DP x DC Prompt #73

Cass hadn’t had many allies while she was in the League. Not really. When you’re training as a child assassin you learn very quickly not to trust people. And she hadn’t. Not until she met Danny.

Danny who no one but she knew was there. Danny who had her back when it mattered. Danny who aided her without her asking. Danny, who helped her escape. Danny, who she hasn’t seen since she got out.

But he’s here again. He’s here and he’s hurt. And she will do whatever it takes to save him. Because she loves him.

do you ever just think about how amazing it is to, like, exist? like, holy shit. i am a person and i exist in a world that contains, like, libraries and rollercoasters and sunsets and swings and fanfiction and tea and oceans and parks where i can literally just sit on the grass and watch other people's dogs playing for hours. i know there's a lot of stuff out there about "toxic positivity" or whatever and i do understand but also like i am so relentlessly, obnoxiously in love with being alive and i think you should be too, if you can.

I'm on episode 9 of EOM rn and I can't get Farryn's Sin Dream out of my head why is no one talking about it I'm going insaaaaane

[dollypopup]

I don't go here, but the dialogue

"I have sinned." "I do not wish to hear of it."

is so overwhelmingly funny out of context? like this feels like something me and my best friend would say to each other. the meme format of it is impeccable

me: I have sinned my weary mutuals: I do not wish to hear of it

Francesca Bridgerton has SAD

This new season of Bridgerton has been absolutely amazing with Polin, Eloise scenes, Violet being Violet, and, of course, Francesca Bridgerton. She is such an interesting character to me, and extremely relatable to many people. She has become my favorite character in the franchise due to how much I relate.

I think everyone agrees that she is an introvert, it's been confirmed by Julia Quinn and everything. Having her social battery run out, enjoying solitary activities such as piano forte, being overstimulated by crowds, needed time to herself, preferring to be a wallflower, sitting in companionable silence ect. She is very different from her sibling, and it's refreshing to see an introvert in the Bridgerton family.

One thing I couldn't help but notice is the anxiety she has when she's social. Now someone isn't necessarily neurodivergent or has a mental health issue if they're an introvert but there is a higher likelihood because of how many signs overlap. Francesca is a character that I've noticed many people, introverts or nuerodivergent people especially, relate to. I honestly think it's amazing! But I haven't seen many people talk about the clear signs of anxiety she has.

She fidgets a lot in social situations, avoids eye contact, anxiously follows social situations until she's told by someone it's okay to take a break or to go play piano. Avoids being social but will mentally prepare herself if she has to go to events. She wants to be done with these situations as quickly as socially possible, which we see when she leaves multiple balls early. There are so many signs but the biggest one for me is the faces she makes.

Hannah Dodds has done an amazing job showing the rich internal life of Francesca. The faces she makes show clear thought and internal dialogue without any of it having to leave her mouth. The anxiety she has before meeting the queen and having everyone look at her, the panic when she is surrounded by multiple suitors who don't follow her practiced dialogue (they went off script!), the relief when she finally has time for herself and can get away, the nervousness when she's dancing with a suitor because if she messes up everyone will see and judge her. All of it leads me to believe that she is a very socially anxious person.

All in all, I see her as an introverted person with Social Anxiety Disorder and relate to her so much because of it. It's something more people should talk about. When we see Social Anxiety on screen or in TV it's almost always someone who never leaves the house or has a panic attack when people start talking to them. It's almost always portrayed as debilitating and generally becomes the personality or quirk of the character. There definitely are some people like that but SAD is often fairly functional. We can go to social events, talk to people, be in a crowd, ect.

A lot of the time an underlaying anxiety throughout the interaction and you have an internal monologue telling you to not to mess up. To avoid judgement. Asking if this is okay to do? Do i look weird doing this? Are they laughing at me? When is it okay to leave? Can I go to the bathroom now or is the timing weird? Am I making eye contact too long or too little? Can i find somewhere away from people? Most of that stays internal but it can have few outwards signs. Things like avoiding eye contact, or figeting, making a face, trying to find a way to escape a conversation. All things we see Francesca do. It's so nice to see a mild form of social anxiety on screen for a change. Someone who can live their life despite the anxiety and is so much more than just their disorder.

Even if you don't agree with me and you think she's just an introvert, or she's shy, or she's on the spectrum, or anything else. I find it amazing how many people see themselves in her. That she can be seen in so many different ways, and have so many people love her without being a loud or gregarious person. She's quiet and has a rich internal life, and so many of us love her for it.

I think it’s a little convenient for the plot that Usopp falls for this ruse, but I feel like the desperation to be useful and get the key for Robin’s sake could overrun Usopp’s sense

I've seen people say "hell in hazbin doesn't even seem that bad..."

Sure, hellaverse hell isn't torture in a traditional way, but it's a place that pushes you to continue your miserable life and constantly give in to the darkest temptations because they're all around you. It's a place where you can never get better, where you can never escape the cycle you got stuck in during your life.

Man, Jester and Fjord are so awkward together here because they’re so nervous because they don’t know how to be. And Jester is teasing him, because she’s decided to be his friend and he doesn’t know how to talk to her anymore, because their relationship has changed. Anyway.

“Fjord, you’re being really awkward with me.” “No, I’m not.” “Yes, you are.” “I’m disarming you.” “You’re being so awkward with meeeee.”

It’s such a cute exchange. 

But there’s also the layer where Fjord is aware that she used to have a thing for him and he’s starting to be more aware of his feelings while also not being sure how to react to the fact that she might not have the feelings and they just want to be friends, but they like each other and it’s a whole thing.

Was anybody going to tell me that Bruce/Weiss/Victor are a threesome in the official Justice League/RWBY comic or was I just supposed to find out by reading all 14 issues myself?

also thinking about the parallels between jayson and lizzie, and how jay's caught in the middle.

both blame each other for ava's death, but internally both blame themselves. both are pushing their loved ones away out of grief.

both are about to fight a war out of a misguided desire for revenge/"justice."

jay's still caught in the middle. to both of them, she's just a reminder of their failure. the sister they wanted, they couldn't save.

Yasmine and Lilith both being from families with strong ties to their respective orders yet having very different relationships with their status as legacies.
