#people have concocted

[blueiight]

will never not be endlessly fascinating how people attach their identities or sense of selves to fictional characters to where when u actually talk about the story people get all in their feelings and shit bruh tighten up

#and ts funny bc ppl overidentify w these characters at the expense of the characters rich backgrounds #a brown muslim vampire who was turned during the inquisition the moor in venice is endlessly more interesting than the generic faceless fano #people have concocted #louis and claudia in new orleans have such a different past despite being blocks from eachother and its all so interesting theyre not just #faceless constructs of ‘black’ diversity bridgerton hires they come from a specific place and time but ppl dont give af #lestat’s french background is essential to who he is in AUs meanwhile yall think brown/black are generic identifiers w no bg that informs #characterization and motives #then the majority of fandumb weirdos are losers who got high on their own supply and genuinely believe an entire 7 episode season means noth #ng #considering pre s1/ongoing s1 theories was that armand was lestat in a brown body this fanbase is sooooo stupid like #everyone is stupid and im dumber for it

A Brothers Reunion

The small summoning circle lit up, casting a soft green glow, as two eyes watched it with weary hope.

——————————————————

Two demons argued violently about a soul, and Danny sighed from his spot on the throne that fully claimed him a month ago. While he still found it hilarious how thoroughly this guy managed to swindle so many of the high ranking demons, it had started to cross into annoying territory. Danny was seriously considering making a whole office dedicated specifically to hold all the paperwork one ‘John Constantine’ was seemingly generating with his very presence. Suddenly, Danny felt a soft tug on his core, much gentler then the summoning rituals of all those crazy cultists that keep popping out of nowhere used. More like the circles he gave to Sam Tucker or Jazz. But he could feel the summoner’s emotions, and the poor guy on the other end felt like he was about to cry.

Danny mentally went through everyone he’s given his personal line to. Then, he shot up and called for Fright Knight to send the demons away while Danny quickly allowed himself to be pulled through the summoning circle to where his brother waited anxiously.

——————————————————

The circle flared, and a large eldrich like figure quickly crawled through. Then, a very familiar voice muttered

“Man I wish these things weren’t so dramatic. I already scared the shit out of the justice league because of it” as the being’s form shifted to the more familiar form he took when seeing Damian for the first time in a decade. His white hair looked a little longer now, and his eyes a less toxic green.

“Danyal” Damian said stiffly. Danny looked up, making eye contact with Damian before responding

“Damian” in response Damian lunged, pressing a blade to Danny’s neck before asking a question only Danny could answer.

“What’s the last story you told me?” Danny simply smiled nostalgically,

“There’s the Damian I know. I told you about Canis Minor 16 days before I died the first time.” Damian heasitated before putting away his weapon and paused before he quickly started to hug Danny, who returned the hug.

“… first time?” Damian asked, still in Danny’s arms.

“Mother didn’t tell you what happened to me after, did she?” Danny asked into his twins hair. Damian didn’t even bother to say anything and just turned his head to look at Danny balefully, before Danny sighed and said

“Of course she didn’t. I was dunked into the Lazarus pits, before mother dropped me off in the middle of nowhere America, where she forbade me from ever talking about my old life or ever attempting to contact you.” Damian paused to process this, before saying

“And the second time?” Danny sighed at that, his face set into a grimace. Damian started to move, bringing Danyal over to his bed, where Danny realized Damian had summoned Danny in his room. Damian sat them both onto his bed, and curled further into Danny’s arms, while gesturing to continue.

“I was adopted by a couple who claimed to be ‘ectobiologists’ who already had an older daughter named Jazz. She’s my sister.” Damian nodded solemnly at that, mentally adding ‘Jazz’ to his list of siblings. Danny pulled out his brick of a phone and started showing Damian pictures of his adoptive parents, his sister and everything else as he spoke about it. “They’d been working on a project in their lab since before they adopted me, longer then they’re had Jazz even. When I was fourteen, they finally tried to turn it on. It failed. It was a portal to what they called ‘The Ghost Zone’, but that realm is much more. The Infinite Realms are the glue that holds all universes together, and its a kind of afterlife. They didn’t know half of that, only that some souls of humans who died stay there, and even then, they thought that these ghosts were only a husk of their former selves, and couldn’t feel pain.” Damian started to connect the dots at that and asked

“You’re one of these ghosts?” It was almost a statement, but Damian wasn’t going to make many assumptions. Danny nodded before continuing

“I had two friends who convinced me to show them the failed portal. I walked inside of the portal we assumed was completely defunct, and I tripped over one of the many wires on the floor. When I tried to stabilize myself, I hit the on button.” Damian’s eyes widened, and he froze while Danny paused. After a moment, Danny continued, saying “My adoptive parents had connected the portal to the towns power grid, and the portal opened up on top of me. Electricity and ectoplasm, what ghosts and the Infinite Realms are made of, clashed inside my body, killing me and reviving me repeatedly until the portal finally spit me back out. I only half died that day.” Danny put his phone away and focused on playing with Damian’s hair. Damian reveled in his brothers affectionate touch like when they were small.

