it feels so evil that you can't still access your university online library after you graduate *remembers my principles* it feels so evil that everyone can't access to that stuff all the time
That is very true.

Constantine: What? Why are you folk silent?
Green Arrow: Since when were you married?!
Constantine: A good long while mate why?
Flash: No ring?! You never told anyone you were married?
Batman: You didn't update your paperwork for that but that aside. Our situation.
Green Arrow: We aren't glossing over that right?
Batman: Mission first.
Constantine: What Spooky said- HEY! ELLIE, BILLY, OFF THE TABLE. Hold I need to grab her. *Puts the call on mute*
Wonder Woman: Constantine seems to be a family man.
Superman: His household sounds like mine.
Batman: Hm.
Flash: Ellie? Billy? Those sound like kid nicknames, he has kids too!
Green Arrow: Probably.
Danny: Hello? Are you still with us?
Wonder Woman: Yes we are hello Mrs. Constantine?
Danny: Oh hun you can just call me Danny please. Love, you are going to drop him if you hold him like that. Sorry we are trying to rangle a bunch of kids right now.
Batman: It is fine, we understand we caught you in the middle of something but we have a situation-
Danny: Yeah Jo told me. From what I got it's nothing big, Vortex is always a big show no power I swear. In the sticks of Illinois there's a town called Amity Park. You are going to want to find the Fentonworks building and you can pretty much grab the appropriate gear to make sure you don't get overshadow- what? Oh. "Possessed". Ew I hate how that sounds. Don't give me that look.
Batman: Thank you Miss.
Danny: No problems! I will make sure John gives my personal number to y'all so ya can call if it's anything bigger. Trust me, if it was worse I would have taken care of it myself- Ellie why are you crying we told you to leave Dante alone when- take this.
Constantine: She answered your questions. I have to go if You couldn't already hear. Little- why are you biting me? *Call ends*
Flash: That was the most informative and confusing call we have ever had with him.
Everyone else: Agreed.

āour teeth and ambitions are baredā is a zeugma
and itās a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND
I didnāt know about zeugmas until just now! That isĀ so awesome, everybody:Ā
zeugĀ·ma ĖzoĶoÉ”mÉ/
noun
a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses (e.g.,John and his license expired last weekĀ ) or to two others of which it semantically suits only one (e.g.,Ā with weeping eyes and heartsĀ ).
ISNāT THAT AWESOME??
#in english class in high school my teacher had us write our own zeugmas in class#and one guy came up with āhe fell from her favorā¦ and the windowā#i am forever looking for opportunities to use that one

Reblogging not for the first nor the last time. Thereās just something right about this conjunction of laid-back music and lively weather...
A lot of pop psychology gets thrown around and since I already have a headache, here's preventing you lot from making it worse.
Love-bombing: A manipulation tactic of increasing affection and grand gestures before or after doing something abusive, specifically to weasel one's way out of consequences.
What it is not: A streak of affection and generosity towards friends/loved ones.
Trauma-bonding: Knowingly traumatizing someone to take advantage of their vulnerable state, to then act like the "hero" or the one who cheers them up.
What it is not: Bonding over similar traumas.
Gaslighting: *Knowingly* convincing someone they cannot trust their own perception of a situation in pursuit of one's own narrative.
What it is not: Misaligned perception of events.
Narcissist: Someone afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a traumagenic cluster B disorder, that struggles with self-obsession, paranoia, craving validity from the public, delusions of grandeur, and social disconnection.
It is not: Your rubbish ex that cheated on you.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Oh... That's what trauma bonding is. Oh.
I *also* didn't know that trauma bonding and love-bombing were... that. added to lexicon and course correcting...

