What is it with fantasy high and girls dying before their lives ever began. How we can never really know who they are, or who they could’ve been. Brennan Lee Mulligan I will find you
#ramblings#fantasy high#dimension 20#fhjy#fantasy high junior year#lucy frostblade#yea yea this is obviously about Lucy. but also..#um#penelope everpetal#(collective booing from the crowd)#(I am dragged off the stage)#jokes aside tho#they both have that quality of haunting a narrative (Penelope specifically in the seven and Lucy in fhjy)#they’re gone. their stories are over. and yet#they have a hold over the ones they left behind#we will never truly know Lucy past anecdotes and old stories#penelope was an array of false faces and honestly? we’ll never know her either. all we’ve got is that old picture of her and Sam#and obviously Lucy was kinder. she definitely didn’t deserve what happened to her#while you could argue Penelope got what was coming for her#but the fact remains#Lucy Frostblade and Penelope Everpetal we’re both teenage girls who we can only catch glimpses of. forever#in some ways#they’re the same. dead girls who never fully leave. their ghosts still visible in the corner of your eyes#anyway rant over I’m just obsessed with d20 girls and I can draw parallels from anywhere#I might make a more… comprehensive post about this one day who knows

on the topic of Greta, I was doing the math yesterday and if she's 38 in 2007 then she would be ~21 in 1990. I think it's impossible for her to come back in any way or form and my theory is because her remains are in the foundation.
But... but but but, just for one second, I wanna imagine...🥺🥺🥺
#reverse 1999#greta hofmann#MIND you I want 38 year old Greta but we are currently in 1990 in the story so...#also worth noting she joined the foundation in 93 so I wonder what her and Adler were doing 3 years prior#I also heard Adler is considerably younger than her#I wonder if their parents are still around like Matilda's#or like Paulina they joined the foundation because they had nothing else going on#bluepoch can I have a Hofmann siblings anecdote? 👉👈#I still think it's interesting they mentioned Greta was like one fourth arcanist#is Adler the same?#does it affect anything?#rorie text

happy pride month everyone!!!
i've been looking at microlabels because i was feeling kind of inspired and i have been HORRIFIED to realize that one of MY microlabels has the most GOD AWFUL FLAG ive ever seen... i'm going to put it under a Read More because it's so ugly and because this post ISNT ABOUT HER, but i redid the flag myself, using some flower knowledge!
so behold!!!
the NEW AND IMPROVED.... SAPIO FLAG!!!
people who are sapio will start to feel a connection based on their partners' smarts and intellect! whether it's their verbocity, their quick-thinking, their mastery of their skill or interests, their certainty and astuteness will amaze and befuddle their sapio partner (which, in this case, would be me!!!)
inspired by the noble and beautiful IRIS, an orchid which is associated with intelligence, connection, partnership, and equality (purple irises in particular are associated with passion, the mind, and justice)! I literally just color-picked and adjusted it to be easy on the eye
so if you're like me and you've been wanting to rock a sapio flag that doesn't look like dogshit, this one's for you! go forth and use it to signal your appreciation/love/attraction to your clever-as-hell partner(s)!!!
original sapio flag under the cut... and no, i'm not joking...
THIS is the original flag. and brother... this is a face that only a mother could love 😔✊💔💔💔

