I want the managers of Mattel and MGA doll drops and the descendants writers to lower my coffin into the ground so they can all let me down one more time

Hmmm

Wanna know would be a fun prompt.

So you know those stories where Danny goes all eldritch on a Gotham Rogue (mainly the Joker) after he attacks someone Danny cares for or him.

What if, instead of Danny, it's a deaged Ellie and/or Dan. What if Danny was hit by that one device that Vlad hit him with during that one DP episode where his powers were shut off for like 6 hours or something similar.

Basically Danny can't use his powers, he gets captured by a rogue, maybe it's being live broadcast or streamed, his tiny toddlers are there or while being babysat see the livestream/broadcast and decide to go save their 'Mama' from the 'baddy peoples'.

The Bats and Birds get there just in time to see a (or two) tiny toddlers demanding the 'baddy peoples' to give them their 'Mama' back or else. The Rogue laughs and says back like 'and how do you plan to make us?'

Then the child(ren) go full on (tiny) eldritch beast mode and takes everyone 'bad' out like it was nothing. (The cameras glitch out the moment they go eldritch so no one outside the room sees it happening)

Danny unties himself (he's been tied up so much he learned how to undo them even in his human side) or is untied and runs past the Bats/Birds ignoring them as they try stopping him and runs to his kid(s).

Here's my controversial opinion; if you're trying to write Bruce as a non-abusive, good parent, you should also write him respecting his kids' privacy, boundaries, and not stalking&surveying them.

characters in this show having emotional outbursts would be way more impactful if they weren't constantly crying and shitting and having breakdowns over every ant they see on the pavement every 12 seconds

Quick re-do of a 4 year old piece

[bastardraccooon]

Jason loves it when you play with his hair. Your fingers tangled in his soft blonde locks, gently tugging at the strands. If it was up to him, he'd want your hands on his head 24/7.

You guys are hosting a movie night for your friends and he's sitting on the floor next to the couch you're on. Your hand finds his head, fingers itching to ruffle his hair and pet him like a dog. But someone asks you to pass the bowl of popcorn and Jason feels the absence of the warmth of your fingers. He tries to be patient, to wait for you to start petting playing with his hair but he's getting restless already. What's taking you so long? You're busy with the remote, fighting with Leo and Hazel, trying to figure out which movie to watch. Nope, can't wait, won't wait. Jason tugs at your hands, looks at you with those pleading eyes. How could you be so cruel, meum cor? And how could you? You toss the remote at Leo, let him pick whatever crappy movie he wants. Jason's hand is already guiding yours back to his head.

Jason Grace is a simple man with simple needs; you playing with his hair happens to be one of the most important ones.

pouring one out for luo binghe in my disciple SQQ fic, poor guy has taken a backseat here. we're nearly 30k words deep and he hasn't even shown his face once. it'll be much longer before he even actually talks to Shen Qingqiu.

(i say im pouring one out but in reality im sitting in my director's chair chewing on a cigar and wearing a beret as he tearily and unsuccessfully pleads with me for more scenes with Shen Qingqiu)

psych reiterates its thesis statement constantly. in between the lines there's a line of obscurity. i've heard it both ways. learn how to bend. the idea of duality and paradox, 2 contradictory things being true at the same time, is embedded into every aspect of the show. it infuses the characters themselves, who all contain contradictory qualities and behaviors, and the shows premise, about a con man whos lying so he can be allowed to uncover the truth. most importantly it shapes all the shows core relationship dynamics: you think shawn and gus are opposites but really theyre the same kind of crazy. lassiter's horrible people skills need juliets unabashed and sometimes too intense friendliness. shawns the first man we see wholeheartedly respect juliets intelligence but also fundamentally disrespects that intelligence through his lie (and that doesnt negate the fact that he loves her!). the characters are only able to grow when they embrace this duality and learn how to discuss, address, and navigate it together.

shawns relationship with his dad is not separate from this. 90% of opinions i encounter on henry fall flat because people insist on either making him Worlds Best Dad or Irredeemably Monstrous. he is neither. he exists in between the lines as a 3-dimensional and complicated person who loves his son deeply but has also caused his son a lot of hurt because of his own unresolved character flaws. at the start of the show, shawn is not ready to see this. he engages with henry, and all the real damage his flaws have caused, one dimensionally. critically, though, when shawn is confronted by his dads 3-dimensionality, he decides to embrace it. slowly, and over time. but he still embraces it. let me be clear: this is value neutral. even takes that try to acknowledge both "sides" seem to miss the fact that the point is not weighing his actions against each other and deciding whether henry was a good or bad parent. the show isnt making a statement on abuse or proving that actually henry was the best ever dad this whole time and shawn was wrong to be hurt. embracing the complexity is simply the only way shawn can grow and heal as an adult. how they can both grow! theyre never going to fully put certain patterns of behavior behind them either, bc thats how parent child relationships are irl: existing in between lines, with a whole lot of mess and duality. but they are able to move forward and evolve, like every character dynamic in the show does.

also psych is a comedy so most of this is done for the bit. a masterclass of tv writing frankly. 10/10 no notes.
