isn't it weird how if you get up at 7 or 8, do your work all day, then have free time and go to bed at 11 that's absolutely fine
but if i said i get up at 10, do fun stuff in the morning then work in the evening and go to bed late, i could be called lazy, nevermind that i'm getting just as much or MORE work done as i would in a traditional work day

Prompt 129
Danny, now an adult, has just moved to the city of Gotham. Actually he’s been an adult for a while, but every once in a while he has to end his life, at least legally, lest someone get suspicious. Usually whenever Dan or Ellie does an oopsie and pulls a firebird with being reborn through their core. 
So legally, one Danyal Nightingale, has just moved to Gotham to open a bakery (Thank you for the wonderful recipes and bonding Clockwork) while taking care of his practically newborn son Jordan. Of course Elnath- Ellie- had to pull a core retreat too, which is just his luck. 
It wouldn’t be a problem, but he’s trying to not be so broody. A ghost- even a half-ghost- carrying another core though, has instincts turned up to like, eleven. Which again, wouldn’t be much of a problem if not for someone falling into his dumpster late at night bleeding. A vigilante, which he’s sworn to stay away from that life years ago. And it’s not a lethal wound…
But his instincts are screaming to not let the person bleed all around his nest, and he knows from experience that it would continue to bother him. Which is how he ends up with Batman on his couch to Dan’s glee if the ghost chirps are to go by.

Wait, I was thinking back on that backstory we got on Legato in Trimax and for all the inhuman and dead right cruel things Knives does throughout the story, it never really clicked with me why Knives chose Legato as his right hand.
Legato never got a number in opposition to the other henchmen and was actually saved by knive himself when he was a kid. When I first read it, I took it at face value that it was for his power, that he was just useful.
But it just hit me how similar Legato and Knive actually are in terms of shared trauma. It's different sure, but at its core they both got broken to their core by the utter cruelty of the human race and felt completely betrayed by them. That specie was beyond redemption to them.
Knives, for all his big talks about not caring about any humans which he thought of as inferior pest that needed to be annihilated at all cost, his henchmen included, still saw himself in Legato and made him his second.
He put all his trust in him and made him fight his own brother, he trusted unto him his lifelong goal, breaking Vash from his ideals and Legato ended up (kinda but not really) succeeding to prove to knive he was worth, an equal of sorts.
In a way, Knives and Legato really parallel Vash and Wolfwood in a very very sick and twisted way.
Knives and Legato chose a path of complete destruction and pain and solitude BECAUSE of humanity's cruelty.
Vash and Wolfwood chose a path toward change, redemption and healing DESPITE the cruelty.
ON A SILLIER AND LESS ACCURATE NOTE, i think it was really funny of those space daffodils to call it even once they killed each others boyfriends.

