DPXDC prompt. Dead on main. Someone who knows you better than you know yourself.

Perhaps Fentons are not able to recognize their child, despite the fact that they hunt him day after day. But for childhood friends, who saw each other in absolutely ridiculous situations that parents are never allowed to know about, just one sneeze and a bored sigh is enough to realize that this weirdo fighting next to him is the same guy with whom you tasted soap and then stood looking at each other from different corners and giggling.

And so, the dialogue after the battle with the creatures of Infinite Realms, to which Constantine had to invite a potential ally not yet approved by the League:

Phantom: Well, mom always said you were bad news...But a crime lord, seriously? What happened to your plans to become a literature teacher? Red Hood: Hey! For Gotham, this is a very high-paying in-demand job. And I don't want to hear anything from Casper. At least I have my own business. What kind of part-time job do you have? Are you selling sheets to your buddies from this green goo? Phantom: This is ectoplasm. And they're not my friends, and anyway… Constantine: King Phantom, do you know Red Hood? Phantom: Do I know him? Ha! This street rat was Splinter of my beginnings until my family moved out of Gotham.

Red Hood: Wait, wait a minute. Phah...Holy shit. I thought I was the best example of what it means to be a disappointment to a family, but you beat me here. Oh, man, only you...The ghost king who is the son of the ghost hunters? Seriously? Hahah! I thought your rebellious phase ended the moment you told your father that you wanted to be an astronaut and not inherit the family business.

Danny*groans and covers his face with his hands*: My life is over.

Red Hood: Literally~ No, of course I always knew that your parents' disregard for safety in the laboratory would someday kill someone, but I didn't really expect this? Like, wow… Phantom: What makes you think it was an incident in the lab? I mean, there are so many possibilities around. It's ridiculous and…hah Red Hood: Dude, look me straight in the face and tell me I'm wrong if you dare. Phantom:…Fuck you, stupid bookworm. Red Hood: Stubborn nerd. Phantom: Red bucket! Red Hood: Pale toadstool! Nightwing: Um, can you guys please stop fighting? Red Hood: What are you talking about? This is how we always communicate. Phantom: Yeah! Well, in our defense, my sister always thought we both could use a therapist. Oh, man, he made me lose my train of thought. Where were we, J? Red Hood: Since when are you able to think? And I complimented your new hair and skin color. Phantom: Right, right… But, hey, not all of my parents' hypotheses really have a right to exist, and you know it! Hm, did I mention that you're built like a fridge and how does this leather jacket suit you? Red Hood: I believe not. And who's talking about your parents' work? You were an airhead when you were alive too to be honest. And as I see it, not much has changed. Why the hell are you still starting a fight with puns? Stop telling your opponent your position. This is terribly stupid! Phantom: Oh, please, these ghosts are definitely not a threat to me. What's wrong with having a little fun? The fact that you don't have weapons to handle something stronger than a blob ghost is your problem not mine, loser. But let's get back to our greetings. Red Hood: Sure. Then listen here…

~~~~~

Nightwing: Jay, why didn't you say right away that you knew Phantom? We've wasted so much time wondering if it's worth summoning him, and you just stood there and said nothing. Red Hood: Pfff…Because I didn't know that until today. He used to be human. And we haven't seen each other for a long time. So how was I to know that he would take such a ridiculous pseudonym? Nightwing: Then why the hell didn't you feel worried about teasing this creature? Red Hood: Why should I? It's just Danny.

~~~~

Tucker: Oh man, 84 murders, attempts to kill Joker and to much fights with Batman and Black Mask and… Danny: Yeah, yeah. It's all very interesting, but it's not what I asked you to find. Get to the point, Tucker. What I will wear to our dinner tonight depends on this. Tucker: Seriously? As far as I'm concerned, whether he's single or not is less important than all this shit. Aren't you afraid to show up at his house? Danny: I'm invited. And for that matter, I'm Amity Park's former public enemy number one. Which one of us should be worried, hah? So he's not dating anyone, right? Don't try to distract me. Tucker: Dude! Danny: Ugh, in my experience, when he acts like he's lost his mind, he usually has good reasons for it. And if not, given some of the events of my alternative future, I have no right to judge him, so…

teacups and princesses | max verstappen

an: i’ve never been to disneyworld/land so sorry if anything is wrong lol

Max had promised Ophelia a trip to Disney World whenever they made it to Miami. That’s all the little girl could talk about. She even made a list of all the things she wanted to do and characters she wanted to meet. Max would do anything to see his baby girl happy so your little family of three arrived to America earlier than you usually would so Ophelia could spend a day at Disney.

Max wanted her day to feel magical so he bought her an identical sleeping beauty dress and pink glittery flats instead of those plastic heels that came worth the dress.

“Papa, you have to wear the ears!” Ophelia pointed at the Mickey wars that were on display. “Please!”

“You think papa would look cute in them?” Max grabbed her hand and walked with her to the store. You couldn’t help but take a picture of them.

“Yes! And mama can wear this one!” Ophelia pointed to the Minnie ears.

“Oh, mama is going to look so beautiful in these. Can you pick some ears for me? I want to look beautiful like mama.” Max grabbed the Minnie ears and placed them on your head. He then took his phone out and took a picture of you.

