#Deflected

[dinosaurcharcuterie]

Me, trying to be sneaky about having a retirement gift in a separate, visible shopping bag in an office where everyone says good morning face to face before sitting down: Hey, N?

S, who made me fetch that gift: *visible, quiet, wide eyed panic*

Me, fully channeling my weird self: Do you like dinosaurs?

N, retiree-3 days, channeling full on office dad energy: No idea, I've never eaten any. Ho, ho, ho--

Me, whipping out a snack pack of dinosaur cookies: High time you tried.

And then I distributed the rest of the cookies to the other coworkers, with only S aware what the suspiciously rectangular shape at the bottom of the bag might be.

I can't stop crying

These thoughts

They keep flooding my mind

And I know those are the same ones

That made others take their life

And im so fucking terrified

Because I'm trying I really am

Unfathomably hard to stay alive

And yet I want to give up

And I don't know what to do

Other than cry and cry

Because I have already lost my will to scream

I just wish I didn't feel

Like i was drowning everytime

Someone asks me if I'm ok

And I just say yes .....

Because I don't want to be a burden

This knot in my throat

Won't let me speak

But they're also unwilling to listen

I don't know what else to do

But to cry and tell myself we will just try again

Hmmm, sound familiar? Trump was also asked to denounce white supremacy. Musk and Trump are two peas in a pod.

Bruce still does the tooth fairy thing for the kids.

The bats are constantly losing and having to replace their teeth. Because you don't get hit, kicked, and thrown on your face almost every other night and keep all your teeth.

So imagine early on when Duke first stays at the manor. He comes in saying how he was thrown into a car and lost a tooth on patrol.

They tell him to put it under his pillow for the tooth fairy. He laughs it off like , "OkaY, the tOotH fAirY."

The next morning at breakfast

Dick: "How much did you get?"

Duke: "Get what?"

Dick: "From the tooth fairy?"

Duke: "Oh, haha, right."

Steph: "?...Wait...Bruce?!"

Jason: "Why didn't he get anything??"

Bruce: "Don't ask me. The tooth fairy probably couldn't find it."

Duke: "You're not joking? You were serious about leaving my tooth?"

Tim: "Yeah, B always leaves money."

Bruce: "Untrue. The tooth fairy leaves money to children who lose a tooth. Not me."

Jason: "Yeah, whatever, anyway, make sure you let him or Alfred know when you lose a tooth and leave it out when you go to bed.

Bruce: "Alfred and I have no say in the tooth fairy's actions."

Tim: "We've caught him on camera, but he insists to deny."

Bruce: "Or perhaps you caught a clever disguse made to trick you?"

Dick: "... Just leave it out tonight, Duke."

Duke: "Okay, I guess I'll leave it out then?"

Bruce: "Somewhere the tooth fairy can find it easily, Is what I assume they would want."

Steph: "Smooth."

Damian *walking in*: "Father, thank you for the extra cash. This will go to the new treats I wanted to try for Batcow."

Bruce: "It wasn't me, thank the tooth fairy."

Damian: "... Yes, the tooth fairy. Thank you tooth fairy."

Bruce: "I think the tooth fairy appreciates that, Damian."

Everyone: *sigh*

(Cass is there the whole time casually eating because only Bruce knows that she sometimes will sneak in the rooms first to wait for him.)

Cass when Bruce finds her in the darkness of her sibling's rooms: "😃"

V1 finds a weird looking dog in hell

[ofswordsandpens]

its funny because Percy has been spiraling ever since pjo and whenever he has a particularly bad episode you have other characters actively worried about it and you think to yourself surely they're going to intervene, surely someone is going to talk to him about it, and then like no one ever does lol

someone please help me get this thing out of my head

SQQ who is fed up with YQY. Sqq just wanted to drop off his mission report to the sect leader and then go down the mountain and get some sleep, but noooooo, YQY has to throw himself a pity party because he doesn't trust sqq not to throw them down the path of mutual destruction by revealing the 'vaunted' sect leaders sordid past.

So he snaps.

He looks YQY dead in the eye and with no emotion says, "Kill Liu Qingge and all is forgiven and forgotten."

He'd assumed this would end the dramatics. He'd assumed that every time they started up again he could just say "You know what I want and it's not this priceless guqin."

He'd assumed wrong.

YQY goes quiet for only a moment, then he starts going through a pile of papers. "At the moment it doesn't look like there are any missions challenging enough to warrant sending him, let alone one he could feasibly die to. I could fabricate one, Shang-shidi is diligent about contacting clients for recompense in the event of death or catastrophe. It's likely better to wait for something to come up, but you've waited long enough; I can figure something out.

"Do you have an alibi for yourself already in mind or should I arrange something so that you're visibly on the mountain when I kill him?"

And more than the words themselves, but the calm, matter of fact tone YQY uses, the expression of "Ah yes a task I can do easily" as if murdering his martial brother is as mentally taxing as commissioning another fan.

Sqq realizes YQY is fundamentally wrong somehow.

He grabs him by the lapels. "What did they do to you? What did they do to you while I was stuck in hell?"

waiting for everyone to realise that all these links being made between the tiktok 'ban', and works of fiction such as 1984, are not just a funny coincidence.

it's because it's post-WWII media. all these pieces of fiction served as a reflection of nazi germany. and now you think it's 'uncanny' the way it all reflects the new trump presidency, just a day in.
