Grindeldore Headcanon #10(more of a 9.5)

Albus actually never loved lemon cake or lemon candies that much. He liked the taste. They were fine. But he was never that obsessed over them as Gellert thought he was.

But he always got so happy when Gellert brought him some. Not because it was lemon candy, but because Gellert brought it. He felt like the candies tasted better when Gellert was the one that got it for him.

So in time, he had grown to like lemon sweets more. He loved how something sour can be yet so sweet. He also loved how Gellert always had some for him. Just because he thought Albus loved them so much.

After that summer, lemon candies never tasted that good. But Albus started to like them more. Because then, he realised what he loved about the candies.

They tasted like loving Gellert.

Sour, yet sweet.

And eating them was just like remembering all the things they did together that summer. All his memories with Gellert.

Sweet,

And yet sour.

Sometimes I feel like celiac disease doesn't actually count as a disability since it's so easy and stress free compared to deadly allergies, but then I remember that I have to meticulously plan every trip I go to and play 4D chess with uni campus restaurant menus and for a brief moment there was genuine consideration if I should be put on growth hormones because I was so small from not getting enough nutrients

I sometimes think about and ponder on how Bruce is such an overprotective yet mostly well meaning parent towards Dick. Yet Bruce is also the type of parent who fails to realise that their kid has grown up and can look after themselves and doesn’t need them for protection and guidance anymore. 

Dick and Bruce are both control freaks but for different reasons. Bruce is a control freak because he thinks that as long as he is in control of the situation that means he can protect the ones he loves from harm or losing them altogether. Because when his parents died he had no control over that. He felt powerless that he couldn’t do nothing to prevent it. Even though he was just a helpless little 8-9 year old boy who could do nothing but stand there watching helplessly as it played out before his very eyes.

While Dick is a control freak for the opposite reasons to Bruce. He needs to stay in control of himself and not let others tell him what to do and values his freedom his independence if that makes sense. All his life even with his own parents he was excepted to do as he was told, like how most children do. He wasn’t listened to in his own mind he felt responsible for his own parents death depending on the version it was because he didn’t tell them about stranger threatening Mr Haly or in some tellings he wasn’t listen to by his parents. He had no one to turn to really and much like Bruce he was just a powerless little boy. Who nobody truly heard, Dick Grayson to the world was just a child and therefore had no voice.

The only person who truly heard Dick’s voice was Bruce Wayne who saw himself in the young boy and knew the only way to save this boy from becoming like him was to get him his justice and put Dick Grayson parents killer behind bars. He became like a second father towards the young lad, family, the dynamic duo crime fighters of Gotham. Which is why Dick was able to heal and move on mostly from the loss of his parents because unlike Bruce. He had someone to fill the void that was lost when his parents died. Bruce Wayne the Batman because like a father to him a second father, in a way he was Dick light shining hope in the darkest part of his life. It’s so important to Dick development as a character and without it he wouldn’t be the same person he is today and it’s also so important that Dick time as Robin was a pretty happy one as well.

Both Bruce and Dick saved each other just by becoming each other new family. Bruce didn’t need anything from Dick all he needs from him is to just exist to remind him why he does what he does.

So imagine the hurt Dick must feel as a young adult. That his second father who heard his voice and listen to him all those years ago. Is now not listening to his voice really anymore or respecting his decisions as a young adult a man in his own right. While it comes from a place of good intentions. Dick cannot help but feel he is still seen and viewed as just a little boy by him and the crushing feeling of never truly living up to his expectations and the shadow that the Bat casts onto him. When will he ever be good enough to finally be taken seriously by him as his own man. Dick coming of age story is about finding one self in the world and crafting out his own legacy and what being a superhero means to him and him alone.

While it wasn’t Bruce intention, he did in fact put pressure onto Dick even though he doesn’t want him grow up to be like him. He values him so highly and he is glad that he grew up to be a much better man than he will ever be. He loves his surrogate son so much but with that comes fear. Like any parent he cannot help but worry for Dick future and the decisions that he makes as an adult and he will state his opinion on what he thinks of said decisions Dick makes in his life. He didn’t approve of Dick dropping out of college which caused some tension between the two of them for a good bit.

I always found Batman #330 original released in September 11th 1980 really interesting because of how Lucius fox and his son Tim Jace fox comes into play in that story Bruce compares himself to Lucius while Tim to Dick and how he cannot understand why would in he in Bruce’s eyes be throwing away his future. So when Bruce is talking all this nonsense to Tim he wasn’t actually speaking to Tim rather it’s the things he wanted to say to Dick.

Dick probably understood at that point that this was never about Tim or the thugs rather it was about Bruce who took out his own frustrations with Dick by projecting them onto Tim and the thug members. The themes and parallels to a father that being Lucius and his son Tim to Bruce and Dick within that comic book story makes it so painfully clear to me. It was about a Father who was upset with his son life choices for his future and only wants what is best for him even if he isn’t going about it in the best way possible.

The biggest hurdle for Dick and Bruce relationship as surrogate father and son is miscommunication and how the other isn’t willing to listen to the other. Bruce is the parent who always think he knows what is best which is not always the case which leads to him fighting with Dick all the time because he is blinded by the idea that his adult son might know better then him and stubbornly refuses to budge on that for a stupidly long time.

