The ring was small and silver with a single emerald embedded in the metal.

It wasn’t something flashy, it probably cost less than the smallest gem from his vault all together.

But it was perfect.

Which made it so heartbreaking to turn it down.

“Dick.. you know me so well.. I wish I could take this ring, i really do.”

Dick was still on one knee in the little apartment, but he put the small box down on the floor as he asked.

“Then what’s stopping you?”

Danny let out a bitter chuckle,

“The US government.”

#so your boyfriend warned you that he had died when he was 14 #when you first got serious #you thought it was so you understood he may have health problems later due to complications #in reality #The government thinks your boyfriend is nonsentient and non-sapient #welp you now have things to do #dick:… it’s.. a… temporary set-back!#dick: It's a momentary lapse But conveniently my ego doesn't bruise #writing prompt #dp x dc #danny fenton #dc x dp #shipping #dick grayson #dead of night #ghost circus #The US government: why do i hear boss music

Prompt 100

“What are you, a Kent?”

It’s a saying in the world of the supernatural. A well-known one even. See, several, many generations back, no one quite knows when, the Kent family managed to run afoul of a particularly nasty creature who laid a curse upon them. The original wording, no one quite knows either, but the gist, everyone is aware of. For no firstborns will be born to them before they already have one.

It was supposed to be airtight in a way, a curse that would end the entire bloodline really. For a child to exist before they could have a child? How could that be?

Well. That curse had… backfired. It had backfired massively. Most, at least back when blood was everything, didn’t exactly ponder things like adoption to those outside of their own bloodline. The Kents however, lived in a very simple village, one that had disease spread through it often back then, leaving families childless and children parentless.

What were they to do but take them in? And so they had a son, many sons and daughters even, before their firstborn. Now of course, most would simply dismiss it afterwards. After all, that was the end of the story, isn’t it?

Well, no. See, the curse was a family-line curse, a just in case perhaps, that meant that each generation could not have any children until they had children. Perhaps it should have ended there, but well. It didn’t.

Kents are a strange breed in the world of the supernatural, known for having a… bit of an adoption problem. If any child or babe were to be left near their land, one can be assured the family line would take them in as their own.

Fae, demon, human, changeling, satyr, cyclops, half-breeds, werewolf- it didn’t matter. A Kent would gladly pick the child up and raise it as their own. And now, they could add aliens to that long, long list in the family line.

And really, perhaps with this context, is it really surprising that when one Clark Kent, said alien, opens his door to a basket on his doorstep holding a trio of godlings, he takes them in with no questions asked?

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is #i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good #it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them!#it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive #tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little #irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny #and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately #reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women #who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music'#to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their #personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny #i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit #among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me.#but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere #from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy #anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem #but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in.#anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3 #taylor swift

NO WAY WE WON FIRST PLACE IN MUSIC

#AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #okay so rant time.txt #i really rocked my whole heart out i kid you not the pick almost fell out of my hand i was playing so hard #when we got offstage the teacher just went “AMAZING playing ahana”#and everyone told me i looked like a rockstar #then when the prize distribution ceremony thing happened i was so scared but!!!!! we won first place!!!!!!#i'm totally normal about this. btw #and then the vice principal. the VICE PRINCIPAL FUCKING PULLED ME ASIDE AND TOLD ME THAT I PLAYED AMAZINGLY WELL #and when we got onstage to take our prize the teacher who told me i had played really well said “i KNEW you'd win first place”#after getting the prize i showed it to *her* wink wink nudge nudge #and i thought she'd be uninterested bc last year we won second prize and she was kinda detached about the whole thing #but this time the moment she saw me she had this huge grin on her otherwise serious face and when i told her we were first #she was so HAPPY #ARE WE GETTING SOMEWHERE????WHAT????#brainhasstoppedworking.exe #i lied i'm not fucking normal about this

i like how the american dad fandom collectively headcanons that roger had terrible, ab//sive parents back on his home planet

like take a look at this goofy alien guy: hes an alc//h//lic, he has traits of a multiple personality disorder, hes an addict, he has very clear abandonment issues and went on a family bender, he smokes; all those things right there are DEFINITELY trauma responses like he clearly has LOTS of trauma he isnt properly dealing with

he even keeps his dad in the smiths freezer and takes a bite of it every year on his bday for gods sake like he aint right in the head

