#// to some shady organization

[signalterminated]

no shade to alkaline because i love EVERYTHING about it but the music video is soooo so funny like it’s 3 minutes of Vessel sitting in a chair moving his hands and body ominously before he nonchalantly kills some guys with his magic powers. he force chokes someone to death. there’s a giant claw. this is the sort of thing you think is the coolest shit ever when you’re like 16 years old and he’s just getting to Do That with his sexy cult leader alter ego. living the dream. i’m so fucking glad we have this man whoever he is

[dailykeiji]

i have exactly one jokey crossover ship involving keiji and it's him x kazui from milgram. they're just way too similar to each other i think they should kiss about it

"How are the blues?"

"A pain in my ass, every single day. No wonder Sarge took that grudge to his grave."

"If anything happens, just call me."

"We have been missing an inept medic around here."

"I know my way around a body, thank you very much!"

Sometimes memories pass down in the form of a rookie medic-in-training and the neurotic leader of a box canyon boot camp.

in my pacific rim era (again) so after the sign, i present you pit babe jeffalan pacific rim au bc i have no self-preservation.

so shit hits the fan (again) and the jeager program is the last thing that stands between humanity and the end of the world as we know it (of course). the x-hunters are all jaeger pilots based in bangkok.

alan is the leader/captain/dude in charge (idk idc) of the bangkok dome. he is an ex-jaeger pilot (one of the first people to ever pilot a jaeger ever) who's not piloting anymore after losing his partner (yes, there's a recurring motif, shush).

jeff is one of their mechanics who is taking care of the machines. he is younger brother of charlie (babe's drift partner). he keeps to himself so most people don't even know he works there (your typical jeff behaviour)

something something pit babe (charliebabe jaeger) gets demaged really badly and jeff does his magic and make it work, using alan as his handy boy bc they're out of staff and alan if alan has two functional hands then he can fucking use them (jeff's words). alan falls in love immediately (jeff too but my boy is way too shy and stubborn for his own good). somehow alan manages to get his boy and they will fight the monsters together (from the safety of the dome bc they do have some working brain cells and do not need to fight the kaijus personally)

they just didn't have to write him as "a great philanthropist"; "a generous benefactor of the empire bay planetarium"; "frequent officer of the empire bay press guild"; "a frequent target of political slander and false arrest because of generosity towards the press"

and at the same time write him as the first of the others to organize drug trafficking; a man who tried to kill all his competitors; "a shady bastard, even for guys in this business"; "ruthless modernizer"; a man who secretly views his close friend as a liability; "the man who killed his own boss" to take his place

"few will moan moretti's passing" from the lost heaven's newspapers and there's nothing like that in the cut-out news reports about carlo's death

[kareenvorbarra]

started my third full DA:O playthrough fully intending to romance Leliana this time (my previous two wardens dated Alistair and Zevran), but THEN I thought about the parallels between Brosca and Zevran’s backstories and now I can’t stop thinking about their potential

The west doesn't need to fight for other countries because the west is busy with its own struggles. The only time I'd resort to my White Savior TM "complex" is whenever I'm reminded that scrotes could take away my rights, like Roe v Wade.

I don’t agree.

I think living in developed countries gives us a responsibility to help, especially with how we got to that point of development in a globalized economy. We depend on developing countries for many things, and we have been having a non negligible impact on many countries’ history.

Being a « white savior » implies forcefully intervening in another country to solve something we alone have identified as a problem with solutions we didn’t discuss with local people. It’s invasive, many times it’s been used as a cover for an actual invasions, and it doesn’t work.

I believe there is a way to help without being overbearing, but in my opinion NGOs should be much more controlled.

When the double-whammy of angst that is Legacy and Unveiled Secrets back-to-back is over we need something lighthearted and dumb as a palette cleanser, so I propose that Jeeves decides to host a minimal-rules car race around the world. Just a wacky, high-octane globe-trotting adventure where the only stakes are the prize at the end and the potential loss of life and limb that a bunch of crazy cartoon characters racing around the world facilitates.

