#instead of a civilian

[justwannabecat]

The one where having a secret lab in the basement is not as much of a red flag as it should be.

Because somehow, EVERY. SINGLE. ADULT. IN ALL OF AMITY. Have “secret” basements.

Sure, MOST of them have refitted them to act as emergency bunkers in case there’s another large-scale ghost attack, with rations and shields and blankets and all that, BUT. Even BEFORE the portal opened up, they were there.

Some of them were laboratories dedicated to one of many sciences. Some of them were just storage for the more concerning family heirlooms. At least one person kept the taxidermied bodies of each and every pet they had over their lifetime. Really, it was more odd for someone to not have some weird secret in their basement.

So when Danny ran from Amity and learned just how many people didn’t have strange, niche basements for their hobbies, he was a little put off. When he was eventually asked to stay with the Wayne family in Gotham, well, maybe he could have phrased it better.

How was he supposed to know that asking if they had a “super-secret basement either for your job, your personal life, or disaster prevention” would lead to them thinking he knew about their nightlife?

#dp x dc #dc x dp #dpxdc #dcxdp #we always talk about how he would avoid creepy basements #but like? imagine if everyone had one??? #and instead of thinking that it’s weird #Danny thinks having said basement is normal #and so when heroes go around in their civilian ID trying to get a read on this meta runaway #hero: do you need someone to stay? just for one night? #danny: I dunno… do you have a super secret high-tech basement? #hero: …no? #hero: (does he know?) #danny: you don’t? how am I supposed to trust you then smh

"UWU op defends Israel UWU"-

Have I not made it clear enough what I think of the Israeli government? Have I not made it clear enough that what infuriates me the MOST about all of this shit going on is that neither government gives a damn and civilians will CONTINUE to die because Hamas and Netanyahu are cranking that war machine for their own benefit? Have I not made it clear that I think what the Israeli government is doing is fucking horrific, a war crime, murder, a violation of human rights?

Why do I even need to MAKE that clear? Why is it that you can talk about LITERALLY anything else, any other country, and people don't rush to fucking accuse you of personally supporting the government when you discuss the wrongs committed against a people, but the SECOND you're a Jew you have to justify your stance about Israel?

Why is it that I cannot even be angry about the slaughter of MY FUCKING PEOPLE. Innocents. Civilians. Fucking CHILDREN. The slaughter of the Palestinian people. Innocents. Civilians. FUCKING CHILDREN.

Without one of you absolute fucking monsters deciding to slap some shit on an unrelated post about how "uwu op defends an apartheid state just ignore that"? Do you have to make it part of EVERYTHING I do? Do you consider everything I put out there tainted somehow because I don't support your joy, your cheering, your unrestrained GLEE at the murder of Jews? Do I need to publish a fucking thesis on my stance on Israel, Palestine, and their respective governments like a fucking disclaimer any time I want to talk about myself, my oppression, my experience as a Jew, or a disabled person, or a queer person, because you fuckers cannot for five seconds be NORMAL about Jews?

To decide to slap something about Israel and Palestine on a post I made about MY oppression, about how people will oppress you no matter who you actually are- it all depends who they think you are. It's a bit ironic, isn't it? Doesn't QUITE fit, but it's funny that someone would read that post, agree with it, and then think "Ah yes, THIS is the place to put some tags about how OP, a Jew who has been reeling for the last couple of weeks about the violence, who has been checking on their Israeli friends every day to make sure they aren't fucking dead, who is dealing with vicious antisemitism from people who they thought were friends, who watched as the people claiming to be progressive supporters of human rights on this hellsite and others OVERWHELMINGLY reply to the murder of their people with good they deserved it fuck you, is CLEARLY a defender of an apartheid state and that makes them a bad person because something something I don't know what nuance tastes like and I am a bigoted ass."

I am TIRED.

