What is your personal favorite Diaz sibling dynamic you've written, considering you've played with all of the age orders and even a twin dynamic in a fic? Was it hard to go from the antagonistic/bigoted role Adrianna had in day by day to the more positive close sibling relationship she has in a fic like the blue house?

(sorry if this is a strange question, just something I was wondering about while rereading)

Omg no this is a wonderful question.

Adriana in "day by day"... the whole sibling dynamic in that is so incredibly SPECIAL to me because, in a lot of conscious ways, it mirrors the dynamic in my immediate family. Only I am the Sophia in everything. I will say that my story hasn't quite... ended as well (if we can say that) and the one with the Diaz siblings in that, and "day by day" in general will always be special to me because of the emotional work I put into writing it. Writing Eddie’s relationship with Sophia bloom and his relationship with Adriana fracture to a breaking point while my own with my middle sister (I'm the youngest) fell apart for something that isn't the same but is similar was... enlightening. Helpful. I've shared it with my therapist.

Now the Diaz sibling dynamic is so much fun to write because, in canon, we literally have NOTHING to base it off of besides names and the implication that they're around for Big Emotional moments (re: Shannon’s funeral, Eddie’s shield ceremony?). Besides season two, I'm 90% sure they're not even mentioned again until a throw away line in season five. We don't know their age gaps except that Eddie *can't* be the youngest. We don't know if he's the oldest or the middle or, as in "the blue house", if he's a twin. We don't know if they get along, if they hate each other, or if they're like a lot of siblings as they get older and grow apart... just sort of ambivalent. So I have a LOT of fun coming up with new dynamics for them.

As for my favorite to write... Eddie and Sophia in "day by day" will always be so special to me, and as much as it was heartbreaking, Eddie’s arc with Adriana in that series will always have a special place in my heart as well. I WILL say, the hardest "switch" was finishing "day by day" and writing "rewrite" where Eddie has an admirable relationship with BOTH of his sisters and is the middle child, rather than the oldest. I remember whining to a few friends about how difficult the mental switch was sometimes 😅.

The dynamic in "the blue house" was just *fun*, you know? I've never seen anyone make Eddie a twin before, him being older than Adriana by literal minutes was a fun little Easter egg for if I ever write a part two, and the division of Eddie and Adriana as a team, and Sophia being removed from their little world was... such a swap.

All of this is a longwinded way of saying... I don't know? I would hate to say "day by day" because Adriana and Eddie were so... fractured by the end. But I honestly think that one might be it. I can't help but read Adriana’s lines over, and Eddie’s responses (and even Buck’s in "almost home") and wish I could scream them at my own sister and get the response he did. Anger at first, and apology and acceptance that the relationship will never be the same, in the end. I look at Adriana and see my sister, and Eddie and see my *other* sister, and Sophia stuck in the middle (their "built in buffer") and see myself.

Please, ask me questions like this whenever you want, I LOVE giving into the ramble urge 🩵

The Half-Finished Heaven

Dejection breaks off its course. Anxiety breaks off its course. The vulture breaks off its flight. The fervent light pours out, even the ghosts take a drink.

And our paintings are revealed, our Ice Age studio's red beasts. Everything begins to look around. We walk in the sun by the hundreds.

Each person is a half-open door leading to a room for everyone.

The endless ground under us.

Water shines between the trees.

The lake is a window into the earth.

Tomas Tranströmer, tr. Patty Crane, The Half-Finished Heaven (Den halvfärdiga himlen, 1962), The Blue House: Collected Works of Tomas Tranströmer (Copper Canyon Press, 2023)

there’s something that’s incredible about the intersectionality and flexibility of werewolves as metaphor.

anger issues? werewolf. intrusive thoughts? werewolf. unresolved trauma? werewolf. rejection by society? werewolf. autism? werewolf. transgenderism? werewolf. queer expression of any sort? werewolf. plurality? werewolf. dissociation? werewolf. repression of any sort? werewolf. abuse cycles? werewolf. emotion so strong it physically changes you? werewolf!!!

really doing it all

I think Alfred is constantly dreaming about retirement but is shackled by the knowledge that he is the glue holding this barely functional family together

Alfred: sir I really don’t think

Bruce: why not. why should I not invest millions into funding a therapy corporation that Jason will ACTUALLY be able to trust

Alfred: quite honestly sir I think if it says “wayne” on it he’s 10 times less likely to go

Tim and Damian kicking the hell out of eachother rolling around on the floor: (unintelligible screaming, glass breaking, various cartoon crashing sound effects)

