#YOUR TRYING TO REPLACE ME!

[kamilucky-blog]

here's a fun theory.

Grian is a human turned watcher. He is trying to cause chaos and does not want to function

BigB is a Watcher turned human. That's why he's actively trying to be a normal person but what is normal to him?

The Curse Of Hope

_

Danny is in another universe. He had a reason, but he doesn’t remember anymore. He can only stare, horrified and disgusted, at the sickest city spirit he’s ever seen. Shivering and swaying with every step, core exposed, and ectoplasm leaking from wounds that are decades old. A ratty blanket was thrown over their shoulders, barely hiding the spirit’s pale grey skin and protruding black bones.

The spirit didn’t even sense him until he reached out to touch its wispy shoulders. The spirit flinched, clutching at the dozens of trinkets hanging from their neck and tucking in on themselves like they were expecting a blow.

“Oh, shit,” He swore, floating back a few feet, hands in the air, to show he meant no harm. “I’m sorry. I promise, I’m not here to steal from you.” The spirit shivered again and rolled a pearl necklace in between their fingers. A nervous habit. “Uh, I like that pocket watch? It’s very nice.”

That got their attention. They peeked at Danny, and he saw that more tattered cloth was covering their eyes, blending in with the stringy hair that reached the ground. Their blanket fluttered weakly, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny marks etched into their skin. Scars, really. Scars that wrote out curse after curse onto the spirit’s very being. They burned with evil intent, and even reached inside the spirit’s body and wrapped around their core.

Occasionally, blinding specks of color raced across their body, temporarily erasing the writing, but it always returned quickly. He watched, a little detached, as one particular line rewrote itself across their rough forearm, drawing fresh ectoplasm like someone was writing it with a thin knife.

“Are you…alright?” Danny stuttered. A stupid question.

The spirit cocked its head. He couldn’t see their eyes, but he felt their burning gaze as they pondered the question.

“The pain of others becomes mine own.” They rasped. “The lights of the city dim as rotten wealth clogs mine veins. Magicks long forgotten have eaten mine skins, pulled mine cloak, and darkened mine skies. Helios has refused to grace mine doorstep, and the seasons of the Earth have revoked their kindness.”

Danny held his breath. It felt like he was the one with the exposed core, not the spirit.

The spirit shivered once more. “Tell mine soul, little lamb. How could this Forsaken City know peace, when it was long since ripped from mine hands?”

Shit, he needed Frostbite. And maybe Clockwork. Now.

-Or-

Danny meets the spirit of Gotham City. The villains and rogues that have plagued the city for decades are literal curses that are taking quite the toll on Gotham, and honestly, Danny isn’t sure how much longer they can hold out. The heroes seem to be doing some help, and are probably the reason Gotham made it this far, but the poor city needs help from the Realms if they want to get better.

Luckily, Danny can provide that help.

But only if he could get Gotham to leave their city behind. Because recovery is going to take a very long time.

#dpxdc #pondhead blurbs #Gotham is very lanky and tall and had dozens of necklaces around their neck #the necklaces are just cords filled with lost things the citizens have lost over the years #like bits of glass or wedding rings or hag stones made from a destroyed gargoyle #actually I have a weird picture of Gotham in my head I might draw it #it’s giving Bloodborne to me but idgaf #basically Danny meets Gotham and is trying to convince them to go with him for medical help because what the fuck #those curses are the equivalent of leaving hundreds of leeches stuck to your body for ten years #Danny is BEGGING Gotham to come with him #there’s potential for angst but if you want crack then Danny probably replaces Gotham #I think there’s already a similar fic where he becomes the new spirit of Gotham but I haven’t read all of that #anyways the Batfam are like #invasive animals that are actually helping the ecosystem recover from an even WORSE invasive species #but they aren’t supernatural heroes and they don’t understand that the issue is deeper #I’m calling this the Curse of Hope because Danny is offering hope to Gotham #but Gotham is just so tired and sick and hurt that they don’t want to risk it #they think Danny is another curse come to plague them #should he just straight up adopt the city at this point? #idk it probably depends on how it’s written #sad course is to let Gotham die. happy ending is where they are treated and returned #crack ending probably has Danny adopting the city and introducing them to his own city spirit Amity Park #oh shit is that a new ship #guys please I can’t keep doing this #Gotham City x Amity Park #how the fuck do you come up with a name for that #Burger Joints? #Wet Pavement? #bro idk I’m putting this down before I make something I might regret #low key wanna write this but like. I have so much to do

