#and the panic sets in

currently experiencing the inevitable crashout after talking about my problems for more than five minutes with new-ish friends

DEVASTATED to report that i do, in fact, experience less writers block when writing free-hand instead of on the computer

you've been put in A Situation. you have to deal with it and get out to the other side alive. luckily a portal opens and a Star Trek character emerges to help!

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

Random Setting

Danny was honestly close to using the w word, which with Desiree being a possibility was not the greatest idea, but that is how bad things had gotten. Clockwork had told him he had reached the point where he needed to create his own summon sigil, as if he waited too long he would be considered a free roaming entity that could be pulled at random.

He hadn’t even procrastinated either, it’s just that making your own sigil has a lot of steps and he hadn’t manage to finish before the summons started happening. Luckily it wasn’t permanent, once he finished the sigil it would stop. Unfortunately he still had school and there wasn’t a specific time of when he would be summoned.

Trying to hide it wouldn’t work with his usual method, so he decided to fib and told both his parents and Mr. Lancer that he got tagged by some ghost and he may show some powers or something might happen. His parents had put him through a series of scans with their inventions and luckily found nothing.

It was the next day that Danny had been summoned right in the middle of class. It was easy to end the summons and be sent back (just being some college kids having fun) but now the school knew he could disappear at random.

After a month of this, Danny had just about finished the sigil when he felt the summons again. He couldn’t help but let out a deep exasperated sigh when he appeared above some costumed guys restrained in a circle, obvious cultists talking about the Ghost King and cleansing the city.

Ugh, he can already tell this is going to be a whole mess.

Have been dealing with my Anxiety Disorder™ lately, because [gestures at everything]. Normally it’s a real low level kind of thing, I’m on medication, I occasionally have therapy, but I think now we’re all just kind of In It for a while and that’s just something we gotta deal with.

I would strenuously encourage everyone reading this to find the things that keep you afloat, whether it’s a video game, a TV show, standup comedy, anime, a book series, your favorite YouTube channel, one song on loop for eight entire days, whatever it is. Just find something to climb into for a few hours and protect your peace, build up your reserves, for as long as you can.

I feel like I haven’t done much in 2024 except hang on by my fingernails, and sometimes you gotta call that good.

“Wait, wait, wait, short baby Robin, back it up. You followed a radioactive green dog into the sewers? With no weapons?”

“Don’t be an idiot Grayson, I always have a weapon on me. It’d be counterproductive if I didn’t. Anyway- the dog disappeared and I was already down there so I followed the voices to this room—”

“You followed voices?!?”

“Do try to keep up.” Damian snipped. “Yes, and there was a room down there, like some sort of tomb and then I pulled this guy out of the coffin there.” And subsequently gave himself mild frostbite he was guessing by the way he still couldn’t feel his hands. Dick looked mid aneurysm at Damian’s minimal explanation but that had the benefit of him not asking anymore questions as he let them into the apartment, offering to take the teenager from Damian wordlessly.

“Did he tell you anything?” Dick pressed fingers to the teen’s wrist, brow furrowed. “Low pulse, okay. Okay. To the living room then. Was he awake when you got him out?”

“For a few moments.”

“And did you ask him for a name?”

“No.”

“Damian.”

“I was preoccupied with finding a living person in a glass coffin Grayson. He did say one thing though.” Besides thanking Damian but he was keeping that to himself for as long as he could.

“What was it?”

“The Packers suck.”

“Like the football team?” Dick questioned and Damian shrugged.

1-2 weeks to finish the remaining 2 minutes of this film, do you guys believe in me ?

[lover-of-mine]

Also I'm so fucking tired of yall saying that Eddie is just not good with words and Buck's love is more believable because he says it. Basically all of the quotes we use are something Eddie said. The insanity that Eddie is bad with words needs to fucking end. Buck is the acts of service guy and Eddie is the words guy. PLEASE STOP SAYING EDDIE IS BAD WITH WORDS. "Oh, Eddie just doesn't say his feelings" what the fuck is "You do matter to me" then? A fucking potato????????????????????????????????????

I love how Din and Cobb's first encounter is clearly supposed to be a tense standoff between two space cowboys because there's only meant to be room for one of them in this town, so we as the audience are meant to be on the edge of our seats, worried for Din and wondering who's going to shoot first... but instead everyone collectively decided that moment was full of homosexual tension and they should just kiss instead.

I always love posting my misfit polycule propaganda, but these three specifically really got a tight grip on my shoulders for a period of time

FINALLY got around to redoing my old underswap napstablook / napstabot / dapperbot design :> i like them a whole lot. napstablook has never seemed very interested in being corporeal so i wanted to push the ghost element really hard, which was a lot of fun actually !

i think their arc would probably center around not trying to be someone they aren't, or maybe learning to make music just for their own enjoyment instead of for an audience and stepping down from the spotlight. they'd probably go back to being a ghost eventually, but they'd shift to using their remaining platform to help boost mettaton up instead!

!!*please remember napstablook uses they/them pronouns!!
