Damian becoming the Leslie of the Justice League.
Obviously he becomes and stays a civilian doctor, but he also becomes one of the go-to doctors if one needs to be summoned to the Watchtower.
He is already trusted by most of the superhero community, and while you’re not supposed to operate on family, beggars can’t be choosers.
It also means that he eventually teaches field medicine to new League members or trains other hired League doctors on protocols for supers.
I agree with him getting out of the vigilante scene and becoming a civilian, but the League works with civilians. And it would give him an excuse to have easy access to his family members medical files and treatment plans.
#batman#bruce wayne#damian wayne#batfam#batfamily#seriously i think having occasional shifts on the tower for watching over the medbay would be right up his alley#in the same way that bruce leads the league damian becomes the chief doctor of the watchtower#like a chief medical officer in star trek.#do i think it would blur the lines of his involvement with vigilante/hero work? maybe#but i could also see him making peace with that too as a sort of last resort#like the watchtower is invaded and he has civilian clearance but superhero level training to respond in these situations#it’s his father and family and friends that are a part of this life and he was too#he understands how everyone functions and remembers different protocols and can mimic bruce’s voice#almost like becoming an alfred of the JL where it’s obvious that battle training never leaves him even as a civilian#and while he may break it out during emergencies it’s no longer his primary way of life

Nothing… just Violet wearing Xaden’s shirt and stealing his clothes, and Xaden asking to help wash her hair and taking care of her, while making sure his mind is open to her so the bond can wrap around her now-dreamless-nights and never let her be alone, and joking about how far they’ve come beyond any “breakup point”, and really channeling the “old married couple” vibes the squad said they had at the beginning of this book only double-dosed on fluff.
#Chapter 54#Onyx Storm#Viorson#Riongail#Violet x Xaden#Xaden x Violet#Violet Sorrengail#Xaden Riorson#ship fuel#fluff#domestic#softies#I love them ur honor#the wearing his shirt trope gets me everytime like the last kiss girlie I am#🥹🥹🥹#even their dragons taking care of each of them for the other from Tairn defending Violet for Xaden & Tairn giving Xaden credit for Vi#but also making sure she eats and the whole squad showing up and the whole team taking care of each other#but they are just next level#and Xaden being the one person she doesn’t have to pretend with#and the may I wash your hair made me all🥹#plus the full circle “help me line#and him teasing her about the runes and helping her all the same#and them joking about all of it together back like the old days even now#and the I need a moment moment over moment#they call each other love😭#always#and she’s still breathing and that’s enough and he’ll be whatever she needs and she has him she lives because of him they are alive still#Riorgail#Sorrenson

Durgetash Resurrection AU
"Is that...? That's my body. I remember now. The Morphic Pool. The Elder Brain, it... I was dead. What did you do?" "I made a deal... with Lord Bane."
#durgetash#bg3#enver gortash#the dark urge#durgetash resurrection au#it's about time i made some durgetash content that isn't just shitposting lol#i promise i do plan to actually write this fic#god i know this looks like a happy reunion but i promise it will not be that simple#he's not exactly happy she's usurped him as bane's chosen#and the torture he experienced at bane's hand when he was dead does impact him significantly#but at the same time he's glad it's over so he's also grateful too#but also he spent so much time in hell as a child wishing someone would come save him until he learned he couldn't rely on anyone else#that now that someone actually has saved him he doesn't know how to process it#and yes bane doesn't insist on having just one chosen but he's not going to re-accept gortash easily#he'll have to prove himself all over again whereas durge is on top of the world right now#and he doesn't want her hand outs#and bane may say he's fine with them ruling together for now but you just know he's going to pit them against each other too#and durge is hardly soft herself. she saved him for her own reasons but she's not going to give up power for him. the netherbrain is HERS.#she betrayed her father for this. she became a new person for this. she's not here just for him but she wants him here with her.#he can share her throne but he better understand who's in charge here. she'll tadpole him too if she has to.#though she hopes he won't make her do that (not that she'll tell him she hopes that)#and he hates her for it but he also wouldn't respect her if she were any different#it's complicated#plus they have to deal with any interpersonal drama while also trying to take over the world 😂#because despite how the “control the netherbrain” ending makes it seem#the journals and plans in gortash's office make it clear that not everyone in baldur's gate is tadpoled. not even close.#(the brain doesn't produce nearly enough tadpoles for that)#so they have to deal with keeping the rest of the population in line & trying to militarize the city & get footholds in other cities#not to mention they have to counteract the fact that every god and other powerful being in the world is going to be working against them#tennetash

