#(bc her and james hadnt worked out)

[all-too-unwell-13]

i read this one dorlily fic like a year ago that i still think about now

i think it was called "it would've been fun if you would've been the one" or smth like that

and it was like past dorlily, with lily coming back to her hometown to reset her sense of self after her and james didn't work out (where dorcas is) after leaving there to pursue her acting career (and meeting james, getting married and having harry together)

and then it's lily making her peace with the fact that dorcas is happy with marlene now after not getting closure for either of them, and then lily meets

and i just think it's really beautiful

[heather-holloway]

how i, kiara heather-holloway, would plan and write the upcoming live action dylan dog tv show (thats being produced by james wan rn):

OKOK first off. my god. this has to be as comic accurate as it can be. this has to be better than the fucking movie or ill literally d*e oh my god. the movie was so bad and was only dylan dog in name and outfit. 

he needs the clarinet. and not for one scene. gotta have that shitty car, hes gotta be broke, hes gotta live on that craven st, hes gotta have the fucked up doorbell nd hes gotta have that p*lice officer backstory (though i dont want them to go too full into the backstories of the main characters cuz that takes away from the main story of the episode, and is really just unneeded)

this shit will be set in london. but as for the time im kinda on a fence? its always had a timeless sorta feeling, esp as of late with the comics only now starting to establish itself in the 21st century, but i would really like for it to be set in the 80s cuz a lot of the classic comic stories r from the 80s and it would fit in with how old timey he is with his car and movie references

i hope they have the budget to actually get the rights to use groucho marx’ likeness cuz like... the biggest thing the movie was missing was groucho nd even though there was a little easter egg in the beginning of the movie with them dressed like him... it wasnt enough bro, it’s not the same without him :(

if they cant get the rights then i hope they go the felix route, by making him act like groucho and shit but hes not like.. actually groucho i guess

i dont know where this show’ll get distributed, but im hoping netflix, since a 10 episode format (which is what it was confirmed to be) would be perfect on there with all their other shows with short seasons. 

im biased bc i love monster-of-the-week type shows but i think it would be perfect, since the comics are exactly that, where the story is self contained within its episode. i guess they could have some small overarcing story (maybe abt morgana and her tie to dylan?) over the season but idk how something like that could also fit in with the amount of story needed for the monsters and shit

id think itd be perfect if they adapted the first comic “dawn of the living dead” for the first episode of the series, since that comic is the introductory comic for dylan and groucho and how his shit works yknow? the audience could be like following sybil for that first episode as shes asking for their services and is just seeing their BullShit at close hand

idk about the rest of the series, but id love if they adapted the anna never story for an episode tbh

the tone id like for the show would be gothic, with european style of horror, but still crackheaded and bullshittery with grouchos and dylans antics and jokes. i hated what they did in the movie, making it a generic american action horror movie with the club scene of vampires vs werewolves. im so tired of vampires vs werewolves. let this represent european horror and bring that style into american culture Blease

idk who id cast for dylan. someone lanky, british accent definitely, early 20′s/25 maybe. i like brandon routh but hes too old for the part now u_u and honestly, though he kinda looked like dylan in face, he didn’t fit into dylans lanky profile at all. i hope maybe he’ll get a small cameo in the show tho😭 he got did so dirty by that shitty movie

the cast would be revolving, with only dylan and groucho and maybe bloch (if hes in the episode) being the main characters. the romantic interests and side characters for the specific story would last for the episode like in the comics.

this is just for me but id love for there to be a throwaway line about dylan and groucho being married at one point, to reference their marriage in the recent comics

also make the show rated r. i think the titties are the most important part of the comics

while id like for it to be set in london, id also like for it to travel to other places in europe, and take it to interesting scenery nd shit like they always do in the comics. idk how id feel about that one werewolf school story thats set in germany being adapted, but id like to see that german forest scenery lol

there needs to be a few groucho, la pistola! moments where groucho tosses him the pistol ok............also there needs to be the classic pistol

oh and dylan has to say dancing judas at least like 4 times ok .. god

umm for the effects of the monsters, i think itd be best if it was practical, rather than cgi. ive seen netflix’s cgi monsters nd while they work...... the practical effects i think would fit really well in the timeless/80s tone by being like various 80 horror flicks with their practical fx. since the comics were inspired by those classic horror films, like night of the living dead and shit

instead of making dylans personality be the cocky action hero that the movie made him out to be, i... would like for him to still be that jokey loner romantic that he is in the comics, getting himself into trouble cuz he accidentally slept with the monster or the killer or whateva. 

