I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

danny, lost his last braincell to death disease at fourteen: i. ate ectoplasm?

maddie: straight?!

danny: uh… no i warmed it up and. dipped. my tator tots in it.

maddie, disappointed mother and very excited scientist: what did it taste like

Eridians are further behind than humans technologically right? They dont have computers, relativity, quantum mechanics, etc. In fact, Eridians probably dont even know about the Big Bang because their atmosphere would filter out most of the cosmic microwave background radiation we use to detect it. On a human timeline, theyre anywhere between like early-mid 20th century. Rocky's basically a cosmonaut.

So the human civilization is pretty advanced from Rocky's perspective. Rationally he understands this. On a conceptual level he knows this to be true.

Like imagine being a modern day sailor navigating the Pacific with GPS and strong hulls to protect against the raging ocean. And from portside you see like an honest to god viking ship. Except its made of some high tech carbon fiber material. But like, its still very definitely a viking ship. You can clearly see there's 24 oars along the hull where sailors are supposed to use to manually row their ship. Also the ship is leaking and theres like one little dude on board whos skittering around patching the holes constantly. Also this little dude is blind and doesnt know about water. Thats how insane Eridians look being an interstellar species without computers or radiation shielding.

I will admit I REALLY like the recent improvements they've added to tumblr's search (you can exclude terms now!! you can search multiple tags!! and time frames!!) so it's not like they're incapable of adding useful features. it might be mutually beneficial for us as users if we were more vocal about things we want and don't want. Some features I'd like to see added:

spoilerable text

spoilerable images

the return of hover text!! remember when we had that?

ability to embed videos in reblogs

ANIMATED GIF ICONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

the ability to turn off other people's animated gif icons

the ability to filter original posts on a user's ENTIRE blog, not just a tag/search

more html support, like what if we could build tables

adding reactions to replies! I'm glad we can like them more but it'd be nice if we could take this further

embeddable tiktoks?? I don't even use tiktok but I remember trying to embed one in like 2020 and I'm surprised we still can't! even vines were able to be embedded

being able to search in your DMs. not being able to do this is why I tend to redirect mutuals to discord

MUTING USERS POSTS/COMMENTS WITHOUT BLOCKING THEM! just cause I don't want to see someone's posts doesn't mean I don't want us to never interact ever

a mutual-only dashboard feed

a feed for the blogs you're subscribed to

get rid of tumblr tv lmao I've literally never used it

"mark as read" button for communities without opening them

please dear god no AI shit unless it's a way for me to filter/block it easier

Finally, they manage to intercept one of the actual shipments of organs.

It’s sickening, but they get to work taking genetic tests on all the different “products” to see if they can match them to any missing persons cases.

They quickly realize that every last organ is genetically identical. Meaning the group is either far larger than they thought and running a whole cloning operation, or is repeatedly harvesting a single meta. Either option would be horrible in its own way.

But there’s also something far more unsettling.

Which is kinda lucky that he ended up appearing in Gotham. Very few places is the combination of empty buildings full of abandoned machinery and lab stuff plus being able to go mostly unnoticed as a teen wandering around. In the beginning Danny spent most of his time in his ghost form as hiding a body is way harder in a city than in a tiny town in rural America. Thank the Ancients for the actual 10ft crocodiles in the sewers.

But back to the original post. All the organs are a 100% genetic match to each other. And because I like to think there is a little residual ectoplasm that reacts to Danny’s will he is accidentally willing the organs to be excepted by whatever new body it is put into making it pretty much always work. However that residual ectoplasm registers in the bat computer as trace amounts of Lazarus water.

Yeah we just made this so much more emotional and personal for the Bat clan.

So, it's clearly a different person entirely. Not a clone.

But, because of the 'Lazarus Water' in his blood, when shady doctors decided to sell his organs to receivers they knew wouldn't match, the organs changed their DNA's antigens to suit the new host. So the blood type changes to the one it's being donated to after a bit. Thus, making the organs more valuable to doctors and patients. It's also found that, after multiple patients have proven this, there's no need to take anti rejection medications. The organs behave as if they've come from the very body they were placed in.

And once the JL gets some of these patients? There's no Lazarus Water in their bodies after the first month. This also happens to the other organs that weren't given to donors after three months. But, they started melting. So they have a time limit to use them. Same goes for any 'donations' from this Meta: from blood to bone to stem cells. If it wasn't used, it'd melt. But it could be used for anyone.

Though, even more surprising was the collection of Vampires that have been getting in the JL's way. Apparently, they've also noticed some things about this Meta. They're the doctors that were taking a good amount of these organs and blood to save patients. But they were using being back alley clinics to get away with drinking blood bags. The blood from this Meta allowed them to walk in sunlight again. To be around humans without hunger. It solved their budding madness and made them appear more human. On top of that? Some of them felt their hearts start up again.

To the Vampire community, this Meta is practically a Saint.

Which also means that they'll fight tooth and nail to protect him.