#ik ik rog is an asshole a lot of the times and you shouldnt use trauma as an excuse for your actions-#and the whole ‘his species needs to be mean to survive’ thing-#but CLEARLY hes dealing with some serious issues here #like what has my babey boy been through?!???#istg if they dont make a decent roger backstory in the near future i am going to loose it #i need his backstory so badly 😭😭😭#i am happy though with the tidbits of his life here and there in the series #i like to think that the smiths have tried to get roger the help he needs multiple times like in family affair-#but he dismisses it says hes too ‘superior’ for it or goes once and thinks everything is fixed #i also like to think that when rog first came to the smiths and they treated him like the rest of the family-#he was taken aback at first bcuz he wasnt used to such kindness and hospitality from caregivers #i could go on and on with this but i wont lol #i could write a freaking novel based on hcs and theories i have regarding this show #ive officially got ad brainrot yall #american dad #roger smith #ad talk

Succession | S02E02

#Gerri Kellman #Roman Roy #They've got some SERIOUS invisible-thread stuff going on!#Norman Bates would weep! Also I love how unlike most people (who usually move feet first) Roman gravitates towards Gerri downstairs-Ro firs #Also what do you mean he's the only one leaning on the back of a chair? So?#Gerri's right there. Practically in his arms. You can't expect him to stay up without some support can you?#The back of her chair is also the perfect way to somehow be in contact with her without actually being in contact with her.#It also serves as a good sturdy thing to hold on to so he doesn't just climb into her lap.#Also I love how protective he gets when Shiv mocks Gerri's suggestion. <3 #Succession #my gifs #I love these two so MUCH! <3 #I mean. Tenderly lovingly obscene is how I would describe Roman's starved hunger for Gerri on every level. <3 #Roman watch out or you'll poke her in the eye with it! :D

Short version: Trying to find a place I can rent longterm and that doesn't cost me an arm, leg, both kidneys and my spinal cord is frustrating. Especially when the person making the contract (when there is a contract), thinks they can blatantly fuck me over, despite stuff we agreed on verbally.

Long version:

Me: *gets a pricey option for renting a (somewhat fixer-upper) appartement in the main city, with the verbal deal of being able to get a main living address registered for the duration of 3 years I plan to rent (bcs having the main address there qualifies me for smth else I need)*

Me: *gets the money ready, but have to see the contract first before deciding to sign*

The agency dude, writing up the contract, likely assuming "the autistic girl and her mom probably won't read it well, they seem ready to go ahead and sign":

*writes that they are lowering the cost of rent for the duration of fixing up the kitchen and all other stuff I need to get done per agreement*

*writes that the owner agrees to a TEMPORARY address registration*

Me:

Conclusion: If the three sections written in this contract don't get changed before Thursday/Friday when we'll be signing the contract, they can keep that place.

I am not paying 500 rent + utilities for a temporary address while ALSO providing them with essentially a free kitchen because I get to live for a year or two in a fixer upper.

This better have been a typo, otherwise I will look him in the eye at the meeting and tell him that this is something I am not compromising on, and that he can freely give the place to the students that wanted to rent for just one year.

I do need support when communicating and setting up meetings like that, as well as having the stuff explained to me so I don't shut down in the middle of a meeting.

I am not dumb. And I do NOT need this appartement this much.

#vent #moca grumbles #I like the place. got kimd of excited even.#a friend even borrowed me some money so I can give the guarantee that I am serious about renting #but listen... that dude needs to stop fucking doing shit like this #I may be incredibly accomodating but FUCK THAT #we were originally supposed to meet up at 16 #I agreed to move it back to 17 but if the first word out of his mouth when I ask “main living address?'' isn't yes #then I am givinghim the most passive agressive thank you have a nice day naj te kura brcne kreten and fucking right on the bus

OMG you like moral orel?? who is your favorite character :]c *Blinking and fluttering my eyelashes beautifully*

i watched the whole thing in a few days, ended yesterday. My faves are nurse bendy and joe (together and as a unit), stephanie (individually and then as a unit with the reverend but i dont like him individually), + danielle, of course

