| MASTERLIST |
"Colby is gonna keep his opinions to himself, right?" Chris looks back at Dani as they drive to meet up with Sam and Colby for their Hell Week video.
"Who the hell knows? He still hasn't apologized to me or Matt. Mainly me. HIS SISTER!" Dani shouts still pissed with Colby.
"So it's gonna be awkward the whole time?" Nick speaks up.
"No, because we can act like adults." Matt adds.
"Maybe me and you. Not so sure about Colby." Dani looks out the window.
"If we act like everything is fine then he should too." Matt glances at her through the mirror.
~
"Today we're with the Sturniolo Triplets." Colby introduces the boys.
"And me too." Dani waves at the camera.
"Guys, you have no idea how excited I am to be back." Matt lets the two know.
"He's been talking nonstop since y'all talked about filming together again." Dani adds and Matt nods his head a bit, "Even in his sleep." She laughs embarrassing him.
"In her bed or yours?" Sam asks Matt.
Matt glances over at Colby for just a second, "Both beds." He nods his head making Chris smile at him and Sam shows Colby making a face.
"Hasn't even been 5 minutes, guys." Dani sighs knowing how some viewers are gonna hate the video now.
"Welcome inside." Sam opens the door.
"I can't believe y'all have like keys to this building." Matt says as he goes inside.
"Hell yeah, it's ours." Colby laughs.
"I'm not spending the night with you two." Dani follows in behind Nick.
"It's weird cause it just looks like a school." Nick laughs looking around.
"It is a school." Colby laughs at him as they go into a classroom.
"These yellow chairs are kinda sick." Nick goes over to them.
"That's like peach." Dani walks over to see the color better.
"Those are not yellow." Matt tells Nick.
"Way more yellow." Nick disagrees with them.
"Those are pink." Chris speaks up.
"That's peach." Colby agrees with his sister.
Everyone starts to agree they're more peach-ish and orange-ish but Nick still didn't agree with the color, "Yellow."
"That is not yellow." Sam tells him.
"Comment below what color you think the chair is." Matt tells the viewers before placing his hand on Dani's lower back as she passes him to walk somewhere else in the classroom.
"I took a color blind test recently." Nick brings it up, "The three always yell at me cause I say wrong shit like that. But I still think it's yellow." He points at the chairs.
"Wrong." Dani walks over to them.
"How was the result of your test?" Chris asks with a smile.
"That's orange." Matt looks over at it so Dani looks at him mouthing peach so he pinches her side making her leave his side.
"It was not good." Nick says about his color blind test he took.
As they look around the room, Matt sees a piece of paper on a desk, "Some girl has her Snapchat on this, bro." He picks it up and the guys hey at it. "What are we doing with that?" He laughs before reading some of it out loud, "I talked to a few ghosts."
"Get out of here. Get away." Nick says.
"In the auditorium." Matt adds.
"Matt, why do you pick up pages and read them?" Chris asks him.
"Says, they said stuff like they were trapped in the school." Matt continues to read it.
"We got trapped." Colby says.
"Wait, yeah." Sam agrees from what they got the previous day.
"I think you guys always know something I don't." Nick looks at the two.
"That's not true." Colby tells him.
"I don't know, maybe." Sam adds.
"Wait, this is crazy. Should we add her on Snapchat in case?" Matt asks the guys.
Dani gives him a look, "Excuse me now, buddy?" She crosses her arms making everyone laugh even Colby.
"You're about to be single." Chris pats Matt on the shoulder.
"Thought you don't get jelly?" Matt walks over to her side.
"I wasn't jealous. I was wondering about your stupidity to do such a thing." She gives him a big smile.
"Wait, I wanna see where you guys have been sleeping." Nick asks Colby and Sam so they go to where they have been sleeping.
"Guys, is it the third collab we join you on the sleepover or no?" Chris ask as they walk the halls.
"Yeah!" The two smile, "You guys are sleeping here too." Colby adds.
"We got our little cots here." Sam shows the group, "We sleep naked right next to each other." He jokes.
"Bougie experience." Nick tells them.
"We were hiding behind the table because we were scared." Colby tells the group to be funny.
"That's not gonna do much against ghosts." Dani laughs at him.
Next up Sam and Colby take the group to the safe room where all the security screen was. Chris brings up that he feels like the monkey from Toy Story 3 watching all the cameras. Soon the two talk about the principle office and catching a heat figure on camera.
"That's where Dani is going alone tonight." Colby jokes.
"Tell hell I'm not." She looks at him.
"Matt will go with you." Nick motions at him so Matt makes a face.
"He's a wimp too." Dani looks at Matt.
"This is the fallout shelter." Colby tells them where they were heading, "Also known as the gym and where the boiler room is. And we haven't even seen this yet."
"Also one of the most notable shadow figures ever seen." Sam adds to it, "Was right here."
"That is terrifying." Chris point over at a room.
"That's the boiler room." Colby tells them.
"That is like... Just looking at it, like that is not inviting room at all whatsoever." Chris keeps pointing over at it.
"Any of you guys wanna go and take the camera and look around?" Colby asks any of the four.
"Matt you wanna go?" Chris motions over to him.
"I feel like there can't be anything bad." Matt reaches out for the camera taking it from Colby, "Dani, babe, let's go."
"Why drag me into this?" Dani follows behind as well as Nick.
"I really don't want to turn this corner." Nick turns around to look at Matt.
"I didn't think there was more." Matt turns the corner and Dani was still right behind him.
"Oh, nope." Dani turns around refusing to go any farther.
"Oh my God, it's big and it goes-,"
Matt gets a little loud scaring Nick, "MATT, don't say of my god!"
"It goes all the way over there. There's two more rooms. Alright, this is the farthest I'm okay with going." Matt tells everyone before turning back around.

