prompt 02: tim’s birthday present

Tim sat in his empty house at the empty dining table. The table was actually quite large; it had enough seats to sit at least 15 people. But there was just Tim there. 

His parents had promised and sworn up and down that they would come back in time for his birthday. He had everything planned out. He picked out the birthday cake, put on the candles, decorated, ordered his parents' favorite foods, his parents' favorite movie for movie night, popcorn the likes. But that morning, just when Tim was double checking to make sure everything was ready for the most perfect birthday ever, his parents had called to tell him that something really important had come up, and they wouldn’t be able to make it. Tim figured it was better than last year, at least they called this time. 

Tim stared down at the cake, the candles lit. He had heard online that people would make wishes on their birthday cake and blow it out. Tim thought that was a weird thing to do, but it wouldn’t hurt to try. 

What should he wish for? It would have to be something special that he doesn’t already have. Tim thought for a long moment, the candles bleeding into the frosting of the cake. 

A brother. 

Tim closed his eyes and put his hands together like he’s seen the other children to do in the cartoons. And Tim wished for a big brother. When he finally wished hard enough (whatever that meant) he opened his eyes and blew out what was left of the candles. 

Tim waited. What exactly was he supposed to do now? In the cartoons, everyone would celebrate and cheer and the birthday boy would open his presents. There wasn’t anyone to cheer for Tim, or any presents for him to open. 

Suddenly the house shook, and the loud sound of a crash sound came from the backyard. Quickly, Tim did the sensible thing and go check out what the noise was. That's what the characters always did in horror movies. 

In Tim’s backyard, there was what looked like a weird space ship that had crashed into his backyard. There wasn’t any fire or anything, but the spaceship looked pretty wrecked. Getting closer, Tim could vaguely make out that someone was inside the spaceship. Looking around, he saw what looked like maybe the handle. Tim couldn’t really tell. 

When Tim put his hand on it and tried to open it, something poked out mechanically and pricked his finger. He flinched back instinctively, caressing his finger tip.

“Recognized: Danny Fenton. System Override.” A robotic lady spoke. Who is Danny Fenton? As if to answer him, the space ship opened its hatch, and inside was an unconscious black haired teenager. “System Malfunctioning. Please Assis-” The robotic voice spoke again, before getting cut off as if the power had died. 

Suddenly, Tim remembered his wish. A big brother. 

This was Danny Fenton, and he was supposed to be Tim’s big brother

----

When Danny woke up, he found himself in a very soft plush something. Something that definitely wasn’t the Spector Speeder. Alarmed, he sat up quickly to find that he didn’t recognize where he was at all. He also didn’t recognize the weird kid that was staging at him from two feet away. 

“Hi, I’m Tim. Timothy Drake.” The boy introduced himself almost business like. 

“Uh, hi Tim.” Danny responded awkwardly. “You got any idea where I am?” Danny sat up properly, moving the blanket (?) off of him and turned to face the weird and kinda creepy kid. 

“You’re in Drake Manor. Which is where I live.” He answered again. 

“Ok…ay” Danny nodded thoughtfully. “Any idea how I got here?” Truthfully, Danny hadn’t really been expecting an answer, but he still got one. 

“Because I made a birthday wish to have a big brother.” He answered in the same way he had answered the other question, very matter-of-factly. 

“Ok- Wait. What?” Danny asked, doing a double take at Tim. 

“You’re supposed to be my big brother, right?” Tim was starting to look a little hesitant, and as weirded out as Danny felt he couldn’t help but feel bad about the whole situation. 

“Where are your parents, Tim?” 

“There not home, because they had really important things to do for work.” 

Danny nodded. “Do you know when they’ll be back?” 

Tim shook his head. “They were supposed to come back today, because it’s my birthday. But they said they couldn’t make it.” 

Well, shit. Didn’t that sound awfully like Danny’s birthdays before he had given up on his parents showing up. At least he had Jazz. This kid looked like he was alone. 

Not liking the silence, Tim started fidgeting again. “So, are you gonna be my brother, then?” 

And what was Danny supposed to say, No? Besides, if he was really causing problems being in this random universe, then Clockwork would figure it out. 

Bonus: 

Danny sat at Tim’s dinner table, the kid looking at him radiating in excitement, each with a plate of stupid expensive pasta in front of them. “You said your name was Tim, right?” Danny started thoughtfully. Tim nodded, drinking up everything Danny said. “Well, first course of action as you, big brother. I need to give you a nickname.” 

