It was easy to lure the newest Titan away from the rest, back the boy into a corner. He was the weakest link, the newest hero, the easiest to manipulate-

Then, the ghost child transformed, glowing rings passing over his body to reveal a familiar black-haired boy. "Uncle Slade, what the fuck are you doing?"

#Danny: is this your midlife crisis? Do I need to tell Joey?#dc x dp #dp x dc #dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc prompt #c: danny fenton #c: slade wilson #reluctant murder uncle slade wilson #this time literally!#former alicia walker x slade wilson #Danny had no idea of his uncle slade's job #slade is still in contact with his ex-sister in law because she makes great guns #danny recognized slade's voice #Danny: you didn't even use a voice changer! You're using your first name!#Slade: my villain name is Deathstroke and you're a bunch of teenagers; what was I supposed to do!?#Danny: NOT BE A VILLAIN!

I want a boss like him

#mr villain's day off #kyuujitsu no warumono san #my former boss was unfortunately the completely opposite type #I'm working on weekends and holidays so you can do it too #And she was complaining whenever I wanted time off #She doesn't have time for time off!#Overtime pay? What overtime pay?#You simply have terrible time management skills #If you were better at your job you wouldn't have to work overtime #I sometimes got tempted to ask why she's working 16 hours per day then

the only two ways i can be productive:

procrastinate until the 11th hour then go on a caffeine-fueled speedrun to complete days/weeks of work in like. three hours.

do the work to procrastinate on something else

#the former is about my job #the latter is about writing #im about to procrastinate my nano prep by writing fic #or the other way around it's hard to tell atm #im about to pop a benadryl too so the hatman will be my editor

Well, it finally happened. I cried at work.

#I managed to hold it together until the end of the meeting #and just cry on the way back to my desk in front of my work partner #and not in front of our horrific manager #but she asked me to prepare a specific thing in a specific way for our meeting #I did exactly as she asked #I had my work partner look at it #I also had my former manager look at it #and he’s spearheading that same thing on his own new team #they both said it looked great #I presented it in the meeting #there was a few seconds of dead silence #and then our manager made it very clear that she wanted it done in a very different way #one she’d never asked for #and asked that everyone in the meeting brainstorm over the week #and come back next Tuesday to make a new one together #moving the bar #and making me look incompetent #I’m actively looking for a new job #both inside and outside the company #but swallowing all of this while I look #is going to be the best acting performance of my life #Oscar worthy stuff #cause emotionally I’m all the way done

blessed the latter part

papa iv/copia x reader

You could watch the snow falling outside where you sat in the library. Your table and chair was tucked away, in a corner by a window, hidden by a few catacombs and bookshelves. This was your favorite spot to sit quietly and be away from the hustle and bustle of life in the abbey, and days where you received your favorite visitor here were all the more special.

You weren’t expecting Copia to come find you today, however. His pillow talk the previous night had consisted of a few regrettable changes to plans for the week due to some meetings that were an ugly surprise from Sister Imperator. Copia’s break was ending, you feared what came next for your lover-in-secret. What started as a few flirty texts while he was away on tour as a cardinal turned into an on and off affair that had been on since Copia brought you on the first leg of the Imperatour. You didn’t want to tell anyone at the ministry about it, but the ghouls knew. The ghouls always knew, but aside from them, as far as you knew, it was secret.

He had also asked you to do some research for him, so like a good partner, you set aside a few hours to attempt to answer a few of his questions about the book of Job and his peculiar award. You could still see the adorable roll of his brows and the creases in his eyelids as he asked you why Job would name his daughter Eyeshadow in the candle light.

You were started, then, when you heard some familiar footfalls echo off the marble walls towards you. He stopped a few feet away from you, his shadow elongating across the snowy window, and cleared his throat timidly. It was one of your favorite Copia noises and you smiled warmly at the welcome sight of your lover.

“Your bangs are curly.”

You looked up to find him standing above you, his jacket off and cracked in his arms. His frame was hugged by his waistcoat, and the sight was intoxicating. You motioned for him to sit at the table — he obliged after some coaxing.

“Yeah-“ you cleared your throat and watched as he sat besides you, “I didn’t have time to straighten them this morning.”

Copia leaned over and gently tapped the end of his pen against your temple. When you giggled, he dragged it through the front part of your hair, a short curl springing out and framing your forehead. “They look so beautiful,” he hummed softly, his other hand moving towards the back of your head. You felt his fingertips pad against your scalp, someplace between a message and a scratch, sensational through your still damp roots. You had to fight your eyes from rolling back into your head and a moan slipping out of your lips, and your efforts only half worked.

“Papa…” you whispered, knowing you were the only two in this part of the library but still scared of someone finding you here like this. So scared of your secret romance finally being exposed. So scared of Imperator hearing you call him by his name and banishing you on the spot.

