He could already see how that conversation would go over. Danny would go ‘hey, sorry me and my parents killed one of your adopted wards, twas an accident really, some twat of an investor turned on the ecto-collider while he was standing in it and Timothy got fried with enough radiation to mutate a steak back into the cow. Oopsies.’

And then Bruce mcFucking Wayne would throw him in Blackgate for murder before Danny got the chance to explain that hey, no, the guy isn’t dead, the Fentons just accidentally turned another teenager into a half dead abomination yippee. Pack it up cause the government absolutely loved the concept of debating if it was vivisection or dissection when cutting open a halfa. Mr. Wayne was pretty wealthy though so maybe Tim wasn’t gonna have to worry about the finer definitions on vivi vs dissect? Rich people paid off the government all the time, there was a reason why people like Vlad and Lex Luthor got away with so much bullshit.

He prodded the body with a foot. Tim did not so much as twitch.

There was the slow pulse of a core though, slower than the mock heartbeat that Danny’s core liked to hover at, and Tim did appear to be breathing- as much as a half dead person could- so Danny wasn’t too concerned about the unconsciousness quite yet. Once Mom was back with the Ecto-Dejecto then they could stick Tim and he’d be about as right as acid rain. Minus the whole,, traumatizing death and all that.

“I’m sorry for half killing you.”

“It’s okay. I’m compartmentalizing.” Tim muttered. “You’re fine. I’m fine. I didn’t fall through a table at breakfast this morning and bust my chin on the ground. It’s fine.”

This ‘compartmentalization’ sounded a whole lot more like shock but hey, Danny was gonna take forgiveness where he could. Especially if it kept him away from Mr. Wayne and the sad, vaguely concerned parental face he made whenever he was in the same room as Danny and his parents.

“Want another ecto shot?”

“No.”

“You might feel better after. Works just as good as a RedBull.” He shook the (thankfully normal) thermos at the other and Tim sighed, giving in and taking it to unscrew the lid.

Every single corpse, skeleton, or other human remains that was not properly buried under their own name, murdered and/or had unfinished business in the whole of Gotham (including the bay) gets up and claws themselves out of their dumping ground. The living watch in horror as green glowing zombies swarm the streets and start to gather at Gothams cemeteries…

After moving to Gotham the last thing Danny wanted was to encounter the bats. Unfortunately it seems like the bat burger he works at has become their new favorite hang out spot.

What Danny doesn’t know is that he emits a radioactive signal and the bats are tracking it and don’t know what they’re looking for

Danny happens to be living underground in the abandoned subway/sewers (Croc and Grundy are great neighbors, they get together to play poker) so the Bats only detect the radiation whenever Danny comes to the surface for work or errands.

It's a Fenton thing

A lot of Dead on Main fics have Danny and Jason get together over some form of violence and have it be how ghost courtship works.

Sometimes it's kicking someone's ass. Sometimes it's kicking ass on their behalf. Sometimes it's about making a point of showing off your ass-kicking skills in front of them.

It's all fun. It's all valid.

But what if, hear me out, it was not a ghost courtship thing but was a Fenton courtship thing.

How many times has Jack Fenton said "Man that's hot" in response to Maddie kicking ass?

Do you see my vision?

Jason going on a rampage when his enemies kidnap Danny. Danny swooning so hard it takes him a minute to remember how to phase the restraints off. Then he bounds over to fight by his boyfriend's side with a big, lovestruck grin with just a hint of viciousness.

Both of them showing off their combat skills for the other to admire.

At some point, someone asks if it's a ghost thing, and One of the Fentons replies "no, that's just how hotness works," at the same that a ghost replies "no, they're just like that."

Imagine a universe where Jazz's first crush was on the one other kid in her karate class who could best her as often as she beat them.

Imagine the Fentons having a colorful history of falling in love on battlefields and in underground fighting rings.

Batman and Robin are fighting Poison Ivy! She throws pollen at them...the wrong type. Also, it misses and hits some kid with a camera.

She meant to throw cuddle pollen.

She threw sex pollen.

She freezes, horrified, because Robin is a kid. Luckily, it misses.

Unluckily, it hits an even smaller kid.

She and Batman and Robin all hurry to the kid's side, Ivy mentally trying to figure out if the kid'll survive being sedated long enough for her to make the cure.

The kid, though, won't stop sneezing. And itching his face and neck. Also wheezing a little.

Anyways that's how Tim finds out that he's super allergic to Ivy's sex pollen, and it doesn't do what it's supposed to with him, because his body just goes into "Allergy Season Mode".

Good news; the swelling of his airways made it possible to decontaminate him without any actually getting in his bloodstream.

Bad news; he called Robin Dick by accident when he'd been disoriented by the sudden onset of Extreme Allergies, and now Batman and Robin are very interested to know how he knows Robin's name.

Danny leaves Amity Park to start his own Demolitions business.

He uses hoards of blob ghosts that safely and quietly just...eat the buildings he's hired to demolish. They do it overnight, all living animals/hidden homeless/injured vigilantes are spared.

He sets up in Metropolis, because more often than not the buildings that get damaged in Superman's fights have to be completely torn down.

