I have infinite awe and respect for people who just do their own thing in fandom. Who ship two random crossover characters (that makes sense to them and them alone) with all their heart. Or obsess over that one side character no one else cares about. It takes a will or iron and a volcanic passion to keep that creativity and love alive, without other people feeding it with equal enthusiasm, ideas and praise. And to not fall into a spiral of fandom negativity because often, they must play alone in their sandbox. They just love and craft and there walks a fandom hero my friends.
All the hats off to you, you amazing, wonderous types.Ā
#Windswept rambles#I'm currently reading a fic about Lucifer Morningstar (DC) x Beethoven#And it's one THE best fics I've ever read#The writer has put their whole heart and soul into it#Just#Words do not do justice to how much admiration I have for them#It deserves so much praise#But is so niche you know it'll never get it#May everyone who ships/loves this individually#Find that one fandom friend who makes it all worth while#Who loves it with an equal passion#One is all you need#Fandom malarkey

LITBC ep 3 & 4: When they're homophobic but you love them
It took me a while to finally watch the third and fourth episodes because it's been diwali season, but having finally watched them I think I can quite confidently say that this part will probably end up as my favourite of the four. I've been having a really hard time trying to figure out how to express my feelings about this episode, because frankly I'm not even sure what those feelings are myself.
I think, surprisingly enough, this section actually hit me harder in the show than it did in the book. The book definitely had more teeth to it and felt far darker than the show, and this may seem counterintuitive, but I think it was because the show continues to be more grounded in the present that the story that it felt more visceral. As a few people have already noted, in the book the reader not only follows only Young's perspective, but there's also Young's bitter hindsight that colours his retelling of the story. Even when he acknowledges how enamoured he used to be with Hyung, it's again accompanied by his resentful commentary. In contrast, with the show we experience Go Young's emotions right along with him: love, confusion, disappointment, desperation, heartbreak, and everything in between. And as @lurkingshan notes here, this makes it all the more brutal when it all comes crashing down. Something else is that, while these episodes did not afford Go Young's mother and Young-soo the same sympathy the previous episodes did for Mi Ae and Nam Gyu, it's true that the wider lens and absence of Young's bitter monologue helped me, as the audienceāhow do I say thisāsee the two characters as their own people rather than just characters in Go Young's story. It emphasizes the greyness of morality in the characters. Young-soo is no doubt a bastard, but he's also a product of the environment he was raised in, and everything about him is a cry for help; help he will not accept. And Go Young's mother is an overbearing religious zealot who, when she realized that she couldn't 'fix' her son, resolved to pretend as though her son wasn't gay for the rest of her life; a social contract I am intimately familiar with. But she's also a single mother who braved a patriarchal society to bring up her son and she loves him in ways she will never express to him. The grey morality of the characters allows the audience to see why Go Young loved them and in turn, feel their loss along with him. I feel incomprehensibly sad when I think of the way both characters ruined their relationships with Go Young because they couldn't (wouldn't?) understand. Because he loved them, even though they were homophobic, but their relationships could never be the same after he knew.
Being constantly surrounded by homophobia is suffocating and exhausting, and it's something I know well. Even when it's not being discussed, sometimes just the knowledge of the way the people around you all hate 'people like you' can be incredibly overwhelming; it weighs you down. Go Young having to work through the complexities of loving people who were homophobic, people who hated an integral part of him felt so real to me because it's real life for me. Him going back to Young-soo over and over again even when he was rapidly becoming aware of Young-soo's beliefs. The quiet way in which both mother and son skirt around his sexuality. His brief happiness when he sees the scrapbook his mother made, and the photo that she returned to him. I'm just repeating the same words over and over now but the emotions felt so visceral; it made me feel seen. Go Young seemed so tired whenever he was around his mother and I don't think I need to say anything about how Young-soo's parting words affected him. It's something that hit way too close to home for me; that dawning realization that even more of your world stands against a core part of you than you'd thought, and that you love it anyways.
#not justifying/forgiving homophobia is something i still struggle with#because that's kind of what you end up doing when several people in your close circle are homophobic and there's nothing you can do about i#so these two episodes were def a struggle for me#just#i dont know#the more i think about it the more it hurts#i'm really liking the changes that have been made in the show#it fits the medium very well and expands upon the story without changing it's core#love in the big city#litbc book club#tw: suicide mention

