Tim has noticed something odd, about the Demon Brat.
Sometimes, the Demon Brat would look to his left, as if to start a conversation, or as if anticipating someone saying something, only to freeze. Just for a moment, a half second, because nobody was there, before looking away with painful expression.
Months later, Tim decided to stand there, just to see what would happen. The brat didn’t look at him once, and Tim found that curious, and odd.
Another odd thing about his new, murderous brother, is that he refuses to look into the mirror. That’s not true, exactly: he would look in the mirror for basics, for necessities.
Tim realized, months of observations later, that the brat didn’t look himself in the eyes.
Strange.
Tim had asked him, once, why he didn’t. As expected, all he got was a “It’s none of your business Drake.”
But that didn’t stop Tim from wondering. Tim is, if nothing else, curious to a fault and persistent to an illegal degree.
And so the strangeness would continue, and Tim would wonder.
The brat would look to his left, pause, and then look away. He would deftly avoid mirrors, and when asked why he would sneer and avoid those questions, too.
Until he didn’t.
Until he came back to the Cave battered and beaten, some dreary autumn day, the Demon Brat unusually sullen and quiet and off his game. He had sat through the lecture Bruce had given him, and sat through the quiet reaching out from Dick, and sat through the cajoling teasing meant to rile him up, to get him to say or do anything per the norm, with an unusual aplomb.
The brat apologized, said he was fine, and ignored the rest. He told Bruce he wouldn’t patrol tomorrow, and would stay home from school, because clearly he wasn’t feeling well.
It was like Damian wasn’t there, fully.
So when Tim saw that the brat’s door was open, the next day, he peeked in.
Of course he did.
And there the brat was, sitting in front of the full length mirror he usually had covered with a cloth when it wasn’t in use, reaching up and staring directly into his own reflection’s eyes.
“Demon Brat?” Tim asked, stepping in and concerned about the look in the other’s face. There was no answer.
“Damian. What’s wrong.” Tim stood behind the boy, watching as Damian touched the corner of his own reflection’s eye.
“The color’s wrong, Drake.” Damian finally said, matter of fact and almost broken, absent-minded.
“What?” Tim asked, trying to see what he was talking about. Nothing was wrong, nothing was changed. Damian met his eyes through the mirror for a long moment, but Tim didn’t understand.
“The color.” Damian reiterated, looking at his own reflection again.
“The color? Of what?” Tim and Damian were never close, not really, but he was starting to feel like something was slipping away, in this moment. Damian dropped his hand, and finally looked away.
Without answering, the boy got up and carefully draped a cloth over the mirror, ushering Tim out of his room silent as the dead.
“Leave me be for today, Drake.” Tim reached, opened his mouth to try and say something, because something was wrong, but what?
But Damian simply shut the door softly.
The sound of the lock engaging felt strangely, and utterly, final in a Manor full of lockpicking detectives.
Tim laid a hand on the door, and mourned.
#demon twins au#that last scene grabbed me in a chokehold and demanded i let it out of my brain#so here i am#danny was meant to be a shadow and therefore damian was trained not to tell anybody about him#i imagine danny died just before damian was taken to the manor#this is about a year after damian comes to the manor and therefore a year after danny has died#whether danny is actually dead or not is up to you#i havent thought about him beyond being separated from damian and damian thinking hes dead#adoptable please take it away from me#angst#ficspam#dcxdp

The fact that autistic adults are being bullied off the internet because they share videos of themselves stimming or sharing their special interests is appalling. What's even more disgusting is the fact that a lot of the people bullying autistic adults off the internet for this are low support needs autistics.
Autistic adults sharing videos of themselves stimming isn't "making autistic adults look childish" or "an obvious sign of faking autism". Autistic adults sharing their special interests isn't "immature" or "childish".
Low support needs autistic adults are all for "autism acceptance", "autism awareness" and "fuck ableism" until other autistic adults, no matter where they are on the spectrum, publicly share what autism looks like for them.
#and before anybody comes after me for this post#i AM a low support needs autistic adult#actually autistic#autism#autistic#autistic adult#neurodivergent#neurodiversity