Ahhhhh thank you!!! They're very quick sketches but I poured by heart into them...I'm enjoying this AU so much (;∀;) it's so nice to hear that you like them wahhhhh
(might have some time to do more soon!! I really wanna draw that little confrontation where Cale dares to ask for a knife...)
And yeah! I think that if LSH and CJS caught on, Cale would tell them. 'Cause there's a different relationship of "ownership" than in canon. In canon, Cale made his deal with the GoD with his back to the wall, knowing there was nowhere else to go. When he saw that KRS!Cale was enjoying his life over in his old world, he was probably able to put to bed any lingering guilt he may have felt for kicking him out of his old body and fully embrace his new life. (We see Cale do the same thing, finally facing the responsibility of dealing with Cale's family's past, as he now fully acknowledges Cale's bio family as his own.)
But here, it's different. Neither one of them intended for the switch to happen, and Cale probably has a much deeper sense that he's merely "borrowing" KRS's body. After all, he may have spent a long time in KRS's body, but he's used to KRS having the final say, being able to veto his any action and kick him out at a moment's notice. It feels weird to fall asleep as KRS and then wake up still as KRS the next day, or to do something reckless without KRS there to act as a brake pedal.
Not sure how much actual ownership they would feel over their own bodies, since—let's face it—KRS would never have that strong of an attachment to himself, and Cale's sense of self is probably completely fucked by now, but they would each be possessed by a stronger feeling of "I have to Give This Back" than they are in canon.
And ohhh on KRS!Cale's side, once people figure out who "Brother" is, they'll see KRS!Cale calling himself trash and go "Oh nooo, that bastard White Star treated him so poorly that he gave the poor boy a complex D:"
And. Like. They're not wrong. But it's. Ah. A bit more complicated than they expected.
And in the meantime, on Cale!KRS's side, his companions are already dealing with KRS acting like a different person, but there's also the paranoia about silence now, too. And they're like, "Oh nooo, poor thing can't leave survival mode even after beating the Tower :("
And! Like! They aren't wrong! But! Alas! Wrong guy!
And ohh LSH being the one to suggest that KRS is now in Cale's body? I can image Cale having up until this point denying it, trying not to think of that as the obvious solution. But now, he's confronted with it so plainly. Might have a mini-panic attack at the thought of his friend having to confront Brother alone. Not having met Brother before, not being used to the kind of pressure Brother can exert just by standing there.
Hmmm, I wonder...if Brother told Cale that he was sick, that the false sights and sounds and distant-ness that haunt him when he's alone was part of the reason Brother had to keep Cale in the tower...would he tell LSH and CJS? I can't quite decide. He might not do it willingly, but perhaps those reality-bending effects of the isolation follow him. Of course, it's better than when he was truly alone, but it takes him by surprise every now and again.
I think that, no matter how many times they catch him talking to or looking at something that's not there, he wouldn't budge, but the moment that seeing a white flower nearly sends him spiraling during an actual monster suppression fight, he'd tell them. Try and say that they need to leave him behind. He'll drag them down. He's sick.
And of course, they're like, my guy. We're not gonna pretend that this is good news, persay, but we're not gonna like. Cut you off or anything. We're glad you told us? And it might be a bit tricky to find in the apocalypse but, like. Have you tried anti-psychotics?
I also really like the idea of giving him the Wander ability...but at the same time I can't help but feel that there's some spice missing from it? Hmm.... He used sleep (the small death) to escape from a confined space and meet with a friend, possessing that friend's body, taking on his name and appearance...there's something there but I can't quite put my finger on it! Hmmmmmm....
Also, the idea of his ability to get back in touch with KRS being locked behind the Towers, dragging him back despite him having ZERO interest in whatever "actual" intended rewards are sitting at the top? Very good. Continuing the trend of "of doing this purely for my own gain" vs "omg he's so selfless, giving all these rewards away to others..."
Ohh y'know what would be evil? If Cale!KRS had to do, like, a series of fetch quests where he had to gather parts/ingredients from different Towers in order to make something that works and can actually reconnect him with KRS!Cale. Now you have to deal with even more of the Towers' tedious bullshit, AND you have to keep the parts you've found so far safe!
On KRS!Cale's side, the McGuffin he needs might be much simpler, but it would be something like a treasure that the evil vizier Adin keeps on his person at all times. Gotta take him down first!
Oh! But on KRS!Cale's side, we need to figure out how KRS!Cale can make himself bleed (either literally or metaphorically, but let's face it, probably literally) for the sake of others! It's vital enrichment for our beloved young master-nim.
Maybe using his healing power is even more exhausting than everything else he does? It's also an incredibly powerful healing ability, able to literally reverse aging, and can be used on people other than the wielder.
I think that KRS!Cale would try his best to hide this skill, knowing it would paint a target on his back, but he would also use it in a heartbeat the minute Choi Han gets badly hurt protecting him.
I also do really like the idea of KRS!Cale having one face-to-face conversation/confrontation with White Star/Brother before fleeing the tower! I will always support KRS/Cale getting one over the White Star.
Also you are so so right, the kiddos are definitely the ones who helped KRS!Cale braid his hair.
I think that tiger!Alberu was either royalty of another kingdom that fell to the White Star's schemes, or he was, from the start, the captain of the royal guard, just disguised as a regular ol' human. Some of the more loyal knights who spent a long time with the captain can still tell that it's Alberu in there, not just a mindless beast, and still follow him accordingly, even though the seals prevent him from talking.
