#but i doubt the university will help

[desultory-suggestions]

I got literally screamed at by a professor at my college today who overheard me speaking to another student about the pro-Palestinian protest on my campus. I am blown away by the absolute lack of professionalism and the completely offensive things she said. She can scream her head off, she isn't shaking our students. Palestine will be free.

#des posts #my professor (came in right after the woman left) will be filing a complaint #but i doubt the university will help #the vitriol was so shocking I'm just at a loss #evan rambles

Tony: Hey Peter, I read over your English essay

Peter: how was it? Do you think I'll get a good grade?

Tony: Well, I thought the first 2 paragraphs were good

Peter: What about the third?

Tony: well you'd probably get a better grade if you didn't put "the analysis is severely limited by my lack of understanding what I am doing"

Peter: But if I didn't put that then I'd just put nothing because I have no idea what was going on

Tony: yeah but- you know what? That's fair, I don't understand any of this either. I don't know why I offered to read over it

#me too peter #i also have no idea what my english teacher is banging on about #i doubt Tony would be much help either #why is the door red!?

When Tim Drake-Wayne stepped into that portal in the shut down government lab, he never really thought about dying from electricity would be the way he’d go. It had always seemed like it would be a rogue questing for revenge, or his investigations taking him where he shouldn’t be.

On second thought, it really looks like the second one of the list was coming true.

The last thing that crosses his mind as the agonized screaming(that couldn’t possibly be him, right? he doesn’t feel like screaming any more.(he feels like crying)) ends abruptly is that he really wishes he could have finished a few more mysteries with his family.

And then he woke up.

months later, when Tim starts obsessively digging into investigations with more vigor than he’s ever had, ripping through the pitiful attempts at hiding crimes or evidence, and even going as far as to dragging in the suspected perpetrators for extremely brutal ‘questioning’ even when their committing the crime isn’t certain, or the crime isn’t bad enough to warrant this behavior.

The newfound meta powers he uses to pursue whatever goal he’s aiming for are only the cherry on top of a heaping pile of problems. Tim is practically losing himself in his detective work, and nothing the bats do seems to help.

He’s obsessed.

(or- Halfa!Tim doesn’t have a protection Obsession. instead he’s Obsessed with investigating. And with no way of knowing what to do, all he can do is try and fulfill his Obsession. In any way possible.)

#dp x dc #dc x dp #crossover #dc universe #dp x dc crossover #writing prompt #writing #batpham #tim drake #halfa tim drake #obsessions being counterproductive #tim’s gone rogue #and he’s the last one to realize it #heck by that point i doubt he’s fully there enough to care #tim has no idea how to twist ghostly instincts to fit a human life #batman’s weak for his family #so the last option is calling in a coworker or seven who knows about ghosts #eventually the game of telephone reaches phantom and he knows enough about halfas to help #but until then? #angst time baby. #loosely inspired by ‘hand me my shovel i’m going in!’ by will wood and the tapeworms #mostly vibes and about 1/3 of the lyrics #but the inspiration is definitely there #i recommend it #will wood is awesome

My one true prediction for Beyond the Spiderverse is Miguel is gonna catch up to Miles and hold him back from saving his dad only for Miles to either call out for his dad or take his mask off so his dad can at least see he’s Spiderman before he dies.

Either Miles’ pleas or Jefferson’s realization and care for his son reminds Miguel of those last moments with his daughter and how he’s been forcing multiple Spidermen to be okay going through that and is practically gonna be the cause of that for Miles and either let’s Miles save his dad or saves Jefferson himself.

