Prompt 328
Partially Inspired by This Post but hear me out, Ancient of Space Danny. With his clone kids. All of his clone kids. Who have made their own friends with some local planets and heroes and otherwise.
Planets, you ask? Why yes. See most of them? Very much also space-themed in the core department. Some are Stars, some Suns, some Moons, a few Black Holes and others of the Void. Some have even decided to play hero or villain or otherwise.
Now, Danny isn’t the ghost king, but? He does still have a lot of connections, which means that when a portal opens, ghostlings are usually sent off to, well, for lack of better term, his yard to play. And the Realms’ time is rather untethered to any specific world.
So what happens when it’s time to bring them home for dinner?

it is all chaos and entropy. the thing is that the chaos and entropy make it beautiful and lovely.
yes, it's true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is terrifying. i have lived through some of the unfairness - i got born like this, with my body caving into itself, with this ironic love of dance when i sometimes can't stand up for longer than 15 minutes. i am a poet with hands that are slowly shutting down - i can't hold a pen some days. recently i found a dead bird on our front porch. she had no visible injuries. she had just died, the way things die sometimes.
it is also true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is wonderful. the sheer happenstance that makes rain turn into a rainbow. the impossible coincidence of finding your best friend. i have made so many mistakes and i have let myself down and i have harmed other people by accident. nature moves anyway. on the worst day of my life she delivers me an orange juice sunset, as if she is saying try again tomorrow.
how vast and unknowing the universe! how small we are! isn't that lovely. the universe has given us flowers and harp strings and the shape of clouds. how massive our lives are in comparison to a grasshopper. the world so bright, still undiscovered. even after 30 years of being on this earth, i learned about a new type of animal today: the dhole.
chance echoing in my life like a harmony between two people talking. do you think you and i, living in different worlds but connected through the internet - do you think we've ever seen the same butterfly? they migrate thousands of miles. it's possible, right?
how beautiful the ways we fill the vastness of space. i love that when large amounts of people are applauding in a room, they all start clapping at the same time. i love that the ocean reminds us of our mother's heartbeat. i love that out of all the colors, chlorophyll chose green. i love the coincidences. i love the places where science says i don't know, but it just happens.
"the universe doesn't care about you!" oh, i know. that's okay. i care about the universe. i will put my big stupid heart out into it and watch the universe feast on it. it is not painful. it is strange - the more love you pour into the unfeeling world, the more it feels the world loves you in return. i know it's confirmation bias. i think i'm okay if my proof of kindness is just my own body and my own spirit.
i buried the bird from our porch deep in the woods. that same day, an old friend reaches out to me and says i miss you. wherever you go, no matter how bad it gets - you try to do good.

Had to be present in yet another conversation where cis women were discussing the man vs bear thing, and I couldn't say anything about it to them because they do not react well to men having opinions on "man vs bear" so I am addressing their argument on tumblr dot com instead.
"Men are more of a danger to women than bears- the number of men who kill/attack women each year is way higher than the number of bears who kill/attack people each year."
Okay? Those statistics don't prove what you want them to prove. Obviously the numbers are higher for violence against women from men versus violence against people from bears- Women encounter men more often than people encounter bears. A lower number for people killed/attacked annually doesn't make something safer. In 2022, there were fewer deaths by firearms (20,138, excluding suicides) than deaths in motor vehicle traffic crashes (42,514) and I still feel a hell of a lot safer in a car than I would around a person with a gun.
Also, that disregards the fact that, when women are attacked by a man, it's most commonly someone that the woman knows, not a random person in a forest. 12% of female murder victims were murdered by a stranger, and 12.1% of female rape victims were raped by a stranger. An intimate partner is more likely to be a threat than a stranger in the forest.
Also, if we're talking odds- in the event that both the man and the bear would be aggressive, I think your chances of outrunning or fighting a man are significantly better than your chances of outrunning or fighting a bear.
Idk it just pisses me off that people are trying to get data to support their idea that it would be safer to be around a literal fucking bear than a human person who happens to be male. I can't stop anyone from choosing bear over man in this scenario, but that decision isn't based on facts and statistics, it's based on fear and gender essentialism.
