Looming

[deadsetobsessions]

Danny stared at his nemesis, slowing his walk to a complete stop.

“Don’t,” he pleaded.

The devil incarnate glared back at him, somehow conveying its disdain, disinterest, and malicious intent in one cold stare.

“I swear to Ancients-!”

Mr. Muffins, Jazz’s college cat, meowed loudly and slapped the glass off of the counter.

“No!” Danny dove at the glass, skidding across the tile just in time to catch Jazz’ favorite cup as tipped over and plummeted towards the cold hard floor. “Oh my- you little devil! Mr. Muffins, you little shit!”

Mr. Muffins flicked a tail and sat down calmly as Danny sprung back up to place the cup into the sink.

“You stinky bastard, Jazz would have killed me!”

Danny picked the cat up and held him by the armpits, dangling the cat. Mr. Muffins, no longer simply disdainful, meowed loudly and tried to wiggle away.

“Listen, here, Mr. Muffins- ah! No, you’re not allowed to run away! You have to take responsibility for your actions,” Danny slipped into Ghost Speak as he lectured Mr. Muffins, a rather harried look smushed across his face. He didn’t hear the door open, but he did hear Jazz call out to him.

“Danny, stop bullying Mr. Muffins!”

“Maybe if you parented Mr. Muffins right, he wouldn’t be trying to knock your favorite cup all over the place! If it weren’t for me,” Danny swayed Mr. Muffins, who had become docile as he caught sight of Jazz, like a fluffy and long pendulum. “Your cup would be pieces all over the floor right now!”

Jazz tossed her keys onto the table. “Right… and that definitely didn’t have anything to do with you putting your cup too close to the edge like I told you not to?”

Danny stared at her, mouth gaping in offense. Alright, so it did have to do with that, but it was offensive how fast she came to that conclusion. Danny said as much to Jazz, who smirked and plucked her cat from his grip.

“Have you considered that you’re easily predictable, dork?” Jazz cuddled Mr. Muffins, who was purring up a storm, and walked towards her room.

“Rude! Are you calling me basic?”

“If the shoes fit, Danny-O!” Jazz hollered back. Mr. Muffins mewed as if to punctuate her sentence.

“I hate that cat,” Danny grumbled, grinning fondly. “Now that you’re back, I’m gonna go visit Tim and Tucker! They’re over at Tucker’s for a project!”

“Kay!” Jazz yelled back. “Don’t run into to much trouble and be back before three A.M.!”

“Yes, mother!” Danny put on his shoes and started walking.

——

Danny, along with a handful of dumbstruck civilians, stared down at the unconscious clown. Then, they stared at Danny’s hand in shock and awe. Danny too, stared at his own hand, but in abject betrayal.

“Shit. Jazz is gonna kill me.” He mumbled, pulling out his phone.

“Hey, Tucker. Yeah, sorry, I’m gonna be late.” Danny paused, glancing back down at the clown, up at the still shocked goons, and sighed. “I- uh, knocked out the Joker by accident. Maybe broke his nose.”

Danny heard Tim’s muffled “WHAT?!” and silently concurred because what? He thought villains in Gotham were made of sturdier stuff?!

“Can you tell Jazz? I gotta,” Danny held up the phone, so it could pick up the loud sirens approaching his position. “Deal with the cops.”

Danny pouted as Tucker laughed at him.

(Ghost and Soap mad at each other)

Ghost: Go ahead and leave! See if I care

(Soap scoffs and walks away)

————————————————

(2 minutes later)

Price: If I knew you’d be disturbing me in my office, I would’ve-

Ghost sighs: I miss him

Price: Go and look for him

Ghost: No! Then I’d look like one who’s craving his attention

Price: You are-

Ghost: Piss off

(Soap enters)

Soap: Needed me Capt’n…?

(Price stands up and leaves)

Soap and Ghost: …

Ghost muttering: Missed you…

Soap: Hm?

Ghost: N’thin…

Soap: Thought I heard-

Ghost: I’M SORRY

Soap: …and?

Ghost: I love you…?

