Opinions on Dream? :^

SO many feelings about him omgg rant under cut please forgive me

okay so i don't really talk or draw him much cause honestly,,,most of the times i just think he's a bit....boring? or more accurately plain? not in a mean way either but just in a 'fades into the background' type of way like don't get me wrong!! he's a really nice friend to his peers, his feelings about his powers and aura making his relationships harder to navigate and trust along with his whole conflict with nightmare and morality about what's good and bad IS very cool!! and i love it whenever they write him to be complex and not on this black and white mentality or when he's just straight up following along his friends with no free will or with a dubious purpose without ever addressing his issues or feelings! it's just unsatisfying to me :')

or when they're making him the 'naive' and oblivious, (sometimes childish?) character being marked as the obstacle and villain along with the other star sanses from the fic's pov, always talking about doing good things while fighting his brother and not hearing him out about the balance, (and for weak reasons most of the time. like it's been so long and you STILL haven't sat down with him when he's, generally, basically begged you to just have a talk? guys please :'( ) or when they go for the victim sad dream always missing the old nightmare, where corrupted nightmare is the incarnation of evil, with no sympathy or emotion except anger and sadistic glee, killing and hurting everyone and dream's just trying to protect the multiverse and dream's always been in the right. such extremes!!!

LIKE!! i hope i'm not the only one that thinks a 500+ year old should have had enough time to idk. learn things? about people and manipulation and deceit? after knowing what the villagers did to night? about the bad things in the world and how there's a lot of grey areas in life and that he maybe reflected on his past enough to process and ask himself if there should to be a convo to settle his differences with nightmare (and you can make nightmare the stubborn one too! or have them BOTH be petty and imperfect and have some things wrong and some right at the same time like why do i always see the good guy vs bad guy cliché with these two when they're the perfect example of why positivity doesn't have meaning without the negativity!! as long as there's a satisfying evolution or growth that doesn't leave me empty i'm good yknow?)

plus i believe dream really isn't as dumb as people view him. i do get some of you saying he probably can't read or write since that's actually a pretty interesting idea to explore! but in general please let him have emotions other than pure sunshiny happiness or endless sadness like he's gotta have more depth than that! let him make mistakes, have flaws that don't just make him the bad guy that's always in the wrong by default, and be angry or suspicious or jealous or bitter or battling his mental health problems/depression or malicious or smart or witty or mischievous and silly or sarcastic or ANYTHING dude i just want him to be put into different scenarios where he can be serious or lighthearted like it doesn't even have to be long or perfect but make him feel real.

it could definitely be that i don't read or see much art about dream or really look for it hard enough but also i just. i feel bad for even saying this fr and i wanna be honest about why i don't enjoy most stories about him cause he always gets the worst treatment along with ink!!! especially ink omg the poor guy has it the worst i think like wow do they mess him up :'(

always one dimensional in non shippy fics, or too plain or easily replaceable by other, more entertaining people in the significant other's life in most of his ships like man. i have read fics out there that made me genuinely FEEL and root for him and love his character so much it restored all hope for me!!! but i can only name one on top of my head and the others? it's been so long i don't even remember their names i just legit feel terrible cause i love him still and i can't find many headcanons that fit my interpretation of him yknow?

not to say people who write him very happy, mislead or sad are ruining him like that's silly- if i see something i don't like i just. move on bro i wouldn't force people to feel or think the same way i do about him cause anyone can have whatever headcanons they want!!! just talking about what i personally look for in him and why i can't exactly find it since most of the stuff out there just isn't my cup of tea :')

hopefully i didn't set anyone off with this rambling opinionated essay i just pulled hhh xD i know i know he's a popular character and i know a lot of people like dream so *sobs* please please recommend me artists and fics about him that you think is good it's been so looong since i've read or seen anything new that makes me attached to this little guy aughg<33333

#ask #rambling #delete later?#probably xD i just wanna love him SO much but sometimes he's just *sigh*...forgettable #i tried to explain myself but also it's like 4 am and i skimmed through the proofreading so don't take this too seriously HHH #like really even when i do read good fics about him he's not on the forefront of my mind and it's painful to me :'(#i used to see him as my third fav but now? ever since i've read and seen characters who get heavier more in depth plots?#i can't say it with as much confidence :') and dream lovers out there i am not bashing your choice or even your headcanons #to each their own but i really wanna hear someone be passionate about him in my feed or askbox like TELL me about him #i've seen ink rants out there that are FIRE like so true!!! but where's the dream defense team???#maybe it's just me tho :') btw i still like cream but not the same way as before if i'm being real #it feels the same...all of it and it makes me wanna bite something ARGHGG #i know i know i ship some stuff that's basic too hhh but dream and cross are always written the same and dream is too innocent #and nightmare is too weird in some of these fics like if MY brother ever tried to literally attack my hypothetical partner????#i wouldn't give him the :'((( sad face and weakly tell him to 'please stop...you're hurting him'' like NO girl they're TWINS #they're the same age i would tell him to BACK off and not insert himself in my love life after years of ignoring and fighting LIKE #especially since most of the time cross is actually good to dream and all- so he doesn't have a good reason to disrupt his bro's dates #UGH i just have so many opinions but basically i would love him a lot lot more than i do now if they also let him be more flexible #and shake things up like with shattered and stuff! gimme alternate versions of him even if it's too ooc like we do for all the other sanses #jaa i am SO sorry you had to read all that dude thank you so much for passing by :'D

Do you think it was a date?

[DP x DC fic]

[Love at first... murder? - part 5]

<< Prev | Next >>

Part 1

Ao3

---

In-chat nicknames:

Daniel = Danny

Sharpshooter = Jazz

TooFine= Tucker

Chaos = Sam

TheCoolerDaniel = Danielle/Dani/Ellie

---

Private chat nicknames:

Bill = Danny

Pants = Jazz

---

As soon as Danny enters his apartment, face bright red, he takes his head into his hands and lets out a silent scream.

He could have said anything, and he panicked and went with Toodealoo Kangaroo???

At this rate, he’ll never get a partner.

As Danny stands there in misery, his phone starts buzzing with messages. Curious, he checks his phone to see what going on.

Uh oh.

---

Team Phantom 👻😎

Chaos: Guys check this out

Chaos: *link*

Chaos: The Joker escaped from Arkham again, but no one’s heard anything of him since, nor have they been able to find him

TooFine: @Daniel 👀

TooFine: ok the @ had been a joke but the fact that he has read it and not replied is concerning

Sharpshooter: @Daniel, what did you do?

Sharpshooter: @Daniel

Sharpshooter: I can see that you’re reading this, don’t ignore me.

TooFine: ohhhh someones in troubleee 👀

Sharpshooter: Tucker.

TooFine: 🤐

---

Danny takes a deep breath.

Well, it’s now or never. Let’s hope Jazz is feeling merciful.

---

Private chat

Bill: ok so you know how you said you would still love me if I was a worm?

Pants: I have no clue how this ties into the previous conversation, but yes. Why?

Bill: hypothetically

Bill: would you also still love me if I

Bill: hypothetically

Bill: accidentally

Bill: vibe checked someone that tried to uh

Bill: hypothetically

Bill: kidnap and or kill me??

Bill: 🥺🥺🙏

Pants: Danny, did you accidentally kill the Joker?

Bill: yes or no Jazz??!? 😩🥺

Pants: Yes, Danny. I would still love you if you, hypothetically, accidentally killed the Joker.

