Oh cool Also, in that case, how about a fic where after the events of the manga, Kid starts taking his stress and grief (and some of that trauma from being kidnapped) out on Spirit, telling him it's all his fault because he didn't do his job in the first place and stick beside his father like he was supposed to. Mostly because he can't bare the thought that he himself might be responsible :)

I got reeeeeally carried away with the angst on this one! So we're definitely giving some warnings for it! Thank you for the request!! <3 And your endless patience!

Post-Manga angst with Spirit and Kid

Warnings: Alcoholism, heavy swearing, drunk rage

*Ending up to interpretation on whether it's positive or negative*

Spirit was used to being lashed out against. He didn’t always make the best decisions in life, but he was also in a highly stressful and dangerous position. It took a lot of mental fortitude to be in his position. The thoughts of the enemy never bothered him. Why would he give the time of day to the thoughts of his targets? It did hurt though, whenever his daughter rejected him, or when one of his coworkers decided to point out anything that wasn’t up to their standards, or when Lord Death wouldn’t take him seriously.

He had some rough days, but nothing a night out drinking on his day off couldn’t fix for him. Though he hated to admit it, after the final battle for the academy, he found himself going to the bars more than once a week. He found that every night was becoming more and more rough and that on top of his rocky relationship with Maka, the most stressful part about work now was interacting with Kid, who had become his new boss since Lord Death’s passing.

Spirit could take criticism just fine, but there was a difference between saying “Hey, you need to put in more focus to get this paper work done” and saying “Of course you don’t have your work done. You’ve always been the most useless Death Scythe. Why did my father ever keep you around?” At first, he took the comments in stride. Kid was overwhelmed with power and responsibility and didn’t see how or when his father died. Spirit figured that overtime, the comments would become less harsh, but no matter what effort Spirit put in to try and make Kid’s life easier, there was no pleasing him. It was as if Kid had latched all of his grief, anger, and confusion onto Spirit. Still, Spirit felt there was nowhere for him to go, so he stayed with the academy and bottled up the feelings that were being thrust upon him every day.

He’d stopped going to ChupaCabra’s after his drinking binges started to become more frequent. He already had a reputation there and he couldn’t stand the thought of making it worse. So he found a little hole-in-the-wall bar in Death City that he decided to frequent instead.

The night was the same as each one that had come before it. One drink turned into two, into three, into one shot, into many. He didn’t question the practices of the bar, he was just glad to go somewhere to drink so he at least wasn’t alone.

As he sat, nursing his 4th drink and the bartender letting him know that he’d finished off another bottle of vodka, Spirit’s phone began to ring. The noise was grating on his ears, but still, he grabbed the phone and answered, only for Kid’s vitriolic voice to ring in from the other side. It immediately soured Spirit’s mood, but he composed himself as much as he could as he pieced together Kid’s demands for him to get back to the academy and help him.

Spirit absentmindedly hangs up the phone, approaching the counter and throwing some cash to the bartender.

“‘M leavin. Gimme a beer for the road, kay’?” he slurs.

The bartender complies and Spirit stumbles his way back up to the academy. He isn’t sure how long it takes. He hasn’t been sure how long anything has taken in months. Still, he climbs his way up the stairs and shuffles his way to the Death Room, certain that he himself looks like death.

He meets Kid’s gaze, the bottle of beer loosely dangling in his right hand. There’s an immediate look of rage in Kid’s eyes.

“You’re drunk. Again.”

“N’ yet, you still asked me to be here” Spirit mumbles.

Kid stands and Spirit isn’t sure what’s going to happen next. Kid takes a deep breath then lets out a frustrated screech as he kicks his chair hard, it crashes against the floor and Kid whips back around, stomping his way up to Spirit.

“Is this what you did instead of staying and protecting my father? Did you fuck off and get piss drunk while everyone else was fighting Asura?”

Spirit’s eye twitches and the anger he’s been feeling everyday begins to boil up inside of him.

“You know that’s not what happened,” he says.

“Sure, maybe you didn’t go off and get drunk while we were fighting, but certainly that war wouldn’t have needed to happen if you were just able to do your damn job!”

Spirit snaps, the anger taking over and he turns, chucking his beer bottle against the wall. It shatters, littering the room with shards of glass and the distinct scent of yeast-y alcohol.

