[ID: Two page comic in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. The first page has a black background and the upper half, behind the panels, is splattered with stylized red blood, scattered bullets, and lifeless hands. In the first panel, it focuses on Vash's boots, showing him stepping through the panel and into the bloody scene. The second panel shows his bloody footprints and the third panel shows his face, his down-turned eyes looking downwards. It's a neutral, vague expression with confliction. At the bottom of the page, the back of Wolfwood's head and shoulder is seen, blood dirtying the white color of his shirt and side of his face. Vash's hand reaches out to him from the right side of the page.

The second page shows the entire scene in full, half the page in light and the other in solid black. At the center, Vash leans down onto his knees as he wraps his arms around Wolfwood's shoulders into a hug. Wolfwood's back is turned away from the viewer, his left arm holds onto his bloodied punisher and his right hand sits on his lap. Light casts from the left side of the page, showing the bloodied surrounding, but the held up punisher casts a shadow on the both of them, shielding them from the light. END ID]

hi here are some out of context panels from deadpool vol. 5 in an attempt to induct all of y'all into the gerry duggan cult. *on my knees* please i am begging if you want to read the most extensive and depressing and well-written deadpool lore ever this is it folks

I simply don’t like when people act like what happened to Jack is what should have happened (as if the show didn’t deliberately spell out it would be Bad beforehand!), or like we can hand-wave GodJack as being fine and good in a continuation as long as other ~more important topics~ like destiel are eventually addressed.

Jack’s fate is the crux of the tragedy of the finale. Supernatural is a show about parents and children, and that cycle of violence remains unbroken. Jack was forced to become like his grandfather (the cosmic Father of the universe) because that’s who his fathers needed/wanted him to be. Jack shouldn’t be seen as an afterthought or a side note. He’s the thematic center that ties everything together, including the queer family structure of destiel.

So here’s my hot take: whether or not they go fully explicit with any kind of Chuck won concept (and they don’t necessarily have to)… any continuation must address that what happened to Jack isn’t a good thing — for him, for their family, or for the universe since the show stated God shouldn’t have personhood — in order to truly be fulfilling.

Summary:

No one on Qing Jing Peak was prepared for the change after Ning Yingying’s Shizun fell ill.

No one had known what to do when he fell ill for the first time, either. He had lain in the bamboo house for days, burning with the kind of fever that might kill a man if it lasted long enough; and then, on the fourth day, he went very still and cold, and his heartbeat grew so sluggish that Mu-shishu had to shock it back to life with his cultivation.

He opened his eyes on the morning of the fifth day: and against all odds, none of Shen Qingqiu’s disciples have heard a harsh word from him since.

Shortly after that, he went into seclusion in the Lingxi Caves—and not three months later, he fell ill again.

Or: after Sha Hualing's attack on Cang Qiong Mountain, Shen Qingqiu is left altered by Without a Cure in more ways than one.

Teecup….I have a new need that I must share.

Modern AU with Desmond and Clay as  BFF’s who do stupid shit. I’m thinking the pairing is AltDesEzi, and one day Altair and Ezio come home and hear some suspicious sounds coming from the bedroom.

Desmond said Clay was coming over…

They slam the door open, thinking they’re going to catch…something going on, already feeling mad and heartbroken…

Only to find Desmond with a controller in hand, and Clay screaming on the bed.

Desmond bought a ‘birthing simulator’, and Clay is not having a good time.

Desmond is having a fantastic time.

And they can tell, by the evil gleam in his big doe eyes, he’s going to try and put it on one of them next…

==============================================

Additions by teecup:

Desmond Miles was a strange man.

Born as the sheltered home-schooled son of William Miles, there were a lot of things he didn’t know. Ezio had only seen him a few times growing up. He always followed his father during those times and he could count with one hand how many times he had actually conversed with the sole child of the Miles.

His father had requested him to look after Desmond when they learned they were going to the same college. He figured it wouldn’t be too much of a hassle, considering how quiet Desmond Miles was.

Then college started and Ezio realized that Desmond was a magnet for trouble.

Trouble number one was Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad.

Okay, he and Altaïr had some kind of childish rivalry going on since they were in the same boarding school. It didn’t matter that Altaïr was a year older than him (and Desmond), they would always find a way to compete.

Sports.

Academic.

Extra-curricular activities.

It always felt like he was racing to catch up to Altaïr and pass him.

And every time he felt like he already did, Altaïr would be hot on his heels and already running pass him like it was the natural state of the world.

Federico once heard him complain about it and simply laughed it off.

Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad was the heir of Masyaf Corporations. Their banks deal with them regularly. If anything, Ezio was supposed to be kissing up to him.

Ezio refused and…

As they say, the rest was history.

Getting close to Desmond had been easy.

Learning that Desmond chose the same college as Ezio because Altaïr was studying there was annoying.