Bill: this is why you’re my favorite sister 🥹🥰😘

Bill: don’t tell Ellie 😳🫣

Pants: Danny, what happened?

---

Danny lets out a sigh of relief before proceeding to tell Jazz what happened.

---

Pants: Oh Danny.

Bill: are you mad at me?

Pants: I’m not mad at you, I just want you to stay safe.

Pants: While I don’t condone murder, I understand that it was self-defense and an accident. I‘m just glad that you’re alright.

Bill: 🥰💞😘

---

With a small smile on his face, Danny goes back to the groupchat.

---

Team Phantom 👻😎

Daniel: you know

Daniel: if I had a nickel for every time I’ve had to fight off an insane clown that attacked me 🤡

Daniel: I’d have two nickels

Daniel: which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice, right? 🤔

Chaos: Damnit Danny, we leave you alone in a new city for a week and you already manage to get into a fight with one of Gotham City’s most infamous rogues

TooFine: actually its been 6 days 10 hours and 17 minutes

TooFine: so not even a full week yet

Chaos: Did you at least get a good few punches in?

Chaos: Danny?

TooFine: @Daniel ???

TooFine: if i had a nickel for every time danny said something concerning and then didnt provide context id be richer than vlad

Daniel: anyway, for completely unrelated reasons, @TooFine I need you to wipe some cams for me 😃

TooFine: danny im not wiping the cams again so no one will have proof of you tripping backward and falling ass-first into a trashcan

Chaos: Speaking of, Tucker do you still have that footage and can you send it to me?

TooFine: already done

Daniel: noo it’s nothing like that this time 😫

Daniel: pleaseeee 🥺🙏🙏

Daniel: I’ll get you an autograph from Tim Drake-Wayne?

TooFine: deal.

Daniel: 🥳🎉

Daniel: ok so the footage from somewhere around 3 am last night

Daniel: around some place named park row??

Daniel: I think it’s called?? 🤔

Daniel: though I’m pretty sure I’ve also heard some people refer to it as crime alley

Daniel: not sure why tho 🤷

TooTine: aye aye captain o7

Chaos: Danny, in an alley getting attacked by the fucking Joker: I wonder why this place is called crime alley

Daniel: stop bullying me 😠

Chaos: No

TooFine: hey danny r u sure thats right? i checked the cams n stuff but theres no available footage from the area n time u described

TooFine: its like someones already wiped it all

Daniel: oh!

Daniel: that’s so sweet of him 😊

Chaos: Wait who is this ‘him’?

TooFine: the joker????

Daniel: oh no not the Joker

Daniel: just some cute guy I met last night

Daniel: he witnessed me killing the Joker 🫣

Daniel: and didn’t call the cops on me afterward 🥰💞

TooFine: def green flag

Chaos: Oh hell yeah, he’s a keeper

Chaos: Wait you killed the Joker?! I thought you just fought him off!

Daniel: it was an accident!! 😭😭

Daniel: he crept up on me and tried to grab me 😓

Daniel: so I got startled and because all I saw was a clown

Daniel: I just kinda punched his face in with my ghost strength… 😰

TooFine: f

Chaos: f

Sharpshooter: Have you gotten rid of the body yet? Did you leave behind DNA at the crime scene? Will I need to start saving up bail money or getting ready to enact the Fenton Break Out plan?

Chaos: Jazz asking the important questions here

Daniel: well, considering the footage was wiped

Daniel: and also the fact that no one’s found him yet

Daniel: I think it’s safe to assume it’s all taken care of

Daniel: that’s honestly really sweet of him though 🥰😊

TooFine: oohhhhh ur mystery boo??

Daniel: yeah, this random guy saw me vibe-checking the Joker

Daniel: and let me go home without any trouble

Daniel: pretty sure he’s the one who wiped the cams 🤔

Daniel: and then today he showed up at my apartment with flowers 🥺

Daniel: they were sweat peas!!!! 🥰🤩

Chaos: Was that to thank you for the murder orrrr?

Sharpshooter: Oh those are your favorite, was that on purpose?

Daniel: well I didn’t tell him

Daniel: so I’m not sure if he knew or if it was a coincidence 🤷

Daniel: but yeah then he took me out to this restaurant called Pete’s for dinner

Daniel: they had some amazing cannoli

Daniel: you should try it sometime if you get the chance

Daniel: and then after dinner he took me to the observatory!!!!!!! 🤩🥰

Sharpshooter: Gotham observatory?

Sharpshooter: Isn’t that the one with the special telescope, I think you mentioned it before

Daniel: yeah, the crystal-powered telescope!! 😍💞✨🤩❤️

Daniel: and at the end, he brought me home

Daniel: and he asked for my number!!!

TooFine: nice dude!

Chaos: The guy really went all-out and planned your dream date hu? So, what’s this mystery hunk’s name?

Daniel: oh I’m not sure, I didn’t ask 🙃🤭

Sharpshooter: Danny…

Daniel: yes?

Sharpshooter: Did you go on a date with a complete stranger who witnessed you commit a murder?

Chaos: How do you not even know his name?

Daniel: two words Jazz: Johnny 13

Daniel: and he’s not a stranger!! 😠

Sharpshooter: But you don’t know his name?

Chaos: We just can’t leave him alone, can we? Less than a week on his own and he already murdered one of Gotham’s most infamous rogues and then completely forgets the concept of Stranger Danger

Daniel: I mean he probably just found it when he tried to do some research on me or something

Daniel: probably got it from the school’s system now that I think of it 🤔

TooFine: dude who the hell is this guy??

Chaos: Who the fuck did you go on a date with?

Daniel: do you really think it was a date? 🥺😳

Daniel: I wasn’t sure

Daniel: cause he mainly took me out for dinner to thank me for the night before

Daniel: but then again

Daniel: he did get me flowers and ask for my number after he brought me back to my apartment 🤔

Daniel: like I wasn’t sure if I was reading the signals right…..

Daniel: but do you think that was a date? 🫣

Sharpshooter: Danny, for the love of the Ancients.

Sharpshooter: Who was it?

Daniel: oh, it was Red Hood 🥰

TooFine: damn dannys got that vigilante rizz

Sharpshooter: Red Hood? The crime lord?!

TooFine: former, actually

Daniel: what he said ^^

Chaos: Danny, you really have a type huh? Vigilantes with a Red theme. Who’s next? Red Robin?

Daniel: stop bullying me

TooFine: never

Chaos: Never

Daniel: on a different note, who changed my name in the chat again?

Sharpshooter: Ellie did.

Chaos: Ellie

TooFine: @TheCoolerDaniel

TheCoolerDaniel: 😎

TheCoolerDaniel: wait i just read back, danny’s dating a crime lord?? :0 👀

ᥫ᭡ 투바투 ── reaction to you baking them cookies!