Characters from the other SMG universes and beyond also hear about the race and want in on this shit, including a few villains, just to make things extra crazy. And manipulating things in the background are the race's secret benefactors, who turn out to be that shady IRL organization who manipulated that one guy into abducting Tari that one time (remember? from this arc that I never actually finished? Yeah that stuff's coming back).

[lord-squiggletits]

The main thing about IDW OP that I'm on my hands and knees begging people to understand is to actually treat him like a fucking character and give him the nuanced understanding that this fandom gives to other characters just fine. Like, I s2g the reason no one even talks about IDW OP is because at the first sign of him making mistakes or having a flawed worldview (you know, like a REAL PERSON and not a cartoon caricature) they instantly bail and go "zomg worst Optimus ever".

Like please for fuck's sake IDW1 is a story steeped in realism and moral grayness can you stop for ONE SECOND and realize that IDW OP being a little bit of an asshole or making big mistakes doesn't instantly make him the worst character ever and maybe take the time to actually read his story? B/c half the shit people say about IDW OP makes it obvious that they've only read MTMTE and LL (badly, might I add) and it annoys the shit out of me

[roetrolls]

<- trying to decide how best to establish some lore i pinned down last night

[thepioden]

I have trained my TTS app to correctly pronounce Drizzt and Guenhwyvar, but now it trips up on elf and has to spell it out. E-L-F.

[freepassbound]

Trying to keep up a run of pleasant days and looking after my mental (and physical, I guess) health by getting out.

And maybe it's that, creating some sort of elevated mindset - or that I was deliriously tired from the hardest hike I've done in a year (it wasn't that long really - but it had hills) - but, when the loop I was doing took me through part of the campground, and I saw all the people there camping and enjoying the outdoors, I felt... strangely proud? And optimistic about humanity? All the families with young kids and the old retirees and the young adults; cooking hotdogs over a campfire (yes, in the middle of the day), sitting around in their lawnchairs in the shade having a chat, playing some sort of plastic-can frisbee game... like, sure, some of those people are probably idiots, who might be staying up until after midnight tonight drinking and playing music - but this afternoon they were all just people, soaking in the nature and having a good time camping.

[hirazuki]

I caught up again with Hunter x Hunter I keep forgetting it’s no longer on hiatus and keep falling behind lmao and

let the kidnappings and murders be associated with the Kurta clan please Togashi I am begging T_T

[evilminji]

Okay but? We of the DPxDC? Are COMPLETELY Sleeping on DPXBNHA?

And not even for the Main Plot Shenanigans!

Just?? It has ALL of DC's super powers? But MORE OF THEM. And like 80% of the population has um! Danny can?? Finally achieve his DREAM of being???

JUST SOME DUDE™!

Yeah, he's in Japan. That's a bit of a learning curve. And YEAH, there was a cataclysmic war like a few centuries back that sorta... fucked everybody up. No one wants to talk about it. There may be mass graves and Never Forget memorials. But?

On the SURFACE!

This place seems utopian!

No ghost hunters! Advanced technology! Robust social services*!

Wait... what was that asterisk? What do you mean "corrupt shadowy government organizations"? What do you MEAN "Immortal Supervillians"? NO SPACE PROGRAM!?!? AaaaaAAAAAAAAAAH?!?!? I'M IN HELL!!! This is ACTUALLY THE BAD PLACE, THIS IS HELL, OH GOD NOOOOOOO-!!!!!!

Cause see?

There are SO MANY REASONS he'd end up there?

Think about it! Wish that he lived somewhere his weird biology wouldn't exclude him from becoming an astronaut? In Quirks having Bnha Japan EVERYBODY has weird biology! Y'ain't special! You could TOTALLY be an astronaut!..... if we HAD those! We do not. Shut down that program during the Quirk Wars and never really started it again. (And somewhere, Desiree LAUGHS)

Or MAYBE? Things are getting a little hot on the ground? Bit TOO spicy. The Family Fenton and Friends have fallen back, behind the barely holding shields. Not even the Mansons considerable political maneuvering could stop the inevitably of human fear and blind unthinking hatred. Money can't buy everything, in the end. There is only ONE(1) way out.

