valkyrie cain character of all time. she’s been a detective since she was twelve. she cheated on a Blonde YA Boyfriend with a knockoff twilight vampire. she is clinically enmeshed with her coworker who is a four hundred year old skeleton. she’s overconfident and wisecracking and has panic attacks and just got over really deeply hating herself. she killed her baby sister but it was fine. shes so so good at punching and blasting things. she’s queen of using gender inclusive language. she has an evil alter ego. she’s even bisexual.
#sorry for keeping up with the gory middle grade novels it’s just that Valkyrie has been the same age as me for over a decade#teenage chosen one all grown up and healing from trauma and being tall hot sexy.#my posts#reading tag#at risk of sounding like someone who thinks the bechdel test is the be all end all though.#genuinely she’s a character in a class of her own though I’ve never read another young YA book (or a lot of non YA books!) with that kind of#cocky slightly evil female character who ALSO gets time spent on how she copes with and survives world ending tragedy and seeing gruesome#death from a young age

A Vision
That scene in s9 is probably one of my favorite Jay moments because of how well it shows why Wu chose him and what his role is in the team. Being the out-of-the-box thinker, the dreamer. Especially because of how it sets him apart from the rest, like Zane, Cole or Kai, whose purposes are to protect others while Jay inspires people (s6 and s12)
#ninjago#jay ninjago#ninjago jay#jay walker#ninjago dragons rising#ninjago fanart#ninjago wu#wu ninjago#dad jay au#← it's that scene from chapter 18#the moment when jay had to be on the verge of death to have a vision with wu#also yes this flashback is the one that is repeated the most in the AU#aa drawing young jay makes me sad. he has no idea what awaits him#i don't know if i've mentioned it before but in my hc he's 16 when wu recruits him#so he's the same age as Kaida here bc parallels

Babysitting duty calls, Klarion
It another world threatening battle for the justice league, young justice against the league of Villains and chaos children before most of the chaos children froze as if they sense something bad was approaching and immediately dipped out.. except klarion whom was fighting with raven who immediately froze up too late in front of the portal.
Only for a green portal to appear, as a worned out floating glowing green, but blue skinned teenage boy who turn into a man with red eyes, a clock staff in hand and a glowing white hair baby in a baby carrier.
Klarion is literally struggling like a feral cat who got wet in cold water against some invisible force speaking in some odd static like language before giving up after half a minute when the man spoke back with a short word.
The man now just shape-shifting into turn elderly just gave klarion the baby carrier before noticing how the heroes and villains have stop in mid battles looking at both klarion and him.
"All in soon time, but be warn Flashes whom break the laws of times will get their due if you keep messing with the past and future." Spoken the elderly now shape-shifted into a young boy before he turn back to klarion leaving him a note and glowing baby bag before floating back into the swirling green portal.
Klarion could only look at note with his eye twitching, Teekl meowing as she climb into the baby carrier purring around the glowing baby.
"Why do I keep getting babysitting duty, it so unfa-..." klarion grumbled as he pick up the baby carrier and bag teleporting away..
....
....
....
"What just happened?" Said Dick whom only one question would be put on hold til later in the watchtower of what just happen before the fight resuming with the young and original justice league winning since the league of Villains were distracted.
#dp x dc crossover#danny is the ghost king#danny phantom#dpxdc#dc x dp#dc x dp prompt#de aged danny#klarion the witch boy#klarion doesn't want babysitting duty after the last time#sadly he unable to avoid his fate in time#clockwork is a overworked tired papa who want a break from raising his de-aged balance of world godling who just got reborn after his death#he just want a break and a nap but he don't trust the observants for nothing after the supposedly last incident that will never come in time#the chaos children don't want babysitting duty again and avoid it like the plague#klarion is secretly a softie toward this lil being of balance but he has a reputation to hold that got shattered instantly#after Danny's death of old age then he become godling of balance of the infinite realms but he need to be raise to control his powers#whoms better to babysit the godling of balance then the chaos children who can have to cause chaos to keep the balance in check#chaos is keep balance in check while balance keep chaos from spreading depending on the luck#clockwork picks klarion as the best stable babysitter after viewing potential futures if he were to choose the other chaos children instead#clockwork is the big badass time god and the chaos children respect but mostly fear him#young justice#justice league