⌕ . . . pairing. txt x gn!reader genre. fluff ☁️ warnings. mentions of food, swearing (?) wc. 100-200 each

⌕ . . . synopsis. you bake tubatu cookies 🍪

⌕ . . . a/n: my first post on this smelly app i hope it doesn't eat ass 😻 also craving cookies really badly rn

── YEONJUN

we all know yeonjun is a BIG foodie,, he'd fall inlove all over again if you baked and cooked for him 💔

thinks it's so romantic.

you? took time out of your busy day? to buy ingredients? and bake cookies? for HIM??? my lordy lord he's so inlove with you

really doesn't matter how much you bake he'll finish them in an hour 💀 even if they don't taste that great, that doesn't matter. they were made by you, with your hands, your love and affection, he will absolutely eat every last crumb.

bonus points if you decorated them cutely, he'll take 15000 pictures from every angle and send them to everyone he knows. his mom, his dad, the members, his childhood friends, his choreographer, his manager, hitman bang, his teacher from the third grade, EVERYONE will know that you baked cookies for him and how delicious they are

── SOOBIN

he's a bit worried at first

traumatized from his own baking experiences (aswell as the members) he probably expects them to taste like charcoal

very hesitant to take a bite because he's worried he'll get salmonella but it surprisingly doesn't taste as bad as he thought it would???

what witchcraft if this???

suspiciously takes another bite and suddenly the entire batch has been polished

your cookies are his new guilty pleasure 😈

WILL NEVER EVER SHARE THEM WITH THE MEMBERS (even if you tell him to) they're his and his only 💔

will hide them up his ass if he has too, they must never know how good your baking is

── BEOMGYU

suspicious #2

beom is a picky eater.

he loves you, don't get me wrong but you'll have to try extra hard if you want him to even nibble on one of your cookies 💀

would probably pick a crumb off the bottom of the plate and say they're delicious 💀

eventually he does give in because as mentioned before, he's whipped ^_^

takes the smallest nibble tho

he literally can't taste anything cause of how little he ate but he'll call you y/n ramsay

you'll have to shovel one down his esophagus for him to taste it 💀

would probably pretend to throw up

but once he's done teasing you he'll compliment your baking ofc <3

as much as he doesn't want to admit it he's now hooked on your cookies

needs them like he needs air

"if i hypothetically asked you to bake your gross cookies again would you hypothetically bake them for me 👉👈"

── TAEHYUN

"🤨🤨🤨🤨"

he prides himself on the fact that he can cook a decent meal and the others can't, so if you were able to do any better than him it'd bruise his ego 💔

he's not gonna throw your tin of cookies on the floor and call them disgusting ofc he'd just feel a little bit threatened 🤨

would probably say shit like "tell your mom her cookies are delicious"

if you call him out on it he'll start getting whiny and defensive 💀

although he'll admit defeat eventually and ask you to bake them again

stingy #2 the members must never know.

will hide your tin in his underwear draw or something maniacal like that

although yeonjun will probably be doing laundry or something and find them 😭

and when yeonjun asks him about it he'll come up with the lamest excuse too please

"who put cookies in the sewing kit?" 😟

── HUENINGKAI

does a backflip the second they touch his lips

you know that Talk X Today episode where soobin baked tarts and kai tasted one and started doing roly polys on the couch?

that's him.

bro levels up when he takes a whiff of your baking

unlike the rest of his greedy members he'll encourage them to try your baking and give feedback (although if it's negative feedback he'll rub onions on their pillows (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

will ask to bake them with you next time and to teach him the recipe so he can bake them for you some time as well

he'll get flour up his nose and sneeze white for the next few weeks but he has good intentions !!

will brag about it to his family and friends

"you're just mad y/n doesn't bake YOU cookies leah 🤨"

@vivgst new thread <3 (I have the cut so it won't be a pain to scroll lol)

I've never watched Death Note, but I guess Ill just say L is my favorite since we share a name (technically) Honestly? my answer is simple w/ what animal Id be Almost ANY cat (not the flatfaced or folded ear ones though they can have some bad health issues :( ) Like if you're a domestic cat, you have the stuff to survive both in the wild, or in someone's house. You have super scenes of smell, night vision, claws, sharp teeth, AND probably enough smarts to not get eaten by dogs or smth. On the other hand with humans, at least 70% of the population would adore you, and maybe even take you in to pamper you. It would be very easy to get them to do your bidding since you'd be just some animal, and perhaps put above your caretaker's needs. Pets? Affection? Just act all adorable and stuff and they'll give it to you, cling on to them and they'll say they're your human now. On the other hand (or paw) there's the wild cats!! Still very cute. Still very cool. Now your defenses are upped by a ton, and people still find you cute. Though with how shitty environmental conditions are, and with the bigger cats slowly going to extinction :( , I may or may not just stick to domestic cats But hypothetically.. It would be neat to be either a snow leopard, tiger, or a jaguar. I love snow leopards for their big fluffy tails, and it would be cool to be able to roam through snow and stuff, but that seems to get a little boring from time to time. Love tigers for their stripes, I don't think they can roar..?? But that doesn't change anything. Think Tigers and Jaguars are both pretty efficient in survival, but I'd pick Jaguar just for their athletics and HUGE bite force (least from my 1st search). Or maybe, maybe not because there's an outfit/skin or two of Valeria's that are based on jaguars.. (or leopards, but ill go w/ jaguars) im obsessed w/ this woman man hdwhadwjadawnk OH ALSO ON THE TOPIC OF BIRDS??? AS FUN AS IT WOULD BE TO BE A MALE BIRD AND SHAKE YOUR COLORFUL BUM AROUND, THERE WAS A WHOLE ASS WAR W/ EMUS AND AUSTRALIA Honestly who wouldn't wanna be a relative of a dinosaur, but smaller and just as fucking scary Also for vacation.... I don't like going on vacation. I just like being in my sad little room, on the internet or drawing my ass off But, Id love to visit Japan and see their Ghibli Studio museum, it's so cool... Or even just go to a few hotels or smth here and there, I love their stellar technology, I love how everything is so cute or neat there, oh and I especially LOVE the social rules there, I'm a goody-two-shoes at heart and perfectly agree with being "nice"... Like yeah sure I may not like you or the opposite, but at least we can co-exist without biting our heads off (unlike the fucking us) and japan seems open to their culture being explored by others, so I'd totally love to (respectfully) participate in some traditions here and there OR I could visit Europe. Like not even a specific country? Just Europe. Cuz the US is like really fucking big, and a country like France is apparently as big as Texas. And it would be cool to take a week trip just exploring cultures and stuff (well everything except food, I'm a terrible picky eater ugh) Vacation in the US scares me tho, I'm fine where I'm at rn Maybe id be a little open to going to canada.. but bc of how they're treating the Palestine genoside rn maybe like later in life if they redeem themselves, but like the us? Fuck them too I think crocodiles r cute, but I wouldn't wanna go near one :3 Most of my relatives are either in the Philippines or Maryland, I barely know abt them now Never thought I'd be the one to be the gay cousin, ngl

imagine if writers gave a single fuck about wyll tho. man, there is so much potential. like i think he has THE most interesting and potentially complex setup out of all characters.

like, he's a son of a duke and a legend, a national hero. he was raised on these legends, in a culture of hero worship, and on "principles of valor" that he says his father taught him. of course he grew up wanting to be a hero. no, not just wanting, EXPECTING it. he jumped into water on his birthday bc he thought he saw a mermaid. he saw himself as the Main Character of a story, probably not even as much in a hubris way, but in a "this is very minimum i HAVE to be to live up to my distant father's legacy". but also OF COURSE he's also deep down scared he that isn't good enough to live up to this legacy. he knows he's not perfect. what if he won't be strong enough? he learns to show this bravado of a golden child, of obvious hero in the making, masking his insecurities.

and then he receives a dream and literal hero's call to action. of course he listens. this is just like the stories. btw i have to admit i disagree completely with game's framing of his decision as actually the only way to save the city. he was left in charge of the entire military forces! He could have just. NOT go alone, and a squadron of flaming fists would have steamrolled these like 20 cultists. imagine if you heard that head of military of your country received anonymous call and actually went alone to the meeting. it's a very bad tactical decision.

