Death Companions

It is said that all people have a partner, one that is predetermined; some are platonic soulmates, others romantic soulmates, but the main thing was that they were meant to be by your side, understand you, and not always support your decisions.

They were more like a kind of impulse control, someone to help you see beyond your choices and thoughts. While they were "meant" to understand you, that doesn't mean they supported all your decisions without complaint. Some would say they were there to help you be a better person.

But there was a catch: no one would know who their companion is until they die. Maybe it was a cruel twist of fate, that you would be forced to live your life without any clue as to whether you were doing it correctly. That you might never meet your partner in your life, that you would only have each other until all the stupid tests ended.

A way for the universe to say "fuck you" to humans who desperately wanted guidance on how to live. Or maybe, it was a way of telling them that there was no such guide, and that if they gave all the clues humans would never be free to make their own decisions.

So, maybe Jason Todd and Danny Fenton were the luckiest people on the fucking planet, for being the only ones who knew about each other, for being the only ones who could see that thread connecting them.

Personally neither of them felt lucky, dying was horrible, but at least the thread helped them feel less alone. Maybe someday one of them would be brave enough to follow it.

#dpxdc #It's like soulmates but no #Death Companions are stronger than soulmates #they help you to be better #even if you don't want to be or feel you can't be #but no one knows who their death companion is until their last seconds #It is the last truth that the universe grants you #whether you were together with them or not #there is no right answer #dp x dc #dc x dp #Ghosts are the only ones who can feel the bond and appreciate it #because they already went through that #and death is truly horrible #some ghosts keep these ties and decide to spend their eternity in the Realms together #others are happy that their partner is already in the afterlife #no one hates the bond #they may feel sad but in the end all they feel for it is gratitude #because the death companions are the ones who comfort you in your last moments and stay by your side #even if you never met them before #Jason and Danny are Death Companions #dead on main #deadonmain

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 4: Deranged Bedfellows

(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.5)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #mdzs au #lan wangji #nie huaisang #Yungmeng Jiang training arc AU #This is the *first* part of what was supposed to be a much longer comic (LWJ's morning routine in full). #I'll finish the remaining part as a reblog to this post! I just think this is the funnier chunk. #Lan Wangji absolutely is the kind of person who has a perfect internal alarm clock for when it is time to get up. #He already has a dedicated sleep schedule. He is accurate within 10 seconds of 5am every day. #I think the Jiang disciples are most likely used to waking up around 6:00-7:00am #But the allure of having a guaranteed time keeper getting you up in the morning is worth the earlier hour. #I imagine they started outside lwj's door and slowly moved closer as the weeks went on. #Now LWJ has to cope with being way too warm in the night from all the extra body heat. #LWJ is not a fan of this but they scamper off immediately after he wakes up and they at least show initiative to follow routine. #NHS joins in only because he is a chronically heavy sleeper and needs this level of intervention to get up early. #His boldness would be a death sentence in the cloud recesses but here? Whole new game. #Yungmeng Jiang isn't a lawless land. It's just a land with different laws. #And one of those laws is to forcefully domesticate the catboy coded Lan boy through any means necessary. #Completely different tangent: I drew the thumbnail for this before I did comic 134. I then realized they had the same visual gag. #So I had to space this one out so it didn't seem like I repeated the waking up joke. That's my secret and all of you have to keep it. #And in my land the law is that snitches get itches (telepathically transfers hives onto your body)

listen I know everybody makes Orpheus and Eurydice quest aus of Nico bringing Jason back BUT we already did Orpheus and Eurydice in canon like at least three times (Nico bringing Percy to the Styx, Nico bringing back Hazel, and Piper in general is Orpheus as an Argonaut) AND we are missing the much simpler canon-established method.

Remember the whole soul-trade thing Nico was doing in BoTL that got dropped completely? Even though it was like the entire subplot with Minos?

The requirement is a soul that has cheated death for a soul that has died. Now, quickly ignoring the convenient emperors running around who very much cheated death and the entire main conflict in TOA is Apollo trying to get rid of them. There are a ton of escaped souls from the whole Doors of Death/Thanatos getting captured thing. They're just kind of around. A lot of them were in the Giant Army but not all of them and a good number of them are random mortals and they're just. Somewhere.

So that's two loose plot threads: Nico is 100% fully aware of a completely Underworld-Legal method for bringing people back from the dead and there's an absolute ton of random souls-who-cheated-death running around who knows where completely unaddressed. Also, we know from BoO that Nico has changed his stance since BoTL and is now completely down for some murder.

