Getting ready for a special event~ 😉🕺

#In this case: New Year's Eve! ^o^🎉 #Who else wants to see Luigi and Toadsworth play matchmakers? 😏 #I feel like these two would get along really well honestly 🤭 #Often chatting about Mario and Peach... Subtly trying to move things along at the castle lol #Not to mock our lovebirds but- #they do need all the help they can get xD #I had imagined that Peach would once tell Luigi about her secret wish to attend a fancy party with Mario #And this wouldn't fall on deaf ears ;D 💕 #Cue Mario being dragged into a dressing room and wondering why he's having his measurements taken all of a sudden #Feeling very clueless about it all but confusedly following royal fashion protocol regardless 😂 #He doesn't know it's done with the sole purpose of him matching with the princess for the occasion #Although Toadsworth's statement assuredly gave him a clue; and one can only assume he blushed very noticeably at that! 😆 #Mario #Luigi #Toadsworth #Princess Peach #Mareach (implied) #Mario x Peach #romance #shenanigans #conspiring wingmen #party #Super Mario bros #fanart

Prompt 209

Now Jason was planning on, well, a lot of things, when he came back to Gotham. He had a lot of plans, several of which had to do with the old man and even more that had to do with cleaning up Crime Alley, making it safer and all that. 

What he was not planning on was to find some sort of lab in the basement of where he was planning on setting up a safehouse. Nor was he planning on finding several literal children in cages inside said lab. Oh and Lazarus Waters- but children! With muzzles! Being experimented on!

Now he’d like to say he had a plan in what happened next, but if he’s honest everything had gone Green and he didn’t remember what happened next, only that he’s back home with said children and covered in blood. Oh and everything smells of smoke. 

… And apparently there’s more of these things dotted around Crime Alley with the rest of these kids, er, siblings? Family? Fright does mean family? Okay kids, he’s not turning into Bruce but you can stay here while he deals with this… however long that takes. 

He better not be turning into Bruce he swears-

#DCxDP #DPxDC #Prompts #Liminal Class #Ghosts are Dragons #Halfa Jason Todd #Not that he knows that #The kids are sticking with him because he registers as Safe #And look they WERE teens but they’re not anymore and they’re TINY and in an UNKNOWN space with only like half their memories #They’re taking what they can get #Jason is very concerned the first time he witnesses them going partially dragon (even if they can’t do a full transformation yet) #He is freaking out way more when he Does fully transform in one of the later labs with no warning thx to one of the scientists shooting #something at him #Now the Bats are scrambling to find out about Hood because this no longer looks like crime lord bullshit #and more like a non-human entity whose offspring has been stolen and is attacking to get them back #Well from what can be seen from the Ecto spikes messing with tech #Jason has no clue how he ended up taking care of 13+ (why do you have so many shadow clones Kwan) children #Jason: Oh god my hoard is children I can never let anyone know #His Merry Men: Okay this is the safest person to leave our kids with and work for he would very much kill for any child #New Goon: Okay but are we gonna talk about the- #Merry Men: No we don't talk about the fact that he turns into a giant dragon and if anyone asks No He Doesn't

every time something from Neil Gaiman's tumblr crosses my dash I'm so concerned about the people writing and to him like. why have you outsourced your imagination to this man? asking shit like 'what does Morpheus sound like in this scene' or 'what does this dialogue mean' or 'what's the backstory to this moment' like BABES. THIS IS WHAT BARTHES WAS TALKING ABOUT. YOU'RE MEANT TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS YOURSELVES THAT'S WHAT MAKES ALL ART A COLLABORATIVE CREATION OF MEANING. if the author wanted something to be explicit in the text they can make it explicit in the text and if it's not explicit in the text YOU CAN MAKE IT UP.

what really gets me is I 100% prommy these kids regularly use 'death of the author' to mean 'i can enjoy works by problematic creators' which 1) yes I agree you can and should (using some discretion re who it profits and what's replicated in the work) but 2) THAT'S NOT WHAT IT MEANS LITERALLY WHAT IT MEANS IS. NEIL GAIMAN'S POST HOC OPINION ON SANDMAN OR GOOD OMENS IS A NO MORE LEGITIMATE FACT ABOUT THE TEXT THAN ANYONE ELSE'S INTERPRETATION. the text has left his control it belongs to the reader now, you get to decide and debate what it means.