Ophelia was taking the job of finding the perfect Mickey ears for Max very seriously. She had changed her mind at least four times. When she spotted the perfect ones, she immediately grabbed them and showed them to her dad.

“I love them, phee. Here, put them on.” He crouched down so Ophelia could place the ears on his head.

“You look pretty! But mama looks prettier.” The girl giggled.

“I’ll take that.” Max chuckled.

After paying for the ears, the first stop was a ride that Ophelia had been wanting to ride for a while. The line for the teacups was a little long, but Max kept Ophelia entertained by asking her the most random questions.

“If you were a any color of the rainbow, which one would you be?”

Ophelia thought about it. Orange? No, she didn’t like it. Blue? Not even close.

“I wanna be every color!”

“That’s what I was going to say!” Max replied.

“What about you mama? What color of the rainbow would you be?” Ophelia asked you.

“I would be red. I love the color red.” You nodded.

“Traitor!” Max said jokingly.

After a while, it was your turn to ride the teacups. A while back Ophelia had told Max she wanted to ride the pink teacup so Max, wanting to be the best dad ever, raced to get to the pink teacup first.

“You know you were the only adult running for a teacup, right?” You laughed at Max. You helped Ophelia get into the teacup.

“If my girl wants the pink teacup, she’s getting the pink teacup.”

When the ride started, you all turned the wheel as fast as you could since Ophelia wanted to go super fast. Hearing your daughter laugh was like a sweet song that you never wanted to end.

“Faster!” Ophelia yelled.

You looked at Max. The smile on his face never left. It warmed your heart seeing him so happy.

When the ride ended, you were all tired from turning the wheel. You were pretty sure your arms were about to fall off, but it was worth it.

“Where to next, princess Ophelia?” Max questioned.

“I want to meet Mickey and Minnie and Sleeping beauty and Cinderella . . .” She listed all the characters she wanted to meet.

Of course Max made it all possible. He never broke his promises when it came to you and Ophelia.

As you walked around, you were on the search for sleeping beauty. Ophelia was getting disappointed that she was no where to be found, but her dad assured her that she would meet sleeping beauty.

“Phee, look over there.” You pointed towards a small group of children that were gathered around Princess Aurora.

Ophelia looked and practically fainted at the sight of her favorite princess. “Mama! Papa! It’s sleeping beauty!” She pointed at the blonde princess.

“Let’s go!” Max grabbed Ophelia’s hand.

When you got to where sleeping beauty was, Ophelia had gone shy. She was in the presence of her favorite Disney princess, how could she not be shy?

“Look at you! We have matching dresses! Oh, I love your shoes!” Princess Aurora told Ophelia.

“My papa got them for me.” She said in a low tone.

“Well your papa definitely picked the most beautiful shoes for you. They’re so glittery, I love them. Can I keep them?”

“But they’re too small for you!” Ophelia laughed at the thought of the princess wearing tiny shoes.

“You’re right,” the princess said sadly. “But maybe we can ask someone with magic to make the shoes bigger?”

“Wait! My papa knows where to buy these shoes but bigger for you! And then we can match more!”

You and Max watch the whole interaction with smiles on your faces. It was too cute.

“You know, Ophelia asked me when are is she going to have a baby brother because she’s our princess and now we need a prince.” Max told you.

“And what do you think?” You ask him.

“I think . . . that’s she’s right.”

“A boy. A mini you.” You kissed Max. “Just you, me and our little girl and boy, sounds like the perfect dream.”

[Kara and Nia arguing in the tower when Lena walks in, setting her purse and portable equipment down before approaching the two heroes]

Lena: Ladies, WHAT is going on here?

Kara: Nia saw this supposed fact online and I was trying to convince her that she’s wrong!

Nia: I’m not wrong! It’s impossible to touch your belly button with both your elbows! It’s just a fact!

Kara: It is not-

Lena: Kara…honey, have you tried testing this theory?

Kara: (pouting) I did.

Lena: …And?

Kara: And my muscles are too big and they couldn’t reach. But just because I can’t do it doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Nia: (quips) Not every day you hear Supergirl say that.

Lena: (chiming in before Kara can retort) Well, Nia, did you try it?

Nia: No, but that’s because a rogue Dominator we were just fighting tore a whole in my Dreamer outfit and I was afraid it’ll tear more if I try.

Lena: Oh my god, Nia, are you hurt?

Nia: I’m fine. Not as injured as Kara’s ego when she she has to admit she’s wrong.

Kara: I will heat vision your face off.

Nia: (sticks her tongue out at Kara tauntingly)

Lena: (standing between the two women with her arms stretched out to separate them) Okay STOP! Would it help settle this if I tried to do it?

Kara: Lena, you don’t have to.

Lena: (raises an eyebrow at Kara and stares at her, as if to convey “I adore you and I don’t mind but I also want to resolve this so we can get back to work,” before turning her head to give Nia a similar look.)

Nia: Sure.

Kara: Yeah, that’d be great.

Lena: And you’ll both abide by the results, without gloating if you win or lashing out with your powers if you lose? [Not that anyone in the room believes Kara would actually melt Nia’s face but saying the last part helps to deescalate the tension]

Kara: I mean…I can’t promise no gloating…

Nia: That seems fair.

