Prompt 194
Bart is frozen. He’s terrified- his heart is beating faster in his chest than it’s ever done before yet he couldn’t even start to force himself to run, his body practically vibrating in place as he shook.
There was a familiar feeling in the air, one he’d never thought he’d ever feel again once he’d slipped back in time. He couldn’t breathe, everything felt like it was falling away except for that horrifying fiery aura-
“Kid, are you okay?” There was a hand on his shoulder, light as a feather (he’d learned that from gramps!) yet grounding.
He finally managed to suck in a breath, however wheezy, and looked up to answer, the words dying in his throat before they even began.
“Kid? Holy shit-” Bart didn’t hear anything else as his poor brain fizzled and he fainted.
Danny blinks down at the barely-teenager who seemed to just have some sort of attack before fainting practically in his arms. He’d say diabetes or something, but he has no way to be sure and is maybe panicking himself.
“Wow Mum, wha’ you do?” a toddler Dan- he knew what he did but honestly his baby lisp was adorable- snarked from next to him, chewing on his kid leash.
Which he wasn’t getting out of until he could both stop floating whenever he saw the stars (yes he knew he used to do the same thing, shush) and walk out into traffic.

listen I know it’s kind of corny and inaccurate to act like every single person in the dc universe knows each other and is besties but it IS endlessly funny to me to follow the web of connections and see how many degrees removed from each other everyone is.
like look at the arrowfam okay. ollie and dinah are together, ollie is homoerotic best friends with hal, dinah is homoerotic best friends with babs. roy is dating dick, has a kid with jade, and is basically an adoptive father to both grant emerson and rose wilson. connor is dating kyle and is constantly followed around by eddie fyers. mia is friends with a lot of the second gen teen titans kids, had an on-again-off-again thing going on with steph for a while, and is currently dating sienna. emiko is besties with courtney and some of the other recent teen titans. sin has a small army of protective aunts from the birds of prey. the real question is how far does it go before ollie puts a cap on the number of people who are invited to family brunch on sundays

im getting so fucked up thinking about nat and coach ben and about travis and coach ben and how theyre the two people who still interact with him with any kind of real relationship and im thinking about nat's dad calling her a slut versus nat building a trusting relationship with coach in large part because he's gay and has never and will not ever sexualize the girls. im thinking about travis and coach having little moments of like, coach giving him condoms and an awkward sex talk and coach trying to help him through his dangerous teenage boy angst and how travis felt his own dad was a shitty father and how he still tried to save him. nat and travis' conversation in the plane that it doesnt matter how shitty your dad is it still fucks you up when theyre gone. and now their new gay dad / gay older brother / gay uncle who is suffering so much and is in his like early thirties at the oldest who doesnt want to fucking be there and is terrified of all ofthem but is trying his best is gonna get cannibalized by all of their friends and theyre maybe gonna participate because they have to. no one talk to me about nat and coach i have to lie down

As someone who knew nothing about the world of Faerun when starting BG3, when Shadowheart was talking about being a worshipper of Shar and keeping it a secret I was like “aw babes don’t worry i don’t believe in religious persecution :)”
And then I got to those temple ruins in the under dark and realized Sharrans literally eat people sometimes and I was like “Oh. Ohhhhhhh.”

i watched my lady jane and it's just like!!! amazing!!! spectacular!!!
i keep seeing people saying it fulfilled what bridgerton s3 couldn't and i ardently disagree with the notion that the two need to be compared, it does scratch a similar itch (jane reminds me of eloise so much and i love eloise so of course i love jane)
but if you are in the market for a witty period drama with some of the best romantic tension ever put to screen i would highly recommend

wes!illyria asks! collecting them into one place here:
they would have been incredible! their illyria and wes duologues are already really great and have this play-like feel to them. i always thought there was a sort of rosencrantz and guildenstern vibe there, and in my s5 au with infinite resources we're hiring sir tom stoppard to write a bunch of arcadia-style, physics-themed conversations between them on grief and being. what do you mean he has better things to do then write for my fantasy tv show
this is true! i was just thinking that in the fic i'd like to write, i really want fred taking a physicist's approach to her grief, getting into stuff like multiverses and chaos theory as a way to cope. really hammer home the astronauts vs. cavemen metaphor, yknow
i always interpreted it as him getting flustered because of the "guess i've always had a thing for older women" thing, which is honestly a wild thing to say in front of a bunch of strangers lmao!
yeah, he's american! i think i'd personally keep the accent because it's more devastating the more similar illyria is to her shell. i also always interpreted fred!illyria as having an american accent because... muscle memory, i guess? idk, i feel like there's a lot of interesting questions to explore about where illyria's host ends and where she begins.
(ie. pronouns, for instance! i'm partial to the [not necessarily canon-compliant] headcanon that illyria was worshiped as a god of incomprehensible demon gender which best aligns with she/her in modern english, but is ultimately divorced from the body she's in. i just like the gender fuckery of wes!illyria using she/her, though he/him wes!illyria also accomplishes something similar in a different way. which, to go back to the original question: how much of illyria is innate? how much does she absorb the 'essence' of her host? how much does she absorb other people's interpretations of her host? these are the questions that keep me up at night.)
