#I thought of this while eating dinner

[hailsatanacab]

A Persuasive Argument - dpxdc

"Great!" Danny says, clapping his hands together to get everyone's attention. The dinner table falls silent as everyone looks towards him. It's a full house today and, honestly, Danny's a little nervous. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I gathered you here today."

"It's dinnertime. In our house." Duke mutters, while doing a very bad job of concealing his yawn. He holds his fork poised over the braised beef, but, just like everyone else, still looks towards Danny before tucking in. It's intriguing enough to wait.

"Yeah, no one misses Alfie's dinner." Dick says, with a brilliant smile that Danny can't help but return.

"Precisely! What better time to talk to you all than when you're all actually here!"

"Wait, I thought you came round to work on our English essays?" Tim asks, blinking owlishly.

"I'm afraid I've lured you here under false pretences, Tim."

"This is where I live."

"I would still really appreciate help on that essay though, I mean, what the hell is Hamlet even about? I just don't get that old time-y language, like 'Hark! A ghost hath killed me!' - absolute rubbish, what does that even mean?"

"The ghost never kills anyone in Hamlet, he's there to tell Hamlet that he was murdered. Have you actually read it?"

"No, but it sounds like you have. Tim, I want this guy to help me with my essay instead. I know for a fact that you haven't read Hamlet, either."

"So? We don't need Jason, I've read the Sparknotes."

"Hi Jason, I'm Danny, pleasure to meet you, summarise Hamlet in three sentences or less."

"Am I auditioning to help you write your essays? I can't believe you’ve gone through your whole school life without reading it, it’s good!"

"Hamlet, along with a number of other classics, was banned in our house because it portrayed ghosts as intelligent and sympathetic beings rather than evil, animalistic beasts. I didn’t even get to see The Muppet's Christmas Carol until last year with Tim! It was surprisingly good, and I hate Christmas because everyone always argued and it sucked. But we're getting off topic. I—"

"No, no, please go back to that, because what the fu—"

"Boys, please." Bruce interrupts, looking to the world as if he wants to hang his head in his hands. "Danny, you were about to say something?"

"Oh, yeah, Mr. Wayne! Thanks!"

"Please, call me Bruce."

"Well, that very succinctly brings me to my point, because I'd actually really like to call you dad."

Nobody says a word. Nobody even blinks, all as shocked as the other, watching open-mouthed as Danny pulls his laptop out from beside his chair. Bruce can definitely feel a headache coming on.

"Before you say anything, I've prepared a 69 slide PowerPoint presentation on why you, Bruce Wayne, should adopt me, Danny Last-Name-Pending. Please save your questions, comments, and verdict until the end, thank you."

#dpxdc #batpham #i forget - can we tag the parent fandoms? w/e #immediately alfred's like: while i do appreciate your initiative may i suggest it wait until after dinner? #and danny - who has barely eaten proper homecooked food ever - takes one bite and then absolutely wolfs down the whole lot #after he's finished he's like 'bear with - I've got to add that to the 'Reasons I Would Like to Live Here' section' #danny's powerpoint has tailored sections for each batfam member with lists of reasons why they'd get along #my au thoughts on this is that the fentons disowned danny when he told them he was phantom #and that this is after the ultimate enemy - wherein which he allied himself with the JL to fight against dan #(which didnt really work at all - BUT he knows some of their identities now INCLUDING batman's) #so one of the main reasons why he'd be a great fit is that he knows their vigilante status anyway so they don’t need to worry about secrets #dick just turns to tim like 'he’s your friend. he learnt this from you.' #tim: 'i didn't tell him our identities!! i would never!!' #dick: 'no i know that. it's the stalker tendancies. it's baby tim all over again' #tim: scandalised gasp #they all eat dinner in silence just super subdued and in shock and sending glances to bruce and danny #duke like: 'so i know I'm the last one in the family but like... this isn't how it normally happens right? did any of you make powerpoints? #tim gets all shifty because he absolutely did make a powerpoint he just never actually showed it to anyone #everyone stares at tim because they all know. it was in one of bab's blackmail files she has on him #damian's slide has danny offering to throw down at any time. 'tim says you like to prove yourself with your skills? #how about a real challenge? if i beat you then you have to vote yes to adopting me!' #damian is in two minds about accepting because... 1) look at him damian could take danny in his sleep! but #2) on the off chance that he does win... damian does not want any more brothers #(he takes the bet and its a suprisingly fun fight - and while he'll never say this... he would vote yes even without the wager) #on one of danny's slides there's a picture of ellie: you'll also get my clone sister! two children for the price of one!! #uhhh.... thats it now - I've been having fun with this haha #spent all day with the 'ive lured you here under false pretences' 'danny i live here' line in my head haha #anyway enjoy!!!!!! this was fun #i wanna make these slides so bad

