#tales of work

[caterjunes]

and like. i've been unemployed for six fucking months now, and actively applying for jobs for four of them. and i just. cannot. make. any. headway. like occasionally i'll get an interview and it'll seem to go really well, and they'll ghost me. or it'll go well until they mention that the call center job Absolutely Has to be done in person, and is that okay? putting me in the position where i don't have an option not to disclose that i'm disabled & would need accommodation to work remotely. and they say they'll look into it and then ghost me. or i'll apply and the next day get a form email that i might want to review the qualifications more closely, or the position was just filled with a more qualified candidate, or or or.

and the majority of the time i can pretend i'm playing a little game with the unemployment office where all i have to do each turn (week) is apply for three jobs. i don't have to get the job, i don't even have to get an interview, i just need to apply for it, and i get a check by my name and a check in the mail. but i'm scraping the bottom of the barrel of jobs i know how to find easily.

and i had been planning to spend my non-working time painting the walls & doing handy projects & using my dedicated tool space. but i am so, so fatigued, all the time. that it often doesn't feel SAFE for me to use power tools. or i know that if i do, i'll spend the next day paying for it in a major way.

I got a take on the Danny is Damian's older brother au. He's Damian's brother but he's his adopted brother. So hear me out:

Danny is running away post TUE and he encounters some assassins. For whatever reason they get into a fight and he beats them. This ends up getting back to Ra's who is quite curious about who beat up his most prized assassins effortlessly. After some investigation, he extends an invite for Danny to train under him. On Danny's part, he jumps at the chance to disappear off the face of the earth and have a free place to stay.

Danny ends up being an absolute prodigy. This is him close to being Dan so his morals are much shakier. He doesn't leap at the opportunity to kill, but he's most definitely not above it if need be. Combine that with his ghost powers and personal training by Ra's himself and the guy becomes like the golden standard within the league. So much so to the point where Ra's even names him his heir and adopts him. Though Danny insists he is his adopted grandson and not adopted son.

Flashforward to Damian being born and Ra's obviously wants him to be his new heir. Not that Danny has any problem with this. He's very clearly Ra's favorite considering the things he's allowed to get away with. Like letting targets go, having worldly possessions in his room (TV, gaming console, computer, etc), and even befriending his subordinates (Ra's particularly doesn't like that one but knows Danny will never allow it to become a weakness for him). Even if Danny wasn't the heir, he would still maintain a significant level of authority within the league (again not that he cares about having power as long as there's a roof over his head).

The problem is, Damian can't compete with Danny. After all, who could match up to a highly trained half ghost with dubious morals? Let alone a kid. Too bad Ra's doesn't see it that way. He sees Damian as a failure who will never measure up to Danny. That's why he sends the boy off to live with his father. It's under the excuse that he'll be receiving a different sort of training but in reality, the Demon Head no longer wants anything to do with his biological grandson.

Obviously this turns into quite the complex for Damian. Meanwhile Danny absolutely adores Damian. From the moment he was introduced to the baby he was ecstatic. He'd always wanted to be an older brother. He would constantly be barging into Damian's room to hang out and whenever they'd sparred together, he'd try to let him win. Ra's quickly caught onto that one and put a stop to it immediately though. Basically Danny is Damian's League of Assassins version of Dick. An example of what he's supposed to be that he will always compare himself to (and that also has no idea what personal space is).

Danny loved his little brother so much that he even managed to get a mission to Gotham about a year after Damian had been sent there in order to surprise him with a belated birthday present.

The bats are absolutely shocked with an assassin suddenly charges at Damian and before anyone can react, scoops him into a hug. Damian is screeching bloody murder as he attempts to get Danny to let him go. Danny is just hugging him while saying stuff like "I missed you little brother" and "You've grown so much since I last saw you" all while avoiding knives to the chest.

The bats get shocked x2 because wait.... little brother!? Talia had another child!? And one far older than Damian to boot. Damian is quick to clarify that Danny is adopted while still trying to stab him. Imagine the boy's horror and Danny's delight when he gets invited back to the batcave to speak further.

#dp x dc #dc x dp #dpxdc #dcxdp #winter's tales #btw i don't think ra's knows that danny is a half ghost #just a troubled kid trying to run away from something #which works for him because that means there's no danger of danny leaving the league #or is there?

I'm also still laughing that he really showed up, introduced himself as an Archivist of the Cobalt Soul, and then insinuated that they were going to go extrajudicially hunt down, capture, and "interrogate" a Cerberus Assembly Archmage. Sir, archivists do not do that kind of thing, least of all on their own, LEAST OF ALL with a bunch of random hooligans they were just sent to collect for an unrelated excursion. Quite honestly, that was the thing I kept going back to in evidence of, there is absolutely no way this is a legit archivist.

#sir you kNOW how the cobalt soul works #why didn't you use 'expositor' #'trained sorcerer' THE COBALT SOUL IS NOT TRAINING SORCERERS #SORCERERS DON'T GET TRAINED #you lying idiot. you absolute dumbass. you beautiful fugitive who has miraculously stayed alive for seven years. #I love him SO much #but actually his bit about his mother being a barmaid was actually deeply charming and that was the one moment I had a sliver of doubt #the way he delivered that bit was great and I do joke but he is a very good liar when he really needs to be #he's charming! he's got high charisma! he's a delight! he can spin a tale! #also honestly very funny for me personally. for tiefling fic reasons. #cr spoilers #essek thelyss #critical role

Prompt 74

When a new black-haired blue-eyed person appeared in the manor, one could easily be forgiven for thinking that Bruce’s adoption problem had struck again. So color many a batkid surprised that no, this kid isn’t a new sibling, no he didn’t get grabbed from the street, and actually he’s here for Alfred. Apparently Alfred never found it important to mentioned that he has a husband- that the kid kind of implies isn’t human what with the casual way he says he himself is half human- and that this kid is apparently their child. For once it’s Bruce’s turn to come home to a surprise sibling. 

