Prompt 131

Okay, so first of all Dan would like to say it’s not his fault. Ellie was the one to bring some unknown object into the speeder and Jazz was the one driving. Or had Sam been driving- didn’t matter! It wasn’t his fault, he wasn’t the one shooting at them, he wasn’t the one to break whatever, he was not the one to open a stupid portal, and so it wasn’t his fault! 

So why is he now like, five years old, and why is the speeder crashed in some sort of corn field. Why is everyone- except for Jazz whose now like six- also like three at most?! And- oh fuck the door just opened and… okay that’s a kid. Like, nine at most. 

A kid and an adult, who he hadn’t noticed at first so again, it’s not his fault if he hissed at them and tried to hide his not-siblings behind him. It’s also not fair they’re apparently stuck to ghost speak for who knows how long, but at least they can understand the people. 

“Martha, get some blankets, it’s happened again!” 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #What is up with the Kents cornfield that a spaceship with alien children has crashed there twice #Clark: Omg am I an older brother now?? What does an older brother do?? #He's going to be so excited when the kids start flying too #Clark: I have eight whole siblings now! #The Kents will end up the most experienced couple in raising superpowered children #Clark: This is Jazz and Dan and Tucker and Danny and Sam and Valerie and Ellie and I love them #The Kents now have two ships hidden on their property lol #and a green glowing dog of some sort that came with one group #the phamily actually get to be kids and don't Have to be vigilantes or are parentified or anything and it's... actually kind of nice #It's peaceful #Ellie definitely doesn't hide the fact she's a clone #They're very limited when re-learning how to talk human language again #so they say some rather concerning things without giving any context for it #not that it isn't concerning even with context anyway lol #Ma and Pa kent nearly cry when they hesitantly ask if their names can be kent too #Clark cries when he goes to metropolis because the kids all cling and try to get him to stay

Nothing will be more hilarious to me than the party's - specially Ben's - outrage about Alex's sneaky reference to William Shakespeare slowly fading as they remember that half of the NPCs are actually historical figures. Like they are genuinally going "what's this assassin's creed? You put Shakespeare in the gift Augusta Leight gave to our honorary party member Oscar Wilde while waiting for Ada Lovelace and Nikola Tesla to see if we can talk to the brain of Charles Babbage about the mission Albert Einstein teleported us to? Shakespeare a whole historical person? "

#on a very different note wilde getting shakespeare cloack gives me a lot of joy #because i always loved wilde's essay about shakespeare loving another man #how he defends that even if it isn't true it is important that it is because it means something #it's the quintecencial finding a bit of queer subtext of wondering if that person is like you #is the reason we wear pins and tattos and green carnations #is the power of representativity of not feeling alone is why historical queers matter #and Wilde definitivaly became for a generation of young queers specially gay man what Shakespeare was for him #i don't think alex considered any of that at all #it was 100% just haha shakespeare was THE Bard haha #but it still matters to me #rqg #rusty quill gaming

Do you guys really believe that killing is the singular bad thing that cops do?

Or even that killing is the most frequent bad thing that cops do?

Are you saying that if cops didn't kill, then they'd be the same as Batman? Because then you're suggesting that effectively Batman already is a cop, with the exception that he hasn't killed (just like the majority of U.S. cops, who have never once shot or killed anybody).

I'm a bit worried to see opinions suggesting that only killing is wrong—and that violence, stalking, and humiliation are okay. In real-life, police commit countless acts of those "little" abuses, terrorizing entire communities, before they murder anybody.

Invading people's privacy is wrong. Hurting people to the point of hospitalization is wrong. Forcibly drugging people is wrong. Putting people in cages is wrong. Torture and "enhanced interrogation" are wrong. Ambushing people in their homes and safe places is wrong. Keeping inexhaustible wealth is wrong.

Superhero comics are power fantasies. Not all fantasies need to reflect our ideology in reality. But once you apply your real-life values to fiction, once you decide that fiction showcases exemplary real-life ideology—then your praise for Batman's ideology does become a worrying reflection of your real-life understanding of social issues.

#copaganda #Bruce Wayne critical #GCPD #fandom discourse #Batman copaganda #police brutality cw #Almost sorry to drag serious discussion of copaganda into ridiculous superhero comics but I swear the other guys started it first... #To be clear I'm completely disinterested in condemning or interrogating Bruce over his personal choice not to kill. #But I am so fascinated in how he justifies his own use of violence and privilege!!! So very very fascinated!! #Once again: LESLIE THOMPKINS IS RIGHT. #Actually I'm not gonna tag this post as @nti Bruce W@yne--because really I enjoy canon Bruce a hell of a lot more than his stans do lol. #Sorry but Batman isn't a darling anti-cop revolutionary. If he were then he'd get in line behind Green Arrow and like the Invisibles. #I mean maybe The Audio Adventures version is anti cop but still in a free-market libertarian power fantasy kind of way if you can dig that. #violence mention cw #murder mention cw #fandom drama #This is why Cheer doesn't work because Red Hood realizes 'Oh I don't want kids to lose their parents like I lost mine-- #--therefore I won't murder anymore. It's time to put my faith in the system. 👼👼👼' #Jason sweetie... you lost your father firstly to criminalization and incarceration for property crime. #You lost your mother to poverty and addiction. You are actually not like Batdaddy and your trauma is not a mere echo of his trauma. #Batman discourse

It's Mermay and I saw so many things on Tumblr AND Twitter...especially two posts that influenced me in actually making a mermay post for DC...so I must introduce you to The Little Mermaid but Halbarry....(I have 2 more wips of this but here is part 1!!)

