#let him live a normal life

[ew-selfish-art]

DP x DC AU: Danny desperately wants to find the explosion guy. Tim is really good at covering his tracks... he didn't account for ghosts.

The explosions make it onto TV as purported terror activity and most people haven't heard of that part of the world much less ever given a second thought to care about it. The only real reason it gets reported on has something to do with the Justice League and... Danny knows too much.

He's been in training for Clockwork's court (which he's suspicious of- feels like kingly duty bullshit- but Danny is playing along out of curiosity for now) and he's learned a lot about how the living and non-living worlds collide. That means learning about CW's usual suspects- one of which just happened to have a ton of bases around the area Danny was seeing on the news.

It didn't take long for Danny to try to piece together that whoever blew up Nanda Parbat was trying to fuck with the League of Shadows, and was doing it successfully. Less green portals in the world the better, same goes for assassins. But it gets Danny thinking... Maybe he can employ similar tactics on the GIW Bases that keep spawning on the edges of Amity Park. It would at least set them back while he and his friends navigated the help line desk to request Justice League intervention. None of them can leave Amity Park, so outreach is going to have to be creative.

So Danny figures he'll just find the guy. Call up some ghosts who were there, or er, came from there and get a profile and track him down. But the ghosts keep saying it was The Detective. Annoying!

Danny goes full conspiracy theory, gets Tucker and Sam involved, and begrudgingly asks Wes Weston his thoughts.

He hadn't expected Wes to garble out a thirty minute presentation (that had 100 more slides left to go before he cut it off) about how Batman totally trained with a cult and so did his kids. Danny kind of rolled his eyes but... hey, new avenue of searching in the Infinite Realms at least.

The ghosts confirm that Bombs is for sure not Batman's MO- But maybe his second kid would know? The second kid was already brought back to life though, so no way to easily reach him... Danny starts to realize that this might be the work of a Robin now. Wasn't the red one known for solving cold cases? (Sam provides this information- its a social faux pas to not know hero gossip at Gotham Galas- everything she's learned is against her will).

It all comes to a head when Danny goes about the hard task of opening a portal for the guy to come through at just the right time, explain the infinite realms so he doesn't panic and then describe what the fuck was going on with the GIW. It takes months, just over a full year, of random (educated guesses) portal generating- Finally, Red Robin drops into the land of the dead.

"So, you're the guy I've got to talk to about explosions right?" Danny enthusiastically asks.

Tim thinks he's died and landed in the after life following 56 hours of being awake and plummeting off the side of a building into a Lazarus pool. Nothing makes sense about the kid in front of him.

"Yeah, I got a guy for munitions." Tim answers cooly.

"How do you feel about secretly sanctioned government operations that violate protected rights?"

"Gotta get rid of 'em some how. Need me to point you in the right direction?" This might as well be happening.

Do y'all also think about how Cardan went from telling Jude she was destined to and deserving of death to being like Jude dies over my dead body? Or are you normal?

#and how Madoc said Cardan would always see Jude as inferior to him (for being fae implied) #that said more about how Madoc saw Eva that anything else in the books to me #maybe she is no longer mortal as queen or maybe she is #Cardan will still risk his life to save hers #it might have started in TWK with Cardan letting Roiben's court be decimated to save Jude's life #the realization that he cared for her short life more than any long-living creature around #normal is the wrong answer #jude duarte #cardan greenbriar #tfota #the cruel prince #matter not #the wicked king #the queen of nothing #the prisoner's throne #jurdan

i think. something that a lot of young queer kids who engage in online discourse don’t realize is that none of it matters in the real world. at all. i have been in so many queer spaces with queer people of all ages and never once have i witnessed anyone ever make a fuss about someone’s identity. i’ve seen lesbians who identify as dudes in the same room as the most femme women you’ll ever meet. fagdykes and dykefags and old bisexuals who call themselves half gay or half lesbian because that’s just the terminology they’re used to. and no one cares. no one even acknowledges these things half the time because it’s all just normal. it’s the queer experience. if you do make a fuss, a lot of people aren’t going to debate their right to exist with you. they’re going to ask you to leave, because you’re being a dick. and in my experience, if you do find a place that does care, that regulates and polices identities and labels, there’s a 90% chance you’ve found yourself in some terf-ran bullshit, because exclusionism is and always has been rooted in terf ideology. no one else gains anything from creating walls and strict limits in queerness. no one.

