Btw much as I love to make fun of twitter and reddit's business decisions, I have 0% trust in tumblr's management to not go a similar route so this is your gentle reminder that you should regularly go to your blog settings to export your blog. That's a fancy way of saying you can download a backup of your blog so if everything goes down you'll still have a backup of your posts & convos.

versegm

It's gonna come as a surprise to most of you, but if you don't want to do that for whatever reason you're allowed to not reblog this post. I'm not holding a gun to your head here I'm just trying to spread the word for people who do want a backup of their stuff.

Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.

So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.

Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.

This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.

Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.

And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.

Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.

ekingston

SO HERE IS THE WHOLE STORY (SO FAR).

I am on my knees begging you to reblog this post and to stop reblogging the original ones I sent out yesterday. This is the complete account with all the most recent info; the other one is just sending people down senselessly panicked avenues that no longer lead anywhere.

IN SHORT

Cliff Weitzman, CEO of Speechify and (aspiring?) voice actor, used AI to scrape thousands of popular, finished works off AO3 to list them on his own for-profit website and in his attached app. He did this without getting any kind of permission from the authors of said work or informing AO3. Obviously.

When fandom at large was made aware of his theft and started pushing back, Weitzman issued a non-apology on the original social media posts—using

his dyslexia;

his intent to implement a tip-system for the plagiarized authors; and

a sudden willingness to take down the work of every author who saw my original social media posts and emailed him individually with a ‘valid’ claim,

as reasons we should allow him to continue monetizing fanwork for his own financial gain.

When we less-than-kindly refused, he took down his ‘apologies’ as well as his website (allegedly—it’s possible that our complaints to his web host, the deluge of emails he received or the unanticipated traffic brought it down, since there wasn’t any sort of official statement made about it), and when it came back up several hours later, all of the work formerly listed in the fan fiction category was no longer there.

THE TAKEAWAYS

1. Cliff Weitzman (aka Ofek Weitzman) is a scumbag with no qualms about taking fanwork without permission, feeding it to AI and monetizing it for his own financial gain;

2. Fandom can really get things done when it wants to, and

3. Our fanworks appear to be hidden, but they’re NOT DELETED from Weitzman’s servers, and independently published, original works are still listed without the authors' permission. We need to hold this man responsible for his theft, keep an eye on both his current and future endeavors, and take action immediately when he crosses the line again.

wrote deny defend depose on the bullets in sharpie

deliberately left behind a backpack in central park full of fucking monopoly money

and the cherry on top (so far) is that he potentially used a gun that was designed for veterinarians to put down sick animals

its art, its amazing, this is the best thing thats happened in like 10 years and he is my hero. Everything has felt so bleak and this is like a ray of light shining through the dark clouds into my soul

may they never catch him, and may we never find out who he was

Black Out AU

Tim meets Danny when he leaves the Wayne family after seeing that they didn’t see him as family, only a stand in. He gets stuck in Amity Park with its lock down and information black out. Whether Tim ended up in the city by accident or he went looking for it when he noticed that a city just suddenly stopped existing a few years prior is up to debate. Either way Tim does what he did years ago, bully the resident vigilante into letting him help. This time though he promises not to make the same mistake of trying to be anything more than teammates, not wanting to set himself up to more disappointment. Unfortunately for him Danny is very intrigued by this fellow vigilante, and thinks he would be a good Living friend. Ancients knows he needs more of those after the fallout with Sam and Tucker.

hdgnj

Meanwhile in Gotham the Batclan are having a collective freak out. What do you MEAN Tim left?!? Where the Fuck is he? He's somehow more off the map than during fucking BruceQuest!!!

Danny is so very friend shaped. And he definitely is trying his best to befriend his fellow vigilante. They get on great! And his team mate has his own house with a lab they can tinker in! Danny can be in a lab that's not dangerous to his existence! Danny's new person is so clever! And mean! He's fantastic! Danny is determined to friend him. Or marry him. He's not sure yet. But he will be his person dammit!

Tim does NOT know how to deal with this. Danny is just so happy(?!?) To have him around? At all times? He doesn't get mad at Tim? He doesn't test Tim? There are no mind fucky shenanigans. From Danny anyway. Danny just, tells him what he needs to know? Open communication? Affection? What is going on?!?!

catflowerqueen

#Tim leaves Gotham

#For Amity Park

#Look. There was a city that vanished from all public record

#He had to know what was going on

#He's probably going to have to contact the Justice League

#At some point

#But for now? Amity is his hidey hole

It would be funny if he found out Danny's identity as Phantom via Wes, and was literally the only one who believes Wes...

But keeps up the facade of not knowing when around Wes because he respects the sanctity of the secret identity and knows how dangerous it could be for Danny's to get exposed--whether around his parents or with the whole GiW and "legally non-sentient" deal.

