No Clue

An ai picture of my favorite character doesn’t make me feel anything other than “hey my favorite character, I wonder who drew this- oh… dammit”

Hell, even when I was in pain (I often have pain with no real medical reason on different spots like my wrists, specific finger joints, knees etc) and writing made it worse I would just force myself to keep writing at school because the adults were stupid and were just going to claim that I was just “making excuses cause I didn’t want to write”:

There are poke bowls in my city from a local place for $16. Super fresh fish and veg, warm rice, more than I can eat in one sitting, for the price of a sandwich and a drink at america's most mid-tier sandwich shop.

I KNOW.

So I immediately bought an order of each and had 4 delicious musubi and a drink for less than a combo at Burger King.

And that’s Danny ‘King-of-scrappy-I-will-throw-sand-in-your-eyes-for-an-advantage’ Nightingale saying that. Alas there is no sand here. Only concrete. 

Oh, those ice beams are getting awful close. Oh wow, okay, maybe the Flash is going to actually die right now. Is Danny about to witness murder? Huh.

Captain Cold just stands there bewildered. Before dropping it because it burned his hand.

“What the fuck kid?!”

This is makin me giggle real hard. Imagine Cold trying to get back at Danny, but no, he can't make it obvious because Captain Cold is so obviously above targeting some - some guy. No Flash, why would some dickwad college student have any place in his mind? Don't you know, he's busy being Serious and Schemeing.

On 23 October last year (2024) the New York Times published an interview with former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji who worked on organising and gathering data for OpenAI until 2022 when he begun thinking about the morality of it. He eventually came to the conclusion that what OpenAI is doing blatantly violates copyright law and decided to leave the company altogether in August 2024.

After he came out with this accusation he was set to appear in court to testify against OpenAI’s data-gathering practices, something which had the potential of being a complete disaster for the company and the generative AI industry as a whole.

That was until 26 November, just days before he was due to appear in court, when he suddenly and mysteriously was found dead inside his own apartment. Investigators concluded that the death was self-inflicted, something which his family has disputed.

There was also “sign of struggle in the bathroom and looks like someone hit him in the bathroom based on blood spots”, and his apartment showed signs of having been ransacked for evidence: “The pin drive is missing. His computer was messed up.”.

Overall it feels pretty clear-cut what happened, that is to say that OpenAI had him killed because he was a legitimate threat to their business, indicating that they are fully aware that the way they’re gathering data is completely illegal.

And there actually was an investigation, but it concluded that it was suicide: https://apnews.com/article/boeing-whistleblower-suicide-9fe771a97c5745b9c53f24c04141e474

It is possible that it was suicide (which doesn't make Boeing look any better, obviously), but I wouldn't be surprised if the "surveillance footage" was doctored in some way, especially since another Boeing whistleblower, Joshua Dean, also died after he testified: https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/05/07/boeing-whistleblower-deaths/

That being said, the deaths motivated even more whistleblowers to come forward against Boeing: https://fortune.com/2024/05/09/more-boeing-whistleblowers-emerge-law-firm/

Danny is the reason Batman has his utility belt. Why he's prepared for 'anything. everything.'

you see, when they were kids, Danny's family took a trip. To study ectoplasm in other cities. They did this alot when Danny and Jazz were little, while they were waiting for funding for the portal to come through or for contractors to finish doing repair work on their home. On this occasion they were gone longer than usual for one reason or another.

Which gave young Danny and Jazz ample time to make friends. They were in Wayne Tower. Their parents in one meeting or another. Jazz found herself an out-of-the-way office in which she could start on the classwork she was missing. Danny found himself in the basement, where all the failed projects went to die. and started tinkering, fooling around.

Eventually a morose boy named Bruce joined him. Though he didn't say much beyond his name. and seemed to do his own work. Though he kept having to stop to get one thing or another, always illprepared for the task at hand when he sat down for the day.

When it was time for the Fentons to head back to Amity, little Danny Fenton handed the forlone Bruce a toolbelt. One filled with more pockets and items than it should realistically be able to fit. One that was promised to 'always have exactly what you need, when you need it"

The justice league are in a bout of trouble and Constantine is summoning someone from “the place in between everything” as he said. Batman had already been fiddling with his belt, he was worried what something from the “in between” would want as payment or if it would decide to be aggressive instead of willing to help.

