#but i figured i could save it for later

[rey-129-fan]

Well, it's been a while since I've posted any fanfic... Let's change that.

Good news! I'm not dead! My brain did try to get me to do things that could unalive myself for a bit, and then I lost nearly an entire side of my family over the span of 3 years, but I'm still here and still kicking! And I have two new puppies who are adorable and so loving.

Now for this story, this is inspired by a few posts I saw on @theglamorousferal, mostly the one about Amity Parkers going to college in Gotham and buying a hotel (I'm making it a co-op student house, but I've never lived in one, so if something's unacceptably wrong, tell me, if not, artistic license), but also the one where our main Trio buy a building to set up shop there, and wind up adopted my Jason (I swear, I saw that post after I wrote the first chapter, but it just fit so well).

***

Honestly, Amity Park was weird long before the Fentons moved there- the original settlers named the nearby lake Eerie, and it wasn’t after the Great Lake.  It’s just that before the Fentons’ machine punched a hole through reality and created a permanent doorway to the land of spirits and ghosts, the weirdness was not as blatant.

Prior to that, Amity Parkers were some of the few that could move to Gotham without suffering a breakdown that was common for new arrivals.  Now there was a slight dip in newcomers for about a decade or two after the Bat made his debut and then the crazies that followed him, but then Amity Parkers got used to the spirits of the dead wandering around following the aforementioned punching through reality.

All this to say that Gotham Universities were a rather common destination for young Amity Park adults seeking higher education.

Now because of this, there were always apartments advertising themselves for people from the small town.  They, after all, tended to not have a breakdown after their fifth rogue attack and just pack up and leave halfway through their lease.  But it got very annoying having to sift through all the advertisements when looking for a place to stay- something Danny Fenton saw his older sister go through when she got in to Gotham City University.  The boy then shared what he was witnessing with his two best friends- Tucker Foley and Sam Manson.  Tucker offered to help filter out the spam, which Danny’s sister Jazz thanked him for but turned down.  Sam… Sam instead got thinking.

Sam had been to Gotham a few times in her life.  She had an idea of the areas closest to the schools and how much those should cost.  And looking at the letters Jazz was getting, the offers were a little too high for a regular college student to afford.  Sam was also familiar with how many hotels were not being used in Gotham- people building them in hopes tourists would come to stay while visiting the East Coast, tourists that could not be convinced to visit due to the high crime rate and the lack of activities or places of interest in the city itself.

She quickly went to work, looking in to these empty hotels.  She was rather upset by their numbers and put together a spreadsheet of them, with details like number of rooms, any amenities they may have, and nearby landmarks.  She then grabbed her two dorks and marched to Casper High’s Community Outreach director.

Now Sam’s presentation raised a few eyebrows, mostly because it was in a completely different state, but Sam shot back that because of the efforts to incorporate the town’s new ghostly residents and provide them with helpful ways to feed their obsessions- efforts led by the Fenton family- Amity Park had very few homeless, and those that were had a huge community safety net to help them get back on their feet.  Additionally, with how many people moved between the city and the town, helping the city could be argued to also be helping the town.

The Outreach Director just sighed and gave Same the green light to at least draft and send out a proposal to the powers that be in Gotham, saying that there wasn’t much that could be done before they got backing and approval.  Sam thanked them before leaving, Danny and Tucker trailing behind.

She was back the next day with a draft of her proposal and a list of who to send it to.

Since returning from the dead in the eyes of the public, Jason Todd was often contacted by groups trying to use the Wayne fortune to fund their own personal projects.  They thought Jason would be the easiest to con- sorry, persuade- since he was a former street kid unlike the rest of his family.  Thus surely he would know just how much this new building with low income housing would help the people of Gotham- it even came with a pool and gym!

Yeah, he did know how much the people of Gotham needed housing, but $2K a month was not affordable when you’re barely making $30K a year!  Oh and the pool and gym were only available for those who could shell out an additional $2K a month.  Jason knows, he read the whole document carefully.

God, sometimes it was hard to tell who was worse, the psychos in Blackgate or real estate investors.  And sadly, he couldn’t just pop a bullet in their heads and be done with it because 1) it would raise too many questions and 2) it would make Bruce get all sad and mopey- again.  Jason just did not have the mental energy to put up with that on top of the rest of his life as a crimelord/vigilante/long-lost adoptive second son of a billionaire.

