Hey there! Do you perhaps have more Tempest and AJ stuff? Maybe some headcannons? You've planted worms into my brain
But wait, theres more!!
#basically the story goes#after the visit to the kirin village#aj kept in touch with autumn through letters and their romance slowly began to develop#after a while autumn came to ponyville because she never really ended up reacclimating to her village#and she wanted to learn more about ponies#applejack invited her to stay at the farm and things progressed from there#for aj and tempest#after the events of the movie twilight still wanted to keep an eye on tempest#and tempest still had a lot of anger for the way she had been treated by the world#so twi was like “hey aj do you want to help her work through her lingering rage through exercise and manual labor”#and aj was like “YES MA'AM I'LL TAKE THE HOT CHICK”#and proceeded to flirt with her for the entire time she was required to be on the farm#and then once her time was up tempest was like “you know... i could stay-”#and there ya go#tempest and autumn werent dating at first but that changed after a few months#art#digital art#mlp#fanart#mlp g4#mlp fanart#my little pony#mlp tempest shadow#tempest shadow#mlp tempest#tempestjack#autumnjack#tempestblaze#?#if tempestjack is a rare ship that one us even rarer

many things about the chronicles of Narnia made me irrevocably insane at the small age of six years old but one of the big ones was the bit in prince Caspian where caspian blows susan's horn to try and summon help and it summons the pevensie kids like. that's crazy ok. that's insane. imagine at 12 years old you're given a horn thats purpose is basically summoning divine intervention & then years later someone blows it and summons YOU . I'm crazy !
#for me the thing i think about most wrt narnia is like. becoming a legend. the prophecy kids thing goes pretty basicstyle in the first book#but once u get to prince caspian ur dealing w these 4 people whove basically fufilled the prophecy but their lives arent over!!#both on earth and in narnia theyre figuring out what it means to live past the end of their own stories#& not just the conclusion theyve also lived past the happily ever after thehve had those entire lives as prophecized kings and queens n now#they just have to be people! it makes me a bit crazy#did you know wwii was an event that affected many people and showed up in lots of literature at the time in small ways.#cleb talky#narnia

I just found your Itty Bitty Au and I have to say, I love how you've written Perry and the other fairies to be... just a bit selfish? How Perry won't consider turning Dev into a Fairy- not because he doesn't really care about him or thinks there's a moral issue with it, but because if he turns Dev into a fairy it'll negatively effect HIM. Also, super excited to see more of Timmy (both)!
Fairies are not like humans in that they have “Good or Bad” morals. Fairies, by nature, are extremely selfish. They don’t care for human conflicts, human goodness, or human morale.
A fairy’s first priority is doing their job right for their court, and their second priority is doing what they want most. Selfishness is innate for Fairies as Compassion is innate for Humans.
Cosmo and Wanda are outliers in that they care about their godchildren to an emotional degree. It’s what made them the best fairies to be godparents!! Peri… doesn’t understand that quite yet.
Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]
#fairly oddparents#fop#fop a new wish#fop peri#fop dev dimmadome#fop dev#peri#dev dimmadome#asks#itty bitties fop au#FAIRIES ARE INHERENTLY SELFISH. IT THEIR MOST BASIC TRAIT#COMPASSION IS SOMETHING THEY MUST LEARN#cosmo and wanda loves timmy turner!! but their love is entirely selfish!!!! peri wants to be a godparent!! for selfish reasons!#another reason timmy fits so well as a fairy is because their selfish ways of living doesnt bother him. he's JUST as selfish as they are.#hazel could never become a fairy she's too kind too empathetic too too human.#peri likes being dev's godparent! he wants to make his kid happier!! but its not for the same reasons a human caretaker would have#not to worry though. peri will slowly learn how to be compassionate as the story goes on!!! prolonged exposure to humans will do that to hi#(also if ur confused about the gold floating around dev)#(thats the wishes dev has inside of him. that he's not verbalizing out loud)#(aka: uncollected fairy food)

