#cleaning out my drafts again

there’s a reason my drafts stay in my drafts

saw someone complaining that tim keeps being in jasons books... sorry that theyre cosmically intertwined. as if its my fault

magnus’s “i have just been kissed by alex fierro” is of course hilarious if he’s realizing it just at this moment. but like. throughout the books he’s already aware? he gets flustered when around alex regardless of what gender he is, he knows he’s into him. he describes male characters as attractive. he has relative knowledge of queer experience, having met other queer kids while in shelters or on the streets, always growing as he talks more with alex and other people and learns more about the world and himself. the fruity edge line. magnus's "i am absolutely great about that" was the culmination of a journey he's been on for a long time, perhaps more subtle than that of nico di angelo but still important. this was a point he reached !! this state of comfort and ease with himself and his identity and being was something forged over time !!!

Okay so realistically speaking, giving birth is an excruciating, painful nightmare, and from the few Crocodad fics I've seen most people seem to prefer to write realistic pregnancy and make Luffy's birth a (physically) painful thing. Because it makes sense, it might be more relatable for some writers that way etc, and that's perfectly fine (like genuinely, it's not an issue at all, this is not a critique or a complaint)

God I don't know how to make this segue- Have any of you watched Ore Monogatari!! (My Love Story)? It's a great early 2010s romantic comedy series, funny as hell, super cute and sweet, would reccomend, but that aside. During the series the protagonist Takeo's mother gets pregnant and she ends up giving birth to Takeo's baby sister. And it's that scene, where Takeo's baby sister is born, that I keep on thinking back to whenever I wonder how Luffy's birth might've gone.

Takeo and his mother alike are Sturdy Motherfuckers. Like absolute gigachads, borderline superhuman, it's great and it's funny as hell. And because of that near superhuman nature... Takeo's mother goes to give birth at 4:15 pm. And she has finished giving birth at 4:16 pm. One fucking minute is what it took for this woman to bring a child into this world. An absolute legend

The screencaps do not do justice to how fucking funny this is in the actual episode

And so like

Like we know Crocodile's been through absolute hell, being an amputee and all. And as Domino told us at the entrance of Impel Down, we also know the man did not even flinch when forced into Impel Down's traditional 200 Celsius cleansing bath (or 392F)

So Crocodile has better pain tolerance than the average person. Like, you might have to put in a bit of effort to cause him actually hurt. So if giving birth to Luffy was an absolute cakewalk for Crocodile, not only would it make perfect sense in-universe and be completely in-character for him, but also

It would be objectively funny as hell

As the first rays of light begin to filter through the window, the silence of the morning is shattered by a burst of energy. Danny Fenton, who spent the last half hour admiring dick's sleeping face,get up in bed with a wide grin.

"GET UP, GET UP!" he exclaims, practically bouncing on the mattress. "The sunrise is so pretty! The birds are chirping, and the clouds are pink! It’s like, magical!"

Dick Grayson, who has spent the last several hours recovering from a fever and restless sleep, barely opens one eye. The fever is still fresh in the back of his mind, and he is definitely not in the mood for this level of enthusiasm. He groans and rolls over, pulling the blankets over his head.

"You know what else is pretty?" Dick mutters from under the covers. "Sleep."

Danny just laughs, not in the least bit deterred by Dick’s grumpy response. He’s used to the tough guy act, especially when it comes from Gotham’s resident vigilante.

"Come on, man, you could use some sunshine! Look at those clouds!" Danny gestures dramatically, pointing at the sky (cloudy and not at all sunshiny) through the window.

Dick pulls the pillow over his head, mumbling, "The only thing I want to look at right now is the inside of my eyelids."

Danny just chuckles and shakes his head. "Fair enough. But you’re missing out! The world looks better when you’re awake."

There’s a beat of silence, and for a moment, it seems like Dick might give in. But then he mumbles from beneath the blankets, barely audible: "World looks just fine from under here."

Danny can't help but smile at the grumpy, lovable hero. "I’ll just enjoy the sunrise for both of us then."

And with that, Danny pulls back the curtain a little further, letting the soft morning light spill into the room, while Dick burrows deeper under the covers, content to sleep just a little longer.

Because, sometimes, even heroes need a break from the world.

who the fuck is craig and why was i so pissed at him ?

[lifemod17]

I was watching the fall for me music video again (yes, on purpose. Yes, i cried. Why do i keep doing this to myself 😅 )

Extremely heart wrenching, soul crushing, gut punch of a song + mv combination aside- the part where he goes "oh god I wish you were here" is actually so cinematic and well edited?? The back and forth between the text and the close up of him yelling into the camera??? makes me wonder if Vessel had any help with the editing of the music video. I like to think that he did.

my take on house's empathy, but i'm autistic and struggle with understanding and perceiving empathy/sympathy/etc so idk if this makes sense

so canonically house has aspd/npd traits (i don't think??? he ever actually got that diagnosis, but that's what nolan said abt him) and bc of that, he has lower empathy. however, i don't think he has no empathy. just less. what empathy he does experience, he struggles to know what to do with it because he's autistic. he doesn't know how to express those feelings. that's why he avoids patients. he doesn't know what the hell to do with that empathy, and he doesn't like that. he doesn't like not knowing what to do, so he avoids empathetic situations in general. that's why he avoids patient interactions

idk if this makes much sense. ppl far more knowledgeable than me r welcome to add their 2 cents :3

PLS what is the story/lore behind the tim insomnia art piece (w/ him holding the bloody batarang) the angst looks SO GOOD

ngl it's been a while so my memory of the concept behind insomnia is spotty, but for more artsy pieces like this it's less about the lore or specific situation and more about the visuals/feeling to me? so it's more that i have a scene come to me and i build that out (<- me trying to explain that i dont have elaborate lore lol)

so the context i came up with to justify the scene is tim being overwhelmed/semi-dissociating, caught up in the problems he's been running from as tim drake using robin an escape, unable to deal with them, and trying not to think about the fact that half of those problems are caused by the fact that he's robin, that he has a secret identity, and that he's going through it in ways he can't explain to people not in the know -> hence, tim clutching the batarang both as something to ground him and as something that's hurting him

i had also recently read silverwhittlingknife's post about tim as a watcher, especially when he's first introduced—the set of panels where tim is just a set of eyes definitely informed some of this ("some" being the panel with the giant eyes lol) (pls read swk's meta their stuff is always so cool)

i think? i also pulled the aesthetic of the bloody batarang from an old scrapped piece i never posted bc i didnt like how it turned out (it's like. from when i first started drawing tim) so some of that is there

this was like. one of my first attempts at more comic-style dramatic lighting and yeah damn i've come a long way. again! i dont know what's happening here, i just wanted to draw tim bleeding, clutching a batarang, and under some dramatic lighting

(this is also. beyond what you asked but: i think this shows how much my design for tim has changed since my initial conception of him--he had much straighter/longer features that have really softened up, which i think you can see most in the nose. and no moles!)
