#being beaten up

[dinosaurswant2rule]

I originally started this story in 2021 for Whumptober, but have recently done an update so I thought I’d give it some love on Tumblr. 

@teddythecat1234 I hope this latest chapter wrecks you a little, I had a lot of fun writing it : D 

@panchostokes - the latest chapter might appeal to you :) 

@saplesss-tree - you write such good whump I’d love to know what you think ! 

Our favourite gang of heroes has been captured and Murdoc forces Mac to make a horrible choice

Mac had his arms out to keep his balance as he stepped forward. Suddenly he was on the very edge of the rocks and was trying hard not to look down or fall. This wasn’t an easy feat under normal circumstances but burdened by handmade climbing gear on both his legs made this horrible task even more difficult.  He almost didn’t need to look at the forest floor below him, the air whistling below told him all he needed to.

“Come on MacGyver! Turn around so I can see your charming face”

So, Danny was effectively homeless.

His parents are dead, his sister is dead, his friends are dead. Hell, even Vlad, Vlad kicked the fucking bucket which, Danny genuinely never expected.

Vlad was supposed to be his nemesis, his main bad guy, the guy Danny's supposed to constantly pull everything out against just to win. Not to mention how significant his presence was.

A part of him assumed that Vlad would always be there and him not being there and knowing he won't be there ever again is... weird.

So you're probably asking, how exactly did this happen?

Well you see, the nasty burger exploded, for one thing. Then when he was under Vlad's care both of them got outed for being ghosts to the GIW, which was technically Danny's fault, since he did something extremely stupid.

Somehow they got caught, and life under the GIW was not great in the slightest. The constant experiments, the dehumanization (Sometimes Danny doesn't even register himself as human), the amount of times their feelings were utterly disregarded, and so, so much more.

The GIW found Vlad to be more dangerous than Danny, even if he lacked the raw power Danny had his intellect made him dangerous and for good reason. For it was because of said intellect that Danny managed to escape.

Vlad didn't manage to do the same.

Danny hated reliving that memory. Because Vlad was a villain, evil and self-serving, he shouldn't be sacrificing himself for his literal greatest enemy to escape in his stead (Not that Vlad would say Danny was his greatest, he would probably say it was the person who refused him to buy the packers). It was just, so utterly stupid and out of character for him.

So, Danny managed to escape, Vlad died. He couldn't even say anything about Dani because she got destabilized in front of him, in front of both of them actually. It hurt to watch and, he didn't quite know the specifics between Dani and Vlad anymore, but he thinks they were getting... better.

Not how it was when Dani was first created, but Vlad was working on mending it. Which, honestly, just makes everything worse.

Danny isn't powerless but it's a damn close thing. He's far weaker than he normally would be, and he's injured on top of that too boot, his powers can barely work and it's just so stupid.

So here he was, hiding out in some random sewer because he didn't want to take the risk of being on the surface and he hates the smell, but he'll take that over being experimented on again. So, Danny spends most of his time in the sewers of this place called Gotham, he even managed to make his own little area with a couch he stole and a few other appliances that were thrown out.

He lacked a Tv or laptop, but he found a yo-yo! Most of his time was spent practicing various tricks with his yo-yo.

It got boring fast. But it was really the only safe thing he could do when waiting for his powers to come back. At least he's a god at yo-yoing now.

It was while doing various tricks with it in some random sewer path, that a literal, goddamn crocodile-man just splashed up from sewer water and half-laid on the edge, since his lower body was still in the water.

Danny looked at his yo-yo, the crocodile, and then slowly stepped on over and gently poked the crocodile dude.

He made a sound, so he was alive!

