Reading Pierre Gilliard's letters and he writes a lot in 1916 about Dmitri Pavlovich and Igor Konstantinovich kissing him, which would make Alexei 'laugh until he cried' lol

Confessional... things get complicated when you're a ghost.

@i-am-as-normal-as-you-are asked for, and this is a literal quote, "R!Edwin going to a confessional (full angst)" so yeah... full angst indeed.

Riordan blending up Paul and Poseidon's character descriptions in chalice of the gods is funny because I now choose to believe that after Paul and Poseidon saw each other at Percy's birthday, they both thought "so that's what Sally's into" and immediately began trying to adopt the other's style.

Half of the galaxy being obsessed with Obi-Wan will always be funny to me.

Like are you trying to kill him or are you trying to bed him, you're sending mixed signals babes

[bibuckaroo]

do you also hate the fact that there are so many people standing there and the only person bam called out for was khun?

and khun's 'why were you not answering me? do you even know how worried i was?'

then endorsi herself pointing out that they forget about everybody else when they're talking to each other.

this arc keeps on feeding me.

To me personally, R*ck could've done more for Percy's and Nico's relationship better than just the "You're not my type." Not only because it just felt like a rush fill-in for closure and not even being true, and the irrepetible damage it did to the fandom who wore the line out among many other things, but also because it felt so lackluster (but many things in HOO felt that way). Like R*ck could've done so much more with these two and their history rather than just brushing it off with this dumb line and Percy being confused in the end like he had any control over the situation. R*chard, I'm in your walls!

SJM doesn't care her fandom's reaction to MC's of her uncoming book

I don't think the e/riels realize that SJM does not care if people would be upset about the characters of the upcoming book, hence, she doesn't need to or isn't "soft launching" anything to "calm the fandom" or "ease" whatever.

Nesta was hated by 90% of the fandom, literally many people were upset that the book wasn't Feyre/elain's, but SJM did not care. She announced and released the book as she did her others.

Literally Chaol was such a hated character and AFTER THE EMOTIONAL TURMOIL that EOS was, she did not gaf her fandom's reaction would be for not getting further story and a book about a disliked character. She launched her book as she did others.

New readers might expect online hints, but we all know SJM =/= Taylor swift, she doesn't interact with her fandom and hence trying to find hints outside the book is simply futile.

SJM knows her fandom and that is why she left it; she knows that ANYTHING about acotar is psychoanalyzed and even after that you think her company or her would make other companies "soft launch" and lose their chance to do marketing and cash grabbing then well that's on you.

he has one reaction

Freddy's death is the funniest to me because for every other Usher kid Verna gave them a chance to have a peaceful death, showed some degree of pity for how they were set up for failure by their father and aunt, and didn't make it personal. Even Roderick and Madeline's death were relatively quick and ultimately came about through their own actions.

But with Freddy she specifically chose not to let him die peacefully. She was just like "fuck you, I'm making sure you die with your dick out next to a puddle of your own piss, paralyzed and forced to watch as a giant swinging pendulum cuts you in two like a knock-off Saw trap, and I'm gonna monologue the whole time about how shitty you are". She played least favourite with him and it shows.

The thing is, I actually think it's a super interesting angle to look at the intersection of trauma and mental illness and vigilantism and coping mechanisms with Jason's character.

But, for me, if you want to seriously ask at what point does Jason need therapy more than he needs the vigilante lifestyle it's not Red Hood Jason you should be looking at. Red Hood Jason was literally murdered and the mysteriously resurrected. That's not something you can therapy your way out of! That's something that no amount of talking will ever help you understand, because it's a completely incomprehensible event!

No, if anyone needs therapy it's 12 year old Jason.

It's 12 year old Jason, who has poverty trauma and homelessness trauma and prison system trauma and parentification trauma and drug related trauma and, depending on your reading, potentially sexual trauma.

It's 12 year old Jason, who is taken in by Bruce - a man who is *also* severely traumatised (in extremely different ways) and chooses to dress up as a Bat and punch people about it instead of seeking healthy coping strategies.

It's 12 year old Jason, who Bruce decides - without psychiatric training or so much as a second opinion - needs the same outlet that "helped" Bruce and "helped" Dick.

And by the time aditf rolls around, Bruce is maybe just realising that he's made a mistake. But it's too late, because for two years he's told this child - a child who arguably feels indebted to him, a child who is extremely isolated and had very few if any other trusted adults to talk to - that violence and avoidance is how you deal with emotions.

I think that's fascinating to think about!

That Bruce's own failure to process his trauma left him blind to what Jason might actually have benefited from! That if Bruce had noticed Jason struggling earlier, if he'd reacted differently or explained himself better in aditf, Jason might not have felt the need to travel around the world alone looking for a woman he'd never met and only just learned about!