#red said #i know i keep making posts like this but IT KEEPS HAPPENING #like you are not toddlers you do not need daddy to hold your hand and walk you through the story #if you're mature enough to meaningfully engage with a story for adults then you are mature enough to interpret it for yourself #and to understand that ambiguity or vagueness or an invitation to imagination are features of storytelling not bugs #hmmm actually I'm gonna tag this #neil gaiman #sandman #good omens #bc. some of you people need jesus or more relevantly literary and critical agency #like you understand that a story isn't a partial view into a reality that's as 3d as our own right? #the play doesn't carry on backstage #you're not MISSING OUT on a fundamental truth of the fictional world that's obscured by the shape of the story it ONLY exists in the story #you're SUPPOSED to construct the context and detail out of the clues you're given in the text and build your own world #and draw your own conclusions #it's not a Real World That Only Neil Gaiman Can See Into it's a STORY he wrote SPECIFICALLY TO INVITE YOU TO IMAGINE #like it's YOURS. YOU'RE meant to fill in the gaps. ART IS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE TEXT AND THE READER. #THAT'S what death of the author relates to #what part if any the author has in that other than what they put in the text

Just watched the newest Percy Jackson ep and I genuinely liked the way they did the Medusa part and how they’re handling Grover

#Grover my boy #grover underwood #grover #grover pjo #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo tv series #pjo disney+ #semispoilers starting here #like yes he’s fucking tired of these two arguing all the time! he gets to be pissed that they won’t get along! #the consensus song my beloved #I like that we get an actual reaction to his uncle ferdinand being dead cuz like yeah that shit would hurt #the fury (no clue how to spell her name) and medusa each giving annabeth and percy an offer and them denying it was actually a really good #addition in my opinion like it really solidifies their loyalty to not only the quest but to each other #they had the option to get what they truly wanted and they said no and I really liked that #medusa was so pretty and I love how she’s truly our first introduction to the bad side of the gods outside of how percy feels about his dad #also!!! the k on the sneakers!!!!!! luke!!!!!!!!!! #as funny as gabe saying the prophecy was I would’ve liked to hear the oracle say it #I had kinda built up the scene and hearing the raspy dead voice of the oracle say the prophecy would’ve have made an amazing scene #and using gabe for more of a comedic tone kinda dampened the scene for me #but it looked phenomenal and I really can’t wait to see how they do the prophecys in the second and third books #I wanna know who would appear for clarisse and the hunters #I think ares showing up for clarisse and artemis showing up for the hunters would be really interesting #so setting up the whole ‘a different person shows up for everyone’ should be cool #I just can’t get over how it was gabe #i would’ve liked to see that scene but it’s sally or poseidon saying the prophecy for extra impact #I’ll stop nitpicking now it was a really good episode #autism (mads) speaks

What this world needs is a famous healthy, holistic, natural minded blogger who is Normal.

Ya know. Doesn’t have endless money and isn’t trying to give “natural living” advice while disconnected from nature because Ew no germs.

#they always promote doing the most expensive shit #and they’re like ‘think of it as an investment in your health!’ #and it’s like homie I’m investing in my health by keeping heat in my home so I don’t freeze to death #i cannot afford both! #also I’ve noticed a strange phenomenon #with suburban/large town/city folk #trying to be ‘naturally minded’ #are only able to go so far with it #and then go off the rails cuz… they really DONT actually have any clue #how nature works or how our bodies work #or how they work relative to each other #so I just hear them promote some of the most bizarre things sometimes because of it

#males i stg #you have not even a clue of what it's like to live as a woman or a girl. #being a girl alone holds so much trauma #is it 'worse' than a gnc gay male's experience in a fundamentalist household? on average. yes?? #idk how to tell you this but you being a male gives automatically gives you an autonomy that girls are groomed out of #girls boundaries mean nothing. their aspirations mean nothing. their only goal is to be a mother and serve a man. #they don't have brains and they don't have will. #that is what's drilled into our heads from the moment of birth and that's not even in a fundamentalist household. #your abuse and oppression could be worse than the average gay male's in your situation OP #but to say that simply bc a girl is straight and gender conforming means that she has it easier than you is male audacity #this is what we mean when TiMs like yourself will N E V E R understand what it's like to be a girl or a woman #you are actively talking over the population you oppress.