Copia, sensing your apprehension, just smiled at you calmly. He kept his hand behind your head but brought his over around your face, his fingers gently running over the little curlies around your eyes. “I like them like this, a lot. Very sweet, amore.” He leaned forward and placed a soft kiss above the tail of your eyebrow, his lips gently grazing over your bangs in the process. “My sweet love, dolce amore.”

Copia loved to whisper to you in public. Little words of affection and terms of endearment sent out only for you to receive, his love declared for you in the most visible of secret places. You knew you couldn’t keep this up forever, but you enjoyed the idea that you could and enjoyed that you were fooling everyone so terribly.

“I’m glad I get to see you today,” you whispered, subconsciously leaning into the touch you craved, “I thought I wouldn’t until dinner, if I was lucky.”

“Things are going smoother than anticipated,” Copia grinned, his papal paint slightly smudged around his lips from biting or pursing or the quick good-bye you snuck in this morning or the latte you snuck him later in the day, “I think the ghouls wanted to rush, for some reason.” He leaned forward and gently leaned his forehead against yours, “But I think I can guess. They’re very compassionate.”

You giggled at the thought of the ghouls cooperating just to get Copia back home to you, even if it was just for a fifteen minute break. “That’s so sweet.”

“Aurora told me your hair was cute today,” Copia mused, twirling one of your curled bangs around his fingers, “your hair is cute everyday but she was right about this one. I never get to see this.”

You tilted your chin up to meet Copia’s lips in a soft, delicate kiss, careful of the remaining paint around his lips. He hummed appreciatively, satisfaction coursing through his soul.

“I love you,” he whispered before reconnecting with you in another kiss.

“When will I see you next?” You whispered back, your breath fanning across his lips.

“Dinner, probably,” he said with a wistful sigh, “but I had to see you for some motivation. Tu mi dai la forza, angelo.”

“Mmm, that reminds me,” you said, a dopey smile on your face as you swam in his sweet scent and his sweet words, “I need another Italian lesson, Papa.”

“But you just had one last night,” Copia mused, tapping your chin lovingly, “I’m a busy Papa, you know. Can’t spend all my nights teaching you the language of love.”

That was a lie, or a half truth, perhaps — Copia would be a busy Papa because of you. He would be busy with you, devoting all his time to enjoying and loving and treasuring you. Copia didn’t plan to spend another night apart from you. He’d gladly give all of his nights to you, if you’d have them.

“I’m sure you can tweak your schedule to fit me in,” you pouted. Copia took the opportunity to press a kiss full and flush into your lips, papal makeup be damned.

“Then I’ll prepare a lesson,” he said softly as he stood back up.

“Oh, please don’t go,” you said, reaching up to take his hand in yours.

“mi dispiace, amore,” Copia replied as he laid his other hand on your face, cupping it gently. His thumb gently brushed your curly bangs out of your eyes. “I have to get back so we can end today before six.”

You nodded, turning your head to kiss the inside of his wrist, between the end of his glove and the beginning of his sleeve. “I understand but that doesn’t mean I like it.”

Copia laughed softly and nodded, leaning down to give you one last forehead kiss. “I know, I know. Find me some answers, okay? I trust you.” He stroked your face lovingly, his eyes staring down into yours and drinking you in before he gently patted your cheek. “I’ll see you soon, baby.” He said, almost mournfully as he went back to his meeting and he left you with his research, which would be filled with his name in hearts by the latter half of the hour, more than the former part.

How about Jedi using the Force to clean up their room. Looking at all the stuff on the floor/bed/chair, just going 'nah' and levitating all that crap to sort it more easily.

Flicking the light switch with the Force before going to bed because they're too tired to get up.

Stirring a pot of food with the Force because they're busy working on a report or something.

Using the Force to grab something in another room and carefully float it all the way to where they are to save time.

Building stuff like a shed or doing house renovations and just lifting the stone/durasteel/duracrete slabs and beams Jean-and-Erik style.

They have straight up telekinesis and it's SO underutilised. (It's okay btw, they're totally allowed to use the Force for casual stuff, Lucas told me so.) Like, guys! They can move stuff! With their minds! That's one of the most OP comic book super ability and they ALL have it naturally and it has zero of the typical drawbacks. They can just float stuff around! That's the housekeeping DREAM!

