Patron God/Ghost King au

where after a few centuries of boredom, Danny gets a sudden influx of college student worshippers but it's not too worrying since all the offerings he's gotten so far are just different snacks ranging from crackers to a full bowl of mac n cheese. Without any other options, he goes to the only halfa he knows who had finally settle down from dimension travelling to studying in a dimension where she knows the people wouldn't need an extra helping hands of a hero.

King Danny "get me out off paperwork" Phantom: Heya Dani, do you know if something happened that resulted in mass worshipping?

Danielle "I built a shrine of my brother in the empty storage closet of my dorm building to see if it would work" Phantom: gee golly I have no clue on what could have happened to result in that

Words tend to spread really fast especially when it comes to tired students who has nothing else to lose. Besides, after leaving a a potato chip on the creepy looking shrine in the storage room and feeling a strange wave of calm/relaxed/focus and passing that paper you've been struggling with for the whole year, who wouldn't keep doing it and leave even more snacks.

Next thing you know there'll be a creepy little shrine piled with snacks on top of it in empty storage rooms of different college and universities. Eventually the students find out what to call their entity of calm after one claimed to left their notebook in the storage only to find a little scribble that says Phantom in that slightly glowing and possibly toxic green ink.

---------------------------------

In hindsight, Tim should have probably stayed at home and rest after staying up all night finishing a paper due the day after tomorrow but Bruce had asked if he wanted to tag along the JL meeting with the JLD because of... whatever it was Bruce mentioned so who in their right mind would say no to that. So now here he was half listening to the banter meeting about some eldritch entity that could be a threat to humanity and what offering should they provide to complete the summoning. Of course after hearing a familiar name of his preferred deity of submitting papers on time, the delirious boy never even registered what he said.

Tim "barely conscious on his 11th cup of Pedro Pascal's Starbucks order" Drake: Phantom?? give 'em poptart... green flavour...

[this was just a fun little thought but I might add on to it from time to time]

One of the things that never fails to amaze me about the DISGUSTINGLY talented puppet makers for the Jim Henson Company is that they can create something that looks alive even when it’s not being manipulated?

Like, look at these guys. They look like actors, not puppets or dolls! Kylan looks like he’s sneering at the camera and Deet looks taken aback as if someone’s just shoved a camera in her face.

These people truly amaze me!

"Power is much easier to acquire than it is to hold on to" Madoc, 6

"It amuses her to keep me out of trouble" cardan, 14

"It seems I have a singular taste for women who threaten me." cardan, 180

"She is my wife. The rightful High Queen of Elfhame. And most definitely not in exile." cardan, 147

"It was terrifying, watching you fall. I mean, you're generally terrifying, but I am unused to fearing for you." cardan, 159

"My sweet nemesis, how glad I am that you returned." cardan, 204

"It’s you I love,” he says. “I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn’t have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours." cardan, 209

"I do love you. I will always love you." jude duarte, 278

"I love you." jude duarte, 291

"If I let myself love you, I would burn up like a match. Like the whole matchbook" jude duarte, 291

"And you do love me." "I love you." "Because I am clever and funny. You didn't mention my handsomeness." "Or your deliciousness. Although those are both good qualities" cardan & jude, 291

"I knew little else, but I always knew you." cardan, 292

how the king of elfhame learned to hate stories:

"Not a heart of stone, but a heart of fire." 31

"The odd curve of her ear was what he had noticed first." 55

"Jude, Cardan thought, hating even the shape of her name. Jude." 57

"Playing the villain was the only thing he'd ever really excelled at." 73

"There was absolutely no reason to think of Jude in that moment. she was utterly insignificant." 74

"Boys change. And so do stories." 79

"A heart of stone can still be broken." 86

"Stop telling me who I am. I am tired of your stories." 99

"I am nothing, if not dramatic." 111

"He had always been awful. Now he was just worse." 118

"And all through that night and for many nights after, he couldn't rid his thoughts of her. Not the hatred in her eyes. That he understood. That he didn't mind. It warmed him." 124

