I’m sorry friends, but “just google it” is no longer viable advice. What are we even telling people to do anymore, go try to google useful info and the first three pages are just ads for products that might be the exact opposite of what the person is trying to find but The Algorithm thinks the words are related enough? And if it’s not ads it’s just sponsored websites filled with listicles, just pages and pages of “TOP FIFTEEN [thing you googled] IMAGINED AS DISNEY PRINCESSES” like… what are we even doing anymore, google? I can no longer use you as shorthand for people doing real and actual helpful research on their own.

Time to drop some links again.

– https://searchmysite.net/ Search engine for the indie web, personal websites, digital gardens. You can also find them in websites like Neocities, Indieweb, Blogarama, and write.as. There is also a big list of personal websites.

– https://search.marginalia.nu/ Search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and promotes websites that aren’t usually at the top of the list.

– https://www.worldcat.org/ Search engine for items in libraries (books, but also maps, articles, sound recordings, theses, etc.)

– https://scholar.google.com/ Search engine for scientific papers, reviews, etc. It’s still google, but a lot better than the normal search engine counterpart.

– https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines A list of search engines sorted by subject, area, and more. If you’re searching on a specific area, it might be worth checking if there is one focused on that area.

– https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_academic_databases_and_search_engines A list of academic databases and search engines.

– https://tineye.com/ Reverse image search alternative to Google’s. Also, P.S.: Please stop using Google, and start using more privacy focused search engines, like DuckDuckGo or SearchX (opensource; personally haven’t used it yet, but it looks promising for privacy-focused users)

Sung Promise

The flesh melds and folds over itself as the greened bloody chains tighten and slacken with a threat of death.

A threat to steel away anatomy.

A threat to take away the loved’s soul.

A threat to hold over one’s soul.

Face smashed into an unrecognizable mess, hands and flesh rumple and extend to hold on to hope as the chains tighten and crack and renew to hold.

To contain.

To control.

To destroy.

Then shatter, then renew, beg and scream, then swear and break, then renew and weep. They screech, demand, kill, anger, break, then scream again.

And again...

And again...

And again....

And another screams.

She stops rushing through the air. Staring down at the one that awakened, who stared back with flowing tears. He shrinks away.

Her flames slowed and decrease in size, her enlarged fangs grow smaller as her eyes return from raging fearful reds to oranges. She breathes. Her nonexistent throat shutting.

The child, with a glimpse through the tears, reaches out with familiarity to the ghost holding him.

She holds him closer, cowering and closing and protecting him with her body as her core cracks and heals and cries apology after apology after apologyafterapology.

The warmth spreads through him as he cries and weeps holding and clutching onto his dearest and safest one as she purrs and hums to chase away his tears.

Her core hums about the stars above and her stolen voice sings about protecting and loving.

It feels like everything as it sounds like nothing.

The swinging of child asking to go higher and higher.

The tapping of a ballet dancer's feet as they prepare to jump.

The sizzling of food on the stop as a couple dance through the kitchen.

The childs' tight hugs as they begin their first day of school.

The dog jumping and played alongside its younger siblings.

The crows huddling to their eggs for warmth.

A cat purring and stretching under the sunlight.

Flowers and leafs fluttering about.

Snowball fights and hot drinks

The laughter of children in a tickle fight.

A person's first kiss.

The adults' marriage vow.

Lazy days.

And night's of the moon, stars and planets.

A song.

A beautiful life.

And a promise she intends to keep.

----

Hurried running of children sound across the rooms, the white bland wall allow the signs to pop out. It anchors them through the hollow walls.

The nurse, through his teary eyes and closed throat catches one of the children helping his wheel bound friend to get closer to the windows, and in a cracking voice asks what they're doing.

"The angels here!" they reply.

And run to window nearest to them.

The nurse walks to them and stands near the bald child with wires attached to them. They sit unable to reach the window.

The child holds out a hand without removing their eyes of the black polluted clouds. And the nurse holds it. They smile, breathes calm and steady.

"The angel came." the child falls limp.

Two women buckle on the balcony as an embrace of life, of a new beginning covers them like blankets. Plants around them fluttered as their hold tightened neither wanting to let go.

A man stands from his desk, ringing his phone and waiting patiently as regret rushes through his veins. He moves closer to his tiny window and opening to feel the air

His mother answers.

An elder sitting around the fire beside the others in an alley way, holds up a torn and faded photo. The others hold each other and stare at the darkness above them, each muttering and hiding tears.