#antisemitism #i/p #seriously I am exhausted #fuck all of you #I can count on my hands how many people have actually been supportive and kind to me #I have LOST count of how many people #both online and IRL #have either been dismissive and cold #or outright HAPPY that Jews died and will continue to die #I have lost count of how many people here I thought were decent human beings #who I had to block because they responded with a resounding GOOD to what hamas did #and now you fucking antisemitic fucks are dragging this shit onto unrelated posts #and that's nothing NEW you've always been like this #but it is especially exhausting now #the fact that this shit is coming from like #other Americans too? #are you fucking KIDDING ME? #You LIVE here and you don't control everything the fucking government does #but oh every Israeli civilian is responsible and they deserve to be killed #just call me a kike and go instead of doing that shit #at least the Nazis are direct about how much they want me dead #although frankly I'm having trouble telling the difference these days #between you leftist fucks and the Nazis

be on the side that saves people

#this idea came to me very suddenly but YEAH coffee shop au. but only if it's set in the canon universe #doodles #comic #dazai's donut shop #skk #soukoku #brief lore exposition: #instead of joining the port mafia. mori makes dazai find purpose in life through food service #in a mafia owned bakery obviously but the sentiment is there #and dazai is ESSENTIALLY a civilian #anyways since dazai's not around for fifteen chuuya gets pulled in an arguably.... less peaceful way. #mori personally takes to mentoring him tho. soften the blow soften the blow. #chuuya's feeling really depressed lately. he might have made some friends. he may have mori. but we know that chuuya's not built to be happ #and then: a chance encounter at the local bakery.

Abso-fucking-lutely vibing with World's Finest: Teen Titans' addition of Karen as one of the founding members.

Because good fucking god, before this the team was two demigods, two billionaire teens and a Normal Kid™ in neon yellow BUT NOW?! Now it's two demigods, two billionaire teens and TWO Normal Kids™ in neon yellow!

No but seriously though Wally is the only one who has to like... mow the lawn and watch his neighbor's cat when they go away for the long weekend. He's the only one who knows how to mail a letter at the post office and how much pencils cost at a book fair. He's got superpowers and terrible parents and yet somehow he is the MOST NORMAL ONE THERE.

Which speaks volumes about the rest of them tbh.

But now!!! Karen and Wally get to be nerds ✨together✨ and they get free tickets to watch the trainwrecks that the other Teen Titans call life

Seriously though I think these two are aggressively trying to be friends with each other while also roleplaying their 'cool guy' hero personas, which is extremely funny to me. These two are absolute nerds with no friends in school and they are DESPERATE for a friend and they've just met but they've both decided "Yeah that one. That one is friend shaped"

Wally: you move too slow

Karen: learn how to fly dumbass

Anyway I love them

#this is really fun because its like the og titans series where Wally took one look at Mal and was like :O NEW BEST FRIEND #(important to note that mal was a random ass civilian and not even remotely a hero and Wally offered him a spot on the titans right there) #but Karen joined before Mal here and instead of Wally glomming on THEY'VE BOTH GLOMMED ON #TO EACH OTHER #anyway i just think that's beautiful #go off you beautiful neon yellow bastard children. you have terrible homes lives and too much trauma but i hope you have fun being silly #they deserve to be silly together #and maybe they should both go to therapy. not together just in general. i think theyd both benefit #like absolute vibes that they have panic attacks with each other. i stan that they trust each other #but also. therapy queens. pls go #dc #dc comics #the flash #kid flash #wally west #karen beecher #bumblebee #worlds finest teen titans #teen titans #titans

There is exactly one criticism that I agree with my, very anti-Jedi, cousin on and that's the Jedi were TERRIBLE Generals. Generals may TRY to make sure their men mostly come back. But useless sacrifices are not only acceptable, but expected, the men are mostly expandable in war. The Jedi did not consider sacrifices like that acceptable or expected. Sure it did happen. It was WAR. But they tried their best to make sure it DIDN'T. The Jedi were terrible Generals. But they were the teachers and Leaders the CLONES NEEDED.

I'm not sure I'd ENTIRELY agree with that. I think I'd be willing to agree that the Jedi were perhaps less CONVENTIONAL Generals, and they definitely do seem to at least TRY to place the lives of their men above just tossing them away for an easy victory, but you can just as easily claim that keeping the men alive to keep fighting is a good strategy in and of itself.

