whoo boy we have introspection going on tonight
#<- managed to get bingo on the “what is crow having deep feelings about today” trans. dad. community and links to it. names. family.#its a bingo!#anyway i posted it on my side cause i want to be a be to find it again#but tldr actually my old name is cool and its just the era of my life i associated it with. and its n important link to who i am when i#often struggle with having links to that part of my identity#or in summary of the summary: keeping my legal name and allowing myself to like it is better for me than reconciling with my dad#purely for his link to said community#like im not gonna go by it casually#but its not a bad name#im actualy rlly fond of it#its just slowly touching the healed wound again#careful not to reopen it

I am loudly pushing the batdad agenda i am loudly pushing the— DPxDC Prompt
“Woah. You look like shit."
Granted, that’s probably not the first thing Danny should be saying to the guy that just bit the curb, but in his defense; he’s not running on 100% right now either.
The man -- tall, towering, and broader than Danny is tall -- whips around on his heel, black frayed cape flaring out impressively. Danny would've whistled in appreciation, but he takes the time instead to wipe the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing the blood running from his nose across his cheek.
"Sorry." He blinks widely, not even flinching as the man with the horns zeroes in on him. "That was rude of me. I have a really bad brain-to-mouth filter; Sam says its what always gets me into trouble."
And she's not wrong either, per say. His smart mouth is what landed him in this situation -- with blood blossom extract running through his veins and cannibalizing the ectoplasm in his bloodstream. Thanks Vlad.
The man grunts at him; a short, curt "hm" that shouldn't make Danny smile, but he does because he's somewhat delirious and probably concussed. The man keeps some kind of distance, sinking towards the shadows of Gotham's alleyway like he dares to melt right into it.
If it's supposed to scare Danny, it doesn't work. Danny's never been afraid of the dark; he's always been able to hide himself in it. He blinks slowly at the mass of shadows.
"You look hurt." The shadows says, blurring together around the edges. Danny squints, and licks his lips to get the blood dripping down his chin off. Ugh, he hates the taste of blood.
"I am." He says, "My godfather poisoned me. M'dying." The agony of the blood blossom eating him from the inside out looped back around to numbing a while ago, so all he feels is half-awake and dazed.
"Hey," Danny stumbles forward towards the man, a bloodied hand reaching out to him. "You-- you're a hero, right? You're not attacking me; which is more than I can say for most costumed people I've met." Maybe it's a poor bar to judge someone at, but he's already established that Danny's not in his right mind.
The man makes no change in expression, but Danny realizes blearily that it's hard to tell with the shadows on his face. He stays still long enough for Danny to latch onto the cape -- stretchy, but almost soft under his fingers.
He looks up blearily into the whites of the man's eyes. "Can you help me? I don't-- I don't wanna die." Again. He doesn't wanna die again. He blinks slow and lizard-like. "I mean- I'll probably get to see mom and dad again, but I told them I'd at least try and make it to adulthood."
There's a clatter down the street, and Danny's ghost sense chills up his spine and leaves a bitter, ashy taste in his mouth. He immediately knows who it belongs to even before the deceptively gentle; "Daniel?" echoes down the way.
"Daniel? Quit your games, badger, Gotham is dangerous for children."
Danny's mouth pulls back, and blood spills against his tongue. "Please." He rasps, and grabs onto the shadow's cape with both hands. "Please. He's going to kill me. Please--"
"Daniel? Is that you?"
His lips part, dragging in air to plead with the darkness again. He doesn't need to, the whites of his eyes narrow, and the cape whirls around him before Danny can blink. Soon swaddled in shadows, the Night lifts him up, and steals him away.

heres the limbo fusions with the rest of the vento aureo main protags
Limbo + Mista
Mimbo - any pronouns
"Are u lost bbygrl? :)"
(They give a weird stare if asked for a full name. They only use Mimbo, even though it’s a combination of Limbo’s forename and Mista’s surname.)
most stable Limbo fusion merely by virtue of Mista’s simple ability to just not give a fuck.
