#because i can deal with it okay

Prompt 168

So. Apparently halfas are like phoenixes or something, which Danny would’ve really liked to know. 

See, usually with ghosts if they’re forced to retreat to their cores they reform as was, but apparently, since they’re still partially living, schrodinger's people and all that, halfas have to regrow their body from scratch. At least that’s what he’s understanding from Frostbite. 

But how come he has to deal with it? It’s Dan’s fault for trying to pull such a stunt! Oh, it’s either him or Vlad? Well fuck, he might have calmed down and is going to therapy in both the living realm and the Zone, but he’s waaay not equipped to raise a child except for like, monetarily wise. 

Well dammit, how long will this core incubation thing last, he has his new job in… let him check which offer he accepted again… He has his new job in Coast City that he needs to finish packing for and then all the rest of the stuff to do. 

What do you mean it’ll take months?! He doesn’t have months?! Urgh, fine. At least being a mortician isn’t that exciting, nor dangerous. Just hand him Dan’s core and he’ll figure things out for the living side of things. He’s sure Tucker and Sam wouldn’t be against helping, if only to try and claim favorite aunt or uncle spots. 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #Coast City is where Hal Jordan lives hilarious enough #I just chose a random city but honestly a green lantern city is hilariously on brand for where Danny would choose to move #He’s just a cheerful space core dude who is glaring down several ghosts & helping others move on while he’s working #He’s also slightly uncanny valley to people outside of Amity & doesn’t realize it #He runs into a reporter Wes at some point & okay the fact he looks like the lady doing math meme when seeing Dan? #Utterly hilarious #Danny holding a newborn with matching slightly pointy ears and claws :) #Wes who is *pretty sure* Danny is cis but is second guessing everything now: #Danny is going to do his best to avoid any hero BS #He’s trying to do his JOB #Who cares if he brings his baby to work he needs to eat and he isn’t going to hire a babysitter #Bby Jordan tried to set the house on fire during his last tantrum do you THINK anyone else can deal with him? That’s what he thought now ou #Ellie visits as well & straight up melts out of the wall sometimes like a horror movie #She has weaponized her goo powers and is also excited to show her dad her new gravity ones #Space Core Danny + Fire Core Vlad = Sun Core Dan #Ellie has a Moon core (something something phases of the moon & travelling across the night sky) #Danny is encountering so many rogues and heroes and just doesn’t acknowledge it because he has a literal BABY who can destroy the entire JL #He’s very tired and would like a nap now

Your life isn't a to-do list. You're allowed to exist, to take life as slow as you'd like. The dreams you have won't suddenly disappear. It's okay to stop and smell the roses, or to engage with "childish" things, or to recover, or do what you need to.

GMMTV's Part 2 was supposed to be next week.

Six months after the first.

Yet it's acquiring more actors like early 2000s Beanie Babies, LOL Fest is coming up, and it's still shooting series from the first part.

I want to speak to a manager.

#Judge Judy tapping her watch #GMMTV gotta start answering for its crimes #I'm not even being greedy! #I would've been okay with Part 1 #but GMMTV said TWO parts! #They said it! #So where is it?! #Are they rearranging things because Singto's back?! #Were they waiting on the Wabi Sabi deal?! #WHAT ARE THE REASONS GMMTV?! #Y'all can reshoot a series in a day (we are I'm looking at you) but can't schedule the second part of an event that you wanted in two parts #YOU SAID IT NOT ME! #NOW WHERE IS IT?! #I don't know why the news yesterday ruffled me so much #But now I'm hype and angry as hell #we got beef

I've seen a lot of people claim lately (mostly JC antis) that WWX performing the experimental core transplant on JC was emergency surgery, and I just have to stop them right there.

This was not emergency surgery by any means. Emergency surgery implies that it is something that NEEDS to be done, or else it would mean imminent death for the patient.

JC did not need that core to survive. He could have very much lived without it. He only needed it for revenge. To get back into joining the war effort to avenge his parents and his sect.

WWX didn't have to do it at all. Sure, JC was miserable, borderline suicidal. But I've seen and read aus where him coming to terms with his new disability is and can be very much possible. Hard, and a lot to work through mentally and physically, but not impossible.

JC did not force WWX to give up his core. It was very much implied that he would grow HIS OWN one via Baoshan Sanren. There was no way JC could have assumed that it was WWX's or anyone else's core for that matter when the concept of a core transplant did not exist at that moment in time. He was the first one to have survived and lived to tell the tale.

Plus, his mental state at that time was questionable. On the surface, he was willing to "consent" to anything if it meant getting his core back, regardless of how and why. But because of his vulnerability, that doesn't mean he consents to being treated like a guinea pig, nor should he have been treated like one for that matter. Although the intentions were good and pure, his vulnerability and naivety was still taken advantage of here. That cannot be disputed.

