#either direction works

[each-uisge-enthusiast]

have you ever been possessed by a demon that is a single wildly goofy kinda thought and then spent over four hours committing to drawing said thought into a half baked reality.

#as stated going mad in the woods and returning anew is a trans metaphor #hence yvain is trans #either direction works #however it’s SO easy to shuffle (one spelling of) his name in the opposite direction #so #that + i hate drawing men i have drawn nothing but men for so long #i can’t draw lions but it felt immoral to exclude the lion #anyway #arthuriana #arthurian legend #sir yvain #sir yvain and the lion #i think she still uses sir #i think gender is flimsy enough to allow that #yeah #anyway this was a desperate plea for attention hi

DP x DC where Bruce Wayne and Vlad Masters are old friends. They met as kids at summer camp and stayed in touch through phone calls and letters. 

Their friendship dies down around the time Vlad has his accident and starts secluding himself. They still mail each other letters, but the time between those letters stretches further and further as the years go by. 

Bruce decides to reconnect with his old friend after receiving one of these rare letters. It’s been decades since he’s seen Vlad in person, and the man has never met any of his kids-- though he’s heard plenty about them.

Bruce meets Vlad at a restaurant for lunch, with plans for a large family dinner with him in the evening. Vlad has changed a lot over the years, and Bruce tries to ignore the strange energy he feels from the man. He tries to focus on the boy he knew, and all of the pleasant conversations they’ve had over the years. Whatever changes Vlad has gone through, he’s still Bruce’s old friend. 

It’s a nice distraction at least, considering the chaos Bruce has had at home over the last couple of weeks.

Vlad is talkative as they catch up over lunch. He gloats about his job as mayor in a small town called Amity Park, and his company, and about a troubled boy he’s essentially adopted as his own. Bruce lets the man talk, genuinely interested (and confused) by some of what Vlad is saying. He has a dreadful, sinking feeling in his stomach as he asks about the boy Vlad’s “essentially adopted”.

The boy is named Daniel and Vlad is more than happy to show Bruce a picture of him. 

To Bruce’s amazement-- and horror-- it’s the same boy living in one of the manor’s guest rooms. The boy he found two weeks ago, scared witless and covered in horrific scars, who hasn’t told them more than his first name.

#dp x dc #dp x dc prompt #up to interpretation if Vlad was aware of Danny's whereabouts either could work but in very different directions #dp #danny phantom #dogprompts #dogposts #dpxdc #inspired by a convo about them being old friend in the Batpham server

really fucking sick and tired of people who really fucking love the eddie book jumping on people who don't like or are even remotely critical of it's posts and like crusading their opinions around from the top of their high horses and shoving it down our throats.

if you like the book, great! that's awesome! love that for you! i am genuinely glad that you were able to find good in it and enjoy it!!

but not everyone did, and not everyone is going to agree with you. so, instead of going on some grand crusade where you find every single post that includes anything even remotely negative or negative adjacent or even neutrally critical and spending ALL this time and effort trying to provide unwanted rebuttals to every single thing, maybe you should just stay in your lane and find people who DO like the book and chat about it with them.

because i can PROMISE YOU, none of us appreciate it when you come onto our posts and start accusing us of "hating on" the author or "being rude" about her and her work and RIDICULOUS shit like that.

being critical of something and pointing out it's flaws is NOT inherently hating on it. i, frankly, do not know where people got that notion, but it's not fucking true so can we fucking quit assuming it is? and, critiquing something is also NOT the same as saying this is shit and it sucks and the author is a piece of garbage. again, where the fuck that came from is beyond me. you can be critical of something and still enjoy it. as soooo many of you love to point out, it's not perfect, why should it be perfect? so D U H. of course that means criticism can and should arise???

also. hot take (by which i mean ice fucking cold because it's NOT a fucking hot take), but going around toting FALSE facts as part of your "defense" does not make you or your argument look good. you, like the author, should maybe do a basic fact check first. 🙃

tldr, if you like the book, that's genuinely great, but stay in your fucking lane and stop seeking out posts from people who didn't like it to start shit in the notes.