GET YOUR GUN OUT OF YOUR CLEAVAGE!
bitch gon step on my fuckin toe bitch with them fuckin cowgirl fuckin boots
VITALLY important that you know that despite being easily mistaken as fem on first glance, Mimbo also has the deepest voice of any Limbo fusion for literally no reason other than it’s funny to me. They also have sideburns
Stand: Mighty Wings - Redirects Signals. Still a colony Stand, looks like tiny little pastel fighter jets!
Limbo + Abbacchio
Lio Adkio - they/them
“Don’t say SHIT about my mascara or my eyeliner.”
“In fact, don’t fucking look at me or I’ll have to kill you or myselves.”
stable only because when Limbo started panicking in the mindspace, Abbacchio simply pointed and snapped at her to CALM THE FUCK DOWN. and she did so immediately.
nicer than Abbacchio. not by that much, though… but weirdly apologetic about it.
the eyeliner doesn’t appear to be due to crying, it seems that it just looks like that.
bazongas?
Stand: Keeping The Faith? Never Too Late? Shawty like a melody-
“rewinds” signals to previous states or connections and/or can do a “replay” of those signals’ succeeded actions (i.e. having a phone replay a prior conversation) Unfortunately, it’s pretty useless in combat.
Limbo + Giorno
Glimbo Giovadkins - she(?)/they/them
“Wouldn’t you like to hear one of my 765 fun facts about aerodynamics, animals or Air Bud?”
“I also have a few facts about botany, blood and birds.”
stable, until they’re not. they’re incredibly calm and delightful, but when they think someone’s mad at them they panic and start excessively apologising.
genuinely the softest cutest sweetest lil bitch you’ve ever seen. also traumatised with a guilty conscience and can flip on a dime in a terrifying way.
shortest Limbo fusion for no clear reason? shorter than both Limbo and Giorno.
Squalo’s worst fear.
sounds pretty much how you would expect.
Stand: Crystal Dolphin - can transform signals into life—by taking the signals out of something, typically disabling it, they can create life like Gold Experience can. The more complex the device, the bigger its potential creation.
Limbo + Buccellati
Bimbo Luno Adkellati - they/them
"...I've lost the conversation. I'm gonna go make pizza!"
Megan Thee Stallion?!
has no idea what’s going on for some reason? always looks a little confused and loses track of conversations very quickly.
very good with kids! practically unable to have a coherent conversation with Abbacchio. They don’t seem too distressed, but they just stop making much sense and seem to confuse themselves.
Stand: When Doves Cry? Perhaps Freewill? Uhm… I don’t know? Maybe it can sort of, ‘zip’ signals together, combining two or more functions into one sent signal? Bruno's ability is just so specific... I can't think of many ideas.
Limbo + Fugo
Fimbo (Pannalimbo Adkigo) - they/them
"STOP TALKING ABOUT FREUD BEFORE I KILL YOU WITH MY FUCKING BRACELETS!!!"
( Note: all currently depicted instances of Fimbo seem to be post-PHF, as Fimbo is almost always seen with the mouth scars hidden by the tattoo.)
enemy of the state. punches fascists. lovecore punk goth. in terms of authority figures they only respect Buccellati and Limbo’s dad.
AuDHD trauma poster child. Short fuse but very friendly until something sets them off and they start screaming and or burst into fucking tears.
Self-love in the sense that the fusionmates care about each other deeply and both sides are trying to look out for the other knowing the other won't look out for themself.
Stand: Cabin Fever - Terrifying deathly virus that, rather than being airborne like Purple Haze, is passed though signal transmission. Fimbo doesn’t know if the virus is the same as Purple Haze, a different strain of it, or something entirely different. It spreads most quickly through vocal communication between two people.
Limbo + Narancia
Nimbus Ghirgins - he/they/she
"tummyache... :("
Libby why does my stomach feel like it’s going to fucking collapse in on itself and why are my knuckles torn? aren’t they supposed to bruise when you punch?
bad relationship with food. Hanahaki disease, what are you doing here? (/ij)
sometimes they find Mista sitting around, sit next to him and fall asleep on him immediately
incredibly bad with emotions and doesn’t even get angry they just get overwhelmed instantly at any presence of significant emotion
Stand: Falling in Love/Hard on the Knees - who the fuck let this kid control CO2 emissions?? They can barely control themselves???
