DPx DC Au: Might as well be brothers. Young Justice hears about a regional hero disappearing, and while they've never met the guy, Red Robin's contacts say that Ra's is hunting him for afterlife/immortality related reasons.

Tim drake hates the annoying white uniform he's wearing but breaking into this place is crucial to his 24 hour plan to rescue Phantom. He'd never even heard of the guy until a week ago when Pru came to him with info that Ra's was looking into Midwest Real Estate, and then Tim stumbled down the rabbit hole of Ghost conspiracy theories until he saw an article demanding that local officials speak on the hero's absence of 10 days. 10 days was short enough that Tim might find a sign of life and well, another federal agency being hacked by Red Robin is nothing new.

So now, he's walking down the halls with these stupid fucking glasses and this stupid fucking suit while Kon listens from the comfort of the surveillance van. He takes a turn and sees the track suits that the illegally detained inmates are wearing, and pivoting the plan, makes his way to a locker room to get one and get changed. It does take him an extra second and he considers that this might bite him- but Tim knows the place inside and out. He's scoured all their data, and sue him for being cocky, but he has a literal alien ready to tear the place apart waiting for his heart rate to jump above 80 bpm. which is a pretty low heart rate all things considered.

Tim gets exactly where he's meant to go, and waits only a few minutes before he see's the science team extract Phantom from the high security room.

Phantom doesn't make it clear if he notices Tim, but he's basically being dragged by the couple, so Tim decides to beat them to their destination. The experimental wing had shown up in their reported data not long after they made it extremely obvious that they had Phantom in their data output.

Tim's already in the room when he starts to notice that it's not exactly a room... more like a mechanical space. The way the corners curl in the room make it almost tube like... Portal like.

Phantom is thrown in and Tim grabs him the second the scientists leave, but the kill switch key Tim made to get them out isn't working for this door like it did all the others.

"Not... Not a door."

"We're in some sort of device aren't we? Something of their own design that the government isn't aware they're funding?"

"Portal. You've gotta get out, even if you get caught, you gotta get out now."

Tim's comm comes alive in his ear, its Kon responding to Tim's heart rate rising- and Tim is hesitant to call him in but ultimately tells him to start flying over for extraction.

Then the portal goes off, and while he feels pain, he doesn't feel different. Bright light subsiding, Kon's arms around him with a confused voice, and lots of lasers being fired his way... Tim wakes up to see a much younger Phantom looking at him from the other side of the young justice couch.

Kon, Bart and Cassie are all fighting at a white board that's been wheeled in but Tim can only yawn and blink his way into consciousness enough to give a shit.

Black haired and blue eyed, button nosed with large ears, a wry thin lipped smile... Tim realizes that Phantom looks incredibly similar to his younger self. And then Tim looks at his much smaller hands and realizes that he probably looks a lot more similar to his younger self than normal.

Taking in the scenery once more, the white board is divided on the traits Tim has to the children sitting left and right on the couch. Kon didn't know who was who. That meant that maybe... the government didn't either.

Phantom turns out to be a pretty chill dude despite all the trauma, and he's incredibly prepared to both fuck with Ra's and the government in their newly found childhood twin-ship.

One of the twins is scarier than the other, and despite Danny literally haunting them, its always Tim.

(Okay now its some one else's turn :D )

I’ve been having your aus in my brain for a while. I absolutely love them 🥰

Question for Swanatello, have you ever had a strong desire to go back home to the lair or do you even remember much about the lair being your home, even with the bracelet and board? Like, have you ever in the middle of the day just randomly think “I want to go home” while thinking about the lair?

Of course he does. He doesn't remember details very often... but the one downside of the bracelet is that now he is almost constantly aware that something is wrong. Even when he doesn't understand what's going on-- he almost always knows that something is wrong with him and with the world around him. He wishes for things he can't remember. He aches over the absence of things that he can't recall. He misses people that he doesn't know. He can't remember home, but he knows he's not there.

Swanatello hates to be alone now. Overall, it's for the best, it helps, but every evening he's introduced to the idea that something is horribly wrong, and then he's promised that someone is going to be there soon to help. And every evening, he has to wait to see if that promise will be fulfilled and if his family will come and help him.

#luckily they pretty much ALWAYS keep that promise #and they've gotten very very good at getting the timing down #and minimizing that waiting period as much as possible #while still allowing swannie the time he needs to process everything and be ready to have them there #because they know it's difficult for him #still #it's very high stress for swanatello #its not WORSE than what it was before. in most ways its better #the lows are all a lot less low now #and there are far more highs #but its still difficult #and they all know it #asks #swanatello #rottmnt #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt donatello #rise donnie #rise donatello #donniesona #memory loss

There's something that infuriates me so much about people mocking characters that fall into the "not like other girls" trap, because the reasons girls take on that stance is because they exist in a society that tries to put womanhood and femininity in a restrictive box that tells them who and how they should be.