this is not an attack on wyll, btw, he was a literal child primed to be a hero. this should have been critique of his father, who raised him in this way and then left 17 yo in charge of city's defenses, AND of the entire culture of hero worship. wyll wasn't ready to be a leader who thinks in terms of resources he has, he was not raised for this. he was a kid under the weight of expectations who thought being a hero is THE only correct way and that being a martyr is what a hero should choose. he NEEDED to become a hero, but didn't have enough power, and so when the way to obtain that power was given to them that he could frame as martyring himself, of course he took it. this was not his fault, but its a tragedy bc this was always going to end like this. the deal with the devil is just the most blatant metaphor for making bargains with consciousness bc you think you can do more good with the power and this is the only way, bc you're not strong enough by yourself.

also, in this hypothetical rewrite since duke ravenguard is supposed to be like. an actually good person whos distant, but loving of his child, and not a convenient cardboard cutout, he doesn't throw wyll out. he listens to him. he realizes this tragedy and takes responsibility for his own part in it. he says i'm sorry i failed you, my son. but wyll cannot be an heir anymore, not under the infernal thumb. he's removed from his position. and he can't take it! first of all, he can't agree with his father that he made a wrong choice as a leader. he sacrificed himself! thats what heroes do! and his father didn't fail, this is all mizora's fault! and now he has to endure the humiliation of nobles gossiping and snickering, speculating what the golden child did that was so bad for his father to remove him from flaming fists leadership? it's unbearable. so he runs away by himself.

he constructs this persona of Blade of the Frontiers, this folksy hero, hides his infernal contract. He believes he was right and he believes this is part of a story. He will become famous as his own hero, not under his father's shadow, and he will find a way to break contract, and then he will return to his home, triumphant, and his father will realize he was wrong and be finally proud of wyll. All of misery, fear, loneliness, humiliation, anxiety, terrible shit mizora inflicts on him will be worth it as long as Blade of the Frontiers remains a perfect image, and so he hides all of this. He dissociates. He is literally processing his life in terms of the Blade of the Frontiers' narrative, first thing he thinks is how he will frame\describe things for his books.

and then mizora turns him into a devil. this throws him into crisis, bc his perfect image of Blade of the Frontiers is threatened, he can't spin it into existing narrative, everything he went through will be for nothing!

when mizora offers him a second deal, one of the clauses is turning back to human. he can go back. he can be a perfect hero, Blade of the Frontiers once again, and no one will know his shame, and he will save his father and his father will be proud of him, and he can feel pained pride at being a martyr, at giving a sacrifice once again AND validated that his choice was right. he keeps playing a vigilante, larping as princess bride's westley and writing books about the manicured, idolized version of himself, while behind the scenes sliding more and more into corruption, making deals with consciousness that its fine to do things mizora asks, which keep getting worse and worse, little by little, because heroic deeds he'll do with gained power will outweigh it.

OR he can go through painful realization that living like a hero in a story does NOT mean making best choices. that he was not ready to be in charge of the city years ago. that whats important is achieving the goal, not being a saviour, and that he can ask others for help. he had flaming fists before. he has a party of manchkins who steamrolled several god's chosen now. he might not be powerful enough by himself, but he has resources. he doesn't need to sacrifice himself for that strength. he refuses the deal and saves his father by himself, still looking like a devil. the perfect image of a folksy hero is no longer salvageable, but he doesn't need it anymore. he learns to live with the consequences and stop hiding his scars, and he steps back to his place as the duke's heir, not just a hero, but as a leader first.

I said i would block them because after years of them hinting at a romantic relationship if everything turned out to be a lie/a skit/ mkt strategy i would feel lied to and my trust in them would be completly gone. Not saying their personal stuff its any of my business but my feelings and perception of them are my business and i would relocate my interest somewhere else

how would you know it was a lie or a marketing strategy tho. like this hypothetical already makes no sense but ok lets pretend it does and go along with the logic.

say next week, after everything they've ever posted after all these years, dan decides to upload a video saying he has a boyfriend who is NOT amazingphil!!! how does that mean all of the past experiences that he has shown us that he's had with phil is suddenly a lie or a marketing ploy? the whole "dnp gay as a business scheme" thing is so stupid cuz they would have Actually played it up if that were the case. yeah whatever the tatinof fanfic section is playing it up, but in their regular degular videos for years they would try so very hard to no homo. even once they were done with ACTUALLy saying they werent gay and dan wasnt as publicly defensive online, it was still friends and thats it, no hinting at anything more, the most Teasing we would get are innuendos and feeding each other lmao. and dont get it twisted. they did that on purpose to tease us, but it was never any sort of """"bait"""" or trying to make us believe in phan or some shit it's just them having fun with us as an audience. it's so insulting to think that dnp would be that manipulative to their audience, that in this unrealistic hypothetical scenario in which they announce that theyre seeing different people that would mean everything that we have seen of them is suddenly a lie.

#why does seeing another person = everything about their relationship is a lie #no offense you literally sound like that guy who said dnp not announcing that theyre fucking is setting back the queer community #and im not saying you have to still enjoy their content in this stupid fake unreal never going to happen situation #but its just so. insidious to even think that they are those kind of people #like i dont care if its parasocial bc for me its what my gut is telling me and my gut is saying deep down they are good people #so idk man i feel like. you need to rethink why you enjoy dnp im being so serious about that #like if it really is just because you see them as in a relationship then sure but like. is that seriously all you like abt them???

explanation post

ok so heres some of the ideas i had for ggau...this is just the first post im probably gonna make like this bc i had to cut myself short here....even after simplifying the phrasing of my ideas for this post but...yep...😔

back then(a couple hundred or so years before the actual rt games wouldve taken place????) humans born in the pmd world were probably a slightly more common thing? but. still pretty uncommon? and their numbers were dwindling too...

as a vulpix, ninetales grew up in mt blaze, but decided to leave there with the human friend she had at the time....

said human friend was just manipulating him tho and was just trying to get one of her tails. vulpix ran away and ended up alone in the cold....he lasted longer than most non fire types wouldve in that cold climate but...

on the verge of death, they started to become a spirit. when articuno found and saved them. after articuno brought him to mt freeze, vulpix decided to stay there. she developed her spirit abilities with help from other spirits....

i think that gengar showed some semblance of being a decent human being when he and gardevoir first met as a young human and a ralts?(like. he unintentionally helped her one(1) time when they first met...he probably wouldnt admit to helping her intentionally tho) this was probably part of why she has so much faith in him fsr??

before getting cursed gengar and gardevoir had a genuinely close sibling type relationship? they would both kind of talk? about "world domination" and shit together. gengar was more of a bully than her but she also wasnt That Nice either. and she was very defensive of her weak human brother/friend...like she would kick ass for him

after getting cursed. i think gardevoir doesnt like being left behind...like especially after reuniting with gengar? she wont admit that she has her own problems bc of this situation tho...gengar also doesnt like to admit that he has issues either so....

anwyays since gengar feels...pretty guilty for what happened to gardevoir. he'll like try to not be a complete asshole liar jerk when shes in the room but if she hypothetically left the room. he would probably be an even bigger asshole for a min. would have to take advantage of this window.

ok this is getting. long. so im gonna save the rest for later...

#g&g au #pmd #pokemon mystery dungeon #typing them out im. not sure how good these ideas are anymore but...i want to get them out of my head and just....#yeah....#feel free to send questions about this ig? like if theres anything you want me to expand on or something?