"But every night, Jude haunted him. The coils of her hair. The calluses on her fingers. An absent bite of her lip. It was too much, the way he thought about her. He knew it was too much, but he couldn't stop. It disgusted him that he couldn't stop." 124

"Remember, all you really get to control is yourself." 12

"Cardan cannot mind when he takes Jude in his arms." 132

"Why didn't you hate everyone? Everyone, all the time." "I hated you." 133

"Because stories tell a truth, if not precisely the truth." 159

"You don't think monster girls and wicked boys deserve love?" 162

"Having a heart is terrible, but you need one anyway." 165

"No one's heart has to remain stone." 166

"Surely you've heard of her, Jude Duarte." 166

"Truly, I don't know what I would do without her." 166

"You didn't hear the story I told. A shame. It featured a handsome boy with a heart of stone and a natural aptitude for villainy. Everything you could like." "You are really terrible, you know that? I don't even understand why the things you say makes me smile." 172

"The next time you want to make a point, I beg you not to make it so dramatically. "So long as you're begging." 173

the stolen heir:

"If I look at him too long, I want to take a bite out of him." 28

"I wonder which sister he'd glamoured. I hoped not the one who sat on the throne now, his life in her hands." 46

"The sword's name is Nightfell," he whispered. "It belongs to Jude." 49

"Some people are ridiculous. Especially when it comes to love." 69

"Let me do that," he says, taking strands of my hair in his fingers. "it's the color of primroses." 102

"Since you're in a benevolent mood, perhaps you'll also dance with me." 117

"Kissing him is profane. It gives all the horrible satisfaction of smashing a crystal goblet." 120

"Hit me again," the prince says, daring them. 146

"It's me. Now go away." "But I've only just found you. And I want to talk." "What will you give me if I do, Prince of Elfhame?" "The pleasure of my company?" 152

"Let me stay in the woods with you." 153

"I thought you didn't like me." "I can prentend, for one night." 155

"He'd acted the fool, that his enemies might believe he was one." 168

"It pleases me to see a Greenbriar with some teeth." I assume that the last is a dig at the High king, well known for leaving the fighting to his wife. 169

"It would be safer if I hated him. Since I cannot, perhaps it is a good thing that he now hates me" 171

"Maybe I'm glad that you gave me the opportunity to be my worst self." 173

"I suppose you want to believe I charmed you into kissing me?" 191

"He'll steal your heart." 198

"Do you know what I admire about you? That you never stopped being angry. It can be brave to hate. Sometimes it's like hope." 216

"It is my curse to adore cruel women." 235

"When his eyes meet mine, desire, as keen as any blade, bends the air between us. The moment slows. I want to bite his lip. To feel the heat of his skin. To slide my hands beneath his armor and trace the map of his scars." 247

"I am poison. Poison in my blood. I poison everything I touch." 279

"Pretend with me," he whispers. And then he presses his mouth to mine. 291

"My greatest weakness has always been my desire for love. It is a yawning chasm within me, and the more that I reach for it, the more easily I am tricked. I am a walking bruise, an open sore." 333

"Fear is not love, but it can appear much the same. So too, power." 349

"But I can't pretend that I don't like the sound of him screaming my name." 352

Secretly rich (even to himself) Wei Wuxian AU wherein Wei Wuxian starts to anonymously sell original Tailsmans and Arrays when he's young and puts the money away in a secret account. He doesn't really use it except for emergencies so even he wasn't aware of how much money he had accumulated over the years until he needed to pull some money out for something.