He also did not consent to having someone else's core (someone else who he cares for deeply, mind) being inserted in him. That possibility was obviously something that would have never crossed his mind in that moment. It is unfair and unreasonable to assume it would and claim he consented to something he didn't even know was possible.

He was led to believe that Baoshan Sanren could successfully give him a new core willy nilly, no questions asked because she was a fabled person with amazing abilities. It was that he consented to here alone, nothing else.

So yes, although WWX's intentions were pure and from the goodness of his heart, he did in fact mislead JC. The whole core reveal and the shock revelation behind it is proof of that. What would be the point in that scene otherwise if it was 100% consensual? And Jiang Cheng's famous "why didn't you tell me?" Break down?

It's okay to accept the moral greyness behind WWX's heroic actions, you know? It won't make him any less of a protagonist, nor does it undermine his HUGE sacrifice. You're still allowed to like him, warts and all. I know I certainly do!

#mxtx mdzs #mo dao zu shi #mdzs #the untamed #canon jiang cheng #jiang cheng #jiang wanyin #wei wuxian #sometimes protagonists make mistakes #sometimes protagonists can be morally grey #sometimes protagonists mean well but can do quesrionable things in their pursuit to help others #and thats okay #it still doesn't take away the fact that wwx is a good person who cares for jc #likewise jc's sacrfice was equally as huge and needs to be made more into a big deal #because i find it odd that some fans still brush over it or try to down play it just to elevate wwx's #completely missing the point of the story #these boys lost so much man #how can you not love them? #warts and all!

This was easily one of the best Lupin episodes

#there will be a rant in the tags that you can ignore #but it is so upsetting how modern/current lupin took away the depths of these characters and flimsily tries to restore their earlier depth #i'm one of those people who craves depth in what i watch and it's so difficult to like this franchise because it will be so close to doing #something interesting only to abandon it #this episode and part one as a whole was peak lupin in my opinion with each character having emotional depth yet flaws to overcome #yet modern lupin would have you believe that these characters don't desire to improve in any capacity #if we were to just focus on Goemon for example right here he shows depth with revealing hidden emotional maturity and empathy for Lupin by #comforting him and admitting he himself is afraid (which is a big deal for a character like him who is supposed to be unflinching) #but in modern lupin goemon will literally say that he's not afraid of anything and this is written without any hint of irony or depth #i'm okay with mindless entertainment and i understand that this is a series simply about stealing but the character assassination is so #disappointing #and when this series does try to be “deep” they pick the most triggering subject matter possible to depict to the point where it's #practically unwatchable (this is in reference to Part 4 and its constant SA plots as well as the rampant gratuitous child abuse plots #throughout the entire series) #i want so badly to love lupin the 3rd but it's a huge problem when fanfiction understands the characters better than the source material #lupin iii #lupin the third #lupin the 3rd #goemon ishikawa xiii #goemon #arsene lupin iii #jigen daisuke #daisuke jigen #fujiko mine #part 1

So so sorry if you've answered this before [or if you just didn't wanna talk about this] but I noticed your part is absent from the Primadonna Spottedleaf map? Again sorry if this is overstepping bounds but I'm just curious if you knew about that

all good. got kicked for supporting bi lesbians i think. they just said ‘because of the drama’

#which is weird because they supported me previously #gonna say it. #tons of wc creators have no spine. i really tried to understand not wanting to get involved in ‘drama’ #and prioritising your participants #but it got to the point where people who agreed with me would still kick me from their maps to sate the rabid callout culture #anyway. can you tell i’m bitter? i’m very bitter. i put in free labour for so many maps and while it is within a host’s rights to kick #whoever they want. its also within MY rights to be bitter about it #sorry lol. rant over #ignore me #anyway it would be nice if people were this aggressive about the people who raided my servers calling me and my participants racial slurs #but i guess racism just isnt as big of a deal as random bullshit queer infighting #OKAY #SORRY #RANT ACTUALLY OVER NOW #yeen rambles #ask

I don't have many fears, but a big one for me is the fear that a large streamer or youtuber plays Disco Elysium and introduces it to people with no reading comprehension skills.

#like okay. on one hand #i love this game so so dearly #and i absolutely adore others getting into the game that completely changed my life #but i already have to deal with awful takes from people on reddit #like people STILL say that disco elysium is “anti-communist” because it pokes fun #like. are u crazy. nuts? out of your mind? #on the otherhand i LOVE LOVE LOVE smaller streamers playing disco elysium #it brings me so much joy seeing people experience it for the first time and be blown away #so there are two wolves inside me. #one that wishes to share this game with everyone i can knowing it can positively change so many peoples life and viewpoints #the other that is terrified of mischaracterization becoming rampent and it's complex themes being misunderstood #anyway! time to watch that therapist play disco elysium for the time! #disco elysium

ok now i have to ask

why do you hate the cape (from the comics)?

Welll... -inserts edna mode no capes montage-

But in all honesty... I understand tradition costom and representation. But the whole design for zuko is just... heavily weighing him down. And the cape makes it worse.