#cause I doubt they are gonna keep #him stuck in his ways but I wanna know how it plays out #maybe he just sees 42 miles and realizes that that doesn’t destroy universes and has like this moment of blame that it was just him #or realizes he’s an anomaly too or whatever but helps in the final act #atsv spoilers #miles morales #across the spider verse spoilers #atsv #across the spiderverse #miguel o'hara

the fucking shitshow i experienced today…

#i won’t even get into the details of it but my work is being undermined and i didn’t say anything about it bc i was so taken aback and in #absolute shock. i have literally never Ever experienced something of this sort im not being dramatic i went into my office and told my #coworker girls what happened and everyone was staring blankly like ‘they said that to YOU??????’ bc it’s genuinely fucking unbelievable #got told some out of pocket shit that i willllll notttttt let slide but i need to get my shit together and think up the best way to respond #bc this wasn’t just undermining my work it was borderline humiliating. all from this woman who is supposedly my PhD mentor who NEVER #fucking helped me with anything and now she’s trying to tell me something that is SO insanely unfounded and just insane truly #as if i didn’t take over the entire goddamned (multi million) project and played the role of *drumroll* two phd students three #collaborators and TWO mentors one of whom was supposed to be the project lead. all that did so well that our ceo STILL praises me in #meetings and he never fucking praises anyone. as if i wasn’t offered two job positions in two separate labs while in one of london’s top #universities. as if i haven’t published 8 papers and a scientific book chapter which I’m the first author of #all without her help and now she wants to play mentor by trying to talk shit. oh my god im so miserable right now you have no idea #i can’t fucking stand her and no one in the company likes her anyway lmao but like #when i get out of this fucking state of SHOCK she just put me in im about to tell her to fuck off forever so politely and so wonderfully #that she will not know what happened to her. doubting MY capabilities ohhhh as if. as IF.

How do I explain the ways in which the bill origins fic 'A Romance of Many Dimensions' by haley3 rewired my brain without needing to give paragraphs upon paragraphs of context. The fic is something like 200,000 words long. Almost every single good moment calls back to things that are set up earlier in the fic

#godsrambles #girl help 'the colors in our universe are the same as the ones in his home dimension because our universe is made out of a piece of bill' #makes NO sense without adding way more context #not to speak of 'bill is obsessed with ford because he can Feel the same cosmic thread connecting them as the one that drew him towards- #-meeting his henchmaniacs which makes him convinced against all odds that ford is gonna join him' #and the long beginning is set in flatland. its what finally got me to read the book flatland #and now I will literally think to myself 'its not that i Have to do x or y tasks. i GET to do x or y tasks isnt that great' #'i get to live in a physical form that experiences so many vivid thoughts and sensations while on bills favorite planet in the multiverse' #and i will be like 'why should i drag my feet about learning this or doing that. bill was literally trapped in a 2d world-' #'and KILLED to be able to experience a life as 3d and colorful as the one im in' #'and just like bill was so desperate to learn and see and do Everything that the axolotl gave him a ton of power so he could do that.' #'i Also want to learn and do and see everything i possibly can. and i literally HAVE the chance to do that' #'so i'd better start actually Trying to do and see and learn everything i can' #and then i brush my teeth slightly more often or whatever #fucking unhinged and ridiculous way of getting myself to do tasks #the events of this fic arent even my headcanon for bills powers and backstory. i just think its neat! #and now my brain has been permanently rewired by a got dam fan fic. #anyways sorry for all the spoilers but i mean. i doubt many folks would decide to read a fic that long without being intrigued by spoilers #most frustrating thing is that the hard hitting spoilers SEEM understandable without context. #but i promise there is a lot of context missing that makes it make sense why they are good plot points and not just weird random happenings #edit: its 200000 words not 600000. how did I misread that

sometimes i'm scared that i've been this way for so long that i don't know how to be anything else anymore.

