the mom/dadification of Dick really starts to be detrimental when people say things like "[insert parental figure] should've done more to properly reprimand/comfort [insert whump blorbo here]" Especially when it comes to the 2009 era with Tim's whole deal - its always "why didn't Dick 'parent' Damian better and do something for Tim???" and never actually analyzing why that whole idea is wrong. Dick isn't Tim's father and Dick isn't Damian's father. He's Tim's older brother first and foremost. Why does whenever Bruce die or do something shitty suddenly everyone shoves Dick into the Fatherhood role? He has responsibility as the adult in simple terms, yes, but at the time of Bruce's death in the 2009 Reborn era he was not Damian's family.
He was watching Damian because Damian at the time was an obstacle, like running around having to carry a bomb and watch it so it doesn't explode. He wasn't taking care of Damian because he cared about the kid (at first) and he told Tim that much before Tim decided to leave. He explicitly told Tim that he trusted him as an equal partner, not another kid he needed to watch out for. And whether that sentiment is wrong or not is your opinion, but theres something to said about Dick's own struggles with independence and how he was probably trying to give Tim a chance of independence that wouldn't end as badly as Dick and Bruce's schism did. It backfired in a sense, and honestly I feel regardless of whether Tim stayed as Robin or not things would still have ended shitty because they were both grieving and Tim is a teenager becoming an adult and they were not agreeing on the Bruce thing. (Even if Tim was never shown on panel telling Dick his actual ideas for Bruce being alive before he left).
Whatever idk. I just feel people forget Dick has his own serious issues and absolutely none of the Batman characters would be adept at therapy speak or actively acknowledging their own problems. Dick has his own shit to deal with, just as Tim has his own issues and Damian has issues. There's never going to be a correct solution to the very human conflict going on. You can't "I'm a good parent/sibling" your way out of it. Dick suddenly gaining self-sentience and deciding to punish Damian like a dad would change nothing. Honestly it'd make things worse, Damian has never responded well to parenting and I don't get why people think getting yelled at or put in baby jail would fix his deep-seated issues with the concept of mom/dad. Damian getting punished wouldn't fix anything. Tim staying Robin wouldn't fix anything because he was already set on leaving to search for clues on his theory.
#people: dick should've yelled at him or taken a privilege away or literally have shoved him in jail or something#me: ok but Damian has never once been a kid who'd listen to an adult if they did any of those things he'd probably just lash out more#people: who cares about Damian??? what about poor Tim? (who was already going to drift apart from the family regardless)#(who was clearly being set up on a teenage discovery/maturation journey already)#damian wayne#dick grayson#tim drake#dc

#carmilla#carmillaseries#carmilla series#just saw someone talk about 'growing up with the show' and now I need to know because I genuinely thought 99% of us were uni students#I was 21#this is also making me realize how many of the people I met through the fandom are just. not in my life anymore#not usually for any dramatic reason! we just drifted apart#but I swear most of them were in their early 20s too. there were some even older fanartists who were really big in the fandom#the artist who did the How Is Laura comic comes to mind

thinking about them again,,
(this post by @weapon-up-wallflower had me thinking about rodimus' apology towards drift in dying of the light again, and,,, yea. not Fully related to the original post but it got me thinking)
ive always thought drift accepting the apology was one last form of appeasement towards rodimus- or at least less of a genuine acceptance and more of a, "we're probably going to die soon, do i really want rodimus to die thinking i hate him?"
but then they both lived 🤷♂️ and it was just easier for drift to fall back into his old role than try to change things. surely this will not cause a build up of resentment in the long run. surely.
#transformers#transformers art#tf art#transformers fanart#my art#tf fanart#maccadams#maccadam#more than meets the eye#mtmte#lost light#tf lost light#idw transformers#transformers idw#transformers idw1#idw1#tf idw1#idw tf#rodimus prime#rodimus#idw rodimus#mtmte rodimus#drift | deadlock#drift#idw drift#tf drift#IDEALLY this state of “going back to normal” is brief. they can both tell that its not the same as it was before and that their dyanmic#has shifted drastically. they themselves are different people. they spent YEARS apart from each other! and they can only#play pretend for so long. its messy and awful and a lot of anger and guilt. i have a fic somewhere in my drafts about it but... alas#cant figure out how to word it right.

