#nothing seems to work

Dp x dc idea 157

Know one knows. Sam hates phantom blames ghosts for messing up environment. Tucker hates them because they mess up his tech.

When phantom is caught by jack and Maddie experiments happen. Dani goes to Valerie for help. Reveals the half ghost thing to her. Dani and Valerie save Danny.

When they get to the basement it’s not phantom they find but danny. Still strapped to the table glowing green cuffs on his wrists and ankles.

Dani and Valerie know it’s not safe for Danny in amity. Valerie can’t go to her dad he hates ghosts just as much as she does??

Dani is the one who suggested jump city. Now Valerie wasn’t positive. But she thinks she had a relative in jump city. A vic?? Victor maybe. It wasn’t likely to come up. What mattered was getting Danny away and medical attention. Then dealing with the cuffs.

The teen titans had two new well they wouldn’t say villains. Sure the two were robbing places. But only of medical supplies. Nothing else.

#dpxdc #Valerie is related to cyborg #it’s a stretch but oh well #i think it would be a fun dynamic #Dani and Valerie are robbing places to help Danny #nothing seems to work #plus his healing isn’t kicking in #they blame the cuffs #clearly they are stopping his powers #and Ellie can’t even phase them off #Danny is not doing so hot

seriously giving up on my hair it makes me want to cry

#fine baby hair has got to be one of the worst traits i could've gotten from my dad #i understand it's genetics but god why do i deserve to have this greasy hair #i also know it's hormones but i can't do hormonal treatments so where do we go from here #it's such a pass in the a s s to have to wash your hair every other day #i guess i am noticing it more now because it's grown a lot #because when i donated it i cut off A LOT OF IT so it was short and more manageable #now that it's longer it's unbearable #i have tried it all #sls free shampoos paraben free shampoos #(trying to avoid dry shampoo although it works because it's cancerous) #i tried oiling it and avoid conditioner on the roots #i have tried using less heat and drying it properly #it makes me so MADDDDD #nothing seems to work #didi rambles #more like didi cries #and my natural hair isn't even proper curls / waves so eventually i am forced to straighten it #pain in the ass * wow look at me being so pissed i can't type

Trying to clean my flat makes me angry because it feels like the more I clean, the messier it gets.

people seriously pretending EEAAO is overrated suddenly bc it swept awards? it swept awards largely because it is very very very good. I cried like someone who's just had a religious revelation BOTH times I watched it bc it touched something raw and real and beautiful but it was also just very, very funny. everyone's performance kills and the concept is creative and interesting and doesn't distract from the emotional core. you guys are just contrarian.

#red said #also there are posts and tweets like THIS IS JUST FOR MCU FANS #like please go on demonstrating how you've adopted 'mcu fan' as a shorthand for 'person who likes films i don't' #or 'person who likes films that are popular' #because the defining features of mcu films are that they're high budget irony poisoned derivative works #targeted at a broad audience so aiming to be accessible and inoffensive #and it really seems. like 'accessible' is the part of that you object to #bc EEAAO is a highly original A24 indie film with a 14.5m budget which is NOTHING #it's made mostly with practical effects and sets #and most importantly it's beautifully painfully earnest. it's never trying to shy away or go Hey Look How Silly This Is 😏 #everything is driven by its earnest desire to talk about specific themes #i think the people comparing it negatively to mcu films are stuck on the fact that it's about a multiverse and it's got jokes #and colourful action scenes #but they miss that the referential jokes (like racacoonie) and setpieces aren't the point of the film

does anyone know how to stop tumblr from defaulting to the for you page ? i have to manually go into the following to see things from my mutuals whereas it just does it automatically here & my other blogs.

#i've tried messing with the dashboard settings #nothing seems to work #& it's starting to annoy me #dsfojfgg

My manuscript got rejected once more. I’m not even disappointed, I’m just sad.

Sometimes I'm doing well, and then other times Lucifer's level 35 intimacy phone call in Nightbringer suddenly comes back to mind, and I am once again reminded how Lucifer is so utterly desperate to connect with Satan in any way. It doesn't even have to be meaningful; just having his brother despise him a tiny bit less than before would already be more than enough

And when they finally do make the tiniest, most insignficant amount of progress imaginable, Lucifer is so overjoyed about it that he ends up celebrating with a horn of Demonus......or two, maybe three... Might as well finish the bottle. Let's open another one! And another, and another, and another! We've got to celebrate tonight, after all! Hm? No, he isn't drunk MC, what a stupid question to even ask. Here, he'll drink some more just to prove it! Then after that--!

