DPXDC Prompt #56

Danny gets kidnapped on a family trip to Gotham. The kidnapper thinking that Danny is one of the Wayne’s because of his appearance. He gets saved by Nightwing and unfortunately for him the eskrima (I’ve also seen it spelt with a c so someone please correct me if I’m wrong) sticks that emit electricity mixed with the super condensed scarecrow toxin cause him to relive the accident. Unknown to him that the Joker is being extra and broadcasting the whole thing to live TV.

His rings flicker in and out as he struggles to get a hold of himself, does it work?

four to doomsday is a funny serial because it’s objectively kinda dull but it’s so SO good at showing us what makes fivey and his friends tick

“Power of concentration” ok king preach :D

where’s the love for the writers out there writing your heart out for a fandom of three and a half people i love you

when it comes to writing it’s good to think of your brain like a muscle. but keeping that line of thinking I wanted to say that as writers we have different skills and that’s okay. so you may be good at short sprints. others do long. some even do marathons!!!!! whether you write 500 words or 5k words or over 20k words it is still valuable, it’s your work and it is time well spent

let's have some fun

im going to start a study group discord at some point and see if people on here join. i have summer studying to do but idk if many other people do so maybe it will be kind of dead until september but idk

no listo ya me cansé de solo hablar ingles aquí estoy arta de ver tanto inglés en qsmpblr y nada de español francés o portugués, es un servidor multilingüe con fans de todo el mundo si quieren entender lo que digo y no hablan español por dios sólo usen el traductor 😭

no sé si voy a postear arte con leyendas en español pq tumblr ya es suficientemente malo para artistas pero por lo menos cosas asi de texto voy a tratar

The truth is, sometimes there is no watsonian answer.

Lets say for a moment a character is established to hate the color green. Then in one scene we see them wearing a green scarf. This is never mentioned or explained. It can be fun to come up with watsonian (in universe) explanations for this behavior. Maybe he got it from this other character who loves green, or maybe he changed his mind. But when those explanations actually directly contradict what happens on screen, then there is a problem. Lets say it is impossible for him to have met this other character and gotten a gift, or he mentions his hatred for green again two episodes later meaning it is impossible for him to have changed his mind.

Now your fun watsonian headcanon instead of adding meaning actively detracts meaning. Now it makes the story worse not better. Now the story stops making any amount of sense because you insist on calling attention to something the creators never wanted you to. This can be fun for AUs and headcanons, please keep with it! But it is a shit basis for shit literary analysis.

The truth is, sometimes his scarf is green because that is what the costumer designers had on hand. The truth is, sometimes there is no watsonian answer.

having a week off and having to spend it in a little village where i don't know anyone but my grandma and i have no wifi and almost no signal........

did someone tag tony in that last drawing or did he find it on his own?💀

Oh Anon…….. Did you know tony is a good case of attention whore? Like, I thought I was at a nice level myself, but that was before knowing about tony 😆

More seriously, there was no tag, not by me, not by anyone else. So yes, he searches his name on twitter regularly, I suppose. To be honest that was a test from me, I wanted to know exactly that, if it’s safe to write his full name (while hoping he would appreciate the content enough to react to get that info), and well, it’s not haha.

I posted the tweet around 11 pm, he reacted to it at 2am (in my time zone in Belgium, so for him it was around 8h earlier or something like that) so it’s quite a fast reaction. The first time around he has been tagged in the comments (i didn’t tag him, didn’t write his name in the post) and he showed up FAST like 50min after being tagged, and that was at 7pm in my time zone so it’s two different time of the day to react.

So I either got lucky twice in a week (which is very possible, 2 clues aren’t much to conclude anything), or he’s very much on twitter these days, and he both checks his mentions AND searches himself. Either way it seems like there is a good chance he’ll see what you post.

If anyone feels like being seen, and maybe get an interaction, now may be a good time to give it a try. It’s actually cool to have the opportunity to get an interaction, even if it’s motivated by his ego. It’s quite the rare thing to get from celebrities. And he’s still being very nice here.

it's such a shame that taylor has some songs i genuinely really like but she insists on being the worst, most annoying kind of celebrity to the point i can't listen to her music anymore

Okay like, I think it'd be too long to put in the tags of the last post so I'm making my own post but ngl that method helped me A LOT. It helped me unlearn So Much stuff by having that first thought, interrogating it, and replacing it. Cuz way back, the thing I'd do is have the first thought, hate myself for it, never try to have it again which isn't helpful At All. And then I reached a point in my life where it was like, have the first thought, avoid it, which is just as worse.

And then last year, when I realized A Lot of stuff bout me, I had to work on unlearning so much during then and like okay, this is like treading the territory of "you gotta be unwell a lil bit to heal" typa thing, like imagining your favourite characters Right There. But mine is like, a lil to the left. Cuz when I realized all the stuff I gotta unlearn, there wasn't any character from a media that can count for that just yet (I got hyperfixated on Cain months after the realization but if I've known him earlier he would've ngl took on the patron saint role in my life of unlearning unhealthy stuff)

So what I did was... used an OC. It wasn't Alec and Ray surprisingly enough cuz in my head they have their own lives and it was a lil harder for me to put them in that role. And it just so happens I have One OC that is specifically made with an awareness that makes it seem like he's a self-insert but not really. It's Alerik. The designated creator of the universe that is practically aware of the truth behind that universe and his own existence so it was easier to pull him. And it worked.

Cuz whenever I do the have first thought, interrogate it, replace it thing, I can't get it right in a way that when I think of interrogating Myself, my brain's immediate reaction is always "hatred" so then when I got Alerik to do the interrogation, my brain couldn't react immediately cuz it isn't just Me, there's Alerik now and he's both me and not at the same time, he's a piece of me. That I love. So my brain couldn't react with "hatred" towards a character I made with love, it worked. I could interrogate myself, figure out "why" I reacted the way I did, "why" I had that first thought, and what I could do moving forward without hating myself or avoiding anything. And I love it. Cuz after a year of just that, slow and steady, I managed to unlearn most of the bad habits and get rid of the self-hate. I love myself now! And the world! And everything just seems so much beautiful this way.

a reminder that I'm currently TAKING A BREAK from writing

I've got too much going on and life is kicking my ass :')