from what i’m clocking from spoilers and recent posts i’d like to just say i’m all for some drama but quite frankly angst stresses me tf out sometimes (especially when it’s two characters i’ve grown to deeply love and want to see happy))
i bet dorian’s speech was absolutely amazing, deepens his character, raises more questions(at least in the group towards dorian), and fleshes out his morals,, but i cannot shake the fact liam/orym looked like crying during it. i mean, it’s only natural sure because orym is in love with dorian and wants to see dorian succeed and be the best version of himself that he could possibly be… but do i think this will make orym fall out of love? i don’t know. and it’s scary. though part of me still has that delusion in thinking that both robbie and liam know what they’re doing and are doing this on purpose so in that case, this mishap WONT cause our boys to fall out of love but i’m so torn. this hurts. dorym has been the biggest slow burn i’ve been following for years. years. i will not be okay for months if they don’t end things on good terms (whether that’s continuing to be pining friends or actually getting together))) at this point i’ll take the yearning friends situation over them failing to communicate and leave each other both sad
what i’m hoping for is that next episode(s) they ACTUALLY talk. one on one, heart to heart. this is literally the perfect setup for liam to swoop in with his skills and get that angsty conversation he’s been edging. orym is misunderstanding dorian, dorian still hasn’t told anyone about his brother getting murdered by the SPIDER QUEEN which is WHY HE DOESNT LIKE THE GODS. they need to talk. they have to. otherwise shit will keep drifting them apart and i know that both dorian and orym do not want that at all. they are in love with each other, and don’t know how to act on it or what to do about it. there is so much going on, so much that is left unsaid and it’s hurting their relationship and it’s KILLING ME. i would say it’s like in exu, that time when they head butted about the crown,,, though now it’s not so simple anymore. they just need to talk about stuff. maybe then orym will fully understand why dorian is so cross with gods… and then in turn dorian can understand why orym is anxious about the way he’s been acting.
looks like a love confession will be an even longer wait…. sigh. we got so much fluff just for it to go south again- my heart is physically breaking on the inside. i cant even remember if this is what it felt like with vaxleth back in the day. this seems a lot worse rn imo ……
i’m still very dorym strong. i believe they can work through this. dorian and orym are being played by super talented actors anyway.
#critical role#dorian storm#dorym#orym of the air ashari#bells hells#c3#campaign 3#cr spoilers#dorian x orym#critical role spoilers#c3e107#can u tell i’m really shaken up by this#i have a lot of feelings bottled up about them#let me cry and yell a little bit#i need some other people to have hope with me#because all this talk about them drifting apart#is really rocking me up#shaking crying vomiting

i know that aveline's condolences scene is supposed to be about understanding of other's grief but oh boy does it feel completely utterly wrong when you remember how she has treated the white lillies killer situation at the beginning of act 2 and how she just. never mentiones it if hawke doesn't call her out. and if they do her only response is "well people always blame the guard".
i believe she's genuine when she tries to comfort hawke by relating to their pain and telling about her father and how he died and how she'll miss leandra too but. the thing is. she knew about these murders as the captain of the guard and even asked hawke to help her with this. by shutting the guy who tried to investigate it up. because he talked nonsense. or did he.
hawke feels like shit and is consumed by guilt because they couldn't save their mother but aveline kinda should share the sentiment. there was a serial killer in the city and she did absolutely nothing to stop him and gave up on investigation because all of it seemed random and therefore couldn't be solved. it was literally her job but she decided not to act on it. consciously. so people died and if that wasn't enough, her friend's mother died, horribly too. is there really nothing to be said besides "well my father died too you know. it's okay to grieve. take your time" or "well the guard can't save everyone. blame the killer not me"
#oh boy act 2 aveline. so many fuck ups. so little self-recognition of it#i think it's also really interesting that she's a good captain of the guard. to the guards. not the people they are supposed to protect#anyway. that's a topic for another time#for my hawke it was the moment they started drifting apart#i actually love that moment as the part of characterisation. it's not the lack of recognition by the writers#it's the lack of recognition by aveline herself. you can blame her. she'll make clear what she thinks about it#chewing on the drama. it makes me feel things! unpleasant things but anyway!#hawke#leandra hawke#aveline critical#aveline vallen critical#dragon age#dragon age 2