The elder brings the photo to their lips then their fore head as they smile for the last time.

The reporter delivering news fallters and quietens, none of her coworkers speak until she asks if they could feel it.

The all answer.

The man in the sewers repeats his rhyme in hastened pace till he reaches the surface. Once he stands above, his voice flatters and reaches his hand above as warmth and calm spreads through him.

His reptilian friend follows without a sound.

They all watch and listen to the silence, as beauty, appreciation and life flows through them without knowing who brought it upon them.

'I love you' she says.

They all loved her back.

TO THOSE MAKING NATIVE OCS

I see this a lot, no one has actual names, or any reference for names, that are legit Native American, varying among the tribes, for their characters.

Babynames.com and shit like that will give you names made up by white people.

However, I’ve got your solution.

Native-Languages  is a good website to turn to for knowledge on a lot of native things, including native names. If you’re unsure about the names you’ve picked, they even have a list of made up names here!

Please don’t trust names like babynames.com for native names, they’re made up and often quite offensive to the cultures themselves.

Thank you!

Native Languages is a great website. I use it for my fact-checking since it always has reliable links to tribal sites.

This has been a PSA.

I’m trying not to reblog posts on this blog but I feel that this is important to post here.

on a related note:

And for the people asking “Well if you don’t support it irl then why would you like it in fiction?!” Because when it’s happening irl real people are suffering and dying and that’s horrible and I’d never want that. But when it’s fiction, when no real people are being hurt or killed, it’s interesting to explore the experience, the effects it may have, and to an extent experience the emotions involved without actually having to experience the horrible thing. You explore scary, dangerous things from a safe distance.

This.

Reblog to give the person you reblogged from the ability to finish their WIPs

DP X DC PROMPT- (Fic that I'd totally probably might write)

Jason had learned from being a Robin to being Red Hood to expect a lot of things, from fighting the deranged to expecting the unexpected like daina (WONDER WOMAN!) being mind controlled.

But he never expected this.

He usually doesn't come here to begin, not after- after it happened, but he does each time whenever the pits wants to remind hims of what he could have lost. (What he lost, how it hurt hurt hurt. How HE hurt them. He knows that even if they forgive him, they'll never trust him again. The pit laughs from behind)

But tonight, in front of him sat someone?something? what appears to be a teenager from 14 to 16, with red hair that flickers similar to a flame and skin too pale and ears too pointy.

But it?she? sat on one of the headstone with her eyes glazed, too deep in her own thoughts.

A series of bubbles cut her off. She proceeded to put the baby (that seemed completely human) on her shoulder and allowed him to burb. Then cocooned him in blankets and hummed him to sleep.

Right now, he isn't red hood (or Robin). And his gun may not affect her, that is if the child belongs to someone else. (Did the parents give them to her? Or is she related? Have any alarms of a breakout occur that a meta? experiments? escape?).

(He sounds like Bruce.)

"A penny for your thoughts?"

The girl had her eyes on the child, with a small sad smile and flickers of flaming hair. "Just..."

"Just wondering what my grave would have looked like."

He sucked a breath.

"That ones yours...right?"

The girl (child ghost holy fuck!) nodded her head to his own grave. "Y-yeah...it's mine."

"It's beautiful... And well cleaned...They must've cared a lot, mister Jason."

He never thought about that. A well taken grave describes a caring family wouldn't it? (They do care! How is it still clean though?)

"Yeah...but uh...um...What's up with the..the baby?" Is the baby alive?

"Oh...Noone will take care of my baby boy... So.. I had to come back..."

She pushed back a few strands of black hair with tender eyes and the lightest touch. As if he where the most fragile crystle.

Jason could see himself in the child. All loved to the point his own mother would give up everything just for him. Except it was Bruce, it was Bruce that took him in and loved him. Standing beside his bed during nightmares when he cried and taking away the monsters. Sitting with Alfred, cooking together and exchanging stories.

(His family loved him. His family loves him.)

"Would you like to fly with me?"

Robin made me magic

He keeps wiping his face while she put the baby in a safer position. "We can have a brawl for fun after I put little Danny in his bed a-" she stopped mid scentence when looking at him

He sputtered. " Is something wrong?"

With fear in her eyes she floated, creating distance between both of them. She shaked her head in disbelief.

"You...you died..."

He took a step farther, not wanting to scare them away.

"But..b-but your... nononono why do you look like that?!"

He wanted to ask like what, but she disappeared before his eyes. (Did she know he wasn't safe? That he hurt his family?)