All this to say, he was not impressed when he first glanced over a proposal to convert the unused hotels around the city into housing units- especially since it was from someone that did not live in Gotham.

Manson?  Wasn’t there a family with that name that would attend some of Brucie’s galas?  Oh yeah, their family made its fortune off patenting the machine that wrapped toothpicks in plastic, as well as a couple others.  And they had a daughter around Repla- Tim’s age.  Hopefully this wasn’t her trying to be a kiss-ass like her parents.

Jason finished reading and sat back.  The proposal wasn’t too bad.  Converting hotels into apartment buildings would be easier than office buildings, and the suggestion to use ex-convicts that wanted to turn over a new leaf as building managers certainly wasn’t the worst.  Also creating a fund for those that couldn’t afford rent, as well as community kitchens and gardens were certain plusses, though would need to have the right people in charge to make sure they actually worked as planned, and to keep the Court of Owls from messing with it.

Overall, it was something Jason would consider, after some research and maybe talking with the rest of the Bats and Birds.  And if this was from the Manson kid, maybe get Dickie or one of the others to talk to her next time there was a gala in town.  Or talk to her himself, if the Pit wasn’t too loud.

…Dick was probably the better option to talk with her if it came down to it.

There's the first chapter. I'm going to go write the next one. When I have a good log of them, I'll then go and edit them and put them on AO3.

This has no title yet because I suck at naming. Feel free to comment with suggestions for a name, both for the fic/au and for the eventual hotel/co op. As well as any shinanegans and majors/colleges/universities for our liminal young adults.

#jirachi #as i'm queuing this up. i'm sorta. realizing that deoxys has four forms. and i'm wondering what to do about that #like. do i just choose normal form and go with that?? or do i do every single form?? or do all the forms in one post?? or what #this isn't about jirachi. i like jirachi and i think those theories about how bidoof actually caused all of pmd sky are pretty funny #and like. also weirdly reasonable. but i dunno if jirachi is the type to be like a genie. where when you make a wish he's like #o0o0o0o but there's a caAaAaAaAtch……… #i don't think. that's something jirachi does? so it's even funnier then bc it's like jirachi did that on TOTAL accident. but i find that #hard to believe. folks say it's like… he did that so that he could get bidoof some friends Naturally or whatever but i just don't feel like #he'd be the type. but maybe that's why he ends up in the expedition society later on. he felt so bad about ending the world just to help out #a rookie who wanted some friends that he dedicated himself to saving the world instead. which. is kinda sweet. and the whole reason i've #been he/him-ing him this whole time. bc that's what they do in psmd. where his boss battle theme is just a whole banger for no reason #anyway those are some fun theories. i have to figure out what to do for jirachi and also put some chicken in the slow cooker

This book I got to scan for otherkin talks about quantum physics-based magic. I literally cannot escape quantum physics-based magic systems. Can Guilty Gear just like give me a moment, ok, for getting me consistently into this mess. I need to throttle Dr. Paradigm. My brain is getting so wrinkled from having to learn about quantum theory and particle theory and Planck's Constant and Heisenberg's Principle and Bohr models... At least it's in English this time. I GUESS.

#textpost #I started doing the damn Khan Academy course on all this nonsense because I just know I'll have to deal with it more later #Might as know what the hell I'm reading about this time. Save me hours of researching I could spend PUMMELING PARADIGM #I don't really understand it as much as I wish I could but if I can at least ID the terms and the basic stuff then that's fine #If I know what I'm looking at then that's enough to bullshit my way through a project #Translating Japanese requires a lot of brain power but the only time I've ever had to really strain my neurons was #with Paradigms story from the Overture Material Collection #Reading about pseudoscience magic in a second language polar opposite your native one is like. Oh god why #I actually got headaches trying to figure that one out. It has minor errors. Some day I'll fix them

Gun x Krist – Fire Boy

aka flirtatious and playful song and dance cover that Thai BL fans absolutely need to see because this performance is fire, no pun intended 🤩 Gun's voice is so soft and sweet as well, and Krist is a king on any stage as usual 😋

