#Richard the cockroach is back

[mellosdrawings]

Who’s the bug killer for Jamil? Vil or Leona?🤔

Vil wouldn't touch a bug, who do you think he is? But he would blast it if it was only him and Jamil.

Leona though would catch bugs without issues. He's got incredible reflexes and, if he's anything like a cat, he would get those flying little critters just for the fun of it haha

pls we need more father-daughter moments with bruce because almost all of the yandere batfam fics i’ve read in tumblr always focuses on the bros 😭😭

Platonic Yandere!Bruce Wayne

Summary: Your father protects you from your brothers.

CW: mention of bugs

(not edited or proofread)

Rapid footsteps echoed through the manor. The quiet treading belonged to you and the more audible stomps were from your brother, Dick. Your panting was not missed by the individual chasing you. It was clear that you were getting worn out.

Currently, you were attempting to avoid getting hugged by Dick, who, being as touchy as he is, did not appreciate you steering clear of his squeeze. He had hugged all of his siblings and none of them were as resilient as you, so why did you have to avoid him like this?

You darted past all possible hiding places, since you were sure it would only be a matter of time until he found you, instead opting to run. Your knees bent slightly as you were rounding the corner, in order to be able to push yourself forward with a little more power.

What you couldn't have expected, was that you would run directly into your father's chest. The sudden blockage caused you to stop and look up at him, before remembering that you were on the run. Your head turned and you saw Dick getting closer to you. Out of panic, you hid behind Bruce, who raised a brow at your eldest brother.

Dick came to a halt directly in front of Bruce, who had crossed his arms by now.

"Richard, would you explain the situation to me? I don't quite understand why your sibling is running from you", he said, not mentioning the fact that your nails were digging into his back.

"They've been running from me every time I try to even touch them. I don't want them to distance themselves, they need to be involved more", said Richard, distressed by your sidestepping.

Bruce hummed in thought. "I'll talk to them", his tone signaling that Richard should leave.

Dick huffed before stomping away.

Your father finally turned to you and waited for your explanation.

A sigh escaped your lips and you dropped your head, "Sorry, I just...felt overwhelmed. I'm not really fond of physical contact, but I'll work on it, I promise." You did slightly cringe at your own words, but by now you had learned that complying with their wishes was much more rewarding than disobeying them.

You kept your head low, waiting for his acknowledgement, when a hand landed on your head. You looked up at him, eyebrow raised in confusion, but he just looked at you. He gave your head two light pats before smiling and walking away.

Looking around, you remembered that you had escaped Richard without giving in to his affection.