...

Beep

"Hey Jaylad, is the pit be-

"B-Bruce"

"Jason, what's wrong? Are yo- what happend?"

"I'm sorry, I'm s-so sorry, I'm sorry! Dad I'm sor-"

"I'm coming, hang in there."

"Little Wing what's wrong?"

"Todd, who hurt you? Who should I kill?"

"Jason, back ups close. Breath with me, alright!"

(His family loves him)

(The pits were silenced)

_______________________________________

In an alternative universe the Fenton are still driving around and setting up traps, unfortunately Jazz is the one who removes them and got caught.

Since jazz is the one that doesn't wear hazmats and dany is still a baby (she makes sure is far from their experiments with ectoplasm), she becomes a ghost who decides that she doesn't want Danny to get hurt and takes him somewhere near a lot of ectoplasm.

Gotham: sweet baby girl, little baby harley.

Let the drama begin.

I hate that I laughed at this

“Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there,” and another one appears. And dodges the downward sweep of claws, darting to the side, bouncing off the pentagram’s barriers, and tripping over the demon’s tail. “In the Vatican!” she cries out as she moves, using the State Farm Agent summoning charm to modify the situation as she was taught, and mentally thanking her trainer for expecting her to be fast enough to do it on the first incantation.

Most State Farm agents, when they run into trouble, have to get the customer to do the jingle a second time. That guy with the buffalo was lucky.

The magic takes hold, and she materializes in the aisle of St. Peter’s Basilica, still holding the demon by the tail, in the middle of Sunday morning Mass. The music clatters unprofessionally to a halt as laypeople, deacons, priests, monks, nuns, and the Pope all turn their attention to the surprised demon whose fifth course of dinner has turned, unaccountably, into a visit to one of his least favorite places on Earth.

There is chanting in Latin, and vaguely cross-shaped gestures, and clouds of incense, and the demon vanishes in a puff of smoke, whether from the efforts of the clergy or of his own volition no one can say. The Agent doesn’t wait, fleeing towards the doors and escaping in the confusion.

She gains the exit and walks, purposefully, toward Rome proper; there, she ducks into the nearest alley. A burner cell phone comes out of one of the less-used pockets of her purse, and she dials a number from memory.

“Allstate,” says a smooth masculine voice after three rings.

“State Farm,” she answers. “I’m calling in a favor.”

“Yeah?” Interest. “What sort?”

As she talks she’s pulling out her smartphone, keying an app that was activated by the summoning, and pulling up the policyholder data that enabled the incantation to work.

“Insurance fraud,” she said, and can almost hear teeth sharpening on the other end of the line. She gives him the name, the address, the policy number. “Someone needs some mayhem.”

“That’s my name,” the man says.

She smiles. “Someone needs all the mayhem.”

He chuckles. Slow. Evil. Even with the echoes of demonic laughter ringing in her ears, she’s impressed. “Don’t worry,” he says, almost purring.

“You’re in good hands.”

OH MY FUCKING GOD I just read insurance commercial fan fiction and it was so good, bless you, I’m going to remember this day forever.

Genuinely getting a bit tired of having to explain over and over even if its through a redirection to a pinned video. That since the curse is written as a disability metaphor among other things. That yes that also makes Lilith disabled.

Yes! She may not be as experienced with her disability/curse (as said BY EDA during plans for the DOU) but she is still disabled! If I’m not mistaken it’s mentioned how she struggles with it in a letter to Hooty? Anyway. She’s disabled! Later in life vs Eda’s teenage years but it still counts.

QUICK WHOS IN JERSEY???

Breaking news! Vicky Vale leaks footage of Brucie Wayne following the new teenage rogue 'Phantom' around the city saying "Please let me adopt you 😭"

Phantom refuses and saying he's a supervillian not a lost puppy.

Turns out this was a part of Bruces plan however as Phantom now sees people all over tv talking about him and the Waynes and already considering him a new member of the family. They're even asking when there will be a face reveal. There was a reason he was wearing a mask! He. Is.. A. Villian. What about that do these people not get?!

Sure he doesn't kill people. Or hurt people at all really. Or steal from small family owned businesses. Or...yeah ok. Just because you're a bad guy doesn't mean you have to be a bad guy, ya know? Apparently Gotham doesn't.

Cause they insist hes just a very confused hero

Oh no! Poor Danny! Just imagine if he's that one vvillain who keepa accidentally saving the day.