Danny on the other hand just learned that his Clockpa has a semi-mortal partner who has offered to take him in, (in another dimension even! And there’s aliens!!) while the ancient takes care of some stuff at home. And yeah it’s in a rich-manor but Sam has proved that not all rich people are evil, and based off of Mr Pennyworth’s stories the Waynes weren’t bad either. Though based off of the others’ reactions perhaps he should wait to mention that there wasn’t one new family member but three…

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #clockworth #Clockwork is taking care of the GIW #they crossed the line when they took his kids #fuck the observants telling him not interfere- he's going to channel some Kronos and eat some people #hey if they want a mindless and dangerous ghost they can deal with the one behind tales of a world serpent #Alfred is honestly pleased to hear from his partner and to meet their children #Reminds him of when he first met Clockwork and they took down a government branch #lovely times #would do the date again #Danny is in awe about food that doesn't fight back and tastes good #Alfred is also great! He teaches him proper gun safety and makes sure he gets a proper amount of sleep and its great #honestly he can't wait for Ellie to get to this world but she really wanted to finish exploring the mariana trench first #And Jordan is apparently helping Clockpa with something for the last bit of his probation #Jazz is just happy for him but sad she couldn't come #but she has college that she worked really hard for so he gets it #the batfam are so confused and concerned

Everytime I see videos or posts about indie animation, I'm a little more sad that people seem to completely gloss over 'Tales of Alethrion', despite them being at it for ten years now and having completely set the high standard for indie anim on Youtube back in the day.

Anyway if you care about indie animation, this is your sign to go watch the episodes now and spread the word about this forgotten masterpiece - especially since a new ep is apparently in the works...

Check out their blog as well: @talesofalethrion

Finally finished this Dragon Tale Cowl by HuntHandKnits! It’s my first real knit project and first time with actual color work besides really minimum color changes in amigurumi and stuff. Definitely had some mistakes but the dragon turned out and that’s all I care about! I’m in love 😍

Image description: two views of a dark red and silver knitted cowl with a repeating pattern of a large dragon and a bunch of swirls and stuff

i miss when movies were allowed to suck a little. low budget passion projects made by new, unpolished actors. effects that are obvious but done with care. sound and color and direction that were partly just the product of technological limitations, but partly given a greater measure of “this can be a little messy” than we have now. now the movies suck too but its stuff like, this is a remake of a remake and it’s also funded by the US military and all the sfx were done by cgi artists being ground into dust because they cant unionize

#guy who is watching an 80s b movie voice: god i wish movies still sounded like shit #also like. easier to get a job i imagine. when knowing anything was enough to make you know a lot #kora.txt #i literally want less polished movies that tale longer to make made by workers who are paid more and work short days and weeks and im not #kidding!!!!!!

tfw your partner expresses displeasure with 1 thing and you take it super personally for no reason and have a mood crash. and you are cognizant that this was probably rsd and express this to yr partner but yr mood is still low. and then you remember you were so caught up in things the last couple days you Just Forgot to apply for jobs in order to qualify for unemployment this week, and boy howdy does your mood crash then! you have like ten minutes of straight sobbing and intense suicidal ideation. and then dinner is ready and you're fine, actually. your mood is back to normal. but your eyes still hurt and your sinuses still hurt and you still won't be getting an unemployment check for this past week. just because you Forgot.

Have this Fairy Tale AU to reign in the new year!!

In this AU the prince(s) charming from all the classic stories falls in love with the woodsman rather than their Fairy tale loves after being saved from a band of marauders on their way to the castle one night

Meanwhile the woodsman (Y/N in this case) has decided to hunt down all the dark beasts in the shadows they can find to finally give the kingdom some peace, weather it be wolves or trolls or dragons, they want the people of the kingdom to feel safe. (Some more than others)

#I'm still kind of figuring out the story but I have a rough general idea #y/n got their red cloak from little red riding hood and her grandma as a thank you #for saving them from the wolf #even if things didn't work out how y/n expected #fnaf sb #fairy tale au #moondrop #sundrop #fnaf eclipse #my art #fnaf security breach #fnaf sun #fnaf moon #fanart #Prince sun #prince moon #prince eclipse #sun x reader #sun x y/n #moon x reader #moon x y/n #eclipse x reader #eclipse x y/n #woodsman y/n #monster hunter y/n #now with 3 y/n looks to choose from #and 3 different little companions #mini music man #fnaf bonbon #fnaf helpy

Right so what if Danny became a psychologist instead of Jazz?

His friends and family died protecting him. So when he runs away and starts a new life, he adopts traits from all of them (both as a way of grieving and a way to honor them). For Tucker and Sam, Danny splits his free time between being a white hat hacker and a vocal environmental activist. For his parents, he adopts more of their eccentric personality. When he's not in a professional setting, he is loud and in your face about the latest thing he's been working on (he's also just about the most loyal person you can meet).

And for Jazz, his precious big sister, Danny decides to excel in the career path she never got the chance to enter. He resolves to fulfill her goal of helping out those society has deemed irredeemable. The ones nobody else can or wants to help. The first one he starts with, is the Joker.