... peace on planet bottom, then there's whatever this is
#i am wondering about the chocolate roses#was the first half of the crew working on those roses on valentines day#and now the second half of the crew is making them on white day?#no... that's not logical... maybe they were all working on them around the same time#but the images of their activities is only released to us on these specific holidays#did eiden pull a 'when i worked briefly as a cake decorator they taught me how to make these cool choco roses'?#and everyone in the clan got a Aha! moment and wanted to make their own roses. in some grand cake for eiden??#they are all doing edible arts and crafts. idk how they were separated by sex position but sometimes things work out that way. i guess.#[side eyes the strange dimensional portal that segregates them.] this portal can only induce pain (in me)#but maybe... the rose dante is holding away from blade is his PERFECTED sample?#and he's seen how blade has been steadily adding things to the roses. glitter. inedible things. strange divots and patterns#blade has the ABILITY to make perfect identical roses like a production line. but will he do it? no. not cute#every rose should have some personality. a little flair. a little lumpy petal here and there#and dante is all NO . you may perceive this lesser specimen (Rose B) as a distraction. but my true aim is preserve the integrity of Rose A#the bottoms were making their roses in the daytime. the tops are partying at night. what does this mean#will they all welcome eiden home at midnight (he was out on some bland social gathering with aster and huffy nobles?)???? WITH ROSE CAKE?#but quincy has meat. why he got meat? to keep morale high? because he's not a fan of sweets? because his creature friends preFER meat?#well. meat and cake. not a bad way to party the night away#but the... wine? champagne? pls dont tell me theyve been drinking. do not give the tops alcohol. BAD things will happen#so many stressed eiden dolls.... i wish him peace... maybe one day he can lie peacefully on a bed of roses and not be set on fire#he would have to risk it during a daytime bottoms outing. apparently (and even then the risk is still not nonexistent)#(mostly because edmond+food creates an uncharacteristic uptick in disasters. plus the puppy exuberance. plus rei . just rei)#(once again i feel sorry for oli. is he the only one with a metaphorical eiden doll fire extinguisher? we should do a plot twist.#make OLI the one to accidentally set eiden doll on fire. and garu extinguishes it. enrich their experiences with novelty and unlikely stats#this image was brought to my attention by a puppy hellbent on showing me yakumo's distressed expression#can't say i'm displeased with it

