#BEFORE ANYBODY COMES AT ME

Ah yes, Magnificent Century, or as I like to call it – “Why the fuck are the most likely Ukrainian girl and the Crimean Tatar woman speaking Russian to each other, what were the writers smoking???”

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.

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.

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 🥺

Karen has most certainly informed Luigi about Tisch’s comments because “he’s hot” isn’t the only thing she said in that article, she also revealed that they were working backwards to find someone who fit the crime, instead of studying the evidence and methodically following leads. Like she straight up says their genius idea was to find someone who resembled the shooter and then make the rest of the puzzle pieces fit, and also that they were struggling because they couldn’t find someone with his “chiseled jawline” or “wild eyebrows.” This is 100% going to come up during trial as proof that they were prejudiced from the start. Also ties into the PA suppression issue because the cops arresting him said they knew for sure it was him the second they saw him, except how did they know that when the investigation method was so random? They had absolutely nothing concrete to go on.

What really makes this skin crawling is that Tisch was one of the people responsible for the manhunt and the dehumanising behaviour he has been subjected to. He’s a good looking boy and I think every human with eyes can acknowledge it, but what really icks me out is that these people lusting over him have 100% control over his circumstances. It adds an additional later of vulnerability to what he’s facing. I would be furious if the people responsible for my misery were also fantasising about having their way with me.

i'm pretty sure Luigi knows about the legal matters described in that article, but i don't know if he knows about the unprofessional behaviour shown by Tisch with that "hot" comment of hers. that sure doesn't seem to be useful legally, but then Karen has had to have a lot of very uncomfortable conversations with him already, so who knows.

I would be furious if the people responsible for my misery were also fantasising about having their way with me.

this is exactly what is so sickening about that comment, including the audacity that Tisch must have had to admit it so publicly and so brazenly.

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

i was 11 when the first season of stranger things came out. i first watched it right before season 2 was released. i still remember the way i felt that spring, the way the air felt, it was so hot, i was basically stuck inside. my mum and i watched the entire first season in the span of two days. i can almost taste and smell the memory of that time in my life. arizona peach iced tea, mario badescu rosewater spray, sunflowers by elizabeth arden.

i first watched stranger things as a closeted and mentally ill child. i wished i could just be normal, like everybody else. i had a crush on my best friend at the time, i think she liked me too. we haven’t spoken in eight years. seeing a depiction of what i was going through, albeit a very different situation, as portrayed in a show that was so popular and widely loved by the general public in the character of will made me realise that things will be okay. everything will eventually work out.

when i was a kid i regularly had dreams in which i would go missing. there was never anything else to the dreams, or nightmares rather, i’d just disappear. sometimes i wished i would go missing. i felt like a burden to my friends and family because of my mental health issues, and the cherry on top was me being a lesbian. i used to cry myself to sleep and ask God if he was listening, why couldn’t i just be the normal daughter that every other parent seemed to have?

i’m so lucky that my parents accept me for who i am. i grew up thinking that everybody hated me because of my sexuality, that i was disgusting and wrong. i see a lot of myself in will, and joyce with my own mother.

all this to say that i Will be crying hysterically if there is a graduation scene in season 5. this show has been a constant throughout my life since i was 12. i’m 20 now, and since watching the first season as a mentally ill closeted child, i’ve changed a lot, and i’m a lot less sad than i used to be. i used to think i’d always feel like a mistake, like something was wrong with me, like i had to hide who i truly am.

i know this sounds so cliché, but it gets better. i’ve lived it. if you told me a decade ago that i would be living as an open lesbian, with friends and family that couldn’t care less about my sexuality and love me for who i am, i wouldn’t have believed you. trust me. it gets better. representation is so important in a show as impactful as stranger things for people like me and so many other queer people.

to anyone reading this, i love you, i care about you, and everything will work out in the end.

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

cynfeald aka fey (feycga) aka ambrose's mom. she's kind of evil but it's not about the child neglect. the child neglect is arguably the most understandable thing she's ever done

people who're thinking that the syntax of the alleged feds letter is similar to Luigi's actual letters in prison, do any of y'all know english grammar and how it works?? somebody who says "i come from an engineering background" is not gonna be the same person who says "i work in engineering". firstly because "i work in engineering" makes no sense. it's like a doctor saying "i work in medicine" instead of simply saying "i'm a doctor" or "i come from a medical background".