Lena: Good enough. (She takes off her jacket and walks over to set it with her other items, revealing a button down blouse with a significant number of the top buttons undone underneath. She walks back over to the two heroes.)

Lena: So…like this? (Lena looks down at her stomach struggling to touch her belly button with both her elbows. She’s unable to do so but unbeknownst to her, the action has caused Lena to push her breasts together, briefly mesmerizing Kara.)

Nia: (to Kara, gently smacking the back of her hand on Kara’s arms) See, I told you we’d be able to get her to do it.

Lena: (confused) Do what? I haven’t done- (looks down again and sees her chest prominently on display for everyone in the room; she chuckles and then stands up straight.) Seriously you two?

Kara: (pointing her finger at Nia without looking at her) It was her idea!

Lena: (Raises an eyebrow at Kara) You expect me to believe that when you’re still not making eye contact with me? (Kara blushes as her eyes snap back up to meet Lena’s)

Nia: (To Lena) No, it’s true. It was my idea…and I’m ten bucks richer because of it! (To Kara) I accept payment in the form of PayPal, Venmo and Noonan’s sticky buns.

Kara: (Looks down at her supersuit, which doesn’t have pockets and thus doesn’t have her phone.) Can I get you tomorrow?

Nia: Works for me. I like my sticky buns warmed up, please and thank you. (Turns to exit the room) I’m going home, I’ve got a date with Brainy in an hour. See you both tomorrow!

Kara: Bye Nia!

Lena: Have a good night!

(Kara and Lena turn their gazes back on each other.)

Lena: So you bet on me not falling for what I’m assuming was a social media trend?

Kara: (Sheepishly) A little bit.

Lena: Well…I’m sorry to disappoint but serves you right that you lost.

Kara: I wouldn’t say that. I mean…yeah I owe Nia breakfast but I refuse to consider getting to stare at your chest as anything other than a win. (Smiles widely at Lena as she approaches her, her hands holding Lena’s lower back while her girlfriend wraps her arms around Kara’s neck, smiling back at her as she touches their noses together.)

Lena: (playfully) You’re ridiculous. (She presses a quick kiss to Kara’s lips.)

Kara: You love me and you know it. (Kara’s freezes at the realization that’s the first time either of them has brought up the “L” word. Before Kara can fully panic, Lena takes a half step closer into Kara’s embrace, bringing their upper bodies into full contact and one of her hands starts to run through Kara’s hair. It helps to both calm the Kryptonian and keep her staring into the enchanting eyes of the gorgeous woman in her arms.)

Lena: It’s true. I really do love you. (The playfulness in her voice a moment ago is gone, Lena has never been more serious in her life.)

Kara: Y-you do? (Kara smiles again. Any nervousness in her voice isn’t about a doubt in Lena’s sincerity; she has none. It’s that hearing Lena Luthor say she that loves her not only reaffirms the strong feelings she’d had of her own that she’d wanted to tell her girlfriend for a while now, but that it also brings such a sheer amount of happiness to Kara that she feels like she could explode and has her briefly questioning reality that this is really happening.)

Lena: (finding it amusing that although her girlfriend is the one with super hearing, Lena’s sure she can hear Kara’s heart beating out of her chest. Tears of joy start to pool in the corner of her eyes. Seeing this causes Kara to do the same.) Yes. Always (it’s a small but loaded word, one they both recognize is an expression of how long and how strongly Lena loves Kara; past, present and future.)

Kara: Oh Lena, I love you too. I love you so much. I-

(Lena leans back against a support beam and cuts Kara off with a passionate kiss. Lena is in love with Kara. Kara is in love with Lena. Kissing the woman who so irrevocably and completely owns your heart, who has giving you theirs in kind, it can set your soul ablaze in a way that words can’t quench. So instead, Lena and Kara kiss, slowly, intimately, conveying their love for one another in a way words would fail to express. Lena is ultimately the one who pulls away first, amused when Kara’s lips try to chase her own. She smiles and teases Kara into unsuccessfully trying to kiss her once, then twice, before acquiescing to Kara’s lips once again. Lena then pulls back and looks into the eyes of her beautiful lover.)

Lena: (pure lust in her voice) Show me.

(Events from there unfold not unlike that old anecdote Lena remembers about a woman falling in love with her soulmate the way one falls asleep: slowly and then all at once. Kara deeply kisses Lena again, pulling Lena flush against her body. They remain kissing this way at a leisurely pace until things escalated. Suddenly, Kara’s tongue was teasing Lena’s lips seeking invitation, which Lena was quick to oblige. The sensation of Kara’s tongue in her mouth caused Lena to emit a low moan, before sucking on Kara’s tongue to spur the same reaction from the taller blonde. Lena’s actions caused Kara’s hands to migrate down from Lena’s back until they were firmly holding her ass and then squeezed, much to the delight of the young Luthor.

