I love dark and problematic themes in fiction

Somebody’s taste in fiction says nothing about them morally

There is no wrong reason to enjoy dark fiction, and a person’s reasons for liking dark fiction is their business, not yours, mine, or anyone else’s

Requiring someone to show their trauma card before you can absolve them of their alleged thought crimes is cop behavior

Tumblr added a bunch of tracking shit to share urls, so now ill teach you how to get rid of them

if you copy a url by sharing on the website, the link will look like this

getting rid of tracking in these is easy, just delete everything after the question mark and you are golden

in the case for the app, its slightly more complicated

first you have to delete at. that appears before tumblr(.)com the other tracking shit on this one has a lot more info, so please, clean app urls. after the first set of numbers, there's a / you have to delete everything after it

a clean Tumblr url should look like this

blog safely

Fandom Problem #7523:

I'm all for shipping whatever you want, like crackships where the characters aren't from the same piece of media or shipping characters that never interact in canon. But you have to draw a line at proshipping. So many people argue "if you don't like it then just block me". It's not just that I don't like proshipping, it's because it is genuinely harmful and dozens of people have been hurt as a direct result because it normalizes harmful relationships like incest and large age gaps. Sure it's fine if the age gap is two consenting adults but at a certain point you have to stop because a relationship can still be harmful and predatory if both people involved are adults and not related

[jadedaceofspades]

Full offense and no fucks given, but if a ship of a pair or a group of fictional characters bothers you that much that it could lead to stress-induced panic attacks, then you need to get psychological help and therapy; not sit in a space where you make your problems everyone else's because you're making yourself a "victim."

Like, yes, a line should be drawn; but that line needs to be drawn at something that is an actual problem. You not liking something is not illegal. You not liking age gaps between adults or toxic relationships isn't anyone else's issue but yours. "But it triggers me!" Your triggers are yours to deal with; people can't be constantly tiptoeing around you because you neglect to help yourself.

Perhaps people who waste their time and energy on if a few fictional characters are in healthy relationships and put more time and energy into not harassing, suicide-baiting and attacking real, living people. That's a thought that could help people and their psyches.

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

[vaspider]

welp.

Guess we'll be removing the Gilbert Baker 1977 Pride Flag from our site, along with the links to the Gilbert Baker Foundation.

Heads up to other queer artists: if you use the original 1977 flag in anything, definitely don't make any reference to who created it in your listings or you might get threatened by the Gilbert Baker Foundation! :)

Happy End Of Pride Month From CMG /s

[vaspider]

I'm just here going "... so, to be clear, you are issuing legal threats to a small Jewish-owned company in the name of Gilbert Baker... because we used his name in identifying the colorway associated with his flag?"

My wife just looked it up -- we've made less than $500 in the last 5 years on any items in that colorway. It is not popular. We spend a lot of time educating young queer people what that flag even is and why it's important.

Well, spent. Because we're not doing that anymore.

Good job spreading awareness of Gilbert Baker's work, guys!

[briearesea]

Unreal. What would Gilbert Baker think?

~ Gilbert Baker

Apparently in 2019, after Baker had passed away, the Foundation partnered with an LGBTQ business student group called Pride Corp. and became litigious about the use of the flag?

Nice work guys, honoring Gilbert Baker by shitting on independent queer creators (who are doing your job for you) sure is one way to do it.

[vaspider]

It's specifically about the name. We can use the flag, but giving credit to Gilbert Baker as its creator by calling it the 'Gilbert Baker flag' is the issue, because we are 'using the name for promotion.'

It's ridiculous on any number of levels, especially that WE HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE WHO HE WAS. They don't KNOW. Gilbert Baker's name is not a draw for our customers. It's a history lesson.

[mayra-quijotescx]

[Image description: White text against a darkened background of the red, orange, yellow, and green stripes of a pride flag, saying, "A true flag is not something you can really design. A true flag is torn from the soul of the people. A flag is something that everyone owns, and that's why they work. The Rainbow Flag is like other flags in that sense: it belongs to the people." The quote is from Gilbert Baker. End description.]

[vaspider]

Update:

They're asking us for nearly 2x what we've made from anything using that color scheme because we referred to it using the name of the original artist.

Fellow artists, I would advise you that if you have anything using the colors of the 8-stripe flag and calling it by or in any way referencing the name of the original artist that you either a) take it down or b) rename the flag, lest they ask you for twice what you've ever made.

This may have the unfortunate effect of keeping us from ever talking about that particular Jewish artist of blessed memory, and that does seem like a strange tactic for the Gilbert Baker Foundation to take, but...

