DPXDC Prompt #131

Danny started his new job at Wayne industries today and he was a little nervous about messing up. His adopted family the Fentons kicked him out after finding out he was Phantom. Danny was a little disappointed but it was better than how he thought they’d react. He knew he had other family and from what little cryptic Clockwork told him they lived in Gotham.

He gets to his new bosses office and knocks on his door. When he’s told to come in Danny does so but then comes face to face by what he can only assume is his twin and the CEO of the company, Tim Drake. Danny had about 5 seconds before he found himself pinned to the floor.

#dp x dc prompt #dp x dc #dc x dp #danny fenton #danny phantom #writing prompt #poor danny #Danny gets abandoned by the Fentons #Kicked out of the home tw #Danny and Tim are twins #Danny works at Wayne Tech #The Drakes just wanted 1 kid to be their heir so they give Danny up for adoption #Tim knew this after going through records after his parents died #Tim knows he had a twin but cloning seems more likely to him #all my prompts are free to use #my asks are open

I'm in the middle of playing BN2 and recently finished the Netopia section (also boy howdy it was a wild ride I could not stop hollering). These are broken-up pieces of the conversation-- by memory-- where Lan and Hub make up from their previous argument.

I was mainly paying attention to Hub's attitude during this. Especially with the line where he feels it was fair for him to get jumped after Lan left him alone, I couldn't help but just go awwww (sad).

#also pls ignore the inverse PET I picked the perspective already and didn't bother to use ~any~ references for these #my head was hurting from other things while doing this and I just wanted to draw #for the record I don't know the smaller details of bn2's story prior to playing it myself (so I'm playing it slightly-blind) #I knew the events at netopia were gonna be wild but I was still surprised with everything (I had a great time with it) #that said. oh my gosh. you poor babis. pleeeease bring your parents with you next time.

Physically I'm here but mentally I'm clawing the eyes out of everyone who talks crap about their children on the internet and posts them in their most vulnerable moments for clout

#i just saw a video of a like eleven or twelve year old girl approach her mom's car when she got home from work and without even saying hello #to her kid she yelled at her to go inside so she could talk to her husband first and then shouted at the kid when she said her dad put her #through hell that day. is she probably overreacting bc shes a kid and she doesnt have get emotional regulation yet? absolutely. but also? #as the kid who knew that if i didnt get to my mom with my side of things first that my dad would twist things to make himself look like the #victim in a situation i promise you that baby girl isnt feeling heard and that would be sucky but normal on its own. the type of thing #families work through together yknow? but to post that on the internet??? to be recording when you come home knoeing there are problems in #your house and wanting to put online forever a moment in time where there are really strained relationships among members of your family?? #especially when it's the relationship btwn your husband and your child??? nope. im sorry. uh uh. #that kid deserves better than that. your husband deserves better than that. everyone deserves better than to have their really vulnerable #moments shared on the internet with strangers #like. i think about how i felt as a kid when i found out my parents had told a relative something i considered private. how embarrassed and #betrayed i felt. the thought that EVERYONE would see that instead of just my dad's relatives or w/e? #bby girl im incandescent with rage #anyway #lilac rambles

a lil speedpaint for the winter solstice :) time: ~1 hr 20 mins

#furry #furry art #artists on tumblr #digital art #original #i had the idea to make csp record the process but i FORGORRRR 😭 #but im having a lot of fun w textures hehe #still need to find more wacky brushes bcus rn im limited to like. 4 #BUT winter holidays soon!! ill b visitin my parents so thisll probably b the last digital art until i get back :) #hope yall will have nice holidays and a happy new year!

[ink-the-artist]

it would be cool to possibly see a time lapse of one of yr colored pencil pieces eventually(?) ! i am very curious about the process !

I'd love to eventually do that ive been wanting to for a while, its just more difficult with traditional bc i have to be at one spot, not move the sketchbook around too much, and just generally have the camera setup occupy part of my brain the entire time in a way i wouldnt with digital. i do have a post showing the process of a piece with photos

#had the idea for a while to upload vids like this to a youtube channel #and esp to do sort of an asmr thing with it #like posting both a speedpaint vid #and a normal speed one where all the drawing noises are recorded #bc ik a lot of people find vids of people drawing relaxing #but that would be even more work since id also have to worry about the audio the whole time #if i ever do this kind of channel it would prob have to be when i move out bc my family is sofucking loud #youd be watching the vid and randomly hear my parents say something racist in russian

My pettiest of pet peeves is when people portray the Finweans as children in Aman playing with toy swords, which (a) had not been invented yet and (b) were things to be hidden once they were invented.

It's just a pet peeve and I know it's unimportant at the end of the day, but you know what I just realized while being peeved about it?