He puts up a privacy screen so that no one can see what happens on the other side, and at three in the morning he releases the blob ghosts.

Since cameras can't pick them up, people assume he has the power to either melt buildings or make them disintegrate.

Business is booming, he's confusing literally everyone and making money while doing it. He's doing so well, in fact, he also starts taking orders from outside Metropolis.

Batman does not want the meta demolition man with melting/disintegration powers in Gotham, no he does not.

One day, Batman (and or a Robin) tail him all day trying to see his powers at work. Danny had everything ready. The safety screen was up, he was clocked on, his lunch had been eaten (and the blobs were about to eat their own lunch) but these vigilantes just would not leave him alone. They stood by him the whole day. Literally. He spent the whole day escorting them off private property. He had to use every warrant, contract, and even make a few calls to his employers to get the bats to comply. Not once was he able to go under the safety curtain to direct the blobs. Luckily, they don’t actually need him to be there.

The bats believe that it was a failed attempt at getting information and plan to return tommorow. Only for Danny at the end of the day to tear down the curtain and the building was gone.

Now the bats are convinced he can melt things with his mind.

After this situation, Bruce has changed his mind. He needs to see how this guy’s powers work. So he decides to hire him as Bruce Wayne to tear down another building and placing cameras inside this time to make sure they work right. Only for the cameras to start glitching. There is nothing wrong with them, they just seem to completely ignore what they are recording or have blank, empty spaces in their memory. So now the bats are also convinced Danny can control technology.

So Bruce hires him again….and again…and again, and again, and again. So while yes, they are convinced Danny is someone with an extraordinary amount of powers, they somehow get all of them wrong.

Danny is not a half dead ghost with flight, intangibility, and frost powers. No. He’s some sort of aquatic based creature (from seeing so much ‘water’ (melted ice) around him) who has a melting ability that can control technology, make illusions, read minds, predict the future, can change his gender, and many other abilities.

The fact that weird things happen when his rogues show up does not help clear up these misunderstandings.

Hey I keep thinking about this question.

For further elaboration; you will be perfectly healthy without it, and face no complications relating specifically to that thing. You can still get exhausted from physical work and need to sit down and rest, but you won't have to be completely unconscious to recover. Likewise, your nutrients will stay balanced and you stay at your current weight, but you won't need any food. You can drink if you want, but its not needed if you don't eat.

And you absolutely CANNOT do what you choose ever again. no enjoying good food or enjoying a comfortable nap. Make your choice.

Reblog if you want it will be appreciated 👍

DCxDP Idea - Tucker x Tim Soulmate AU:

So the Justice League believes the Fentons and the GIW. Not completely, but enough. That’s the bad news. The worse news is that they have Danny, and are apparently planning to use him in some kind of spell to banish all the ghosts from the living plane. Which, okay, sure, not the worst idea, except that trying to banish a Liminal is a great way to kill them instead, and guess what everyone in Amity Park is? Not to mention what powering such a ritual could do to Danny.

Tucker is not having a panic attack. He might have one later, but right now he has a job to do.

So the thing about the Justice League is that they’re powerful and together they cover each other’s weaknesses, but individually they are, if not manageable, then at least survivable. They can’t take on the entire league, but Ghosts and their ilk have fangs for a reason, and every predator knows how to divide and conquer.

Technus and Skulker are using Lex Luthor’s tech to deal with the Supers. Jazz has got emotional manipulation and FrightKnight’s sword to take down the Flashes. Desiree agreed to start a mage’s duel with the Justice League Dark. Sam, Ember, Johnny, and Kitty hopefully have the watchtower in hand, with Walker playing backup to get Danny free.

Tucker has two jobs. One, work with Technus to take down the Justice League communications without making it look like anything is up. Two, for the love of the Ancients, do not let the Bats realize something is wrong.

Now on AO3

See, the thing was, the bats did investigate the ghosts. They didn’t have time for a deep dive, but there wasn't anything in the world that could make them not investigate at all. Tim, Damian, and Barbara sat down for hours, digging their way through the various available research on ghosts. And for the most part? It checked out.

The behavioral stuff was iffy and questionable, but the biology work was well done and accurate, as far as they could tell. They were certain that the banishing spell would work, and what’s more, it might be more than a few people's only hope. Many of the ectologists and ghost hunters the Justice League reached out to showed evidence of ecto-contamination. No real effects for the lightly contaminated, but others were already dying in hospitals. Ectoplasm was a subtly infectious substance, not noticeable until too late. With how many ghosts were flying around Illinois, it was impossible to say how many people were already contaminated. The ritual would get rid of the source of the infection by banishing the ghosts and closing any portals on Earth, and it would decontaminate all those poor people at the same time before they could start dying en masse.

Except, something had to be up because the equipment Tim had on him was picking up more ecto-contamination than the Justice League had ever seen, and his soulmate seemed anything but unhealthy. What with almost killing Tim and all.

for anyone wondering, this performance is called “Success Isn’t Linear” by Yoann Bourgeois and is possibly one of the most inspiring things i’ve seen in 2022

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

Bro, blocking someone and then using their tag like this is, all offence, weak as fuck. Like all you had to say was, na bro I don't promote pedo protags on this here blog, because I wholly agree with the premise of your argument given contexts (i.e., writing abusive relationships to show the evils, great; writing abusive relationships to show the romance, yikes).