“I’m fucking tired of this! If you think I’m a piece of shit, just fire me already. I’m done being your emotional punching bag just because you can’t accept your dad’s death. Have you ever thought that maybe the one who killed him isn’t the enemy? Didn’t that annoying little mouse Excalibur say that? Those stupid lines in your hair- that was his timer. So, instead of blaming everything else in the world- instead of blaming me for an entire war that would have happened anyway, maybe look in the mirror and realize that your dad is dead because of you!”

The two are silent as they stare in shock at each other. Spirit immediately regrets it and slumps against the wall, sliding to the floor and putting his pounding heads in his hands.

Kid shifts uncomfortably, straightening up but remaining silent.

“God, I’m a piece of shit- I just screamed at a teenager because I’m a garbage human being. M’ sorry, Kid. I won’t bother coming back in. This isn’t working.”

Kid lets out a deep breath.

“No. Sober up and come back in on Monday. I need your help with this.”

He turns to leave, the tension in the air heavy. He looks at Spirit, sitting crumpled pathetically on the ground.

“Just Your help.” Kid emphasizes before leaving the Death Room.

Spirit stares in the direction of the door, trying to process what Kid said to him. Unable to decide if this was progress between them, Spirit slowly hobbled his way to the broken glass bottle, picking up the pieces before heading out. He figured that he’d find out on Monday.

i see this jason todd who actually looks his very young age (instead of the 30yr old man that comics like to portray)

and feel my heart breaking just imagining bruce beating him up, almost killing him, mind-breaking him, and just overall being a total piece of shit father towards him.

a huge chunk of the reason why people don't view bruce's actions towards jason as abusive or wrong is because jason doesn't look his age. he's drawn to be this 35yr old father of three who looks even older than dick (and way too on par with bruce) that people see their fights as one between batman and any of his regular rogues. when they fight, it just looks like batman is fighting a man his age and not an actual young person. it doesn't look like batman is fighting his son who's barely even drinking age (and who def wasn't drinking age in utrh). their fights are portrayed in a way that eliminates the very real power struggle between them.

this applies to jason's entire character as well. a lot of people don't sympathize with how he died or his actions as robin or his fights with the other bats because he doesn't look his age. he always looks older and scarier than everyone else. tim has many sympathizers from the titans tower incident because jason just looked like a grown man fighting a 12yr old (even tho i disagree, tim was built and like 17 lmfao).

anyways, i just wish comics would actually draw jason to look his age, which literally ranges from 19 to early twenties. he's young- so young, and it's so annoying to see him drawn and written as someone older than even bruce.

#the way everyone in jason's robin run saw him as this adult despite him being 12-15 #like what the fuck #just because a child has experienced more than the average adult doesn't make him any less of a child #it's like the typical groomer thought process #if jason was shown younger in arkham knigjt for example there'd be less people calling him whiny #they showed 15yr old jason's torture scenes like he was a 25 yr old #he should've been shown as the small child he was #it would've put more perspective into how cruel and fucked it was of the rogues to torture a literal child #and then bruce almost killing him in rhato...#now imagine if jason looked his age there #honestly this all just feeds into the idea that jason feels too small for his big body #imagine being this tiny kid growing up and then dying and coming back to life as this tank #arghhhhh!!!!!#jason todd #red hood #batman #jason peter todd #bruce wayne #jason todd deserves better

I wish she had more scenes... Whateva

#dungeon meshi #rinsha fana #kabru #tumatawart #dont tag as ship #? Do people still use that these days #**SPOILERS in the tags I will ramble a little.**#I like how they have opposite ways of thinking with their shared environment shaping them greatly. I wanted them to talk about it together #Kabru just separates from the group for the rest of the series when the Canaries arrive without any reaction and I was like What...#Maybe briefly entrusting Rin as the party leader since in his eyes she's the most reliable... Having her do things her way.#Not necessarily showing how they fare. Thatd get messy but a slight change in dynamic after they come back together in the finale dinner #Maybe I need to reread I might be missing something u__u

Dp x Dc AU: Tim doesn’t rest, not even in Death.

It’s a heart attack that gets him, well, that and the insane amount of fear toxin flooding his system. He was dead for a full three minutes before he watches (how was he watching?) his eldest brother get his heart going again and get his unconscious body to the cave. Alfred gets him onto bat-life support and Leslie looks gravely at his family after she’s done her best to heal him. They decide to keep trying, they don’t want to believe he’s gone.

