POV: You are on a coffee date with Dave

Eridan cleared his throat.

"Hella Jeff?"

"Uhuh," Dave glanced up, then back down at his phone. "Sweet Bro, too. Here." He turned his phone around and held it out to Eridan.

On Dave's phone was a an extremely grotesque and crudely drawn comic, in which two characters, which Eridan could only assume was "Sweet Bro" and "Hella Jeff" engaged in the Charlie Brown football gag, complete with the entire Peanuts strip hyper-compressed in the middle of it, terminating with the red-clad man being minced by helicopter blades. Eridan nodded slowly, parsing it.

"I get it." Eridan said, after taking another moment to think.

"You do?" Dave asked, sounding genuinely surprised.

---

"What are they talking about, now?" Kanaya whispered to Vriska, watching from across the coffeeshop.

Kanaya and Vriska spying on an EriDave date? Curious? Check out our monsterstuck fic!

Homestuck is trending? Better post some of John’s sick bars from my no sburb monsterstuck au:

John was up again.

"Yeah, so.

Your shirt's too loose and your pants are too tight;

You made a bad move, to come here to-night. "

The human smiled a bit to himself- nodding as he readied another bar.

"Your outfit is fine!" Aradia yelled to Tavros from the crowd.

John cleared his throat.

" I study with a master, like Kong in Bangkok Dangerous;

MC Dave and me, even ghosts are fearin' us;

I'm winning this battle, there's no point in denying;

You might have the wings, but I'm the one who's flying!"

"Damn." Sollux said quietly to himself. This John kid was kind of a natural. Just what had Dave taught him in those 20 minutes?

The crowd seemed to agree, cheering and jeering.

"Get him, cutie!" Feferi shouted, whooping.

John looked like he was having the time of his life- even though his whole face was flushed and his steps back and forth across the floor looked more like an anxious deer than a confrontational rapper.

Can Tavros defend his outfit and his honor? Find out by reading my fic! The Good, The Bad, and The Alternative.

Please check my fic out, id really appreciate it! John by my coauthor @gollyg

Dave wondered if he would spend the rest of his life afraid.

I mean, it makes sense. Animals wanna live, why wouldn't you be afraid of shit that could kill you. He thought. Guess the human brain didn't catch up to everything that came after higher level thinking, though, now I'm afraid of shit like flopping on soundcloud, the vastness of the universe, and also microwaves.

He wondered if any pedestrians would take the sick Stiller shades off his corpse.

It was a good run. He thought. I came, I swagged, I died handsome.

The air rushing past him as he fell from the roof of his umpteenth story apartment building was indifferent to this cool guy's mortal musings.

Some onlookers at the street level gasped and pointed in horror as they saw his small form plummeting.

...

Falling to his death was taking forever. I guess what everyone said about your life flashing before your eyes was sorta true. Nobody says what happens when you're young and the death is taking a proportionally long time. Turns out you can basically chill after all the other stuff is over.

Dave turned over in the air and saw the ground. Oh, now it was approaching much too quickly. He let out an undignified shriek and started flailing.

He heard a nasally masculine voice over the wind suddenly.

"Oh of course now you decide to start flailing."

Dave felt something sharp close around either of his biceps and grip tightly.

"God?" Dave asked.

"Close enough." The voice responded. Dave decided he didn't like God's tone very much.

you dropped your crown king

[This comic is part of my dbhc au, following the chaos and panic that ensues after Doc and Xisuma try to get Etho back online at the start of s9 after a very rough s8 finale that leaves him a little. broken. It's set to the vibes of Joywave's Destruction!]

ANOTHER SKETCH DUMP! Featuring more of me playing with lineless art. Batman reborn era trio (dick, damian and steph) I miss you...when will you return from war. Also featuring Steph designs bc I've seen ppl dissatisfied w/ her current look, some good mom Talia, and Jason Todd poetry club. Duke is confused not that Jason would start a poetry club but that he'd have such mid poetry opinions. (ID in Alt)

