there's something about the fact that charles said he never finished reading the myth of orpheus and eurydice. he references it and yet he never finished it. he looked back, not out of fear but because edwin needed to be seen. he got edwin back. they made it out of hell. he never finished the story. he is not orpheus and edwin is not eurydice.

#soda speaks #something something subverting the genre expectations simply because you dont have the ingrained idea of following them #as you can tell i am very normal about them #dead boy detectives #dead boy detective agency #orpheus and eurydice #edwin payne #edwin paine #charles rowland #payneland #paynland #paineland #painland #dbd #dead boy detectives spoilers

There’s not enough people talking about how important Stephanie is to Damian’s growth pre-Flashpoint.

Bruce had seen Damian as a beast to be tamed, Tim sees him as a ticking time bomb, and Dick is far better with him but he’s still an authority figure for Damian to combat with. But then he meets Stephanie, a college-aged girl who nobody trusts and he bullies her relentlessly and becomes inseparable from her.

She doesn’t interact with him based on his past, but on what she can see. This 10 year old just threatened to kill her? Wow he doesn’t get outside much. He’s not old enough to have seen Gremlins. What do you MEAN you’ve never been inside a bouncy house before we are fixing that immediately.

They are like cousins to each other. They poke fun at each other for being lame and stupid and Dick has to tell them both to shut up. She doesn’t see him as a project to be molded and redeemed, he’s just a kid with a crappy childhood like her and if he’s nice to her for 5 seconds she’ll do something with him to let him feel like a kid. And he doesn’t look at her and see a liability or a failure or a lost cause, like everyone she’s ever interacted with does. When he’s awful to her, it’s because he’s an obnoxious preteen boy.

And then you get the “there’s room in our line of work for hope, too” scene. Because Damian has gotten to know Steph and he can’t fathom why she’s here. She obviously has had to deal with crap and is still working through being kept on a leash by Nightwing and Oracle, but she isn’t broken like the rest of them are. Damian is surrounded by people who were molded and shaped and torn down and broken to become the monoliths that they are, and then there’s this girl who seems so at peace with herself and is constantly making quips, and it’s so foreign to him.

And she tells him that she’s in his world because she believes people are worth fighting for.

#Batman #damian wayne #stephanie brown #robin dc #batgirl #batgirl (2009)#Batfam #Batfamily #dc comics #batman meta #batgirl (2009) is my favorite comic I’ve ever read can you tell #I just love how Stephanie and Damian are so removed from everything when they’re together that there isn’t any hierarchy between them #they each have some sort of hierarchy and Expectation around literally everyone else #but with each other they’re just peers #they can work together and fight together #they can hate each other and be bickering the entire time #but they evaluate each other based on what they see #Damian sees a goofy but determined woman who doesn’t look at him like he needs fixing #and Stephanie sees a violent kid who clearly hasn’t had a childhood but is trustworthy in a fight #and they just. interact based on those factors and nothing else #and it’s so beautiful for them both #and you have the whole ‘fatgirl’ and ‘when did you start stuffing your suit’ comments from Damian that suck #but weirdly I find it comforting because it implies to me that Damian is feeling some stuff that’ll tie into puberty #and he lets himself (albeit in a very uncomfortable and harmful way) feel those emotions and express them to Steph #like it’s very stupid and so early 2000s and frustrating #but I think it’s a little charming how it’s another example of Stephanie sort of being a vessel for Damian to experience normal feelings #even if he ends up being very Damian about it

Lili is exploring gender stuff in this (my transmasc Lili headcanon :])#she's still going by she/her at this point but that probably will change #Raz also has gender stuff going on but will not figure any of that out for a while. too focused on psychonauts stuff at the moment #also (again). sometimes I forget what they look like normally and start drifting off from that when I draw them..#Raz has kind of little eyes and they're lower on his face. I always forget that when I draw him..#Lili. your eyes are so big and far apart like a horse. and your head is so wide. stop that #outfits #<- I mean. sort of

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.

It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.