Through the Zone.

Plan: Strangers In A Strange World is a go.

They're all Limnal enough to fake it. Sam with her plants. Tucker with his technology and persuasion. Jazz with her limited empathy. Their parents with their... well, weirdness. And with a touch of ghostly assisted meddling? Well, they've always BEEN there! Haven't they?

And that's not to MENTION the random 4 year olds with no control! JUST coming into their powers! With all those big emotions in tiny bodies? Startling events and tantrums? Villian attacks? What could THEY possibly hope to do to control or guide that fresh new power? It does what it does and the rest of us are just along for the ride!

If Danny happens to be minding his business and gets accidentally kidnapped by a VERY distraught 4 year old? Well, that's hardly the KIDS fault, now is it? They're FOUR! That is basically a toddler! Tiny child! They are upset, confused, and didn't mean to do ANYTHING. He's a hero. And Heros don't blame little kids from accidents, no matter HOW stressed it makes them.

No, the curse like a sailor INSIDE their head. Like an ADULT.

Just? Imagine~☆

The slow transition from *starry eyed shoujo sparkles* "This is SO COOL~!" to "huh, that's... kinda weird. And Sus. Weird Sus. Maybe nothing... oh! A distraction!" To "okay, this KEEPS happening, that was shady. You all saw that right? You realize that's not NORMAL, right? That that's fucked up? Not cool?" To "oh god, oh God, OH GOD! I'm in HELL! This is actually HELL! I'm trapped in HELL!!! WHAT THE FUC-"

Like? This kid LOVES space. LOVES the stars. And this is one of the few Superhero Cannon that SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS that IN CANNON? Thanks to Quirks? As in Superpowers? That VERY THING got fuckin SCRAPPED. Gutted. Consigned to be a relic of the past so they could all focus on punching each other Real Good.

He would weep BLOOD. Chew the WALLS. The LEVEL of unhinged this child would unleash? Not as Danny Phantom... but as DANNY J. FENTON? Beautiful. Vaguely psychotic. Definitely doing the Fenton Name proud. God, the NOISE HE WOULD MAKE would be inhuman and yet somehow? Come entirely from his human half.

They👏 Would👏 Hear👏 BOSS👏 MUSIC👏

I don't even know if he'd CARE about the main characters. They'd be tangential at best. The man would be in a one man war with I-Island over their lack of space program and hoarding of scientific progress. Probably living out of an abandoned building or forgotten subway station. Just? The MOST bedraggled, feral genius to ever haunt Japan.

As opposed to the REFINED feral genius. Who is Nedzu.

I bet Danny stands outside his school at one AM waving his scientific papers at a camera and YELLS. Like a deranged lunatic. Mismatched slippers and a "haven't slept in a week" crazed glint in his eyes.

He's Nedzu's new best friend. They GET each other.

And, yes, Nedzu COULD let him in... but it's faster to just let him yell and read the papers through the camera. Who CARES if they both seem insane! Let's shout about advanced physics and engineering at 1 am! Over the speakers!!! Oh? You need to physically SHOW me the notes? Well I COULD unlock the gates... OR just wait for you to finish scrambling up the walls like a feral Racoon, to then throw yourself OVER them.

Either, Or.

I'm just SAYING! We are SLEEPING on this! There is so, SO much fun to be had! Danny breaks rules and minds! His outrage over injustice and the complete lack of SPACE! His protection instincts going BUCK FUCKIN WILD. The INDESCRIBABLE hate boner he would have for Mr. "Lemme just rip parts of your soul out so I can collect your powers like pokemon cards" AfO.

There? Is SO MUCH, guys. SO MUCH!
