Prompt 263

Once More, we return to Tiamat prompts. 

It was a wonderful idea, really! If one of them couldn’t break the barrier, then surely their combined might would do it! And it had! It had worked, even if their remaining humanity was sacrificed. They’d done it, they’d made it where everyone could escape, could leave!

… Except for them. Someone had to close the portal. And it all would have been fine, if not for the remnants of the GIW. One last hail mary from the imbeciles, they all supposed. Trapping them here within the Zone. 

Separated from their families, from the pair of children they had agreed to raise. At least their siblings would watch over Ellie and Jordan. Kyle could hide them, make sure they were safe. Jazz… Jazz was gone, the final straw in this plan. 

They screamed, they raged, they destroyed in grief for those that didn’t make it, and for those who had but had nowhere to go. No portals opened, even as they tore at the green around them. They fought, any that thought they were weak, that they were merely a beast, an abomination trapped in chains of science and gold. 

There was nothing that could be done, Frostbite had said, sympathy in his voice. No way to turn back the clock with how entwined they had become, Clockwork had explained. The only thing they could do was wait, Pandora had tried to sooth, despite it doing nothing. 

They wrenched open the coffin in a hazy fury, tearing apart armies like it was blades of grass. Their maws devoured dead who had lost themselves and become mere husks and thralls, lashing tails ripping through armour like it was nothing. 

And then as titans, they clashed with the one who had once stolen the city here. There was no desperation from them this time, no armor besides scales unbreakable as flames and storms and ice and thorns ripped islands apart. There was no desperation besides that of their opponent’s. 

There was a pleasure in their victory, before it was wrenched away. What use was a crown when their family wasn’t there? When their daughter, their son, their children were not there by their side? 

Paulina laughed, hysterical as ectoplasm dripped from her maw as Kwan howled. Their body was covered in it, their rampage that had no use, no reason leaving a trail of destruction behind them. Is this what they wanted? 

No. 

Danny raised his head from the dissolving corpses to look towards the obliterated roof of the Keep, once so terrifying now turning to dust like the crown. The crown reforming above their heads, heavy and almost choking. 

They would carry this weight together. Would restructure things, would do what they had wanted to do for Amity before the Barriers. They’d work together to rebuild the Realms, make it safer, make it safe for those newly dead. 

No matter how long it took, no matter how hard it would be to fix the destruction they had wrought in this meaningless battle. (“Danny, you’re the spokesperson,” Sam spoke up, thorn-like scales ruffling. “You’re most familiar with the realms thanks to the Infinimap.” Fair. “We’ll need allies, we’re only nine people.”)

(“Let me talk to the egyptian afterlife,” Tucker sounded exhausted, hood folding back. “I’m most familiar with them… Star, Paulina, you’re both Princess Dora’s favorites-”)

(“We can do it. Just give us time.” “Maybe a to-do list.” “Clockwork. We need to talk to Clockwork, he’d be most familiar with this.” “Rest first, nerds. We’re all… exhausted.”)

(Valerie laughed tiredly, blades melting to heal a broken horn. “Time isn’t linear here Dash. You know that. I know that. For once we’re the ones with time to spare.” It would take years to get things up to snuff. Make things Safe for when they could bring their families here.)

Their eyes opened as the now flimsy chains shattered, a smile stretching across the shared face of their humanoid form. Soon. They could return to the mortal realm soon. Just a little more, and they could see their little ones.  They'd waited a thousand years, they could wait a few days more.

@fairy-lights-and-blobs @radiance1 You both seem to enjoy my Tiamat prompts/Aus lol