Okayyy it is now time for me to succumb to sleep see ya later!!
Rapunzel AU!
Cale has been inside of the tower for his entire life. His hair is long, much longer than his brother's. His brother doesn't have a name. Cale knows they're brothers though- because they both have red hair, even if Brother has short hair and Cale does not.
Ever since Cale was 12, he'd been dreaming of a different world. He went to sleep and woke up as someone named Kim Roksu. This Kim Roksu was not in a similar situation as he was- Kim Roksu wandered the streets and ate food from the floor and hid in the small cabinet in his uncle's house. Kim Roksu was weak and strong.
Kim Roksu is a friend to Cale. When Cale wants to see the outside, he sleeps, and he dreams.
Kim Roksu figured out how to communicate with Cale after several years of simple body swapping.
Somehow, they are similar! They both agree that being trash is the best. Kim Roksu because it's easier being a bad person than a good person, and Cale because Brother won't let him be trashy and he wishes he could throw a fit without Brother punishing him.
"Your brother keeps you in a tower?" Roksu asks when he learns.
"Yeah. Is that weird?"
"Well, I don't know anyone who stays in a tower." Cale kicks a rock on the sidewalk with his barefoot, sending it skidding across the dirt road. "Ow, my toe." Roksu complains blandly.
Sharing a body, they also share the same sensations.
"You barely felt that and you know it."
"Shut up."
"You shut up." Cale retorts. He wants to say more, but he swallows those words and tucks them into his chest.
'The bruise over your eye hurts more but you don't complain about that.'
He bites his lip and looks down.
"Do you think," he asks quietly, "if I asked Brother to let me out, he would?"
Roksu, disembodied and floating over his body, frowns. "You haven't asked before?"
Cale smiles bitterly in Roksu's body. "... I did, once." After, Brother said he was going to be leaving for two weeks, and told Cale to ration his food well. Cale knew better than to think it was a coincidence. He didn't have Roksu yet. It was very lonely for a long time.
Roksu doesn't say anything.
"If," his voice trembles, "If I got out. If I left..."
"Cale." Roksu stops him. Cale winces, expecting to be reprimanded.
"You are trash. Trash does whatever they want, no matter what anyone says. If you want to leave, then leave." Roksu's translucent body floats over to stand in front of Cale. Sternly, he says, "Don't worry about useless things. Worry about making a plan and executing it."
Then, abruptly, Roksu turns and ignores him. Cale laughs and folds in half, a childish grin splitting his malnourished cheeks. How can someone be so blunt but so shy? Kim Roksu frowns, but it looks like a pout. Cale rubs away a tear and looks up at the back of his friend. No, the person who sometimes feels more like a brother to him than his real brother.
"And will you help me?"
Roksu rolls his eyes. "Don't ask something so obvious."
Cale smiles and looks down. "Right. Obvious, isn't it?"
Something like receiving help wasn't obvious to either of them. Yet, when it came to the two of them together, it was the most obvious thing in the world. It wasn't obvious with Brother, who he shared blood with. But Kim Roksu, who was abused and beaten down at every turn, chose to welcome a wandering soul into his body and share everything with him.
'You're the one who shouldn't want to be here,' Kim Roksu said when they first started talking and Cale asked why he didn't try to force Cale out. 'When you're in control, I can relax. Why would I want you to leave? That's so difficult.'
They learned that Kim Roksu really could force Cale out when his uncle kicked Cale, sending Kim Roksu's body sprawling onto the floor, then stomped on his arm so hard they heard a clear snap. For Cale it only hurt for a short moment. Roksu threw him out so fast you could imagine that he had practiced beforehand.
Every day and night, Cale slept to try and enter Roksu's body, check on him, share the pain, but Roksu kicked him out every time. It wasn't until four weeks later that Roksu let Cale back in.
Even that much pain was a lot for being four weeks after the incident, but while Cale was struggling to keep his cool, Roksu floated around him and spoke as if nothing was wrong. When Cale started sweating a few hours later Roksu kicked him out again.
'Don't be stubborn,' he said when Cale returned the next night. 'Just say that it hurts. If you still want to stay after you admit that it hurts then I won't kick you out.'
It was a very Kim Roksu thing to do.
"Brother," Cale asks one day at 15, impatiently brushing his hair. He gets scolded lightly, and Brother takes the brush from him. "I read in a book about something called a phone. Do you have one?"
Brother gives him a blank look. Then, as if it had been a lie, his expression changes into something kind and gentle. "Fone? Can you show me the book?"
Cale and Brother roughly root around in every book for anything like the so-called 'Fone,' coming up short.
"Maybe it was a dream," Cale excuses it like that, rubbing his neck. Brother looks at him, worried.
"It must have been. Get some rest, Cale." A kiss to the top of Cale's head, Brother hugs him and promises to bring him more paint. "I'll be gone for a few days this time. Do you want something?"
"Ah," Cale smiles, pressing his face into his Brothers neck to hide his face. "Could you bring me -------?" Brother freezes.
"... you-"
"I learned it from the books! This time I really did, Brother. Please?"
Slowly, Brother releases the tension in his body. "... If that's what you want. But you have to close the window if you're going to mess around with alcohol."
"Yes!" Cale jumps with joy. Then he suddenly runs to a bookshelf, changing the topic by talking about a book Brother brought to him last time. "-and I'd like to know if the sequel is out yet."
"I'll do that." Brother smiles. "You've been asking for more things recently, Cale." Brother settles a hand on his head, stroking his hair.
"It's because of my reliable older brother!" He grabs onto that hand, keeping it there, resembling a naive little brother who only has his role model in his eyes.
He sends his brother down the tower using his hair, and watches that spot of red disappear in the distance.
His face drops.
"... Bastard."
Cale turns on his foot. It's time to see Roksu.