He is more okay with Danny exposing Valerie's identity to her dad because he is a pure civilian family member who is actually a good dad and would never hurt her, in addition to the fact that Danny only exposed her identity in the first place because it was a genuine emergency situation and he was trying to save her life (by preventing her from going after Pariah in the ecto-skeleton--which was proven to be dangerous for humans to wear, and was also detrimental to Danny).

bianca-hooks123

Danny just loves him a dark haired base level human who is mean to him. That’s his type.

thatrandomsarahchick

After a good Fenton family reveal:

Jack: You live alone? That won't do! Here, let us build an extension on to the House for you to live in! Oh? You have a specialised diet? So do our kids! We've been having to feed them ecto- contaminated food since they were toddlers. What do you need to eat to make up for missing a spleen?

Tim: I'm ok by myself, I don't need anybody. I can do this alone.

Danny: you don't want to do permanent sleepovers? We could mad science together whenever the mood strikes! We could have matching bed sheets!

Tim: I... could come over occasionally. I need my own lab though, I can't just leave this one!

Jazz: Oh, I get it. You need to have your own space to retreat to. That's cool. Dad's still building you a bedroom, though. I'll make sure there's exterior access, so you don't have to worry about bumping into anyone when you need to leave.

Maddy: So here's a bunch of research I've just done in the last 4 hours. We can definitely replace your spleen for you, I'll just need to steal Vlad's cloning tech for a little bit. How are you with anaesthetic?

hdgnj

Tim DOES NOT know how to deal with this. What is this unconditional love and affection? What the fuck is happening?!?!? Wait, The Dr's Fenton just happily adopted Danny's clone? And his redeemed evil alt? Sharing custody with their creator? What is this?!?! Why are they being nice to him!!!!!

Jazz is doing her best to help him through it. And definitely wants to meet the Batclan to chew them out. She is not best pleased with how they treated Tim. That's her new little bro/potential brother-in-law. Look, she's seen how Danny looks at him. If this isn't the person Danny will marry? She would be shocked.

thatrandomsarahchick

If Jazz wasn't worried that it would lead the Waynes to Tim, she for sure would have already taken the Speeder straight there to chew them out.

Tim might not have said much about his life before them, but from the snippets they've gotten, she knows that they're never giving him back.

Whether by adoption or marriage, Tim is going to become a Fenton.

hdgnj

Jazz definitely has a plan hidden away about getting payback. She adds to it every time she hears something new about them. It's getting scary detailed and cruel. When Tim finds it he's going to have big feelings. The Fenton's are just too nice! He doesn't deserve this!

They slowly convince Tim to move more stuff over to the Fenton home. He's being coaxed over like a feral cat. They'll convince him eventually. For Tim this is wild. Love, care and affection? In this economy? While being a vigilante? Feels illegal. They also help him upgrade the security at his own house. His security was good, and now? Now it's better secured than the Batcave. Tim is impressed. He ever so slightly wants to see what would happen if they met the Bats. But he also very much never wants them to meet. He's seen Jazz's plans. Heard Jack and Maddie angrily talking about them. Danny and Ellie? Have a list of pranks for of they ever meet his old co workers. Jordan just showed something about them not needing all their limbs. So yeah, Gotham needs the Bats. Best to keep the Fenton's away from Gotham.

woodland-gremlin

And when they learn about Kon? They automatically decide new brother. And add Superman to the List.

thatrandomsarahchick

Jazz and Danny take a trip or of Amity in the speeder, and Tim starts panicking, thinking that they've finally cracked and gone after the bats. Unfortunately for him, he's about 6 hours behind because they waited until he fell asleep before making their move.

He's just about to enact his own counter-contingencies about them when he sees that the trackers he placed in the speeder are showing them only half an hour away from home. Unfortunately, they found most of his bugs, so he didn't have any audio or visual in there. All Tim can tell is that there's slight damage to the exterior and that the first aid kit was opened - though he only knows that because his final audio bug was crushed two hours ago.

Imagine his surprise when they step out of the speeder with a trussed up Kon between them. Oh no. 5 seconds later, Bart zips to a stop outside his the Fenton's house.

woodland-gremlin

“Tim?!” Bart screeched, “You’re alive!”

Tim blinked.

“Yes?”

Bart grabbed Tim in a hug before spinning him around.

“We thought we lost you!” Bart exclaimed.

Danny squinted at the display, still standing in the speeder with Jazz and his new brother.

“Wait, I know you! You’re the reason I had to deal with a dinosaur in ancient China last week!” Danny yelled.

thatrandomsarahchick

Bart: And your 'brother' over there is the reason I grew up in a post-apocalyptic world. The Dominators could only take over because he'd killed off anyone who could have fought back when they invaded!

woodland-gremlin

“And he is improving! You guys on the other hand keep messing with the time stream on the regular. The amount of chaos you Butter Biscuits have caused that I had to clean up far exceeds his!” Danny argues.

“So that excuses everything!?” Bart hissed back.

Danny replied incredulously, “Of course not. I am just pointing out that while Jordan is having a redemption arc, you guys don’t seem to have learned the dangers of messing with the time stream. This dimension would have ended dozens of times over because of your shenanigans if Peepaw didn’t have me fix it.”