Releases a gas attack that makes people sleep? Knocks out Joker too. Steals money from a rich dude? Actually a mobster, Danny crippled his crime fund. Kidnaps a kid for random? Kids being abused and it comes out dying the negotiations.

Just, Danny not being able to effectively crime at all. And frankly, Gotham would love their funky little crime baby who can do do no wrong. Look, he's trying not be a mobster it's cute. Gotham is a city of crime and curses. They love their baby crime lord. He pays his people well. Protects them. Puts money into local charity to help his neighbours. He's like Red Hood lite.

Jason finds it hilarious. This poor kid is trying so hard to be scary. And it just doesn't happen. Yes he is slowly building a crime family. But everything they do just uncovers corruption and abuse. Of course Jason has realised that's not the kids intent. He's pretty sure Gotham herself is causing it to Fuck with the kid. But he enjoys watching. And hey, if he offers some advice and a willing ear? Maybe he can get the kid to do it on purpose. He clearly has a talent for it!

Now I'm just imagining that Jazz shows up at some point. And like, Phantom? He's Baby (TM) Gotham adores him and his absolute in ability to successfully Crime.

Phantom's big sister?

Fucking Terrifying.

And it's all just *vibes* and misunderstandings. Jazz is actively trying to Not Crime and just Be Normal while also supporting Danny's (failing) Villain Era because he's not actually hurting anyone and he could use the release of not being the hero who has to take on all the responsibility. And his Goons are so sweet!

But look, that Mob Boss he (accidentally) robbed? Yeah he's pretty much wiped out funds wise but he still has *enough* money to organize people going after Danny in revenge. And Jazz is Not Having That thank you very much.

She scares the mob boss so much when he shows up with his boys (thankfully Danny wasn't there) that he has an actual heart attack. And look she tried to save him! She did CPR! She called for an ambulance! It's not her fault his heart was one more snort of coke away from stopping and she didn't even get Liminal on him! She just threatened him in a (largely) normal human way! Sure the sword might have been overkill but he was threatening her brother!

And yeah okay she *might* have been secretly following Danny around at night to make sure he was safe (old habits die hard) and she *might* have been a touch eldritch while she was doing it. It's easier to hide in the shadows if you don't have a tangible form! It's not her fault that she loses her human shape and sorta becomes inconprehensible to non-ghost folk that do end up seeing her and that sometimes people's minds sorta break a little if they stare for too long. The psychosis is temporary!

She doesn't regret what happened with the Joker. Danny hated clowns and the evil little shit started it, not her fault he couldn't leave well enough alone. He's not even dead (technically) she should get points for that he threatened to kill Danny!

Just like:

Danny, in the midst of another crime spree: Fear me!

Gotham: Baby Boy. Baby.

Jazz, just sorta standing in the background trying to mind her own business and keep her brother safe: *smiles and waved politely*

Gotham: Evil.

They finally ask her about his attempts to crime and she describes it as a nice low-stakes way to destress from his previous life. The adoption attempts intensify.

Jazz: He needed a holiday you kniw? He was under so much pressure. I helped as much as I could! And I am going to be here to make sure he is safe!

Gotham: Ah, she will murder people to keep him safe. Good to know. The baby has scary back up. Good good. Wait. Baby was being hurt? Who by? We just wanna talk!

Jazz: Oh don't worry! I already sorted it the problem! It's why it took me so long to get here to keep an eye on my brother!

Gotham: ohh. Ok. Well. Good to know! *Fuck she's scary*

Bruce out here lioe, gotta keep Dick away from her. He will try to climb her like a tree. Fuck. At least the child is safe? Good good.

Lmao. Bruce contains Dick only to turn around and see Jason flirting with her instead. Dick is making a fuss about Bruce betraying him. Cass and Steph are out making sure Phantom isn't causing problems aka they're watching him while munching on separate bags of m&ms and Jazz is flirting back with Jason

Phantoms gonna freak out a bit when he learns about Jazzs new boyfriend. Gonna have to shovel talk him somehow. Danny thought he had done a good job when he saw Jason looking up at him in fear, not realizing that Cujo had shifted into his Big Form behind him and that was what Jason was staring at.

love wins actually

This works as an answer to the metaphorical problem because the key is for the hedgehogs and prcupines to be a bit flexible about how they position themselves and keep thier spines pointed in such a fashion to minimize poking, just like how in human relationships you have to be a bit flexible and concious of your position relative to others, and to manage your sharp bits to minimize the harm you do to others.