"haha Bepo is the weakest co captain!! He's a big baby that cries!" ya, and that's why Law has him as co captain. Law has lived such a violent life of seeing people that care for him dying and being used for others personal gain that having his most trusted man be a person that hates to hurt others, is a bleeding heart of care, that seems to really respect Law's choices and orders is perfect for Law. The others in his crew are like this, but not to the level of Bepo which we need to realise is why Law wants around him
#one piece#trafalgar law#bepo one piece#op bepo#trafalgar d water law#I'm here thinking about the fight between the heart crew and blackbeard#How bepo used a huge power up to not fight but save Law#And how Law basically just had his dressrosa acr in the story#meaning he can not fully appreciate the fact Bepo and his crew are looking out for him just because they like him#we know (but is not fully canon) from the short stories Law thinkings Bepo follows him because he saved his life#but now he can see that bepo can literally just leave him but chooses to stay with him out of love#same goes for the whole crew honestly#and when that fully sinks in for him it's gonna make his heart so light#Law loves them and they love Law he can finally let himself feel that#but it might take a bit since he's just letting himself feel that when it comes to Corazan

PLS PLS PLSSSSS keep talking about kids with olympic athletes! gojo and nanami pls pls pls i have to Know. everything u wrote about yuuta was already so so cute
(prev olympics au here)
the gojo twins are hilarious because your baby boy looks exactly like satoru, but has very little of his personality—it seems like the only things he inherited was satoru’s love for sweets and love for you. still, even though he’s a strong swimmer, he much prefers to relax in his floaties alongside you if you’re also in the pool, or chill by your side on a lounge chair, glasses too big for his face keeping the sun out of his eyes as he shares his smoothie with you, and asks to borrow your phone to take pictures of his sister and daddy in the pool.
your baby girl on the other hand… she might have your face but she’s got satoru’s everything else—his competitive streak, his confidence, and definitely his mischievous nature. she’s the one who tiptoes into your bedroom at five in the morning, tapping at her daddy’s shoulders, and putting her little finger over his lip to shush him before he can wake you up; she’s always the one to convince satoru to take her swimming the backyard at the crack of dawn, and why by the time you and your baby boy wake up, she and satoru are already past warm up laps and swimming lessons and onto who can make the splashiest canonball competitions (she always wins because while her tiny body can endure a belly flop, satoru’s years of training physically doesn’t allow him to do it… and maybe because he’s not so competitive when it comes to his baby girl, he’ll always let her win).
kento’s professional judo career honestly doesn’t last very long. after his first olympic games, you two start dating and he proposes just after he wins gold the second time he’s in the olympics; he does maybe two more years of national competitions while you’re pregnant, and decides that the intense training for the next two years in preparation of a third olympic competition isn’t worth missing time he could spend with you or your baby girl—plus, with all the money he’s made from competitions, winning gold medals, brand ambassadorships, commercials, and collaborations, he had enough money to provide for all of your for the rest of your lives. so, that’s what he does (his dream has always been to be a househusband, anyway...) his previous salaryman career comes in handy when deciding how to invest his money, how to buy a house, how to take care of his friends, how to set up a fund for your daughter, and an extra account or two… just incase more babies come along…
by the time your baby girl is four, she’s already kento’s biggest fan. she loudly and proudly proclaims to everybody that her daddy was basically superman and won all the shiny trophies and medals in the house from when he was being a superhero. if anyone recognizes kento when they’re out together, she always confirms their suspicions, proudly boasting, “yeah kento is my daddy! he’s a winner!” it always makes kento’s heart swell to hear her praise. he doesn’t compete professionally anymore, but he does train from time to time, and has taken on a few mentees, and your daughter LOVES to watch him coach/train. she’s got her own uniform that she always puts on whenever they go to the gym together, and gets so excited when kento or ino or yuuji pretend to spar with her.
she’s honestly kento’s mini figure. she’s respectful and reserved, but strong and knows when to fight and how to use her voice. there’s a time when he gets a call from her school saying that she got in a fight, the principal frames it as your daughter needlessly pushing around an older kid, but your daughter is certain in her words when she tells her dad that it was because the kid was being mean to the younger kids, and to her. kento doesn’t say a word to the teachers—doesn’t even fight them sending her home early for the day, because he’s happy to scoop her up and take her out for ice cream and tell her that he’s proud of her.
#anonymous#gojo twins r so real to me... one looks like him but does Not act like him and the other one does not look like him but might as well Be Hi#and he loves n smothers them both so much....#kento goes from salaryman to professional athlete to househusband he really does live the dream life LOLLL#see also: kento's baby girl 🤝 satoru's baby girl = best friends LOLL#in my head kento and satoru are olympians at the same time/know each other#but yuuji isn't he has his own story/trajectory#which is why he is nanami's mentee in This Universe#actually i think yuuji's kinda exists on his own#and all his friends/his circle are real proud of him when it's all said n done yk#nobara teases him about finally putting his strength to good use megumi is proud in his own way#his grandpa and nanami are obviously proud of him and he comes home w a gold medal#and is basically a hero in his tiny home town#(also time for me to introduce my favorite hc: yuuta and yuuji childhood friends bc they're from the same city)#the narutoism of it all... he comes home w gold and everyone basically tosses him up and down... angel boy :(#megumi kinda exists in the kento/satoru world too i think... nd before him there was toji#wait maybe yuuta and yuuji can exist in the same timeline nd everyones like what r the odds those two kids from sendai are olympians#jjk x reader#jujutsu kaisen x reader#gojo satoru x reader#satoru x reader#nanami kento x reader#kento x reader#think tho in the yuuta/yuuji olympics verse yuuji competes 2 or maybe 3 times (so total of 12 years) nd then quits#not because he's gotten weaker but just because he really did it for the money yk but he's set for life now#honestly he was set after the first time but he just wanted to be sure/you and his grandpa encouraged him to at least do it to have Fun#this time around so he does#but for yuuta this is his Career yk like he loves tennis#he's not in it for the olympics he just likes it and happens to be real good at it#two of them talking about each other in press conferences so cute

