Prompt 314

Danny has discovered something absolutely amazing. While he can’t cook for shit, he can? Actually bake? Really well? Must be those bonding sessions in Long Now with Clockwork making all those cookies and cakes and everything else.

But? This means he can A, actually make himself food, and B, has somehow befriended several more ghosts, including his rogues. Apparently he gave off bedraggled cat vibes when covered in flour. Or they just enjoyed the cupcakes he’d made to look like them in a sleep deprived ferver.

But hey, he even has a decent job while he’s in (online due to medical issues, officially) college at one of the local bakery-cafes. Which means he also gets free coffee, so that’s nice too. Just erm, he might’ve gotten in the habit of handing cookies or other baked goods to anyone trying to attack him.

Look, it’s how he befriended his rogues (Apparently Fright Knight, being the ghost of Autumn, enjoys pumpkin spice cookies, who knew?) and they even continue to visit too.

So really, it’s not his fault that there’s several goonion (honestly Sam will be pleased to learn they’ve got a union) members who are now constantly coming to the bakery. And- okay is that another undead person? Have a cupcake.

#DCxDP #DPxDC #Prompts #Danny giving Solomon Grundy a cupcake: Have a good day :)#Grundy: This small death is now Friend #Danny befriends a few talons via ecto-cookies #Jason who hasn’t even revealed himself to the bats yet visits the cafe from his goons insisting #Yes Danny makes lil cupcakes & cookies of vigilantes & rogues & whatever he sees that day #And he always has a batch of his ex-rogue’s favorites ready #He’s enjoying this not-vigilante and doin school thing it’s peaceful #He’s had enough engineering & is in business & health majors #Along with a bit of medical in the ghost zone #he’s too tired to worry about the criminals forming a mini cult around him #Danny is accidentally acting like an ecto filter via baking stuff

What do you mean I’m a bit late for Janus’ big day? Of course not, how could you say such a thing! I definitely didn’t forget all about it in my absence and only get reminded in the incorrect quotes video live chat; that’s not like me at all ;]

Anyways I decided to dress our sassy snake in some different outfits I think he’d like. He seems like the type to get all dolled up on his birthday and it goes with Thomas posting pics in outfits inspired by the sides on their appreciation days!

@thatsthat24

#sanders sides #janus sanders #ts janus #thomas sanders #sanders sides fanart #my hoard #I’ve returned!#the newest asides came out and I remembered how much I love it #so I’m hyperfixated again and I’ve not now peace since #it is nice to actually finish something again tho #I’ve been pretty busy working lately and now I’m starting to pack to move into my first apartment!#so not much time to really sit down and draw #and when I do have time I can’t get the motivation to actually draw anything #I want to get better about posting stuff on here #(even though it feels like I’m just dreaming into the void a lot)#even just silly little things or rough sketches I’ll never finish #I hope it’ll help me continue to draw and make things again #I forgot how nice it is #anyways if you’ve read this far thanks #have a cookie :] 🍪

This is sad but unfortunately I think this is just going to be the norm for the next few years as streaming services die a slow death.

HBO Max should in theory be able to make money from a show that was at one point the top new series in the US. At the time, David Jenkins said "This is what happens when a major media company invests in inclusive mainstream stories" (agree!) but unfortunately that major media company, like all streaming services, has a terrible business model that can't support that investment.

This is an interesting article about how streaming services are losing money and scrambling to make it back by trying to convince people to buy cheaper, ad-supported options or bundling with other streaming services. Unfortunately for them, I think that's like... all of the options? At some point they're just going to continue to lose money. Making shows is expensive and very few consumers are willing to pay more when they could just cancel and use a cheaper service (or, you know. 🏴‍☠️)

This is also a good article that was written after Shadow and Bone was cancelled by Netflix about whether it could be saved:

"The problem is that while saving shows used to be plausible, at times, the cost of Shadow and Bone combined with the fact that streaming services are really, really starting to cut back on spending means that this would be an extremely tough sell. WB Discovery’s Max is being lambasted for killing finished projects for tax breaks to chip into its massive debt. Disney Plus has done the same thing and has said they will cut back on things like expensive Marvel shows. Amazon Prime is mired in expensive creator deals going nowhere and throwing insane amounts of money at projects they are realizing are not panning out. Paramount Plus losing $500 million a year. NBC’s Peacock is losing $650 million a quarter."

