i see your “bruce wayne laughs in upper class, 100 dollar bills fall from his lips when he chuckles, etc etc” take and i agree wholeheartedly but also i raise you

“bruce who doesn’t really laugh at things out loud like that really, he’s more of a nose exhale, brief grin and intense eye contact conveying his emotions” type of guy but sometimes

something will happen that constitutes, his full on body laugh and when its an instinctual thing it’s so rare that bruce doesn’t have a failsafe for that reflex and the person they’re with just,, stops

because the laugh they’re so used to can’t be compared to this genuine deep, heavy with emotion and feeling laugh that fills his lungs and your soul- and they just wish he would do that all of the time instead of his wooden paparazzi simpering and its something so stark that it throws them for a loop

and idk i just love watching bruce expose layers of himself to those he loves without consciously doing so

to the people saying jinx could never reciprocate ekko's love in the main timeline because of everything she's been going through... i need you to examine your unconscious biases against mentally ill characters

Every day I wake up thankful that the fandom as whole looked at the ‘Masters and Apprentices don’t even live together in apartments at the temple’ canon and collectively went ‘oh that’s smelly’ and ignored it. I have seen a lot of shitty fics out there, and normally I can ignore things, click exit and move on with my life, but you know what I cannot ignore and don’t think I’ve ever actually found a fic where it happens???? Padawans living on their own. Those are babies. Let them sit in the kitchen and learn how to cook bad food with master and get back rubs when they have the stomach flu. Fuck off with that ‘they all live alone’ bullshit It’s Not Real.

so i got to thinking about the timeline a bit

i think there's really something to be said about how there has never been a record i've encountered where people wanted justification or excuse to refuse to acknowledge the intention and seriousness of the project itself like danger days by both defenders and haters. i find it so incredibly bizarre and strange and partially fascinating.

So I was wondering. Was Jon able to be there for his kids' births in human form? Were they worried about him managing that?

it was a whole deal back then but jons tiny, little, self destructive bum didnt allow martin to worry about that. he just didnt think about the rammifications of thst decision

Saw the asks about Shadow feeling the world’s love for Sonic while in Sonic’s body and now I’m thinking about how Sonic would feel. Being cut off from that. Suddenly he’s no longer with nature, suddenly the world goes quiet. Like if you spent your entire life tuning out background noise and suddenly it’s gone and you’re left with just yourself. It must feel so wrong.

not only that but because shadow killed all the other black arms, there's this Extra Void that sonic has no idea how to place. like, the black arms are a hivemind species, but shadow's the last one. there are no others for him to connect with in that way. and there's just something wrong about that

Headcanon that most demon royalty goes to some fancy private/finishing school. But that Stolas was homeschooled with a private tutor. It was one of the very very few requests his dad granted him and for years it was a tressure memory, one of the few times he /got to choose/ one of the few times his dad /listened/ to him. Only to realize when he enters society that it was another isolation tactic. That everybody had already spent years forming social alliances and building their reputations and social credit. And that there was no room for him to break into those circles, that he /did not know/ the proper unspoken social rules. That his wife has spent years building her clout and that he is once again. Alone.

Thank you for posting so much aroace Ten stuff. This fandom keeps painting him as a "Casanova" and it always made me feel kinda... gaslit? (Idk if I'm using the right word for this, English isn't my first language.) Anyways, thanks for making me feel a bit more seen.

you're so welcome anon !! i think with ten he isn't a character most people would immediately point at and go "oh he's obviously aroace" but the aspec coding is still obviously There and his character can be read in a way that really heavily resonates with certain ace/aro experiences that don't really get a lot of light (cuz aspec identities are still pretty heavily underrepresented). it's funny like w/ ten instead of aspec traits being used as a shorthand to make the character be less human it's like. he is a very human incarnation of the doctor and him being an alien/semi-immortal serves to highlight the tragedy of how he can't have (or feels like he can't have) long term connection and devotion to someone like the humans he loves. which is like. accidental metaphor for aspec ppl who want a kind of intimacy that is usually only afforded to romantic/sexual relationships

i think when cherik fuck charles just has to control himself so much that he reaches the point where he gets almost no pleasure because of the efforts and erik just doesn't see that for a long time bc charles is very good at simulating whatever it is so they fuck and erik is happy and cherles is close to tears every time because yeah he had sex but he spent all time of it struggling to remain control of his abilities and he didn't have orgasm and he just doesn't know what to do because he's afraid to tell erik and he's afraid to stop doing that because he thinks he'd project his thoughts and feeling all over the mansion and he's afraid to go on the way he does because it's exhausting and kinda awful

sorry im in the mood for angsty thoughts about charles's telepathy sorry

you jsut gon say this in fronta my salad. ..,

Do you think your biases can affect how you interact with the fandoms and people within them or are you too into your interpretations to and opinions to properly understand and listen to those that differ?

Asking since I really like your stuff but you feel unapproachable sometimes and I’m a little worried about getting scolded/j

If I ever come off as unapproachable, I really am sorry about that. I’ll be honest about the fact that I’m pretty bad at expressing myself, and I’ve spent a lifetime of being written off when not outright discriminated against (I live in a very religious state) when I do speak up, so I’ve developed a very blunt (and often harsh) way of communicating that I’ve come to realize translates poorly to how people communicate on the web- I’ve been working on amending that and adopting a more neutral tone both for my fanfiction and any commentary I have- but I’ll confess that I’m still not perfect at it.

Part of being autistic is that the world is presented to me through a set of “filters” that make it hard for me to properly convey and infer tone, intention, seriousness, etc, and I’ll be honest about that too- how the average person thinks and feels to me is utterly alien. My own perspectives and morals can be just as alien to others as theirs are to me, so I don’t blame people for being confused or put off.

That being said, I am genuinely open to the perspectives of other people- I’ve said this before, but I am willing to have my view changed when a good counterargument is provided.

And, no matter who you are or what perspective you have, I am legitimately open to communicating- whether you’d like to make a request when my inbox is open, ask about my AUs or perspective, or send a DM- I do sincerely like hearing from people.

(I’m really not the scolding sort, I swear! I’ll snipe at fandom trends and plot holes, but the everyday anon is off the table.)

oooooh I'm having fun with this (isosceles not isolated au)

Stan: so you're a... triangle.

Steve: Yeah! I'm here as a favor to a friend who's friends with your brother who made a mistake that hurt your brother's other friend so now he feels guilty and he sent me to save you to make up for not saving Stanford's other friend!

Stan: ... I'm gonna pretend I followed that. Anyway, I was kinda busy getting beat up, you want to tell me why you're here?
