In a recent interview I was sternly asked by the host, who did not consider himself a Christian, to defend Christianity. I told him that I couldn't do it, and moreover, that I didn't want to defend the term. He asked me if I was a Christian, and I told him yes. "Then why don't you want to defend Christianity?" he asked, confused. I told him I no longer knew what the term meant. Of the hundreds of thousands of people listening to his show that day, some of them had terrible experiences with Christianity; they may have been yelled at by a teacher in a Christian school, abused by a minister, or browbeaten by a Christian parent. To them, the term Christianity meant something that no Christian I know would defend. By fortifying the term, I am only making them more and more angry. I won't do it. Stop ten people on the street and ask them what they think of when they hear the word Christianity, and they will give you ten different answers. How can I defend a term that means ten different things to ten different people? I told the radio show host that I would rather talk about Jesus and how I came to believe that Jesus exists and that he likes me. The host looked back at me with tears in his eyes. When we were done, he asked me if we could go get lunch together. He told me how much he didn't like Christianity but how he had always wanted to believe Jesus was the Son of God.

The real issue in the Christian community was that it was conditional. You were loved, but if you had questions, questions about whether the Bible was true or whether America was a good country or whether las week's sermon was good, you were not so loved. You were loved in word, but there was, without question, a social commodity that was being withheld from you until you shaped up. By toeing the party line you earned social dollars; by being yourself you did not. If you wanted to be valued, you became a clone.

Bellatrix Star

A TaliaxDanny idea that came to me.

Damian, Bruce, and the rest of the bats discover the Talia al Ghul they had been fighting against, the one that cloned her own son, had the clone kill him, plant a control device in him when he broke his spine, etc etc was actually not the real Talia al Ghul.

Turned out Ra's had cloned her and killed the original when she discovered his little plans to take over Damain's body and she confronted him about it. Ra's had to make a clone when after tossing a dead Talia into the pits but never returned (he meant to kill her as a warning, as a "you may be my blood but will not hesitate to end you Talia.") It explains so much to Damian when remembers how out of nowhere his mother changed, her training him changed from harsh to deadly, the soft motherly love she would give him when behind closed doors suddenly stopped, the tales she would spin for him about his father no longer whispered to him for bed.

How this was find out?

Well it's hard to ignore the facts that when your foolish grandfather in his quest for immortality summons an eldritch being known as the Ghost King into the Mortal Realm and uses Damian as a sacrifice while his (not) mother watches emotionless.

When the being appeared, plunging the room from green glowing flames and the glow of the Lazarus Pits into darkness before a cosmos exploded to life, its glowing green eyes snapped open in the stars and stared at them all. Making every single one of them feel small, so very small.

It took a single glance around the room before stopping on the al Ghul's. It's eyes widen before a steel and firm look entered them. Just as quick as the cosmos sprang to life, it suddenly swirled away into a ball, putting them all back into the Lazarus room,and reformed in front of them to a more humanish height and body.

When the body, around the height and build of Batman, was done forming it took a step forward and suddenly as one blinked a man stood in front of them. Or rather floated. Snow white hair that flickered and wisped towards a crown made of fire and ice, glowing green eyes that held none of the madness but all of the power the Lazarus Pits could give. His clothing were tailored made that were tastefully a mixture of black and white with some silvers and greens, clothes fit for a King one would say. The cosmos that once engulfed the room had shifted into a cloak that hanged around his body, on one side more than the other (think like how CW wears his only the hood is down).

This, this was no doubt the Ghost King, he stood tall and regal and made everyone in the room feel the need to look down, to bow ones head for even just a moment. Even Ra's had trouble disobeying the urge to do so.

"Well..." the being said, his voice deep but not as gravely as Batman's was "What an interesting way to meet my In-Laws and Step-Son..."

He has said that as he looked towards the al Ghul's. Damian flinched back with a frown of confusion and disbelief while Ra's looked panicked for a second when the words registered into his mind, meanwhile Talia... looked emotionless and barely even twitched.

"What the fu-?" Someone began only to stop when the King lifted his hand and with a snap of his fingers a green portal appeared, it looked almost like the Lazarus Pits but it felt... cleaner? Less angry?

"My Bellatrix, my warrior star. I believe I've been summoned to your home dimension. And judging by the looks of it your father created a barely functioning Mirror of you and planned on using your son as a sacrifice to me." He spoke out towards the portal before holding his hand out.

A hand appeared from the portal, a slender hand and with green and black painted nails manicure to perfection before someone walked through it as they took hold of the Ghost King's offering hand.

Standing in front of them was another Talia, only this one looked a tad older than the one in the room. She wore clothing that matched the King to a T but even then, as always, Talia looked deadly in it. Beautiful but very deadly. From the heels she wore to the crown upon her head, a crown made of not ice and fire but of stars and black jewels. Her eyes were sharp as she stared at everyone in the room, frown on her painted lips, but her eyes lit with a small soft joy when she saw Damian only for them to turn poisonous when they landed on Ra's and the other Talia nearby.

"I should had know you would had created a Mirror of me instead of admitting to my son you killed me Father." Queen Talia spat out. "The least you could had done was not make my Mirror so cheaply, it doesn't even have a proper soul attached to it."

