Batcows and millionaires

Of all the things he could do on a Wednesday night, Danny didn't think he'd be following the last wishes of a ghost cow but life takes its twists and turns.

With Wulf's help and a lot of persuasion he managed to translate what the spirit was trying to tell him, apparently "Batcow" wasn't meant to be a ghost, but neither did she wish to leave her former owner alone.

She was worried about him, how he would take it, and refused to leave until the Ghost King himself promised to take care of Damian and let him know she was in a better place. Again, Danny could have refused her request, but he thought about Cujo, he thought about how he followed him everywhere, about the time the GIW captured him and almost killed him, and he understood a little, so he agreed.

So, the Ghost King ended up in the back of a mansion (of course the owner had to be a millionaire, damn it, couldn't he be a farmer?), watching Damian Wayne stare at the barn with melancholy. Danny noticed his hands were shaking.

With a sigh, the halfa landed beside him, wondering how he might approach the subject. He obviously hadn't expected a sword on his shoulder but hey, he'd initiated conversations in worse ways.

#dpxdc #ghost king danny #I like to think that Batcow was the first animal that Damian rescued #and therefore the one he is close with #Batcow is a very persistent ghost #she was worried about how Damian would take her departure #cows don't live forever #Damian was very affected #he went to the barn many times out of habit #Until he noticed Batcow wasn't there #Damian loves all his animals but Batcow was the first #her leaving leaves him very bewildered #dp x dc #dc x dp #Danny scared Damian off and ended up getting stabbed #Damian is obviously upset about his home invasion #Danny doesn't know how to comfort people

"This is some of the most fun work we’ve seen from the talented actor Dónal Finn all season; he gets that Mat is a depressive character, and so when Mat has moments of joy and elation — whether that’s simply reuniting with his friends or realizing he was born to be the leader of the most legendary assemblage of heroes ever known — he really makes them almost radiate inner sunlight. It’s just a pleasure to see Mat happy." –Vulture

Decided to take the leap and post the little fanfic I wrote at the start of the month to AO3. The Yiling Laozu takes a break in the burial mounds. Also, there is a worm.

#mdzs #wei wuxian #writing #No obligation to read if you're just here for the silly comics! #They will be back tomorrow! #This was my way of re-engaging with a creative outlet that I put aside for a long while. #and while my style leans into the experimental side - I always find I have the most fun that way. #If you do read - I hope you enjoy it! No issues at all if it is not your cup of tea B*) #This whole blog leans into 'And now - time for something entirely different'! but this is the biggest departure from my usual far thus far. #I have so many thoughts to share about my thought process with this one...alas #I also want to let people have their unbiased thoughts about it. Such is the pain of authourship.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep - The Land of Departure

#kingdom hearts birth by sleep #khbbs #land of departure #scenery #my gif #man... i really do wish we could have spent more time in this world and learned more about the characters' lives here #it's very beautiful with a big castle but it's also very desolate #almost as if no one else lives in this world #no sight of any towns in the distance even when viewing the world from space #vanitas describes it as a tiny world so i think it's safe to assume there really isn't much of anything past those mountains #it could have to do with eraqus's vehement hatred of darkness so he raises his pupils in such a sheltered environment #as a means to 'protect them' #he does suck as a master honestly #so what's up with this place anyway? #the architecture is reminiscent of scala ad caelum but is it because eraqus modeled it after his home town or is there more to it? #in the fourth gif with the flags there's a bridge that you can't fully see but it's destroyed and doesn't lead anywhere #not that there's any land across from it that it could even lead towards #it raises a lot of questions... #i could be looking too far into things but it's fun to speculate #haha jonathan you read my essay

i don't know why, but in the sparse five hours of sleep i got last night, my brain decided to plague me with dreams of lilia taking care of an elderly silver, up until the final moments of his life. i could hear silver's thoughts the whole time, and he was so absolutely inundated with shame and guilt it almost seemed like he was suffocating. he kept thinking over and over and over again that this all should've been the other way around. he should've been the one looking after his father in the twilight of his life. he should've been his aging father's rock, his safe place to land, his stalwart defender against a world so unbelievably cruel to its most vulnerable denizens. again and again his heart cried out in vain, it should've been the other way around.

as a child he had once wished - prayed, even, to the same force now threatening to reclaim his spirit back into its unconscious designs - for his father to live a long and prosperous life, and it was as though that very wish had backfired on him in a way he never could have possibly imagined

#twst silver #lilia vanrouge #twst spoilers #twst #mumbles #txt #i hate it here #i litearlly woke up crying you gusy dont unerstand #he was so ashamed of himself but not once in my dream was lilia anything less than happy to take care of him #i feel like part of the reason lilia is trying to run away is because like so many of our elderly and our disabled #he didn't want his loved ones to worry about him and “waste” their time taking care of him #so he thought the best decision for everyone would be if he just went off to go die alone #i have no idea if twst would actually touch on something like that but i do think you could interepret his departure that way #anyways if any of you have caretakers or aides or just are disabled in anyway #i want you to know you are not and have never been and never will be a burden on anyone or anything #and that i love you so so much #im getting so emotional over a dream fkjgh but i want silver to understand that good parents dont have kids expecting that #their children will someday “pay them back” for everythinng they did for them growing up!! u don't owe ur parents jack shit!! #silver you just existing as you are is enough for your father!!!

