Eclipse In Chile

DC AU I'll never write: Entirely normal clowns slowly learn the art of warfare in efforts to take down the Joker's crime empire.

Like normal, balloon-animal making, grease-paint wearing, part-time suburban party clowns out of work after Joker's rise to fame band together. Finally, someone gets the idea to...like...do something about it. Batman isn't going to, and the Police don't even try, so...who else but them...? And it's all, like, elderly clown hobbyists, Moms who do it part time since their kids are still little, a new graduate of clown school who suddenly can't get a job, an art school student who learned clownery for a performance art project, a teenager who only just got into clowning around and is Big Mad she can't enjoy her hobby now...

They don't know who Harley Quinn is but accidentally adopt her into the cause when she's sent to sniff them out and they like her too much. I would also like them to kidnap Robin but also by accident and mostly because he looks cold?? Where's your dad?? You want tea, hun? What's your favorite animal? *is gifted an immaculately twisted balloon elephant*

There really is no feeling quite like discovering a new song that fits your blorbo to a T. Best I can do to convey it is something like

i love people's willingness to get hype over dumb shit.

I was driving home today and pull up to a light. As i'm slowing down i 👁️👁️ lock 👁️👁️ eyes with the dude in the car next to me. I spring into action, this is the moment I've been waiting for.

Now, something you must know about me is I drive around with several small plastic 🦀crabs 🦀 on my dashboard, One: for the whimsy of it all and two: on the off chance i encounter another driver who i think could benefit from witnessing them.

This young gentleman was one such someone.

As i pull up, as previously stated, our eyes lock and I hold up one☝️ finger☝️

Perplexed by my unprompted gesticulation, the young man rolls down his window, "what the devil could this perfect stranger be about to tell me?" he might have been thinking.

I present a singular dashboard crab, green and brown, homely but not without its charm.

I study his reaction, grinning encouragingly. He's nodding, obviously intrigued by my plasticine crustacean.

I wag my finger and shake my head, removing the crab from view. Confusion again, but he leans forward, invested. I have him now.

I grab my second dashboard crab, a rotund white and brown crab, easily the most beautiful of my crabs as it sports large discernible claws of an attractive size and silhouette.

✌️ TWO ✌️ i tell him.

He's cheering now, and rightly so, as these are delightful little beasts that anyone would be happy to encounter. But now comes the clincher, time to seal the deal.

My finger wags once more. He's awestruck, I have him completely enraptured. If a car had come and smeared us both into the pavement we would not have noticed, so wrapped up in my display were we.

I bring out my showstopper: a bright pink spider crab with delicately long legs the likes of which had never before nor since been seen in mid afternoon traffic.

As emphatically as i can express, I display all three of my dashboard crabs to this man, three fingers pressed triumphantly to the glass.

the guy is losing it in his car, mouth wide in what i assume to be a primal shout of crab derived excitement. His arms are pumping so vigorously its shaking his stationary vehicle.

We sit there, sharing in a moment of mutual jubilation, and then the light changes, and we move forward in line. He drives off, honking his horn in rapturous exultation,

and we part ways, exactly the same perhaps but changed nonetheless.

Propaganda as submitted by YOU, in initial entries, tags, and reblogs:

Danny Phantom:

Beaten so far: The Sandman, Anne with an E

"Stupid idiot teenager DIES is mutated and is transcoded"

"God the phandom on this site is insane"

"This show ended over 15 years go, and yet the phandom has been going strong ever since!"

"please consider all the hard work of the phandom keeping danny phantom alive on tumblr"

"the Danny Phantom Phandom is full of rabid gremlins who are mostly also spiteful, stubborn queers, so. This vote's for them."

"The sheer fact of the Wes Weston thing - where the Phandom took a screenshot of an unnamed background character, gave him a name and backstory, and started including him in about 1 out of ever 3 of Danny Phantom fanfics I've ever read? In like, 2014 or so I think? Yeah, the Phandom Goranchov'd before Goncharov."

"we've made up so much about these characters and this world that it's hard to remember what's canon anymore. If that doesn't make it Tumblr's favorite fandom what does?"

Joy of Painting:

Beaten so far: Wizards of Waverly Place, Bluey

"Rip everyone that's not Bob ross"

"PBS childhood classic"

"Joy of painting is so helpful to relax"

"Is this even a contest? Bob Ross all the way."

"bob ross is tumblr culture"

You can only reblog this today.

the way orv beats you over the head with "you can never fully know a story, you can only ever interpret it, this being true doesn't make your love for the story any less real. through communication and interconnection we can grow our understanding of a story. this also applies to yourself." and then hits you with the combo of "now replace Story with Person" and knocks you out cold

"Oh you had a plague? Come back to us when you had a World War, brand new unconventional weapons, and a new international order."

wdym an average platonic bond cant be deep and meaningful do none of you remember the power of friendship

Only day you can reblog this