I will never acknowledge b*or*t* for anything other than sasuke looking as good as always. and that’s the only positive thing that was done for him in this manga.

you can’t tell me or prove me that the same 17 years old who controlled all 9 bijū at once, the same 17 years old who spammed rinnegan after learning it basically on the go in the middle of the fight after being essentially dead, the same 17 years old, who fought a demi-god 10 tailed jinchuriki obito then 99,98% god madara, then actual goddess kagya then 99,99% god like naruto, the same 17 years old boy, who used perfect susano repeatedly in combination with amaterasu is the same old man who can’t use amenotejikara ability once without ‘running out of chakra’. he has zero reasons to be so damn weak? we are not given a single explanation to why is he experiencing such troubles with chakra control and chakra reserves. he doesn’t have any sickness or something, no curse or seal or ANYTHING. somehow we’re just supposed to be okay with that? and to hell with power scaling and his abilities. no what happened to sasuke as a character? ‘Im ready to die for this village any given moment’, - excuse me what now? konoha changed on the surface level: no one knows about shit that danzo and hiruzen did, no truth was revealed about the uchiha massacre: if it was no one would have questioned sasuke’s absence in the village because it would make absolute sense for everyone. why tie him down to one village anyway? sasuke waned to change - revolutionize - shinobi system as a whole, not only konoha. why box him in that stupid village. yeah, he’s traveling but we see noting of it. he’s traveling and doing what? teaching classes about danger of oppressing a founding clan of your village to the point of them snapping and being ready for to overthrow the authority in place? or what? what was he doing this whole time. what was naruto doing this whole time? why are kids still attending the academy so young? why are they still training them when they are so young? chunin exams are far easier and less deadly, but that’s it? really? where is a changed system? nowhere to be found. instead, here, have some trains, burgers, PlayStation and other veeeryyyyy important stuff. konoha is still a shit show wrapped in pretty plastic bag from luxury brand. and sasuke is ready to die for it? bullshit. it would’ve been character development if he said ‘I’m ready to die for those I care about’, - but not really because sasuke was ready and almost did it thrice at the age of 12 and 13. sasuke never had an issue with sacrificing his live if it meant to save those he loved. land of waves? haku? ring a bell? chunin exams? orochimaru? giving his all while fighting a literal living legend? huh? chunin exams again, while being influenced by the cursed mark that was eating his chakra and corrupting his mind, after using chidori more time than he should’ve and still not giving up and standing up, knowing full well he might die there and then. so it would only be natural if he said something like that. but no, it’s konoha that he’s ready to die for now. for no reason. for a bunch of buildings and a mountain with faces on it. great. if it came to this, just let him be a mercenary. someone who’s helping every village: small and not, but especially small ones like ame, those villages that are always affected by wars the most. because hatred is born from hurt and sasuke being the one knowing it all too well should be the first to reach out to people in those villages to help them out in every way he can. to end this cycle. but instead kishimoto said ‘fuck it’ and made him into konoha’s ‘true shinobi’ whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean.

Gwendolyn B. Bennett | To a Dark Girl

#blackhistorymonth #blackpoets

I love you for your brownness, And the rounded darkness of your breast, I love you for the breaking sadness in your voice And shadows where your wayward eyelids rest. Something of old forgotten queens Lurks in the lithe abandon of your walk And something of the shackled slave Sobs in the rhythm of your talk. Oh, little brown girl, born for sorrow's mate, Keep all you have of…

Before the siege, A-Yuan kept having nightmares.

It got worse as days passed, the Burial Mounds' skies got impossibly darker, no one dared to leave the comfort of their sheds.

The child kept waking up every night, crying to his grandmother, asking for his Xian-gege.

But Granny Wen could only do so much, for she was weak and tired. So Wei Wuxian took A-Yuan to sleep in the cave, albeit not comfortable, to lay down in a hard slab, the child did not seem to mind.

Every time the child woke, crying and screaming from a nightmare, Wei Wuxian would hold him close, whispering comforting words until A-Yuan calmed.

And he hums the child a lullaby that would pull both of them to sleep.

Don't you worry now, everything's okay.

The Sun is outside, making sure it's safe.

Sleep now, little starlight. I'll be by your side.

The last words were comfort, for both the child and the man. Though he himself does not realise it.

The clouds will protect you, for you they'll be brave.

Then he's gone. Suddenly they were all gone. And no one sang the little child the lullaby anymore.

