#Fuck the nice guy
Text
I FUCKING HATE NICE GUYS™
This guy omg so I meet him at a fundraiser I covered for work and he's got good conversation so I hang around him all night because everyone else cliqued off and I didn't want to be bored all night. A little too agreeable (I'll come back to that) but nice enough and decently intelligent.
So I leave when I'm done with the coverage and I'm like that is that fun night whatever. He gets my name from the organizers of the event, finds me on Instagram and asks me for my number. Red flag number one my dude if a girl doesn't give you her number you do not find her Instagram to ask for it. Luckily for him I thought he was harmless and nice enough.
So I give him my number and we get to chatting. It's going well, he's nice and intelligent and agreeable. Except now his agreements are contradicting things he said the night we met, so I'm already suspecting that he's trying to get me to like him by being agreeable and not showing me what he actually values and believes.
We talk about hangouts and future plans because well he may be a bit suspicious but being agreeable and finding me on Instagram aren't big enough red flags to put me off of attempting to build a friendship with him. We find out we both love astronomy, and he has a telescope, so he says "imagine a nighttime picnic date where you just look at the stars" and so I very politely say "it sounds amazing, but I feel like now would be a good time to say that I'm aroace and will never be interested in you romantically".
He goes "so dating but not developing feelings" and I say "no dating, just hanging out and friendship". This guy that has been texting me every waking minute for 3 days straight goes quiet for an hour. Then he says "I respect your decision" and starts talking about "hangouts" but they're distinctly date plans. Stuff like giving me a foot massage cooking me dinner giving me wine while I watch TV, so I'm like pulling back a bit because now it feels like he's trying to convince me he'll be a good idea to date. All the while he keeps love bombing me.
He calms down and we get back to our usual conversations, except I'm now mask off spamming this dude about my interests and not asking him about his to try to create the illusion that I'm self-obsessed and inconsiderate to try to put him off wanting to date me. Today he asks if I want to go camping with him and watch a sailboat race. I say I won't be able to make it. Then he asks if our milkshake hangout this Saturday is still on but before I can open the messages he deletes them and says "nevermind don't worry about it" which now tells me he's trying to appear insecure and make me pity him.
I say trying to appear insecure because he was very confident about making very intimate plans before I blatantly shot down the camping trip, so why would he suddenly be insecure about plans we've already made?
Luckily for me I've been manipulated a lot, and I hyperfixated on manipulation, abuse and human social behavior in general as a way to help me cope and to prepare in case it happens again. These red flags are subtle, which is why so many people miss them and end up in abusive relationships, which is why I so often missed them and ended up in abusive situations, but I can spot them now and they are flying proudly all over the place.
#tw abuse#tw manipulation#tw emotional abuse#tw psychological abuse#Manipulation tactics#love bombing#Cult tactics#nice guy#Fuck the nice guy#F the nice guy#nice guys finish last#Nice guys should finish last#They're just agreeable abusers

friend wanted to see my tumblr, and when i told him i can’t show it to him bc it’s basically my personal diary he went “oh so I can’t see it but a bunch of strangers on tumblr can??” he literally does not get me. no one will get me like the people in my phone get me
#It’s just so different#even though it’s public it still feels secret and safe. i feel comfy sharing a lot more on here than I do in my actual day to day life lol#in my head I’m also just speaking to myself 90% of the time which helps#if a friend off tumblr saw my thoughts I’d feel so weird ab it#esp bc they might get the vagueposting about certain situations and tell mutual friends#no thank u. this is for me. I’m not about to start censoring my thoughts bc someone I know knows my tumblr#u guys literally saw me have LIVE BREAKDOWNS#meanwhile I’ll have the worst fucking day in history and tell no one about it. I’m already cripplingly private but way more so in real life#this is basically a low stress journaling outlet for me. it’s so important for me to maintain the separation#like this is actually my diary & has been so handy for letting out emotions / articulating thoughts / staying on track !!#& I’ve met so many kind people on here who actually get me. which is so hard to find irl bc I’m surrounded by pre-med gunners/overachievers#who are by standard not very good w emotion & can be competitive/judgmental. or at least it’s hard for me to be vulnerable in front of them#and I’m part of that crowd so I reserve my emotions only to a handful of very close friends#it’s nice to hop on here and express negative emotions!! or positive emotions!! just whatever I want and it’s low stress and people get me#I don’t have to worry about judgment or competitiveness etc etc#like everyone on here is so kind & nice & understanding. & just a breath of fresh air from the types I run w. it’s just nice to have this#so idk that’s why I think I’ll always be strict about keeping the worlds separate. it just works#p

i have lots of flaws but i do at least take a fair amount of comfort knowing that, if i were a customer NPC in a fast food/retail management game, i would be one of the chill early-level ones that can wait a super long time before they start getting impatient, and you breathe a sigh of a relief when you see them show up in a harder level
#buny text#was standing in line at popeyes today and they were SUPER busy and the staff couldn't even take my order for a while#and the guy at the till was like 'so sorry for the wait we'll get to you soon i promise' and i was like hey no worries 👍#and he gave me this look that i understood from my own time in retail to mean 'thank you for being fucking normal'#there was nobody else behind me cuz i showed up at the very end of the lunch rush i think#and in that moment i just pictured like. a lil timer wheel above my head that was still green and mostly full lmao#i love being nice to retail workers it's so fun

