#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#a-yuan#Ultimately...despite how hard we try to reach people - sometimes it just is not possible.#Sometimes all you can do is wish that things could have been different. You pen a note with all the things you want to say -#and then you let it go. The words stay unsent and unspoken. You just watch the rift between you grow until you're too far away to try again#It is a sad end! It is two people who want to be closer but do not have the right capacity to do anything but shut doors.#Worse yet; it's two people who feel it is not their place to try and impose anything more.#It takes so long to heal from endings like that. You never get enough closure when there is still a faint hope of 'another day'.#It's a false amicability. It's closing a door and telling yourself that at least the windows are unlocked.#WWX will keep up his friendliness as a way to hold LWJ at a distance. LWJ can only try to help so many times.#Speaking of tragedies of trying to help; Let's talk about the addiction metaphors in this episode.#WWX tells LWJ in fairly straightforward terms that he does not *want* do be doing ghost cultivation.#What he wants is to protect people - by any means necessary. If he had another option he would take it.#The path WWX 'chose' is one that is deeply mired in external shame and taboo. He jokes about it but it clearly doesn't feel great.#And I put 'chose' in quotes because just like many who find them selves in bad situations - the choice is an illusion.#He's adamant that this is 'his' choice. That he is in control.#Better to be villainized that endure the terrifying reality that you lack any ability to have choice anymore.#If he had the choice - truly had the choice - he would not be doing this.#You can't help those who don't want to be helped. So of course all LWJ can do is watch from the side. Offer a hand when he can.#This life was a tragedy and the countdown to it all blowing up started a long time ago...

Rereading the Our Worlds at War tie-in again and God I miss their friendship every day
#they're such an underrated dynamic from this series#like throughout yj98 there's a definite distance between tim and everybody else since he can't reveal his identity to them#and cassie is definitely way closer to cissie and kon and bart than she is to him bc of that distance#and you can feel that awkwardness here in the way she apologizes to him immediately -- they're not at the level#where she can just shout and be mean to him and know it'll be fine -- not like she is with cissie or kon#but for tim -- i think he is at that level? like he wouldn't shout at her either but that's cause he's generally sweet to the yj girls#he doesn't butt heads with cassie like he does with the guys - but i also think she's someone he trusts to have his back in a very real way#and i think it's really telling that when everybody was confronting him about batman's contingencies it was CASSIE'S opinion#he asked for -- like she was the last person he thought would think that of him#obligatory 'the two people who died in his granny goodness nightmare were cassie and kon'#idk there's such an undercurrent of care even if they don't get as many 'this is my best friend' moments like some of the others#aghhhh#and the way cassie so clearly respects his opinion and is so worried he'll be mad at her when she replaces him as leader#the way she's the first one to hug him when he comes back to the team after he quits#oof. OOF. they're friends they're friends they LOVE EACH OTHER#sorry everyone i'm getting all up in my feelings again that they're the only ones left after infinite crisis#tim drake#cassie sandsmark#dc robin#wonder girl#young just us#young justice#yj98#dc comics#cassie tag#tim tag#gnome talks comics