#dc comics #batfamily #damian wayne #stephanie brown #dick grayson #talia al ghul #duke thomas #cassandra cain #mine #woo new art tag. please god let me keep this up all year #uhh anyway yeah! still a big backlog of sketches but i got burnt out which means i had time to collect some #i feel like my art looks. extremely different w/o lines compared to with? idk i worry that's it weird/off-putting #but hey at the end of the day I'm hardly worrying about my brand integrity on tumblr dot com #duke and cass being at poetry club is based on them canonically being into poetry and for a good while duke and jason got along well #Steph is there for both jason and cass' emotional support (unfortunately there's a design flaw. she can't do both simultaneously)#(which is fine bc cass is fleeing the scene at the idea of having to casually hang out with jason)#(they're the exact amount of similar and more importantly different that it's like putting two firecrackers together. bad)#i really like the steph mask designs... it'd be fun to do something with them but idk what y'know?#I'm just like. if we're assuming that her mask has to be different from both babs and cass then this is what I've got as alternatives #i mostly wanted to practice character interaction with the talia and damian one... and also i love them #looking at james gunns batman movie proposal. you keep your hands OFF HER MR GUNN #please if shes evil in a movie they're never gonna let her be good in the comics again 😭#dc when you inevitably cave and do your next big reboot let the ppl finally have the son of the demon origin (w/ tweaks of course)#idk it's canon in my heart. heartcanon if you will <3 #anyway yeah uhhhhhh enjoy?

For those who are confused why writers and actors are striking, imagine you’re an actor trying to make ends meet and your boss walks up one day and snaps a photo of your face and then says that they now own your face.

They’re gonna use your face to make themselves money for the rest of time and they’re only gonna pay you once for it.

And then theres what they’re doing to the writers. Do you want formulaic, unoriginal, safe, non challenging media thats boring and only exists to sell as many tickets as possible? Ai writing is how you get media thats formulaic, unoriginal, safe, non challenging and boring shit that only exists to make as much money as possible.

These people have decided that making a good movie that you will remember takes second priority to mass producing a metric fuck ton of soulless unimaginative garbage because mass printing garbage makes them more money.

These rich buffoons who wouldn’t know a good story if it hit them upside the head with a diamond-encrusted 2x4 are trying to AUTOMATE FUCKING WRITING AND ACTING, and pay anyone who they keep around nothing but pennies in comparison to their own profits.

So don’t throw a fit if your favorite shows or movies get cancelled or delayed because of this. The people at fault are not the writers and actors but the people who make all their money off the writers and actors and are hoarding said money and trying to replace said actors and writers with cheap knockoffs.

#writers strike #actors strike #you can tolerate missing out on some good movies now if the alternative is bad movies forever #sag strike #wga strike #these rich bastards literally said they would wait until the strikers lose all their money and become homeless

i think the barbie movie would have a profound psychological impact on hua cheng

prev comic / next comic / follow for still more hualian barbie movie content because i am not done

bonus angsty version 🎉 i hate love expressions just a couple tiny lines on the mouth and eyebrows and it goes from silly to sad

:(

#this is a haha hua cheng devoted joke but idk it’s nice to think about how much of his identity and self worth is placed on xie lian #obviously since he was 10 most of his major life choices were to serve the crown prince #but in the interval time he became one of the most dangerous men in the world and decided it was his responsibility to create a ghost haven #he works on artistic mastery and alternatively brokers deals with and evades assassination attempts by heaven #if asked i think he would say he only does good for dianxia’s sake (What Would Dianxia Do) and is actually a bad person #and similar stuff about his combat and art skills #theres a question here about how much of his success is due to being such a determined person and how much #of it is luck from ‘the savior’ reversing the star of solitude #how much hua cheng is left when you take away xie lian?#he would say nothing #xie lian would say a billionaire genius playboy philantrophist etc #tgcf looooooves to talk about destiny and free will and so do i #all this to say if it was in character for hua cheng to cry at a movie hed be sobbing #this can be read as pre or post confession btw #the poll decided which version of the comic was the ‘main version’ above the cut #tgcf #art #comic #hualian #hua cheng #xie lian #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #hob #mxtx #my art #barbie #barbie movie #tgcf meme #lmao

I need a fic where Arthur knows magic isn’t inherently evil but doesn’t know about Merlin’s magic.

So he sees his new manservant being terrified of anything magical and tries to convince Merlin that magic can be good.

Meanwhile, Merlin thinks that Arthur knows about him so he’s trying to subtly convince Arthur that he should stop bringing it up.

Morgana just cackling in the background.