This is the performance where this legendary photo was born:

#i'm in love with krist half husky voice and gun's fluid movements aww #the krist elements concert #krist perawat #gun atthaphan #i finally watched the concert and saved it to enjoy later #i was dumb to figure out the livestreaming so i was waiting for the date and time mentioned #but it ended up the date UNTIL you could watch it #so yeah i'm saving at least one concert for myself since there's no rerun anymore #but this performance AND THE PEBACA JAMMING TIME was so much fun #krist's all performances were very enjoyable and full of feelings but it goes without saying #so happy he managed to pull of having fun with singto offgun and taynew on his own concert #thai actors #bl actors #gmmtv #gmmtv boys #gmmtv actors

"No, no, don't apologize. Your constant complaining is music to my ears."

Sarah ignored him, squaring her shoulders as the rocks arranged themselves again. They didn't reach as high this time, but seemed like they would be a little bit more stable.

"Verily, my lady, art thou certain about proceeding with this endeavor? Ambrosius and I--"

"Ow!" So much for stability. She banged her knee as the stone that she'd stood on rolled backwards.

"Sorry," came the low, defeated roar.

"Oh, it's alright, Ludo. There's got to be another way to do this."

"Or you could just give up. And maybe let His Royal Highness win this one?"

"There is no honor in conceding defeat! Why I--"

Sarah tuned them out. She had known, before she'd even opened her mouth, that making a bet with the Goblin King would be a terrible idea. But she was tired of the goblins trampling her makeup and eating all her little brother's crayons. And if competing in the goblins' Chicken Olympics was what got them to stop, well, she had been willing to try it.

She just hadn't counted on needing to be able to fly. Or pretty much any of the rest of it.

This whole thing really wasn't fair. She should have known.

i'm a thalassa gramarye apologist. a significant part of the fandom keeps forgetting that she's a deeply traumatized woman who just got her memory (and sight!) back after years of living in the dark and in fear and guilt of being a horrible person without knowing it. just because she's a mother it doesn't mean that she must be perfect and that she doesn't get to heal before trying to be a part of her children's life again

#sorry but i think that this fandom is way more lenient when it comes to father (and father figures) than they are with mothers #everybody loves to hate and blame thalassa but no one ever speaks about how genuinely evil magnifi was #or zak and how shitty he was #and i could go on but i know what i have to say may be controversial #so i'll save it for later :) #is thalassa in the right for not telling her kids? no #do i understand her circumstances and see why she would decide to wait a little bit before telling them? absolutely #thalassa gramarye #aa4 #milusis #it's 1 am

now that it's the next day and im less annoyed, two things i thought was interesting in the mexican adaptation--

when the gaslighting arc starts, lety's like 'yeah we should go back to omar's place' and fernando, instead of being excited about it, he's scared bc she had told him various times she didn't want to bc of 'guilt'. so he's in the bathroom pacing, worried bc 'this isn't like her'. which i thought was funny.

when they go to the event and she tells him she needs to leave bc someone came to get her, he assumes its her dad and he immediately is like 'i'll talk to him' and she says 'no , it's tomas' and he grabs her hands and she pulls back and says 'ppl can see' and he says 'i dont care'. she insists she's leaving and he can't make her stay bc they're not at work. but he doesn't care and drags her away.

that is as 'dark' as the scene gets. bc the next scene its back to light hearted comedy where he's flirting with her again. they really don't want to go there with him (making him crazy), which is disappointing.

#im gonna rant here tho bc GOD the purity pr train in this insane and i never noticed it at 16 #i forgot about the psychic that wanders mexico city and hunts lety down to let her know there's a letter she needs to read #but not before saying that 'her love was pure and good' and that shes not a bad person #meanwhile fernando is buying her a single white rose bc it reminds him of her purity and innocence (im so sick to my stomach rn) #and then he tells her that when he gives it to her (if a man said to me i would never see him again) #and then when lety reads the letter she's asks the st judas figure (that the psychic gave her) #what she should do and why this happened to her and then her rose dies in like 5 seconds since he gave it to her magically #they really do frame it so the affair portion is his fault and only his fault by having the narrative insist that her love is not 'tainted' #like yes a lot of things are fernando's fault--the embargo caused by him and omar poor decisions and the making up a new company #to save his company was his idea but lety said yes at various times #when she could have said no #that's kind of the point--both taking responsibility later for their actions #they also dont want her to be 'bad' by having her talk to the st judas figure--like---Okay. (kill me) #anyway i need this version to go to jail or something

this isn't related to rgg at all but finding out you're also a fire emblem fan was great... first the mention of the ike figure then the insane por prices LMAO? i had no idea... what games have you played?

