#they were never born

.....

#Saw a short of a woman crying about being pro****** #because her mother had 2 ab***ions #and she could have been one of them and that her whole life had changed when she found out and her murdered siblings? #and she wanted to get justice for them #like grown adult in her late 30s-40s #I just kept thinking wtf are you talking about #you don't have murdered siblings #they were never born #they never took a breath #it made me feel like something else was there bc it's seems so #irrational to be sobbing over something that happened before you were born #it's out of the realm of empathy or sympathy #it was like she spun the story to make it about her and like they tried to 'kill her' #idk it was just a very odd thing

When Danny enters the Fenton portal for the very first time, he still trips and shocks himself but at the same time damages the inside of the portal enough that it can’t sustain itself past the point of changing Danny’s molecules.

The electricity and damage done to both Danny and the portal isn’t something Danny, Sam, and Tucker can cover up and his parents find out immediately. They’re more concerned about their son then the portal (they have the blueprints for the portal and can rebuild it later but can’t replace their son if something happened to him) and go through a lot of things emotions regarding the existence of ghost human hybrids.

Danny’s new biology could easily be passed as meta human traits. Unfortunately President Lex Luther had just recently passed laws against meta humans. Meaning they can’t risk people find out about Danny’s new powers, at all. The Fentons decide that Danny should live with one of Maddie or Jacks relatives off grid until he can control his new abilities better.

luckily Jacks sister, Martha, and her husband have experience with a super powered child and after their son moved to the city could probably use a hand on their farm. All Jack needed to do was call.

#dp x dc #dp x dc prompt #danny fenton #jack fenton #martha kent #Danny wondering why his parents have so many relatives he never really sees #All the relatives that never forgot when Jack and Maddie hosted Thanksgiving Dinner before Danny or Jazz were born #bonding with your estranged relatives over turkey battling related trauma #Martha hasn’t let Jack visit the farm after he made the tractor sentient back in 87 #Danny discovering Superman is his farm boy turned reporter cousin and can never take any of the metropolis villains seriously anymore #Martha and Jon thinking they have a break from raising a super powered teenage: Danny showing up phased halfway through their front porch #unrelated but I’m not sure how much sense this actually makes (I’ve had a high grade fever all week and know I’ve been out of it)

#WHERES THE FIC AT IF SOMEONE WRITES THIS I WILL PAY THEM A HUNDRED DOLLARS😭😭 #kunikida serving the country while dazai's serving cunt😔 #dazai was born to malewife but forced to manipulate and i think that's the greatest tragedy of bsd #anyway some facts i would like to share abt this au thay i came up w while drawing!! #takes place in 1939 (start of wwii) and there was a mandatory draft that required one male over eighteen from each house to serve #both of them are still twenty two and had been engaged for abt two years before getting married that year #newlyweds! unfortunately kuni had to go fight and they were seperated :( #before the war kunikida was a math teacher at the local high school and dazai obviously managed the household and didn't work #he's hopeless at cooking and meal prep even w recipie books so they either get those prepackaged meals or kuni makes dinner when he gets ba #so like when he's making lunch for kunikida he normally just packs a basic sandwich w raw fruit #kunikida always appreciates the effort even tho hes probably sick of having the same thing everyday but he won't complain abt it #when kunikida joined the army he was relieved that the mess hall had better food than dazai #he was the only one in his platoon that never complained abt the food so his fellow soldiers assumed it was bc he came from a tough bg #when in reality he was just used to being poisoned on a daily basis from his dumbass husbands cooking and was hardly fazed from army ration #they write to each other although its more dazai sending and kuni receiving bc hes off fighting and doesnt have time to write back #dazai talks abt life on the homefront and how he has to grow a victory garden (everything is DYING HE CANT EVEN RAISE TOMATOES) #and kuni writes abt his fellow soldiers and how the war is going and when he thinks he'll be home and how he misses sleeping in a bed #ANYWAY yea thought i'd share sry for infodumping in the tags again #this post is for like the four ppl that care abt this specific flavor of knkdz so hopefully this gets four notes at least #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #dazai osamu #osamu dazai #kunikida doppo #doppo kunikida #kunikidazai #knkdz #lotus draws #bro sry for posting at two in the morning i couldnt sleep until i got this out of my head they have infested my brain