I'm willing to at least hear out most of the "xyz plot point is heavily tied to abc cultural context" brands of posts but the "wwx isn't meant to be read as morally gray" and "the western fandom made up Sizhui being wangxian's son" brands of post make me feel like my cultural ignorance is being used to gaslight me
#mdzs#vent post#the filial piety stuff in relation to jgy is incredibly interesting and has influenced my opinion on him#being told about the whole mo dao vs gui dao thing was very helpful since that is completely lost in the english translation#whether or not wwx's self sacrificing tendencies are supposed to be a good thing is a conversation i find interesting#even though i haven't come to my own conclusion on it yet#but wwx not being morally gray??? bro was a major player in a war- no ones coming out of that spotless#i also just straight up don't trust y'all about what mxtx said on him being morally ideal#y'all take her words out of context or just straight up lie about what she said so often that#I can't take anything y'all “repeat” from her at face value. i need links to the sources before I'll believe anything#on Sizhui being wangxian's son:#thats so embedded in the text the only way I'd believe it wasn't the intended reading is if 7 seas straight up rewrote section of the books#because its more than just a few throw away lines and wwx calling him his little one#its sizhui being formally adopted into the lans (proven by the cloud pattern headband)#its the extra where they take him on a nighthunt/investigation without any of the other disciples#its the paying extra attention to his hw while doing the grading#its in the miscellaneous anecdotes Sizhui remembers from wwx even after he lost his memories from early childhood#its the baby stories and sizhui chewing on wwx's flute#its Sizhui's unconditional faith in the two of them#its in Sizhui's choosing the same instrument as lwj#that is their kid!!! not through modern western adoption but thats still their kid!!!#sizhui developing a close relationship with his uncle doesn't change that#Wen Ning is the cool untaking the lan babies on field trips. wangxian are the ones actually raising him#also mxtx has been pretty open about being influenced by things other than chinese classics#so using “well traditional Chinese story telling uses this convention” will never be automatically be the correct™️ take on her work#not to say her stories are completely devoid of traditional structures its just she mixes in other styles too

I'm bet Georgie felt bad that she couldn't get Jamie braces sooner.
I'm sure :( Mom guilt is killer
But I think Georgie probably has a lot of memories of Jamie's childhood where she feels like she wasn't enough and wishes she could've given him more where Jamie feels the complete opposite and would never even think to blame her, and I think that's probably one of them
#ask#Georgie telling Simon a story about Jamie's childhood and how she feels like she failed as a mother and wasn't enough for him while Jamie i#*is#three hours away recalling the exact same story to Roy but as like a delightful anecdote about how wonderful his mummy is#'god it was the worst christmas of my life we were in the DV shelter again and I had to get Jamie's gifts from the charity shops and there#was this awful snowstorm and the power went out and it was cold and dark and miserable I wish I'd been able to give him more'#'it was like the best Christmas ever mummy got me this awesome transformer and it snowed like half a meter and we played outside all day#and when it got dark we came in and lit candles and cuddled all night to stay warm'#which is not to say that Jamie's childhood was like. sunshine and roses obviously#but I think Georgie being such a great mom is the only thing that made Jamie's childhood bearable

Thinking about how one of Vil's favorite things growing up was his little secret base in his old home,,,,
#hc; vil#//Forever crying that V's closest approximation to a childhood friend by his definition would be Jack#//Bc he was the only kid (outside of Neige; but V hated him so he don't count) that didn't give V much trouble and was sweet to him#//But more than that#//Thinking Abt how V noted that he was far too used to people getting up in his face for both disparaging & his attention in some fashion#//How he said kid him felt most comfortable there in the dim bc no one could hope to find him and how SAFE he felt#//From both people who'd try & get on his home property to try'n see him and the fucken SUN; talkin like they're the same severity#//That last part abt him fretting over the sun on his skin was kinda cute dkjnftg#//But STILL#//Honestly; I need more of Jack and Vil interactions; those two are fucken adorable#//V should dote on him more lol clearly he has a favorite freshie the few times they do interact; and it surprisingly ain't Epel kjfdgnfg#//His sweet lil pupper lad#//Honestly; while V doesn't have fucken horror stories to the extent of Kalim for the most part;some of the stuff he says so casually still#catches me off guard. Like that comment abt crazy fans who'd dare sneak on his property so he had to find a means to hide from them#//And then decided he liked it enough to chill in so he can do his little witchy shit and benefit from less UV exposure#//Like bro was MUCH too flippant saying smth like that to Jack like it was a passing anecdote#//Bro was fucken TEN and already dealing with crazy shit like that and had to make for HIMSELF a means to hide from them#//The fact that the other benefits he found to his secret base were merely incidental compared the reason for making is fucken Insane