Zack gets with Cloud this Zack gets with Kunsel that what about Kunsel getting with Cloud. What about that. (Ignoring the ever beautiful Kunzakkura right there, this ain't about them.)
I'm imagining two unfamiliar cats on opposite sides of the house.
Kunsel: yeah y'know what, i could fix him. Cloud, puffed up and hissing: NO
#*turns on a laser pointer* c'mere boy!#ahem. post canon? i think it would be one night stand.#two people still grieving one person who they both loved more than life itself. trying to find comfort in one another#but it accidentally causes them to drift further apart.#ffvii#cloud strife#kunsel#asks

Will we ever meet Bobby JR in Person?
Because I have no Idea how to draw him since I don't know how tall he is or how old he is.
Like is he a 5 or 6 Year Old Kid?
Is he born just a Regular Child or born a Prodigy?
And will he like Bear Toons? Since he Love anything related to Bears?
Like he will go crazy that any Products like Food and Toys including Clothing that has a Bear on it.
I can't properly answer any of these, since I'm not apart of the team or anything, so everything I say after this is purely speculation and/or just random thoughts. I assume that, even if Bobby Jr is not added physically into the game, he'll be mentioned plenty of times (especially around April Toons with Thomas's dialogues). Especially if Crystalline is added to the game, since it's been established that the entire Cyger family has some issues going on. As for height, you can kind of estimate his height based on this photocard of him and the Chairman. He's shorter than the Chairman (who has an ingame model that can be compared to other managers). I assume he's at most half of Chairmans height. Do NOT leave him outside with a giant hawk. He's very obviously a child, I always imagine an age that's somewhere in the early-middle of elementary school, like maybe 7 or 8? Truthfully I only assign age ranges to characters, not specific numbers, makes it easier. Either way, I can't see him being in middle school yet.
I think the idea of him seeing a bear toon and getting really excited would be kind of funny. He ends up having to be dragged away by Robert.
#clemask#clemspaint#i do think the idea of stuffed animal bears existing in tt is a really funny idea#i dont think its meant to be looked into that much because stuffed bears are incredibly common#but with the knowledge that bear toons exist. its kind of like having plushies of random people in my opinion#again. not meant to be looked into like that i think but its really really funny#idk i dont have strong opinions on a lot of characters so im sorry if this is kind of an unsatisfying answer#i like basically all of the characters but theres like a handful that i get really excited about and those are the ones i usually have more#ideas/hcs for.#bobby jr is fun though. i think the entire cyger family drama is super interesting#i really like how the more invested robert is to the corporation- the more his family is seemingly drifting apart#thats an entire yap session about how I believe the corporation affects both toons and cogs . and how clash portrays it#but that can be saved for another time.#I do like how the business talk also ends up affecting Bobby Jr#His distancing from Thomas. The “its an investment” comment. you all get what i mean#these tags are probably a bit all over the place sorry. its like theyre all connected to one big point in my mind but the point requires a#yap session to clearly get across what i mean. so now im trying to hit some of the bulletpoints without actually addressing the main idea

