I think that c!Jimmy liked being a Bad Boy and a Big Dog because for once in this series a role let him be reckless without being mocked/put down by his allies and without truly harming anyone through the risks he took. In this essay I will explore his character through this lens

Jimmy is an extremely optimistic character, almost always seen smiling and laughing about whatever’s going on. Not in the sense that he laughs when he’s nervous, but in the sense that he makes light of whatever scenario he’s in. On a deeper level, this also translates into overconfidence in a glass-half-full type of way. If there’s a chance a plan could go south, he only focuses on the potential benefit. If there’s a chance he loses a fight, he only focuses on winning

This isn’t to say he’s unaware of negative outcomes, he just chooses to ignore them. The result is him making poor decisions over, and over, and over again. Jimmy knows exactly why he did that but from an outside perspective he’s regarded as stupid

This is seen as early as 3rd life, with Scott practically putting him on a leash to stop him from fighting Ren and his army. Specifically when they manage to chase Dogwarts away from Joel’s base, Jimmy goes to give chase and Scott immediately stops him. They’ve won, and he doesn’t understand why Jimmy would push it further. Jimmy, on the other hand, is thinking about how they’ve been chased across the map like rabbits and knows DW will be back unless they establish themselves as a threat. Now’s the perfect time, since they have the upper hand

But again, Scott doesn’t see this. In his mind, the battle is won and they shouldn’t expend more time, energy, or resources on it. Ultimately he doesn’t want to see Jimmy hurt and believes that restricting what Jimmy does will protect him from harm

I think this shows a fundamental difference in how they interact with the world. Scott’s more practical- he only does what he feels is necessary and is humble enough to know when the risk isn’t worth the reward. Jimmy, on the other hand, wants to test the limits and see what he’s able to accomplish through, once again, taking unnecessary risks.

But this is where things get messy

Again, there is a fundamental difference in their thought processes. This causes them to clash, and since Scott is the one who held more “power” in the relationship (being the one to decide many aspects of their base and being the one to make most deals and plans for the both of them), resulted in Scott putting Jimmy down A Lot. This started with Jimmy returning from the desert without several of the armor pieces he left with and continued throughout the war.

Jimmy, in response to this treatment, started acting More reckless as a means to prove himself. He wanted to be seen as just as strong, smart, and capable as the people around him. Ultimately, he wanted to be respected in his own right, and that didn’t really happen this season!

Nor did it happen in LL,

LL was an entire mess for so many reasons and most of it was due to the game mechanic itself. Lives being treated as currency caused rifts in many alliances, especially the Southlands

This coupled with the fact that Jimmy is already back in 3L habits, trying to prove himself constantly, makes an incredibly messy situation. His efforts in monopolizing sugar cane are downplayed and mocked, he spends so much time getting spyglasses just for Mumbo to lose them. These are meant to be harmless jokes (and really, they are) but Jimmy’s coming off of an unbalanced power dynamic and a tiny bit of it eats away at him and he can’t figure out Why.

Jimmy doesn’t understand why he doesn’t feel valued in the team, so he starts looking at arbitrary reasons Why. The reason he settles on is the life count, with Grian’s death making it known that Yellow-Names are on the brink of being exiled.

This comes back to the game mechanic. Jimmy sees Martyn with four lives, with the ability to either a) bring Grian back to Yellow or b) offer a Yellow-Name in the alliance a life to keep them safe, and Martyn Doesn’t. This tells Jimmy that Martyn either doesn’t trust him or doesn’t value him enough to even attempt to protect him

I think this was even voiced a couple of times during LL, with Martyn closely guarding his lives and finding every reason he could to justify it (he was fully in the right for keeping them, even if doing so hurt others). Jimmy backed off, but there was just a small amount of bitterness that lingered

With Martyn, I think Jimmy picked up on the fact that Martyn was more concerned with protecting his Alliance than the people in it. He needed a group around him, but wasn’t terribly concerned with them otherwise

