text post memes + some of my favorite followers atm... i lov them 🤍
i’m rewatching the apothecary diaries season 1 in preparation for starting season 2 (i like to wait until a little bit into the season to start new shows) and i forgot how immediately jinshi’s whole “maomao glared at me like i was a bug and i got so hard i passed out for a second” thing started. literally the moment he realized his #prettyboyswag moves were actually making her shudder in disgust he was sooooo ready to become her full time malewife.
think abt it. he has been raised with a silver spoon in his mouth and everyone around him chomping at the bit to make him happy (besides his nanny and gaoshun’s family ig) and then this wickedly smart servant girl begrudgingly treats him with the only bare minimum amount of respect she can get away with considering their statuses and doesn’t even bother to hide her distain for his whole Deal and he’s this close to proposing marriage, eunuch cover be damned.
maomao please put this man on a leash already his desperation is scaring the hoes
Dan joined the Justice League after he got the all-clear on his mental state. It was nice being away from Amity Park and the Ghost Zone. And away from Danny. Even if he was Dani's mentor as she was in the kiddie league.
During a League meeting, a glowing green rift started opening up. Everyone but Dan was ready to fight whatever came out of it. Dan just sat there, waiting.
"Dan!" Danny cried, coming through the portal and closing it.
"No." Dan answered. The rest of the Leaguers looked confused.
"Come on! Please!" Danny asked.
"No."
"Do you know him, Wraith?" Superman asked cautiously. Dan didn't share much about himself, but they normally could get information from Dani.
"Yes!" "Unfortunately." Came Danny and Dan's replies simultaneously.
Danny made an affronted noise. "Unfortunately? We're technically the same person!" He cried before taking on a much calmer tone. "Which brings me to why I'm here-"
Dan cut him off smugly. "No."
"But, Dan!" Danny whined.
"Should have let me keep my timeline then."
"That timeline was horrible and you know it," Danny pouted. "Please. Just this once?"
"So..." Started Flash.
"What's he going on about?" Asked Green Lantern.
"He's the Ghost King. He wants me to take over his court duties," Dan explained. "Has tried to trick me and Phantasm into doing them for him multiple times. It never works, so I have no idea why he keeps trying."
"I didn't ask to be king," Danny pouted more, crossing his arms.
"Nope, you're doing great though." Dan's grin was just sharp enough for Danny to know that he was trying to egg him on. If he didn't start the fight then it couldn't be misconstrued as a bid for the crown.
"You-!" Danny cut himself off, eyes narrowing. "I know what you're doing and it's not going to work."
Dan just hummed looking at his nails.
"Can I bribe you into being king for the day?" Danny asked.
"No."
Danny threw his hands up. "Oh, come on!"
Ra’s: Who turned the Lazarus Pit purple?
Nyssa: Are those bath bombs?
Talia: *calmly sipping her tea*
Ra’s, to Talia: It’s one of your spawn again, I just know it.
Talia: I’ll have you know my children are both perfect angels.
Nyssa: *poorly concealed snort*
Meanwhile, back in Gotham:
Jason: I have to admit, I’m impressed.
Bruce: Jason, stop encouraging this.
Jason: What? I’m not encouraging it, I’m just saying it’s impressive.
Steph: Thanks. I just felt like I wasn’t contributing much to the annoy Ra’s effort.
Bruce: No, no effort. There is no effort.
Tim, walking into the Cave: Hey, anyone know why Ra’s texted me asking for an alibi?
Jason: It was Steph?
Tim: Seriously? That’s amazing! What’d you do?
Bruce: STOP ENCOURAGING THIS.
Tim: What? it’s just Ra’s. We annoy him all the time.
Bruce: *one more thread of mental sanity snapping in the background*
Bruce: I don’t want to know, but I feel compelled to, so by show of hands, who here routinely pokes a bear with a stick?
Jason: I’m telling Ra’s you called him that. *whips out his phone and begins texting*
Bruce: I did not… Not the point. Can you all just PLEASE stop antagonizing a supervillain?
Damian: Grayson said a little harmless teasing was a sort of bonding activity between family members.
Jason: Yeah, just letting gramps know we’re thinking about him.
Damian: And how we will one day dismantle his entire legacy.