#DCxDP #DPxDC #Prompts #dp x marvel #The Class Pulls a Tiamat #Ghost King Danny #But Not Really it’s All of Them #Reminder for who is part of the Ennead: Danny/Dash/Sam/Tucker/Val/Paulina/Kwan/Star/Wes #They adopted Dani & Dan #Why yes there is a couple of “cults” from people from Amity #Liminality causes increased lifespans but those who were merely contaminated are long dead #This is also a bit of another Au #Ghost Kings have subconscious influence on the Realms (hence why all the ghosts were so fighty) which means~ #Ghosts are Dragons #At least now they are #People outside the Realms aren’t aware that Pariah is no longer king thx to the large amount of destruction #Some poor hero or vigilante is going to try and stop this Portal thing #And end up in the throne room to their instant regret #The Ennead’s shortest form is still like 15ft (4.6m) & in dragon form is far above 200ft #Kyle is able to hide the truth while the truth can’t be hidden from Wes #Why yes the Ennead have been removed from their humanity a bit over time #it's been a while for them

…well, turns out changing to a Jo pfp is fitting in more ways than one.

#yeah turns out I’m going to be having a Jo and Laurie on the Hill moment. hopefully not to such a dramatic degree but #I went out with The Boy yesterday and I was dreading it so much #and it was fine but then at the end he asked if we could make it official that we were dating #and I asked him to give me a little bit of time to think (which he was super sweet about he did literally nothing wrong) #but yeah I just came to the conclusion within ten seconds of leaving the restaurant that it wasn’t going to work. like I felt nothing when #he asked me that question. and I wanted this to work so bad! it makes so much sense on paper but I’m just not feeling it #and I talked to my dad about it and he said that because the part of the brain that processes emotions is not connected to the part that #processes language aren’t connected that people who are married struggle to put into words why they married their spouse #so if I can’t put into words why I don’t want to date this guy it’s perfectly valid #and I suppose he’s right I just feel terrible about it. like how often do you find a guy this courteous and genuinely good? and like I #think maybe part of what’s bothering me was that there was almost no romance to this. like never at any point did he tell me that he even #liked me. it was just ‘hey we’ve hung out a few times now should we say we’re dating?’ and I’m not trying to rag on him he’s probably just #shy but it rang a little like a business proposition to me #but ugh. now I have to call (because I’m not going to do it over text) and break this poor boy’s heart #it’s a really good thing I have the play and my novel to distract me otherwise I’d be a mess #anyway prayers would be appreciated

Incredibly frustrated by how condescendingly jaded my uncle can be but I’m being so brave about it <- not blowing him up with my mind even though I want to

#ra speaks #personal #I love him. but my dude. bruh. #made a comment abt how I should try working/volunteering w the homeless #after I commented on his tirade abt homeless ppl ‘gaming the system’ by getting arrested in the winter #to have somewhere warm w food to stay like ‘why are we not talking about how fucked it is that the homeless will fucking die if they don’t? #like sir. buddy. you do remember that I grew up on food stamp right? I have gone to a food bank as a recipient before. #I’ve volunteered at shelters and soup kitchens before. I know addicts and homeless people in town. #this isn’t some naive wide eyed college socialist ‘those poor homeless people are saints’ schitck #this is a tired university food pantry anarchist ‘aren’t you fucking tired of being cruel to people who make the best o thr circumstances?’ #sorry you can no longer see the divine value of every human life and must endure the tragedy #of considering everyone not to your standard a lost cause. #some of us see the work to be done and will be doing it instead of wallowing in hate and pity. #shut up and get to work like the rest of us if you hate it so much. #it’s just like *strangled him* you see me twice a year dude I DO WORK AT A SOUP KITCHEN YOU IDIOT #I just don’t talk abt it because it’s just something I do sorry I thought making acts of charity your whole personality #was vain and frowned upon in christian society??? #this makes my plans to ditch academia and go into fulltime aid work feel all the more. idk vindicated??? #that’s not the right word but you get it. uncle t I love you but you know fuck all and have hardened your heart to the world. #god break that heart of stone you have and bless you with love for your fellow man. or whatever. #for context this convo happened like two years ago but I saw him last week and in light of recent personal revelations I’ve remembered it #core memory locked in ‘are you for fucking real uncle t?’ #vocational woes

[im-still-watching-anime]

man does anyone else just constantly forget neji died?? i was rewatching the war arc and got to it like HUH OH YEAH like i remember shikaku and inoichi more than him because i just didn’t like the writing for his and repressed it too much so now whenever i see any reference to it my brain blue screens for like 20 seconds straight

