Keefex hurt/comfort brain so rotted that it’s almost gone Keefe bending down to hold Dex while he sobs hysterically I need it, Shannon, give it to me now, Ms Messenger

Alright which one of them is sobbing hysterically. And why. The way I'm interpreting this is that Dex is on the ground injured, so either he's crying from fear/pain and Keefe is trying desperately to stay calm and keep him calm, telling him everything is going to be okay. Or, Dex is doing the comforting, smiling through the pain and trying not the let Keefe see--it doesn't work, Keefe can feel it all as he holds tight to him, but he doesn't let go. And both are excellent options

but! there's also the emotional interpretation where Keefe is collapsing into Dex's arms because he simply doesn't have enough will to continue. He needs to break and he needs to be somewhere safe to do it. he needs someone who can fix things.

Dex knows what it feels like to be not enough, to be falling apart, to never be good enough. And with his technopathy, all the small pieces and delicate moving parts have taught him to be careful, how to be gentle.

I'm not confident that Shannon will be giving this to you anytime soon, but luckily for you, that's what fanfic is for!!

Swap!Cult AU Backstory

greetings all! here i present the first public piece of the swap!cult au. i'm really excited to start properly working on this >w<

this isn't permanent and is subject to changes.

~

Long ago, two twin gods were born. The Realm of the Gods was delighted to finally have new gods for their home-- new gods to maintain the balance in the mortal plane.

The God of Positivity was highly praised and many loved his attention and beloved manner of greeting all the citizens of the realm.

The God of Negativity, on the other hand, was more quiet and reserved. Most were skeptical on his existence, and many questioned why we wasn't like his extroverted brother.

For this reason, the God of Negativity quickly grew outcasted from everything. He had refused to attend meetings and talk to the residents-- even the other gods.

During this time, his brother gained much adoration. When he became an adult and was officially given his title, he went off to find his own domain in the realm that wasn't in the primary city. Still, even with the escape, everyone still followed and worshipped him.

One fine day, the God of Positivity encountered a strange tree; one of which was said to give infinite power to those who eat its fruit. He, blinded by the sin of Greed, gladly deprived the tree of its fruit, and ate them as they turned a pure golden with his mere touch.

The magic had worked, but only made the God want more. More of everything; power, followers, positivity. He thought that he was in need of it all, regardless of what he had already.

The god returned to the center of the Realm of the Gods, and commanded everyone follow his lead. The other gods, fearful for what had become of the God of Positivity, peacefully refused. The God was infuriated, and quickly began to attack the city with his newly-found power given to him by the tree.

So much so, that his brother was awakened from the shadows, and also politely asked his dear brother to stop. As he did before, the God of Positivity neglected, and so the God of Negativity waged war on his brother's monarchy.

After many long years of fighting, the God of Positivity triumphed and took over his brother's kingdom under a truce to make sure that nothing and nobody in the primary city shall harmed. His brother then fled the realm, and had never since been seen.

Still, his lingering Desire for admiration grew by the day, and he knew he needed more devotees. So, in desperation, he found a way to link himself to the mortal plane even further than he already had. He placed his name in few places, hoping for someone to notice and summon him there.

Fortunately for him, a mortal encountered him. A human, searching for refuge from a cold war being fought. She quickly gave her life to the God as she felt his presence linger in the shadows of a ruin. The human built a shrine and was extremely devoted to the God's word. The God followed this human weekly, and told her that she were to be in charge of finding more followers, but that she was forbidden to speak of him to the unworthy.

The God searched for the broken and disheartened, to lift their spirits with his praise. He wanted to make them believe that he was their one and only savior. No other god shall have deemed that they were greater than him, and if they should say so, they shall be condemned to a life of agony.

Over the centuries, the God got what he wanted from the mortals. They, of course, never lived forever and perished eventually, but they were always willing to serve him in their lifetimes. Those who dared to leave his mercy were punished for their ignorance.

Those who Believe in the Light are given lives of peace and prosperity.

…

Rumor has it some strange animals linger in the forest at the crack of dawn. One human, curious, steps in to find out if the myth was true or not…

A Russian sausage tycoon who criticized the invasion on Ukraine plunged to his death from a luxury hotel in India – three days after his friend lost his life on the same trip.

Pavel Antov, who was reportedly celebrating his upcoming 66th birthday, was found dead outside the Hotel Sai International in Rayagada, the UK’s Telegraph reported.

According to Russian state media, Antov, who was also a politician, died in a fall from his third-floor window at the swanky hotel.

His death on Sunday is the latest in a series of mysterious ones involving Russian tycoons since the start of strongman Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine.

