DPXDC Green Lantern's Headache

Out in the great expanse of space, the Lantern Corp are fairly common to see resolving conflicts and such, so when a glowing green humanoid started going around helping people most just assumed he was one of them.

So as word reaches OA of an unaccounted for member of their ranks managing a sector of space that no one had been assigned to, shit got weird. A pair of human lanterns were sent to make contact and determine whether this was a real lantern, and if he was friendly.

But instead of the typical greeting or attack, they don't find anything. There is absolutely no sign of a lantern in the area, the locals are unwilling to talk to them and there's no glowing space hero like in the reports.

The longer they stay in this sector though, the worse their luck seems to get. They begin losing their belongings only to find them propped up somewhere unusual. Everywhere they step seems to be on something unusually sharp, and no matter how close to the sun they fly they find themselves unnaturally cold.

Meanwhile Danny's just trying his hardest to get the space cops out of his territory. He doesn't need these willpower weirdos fucking up the only good thing he's built for himself.

"I am going to unalive them," says Merricat. "I am going to put unaliveness in all their food and watch them become unalive."

Dear tumblrverse: if I am going to haunt these halls again I need the Youths to stop clogging the “young wizards” tag with fanfic about That TERF’s characters and return it to its rightful owners (neurodivergent adults who have cried over a spaceship at least once)

We're like "Oooh, the kids these days don't even try to figure things out for themselves!!" and like, yeah, that's true. And it's also annoying. I agree with all of the above tbh. Buuuut I think I would be too scared of fucking up to try anything if I was used to living under constant, hostile surveillance, too.

Look, I work with a bunch of 40-something year olds and they have young kids, and teenaged kids, and occasionally even young adult kids, and most of them monitor these people via devices and spyware, constantly, fretting about their safety and development and if they're doing what they should and if they're being appropriate with their friends and if they're up to something scary online, or in the right place offline. They get emails from teachers all the time, sometimes multiple times a day. They have apps to monitor classroom performance and apps to track smartphone behaviour and apps to locate their kids via GPS. They'll be like, "What's she doing on her phone? Should she be having this inappropriate conversation with her school friend via WhatsApp?" From the office they ask: "Did the smart lock on our front door open to the right phone at the right time for her to be getting home from school? Was she later than I expected?"

And... Like, IDK, mate, should you be reading your fifteen year old's texts while she makes a truly valiant effort to develop her social skills in the fucking panopticon? Are you so worried that she's going to be killed or kidnapped that you really NEED to have her phone sending its GPS location to you? Or are you just bombarded with information about how threatening the world is, constantly, and scared that she's growing up in a world with no guarantees?

If kids don't get the opportunity to fuck up in peace, they don't learn how to solve problems on their own, safely or otherwise. And now we're living with a bunch of twenty year olds who can't be relied upon to figure shit out and act on their own because... they've never been permitted to figure shit out and act on their own before. They've never been trusted, and now not only do they not trust themselves, they're also... not necessarily very trustworthy.

And then we get frustrated. "The kids these days don't even try to figure things out for themselves!!" Yeah. I mean. Yeah?

I wish I had a way to explain to these people that, you know, if you don't change direction, you will always end up where you're headed.

Do you have any idea how often parents get contacted about their kids' school lives now? #It's absolutely fucking insane #The level of detail and communication that people think is normal between parents and teachers now is OFF THE CHARTS

Today is the Monday-est Monday I've had in a while and it's 1:52pm and I've only just started getting through my stuff at work

But there's a girl on Tik Tok advocating for leaving critical reviews on fanfiction and you know how I feel about that and now all I wanna do is fight with her about it instead of actually being an adult and doing my job

Let this be your yearly reminder: if you leave critical reviews, you're an asshole of the HIGHEST order and actively trying to kill your fandom, I hope you never find a good fanfiction to read ever again

#fanfiction #fandom #fandom etiquette #she just had to hit on one of my hyperfixation arguments didn't she #kids these days have no respect #get off my lawn

I know for a fact that there are tons of nice and decent people on Twitter just having a good time, but also that being said I thought y’all were exaggerating when you said the culture on Twitter is kind of a toxic sludge-fest and we needed to shoot some cringe in the air to keep them from swamping Tumblr.

But like, the chili-discourse going around on Twitter is so bad, guys. The internet poisoning has mostly left Tumblr--or at least become a milder form-- and seems to have congealed on Twitter into some kind of rotten hair-and-gunk ball clogging their drain. I don’t want that in my house, I don’t want that in our drains; please keep posting Supernatural Gifs.

Anyway, if my neighbor tried to give me chili I would cry in gratitude. If there were a thoughtful woman giving me free food I would burst into hearts like this is the Sims. Tumblr must remain a pro giving-neighbors-chili environment.

You know, on the face of it, DMMd is patently ridiculous. You have this vague near-future semi-dystopian cyberpunk-ish setting on an island of Japan where an enormous themepark has been built to take over half the place, it’s gaudy and caters to only the richest clientele while the rest of the island has been forced into poverty because of it. Everyone wears weird colorful outfits and has a Theme. Half the kids are into gang warfare and the other half play online battles in their heads. Everyone has cute robot animal assistants and uses the equivalent of apple watches to communicate, only they can be customized to look like anything and also project holograms. It doesn’t really make sense and it doesn’t hold up to a lot of external scrutiny, but you know what? It’s pretty and colorful and the story is interesting enough that after a while you stop questioning. I think this is why I love it. It doesn’t have to make sense.
