You've got so much to learn

[ruporas]

and together we set out on a journey to find treasure! (id in alt)

I find the fact that the confrontation at the end of UTRH is often summarized as Jason asking Bruce to kill the Joker for him fascinating.

Because that's not what happened.

Jason holds a gun up to Joker's head, gives Bruce another, and tells him that if Bruce doesn't do something (shoot Jason), he will kill Joker.

Jason doesn't give the gun to Bruce so that he would shoot Joker. He isn't expecting Bruce to pull the trigger on the clown. He's asking Bruce to do nothing. To be inactive. Because that will still be a choice, and despite having done nothing, everybody clearly agrees that Bruce would still, at least in part, be responsible for Joker's death.

...And to me, this moment is a kind of- microcosm, of the rest of Jason's point. Because after being captured and carted off to Arkham, the villain will escape again, and will kill more people. The only way to truly prevent that from happening would be to kill them; Bruce refuses to do so, and I respect his right to choose such a thing for himself, but it is still a choice, and if we agree that Bruce's inaction during the confrontation would leave him at least partly responsible for the Joker's death, then we must also agree that his inaction in permanently preventing the Rogues from killing more people means he is also, partly, responsible for all of those deaths.

Hi! I just wanted to know if in the following days to come if mychael would follow more intense Yandere traits or instead mellow more out?

Hello! I feel like I ramble a bit here for such a simple question, but for those interested, spoilers under cut!

I've teased in asks before he will get intense as the story progresses, though for the sake of managing expectations, don't expect him to go all out just because it's Day 4.

Initially, I've considered multiple routes and endings for the next update, and by endings I mean True Bad Endings, but I might push them back so the pacing of the story doesn't feel jarring. Plus it lightens my load of writing multiple branches, something I always wanna avoid so I don't complicate things for myself.

I just feel that between the five sundowns after they separated at the end of Day 3 it'd be enough time for him to sort through his thoughts and come to a conclusion on how he feels. Nothing drastic, but there's definitely something that changed in him if that makes sense.

So while he's not fully unhinged (the door still functions so to speak), he's definitely growing loose,,,, I started out with the intent of writing a slow burn and I'd be remiss if I mess that up!

A couple of details from this update:

Firstly, it might be a coincidence, but He Tian is touching exactly where he pierced Mo's ear. He might be checking it to see if Mo kept using piercings there/kept that bond between them even after he left.

Secondly, Mo both loves He Tian (and thinks it's a dream so he can freely express it) and loves to hold onto things when he's drunk, so now instead of hugging a bottle he switched to hugging HT, which I think is a super sweet variation of this drunk quirk of his.

I'm sure Mgs is holding Ht tight and not letting go until he wakes up sober.

Howdy @hdgnj & @radiance1 would it be alright if hypothetically a new thread was started? I'm starting to feel bad for the people trying to get through the pages of text on our blogs lol. HDNJ Reblog | RADIANCE Reblog

[I also understand if you would prefer just continuing from the initial thread]

So no matter what happens, it's pretty much agreed upon that the two need help. Along with the fact that they really can't just be left to wander, no matter how well they were doing.

(Bruce is having flashbacks to walking into Tim's stalker-shrine room when they look through the toddler's notebook) Because like, Match was pretty much live. A lot of people saw him, and a lot more will continue, so it's not even close to being safe. For all they knew? Cadmus might've thought they had died since they were already deemed failures. But now everyone in the knows not only is at least one alive, but nearly fought Superman to a standstill.

Probably could've if not for the fact that they're a half-starved teen- though the half-feral part probably helped with the can't predict what the Duck attack is going to be next.

(I wanna add more but if idk which to do if we go to the thread lol) (Also hi if ur just finding this, idk if it'll go anywhere but welcome to Radiance's prompt of tiny SuperWonder clone Danny)

This has been an absolutely horrible couple weeks for the Jewish and Israeli community, so I want to throw in at least a tiny bit of hope in here. Amina Hassouna, the Bedouin girl who was severely hurt in Iran’s missile attacks, has been recovering well and seems to be in good condition! She is described as being ‘fully conscious’ and ‘communicating and smiling’. Two bomb shelters have been placed in Al-Fura, the town that she and her family are from, as well.

For a friend

[cardboardmoon]

You know what would be really funny?

If agent Fowler or Silas worked with Dot during her military years. Only to accidentally meet when she gained robot children.

Holy shit you’re right

It’s gonna be the most awkward thing ever. When Dot and Fowler meet they’re gonna be all “hey Dorothy I remember you from the ground assault! It’s good to see you again! Anyway your kids are kinda in government custody after permanently screwing up interplanetary politics. We need to keep this on the down low or else the aliens are gonna start forming cults around your children. No, don’t worry, they’re fine right now. You have four children now though.”

I turned off guest comments on a fic I’ve been working on. Im sorry if you’ve genuinely enjoyed what I write and no longer can leave a comment, but I highly recommend making an AO3 account regardless.

Anyway, here’s what I did so:

Considering the fake-out praise at the beginning, this was clearly meant to get under my skin.

I cannot stress enough how immature, disrespectful, and rude it is to do something like this. I don’t care if I’m writing the most incoherent and amateur story on earth, this would STILL be inappropriate. I mentioned in the endnote of this chapter that I recently had a severe RSD spiral and was overall doing extremely unwell, and this person did not care and/or saw that as an opportunity to beat me while I’m down. Fantastic.

Anyway, fic writers such as myself are doing this for free, for fun, and do not owe you anything. If you don’t like what you’re reading, just stop reading it or write what you want to read. It’s that fucking simple.

I’m honestly uncomfortable knowing this person is lurking because spending hundreds of hours of my life on a project that I’ve legitimately lost sleep over and treated as a part time job is not worth this amount of anxiety. Im not going to discontinue or lock this story, but I’m pretty upset and disappointed people out there are like this.

Please don’t be this person, and if you’re a fic writer and anyone does this, don’t engage.

EDIT: I’m aware that this comment was a bot, I realized that a bit after posting this. The timing just was very coincidental with another comment that /was/ a person, and it threw me off. Thank you for all the support and advise y’all!

SCREAMING CRYING SOBBING COUGHING UP BLOOD-

NO ONE GETS BOOTHILL LIKE DAN HENG GETS BOOTHILL

I was so horribly, deeply enamored by this line-

Fun extra bonus:

because not only does it bring up once again that Dan Heng is uniquely capable of seeing Boothill past all his posturing and showboating, that he can peer straight down into Boothill's core and so easily decipher who he is and what he stands for and read the methods behind his madness where so few others seem able to, but it also means that reticent, no-small-talk Dan Heng talks about Boothill to other people-

that I switched my game to the original Chinese text to see what would translate through. And.

forbidden fruit au but throw some time travel into the mix where future ff!reader ends up in the past. when you first see your older self, you’re pleasantly surprised and in awe. and no, it’s not bc of the air of confidence she carries that you seem to lack in your current teenage years or her beautiful hair and not even that body really — it is the way she can hold a conversation with gojo… anddd also the huge and gigantic rock on her finger. future you is married? to who?! is that why she’s no longer even a bit nervous around gojo? because she’s married? oh my god, is it gojo? you needed to know. you needed confirmation that you had the man you’ve always wanted. older cooler future you doesn’t even give you a hint at who it could be despite your questioning after you pull her to the side. if anything, she finds you highly amusing and just smiles. it irks you, especially when she seems to have your gojo wrapped around her finger. you’ve never actually seen him be interested enough to hold long conversations with anyone besides you, and well … future you — but it isn’t the same! you feel like you’re a third wheel at this point. she seriously needs to back off!
