I'm so tired of feeling like this.

As per usual, it’s DP crossover with (probably) DC, although you could probably adjust it for other fandoms

ANYWAYS

A little kid and his mother are trick or treating in another city, perhaps at some kind of event rather than knocking on doors, and the kid is dressed as Phantom. It’s very adorable, with his little ghost-shaped bucket and clearly homemade and already stained costume—listen, white only works if you can just fly over street grime or phase it out of your clothes—and his slightly I’ll fitting wig. The kid is SO happy to be out and about dressed as his favorite, and maybe even showed it off to Phantom back in Amity Park before his family left.

The hero, insert whoever you wish here, is probably in civvies and just enjoying the event. The kid, meanwhile, is so glad when people ask who he is so he can explain, and so- the hero gets to hear ALL ABOUT the local town hero who is probably pretty small time despite the kid’s clearly exaggerated stories. The hero certainly never heard of him, but the kid’s mom confirms that Phantom really was the town hero, despite some mixed reviews of the poor guy.

“Did you manage to show him your costume?” the hero asks.

“Yeah! We went down to the cemetery to leave flowers and I got to show him my costume.”

Wait. Cemetery? Maybe it was part of theme, because Phantom had to be named that for a reason, but… it sounded like…

The kid ignores the suddenly VERY still hero and instead turns to his mom. “Momma, do you think we should bring him candy? He doesn’t get to trick or treat like we do, and I can work super hard to get him a bunch!”

The kid’s mom just smiles. “We could, but maybe we should bring him something homemade. I bet he’d like something more filling, teen boys like him have a hollow leg.”

The kid wrinkles his nose. “Like Vernie with the pizza bagels?”

“Like your cousin, yes. We can make some cinnamon rolls and take them to his memorial, maybe bring some of the apples from your grandpa’s garden…”

The hero is pretty much forgotten as the two-part family wanders off, not quite intentionally forgetting the hero is there so much as the hero somewhat accidentally ended the conversation when they just froze and didn’t ask anything further.

Not that the hero didn’t want to. But they’d learn something very serious.

One—there was a small town hero they’d never heard of. Two—that hero was apparently a teen. Third—most pressingly, the teen hero was both beloved enough to have kids dressing up as him and dead enough to have a grave.

This… might require some phone calls.

I still think it's very silly that when Eren "died" in season 1, Mikasa was deeply shaken, but soon realized that she still had fight in her and wanted to live to preserve her memories of him. She chose to stand up and fight to honor him

And then there's Armin, who went catatonic, who wanted nothing more than to die with Eren, who tried to convince Mikasa and Connie to leave him with a blade so he could save them and join Eren...

I know it's often said that Mikasa was obsessed with Eren, or that she was too attached to him, but I think we're ignoring the real codependent mess here

One thing that I think a lot of people in the Deltarune fanbase right now don’t really get is that repairing old, outdated, and archaic equipment is not only complicated, but it can be dangerous as well. And this isn’t to say you can’t take creative liberties, I just think it would be interesting to explore just how fragile Tenna is as a physical thing in the first place.

In old CRT and Radio repair, there is this thing called having a “hot” chassis. Now, to prevent from getting into overcomplicated details that might be overly confusing, I’ll use the wiktionary definition for hot chassis: A metal chassis, used as a base for electrical equipment, that is live because it lacks a transformer to isolate the equipment from the mains.

This essentially means that if you touch the wrong thing at the wrong time in a CRT with a hot chassis, it can shock you to death. It can kill you. It doesn’t mean it will! But it absolutely can, even if statistically infrequent. However we have to realize that there is a very big difference between an average person cracking into a CRT for fun, and a trained technician doing professional repairs. It’s obvious who is safer here. You can handle hot chassis CRTs if you properly discharge them, and the professionals are the ones who were trained to know how.

However there is a misconception when people get worried about owning or handling a CRT. You will not die from touching an intact CRT. This is in the realm of opening one and repairing or modding it, not in the realm of everyday use. If CRTs could easily kill you just for touching them while they’re on, we probably wouldn’t have so many fond memories of petting the electric fuzz that comes from the screens. And they also would have been banned.

Sure, it’s possible there are faults or other issues, like cracks or perhaps a wire got messed up and is a fire hazard… But CRTs don’t explode like I have heard some people express worry for. If anything, they implode, due to the tube having a vacuum inside of them. Cracked screens can shock you, and are impossible to repair (they need replacement, and not every CRT model has spare parts just lying around)

This is all to say: Repairing a damaged Tenna is more complicated than it appears, and absolutely poses some risks. Maybe in the dark world it would be pretty simple considering he has a body, but in the circumstances of repairing him in the light world, there is only so much damage his body could possibly take before the damage has gone… Too far. And then that gets into a question of “if you replace enough parts is it still the same person” (which is beyond the scopes of this post).

