timcassie is so compelling to me. they were not into each other even a little bit. it was such a messy coping mechanism fuelled entirely by grief. they were making out with each other because they were both substituting each other for kon. cassie was far more aware she was doing this than tim was. unironically, dating a girl here is one of the gayest things tim has done

#rimi talks #it is SO messy and its so fun. i don't think geoff even realized the implications but they sure are there when you read it #god... you know its BAD when modern comics have me missing tt03 of all Fucking comics #but like. todays ''tell don't show'' writers would N E V E R do something this interesting #tom taylor would be all. oh! tim we shouldn't kiss. i'm just substituting you for kon because i miss him and you were his best friend!#and then he'd have tim go oh wow cassie you're right i didn't realize that! my bad. all forgiven? yay!!! :)#GOD YOU KNOW ITS BAD OUT HERE WHEN I THINK *GEOFF* DID SOMETHING RIGHT. GOD. GOD #GEOFF MY MORTAL ENEMY GEOFF. grits teeth yeah geoffrey i have to give you this one............#its just such a deliciously unhealthy coping mechanism. theyre a MESS. theyre using each other. theyre only able to go on bc of each other #its not a romance but it IS a codependency #bart isn't even dead yet when this happens. like. he's just off being the flash.#bart (extremely depressed bc he couldnt stop sbp and hold him in the speed force forever): :| ok #not his circus. not his monkeys.#well it is his monkeys even if he left the circus. but he's too depressed to deal with it #but its so fun. this relationship is haunted. there's a ghost in the middle. they both want to kiss him instead of each other.#tim #cassie #timcassie

DPxDC snippet/prompt:

-

“John.”

Zantanna’s voice had that cadence to it. Faintly strangled. Forcibly calm. Her rising blood pressure and rapidly approaching limit for his special brand of excitement evident in every single letter of his name.

Felt like old times.

“Z.” He said, smoke curling out of his mouth and billowing towards the dreary grey sky above. The one nice thing about Gotham, it had the same gloomy dark ambience of ol’ London town. “Long time no see. How’s show biz been treating you?”

He saw the faintest of twitches at the corner of her eye. Could almost hear her counting to ten in her head. He smiled at her winningly, leaning back against the damp bricks of the alleyway as he waited. More smoke drifted upward from beside him in time with a bored sigh. Patience was running out on all sides it seemed.

“That’s a child.”

“Sharp as ever.” He said, taking another drag. He nudged the child in question beside him gently with his elbow, glancing down with a sly grin. “See this is why the Justice League pay her the big bucks. Nothing gets past our Zantanna Zatara.”

He got a cloud of smoke blown directly in his face for that, little shit.

“John.”

“Z.”

“Why do you have a child? Why is the child smoking?”

“Long story.” He said with a wave of his hand.

“I learned it from watching him.” The kid said, with the same cadence as that old American commercial. All dramatic and overwrought emotion. The gremlin swooned against John's side in an imitation of collapse, hand holding the lit bifter coming up to their forhead to really sell the melodrama. He nudged his ghostly companion off, grinning at Zantanna’s slipping patience as he did.

“Don’t worry about it. Kid's fine.”

“A child wandering around with you in a dark ally in Gotham smoking cigarettes is fine?”

“I mean, I’m already dead. And short. It’s not like smoking is gonna be able to do any worse to me.”

#dpxdc #dpxdc prompt #john constantine #zantanna zatara #dani phantom #danielle phantom #elle phantom #danny fenton #i wrote this with Elle in mind since I have an entire Paper Moon AU brewing in my head with her & John #but it absolutely could be danny instead #zantanna is already so done with all of this #she's having flashbacks of John smoking in the corner with baby Jason Todd when the kid was still Robin and Bruce losing his shit about it #she wants to say not her circus not her monkeys *so badly*#but very unfortunately John and his bullshit probably is her deranged little monkey in her very on fire circus #and now he's got a feral dead kid following him around this can't be good

For you divorce baby Au: Jetstorm and Jetfire. It's a comedy film in my mind, I can just imagine the chaos two (flying?/hovering?) baby orbs can chaos in elite guard headquarters, driving everyone nuts, dodging all the hands trying to grab them, the go to baby sitter who can keep up is Blurr.

ps. all your au's and art are amazing

i HAVE thought about the jettwins in a proto-orb scenario though its a lil different than what uve described

they cant fly until they get limbs and little baby thrusters but they sure can use their other powers. also the part about blurr i drew something stupid and then remembered rise of safeguard actually takes place during season 2. have it anyway

#blurr wouldnt be involved anyway not his monkeys not his circus #my art #orbabies #clarification also divorcebaby is ratchet with protoform optimus the general orb shenanigans are just. in the orbabies tag #jazz tfa #sentinel prime tfa #perceptor tfa #wheeljack tfa #once again not . really gonna tag the orbguys #wheeljack has a mustache and beard but no mouth. got rid of it so he wouild stop ingesting poisonous gasses #BASICALLY what happened was. well when the original refinery workers fucking Exploded the only way they were able to stay alive #w how damaged they were was for them to turn back into protoforms. so theyre kind of like. entirely different guys now. except not really t #theyre exactly the same as they were before they just fly now. but on paper they're new guys. and also fetuses at the moment #transformers animated