#danny phantom #danny fenton #blue rambles #crossover #writing ideas #random idea #danny phantom dc #dpxdc #dcxdp #i forgot Danny and Talia's ship name #Talia was killed when she confronted her father when she found out his plans to take over her son's body #she was tossed in the pits and was meant to return to life but a portal opened up as she was brought back #she landed in Danny's garden and in a Pit Rage attacked any ghost in sight #Danny was called in noticed the Rage and knocked her out before taking her to Frostbite #they find out she is very liminal #like near halfa levels like she just needs something to kill and bring her back at the same time levels. #Talia raged and wept when she woke up #she was told she was in the Infinite Realms and what the Lazarus Pits actually were and that they were going to try to find her a way home #but because the Infinite Realms were well Infinite it was like looking for a needle in haystack #it takes a while and some talks with Jazz but Talia eventuality begins to try to make the most of her life within the Infinite Realms #and the only world is was always connected to #she does eventually fall for Danny though. things happened and Talia can sense her love for Bruce fizzle out and begin to grow for Danny #who never once asked her to change her deadly and swift ways #Danny was the Ghost King now. he understands that sometimes a quick and hard hand needs to be used.he is a fair and just King not a doormat #Danny accidentally called Talia Bellatrix one day. after the female warrior star in the sky. she is deadly and beautiful to him #Talia liked it a lot and well showed him how much she liked it #eventually they date and get married.

Weezer - SZNZ: Summer, traduzione testi

A cosa serve essere bravi se non c’è nessuno che apprezza?

E allora tanto vale accettare il fatto che arriverai ultimo, arriverai ultimo

(da: What’s the Good of Being Good?)

1. Weezer – Lawn Chair, traduzione

Sedia da giardino

   Tranquillo e rilassato sulla tua sedia in giardino

Mandi a chiamare Gabriele e Michele

“Ragazzi, dovremmo torturare gli umani

Ma sì, perché non farlo?

Giusto per divertimento, che il paradiso è di una noia…

Troppe vigne, troppe arpe, troppi sorrisi, non si piange abbastanza

Loro soffriranno per farci scaricare un po’ di emozioni”

   Beh, io adesso mi alzo e te ne dico quattro

Sei una testa di cazzo, dio mio, non c’è dubbio

Insoddisfatto della pioggia, hai creato le lacrime

E hai sbattuto fuori tuo figlio

E ti aspettavi che ti lodassimo e adorassimo il tuo nome in una canzone

   Adesso lei trattiene a stento le lacrime (per favore, dicci perché)

Adesso lei boccheggia quasi senza fiato (per favore, dicci perché)

Perché non ha mai fatto del male a nessuno

       2. Weezer – Records, traduzione

Dischi

   Sento i dischi nella testa dovunque vada

Ho i dischi nella testa che ruotano fuori controllo

Girano, girano, girano in continuazione

Girano, girano, girano in continuazione

Girano, girano, girano, eh, sì

Dischi nella testa

   Sento i dischi nella testa dovunque vada

Ho i dischi nella testa che ruotano fuori controllo

Girano, girano, girano in continuazione

Girano, girano, girano in continuazione

Girano, girano, girano, eh, sì

Dischi nella testa

   Suono la batteria con un cuscino sul divano

Vado avanti a suonare dopo la coda

E anche se il mondo sta finendo, uscendo di scena mi sentirete cantare

Non provo alcun dolore

Quando la gente mi fa arrabbiare non sento nemmeno una loro parola

Solo il suono degli scratch

   Sento i dischi nella testa dovunque vada

Ho i dischi nella testa che ruotano fuori controllo

Girano, girano, girano in continuazione

Girano, girano, girano in continuazione

Girano, girano, girano, eh, sì

Dischi nella testa

   Mi sento Rihanna

Mi sento Lana

Mi sento i Nirvana

Per cui te ne puoi andare affanculo

   Perché a volte non ci voglio avere niente a che fare

Di cosa penso o cosa provo non frega niente a nessuno

Tiro via la plastica, annuso il vinile

Per me è come la Sacra Bibbia

Non provo alcun dolore perché ho la mia novocaina

Quando la gente mi fa arrabbiare non sento nemmeno una loro parola

Solo il suono degli scratch

   Sento i dischi nella testa dovunque vada

Ho i dischi nella testa che ruotano fuori controllo

Girano, girano, girano in continuazione

Girano, girano, girano in continuazione

Girano, girano, girano, eh, sì

Dischi nella testa

   Mi sento Rihanna

Mi sento Lana

Mi sento i Nirvana

Per cui te ne puoi andare affanculo

   Girano, girano, girano in continuazione

Girano, girano, girano in continuazione

Girano, girano, girano, eh, sì

Dischi nella testa

       3. Weezer – Blue Like Jazz, traduzione

Triste come il jazz

   Riccioli di fumo dai tuoi polmoni

E sudore che cola dalla batteria

   Tanto di cappello, hai risolto il cubo di Rubik

Facendo diventare il giallo arancione e poi blue

   Blue come il jazz, blue come il jazz

Fammi vedere come si fa a essere così fighi

Blue come il jazz, blue come il jazz

Fammi vedere come si fa a essere così fighi

   Non farci caso, sono un po’ lento

Non riesco a suonarli i sedicesimi

   Cocco di mamma che scopre le cambiali

Non ho gli huevos per raggiungere gli obiettivi come fai tu

   Blue come il jazz, blue come il jazz

Fammi vedere come si fa a essere così fighi

Blue come il jazz, blue come il jazz

Fammi vedere come si fa a essere così fighi

   Io sono rosso in faccia, tu hai la bolletta da pagare

Vedo la tua anima

Ed è nera, ed è nera, ed è blue

   Blue come il jazz, blue come il jazz

Fammi vedere come si fa a essere così fighi

Blue come il jazz, blue come il jazz

Fammi vedere come si fa a essere così fighi

Blue, blue

Blue, blue

Fammi vedere come si fa a essere così fighi

       4. Weezer – The Opposite of Me, traduzione

Il mio opposto

   E se dovessi dire “col cavolo, non sono il tuo ragazzo soldato”?

