A Persuasive Argument - dpxdc

"Great!" Danny says, clapping his hands together to get everyone's attention. The dinner table falls silent as everyone looks towards him. It's a full house today and, honestly, Danny's a little nervous. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I gathered you here today."

"It's dinnertime. In our house." Duke mutters, while doing a very bad job of concealing his yawn. He holds his fork poised over the braised beef, but, just like everyone else, still looks towards Danny before tucking in. It's intriguing enough to wait.

"Yeah, no one misses Alfie's dinner." Dick says, with a brilliant smile that Danny can't help but return.

"Precisely! What better time to talk to you all than when you're all actually here!"

"Wait, I thought you came round to work on our English essays?" Tim asks, blinking owlishly.

"I'm afraid I've lured you here under false pretences, Tim."

"This is where I live."

"I would still really appreciate help on that essay though, I mean, what the hell is Hamlet even about? I just don't get that old time-y language, like 'Hark! A ghost hath killed me!' - absolute rubbish, what does that even mean?"

"The ghost never kills anyone in Hamlet, he's there to tell Hamlet that he was murdered. Have you actually read it?"

"No, but it sounds like you have. Tim, I want this guy to help me with my essay instead. I know for a fact that you haven't read Hamlet, either."

"So? We don't need Jason, I've read the Sparknotes."

"Hi Jason, I'm Danny, pleasure to meet you, summarise Hamlet in three sentences or less."

"Am I auditioning to help you write your essays? I can't believe you’ve gone through your whole school life without reading it, it’s good!"

"Hamlet, along with a number of other classics, was banned in our house because it portrayed ghosts as intelligent and sympathetic beings rather than evil, animalistic beasts. I didn’t even get to see The Muppet's Christmas Carol until last year with Tim! It was surprisingly good, and I hate Christmas because everyone always argued and it sucked. But we're getting off topic. I—"

"No, no, please go back to that, because what the fu—"

"Boys, please." Bruce interrupts, looking to the world as if he wants to hang his head in his hands. "Danny, you were about to say something?"

"Oh, yeah, Mr. Wayne! Thanks!"

"Please, call me Bruce."

"Well, that very succinctly brings me to my point, because I'd actually really like to call you dad."

Nobody says a word. Nobody even blinks, all as shocked as the other, watching open-mouthed as Danny pulls his laptop out from beside his chair. Bruce can definitely feel a headache coming on.

"Before you say anything, I've prepared a 69 slide PowerPoint presentation on why you, Bruce Wayne, should adopt me, Danny Last-Name-Pending. Please save your questions, comments, and verdict until the end, thank you."

Hello ❢

Your artstyle is stunning. If you still take voice synth art requests, may I suggest Nekomura Iroha ? She has a bunch of really cute designs to pick too, although my favorite is her original design with the speaker arms.

Have a nice day ❢

#25 Nekomura Iroha also, thank you a lot ( 〃▽〃)

What little do you have to your name?

Seen a few people too many discuss the concept of Dragodile Baby 2 and my hot take is that there's no way in hell Crocodile would ever detransition just to go through nine months of horrible dysphoria again, let alone go through pregnancy ever again (or allow Ivankov to even touch him, what if they died and weren't able to trans Croc's gender again afterwards? Hell naw, ain't worth the risk)

But this leaves an opportunity for a Funnier Option:

Dragon wants another baby? Sure, but it's his turn to carry it >:)

I didn't know Katara also had silver marks on the Kintsugi AU. How did you come up with that idea? Is it an in-universe cultural thing? If it is, is it exactly the same as Zuko's or does the Water Tribe have their own beliefs around it?

Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I just really love how your mind works when it comes to these AUs 💖

Hello, and thanks for asking!

Initially, Kintsugi was a strictly Fire Nation tradition. Something to hold over the rest of the nations, and deepen their own belief of cultural superiority. Zuko hiding his scars played into that idea, since having gold inlaid in your body is a clear sign of Fire Nation blood—furthermore, High Fire Nation blood.

That being said, one lovely anon gave the suggestion that perhaps the other nations also have their own kinds of Kintsugi, and I fell in love with the idea. @ican-fixitbooks went even deeper into the particular philosophies of each nation regarding Kintsugi. I'll be using some quotes from them—watch for the italics.

It was during said brainstorming session that I thought of Katara having a silver Kintsugi scar, and how could it be used to enhance the themes of ATLA, Katara's arc, and this AU as a whole.

But a little background is necessary, I believe.

Kintsugi is a tradition practiced worldwide, with minor differences in philosophy/technique according to each nation.

The Earth Kingdom seal their scars with a substance that resembles bronze, as the mentality of breaking yourself down to build yourself back up better than you were is very central to their culture. It is used as a way to celebrate one's victories, made all the better if damage was taken to achieve it.

The elite have rather different views on this practice. They believe themselves to be above such things. That which is broken must be hidden away, which has interesting connotations when thinking about a certain blind earthbender.

The Air Nomad philosophy leans towards a naturalist approach. Anything natural doesn't need to be "improved" in their eyes. If a scar is there, it is there. Let it be there as a part of you, no different than any other, no need to be "made better", but in fact better to just "be".

Kintsugi is a cultural practice meant to celebrate making something beautiful out of something broken, arguably even making it better than it was. During Sozin's reign and forward, Kintsugi became a way to show the Fire Nation's superiority. Especially as that is essentially their philosophy for war: "Breaking the rest of the world so it can be reforged in fire, made a better, more perfect place."