like he’s smart with paranormal shit but he only has 1 braincell and neither him or groucho have it most of the time

oh my god i just realized i hadnt even thought of xabaras ok fuck uhhh OK maybe he is part of the overarcing story. maybe yes he gets introduced in the first episode like hes first introduced the in the first comic. but maybe in the end, with the finale he comes back again, after you thought he was dead but noo ho ho hes alliivee and hes always gonna fuck with you dylan you cant get rid of him. whatever fight happens in the finale, it ends in a sort of draw where maybe dylan thinks he defeated him for good, only for the final scene to be xabaras just chilling, clearly not dead, maybe watching over dylan

(if there was to be a season 2, id like for them to do the “i am your father” reveal then, instead of doing all of that in the first season)

(id actually really like for dylans backstory with the time traveling shit and morgana in the second season to be honest now that i think about it)

the first season can be about the monsters of the week and the second possible season could actually focus more on his character story and how he even got into this shit lol

this show really has the potential to be a really great show that breaks out of the usual horror genre and im going to be SO disappointed when it inevitably becomes like riverdale or sabrina the teenage witch’s unnecessary edgy teen adaptions OR just becomes the generic horror franchise shit that james wan usually fucking does with saw and insidious. 

im really fucking praying that he actually pays attention to the source material and accurately brings the more gothic and european style of horror forward with it, introducing it to a larger american audience... blease for my sake .. i cant do dylan dog: dead of night (2010) again...

[teenpurity]

Yo Tumblr what the fuck is up? I gotta lot to say so hold on to your phones and keyboards bc im about go off.

1. In what world is it ok to blatantly be all over someone’s ex KNOWING the ex is there. Yeah they’re exes so what does it matter? Oh it matters when you fucked him 4 times and want his dick. ESPECIALLY if you didn’t even know if they weren’t together anymore. Trying to sit by him every chance you got and follow him like a damn dog.

2. IN WHAT ASSHOLE WORLD IS IT OK FOR YOU TO ALLOW THAT. you did your dumb ass handshake right in front of me, sat right next to her knowing hey this might make me upset. There was no effort made to make me feel somewhat comfortable.

3. Hey ya defending me would be one hella nice thing for you to do sometimes.

“Hey it’s kind of weird she’s still telling people that”

Nah she just doesn’t want people in her business and asking her shit she doesn’t need/want to explain to her coworkers.

“I don’t feel comfortable about her coming”

“Maybe you should tell her not to come”

I mean she’s not going to kick your ass and I think you need to get over yourself. She’s not that kind of girl.

HEY AND MAYBE DONT FUCKING TELL THE BOTCH I HATE THAT I FUCKING WANT TO SHOVE HER ASS DOWN HERTHROAT??? Like loyalty isn’t a thing. I don’t hear you telling me the shit she has said? Unless you wannna wait a couple of months before you tell me??? Even if she hasn’t said shit to you what makes you think it’s ok to say shit to her?

4. When I saw that James brought his gf to the party it made me realize that boyfriends WANT their gfs going to parties with them. No matter what our situation was it always weird that I went. The least you could’ve done was tell them (when we were in a relationship) that it wouldn’t have been wierd. EVEN IF IT WAS WIERD you should’ve fought for me. (YOU KNOW WHATS WIERDER? ROCIO HANGING OUT WITH CAESAR WHEN THEY HADNT TALKED IN MONTHS? OR MAYBE EVEN ZYANYA AND IRY BEING AT THE SAME PARTY BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO THINK THATS WIERD RIGHT? BC ME GOING TO A PArty WITH AND EX IS COMPLETELY INSANE AND SHOULDNT BE DONE.) But if you didn’t do that when we were together why would I think you would ever do it now. And how all of a sudden that we’re not together your friends start hitting u up to hang out bc I asked if I could hang out with y’all if they ever asked and conveniently they never did???