It hadn’t taken long for Kara and Lena to sleep together when they first became a couple. They actually had sex on their first date, which was only a day after Kara confessed her feelings and asked Lena out, both laughing off the idea that it was “too soon” when “five years of foreplay had to be a world record.” Since then, Lena and Kara have maintained a very healthy and active sex life. While Kara’s hands held their grip on Lena’s ass, her lips had moved to placing open mouth kisses on Lena’s neck. It was in this moment Lena vividly remembered one particular night from their first week together where Kara couldn’t help but enthusiastically leave love marks across Lena’s body. They’d arrived at Lena’s apartment following a Lena Luthor Foundation Gala and Lena barely had time to lock her door before Kara’s hands were all over her. After several passionate minutes on the couch, somehow not a single article of clothing had been shed between them, Kara whispered in her ear that she could smell Lena’s excitement, which of course made Lena’s arousal that much greater. Taking a page from her girlfriend’s book, Lena cast a quick spell to enhance her own senses, allowing her to smell Kara’s arousal beneath her super suit. Lena groaned at the scent, eager to once again taste her lover.

Lena: (Kara continuing to kiss her neck) You know, I realized recently I could use my magic and smell how excited you are too. (Lena leans to whisper in Kara’s ear) And you’re soaking wet for me right now, aren’t you baby? (Lena takes Kara’s earlobe between her teeth and bites, causing Kara to whimper, before taking her turn to kiss Kara’s neck.)

Kara: So wet for you baby. (Lena traces her tongue up from Kara’s collarbone to her jawline, before Kara pulls her into another loving kiss.) Let me fly you home and make love to you, please.

Lena: Nia left the tower right?

Kara: (confused) Yeah, why?

Lena: (separates from Kara, who whines at the loss of contact, walks towards the largest couch in the rest area, turns back to face Kara and starts unbuttoning the rest of her shirt while staring at her girlfriend) So…we’re all alone in the tower?

Kara: (catching on, deactivating the nanotechnology in her suit for it to come off) For the rest of the night.

(Kara’s own top is on the ground by the time she gets to Lena, kissing her fiercely as she picks up the shorter woman, who wrapped both her legs around Kara’s waist as Kara laid her down on the couch and got comfortable on top of her. Heels were kicked away and skirts were stripped out of in short order after that. Sitting up to discard their bras, Kara straddled Lena, grabbed the Luthor’s face to pull her in for another kiss. Lena licked her way down all of Kara’s now exposed flesh until she got to Kara’s nipple and enveloped it with her lips. Kara moaned in pleasure.)

Lena: (teasingly) You know, it’s always a win when I get to stare at your chest too.

Kara: (laughs) I love you so damn much Lena Luthor.

Lena: (smiles and laughs) I love you so damn much Kara Danvers.

And they continued to express that love throughout the night.

#supercorp #lena luthor #kara danvers #supergirl #supergirl crack …maybe #Nia nal #dreamer #listen…I wrote this and even I don’t know what the fuck this is #this was supposed to be a Supercorp crack post #then I got to Kara saying “you love me and you know it” and thought hmmm #what if I made this about Kara and Lena’s first time saying I love you #which then turned into what if I turned this into mild smut #that I spent so many hours on when I should’ve been sleeping #I didn’t want to write a full smut scene #even before working on this for like 5 hours #I did my best to end it in a decent way #“why didn’t I just save it as a draft and come to it later?”#why don’t you mind your own business lol #also I can’t yet trust that I’d go back and finish it #so for better or worse this is what I did

Anonymous asked: I find myself in a terrible rut where I want to read things from my favorite writers, but I compare myself too them and get discouraged feeling like my work will never be that good. I know comparison is a thief of joy, and people say they enjoy my writing, but I can't seem to get out of my own way. My other question is how to take a step back and remember we're doing this because we enjoy writing?

[Ask edited for length]

It can help to bear in mind that all writers--even your favorite ones--felt the same way at some point, and some of them still do. There are successful, famous, best-selling, award-winning authors who still get imposter syndrome. So, on some level, that's just brains doing brain things.

Also, though, it can help to know it's actually a good sign when you feel like your writing isn't quite where you want it to be. It means your taste... to quote Ira Glass (see video below), "the thing that got you into the game, your taste is still killer. And your taste is good enough that you can tell that what you're making is kind of a disappointment to you..." And that matters, because it means your brain knows what's good, even if you haven't quite gotten your writing skill there yet. But knowing... to quote something else... "is half the battle." If you know your writing could be better, you have the ability to get it there and you will.

So, read the post linked below and watch the video:

Comparing Self to Others, Insecure About Writing

And here's another post that might help:

Guide: Dealing with Self-Doubt & Impostor Syndrome

Ultimately, you get back to the joy of writing (and reading) by remembering that writing isn't something you instantly do well. Good writing takes time and practice, and you get better with every book you read and every story you write. So, keep loving what you're doing, because it's getting better and better with time, and there will come a time where you feel more confident in your writing and struggle less with comparing your writing to others. ♥

Wish rewrite ✨ pt.4

This is the fourth part of my rewrite of "Wish." The first part is here, the second is here, and the third is here.

I guess you can say we're in the third act now!

