Prompt 271

“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone. 

“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion. 

Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files. 

“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued. 

“Is he coming to the Manor or…” 

Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”

Now wait one moment-

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

Just had to spend 10 minutes explaining to my husband that the uranium glass I'm buying is not dangerous and is less radioactive than some household electronics I'm not going to fatally irradiate our household i swear

#he wasn't THAT worried tbh but i did have to reassure him some and google some sources to back myself up lol #also went on a small tangent about how cesium is the main contaminant in most nuclear fallout and not the uranium itself #though maybe i was stabbing myself in the foot there since cesium has a half lufe of 29 years and uranium... several hundred billion ha ha #but it's FINE it's FINE REALL #*really #it's not dangerous! #the only reason you're not supposed to eat out of it is in case you accidentally swallow particles of the glass. which could be bad for u #just like you probably shouldn't swallow parts of your phone #anyway #uranium glass #mod post

my apartment was contaminated with asbestos after a pipe burst and i lost literally all of my belongings. thats how 2024 is going so far

#been in a really rough grieving process for all my stuff #my entire life. all my sentimental things are gone #the only things i saved were my ps5 and my camera bc they said to take expensive stuff out after it first happened #and a small basket of clothes that are honestly probably also contaminated #so now i’m looking for a new place and trying to plan a way to rebuild my life #hawke.txt

[alivehouse]

i know it requires misreading a bunch of stuff but TO ME the summer hikaru died is about the inherent horror in having unrequited feelings for your straight friend. it CAN be about this if i squint really hard

#like yeah ok inherent queerness of The Other fear of contamination from the other side as an allusion to small town homophobia #etc etc HOWEVER.

[hey-scully-itsme]

one of my coworkers seems to have a different understanding of polite refusals than I do and it’s driving me nuts because when I try and hold firm and say ‘no, I’m good, but thank you!’ when she offers me soup for the millionth time she keeps coming back with it. I know social signals can be confusing and some people feel the need to refuse before accepting but we once went back and forth literally for days about one soup until I caved.

#it’s petty office drama and not actually that big a deal but jesus lol #I have no allergies or anything so I have no ironclad reason not to take the food #if I did she’d just make soup without the allergen #and even worse bc she is nice in her own way she’d be careful about cross-contamination and everything #and she’s not really doing anything wrong bc I haven’t shut her down super directly #she’s just trying to be nice as she sees it and she seems to be used to more social workplaces than this one is #but I wish she’d leave me the fuck alone #i can’t shut her down more directly for workplace culture reasons #repercussions would be way more of a problem than her behavior is #she also keeps trying to start intense small talk and there’s no good way to say: #‘hey you seem perfectly nice but I am not interested in being friends with anyone here. can we please keep it friendly but distant’ #and if I give an inch on the small talk so as to prevent getting an oblique scolding from my supervisor again #she takes a mile and then offers me more FUCKING SOUP.

basically i am in bed, animal crackers on my tiddies

#small thing for anybody without contamination ocd but it is the first time in over a year ive had food in my room #the unique packaging of animal crackers in that giant bear. i can spray it down and bring it in without worrying about the food inside

[nalver]

getting often plagued by ocd is so fun i'll be having the worst time showering and then come out trying to make myself happy like "ohhh maybe you want sanitizer? 🥺 a widdol dwop of disinfectant? 🥺❤"

#actuallyocd #hey man it does help sometimes #or at least in a small quantity #contamination has been getting my ass recently #all the other ocd? yeaahhhh i dunno thats dormant for now at least

[get-more-bald]

Just wanted to show off my jeans and jean vest!

Prompt 113

“I seem to have been taken hostage.” Batman’s words almost had Superman panic if not for the wry tone, a tone which the others didn’t know if their freaking out was to go by. Clark sighed through the comms, tired after battle and honestly wanting to go to bed now.

“I’ll be right over, what child has latched onto you now?” He asked while switching to a more private channel. 

“I can already hear you making fun of me…” Wha- Oh. Clark bit his lip to keep himself from laughing as he took to the air. “They appear to be a pair of twins with…” 

“You gotta’ say it Bruce, you gotta’,” Clark couldn’t stop the chuckle when he saw his friend on the top of a building, cape curled around his form in a way usually reserved for the robins. 

