#anyway. thinking about them.

[crimeronan]

most of the time i don't subscribe to the "i don't have any control over my OCs, they just do whatever they want in my brain" theory, because i DO have quite a lot of control over my OCs, i make a lot of conscious thematic choices about who they are and what they look like and what they prioritize.

however.

the one thing that has been Haunting Me for Months, which i did Not intend, was when i was experimenting on picrew with what "their best / most ideal selves" would look like. in a world where everyone was happy and healthy and had no barriers or hangups about living the exact life that would suit them best.

devin, who in the canon is a cranky, chronically exhausted genderqueer person who's too miserable to shave or take care of themself, had clearly been living a mostly-binary life as a trans woman who'd been on E for years.

and nova, who in the canon is a hyper-feminine cis woman with frightening taste in men, was a super butch transmasc dyke with top surgery scars.

devin wasn't That surprising. but nova FLOORED me.

i'm 100% sure that somewhere out there is a universe where devin and nova are in a happy, healthy T4T relationship. and i'm sure they also have two or three biological kids together because they're both the kind of people who would enjoy having a family, if they were their best selves.

meanwhile in their canon, nova is a horror villain, devin is a miserable shell, and their relationship is so sick/awful that it's hard for me to write out the details here. bc of the number of trigger warnings i'd need to slap on. soulmates as horror, soulmates as ruin, soulmates as violation, etc.

the specter of happy T4T devin/nova has been haunting me every time i write their interactions. i'm like wow. it is Amazing how much none of this had to happen to either of you.

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

something that drives me insane on a relatively regular basis as a body jewelry understander is talking to people who have sensitive skin who are like "oh well I just can't wear any earrings without my ears getting inflamed" and I say "well what have you tried" and they say "well I've tried sterling silver and I've tried gold..." and it's like. ok. I don't know how gold and sterling somehow got spun by the jewelry industry as being especially good for sensitive skin but whenever I'm like "well have you tried implant grade titanium" they're always like "no....... but I've tried sterling silver... and it didn't work ..." like. I don't know how this narrative about sterling silver somehow got so strong but when they put pins in your fucking legs when you snap your leg in half are those pins made of sterling silver or are they made of implant grade titanium or surgical steel????????? HELLO. HI. YOU MIGHT BENEFIT FROM TRYING IMPLANT GRADE TITANIUM I AM JUST SAYING

Newly Robin Tim: Thanks for bringing me to my appointment, Dick

Dick, regretting not being closer to Jason but still avoiding Bruce as much as possible: No problem

Dentist: Timothy?

Tim: *goes back*

Dick: *chilling in the otherwise empty lobby*

Dentist: Hey, Dad, are we fine with using fluoride?

Dick: *barely 21, only 9 years older than Tim*

Dick: I— uh— I’m not his— I’m not dad

Dentist: Oh, sorry about that! I’ll just see if he has in the past, no worries!

Dick: okay

Dick, internally: Do I really look old enough to be his dad??? Does she think I would’ve been a teen parent???? Is she surprised I stayed????? Am I a GOOD dad???????

sometimes i randomly remember how insane maggie stiefvater was for making ronan lynch—a man that can create reality—a man of god, when he himself is a god of a man. then to take this man and have him be not only in love with, but a literal soulmate of a man named adam. parrish. adam parrish. who, mind you, lives above ronan's very own place of worship. and is the namesake of the first of mankind that the bible says god made from the literal dust of the ground (adam parrish: comes from nothing, hair "dusty" in color) and appoints him to care for the garden of eden (adam parrish: sacrifices himself to ronan's sentient forest). then has adam viewing ronan as a god and ronan saying "maybe he dreamt (created)" adam???? like who just fucking writes that and goes about their life?