Now, is there a very compelling plot within there about Nico and his sense of Underworld justice/Nico's morals and how he views the situation (insert the "That word ['please'] didn’t make sense to Nico. The Underworld had no mercy. It only had justice." quote from BoO of Nico killing Bryce while he's begging for mercy here.) vs Jason's own sense of justice/morals and the knowledge that Nico 100% actually murdered somebody to bring him back. THAT'S FASCINATING. It's a good conflict for a story and it ties up loose threads! We don't need to invent new mechanics the worldbuilding writes the plot all on it's own.

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #jason grace #not tagging as ship because it does not inherently need to be though most versions of this plot are #and i will say this plotline does have a FASCINATING secondary conflict if you go the ship route with it #because Nico is Ghost King! Jason was A GHOST! NICO CONTROLS GHOSTS! #Ghosts are inherently drawn to Nico and respond to his emotions/commands/etc even if he is not consciously controlling them! #So you could *absolutely* have a secondary conflict of Nico and Jason trying to figure out their feelings for each other #but both of them worrying about trying to parse if their feelings *are* actually mutual #or if Nico accidentally influenced Jason while he was a ghost into reciprocating his feelings and that stuck when he was revived #which is like. extra sucky for Jason to figure out because HE ALREADY WENT THROUGH THAT WITH PIPER. This would be the second time! #can you tell i started writing this once #i never finished it but i stand by it's SUCH a great compelling plot if you wanna go the revive-Jason route

it's good to ask the important questions every now and then, so i will ask again:

#not the best one that would have been too easy #i am super sure i asked this question already (because i remember some answers and they were all alëša) #but i am asking again in case you all went through the horrors and came back as new people and idk maybe you like pavel now #the brothers karamazov

HEARTBREAKING: James Somerton DID plan to make a Disco Elysium video for his "fall" release

#Look I was bored during food poisoning recovery era so I looked at James Somerton reupload #I watched this plan cuz his Utena video was an utter disaster and I was curious of what other disaster he was cooking #And then. Harry Du Bois. #My life flashed before my eyes. #I JOKED ON TWITTER ABOUT A HYPOTHETICAL JAMES SOMERTON DE VIDEO I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS #I JOKED ABOUT HIS POSSIBLE BAD KLAASJERUBY TAKE #I JOKED ABOUT HIS PLAGIARIZED HARRYKIM TAKES #I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS ALREADY IN THE WORKS #I'm sorry women. #disco elysium #james somerton #EDIT: It's a patreon only vid but omg imagine if hbomb hasn't exposed him and you had to watch his plagiarized PAYWALLED DE takes #I can get high quality poetic Harrykim analysis on Tumblr Dot Com for free thank you!!!!!!!!!! #Anyway I'm lowkey sad that no one archived his stream because according to Lady Emily he streamed the timeline for this #She only shared the Eva one that 2 weeks prior to the expose he HASN'T WATCHED #THE DOCS JUST SAID 'It's a lot 😃😃😃' #I wonder how far the DE plagiarization machine has went through

The fact that people were so willing to completely dismiss what happened in After Pain and Harrow after they saw It's Not My Fault and Deep Cover paint Mu and Kotoko in a worse light really shows that some people don't have literary comprehension 😭

#it's almost as if nuance is a thing and that their pain isn't mutually exclusive from their actions lmao #the fact that some people actually thought Mu was lying about what she went through??? 😭 no tf she didn't the whole point #is that she is both a perpetrator and a victim and her inno verdict in t1 validated her thinking #which is why in t2 she doesn't shy away from not acting completely innocent because she fully believes she didn't do anything wrong #that's why I also didn't understand why people were so quick to dismiss Kotoko's vigilantism and say it was a complete lie #because Harrow shows us that it never really was a lie but rather something that became more and more distorted over time #as well as something Kotoko uses to validate herself because of her self hatred which again Harrow already hinted at lmao #it only got worse in Milgram but the whole point is that Kotoko's ideals which were born out of strong feelings against the evils #of the world became distorted and more selfish over time #idk people just like to reduce them to completely bad people and it annoys tf out of me #deep cover spoilers #milgram #mu kusunoki #kotoko yuzuriha #my posts

why does everyone think normal would actually even TRY to hurt taylor like this boy literally just had an entire episode where he became convinced that he was right and his friends don’t care about him AND he just was reminded that it’s kinda his dads fault that taylor didn’t get to have a dad in his life you really think norm isn’t fully prepared to step down and let taylor win he literally said he only wanted to rule hell because it sounded angsty and he’s being angsty why would he get violent about it 😭😭😭😭😭

