Dc x dp prompt #21

Danny stopped physically aging when he died in the portal, so after a few years he left to live in the ghost zone.

He still kept in contact with his friends, but they were busy with school and making new friends.

He wasn’t jealous. Really.

When he was sixteen though, he met the ghost of the second Robin—Jason, Danny later found his name to be—and they hit it off almost immediately.

Like calls to like, opposites attract, call it what you will, but they were inseparable.

Until Jay disappeared one day.

—

Fast forward six or so years.

By now, Danny’d learned to shapeshift his body into anything he wanted, his true age included. It was really draining, but seeing the living world was worth it.

He was currently wondering around Gotham, he’d come to visit Sam but she’d been in class at Gotham U at the time, so he decided to take a walk through the mall.

Where he felt a familiar presence in a small group of what looked to be either friends or family.

He had to stop himself from openly staring at them in his confusion.

Now, he had never forgotten Jason, but his ghostly friend had slipped to the back of his mind over the years.

But that feeling was definitely Jay’s core. He’d remember it anywhere.

That was Jason. A very not dead Jason.

From that revelation onwards, it was a blur of emotions and muffled shouts as he barreled into his old friend, letting trills of happiness from his core.

Jason had been dragged to the mall for one of Dick’s “sibling bonding experiences (no Bruce allowed)” attempts, and had been having an admittedly ok time, between Damian and Tim’s half joking threats to each other and Cass and Dick’s teasing.

They were being careful of him, like usual, so he wasn’t pushed too hard to participate in their little activities.

The pit had been easier to push down recently, but he’d rather them keep the distance from him just in case.

By the time they sat down in the food court, he’d made a plan to help demon brat shut down Pet Smart as a whole, agreed to wear ballet slippers and attempt to dance in them for Cass, snitched to Alfred about Tim’s caffeine intake for the day, and all around tormented Dick.

So today was going pretty ok.

And then he nearly got knocked out of his chair by a scrawny kid with way too much strength.

The feeling of the pit that had been simmering under the surface all day practically exploded outwards at the unknown touch that did not feel like a kid despite appearances, and he could tell his siblings could notice because Dick was instantly on his feet and by his side.

But…the rage never came.

Instead, he felt a bubbling joy wash over him every time the kid hugging him made that weird noise.

Or: Danny, forever stuck in his fourteen year old body, was friends with Jason in the afterlife before he was resurrected. Years later, he finds a very much living Jason in Gotham mall, and in his excitement, tackles him. Losing his concentration on his adult form in the process. Jason doesn’t know who this kid is, but he’s definitely got questions.

basically

“oh they’re not taking away chronological dashboard, well everything’s okay then” they also said in the post they’re making reblogs collapsed (like comments on twitter) so you won’t see the full conversation in a post. they also won’t get rid of tumblr live despite it being an annoying and cancerous data-miner that isn’t legal in much of the world. they won’t even let you opt out of tumblr live for more than seven days. they implemented a terrible photo viewer that mimics tiktok and makes it so you can’t zoom in on images. they took away the ability to view prev tags. they’re making it so you have to sign in with your email to view almost any thing on tumblr. they’ve already made it so you have to sign in to send asks, even on anon. they’re slowly phasing out custom blog themes.

the things that make tumblr at all usable and favored by us– the older web blog features, the anonymity– that is still being taken away. it HAS been being taken away for some time now. i am urging you people to reveiwbomb the tumblr app. force them to acknowledge that users do not like these changes.

listen I say this with patience bc some people may genuinely have not thought about this before but if you firmly say “AI art is terribly unethical and steals from artists” (which is correct) but then turn around and use voice AIs to generate songs/voice lines that sound like your favourite voice actors or singers……………………………………that is also AI art and it is also terribly unethical