Been struggling really bad with art block so I decided to dragon-ify another one of my favorite characters Teto. Been getting into vocaloid a lot more recently and shes got to be my favorite out for the bunch. I think this has been the most I’ve been into vocaloid since I was like… 11.
Anyways sorry for the absence as I said earlier I got into some really bad art block. I have a bunch of wips but nothing seems right. Here’s something that I’m atleast ok with.
I love Teto so much I can’t believe she’s got her own official voice bank my baby is all grown up 🥺
#wof#wings of fire#wof art#watercolor#kasane teto#teto utau#teto synthv#teto#utau#before anybody comes at me and says “oh but tetos a utauloid SHUT UP ik I just lump them together since there similar#traditional art

ijbol idk man releasing screenshots of very polarizing things said in a private discord server between friends in a public "callout" post is #the most #tumblrific thing ive ever seen LOL.
#opinion 😱 in tags
#our life#gb patch#gb patch games#our life beginnings & always#i also think it should be acknowledged that the white queer 'experience' and the black queer 'experience' are totally different#bc there are multiple occasions where GBLady has recieved an ask where shes accused of Something bc of a super specific issue#this whole situation is just the biggest case of GetOverYourself ive ever seen icl#i think rose is entitled to their opinion as a black trans person + a person who previously identified as a trans man#i think its easy to attack rose as an inflammatory person who 'purposely incites discourse' bc they dont use that super-pacifying#everyone is welcome on my blog tone that if not used is immediately interpreted by white people as hostility and rudeness#i don't agree with a lot of their takes that ive seen on their blog that were allegedly posted BEFORE they became a sensitivity reader#but irdgaf#bc its their personal blog and theyre entitled to their opinion and i don't believe u get to feel insulted or slighted#or deem them as unprofessional and inflammatory just bc they didnt speak to u on their personal blog as Nicely as u wanted them to#i just think this all leads back to a growing sense of entitlement in the gb patch fan community#esp among the our life fans#just bc this is a deeply customizable game doesn't mean that the dev can customize Every Single Thing to ur liking#it also doesn't mean that ignorance on the devs part or the staffs part in most capacities is purposefully discriminatory in nature#like no offence but wdym 'ur hands are shaking and u need to get offline' bc of all of This... please grow up and go outside#also This is controversial but a lot of yall use the fact that GBLady is a white cis woman who happens to b writing stories#with a very diverse and nuanced cast to railroad ur ideals on how the characters should b written#and if they don't meet Your personal experience as a member of that marginalized community then They are automatically written incorrectly#again just a very entitled community IJBOL#idgaf if u disagree come and kill me over it 🤷🏾♀️#but also im very curious abt what people think !! 👁#i also dk how to phrase this but the white gb patch community also Reeks of this strange entitlement and i hate to say it but . . .#Sensitivity ??#they have this weird almost parasocial relationship with GBLady + this fantastical relationship with the characters themselves#LOL idk if anybody gets what i mean

hii idk why but the thought of fresh-faced professional scully being so scared she burst into her new extremely flirty but otherwise dismissive partner's motel room in nothing but a bathrobe and undergarments asking him to check her for strange markings before collapsing into him when he laughed at her and said they're just mosquito bites. do you think it killed her? just a bit? just enough that he was It that she realized she could never ever do this again with anyone else and now that she'd done this with him that was it? and lord help her if she ever did it again with him, nevermind anyone else. mortifying introduction. what a way to start out her new career with the fbi
anyways. just thinking about how scully wishes to be perceived and who she really is
#hello ferdie. you might recognize this#btw not that scully can't be vulnerable#she's had boyfriends before and she has friends and she's close with her family#but since then I have not seen this girl act like that unless it's with her mother#or under EXTREME duress#(mind you I only just started s4. literally on episode one as of today so)#her giggles and smiles and just general excitement in the pilot make me want to bawl my eyes out#like she went !! oh shit I do not want to be showing so much of myself off like this !! tone it down !!#and then she does NOT act that carefree again. at least not to that level#feel free to tell me if I'm wrong mind you but I stand by this characterization for now#does this make sense to anybody? I just have so many feelings over scully idk if any of it comes out coherently#she's just a girl living in a boy's world :/#dana scully#x-files#the x files#txf