i have been unmedicated for the entirety of spring break and thus have had little interest in writing this down, but i have been thinking about this for the entire week (as well as a dpdc clone danny au that resulted in it becoming its entirely separate batman au that includes a teenage vigilante bruce wayne, an ocarina, and me entirely incapable of making a batman au without making bruce dirt poor but we're not talking about that) and so i've finally went 'fuck it' and forcibly grabbed my laptop. I will get this done in one sitting even if it kills me.
BUT. This is about neither clone^2 danny nor about who i am calling Ocarina Batman. This is about my Danyal Al Ghul Au and more SPECIFICALLY it's me thinking about his relationship with Sam and Tucker specifically.
Tucker and Sam? Adore this asshole (affectionate) with every fiber of their being. And it is very much a reciprocated feeling, but Danny's thoughts will not be delved into much other than he would kill for them.
Tucker? The only person currently capable of getting a deep, loud, belly laugh out of Danny. Sam can get him to smile and to laugh, but it's the kind that's a chuckle-under-the-breath. The quiet, looks-down-while-huffing laughter. Snorts once with laughter and then grins stupidly.
But Tucker? Tucker can crack a slew of stupid jokes and Danny will be incapacitated for the next five minutes because he's laughing so hard that he can't breath. He lands one well-timed pun or quip and Danny will be close to tears. His laughter is their favorite sound in the whole world.
Sam is lowkey jealous of this ability, and she's gotten a belly laugh out of Danny a few times. But alas, it is Tucker who wields this power and has gotten it the most times out of the two of them.
-
They're also both physically affectionate with Danny as much as possible. It started roughly around when they were 12-ish, a year since they befriended Danny, and they noticed that he sought after touch but never seemed to initiate (and was in some ways repulsed by it). They started slowly being more touchy with him. Hooking a finger around his to lead him somewhere, tapping his wrist, looping arms. Little touches, grabs, etc, to get him used to it, and once he started doing it back they started increasing it.
It's gotten to a point where he will now just. Lay on them. Like a lizard sunbathing on a rock. Leaning on their backs when they're sitting in class before the bell rings, his chin on their heads. He'll talk about anything with his arms looped around their shoulders.
If they're sitting on a couch at either of their houses, he'll lay his legs on theirs. Him and Tucker will press their feet against the other's and try and push against them (newsflash: Danny always wins, Tucker claims its the ghost strength but Danny's been winning since before his accident)
-
Naturally, both Sam and Tucker know where Danny keeps his weapons on his person, and are allowed to grab them off of him if they need it. His only requirement is that they don't lose his weapons if they take it and forget to return it immediately.
They both understand how big of a thing this is from Danny, and so they do their best to treat his weapons with a lot of respect and care because they know its his way of saying he trusts them.
-
Sam and Tucker are so fond of Danny it's insane. Like fr. That's their goddamn best friend, and they are so protective of him. Emotionally, physically, you name it. They will tear the head off a grown man if they need to, Danny's had scars since he arrived in Amity Park and Sam and Tucker both are going to find the person who put them there and make them pay for it.
One time, Tucker overheard a bunch of upperclass girls speaking nastily about Danny and about the rumors surrounding him, calling him names like 'freak', 'monster', etc. Danny was with him and heard it, and seemingly appeared unbothered by it, even telling Tucker that he was used to such rumors.
Tucker was so furious that hacked into the school system later that night and tanked those girls grades. They were kicked out of their clubs and had to go to mandatory tutoring for the rest of the year. He made sure to leave some way of letting them know it was him who did it.
And Sam doesn't like using her money for things, doesn't like abusing that wealth. So instead, whenever her parents talk bad about Danny, she causes a media incident that has her parents scrambling to deal with. She does something wild, outrageous by her parents' standards.
She heard some boys on the basketball team making fun of Danny once, similar to those girls had. She kicks up a fuss about something eco-unfriendly at school and forcibly holds a protest on the same day of the big home basketball game, forcing them to cancel the event and reschedule to a visiting school.
She anonymously donates money so that there's new uniforms for the team but oops! Looks like she "forgot" to donate enough money for them to get uniforms for all the team members, and strangely enough those boys in particular didn't get them! Looks like they'll have to wait until more money gets donated for the basketball team to get their new, nice uniforms. The old ones look so ratty in comparison, right?
And since the football team gets most of the sport money, that might just take awhile. And if (and when) they kick up a fuss? oops! Off the basketball team you go, :) such unsportsman-like behavior is unfit for the team.
(The only good thing about how corrupt the school system is is that she can use it to her advantage too.)
The both of them know that Danny suspects them for the sudden misfortune falling on these people, but he doesn't call them out on it. He's kinder than he used to be, but not kind enough to vouch for people who speak badly of him. Sometimes, he might just congratulate them on not getting caught.
Because Danny is their wonderful, hurt friend with a "slightly" Blue and Orange Moral code, and enough scars that people have been calling him a criminal (and worse) since he arrived in Amity Park when he was ten. And they'll be damned if he gets hurt anymore.