Mi metterei a ridere mentre la tua vita crolla come la caduta di Troia

Mi hai lasciato sul versante di una montagna

Non hai diritto di mostrarti sorpreso

   Sì, diventerò qualcun altro, diventerò qualcun altro

Il mio opposto, il mio opposto

E sì, se non l’avessi capito, diventerò qualcun altro

Il mio opposto, il mio opposto

   Sono sempre stato lo zerbino su cui ti pulivi i piedi

Non hai mai visto quanto fossi alto

Beh, adesso hai avuto modo di vederlo

Alla fine ho raggiunto il punto di rottura

Guarda l’uomo che prende il posto del ragazzo

   Sì, diventerò qualcun altro, diventerò qualcun altro

Il mio opposto, il mio opposto

E sì, se non l’avessi capito, diventerò qualcun altro

Il mio opposto, il mio opposto

   Mi metto lì proprio davanti al portico

Con la lama pronta e in mente la vendetta

E con un affondo verrò tramutato da mortale all’immortalità, immoralità, amoralità, il mio opposto

   Sì, diventerò qualcun altro, diventerò qualcun altro

Il mio opposto, il mio opposto

E sì, se non l’avessi capito, diventerò qualcun altro

Il mio opposto, il mio opposto

   Il mio opposto

Il mio opposto

       5. Weezer – What’s the Good of Being Good?, traduzione

A cosa serve essere bravi?

   Cammino per questi corridoi venerati

Signori barbuti sulla parete

Vinco un’altra medaglia luccicante

Sento ancora adesso gli applausi

Ho vinto tutto già tante volte, ma sono ancora insoddisfatto

Sì, mi sembra che manchi qualcosa se non c’è nessuno al mio fianco

   A cosa serve essere bravi se non c’è nessuno che apprezza?

E allora tanto vale accettare il fatto che arriverai ultimo, arriverai ultimo

(A cosa serve essere bravi?)

   Nessuna moglie innamorata che mi sorride

Nessuna figlia per cui stravedere con orgoglio fino al giorno in cui la cedo con una lacrimuccia che mi scende

Nessun figlio intelligente che impari i miei insegnamenti

E che faccia del suo meglio per essere grato quando lo consolo perché non riesce a superare la prova

   A cosa serve essere bravi se non c’è nessuno che apprezza?

E allora tanto vale accettare il fatto che arriverai ultimo, arriverai ultimo

(A cosa serve essere bravi?)

   Dimmi a cosa serve essere bravi quando il tuo migliore amico ti pugnala alle spalle

E racconta menzogne alla gente e infanga il tuo buon nome?

Sapreste dirmi a cosa serve essere bravi quando il tuo migliore amico ti ruba la donna

E sdraiato su un cuscino infanga il tuo buon nome?

   A cosa serve essere bravi se non c’è nessuno che apprezza?

E allora tanto vale accettare il fatto che arriverai ultimo, arriverai ultimo

(A cosa serve essere bravi?)

(A cosa serve essere bravi?)

       6. Weezer – Cuomoville, traduzione

Cuomoville

   C’è della magia in una sera d’estate

Le rane gracidano nello stagno

Noi ci volgiamo alla salvezza dall’altra parte del Rubicone

Tutto il giorno lavoriamo con le nostre mani

Scavando il suolo toscano, piantando piselli e cavoli

Nutriti dalle fatiche

   Qui a Cuomoville non ci servono catene d’oro

Lasciatele ai soldati romani sui loro carri alati

   È un surrogato del paradiso, mentre il mondo malvagio gira

Noi ci confortiamo a vicenda, non ci deludiamo mai

Se è questo tutto ciò che ci è dato

Sono sicuro che mi basterà sapere che tu sarai con me il giorno che morirò

   Dateli in pasto, dateli in pasto ai leoni

Dateli in pasto, dateli in pasto ai leoni

Ripagato con la tua stessa moneta

Dateli in pasto, dateli in pasto ai leoni

Fate ciao con la mano mentre muoiono

Ripagato con la tua stessa moneta

   Qui a Cuomoville non ci servono catene d’oro

Lasciatele ai soldati romani

Salute ai soldati romani sui loro carri alati

       7. Weezer – Thank You and Good Night, traduzione

Grazie e buonanotte

   Nella prima partita della mia stagione d’esordio ero un pesce fuor d’acqua

Cresciuto nella bambagia di un colosseo, cadevo a pezzi

Tutti ridevano di me manco fossi uno scimpanzè

Gridando al cielo ho giurato che avrei imparato a volare

Guardatemi adesso

   Grazie e buonanotte

Ci vediamo quando capita

   Scusa ma non ho ricevuto il promemoria

Il mio batterista suona fuori tempo

Marcio in una direzione unica mentre voialtri continuate a ripetervi

A ognuno il suo, dicono, ed è vero

Alcuni tifano rosso e alcuni blu

Mentre io sto sù in cielo a fare ciao con la manina

Bye bye

   Grazie e buonanotte

Ci vediamo quando capita

Grazie e buonanotte

Ci vediamo quando capita

Non sono uno con le stampelle, non sono uno con le stampelle

Vediamo un po’ dov’è l’amore quando sono preso bene

Grazie e buonanotte

Ci vediamo quando capita

   Allaccia la cintura, mettiti le cuffie, inserisci l’elio

Col joystick in mano, pieghiamo da un lato all’altro

Premi il pulsante per dare la spinta

Resta concentrato sul compito

Sù, sù, saliamo sempre più sù

Prendiamo velocità

   Grazie e buonanotte

Ci vediamo quando capita

Grazie e buonanotte

Ci vediamo quando capita

Non sono uno con le stampelle, non sono uno con le stampelle

Vediamo un po’ dov’è l’amore quando sono preso bene

   Da questo punto di osservazione privilegiato vedo tutti con gli occhi in sù a guardarmi