Finally! Someone to appreciate his godly yo-yoing skills!

it's kind of baffling to me that entire sub-groups of queer folks endured a decade of being singled out and targeted for being asexual, aromantic, bisexual, pansexual, nonbinary, polyamorous, etc. and i have yet to see any substantial apologies from people who were directly responsible for causing genuine harm. i find it completely bizarre that there are so many people who want to sweep their past contributions to widespread lateral aggression toward specific queer groups under the rug like it didn't happen so they can wash their hands of it... there are people who are irreversibly traumatized because of this. there are people who took their lives because of it.

i'm wording the post like despite the fact that exclusionism targeting these groups (and more) continues to persist partly because it was a really frighteningly common trend to harass people just because they were ace, aro, bi, pan, nonbinary, poly, etc... and it's crazy to me that many of the people who were affected by this massive multi-pronged public online bullying campaign against the 'unacceptable types of queers' are the ones still receiving messages like "my url got put on an aphobe blocklist in 2016 because apparently a post i made making fun of asexuals got some teenage asexuals harassed and i still distrust asexuals to this day because of that" ...are you fucking kidding me?

we will never achieve any kind of unity as a queer community while we are insisting upon ignoring the hurt that lateral aggression has caused, and acting like the burden lies on the shoulders of the people who were harmed to forgive the people who harmed them and 'just move on', many of whom are not sorry for what they did! or they don't consider what they did to be wrong! how is that not deeply disturbing and troubling to more of you?

03/06/2024 edit: i’m putting a complete moratorium on this post because i am really sick and tired of having my point not only completely misconstrued and distorted entirely but also weaponized against transfems (particularly in replies i have decided to delete about how “ugh yes, exclusionism, and now transfems are bullying transmascs”) i find that really sickening and i’m demanding that it stop, and i can make it stop by turning off reblogs. so i have.

my objective in writing this post was never to request an apology from people who have been laterally-aggressive exclusionists in the past. i don’t think we’ll ever get more than a handful of apologies from those people, anyway. my point was that it was pretty terrifying to witness and experience a lot of lateral aggression that transferred from the real, in-person world to the deeply online spaces back into the real, in-person world in a really fucked up feedback loop and being a young queer person during this time and having that shape me, snd shape the experiences of my queer friends who have been traumatized by it.

however, it is absolutely unacceptable to me that the issue of transmisogyny is so blatantly overlooked by our entire community. for decades, transfems have experienced oppression and exclusion from transmisogyny-exempt women and queers. their exclusion from political queer liberation movements has caused many of the major schisms within our community we are still having arguments about to this day. if you want collective queer liberation, you must uplift transfems. there is no other option. you don’t get to write off all transfems just because one person who happened to be transfem was mean to you online or something.

i have answered and responded to way too many conspiracy-brained transmisogynist reactionaries to allow this post to keep fucking snowballing with people writing paragraphs in the tags about “transmisandry” or “transandrophobia.” please get your heads out of your asses.

this absolutely is the transmisogyny website, as always, and the place where all basic textual comprehension skills go to die, apparently.

I’m not done talking about Raph and Leo yet because you know what kills me? How the beginning of the movie with Raph very angry at Leo to the point of lashing out at him is paralleled with how the end of the movie has the Krang very, very angry at Leo and beating him horrifically.

Both Raph and the Krang are so much bigger than Leo, both have been very angry with him, and both deem him responsible for ruining their respective missions.

To make matters worse, Raph’s body was used to hurt Leo. So it’d make sense for Leo to just…flinch, sometimes. To have his body reflectively brace for a blow that will not come because Raph would see this and just be horrified. Their fights, their roughhousing, their existing together all have a newfound and unwanted extra layer to them.

And Raph? Raph is traumatized enough having been brainwashed the way he was, turned into a monster in a way he always dreads in general. To be made into the antithesis of a hero and instead be a villain’s pawn, made to hurt his own family…poor kid, to say the least.

Can’t imagine what it must feel like, the first time post invasion that Raph gets mad at Leo and they fall into their old dynamic only for Leo to see the Krang and for Raph to feel like he is the Krang.

other characters consider Laios handsome? And fallin?

I think they're considered average or above average? Falin has had at least two people with crushes on her (3 if you count music note as a gay crush) and Laios had girls talking about him plus the marriage seeker Asivia (though apparently she had crushes on everyone)

Marcille thinks Falin is pretty/cute and obviously toshiro does to

I don't remember anyone mentioning Laios' looks but Falin is described as having beautiful skin on the adventurer's bible

Whumptober Day 6: Do or die, you'll never make me; Because the world will never take my heart. [x] Recording | Made to Watch | ''It should have been me.''