And it goes on until Ealdor when Arthur is like: “why the hell are you so anti magic if you have it?!”

And Merlin is so confused: “you didn’t know? But you kept trying to reassure me that you weren’t afraid of me.”

And Hunnith is watching all this unfold like: “ah yes, soulmates. Two sides of the same coin but if the coin is anything like their brain cells, it isn’t worth much.”

The Good, The Bad, and The Alternative

Three years ago, on John Egbert's birthday, the world ended. Three years ago, Jade Harley and Vriska Serket vanished alongside billions of others. Three years ago, the apocalypse arrived, transforming everything and revealing much that was hidden to those who remained.

Three years ago, the meteors (mostly!) missed Houston, and that's where John's headed today. In Houston, Rose Lalonde searches for washed-up traces of magic, warily overseen by Kanaya and her old friend Dave. In Texas, the newly dubbed "alternatives" maintain a newfound alliance with the humans they saved--and a wary truce with the Hunter forces that once kept all these creatures of fable and fairytale a secret from the world of man.

And here, in Houston, the world is about to change once again.

The Good, The Bad, & The Alternative: a Homestuck monsterstuck fanfiction. Chapter 28, an excerpt:

"Begin!" Sollux barked, setting the lights aflicker, blinking alternatingly in time with the beat.

John and Tavros looked at each other across the floor- both of them blatantly, obviously, totally terrified.

"The filler!" Dave whisper-shouted from the sidelines. John looked back at his mentor, then back at Tavros, then started nodding his head arythmically.

"Yeah. Uh. Uhuh." John said, apparently doing his best to get with the beat and make the first move. Offense is the best defense, Sollux supposed. Tavros looked like he was still trying to figure out how the mic worked. John would have an advantage from at least existing in a world where rap music was present.

With a sweaty gulp, John brought the mic up to his mouth.

"Yeah. Get this. Uh.

I just rolled into town;

I'm gonna t-take you down;

Uh- Um."

John glanced from Tavros to the crowd- his eyes lighting up seeing Gamzee and he quickly tried to recover.

"Words straight to the wise;

Your teacher is a clown."

He pointed out Gamzee as he finished.

The audience started laughing their asses off, but Eridan at least seemed to understand the objective- oooooh- ing loudly over everyone's cracking. Dave nodded ever so slightly. Gamzee made a face of disapproval- and made a chopping motion at his neck.

Want to see who wins this rap battle? Read our fanfic!

(O.O ) The PONDERING is back!

You know Walker?

One of the Zone's literal ACAB? We are shown in one episode, that real world items? Against The Rules(tm).

Now, that COULD just be HIM being An Asshole? But let's be real! Unlikely. Rules/Laws get made for a REASON, generally. Usually because someone ruined it for everyone by being an asshole. Taking things too far.

You start OUT with the obvious Rules. Like "Don't Tear the Zone Apart." And "No Genocide of Literally Everything Forever You Fighty Little Assholes" but over time? You have too add stuff. Like "George is Forbidden to use the fax machine and he knows why" and "Ice Lairs and Fire Lairs have to be X distance apart AND YOU KNOW WHY"

And? IS there a central Governing body, regulating the Zone Rules? Nope! Pariah's in nappy time! BUT the manic, Iron fisted, Obsessions of THE LAW across time and space are sure willing to step up and help keep order. It... KINDA works!

And they MOSTLY have the same-ish Rules!

Like NO FUCKIN LIVING WORLD STUFF. Because? To GET such contraband? You'd have to break containment of the Zone, go THROUGH a random ass natural portal, that may or may NOT be safe, may or may NOT ever RECONNECT to the Zone, to literally terrorize the unsuspecting living souls (assuming you can FIND any), on the other side, JUST to drag that shitty candy bar back home.

Leaking ectoplasm the whole time. Poisoning the air, land, and sea. Making NEW ghosts where there might not have been any. Effectively making you their deadbeat parent. Which is premeditated child abandonment. And you DEFINITELY didn't PAY for those objects. Thief.

So, NO. No Living World Shit.

BUT!

Like city states! The Area of influence each Law Man(tm) has? While wide and sprawling? Does NOT perfectly mesh together like puzzle pieces! There ARE dead zones. Lawless, "unclaimed" areas.