TLDR; Streaming services have reached such a dire point financially that they have to cancel some of their most popular content (Marvel shows on Disney+???? These have seemingly been very successful; it's wild to read that they're "cutting back") in the desperate hope that a new season of something that's cheaper to make will get more attention.

What I gathered from these articles is that steaming services are dying a slow death and sadly, a lot of good shows are going to go with them.

#as a teacher i'm Very Familiar With Budget Cuts and listen #when they start doing stuff that doesn't even make logical sense you know it's bad #this is the point where they're pointing at chairs in the break room being like 'do we really need that'#streaming was a terrible business model in the first place #subscriber services are pyramid schemes no i will not elaborate #mine #our flag means death #ofmd #rip in peace #where else can i watch con o'neill tho #him saying 'ooh daddy' haunts my nightmares i want to watch all of his content

Letting Go

Fox stares at his feet.

When they’d arrived here, Rex had insisted, with a mischievous curl to his lips, that they removed their boots before stepping onto the beach. Fox had protested, loudly and at length. But Wolffe had knocked shoulders with him and told him to trust Rex’ika.

He did. Trust Rex. Just… None of the Corries had given up their armour yet. It still felt like they were on eggshells, waiting for this mirage of peace to be ripped from them. Even when Chancellor Organa had gently insisted on the Coruscant Guard taking leave off planet, Fox hadn’t actually believed that it was anything less than a mission, just neatly packaged with promises of reconciliation with his batchmates.

Fox stares down at his feet; the naked, bony truth of them. Heels cradled by damp sand, and toes lapped at by froth-tipped waves. He stares and thinks: Oh. I get it.

There’s excited voices all around him, but Fox feels removed from it all. There’s something… Intangible, in this moment. In the feel of bubbles moving between his toes. In the soft play of wind through his curls. Something that unfurls in his chest and flows into all the empty spaces Coruscant had dug into him.

Senator Amidala had offered boarding for the Guard on Naboo, and with the memory of her kindness spurring him on, Fox had accepted. It had taken time, planning and compromise, but the 212th had been positioned on Coruscant to take over their necessary tasks for the duration, and Cody had positioned himself as Acting Marshal Commander of the Guard.

Fox had been tired. He probably should have protested more, but Thorn had curled up with him on one of the evenings at the beginning of the planning, and whispered about everything they’d ever heard about Naboo.

And Fox… Fox didn’t really understand. Hadn’t really wanted anything in a long while.

But Thorn wanted. And Fox would give Thorn, after the years of suffering and standing solid beside Fox against the abuses of the Senate, pretty much anything they wanted.

So here they were. Here Fox was.

Staring at his feet.

Actually… He probably looks a little bit ridiculous, like this. In full armour, except for his boots, shin guards and bucket, with his body suit dragged halfway up his calves. The sun’s warm on the back of his neck, and the salt in the air is definitely playing slow havoc with the seals that hold his armour plates on.

He could just. Take it off.

There’s no one other than Vode on the beach. Senator Amidala had arranged that for them, so they could feel relaxed. There’s members of the 501st and 104th tentatively mixed in with the Guard, and it suddenly strikes him that the Guard are the only ones still wearing armour. The Vode of the other battalions are so strikingly, vividly different from them, in their casual clothes and relaxed postures.

Fox looks back at the horizon, and with a slow breath out that feels like it takes something with it, begins to remove the rest of his armour.

He starts with the guards on his forearms, disconnecting the latches that hold them snug against him with an air of calm he’s not entirely sure he’s felt in a long time. There’s nowhere to stack the pieces, no cleaning items on hand to polish them with, so he simply – drops them.

They fall in the tide washing over his toes with soft thumps and splashes, and he breathes.

He continues in this fashion, methodically removing pieces of armour and letting them fall to the ground beside him. It’s strange: the plastoid armour is lighter than one first expects, designed for long use and wear and trimmed as much as possible to keep costs down. But it feels like each piece takes something unbearably heavy with it. They clatter against each other when they drop, but he doesn’t flinch at the harsh noise, doesn’t feel that flash of panic that a natborn might have heard.

He watches the horizon. And listens to the hush all around him. There’s the sound of rolling waves, a low roar that sinks into his bones. Some form of indigenous bird calls as it hovers on thermals, drifting through the open sky.

It’s… Peaceful.

He finishes with his chest plate, and starts to reach back to remove the armour pieces still attached to his back, when a pair of hands softly catch his. He starts, and glances back to find Thorn behind him, something open and peaceful on their face.