Danny than folded on himself, sighing, “Look, I am not going to say what he did was okay. It was wrong on so many levels. I just. . .”

im-totally-not-an-alien-2

Danny bit back a sigh from his place on the throne as two young vigilantes fell from a portal in his throneroom. He peered at him through his long white veil as he straitened himself. He knew what to do. He had done this song and dance sixty-two times now and he was about to do it again.

He watched them bicker from the cold floor of his ice castle, something he made from his own ice so that the observants couldn't see or hear what was happening inside or pop in without his explicit permission. Something that angered the nosey creeps to no end. Ah, he's getting lost in his thoughts again. Its time to start the test.

"Why have you come to my Realms mortals?" He felt almost silly calling them that, but it worked in getting the two to stop arguing and pay attention to him. Ah, the younger one has a sword. Cool. Won't help him here, but he gets points for ascetic if nothing else.

"State your names."

"I am Robin!" The smaller one yelled, fierceness of his voice to match the fire in his soul.

The older seemed more hesitant, taking a moment to assess the situation before answering, "I'm Red Robin. Sorry for dropping in so suddenly-"

The younger cut in, needlessly destroying his partners attempt at deescalating the situation, "We were not at fault! A portal opened underneath us and we were transported here!"

Danny knows that. Thats why he was testing them, "Are you saying that fate brought you here?"

Robin looked pleased before confirming.

"Then you shall stay here, as those who enter the Lands of Lazarus are never allowed to leave."

They both bulked, one trying to argue and the other trying to reason with him. Danny tapped his fingers on the armrest of his throne, pretending to think. "I will be merciful and allow one of you to leave. I will allow you a moment to make your choice." Danny barely got his words out before the older one declared that he would stay behind, putting himself between the king and his companion. Good. He passed the test.

He turned his attention back to the younger, "And you are fine with this?" This is the part where the companion adamantly refuses and offers themselves as sacrifice and the two bicker about who will get to sacrifice themselves for the other. The king becomes "moved by thier bond" or whatever and sends them both back to the land of the living.

"Of course! He's useless anyway."

...wat.

The older one made a wounded sound that made his core ache with the need to care and protect. This was not how things were supposed to go. Were ten year olds supposed to be this cruel? At that moment he made an admittedly impulsive decision and sent the child back, keeping the older of the two in the spirit would with him.

Leaving the comfort of his throne he walked down the steps towards the young man, his snowy robes fanning out majestically as his crown of stars bobbed around at his movements, some even going so far as to float around him as if showing off.

"I've made a decision. For this day forth you are my royal advisor." He stated before grabbing the other guys hand and pulling him along down the hall, "You're going to help me rebuild my kingdom from the thousands of years of war and political neglect it has faced. You will aid me in political endeavors as well as help the people in any way you see fit." He paused long enough to open the kitchen door and sit him down at the counter,

"But first, what do you want for lunch?"

bookwyrmie

Tim watched as the self proclaimed Ruler of the Realm turned his back and started going through the motions of food preparation. A small voice in the back of his head was pointedly listing all the accumulated evidence for why eating anything offered in a different realm was dangerous, a bad idea, and likely to have serious consequences later on down the line. The rest of him couldn’t quite find the energy to care. Starving to death in a foreign realm was hardly a better option than being trapped there forever and with Damien in charge of bringing news of his predicament back to the others there was no guessing how long it would take for anyone to mount a rescue.

If they bothered to at all.

Tim shied away from the thought that had been looming over him since he was left behind in the great hall of ice, but there was nowhere to go to avoid it. Damien had left him behind. No hesitation. Not even a token protest. As if he’d been waiting for a chance to be rid of Tim the entire time and was glad for the opportunity.

Did the others feel the same way? No, they couldn’t. But, they had taken the Demon Brat’s side before even when Tim was there to argue his case. With nobody around to contradict him it would be far too easy for the current Robin to make it sound like Tim was beyond saving.

For all they knew he could be dead already.

Not sitting at a table watching his captor finish assembling a plate of sandwiches that looked surprisingly edible considering where they were being made.

Actually, apart from a faint, greenish glow that seemed to be coming from everywhere and nowhere at once, everything in the room looked far more like an ordinary kitchen than anything Tim would have expected to find in the dwelling of the ruler of a death realm. Clean counters and a sink, shelves and cupboards filled with what Tim would judge as ‘normal kitchen stuff’ (he didn’t do a lot of cooking okay?), and the chairs around the table were recognizable as such, which was more than he could say about some human homes he’d been in (rich people were weird).

Even the owner of the place had toned down the imposing aura of power at some point since Tim arrived. Enough that when he brought the sandwiches over to the table and sat down with an awkward smile he looked more like a teenager than the vast otherworldly being he had introduced himself as.

He looked friendly. And Tim knew that it could all be a trick to entice him into letting his guard down, but even if it was, Tim hardly had any better options than playing along until he had more information. If he was going to make it out alive, not antagonising his host seemed like a good start.

Coming to a decision, he picked up a sandwich from the pile and took a bite.

im-totally-not-an-alien-2

Danny gave a small smile, glad the guy hadn't chosen to starve himself instead of eating the admittedly sketchy food.

"So." Danny began as he watched Red Robin take another bite of his food. "I'm sure you have questions. I'll answer what I can while you eat."