okay weird q incoming but what ways do you think speedsters can get sick? Like to my understanding, they can’t really come down with normal virus’ like the flu, right? But they could get things like chronic migraines?
NANOBOTS!!! This is one of the best pieces of canon lore ever. I did a whole post on it but TLDR: normal human metabolisms have so much shit going on that they don't even notice nanobots in their body BUT speedsters have hyper accelerated metabolisms that are the equivalent of the straight A's overachiever in school on meth. So speedster metabolisms do notice nanobots and they attack full force, triggering all of the body's defenses and responses.
But the nanobots are metal so it obviously doesn't do anything. It just leaves the speedster lethargic, feverish, vomiting, dizzy, with a headache, sore muscles and a runny nose, ect. It's basically an allergic reaction.
Now, poisoning them can work depending on what the poison is/what the dosage is. You would need a 100% fatal poison and you would need a fairly high dose. Because speedsters heal fast and they have a hyper accelerated metabolism, so any poison that is based on toxicity (alcohol poisoning for example) would be out of their system faster than it could even take effect.
But poisons that can't be cleared out/processed by the body (take cyanide for example, it binds with the chemical receptors in your body making it physically impossible to use oxygen) wouldn't really be affected by their metabolism at all. So while the speedsters could heal the damaged tissues from these poisons fairly quickly (making it seem as though they were only slightly affected) they would ultimately need time to do so, time they would not have if it kills them first. This isn't technically what you are asking because there would be no substance that 'makes them sick', there would only be 'fine', 'not fine for like a minute and then fine again' and 'dead'. (... unless they were hooked up to a steady supply of the toxin)
Likewise, (this is getting more into theoretical territory, less canon) there might be some illnesses that would affect them? Not for long but if you got something super fucking fatal like Rabies, it might make them display mild cold symptoms for a day or something.
I don't know though. They have really fucking good immune systems. And even super fatal diseases can be fought. Take my example of Rabies, while it is commonly thought to be 100% fatal once symptoms show up there actually have been cases of people surviving it. Rabies is a very stealthy and fast disease, so the main problem with treating it is that your body's immune system isn't fast enough to stop it. People have survived by being placed in medically induced comas (slowing their bodily functions and thus the disease) for long enough that the medication can eradicate it. So for a speedster? That's gone in a minute tops. You would need an insane disease that I'm not sure even exists.
There's also like... pregnancy and menstruation. Growing pains, muscle pain from running is a BIG ONE, being dehydrated/starvation, blood loss, ect. Lots of ways to fuck with a speedster in a way they can't immediately fix.
There are also speedster specific ailments. It's basically 50/50 if a natural born speedster gets a weird highly fatal aging disease. Sometimes speedsters can be born without a kinetic energy shield which makes using their powers at all incredibly fatal to them. All speedsters will have connectivity issues at some point that can be fatal. Sometimes Time Gets Bad™ (shout out to when Barry kept chronically stealing time from people/things every time he used his powers). Sometimes they have too much energy and can't maintain human form (shout out to when Wally didn't know what the speedforce was and was accidentally cosplaying Ghost Rider). Velocity 9 is a highly addictive drug that works on speedsters and makes them display typical addiction behavior (and withdrawal). V9 can also cause a speedster to 'overdose' (burst into flames/lightning/energy). They all have the constant urge to yeet themselves into the speedforce. Ect.
#here's the thing: they are made of speedforce but its not a skin deep thing. you feel me? like their CELLS are made of speedforce#so all shit still affects them#i keep saying that they don't need oxygen or food to survive and thats true but its only if they're actively compensating with speedforce#cause they can get energy from the speedforce or they can get energy from oxygen and food or both. they can't do neither#and they don't really *know* or understand that theyd be fine with JUST speedforce energy. they still think they need oxygen and food#so if they were suffocating or something they might instinctively crank up the speedforce to compensate but they're also very stupid#so they might just die. idk it really depends on who it is how much they know and how much SF they're drawing on#cause like... energy beings need energy yo#i hope this makes sense#the muscle pain one is interesting cause Wallys early runs are really big on the whole hitting the wall thing#he would hit a wall that he physically couldn't break through and it caused him a lot of pain.#some of that was not being hooked up properly cause Wally wasn't hooked up properly until he was an ADULT#because he is FUCKING INSANE and he just went 'huh i guess this is my limit and i will stay below it' liKE AN INSANE PERSON#anyway some of it was SF issues and some of it was mental but he actually got really really hurt anytime he got close to the wall#REALLY bad muscle pain. and like... it was potentially extremely fatal. 'breaking down your body into little bits' fatal#he doesn't get that anymore because hes properly hooked up now but jfc that man treated 'entering the death zone' like it was#the high score to beat at his local arcade. he took it as a fucking challenge. absolutely insane dude right there