#jjba#back on my fusion bullshit#i think they are goiung to take me away soon applejack#vento aureo#pannacotta fugo#narancia ghirga#guido mista#bruno buccellati#bruno bucciarati#team buccellati#leone abbacchio#giorno giovanna#jjba oc#jojo oc#Limbo Adkins#fanstands#amby draws#my art#cw: ed#tw ed implied#see limbos got an ED but all other components are able to handle or 'alleviate' that in a semi-casual way#Mistas carefree attitude comes with a lot less insecurity and mista loves to cook while limbo will eat anything he cooks if shes offered it#in the case of Lio Abbacchio actually has most of the control because limbo is scared of/respects him (for some reason)#but they're mentally unstable and generally concerning for other reasons#namely lacking a will to live#glimbo sort of does a whole steven universe here-comes-a-thought type business to address the problems directly as much as they can#lunos parental instincts override everything else so anytime they dont know what to do theyre like#mm im gonna go cook. and then as a result they end up eating just because That's The Way Things Work#fimbo is (as mentioned) a fusion where the two sides know the other won't care for themself. So both sides are caring for each other instea#also fugo establishes a routine and both of these audhd bitches know if they deviate from the routine they will explode

y'know, it probably feels weird for the scoundrel to admit, but they feel surprisingly comforted to be back on their ship for a change. they finally have control of the situation, they're finally around people they (vaguely) trust, they- wait a minute hold on what was that line
oh
oh no
oh no the horrors just keep getting worse and worse for them
#i dont think they're gonna be okay after All That. for a While.#fittingly i drew the merry gentleman card immediately after touching shore so there you go lmao#yin-thoughts#fallen london#fallen london spoilers#im weirdly enthralled by this line?? it's weirdly just. really effective#the implication that you've gone through All That over the course of weeks. idk. it's a little nightmare fuel#did you spend it with the mask on or off? does it even matter? do you even know?#ik days and weeks and the like in-universe dont really matter most of the time bc they dont really carry over#like a storylet will say 'over the next few weeks you do x' casually and you just accept that#but like. idk. something about it with the delight Specifically is sticking with me a lot.#how many times did you really go up and down those stairs. how long did you really spend staring into the distance.#how long were those birds screaming in your ears. how long was the naturalist screaming.#it's weirdly effective fringe horror on top of an already very good delightfully gory horror sequence#anyway. in conclusion i don't think the scoundrel is uh. Doing Good.#the delight scared the shit out of them. they arent the type to get scared easily. they were in autopilot fear mode for 99% of it.#they are putting that mask very very very far away on a shelf somewhere and desperately trying to forget it exists forever and ever now.#the end

genuinely i dont think there needs to be a big extended sonic movie universe. i think 3 movies and a spinoff miniseries are enough. we do not need a bunch of sequels and spinoffs introducing all the characters and adapting every game . to be clear this wasnt prompted by any specific news i was just thinking about it
#and i say this as someone who LIKES the sonic movies btw#theyre not perfect theres some parts that i dont care for (like. the stuff with cops. sonic and friends dont like cops what are you DOING)#but i do for the most part find them to be a fun watch#however . we dont need a 4th one . please#i dont even get the point of adapting the entire game series like the games already exist just go play those#do people think that live action adaptations are an inherent improvement deserving of more respect or something ?#also just look at the mcu. its a mess thats literally impossible for the average viewer or casual marvel fans to keep up with#id hate to see the sonic movies turn into that even if im a dedicated sonic fan that would be able to keep up with it#now that i said this the third movie is probably gonna have a post credits scene#thats jusr silver showing up and going ITS NO USE !!!!!!!!!!!!! or some shit teasing a 4th movie

Hey, guys?
People on the opposite side of the political spectrum can be good people too.