Price outside the office with another soldier: They’re the complete opposite yet fit each other so fucking good

[lattesqueeze]

…yeah

[ibenology]

Gwen: maybe you should be here on time

Alice: hey Gwen, time isn’t real

Me: oh so you want each other carnally

something i can't stop thinking about is the fact that Percy Jackson started as a comfort story for Rick's son to show him that his adhd and dyslexia doesn't have to be just a bad thing and the fandom then took Percy and Leo and made them into these stupid idiots that don't even know basic math or "big" words and wouldn't be able to even tie their shoelaces without someone else's (someone smarter's) help

don't yall see how fucked up that is? a big part of this fandom has adhd and/or dyslexia and/or other learning disabilities/neurodivergence and find comfort in those characters. they are called lazy and stupid all the time and then yall decided to take characters with those disabilities and ignore their inteligence and made them into something they are not just because their adhd is more "visible" (read more stereotypical looking) (even tho that's not true either because the fandom made them into chaotic gremlins but in reality Percy is more just sarcastic and snarky and even that is more just his internal monologue for his own amusment and to cope and Leo just uses humor as a coping mechanism to hide his depression and other issues but that's a discussion for another time)

Percy is canonically very smart and strategic. no he isn't very good at school. it's what happens when you're neurodivergent and have learning disabilities. that doesn't mean he's stupid. no he doesn't know everything about greek mythology and that doesn't make him stupid either. but when Annabeth tells him the myth he is very good at coming up with strategies and how to win a fight. he's not smart as Annabeth because Annabeth is literally a daughter of the goddess of wisdom so stop fucking comparing them. are you also going to call Annabeth weak and incapable because she can't control water? no you won't because that's fucking stupid. and Leo. fucking Leo. is literally canonically a mathematic genius and also genius when it comes building stuff. they're both smart. they're not fucking stupid. they know and understand words that are longer than 5 letters. no they do not struggle with basic knowledge. they're not fucking stupid.

and miss me with the "it's just a joke" bullshit

jokes are supposed to be funny

and it's not just a joke for many of you because the number of fanfics where they are written in exactly this way is too fucking high. it's actually surprising to find a fanfic where they are written right

in conclusion: the way this fandom portrays Percy and Leo is reinforcing the harmful misconception that people with adhd and/or other learning disabilities are stupid and i hate it with a burning passion

call me sensitive all you want i'll gladly accept it i will rather be called sensitive for hating that those characters are being treated this way than follow the fandoms harmful idea about them

thank you for coming to my ted talk <3

*over patrol headsets*

Tim: The most cringe board game is obviously "Sorry!"- what are you apologizing for? Your weakness?

Steph: No it's "Monopoly" 'cause it tells you the only way to win in capitalism is by cheating!

Duke: Just because you cheat at everything doesn't mean everybody else does. You're all letting "Scrabble" off easy- it's Nerd: The Game.

Jason: Don't you dare disrespect "Scrabble" only idiots don't like it. "Apples to Apples" clearly wins dumbest game because some people don't appreciate comedic genius.

Damian: "Clue" is the worst.

Dick: Don't you love murder mysteries?

Damian: Hard to imagine a more embarrassing death than being beaten by a candlestick in the spa by someone named Colonel Mustard.

Bruce: Do you all just make things up to argue about?

Okay, let's talk about /the hug/.

I've seen everyone saying how Wednesday hugged Enid back when she saw her crying, but imo, it wasn't just that.

Now, lets recap:

Enid is the epitome of "soft" on Wednesday's eyes. The scaredy cat that isn't able to listen to her murder theories without passing out, the one who can't wolf out and whose only proof of being a werewolf is having rainbow colored claws. So yeah, THAT same Enid that gets scared of anything remotely creepy literally jumped a Hyde, just to save her. The same Hyde that has a rep for gutting and maiming half of the population in Jericho.

So, imagine seeing that soft, sweet Enid, completely covered in blood and with her face scratched open, running to hug her. As if her only priority was making sure Wednesday was okay.

When Wednesday pushes her off, she /sees/ her bloody face that will remain permanently scarred and all she founds there is relief.

The only reason Enid didn't die was because Sheriff Galpin distracted his son by shooting him, giving her an opening to push him back. That girl put her life on the line for Wednesday without even thinking it twice, because in her words "You don't have to ask. Thats what friends do."