I found out that it is Law's birthday today and the whumptober prompt of the day felt very targeted as well. Welcome to the Black Parade is a great song for him and I guess I show my love by drawing him covered in blood.

Au where Shen Jiu wasn't left all alone at the Qiu Household.

Where even if Qi-Ge abandoned him, there was this one younger servant who would always hide him when the Qiu Jianluo was hunting him down.

A younger boy who always knew when he was injured and would bandage them despite how many curses came from Shen Jiu's mouth.

A young boy who never left Shen Jiu alone, no matter how sharp his thorns were.

A younger boy who bared a striking resemblance to him, not enough for anyone to believe they were related, but just close enough that it made Shen Jiu looked twice.

A younger boy who seemed to always know what was going to happen, telling Shen Jiu one particularly random night to pack everything he valued and to run into the night away from the Qiu Household.

Shen Jiu agreed and so he took this younger servant by the arm and dragged him away, listening this boy not to follow the strange rogue cultivator and to instead go to the prestigious sect of Cang Qiong.

Shen Jiu reluctantly agreed and so he went there, showcasing his determination and being accepted in as he showed his prodigal skills. When the peaklord of Qing Jing met him, Shen Jiu made it loud and clear.

"I will not join without him."

The peaklord glanced at the pale and rather bland looking boy next to the prodigy he had just found. Why would such a prodigy risk joining Cang Qiong just for such a person?

"Who is he?" The Peaklord asked, an eyebrow raised as he narrowed his gaze.

The prodigy named Shen Jiu narrowed his gaze in return.

"His name is A-Yuan, and he is all I need."

Peter: We've known each other for a long time, right? I think you've learned to respect me

Tony: Eh, maybe a little

Peter: Well, get ready to stop

I like how NPMD makes the points:

1. The presence of bullying and social hierarchies don’t just hurt the victims and those lower in the hierarchy, but in fact everyone within the framework, and should be dismantled by any means necessary

2. The animosity and rivalry of jocks and nerds is ultimately a fabrication of those who wish to hurt others, and a healthy relationship between people with differing interests is both good morally and helpful for all parties

And 3. Given the slightest, even manufactured, excuse, the Police will immediately assault random people.

Writing updates

It occurs to me that I've done quite a lot of writing in August (good or not is a separate question)

Anyway here are the last four stories I updated in August. I've done my very best to tag these, apologies if I have missed anything and feel free to hit me up on here or AO3 if I've not tagged appropriately

Jack Dalton enters prison undercover to meet a young man raised in a cult to stop a notorious drug lord (yes it's based around that episode)

MacGyver is captured by the enemy in Pakistan, tortured and trapped he fights to survive (a nod to the pilot the pilot that never was from @dashboardonfire)

I wrote a short chapter on my first Good Omens fanfic! I'm so proud of myself!

MacGyver is rescued by Jack after being imprisoned for six months. When he returns his father refuses to acknowledge him, convinced that he isn't his son

An AU where Jack and MacGyver never met in Afghanistan. They find each other later when Dalton rescues Mac from Murdoc

So what in the genuine fuck is with Helluva Boss being unable to create a group of characters without there being a "kinder man/male with a strong conscience" that gets the shit kicked out of him for being caring. Ugly.

Best Sanlu trope is Luffy openly and enthusiastically declaring his affections for Sanji literally all the time but Sanji just. Doesn't get it. Either due to his own insecurities or the fact that he thinks Luffy's just being overly affectionate he brushes it off and when the rest of the crew are like hey. Can you stop ignoring Luffy's confession you're being really inconsiderate and we can tell he's upset and Sanji's like what? Huh?? What are you talking about?? And then Nami grabs him by the shoulders and she's like Sanji-kun. Look at me. What does Luffy tell you every morning when he sees you and Sanji goes "'Sanji I'm hungry make me breakfast'?" and Nami's like NO AFTER that and Sanji's like "Well then he usually says 'Sanji's the best I love Sanji the most!' And that's normally when I roll my eyes and go 'yeah yeah I know' but that's...just..." and Nami fucking STARES at him and he's like oh. Oh my god. Oh my FUCKING god he was SERIOUS?? THE ENTIRE TIME??? And the entire crew facepalms bc how fucking DENSE is this guy. PLEASE