Tim watches in fury. He’s more useful than this, he’s not just going to die and let the family mourn him! Tim sets to work trying to understand what’s happened to him and he realizes he must be a ghost. Therefore, if he wants to understand ghosts he needs to go where ghosts are, and thankfully he just read a JLD doc saying to avoid Amity Park at all costs.

It’s takes him a second to get used to flying at full speed, but he finds himself surrounded by strange people in a strange town and… he notices himself becoming more visible. He’s able to interact with more and more objects, he even picked up a pencil! Poltergeist is a step forward in his plan, Tim accepts this change of pace.

Then Tim meets Danny, a normal human kid who looks like he could be brought into the manor and given a cape, who looks straight at him.

“Wait, who are you? You didn’t die in Amity did you?”

“No, I died in Gotham. I came here to understand how I’m a ghost and how I can get back to my dying body. I just need a few answers.” Tim explains, and notices that his voice isn’t his own, like it’s a different language entirely that comes out.

“Well, uh, I dunno about going back to your body but it’s not safe for you to be here. The GIW are looking for lost souls like you that people won’t notice go missing. So get back to your family and find peace. Im sorry but that’s really the best advice I have.” Danny answers.

Tim begs him for answers on the GIW. Begs him for any answers at all. Danny shrugs him off each time, tell him that he’s just a ghost and he needs to move on before he gets hurt or becomes a problem.

Tim decides if he’s a problem, he’ll probably get more answers.

Soon enough, he’s stepping into the end of a battle where Phantom is getting Skulker into a thermos, and demands answers, and if not answers help.

They brawl, and Tim’s training as Red Robin gets him farther than a lot of ghosts. And then, when he knows he’s beat and he’s about to share thermos space with the robot jackass (who he can interrogate and then build his own robot) Tim realizes something.

“You’re still alive, aren’t you? You’re Danny, black hair and blue eyes.” Tim says and suddenly Phantom is as still as the dead despite the accusation.

“How the fuck- dude. Okay, you know what? Fine. Lets go talk, you’re clearly not giving up and I need you to never say that shit out loud ever again.”

Because blackmail works in life for Tim, blackmail also apparently works in death.

He’s given all of the info they have on the GIW, he’s introduced to ghost technology and how it works with ectoplasm. He’s told about the portal (although they refuse to sneak him into the house to see it- he can handle a few lasers, ugh) and he’s told about the general sequence of events in Danny’s life/death.

And then Tim is suddenly back in his body in Gotham.

The family found a way to bring him back and he’s 100% alive, no longer ghostly, but he retained all his memories.

“We have a war against the government to start” are not the first words his family expected to hear from Tim post death.

#dcxdp #dpxdc #dc x dp #dp x dc #dc crossover #dp crossover #danny phantom #Tim drake #ehehehe #long post #Tim’s obsession is answers if that isn’t obvious #danny does not anticipate Tim’s ghost disappearing to mean that Batman comes to his town #and the JL suddenly lobbying the government to overturn the acts as they violate a shit ton of other laws #Tim eventually makes it back to amity as a human and Danny is like *WHAT*#they get coffee and Tim explains to danny that he’s scrubbed all the GIW files and is about to take down his parents #he wants Danny’s blessing to go after the portal and danny is blushing so fucking hard but agrees that his parent have been out of line #for like way too long #Tim and danny become friends because they’re just two restless souls who have shit to do and not even death can stop them