On Thursday, Antov’s friend Vladimir Bidenov also died at the same hotel after he was found lying unconscious in his rom surrounded by empty wine bottles, according to the news outlet.

Pavel Antov, 65, was found dead outside the Hotel Sai International in Rayagada.

Police Superintendent Vivekananda Sharma said Bidenov suffered a stroke and that his pal “was depressed after his death and he too died,” the BBC reported.

Alexei Idamkin, the Russian consul in Kolkata, told the Tass news agency that investigators did not see a “criminal element in these tragic events,” according to the BBC.

“We are aware of the tragedy that happened in Odisha, where two of our citizens died. One of them is Pavel Antov, member of the Legislative Assembly of the Vladimir Oblast,” the Russian embassy in India told local outlet NDTV.

“We are in constant contact with the relatives of the deceased as well as with local authorities. As far as we know, police do not yet see a criminal component in these tragic events,” it added.

A senior police official said Antov’s death appeared to be a case of suicide, news agency PTI reported.

The wealthy member of Putin’s United Russia party was chairman of the agriculture committee at the legislature in Russia’s Vladimir region, the Telegraph reported.

Antov was the founder of sausage producer Vladimir Standard and the country’s top-earning lawmaker, according to Russian Forbes, which put his annual income at almost $156 million.

In July, Antov slammed the Kremlin’s missile attacks on Kyiv as terrorism on WhatsApp, where he posted a story about a girl who had been pulled out of the rubble at her demolished home.

“It’s extremely difficult to call all this anything but terror,” he wrote.

Antov quickly apologized for the message, saying it had been posted by someone else and that he was “a supporter of the president and my country’s patriot” and “shared the goals” of the invasion.

Several Russian magnates have died in strange circumstances since the invasion began.

In September, the head of Russia’s oil giant Lukoil, Ravil Maganov, reportedly fell from a hospital window in Moscow.

DPxDC prompt: Danny Phantom is an extremely high-level threat due to his capabilities and experience battling against his ghostly enemies. Batman is creating a contingency plan for him and Constantine's advice, as the one who dances the tango with the Infinite Realms? A bone-weary sigh of "plop him down a telly and put on a NASA documentary or something. It's like you haven't been dealing with teen kids for decades now fer fuck's sake."

tumblr users will have the most inaccessible, unreadable, low contrast, flashing carrd you can possibly imagine, with a dni full of insider acronyms with no translation and numerous link buttons labelled with cryptic captions, and then go ahead and put “ableists dni and kys!” on that carrd

#yeah i’m bitter about carrds becoming so hostile to disabled people #nobody with vision issues or photosensitivity or processing issues or epilepsy or memory issues could possibly read your carrd #small changes like proper colour contrast between background and text can make a world of difference in making your page accessible #even just spelling out the acronyms in your dni or mentioning WHERE a mysterious link will actually lead is so helpful #i see so many links that are just random literary quotes that turn out to lead to a mandatory dni. how would anyone know that?? #txt #accessibility #1000

Dorder fam - name things

- Hysteria has been Hysteria for as long as shriek remembers, shi isn't compelled to change it. If there ever was another name, only Torpor would know

- Setä has been named by the group (along with the Knuckle-dragger nickname). As far as he or Hysteria knows, he wasn't given a name as a child, and thus doesn't have any other one. Not that he'd want one, since he's happy with this. When he was younger though, he was called Veli ("brother")

- Unjust named herself after a certain point of corruption. She doesn't care to think about her birth name but when asked, she'll say "Eh, it was something lame. Probably." she sometimes jokes that her previous name was "Just". She'd only be compelled to change her name if she'd devolve further, or gain different abilities (or go through major character development)

- Aalto came up with her name together with Setä. She may have had a "legal" birth name but it's irrelevant considering her current life. Nobody would know of it anyways

- Torpor has been known as that since conception. Whenever she's in her active form, she's called Fervor. It's not in her priorities or interest to have any other names or titles, although in some more commonfolk circles it's known as The Slumbering titan.