I love you smile lines and worry lines and grey and white hair and wrinkles and purple spiderweb veins and the process of aging and living in a body that is standing the test of times. I love you experiences that make you wiser and stories that make you laugh, and every little process that happens to get to the point where you have so many memories because you have the fortune to be here and be so radiant
#positivity#pro aging#also i hate you 'anti aging' scams that capitalize on fear of aging. death by 1000000 papercuts for ye#saw a hair video where they restored the salt-and-pepper colour in an older clients hair and it looked SO GOOD at the end#i love when people throw in the towel and embrace their aging however that looks#it isn't productive to shame people who are ashamed of aging and i just want to. celebrate aging#in a world that simultaneously venerates youth and adulthood and hates BOTH you need to find some sense of freedom#as a Young Adult(tm) please please PLEASE older folks seeing this/following me know that i look up to you#older folks i need you to know that your worth NEVER diminished when you added a new number on your birthday cake#and your body and mind and soul NEVER lost worth because it started to creak a little at the joints#and i might be wrong about this because i'm still young but it can be SO tempted to miss your youth when you feel like...#...you've somehow LOST part of yourself by growing older. and so much of aging is about change and some things don't stay the same...#...and that IS scary and i will never once fault somebody for that. but please don't fall into the trap that because you've aged that...#...you somehow have forever lost fundamental pieces of Who You Are and you could never come back from that...#...for your own sake and sanity you deserve to find comfort and solice and understanding in who you still are...#...because you are still - at the core - the same. you can never take this away from yourself#and i know this might ring hollow because i just don't get what it's like to be older#but i have looked at my elders and felt awe at their age and their experiences#and i know what that is like and it's awesome. i just wish more older people knew that so many of us look at you with awe...#...and - if you can believe it - some of us ENVY your age or experiences or even body#i'm watching an 'older' content creator (older by internet standards 🙄) and i envy him for how eventful his life was#i envy that he experienced a different world - one that i have only heard about from my dad because i was too young to remember it#and i admire this person for their wisdom and thoughts because they've come from his experiences living in a Different World#it's that type of stuff that makes me unafraid to keep on living#inspired by following somebody like. twice my age posting about their excitement abiut growing older and !!!!!!! YEAHHHHHH#didn't realize they were closer to my dad's age but that's so cool???????????

feeling so normal about the implications if curlfeather is reedwhisker’s daughter
#in particular thinking about the bluestar family tree and the parallels#goosefeather and frostpaw being toys of starclan who are burdened with heavy responsibilities at a young age#frostpaw and bluestar firsthand witnessing the tragic death of their mother as a young child#bluestar dying to save her clan from the dogs. curlfeather dying to save her daughter from the dogs#bluestar losing her mind when a cat she trusts attempts a coup. in comparison to curlfeather who is the one who attempts her own coup at the#expense of the cats who trust her#this barely scratches the surface this whole family seems to have their own curse in a way similar to appledusk’s bloodline#even if this doesn’t end up canon i will still adopt this as my own headcanon i cant stop thinking about it#meowing.wav