And that’s what fueled his decision to steal the life. If Martyn doesn’t respect him, if he doesn’t trust him, if he doesn’t care enough to protect him, why should Jimmy do the same. Why should he be a human shield for someone who barely looks his way. Impulse and Mumbo could stay if they wanted, but he wasn’t going to

Which makes it hurt so much more when Martyn asks to run away with him, when Martyn says he cares about Jimmy more than anyone else in the alliance. I want to remind you, Jimmy’s an optimist. He looks at the half-full cup. He doesn’t consider Martyn could be lying because he wanted so badly to just be Seen. So Jimmy gives it back

As it turns out, Martyn was lying. He calls him an idiot, and Jimmy is exiled immediately

All the resolve that Jimmy had in stealing the life crumbles then and there. He starts hanging around the Southlands alliance like a lost puppy, basically begging them to take him back. Martyn’s little ruse inadvertently showed Jimmy that, really, all he wanted is to be valued and supported. The life counts stops being an issue because he’s able to recognize the real issue- he feels undervalued and he feels stupid

That’s a factor even after the Southlands reunites, after he’s almost unanimously voted back in but Grian’s insistent on a recount. I think it’s the main reason why he’s so risky when he goes down to red- with him falling for a trap that he easily could have avoided

Again, it’s the same as 3L. He feels disrespected and undervalued so he takes unnecessary risks in order to prove to himself and to others that he’s just as strong, just as smart, and just as capable as they are.

This is later coupled with Mumbo’s extreme bloodlust when he turns Red. On Red, Mumbo was needlessly violent and is basically the only Red to swing at anything that moved. And I do mean Needlessly violent, he got himself and others into several dicey scenarios because he was impulsive and wanted to Stab. He gave the server a reason to be cautious of Mumbo and any other Red-Name. If Mumbo was a loose cannon, how would others be?

Except Mumbo was only aggressive towards Non-Reds (obviously) and was otherwise supportive of those on his side

I think this actually greatly influenced Skizz’s decision to leave BEST behind, with him seeing Mumbo as someone worth defending/standing by. Not only was he a visibly strong ally with a reputation, he genuinely cared for and supported those who were at his side. In Skizz’s case, he offered a source of stability where BEST couldn’t, and I think the same is true for Jimmy.

Jimmy sees this, and sees Mumbo as someone who can both show him how to be dangerous and respect his abilities in this game. Mumbo was respected as a threat and genuinely cared for those in his company. So he’s the perfect ally, right?

Actually, no, and this isn’t where the Skizz comparison ends either. Remember, Mumbo created the reputation that Reds are a worthy threat and that they’re violent without cause (“oh but what about Joel?” Joel was a joke at best and an annoyance at worst. He I think he definitely did influence Mumbo’s actions but that’s another essay entirely). Mumbo influenced Skizz’s aggression this season, with him becoming more bold in who he threatened or even attacked

So how does this compare to Jimmy? Both of them were coming off of alliances where they were unsupported, so they leaned more into Mumbo’s habits- good and bad. Except they didn’t really see it. Good traits were associated with Mumbo, their friend, and bad traits were associated with their shared condition, their Red-Life.

The plan to trap the bunker played on both, but was coupled with Jimmy’s bad habit of shooting for the best possible outcome. Mumbo had previously turned tail and ran whenever a plan went south, but that’s not how Jimmy is. Jimmy only focuses on the possible gain and ignores possible dangers. When the trap didn’t set off, he insisted on pushing Grian into it. And that actually goes back to him trying to chase Ren’s army- he didn’t know when to call it quits

And of course this causes both of their deaths. To Jimmy, his death caused Mumbo’s. He caused the death of the one ally who actually stood by him. I think this is when he fully internalizes criticism from 3L and LL as a whole. He feels weak, he feels stupid, he doesn’t feel nearly as capable as those around him.