- Mamonde's birth name was Mania, but she chose her current name due to feelings of detachment. She's been separated from her birth name in almost a literal sense, unlike Hysteria who's only grown to live up to her name even more. If Mamonde has opinions about her birth name, she doesn't express them. She's not intending to change her name a second time, but claims that if it did change in the future, it would 'Not be out of her own will'. The name Mamonde was inspired by her favorite brand of lipstick. Her stage name is Glitter crown Riot, or King Riot for short

#Character notes #Dissing order #Not gonna tag all of these mfs so I'll just put their group tag #Idek what else to tag this #Hysteria and Mamonde have developed over the course of their life #Setä remembers their previous forms #Unjust has this cell corruption that allows her to pull all the wack stunts #She wasn't born like this either #How mysterious #I call Hysterias young form Proto Hysteria

Putting this comment on here because I feel like I’m actually going insane…

It seems like nobody in the comments even watched the video, complaining about how paying for content is difficult in this economy, like, that's why they are doing this! They cannot continue to make the content they want for free based on ads and sponsors alone. If you have paid attention to the "Making Watcher"s of recent years, their company is not, and has not been profitable. They are so dependent on advertisers for funding that it is becoming a restriction to the content they want to make (y'a know, like Buzzfeed was), so they had to find a solution. I don't know why you all seem to think you are entitled to free content, I understand not everyone can afford it but Watcher doesn't owe you content personally. Frankly, I doubt they wanted to put their content behind a paywall, but if it's that or not make content at all, of course they are going to try to find a solution. So no, they aren't "turning into Buzzfeed” because the massive problem with Buzzfeed was its restrictions on creative freedom and exploitation of its workers. If Watcher wants to produce fulfilling content that gives their editors, designers, producers, etc full creative freedom and a livable wage, this is the best option. If you want them to pay their workers the bare minimum and tailor their content to advertiser interests just so you can watch it for free, that's fine. Just don't pretend that they are some evil media mega-corporation and you are the anti-capitalist shining hero for saying it. You don't have to like it, and you don't have to continue to support them, but don't try to shame and demonize them for making an already difficult decision.

Many of you DO have an understanding of the difficult position our current economic system puts people in because you have experienced it, but you are so unable to extend that understanding beyond your own point of view. Look past yourself for a moment and think critically, and maybe you will understand their perspective. Much love for all of the talented people within Watcher who are doing their best.

And just to add, their format going forward is almost IDENTICAL to CollegeHumor-Dropout's streaming service format (even down to the free premieres and advocating for sharing accounts with friends), which most people praise to high heaven as "the only ethical streaming service." As a huge fan of both companies the stark difference in response here is actually astounding...

#watcher #watcher entertainment #watcher tv #shane madej #ryan bergara #steven lim #ghost files #mystery files #puppet history #survival mode #too many spirits #dropout #I don’t know how to explain that 6 dollars a month is like getting cheap coffee twice a month these are not 18th century France level taxes

The Bat-Adoption Papers are literal Magic Contracts

So! In the Deified Batman AU (the AU where the Belief of the peoples of Gotham accidentally Ascended Batman to minor godhood), the Bat Adoption Papers would be a fun concept.

Batman is a God of The Night, Fear, and Protection. Specifically, the protection of Children, which is one of his biggest motivators. Meaning, it's a big part of his Divine Domain.

So when he, a God of Protection and Children, adopts his own Child? It's kind of a big deal.

His Adoption Papers basically become Magical Contracts that claim Dick to him as his own Son, basically turning Dick into a Demigod by the fact that he is the Son of a God.

Then each time Batman adopts a kid, they become a Demigod as well. Maybe after enough time, and after they forge their own Identities, they could become Minor Gods of their own? Idk, fun idea

Why do I bring this up?

Well, when Danny eventually joins the JLA, and runs into Batman, all he sees in a God of the Night, who takes one look at him, and then pulls out a Magical Binding Contract from his Belt.

Needless to say, he books it.

#Dpxdc #Dp x dc #Dcxdp #Dc x dp #Danny Phantom #Dc #Dcu #If they did become God's I like to imagine what their Domains would be #Dick becomes The Nightwing #God of Protection Jovality and Children #Jason becomes The Red Hood the God of Wrath Revenge and Protection #Tim becomes The Red Robin God of Intellect Mystery and Restaurants (heh) #Steph becomes The Spoiler Goddess of Mystery Puzzels and Fun (even though she never got adopted. Nobody really knows how she pulled it off) #Cass becomes The Orphan Goddess of Darkness Silence and Mercy #Duke is basically already a Demigod but be would be the God of Light Darkness and Riddles #Damien would be the God of Art Redemption and Animals #Danny saw a God who had multiple children bound by Contract and then saw him pull out that same contract while staring at him #He is rightfully scared #I imagine Constantine has tried to get adopted before so he can get in on that Demigod Making Contract #But he doesn't fit the bill for Adoption #Also he's old enough to be Bruce's Dad sooo... #Bruce is only vaguely aware of how his kids managed to Ascend #He doesn't know it was the Adoption Papers that did it #Also his “Adoption Sense” could actually be a legitimate Power of his now that I think about it