I'm trying to write a post about tick safety and avoiding tick bites, but a lot of the info on websites is like "Avoid going in the woods, in plants, and where there are wild animals" and "Activities like hiking and gardening can put you at risk" and I'm like thanks! This is worthless!

As ticks and tick borne illnesses are expanding their range, I think it's important for people to be educated about these things, and I think it's especially important to give people actual advice on how to protect themselves instead of telling them to just...avoid the natural world

Rough draft version of Tick Advice:

Ticks don't jump down on you from trees, they get on you when you brush against grass, brush, bushes etc.

Ticks get brought to an area when they get done feeding from an animal and fall off them. In the USA, the main tick-bringing animal is deer, but I've seen plenty ticks on feral cats and songbirds.

Ticks get killed when they dry out so drier areas with more sunlight are less favorable to ticks.

The above is useful for figuring out whether an area is likely to have lots of ticks, and how vigilant you have to be in that area.

Wear light-colored, long pants outside. Tuck your pants into your socks, and tuck your shirt into the waist of your pants. Invest in light, breathable fabrics idc

IMMEDIATELY change out of your outside clothes when you come back from a tick-prone area, wash them, and dry them on high heat to kill any ticks that might be stuck on.

Shower and check yourself for ticks after coming inside. Hair, armpits, and nether regions in particular. You can use a handheld mirror or rely on touch; an attached tick will feel like a bump kinda like a scab

While you're outside, you can just periodically check for ticks by running your hands down your legs and checking visually to see if anything is crawling on your clothes. Light colors make them easy to spot, and they don't move fast.

Combing through each others' hair to check for creepy crawly critters is a time-honored primate ritual and is not weird. When hiking, bring a friend who will have your back when you feel something on your neck and need to know if it's sweat or a tick

If you're careful, you can usually catch ticks before they bite you, but if one does bite you, it's not the end of the world. Since tickborne diseases are different regionally i suspect this advice will differ based on where you are, but the important thing is remove the tick with tweezers (DON'T use butter, a lit match, or anything that kills the tick while it's still attached, please) and contact a doctor to see what to watch for. Most illnesses you can catch from ticks are easily treatable if you recognize them when symptoms first appear

[spyderqueen]

Also, don't assume that just because you weren't in tall grasses you don't need to be checked.

[paper-rose-doodles]

Some advice from a former camp counselor:

- If you’re camping, check your towels, blankets, and anything else you’ve hung up before letting it touch your body. Ticks are drawn to wet towels and find it an easy jump to a person.

- If you’re out with a dog, check them over thoroughly before you pet them. Anti-tick medication can kill ticks that attach to your dog, but they can still hitch a ride on fur and then jump on you. Consider getting an outdoor comb and wear gloves while checking.

- Invest in a pair of fine-tipped tweezers to remove ticks. There are a ton of special “tick removal” tools that will work, but they’re essentially a riff on a basic set of fine-tipped tweezers. The fine tip allows you to pull a tick off without killing it while it’s attached. Standard, blunt-edged tweezers for eyebrows don’t work as well, because they can crush the tick’s body and release germs into your skin at the bite site.

- If you have a tick on or near your genitals, just go to a doctor. Just...just do it. Trust me. I’ve seen this happen. Do not engage with the junk tick.

- When you need to remove a tick, grasp it firmly with your tweezers as close to the skin as you can get it. If you can, grasp it under the head. Pull straight up - do not twist the tick. That’s going to be your best bet to pull it all off without leaving the head or mouth embedded.

- If you do break the tick, leave the mouth alone - don’t dig in to get it, since that can break your skin more and cause infection. Without the tick attached, the mouth should eventually fall off. If it doesn’t within a day or so, call a doctor.

- Disinfect, disinfect, disinfect. I’d recommend hitting the area with rubbing alcohol several times.

- Keep the tick in a plastic bag in your freezer or fridge. It’s gross, but if you start having any illness symptoms, it can be helpful for your doctor to have the tick itself.

- Watch for a rash on the site, a fever, chills, or body aches. If you experience anything like that, go to an urgent care or hospital.

- Don’t panic! Lyme disease is treatable. The quicker you get medical treatment, the less likely that you’ll have significant long-term effects.

[mybigfatgaylife]

Speaking as a long time outdoorsman this is all great advice. I’ll add one thing: in the past many places have had traditional tick seasons. Be aware that these seasons are shifting and expanding due to global climate change. I’ve spent a lot of time in the central Rocky Mountains and traditionally tick season was early to mid spring. That has shifted to late winter in the valleys and ranges to mid summer at higher altitudes.