Tim’s eyes sparkled at the prospect. “Like what?”

Danny tapped his chin exaggeratedly, “Hm… Tim, Tim.” Turing the name around while he absentmindedly twirled his fork between his fingers, Danny wondered what he should come up with. Suddenly, in a misplaced strength, Danny’s fork flew out of his hand. 

Before Danny could even say anything, “I’ll get you a new one!” Tim offered quickly. Getting up from his chair, his foot got tangled behind the leg of the chair and Tim fell quietly on the floor with an oof. 

Danny laughed at him. “You okay, Timbers?” He asked, getting up to check on the boy. 

“Yeah, I like Timbers.” Tim said, a bright smile on his face despite the blossoming bruise on his arm.

was doing some reading on medieval bestiaries and, hear me out

Stags in bestiaries are associated with Christ, since when running they are said to run to “Christ, the true spring”. They also trample upon their enemy, the snake, who represents the Devil.

with TOH’s subversion of how witches and hierophants are traditionally regarded, i just think it’s neat :)

#OH THEY BOTH ALSO HAVE THEMES OF SHEDDING WITH DIFFERENT CONNOTATIONS #the infirm stag sheds its antlers and is rejuvenated the cunning snake sheds its skin to further grow and scheme #which 👀 #oh also fun thing is a lot of medieval snakes have little cat like ears on em just like stringbean #i know it’s coincidence but i think it’s fun to analyse this kinda shit #the owl house #toh #luz noceda #emperor belos #phillip wittebane

Now what if Tôshirô had brown eyes and brown hair before he died in the human world?

#bleach #toshiro histugaya #hitsugaya toshiro #toushirou hitsugaya #hitsugaya toushirou #Kubo keeps dropping the weirdest lore about him #Did you know he was older than momo? Wtf wtf #And he had a bankai before joining the gotei? #Wtf kubo #Tosh is such a weird little guy #I might draw my headcanon about his past life one day #Happy Birthday Tôshirô!!! ✨🥳🎉❄️🦁 #Also fun (?) fact #Tôshirô's name is written with the kanjis 冬 (tou - winter) 獅 (shi - lion) #And 郎 (rou - super common kanji at the end of boys' names - basically means son or boy) #So he has a super cool name that means winter lion #Now when I was stuck studying kanjis #I found an homophone of winter lion (toushi) which is 凍死 #It's probably a coincidence but 凍死means death by hypothermia #So there's that

wondering if childe being designed with red hair was researched and has a deeper meaning bc theres a bunch of stuff that makes a weird amount of sense. for him to have red hair specifically.

red hair is basically a mutation (mc1r gene) and it affects a bunch of different stuff, not just hair color, but also vitamin production and pain receptors

redheads in particular produce their own vitamin D so historically people with that hair color moved more towards colder climates bc they could retain heat better and thus could withstand the cold more. bc of their vitamin D production they also had stronger bones than people who didnt have red hair so its theorized that in colder climates redheads were having more children than non-redheads bc the latter just had brittler bones and had a rough time in the cold (the video i watched abt it also made a joke abt how redheads would thrive "underground" more than in the sun and well. funny that). also apparently some redheads need 20% more anesthesia than non-redheads bc they can have a higher pain tolerance

so its interesting that childe, known redhead, lives in a cold climate (snezhnaya) has a lot of siblings, and survived the abyss (makes his own vitamin D, has Stronger Bones, possibly high pain tolerance) its kind of hilarious? are u telling me him having red hair is deep. i love that

#childe tartaglia #gi #i watched cari can read's video abt it specifically and its a fun watch. i didnt know most of these things ! #near the end she also says that redheads have white hair instead of grey hair when they grow older which is #another funny thing in relation to childe bc he has a little white strand in his hair #the video in general is very educational i just have to make it abt childe. sorry. as if its my fault #k.txt #anyway Lots of funny coincidences. if they are that. i genuinely wouldnt put it past hyv to have designed him with red hair on purpose #also so nobody takes this the wrong way. redheads arent Superhuman or anything and in genshin particularly no one should generalize them #theyre not All Like Childe he also has redhaired siblings who are normal n probably have as much of a chance in the abyss than nonredheads #(which is next to none) #so worry not. he is still a little freak of nature

Today was a good day :)