#icarus speaks #discourse #idk. carson’s got me thinking again #i genuinely can’t stress enough how no one gives two shits #people think it’s cool!!! weird fucky identities are awesome!!! #it’s not something ppl get caught up on. it’s brought up maybe once depending on the function #but aside from that. you just interact like normal fucking humans #bc no one cares that the dyke in the corner calls himself a boyfriend. let him live his life #what are you a cop has become a meme but it’s genuinely what it’s like

i need a fic of soap bringing ghost home to his family for the holidays. his family’s always disapproved of everything; being queer, being in the military, being with ghost and it’s all over not a great time but they’re trying to pretend for the sake of the holiday. they get into it after dinner one night though and for once soap isn’t backing down, not when it’s ghost they’re attacking, when the power suddenly goes out. soap moves just in time for a shot to come through the window and he orders his family to get down

graves and what’s left of shadow company followed them to glasgow; it’s the first time they’ve been away from the 141 and they think it’ll be their best chance to take them out. johnny and simon are left behind as they become soap and ghost and soap’s childhood home becomes a battleground, his hysterical family who still think he can’t be that good of a soldier now civilians that he has to protect and get out in one piece

#its the full gambit of sisters with their partners and kids #all with respectable normal jobs and lives #then theres john still running around playing soldier and now shacking up with his commanding officer #soaps been quiet the entire time just gritting his teeth and letting them have go after go in the name of peace #ghosts been fuming the entire time but his own family trauma and not wanting to go against johnnys wishes keeps his mouth shut #and then that instant switch the second the bullet comes through the window #theyre sergeant mactavish and lieutenant ghost now and they dont give a single shit about anything butgetting out alive #‘we need to call the police!’ #‘call local pd who’re drunk off their arses and never fired their guns in their fucking lives yeah right’ #‘this isnt the time for you to play soldier’ #‘youre right. this isnt a game. its war and youre gonna shut the fuck up and let me get you outta this alive’ #ghost sneaks upstairs to get the hidden guns he brought and to get one of the kids whod been napping #soap stays to get everyone out of the way and watch out for hostiles #ghost slides him a sniper rifle and he takes out the sniper on the opposite roof and when he looks back at his family theyre #looking at him like theyve never seen him before #i just need soap whos been underestimated his entire life showing just how competent he really is #soapghost #ghostsoap #soap mactavish #soap cod #ghost cod #simon ghost riley #we’re a team. ghost team

loving it keep it coming

#usually ‘they cannot be normal about eachother or the whole universe explodes’ is just a funny exaggeration thing people like to say about- #-characters they like but with these two it is quite literally canonically true. the whole universe is forever stained because of how much- #rick and morty love eachother and how intense they are when it comes to eachouther #of course this is highly exaggerated but yeah #rick will hang out with this little guy and expose him to the whole world and be the only source of comfort in both that and his normal- #-life and then be surprised when that little guy doesn’t let go of him and wants to stay with him forever and never want him to replace him #and kf course only because morty did the same to rick. he saw everything able to be seen by human eyes and then after everything only then- #-he discovered the single greatest thing ever which is Morty My Grandson Morty :). and he absolutely broke ricks heart by the smallest- #-things and drove him crazy with just how much he adores him and wants him to live and would do and sacrifice anything and he wouldn’t just #-die for morty he does that every week. he’d LIVE for morty and that’s much harder for him #but hed do anything. how the hell did i end up rambling about them like this #ive written thousands of words about these fuckers just today alone i think its safe to say. #rick and morty #odieart #odiespeak

why does it feel like the only people who actually understand Kai's personality end up being autistic people. Saw someone say he's cold and overly serious. I'm sorry?? are we talking about the same character?? The guy who forced Joe to call him Mr. Kebab?? The same dude whohad major beef with Alice over a fucking necklace??? Who chased Reko to tell her ghost stories?? Fuck in the manga he's such a little dweeb constantly.