The biggest piece of evidence I'd point to that the Jedi were actually perfectly good Generals is the Citadel arc and Tarkin's criticisms. The one real criticism he makes of the Jedi as military leaders is that they're occasionally too soft and will abandon a mission if it looks impossible to win without near total casualties (on either side). But he's generally fairly positive about the Jedi and if they were truly awful at their jobs, I don't think TARKIN of all people would hold back on saying so, even to the Jedi's faces.

And we DO see the Jedi willing to make sacrifices and accepting that this is a necessary part of war. The Citadel arc is, again, a perfectly good example of this. Obi-Wan and Anakin go in with like 3-4 men each I think and they come back with a grand total of 3 (Rex, Cody, and Fives). A LOT of clones die on this mission that they all KNEW was basically a suicide mission because the Jedi themselves decided that getting the information about the hyperspace lanes was vital enough to the war that it was worth losing multiple lives over (including their own).

So it's not that the Jedi don't understand that sacrifices are necessary in war or even that they avoid it entirely, they just avoid what they see as UNNECESSARY sacrifice for what might amount to a fairly minor victory. Keeping more of their men alive might, in the long run, be a better strategic choice than losing all of them on one campaign, especially if it's over like one uninhabited moon or something like that. There's nothing to say that the losses the Jedi deem acceptable are things that would've changed the entire tide of the war had they chosen to push forward instead.

The other good evidence that the Jedi acting this way would've been the WORSE choice is the Umbara arc. We are told and then see that Krell IS the kind of General who is willing to lose a lot of clones in order to gain victories in battle, and the clones do recognize that he has a lot of victories under his belt. But never once do they discuss whether those victories really MEANT anything or had a large impact on the war effort. It certainly never seems that the Republic is majorly pushing back the Separatists because of Krell's victories, nobody ever mentions that Krell gained them a major advantage with those victories or took out anyone of any consequence on the Separatist side with his strategies. And by the time he gets to Umbara, he's explicitly using this strategy to WEAKEN the Republic side and cause a loss. Several of his strategies WOULD'VE meant the Republic lost on Umbara and it's only the clones utilizing different strategies that put fewer of them at risk that they actually end up continuing to HAVE victories at all.

I'll also point out that the Jedi continuously getting their men killed en masse would've bankrupted the Republic a LOT earlier because they'd have to be paying for more clones a LOT more often than they did in canon and I can't imagine anyone would've considered that a particularly sound strategy and at some point I'm sure the Senate would've felt obligated to put a stop to it anyway and insisted on strategies that kept more clones alive for longer. So I'm not sure it's fair to claim the Jedi were utilizing BAD strategy by not just exclusively using tactics that meant most of their men were killed for every single victory.

So the ONLY criticism we EVER see of the Jedi's ability as military leaders is Tarkin claiming they're "too soft" and Tarkin is the kind of person who would likely say that until the Jedi started carpet bombing entire Separatist planets. Would it give them a victory? Yeah, sure, maybe, but that's the exact same strategy the Separatists are using and look how well that works out for THEM. Everything else we ever see seems to showcase that the Jedi are in fact perfectly good Generals, not just in that they're kind to the clones and are unwilling to carpet bomb Separatist planets, but also because they're just... good at this. They CAN be strategic, they CAN run wars if they want to. And I think that's the whole point of the Jedi in some ways is that yes, they CAN make war when they need to, they just actively choose NOT TO every time they can. THIS is why Qui-Gon tells Padme that he and Obi-Wan are there to protect her but that they can't win this war for her and they end up going off to fight off a Sith while Padme has to actually win the war with her own people and the Gungans instead. The Jedi don't WANT to be in the position of doing nothing but fighting, but they're absolutely capable of this kind of work.

That's the tragedy of the war in some ways, the Jedi ARE good at this no matter how much they wish they weren't sometimes. But being good at it means they can actually protect the Republic, their own men, and even the Separatist civilians better, so they're not going to just sit there and do things that will screw over a bunch of people. Yes, they're going to fight the war in such a way that they reduce casualties as much as possible, but reducing casualties also requires doing enough to not LOSE the damn war, too. It's a delicate balance they're trying to hold on to and I'd argue they manage it better than anybody else would've ever done in their position.