on the robe saga, fors told viaplay "it was our captain's idea actually" so he was team sasha btw. which could mean nothing
(they also said "smells fresh, so you've not sauna'd in this one?" and he laughed and said he didn't he saved this one for that day)
its so personally funny to me that literally everyone is team sasha (ie. maffhew, roddy) except sasha himself its "today? barky" "barky hes the best" "matthew tkachuk and you guys know why..." "id wanna be barky in tappara!" "its gotta be barky" "probably go cap!" "id say barky!" all over again like sasha youre bias is showing here please 😭😭😭
oh! now that you bring up forsy saying he saved the robes for gameday! (can we also talk about how cute his smile is as he says it because he looks so proud of himself that he listened to his captain when he told him to save the virginity of his bathrobes for the game)


it does makes sense why forsy was missing from the pic lundy posted on his stories (not that particularly means much considering ekky aj driedges spence adam jesper swaggy gadjo and kuli are missing) but in the sense that all the boys in the pic have their robes on or have them bundled in their laps sans lundy who takes tourguide duties very seriously! but even then forsy couldn't help but join in because he has them on as an extra layer during lunchtime so the cold mustve gotten to him somehow but to know even then he didn't go into the sauna with it... mmm... your restraint is admirable...
so really knowing all this the timeline gets so funny because this idea has been bouncing around probably since bzito gave them the robes in helsinki (whether that was when they landed oct 29 or the day after oct 30 when lundy played tourguide for them) and maffhew mustve quipped "man it would be so funny if we walked in with em huh?" to sasha and promptly forgot about it because he yaps unconsciously and anything out of his mouth comes out in a fugue state and also in a very "i say shit and i dont really expect to be taken seriously" kind of way, sasha made a personal note of it in the maffhew index he keeps in his head, told the team in a very sasha esque way aka "don't dirty robes too much we're gonna wear them for the game :]" and no one took him particularly seriously because its sasha he always jokes like this haha hes not really gonna- (reminds them day of probably via text) and go oh well i guess its a prank but i'll still wear them because it's sasha (shrugs) i don't mind being the butt of the joke if it's for sasha to which they're delightfully surprised when everyone shows up in robes and it slowly starts to dawn on them none of it was a joke at all
sans forsy who takes everything his captain says very seriously and diligently follows his every word and saved the sanctity of the robes for gameday merely because sasha told him to... which could mean nothing... of course...
dear god help us all...
#ask#THANK YOU FOR TRANSLATING I ONLY GOT THE CAPTAIN PART. MUAH MUAH KISSES FOR YOU MUAHHHH#literally the funniest saga#what do you mean forsy was the only good boy on the team#saved his robes... for dayof... because sasha... yeah thats not gonna drive me fucking nuts#virginal bathrobes and all that#sauna robes but lets make it more pyschosexual actually#im sorry im never getting over forsy admitting he saved the robes...#on another episode of forsy likes when his resolve and determination gets tested because hes a freak#we matthewsasha around these parts but we also think every cat is fucking and really i think sashaforsy is beautiful#because its two notoriously humble workhorses in which while theyre both leaders in their own ways one will always defer enthusiastically#not unlike say if in an omegaverse au in a packed w multiple alphas who all bow their head to their pack leader-#well anyways#congrats man i hope this weird edging training session worked out for ya bud i hope sasha treated you nice for showing restraint 👍#sauna robes saga part 637 it never ends#no back to forsy sorry forsy bitting his lip a little while he says he saved the robes.. oh buddy...#when i say the core are swingers in an gives you hell all american rejects way this is what i mean#swapping partners like we're square dancing#sasha has fun with forsy while maffhew looks at ekky like he wants to eat him alive during the robe walkin#and then they all go out on a double date at hook so you know...#sorry i have to make it all about them because its soooo#also the “smells fresh” comment implies that some other kitties did not bother to laundry so good for them to have sauna funk on em

coworker was going on and on about the importance of regulating your nervous system today and i'm thinking 1) you don't know what that means and 2) if i were a teenager and someone told me to regulate my nervous system i would start throwing things. frankly it's hard not to throw things when hearing that as an adult.
#and i'm being the bad guy saying no actually that's not something we can recommend without issue because that will be 'controversial'#there's also something so weird and bass ackwards about assuming that all children are in crisis right now#it's like saying they're all experiencing trauma. when that is not at all how trauma works#and i piped up and said yeah probably 50% of kids are doing fine right now re: politics and would be annoyed to be treated otherwise#like 'oh you must be so broken over this.' no. not really.#and that doesn't mean we have to bend over backwards to cater to those kids but you do have to keep them in mind#if i showed up crying at work the day after the 2016 election there would have been student and parent complaints#in 2021 my school attempted to adopt a policy requiring pre-approval to teach anything 'controversial'#with 'controversial' defined as anything two people could reasonably disagree on#so walking into a class of 30 kids and saying 'since we're all traumatized let's do some deep breathing to heal our nervous systems' is#not gonna fly. more teachers will come under scrutiny and will get in trouble. that's not something we should be telling them to do#oof sorry. multiple tangents there.#point being. even if learning to 'regulate your nervous system' was totally achievable it still wouldn't be universally accepted#and god forbid anyone have any kind of physical or psychological or emotional difference that affects their 'regulation' 🙃#it just feels like such a trap to say you can fix yourself by self-regulating. because if you fail then what?#oh god i just remembered the convo turning to 'evidence-based practices' and how she said that's bullshit and white supremacy#because you should have practice-based evidence instead...#try something and if it works then it works and it's valid is how she described that. ugh#listen I won't die on the evidence-based practices hill but so many people in my work orbit treat it like a dirty phrase#like it's just some annoying procedural hoop to jump through for no reason#you know you can hurt people by just doing random stuff to them right?!#fuck.#i am so tired. I don't want to talk about my feelings at work. I don't want to 'hold space' for 'difficult emotions'#and i'm getting tired of listening to coworkers dump their shit on me too#but can i say 'hey you are dysregulated and that is making me dysregulated'? nope. definitely not.#because the default assumption is everyone talks through all their feelings all the time. so if you're not then you're doing it wrong.#talking through my feelings is what i have a blog and a notes app and inanimate objects for#and i'm doing pretty well with all that. i just don't want to do it at work#I think i can be my 'authentic self' without blurting out whatever is in my brain at that particular moment regardless of appropriateness#okay. done ranting. sorry. if you read this far goddamn wow congrats. i love you <3 have a good day okay? <3

