"My poor little bean 🥺" I say about a character with the power to kill me instantly

[yukurie]

“My poor little bean 🥺" I say as I prepare more trauma for them to go through

[yukurie]

So I’ve dived deep into reading fanfics on AO3 again including some naruto fics and I had an idea:

I’ve seen a few scattered fics of Naruto being a girl and hiding it (like a pretty good Naruto x Shikamaru fic) and a couple where Sasuke is a girl too but I realized I hadn’t seen any where both are girls and thought it would be kinda funny, imagine this:

Naruto would have plenty of reason to hide being a girl because imagine what some drunk hateful bastard would do to her so she acts like a dumb boy, Sasuke has similar reasons to hide being a girl as being the last of her clan makes her have a large target on her back for kidnapping

Imagine the hilarity if everyone in class actually fell for their acts including the other to the point where they both develop small crushes for the other so now we have:

Naru: likes Sasuke, thinks she’s straight as she’s never had any other crush but will aggressively deny any crush even after being found out a girl, is very unknowingly gay

Sasu: like Naruto and hates that fact because out of every “boy” she ended up crushing on the annoying one and is just as gay without knowing it , also thinks she was straight

Sakura: likes “boy” Sasuke, is staggeringly straight, after the other two are found out and she comes to terms with both “her Sasuke being a girl” and naru and sasu having crushes they aren’t acting on, she forces her way in to play matchmaker between them

The entire rest of the class and group: thinks since before graduation that Naru and Sasu are gay due to them paying the most attention to the other, while shocked that they aren’t guys isn’t shocked to eventually learn that they’re lesbians

[yukurie]

So I saw a comic on here that I was gonna link to since it gave me inspiration for this but I couldn’t find it…

Anywho! The comic was basically a what if for episode 6 on what will happen and at the end it showed Pomni and Jax together looking like they both just got a big unhealthy dose of new trauma and it gave me an idea for them having a very unhealthy relationship caused by a particularly horrific adventure, possibly the worst one since the circus was made:

The whole idea is that at some point whether it be a few weeks or even a full month after Pomni’s arrival, the group gets given an adventure that for the most part is just a average horror themed adventure that has particularly realistic gore but otherwise entirely unremarkably average. Somewhere along the adventure Jax and Pomni get separated from the rest and don’t show up till a while after the portal opens and the rest walk through, the two don’t even walk through as Caine had to manually retrieve them from the adventure. When they are brought back they both look haunted, horribly so. Jax’s reaction is mostly ignored by the rest (with the possible exception of Gangle) with Ragatha trying to check on Pomni who only shakes worse as Ragatha gets nearer before her approach is stopped by Zooble.

After they’re set back to roam Jax and Pomni aren’t seen much or almost at all for almost a full week and when they are seen they both seem paranoid: looking over their shoulders constantly, flinching at any noise or voices, always needing to be within eyesight (preferably arms reach) of the other. They are never seen separate from the other and even then barely ever seen.

At first no one’s too worried, maybe they just had a particularly bad time but… then they don’t recover, they stay paranoid acting as if every little sound or movement is a threat. In fact one of the biggest things that gets everyone else’s attention is when it’s finally said out loud that Jax hasn’t pranked or done anything all week, this kickstarts everyone’s worry and they try to find them even knocking on their doors often to no response.

Finally on the 7th day of Pomni and Jax being scarce and skipping every adventure Caine has enough and summons them to the stage. What appears isn’t a two woken up people but instead the rabbit curled around the Jester with both of them clinging to the other desperately as they sleep as if they other would disappear, both of them somehow sporting horrible eye bags. This leads to everyone else having the same question “what the fuck happened to them?”

TDLR is what if something happens to Pomni and Jax on an adventure that fucks them up horribly, causing them both to be on the edge of falling apart and abstracting from what happened and the only thing stopping them is the other person’s presence. They end up having a desperate codependent relationship (whether platonic or romantic) that is the only thing holding either of them together

[godless-of-the-hunt]

this would fix me

Somebody should do this to me.