E so come sarà, sarà, sarà

Devo continuare a volare, volare

Da questo punto di osservazione privilegiato vedo tutti con gli occhi in sù a guardarmi

E so come sarà, sarà, sarà

Devo continuare a volare, volare

   Devo continuare a volare, volare

Grazie

Grazie e buonanotte

Buonanotte

   Ci vediamo

Ci vediamo

Currently Watching - April

aka The Masterlist

Because I love a good little list - in alphabetical order! 😊

Regularly updated during the month, latest update 26.04.2024

A little link to my favorite bl-tropes-collection 💙

I am happy about gif-requests 🌼

Here you can find all of my gifs.

Tracking: #josistag

At the end you can have a look at what we can expect in April with a MDL link and a link for a trailer (if avaible).

This is guaranteed to contain spoilers!

1. 25 Ju, Akasaka de 🇯🇵 (2/10)

They were fellow students and now they have to play in a BL together. One of them is two years older and popular. For the other one, this is his first big role and he needs it, so he is determined to to anything he needs to do, to be a good actor. Even when this means to find a partner and fall in love to be able to play the role perfectly. Why not try to be lovers with your co-star. All for the sake of the series of course.

2. Blue Boys 🇰🇷 (2/4)

This short series is quite good. I saw the first episode by chance and I was hooked, but lost it again, because I couldn't track it on MDL. Now it is up there. I hope these two can resolve their missunderstanding, with talking! But they are too hungry for each other...

3. Boys Be Brave! 🇰🇷 (2/8)

Enemies to lovers, but different. Jinwoo likes Kisub and Kisub knows this. But while Kisub gives his heart away to every person who hits on him and can't really say No to anyone, Jinwoo loves to build up his wall and hide behind a strong No. Their worlds collide, when Kisub moves in with Jinwoo, if he likes it or not. Great first episodes!

4. Cityboy_Log 🇰🇷 (11/?)

Soon-to-be Idols, actors and models vlog their days of photo shoots and meetups and how they fall in love with each other. It is surprisingly good and the acting is excellent. It really feels like a "real" vlog and that is what we are all here for. I really enjoy those four men on my screen. I don't know when they show new content. It was said they'll be back in march... well... guess not.

5. Deep Night 🇹🇭 (3/8)

his is everything I was expecting, so it didn't disappoint, I guess. To be honest, I watch this for First. I guess he would have chemistry with a stick, soooo this is nice. And I hope the story, at least stays like this and won't get worse... Update: This show is a mess 😂 there is so much going on all at once and at the same time nothing really happens? It is so confusing, yet very entertaining. But Wela, my dear, it is totally okay to be pissed if one fucks with you, while you are so drunk you can't remember shit the next day... Just a thought.

6. Kare no Iru Seikatsu 🇯🇵 (3/8)

Kazuhito has no girlfriend and the ones he had, broke up with him, because they felt he likes someone else... Who might that be?... The story is simple, I guess? (But perhaps not that simple... The preview for ep 3 looks interesting.) Childhood friends are forced to move in together after spending time apart. One is a little bit naive and is trying to find out why girls breaking up with the most charming and handsome guy he knows and the latter is in love with the naive one and in the end they have their happy ending. I like it. I want to see their growth.

7. Love Is Like A Cat 🇰🇷 (8/12)

Okay, Uno is just a bad character. He feels empty. I have no emotional connection to him. Everything feels... rushed and strange. What is this show? It is really not that good. I skipped half of the episodes. JM is cute and he is doing a decent job. I watch only for him. But not the flirting between the vet and him. This feels kinda awkward... And I stand by what I said last week. It didn't get better. This scene in the woods was cute, but what is Mew doing? What are those acting choices? No shame to him, but what was the director thinking? He can do so much better than that! He is just a whiney persona...

8. My Stand-In 🇹🇭 (1/12)

Okay, hear me out. I watch this for Poom and for Poom only. But the story lookes interesting, it was quite intriguing. I don't know why, but I cringed a bit too much at some scenes. But Poom is beautiful and that is all I care about. Yes, I can be this shallow!

9. Only Boo 🇹🇭 (3/12)

Moo's flirting is something else. And it is adorable. I love Moo! And I love Kang's reactions and him slowly but surely falling for Moo. This is such a feel-good show. Perfect for a lazy sunday! And those two have really good chemistry. The side dish is also interesting.

10. Unknown 🇹🇼 (12/12)

The story about found family, childhood trauma and struggling topped with a lovestory between "brothers". They aren't really brothers so I really don't care and just enjoy this forbidden and hurtful lovestory to the fullest. This is exactly what I hoped for! The longing, tension and hurting is so good! It is the aftermath of the shooting and Qian is still dealing with his emotions and his feelings for Yuan. The love between them is real and strong, but Qian is afraid and can't just let his heart decide over the head, yet. He loves Yuan, but is afraid what that means for them and especially for Yuan's future. And yet he held him back. He was the one reaching out in the end!

11. Word of Honor 🇨🇳 (20/36)

Those two flirt a lot and are a married couple. Everyone knows that. And I love and enjoy that! Overall this is such a fun watch and the different sects and intrigues are sometimes a little bit confusing, but interesting. I love this world of martial arts and I love how protective Wen Kexing is over Zhou Zishu.