That if *Bruce* had been healthier, had been to therapy instead of throwing all his energy into vigilantism, none of this might have happened!

Reframe Red Hood Jason as a tragedy of Bruce's own making, not because of the classist bullshit that Jason was always going to end up a criminal and Bruce failed to stop that, but because Bruce's terrible coping mechanisms became *Jason's* terrible coping mechanisms and nobody likes to see the worst parts of themselves in the mirror.

How Tim Drake stole the show and lost millions for a good cause....... aka getting laid

Part 2

Kon didn't really expect this, to feel so powerful he's fucking Superboy after all but being with Tim watching the envy and just the pure power his boyfriend walks with it's hot and addictive.

The entire gala is practically watching. Tim's arm which is decorated by a Rolex that they picked up today which cost more than Kon has ever seen. It feels good like he deserves it and for now he feels like kryptonite couldn't even touch him.

"How you feeling baby, you look a little flustered." Tim's whispers in his ear voice dripping with sex.

"I'm good but I have to ask is this like you, I don't know how to explain but is this a show?" He feels a little ashamed asking like he is questioning how much Tim loves him but this doesn't seem like Rob.

"Kon, everytime I see you it takes every bit of training I have from bending you over. Right now I want to show all of Gotham who you belong to." He looks straight into his eyes licking his lips.

"I was a Drake before a Wayne this will always be where I belong I want you to know every bit of me. I don't know the cost of a bannana but I know that the woman standing across from us is wearing ten thousand dollar heels that are out of season. This is me and I'm proud of who I am, who you are." He can't help the smile that slips onto his face.

"I didn't mean anything by that I just needed to know this feels like a dream I feel like a queen and I just I love you sunshine I just needed to know." He shoots forward kissing Tim falling into his arms were he belongs.

It's feels like it last forever and not enough when Tim pulls away.

"Now as much as this is my gala and I would love to pull you into a closet and have my way with you My Air we need to go greet Bruce and my siblings so let's go."

Tim directs him over to where the entire batfamily stands looking like gods who are being disturbed by the lesser he especially sees Batman looking him up and down with what seems like disgust.

He wants to hide but he remembers he's on Tim's arm and nothing can happen to him when he's with Tim.

"It's amazing gala don't you think Bruce I decided to come a bit later than expected I was distracted had to pick a couple things up." Tim's voice drips with something he can't name.

He sees Jason and Damian also looking at him something in their eyes that makes Kon want to cry beg for his place as if they are kings and he's just the pathetic peasant asking for scraps. It sends a rush of anger and he does something that he hopes doesn't cause Sunshine to kill him.

"Daddy, You think we could go grab something I'm starving, we barley ate this morning you wouldn't let me out of bed." Giggling as he kisses the side of Tim's neck.

He looks straight at Bruce his face frozen the other bats not much better but Rob catches his attention eyes burning his voice comes out commanding.

"Of course Bruce I have more important matters to attend to good night see you at home." The arm that he somehow forgot for a moment wraps tightly around him leading over to the food and far away from judgemently Bats who seem to hate him.

-

Bruce thinks he should have just never gotten up today not only is his child causing him a migraine. He just heard said sons boyfriend call him a word that he can never hear again. Nevermind the recount of a sex act that he wishes he could bleach from his brain. Luckily his second oldest is always willing to distract him in his own twisted way.

"Am I the only one who feels like they are missing something, I know I tend to piss of Baby Bird but he seemed more high strung than usual." Jason mutters eyes calculating.

Dick doesn't hesitant to also insert himself of course giggling like a school girl.

"Oh you sweet summer children you at a Gala with Tim Drake and I love my baby brother but he's much like his name sake. He has a fair maiden and a love of precious gems this is Tim." Tone changing to an almost growl.

"You all looked at Kon like he wasn't worth anything and to Tim that's the one thing he loves more than anything you pissed off the dragon now I will be going to make my amends for not being more welcoming have fun." He throws over his shoulder making a beeline to Tim.

Bruce really wants a god damn drink.

I love whenever Jim is mentioned post tos and people start fangirling over him. He really is Starfleet's most specialest boy.

A GOOD GIRL?!

[rayssion]

Ngl, kinda sad we didn't get to witness Percy having a chat with the zebra but it's okay ig...

On another note that car scene had me on the edge of my seat like that's the most intense thing in the whole show, all because lover boy couldn't stop staring at Annabeth–

[watermelinoe]

so tired of doing this whole song and dance just for my sleep schedule to continue to fuck itself up anyway