Talking to friends with inept parents is crazy. No wonder theyāre like this if their parents kept fumbling
āIām having trouble adapting to my adult responsibilitiesā well no wonder, nobody raised you ššš
Hot tip for future parents: you actually have to guide your kid to adulthood. Feeding them and waiting for them to grow up is not enough since they are not house plants. A little more thought and care is required.
for those lacking certain "adulting" skills, especially things around the house, check out:
mom, how do i...?
and dad, how do i...?
^ there are tons of other resources but these two will teach you some personal hygiene, home or apartment repairs, easy recipes and basic cleaning techniques, even how to schedule doctor's appointments
if youre a renter i cannot recommend the trans handyma'am enough, mercury is a lifesaver, and her channel and accounts are always accepting new questions
there are so many resources, a lot that you dont have to even ask for, just know how to look š©· much love
But what if your childhood was shitty and traumatizing and you were meek and quiet as a kid so get a sweet little kitten and eventually as you grow and realize your worth and become more confident that kitten slowly grows into a lion.
Usually, when I bring kids their Companions, itās a happy day.
Most parents like to throw parties for their children. Make it a bigĀ ālifetime milestoneā type deal. Sometimes, if there are a lot of birthdays on the same day, they do events at the local schools. I never really have to call ahead - people know Iām coming. The roster at the head offices keeps a running record, and Deliverers like me pack up the Untouched Eggs (wearing gloves, of course), and set out to cover their area for the day. I work six days a week, and sometimes I take emergency runs if Iām nearby and another district is overwhelmed. Overtime is common, but so are short days, when only a small number of kids are hitting ten.
Itās a job that has me travelling a lot. i go wherever thereās the most need for Deliverers. We donāt like to be late; tenth birthdays are an important matter. But I like being on the road. It lets me see a lot of the country.
Keep reading
Itās always such a pleasure to read a short story that so clearly, cleverly, and magically creates a whole different universe. I would read a seven book series of this, from any perspective. Thank you @feynites for writing this and posting it on here! This really made my day something special.
Tucker's mom invites him to Take Your Son to Work Day
So! Tucker hasn't talked to his mom in a little while, he usually stays with his Dad and Step-Mom in Amity, but every once in a while he'll go over to Washington DC to visit his Bio Mom.
And she recently just called him to ask if he wanted to visit the White House on Bring your Child to Work Day. She works there as the Secretary of Defense, and he is actually really interested in what she does for work.
So, he get picked up and taken to Washington, where he meets up with his Mom.
Amanda Waller.
...
For the record, Amanda Waller knows she's not a good person, and Definitely not a Good Mom. But she thinks she is at least semi-decent, look, she even invited her son to Bring Your Child To Work Day!
And look how much fun he is having running around the Argus Labs! She knew he was a Tech Geek, but he is really getting into it.
Right now he's looking at their Confiscated Alien Tech, and the smile on his face is actually making Amanda feel a little happy. Oh, what's he doing now? What's he doing with the Coffee Maker? Why is he taking that Screwdriver from that Toolbo-
What is he doing with the Alien Tech?!
She rushes over to stop him, but stops dead in her tracks when she sees what he did. Somehow, he had just taken a Busted Alien Cooling Unit, took some parts from the Coffee Maker, and turned it into a Freeze Ray.
"Oh, sorry Mom. Do you want me to put it back the way it was?"
"...do you want a Job?"
"...I'm 14."
As soon as the anti Ecto acts get brought up? Tucker is ringing his Mom. Mom! No! I count as one! You cannot!! Imagine the ruckus she would cause to make sure they don't pass? And the confusion people feel. Why isn't she using this for her own purposes? Well you see, because she is. Her son, and his two best friends! Are her in to get information and tech. By helping them? They will help her. After all, she saved them from something horrible. And she's always so happy to listen to their side. About the Infinite Realms. How they work. What sort of tech you can make with ectoplasm infusions.
Heck, her boy is an excellent hacker and coder. Good at tech as well. His over powered best friend! One of the best young engineers she's ever seen? Young Miss Manson! Well she's got all the anger and drive with no true purpose. But Amanda? She can help her with that. Learning that they, and their classmates are slowly becoming more and more 'liminal'? That's a whole cities worth of kids she saved. With interesting powers and changes. That they are happy to test in a safe environment.
Why wouldn't she fight against those laws? She has so much to gain. Regardless of all she has to gain, her boy is affected. She may not be the best Mother. But that is HER boy. No one is touching him on her watch.
Oh absolutely. Everyone forgets the other side of the Machiavellian Bastard. Sure they'll feed orphans into the war machine for their own ends.... but they'll ALSO sit through a 5 hour Kumbaya session and smile as they hug the teens they pulled from that burning van. Because HELLO free resources~ā don't mind if they DO~~
You get more flies with honey and all that.