This response is so, so comically shitty within the context of that tag, oh my god.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

and

are both authoritarian viewpoints to hold and express, even if you don't have the power to enact them.

If you hold these viewpoints you are holding authoritarian viewpoints.

DUDE IT’S PEDO FICS EVERYBODY THINKS THEY’RE NASTY

Let me explain this to you in simple terms.

Something being nasty is not a good reason to ban fiction about it.

If we accept that "something being nasty is a good reason to bad fiction about it" then we give a foot in the door for all the people who truly, genuinely believe that queer people are nasty to ban all queer literature.

This is not about defending bad people this is about defending the freedom of good people from tyranny, you moron.

I think if you take it to its logical extreme. Say, banning people from writing stories of sexual abuse. That could then be said "well ANY talk about sexual abuse is bad."

And from that, you could ban books that talk about it irl. Or books like how to recover after being abuse. If its not something to be discussed AT ALL.

The fact that I’ve seen this post in some form on my dash like 100x and each time there’s new idiots who do not get that you can’t have *some* censorship.

Either you’re for it or you aren’t.

The moment you agree that something should never, ever exist in fiction is the moment that anything can be banned.

Remember a while back how Tumblr banned a bunch of tags, including many popular innocuous ones that even people who are for censorship used and were upset about?

When censorship happens, stuff YOU like can and will be banned. That’s how it works.

Remember how a bunch of people had their accounts terminated here only last year for writing about their own sexual abuse?

When you ban “pedo” topics, say, any talk of child sexual abuse in any form, that means people can no longer write about their own experiences. It means people cannot educate others so they can learn how to protect themselves or get help from these situations.

Censorship is authoritarian. Full stop.

Even if “everyone” agrees something is “gross” and “shouldn’t exist,” that does not fucking matter.

Do you know who generally believes queer people are gross and shouldn’t exist??

The same people who are banning books left and right solely because they have queer characters or relationships.

The same people who attack and kill queer folk for simply exisiting.

This is not just some fandom matter or a case of being chronically online.

Protecting freedom of expression is essential, and if you do not get that, I don’t know what to say to you.

And the people who keep bringing up child sex abuse as a reason for censorship are doing it very specifically because everyone feels like then they HAVE to agree with the person in favor of censorship.

It’s not that there isn’t widespread societal agreement on this. It’s that they want you backed into a rhetorical corner where you feel compelled to agree with them.

Also, like, we KNOW how this shit shakes out in fandom because it's happened before.

In 2007, Livejournal capitulated to the "pedophilia and sex crimes!" cries of (hate group) Warriors 4 Innocence, and you know what communities got shut down? Slashfic communities. Sexual assault survivor support communities. Authors who'd written non-smut m/m fic even got caught up in it. It was DEVASTATING to fandom spaces. I think pretty much everyone knew at least one person whose account was literally DELETED, or were a member of a community that was wiped off the map because they were considerate enough to include topics like "sexual assault" or "BDSM" in the profiles under the badly-named category of "interests" to indicate that posts on said blogs or communities may include discussion of things like that. Even if it was for a SUPPORT group. And it was because a group of religious bigots came to LJ and said essentially "EVERYONE thinks it's gross and that it's promoting CSA, we should ban it."

Like, strikethrough and boldthrough were a large part of what propelled AO3 out of a more unfocused conversation on one person's blog about hosting a site INTENDED for fandom content, into being an actual archive and nonprofit. And it's a large part of why you won't find AO3 banning topics that you find "gross".

Censorship is authoritarian and it will ALWAYS have more collateral damage than you can imagine.

guy whos not about to kill himself voice: im about to kill myself

guy who is about to kill himself: hey man whats up

Hi, i'm trans, disabled, can't work, and exist perpetually in need. I'm currently $30 overdrawn with $1200 worth of upcoming bills for the month of May. any and all help, only if you can, means the world. <3

wishlists + work

the overdraft is taken care of, so I'm at a whole $14 out of the $1200 I need this month, so everything helps

Make that $34/$1200!

$54/$1200

Reblogging this again now because DON’T GODDAMN FORGET

As a recovering Capitalism True Believer, and a former aspiring economist… this one hurts.

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

bonus it ALSO fills that dopamine hit of in-person shopping. “oh I didn’t go in looking for this but hmm, I’m tempted… I can’t resist… oh ho ho I have made some irresponsible decisions at the library today [carrying my stack of ten random books]” and then it doesn’t even matter if you don’t like them because a) free b) you’re gonna give them back anyway

Librarian here! Please please please please PLEASE do this! We don’t have any way to know if you read them, and we don’t care! We’re happy to see those books go out because that helps our stats. And that affects how much money we can get.

So grab that silly paperback romance, and maybe this new YA fantasy, oh and check for the new movies too! And don’t forget to check Libby and hoopla for music and ebooks and e-audio.
