AO3 is down and so is my Wi-Fi so I’m writing Nimona headcanons to cope

When Nimona is in a bad mood she usually wants attention and affection so she’ll shift into her cat form and sit on Bal and Ambrosius 

She knows they would never move her even when she’s in her human form but she feels like being a cat is just a bonus 

The first time she sat on Ambrosius' shoulders when she was in a bad mood he cried for like three hours 

When Bal has a bad day he goes nonverbal and collapses on the nearest comfy area 

He doesn’t care if it’s his bed the couch or a pillow on the floor he’s laying their face first and not moving until he feels better

It’s not uncommon for him to come home and just plop down on the couch even when Nimona and Ambrosius are sitting there

And they won't move him either they kind of just accept their fate and continue what they were doing to the best of their abilities 

When Ambrosius has a bad day he cleans 

Like obsessively 

He won’t stop until every surface in the house is spotless and there isn’t a single dust particle in sight 

The only room that he stays out of is Nimona’s (half out of respect for them half out of fear of what he would find in that room)

Most of the time when he feels like the house is up to code he’ll be too tired to move let alone think

And that’s when Bal and Nimona set up their super secret evil plan

Bal forces him to get comfy on the couch while Nimona plays his favorite movies and gives him his favorite snacks

It’s truly diabolical but it’s also what Amrbosius does for them when they’re in a bad mood so they feel no guilt  

Sometimes when he’s feeling especially shitty Nimona will shift into a dog and let him cuddle them like a big stuffed animal

So I was just reminded sometimes cats will sit on your injuries and purr because they think it makes you feel better (and as a cat owner I can confirm it does)

When I remembered this I was thinking that Nimona would subconsciously shift into a cat and lay on Bal’s arm or Ambrosius' shoulder when they’re in pain and just purr 

And they swear that it helps every single time (kind of like a mom kissing her kid's injuries)

Ambrosius will always use people's full names when he’s pissed at them

I don’t know when this idea popped into my head but I’m just imagining Bal and Nimona chilling outside until they hear “Ballister and Nimona Boldheart get your asses inside now!” from their house

And their neighbors watch as some of the most powerful people in the realm scramble to run inside 

Most people would assume that Nimona would either stay where they are out of spite or fly away  

But they’re so caught off guard because Ambrosius always calls Nimona “Nim”

Plus he’s made Ambrosius mad enough times to know that if he apologizes enough times and makes Bal give him the patented “Puppy Dog Eyes™” he’ll fold like a lawn chair 

Nimona calls Ambrosius “nemesis” for two reasons 

The first one is he thinks his name is stupidly long (and Ambrosius agrees) and the second reason is he thinks it sounds cooler (he agrees again)

Plus it’s also hilarious to imagine Nimona yelling “Nemesis” while running full speed at Ambrosius and then tackling him

Sometimes they knock him on his ass and sometimes he picks them up and puts them in air jail

Making it onto n*zi tumblr was a trip, but guys: you have to start understanding what dog whistles are and what blatant antisemitism looks like (I'm talking to non-jews here).

The enemy of your enemy is not your friend in this case. You have to start participating in your political spaces with a critical eye, and that means understanding what antisemites are doing to try to radicalize you. If you think n*zis wouldn't pretend to be On Your Side just to radicalize you, you're wrong, and you'll be willingly putting yourself at that risk. Their jew hatred is what keeps them alive, what motivates their existence - they will do anything to ensure that other people are just as hate-filled as them.

I'm making this post with the hopes that someone will read it and it will remind them that not everyone on Their Side is their friend. Educate yourself on jew hatred and what it looks like. Listen to jews. It's never too late to learn, to make the world - to make even a tiny space be a safer place for jews.

