Do you have the video of him saying love when the fan helped with the wrist thing? I’m not remembering this

i have a terrible memory, he says 'babe' not love, but same vibes imo, if not even moreso. cause 'love' is more of a british thing, so you'll see/hear people using it more casually, vs i don't see dan howell calling strangers 'babe' often

[disclaimer i don't own this footage and am not profiting off of it]

transcript:

fan: "to me?" dan: "yep, to you--the other way babe, no--"

cosplays but only the fucked up and unrecognizable ones like seven soaked in his own blood with chlorophyll green eyes and a rose with heartbeats growing out of his shoulder. eight with a gaping wound and a cavity in his chest. father kreiner.

The Doctor: Everywhere I go I see this woman's face. Kate: Maybe she fell into your timestream, like what happened with Clara. The Doctor: She told you about that? Kate: More or less. She talked in her sleep. The Doctor: Right. The Doctor: The Doctor: The Doctor: Hold on!

OMG do you remember when George was born and the Midds came to visit him at the hospital. Only Carole spoke to the press, if I remember correctly. I've always felt Catherine's nervousness to speak in front of the public endearing but even more so because I know she got it from him. Shyness is a trait I generally find sweet so it's a shame that most people seem averse to it or seemingly want to shame it out of those who have it.

I do! I was round the corner at the time haha. One of my most British traits is I love awkwardness in people. I don't trust people who are too confident lol. I'm always that person making forced eye contact and nodding and encouraging people when they do talks in meetings and seem nervous. I've had many times when people thought I had strong opinions but I was just nodding to encourage them lol. Public speaking is always listed as one of the biggest fears people have so it's totally normal, but she still gets up and does it. And the counterbalance is she is so much better at small talk than I am! Everyone has different strengths and I personally find it more relatable when someone is trying hard at something they aren't good at than when they're just naturally great at everything.

Jason Todd

Give Me a Character

How I feel about Jason? I love him. He's my boy. He's a martyr. He's a cautionary tale. He's always been doomed since the day he was born. The very universe itself conspires against him because readers wanted him to die. So he dies. Again and again, in every universe, he dies, and he fights, and he tries to make the world a better place, and he wants to be kind, but he is doomed, always, every time, even when he comes back. It's tragic, and I hate what they've done to him, but without it, he wouldn't be the same person. He wouldn't be my blorbo.

JoyFire (Jason Todd x Roy Harper x Koriand'r) is my OTP for this guy. And I will say it out loud, I also enjoy JayTim and JayDick. I like JoyFire because it's like… the family you choose. Each of them has trauma about getting left behind in some sense. So they'll never leave each other. Even if Jason's a jerk sometimes, he will never, ever leave either of them hanging when it matters even a little. And they're the same for him. I like JayTim because Tim thinks Jason is so annoying, and Jason thinks Tim is so smart and capable, and so there's a little bit of pining in there? Especially in the opposite way one would expect by looking at them. But Tim knows that Jason's smart, and I kind of ignore a bunch of the ugliness that happened right around Under the Red Hood with them, to be honest. Not completely, but some of it. I think that Tim can admire Jason's ingenuity and persistence even when he's rolling his eyes at him, and I think that Jason thinks so highly of Tim, even when he refuses to ever say it out loud. And as for JayDick, maybe some of it is just me smashing my favorite dolls together. I freaking love Dick Grayson. Who doesn't? And I freaking love Jason, and they have a complicated relationship, but they love each other, whether you want it to be brotherly, friendly, or romantic. They love each other, and I'll take that in any flavor I can get it.

Non-romantic OTP is also Jason and Dick. You cannot tell me these two don't share the braincell when they're in a room together. But also, they can be hyper competent together. If they're both motivated and working together, they can do anything. Including building a heated roof pool out of cardboard, a carbon metallic alloy, and a "borrowed" shop vacuum.

(Also gotta mention that I adore father-son pair Bruce and Jason. The two of them are just so wonderful together, how Jason brings such joy into Bruce's life and Bruce just wants Jason to heal and realize his dreams, ah!)

Unpopular opinion about him? Willis was a good dad. [lifts a megaphone] Willis Todd was a good dad! He was a victim of a broken system and turned to crime because it was the only means he had to provide for his family! Any time he laid a hand on Jason or Catherine was still unjustified, but it was because Willis was a deeply frustrated and scared man who had no system or room to handle his negative emotions or feel accomplishment in his life! [puts down the megaphone] Domestic abuse is never okay, and that goes the same if a woman is the abuser. But Willis was not an asshole, he was a poverty-stricken petty criminal with the most minimal support system. He loved Jason, and he loved Catherine, and he tore himself up to do his best to provide for them all the way to the end. His story is a sad one, he was not the villain, and I hate it when people say Jason is better off without him and didn't mourn him or feel bad about his death.