Just because he's monotone and, I will die on this hill, has MANY autistic traits and or symptoms it doesn't mean he's this cool calm collected dude with his life together. This sounds like utter gibberish but all I wanted to do today was happily scroll through the Kai Satou tag and was slapped in the face with mischaracterization every now and again. To quote Nao he is simply silly and cute. And heavily burdened by the sins of his family as well as his own. But that's another story

#Kai Satou #your turn to shine #yttd #joe tazuna #nao egokoro #sara chidouin #reko yabusame #alice yabusame #yttd kai #I'm so normal about him (lie) #I have so many opinions and thoughts on his character #why do so many ppl fail to understand him he's like the guy ever #also yes i did see someone say kai had his life put together and just stared at it for a bit because HOW #motherfucker vehemently lived by serving other people he has no sense of self worth/value #and is terrified of letting himself get close to good people out of fear that he'll hurt them #and that SUCKS because that's EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED ☹️ #i could go more in depth but i'm thinking so many thoughts abt the satou family #theyre so tragic

Thinking about how fucked up it is that in htb au, Mark is alive but Sarah thinks he's dead. That he's been dead for 17 years. Her grandparents don't talk about him. There are no photos. The bedroom she vaguely remembers him having is just a spare room filled with junk. She remembers how he left one day after she went crying to her grandparents, telling them he'd shoved her, that he'd hurt her and by the time she came back from the hospital with stitches Mark was gone.

And she blamed herself for that even though it wasn't her fault.

She waited for him to come back home for months, sitting by the window when it was too cold to be outside, waiting on the porch whenever she could. Hoping he was going to turn that corner at any second and he'd be home again. And she could tell him how sorry she was for making him go away. How she wasn't angry at him for having pushed her that day. That she loves him, she loves him, she loves him.

But that day never comes. And those words are never exchanged. And when she asks her grandparents if Mark was dead they don't tell her he's alive. And she has to live with that guilt - telling herself that if she hadn't been such a baby, if she hadn't annoyed her brother that day, then he'd still be here. All she has left of him is a stuffed toy she doesn't remember him giving her and the scar left behind from that argument.

She lives with that for 17 years - the idea that she drove her brother away and got him killed. 17 years.

Anyway, yeah, I'm so normal about this AU you guys, I swear-

#hail true body au #tmc #tmc au #htb sarah #htb mark #meanwhile mark is still alive somewhere with a found family and she got left behind #he left her behind #and she can't help but feel that it's because he hates her #that he's never let go of that argument that happened 17 years ago #that she was and still is a bad sister #that she was never worth coming home for #that she grew up in his shadow all that time - trying to make up for killing him by living the life he should've had the chance to #and all that time he was alive. all that time she mourned a brother who never came back for her #and it's hard not to be bitter and so easy to be goddamn angry about that #she is so so angry #i am so normal about the heathcliff siblings in this au- gdjdbksdgjs #sorry for the rambling #anyway. fuck the reeds. shittest grandparents ever.

its insane that cinderpelt used to be such a popular character that even tho they killed her for their story- they made it clear she was instantly reborn and would become a warrior!! but then they retconned it when it got too weird and made it to where she was "possessing" cinderheart. and now i dont think shes even been featured in starclan since then- at least not prominently to my memory

they could have just... kept the reincarnation plotline! and not had cinderheart have a weird crisis of self (which only exists to give lionblaze something to do in his chapters other than go on patrols) but whatever... i just miss cinderpelt