Additionally, tick species ranges and the tickborne illness ranges have also been shifting because of climate change. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever used to be moderately common in the Rockies and has expanded east.

Teal deer: don’t rely on traditional information, verify seasons and ranges before assuming you’re safe.

[kungfunurse]

Do not engage with the junk tick.

[zooophagous]

Other protip: a deep woods style bug spray can repel ticks. Spray the insides and outsides of your shoes and also your socks. It helps a LOT.

I went from getting a dozen ticks to getting zero after doing this. Be aware that deep woods bug sprays are poisons and keep them away from non human animals and use sparingly on skin.

[morphine-overdose]

we do not talk enough about how you get hit front and back by being a jew and supporting Palestine. For a recipe that i want to make during Shabbat I have to scroll through a jewish recipe blog and cringe at the I Stand With Israel posts and then go back.

so a bunch of jewish spaces aren't safe anymore or are landmines. then you're forced to go someplace else. then there's tumblr with the people who think Jews=Zionist.

like oh, you're jewish? they immediately think you support the idf or something and praise genocide or something. your family barely survived a genocide that wasn't even like more than three generations ago and its being used as some sort of crutch to israel's moral defense when israel does NOT give a fuck about holocaust survivors at all except for their pr...

like damn bro im just trying to live my life and cook normally. Palestine has my entire heart. but like the pipeline from Palestine advocacy to accidental antisemitism to purposeful antisemitism is so 😭😭. man. i just wanna say guys jewish people aren't your enemies. the goal is to stop genocide not make the nazis proud of you or something

Automattic will sign a contract with OpenAI for Midjourney to learn off of Tumblr and Wordpress

Hello! Automattic, Tumblr's parent company, will sign a contract with OpenAI and Midjourney so Midjourney can learn off of Tumblr's and WordPress' art and other user data. :) (The full text of this article is copy/pasted in the cut below). You can opt out! but I truly cannot imagine a more idiotic or out of touch decision on the part of Tumblr's CEO.

First thing's first: When/if this goes live, opt out of this immediately. Do this even if you're not an artist. The more people opt out, the less valuable this contract is to Midjourney. in an ideal world, literally all of the active users would opt out, but if we can even get to 50% that's pretty delicious.

Second: Contact Tumblr Support. It's vital that you do this politely. Tumblr staff is not responsible for this decision and the point of doing this is to show the userbase's unwillingness to be involved in this, not harangue Tumblr staff. (Seriously, stop haranguing Tumblr staff). Here's a script:

Hi, I'm writing in to express my disappointment in Automattic's pending contract with OpenAI to sell user data. Midjourney is already embroiled in copyright lawsuits, and it is not possible to train it without compromising copyright, including violating the IP of artists on this site. I strongly protest this contract and will opt out if it goes live. Depending on the privacy terms around what user data is sold to OpenAI and why, it is possible I will leave the platform entirely. Thank you for your time.

Third: Download Glaze and start poisoning them prompts, my friends

Fourth: Stare into the middle distance for a second with me because holy fucking shit? How stupid can one decision be?

Tumblr and Wordpress are preparing to sell user data to Midjourney and OpenAI, according to a source with internal knowledge about the deals and internal documentation referring to the deals. 

The exact types of data from each platform going to each company are not spelled out in documentation we’ve reviewed, but internal communications reviewed by 404 Media make clear that deals between Automattic, the platforms’ parent company, and OpenAI and Midjourney are imminent.

The internal documentation details a messy and controversial process within Tumblr itself. One internal post made by Cyle Gage, a product manager at Tumblr, states that a query made to prepare data for OpenAI and Midjourney compiled a huge number of user posts that it wasn’t supposed to. It is not clear from Gage’s post whether this data has already been sent to OpenAI and Midjourney, or whether Gage was detailing a process for scrubbing the data before it was to be sent. 

Gage wrote:

“the way the data was queried for the initial data dump to Midjourney/OpenAI means we compiled a list of all tumblr’s public post content between 2014 and 2023, but also unfortunately it included, and should not have included:

private posts on public blogs

posts on deleted or suspended blogs

unanswered asks (normally these are not public until they’re answered)

private answers (these only show up to the receiver and are not public)

posts that are marked ‘explicit’ / NSFW / ‘mature’ by our more modern standards (this may not be a big deal, I don’t know)

content from premium partner blogs (special brand blogs like Apple’s former music blog, for example, who spent money with us on an ad campaign) that may have creative that doesn’t belong to us, and we don’t have the rights to share with this-parties; this one is kinda unknown to me, what deals are in place historically and what they should prevent us from doing.”