i think a really big reason the lightfury design is so weird is because it adheres to human beauty standards

the other dragon designs are beautiful in the sense of a moth with cool wings, a cat with a long coat or a deer in a forest clearing

the lightfury is meant to be pretty in the ways a human is pretty which when compared to all the other dragons, makes her look really really awkward

#just a thought #all i could think about while eating dinner ngl #httyd #thw salt #lightfury

if demons was popular in america do you think people would completely miss the point of his character & call him a sigma male

#this horrid thought came to me while eating dinner help me #i am the number 1 sigma hater!! #literature #russian lit #fyodor dostoevsky #demons #the devils #the possessed #dostoevsky demons #nikolai stavrogin #nikolai vsevolodovich stavrogin #stavrogin

in connection to my other post abt clark's superhearing & bruce hijacking clark's day because of it..

it has the potential to be so soft too oUGH,,, bruce whispering into his hands after waking up, saying to clark (who is miles & miles away), "good morning, clark. i slept for 8 hours, just like you asked."

clark can hear him smile when he says it

bruce narrating his day just for him & clark. "the shareholders meeting was rough. one of the chairmen had this ugly tie, clark, you wouldn't believe it. it was floral with bits of yellow & orange. if alfred saw it, he would've had a fit"

clark is grinning to himself while writing his report on climate change & oil spills. lois rolls her eyes

or bruce only needing to talk to the echo of his office instead of picking up his phone & texting because he's lazy asking & whispering to no one about busy schedules & dimpled smiles

#superbat #my dolores madrigalification of clark kent #look. his superhearing is really important to me #i have so many thoughts abt this jhjdbfjdjf #clark getting ready to sleep in their shared bedroom while bruce is on patrol & then hearing his stomach rumbling bc bruce didnt eat dinner #(clark prepares something for him & they eat together on a rooftop dw) #blub.

Darkiplier has the same problem the fandom has: he sees every Mark as WKM!Mark. As the actor, the asshole, the worst version of himself. “Same snake, different skin”. But he’s wrong (or lying).

He’ll seemingly hunt down every version of Mark - except, for whatever reason, Engineer - even if they’re innocent.

That’s what makes him the villain. That obsession with Mark.

That’s the worst part of us that Dark held on to when the rest of us was left behind.

"You made Darkiplier. So, in a weird way, you are Darkiplier."

#markiplier #darkiplier #in space with markiplier #iswm #had this thought while pausing the stream to eat dinner and had to post it before we get to the post credits scene #can't believe mark said that dark quote at the end as i was typing this

thinking about the fact that the only time I felt like season 3 robin came back during season 4 was in this moment:

and it was when she was alone with eddie, someone she hasn't known for very long and can honestly hardly even consider her friend, just like steve at the start of season 3.

BUT when she's alone with nancy for the first time she acts around her exactly as she does around steve in season 4, when they're already been best friends for months and she feels like she can be herself around him, that means she feels like that around nancy too.

in this essay I will-

#like hear me out- #MAYBE I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THAT AND I'M JUST EMBARASSING MYSELF BUT #I was just casually losing my mind over this while I was eating dinner #anyway ronance canon trust /hj #stranger things #robin buckley #ronance #nancy wheeler

did me and @gaylatteart just plot out all of part three of prof geto?