[deerwithahoodie]

P-Please?

[yukurie]

I cannot properly express how much this would both ruin and fix me

[anxeious]

[what-if-i-just-did]

"I don't wanna hear you're excuses! I'm not arguing with you!"

I'm.. not arguing with you either??? You asked me why I did something???

[yukurie]

Add to this always being confused by my explanations being called “excuses”. It eventually got to the point of just never saying any of my reasoning for anything, why explain why I did something if the adults were just gonna yell at me regardless?

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

Like sure, the kid who is practically in tears from pain is definitely making excuses to get out of writing just because they don’t want to write, they definitely can’t be actually telling the truth that they’re in pain because they’re just a “stupid kid”

[rockshitty]

I dunno man. I found out today that a subway sandwich is $14 now. A shitty subway footlong sandwich that isn't actually 12 inches long and is occasionally made with expired ingredients and was never a great option to start with. I ate those in high school because I was broke and at the mall a lot.

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

Someone in another post said (paraphrased) you used to be able to get something mediocre for cheap, but now the mediocre things cost as much as the nice things so why would you?

[curlicuecal]

This is me when I realized I could get a proper bowl of curry from the fancy indian food place for basically the same price as a fuckin McDonald's hamburger meal these days

[teaboot]

I heard an ad the other day for a "fantastic deal! Four dollar four inch subway snack sandwich!" And like. I'm sure that would seem like a much better deal I'd I wasn't one of the ones who grew up with obnoxious "five dollar foot long subway sandwich" ads.

A dollar an inch of sandwich. When it used to be 2.4 inches. 240% markup is GOOD? Fucking bite me

[greatatuintheworldturtle]

Yeah with fast food having delusions of grandeur these days it's really made me appreciate the non-chain food places in my area. The other day I went to the local Hawaiian BBQ place and discovered that they have teriyaki chicken AND Beef BBQ musubi for 3.99. and they come in pairs. PAIRS.

I KNOW.

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

So yeah, show em we don't need their shit sandwiches.

[anthropologist-on-the-loose]

There's some hilarious irony in that by creating an ad campaign so incredibly catchy and memorable that it entered public consciousness (the dream of any marketing team), Subway ensured everyone of a certain age range would view them as the poster child of fast-food price gouging.

[yukurie]

The quality has also dropped off a ledge for a lot of these places too, I never recommend anyone to go to McDonald’s but if you used to go like 10 to 12 years ago go and look at their food. The burgers actually used to be burgers not just slabs of brown that makes you think “is that even meat?” and the fries used to look like fries not oil with a side of french fry. They’ve also lowered portions so you’re more likely to get extra stuff that they can charge ya for so you’re not still hungry. They’re making us pay like double the price for like a quarter of the quality and half the amount

Don’t get me wrong, McDonald’s was never a good place to eat realistically but it was better

Danny is sitting inside Jitters sipping his coffee and watching Flash get his ass absolutely handed to him across the street by Captain Cold. He thinks Flash is having one of Those Days cause this is honestly getting really hard to watch.

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

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

Okay. Maybe he should…help. Now.

[a-god-in-crime-alley]

Cold takes a step just close enough to Danny’s table outside and Danny just splashes his super hot coffee on the freeze gun. Shorting out its system and rendering it a sparking mess that catches on fire.

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

“What the fuck kid?!”

“…You were getting to close to my cinnamon roll. This was the last one they have for the day since the baker had to go home.”

[seraphichana]

Captain Cold getting progressively more wound up about not being able to get one over on this random kid.

[lvrbymj]

I'm all for Danny being called a random schmuck bc he totally is.

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

What's worse than destroying someone emotionally and / or physically? A complete landslide of minor inconveniences that build up over the course of weeks. As they say, revenge is best served - Cold.

