Prompt 84

Amity Park absolutely adores her little ghostling, her little Gatekeeper who was of her own ectoplasm, reborn from her own blood in the center of her new heart. She absolutely adores her baby, practically a newborn, being only a year dead! 

So of course she had to gush and boast about her little phantom to the other city spirits! They all got together to gossip sometimes after all. And both Smallville and Fawcett started to gush about their own little ones back! 

Gosh they should set up a playdate at some point, her little phantom could use some friends in the mortal realm. Well some more friends, three is obviously not enough. Oh, Gotham and Bludhaven have come over as well! It’s a playdate then! 

Now if only each of their world’s timelines were synced up, but at least everyone is around the same age! 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #City Children Au #Prompts #Each city is from a different timeline lol #Bruce is an angy 16 year old vigilante and was Not prepared to be the oldest #Dick hasn't told them his birthday #and isn't revealing he's older than this Bruce by a few months #Clark is just happy to make friends and he brought pie! his ma and him made it! #Dick is wheezing at these itty bitty versions of Bruce and Clark- this is great and hilarious and oh god he has to protect them #Billy is chanting to do it whenever someone has a Bad Idea- He's just become the Champion of Magic & the gods encourage it #Danny is delighted to have more friends and he's not the oldest Or the youngest so yay! #they're having fun #lots of fun in all their timelines and in the realms too #if they get in trouble they call their city-parents #“Alfred says I'm a polite young man. He also says that if someone tries to grab me to use my teeth” #“Sounds about right” “Mood” “Biting is always good” “But what about diseases??” #“Hey Danny you like alien stuff right- do you think you can help me and the others translate this it came from the ship i was on” #“Omg Billy you should teach us mortal magic and we can teach you are stuff” #Dick: I don't wanna be the responsible one so I'm going to encourage them all to be Worse :) #At some point the squad is going to end up in some other timeline and confuse the fuck out of the JL lol #dick grayson #danny fenton #billy batson #clark kent #bruce wayne

The generational progression of team dynamics is truly so funny to me.

You have the Justice League and they're all coworkers. They're friendly and polite with each other but they don't really hang out together outside of work. Two of them might transcend the work friend dynamic and buddy up outside of work (i.e Barry and Hal or Ollie and Hal or Bruce and Clark) but you will never see all of them casually hanging out for fun.

Then there's the Titans. These guys are friends. They all have busy lives so they maybe don't see each other as much as they'd like to but they're all deeply bonded with each other. They make a point of planning big get togethers with each other unrelated to work. They know each other's deepest secrets. Their kids consider the other Titans aunts and uncles.

Last but not least there's Young Justice. Young Justice is the definition of unhealthy codependency. They're all best friends and they act like siblings but they might also all be in love with each other? Kon dated Cassie, hit on Cissie, flirted with Bart's clone and had a dream where Bart was in a cheerleading outfit and was with his other love interests and then just everything with Tim. Cassie dated both Tim and Kon, and then there's everything with Cissie. Bart admitted that Cassie made him 'like girls' (?), took Cissie to a dance, and is extremely close with Tim and Kon to the point where it could just be unhealthy codependency but it might be something more. Honestly this entire group is so intermixed and codependent it's insane. They go from 'i love you so much you are my best friend' to 'i wanna make out with you' so fast and with barely any breathing room. They are constantly with each other and hang out at least once a week. They cannot exist separately.

#the Justice League is so funny to me because theres hal and barry who are actually friends and hang out together #and like ollie and hal #but the rest of them probably don't even know what each others favorite food is #they are there to do a job not to make friends #they are nice and polite because it is good for the work environment #then the Titans are just a realistic protrayal of friends #they have lives outside of each other and try to meet up frequently but sometimes life gets in the way #but they're still close and they still love each other #they're like high school friends who all moved away for university and see each other on summer break #then theres YJ who are like trauma bonded and cling to each other and are feral animals when separated #like seriously its unhealthy #its a fantastic dynamic to read and it makes sense for them but do not do this irl it is not a good actual dynamic #dc #dc comics #Titans #teen titans #justice league #young justice #young just us

Hey I hope this is okay to ask. I saw that you sent the Sandman Big Ban a ask about the faq. Are you satisfied with their reply? I don't know if this is really common and if I should participate

Hey nonnie, that's entirely fine to ask yes!

Short answer: no, I'm not.