Gage’s post makes clear that engineers are working on compiling a list of post IDs that should not have been included, and that password-protected posts, DMs, and media flagged as CSAM and other community guidelines violations were not included.

Automattic plans to launch a new setting on Wednesday that will allow users to opt-out of data sharing with third parties, including AI companies, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, and internal documents. A new FAQ section we reviewed is titled “What happens when you opt out?” states that “If you opt out from the start, we will block crawlers from accessing your content by adding your site on a disallowed list. If you change your mind later, we also plan to update any partners about people who newly opt-out and ask that their content be removed from past sources and future training.” 

404 Media has asked Automattic how it accidentally compiled data that it shouldn’t share, and whether any of that content was shared with OpenAI, but did not immediately hear back from the company. 404 Media asked Automattic about an imminent deal with Midjourney last week but did not hear back then, either.

Another internal document shows that, on February 23, an employee asked in a staff-only thread, “Do we have assurances that if a user opts out of their data being shared with third parties that our existing data partners will be notified of such a change and remove their data?”

Andrew Spittle, Automattic’s head of AI replied: “We will notify existing partners on a regular basis about anyone who's opted out since the last time we provided a list. I want this to be an ongoing process where we regularly advocate for past content to be excluded based on current preferences. We will ask that content be deleted and removed from any future training runs. I believe partners will honor this based on our conversations with them to this point. I don't think they gain much overall by retaining it.” Automattic did not respond to a question from 404 Media about whether it could guarantee that people who opt out will have their data deleted retroactively.

News about a deal between Tumblr and Midjourney has been rumored and speculated about on Tumblr for the last week. Someone claiming to be a former Tumblr employee announced in a Tumblr blog post that the platform was working on a deal with Midjourney, and the rumor made it onto Blind, an app for verified employees of companies to anonymously discuss their jobs. 404 Media has seen the Blind posts, in which what seems like an Automattic employee says, “I'm not sure why some of you are getting worked up or worried about this. It's totally legal, and sharing it publicly is perfectly fine since it's right there in the terms & conditions. So, go ahead and spread the word as much as you can with your friends and tech journalists, it's totally fine.”

Separately, 404 Media viewed a public, now-deleted post by Gage, the product manager, where he said that he was deleting all of his images off of Tumblr, and would be putting them on his personal website. A still-live post says, “i've deleted my photography from tumblr and will be moving it slowly but surely over to cylegage.com, which i'm building into a photography portfolio that i can control end-to-end.” At one point last week, his personal website had a specific note stating that he did not consent to AI scraping of his images. Gage’s original post has been deleted, and his website is now a blank page that just reads “Cyle.” Gage did not respond to a request for comment from 404 Media. 

Several online platforms have made similar deals with AI companies recently, including Reddit, which entered into an AI content licensing deal with Google and said in its SEC filing last week that it’s “in the early stages of monetizing [its] user base” by training AI on users’ posts. Last year, Shutterstock signed a six year deal with OpenAI to provide training data.

OpenAI and Midjourney did not respond to requests for comment. 

[badaxefamily]

Support has already set up an auto-response for complaining about this. But everyone should still send a message because upper management will still be informed of it.

[khaleesi]

Absolutely. And it's possible that having enough support tickets will give Tumblr staff some leverage to push back.

Sans would then go on to explain that he has also already completed the fossil section of his museum, and he wasn’t aware that duplicate fossils were a thing. “i would just bring my fossils to bathers and he always wanted to take em..”

He would probably then go on to say how annoying the Alexandra Birdwings and Golden Stags are because they’re the only two bugs he seems to be able find. Much to kids’ horror. XD

I fully believe that Sans would be luckiest and most infuriating ACNHs player. Popular villagers just stumble onto his island willy nilly.. he shoves all of his flowers into one corner of his island and gets blue roses without even trying or knowing how rare they are.. he magically picks out the legit artwork without even knowing that there are fraudulent works in the mix.. He probably just casually goofs around in game amongst these highly valuable things that he’s just magically stumbled into, much to the annoyance of everyone else. And the best part is that he either wouldn’t know how valuable this stuff is or he just wouldn’t care. XD

I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

They were murdered in cold blood.

[churchoftheconfusedchicken]

I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.

Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture

People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.

Reblog this or just stop following me

[ifiknewiwouldtellyou]

I had seen the first picture of the church, but not the second.

I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.

This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.

They were all children, injured, abused, and killed in my country’s attempt to erase them. I want the world to see this and hold the state accountable to *active* reconciliation> I mean we could at least truly adopt UNDRIP in action instead of words for god’s sake.

Danny gets mistaken for Superman 24.2.23

DP x DC. Danny Phantom, Superman, Batman.