“Half?” Damian asks after a minute or two.

“Half. I technically have several ghost forms, and I have a human form” Damian looked up from Danyal’s arms, his eyes asking the obvious question he was a little afraid to ask, though he’d never admit it. Danny smiled at the unasked question, and rings of light formed around him, before dissipating and revealing a very much alive eighteen year old Danyal Nightingale. He grabbed one of Damian’s hands and pressed it against his neck, allowing Damian to revel in feeling his former dead brother’s pulse. Damian tested Danny’s wrist, and put his ear against Danny’s now warm chest.

Damian will deny the appearance of tears to his death, but Danny didn’t say anything, he just held Damian closer. After a while Danyal started to talk about the stars. Filling the silence with quiet but passionate rambling about stars and space. It was familiar. It was safe and warm and then Richard ruined the moment by slamming open Damian’s door yelling about a ‘Family Game Night’ and got a knife for his troubles. Of course he dodged with practiced ease, but then he realized Damian wasn’t alone in his room. Time seemed to freeze at the stand off. Dick had frozen, as the joy on his face seemed to leach away at the realization that there was an intruder.

#sorry for the cliffhanger #I have no idea what else to write #You can tell who’s pov is being focused on by how people are referred to #didn’t even realize I was doing it till like half way through #dpxdc #demon twins au #demon twins #be fed foul creatures #seems y’all like what awful concoctions I make so here #feel free to use as inspo #I would like credit if only so I can tell and be so happy that my work has inspired more #I am chronically online so I’ll probably see it #unless it’s on twi- I mean X #it’s a disease and I don’t have my shots #also yes Dick is indeed jealous of this rando being able to hold Damian and give him affection without the threat of bodily harm lmao

At this point, gender nonconformity is about what the person says their experience is.

If a woman with a beard or a man with lipstick and a mustache says they're gender nonconforming, then they are! If a woman with short hair or a man with long hair says they aren't, they aren't! And that's not even getting into the awesome nonbinary, abinary, genderqueer, intersex, and general genderfuckery that may both be and not be conforming.

So much of what is even considered gender conforming or gender nonconforming is based on a world of exclusion. When we start defining one's conformity with whether they fit into white cishetero perisex standards or not, we play into the idea that there's only a very narrow window of what is considered worthy of time and thought.

#gender nonconformity #gnc #queer #like. for instance a native man who keeps long hair might be considered GNC by white standards but for him it's absolutely not nonconformit #there's an aspect of white supremacy that silences everything else while saying that other culture's silence is indicative of whiteness... #...being 'correct' or 'moral' or 'neutral' #and as somebody who's trans and last i checked white i have my own thoughts from my own experiences #like how i don't consider myself to really be a GNC man. i'm just. man+ #i'm a weird concoction of weird soup that tastes like a man but if it were Wrong #and i just don't see that as not conforming to manhood like it is seperate. i see it as irrevocably linked TO manhood #it is others who have excluded and exiled me from manhood because of *their* understanding of me and how i 'fit in' in cissexism #while i will never ever say i know what it's like to not be white i will say these conversations that PoC have started have been INVALUABLE #i am forever grateful to have been extended the patience and faith to listen in on the experiences of people... #...who are racialized in terms of gender and how they do/don't 'fit in' with often white supremacist views on gender/dynamics #may have made a post like this years back but. eh. arrest me officer i will not back down #i've been more and more 'gnc' as i go into my transition and i don't see it as nonconformity but as an outlet for my masculinity #which is why i'm not insecure about my crafts and creations. because it is coming from a male whether or not it's considered 'manly' #i have little to *no place* in cissexist society so why should i put any stakes into if they ~accept~ me #made this post while jamming out to skyrim's tavern OST (paused my game to write this) #why the HELL does the skyrim tavern music have to go SO HARD. i NEED to slam down BARRELS of mead while listening to this istg #i don't even LIKE honey so i haven't tried mead but. for skyrim i would.

MMIW as a slogan for a movement to get justice for its titled victims doesnt even put a particular blame on any one person or group, it's an all encompassing slogan to talk about particularly Native women who have gone missing or been murdered due to Native targeted racism/misogyny. It could be for any reason, under any circumstance.

So the fact that whoever made these bots to spam the mmiw tags with posts about how mmiw is a "hoax" by the Canadian government & Royal family, and how these posts always add in a quip about how police and oil workers "aren't to blame" tells you something about what kind of person is behind it.