Am I weird for trying out a new sport when I’m 22 years old?

okay it could be that I'm like 50% THC by volume right now but I'm doing the ansur trials in act 3 and I have gale and wyll with me and I am BESIDE MYSELF with emotion because gale helped me solve the strategy puzzle and wyll helped me solve the insight puzzle and this is supposed to be a trial for heroes and for narrative reasons my tav is like, very much a reluctant hero who does not like/approve of the term, and he was extremely uncomfortable with the idea of playing hero, and he absolutely would NOT have figured out either of those trials on his own (and I needed shadowheart for the justice trial for her magic) and it's like

the hero is all of them???? the real hero was the friends we made along the way????????????? it's so satisfying from a narrative perspective that they had to work together, that everyone had to help, that none of them could have done this individually they needed each OTHER

The mindset that babies are easy infuriates me so much. And it really boils down to: IF YOU HAVE NEVER HAD A CHILD, YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND

Babies cry for a MULTITUDE of reasons. My daughter once cried for 5 minutes straight because I sneezed. It’s usually not as simple as milk, diaper change, or comfort. (Though of course, these are pretty big reasons for crying to)

And with that, can we STOP expecting mothers to be able to magically calm their crying babies right away? Can we STOP shaming moms whose babies cry for more than a minute, especially when you can SEE mom clearly trying to calm and comfort her baby? I can GUARANTEE to you that any mother in that situation feels a million times more embarrassed, awkward, annoyed/frustrated than you do! And guess what?

BABIES DESERVE RESPECT LIKE ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING! Babies deserve some damn grace and the ability to feel their feelings without adults trying to shut them up out of inconvenience! Fear, hunger, frustration, being uncomfortable, separation anxiety from mom, these are all HUGE feelings for a baby to have!

Babies are complex.

“Babies only cry if they are hungry, need changing, or need to be picked up”

Lies

Babies (and small children) also cry for reasons such as:

1. “I am tired and that makes me angry”

2. “I scared myself with a fart”

3. “You are the wrong parent”

4. “I ran into something with my face”

5. “I’m facing the opposite direction then the one I want to”

6. “I fell asleep in one place and woke up somewhere completely different”

7. “I am a very small person in a very big world”

8. “I got scared because YOU farted”

Babies have more then 3 states of being and sometimes you just have to hold them and bounce them gently while saying solemnly “yes it is very hard to be a baby” because frankly it is

"You came from here" is just echoing in my head. or. from my head. talking about understanding the astral. talking about this plane. talking about this planes people. I am the astral. I am the original parent. I am those waters. All I can say about understanding is "you came from here" but that's a lie because what I'm actually speaking is both the tiny island of those words and the huge swathes of water that is my body open wide and my body is the cosmic gelatine, the Mother Waters, the binding between existence and it's electric wire mainframe

See if I were John Constantine I would not question this because Jazz is simply that powerful. She has a whole "I'm disappointed in you for misusing your godlike powers" routine and it works. She has been doing this for longer than anyone else on the planet. She is the world's first superhero-specializing psychologist. She invented that.

Danny, on the other hand, refuses to list his real name on his Justice League application because he was worried he'd get in just because he's Jazz's kid brother and not because the other heroes actually think he'd be useful. You can leave your small Midwestern town but you can't leave your big sister's shadow.

"Jazz works at Arkham" Jazz hates corruption and abusive environments. She had her pick of Ivy League colleges desperate to recruit her by age sixteen. She would like to work in a place where best practice mental health policies are actually followed, thanks very much, and where she is listened to. She could do so much better than Arkham, she knows what happened to Dr. Quinzel and what sort of toxic environment that place has, and she has years of unique invaluable experience being the psuedo-therapist for a group of teenage vigilantes. She is one of the Justice League's cohort of private counselors with the highest degree of confidentiality. She has talked with Superman about his experiences as a secret alien immigrant, she went over culture shock and the fear of immortality with Wonder Woman, she is going to get Batman to see a member of her team if it's the last thing she does. Dr. Jasmine Nightingale is the force keeping the Justice League from crumbling apart
