what if someone started a kitchen fire and then got yelled at by everyone else over twitter?

Ducktales 2017 is such a good show, more people should watch it. Owl House people looking for more? Gravity Falls fans? Amphibia? Looking for more mystery, found family and fun?
This is a great show for you. Especially for arospec folk like myself, itâs such a relief to find a show with so little romantic plot lines but still lots of platonic and familial love. It also changed my perspective on shows like it forever. Itâs my favourite show of all time.
Itâs the most realistic depiction of siblings I have ever laid my eyes on. Itâs funny for all ages without defaulting to gross humour people think kids find funny. Itâs so damn family driven. It has plenty of successful adult role models with no kids and/or no partners. My favourite character is only good as a coincidence. It is the only show ever where I have enjoyed the filler. It de-fridges the mum. The âmainâ romantic subplot appears about three times, is more of a con artist-roguish hero dynamic than anything else, never goes anywhere and doesnât feel wasted for it. Itâs got magic. Itâs got a Batman parody. Itâs got a stacked cast for no reason. Itâs got autism and adhd coded characters that showcase the spectrum. Itâs got a British housekeeper who is also a spy. And a ghost butler. They hate each other. Lin Manuel Miranda is in it. Itâs got a three part mega finale because it got cancelled like my other treasure trove tv shows (TOH). Every single character in this extensive family is developed and focused on at some point. They function how the Batfamily is in fanon. They scare the hell out of the rest of the world. Theyâre family.
I watch the final episode anytime I need creative motivation. I love this show so much.
The biggest confidence boost is knowing that even my shittiest fanfic will be 10,000% better than any AI generated bullshit
Dick: You use to be so cute and tiny..
Jason: And you use to be cool. We both changed.
Dick: Wha-?! I'm still cool!!
Jason: Okay, 'officer Grayson'. Cops aren't cool.
Dick: THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO
Jason: STILL FRESH IN MY MIND, PIG!
Dick: LET IT GO!
Jason: NO. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SAID FUCK THE POLICE! THOSE WERE WORDS I LIVED BY!
Dick: OH MY GOD. YOURE THE ONLY ONE THAT STILL REMEMBERS THAT!
Tim, walking into the living room: I remember it.
Duke, from another room: I heard about it! You've lost 1000 aura man!
Cassandra, poking her head in: I've also heard about it.
Dick: EVERYONE SHUT UP.
Jason: Just like a cop to order people around like that, shameless.
Dick, groans: Fuuuuck-!
Dick: All of you are going to make me age like milk!
Damian, popping up behind him: Is it wrong to say it's too late for that?
Dick, practically shaking: Damian..I swear to God.
every so often, i think, and it might be so selfish of me, but i crave to be someone's first choice. i want to be the person that someone sees fun things to do and their first thought is to ask me to go with them. i want someone to be willing to inconvenience themselves a little bit sometimes for me as i would do for them. i want to be looked at in a list of people and to have someone pick me out of all of them. i want to be held at the same level as a romantic partner in terms of effort and closeness. i want someone to want me as much as i want them, even though it's not in a romantic sense. i want to be important to someone.
Whenever I talk about whatever media Iâm into at the moment imagine I am presenting the characters to you like this
Content warning for death, blood and description of injuries
Another slice to my throat. More stains running down my armour, rivers feeding the nutrients I no longer need into the ground. You stand frozen, gaze blank. You always do when we die. Blue already lies, eyes vacant and staring, neck angled horribly wrong. I canât see Yellowâs face. Their back took the worst of their injuries, as they tripped and did not get back up.
My knees crumble, throat gasping out one last time. I didnât see Green go down, I heard them like I can hear myself. Their cry cut off, because their brain was targeted. Not their throat. My brain is still stuck trying to make broken vocal cords work.
I blink for what should be the last time.
It wonât be.
âEveryone understand?â Purple looks around at us, all jostling in the belly of the plane, trying to break the tension before our last mission. âWe only get one shot at this. Weâre counting on you.â They look directly at you as they say that, before turning to where the doors will open.
