10 or 11 little ducks have been spotted crossing the dash board
Saw pics of Ashley Eckstein bouncing around in cute new star wars gear and had to draw Ahsoka wearing it too 😅 (except the shoes - they’re mine)
bro you're seizing the day too much you're gonna give yourself carpal diem
this is a message for everyone who is 22. if you’re 22 please stop worrying. take a deep breath eat a bagel maybe. everything that feels impossible is going to work itself out. have a great day
do u have a message for 25 year olds
uhhhhh 2 bagels?
I'm 32. When I was in my early twenties, I overheard a pair of 50ish year old women talking about the ideal age to stay at permanently. One said, "Everyone says 25. I wouldn't want to be in my twenties forever. Everything is hard and you get upset too easily."
Hearing her say that helped me so much. I thought about it countless times. Every time things felt overwhelming, I remembered what she said. The words of this total stranger, who wasn't even talking directly to me, brought me a lot of comfort, so I hope they can help you, too.
Imagine Danny Fenton working as a security gaurd at Arkum Asylum. Like, he jokes around with the inmates, makes horrible puns, try to get his stick in the mud coworkers to crack a smile. Nobody would take this bean pole seriously. Not noticing the lean muscle underneath his skin, or the way he surveys every room he enters in an instance. He's become a favorite with several inmates like Harley and the Riddler; not afraid to make witty comebacks and banter. There is just one thing though. He tells them one day if they ever try to escape they best do it when he's off the clock because they won't otherwise. Don't mistake this for a challenge, its a warning, he informs them. And the most mysterious thing about this new gaurd is that there has yet to be a successful prison break when he's on duity. This kind of record in Arkum is unheard of. Who knows what kind of attention that might cause. Mabye even the curiosity of a certain local Vigilante.
If I were a villain trying to break out of Arkum and ran into Danny-freaky-ass- slendrman-looking-Fenton standing at the end of an unlit hall lookin’ into my soul with his dead fish eyes I’d turn right the fuck around.
Some punks with more guts than brains tried to charge him and Guard Fenton just stared them down until the inmates lost their nerve and wouldn’t get any closer than ten feet from Fenton. The lights flicker. He doesn’t move, doesn’t blink. The man might not even breathe. The feeling is similar to walking through the forest and stumbling across a bear standing in your path. Something that seems so friendly from a distance but you dare not cross in close quarters. Something that makes your heart fall out through the seat of your pants.
Hardened crooks who would willingly risk being tracked down by The Bat if they escaped won’t gamble their chances with Fenton. The guy simply has bad vibes, “horror movie vibes” as Harley so eloquently puts it. For everyone who has the good sense to stay put during Danny’s shift they get a bright, friendly smile and a congratulatory “Good choice” during his rounds later. Two words that feel suspiciously like dodging a bullet.
Fun Bonus Ideas:
Inmates place bets as to what kind of messed up stuff Fenton gets up to in has spare time to have such sketchy vibes. The most popular vote is serial killer. Another fan favourite guess is underground fighter, the Deathmatch variety.
At some point during his high school career Danny got tired of running off to transform into Phantom to fight ghosts and started throwing hands as Fenton. From an outside perspective this looks like Amity Park is full of metas and Danny Fenton has a history of getting into fights with them.
People who’ve been in Arkham for more than a month maintain an active betting pool regarding newer inmate activity vs That One Prison Guard
Newer inmates are like ???? Why the fuck do you let this guy push you around??? He’s a child like half your size???
Danny, directly behind them- breathing cool vapor down their necks with his spooky fukcn eyes:

greetings sir gaiman
i recently found out about the new season of good omens and figured, what the heck, might as well read the book for the first time. (love the book, by the way.) i haven't read an actual novel in a couple years now, but have started annotating on the pages to make the experience a little more interesting. my mother is... well, definitely not thrilled that i'm marking up your book.
so, what are your thoughts on people annotating novels? for or against?