#dndads #dndads spoilers #i’ve seen several people say this now and i’m so confused like #normal was only enraged to the point of violence against a friend (scary) because she set his HOUSE ON FIRE #he only went into a typical oak rage when he just watched terry jr die in front of him! #normal does give into the family anger but it makes him snappy not violent why do y’all think he’d hurt taylor #HES NOT EVEN MAD AT TAYLOR #i get wanting self sacrificial taylor angst but y’all 😭😭😭 #taylor just reconnected with his dad and grandfather and found out his other grandfather is in chains i think he’s a bit more motivated #and normal is already on the self sacrificial bullshit anyways! he thinks they don’t care about him #he’s not gonna fight for his life against TAYLOR of all people oh my god #sorry for the rant i’m just???? that’s not normals character at all #in fact it’s far more likely that he’s gonna magic bullshit his way through the fight instead

just an fyi, and it feels like it needs to be said here: your blog is your own space and you should be able to say whatever the fuck you want. if you’re sad? vent. get sad. maybe put it under a cut, definitely tag it, but get sad. if you feel like you need someone to talk to? drop a freaking message about how you’re feeling like you could use a buddy, or anything randomly engaging. if you’re having a hard time, you should feel safe and okay to talk about it in your own space. we’re writers and we’re people and while there’s a lot to be said for how engagement outside of oneself is necessary in rp (and really really needs to improve), i think there’s a lot that must be said about people reaching out to others. it’s become so solitary here — the whole ‘reblog from source’ thing when it comes to shit like about and musings is absurd. the whole refusing to like things is ridiculous. yes, curate your space, that’s important, but curating your space into a studio apartment only you live in doesn’t make this a community anymore, it makes it a studio apartment you live in.

just be yourself here. do whatever you want. but i’m always saying: remember you’re not alone, and don’t let yourself feel that way.

#ooc. o kaptain. #[this is illogically worded and after an argument I’m already upset but I just felt like this has to be put here. it’s been sitting on my #brain for so long and it’s something i just wanted to discuss. the way the rpc has become not even an echo chamber just… a shitty ny #apartment only one person lives in that can fit your fridge and your bedroom in the same room. the way literal fandoms have divided each #other through nothing but massive senses of entitlement and so much gatekeepy fucking language. it’s exhausting to watch this happen #literally all because i have no idea where interaction went and yes I’ve been virtually inactive for months now but. it absolutely isn’t for #lack of trying to come back. it’s hugely due to a lack of interaction whenever I reach out and then the feeling like I’m being either #entertained or dismissed. this is a social space and we’re people and everybody just needs to recognize that. like. last week my introverted #broski started discussing how as he’s older he feels loneliness more tangibly but he hates people and i looked right at him and said …yeah #dude. that’s natural. we’re humans. we need each other to live. we need spaces we create and communities we make. but like. there need to be #interactive people in those spaces. we’re social creatures. i love you guys and this is a ramble but… it’s been on my mind awhile. and #frankly? feels kinda good to finally speak my mind.]

being a pre-k teacher and a fan of ofmd is so funny because stede captains the same way the pre-k curriculum wants you to run a classroom

#like today 2 kids were fighting so my coworker was like okay let's talk it through and my brain went like a crew automatically #stede would make a great pre-k teacher because that's already is leadership approach lol #ofmd #our flag means death

Had the motivation to finally finish Poison Garden refs 🎸🥀

Also doodle of Iris and her girl-best-friend teehee :3c

Iris is very protective over her bandmates,, kinda obvious if you look at them all together. Sometimes I think oh, Annie and Bee are so tiny and then I remember they're almost average, Iris is just HUGE (T o T)-

#Daria popped off with her colour palette I'm afraid ✨ #girlie looks as prickly as her attitude (and we love her for that) #added Bee because live laugh love butch lesbians :3c #do I really know how a band is supposed to be like? nah. will I create one? absolutely #gotta let Iris have her silly fun years of having a family and a band cuz she went through quite some stuff before 🤭- #talking about family I sometimes forget both Iris and Daria have husbands already dot dot dot #Poison Garden is def in poly qpr I just know it #welcome home #welcome home oc #welcome home puppet show #wh metal au #rockstar daria #punk Bee #rockstar iris #Brylee and Annie when they get their metal au designs before og ones : 🤨🤨 #I always have to remind myself to not draw Iris claws because she doesn't have them- #punk annie
