Night's The Only Time Of Day

You know a job parents everywhere are always in need of? Babysitters. You know who did pretty good (ish) job on his parenting assignment, can be anywhere in the country in a matter of minutes, and is desperately wanting the new Doomed game? Daniel Fenton. You know who starts using this most excellent service the most? Superhero parents.

Danny: of course Mister Batman Sir, I an stop him from sneaking out and patrolling for you.

Batman: hmmn. Robin: Father, I do not need a babysitter. I can join you on this mission. Batman: mmm. Danny: I don't know what that grunt means but my prices are 8 dollars an hour and an additional 10 dollars per escape attempt and if he attempts to harm me- Robin: Tt. I would not attempt, I would succeed. Danny: ahem. If he attempts to harm me then I'll add another 3 to 15 dollars based on the severity of the attack. Batman: What would constitute the 15 dollars?

Danny: Trying to skin me and mount me on a wall, trying to dissect me or trying to rip me apart molecule from molecule. Batman: It is worrying that you would only charge 15 dollars.

here's the thing. jack is a gentle person who was forced into being tough and strong and fierce by circumstance. his hands are calloused and his knuckles are bruised when he picks flowers to display in the window by his bed and when he wipes away tears from a younger boy and when he braids the hair of a little girl who can't do it herself. and davey is a fierce, angry person who has learned to be gentle and quiet and pleasant by circumstance. he isn't used to being in a fist fight but when he stops trying to be otherwise, his words are sharp and pointed and direct even when he's offering comfort and kindness and wit. jack has never had the chance to just be gentle without fighting for it. davey has never allowed himself to exist without a filter.

i spent $32 on this fucking bowl at the moma and at first i felt bad buying it bc it was so expensive but ive had a terrible day today and every time i look at my lil bowl im like :o) you know what. i can get through anything with this bowl by my side

i literally get what marie kondo was talking about now

bc everyone keeps requesting to see it filled :)

I don’t know how long I’ve been here. Time seems to pass differently. But the place is cozy and private so I have no complaints. And whenever I’m hungry, I go outside with my bowl and walk down the hill to the shore. Sometimes the lake is made of soup. Sometimes it’s huge pasta noodles the size of barges. Sometimes it’s breakfast cereal. Sometimes it’s dumplings the size of great whales. I dip my little bowl and take a portion and carry it back up to the house.

Today I found a new bowl! In its center is a little hill with a little house. I will carry it down to the shore and fill it up, and whomever lives in that little house can have a tiny portion of my meal. I hope they have a nice bowl to put it in..

Speaking of books it's been a while since I've seen one of these posts going around & I'm curious so everyone could you tell me what you are reading rn in the tags please

for the last 1,200 days someone has left a comment on every single manyatruenerd video, asking him to play zoo tycoon. each comment has kept a tally of how many days it's been since they started asking, steadily ticking up and up and up. it's been over three years of polite but incredibly persistent bothering

congratulations to this one very dedicated person

Imagining the sheer and utter bliss they felt typing this out

current image in my head i can't get rid of: soccer played davey jacobs covered in dirt and grass and sopping wet from playing in the rain while his husband watches cheerfully under an umbrella on the sidelines, completely dry and very much into everything going on right now

professional soccer player davey jacobs playing backyard ball with his two small children while his husband watched from the porch with the baby

I'm curious given how often I see "none of the characters were good/likeable/lovable" as a criticism or reason not to recommend a book

something something jack and davey both thinking they were acts of service love language types because they were both so deeply insecure in themselves that they needed to feel useful to feel loved. and something something both of them finding for the first time with each other that they don't need to provide utility to be loved. and something something this spilling out into the rest of their lives as they make each other better and push each other to grow.

adding my own tags bc they marinated overnight and I like them :)