#the Canadian government literally does not give a shit about Native people & would watch us burn if it meant they could have more oil #& the royal family literally have pretty much nothing to do with us either so why they would concoct a hoax for us is beyond me

I have so far avoided talking about this publicly because I don't care for airing drama, but today I was shown something that has crossed the line so hard that I can't keep ignoring this weird one-sided feud any longer.

@elfinismsarts, you need to stop.

It's really weird that literally a year and a half after we last interacted you're still holding onto this bizarre idea that every comment or anon you don't like comes from me/my friends, and that I'm spearheading some kind of targeted harassment campaign against you. It's sad that I know you won't believe me when I say I'm not and never have, and that nearly a full year on from your callout post about me, I have much, much better ways to spend my time and energy.

I'm in my thirties. I don't have 'enemies'. I honestly find it a bit embarrassing and juvenile that you do, and that based on your reddit account you're still posting literally every few days about these 'enemies' who--I repeat--haven't interacted with you since 2021.

Until now I was willing to just roll my eyes and ignore it. But I can't ignore that you apparently think it's completely fine and normal to track down my irl socials, identity, habits and family and then post about it publicly with thinly veiled allusions to what you could do with that information if you had malicious intent.

Grow up and go away; it's going to be incredibly sad to have to address this again in another eighteen months otherwise. And if you can't do that, my boyfriend says you could at least buy his album.

Evidence that OP of the screenshot is @/elfinismsarts under the cut.

#i find it pretty unlikely that one could easily stumble across my instagram with just my first name #given it IS a real not uncommon if non-anglo name #and my account is otherwise unconnected to my fandom presence or usernames except for following a few artists #i have also had 'elfinisms and all accounts made by this person' blocked for about a year and a half #so let's not pretend this isn't what it is #which is: a deliberate and targeted invasion of my privacy #based on nothing except 'branson and bori both start with a b so they're clearly the same person' #this-to quote the bf again-'end boss villain' persona you've concocted for me is so childish #believe it or not people can not like your writing or not like you without ever having met me #mind you it is pretty funny to accuse me of cyberstalking then following it with four paragraphs of...*checks notes* #opossum speaks

If the Doctor isn't a timelord then that means they potentially have different reactions to substances than they previously thought, ergo I just know that Thirteen, in all of her feral glory, runs around testing their reactions to things upon learning about their Timeless Child origins without her companions finding out

#dw posting #Thirteenth Doctor #Timeless Child #ginger has an intoxicating effect on timelords and aspirin is deadly to them but the doctor isnt a timelord so how does it affect them? #you really expect me to believe thirteen wasnt immediately shoving things in her mouth to test it out? the soil muncher? #she absolutely consumes a ton of ginger to see if shes been placeboing themself before risking the aspirin #cause that ones a little harder to hide from any conpanions if its backfires and she also digs up the chameleon arc manual from the library #to see if that might have affected anything maybe they ARE a timelord in the sense that john smith was 'human' #which leads to a separate research spiral that is ongoing alongside the substances experiment theyre concocting whilst people are sleeping #saw a post with ten3 correcting donna that theyre not actually a timelord and #i was hit with the realisation that the doctor must have a different fcked up unknown biology and we are not utilising that fact enough

⏤ BEFORE & AFTER COLORING CHALLENGE

i was tagged by @strayz and @hoeranghaee, thank you both 💖

all the original colorings are in the circles. as you can see i don’t really have any sort of consistent coloring style hjdkjfshj it mostly depends on the video! i don’t have base psds or anything like that, but i do mostly gravitate towards some core elements: deepening blacks (and more often than not making them soft or “matte”), trying to strike a skin tone balance that is lively, not washed out, but not too pink or too yellow, and getting rid of cyans (but again the last gif clearly has cyan in it so i guess it just depends how i’m feeling that day 😶‍🌫️)

my favorite layers are selective color, curves, and hue/saturation, sometimes i’ll use color balance and levels, and on rare occasions i’ll throw a vibrance or contrast layer in there! i love experimenting and learning new things about coloring and i’m consistently inspired by the ccs on here, you are all wizards ♡  

i think most people have already done it but i am going to tag @seo-changbinnies @hyunebear @hanjisungz @bangzchan @agibbangs @yonglixx ​if you already did it and i missed it please send it over to me, i would love to see!! 🥰

If you told me six months ago that Tango and Jimmy would be a duo that has such a grip on this fandom I would think there's no possible way that could happen and yet.