I donât know why we donât get one shot. I donât know why the gods keep rewinding the clock. Youâre the only one that initiates change, so you have to know. I think youâre the only other one who does. The fifth try, you took out a guard I hadnât spotted. They killed me last time. The seventeenth, you found another way in, after the previous one kept leading to traps and dead ends.
I donât know why Iâm granted so many second chances, and I know Iâm alone in remembering what came before. I tried to mention it to Green once. It distracted them, got them killed earlier. I stopped talking after that try. I didnât want to mess anything else up.
Weâre getting close, we have to be. I donât know what try weâre on, but you get better, stronger every time. Sometimes thereâs a stupid mistake from one of us, or a weirdly placed guard, but generally, weâre improving.
Out the airplane, land on the roof, take the fire escape to the fourth floor even though it goes down to the third because thereâs too many guards on the third, sneak through the vents, avoid the alarms, climb into the lift shaft and into one of the lifts, ride it down to the basement.
Yes, I can feel it. The death by gravity as I was pushed down the empty shaft. Bones crunching, not able to move my legs. Internal bleeding got me that time. A shot through the window of a corridor, so quick I didnât have time to be surprised. The phantom pains following me into the next try, aches where my body expects to still find snaps.
This try, we get all the way down the final hall to the vault before the tripwire catches you out. We can still make it, weâve made it past this point before. Footsteps rumble like thunder above as we dash towards the vault door, weapons and equipment flickering through your hands as you search for something we can use. The vault door creeks as it begins to swing slowly, a ticking clock for our team. Blue makes it in, sliding their backpack off immediately to search for the lock picks they will now need. Yellow whoops as they make it in, keeping an eye on Blue while taunting the guards and hurrying us up. The vault door gets closer to shut. Green makes it in, preparing to take up cover fire through a narrowing field of vision. Youâre right behind, squeezing through the shrinking gap. The vault clicks as it closes, Purple slamming into it unable to stop their momentum, and me skidding to a halt beside them.
Thereâs a small glass window through the vault door, and you walk right up to it, staring at us while you try to slam anything into the door. Looking for a trigger to open the metal lock. Running to get Blue or the others to help, but they shake their heads, already moving on. You return to the window, and I smile back. Itâs ok. You might be able to make it this time. This could be the one. You could do it.
The door we came through shatters open as guards pour in. We ready our weapons for a fight, turning away from you, who has gone so still. You never stop moving, not unless one of us is dead, but you canât do that now. You can make it, you can complete our mission and save the world. We signed onto that, weeks of training and trusting each other before we committed to our shot. Helping people, or die trying.
The stench of blood taints the air as Purple and I engage, holding back the guards to give you as much time as we can. Every second gives you more of a chance to make it. Please, you have to make it. You can do this. Dodging a knife and twisting away from the action, I see you, still frozen on the other side of the glass. A jolt in my back, my breath catching and your blank express do the rest.
I blink.
âEveryone understand?â Purple looks around at us, jostling each other. I smile at you, because you are already moving, already checking weapons and ammunition and equipment again. You could have made it that time.
Itâs happened quite a bit. Your chance for freedom, for success, very clearly in reach. But then Yellow will get taken out as a warning that weâve been spotted. Green succumbs to previous injuries. Blue canât break the locks in time. Purple gets caught in a triggered trap. I stay behind to buy more time. It resets every time. And although it hurts, and the hollow pain in my stomach has me checking the wound really did disappear like they do everytime, I will smile at you. Because you are going to get us through this. Youâre going to make sure one of these times, everybody lives. Every death, every injury, is nothing compared to losing any of us.
It may be selfish, and painful, and at times threatens hellish hopelessness, but whenever it gets too much, whenever the danger gets too close, I know you will save us. You will stay with us, and I know you will keep doing so until one try, we all make it out ok. And I would rather that ending than any other.
Player keeps reloading trying to save every ally in a mission, one of their allies remembers every attempt.