Poison Ivy in MDZS

Wei Wuxian convinces Poison Ivy, a very beautiful lady, to come with him to Burial Mound.

Of course, we as the readers know that he wants her because she can grow plants... so can she grow the potatoes that he so dearly wishes? Wei Wuxian doesn't know but he wants to find out!

From the outside, for the people who are not privy to Wei Wuxian and Poison Ivy's conversations (aka pretty much everyone), it looks like Wei Wuxian is courting this beautiful exotic lady... for marriage. Especially when she goes to Burial Mounds and has clearly moved into the mountains.

Lan Wangji is Not Happy about this to say the least.

Fanon Petpeeve: Disregarding Wei Wuxian’s Gift For Jin Ling

Now, this happens in a lot of fics, and there is no one type of fanfic that these scenes show up in, only that the fic is set during the Yiling Laozu days.

The gripe that I have comes as this: When it’s times for Jin Ling;s one month celebration, instead of the canon gift that Wei Ying created, the writer will have Wei WuXian gift (or try to gift) baby Jin Ling…..a YunmengJiang Sect bell.

Now, some may be thinking, “why does that tick you off?”, but let me explain.

Qiongqi Path part 2 is a culmination of the the three years of the sects’ malignment towards Wei Wuxian. He gets ambushed by people from all the sects, being accused for a crime he did not commit. Jin Zixun destroys the gift that Wei Wuxian made for Jin Ling and when Jin Zixuan shows up and (terribly) tries to deescalate the situation….well we all know what happens.

During this scene, Wei Wuxian was so pissed off that his gift was destroyed that he charges Jin Zixun. Now, some may be thinking again, “wouldn’t he be that pissed if the gift was a Jiang sect bell?” but:

By having Wei Wuxian gift Jin Ling a Jiang Sect bell you care taking away some of Wei Wuxian’s prime reasons for being angry during that scene.

Keep reading

“Wei Ying?”

Wen Qing’s breath hitches, her heart drops onto the cold, murky ground as the answer she awaits does not come.

“Wei Ying? Wake up, this-“

Her hands shakes as she grabs a hold of the man’s shoulders, and she hates it hates it hates it when it does that. It shows the world how cowardly she truly is.

“…this isn’t funny Wei Ying-“

The doctor jostles the man continuously, but he does not wake.

He isn’t breathing. Her lungs seem to be working too well.

His body is cold. She couldn’t have felt warmer than that moment.

He isn’t moving. Wake up wake up wake up-

“Xian-gege?”

Wen Qing flinches at the voice of the child, she sees him, in the entrance of the cave with confusion written all over his face, the ragdoll Wei Ying made in his warm embrace.

“What’s wrong with Xian-gege?” A-Yuan asks, running towards the man he saw as a father, tugging his sleeve, shaking his hands and legs and calling his name, voice growing louder every second.

And…her body is nothing but frozen, kneels buckled before the man that saved her family from misery.

Move. She bites to herself. You’re a doctor you do nothing but move.

The best fucking doctor in this generation. Yet her body won’t listen. I can make miracles and fix any injury this world throws at me.

I can help him. I can fix him. I have to help him. I have to fix him.

But she can’t do anything.

In the end it’s Wen Ning who finds them, worried why his sister hasn’t come out the cave yet.

He finds her slumped over the ground, eyes soulless and unmoving as the whole place gets filled with a-Yuan’s wails.

Calling, begging for his Xian-gege.

There was no ceremony, they couldn’t afford one.

They sent Wei Ying off quietly, peacefully. Just as they thought he would’ve wanted.

The small family of healers watched as the fire devoured the body of the man who helped them, no sound could be heard, not even the undead. Only the whimpers of a child.

A family of healers. Wen Qing thinks bitterly. Couldn’t save one damned man.

She should’ve expected it, after his death one by one they started to leave the world as well. As if their souls couldn’t handle the sadness.

The grief held her, held them all.

Right down to their very graves.