#Today three strangers were kind to me in three different occasions. It was such a nice coincidence :) #I've been working on Akutagawa's birthday the entire week and today Akutagawa posts were all over my dash. I'm so happy! #I managed to do all the edits I had set up to and I'm glad :) #I dressed rigorously black and white and wore the black striped pants I bought because they reminded me of Beast Akutagawa's outfit #I did my nails black and red!! #My mother called me to congratulate on Akutagawa's birthday #I even baked a cake with a friend and they were so sweet ///// #I'm so grateful they managed to make time for it even though they've been so busy and tired because of their job #More than everything I'm grateful they weren't weird about it #They found it a little silly but they never made fun of me. They helped me pick the cake. #And today they even told me that they looked up a video of the character to understand me better #Which TERRIFIES me because no way anyone could get a good impression of Akutagawa from a single video #But if we ignore that it was an unbelievably nice gesture :') #It's just such a foreign feeling because outside of my blog I NEVER talk about my hyperfixations irl. #Because when I used to when I was younger I was only met with scorn or mockery so ever since I started university I simply learnt not to? #And it's just so genuinely weird to talk with someone irl who wouldn't judge me for it– #and not really in the good way because part of me is still convinced that they *are* judging me for it. #Doesn't matter everything suggests the contrary. And I keep overthinking if I overshared about Akutagawa or if I said something dumb #But I'm trying it not to get to me. Today they've been nothing but nice through and through #Whatnot. The last months were very tough for some reason I'm just happy good things can still happen :) #I want to start the queue again now that I'm generally more free and done with Aktgw's birthday and everything. #I also have new exams the first days of April and the program is pretty heavy and wide.

ooh, guys. So I think I just noticed a fun coincidence 👀

- Who's Mr. Schwartz? (...)

- I don't know. It feels like there's maybe this sort of a... Some sort of production going on in the background the whole time through this record. There's like... Someone's like... Setting up some lights and carrying a ladder and I don't know... And it feels like he's a... He's got something to do with that.

[Alex & Zane Lowe's interview for Apple music]

#I do see it as a fun coincidence or maaaybe like a subconcious connection #(which I've seen being talked about many times by musicians. Even Alex - #how they write seemingly random lyrics & then sometime in the future see the connections to something in their lives. #that they didn't mean to make / hadn't noticed when writing) #either way I think it's a fun & interesting little connection there #there's definitely a production of sorts going on in the background of Miracle Aligner with all the set up lights #and a make-up station with a make-up artist waiting #and wardrobe passing by (anyone spot any velveteens suits? 👀) (the dsncing shoes they've def got on their feet) #and the ladder man #although I always previously saw this whole scene as some sort of afterlife-metaphor type of situatio. but that's for a different post 😌 #Mr. Schwartz #Miracle Aligner #TLSP #AM #my posts #theories #lyric parallels

#spy x family #sxf #yor forger #thorn princess #tumblr polls #okay in case you didn't know: Yor has references to sleeping beauty #first ref is her code name.

Also the rose being her signature flower shown both in her headwear her pin and her assassin clothing #The less obvious fact is her maiden surname #Briar is the name in Little Briar Rose.

what’s really embarrassing is my roommate on the phone with his mom saying “yeah i’ve been getting really sloppy i haven’t cleaned in a week it’s terrible” and my side of the room is just like that. all of the time. and i feel guilty but he also hasn’t ever said anything to my face he moved my stuff some at the beginning of the year but has never talked to me about it and i’m also so fucking ill that i just cant really handle adding that to my list while trying to also not fail school. so here i am being a terrible person i guess. did i tell you guys about turtle-person. have i showed my bracelets. i’m gonna go to sleep but in the morning i need to show my bracelets

