#b team week

[welcometogrouchland]

[ID in ALT] I've made posts before about Talia/Dick co-parenting Damian moments (will never happen but let me dream) and this came to me in a vision. Took me ages to finish for some reason 😭 and then even longer to post

#dc comics #dc #damian wayne #dick grayson #talia al ghul #batfamily #dc robin #nightwing #anyway. yes im a self-indulgent ''dick as damians secret third parent'' truther #like i DO think it's way more complex and nuanced than the schmoopy affectionate fan portrayal of it #they're brothers they're father and son they're partners they're the dynamic duo except only in past tense etc etc #but consider! I'm not immune to schmoopy affection in fanworks. it compells me despite itself #anyway it's technically not that crazy when it comes to dick and damian. they hug! often! at least they did #it's not as big a leap to these types of scenarios #also talia ''somewhat absent for complex reasons on both her and damians part but very loving and loved by her son'' al ghul #you will always be famous to me #son of the demon origin...bwahhh #anyway. someone made a comic kind of like this/like a post i made abt this topic #but way funnier bc dick and talia starting trying to beat each other up #so go look at that as well #anyway. it's been a somewhat difficult few weeks so I'm. desperately trying to take it easy #i got some reading with me (first vol of kevin smiths GA run that i found second hand and jaimes BB run vol 2!) #so we'll see how far i get through those. considering there's demons in my head telling me to re-read things (LET ME OUT!!!) #when i finish GA and BB i do plan on rereading robin 2021. as a treat to myself #it's a run I've really warmed up to as time went on #I'm keeping up w/ the current b&r run even though it is. admittedly very slow w/ some weird dialogue #i read it for the damian content more than anything. also nikas back so that's neat :] #idk I have a feeling that after absolute power shakes out we might get some more creative team switch ups #so if anyone at dc is interested in taking over the reigns on b&r...that could be very neat #(it's me they should hire me. please DC i have ideas listen to my red hood pitch PLEASE-)

drunk drawn au where after guy confronts gaara in lee’s hospital room, gaara realises that as dumb as he looks, guy is pretty genuine when it comes to caring deeply for his students! so what’s an enormously traumatised attention-starved 13 year old supposed to do? obviously he spontaneously defects and becomes his student whether he likes it or not. 

#i have been thinking about this for WEEKS #naruto #gaara #rock lee #might guy #might gai #kankuro #temari #team guy #sabaku no gaara #ok but if he knew his real backstory i think guy would b soooo moved #like what a shit hand 2 be dealt! #he tried and nobody gave him the time of day! #so with the condition of no killing people #and follow konoha rules #he can stay #and with all the bullshit going down with suna and the old kazekage #kankuro and temari are like thonk #this actually might work for us

Mother in law has been telling us for months that her and father in law can’t wait until we move out. Told her yesterday that we’ll be out in a month, three months max, and are already planning inspections.

Now she’s trying to deter us from moving and wants us to stay 💀💀💀

#‘you need stable work to do that don’t forget that. you’ve quit your last few jobs so’ shut the fuck up bitch 🤡 #I’m in corporate retail now and am praised on my team. even though I’ve only been here two weeks. like wow yes so unstable #it’s literally just because she’s realised that my bf and I have been paying for all of her stuff LOOOOL #so now she needs to find a way to come up with $1100+ a month and that’s JUST for bills. not food or anything else #just watch in three months time she’ll either be a) begging for money or b) begging us to move back in #art.txt

I've been emailing w the general manager of my hometown football club and it's been wild. man is emailing me like he's texting and responding 2-4 days late.

[milimeters-morales]

thinking of miles having some sort of ceremony at school and somehow literally everyone found out about it even though he only told his parents and uncle so there’s just some random people also cheering just as loud as rio and jefferson and aaron and if you focus on miles’s hands they’re balled into fists the entire time

#miles morales #and my everyone i mean team red + other spiders + may and mj(s) #spider man #spiderman #rio morales #aaron davis #jefferson davis #aaron is annoyed bc whyyy are those bitches here 😒😒😒 he just beat up peter like LAST WEEK #team red #gwen stacy #peni parke #spiderham #peter porker #spider noir #ghost spider #peter b parker #miguel o'hara #spiderman 2099 #spider man 2099 #matt murdock #daredevil #wade wilson #deadpool

[wavesoutbeingtossed]

I said this in the tags of another post, but I do wonder if someone is, er, distraught and slighted about an upcoming release because they genuinely didn’t think Taylor would reveal some of these things, because they knew better than anyone how painful things had been in the past for her to process and that she kept some of that under wraps for so long out of self-preservation. (Which is why songs like Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve, YOYOK, High Infidelity, etc. Were so shocking, because they touched subjects she previously kept a lid on or stated were too difficult to talk about.)