the coolest kids in forgotten valley!!☆
(…it seems there may have been a stretch of time where rock and lumina were the only kids in forgotten valley…🥲)
poseref
#in the remake hugh and the player’s kid are the same number of years apart#so i can see them having very similar conversations n friendship#surely these two kids will grow up well adjusted and they will have no lasting effects from this kind of isolation. they will be fine#i have been thinking a lot about what their childhoods were like. i want to protect both of them#everyone who has anything to say about them as kids says that both of them were not well behaved children at all#tei says rock was rambunctious and energetic and hard to handle. sebastian says lumina was less than amenable#rock says he was bored to death when he first came here and lumina asks you not to tell romana that she’s lonely#lumina also hated wearing dresses so. she is very mad and ready to bite people maybe#sos awl#bokumono#my art#rock tumbling (sos)#harvest moon#story of seasons#story of seasons a wonderful life#bokujou monogatari#i like to imagine a au where pony and cecilia come to visit their family’s respective farms#so these two can have more friends ;w;#i am always thinking about how they were both severed from their families and taken in by someone else at a young age to live in nowhere#and they are both not exactly enthused about following the path laid out for them#headcanon ⚠️ i wonder if rock’s moving out on his own happened when he was a teenager. he was extremely confident everything would work out#anyway he got fired from every job ever and after many years came crawling back. and he came crawling back blond#at the time of chapter 1 lumina is baffled by the state of the guy she grew up with. why is he using dated slang and wearing disco costume#she is also kind of mad at him for having been gone for so long#hc rock probably had more freedom as a kid than lumina did which probably annoyed her#once again takakura retrieves a small rock from the goddess pond and he’s covered in poison ivy bee stings etc. no remorse#lumina from her window on the hill feels somehow jealous of these misadventures#lumina mentions in her heart event that she doesn’t often visit the beach because her skin burns easily#meanwhile rock was probably playing outside always. if his kid is any indication#idk i like thinking about the history of this extremely small village

I'm so mad that so far the only good robin!jason content i've ever found is his original run. Everything i've seen since has just been making him out to be the Angry Bad Problem Child and victim blaming him for dying. How is it that the only fucking good characterization of him is 20 issues from the 1980s
#my dc posting#jason todd#dc#jaybin#robin jason todd#i love jaybin so much but by god there is no fucking content#ppl are just obsessed w making him out to be Bad and Angry to make him becoming red hood make more sense in their heads#look thats what he was always going to be. that what he was always on the track for. look at how angry and unstable he was#SHUT UPPP#from comics anything told to me abt his time as robin after his death means nothing to me#everyone has a different version of canon in their mind and mine will never include a single bit of info abt jaybin said after his death#i have the most horrible brainrotting ''he would not fucking say that'' abt jaybin. nobody gets him like i dooo#<- said as someone who has been angry and problematic and difficult since a young age bc of trauma and mental illness and shit#AND JASON WASNT EVEN HALF AS BAD AS ME#im gonna go reread his og robin run. my safe space#sorry im being soooo annoying abt jaybin rn i just. i love him#i feel like most people only see jaybin as the precursor to red hood#jaybin is only worth something as the backstory of red hood#which like. its fine to like the red hood version of him most#but i like jaybin :( he's my robin. like if there's a robin in a story i'd want it to be jason#so many fics would be sooo good to me if they did not unnecessarily have jason arguing with bruce abt the no-kill thing while STILL ROBIN??#like what are we doing thereeee#ok sorry im done being annoying and venty and whiny now

Our ragged, bloodstained girl in red. Flesh stained teeth, earth crusted nails. An animal-girl.
Girlhood knows red. She knows of blood and the hollowing hunger that resides in the pit of stomachs. She knows her way around organs and the fresh scent of danger. Girlhood knows of red eyes, red hands, red tongue licking a full, satisfied smile.
Red waits with the Creature resting on her grandmother’s bed. It lies with one paw over the other. It yawns and sleeps and bares its neck. It waits for inevitability. Fear wears the clothes of love.
“If you cannot eat, you will die. This is the Law.”
Tears swell at the corners of the girl’s eyes. Who are these tears for, my child? Humanity lays at the corners of her eyes. She wipes them with the back of her hand.
Hunger and hunger and hunger grips the girls stomach. Starvation. Instincts. Animal.
She lays the iron weapon into the Creature’s skull.
Red Riding Hood devours her shadow. She rips apart fur, finds the critical spot where the meat comes apart the easiest, where the heart pounds and fades the quickest.
She splits the skull apart, pulling the strings that have tormented her Story many times told. She strays the path and follows her instincts. Animal.
She eats. She eats and drinks and swallows. Bright red. Raw meat. She picks the fur and guts out of her teeth. She wipes her mouth on the collar of her white dress and her hands at her thighs. “My teeth were made to eat you”.
Unrecognisable child. People fear you the way they feared the Big Bad Wolf. What have you done? Predator claws and ears grow from her body. Alien, familiar. Maturity, mortality, humanity, innocence— the blood at the end of girlhood.
“I met death, and Death wants me to live.”
#dimension 20#neverafter#girls face the consequences of mortality and humanity at such a young age and are forced to mature so much quicker#we’re familiar with blood. we know a type of death#we know the death of innocence. we know the death of girlhood#we cry tears of pain and hunger and discomfort and fear from such a young age#ylfa snorgelsson represents so many different aspects of girlhood and maturity#ylfa snorgelsson#plu’s d20 rambles#d20 analysis