A radiant smile lit up your face as you scurried off to your room.

~~~~~

"Oh come on! It won't hurt you, will it?", shouted your brother, Jason, as he chased you through the manor, cockroach in hand, ready to be shoved in your face.

He had found it in his helmet and you immediately expressed your repulsion and highlighted the fact that he must be very filthy.

Jason, offended by this comment, decided to make you filthy too, by rubbing a bug on your nose, or at least attempting to. You bolted out of his room at a speed that would put The Flash to shame, but he caught up with you and promised that he wouldn't leave you alone as long as you were clean.

You barely paid attention to your surroundings as you ran through the halls and turned every nearing corner, yet you somehow ended up in the kitchen, where your father was currently conversing with Alfred.

"DAD HELP!", was all you needed to say to have Bruce step between you and Jason, taking on a protective stance.

Jason saw this and stopped, not even having entered the kitchen yet.

Both of them stared at each other silently before Jason turned around and left, presumably deciding that he had better things to do than getting scolded by Bruce.

He muttered a few curse words under his breath and for a moment you feared that you would wake up to him at the foot of your bed, holding a handful of bugs.

"Why was he chasing you?", your father's question brought you back to the situation at hand. "Uh..", you weren't sure how to phrase this without making Jason seem nefarious, "He wanted to show me a bug, but I didn't want to see it, so I ran!"

Bruce inhaled, as if he was about to talk, but you beat him to it, "But! You saved me, thank you!" You hugged him and smiled innocently, praying he stops asking questions.

It seems that he noticed your reluctance to elaborate, so he left it at that and you disappeared within seconds.

This wasn't the first time your father had saved you from your brothers and it most certainly won't be the last.

It was kind of funny how you always seemed to run into him when you were in trouble.

Perhaps it was fate guiding you to your saviour.

It matters not.

All that mattered was that you were thankful for your father's help and understanding, even if his timing was suspiciously accurate.

The 100 knew how to do a redemption arc.

Throughout its seven-season run on The CW, post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama repeatedly doubled down on one of its many thought-provoking mantras: there are no good guys. The “good guys” often did terrible things in the name of survival, and the “bad guys” were rarely through-and-through evil (although they could be “cockroaches”).

Timed to the recent 10-year anniversary of the series premiere, we chatted with Richard Harmon, Lindsey Morgan, and Henry Ian Cusick about how they came to join the show, the extent to which Harmon and Cusick saw their characters as villains during the first season, and why they think The 100 has stuck around in the sci-fi genre.

Murphy wasn’t originally Murphy: he was “John #1,” and he wasn’t meant to live past the show’s second episode. Harmon recalled the process of first auditioning for the show: “I originally auditioned for the role of Bellamy, beautifully played by Bob Morley,” he said. “I remember auditioning for that and thinking, ‘There’s no way in hell I’m ever going to get this role.’ Lo and behold, I did not.” Weeks later, he got an audition for the roles of “John #1” and “John #2,” and after feeling confident that he’d booked it, he learned that he had. He was John #1.

Harmon said that despite his character’s predetermined Episode 2 death, he approached the first episode determined to do something different and have fun with the role. Thankfully, showrunner Jason Rothenberg was watching. “I guess he noticed that, liked what I was doing, and expanded the role in some rewrites during the shooting of the Pilot,” Harmon said, adding that half of what Murphy said in the aired Pilot wasn’t there in the original script. “When it got picked up to series, he emailed me personally—which was kind of a shocking thing as not a lead, to get an email from the creator of the show. He said, ‘I really liked what you did, how would you feel about not dying in the second episode? Could you stick around for the whole first season? Your last name will be Murphy, people will call you Murphy, and what do you think?’” And so went the story of how he booked “John #1”… and how “John #1” became John Murphy.

Katie Yu/The CW

First appearing in the show’s second episode rather than in the Pilot, Morgan wound up on The 100 through a whirlwind of correct timing and fate. She’d been waiting to hear whether she’d booked a role on Chicago P.D. when she auditioned for the part of Raven on Tuesday, chemistry-read with Thomas McDonnell [played Finn Collins] on Thursday, and was on a plane headed to Vancouver by Sunday. She later found out she wouldn’t have gotten the Chicago P.D. role. “It’s crazy to look back and imagine it happening any other way,” she said.

Similarly to Harmon’s “John #1,” Morgan’s Raven wasn’t meant to be a The 100 mainstay. Originally, Morgan said, Raven was meant to die after just five episodes—a shock, when one considers how integral the quick-thinking mechanic and tech genius became to the plot of the show. “I was on pins and needles, waiting to receive my death notice with each passing script,” Morgan said. After the Season 1 finale, Rothenberg made the offer to Morgan to stick around for Season 2. She’d been up for a role on a different show at that time. If she’d gotten it, Raven would’ve died from the gunshot wound dealt her by Murphy. Obviously, Raven survived. “The rest was history,” Morgan said. “As we all know, nothing can kill Raven Reyes.”

The CW

For his part, Cusick mentioned that it was a sense of longing for Lost that led him to The 100. “It was Pilot season, and I had just finished something, and I was reading a bunch of Pilots,” he remembered. “The 100 turned up, and I thought it was very similar in tone to Lost, which I was missing. I read that and I said to my agent, ‘That’s a cool Pilot.’ I ended up having a meeting with [showrunner] Jason Rothenberg, and we had a chat, and he offered it to me.”

While he did almost float Clarke’s mother, Dr. Abby Griffin (Paige Turco}, in the Pilot, Cusick disagrees with the label of Kane as a villain and passionately defends him. Even in the show’s early days, he says he just viewed Kane as “more of a d**k.” Cusick recounts several things his character was accused of doing but never actually did—such as attempting to kill Jaha (Isaiah Washington)—and maintains that rather than being villainous, Kane was simply a stickler for the rules. “Other people were talking about him and badmouthing him, but he was just a man who was trying to save the human race,” Cusick said. “He went about it in a rather authoritarian, draconian way. He was very strict. And then when he arrived on Earth, he went ‘Oh, humanity is still around.’ Then he could go back to being who he really was. That’s my opinion.”

Whether viewers considered him a villain or a d**k, Kane undoubtedly softened up. His kindness and diplomacy helped establish peace with the grounders as he formed a friendship with Indra (Adina Porter), he and Abby fell in love, and he gradually became a father figure to the delinquents—especially Bellamy Blake (Bob Morley). “I really took to Bob quite quickly,” Cusick remembered. “We would joke around a lot. I would call him my ‘idiot son’ and stuff like that,” he said with a laugh. “We kind of cultivated that relationship, I thought, that we were like father and son. We enjoyed each other’s company, so that was easy to play.”

The CW

Harmon, on the other hand, readily admitted he played Murphy as a villain in Season 1—so much so that he’d taken inspiration for Murphy and Bellamy’s relationship from Biblical literature. “I based [Murphy] loosely off of Lucifer, actually,” he said. “Bellamy was God, for this group, and I’m his right-hand favorite angel, but demon, really. Eventually I try to take too much power, just like Lucifer does in the Bible, and God smites me down. That’s when I get thrown out to the grounders in the wild and come back way later, with the sickness.”

When the show was picked up for a second season, Harmon and Rothenberg had another chat. “At the end of Season 1, Jason said, ‘Will you stick around for the long haul now going forward to Season 2?’” Harmon said. “And I was like, ‘Of course, I would love to, but how are you going to do that?’” Rothenberg, Harmon remembered, wanted him to get the audience on Murphy’s side. Harmon was up for the challenge, as long as he was given material to convince the audience that there was a good reason behind Murphy’s notable not-niceness. “Eventually, as the seasons progressed and the fans responded favorably to Murphy, all of my cuts were a good angle, and I was a little more tanned with dirt, and I was like, ‘I think they’re trying to, maybe, make me hot,” Harmon laughed. “I don’t think at that point in my career anyone had ever tried to make me attractive on-screen before. That was nice. That felt good.”

Raven Reyes was about as far from a villain as one could get, even though she, like every character, had to make incredibly difficult choices. Morgan has fond memories especially of Season 2, and portraying Raven’s journey with losing the use of her leg. “As an able-bodied actor, I felt a deep responsibility and honor towards playing a character with disabilities as accurately as I could,” she said. “I wanted to bring justice, nuance, complexity, and the best accuracy to her journey as I could, and hopefully share and showcase her truth, as well as the strength people with disabilities exhibit daily.”

Morgan, too, has fond memories of filming in the Vancouver wilderness. While filming with Cusick and the “adult” cast on the Ark put her inside in the warm studio (and closer to the snacks), she enjoyed being outside in the forest… and sneaking in an on-set nap when an opportunity presented itself. “I can, and will, nap anywhere,” she recalled. “Thomas [McDonnell] almost stepped on my head once, because I was napping on the floor of our cast tent. I blended into the ground.”

The CW

Aside from his bond with Bellamy Blake, Kane’s other major connection on The 100 was his romance with Dr. Abby Griffin. Surprisingly, Cusick hadn’t known the writers intended to take the characters in that direction. “I remember Paige [Turco] saying to me, ‘I think they’re trying to get us together,’ and I was thinking, ‘No, that’s never going to happen. We need to be combative. That’s where the drama is,’” he said. In the end, Kane and Abby had a heartwarming love that lasted several seasons. Cusick thinks that not being told from the start about the romance angle only improved his performance. “The actors had no clue that was going to happen, so we were just playing our motivations, and our roles, and what we thought was right,” he said. “There was no hint of any flirtation or anything like that between the characters, so that’s when it happened. Maybe the audience saw it, I don’t know, but it was certainly a surprise to me.”