It's starting to make me really uncomfortable how divided everything is. People have adopted an "if you're not with us, you're against us" mentality when talking about the other side, and it's so jarring going from online where that's the norm to being in an Uber and your driver is the other side.
Online parties make the other side out to be monsters who want nothing more than to watch the world burn. And while that is absolutely true for some people (on BOTH SIDES), most people are far more sane than that.
Everyone's actions make sense to them. Everyone thinks they're in the right, at least to some degree.
Left-wingers aren't monsters under the bed out to kill and eat kids or something.
Right-wingers aren't shadows on the wall that stalk their prey at night.
But holy fuck the way they talk about each other, you'd think they are.
I'm not saying you gotta switch sides. What I am saying is that you're not helping out anything by "us vs them"ing the other half of the population in your head.
Most offline people either don't think some issues are as prevalent as they are, or just don't see how it applies to them and focus on their own lane. This (the second half) can be a bad thing, absolutely, but it can also be a good thing, too. Mostly it's neutral from what I've personally seen. The first half just means they should do more research, but if someone doesn't see why it matters then convincing them to do so in earnest will be hard.
That doesn't make them bad. Just means they're focused on other things. Just because someone doesn't get it doesn't mean they're the scum of the earth. There's plenty you don't know about, either. How dare you not know about every tiny conflict happening out there right now, y'know?
Love thy neighbor n all that. We're all just trying to live as best as we can at the end of the day.
#its wild. i was in an uber a couple weeks ago and my driver and i got to talking about lgbt stuff#and he was generally not knowledgable but casually supportive#and then he threw out there that he was a trump supporter. just casually. didnt think anything of it.#it was so jarring cuz online we're conditioned to think trump supporters are automatically the worst of the worst#but he wasnt#same with my family. a lot of them support trump but they support lgbtq folks too#my dad says he agrees with trumps policies which. i dont wanna unpack that. but my dad is a good person.#he just doesnt KNOW.#and if your immediate response to this is thaf i need stronger boundaries then you missed the point#polarizing ourselves like this isnt good and is just gonna make shit worse#anyway. im awake way too early and im going to bed.#dimond speaks

something thats really standing out about fallout 3 thus far to me is. just how fucking mean and unpleasant everyone is,
not that the wasteland is ever friendly or hospitable in any game ever but it seems like i Cannot catch a break here
most of the other 101 residents are unfriendly or Mean to you. megaton is alright but i dont really talk to anyone other than gob (my beloved) and moira (my other beloved) like theres just not a lot there that interests me/strikes me as a person i notably care about or my protagonist would have any kind of relationship to other than those two. i hate going to rivet city everyone is so hostile and they all hate each other and its so hard to navigate. everyone in tenpenny tower is awful. maybe its intended to feel like the world is against you but the only place anyone’s nice to me is underworld :/ :/ so. three dog loves me though. so at least i have that
three dog: constantly putting his entire heart into hyping me up on the radio as im trying my best to help as many people as possible
the entire capital wasteland: who the fuck are you get out of my face
#i guess things are especially dire in capital wasteland. theres barely anywhere safe left#but i feel like new vegas is just about as fucked up and people arent this hostile#like yea of course some people will be but the amount of constant undeserved verbal abuse im dealing with here..#also i cannot figure out what the dynamic would be with charon. boy wont talk to me so i cant tell what would or wouldnt be in character#like at all. but i like him hes helpful#and the game is not offering me any kind of casual ‘see you later’ dismissal#if i want to travel with someone else i apparently have to Fire Him#so i guess its gonna be him and me forever now lets go bestie

fang do u have any personal casual hookup rules u abide by in terms of safeguarding urself mentally and/or physically after the deed is done? i know u have a very rational insight to sex-ed & sex positivity and i appreciate it bc a lot of other ppl's advice and rules for casual sex boils down to no kissing (which is kinda heartbreaking to me but i'ma sap), use protection (obviously) or it just tilts in a way that shames women in particular for even wanting smth casual. sorry if this comes at an odd time i just feel like if anyone can give it to me straight it's you!!