#mental health #mental health advocacy #like... anxiety and depression are often concieved of as simple and easy to manage...#...but that isn't the case for so many of us. anxiety and depression just have a lot more research invested into them...#...and while i wish this were the case for literally every other condition it does alter people's perception of you to some extent...#...so while this is NOT solely about anxiety or depression it includes us...#...my anxiety and depression and PTSD have *destroyed* my life. this is chronic and will probably be life-long...#...and that isn't my fault. i've done the fucking work but guess what? that doesn't account for the fact that I Am Just ILL #the least we can do for each other is to be compassionate #be compassionate to those who cannot heal. be compassionate to the people who can't manage their lives. this world is scary enough #recognize that management of symptoms is something not all of us can do - even IF their condition is labeled as 'easy to manage'#i allowed myself to feel angry that i can't heal 'normally' and that was unfair as fuck toward myself #and i NEED people to internalize this so that MAYBE this could help somebody else who is where i was #i NEED them to understand that it's okay that they are where they are - sometimes shit just doesn't turn out how you expect or want #don't beat yourself over you being a person. you are struggling enough. you deserve to rest. just rest please #and just... give yourself space

Remember when I said the Grassland!Sylus childhood friends/arranged marriage/soulmates AU was at around 4.6k words?

she grew and I still have like three scenes I need to finish writing, but instead of doing that, I kept writing new scenes and...I think I lost control of the story and my life (╥_╥)

So I'm posting another snippet, because...my brain is tired and I really, really, really want to finish this by Sunday because I have another AU wip that I'm also obsessed with I mean I need to finish part 3 of that other Sylus breeding kink fic I promise it's coming

Reminder that this story will include light breeding kink, pregnancy kink, smut, body worship, gratuitous usages of terms of endearment ("my bride" and "my beloved"), Sylus being grossly in love with you, basically lots of fluff. Anyhoo...

The following morning you were lazing in the field as the flock of sheep grazed peacefully all around you. The warm sunlight had you yawning, already feeling yourself being lured by the tempting sun into drifting back to sleep. As the time passed, your eyes felt heavier, and you nodded off a little. Another yawn escaped before you decided a few minutes of rest wouldn’t hurt. Slowly, you closed your eyes, letting them rest for a few minutes. “Is this what you do when I’m not here?” You immediately opened your eyes when you heard Sylus’ approaching voice. You let out a soft surprised squeak when he knelt down next to you, his face looming just mere inches from yours. He was smirking. “Lazing around and sleeping? What if your sheep gets stolen by wild beasts, my beloved?” You glared at him. “I was not sleeping. I…was blinking.” “Your eyes were closed for far longer than a blink should be.” “I had some dust in my eyes.” “I’m quite sure I heard you snoring.” You blushed and shoved his face aside, glowering when he started laughing at you. “Did you come all the way out here just to tease me?” “Mmhmm,” he answered with a pleased nod as he sat back with his legs propped up. His elbow rested on top of his leg while he cradled his chin in his hand. You noticed in his other hand was a wreath crafted from leaves and berries. Your heart quickened and you gasped softly. You looked at him expectantly. It was at that moment that you noticed the dark bags under his eyes. You crawled over to him and he sat back, allowing you to settle in between his long legs. You reached up and touched his face. “Did you not sleep last night?” you asked him worriedly. He simply smiled and shook his head. Without a word, Sylus placed the wreath on top of your head. You reached up and touched it tentatively as you looked at him confused. “I wanted to finish this for you,” he explained, smiling, “Just as I had thought. This suits you.” “R-really?” “Mmhmm,” he hummed again, nodding. He leaned in to steal your lips. “You look beautiful.” “Sylus…” You could feel your cheeks warming up as he spoke. “Now everyone will know you are mine and I am yours.” You felt touched by his gesture. Without thinking, you threw your arms around his neck, surprising him into losing his balance. Sylus laid on the grass with you on top of him. You grinned and kissed him happily. He looked up, gasping softly when he saw the sunlight had formed a radiant halo behind your head. How…ethereal... He smiled, his hand gently grasped your chin, his thumb brushing over your soft, trembling lips. “We are already promised to one another,” he said, “but if I may be presumptuous, I would still like to ask.” You looked down at him confused. “My beloved,” he said, voice soft and sincere, “will you be my bride?” You stroked his cheek, and as you leaned down closer to his face, your wreath tilted on your head. “What do you think?” He smiled. “Your wreath is going to fall off.” “You’ll put it back on for me, right?” He huffed in amusement at your audacious question, but he nodded. “Yeah,” he said, reaching up to fix the wreath for you, “I will…my bride.” For that brief moment, you felt like your heart had stopped, and then you smiled again as you leaned in and kissed him, feeling his strong arms wrapped around you and holding you close to his body. “This is my vow to you, my bride” he said, “There is only you in my eyes. In this life and all of the lifetimes afterwards, I will always choose you.” “Same for me,” you answered, gazing back at him fondly. You stroked his cheek, letting yourself drown in those passionate crimson eyes. “I will always find you,” you promised, “In all of our lives together, I will always find you and choose you, my love.” Your ardent words beckoned his lips to yours, and for the rest of the day, you lay together under the warm morning sun on the grassland, lost in your own world of bliss.