They're generally mocked and derided for not wishing to conform to stereotypical femininity, but when they lash out in entirely predictable but ultimately unhelpful ways (by being dismissive and rude about other women and femininity in general) instead of understanding that it's a product of growing up in a society that's restricting them and punishing them for not conforming (either by choice or inability) so many people who claim to be feminists choose to mock them or make them out to be the cause of the problem rather than a symptom. Whether its being mocked in real life, or watching people deride the fictional characters they relate to, this behaviour just alienates those girls even further into thinking that the issue is other women, and confirms their belief that women who are typically feminine will only ever be derisive toward them and that they're somehow fundamentally different from other women.

If you know someone who thinks along those "I'm not like other girls" lines instead of mocking them try directing them towards resources that can help them understand where that harmful rhetoric comes from, and when you're critiquing characters that fit that mold try to consider why they behave that way, and what girls who see themselves in those characters take from your commentary.

#idk this became a word salad #something something consider how many not like other girls girls are queer and/or neurodivergent #im not telling people to not be critical of that outlook but also helping people understand why its wrong is so much more powerful #than just mocking girls that are responding with (most often) age-appropriate immaturity to a society that's telling them they dont fit #eloise bridgerton #arya stark #there's so many other characters but my mind is just gripping onto these two #btw this ramble comes from a trans neurodivergent person who is a former “im not like other girls” non-girl #i came to the realisation that that outlook came from a misogynistic place in my own time #but watching any female character i related to growing up getting mocked for the same reasons i was bullied #read: not being feminine enough and/or not being neurotypical enough #slowed that process down a lot #it was difficult to understand that society was the issue and not other women #when so many women were mocking me

I am so hyped for part two of this dlc. Scarlet and Violet has proven that I will absolutely play and love a jankey broken game if the story is good. Plus they have knocked it out of the park with the legends for this gen. Like this is just an (I'm assuming)tiny, fuzzy, balding, roomba turtle with a beard. What's not to love?

(I have no idea how it moves, I'm really hoping for that good kingambit scoot tho)

#side note tho I really struggle to draw pokemon #I try to think of muscle bone and junk when drawing #especially with animals #is it succesful? #absolutley not #me actually having good anatomy is like a coin flip #but that is the process #and pokemon have anime hair logic when it comes to anatomy #its just so difficult to get right without it looking weird or creepy #anywho #pokemon #pokémon #pkmn #terapagos #pokemon scarlet and violet

i made the chamomile cake with strawberry icing from this post and y’all……………….it really is tasty

#peach stuff #ever since i saw that recipe three days ago i couldn’t get it out of my mind. i needed to know #and tbh it wasn’t that hard to make ? it was a bit time consuming since you have to steep the tea in the butter and milk for an hour #and crushing the freeze-dried strawberries through the sieve was a bit annoying - would probably work better with a mortar and pestle #but all in all not a difficult process at all! my cake sank a little in the middle and im not really sure why that is but i just flipped it #so it still looked pretty on top. no harm no foul #AND THE WAY IT TASTES……..its not a sweet cake by any means - the chamomile is a gentle flavor so its more like #a mix between a pound cake and a corn bread. and the icing is so sweet sour delicious that it helps bring a bit of sweetness while still #mixing well with the subtlety of the cake. anyway not to be pretentious about it but this shit slaps #i need to write down the recipe to save it - both of my parents really loved it too

i dont think we give wolf 359 enough credit for having probably the best sound design of any fiction podcast. its so evocative and atmospheric while also being very restrained, and, crucially, easy to understand!!!

#i love fiction podcasts but unfortunately dont have the greatest audio processing skills #so its so nice to listen to w359 and a) be able to immediately tell who’s speaking and b) not have to worry about the foley #being muddy and difficult to parse #thoughts #wolf 359

Hama-kun secretly checks on Kema-senpai. However, when Kema-senpai approaches him, he runs away.  He’s being avoided?? Kema-senpai wonders if he did something to make Hama dislike him, but…

Happy Tomesaburou month! I’ve subbed a Hama-centric episode I really enjoy. I’m in the middle of watching Season 30 and there’s a bunch of really cute episodes…I’m chipping at the flashback episodes in the meantime but this episode was sandwiched between them so I went for it too. Kema’s a very sweet character…I love how he’s kind of the honorary big sibling of the entire equipment committee. They’re a big family to me…what am i saying

It's my first time subbing an episode orz...Translations aren’t perfect so if there’s anything off just come pester me about it!

happy watching!

