Screw it, deity headcanon share go.

- Windsinger has thrown himself into every art form on Sornieth at least once, but hasn't honed most of them because the second he starts getting into one thing, some new venture catches his eye during his travels and he just HAS to try it out. He's best at painting and musical arts.

- I am an Autistic Arcanist Truther™️ Look me in the eyes and tell me the god that hyperfocused on astronomy for an entire decade straight is neurotypical.

- Stormcatcher likes sharks. He would own several Blåhaj. He refuses to admit to this. The last dragon who tried to spread the word still hasn't been found.

- Plaguebringer embodies the energy of the type of kid who'd go grab a snake off the playground and then run around chasing the other kids with it. Mostly Gladekeeper but she'll chase any kid if she thinks it'd be funny.

- Gladekeeper has far, FAR too many mildly disturbing facts about plants that she likes to drop at random and then continue on as if nothing happened. "Did you know apple seeds contain into one of the most potent poisons on the planet, which is practically undetectable besides a faint, bitter almond smell? Would be a shame if someone slipped it into your drink while you were unaware. :)"

Trope blender strikes again!

Since the formation of the Justice League Dark to deal with supernatural threats, Diana had been acting as the team's 'Superman' for lack of a better term.

It was, however, not a position she was entirely suited to, as ironically enough when engaging supernatural threats she was better suited to the same role that Batman played in the Justice League, engaging with superior training, tactics and specialised tools while also acting as battlefield tactical command.

With the lack of any other candidates however, she made do. But not for long.

Thanks to a wandering little girl, Diana had gained a new cousin and uncle who were refreshingly free of the hubris of the Greek pantheon, as well as an unexpected (and terrifying) meeting with her Grandfather who was far different from the stories, she supposed death and a few millennia would calm someone down. She was pleased however to add some paternal family members she could enjoy calm moments with.

Her Uncle was willing to help, however his backlog from the previous King in addition to the repairs and ongoing negotiations for reparations with the United States government made her feel guilt for placing further demands on him.

Her younger cousin however was more than happy to "get out of the house", her Father's comments about the expansiveness of a TARDIS castle completely ignored.

Ellie was already training with her old friend Pandora (So many happy reunions) so Diana was more than willing to take her to Themascerya for an initiation to the Sisterhood of Amazon's. Danny was ecstatic that his daughter was making friends.

Now Ellie as Banshee is JLD's front line fighter and Diana is the tactician, a dynamic duo of their own. Diana is so proud of her little cousin.

Which is why today was very..... Strange.

~

Basically the JLD have to head to the Watchtower for some threat, Ellie is super pumped because SPACE and Diana is excited to take her smol bean cousin to the Watchtower for the first time.

Batman and Co arrive and Drama TM occurs because "Holy shit that little girl looks like a Talia with blue eyes", Damian starts accusing and mouthing off, Ellie freaks because her Dad has warned her about the League of Assassins, so she freaks and bails.

Diana is explaining who Ellie is, how they're related when Uncanny Valley Danny in human form comes out of a portal in his "Royal Casual" work attire. Loose jeans,button up with vest, fluffy slippers with a coffee mug in hand. He's facing Diana, paying 0 attention to who else is there beyond "cool space station".

"Hey niece, why is my daughter running through my castle screaming about killer birds?"

"Ah, I believe she is referring to Robin being a former member of the League of Assassins." Diana replies.

Batman and the rest of the Justice League are tense, assessing this possible ally who RADIATES power and death. Anyone affected by death can feel it like static in their teeth during a lightning storm. Those who have been into the Lazarus Pits feel safe yet the overwhelming urge to KNEEL BEFORE YOUR KING.

"Well shit, someone actually escaped from the Fruit Loop Supreme? Anyone who gets away from my asshole grandfather is alright by me." Danny replies as he turns to look at the various heros, taking a sip from his mug.

"Danyal?" A faint hopeful whisper as Damian takes his mask off to look at his Brother (HOW, HOW? HE LOST HIM HE'S HERE HOW?) His dead twin somehow here and changed so much.

*Slurp*

"Well shit, didn't expect this."

This entire time Bruce's brain is making crunching noises.

It's not the extra son that's apparently God of the Afterlives. It's not the granddaughter.