Eel Barry looking at Human Hal VERY fondly

#okay but these two for the song 'one step closer' from the broadway version...like.. #I actually wanted to make Ollie scuttle in the one with Barry looking at Hal #But at the same time I want him to be Sebastian supporting the two with his best singing impression of 'kiss the girl' #speedster ramble #ERMMMM #this is the most biggest pieces ive done in awhile that isn't on ibispaint #this is me exploring clipstudio #halbarry #YES the halbarry post #I ACTUALLY ADORE THESE DRAWINGS I MADE LIKE IM SCREAMING #also Hal wearing a little ponytail....in the other picture... #hal jordan #barry allen #dc comics #green lantern #the flash #ERRRR #my art #im talking to the halbarry fandom and speaking very carefully about this #who would be ursula and flounder though (sob) #Barry fell first but Hal fell harder #dc #KISS THE MAN... #mermay #me doing a monthly art trend(?) no way... #actually my first mermay ever #btw Barry is an eel...and yes he still has his bolt scarring

no but hearing people's stories about how they got into mcr is so funny because most mcr fans are also total nerds and we get into the band in the most weird ways. like, for example, i got into mcr because i was 13 years old and obsessed with harry potter and was watching a youtube video about songs that represented each hogwarts house and teenagers started playing for slytherin. deadass that is how i discovered mcr

#my aunt bought me the harry potter series when i was 12 #and now i have a whole folder in my phone dedicated to photos of a he/they from new jersey #i bet this isn't what she intended #honestly i probably would have discovered them anyway. what with my music history up to that point #before mcr i was obsessed with green day. like OBSESSED. and they're obviously different. but there's a pipeline there fs #nevertheless. mcr fans are total dorks and it's just very funny to me #mcr #my chemical romance #harry potter #mike hemical rome ants

One day Bart will lock eyes with someone from across a room and sparks will fly. It will be an instant connection and Bart will know, right in that moment, that he's found the one. His partner in crime. His other half. His soulmate. It will truly be a sight to see. It's always a beautiful moment when a young speedster first finds their Green Lantern.

#the joke is that speedsters and green lanterns pair bond. get it? its always funnier when you have to explain the joke #anyway for real tho when is Bart getting his GL buddy #its absolutely criminal that he doesn't have one yet #i mean Keli is his age but Keli isn't his soul bonded Green Lantern #theres a very specific GL for each speedster. not every GL gets one. like Barry didn't have Hal Guy and John #he just has Hal. even though the other two are still in his age range #basically what im saying is that Keli isn't Bart's soulbond and there will be more as he ages #but yeah. seriously tho. the speedsters and GLs. they've got weird horse girl energy but for each other #dc #dc comics #the flash #speedsters #impulse #kid flash #bart allen #green lantern #flash fam

I feel so bad for Ares cuz there's Zeus who clearly loves and favors his children (Apollo, Athena, Artemis, among others) but doesn't give a shit about Ares. Like in the Iliad when Ares went to him for comfort, all he got was a lecture. Worse than a lecture. Didn't he basically tell him he hated him?

#damn. i love zeus and all. very interesting character. but loving your children equally isn't that hard u idiot #green mythology #greek myths #greek gods #zeus deity #ares god of war #apollo deity #athena deity #artemis deity #<- only mentioned #avis' post

Michael Craze pops up as Vince Kelly, a teenage runaway from a borstal centre, in Gideon's Way: Boy With Gun (1.23, ITC, 1966)

#fave spotting #michael craze #ben jackson #doctor who #gideon's way #1966 #boy with gun #itc #a relatively rare fave spotting! outside of his DW work‚ Mike didn't make a huge amount of appearances in cult tv‚ at least not many that #survive or are easily seen; he'd previously starred in Target Luna‚ a completely lost serial‚ but didn't return when the show carried on as #Pathfinders in Space (oddly‚ perhaps because of a change of director‚ every single returning character was recast) and beyond #there were also episodes of Dixon pf Dock Green and Armchair Theatre but these are also in all likelihood lost tv; others‚ like an ep of #Hammer's sci fi anthology Journey to the Unknown‚ are frustratingly unavailable to the average viewer (I was really hoping Network would #do something with JttU after they announced an agreement with Hammer but alas it wasn't to be) #mike would have been about 22 when filming this ep (around May '65) but was still largely playing juvenile parts as here #(his age isn't given but as a borstal runaway he's clearly intended to be a teen); this aired in feb or march '66 in most regions‚ by which #time he had presumably been cast in DW (or very near to it; he'd debut in The War Machines in June of that year) #DW would act as a sort of transition for Craze from youth parts into adult roles (i mean Ben's own age is debatable but I'd say he's surely #meant to be at least 18?). there'd be some more guest spots and a few horror films to come (he was a regular collaborator with Norman #J. Warren) but he doesn't pop up with the regularity of many other Who companions so this was a lovely little surprise (zero memory of him #being in it from when i first watched years ago)

