the time between being cast into the Land of Nod and finding Lilith must've been a grueling thing to endure. Forced to wander alone for an indeterminate amount of time with no feasible hope of finding anyone, like, ever because you killed what was one of the 4 people you knew to be alive at the time... I would've gone insane within the week

Often when trans women ask me when I'm performing next, and I tell them that it's a queer/trans event, they will tell me that they'd rather not go because they do not feel comfortable or safe in those spaces, that they have been dismissed or belittled at such events before. Even trans women who are dyke- or bisexual- identified often don't feel welcome or relevant in queer/trans spaces. And whenever a trans woman or ally points out aspects about the queer/ trans community that contribute to these feelings of irrelevancy and disrespect—such as the way our community coddles those who support trans-woman-exclusionist events or who make trans-misogynistic comments—we are described as being "divisive." This use of the word "divisive" is particularly telling, as it implies that "queer/trans" represents a uniform movement or community—a "oneness"—rather than an alliance where all voices are respected.

Prompt 271

“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone. 

“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion. 

Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files. 

“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued. 

“Is he coming to the Manor or…” 

Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”

Now wait one moment-

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

Are you quite sure you wish to resume my lessons? I would not be angry if you found me to be a lost cause. The truth is, you do not need a lesson. You agree. I am unteachable. You are very teachable. You simply do not need to be taught. You already know how to do this. I assure you, I do not.

au where remus grew up with his muggle mum so he has a super deep interest in something like star trek, or like ancient egypt or lord of the rings, and sirius, who had never heard abt these muggle things could listen to him talk for hours

Waittt, what did you mean with your last post?? I don't want to spoil myself so I'm waiting for the nightmare before christmas event to arrive on the eng server before diving deep into the wiki. But I HAVE to know; were there hints of Lilia joining in for a rerun or a sequel ??? Your big "OR IS IT???" filled me with way too much hope !! please tell me it wasn't a bit : (

there was a little teaser at the end that implied there'll be a sequel event, though we don't really know anything beyond that! I do think it's likely we'll get the other half of the cast in it, even if it's just wishful thinking on my part. 🤞🤞 NIGHTMARE SUITS FOR EVERYONE!!!!

as far as I know there's been no confirmation on whether it's going to be next year's Halloween event or a separate thing (the snow makes me think it'll be more Christmas-themed, or otherwise more related to the plot of the original movie) so. we're probably going to have to wait quite a while before we find out anything solid. :') they really do love just dropping these things on us and then watching us go absolutely wild with speculation while they watch like

Have I ever mentioned how smitten I am with the dichotomy between Saulot "I stayed by Caine's side until the the very end" and [Ventrue] "Caine's chosen grandchilder, advisor and enforcer of his will"? Because there had to be some overlap there. Even if there aren't any (as far as I know) explicit references to them being friends, (other than the fact [Lasombra], Set, [Tzimisce], and Nosferatu were the only named Antediluvians that disliked him on a personal level in Clanbook: Ventrue) they at the very least had to be mildly acquainted with one another you know?

For a long while, [Ventrue] served at Caine’s side, helping him rule over Kindred and kine in the gilded First City. As befit their baser natures, the others of the Third Generation grew jealous of [Ventrue] and his position, particularly the over-ambitious and cunning [Lasombra]. The dark one (as Caine himself called him then) could not abide even theoretical subservience to one such as [Ventrue]. Others resented [Ventrue’s]position as well: the foreign Set, the occult [Tzimisce], the vain [Nosferatu]. For the most part, though, the remaining founders respected [Ventrue] and Caine’s decision to elevate him above the rest. After all, no one disputed Caine’s wisdom openly in those nights. - Clanbook: Ventrue, p. 12.

Of his most loyal Grandchilder, they had to have had some kind of connection - even if it wasn't anywhere nearly as strong as the Saulot/Malkav/Set triumvirate was. One sought to serve Caine and his descendants by looking outward and one, per the Dark Father's personal request, sought to serve by protecting what was within.

Maybe. Maybe they just didn't have all that much in common, now that I think about it. For Saulot, the choice to stand by the Dark Father was just that - a choice. When he was ready to up-and-leave, he was free to do so.

But there had to be an immense amount of pressure for [Ventrue] to simply buckle up his Jesus sandals and Do What He Had To Do for his brothers and sisters because his Grandsire chose him specifically to aid him in such an arduous task. How is one supposed to say no to that? To balk at such an opportunity? Caine's aged wisdom was, at the time, undisputed and he was allegedly very good at the job hefted upon him. Who was he to go against that? Do you think that Ventrue lamented Saulot's wandering? The fact that he had that choice? That he was left to guide his wayward siblings alone? Did he not care and shouldered the burden on his lonesome?