And this carries into DL

Except DL was a much different season than the previous two. The soulmate mechanic in DL meant that you and your ally have to rely on each other, you have to support each other because failing to do so will surely spell your doom

Not only that, but Jimmy was finally paired with a supportive ally from the start. They made their base together because they trusted the other to build more than they trusted themself. When Jimmy came back with cows, Tango’s immediate response was to exclaim “you’re amazing!!!” Instead of criticizing him like previous alliances had- even back in 3L!! This is the first time Jimmy got a fully positive response to his efforts. Tango was overwhelmingly supportive towards Jimmy and Jimmy returned the favor. The base didn’t look perfect, but it was theirs. The server didn’t want them to have a horn so they devised a plan to get one.

Tango had also been following a similar arc up until now- with him being undervalued by his alliances. Except in those alliances, he was pushed to the side or physically harmed instead of being an object of ridicule. I think this is part of why it isn’t really out of place for them to meet through dying. Tango was expecting to be harmed and so was Jimmy, so neither of them blame the other

With Tango being pushed to the side, he also shied away from leadership positions, finding it more comfortable to follow. This paired well with how Jimmy typically takes charge of things, with Jimmy making most plans for the both of them (most, not all)

But again, this is where things get messy

Remember, Jimmy uses risks to prove his worth. He wants to see what he can do, but is also still recovering from previous seasons. He still thinks he’s the reason why him and Mumbo died, and doesn’t want to cause the death another ally, especially one who loves him. Instead of staying careful, he devises a plan to steal livestock, to steal Scar’s horse. It’s for the ranch, it’s for Tango

I think Jimmy realizes the problem when the Ranch is burned. He’s forced to confront this when he sees Tango fly into a rage and almost try to fight a group of people he’d surely lose to. Jimmy cannot be reckless here, he has to talk Tango down from the proverbial ledge.

With this, the roles end up reversing, with Tango being the reckless one and Jimmy trying to steer him to be more tactical. And Jimmy is So careful about this too, not wanting to act like Scott or the Southlands. Because of that he never actually tells Tango no on his dangerous plans- ESPECIALLY the plan to release Rancher’s Revenge, the warden- but instead suggests ways to make the plan better

The dilemma here is that Jimmy needs to choose between being risky and being safe. Both would benefit Tango, except Jimmy knows from experience how much it hurts to be bound in bubble-wrap all the time

Jimmy sees no way to avoid risks without hurting Tango. So instead of fighting against that part of himself, Jimmy leans into it. He accepts it as a key tenet of his identity, even as it puts the both of them in harms way. Yes they went down in the end, but they went down together, Always Together.

It didn’t matter if Jimmy was a “worthy” ally, he didn’t need to be Smart, he didn’t need to be Strong, he didn’t even need to be Capable. He learned that he deserved love not in spite of his flaws, but alongside his flaws.

And this is the lesson he carries into the next two Seasons, with both alliances being fully centered on being reckless

The Bad Boys acted dangerously, but they acted as a unit- ESPECIALLY him and Joel. Bad Boys dig straight down, Bad Boys water bucket clutch from the build limit, Bad Boys care about each other not in spite of endangering themselves, but because of it

And this is because Joel had a nearly identical arc. Joel in previous seasons had a habit of acting recklessly in the same way Jimmy did, and was cast aside because of it. In 3L he ended up a Lone Wolf, in LL he was forced into a position where he’s the villain, and in DL he and Etho leaned into the danger in the same way Jimmy and Tango did. Their stories run parallel so it only makes sense that they’re the ones who end up supporting each other in LimL

And Joel was Jimmy’s main source of support that season, with Grian representing the criticism of previous seasons. This gave Jimmy the ability to confront said criticisms through, again, leaning into them. He did something stupid? Yes, but him and Joel were having fun. A plan went south because of unnecessary risks? Yes, but Joel was being risky with him. Joel gave Jimmy the ability to basically cut through the aforementioned “bubble wrap” Grian was trying to put around them

And I think it’s also important to mention Grian did this out of both love and cowardice, not malice. Ultimately he didn’t want to lose either of them and was trying to keep them alive longer. But because Grian never learned the lesson they did- that it’s more important to act together than to survive alone- Grian chooses survival and ends up alone.