#warriors #waca #i also think firestar should have mentored her #even if he didnt know about the reincatnation it would be cool for him to see cinderpelt in her and want to finish her warrior training #sers tho taking out reincarnation is so dumb like we could have that be a choice cats make- cinderpelt wanted to come back right away! #after all her siblings and many loved ones were still alive- esp leafpool her apprentice she left behind on such bad terms #it could also explain faded cats/double dead cats r reborn and get another shot of life #tigerstar and hawkfrost could be unimportant bg characters right now #no theyre not splashtail that would be boring #let them live normal reincarnated lives #warrior cats #text

going crazy about kaz brekker hours

#HE'S JUST *screams into a pillow* #Inej wants him to be better she NEEDS him to be better and shed his armour and be emotionall vulnerable and honest to her #and every time he tries it life delivers a right hook into his solar plexus and knocks him to hell and back #and time and time again he is made to come to the incorrect conclusion that being vulnerable and soft and caring about anyone ever #is a mistake and a weakness that he isn't allowed that he doesn't deserve #and his only way of getting what he wants and keeping the people he loves safe is if he becomes something that can't love them #like life just continues to punish him for having any kind of feelings #and he can only love them if he kills the part of himself that loves them. like COME ON MAN #i'm literally unwell about this kid (KID HE'S FUCKING 17 LET HIM LIVE) #someone sedate me (well actually don't i need to start reading CK tonight) #Kaz I Am Ruin And Ruination Brekker #and it's so tragic because he has come such a long way during SoC and when Inej asks him to be hers you know he can't do it. he would like #to but he's unable of it like his walls are still built up so high. #and it's fair of her to ask because she needs that and keeping her always at arms length is not viable of Kaz but also that's all he can #currently give her. that's his all and it's not enough and my heart is breaking for them ohmygod #they make me think so much of felonies love square I'LL EAT GLASS #okay. anyway. finished six of crows. i'm normal about them. #mia's reading

If you rlly think abt it, I'm pretty sure the neighbors are well aware there are dopplegangers of themselves roaming around

#I mean- I think it'd be kinda silly if they had this whole security measure for it and not know the reason why #verification for your identity. making sure you're the right person. seems like it'll be obvious there are ppl (tho in this case- monsters)- #-that are trying to replicate your identity and steal it #there's also this one clip I saw where the doorman lets in the long neck angus doppel. and soon after- the real alf arrrives #when the doorman tries questioning alf abt his documents via the checklist- alf starts scolding the doorman/player for letting in a doppel #getting mad if they were blind or smth and stuff like that #which confirms to me that the neighbors are well aware there are copies of them walking around #but they try to live their life normally still even if that was the case #(gonna try the vid I found the clip in as well just to show y'all proof) #on another note- I actually also saw... the actual clip of the francis doppel begging #yeah there's. an actual dialogue in game where he begs for his life @ the player. #it. it rewired my brain in a way. I won't lie to u HRJEHFSJHRDJFHS #IT JUST. GODDAMNNN MANN... 🧍‍♂️ I wonder if there are other doppels who beg for their lives in game #or is it just the francis doppel? the clip I saw showed it wad the francis doppel begging... #reminds me. also heard there's this situation where francis' dialogue changes when u call him? #i'm not sure on how to trigger it but HRKEHFJSHF ITS THE REASON WHY I CALLED HIM 3 TIMES IN THAT ONE VIDEO I POSTED #I WANTED TO SEE THAT DIALOGUE CHANGE BC I HEARD THERE IS ONE #haven't seen it but. one day I Will Okay #trust in me #also speaking of this game- this is why I was double checking dialogue sometimes #depending on the circumstances or situation- it can change. and it's usually hard to come by unless u do specific choices #and considering the doppels and neighbors are probably rng on who comes in. it gets harder to come by #unless u play this game a lot. which. might be the reason why there's a 100 playthrough achievement LMAO #see. can u see how normal I am rn abt this game. it's got me in a chokehold it's just so interesting to me #a feather from an angel's wing (talk)

By the way, my God, Orion’s dad is an absolute wanker. Obviously he cares that Orion gets to live a good, decent, human life. Unlike Ophelia who would have very promptly sacrificed it for the sake of having Orion be the weapon she wanted.

But my God, dude, you know exactly why Orion is the way he is, and here you are crying all over his eighteen year old girlfriend for it. He must know, at least suspect, Orion is not dead, but he hasn’t a qualm about squeezing El for the glorious relief of finding out Orion has feelings, while she is sitting there dumb with grief, thinking he’s being slowly digested by a maw-mouth.

El really is the World’s Angriest Saint, and Balthazar Lake is a fucking wanker.