#flight of icarus #stranger things #this has happened to me and to so many of my friends and im fucking SICK of it #i didn't even hate the book either!! i thought it was just okay #and yet i STILL get all these book lovers jumping down my throat about things i say about the book #things that - HONESTLY are not even like that scathing!!!!! #like god damn all im asking for is a little BASIC effort from the author and they all think thats me asking for her head on a platter #its NOT #i have no problem with the author #she's whatever to me honestly just a vessel through which the book was given to us #ALSO she is some nebulous blob way outside my orbit. AS IN any critiques i have of her and her work are NOT direct assaults on her??? #like i dont fucking KNOW her #im not saying any of this to her face #she is a published writer she should KNOW the risks she is taking when she publishes her writing #not everyone is going to like it! there are going to be people who are critical of it! there are going to be people who hate it! #critiques and pointing out mistakes and wishing for things to have been different is not a fucking direct attack #those things are actually pretty fucking common responses to ANYTHING #and a lot of times theyre actually meant as useful helpful things geared towards improvement and not something to tear someone down with #some people on the internet need to go touch grass and learn how to CRITICALLY THINK again #the world is not as black and white as you think #n e ways. rant over. if you stuck around through all of that kudos to you. i am just. at the end of my rope with this bullshit.

The concept of Chuuya reverting back to enhancing people's abilities is so funny to me, I always wondered what would happen if he and Dazai touched.

Would Dazai nullify his enhancing or would Chuuya enhance his nullifying?

Both powers work through touch, and there are no exceptions to No Longer Human, so it should be nullified instantly and do nothing.

I have been told this is the boring answer. The FUNNY answer is that it causes a split-second reaction between them touching and NLH taking effect, and so when they accidentally brush hands they experience the equivalent of a static shock and both start yelling and complaining

ON THAT NOTE

I wanted to be funny in those comics, but actually, I was thinking about what rules his ability could have. I think it's more interesting if it's always active, because that way he still has somewhat the potential of being a walking disaster with his ability. And if it's always active and works through touch, I want it to work the same way NLH works, which means he'd need to touch the person directly (skin/hair) or maybe the tool they use (Kunikida's notebook) for it to work on them. That's where the gloves come into play :)

I've also seen some people wonder about Corruption (it's gone as long as All Men Are Equal is active) and what it could mean for skk. I know that's it's a common to bring up how NLH is the only thing to stop Corruption, how Chuuya relies on Dazai for it, how Dazai going away took that power away, etc etc etc.

But I really don't think that Corruption was used all that much during their mafia days. I think we're seeing the crunchiest parts of their stories; the amount of times Corruption has been used so far in the story is not representative of the average amount of crises in Yokohama. Otherwise, they would not have survived Dazai going away for two entire years, let's be real.

Their partnership was built on more than a trump card. Dazai is not such a poor strategist and Chuuya isn't that weak without Corruption that they would need to settle for their "last resort" every month or so. All of this to say that Dazai's relationship to Chuuya is not dependant on Corruption. Corruption was never their go-to solution, and while it was its use that landed them their nickname of Double Black during the Dragon's Head Conflict, it's not what made them work as a team to begin with.

edit: why would Chuuya's ability be ability enhancing pre-lab

#much potential many scenarios wow #and no dazai's ability doesn't work THROUGH clothes #ex: why would he pinch ranpo's hair to sneakily check if he had an ability if he could have held his clothes instead #he needs direct contact to nullify the source so either the person or whatever object they use (kunikida's stuff turns back into paper) #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #ada!chuuya #ada!skk #ask answered

Carracosta and Dalia, 13 (roleswapped)?

became way too attached to this au lol

#pokemon #pkmnart #pkmn #pmd #pokemon mystery dungeon #pokemon super mystery dungeon #psmd #pmd ocs #seedot #tirtouga #simipour #braixen #oc: zaya #grovyle #oc: dalia #my gf and i were discussing how different character roles would be swapped and i kinda figured ampharos/simipour would be interesting #though tbh i don't think the bad at directions gag works as well with ampharos being a principal that doesn't really go anywhere #i think simipour is funny either way because whether he's the principal of a school or leader of a well-respected organization #he's always stoned off his ass #and we thought about having the school kids replace the beheeyem. which was funny because my gf imagined them evolved. which makes sense if #you want them to be threatening. but i was imagining them still in their base forms and seedot being scared shitless and having to run away #from a shelmet and a goomy at the beginning #anyway you will NOT comment on how awkward tirtouga's face looks. i am aware. i am never drawing that thang again #also realizing now that this was less about dalia and carracosta in particular and moreso just general roleswapping stuff so. sorry