Anyways, recklessness being the foundation of Jimmy’s alliances carries into SL as well

Jimmy was on the brink of death for almost the entire season, man was not thriving whatsoever and that was known. Funnily enough, he ends up with Martyn, who again was previously more concerned with his own safety than the people around him

But Martyn is just coming off of a victory, of finally achieving the very thing he’d been working towards and the thing he centered his motivations on. Without that goal, he’s left with his methods- which was mostly having dangerous ideas and seeing them through

With Jimmy, Martyn introduced plans that involved them being risky and in everyone else’s faces. This, to Jimmy, echoed both Joel and Tango’s behavior. He was able to fully settle into the fact that, for him, good things come from being reckless, from shooting for the best possible outcome and refusing to back down

Jimmy maintains his optimism and his recklessness, traits that had previously been challenged but traits he stubbornly holds onto and values in his Life

#someone pointed out that the only psychoanalyses of this man are abt the curse #and I might be making an amv specifically About The Curse but goddamnit I can’t let him be done dirty like this #will actually write the essay so if you come back to this and there’s a wall of text that’s why #edit essay is written #trafficblr #jimmy solidarity #traffic smp #grian #scott smajor #mumbo jumbo #skizzleman #martyn inthelittlewood #tango tek #if you want the canary curse tie in- #it greatly factors into the image of him being weak and lacking value #that’s why he fights so hard against it #he needs to prove that he has value and he needs to prove that he isn’t worthless because of his shortcomings #long post

A quick note about Giraffe Class!

In Episode 2, Miss Anna informs some mothers that Miri will be joining Giraffe Class:

Miri joins Giraffe Class on the 6th of February. As the Japanese school year begins in April, I thought that it would have made sense for Miri to be in a new class in later episodes.

However, in Episode 9, which takes place in August 2023, we see that Miri is now in the senior class:

Evidently, the senior class has:

1) Maintained the name 'Giraffe Class' and

2) As seen in Episode 10, maintained Miss Anna as its teacher:

We also see that Giraffe Class has an incredible teacher-to-child ratio; there are only 15 kids in the class (though I assume that Aozora Daycare is an establishment that people pay fees to — in Episode 5, one of the family's expenses is listed as 'Education').

For comparison, the teacher-to-child ratio in the UK, for children who are Miri's age, is one teacher to every 30 kids:

[Text: Reception classes in maintained schools and academies are subject to infant class size legislation. The School Admissions (Infant Class Size) Regulations 2012 limit the size of infant classes to 30 pupils per school teacher (subject to permitted exceptions) while an ordinary teaching session is conducted.]

Source: Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (2021); Department for Education

(This excludes support staff, but still — the stuff you discover when making a Buddy Daddies post!)

So! From my experience, infant schools around here sometimes have thematic names and kids move from one class to the next when the school year ends. For instance, a school that uses a bird-based theme might start off with something like 'Canary Class' for children in Nursery (aged 3-4); the canaries then move up to the 'Robin Class' when they're 4-5 years old (in the UK, we call that Reception). Typically, the children will have a new teacher each academic year, but there are some instances where teachers will stick with their pupils as the kids grow up.

Given how detail-oriented Buddy Daddies has been so far, I'd like to think that Miri still being in Giraffe Class wasn't just an oversight on the part of the writing team and actually a deliberate decision — though, of course, it would have been pretty disruptive to the storyline to introduce a new teacher.