Yeah I don’t even know where to begin with this
#tdp#tdp spoilers#they’re (imo) super obvious parallels…did Leola feel betrayed by Aaravos in some way…was it because he refused to die or something else….#tdp aaravos#tdp leola#tdp rayla#tdp s7 spoilers#I’ve been kind of going insane because of this#like a) Rayla clearly being (understandably) bitter that Ethari suddenly cares about family now that Runaan is back#b) its goes further#Stella sideeyes him too in a way that indicates hes not to be trusted/isn’t behaving or speaking truthfully#anyways I headcanon that Runaan would be super put off after hearing Ethari just…let Rayla at 15 years old go off into the world#basically alone#further evidence that Aaravos’s story has…something else going on#apologies for the shitty pictures from my phone

Hello, I saw you say in your 2024 short book review that Iron Widow sucked? May I ask your reasons? I've had this book in my hands multiple times and thought of buying but never did, and by what you said, and accounting for us seemingly having similar tastes, I think you might give me a good idea about what to expect from the book and whether I'd like it?
So yes just. Your thoughts on Iron Widow and why it sucked would be awesome if you could find time for it
Have a nice day!
udhghh ok honestly the reasons are so many and i cant even string them together correctly so i really just recommend going on the goodreads page and reading the one star reviews bc they all illustrate point for point why i think it sucked so much. like ok reason one is that its simply not well written. like its marvel level jokey "oh he's right behind me isn't he" kinda writing. Reason 2 is that the plot is just all over the place nonsensical, there are in-universe things that you're just supposed to accept at face value but just make zero sense once u think about them for longer than 5 seconds. It professes itself to be a girlboss feminist narrative and its the furthest thing from feminist u could ever find. wu zetian sees herself (and is framed by the narrative) as the only hashtag woke hashtag empowered woman that exists and goes on thinking every other girl she meets is a dumb whore. this never gets disproved. she never changes her mind. (which is not WRONG per se but at least dont market it as a #feminist book just for clout). Also like. i was expecting for the heroine's story to bear some resemblance to the hystorical wu zetian's story and uhh idk if this changes later on but so far their stories dont rlly have a thing in common. AND i like the author a lot i think they're super knowledgeable & must've done a ton of research for this so why,,, did they decide to basically discard all of it,, and also it should've gone through a few more drafts,,, one beta reader at least- anyway the things that i DID like were the qi based mecha system. that was conceptually rlly cool and i always love a mecha situation. and the fact that the love triangle got resolved in an ot3 (..... not that i liked any of the characters enough to care...)
#and before u come for meee yes i know that i like swbts which is just zhu yuanzhang miku binder and is not accurate too BUT LIKE#AT LEAST THE BASIC POINTS ARE THEREE#or at least don’t call it a retelling y’kno#in general i think its just a story that would do better with other characters#that challenge gender norms. since y'kno. the mecha system is based on gender norms.#(btw the book is Also aware of this dkfj like in the very first chapter wu zetian goes damn being nonbinary would be cool- anyway moving on#((and it never gets brought up again))#which is why im so grateful that there is such a banger iron widow au for the radiant emperor like. this is what it should've been.#everyone go stream coccoon on ao3#truly anon if u wanna read iron widow but better just read that dkfjgdk#anyway yah umm at one point i kept reading just to see how worse it could get then halfway through i went like why am i doing this to mysel#and closed the book#hope this doesnt get me drawn and quartered ndkfgjd#anti iron widow#ash replies