I had a vivid dream that I flew to some random theater to watch the new episode premiere already, though in reality there aren't even showtimes listed yet on the theater websites. I was one of the first people seated in that classroom-style theater too.

Like, because it was a dream there were of course elements of the episode itself that made me go "what??? Why did Ufotable change it so much???" but also "weeee, new content, this is exciting!" but mostly it was me after the premiere being like, "So I know I just hopped on a plane somewhere to come watch this because of course I would, but I don’t actually know where I am. Hmm. Am I on Shikoku?"

Priorities.

Clearly I am excited to get a new anime episode soon.

#it was like a redo of the last one #instead of an upper moon meeting Douma informed Daki and Gyutaro that they were fired #they were tiny children but instead of Ume it was chibi-Daki and Gyutaro was an alternate version of Gyutaro #who never caught an STD when he was born so he looked totally different #but still recognizably Gyutaro just a healthier version #and then we cut to Tanjiro who was actually a modern boy with a big family who fantasized about being a demon slayer #which was a shock but it got me looking around all the background and photos of their house for clues #and I spotted a photo of Mt. Tengu (also in Shikoku) and was like #oh is that where Tanjiro will get his real life training from Urokodaki? #so now that I am awake I am also like #OH YEAH #Ufotable Cinema is also located in Shikoku #i need to visit Tokushima someday #Mt. Tengu was on the brain only because I saw a photo of it again yesterday on a website I was checking #and I was in that photo #still I kind like that idea of Douma informing the children they're getting let go from the Upper Moons xDDD #he was so Douma about it too #Douma is always in character in my dreams #even that time I convinced him to eat a lemon to prove our friendship #today a shit post

Question:

How did Sun-eater get to the sun?

he had to get to the sun to eat it, so how did he get there?

so in journey to the west, sun wukong flies to the end of the universe, essentially on a dare, and pisses on the five pillars of the universe and graffitis "wukong wuz here" before backflipping back to buddha to snark to his face

SunEater is partially based on Sun Wukong

so its less "how" and more "larger than life fairytale BS that we're just going to accept at this point because questioning it is just going to make more questions"

#this isn't meant to come across as snarky btw #this is me just trying to mimic the 'what is that monkey/lizard up to now' tired yet affectionate way jttw treats wukong #g muses #asks #suneater #'how did he eat the sun' #'i have no fucking clue but there's two new seasons we have to worry about now that our binary star system now only has one star'

I hope that girl gets out safe somehow… My god.

#the video that went viral of those Chinese men trafficking that young black girl #under the guise of ‘they’re in love and got married after only 20 days ^^!’ #my god leave our black women and girls alone #she looks to be about 18-19 and he’s like 36 and looks to be possibly disabled…? #idk I saw other ppl saying that tho #and she probably believes that she’s going to be taken off to a fancy place in China but the dude is living in shit #her parents sold her…. she’s so young #she doesn’t have a clue what’s in store for her and I feel terrible thinking about it #rambling #his ugly ass all of them #literally human trafficking/mail order Bride shit dressed up in fancy ribbons #as much as Africans have been exploited by China this is……. I hope she survives #she could be even younger than 18

Sometimes I wonder if there’s anyone who’s not particularly familiar with the Silm who reads Everlasting Song. I’ve gotten a fair few “I’m not familiar with asoiaf”, but has the inverse phenomenon happened? No one has told me if so (at least, no one who liked it XD)

Where are you, mysterious reader, should you exist?

#like I think it’d be harder to be a non silm fan reading this crossover #the setting is the setting is the setting but I try to be accessible (to an extent) #but our boys are the core povs and their struggles are very dependent on knowing where the left off in the silm and what they did #idk #this thought torments me tho #shout out to that one comment I got really early on that just said- #‘I wanted to see how this affected the war of five kings but I’ve got know clue what the hell these elves are talking about’ #rip to the lotr only fans you thought you knew but alas #Tribble post

ahhhh this is just rambling but im so excited to see what you’re gonna do with season 3 especially since if Matt “dies” at the end of defenders then jane will still know that he’s alive bc of the thread (I think??) and I’m so excited for the ANGST