Finished in April

Series

My Strawberry Film 🇯🇵

This is what I call a love triangle. And the fact that the screenwriters worked for Eien No Kinou or Jack o'Frost promised some heartbreak and teenage angst. And they delivered. I really like this series. And I felt so many emotions, especially for Ryo. And I really loved the ending. No fake relationship and no unrealistic confessions, just some teenagers in love and being friends. And I think Hiraku was such a sweet friend in this last episode. He apologized and he finally recognized Ryo's feelings for him. And I believe they stay friends in the future. It might be difficult, but a good friendship is worth fighting for. It has so much to do with respect and love for each other. It is a solid 8 out of 10 for me.

Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Joto 🇯🇵

The story about highschool sweethearts, who didn't have the chance to enjoy their young love, because of horrible family backgrounds. Their story is devastating and I am happy they found their way back to each other. The story was good, the acting was good, I am in love with Furuya Robin, which is nice, and the side characters were special (shoutout to Yuto!). I wish there was more "passion" from Miyata, but I guess it is due to his character. Overall it was a good watch and I enjoyed it! A good 8 out of 10 for me.

Jazz For Two 🇰🇷

I love bls about music and about traumatic pasts. The second couple has my heart. I just love them coming together. Usually I hate this bully-trope, but with them, I kinda enjoyed it. Perhaps because Jooha always looked like a hurting puppy. Overall the homophobia in this one is strong and I think it is interesting to see them deal with their own feelings. Internal and external homophobia is such a big thing in all their stories and I wish they had more time to show the developement from hating themselves to loving the other person and themselves. But in my opinion they made a good story and a good show. I like it very much. And what was that kiss in the end? Wow! A good 9 out of 10 for.

To Be Continued 🇹🇭

I really like this one! I read some comments that the reason they never got together was just stupid, but from their perspective I can understand why they reacted how they reacted. They were young and unsure what to do and what all of this meant for them and their friendship. What I liked about the show was the present and past scenes. We learned so much about their past and the scenes fitted perfectly. It was a really good series and I am glad I waited to binge it. Guess I come back to this one from time to time. Rewatch value is there. And those two have really good chemistry! A good 9 out of 10 for me.

Movie

Short Film

Dropped in April

We are 🇹🇭

I dropped this after the first half of the first episode. There are a few reasons for that. First, I need some shows to binge on lonely sundays. And second, I just don't feel like watching this one. It was so quirky for me. Not my kinf od humor right now.

Looking forward to in April

In true (closeted) hopeless romantic fashion, you and Bakugo always manage to steal the show at every the wedding you attend, looking so cute when you ignore the rest of the crowd and dance together, mouthing the words to each other lip to lip☹️☹️☹️

[little-pondhead]

I am physically holding myself back from going into great detail about these outfits.

Here’s some shitty close-ups.

#i drew some for jazz too #before this one #and the pic is just full of notes #about literally every part of each outfit #how do I post that?? #there are so many notes #doodles from a pond #danny phantom #danielle fenton #outfit time!!! #pondhead rambles #I’m probably going to make more #if you squint she has freckles #the blush thing is new I’m trying it out #okay ONE THING #THE COURT OUTFIT #i intentionally made the inner lining of the cloak and boots to be that navy blue #and decorated it so it either looks like space or the bottom of the ocean #because she wants to be like her dad and Danny has a space cape #but someone mentioned Danielle would love ocean and I took that and ran with it #so people and ghosts alike constantly debate what her cape is showing #space or the ocean? #it’s not until she’s much older that her outfit better reflects her interests #i took inspiration from deep ocean pics #because when pictures are taken usually there’s some kind of light to illuminate whatever the subject is #and the lights reflect all the gunk in the water much better than it would closer to the surface #so it kinda looks like stars!!! #a stretch I know but shut up #elle fenton #dani phantom

Literally half of my playlist is old romance songs not because I enjoy romance but because I can’t for the life of me find old jazz that ISN’T romantic, send help I need suggestions

#aroace #aromantic spectrum #aromance #aromantic #aromanticism #aro pride #arospec #aro #aromantism #aromantic asexual #jazz #jazz music #I’ll also accept blues #Just give me old (i’m talking 20’s-30’s MAYBE 40’s) music that isn’t about love please #Even better if it’s about religion but not in like a “praise Jesus” way #I’m talking “the devil is literally after me” vibes

Tom and Jack are brothers - mainly DPxMLB (can be DPxDCxMLB)

It was clear from the moment Jack was born that he was Gina’s son, no one could doubt that overzealous nature, and while Tom didn't have the same level of entustatsum as his mother and brother it didn't mean he wasn't an excitable person either. Truly Roland had no idea how he didn't die living with them, the man didn't realize how much he was like them nor really saw how much Jack would go on to be like him in some ways.

One thing was for certain the boys loved their parents, the Fenton luck and sanguine as well as the Dupain passion and vigor were ever-present in the household growing up. Gina loved her boys very much, they were the only reason she stuck in one place for so long. However, she was able to convince Roland to take them all over the U.S. and Europe.

Jack went on to have a passion for inventing and ghosts, both of which Roland looked down upon but Gina was his biggest supporter followed by Tom. Tom ended up enjoying baking with his father. (Jack tended to forget a meal or two when he got too into his work. So it worked out.)

Jack would move out (taking his mother’s maiden name) and go to college in Wisconsin and meet Vlad and Maddie and fall in love and all that! Tom though opens a bakery a few years of baking for some personal events and such, and meets Sabine who moved to Paris to go to school, they fall in love and she takes business courses to help better run the bakery. Roland does his…thing and he never approved of Jack’s hobbies either, “that's not what job a family man takes on” or something, he of course doesn't try to contact him. He gets to be a grumpy old man in (guilty) peace.