I also mention all this because I see more people interested in CRTs due to Chapter 3. I love that people are interested more in these archaic pieces of technology and media! It’s wonderful that I’m seeing an interest in what I grew up with.

But I want you guys to be careful when opening a CRT. I know people have gotten awfully comfortable with opening electronics lately, but a CRT is different in a few key ways. Before opening one, please take GREAT CAUTION and be in the presence of someone else in case something actually does happen. Lighting doesn’t strike often, but it only has to strike once.

Moze is initially apprehensive about your and Jiaoqiu's relationship. Not because you're not good for him. You are. You make him smile, you make him laugh, you bring him fresh groceries when he has a hard time leaving the house, you make sure he doesn't just rot in bed all day (although you happily join him for this too). But as Moze comes to acknowledge his past, as he understands more about what it means to have people to care about and who truly care about you, he realizes how hard it is to live without people who mean so much. And if something happens to one of you, will the other survive?

It leaves Moze feeling confused. Is this jealousy? That losing one of you might mean losing you both, without care for what happens to the rest of them.

On some level, you all live dangerous lives, even if Jiaoqiu doesn't work for anyone but Feixiao anymore and diviners are fairly well guarded when they are near the battlefield. Moze knows it won't happen yet, that you are not yet so tied together, but he worries for Jiaoqiu and his fragile heart.

Moze remains his reticent self when Jiaoqiu talks about you, or when you talk about Jiaoqiu. You are undeniably good for him, and Moze can, with fond begrudging, admit Jiaoqiu is good for you too. And slowly, Moze's apprehension transforms into a more worn, tired worry touched with curiosity.

For so many years, stronger feelings have felt burned out of him. With no one to respond to his cries, they had died before they could lay half-formed in his chest. And although it is a gentle thing, the love between you and Jiaoqiu is strong enough to make Moze unsure. All he can do is keep you alive when he can. For Jiaoqiu's sake. He's not willing to let a thing like love keep you all from sharing the life you have been given.

[adhd-winterfalcon]

thinking about. how both tim and dick lost their best friends. ones they never thought they would have to lose because of their powers. ones they never thought they’d outlive. ones they got back.

(this is about donna & wally/kon & bart)

[mulders-too-large-shirt]

thinking about how mulder loves to get scully a gift, usually terribly heartfelt, even if disguised as something flippant:

the superbowl vhs tape he brings her when she wakes up from her coma in one breath (and her deadpan "i knew there was a reason to live")

tickets for a football game to watch together in irresistible

bringing her flowers to the hospital in memento mori (he lies, saying he stole them from a guy with broken legs to make her laugh)

the birthday keychain in tempus fugit (and when she finds a meaning to it, he claims "i just thought it was a pretty cool keychain")

that is a man who is always thinking about her.

[NINJAGO LEAKS DR S3P2, talking about jay/rogue]

jay rogue walker is better than me because if i lost my entire identity and memory and didnt even know if my name was actually real and got for years manipulated and lied to and the people who got me kicked out and kept switching back and forth from being seemingly nice to hating me for every little thing then commissioned me a job, then wanted me to risk my literal soul which is fucked up already from the other guy to save people we werent there for just to not save anyone but the targets anyway, and then go do that again??? and then they get mad at me for not wanting to risk my life for something i never wanted to be a part of?????? yeah id murder them all honestly

[casualavocados]

I asked myself why I failed to notice. It was the first time we'd been apart that long. I found the birthday gifts you prepared for me in my room, from my 18th to my 21st. ...Shut up. I started to think about what you were doing back then. Were you celebrating my birthday all by yourself?

Everytime someone goes "Luka is so manipulative" as if anyone on Alien Stage never did anything wrong ever fucking kills me.

Till killed his opponent (since winning against an opponent is killing them in y'all logic) in round 2 by not letting him sing at all.

The only rounds were NOTHING was done to undermine the opponent was round 1. And round 3.

Mizi and Ivan are canonically the only fucks who let their opponent sings at all.

Round 6...Well technically Ivan did NOT stop Till from singing. He made himself lose.

And do tell me if i am wrong. In Round 7 Luka let Till sings. Like the whole time. He did not overtake his lines or do any touch thay was directly harmful at all.