#star wars #jedi #pro jedi #clones #clone troopers #the clone wars #listen i am not a strategist #i CERTAINLY am not a military strategist #but just looking at what we're shown and told by tcw and the films i think it's fairly the clear the jedi were GOOD at being generals #regardless of whether they LIKED that or not #yes they wanted to protect the clones but they weren't idiots and they clearly weren't causing the republic to lose all the time either #there's a difference between strategically retreating from battles that can only be won by massive casualties with little to no reward #and prioritizing saving the clones OVER necessary victories in the war #the jedi are doing the former to my perspective #if they weren't i think the republic would've been a lot worse off just in general #unless we're about to start claiming that the clones and/or civilian officers were doing all of the real work instead of the jedi #which i personally would not #esp since we see the jedi sitting there going over battle plans and coming up with their own strategies quite often #tarkin's opinion on the matter is suspect - don't take his word for it when he says the jedi are too soft

DP x DC PROMPT

Jasmine Al'Ghul has her time divided into simple quarters.

Make sure Danyal Al'Ghul is well taken care of with the Fenton family ( no wonder anyone who bullies Danny or his friends end up missing [in this au]).

Teach and care for Damain Al'Ghul inside the league.

Train into becoming a better shadow and right hand for the next heir.

Complete missions for Ra Al'Ghul himself.

Fortunately, Taila has decided it would be for best for Jasmine to continue caring for Danyal as Damian goes to live with his father while she deals with the leagues problems and search for her missing father.

That means Jasmine will not be spending time with Damian during his ( sister time) six months. And he will realise that after she doesn't come after 8 months to his father's family/house.

Unfortunately for everyone, Damian refuses to live without his beloved elder sister, and will do anything to take her back.

---------

Now, do Damian and Danny hate each other for taking up sister time or do they love each other?

#Since Jazz is taught by the best. #Danny's accident will not happen #instead she makes sure the portal works without her getting hurt too #danny is taught by jazz how to assassin #so he defeats ghosts with technology while his siter takes care of stronger opponents #OR #jaz defeats ghosts by herself to ensure Danny's safety #Damian wants his big sister DAMIT #no taila he will NOT STAND FOR THIS #dp x dc #dc x dp #dpxdc #dcxdp #Bruce just wondering why damian is obsessed with this random civilian to the point of him creating a new bat persona for her #why is she the al ghuls whole family brain cell holder #because she reads self help books #duh

Tim never becoming robin but his parents still dying and him taking over Drake industries as a teenager which turns out to be actually very successful somehow and then uses that exclusively to fuck up lex luthors evil plans

“Oh, did you want that weapons contact? Turns out I made a deal with those guys last week, better luck next time!”

“Lex! You wanted to hire that tech specialist? I just set him up with a great job working on a project overseas, oh I can't quite remember where he's located now! Looks like it'll be a while until you can get in touch with him!”

“The company I just bought was producing an important machine piece for you? Unfortunately we had to discontinue that item due to some errors, you know how quality control can be.”

“Guess what! I just bought the rights to a very important type of laser technology and I'm suing everyone who uses it without permission! Just business, you understand!”

And of course lex tries to kill him but he keeps being saved just in time by various superheros (he probably has someone's personal cell number or an alarm he wired to go to oracle & the watchtower) 

Just civilian Tim doing mental warfare with lex and heros being like "stop antagonizing supervillains!!!!!" And Tim being like "what? I can't hear you over the sound of lex coming to kill me again because I outbid him for his security chief"

#tim drake #red robin #batman #without a secret identity in need of protecting tim fully commits to being a chaotic force as CEO #the heros are like WHY are you doing this #and Tim is like well I'm emotionally stunted and walking on the wire edge between bad decisions and dying makes me feel alive #the bats are like okay that's valid #and the rest of the JL is like 'NO!! ITS NOT!!' #personally I like Tim being rescued the most by the bats and core 4 (3?) YJ bc. Batfam and also core 4. Also timkon. Or timbart. #I don't ship Tim/Cassie but I love them being close friends who get sad and emotionally vulnerable together #Mostly bc I always think of them hardcore trauma bonding when Bart and Kon die #But tim casually calling heros civilian phone numbers like hi flash im in keystone rn and some guys beat me up and threw me in a trunk #I think they're gonna drive it into a river could u come pick me up #also I'm sure Tim could fuck with other villains too #I just was thinking abt how funny it is to have a teenage tim as CEO and being peers w lex bc of it #tim keeps copywriting symbols/color schemes Gotham villains #he buys some carnival grounds the joker likes and turns it into a water park instead #silly au where tim is kind of op #but in a fun way #dc