#it simply does not compute #like don’t get me wrong im into tragedy and well written character deaths ALWAYS get me #but idk i just thought neji was a poor choice if you HAD to kill one of the konoha twelve off #not that i WANTED any of them to die but i do think someone else would have been a better option #or killing off more than one would have balanced it better #and then it was also just how it was crammed between all the other big events so we had to rush past it #shout out to the fillers always knowing naruto deaths aren’t striking hard enough and giving the dead characters more significance lol #can always tell someone is about to die when the fillers start giving them all the meaningful moments rip #idk though even the folllow up grieving and references just didn’t add enough #plus how it kind of just contradicted the main goal of the series idk #i just don’t like it so my brain is just like what death??? #probably would stick better if i ever rewatched post war or if i watched boruto though #but i dont so i continue to relive the ‘wtf why :/‘ every time i remember it lol #naruto shippuden spoilers #naruto spoilers #????? #does anyone need that tag??? #idk i added it in case

diseases that will having a man whimpering:

covid

#was weeping and moaning earlier after i felt like i was going to tear my throat out coughing;;; #this isn’t fun folks please remember to mask no matter what and get your vaccinations #and don’t be a fool like my poor idiot baby brother who went to the county fair during peak hours. without a mask. #because he assumed it’d be okay because it was outside 🙃 #i also found out he’s been terrible about masking in general #and just. straight up doesn’t use one most times his boyfriend takes him out somewhere. #it’s. frustrating. #i’d been so careful…… #i wear my mask everywhere and i wash my hands frequently and i don’t go places with people #i don’t go to restaurants and i don’t visit public venues #and at most my partner and i will go to a garden and put our masks on whenever we get within 20 feet of other people #assuming we aren’t just masking the whole time #i feel miserable #and right before one of the most important semesters of my career #all because my brother didn’t think it’d be a big deal if he left his mask at home #oughughh……….

[j-esbian]

no but genuine question bc i’m still thinking about that post lmao. why do Music People have such a superiority complex

#i don’t know if it’s intentional but that’s how it comes across #there are. a LOT of things where i don’t understand what most people are talking about and feels like they’re faking interest #bc i genuinely don’t get it. it’s lonely for me but ultimately fine ig #but there’s something about the way Music Bros talk about Normies that rly just. feels very demeaning #like. people who aren’t as into music as they are are uncultured little monkeys #genuinely i have gone months without listening to music of my own free will #and if i say that people are like ‘oh you poor baby’ when it’s like. this is only a problem for you #or like. idk i feel like there’s better and more enjoyable ways to use my time #i listen to podcasts at work bc at least it makes me feel productive. i can do two things at once and it’s more efficient #but music to me is like. movies. there’s something about them that i don’t get and usually just bounce right off from #i will say there’s something nice about singing in the car or at home by yourself #but just because something is important To You doesn’t mean it’s important to being human #i don’t make posts making fun of people who don’t knit #or people who don’t read. we all spend our time on different things whoaaa crazy

[fishyartist]

Tumblrina 2 me btw. Would ride up and say some shit like “I’m not trans but I believe in their beliefs” or maybe say some shit about leaving to “steal some shoelaces” then kicking Joe Biden in the sack or something

#I’m thinking about their families. Danny’s r easy the fandom is ripe w Fenton opinions #less about mansons or foleys pr grays #like there’s some stuff but there’s a lot more room to explore the space #I also wanna give them uncles and aunts and cousins and extended families but I’ll worry about that if/when relevant. #but the family units they actually live with matter more so that’s where my thoughts lie #anyways! so #mansons give me big ‘’coparenting after a divorce must be rough’’ ‘’…we aren’t divorced’’ energy #like get divorced 10 years ago. they make each other worse and no one enjoys it #ida had a huge life where she was poor but moved around a lot+learned+did alot and I think whichever of sams parents she parented resent it #and rebeled from that by leaning super into the hussle culture capitalism tar pit #then maybe ​one of tuckers parents is technically a step parent… bio parents had a healthy divorce/breakup to friends coparenting arc #but like written in a way that doesn’t think of either parent as worse or weird shit like that #like ‘’technically’’ as in legally but tucker considers all three equally his parents #idk. I have some worried about writing that well but I’ll look into it on my own later #Valerie’s other parents probably gonna be a ghost. lots of potential for angst and/or a sweet reunion there #probably the latter I love that sappy shit #but bc that parent’s gone Val+her dad became super super close+trusting #they for sure have shared hobbies but I haven’t decided what yet #thinking something related to athletics or photography? #that’s probably closest to fanon based on my understanding of fanon tropes #where like. lying to their dad about hunting ghosts it is a major struggle for Val emotionally.