And all that because he and Satan managed to hold a conversation for a minute longer than usual

#had to stop everything for an hour or two and just lie there thinking about satan & luci again #there's so much i want to talk about when it comes to the two of them bc their relationship is so fascinating #but most of the time when i try to write smth down it just comes out as “hnnngghhhh these two.....they're making me go insannnee” lol #also luci admitting in his lv30 call that satan is the only one he has problems with and that no matter what he tries nothing seems to work #broke my heart fr </3 #obey me #obey me nightbringer #obey me lucifer #obey me satan #;mel's analyses

to preface this post i am anti-advertising i think we should explode the entire industry but it's sooo funny when you people make posts like "and they don't even work!!" like. sorry to be the bearer of bad news but yes they do. that's why we have to put up with so many despite everyone hating them and thinking its annoying. because they actually work really well and make a shit load of money

#it actually would be way better if they didnt work and made no money bc businesses would abandon them #this isnt like stocks where everythings abstract and is essentially gambling (i dont understand stocks) #like ppl in the ad industry create things. that make a tangible and quantifiable impact on the business #which is then used in further ad planning. it is NOT all smoke and mirrors #like its fake in that the industry is not providing a necessary service the way like. grocery stores are #but its not the level of fake where everything is abstract like theres deliverables #moreover there is an extensive body of academic work specifically on how to make ads more effective #ALSO i think some of u views ads like. as if they have a win condition. which is you buy product #but in current advertising this is pretty rare and comparatively ineffective #which is why you see MANY ads which dont seem to be selling anything in particular. or which have nothing all to do with the product #the 'win' condition for THAT kind of ad is something more like 'viewers remember our name' #like. ex i would say ads for temu have not been effective on me bc i havent bought anything from them #but temu probably thinks they were SUPER effective on me because i talked abt them like 5 different times at work #and i do in fact know exactly what the company does and what they sell #and they were able to capitalize on the reputations of existing companies (wish shein etc) to build their own brand #good idea generator

at least they still have that sick pink belt i guess

an assortment of doodles of strange someone frisk - they're @the-meme-monarch's! go! check them out if u don't know them!! - simply because they were on the mind to the point where i had to visualize my thoughts or risk falling into the shadow realm

bit of a less serious doodle under the cut as a surprise lmao i did it once as warmup

#strange someone frisk #ended up kinda trying something different because nothing other than emulating pally's style seemed to work for them #they're too much their creation in my mind to transcribe it fully into my own ig (and not for lack of trying) #the comic one is cuz i think itd be poignant if ss frisk appeared in the dr universe by the bunker #deltarune #utdr #frisk undertale #frisk #deltarune au #undertale #dr #ut #jevil #hes below the cut but hes there #not counting the photo thing for this lol #my artbook #i know ssfrisk alr has a playlist and it slaps but penelope scott's montreal will remain their song also in my heart #obv some more effort put into this than my previous doodle #we're climbing out of this artblock by force yall. im yanking myself out

i am once again banishing the idea that bruce was never affectionate with tim/was mean to him/was a cold, distant mentor to him. begone.

#does the cheek squeeze and 'natch' mean nothing to you people #does bruce teasing tim about not understanding a joke about girls mean nothing!! #does bruce making tim a tuna fish sandwich not count!! #what about bruce lovingly watching dick & tim goof around at his work #or bruce building a special car just for tim #or calling tim his best friend #or sneaking into his room in the middle of the night to tell him about a case #or the time they almost drowned in legacy and bruce got the strength to save them bc tim was sad #one day...i will put pen to paper on the bruce & tim training era fic in my head....at least outline it or something.... #sorry that piggy back seems to the metric of love and yet. it's not.

Obsessed with how pathetic you make Jim Guangyao look. The hat. I love it.

Don't let the smile and sweet words fool you, Jim Guangyao has lost everything in the divorce, and continues to lose.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #jin guangyao #mdzs au #modern au #this takes place in the same universe as Alan Zhan btw #I have been waiting for the day I got to meet him....Jim Guangyao..... #I think he won at least one divorce. But also did so under suspicious conditions. #you can 'win' divorce is your ex is dead right? #I like to think he wasn't even in the will and all the money and property went to another relative. #Who did he divorce? That's up to reader interpretation #Jim Guangyao is the busy dad who's never around except on the very rare occasional holiday. He cannot relate to his children #Nobody has ever seen him without his hat. In highschool it was a trilby. He's got baseball cap on in this drawing (I tried). #for casual friday. #He would burn everything at the grill. Half-bad luck and half distracted by work calls #Jim has nothing and no one. Despite this he always seems to land another hot spouse within a few months. #(Its his dimples. They are mesmerizing. You will look at them and sign this will without second thought <3)