~help your local rat get stable housing~

edit post nov 2023: I GOT THE HELP I NEEDED THANK YOU SOSOOSO MUCH

dramatically sprawled out on the floor

so i gotta move for the third time in that many years. unfortunately between health problems and the General State of The Economy, I have been unable to find work to be able to save any money. i have no choice but to leave the entire state. i thankfully have somewhere to go, however I need help getting there. i've been trying to do the math to get what I need to its lowest amount possible, but even that is still at least $2.5k.

after this move, i should be able to get things more stable and I might even have a couple job prospects lined up in that area, but right now I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel funds wise and desperately need help.

if you're able to spare anything, i've set up a goal through kofi so i can track it publicly. i have trouble asking for help but i really need what help i can get. thank you, so so so much.

#mutual aid #fundraiser #help #god i dont know what to tag this im just kinda ripping off the bandage bc ive been anxious about posting about this since i got asked to #leave. head in hands. please help by spreading the word if you cant spare any cash i completely understand. #i dont know what i can offer. my ability to do art has been really really low and with my sleeping/living arrangements my wrists shoulders #back have been in fucking wretches states so its hard for me to do much #if youre wonder about the other fundraiser i did a few years ago #the person i replaced in a renting situation ended up fucking me over and got basically evicted into the 2nd week of college and i had 3 da #to leave that situation or more people wouldve gotten fucked over. and ive been basically couch surfing since trying to find work #anyways i havent slept in a bed for more than a weekend since october 2021 my back is turbo fucked please help

ace culture is listening to a fun popular song and not relating to a single lyric

#girlie if you don't want to get back with your ex then uhhhh don't ? #have you considered that #i do usually associate most romantic songs to my OCs but this is incomprehensible to me #this is like a foreign language but the translation doesn't make any sense either #i try to replace “him” and “you” with “frappe” #then it almost starts making sense #because I definitely shouldn't see frappe tonight #and yet I keep doing it ! #or a cappuccino at 9 pm #in today's episode of “casey discovers pop music outside their usual circle of eurovision and stoner metal and modern rock” #asexual #asexuality #ace culture

Harry Kim saying Naomi is lucky to be born on Voyager and that he would have given "anything" to have her life when he was a kid...

#He sees NO downsides???? #Also I love how Neelix was yelling and panicked and Harry was like 'haha ok buddy. Hey this little guy is ugly huh~? See ya later!' #absolutely unbothered and not the least bit curious - love him <3 #saw someone post about how they don't like 'once upon a time' bc Neelix doesn't tell Naomi right away about her mother .... bro. #c'mon. Anyway I love Neelix and him trying so hard to shield Naomi from bad things / upset bc he KNOWS how fucking painful #it is to lose a family DID make me tear up. #Also Naomi in that burned-down forest (symbolic of innocence?) was a kickass visual. Neelix telling her about his family and Naomi trying #to comfort HIM??? SHE'S SUCH A GOOD KID MAN....Neelix making her a flotter doll was also v cute #OH AND Naomi going 'I Am Borg...' and Neelix going '~??? No you're not~!!!' and Naomi giggling...added NOTHING to the #episode - as it should be!! Sometimes you've just gotta have a really cute silly moment <3 #Tuvok: [says something] / Tom: Nice bedside manner Tuvok =_= #Tuvok: [about to say the most beautiful comforting words you've ever heard one parent say to another] And I took that personally. #Love how Naomi is scared of Seven at first...girl that's your roommate. #HEHEH she starts off the series scared of her but by the end she's her little buddy and also her intern #but yeah never forget that Harry Kim can and will say the most unhinged things but so casually that no one will really clock it #NEVER forget that he says he remembers.....either being an infant or his own birth - both WILD to me #Harry Kim lowkey loves destiny and being special and the idea of 'chosen ones' and the narrative even though he will fight it all if it #harms the ones he loves #Harry: (guy from an alternate timeline who replaced the dead Naomi with the alive one from his own) That kid's living the dream <3

"Kingdom Hearts is so complicated" "Nomura made it up as he went along" "KH makes no sense" Have you considered that Riku is 15 and autistic and gay bc if you do I think itll change things

