#So I'm sorry if this was lame

I see.

Send me “I see” and I’ll tell you how my character perceives yours

"Mary Dahl? Yes, the name does ring a bell. She was that actress, wasn't she?" Emphasis on the was. Kirk's eyes brighten with recognition as he thinks back to the articles he's read about the woman, of the various late night bulletins popping up on the news about her criminal exploits. Mary Dahl, better known as 'Baby Doll' from her earliest role from Love that Baby! had aired roughly a decade ago, before she'd quit and the show ended up cancelled as a result. Francine had been distraught. She'd genuinely enjoyed the programme and it had taken some time for her to get over it. Kirk hadn't been into the show nearly as she'd been but he still found the young actress fascinating due to her own personal nature. Systemic hypoplasia was a rare genetic condition and Miss Dahl had provided valuable insight in the science community thanks to her career. Things clearly hadn't worked out for her unfortunately and deep down, Kirk felt a pang of sympathy for the young woman, doomed to remain looking like a child forever even when she grew old someday. His lips pursed at the thought. To miss out on so much because of something that couldn't be helped... he supposed it made her actions that little bit more understandable, though it was unsettling to think about how such an innocent-looking face could be just as capable of causing just as much chaos as Gotham's most ruthless criminals. 'Child' or not, Mary was certainly not somebody he wanted to cross anytime soon.

The little one hadn't been nearly as defenceless as he'd thought. Man-Bat rarely saw children, especially not out so late at night so when he saw the little blonde-haired girl in her carseat, she proved too tempting a target to ignore. The sound of soft footsteps caught his sharp ears as she slid out of the protective confines of her vehicle, tiny heels tapping as she trotted down the street alongside a woman Man-Bat thought to be her mother. Turned out he'd chosen the wrong human to be wary of. Against his better judgement, the mother did not spring to her pup's defence though she was quick to notice the looming threat nearby. The child however was quicker, taking matters into her own hands by pulling out a toy and shooting him square in the shoulder before he could sink his fangs into her tiny body. The sting of her bullets had been more than enough to convince him to try his luck elsewhere, Man-Bat chittering curses as he beat a hasty retreat into the darkness, the sound of the child cursing right back as she sent him on his way with more bullets that narrowly missed. Very unpleasant. The experience of a failed hunt taught him to be more careful in future, and to stay away from the little ones lest he get another nasty surprise.

"Love is the most twisted curse"... well, if so, I guess Yuji is about to untwist it and make into a blessing.

one thing about hannibal and will that i always think about and which isnt addressed in fan content a lot (that i've seen) is that they just like each other! yes they're awful and manipulative to each other and yes they have this weird sort of planetary gravity that infects their interactions and they (or will, mostly, because by the time hannibal turns himself in for will it's pretty clear that's he's accepted it) resent that they can't leave each other's orbit. but they also like each other a lot! they're used to being the smartest one in the room (even though will is antisocial about it and doesn't advertise it unless asked) so i think it must be really refreshing to be able to parry their words back n forth and speak in metaphor instead of spelling everything out. and make references that most people won't get. and call a trout a very nietzschen fish without the person who hears going "🤨 you freak". because theyre both freaks! so you know if they actually did survive the cliff fall i always picture em in some ritzy hideaway making cannibal puns at each other

remember how in dao there were always like multiple flirty options u could just spring on ur love interest and it wasn't something that was brushed past it would stop a conversation dead in its tracks to have a cute secondary flirty offshoot with small variations dependent on the flirty option u initially chose with a unique course correction to get back on topic after...... yeah.

Zuko is so fucking annoying and he's sosososo rude, like a good 95% of the time. don't do him a disservice and take that away from him. gay people deserve to be rude.

Alternative Bat ship names

Some of the batship names leave much to be desired (as I somewhat mentioned here )I wanted to propose some new ones or bring awareness to ones I think should be more popular! My credentials are that I was a part of the RWBY fandom back in 2015 so

Pairing: Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon

Original: DickBabs

Alternative: Nightwatch

"DickBabs" is not that bad tbh but also not at all creative. “Nightwatch” Was something I first saw on Spotify as a ship playlist name and thought it fit perfectly. "Night" is the first part of Dick’s hero name and watching the BatFam during patrol is kinda Barbara’s whole job description so it combines them both beautifully

Pairing: Bruce Wayne and Selena Kyle

Original: BatCat

Alternative: Thieves Crusade

“BatCat” just feels too much like “CatDog” and I don’t want to associate them with that. Now the easy choice is to go "Black Cat" As it still fits them but that's not that much better creativity wise. "Thieves Crusade" Is fairly self explanatory with Selena being the thief and Bruce being the caped Crusader but is also Selena’s goal in a way

Pairing: Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown

Original: TimSteph

Alternative: Ultra Violet

Again, “TimSteph” isn’t the worse but it’s just so bland. "Ultra Violet" Is the name of an energy drink which while mostly fanon based does remind me of Tim and Violet is a shade of purple which is Stephs favorite color

Pairing: Damian Wayne and Nika

Original: DamiNika

Alternative: Knightshade

I just don't like the way "DamiNika" sounds. "Knightshade" would be said the same as "Nightshade" which is a poisonous plant. Damian is the heir to the mantle of the Dark Knight(something he use to point out often) and Nika's whole powers surround death so I feel like it can apply to them both

Pairing: Conner "Kon" Kent and Cassandra Cain

Original: KonCass

Alternative: Star-Crossed

"KonCass" could be worse but it also could be better, it also is a bit too close to "KonCassie" for me which is a whole other ship. "Star-Crossed" Is a bit more of a stretch but my reasoning is that DC had set their relationship to fail from the beginning so the phrase itself fits and also one of the only "dates" we really see of them in canon is when Kon takes her into the sky to see the stars and the clouds(Kon is also half ailen which can kinda apply here)

If anyone knows some other good ones please share! I'm not even saying these are particularly great, In fact I’m aware they’re not, but I just miss the fun shipnames so bad:(

"Even from where he stood, Vash choked on the growing smell of death. Wolfwood looked like he should be dead, too.

After all, any normal human would be."

one of my pieces for the vw reverse bang :P the linked text leads to the fic that the wonderful Umbr_el_on wrote for this that i had tons of fun reading and rereading :D (don't worry it has a happy ending <3)

[waitmyturtles]

Emotionally, 23.5 (episode 10) is like a cheaply made puzzle, where like, the edges are cut roughly, so like, you THINK that you have the right pieces next to each other, but when you smush them in, and they don't fit QUITE smoothly enough, you're like, oh maybe there's another piece, but like, you CAN'T find another piece that works, because like, the piece you have in your hand IS the piece that is the right one for the picture you're making, or like, you THINK it is, so like, you keep smushing the pieces together, and you THINK the puzzle makes sense, but you kinda feel like you have the wrong piece, or worse, you're MISSING A BETTER PIECE, because everything's NOT QUITE JIVING.

I hope this post made as much sense as the emotional journey we attempted to take with the script in this last episode. What the FUCK is this script doing to Ongsa? A little more context, some smoother edges, would be really helpful here!

good ending! gay love pierces through the veil of death yet again✌🏼