Red's eyebrows rose, supprising Danny with just how much facial expression the domino mask allowed without giving away someone's identity, "You're just going to give me the answers? Just like that?"

Shrugging, the ghost went back to the fridge to grab the leftover enchiladas from yesterday, "Yep. Figured I owed you that much after pretty much kidnapping you."

Red snorted around his sandwich. Good. He had a sense of humor. He could work with this.

"Ok. First question. Why do I get sandwiches and you get enchiladas? Am I being poisoned?"

Danny chuckled a bit, "Well yes and no." He noticed Red freeze and hurried to continue, "the atmosphere of this realm is toxic to all organic matter. Its dangerous for people to be here even for a short amount of time." Red looked like he was about to start panicking, "But my palace is made from my Bi-frost, which was specifically created to shield you from the negative effects. You are safe so long as you stay indoors and away from any open windows."

Red visibly relaxed, and Danny popped his own food into the microwave with a soft beep. "You can build up an immunity if you start with small things with lower concentrations of ectoplasm. I figured it would be best to ease you into it rather than throwing you into the deep end and hoping you don't drown."

The other boy seemed to consider it before nodding. Danny decided that for the sake of transparency, he was going to drop a bombshell on him. "Also underworld rules state that once you eat something from here you can never leave. I don't want you running back to whatever awful life you had with Robin."

Red had froze again and Danny prepared himself for screaming, yelling, arguing, maybe him trying to justify why he thought it was okay for him to be treated like that. But Red just stared down at his food. Seeming to accept his fate.

Dannys core ached again. "I'm sorry."

This seemed to startle the man out of his thoughts. "What?"

Danny repeated himself, "I'm sorry. I acted on impulse and kept you here. I didn't really consider your thoughts or feelings on the matter. I saw you being treated like that and couldn't help myself." Red looked absolutely baffled, but Danny would take his confusion over rage or sorrow. "I know it doesn't excuse my actions, but I hope you can find happiness here in the Infinite Realms."

"I thought it was called the Lands of Lazarus?" He croaked, his voice sounding raw with emotion. Danny really wanted to strangle the younger Robin right now. How long had he been treated like that?

"It has a lot of names. We don't interact with the outside worlds much so each time someone "discovers" us they try to give us a new name." He said, giving a dramatic eye roll for emphasis.

The microwave beeped, and the king went to fetch his lunch. He pulled out a fork from a drawer and two waterbottles from a cabinet, which were thankfully niether glowing or green before handing one off to Red and sitting with him at the table. He took a bite of his meal and savored the oddly calm atmosphere before turning back to his guest, "Any more questions?"

After a verbal barrage of questions from Tim about questions regarding the Infinite Realms, Danny shows him around the place and Tim’s new living quarters.

Tim does indeed assist Danny as his royal advisor. Helping dictate and rule the Ghost Zone alongside the Ghost King. The ghost zone positively thrives and prospers under the duos just rule.

Throughout Tim’s stay in the ghost zone he becomes more and more ghost like. His limbs extend a tad longer than they should normally be, his teeth sharpen into fangs. His hair gently waves in a nonexistent wind. The whites of his eyes are filled with a shockingly blue iris. He wakes up to find a tall glowing scepter next to his bed that Frostbite informs him was used by the royal advisors of the Ghost King before Pariah Dark.

It’s been a year now since Tim first entered the Ghost Zone. In the back of his mind something nags him. Is his family ever going to try to get him back? Are they going to reconnect or figure out a way to communicate? Will they even recognize him now?

All of these questions just swirl at the back of his mind but he shoves them away. Danny is calling him to attend a meeting to help negotiate a peace treaty between two warring ghost nations. It’s time for him to get back to work.

Time works differently in the Infinite Realms.

Tim barely noticed it, he usually just spend his time wondering about his life back in earth, that he has been admitably getting hard time remembering much so he just eventually stopped, helping his King manage the Realms (getting a bit too close with him in the process), and adjusting to his relatively new Halfa status (it just happened one day, no warning, no incidents, just him and King Danny (looking back to it, Tim wasn't sure when he started to call his king that) going in their usual days in the Realms when King Danny paused and take a really good long look at him before suddenly blurting, "Oh, you're a Halfa now. I didn't expect that."), and fully growing in to his job as the High Advisor of High Ghost King of The Infinite Realms (admittably, the title could use a little revision other than that, Tim isn't complaining) as well as the powers that his Halfa and the High Advisor Status grant him. By the time he realized the passage of time (he isn't aging, he's stuck just being a around the age he lands in the Realm so he hadn't really noticed), it's already been decades, and decided that, "This is fine, better even."

Meanwhile, on Earth (the one from Tim's Universe) the Justice League is having a Major world ending threat. The super natural kind of threat.

They were desperate to the point they had the JLD resort to summoning the most powerful entity that they could think of.

Constantine and the rest of the JLD finished the ritual and expected the All Powerful, Almighty High Ghost King of the Infinite Realms, to apear in the circle.

They didnt expect to get Redirected to a different entity.