something i noticed unfortunately:
[script from darksvster]
alicent is mid-late thirties, which obvious discourse means her mom was also probably a childbride when she had her (+ her having an older brother in gwayne helps to reaffirm this).
this was the case for rhaenyra in fire and blood; aemma was *fifteen* when she had rhaenyra and *twenty-three* when she died birthing baelon. rhaenyra was a mother THREE times over (with baby egg on the way) by the time she reached the age her mother ultimately met her fate at.
how am i supposed to mentally cope with this information?
#fire and blood#house of the dragon#rhaenyra targaryen#aemma arryn#granted we don’t know who alicent’s mom is so this could still be the case in the book#but it is quite weird in comparison to 8 year old nyra and her relationship w her mother#with all of the age changes made#now aemma dies as a woman in her early 40s#rather than having the audience recognize#how awful her life and subsequent death truly are#due to her youth 😔#especially given that her mom (daella) also dies tragically young#from the same ailment (childbirth)#when i catch you grrm

Concerning the Death Eater Cult Under Voldemort; The First Wizarding War
What the uneducated See: Nazi Comparisons
What I see: Manson Family Vibes
Just an observation….
#Severus snape has more in common with Manson Cult survivor Diana Lake than he does any SS officer but hall not ready for that conversation#btw I am NOT saying that they are exactly the same#it’s just that the nazi comparison is getting super old and it was inaccurate to start with#all I’m saying is that if you’re going to make real life comparisons it should be accurate#seriously#also this is not a shitpost#those poor families#the Longbottoms have some in common with Sharon Tates case namely the babe#Neville almost died#also#this is NOT minimizing anything the Manson family did they were real life murderers and the death eaters are of course fictional#Severus was groomed by a cult at a young age#read any books on the Manson family and you will see clear similarities in how Charles Manson and Voldemort groomed followers to join him#severus was only 15 when he was being recruited and Diana Lake the youngest Manson family member was only 14 when she joined “The Family#severus snape#this isn’t defense or not?#just an observation I made from someone who has studied cases of cults a lot#snape

Are you guys okay??
#Sammy8D says#I have a vague idea about what's going on in the AvA fandom at the moment#shoutout to one of my close mutuals for informing me#Something something stick figure ages something something#My brain is too fried from working to comprehend anything#but death of the author and all that jazz#As a young adult I feel more comfortable writing and creating content for characters that are also adults (18+ years old)#Plus I already have my own headcanons on how Stick Figure Ages work that I spent days thinking about logisitically#You think I'm gonna give that up just because Alan said something off the top of his head?#Sammy8D Stick Stuff