Regulatory Relations, chapter 3: the secret keeper

Wahoo! Now that Bones knows, the fun stuff can begin.

Also posted on AO3 here.

☆☆☆

Halfway through his shift, Kirk messaged Bones on his padd.

>JTK: Drinks tonight?

>TheRealMcCoy: Sure

>TheRealMcCoy: Any special occasion?

>JTK: Drinking?

That was not entirely true. But if he started to explain himself now, he would have to type a novel’s worth of context and attach all his planning notes, and Bones would still come up from Medbay to yell at him and probably Spock too. It would just be easier to tell him in the comfort of his office where maybe, if he was lucky, Bones would laugh at the prospect of Kirk committing to anything but the Enterprise and then toast to a long union.

☆☆☆

Bones yelled, “Are you out of goddamn mind?”

“Thanks for the support,” Kirk said. He swirled his bourbon around in his glass, steadfastly refusing to meet Bones’s eyes. The doctor sat across his office from him, feet no longer kicked up on his desk but planted firmly on the ground, apparently so that he could shout at Kirk from a steadier foundation.

“Tell me you’re joking.”

“It’s not a joke,” Kirk said. He took a pull from his drink. “I just really, really did not want him to leave.” His throat burned.

“You’re so committed to keeping him on the Enterprise that you’re going to legally tie yourself to him? The green machine?”

“Watch yourself, Bones,” Kirk muttered softly, but Bones steered away from straying any deeper into xenophobic territory for once and said, “I can’t believe you, Jimmy. You’ve had a lot of stupid ideas in the past, but this one really takes the cake.”

“What’s the problem?”

“What’s the problem? Jim, first of all, you are the most emotional person I know and he is a Vulcan. Second, you are the touchiest person I know and he is a Vulcan. Third, what about the future? Say you marry him to keep him on the ship and then, ten years from now, you meet some nice gal on a starbase and want to marry her instead and you have to choose between divorcing Spock and seeing him reassigned immediately or asking her to accept that you can’t legally marry her!”

“Your first two points are irrelevant because this is a strategic marriage. Emphasis on strategic. We’re not doing this so he can fulfill my human needs. Also, he already agreed to physical contact.”

Bones squawked, “He what?” but Kirk continued, “And I’ve met plenty of nice gals on starbases and guess what? None of them want to marry someone who comes home once every five years to get new clothes and then leaves, and I’ve never wanted to marry them either.”

“But you want to marry Spock?”

“If it means he stays, then yeah, I do.”

Bones sighed and leaned back in his chair again to prop his feet on his desk. He lifted the glass to his lips and swallowed before saying, “Would you have done it for anyone else?”

“I would do it for you.”

“Yeah, yeah. Someone who isn’t your oldest friend. Would you have done it for Uhura? Or Sulu?”

Kirk chewed the inside of his lip as his cheeks reddened. “They’re not getting transferred out.”

“In a hypothetical world, then.”

“Maybe not,” he said defensively. “But they would do great on their own ships, and it’s something they want someday. Spock doesn’t want a command and he didn’t want to leave the Enterprise. I couldn’t let April just yank him from the only place he considers home just because what’s-his-face retired.”

Bones considered him over the desk before digging beneath it. He pulled up the bourbon bottle and Kirk held his glass out for him to refill it before he added another finger to his own and stashed the bottle away again. For a few minutes they sat in silence, Bones studying Kirk, Kirk studying the patterns in the replicated wood paneling of Bones’s desk.

“What do I know about getting married?” Bones said. “Clearly it didn’t work out for me.”

“Aw, that wasn’t your fault,” Kirk said, even though it partially was.

“Shut it, kid. Marriage is complicated. It changes things, even though you think it won’t. It’ll change things for you and Spock too.”

“Come on, now,” Kirk said, and spread his arms in what he hoped was the picture of innocence.

“You come on. So Spock’s going to let you touch him now. You’re going to move into his quarters, or him into yours. You’ll spend more time together, if that’s even possible. And your brains are cut from the same ridiculous cloth. We could all tell, even when he still wanted to punt you off the bridge. What happens when you get too close and you want something from him that he can’t give you, Jimmy?”

“That’s not going to happen,” Kirk said. “It’s not like that for us.”

Bones eyed him but took a sip. “Okay. Whatever you say.”

Kirk nodded and took a drink. After another minute of silence he said, “I know that this isn’t… the ideal situation. But I also think there are worse reasons to get married. Maybe just wanting to be around someone for a long time is a good enough reason.” He raised his eyes to Bones’s. “And he seems to feel the same way.”

Bones lifted his glass and sighed. “May we all be so lucky.”

☆☆☆

Kirk dropped facedown into his own bed an hour later, exhausted from the day and from the unfortunate but expected and fairly deserved verbal sparring match with Bones. It had gone better than he had imagined, though, and now at least there was one person he could talk about it with. He was ready to pass out for the night.

His padd dinged next to his face on the mattress.

>NUhura: Congrats, captain :-)

>JTK: Talked to Spock, did you?

>NUhura: I did!

>NUhura: Many happy returns

>JTK: Thanks. Glad he told you

>NUhura: Me too

>NUhura: You better be a good husband to him

>NUhura: He’s a catch

>JTK: Yes ma’am

He set an alarm, killed the lights, and then sleep swept him away.

Kirk dreamed. It was dark, at first, before a pale and flickering light began to emanate from some distant horizon. Emaciated bodies crawled from the dark corners of the world, reaching for him, tearing through his skin with skeletal fingers. He was a child again, running through the barren wood, tears streaming down his face as he fled from the hideout. He could hear the other children, wanted to warn them, but his throat didn’t work anymore. Pale fire leapt from tree to tree overhead, and the flames sucked the oxygen from his lungs. His skin sloughed off him, his bones breaking under the weight of it, and he screamed and screamed and screamed and

Kirk woke up. He was twisted in his sheets, damp with sweat and sticking to the fabric. He pulled himself free with his heart in his throat, his pulse still pounding in his ears. His skin was firmly attached to him, and he was unburned, and he could feel the comforting shape of his own body as he moved, but it was only when he ordered the lights to 10% and took in the sight of his room on the Enterprise that his heart started to slow.

He was on his ship, and he was safe. But he built a barrier of pillows and slept between it and the wall, just in case.

By the time Kirk woke up again to the sound of his alarm, he had forgotten the nightmare entirely.

this month in i cant believe how fucking bad this thing i used to enjoy got so i salt about it in my enrichment enclosure for catharsis

as far as hild is aware all ivar did was protect his leader from being fucking murdered, and yet she still wants to kill him, because he's an Enemy Of Peace. we can guess why yukimura isn't making her try to murder the actual perpetrator, even though he changed shit around so a native american was the one initiating conflict -- because showing a white invader murdering a native american looks pretty bad, and he's done so much work to make sure the colonizers are presented in the best possible light, this would flush all that down the toilet. EVEN THOUGH THATS LITERALLY WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SOURCE HES MANGLING. a norseman murders a native american and there's no possible way to justify it as defense, they weren't defending against a random attack but lashing out at a defenseless innocent because their presence in a land that didn't want them was making them paranoid. but we gotta stack things in the colonizers favor so thorfinn speaking Wisely about compromise seems reasonable and not horrifying in context.