(Tim decided that Being able to summon the Almighty High Ghost King willy–nilly is a big No–no.

That said, they couldnt just outright remove the rituals. So they decide to make a compromise.)

"Who Dare's To Summon The His Majesty, The High Ghost King Of The Infinite Realm To This Lowly Plane Of Reality?"

The Whole League, more specifically, the Bats, Freeze at the sight of the thing they summoned.

Because the entity in front of them looks exactly like the missing Red Robin.

Sure his skin is greenish gray, more Celadon rather, his ears pointed much like an Elf, has sharp fangs and slightly different costume than the one he was wearing at his dissapearance and has a long ethereal looking scepter at his hand but theres no mistaking it, the entity, the person in front of them is Red Robin, Batmans missing robin.

His son that has been missing for almost a year now.

"Speak, Mortals. Cease Wasting My Time And By Extension, His Majesty's Time With Your Senseless Gawking In Front Of Me. I Have Much More Important Things To Address Than Deal With You Plebians."

Vast pressure that the being that supposed to be Tim seems to unbelievably exudes, slammed on them, brought them to their knees as he stepped out of the wards that the JLD insisted that not even lucifer himself would be able to escape without trying like its nothing.

Is this really Tim?

"Speak, Now."

Bruce is really thorn right now.

Not even mentioning what Damian is feeling right now.

Things just got infinitely more complicated.

“... Red Robin?” Batman’s voice breaks through the tense silence.

An intense surge of emotion grips Tim’s heart. Pain. Longing. Anger. And he feels it shutter briefly across his face before he locks his expression down again.

“That is irrelevant. State your business, lest you waste any more of my king’s time.”

Nightwing surges forward, ready to push the matter and pain grips his heart again, but Constantine interrupts.

“Sir Ghost, plea-”

“You may refer to me as ‘Cōnsilior.’

Tim could see Constantine’s eye twitch. “Cōnsilior, we seek aid in defeating the Chaos Lord Mordu, and his army of Dead. People are dying by the hundreds and nothing we’ve tried has even scratched them. We need help - in whatever measure you are willing to grant.”

Of course. When is it not a world-ending event?

“And what is in it for my king? What price are you willing to pay?”

Not that they wouldn’t do it for free of course, but needs must and appearances must be kept.

“Nigh anything.” A sure sign that they are desperate. But still foolish.

“Hmmmmm, well, we will aid you in defeating this threat, and we can discuss payment after.”

Constantine grimaced “As you wi-”

At that, Zatanna steps forward, harshly gripping Constantine’s shoulder. “John! Are you out of your mind!? Who knows what he’ll ask for?”

“Zatanna, this is our only option. There’s nothing else we can do.” His voice was harsh, brokering no room for argument

Zatanna looked as if she’d sucked on a lemon, but stepped back.

“How will you help us?” Superman tried to regain direction of the conversation.

Tim looked around the room, seeing their stoic, despondent faces.

“Tell me more about this Mordru, and I will confer with my king and our council. You’ll have the full force of the Infinite Realms behind you, and the greatest minds that have ever died (or never lived),”

With that, Tim summoned a chair towards him and sat, staff across his knees.

The rest of the League remained standing, wary at the casual display of power.

Zatanna took point on this, “Mordru is one of the most powerful chaos lords, and has an army of dead that follow his every command. He uses only the most dark of magics, including those he uses to power his army. He is immortal and undying and almost separate from the timeline itself, having never been born. As such, the only way to defeat him is to entomb him after magically overpowering him - neither of which we have been able to do.”

“Well, that all seems simple enough,”

Army of dead - no matter what controls them, there is no greater call than from their king. Overpowering him should be straightforward enough, King Danny was able to defeat Pariah at 14 and his powers have only grown since then. Existing outside of the timeline is also negligible due to Clockwork, and also the medallion in King Danny’s chest. Additionally, they should be able to create another tomb strong enough to hold the chaos lord - perhaps fashioned after the one Pariah is trapped in. Or the thermoses are pretty good … they’ve kept Dan trapped pretty well - and he ended the entire League and pretty much every other hero.

“Look, kid ,” Tim cut his eyes across to Constantine. “You can’t underestimate this threat. He’s here to conquer and sew chaos. Nothing we’ve done so far has even been able to touch him or make a dent in his army. He’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before. We called you for help but not even your king would be able to take him by himself. There’s nothing ‘simple enough’ about this.”

At that, Tim stood and stalked over to Constantine, stopping mere feet away.

“I may not have experienced anything like him exactly, but make no mistake, my king is not to be underestimated. He fought and locked away the old tyrant, Pariah Dark, singlehandedly - a feat that took the entire council of Ancients to do - and has only grown in power since. We have powers that exist outside of the Timeline, and ways to keep even the most powerful entities contained,”

Tim paused to look around the room, meeting each Leaguer’s eyes.

“We have agreed to help, but do not do us the disservice of doubting us. Now, excuse me while I confer with my King and our Council.”

Tim relished the looks of the League as the bright green swirling portal opened behind him, and he stepped through it, into the Council Chambers.

The moment they noticed his halfafication, King Danny didn't spare a second and immediately bring him to the Far Frozen.

