i find it so fascinating the way seph's ships tend to skew masc. i want to say wtf, but at the same time, it makes perfect sense. like — idk my first thought when opening her up to romantic dynamics is that she'd skew femme, because she does have an immense soft spot for women and femmes just in general (more likely to trust, protective of, etc.) but i realized all at once when writing out their bnha verse that like. i don't think she has any goddamn clue how to ACT with girls. at least, the ones who haven't also cut their teeth on violence/crime/etc.

part of it is gender stuff, she never feels fem enough to be One of the Girlies and gets a little bit dysphoric with it even though it's not the girls' fault for just Existing as themselves.

there's also like, this romanticized (but also. tragedized?) view of girlhood in seph's head because of everything she's lost and seen other people lose. they've been forced into a more feminine role than they were comfortable with and witnessed the world from the underestimated, infantilized eyes of a Wife(tm) and they did not like what they saw. girlhood is something that doesn't belong to her, doesn't belong near her, but something she FIERCELY wants to protect.

that's the thing though — protecting something, for persephone, usually means from afar. this especially applies to girls because she had to MORDER her first love on orders from her fuckin boss!!! how do you move past that!!! the reminders are less severe with neutral or masc people, so it's easier to stay close to them.

anyways omg. it's no accident that seph's two girlfriends are like, two of the most physically or magically powerful people she's shipped with LMAO

7, 34, 38.

[ loaded questions meme ]

7. What is the one thing people assume about you that you wish was true?

"I try to forget about it, but… based on what I was like in the old future - at least what I was capable of - people assume I have control." Sigh. "Meanwhile… I don't have control over anything but my own actions anymore."

"Uni-chan handles Giglio-Nero alone, Sho-chan and I have a lot to work out, the Wreaths aren't required to stay by my side, Tsunayoshi-kun is so busy all the time… my box weapon is about it."

"— I do still pretend I have control though. I don't like how I feel when I acknowledge I don't."

34. Which parts of yourself do you still seek validation for?

"People who challenge and disagree with me remind me that I was extremely strong and powerful once. I'm not anymore, but at least they still remember me like that. It's comforting."

In a way, at least. Deep down, the sheer amount of how much they disagree with him stings, but the validation he gets from it is more important to him.

38. Are you okay with not knowing what happens next?

"Life was boring when I knew what was going to happen and what everyone would do. It's more interesting having no idea what will happen." ♪

He says this while being afraid of the distant future, avoiding thinking about it, avoiding a lot of other things, pretending to be even more things…

headcanon that stan hates wearing glasses (for many reasons) and went without them for years until he really needed them

[Image Description: Comic of a younger Stanley Pines from "Gravity Falls." Alt text is provided and copied below the cut. End ID]

A younger Stan squints at his blurry reflection in the mirror, leaning in really close to see himself clearly. He sighs and grabs a pair of Ford's glasses on the dresser. Putting them on, he stares at his reflection. "Welp," he says, "this is unsettling."

He turns away from the mirror to adjust his tie, saying, "But it can't be helped." His reflection is now a disheveled Ford, mirroring Stan.

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

There are three kinds of LGBT headcanons:

Actual queer coding / metaphors ("Nimona is trans because her creator made her as a way to express his feelings as a trans person")

Vibes ("Link is genderless because I said so")

It's funny ("Phoenix Wright is asexual because he's the Ace Attorney")

Situation where Clark has formed a tentative working relationship with Batman, but somewhere in that time, Batman acquired Robin and, naturally, didn't tell him.

Clark finds out about Robin's existence when a ten year old Dick Grayson in full Robin gear breaks into his apartment at two in the morning and shakes him awake because Batman's missing and Alfred's away and Bruce taught him that, in the case of emergency, Superman was one of the only people he could trust. Bruce just didn't think to tell Clark that he was, by all means, his son's emergency contact.