#help i have work tomorrow. i also feel sick and strange. wish me luck #the sun was around today which was incredible but also i think it gave me too much mental energy #cause for the first time in forever i had the brightness of spirit to go for a walk. but that’s not the same as having the blood flow for it #so i think i overexerted myself cause of being finally happy and mentally energized i forgot about being physically disabled #i also had to explain POTS to somebody today and she was literally like ‘oh is that the thing where you need to have salt’ and NO like #i do have a really high salt intake to cope with POTS. but that’s not the fucking thing yknow?? like no that’s not what the thing i have is #it has nothing to do with salt. salt is a fun little coincidence that it can help with water retention which in turn helps with POTS #and it raises blood pressure is i think the other reason? but anyway idk i would honestly rather she just not know about it than have like #that very particular tiktok version of it like i am so glad for internet knowledge being spread and stuff and i mean. i guess even the posts #that i’m about to complain about are good for making people feel like they’re not alone. so maybe it’s fine. but i was going to complain of #the videos that are like ‘‘that one POTS friend’’ and it’s just like. salty food. instead of like. having to sit down?? BEING FATIGUED?? #and like whatever. whatEVER but i wish it wasn’t getting conflated with one particular little way of treating it. even though i use that way #i don’t have needs-a-lot-of-salt-disease. like that’s not the point. that’s not the issue. it’s not a salt deficiency. salt just helps #and it doesn’t FIX it. it just helps. that’s all #ANYWAY EVERYTHING IS FINE. i feel sick though. but i’m gonna sleep and i’ll be fine #i miss before i had a job cause then i could sleep all day if i skipped class and it would be really nice. but now i have a job i would be #missing on my responsibilities for. and I don’t actually have accommodations. but im gonna sleep i’ll be fine #and library book cart is actually so rollator. like as far as being able to walk the library situation is such a win #anyway i’m gonna go to sleep now. but yeah idk i’m sick and a mess what else is new. but i have something whatever i’m good theres something #unrequited love for life or something like that. ok im gonna go to bed sorry for being weird and strange all the time!!!! #me. my post. mine. #delete later

It’s not an issue yet, but it will be eventually... I have a horrible irrational fear of 3D generated water. It typically doesn’t bother me in video games because it’s all cleaned up and generally believable looking, but in modeling programs like Blender it’s always been this huge Ordeal and I don’t expect the Creation Kit to be any easier.

#rangercamp is up near the top of a mountain so theres not much water to worry about #this was unintentional but fortuitous #i also noticed earlier today that its hmmmmm super close to where the opening cutscene starts #you cant see it from the cutscene; takes too long for the black to fade away #of course immediately after noticing this i tested the cutscene to make sure it still works and it does no effect #my mod doesnt share any cells with it and obviously id have seen the markers if id started mucking about in those cells in particular #but hmmm idk if id have started it so close to there if id known initially #its fine tho they dont interfere with each other #also idk if this is like. good modding practice or w/e #but the patrols they do in the area around their camp lead them past a place where random encounters spawn #so they do occasionally get into fights #its fine tho theyre essential #in my defense i didnt tell them to walk all the way over there i just didnt understand how the ai prioritizes pathing #and then i decided to let them continue to do it that way because *checks notes* i dont know how to make them not do it that way #also i like it better but you know #anyway while i was testing for some reason instead of loading random encounters the game kept loading random unowned horses in that spot #which. like. okay. why not #and every time he passed one on a patrol candaith would stop and walk over to it and look at it for a minute #(later testing revealed this to be a coincidence due to the fact that the AI thinks theres a path there and has to pause and recalculate) #(but it was still a fun little detail)

okay i really ought to be going to bed, BUT. before i do i just wanted to share what miss gioier is starting to look like :]

the skintone and ghoulish eyes truly make her.. a few moments ago, I switched her back to normal skin and eyes and she lost 47% of her swag 😩

#sharing her most basic outfits w y'all because her performance looks are... Rough 💗 it's hard for me to make create cohesive outfits w #interesting makeup 😭🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ so you guys just get her civvies for now :] #she's supposed to have a superman/clark kent kinda thing going on where she looks Larger Than Life when she's performing‚ but once she's #off the clock she is truly indistinguishable from any other person. The most Just Some Guy to ever guy 🤪 #a fun coincidence is that I didn't go into making her outfits with the idea they would look Like That. but that little sweater+ those cargo #pants enchanted me so much that I had to use them hehe 🤭 plus! the pants at least reminded me of Kat and so that outfit was kinda built #off the idea that those pants Are Actually Kat's 😆 it's a dove cameron boyfriend type of situation you know 🤪 #her first look is kinda preppy which is funny to me. if you spend too many years in the vicinity of Vergil Moneybags McGee‚ eventually your #fashion 🆘🆘 i have to make her a Grungier Outfit to reflect dante's influence haha #i attempted to replicate the outfit that spawned reboot gioia so many months ago but 😬😬😬 it did not turn out well lol!!!! #sriracha.txt #💃🏻 #*fashion will change to reflect that 🆘🆘

[demilypyro]

So I've seen a few too many people on twitter talking about The Kiss Scene from the new Scott Pilgrim anime. People saying it's fetishistic and indulgent, people calling it male gazey, etc. And while the kiss itself is certainly a bit exaggerated, I felt like writing a bit about why I disagree, and why context is important, like it always is. But it basically turned into an extended analysis on the metatextual treatment of Roxie Richter. So bear with me. It's a long post.

