#I love him a lot and think he’s underrated

[mikeyp16]

Jimmy Hudson my beloved, they Fr gave you a lowkey cool suit only to put you in a boring black shirt instead 😭

Those who don’t know who he is he’s Logan’s kid from the original ultimate universe. They kinda just waist him if you ask me and I felt bad next thing I knew I’m attached and I’ve added him to my group of favorite sniktlings

(Unseen Academicals, Terry Pratchett) I think Shang Qinghua and Ponder Stibbons should have tea and compare notes about somehow accumulating so much behind-the-scenes power by doing menial jobs no one else wants that they could basically run the show if they wanted...

meanwhile we have Shen "meh good enough" Qingqiu

sleep deprived dust can't recognize what's dream and what's real when he goes in and out of consciousness so i think dust is allowed to be incredibly reckless when he's awake but thinks he's in a dream. he will kill whoever passes by him (or attempt to. for him it's an instict to shoot bones anyways.) he will drink 4 bottles of alcohol just because he thinks its just a lucid dream. have incredibly loud conversations with phantom paps because he's asleep so nobody will hear him talk. or just have loud ass breakdowns because again he thinks he's asleep!!! nobody's gonna know what he gets up to in his dreams. and until someone (probably phantom paps) tells him that he's not asleep and this is reality he won't realize until he's done something really reckless

horror is seconds away from exploding dust's skull open with his magic while dust is trying to strangle him and FINALLY phantom paps tells him he's awake and dust snaps out of it. killer is walking around the house with bones sticking out of him like pins on a sewing pattern (casually too. another day in the life for him) and he just asks dust what that was about. dust just gets off of horror and shrugs his shoulders with an idk. and then walks away. this is the 6th time its happened this month

bweirdoctober day four: under-rated oc

ahh.. are roblox ocs cringe? yes? don't tell me.

i have a whole connected universe of them, and this is the spirit! he's a vampiric freak of a man that likes to. "remove" artifacts to put in his personal museum. he also has a torrid affair with the curator, who as their name implies, curates a more public museum of things they steal.

neither of them are very good people, but they love each other and love to hate each other <3

My appreciation for iris and ota as characters increases every time I play aitsf like I think the side characters in aini are more likable but they don’t have as much depth cuz you have to remember them in all these different points in time and their different relationships with all the protagonists and it gets really wishy washy but in the first game it’s just like. Here’s iris and ota, they’re fucking annoying and sketchy as hell. Please spend all your time with them 🥰

Submission by @carebooks "

Rewatching S1 and am I the only one slightly impressed by how they represent Alfie’s trauma?

- he’s barely speaking when they find him

- he doesn’t even change his clothes to try to go bed, and also props to Jerome for actually being a concerned friend. even Jerome can recognize that Alfie is in terrified

- Alfie also reacted badly to physical touch

- when he’s back it’s like it never happened, he says he blacked out but there are flashes and moments that trigger it back

- him making his own nightmare survival kit, his own Alfie-style self care package

- when he’s back in the cellar it’s even worse, he can remember sounds and faces more clearly but it clearly put him back in a bad place

- in S2, we bring back his trauma through his newfound claustrophobia with having to go through the small tunnel crawlspace. he even did some exercises with sleeping under his bed

- in S3 he still doesn’t like small spaces but says he’s been working through it, and he uses motivation as a way to get to his artifact

idk guys, i just got wistful of it all when i was rewatching the first season. im just surprised they did this in a kids show back then, like yes s2 there was a literal threat of death on their backs, but the fact that they decided to give on the teens, and the class clown at that, actual trauma by having him witness the egyptian-appropriating immortality-wannabe cult made up by adults he sees on a daily basis really set the tone for the show

"

CAREBOOKS I"VE MISSED YOUR REWATCH SUBMISSIONS

I completely agree, I think Alfie's character is really amazing. We are introduced to him as a slow-on-the-uptake class clown, but as the series progresses we see so much more than that. He's been through a lot and the way he handles his trauma feels very realistic, he's working through it but it never fully goes away, and he accepts that and even tries to help others. We can also see he's way more socially aware than most of his peers give him credit for, some of the best-handled sibuna plans were done with Alfie at the forefront (the ones coming to mind immediately are season two practicing the crocodile walk in the drama room and the magic show to switch the amulets)

I love Alfie!!!!!!!!!

god, i forgot how good Syrup Village arc is and how great Usopp is as a character

he lies but it's to entertain people, lift their spirits, and to say things he wishes were true. his lies are almost never malicious outside of to his enemies. he started shouting "pirates are coming ashore! pirates are here!" every day on his tiny home island because his dad was a pirate, and his mom was deathly ill, and he wanted to make her feel better, and let her think her husband was coming home with medicine to cure her.