Unfortunately, Kane and Abby didn’t have the happy ending that many might’ve hoped for. Cusick departed the show in its sixth season, and Turco’s character was killed off in the Season 6 finale. While The 100 fans know all about heartbreak, it might add an extra layer of sadness to know that originally, Kane and Abby had been intended to have a more hopeful story. “My relationship with Abby was good, and people wanted us to get together,” Cusick reflected. “I think that would’ve happened, had I not left. I know that Jason [Rothenberg] said he wanted that to happen—he wanted us to get married, which would’ve been interesting.”

Cusick also directed the eleventh episode of Season 4, “The Other Side,” and the tenth episode of Season 5, “The Warriors Will.” When he thinks back on those experiences, he does so with appreciation for the show’s crew including director of photography Michael Blundell, and gratitude to Jason Rothenberg, director Dean White, and the cast. “Just in general, I never really got a chance to say this: I wanted to say thank you,” he said. “When I meet everyone at cons, I’m thinking about how we all went through this together. We all have relationships that are unique, because we went through that show. I’m always amazed when we meet up at cons by how fun they all are, and how nice it is to see them again.”

The CW

On the subject of conventions, Harmon mentioned that he and Morley used to take it as a badge of honor when fans would tell them that they hated Murphy and Bellamy. Twitter death threats, too, Harmon learned to take in stride. “It got a little hectic at times, for sure,” he remembered. “If people wanted to hate you so much, I’m so grateful for that. That just means we did our job well.” Harmon also mentioned that he wished he’d gotten to keep Murphy’s jacket from Season 1. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know what happened to it. Morgan, on the other hand, has held onto a few of Raven’s iconic items—including her trademark red jacket and knee brace. “I joked that I was going to make a plaster cast out of my body and display them in my house,” she said. “I definitely didn’t do that, but I have them in a safe place.”

As for The 100’s staying power, Harmon, Morgan, and Cusick all pointed out its continued interrogation of what it means to be human, especially in heightened, life-or-death situations. While the show was airing, Harmon said he called it the “biggest show you’ve never heard of.” At this point, he no longer thinks that description is true—people have heard of it.

“It was cool to be on the biggest show you’ve never heard of, because people would be like, ‘What show?’ and then all of a sudden there’d be five people who’d go, ‘The 100? Yes!’” he remembered. “People who watched it fell in love with it. Or were livid with it. Either way.”

"When I was first introduced to Ringo in Tramp, the London nightclub, I didn't see anything but his big, beautiful, deep blue eyes. He asked if my waist-length hair was my own, then tugged it to check. I replied: 'You could never buy hair like this in a store.' Somehow over that drink the conversation got around to how Ringo hates New York because it's full of cockroaches, so we clinked glasses and toasted the death of all cockroaches. I said he reminded me of Humphrey Bogart. Ringo - by this time I was calling him Richard - suavely lit two cigarettes in his mouth and gave me one. I couldn't help giggling. I thought he was doing a Bogart. Then I realised it was Paul Henreid who did that for Bette Davis in Now Voyager. As we held hands under the table, he asked if I would go to Vienna with him next day. I couldn't make up my mind. Ringo took me to a Mayfair disco and gave the doorman £100 to open up in the wee small hours so that we could dance for an hour. When Ringo toasted us with champagne he joked, 'The bubbles tickle my nose.' He has quite a large nose. It's quite adorable but his whole nose seemed to go right down into the champagne glass. Then Ringo's ex-wife Maureen happened to come up, stared, looked me up and down and joked: 'Who is this, Ringo, the next Mrs Starkey?' Ringo answered gently, 'Maybe Maureen, but be sure you'll be the first to know.' She was dismissed. He mentioned Vienna again, assuring me he wasn't in the habit of picking up girls and flying of with them."

      Stephanie made her mind up this time, collected her clothes and moved into Ringo's Dorchester Hotel suite.

      "I thought 'My God, I'm going to have to sleep with this man tonight.' I stared at the two double beds. I didn't want to sleep with him, have sex with him. I wanted to get to know him first. 'It's alright darlin,' Ringo said. 'That's your bed and the other one's mine.' I usually sleep in a football sweatshirt with knee socks but I thought, 'I can't put them on.' So I put on a nightgown..Ringo looked over the top of his newspaper and said, 'On second thoughts, darlin', that's your bed and it's my bed too -but only if you want it to be.' I said yes I want it to be that way for now. But I fell fast asleep and an hour and 15 minutes later I woke up to find Ringo standing over my bed. I honestly thought I was dreaming. He said it was time to get dressed and leave for the airport.

      "Later as we drove into Vienna from the airport, I wanted to use the bathroom. So we stopped at a little bar. Ringo insisted on coming with me and standing guard outside the ladies. Can you imagine? He has such good manners. Like the time he was in bed and found he had his back to me. He apologised and turned to face me - even though we were in the dark. Though we were already 'in like with each other,' as Ringo put it, that's where our days and nights of passion started, in that kingsize bed in the Bristol Hotel, Vienna... It suprised Ringo that I was so inexperienced, I think he was pleased I hadn't slept with many men."

The camera shows Arthur Wright’s office. Arthur is no where to be seen. But you know who is there? Lucero.

Hello ladies, gentlemen and folks! It’s headcanon time. And we have the dandy man himself, Arthur Wright.

Requested by:

Now let’s get to this dandy man

- he tried to fight Horatio. I mean, Arthur already has beef with Horatio and some of the Rochesters except for Bernadine, Rockley, Veronica, Clarrisa, Patricia and Leopold. Yeah but learning that Horatio was gonna send Bernadine to Gryphon’s Sanctuary pissed him off so bad he was ready to hit Horstio with a chair. And it was one of those really fancy looking chairs too.

- he has good spice tolerance somehow. He can somehow take the spice and is okay with it.

- Bernadine has forced him into a dress at least once, change my mind.

- He wore heels once and proceeded to fall down without even moving.

- he wears loafers. Brown loafers.

- he has come close to punching most of the Rochesters in the face. Malcolm? Had to hold back the extreme urge to punch him. Larry was the same. Let’s not get started on Archie. HORATIO? WELL HE HAD TO BE HELD BACK BY ROSE AND RICHARD AT ONE POINT OF TIME-

- Arthur’s family is like…Filthy rich- they are really rich- that’s all I can say.

- he has parent issues. His parents were more interested in making more money than spending time with him- which was bad for him to say the least.

- he’s an only child. He doesn’t have siblings-

- he has a ranking for how much he hates the Rochesters from most to least. Bernadine and others won’t be included in this list for very obvious reasons. The lost starts: Horatio, Malcolm, Larry, and Archie.

The rest that aren’t included are either okay or Arthur had no beef with them and didn’t know them so well.

- Arthur likes dogs- he has a pet dog- and it’s so funny when he brings the dog on the walk and the dog doesn’t want to go home and Arthur is just dragging a dog home with so much difficulty-

- beef with Lawson. I don’t even need to say why he just has really bad beef with Lawson. He just saw how Lawson became after becoming Mayor and went: Yeah time to add him to list of people I have beef with…AGGRESSIVE SCRIBBLING ON A LIST WITH AT LEAST 9 PEOPLE ON IT WHICH ISN’T A LOT-

- he gets pranked by Rose and Richard- he got lifted up by Rose and panicked so much- And Rose just had him in the air for like 2 hours and he just had the expression saying, “this is my life now,”

- he can play like…Three instruments, one of which he stopped playing. Those three instruments are the violin, cello and piano. He gave up on cello.

- he literally fought Malcolm once. It was a physical fight too. After he found that Malcolm was…abusive he just got out his office, went to Malcolm, and punched Malcolm in the face. Bernadine had to separate the both of them to keep Arthur from murdering Malcolm. Arthur was that angry to know Malcolm was like that, and was pretty much ready to get blood on his hands.

- he likes kids- kids like him too. As I headcanon him and Bernadine have a daughter in the future, he’s a really good dad- he takes care of the kid, gives her hugs and doesn’t neglect her. He lets her goes to work with him where when he gets free time he teachers her random things and say what he does as Chief of the flying squad. And she just tells him she wants to be Chief of the flying squad too. And he says: one day. One day.

- he’s terrified of bugs- he can’t stand them. He’s either instantly killing them or crying about them. Usually the first but he cries about them when it’s a spider or a cockroach. He saw a giant spider once and he screamed so much-

- SNAKES ARE HIS ENEMY- HE HATES SNAKES- I mean he can kind of stand them but touch them? HELL NO-

- he has learnt about what dolphins do sometimes and is forever traumatised about them.

- he gets maximum 6 hours of sleep.

Okay that’ll all for the dandy man though most of the headcanons I wrote are wildin- but I might make a part 2-

🌵 For Richard please? This may be a little on the nose, but I'm interested in the little details, that are not so obvious.

🌵How physically resilient is your OC?

The man is a cockroach.

He's got a high pain threshold, even with the pain gate removed, and above his pain threshold is a mile of deeply toxic sludge. A mix of stubborn defiance and self hatred that can push him to endure enormous amounts of physical pain and damage.

There have been times where the pain is so extreme or the damage is so high that he has to abandon his body--but only in those extreme situations. And even then, he doesn't let his mind or the new body rest. He'll get back into his own body as quickly as he can and deal with the pain when he wakes back up.