#blorbo meme #wrestlebloggin #i admit that one of these is a joke based entirely on a crack headcanon #specifically one that says that the reason okada is so pissy #is that he gets teleported directly to the venue from his hotel room without warning #and isn't particularly happy about it #he'd rather be eating a cheeseburger on a lawn chair in a green void #but oops! turns out he's an immensely talented wrestler who has to go to work #it's loud and bright and hot and terribly inconvenient #and what is even the point of a travel day if he's just going to be teleported directly from his hotel room? #it's all just a lot and he's very right to be grumpy about it

marriage

ok I wanna talk about these posts

Now I don't wanna say these posts are wrong or that I disagree with them, but they are only two of many that I see in a similar vein and my general take is: We need to change the way we have this conversation.

Because yes. It is true that young people get indoctrinated on TikTok (and other platforms including tumblr!) in the same way older generations get indoctrinated through FOX News or Facebook.

But we can't let these conversations always start and stop with "these groups are gullible and THIS vague entity is responsible for it and I am so smart for realising this and they're stupid for not realising it".

We need to finally start solution-oriented conversations. We need people who don't just point at the problem but actually talk about how we can fix it.

TikTok has an issue with misinformation that users don't have the tools to recognise?

Well here's a list of only a few of the TikTok accounts that fight this issue right on the platform where they can get these users' attention.

MediaWise

Abbie Richards

Aslan Pahari

Astro Alexandra

Professor Casey

Hank Green

Adam Conover

All of these, to varying degrees, correct misinformation and/or provide tools to promote media literacy. Some even want to help change the platform altogether.

I know not everyone who wants to help can do things like this, but a good place to start helping change things would be to support these accounts and all the other people out there doing what they do. Most of them are on other platforms or have websites (or Patreon/Ko-Fi/etc bc monetary support for these efforts is important too) if you don't wanna get a TikTok account to help them get more attention.

And here is a Masterpost where I collect resources for how to improve your own media literacy and how to help others do the same (and I promise you, no matter how smart or skilled or media-literate you think you are, you will learn something new from these). This masterpost is updated regularly and includes a longer list of TikTok users to follow as well.

So next time you see a post like this about how stupid TikTok users are for falling for conspiracies or how Facebook is nothing but fake news or whatever, think about whether the post is actually helping in some way or only trying to make tumblr users feel superior over others, and maybe try to share something you learned here instead.

#some problems ARE fixable but sarcasm and bitterness isn't the way to do it #I know this post is long but I'd appreciate if ppl still read and shared it #I just don't like this generalising attitude #tumblr users aren't any more safe from misinformation and posts like these just promote that assumption #which in turn leads to tumblr users becoming even mkre vulnerable to it bc they believe they're immume just bc they're not on TikTok #you know exactly like the post itself said abt tiktok users #this is just a very toxic way to have this conversation #and I'm not saying the frustration isn't justified #but they do nothing at best and actual damage at worst #and worst of all they look at vulnerable ppl and essentially call them stupid #they're not any more stupid than you or me. they just don't have the tools to navigate information online yet #but we can actually help with that #so let's try okay #media literacy #misinformation #disinformation #conspiracy theories #abbie richards #hank green #tiktok #tumblr #fake news #positive mental attitude #id in alt

"Did you know Julius almost picked green for the Saints?"

I officially have too many villain AU Casey designs but I'm just glad I managed to draw something again honestly! 😊

This one's from a roleplay with @/iamkinzie and @/zoo-the-saint and Casey functions as an antagonist to the Saints.

She's not "evil" per se or even that unpleasant as a person but she's certainly looking to take back what she feels she deserves had Julius left the Saints to her as she did co-fulfil the Playa role at first.

I'd be happy to talk more about this AU if people are interested 🙂

#at first i was just going to use the green as an allusion to the original saints colours #and bc emerald green is my favourite colour #but then i decided to make it an in-universe explanation #the rest of the gang is in green she's just a show-off #this casey isn't as great for money so sacrifices need to be made with guns and stuff and everything is very fake #zoo is the boss here so the contrast between their hair and clothing is more noticeable than usual #and i was having a little play with textures and line weight #sr boss: casey clark #saints row #stuff i drew