Back In My Day i was known as ‘the eliwood/elihec guy’ and on occasion The Ike Guy LOL but yeah…. Guilty as charged……

As for the games ive played ive played Shadow Dragon (DS remake), Shadows of Valentia, and then FE6-FE3H + FEW (minus Heroes of Light and Shadow)

im an asshole for playing on authentic software hence why i skipped out on FE1-FE5 but maybe one day ill stop being annoying and pick them up on an emulator. Or IntSYS remakes them <- doubtful (well. The rest of the JP-exclusive games anyway lol)

#snap chats #FE is like my DQ honestly LMAO i love the games so much #tho… cant say that nowadays… i havent played any of the new ones since FE3H #no particular reason aside from maybe not being too much of a fan of the art style #but i could just be a true geezer at heart and prefer the old pixel/portrait art of the 2000’s era #SoV’s portrait art is gorgeous tho. that games SOOOO good berkut’s still one of my fave antags to this day #oh but. in case you couldnt tell. FE7 was one of my faves to post for a while LMAO #it was the first game i got to play since my bro got it and let me play it #he also had sacred stones so i played that once i was done with FE7 #then i played brawl and fell in love with ike. as in Big Sword And He Punches/Kicks People #so….. i saved up to buy PoR and later Radiant Dawn (tho i got RD for. MUUUCH much cheaper) #and i mean i always thought marth was cute. And A Girl so when i was able to i got SD #not my favorite game ngl the cast was just. too huge and not memorable but i still love marth as a character #at some point i figured id try to play FE6 and bought a japanese copy (that i had ray chase sign actually) #the hit rate is fucking. ABYSMAL. and my JP was even worse than it is now BUT we got through it #the tellius games def have my fave cast and lore tho and i love the music. and Por do be on my baby the gamecube #and then i got awakening because my childhood bestie- who never played FE before- loved it a million so i figured why not #and then. My Insane Ass. she bought birthright and so of course i bought conquest #but then i heard about the removed features in the JP versions so i bought those and gave her my conquest copy #and then i paid her to homebrew my 3DS because I Am Stupid. so did i pay an obscene amount of money #to play Arguably the worst FE games Yes. but i got to use my ike amiibo so its ok :) #i love how i talk more bout fire emblem on my rgg blog than on my FE blog LMAO thats just how it be #but yeah those are my FE crimes thanks for listening LOL #i oughta cap it there i been talkin WAAAYYY too long LMAO

[stonersolana]

when you explain that you're looking for compassion and believing in the best in each other in a relationship and that you felt it was inappropriate to bring up how someone else's issues (they are unrelated to the problem) were worse and more valid than yours and that you have no right to be upset because you're the villain for things that they misunderstood you doing or just did themselves and blamed you for. they also accuse you of being codependent with your needs. so you try to repeat yourself on your expectations and boundaries in friendships (i will accept no less than someone at least putting in the effort or having the desire to have a healthy friendship) and that there was so much she did that i never asked for nor wanted but i accepted it because i didn't want to seem ungrateful so whatever codependency she felt we had must have been one sided because i explicitly remembered that i never made her responsible for my mental well-being, i did not actually like that she treated me like a child and i had been complaining about that for years in our friendship especially near the end of it. i was an adult and didn't appreciate being treated like a child. but i went along with it because i was willing to let her get away with it if that's what she felt she needed from our friendship. so i sent her a basic infographic about healthy relationships and how they work and noted that the things i had asked for were just basic healthy relationship things and that i have never at any point in our friendship wanted her to take care of me. i wanted us to be equals. she told me that she wasn't willing to put in that amount of effort for anyone and how her boyfriend is her family and her life and her purpose and how friends just weren't really a priority at all and they certainly never got close to the level of importance as her romantic relationship. like... she literally disagreed with treating people with basic respect because friendship wasn't worth that effort. so i told her i hope she heals that wound in her heart and that she can eventually move on from whatever caused it but that i refused to settle for less than a healthy friendship just because she doesn't know how to love anyone fully or put aside her pride. that i genuinely hope she heals and has a good life but to never contact me again because i don't care to see it. that whatever is going on with her that she's been running away from isn't my problem for her to project onto me. she doesn't get to assume my intentions or thoughts or feelings about anything when she never asked me once. but fine, she has every right to think whatever she wants about me regardless of how true it is because I'm not responsible for her feelings, especially not now and i would genuinely appreciate it if she never spoke to me again.