Everybody has the theory that Armand turns Daniel out of anger; but my theory is that Daniel gets injured, or has like a heart attack or something (the guy is old and has parkinson's, and Louis was trashing his house okay?) and Armand is SCARED AF and ends up turning him out of fear of Daniel dying, like in the books.
And then Armand immediately regrets it, and nopes the fuck out of there; and instead of the Devil's Minion where we had Armand following Daniel, we will have Daniel searching for Armand.
Just think of it, it would be a nice comparison to the book.
#amc iwtv#iwtv hell thoughts#iwtv#amc interview with the vampire#armand#armand iwtv#daniel molloy#devils minion#like yeah#my theory is that Daniel gets on the verge of death and Armand is like “oh shit oh fuck”#so he turns Daniel out of despair and fear#like#“what if Louis blames me”“what if he dies and I never told him my story”#so he goes and turns him and after he realizes what he did so he's “oh shit oh fuck” again#and doesn't even know if he's gonna survive like Nikki or if he just created a monster and instantly regrets it#because he did the one thing he said he didnt want to do#and he runs because what else can you do when all your life has basically been destroyed#he doesn't want to face Louis or Daniel#and that's why Daniel asks Louis if he has heard anything about Armand because poor bastard was turned and abandoned#and being the reporter he is he will try to search for Armand

Her name is Karlach. An archdevil's soldier I swore on my good eye to kill. A devil with pure fire for a heart. I made my way to Avernus to stop her. She fled from my reach – even climbed aboard the mind flayer ship as it screeched through the Hells. I followed in close pursuit.

How many dishes can the guys make? As robots, I can see that they would have a lot of knowledge due to the internet, but do they have any criteria as to the theme of the restaurant or the amount of time it takes?
great question!
the restauarant is specifically a cha chaan teng, a Hong Kong style cafe so the majority of the menu revolves around that cuisine
however!! the DCA boys often introduce new menu items, as well as weekly and seasonal specials!
Sun is the most adventurous in cooking new dishes. he is very interested in learning new recipes, new cooking methods, ingredient substitutions, etc! he takes it all as a personal challenge to experiment with new recipes
Moon will often try new dishes based on current trends—like he would totally be making variations of the Dubai chocolate bar and tanghulu and cucumber salads right now haha! honestly if he could, he'd love to travel and try all different kinds of foods around the world
As the barista, Eclipse also experiments with new drinks. along with their standard cafe drinks (like tea, coffee, ovaltine, etc.) he also has a seasonal drink selection to match the themes of the season. so it's autumn now, he'd have pumpkin spice milk tea, sweet potato latte, and mooncake hot chocolate for mid-autumn festival—all decadent, warm and cozy drinks that feel like a warm hug!
they have an ever-changing “surprise me” special, which is a unique meal that combines the dishes they've been experimenting on. it's like a very casual omakase. it's not a very popular set, since it constantly changes, but it is at a reduced price. the customers’ feedback also helps them improve the dishes. see, the boys can eat (as an alternative way to charge) and they do have taste and scent receptors, but they struggle with textures and mouthfeel because they don't have a squishy human mouth. so getting customer feedback on their experiments really helps them out. i imagine the "surprise me" special would be popular among students who are on a tight budget and are willing to try something new each time, cuz even though it's a mystery, they know it's great value for the price since the boys put all their effort into all their cooking
#ask the crab#crab chatter#Have You Eaten? AU#honestly early on i wanted to make the restaurant a casual omakase#basically the menu would always be changing with seasonal specialties#and the DCA boys would decide your meal for you#i decided against it because the story i want to tell with this AU is about knowing yourself#and learning how to care for your body and fuel it and treasure it through a healthy relationship with food#having an omakase where the chefs decide what you should eat kinda goes against that#instead the DCA boys help their customers listen to their needs and cravings and honour them in a healthy way#also#i don't know if casual omakases exist 😅#i wanted the restaurant to be accessible to customers of different socio-economic statuses#and there's my own limitation where i write my best when i write from experience#so i went with a cha chaan teng a type of restaurant that is near and dear to my heart#but it's casual enough to allow the boys some experimentation too