I'm also excited to get into S3! And I think I can say a little of why in terms of themes. Like yes it's going to be Paaaaaaaaaaain with a capital P but it's also an exciting dynamic to explore - for the most part, when pulling away has happened in TRT, it's been Jane pulling away from Matt, with him reacting to her retreat. This'll be the opposite, so we'll get to see how she handles being on the other side. It's honestly super important for their relationship to deal with that, specifically because this is Matt's trauma response both when he's hurt and when his self-loathing/depression is at its worst - he isolates, he pushes away, he retreats in on himself, he tries to self-sabotage and hack away at bonds because he becomes convinced that the only way his friends/loved ones will be happy is if he's out of their lives, on top of his dark thoughts of, 'they can't abandon me if I abandon them first'. Understanding that, and learning how to work through it, is essential for Jane and for having a stable, long-term relationship with Matt, and it's something we've only dealt gently with up until now (think him assuming she's leaving after he went out for the night after Nobu). Fortunately, pushing away and isolation is something she gets, so she's uniquely qualified to navigate this, to understand exactly what he's doing, because let's face it, despite the fact that it hurts, Matt is really fucking obvious about it. He just generally seems to hope that what he does will push someone away before they notice the puddle of blood he's standing in as he bleeds out. But as we know by now - Jane would crawl over broken glass just to stitch Matt up. So Matt's, 'Imma push her away' might not go the way everyone's thinking, no matter how much he tries.

I can't tell anyone just yet whether Jane will know he's alive, since that's our big WILL SHE??? thing everyone's wondering and that I want everyone to wonder. It's a BIG secret that I'm playing close to the vest, and something I'm building to - a bunch of clues, going all the way back to pre-chapter 20 (won't say where though) have already been laid for what's going to happen, although they don't look like clues just yet, and the pattern will likely only stand out on re-reads. All I'll say is two things designed to make everyone very nervous because I like making ya'll freak out. A. It sure would be a very simple fix if Jane could just go find Matt after the collapse via thread. And B: Ciro, chapter 132: "But things are rarely so simple for you."

#the red thread #on daredevil season 3 #and there you have our relationship theme for S3 #and also the only two things i can say about the building collapse #i'm constantly cackling because the building collapse outcome is something you'll see clues for #ALL the way back #this one is my masterpiece #and i can't give ANY clues about what it is because even me *pointing* at the clue could give it away #just know that while there will be tons of angst we'll eventually get comfort too

saw a silly creature outside a few minutes ago and had to draw her

#bug art #wasp #stuff i made tag #no clue what kind of wasp this was tbh #can't find anything on bug id websites because every bug id site for our state sucks #did a funny display with her wings when she noticed us they just went straight up #only about the size of our thumbnail maybe a little longer. the green antennae really stood out against the red. anyone have any ideas

[scorpiontattoo]

a bunch of the others complaining abt our being too long and wanting to get it cut vs me wanting to do the funniest thing possible (get it cut as close to mine as I can get it)

#only downside is no fuckin clue what I'd do abt the hair dye situation #the others can't live without their red nut our mom would kill us if we dyed everything #and the little bit we have rn would look so weird #we hate our natural color anyways so like dying everything would be nice but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #its mom's money so its mom's rules (derogatory) #but like srsly im stsring so fucking hard at the scissors we have in our room for wigs. what if i just. fucked around a lil bit. #derek.txt

Fuck off and stop interacting with my blog you fuckin terf

gotta be one of the more confusing asks i’ve gotten for 2 reasons, the first being if you don’t want me to interact with you block me then lol, the second being calling me a terf which is literally laughable

#i think both my trans roomates (trans man and trans woman) #and all my friends who are trans women who love me and i love in return #and not to mention my COUSIN who is a trans woman who i love so much #woukd think this is very funny #im not gonna go and make a whole post explaining why i’m not a terf bc at the end of the day i know i’m not and the people in my life know i #im not and someone on the internet who’s never had a conversation with me yet thinks they know me isn’t gonna change that #anyway i love trans women and their presence in our community #trans women belong in the lesbian community and their presence makes it better #also? when have i ever posted or expressed having radical feminist ideologies #weird #if ur gonna accuse me of being a terf which i am not then at least know what terf means #also not a single clue what prompted this #also i feel like this was sent to the wrong blog LMAO bc i also haven’t interacted with many posts the past few days at least not on this #blog #so perhaps they’re just confused bc that’s really the only explanation at this point #AND ANOTHER THING #im sure there’s afab non-binary ppl that are terfs but to me that sounds literally idiotic being non-binary myself and trans exclusive
