Parent's Day
Ghosts didn't have a father's or mother's day as such, but they did have a day where they combined both. A day to celebrate your guardians. Humans, Yetis, Amazons or Gods, it was a quiet day to thank them for your ghost adoption.
Dan and Ellie had spent a few years under the halfa's care but at the end of the day they considered him their guardian (although Dan did it reluctantly), so when they heard about Parent's Day they panicked.
They wanted to show Danny that they really appreciated him but a mug or coupons were not enough. In the end after some brainstorming they decided to give him the closest thing to a mug that was in the Realms: Constantine's complete soul.
John Contantine was a very annoying human, they knew this because they heard Danny complain about his paperwork many times. Apparently their father had 99% of his soul but couldn't do anything until he had 100%, and what better gift than to help him get rid of the paperwork? He hated paperwork! It was perfect!
With some help from Clockwork they traveled to DC's dimension, determined to take the last of the hellblazer's soul. Dan wondered if he should steal a star from the dimension while they were there (Danny liked space didn't he?), as an extra gift.
John Constantine was in the middle of explaining the holes in reality to the Justice League when a shiver ran through his body. He had an instant bad feeling.

the english names in death note aren't weird because the author doesn't know what english names sound like. the japanese names are also weird. the author didn't want to freak anyone out by accidentally writing someone's actual name in the notebook that murders people whose names are written in it. death note was published in jump, a magazine normally targeted to elementary and middle school children. it was a reasonable precaution born from a reasonable concern

you're on your own, kid, you always have been.
childe x gn! reader, soulmate au (flowers bloom on your skin where your soulmate got hurt, they fade away when your soulmate touches them). so like....... i was going through my files and realised i never posted this (i think. at least. its been like a year) so i edited it. enjoy 🥳
“your soulmate flowers-- they’re gone!”
the woman from the docks had pulled your arm towards her and awed, running her fingers over the nicks in your arm, “did you meet them?”
you were notorious for the laurestines that budded upon your arm, seeking to nestle themselves into every crook and cranny of your body. it was worse when you were younger, around 14 was when you first started choking on the white of laurestines, throat erupting in pain as you tried to suppress the bile, terrified at what was happening-- and worse, what was happening to your soulmate?
“i did.”
“what are they like?”
tartaglia-- or sweetheart, as he makes you call him. he clung to you like a drowning man, mouthing at your neck as gloved hands intertwined themselves with yours, the bundle of white dying at his lips and shrinking before turning into nothingness. he presses into you with a chuckle, breathing you in as his hand finds the laurestine that matches the bruise he had gotten in sparring against the traveller, his fingers tracing love hearts around the bud before he strokes his thumb over the flower, finger pressing flat against your skin in a soft smother, idyllic murmurs trailing out of his mouth as he sighs and rubs his cheek against your shoulder.
“he’s… something.”
you had grabbed him by the arm, and with a smile on his face the idea of the perfect soulmate turns to pull you in closer. the snezhnayan breeze cards through his hair. he’s perfect, a reflection of the ideal, tall, handsome, impossibly rich-- not to mention just the right balance of loving & protective. his fingers always found earnestly drawing daisies into your skin and the constant seeking to intertwine his pinkie with yours. his love, delivered & tied so neatly as the bow that adorned the box that accompanied the letter he sent from liyue-- frivolous fancies and trivial dreams spouted across paper in dark ink that had the same highs and rolls as him, with straight lines and stabbed dots.
but under all that is the boy who found himself in the abyss, the one who made you cough up flowers and leave you stroking at your throat and humming pains out years later. the one who does not know the difference between the red on his hands-- whether it is his or someone else’s. but when he sees the red on your hands, and that glassy look you watch him with, he does nothing but kneel at your feet, mumble quiet apologies as he traces the bud, flower not even truly open and in full glory as it dies, silent in its short uneventful life.
“what’s wrong?” he had asked, once, pulling his gloves on as the two of you stand by the door of your house. the world howls outside.
but you can only shake your head, words suddenly stuck in your throat, unable to be coughed out.
“be safe,” is the only thing that slips out, croaked under the veil of moonlight across the cold.
in these plains of broken towers, beyond the cold of the mountains and snow of the loveless land, you found sparking familiarity cradled between your hands and pulled out of your throat.
“its just a fatui meeting,” at your huff, he laughs, pressing a kiss to your forehead as if you were made of glass, his gloved knuckles running up and down your arm in a poor imitation at a will for warmth, “alright, i’ll be careful.”
and you let him go, all that is left of him.

Percy Jackson episode 4 thoughts:
(there are obviously spoilers ahead)
-the flashback with his mom T-T she's so panicked about percy knowing how to swim because she knows what's coming for him someday. i was not ready to get hit with feels this early in the episode
-'gotta earn it?' oh. oh percy. this girl willingly takes a knife for you in five years.
-the anger at the godssssss i'm loving how righteously pissed percy is at them already
-'who's froufy? YOU'RE FROUFY. what's froufy? i think i need to eat.' is- is this how i sound when i'm tired bc this is how i feel when i'm tired
-evil chimera lady's moon hair clip is pretty and i want one
-i'm loving how the show is really playing up the theme of monsters aren't always monsters and good people are sometimes bad and bad people are sometimes good. the mother of all monsters looks like a really nice lady and seems so invested in the chimera and helping her grow and learn to hunt and she sees the demigods as monsters, people she needs to defend against and stop. in the last episode, it was medusa and how she was a victim, not a monster, and yet she was still willing to kill and that's what made her a monster. 'monster' isn't something you're born as, it's something you become through YOUR OWN CHOICES.
-oooooh that shot of the arch in the puddle gave me literal chills for some reason
-'and it's earthquake proof, so posiedon can't ruin it.' '... nice'
-percabeth scenes >>>>
-the percabeth is percabething and i adore it. like 'oh i never ask for help' 'percy's dying' 'MOM HELP' girl is willing to do anything to save him already :')
-i literally gasped when he did the sword switcheroo PERCY WHY
-THAT CLIFFHANGER. illegal i tell you i was so mad i want another episode immediately.
-WE GET TO SEE ARES NEXT EPISODE ALKJDGHAV