Honestly the Ghosts finale was perfect and so well done, just the right amount of closure and finality. It wasn't 'and they never saw each other again' or 'nothing ever changed' and I loved it.
#sad in a good way#people drifts apart is natural and so is seeing each other again and being parts of each others life but in different ways#bbc ghosts#ghosts#.my posts#ghosts spoilers#bbc ghosts spoilers

The Real Ghostbusters’ future analysis
Do you guys ever think about how tragic the real ghostbusters’ lives went on to be after they dismantled the group. Cuz I do, maybe even more than necessary, and I’ll go over EACH of them in this post.
Ray
At first he worked in uni, which is okay, but ended up being fired and had to settle for selling old cars while grasping every opportunity to pay off his debt. Ray, the guy who is the most ‘in love with his job’ as stated countless times in the show, is SELLING CARS.
In the “Look Homeward, Ray” episode we see a similar situation with him quitting ghostbusting to work in retail and he was MISERABLE because he is obsessed with his work, I’d even went on to say it’s his hyperfixation with how he forgets about everything at times, including time and other tasks he has (from one ADHD guy to another). And that man is selling old cars. Jesus.
Peter
He went on to Hollywood to sell the idea for the second Ghostbusters movie and has been doing that for SIX YEARS. Six years he was out in LA trying to push it through. To do that you need connections, and I’d imagine that making them is not easy, not even talking about how you need money to survive, and since he never said anything about his job, it is probably like super lame. Again, he LOVED ghostbusting and didn’t want to trade it even for a life of stage and fame (“Banshee Bake a Cherry Pie?”).
In “Take Two” episode we saw that he does not get along with Hollywood people, he has too strong of a moral compass and principles, so I can only imagine how those six years where he NEEDED to interact with them constantly went.
And finally, his father. He has a difficult relationship with him, but it’s easy to see that while he still cares for him, he hates how Jim makes money and would rather die then help him in his ‘projects’. Well guess what. His dad also went on to Hollywood to sell a movie about Ghostbusters. A movie no one clearly wanted, similarly to Peter’s (cuz I believe if his idea was a banger he wouldn’t have spent 6 years pushing it through), so at the end of the day he became like his dad, which is absolutely the worst nightmare of every person with bad parents.
Winston
I would say that Winston is relatively better off than others. He got his pilot’s license and went on to travel, which is cool as hell. However, Winston was the glue of the group. He was always the one saying “we’re a team, we need to stick together no matter what”, which can be seen in maaany eps, the most prominent one is probably “Ghostbuster of The Year”.
And he needed to watch them all drift apart, unable to do anything, and going non-contact because in “Back in The Saddle” they were catching up as if they never talked since they parted ways. That’s wild.
Egon
Last but not least 💪 technically you could say that he doesn’t have it that bad. He still lives in the firehouse, he works as a prof of his own course, right? WRONG ‼️
In the comics that are arguably canon, but logically still make sense, Egon get transported into an empty dimension where everything is normal, except he’s all alone. And this is what he thinks of that.
Bro hates being alone. He needs his friends around even if he doesn’t usually show it. This was his nightmare situation and he lived to experience it in real life. For six years.
When it comes to teaching, cool, but he’s a scientist, not a professor. He was excited and interested in experimenting and discovering, not teaching. Additionally, no one takes his course seriously, he has an average of 3 student per semester, and even they are only there for an easy A. That is depressing.
His life does get better after he creates Extreme Ghostbusters: he’s no longer alone, he’s (kinda) doing what he used to, but even then he still struggles with his self-image and midlife crisis, poor guy :(
Overall
These guys are the epitome of ‘frequently bought together, do not separate’, they cannot be without each other.
In “Look Homeward, Ray” Ray leaves the group thinking he’s not good enough and they do EVERYTHING in their power to bring him back.
In “Cry Uncle” Egon’s uncle Cyrus (god I hate that guy) takes Egon away to help him in his lab and the whole team is at first miserable (sitting around the phone waiting for him to call) and then makes 1500 miles one way to ask him to come back.
In “Egon’s Ghost” even though it’s not the only instance, when Egon gets sucked into limbo they go in for him with a condition of ‘either we get him back in an hour or we all stay here’ like THESE GUYS ARE A FAMILY. I did not see this kind of relationship in the live action movie, but in the show? They aren’t just colleague or buddies, that’s a FAMILY.
Even the fact of separating itself is heartbreaking, and accounting for the fact that neither of them went on to do something exciting (except maybe Winston) it is absolutely devastating. Man.
Even in “Back In The Saddle” they get one (1) successful bust and go ‘hell yeah guys, let’s go back to being Ghostbusters, I think we dropped it off way too early’ like yeah, I’m sure that’s what people with their lives together would say.
TLDR: the old men yaoi angst in the real ghostbusters is real 🎉
#the real ghostbusters#ghostbusters#ray stantz#peter venkman#winston zeddemore#egon spengler#I know that in extreme ghostbusters they aren’t actively depressed but like come on#it’s a kids show about busting ghosts ofc they won’t focus on the topic of grief and drifting apart#realistically though there’s no way these guys were just FINE with separating#again every time in the show it happened they were MISERABLE#I just cannot stop thinking about it all#imagine meeting the people you considered family after 6 years of no contact and realising you don’t know them anymore#new habits#new looks#new routines#bro egon is stronger than me if someone invited my old friends to my birthday id kms#also 6 years comes from trg ending in 1991 and eg coming out in 1997#and mostly air date is the same as date in canon