WHAT? #ngl i can't say for sure that i don't like it bc i haven't seen the execution but. instinctually i prefer his og backstory #it just felt more grounded and linked to his setting? his whole thing is being the light and pushing batmans message further- #which is already hard for some writers to work w bc depending on interpretation that's the territory of like. 5 other guys in batfam #but duke does it in his own way with the whole working the dayshift angle. idk am i the only one hung up on the eldritch daddy thing? #bc i simply can't imagine the thought process behind that #anyway I've been thinking about the bit in robin 2021 where damian says he's never having kids. he's so real for that #he loves both his parents deeply and that series made that clear but MAN he is not passing on all this mental illness to anyone #and then i thought about how badly steph wanted to be a mom even as a teenager despite her own shitty parents #how she wanted to give someone else more than she had growing up (HOPE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A THEME FOR STEPH LISTEN TO ME) #and she ultimately gave her kid up bc she knew she couldn't give that to them at the time #oouughhhh. then i just figured that dick and cass are roughly the same in their estimation of parenthood #cass had a horrifically abusive upbringing and insanely isolated life til recent- #-all of which was due to/contributed by the parental figures in her life minus maybe barbara #i think I'd love to watch cass act as a mentor (she was a bit of a peer mentor to Steph and got along well w maps in Batgirls) #but it's hard to picture her as maternal. big sister yes. mother no. #dick is soooo dad shaped it's unreal. just as much as he is brother shaped. especially after everything with damian

my fav thing about percy & annabeth is that most people will see her as this genius mind who has all answers and will save them with her plans while percy is thinking oh yea shes batshit crazy either that works or we die god bless

which is the response HIS plans get usually

#theyre the same person but leaning in different directions #the difference between their plans is that hers have base foundations and she can explain her logic and mental steps #while percy is making shit up on the spot and EMBRACING the either it works or we die mentality. while not saying a word to anyone else #you either guess and go along or you get out of the way #the chick plan in chalice of the gods... i love them #pjo #percy jackson #annabeth chase

Really wish everyone wasn’t like “don’t go to college if you aren’t passionate about what you’re majoring in”

Like unfortunately I am not blessed enough to really have a passion, much less one I can major in and get a job about, and I am not privileged enough to just do fuck all until I somehow find that passion

So I’m gonna keep doing what gives me a direction in life, and maybe I’ll never find that passion, maybe I’m not someone who was made to love working, but if I can find a career that doesn’t overwork me while paying me enough that I can take a few days off every week and get vacation time to do hobbies, I’ll consider that the jackpot and it’ll be enough for me

#like some of us suffer from depression #and just don’t have passions #so a dream career was never on the table for us #and constant advice of ‘don’t do college if you aren’t actually passionate’ is not helpful #you wanna know what my first action is if I just stop going rn? hop off a bridge #you wanna know what my option is if I keep going? #I keep having a schedule #I have options around me to get internships #those internships will ideally lead to jobs #either directly or because it buffs up my resume #and then I just keep working #and maybe it’s not a job I love #but that was never the goal #the goal is to keep living #and it’s depressing but life is depressing when you have depression #the goal is just to get enough time to do hobbies that keep me happy and to afford living #which seems insurmountable rn but at least I have a direction for it #no fandom #I think this ended up being a vent post rather than a minor peeve #so I’m gonna tag it as #vent post

it Happened Again

i swear at this point i need to just make a post explaining why sign language for deep sea animals just Doesn't Work in their given environment. because i keep seeing people trying to do that for inclusivity and it feels worse than just realizing that its probably not the best place for a spec evo species to focus exclusively on that.

or actually maybe i just need to make a post ranting about why the mermaids from Into The Drowning Deep are so bad and made no goddamn sense despite trying so hard to be hard spec evo

#all the care guide says is 'biomass' #tl;dr its because for sign language to work you have to either see it or feel it #which is a problem. when there is no light and seeing anything at all is Hard. #and when you are free-floating animals in a place that extends off forever in all directions #ofc no one goes with the touch option either despite it being the more reasonable one #of two not very great options #just. idk. i dont think its ableist to say that ''this is one situation where this wouldnt make sense for an entire species'' #also no bioluminescence is also not the silver bullet youre looking for either #because it is NOT a very powerful light thats produced #and thus can be easily missed from too far away #and because i see. people. trying to use that bioluminescence to then make the sign language visible. #not just using the light they have already #plus its metabolically expensive to produce and you wouldnt want to over-use it