(Soft Spot - Everything You Touch Unedited Peek)
i feel a little like a failure with my writing lately but i'm at 4.6k words for the next part of soft spot now. how angry would you guys be if it hit close to 8k words because i think that's what we're working towards...
anyway, to make up for my... idk shit with writing lately, here's a(n unedited) peek into the next part for anyone who's interested.
Bitterly cold sand stung the palm of your hands as you looked away from that infuriating man. The ocean’s waves still crashed on the shore next to you, and you listened as the seagulls conversed on the rocks. Everything around you was perfect except that you were on the ground, knees in the sand, and Simon was not there to pick you up.
there's so many other bits i want to post but i'm forcing myself to save it for the actual release so enjoy for now i suppose

also lowkey kinda wanna write a fic at some point thats like. implied to be an older reader (like 95z/96z liner since it'd be svt specifically) whos never had a lot of experiences ppl mark down as 'normal teen experiences' (first kiss n whatnot) for whatever reason. and its not like a 'ohh im so nervous ive never been kissed' but reader just kinda being like 'yeah im doing shit on my own time. i dont wanna rush it, but can we take stuff slow as we figure this out together?' and its just reader and whichever 95z/96z guy figuring out this relationship together. maybe reader mentioning they've had relationships once or twice before but it didnt Feel right and they didnt wanna just kiss someone for the sake of saying they've kissed someone, etc.

Although - let me premise. I like Lyse. I don’t think Conrad choosing her to lead the resistance was earned, it felt very fast and a bit out of nowhere because she’s not a leaderly type and the traits she gained were in Doma (he didn’t see that happen), but you actually don’t have to change anything major to fix or at least better it in my brain, you just need to swap around some dialogue. Don’t have him talk to you about choosing her, have her take the reins herself or with encouragement when he dies. thassit I think itd give her some je ne sais quoi

Take 2 at trying Path of Titans. It’s been like 2 years since my last attempt, and the world is so much less boring and empty. Food is more plentiful, but hard enough to find to be a challenge. The questing system actually works. And I run into other players just enough to be fun when it’s not depressing (as most players just try to kill babies on sight which is a super natural animal behaviour to go on constant murder rampages /s soooooo). But unlike the Isle I don’t lose all progress, just some. So it’s not a total give up situation.
I started out as idk tiny baby dinosaur emu
Tumblr media
and was adopted by a slightly bigger baby dinosaur emu
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but then I died and was alone again
Tumblr media
then I made a friend but bigger versions of my new friend came and killed my friend so I was alone again
Tumblr media
and then you’ll never guess who found me again! My older baby dinosaur emu friend! They grew into....subadult feathers? I’m not sure, they’re not baby feathers anymore tho
Tumblr media
but then I had to leave but when I logged on again, who was there to greet me? WillowCloud again! All shiny and grown up!
Tumblr media
I am also more grown up but still baby. One day I too will be grown up and travel the world even faster and see all the sights
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but right now I’m huddled on top of a cliff just out of reach of a carno trying to eat me. But they can’t cause if they come any closer they will fall off the cliff. They’re trying really hard to fake friendly for someone who was trying to bite and tail whip me. I don’t believe their friendly call.

Anyone else remember the little 88x31 buttons from older internet days? I've been remembering them a lot lately.
I make ffxiv ones in msp when I'm in queue or my bf is flying me around between quests.

I love my job so so much and it like. Always feels like a too good to be true situation. So i feel awful asking off again but also my lungs and chest hurt so bad and i cant speak more than a few sentences withoit going into a coughing fit so i really dont think itd be good for me to man the phones even from home. And my boss/coworkers have always been understanding and kind about my days off. I have the pto, this is what its for. We've talked about it. But i still feel so guilty lol

as of today, all content pertaining to jujutsu kaisen and other anime will no longer be housed in our archives… for now. our beloved ceo has decided that due to a severe lack of motivation and interest, along with other factors they’ve yet to address, nothing further will be published at this time.
oh, but don’t worry your little head!
for all the kpop stans out there, you can look forward to frequent appearances by nct, enhypen, and more (if our boss is up to the task) from now on. stay tuned for the first volume in this new era, which is to be issued sometime early to mid april!
from the bottom of our hearts, we thank each and every one of you for sticking with us. we hope you’ll continue to support sage and the starworld gazette as we adjust to this major shift in the company. have an amazing day and stay safe out there <3