I have seen you talking about Dick & Dami's relationship and Dick & Tim as well,but what are your takes on Dick and Jason actually?
Like how you wish their relationship should be portrayed today and where are them missing when it comes to making those two acting like siblings?
Do you think in the past their dynamic was better?
How Dick views Jason and how Jason views Dick?
This is difficult to answer because there are like 8 different stages to Dick and Jason's relationship with various dynamics. They also view each other a bit differently depending on which stage we're talking about.
The way I would like their relationship to be portrayed today isn’t necessarily possible thanks to Jason’s integration into the family and acceptance of the no killing moral code. For me, their ideal dynamic is portrayed in Outsiders #44-46. And I know people are gonna find that regressive as hell but, tbh, that dynamic is far more interesting than the kinda awkward thing they have going on now.
Although, I don't mind that they acknowledge their brotherhood in a serious manner now. Like before they'd kinda be like, "Eh... I mean... we were adopted from the same guy but... brothers? Eh..." And now they're more firmly in the, "We're brothers," camp. So that development is interesting.
Character progression wise, it wouldn't feel right for for them to be super close in the way that, say, Dick and Tim are (unless we saw a lot of trust and relationship building between them), but at the same time, there is part of me that kind of wants them to have that older sibling bond (except Jason is closer in age to Tim than he is to Dick sooo actually let's just leave older sibling things to Dick and Cass... not that Cass is much older than Jason though so LOL this is why Dick has to lone the oldest sibling thing by himself... which is funny because Dick is technically no longer the oldest sibling, he's a baby brother now... except Dick and Melinda's relationship really hasn't progressed much sooo you could say they share blood but don't consider each other family yet, in which case, Dick is still the oldest... I mean, regardless, Dick is the oldest sibling of the Waynes... god why did they have to make all of this so difficult 😫).
#jason's like blerghhh dad always loved you best. but also hey we should work together bc you're a killer like me#and then jason's also like hey dick you were the most amazing thing i've ever seen and idk you're cool but i won't say that to you#and then he's also like hey dick i've got girl advice for you and i also need your opinion on my hair. oh now bane is trying to kill us#and then he's also like oh you got amnesia? i don't give a fuck about you and maybe i'll kill you#and he's also like oh you trust me? okay well... we're brothers and i'm gonna save you#and then dick's like oh hey kid call me if you need me. oh you died? i am literally devastated i'm so sorry#and he's also like wow you're very good at what you do but i don't trust you... okay but i trust the intel you're giving me sooo....#and then he's like why the fuck are you dressing like me and killing people?? quit doing stupid shit!!#and then he's like jason what the fuck are you doing--let me help you!!#and then he's like kinda indifferent to jason but jason is still Ugh this family is stupid why am i here#and then dick's like ofc i'm gonna come help you if you need me but also this is awkward af and things are weird between us so bye#except not bye because i'm staying here to help you and your team#and then dick's like i'm being controlled by joker so i'm gonna kill yoooou#and then he's like eh i trust you and i'm gonna help you bc we're brothers but you literally wrecked bruce's car you numbskull#and then he's like you're doing dumb shit and i have to take you down but oh thanks for not letting the train kill me#and then they're both like meh we're doing shit w the batfam even though neither of us should be here rn#and yeah that's how it goes. that's. literally it. writers cannot keep their relationship consistent in the long term#Dick Grayson#Jason Todd#relationship analysis#anon

