Dead Language Expert
Danny never thought that he could "major" in languages, and get a job as a translator. But apparently knowing all the dead languages ​​by default and being able to time travel with the help of your ghost tutor was pretty useful outside of Amity.
It happened purely by chance, he was walking through a museum and started laughing because of a mistake in one of the sentences that completely changed the meaning of the text. The museum manager, of course, did not believe him, since many people had said that the piece was "impossible to translate". But he study it anyway.
Days later they were looking for him to translate all the things from that time. And he just carried on with it, in many more civilizations. In some cases he even asked for a few trips to the past to Clockwork to verify.
It got to a point where the wizards, heroes and villains over the world knew him as "the translator of dead languages" and some of them even tried to kidnap him to perform a summoning ritual. Danny rolled his eyes and easily freed himself, but the League assigned him an "escort" anyway.
Exasperated, the halfa escaped from his escorts and continued his work as normal. Superman almost fell out of his chair at the Watchtower meeting when he was informed that the boy had translated the language of Krypton and other missing planets. Besides having managed to lose both the Flash and Green Latern, what the fuck?

DP x DC Prompt #1
An old collection is finally shown again at the British Museum after being left in boxes for a few decades.
By coincidence one Tucker Foley, reincarnation of a Pharaoh, notices among the collection several items that used to belong to him. It doesn't take much (or anything) to convince Sam and Danny to go on a... Field trip yup field trip with him to London, a little vacation for his 24th birthday if you will. What do you mean his birthday isn't before several months? That's blasphemy.
They simply came during the day as to control the perimeter (and make a list of other artefacts that would suddenly be returned to their rightful place.)
They could not have planned that one Ra's Al Ghul also had several of his own personal items that he wished to retrieve among the very same collection. Or that he would decide to not only get them back himself but also at the same time.

Early concept ideas for my Narrator (Black) visualized.

Black was supposed to have a final form, but I scrapped that idea and stayed with his humanoid form. (Inspired by Ramiel from Evangelion.)
I'm still keeping many ideas in the dark. I might keep some ideas from these concepts, they're too cool to remove.

I have a new episode of my podcast All Miracles Are Strange. It's about hysterical weeping, Margery Kempe, EM Cioran, and two ceramics work by the artist Carolein Smit (above).
It's also about how I cry a lot.
In this episode, I referenced Tears and Saints by Emil Cioran, The Crying Book by Heather Christie, Cry Baby: Why Our Tears Matter by Benjamin Parry, Interior Castles by Teresa of Avila, the Book of Margery Kempe, Afterlives of the Saints by Colin Dickey, and the essay “Tears and Screaming: Weeping in the Spirituality of Margery Kempe” by Santha Bhattacharji, which appears in the book “Holy Tears: Weeping in the Religious Imagination.” I tried very hard to put in some bits from Margery Kempe by Robert Gluck, but couldn't make it work this time around.
If you would like to support my work or read more of what I do, you can find me on Patreon and Substack. If you want to see my studio work, you can see it on instagram and on my website.
This episode, along with all the others, can be found on both Spotify and Apple Podcasts

also I learned a very funny folk story about the pont du gard: according to the story the builder who was assigned to build a bridge across the river tried and failed many times (each time his bridges were destroyed), and eventually in despair makes a deal with the devil, that the devil will build a bridge in return for the soul of the first being that crossed the bridge. however the builder catches a hare and releases it onto the bridge, and when the devil realizes he's been tricked he grabs the hare and flings it against the stonework, where it's stuck to the side ever since. hence the pont du gard itself
which would be a fun story HOWEVER the '''hare''' the story is referring to is apparently referring to THIS real life carving:

which is in fact not a hare but a stone fascinus originally put there by the romans (who actually built the aqueduct) to prevent bad luck

Genuinely curious if the little Jedtavius upsurge Ive seen on here recently is because there is a pool of other sad Lokius shippers like me who went right over to Owen Wilson's other gay relationship for comfort after the finale

I crochet people stuffies for special occasions, and I always make sure to leave a little crocheted heart and a little note in a tiny envelope about how much I love them and how proud of them I am. In all likelihood, they will never see it, but I hope that one day they’ll sit in a museum and those people will know that our people were well loved.

updated book tally:
9 copy/paste rejections
1 extremely helpful and kind rejection
32 unknowns (either haven’t gotten to my query yet, or are too busy to even send a copy/paste rejection)
91 people left who haven’t been queried but match my specificaions because if there’s anything that autism is good for, it’s for obsessive research and list-making
