you lose sight of it, somehow, when you consort with gods: how fragile mortals are, and how precious.

Finding out the Danny Phantom pitch bible originally included more creatures other than ghosts really makes me want to just (DUMPS TRANSCENDENCE AU ALL OVER IT)

#Danny Phantom #tau #transcendence au #zilly squeaks #Danny would still be a ghost and not a demon. i think. brainworms pending #oh no here come the crossover thoughts #portal accident happens just years after The Transcendence #hear me out #Danny and Dipper bonding over becoming immortal nonhumans feared by the general public #'i rolled out of bed today and fell into the basement' 'that's rough buddy. i threw up glitter today' 'shit dude' #'you getting unsolicited summoning rituals too' 'yeah i found out how to make an answering machine for that' 'oh no WAY you gotta show me' #no but fr Danny Sam and Tucker deserve to have wacky adventures involving all sorts of creatures #PLEASE everlasting trio + mystery twins being very new and very bad at this and helping each other #are they the same age? canon ages?? i don't know what would be funnier

When I wrote my thesis a few years back I read this article/book chapter that I found useful for the discussion of the ways that blaming Jews turns into caricatures of Jews which in turn became character tropes and narrative turns that we can find in literature, specifically children's fantasy per the scope of my research. Over the past number of months I keep thinking about this one piece specifically, and how I think it would be good for more people to read it.

The Ritual Murder or Blood Libel Legend: A Study of Anti-Semitic Victimization through Projective Inversion by Alan Dundes, edited by Simon J. Bronner. JSTOR stable link: https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/j.ctt4cgrzn.24.pdf It's openly available, you do not need institution access to be able to view it, please do give it a read.

It's a discussion about the blood libel legend, where it comes from, why it proliferates, and why Christians are so obsessed with it. I found it to be a really well argued take on the idea of projecting internal guilt onto the other and how that is a large aspect of the longevity of this particular antisemitic legend. Given what we've seen in the past four months, there is room to discuss the way that this idea of projective inversion is very relevant today.

I am a scholar in literary antisemitism, not in politics, not in war, not in human rights. I am looking at what is happening online and in leftist spaces from the view of someone who spent years studying antisemitic rhetoric.

#jumblr #antisemitism #blood libel legend #ritual murder legend #i would like it if people would read this i found it quite useful for my research #and unfortunately see how this projection of internal guilt onto the Other is ongoing today #in more than just the blood libel i've seen coming from various bad actors #i've thought about posting this for a while #but i've been worried about it #but i have this education in this specific area and i feel i should use it #even if i cannot do it consistently

Ghost Blood

Bad things happen to good people

------------------------------------

The Justice League and the Justice League Dark had met to discuss something extremely important and confidential: the end of the world.

While this was something they faced on a weekly basis, this time it was different. It had started when the chaos lords found an ancient ritual to gain power, and multiple villains joined them to complete the requirements. Klarion, who had noticed that the spell was going to end the world sooner or later, informed the heroes.

The problem was that the spell was already underway, and it was a process that could not be stopped. They had a couple of hours left before all the known horrors in the universe would take an interest in Earth.

The Justice League Dark was overworked, all of them looked extremely exhausted. Even Deadman offered to help but there was little he could do. As they discussed how to proceed, Constantine grabbed an old spell book he was leafing through and angrily threw it to the ground, catching everyone's attention.

"Bloody hell" the Brit glared at the ground angrily "so fucking close".

His companions asked him what was going on, to which Constantine informed them that there was a solution to their current problem. Some sort of powerful cancelation spell that would solve their problems. He saw their hopeful faces and sighed, he supposed he should break their hopes sooner than later.

"We can't use it" the Hellbazer said wearily.

"Why not?" Wonder Woman looked at him frustrated "if it's the only option, surely we can-"

"We can't use it because one of the ingredients doesn't exist!" Constantine blurted out, furious. He had analyzed all the options and that was the only one that might work, but the essential ingredient was missing.

"The spell requires ghost blood" John commented after calming down, desperation could be heard in his voice "but ghosts don't have blood, their blood is ectoplasm, it's impossible!"

Deadman had suddenly gone silent.

"There would have to be a hybrid or something but clearly they don't exist, it's too unlikely."

The League, which had previously perked up at the possible solution, sank back in disappointment. Zatanna, however, noticed the ghost's reaction and watched him curiously.

"...What if it's possible?" Deadman's voice was heard in the silence. Constantine had made him visible to the others during the investigation but the ghost was not used to the attention.

"It's not, it's not possible to combine life and death, the balance would have been broken one way or another" Constantine denied.

"John, what if it's possible?" Deadman repeated "what if a hybrid exists?"