There's a lot of things I wished hadn't happened to him in canon, but most of all, I hate what Zur En Arrh did to him.* It was absolutely terrible, and then the fact that nobody was left to give Jason any support at all after the fact because they were all chasing Zur really gets to me. The way that one panel just showed him trembling, so small, alone, asking anybody at all for help…. It breaks my heart. Because it's always like that for him. He ends up alone, on his own, because he's the black sheep and he's mad about it, and he defends people who others leave behind. And it breaks my heart in a way that actually very truly makes me sad. Because there are people who think he deserves it. Including the writers.

Okay but would Kate ever get around to beating Jeff's ass? Ik she can't bc Ben and not being allowed to kill Jeff or wtv but if there was a scenario where it was allowed or maybe there wouldn't be any consequences for her, would she absolutely destroy that asshat?

yes. absolutely. toby does beat jeffs ass for nina (before ninakate happens), and BEN just thinks its funny because Jeff ended up completely fine. jeff was just limping a little the next day, nothing he cant walk off - which means bens laughing at him for it. BEN only gets pissy if jeff is so hurt he can't hang out (or dies, ofc)

if jeff tried going for nina AGAIN, kate would be on his ass in a second. the only issue is, she will kill him if nobody stops her. and then ben wont think that is funny . . .

it would upset nina, though. she can hate jeff all she wants, but she doesnt want kate (or anyone) tearing him apart

TLDR: KATE WOULD FUCK JEFF UP GIVEN THE CHANCE

This is going to be very unpopular but Benophie > Kathony any day

I mean… fair. Everyone is entitled to their opinion ofc. Tho I do find it super bizarre that every other official ship on Bridgerton has had a photoshoot and not Kanthony, makes zero sense and it doesn’t seem fair at all.

Let’s talk anything Bridgerton related from theories to opinions: Ask me anything

[officialkatekane]

I mean why is your cousin so antisocial and standoffish.

...excuse you??

He's one of the most wonderful, sweet, kind and compassionate people in this world and you do not get to insult him in my presence.

He has the right to his privacy as much as any other person and you don't get to call him any names for that. He went through many, many traumatic events in his life and he still puts on a brave face everyday to be in the public eye for no reason but to advocate for charities and good causes.

If you had been through half of what he has you wouldn't be able to do even a sliver of what he has accomplished.

Do you have any idea how much kindness and positivity he spreads? Even when life has been horrid?

And for what- for some nobody to insult him and call him 'anti social and standoffish'??

You better hope I never find out who you are or you have something coming your way.

[belleandsaintsebastian]

omg have you guys ever sat on the bedroom floor of someone you love and looked up at the walls and felt like you were just surrounded by all these wonderful parts of them and their life and like. never wanted to leave bc ME TOO

[katescribblesabit]

What is the lake 👀

My lovely Kate hi HI HI! Thank you so so much for sending in an ask! 💕💖

Okay… but I might ask you avert your eyes cause it’s -

PERO T LAKE MONSTER FIC LMAO

I made a monster headcanon post here & I knew one day I wanted to maybe knock them all out and write them (rip to me)

But the Pero option has just been bugging me so much recently and I still stand by my declaration that he is such a good lake monster candidate!!

He’s reclusive, a bit harsh, lurks and seems to be stuck in his ways (stagnant water like a still untouched lake) and I want to capture that along with the vibes from the ever iconic creature from the black lagoon

Plus grumpy lake creature who becomes intrigued with you, the human living nearby just screams Pero lol 🌿

[sergeant-angels-trashcan]

Okay friendo no more holding back ghost x Kate x price are very similar to bucky x Kate x Steve in my head in the way that Kate falls for them separately in very different ways. One of them is broody and deadly efficient and thinks he shouldn't be loved for all the damage he's done, prefers a mask to separate him and thinks the best thing he can do for the people he loves is to push them away. The other an authority figure with the weight of the squad and the world on his shoulders, a good man who makes mistakes and pushes himself and everyone around him past their limits in the name of good to the people of the world. Thoughts, questions, concerns? (In every and all scenario Kate realizes she likes people by going 'oh no they're HOT' and then jumps out a window to escape the situation)

SCREAMING SCREAMING SCREAMING I should NOT have checked my asks on the way to the time clock rip me. if up til this point you've holding back i am SO EXCITED for unhingedness to run free

the thing is. i don't think she would be surprised she's into Ghost. because that makes sense, he's this giant wall of a sniper, that's not a stretch. and she's always willing to give people a chance. she's also capable of laying him flat on his ass. So there's a level of safety he feels around her?