5. And I need to stop doing you tiny lil favors like bring you juice bc I don’t see you bringing me yogurt. And when I do ask for a favor it’s always an argument.

Hey can you not tell people that we’re not together at work at least so I don’t have to talk about it at work?

“Oh yeah for sure. I told our owner and some co workers tho”

Hey can you return this item for me? It’s completely convenient and won’t take up more than 5 minutes.

“Oh nah i don’t want to go to that store”

Hey can you visit me at work sometime?

“ no I don’t want to. But hey come visit me at dicks???”

I wanna move out soon

“I have an idea! Live with me (:”

You sure. Not gonna be overwhelming? I have no where to go after this

“Yeah but a month later I wanna stop trying and have you leave tho. And say that I’m overwhelmed with other aspects of my life like school, my grandparents being sick, working two jobs then completely drop out of school, my grandparents feel better and work at one job with my uncle as soon as we break up (:”

6. Texting your friend that you feel bad for me and laughing at the fact that I asked U to get back together the next day really hurt. And then telling him it’s wierd that we’re sleeping on the same bed when you literally cuddle me and hug every chance you get making me look like a lame ass ex girlfriend who is trying to trap you?

Idk I’m just saying what popped into my head (: thanks

Duuuude back at Lake Michigan last month the same thing happened to me. I was taking care of my little sister and her five year old friend, so I was so busy making sure they were okay that the wave plowed me halfway across the beach

babybatbrat said: when i was in ap physics i once spent an entire study period in my physics teacher's room working on one problem. as far as i could tell i was doing all of the work correctly and had all the initial values right so i was racking my brain trying to figure out why i wasn't getting the right answer. the third time i went up to my teacher and asked for help he told me to start at the beginning and walk him through my process bc he couldn't tell why i was getting it wrong either (1)

babybatbrat said: (2) so i start the problem and explain how i got through all the values - "okay so the rod is 5 inches long and half of 5 is 3 and a half -" and i stopped there bc it occurred to me that 3.5 is not half of 5. "it's what?" My teacher asks. i put my head in my hands and stood there for a minute before picking up my work and walking to the back of the classroom while he laughed, bc i had just spent 45 minutes convinced that half of 5 was 3.5 and not, in fact, 2.5, and that was the only thing wrong

Honestly??? Relatable

Anonymous said: 1) What are the good comics to read for Batfamily stuff (from any point in time) and 2) what are the best Jason Todd comics? Thanks!

Okay for Jason I would definitely start with the big ones, which are A Death In the Family and Under the Red Hood. After that you could try Red Hood: the Lost Days and Countdown to Final Crisis. I would avoid the n52 series until you have a good enough grasp of the character to recognize bad writing when you see it. 

For the generalized batfam.... that’s pretty broad. My personal favorites are Red Robin, Batgirl (2009), and both B&R series. If you have more specific questions, you should IM me! I promise I’m better about answering those than asks

daziy said: Do we know who Barbara's mother usually is?

Yeah! In her original version, Babs had a birth mom and an adopted mom. She was originally Jim’s niece, so her birth mom’s name was Thelma Gordon. After the adoption, her parents were Jim and Barbara Gordon, with her adopted mother being her namesake. So two Barbara Gordons.

I think for awhile the canon was that her mother died in a car crash, but the current version has her still alive. She left Jim when Babs was young, taking her son (Babs’s brother) with her. James Gordon (the son) turned out to be a serial killer. 

Barbara Gordon Sr. and James Gordon Jr. both appeared in the n52 Batgirl series during the Death of the Family arc. There’s also a very good story about James from the Dickbats period. That one’s called The Black Mirror, if I’m not mistaken?

Anonymous said: hi amy! would u say that damians narrative is written as a child abuse one? like there are definitely many allusions to it but its also not as explicit as say, cassandra or rose. like how much of it would u chalk up to comic world dynamics and how much to actual abuse? also would u consider jason to also be a case of this?

Oh I have very strong opinions about the role of abuse in Damian’s narrative. It’s absolutely there, and the effects are staggeringly large. There is no doubt in my mind that the league was an abusive environment, and I can’t justify some of the things Bruce did either.

