#don't break the chain

[jinx-o-rama]

So let's try something!

Tag your mutuals to well... tag them! And if you get tagged you must tag your mutuals so on and so forth!

Let's see how long we can keep the chain going or can we get it started at all!

You all are tagged! @wingus57 @pinkhibiscustea @coalioliravioli @astroblastro @scrampton @cogsanity @lost-bush @jestersjoke

Don't Break the Chain.

the first era of the chain. reblog/reply to this post with "don't break the chain." when one breaks the chain, it shall start a new chain. the chain text must be unrelated to the previous one to start an era. if it's related, it will stay in the current era.

Current Era:

Era 1: the primordial era.

"don't break the chain."

So it turns out there's a big craft guild organization thing only a few hours from where I live (I saw an ad for their craft fair), and I got like half my holiday shopping done on their website, and the box arrived today! The thing I was most excited to see in person is fragile, though, and it's really well wrapped in bubble wrap and I don't want it to break when I mail it to the friend it's for, so I am not unwrapping it, but oh man the temptation is there lol I also got myself a little metal bug made of a bottle cap and some wire. It lives on my little corkboard where I put postcards and thank you cards now

honestly, maybe it's a hot take or whatever, but I think that tearing down the veil and *potentially* bringing back the immortality to the elves would not have helped them a lot

How do you think bruce would react to a Robin pile situation?

oooh this is a fun thought. i think it depends *entirely* if you're working with a morally stable Bruce or a Bruce who's a little fucked up and dead dove-ish. somehow, i think it's actually more fun if it's a completely stable Bruce bc that adds so much more drama and issues if Bruce is deeply unsettled by the idea. if it was maybe just Jason and Dick or Jason and Tim dating that's sort of understandable. Bruce knows that while he may see them all as his sons (except Steph bc do know Robin pile will *always* include Steph for me and tbh Cass too as an honorary member. they're all going in the pile.) but he understands that doesn't mean they see each other as brothers. he respects the nuanced and complicated relationships scattered across all of the Batfam.

but if all of them are *dating*? or at the very least sleeping together? that raises a lot of logistical red flags. the most obvious one is the age gap of it all- at the biggest gap you have Damian and Dick who are an easy fifteen years apart, meeting when Damian is a kid. not to mention how many of them have tried to kill each other at some point. it shouldn't work and Bruce doesn't like that it does. Bruce has a history of wanting to control the relationships of the Batkids when he disapproves. and so he'd absolutely try to break them up. at first, he paints it purely as a logistical issue. saying it's smartest not to bring feelings into work and that this is dangerous. i think it's especially fun if this happens at a time when Bruce doesn't approve of Steph or Jason so that *also* plays into it, he doesn't want either of them near the ones he currently considers to be his family. he says he wants to protect them and wants to keep them safe. he tries to appeal to who he thinks would be more logical and listen to him the most. first Dick, and then when that doesn't work, Tim. and when neither of them listen, i *do* think Bruce would stoop to the low of trying to break them up by fabricating internal conflict between them, hoping to divide and conquer the weird polycule it's become.

while i don't think Bruce would be jealous in the sense he wants to be included, i *do* think he's wildly dislike the Robins having this close bond that makes them trust each other implicitly more than they trust Bruce. they will defer to each other before him and clearly keep things from him. he'd despise that. it's an inner circle he's not let in on and it makes him lose aspects of control over some of them, especially Damian who's the youngest and his son, who Bruce deserves the most control over. he would drive himself mad about it. at first for genuine reasons over the perceived fucked up nature of the relationship (even when each of them have confirmed that it is entirely consensual and they're happy) and to protect them. but he becomes so bitter over being ignored. they openly prioritize each other over him when the truth comes out because they see no point in hiding it. and i could definitely see Jason gloating about how he's back in the family whether Bruce likes it or not. Bruce would be beyond pissed about it. he's just never recovering. trying to stop them gets nowhere, even if he manages to cause some internal conflict.

eventually, Bruce would be forced to accept it for fear he would lose all of them. but he's *not* going to be happy about it and he keeps making side comments, hoping to get through to one of them eventually. it doesn't work, but he's definitely not going to stop trying. i also think on some level it would just disgust him a little bit in a visceral way, since they're his kids to him and he doesn't like to picture them in that way. esp when Jason or Steph lean heavily into PDA just to fuck with him. ass grabs, cuddling, sloppy kisses, the whole nine yards. Bruce will not have a moment of peace.

With Lostbelt 7 out on FGO NA and me falling back into my greek mythology obsession I wanted to rant share a potentially unique perspective

Being a fan of Fate series and Greek Mythology at the same time is a wild experience.

Like the series started pretty accurately with Fate/Stay Night. Heracles was the Berserker, the "insane" character, who develops a weirdly wholesome father-daughter relationship with a girl because of the pain they feel at the loss of their families. Meanwhile Medea was still an absolute psychopath but also just wanted to have a good wholesome relationship, one she thought she had with Jason. Medusa is there too but she has so little in common with her mythological counterpart but you are willing to overlook it cause she fits into the story well (and is very hot).

Then they will make a whole alternate universe story(Fate/Apocrypha) with an Achilles thats a total arrogant, charismatic but likeable jerk that loves to fight which is generally pretty in character besides being less of a psycho and he will have a great relationship with Chiron who is his enemy and views Atalanta (who has lion ears and tail which call back to her myth. But she also wears a little dress so it's a mixed bag) as a big sister figure because of the stories Peleus told him which is the best Achilles related HC I have ever heard. Over all you will say "well that wasn’t bad"

Then you will roll your eyes because they made Artemis a big tiddy waifu who came down Earth to make sure her boyfriend Orion, who is a teddy bear for reasons, didn’t perv on another woman in the gacha game(Fate/Grand Order).

But the gacha game isn’t done because they will reveal that greek gods were actually interdimensional spaceships that became more normal gods when their spaceship bodies got destroyed.

Then you will have a very emotional scene where Orion, that's no longer a teddy bear for reasons, shoots down Artemis, who is an orbital space laser. All the while, in the same story, Jason will become one of the best characters while still being the absolute worst.

And at that point you won’t even know what to feel because how are you supposed to react when they say this is Zeus' true form

HE IS JUST A BIG SPACESHIP FACE!

Oh and did I mention Trojan Horse is a transforming mech piloted by Odysseus who is a pretty anime boy and wears Aegis, which is an ironman armor with a boob window in Fate?

HOW ARE YOU EVEN SUPPOSED TO REACT TO THAT?!

This isn’t PJO where the story pretends to be a very accurate adaptation of greek mythology. Even in the beginning they were okay with completely ignoring the myths but as time went on they went so out there and got so ridiculous that I kind of respect them at this point.

OC: Lyra Sandman x CC: Caleb Quinn (you can imagine x reader I don't mind)

Some day I will elaborate on their story but oh well

[little-tyrant-gortash]

We were loud enough about Astarion's ending, so loud, in fact, that they've changed it for us.

Can we be loud enough about Enver's, too? 🥺