this is such a tiny stupid petty dumb sticking point but why do people act like hot-water baths are ludicrously unrealistic in a DnD setting no matter what the setting or context actually is
one time in melliwyk's campaign we were staying in a luxury inn in a dwarven stronghold partially populated by warforged and built inside a volcano and each room had its own private bath with running water on tap and when I/ melliwyk was like 'hot water? 👀' the DM gave me a scathingly incredulous 'no??' like that was the world's dumbest question
what do you mean NO. they've figured out PRESSURIZED INDOOR PLUMBING but not GETTING THE WATER HOT????
#I'M the asshole????#I have to build a fire under my bathtub like a cartoon witch is going to make soup out of me if I want a hot bath??????#there are so so so many things that ARE unique to the modern world and a post-industrial society that just get glossed as 'normal'#and it's fine! to be clear! sure yeah of course you can Buy Clothes at The Clothes Store and that's normal and not a big deal#we're playing by ren faire rules here it's a lot of aesthetics and vibes and that's fine#but if I invoke something actually historical-- not even WEIRD or INCONGRUOUS (I THOUGHT??)-- it's a coinflip whether I get pushback#like WELLLL OKAY IF YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT ME ABOUT HOT SHOWERS I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT ANCIENT SOCIETIES THAT HAD THEM#'GETTING WATER HOT' IS A PRETTY FUNDAMENTAL TECHNOLOGY DO YOU REALLY WANNA OPEN THE DOOR TO HISTORICAL QUIBBLING#BECAUSE WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE OFF-THE-RACK NONMAGICAL ARMOR AND WHERE THE HELL YOU THINK THAT CAME FROM#IF YOU WANNA PLAY THAT GAME#it's so weird and arbitrary what Feels to people like it has to be Too Modern to exist in a Ye Olde fantasy setting and what doesn't#I've gotten pushback on pocket watches before pointing out that that's straight up a thing that exists in base 5e#(Juniper said something to the sorcerer about them and someone was like 'hmmmmmm' and I had to remind him that the sorcerer owns one)#don't fucking 'mmmmmm I don't knooooow if that's realistiiiiic' ME sir that's her trinket off the trinket table in the PHB.#and accurate mechanical clocks are a LOT more modern and more challenging in real life history than getting WATER HOT.#ANYWAY. rabbitholing wikipedia because I had the thought 'maybe gnomes do sauna. what's up with saunas' three hours ago#and then found myself on a History of Public Bathing timeline and made myself mad looking at all the hot water throughout history lmao#about me

I JUST REWATCHED PIWON MOVIE AND I HAVE THINGS TO SAY

#okay first of all THEY DEBUTED WITH A MOVIE !!!! that's so crazy every time i think about it im like woooow#jongseob and intak acting debut when ???? they were sooo good omg unlike kyo i didn't remember how bad he was 😭😭 but his#character is hilarious so it's fine <3 ALSO i completely forgot yoo jaesuk and jung haein are in it like guysss what are u doing here hihi#anyways absolutely oscar worthy real cinema if u ask me#now after taking notes and watching the new trailer a few times i think that p1epi is actually chaeyoons weird talking plushie#but since it's away from her it can't talk so that's why jongseob create that thingy to translate from#dog language to human language and i think it's there because maybe the members got like lost in time and#it wants to remind them that they have to save the entire world from the apocalypse#also p1epi came down from the sky just like the alcot meteor like ummm yes we love symbolism 🙂↕️#i saw someone saying the dog it's actually intak because the dog came through the window and intak wakes up next to one but it doesn't make#any sense to me so we're throwing that idea in the trash can#talking about intak hes now has blue eyes so that means he got infected but honestly when did that happen while he was fighting#some zombie? idk i think i have to watch all their mvs again for clues but what that means he's one of the bad guy now??#also i may be insane but what if the shop represents the world and seeing it in flames means the members couldn't save it and their lore#ends with the saddest ending ever like yeah sorry the apocalypse won#OR WHAT IF !!!!! they aren't the ones who can save the world they actually are the reason why it's ending like the masked ghost#actually created them to spread the virus and that would also explain them at the end of the trailer looking#at the burning shop without doing anything like they ARE alcot the meteor thats gonna destroy the world#but that would be too dark i know they're the heroes so it will have a happy ending#i have many theories but im starting to scare myself so ill shut up#pt

yeah sure that's how i'll [re]come out

#zymart#zymtalk#rant in the tags ->#okay listen to me this is really important and also i have a witness. this was not intentionally supposed to be posted on june 1st#the stars just aligned for this to be at its funniest. which means its also easier for me to dismiss LOL#i drew this like a week ago after trying to draw a whole like. 5 page comic about it and then stopping it mid-board#bc it was horrifying imagining being perceived that much. so i needed to make it into a joke instead and this was the funniest route#and then i was like 'UGH. UGH!!!! i can not be 20 and deal with this like im 13. if i dont post it by the end of the week#then [the witness to all my rants on this topic. shoutout to twig bc they got the most of it] can joke abt it as if i did anyway'#and now its the end of the week and i looked at the date and went 'oh my god didnt may just start what happened'#'WAIT ITS JUNE FIRST. GOD. THATS TOO FUNNY TO NOT SAY SOMETHING' and who am i if i dont prioritize the bit honestly#in all honesty. kinda hate it! not bc of internalized homophobia but actually bc of internalized arophobia that has somehow been emphasized#after having my brain shift from '1000% aromantic without a doubt no exceptions' to 'just arospec ig lol??'#but tragically as it turns out. you can not just try and self analyze yourself into speedrunning closure.#horrible news for the oscar zymstarz community frankly#SO i needed a way 2 justify shoving this off my plate and into the trash as fast as possible.#im impatient and cant acknowledge my own emotions. its a flaw im working on it#oh and for all the ppl who know the running gag abt 'my allegations' [i do not have any real allegations for anyone not in jems server]:#that was in fact just a running gag for like well over a year and a half. like that was just a long running bit COMPLETELY unrelated to thi#i only started having this weird sexuality shift or whatever not too long ago lol. like long enough to go through 4 of the 5 stages of grie#[evidently bc like. im posting this. i got close enough to 5 to throw in the towel ykwim]#but on 'oscar zymstarz emotional acknowledgement' time that is....... not long.#but yeah ig tldr like. still ace [thank god] just arospec [probably demiro? i hate trying to figure out my own labels] instead of Aro now#idk none of this is that deep but also like it kinda is unfortunately bc i have to actually talk abt it to be able to ignore it ykwim#but i did! we're done talking abt it now! and now i can act like i dont care and try to make jokes about it to speedrun the rest of it#anyway. Happy Pride everyone. Fukign kitty.#side message to jem. by no means does this mean im not still gonna bully you. its a sign of love but also it is you specific bullying 🫶#you are not safe#edit: this is karma for saying 'thank god'. might be demiace too. this is the worst month of my life /j