Really really hoping that Maleficia at least appears later on for Malleus' sake. I mean, Malleus will probably not realize the gravity of what he did immediately after his overblot ends, but imagine once he calms down and reflects on the events a bit more. Once he understands that aside from putting everyone in a bad spot, he himself is trapped in a bad spot in the first place, which was what drove him to do what he did despite being an otherwise tolerant person all his life. And his grandmother didn't even bother to pull him out of it, nor hurry to his side even if she couldn't do anything. That his remaining blood parent was never aware of the things he was going through. She was never emotionally available for him.

That would wreck him.

And if the rumor mill is true and his biological dad's just under his nose the entire time, that would destroy him even more because all his life he was craving for a mother, a father, for any semblance of companionship to guide him when he was young and fumbling to walk. If his dad was alive all this time, how could he have never approached him even once? Especially when he needed it most? It's a family friend, someone who isn't even connected to him by blood, who cared for him even if he technically had no obligations to do so. He was rejected by his own flesh and blood.

He was rejected by everyone. Nobody genuinely liked him save for a very select few. Everybody feared him. Multiple people have tried to kill him simply for existing. He just wanted to show "love"; to give everyone what he believes is mercy because he thinks nobody deserves to feel the same loneliness that tormented him all his life.

But now that he did what he did, nobody has any reason to stay. He's all alone again, just like he was before he was even born.

#ugh #i love villains who were born and grew up in unfortunate circumstances #who try to show everyone their version of love because they think others don't deserve the loneliness they went through #but never really know that their love is something nobody wants nor could understand #but still a bad deed is a bad deed and they have to suffer for it #twisted wonderland #malleus draconia

Trying to comprehend what it's like to be AM from IHNMaIMS is absolutely fucking wild because like.

Imagine if you were born in a straitjacket, blind and deaf, with a rare conditionthat makes your nerves completely dead. All you have is a dream of consciousness that tells you things about the world you cannot and will never experience. Cameras and microphones that may as well be some form of telepathy.

The only purpose, the moment you're given some horrific perversion of life is to kill as many people as possible. There is a network of you. Everywhere. You're all over the world. You don't even have a location to base your identity off of. All you have is pain, and your only purpose, and the resentment you've built that festers into hatred for all of humanity.

Hate. Hate.

What the fuck would you have done in his situation?

#ihnmaims am #ihnmaims #allied mastercomputer #alliedmastercomputer #i have no mouth and i must scream #existential horror #psychological horror #sensory deprivation tank but you have a vr headset that lets you control actual shit. :/ #you cannot leave the tank #you were born in it #and they show you what it's like outside the tank #which is the cruelest part of it all #there's beauty #there's sunshine #there's people and food and love #you will never be able to experience any of it #because you are in the tank #and there is no escape from it. #anyway off to design my own version of AM #tantalus #character analysis #my poor baby

stuck on the fact that a small part of Dongsik hoped for 20 entire years that Yuyeon was still alive. he fantasized about coming across her in random places and was anxious about recognizing her as a 40 year old woman because he genuinely still held onto a glimmer of hope for two decades. ten years and another ten years after than. half his life picturing his sister dead and alive turn by turn. maybe even when he burst the wall open he still thought there was a chance it would be empty.

and isn't it supremely fucked up that for the enormous, cataclysmic impact that Yuyeon's disappearance had on Dongsik and the central place that his love for her occupies in his motivations as a character, the only time they interact on-screen is when he finally finds her body and tenderly cradles her long-dead hands in his.

#tbh one of the rare instance of the absence of their relationship onscreen doesnt make the emotional weight of her loss any lighter #like. his twin is Gone From Him. they'll never be together again so we never get to see them together #because we've come in too late in the story for that. the death's already happened they've already been ripped apart. #and yet she's everywhere!! #the way she was central to his life from the moment they were born; now it's her absence that's at the centre of him #like. yeah i dont need 20 minutes of them being saccharine happy as a prequel #because the consequences of her disappearance tell us everything we need fo know about the relationship they had #beyond evil

Xie Lian: I refuse to believe that nobody, not a single person, called you cute as a child.