Those. Are not just friends. Those are best friends for life.

Cas, disheveled: hello, sorry about being late, I was doing... some stuff

Dean, also late: really important stuff

Sam: do you guys think I'm an idiot?

[sage-is-in-fact-very-tired]

“Andrew Minyard and Neil Josten never say I love you”

WRONG!

“How do you KNOW!?!? HOW WOULD YOU KNOW!?!?” SHUT UP I AM GOD OR SOMETHING

They do say I love you

It’s a rare occurrence but it does happen.

The first time is when they’re searching for an apartment

They’re searching quietly with the occasional comments about how a place looks nice

And then it hits Neil that regular couples would’ve at least said ‘I love you’ before moving in together, and while the two of them will NEVER be regular people, he still wants to say it.

He knows that forever they’ve said ‘I love you’ through keys, kisses, stealing sips from each other’s drinks (they get caught almost every time because Nicky audibly squeals despite trying not to)

But he really wants to say the words this time,

And so Neil mumbles something about the apartment on screen before adding “I love you” to the end of his sentence.

Andrew looks at him

And he doesn’t say ‘I love you too’

But he can tell from Andrew quickly directing his attention back to his laptop that Andrew does love him.

And it takes a while

But eventually Andrew says it back.

The first time it happens in front of the team is a few months later

They get together and hang out as often as possible, but they don’t get together enough to know that Neil and Andrew have started saying ‘I love you’ to each other

Halfway through whatever they’re doing Andrew’s phone rings and he sighs before muttering “I’ll be right back, I love you” to Neil.

And the whole team is shocked, because since when does Andrew love things!? I mean— they all knew he loves Neil but they didn’t expect him to admit it!?

And Neil is shocked too

Because he never expected Andrew to say it in front of the team

But he has the biggest and dumbest smile on his face, which obviously says that he loves Andrew too.

After that it’s still rare

But it does happen

Thanks for coming to my tedtalk guys 👍🏾

half of me thinks i should not be posting such a half-done WIP, BUT -

the next week or two may be very distracting so i'm caving to the impulse to share something while i know i have the chance. this is that 4-panel idea i mentioned recently (yes, there will be one more image)

and i think with this, everyone knows what the theme is and what will be happening in that last image.

oh- also for the 'transformation' guardian bingo card!

my favorite holmes and Watson adaptations are always like-

the best and most accurate versions of themselves to the book renditions and frequently regarded as the best Sherlock Holmes adaptations ever

and

these two fucks I found off the street. they are like street rats to me. endearing street rats.

It’s the way fantasy is broken down and built back up through a rather tenuous connection between Jon and Sansa. Two characters who are fantasy, when you really think about it, and are at the heart of GRRM’s deconstruction and reconstruction of common fantasy tropes.

There’s Sansa, the fantasy princess in every sense of the word. She’s breathtakingly beautiful and polite. She’s got her magic pet and her penchant for singing sweet songs. She wishes to explore outside her father’s magic castle and then boom, the king visits and now she’s betrothed to the most handsome prince who’s destined to be king. And he promises that he will take her out of that tower. She will get to live the grand romantic performance of a prince rescuing his maiden and marrying her and living happily ever after. And he does….only it’s the worst outcome imaginable. Out of one tower into another (and the tower is gender!). The handsome prince is a sadistic freak who abuses her and controls her. The beautiful queen is actually quite evil and perpetuates her abuse. The knights at court ignore her or are active participants in her dehumanization. Her family is either dead or far away from her. And as all pretty princesses are, she’s brutally orphaned. There’s no one to protect her. There are no valiant heroes and there are no true knights…..or maybe there are? In her disillusionment, she wishes for a hero to chop off ugly Janos Slynt’s head. Then in comes Jon Snow - a bastard black knight who is ironically (and unknowingly) the heroic prince Sansa dreams of but has come to think doesn’t exist. Sansa, a princess in a tower who is losing all hope. And Jon, a prince in hiding who is her hope. Huh…I thought fairytales didn’t exist? Maybe they do, actually. You just have to open your eyes and see.