People who think Palestinians wanting equal rights to live on their own land equates to wanting to genocide Jewish people are actually telling on themselves

#‘millions of Jewish people will be killed’ your Jewish majority state is going to have deaths if constantly engaging in warfare and genocide #if it wasn’t happening because of that then maybe it’s because your Jewish majority state professionally harasses civilians #instead of any form of oppositional military force while invading their land #the arrogance #‘millions of Jewish people would be displaced’ have you not heard of negotiating #have you not seen millions of Palestinians been displaced from their literal homes #this is not to mention the amount of refugees in the surrounding countries due to wars already #if you think a lack of Jewish supremacy in the area is tantamount to ‘killing millions of Jews’ idk what to tell you #Palestinians want to not die and Zionists are out here saying that means they want to kill everyone #and then they will accuse you of not knowing what Zionism is or what genocide is or what apartheid is or what oppression looks like #they will accuse you of not knowing what the word indigenous means #clownery #Palestine #if you pretend being in support of Palestine is about hating Jewish people instead of trying to resolve ongoing genocide by a colonial state #then you’ve lost legitimacy #there is enough antisemitism out there that you don’t have to conflate a struggle against oppression with it to prove it exists #the same way you don’t need to prove who is endorsing to commit genocide when people deny that is what’s happening #the same way you don’t need to prove which side wants peace in the region and which side continues torturing children even without a war

sometimes fandom forgets this but actually adrien & marinette are much closer friends than marinette & chat noir are. like yes marinette is nervous around adrien but at this point she’s had many successful conversations with him, they see each other every day, they have shared secrets and exchanged presents. chat noir and marinette have interacted like five times. yes some of those times included a heart to heart and shared vulnerability but it’s more like 2 drunk strangers commiserating at a bar. which is great and i fully support that. but adrien and marinette are just like. normal friends. friends who are secretly obsessed with each other yes but otherwise normal friends.

#chat noir and marinette being practically strangers except both knowing each other super well is actually a highly underrated #part of marichat dynamic #anyways yes this is inspired by me seeing yet another fic where adrien? thinks? marinette will talk to chat? instead of civilian him? #maybe in season 3 babes but not post puppeteer ii #once again i’m asking fandom to not snooze on puppeteer ii development #miraculous ladybug #noodling

vague non con adjacent idea

imagine working in a haunted house with some kind of wax museum / living statue theme, and you’re one of the statues

imagine it’s a slow night, and Vincent Sinclair comes through alone, pausing to admire you up close.

you’re waiting for just the right moment to scare him, letting him get close enough to touch you. you let him, somehow.

he’s moving slowly and from what you can see of his half covered face, he’s handsome in his own right. maybe that’s why you let him touch the fabric of your costume?

it’s not like this guy is some pervert who’s trying to grope your ass or anything. he feels the fabric of your coat between his fingers and raises an eyebrow, nods, looks back at your face, and smooths your coat back down.

he looks around quickly. no one is nearby, and you can’t hear anyone coming up behind him, either.

the man reaches into your coat, feeling his way down your side - and stops.

he looks up at your face, eyes wide, and slowly pulls his hand back.

you grab his arm before he can get away.

“at least buy me a drink first!”

#nasty attic originals #Vincent sinclair x Reader #slasher x reader #non con tw #dub con tw #btw I’m picturing he’s in civilian ish clothes #so no wax mask but instead a half mask prosthetic #or like idk a COVID safe mask + his hair covering his eyes #this is fun for Vincent but full disclosure if I wrote this for Bo he wouldn’t stop to check you’re a statue before copping a feel LMAO