Clark: -wakes up to a small boy that he's never seen or heard of before in a cape and a mask with lenses that reflect light like a cat's perched on the edge of his bed in a pitch black room-

Dick, calmly: Hey, Batman's -- stop screaming -- Batman's missing. I need help.

More medieval dyes for y'all!

[fckbatmanhiskidsareminenow]

multilingual batkids. they learn each others languages so they can mix and match. for example:

tim in french: have you figured out how we’re gonna tell b we’re not going to that gala yet?

damian in arabic: no i thought that was thomas’ job?

duke french: me? no jason said he’d do something

jason in arabic: hey don’t drag me into this!

dick in romani: i’m gonna kill him i really i am

steph in russian: who are we killing?

dick in english: ah! nobody! wait i didn’t know you spoke romani

tim in greek: you’re an asshole

jason in english: wait my greek is rusty say it again slowly

tim in greek: you’re an asshole

jason: …. you motherfucker

cass signing: nice drawing

damian in chinese: thank you

dick yelling at bruce about something he did

jason in spanish: what language is he speaking right now?

tim also in spanish: uh all of them i think

jason: does bruce even know-

tim: no he doesn’t

[damianwaynerocks]

saw someone say months ago that the best cover story for jason coming back to life in the public eye is to say he was in witness protection. and i agree with that! but id like to add: jason would make a public statement saying that the reason he was in witness protection is “i saw joker kill robin”

[huntershowl]

so i just belatedly realized the insane fucking implications of the power i gave seph in jjk-verse, ie raine finally learns how cursed energy actually works and sits back in her chair contemplating life choices

like no matter WHICH side they’re on. being able to siphon cursed energy from someone else and funnel it elsewhere (or absorb it herself) is pretty bonkers. especially combined with the heavenly pact that gave them So Goddamn Much cursed energy production. a functionally limitless amount of the stuff just pouring and pouring and pouring and pouring. no wonder it almost killed them. imagine what that could do in the context of bringing in curse users for interrogation (or outright killing them)?????

like weakening a special grade so bad they can just be fully cornered and captured??? granted that would potentially fuck her up pretty bad from too much at once but STILL, it's WILD — and omfg. being able to act as a battery for someone they're fighting with by splitting the ridiculous amt of cursed energy she produces between the two of them!!!! amplifying the power of someone who would normally be hopeless against xyz enemy!!! TF!!!!! even without the ability to use reverse cursed technique it is ABSOLUTE INSANITY and i love it because as Fucking Usual, she pays absolutely no attention to anything but her martial skills & isn't even slightly aware of what she can dooooo

what does your heart look like?

a cage with iron locks You are an enigma. You take care to remain that way. You aim to keep people guessing; your motives are uncertain even to yourself. What is it you truly want? You’ll never know if you keep your heart locked away like that. You deserve to be known, truly and fully. Stop being afraid of what you might find if you open your heart up to self-reflection. Stop thinking that no one will love you the moment they understand you. You are more than the facade you put on.

Ah, he's getting called out again... his deeper motives are not something he wants to know. Maybe he's afraid of what's in there... who knows.

nightwing being hurt in the field, and over comms he can’t get out what was wrong, nearly in shock, and jason puts on his best batman™️ voice and says “robin, report.”

and it snaps dick out of it enough to say concussion, possible broken ribs, and a gash in his side.

no one talks about it, and then a year later, damian does the same thing to tim

[violent138]

Starting to think a cooler headcanon for Clark’s upbringing might just be that the entire town of Smallville collectively decided to just go with it and accept that Martha and John's kid has superpowers, but we don't talk about it.

Someone's tractor gets stuck and nothing can get it out? "Be a dear and run down to the Kents, would you? Ask for Clark?"

"Why Clark, we need a machine--"

"Run along now."

Or if he kicks too hard and the football vanishes into the upper stratosphere, no it didn't, we all collectively saw it land over there *vague hand movements*

[bereft-of-frogs]

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation

because WHAT are people talking about sometimes
