Glitterbombs for rogues
A/N: I got sick over the holidays. So I did not do any of the writing I originally wanted to do. So instead of that Christmas Story you get this Mark Rober inspired little tidbit.
Tim had a new favorite Engineer Youtube. The boy was a bit younger than him but a genius Engineer judging by the hand full of videos Tim had marathoned through. According to the listed self-introduction part of the video, Danny was currently an engineering student in Gotham with the goal to work one day for NASA. (Tim held out some hopes that he maybe could snag the kid for WE if possible. He had already sent out an internship offer after the third video he had watched)
Either way, Danny had potential and ideas that borderlined on mad science. But made his videos of his little projects even more entertaining and interesting to watch. Tim's favorite so far was Danny's explanation on how he reconstructed his toaster so that it would launch itself into space after the third his roommate burned toast with it. He did buy his roommate a new toaster at the end of the video though.
Still Tim liked this guy and his videos. So with anticipation he clicked on one of the newer videos. The title having caught his attention: 'Why Glitter'.
Instead of the usual introduction bit with little highlights of Danny's previous project the video started out with a big fat warning in red letter to not attempt to replicate anything in the video. That had Tim very curious already, but then a little video clip following that had Tim spitting out the coffee he was just sipping from.
Thankfully he missed spitting on his phone, still he jumped out of his cozy bed where he had been watching YouTube on his phone and hurried over to his laptop. The video, meanwhile, was continuing playing. He could hear the usual music from the introduction part as well as Danny's voice explaining his reasosn -which were valid, Tim had to agree with some of them- once that part was done.
By now he had fired up his laptop and was researching. The video in the background was explaining how Danny had build his Glitterbombs similar to the once another youtuber had but slightly modified them since he was not going to use fart-spray. Tim eyes widened as he found the first correlating news articles, wondering how they hadn't seen them sooner, but a glance at the date revealed that they were only posted a couple of hours ago.
Danny in the video was no explaining about his fist chooses victim and Tim dived onto his bed from his desk to get his phone back in his hands. Wide eyed, he watched as Danny obviously with a GoPro strapped to his head, crawled through what looked like an air vent. Once he reached an opening he looked through the slits into what appeared to be Riddlers hide out. Danny took the Camara of his head so that he could grin into it making the sign for silence as he barely contained his own chuckles. The other then waited for a moment, the camera work now getting wonky and the video even glitching out but a second later Danny was back in focuse before pointing down and then directing the Camara to his view. There in Riddlers hideout now sat Danny's self engineered glitterbomb.
"No he didn't..." Tim muttered as the video cut to a different scene. Danny was now walking through the sewers, humming cheerfully while explaining why he chose who he choose.
Another cut and... Tim spluttered. How the hell did Danny manage to just walk into Arkam?! So he hadn't seen wrong at the beginning of the video.
Growing paller with every cut on how Danny delivered his self-engineered Glitter bombs, Tim started to fear for his new favorite youtubers safety. Thankfully he had already done his work on Danny's person when he sent the internship offer. Now he just needed to get Danny to freaking safty.
He dragged himself to his laptop still in disbelieve as various clips of the rogues getting glitterbombed from the bombs perspective started playing. And yep, he definitely didn't see wrong now in the beginning. The Joker was one of Danny's chooses victums. Aside from the fact that he was so going to download and save that video for eternity as well as share it with his brothers and friends, (because as funny as it was that most of them were Gotham rogues, Luther and another millionaire by the name of Masters had also been made victims.), he still had to figure out how to ensure this definitely insane youtubers safer from the warmth of 90% of their rogues now.
Great newly discovered favorite youtuber has just painted a big fat red target on himself.
Tim was just about to call everyone in when a bonus at the end of Danny's video started to play.
He recognized that safe house.
He recognizes the weapons displayed on the walls also.
Oh... that's...
Still laughing Tim still sent out a message to everyone. When asked why all he did was sent them the link to the video with to timestamps.
The first one of the Joker getting glitterbombed
The second one being Red Hood getting glitterbombed.