honestly the more i hear about engstars and its TLs the more i absolutely dread the inevitable release of poltergeist and what may ensue from it, bc if if the translators themselves are already invalidating arashis identity then i Really Truly do not want to see how theyll translate natsume and tsumugis microaggressions/transphobia towards her. esp since ive noticed a rise in people being comfortably transphobic towards her, and i REALLY do not wish to see natsume and tsumugi being stupid fucking morons be used as evidence to discredit her
and i think this is all the more reason why its VERY IMPORTANT for engstars to DIRECTLY ACKNOWLEDGE arashi and her gender. bc sometimes characters are STUPID and RUDE and APATHETIC. enstars is a story with NUANCED and FLAWED CHARACTERS, and when a character is being a fucking asshole youre meant to PROVE THEM WRONG. but they dont even acknowledge arashi as a girl themselves. so, if you do use engstars, please keep pressuring them bc omfg this is so bad and i can only see it getting worse
#a bit of a serious post sorreys its kinda me venting im just preparing for the worst#We should be legally allowed to beat the shit out of ntmg for what they said to arashi#i dont remember the exact quotes verbatim but tsumugi basically just expressed confusion abt her gender identity#n natsume flatout said something like shes lying to kids by calling herself a princess#so.#not good.#having characters show bigotry is not Necessarily a bad thing. but that is ONLY WHEN that bigotry gets disproven#but. engstars arent doing that.#theyre not disproving it.#they keep pretending like her gender is. well. Nothing#so i worry that this story is just gonna fuel the flames and make everything so much worse than it already is#anyway. if u play engstars please do keep pestering them for blatantly ignoring and misrepresenting arashis identity#i try to stay out of whatever goes on on that app but. Man.#she deserves better#But hey knowing them maybe theyll just fuckin cut out the dialogue alltogether to further act like trans people and their issues arent real#nat rambles#im a bit peeved as u can see sorry i just know how this fandom is and how they cant handle nuance or flawed characters#and im REALLY not happy with happyele REWRITING THE TEXT#and getting RID OF SAID NUANCE#GRHAGGRAHGRAGHHGHGH#sorry.#its like 3:30am i just needed to get this off my chest#maybe ill delete this but god.#free my girl

I am genuinely really enjoying seeing people who have clearly never read the Odyssey before reacting to EPIC's Ithaca saga. I haven't listened to EPIC myself (yet) but people keep saying stuff like "Odyseeus built their palace around an olive tree he carved into his and Penelope's marriage bed that's so symbolic" and "He really just murdered all the suitors wouldn't that piss off their parents?" Which are observations and questions that the Odyssey makes incredibly blatantly clear as to the symbolism or the answer because it's a really old poem and subtlety wasn't really Homer's strong suit.
There's something really endearing about seeing people interact with the Odyssey through the same way the Ancient Greeks did - a bard singing the story of Odyseus' nostos.
(I gather the details have changed a little, but that's what happens with oral storytelling, and that's how the Odyssey got created in the first place)
Also as congratulations have my favourite ancient depiction of Odysseus surfing with two amphemorae having stolen Poseidon's trident, being sped along by Boreas, stark naked except for a cloak he's holding onto.
#epic the musical#epic the ithaca saga#in answer to the question “what about the suitors parents being pissed” what happens is they all storm the palace gates#odysseus and laertes go out to meet them#and athena appears and goes#“no. my boy has suffered enough to get here. go home and have new#better sons who arent creepy dicks#also re: oral storytelling#its facinating actually because the odyssey wasnt written by Homer he was just the guy who wrote it down#the story existed since at least 1450 BCE#(fall of troy)#and because we know the very basic rundown of what was happening at a) the Bronze Age collapse and Mycenaean Greece#(when the story is set and it first began circulating)#b) the Greek Dark Ages which werent all that dark they just forgot writing for a bit but did a lot of cultural shifting#and c) the Archaic period which is when Homer wrote it down#we can (roughly) figure out what parts of the Odyssey are probably the oldest#what may have been introduced during the Dark Ages to reflect that cultural shift away from Mycenaean civilisation and towards Archaic#and what was introduced in the Archaic period when Homer got ahold of it#which i think is amazing and facinating#and is (very loosely) what is happening with EPIC#(its not the same because modern people are not the cultural inheritors of a story of our relatively recent ancestors' war and returns)#but the changes being made to reflect the modern audience and fit our time better are#kinda#if it was like the changes made in Ancient Greece it would be like the mentioned places to have their modern names#and the monsters changed slightly to relfect current cultural anxieties which i dont think has happened with EPIC#fel free to corect me though because like i said i havent listened to it yet#the odyssey#homeric epics#tagamemnon#technically