Thoughts upon finishing dungeon meshi? I didn't expect to fall in love with this series and about to reread it all over again cause I know there's tons of details I missed on the first time around

many thoughts... head full...

i was spoiled for a lot of the stuff in the end because that's what happens when you jump headlong into a fandom without finishing the media, but there were some things that took me by surprise, which i was grateful for. i was shielding my partner from spoilers the whole time as well, because they actively upset him and i didn't want any of the stuff i knew to ruin the reveal for him. outside of one thing (laios becoming king), he actually avoided it all!

but, like, on the whole? fuck, man. there aren't many medias i hold in such high regard.

i loved every single character in the entire story. yes, even the ones who sucked; they sucked in compelling and well-written ways. i fell hard for kabru and mithrun, and love them so much, which surprised me. like, i could write essays about kabru, i fucking love the guy. don't let the chilaios posting fool you. but i also fucking adore namari and shuro, who seemed so insignificant in the very beginning. i loved every break we got to see them, or the canaries, or kabru's party.

and our main cast... izutsumi exceeded expectations in every possible way and i can't get enough of her. senshi's backstory was heartbreaking and added a depth to him i hadn't anticipated at all. falin, despite being fridged for the majority of the story, was such an important part of it all that she permeates every inch of the tale, and her survival by the end is an emotionally momentous occasion--and she's so incredible in the moments we get to spend with her!! marcille is so richly complex and amazing to watch, whether she's struggling or dominating the scene, and her love for those close to her is beautiful; we all know she loves falin, but the depths of her affection for the others, especially laios, was amazing.

and, like, you know how i feel about chilchuck and laios. but i will say laios's arc by the end of the manga blew me the fuck away. the things he had to sacrifice to save those he loved... the way he was revealed to hate humanity, yet we know he's always kind? that the people he loves most are humans? the way he did, in the end, accept his role as king, to guide and protect people?

laios doesn't get fixed by the narrative. much like falin, he merely changes, and whether it's for the better or not isn't always clear. but his friends love him, and he's respected, even though the oddities that have been pointed out about him the entire time have gone nowhere. and i think that's fucking incredible.

ryoko kui is a master at showing and not telling. from the small actions characters perform that are never brought up in the text to the things you can trace back through the story as having always been implied, the story remains deep and compelling all the way through, building an entire world and the lives of its characters up as it goes. there was not an inch of this work that wasn't given thought and care.

i loved dungeon meshi from start to finish. nothing i've been into in the past long, long while has been so consistently well done. i'm excited to see what trigger does with it, and what else ryoko kui might do post-canon, and perhaps most of all, where the fandom takes it. it's been such a blast to engage with and i'm so glad i gave it a chance.

The other day I rediscovered this letter from my paternal grandfather to my grandma, written a few days after my aunt (their first child) was born in 1940. He died several years before I was born so I never really know what to call him when I talk about him (grandpa? granddad? probably not granddad, that was my mom's dad), and honestly I don't have a good idea of what he was like, personality-wise. But his voice in this letter is SO MUCH like my dad's, it's kind of eerie. and nice, to feel that sense of recognition in the writing of someone I never knew. :)

Anyway, I think it's a pretty special letter, so I wanted to archive it here so I don't forget about it again. (And that last paragraph - damn, Johnny!!!)

Hullo -

Probably seems silly to try to write you after you're tired of seeing me perched at your shoulder, but there might be more of a chance to "see" you alone this way than going to visit you in a semi-unprivate room (even with the post-election bedlam that's raging around here).

True called a little while ago suggesting a plan for your homecoming. Didn't go into it too much but I did mention that we had better find out when you were going to finish your stretch before arranging for your parole. Seems that Mrs. Lape is having kaffe klatch on Wednesday.

Hope you're feeling as well as you looked last night. So far as I could see you were my same old boss once again and it was good to see. I suppose it's rather foolish to mention how much the dog, cat, canary, and goldfish all miss you - oh, yes, and me too.

Stayed home last night. I think it was the first time I've really sat down in the house since Sunday night. When I looked around, I thought I was in strange quarters. Mrs. Peterson waylayed me on my way out this morning to ask about you. Acted very concerned.

Tuesday night, dad asked me if I would stop down to the house again tonight. I don't know yet whether I will or not. To admit being completely mercenary, I might go down just to see if there is a present available. Nice thing to say, huh?