“... with dark hair… and blue eyes…” That was it. Clark absolutely lost it in laughter. 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #Danny & Ellie fell into this world during an invasion were very scared #Latched onto the first semi-ecto contaminated person they found #Bruce gives off slight ghost vibes and feels safe so they aren't letting go any time soon #Could be Superbat might not up to yall lol #Batman is just staring down at the small children who have latched onto his leg and are crying #Look the man is a dad and a hero and isn't going to leave the kids there #It's also highly concerning when he finds out they're not in the system #And their DNA is only half human with the rest being... something who knows #Apparently he's adopted a pair of half aliens but that's not going to stop him #“I could take them if you need-” #“No they're my babies now no takes backs”

small OCD victory from a few days ago

to some, this may seem minor but it was a pretty big deal to me and I'm really proud of myself

a few nights ago, I couldn't sleep. sounds like the average night for a teenager or twenty-something year old, but the reason I couldn't sleep was that I couldn't get one specific intrusive thought out of my head. I won't go into detail, but it was very gruesome. for four hours this one violent intrusive thought played over and over in my head until I couldn't take it. I had decided that I would get up, take a shower, and do my compulsions to make it go away- just long enough that I could finally sleep. it was 5am at that point and I decided to sit in my living room for a bit before I showered. luckily I had my mom and she got up and talked to me for the next hour until it eventually went away on its own

for some people, this may seem insignificant. but every time we can get through our anxiety without doing compulsions, it's a huge victory and a step toward healing.

we can't always resist our compulsions. after all, many of us have been doing them for our whole lives. but you should always try. if you don't succeed, it's okay, but the feeling that you have after you conquer OCD even just a little bit is indescribable.

Juno: 1

OCD: 76926

this disorder better watch out, because I'm catching up little by little

“The water famine in Port Credit and Toronto township, Ontario has reached such proportions that Deans Bros., Port Credit contractors, have equipped their trucks with three large barrels making sales of water from house to house. Middle Road school buys 2,000 gallons a week. Above is shown the truck.”

- from the Sault Star. December 20, 1930. Page 1.

every single meal I eat these days is a psychic battle between me and my gag reflex. and i'm losing.

#cannot physically eat most foods without throwing up #because I think they're rotting / contaminated / filled with foreign objects #so I'm living off a small selection of safe foods #and I feel like shit because I'm not getting the proper nutrients #but i can't physically keep most food down

[loesyff]

And a full on crashing meltdown for the sunday evening. Like I’ve been sensing being on the edge, but like, I don’t know what to do about it. So many things that are stressing me out are kinda out of my hands.

#personal #for a couple times now the sound of the water spashing on the floor while in the shower has ticked me off a lot more than usual #now after changing turtle's water- I was trying to wash the hoses and such and they kept touchiong stuff in the bathroom meaning- #everything else needed to be cleaned as well-the virus has made my fear of contamination a lot worse in regards of everything #and then water splashed on a overturned bucket and I just lost it- I think I flung a small hose to the wall and yelled something #can't remember what.took a moment of breathing furiously leaning on a wall until could start moving again #like how can you explain how on edge you are to the NT job coach. there isn't even a finnish word for a meltdown

the whole idea of punitive justice seems to be this idea that you've done something horrible, as punishment you are going to go suffer in jail. and id think that a part of that is that once you've gone through that punishment, you're now absolved of your sins, or whatever catholics do. does not seem to be the narrative most proponents hold up though- they seem continue to want offenders punished forever. i also hear people kind of think of it in terms similar to the mindset of preventative justice where they think that for example not having the right to vote functions as an incentive to not commit crimes. or that (for example) having to disclose felony status to employers resulting in not having a job is a necessary measure for the safety of hypothetical coworkers, and somehow this hypothetical felon will just find a job working in a storage container and never participate in society again. it's not always wholly contradictory to the morals of restorative justice because i think part of this mindset is that they essentially think restorative justice works and is good but only for people they already see as redeemable, and everybody who commits the bad crimes should die or be locked in a box.

#idk i was on the subreddit for my hometown (mistake) and apparently the womens prison has been giving contaminated water to inmates #and one of the (few. its a small sub) comments was pointing out that the woman who was bringing this to court #was in there for child abuse charges #and so of course all the responses to THAT are well this is awful but SHE deserves poisoned water #and it's just. so not worth it to argue with people that potentially live near me online about politics. #but GOD. YOU ARE THE REASON THIS SHIT HAPPENS. the prison staff who ignored this problem #have the EXACT SAME mindset you do. you can't dehumanize ANYBODY #btw this jail is also where pregnant inmates are kept and there might be potential miscarriages or birth defects from it #like its so clearly black and white awful and people still find a way to say prisoners deserve whatever awful treatment they get