I dont think a cape is a good idea when somone fights with fire. Exspecially somone that does lot of spinning or sometimes brakedancing moves.

You want to make zuko look badass? Scrap the cape, return his swords. Because where are they?

Give this man his swords back dang it!!!

The only time we see in canon zuko wear cape is when he sneaks around and hides in the third season. With a hood!

What does he hide this time? (Probably himself because he is ashamed and embarrassed that he has to wear...THAT)

All my frustration aside the design is... alright. Its a good and flexible redesign of the former fire lords ones. I can live with that. Just NO CAPE

#chip!ask #zuko #i cant be the only one that thinks that? #at the end its just pixels but... ahhh #idk i am sure some comes at me like 'actually capes are not so much of a hindrance' whick okay fine valid #but in the show zhao wore one and imediately took it off once a fight began #even azula lost hers in the agni kai #and ozai immediately burned off his entire outfit #so i guess its canon that capes only look and are impratical for firebending! #idk what the EK deal is #i guess because they dont spin and move as much can wear them. #not much of a hindrance the weight is good for them! #and yeha aurbenders are also the exeption to the rule i think #they can use it fir pratical prupose! #but still!!! #no capes for zuko! jasnt this boy suffered enough???

if you piss all over a public toilet seat, and i mean just piss all the fuck over it, and then leave that for someone else to deal with because it "gives people a job to do" or it "isnt your problem" im cursing you, hexing you, dooming you a thousand lifetimes over

#like yeah okay i get the germaphobe thing and i mean dont let me as a stranger Guilt You if you really cannot force yourself to deal w/that #but for people who do this and just refuse to take responsibility and be like A Little Considerate about a space thats not theirs #im CURSING YOU cursing you cursing you. dear god #like people who throw trash on the floor in public places when theres a trash can like 7 feet away because 'gives the janitor a job' #like no. youre a slob and you have bad etiquette. outright. its so rude and nasty. #we have jobs that arent picking up the consequences of your shit attitude. i promise lmfao #skelly speaks #negative // #im on my first day of my period tho and its mega painful djdj so this is where my frustration is going LMAO #please be tidy and considerate thank you #besides like... not throwing trash on the ground makes a better space for everyone. just saying #like Everyone benefits from making better choices about making sure your trash goes into a garbage bin. thanks.

formerly an essay in tags but - billie lurk. half-nameless, misremembered woman. her powers derived from the things taken from her, without any catharsis or empowerment. the rat charm, tied with deidre's hair, her lover's voice in the mouth of rats. her arm and eye, taken, given back only to cause her chronic pain, then lost again. foresight seems a cruel gift for a woman who botched the timing of her takeover of the whalers, and bet wrong when it came to delilah.

she never bore the outsider's blessing; his first visit to her was more like an assault. every other dishonored POV character gets the choice to be selfish, and for that selfishness to mean something, but billie's actions have no effect on the world at large, either, in a game without a chaos system.

some say that corvo is the ghost, but he can reach out and change things. billie's buried herself twice and come back and nothing she does seems to matter - she is less a protagonist, more a convenient full stop in the narrative.

try this: open doto, start a new game. sit in her cabin. notice how little of billie there is. even the woman she loved more than anyone has the face of another named character.

she sits amongst the assets of other games: empty canvases and a dressmaker's mannequin that wears nothing.

#billie lurk #even the wiki is wrong about her its infuriating #pulled this out of tags because fuck it #in daud's DLCs even the stories that weren't about him were about him #but billie's stories are the scrapheap. they're the stuff they couldn't squeeze in elsewhere. cheap jokes and macguffins #i'm not even roasting the devs for this i think releasing dishonored in 2016 then DotO in 2017 was a feat (derogatory) #games should be made slowly and with love #and i know that everyones talked about this endlessly #but billie is my fav and it sucks that she got a game that only causes me to grieve for her as a character #not FOR her as a person #only the potential story that never was. that she never got. #you can have your strong black woman and not turn her into a trope. give her depth and range and heartache and agency. yes there was traged #but how did it SHAPE her? #dont get me started on her being designated caretaker of a former god and dying assassin. what the fuck #some of this i'd be more okay with if she was younger - i mean. the blank canvases? really? #this game could have been about wyman and there's not that much that would have changed in terms of the core story #“found out the asshole that killed your mother is still around. gonna go deal with that.” #emily who is stoned: “cool.bring me snacks on the way back” #wyman: “oh he's saying actually it was gods fault and that its possible to kill him. well i have literally nothing in my schedule” #billie's not surprised by anything anymore but maybe wyman would freak out over most of it. could have been a lot of fun #also you cant fuck up wymans characterisation. they barely exist. #local empress sends her enby girlboyfriend to kill god #pres writes increasingly deranged essays in the tags #death of the outsider spoilers #i have to complain about doto once every year or so or i die #but i'm not really gonna let arkane hide behind dev excuses when it comes to racism like. its not enough
