If Danny keeps Kicking people out (back to the land of the Living) does that Technically make him the Bouncer? Kinda?
Normally, Constantine wouldn't care, but the reports are...odd.
It's a club that no one knows the name of, and apparently the only way to be permitted entrance is to just 'follow the wind' and eventually end up there?
Whoever attends has the equivalent of a religious experience, and is never the same again. Sometimes they display PTSD, sometimes they go from shy and quiet to boisterous and super extroverted; it's an unpredictable scale.
But they all say they had the time of their lives.
It sounds like magic, honestly.
More concerning, there's also talk of drugs that no one knows the names of. Talks of people who had friends eat or drink at the club and found themselves unable to leave. People who go in and literally forget their name.
It sounds fae.
He...maybe admits he needs to look at before some fae court enslaves all of London.
So he takes to wandering the streets of London at night, just willing himself to find the damn place.
Also trying to find anything off or odd, and following unknown magic signatures that could be fae in nature.
After a month, he finally finds it.
Except it isn't fae.
It's a club in the Infinite Realms, only accessible through a constantly moving portal.
Which.
Is so much worse than the fae, for so many reasons.
First and foremost, there's definitely a lot more missing people he has to find and drag back to the mortal realm, if they're still alive. And sane.
Why is there a lot more people missing?
Because the portal is constantly moving, which means there's no way it's just been migrating through the backalleys of London.
This is confirmed when he meets eyes with a very exhausted looking Green Arrow, who has been missing for a good three weeks last Constantine heard.
Green Arrow tiredly lifts up a glass of something in a toast, beckoning Constantine over.

What are some chronic illnesses that can only occur in a fantasy setting?
Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

Unique vintage male names, companion to this post:
There are less of them because people seemed to be less creative with naming their sons. Not sure why.
Since you guys like my male name list, here are some vintage girl’s names from old historic documents, recently updated:
(Sorry I listed the name origin/individual’s place of birth on some and not others.)

At which point Jack and Maddie Immediately put away the weapons and Smile at Red Hood and say: Oh! Why thank you then! In that case we’ll be careful to Protect his Identity from here on out!
And like. Are Genuinely So Nice(TM) to him that they take his Number so they can Keep in Contact for if they ever come to Gotham Again. Also Maybe they give him some Fudge and also probably Ghost Hunting Weapons as thanks (cause like Everyone knows Red Hood is A Guns Guy, what better gift to give him as thanks for protecting their son!).
And That’s how Red Hood got Adopted by the Fentons.
(Now further out in the future though… that depends on if you wanna go with the Fentons being Good Parents or Bad Parents.
Say eventually Danny Figures out he’s a Halfa and Maybe Hides it for a While. And Depending on how the Fentons React… well his Next Phone call to Jason would be Interesting to say the least.
In the Good Timeline, Maybe the Fentons Realize that Hood is Drenched in Corrupted Ecto (Lazarus Pit Waters) and Call him over to Amity to go through the Portal with Danny for a Healing Sesh with Frostbite, Turning him into a Proper/Healthy Halfa too.
In the Bad Timeline, Danny calls Jason as he’s on the Run on the Way to Gotham, after his Parents Kicked him Out/Threatened to Vivisection him/Started Vivisecting him)
Danny's powers didn't activate all at once after going into the Ghost Portal, in fact they hadn't even fully realized what happened for months. They assumed the change in appearance was just their eyes adjusting to the flashing because of how quickly it appeared then vanished again. But, as more things started happening to Danny and started changing, Danny couldn't help but wonder if maybe his accident had resulted in more than a permanent star that ran up his left arm to his heart.
He didn't tell Sam or Tucker though, after all Meta-Humans were so rare that there was no way they would believe him! Plus, if he told them then it would only be a matter of time before more people knew. So, he kept it to himself.
Which worked until Summer Break when Danny went to Gotham with his parents and Jazz for a Ghost Hunting Exp. Danny had no interest in 'Ghost Hunting' (though he had begun to do more of it after he realized that he could kind of sense and see the ghosts), so instead of listening to the expo he was going around learning more and more about the city. Gotham had some amazing other exhibits, an observatory, museums with huge space displays, and more interesting things than Ghosts.
Plus, it had the highest population of heroes!
Danny didn't expect that his second day in Gotham would end up so differently from the first one. It all started with a little girl about nine who had been crossing the street when chaos broke loose. An explosion on the next block rocked the entire city, causing Danny's skin to crawl, but what mad him sick was the fact that the explosion had thrown a car directly towards the little girl and a crowd of people.
