Prof. Danny Nightingale

Danny honestly has no idea how he became a science professor to a bunch of kids in Gotham University where he works as a librarian...

Danny Nightingale is a 22 year old librarian who has been working at Gotham University for nearly 2 months now. he is currently raising a 5 year old de-aged (or not up to you) Dani, who prefers to be called that in order to start confusion and chaos, and a re-formed 14 year old Dan (he's stuck in a kids body or aging up slowly is up to you) who is attending Gotham U (maybe he's in the same class as Damian and they bond about stabbing??)

And even though Danny's just a librarian but after helping some kids with their science homework and protecting them in a rouge attacks, he's practically formed a club for any kid who needs help with anything, but mostly science and mental stability, Danny should really thank Jazz for all those lectures...

tag me if this gets used cuz I wanna read!!

Barok and the Shitty Ass Anniversary

Y’all’s fault

Here’s the last panel without the words bc I’m pretty proud of it

[sergle]

When I talk about something bad I've experienced, Baked In to my experience as A Woman, I am not "making my little cousins feel like shit for being women", because I am talking in a space with, allegedly, adults. I am not bringing my problems to children in the first place. That said, I don't HAVE to make my baby cousin feel bad, because she's already experienced sexual harassment in her life, and she's only 8, and doesn't even understand what any of it means yet. And everyone in her family can try to instill confidence in her, and never talk about our bodies in a negative way. But she can still feel like she's too chubby, because she still goes to school, and talks to other kids and their parents, and still sees ads, and still watches tv. We can be positive, but we can't fix the root of the problem. And I don't HAVE to tell trans women that "pain is a rite of passage", because that's not a Rule being enforced (by me), because I've already sat and listened to my friend complain about constantly shaving as a Baseline necessity and how it hurts her skin and she has to put makeup onto fresh cuts on her face because going out without a full face of properly feminine makeup would make her life worse, and being anything less than thin and lithe makes her "less feminine", and ALL the things that can make her "more feminine" are behind a paywall. And I can try to make her feel better, and I can hear her experiencing the tenfold version of problems I relate to, but I can't fix the root cause of her problems by just telling her not to complain. Forcing happiness as a core personality trait for women is not the Girlboss Feminist move that you think it is, and no amount of gender euphoria in the world will make you immune to systemic oppression.

Anybody else ever just think about King Alistair and the Hero of Ferelden riding into battle together during the events of Veilguard, and get emotional? Like this entire journey started with them having to defend Ferelden —their home— during the Fifth Blight, and now they're together again to do the same in the Blight to End All Blights. 😭

secret third take on The Situation where i'm a yellow apologist but also don't think you can blame arthur for how all that shook out. i think they both did exactly as well as could be expected given the circumstances. by which i mean bad. the circumstances were bad and they did bad.

if any of my palasaki girlies are looking for a new song to listen to while crying about crystal & niko, BOY DO I HAVE THE SONG FOR YOU

"cuz I felt every bone in your hand

our two skeletons breathing with no kind of plan

I'll remember us drunk, cold, warm, high the first few hours where I wasn't just waiting to die

oh I wasn't just waiting to die

for the very first time in my life"

i think i’ve learned a lot when it comes to not applying my own values to the media i consume

for my script analysis class yesterday, we discussed two gentleman from verona, and nearly every classmate of mine was up in arms about how sexist the story is.

and i'm not saying it's not, or that it's not infuriating to read. but i'm also not putting my energy into getting upset about something written 500 or so years ago. and i'm not about to put my own beliefs onto these characters that are not me. i'm going to let their choices speak for themselves, and interpret it in the context of the story.

all that said, this now brings me to the point of alastor in episode 5, and how viscerally people are responding to it. those of you up in arms about the choices he’s making, and the violent threat he gave husk, you’re missing the entire point of his character, of this place they’re in, of the story being told. he’s an overlord, and he became an overlord by killing much bigger overlords and broadcasting their deaths over the radio.

HE IS NOT A GOOD PERSON.

if you started this show with the belief that every character working the hotel is a good person, you’re in the wrong place. watch the good place if you’re looking for a good wholesome story about getting dead sinners into heaven, because that’s not what this show is about.

you’re more than welcome to hate him after seeing the way he exerted power over a being whose soul he owns, but you’re doing the media you’re watching a disservice by writing it off so quickly. if you don’t like to be uncomfortable watching media, watch something else. this is an uncomfortable show, it handles uncomfortable topics, and it’s going to be an uncomfortable ride, and if you’re not up for something like that, then you should take a break from it and pick up something else. you don’t have to get online and defend your own ideals while you watch a show that goes against your ideals.

It is very difficult to realize and accept the fact that all this time the events taking place in my life, no matter how insignificant they may seem to me, somehow had an impact on me and my psyche. When at first you could dismiss it and ignore it, because "well, it happens sometimes, but the rest of the time I'm fine and I can function normally," but then you suddenly stop eating, you don't feel anything for the interests you once had, you move away from everyone and you stop participating in any activities, disappearing from the radar. All you can do now is mindlessly lie in one place and cry for no reason. You can't draw anymore because you're too sad and you don't have the energy and motivation. You can't play games or watch anything anymore because it's almost impossible to focus on it and everything is too vague. You can no longer interact with people, even your loved ones, because a migraine starts just from a small attempt to think and you are too tired to talk for more than a few minutes.

Everything is dim or even black and white, or there are absolutely no sounds, or TV noise when it stops working. Blurred faces, memory gaps, and sometimes the inability to remember your or your loved ones' names.

Only then does it suddenly become clear how deeply and strongly this thing has penetrated the brain, that it has not gone anywhere and has been here all this time, all these 10+ years. I keep replaying it in my head. I constantly cannot fully accept the fact that all this time it has continued to develop and progress, how much it has affected me, my activities and my relationships with others. It's sad, i guess. There's nothing more to say.

It's probably too late and I really should just accept it. To live knowing that nothing can be returned and it's really end. Just sad that this happened.

Just watched the buffy episode "normal again" and overall I really liked it, but I'm really confused as to why Dawn got mad at Buffy and had that whole line of "it's your perfect reality and I'm not in it"? Like in what world is a perfect reality the one where you've been stuck in an institution for years and don't know what's real and what isn't

Muse of Violence, Warrior of Science.

To the ordinary, everyday genius scientist-for-hire with a heart too big for her own good, we raise our sake cups.

You gave us food. You tried to protect us. You gave your life to ensure we'd all live on. Just lending a hand.

You knew it would end like this. We all knew it would end like this, and yet you still did it. And you did it to protect the friends you had made and the family you had left. And you did it all on your own terms, smiling all the way to the afterlife, knowing your will would be inherited by those you saved.

Clone or Machine or Satellite or Daughter. It matters not what you were. Because you went out like a true member of those who carry the will of D.

Thanks for everything, Atlas. For a satellite representing rage and violence, you had the biggest heart of any of them.