It’s then that he realises all the other Vode have gone silent. They’re all stood, watching him as he sheds the pieces of his duty.

Fox looks back, and sees tears and relief and pride and fear and thinks.

I get it.

He turns back to watch the horizon, and Thorn removes the last of his armour.

There’s the sound of latches disconnecting, and plastoid hitting plastoid for a few minutes, and then Fox feels Thorn step up beside him. They’re clad in just their bodysuit, like him, legs rolled up as they look down in wonder at the water that now flows over the tops of their feet. Thorn’s pulled their hair out of the braids they kept it in, and it tangles around their face in a halo of shining blonde under the sun.

Stone’s next, and as he steps up to Fox’s other side, he reaches a hand out to Fox. Fox takes it, and looks over to find Stone staring out at the sea before them, face wet. Stone visibly swallows, and turns to Fox with a smile Fox has never seen him wear before. He’s gone one step further than Fox, undone the clasps on his bodysuit so the neck hangs open, exposing the shadows of ink creeping over his collar bones.

Thire’s last, joining them on Thorn’s other side. Thorn flings an arm around the ever-so-slightly shorter man’s shoulders, and Thire rolls his eyes before leaning to sling his own arm around Thorn’s waist. The younger clone sighs deeply, and sags against Thorn, who tucks him carefully into their side.

Fox reaches out his own hand to take Thorns, and they all share a gaze before looking back to the horizon.

The War ended several months ago, but finally, on this beach, with the people he loves around him, the cool sea at his ankles, and the chill of the breeze reaching his skin where plastoid always covered it, Fox believes it.

#I started this thinking I was going to write hijinks #Instead #The Corries needed something peaceful #I hope they got it #Rex has absolutely taken a holo of them all stood there #And Wolffe cried #But Rex was too busy trying not to cry to notice #commander fox #marshal commander fox #commander thorn #commander stone #commander thire #Coruscant Guard #star wars: the clone wars #My fanfiction #healing #Corries

this cover feels otherworldly, it’s so real and warm and comforting like a promise. it’s them. it feels like something Hori has been wanting to draw for a long time :’) LOOK HOW FAR THEY’VE COME and we’ve gotten all of this even before their proper reunion I don’t think I’m prepared for how earth-shattering it’ll be

#hori’s comment for it is: ‘all might just praised them’#THIS IS IS SO FULL CIRCLE #‘win to save save to win’ core #they’re holding hands to Me #this cover is gonna burn a hole in my screen ILL NEVER STOP LOOKING AT IT #it says ‘izuku and kacchan’ as if that’s not the most fitting thing I’ve ever seen in my LIFE #the peace radiating from this.. LOOK HOW CONTENT THEY ARE #the cherry blossoms just seal this in as one of the most bkdk things to ever bkdk #KATSUKI’S WEARING HIS TIE WHICH HAS ALWAYS MEANT ‘SERIOUS DEKU BUSINESS’ DGJKHSGDH #I DON’T KNOW HOW ELSE TO ARTICULATE SO I’LL JUST SCREAM #bkdk #dkbk #bakudeku #dekubaku

Previous // Next

[Brodie flicked through the mail, instantly recognising the scrawling handwriting of a certain redheaded little boy. Scaring a few birds in the process, he bellowed up the stairs: ALEEEEX!] Alex: [breathless] Is it for me?! Brodie: Nah, but I could do with some help carrying this super heavy envelope upstairs. Alex: Who do you think you are, Johnny Zest? Brodie: I’m better than that guy, c’mon…

… Hi Alex! Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply to you, I promise I didn’t forget! I guess I just didn’t really know what to say cos I’ve sorta not felt like myself recently. My mom says I disappear into my own world sometimes so I sorta did that again and found it hard to think of anything fun to say. I don’t think I’d mind if you wrote to me about the less fun parts of your life though n’ my dad says you shouldn’t really keep everything to yourself all the time cos it ends up hurting so I thought I’d write anyway n’ just force myself not to worry about being boring or whatever. Your letters and your life always sound so exciting compared to mine though so sometimes it’s hard not to!!

I got in a fight at school which sounds like it should be an exciting story, but it wasn’t really. There’s this kid called Levi in my class that always picks on me (don’t worry though, I don’t care about that) and I couldn’t be bothered listening to him anymore so I hit him a couple times, I thought he’d hit me back but he just freaked out so I sorta felt bad about it afterward. He still makes fun of me but he doesn’t get up in my face as much so that’s a plus. Who says violence doesn’t solve anything? Hahaha I’m kidding! It wasn’t nice of me but maybe he should know better than to push people around so much.