[bloomingdead]

strangers need to stop coming into my inbox bashing horizon game’s writing as if they weren’t searching through the tags when they came across my little nobody posts. you musta liked something abt them if you’re still, idunno, tagdiving in 2023. just admit you’re bitter aloy didn’t kiss your fave and leave 🤗

#hfw #hzd #bs #burning shores #‘the writing is bad’ lmfao some of the conversations are corny but what we arent abt to do is pretend the storyline is poor #this is one of the most unique climate critical stories to have come out of 21st century yet #and the only climate critical videogame that’s main themes aren’t a metaphor or a dystopian future society #just like life is strange #the story itself isn’t bad it’s just some of the dialogue is clunky bc english isn’t the creator’s first language

Thinking about how Shouto Todoroki never had physical affection as a child, and still probably doesn’t understand how to process it now that he has friends like Mina, Uraraka, izuku, Kiri, kami, and tsu; all people who are very physically affectionate.

I may or may not fuck around a write another touch starved Shouto fic.

Who knows

Fuck around and find out

#me too kid #me fucking too #I had the bad kind of affection as a kid #and now I am ✨touch starved✨ #like our boi Shouto over here #we’re all a little fucked up around here aren’t we #me ignoring me homework and planning fics? #who knows #bnha #mha #poor shouto #todoroki shouto #shoto todoroki #touch starved Shouto

Another thing to note is some people can’t get away with anything, and some people get away with everything. Maybe even the same things are being done, the only difference is people’s perception of it.

#after all #this world is one big popularity contest #and we don’t all get to win #my thoughts #I used to get really upset about this #I used to be so jealous and angry if someone didn’t have to go through what I did #I used to be so angry just in general #but overtime I’ve learned that you can’t think like that #everyone has their own cross to bear #no one is free of any problems at all #even the trust fund nepo baby reclining in their 5 #5000 dollar chair whilst judging the poors for being “lazy has SOME problems #lol #should those people kindly shut the fuck up? #yeah #but again do you expect a 14 yr old to understand your adult issues? #no #you don’t #you understand that they aren’t there yet or even they may not face the same ones you do #but you can’t hate them #hate poisons your heart #it’s best to shed it if you can #I’m also obviously not thinking of anyone specifically but I’ve had a few events that kind of kicked off my dissection of this #also these are things I’ve known for a while but need reminders when I’m not doing well again #also I can kindly thank some choice brilliant minds that helped me form this over the years and lately #no shame in gathering all the information you can to form your worldview #I mean really the alternative is to never consider anything anyone has ever told you that could help you #and that wouldn’t get you very far would it? #credits to the world #credits to people who have been though what I’ve been though or something similar and made it to the other side

on a personal level, no, reading “problematic” media wont like, change your moral compass

but i do feel like maybe! we could discuss uhhhh the history of racist fiction in america and the way it’s added to the overall self mythology of america and the way white people think about and interact with Black people to this day

rather than making 500 “haha people who think fiction affects reality are so stupid” posts

