#How To Find A Roommate

[methoughtsphantom]

Jason “my family doesn’t know im alive” Todd and Danny “my family doesn’t know I’m dead” Fenton going alongside each of their plans my beloved. like Danny will absolutely go head-to-head with all of Gotham to support his new best friend on all his crime lord endeavors while he drags Jason to also attend collage with him. They are roommates and there never seems to a mention of family from either side. It’s an unspoken understanding they have. They met because Crime alley as a ghost lair thrummed with so much loneliness, it was at first the perfect place for Danny to hide his ecto signature in. But then he saw the dumbass whose lair it was lean his motorcycle just a tad too much when making a sharp turn to an alley, he sweeped the floor through a lifted chain link that passed his body but not his helmet. Yep that’s right the red thing got stuck. Danny who at the moment happened to be watching through his window snorted. Much to his horror because if not a ghost that dude could’ve gotten his head flung off.

Still, the scene was ridiculous.

On a whim he irrationally sees the police closing in on the guy and panicked at the thought of the guy using intangibility to free himself so Danny phased them both through his apartment wall and left the guy sprawled in his couch. Jason didn’t freak out but that’s normal when one’s got a concussion, one the guy immediately denied having as Danny laid out the medical supplies. The idiot proceeded to almost flatten four steps to the door with his stubbornness. He also said “I’m asexual” in the most deadpan voice as Danny dropped him back in the couch.

Danny sighed. Clearly though, he’d done so too early in the night because the guy kept trying to go, kept trying to knock Danny out, kept trying to slash him with knifes Danny didn’t know he had stashed. He’d only disarmed the guy from his guns. The visible ones apparently, cause at one point the guy did take out a gun and shoot until the ammo ran out and then teetered the thing like it was an art prop and hit his moon lamp.

Danny "yeah you aren’t officially my friend until you’ve tried to kill me" fenton my guys.

Anyways both keep having the same argument over if Danny technically kidnapped Jason or not. Danny holds the fact that the police at least didn’t see the guy make the ridicule. Jason argued that happened cause he was sporting a concussion. Danny argued he got that after.

Jason at first thinks the guy's a meta, but no. Danny introduces himself, sheepily now that he recognizes this is who the lair he invaded is from. He bandages him and tries to cook for him. If Danny didn’t have ice powers he most certainly would’ve burned the apartment. Jason then proceeds to kick him out of his own kitchen and make them both enchiladas. It’s the most normal both had in a while with another person and the air seems oddly settled. From then on, Jason constantly invited himself over, under the pretense that this was his territory and therefore he could drop in unannounced. Danny who has actual powers says he only allows this because Jason cooks very well.

Danny stays away from the crime fighting business unless his buddy is in deep shit he can’t get himself out. Also it’s Danny’s turn to cover for his vigilante friend which Sam and Tucker give him so much shit for. (but also advice)

And they were roommates. (omg) Danny effectively derails Jason’s big comeback plans by casually dropping ghost lore every two days. Like,

Jason, talking about how he doesn’t want Bats snooping on his territory:

Danny: Just don’t let them in

Jason: ??

Danny: yeah!! Hasn’t Batman died and got revived??? You can totally kick out death touched people you don’t want entering on your lair.

Jason: …I can?

Danny: Yep dude, your lair’s supposed to feel safe.

Jason: wait does that mean I can kick you out?

Danny: First this is my apartment. Second, im dead, not dead touched. Third, it’s too late to get rid of me. bitch.

Anyways Jason is super excited. You mean to tell him he can actually deny people over to his territory haunt?? (Yes it’s only to people who have died and came back but still!! The sample size is exactly the type of people he doesn’t want to see—!)

Joker my beloathed can’t step foot in Crime Alley.

(Jason’d feel a lot safer if the clown was dead but the possibility of his murderer turning into a ghost and their little loophole not applying on the clown is too scary to contemplate.)

Anyways, Jason loves experimenting with the power. It can go from simply making people shudder and not want to enter crime Alley to straight up not letting them enter like there’s an invisible wall blocking the way.

Jason because he’s hurt that Bruce never even patrols Crime Alley and also because he’s petty put B under the category of “invisible wall” blacklist. His reasoning is that the man doesn’t even attempt to enter Crime Alley. To him it’s surely just a place shadowed in tragedy. (anyways that’s it’s the place he met Jason)

Ironically, Jason totally forgets that Batman does venture into Crime Alley one day in the whole year. The day he met Jason.

Okay. He didn’t forget at first. The first year Jason remembers cause it was only a few months till then but then the next— Jason forgets that today’s the anniversary of the day’s Bruce’s parents died. He forgets to allow B in when he feels a slight tug and dismiss the feeling that prompts Bruce to investigate because he literally can’t enter Crime Alley. He starts the trialsTM, he scouts on the very edge and sees people the whole day enter and get out and cross with no problem but Bruce can’t.

It’s literally just Bruce.