Has it penetrated that square skull yet, that the status quo no longer exists? I don't think I realize it entirely although it's beginning to seep in gradually that the word daddy means somebody besides Mr. Richard F. It is a very attractive feeling to me. How do you like?

I'm afraid that the noise I mentioned earlier has me licked. I haven't the faintest idea what I've written you so mebbe I'd better stop trying and wait til I see you tonight.

One thing that I have already found out is that when one love is divided into two parts - very unmathematically - neither part is smaller than the original shipment. Sounds screwy but mebbe it can be enlarged upon in pusson sometime.

See you a lot

Pop (Pap? unclear)

#see you a lot :) #when i told my dad how much this letter reminded me of his own writing he was like - you mean overly complicated? wordy? flowery? #and...yeah! kind of!! #but i get the feeling they both put a lot of care and thought into their writing. maybe too much! but it's there. #family #from the archives

[sanguine-elf]

Before we get started, darling, let's lay some ground rules, hm?

This is an open ask/rp blog for Astarion of Baldur's Gate 3, accepting sfw and nsfw prompts, asks, tags, and requests. Mun is over 18, and no nsfw will be done with anyone under 18.

My Astarion is as close to canon as I can make him, but my version, so that includes his taste in people and things, his pansexuality, his moral compass, and his attitude.

I tend to write in method format, which cuts down on a lot of narration as well as posts and interactions irrelevant to the blog. Examples of other blogs I've run include Jumin Han and Fenris.

All posts will be written in third person, present tense, with minimal narration, so to interact with the blog, I would prefer interactions be written somewhat similarly, eg.

"Hah! What's with that look? As if this is the first time you've seen me do something--unethical. You act like I'm not the cat always looking to eat the canary."

Or

(wrinkles his nose) You are absolutely demented! Does one of us have to whip you to keep you from acting like an animal? Whatever is in your mouth, drop it!

However, if you really hate the above, I will match your style to make it consistent, unless it's tiny text/avatar. Over under, I prefer substance over formatting and style.

All Tavs/Companions/NPCs should give their name so their posts/threads can be tagged appropriately.

I don't currently have any exclusives, but they will be added here when I do, including any rule changes and updates.

rules: -18+ only. no minors. -my vash's main verse (and appearance) is post-stampede s1 with early trimax inspiration. some interactions/threads may occur pre-stampede or during stampede, but the stampede timeline is a constant. -doubles okay and encouraged. -n/s/f/w sometimes and only with 21+ muns. will be properly tagged and placed under a read more when intense. -rp style: multiparagraph preferred with small text. i've been moving away from using icons as my muse develops and takes its own image, but don't let that intimidate you from using icons yourself! -oc rp is friend only and very selective. -if you are a multifandom multimuse i likely will not follow back unless you're serious about plotting threads and keeping them going. i prefer to keep my dash trigun and friends' threads only. i also don't enjoy short, shallow interactions without any development. sorry. -if you run both a trigun character rp blog and a character from another media, we can talk about crossover interactions after we get to know each other. i do not want to do research in order to rp with you, otherwise it is too difficult to write. the same rule applies to extreme canon divergence/aus. i dont mind joining them after we know each other, but again, don't expect me to research everything unless i explicitly tell you i will. -not interested in drama. -shipping is by discussion only. flirtation is fine, but if we're shipping, we gotta be friends. -multiship and polygun friendly. each rp partner will get their own 'verse.' this allows us to best develop our muses and plot stuff together. i dont mind combining these personal verses with others though (for instance, we are a vash and wolfwood, but we want to add a meryl. that kind of thing) -this blog is not k/v / plantc*st / plant wo*d friendly. do not expect me to follow you back if you are interested in the ship. i will not start drama about this decision, and it is non-negotiable. -will tag common triggers not present in trigun. blood, violence, and alcohol will not be tagged. i try to read bios for personal triggers, but please let me know if it's extremely serious/common/i mess up. -lastly, i am very patient. i do not mind if you take a long time to reply. don't feel pressured if you haven't replied to something in a long time, but if possible i would like it if you kept in touch. i likely will not ever hassle you for replies out of courtesy.

m!a status: open anons: open random starters: open

threads preferred, but short interactions will happen.