Jesus Iām back from readin up to book 15 and I burned myself RIGHT OUT.
Iām not gonna TRULY spoil anything but these are my honest thoughts, (beware they are not positive):
Iām here to say book 10, 11 and 12 are Perfectly fine, book 13 starts to get a little shaky and I refuse to accept 14 and 15.
Just absolutely off the rails nonsense and chaos with no emotional investment, cause nothing matters and nobody has any strong feelings about anything.
Just world breaking plot twists and INSANE revelations.
Doctor Who season 13 and BBC Sherlock season 4 are GAME OF THRONES season 1 compared to this.
Nothing feels sacred anymore. You can just fuck around with everything
And NOTHING ABOUT IT AFFECTS THE CHARACTERS EMOTIONALLY! Val got therapy in book 13 and apparently that completed her character arc. So they have reached enlightenment and nothing faces them. Itās BORING! Who wants to read about characters who just solve puzzles and never die or feel bad for longer than half a page???!
Iām possibly still too raw from just finishing this, but I HAD to get it off my chest and off my mind.
Phewā¦
Just letting everyone know I'm not dead again, I'm just reading the new Skulduggery pleasant books.š¤”
#grey talks#sorry auntie grey got a little agro there#I still love the original series Iām#just#gonna need a nap I think#skulduggery pleasant spoilers

Jay & MC out here trying to live their Hallmark romance in the middle of a horror movie š« just let us have our lazy Saturday morning cuddles and dreamy hand-holding while sauntering through drifts of autumn leaves. Stay away, ghosts! U r not invited!!!
Oh yeah absolutely. They deserve to be bonding over nursing a litter of sick puppies back to health, or teaching one another the true meaning of Christmas. Romcom cheesy goodness.
Alas, you're right. This isn't that kind of movie ;)

Headcanon that Bruceās kids have all pulled the āyou're not my father cardā at some point or the other and by the time steph rolled around he didn't even take it seriously
Of course, the first time dick said it, bruce cried himself to sleep. But by the eighteenth time, he was numb to it. āDickie just eat your peas.āĀ
The first time jason did it Bruce pulled him aside and said āi know Im not, but that doesn't mean i don't care for you jason.ā by the twenty fifth time he just held up the adoption papers
The first time Tim said it Bruce laughed. āTim, you literally forced me to adopt you. Yes I am your father.ā Tim didn't bother to say it from then on, maybe muttering āyou're not my dad!ā under his breath at the computer, just for bruce to whisper ominously āyes i am.āĀ
When Steph said it, full of anger and hate and sadness and fear, bruce just followed her and said āyou're right. Im not your father. And i will never be your father. But, if you'll let me, id like to be better.ā After that any time steph said āur not my fatherā bruce would just respond with ānever will beā
Cass said āyour are my fatherā and left no room for argument
Babs said āur not my dad or my father or even close to being any of it, but you are my mom.ā bruce just had to accept that
When damian said it bruce just stood there for a solid fifteen minutes rebooting. Dick and jason fell out of their chairs laughing.Ā
Duke specifically went āur my dad! My dad! Boogie woogie woogie!ā and bruce was just like ābet aight.ā

