#offer of assistance

[inspectorspacetimerevisited]

It seems many people who need the Inspector’s help

frequently refuse it, only to accept in the end, when they lose all hope.

Lois lane was not expecting her next big story to come literally knocking at her door. In the form of a two teens? Preteens?

Both black hair blue eyes, she’d have to keep them away from Bruce.

The older of the two look like he’d taken A beating, the younger of the two hyper focused on the hallway looking back and forth as if expecting someone to jump out at them.

If she can willingly jump of a roof, she most certainly could get two teens inside. They had too much to discuss.

No. A folder of info just won’t do. Come on in. Tell me everything. Secret government agency? Go on please. Just make yourselves comfortable. Portal to the afterlife?? Please more info. Need anything to eat?

She got her answers, a story, and well if two kept hanging around. That was for her to worry about.

#danny phantom #danny fenton #dcxdp #dpxdc #Lois lane is that person who looks at danger and laughs in its face #two random teens? #bet. #come on inside. it’s all good and dandy #info on the story of her life #no a folder won’t do #she tricks them by only offering assistance in between her questioning #the two stood no chance against Lois #Danny and Ellie were bested #dcxdp prompt

it would be fucking great if cops could figure that homeless people existing in public spaces like the library does not constitute a safety issue that requires their intervention

#just had a cop come up to my desk and offer to forcibly remove a couple of dudes who were literally just sitting at the table #like #why #if they were being disruptive i'd kick them out myself and never in 10 years of being a librarian have i needed police assistance for that #but they are LITERALLY just sitting there being visibly poor

fuck it, original post because i'm pissed and have no idea what else i can do.

TL;DR: i was going to be in my new house today, but we got fucked over and are playing a waiting game for an extra 10 days. requesting donations to make sure i can eat while i'm stuck here.

so 2 days ago, we got up at 5 am, packed all of our remaining belongings, packed up the cats, and began a roadtrip to our new house in new york. we were gonna stop for the night halfway, then make the rest of the trip the next day.

my mom gets a call from our attorney while we're halfway through south carolina that the house was in fact NOT empty like we were told, and the man in there was refusing to leave, stating he had movers coming on the 28th and he would not be moved before then.

so, given we were transporting 5 people and 6 cats, we made the decision to turn around and drive ALL THE WAY BACK to a completely barren house, because we were promised compensation for travel expenses and bedding and shit related to this issue if we did that, and could not be assured compensation if we tried to wait it out in a hotel.

i had to quit my job on jan 17 because we were going to leave at the end of jan, but things got delayed until this point, and now i'm staring down AT LEAST another month without any income, and i'm fucking scared.

i know everyone is strapped for money right now and i absolutely hate begging like this, but at this point even five dollars is better than what i got right now. any donations will go towards food while i'm here and groceries for the new place.

if you made it this far, thank you. even just sharing this around helps, i really don't know what else to do.

Thinking about the incubus one shot you did a few years back and now I'm just imagining a series of unexplained deaths hitting the town, and the deaths have seemingly no correlation save for the fact that the victims all bullied Dipper at one point or another, and eventually figuring out that the incubus that would later try and seduce Bill disguised as Dipper used that same trick to suck the life force out of all the victims, and it worked every time because the ones who picked on Dipper the hardest were actually crushing on him 100%. It gets hairy because only one person survived their incubus encounter, and because the incubus was disguised as Dipper, they accuse him of being some kind of killer and the town gets suspicious of him and so Bill and Dipper have to clear his name. I hope that makes sense 😭

#answers #This premise also works with any sort of shape changing thing taking Dipper's form and going to town as it were #Dipper would obviously want to clear his name #He already has enough trouble in his life without being hunted down for devouring souls #He has truth on his side so that's helpful! I figure doppelgangers/shapeshifters are a Known Factor in this world #That should buy him some reasonable doubt and enough time to get to the bottom of the murders #The hard part is convincing Bill to offer like. Any assistance at all #C'mon kid what's wrong with cultivating an aura of fear? #Who doesn't want their enemies terrified of being devoured messily or dismembered #Someone accuses Dipper of being a vicious killer and Bill just sighs wistfully in the background #Oh if only 😔 Don't get him wrong he adores his mortal #But would it kill a guy TO kill some guys just for the hell of it sometimes??

A bunch of the responses to this post of mine brought up the appeal of a (bookverse) scenario where Denethor lives.

I always find this fascinating! As I said in the post, while Denethor's tragic arc is a fantastic one that makes sense for his character, it also feels a bit like he (and to a lesser but still present extent, Faramir) gets steamrollered by the plot for the sake of Aragorn's ascension.

So what happens if he doesn't get driven to suicide by the plot? I've only read a couple of fics dealing with this, long ago (not on AO3), and both resolved it by having Denethor ultimately come around to Team Aragorn. Personally, it's difficult for me to imagine him doing this of his own free will in basically any scenario.

But what does happen?