Long answer, giving a few reasons with none of my snark being aimed at you personally:

This is how it's done. No, this is absolutely not standard practise - I can name you at least 5 bangs off the top of my head that do not, in fact, do this. Including content restrictions is very much a choice that the mods are making, whether it also is their private opinion or not. None of those other bangs have problems matching, which brings me to:

No PWP: first of all, their word count requirement is incredibly low at 6k, and claiming that authors would struggle to hit that with "porn only"? That's, I'm sorry, ridiculous, not to mention condescending as hell - authors are perfectly capable estimating whether they can hit goals or not with whatever plot (or lack thereof) they are writing.

Artists/betas won't want to claim, or need to know what they get into: First of all, there is a huge bunch of amazing nsfw art and artists in this fandom who, I'd assume, would be happy to make nsfw/dark art. Second of all: have authors provide content notes/warnings for the claiming process, problem solved.

We're not banning dark/nsfw content, just any glorification of it: Right. And who decides what's glorifying? Do they vet this during sign ups? Claiming? Might I end up submitting a fic and get it pulled? Do I have to provide personal information about my trauma to be "allowed" to write dark content in a certain kind of way? This is a slippery slope at best. It is also massively hypocritical because, you'll notice, there are no such restrictions when it comes to violence or murder etc. It gives big ole "I can excuse the eye-eating serial killer, but I'll draw the line at porn" vibes which is a staple of anti culture.

On the above point, it is also worth noting that the entire argument is moot to begin with because even if it is "glorifying" or "romanticizing" it literally does not matter. It's fiction. It's not real. Tag your shit, give warnings during the claiming process, and it's fine. Everything else is cuddling up to censorship, there is no middle ground to be had here. (Which is arguably very ironic considering both the source material and the source material author's stance on such things. Yes I'm salty as fuck about this. Anyway).

All this is to make the event "more accessible." This is, frankly, absolute goddamn bullshit. If people warn properly for their content, and if in the context of a discord server for the fest you have designated spaces to talk about nsfw and/or dark content, people are perfectly capable of curating their experience, what they engage with or not. Conversely, banning content, considering yourself as mods an authority on what is and isn't glorification, is not only condescending as hell, it also makes your fest, in fact, less accessible for anyone who a) wants to write such content, or b) simply is not a fan of censorship vibes in their fandom spaces.

So long story short, I'm the opposite of satisfied and will absolutely not participate. People are, of course, welcome to run their events however they want. I am, of course, perfectly in my rights to run my own big bang without all this nonsense, which is something I am considering doing because I love big bangs, and hate the thought of relinquishing the fest format to something so inaccessible. 😉

#answered asks #anonymous #mona rambles #look i usually stay out of drama but I *refuse* not pushing back against this normalisation of censorship bullshit like. this is ridiculous #like obviously leave them alone about it - i asked politely i got my answer i will simply ignore their existence now #which is also why I am neither reblogging their response nor tagging them #but yeah me and friends are poking at doing our own bang and i also know people on the dreamling server are planning to run a ship-specific #* one #(altho i do not know whether they plan on having content restrictions) #anyway! all that to say this fandom is still young and there will be options and not engaging with stuff that seems fishy to you is always #a good idea <3 #fandom wank

Oh man I looked at the notes on that evolution & Christianity poll (a mistake, clearly), like, how can so many people be so fkin stupid. Yes thats mean of me to say but. Y'all are really out here being strict biblical literalists?? Not even most of the early christian theologians & church fathers were strict biblical literalists?? There is no historical basis to being an extreme literalist abt the bible?? Presumably you received SOME sort of education and can read and think critically?? You can't ALL have been raised in an information restrictive cult??

99% of the time im ready to throw hands with Catholicism because oh boy we have beef and I hate it here, but at least we're not Like That TM.

Oh Fr Georges Lemaître, father of the Big Bang Theory, we're really in it now.

#not to dunk on my Protestant friends ily #but like. protestantism is one hell of a drug. holy shit #like do i think ultimately what you believe about the evolution is the end of the world. no #BUT it indicates underlying literalist thinking which leads to problems that ACTUALLY affevt everyday life #and also just. deliberate ignorance. conspiracy theory thinking #not to b like. one thing leads to another. but these r definitely related patterns of thinking #and as much as im like. I fuckin hate catholics #its current western catholics that i rlly hate #theres at least a long history of intellectual freedom and science #yes at times obvs limited and repressed. but at least its not yknow. literalism. i would fuckin die #are yall really out here thinking abt literal adam and eve and creation in 7 days. really. REALLY? #altho. i went to hs with a young earth creationist who thot dinos and humans existed at the same time #so why. am i not surprised anymore #anyway yeah individual catholics are largely insane and i will fistfight trads #but at least like. INSTITUTIONALLY. we're allowed space to think and question #doctrinally thats allowed. even if trads refuse it in practice #ho ho holy shit yall #deadass did not think there was a significant amount of biblical literalists and creationists on TUMBLR of all places #both atheists and trads who think religion and science are fundamentally opposed. #think again. u r all. dummies. i am too tired to be polite abt it #im tired of ppl with no thinking skills <-its elections here today im extra full of rage #mrk saunders can catch my hands ALSO #i saw someone say that theres no basis to interpret the bible as allegorical #as if everytime Jesus said a parable ans the apostles took it literally #he had to sit them down and be like #boys. i love u. stop being stupid. its an allegory for the people. #WHAT THE FUCK IS A PARABLE IF NOT AN ALLEGORICAL INSTRUCTIVE STORY #genuinely. maybe i am naive. but deadass thot the adam and steve crowd thing was a joke. not a genuine argument against the gays #or at the very least a rare opinion blown out of proportion #ARE YALL OK IN PROTESTANT MAJORITY AREAS???????