ok i know u said for afterwards but i do want to say my number one general hookup advice which is don't have sex with someone you wouldn't share a meal with and don't have sex with someone who isn't willing to feed you afterwards!
this has been my general rule of thumb for any form of casual sex and relationships and it will save you a lot of trouble at any point. it's my golden rule for casual relationships.
its a very easy litmus test. if you ask the person you're sleeping with if they have any snacks or if they could get you some and they respond positively / without being confused or annoyed, you are like soo golden. even better if they offer without asking. it seems very basic, but sharing food like that is a very good sign they like genuinely see you as a person. don't sleep with someone who wouldn't be able to meet you at the most basic level of sharing food with you. its not an inherently intimate thing, but still shows respect. ik it seems random but im so serious
i think no kissing rule sucks booo i want to makeout i dont use it. protection is obvious. in terms of protecting yourself like 99% of the battle is just picking a person who is at a baseline decent like genuinely. so genuinely. but its also the hardest part
im not going to be helpful on the emotional front (ex manwhore) but physically drink a lot of water afterwards and keep some babywipes on you at all times!!!!! cleaning up downstairs and having washed hands can save ur life. i reccomend a toothbrush too like try to do all of those things immediately if u cant shower right away
#return to sender#im not good at emotional attachment stuff i do not get attached to people easily at all rip#in fact i was usually the dickhead but not on purpose#and also like. casual sex is casual sex. people r gonna wanna impose on u about it if u mention it#but always rmb its just sex. if you're starting to feel like its more than that just pull away and reallign a bit#the act itself is morally neautral#so if things r happening bc of it then theres usually smth bigger go on#just be mindful of ur headspace going into it and know ur reasons#but 9/10 if ur reasons r Only Sex u wont run into many problems#if however they arent only sex and ur trying to use it to cope w something else shit will get SO ugly so fast#getting attached happens but again. not the person to ask on this one

iwtv ep 4 rewatch thoughts
ep 4 starting with a sunrise bc the baby trap—the vampire Claudia—is the start of a new dawn in hell. only just like paul, she’s dead too…
ive shared some thoughts on this opening scene here
it breaks my heart that the first time we see the library with all it’s threads to Louis’ humanity/past (the books, the bench, the rocks etc. etc.) is when we’re properly introduced to Claudia given all she represented in Louis’ undead life. He brought her home to make up for what he was losing in the natural world/humanity (his sister/family etc. etc.) and to make up for his sins. but neither could ever truly live under his expectations or be what he needs (to no fault of theirs. tbc i don’t believe Claudia should have had to be what he needed). Claudia expected to play the role of their eternal child could not survive in their castle of lies in her own truth. a real magnolia tree could not survive within the confines of his penthouse coffin of self imposed (and maybe also imposed/enabled by Armand) delusions.
a magnolia tree is said to symbolize luck and stability (according to my quick google search) it’s first introduction in the show is being juxtaposed against the introduction of a character who suffered terrible luck and whose outcome contributes to Louis’ emotional instability. truly dreadful times.
the pink flowers symbolize: grace and femininity as well as joy, youth and innocence which reflects how Louis wants to remember Claudia i think. also the fact that it symbolizes Grace makes me want to be shot into the stratosphere. like please 😭. This is the pain with the vampire show.
i like the joyful and hopeful tone of the soundtrack as we dive in and get to know who she was. it really doesn’t give away what’s to come. it really speaks to the positive shift her addition to the rue royal townhouse brought, even though there was something much more grim happening beneath it. it also juxtaposes Daniel reading out a passage from her journal that is also bitter against the sweet feel of the soundtrack.
i also like that when Daniel picks up the journal that describes Claudia feeding from POWs there’s a wide shot that includes a blurred branch of the tree. which makes me think about that innocence symbolism in regards to how Claudia and her fate is viewed. Every decision that was made for this scene is encouraging/seducing the viewer to have a nuanced approach in how to we perceive Claudia before we get to the grit of it. Just like Louis/Rashmand encouraging Danny to start from the left—the sympathetic beginning—like i spoke about in the link above.
we see a quick shot of a drawn image of a bell in the journal Daniel picks up to read. bells are usually rung at the beginning and/or the end of something. in this case it is both the beginning and the end as we are introduced to Claudia when she is already dead.
and as we transition into Claudia’s pov Daniel takes the journal closer to the magnolia tree in a shot where the branch is once again blurred in the foreground.