Everybody else scattered, including the woman the girl had been walking with who seemed to forget her in an instant as they got out of the way of the car. But the little girl didn't move, just started terrified at the approaching car.
"Get out of the way!" People shouted to the girl, but unlike the rest of them Danny's instincts were screaming one thing.
Protect.
Danny ran forward as quickly as his legs could manage as he tried to beat gravity itself. Danny made it to the girl without a second to spare, wrapping her into a hug.
"Please work, please work, please work!" Danny thought, struggling to get his powers to work as he felt himself turn intangible with the girl turning intangible with him.
No sooner did his powers kick in did the car slam into the ground where they were standing before it bounced and rolled down the street, leaving a dent around the two of them but leaving both Danny and the girl untouched.
Danny let his power drop, as the girl looked at him for a second before she burst into tears and hugged him. Danny's vision swam as he hugged her back, fixing her hair.
"I gotcha, you're okay..." Danny told her, then let her go as the woman who had left her in the street called her.
The girl sniffled, then ran to the woman as Danny tried to stand. He could hear people talking, cheering and some were even applauding but it all sounded really far away. He could also hear another car approaching, but as his vision faded and his body felt as though it was filled with led nothing felt important anymore.
---
The Bats had tried to race to get to the civilians before the car hit them and had failed. Thankfully, the majority of people had managed to get out of the way to a safe distance but there was a little girl still in the road. None of them wanted to see the girl die, but they knew realistically they couldn't make it to her.
But somebody did.
No sooner did the stranger save the girl and let her go did they collapse into the middle of the street.
Suddenly it was no longer 'save civilians from a car that got partially blown up in Penguins newest scheme' but 'get the unknown Meta out of the street before his face was exposed to every media outlet throughout the city'.
My random unsubstantiated hypothesis of the day: the popularity of "stim" videos, fidget toys, and other things like that is a warning sign that something's Deeply Wrong with our world.
Don't freak out. I am autistic. These things are not bad. However, can we just...take a second to notice how weird it is that there are entire social media accounts full of 10-second videos of things making crunching noises, people squishing slime in their hands, and objects clacking together, and that enjoying them is mainstream and normal?
It seems that nowadays, almost everyone exhibits sensory-seeking behavior, when just a decade ago, the idea of anyone having "sensory needs" was mostly obscure. It is a mainstream Thing to "crave" certain textures or repetitive sounds.
What's even weirder, is that it's not just that "stim" content is mainstream; the way everything on the internet is filmed seems to look more like "stim" content. TikToks frequently have a sensory-detail-oriented style that is highly unusual in older online content, honing in on the tactile, visual and auditory characteristics of whatever it's showing, whether that's an eye shadow palette or a cabin in a forest.
When an "influencer" markets their makeup brand, they film videos that almost...highlight that it's a physical substance that can be smudged and smeared around. Online models don't just wear clothes they're advertising, they run their hands over them and make the fabric swish and ripple.
I think this can be seen as a symptom of something wrong with the physical world we live in. I think that almost everyone is chronically understimulated.
Spending time alone in the forest has convinced me of this. The sensory world of a forest is not only much richer than any indoor environment, it is abundant with the sorts of sensations that people seem to "crave" chronically, and the more I've noticed and specifically focused on this, the more I've noticed that the "modern" human's surroundings are incredibly flat in what they offer to the senses.
First of all, forests are constantly permeated with a very soft wash of background noise that is now often absent in the indoor world. The sound of wind through trees has a physiological effect you can FEEL. It's always been a Thing that people are relaxed by white noise, which leads to us being put at ease by the ambient hum of air conditioning units, refrigerators and fans. But now, technology has become much more silent, and it's not at all out of place to hypothesize that environments without "ambient" white noise are detrimental to us.
Furthermore, a forest's ambience is full of rhythmic and melodic elements, whereas "indoor" sounds are often harsh, flat and irregular.
Secondly: the crunch. This is actually one of the most notably missing aspects of the indoor sensory world. Humans, when given access to crunchable things, will crunch them. And in a forest, crunchy things are everywhere. Bark, twigs and dry leaves have crisp and brittle qualities that only a few man-made objects have, and they are different with every type of plant and tree.
Most humans aren't in a lot of contact with things that are "destroyable" either, things you can toy with and tear to little bits in your hands. I think virtually everyone has restlessly torn up a scrap of paper or split a blade of grass with their thumbnail; it's a cliche. And since fidget toys in classrooms are becoming a subject of debate, I think it pays to remember that the vast majority of your ancestors learned everything they knew with a thousand "fidget toys" within arm's reach.