Your book, your rules. Once you buy the book it's yours and you are allowed to do anything you want to it.
I personally have two copies. The white copy with Crowley on the front upon which Neil is listed as the first author is marked to Hell and back and has been bent and bruised in a way that I prefer to call “well loved.” My black copy with Aziraphale on the cover upon which Terry is listed first went straight from the bookstore shelf to my shelf and has not left there since except on the few occasions I have removed it to take photographs.
It’s also worth noting here that these are not my original two copies of Good Omens. I first read Good Omens in my freshman year of high school when I checked it out from my public library (support libraries) and subsequently went out and bought both copies (the same editions I have now) of the book from the book store with money that may or may not have been acquired in a completely legal way from my parents. Of that set, Neil’s went up in flames in a freak accident and Terry’s was inexplicably lost in my move to college.
The unfortunate result is that my current pair of copies has those awful “soon to be a TV series” and “now a TV series” stickers respectively, even though I purchased them at the same time from the same bookstore. On occasion, it makes me believe I appear to be a fake fan, and I have to remind myself that all Good Omens fans are Good Omens fans, even those that read the books after watching the series and those that have never read the books at all.
Realizing that Amok Time, from T'Pring's perspective, is basically the equivalent of a Vulcan Hallmark Movie, where a holiday (Pon Farr) makes our hero realize she wants hometown boy Stonn and a simple (Vulcan) life instead of big-city (space) boyfriend Spock, and it all comes to a head in an embarrassing misunderstanding in front of her family, is certainly making me feel some kind of way
I will never watch this episode the same again.
More of @thelastspeecher‘s Tiny Zuko! This time Zuko finds an unattended Earth Nation sword and than gets put on a leash so he doesn’t cause anymore trouble. The leash one (and the color) comes entirely from @muffinlance‘s post about feral cat Zuko. It’s just in this case he’s a feral pseudo-toddler.
Zuko doesn’t like shopping trips, he likes it even less when he’s stuck in a kids body and being forced to try on clothes. (Also yes that coat was Bato’s idea.)
Based on @thelastspeecher ‘s fic Shrunken Salvage, which is based on @muffinlance ‘s fic Salvage
every girl wants to get in a vehicle and flip 3-6 switches overhead in the process of turning it on
When I’m going to get frozen waffles and ramen from Walgreens.
More things should be operated with big thumb switches and knobs and dials and shit.
They don’t even have to turn anything on I just want to flip switches and push buttons

enough reclaiming slurs, I think in 2023 we should reclaim nascar. they banned the confederate flag on all properties & their stance on lgbtq+ isn’t just performative bc in 2013 they fined a driver 10k for using a homophobic slur, condemned indiana in a statement for an anti lgbt law, and partnered w carolina’s lgbt+ chamber of conference in 2022. nascar was founded by anti-cop moonshiners/bootleggers who drove suped-up fords to out-run the police. #yaaascar
HELP
To this day, my favorite argument I ever had was with my Nascar-loving family about how a thin blue line flag on a Nascar is antithetical to the core tenets of Nascar. There is no organization more rooted in ACAB than Nascar. Literally, the only reason it exists was that a bunch of moonshining families had to build cars that could outrun the cops while on supply runs during the Prohibition Era. The goal was to make the car look like a regular vehicle so they could pick up supplies or drop off illegal alcohol without arousing suspicion. But if the cops were on you all you had to do was put the pedal to the metal and that little truck could outrun them with no problems. And of course, families would be in competition over who made the best alcohol, and whose car was fastest. So, they would have races on the weekends. When prohibition was lifted, the races continued. And that is why we have Nascar. It really frustrates me how people look at American car culture and scoff at it. Formula One racing is more exciting and more dynamic to watch, but the history of it is not as interesting: a bunch of rich assholes who made specialized cars for racing. And to this day, it is still a rich man's sport. Whereas Nascar was about a bunch of so-called hicks in the backwoods who used some basic hand tools and trial and error to make a junker into a racecar.