Diana is his son's niece. Bruce had sex with his grand niece. Barbara is right, he needs therapy.

this may not work for everyone, but the best advice i’ve ever heard was something like “if you’re struggling with something, make it easier.” that sounds like bullshit, but it actually helps me a lot.

i struggled to brush my teeth for years. i still do! but i made it easier for myself by paying attention to my needs. what kept me from brushing? part of it was the sensory experience, so i switched to an electric one and it works much better for me. part of it was having to stand in the bathroom for two minutes, so i moved my brush and toothpaste into my bedroom, where i lay or sit in bed and look at my phone while i use them. this didn’t solve the entire problem for me, but it made things so much easier.

i can’t stand having a shirt collar, so i wear mostly tank tops, but for the shirts i really like, i usually just cut the neck part out. yeah it’s not super pretty, so i keep some of my shirts uncut if i really like them for their look, but it helps for my every day clothes. (my mom taught me this one.)

showering and doing dishes are two things that make me want to die from boredom(? i don’t really have a term for that crushing boredom/dread of executive dysfunction and trauma responses). now i have a speaker for my shower and headphones for chores, and i just listen to music or podcasts. it makes things easier, even if it isn’t enough every time.

just. look at what you’re struggling with and think about what specific part is bothering you most. if there’s an easy fix, take it. even if it only makes things slightly more manageable, you deserve that. you deserve an easier way to do things that you struggle with. even if the solution seems silly or weird, is it hurting anyone? is it making anything worse? is it better to brush your teeth in bed or not at all?

#actually autistic #neurodivergent #executive dysfunction #there isn’t always an easy fix but god it’s a revelation when there is

jun wu's ending will never not drive me absolutely insane. it's just...nobody's asked to forgive him or forget what he's done, but he's not being punished, either, and xie lian's deeply symbolic gesture of passing on the bamboo hat (representing the compassion he received at his lowest point) is so heavy with meaning.

jun wu is finished but he doesn't have to die and he doesn't have to suffer, or at least the narrative isn't lingering on his suffering - to the contrary! it portrays his defeat as a relief even to him. he doesn't even have to be imprisoned in eternal isolation - mei nianqing is there to stay with him explicitly as a friend.

it's such a compassionate ending for a main antagonist and it murders me.

(anyway once again mxtx's rejection of the punitive impulse and truly jun wu is the apotheosis of that and feels a little like mxtx banging the reader over the head with it as a theme. or maybe that's just me.)

I hate how much time capitalism chokes out of you. I hate how you’re worked within an inch of your life and left too drained to have any self left over afterwards. our time is not ours and our identity is eaten away every second we spend clocked in with nothing left to take to go <- I say, having worked a total of 2.5 hours and then choosing to spend the next 5 in a puddle on my couch doing literally nothing

#this is partially serious I have absolutely experienced the former and will again someday #but dear god if it ain’t the capitalism its the executive dysfunction huh

Here's some fanart for a Diary of a Wimpy Kid fan comic of all things lmao, strangly enough this comic had me in a chokehold and im so excited for future entries!! :) can't wait to see where the story goes from here!

On another note, I'm not quite used to using grey scale for my drawings, so this was fun to attempt!

The comic is Dysfunctional Perspective by u/ABitchWhoMakesShit on reddit and moon_sxg on Twitter!! :D

I remember being 17 and working at a retirement community. I made a casual comment to an 84 year old man about his ADHD.

He replied a very confused, "What?"

Me: "ADHD, it used to be called hyperkinesis back in the day." *proceeds to explain ADHD*

Him: *in shock nearly crying* "There is a name for it? I always thought I was broken"

Variations of this scene have played out for me again, and again, and again. The last time was less than 10 days ago.

Quirky kids who declare that they are just like me. Parents of Autistic kids in shock that I can have a "normal" conversation but still occasionally head bang in frustration. Explaining a specific learning disability, and having someone shout "That's a thing?! I was told I was stupid".

This is what I think about when I hear Semler's Thank God For That lyrics, "Hallelujah, we are all fucking weird, and there is a place for you at the table, honey, here."

yes my parents divorce was deeply traumatic for my entire family and forever changed the trajectory of our lives in more ways than I could ever possibly comprehend. yes my opinion is that divorce rocks <3

#adddna #my life would be so much WORSE in MORE WAYS THAN I COULD IMAGINE if my parents had stuck with their dysfunctional relationship!!#thank god for divorce baby!!!!!!!!#PLUS most of the reason it was traumatic was because We Live In A Society.#if my mom hadnt felt divorce was a sign of moral failing things could have probably been a bit smoother. yk.

i love team free will 2.0 because i've never seen such a dysfunctional group of individuals try so hard to convince themselves they're family.

like... ALL of you have tried to kill one another at least once. you all would die lying to each other rather than just communicating. the thing that brought you four together was lucifer, and the only thing keeping it from crumbling is a mutual disdain towards god.

and then they go around like "i have a family" and "family first" as if they didn't forgot about the half-brother locked up in a cage in hell.

#like i get they all came from dysfunctional homes #but my god you have to realize at some point this is not normal family behavior #does shooting your kind-of-adoptive-son seem like a normal family practice dean?#how about we just play a board game or something #they're so messy #but at least they're confident about it #spn #supernatural #team free will #dean winchester #castiel #sam winchester #jack kline #adam milligan #lucifer spn