#love and deepspace #love and deepspace sylus #love and deepspace x reader #sylus x reader #x — fanfics ⋆ wips #can i just say #my average word count is typically around 2-4k words #not #whatever has been happening lately with the sylus fics #this is not normal behavior for me #the sylus brain rot is an outlier and should not be giving people any expectations of me #（┬┬＿┬┬）#but i am lowkey excited about this fic #so i will try to finish by sunday #ಥ‿ಥ

Idek what this is but here you go 🤲

#tfw when you have a doodle idea and it turns into a whole drawing #just a silly little thing #about her being much smarter than people expect her to be and how knowledge (?) isnt about knowing the most out of a book #its about the experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them #and she’s had so many unspoken experiences but people don’t get it because she can’t put it all into words #so there’s the contrast between her messing up saying “don’t patronize me’’ and then her iconic quote ‘’you can change’’#and then some silly symbolism to go with it #hi guys I’m very normal about her I promise #cassandra cain #dc comics #batgirl #dc #batman #batfam #batman fanart #batgirl (2000)#art #my art #Bing’s doodles #using a normal pallet < using either black and white or the most blinding colors possible

Thinking about Fallen London as a backdrop for the theme of the horror of the inevitable today. I know it's The Classic Cosmic Horror Thing, but it's really woven through all aspects of Neathy life even as the PC is written powerful and capable: the constant backdrop of breath-holding for the Sixth City, the Masters and the Bazaar as a force higher on the Chain with a plan that cares not who it tramples, a ton of the Destinies aside from the LotN ones, literally anything to do with the Dawn Machine, the Flukes...the thing that changes you irrevocably could be around any corner, could drop at any second. Everything else, every other story told, is either dealing with that or written in its shadow. Sometimes the game lets you deal with it by fighting back, with the message that even though you can't hold a candle to all of it, you can change some of it and that's enough reason to try. Sometimes, the game lets you deal with it by getting drunk off your ass with a dozen rats and stealing a painting or something of the sort. Both are honestly such valid ways of dealing with The Cosmic Horror Of It All, as is just rolling out of bed every day and complaining about the weather, and the spread of each that the game's writing has is I think what's made it stick so hard as one of my favourite pieces of horror media despite only about 20% of it reading like horror.

#fallen london #keeping my oc rambling to the tags #part of why i like this theme so much is that when pushed farther it chafes so much with who Hallowrove is #the number 1 way they deal with something unpleasant is through constant acting and momentum #and when it's something too big for them to do that about the number 1 way becomes ignoring and avoidance #but they *can't do that* when the horror is reaching out to touch them and their friends #it forces them to cope by beating their fists against something so massive and inevitable #they can't even contemplate fully what they're doing without the dread setting in #or else freeze in the face of it #i think they've changed though，I've realized today，from being exposed to it #they almost expect the horror now #they're not doing any *less* about it but it's easier for them to accept that it's there in the periphery #and they can look at it almost sidelong now #instead of either ignoring it completely or fixating on it #was rereading some older stuff for them today and it's interesting #seeing how the ways they react are super in character still but i can see the change from now to then #I like horror. i think it tells a lot about a character in a short period of time how they react to that #anyways. uhh don't ask about why I'm thinking about the horror of the uncontrollable rn i am normal and fine i prommy

The world if people stopped applying their understanding of "conservatism" and "religion/christianity" through a very modern, deeply American view onto Death Note (a manga from the Early-mid 2000s which is very much set in the cultural and societal context of early-mid 2000s Japan and all that entails):
