#I have been thinking about this non stop

Somewhere on route to China in 1841, James decides it's time to make matters into his own hands. And get rid of a handfull.

I mean... if it's the heroic age of medicine, if you know a guy you can probably talk them into doing recreational surgery

no but what would it take for buck to see eddie become isolated (either by force or by choice) and just. let him. buck who never let things go when he knows something's wrong. who pokes and prods and breaks down doors and steps inside and sits with eddie in his darkest, messiest moments. what would eddie have to say or do for buck to hold up his hands and take a step backwards when we know that's the last thing he'd ever want to do. or would eddie simply push and push and push until he can not only close this particular door but nail it shut too in an effort to keep buck on the outside because he thinks that's the right thing to do. that it's what he deserves. to be alone in the aftermath of a storm he himself created. but also; there's not a single door that the right key can't open. so even if it seems like buck is letting eddie keep himself locked up and isolated, who's to say that he isn't just trying to find the right key. because this is eddie, right. and i don't think buck knows how to not care about him. i don't think he knows how to stay away, especially if eddie's shutting him out.

Are the Bad Kids ever going to have a normal spring break?

Junior year: not looking likely

Sophomore year: we all know how that went

Freshman year: weren't they in jail?

the way I was introduced to dc was teen titans in which nobody ever uses their secret identity ever. They never use their names, only their pseudonyms and that has stuck with me for some reason. Idek if they know what Robin looks like. Robin is Robin, Starfire is Starfire. Stop calling him dick grayson stop deadnaming him

“From the moment I saw you trying to go over the wall…I have loved you desperately. I cannot breathe when you are not near. I love you, Charlotte. My heart calls your name.”

[necrotic-nephilim]

there is not enough femslash in batcest circles. the girls deserve to be just as weird about each other as the boys are. if BruDick gets to be weird father/son/brothers/lovers/friends/rivals/soulmates then it is only fair that Babs/Cass get to be mother/daughter/sisters/lovers too. Something about that deep intrinsic but undefinable love that is born out of trauma, especially if you consider Cass not knowing what healthy love looks like in the first place. i think it's fun and deserves just as much fandom content.

besides that, you can get even more niche with rarepairs like Helena/Steph. Huntress/Spoiler: Blunt Trauma is already a fantastic comic and even though it's their only real canon interaction it has so much potential. very comparable to TimJay in how Helena tries to get Steph to understand her morals and the corruption you could play with it.

batman: huntress/spoiler: blunt trauma (1998)

that comic also highlights on how both Steph and Helena are outcasts of the Batfamily and don't have the approval of Bruce to be doing what they do in "his city". I think there's so much Potential in Helena taking Steph under her wing because Bruce won't let her in and it becomes a weird codependent toxic sapphic mess. I think the protectiveness Helena feels over Steph from the get-go is so clear and the way she wants to look out for Steph, wants to make sure Steph understands the real world? I love them. Helena should be allowed to steal Steph, actually. I think it'd be fun.

there are a lot of other possibilities too like Babs/Steph or even getting weird with Helena Bertinelli/Helena Wayne and the existential question of "is it selfcest or not." But these two specifically live in my head rent-free, especially Helena/Steph and one day I'll convince everyone else to ship it too.

Pokémon Masters EX spoilers ahead!

Kabu likes to play TAG with his pokemon... and he's shown to have a much softer side beneath his strictness in pokemas too... he's so grandpa-shaped to me 😭💖

When Philoctetes, son of Poeas and Demonassa, was on the island of Lemnos, a snake struck his foot. Juno had sent it, angry with him because he alone rather than the others had dared to build the funeral pyre of Hercules when his human body was consumed and he was raised to immortality.

Hyginus, Fabulae, 102

the repeating cycles of it all, and also the. the everything about Sophokles' Philoctetes. wounds. abandonment. the fucking isolation and misery of it all.