The Yetis, Ironically to their Cores and nature, greeted them warmly.

After King Danny and Chief Frostbite, The Ancient Chief of Frost and Winter itself(he claimed that he inherited the title Ancient from the previous one who was originally been a part of Sealing Pariah Dark away with the help of other Ancients barring Frightknight, into the Sacrophagus of Forever Sleep. Tim found it odd but didn't press because it seems like a sensitive topic), talked about Tim's Halfafication, Frostbite led both him and King Danny to his Facility to get better readings.

After a series of test Frostbite expertly performs with outmost care and precision, as he have probably done with his majesty before, he diagnosed that yes, Tim is a Halfa, a fully mature one at that.

Frostbite and King Danny then proceed to explain to him what being an Halfa means.

As it turns out, King Danny is one himself and the second true halfa in all of the Infinite Realms' convoluted history, with the First one being the second High Ghost king, Lazarus.

And boy, wasn't that name a surprise?

Also, if anyone noticed tim being giddy and ecstatic about the prosphect of having something in common with his King, they didn't said a thing.

(Frostbite just sigh at the two young adults in front of him, one is head over heels while the other is completely oblivious.)

(Far away in the depths of the Realms, Clockwors just watch the Drama while Dan (he's been getting therapy from Jazz from other timelines courtesy of Clockwork)is on the floating couch he nabbed from Vlad's Lair while eating ghostly popcorn, yelling at Danny and Tim on the screen in annoyance and to—JUST FUCKING KISS ALREAD—!

"Behave Danimir, there could be kids reading this."

"This is tumblr, why would kids even be here? And also, aren't you supposed to know everything? "

"One can't be really sure about that. Also, that only applies to the clusters of infinite Multiverses that is binded to the Infinite Realms. Outside of it? With the other SINGULARITIES present, i could only peak at best."

"...what"

"Paradox is a really annoying menace, though not as much as Khan. Bunnyx is a sweetheart, the TVA is a cult while Time Baby with his time police is a annoying upstart, alwasy throwing a Time Tantrum™ whenever a time anomaly happens. It was a delight when Cipher killed him. That was he get from trademarking his own tantrum."

"Seriously, what."

"Now hush, just watch and let Timothy dream in peace."

"I could smell a nightmare in the making."

Clockwork just hummed in response.)

Frostbite then began to explain different kinds of halfa, as there are different kinds apparently.

First one he explain are the Human adjacent Halfas; Ghost that has legitimate living(or atleast semi alive) human forms and technically have neverbeen alive or dead in the firstplace.

Dan and Dani has been given out as examples. Dan being both ghost half of Vlad and King Danny in another timeline, with King Danny's persona coming out of top while Vlad's got devoured in the merging process, and has retained the ability to turn human despite claiming to have thrown out his humanity. While Dani, who is a clone of King Danny, she was created, not born, and never have died in any way.

The second kind is are the Ghost adjacent Halfas; Humans who have been exposed to very very high level consentration of Ectoplasm, whether all at once or by slow exposure. All while suffering from slow death.

Ghost adjacent Halfas' transition from being a normal human to being a halfa is a long process. In which a person's cells which got charge with ectoplasm died and got rejuvinated and ghostlified one by one before the person dies which will complete the halfafication.

Apparently, it's the kind of halfa most Ecto liminals could turn in to.

They explained that Ecto liminals (different to common liminals that are dead and alive at the same time without the presence of ectoplasm) are living beings that have been getting exposed to high amounts of high quality ectoplasm for a long period of time that they retain the ability to create their own ectoplasm inside their bodies from their emotions and by fulfilling their Ghostly Fixations, the human version Ghost Obsession, and gain abilities based from it just like tier four ghosts and above with Obsession based powers.

The common examples are the residents of Amity park, especially the students of a School called Casper high from King Danny's home universe, the universe that the Infinite Realms have the most strongest connection with unlike Tim's home Universe which connections only extend to the Corrupted cesspools of ectoplasm called Lazarus pits which the League of Assasins uitilzed and the Phantom Zone, named after King Danny himself (it was a surprise to now that the Kryptonians worship King Danny as Dan-El, the Kryptonian God of Death) that the Kryptonians use as a Prison, which are the only most common examples of ectoplasm source.

They could be called Ecto contaminated, if you decided to asked the Fentons. And no one really liked the Fentons despite being the King's Biological parents so no one does.

He heard the stories, and he's inclined to agree that the Fentons should stay to the other side of the realms and should stay inside the Fenton Corpse™, away from Black Frost Castle. It doesn't matter if their sorry, the damage is done.

Now, despite being majority of the Amity park being Ecto liminals and prime subject to Halfafication, almost none of them really turn in to one.

This is because of the other very specific requirement that the person need to be suffering from slow death and a strong will and emotions.

The most perfect example of this kind of halfa is Plazmius, who got his portal accident from college and suffered from ecto acne which slowly kills him for years before he died and completely turn in to a halfa. In fact, this is the category that he actually belongs to.

"Wait, you mean to tell me that i have been slowly dying over the years? How?"