He'll push himself until he falls apart, glue and staple the bits that are falling off back together, and then push himself harder.

He can handle it. He will handle it. He doesn't have any choice not to.

As for specific injuries, he's suffered stabs, gunshots, multiple broken ribs, suicide attempts, sexual assaults, shattered vertebrae, lacerated organs, shattered pelvis, dislocated hips, punctured lungs, concussions, broken teeth, nerve and connective tissue damage, burns, and degloving injuries

[causewhywouldnti]

My thoughts as I’m watching 24 seasons of law & order svu:

Season 11

Protective Elliot in 11x01, and Benson having none of it.

11x02, Benson and Stabler enjoyed looking for the Master Baiter way too much. Stablers look of shock when his date referred to him as daddy. I’m enjoying the Stabler/Paxton interactions. The daughter is a psycho, just saying.

11x03, Stabler totally pushing the dirty work on Munch and Fin. One thing I like about Stabler, he realizes when he did something wrong and apologizes. And he gets injured again. Paxton threatening Benson not to hurt the man who injured Stabler. I really did not need the cockroach scene. But it must have been fun to act the solitary confinement scene.

11x04, still enjoying the Stabler/Paxton hate. That simulated video doesn't seem ethical (I mean, the one with his face photoshopped on it). Ouch, Cragen bringing up Benson's mother alcoholism. I kind of thought that she would show the wrong video at the hearing. Oh, I want to know what that look meant between Benson and Stabler when Paxton started to get handsy with Stabler. Drunk Paxton at the court is just sad. Scott Foley is just a good actor (even though nobody cares Sean, nobody cares). Stabler came very close to swearing there.

11x05 Stabler is getting hurt again. Cabot is back again. ADA Elliot, is a fun thought, he didn't even blink. Stabler is really good with the kids. That child is gonna be scarred for life.

11x06, Porter is back. Stabler ruining all of Porter’s flirting attempts, shit eating grin and all. Stabler still can’t take a shot when Olivia is in danger. Morales knows what’s up, as soon as Porter appears, he closed everything.

11x07, dude straight up just winked at Benson and Stabler when they introduced themselves. Huang always feels personally insulted when a psychiatrist is involved.

11x08, totally on Richard's side, wouldn't want to be called Dickie either. Not sure Benson is any better than Stabler to interview these people. Anger issues seem to run in the Stabler family. That interrogation must have been awkward. Dickie really isn't pulling any punches this episode. The discussion at Elliot's desk actually makes sense, I do wonder what event Dickie referenced, when he accused Elliot of losing his mind. Benson and Stabler really hell-bent on proofing Paxton’s statement right. Wonder if Cragen really would get dropped if there’s another problem. Ah, the stomach compressions again. I mean, I get it, can’t really do chest compressions on an actress, because it could get awkward. And I said this before, but I really appreciate, that Stabler realizes when he made a mistake and tries to make it right.

11x09, Stabler taking care of Benson is really sweet, and I want her wearable blanket. Munch is that annoying friend who points out grammatical errors. Stabler attempting to kick in the door is kinda funny. Tucker will be back, won’t he? Munch trying to make Olivia feel better by telling her how horrible she looks. And here comes Tucker, don’t think this episode is going to make me like him more. Stabler is not happy with him either. Benson seeing right through Tucker when he tells her Stabler revealed information to him. Just an observation, Benson’s necklace is tighter during her interrogation than it usually is. Stabler really out there mortgaging his house for her. And I’m very sure he did not tell Kathy about it. Of course, Stabler is checking in on Benson. I did not know that you could fabricate DNA, though nothing about that can be found since 2009. Poor Callahan. I really would have liked it, if Harrison had actually been someone from a past season.

11x10, Fin is not wrong, when he tells Cragen that Benson and Stabler get to bend the rules. Munch again on the grammar control. Cabot really going after the dude in court. Well, that was a surprise ending.

11x11, that opening is just harrowing. But the grandpa is a really good guy.

11x12, Benson and Stabler being referred to as Cragen's pet detectives seems right. Stabler isn't handling it well, when Benson works with someone else. That shooting was so fake. But at least the heiress was convinced. Yep, Elliot does not like having Ash around. I commented on Beck’s good french, so i gotta comment on the heiress’s bad French.

11x13, Stabler gets injured, again. At least Benson looks after him. Babs saying Stabler has the hots for Benson, and her response being that’s never gonna happen, is really not addressing Babs accusation. The editing after the non-kiss is really weird. Probably because there actually was a kiss. Love that Benson tells the next cop to stay outside the apartment. So, does Stabler actually get a gay vibe from Benson? Stabler caught on to her interrogation tactic really quick! Benson is enjoying the Babs-Stabler kiss way too much.

11x14, that prayer scene is just really weird.

11x16, okay, so the cops irritation of the victim is very understandable. Olivia does not react well to Cragen telling her to do some sweet talk. I really liked Cabot in this episode. Nardeli's story was just sad. I felt Cabot's second exit was actually well set up and executed.

11x17, the scene where Elliot gives Olivia the car (?) keys is very domestic.

11x18, Benson undercover, that guy is a creep!!! Benson agrees. Stabler is enjoying those mattress ads a bit too much. The suspect, assuming Stabler was there for sex and immediately jumping to a threesome when Benson showed up, might be my new favorite suspect. Never heard AF be referred to as "my friend", neither did Stabler, apparently. Suspect might be my fave, but girl is weird, especially keeping the sheets with menstrual blood for 35 years. I assumed the mattress guy wasn't dead when the detective didn't let them into her apartment, still appreciated the twists though.

11x20 has Liv undercover and Elliot saving her, 11x22 has Benson and Stabler undercover as a married couple.

11x23 I enjoy Elliots bad jokes. Does Marlowe walk around with a huge stain on her blouse, or is that a pattern? I honestly can’t tell… I really don’t know why, but the son's confession was a real déjà vu, I thought I heard that word for word in an earlier episode. Might be because I’ve been binging this series for 2 months now.

11x24, Surprisingly, when Benson was out cold, Stabler actually took care of the suspect first. Kinda sad that we didn't get to see him checking on her. Not a fan of Warner. Getting shot, but her saying to get the sterile gaze and then immediately putting it on the ground if funny to me.

The first half of the season was really good, second half had it's moments.

Beau Is Afraid (2023) Review

A few days ago I read an article that proclaimed Beau Is Afraid to be a 3 hour long anxiety attack. So naturally I thought - that sounds fun, I want to go see that. So here I am.

Plot: Following the sudden death of his mother, a mild-mannered but anxiety-ridden man confronts his darkest fears as he embarks on an epic, Kafkaesque odyssey back home.

I have had mixed opinions on Ari Aster’s previous films, as Hereditary was a mediocre horror film with one memorable sequence involving a certain decapitation, and Midsommar was basically a modern day take on The Wicker Man. But I also appreciate their existence now more than ever, as were it not for the critical and financial success of those movies, A24 would have never justified giving Ari Aster a $30 million budget to make a film like Beau Is Afraid. For this movie is absolutely bonkers insane! This is sorely Ari Aster’s unique vision, and one that you’re either willing to jump on the ride with, or you won’t get it and find it pretentious and ridiculous. 

This is a movie that demands a lot from its viewers. What starts as a simple premise with Beau planning to go visit his mother after not seeing her for a while becomes this overlong surreal, grotesque and unpredictable odyssey and very much an interpretive challenge as it is shown through the eyes of the titular Beau. However Beau struggles from multiple anxiety disorders, as such everything he sees, hears or feels is always under question of what is reality and what isn’t. Beau is what I’d call an unreliable narrator. You know that feeling when you’re anxious about some worst case scenario happening that you’ve built up in your head, but then reality strikes and it’s never anything as bad as you brain expected it to be? Well for Beau every craziest scenario that his brain assumes becomes reality, as such everything around Beau is very over the top and macabre mad. Especially since all of Beau’s thoughts and insecurities stem from his very dysfunctional relationship with his mother, and as such everything Beau does is an attempt to emancipate himself from this toxic connection. The result? Well the result is one really weird f-ed up movie!

Joaquin Phoenix is perfectly cast as the broken and lost Beau. Phoenix is able to deliver so much with his eyes and expression, showing off Beau’s desperation to get out of this hell that consistently finds himself in, and all he wants is to be left alone. Yet as befit of the Kafkaesque reference in the synopsis, Beau simply cannot ever catch a break. He’s like the cockroach from the famous Kafka short story Metamorphosis, that is stuck in a room, not being able to get out of it. Beau’s life is one big messed up nightmare. And during this nightmare journey that is split into these episodes of sort, Beau meets a whole array of colourful characters, which I won’t spoil, but I will say that the whole cast in this movie do a fantastic job of embracing Aster’s mentality. The likes of Nathan Lane, Amy Ryan, Parker Posey, Richard Kind, Stephen McKinley Henderson are just a few examples, each bringing in their own peculiarities. Zoe Lister-Jones and Patti LuPone both a responsible for bringing to life the younger and older version of Beau’s mum, and both are very great at delivering one super manipulative and deranged creation. 