It's "the Stark sisters have complementary skillsets" until someone points out that Arya is good at math and Sansa isn't. Then suddenly Arya is an unreliable narrator, Sansa is just being humble, and she'll magically have that skill if/when it becomes relevant
#the absolute refusal of this fandom to believe that Arya is better at an /intellectual/ subject than Sansa is ridiculous#and the funniest part is that Sansa explicitly states she isn't good at math herself but people still pretend not to see it#they want to force the brain and brawn shit on them sooooo badly and it's just never gonna work because Arya is incredibly intelligent#and that's constantly reinforced...her being good at math just introduces how analytical she is which is a HUGE part of her character#the irony of the /don't pit the sisters against each other/ stans doing the most to compare and divide their stories + characters#if they didn't base their takes on fanon it wouldn't be an issue though 🤷🏾♀️#so funny to bring up the fact that Arya is canonically good at math cause it goes against basically every fandom idea about her#that along with her overall intelligence cause they can't handle her being more then someone's bodyguard

stg, being an enjoyer of jane twdg is like being forced into an expert-level course on the way misogyny manifests in video game spaces.
god forbid a woman be complex or difficult or provably mischaracterized (see tags) at the end of her arc to service the culmination of a man’s storyline.
#“kenny was harrowed by loss in his family” so was jane. that is part of them literally being foils.#“kenny teaches clem more!” literally untrue a lot of clem’s combat style is rooted in what jane taught her (targeting the knees & basically#everything clem knows about knife combat- jane is also mirrored with lee in this sense as like was previously stated knife combat later goe#on to become a major element of how clem fights only outweighed by her use of firearms)#she teaches clem the gut trick & we see the innovative thinking that comes with being more independent & proactive influence the way clem#handles sticky situations & deals with feeling disempowered. like this is going to sound odd but the fact that her behaviour mirrors jane#at her best (even though her relationship with aj is more maternal the way she approaches him much more as an equal & capable of holding#agency over his own life is much more reminiscent of the way she was treated by jane & luke positively + the rest of the adults negatively#than how kenny or even lee treated clem [though lee did start to view her this way after the train] + her people reading skill.) & at her#worst (isolating herself + becoming cold + the fact she is [based on player choice] willing to leave aj behind for both their survival +#struggling with her need for community vs her sense of distrust in their lasting stability + her tendency to be unfeelingly pragmatic to a#fault except when it comes to aj + the fact that clem- at her worst is self-serving & somewhat uncaring in comparison to kenny’s possessive#hot-headedness etc) indicates that on some level- regardless of a player’s second season ending- clem considered jane to be a better#behavioural role model- this isn’t to say kenny was unimpactful but rather that his impact was different- where behaviourally we see elemen#of lee luke jane & even carver in clem’s later behaviour kenny’s impact is more so that of a cautionary tale- somebody clem cared for who#she witnessed lose himself entirely to his worst character flaws due to an inability to cope with the world she now lives in- something he#even admits to her in multiple endings iirc. kenny becomes the fate clem must strive against at all costs.#similar can be said of the ending where you go with jane regarding how it analogies clem’s fears & low self worth as a result of being#unable to maintain what she had with aj (in a manner that mirrors jane’s story in that she’s choosing to leave behind a living relative due#to no longer being able to be what they need- again depending on player choice*)#*my exact memory of the third season is hazier tbh. iirc it is dependent on player choice whether she is complacent with the decision to#make her leave the new frontier.#like the way the ending was handled was sloppy & jane was mischaracterized as a result of being shoved into a conflict that we know for#certain was not intended to go to her. calm down & just enjoy your man without being weird & misogynistic dear god.)#(also if you like clem & jane you will like holly robinson & selina kyle dc)#twdg jane#jane twdg#twdg