I love Raph and haven’t said that enough so to be more specific I love that Raph is a soft boy who loves bear plushies, a gross boy who eats an assortment of things that are definitely better left alone, a smart boy who is more than capable of taking down villains through planning and fortitude alike, a strong boy who is dedicated to training his muscles and fighting prowess, a teenage boy who loves his brothers but is more than happy to tease and roughhouse with them, an angry boy who sometimes lets his anger take a hold of him to cover the fear, a gentle boy who is generous with hugs and affirmations to those he loves, a capable boy who takes on more than should ever be expected of a teenager, a good boy who just wants to be a hero and slowly comes to realize the cost of that duty, a good boy who has no reservations about putting himself in the way of harm coming to his family, a good boy who’s a great brother and son and person and deserves only the best the world has to offer.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt raph #rise raph #he’s so wonderful frfr #my poor boy is traumatized but still so proud of what they accomplished because they’re HEROES #what started as something fun - Saturday morning cartoon-like heroes vs villains esque - soon becomes his calling #and he loses himself a little along the way #because the world is TERRIFYING now #if they don’t do something about the bad things in the world then worse things will come #and Raph CARES too much to let it happen #even at the expense of his own happiness and youth #and he luckily reigns back that fear - knowing his family is there to keep an eye out with him #and he finally lets himself be a kid again #he’s very well rounded and his flaws are so good because (like the others) they are ALSO his strengths #I like how it’s softly implied that bears are his fav animal too bc that’s cute af #headcanon that he likes them so much because a stuffed bear was the first toy splinter managed to get Raph #but yeah one of my favorite things about tmnt is that the characters are well rounded and rottmnt exemplifies that immensely #with raph being no exception!!#amazing big brother and character #there’s a REASON in my tmnt main character tierlist he’s S tier!!!!#hot take but in terms of who should be leader I think it should be less who’s the better leader-#-and more who’s the better leader FOR THIS SPECIFIC MISSION #bc all four can be great leaders fight me on that #APRIL can as well 100%#doesn’t need a designated leader for them to succeed #they just need ~communication~#one of my favorite things tying Raph and Leo together is that they both *hide*#I’ve talked about Leo’s many masks a lot but Raph has one too #and it’s the mask of a hero - the mask of the protector

comic about v2 and the goal they'll never fully reach alongside a dissatisfying conclusion. intimate rivalry and all (alternative ending comic. V1 dies instead of V2 during 4-4. V2 is narrating. V1 is dead.)

#high of victory drops to an overwhelming crushing feeling of what comes next now that youre done #if it wasnt clear v2 is trying very hard to put v1 back together after it kills them. very very poorly. weight of your actions hits #v2 #v1 #ultrakill #v4v #heavy implied at the very least. see as you will #i realize now that the writing is very disconnected and so are the drawings but bear with me here. do you see my vision #theres something going on between these two that is beautiful but also extremely codependent #at least on v2s end #tried to do those two descriptive pages in a way where it went like. 2 - 3 small details about v1. and then something very specific. some-#-thing theyd only know if they paid close attention to how the other acted or looked #took me a few days to put together and im pretty happy with it i think #feel free to dub or do whatever as long as you gimme credit where credits due #there are many ways to interpret v2 and this is one of them #gen art

Wei Wuxian 🤝 Maleficent: Not being invited to a child's birthday party but showing up anyways (to make things worse).

(for @youremysunshine8)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #jin ling #jin zixuan #jiang yanli #The joke here is that the glue is a 'curse'. The golden hat is now a party hat *forever*.#The prompt was just 'wwx celebartes jin ling's birthday' but what is an uncle if not a force to be reckoned with?#YLLZ would rock the Maleficent garments. I think we need to consider the implications of a possible crossover AU.#He would be *that* petty bitch who shows up uninvited like “oh...widdle old me didn't get to come? Get cursed idiots.”#This one comic sent me on a deep dive on the history of glue. There is a lot of history on glue.#Humans will see two objects and go 'I need to find a way to put those together'. Not to mention the amount of variety in glues.#I am now imagining the YLLZ doing his dark research on glue. The forbidden techniques to creating forever glue.#Glue so good it can piece a soul back together. Xue yang wishes he could get his hands on that recipe.

something happening on a mission, something personal that has soap spiralling; panic and rage making him reckless, thoughtless, and ghost has to draw the line

“you’re compromised johnny; you know what that means?”

“you’re not pulling me out,” soap immediately snarls. he turns on him and ghost barely recognises him; venomous fear turning his eyes to unyielding ice. "you're not sidelining me; i need to be in this-!"

but ghost has never been afraid of venom; spat or dripped straight from bared fangs.

he snakes out a hand grip the back of his neck, jerking him in a rough shake. "if you can't think, you can't be a soldier," he growls and he flinches like he's been struck.

his lips quiver as they twist in a sneer and he wrenches, trying to free himself of his hold.

ghost doesn't let him.

"it means you give your body to me because your head ain't fucking attached to it anymore."

soap stills, body trembling beneath his hand as he sucks in shaking breaths.

he tightens his grip, pulling him closer and digs his forehead hard into his. “it means you give yourself to me so i can have the weapon that you are and use you the way you're meant to be used."

the ice in soap's eyes fractures.

ghost’s voice drops to a whisper, spoken only to johnny, not this facade of vengeance and pain, and wills it to reach him through the glaciers.

“so i can keep you safe ‘til it’s done and i can bring you back.”