Confrontation with Dahlia: The two go back to town and see everyone is indeed in a frenzy. An alarmed Orion/Star directs Asha’s attention to a nearby wall: a ‘Wanted’ poster with Asha’s face on it. She’s confused and worried, but is levelheaded enough to say that they should find Dahlia. They go to her at the bakery and she explains to Asha what happened. Asha is horrified to learn that her mom and grandfather are imprisoned. Dahlia says she should turn herself in, which stuns Asha. (“You don’t… seriously believe that I destroyed the wishes, do you?” “I don’t know what to believe.”) They argue (“Dahlia, please, you know me! I’m your friend!” “Who broke into the castle and stole from the king and queen!” *points to the history book*) and Asha reminds her that the royals lied about Rosas’ history, so why wouldn’t they lie about this? Eventually, someone outside spots Asha through the window and she and Orion/Star rush out the back. Dahlia is left pondering over Asha’s words, but not for long as castle guards burst in and demand to know where Asha is. Dahlia says she doesn’t know (struggling to not stumble over her words like she usually does when stressed), but the sight of the stolen book makes a guard ask “Are you sure about that?”

Asha and Star’s great escape: Retreating back into the woods, Asha becomes overwhelmed by all that’s happening. More than anything, she’s hurt that Rosas has turned against them so easily. Unlike before "This Wish," where she kept herself from breaking down, she lets it all out here. "It's hopeless," she mutters. Star consoles her and reminds her of the journal. Realizing there might still be a chance, Asha says they’ll need to find another way to the castle through the forest. Star transforms into a horse and they run off. The rest of this plays out much like the “To Rosas” deleted scene, minus the presence of Valentino, Amaya's cat, and Star talking of course. Shapeshifting hijinks ensue while escaping Amaya and the accompanying guards, resulting in the pair landing in the water and Asha riding Star who has turned into a dolphin. Amaya hurries back to the castle.

Splitting up; Star frees prisoners: After making it to shore, the two search the outer areas of the castle for a different way in. Orion/Star finds one by accident (Asha: “You know, you have a talent for finding secret entrances.”) and they get inside. Asha tells him to free everyone in the dungeon and she’ll retrieve the journal. Orion/Star does NOT like his idea and grabs her hand worryingly. Asha explains that she can’t risk Magnifico getting to him. He’s a star, so the king will in all probability kill him. She’s steadfast in her decision, despite knowing the odds are “realistically” against her, and soon parts from him. He’s still anxious about this split-up, but he goes to the dungeon anyway. There, he sees everyone who was imprisoned earlier, Dahlia now included. He finds the key and frees them. He notices Simon and puts together that he was the one who ratted out Asha. He gives the young man a disappointed glare, but still frees him and proceeds to lead everyone out via the way he and Asha broke in.

Asha vs. Magnifico: Asha enters the wish room and goes to open the door to the secret chamber until she hears a voice behind her: “Looking for something?” It’s Magnifico! And he’s holding the journal! There’s a tense back-and-forth between them, with Asha saying that she knows why he and the previous rulers have hidden Rosas’ history with the stars: because they gave people hope and drive, and the royals couldn’t stand the fact that the residents weren’t looking to them for guidance as much. “The wish granting, stringing us along with the promise of making our wishes come true… all these years, it was never about being caring leaders. It was about control.” When she mentions exposing the truth, Magnifico states that will never happen. “Besides, who are they going to believe: their benevolent king and queen or a bitter peasant? Be realistic.” (there’s also a horrifying implication that the royals have killed people who tried to bring back the “look to the stars” philosophy in the past) He starts attacking her with magic via his staff, which she manages to evade… at first. He reveals the wishes he had accused her of destroying and breaks them one-by-one, absorbing their power and becoming stronger. Amaya arrives and informs her husband of Star’s existence. He demands to know where he is and when Asha refuses to say anything, the royal couple decide to either torture the info out of her or get him to come to them by hurting her. Magnifico hands the journal to Amaya for safekeeping before starting to torture Asha with his magic. All throughout, she fearlessly taunts them, calling them “jealous cowards.”

Star joins the fight: Outside, Orion/Star and the others have successfully escaped and are gathered with the townspeople. They see commotion going on in the high point of the castle (the light of Magnifico’s magic staff is hard to miss lol) and Orion/Star watches worriedly. Sakina and Sabino inquire about Asha’s whereabouts and his continual staring up at the castle answers their question. Despite Asha telling him to stay away, he can’t take it anymore and ditches his human disguise to zip past everyone and fly up to the wish room as fast as he can. He saves Asha from another torturous magic blast, staring daggers at the king and queen. He’s pissed; we’ve never seen him this angry before. What follows is a good couple vs. evil couple fight, with Star trying to get the journal from Amaya and Asha trying to get the staff from Magnifico. Close calls and hijinks from Star’s magic ensue. In the process, the dome ceiling gets blasted and giant shards of it are sent falling to the city below. Thankfully, the townspeople manage to avoid it (Simon is shown helping people get out of the way thus displaying true bravery). Star is able to retrieve the journal and tosses it far out of Amaya’s reach. Enraged by the young duo, Magnifico attacks Star with his staff. Asha tries one last time to get it away from him, but he throws her hard against one of the mirrors on the wall, knocking her out. Star sees this and retaliates with all he’s got. Magnifico soon incapacitates him and Amaya suggests that instead of killing him, they should use him. “Such immense power shouldn’t go to waste, darling.” Magnifico remembers an absorption spell from the journal and tests it out, absorbing a lot of light from Star’s body into the top part of the staff. It’s incredibly painful for Star, and he’s left weak and dimly lit afterwards. Magnifico thanks his wife for the idea and prepares to absorb the last of Star.