Time to call Constantine, i guess.

im like the lorax when it comes to women's body hair. we should let it grow.

Every now and then I still think about that post from a trans woman talking about her experience with periods on E, bringing up that she has the same symptoms at least once a week every month and how they always happen to line up with her cis(?) roommates, and how pretty much every reply to that post was tripping over themselves to "correct" her on how period syncing is a myth actually! it's not real! that isn't proof you experience this thing!

And it's like, technically yes they're right there's very inconsistent data to support period syncing as a real tangible thing. But I found this post a couple days after a doctor's appointment with my wife wherein I had informed him that I got my period twice one week apart that month, meanwhile my wife had missed her's for two months already by that point, and what was the answer he had for us? "When two people who can have periods live in close proximity, it's normal for cycles to sync in weird ways." <- paraphrasing heavily it's been months but he's the best doctor I've ever had so I'm not about to call him a fucking quack. My point here is that whether or not period syncing is real, it's still something people in the medical field operate on and tell their patients. It feels weird as hell to be practically drooling with anticipation to tell a woman she's wrong when this is something cis women and trans men have talked and joked about for decades without getting pedantic replies about the legitimacy of the phenomenon existing blowing up their phone.

So basically my overall point is I don't think y'all were rushing to correct her to "stop the spread of misinformation," I think y'all just wanted to jump at the excuse to downplay a trans woman's experience and insinuate she's delusional.

cant stop thinking about pro-exy player andrew before he ends up on the same team as neil having a multi-million dollar salary but living alone for the first time in his life. with neil in college for another year and aaron in med school and nicky in germany he has no other choice but to live entirely for himself

i think part of my problem is i lived with my best friend for two years of my life and have been searching for the same feeling of joy & acceptance & support ever since

Nevermore Mini Bang art!!!!!

’Twas noontide of summer,

And mid-time of night;

And stars, in their orbits,

Shone pale, thro’ the light

Of the brighter, cold moon,

’Mid planets her slaves,

Herself in the Heavens,

Her beam on the waves.

I gaz’d awhile

On her cold smile;

Too cold — too cold for me —

There pass’d, as a shroud,

A fleecy cloud,

And I turn’d away to thee,

Proud Evening Star,

In thy glory afar,

And dearer thy beam shall be;

For joy to my heart

Is the proud part

Thou bearest in Heav’n at night,

And more I admire

Thy distant fire,

Than that colder, lowly light.

-Edgar Allen Poe

Evening Star

Will: "Hey, that's my shoulder!"

I try to avoid typing a lot under my art, but I'm really proud of this one, so here it goes:

It's very loosely based on the poem Evening star' by Poe.

My art in this follows the events after Ulalume kills her good ol roommate, Psyche. Now, unfortunately because this is me I don't think I could properly make this whole thing understandable and will probably change this lore if I get the chance:

Pyche, Ulalume's roommate has gotten her spectre, a long time ago too, back in the maze. Cool. However, Ulalume has been getting less and less trustful of Pyche due to her fear of betrayal. Ulalume also notices that if she allows Pysche to linger, she may become emotionally attached. So, (and I'm still trying to figure out if this is meant to be before or after the wild hunt) she kills Pyche via strangulation and shoves her orb under their bed. Now, most of the paintings except the first painting takes place a few days after this murder. Ulalume hasn't been getting sleep not only because of the orb that keeps asking 'why' under her bed that she has now pushed together because yay big bed, but also because of how little she remembers from the killing. Like, she knows she did it. She 'remembers' it in the same way you remember writing a letter from years ago. You know you wrote it, but you simply can't recall the actual event. Mainly based off my own terrible memory and how I deal with my emotions when anything bad happens to me.

This also relates to the poem Ulalume where the speaker doesn't even realise he made it to his late lover's tomb.

Ulalume is very stressed now. She knows she isn't good at talking with people to any degree. But then she's sees it, Annabel. She rwlaises she has just found someone who she can rely on and won't feel guilty when the time comes to kill one another. Plus, Ulalume was sort of acquainted with Ada before the Manor arc. I haven't the slightest clue why Annabel would allow Ulalume into the clusterfucks outside of for the plot™

Also, Annabel's pose is inspired by 'Birth of Venus', because hear me out:

Annabel has an association with pearls. Pearls are form the sea plus in the Annabel Lee poem, she live sin a kingdom by the sea. Venus was born from a shell in the sea (more complicated than that) and the Greek equivalent of Venus is Aphrodite, and Annabel is pretty :3

In other words, I looked at Nevermore and thought 'How can I make this about me?'

So that's it for the painting. Also, Ulalume's sleeves changed for the plot too, I'll draw that in a comic one day. And as for her jabot, I looked at references from 1890s middle class women for it.

'You can't possibly be gay bc you like a male character' is SUCH a weird take in the year 2024. Not only is that male character my wife, I'm also his defense attorney and the father of his children