Amanda is on Humanity's side. Against living Gods and forces beyond comprehension. Mortal men with the power of a nuke in their fuckin nipples. She's making the ugly choices in an insane world. But SOMETIMES? She doesn't have too! She gets HANDED the information she needs.
It's her favorite day at the office.
Ghosts are her FAVORITE Supernatural force. Because, now? Now she has effectively King Superman on speed dial. He's BFFs with her son. Life long loyalty. Fiercely Pro-humanity. Can be bribed with space rocks and astronaut meet ups. The occasional bizarre smoothie and a pizza.
And the REST of the ghosts? All she needs to do is put her men in a gaudy belt, hand them a thermos, and tell them to listen for whatever the Ghost is shouting about. The use THAT to play "go, fetch!". Oh? You like boxes? Want this SHINY one? *throws it into an open area* *waits until Boxy dives for it then sucks him into the thermos*
There is even a WARDEN she can hand ghost criminals over too. Proper jurisdiction. None of this flighty magic user hand waving. Just call up Mr. Walker, request an officer, and inform him who's breaking the law, where. She can even hire that hunter for bounties on occasion.
And best of ALL? None! Not a SINGLE one of those teens feels compelled to slap on spandex and go running around like they're above the law. Ready at the drop of a hat to defend Earth, but otherwise? Lawyers, influencers, and chemists. Bakers and school teachers. And ALL of them owe her. Think highly of her. Would side with her against any tyrannical attempted take overs.
Even BETTER? If worst comes to worst? They're REPEATABLE.
So, yes. You damn WILL be keeping your god damn hands off her Ghosts! Limnals too! All of it! Everything dies you god damn idiots! Get used to it! And as far as she's concerned? The sooner to make peace with that? The sooner you can get access to that "Everything"!
Even Mr Fenton went on to do anything other than 'heroics'. He is the guiding star of ghost/human relations. The neutral zone enforcer as it were. He's such a bright lad. And ever so glad to work with her to study(ethically, we have to keep them happy), the Realms. Act as an ambassador of sorts. He also makes some insane gadgets.
Her lad and Mr Fenton? Are the dream team. She put them through college, and now they work for her. Building tools to expand humanities understanding of the universe. And protect humanity from threats beyond their scope. That Mr Fenton has access to research from dead worlds? Her position has never been more secure. The department know her 'kids' only trust her.
Because SHE was the one that helped them. SHE saved them from inhumane treatment. From being studied. And look at what has come from it? How many of their school mates ended up working for her? Or still call with interesting information from time to time. A little thank you here and there.
She could not have created a better situation if she tried. Even better? The 'heroes' can't do anything. They always try to interfere with her suicide squads. But this? Amanda has the moral high ground. And it is a sweet, sweet victory.
Besides all that, her son got to grow up safely. Which she always wanted. That's the point of all this. She wants humanity safe. And she managed to push that a little further along. Best decision of her career. Now, down to the labs. The boys found some interesting idea for ectoplasm. Something about space travel? She doesn't quite understand the finer details. But she does know it will make space travel a lot faster. And a lot safer. She can just see the potential used for securing the Earth. Is a good day to be The Bitch.
Also? If Waller has a source of diverse superpowers that are relatively safe & repeatable to hand out? She doesn't need to go with the Ultimen "Keep cloning them every couple months before they destabilize" BS. Maybe the Ultimen are a group of Liminal kids from Amity Park who want to serve their country more directly. All clean & above-board.
Ohh! Yes! She can either keep up a ridiculously expensive procedure. Or, she can recruit the Amity kids who want to go the military route. She will definitely take the second option. Especially as they can keep their experiences. making them grow better at making the right choices over time.
The sheer diversity of their minor powers is also a boon. She can have several small units that at highly trained. And cover a number of different specialities. Kitted out with Tucker and Danny's technology. Trained by the best, living and dead. What's not to love.
The Justice League kind of hate it. But they also kind of like it. She's cut down on certain unethical actions. Purely because she doesn't need to make them anymore. The fact that her most loyal employees all come from four graduating classes, from one school? Is obviously worrying. Until they dig a bit. And realise that she just managed to make an excellent political and personal move.
Add to them the ghosts that she can call on now? Frostbite would gladly share his medical research. Technus is in the labs with Tucker and Danny almost daily. And all she has to give them is an equal share of knowledge? Oh yes, she loves this. Hell, she is fully willing to put Chief Frostbite's oldest cub through medical school. Imagine what could come from that?

The fact that animals that care for their young will sometimes adopt others' lost or orphaned young to raise along their own is just funny to me. I know that it's all hormonal and there's no conscious thought involved in it, but the internal logic of it is so funny.
"Baby = success. More baby = more success. I have one baby and I found four other baby. I have five baby. I am being so fucking successful right now."