From a technical standpoint this movie is a pure filmmaking dream. Ari Aster definitely took advantage of A24′s big pay-check by creating some really trippy sequences, ones that are definitely inspired by the absurdist takes of David Lynch. A highlight it a scene where Beau is watching a theatre performance, and mentally puts himself into it, and we are then treated to a most beautifully bizarre semi-animated sequence. Beau is whisked into the on-set scene and then proceeds to traipse through fable-like villages, living out a long imagined life full of pure love and abject terror. It’s delicate movie art rendered as psychological weaponry. It’s a visually stunning piece, and one that only adds to the questions of what the hell we are watching. Another example is closer to the end of the film where Beau is forced to go up into this mysterious attic he’s been avoiding all his life, and what he sees there is something so random and twisted, yet at the same time a great use of practical effects and once again an example of Ari Aster’s willingness to create something truly different.

That’s what Beau Is Afraid is - different. Every viewer will leave having a different interpretation, but there is no doubting that this is Ari Aster’s very own distinct director vision, and one that feels like you’re being thrown face first into someone’s deep subconscious. It’s a truly exhilarating viewing experience. Do I get all of it? No, but I don’t think I need to. Some things are meant to be misunderstood. Is the movie a bit long? I mean yeah, it’s three bloody hours! Though that may tread a bit into the element of self indulgency from Aster, I still can say with certainty that this was a strangely enjoyable watch, and also surprisingly funny too. In a twisted way, Beau Is Afraid is a hilarious comedy of errors. And by gosh go see it on the big screen at the cinema. This movie deserves your undivided attention, don’t wait for it to go to streaming. Cinema is where it’s at, even if at my screening there was this very annoying fly that kept flying from the projector to the screen, making the in-movie anxiety correlate pretty effectively with my anxiety of that stupid damn fly!!

Overall score: 9/10

AHAHAAH IM CRYING Richard cranium is actually so genius but so out of pocket but props to whoever thought of that alternative name LMAO

Bro I exclusively associate that “Who is that fine babe” audio with this one tiktok about Yuta and the cockroach curse from the culling games LMFAOO (hoping you’ve seen it before it was pretty viral iirc) but I’m laughing reader and Tullia calling otoya out and I imagine he’d be super defensive like “NO??? WTF IM ONLY INTO WOMEN AND SHE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE HIM HER BEAUTY MARK IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HER FACE”

No he SO WOULD LMAO the epitome of someone who would do that shit otoya being so naive he’s like “yeah Chris Prince is my homie!! Look at all this swag he’s got I’m even one of his top subscribers” and then he gets duped

Otoya having his eevee battle hounding to channel the dark type LMFAOO that’s so in character and Karasu sneaking in and taking the gible is SO FUNNY reader and otoya like “WTF yk garchomp is a ground type right???” “I thought you only wanted flying types???” and karasus just like “I never said that you shouldn’t assume things about people (⁎⁍̴̆Ɛ⁍̴̆⁎)” it’s even funnier if you imagine that while otoya and reader are fighting to determine who gets to battle it Karasu doesn’t even have to whittle its hp down the gible just likes him and hops into the ball (maybe it’s the hair affinity yk) but wait about otoyas greninja idk how realistic this is to this au because like you said he probably ends up using sylveon as his signature but imagine he eventually got to ash-greninjaify is greninja

TEAM X that’s such a big brain name the amount of thinking you put into naming things never fails to amaze me the whole luna scion of santalune too

There’s now only two vibes to Barou edits pokemon au angst or hot crack (every now and then I go back and watch that Barou edit you showed me before like I can’t stop thinking abt it) I’m crying for multiple reasons but wait this is actually kinda funny we have the that satosugu edit audio vibe for the pokemon au and then the nasty dog audio for oaeu barou the difference in vibes is insane READER WAKING UP FROM THE DREAM goodbye that’s my last straw

HOUNDOOM CUKTURE LMFAOAOSHAHA uhhh do you mean behavior..? I lowk feel like there might’ve been another word that fits too but that’s the first one I thought of but I’ve also seen the word ritual be applied to animals Karasu thinking she’s dead and being scared shitless too maybe he’s tearing up in a rare moment of mediocrity (by his terms ig ykwim) time to brainstorm od a dumbass meeting I’m sure you’ll cook with that

OOH RIGHT almost forgot that people irl also breed pokemon to get shinies (myself included) ok but you read my mind when I first thought abt it too one that came to mind was shiny metagross…also because I was like wait its colors kinda slap right??? Also think my brain was primed by us thinking about Steven stone too LMAOO the blue accent on the mega one also just kinda adds to the vibe yk but wait also Lowk mega shiny houndoom’s red parts really match Barou with his red highlights in LOL too bad we don’t rlly see him alive to fight with mega houndoom yuki with shiny steelix would def steal the show LOL

I wasn’t aware that goodra looked like that shiny LOL put you’re so right imagine when he first sees it he’s like “it reminds me of lemon tea” and he likes it even more LMAOO wait shiny aegislash does go hard and I feel like it also matches the barou family vibe LOL

Ok pause…imagine also when the magikarp evolves and mc first sees the red gyarados her first thought is “aww it’s red and kinda angry looking, reminds me of my cousin” SHSHSHS the scam is so funny Otoya fr being like thank GOD I wasn’t the only one who got scammed that would’ve been embarrassing LMAOO

OK PAYSE THE LATEST CHAPTWR??? I guess we all knew igaguri HAD to be in there at some point because of the hints being dropped from kaneshiro but BRUH YUKIMIYAS FACE OF BETRAYAL and the way we fr got no more elaboration on Kunigami wc omg I have no words also the battle of the balds is actually crazy work I had to stop myself from laughing but speaking of maybe I didn’t pay attention but who’s being subbed out for Loki? I’m praying that Karasu still gets a moment to shine but also the way kiyora has barely done anything else besides that one pass to Kaiser is crazy too anyways crossing my fingers and manifesting

Also unrelated but I’m going back and reformatting the LNs just for my own sake because I want them to look cleaner and I’ve already found like five typo ridden sentences in the first chapter of yukis omg if you want the cleaned up version though lmk and I’ll send it back here LMAO

- Karasu anon

I WAS HOWLING WHEN I SAW IT LIKE WDYM RICHARD CRANIUM??? anyways that’s not even the craziest one but i can’t remember any better ones LMAO

no because yk if photoshop exists in this world tullia spends reader’s ENTIRE gym battle editing yayoi’s hair onto tabito and then when the battle’s over and she’s done editing she shows it to otoya like “smash or pass” and otoya’s like you can’t fool me that’s karasu he has a mole and yayoi doesn’t but tullia’s like bro?? you didn’t answer the question??? and he just LEAVES (to go catch swablu) and it’s never mentioned again LMAOAO honestly reader and karasu have such a cute dynamic but tullia and otoya are MENACES to each other (what’s funnier is tullia has a full team for the entire story but otoya only has a froakie at first and that does NOT stop him from talking shit 😭 i know froakie is sweating bullets staring at tullia’s fully grown lanturn and lilligant like bro…pls don’t make me fight her…)

HELPPP I BET OTOYA PAYS FOR THOSE CHRIS PRINCE PERSONALIZED GREETINGS TOO LMAOAO omg otoya being a chris prince stan is one of my fav things FKLGJS imagine chris prince also dabbled in contests when he was younger so he’s actually also lowkey yukimiya’s mentor?? which is why yuki knows for a fact that his product placement is bullshit (imagine otoya is watching one of his personalized chris prince videos and yuki sees him because he’s helping reader train and he’s just like “oh chris just hires a ditto to film those for him they’re not real” and otoya is like WHAT THE FUCK)

okay wait speaking of yuki listen to the arc i’ve come up with for him…basically he meets reader and co somehow and is talking about how he’s a coordinator and obviously karasu and otoya being dicks are like “LMAOOOO MALE COORDINATOR 🤣” so then yukimiya’s like okay if you think i’m weak do you want to battle?? and then he proceeds to absolutely wipe the floor with him…at that point in time karasu only has his birds so yuki’s steelix alone is sufficient and otoya only has the second-stage evolutions of greninja, ampharos, and blissey so they’re all still on the young side…yukimiya’s breloom makes QUICK work of them and then he’s like “didn’t you know battling is part of contests 😐” ofc reader is like omg that was insane and also you’re super hot so she asks him to train her and he tells her he will if she enters a contest so she’s like okay and enters her houndour (who still hasn’t evolved into houndoom yet because this arc takes place relatively early on in the story) and tullia enters her lilligant (otoya and karasu def respect yuki now but they still can’t bring themselves to do a contest) and yukimiya trains them both and when they get to the contest reader and houndour absolutely COOK like they DEVOUR the competition but when it comes to the final round she’s disqualified on a technicality; yukimiya goes to argue for her but he finds out that the real reason she was disqualified is because houndours/houndooms are considered bad luck/symbols of death and the judges wouldn’t allow one to win the contest!! so it’s kind of like baby’s first look at corruption SLDKFJSD tullia ends up winning which is implied to be deserved (it was literally a tossup between tullia and reader but because houndour is a fire type and lilligant is a grass type reader would’ve likely won the battle) but it’s still unfair overall because reader didn’t even get a chance to prove herself (it’s also what drives yukimiya to align himself with the gym leaders/e4 in the final confrontation so he does pull up again!! with chris prince hehe)

SFKJGKSD no i 100% pictured karasu just going fuck it and throwing the pokéball at gible and the gible is just genuinely really friendly and LOVES people so it would’ve gone with literally anyone?? like there was no need for them to battle it at all they’re just dumb 😭 pls and the entire time tullia’s watching and karasu’s just like 🤫 at her and she lives for the drama so she keeps her mouth shut HAHAHA