I think she'd be more self-aware of her feelings about Ghost. I also think he takes his shirt off and Kate is like FUCK he's HOT but she can deal with that she's fine but then he takes the mask off at some point and it's a double whammy of trust and oh NO he's BEAUTIFUL. And she CAN'T climb out a window after that because he'll think it's his face! And it is his face that's scaring her away but not for the reasons he would think!! She wants to escape her feelings so bad and she can't!!!!

She splits the difference by climbing on his shoulders, playing with his hair, and kissing the top of his head while he tries to make them tea. (is she basically petting him and calling him pretty boy? i mean. yeah.)

Price, however.

Kate would look at Price and go "I admire his leadership! I appreciate how he treats his team and goes to bat for them, etc! maybe it's not quite admiration. it feels a little different than normal!" because it's horny. that's the difference.

look. okay. here's the thing. i do not think she has dated people who allow her to realize she is a switch with a competence kink. and a little bit of an authority kink. price is one of like...three people i could see her getting a little subby for. And it wouldn't start out sexual, it would be in regular life. maybe it happens after some off-planet young avengers bullshit where someone tried to assassinate teddy and kate is just frazzled and on edge and her sleep is all fucked up.

Things get to be Too Much and he asks for 10 minutes where she doesn't decide anything, she just does what he tells her to. And it's such a display of trust!!! Price is fucking floored when she actually agrees to it. it's simple stuff, like sit on the couch and drink this bottle of water. Split this candy bar with Gaz. Take off your shoes. Close your eyes, take five deep breaths.

(yes i'm writing it)

all this to say, i think her attraction to price would completely blindside her. to the point where someone else has to point it out to her. Maybe not even seriously, maybe Soap or Gaz or Clint or Billy or Loki are like lol haha sure been staring at Price a lot! you got the hots for PRICE?!?! ha ha jk!! and Kate realizes she DOES. The next time they look over at her they see her vanishing through a window. or climbing in the ceiling.

I don't think she would know how to handle being into Price! She's awkward but not her normal brand of awkward. She's running into shit and not paying attention and pointedly not looking at Price, to the point where he's trying to figure out what he did to make her uncomfortable (did she realize he's attracted to her? FUCK.) And he either. Asks her to come to his office so he can figure out what's going on, or they get locked in a closet together by Ghost.

If he calls a meeting with her, it's so funny because they are both thinking the same thing (hot desk sex) and trying so sososo hard to NOT think about that so then they think about going down on the other in that nice desk chair which SHIT is also not helpful! Fuck! if you asked either of them what they discussed they could NOT tell you

Basically, Ghost is the only one with any damn clue here. He would introduce the idea of it slowly to Kate. Starts talking about Price when they're having sex. Encourages her to return a text while he's eating her out. Takes calls with Price while they're having sex. Slowly building up to Kate letting Ghost take pictures of her/them while or immediately after fucking. Eventually they do a video call. Price is going to break something. Ghost is like fucking FINALLY, he KNOWS they will be good for each other. And honestly two of the best people he knows that he trusts with his life being vulnerable around him? Praising him? Telling him he's good? He's not a fucking saint! Of course he has ulterior motives!! (Kate: your ulterior motives are wanting to be called a good boy? That's the least greedy least sinister thing I've ever heard. Stop thinking you're a bad person for doing this)

I ALSO don't think Kate can handle seeing Price clean shaven or even with his beard trimmed. Like yes he's attractive with his full on Price beard but he turns into a smokeshow the moment he starts to tighten it up. She has no behavior around him. She hates doing the obstacle course and her fastest least bitchy time was when Price was told to trim his beard by a higher up. Kate saw him and immediately went OH FUCK and BOLTS. also thinking about them having to go to ground together and of COURSE he has to shave, the beard is too memorable and they're trying to not be found, so kate offers to shave him! BECAUSE I AM A SLUT FOR THIS. she's sitting on a bathroom counter, shaving him with a straight razor, and price is so caught up in Being Pampered that it takes him a minute to ask kate WHY she has a straight razor???? and she's like oh! :) well obviously it's a weapon. haven't you seen sweeney todd? now, i've never killed anyone with a straight razor. i have stabbed some people. not with this one, don't worry! and price says "i don't think i want you this close to my neck anymore (he's fine. mark him down as scared and horny, that's all)

The thing is Kate's friends and teammates will see a picture of the task force to see her boyfriends and they'll be like "ok!! I can see it" and then Ghost and fucking Price walk in and they're like what the FUCK, why is it the TERRIFYING ones??? We thought it was going to be the cute ones!!! And then of course Kate is like the FUCK you say, are you saying my boyfriends aren't cute?? Ghost is SO RED under the balaclava. Price laughs until he has to stop Kate from lunging.

please say more to me about them, i am insane over them

[thegamingcatmom]

You ask and you'll receive..

