     “Why does the third of the three brothers, who shares his food with the old woman in the wood, go on to become king of the country?

Why does James Bond manage to disarm the nuclear bomb a few seconds before it goes off rather than, as it were, a few seconds afterwards?

Because a universe where that did not happen would be a dark and hostile place.

Let there be goblin hordes, let there be terrible environmental threats, let there be giant mutated slugs if you really must, but let there also be hope.

It may be a grim, thin hope, an Arthurian sword at sunset, but let us know that we do not live in vain.”

This. Always this.

We are writers. Yes, we write of death and broken dreams and horrors beyond human comprehension, because all of those are parts of life.

But the greatest part of life is hope. That all will not be lost. That we can do better.

Matilda (movie) remake where Trunchbull looks like one of those hyper feminine bleach blonde Republican women you see on talk shows as the token girl/eye candy. And then Miss Honey is a soft-hearted, handy, tie-wearing Butch.

It is so so important that Miss Honey is also fat.

every time a straight woman has asked me why I smell so good I reply that it’s probably Old Spice deodorant and every time she recoils like she’s been slapped

luring the middle aged straight women in with my gay armpits like

on one hand (feminist brain) the idea of gendered scents is ridiculous and I wish these women could divorce themselves from the idea that a pleasant smell is unfeminine and therefore off-limits to them; ladies, free yourselves!!!

on the other hand (dyke brain) yes babe I do smell like your old college fling… but I know a thing or two he did not… 😏

top tier character-building device in pokemon games is when a seemingly antagonistic character has a golbat on their team and then later has it evolved into a crobat, which requires significant friendship, thus signalling that the character was always a kind person inside (plumeria), is growing past their issues and learning to be kinder (silver), may hold a spark of kindness that undermines their cold and calculating image (cyrus), etc etc

Meanwhile, Ghetsis—who is an antagonist who pretends to be an advocate for Pokemon rights—faces off against you with an under-leveled Hydreigon, which in the canon lore of the series only happens when someone forces evolution early, and that Hydreigon uses a full-power Frustration in B2W2, suggesting that it absolutely loathes Ghetsis.

For any non-pokemon players:

In pokemon games, there’s a hidden stat called friendship, which maxes out at 255 points; there are two (major) moves that are affected by this:

Return, which gets stronger the higher a pokemon’s friendship stat is, capping at 102 base power with 255 friendship (for context, hyper beam has a base power of 150)

And frustration, which does the opposite, getting stronger the lower a pokemon’s friendship stat is, capping out at 102 base power when the pokemon is at 0 friendship

The EXTRA fucked up thing is, almost NO pokemon has a base friendship of 0. The only pokemon that do are legendary pokemon and buneary. So Ghetsis actively lowered his Hydreigon’s friendship, and the only way to do that in-game is to let your pokemon faint often without using healing items on them

In other words Ghetsis is a major cunt

wh

what’s up with buneary???

Buneary fucking hates you by default. It’s also another friendship-dependent evolution line.

for others who are clueless in the poking men, this is the tiny bunny that fucking hates you

Bunneary hates your guts with the force of Gods

Johnny 13’s core is one of John Constantine’s sold-off soul fragments, which somehow - whether by it’s own volition or not - got away from it’s owner and made a whole new unlife for himself.

Johnny and shadow are 1/13th of Constantine’s soul and a Constantine family bad luck curse that Constantine traded away to Realms Being for (insert reason here/I don’t know. Maybe ghost booze).

Due to the power of the Realms and the sheer stubbornness of even 1/13 of Constantine’s soul, the soul shard developed into a full blown ghostling. The Being Constantine made the deal with basically decides Johnny 13 is his baby now and raises him as their own child.

Eventually Johnny 13 slips through a natural portal and ends up in the living world in (insert era Kitty is from here). There he meets Kitty and they fall in love. Johnny, being a Neverborn/Mirrorborn, does not realize how squishy livings can be which eventually leads to Kitty’s death when they are trying to escape the law. Luckily Kitty becomes a Livingborn Realms Being (ghost) and spends the rest of her afterlife with him. AfterLife is pretty sweet for Johnny and Kitty until the Fentons open the portal.

…

The rest of the story continues a la canon/fanon but since we already know what happened we are just going to skip over than.