Asha defeats Magnifico and Amaya: Asha wakes up and sees Star on the ground, no longer bright and struggling to move. Shaking, she tries to stand up and utters a desperate “Star…” before she’s shot by Magnifico’s staff again. “Wait your turn,” he growls gleefully. Exhausted and in pain, she looks to Star who meets her gaze. In spite of his condition, he smiles at her and musters enough energy to create a heart with a small amount of star dust; a final declaration of love. The king and queen prepare to absorb the rest of Star. Asha suddenly notices the mirror shards scattered around her. She then looks behind her and sees what’s left of the large mirror she was slammed into. An idea is forming… Magnifico and Amaya say the absorption spell again in unison while holding hands. Star is too weak to move or fight back. Just as the staff’s magic shoots out, Asha jumps in front of Star, large chunk of mirror in hand, with a defiant “NO!” The magic hits the mirror and bounces back to Magnifico and Amaya. The force is strong, but Asha maintains a hold on the mirror. The royal couple fruitlessly try to fight the magic and are ultimately absorbed into the staff. It’s a horrific yet cathartic sight. The staff falls to the ground and all Asha can do is exhale deeply.

Despite valiant efforts from the soldiers, we return from the battlefield empty handed and bloody.

Grady beat Brant.

I don't usually like to use strong language, but I am immeasurably disappointed and disheartened by the choices made by select members of this fandom. In the years I've spent within this space, I'd come to think of us as intellectuals, as visionaries, as those with the critical skills necessary to engage with the world around us in a deeper, more meaningful way than others. This space was a beacon of hope, where I knew my peers would engage with the media we found each other over in a productive and incisive manner.

Would there be chaos and fun mixed in with that? Of course. Analysis and academia are not complete without the full spectrum of possibilities, and the joy reaped from our descents into pageantry and madness are critical to our well-being and community. Those denying our intellectual nature in favor of the delights fail to realize they accompany each other, that they aren't exclusive. But I thought when it truly mattered, our efforts would be made with the clarity of a greater purpose. With the truth in mind: that Grady is not, and never will be, a sexyman.

I have been let down by this group of people I only yesterday was so proud to call my friends, my mutuals, my community. I hope the 52% of you who voted incorrectly, letting your hearts and minds be corrupted by biased, wishful thinking can take some time to reflect on your actions. And to do better next time.

Grady is not my sexyman.

(this is 100% not serious and is poking fun)

#kotlc #keeper sexyman 2023 #quil's queries #camelspit #i am disappointed by the outcome #and I do not trust those of you who voted grady--a /dilf/ NOT a sexyman #but hey. i cannot change the outcome now #i'm going to be not normal about brant now out of spite #he's the true sexyman #all these sillies voting grady have clouded judgement :( hope they get better soon :(#(again. want to be very clear this is all in good fun. please don't take this seriously)

As someone who has a very 'laissez-faire' style when it comes to clothing, there is something so special about a yandere dressing you up, molding your appearance so that there is no doubt you're the perfect fit. I barely throw my outfits together, even when I go out for the night, how exciting would it be to have it all match? From the underwear to jewelry, daywear to sleepwear- if they care enough, you’ll have a special outfit for every single outing they could take you to (if you aren’t stuck in the basement until further notice, that is). Doesn't matter if they're more on the stylish side like Mirko and Hawks or prim and proper like Nighteye or Overhaul. Especially with someone who has the means to splurge on you and will do so with glee. Sure, some hold it over your head that you need a new coat - but some will find nothing but utter delight in treating you like their little dress-up doll. After all, there is the matter of you trying on every single garment and them being able to either ogle you shamelessly- or downright grope you, obviously finding faults with how the fabric fits around your shoulders, ass, legs.

One might just enjoy seeing you squirm around while you’re ordered to twirl and twist, another genuinely gushes over how good you look. One takes pride in having everything match with them, the other might try to veer your style into something entirely unexpected, might try to turn you into their perfect fantasy. And then you have the ones who either don’t care for getting you clothes or simply can’t afford a huge wardrobe. For them, keeping you naked or minimally clothed is an option as well, one that might be just perfect.