Alfred: (stares into batcamera like he’s in an office episode with several decades worth of exhaustion)

Demisexual? No, you misheard. I said Dummysexual. I'm attracted to that moron over there. Look at them. They just tripped over nothing and set the house on fire. I'm in love.

mdni - implied fat!reader x bluecollar!simon riley drabble - simon is a bit of a creep also lol

Bluecollar!Simon Riley whose house floods so he has to spend the next few days in a cheap, seedy motel

First morning there he's leaving for work just as the sun is rising. Its hot, humid, and he's a shitty mood because he'll be working all day and it's only gonna get hotter

Simon Riley who smokes a couple cigs before he goes, sitting on a plastic lawn chair on his concrete faux patio when he sees you

You're flustered, damp with sweat and skin sun-kissed. You've got a laundry basket on your hip and immediately he's imagining a baby there instead. His baby.

Simon Riley who's shameless about staring at you struggling with the laundry door, dropping your clothes and giving him a view of your wide hips and plush ass in very short pajama shorts

You're so flustered:(( nearly in tears while you pick everything up. The shorts are a little tight, a little worn, and the thin material gives him just enough of a view of your pussy that it sustains him the whole day :')

All he can imagine is coming back and sinking into you :') not even necessarily fucking right away, but keeping his cock warm and relieving the tension in his body. He deserves that, no?

He's not creeping, necessarily, when he takes note of the lotion you use. Vanilla. He just happened to be having a smoke and walking right by your window, where you've got one foot propped on a chair rubbing it into your skin.

Your room is tidy. Despite the stained walls, cracks in the ceiling and overall dingy-ness, you've managed to make it look cozy.

New sheets, a fluffy blanket, string lights strung across the wall. Beside you, lotions and creams and washes - he snorts a little to himself. The bathrooms here don't have any counter space or mirrors to set them down on.

But his house does. In fact, most of his shelves are empty everywhere. His pantry, his closets. The only thing he's got are work clothes and beers in the fridge. Maybe a stray heel of bread.

Simon Riley who decides he'll have you move in before he even talks to you, before he starts memorizing your schedule on the weekends and evenings he gets home. You're struggling, on the edge of homelessness, but he knows you'd be the perfect wife and mother. That you'd bring light and warmth to his house, fill those empty shelves and empty rooms...

Protecting Family

Hmmm

I'm on a Danny is Dick's child kick rn so I'm making more.

But lets add in some Ghost King Danny!, Dad to a deaged Ellie and Dan! And toddler Mar'i Grayson.

Danny was conceived during Dick's amnesia year when he was Ric and the woman couldn't find him to tell him (or maybe the Owls caught wind of the pregnancy and took her) and he ended up somehow (hmmm maybe a meddling time keeper?) with the Fentons.

Danny grows as a Fenton, he knows he was adopted btw, then becomes Phantom, protects Amity, becomes the Ghost King and things seem to be going okay between Amity Parkers and the Infinite Realms since they took care of the GIW problem, AND has been a good doting teen dad to his deaged 'cousins/clones' turned kids.

Danny was going to go pick his kids up from daycare one day when CHAOS happens. Just as he wrangles Ellie onto his shoulders, cause she wants to be tall today, and about to take Dan's hand cause he's and I quote "A big boy and not a baby like Ellie, Dad!" he suddenly feels the tug of his family being in danger.

Thing is, its a blood related danger. Meaning someone blood related to him was in grave danger, and by the emotions he can feel, its someone young, way younger than him.

Problem.

The only people Danny knows with his blood in their veins and are young enough for the feeling are with him.

So who?

But due to Danny being a protector spirit AND knowing the feeling is from someone as young as his own kids, Danny decides to use his Ghost King Powers to summon said person from the danger to him.

Danny opens his free arms out just as a tiny toddler with black hair like his own but with bright green eyes, even the sclera were green, in a ruined party dress drops from the sky from the summoning circle that had opened above him.

Danny stares at the terrified child, whose hands are tied by rope and was crying, and takes notes of certain traits she had that he saw every time in the mirror or on his own kids, same eye shape and cheekbones. He can tell his ghost core has claimed her as family but not as his kid though.

No the connection that formed was almost like his connection with Jazz but a bit stronger.

This kid, was his sister. His blood related one.

-Meanwhile-

Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing, and his family were freaking the fuck out.

Dick was already panicked when his daughter Mar'i had gotten kidnapped just a few hours ago by the Joker.

Now he was feeling pure dread when his daughter, who was about to be killed, was suddenly pulled into a strange glowing circle at the last minute and disappeared into thin air.