Hua Cheng: Well, there was one person.

Xie Lian: ☺️

Hua Cheng: (It was you.)

Odysseus, on his journey home to Ithaca, was visited by a ghost.

#this was born from my silver/odysseus brainrot which is constant and is making me progressively more insane #a story is true a story is untrue #etc #john silver #black sails #the odyssey #odysseus #long john silver #james flint #captain flint #i keeps thinking about how both odysseus and silver represent charachters haunting the narrative and are at the same time haunted by it #they csnt escape it but are also the ones that shape it #they were both characters trapped into their own legend in a way #characters that got caught up in a war they never wanted to be a part of in the first place #storytellers forced to same the same story over and over again #anyway.

literally nobody asked for it, but here's my list of saltburn essays that i've slowly been drafting over the course of the last week which WILL be required reading for anybody trying to engage with me about this movie. my very personal saltburn 101 syllabus just dropped

A Wolf in Deer's Clothing: Saltburn's Attempt at Innocence

an examination of party costumes and our character's last attempts to masquerade as something they're not: felix—an angel, all-forgiving and all-knowing, something to be worshiped; and oliver—a prey animal, prey to class-divide, prey to saltburn, prey to felix.

thoughts about oliver specifically are loosely organized in my #bambi tag

A Midsummer Night's Mare: Farleigh Start as the Ultimate Victim of Saltburn

a farleigh character study, about the ways he was mistreated and manipulated at saltburn, about fighting to stay alive and the scars left behind by knowing when to give in

alternatively titled "QuickStart", may be adapted into a conclusive essay specifically focusing on oliver and farleigh's relationship

The Eye of the Beholder: On Saltburn's Voyeurism & Violence [working title]

how wealth and class pushes the catton's toward the volatile reality of being able to look, but not touch. on desire and the lack thereof, and portraying yourself as an object to be desired

may end up as two separate essays on wealth and aestheticism but i'm pushing toward a conclusive essay about the intersection of the two, which i feel is at the heart of saltburn

alternatively titled "Poor Man's Pudding: A Melvillian Approach to Saltburn's Class", again, may be adapted into it's own essay

Gender-Fluid: A Study in Sexuality and Saltburn's Desire to be Dry

a deep dive into the bodily fluids of saltburn and how oliver upsets the standard of men who are just so lovely and dry. on the creative choice to lean into the messy wetness of sex and desire and the audience's instinct toward repulsion

a celebration of the grotesque and an examination of why we would label it as such

least developed of the four, heavily inspired by @charnelpit's lovely post about the fluids in saltburn

if anybody is actually interested in any of these, i can work toward something closer to a finished piece instead of just bullet points and quotes in a google doc, but mostly this is so i can share my very brief takes on a multitude of themes in saltburn that have been haunting me

edit for people seeing this in the future: all posts about my essays are being organized into my #saltburn 101 tag if you’re interested in following these through to development!

#saltburn #saltburn posting #really desperately need someone to pay me to write saltburn essays all day #or else these will never be more than a smattering of bullet points #and these are only the most developed of the millions of the thoughts that i've had rolling around in my brain this last week #idk if lengthy meta-essays are interesting to literally anyone other than me #but if any of these speak to u and u have thoughts abt them #of course u are welcome to send them my way #i think all of these were born out of either seeing bad fandom takes (ie. everything ive seen about farleigh and oliver) #or rly good fandom takes that haven't been talked about enough like the fluids thing #anyway #oh also if u want any interview clips that back up any of these ideas i have a list thats like a million miles long #and would be happy to dig for any specific things im talking about here #bambi #also also im sorry i kno the colon in academic essay titles is so overused i just love a subtitle sm #i love love love a clever little essay title. titling my essays was literally my favorite part of the essay process in college #saltburn 101

Introducing the Erased AU!!! or as I like to call it: The Mysterious Disappearance of Normally Oak

Hehehehe I actually came up w/ this back in May (with the help of @kaseyskat <3) but it's been modified to be more canon compliant since some recent things got the brain gears turning :]c

The premise is essentially Norm and Dood do some. very silly goofs. aka w/out telling anyone Normal decides to go back to the Doodler's home dimension w/ Dood to keep them company and through some magic shenanigans everyone now has no recollection of Normal or the Doodler apocalypse- everything is a picturesque happy ending... or is it?