team x just felt so perfect especially because their whole thing is to get rid of training?? like X training idk if that makes sense LMAOAO i really like it though!! and yesss the scion of santalune just rolls off the tongue so nicely…i think it’s funny if all of reader and co have celebrity crushes i def think luna should be one!! like otoya’s is yayoi (and lowkey chris prince if we’re being real…), karasu’s is probably anri…i would say tullia’s is luna but LOWKEY i can’t even lie luna is just a male tullia so it would be a little weird 😭 description wise anyways given the blond hair and green eyes (although i imagine tullia’s hair to be a bit more of an ash blond and her eyes to be a bit of a more muted green??) maybe she’ll have a celeb crush on loki or noel noa and reader will have one on luna 🤔 he’s like the seventh gym too so at that point the nagi slowburn will have progressed a bit so imagine nagi just has insane beef with luna as well as karasu because reader literally won’t shut up about him

PLSSS whenever i see a barou edit my first thought is like DAMNNN BAROU I NEED YOU and my second thought is like barouuu please come home your baby sister misses you 😭😓💔 no because the difference in oaeu barou and pokémon au barou is insane…i mean honestly i think everyone but karasu and otoya act super different when you compare the pokémon au to the oaeu LFKJSJLK one thing abt tabieita though they will be a bunch of rude dumbasses in every lifetime

nooo i don’t think it was behavior…maybe ritual??? although that doesn’t sound quite right either UGH anyways you got what i meant LMAOO anyways yes karasu is 100% crying because like reader’s his baby ykwim like he watched her go from a fuckass girl with one singular pokémon to an idiot that got scammed into taking on a magikarp to one of the best trainers in the entire region he’s so attached to her wdym she is DEAD?? but then she’s actually alive and he’s so relieved he doesn’t care that he’s being mediocre (like in the egoist bible when he said he doesn’t mind being mediocre if the world is ending…that’s the vibe he gives in that scene) he’s just so happy that she’s okay 😭 and then he tells her to return her houndoom because he’ll look after now 😩 then she’s like what about barou and his houndoom??? so he’s like it’s okay garchomp will take them (he’s the one who carries reader out #strongking) and she’s like please tell garchomp to be really careful because he’s my family and i don’t want anything to happen to him and ofc karasu’s team “fuck barou” because he doesn’t know the truth yet but he thinks of reader so highly that he actually does tell garchomp to be careful with barou because if she loved barou then that’s good enough for him

LMAOO steven stone reminding us of his presence everywhere we go…maybe hiori just moonlights as the champion of the hoenn region and pulls up to check on his preserve in kalos occasionally /j HAHA no i agree if only barou got to live a bit longer 😭 his battle against noel noa is televised and reader watches so we do see him in action there!! right before he dies 😓 shiny goodra is just so warm and comforting looking for some reason?? very nagi coded…and agreed shiny aegislash gives major barou family vibes i think between barou’s anime color being red and houndoom being red(dish) + black it’s safe to say that the entire barou family theme is red and black!! which lowkey makes shiny gyarados fit right…

HAHAHA PLS maybe the REAL reason why reader isn’t scared of her gyarados is because she’s used to people (aka barou) who look scary and intimidating and constantly pissed off but are actually just big sweethearts on the inside…reader the gyarados whisperer for that FR HAHAH i bet those people who like check your pokémon’s happiness (they exist in-game idk what the logic for them to be there in the au is but let’s pretend) are SO surprised when they see reader coming with her gyarados because they’re expecting it to be furious but it’s actually super chuffed!! my headcanon is that most gyarados are super angry because they basically are thrown into fights that they cannot win as magikarp for the sake of gaining battle experience and evolving but reader never even uses her magikarp to battle or anything…like during their downtime it’ll play in the water with tullia’s lanturn and (for the arcs/moments that they’re present) chigiri’s gorebyss/isagi’s lapras/yukimiya’s azumarill but she’s not tossing it out whenever she’s facing off against nagi or team x grunts or whatever she actually just takes very good care of it and treats it like a friend!! it evolves when reader and co are captured on a team x ship and they manage to break free and they’re going to fly away on karasu’s birds but then reader realizes that magikarp’s pokéball is still in the dungeon?? for some reason maybe because it’s shiny anyways she gives the rest of her pokémon to karasu/tullia/otoya and tells them to leave if she’s not back within a couple of minutes because she won’t leave without magikarp but she doesn’t want to bring the others or her pokémon down with her…anyways while she’s sneaking around a bunch of team x grunts surround tabitullieita so they reluctantly fly away (karasu does tell his staraptor to stay in the area and keep an eye out just in case so it’s not like they totally abandon reader) meanwhile more team x grunts find reader and they’re like ok time for you to deadass walk the plank we’re done keeping you alive so she’s pushed off of the ship and left to drown BUT then magikarp releases itself and she’s like don’t worry magikarp i don’t regret saving you even if i had to do it again i’d go back and find you which prompts it to evolve just because of how much it loves her and wants to protect her 🥹 then she and gyarados destroy the ship #slay #girlboss and she rides it back to the beach where tabitullieita are depressed because staraptor just told them that the ship reader was on was sunk by a gyarados (it was too far away to realize reader was riding the gyarados the entire time LSFKJSD)

OKAY AS PROMISED I HAVE MR. MIKAGE’S TEAM THE E4 CANDIDATE’S SIGNATURE POKÉMON:

kunigami: chesnaught idk why but chesnaught just SCREAMS kunigami to me

bachira: ludicolo HELP the dancing…the unseriousness…the lowkey rlly good typing…it’s somehow so perfect

mr. mikage: gardevoir (maybe this is why reo wanted a gardevoir??), cloyster, gogoat, flygon, gigalith, and kangaskhan (mostly as a reference to when reader was supposed to have a kangaskhan HAHA)

IGAGURI IN THE CHAPTER IS CRAZYYYY please yuki’s little 😯 made me so saddd GET MY BOY IN THE GAME he’s so so much better than IGAGURI like who invited bro?? and yeah idk who loki replaced but i’m pretty sure that means it was probably just a random pxg player LMAO because i think it would’ve been mentioned if it was a bllker?? or maybe i’m just slow and missed it too…if it’s anyone from blue lock though it would def be like tokimitsu bro has done NOTHING this entire time even zantetsu and nanase have contributed more (karasu was carrying for a solid while so it’s 100% not him) and LMAOOOO PLEASE BATTLE OF THE BALDS HAD ME CRYING it’s just so insane for no reason?? bald on bald violence goes crazy though fr…

CONNECTION DESCRIPTION:

TW: child neglect, substance abuse, OD. dysfunction.

The Navarros' are the Gallaghers from Shameless. The kids basically raised themselves.

They all were born and grew up in South Hills.

These kids learned survivors instincts from the get, and they raised hell for just as long. The oldest daughter was the head of the family, she is the one who took over most of the care. Ryat is the second oldest, and he also took a big part in raising these kids.

A lot of the background of the siblings is UTP. What they're doing. Rather or not they made it out of South Hills, or if theyve been to prison. If their lives are together, or if they still figuring shit out.

THE TWO THINGS THAT ARE SET IN STONE, HOWEVER: The second oldest daughter, Abigail, did get pregnant with she was a teenager. She currently had a teenage son who's around 14, and named Noah at this moment. How she does as a parent, etc etc is UTP. The other thing is that there are 7 NAVARRO SIBLINGS. There is also a 17 year old named Maddison, who at the very least, still lives at the Navarro family home.

BIRTH ORDER FOR THE NAVARROS SIBLINGS GOES AS SUCH:

Michaela (38-40)

Ryat (36)

Alexander (31-34)

Abigail (31-34)

Atlas (29-30)

Levi (26-28)

Maddison (17)

------

Their parents are Richard and Kelly Navarro. Kelly would spend some time in prison and when she came out, she'd link back up with her no good husband, and the birth of the last Navarro child came nine months later.

Kelly would overdose when Maddi was 1, while Ryat held her.

Their father, Richard, nicknamed Dick, by most of the kids, is still in the picture. He like a cockroach that won't die, and he is often found bumming around the Navarro house.

This family is BIG dysfunctional. They didn't grow up with good parents, and usually had to fight their way through life. But the one thing they are is close. Ryat loves all his siblings, and growing up, they really only even had each other. This, of course, doesn't mean they don't go rounds with each other...

Story Time!!

It's 11:30 at night, I'm down in the kitchen getting a glass of water in the dark. While I'm filling the glass, my mom's cat is on the counter, up to mischief (as per usual). This time, she's crawling into the sink. This strikes me as slightly odd-- normally when she's on the counter, she's looking for glasses to drink from, or she's chasing stray lady bugs on the ceiling. At this moment, she's rustling through a few plates in the sink, so I assume she's trying to drink the residual water around the drain (disgusting, I know. But she's odd-- she has multiple water dishes, yet she seems to prefer toilet water and unattended drinking glasses.)

I figure she must be thirsty, so once I'm done drinking, I refill the cup and set it on the counter beside her. I lift her out of the sink to try and sway her from the dingy sink water (ew); she pays it no mind and climbs back into the sink. I turn on the faucet, thinking maybe she wanted running water. She's quite stubborn, and usually novelty is the only distraction when her mind is set on trouble. Three things happen, almost simultaneously.

1.) The cat climbs out of the sink

2.) Something dark washes across the drain filter from beneath a plate

3.) I turn off the water, wondering when I dropped a piece of plastic in the sink.

An uncanny pattering sound provokes further investigation, so I then bring my face closer. This is where I discover that the unusual pitter patter was actually the sound of a ballistic cockroach, propelling itself from the stainless-steel confines of the sink. In the great metaphors of life, my face was comparable to the backboard of basketball hoop, and the roach, a F-16 Fighting Falcon.

And this thing? I mean this thing was huge.