I think my least favorite Star Trek fumble is when the writers are clearly trying very hard to set up a cute romance, but they make the (otherwise perfectly normal) male characters act so obsessive and weird that their behavior just comes off as wildly inappropriate
#they always do this to geordi laforge and julien bashir#in a regular episode both of those guys are just normal fun characters#but if they’re in the same room as a potential love interest the writers make them act so deranged for no reason!#geordi is getting obsessive over holograms and bashir is flirting with disinterested patients and it’s just a hot mess#why does bashir think an anecdote about accidentally letting a child die is a cool story for a FIRST DATE?#anyway I don’t love most of these romance stories anyway because you know they’ll never last more than an episode#especially on TNG. if a new love interest shows up they’ll be dead or MIA by the end of the episode so it’s not even worth it#but the way they write their male characters is just the cherry on top

I think for me it would be a tie between the 9th grade World History teacher or my English 12 teacher.
I think I’ve talked about the history teacher before but the English teacher was something else. She had up in writing a little class clause in the syllabus about how the students with late night/long jabs were basically excused from dozing off because she understands. She had all of the lessons in the online catalogue for anything students may have missed for this exact reason. I was 17 doing manager level-work until close to 2am so I would get sleep anywhere I could afford to. The teacher who was supposed to be understanding of our lives outside of school would shake me awake, ask about why I was so tired, and compared my paychecks to grades the same week I had been dealing with a FAT VET BILL for my parakeet; AND, she told me that while my grades wouldn’t pay vet bills they could ‘help me get into veterinary school’ as if that was supposed to mean anything to me.
Fuck you Mrs. Smith, no one fucking liked you anyways, I hope your car stops in the middle of the freeway.
does everyone have a teacher that they still have beef with/ hold a grudge against today??
#she was also the same teacher who announced that one of her cats died before adding ''it’s fine I’ll just get another one''#stories from my eyes#anecdotes#ehveerivv#stories-from-my-eyes#fuck you Mrs smith#I was 17 I needed a nap not a lecture about a B- that wasn’t tanking

"but the balance was shattered when a wealthy individual engineered a child without flaws. this child could adapt to anything, yet he revered nothing. he soared above every rule and sneered at order itself. cracks in the system appeared, and where there are cracks, rebellion follows.
but we all know that rebels, in any universe, are branded as traitors. and they are forever condemned in history."

#i have been thinking nonstop about this anecdote for weeks it is STUCK in my brain like a curse#and seeing glimpses. of that 'child'. even if this isnt his story or timeline#every fractal is a part of the same source. and therefore they are the same#idk i need to just open a damn doc and put all my thoughts in there instead of yelling in my diary at 6am#my dumbass

I wish I could find the clip, but today my friend showed me a clip of himself and some of his friends livestreaming playing some video game, and when I tell you he had the only braincell there...the clip that took me out tho was his monologue to try to get the others to play the game better. just imagine a fucking storybot getting taller and shorter while ranting about "if you would all get your CRAP together and stop shooting at each other all the--put the gun down--PUT. THE GUN DOWN. Okay now if we all just work together and stop killing each other then MAYBE we can be successful here..."
#poor dude is slowly losing his mind this semester and the pack of idiots isn't helping#it's like a minute long too#school anecdotes#trying to tag these things properly but it's not easy#followed up closely by *player runs into blue goo that kills you* “hey the blue stuff kills you” (they all knew that)#for anyone who's been around a while... it's usually the same friend#he's quite the character#“my friend” searched in my blog is just all stories about this guy#“my roommate” is a different person and so is my sister#bro needs smarter friends fr. there's me but i don't play many video games. sorry dude

sometimes I still think abt aya and hardy. not because I care but because I don’t care :( I thought hardy was a cute character and I was hoping aya would have her cool hero moment in the actual story. they could’ve been more, and I’m always a little sad that they basically don’t develop for the whole game.
#‘they do develop—‘ not really….#I feel like most of their main story content is learning anecdotes rather than expanding on their concepts#also aya/cain and titania/hardy have beef but don’t conflict at all because they spend no time together???#they’re literally NEVER in the same place! why?? it’s insane#westalk#they’re the least interesting characters in the game to me. besides sirius who is genuinely rock bottom#<- oh and uh. I forgot his name that’s how much I don’t care. SAMSON#yeah but samson basically doesn’t exist though