The sheer potential for the Exiles to be profoundly disturbed to witness the first generation of Noldor to have toy swords

#for the record i headcanon they had toy bows rather than toy swords in aman #and yes beleriand elflings probably did have toy swords - which is probably how the noldor babies pick it up #'my friend has a toy sword and my parents have swords I WANT A SWORD'

"The newly widowed Elizabeth (Woodville) was exceptionally vulnerable. Several of the trustees responsible for her jointure refused to hand over the manors that were meant to sustain her in her widowhood. Moreover, her brother-in-law, Edward Grey, had seized estates that her son Thomas should have inherited from his paternal grandfather, while her mother-in-law’s new young husband, Sir John Bourchier, had prevailed on Lady Ferrers to settle her principal properties on them jointly for life, ensuring that Thomas would have to wait far longer for this inheritance too. Rivers and Scales were pardoned in July 1461 and swiftly moved into the Yorkist establishment, which perhaps explains the success of the chancery suits Elizabeth launched to regain her jointure. Her son’s inheritance proved harder to recover. By 1463, Rivers was often in (Edward IV's) company and on his council, but Elizabeth needed someone with much stronger influence over the King. She turned to a distant kinsman, William, Lord Hastings, the King’s chamberlain. Hastings drove a very hard bargain for his aid but it was probably amid these negotiations that the King’s desire for Elizabeth was kindled."

-J.L. Laynesmith, "Elizabeth Woodville: the Knight's Widow", "Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, and Dynasty"

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #Elizabeth really had terrible in-laws #And these people weren't even the worst of them - that particular award goes to Richard of Gloucester #As complicated as her first widowhood sounds it was a breeze compared to the literal nightmare she went through during her second. #Honestly though: part me wonders what Elizabeth's first marriage was like because we know absolutely nothing about it. #The marriage itself is a blank slate but the fact that her husband's parents & siblings were so indifferent and uncooperative #to her - and their own kid-grandchildren?? - after he died indicates that his family may have been rather dysfunctional imo? #Certainly they (or most of them) don't seem to have cared about the wellbeing or dignity of his young and newly widowed wife which #doesn't exactly suggest closeness or support during the marriage itself from their end. #Elizabeth doesn't mention John Gray in her deathbed will either though she mentions Edward IV. She may have thought it was #'inappropriate' to mention her first husband beside her significantly higher-ranked second husband...but she DOES mention her son by #her first marriage - which would have drawn attention to it anyway - alongside her royal daughter so that's unlikely to have been a reason. #Maybe it was simply the passage of time? She and John had been married for very few years and she lived such a different life after that #So it's possible that her first marriage simply seemed very distant and faraway to her. #Alternatively it may have simply been undivided affection for Edward IV (her husband of 19 years who she married for love) #which fits well into the relatively personal nature of her will. #Of course we don't actually know anything about any of this and this is all pure wild speculation on my end...but I'm curious. #It's really a shame how little we actually know about Elizabeth's life - made worse by the very limited primary records of Edward IV's #reign and the fact that his chamber records don't survive. And it's even more frustrating that this is so rarely actually acknowledged #by historians. I'd argue we know far more about the life & interests of most other 'prominent' women of the Wars of the Roses #(sans the Neville sisters) than we do about Elizabeth Woodville.

Folktale week 7: Found

This one is very loosely inspired by The Wild Swans, by Hans Christian Andersen (and also a call back to day 1: Lost, of course~)

#mydrawings #MyCharacters #AND THUS CONCLUDES #Folktale Week #HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT #this is my favourite illustration of the bunch so i'm glad we're ending on this note :D #you didn't think i would let that little fox have a bad ending did you #(this started as me wanting to draw some of my OCs in this style but. now i actually kinda want to develop these characters as their own) #anyway when i was a child i had a VHS of a 1962 Soviet animated movie adaptation of the Wild Swans #which?? not sure how this happened??? i'm guessing my parents must've recorded it from the TV once?? #i haven't seen it again in forever but it definitely left an impression #and in Andersen's fairy tale it's mentioned that the youngest brother who was turned into a swan doesn't fully turn back #one of his arms remains a wing

I’ll be honest, whenever I start enjoying a fictional lesbian couple I start to ask myself which of them seems more transgender that I can project trans headcanons onto. Usually it’s not that difficult, but for both Marcille x Falin and Sorawo x Toriko I’ve flip flopped multiple times

#for the record I’m now firmly on the trans toriko side. not only is she taller and relatably awkward but she had queer parents #who would’ve accepted her #meanwhile Sorawo is the most autistic person in fiction so I really relate to her #but I think she was too busy with the cult thing to change her gender #Or alternatively ‘running away from my family in a cult who wants to kidnap me and make me one of them’ does embody trans themes #see this is why I flip flop #as for the dungeon meshi duo. Marcille has pathetic girl swag but Falin has autistic girl swag #however I very much relate to Falin not being particularly feminine in her wardrobe and having broad shoulders #now if you read this far you might be thinking: why not both? and you’re right #i mean I’m already projecting my gender into fictional characters why not go wild with it #and again you’re right I have no counter point

with respect to myself, this whole “i need to wait till i’m out of school to date,” “i need to wait till i’m more historically, politically, and culturally educated to date” is all bullshit. it’s the top surgery. that’s the holdup. they chop these tits off and i’m ready to go.