So this you probably have told me already, but remind me: what is it about the Denali sisters that interests you so much? 😏

Oh wow, that was fast. 😅

But I THANK YOU greatly for giving me an opportunity to gush and fangirl. 🥰

Well I mean, first the obvious: They´re hawt. 😏

Then there´s the fact they´re a little bit over a millenia old. (Guess I´ve always been into older women, lmao.) That´s just so mind-blowing! Like, can you imagine the things they must´ve witnessed? All those inventions that changed our world forever, the great wars and tragedies, the people they´ve probably met and so on.

Conversations with the sisters would be so fascinating! The stuff they could tell you which probs sounds like a fever dream, but it´s actually real because they were there. They saw it happening. That´s just-

ANSFÖLASNFDANSDF

It´s a good thing that time is something they got loads of, because I´d ask them SO many questions. They´d have to frequently remind me that-

"Honey, you´re adorable, but it´s been weeks and we need to feed...and so do you."

LIKE-

AM SORRY BUT YOU´RE JUST SO FASCINATING. 😭

Then you´ve got their personalities, which are basically the total opposites of the Cullens, lol. Like, it´s just so funny because, remember at the wedding in BD Part 1 when Kate was so friendly and, dare I say, tame when she went like "We´ve heard so much about you!" to Bella? Even her voice was different, all high-pitched to make her sound as non-threatening as possible, lol.

Then we see her "true" self in BD Part 2 where she was basically threatening Bella with zapping Renesmée to get her to work that shield of hers. And I mean, that´s just Kate, right? We know that now - she loves to live risky (well, risks that don´t involve the Volturi, lol). All the sisters do, I reckon. Or at least Tanya and Kate probs. Irina is more the silent bystander, watching proceedings with equal parts amusement and disappointment. 😂

Anyhow, MY POINT IS: They´d be fucking hilarious to be around. They´d be so chill and carefree because they don´t see the need to hide their true self like the Cullens do. Probs because they don´t see the need to "blend in" in the first place. Like going to school and some shit. Hell nah. They mostly stick to themselves, except for the times they need something from the local stores, like interior deco or something.

*looks pointedly at Carmen*

We also know most (or some) of the Cullens are ashamed of what they are, or feel like it´s a curse or something. The Denalis are the complete opposite of that yet again, at least that´s how I HC it. Perhaps it´s the age and they just got used to the idea by now, because what else can they do? What´s the point in moping around all the time about something you can´t change anyway? You gotta make the best of it. 🤷‍♀️

*looks pointedly at Edward*

(Wisdom does come with age, after all.)

So yeah, I think they´re defo able to see the benefits of eternity rather than focusing only on the hellfire aspect, which the Cullens seem to be in the belief of. Like, believing they´re gonna end up in hell simply for being what they are, yknow. I mean, I don´t judge them for their beliefs or anything. They were born in different times, so ofc they might see some things differently. But I also think the Denali´s age has kinda made them more...receptive to other beliefs and ideas? When you witness the world changing/adapting over and over and over, you´re bound to develop a certain "attitude", I imagine.

Which, again, their age just makes it so fascinating because they´ve probs witnessed The Bible being written or something, lol. Perhaps they were looking over the one or other shoulder going like-

"Yeah, that´s not what happened dude." LMAO

(Just kidding ofc. The Bible was written way before the sisters were even born, but I think it´s hilarious to imagine it, lel.)

And again, THEIR AGE. I just can´t get over it. Like, all those historical events they´ve probs witnessed???

The Viking Age

Christianity in Medieval Europe

Holy Roman Empire

etc.

yes, I totally went and googled "historical events around 1000 AD" and I highly recommend it because history is fucking fascinating, especially imagining the sisters having witnessed some of it

PLEASE. 😭

I mean, tbh, I could go on, and on, and on, and on, and-

What´s not to love about the sisters? About all of the Denalis, actually.

So, lemme summarize it as followed:

To the Denalis, the glas is always half full probs. Wouldn´t you want to surround yourself with such positive mindsets? 😉

Thanks for your ask! 💋💋

[suitsusboth]

i’m glad you’re not entirely abandoning i looked to the sky and begged! if i remember you said you really wanted to explore the sharma family dynamics which was really not explored or resolved well in the show ?

yes! that fic is going to have a lot of POVs— I’ve already written and Mary POV which i previewed a part on here. i’m fleshing out all their backstories (which has been so fun) to kind of make sense how they all got there. i find the Sharma family so interesting bc i think they’re so realistic. they all have their flaws (even kate!) I think where we left off post-wedding there is so much potential for how all their relationships are going to go moving forward