dating an art student was so crazy I'm just thinking abt that one birthday I had where my ex got me stickers from the etsy of the person they were cheating on me with....
#they made them address the thank you note to me and everything ajskfjfkfb. i didnt know they were cheating at the time but wow...#every time i break out my sticker collection and see them im reminded of it. but i cant throw out the stickers theyre deltarune ones 😭#like they were a rly cool artist.... just unfortunate that happened 💀#the drama was insane. my ex only wanted to sleep with them but they (other person) wanted them to break up with me so they could date#but my ex dumped them rly harshly for suggesting that i guess 'romantic' cheating was a step too far even for them lmaooo#i heard abt their breakup secondhand and god could they be cruel sometimes. they made fun of the sex theyd had w them#to all their mutual friends n everything i actually felt so bad for the other person when i found out. at least our breakup wasnt that bad#i only finally got that cruel side of them directed towards me like a year after when they wanted us to stop being friends#but yeah. its also funny in a way bc my ex only suggested i had adhd bc the other person did too + struggled a lot with rsd#which i guess they found out when they broke up with them. and then looked at that and thought huh my gf is kind of similar...#and this was like. 2 years before i even considered i had adhd myself and sought diagnosis ahdkfidjcjdjfjfjfkdbfnf#this made me go look the other persons art page up on instagram + then i recognised some of their friends/flatmates art pages and i found#their (my exs that is) grad year film which is still being shown at animation festivals... good for them good for them#i dont think they have an art page themselves tho cuz they were always v shy and weird abt sharing art on social media#like everyone else except them is tagged on things... shame i wouldve liked to see what they were making now. even if we're not friends#also one of their old roommates made some REALLY similar squid game fanart to mine like a month after i posted it huh..#not mad abt it or anything i think its cool i just didnt realise they showed my art to their friends. thats cute#ah this was years ago anyway. getting my head out of the rabbit hole#im gonna go play some elden ring and then maybe do smth fun in my sketchbook we shall seeee#.diaries

I feel like your approach to criticizing a certain fandom was the wrong way of doing it. Don't get me wrong, you are a hundred percent right about the lack of representation for certain characters. But you had to have known that you would've gotten backlash for insinuating that the only reason that content is being made is because people are... misogynistic? The characters are well-written; that's why they get attention. The women are also well-written, you're right! But instead of getting mad at the people who enjoy specific characters, you could contribute to what you want to see in the fandom. Make fanfiction, make art, talk about your favorite ships, talk about your favorite characters, talk about the head-canons you have for them, connect with other fans of those characters, make AUs with them, make the fandom you want to see! But I don't know what you were expecting when you come out and say in the tags "you must be misogynists for liking these characters and you must be awful people for playing around with AUs" even though every fandom on this website does that. That was hostile and was only going to get a hostile response in return especially when you specifically put it in the tags for fans of those characters to see. Because it reads as you insinuating that fans of these characters existing is why you don't get any representation of your favorite characters. Or, alternatively, that everyone only likes certain characters because they're misogynists who hate women characters. People make content of them because they like them and because they want to make content of them.
Want more content of the things you want to see? Pay or support the artists and writers who make that content or start making it yourself. Its not helpful to complain that some characters get more attention than others but then make no attempt to contribute to it in any meaningful way. You cannot just get mad at people for liking characters and expect the fandom to magically decide its going to give you the content you want.
This is a long-winded way of saying you are correct in that the fandom seems to hyper-focus on some characters over others. But the way you approached that discussion was combative, hostile, and unhelpful, and you're not going to motivate a community into making content by being passive-aggressive to the people making the content they want to make. Be the change you want to see in the fandom, or support the artists and writers who make the content you want to see.
Its like... You can't complain your garden isn't growing if you're not watering it and not adding seeds, and instead are blaming everyone else for having plants in their gardens that you don't like.
anon i dont know how to tell you this but if you felt the need to write a five-paragraph essay talking about how i need to be nicer to other people when i am pointing out misogyny in a fandom space then, well... actually, i dont know what to tell you other than the fact that i was trying to be aggressive and im not going to be civil about misogyny. my post wasn't made in the hopes of getting people to make more content of the women in borderlands because that would never in ten fucking million years work. it was not a constructive post. you are assuming i have some sort of goodwill about this and i don't. i wanted to be an asshole because, surprise, i am an asshole. funny how that works.
you are also pulling so much of this out of nowhere and putting so many words in my mouth that i dont even know where to begin with it?? i mean this in the kindest way possible nonnie but. this is a wild response to make when all i said was essentially "wow it sure is weird that the majority of content made for bl is focused on only three men when there's a full cast of amazing women to look at" and then "its also weird that people are making aus to erase the canon abuse and exploitation of a CHILD in order to make jack a good father". but thanks for the essay, nonnie. i guess.
#ask: anon#blight rambles#txt post#anon genuinely what are you doing here. what response did you want from me here.#im not gonna be nice about it because. this is my blog and i can do whatever i want. because again. this is my blog.#i wasnt trying to get more content or be civil or whatever the fuck#i was being mean on purpose. because i can do that.#also “the characters are well-written” in a borderlands game. yeah. sure. suuure they are. let's not be silly right now.#also what the hell is up with the vague wording nonnie?#why wont you say the game name. why wont you say jack's name. why not mention the au i talked about before?#is it because you know that its weird? why be so vague?#also again you pulled so much of this out of the fucking air. whatever nonnie#funniest part about all of this is that jack is one of my favorite characters. he is. but i can recognize that the abundance of content for#him and the lack of it for anyone who isn't one of the Other Two. since apparently we're being vague here. is weird#i also like the other two. so we're clear. this isnt a case of me not liking them. i DO like them and i still know its weird.#ah fandom discourse on tumblr dot com. i love you so dearly