A group of villains attack an event they know the JL is going to be investigating undercover. They're looking for secret Identities amongst the crowd, and Danny, long since a full-fledged adult, happens to be attending as well.

Danny, unlike Clark, does not dress to conceal his physique, or hide behind glasses, or hold himself to seem smaller or bumbling.

He gets wrongly picked out as Superman within moments.

And Danny, who can fly, who has mild superstrength, who can tell where kryptonite is because it radiates like all food-quality ectoplasam, who's not as concerned about being discovered since the meta rights act overturned the anti-ecto acts, and who's only become more of a gremlin as full fledged adult, figures 'Sure, why not, I can be Superman :)'

Batman is not the only person who is blindsided when "Superman" leans over and eats the kryptonite right out of the man's hand.

"That was rock candy." Not-Superman gave the man a cheshire cat grin. "You might want to double-check your supplier."

"That was definitely kryptonite," Superman informed him over the com, his voice flat with the kind of flabbergasted disbelief Batman had thought they both left behind a couple of world-ending-disasters ago.

Day (634/100) in my #∞daysofwriting @the-wip-project 24th of Feb

[omnicrafts]

You said 'long since a full-fledged adult' so I'm putting our boy at a neat and tidy 30. (This is also the year he will stop aging at a normal speed and start doing so at an extremely slow one. Vlad sitting pretty at looking the same as when he was 45ish though ages quicker than Danny while slower than regular humans.) He and Vlad will eventually claim to be half brothers when (quasi/functional) immortality identity covers become necessary.

Bruce is 32, Dick is 17, Jason is 13. (Dick and Jason not present in this drabble.) Hints of Danny/Bruce

None of this is important, but by god do I love world building bullshit.

Onward!

Danny was at this Charity event to make sure Vlad stayed in his lane. The older halfa had long since turned over a new leaf after a close call for both of them when he'd been eighteen. Watching Vlad come to terms with just how badly they and their brethren were seen and treated hadn't been as cathartic as he'd expected.

At least it had shaken the fruitloop off of his haughty high horse and acknowledge Danny didn't actually need his guidance or advice. For Ghost things. Danny was surprised to learn that Vlad had a lot of actually practical advice on being a young adult living on his own.

So yeah, sure, he dropped ninety to ninety-fiveish percent of his evil ways and hadn't done a shady overshadowed business deal since. That didn't mean he wasn't still keeping an eye on the guy around schmoozing, borderline nauseating rich people.

Okay, mostly he was here because he liked these stupid parties that drove Sam up the wall. He liked play-acting and stirring up the gossip, especially if he got lucky and someone had a spirit lingering for one reason or another.

Usually it was a loved one, but sometimes it was someone looking for payback. Danny couldn't just deny his subjects their Justice, right?

Everything was going the same as usual, gossip, older ladies flirting boldly, the younger ones only a hair more subtle. Playing up the bashful bachelor while he kept accidentally catching eye contact with Brucie Wayne across the room.

His tentative goal for the night was to steal him away from the model on his arm and into a closet or empty room.

Just to talk, of course.

Just as he was untangling himself to slip across the room and check off the only item on his list, the wall to his left exploded inward. Danny barely blinked before he was moving and helping people to their feet and urging them away from the new window. Terrible design choice, but who was he to argue with taste?

He'd just helped Mr Donelson to his feet after lifting a small chunk of wall slightly, freeing his trapped foot, when he felt the muzzle of an AK against his back. There was the familiar energy pulse of crystallized ectoplasm, purified enough to be eaten as is or used in cooking for his race and those of the realms. Interesting.

Thankfully, Donelson was allowed to scurry after his wife and stand with the other party goers. His blue eyes scanning the crowd, briefly, noting the irritation from Vlad at the disruption. He caught the scowl and rolled eyes and got the message to deal with this mess.

Now, by 'deal with it', Vlad likely meant to cooperate and then help him slip away from the situation, avoid being involved.

That was not something Danny was interested in doing. At least not after the man with the gun had sneered the phrase, "Not so tough now are ya superman?"

He counted each guest and was relieved everyone was accounted for, and hell why not?, he winked at Brucie with a bright grin. The billionaire's eyes widening a fraction before Danny couldn't see him anymore because he'd turned around.

Yeah, sure, he can be Superman. He could feel Vlad's exasperation with him and his bullshit already.

"Nice!" He leaned down and crunched down on the Kryptonite. There was a mild spice to the treat, likely coming from the criminal's shock and horror as he just... chewed the stone that was supposed to cripple 'Superman'. "Looks like you got sold Rock Candy with some fluorescent foodstuff."

