The Bats Finding Out That Jason Is Alive Because The Fic Tim Had Read From The User JayRobin2222 When

if you’re ever in the position to choose between giving up and accepting defeat, and actually trying to fight the ancient unkillable god that is about to peel apart reality like a string cheese, remember this: scientifically speaking, you might as well give it a shot!

1.there were trees at the beginning of the world! there were trees so long ago that they predate bacteria that causes wood to decay. when a tree fell, it would lie there in stasis and there wasn’t any way of breaking down wood xylem on a molecular level in that way.

2. it seems obvious to say, but wood eating bacteria are literally incapable of comprehending what they’re breaking down. It’s just not information conciously available to a microorganism. they don’t know what they’re deconstructing, where it came from, bacteria have no way to even fathom the existence of a tree as a concept.

3. Regardless of the facts above, the world we live in today is a world where wood inevitably decomposes

it is worth fighting the unkillable god no matter how pointless it seems. it is worth taking the risk even though youre trying to accomplish something impossible. the reality in which you live was also once reality in which trees didn’t rot. You live in a reality that allows for existence before the possibility of destruction. you live in a reality where uncomprehending microbes break down matter that is so far beyond the scope of their comprehension that it feels comical to specify something so obvious. you live in a reality that occasionally allows unshakeable physical truths to be altered with no warning.

It is worth fighting the unkillable god because trees are so old they predate the source of their destruction, and it still did not spare them. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because bacteria rots unthinkingly, because there is room in our cosmos for destruction without comprehension on the part of the destroyer. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because now and then reality retracts the promise of immortality without fanfare, and when that happens there is no mercy for the ancient. the unmaking is not softer for the desecrators ignorance. for all things, existence is endless until the exact point where it ends.

so you might as well try to kill the unkillable god. it doesn’t seem likely, but at the beginning of the world, trees didn’t rot. so you never know! you never know

It's not about the war. But it is about the trauma

J. R. R. Tolkien: no, my books aren't about the war I experienced. It's just a story

J. R. R. Tolkien's works: you cannot go home, war ends entire bloodlines, you are mourning the death of your brother alone, you dug into the earth and permanently scored the land, you cannot explain what you have been through, you cannot go home, "that wound will never fully heal. He will carry it the rest of his life", leaving the women behind does not save them, the young die first, you cannot go home, the parent will bury their child, you have lost the wives and you will never connect with them again, "how shall any tower withstand such numbers and such reckless hate?", you are not the same, you cannot go home, you can never go home, your father will only side with those he sees as worthy bloodlines and you cannot change his mind, it is more meaningful Not to kill, sometimes your sacrifice accomplishes nothing, you cannot go home

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

WAOW

he looks even prettier with the colors

WIIIIIIP

He looks pretty, doesn't he? he looks nice when he's not angry or worried or sad and stuff. well, he looks nice when he's like that too, but it's good that he's not like that all the time anymore. I always traumatise the shit out of him, but he always ends in happiness

Get Ready For FFC 2025: Roadtrip!

February is approaching fast! The 2000s are old enough to rent a car, so we're taking the February Ficlet Challenge on a roadtrip! One of each day's prompts will have something to do with travel or driving.

Start putting together your lists of pairings or characters!

For those just joining us, the FFC works like this:

Make yourself a list of 28 pairings or characters you want to write for.

Check this tumblr every February morning for the day's prompts.

Write a ficlet of at least 200 words using at least one of the day's prompts and the next character or pairing in your list.

Post that ficlet to the February Ficlet Challenge 2025 AO3 Collection.

For hard mode, write and post the ficlet the same day as the prompts go live!

All that said, we're pretty flexible - feel free to write all your ficlets for one pairing; to only write for those of the prompts that speak to you; to post after February is over; to write poems or meta instead of ficlets. We're here to have fun and make more fic happen!

The FFC 2024 AO3 collection will be closing at the end of January.

ugh, was it good? I got stuck when my homunculus started self replicating at incredible speed.

DJ sinister vizier has started playing his mixtape of insidious manipulation for the king

Okay but I would give my left kidney and my firstborn child to see a tv show about JLU Question and Huntress

I mean imagine: sleep-deprived Vic doing his best to organize a surprise birthday party for Helena (because that's what boyfriends do) while doing his best to solve an ancient riddle to stop the Antichrist from ruling the Earth? Question absolutely not giving a damn about the rules and sneaking Huntress into the Watchtower? Question being cornered in some dark alley by some villains he crossed and them getting beaten to pulp by his protective girlfriend? Uncovering some huge conspiracy while dealing with renovation of their first shared apartment?

I would watch the hell out of it

sensei g simply cannot match her freak, it is that simple

I haaaaate Sensei Garmadon/Koko y'all like I'm not gonna lie it goes contrary to everything I stand for. It's such a fucking superficial pairing, just "oh well Sensei Garmadon is clearly the Best Garmadon and Koko is obviously Better Than Misako so we should just put them together and then Lloyd can have perfect parents!" and it's sooo fucking bullshit. I mean for starters those two would have zero chemistry. Koko fell in love with crazy freaky four-armed warlord Garmadon, she would not be interested in a sad, pacifist old man with only two arms. There's just zero appeal to it whatsoever. Even when Koko's paired with other versions of show!Garm it's just so flavourless. Cannot fucking stand it.

I'd wanna hold you just for a while, and die with a smile :)