i'm giving guadalajara too much shit but los pueblos negros (the black villages) are genuinely really freaking cool

also! my first experience with them was through an andrea compton video, cause she is from one of these villages!!! for those who don't know her, andrea compton is one of the most belovedests spanish youtubers, one of the ogs as well and i love her very much. anyways, she lived here until high school, where she went to live with her father in my hometown lol, in suburban madrid. so. pretty big change. i unfortunately cannot find her video, she might have just deleted it at this point - i watched it at least 10 years ago - but i found what her village is if you want to look it up, it's called roblelacasa, and as of 2016 it has 22 inhabitants. i remember she told in the video that she had to go to another village to go to school, and that in said school there were 6 kids in total, of course with different ages all together in the classroom.

#guadalajara #spain #also. and i feel obligated to say this every time i talk about andrea compton or inés hernand but it's the only good thing i can say #about my hometown #but not only did she live near me. the high school she went to is the one that's next to my house. like the park in front of the hs was #the park i went to when i was a kid #which most likely means i met andrea compton and inés hernand when they were teens and i was a kid #cause all the kids from that high school also go to that park #and for those who don't knw #inés hernand is like. one of the most important people in this country i would say??? at least among young people #she studied law but she's mostly a tv presenter nowadays and she is like. extremely political extremely leftist extremely funny #i love her #well they've talked thousands of times how andrea and her met on the first day of high school and became best friends and how tehy've been #inseparable since #to think that happened next to where i live while i was living there just blows my mind lmao #and we've met andrea compton cause she's my sister's favourite youtuber like she's been following her since she was like 10 #in fact my sister was the one who showed me the video about her village #anyways we've met her twice in anime cons and also we've also met her a couple times more in concerts and stuff cause she's fan of stuff #we also love sjdsj #and every time we talk about my hometown and we know ehere her dad lives (very close to us) and she's confirmed the high school was that on #and yeah. she's very dear to my heart and i'm extremely happy everytime she gets recognition cause it's only what she deserves <3

i recently found some old rolling stone magazines at a local thrift and as i was showing my dad, i was flipping through the ‘99 brad pitt one and he made a comment about how “brad was wearing dresses before harry” (paraphrased in good faith, but also shock, because i still can’t get over how pop cultured by sixty-five year old father is…)

this generally is the discourse point many make when talking about how harry feminizes his expression and identity to the general public, and while i don’t think it’s necessarily a stan twitter talking point veering into a bible thumping lecture, or something that’s from bad faith collectively, it’s odd and mostly disheartening to see this be brought as a response when a masculine-presenting man (to the general eye; tattoos and heartthrob and muscles and all) chooses to wear a dress, or paint his nails, or wear some makeup, or make history and wear a dress on variety’s cover. because yes, people have down this before, and it’s not a “new” idea, but harry has never claimed to be the emblem of feminine men, nor the starter of men who wear dresses and dabble into a more feminine side for the sake of expression — or whatever the hell their reason is, because who cares!

my take on this is that just because people are gushing over harry doing this does not mean people are undermining the ones that did it before him. considering the backlash he got from popular and reactionary conservatives, harry’s success to be open and in touch with his feminine side has a very modern and appealing tenderness to becoming a representative for freedom of expression and these sexual and gender bending ideas in the form of appearance, clothes, etc… the right to be yourself and express that confidently, dammit. and yes, this begs the point that the people before harry have paved the way, but that reaction to harry also eerily reminds us the bigoted time we are living in, where the “silent majority” are fear mongering and pushing their agenda onto the public.

because yeah, maybe brad pitt (a known abuser) can’t reach a young man’s heart, but maybe harry can, and there’s nothing wrong with that: the approach at which harry does it at, or the feelings of that man at which he connects with certain people over others. praise the past, embrace the present.

it is also so fucking weird seeing inherently twitter talking points be spewed out of its echo chamber into my very fangirlish room. it collects dust as we speak.