#idk how to feel about it in general i know there was more planned but it got cancelled but it still ended too suddenly ykwim #i liked what we saw at the end with orel finding family elsewhere (before he grows up)#i like orel himself outside of the wacky edgy adult themes of it all as a Kid who is Good #when i was watching that last episode i got a bizarre kind of emotional bc when he first poses the Big Question i Knew #that the answer was that the only good thing abt his father was that he had a hand in making him #i get so sad with stories involving children like dis 😭#i feel like even if it was fully complete the show had more potential ykwim....i know the Tonal Shift makes the impact more...impactful #but i feel it cldve been handled differently or in different amounts. idk!#skunk mail #pawzcore #i also get its bc the eps are short but nature 1 and 2 didnt impact me the way it did others #like. idk. i knew beforehand it was the serious moment(s)/episode(s) but it wasnt presented in a way that #actually shifted My mood when watching it...clay's nonchalance from the eyes of me as a viewer #just comes off as humorous rather than serious ykwim? not that its funny but it doesnt feel high stakes at all #the whole thing didnt feel high stakes or serious unless u remove it from the context of the show youve been watching #for 2 seasons #its fucked up when you see it on paper but then in the show its different....if that makes sense

hi river !!! 🫶🫶 i may have asked you this already so please disregard this as i have but im thinking about trying to get into the sims for the first time again and was wondering if you knew of any masterposts or blogs to help get someone new to the sims started? either way thank you for your time & wishing you + ur ocs a good evening/day !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

hi jo <3 i’m so bad at answering stuff like this but thankfullyyyyy there's actually this gameplay guide on google docs i know of that links to some good gameplay mods along with editing resources, tips from other simblrs, and graphic mods! and you can look at resource pages that some simblrs have like nova’s resource page here for links to cc and mods that might make your game more lively.

as for personal recommendations i'd say to follow the “#ts4 gameplay, #ts4 cas, #ts4 story” tags, follow some cc finds blogs, and follow some other simblrs whose posts you like! i’d also say download ratboysims’ ratsave file to play in so the world looks more lively!! alongside getting the @.k-hippie terrain replacements for better world visuals (unless you dig the cartoony look of the sims worlds). also northernsiberiawinds’s better in-game lighting for your sims.

#river dipping #asks #ahaura #i don't think you've asked abt this before or if you did tumblr eviscerated your message before it got to my inbox </3 #i’m assuming you mean like… simblr.#unless you mean you’ve never played the sims and are totally unfamiliar……. in which case i’d say play the sims 3 first instead 😭#ts4 is notoriously not as good or complete as ts3 #mind you i’ve only played ts4 but i’m more into the game for oc reasons anyway #and can make my own fun even when the game’s uhhh. not very fun without gameplay mods #sorry if this isn’t helpful btw 😭 ik i only made this blog a year ago but i actually have been into ts4 since the demo dropped #so i kinda don’t. really remember what it was like to first try to get into the game…#ummm but there are a TON of videos on youtube about ts4 like there are tutorials and cc recs and mod walkthroughs #like the community is very helpful generally speaking so !!#also pirate the dlc… i’m being serious don’t spend money on a game that’s incomplete by design and to this day still has issues #hopefully this helps……….. 😭#i’m like half asleep typing this out so idk 🧍

why does everything i get really into always end up being so god damn niche. by the year 2035 i am going to be blogging exclusively about the interpersonal relationships between the pillbugs and snails hiding underneath the bricks lining the flowerbeds in my parent's garden.

#im falling hard into the virvox guys rn sowwy. i like em a lot hee hee. i didnt realize just how small the fanbase for em was tho #actually i didnt realize how small the company that makes them were either. i got so used to the yamahas and cryptons of the vsynth world #that i forgot that like honestly. a lot of the voicebank makers and some of the software makers themselves #theyre like companies of like barely 10 employees with like no funding LOL not a bad thing but i forgor #but yeah i was looking up to see if there was like. a fanon reason why people shipped takehiro and ryusei? not judging because i get it #i like took one look at the virvox guys and immediately slotted them as a very strange boyband (a catboy and a middle aged dragon man....)#and also took a second look at takehiro and ryusei and assumed they were childhood friends. i saw the doujin flash before my eyes #but also looking into it it seems the fanbase is also like. 20 people. and like 3 of them ship that #and at least one person ships whiteCUL and ryusei? why not LOL when it comes to vsynths sometimes a ship can be spearheaded by like #one very prolific artist HGDJKDFSHDJK which actually reminds me. honestly i dont really have many vsynth ships #i guess i dont really partake in a lot of shipping stuff deeply but i like romance!! you know i like love stories. you know this #i mean i keep calling the eclipsed sounds characters the celestial polycule for a reason tho. im not joking around about this #this is serious to me. they are stars and moons and suns and together they hang out and kiss. in the sky. this is serious to me #also i do like solaria x eleanor forte actually. its a bit random but i understand it. i understand it #and of course the aformentioned takehiro x ryusei. and also the whole virvox polycule. get that old man in here too #(what do they call people like me. a multishipper? i do that a lot. you know this from my otome game fanart LOL)#OH and i dont remember either of their names rn but i like that the cevio bank anju inami voiced has like a big fat crush on like #that girl with the brown hair. i like that theyre like. besties (turning into something more wink wonk)#thinks with all my brain. i think thats it. i dont know why theres so little. i think its because i think of them as like #audio sample libraries first and foremost and i forget about their characters and relationships LOL #but im not against the idea of making some audio sample libraries kiss...... not at all #picks up a guitar sampler and a sound effect cd. presses them together.#hee hee. they kiss

