Update on sourcing art
monkeyscandance:
Since it happens more and more that I click on my tracked tags to see unsourced fanarts and graphics, it is time to update THIS post.
HELP! I found this awesome picture, but don’t know who did it!
There are 3 steps you can take to not be disrespectful towards the creator of the piece:
1. Save fanart/graphics/gifs with the name of the creator.
This might sound annoying...

Well. This was unexpected.
When I woke up this morning, I didn’t anticipate spending the majority of my afternoon at the local humane society interviewing cats for the position of Writer’s Pampered Pet. Sure, it’s something I’ve thought about frequently—you all know that by now—but my ex was allergic and I was never quite sure of ‘having kids’ with J.

Hi tumblr. It's me, Dan.
We’re going out to look into adopting a cat today, and Alan…I have never seen him so nervous! He’s fretting over what to wear (“Should I wear the Flash shirt? Or the black one with a pocket?”), if there’s spinach in his teeth, if the apartment is too much of a mess…I had no idea he got this cute. Y’all knew that, though, didn’t you? That he...

In a nod to a dramatic shift in public opinion, Barack Obama on Wednesday became the first sitting president to announce his support for same-sex marriage.

And right on the heels of North Carolina’s heart-breaking decision. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
It’s about time.

My boyfriend’s parents were bikers.
My boyfriend’s parents were bikers.
His mom’s like Donna Reed in a fringe leather jacket.
I had a three hour conversation with his dad about classic rock and motorcycles.
I had no idea when he said his parents were ‘quirky’ that he actually meant ‘really fucking awesome’.
They’re here for the week, so...

Uh...Hi. I'm Dan. I guess some of you may already...
I’m stealing my boyfriend away for the weekend. Or until my family leaves. (I’m not sure which will end up happening first.) They’re due to arrive tomorrow, see, and I really need him to help me with cleaning. (I know this means he won’t get to post more fiction for y’all, but it’s worth the wait. Trust me.)
You can have him back when I’m finished...

Fic: I-81 Detour - Genesis (1/2)
“No?” Straight Shot repeated; he drew back his bow, aimed, and fired, taking down the straggler in a group of thieves they’d been tracking for the last eight blocks. He wrinkled his nose, throwing his companion a glance. “That’s all you said?” “Well, yes.” Robin grabbed his friend by the back of his navy tunic and hauled him behind the cover of a...

I just met my new landlord...
I’m working from home today and agreed to be here to let the landlord in to fix the bathroom sink as D’s scheduled to open.
[[MORE]]The sink took approximately five minutes to fix. The man was here for over an hour. Had the conversation been pleasant, maybe about the cold, rainy, Gotham-esque weather we’ve been having…perhaps the fact that I was his tenant’s new...
batmansrobyn asked: So, Mr. Black, I have a Very Important Question for you. (It's not really that important). I'm recently rediscovering my love for jazz, and while I have a decent amount of jazz in my library already, it's mostly just the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack. Do you have any recommendations for good study music?

My dash has gone to Neverland—where the cute shit comes from. BRB.

Bring in the heavy artillery; this is going to...
When I write a rough draft of anything, it’s just that—rough. The actions are bland, the environment is sketchy (as in not-yet-detailed), and the characters are pretty wooden. The dialogue is where I concentrate most of my focus during a rough draft, using it to build a foundation for where I want the piece to go. Once that’s done, I go back over it and flesh out all the other...

After D dropped the bomb about his impending family, he attempted to make it up to me with midwestern comfort food and a vintage comic flick. I’m sad to say I have little resistance; it totally worked.
It was fantastic to sit down with it with a more mature appreciation for its over-the-top cinematography, vibrant comic colours, and exaggerated acting. I really enjoyed it. But more than...
insecuriti-bunny asked: What a surprise! It certainly is a big thing to put on you so suddenly. I hope you get everything sorted out though. :) best wishes.
Anonymous asked: I'm a pretty new follower to your blog, and occasionally you make sadface inducing comments about your mother. Are there any mom horror stories, or do the two of you just not get along?

Not even if you make dinner and act sweeter than usual. Not even if you have that ‘I’m gonna get lucky’ look.
Seriously. You don’t just drop a bomb like that.
No, I don’t know how you would have told me that wouldn’t’ve made me freak out.
I’m having such an odd day…

“See, he was sure your father would have thrown a fit if he called in the JLA, so he pulled some favours with the Titans because we all owe him our left nuts pretty much without exception.” The clone paused, flashing Alfred an apologetic smile. “Sorry.” “Never fear,” the butler replied with a wry look. “My social graces have long been tarnished by Master...