gem youre being a real trooper

#ok so like. the magic anon they sent me was 'dororo has the mind of a 2 year old for 10 asks'. right.#and im like. hmm. ok. i see.#i would be willing to go through with that. but i would not be comfortable posting that publicly.#so what we're going to do between k66 and shuraraclub is that i am going to answer to the extent that i am comfortable.#and we are going to be very chill and normal and pg about it. because shuraraclub has a big 'dont interact if youre gonna be weird' on it.#+ im pretty sure that user is a kid so like yeah. Cautiously engaging#i'll cut it off if at any point i go 'hrm no im not doing that'#its a strange situation.

Talked#to me about it. we communicated and then three minutes later went back to talking about x.enoblade LMAAOO it was fun!#but it is ridiculous for me to expect to feel NOTHING at no longer being in a relationship. i cant just feel nothing. i dont feel sad per s#just... in my thoughts i guess? I don't think the feeling of my f/os not liking me stems from me being dumped though. i think thats just me#being me sjdjaksj I'm very insecure a lot of the time. i dont think being dumped helpd very much though LMAAAOO#I'm doing okay i promise. and I'll be alright. theres just both a lot and nothing going on at the same time and i feel... idk what i feel.#i hope my f/os love me 😭 i hope that a lot#and honestly i know this community is ass and I'm more than happy in my own corner with my couple of followers but. ngl I've really felt as#though I'm not valued here and all that junk as of late. yeah just.. i think everything is happening at the same time and I'm tired and#i feel like I'm a confused kiddo who doesnt know anything anymore BAHAHAHA#holy shit it just sounds like i need a shower and a nap huh- I'll be alright I'm just. dealing with stuff akdjsks but i also hate to always#bring the mood down like this! i always try my best to be haha silly and all that shit. I'm just gonna try to daydream about f/o cuddles#(and try to convince myself they dont hate me ofc)#oh and. i know i mentioned this but. i hate the weather. so much. I'm sad all the time.

i think im allowed to assume someones consuming their kinks in a harmful-to-others way if I have first hand experience with them sexually abusing me, personally.
#do i think they always do it in a harmful way? no. because i dont see the world in black and white. statistically thats impossible#but i think its safe for me to assume the worst in this situation with this specific person. personally#instead of trying to make me second guess if i should be so harsh on my abuser and keep my arms closed entirely maybe#we should be confronting them on being a better person for once#yaknow instead of insisting that i need to heal or change or whatever and the fault all lies in me and never in them#food for thought#i promise me being disturbed by and wanting to avoid certain kinks isnt worse than them being sexually abusive. like i really promise.#if you think i do more harm being uncomfortable than they do by sexually abusing ppl then idk what to tell ya#and a lot of the kinks that make me uncomfortable and i try to avoid are the ones they have#forgive me if trauma makes me weary. i mean fuck dude it takes years for me to even feel like i can trust someone enough to be my friend#now you're telling me i hafta jump all the way to trusting ppl wont misuse their kinks towards me? im sorry what world do you live in#i already dont trust a lot of cis men for that reason it doesnt suddenly change just bc you're queer. i gotta know you're not#a sexually abusive creep to even BEGIN to touch the subject of kinks w you#which explains why me and my abusive ex never got that far in that conversation 😒#cis men have a lot of kinks that just hearing them makes me suspicious because personally i have lived with a cis man who sexually#abused me and was very secretive about his kinks and is the type of person to act one way but then is secretly a pos#so yeah im a little fuckin weary dude. im not assuming people with certain kinks are bad by default but id be lying if i said certain#kinks dont make me a little on edge to hear about someone having. and i'd probably take an even longer time sussing that person out#sorry but i just dont need to be sexually abused again. and for me rn avoiding that is being weary of certain things.#a lot of it is context too... a group of people pretending to be super familiar with me and wanting to dive into kink stuff right away bc#we're all queer so it should be Fine and want me to come to their place that i need to take a car to at night.... yeah gonna pass#but thats why im saying a good long ol' sussing is needed for me to feel ok. if you have an issue with me needing to feel like i#can trust someone to be around them thats just.... really weird. obv i cant always control that but i mean specifically situations i can#obligatory: none of this has to do w kink in public or anything this is all about my own personal life

so they like me, a lot apparently, but we were chatting this afternoon and it was making me feel... worse about myself. and i can see that it will definitely not work out. and i said that i think i'd been developing a crush, but if i was, it's definitely gone now. and i'll have to see them every day for so long. geez
#and they're kind of one of the people who is “weird”#and is so relieved when you don't act weird about certain shit they say#but then you do something or say something that is for some reason “too weird” and it's like#huh??#yeah we're definitely not gonna work out even as friends buddy#you're great and all but no#and they were curious about my mental health story#and i mentioned the did/osdd1b#and they just#probably didn't even see it or read it#and if they did it they didn't acknowledge it#and that's something that's hard as fuck to share#so yeah#that's fun#and i have to reject them#and see them every day#woohoo