I’m looking forward to summer so I can wander off a bit more and maybe it won’t rain so much! My mom doesn’t really like it when I go too far but as long as I’m back before curfew she tries not to freak out about it which is nice of her cos she knows I like to explore n’ stuff. I shouldn’t complain about my family cos I love them n’ stuff but I like being on my own sometimes and it’d be nice to have a bit of peace now n’ then. I’ve got SUPER good hearing so it’s hard to find anywhere quiet in my house, especially cos there’s always something crazy going on. My aunt Alma is sorta similar to me so she’s been helping me block out the noise with this meditation sorta thing, I guess it’s hard to explain but it’s not as lame as it sounds, it’s kinda fun to see how long you can stay in your own brain without people interrupting you. That probably sounds really weird but maybe you sorta get what I mean?

I finally have a treehouse now too!! It reminds me of your watchtower in some ways, but I guess it’s no way cooler than that, even though I know you’re bored of it by now. I wish we could hang out in it together cos it’s super awesome! Mom n’ dad don’t really bother me when I’m up there n’ my brother n’ sisters can’t manage the ladder yet so it’s all mine! It’s right at the bottom of the garden and looks out over the whole Bay too! Mom said she might let me sleep in it once it gets a bit warmer! It’d be cool falling asleep to the sound of the waves.. I hope it doesn’t end up making me need to pee all night though haha!!

Wren’s been obsessed with watching me play on the computer recently and I keep tryna teach her how to play herself but her little fingers can’t really reach all the buttons on the keyboard too well and she gets stupid mad when she dies so she just makes me play instead. She’d kick me if I told anyone but she’s a bit scared of some of the monsters too lol!! Mom told me I shouldn’t let her watch those ones but they’re the only ones she WANTS to watch and she jumps all over me until I give in so idk what they expect me to do other than lock her in the pantry, but I got told off for that so I guess I shouldn’t do that again haha (Wren thought it was funny though so it’s all good!) It’s a shame you don’t have a computer in the tower otherwise we could play together! Jude n’ Jacob aren’t really into that sorta thing so I usually just play on my own. Do you have a computer back home??

Oh! I got another badge for my swimming lessons too! I’ve almost got em all now which is neat but I sorta wanna avoid getting the last ones cos anyone that gets them all or has good attendance n’ whatever get an award at the end of the school year. They save em all up to give out at some stupid last year disco thing they put on before summer for the last year kids n’ it’d be so cringe to get called out in front of everyone like that. Some people think it’s gonna be amazing like my friend Jude, but I’d rather not go at all. Mom n’ dad keep saying it’ll be fun n’ everyone else is excited about it too but how fun could something be if you’re technically at SCHOOL? Bleh! I know you said you hate it sometimes, but being homeschooled sounds awesome to me lol.

I keep tryna bug my parents to go camping again so we could maybe see each other but they won’t take me out of school for a holiday n’ dad’s too busy with some work project so I guess we’ll have to keep writing to each other instead! Maybe if I keep annoying them about it we can come back in the summer! I hope so anyway but I guess I don’t wanna piss em off TOO much just in case my plan backfires or something.

I still feel really bad about not writing sooner but my dad said better late than never so hopefully you’re not too upset with me! I’ll try my best to write faster next time so you don’t have to wait as long. I’m looking forward to hearing about everything you’ve been up to!! Love Robin c: ps. my dad’s friend finally helped me fix that old polaroid so I’ve sent you some random pictures I took to test it out! I’m still getting used to it but the next ones will be better, I swear!

… the treehouse! it even has cool lights on it!! the back of our house! it’s so big it’s hard to fit in a picture.. it sorta looks fancy but it’s not really n’ dad said it was cheap cos it was a shithole a rare Byrd! (grumpy too – dad tried to take his dummy off him lol) he’s not supposed to be on my bed… the Bay! Jude says I sound girly for saying it’s so pretty here but I don’t care I could take a million pictures of this place n’ never get bored (I’ll stop now though cos mom says these polaroid things aren’t cheap for this model.. oops lol!!)

Do you know what happens when you decide to stop worrying about what other people might think of you? You get to dance. You get to sing. You get to laugh loudly, paint, write, and create. You get to be yourself. And you know what? Some people won't like you, but it just won't bother you all that much.