Richard Attenborough would have given the roach its own exhibit in his park. It could have just gotten on its tippy toes, thanked the waiter, and climbed out of the sink. It could have beat Andre the Giant to a drinking contest. I could have walked this thing on a leash. When I finally had the wits about me to shine a flashlight, a roach-shaped shadow took up the whole wall. It was three hairs short of a toddler. It practically gripped the sink with its claws and stared at me with its pitiless eyes. I'm not telepathic but based on the roach's blank stare and blatant aura of hostility, I would venture to guess it was plotting something rather unpleasant. A stone to the forehead from David himself wouldn't have killed this thing, let alone a phone book. What was I going to do; make it mad? Fortunately, my mom's cat is unaffected by these sorts of things, and I figured it best for her to deal with the matter in her unique way. So, like the good Sir Robin, I bravely fled.

All in all, it was ginormous. Gigantic. Huge. Moral of the story is: cats are good. Get a cat. Let the cat do its thing. Don't meddle with the cat's process, it knows what it's doing.

Mitchell - 1999 Blue Ford Ranger. This truck has survived 24 Canadian winters, 10 of which have been with Mitchell. He got it from his grandfather when he graduated high school and has driven it ever since. No one knows how the truck hasn’t died yet. It just keeps on fuckin goin. As soon as Mitch finds a way to get it to Skyrim, he’s taking it on a cross country road trip to run over Ulfric Stormcloak

JD - White 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. Got it around 2006 off of a family friend. He drove it from Virginia to Florida and christened it as his by railing his boss (Charles) on an air mattress in the back until said air mattress popped. That truck bed has seen more shit than any truck should see. It also regularly hauls the drunken members of Dethklok around.

Bryn - Purple 2011 Dodge Charger. Bought it in Steelport when he first arrived and has been driving it ever since. A surprisingly good investment on his part.

Atla - Purple 2022 BMW Series 2. Atla’s new ride after her beloved old ass Purple Volkswagen bug finally shit the bed. Usually she’s not one for flashy cars, but she could more than afford it and she enjoyed the color and the look. Tullius claims she’s lost her ability to use turn signals since buying it, but he’s full of shit.

Ser Richard - Cream/Off White 1985 Toyota Tacoma. Much like a cockroach, this truck will survive the end of days, even when all else has died. It serves as Ser Richard’s farm truck/chorin’ truck. It smells like spilled coffee and pine air fresheners. There’s a 50% chance Etienne was conceived in the truck bed. It’s got a lot of good memories for Richard.

Etienne - Green 1975 Ford Falcon. It’s been etiennes dream car since he was a kid, and he got it in the worst possible condition from a sketchy salesman who frequented the club etienne worked at. It took years of work and dedication to make the car road safe again, but eventually he managed to get it running. And he loves it! That car is his baby.

Garth - Black 2014 Jeep Wrangler. Not great on gas, but perfect for Garth’s needs. Now that he doesn’t have to haul the entirety of the Kirkwall crew around, he’s finally been able to ditch his old dodge minivan and get something a little better suited to his outdoorsman hobbies.

Jon - Blue 2016 Subaru Outback. He swears up and down by this SUV. He loves this damn thing. Its perfect for everything from camping trips to Costco runs, and he can easily strap his kayaks to the roof for a fun weekend getaway with Garth.

Might take a moment to be mentally ill about my two favorite subjects. My ocs and what cars they would drive

for Damian Wayne Week 2021, day 5, prompt: ‘Mother and Son’ and ‘Brother’

Dick watches as Talia scours every inch of their cell. She has been doing that for almost three hours, now. Dick stopped way back at hour one. He knows why they’re here, knows exactly why it’s the two of them in this cell. Ra’s will get his way, whether they like it or not. 

It brings back memories, to be honest. This is just like the first time he met Talia, except this time, instead of testing Bruce, Ra’s is testing Damian. 

“Talia,” he finally says, “sit down. You know you’re not going anywhere.”

She scoffs. “Maybe you were raised to give up, Richard, but I was not. I will find a way out of here, and when I do, my father will have many things to answer to.”

Dick sighs. He doesn’t want to do this either, but he knows that even if they manage to get out, Ra’s will just try again. He’s like a cockroach, unable to be killed. Eventually, he will get what he wants, and this time, what he wants is to test Damian. 

“And what are you going to do once you’re out?” Dick asks, trying to appeal to Talia’s logical side. “You know he’s just going to do it all over again. This time, it’s just a kidnapping. What if next time it’s worse? Do you want to do that to Damian? Better to just get it over with.”

Talia looks at him with venom in her eyes. He knows that it’s because she knows that he is right, and she is pissed about it. 

“Fine,” she spits out. “But only because of Damian.” 

She walks around the cell one more time, and then chooses the spot that is farthest away from Dick to sit down. 

They spend several minutes that way, each lost in their own thoughts. Dick wonders what Talia is thinking about. He knows what he is thinking: the last time he saw Talia. The image of the Heretic, standing over Damian’s body with a bloody sword, swirls in his mind. He will never be able to forget it, no matter how many times he has hugged his little brother to convince himself that Damian is here, breathing and alive. 

Finally, because he has always wanted to ask this to Talia, and because there is no better time and place than right now, with just the two of them in this cell and no lethal weapons between them, Dick says, “Why did you kill him, Talia?”

She turns her head towards him in an instant. He sees her eyes narrow, but Dick stands his ground. He needs to know this, because Damian may have accepted the fact that his mother sent out bounties for his head, may have accepted the fact that his mother sent a clone of himself to kill him, but Dick hasn’t. 

“I didn’t kill him,” she snaps at him, but Dick doesn’t want her semantics. 

“You sent a clone of him to kill him, Talia,” he snaps back. “You killed him.”

“I didn’t kill him!” she shouts. Dick watches as she takes in a few breaths, and then she whispers, “I didn’t mean to kill him.

“He… He wasn’t meant to kill Damian. He was supposed to follow orders, he was supposed to follow my orders,” she continues. “But then he…” She closes her eyes, placing her head back on the walls of the cells. “He was supposed to follow orders,” she finishes. 

“The Heretic?” Dick asks. 

Talia nods. 

Suddenly, Dick understands. He knows about the Heretic, knows about Talia’s plans to create a perfect child, a child who would follow her every order. He also knows the lengths of what Talia would do to achieve that.

“He’s a human being too, Talia,” he finally says.

She sighs. “Yes. Yes, he was.”

They sit in silence again for a while, but the previous conversation only gave Dick more questions than answers. “I still don’t understand,” he tries again. “Even… even discounting what you did with Leviathan, you still hurt him. You said the Heretic was supposed to follow orders. Damian was too, wasn’t he?”

Damian, forcing himself to go on patrol even when he’s almost delirious from a fever. Damian, forcing himself not to flinch when he think he has done something wrong, because he knew that flinching would earn him an even worse punishment. Damian, not comprehending the fact that someone could love him just for who he is, and not for what he could do. 

Dick doesn’t wait for an answer. He continues on. “I don’t understand how you can do that to a child, any child, much less your own.”

Talia looks back at him. “Do you think it’s easy being the daughter of the Demon?” she growls. “Life in the League is hard. Being a relative to the Demon’s Head is even harder.”

Dick frowns. That’s not the explanation he wanted— nothing would ever be an explanation he wanted, because he could not comprehend doing that to Damian— but it’s something. Something to build on. 

“Is that why you do all of that?”

“I…” Talia sighs. She looks around the cell they’re in, and then seems to decide something. The tension in her body disappears, and she almost looks like she is melting into the wall behind her. “I bore him, you know,” she says. “I told him he was made in an artificial womb, but the only artificial thing about it is that it has been made and remade, again and again, with the Lazarus. Nine months, and more.” She smiles. “Even as a baby in the womb, he wants to have his way.” 

Dick finds himself smiling back. He doesn’t know why Talia is talking about this, what purpose this conversation will have, but he senses that Talia is, for once, being honest about Damian with him. And he would never say no to baby stories of Damian. 

“That does sound like Damian,” Dick says. “What did he do?”

“The average length of a pregnancy is thirty-nine weeks. He was with me for forty-two weeks. The doctor was about to induce labour when my water suddenly broke.”

“Not about to let anyone tell him what to do, huh?”

“That’s Damian,” Talia says, the smile on her face softer than anything Dick has seen before. 

“Why did you tell him he was made in the artificial womb?” Dick prods. 

She pauses, and, in an uncharacteristic display of honesty, says, “To stop his sentiment on me.”

“What?”

“Tell me, Richard. What has sentiment ever done for me?” She shakes her head. “Nothing but pain. I thought…”

“You could spare him that pain,” Dick finishes. “Didn’t work, huh?”

Talia goes back to looking at him with venom in her eyes. This time, however, the venom is of a different kind. It’s the kind of venoms that mothers will willingly spit out for their children, even as it hurts themselves. 

“Obviously,” she says, in a way that is so reminiscent of Damian. It’s clear where Damian got those traits. 

Dick waits for Talia to keep talking, but she is like Damian in this way too. Or, perhaps, more accurately, Damian is like her in this way. They both realize that they have said far too much, and stops. Thankfully, Dick is well-practiced in the art of coaxing answers out of Damian. 

“You love him, don’t you?” he asks. 

Talia bites her lips, war clear in her eyes. Or perhaps only clear for someone who has seen that exact same look in her son’s eyes far too many times. Finally, she spits out, “What do you think? His blood is my blood and his bones are my bones.”

Dick takes that in, and then says, “I think that I have never understood you, Talia. You say you love him, but then you control his body. But then you put a bounty on his head. And even if you said you didn’t mean for him to die, you still put him in that situation. How am I supposed to believe you love him when you did all of that?”

“I…” Talia sighs. “I might as well go all in and answer that. I’ve said far too much already.” She shakes her head. “But, a trade, if you will, Richard? A question for a question. An answer for an answer.”