people in the thick of amanormativity who haven't deconstructed relationships with others who are strict monogamists are so fucking exhausting.

#sunbun speaks #thing 1 #i had been basically asking the same thing over and over for like 2 days because she would talk around the question #and never actually answered it so i just kept asking in different more clarifying ways #and we eventually got to her admitting that she only saw me as a child and that she always felt responsible for my feelings #and that she felt like she always had to fix me because i was helpless #and how that was MY fault because how could i FORCE her to watch me fail or starve or die #like... unless i specifically ask you for help with a problem just assume i don't want help #i wasn't forcing her to watch anything. i withdrew and hid in my room for the most part and never asked for her charity #that she would later use to insult me #i have been saying for YEARS that i do NOT want someone to save me or protect me from shit #how i just want someone to be there to go 'yeah wow that sucked. okay lets brush the dust off and try again later.' #like she literally would just do shit that i never asked for or wanted then got mad at me for 'forcing' her to do it #and i had to act grateful or she would call me difficult #by the end of the conversation i honestly just felt burnt out and pity #i should have found a way to discourage her more or just not accept what she was doing #i thought at least some of the stuff she did came from genuine care for me so it was easier to accept the rest because i figured #that it came from a place of love #but nope #i was just a project she couldn't fix that she scrapped despite me never asking her to fix me #i don't care if this makes sense #my super feminist best friend turned into a self-righteous tradwife with little compassion for others and even less for me #and built up this person in her head of who i was without ever asking me about any of it #so i'm just a ball of emotions rn #also there was the lowkey ableism despite her claiming to be neurodivergent (her only previous claim is that she #'had some autistic traits' and 'none of it ever effected me enough to be a hindrance on her life' #so it kind of felt like she only mentioned it to discredit how much autism and add makes me struggle #then there's just the fact that she 'didn't care' that i needed a cane to walk until it wasn't fun anymore and there wasn't an upside #she feels very much like a conservative wearing the skin of a leftist #like she parrots shit about anti ableism while being ableist and using her own mental illness as a shield against criticism

[ridiasfangirlings]

How do you think a time loop would work in k project? Like which point would you choose to start the loop at and which character out of the entire cast excluding yata and fushimi would you pick to be stuck in the time loop? Im writing a fic with this premise and ive chosen chitose and im thinking of either the day totsuka dies or the day after with the loop concluding every time mikoto dies lmao so im interested to see what youd pick for yourself.

'Excluding Yata and Fushimi' how dare you put this in hard mode D: The start of the time loop would I think depend on whether you want Totsuka's death to be avoidable or not. If the loop starts on the day of Totsuka's death, and by 'day' that would mean morning before, then obviously the first step in trying to change things would involve keeping Totsuka from going to that rooftop. While obviously my bias would be to have someone from the Blue clan doing the loop I think if we're putting the start of the loop in a spot where Totsuka's death is something of a catalyst then it would make most sense to have a Red clan member be the one starting the loop. I'm thinking either Kusanagi or Anna would probably be my pick, Kusanagi for the 'time loop to avoid all your friends being dead' end of things or Anna because of how things go in Missing Kings and how close she is to Mikoto and Totsuka. In both cases I can imagine the loop having two main points that need to be avoided: Totsuka needs to survive and then, by extension, Mikoto needs to survive, but at the same time they can't lose any other members either, like say the loop covers the time from when Totsuka originally died to when Mikoto died on the island. Actually rather than a Groundhog Day style loop it could be interesting to follow something similar to how Summertime Render's time loop works, where the character who's the main point of the time loop can 'reset' things by dying themselves but the catch is that the start of the loop continually shifts forward with each subsequent loop, so anything that's happened prior to that loop is now set in stone and can't be changed.