And there is of course mud, and clay, and dirt, and wet sand. I'm 100% serious, squishing mud and clay is vital to the human brain. Why do you think Play-Doh is such a staple elementary school toy. Why do you think mud is the universal cliche thing kids play in for fun. It's such a common "stim" category for a reason.
I could go on and on. It's insane how unstimulating most environments humans spend time in are. And this definitely contributes to ecological illiteracy, because people aren't prepared to comprehend how detailed the natural world is. There are dozens of species of fireflies in the United States, and thousands of species of moths. If you don't put herbicides on your lawn, there are likely at least 20 species of plant in a single square meter of it. I've counted at least 15 species of grass alone in my yard.
Would it be overreach to suggest that some vital perceptive abilities are just not fully developing in today's human? Like. I had to TEACH myself to be able, literally able, to perceive details of living things that were below a certain size, even though my eyes could detect those details, because I just wasn't accustomed to paying attention to things that small. I think something...happens when almost all the objects you interact with daily are human-made.
The people that think ADHD is caused by kids' brains being exposed to "too much stuff" by Electronic Devices...do not go outside, because spending a few minutes in a natural environment has more stimuli in it than a few hours of That Damn Phone.
A patch of tree bark the size of my phone's screen has more going on than my phone can display. When you start photographing lots of living organisms, you run into the strange and brain-shifting reality that your electronic device literally cannot create and store images big enough to show everything you, in real life, may notice about that organism.
Oh no Definitely Don’t click the link
Ever wanted to read the Trollhunters books but you can't even buy them because they've apparently been taken off the market and practically from existence? Spent weeks searching for online versions before eventually giving up?
It has all of the trollhunters side adventure books as well as the two comics in easily accessible pdf form, so we wouldn't want that to spread! Definitely do not share with your friends!
These books have a lot of really interesting characters that don't appear in the series, and we absolutely don't want more people to know about them! A single person in the whole entire fandom making occasional fanart of them is enough!
@maya-why don’t hide this in the tags it’s Absolutely Hilarious (and 100% True)
hello police inspector singh this is your daughter i do not know her
Oh this is AMAZING!!!
ALSO Wait I Just Realized Something.
NOTENRIQUE.
He would be like Somewhere in the Range of 13-15 At that point right? Would The Trollhunters even Realize that he’s a Changeling??
If they went to go get Baby Enrique from the Darklands then what would their Cover Be For Notenrique (Assuming that he’s switched over to their side by that point)?
Actually on that Note how would they Explain Baby Enrique to People Not in the Trollhunters Circle? Accidental Baby Acquisition? Adoption? Would Claire Parent Him? Would She and Jim Co-Parent??
Merlin did expect Jim to be a teen. He said it himself. He said he’s been off by 14 years, which would, if we assume that it’s +14 years, and not that he expected Jim to be 2 yo, which would bring our boy to 30.
Can you imagine the actual difference that would have made???
A 30 yo is an adult, with formed believes and some established achievements. A 30 yo finished high school, went to college, finished college, had a job, had a long-term relationship, maybe even lived apart from his mother, basically someone who already has some sort of personal individual existence. A 30 yo is fully responsible for his decisions, or at least should be. A 30 yo has life experiences to fall back on.
A 16 yo has none of that.
And Merlin understands that. Merlin makes a choice for him, knowing full well that this child with anxiety and issues and a protector complex will do as planned if the pressure is applied in all the right places. Which is exactly what he did.
Honestly, I need a fic where James Lake Jr, a 30 yo man who works at a local high cuisine restaurant and also is part-time Home Ec teacher at Arcadia High who, on the way to school in the morning discovers the amulet.
I need his gf, who he lives with, the leading actress of the town’s troupe, to be strangely concerned for him picking glowing stuff on the street.
I need his best friend, the headliner of the Arcadia Radio Station, to be convinced that Maybe We Should Not Talk About This On The Radio.
I want Jim in the teacher’s lounge at 10 am drinking bad coffee and making fun of Strickler cause “Man, you must really age well, since you look EXACTLY the same as you did when you taught me history. You are what, sixty now?”
I want Barbara, the head of the clinic, asking Jim over dinner if he is ever going to marry that girl, because it looks like the two of them are pretty damn ready for that. She is not asking for grandchildren, that’s their deal, but it’s been a while since she has been to a nice wedding.
And most importantly, I want Jim to look Merlin in the eye and tell him to fuck off.
Y'KNOW WHAT, TUMBLR? YOU CAN HAVE THESE TOO! NO LONGER SHALL TWITTER AND TIKTOK HOLD THE PRIVILEGES! This is the first one. More to come shortly. It's RotTMNT but to the 2003 intro song!