no offense but if i'm being real right now the DNC never even had a fucking platform to stand on. what happened to the DNC being a labor movement party? where is the universal healthcare? climate change? affordable housing? even fucking biden ran on student loan forgiveness. there's nothing tangible!!!! the DNC is a joke!!!! and instead of doubling down and focusing on what matters they wanted centrist and conservative votes like welp you got them! at the expense of your Muslim and Arab voters
harris's social media campaign may have worked on people but even before that she wasn't even a popular choice to begin with! biden should have never gone for re election in the first place! he robbed ppl the chance of voting for someone they actually wanted in the primaries and we got shafted with his endorsed replacement. like harris didn't even poll well in the primaries in the 2020 election and she didn't have high favorability ratings while she was vice president either and no amount of girlbossing was going to change that
#before anybody comes in here talking about the lesser of two evils politics just save it#this is not begrudging ppl for voting it's me expressing my disapproval with the DNC as a whole#and the ppl using this space to blame ppl who abstained instead of focusing on the fact that this country is going to shit#it's insane to me that MORE ppl voted for trump this time around

there's a conversation to be had about the way people will dehumanize people when they've been exposed to have done something bad, as if those bad actions automatically erase any good they have done in their life. why do you have a problem with seeing those people as human? why do you leave your empathy at the door? why do you feel the need to comment negatively?
liam payne's actions do not diminish his humanity. it does not diminish the good impact he had on people's lives. his family, his friends, his fans, they are allowed to grieve that good side of him, the side they grew up with, the side that made them feel happy, loved, through the music. the man hasn't even been dead for 48 hours and people are already making jokes or saying he deserved it. he was only 31 years old, and yes, he had an enormous amount of privilege. do his bad actions diminish his traumatic experiences? why do you feel the need to make light of everything this man was put through? why do you feel the need to shove his bad actions in anybody's face when they're just expressing their grief?
most of the fans already know the bad stuff he's done, but they're still allowed to feel sad. his family, his friends, they're allowed to be heartbroken that somebody they loved is gone.
human emotion is not black & white, there is nuance everywhere, life is in shades of gray, and people are allowed to grieve for someone who was a part of their childhood, someone who made them laugh, smile, feel seen.
if you feel the need to shit on people for grieving, then you're just a dickhead.
#there's so many things i wanna say more but im exhausted#i've seen so many shitty things and im sick of it#and before anybody comes at me#no i am not excusing his actions.#and i have all the sympathy for maya#she doesn't deserve what people are saying to her

