the managers' plotline: we need a safety pin to solve the mystery of how the opera ghost keeps stealing our money!

christine's plotline:

#gaston leroux is a comedic genius honestly like the fact that these things are happening simultaneously #that’s poetic cinema babey #(‘poetic cinema’ i whisper quietly as i read a novel originally published a century ago) #phantom of the opera #poto shitpost #poto #gaston leroux

Prompt 130

So. Danny, Ellie and Jazz are definitely Not on the run. They’re definitely not. They’re definitely not huddled up in an abandoned corner of Gotham being kept warm and guarded by Fright Knight, who has definitely not let his whole humanoid shape disappear into a more amorphous one of Fear and Shadow and Flame to keep everyone away. 

They’re definitely not alone now, their parents definitely aren’t dead now. They’re definitely not stitching up Danny or stabilizing Ellie. They’re not making a sling for Jazz’s broken arm and crying as the ghost of Autumn tries to soothe his ghostlings wards. 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #dad fright knight #the GIW took Ellie and the fenton family did a rescue mission #Maddie and Jack didn't make it #Tucker and Sam are still in Amity with Val to keep everything under control there #The teens are grieving #the fentons weren't the best parents but they Tried and they loved them #Everything was looking up! They'd accepted Danny and Ellie and then This happened #They might be teens for humans but for the Realms they're infants who just lost their parents #Clockwork can't adopt them thanks to being chained by the observants centuries ago #so Fright Knight is stepping up as their temporary guardian that might become permanent #Fright Knight is the Ancient of Autumn

whoever edited that bsd official art to make it look like chuuya is holding onto dazai’s arm will be put on trial for irrevocably changing my brain chemistry and making me so much worse

the original and the edit in question. this artwork really makes me crave a mid to late 19th century historical au where Chuuya is a swordsman struggling with changes to his job due to the meiji restoration and with Dazai as a detective/private investigator who hires Chuuya as his bodyguard when a seemingly harmless investigation turns dangerous. they kind of hate each other (as per usual) but Chuuya needs the job and Dazai, while he proclaims to dislike chuuya, is also very smitten with chuuya’s fighting style and temper (as per usual).

#also the person who edited that bsd dead apple official art to make it look like they are holding hands will be put in jail without a trial #the red ribbon tangled around their intertwined hands 😵‍💫 #<- does that person know the impact and damage that edit did to society? #oh yeah btw I’m not sure if the clothes fit mid - late 19th century but those decades make for a cool setting #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #bsd fanart #soukoku #skk #bsd dazai #chuuya nakahara #osamu dazai #bsd chuuya #my art #bsd #I need more skk historical aus :( if I had the time and a solid story idea (more than just the vibes) I would write this #although I feel like I wouldn’t be able to do that setting justice with my current knowledge about mid to late 19th century japan #I finished this one a month ago and just didn’t post it because there was stuff that I wasn’t happy with (finally managed to fix them lol)

being in the acd Sherlock Holmes fandom is so crazy like you know how people will read hundreds of fics about their otp falling in love in slightly different universes? We get to do that but with like,, canon tv shows and stuff

Henry ‘Chips’ Channon: The Diaries (Vol. 1), 1918-38, entry for 12th September 1923

—

Wednesday 12th September

We play golf all day and occasionally motor to North Berwick or Edinburgh. Lord Balfour and others come to luncheon. Lady Curzon ever the divine of hostesses has brough her milieu with her and this is a very sophisticated Scotch life. She leaves us sometimes to motor to Dalmeny to take tea with Lord Rosebery,¹ who she says is still seductive and gallant. When Irene Curzon arrived a few nights ago I dressed as an Oxford don and quite mystified her with sneezing and philosophical platitudes at dinner and abominable bridge after. She thought she had never met such a bore . . . .

Archibald Philip Primrose (1847-1929) succeeded his grandfather in 1868 as 5th Earl of Rosebery, was created Earl of Midlothian in 1911, and was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1894 to 1895.

i wonder sometimes what reigen was like in college

#mp100 #mp 100 #mob psycho 100 #reigen arataka #mob psycho fanart #fan art #art tag #digital art #reigen 'i had so many friends growing up definitely was not a loser' turning into flamboyant extrovert conman of the century. #when did it happen. i have to know. #bc i think it was sometime in college. #theres so much self discovery going on. #reigen 'you dont have to be gay to know that naruto and sasuke were gay thats just facts its just having eyes' #later: 'ok i have something to say but this doesnt change my statement on naruto and sasuke' #sasunaru #narusasu #idk #naruto #i definitely didnt draw this while having a crisis 3 weeks ago. im normal.

so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

you say machete has to be closeted then why's he always wearing them little heels

Maybe he thinks he's a tiny bit nicer looking in them.

#no in fact he's just a little ahead of the curve let me try to explain #again I'm not a historian I'm just sharing what I've read I might be misremembering stuff so don't quote me on this #high heels became extremely fashionable in the early 1600's probably just a few decades after Machete's time #and they were originally worn by men #because they were inspired by Persian riding boots #if your shoes had heels you'd have easier time keeping your feet in the stirrups (think of cowboy boots) #Europeans saw them thought they looked snazzy and they became wildly popular in noble circles fairly quickly #for some hundred years or so high heels were the epitome of class wealth power and status and they were essentially genderless #remember that concepts of masculinity and femininity are fluid and change over time #things that were seen as manly a few centuries ago may seem downright effeminate to a modern viewer #it's all matter of perspective neither is objectively more correct than the other #they started to separate into men's heels and women's heels around mid 1700's iirc but the changes weren't massive even then #and only truly went out of vogue when the French Revolution hit in 1789 #and people all across the continent were suddenly put off by everything that reminded them #of the frivolousness and extravagance of royalty and aristicracy #so in his canon timeline I don't think people are looking at him and going “hmmm that's pretty gay” #because heels hadn't become gendered yet #maybe he likes how they accentuate his already tiny paws and make his legs look even longer than they are #he's interested in fashion or at least likes to dress nicely in high quality garments #he tries very hard to look his best despite never really feeling comfortable in his skin #he was a real shrimp as a kid and even though he eventually grew up to be a beanpole he might still find the extra height appealing #no one's going to look down on him ever again #I admit the way I draw them is a lot more modern than the true historical style at the time but not outrageously so #artistic freedom and all that in the end I'm not aiming for 100% accuracy #modern au Machete has no excuses though he's just a little bit fruity #if the guy feels empowered by wearing little clip cloppers let him #answered #anonymous #Machete