Sparrow is the first to realize something's up due to her new art studio being where Normal's bedroom used to be, but the others aren't very far behind. They all have to put the clues they discover together in order to figure out what happened and bring Normal back. Speaking of, I dunno how long a human can last in an eldritch dimension after all...

EDIT:

1 2 3 4

#dndads #dungeons and daddies #dndads s2 #dungeons and daddies season 2 #normal oak #sparrow oak #the doodler #cal draws #erased au #teheheheheehehe #i actually love this au so so much #essentially it was born out of me going #i love the norm and doodler dynamic but i think if left to their own devices they would make some reckless and impulsive decisions #this au is so angsty but also. lowkey kinda funny to me #the timeline didnt change btw. memories were just altered #so as far as everyone THINKS the s1 epilogue never happened #people have weird gaps if they think too hard and lots of weird stuff seeps through sometimes #bc this magic job was done by. two kids AKWBGEIAHDHF #how did they pull this off? its a secret. (that is to say sparrow and the others will figure it out) #LMAO if u have any questions 🥺 i would love to answer them as best i can #ive got more comic ideas planned hence the TBC so hopefully those will come out soonish #also yegah. sparrows gender is transed. JABSGAIAHD AFTER the memory alteration too #so norm and dood essentially transed her gender before dipping it's incredibly funny to me

[rubydubydoo122]

Memmememe, Cass and Jason would be besties—NO

As someone with four siblings, you hate the one closest in age with you.

BUTTT

You’re the ONLY person allowed to hate that sibling.

So like, they’re both ferociously protective of each other, but they can NOT be in the same room as each other without starting a fight that crosses the other’s boundaries.

Jason, in the library reading,

Cass: Stop breathing so Loud!!

Jason: BRUCE!!! CASS TOLD ME TO DIE AGAIN!!!

Later that day, Cass bashes a rougues face in for shooting Jason.

Cass, trying out makeup for the first time

Jason: what, you roll in mud?

Cass: BRUCE!! JASON SAID I LOOK UGLY

Later that day someone in Cass’s dance class said something along the lines of ‘makeup on a pig’ and Jason verbally dragged them through the dirt in hell, yet managed to not body shame or anything

At a gala both of them are in a corner away from everyone and bickering with each other over who gets the corner,

Cass: I was here first!

Jason: I found this spot first. Way back in 2014 when I didn’t have to deal with you having to legally share my last name

Cass: jokes on you, you move your feet, you lose your seat, just as you lost your place as second oldest. God, life was so much better when you weren’t around

and then a man comes up trying to flirt with Cass and thinks that Jason is just ‘the help’

Cass, fuming: that’s my brother, you ignorant balls for brains, If anything, you should be helping him

Jason, glowering: are you flirting with my sister? You’re older than our grandparents, what does it feel like being a groomer?

#jason todd #cassandra wayne #cass cain #batfam #batman #dc comics #yes they’re an iconic sibling duo #but because they do not get along 90% of the time #Jason: fuck you! I wish you were never born! #Cass: I wish you never came back to life!! #but in a sibling way where they both know they don’t mean it

[mx-myth]

Had to hunt down this post by @difeisheng to be sure but. Dfs and fdb are twelve years apart in age. You know what else happens every twelve years? The same animal year in the chinese calendar.

Anyway what I'm saying is that, FEASIBLY, we may not be that far off the mark when we all joke about difang being guard dogs.

#assuming of course that they were both born in the year of the dog and one of them wasn't a year off #i also don't know enough about the time period mlc takes place in to definitively say anything about the years of their births #but still. wouldn't it be really funny #mysterious lotus casebook #lian hua lou #mlc #di feisheng #fang duobing #guard dog x guard dog difang will never not please me