Dick thinks about it for a moment, and then shrugs. What’s the worst that could happen? “Sure.”

“I did that out of… jealousy,” she says. “Or rage. Or madness. I don’t know. Or maybe I’m tired of being used by someone I cared about and wanted to see what it’s like to use someone. And Damian… Damian is the only one who can be my target. 

“Or maybe I just want to have Damian for myself. To not have to share my son with someone else. Because,” she looks him straight in the eye, “if you recall, Richard, by then Damian was no longer only mine, and will never be only mine again.

“Selfishness, then.” She closes her eyes, and breathes out. “For twenty months, I am all that he knows, for even Ra’s al Ghul wishes to do nothing with an infant. For twenty short months, and that’s including his gestation, I am his whole world. But then I have to share him with my father, with the League, and with his father, eventually.

“Why do you think I didn’t tell him about his father until much later? I didn’t want to share him. But share him I did, and that made me…. bitter.”

Dick blinks. He wasn’t expecting that answer. It made Talia seemed… human.

Of course he knows that Talia is human, but in Dick’s mind, Talia is always something else. Something other. Lazarus pits and Leagues of Assassins and forgotten myths from centuries ago. 

He should have known better. She is as human as he is, and right now, she sounds like any other mother, who wants to keep their child to themselves. 

“So I guess,” she continues, “the answer to your question is, I took his body because I want to feel what it’s like to use instead of be used. And I… I killed him because I’ve had to share him with others. The Heretic was also mine, you know. So were the Sons. I convinced myself that I didn’t need, didn’t want Damian anymore because I have them already. 

“But I was wrong. Damian is my son, and that will never change.”

“Do you regret it?” Dick can’t help but ask. 

“Regret it?” she looks at him incredously. “I will spend the rest of my days asking myself why I did that. I will spend the rest of my days being thankful for Damian’s forgiveness.”

Dick has nothing to say to that. Talia doesn’t either, it seems, because she is silent for a while, before she visibly collected herself. 

“That’s enough from me for now,” she says, mask firmly back on. “You owe me two answers, Richard.”

“Two?” Dick asks. 

“You asked two questions, did you not?” she raises her eyebrows. 

Dick sighs. He should have known. “Alright,” he sighs. “Ask away, Talia.”

She is silent for a while. “What did you do,” she finally says, “that makes Damian love you so?”

Dick blows out a breath. He really should have known. Talia isn’t going to skimp on the questions. He knows how she thinks. She didn’t expect to be giving out so much information, but now that she did, she’s going to make the most out of it and grill him for as much information as she gave out. 

“Asking difficult questions, huh, Talia?” he asks, more to give himself time to think than actually asking. 

“You are the one who started it, Richard,” she replies back. “Now answer the question.”

Dick tries to gather his thoughts, but eventually, he says, “I… I guess it’s because… it was just the two of us. That time when Bruce was gone. Everyone else left and…” He wants to say that he cannot in good conscience let Damian go back to her, but that doesn’t seem like a good thing to say right now. He does have some tack. 

“And it was just the two of us,” Dick repeats. He looks back at her, and remembers that she gave him an honest answer, or as honest as she could manage, and decides that he will too. “I didn’t give up on him. He kept expecting me to send him away, but… But I need him to be there, too.” Dick laughs a little, because if you told him, back when he was still wearing the cowl and shouldering the weight of the legacy Bruce left him, that he needed Damian there, he would have scoffed. But he knows better, now. 

“I need him there with me, because if it was just me, alone, I don’t think we would be having this conversation, Talia,” Dick says with a small smile. “So I didn’t give up on him, and he didn’t give up on me, and we came out together.”

“And that made him love you?” she asks with a frown on her face. 

“That made us love each other,” Dick answers.

“Ah,” she says, but Dick can see the frown deepening on her face. He considers explaining to her, but ultimately decides not to. She needs to figure this out on her own. 

Besides, she would not appreciate it if she think he’s condescending her. 

“Your second question?” Dick prods. He’s half-tempted to consider that her last question as the second question in this ‘game’ that they’re playing, but even he’s not that cruel. 

Talia opens her mouth, but before she can say anything, the door to their cell opens. 

“Mother!” Damian shouts. “Grayson!” he shouts again, almost running towards Dick. 

Dick is already standing up before his little brother even steps foot inside the cell. He opens his arms and Damian crashes into them, pushing the air out of Dick’s lungs.

Then, almost as quickly as it happened, Damian releases himself from the hug. He looks over towards Talia, as if remembering that she is also here, and composes himself. 

“It is good to see you well, Mother,” Damian says. 

“It is good to see you well also, my son,” Talia replies. 

They look at each other, but Dick has had enough of looking and of awkward silences. He scoops Damian back up his arms, and says, “Where’s everyone else?” 

Because if Damian came here by himself, there will be hell to pay back home. 

Damian seems to know that, because he turns to look at Dick, eyes wide even through the lenses of the domino mask. “They are outside,” he says. 

Which means that Damian ditched them to come here on his own. Dick raises his eyebrows, which is retaliated by Damian’s scrunched up nose. “They are outside,” he says again, voice tinged with petulance. 

Thankfully— and this shows just how much have changed between the two of them, that Dick can honestly be thankful for this— Talia is there. She crouches down in front of Damian, and says, slowly and clearly, “That was foolish.”

“I…” Damian tries, but with the two of them looking at him, he doesn’t have a chance. “Fine,” he grits out. “Fine.” 

Which is good enough for Dick. For now, anyways. He doesn’t want to do this in front of Talia, no matter how much insight about her he has just gained. He shakes his little brother a bit, just to show that he’s teasing, and says, “Were you worried about us?”

“No,” Damian grumbles. “I was more worried about the fact that the two of you were left alone, unsupervised.”

Talia clicks her tongue, seemingly sharing Dick’s exasperation. She is just more vocal about it. For a moment, Dick thinks that she’s going to flick Damian’s ear, or bop his nose, but of course she doesn’t. After that one, single click, she goes straight back to business, and asks, “And what does my father wants you to do this time?”

Dick almost misses the woman she was, just a few minutes ago, when it was just the two of them, confessing something only the other one would understand. Almost. But then he snaps back, remembers that they are here for a reason, and tunes in to Damian’s answer. 

“... another one of his cumbersome tests,” Damian finishes. Dick subconciously tightens his hold on Damian, thinking of all the things Ra’s al Ghul would want to test, before he deliberately lets go again. Damian would not appreciate Dick treating him like a child, especially in front of Talia. 

“Hmm,” Talia hums, apparently thinking the same thing as Dick. She looks over Damian again, but, evidently finding nothing wrong with him, just taps him once in the cheek and says, “Be careful.” 

“Yes, Mother,” Damian grumbles again. “Can we go, now? I believe more of Grandfather’s men is currently heading in this direction.”

“You go,” Talia says. “I have several things I need to discuss with your grandfather.”

“Mother,” Damian starts to protest, but Dick catches Talia’s eyes, and sees in them a shadow of the woman from before. She has business with Ra’s, alright, and it almost certainly involves Damian.

Dick nods at Talia. Whatever discussion she would have with her father, Dick wants Damian nowhere near it. And it’s clear that Talia doesn’t want her son near it too. 

“Come on, Dami,” he says to Damian, who look between them as if he could not decide who he wants to follow. “Let’s go.” 

“Go,” Talia tilts her head towards the door. “I will see you later, habibi.” 

Still reluctant, but finally acquescing to the unspoken demand, Damian nods. Then, he walks to the door, half-pulling, half-hindering Dick with him. Dick takes charge, then, changing his grip of Damian so that he is the one leading. 

But, as they walk out the door, Dick turns back, and he meets Talia’s eyes. She looks back, and in that one moment, the two of them understood each other perfectly.

ok BUT consider this,genderbend damijon and normal damijon meet,both dames don't like each other,the Jon's love it though,it's like having a twin

• damian and jon haven’t dated anyone ever since their feelings became known when Damian got hit with fear toxin and accidentslly blurted out his feelings and let it be known that his biggest fear was failing jon. maybe future tim got into his head that one time a lot. and then Damian just said that he liked jon a lot and didn’t want to lose him

• dami and josie confessed when Josie came back from her space adventure. Josie went off for a few weeks, and came back damis age. Dami hugged Josie as soon as she came back, Josie confessed her feelings and dami tried to run away, but Josie didn’t let her. Josie heard her heartbeat, saw how she was flustered, and took a leap of faith and kissed her

Josie: ohmyrao

Dami: do it again

• but jon and Damian were a different story, they are the same age, jon never left, but this.. was different, alright? they have known each other for years.. Damian didn’t want to lose his truly first best friend. but jon was always there. even when Damian kept running away. Jon wants to stop him, but he doesn’t want to.. overwhelm Damian? Damian runs away to collect himself, jon doesn’t want to lose damian, but jon knows they have to talk. and they will. hopefully.

• josie and dami got changed into their counterparts clothes, Josie cooing at Dami and calling her cute while Dami just glared.

Damian: you sound like a mix of richard and stephanie

Dami: they taught me how to express my emotions and gave me hope

Dami: but we love her?

Damian: sometimes unfortunately

• meanwhile josie and jon talk before the race

Josie: we both know how our D’s are just.. uhh bad at emotions sometimes. Your D won’t make the first move, mine didn’t either. but he likes you

Jon: i know he does, but it’s just sometimes difficult with him. I love him, yknow?