Today my tumblr shoelaces arrived in the mail. I had to explain the ENTIRE saga of tumblr shoelaces to my mother while my brother (also a grown adult in his 30s) groaned loudly from his office. My mother, however, was delighted. She has declared her intent to compliment people's shoelaces and watch their expressions. (She is 67 and apparently an agent of pure chaos.)
She also asked me to "tell tumblr" that she thought the whole thing was "delightful" and that we are all "very funny people."

DP x DC Prompt
…
There are no more heroes.
Well, okay. Rewind a bit.
Danny has been doing the hero thing for a while now. He’s had a big reveal; everyone has accepted him (including his parents), the GIW disbanded, the Anti-Ecto acts repealed, and generally, everything is going great. Some of the A-Listers are even training as junior ghost hunters to help give him a break from his rogues! (Being Ghost King makes things hectic sometimes, and he just needs the extra help. Sue him!)
The point is, literally nothing is wrong with Danny Phantom’s afterlife.
And then Valerie Gray, the Red Huntress, disappears in front of his eyes.
Danny is baffled! She’s just…gone! Valerie just popped out of existence, like she was never there. But no matter how hard he searches in the Ghost Zone, he can’t find her soul anywhere. His core isn't broken in grief. So she’s not dead. Which is good. So then, where is she?
Some of the others come forward with ideas on how to find her. A few ghosts volunteer to go out into the mortal realm, an area Danny had declared off-limits, to see if she was out there. Danny approves it. He rounds up some of the friendlier (i.e., discreet) ghosts and Amity Parkers and demolishes the outside travel ban.
So everyone spreads out, looking for their dear frenemy and teammate. But it becomes apparent very quickly that something is wrong with the rest of the world.
There are no more heroes.
Every single living superhero on the face of the Earth has just…vanished. Villains are running amok; the countries are in chaos! Some aliens are invading Earth, mythical deities are trying to take over, and society is crumbling to the ground. Everything is on the brink of collapse.
Well, Danny was still there. And so were his people. They were pretty spread out, so could they just…take up the mantles? He also knew where to find the souls of dead heroes in the Zone; surely they wouldn't mind coming out of retirement for a little bit, especially if they couldn't die again. Oh! And that skeleton army leftover from Pariah Dark's reign might be useful in repelling those invading forces.
Honestly, there were more than enough hands to go around! And with the heroes gone, Danny didn't mind letting everyone out for a little break, as long as they followed his rules. They wouldn't stop the search for the other heroes, but hopefully, when they found them, the heroes wouldn't mind Danny's intervention too much. :)
In other words:
Someone fucks up, and all of Earth's living heroes are either wished out of existence or are whisked away to some far-off realm where Danny hasn't checked yet. In the attempt to figure out what's going on, Danny lets the dead run amok over the Earth as they search for clues. The skeleton army repels the invading armies, the souls of dead heroes deal with the world leaders, and his rogues and other Amity Parkers set up shop in place of famous heroes, trying to get the cities under control again.
Basically, they just do their best to keep everything from imploding until the Justice League and others are back.
(And why is it that Danny hasn't disappeared? Well, whatever caused everyone to go poof! only affected living heroes. Anyone heroes that were dead in the first place, or even just half-dead, stayed behind.)
#pondhead blurbs#danny phantom#dpxdc#reveal gone right au#ghost king au#for plot reasons#it doesn't count if the hero had died and then came back to life#lots of heroes would still be around then#but this is me pushing the halfa!jason todd narrative work with me here he deserves the fun#deadman is there too#and he's just thriving honestly. it's so nice to be around his own kind even if the world is ending#maybe ellie is whooshed away too cause she never technically died but she took up danny's moniker when he was crowned#vlad is ecstatic cause danny put him in charge of several states while they looked for clues including Wisconsin#skulker is replacing superman and just has a shitty S painted on his chest and just eats kryptonite like candy the first time he meets Lex#Kitty and Johnny take over in gotham and sam is now the new wonder woman#idk man just stupid stuff like this#the press is flabbergasted cause the fucking KING OF GHOSTS just showed up and he's 14 and just looking for some friends#Danny: hey guys sorry about the zombies and fire i'm just here to find my coworker and lil sister and maybe the other heroes#Danny: in the meantime i'll just let my army into the mortal realm to defend it while we figure out what's going on pls don't yell at us :)#the press: how do we explain this to the justice league when they come back. how do we explain that earth was saved by a 14 year old boy-#also idk which heroes are technically dead but are still kicking so if you feel like someone deserves liminal status slap it on them idc#some villains are trying for world dominance and some are just trying to find their buddies. their fight buds. where'd they go? :(#joker gets bitch slapped by a skeleton two days in and waylon becomes bffs with wulf#danny uses the watchtower as a base of operations and it's the only thing he doesn't want to give up when the heroes are back#i have no plot ideas beyond this#i just want everyone to be baffled that an army of the dead showed up while they were gone and just made sure everything stayed cool#later danny realizes he was technically the ruler of the world for a bit since his people were everywhere keeping the villains in check