#iwtv ep 4 rewatch#louis de pointe du lac#daniel molloy#armand#claudia#i always go into these rewatch thoughts like im not gonna have anything meaningful to say#i always feel like im just gonna be regurgitating things yall been saying since in came out#and i think i do#but i still love the experience of noticing all the thought that went into each scene in each episode in a way i didn’t#when i was just casually watching.#mw posts

i dont wanna be a dick and act like i have no responsibility in this but after a point dont u think if all you ever say to ur friend is Omg you never make it out why dont you ever come out with us you bail all the time youre such a flake etc. dont u think that person (me) is like. not gonna feel so inclined to. be there
#like. yeah i was bad last semester i get it. and probably i shouldve tried at least once or twice to push thru#but i was so exhausted. and every time they would bring up hanging out it was on my longest days#and when i casually brought this up they were just like Well we have long days too. Okay!#and i love and miss these friends and i know for the most part. or at least think. theyre just teasing#i hate being seen as the flake like any time i do have to be like Oh i cant make that or Shit im sorry i have to bail#i try to offer an alternative???? and they never compromise on that. how is that fair like im not just outright rejecting u all the time#not to mention most of the time last semester it was always gonna be somewhere super easy for them to get home and far from me#im not like constantly holding this against them btw but i feel like they're holding it against me and i dont have any more apologies in me#anyway. that said. if theyre somewhere really expensive and far from me tn and i get out of work early#i. probably will not make it. lol! if theyd be willing to come a little closer to my place to one of the dives or some shit thatd be great#and like im not doing much today until class and work so really like. i WILL try. but i think they could sometimes not go for the most#expensive and inconvenient option as well. and these r all things ill say if it becomes like a problem problem or smth#but rn im not gonna be a dickhead and shit on their plans#but also! ok whatever im not gonna keep going on i just feel shitty im not 100% better from being sick and im just frustrated#about having to fuckign grovel over and over and over. i meant it the first few times now im just like#u could try not to be an asshole to me for five seconds too. like. i am very clearly not someone trying to secretly stop being friends#w yall. things happen#abby talks#and maybe this is an esp sore spot bc like ive certainly had some of you bail on me or be flaky or whatever before. and i didnt throw#a fucking fit to your face about it. probably bc it actually did feel more mean spirited sometimes#OK im sorry im not trying to make my friends sound evil and its mostly just the one and like im working on forgiving her for it cause it#was years ago but also like christ!

does the fact that you didnt get to catch Ogerpon sting sometimes?
what are your biggest fears?
did you ever look at the purple plush at Peachy's?
do you have a crush on anyone?
and for the love of Arceus how did you get your Dipplin to evolve? I've been training mine for a year and I still cant evolve him.
no not really?... odd question.
what.
what.
what.........................
dragon cheer tm226. you might have to ask someone for it. cant remember how i got it but just let your dipplin learn the move first, give it a rare candy or battle pokemon to level it up, and boom. hydrapple. easy peasy
... well getting your hands on it that is. maybe ask drayton? he is the only dragon trainer i know of.
#rotomblr#pkmn irl#thanks for the ask!#trainer kieran#pokemon fanart#im not answering that FOURTH question JUST SO YOU KNOW.#im not giving out that much info about myself. i dont trust you people.#as for ogerpon. im fine with it? i mean florian sometimes give me ogerpon to take care of her. she sometimes gets homesick.#like yeah i really admire ogerpon but im not gonna just casually catch ogerpon just because. and to be frank i dont really travel much.#ogerpon needs someone to go and see other places and explore the world. im just pretty much not able to adventure outside of kitakami#also why are you guys talking about the plush so much now.#if i could i would just get the spray bottle and spray you guys with it every time you mention it. bad anons bad.