Which? Are not so unclaimed.

For just as The Law has it's Obsession? So too, has the Underworld. Shaddy casinos and auctions. Black markets run like street fairs. What some Ghost Weed? They can hook you up, man. Vinnie over there was a Runner during Prohibition. He knows where ALL the classy joints are.

He can hook you up with some REAL nice Living World collectibles.

From All Over.

And? I bet it's that LAST bit? That REALLY sparks Danny's interest. He saved the guy from the GIW, who may or may not have busted him trying to... uuuuh... LIBERATE, some fine scotch for the bar back Zone side. Who's to say, really? Regardless, Vinnie? Pays his debts, you here.

Beside... the feral little gremlin kinda scares him. Good quality to have, no question, but maybe cool it with the biting? You don't know where they BEEN. You'll get a disease.

Now... all you gotta do, see, is... *mutters* *map scribbling* *bad idea enabling*

Which? Constantine! League Members of your choosing! Like a field trip from hell! Some how in the SINGLE shadiest den of Obvious Criminals you ever did see. The sky is green and they aren't in their dimension anymore. Circle up! NOW. Young Justice shoved to the INSIDE of the circle, adult heros on the outside.

Constantine? Knows where they are and wishs he didn't. He... he's not sure he CAN get them back. Going to try obviously. But no one panic. Don't show fear. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING. Start walking.

Danny? Loading up the speeder~ Christmas gifts for daaaays~~☆ Everyone is Salty but respectful, cause anti-ghost tech meant they couldn't steal it. They did TRY. But... fair play, kid. Nice ride.

Only? Right before he gets in to leave? Some vibrating blur shoots over? Talking fast and followed by an older blur? Oh hey, humans. Like... ALIVE humans. Sup?

@the-witchhunter @hdgnj @nerdpoe @hypewinter @mutable-manifestation

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dc x dp #dc x dp prompt #danny phantom #justice league's very bad no good just awful road trip #danny does some Crime Shopping #at the Crime store #he got alternate dimension boy band stuff for Jazz #his mom's getting this cool lazer sword #dcxdp #minji's ponderings

Does this count as kidnapping???

A clockwork apprentice Danny that has to fake Jason’s death because he accidentally meddled in the event leading up to it and now he has to act fast because he literally can hear Batman’s running steps catching up to him so in spectacular fashion Danny panics, goes “shit shit shit” and puts Jason in the ghost version of a coma but like expert level pumps him up with so much ectoplasm the kid legit dies for a hot minute there.

…It makes Batman think his kid really is dead like he is supposed to so not all is bad, the timeline is back on track.

It’s just that now Danny can’t leave Jason to be be buried in the ground like he was meant to be originally, instead he waits until no one is looking to snatch the kid up and take him with him to the infinite realms.

Jason is legit convinced he was kidnapped.

Jason: who are you and why did you kidnap me???

Danny: what— kid I didn’t kidnapped you, I saved you

Jason: likely story

Danny: really kid I’m not kidding this is not a kidnapping

Jason: well then can I go home

Danny:

Danny: no

Jason: fucking figures

…

Danny: in my defense when I found you you were already kidnapped

Jason: so? kidnapping me from my kidnappers doesn’t make u better

Danny:

Danny: well it makes me the better kidnapper

#danny fenton #danny phantom #dp x dc #dp x dc prompt #jason todd #robin jason todd #batman #a death in the family #kidnapping is only good when the the person you are kidnapping someone from is the Joker #and i stand by it #but in this maybe jason has a bit of amnesia and doesn’t remember he was with the joker #just that he feels like a giant bruise and now he is in an a sorta alternate dimension #which he doesn’t know how to escape yet but god he will keep trying #his dad must be worried sick #!!#anyways not like they’re treating him bad here #no #no bad Jason don’t let yourself get Stockholm syndrome-d #meanwhile danny: trying to figure out how is he suppose to keep the timeline going like it’s suppose to #Jason is suppose to be brought from the dead in six months!!#this is really just long thought of shit shit shit from Danny #he really dropped the ball here #anyways that he doesn’t regret sucker punching that clown in the face #but all is good #all is perfect #my boy’s got time to figure out what to do with the timeline #in the mean time this boys in my head will be bonding #JSJ poor b though #he’s not having a good time