Frostbite and King Danny exchange looks with each other before answering.

"Young Cōnsilior, you informed us that you do not posses a Spleen, which means that your immune system is very very fragile, I'm actually surprised with your health when you first came! However, the Realms is a very harsh environment to mortals and non ecto based lifeforms, your lifestyle, and your horrifying intake of Caffine and eventually, Ecto coffee and Ecto-dejecto reminiscent of the Great One–"

King danny rubbed his head sheepishly at that and at this point, Tim got where Frostbite is going at.

"Are you saying that I was slowly dying from caffine overdose???"

Frostbite and King Danny exchange look with each other and Tim lowkey felt left out.

"Not exactly, but to simplify things. Yes, you died of overdose."

Tim looks down on his still smoking mug of Ecto coffee before drinking the whole thing down in one go.

"Fair enough."

After that, they began explaining the last kind of Halfa, the one King Danny was classified as.

Not without first teaching him how to transform and detransform from ghost to human and from human to ghost, because apparently, his current appearance is his actual ghost from and not his human one.

Tim was surprised on how his black hair turn snow white in human form with his eyes having something that oddly look like eyeliners which turn out to be actual eyebags from his death.

Apparently, halfafication had the tendency to invert things such as colors and gender (it's the reason that Princess Dani end up as a girl instead of a boy). And that Ghost Adjacent Halfas under go color inversion in their human forms instead of their ghost halves like King Danny had.

(He got to admit, having white hair, pale skin, bright teal eyes highlighted by the eyebags underneath his eyes looks very cool on him.)

Speaking of King Danny, the final known class of halfas, being the true Halfa, is the state of being in complete balance between being dead and alive. Not being a ghostly human or a humanly ghost but being both at the same time.

Much like Schrödinger to be exact.

Both a ghost(dead) and a Human(alive) at the same time.

King Danny turned Halfa with his accident with a manmade Ghost portal when it got turned on while he was inside if it.

He died from electrucution, instantly becoming a ghost with the amount of ectoplasm present while his body got restored by the said ectoplasm, making his ghost and ecto contaminated body bond and rearrange from smallest atom right down to meta physical levels.

Jason instantly comes to his mind.

Did he become ghost when he died? Before he got ressurected? Did it bond with his ressurected body aswell when they threw him in to the cess pool of currupted ectoplasm?

Tim is sure what to feel with that.

Tim shaked his head, not wanting to deal with the idea.

King Danny perked up, as if he remembered something important.

"I almost forgot! I like you to meet someone!"

Tim look at his king questioningly,

Meet someone?

King danny turn to the door behind tim, "You can come inside now!"

Tim's expression fell as it slowly turn in to dread and shock.

"...Jason?"

The person who enter the door looks and acts exactly like Jason, other than the obviously wrong colorings

Instead of black hair with white tuff of hair in the middle, its the other way around. White hair with black tuff. His eyes are red instead of blue, his wears his red hoon costume that are also inverted in colors.

He then notice the the odd ethereal glow that He seems to be giving off and—

"...no"

Jason walk closer and Tim suddenly found himself backed against the wall that was previously not there, grin slowly etching in to jasons face as he stalk closer.

"Oh, yes Replacement."

Tim could feel his slow heart rate rising steadily in panic, "H-how, why?"

Oblivious to Tim's dillema, Danny just chirped cheerfully, "Well why of course, he's my new Knight and bodyguard!"

Tim's felt something stabbed him to his core at his beloved king's words.

Knight? Knight? And bodyguard? Why? What about tim? Wasn't he enough? Is he not needed anymore?

No. Please, please no...

"Yes Replacement, you aren't needed anymore."

"NO!" Tim screamed in denial, turning to his king with fear and desperation in his voice, he is on his knees, clutching his king's Cosmic cape regalia, "K-king danny! Your Highness! Please! Please! This got to be some kind of mistake! I-I'm still usefull! I-I'll do anything, please, please, please don't throw me away."

Tim was ugly sobbing at this point but he doesnt care.

"Please don't leave me alone too.."

His king just stared at him in apathy, the expression felt so foreign to the usually jolly king that he was so used to.

He heard a gun clicking and turn to jason pointing his gun at him.

He isn't at the Far Frozen anymore.

He isn't in the Realms anymore.

Nor he is Cōnsilior, the Ghost King's Advisor anymore.

He's Robin, the replacement.

On the ground with the freshly resurrected Jason looming over him like death.

He gave him a cruel smile, his eyes glowing in sinister green, "Looks like I'm going to be your replacement, Replacement."

Tim woke up screaming as the wind did at the same time.

---

He shot out of his chair, breathing ragged, cold sweat pouring down his face as though he just had a beat down with an Ancient.

It was a dream.

A dream.

He steadied his breathing, calming down himself as he took in the state of his room.

Everything was a mess, just like a hurricane came barreling through his office.

And to be fair, it did.

He tried steadiying his breathing again, trying yo calm down his wind core.

"I could have sworned you'd have an electric core."

Tim immediately turn around and see Fright knight in all his halloween glory sitting on a chair next to the door, unaffected by the localized hurricane.