#my bedroom is currently a mess if you couldn't tell #jedi order #jedi headcanons #intergalactic therapists #ALSO #no more of that ''former jedi have no job opportunities'' bs #they can FLOAT. THINGS.#they can do construction work they can do housekeeping they can pet sit (animal friendship AND you can grab the sucker midair gently??)#they can do precise factory work they can load and unload huge shipments they can reach stuff on super high shelves #THEY FLOAT STUFF #they're worth a 100 employees each MINIMUM - or a 100 high maintenance droids

I love the five oddballs and I feel like an underrated part of their character is how they comment upon how society treats talented beings and the dangers of placing someone so talented on a pedestal. The isolation the Oddballs felt from others, especially the OG three oddballs, and their arcs relating to humanity is one of the most intriguing aspects of this game’s writing

#enstars #five oddballs #five eccentrics #rei sakuma #kanata shinkai #wataru hibiki #natsume sakasaki #shu itsuki #I think this one the former sdr2 (specifically hajime hinata) part of my brain talking #this also applies to leo during checkmate and how he was viewed only for his composing talent #I feel as though crossroad does an excellent job of touching upon this theme through rei’s relationship with keito #meteor impact too #it is a shame neither of them got animated bc they have such a core theme from the war about the relationship between talent and hard work #and how easy it is to isolate geniuses and feel inferior to them

#My issue with side y discourse generally is when they say you shouldn't use queer lables because your identity in Christ should be first.#like yes it should but if you're also comfortable calling someone straight then you're being a hypocrite #because that is an identical kind of lable #and same with other labels! are you comfortable calling yourself your ethnicity? your age? your gender? your job title?#then you're doing the exact same thing and in none of those cases is it considered that you're not putting your identity in Christ first #if I said I'm british people wouldn't be like ooh you're prioritising being British above God #like I COULD but not by using the label itself #I'm British. I'm female. I'm 21. I'm straight.#vs I'm british. I'm female. I'm 21. I'm bisexual.#I think if people have an issue with the latter but not the former that logic just doesn't follow through #and i know some people are more comfortable saying SSA #which I totally respect #but a. I personally am not because it feels stigmatizing and b. that's still a label in the same way #idk man I just don't get this specific approach.#also I know that's not all side y. but it defo is some of them!!!

introducing the unwilling captain of the Dynamos, former Inspector Second Class Lyfrassir Edda!

The AU where lyfrassir tries to hunt the prison mechs down with their shiny new eldritch powers (and a gun) for ditching them while their system was vored by a crusty imperialist’s eldritch sugar mommy.

Unfortunately, they’re not the only survivor of a Near Mechs Encounter interested in finding the crew of the starship Aurora— not by a long shot.

#lyfrassir #lyfrassir edda #the bifrost incident #the mechanisms #tbi #hey. you. yes you the one reading these tags. it’s me the ps5 inside your brain. come into my ask box and type #‘jester speaketh on the subject of new midgardian hair cartilage.’ i have so many thoughts about midgardian biology and how it interacted #with the bifrost #i also have a full crew roster for the dynamos au #and also to pique your interest further: the reason the crew finds dr. plichard is because lyfrassir starts displaying anemia symptoms #after they sleep with no discernible cause so they put cameras in Lyfs room and find dr. plichard dropping from the ceiling and doing #freestyle blooddrawing before spidering back up into the vents. this is how they discover daedalus is NOT doing his job as engineer because #dr. plichard has set up an entire condo in the vents. daedalus promised that he was done trying to stage a violent mutiny against lyf to #claim the title of captain. clearly he did not pinky promise because that bitch is a LIAR.#anyways. lyfs only captain because 1) no one else wanted the position and 2) no one wanted Former Tyrant Daedalus Of The Hephaestus Fame to #be in power #so unfortunately their options were ‘ex cop frothing at the mouth for immortal blood’ or ‘Hephaestus the Olympian’#anyways. if you’re wondering why the ps5 inside your brain came preloaded with mechanism au opinions and a tumblr blog.#well.#Don’t worry about it :)#come into my ask box. we’ll have pirate fun times in space!#also let me know what you think of this piece. i need to have positive affirmations read out to me by the tiktok voice over lady as asmr.#for my health #anyways oh yeah forgot that one tag #my art

#I want to donate a little bit of money.#not much. I am unemployed and the exchange rate is terrible #but I want to donate a bit to palestine right #the issue is there's so much conflicting reports about whether the aid ever reaches them or not #mersal foundation is running a charity campaign for feminine hygiene and medical products with red crescent palestine #and I want to donate to that #but are they getting the aid. and if it's red crescent I might as well #donate to my own country's red crescent #and if I'm doing THAT I might as well just buy dinner for the president #that's the issue with ME charities. no offense to anyone but if you know you know. and I know #charity tracker doesn't seem to have much info on mersal either #I can also just donate to palestine legal US or palestine action UK #the former is a legal fund for people who lose their jobs and shit to new wave mccarthyism and the other one is #the lads protesting in the UK apparently #but like. I want to donate to palestine #and it's really a small amount too hgjkfgnkds seriously there's no need to go this far for 20 dollaroos #but that's like 1/5ths of my rent right #do you understand #anyway does anyone have any suggestions