Tom and Jack have never missed anything, they're best friends and each other’s biggest supporters. Best man, holiday’s, etc. So of course they make sure their kids have plenty of meetings despite being an ocean away. They couldn't have been happier that their kids were so close in age, which meant they wouldn't struggle to connect.

It was quick to be seen none of the kids showed signs of the Dupain shape, oh well maybe they’d still get the strength? Or perhaps the Fenton luck would just be much stronger. To say where the kids got their size from was an understatement, and to say very amusing to their wives and mother.

Marinette loved her cousins and didn't like how it was only every so often she got to see them. And her aunt and uncle were very cool, and reminded her of Nonna Gina. It was fun to see Uncle Jack lift her papa up, he was the only person she’d ever seen who could pick up her papa.

Jazz and Danny loved the Dupain-Chengs, they seemed to help level their parents out and they actually set aside their ghost obsession to just be a family. Not to mention they made the best food, going to their home was the best, you never got attacked by the food!

Jazz, Marinette, and Danny were as thick as thieves as their dads were, they were a unit. Which meant Marinette had called Jazz and Danny after she had taken the earrings off, and Danny had called Marinette to tell her about how he was dealing with his powers after dying.

And the next time the Fenton’s came to the Dupain-Cheng’s maybe Marinette and Danny hugged a little longer and a little tighter than usual, and Jazz spent her time glued to the younger girl’s side.

#jack and tom are brothers #danny and jazz are practically marinette’s siblings #dp x mlb #this could totally also be a dp x dc x mlb #danny and marinette totally comforted each other through their bb #blond bullies #jazz tries to help Marinette through her crush ptsd. especially after socquline goes and can't be there for her #jazz definitely went and threatened chloé and kim after that. NO ONE hurts her baby cousin #that's why chloé wasn't so hands on the next year of school. she was scared of it getting back to jazz #in my head it’s marinette was born between jazz and danny #which means danny dies the year following ladybug becoming a thing #i haven't seen a single jack and tom being related and that is a crime. like ITS RIGHT THERE PEOPLE!!! #gina dupain’s madian name is fenton #like the similarities between the dupain’s and the fenton’s make my brain go brrrrr #blue eyed dark haired child who ends up being a hero because it’s needed and have parents that don't really pay attention to them so #it makes it easier to be a hero and has a very clear crush and has an older but close-in-age figure who will kick ass for them #also danny and marinette like getting the greatest responsibilities in the universe (if you ghostking danny route) #also let all three of these scrawny kids the dupain strength!! #it would be so funny #dp x mlb prompt #dp x mlb crossover

Here are the things I didn't like about the churches I went to. First: I felt like people were trying to sell me Jesus. I was a salesman for a while, and we were taught that you are supposed to point out all the benefits of a product when you are selling it, That is how I felt about some of the preachers I heard speak. They were always pointing out the benefits of Christian faith. That rubbed me wrong. It's not that there aren't benefits, there are, but did they have to talk about spirituality like it's a vacuum cleaner. I never felt like Jesus was a product. I wanted Him to be a person. Not only that, but they were always pointing out how great the specific church was. The bulletin read like a brochure for Amway. They were always saying how life-changing some conference was going to be. Life-changing? What does that mean? It sounded very suspicious. I wish they would just tell it to me straight rather than trying to sell me on everything. I felt like I got bombarded with commercials all week and then went to church and got even more.

I know it’s all just standards.

But Ringo’s Sentimental Journey is utterly charming.

We really should talk more about how he turns to this project as therapy as the band is falling apart. It’s pure nostalgia in a bottle but with Ringo jazz drumming and just having fun with it singing and adding these cute little improv bits. Blues Turning Grey Over You is a highlight for the “I just lost myself there, child!” laugh at the end.

It’s all utterly charming.

It’s a really cool collaboration too. He recruited different musicans arrange each piece (including Paul, who arranged Stardust, perhaps before the breakup drama heats up). George Martin produces and gets the big band together. They start recording more sporadically at first, starting Oct 1969. Night and Day, Stormy Weather (which got left off the final album but I love he tried it), Stardust, and Dream, all recorded before Christmas. The rest are Jan-Mar 1970.

It gets ripped to shreds by the rock cred sector. But Ringo using this as a grief project, sorta returning to childhood in the midst of a blow for comfort, feels more honest and healthy than he gets credit for. It’s also brassy af. This is the height of “fuck jazz,” and Ringo’s just like “so what? I’ll do what I like.”

George said he liked it. John slagged him off for it in interviews, but I bet he secretly liked it too. Not sure whether Paul ever commented on it given the dual release drama. He does his own standards album decades later, after it becomes a thing artists do. But when Ringo does it in 1970? No one was doing that.

#sentimental journey #ringo starr #blue turning grey over you #particularly sounds like ringos version of grieving #pringo folks yall should be all over this one #pauls recording all by himself while john and george recruit ringo for their solo work #we know ringo took that hard with that lyric about not knowing if paul will play with him #you always hurt the ones you love #thats why that quotes on his mind #ringo appreciation post #my text #hey hey found that post i thought i lost! #when i say fuck jazz i mean fuck 40s big band #boomers saw it as their parents music and rejected it for decades #ringos like i know its my parents music but its also sounds of my childhood and like a warm blanket and thats kinda beautiful

A Fair Warning

It was only a matter of time, and a long awaited and well deserved comeuppance, when Joker tried to hurt the wrong person or people.

Not everyone was going to play his games like 'Batsy' does. Not everyone will hesitate or let him live should he put his hands on someone to hurt them. Not everyone will believe Arkham could 'fix' him, he just needed more time and help.

No.

