my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.
The GIW had finally managed to infiltrated the Ghost Zone and Danny was prepared to fight. Till his final bitter breath if he had to. No way where these white suited freaks about to march into his territory free of consequences. Unfortunately, Clockwork didn't seem to agree with him because before the first battle, his mentor flung him through a portal and into a room full of costumed strangers.
I know the implication is things are looking grim? But? My brain IMMEDIATELY went? Too?
"Oh he's about to do something DEEPLY fucked up, isn't he?"
In very much the vein of "honey, I need you to go inside. Papa has to Talk to these men real quick. Close the doors and cover your ears. Don't look."
Like? This has gone on Long Enough. The squabbles and fighting of children are not the concern of Ancients. But! When you cross that invisible line in the sand? When you test their patience? Seemingly endless? And FINALLY find the very last straw?
It's like feeling the earth moving beneath you.
Realizing that which you stood upon was no mountain.
It was a sleeping God.
And you FINALLY, in your hubris, have made the seemingly immovable heaven move.
There is no victory in that. Because you were a fool. Incapable of comprehending the cosmic scale of which you woke. Which you had angered. Beyond mere giants, they were sleeping galaxies and gods. And their fury is beyond compression.
Your weapons are TOYS unto them. Pinching little annoyances. Made to fight children. To kill infants and soft, gentle things. THEY have never been such. And you PLEASED now? That you FINALLY have their attention? Like a spoiled child, destructive and cruel, that has set fire to his home to get what he desires?
Not since Pariah, have they been forced to move. To be so PRESENT. The full weight of their power like warping chains upon creation, heavy mantles, fit for Gods. Arrogant little souls. Born of a pathetic, selfish little world.
You truely do think you're somehow special, don't you?
Better then Death itself.
And of COURSE they remove the children. This sort of thing is not for their eyes. Is the terrible, ugly burden of the old. The Ancient. Those who are powerful and wise enough to act. Who have seen realities come and go, be born and perish. Who know the Laws Immutable.
This little realm is not special. Even the muck of wastelands can birth a King. They forgot themselves. Their place in the community of the infinite and the Laws that bind it.
ALL things Die.
Including world's. Including stars and Galaxies. Universe. Gods, realities, and the fragile little bubbles that hold them. With how far you've gone, why SHOULDN'T we end yours?
And oh, the hands that crack and squeeze the boundaries of Danny's world. But he's not there to see it.
The fear. The panic. The terror in the streets as the sky crack and distorts. The strangers embracing, weeping on their knees. Children crying. Storms raging. Humanity AFRAID and unable to understand what has brought sure terror upon them. Such divine wrath.
Because the GIW does not represent them.
And such truth is said. In a voice shaking but brave. Because Valerie Grey refuses to run. Let ghosts ruin lives and hurt people. Even if she's figured out they aren't all bad, these guys? Are ASSHOLES.
She can't find Danny. His friends are rescuing people from the storms. His PARENTS are trying to stabilize reality. And his sister is helping at the emergency shelter to keep everyone calm. Her Dad's running the shield.
If she fails. This might be IT.
Fuck the GIW. What did the REST of them do!? What did DANNY? You think he can just, what, find a NEW home? Shrug off your destruction of BILLIONS of lives because a small group of asshole crossed the line? WE didn't attack you! THEY did! Just them!
If you're so great and powerful, stop being LAZY, and deal with the PROBLEM directly! Leave the rest of us ALONE! Killing us all because it's easier??
MAKES YOU NO BETTER THE PARIAH!
Bold words. And wholey untrue, of course. They know this. The atrocities Pariah committed or beyond the child's compression. Her worst nightmares. But... there are sparks of truth in the wisdom of children.
The white suited men are no kings of their realm. It should not suffer for their crimes.
Only THEY should.
And? By the time Danny Superhero Team Up's his way through an epic, life changing adventure of personal growth and Heroic friendship, as one does, to get back to his reality? Now with EXTRA Heros for a Heroic throw down to Save The Day(tm)?
Uuuuuuuh? Why is everything... Hella broken? Red Huntress is getting a presidential medal of honor? Makes perfect sense. Why though? And where is the-? Okay why is no one willing to look me in the eyes?! Okay, this is weird! I'm gonna go ask Clockw-
Okay but if anyone's actually having troubles reconciling multiple conflicting ideas that they like for a fictional character, like the whole "Ryland Grace is somehow aroace and in a polycule with Rocky and Adrian and very gay for Simon Ironlung" thing to where it's not meshing together as like, well with the power of queerness anything is possible, but just like, but surely I must pick one?
You don't have to actually do that. The beautiful thing about fictional characters and the whole business about them being tools of a narrative, is that you do NOT need to concretely decide anything about them outside of the confines of whatever story you want to tell today. Multiple conflicting ideas about the same blorbo never actually need to settle into one definitive verdict. I mean it's fine if they do, but it's not required.
And in fact it's usually a good idea if you like to create things for you to practice switching between several mutually exclusive possibilities. Not only is it good creative practice, it also keeps you from getting so stuck in a single concept of an idea that you become hostile to conflicting opinions.
I sometimes feel that I'm not doing enough with my life, but at least I grew my first two arms significantly before a cactus would have been expected to.
why is this getting notes again everyone STOP talking about white collar & rich guy shit i am a BLUE COLLAR DYKE!!!! THIS IS A JANITORIAL COMPANY!!!! i will NOT let you make this about white collar businessmen the poors are funny too ok
Okay for context and sorry im rambling sm about this i need to get my thoughts out somewhere LMAO. UM. that specific comic I tweaked is important to me because its sort of like the first big talk they have, but like its only one conversation. Neither Rocky or Adrian or Grace are fully alright but at least for Rocky and Adrian specifically (since that particular comic strip focuses on them) the love they have for each other has never really been a question. In that aspect, they get to have this assurance early on that both do love each other and do want to have each other to weather whatever's coming their way. It's just Rocky is also Not Okay mentally at all (planning to explore this soon hopefully) and Adrian is keeping so many things under wraps and close to their chest and both of them will have to deal with that as well. It's not a healthy relationship just yet but the goal is to work towards one,,, hopefully,, Grace also has issues that will need to be explored later on haha he and rocky both will get some more exploration later i just really like focusing on Adrian right now
For context, I just changed rocky's lines in the fourth page a little bit to imply that it's not so much just the fear of what Might happen but also shame of what has already happened. To allow some leeway for the next part