I think I would say the same thing for Jason, if not quite as strongly. I definitely think that some of the things that happened to Jason as a child shaped his story later on, but less of those were abuse than outside circumstances. The n52 takes a different track on that one, I think, but I don’t put much stock in that characterization. 

Anonymous said: has jason forgiven bruce for not killing joker? if so, what made him?

Unlikely. They get along better these days, but I would argue that comes from poor characterization of Bruce, not an actual resolution process.

[dreamsanddreams88]

I was at camp like ecos but different place, mostly diff people. Charlotte told me no one liked me & that they thought i was gross cuz i never washed my hands after the bathroom, woke up feeling so upset and stabbed in the back

Stuff was moving in my room, like by a poltergeist. Dodge one of the bookcases falling over. Run to bathroom, the lights wont come on properly, i scream for whoever to come at me, my reflection looks all evil then opens mouth to scream and wake up

At beach w sarah & tanner, smthn bout the porters dog archie. Was gonna watch him for them but he ran away and died. Then me & sarah ran out to beach at night but sand was already freezing. I was in the work truck near BC, on fire road and find huuuge bleeding heart flowers but its fruit like a giant apple. Take a half home for crafts, accidentally get some in my mouth, google it to find its an arsenic and poison

Something where the Wyntheins moved into our old church to live, and some mean dad or stepdad was making me and my mom sweep up this home destroyed by tornado? I asked why the wyntheins couldnt help, or johnny milano from cvcc. Then me & mom had to wear costumes so i was tryna put together a belle costume with the blue apron and books. Then i was in a weird anime, had to do a bunch of stuff to get to underworld without dying. Drive thru this land with huge pyramids facing away from me, they only faced towards the dead. Then go thru a tunnel blindly, then some other scary stuff. A tempting bike path was there, watched a couple bike over a bump and disappear, basically get sucked into underworld.

Got on this old timey ship for 3 month voyage, futuristic robot lady experimenting if old ships really still work. Whole crew was human, except captain lady and engineer and 1st mate were robots. Get to maelstrom and whole front of ship, with humans, gets sucked down. Robot lady did it on purpose, chases after me. Smthn bout my brain being taken out, and a nice Rick from rick & morty helping me

Being attacked by both cowboys n indians, was in wagon train with mom and Aragorn, i had a gun and hid under a wagon. Then i was in cali mountains with mom, at bouldering spot found tanner n new ecos ppl. Shelsey was with me. Then in shirtless group? Then at doctors but tons of ppl there, had to take off shirt

Alexs house was huge and many stories, mikey had girl over who took bae, then drove me thru the house in his car? Then at a school but on big ship that went down a river to seattle. Then in a car with that old man from crocker lake, he took us to a graveyard with cubbies for dead persons belongings to see his war buddy. Next to it was dog grave, with blankets and sad poem, i cried rly hard. Smthn with izzy, i was talking about jenn and some guy and he was upset. Or said they say weird shit to ppl on purpose to find out their "true feelings" or something? Felt bad i hadnt talked to him in forever, was hugging all on him at a bbq

At a cool thrift store, which turned into cispus and each crew had to do this team building race with inflatable canoes and james n brian left me behind at the end cuz i didn't have waders, i was so upset and james was just like *shrug* and then tinder girl keala was there?

In cabins/ at convention with these asian people i just met, was dating one of the guys. Hailey was there too and jazz, then brian eachus, then everrybdoy from hs. Scott renz, janelle,noah henze, trying to catch up with older people who didnt really remember me

At cispus but it was weirdly religious, couldnt go outside into forest without 'disaster book'? At lunch table with lots of friends n katie martins husband, asking what shes like now. Making fun of some fat guy with him, but stop cuz hes also fat. Feel bad that our table is so loud and unprofessional. Also in a van with young john travolta and he said the N word so i yelled at him

Was friends or old coworkers with cardi b, we all went to her opening of clothing store 2 support her. Clothes were like $5000, mostly female office clothes. Commented on her big butt, she implied she was bisexual? Sarah lived out on my balcony/deck

Living at parents old house, were gonna rent out the living room to ppl and wall it off. Matthew still there, tara n peeps wanted me to go to bar at noon on a weekday but i refused. Had no friends, tara surprised i still hadnt met anyone.