So they perhaps assumed that even in the event of a breakup, the really painful stuff would stay locked away in a metaphorical vault as well, or stay shrouded in metaphor. But they were, er, taken by surprise by the fact that a) she’s ripped the bandaid off (first on Midnights and then on tour and now with ~everything~ in her life e.g. publicly calling people out in interviews/going after DM and other gossip/etc.) b) done so so soon and c) done so so publicly (e.g. huge publicity campaign instead of a surprise album drop). Which is why their team is scrambling to put together a counter-narrative because the self-protection they counted on on her part and perhaps had even weaponized in recent years is potentially giving way to a public confessional…

#i just keep thinking about wcs #and how she said that for years after speak now she couldn’t play dear john because it was too painful #and then surprise! midnights has a song that deep dives into that trauma and aftermath #just like she’s skirted around the eating disorder and other stuff in the past #but made a direct reference in yoyok #the calvin/tom/joe stuff in high infidelity etc #joe had to have known that at one point she’d start writing about the breakup and such #but I feel like he either a) doesn’t realize how bad things really were or #b) knows exactly how bad things really were and that there will be an inevitable flogging for awhile #honestly if his team were smart they’d either ignore it completely because it will die down in a few weeks like it did for Jake #or lean into the ‘bad boy’ image and see if it can give his public image a little more rizz 🥴 #but this ‘uwu poor white man’s feelings are hurt by his songwriter girlfriend writing songs about him’ shtick isn’t it #writing letters addressed to the fire

mad about work but nobody to vent to 🥲

#red said #i said a week ago 'hey we have staff at multiple locations should we run this celebratory lunch as a hybrid event'? #no that would be too hard #we'll do it in person only and record the presentations #so uhhhhh that event is on Thursday and as of today oops no don't bother with catering we'll do it online to make sure everyone's involved #which means no we aren't offering our staff a free lunch to celebrate their work. #instead we're asking them to spend their lunch break at a teams meeting. which is obviously the same fucking thing. #so a) once again i am forced to ask Okay Well Why Have I Spent A Week Preparing Stuff We Aren't Using #and b) in a period where there's mass dissatisfaction and 16 people just got laid off without warning #leadership are making the decision to substitute 'we will buy you lunch and give you the chance to hang out and celebrate' #with 'stop what you're doing so the CEO can talk at you for an hour'? #i mean it's like they WANT to help my organising efforts. which is appreciated i guess. open union meeting this month 😘 #OH also it's bc 'attendance wasn't high enough' when 40 people have RSVPed yes in the last week which is 1 in 5 of the org #i don't know what numbers she was fucking expecting given that we have a bunch of staff who don't work Thursday #or who work out of office

[just-rogi]

I’m fucking venting here bc I’m angry and don’t have anyone to talk to and I’m not sure if this is political correct or right or whatever but I’m fucking pissed - I’m a public school teacher who works in the inner city and this year alone there have been two shootings in my neighborhood involving students not dying school hours- and one student who went missing due to gang ties (they were found ALIVE a DAYS later) -

I’m fucking TIRED I’m FREAKED OUT and I’m ANGRY because I have to go into work tomorrow and I have to have that conversation with the kids during our SEL block because they will have questions and bc they are in middle school some will not know how to process it and will joke while others will be genuinely upset

and I feel nauseous thinking about the fact that my mother and four of my closest friends are all going through the same fucking shit as teachers at different schools right now- and my roommate who is trans- and unrelated to his identity is also kinda an asshole- has been shitting on me all night about how I’m not I’m danger like he is and how I don’t know his pain (and while I’m not making excuses I’m an openly gay teacher who works directly with the lgbt students and activly educated my kids on trans rights AND I work for a nonprofit organization that directly works to protect trans and queer rights and JUST LAST WEEK put out a video for our organization on antitrans laws - I’m not saying I fucking get what it’s like to be trans but Jesus fuck I’m fighting the fight for trans youth more than you are working at Whole Foods) why the FUCK are you quantifying suffering, why the FUCK are you lashing out at ME of all people, and why the fuck are you telling a public school teacher in inner city Boston that I have no idea what it’s like to be afraid- motherfucker I’m angry I’m sorry but why the fuck are you monopolizing suffering why do you think you have the right to talk to me this fucking way. I get you are scared but you work in Whole Foods in Massachusetts- the bluest state there is- )