Hi! would you by any chance have tips on how to get a binder when your parents refuse to buy you one? ☹️
That's definitely a sensitive and complex answer, and while I might not know of the best option for your unique situation, there are some ways you can go about this.
If it's a foregone conclusion that you cannot convince them of this, what I used to do is DIY my binder. The ways I primarily did this were:
Option One: Wearing a camisole that was one size smaller than I actually was (so, wearing a small instead of a medium, for instance), then folding it up over my chest. As a disclaimer, this may only work well if you are smaller in the chest
Option Two: Layering two sports bras in my size over each other. Some of the DIY tips I found before I got a traditional binder advised to wear one sports bra in your size, then wear another sports bra backwards in a size smaller. I would advise against this for potential safety reasons, but also because (at least personally), it can be ineffective and a waste of resources.
Some people have also had friends or other family members order their binder for them, but this can be risky, depending on your situation. While I don't know the ins and outs of your specific circumstances, risk management is important to me, so I would recommend this if it is a risk that is acceptable to make.
I understand what it's like to not have access to this resource, so what I will do is advise you against:
Binding with ace bandages (I did this before (multiple times, in fact, because of dysphoria), and believe me, not only did it hurt like hell, but it constricted my body so heavily that I may have done long-term harm)
Wearing a DIY binder (or any kind, for that matter) for longer than your body can handle
Doing DIY in such a way that even mimics binding with ace bandages. This means that your binder shouldn't constrict your ribs, breathing, or range of movement
Here are some general good practices that you should use to guide you for any type of binding, whether traditional or DIY:
When you start binding, only do so in very short sessions to begin with. While binding shouldn't outright hurt, it can be a weird transition while your body is getting used to that new sensation
Minimize heavy lifting or exercise while binding. If it is unavoidable, drink plenty of water and take plenty of breaks
Stretch after binding
Don't bind while sick or have inflammation in your lungs or chest
If you DIY, treat your binder like it is a traditional binder. Don't make the mistake of assuming you don't need to listen to your body because you aren't using a "traditional" binding method
Ultimately, listen to your body. If it is telling you that it needs a break, honour that. Your body isn't punishing you, it is trying to keep you (and it) safe, even if it doesn't feel like it
In the end, this isn't perfect. Sometimes, parents do come around, even in their own ways, even if little by little, they come around. When I first came out officially around 2016, I was convinced that my transition would be completely forbade by my family; I concealed a lot of it in the worst instances of this. However, now, I think most of my family has come through their own journey with the understanding of the reality of what and who I am. I tell you this, anon, because I want you to know that this, too , shall pass. You can make it. I know this might be devastating to you, and believe me, I know what that's like. But it won't be forever. These bridges aren't burnt forever, and I hope you can find your happiness and contentment wherever it may be.
#ask#anon#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#nonbinary#long post#if anybody has other tips or ideas then feel free to speak up#this is what i did before officially binding and what i have seen other trans people do in lieu of getting a 'real' binder#it did suck when i was coming out because i don't think my family had any idea how *their* hang-ups with... me as a person... affected me#and i think a lot of people get their preconceived notions or headcanons of you stuck in their head to the point that it is Reality#i think part of why my dad started actually *trying* to accept me was him realizing that i was actively hiding things from him...#...like he loves me and our relationship is fine now but i'm not going to pretend like he didn't massively blunder after i came out#and if it turns out that your parents don't ever come around (gd forbid) then you aren't obligated to keep them#you don't choose your parents but you can choose your family i think#i always always hope that parents come around to their child/ren and the reality of who they are but i recognize how messy it all is#anon i wouldn't blame you one bit if you feel many complex or 'negative' emotions toward them#i have many complex feelings about this and that's my own baggage. i hope i haven't put words into your mouth or assumed anything too much#i am sending you best wishes and care. this too shall pass💛

Haunted by gladiator! Bruce and consort Clark/Talia thoughts
#like. im utterly pathetic when it comes to worldbuilding. but let me set the scene okay#you're bruce wayne. you're carved out of your mother's stomach when your kingdom is invaded while your father's head rots on a spike#you used to be a prince; you used to be someone. and now you're a battle spawn -- a thing. less than nothing. a machine of gory#entertainment. you refuse to kill. everytime you do they punish you. everytime you care HURTS. you keep caring#you never hated anybody but your emperor might just make you. the first fight you lose is to a blue eyed CHILD. trembling in his armor#before you. you let him pierce your abdomen. when you fall you hear him weep. when you fall you see the king's consort - a new one z#look at you with big eyes and shock. you 're bruce wayne getting sewned back in place because you'll be dead before you're free#you're bruce wayne and the king's consort comes to see you regularly. they ask you 'just name what you desire. i'll do my best to get it'#you're bruce wayne and you haven't spoken in years. battlespawns don't speak. speaking is for people. you point at your abdomed#*abdomen and lay back in bed. you're bruce wayne and the king's consort touches you gently and you weep.#text#gladiator bruce au#aaaAAAAA#superbat#brutalia

Y'know, there's literally no situation where "feminine products" is a better alternative than just labeling the period section either "menstruation products" or "period products", and I'm tired of pretending this game of dodgeball is even remotely rational.
#before anybody says “b-b-but the mention of periods is inappropriate or uncomfortable!!!! think of the boys and men!!! waah!!!”#(<- btw this actually what you sound like from an outside perspective)#i would like to point out that about 50% of the population will or has experienced periods#everybody over the age of fifteen knows this is a thing that happens#if you're really *that* uncomfortable about a normal bodily function.. then you're a child who needs to reflect and find better priorities#menstruation#menstrual period#trans boy#pet peeve#menstrual products#period products#>#feminine products#annoyed posting#transgender#i'm half tempted to go into every store that has a “feminine product” section and place a sticker that reads “period” over the word feminine#come to think of it.. this is probably the reason why the universe made me so short
