I’m back on my bs (yuzuru hanyu inspired Tim figure skater brain rot) he occupies my mind 24/7
Na Jaemin, Number Three
The ability to make people do whatever he asks when he starts a sentence with, “I heard a rumor.”
“Dependability, integrity, the characteristic of never knowingly doing anything wrong, that you would never cheat anyone, that you would give everybody a fair deal. Character is a sort of an all-inclusive thing. If a man has character, everyone has confidence in him.”
Fic
Park Jisung, Number Seven
No ability
The ability to harness and manipulate sound and energy.
“Parents forgive their children least readily for the faults they themselves instilled in them.”
Fic
aximili-esgarrouth-isthil is living the fucking nightmare though tbh
and I don’t even mean the thing about how he got trapped in a crashed ship miles under the ocean only to be informed upon rescue that while he was down there his big brother got eaten alive
I mean imagine you got stranded on an alien planet
and all that stood in the path of galactic annihilation
was your PERSONAL ability to remember perfectly the contents of the class you had at 7:35 your freshman year of high school. the one you passed with a C. the one you mostly spent goofing off in the back with your best friend because it was the only class you had together. or, alternatively, the class RIGHT before lunch (so you were always hungry) that you had with your crush (so you were always kind of distracted watching her)
Your name is Aximili you have Space ADHD and every week you have to take a pop quiz about your high school theoretical physics class and if you ever get a question wrong everyone you know dies.
Also, while you were trapped in a crashed ship miles under the ocean slowly running out of air, your big brother got eaten alive.
A few more Outlaw!Jericho comics from this AU I posted a million years ago! These are all from my P@treon over the last few months - please consider checking it out if you like ‘em! (´∀`)♡
Tim’s started hanging out with the group after Damian showed up! And Joey’s a nice guy, but the Teen Titans stood by while some pretty hideous stuff happened to him so Tim’s got some work to do. Also - as per the comics - Jason’s a dad now! :D
On one hand, Young Justice is kind of neglected by the actual superheroes that should be looking out for them in a lot of crucial ways and very much failed by the adults around them
But on the other hand Red Tornado straight up hosts a parent-teacher conference where their respective legal guardians all show up, barring Batman who’s in traffic so Nightwing fills in instead because Robin’s dad does not know he’s a vigilante which is objectively hilarious
Seeing this while going through a crisis over if getting my English degree is worth it or not is cruel, cruel irony 😭
Saw this image in the reblogs of a post
And as a dishwasher and longtime restaurant worker I just needed to know what the original said so I reverse image searched it and immediately crumpled into the family guy death post on the floor right under my English degree
Had to explain the plot of all for the game to someone who had no prior knowledge and holy shit. (Spoilers) Here’s some of my favorite footnotes from our texts:
To start with it is about a bastardized version of lacrosse called exy
And the yakuza
What
Does the yakuza have to do with lacrosse
The only joy he has is playing exy after his mom died and he burned her body in the first few pages of the book
Ah yes
Hillbilly cremation
10/10 for the environment
I’m honestly scared to actually read it
It made my mental health worse I think
Their mom decided to give up one and keep the other so one grew up in the foster system and one grew up with their abusive mother and they didn’t know abt each other until they were like 13ish? At which point one already had a SEVERE self harm addiction and the other had a severe drug addiction
Bro what 😭😭😭
And was HEAVILY abusive to them and their moms sibling was extremely religious (which sucked for their gay cousin, Nicky-he’s also on the exy team) and forced her to raise Andrew again after abandoning him as a baby and Andrew caught her abusing Aaron so he murdered her at 15ish
MURDER
A VALID MURDER
BUT MURDER
YEAH
AARON WAS NOT STOKED
I CAN IMAGINE
ALSO ANDREW LOCKED AARON IN A BATHRROM COMPLETELY ALONE FOR LIKE A WEEK AND FORCED HIM TO DETOX COLD TURKEY
WTF😭😭😭
Oh also Neil is like 5’4? There’s a lot of short kings in these books
Napoleon syndrome goes hard ig
Also I forgot to mention Kevin and Neil were childhood friends because Neil is technically supposed to be a raven (the ones who brand children) but his mom ran away from him and Neil knows who Kevin is but if I remember right Kevin doesn’t know who Neil is
Someone get these kids therapy
Please
They’d have to admit to all the murder
Get a mob boss therapist idk
TO BE PART OF THE TEAM BC THEY HAVE TO COME FROM FUCKED UP CIRCUMSTANCES THEY SEE BETSY DOBSON
Maybe it’s time to change religions
Atp I don’t see any other solution 😭
I need you to know everything I detailed happened in the first book and THERES FIVE
Fuck religions
Just death
They also go clubbing at a club called Eden’s like all the time
Ah yes, I’m mentally unstable, let me go to a club, shake some ass, grab a dick, and do a joint in the bathroom. Fun Friday night yall.
Also the older members call the younger members “the monsters” bc they’re good at exy but also because they don’t really view them as people
Again you’ve rendered me speechless and not in the fun way
Atp just burn down the school
THE YAKUZA TRIED 😭😭😭
TRY HARDER
ARSON ISNT ROCKET SCIENCE
Russian sleep experiment this author
Please
That summary makes it sound INTERESTING the points you described to me makes me think I should join a JIGSAW GAME I’d walk out of it with less trauma
Please comment some of your favorite fucked up things that happened in aftg 😭
If only one of my posts gets read by amateur authors let it be this:
SUBMIT YOUR WORK TO THE TOP PUBLICATIONS FIRST AND WORK YOUR WAY DOWN!
What do I mean by top? Standards of quality, audience, pay rate, legal contract; it can be anything. What matters is that you set the metric you prefer and aim for the top.
I say this because most new authors think that when submitting short stories, or flash fiction, or poetry, you need past credentials to publish with the highly-ranked publications. That's probably true but the logic is backwards. By the time you're good enough to publish in the highest ranking magazines, you've probably already published in a lot of others. Don't settle, you have nothing to lose.
Let's look at two scenarios. One in which you believe in your writing and one in which you don't.
The confident writer starts submitting to all the top publications. They submit, wait for a rejection, and submit again to a different one. They slowly work down the line until finally they hit the very top of the range of publications that are willing to accept their work. They now know what market they have a chance in and what markets to read from to improve.
The insecure writer starts submitting to all the unknown/unpaid/unvetted publications. They need to build credentials before they can submit to the preferred publications, right? If they don't get scammed out of rights they slowly move up the line of publications. They stop when they get accepted by the very bottom range of publications that will pay them the least amount, or give the least exposure, and think themselves lucky. And now they find themselves gaining much less confidence, and much less understanding of the markets, than if they started from the top. They'll have markets they believe they have to learn from when really they've surpassed them.
Even in the worst case publishing scenario: only one market accepts your publication at the very bottom, the only thing that is lost by being confident is your time. With any other publications willing to accept your work, you're guaranteed to get the better deal by being confident. Starting from the bottom is only self sabotage.
You may get more rejections (or even fewer than you think), but if you keep your head up and keep pushing, it'll be better for your writing and your confidence in the long run.
Besides, you'll probably be scammed less if you start with the ones that everyone trusts.