Is it me or did the quality go up. Like compare the scene they reanimated from the first OP. This one looks so much better

#tensura #that time i got reincarnated as a slime #in other words i watched the first episode. i already know what happens i just want to see it animated #as usual the opening spoils a fuckton of things but maybe if you havent read the manga you wont notice #veldora sulking in the background of a serious discussion was funny #a lot of [SPOILER] in the opening. i know they did this with the first one too but slow down #we have 2 volumes to go before the manga covers that #i had to check when that was and wow the mangas already finishing vol9/starting vol10 #the thing happens in vol11 btw #also with the amount of luminous hinata and [censored] im already starting to work on the relationship chart #this isnt even a love triangle this is a whole mess. a very entertaining one imo

“A man does not need to be a wizard to know truth from falsehood, not if he has eyes. You need only learn to read a face. Look at the eyes. The mouth. The muscles here, at the corners of the jaw, and here, where the neck joins the shoulders.” ... The next day they began the lying game, asking questions of one another, taking turns. Sometimes they would answer truly, sometimes they would lie. The questioner had to try and tell what was true and what was false.

--

“Then practice making faces. Beneath your skin are muscles. Learn to use them. It is your face. Your cheeks, your lips, your ears. Smiles and scowls should not come upon you like sudden squalls. A smile should be a servant, and come only when you call it. Learn to rule your face.” ... "Try it again on the morrow. You will find a Myrish mirror in the vaults. Train before it for an hour every day. Eyes, nostrils, cheeks, ears, lips, learn to rule them all.”

--

“She will teach you,” said the kindly man as the waif appeared outside her door. “Starting with the tongue of Braavos. What use are you if you cannot speak or understand? And you shall teach her your own tongue. The two of you shall learn together, each from the other. Will you do this?” ... Thereafter she and the waif spent their time together touching things and pointing, as each tried to teach the other a few words of her own tongue. Simple words at first, cup and candle and shoe; then harder words; then sentences.

--Arya II, AFFC

Arya's educational set-ups are so potent in just her first chapter within the House of Black and White. Learning how to detect and tell lies, learning to master her facial expressions, and learning new languages are all extremely useful and versatile skills. George doesn't just have characters learning skills without intending them to be used either. Arya's lessons with Syrio + learned observational skills are integral to her evading capture in AGOT, what she observes and learns in Harrenhal helps her to plan her escape in ACOK, etc.

It's also interesting that some of her lessons are almost supplementary to what she's learned on her journey so far. Arya has already shown keen observation skills and the ability to read people's temperaments, so learning how to read deeper and detect lies feels like a nice extension of that. Same with her ability to conform her behavior to her environment, learning the importance of facial expressions and how to "rule her face" feels like the next step. Learning languages is new but also complementary to both skills. Her development is getting taken to the next level and I'm really looking forward to seeing how her new skills will be utilized.

#arya stark #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #faceless men #what she's currently learning about is so interesting to me considering what she's already accomplished #I like that we got two books of her mostly on her own and figuring things out before we have her being more guided #cause there's a lot that she's already learned on her own but it would be unrealistic for her to learn everything without guidance #and she's not just learning in a controlled environment her lessons are being actively put to the test #just annoying that people reduce her skills to sword fighting when that's arguably her least valuable skill #and again this is just her first chapter with them and what she actively started learning...there are a lot more mentions+lessons incoming #I'm being so serious when I say she really has the potential to be a political powerhouse #the vision when you don't just reduce a character to one single trait
