#but his personality is mostly fine?

[floralovebot]

yknow honestly tt aqualad's characterization (in comparison to og garth) isn't even That bad. his entire look is awful but his personality definitely reminds me of like 90s peter davids teen garth yknow? a little snarky a little cocky but mostly like that underwater and mostly as a front to hide his insecurities. tt aqualad has a very similar personality, they just got rid of his insecurities so sometimes he feels off when you compare him to og garth. but it's really only because he's an occasional side character - obviously they're not going to get into his many mental tribulations alhdg

but he's still mostly the same. he still has a deep passion for protecting the ocean and doing so in a diplomatic manner. he still calls out roy for eating fish in front of him. he occasionally butts heads with people but he's not constantly being a violent asshole who refuses to listen to anyone. like. he's not the Best version of aqualad, but he's not the worst.

and personally, i think that's what makes later iterations of garth so egregious and annoying to me. it's not wrong to say that yj garth and rebirth garth were partially based on the success of tt aqualad, so them managing to get his personality wrong on multiple levels is,, very funny to me. like not only are they Not At All like og garth, they also fail to be like tt aqualad. tt aqualad wasn't super violent, or constantly fighting robin/bumblebee/cyborg/whoever was leading at the time, or super ultra confident and egotistic. like tt aqualad knows what he's capable of and that's it. and yes, that's definitely different from og garth, but it's also very different from some of the later garths being Extremely Violent and Cocky About It.

lloyd 'survived on one meal per day for years' frontera would absolutely see sharing food as a love language and javier 'lived in the streets for months as a child' asrahan would be fluent in it

i do believe there is a point in their lives where they both heal from the trauma of going through severe food insecurity but neither of them ever quite really forget just how important food can be. and when the other shares their food with them, they appreciate it as the show of affection it was meant to be

John is never in his office in the watchtower as he always ends up found and forced to deal with things when he is there. Today is no different only it is Batman that shows up at his door. He is sorely tempted to hide under his desk and pretend to not have seen Batman at the door. Only Spooky probably knows he is there and will just track him down. A deep sigh and regret about not being allowed to smoke in the watchtower he gets up and unlocks the door.

That, he was not expecting that. Batman standing in the doorway to his office with an armful of cats. Two adults, one young cat just out of kittenhood, and a little kitten. The largest cat, ginger tom with a torn up ear and white blaze, glares and growls at him. The other placid adult cat, looks like a one of those fancy gray leopard spotted ones, just bats at the first and chirps happily. The younger black cat dangles from Batman's arms and gives John that judging look only cats can pull off. The kitten is a tiny cinnamon coloured thing puffed up in adorable fury with seething green eyes.

"Fix them." Batman say.

John has the dawning horror that he begins to recognizes the cats the longer he looks at them.

idk if it's because my mum worked in a tv magazine or what but all the media wars and backstabbing and stuff happening behind the cameras is so so interesting to me

Would you say raph has been parentfied? Because he’s the one who had to praise Leo when splinter didn’t. It’s the vibe I got as an older sibling myself I was doing most of the parenting my drunk ass parents couldn’t do.

[ cw: parentification / ]

Personally, and I know it goes against a big part of the fandom to say this, but I don’t really think so! There are certainly instances where Raph takes charge and displays parent-y behaviors but in my opinion it’s not enough for me to say he was parentified as much as the popular take says. More often he’s displayed as a protective older brother and acts as such, not so much a parentified sibling.

Not gonna say it’s wrong to see him as such though! It’s just not the vibes I personally gathered from watching him.

I’m sorry you had to go through that, though, no child should be forced to parent their sibling.

feel like if he's learned it already Angel had a least a moment after realizing Vox has mind control/influencing powers of being like 'wait so did he/is he using them on Valentino?'

this could go in a crunchier or angstier direction but honestly i'm just thinking about Angel experiencing a kind of epiphanic relief due to finally finding an explanation for why his boyfriendmanager went insane for a solid 7.5 who sounds like a used car salesman

first of all rye 'hello fellow kids' ingellvar there is nothing in this world or any other I wouldn't do for you. second of all, considering where this story ends... I'm going to die. this conversation -- and how much he genuinely believes what he's saying at this point -- held up against the fact that in a couple of months max he's going to get her killed (well. that's how he feels anyway) and then go against everything she believed in and stood for as a person in the end and have to live forever with knowing that's how he honoured her sacrifice. (and live with how easy it is to live with, the way he doesn't regret what he did at all. she'll haunt him from time to time, that's fine, he's a watcher he's loved many a ghost before and will again. but that won't.) 'no one is beyond help? oh lace I'm so so sorry, wherever you are now please forgive me for who I am, but after what he pulled and by the time I'm done with him on my watcher's oath he will be beyond help. I'll hold every hand in this world that reaches back but his'. and she'll still be gone.

'or none of this matters'. im so fucking sad I feel sick *through tears* this is great I love fiction I love this game (embarrassingly genuine as is my wont)

do you think when the kids went on the mole hill with big bob they were like "and THIS is where we almost got murdered by a fischoeder family member (one of three)" or is that something they tried to keep more lowkey in their family