#lily talks #thinking about what to do after i finish my degree #you know just normal things to ponder at 1am #i've been in this hell called university for so long i can't even imagine doing anything else anymore #goes hand in hand with being depressed and i can't help but wonder if it's just going to be the exact same thing if i decide to do somethin #else instead of getting my masters #i feel like my relationship with uni is the prime example of toxic #because it's going well some days and on those it's very rewarding #but all the others? oh boy #doesn't help either that i've got no clue what i'd even want to do instead #so i can't help but wonder what would be the lesser evil #bc i doubt that i'd get anything better than 'the lesser evil' #also the thought of just saying fuck all of this and starting over from scratch persists #and while i do believe that you can start over at any age the reality that money is a very limiting factor gets worse every year #unfortunately i lack the mental health needed to both work and further educate myself #i really admire everyone who manages #also it doesn't help that i'll have to decide if i want to stay abroad or move back to germany soon-ish #i like it here and while it sucks to be so far away from all of my friends i feel like the change of scenery really did me good #unfortunately living here is extremely expensive. #in any case #this sucks

hi, fellow selina fan here!!! i don't disagree with you in that i don't think selina should ever be permanently restricted to… well, honestly, just about anywhere. to fully disclose my bias here, my favourite daydream with her is currently post "little bird" selina deciding to start robbing museums to build her street rep (more lucrative oppurtunities) and returning them to either the people or countries they were stolen from, but also taking something from the museum she was returning that lacked non-capitalistic value.

but, i also think the idea of her having her "own little corner of gotham", to some people at least, is more so representative of the idea of community loyalty than it is of anything akin to city-level patriotism if that makes any sense. like personally, i tend to interpret things like that as more of a soft spot than territorial boundary-making. like, to me anyways, the general idea sort of has the same appeal as selina's compassion for fellow swers or poor youth moreso than anything similar to how bruce "has" gotham, or dick "has" bludhaven, & so on a & so forth.

mind you, i also think the whole idea of assigning these characters "territories" (i.e. things outside of community-based work or generally frequented areas) is sorta suspect in general, as it's a very proprietary train of thought & therefore sort of capitalist in nature. i just also see the appeal of examining selina's compassion through the idea of her having some allegiance to the people of the streets that bred her so to speak. i also want to clarify that agree with you in that the way fandom plays with this idea and it's canon is... unlikeable at best. i think that, if examining selina from this lens, her tie must be based in an allegiance born in the shared circumstances of the people of her community (and therefore something she should be shown to extend to others in similar circumstances outside of that) rather than any land boundary, or a more base-level idea of "home". and it shouldn't be "her setting" in the way gotham is for bruce, it should have specifc narrative relevancy if she's there, rather than placing her there for ease of writing.

sorry if this is bothersome, and for the length. i really enjoy your takes, particularly on the women of comic mythos, and you are a refreshing fandom presence in general, let alone just dc. i hope your day is a joy,

please omg you are not a bother at all! i love it when i get asks like this that are so thoughtful they really do make my day ❤️

i totally agree though! esp when you say "it should have specific narrative relevancy if she's there, rather than placing her there for the ease of writing" like that sums up so well what some of the issues are with writing her in the past decade or so. her connection is always going to be to community first so it makes sense to connect her to the people wherever she is and then work from there, and i think writers get stuck in trying to frame the city first before they frame the actual conflict or people involved. they get her involved in these big city wide schemes but what i miss are the smaller niche stories she got in the 90s or even in some of brubaker's earliest issues. that idea of her being hyper aware of the spaces bruce wasn't hyper aware of bc he had bigger foes to contend with was really good (even if i did have some issues with the way brubaker framed it to look like bruce didn't care in comparison). bc it's not necessarily gotham or the east end that's special. it's the people she meets who have struggled in ways similar to her and you're always going to find the strongest connections and narrative poignancy when you keep that in mind. i think ram v was trying to go there with his short run esp what with having holly and maggie re-involved but it's a shame we had to see that cut short :/

#outbox #i think tangentially her issues also have to do with the modern disdain for civilian centered stories #there's so much focus on fanfare and connecting to universal events that you don't really get to write small stories anymore #like could something like the sorrow street story in showcase 93 be published anymore? i doubt it #and it's tragic bc those are exactly the kind of stories where selina shines. she doesn't need the fanfare #her strengths as a character are always in the fact that she helps people we wouldn't normally think of #and when she does it's in contrast to her conquests as a thief. the spotlight is for when she's a rebel #but the shadows are for when she's a saint

