ngl going through all these ‘AO3 is down’ posts got me kinda feeling left out

like, it happened to be one of the nights I went to bed early instead of staying up till ungodly hours being my mentally-ill self and reading fics, so I just missed the whole thing entirely

okay so i was thinking of a joke earlier about how in DPDC Amity Park's slogan "a great place to live" is not only city propaganda but also the city lording it over the rest of America for being normal. But then I remembered that, despite how many DCU Cities with heroes in it there are, the amount of cities in America without heroes still far outnumber the amount of cities in America WITH heroes.

So I did a little digging so the joke would still land. Something most heroes have in common is that they operate in major cities. What makes a major city? I found that the general consensus is that the population is roughly over or around a million. THEN I looked up the populations of cities in the DCU that I thought of off the top of my head. So Gotham, Metropolis, Starling City, Central City, Jump City. All of them ranked up to millions in population (most of them were in the tens of millions).

Amity Park's wikipedia describes it as being similar to specifically Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco.

Philadelphia's Population: 1.576 million as of 2021 Chicago's Population: 2.697 million as of 2021 San Francisco: 815,201 as of 2021

Whiiich means that Amity Park if we take that from canon, is probably a major city. There are approximately 19,000 cities in America with probably less than a hundred that are major cities. Adding the DCU major cities wouldn't skew the data too much.

Which MEANS that I can make the joke that Amity Park's "great place to live" is not only just typical city propaganda, but also its Amity Park lording it over the other major cities for being one of the only major cities that doesn't have problems bad enough to warrant a superhero or a vigilante. Cue stage left the Fentons and Phantom :)

Amity Parkers were probably SO proud that they didn't need a superhero. They didn't have to worry about things like 'world ending threats' and 'super-powered individuals' and 'staggering property damage'. And then enter Fentons.

It also could be used as an excuse for why nobody took notice to Amity Park getting ghosts if folks like me aren't huge fans of the notion of a media blackout via Tucker, Technus, or the US Government. Or if you want to keep Amity Park as its urban city self. Amity Park's news on ghosts gets drowned out in a week because there's news on more popular, well-known cities going on every other day. The shit going on in Amity Park is every other major city's regular Tuesday and it gets filtered as such.

I saw a post sometime ago saying that writers are things to be nurtured. And I can’t help thinking about all of us in our little pots on a window ledge.

In the centre are green and lush plants with heavy buds, ready to unfurl. These are the fun ones because with just a bit of water, you don’t have to wait long to see the flowers, and they’ll probably keep blooming, and you get to see all these new colours and petals every time you look.

Whereas on the dusty end of the ledge, there are plants that are droopy, with yellowed leaves and dead buds that haven’t bloomed in a long while. These are nowhere as fun to cultivate because the payoff isn’t as quick, and heck, you don’t even know if anything will come out of all the pruning and watering and repotting.

Please look out for the half-dead potted plants on the dusty end. Most likely, they’re feeling unloved, invisible, and not worthy of sun and warmth. But if you nurture them, check on them, give them love, they might just surprise you.