i am an athena cykes defender forever and ever until the day i die but god. somewhere out there there is a universe where apollo justice got actual follow through and it kills me that i am not living in it

#sorry. i am replaying apollo justice. and it has SO MUCH POTENTIAL. #kills me that we never get any real answers about kristoph obv but its not even just that #klavier as a rival was so interesting. because hes basically already at the state that you're trying to get all the other prosecutors in th #series to in terms of winning vs truth. hes really well rounded as a prosecutor in a way that you as the player arent used to #and that was an interesting departure from the formula for aa in general but then they slapped him with a whole DIFFERENT problem #with kristoph and phoenix. and then they just. do not resolve it whatsoever. #even though apollo is literally right there as a perfect little avenue for resolution. and i KNOW that they WOULD HAVE resolved it #if only they would have MADE THE SECOND GODDAMN GAME #PLUS the secondary conflict of systemic injustice within the system and phoenix's role in that. TRUCY. #god fuck ace attorney why are you so good and so bad at the same time #what we really should have gotten is an apollo justice duology and THEN an athena cykes solo game #where apollo shows up exclusively as a background character and athena actually gets to be the playable attorney in more than 2 cases. #ugh. whatever #personal

Cool to see the blog in full swing again!

Question for Maelstrom, what are your thoughts on Groudon? Aside from trying to crush your friends, I figure you'd find them quite enviable.

Maelstrom: They are so big and so strong!! I feel like if Malachi threw me at them, they would be able to crush me into smithereens!!

High School! Zukaang - Valentine's Day

Zuko decided to give him chocolates for the day, he's just coming to terms with his feelings for him, but... Aang's locker is full of candy and gifts.

Every time he gets a chance to give him the chocolates, someone interrupts them with a bigger and flashier gift for Aang. This makes him more and more upset.

At the end of the day, he hasn't given him the chocolates and Aang has bags full of gifts. Zuko no longer wants to give Aang the chocolates because he accidentally ruined them because he was upset.

When Zuko wants to go on his way, Aang stops him and hands him some homemade chocolates, he too has wanted to deliver him chocolates all this time. Surprised and excited, he also hands the chocolates to Aang and he eats them, realizing that they are the first chocolates Aang has eaten even though he has many.

After that, both of them promise what gift they will give to the other on the White Day.

#Of course this is another ZukAang school AU... #I like the idea that the two of them are outstanding students but in different ways... #This AU takes place in a traditional Fire Nation academy school... #why is Aang there?... It's a punishment #Obviously Zuko didn't like it... first week and he already had half the school eating out of his palm... #He thought Aang was an arrogant airhead... The classic idiotic popular guy... #But... he is a good boy... over time they become friends and then falling in love begins... #A slow burn with plenty of potential and cliché... #Of course Zuko also received chocolates from other people... #But Aang (from past experiences) always delivers his chocolates at departure time when no one is around... #Aang actually likes dark chocolate better and Zuko knows it. #And Zuko prefers milk chocolate and Aang knows it... #avatar the last airbender #avatar aang #fire lord zuko #zuko x aang #aang x zuko #zukaang #aang love #aanglove

what has ruined the mcu in my opinion is that i feel like they used to have creative people make the movies they wanted to make with a few tiny little notes from one guy with a plan about characters or events or concepts they should briefly mention and now they feel like they were made entirely by executives who just crunched the numbers on what made the most money and shit out movie after movie after movie desperately asking "do you like this?? is this what you like???? you like doctor strange right what if we put doctor strange in this movie will you like it will you go see it will you give us money please please please give us money". and i will not because they're not making movies anymore they're making content.

#gotg 3 was such a welcome departure bc they let james gunn tell a story. about CHARACTERS. which is somehow an insane and revolutionary idea #if i'm honest as much as i hate to say it bc i really love it it feels like a lot of this came from eternals flopping #both commercially AND critically like it didn't make much money but it was also their first rotten movie on rotten tomatoes #for the first time in a little while they took a risk on an auteur with a distinct style they let her change up the formula ever so slightl #and for the most part she made the movie she wanted to make and it was a colossal failure the likes of which they'd never really seen befor #and instead of realising that a) it was 2020 no movies were doing well and b) it's okay to have a divisive movie sometimes #they panicked. and now we're stuck with focus group executive ai movies.

#talking #moses sumney #i am forever and always shaking people by the shoulders telling them about this album. So important actually #like i could talk about the actual music for a long time it's super interesting and a gorgeous departure from usual musical conventions #and the singer. gorgeous voice. moses sumney sounds absolutely beautiful #but the very fact of an album made about aromantic experience... #many things to think about! many things! #the lyrics of doomed are the most immediately striking and easy to identify and connect with #but i think about like. plastic. 'all my old lovers have found others i was caught in the rapture' #'i don't bother nobody/nobody bothers my body after' #and. fuck. god. whatever the song title is with the lyrics about just wanting to have sex in a car. #make out in my car. is what it's called. great job on that one bracken 😭 #anyway that one is wonderful. aroallos i love you so fucking much #aromantic #aromanticism #arospec #aroace #aspec