#bitter chirps #i am not immune to ranchers #though i am mostly just psychoanalyzing tango #dl really was the perfect uuh. concoction. turn of events. literally if it had been anyone else or a slightly different situation and yet. #dl is THE ideal tango environment #maybe minus the painful deaths but yknow other than that #he literally has a guy to care about. and the guy also cares about him. and they have to work together. it does not get any better than that #idk something about the types of games he plays with other people.. #he loooveees having a guy he loves cooperation but this time he doesn't know this guy that well!!! #and the first time they meet it's because he died and it cost both of their lives #so there's this precedent of 'oh i need to do better if we want to survive and we need to do so together' #then yknow usual tango stuff #yeag #idk man i'm tired i'm just rambling ghfgdffdgf

It's hilariously therapeutic to watch Cutthroat Kitchen because a lot of the time, when a man loses, he has the funniest little reaction.

Like even if the judge was very clear and explicit about why he got voted off, he'll be like "I thought my dish was great. I shouldn't have been voted off. I deserved to win, because I'm a good chef no matter what the judge said." (When they've done things like serve uncooked meat or used a plain century egg as garnish)

Like goddamn, people are surviving just fine, without constantly being upset with themselves for small mistakes? They can even ignore huge mistakes and chose to believe they are perfect, and apparently this has been a successful survival technique for them because they're still alive.

So maybe I can forgive myself for small things. Maybe I can be nice to myself about it. Apparently I could even lie to myself about it and pretend it wasnt a big deal or wasnt my fault I'd probably be fine--so it's probably okay if I let some cereal expire, and if I can't fend off the guilt and self-loathing about it, then its a valid option to just say "well its the cereal's fault for expiring" or something silly to escape the pointless unbearable guilt.

Like I don't plan to do that for meaningful mistakes, but why not resort to Overconfident Man Confidence to dodge debilitating shame over throwing away a single paper bag that I've been reusing for months and it's finally beyond use but I feel like I'm wasting resources and should fix it? My guilt and shame aren't playing fair or logical so I am allowed to use sneaky tricks like "borrowing confidence from a man raised to believe he is never wrong" to fight back lol.

#sorenhoots #i know its just a silly show but it makes me happy when i see people lose gracefully. when theyre like “dang i did mess up on that. ill #remember that in the future as i continue to be the great chef i know i am“ like yay growth and happiness and kindness. but when theyre lik #“i guess the judge doesnt appreciate FLAVOR” when they have concocted a flavor generally unliked--yknow its good to push limits with art bu #when you are making something to be palatable you...have to....make it palatable lol. and if you want to be proud of your weird dish then #thats super cool and i love that but when you blame your loss on “it isnt my fault they didnt like my absolutely bizarrely seasoned food” #mmm it is kinda ur fault at that point. and in a competition to impress judges you might not always win when you gamble and take risks. #idk. maybe it doesnt even matter! who cares about humbleness? why do i care that they recognize their own limited control and power #over their circumstances? probably im just mad because i cant relate to their uninjured ego. perhaps i should try to have a stubborn ego #just once and see how it goes. maybe next time i die in a video game i will say “uwaa well its the DEVELOPERS fault for making the game too #hard“ and see how it feels :p probably feels silly but maybe it will widen my perspective and allow me to see a third option besides #self loathing or refusal to admit fault. :3

one day I'll finally talk/write abt what happens between them on scylla but I think nonstop abt what his vision mom says

#like imagine getting wizard high on a deadly concoction of illegal space drugs together #and ur will they won't they ride or die starts having hallucinations that you can also see of his mom and himself #and at one point his vision mom looks at you after berating him #and starts going on about how meeting you was finally a good influence in her son's life #and how after everything you've been through together if you try to tell him you still think he's a good man #he gets so sad and tells you he doesn't think he can agree #and you have to sit there and listen to everything his subconscious thinks abt himself and the hopeless path he's been stuck on #and listen to his subconscious thoughts bleeding into what he really thinks of you and ouggghhhhhh #and then having whatever high no filter conversations you want them to have that night #(hi this is huge for faith and max reciprocation and reconciliation after fallbrook and etc etc etc) #and I always think abt how mellowed out he is the next morning and him and faith having to finally acknowledge and talk abt EVERYTHING #especially what just happened last night #and I always think abt them walking back to the ship together finally talking to each other again #and I think abt her saying to him something abt his vision mom saying she was a good influence on him #and I think abt him glancing at her and giving a small quick smile before quietly saying it's true #the same way he said to martin on groundbreaker #when talking abt how the people of edgewater were good people doing the best with what they had #oughhhh bc he knows bc those were his own unfiltered thoughts of course he agrees #sorry I'm very exhausted I need to be emo abt something #rambling #faith and max

I am having fun playing with the portal swap stuff but i feel like if you switch who goes into the portal you lose a lot of both of their characters 

(or at least when i do it i do)

#im sure other people do it better adsfdsgf #but the version my head has concocted at least you lose a lot #and you especially lose stans relationship with dipper #i might still post more stuff though maybe #i have a lot written down on paper #and a chunk of expectations the show subverted sorta become like- unsubverted #reverted