[yukurie]

Here’s the thing though! Danny is absolutely the type of guy to entirely miss or avoid every inconvenience Captain Cold tries to cause him and even benefit from some of them only to seconds later trip over nothing or run into a wall or pole.

[cosmonaut775]

Hey do y’all remember when Boeing fucking killed a guy last year. And we all said “huh I guess Boeing fucking killed a guy” and then went on with our lives. And everybody knew that Boeing had fully just fucking executed a guy and nothing came of it. Like there was no police investigation no justice no nothing. Like literally EVERYBODY knew that Boeing had full on murdered a guy to silence him and there wasn’t any consequences for them. Kinda crazy.

[flamie87]

and there was even less talk when openai did the exact same thing more recently

[flamie87]

So for those who are, very understandably uninitiated on this story:

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

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

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

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

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

For those of you who don't know about the Boeing case, a whistleblower named John Barnett was found dead in the middle of his deposition: https://www.qcnews.com/news/boeing-whistleblower-set-to-testify-is-found-shot-to-death/

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

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

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

Hopefully Suchir Balaji's story will have a similar effect, especially with all the evidence pointing to assassination.

[yukurie]

Unfortunately this is to be expected, cops have never worked for the people. I guarantee you those cops know damn well none of those deaths were suicide but called it such because it was more beneficial to the companies. The only way this could ever stop would be a full tear down and replacement of America’s entire police force (which isn’t happening anytime soon) and even then it’ll probably be only temporary.

Becoming Batman

dcxdp fic idea

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

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

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

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

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

Years later Danny would be watching the news in his college dorm and see a man in all black with a cape and an extremely familiar vibrant yellow belt, and smile to himself.

[yukurie]

All I can imagine is about 16 or so total years after the last time they saw each other in person:

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Fuck off”

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

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

[tpwrtrmnky]

"what if a dangerous man pretends to be trans to-" what if we actually dealt with the underlying causes of dangerous men. what if predators faced real consequences more often. what if you stopped using trans women as a proxy for your grievances with liberal feminism's individualist denial of the need to fight systemic issues.

what if you stopped assigning blame for patriarchy's evils to one of its more vulnerable victim groups.

[yukurie]

The thing is the people who want to do that (yes people cause while it’s seen as less likely woman can also do everything a man can do that’s awful too) they wouldn’t put in the effort to transition or act like they were gonna transition, doing so puts them in more danger / under more scrutiny than actually doing the thing. They’d become cops, priests, or just do the thing they wanted to do.

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

You wanna find a horrible person? Look at the world, stop looking at minorities and pinpointing the few in a minority and assuming all are like that, go find the professions that both actively and historically have protected horrible people

[foerchen]

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Batman isn’t the only one fiercely protective of his Robins.

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

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

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

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

Consider this your warning: Do not harm the Robins. Unless, of course, you fancy some trouble with the Rogues.

[yukurie]

Oooh, imagine this: batman is tied up on live television vision by the Joker somehow and the camera moves over to show the Robins being put in situations where they will die very soon.

All these rouges show up, they don’t care much to help Batman, he’s Batman and can get out by himself but they showed up anyways in case he didn’t seem like he’d manage to get out on time to save his Robins this time, for as much as they all have a favorite robin (let’s be honest Harley figures out Red Hood is her Robin, the one that died) they also know how much more Batman cares for them. They’ve seen what happened after the second Robin died, they don’t wanna see what happens if Batman loses all of them at the same time in even closer reach than the one he lost

[jaxallope]

I’ve seen DP x DC fics of all kinds where Danny is adopted by, related to, parent of, or dating one of the batfam

But I need more of Ghostling Jason Todd adopted by Danny

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

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

“Who’s sassy lost baby is this”

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

I really wish there was more like this, if anyone has any feel free to tag them.

[yukurie]

Danny ghost dad (looks 14) popping in behind Jason in the bat cave in the middle of a bat meeting Jason really wished he skipped: Hey son want some cookies? Me and Sam tried making some vegan chocochip!