What if the hybrid is the balance?

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Constantine observed his friend. Ghost blood was a myth, mentioned in many books but never used.

"Don't get too excited" the ghost warned "there is a hybrid with that kind of blood but he's not-, he doesn't trust humans anymore, for a very good reason."

"However, he does exist" Wonder Woman said in disbelief "can you tell us more?"

Deadman looked around at the nearly destroyed dimension and begged the Ancients for forgiveness for what he was about to do.

"He was born by the Realms and for the Realms, he's a good boy" Deadman sighed, revealing the secret he was never supposed to mention "but as you well know, bad things happen to good people."

The ghost thought of the communique that had reached all the ghosts. On how the Ancients had taken in a child, how they had demanded that he needed to be left alone.

"It's not my place to say what happened" and he didn't have many details either, though gossip traveled fast "but he doesn't trust anyone beyond his guardians, he hates adults and he's scared of needles and other medical instruments, I don't think he'll be much help."

"We have to try, there's not much time left" Batman frowned. Something inside him stirred at the mention of an injured child "Can you tell us where he is?"

"The Infinite Realms" Constantine replied instantly, lighting a cigarette, his hands were shaking "But who are his guardians?"

"The Ancients" Deadman replied "and if you want their help, you really must come up with a plan."

It was obvious that only the Justice League Dark had understood the implications of all this, they were pale and looked scared. Even Dr. Fate and Marvel looked like the end of the world had been confirmed.

"I can take you there" the ghost said, nostalgic at the thought of visiting the dimension "time doesn't work the same there, so you won't spend much time even if it takes weeks to get close, but you can't all go, you'll scare him off"

"We'll go" Captain Marvel spoke up, overcoming his fear "if it's the only option, we'll go."

Little did they know that from the Infinite Realms the Master of Time was watching them with a raised eyebrow. The Ancient shook his head, knowing he should prepare for visitors before heading to the couch next to his screens. Danny was reclining there, sipping hot chocolate and bundled up in one of his cloaks.

The halfa greeted him looking relaxed but Clockwork wouldn't be fooled by that (he could still see the boy, his boy, with his chest wounded, crying for help), he reached over to stroke his protégé's hair affectionately, thinking of ways to get rid of his visitors. While Danny was likely to want to help, he couldn't care less about what happened to that dimension.

#dpxdc #Revelation goes wrong #bad parents jack and maddie #They found out about Phantom #Danny only escaped thanks to his friends #they closed the portal after that #and Danny stayed with the Ancients #They adopted him #dp x dc #dc x dp #Danny is scared of medical instruments because of what his parents did #The scars are still on his body #DC dimension is going to disappear if they don't get Danny's blood #But before they talk to Danny they need to get over his overprotective parents first #Danny would help if they ask probably #he's still scared of adults though #Ghost Blood is a myth #is an essential ingredient for a lot of rituals #and only Danny has it #Danny is not going to like that piece of knowledge #Danny is JL last hope

what are your fave headcanons for dinluke sparring??

I think they would kind of overdo it and it would end up seemingly like a real fight with real stakes until one of them either gets hurt or pulls back. and whichever it is both of them would still be like damn...that was pretty hot and I want more oop

#dinluke #good news is that I prolly don't have covid #bad news is I have hurt my voice box and I have to cease talking for a couple of DAYS #so you can tell I'm bored #dinluke headcanons #Skydalorian #becoming addicted to the intricate rituals that let you touch other man's body

⛧ 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬 feels SUPER conflicted about lying to 𝐓𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐚 (since she's really their only “friend”) 😖

⛧ Has ADHD + a GAD (that often causes them to experience anxiety attacks that worsen into panic attacks if not quickly delt with); she's very sensitive to excessive stimulus, especially anything touch related (curiously she's ok with 𝐒𝐢𝐫𝐮𝐮𝐝'𝐬 touch 🤗)

⛧ 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬 has A LOT of plants at home 🪴 (luckily having a semi-steady income has allowed them to do so)

⛧ She will NEVER let 𝐒𝐢𝐫𝐮𝐮𝐝 live down 𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧'𝐬 “hickey” comparison 😏 (& her teasing will only worsen once he gives her some real ones)

⛧ Upon learning that 𝐒𝐢𝐫𝐮𝐮𝐝 like rice, 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬 spent time looking up recipes he might like 🍛

⛧ She just couldn't stop herself from mocking 𝐀𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧 before being promptly defenestrated by them... 😔 can't believe her last words were almost “Ligma balls”

⛧ 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬 is the living embodiment of >:3c (they're often called an “obnoxious clown” by others who obviously lack a sense of humour 🤡)

⛧ She has unresolved abandonment issues: throughout her life she's never really been anyone's #𝟷 (so 𝐒𝐢𝐫𝐮𝐮𝐝 choosing to stay with HER instead of leaving with 𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 definitely knocked her off-kilter 😳⁉️)

⛧ 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬 has no issue with non-humans, really only those that are actively trying to kill them (honestly they've always thought that it was strange that 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 hunts down non-violent demons with the same ferocity they do the the violent ones 🤔)

i can't even fathom the idea of dean and cas cheating on each other but it would be very funny if it happened. atleast one of them will commit ritual suicide about it I think. and like there will be assorted violence and murder and apocalypses and stuff bc they just can't deal with it like normal people.

