thinking about travelling-with-the-party loop doing things habitually without realising how deeply suspicious they are

DPxDC snippet/prompt:

-

“John.”

Zantanna’s voice had that cadence to it. Faintly strangled. Forcibly calm. Her rising blood pressure and rapidly approaching limit for his special brand of excitement evident in every single letter of his name.

Felt like old times.

“Z.” He said, smoke curling out of his mouth and billowing towards the dreary grey sky above. The one nice thing about Gotham, it had the same gloomy dark ambience of ol’ London town. “Long time no see. How’s show biz been treating you?”

He saw the faintest of twitches at the corner of her eye. Could almost hear her counting to ten in her head. He smiled at her winningly, leaning back against the damp bricks of the alleyway as he waited. More smoke drifted upward from beside him in time with a bored sigh. Patience was running out on all sides it seemed.

“That’s a child.”

“Sharp as ever.” He said, taking another drag. He nudged the child in question beside him gently with his elbow, glancing down with a sly grin. “See this is why the Justice League pay her the big bucks. Nothing gets past our Zantanna Zatara.”

He got a cloud of smoke blown directly in his face for that, little shit.

“John.”

“Z.”

“Why do you have a child? Why is the child smoking?”

“Long story.” He said with a wave of his hand.

“I learned it from watching him.” The kid said, with the same cadence as that old American commercial. All dramatic and overwrought emotion. The gremlin swooned against John's side in an imitation of collapse, hand holding the lit bifter coming up to their forhead to really sell the melodrama. He nudged his ghostly companion off, grinning at Zantanna’s slipping patience as he did.

“Don’t worry about it. Kid's fine.”

“A child wandering around with you in a dark ally in Gotham smoking cigarettes is fine?”

“I mean, I’m already dead. And short. It’s not like smoking is gonna be able to do any worse to me.”

walk with me... “you’re the one holding the knife” ... what if i said that shauna was always the more powerful one in the relationship? on one level because even back in the high school world all of jackie’s “successes” were hollow. her captaincy is undermined by tai and shauna scheming behind her back. her best friend feels stifled by her and secretly resents her. her picture perfect boyfriend has been fucking the aforementioned best friend on the down low. and what’s the common factor? SHAUNA. shauna is the literal shadow agent who is actually living out jackie’s successes. (of course, they’re kind of hollow successes for shauna too, cause pretty much all of them blow up in her face eventually. but still, it’s about jackie thinking those successes belong to her when shauna is actually benefiting from them)

and then there’s this whole other level that’s just between the two of them and relates to their power struggles specifically. at first glance it looks like jackie is in charge and shauna is just at the mercy of her whims. the classic popular girl and dorky sidekick dynamic. but if you look a little closer it becomes so obvious how dreadfully insecure jackie is and how totally devoted to shauna she is. what if jackie actually envies shauna more than shauna envies jackie? what if jackie would do anything shauna asks of her because she loves her that much? what if shauna is actually the leader and jackie is the follower? what if shauna was always the one holding the knife?

Wolfdog: I will kill them.

Hotch, sighing and taking him by his shoulders, pushing gently to lead wolfdog away: You will not kill anyone, you will sit down and have a cup of coffee and a muffin.

Wolfdog muttering: I don't want your stupid muffin

(But he follows along anyway because what else would he do?)

the dichotomy of arikenny is some days i wake up to them carrying me piggyback up a mountain trail and telling me they have a surprise (they’re gonna show me the fireworks :3) but other days i wake up in the middle of the woods with my hands tied behind my back and a note on the ground next to me that just says run <3 . and i just have to deal with that

Posting some mini art tutorials while I work on some bigger projects.

First we have Darceus Alamastern, created by @toothpastecanyon in Unto Dust

And last (but not least) we have Nxlar the Antithetical, made by @gnomewithalaptop in Transcendence AU dash simulator and also appeared in The Comfort of Agony chapter 8

Btw I have no idea if it’s known about in the wider fandom, but there’s a sizable amount of riddler-centric fics on AO3 where he adopts Steph after he kills/otherwise maims her father. There isn’t a point to this I just thought you all should know about it

another thing i love -- her teeth aren't 'perfect', even though she could probably shapeshift them to be!

So Mangle's my favorite FNaF animatronic/ character (withered Bonnie being second)

while a big part of that is just that I adore their design and how messed up they look, for mangle specifically it's the backstory that makes me love them even more.

Now, I am NOT as familiar with the actual FNaF lore as I used to be when I was 11, but Mangle got "destroyed" by kids which is, you know, pretty sad. Back when I was 11 the most popular way this was talked /theorized about is that some demon kids just straight up decided to do this to mangle just because they could.

And that is cool and all

but personally, I am much more fond of the idea of this being a type of “love changes” situation. You all know that set of pictures with the stuffed bunny, right?

Basically that. The kids, that came to Mangle's cove, just had some fun trying to play with mangle and, of course, the kids will play intensely with toys, they like a lot.

So when mangle just kept getting more and more disheveled and broken, the kids no longer saw the appeal and/ or were scared because she looked so different.

The idea here being

the tragedy of Mangle being changed against her will and forgotten about or being left behind is all good, but the idea of Mangle loving the kids just as much and also having fun ,but being changed anyway and THEN discarded is actually my favorite thing ever, and I need to draw that.

Just imagine you bond with these kids, and you're okay with them drawing on you or literally removing your limbs and just one day they don't show up anymore, and it isn't your fault at all but THEIRS and you can do absolutely nothing about it, and you just have to sit and think about this every single day while you're all alone in the backroom of the pizzeria.  (okay, lots of "and"s here) Imagine seeing one of the kids that used to play with you look at you nervously and be scared when you wave to them and back away or hide behind their parents- I am crying OMG Mangle must've been so devastated YOU SEE WHERE I'M COMING FROM, THOUGH, RIGHT?! JUST OMG THE LOVE CHANGES PEOPLE THING BEING AN ACTUAL PHYSICAL EFFECT YOU CAN SEE AND THAT EFFECT LEADING TO PEOPLE LEAVING YOU I JUST- RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (additionally, I don't think Mangle ever started hating the kids for doing this. I think she was just very sad that they no longer wanted to play with her at all, no visitors etc.) The best possible outcome for this post is somebody informs me this is actually cannon and I just straight up did not know /hj