Tim, cackling: I’m telling him you called him gramps. *begins texting*
Steph: Wow, and all I did was get some bath bombs in the Lazarus Pit.
Damian: My respect for you has increased, Brown.
Steph: Thanks, kid. Your mom helped.
Bruce: *pained sounds*
Later:
Talia: So what are your thoughts on Jason?
Steph: Yeah, he’s pretty cool.
Talia: Would you be willing to consider entering into a…
Jason: MOM! STOP TRYING TO SET ME UP!
Steph: Uh…
Talia, shrugging: It was worth a try.
dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)
you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points
we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)
"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is
tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on
this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app
Your gender is now the first randomized wikipedia article you get. No rerolls.
I lost the prompt for this, but it was basically "Danny ends up at Gotham Academy For Reasons, tries to annoy the Lone Sane Man Damian into being friends with him for a week, which ends with Damian dragging this irritation in an alley, giving in to his anger enough to punch him, only to learn that's the best way to start making friends with a ghost." In my version, Vlad has decided to focus more on becoming a Father Figure to Danny and simultaneously working to undermine his position as Phantom, starting with stepping down as mayor, moving to Gotham, and convincing Maddie and Jack to allow him to fund Danny's entry into the prestigious Gotham Academy where Danny could get the academic support he needs to succeed, pointing out Danny's abysmal grades and attendance as proof of this necessity. They agree, sign temporary guardianship over to Vlad, and Danny is forcibly sent to the preppiest school in New Jersey.
He doesn't fit in with the rich crowd because he gives off strong middle class vibes. He doesn't fit in with the scholarship crowd because, though he's smart, his study skills have gone to crap and his entry grades are only accepted because Vlad had the money to pay for his tuition, and most everyone in between is put off because, if he was considered weird in Amity, he's seen as a freak here. In Gotham, that translates to potential rogue, so even the teachers treat him with suspicion (ignore that this is the best way to push Danny into roguedom. We're going for realism, not how troubled kids should be treated to ensure they grow up feeling loved and not in need of villainous coping mechanisms).
The only one that treats him neutrally and has, when the bullying escalated (to a level of annoyance for him) defended Danny is a kid with Middle Eastern features he learns, with some work, is named Damian. Damian lets him eat with him. Damian is effortlessly cool without being a bully. Damian is even liminal! That's all Danny needs to start thinking maybe, just maybe, he could become friends with the one guy that tolerates him sitting at the same lunch table. He's made friends with more prickly people, after all!
I had a dream that the king and the queen of a small country had a daughter. They needed a son, a first-born son, so in secret, without telling anyone of their child’s gender, they travelled to the nearby woods that were rumoured to house a witch.
They made a deal with that witch. They wanted a son, and they got one. A son, one made out of clay and wood, flexible enough to grow but sturdy enough to withstand its destined path, enchanted to look like a human child. The witch asked for only one thing, and that was for their daughter.
They left the girl readily.
The witch raised her as her own, and called her Thyme. The princess grew up unknowing of her heritage, grew up calling the witch Mama, and the witch did her very best to earn that title.
She was taught magic, and how to forage in the woods, how to build sturdy wooden structures and how to make the most delicious stews. The girl had a good life, and the witch was pleased.
The girl grew into a woman, and learned more and more powerful magics, grew stronger from hauling wood and stones and animals to cook, grew smarter as the witch taught her more.
She learned to deal with the people in the villages nearby, learned how to brew remedies and medicines and how to treat illness and injury, and learned how to tell when someone was lying.Â
Every time the pair went into town, the people would remark at just how similar Thyme was to her mother.Â
(Thyme does not know who and what she is. She does not know that she was born a princess, that she was sold. She only knows that one night after her mother read her a story about princesses and dragons, her mother had asked her if she ever wanted to be a princess.)
((Thyme only knows that she very quickly answered no. She likes being a witch, thank you very much, she likes the power that comes with it and the way that she can look at things and know their true nature.))
The witch starts preparing the ritual early, starts collecting the necessities in the winter so they can be ready by the fall equinox. Her daughter helps, and does not ask what this is for, just knows that it is important.
The witch looks at Thyme, both their hands raised into the air over a complicated array of plants, tended carefully to grow into a circle, and says, sorry.