#domt get me wrong a lot of kh is fucking ridiculous and some of it is way too complex but like #bare bones? Rikus motivations are so real to me like Riku is such a realised character #Giving him hugs #If sora at any point in the game was like “Riku youre my best friend and i value you” nothing wouldve ever happened /hj #Obviously overhearing the dock convo with Kairi definitely triggered a fight or flight response in him #and him being like “Winner gets to get with Kairi 😼” and then as soon as the race is over being like “lol it was just a joke bro haha” #And him trying so hard to be a cool guy (which works tbf bc sora idolises him but is still evident) #Him tossing Sora a paopu and sayin “c'mon. you know you want to try it.” eithout ever saying Kairi to test the waterz #his main priority after opening the door to darkness being making sure Sora comes with him and feeling betrayed when he doesnt #and then in traverse town running when Sora has the chance to abandon him for his new friends #and then maleficent is like Lol he replaced u <3 and riku is gay and autistic and 15 about it #I care so deeply about kh1 riku. Hes just a little guy and he just needed a hug #apollo says stuff #UGHHHH #Its feeling so so sad about Riku Kingdom hearts hours #riku kingdom hearts #kingdom hearts #kh riku #soriku #beverly says stuff

Question for people who are good at AO3:

Is there a way to force a search to ONLY look for your target pairing as the first listed relationship?

#babble tea (blacklist this for less chatter) #AO3 #I'm currently making a sour little face at my 'with acceptable exclusions' search #because fully a third of this is 'your OTP is four down as a beta pairing' #and I'm just like #'I am trying to replace the WIP I had to unsubscribe from because it sprung NOTP on me can I just have a new nice thing' #although if the answer is no it's not a hardship returning to rereading old favorites #and that's definitely safer #the problem with glomming on to characters and going 'just like me fr fr' #when you are arospec/acespec #is that when people make them uncomfortably allo you want to scrub off your skin for like 5 hours straight #last time I had a panic attack though so thank you to this author for leading with a note #so I didn't actually wind up doing the 'crying in the bathtub' thing A G A I N

today i am grateful for one of life's many gifts, i.e., random inking pens you find on the ground that are better than any you can get in a store

#ignore me #idk how frequent this phenomenon is for everyone else but like. #i have a hoard of random brush pens that i just Found years ago and i dip into it when i wanna try stuff on paper. they're great #if you're at a college or university with an arts program keep an eye out and you too can profit from someone else's misfortune #i hope these weren't too expensive to replace and thank you for your carelessness i promise they're in a good home now

[blinkpen]

grumbles

what if portfolio day but its as slick and professional looking an image every given non-coward artist can muster of a character they made or have worked on saying "ceasefire now" or "they got money for wars, but can't feed the poor" and clogging the tag to total uselessness with it

#limited edition ambiguously sarcastic vent posts i know i'd get eviscerated for posting on twitter itself lmao #'this would keep me from getting hired' only by people who want you to be quiet and remain complicit about genocide #almost like any industry that puts you in that position should be burned to the ground or something #they're already trying to replace us more and more with fucking AI they don't have to pay or get backtalk from #megacorps have no loyalty to you why do you burn your morals to ashes to remain loyal to them #(-as i gently cup your face with my reassuring and also jewish hands- it is not antisemitic to say war crimes. are war crimes.) #(human lives will always be more important than arbitrary fucking lines in the dirt of this earth on which we were all meant to walk freely

Can somebody write a soulmate or hanahaki au where the concept isn't extremly amatonormative?

Thanks

#Hanahaki aus sound like a great vessel for angst but I cannot get past the concept #Why is it in every version ive seen a character becomes extremly emotionless if they get the surgery? #does the surgery only take away romantic love or does it take away your love for anything like your interests? #Does an aro person have a kill count for simply existing? #Soulmate aus are generally less amatonormative #But replacing romantic love with platonic love is still a problem #Aplatonic people exist stop erasing them #I have mildly enjoyed (1) hanahaki fic and it was a fucking splatoon f/f agent 24 fic #AND I STILL HATED THE CONCEPT IN IT #THE CONCEPT OF HANAHAKI AS IT IS NOW LITERALLY DOESN'T TAKE IN THE EXISTENCE OF ARO PEOPLE AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO ENJOY IT #Fandom culture try not exclude aro and or ace people challenge #I have tried to write hanahaki but the concept irks me so much that it always becomes 'how do I change this so it isn't really shit'

You know I have rickroll links on my downloads page and I am literally so disappointed no one has noticed or come to complain. FOR A YEAR they've been there. I'll have to send myself an anonymous message and pretend to be a rickrolled person for just a glimpse of fulfillment so thank you very much.

#im not dramatic #im never dramatic i am CALMNESS #ill replace all my links with rickroll and itll be your fault #yes i had coffee #4 or 5 cups #DONT JUDGE ME #twas really tasty and it was with milk #the only thing is im at a conference so i have to keep calm while the raving forest troll is trying to break free #hohoho oops #bye #nonsims