Please read my full About and Rules pages before following. I'm pretty open, but I do have some basic things.

I have an RP wishlist if you're not sure where to start with me; feel free to ask me about any of it or send an ask with a starter!

[criticalrolo]

If all your current PCs were on a cross-country road trip together, what would their role be? (Ex: driver, navigator, music, person in the trunk, etc.)

Oh amazing question, I'll use all the PCs I've played from the campaigns I'm in right now

Osvald is in the front seat, driving very carefully, following every law to the letter and asking if everyone could keep it down back there. He's driving this carefully because there's been a warrant out for his arrest for like, two decades and he's been avoiding the police and the government that whole time

Sigrun is navigating, has the map unfolded in front of her and she keeps putting her feet up on the dash while she talks to Osvald. She also keeps turning around to get involved in the conversations happening in the backseat and Osvald has to remind her to tell him the directions every 10 minutes

Thalia is actively explaining pop culture to Remus, who is extremely out of touch and has no social media presence whatsoever. She's helping him make an instagram and a twitter and texting his wife for pictures of them to post. Remus is writing everything she says down in his magical notebook and trying to get a Good Grade In Pop Culture Knowledge, a very normal thing to want and possible to achieve.

Meanwhile, Benelor has been looking out the window just hanging out silently. He asks if he can be on aux, and when he gets handed the cord immediately puts on Metallica. Sigrun is DELIGHTED while everyone else HATES it and after one song that nearly deafens Osvald the aux gets passed back to Thalia for the rest of the trip.

(Caliope, who is guest starring as an NPC, is in the trailer they're pulling with Daisy the horse and Persephone the canary. She's keeping in touch via the Message cantrip)

hi! op of the skrunkfest post here! I saw your tags about the fake wikipedia article and wondering how I made it, so i thought i’d send you a message about the process✌️i didn’t use anything so fancy as photoshop or the official editor, I just modified the pre-existing text of the real Lollapalooza wikipedia article with my browser’s inspect element tool, which also helped me get the tone and content fleshed out too because I could use a real festival as a framework! and also luckily the picture on the lollapalooza wiki is of miley cyrus performing with blonde hair in black clothes so I was able to pass her off as black canary 😂

imo inspect element is a really cool tool that doesn’t require any bells and whistles beyond like a desktop browser and some trial and error, and it has some super fun applications (like making fake music festival wikis), so if you want to know more I’m really happy to write up a quick tutorial on how I did it!

OMG thank you so much! I didn't even think about using inspect page! I don't really NEED a tutorial, but I would love to read it if you'd like to share! In any case, great job on the post and the screenshot 💜💜💜💜💜

See, the super hero crossover fic is so much fun to write because I can do this...

Green Arrow's voice came over the earpiece. "In position."

"Black Canary in position," his partner said, and Luz could only see her because she knew exactly where to look.

Amity's voice followed. "Abomination in position."

"All right," Luz said. "Give me a moment to get this shield in place and wait for the signal." She grinned and flew up into the air above the warehouse, letting herself slip off of Stringbean so she could use the palisman to cast a shield around the warehouse.

That done, and ignoring Amity's replies of "What signal? What signal, Luz?" the human witch cast an amplification spell on her phone, opened up her playlist, and pressed play.

As soon as the other heroes heard the song, they knew what the signal was.

-------

Inside the Intergang warehouse, one of the gang members loading a truck full of alien rifles paused.

"Anyone else hear Kesha?"

"Here is the horrible truth of it, cover to cover: for as long as Steve can remember, the entire universe began and ended with James Buchanan Barnes. It spun on the axis of them. But then James Buchanan Barnes fell miles into a frozen ravine, and the universe, in an act of unspeakable cruelty, kept spinning on."

😭😭😭
