ok not to be that guy but like. labor rights and working class rights can coexist with 24h services and late amenities. its certainly hard to do so without worker exploitation in this political and social environment, it’s not a conflict likely to resolve overnight. but 24h services are important and especially valuable to those of us that are disabled or are on a different circadian rhythm. in fact more professional, health, and government services should be available or at least possible to work on asynchronously (if applicable) during late or odd hours, while workers also get sufficient pay for their labor and proper consistent scheduling. this would be much easier on the workers with night schedules if the entire professional world didn’t grind to a halt at 5pmEST
#just like. it doesn’t have to be this way#the number of people I’ve talked to who would absolutely do a night schedule if it didn’t suck ass because you can never get anything done#like. go to the doctor. without waking up at your equivalent of 2am to make their latest afternoon slot#the sleep deprivation of trying to keep a normal schedule and trying to get stuff done sometimes on my natural schedule are like#the same. I started getting fevers any time I stayed up longer than 14 hours bc I had to do it so often to make appts#it’s only a little better now because I’ve been strict with a schedule that’s somewhere in the middle#so I at least have 2 hours to try and do stuff before the entire country fucks off to bed#.txt

same people crying about ups drivers winning $42/hour are the same people who dismiss unions and say they just take your money and don't do anything for you. Bet you'd like $42/hour!!!!!!!
#not to discount the experiences of workers like those part of the national nurses united union#who are working to unseat corrupt and ineffective union staff who have not been representing their members#but a union is made up of its members and if you dont like what your union is doing there are avenues to get involved#also! a union's power comes from its membership numbers. if youre working at a union site and youre not a member. well.#why do you love management so much#and if your workplace isnt unionized. well. there hasnt been a better time in a century to get started#henry speaks

Stone is a good liar
#stobotnik#agent stone#doctor ivo robotnik#sonic movie universe#this one is funny to me for a number of reasons allow me#first. stone no one wants your job#no one is even sure why YOU want your job#honestly every other agent is very thankful it's you and not them#second rob stop spying on stone#whenever i draw them in different places please assume robotnik is watching#he's got better things to do but also he does what he wants so#third robotnik should not be offended#by all means this is good#this means stone knows his place#it also means that stone is not insane because... come on#but he is. he is very offended#he doesn't know why and he won't ask himself why#but stone will have to deal with it

Obsessed with the way Brennan has encapsulated “No cost too great” in the character of Steel. She would lay down her life to win a battle and for the chance to see her daughter again. She would sacrifice that same daughter to a coven of witches for the chance at intel. She would put a spell on her daughter that could kill her and would take the Citadel flagship across the sea during wartime to make sure no one else could.
She is building the new world for her daughter. She would execute her daughter to maintain her position. She is building the new world for the next generation of wizards. She would send them all into the meat grinder if it were needed. She is building the new world to bring peace for everyone. The lives of children are a detail that she cannot afford to attend to.
Her enemies showed her a vision of the future and she will pay any price for it. And I cannot wait to see what that vision entails.
#hello the latest episodes of wbn have captivated me so much I had to come back#mama warcrimes the things you do to me#it’s so cute the way Suvi gets her justification machine from steel#and by cute I mean#the generational trauma in the citadel runs deeper than I imagined#also for any HK fans yes that’s what I’m referencing#what better parallel than the King who sacrificed millions of children#and did something even worse to the one child to precious to kill#the wizard the witch and the wild one#worlds beyond number#wbn#the wizard steel#wwwo#wbn spoilers#wbn steel

re: that fucking staff post. obviously death to algorithms, but i also wanna interrogate the wider underlying assumptions of their logic there cuz. is 'success' having lots of followers & lots of popular posts??? why is that the end goal of using this website. i don't open tumblr to get attention from strangers, i open tumblr to read funny jokes and interesting commentary and to see cool art. encouraging clout-chasing will only increase user engagement if you successfully get people literally addicted to the associated dopamine hit. what if we didn't have to do that!!! what if a website could be a place you went to on purpose because you had fun there!!!!
#yelling at clouds#you cannot be tiktok. we already have tiktok.#there is a limited number of people on this earth with smart phones and the free time to rot their brains online#your goal cannot be Endless Growth you stupid fucking capitalists#like sure the site is confusing at first. because you have to learn how to use it.#be better at explaining it do not fundamentally change it there is no such thing as universally intuitive design

Hey babes, c’mere for a sec, I’m gonna hold your hand while I say something we both need to hear
It’s okay, and encouraged even, to make and create things that (maybe) only you’ll like. You need to feed the creativity, appeal to your id in a way that literally no one else can. Allow yourself to be a little self indulgent without expectation, especially in this hellscape world.
And also, you’re allowed to be sad if, in sharing that work, it doesn’t receive good feedback, or even little to none. It can feel very personal, especially with things close to heart like that. It doesn’t make you a bad, selfish, or arrogant person. Just remember that social media nowadays is unkind to artists for a variety of reasons, and don’t let yourself get caught up in the numbers game. Lots of likes+reblogs+shares etc. ≠ worth, don’t chase that rabbit.
I know there’s no high like validation, and that it’s hard to create when it feels like presenting to a void, but you’ve gotta create for you at the end of the day. Create for kid you, for teenage you, for the you who hasn’t shown up yet. Don’t let the internet, other people, or the world take that from you.
Keep doing what you want to do, not what you think will be popular or well-received. There’s folks out there who will love it, sometimes it takes time for them to find it.
Anyways. Love u have a good day
#thanks for coming to my ted talk#the numbers game gets my ass so often but I’m trying to do better#I gave up on art for like. a decade. because I didn’t think I was good enough and no one liked it#I get burnout so easily in part because of my own perfectionism issues#in the most loving way: it’s not that serious darling pls have fun