This time Joker bit off more than he could chew when he kidnapped the newly hired Arkham psychiatrist Jasmine Fenton (and he had plans, so many plans, for her. With her mixture of Harley's mind and her looks matching Gordon's daughter would sure to cause some chaos and pain in memories) and the girl's visiting sister Danielle 'Ellie' (and did he laugh when he noticed the 'Wayne' adoptive looks the girl had, on the fun he'll have, maybe he'll beat her the way he beat the second Robin just for funzie's, it'll no doubt upset Batman) from Jasmine's apartment.

He had plans to keep the Bats guessing where he was and by the time they reach him it'll be far to late for them to save either of the two girls, he had just sent the little video he taped to the Bats and the police to get the ball rolling...

So...

So why did a shiver run down his spine for the first time in years when they both looked unafraid (it was their eyes that made him shiver, a look of already dead yet somehow alive, something he never seen before. He's seen the light fade from people's eyes before yes, he's even laughed as he watch people desperately cling onto life only for it to fade into nothing as they took a final breath but never have he seen someone, something alive yet dead at the same time before. It, their eyes, held a natural yet unnatural sense as they stared at him, stared at everything that made him Joker and it unnerved him), honestly they looked very bored, and one of them (the youngest of the two, and the one with more of the look of death than life in their eyes) said with a chill tune in their tone.

"Last chance to back out of this Freakshows Reject. You wont like what'll be waiting for you."

The tone alone was enough to send another bone deep chill down Joker's spine.

But instead of listening to his natural instincts, the deep inkling of run blaring at him, Joker merely placed a grin on his face, ignoring the strain he felt from doing so, and said as nastily as he could in order to scare the two girls (BOTH OF THEM STILL LOOKED BORED WITH HIM?!?! Not even a twitch of fear!)

"OH? And pray tell what is awaiting little ol' me hum?"

His mocking question got a wide feral grin from the smaller girl, a grin with sharp teeth and iris eyes beginning to bleed slowly from sky blue to neon green with each second he stared at her and he barely stopped himself from jumping in his spot when Jasmine answered his question.

"Your end."

-x-x-

By the time the Bats get to the warehouse Joker had taken Dr. Jasmine 'Jazz' Fenton and Danielle 'Ellie' Fenton they were prepared for anything and everything to go wrong. As much as they held the tiniest bit of hope that the two young women were still okay they knew better than to really do, this was the Joker that had them after all.

They had manged to narrow down his location much quicker than normal when they gotten Joker's first video and his little 'game' he was setting the Bats on, most locations he gave them were going to be red herrings or traps to keep them busy and it would had worked. Batman and the others would had been searching for hours for even a hint of the clue of where the Joker and his hostages were actually being kept.

It was nearly, not really, a shame all of Joker's plans went to waste when Red Hood had stumbled onto something when scooping out Jasmine's apartment with Red Robin.

You see, not only were they looking for clues at first but something about the apartment Jasmine rented seemed off, Red Robin noticed it first and called in back up encase there was more to oldest Fenton than what they could dig up (oldest daughter of Dr's. Jackson and Madeline Fenton, grew up in a small Illinois town, straight A student and a goal to become a psychologist, has two younger siblings, etc etc) and their suspension raised up more when the moment Red Hood entered the apartment and seemed to freeze for a moment.

Red Hood couldn't really explain it but he said it felt like something was... strange. Not evil bad danger strange but it felt familiar? Like he was a kid again on the streets and had walked into someone else's territory but knew the person wouldn't be too much of a hardass about it as long as he didn't stur up trouble or disrespect. A kind of... as long as you don't fuck around you won't find out feeling.

It was because of this feeling that Jason had manged to stumble across something in the room, his instincts telling him there was more to it, and they had discovered a clunky old custom PDA hidden away in a false floorboard in the office room. Thankfully Red Robin, was there in person because the old thing apparently had a rather ingenious firewall to keep others (aka Hackers) OUT but it did nothing against someone who held the main thing.

But still it took Red Robin almost frying the damn thing to get to open up, turns out the ghost and star stickers on the PDA was a rather large hint of the pass code. Once Red Robin was in the PDA he noticed some rather interesting files, one of them labeled "Gremlin Tracking" with a tiny green blob with red eyes and a green outlined star as the icons.

Curiosity taking a hold on the most curious of the Bats he opened it up, hoping it would need another password, and watched as the screen split into two maps, one was... strange, there was no land marks or anything but the star icon seemed to be right in the middle of wherever it was and the only hint of anything was the name "baby brother" and the map labeled as IR.

The other one showed an above map of Gotham, before zooming into the city, heading towards some abandoned warehouses Red Robin knew of and stopped right at one. This was the green blob icon, the short abbreviation for Gotham in the corner of the map, and the name for the icon was 'baby sister'

Red Robin immediately got onto coms to tell the others of what apparently was a tracker for Jasmine's younger siblings. Some questioned why the young woman had trackers on her siblings, though some of the others snarked back that "oh didn't know keeping trackers on each other wasn't normal. Mind if I loose the one you got on me than?"

After a quick sweep into the warehouses camera feeds, the very few up that could be accessed, done by Oracle they quickly discovered that yes the tracking on the younger girl of the two, Danielle Fenton, was correct and that was where they and Joker were at.

Despite this, Batman decided that in order to make sure Joker didn't have suspicion that they already know his actual location he made sure to send a few of the others to the fake locations.

So here they were now, staking out the warehouse where they could see a few of the Jokers goons walking around and looking for a way into the building without alerting any of them. As they talked low into coms, Robin mentioning a possible way in for Red Robin by how small it was, Red Robin hissing back a "just because you got a growth spurt doesn't mean you can poke fun at my height you little-"

"Wait!" Red Hood suddenly hissed shouted, his tone startling the rest of them and they all turned their heads to him. Batman made a quick and harsh grunt as a way to say "report."

