A character so exhausted/ill/out of it they're only able to be partially roused- still responsive enough not to be wholly unconscious but answering with only mumbles and the occasional groan to questions; eyelids that only briefly flutter open to reveal a hazy gaze beneath; able to drink and swallow but having to be coaxed through every sip; not entirely a deadweight to manipulate but able to offer only passive assistance to actually moving and unable to actively support themselves; needing to be constantly pestered and prodded while being cared for otherwise they'll slip back into a stupour.

I truly believe any neurodivergent person can be framed as manipulative if their doctor dislikes them. What is masking if not manipulation if you view it uncharitably enough?

Dick: Batman mug with the message,Holy Children,Batman!

Damian: (arrow pointing up) Not the worst dad

Cass: Dad,thanks for teaching me how to be a man even though I'm your daughter

Steph: Best dad ever keep that shit up

[Image ID: A screenshot of an AO3 author’s note that reads “A/N: so my og note was going to be "rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated” cause people was saying on facebook that I died (which is wack y'all lmao don’t do that) but then I did almost die last weekend so uh. I guess those rumors aren’t so greatly exaggerated after all? and now I get to be one of those fic authors that says “sorry for the wait but it’s because I almost died nbd anyways here’s the next chapter!” :)“ /End ID]

I do have a piece of writing advice, actually.

See, the first time I grew parsnips, I fucked it up good. I hadn't seen parsnips sprouting before, right, and in my eagerness I was keeping a close eye on the row. And every time I saw some intruding grass coming up, I twitched it right out, and went back to anticipating the germination of my parsnips.

But it turns out parsnips take a bit longer than anything else I'd ever grown to distinguish themselves visually. It's just the two little split leaves, almost identical to a newly seeded bit of kentucky bluegrass when they first come up, and they take a good bit to establish themselves and spread out flat before the main stem with its first distinctive scallopy leaf gets going.

I didn't get any parsnips, not that year, because I'd weeded them all out as soon as they showed their faces, with my 'ugh no that's grass' twitchy horticulture finger.

The next year, having in retrospect come to suspect what had happened, I left the row alone and didn't weed anything until all the sprouts coming up had all had a bit to set in and show their colors, and I've grown lots of parsnips since. They're kind of a slow crop, not a huge return, but I like them and watching them grow and digging them up, and their papery little seeds in the second year, if you don't harvest one either on purpose or because you misjudged the frost, so it's worth it.

Anyway, whenever I see someone stuck and struggling with their writing who's gotten into that frustration loop of typing a few words, rejecting them, backspacing, and starting again, I find myself thinking, you gotta stop weeding your parsnips, man.

I love how the movie doesn't show Fiyero arriving in a carriage, but simply atop a horse. An Animal horse. An Animal horse with whom he actually seems to be good friends. It adds a possible reason for why he felt enough compassion for the lion cub to rescue it.

Also, notice how Fiyero is not riding the horse when they whisk the cub away to safety. He's on a bicycle, just like Elphaba. In my mind it's partially because he didn't want to risk having his Animal friend be deemed the mastermind behind this act and accused of treason for his assistance.

Ok I just wanna say, yes Minthe did bad things and made bad choices but did she ever murder an entire village, turn people into plants, bully the working class, abuse her power, support slavery, commit crimes and then act like the paragon of innocence afterwards?

No?

But do you know who did?

FOR HER!

And so the myth of Persephone continued exactly the way Homer wrote it.

Side note: did you know most the gods could get visions of the future, not just Hera?

ALT TEXT in case the resolution is blurry or my writing is hard to read.

The first of two pictures shows Demeter holding a cellphone that holds a picture of the ending panel of Lore Olympus. It simply says “the end”.

The second panel shows Demeter looking upset and angry while holding the cellphone and demanding “what the fuck was that?!”

Zeus is standing next to her, leaning on her shoulder, and explains that “that’s what’s going to happen if you give those one million perfect roses sentience”.

Rest in pieces, Lore Olympus.

Hey friend! I hope you're havin' a good day today! Have you gotten to do anything particularly cool lately?

Aww thank you, I hope you are too! It's been pretty quiet in terms of tattooing so I've been pouring my efforts into other projects while we get through the holidays. I think the burnout on my original projects that I've been living in for the last 1-2 years is starting to lift, enough that it's fun to think about it and I'm coming up with ideas for it again... so that's pretty cool :') <3
