DP AU where the box ghost is actually someone from the future that came back as a ghost to try and warn Danny before all the major battles. The problem is that ghosts are mostly ruled by emotions and since he isn't directly connected to all the battles as they happened, his memories get fuzzy at best so whenever he warns Danny, it's either because there's about to be a world ending event or because someone's cat got stuck on a tree (and anything in between)

So when Danny joins the JL as Phantom they ask him about his rogue gallery. He tells them all about the ancients he fought and skulker and the GIW, even his parents, though he only says they were mad scientists with a huge bias.

And then, after he tells them about the "plasmius incident" they ask whether he thinks Vlad is the one that's caused him most trouble and Danny goes quiet for a bit and looks thoughtful for way too long before saying in a quiet voice "no, that's actually the box ghost. He's always warning me about something. It's terrifying"

The JL are concerned. What could be worse than all the Eldritch terrors Danny has described? They try to ask for details but whenever they bring the topic, Danny gets this lost stare and goes silent until they change the topic or snap him out of it. It's kind of unsettling. So they leave it be. Even Batman doesn't push it (he would rather not traumatize the kid more, thank you very much, he's also wondering if he can adopt someone that's technically dead, asking for a friend).

And then the box ghost shows up at the watchtower. They all come running when they hear the ominous "Beware". Batman activates all the alerts. Boxy just throws a box at him, then leaves. Batman calls for a meeting, most of the heroes were already in the watchtower anyway, he describes the incident to phantom.

Danny: ah, that was just his way of saying hi. I guess he wants to start haunting you too. Should be fun :)

Batman: hn

The JL: ?!?

Danny: Don't worry, I'll ask him to be nicer next time :)

Flash: was that... Supposed to be terrifying? He just threw a box, right?

Danny: 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jiji's revenge

every once in a while I think about how Celehar is basically like a noir detective

[bad-tf-fic-ideas]

(261) Starscream gets transported somehow into the body of a rank and file Decepticon grunt. Meanwhile, a different Starscream from an alternative continuity takes over his role within the Decepticon army.

This is a fic in which Starscream gets to experience his own management style as a commanding officer. He sees the ways in which his personnel management is lacking, but does not take this as an opportunity to reflect upon his behaviour.

Instead of learning absolutely anything from this experience, Starscream decides that he has a new goal: assassinate that imposter Starscream and take his job.

The idea of Kipperlily mentioning Riz in counseling because she has a crush on him is so funny because she walked into school and picked the most unavailable and unpopular guy possible and said “him that’s who I like”

A group of Hobbits is called a herd

A group of Dwarves is called a pod

A group of Elves is called a dance

A group of Men is called a flock

A group of Orcs is called a nest

A group of Goblins is called a brood

A group of Wizards is called a problem

!!!STARDEW VALLEY UPDATE SPOILERS!!!

I think I need to retcon the origin story of the Grass Bomb Goblin due to the new weather anomaly.

Because let me tell you. The absolute maniacal glee I felt upon exiting my house and finding that it was RAINING GREEN AND A BAJILLION WEEDS HAD SPROUTED OVERNIGHT!!!

I was running around like a maniac grabbing fistfuls of weeds and chopping down giant ferns wherever I went!

Also I thought it was hilarious that Demetrius was out in a full hazmat suit and I'm just... standing there in my regular clothes lol.

With this new update, the Grass Bomb Goblin WILL be returning.

Also I just realized that the new farm type that I decided to try out is like the perfect environment for the Grass Bomb Goblin since it's like completely covered in grass.

Just slapped every rune I know of on a 2x4 wooden board. Gonna try hitting a goblin child to see what happens.

To explain The Goblin Problem and not go on a tag rant on someone else's reblog, I will explain it in the nutshell.

The Goblin Problem is when a story establishes a group of creatures to serve as recurrent antagonists (not necessarily all one species; in a lot of rpg games this can broadly apply to "monsters") THAT:

Are never negotiable, or the negotiable parties among them are Token Heroic Orcs- that is to say, they are seen as objectors or 'good' versions who have absolutely no connections to, and hold no objections toward you attacking, the rest of their brethren, who they have forsaken as the price to be paid for being good.

Have obvious unique technology; they may attack you with weapons found nowhere else in the game, demonstrate the ability to speak, have their own obvious language, tame a creature that nobody else tames so that it's thus impossible that they are stealing already-tamed specimens from someone else

Are characterized primarily or exclusively as raiders who attack others, with the justification this means they are inferior creatures parasitically dependent on Good, Civilized Settings, e.g. they cannot possibly be sustainably hunting, gathering, or practicing either nomadic or settled agriculture.

Are often defined as having no choice to be evil or are created by a greater evil to serve as thralls, and yet, will not under any circumstances be regarded as indoctrinated victims, or if that is mentioned, there will nonetheless be an overarching lack of narrative concern as to where or how the survivors should live after the greater evil is taken care of, or if effort should be made to challenge the indoctrination and give them the ability to choose their lives.

What this ultimately creates is that they are unambiguously people, who obviously check all the marks of sapience, who are quite possibly wearing clothes, but the goblin or orc exists as a stopgap. You want your fantasy hero to get into a swordfight but you don't want him to kill another human being. So you invent something that wields a sword but is in some way "not a person", which is senseless. Unless you want the nature of this swordfight to be that a chimpanzee picked up a knife, at which point they are not going to use reliable sword techniques.