…maybe

#sab speaks #sab series [prof suguru] #you guys can thank hannah #while I was eating dinner #they were thinking thoughts #this will be the last main story part #and then there will be little spin off stories

New fic idea: 5 times Wilson or House drugged each other with zolpidem, inducing sleepwalking shenanigans, and 1 time they accidentally drugged each other with z at the same time and got a rare (and originally intended) peaceful night of sleep.

#house md #this post brought to you by a hilarious insta post about people’s insane stories of z #plus the first time i took it and almost passed out in the bathroom while brushing my teeth #i can believe wilson would try to get house to finally sleep by slipping him z #and house has probably given it to him before anyways but if wilson strips to his underwear while drunk i can believe he’d groggily declare #to the whole hospital how he wants to eat house’s ass for dinner while on z #grey thoughts

idk i feel like we’ve already talked about this (we did!! it’s here!! by the lovely @mac-lilly) but a sweet home alabama-ish juke au. yknow. childhood friends to lovers to strangers to enemies to lovers again

mostly for this scene:

“nice dress,” he shouts over the rain and the sound of waves crashing against the shore. “where’s your husband?” he barely throws a glance at her, his eyes quickly averting back to his task at hand — burying the rods deeper i to the sand.

julie is drenched from head to toe, her wedding dress ruined, her hair a nightmare — her make up is probably leaking all over her face, and her feet are aching. but as she gets ready to give him her answer, she can’t help but smile — a genuine one.

“i’m looking at him,” she says simply.

luke stops moving, his back to her as his arms hang on either side of the metal rod he was now gripping with a little more force than necessary.

for a moment neither of them say anything, with only the sound of nature roaring around them.

it represented them well — the pouring rain, the crashing waves; the thunderous clouds and blinding lightning: it was a lot, all-encompassing and overwhelming.

their love was a force of nature, and they both knew it.

luke slowly turns around, hands dropping to his sides.

“what are you talking about?” his eyes scan the darkened area behind her, trying to spot the blond head he knows will inevitably pop up. “where’s nick?” he finally asks when he fails to see him.

“he’s not here, luke,” she says, taking a step towards him. luke’s eyes are back on her, as he watches her warily. what was she up to? torturing him until the last minute?

“he left for new york an hour ago.”

just hearing the name of the city that had become julie’s new home reminds luke why he had tried so hard to guard his heart.

he nods brusquely at julie, walking past her as he shouts over his shoulder.

“you should hurry and catch up to him — wouldn’t want to miss your wedding night.” he grimaces as the words leave his mouth, instantly regretting it.

he sounded petty. and he also definitely didn’t want to picture julie on her wedding night with someone…..that wasn’t him.

luke stops to pick up his equipment off the ground, shaking his head as he digs around in the sand to make sure he doesn’t leave anything behind.

“i’m not joining him.”

luke stops moving, his fingers freezing mid-search as her words slowly sink in.

she couldn’t-

she didn’t-

“we didn’t get married, luke.”

her words hit him like a bag of bricks, dropping everything he had picked up as he slowly straightens up, his back still to her.

he takes in a deep breath- and another, eyes closed and fists clenched as he tries to squash down the hope that stubbornly started rising up in his chest.

“why not?”

“apparently,” she starts, her voice slowly getting closer. “…we’re still married.”

luke’s eyes snap open at her statement, swirling around to find her standing only a few feet away.

“still married? but i signed the papers, just like you asked me to.”

“yeah well turns out…i kinda forgot to.” she shrugs, shoulders moving up and down as a small smile makes its way on her face.

“forgot?” he asks incredulously. “forgot?”

luke groans as he rakes his fingers through his hair, letting out a humourless laugh.

“julie,” he says, eyes on hers. “what do you want?”

“you,” she answers simply. “you were my first kiss,” she continues, taking a step closer. “and i want you to be the last.”

that throws him off for a second, recalling a time when they were kids and julie had told him the exact same thing.

they were older now- things were different…right?

luke just shakes his head to clear it, and asks again.

“no i mean- what do you want to be married to me for anyway? wasn’t nick what you were always looking for?”

julie shakes her head as her smile turns blinding, taking a step towards him, and then another, until she was crowding him, standing in his space.