The way this still is giving me S1 Devon on the rollercoaster vibes - and if that is what we are getting then I am very intrigued and excited - because Buck struggled to deal with that loss - his first on the job - which parallels a bit with losing Eddie now and Buck struggling with that. But what I’m most excited by about if this is a parallel to that - is that Buck went to therapy - and ended up having sex with her (she took advantage of him but that’s not the thing here) - ill advised sex - sex that did not actually help him at all in dealing with his feelings.
But you know what did - talking to Abby on the phone - and you know who he can only talk to by phone (or video call) right now?!!
#so if the leaks are true and it is tommy at the bar - the nit stand to reason that Buck is gonna hook up with him#to continue the parallel#that hook up is gonna be a bad idea - and actually make things worse for him - compound his trauma a#maybe reveal a few truths hes not ready to look at or deal with#and then he will spiral out more#but he will talk to Eddie - who has always been a sounding board for him (even if he’s only confessing to the hook up with Tommy)#and we have a full parallel to a key part of Bucks s1 arc - one that set him up for his search for love - set him on the path to meaningful#relationships and not hook ups#there’s also something in the idea of really getting to know someone over the phone or video call - and how it can deepen a relationship#and how the distance between Buck and Eddie will ultimately bring them closer together#It would be sooo good!#plus if they do go this route - the fact they will have brought Tommy back to be an ill advised hook up that actually makes his spiral worse#showing how much of a plot device that man is - so so good - top level trolling Timothy - top level!!!#911 spoilers#911 speculation#911 abc#evan buckley#eddie diaz#buddie

Some Athena thoughts and headcanons for the ‘Diomedes goes to Ithaca AU’
Headcanon that Athena moves around completely quietly (like how owls hunt). So, Telemachus meeting Athena for the first time he gets the shit scared out of him. Diomedes by now knows the tells of Athena being here (and he has the magic eyes) so he’s the one basically warning Telemachus if Athena is in proximity
Telemachus: are you even listening???
Diomedes staring intently at the dodgy looking owl (Athena) in the tree: …yeah
Athena is very much still cool aunt. But I wanna characterise her as a little more mischievous (which could be interpreted as cunning ig) than she probably is in the original mythos. She keeps a close eye on both Telemachus and Diomedes. Most specifically Telemachus! While she cannot reveal to him that Odysseus is alive directly (she cannot incur the wrath of her uncle just yet), she does help him in starting his little Telemachy. It helps boosts his confidence and helps reassure him that maybe his father is alive. HOWEVER, the sudden disappearance of Telemachus causes the stress meters of Diomedes and Penelope to exponentially rise. And Athena finds this a little funny, so she still withholds the information from them.
Telemachus: Athena… sometimes I wonder if father is dead :(
Athena in disguise clenching her fists to try not reveal anything: … he’s too stubborn to die, have a little more faith in him
Athena:
Athena: Hey, I have a great idea if you’re worried about your dad
-
Penelope stressed out of her mind: WHERE IS HE???
Diomedes equally stressed: I DON’T FUCKING KNOW?.?.????
Athena: *eating popcorn knowing she’ll make sure Telemachus is safe*
Athena is keeping this family very blessed. She is the patron goddess of both Odysseus and Diomedes, and I like to imagine maybe in a more subtle way to Penelope too (I mean… she’s smart, beautiful, AND she can weave???). She’s much closer to Telemachus in this AU than in the original Odyssey, but not like in the way of EPIC?? She keeps her distance from him nonetheless bcs she’s a god and whatnot, but him being close with Diomedes, I imagine Athena has more of an excuse to be around Telemachus growing up.
Telemachus: so.. you knew my father and Diomedes growing up?
Athena trying to act nonchalant, but she’s so proud of them both: you could say that
#the odyssey#athena#diomedes#penelope of ithaca#penelope#telemachus#odypendio#Diomedes goes to Ithaca au#these are probably ooc of them and tbh this IS just some ramblings but there is a level found family I wanna emphasize#even if it is out of character for Athena#I do want it to be closer to the Odyssey than Epic though#as much as I love how close epic!athena is to epic!telemachus I do want there to be a certain distance that Athena keeps#she can’t incur the wrath of Poseidon just yet and all the ways she needs to help Telemachus (and EVENTUALLY Odysseus) needs to stay hidden#btwww the whole god games conclusion thing doesn’t happen in this AU#it’s the main thing in the wisdom saga I’m not fond of bcs Zeus isn’t that flat of a character#at least imo he isn’t#whatever not the point of this post! Zeus rants for another day#deadbaguettesrambles#deadbaguettes au