Called five pharmacies to see if they had any adderall which was definitely worse for my mental health than not having any adderall

#which of course makes a self doubt spiral maybe everyone is right and add is fake and if it is real i don't have it #which i why i think the glasses analogy is useful #because my vision is real bad but without corrective lenses i could still do most things #including drive probably but i couldn't read a sign to save my life or do many things people take for granted #like see the faces of people who are more than a couple feet away #so do i NEED glasses #do i DESERVE glasses #so not only is the process of calling half a dozen pharmacies for something that i know they probably don't have the fucking worst #it makes me feel like utter shit that the universe slash drug companies slash the DEA #made something that ok yeah sure i can do without but is certainly HELPFUL so difficult #and difficult in a way that is specifically difficult for people who have the brain problems that the medication theoretically helps with #it's like asking for help and getting backhanded #which definitely reinforces existing predilection toward not seeking help #you're on your own kid! #so in conclusion i can trod along playing life one difficulty setting higher #as i have done the first 30 odd years of my life #or i can do something that may not even work that makes me feel like crawling under my bed and dying

it would be nice if actually NMH4 was smart and pulled a whole 'actually the real villain was inter-generational trauma all along!' and that it re-contextualised the overarching narrative of NMH to be about the about the Touchdown Family's struggle to end the toxic cycle of violence that their family has been stuck in.

#I DOUBT NMH4 will be that smart. (assuming it will ever happen) but it would be neat if they did lean into that #the reason why the ending of the cycle is so important is that it kinda adds a nice book end / call back to alice twilight #the whole ‘free us from the red crimson sea of madness!’ as a cry for help by assassins asking Travis to help them leave the life #of being an assassin still kinda gets to me #I mean the whole reason why NMH2 happens is that many of the characters are there BECAUSE of Travis. many envy him because he was the one #that became number one. AND WALKED AWAY. #plus in NMH2 travis says ‘we may be fucked up but assassins are human too’ and GAH HES SO RIGHT ABOUT THAT #like really one thing that does bother me about flesh and blood episode is that Travis is VERY NONCHALANT about killing henry. like hey. #that’s your brother who literally just told you not long ago that he saved you and (their) sister jeane from their father!!! #like?? wouldn’t you have a mental breakdown about that revelation?! like I get human emotions are complex #but like at least SOME FORM OF REMORSE WOULDVE MADE THE SCENE BETTER. even him perhaps scolding Sylvia for being nonchalant about the death #of Henry would have made the situation go from ‘oh god the horror’ to ‘don’t you dare say that about my brother #’he did everything to keep me and my sister safe and you have the audacity to think I was okay with killing him?!’ #like seriously where did that small bit of familial bonding/friendship development with Henry and Travis go after NMH2????? #like Henry didn’t just save Travis in the Nick of time with the jasper batt jr fight for NOTHING. #Travis failed to save jeane! so make him at least try to help Henry!! he’s his only real blood relative and knowing the person who’s done #their best to keep you out of very specific life threatening danger - I think you owe your sibling to try and save them from whatever #is happening to them that’s making them take irrational decisions of world domination #SUDA HIRE ME TO BE YOUR WRITER TRUST ME I CAN FIX YOUR SILLY LITTLE UNIVERSE I SWEAR #nomoreposting #suda51posting #nmh3 spoilers #shallow rambles #sorry I’m have deep thoughts about this series and it’s implications sorry #yeah I’m kinda in denial of the whole Henry’s domination of the world thing (not that I hate it!! good for him!!) #but also I wish there was much more build up and development before hand you know? the last time we got development was in NMH2 #<- NMH2 was released… 13 years ago and even then henry still doesn’t have that much screentime either so is that even character development #if you’re reading tags. dear goodness thank you for putting up with my ramblings. /GEN

I have such a love hate relationship with Ellie. On the one hand I have my petty grudge against her, but on the other hand shes so sillyyyyy being Jackie's lil lackey did her so many favors in my mind she's not only a lil shit but also a lil teachers pet I love her