“so i can kiss you whenever i want.”

she grabs his drench collar, and pulls, until he was only inches away.

“and no luke, it was always you.”

#technical word who lol #basically he’s prepping stuff to let the lightning make pretty glass with the sand #abyWAY #HAPPY JUKE JEUDI! #AGAIN #this is what happens when i watch snippets of movies while eating dinner #jatp #juke #julie and the phantoms #my fics #i guess #this was so rushed and i just cba but i wanted to convey how well the au could work with tweaks #like maybe julie went to new york cause she wanted to work enough to support jatp or sunset curve ? but luke felt he was only ever holding #her back #maybe he went up to new york a few times and just felt way too out of place compared to LA #but he never told her #and never called her back or replird to her messages #so julie just thought he was done with her and so stayed heartbroken in new york #and then blah blah blah stuff happen blah #anyway

In my head post sbr diego in my rewrite stops being a jockey due to lasting effects from his injuries during Love Train arc

But he starts working as a teacher, like in my head he starts working as a teacher or at least a substitute.

Like especially after traveling with Lucy and helping her out with her illiteracy and him focusing on working with kids for that specifically... Lucy and Steel working with their new Speedwagon foundation funding to support him...

It's real in my heaaaart

#maybe also HP teaching.. they both work there #Lucy visits the school often to visit them #smile #also Diego moving his love of horses to help with therapy horses for people... #just sammi thought while i eat dinner and watch drag queen cookin show lol

What are you and Coda’s fondest memories/experiences with each other? I’m curious if it is the same for the both of you :3

There are many. Meeting for the first time, second, him coming over when he needed help, living together are quite close but I think the one I hold most dearly is him asking me for a feedback on a game he was in the middle of making.

Coda's answer:

The week when I got to stay over. The first made together dinner.

Those were very amazing, too. We share way too many good memories to choose from.

#davey's thoughts #Coda's thoughts #Ask #Thatstarboi #I just heated then spaghetti I made the previous day. I decided also that since he came over - I'd make some dessert. #'Make' maybe is a bit too much - I just scooped some ice creams and put whipped cream on top. He liked it though. #For a while when we could eat together I kept making that for him. #He kept adding raisins. #At first I didn't since I liked how he put them in. #After a while - 9 raisins for a bowl it was. #For the dinner we made together - we failed miserably. Coda burnt by favourite pot. But it was okay. #I think we ordered pizza later.

#thought that what I wanted was to go back to my dorm after a long day of classes and studying and listen to AP music while I eat dinner #but I think what I actually want is someone to talk to 🙃 #I'm tired. wish there was someone here who knew me well enough that I could just lean on them #and not have to try so hard to be confident or happy or outgoing for a little while. #oh well. I'll listen to AP music anyway. and then maybe do some reading for one of my classes. #then I'll have been productive at least. #delete later

being an autistic person that takes everything literally can sometimes be so funny because for most of my childhood i thought an inside joke was a joke that you told indoors and i would get so confused when my cousins wouldnt explain what they were laughing about to me while we were inside a house. i also constantly wondered what an outside joke was

#i brought this up to my family while we were eating dinner last night #and my mom laughed so hard i didnt even think it was that funny but #now that im talking about it it makes me giggle HSBDHSG #ALSO I PROMISE. I KNOW WHAT AN INSIDE JOKE IS NOW BWAHDGHAGSA #anyway i wanted 2 share this i thought it was funny #does anyone else have any stories like this please share them with me #felix post #autism #autistic #sure ill tag it why not

Got called daddy in a comment on ao3 and I think it rewrote and reminded me of a thing I chose not to think about for a while lmao.

#very much so #I know they meant it in a joking way (and I responded as such) but like….. #your right I am daddy. come here and eat me out while I read the news paper baby. #I’ll pet through your hair and give you such amazing praise after I make you come one too many times #I’ll cook dinner and feed you little tastes while you hump my leg #(well…. maybe make up our plates cause I will not cook with you naked by my feet that’s how you get burned on the ass) #might be more dom then I thought oof #uhhh #spicy
