This hurts to my toes, but it's accurate.

Danny Phantom prompt/AU/idea thing

Contrary to popular belief, Danny's Obsession is not protection nor space. Danny wishes his obsession were so simple.

Well, not that Protecting is really simple. Or easy... Actually, it's probably better that his Obsession isn't protection. It'd be scarily easy to Fail.

Still, either of those would at least be cooler. Might make him cooler by proxy... Ah, there it goes again. His actual Obsession. See, Danny didn't die dreaming of something cool like space or badass like protecting people. No, no. Danny is, was, is; a stupid, reckless, bullied 14 year old.

Just desperate for Acceptance.

Not sure what name mine has, but I also love Barbara.

do you ever have such a monumentally bad brain day that you just take away its mic?

like...... buddy, you are producing insanely bad thoughts today and believing them, I'll take it from here, get off the stage

I feel this in my soul.

one of my worst writing sins is abusing my power to create compound words. i cannot write the sentence "The sun shone as bright as honey that afternoon." no. that's boring. "The sun was honey-bright that afternoon" however? yes. that sentence is dope as fuck. i do not care if "honey-bright" is a word in the english dictionary. i do not care if the sentence is grammatically correct. i will not change. i will not correct my erred ways. the laws of the english language are mine.

I couldn't say it this well. We all fight the battles begun by the generations gone before, and do our best to aid those who come after in continuing the fight for the betterment of our shared existence.

I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains

All of this. I've seen so many stories ruined by attempts to make them in another medium. Most specifically, animated to live action. The artistic rendering of emotion in good animation is basically impossible to do in live action.

I firmly believe that some stories can never be translated into a different medium and that's okay

[writing-wraith-thephoenix]

Sounds about right.

Stay away from my brother >:(

Lately I’ve been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and who I need to become to become the kind of love I want to be…and when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a single breath, it essentially comes out like this: Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.

Yes.

Different (funnier) Reasons For DC to be Shocked by Amity:

“That’s a whole ass civilian???!?” Let’s face it, it would be pretty concerning if your roommate was like “oh that’s nothing some guy kept trying to skin my classmate/brother back home”. Like that’s a whole ass civilian!

“That’s second date information” the APs just SAY that shit. no filter. chronic oversharers. The information ITSELF isn’t the problem. The heroes have lost all context as to NORMAL conversation, just like the APs, but their altered societal norms go in 👈👉 opposite directions

“There are CIVILLIANS around!” They can’t believe the AP just said that in PUBLIC. you can’t just OUT your weirdness like that! You’re bringing down the curve man!

“That was out of pocket, and kinda ratchet” sass is always a good way to get a gobsmacked expression out of someone! Watch the APs say such out of pocket shit because their sense of danger is fucked up! Like, Star, darling, Lex’s head may indeed look like a badly made colander with too much chrome, but that doesn’t mean you can say it to his face—

“I can’t believe you beat me in a contest you didn’t even know about” the wider heroing culture has a betting pool on trauma and the like. APs keep beating them all out. On accident.

We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.

This is so true.

So can we talk about how executive dysfunction is COMPLETELY TERRIBLE?? It’s like, oh, I need to plan this thing, so

Wait, to do this thing, I need to accomplish TEN OTHER THINGS. So let’s put them in order.

This way.

1, 5, 2, z, x, 7, q. . .

I think that’s ten. Maybe. Also, did I remember to write this down, or am I just going mad?

A year without Christmas blues is a straight-up gift. Like, hello depression my old friend... except, not this year. And admit it. You sang the second sentence in your head.

Especially the people willing to remind you of your value.

Surround yourself with people who see your value, and remind you of it.

ADHD Holidays

Alright, I’m saying it. Holidays are not friendly to anyone, but ADHD takes it to a whole other level. Oh, you need to plan shopping trips around work?

Me before work tomorrow:

Crap, I need to shop. Where was my list? What’s on this side of town? Did I make a budget? Wait, I work in an hour? Why did no one tell me this? Now I have to change clothes. Did I eat breakfast? How much is in my bank account? Oh, frak, now it’s time to leave for work.

Me at work:

What was that other thing I needed? Right, help customers. Cue retail associate script. Blast it all, I said the last question first. Okay, make a joke of it.

Me after work:

Can I die now? No. Shopping. Shopping! SHOPPING! Must do the thing. Executive function work. Now. No, not coffee. Just...ugh...I need the thing. Wait, or was it the other thing? I just want to go to bed! *cries*

New-Not-New

So I’m technically several years old on tumblr, but I haven’t actively tried to get to know the platform until recently. Would love some help.