this fucking sucks in so many ways -- why is it hild, the person who chased thorfinn across the world for years to make sure he never murdered again, who is the one to instantly jump into solving this with murder despite the fact that there IS NO WAR RIGHT NOW. if vs is trying to make some point about the corrosive nature of violence hild is a poor choice considering she just had her big moment of forgiving the psycho who slaughtered her family a few chapters ago and none of this has been seeded in her personality at all. being open to negotiation in her opening scene is proof she didn't really have the will to murder, and after being 'talked down' she made it a very specific point not to kill the person who wronged her unless he proved through ACTION that he couldn't be trusted to leave innocent people alone -- but she's going to now murder someone for 1. defending thorfinn even tho she doesn't think thorfinn needed it 2. being sus. THATS IT!!! he didn't even kill the guy who attacked thorfinn, just cut off his hand

FOLD A BIT WHERE??? all they have been doing since you assholes showed up is accommodate you!!! what ground do they even have left to give you fucking plague of a human?? standing in land you mutilated talking about how the people you elbowed aside to fuck with it are going to have to give you even more????? fUCK this guy, and fuck every single descendant of colonizers making excuses for this abysmal fucking story. all pacifism really does in this shitass manga is make our selfish shithead protag feel better about his many atrocities and remove the capacity for people to deny him things that he wants by infusing that desire with moral authority. it serves no other function.

lmao einar stops being a satellite mouthpiece for 2 seconds and thats enough to record scratch so we can really marinate in how Disappointed thorfinn is to be questioned about his wise pronouncements >:[ i thought u were better than this einar. thinking about hypotheticals is Ebil.

'force'. 'have to'. that this repulsive asshole thinks he has any ground to FORCE these people into a compromise that allows him to consolidate his gains is indication there is a void where his sense of morality should be. it doesn't matter how hard the author puts his thumb on the scales trying to make him look like a paragon, how many wise speeches he stuffs in thorfinn's mouth about how violents is bad, he cant hide the reeking entitlement inherent to colonization.

i cant even console myself that the native americans are going to drive these greedy assholes out and tell stories for hundreds of years about how strangers from the sea are not to be trusted like what happened in real life, because the author has been complaining on twitter about how he doesn't want to end things on a 'depressing note' as he's afraid his fans will be mad at him for finally showing real unflattering history. he wants to change everything into a happily ever after ending, is it because after years of plying them with the good colonist fantasy he doesn't think any of them are equipped to deal with the truth? one wonders. i mean why else would he think they would be mad at him? and i know i've been complaining about since it started -- that this kind of writing isn't harmless. i want to him to course correct but he doesn't even seem to notice the problem in what he's writing, and i'm not convinced he'd care if anyone made him aware of how offensive this is. i'm being obnoxious and i can't stop myself, its just -- history matters, THIS history matters, what really happened is important to understand, and it could have been a good story too

in your opinion, what should an anarchist and post-carceral society do about dyed-in-the-wool wrongdoers who *will* make the active choice to hurt people *deliberately* regardless of the societal conditions or measures taken to prevent harm?

(i'm not meaning to sealion here, i am just genuinely thinking about this question myself)

not really sure what you’re counting under “measures”—for example, taking a measure such as “killing them” would, obviously, ensure they stop hurting people. other things like (hypothetically) “isolating them w/no resources & no way out” would, also, drastically reduce to likelihood of them hurting people—no matter how much they want to & are willing to, if they don’t have the physical means, they can’t

though, I’m not in favor of things like imprisonment, bc to be able to lock up & hold someone like that already means you have some degree of disproportionate power and other things built and set up in place, and also it would be way overkill causing vastly more harm than needed which is bad

I struggle to imagine a world without any more prisons, bc I’ve never lived in one & our entire lives are saturated w/prison culture, tho there are some pre-carceral societies you could study; & personally tho I find it easier to think abt these things thru “what can I do right now,” bc it’s already a similar issue—trying to stop harm (a lot of harm happens in my life even rn), but w/o carceral apparatuses (also knowing that those can’t really help us with anything and are the harm, in similar ways)—and really anything we would do once we get to something that could be called a “post-prison” point is already what we’re doing now—or trying to do, tho the carceral state tries to prevent those things

& a key point abt that is that “harm” (esp in the form of abusive relationships) tends to not really follow a “community is in a position to stop it while it’s happening” in the first place, bc of how the entire society has a culture of silence built into it, & how tons of factors go into making these situations hard to escape or resist. & also how communities tend to suck at handling abusers even after they find out (lots of victim-blaming, not understanding how this stuff works, not understanding the risk etc). so w/, like, close interpersonal violence I’m very focused on improving the ability for victims to use self-defense, to escape, to cut contact w/abusers & decreasing the consequences for that, & helping us retake control of our narratives and decreasing tolerance for abuse & abuse apologia in general

there are also people, for example, I might come across near spaces I orbit rn & who are obviously not safe to be around (determined bigots, harassers, abuse supporters, etc) and a lot of the time I’m not in a position to do anything about that directly, but I try to spread knowledge abt right-to-not-interact-with-people-you-dont-want-to (for example), and awareness of how bigots & abusers/supporters use platforms and positions of power to enact harm, and making it easier for ppl to fuck off from them if they’re being toxic (think antifascist tactics, but including how they're applied on a smaller scale—focusing on preventing fascists from building power, denying fascism a platform from which to promote itself, interrupting the problem in its tracks before it can escalate to assaults or state takeovers)

every situation of harm/victimization is different, every manipulative/exploitative/abusive person is different, the treatment each gets from surrounding communities is different—but in general (if these things can even be said to be generalizable) whatever they are using to be able to cause the harm, whatever’s preventing ppl from doing effective self-protection, etc etc take care of that (& no one size fits all ofc but if it’s, like, a person who targets ppl in certain types of communities for attacks then a great first step would be removing them from their projects and disassociating from them and informing other at risk communities abt them)

i hope it’s fine to join in on the conversation since this topic is something i’ve been brewing over for a long time. ultimately, while i agree there are wonderful things to be experienced in life — certainly there have been moments where even i thought how lucky i am to be in that moment! — that doesn’t mean it’s worth the gamble. when you have a kid, you have NO idea what their life is going to be like, you’re just thrusting them into it. and i wish love were enough, but love can’t protect a person from life. kids whose parents love them still get cancer. people who were loved as kids and had great childhoods can still lose it all in adulthood or fall victim to heinous crimes. love can’t even cure depression (or any mental illness). i don’t think people who have kids have any ill intentions. i think they’re at worst ignorant (ie they don’t think about what they’re doing at all) and at best idealistic (ie they believe their love for their kids - which is a wonderful thing in itself, of course! - will ensure their kids have a good life). my prerogative is that i just can’t in good conscience make that gamble for someone else. sure, it might be sunshine and rainbows. it might be absolute hell though. or it might not be anything especially tragic, just one of Those Lives, you know. and i kinda like living now, honestly. i got pretty lucky with my partner and am able to work in a creative field. that means nothing to my hypothetical kid though! if they’re born, there’s a capacity for happiness, yes, but there’s also *endless* capacity for suffering. happiness has a limit - suffering really does not. if they’re not born, they can’t experience joy, true, but they also absolutely can’t suffer. and that seems like a fine deal to me. and also, i feel like a lot of parents get defensive about this because a world without their kids is unthinkable, so they feel, idk, that they would’ve robbed their kids of something had they not had them? i don’t know, but nobody’s sad about not being born. like, i didn’t care before i was born. experience is only possible to the existing and living, your hypothetical unborn kids can’t experience sadness over not getting to feel sunlight on their skin. but once they’re born, they can experience so much pain. they might not, but they could, and that, to me, is the whole point — not having kids is the safest way to ensure no further suffering. (also the state of the world isn’t promising and looking at any meaningful statistics is fucking horrifying so i don’t even think it’s an even gamble i think it’s like. playing russian roulette with five bullets. but that’s my personal pessimism tho)