…

One day Johnny runs a foul of a demon who recognizes Johnny as a fragment of Constantine’s soul and decides Johnny technically counts as Constantine’s first born. This leads to a bunch of demons and other miscellaneous beings going after Johnny to fulfill his “fathers” end of their bargains. 

So now Johnny has to find his “father” in order to get out of the first born contracts as well as to punch Constantine in the face for getting him into this mess in the first place.

Short DPXDC Prompts #918

Danny worked as a chauffeur for Bruce when Bruce was a child.

I’m just imagining he drive every bit as insanely as you’d expect the son of Jack Fenton to drive.

Sure, Danny always gets there on time(or fashionably late as celebrities are wont to do), but he consistently manages to somehow break almost every traffic law, engage in a highspeed chase with Gotham P.D.’s “finest” and get away without so much as a scratch on the car

Just imagine this man driving little baby Bruce to school and home and pulling that

Danny is the reason Bruce loves driving fast cars

I raise you Thomas Wayne also drives like that. the difference being that man wrecks the car every 10 to 12 outings. this is why everyone is so comfortable with Danny’s driving, at least he misses the three stop signs and the tree

I raise you that Martha Wayne is an absolute madwoman who doesn’t care how she’s taken to a destination, the only thing she wants is to be taken there fast.

She saw Danny drive 90 on a 25 and expertly veer around: a schoolbus, 3 minivans, and 1 cement mixer and instantly knew he was perfect for the job.

Danny gives a different answer every single time he’s asked about it. Somehow, he has yet to say the same excuse twice.

it goes from “I didn’t eat enough vegetables as a kid.” to a thirty minute elaborate story about how he was adopted by the ancient mole people and became their new mole god.

The only one he told the truth to was Jason, and Jason told him that it was so unbelievable that he might as well stick to his other stories.

So Danny just shrugged and went back to the tall tales.

I want to say he uses intangibility to not crash but it’d be way funnier if it was pure skill

He learned to drive from Jack Fenton.

You bet 99% of the stunts he pulls off is pure skill.

Hi Tumblr!

Local queer trans girl werewolf VTuber weirdo here letting your know that I am approaching nearly 12 Months of being unemployed.

Over the last 12 months I have:

• Submitted 3,000+ applications/resumes.
• Had 100+ interviews.
• Got 1 job that I was constantly misgendered at, and upon informing HR, was then cyber-stalked by my bosses.
• Got 1 freelance opportunity who, after two weeks, realized they had hired too many people and then let everyone go who was hired - me included.
• Ran out of unemployment, drained my savings, maxed out my credit, and fully lost my insurance.

Unfortunately, even if I got a job RIGHT NOW, I would be unable to pay rent and bills for the foreseeable future.

I am constantly applying for jobs and trying to keep everything above water, but at this point I’ve become desperate for help.

If you have the ability to donate or contribute, you can use any of these below:

P@yPal: Paypal.me/kdinj
Ca$hApp: $KdinJ
Kofi: ko-fi.com/kdinjenzen

Additionally, if you have any leads on possible jobs you can feel free to message me as I’m actively applying to everything I can right now.

HI! I just got an email stating that I need to raise $1,028 in 5 days or else SAG will be withholding my earnings from my recent VO work and possibly fining me as well.

Additionally, I need to get another $1000 before Oct 31st to be able to make rent.

So if you have some change to spare, we’d greatly appreciate it!

$330 / $2,028

I’m fascinated by how the formatting of different social media sites affect how text is read.

For instance, a line break on Tumblr indicates a new idea.

But a reblog break indicates that time has passed.

i don’t tend to reread or rewatch a lot of things, but there’s certain things i’m so glad i did. especially the percy jackson/heroes of olympus/trials of apollo books, as an adult. if you read any of them under 18, under 25 even, i really encourage reading them all the way through again as an adult. some things don’t age well and i am confident rick will handle changing them better in the TV adaptation. but there’s also a lot of BS that the fandom made up online, and a lot of things you’d miss as a teen or a young adult yourself that comes to the fore that you gain a different perspective on. especially as a queer adult reading nico when i didn’t realize i was queer before, or a queer adult reading trials of apollo because that story, is such a good examination of being an adult looking back on your youth. there’s characters with such depth and interesting things going on (like jason!) that were MASSACRED by the fandom, there’s tiny details that are beautiful you probably completely forgot. it’s a very rewarding experience
