'are you an optimist a pessimist or a realist' im all off them. except for the realist. is there one in between that doesnt involve being remotely realistic or reasonable? no but really all that positivity lovey dovey love yourself bullshit and all that other olny mildly or completely unrelated bullshit that just also happens to be really insufferable is actual such rubbish and insufferable and intolerable. 'im proud of you' shut the fuck up you dont even know me, like that is so absolutely totally bloody meaningless is that actually meant to make people feel better. and like those pretentious posts that are like romantcaise this, love that yada yada yada. love yourself think positive blah blah blah. theyre so annoying and bullshit and they make me hate evry form of optimism and also, like, 'romanticism.' but actually its like possible to be optimistic about stuff and like yourself and be in a good mood sometimes without being a infferable positively vibes poster (im talking about a picture with writing here not a person on social media but actualy that too) and just being normal about stuff, like naturally you have to feel good aabout yourself and like yoursef at least a bit, even if you also hate yourself. its normal to feel a bit of both, wwhich involves at different times feeling quite strongly about one or the othr. and its possible to be an optinist without being a bloody weirdo, like not wanting to give up and shit is normal human sentiment, just cause you dont go spouting it like a preacher. and thinking things will turn out alright eventually, like people literally counld not survive if they didnt believe that. ptuuing it insocial media posts is completely patronising howwevr. and on a different possible unrelated possible mildy related since theryre both about anoying infufferable people, like 'romanticising' things when people on the internet do it is so fucking annoying and pretentious and cringe. but like you can be like 'pretentious' and shit in a fun way which youd know if you ever read a book, theyre really pretentiosus and thstas pprobably in a good way. and like having emotions and stuff? thats normal humans do that im allowed to have emmotons without being a weirdo, and enjoy things and be annoying and pretentious. and like dramatic that was the workd was looking for. like the romanticism poets movment thing like about the beauty of the natuaral envionment. i mean they were soort of weird. but like being peotic and stuff, when youre relly bored and lifes really boring and you dont have any emotions cause you dont have a life, like feeling emotions by thinking like that is a normal thing you can do that can make you sane and feel a bit of enjoyment even though everythings rubbish
but like the point is why cant people have positive emotons and be normal about it and not annoying and not be like emotions are for annoying middle aged cgristian positivily juice women and teenaged girls who read books about vamipires. why cant emotions be a normal thing that people can be normal about having without it making you a girl or a woman especally a specific sort but also like in genral or a weirdo or a loser or a infuerable pretetious annoying loser. like obviosly im not going to be talking about having emotions and optinimism and stuff in real life or anything, but it can be in my head theres ntohing wrong with that except that imman annoying preetentious insuferable loswr but a dfiferent way from how hteye are like really im nothing like them i may be just as rubbish loser like whatever yeah fair enough but i cant explain why but in personality were nohting alike im not even being supioer except for the bits where i am i mean i did say i was better than them but thats just to me i personally think im better caue i like myself bterret i dont care what they think but the point isnt about being objectivly better its that i dont like them and im not like them even though were all people so we all have the same emotions its how they talk about them thats the point they see things really diferently and im thr normal one

I got my hair cut the other day and of course I had to draw the dca boys running a hair salon:
Sun would be so effortlessly charming. Always chatting away with customers, explaining each product he uses and how to best maintain and style their hair.
Moon I can see being popular with the less chattier customers (like me) but over time they begin to open up. I imagine he hums while working. Otherwise, he's all ears for the newest gossip.
(The clipped up hat idea came from @bamsara's solar lunacy doodles!)
Also I love the popular headcanon that the dca can speak other languages, so I can imagine them being a hit with the aunties.
The full sketch page under cut! And some of my other thoughts
Other thoughts about this... AU? Can I call it an AU? Feels kinda small for an AU, but whatever:
Eclipse works there too! Haven't decided if it would be canon or fanon Eclipse, though I really like the image of 4-armed Eclipse working on 2 clients at once (plus, the nickname Clip is perfect for this scenario)
of course they're great with kids! They'd be able to console kids that get scared of getting their hair cut. Sun would do a little trick and tell them how good and brave they are all the way through. Moon would console them and hum a soothing song (or hey maybe they notice the kid's wearing a disney shirt and starts humming some showtunes). Every kid gets a candydrop and a balloon on their way out.
y/n works at the hair salon as a part-timer and does tasks around the salon like sweeping, arranging bookings, washing hair, etc. They don't really care too much about their own hair, but the boys are always offering to style it, dye it, braid it. With y/n's permission, the boys always toy with their hair—patting it, combing their hands through it, brushing it over y/n's ear, ruffling it.