i am in love with your sollux i think
Tumblr media
sollux love party :]
if you’re interested heres some of my personal fondness thoughts on him.. big warning for the mega long read ahead aye
as we alr know sollux's rejection of participation somewhat mirrors dave's rejection of heroism, but even without getting cooked to completion i still find sollux's character v compelling beyond the fourth wall
as someone who doesnt get a pinch of that Protagonist Sparkle to begin with, he can openly say he wants to leave anytime…. and unlike dave, he actually Can leave the scene anytime. but he can never be truly Free from the story via permanent character death like the other trolls.
his irrelevancy is indeed relevant - he’s there so u can point him out.
while his image is intended to be a relic of past internet subculture, his role is not only about hehehaha being a Chad or a 2000s cyberforum 2²chan haxxor ragequit gamebro.
his continued existence also happens to add a Bit to the overarching themes of homestuck! a Bit that gives him longer-lasting thematic relevance compared to the trolls who could’ve had more character potential but didnt get to survive beyond the main story.
the Bit in question:
his defiance contributes to the illusion of agency (treating characters = people with autonomy). he’s “aware” of it, and that recognition is worth noting enough to forcibly keep him alive as both reward and punishment.
considering how his personality & classpect is designed its definitely a very haha thing for hussie to do LOL. he’s made to be op asf so he's resigned to doing dirty work, gradually deteriorating along the way but never truly dying. as fans have mentioned before, him openly rejecting involvement after a while of grim tolerance is like if the sim u were controlling suddenly stopped, looked up and gave u the finger while u were step six into the walkthrough for Every Possible Sim Death Animation.
but since he’s just a sim… the more he hates it, the more you keep him around. if ur sim started complaining abt your whimsical household storyline you’d definitely keep that little fuck.
but yeah i like that sollux is just idling. the significance of his presence being that one dude who's always reliably Somewhere, root core Unchanged, no individual ambitions (possibly due to fear of consequence?), and design-wise: a staple representative product of his time.
compared to dirk's character, who has aged phenomenally well into the present (themes of control + AR + artificial intelligence, clearer exploration around navigating relationships/sexuality, infinite possibilities of self-splinterhood and trait inheritance), sollux's potential is really... contained. bitter. defeatist. limiting and frustrating in the way old tech is.
Tumblr media
the world continues moving on to shinier, brighter, more advanced automated things - minimalist and metaverse or whatever but sollux is still here 🧍‍♂️ going woohoo redblue 3d. (tho personally i imagine his vibe similar to what the kids call cassette futurism on pinterest mixed w more grimy grunge insectoid influences eheh)
conceptually-speaking,
at the foundation of it all, the rapid pace of modern development was built off the understanding of ppl like sollux in the past, who were There actively at work while the dough was still beginning to rise
thats one of the cool things abt the idea of trolls preceding humans! the idea that trolls like sollux excelled back when lots of basic shit still needed to be discovered, building structures like networks and codes from scratch, and humans will eventually inherit and reinvent that knowledge in ways that become so optimized it makes the old manual effort seem archaic, slow, and labour-intensive.
but despite information/resources/shortcuts being more accessible now, much of the new highly-anticipated stuff released on trend still end up unfinished, inefficient, or expiring quickly due to cutting corners under severe capitalistic pressures
meanwhile, some of the old stuff frm past generations of thorough, exploratory and perfectionistic development still remains working, complete, and ever so sturdy.
those things continue to exist, just outside our periphery with either:
zero purpose left for modern needs (outdated/obsolete)
or
far too important to replace or destroy, bcs of its surprisingly essential and circumstantial usefulness in one niche specific area.
which are honestly? both points that sum up sollux pree well.
Tumblr media
dramatic ending sorry. anw are u still on the fence or are u Sick abt him like me </3

Have you tried asking Doug his thoughts about TBB S2 Ep16?
Honestly, I'd love to hear them.
It was pithy, to be honest. Sometimes Doug goes OFF, and sometimes he's fairly reserved.
This is all I got from him that day, on my text messages:
"Aw, no, not Ryan-from-Accounting! Eh, he'll come back as Space Gandalf, calling it now."
"Oh, poor orphan Blondie."
"Damn fat lizard bitch."
"Daddy Rambo is so worthless, why isn't Toaster Strudel in charge."
"Oh shit what is Jimmy-the-Scientist doing?"
"Oh shit, stepsister Beth is the sister after all!"
But 'The Solitary Clone' aka 'DADDY WARCRIMES' GOES TO TEXAS' was WILD.
I'm typing that one up as best I can!