In this case I think I'd choose Kusanagi for the time looper (because Anna's a kid and has had enough trauma), like maybe when the time loop starts he decides to go to the roof with Totsuka in order to shuttle him away before Colorless can get there. Unfortunately Colorless still meets them coming down from the building, Kusanagi pushes Totsuka out of the way and ends up getting shot himself. Poor Totsuka is obviously upset, calling Mikoto and a little frantic as he tells Kusanagi to hold on while Kusanagi tries to tell Totsuka to make sure Mikoto doesn't do anything drastic this time, like at the very least if Kusanagi can change things so that both his friends survive then he'll feel like this death was worth it. Moments later though the loop restarts and now Kusanagi and Totsuka are on their way to the roof, Kusanagi stops Totsuka and suggests they go get a drink first instead. Kusanagi convinces Totsuka to stop at this nearby late night cafe and they stay there until it's past the time that Colorless left the rooftop, thus avoiding Totsuka's death in this timeline and Kusanagi thinks everyone's been saved. But then maybe this starts a whole new mess of problems, like Colorless still has interest in Mikoto and isn't going to just give up so he keeps trying to target Mikoto's people and say other characters end up dying as a result. Maybe in this loop Colorless crashes Weismann's airship directly into Bar Homra killing half the Homra members including Anna and Yata, and severely wounding Kusanagi. Kusanagi dies again but the loop starts once more, now the start point being when he and Totsuka are about to enter the cafe from earlier, and Kusanagi starts to realize what's going on here.

So from this point it's basically Kusanagi just desperately trying to stay ahead of what Colorless is doing at any given moment and doing his level best to keep Totsuka and Mikoto from dying (and imagine Totsuka in particular keeps dying pretty constantly, like the universe is just out to get him that way and Kusanagi is affected each time but then at the same time there's this exasperated 'not again' aspect to it too). I imagine he would try to keep this to himself just because he doesn't want to dump these worries on everyone else but it would be nice if he had allies too, like Anna figures out what's going on due to her powers and decides to help him in whatever way she can. This could actually be a good point to bring in the Silvers too, like particularly I'm thinking if the original loop started maybe right after Mikoto died in S1 originally while Kusanagi knows more or less what's going on with Shiro there was a lot he wasn't privy to as well. So while Shiro, Kuroh and Neko are running around trying to avoid Scepter 4 and Homra, Kusanagi is trying to find them and broker some kind of truce so that they can help defeat Colorless and keep Mikoto and Totsuka alive. And every time Kusanagi loops his time moves up, so he's also just trying to keep a step ahead of his own fate, knowing that at some point everything will be set in stone and once again lose things that he can't afford to lose.

#k project #Kusanagi Izumo #Talking K #friendly reminder that all kusanagi's friends are dead #but maybe he could save them! #I like the idea of the Summertime Render loop vs Groundhog Day loop bc of the amount of time we're covering here #Groundhog Day loop could get repetitive starting with day one over and over again #especially if it restarts after like two weeks have passed and now they have to do it all over again from square one #like let those earlier days matter #though Groundhog Day loop would be funnier bc Kusanagi could have one day where he just gets sick of Totsuka dying all the time #so he lets everything bad happen that could possibly happen and figures let the gods sort this one out I'll reset later

staying up past midnight working on fanart is an integral part of summer to me

#i don't even know when i'll share this piece #it's turning out good but like. do i wanna post it once i finish it? or should i put it in the fic #idk i'll figure it out later #though i don't think i'm finishing the fic this week -_- #i didn't do any writing today And i decided to save my sister from my overbearing grandma via volunteering to go a day earlier #so i leave tomorrow and while i definitely could bring my laptop it's annoying to do so because of its charger #but it's that or not being able to do Any work on the fic for a whole week. so i'll have to suck it up #gloomy.txt