#i am getting so tired of ‘oh you think fiction affects reality?? i guess you kill people if you ever read about a murderer #no bitch i just have studied american history #i’ve studied gone with the wind and fucking birth of a nation #and yes there were other areas where those narrative of the civil war were being pushed (textbooks & confederate statues & etc.) #BUT LIKE. THERE ARE OTHER AREAS WHERE WHITE SUPREMACY IS BEING ADVANCED RIGHT NOW. AND ALSO FUCKING ALWAYS. #it drives me crazy because i feel like at first ‘problematic’ was used to refer to like #racist or homophobic or sexist depictions #and now it’s been reduced to ‘oh poor baby doesnt know not to murder people unless the author says it’s bad’ like bro shut up #even aside from the historical examples #think about all the cop shows that have completely altered most people’s idea of the police away from what the actual job is #making them into action heroes (and demonizing the internal review people like. what) #increasing the perception of danger and decreasing the respect for ‘going by the book’ aka obeying rhe fucking law and respecting people’s #constitutional rights #i know i should know better than to hope for nuance on this app #but i swear the next self righteous ‘people who think fiction affects reality are so stupid’ post is getting blocked #it’s not about your personal media consumption it’s about the stories we as a society tell ourselves and each other repeatedly! #and even if you personally aren’t susceptible to those messages you should be aware of when you’re supporting them #mary emma talks

I can make GK sooooooo much sadder than it has to be.

[Check the Tags]

#Gotham knights #Ronny’s cat tofu #shut in the fuck up ron #the timeline GK has given us that aligns with things that HAVE to happen in every universe is great #Jack Drake’s canonically alive in GK… #Bruce is not… #which mean a list of things are gonna happen without Bruce being there… #like a) Jack horrifically finds out his kid’s robin and more than likely is gonna pull a gun out on Dick which is…admittedly kinda funny— #but b) Identity Crisis…is Gonna end up happening with one of the other knights rather than Bruce… #so…one of these guys are gonna have to witness the absolutely heartbreaking scene of Tim frantically trying to “save” his father while near #hysterics. they’re also gonna be there for his inevitable depressive episode AFTER Jack dies #now the weird thing about GK is that Kon’s in his t-Shirt Phase but they aren’t in the Teen Titans #it’s actually implied they’re still Young Justice… #so idk if he’s actually gonna die (we don’t know if infinite crisis is something that ends up happening because we got a Lazarus pit Jason) #but…there’s still a couple other things that are eventually gonna happen… #one less sad one that still is…angsty? is meeting Duke (I have an entire thingy for this actually. thoughts going cRAZY.) #and Cass which is just sad in general because now she’s gotta go through the rest of her training as a *bat* without her dad :( (I also made #and entire thingy for her as well.) but it’s okay because she has Babs. :) #however the subject of Stephanie… 😀😄😀 #oh these poor kids. 😭 #anyway GK can be 10x as heartbreaking when you realize that there are some things that are just…bound to happen… #haha! #imagine Jason getting stuck with Tim during identity crisis. oof. #or worse dick (this man is gonna have a break down FOR his baby brother). #Babs getting stuck with him for it might actually tear me apart. :((((

[captainclickycat]

There’s a particular phenomenon I’ve noticed a few times on tumblr where a post and its notes go something like this:

Person A: People in fandoms are yuckygross and eww!! 😂😂 criiiiiiiiiiiiiinge!! 😂🤮😂

Person B: Well I think it’s clear that what this stranger actually means is that building your entire identity around a fandom is a deeply unhealthy mindset and one single piece of media you have no real control over should not be your sole source of comfort or affirmation in the world. If it gets to the point where any criticism of your favourite show causes you intense distress and you parse it as a criticism of you, you need to take a step back and gain some perspective. Furthermore I can tell they were saying that the mindset of “my country fandom right or wrong” allows people to stick their heads in the sand and overlook any inherent overarching flaws in their fandom or the media it’s based around. Honestly op’s post was a fair and nuanced critique and if it offends you, you probably need to take a look at yourself.

Like regardless of how legitimate a point Person B might have been making, they’re attributing an awful lot of words and talking points to another person who categorically never said any of them.

#anyone else noticed this? #it’s like the reverse of bad-faith oversimplifying ‘how dare you say we piss on the poor’ misinterpretations #there is such a thing as being too good-faith as well #at a certain point maybe it’s better to just write your own post instead of piggybacking off obnoxious inflammatory ones #that aren’t actually making the same point