The Justice League have a problem, one that needs some level of knowledge and expertise of a being from the Infinite Realms to give them a better chance of actually solving this problem.
However.
Every ghost they have summoned, without fail, took one look at Constantine. Squinted (yes, squinted). Then decided to go back to where they came without a word.
This. Would have been useful, nice even. If it was a situation where they needed the summoned being of a cult to head back to where they came without a fight.
But alas, that is not what is happening.
The Justice League, obviously, ask him why the ghosts keep fleeing back to their Realm at the sight of him, but Constantine can't answer because he genuinely has no idea why they keep leaving when getting a proper look at him.
So they keep trying and they do find some success in it. They summoned a boy, most likely older than he physically looks yet it still puts some of them off because of, well.
You know.
A boy with white hair and toxic green eyes. The boy stops short, as if not expecting to be randomly transported to somewhere else, takes a look around the room, then the Justice League. His eyes settle on one person.
Constantine, in particular.
He squints (Why do all of them squint? Nobody knows) and then a sudden looking of realization passes on his face. Different from the looks of vague fear and genuinely want to not involve themselves any further, his face held slight disgust and a heavy amount of disappointment.
Thankfully, he didn't leave immediately after that.
Constantine asks what's with the look on the ghost boy's face, the ghost boy in question squints even further. Stares at Constantine for a moment or two, buries his face in his hands and brings his knees to his hand and groans out.
"He could've done so much better."
#dc x dp#dp x dc#dpxdc#dp x dc crossover#dcxdp#dc x dp crossover#Yes this is vaguely tied to that other post about Vlad turning good and taking Constantine as his crush and boyfriend while Danny is like:#“Dude you exchanged THAT for my MOTHER?”#And tells Vlad he could do so#So#Much better#But Vlad is smitten#Anyways#The ghosts just leave after seeing Constantine because of Vlad#Like he may or may not have threatened a high number of them at the same time to not lay a hand on him#The ghosts#For their part#Don't want to involve themselves with the reclusive one#The outgoing one (Danny) is cool but the reclusive one (Vlad) kinda scary#Has generally bad vibes#And is ruthless#So they'll avoid incurring his wrath for this random human who they most likely won't ever meet again thank you very much#Right I just thought of this but#His Vulture underlings are also like:#“Boss please you could do so much better.”#While Vlad is making cheese

Prompt 207
Danny does not come out of the portal.
In fact, he’s lost. Very lost. He just wants to go home and is getting scared of everything around him because he doesn’t know what’s going on. But! But he’s found an (admittedly also terrifying) castle or keep or whatever they’re called that all the ghosts avoid!
It never exactly enters his mind that they might have been avoiding such a place for a reason.
In unrelated news, the first thing Fright Knight sees after his sword was (accidentally) knocked free from its prison is not a blob ghost- they’ve done it a few times over the eternities- but a ghostling. A newborn ghostling, who promptly bursts into tears to his genuine horror. What did he do?!
#Prompts#Danny Phantom#DP#Dad Fright Knight#He’s trying to calm the few-days dead ghostling#Danny is like the size of a small child compared to Fright#Danny being a Halfa didn’t get the instinctive information other ghostlings do#& thx to his parents’ study doesn’t know ghosts aren’t all bad#Fright (slightly panicking): Would you feel better if I gave you a blade??#Danny does get a very big (for him) knife that Fright gently adjusts his grip on during their adventure#Fright: Is this the area you came from?#Danny: No :(#Fright: Would petting Nightmare make you feel better#Danny: Omg a horsie yay#Amity does still have to deal with the rest of the ghosts while this is going on#Then one day there’s this whole ass giant hell knight and tiny child standing there#Fright Knight: I have had this ghostling for (insert number of weeks) and if anything happened to him I would release Pariah to destroy eve#Fright Knight#Danny Fenton