I’m curious about the onesie now

also @pizzaplex-stargazer cuz you noticed too!

here's what Moon was rocking before Clip started making clothes:

after their PizzaPlex went under, the DCA bois had to figure out a lot of things, one being: clothes. unfortunately, Moon's really big, so he struggled to find things that fit him and were comfortable. the onesie is the first thing he found that fit him and made him feel really cozy. so he still wears it at home (he prefers comfy clothes at home anyways) when he needs a pick-me-up.

of course, he can't work at the salon in a bunny onesie, so here's what Clip made him (under Sundrop's direction):

Moon does prefer comfy clothes, but he has to admit, sometimes he likes the attention these clothes get him. he's iffy about them though, he feels that they show too much of him and he prefers the specific kind of comfort that comes from being an amorphous bundle of coziness.

Thinking of vlr Akane is so conflicting cuz on one hand I’m so upset that she doesn’t ever get a moment to just rest and enjoy being alive again I’m upset that she just gets deeper and deeper into this role she’s built for herself and she loses her humanity and will never ever be that girl who died in the incinerator. But on the other hand, I need her to get so, so much worse I need her to be so obsessed with perfection she has this unique ability to change the course of history and she will burn everything and everyone to the ground in the blink of an eye if it means she can "reset" and get a perfect timeline and I desperately need her to never be satisfied with anything because really, is there anything that’s worth all the damage she’s caused?

I chuckle seeing how sometimes Yuji be punching Sukuna back into walls, bringing him to the ground on his knees or back, etc, like Sukuna's big ass weigh nothing.

And I wouldn't even say this is just him using cursed energy. Nah, that is that raw strength.

Welcome to another wild late night post guys :] !

[thelov3lybookworm]

isn't it so funny that someone you've never met could have such a deep meaning in your life?

i never do this, ever, but i just had a very visceral reaction to this situation, and i just need to let it out.

I had a mutual (lets call her C), who I sometimes talked to on a daily basis. I didn't even know her before I joined a friends group of another ex mutual, and I noticed some people were being passive aggressive towards C, and I started talking to her, and it took off from there.

She was so kind, so funny, she was just... her, and I loved having her around, because she was the friend I always wanted, the friend I never had. The sister I'd always wish for. I'd always have the biggest smile when I talked to her. She just had to come online, and I'd have to stop myself from spamming her.

There were some things she never talked about, and I never wanted to push her to talk about it if she didn't want to, and for the time, I was happy. Now, I feel like it's one of my worst mistakes.

And then, one day, she just.. deactivated. every way of connecting to her was gone, and I was just left so confused, so concerned. I was so worried for her. constantly, I would wonder what she was doing, wonder if she was doing something to harm herself, and I'd always wonder if I should reach out to her ex, who was the only way I could inquire about her.

Now, every time I see a person in my notifications that has her name in the URL, or even the same profile pic she used to have, I get so excited, like maybe she's come back, and I can finally tell her how much I've missed her, and then... nothing.

Usually, every time someone reblogs something of mine, I reblog it back, so I can always, always have their thoughts on my blog. I'd made some posts for her, moodboards, stories involving her favourite characters as a present for her birthday, and i have all those posts on my blog, all her reblogs. it's like a little something I have left of her, because these are the only remnants of her on tumblr anymore, and I sometimes go back to laugh at our posts, the way we interacted.

today, I was rereading the story I had written for her, and I was so excited to reread her thoughts about it, but when I went to check the reblogs... there was nothing. Because maybe I had forgotten to reblog the post from her again, detailing how she felt about the story< and now, another piece of her was lost. I couldn't help but stare at the screen, then, with that realisation, feeling dejected, feeling so lost. I just... she was my friend, and now, one of the only things to remind me of her was gone.

And I miss her, so, so much.

there's no real reason I made this post, except that maybe, if there are any of you out there, who think that you're not good enough, not cool enough, or whatever, if you ever think that no one would miss your presence if you left, that is the biggest lie your brain can tell you.

tumblr, other online platforms, or real life, there will always be someone who misses you <3

things i've said while playing through Caleb content during CALEB SEASON (LnDs v3.0 pt.2) with as little context as possible:

“gravity manipulation is just one of the most fun superpowers out there tbh— AGHCK LOOK AT HIM HE'S SO COOL”

“he can cook???? wait. Xavier, I'm so sorry—”

“ohhh.... he's fucked up ☺☺🫶🫶”

“he's so weirdly compelling. if he were a real guy though i would've kicked his ass.”

“LET'S GO LIAR LET'S GO”

[yelling at MC] “you shOULD KICK HIM IN THE BALLS, SWEETIE”

“oh. hm. am I becoming a Caleb girlie?”

“childhood friends to something worse??? HECK YEAH.”

“sshhh...my toxic baby boy is speaking!”

“I DO SO LOVE ANGST.......”

[PUT INTO PLACE, TIED DOWN AND ARRANGED, AND IS NEVER THE SAME, AGAIN.]<-listen to my favorite songs. VAMPIRES ARE WONDERFUL ARENT THEY. THE FLESH IS SO MUCH MORE DURABLE. SO MUCH STRETCHIER THAN HUMANS. THE STRESS DOESNT KILL A VAMPIRE THE SAME WAY IT DOES A HUMAN. YOU CAN TAKE THEM APART THREAD BY THREAD AND LEAVE THEM WIDE AWAKE WITHOUT WORRY OF THE BRAINMATTER SPOILING UNDER VINEGARY AGONY.

I know everyone loves talking about Katniss and Peeta being affectionate in everyday life and mirroring her parents, but I also go crazy about them being affectionate and Peeta realizing he has a safe home filled with love unlike his parents. I just imagine him remembering his parents just tensely being with each other and contrasting that with him and Katniss who are always touching in some way and greet each other with kisses and hugs.

no because throughout the first two books he’s so physically affectionate to her (even though i’d assume this isn’t learned behaviour from his home) can you IMAGINE what it’s like when they’re safe and living together and in an established relationship? when he realises that she enjoys and takes comfort from his affections??