Dpx Dc AU: Ectoplasm is required for Ghosts to be visible to the human eye- And Danny creates his own ectoplasm.
Danny is visiting Jazz in Gotham and its weird how friendly everyone is. Like, the city gets a really bad rapport, everywhere he goes there is someone trying to strike up a conversation or answer his questions about getting around to the tourist spots. A few people even pointed out restaurants and ways to find off the beaten path gems! Jazz seems to role her eyes at him, but when he brings up her 'roommate' being kind of cute she flat out laughs.
Danny then comes to understand the Jazz doesn't have a roommate and that Ghosts in Gotham don't move far from their haunts- He's just been inadvertently turning these undead folks visible by accident of generating abnormal amounts of ectoplasm.
Which, is comforting in a way, he's never walking this dangerous city alone and really, most of the ghosts have been really friendly! They disappear once he's a few blocks away from them anyway.

Tim Drake is having a horrible day.
He'd been given intel that one of Black Mask's guys was going to snitch but that he'd died before given the opportunity to reach out to the GCPD. He tracks down the guy's last know whereabouts and yikes. Its next to the Theater. Tim was often grateful for his childhood obsessions, this time it backfired.
Tim and Bruce get into an argument about trust and respect and, worst of all, mental health. And even though Tim was vehemently against Batman accompanying Red Robin to the alleyway - that's exactly what happens.
They arrive and Bruce is closing up faster than a clam in the contaminated Gotham Bay- Clearly being in the Alley bothers him. No fucking shit. RR gets started on collecting evidence, there are a few extra blood splatters and a single left shoe... When a kid walks into the Alley.
"Uh, sorry to intrude-" The kid looks scared shitless, and runs away. And then, all of a sudden, Batman and Robin aren't alone in the Alley.
Tim can hardly believe his eyes as the dead man appears and quickly blabs Black Mask's bank passwords and what the plan had been- and While he's over joyed to have that closure, he turns around to Batman weeping in the arms of his parents.
The ghosts fade, and the emotions are certainly charged as this was never something Bruce or Tim would have ever dreamed of happening. Ghosts in Gotham. Talking, floating, granting closure.
"RR, Bats, come in." Oracle calls into their ears.
"Reporting in, but, uh, we need a minute."
"A minute? We have a case on 4th and-"
"O, we just saw the ghosts of the Waynes. It's going to be a minute."
"...Lots of Ghost reports lately then. Any chance you saw a kid looking like he could be adopted?"
"Yeah, actually, black hair and blue eyes. He was super polite before he ran away."
"We have work to do. Oracle, lets prioritize finding our person of interest and divert Nightwing and Robin to the case on 4th." Batman cut between them on the comms and he sounded... calmer than either of them anticipated.

Jazz is no longer laughing when Batman appears at her door explaining that he's looking for Danny (Who already flew away from town to get a good night's sleep before class on Monday). Turns out Danny reunited the man with his dead parents just briefly- and then the second guy appears and mentions how Danny had also given a guy who'd been murdered by a Mob enough time to explain the ongoing threats the city faced.
Jazz just rolls her eyes and says that it's not like the ghosts are going anywhere anytime soon and Danny will visit in another month. When pressed, she just explains that her brother is a weirdo. No of course he doesn't have powers. Gaslight and Girlbosses her way out.
And Jazz thinks that the game is up for at least another month, obviously when Danny visits more shit will stir up, but then this new guy appears.
Unlike the other Bats who are keen on watching her from a distance, the Red Hood knocks on her door. Are her eyebrows all the way into her hairline when Red Hood asks her to send his thanks along to Danny because somehow this whole situation led to his Dad expressing remorse for his actions and apologizing? Yes, yes they are.
But Jazz can smell Dissertation Data off of these vigilantes- Who is she to send them away? Jazz welcomes Red Hood into her place for a cup of tea and a small chat.
The story then devolves into Jazz getting shit done, Danny being cute by proximity and also bringing ghosts to the party, and the Bats having trauma resolve between them.