Fuck it, classics predictions for Tumblr in 2024
Terfs will go so far in their bio essentialism that they will insist that women are fundamentally cold and wet and men are hot and dry, due to being cooked more in the womb
Fake Tumblr activism will accidentally bring back the Oppian Laws
Aeneas will become Tumblrs new poor little meow meow but only after someone publishes a retelling where he and Turnus are in love
Someone invents another fake goddess
Oracle of Delphi blog emerges to catalogue Tumblr moments of prophecy
#these are all terrible. please tell me if you have your own#i do think if someone pitched aeneas and turnus as toxic enemies to lovers the aeneid would do numbers on here. for better or for worse#tagamemnon#classics memes

i think im not a fan of what dc keeps doing with jason because they keep having him, the abused, become an abuser in some way shape or form. and the classism they don't want to talk about (i am being so for real there is a genuine problem of both writers and readers who do not understand jason's background and it pissed me off so bad because it always shapes their opinion of him in the wrong way and they don't care to even try to listen). and how if they were going to have him come back they should have had delved into his identity crisis and the inherent horror of coming back but not knowing how or why or what to do about it and not knowing what you were doing while dead and having to deal with time jumping forward on you and the fact that you will never get the time back and no one will he the same as they were before you died and how isolating and lonely that would be. and they also definitely weren't prepared for the fact that jason was grieving his life and his death and his hopes for his mother and his dad who didn't get there in time and the dc writers are fucking cowards. which brings me to my next point: why do we keep listening to them about shit because they are quite literally always fighting with each other and projecting their own personal biases into characters (i.e. making them worse than they are/2 dimensional/trying to make them iredeemable so their favorite character gets to shine) and also they are all freaks of nature with a consistent problem of being God Awful People who why would we trust them with these characters. jason todd they don't get you like i do
#it's 3AM and i woke up out of a fitful sleep to write this post#i hallucinated jason todd while trying to sleep#(just like them bitches in the comics always fucking do can we point that out. actually. they always fucking hallucinate someone in their#family but mostly jason. when he was dead and stuff#more hallucinations or give me death#i meant that figuratively#the second part#i want more hallucinations or give me someone talking about how that used to happen to them and jason going “wtf r u good ?” or#“ew keep me out of your brain freak”#(second one directed at tim)#what was i saying#ummmm#jason todd#he deserves better#coming from a similar background means i am his number one defender#i have mommy issues too so tack that on there#the way people look at and treat the homeless makes me infuriated because you dont get it#you dont GET IT#until it's YOU mother fucker

DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN | 1.09
You couldn't call me?
#Daredevil Born Again#Karedevil#Karen Page#Matt Murdock#ddba spoilers#Daredeviledit#Daredevil Spoilers#Not Revolution#GIF set#Mine#Shippers gonna ship#I find it really hard to express why I like this so much and yet STILL want Kastle#It's something about how Matt relaxes around her#He's so guarded 99% of the time. And he pushed her away HARD many MANY times over the years for whatever BS reason he could think of#and they've finally gotten to a place (and it's a year later than would have been better for everyone) where this is permanent.#This is safe. This is home. They're stuck with each other.#And I love the contrast between Matt anxiously trying to convince Kristen and his gf that there's a threat and he has to go DO STUFF and#how different the reaction is when he says the same things (albeit with more detail) to Frank and Karen. It's night and day.#He's only a real person with people who know his secret identity.#There's something delicious about a phone call being where Matt's stuck. As if he doesn't have a history of dodging her calls. And I get#that he would have welcomed calls now - or in the last year - but there are so many scenes were poor karen is just getting shutdown by Matt#and Foggy. Calls unanswered or ended quickly. Because they have other stuff going on and lying to her is hard so it's easier not to pick up#And then you have Frank who is like... a fugitive? A hermit basically. Someone off the grid. Living in a basement. Who has an active cell#plan and has made sure Karen has his number in case she needs it. And he clearly answers when she rings. And there's no one else ringing.#So it's basically a phone - maybe specifically so Karen can reach out.#AND I LOVE THE FRAMING OF THIS SHOT. I love how close Matt and Karen are sitting. I love that Frank is pretending to ignore them.#Coz there's no way he's okay with how close they are. But he's not going to make it weird because he's a good friend to Karen.#Maybe I should blame Karen for me shipping every ship that involves Karen.

An important aspect to my work daydreams the bad dad au is Shen Qingqiu.
Like. he sucks. The au name is not a joke he is objectively a terrible parent. Sure! He ain't the worst!
But uh Shen Yuan is a qijiu baby. A 0% reconciliation qijiu baby. He's got Yue Qingyuan's smile and his eyes, he's got Qi-ge's oversized ears, he's got his dimples. Shen Yuan's also a 0% therapy Shen Qingqiu baby so every part of him that is not Qi-ge, is Xiao Jiu and, well, we all know how Shen Qingqiu feels about himself.
And that's just based on his appearance! Wait until Shen Yuan is old enough to have a personality, one too much like Shen Qingqiu's own and yet still far too soft! Shen Qingqiu can't decide between hiding him away or forcing to act exactly like Shen Qingqiu!
#can we please get this man some therapy on god#no he did not tell yue qingyuan he was pregnant#they fucked probably due to pollen sqq disappeared for the better part of a year and came back with a baby#yue qingyuan has no idea sy is his he refuses to even consider it#for a number of fucked up reasons#yqy tries to be nice to sy but best he can do is cold indifference because again sy looks like qi-ge#and yqy is not better when it comes to self hatred#rip#svsss#shen yuan#svsss au#shen qingqiu#shen jiu#yue qingyuan#bad dad au