#look away young twitter soldiers #also I'm very Not in the moment in conversations and didn't realize this until after and later when I sent a spark noted version of this #to a friend but I still cannot believe this is in contention for an everyday discourse lecture #especially when its not even harry but [insert man who likes cool clothes that happen to be traditionally feminine] #and just to add on that nothing has to be a social or political statement #some things can be Be. #harry styles #gender #sexuality #discourse #honorary brad Pitt tag because why not #but yes I do love that photoshoot I mean it's just so fucking cool

ya know what i find funny about the whole tory party gate thing ? Gen z & millennials get accused of recording everything / putting everything online but i stg all my relatives aged like 40-60 (ish) have their cameras out at far more occasions then people my age, like yeah young people have their phones out but usually just showing each other dumb memes or whatever but the older generation want pictures of everything to go on facebook man…anyway yeah idk just thoughts

#tory party gate #partygate #tory party #uk politics #gen z #millennials #boomers #gen x #middle aged people record everything #like my gran always wants to take pictures and put them on facebook #my mum puts everything me and my siblings do online unless we ask her not to #idk how to tag this #but other people get this right ?? #is this a thing? #mimi rambles #young people just shit post #even if we are taking photos at least for my friends we never post them we just have them for the memories #anyway #the tories are a sinking ship #but they’ll probably still win next election anyway #god bless #/sarcasm

older butch lesbians, living happily as butch women, who say “if I were a kid now I would have been a trans man instead of a lesbian” are a whole lot closer to being trans— not ‘potentially’ trans, not ‘might have been’ trans, but really, actually, literally, trans, in their present lived experience, she/her and all— than they are to being transphobic. but I don’t think any of you are really ready for that conversation.

#I saw a video on YouTube where this older butch was chatting with a transmasc guy #and she said ‘you know if I were young now I probably would have transitioned’ #and he said ‘why if you were young? it’s not too late’ #and she chuckled and said ‘oh maybe I dunno’ sort of brushed it off #and i was sort of like. well it made me kind of sad. #i think in everyone’s rush to denounce transmisogyny we have completely lost sight #of the fact that the lesbian community’s trans elders include an awful lot of ‘cis’ butch women. #it’s like. it’s just fucking weird being a ‘cis’ butch with Quite Significant Dysphoria #who went on t for a while and presents very masculine and is planning on top surgery #and looking at these super feminine trans guys on tiktok who are read as cis women by everyone who sees them #who don’t want medical transition #and to think that I know much much more about what it is like to be transsexual— #and in some ways about what it is like to be transgender— than they do #and that DESPITE that there is no room for me in trans spaces unless I go back to using they them pronouns #I dunno. It’s just really lonely. I was talking to a transfem friend of mine about this the other day #& she mentioned something about political versus internal concepts of gender that really vibed with me #I can’t summarize it here but. Yeah. Anyways. Lonely. #rhi talks

not to be brave and controversial but rw&rb the movie is exactly what antis and puritanical fandom wants from queer media like the most bland sanitized rote dull unsexy no tension no chemistry unfunny surface level romance and representation. give me dirt give me real bodies give me imperfect humans give me natural dialog give me complex relationships explored in the silences give me kink and complicated sex and guilt and anger and selfishness and imperfection, imperfection, imperfection. and most of all give me forgiveness for imperfection and the knowledge that an imperfect thing becomes beautiful because it communicates with the imperfection all fallible beings experience on a day to day, not because the beholder is morally corrupt.

anyway. sorry if you liked it there's nothing wrong with that. go forth and live your life.

#should i tag the fandom.... #fuck it #me and my friends were so bored we started to play keplunk half way through #also ive read the book and i liked it i think although that was like 4 years ago and im an adult now whos had sex and been in love and #become much more politically and artistically conscious #so maybe i woildnt #this isnt a criticism of casey mcquiston i liked shara wheeler and i dont know enough about her #but anyway if this is the culmination of queer media shoot me #i think about how much connection i found as a young queer in things like jp/craig from FUCKING HOLYOAKS #and like brittana on glee or something like that #and how those are clearly not anywhere near perfect pieces of media but at least i felt like i was watching human beings #and not sanitized ken dolls repeating cringy unnatural dialogue in front of a terrible cgi tree #i dont need queer people to be hot or irreproachable i need them to be REAL #red white and royal blue #sorry again #negativity #queer

I am salty because Janeway and Q had in the beginning what seemed like a slightly fun dynamic but then they ruined it.