Danny's grin widened like Alice's Cheshire Cat, and he plucked the other half of the crystallized ecto out of his hand. "So, there a reason you're here trying to terrorize these nice people?" He asked casually, breaking off the points like grapes from a vine and tossing them into his mouth to chew on.

The bad guys looked a little ill.

"That.. That wasn't. That can't be rock candy, what the fuck?!"

"I think the fact I'm fine, and currently eating it, says otherwise." Danny hummed, floating in the air and reveling in the gasps and whispers. The hum of shock, confusion, and excitement heavy in the air. He positioned himself like he was sitting in a chair, if that chair was a foot off the ground also.

Focused as he was on the group of villain's Danny didn't pick up the nervously strained voice of Clark in Bruce's ear. "That was definitely kryptonite." earning a grunt in return.

"Now, we all know how quickly this will be over once I stop humoring you, well... once I finish this snack you brought me. Why don't you do the smart thing and put the guns down, kneel and put your hands behind your backs."

The group looked at one another and Danny let them before reminding them of what just happened by biting down on the last crystal of the cluster, making the CracK of it echo.

Five out of eight did the smart thing and did as they were told, while the remaining three charged him.

Danny moved with quick, precise strikes. Ducking under the first gun and phasing out the clip and the bullet in the chamber. His hand came into contact with the second gun and did the same, followed by the parts clattering to the ground as if he'd dismantled them.

He knocked the heads of both stunned men together, knocking them out without causing irreversible damage. The third actually managed to get shots off before Danny could disarm him.

Luckily, his aim was shit and the one bullet that hit him was stopped by the ecto steel lining of his dress shirt.

He would never make fun of Sam again for being overly cautious because a bullet wound would have totally given the game away. Or well, could be explained away as there being some real kryptonite in the crystal cluster.

"Rude, I only have so many dress shirts broken in you know. Jesus, do you have any idea how hard it is to find and get clothes tailored in my size?" He huffed as if that were the most annoying part of this mess before punching the guy in the temple.

"Now, anyone else want to try something before the cops get here?"

There was a round of 'No, sir.'s and 'No Mr Superman, sir.'s from the group that had opted for surrender. Good good. He tilted his head to the side, making eye contact with Brucie's stormy blue eyes. There was a calculating curiosity in his expression, a peek past the veneer of ditsy airhead.

Huh, Curious suspicion looked good on the man.

----

Danny and Vlad stayed around long enough to give a statement and Danny quietly explaining things to one of the Officers. He'd chosen to speak to her because Officer Koia was a former Parker. His people, living and dead, knew his name and face in both forms by now. He could trust her to take care of things.

More importantly, she let him and Vlad slip away in his waiting limo.

The two half ghosts were long gone by the time Batman arrived with the actual Superman.

By then the haze had done it's work and no one could quite fully remember who the man that saved them was or what he looked like. Bruce Wayne seemed to be the only one who could recall the man clearly.

"He can't be another Kryptonian, I know it's just me and Kara for sample size, but I'm positive we can't eat Kryptonite." Superman said, feeling ill just thinking about it. Or maybe it was the specks that dotted the floor where the Meta had stood, and floated.

"I'll look through the guest list tonight and compare to the recorded attendees. There should be record of his address or some kind of contact information. We will get to the bottom of this, now that the Hesanian Jewels are safe and already being transported home, we have time."

Batman couldn't resist a mystery, and this felt like something bigger than he'd encountered before. It was important to figure out if he was friend or foe.

[omnicrafts]

Wasn't sure where to pick up after this, but I'm about to combine it with that Amity Parkers as Unofficial Crowd Control during Hero Fights. Accidentally also added in Lore from the Like and Survive! Prompt.

A prompt/lore post I spent an hour looking for but couldn't locate. bleh.

Things changed after that night at the Metropolis Charity Gala. If Batman hadn't been at Ground Zero; and already researching the history of the MCPD Officer who had taken a short incomplete statement before letting the key witness vanish, no one would have any clue why it all was happening.

Danel Janus Nightingale was a widely popular and beloved figure in a small city called Amity Park. From the imprint the City left on the internet, there was nothing out of the ordinary. Danel seemed to run a small company called Fenton Works. The logo largely unchanged from when it was owned and operated by Dr's Fenton, before their deaths around twelve years ago.

It did feature an addition of the word 'Now!' in Comic Sans font. Making the Logo, Fenton Works Now! Robin suggested it was a dig at the previous owners or some inside joke.