Tim scoffed, "Me? An electric core? Yeah right." Tim would never want an electric core. He won't even dare to think of the possibility of having one.

the knight stared at him for a moment, "I see, it's about your obsession isn't it?"

"Don't ask questions that you already now the answers."

"Apologies,"

"What are you even doing in my office?"

"Just visiting a colleague, is that wrong?"

Tim felt his eye twitched, "No, but the litteral nightmare i have earlier is."

"It's not my fault that my mere pressence could cause nightmares, young Timothy."

"Then please be out of my pressence instead."

"What a rude colleague I have."

"Also, it's Cōnsilior Starling."

While he isn't Red Robin any more, the bird theme has been a part of him whether he like it or not, hence the Starling part.

"As you say Timothy,"

Tim felt his eye twitched in annoyance again. He doesn't understand why Fright knight keep on pushing his buttons be he does and it's getting in Tim's nerve everytime.

(Fright knight is still bitter that Tim end up as an Advisor instead of a Royal Knight to the Ghost King. It's not that he has anything against to the title itself (to the previous title holder? He does.) But he's been hoping to have a new Knight to the ranks that serve King Phantom other than thralls.)

All of a sudden, Tim felt a ringing pulse in his head. He scowled and went to the door, transforming in to Cōnsilior Starling ghost form on the way, his staff appearing in his hand along with.

"Emergency?"

Tim sighed, "Someone is summoning King Danny in some universe out there."

"Ah, yes. Cultist. This reminds me of the olden days when i was used to be summoned. Making humans tremble in fear whenever I they summoned me." Frightknight let out a sigh from nostalgia.

"Ah, the good times."

This made Tim think for a second, "You know what? I might just do that."

Tim is still in a bad mood from his nightmare and from having a summon right after waking up from an awfull sleep. Perhaps traumatizing some cultist would lift his mood a little.

"Tell me how it goes later."

Tim shrugged at the knight, "Sure."

With that, Tim go to the Summoning Chambers.

Just as Tim leave, Frightknight turn his eyes at the corner of the office.

"I hope you're aware that his majesty will be informed of this."

"Now, don't be like that Frightknight."

Darkness adourned by the moving stars and nightsky poured out of the said corner.

"Then you should have known that intruding to your own colleague is rather rude, Nocturne."

The Ancient King of Dreams chuckled, "A shame, just when I was bearing some good news that I thought you'd be rather interested."

The Ancient Lord of Fear and Halloween spirit raised a brow at that, "And that would be..."

Nocturne grin, "A possible Knight and new Halfa of course."

Frightknight's eyes widen at that, "I see, that seems like a good news indeed."

"Right?"

"The King would still be informed of this however."

Nocturne's shoulder drooped, "Ah, curses."

This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…

three-blogs-in-a-trenchcoat

Listen, this is serious.

Do not use the website called Sci-Hub!

It lets people access scientific articles for free. This is dangerous. It helps the free flow of knowledge and reduces the competitive edge of all the people who worked really hard to have been born into a wealth.

Like, it’s literally a website where you can type in the DOI of an article and read it, without ever having to pay the publisher who exploited the author.

So, again, do not, under any circumstance, use Sci-Hub. I mean, can you imagine a world where knowledge is free and easily accessible to everyone? Even, y'know, poor people?

whateverthebeeswant

Libgen also has many books online, including textbooks, searchable by name, author, and ISBN. Can you imagine textbook companies not getting their hard-earned income from poor college students? Here is the link just so you make sure that you never accidentally stumble across this horrible, unethical website.

three-blogs-in-a-trenchcoat

Oh, and while we’re talking about books, if you’ve managed to stay clear from Libgen, definitely don’t go to zlibrary, where you can also find a lot of textbooks, but unfortunately they’re completely free.

teachingtales

Reblogging so you know which sites to totally avoid

professionalwritingnerd

catboybiologist

Scihub SUCKS because even if you can’t access papers by their title directly, you can look the paper up through the journal source, grab the DOI number from reference, and input it into scihub anyways to reliably and safely retrieve the paper you were after.

Which is soooo horrible oh nooooo

ok kids repeat after me

vinegar and bleach makes chlorine gas, which is highly toxic

ammonia and bleach makes chloramine, which is highly toxic

rubbing alcohol and bleach makes chloroform, which is highly toxic

hydrogen peroxide and vinegar makes peracetic/peroxyacetic acid, which can be highly corrosive

be careful about your cleaning products and dont get yourself injured or potentially killed ok

gutsygills

why it so dangerous to be clean

catholic-aviator-deactivated201

As someone who’s job is to handle chemicals like this, I need to state that this information is IMPORTANT. Plenty of people have accidentally injured or killed themselves at home because they didn’t know what kind of reaction certain substances have with one another. Play it safe and don’t mix chemicals.

thegoodfoothousehold

Also don’t use bleach to clean up urine it’ll create chloramine bc of the ammonia in it and you can give yourself chemical pnemonia that way

theraphos

Every time I see “helpful” posts telling people to mix these things while cleaning I cringe with my entire body.