there is no fucking cap on grief- sorry I’m upset at this as well but you saying it doesn’t directly effect me is just so fucking ignorant and suffering shouldn’t be quantifiable mf we are on the same fucking side why are you infighting right now (and I know this isn’t relevant and this is entirely unrelated to him being trans but god he is so fucking sexist- saying shit like I have no idea what it’s like to have my bodily autonomy at risk as if roe v wade didn’t get overturned THIS year???) sometimes it pisses me off like fucking sorry I’m being over emotional and overreacting to a school shooting as a fucking public school teacher GOD I should be allowed to be angry too in my own goddamn apartment-

you don’t get to sit on your high horse and say you suffer more than me and that I’m not allowed to be afraid ok I’m done I’m gonna go in tomorrow and make sure to hug my one openly trans kid extra hard bc I know they are suffering just like I know my roomate is suffering and needs a place to express his anger- I get I’m an easy target bc I’m a safe person to lash out at and I’m not telling anyone how to grieve and I know a lot of this is just knee jerk reaction to violence and anger- I just wish he wasn’t expressing it at the one fucking person who doesn’t deserve it, like fuck, the one thing people always say about public school teachers is that we have it TOO easy, especially the night after a school shooting

*Also fuck terfs and fuck anyone who is using a tragedy as an excuse to hate trans people*

#he keeps talking about how cis people need to do better #as if a) I haven’t talked in depth about my own gender identity and how I’m not entirely aligned with ‘cis womanhood’ as a lesbian #with a complexed identity #and b) even if I was cis (which in most cases it’s just easier to say that I am) IM THE ONE GETTING MY FUCKING BOOTS DIRTY HERE #IM THE ONE BRINGING IN BOOKS FOR MY QUEER KIDS WHEN THE LIBRARY DOESNT HAVE ANY #IM THE ONE ADVOCATING FOR CALLING OUR TRANS KIDS BY THEIR PREFERED PRONOUNS AND NAME #IM THE ONE GOING TO MEETINGS TWICE A WEEK TO ORGANIZE QUEER EVENTS IN RURAL AMERICA THAT PUT TRANS WOMEN AND DRAG QUEENS FRONT AND CENTER #IM THE ONE RESEARCHING LOCAL CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS ABOUT OUR TOWN DENYING APPROVAL FOR OUR EVENT ON THE BASIS OF CROSSDRESSING #NOT BEINF CHILD FRIENDLY (we are working on it dw we have a team on this ) #IM LACING UP MY DYKE BOOTS EVERY FUCKING DAY AND SHAKING HANDS WITH SISTERS WHO HAVE WATCHED THEIR FRIENDS AND LOVERS DIE- INCLUDING #A SISTER WHO WAS AT FUCKING STONEWALL #I’m not trying to pull the whole ‘I’m gay so I get it ‘ card bc that’s not cool when cis people do that shit #but I’m a fucking public school teacher- I’m allowed to grieve a fucking school shooting FUCK #god why are you fucking quantifying suffering mf you work in a grocery store your life and the lives of others aren’t on the line daily #^^that also isn’t a dig at his work - working in a grocery store is a fine career and he deserves a living wage and dignity #but also… there haven’t been 130 shootings at Whole Foods market in 2023 alone so maybe fucking let me be angry #god #i really hope this shit doesn’t get twisted I just need to vent #if you don’t like this just block me idc I’m not fighting anymore #tw school shooting #tw gun violence #tw gun mention #school shooting

[manyblinkinglights]

how do I make a fucking dermatologist appointment when I am always at work and medicine is closed weekends. I don’t have time off im a fucking. Temp

#I can take time off but I won’t be paid for it. I was not paid for Labor Day #which was weird to me #Why is medicine closed on weekends? Doesn’t everybody work during the week? Like most people. #Why don’t we do like ships and stations and have A and B work cycles? #We should all do four days on three days off and staggered. #people love having teams like that for things. #And then I could make a fucking doctor’s appointment. There should be three teams #Each offset by one day #Such that everyone gets ONE weekend day where all people are off #but the other two weekend days only two teams at once are off. #and the remaining team can run things such as the dermatologist’s office. #so you’d have two good ‘’can make appts’’ days off per week and one everything’s-closed day.

today in our motw game, when i gave the players an opportunity to decide a main NPC's fate, their IMMEDIATE first response was "well it should be [that NPC's] choice then. consent, bitch"

which is FANTASTIC, i love it, i wish there were a million more like them

but now i, the GM, have to make that choice and the reason i gave the choice to them was because i couldn't decide in the first place!!!