The small city of Amity Park had a fairly regular amount of trouble with various odd ball "ghosts". While boasting an incredibly low crime rate and nearly nonexistent violent crime rate. Unemployment and homelessness numbers were still a problem, but still incredibly low.

If the AMPD was to be believed, the city was as close to utopian as humanity could get.

Even attacks by these "ghosts" hardly caused discontent. Long time local hero Phantom was just as popular as Danel. The so-called Ghost Hero had created a small team called The Flock, that recently took up duty patrolling and engaging in fights that looked more playful than villainous.

What drove Batman up the wall about it was no one had been able to locate where the city actually was. It existed while at the same time did not. There was proof of it on the internet and in the people who had left and moved to other cities or towns.

All of this was how Batman realized the multiple instances of civilians stepping into the line of fire were connected. It started in Metropolis and spread from there.

A battle would break out, the civilians would panic and attempt to flee for cover, several people would begin herding others to safer points, some coming dangerously close to the fight in order to help a downed or wounded civilian.

Batman reviewed the footage of several instances this took place with Flash's help. What they discovered was that, before the fight between hero and villain even began, the Responding Civilians would stop and look between one another and nod.

"It's like they felt something at the same time and were drawn to each other." Flash said, brows furrowed as he watched the five RC's in Coast City nod before jumping into action. Working in tandem to stop both sides of a crosswalk from walking moments before, Hal landed in the middle of it, leaving a small crater.

None of the Five had been looking up prior to this reaction.

They also hadn't looked up at any point before or during, attempts to prevent people from walking into what became Hal's landing pad.

"Hnn."

He watched Flash roll his eyes, but before he could say an exasperated 'Batspeak.', the door to the viewing room slid open. Superman stepped inside and gave them a sheepish smile.

"I was able to find footage of the fight with Lex last week."

"The one where the guy looking like a modern western outlaw decks Luthor's robot suit and steals his kryptonite?!" Barry, because that excitement was all Barry Allen, asked, on his feet and circling Clark.

"Yes. uh, that one." Clark hummed, doing his best not to laugh, though they all knew it was a losing battle. He handed Batman the flash drive and once plugged in the footage was pulled up.

The same pattern began as usual, there were eight this time, scattered among the crowd of the park. Everyone enjoying the sun and food trucks lined up along the sidewalk. This time, instead of looking at one another in turn, seven looked directly at the eighth.

"Is that...?"

"Nightingale." Batman confirmed, wishing the picture quality was better. He stood with two others, one an African-American male, around the same height with a similar build, casual jacket and shirt, cargo pants and combat boots. He adjusted the beret before saying something Batman couldn't fully make out.

Given the style of dress and slim build, the other was a woman, most likely of similar age. She wore a dark gothic style complete with umbrella for the sun that mostly obscured her features.

Nightingale wore a tight fit t-shirt and jeans with military style boots. Hung on his arm was a leather jacket that was quickly shrugged on and, before Batman could blink, he'd tied a cloth over his face.

Nightingale did give off a kind of modern cowboy feel now that he was seeing it himself.

A full two minutes before Luthor and Superman crash into the park fountain; the same one the three were standing near initially, the group moved. The seven RC's took out wallets, flashing them like they held badged before tucking them away just as quickly.

"They're saying there's an emergency, possible bomb, need everyone to clear the area." Flash supplied, laser focused on each person. "Nothing to worry about, under control, plenty of time to move. Stay calm and enjoy the rest of their day."

"That explains why every news source was talking about the bomb planted in Muller Park and speculating if Luthor is responsible." Superman mused, frowning as Luthor pulled his Kryptonite move and brought Superman down.

For about a minute and a half. Because that was how long it took before Nightingale took a running start from behind Luthor. Using a broken section of the fountain as a springboard, he was up and latching onto the machine, Luthor was inside. Left arm wrapped around the head as if he was going to bring the thing down like in an ordinary brawl.

Instead, he kicked out, connecting with the elbow joint and knocking the Kryptonite loose. Using the same momentum, he pulled himself back up on the machine's shoulders and stood. Arms up in a manner than made it very easy to imagine him shouting 'Goal!'

Batman, who was now used to Robin and Nightwing's antics on patrols, suspected that was exactly what was happening. Moments before Nightingale was on his feet, his friend was jumping up over Superman and snatching the Kryptonite out of the air and tucking it into his own jacket.

The flip executed in a way that his feet hit the chest of Luthor's machine and sent it pinwheeling.

Flash winced seconds before Nightingale lost his footing and dropped directly on top of his friend, and Luthor slammed to the ground on his back.

There were thirty seconds of silence before the two, friends?, scrambled up and took off into a patch of trees and disappeared from the cameras.