omg you seriously put my own thoughts on this subject into words so perfectly it's a little insane. im worried that you actually live inside my brain and are controlling it lmfao like yes exactlyyyyy. this is the nuance that encapsulates it all for me and my own personal approach to parenthood as well. it's about the gamble in my eyes, too. you can take a massive risk and bring life into this world in good faith - but that's not going to mean shit to the traumatised adult you might get at the end of it, for whatever reason. and there are an endless list of reasons. it's like, a high probability even. it's great if people can live their lives on the premise of optimism but in my eyes i don't think the beauty of life negates the harm of it either. at all. like, be real. you could say for every bad thing that happens a good thing happens - but which generally lingers the longest, effects you the most; happiness or pain? which takes years to overcome, which feels permanent and substantial? it's so clear to me that playing god with a human being's life is a decision with massive stakes, with often unforeseen consequences. like you said, anything could happen but toil is guaranteed. it's hard work for both the kid and the adult.

i think parents are sometimes so flippant about the inevitability of suffering, and it's weird to me to just shrug that aspect of living off just because you did your best with your child or because there's been fun times, too. like you said, nobody grieves not being born, nobody feels cheated out of an existence they're not even aware of. we don't owe the world reproduction. it's all just common sense, honestly. to me the possibility of my kid having a consistently difficult existence (which like you said is not unlikely if you've ever uhh watched the news or read a single statistic regarding quality of life) is enough to turn me off the idea. the future's not exactly sparkling is it. people are so quick to label childfree people selfish but i think making that choice is the exact opposite in a lot of cases, though ofc there's nothing wrong with wanting your life to be your own anyway. ultimately when i'm questioned on this i just think to myself - sorry i understand the immense weight of a human life and of human pain i guess. sorry the game isn't worth it to me the way it is to you. you know?

aew dynamite 9/21/22 liveblog containment zone

not doin a full liveblog play by play cuz im startin to write this like 1.5 hours in but ya know. also its after-the-fact subjective-opinion-review style

jericho vs claudio:

we started like 30-40 minutes late and my friends and i decided we didn't reeealllly need to watch it... theres not really anything for us to grab hold on here... if something truly insane and radical happens we could always just go back and check it out. i will say that there was a cool counter-move jericho did when claudio tried to do some jump-off-the-corner with him. as i was saying "so long as jericho doesn't win this" i clicked ahead right to jericho doing a low blow and winning it lmaoooo. daniel garcia looking so fucking miserable made up for it tho. he wishes jericho wasnt winning sooooo bad. same

swerve in our glory vs the acclaimed:

i wasnt super excited for this match because i knew it couldnt live up to the ppv one (which, yes, is a completely unfair conclusion to have, but more reasonable than expecting them to put out 2 insane banger matches in a row). i think all the hubbub of how aew should've changed their plans last minute and have the acclaimed to win at the ppv is weird and lame, and i don't like that it feels like this rematch feels like theyre kowtowing to that sentiment as a result. there could have been more interesting narratives there maybe!!! whatever, im not going to get mad about hypothetical better setups. the point is, i dont like the idea of an immediate rematch for a perceived course correction. i did i believe that if they were gonna give the acclaimed the tag belts theyd do it at grand slam because its in their home turf of new york and that makes sense. but the sheer scale of the hubbub makes it hard for me to stick to that >:/ its not like i even seek out annoying internet opinions on wrestling!! i actively avoid it!!!!!!! and yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANYWAY... the actual match was cool and fine. cant get any more specific on how or why cuz my standards are still uncalibrated from their ppv match. that was soooo good. im an acclaimed fan so im glad they got the tag belts!! my favorite thing about this is that now i am guaranteed "more acclaimed matches" because they gotta do title defenses. i hope best friends dont fight them for a while so i can fool myself into believing they could win it off them. pwease mr khan throw me, specifically, a goddamn bone. if the two of them fight on the first defense i'll look like this:

;_;

backstage promo bit with ftr (and the gunn club):

the gunn club are heelin' it up and being obnoxious. i dont really follow ftr so i dunno what theyre up to at any given moment. if anything, this segment informs me that theyre gonna do gunn club vs ftr right away. my friends are absolutely pining for an acclaimed vs gunn club match just for the gunn club -> the firm -> mjf connection. utterly waiting for that max vs max encounter

yuta (and mjf) promo bit:

glad to see mjf on tv again. hes good at what he does!!! however i feel bad for yuta because micwork has neeeever been yuta's strong point and having him go up against mjf in a verbal back and forth is... a little bit cruel LMAO. on the flipside i do think its cool theyre having yuta and mjf here like this though. yuta is a big deal now! he never wouldve had a segment with mjf like this before! good for him. i do feel bad about him being put in a fight you can't win tho lol. good on him for beating up mjf in the end.

pac vs orange cassidy:

pac vs orange cassidy at... revolution? 2020? ruled, its one of my favorites. this match... was ok. also unfair to compare a ppv to a regular tv ep but still. it was weirdly slow in the middle. i didn't figure that orange would win the gold-- at least not the all-atlantic title. hes not really an international sort of guy, i dont think? there were good bits in it tho, i like orange's cheeky smile when pac stopped himself from going in the ring and later on orange's bit waiting for pac to jump off the corner. lmao he kept on pointing at his fist or his legs like hey come on. fall for my obvious trick please. :)c despite that though i felt the aloof:serious ratio was different in this match and i wonder if it was a one-off thing or something hes gonna do more going forward. much 2 look out for another thing i liked was afterwards bryce being like what the hell and pac being like ah yeah i got him with my elbow and then bryce picks up orange's limp arm and was like is that so????? look at him. hes fucking dead

toni storm vs athena vs britt baker vs serena deeb:

did i miss something. why are they having another 4 way womens match for the belt. i can't even enjoy this because britt baker is here and i live in fear of britt baker womans champ every day. i'd HOPE they wouldnt do toni storm dirty like that but i never know with the women's division!!! we caught up to the live feed by skipping the beginning of the match and i started writing this post because i was getting unnecessarily stressed out by The Fear. the submission hold back and forth trade with toni storm and serena deeb was cool though, bits like that def justify the tension of the four way free for all. i also liked athena's godmode look. white contacts are just too cool! i dont know saraya because i dont follow wwe(?) but she got a real big pop. im always excited for good gets for the women's division, especially since like... half of the whole division is out on injury (statlander...!!! 😭) WAIT I FORGOT MY AUDIBLE "UGHHH" AT THE HAYTER THING THAT IS AN IMPORTANT THING TO ADD. AUGHHH!!

moxley vs danielson for the aew world title:

mjf being highlighted in the background and watching the match from afar was funny. then they kept on cutting the camera to him? and it quickly became not funny. seriously, i was sick of it like by the third time and they did it like FIFTEEN times. i was holding out for it to build up to some sort of bit or scheme at the end but uh it didnt so my interim groan solidified into an actual groan. anyway all the mjf mugging distracted me from the match and i didnt see anything particularly standout about it i dont think? im kinda ehhh on the world title scene right now because i think theyre still in damage control mode post-punk so (shrug) ehh. im just waiting for this current angle to develop. whats that wacky mjf dude gonna end up doing

#livezon #this took too long to type out. i hate being verbose #hashtag never again maybe. ok time to catch up on the rest of my dashboard

I’ve had this idea for a vs question for at most a minute as I’m writing this sentence, but I don’t care: I’m asking it.