I really like the whole “other members of the Batfam can mimic the Robin, report! to a degree where they actually respond as if it’s Batman,” but I raise you:
What if other Gothamites learned to do the same thing?
The first time it happens, Jim is panicking. He’s got an injured bird on his hands and no idea where Batman is. The kid isn’t responding no matter who asks questions, and suddenly the GCPD is treated to Commissioner Gordon doing a scarily good Batman impression, to the point Robin immediately responds
Word doesn’t necessarily get out right away. It happened in the precinct building, so the only witnesses were cops. But the rumors start in bars with drunk men telling anecdotes, with officers coming home with stories, and it spreads from there.
Eventually, people know that if you channel Batman and go “Robin, report!” the bird will go from gasping desperately in pain to a robotic list of injuries. EMTs learn to do this as part of their training. The Bats don’t go to hospitals, but they will let someone do emergency first aid on them.
Interestingly, it doesn’t just work on Robin. Gotham knows, regardless of what the rest of the world thinks, that their little birds grow up to become other Bats. It’s why their rivalry with Blüdhaven over Nightwing is so vicious. That’s their little bird the city is claiming. Blüdhaven did not raise him, Gotham did.
Of course, not all of the Bats were Robin. Signal flipped someone off for trying the trick, and Black Bat pulled out a sharpie and drew a sad face on a civilian’s hand when they were trying to see how injured she was after falling several stories due to a snapped grapple line. So, the trick isn’t universal.
The most surprising one was when someone found Red Hood, half-buried in rubble with a slash across his neck, and barked out the order in a panic and he immediately complied.
It wasn’t Batman who told the city he was their dead little bird. It was the panic of a passerby just trying to do the right thing.
After all, Gotham may not acknowledge it, but all of them love their birds. They are protectors, and not just from the rogues. They help with the murders, yes, but they also do small stuff. Stop muggings. Talk people down. Slip résumés into the right hands, guide people to the right clinics.
And just how the Bats protect and help the people of Gotham, Her citizens help and protect them.
#I guess this is just a day for ficlets huh#this was supposed to be short#dc universe#jason todd#dc comics#red hood#batman#robin#ficlet#nightwing#dick grayson#bruce wayne#black bat#cassandra cain#the signal#duke thomas#I wanted to put something for Tim Steph and Damian#but it didn’t really end up here#Robin report!

Essential genres of webcomics, updated for 2024:
Gag-a-day strip with the art and writing of a forgettable newspaper comic, but which inexplicably has 25 years worth of intricate setting lore and requires a day-long archive binge to fully understand the context of a grade-school pun.
Self-proclaimed deconstruction of superhero comics or giant robot anime or magical girls or something that has the exact same plot beats as every other self-proclaimed deconstruction of superhero comics or giant robot anime or magical girls or something. If you support the artist's Patreon you can download alternate versions of selected pages where the protagonist has their tits out.
Webtoon that sprang into existence complete with a hundred thousand followers at some point in the last week; the art displays immense technical mastery of figure drawing, but absolutely no grasp of panel layout, and the writing's gender politics are weirdly reactionary for something whose official synopsis manages to use the word "queer" three times in the space of two paragraphs.
Long-form narrative which hasn't received regular updates in several years due to the author's incredibly demanding real-life obligations, but instead of cancelling the comic or going on hiatus, they continue to publish one page roughly every four months with the kind of grim determination normally associated with historical anecdotes about the Battle of Stalingrad.
Fantasy adventure comic which you strongly suspect, but cannot prove, is a direct adaptation of somebody's high school GURPS campaign. The story is so elaborately and discursively plotted that you need to keep the fandom wiki open in a separate tab simply to remember who the fuck any of these people are.
Chicken-scratch parody comic about, like, Rainbow Brite fighting the Care Bears or some shit that somehow has better writing than anything on Netflix.
Semi-autobiographical slice of life comic, except with robots.