Learning Altaïr and Desmond were childhood friends, bordering on childhood sweetheart (if one could even imagine Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad having a sweetheart) made Ezio rethink his entire friendship with Desmond.

And then…

Things happened, feelings evolved, college was the time to experiment and learn one’s self and oh boy, did Ezio learn a lot.

He and Altaïr still can’t get along all that well but they manage to be cordial for Desmond’s sake.

They both entered a relationship with Desmond knowing about each other.

Their rivalry hit that stage where they are both trying to make Desmond happy while also half-trying to one up the other.

They graduate and started living together and then…

Trouble number two became Desmond’s roommate.

Look.

Ezio and Altaïr had both wanted Desmond to live with them.

Unfortunately, Altaïr and Ezio didn’t want to live with each other and Desmond thought it would be unfair if he was to live with either of them sooooo…

Desmond found an apartment and got a roommate.

Desmond worked as a bartender for some reason, his bio-engineering diploma gaining dust in the darkest part of his closet.

He did tell them that his mother told him he could join their research and development team any time he wanted but Desmond didn’t really want to.

Oh, it wasn’t because of nepotism. Desmond had no qualms with that.

“Aunt Juno’s a bitch to work with. I intern in their company, remember?”

So yeah, Desmond was willing to just let his college degree whither and die while working as a bartender.

Hence the need for a roommate to keep up with the bills (any offer to give him money for his bills were rejected but he allowed his boyfriends to treat him to food, gifts and homemade meals)

Clay Kaczmarek was chaos reincarnate.

He was a computer engineering graduate who freelances for the highest bidder.

Ezio was pretty sure said highest bidders were more on the side of ‘fuck capitalism’ but it wasn’t his place to judge as a child of old money.

Altaïr knew of him and that was saying a lot as Masyaf Corporations held more pies in the darker part of society that was considered a ‘gray area’ than most companies.

Clay was a good man.

But he was the worst enabler in Desmond’s small circle of friends and the two of them loses most of their braincells when they were together.

They get the dumbest ideas and follow through with them.

It was like they were both making up for Desmond’s quiet ‘obedient’ life as a child and then going one step further.

They’ve never been arrested though and Altaïr or Ezio never had to bail them out but, my god, they never get a head’s up whenever something stupid was about to happen.

So the two of them getting a birthing simulator?

Ezio was pretty sure it was because one of Desmond’s coworker was pregnant and that probably led to the two of them talking about pregnancy and what it would feel like.

Seeing Desmond smile at them sweetly but not bothering to cover up the evil gleam in his eyes…

Ezio was too in love with him to say no even as Clay’s pained screams continued because Desmond has yet to turn off the device in his hands.

So he simply patted Altaïr’s shoulder and grimly said…

“Rock, paper, scissors, best of three.”

Noah kahan covered ‘fine line’ at a music festival and it’s so singer Daniel au coded!! Max was for sure standing backstage recording him like a proud husband 🥺

anon you already KNOW max is in the wings with his iphone holding it with two hands intensely looking at the screen to make sure daniel is in the middle, whilst trying not to bop around too much so the recording is stable. at this point whenever fans find out max is in attendance it becomes a spotting game to find him and guess which song he's going to record like he's a cinematographer aiming for an oscar.

he's not only doing this at concerts, he's doing this at award shows. he's at the Grammy's at his little table with his iphone filming the whole thing. the other celebs next to him are very confused but they're not gonna say anything. does he know this is televised?

when daniel asks max why he records a new song every concert his attends (in his head he's just like you are literally the one person in the world who i would sing any song to you whenever you asked), max is like well of course i listen and watch the concert videos when we are apart and i can not call you because time zones so i play the videos so i feel like you are with me :) do you want to see my album daniel? i have tagged everything from the date of the concert to where you were and what song you were singing!

(daniel goes and fall in love with him for like the three hundredth time that day.)

[bonesbuckleup]

oh yes I’m so glad you’re working in jason v bruce conflict in LaH, LaW… makes the whole thing so much more interesting. I also hope “Mother Grayson” makes an appearance in the sequel:)

Part of why the sequel is so slow-going, honestly, is that Jason really took it over in a way I didn't anticipate. One of the main things that got me to write Like a Hinge in the first place was that I was really interested in how dynamics changed if I took away Tim's main drive to enter the story - "I have to save Batman" - and replaced it with something he's arguably terrible at - "I have to save myself."

That kind of canon preservation-plus-twisting is what's interesting me in the sequel too, just with Jason. Jason didn't die here, but those tensions with Bruce from pre-Ethiopia (coughcoughGarzonascoughcough) still happened. So how can I play in this sandbox I'm in, but still ask the great ethical questions that Red Hood and Batman represent. How can I tease out those themes and vibes in a way that fits in this verse: How far is too far? Where do vigilantes draw the line, if they draw it at all?

Anyway.