#omg please tell me what your fave yan would do/what type they are!! i really wanna hear it #yandere bnha #tw.yandere #tw.kidnapping #at least a mention #sooooo... can we talk about all might would dress you to the nines? man's SO the type to do that. also sir gets you everything to match #*how #you'd be the kinda creepy couple... if anyone gets to see you that is haha. but seriously. if you wear glasses he 100% gets you a yellow #pair as well lmao. at least yellow accents. you have to match MATCH #and dabi. doesn't care. gets you new underwear if you beg right. but other than that. the clothes you got on you or his shirts. and if those #don't fit. he miiiight just buy you a couple that do. but you better be more than grateful hehe. makes a big deal out of it for sure #mirko though. loves to dress you. matching - but in themes and outfits not in the twinning sense #i don't peg her as a kidnapping yan so i think she'd show you off on her insta #she'd absolutely burn your old wardrobe and redress you from the ground up. even the socks you wear will be fcking gucci #you're gonna look so expensive and cute together... too bad your girlfriend is a manipulative lovesick celebrity #who isn't afraid to hurt you sometimes.... whoop #licherally you know what i do when i go out? throw on a braless top and some platforms some hoops and a cute purse #sir would be so.... disappointed 😂

an update

Actually I am still upset a majority of the people in the fandom just ignored my pinned post. Like me posting again isn't me suddenly forgetting or anything, I'm just genuinely trying to carve out a space for myself again in this fandom again but I'm genuinely struggling to do that knowing that a majority (overwhelming amount actually) of people in this fandom continue to stan her and are okay with alienating me and other black and fans of color as a result. Which is ironic given the fact that this series is hailed as extremely diverse in its setting and characters and yet the fandom is still so racist and overwhelming white (or subscribed to white supremacy) that their go-to artist for their playlists for characters is a woman who dated a neo-nazi because "she's an amazing songwriter." I promise you Iko and Cinder would not be streaming (or even give a fuck about) Evermore.

A similar thing happened in the fandom in 2015 when Taylor Swift started feuding with Nicki Minaj because she mistook Nicki's critique on the music industry marginalizing Black female artists as an attack on her. Swifties (and lunartics) reblogged on my dash calling Nicki Minaj a g*r*lla and other antiblack slurs I'm not going to list and that caused me to distance myself from the fandom.

So seeing 7 years later this fandom, with brand new people, who are still Swifties, ignore and pretend Taylor never dated who she did, and then continue to openly stan and love characters who are of said race that were harmed by her, displayed extreme cognitive dissonance and made me lose my fucking mind respectively.

I just don't want anyone in the fandom to look at themselves and have the audacity to call themselves an ally to ANY minority if they GENUINELY continue to stan Taylor Swift at this point. You had an opportunity to openly support a black woman who was hurt by your actions in this fandom and not only did you ignore me, you kept stanning this woman who has, to this day, never addressed or taken accountability for who she dated.

And if you run to that blogger asking her opinion on this, I don't care. At the end of the day, other women of color who continued to ignore TS actions implicitly side with her racism and her racist fans and continue to harm and marginalize black women.

And if you see this post as me "complaining," fuck you.

Thank you to the 2 people of color who reached out to me and talked to me about this. It means so much more than I could put into words and thank you for holding space for me.

Ultimately, I've chosen to stay and continue being active because I refuse to let a fandom overlap ruin my experience while I'm here, and know I can still find and build community here that doesn't interact with TS.

#mine #also PLEASE reblog this I want as many people as possible to see this and seriously think about their actions #the lunar chronicles #YES IM TAGGING IT SO EVERYONE IN THE FANDOM CAN SEE IT. IF I AM TERRORIZED BY TS YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS TOO #thank you ellie you were probably my realest friend in this fandom #and realkaidertrash21 thank you for talking to me #very very very disappointed. but this is easy for people to ignore #since they don't have to take any accountability if they don't want to #but I promise you I am not the only person who feels hurt #I am just the most vocal #text #had to edit this because this is misleading

more marcus headcanons?

Thank you for asking, Anon! Yes I do have headcanons >:)

(prepare for me looking way too deep into things)

I'm a very big fan of the theory/headcanon that Marcus' eyebrow raise is him turning off the safety on his heat vision

I really like how it changes the context of his eyebrow moments from

"haha I'm so smug and evil >:)"

"This situation is escalating, so I'm getting ready to attack you if you become aggressive + haha I'm so smug and evil >:)""

it kind of gives off the idea it might be out of anxiety

because him raising his eyebrows is a survival reflex.

okay next one

I think Marcus' body is made of aluminum

because

Marcus is waterproof in canon and aluminum is resistant to corrosion

Marcus' body uses hydraulics to move and aluminum is used often in hydraulics and robotics because it's lightweight

he has heat vision and fireballs/energy spheres that come from his hands and aluminum can withstand extreme temperatures

NOT ONLY THAT, but Metal detectors need to have certain settings changed to detect aluminum over other metals, so that's why Leo's metal detector didn't detect Marcus

on that note, I like to think he's like a terminator and that he's got "living tissue over a metal endoskeleton" so his outside is flesh and blood, and the inside is all robotic

because I would honestly HATE to think he has plastic skin and artificial hair. That really bothers me fhdjfjk

The living parts of Marcus are Douglas' DNA for sure

Which goes really well with my headcanon that Marcus was designed to look like young Donald

Douglas just, casually reverse engineering his genetic code in order to make his surrogate robot son look like his brother

I also think that Marcus' bionic intelligence is what gives him his sentience. Like, a lot of himself comes from his programming, but I think the bionic intelligence gives him the ability to learn and adapt, and have negative emotions.

There's no way Douglas would design one of his creations to defy him, but he can't really control how Marcus uses his bionics. So that's kind of my reasoning for that plot-fix

I have more headcanons, but these are the ones I was thinking of off the top of my head since it's been a while since I thought about Lab Rats lore. Let me know if y'all want another of these! Or headcanons of other characters!

