❝ you can’t keep getting your feathers all ruffled when anyone else gives me attention. ❞
(Pick any verse we rped you feel like)
@shisui-uchiha-anon
"Nonsense."
Kabuto scoffed with a sigh as he puts some tobacco leaves in his pipe. He hated to admit that Shisui's ability to naturally seduce humans easily was commendable and it proves to be useful should he needs Shisui to do so. And it saves a lot of his own time and aphrodisiac ingredients and mixtures so that they can be used for something else.
But for now, since they're merely observing, exploring, and testing Shisui's own supernatural abilities, so there was no need to kidnap or hurt anyone. Though Kabuto can't help but admit that deep down, even he was entranced by their charms and alure for a moment till he snapped himself out of it as soon as he sensed trouble. He'll bite off his own tongue rather than admit that of course so he breathes in another inhale of his pipe.
This is going to be a long night.
"I am only upset that you got careless and the man's companion almost noticed your "uniqueness" till I had to step in and distract them. Not everyone is going to be a lone drunken fool that you can trick and lead away. But progress is progress, even if the result and the reaction is not 100 percent."
He steps over the unconscious man on the floor and he waits for them to follow, "Let's head to the other side of town to avoid trouble and we'll see what else you can do."

the dynamic of demigods thinking which other demigod is the most powerful is always amusing to me because. like, we know the big 3 kids are all the most powerful. That's just a fact of their universe. And then we know nearly every character views Percy as the strongest demigod, and most people are very rightfully intimidated by him.
and you look at the powers of the Big 3 kids and there's Percy, but then you realize Nico is just kind of objectively more powerful than him but simply chooses to hang out in Percy's shadow like he's Percy's scary dog privileges. Like, the two of them are pretty equally capable of causing multiple different apocalypses. Nico just also has like four different instakill powers and it's not like he doesn't use them. He very much uses them! Not infrequently, even! And they don't seem to take a significant amount of energy from him! And other demigods are pretty intimidated by both of them! But Nico makes a conscious point to keep his cards close to his chest and not let on exactly how dangerous and scary he can be if he wants to. People are already scared enough of him without knowing anything about him and he doesn't like that. Percy doesn't think about that nearly as much, and so usually just goes in guns blazing and that's part of why he's considered a wildcard. And then Nico himself puts Percy on a pedestal, so those who do know more about Nico's abilities then presume Nico knows something they don't about Percy that implies Percy is even stronger than him.
And even on a meta level Nico's narrative role requires him to be functionally more powerful than Percy, because he very often serves the purpose of getting Percy out of situations he can't handle on his own. That's just part of his function as a character! But also narratively he can't overshadow Percy so he just takes a backseat of his own accord and that's very amusing to me.

every time I read about this Disney vs DeSantis thing and the bit about how the agreement doesn't end “until 21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles III, king of England" all I can think about is some bumbling caper where the Florida government repeatedly tries to assassinate the entire royal family just to spite Disney

i love homelander so much. i love that when his master plan to conquer the government fell through, he didn't go on a murderous rampage. he sat on the floor in front of his broken tv in his trashed penthouse and cried
i'm sorry but i've never seen anything more lovably pathetic in my life. he's so sad. he needs a cuddle.

fav part of gideon the ninth is for the first pre-canaan house chunk of the book, she's all "ugh I'm so normal surrounded by all these weirdo goth freaks when I blow this popsicle stand everyone will see how cool and normal and charming I am" and then she gets to canaan house and realizes that while she might have been a normie jock in the ninth house she is not exempt from being a goth weirdo who hides important doors behind tapestries and sneaks around in the dark so she doesn't have to talk to people. like we talk about her being a jock forced to be goth but nature v nurture babey she's not shedding that bone freak skin anytime soon

Okay, hear me out
Imagine with me. Batman, pedaling as fast as he physically can, on this children's bike, chasing a rogue. It was the only option he had, and he knows he'll be made fun of later by his kids, but he has a mission at the moment, so he can't be bothered to care
And then passing him is Nightwing riding a segway (Nightwing themed, of course), Red Hood wearing heelies, Red Robin on his normal motorbike, and then Damian on a little classic child tricycle.
As it turns out, someone (Alfred) had hidden all the normal vehicles for a prank war, left only Red Robin's motorbike to frame him (because who would suspect Alfred??), and was currently receiving pictures from Barbara to add to a photo album.
Alfred knows he's safe from retaliation, even when they figure out who did it.

the thing about living in a tourist destination with public transportation is that sometimes you see people sprinting to catch the train. and if these people have a "teehee this is a fun adventure" expression, they are tourists accomplishing a tourist goal of Having a New Experience and if these people have a "if I don't catch this train I'm going to keep running right off this platform and onto the tracks" expression that is a local on their way home from work and they are not joking.

Shockingly underrated thing about Leo is that he’s legitimately charming when he wants to be?
He’s the Faceman! He’s persuasive! That’s not just some random title he gave himself with no backing to it. People will listen to him. Even if they think he’s being annoying or if they’re upset at him, people listen to him anyway! There’s a reason his bros push him out front to talk to people, and when this happens, that talking nearly always works.
Moreover, Leo knows people. He looks at them and takes into account how they act and what they’re like as he makes his way through the conversations. It’s easy to forget this aspect of Leo’s character because he only brings it out when he really needs (read: wants) to, but it really is a notable part of him that always love to see.
And I say charm in particular because he has a knack for not only getting people to pay attention, but for getting people to stay and listen to what he has to say.