task force 141 with a controversially young civilian girlfriend.
-> mentions of large age-gaps, referenced sexual content, alcohol use. afab!fem!reader. minor dubcon (everyone's drunk.)
thinking that you're studying in uni. working on the side to try and afford rent and, if you're lucky, some noodles every other night. you don't really get seen compared to your friends, who go out clubbing and spend their spare time on dating apps.
one time, your friend drags you to a bar. not usually your scene, considering its clientele is more for tradies, and military-type men. not like the stuck-up blue collar boys at your uni.
cue you getting drunk off your ass, barely even standing, when you bump into one johhny mactavish.
he holds your elbows, your chest crashing into his. gentle with it, too -- kind and sweet and grounding.
"y'alright, lass?" he asks, a small smirk on his face, eyes darting across your frame greedily. he, in all fairness, looks nearly as drunk as you. he stumbles a little with your weight.
you giggle, tilting your head to look at him. say something stupid like, "you don't look like a student."
his brows raise, his dimples deepen. "aye, very smart, hen."
you preen with the compliment, a cheesy grin stuck to your face. you make no move to stand up and leave. you think your friend just left with a guy anyways.
johnny moves you, muscled arm around your waist as he takes you to a booth.
three other men sit in it, only one looking somewhere in a ten-year age bracket to you. they're all impossibly large, filling out the space with ease. your stomach swoops, but you easily blame the alcohol.
manoeuvring you so you sit in his lap, johnny's hand is a comforting weight on your waist. he huffs a laugh.
"didn't realise we were goin' for jailbait, soap," the youngest one chimes, dark features shining in the pub's dim light. his eyes trail your frame silkily.
you can't stop the roll of your eyes -- your inhibitions have made you senseless. "'m not, 'm completely," you drag out the syllables, "legal."
a hand on your thigh makes you jolt, and when you look over, a blonde man with a black medical mask raises an unimpressed brow. "got a problem, kid?"
you shoot him a weak glare. "not a kid. weirdo."
the arm around your waist tightens, as does the weirdo's hand encompassing your thigh.
"not scared of anythin', are you darl'?" the final man in the booth asks, hands folded together where they rest at the table. he looks at least double your age, and that simple fact along with his drawling words has your core tightening.
"what's there to be scared of?" you ask, stupidly. your head tilts to the side, unknowingly moving to rest on johnny's shoulder. he doesn't comment.
"miss bein' young and drunk," gaz sighs, hand softly gripping the gin sat on the table in front of him.
"you look young," your brows furrow, not understanding. how old could he really be, to act so nostalgic of your current predicament? "how old are you guys?"
it's an embarrassing question -- makes you feel like a child all over again. but your interest is quickly peaking, and your need for answers overpowers your need for decorum.
johnny's the one to answer, his lips brushing your ear as he whispers.
"gaz, the pretty one over there, he's twenty-eight," he murmurs, heat stirring low in your gut as you nod mindlessly, meeting gaz's eyes.
johnny stokes his thumb over the skin of your hip, and you curl into him further -- stranger be damned.
"i'm thirty," he hums, and god, he sounds so fucking sensual you're about to melt into his arms. if you aren't already.
"the guy in the mask?" said man's hand tightens impossibly against your skin, fingers just shy of grazing your aching pussy, "he's thirty-seven. got a lot of experience, aye?"
you shudder.
"what about you?" you end up voicing, shyly meeting the last man's gaze. he takes a slow sip of his whiskey.
he leans back into the cushion, eyeing you carefully.
"forty-three."
your thighs squeeze together, and fuck, if that's not a turn-on. no matter how unsafe you should feel, surrounded by four military-grade, older men, it only manages to have you wet beyond belief.
all you can manage is one question.
"take me home?"

I kinda want danny who's been adopted by the wanyes to be schmoozing it up at a gala (because listen nothing is funnier than the image of Gotham elites being like oh whats this one's gimmick cus all the other's have something only for danny to just be a dude) only for like the giw to raid the place to get danny ( cus he's a ghost? Cus he's a Fenton? Who knows)
Only for danny to pick up a bottle chug it smash it and vault out a window shouting you'll never catch me alive
Now this increases his reputation with most Gothamites and rouges and absolutely worries the fuck out of the batfam why is the government chasing you danny and hiw are you so good at running
#dpxdc#dp x dc#dc x dp#dcxdp#dp x dc prompt#listen i just want danny to jump out a window is that so much to ask?#not for bad reasons#just#imagine it danny screaming and leaping pulling all the jack fenton energy he can

I am back on this btw. For polar opposite reasons. Going through the stages of grief AGAIN trying to process this.
Denial: Wdym I thought this person was ā¾ļøā¾ļø? Haha. Thatās funny. <- Me earlier today laughing it up
Anger: The signs were there. You were just too dumb to see it. I canāt believe I thought ā¾ļøā¾ļø <- Me to myself rn
Still absolutely SHOCKED by recent revelations. Is this what they meant by ācollapse of probabilityā? My worldview is in SHAMBLES and thereās no repair in sight!!!
#Canāt say what it is just know that Iāll be bargaining with god trying to accept this later#For the record Iām not stressed or upset#just#i feel like someone took the jar I live in and flipped it upside down#Lialoxlore