Just as he once again starts to reconsider this Constantine stops chanting and a tear in space sparkled with constellations opens up showering the surrounding area in a toxic green glow, he reaches into one of the many pockets and finds…. nothing? That can’t be right it’s always had something whether it’s been easily understood as useful or just barely what he needed there was always something… The belt seemed to be vibrating lightly as well, almost as if it were excited.

A massive figure stepped out of the tear, the figure’s head was adorned with a crown that reminded him of the aurora borealis that he saw while training in the north sat atop the figures head, a cloak billowed around the man and underneath just barely visible was some form of protective suit akin to that you’d seen in a lab utilizing hazardous materials. The figure felt of death, the feeling reminding him of the horrendous lazarus pits.

The man looked around while asking where and why he has been summoned before stopping mid sentence and zeroing in on him before a smug smirk came across his face. And spoke in a voice he didn’t recognize but screamed of familiarity:

“Bruce! It’s been 16 years, you still owe me 30 dollars”

Before Bruce could stop himself he responded in a way that is much more lax than he has ever spoken as batman:

“Fuck off”

Cue the justice league all collectively shitting themselves at Batman owing some great being money and telling them to fuck off while Danny is having a great time and Bruce is confused on why the man is familiar

(Yes my little continuation of op’s idea is based on this)

You wanna find a child predator? Go look at politicians, pastors, cops, etc.

Jason’s death led to the Rogues turning against the Joker—especially Harley. By then, she had already realized the extent of his abuse and had left him. So when she learned that her favorite Robin—a tough Crime Alley kid—had been beaten to death by her ex the first time she wasn’t around, she went ballistic.

Once, a newcomer held Nightwing at gunpoint and tried to unmask him on live television. When Harvey Dent saw how close this was to his own hideout, he knew he couldn’t let it slide. He wasn’t blind or foolish—he knew exactly who Nightwing was. The first Robin. A ray of sunshine—badass yet kind. Harvey took only a second to recall how that same little Robin had once helped him through a dissociative episode, choosing to assist rather than arrest him. And that was enough. The newcomer was never seen again.

As much as Damian disliked how close Catwoman was to his father, Selina adored the little kitten. He was honest, fierce, and compassionate in his own way. She loved that he shared her fondness for cats and animals. So when the shelter Damian volunteered at was attacked by Black Mask’s goons, Selina made sure that by the end of the month, Roman wouldn’t have a single piece of art left in his collection.

Eddie could hardly deny that his favorite Robin was the third one. After all, that particular little bird not only respected him as the Riddler but could also solve all his riddles effortlessly. So when a few goons rudely barged into their monthly riddle session, Eddie was not amused. He made sure they knew it.

But I need more of Ghostling Jason Todd adopted by Danny

Especially if Jason is built like a fridge and Danny is still like 14 in human years

But Jason is like, at 17-19 in human years but in ghost terms he’s at most an older toddler and Danny , a sassy child,sees Jason and like

“Who’s sassy lost baby is this”

And just adopt him?decides”mine, he’s my sassy lost baby”

Jason with a smirk he can’t hide while taking a cookie: Sure dad

Damian despite himself: Vegan chocolate chip cookies?

Danny smiling widely: *puts down a plate of cookies before popping away again*

Damian: *after watching Jason eat a cookie and go for another decides “why not, Jason seems to know em” and grabs a cookie*

Rest of the batfam except Bruce in unison: Jason WTF?!

Bruce: *error 404, brain not computing*

Hours later

Alien1: hey, when did you hire a human?

Alien 2: we didn't. They just wandered aboard one day, saying they wanted to "hitch a ride." Then they never left. I think they like it here.

Alien 1: the human distribution system has chosen.

***

Alien stares at the human, who has climbed up a very high shelving unit.

Alien: Human, get down before you hurt yourself.

The humans response is to climb higher.

***

Alien is secretly filming their human, who is spaced out and just staring at nothing.

Cat’s don’t have any innate characteristic behaviors, everything you see a cat do that makes you think “cat” was learned from being raised by another cat. This is why cats raised around dogs sometimes end up learning to pant and try to bark instead of meow, etc etc.

Now expand that to humans: humans don’t really have any innate behaviors either other than crying and other similar baby things (by baby things I mean things we do unconsciously as a baby like crying for attention and for comfort) so imagine a human raised near aliens being so much different than a human exclusively raised human