Title and this episode reference Shuichirou’s debut back in the Season 23 (vol 54 in the manga) Hodohodo Castle saga. I really like this arc and I'd totally recommend watching it if you can (x) along with some of the other Hama-centric episodes in S23 and S24. Throwing backstory context below the cut for fun:

Hama's a descendant of Matsuhodo castle's ninjas (his great-grandfather was one of them). It was defeated 70 years ago which left a bit of a stain on their reputation and forced them out of work, so they've fallen out of vogue. Shuichirou's sentiment is that if the main Matsuhodo ninjas had been at the castle when it fell, it wouldn't have been defeated, so he guarded the ruins ever since.

A bunch of rival factions were trying to capture it for strategic reasons, including the Tasogaredoki (a prominent enemy castle on good terms with Ninjutsu Gakuen) so Shuichirou was helping them hold fort until the rest of the army arrives. Plot happens. The castle ends up falling and Shuichirou eventually ends up joining Ninjutsu Gakuen later as a ro-class fourth year. He picks the Equipment Committee to join in Season 24.

He was raised in the mountains so he's a bit inexperienced. His great-grandpa had terrible hearing, so he has a tendency to SPEAK VERY LOUD and is VERY ENTHUSIASTIC! all the time. His main gag is that his sense of humor is terrible and he'll explode laughing over stuff like bad wordplay. he's great i love him

#rkrn #nintama #nintama rantarou #fansubs #YOGUIINKAI *bursts into tears* #shuichirou my son...you're so real for this episode honestly... #its so good...literally could rewatch this so many times and still smile like an idiot about it. #if anyone has a better grasp on translation just pop an ask over i dont mind! #i have a tenuous grasp on the english language in general anyhow lol... words are difficult #i wanted to keep it easy to follow so a few bits or nuances couldve been mutated in the subbing process orz #images and desc ripped straight from the nhk acc #mine #EDIT: i just noticed a minor captioning mistake...reuploaded both files. whoops!

[panicbones]

i know ppl got social anxiety and i get it but also i have very very bad hearing + audio processing disorders and you need to speak up or im going to ask you what huh about 4 times in a row

#this was especially difficult when i worked at starbucks #like i promise you its fine how you order so long as i can actually hear you and so many people mumble and speak fast #and then theres the demon of discord calls ruining audio so i literally never know what people are saying #and then i just hate when people say oh nevermind like no tell me oh my god i just cant hear you #in fact its worse when ppl just brush it off and give up cuz of anxiety like no dude just say it im not asking huh cuz im judging you #im asking over and over cuz i literally cannot!!! fucking!!!! hear!!! #many things getting on my nerves these days cuz i think the red death is approaching #but bad hearing + audio processing = i cannot hear jackshit #skeletal chatter

idk how I did not clock @/transmascpetewentz is an overt Zionist but lord am I now reconsidering some links between ideologies centered on preserving a sense of victimhood as the core of identity...

#yes this is about transandrophobia #which i still do think exists #its just like odd #how so many trans men who have this as their central concern end up being shitty in other ways #and before you go off about antisemitism m'boy #i am also pursuing conversion #but nasty genocide deniers like yourself make the process difficult #zionism

as a scientest, whats your most detested confounding factor?

Currently doing a project that uses lots of random generation. A lot of the results we've got so far have been a little bit biased - not enough to conclusively say they're skewed, but enough to be a bit off prediction. there are three possible sources of this - some detectors being misaligned just barely, in such a manner as to fail a small fraction of the time (we haven't seen them fail since we were aligning them, and we've been testing), our random generation program not being random enough (uses full-entropy, cryptographically secure bits, and tests well), or the detector control electronics, a specialist system designed to simulate quantum bit detection with randomisation, not being random enough instead. I would have to say that those three, in superposition, are my most detested fucking confounding factor right now.

#ask #strictly speaking these are difficult to describe as confounders or not #a complex interplay between them allows for influence over both input and output. its a multi stage process #but hey

[yourcalamity]

doing a new thing where i let myself be weird and standoffish and hard to socialize with because im tired of trying to be what everybody needs or might need im just going to be myself in the moment and the people who need to be there will be

#its just difficult getting around negative thought patterns #but it doesnt matter how i act or feel or look if someone doesnt like me or something about me #they already feel that way. doesnt change how i feel or how others feel #being a perfectionist is gay as hell #also its so easy to project insecurities and anxieties on other people before you think about how 90% of the people around you are so lost #in their own inner world they probably cant even process that your shoe is untied or your hat looks kind of weird #i need to start existing for me