I love reading your kagehina posts!! Sometimes I see stuff like they aren't even friends 😭 and probably drifted apart and partner in sports is different from actual friendship lmao
Thank you!
dfghhjkl yeah i've seen those claims and I firmly believe that anyone who's saying any of that needs to take reading comprehension 101. I've talked about this claim a little bit here but to reiterate, kageyama and hinata's bond- their unique connection, the meaningfulness of it, the way that they support and teach and learn from each other- is one of the core aspects of the series. Like, there were so many instances of people commenting about how special their relationship was that I made a list. This post here I think are also relevant to addressing this. (if you couldn't tell, i talk about this a lot lol. But I don't mind talking about it some more)
Point is, they mean a lot to each other. And yes, haikyuu does make a point of showing how volleyball isn't always a 1 v 1 comparison to irl and how volleyball doesn't have to mean everything to be meaningful but at the same time, that's inapplicable to hinata and kageyama because the other side of that coin is that sometimes, volleyball is everything. It could not possibly be more in your face that Kageyama and Hinata formed an instantaneous connection and became a duo to be feared like overnight because they recognized that the other person is exactly like them- someone who will give everything for volleyball, who will never give up, a person who complements them. and understands them. Kageyama's little backstory moment that changed everything (and fucked me up permanently) is that he's been waiting for (someone like) Hinata his entire life. So what if they're not be hanging out 24/7 outside of volleyball? (which they do hang out outside of matches btw later on in life, kageyama asked hinata to play beach vb with kunimi and kindaichi) They already have a mutual understanding about the importance of volleyball in their lives. Also like, even in the last chapter/panel of haikyuu literally just reiterates that for the two of them, volleyball and each other and intrinsically intertwined elements and that they intend on revolving around each other as partner/rivals for the rest of their lives.
If we're looking only at the anime, that list i linked above is entirely taken from season. Like, the the sheer weight of kageyama "i can spike, toss, etc by myself" tobio saying the words "as long as you're with me, you're invincible" like 1-2 episodes later?? This bullshit where kageyama extracts a promise from hinata to follow him to the top of the world still happens in the anime too. That bit in the first Seijoh match where Kageyama says that Oikawa's going to set to Iwaizumi, not because it's the most logical move but because he trusts him so innately that it's the most natural move to make and then going on to make the exact same set to Hinata in the same match?? The extra animated linger on Kageyama and Hinata's fingers touching as they stop the Miya's quick? Oikawa and Atsumu both saying that Kageyama's "wrapped around Hinata's finger"?
Like come on now, does this look like two people who are going to drift apart? Be for real. They're too obsessed with each other to do that.
#asks#haikyu#brotp: someone even better#i looked through my blog for this and realized that i talk about hq a lot#i didn't even get to the post i was looking for because i got too annoyed by how long it was taking#kagehina#haikyuu!!#anyways morons that think these two idiots are going to drift apart are a whole different species that i don't understand#like even if you're too dumb to figure out hq's themes like#when have they ever acted anything less than totally obsessed with each other#vol 1 /season 1 literally hits you over the head like its soo painfully obvious that they're fated soulmates or whatever#even without like kageyama taking literal offense to people not being enchanted by hinata or how his best move favorite move the one time h#s not flawless his most readable move is#that in a pinch he sets to hinata#and its a set that transcends faith#or trust#anyway i love getting asks i def love getting hq asks#thank you anon!#oh extra little addition: during their promise when kageyama asks will you stand on the same stage as me in the future#because he wants hinata at his side!!#for the longrun!!#they make me want to chew concrete