So, about your Infected Space AU, does that mean the turtles(Raph, Leo, Don, and Mikey) aren't brothers? Or, they are, but the two of them got infected just recently without having the rest knowing?
This somehow reminds me of a folktale I heard that came from other countries, of fae taking a newborn human child, and replace them with a changeling. I'm not sure whether I'm on spot though.
Your AU is pretty interesting.
They're all brothers!! Raph and Leo just got infected :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have drafted the actual scene- its just kinda bad and i plan on rewriting it lol:
They entered another door, Leo muttered to himself as he looked around. Disinfecting sprayed them, suddenly covering their visors in a thin layer of liquid. At least the place was somewhat intact. Raph huffed, shaking his head in an attempt to wipe it off. The doors opened again, leading down a hall with a glowing floor. From inspecting it, Leo realized it was above a large pool of magma. Leo shuddered at the thought of falling in and quickly shuffled forward. They entered another room, this one actually having a light source inside of it. 
Leo grumbled when he yet again, found no one. “You’d expect a place as large as this to have at least a dozen people,” Leo complained, turning his flashlight off, and letting his helmet compact back into the suit. Raph grunted, placing the box down on a table and doing the same. He was pretty glad when he could see clearly again. 
“Maybe they’re all in one spot?” Raph said, trying to sound hopeful, his voice sounding alot more organic than it had previously. 
Leo rolled his eyes, fists clenching. “I doubt that. There’s literally dust forming on this table, I don’t think they’ve been here in a bit.” Raph winced at the annoyance in Leo’s voice. “This is stupid! Why are we even in here right now, we should’ve left when we found no one at the gates!” He yelled, turning around swiftly. Raph’s eyes widened when a glass cylinder started to topple. 
“Leo- the glass!” Leo turned around and managed to save the glass from falling off the table. They both let out a sigh of relief, as he went to place it back. Ting. Something sounded, as another glass container fell over. Both watched in horror as it played dominos with the other fragile-looking objects on the table, and as dozens of items smashed to the ground. Liquid splashed onto the floor, and oddly shaped blobs laid on the floor.
The sound of glass shattering soon stopped, and the eerie silence of the place returned. They turned to look at the mess they made, a worried frown spreading over Raph’s features. 
“What are we supposed to do? Clean it up?” Raph asked, taking a step away from the mess. 
Leo rolled his eyes. “No one’s here anyways. These experiments must be ages old anyways. Let’s just leave.” Leo turned his back from the glass when he suddenly felt something slam against his back.
He let out a surprised yelp as he turned around to try and get it off, the creature slipping away from his grasp and sliding closer to his face. He gasped, as Raph tore the attacker from him, struggling to keep it in his hands. Whatever it was, it was dark pink, gooey, and deformed. It had tentacle-like limbs wriggling around, and it was producing a loud, high-pitched squealing. Raph screamed as it escaped from his grasp, launching itself onto his face. 
Leo's breath stuttered in his throat before he finally realized what was happening. He sprinted forward, tackling Raph in an attempt to get the creature off. It slipped through his fingers multiple times before he pried it off of Raph’s eye. It screeched, clinging onto his arm, an acute pain coming from where it was. He yelled, slamming it to the ground and backing away. 
He watched as the tiny monster tried to regain its composure, but was instantly interrupted when Raph’s boot smashed it. He stomped on it again, the movements of the creature soon stopped to a halt.

going feral over the first piece of art made in space again. 1965, cosmonaut Alexei Leonov performs the first ever spacewalk and barely survives. gets back in the capsule and the first thing he grabs is a piece of paper and the pack of map pencils that were sent up with him, and he sketches the sunrise.
Tumblr media
AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT LOOKS!!! it's made fast and loose but trust me that is exactly how the sunrise looks and feels from the upper atmosphere!!! i've only seen it from a plane but it's UNCANNY how close it is to what i saw!!! he was the first human to be outside a spaceship in space and survive and his first thought on getting back in was "i can't be the only one to know how beautiful this was for any longer than i have to." ohmy g od, ,, AND I KNOW EXACTLY HOW THAT FEELS!!! the first thing i thought seeing the sun rise at 13,000 meters up was to take a picture because i have to hold on to this in some way hol y sh it

the problem with Flight Rising is that when you acquire and breed beautiful dragons, you then end up with more beautiful dragons, which you would like to keep

Everytime I hear the term "millennial grey" and folks going on and on about how people my age suck the color out of everything I'm like, explain my kitchen. WE painted this yellow. It was not yellow when we moved in. Please be so serious right now.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Honestly I don't even think it's a generational thing. I think, like most shit, it's a class thing. But no one wants to talk about class because then we'd have to examine some things and ask hard questions that far too many folks would prefer to ignore.