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

Damian despite himself: Vegan chocolate chip cookies?

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

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

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

Bruce: *error 404, brain not computing*

Hours later

Alfred to Jason: Please do get your “Father’s” cookie recipe

[injuries-in-dust]

I don't know why, but I like the idea of humans being to aliens, what cats are to humans...

Alien1: hey, when did you hire a human?

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

Alien 1: the human distribution system has chosen.

***

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

Alien: Human, get down before you hurt yourself.

The humans response is to climb higher.

***

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

Alien (whispering): I think the human is about to intercept the brain cell. (Laughter) don't worry human, if it tingles that means it's working.

[yukurie]

Ok but you could add sooooo much more to this analogy:

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

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

Cat’s also don’t seem to be able to tell the difference between us and them and the meows they use with us are the kind they use for kittens since we can’t hear their normal sounds, to them we are an especially large and dumb kitten (this is why some cats will bring you prey)

I wanna talk about how the fandom has been treating resets the entire time and other parts of it. In universe not necessarily in the game

In my opinion the way people treat Frisk/the player resetting over and over is very flawed and not actually looked into in stories too much: only really the first 30 resets at maximum could be explained by curiosity to know and try everything possible in the underground. Most stories, aus, and comics only focus on the after while ignoring that realistically there would need to be a reason for whoever has the reset controls to continue to do so. Before anyone brings up Flowey I’ll mention him before continuing: He reset due to boredom and then eventually let time continue due to reseting no longer keeping him entertained.

After about 30 resets like I said Frisk would run out of things to do differently or things to learn about everyone and everything, heck a reset could maybe even last up to 5 years of frisk just learning about everyone so maybe even less than 30 resets. So we need a reason for them to continue. Now there are lots of potential reason and I’ll give a few

maybe Frisk is stuck just like Player is in UNDERPLAYER where they have a set time they reset to and a set time after escaping that they are forced to reset against their will, that would be a good way to go about a story

Maybe Frisk doesn’t remember resets but somehow remembers through loading and if you go with fanon Sans that means Sans meets an old friend every reset but Frisk sees and meets everything for the first time again

Another thing that I have a problem with is how it’s not often that someone plays with the idea of Sans having had experience with resets, sure canon sans likely only has hunches of his fights with Flowey but fanon Sans would know the ins and outs of how resets work at this point, he wouldn’t be surprised and if anything would be frustrated that he has to go through this again (though he likely wouldn’t show it much). Some people have Sans and Flowey not like each other but it never usually goes beyond that too much

[yukurie]

Wait I had an amazing idea: Dcxdp but instead of Danny ending up in the batfam Danny is in metropolis

What if Clark is absolutely sure Danny was a kryptonian with a health condition? So I like the idea of Danny occasionally having to make sure his heart is still beating while in human form and the little stutters sound like a small heart condition to Clark, now this would normally not be a problem as Clark would just keep an eye on Danny but Danny sometimes gets too focused on something and forgets to check his heartbeat and it stops and when he realizes he taps his chest to “get it going again”. Also Clark always just happens to be around when a ghost shows up (yes they followed Danny, they need their enrichment) so he sees and feels the subfreezing mist that comes from Danny’s mouth and sometimes see’s Danny’s eyes glow green accidentally and knows that despite Danny’s “condition” Danny is much stronger than a human should be because of an accident that happened that ended up with Danny lifting he shouldn’t be capable of.

The thing is every time Clark tries to talk to Danny to see if “Danny knows what he is” Danny seems to disappear and somehow Clark can’t follow (hard to track a ghost lol). This culminates in Clark taking the nuclear option: Clark breaking into batman’s cave to use his computer to find out anything he can on Danny. This then leads to Batman coming down to suit up for the first time after a full week of having to show up as Bruce to galas to see a sleep deprived and obviously heavily caffeinated Clark with a bulletin board that looks oddly like a mess of conspiracy theories about Danny in front of the bat computer.