What really matters about this scene is not the kiss itself, but what precedes it. Not even just the fight scene just before it, but what precedes the whole anime series, really. And that's the Scott Pilgrim comic book, and the live action movie. Because in both, Roxie is a punchline.

She's a joke. Her character starts and ends with "one of the exes is actually a girl, I bet you didn't expect that." Jokes are made about Ramona's latent bisexuality, the movie especially treating it as funny and absurd, and her validity as a romantic interest is entirely written off by Ramona as being "just a phase." There's a fight scene, she's defeated by a man giving her an orgasm which implicitly calls her sexuality into question (come on), and the movie just moves on. It sucks. It really, really sucks.

The comic fares a little better. It never veers into outright homophobia like the movie does, and while the line about Ramona having gone through a phase remains, Roxie actually gets one over on Scott when Ramona briefly gets back with Roxie. But Roxie is still only barely a character. Like all the other evil exes, she's just a stepping stone towards the male protagonist's development. She barely even gets any screentime before she's defeated by Scott's "power of love." But Roxie stands out, since she's the only villain who is queer, or at least had been confirmed queer at that point (hi Todd). In a series that champions multiple gay men in the supporting cast, the single undeniable lesbian in the story is a villain. She's labeled as evil, made fun of, pushed aside in favor of the men, and then discarded. Her screentime was never about her, or her feelings for Ramona. It was about the straight, male protagonist needing to overcome her. And that was Roxie Richter. An unfortunate victim of the 2010s.

Fast forward to current year, and the new anime series is announced. Everybody sits down to watch the new series expecting another retelling of the same story, and.... hang on, that straight male protagonist I mentioned just died in the first episode. And now it's humanizing the villains from the original story. And there's Roxie, introduced alongside the other evil exes in the second episode, and she's being played entirely straight, without a punchline in sight. No jokes are made about her gender, no questions are made of her validity as one of Ramona's romantic interests. The narrative considers her important. In one episode, she already gets more respect than she did in either of the previous iterations of Scott Pilgrim. And this isn't even her focus episode yet... which happens to be the very next one.

The anime series goes to great lengths to flesh out the original story's villains and to have Ramona reconcile with them. And I don't think it's a coincidence that Roxie gets to go first. While Matthew Patel gets his development in episode 2, Roxie is the first to directly confront Ramona, now our main protagonist. This is notable too because it's the only time the exes are encountered out of order. Roxie is supposed to be number 4, but she's first in line, and later on you realize that she's the only one who's out of sequence. She's the one who sets the precedent for the villains being redeemed. She's the most important character for Ramona to reconcile with.

What follows is probably the most extensive, elaborate 1 on 1 fight scene in the whole show. Roxie fights like a wounded animal, her motions are desperate and pained. Ramona can only barely fight back against her onslaught. Different set-pieces fly by at breakneck speed as Roxie relentlessly lays her feelings at Ramona's feet through her attacks and her distraught shouts. And unlike the comic or the movie, Ramona acknowledges them, and sincerely apologizes. And the two end up just laying there, exhausted, reminiscing about when they were together.

Only after this, after all of this, does the kiss scene happen. Roxie has been vindicated, she has reconciled with the person who hurt her, the narrative has deemed that her anger is justified and has redeemed her character. And she gets her victory lap by making the nearest other hot girl question her heterosexuality, sharing a sloppy kiss with her as the music triumphantly crescendos.

It's... a little self-congratulatory, honestly. But it's good. It's redemption for a character who had been mistreated for over a decade. And she punctuates the moment by being very, very gay where everyone can see it, no men anywhere in sight. Because this is her moment. And then she leaves the plot, on her own accord this time, while humming the hampster dance. What a legend. How could anything be wrong with this.

my birthday’s comin up in less then a week here, which is making me reflect on the nature of luck a little bit. am i lucky? in a lotta ways i could say i am.

i have steady income that gives me spending money i never thought i’d ever have, despite it coming from a job i don’t like very much. i’m relatively healthy, despite some chronic pain issues. i got a creative brain, despite having a mental illness that makes it very difficult to commit. i’ve made it this far along in life, despite a lot of close calls i wouldn’t recognize except in hindsight.

i guess i could say i have a simple, unobtrusive kind of luck.

#also fun fact i was born on 4/14 at 5:35 which is kind of a fun little coincidence there #rhobi: the sitcom