when a rich girl his age in his village's parents passed away and she in turn got ill from grief, he began coming up with fantastic stories to cheer her up, and in doing so literally saved her life, like he couldn't with his mother.

and most importantly, when pirates did come to attack the town, and specifically kill his friend for her fortune, and the village people inevitably didn't believe him bc of his prior lies, he decided he'd make sure that the pirates never make it to town, and that to the townspeople, it would just be another lie. even though they treated him poorly, he still loved them and wanted to protect them.

and thanks to luffy, nami, and zoro, he was able to.

he's great

i have a concept for kenjaku/reader/takaba that i’m very fond of but that’s even more niche 😭

that is... so random, but i am very intrigued???

i don't think i've ever seen someone write a fan fic about takaba??

like what would that even look like?

I LOVE TAKABA :((((( he’s one of my favorites. i ADORE kenkaba as a duo and as individuals so i just think. they’d make a good poly ship :3 in a no curses au to be clear!!!! my idea for this fic was an au where kenkaba is a famous stand-up duo and reader is their s/o and biggest fan :33 but then i also started thinking a bit about a domestic fic where kenny is an artist and takaba is a comedian…. idkkk i just think it’d be cute!! kenny bullies you both lovingly and takaba is an actual puppy. golden retriever bf. he would Die for you both.

here’s a post i made abt it a while back .. i talk abt it a tiny bit in the tags :3 it’s not a super thought out concept yet but yeah!!! i just Adore their dynamic and i need them both to love me

Why Duke Thomas Should Be A Dick Grayson Hater

Dick and Duke is such an underrated and underexplored relationship. Here is my pitch for why Duke should be a Dick Grayson hater.

1. The Rooftop Thing

Reason number one and the start of Duke's grudge should be the rooftop incident in Robin War. Dick, as part of his plan or whatever, leads Duke to a roof and abandons him to the cops.

LOOK AT DICK'S SMUG FACE. Tell me you wouldn't hold a grudge too if this was the FIRST major interaction you had with him?? Duke should use this against him at any possible opportunity.

2. ACAB

From We Are Robin #2. Once Duke finds out Dick used to be a cop, it's OVER for him.

3. Jason and Damian

Duke is quite close with Jason and Damian (in my head, particularly Damian - that's his LITTLE BROTHER). Anyway, these two are obsessed with Dick. You have Jason, with his miles-long brother issues that puts Dick on a pedestal, and you have Damian, who thinks Dick is the best person on Earth who can do no wrong. They would talk Duke's ears off about him. Duke would HATE IT.

4. Robin

This panel from Night of the Monster Men sums up quite nicely the difference in the way Dick and Duke approach vigilantism. Duke is the 'idealised' Robin, whose Robin-ing isn't contingent on Batman; Dick is more or less too tied up in Bruce. I think, because the Robin identity means a lot to Duke, having the original Robin be like this would irk Duke a LOT.

5. Tom Taylor

SPOILERS FOR CURRENT NIGHTWING RUN: in Nightwing #116, Dick gets framed for murder and Babs tells him to reveal he's Nightwing to clear him of suspicion. She says Bruce suggested it, and recounts everyone who agreed:

Hm. Is someone missing here? Oh yeah: DUKE. TT probably just forgot Duke, but where's the fun in that? Instead, if Duke is a Dick Grayson hater, you have the funniest scene imaginable. Everyone gathered in the Batcave, laying down their identities for Dick, and Duke is like 'I don't give a damn. He can rot in jail.' and peaces out.

BONUS points if he does this to get back at Dick for reason number 1.

6. Parallels

Duke's origin deliberately mirrors Bruce's, but that means it mirrors Dick's as well. Duke and Dick parallels go insane: they both had loving families, lost both parents at once, were in the foster system (varyingly for Dick but for the purposes of this post I'm gonna include it), were wards/not adopted by Bruce initially, have a huge reverence for family, have a thing about heights, view Robin as separate from Batman, forged their own identities, etc.

Tell me this page doesn't slap:

Anyway Duke would HATE this too. He'd be so annoyed that the person he has the most in common with is Dick, and that would fuel his Dick Grayson haterism.

Dick, on the other hand, has no hard feelings towards Duke. Duke would be glowering at him from the corner of the room and Dick would meet his gaze and be like 'ah Duke is so cute' and smile back. This would make Duke 10000x angrier.

Anyway that's my ideal Dick and Duke dynamic, feel free to add or modify or disagree with anything!!