#he is fun to talk about when I'm not actively watching the show and then I watch a marcus episode and I'm like #'oh right he's the sitcom equivalent of boba fett'#I.E. his potential was amazing and then he died pathetically #gonna quote myself here:#when I actually rewatch Marcus episodes I'm always a little disappointed when I remember that in practice #his character falls flat compared to everyone else.#He's kind of a one dimensional villain that only becomes interesting in the moments leading up to his demise #or in lore bits that we have to infer from throw away lines.#end quote #still stan him though #we love a guy who dies again and again and again #lot of t-boy swag you can fit in that guy #marcus davenport #lab rats #please don't take this too seriously! these are just my scattered fun little thoughts that are subject to change!

"There is hope as long as you live."

My notes on themes of depression and found family in New Life Begins

Spoilers for New Life Begins ep. 24-25

CW: childbirth, depression, postpartum, attempted suicide.

Just finished episode 25 of New Life Begins, and I was NOT prepared for the absolute chaos of found family breaking all of the rules to save their depressed friend from dying.

The raw emotion. The sheer absurdity of Yin Qi threating to hurt himself if they don't let him take the physician to see his friend. The way you can tell Li Wei dove into the water to save her friend bc she's soaking wet. Zhao Fang Ru telling the maid not to cry just minutes before having her own breakdown. Because crying would be admitting defeat, and she isn't about to let Hao Jia die, and yet... she can't stop her own tears. And of course, Yin Zheng showing up just in time. Holding a sword to his brother's throat so the others can run in and help Hao Jia.

It's all so melodramatic and bordering on ridiculous, but I LOVE it. Despite the DRAMA, it's so real and relatable and moving. Let me explain...

As someone who is mentally ill, I was so impressed with how they depicted Hao Jia's depression. The self-loathing. The feelings of incompetence. The belief that you deserve your fate bc of the mistakes you made. I have never given birth or suffered from postpartum depression, but so much of what Hao Jia feels mirrors my own experience with depression.

Which is why I was so moved by her friends and their absolute REFUSAL to stand by and do nothing while she suffered. While she was dying.

Li Wei running from the carriage when she realizes what Hao Jia might do...

Shang Guan Jing saying "From this day forth, we're her family who will back her up." (Ep. 24) And taking up her spear when she hears that Hao Jia's dying, claiming she'll take the physician there by force if she has to.

The 5th and 6th prince feeling powerless but doing everything they possibly can, from angering their father and going against their brother, the Crown Prince. Threatening violence even. All to help save Hao Jia. (I know people will argue that it's bc they want to help their wives, but I think it goes beyond that. Bc they seem seriously concerned about Hao Jia too. They're worried about her).

Zhao Fang Ru gripping Hao Jia's hand as she lays on the bed, cold and getting colder, pleading "Do you hear me? Open your eyes and talk to me. Hao Jia!" Using every tactic at her disposal, even threatening Hao Jia that if she dies, she'll take it out on her child. (I don't think she would actually hurt Hao Jia's child. I DO think Zhao Fang Ru is desperate enough to say anything if she thinks it will wake Hao Jia, and keep her from letting go).

I have a confession to make. While I have always hated the role of "damsel in distress," there's a part of me that has always wanted to be rescued.

When I played by myself as a child, I would imagine scenarios where I was in danger and someone would save me. Interestingly, whenever I played with my friends, I hated when it was my turn to be rescued in our games. But when I was alone, when I couldn't pretend to be the strong hero...

Maybe that's why I always appreciate stories like this. Where someone who is alone and scared has a support system that will do anything to take care of them. Will fight and scream and rage if it means saving them. It doesn't fix everything, and it doesn't always cure them, but it's beautiful. It fills me with wonder. I think that's why found family is a favorite trope of mine. People finding each other and caring for each other. Fighting the odds together.

At the end of episode 25, Hao Jia is surrounded by her friends. She says, "I heard about all the things you did for me. I've failed you."

To which Li Wei replies, "As long as you live, we will do anything. You were unhappy because you were ill. Take good care of yourself and recover. Your life comes before anything else, understood?"

Yuan Ying adds, "If you ever need help, you must let us know."

"Right," says Shang Guan Jing. "We are all here for you. Don't shoulder everything on your own."

They all look up to see that it's dawn. The sun rises, and sunlight filters in through the window and touches each of their faces.

And I'm crying. Because for so long, I felt like Hao Jia. I felt alone, and I felt like I deserved to be alone. But like her, I also have friends who care for me and don't want me to suffer in silence.

The internet says this show is a historical romantic COMEDY btw. And yeah, most of the show has been fairly light-hearted. There's romance, family, politics, and food. LOTS of delicious food.

Don't get me wrong. It still has funny moments (I wasn't kidding when I said parts of this show are absurd), but I'm pleasantly surprised to discover the show also wants to tackle serious issues.

Whatever else this show may be, for me, it's about these friends and how they've become a family. It's beautiful, and I'm in love.

To everyone out there struggling with depression, I leave you with this line from Li Wei, "There is hope as long as you live."