Even the Talons, who were given blood transfusions to stay 'alive' longer, are also trying to guard this Meta. Grundy is also roped in.

the whole “living” thing is besides the point anyways

After successfully gaining a job as a Stuntman, he didn’t know what he signed himself up to do but he took multiple classes to prepare and fell in love with the profession. His powers letting him further excel in his career as things like flight, intangibility, and duplication all were things that studio heads were delighted of as it lessened the cost of production.

Stuntman don’t get a lot of recognition by average film goers which is fine for Danny. Staying under the radar and living a normal life is all he could ever ask for.

Sadly for Danny, that anonymity didn’t last forever. Danny was hired as a stunt performer in a 90s satire esque autobiography movie written and starring the Gotham Billionaire Bruce Wayne.

During an on set interview midway though Bruce explaining to the interviewer that Hot Shots was his biggest inspiration for this film, Danny casually walked behind the set, just trying to get to the costume department and thinking nothing of being temporarily on camera behind the Billionaire.

I find the idea of 'giving the most paranoid man alive a kinda unsettling but relatively harmless dobbelgänger who is in no shape or form biologically related to him' beautiful.

They cut him up, use his blood for the sigil, and have him bound in the middle of it.

Like, Danny doesn't have a pulse, so is Wally's pulse of 275 BPM slow, fast, or regular ? Is the amount of blood worrisome or deadly?

He really hopes that stupid song won't be the last thing he thinks about.

The drugs they got him with must've been pretty damn potent. He can barely feel his fingers and toes. Everything feels muted and slow, he wonders if this is dying.

The green glow of the candles flare brighter and Wally closes his eyes to the bright light. Hopefully Barry or someone will come soon. A sudden yelp makes him open his eyes again.

A kid. Probably 16, black hair, blue eyes, Wayne adoption bait, whispers through his mind. Also, terrified. He's yelling something, Wally tries to focus. Oh, ouch. He's pressing on the bigger wound on his right arm. Huh, his head flopped to look at his arm. Thats... a lot of blood.

"Are humans supposed to bleed this much?" Finally registered and Wally has to stifle a giggle. No probably not.

The kid frowned. Huh, maybe he said that aloud. "What are normal human people's heart rates supposed to be? Because I think they're supposed to sit like around 200bpm? And yours is like 275 right now?" Wally slowly glances down at his very obvious hero outfit, which while yes was cut up and covered in blood, was still a hero outfit.

"Do y'not know who I am?" He slurred as his vision started to waver on the edges.

"Uhhh. No? Should I? Are you like famous or something?" He muttered. Wally felt cool air like a winter breeze wash over his arm, the boy moves to another wound and Wally can see what looks like ice bandages slowly stopping the bleeding.

"M'kid Fl'sh " He muttered petulant. "Right right, of course you are. And that cleared everything up." The kid said, clearly not knowing who he was.

Everything blurred. Muffled voices, yelling, flashes of light and smoke.

Silence.

Look, Danny knows not all of the ghosts from the Zone are human, ok?

Skulker is an alien, Wulf is from another dimension, and Frostbite's ancestral world don't even have planets.

You can meet any ghost from any world and any time period, it's only one of the infinite weird things about the Realms.

So it wasn't a big deal when Danny asked Walker to teach him his mother tongue. Just an attempt to reduce the communication error with the guy, and maybe an effort to get to know his Zone neighbors better.

Generic ghost speak can only get them so far after all.

And ok, Danny wasn't expecting to get actual language books and fucking homeworks from the warden, but whatever. Walker is stuffy like that. It's actually pretty sweet of him to give Danny all of these materials, and Danny can appreciate that.

It might have, unfortunately, slipped Danny's mind to ask more about Walker's origins. Although to be fair, learning an alien language wouldn't be a problem normally, it shouldn't be.

If not for that cursed Fenton luck.

How in the realms is Danny supposed to know Walker is Kryptonian??? Walker acts nothing like Superman, how is Danny supposed to connect the two dots?!

Clark is panicking cause this kid is speaking his dead mother tongue in a dialect he's not familiar with, and hey, so uhm, why does this kid have a worryingly slow heart rate???: How.

Danny, sweatdropping: I uh... I went to prison one time??

Clark, in a shrill voice: you're like twelve.

Danny: Yeah, you tell that to Walker. And I'm fourteen!!

“Warden Wal-Ker of the Phantom Zone prison… he is teach me on the lost culture… the language written and speak. I am young there? I am born?? Uh… created in Phantom Zone passage. Gate. Uh. Not fun. Bad time. Pain. Wal-Ker lives in - no not lives, die? No. Uh. Am still learn. Sorry. Warden Wal-Ker die in prison. His job. His forever job passion is warden. He prison me, then learn I am created in Phantom Zone gate, then he teach me. Uh, I am Phantom. Hello. What is your names?”

I'm planning to get my 1st tattoo this month (flash, for a fundraiser), for context. I've been worried about how well I'll be able to sit for it as I have little frame of ref, outside of knowing I have a decent pain tolerance in other situations. I was eating chips & salsa leftover from yesterday and started wondering whether there's any correlation between tolerating spice well and sitting well for a tattoo while I waited for my mouth to stop burning. I kinda doubt there is, but I'm curious enough to make a poll anyhow.