#ragsycon exclusive #motw #monster of the week #this is about mark/dogman #they wanted to get rid of dogman and keep mark alive and the choices they have are: #a) kill him with a magic dagger that will seal the dogman away and then perform a resurrection on mark #thereby completing our Wronged's revenge arc and also resulting in a dogman-less mark #or b) doing a ritual that will fuse mark & dogman's souls into one which mark will have control over #thereby ending the cycle of violence and making mark into an asset for the team as dogmark #and they (the players) are leaning towards option b but their characters were 100% ''yeah he gets to choose. we'll run with it.'' #which is great that they feel comfortable enough with their agency as players that they can just say 'nah the GM can choose for us' #but i am BAD at DECISIONS

Soy Luna Road Trip AU: B Team

“Hey Gaston?” Ramiro’s voice calls out slowly. He leans forward from the back seat of the car where he is sitting and peaks his head into the front between Nina and Gaston. “Do you remember when I mentioned a blue car that was trailing us?” 

Gaston’s eyes flicker from the road to the rear mirror in terror. “Oh shit.” Nina curses under her breath and pulls up her map app on her phone. 

“Yeah, oh shit, might be the least of it,” Ramiro mutters under his breath. Nina directs Gaston down a new alleyway, and they swerve between streets to try to lose them. “You know when you mentioned we were going on the run from Ambar’s crazy strict aunt, I wasn't picturing this.” Ramiro looks back again, “yeah, well then again, considering this whole year, why am I surprised.”

“Ramiro, shut up,” Gaston hisses.  

“Behind us!” Nina calls out and they swerve another time. 

Gaston turns quickly to the right, but the car is already beside them. It steers in front of them, blocking the road completely. Gaston prepares to go in reverse, but the second his eyes meet the other drivers his mouth drops, and he stops. “Pedro?”

Emilia rolls down the window waves them down. “Hey Jam and Losers!” She opens the door and jumps out. 

The back door opens and out swarms, Jim, Yam, Jazmin, Delfi, Nico and Pedro. “Do you think I can market the video of this chase as a race?” Jazmine says a little too seriously. Delfi, shakes her head at Jazmin, and silently pleads for Jazmine to stop. “Oh, I’m just kidding.” Jim scoffs in disbelief. “Well mostly.”

Pedro walks at the front of the group with a disappointed scowl. “How dare you leave without us. We are a team.”

“Yeah!” Jam calls out. “Someone messes with one of us, they mess with all of us.” Everyone nods in agreement. 

Gaston shakes his head. “No. The point of this is to be discrete. There are too many of us, for all of us to go try to help them.”

“Well duh,” Emilia deadpans. “Thats the first thing we can agree on.” 

“Why are you even-,” Ramiro starts. 

“Just hear her out,” Pedro says calmly. “Hear her out.”

“Fine.”

Emilia pulls out a map. “The plan is to keep that manipuladora, away from Ambar. So, we have a counter proposal. We make three teams of four, each will pretend to be Ambar, Simon, Luna and Matteo until they to throw them off track. We wear wings, we go all out. If we can confuse that mad woman for a couple weeks, hell, a couple days, we are giving Ambar time.”

Nina and Gaston look at each other. Their plan was to catch up to Luna, Simon, Ambar and Matteo discretely help them find protection with Nina’s lawyer mother. This would completely throw their plan out the window. But in the last few days on the run, they have realized the true danger Ambar and Luna are in. Maybe bringing them home isn't the best plan. 

Emilia opens the front car door and gives Gaston a look. “You can’t expect me to think you guys are competent enough to drive around my country with only a google map. Let me help you. I’ll be your guide in theory, we go mostly off the grid, only communicate between each other, and try to piece out what truly happened at the Jam Fest.” Emilia’s eyes darken. “There is no way they committed those crimes.”

“Sounds like more of a plan, than what we’ve got,” Ramiro buds in. “I hate it, but she is right, it’s not like we know the area enough to find them anyways.”

Gaston stays quiet and then turns to Nina. “I think we should do it.”

Nina shakes her read. “It's too risky, my mom could still help protect them-.”

Gaston shakes his head. “Nina, we don't even know where to look. This, although crazy, might be better than our plan.”

Nina shakes her head. She looks out into the crowd. Everyone looks back at her, hopefully and well meaning. Nina sighs and then puts out her hand. “Deal, but all information is shared between the groups.”

Emilia smiles, the shake hands. Nina takes note the gratefulness in Emilia’s eyes, “let's just get our people home.”