I used to host a lot of parties ‐ house parties, cocktail parties, dinner parties, you name it. This was back when I lived in [insert small city in the intermountain west] and had recently graduated from college, so the two distinct social circles me and my partner came from did have a little overlap, but weren't by any means the same, which means the different parties were for different people and had EXTREMELY different purposes. The most popular ones, which I held annually for like five years and actually had people tell me they looked forward to, were my themed Halloween parties and their platonic opposite, my Dec 24th cocktail parties. Cocktail parties were easily my favorite to host, but that one was always special. (Fun fact, in some social groups if you manage to host like one single good cocktail party with the right people in attendance, you will always get invited to any cocktail parties hosted by anyone in that circle always and forevermore.) anyway, I mention this because I haven't hosted any parties since moving away five years ago because I haven't made enough (cough cough any) friends to do so and all this talk of Arrival Time Etiquette is making me kinda sad about it lol
#☕️🥧#it is interesting though because if youre the one hosting a lot of parties you wont realize it but you become kind of a pillar of the#community you're usually involving in the parties and then when you move away those social circles will sorta dissolve#like the strong relationships formed will stay but the space for people to mingle is gone#which also makes me sad bc apparently thats what happened when my partner and i moved. a lot of people drifted apart#(for the younger group i mean. not the specific circle i was referencing wrt other people hosting cocktail parties)#for the record the cocktail parties i usually hosted were NOT inviting fancy people they were for my fellow poor queers who#wanted to FEEL fancy for an evening. the friends who would help me shoplift expensive dried figs for those parties lol#ok anyway thats all bye

my whole life i've been the least liked person in any friend group of 3 people. why does this keep happening to me
#even rn with my old uni friend group i just know the other 2 friends talk way more#because then we meet up and i have no idea what they're talking about#because it's something that they only told each other and not in the groupchat#most of the time they only talk about health or work tho so i'm not missing out on much#not even exaggerating. last time we met up irl they kept talking about people from their work for the entire meeting#and it's so terribly boring to me. you used to watch movies and listen to music and do things back at uni. what happened to that#i feel like we're drifting apart even if they insist that we're the same friends we used to be a couple of years ago

Because of chatting with my cousin last night my mind is running away with itself imagining us meeting up again and our very close in age kids growing up together as cousins and how cute it would be and us all having like board game nights and family holidays and maybe we just buy a huge house and all move in together and-
#okay not quite lol#but the first two yes#when i lost my main group of friends last year i lost the bulk of that experience of being around#people that youve known for a long time#i do have one friend who ive known literally half my life but i dont get to see them as often as id like#and ive made a couple of really lovely friends the last few years but its different to being#around people that you essentially grew up with#and i miss that a lot#my cousin and i were close as kids#very close as teenagers#and then we fell out a couple of times and drifted apart#but id really like to drift back together lol#anyways
