Astarion: let me tell you about my master and my 200 years of trauma.
Gale: let me tell you about my ex l and how I was groomed by a goddess. Also I'm about to blow up.
Shadowheart: I'm part of a cult and also my hand hurts a lot but instead of being honest I'm just going to be really obvious about it and then tell you it's none of your business
Tav, who's being fucked by all of the gods and just wants to sleep:
Today I was made aware of this buckwild scene in Star Plus' Mahabharat(2013) courtesy our wonderful IMQ discord server members and we all collectively had a flashback to every shitty bollywood and tv serial blood sindoor/kumkum maang-filling scene in existence. I HAD to make this. Enjoy this mess.
in lieu of having posted any writing/headcanons/asks in the past few days because i have been *so* busy and unable to do anything fandom-related which is terrible and evil, i have a poll out of morbid curiosity and self-indulgence. i've been meaning to ramble here about how i feel about DC's lack fo Deaf representation and which Batfam members i would personally make Deaf, but i am mildly curious about the larger opinion and now i will subject you all to the question, i would love to hear thoughts/opinions/headcanons on any specific choices. (would love d/Deaf/HoH opinions esp but i'm mostly expecting this to reach the hearing crowd, so opinions from hearing ppl are ones i'm very curious about. if you've never given it thought before you are going to now or else /lh)
dandelion is indeed the worst but if he’s not present in the next book i would legitimately be sorrowful as the whole thing will become a slog . you basically cannot have the “short stories” era-of-the-timeline iteration of geralt without dandelion, it would be like eating unbuttered bread.
though it’s not like season of storms did them dirty, i wasn’t disappointed with it (… with regards to them), but since it’s literally been over 20 years since the saga was finished i’m trying to prepare for any potential reality
also I think Jadus doesn't know how scary he is. mans walks into Intelligence like he's trying to order a cheeseburger while the entire staff is moaning on the floor from his pure ShitvibesTM
It's low-key wild when I like a side character so much that I'd read a fic about them navigating life outside of a romantic relationship. I go on AO3 and every fic is "come look at your brand new blorbo x this other character"
and I go "no, I just wanna read a fic about my blorbo lying in bed and thinking nice thoughts :)"
N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice)
oh god there are so many more things than 3 that i would like to see in the DC fandom that i dont see. but i'll shave it down to 3
MORE LANTERNFAM
-dear god please give me more lanternfam. i want hal! i want guy! i want john! i want kyle! i want kilowog! i want carol! i want razer! i want aya! please god i just want more lanternfam
-on that note, i also just want the lanterns to get more respect???? they wield the most powerful weapon in the known universe and are insanely powerful to be able to do so. lets get some respect on their names, please?
midnighter and apollo actually getting the credit they deserve instead of being watered down little bitches
-dear god please dc ruined their characters and took away all interesting factors that either of them had and left them soulless shells of the men, nay, gods they used to be. they took away their marriage. they took away their daughter. they took away their beautiful codependency.
-instead, midnighter is an edgy batman knockoff and apollo is a superman fanboy
-they would not fucking say that
-and a lot of fans are seeing their new 52 and rebirth versions and accepting that as who they actually are as characters, and no! they had a rich and vibrant history before the new 52 ruined them
-i just want them to go back to who they were, together and apart, before the new 52, where their story actually had meaning and a political message instead of the watered down fanservice "oh look we have gay characters" that their comics are today
more content that separates other characters from the bats so they can get an actual story told
-ive complained about this in some of my tags recently, but as someone who is in a lot of other parts of the dc fandom that ISNT the batfam, i'd like to be able to sit down and actually have content for characters, ships, and dynamics between characters that dont involve any of the bats.
-im a lantern fan. do you know how hard it is to actually find content for that? there is so little guyhal content, or superlantern, or green lantern the animated series, or hal's relationship with literally any other character when compared to the content for bruce and his kids.
-i want to be able to read clark kent content without it being about bruce. i'd like to read superbat where its not about clark being a stepdad to the batkids and completely ignores clarks kids. he has kids and this is as important to his character as bruces are to his.
-i want to read flash content without dick in it. i'd like to have comics coming out where i wont have to read about the bats and their misadventure of the year
-please stick the bats in an alternate dimension where nothing happens for a year so i can enjoy literally anyone else doing anything else
-duke can stay bc he already has literally barely any content for him and i think he deserves to get to grow as his own character for a bit. im putting him in a terrarium with shelter, food, and enrichment and gently misting him with water as we speak. i shall take care of him as he becomes independent and gets to be a kid for a little while. he is being taken care of well
-that being said can i please have more fics where we take bruce's kids from him and they actually get to grow a personality other than "gotham vigilante"? let hal steal bruces kids! let clark! let barry! let dinah! please im asking very nicely