As for the Water Tribes, there's the healing factor to take into account. The Northern Water Tribe isolated itself from the rest of the world once the war began, so they hold tight to their traditions and beliefs. If something is not broken, then why attempt to fix it? Kintsugi is scoffed at in the North—it is a foreign practice, one that is not necessary when all your wounds can be healed with bending.

However, the Southern Water Tribe has been exposed to the world. They have seen war. They have lived through it. They have suffered, but they are also free because of it, if only in spirit. The South is strong and proud and bold, so it comes as no surprise that silver Kintsugi becomes the mark of their warriors, their hunters, their people.

Katara was wounded during the last Southern Raid. After losing Kya in such a terrible way, Hakoda made sure to seal Katara's wound with the silver of their warriors, so that she would always remember that despite having been broken, she is still strong, beautiful, and proud.

The scar itself is long and thin, going from her right shoulder up to her jaw. It loosely resembles lightning.

And despite how she got it, despite all the things she lost on that day, despite it being a constant reminder of her mother's death—Katara loves her scar.

It grounds her. It pushes her forward. You are a warrior, it tells her. You are a survivor.

When Katara arrives at the North, her scar becomes yet another thing the Northerners hold against her. They use it to demean her, just as they do her gender and out-spoken personality.

The North believes a lot of things that Katara always considered natural to be a problem. What does it matter that she is a woman? What is wrong about being passionate? Why should having a scar mean she's broken?

This scar is something they cannot touch. The Northerners try to use it to demean her. To make her small. Self-conscious. Worthless.

They're scoffing at her mother's death.

Her strength.

Her beauty.

Her pride.

Her story.

And she will not allow it.

Alright since all of us Ben fans are still recovering from our lamentable defeat, and I thought this might be funny, I would like to humbly suggest to you all some of my own means of dealing which are working thus far, as well as a couple other things that have come to mind 🙂‍↕️

SELF-CARE FOR THE BENJI TALLMADGE TRUTHERS:

- Light a candle. Just do it. :))

- Unplug! Unwind! As @culperscomet suggested here, reconnect with nature!! (Though I am not advocating for the full-on “lay down and let the earth reclaim you” approach here 🤠)

- Do some Ben-inspired moodboards & collaging

- Draw a warm bath Mary Woodhull style, but just relax in lieu of shooting anybody in the ear

- Similarly, should you find yourself near a body of water, visit it, look at it, enjoy the wAvEs, though I doubt any of your respective bodies of water look as blue as Ben’s eyes, do they?

- TREAT 🤪 YOURSELF 🤪 ( interpret that however you want)

- Bask in Seth pictures… they can improve everything

- Which leads me to my next point, actually rewatch some Turn to properly appreciate his beauty some more, if you require any suggestions the first episode that comes to me is S1E2 (Who By Fire), in which Ben is absolutely gorgeous; although he’s having dinner with Simcoe who looks like a feral poodle at the time, even on my first watch of the show that scene had me losing it because god. I wanna be under that table. Don’t you? Ben is delicious.

To some of my fellow Ben fans who I have briefly discussed this with: @honorhearted @culperscomet @cacaobeans

We will cope. We are coping. ☺️

The next moon for coyoteclan is gonna be a long one as I'm also doing part 2 of the prologue, so in the meantime bc it might take me a few days to work on it, have my favorite canon cat, Yellowfang :)

might also consider doodling a couple of other cats from other clangen blogs for whenever I get tired of drawing the same cats over and over so... feel free to suggest some of your faves and I might throw em in a queue so I can draw them later on :)

Here's a couple more versions of this piece under the cut bc I love them all

I love her so so much none of these cats made me cry harder <33 if it isn't obvious I stole her colors from the official cover art bc it's my favorite image of her

she's not meant to be sad in this art btw she just looks like that. resting sad face

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

thinking priest!geto thoughts again :(((

you’re both a little rotten . it’s a stench that sticks to your skin and you can smell it off each other. there’s a certain kind of bond that only blooms between people who know the each other’s smile is fake, you know? and there’s a kind of trauma that lingers and rots and sticks to your bones and you can hide it with layers of clothing or heavy robes but people who have felt it themselves will always spot the signs . do you see what i’m saying. there’s something special between you when he says he loves his god and you know that he’s lying. there’s something special when you say you couldn’t care less if god thinks you’re sinful and he knows that you’re lying . because you can both smell it off each other. the sickening rot .

Dear followers...and sweet strangers..i need a lil "help"

I'm not a kind of person who is comfortable with sharing personal information, but...

The last few months have been the worst time in my entire life, and I'm not exaggerating.

Severe physical health problems in combination with a diagnosed mental condition (which I was battling for the last 8 years), plus fear of losing my only family member due to a serious disease, and on top of that, job problems. All of that put me in a "vegetative state."

The only thing that gives me a tiny bit of hope and joy in life is art, and it's really hard to be inspired in these f~ up conditions.

But I don't want to give up. I love drawing, and I need inspiration so badly right now. 

My fav things to draw are lil items (food, flowers, jems, mushrooms, trinkets etc). But because of my mental state, it's really hard for me to make decisions even about what to draw.

Can you please suggest anything you want me to draw, something simple or not, anything really...🍊 I need purpose and motivation, and I want to make people happy even if I can't be.