I'm not sure, but personally, I always think of three basic ways to avert the "Denethor conveniently removes himself from the picture, leaving a dying Faramir to be convinced by mystical kingly healing" situation without drastically changing the circumstances. Here they are:

Scenario 1

In canon, Denethor briefly regains his sanity when Faramir calls out to him and vacillates for a moment before committing to self-destruction. This scenario can split off there: what if he'd swung the other way and come out of it?

At this point, multiple people are dead as a result of Denethor's despair and Faramir is still dying. His position is about as shaky as possible. What now?

Scenario 2

Let's rewind further. Faramir is brought in per canon, sickened from an arrow + the Black Breath. Denethor considers one last, desperate look into the palantír, but stays with Faramir instead. He never despairs completely and never goes mad. He's right there when Aragorn heals Faramir.

This likely means that Faramir loses his TTT ambivalence the same way as in canon and is a firm supporter of Aragorn. But Denethor (though affected in some way by the restoration of his son) still has major reservations and hasn't jeopardized himself nearly as much as in Scenario #1. This is going to be messy.

Scenario 3

But if we really want to unwind the way the plot is structured to brush Denethor's and Faramir's initial reservations aside without really engaging with them, we've got to go further back. Change exactly one thing: Faramir isn't dying. He's not even that sick, at least not yet.

As a result, Denethor isn't driven to despair. Faramir is basically fine at this point and does not need to be pulled out of the shadows by Aragorn (and thus unlikely to immediately recognize Aragorn as king). Aragorn is not going to push the kingship matter during the height of a war for survival. The best case scenario (IMO) is that, somehow, Denethor is still convinced to send troops to the Morannon as a tactical maneuver, the Ring is still destroyed, and the question of Aragorn's claim is handled afterwards.

How is it handled, though?

#for 3: in all honesty i can see denethor unbending enough to somewhat assist in the rebuilding of arnor #given everything aragorn did for gondor #it's hard for me to see denethor doing more than that #so ultimately what happens is going to turn on /aragorn's/ response #does he wait for denethor to die? does he demand a formal ruling? does he use his popularity and heroics to force the matter informally? #does he take what's offered for now to help his people? #lot of ways it could go! #anghraine babbles #plotbunnies! #legendarium blogging #legendarium fanwank #denethor #aragorn #faramir #long post

Tom Cruise joining the strike negociations like he needs this strike to be over as fast as possible for his sanity.

no one is more aware of what his brain is like when he’s bored than him

#i think it’s cool and good that he offered his assistance and SAG asked him to join negotiations and he did #the only A Lister who did #keep that in mind when you see articles trying to call him anti union #the studios are probably livid that their golden boy is fighting against them

Respectfully. I am tired of being helpful :)

#hold on let me have the five seconds of indignation out and i shall be sane again #i taught the first engineer boy to buy flowers for his performing significant other at a concert #i taught him how to roll up his sleeves and fix his darn shirt. and how to dress for this kind of event #i stayed with him because he was a little antsy about meeting the girl's parents #i taught him to offer to hold a lady's bag on the walk home #and that was just today. i did not need to do those things WHY did i do those things #i am thankfully not in love with him anymore so that's not the problem #the problem is that im sick and tired of being the one who Helps and the one who Aids and the one who assists in smoothing the way for his #happiness. and that is a bit of a blanket statement im not claiming to have formed him like pygmalion and galatea or anything #it is just. i know i HAVE smoothed the way and i know there is no thanks for it not that im asking for it #i just resent the fact that this is my role. stagehand in other people's stories #again!!!!!!!!!!!!! #like why am i the one teaching you how to treat a girl well. considering the history and circumstances

Time for ebegging. hi guys I'm disabled and currently jobless, I've been scraping by without work and on savings and loans for over a year now due to my disability flaring up to where I couldn't keep my job at the time. I have been searching consistently for a job and keep getting turned down left and right. I had a car crash in March that drained my savings and took my car with it. Now, I don't have the money to pay for my base costs for this month, let alone going forward. If you could shoot me some money at my cashap or paypl I'd appreciate it greatly. If not I'd appreciate a share. Thanks.

MAiD is not a mercy -- it's an excuse to refuse to spend money on sick people who need it so their lives can improve. It's a way to guilt vulnerable people who could heal into killing themselves, because apparently needing help from others means you should just die actually. Fuck you, Canadian government.

#i'm in full support of assisted suicide when the person is in pain and unfortunately can't be relieved until they die #unbearable pain* #but offering it to suicidally mentally ill people like myself #to prisoners and the homeless #to a transsexual person I follow on twitter who had botched bottom surgery and no one wants to help. he's already officially set a date. #I can't fucking believe it #they broke his body for money and now they're killing him to get out of paying to fix it #it's fucking evil.

i was falling asleep, and then i thought about how Binah in LoR was probably becoming increasingly lonely after her time in Lob Corp, which is why she was trying so hard to have teatime with the other librarians and now i am 100% awake

#project moon #lobotomy corporation #library of ruina #binah #binah lobcorp #binah library of ruina #well i'm definitely not tired anymore #this thought is giving me too many ideas #like if you're assigned to her floor and maybe were the first person to attend teatime #because she extends the offer to her assistant librarians i said it so it's true #would love to write or draw this weekend but i'm busy #so i'll let this marinate here