Under his helmet Jason's eyes were wide and wild. He could feel something, something huge was on the rise, like something was out of sight but the energy of it was felt.

And if Jason could feel it from his spot, the Jokers goons all felt the same thing from the way they all dropped their weapons, turned toward the warehouse and looked ready to bolt like scared animals.

Jason opened his mouth to explain but fell silent when the feeling suddenly popped. Whatever was causing the feeling was here and like the calm before the storm he could only watch as the first drop of rain fall.

The next thing they know, was the noise and the screaming.

It was inhuman, a mixture of noise and sounds to hard to explain. The closest they could explain was a thousand voices coming in all at once mixing with radio static that kept changing volume so only few words could be even hinted at, and the angry cawing of crows along with the flapping of their wings as they took flight. The noise was so bad that many who heard it nearly ripped their coms out, or covered their ears. Thankfully it only lasted a few seconds.

Then, the air itself shifted. It felt like the coldest of winter nights and bone chilling shivers ran down their bodies for a moment. The air was suddenly that sharp cold that hurt to breathe sometimes.

The goons surrounding the warehouse fled in fear. Many scrambling to get far, far away from whatever was happening. If they felt even a fraction of what Jason could feel, he could understand. He honestly felt like a small animal cornered by a predator and there was no escape.

Then just as suddenly as it happened, everything shifted again. The noise of Gotham returned to normal, cars honking, a stray cat hissing or a dog barking, police sirens in the distance, hissing steam from a nearby factory. The air went from winter cold to a chill mid winter harbor feel now.

Once everyone registered what had just happened and not wanting to waste anymore time they bolted towards the warehouse, cautious and alert in case they needed to fight. Batman went in first, quickly making his way to the area he knew Joker would be with the Fenton sisters and wondered just what the fuck was that? Did Joker do something? Was he messing with things outside of his usual MO?!

He walked into the room and stopped.

There was nothing.

The room was in fact the room Joker had used to record his first message to them, the layout was correct and the evidence of two people who had been tied up were still there as well, ropes that weren't cut sitting on them, a lone lamp light above shining down from above no doubt to emphasize the two girls were meant to be the 'stars' of Jokers latest show. Thing was, the two weren't there despite the fact Oracle swore she could see them a few mins ago from a camera set up in the room, she would later explain that she heard the noise as well and that all her tech had glitched hard.

The only other thing in the room was, sitting innocently on one of the chairs was a green sticky note and on a tiny pillow was a tiny sickly green orb with hints of purple, white, and red swirling in it.

A note they would later read the following message written on it after carefully examining it over.

'Joker learned not to touch what is mine to protect. Sorry not sorry, but hey one less killer clown and he was warned not my fault he didn't take it seriously... The massive amount of souls wanting to rip apart the Joker's soul into nothing was quite a sight to be honest.

They were so ruthless. Best not mess with the vengeful dead am I right?

PS. I left a tiny gift for Jason Todd aka Robin Two. It's the tiniest piece of Joker's soul left over after everyone else got done. He can finish it off since he's a reverent and all, and well they need their revenge filled in order to peacefully move on later or else they'll be stuck forever in a loop of madness and revenge. So yeah. Hope he likes the gift.'

D.P.'

It took Jason less than a second after those words were spoken out to reach for the orb, ignoring the cautious and alarmed cries of the others, and could feel deep, deep, deep in his own soul the absolute pure weeping joy as he threw the orb onto the floor, the bottom shattering thus it didn't roll away and stomped hard with his reinforced boots. Crushing the broken orb into more pieces and if one listened closely they could hear the pure screaming terror that came from it.

And Jason for the first time in years felt his rage finally leave him.

Rambles inbound

Recently learned about the Ghost-Maker character and his sidekick experiment, Phantom-One. And damn do I ever want to contrive a situation where a vengeful Jazz that has lost everything and everyone she loves seeks out Ghost-Maker so he can teach her how to fight and take down corrupt organizations like the GIW, which leads to her becoming Phantom-Two.

Like she would definitely recognize that Minhkoa is a clinical psychopath and would just roll with it. She would never expect him to actually care for her and would tell him that once he inevitably grows tired of her that she will leave with no questions asked.

Kinda see her in this situation as being a loose Tim Drake parallel with her butting into Minhkoa's life and having no illusions that she matters to him. She is just a placeholder, an experiment for the artistic, psychopathic crime fighter and she is ok with that. She will use her intellect to aid her mentor but neither actually have any emotional connection with each other.

IDK my brain just loves the thought of her becoming Phantom-Two and the personal meaning that name would have for her. Sure, Minhkoa named his first sidekick Phantom-One and she is just the next numbered experiment for him but Phantom was Danny's name, his identity. She is not Phantom but she will carry the name when she finally returns to the United States and burns the GIW to the ground.

There is also something to be said for Ghost-Maker and Phantom-One wearing white as their dominant color. It would be lovely to have this new Phantom-Two wearing the same white that the GIW love so much as she cuts a bloody trail through their agents.

#dpxdc #jazz fenton #ghost-maker #ramblings #i picture her with a helmet like ghost-maker's but also with a hood on top of it #and unlike the blue lights that minhkoa's tech has she would have ectoplasmic green being her armor and tech highlight #just love the idea of ecto green eyes glowing from beneath her hood as she slaughters the GIW and burns down the corrupt agency #also give minhkoa more phantoms so he can compare them to bruce's robins lol #just him reminiscing 'ah yeah phantom-two was my tim drake. just barged into my life and became the brains behind a lot of my operations'