Eddie post a Tiktok of himself sitting in his car. He’s not looking at the camera, but passed it. For a second, he doesn’t say anything. He just sits there, and he watches, and he nods to himself like, Okay. When he addresses the camera, he says, “You know, back in ‘86, after a series of events and an accumulation of concussions, my boyfriend- now husband - started having some health issues. Understandable. You can only get hit in the head so many times, but we handled it. We did what we can. We try to be safe. We go to the appointments, he’s takes his meds. We got an alarm for the house, got the service dog for the epilepsy. We don’t take unnecessary risks so-“
Eddie cuts off with a smile that is just clenched teeth and an almost laugh that’s incredulous all the way through like he cannot believe this. He flips the camera around to show Steve hanging up Christmas lights on the outside of the house, “So why. Why is my fall-risk husband on the fucking roof.”
<- Last Post | Next Post ->
#Eddie: you’re going to fall and die#Steve: then I’ll die doing what I love. having a better house than fucking Diane down the street#steve the type of guy to have an imagined rivalry with a neighbor. Diane is actually a super nice woman#steve harrington#eddie munson#steddie#Eddie Munson Tiktok saga

It's dark Arthur, pull out your lighter.
(practically I know john is most easily portrayed as a normal hooded guy with a mask but deep down my heart of hearts still belongs to mergo's wet nurse)
#can you tell i think mergo's wet nurse had the coolest design in bloodborne?#descriptions and author's notes in the image captions#i feel like that's the funniest way to stick those in there tbh lol#flashing image#hopefully not too flashing but idk how gifs get crunched on tumblr#malevolent#malevolent podcast#arthur lester#john doe#mp#my art#doodles#animation#kinda#lots of opacity filters that are suuuper disorganized lol#at some point i'm just gonna do a character sheet for john/KiY but it will actually just be a dozen designs i think are cool#but then will not draw in a practical setting because they're too wonky#i do think the masked guy design is quite charming and is objectively the right way to draw him interacting with anything#i just think fucked up creatures are cool#man i still love drawing profiles#idk why but they're soo much easier than drawing faces straight on#they're just Nice

The discussion around the fandomization of the I/P conflict is so fucking relevant because why did I just see someone in a discord for a reaction channel that reacts to musicals and cartoons suggest them to react to the Columbia ""protests"" with a heart emoji as if it's another episode of their favorite show and SIX other people agreed with that
#No seriously what the fuck#This is a reaction channel that does musicals and cartoons. Why do you think they want to suddenly talk about politics#Why are you suggesting violent (antisemitic) protests as if they're your favorite episode of a cartoon#Do you not see how fucked up that is#What would there even be to react to in the protest???#'oh wow those people sure are angry about Palestine. I agree. Oh wow they're screaming at Jews to go back to Poland how nice#'oh look they attacked someone how funny'#LIKE HELLO???#THIS ISN'T A NEWS CHANNEL IT'S A FUNNY GUY REACTING TO FUNNY SHOWS. HOW THE HELL DO YOU MAKE JOKES ABOUT THIS?#oh right I forgot this is a show for you guys#mango rambles#personal fruits#Jumblr#ישראבלר

people who are obsessed with passing are gonna be the death of our community i swear
#i understand how and why so many succumb to that temptation and of course i get it ive been there but its POISON#listening to a podcast where a trans guy says getting maamed on the phone bc hes nice means he “failed”#is soooo .... ugh#my dude that happens to so many cis gay men are you kidding me#are you really about to study how to be mean on the phone rather than just correct somebody#or just like not define your existence by fleeting interactions w strangers#if you define yourself only by passing at all times youre gonna turn into a sad hudsons guide esque husk of yourself#fuck passing 2024 i am so over it#it truly is a never ending chase for cis validation and its bad for us!!!!!