Dick came over to hang out with the family, he was taking Titus out for a walk and comes back in terrified and outta breath, having to explain what’s wrong: It was like something out of a horror film. It was nearly pitch black in the back yard with the sky dark blue and starless, barely lighting the ground, the grass was darker than the sky. I took him to his favorite tree, but he just stood there, he didn’t go to the bathroom, he just stared out like someone was there, stalking us. As I looked around, I felt queasy. I didn't know what was out there, but I knew it was for sure out there. I started walking back with him, and as we walked, I heard another person's footsteps, but I didn't dare look back. I just sprinted back in

Jason, in muddy shoes after purposely scaring the shit outta dick in the back yard: yeah crazy

#scaring your siblings brings a whole different kinda dopamine rush fr #as a sibling I can confirm #on another night dick may have investigated but he said not my monkeys not my circus and noped outta there #someone who actually lives there can deal with that problem #his only responsibility is to make it to the manor alive #dick grayson #jason todd #batfam #batkids #bat family #incorrect batfamily quotes

@lea-andres you actually cannot do this to me I giggling too much at this

"Pre-owned House-Ninja! Free to a good home!

After minutes of consideration, Myself and Me have decided this chameleon needs a new place!

He is single and does not mingle. He will read you poetry. Must like 8 p.m. bedtimes and eyes that move independently. Feeding optional but advised.

Applicants need only come and take him from the front doorstep."

Poster for context (no slips have been taken)

#the chaotix having a normal one #espio the chameleon #charmy bee #team chaotix #i like to think vector just let this play out #'not my circus not my monkeys' (very much his circus and monkeys)#wonderincs #lea-andres #he probably like made him eat cabbage or smthn

Unearthing more cool stuff from the dungeons of the GNR forum.

Absolutely love this interview with Izzy in 92 in the Ju Ju Hounds era. He just sounds so happy to be free of the circus.

#izzy stradlin #Izzy Stradlin and the JuJu Hounds #not his circus not his monkeys #1992 #moving on

Also can reporters/interviewers stop asking artists or whomever to 'perform a little bit' for the viewers of ''poppyseed-collector's weekly'' :D:D It's goddamn awkward and nobody involved seems to enjoy it. At least I don't enjoy seeing it. Ask a nice insightful question that hasn't been asked 100 times this evening. How about that?

#I would be so Done with these shit little interviews if i was him #käärijä #at least make the interview worth his time :')#i get why he feels like a circus monkey

Abyss (~4.9K Words)

You are born in the abyss. Who can blame you for never knowing the light? An introspection piece on Gunmar the Black, with many headcanons towards how he may have grown up, and why his role as the villain was inevitable.

I don't like one dimensional villains so I have been plagued thinking about this guy. Remember folks, a sympathetic villain is still a villain, and this is no attempt to excuse his actions, only explain them.

#post let luce #my fic #tales of arcadia #trollhunters #gunmar #gunmar the black #[end of organizational tags. do not copy further. do not copy op tag or my fic tag]#hi folks i keep grabbing the toa villains to make them make sense #well. the troll ones anyway #wizards added a lot to gunmars depth and i jumped on it #but i still wanted to flesh him out more #lots of headcanons in varying levels of implication #and only the show as inspiration #whatever happens in the comics/ novels is not my circus and i dont care for its monkeys #but yeah this was a fun VERY spontaneous experiment (i started writing yesterday)

i think we also need simon valentine back bc his possessiveness and jealousy over kon is so funny (sorry simon). i need him to witness bart just casually using kon as a jungle gym and grind his teeth about it. i want him to try to infodump about frogs to kon but tim interrupts like oh thats cool. hey i modded my car this weekend do you wanna see!! and simon is like. excuse me. i was infodumping first. sims negative reaction. and bart is STILL sitting on kon's shoulder like a weird parrot.

peak comedy to me is simon valentine stuck in a room with tim kon and bart. kons in the middle of it and doesnt even realize. simon is radiating intense jealous vibes but tim and bart are both like lmao ok anyways, this is OUR kon. <3 Autistic Hostility (intensely one-sided) (but also somehow 3x combo?) (kon is oblivious but he can pick up on the vibes) (the vibes are rancid bro) (Autistic Hostility.)

#rimi talks #sajan and lori are NOT helping kon with this situation. not their circus. not their monkeys #like simon was sooo jealous over sajan. and kon just met sajan #he would be INSUFFERABLE about tim and bart #at least with cassie he could console himself that oh thats his ex... shes allowed to be close w him...#but with the Totally Straight Bro Dude Friends. bc no one in this story has figured out the gay thing yet. well #simon is having a terrible time. kon's not having a great time either. tim and bart are just chillin tho.#theyre not above being gatekeepers. the thing they are gatekeeping is kon. they are kind of assholes but its funny #(see also: tim and bart coming back to yj and them all just being like ok bye ray youre old and we dont need u so u cant sit with us!!!)#(gatekeepers. lil dipshits. but its funny.)#kon #bart #simon #tim

My fatal flaw in video games is minding my own business. I see a fucked up hole full of weird shit? - this seems like none of my business I will find another way around.

#this is about bg3 #and im doing another run #trying to fully explore #because I missed SO MUCH last time #bc i was like this is not my circus not my monkeys #literally didnt find astarion or wyll until after the goblin camp #and i saw gale in his hole and was like that is not my problem