An army of 12500 Elemental Commanders vs the Inter Galactic Defense Force of canon (excluding anyone above Super Taro’s level): what would an all-out war between these two groups look like?

Anyway, for some background, the Elemental Commanders are a specific type of Q56 Ultras, a race of Ultras from the “Elemental War Universe” in my fanfics. For comparison, the Commanders are basically what the Mutants from Marvel’s X-Men are to humans: the result of a genetic mutation.

Anyway, I’ve sent you a doc with links to a few other docs for this one: you’ll need… at the very least, most of them.

I say most of them because one of those docs is a list of Elements that exist in my fanfics, which I figured was necessary because the Elemental Commanders (and Q56 Ultras in general) can have literally any one of those Elemental Powers as their innate power, which affects their powers a fair amount, so I figured understanding those could help. That said, it might also not be necessary, so use that doc as a reference only if you need to, I suppose.

Last thing, in regards to the trivia on another one of those docs, it’s definitely important info, for reasons I’m sure you’ll understand.

Your proposed 1 scs = 2.5 GW conversion would kinda be inconsistent with scaling tho

Recall Ultraman's own Specium Ray has a stated potency of ~0.373 GW

By calculation, this means that Super Taro's version of Specium Ray (which implies he has access to via Ginga Storium) is 1.5 × 10^15 ÷ 10 000 (highball Ultraman, cause lowball of 1000 wouldnt help your case) = 10^11 x stronger than the Specium Ray, much less the Cosmo Miracle Ray which is MUCH stronger since its a combination of all the UB's finishers amped to the level of Super Taro AND combined together. So your section where the calculation of the Cosmo Miracle Ray is only ~150 000x stronger than the Specium Ray is already an incorrect premise, so I'll just ignore this part

Ngl yr question is very difficult to answer since there's still unknown variables on both sides here.

One from your OC, we don't know how most of the stated Elemental powers would have an effect on certain canon ultras, cause we know that Ultras like Taro and Ace can simply absorb certain elements to empower themselves like Ace did with thunder etc. Like can said ultras do the same with Plasma or the hypothetical "Chaos"? Not to mention we dk how physically strong they are compared to canon ultras

On the other hand, I presume you're referring to the entire canon IGDF from the LoL, which has a stated 1 billion members which we don't know the proportion of the Ultras which are New Gen level, UB or even above are

To sidestep these issues, we can approach this question from another angle, with math:

Cause to put it in perspective, the M78 Ultras we've seen from New Gen to UB level, clearly only represents the lower scales of power of the IGDF force. Assuming Ken is the peak of the IGDF at 10^48 NG, and u stated that u wanna exclude forces at Super Taro or above, means also excluding IGDF members at 10^15 NG (lowball Super Taro to be 10^15 NG for easy math as youll see later) and above

Putting the peaks of the 2 sides in comparison first, consider an IGDF Ultra that is infinitely near the stated limit of Super Taro being at 0.99999...×10^14 vs 1 Elemental commander that is 30x the standard member. With 1 standard member having the base power of 15 000 sps (assuming equal stats whereby listed attack potency scales with the other attributes/no glass cannon assumption), which gives the power of 1 Elemental commander of 450 000 sps or 1 125 000 GW

Considering canon Ultraman's Specium Beam only has a potency of ~0.3 GW, this makes an Elemental commander 3.75 x 10^6 x stronger than Ultraman. Using the proposed IGDF member being at 0.9999....×10^14 NG, compared with Ultraman at 10 000 NG (highball, because lowball wouldnt make a difference in the ending result) gives a power difference of 0.999...10^10 the power difference of the proposed IGDF member and Ultraman

This gives a power difference between the IGDF member and an Elemental commander around the magnitude of 10^8 x. This means that even with your supposed limit, the strongest IGDF member is 10^8 times stronger than an Elemental commander.

Against 12 500 commanders, this means a combined power of 4.7 x 10^10 NG

This gives a power difference between the proposed IGDF member and the entire battalion of ~10 000x. Which means the IGDF member alone is 10 000x stronger than the entire battalion combined

The only way for the battalion to win is to fire a combined finisher or fuse, but this would also allow ultras on the canon side to do so as well and we don't even know how many of the proposed IGDF member the LoL has in canon. Not to mention that facing an Fusion Ultra whose components are already around 0.9999...×10^14 NG is unfathomably scary in and of itself

To put the proposed member in yet another perspective, recall the M78 Power Proportionality Constant of 1000x power growth every 10 000 years, an M78 Ultra with the power level of around 10^14 NG would be around the age of ~50 000 years old (Recall Ken himself is 160 000 years old and the next closest known M78 canon age is Zoffy of 25 000 years old) so even an ultra of this level wouldnt even be near the midway point of the powerscale for M78 Ultras as an M78 Ultra of 80 000 years old would be 10^9 x stronger than the proposed IGDF Ultra

Thanks for the question!

it is week #2 of my school year and if my brain isnt permanently fried from the 3 AP classes im taking (I literally failed my first one bUT IN MY DEFENSE, THERE WERE EXTERNAL FACTORS TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION—), ill make sure it is because

confession time: i may or may not, slightly, possibly, hypothetically, theoretically get into homestuck

LISTEN. When YouTube recommends you a 2021 Davekat Scrawny lyricstuck and you only know a single word from that phrase (I like the song), you'd be curious, too! And, see, I am a moth to a flame when it comes to art (confession time x2: it's why I know more about DSMP lore than I should,,,those SAD-IST animations really do be fire tho) and that lyricstuck HAD SOME REALLY GOOD ART I LIKE THE ART STYLE THE SHADING IS SO CLEAN THE COLOR PALETTE IS COOL PLEASE WATCH IT. And, of course, my curiosity was focused on who these 2 lil funky guys were and their relationship because I'm a sucker for character relationships of all kinds and the comments mentioned AO3 fanfics and I just was SO curious and now im on the 50th page of the dave/karkat tag.

It was really fun figuring out wtf quadrants were through context clues. Also this ship made me less intimidated by 100k/200k/300k/etc. word counts because wow these two specific characters talk a lot and are really into their metaphors. Trying to understand a media's canon through fanfics is so genuinely entertaining i am surprised by literally everything OBAMA??????

My YouTube recommendations really are to blame for this because they also introduced me to some Homestuck flashes and I really like the music. Then, I came to the sudden realization: I would've been OBSESSED with Homestuck when I was younger. Lots of characters? A caste system + a whole bunch of roles (idk the name for it) that will spawn a bunch of Quotev quizzes? Art being a major focus of the media? Lots of text to read through? Younger me would've LOVED that, oh my god. Warrior Cats got to me first (the fandom makes up for the lack of art in the books haha) but you have no idea how insane I would've been if I knew I could've been reading something longer than the Bible FOR FREE. Then again, the comic was still ongoing at that time and I wasn't a fan of things having no ending ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If in 2025 you see homestuck fanart from me, just know that this was an inevitable doom. This post is simply a forewarning.

#littleturtle? more like littlethoughts #I am a bit concerned since I heard there's minigames and such in the webcomic #and i do everything on my phone #the flashes aren't gonna bother me since im sure i can just look all them up on youtube or something #i heard theres a whole voice-acted version of the comic though so maybe ill just switch to that for the unfriendly mobile parts #i need something to distract my brain as i get through this school year #thirty-third post