#for the record - i still think that those first two things are the WISEST course of action #but i’m just saying that i don’t think anyone could hold me back if the opportunity arises #because the top surgery thing is my real hangup #because that would be a LOT to go through with someone in a new relationship and i would rather Not #so it’s better to wait #and i have a feeling that MY confidence will increase a ton in the aftermath as well #i’ll FINALLY be able to dress how i want holy SHIT #no more needless layering and strategically shapeless flannels #thank GOD #and in the meantime i’ll just keep trying to learn as much as i can on the way there! #so that i’m as prepared as possible whenever the moment comes along #i’m really working on not being mean to myself about not knowing things #nobody comes into the world with this knowledge #and i was not given the resources growing up that encouraged me to learn these things #just because some people had parents or friends who introduced them to things when they were younger or grew up in cultural centers #doesn’t make them cooler or better than me #i am educating myself now and that is what is important #i enjoy learning and that is what is important #i WILL become my ideal self one day - i am getting better #i am not perfect - i am still fucking up a ton and insecure and stretching myself to the absolute limit #which is why it is probably NOT a good idea to date right now!!!!!! #but who knows… i’ll just go where the road takes me #and see how that works out

They grow up so fast

#💟 #Doodles #Art #Todd #Shmee #Scriabin #Baby Todd AU #Technically lol - just consider it an extension as such #I doodled these on my birthday and that is 100% of my reasoning behind being self-indulgent lol #I think I've gotten it out of my system now haha #Hhhhhh it's just nice to imagine him growing up in a loving household #Able to express himself and with an ''Aunt'' and ''Uncle'' who are boho and artists haha ♥ #Surrounded by people who support him #Able to call for a parent and not just for help ouq But yes also that! My heart #Honestly a lot of this was still thinking about ages and corresponding years lol #I wouldn't put his teen look at any older than 18 #Which if he still had his original birth year would put the ''current'' year at 2003 which ♥ #Which for the record would also be the case if he was born in 1994 and then aged up to 9 💕 #Did you expect sappy math today? Here it is! Lol #Other than that it was just doodling a teen Todd once and being like ''Oh he's still baby'' and running with it lol #Doing teen things like still having a favourite plush - now stitched with age #Far be it from me to pull a Velveteen Rabbit with Shmee but ugh I was just in a sappy mood okay fslkafd #Edgar making the first repairs and having to have Scriabin ground him from a panic attack when he's done until Todd can learn the craft #And then to silly things like growing out and dying his own hair - Scriabin has to keep up his Cool Dad cred by encouraging self-expression #As well as being a good dad in his own flavour ♥ He can be just as embarrassing as a dad! Embarrass your kid in public by being proud hehe #Family family 💕💖

you know, to their credit, my parents did not only give me “girl toys”

I had blocks, and games, and so so many art sets. I had plushies. I even had toy cars, though I never asked for those. I had a little toy cooking set where each piece was also a rudimentary instrument. I had Legos. I had a first-gen Razor scooter and sidewalk chalk and a Skip-It

but.

there is a video of me on my first Christmas, December 1993, at nine months old. my mother sets me down before an array of gender-neutral gifts so I can explore them on my own

and I crawl at top speed, no hesitation, for the only visible doll

nobody conditioned me to be this way. I just decided from infancy that Dolls Were The Best Thing Ever

#personal #my brother had a doll too for the record #he loved it #my parents for all their failings never tried to unnecessarily gender our toys #or even our nurseries- my sister's was yellow and my brother's was Classic Winnie The Pooh and mine was Beatrix Potter #they weren't really trying to be revolutionary- they just grew up in families that didn't see the point of aggressively gendering such thing #(despite being born in the 1950s) #but until I discovered books it was Dolls and Dolls Alone for me. and some plushies (which I played with like dolls) #then it was Books And Dolls #and Books And Dolls it remains!

the need to call my dad and hear his voice and ask how he's doing only to remember a second later that he's been dead for more than 2 years.

talk to me about how boring it is when grief and trauma hit your fav character and they start crying even if they're not the type.

(I'm not actually crying, but I'm sad, and the more i think about that, the closer i am to tears & i fucking get it. it's not as straightforward as some people imagine.)

#me after my parents' death #personal #I'm pretty sure i had a voice record somewhere on my old phone #the question is if i even should dig for it #or if it's gonna hit me like a train and I'll become dysfunctional for a while #and i really can't afford it today #grief