"How is this the only footage? That was incredible. God the internet would eat this up, Supes I need a copy of this. I have to show Wally."

"All other footage is too grainy or corrupted to see anything or use. I was given this copy from one of the Daily Planet's photographers. He works with the smaller news stories, opinion pieces or surveys about public works and such. Sometimes he gets a gossip column for conspiracy talk."

Batman nodded. "Is he...?"

"A Parker? Moved to Metropolis four years ago, worked for The Planet almost from the moment he arrived. Practically skipped interning with the experience he had from working with Amity Park's local news station."

"Hmn.." Superman and Flash exchanged a look.

"Should, we stop them? I mean, what they're doing is dangerous, even if we have seen lower civilian casualty and injury rates in situations RC's are present."

"At the very least, we need to discuss why they're doing this and what Nightingale is getting out of it. What they want and why they're branching out from their hometown."

"Eh, I mean, you're right." Flash shrugged a shoulder. "I've already tracked down a few in Central, and they coordinate now with the other first responders." He paused when his two coworkers just looked at him. "What?"

"What do you mean you tracked them down? What did they tell you?"

"Oh this was like weeks before you called us to that meeting Bats so don't even give... uh... okay, okay, I forgot to mention it til now." The speedster shrank slightly under Batman's glower. "I noticed some people acting odd and checked in on it. They told me they were used to super fights and are sensitive to certain energy given off by some types of powers.

"Especially Electricity. They were really offended when I asked if they were trying to get in the hero or vigilante business. 'As if we could ever be as cool as Phantom and his Crew.' Like I was the dumb one or asking." He continued, speaking quick but not so fast they couldn't understand, doing air quotes when quoting the person.

"If what they told me is true for these other people, it's an ingrained response from where they came from. All they're trying to do is guide Civilian's to safe locations."

"But," Superman spoke up, brows furrowed. "Why? Why now, and why not just move to safety themselves? They're in just as much danger as everyone else?"

"Hm,"

"Could be for the same reason Bats doesn't have this happening in his city."

"What?"

"I was going to mention it at the next meeting, compile all the data," Going for a gold star sticker Batman was sure, a system Bruce was borrowing from Alfred once the man had implemented it, and it was working. Even on Bruce.

"But based on what Wally was complaining to me about and checking the forums myself, Gotham has the highest percentage of Parker's to native Gothamites than any other city they've been found in."

"Wouldn't that mean RC groups would be more likely to happen?"

"You'd think!" Flash said with a grin, bouncing in place. "But based on the webforums where "Expat Parker's" hang out, they quote unquote 'Don't need to tell Gothamites when to get the hell out of the way.' A few posts mention how instead Gotham's RC's focus on having extra masks, first aid, goggles, and setting up caches around the city to store things like anti-toxin or alert devices to call for no questions asked help."

"So..."

"These guys think the rest of us are soft and need coddling, but Gothamites are equals." Barry cut him off, sounding equal parts offended and amused, paraphrasing what must have been much longer and more detailed.

Batman frowned at that. That information put what he knew about Amity Park's Heroics aspect into a new light. But more so made the bold record of zero casualties for sixteen years running either much more impressive, or a terrible lie.

"I look forward to your report, Flash. Superman, this makes the fifth sighting of Nightingale in Metropolis. It's possible he's staying there." He paused, seeming to scowl as he worked up to say it. "Would you be willing to let Robin and I look for him?"

Usually he would just do it. This was a League mission, but Alfred was adamant about leading through example. Other Heroes were less vehement about it than he was, but no one like another cape riffling through their city.

"Fine by me. I'll keep my eyes peeled for him or his friends."

"Good. Thank you. We'll arrive on Friday night." After Jason finished his homework and they had dinner. Hopefully this could be handled over the weekend.

It may just be simpler to open communications between the League and Nightingale. Especially if he could get them in contact with this Phantom.

Plan decided on, Batman swept out and to the Zeta's to take him back to the cave.

I hope you all enjoyed Danny and Tucker making a fool of Luthor and then promptly eating dirt. Just because they're adults and more skilled doesn't mean they have more brain cells between them.

Amity Park is more or less Unmoored from the world, but still there. Which is where Amity Parker's are Fae might come up if anyone asks Constantine. You can't find it unless you're welcomed or invited.

This also allows Amity to continue to grow as a City without the hassle that comes with land development and buying surrounding acres.

Barry's gonna get one look at Phantom and go, "Y'all that's a ghost."to which Phantom is absolutely going to crack up both at Flash's surprise and the League's bafflement.

Also, Nightwing and Kid Flash 100% ribbing each other about who's cryptids are cooler.
