#the quick and dead

[thewordwideweb]

Quick! What's the good word?

Quick! Look alive! Can you tell me the Word of the Day?

C’mon, I haven’t got all day. Be quick about it.

The Word of the Day is “quick.” And so is the history of the word.

“Quick,” which traces its roots to about a dozen languages, originally meant “alive” (“living, alive, animate, characterized by the presence of life” – The Online Etymology Dictionary). The Biblical phrase “the quick and the dead” (also the title of a movie starring Sharon Stone and Gene Hackman) referred to those who were alive and those who weren’t.

It was – you should pardon the expression – a quick jump from “alive” to the modern meaning of “lively, animated, sprightly, swift and speedy. Also "done quickly, sudden, not lasting a long time.”

And if you don’t like this post, you’ll leave me cut to the quick (the tender part of the flesh under a fingernail or toenail).

One Upon A Time...

Ghost Robin!Jason finds himself in the Infinite Realms and stumbles into a floating ice castle.

Inside said castle is a sleeping/healing Prince of the Infinite Realms Danny Phantom.

And a sticky note written in purple ink saying

"Even fairy tales have some grain of truth in the stories. Will you try to see if its true Jason Todd?"

Danny is there for every Hero Death

Ever heard of SCP-4999, a man who appears at the deathbed of anybody who dies alone to offer them some final comfort? That's Danny for all Hero Deaths.

He's there for Superman when he is killed by Doomsday, leading him to the Afterlife with a kind smile

He's there for Barry Allen when he dies, letting him know that he can finally stop running.

He's there for Stephanie Brown when she dies of her Wounds in Dr Leslie's office, holding her hand as she passes

And he's there with Jason Todd when he is betrayed by his mother and killed by the Joker, offering a shoulder to cry on as the building explodes

He is the comforting presence there to sooth all Heroes in their final moments, because he never had one in his own.

“No one else that I would go to hell for”

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him; and he went forth conquering and to conquer.

No home to return to.

Happy Oct 3rd to those who celebrate!

Danny and Jason flirting but it’s just them talking about food and sharing recipes

Danny: that’s some juicy looking pan roasted chicken you have there… can’t help but notice you have some… brown bits left on the pan…

Jason: Oh yeah? And what do you think I should do about it?

Danny: sauté some onion and deglaze with some red wine, make a nice luscious pan sauce

Jason: Hmmmm… personally I was thinking shallots… something a little subtler… teasing even… maybe take some butter and… mount the sauce

Danny: Yes chef