The concept of Keith "moving on" because Lance would have never given him a chance makes me so mad because, BITCH you didn't even TRY.
He kept running away from the team and Lance, he is the one that made that distance, not Lance
Now he has to see in longing Lance and Allura together, well news flash emo guy, you let that happen
#klance#voltron#i feel the spirit of lance McClain possessing me while writing this#keith is the one who left the team#when they were getting closer#keith is the one who kept his distance from lance when coming back#he is the one who told lance that he chose him in the game show because he didnt want to be around him#and only starts being nice to Lance AFTER he is already dating Allura#thats a tragedy of his own making#keith kogane#lance mcclain#'Lance would have chosen her' you made that choice for him#being mad at Keith is a recurrent theme with me#or more like mad at how the fandom talks about Keith and Lance

when they havent known what personal space(with each other) is since the beginning
#I was reading a post about the s2 screenshot where they were saying like wills seats slowly getting closer to mikes#and it was some headcanon about how they just do it bc they cant stay apart LOL but also so true LMAO#but that one picture reminded me of this s4 clip-#specifically the distance between normal friends and lack of distance between best friends...#anyways lol#would this be a parallel? probably unintentional but neat nonetheless#btw for the s2 pic there was no need for mike and will to be that close like you can argue for the shot but even then theres another clip#where theres some distance and everyones still in frame so kinda unnecessary especially when theres a whole foot between lucas and dustin#but whatever im not the one blocking them lol#byler endgame#byler

That one episode from Teen Titans where Raven's emotions get split into diffrent people except it happens to Vox and all the emotions are acting as expected except for Love.
Love, who's expected to be loud and boisterous, is timid, shy, reserved and always always surveying his surroundings like an animal that's just been put in a cage for the first time. Love acts like everything Vox isn't. Hesitant and dead silent even if asked a question.
Yet the thing that's noticed the most is that Love seems to be terrified of Alastor.
Alastor walks into a room and Love just bolts out of it. While the other emotions deliberately engage in arguements with Al. Acting just like normal Vox would, Love stands in a corner and glares. Staring daggers till Alastor tries to confront him and then he's leaving the room again if he thinks Alastor's getting too close. Sometimes it feels like Love is afraid of everyone unless it's Velvette.
I don't know about you but my favourite types of fics are 'make up fics'. And I would just love for Alastor to think back on his arguement with Vox and realise maybe he should've just been that bit kinder. He shouldn't have said the things he said, hurt him the way that he did because now there's a part of Vox that's standing right in front him and it's scared of him.
#But my hurt/comfort brain can't take that so Alastor and Love probably talk it ouy#Love and Alastor get closer and it goes from love being scared of him to never leaving his side#He just quietly follows Alastor around#But other people make him uncomfortable so he's at a distance if Alastor's talking to someone#Alastor's trying his best ✨#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel vox#hazbin vox#staticradio#hazbin alastor#hazbin hotel alastor#alastor#vox hazbin hotel#voxal#vox#radiostatic#staticlovetune#Another episode of “more story ideas I'll never write”

A comparison of two scenes
Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 16 // Ep 38
#mysterious lotus casebook#feihua#dihua#its the way ep16 is so one-sided compared to the mutuality of ep38#unlike the censored BLs where drinking on the roof signals the men getting closer LLH is outright denying and#trying to distance himself from FDB (even before he decides to continue investigating SGD's death)#he looks at the moon wistfully and smiles sadly and says ''I've been there before''#is he thinking about the moon on that night? about the person he was at the top with?#and when he's with DFS he doesn't brush him off. he hears him say ''the wasn't as bright then'' and says no#''the moon was just as bright''#now when the previous misunderstandings are solved and they drink wedding wine together -> the moon is just as bright