#suicide ment. #i read 'destiel after affair' on a post that wasn't talking ablut that bc im sleep deprived and brain foggy #so you know #doe is talking again #everg day i show up here at 5am and write some bullshit post and go away #and then reblog like 600 posts for no reason #sorry i am like this #anyway #spn posting #destiel but make it bad worse #actually i know some version of this happened in s #s6* and if people point this out to me in the tags i will commit ritual suicide istg #ANYWAY #WHATEVERRR

[wizardsix]

i guess i have to say it a million times since people insist on being dense: gale is just as much of a victim as the other companions. this isn't the trauma olympics. everyone has been through shit and deserves healing and redemption.

gale is not the self entitled, manipulative abuser people are painting him as. he's a lot of things, but nothing so heinous. he was groomed by a goddess who has a history of preying on wizards that threaten her power, and as a result, gale's ambition and faith was what drove him to discover the netherese orb. what he did was for mystra - in his mind, it was to prove his love by restoring her missing power - and by extension for the betterment of mortals. his actions were never malicious or selfish, in fact he puts himself so low on the priority list it's pretty much non existent. he was never going to use that power to usurp her, but mystra definitely saw it like that, which is why she didn't hesitate to present suicide as his only solution. he never crossed her personal boundaries in the way people are twisting it, he only wanted to cross the boundaries she put on wizards and their power.

people who insist he's all of these things and more clearly only spoke to him once or lack the reading comprehension to see past how much of an unreliable narrator he is. i can understand first impressions might put some people off, but you can say the same about the other companion introductions. i don't like comparing but since people insist on doing it; gale is one of the easiest companions to get along with just by being a good person, yet his honesty and selflessness makes people think he's secretly evil? while the companions with the capacity to be evil don't even try to hide it? how are people being so backwards about this? it's genuinely baffling and tiring to see people continuously spit out incorrect takes all too confidently.

no one is forcing anyone to like him, but it's unfair to completely mischaracterize him because you refuse to learn critical thinking. i promise using your brain is not as scary as it seems, or you can just. not talk about things you don't understand.

#all of them have issues but that doesn't mean they're irredeemable monsters. unless you push them to but that's on you #people are shocked that astarions ascended ending is so bad. yeah what did you expect from a soul sacrificing ritual for power lol #i cannot stress this enough. i don't care if people don't like gale. i care and am annoyed about the complete lack of media literacy skills #to the point where people are ruining such interesting characters. its a shame people can't appreciate good writing when we finally get it #anyway whatever idk if this makes sense its like 4am and ive looked at this post for too long #i have so much more to say but again its like not worth telling if it falls on deaf ears #gale dekarios #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #bg3 spoilers #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #six speaks #and no obviously im not saying the others are worse im just saying how do people accept astarion when hes Actually manipulative but not gale #i love star but we cant pretend hes not like that . and we cant pretend that gale is

Random thought I had last night. Genuinely think they're both equally outlandish - which is just ridiculous in itself if you think about it.

#ngl i think him wearing a shirt might be the most shocking thing he could do #lifting weights? shoving his tongue on the homies' throats? absolutely normal 👍 #a SHIRT?? a piece of garment covering his chest and tummy???? actual normal clothing???? no. absolutely not #but also. imagine he just says “hello” OMG i would flip #i'm not counting that small “thank you” on Wembley because those were exceptional circumstances #i mean a regular ritual were nothing bad happens. and he just decides to be verbal for once and go :::) hello 👋 #dew yew loike that? fancy seein' you 'ere #i don't know why i'm giving him a cockney accent. i know he talks more southern and posh but that's just funny #IF he did talk with us. do you think he'd be all “i have throughly enjoyed this ritual. we shall gather once more in this land with haste” #or he'd go full “yo yeah that's chill dawg” #be all “would you look at iii that wanker. that's my mate right there” #lmao idk what i'm saying. if this has a million typos IGNORE IT cus i'm writing this before bed and queuing for the morning #sleep token