The other, less pretentious answer is that Tim Drake is a Batman fan third, a Robin fan second, and a Dick Grayson fan before all things. So Jason, who has spent the summer as the Cool Older Brother(tm), suddenly has to deal with not being the default favorite now that Dick's home. Dick has to find a spot to fit when his family all trauma-bonded with the weird neighbor kid while he was gone. Meanwhile Tim finally has enough energy to go full gremlin and cause problems on purpose.

ALL THIS TO SAY. While Jason and Bruce and the both of them finding their footing are a big part, the heart of the sequel will 100% about these three dinguses figuring out how to be brothers. There is so much Mother Grayson. Don't even worry about it.

there is light, but there's a tunnel to crawl through

-

I have spent over ten hours rendering this and I'm not fully happy but WHATEVER just take it I'm done

continuing my frightened rabbit agenda. caption is from the oil slick (which may or may not also make an appearance in the next chapter)

[chipthekeeper]

i try not to take it personally when i find out i've been blocked but also i'm like....what could i possibly have done to upset you so much

[cha1cedony]

Finally working on White Lies. Who clapped

[deeneedsaname]

The low-quality animation, different voices, and general style of this remind me SO MUCH of 2010’s dreamworks shows, and I think honestly we should all be taking this at THAT value. Think of this as like the KFP show rom back in the day. (This does not include the penguins of Madagascar show, that was top tier and better than 90% of content everywhere.) Aside from all that, ROXANNE!! And the doom syndicate!!!

A story about many things, but mostly about the love between mothers and daughters, through the generations: born and chosen, lost and found.

The wind picked up, bright leaves sighing against the baby blue of a breakable sky. Daisy glanced across at May’s still profile. 

“I’ll walk with you?” 

May glanced at her -- was that a flicker of surprise? -- and nodded. 

Coulson didn’t say anything, as they got out of the car. She saw them exchange a glance, brief and loaded and steady, familiar; May took the lead, hiking up the hilly ground. The flowers in her hand were splotches of color, her dark jeans and old leather jacket standing out stark against well-tended green. Daisy fell into step at her shoulder. 

She’d known that May came here every once in a while. Not often. May hadn’t asked them to come along this time as much as she’d made it clear she didn’t mind if they did. 

Daisy had negotiated her way into getting May to delegate some of her workload for the first time a few years ago, when there wasn't time for anything and May was busily pretending she wasn’t running herself ragged, trying to do a million things at once. She’d ended up on the phone with a list of florists local to various states, who’d made knowing aaah sounds when she said she was speaking on behalf of Melinda May. Lilies and roses, arrangements she didn’t even have to specify; she’d been handed a scrap of paper at least twenty years old, May’s spiky handwriting unchanged and the specifics unthinking in a way that told Daisy this had been routine for a very long time. 

They came to a stop; Daisy's breath stuttered slowly out of her lungs, in spite of herself.

Jenny Everywhere and the Even More Annoyingly-Titled Sequel to "Jenny Everywhere and the Rather Annoyingly Titled Sequel to "Jenny Everywhere and the Very Short Story""

"Aaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhh!" screamed Jenny Everywhere, in what was typically regarded as a blood-curdling screech*.

"Well," I said, for the bit where I added in parenthesis after "narrator" that the narrator was, in fact, me was getting rather tiresome, "I'd already ruined the joke of the first story, so I thought I might as well carry on. And these are rather fun, I must say."

Jenny Everywhere groaned. This may have been because she had an elephant on her head, or else it may have been because she was rather pissed off at me.

I suspect the latter, in hindsight.

Just then, because I couldn't think of anything else to put here, in a daring act of outstanding fanwankery, I suddenly revealed that I was not, in fact, a mere ordinary narrator, the likes of which you might find in an everyday story, but instead I was the Narrator in Grey!

"I!" I cried, in a daring act of outstanding fanwankery, "Am not, in fact, a mere ordinary narrator, the likes of the which you might find in an everyday story, but instead I am the Narrator in Grey!"

"The who?" asked Jenny Everywhere, still decidedly peeved at my antics.

"The Narrator in Grey!" I cried, "You must have heard of me!"

"Not ringing any bells," said Everywhere.

"Oh," I said, disheartened, "Well, then, let me rectify that lack of knowledge, and inform you that I, the Narrator in Grey, am very evil and such, being the Man in Grey's evil cousin! And I am here to stop you!"

"Stop me doing what?" asked Everywhere.

"Why, having adventures of course!" I said.

"Yeah, figures," said Everywhere, "I mean, bloody hell, you really are evil!"

So Jenny Everywhere gave me a very stern telling off, and told me not to be evil any more, so I became very good and we both went on lots of lovely adventures together, and we all lived happily ever after until the very next day, when the universe in which these stories took place imploded, because it didn't particularly fancy another one of these Tumblr flash-fic things.