Absolutely death gripped clenched trying not to comment on reductive posts on ancient greek homosexual relationships
#It is neither wholly '0mg two gay guys in love!!' and 'I am humiliating and debasing a lower man by making a woman out of him'#There's heavy elements of that in how they conceptualized penetrator vs penetrated but the erastes (lover/protector) and eromenos (beloved)#relationship was significantly more complex than that#Like it is conceptualized as sort of a mentor/mentee relationship and a positive element for an adolescent's development#It was the subject of romantic plays and you get things like people in antiquity in heated debates over who is the#erastes and who is the eromenos between Achilles and Patroclus (to better depict them in plays)#The bottom line is more 'the socially accepted m/m relationships were (what we would now consider) an adult and a child#(or young man) with the age difference being a fundamental element to the dynamic.'#And more broadly being penetrated in sex assigned a 'lower' or 'womanly' role and it would not be conventionally accepted#for an older/more socially powerful man to recieve penetration (which certainly DID happen though)#So absolutely a moment in the history of male homosexuality and not something to just go 'ew ew bad evil ewwie' about but also#not something you want to project modern conceptions of LGBT identity upon#Also we know relatively little about relationships between women in ancient Greece due to lack of sources due to being a#highly patriarchal culture but we can't actually know that they did not involve similar power dynamic#Certainly not to the same extent or in such a well socially defined way (bc they conceptualize sex almost entirely through a lens of#penetration) but I think you should be treating relations between ancient Greek women with the same degree of#historical distance from our lives and identities today.#Ok death grip failed I just typed an entire rant. Fiuck it

VALID#so valid and real to see the child of your friends you knew at that age but who DIED and then see the friend who betrayed them#to see like the best of BOTH of them mirrored and living on in him and be like yknow what???? you WILL be protected frm that same fate#hoooo the briefest moment where harry might hope things will turn out okay. w sirius' name being cleared and peter having to explain himself#and sirius being like hey i get it if you want to stay w your family that is fine but. if you wanna move in w me...#(harry relaying this to hermione later as well. dreaming of a place fr just the two of them somewhere in the countryside#somewhere..... sirius might see the sky..... bc he thinks he would like that after all those years locked up do not even touch me rn.......)#only fr everything to turn to shit two friends fighting w deadly force. the chance to set this right slipping off into the night.#a million dementors descending relentlessly until utter exhaustion and certain death. some strange salvation? fight for a second chance?#but then still havign to say goodbye when they only just GOT this. and everything still being so. god. and lupin having to leave as well.#the thought of sirius also WANTING that guardian type connection but being forced to live in 1. a cave barely living more freely than before#2. then being confined to the stuffy somber abusive home he ran away from as a teen w that portrait still up there and everything.. bitch...#oh man the way i KNOW when we get to ootp (my favourite) its gonna leave me blasted into a million little pieces#the way i know shit like the knowing wink the entirety of the wall tapestry room scene and of course nice one james is gonna DESTROY me..#dont even talk to me abt that dark turn at the end of gof and how everything after gets soooo. god. w everything just getting destroyed and.#i cant even think abt it i cant even talk about it. wah#i dont care btw that they aged those guys up undermining how insanely young these people died. perfect casting fr the remaining marauders ok

Why are these kids such kids? They can build a fort in the backyard and declare their own country apart from Dadan's (who obviously has a country) because they want to be independent and stand on their own (to be fair they are nice forts beyond most 10 yo's capabilities).
They can say "but let me your bathroom sometimes" and throw their declarations in as rolled up paper balls into Dadan's window, with Luffy's saying a simple "me too" after his older brother's more formal declaration.
They can face a giant bear, way too big for one 7yo child, while the other teases "what's wrong I thought you wanted to make your own country," and refuses to help, then regrets deeply when the former almost dies from such childish melodrama.
And yet they can also stand toe-to-toe against pirate captains, survive their brother's loss, deal with the pain of being responsible for another and failing, and ultimately both grow into two independent and righteous young men.
#oh ace#oh luffy#they both try so hard#sabo really did balance them#one piece#portgas d ace#monkey d. luffy#poor ace has to learn what it means to not only care about someone#but also care for someone#honestly what they go through as kids makes what garp put luffy through as a child seem like the least of their worries#no wonder ace is so fucked up and willing to throw his life away at a taunt#he learned from a young age he was responsible for the suffering of those he loved#he spent the first part of his life learning to hate himself#and the second part learning to protect others to death#because he is such a fundamentally good person#and doesn't believe he is worth protecting in turn