I will admit I'm a little salty that people, in an effort to prove that there is no good dialogue in Veilguard at all, keep comparing mission exposition to the high point narrative set pieces of prior games. I agree that some of the writing related to plot mechanics and mission exposition in Veilguard is a little too utilitarian, but that doesn't mean none of the dialogue is good or that prior games didn't also sometimes have this issue here and there.
I also generally dislike when people put the bar for good writing — and all writing too, not even just dialogue writing, ALL writing — at mic-drop sentences that still sound good completely divorced from context, because that really just reduces "good writing" down to like fake-deep philosophizing or witty quips exclusively. sometimes, a really good bit of dialogue sounds like a completely normal sentence out of context.
#Also writing includes what's on the screen! The castling scene is good writing! Rook struggling to hold onto the statues AND the dagger?#The Siege of Weisshaupt is good writing! It is writing when Rook opens those doors to see Ghilan'nain and realizing oh this is....#Blood of Arlathan! But like just going back to dialogue writing#I think a lot about that INCREDIBLE bit of dialogue in Psych where Shawn say “Since I met you‚ I've been thinking about getting a car.”#Which is a perfectly normal sentence out of context but it makes me so warm bc I know the context#“That he forgives me. And that I deserve it.” is an INCREDIBLE moment that NEEDS its context#“What did we sign up for?” “Love‚ I think.” is another one#But even if we were to just go for Veilguard lines that are still great out of context? It has those?#I see all of you into “There is no fate but the love we share” which IS a great quote#“He is loyal to nothing but his own fears” and “The gods! They give strength but all they ask in return is everything”#“Regret is even strong enough to serve as the lock on a prison built to hold gods. But such a prison can hold any captive... even you.”#“Everything dies. People‚ cities‚ empires. Fashions. Your favorite song. Things fade and are forgotten. [cont.]#Why would you want to outlast everything you love? It sounds like a terrible fate.”#“Do you really think something inside you has changed?” “It's possible. Or maybe we're the same. But does that mean we'll BE the same?”#“The cost of mercy is too high when others may die in its wake.”#and so on and so on and that's just stuff I remember off the top of my head#DATV things

something something Mytho's entire character being, as @schafpudel so eloquently put it, associated with self destruction; something something the heartless princes inability to connect with the world and care; something something the raven!Mytho's hair trigger temper and capricioussness; something something Drosselemeyer's personality and what his life and interpersonal relationships must've looked like when he was still a mortal human man; something something Mytho's entire being as an expression of trauma, of loneliness, of psychological struggles of his author.
#princess tutu#mytho#drosselemeyer#analysis#like#Drosselmeyer was a difficult man for sure. so like#he MUST'VE had a hard time in his personal life#i know bcs im difficult and was even worse in childhood#and ok maybe i dont have the same level of bullshit going on as mr I-can-warp-reality(<-implied god complex)#but like#i can see it clear as day#my guy was in misery#and you know how ppl are when they percieve someone as bad enough to be deserving of certain things#rightful anger can quickly snowball into vengefulness#and a lot of ppl take a cerain sadistic glee in doleing out justice#i imagine even before he may or may not have become dangerous enough that he needed to be stopped#he incurred enough wrath in people for them to decide to hit back ten times as hard#and i imagine lines were crossed#we can argue all day and night how much if any sympathy certain ppl deserve#at the end of the day cruel treatment has a bad effect on everyone no matter how cruel they are themselves#idk im trying to explain this without woobyfying him#like. that shit dude is also a dude. like me. like us#the pain is real and the same in every person it occurs in#yanno???#fate.txt

additional headcanon for the memories in her soulscape being blacked out because I Like Her
#still thinking about that one line where she goes ''why were we even researching immortality in the first place?''#How Did you Get here meemaw#definitely not the type of person who can accept failiure and also definitely cannot accept the fact that she has been#in the wrong for several centuries at this point thus she will not even risk making that realization#nine sols#eigong#doodle#i've said this before but just in the tags of a post or two so it gets a post of its own because I Like Her#you may notice this is the exact same way i characterize my very own evil middle aged woman Oas but it makes sense . amen.#Eigolar Time

not me seeing a crack theory on A-Q being Alina and now my brain is buzzing like that one meme of possible connections
#[ ;text ]#magia exedra spoilers#just in case#magia exedra#madoka magica#like it is a very far out there theory imo#and yet. my brain may be latching on.#same voice actress? ...ah but that might not mean much.#green? yeah there's a number of green girls. also it's differentiating.#the line that was like >I can't go in there(the windows) in this body< that had me do a double take last night#but that could mean anything#like. yeah he probably wasn't always in that form is at least a solid guess#the 'irreplaceable works of art' line that also had me pause even if I didn't know the Alina theory#Being in this game with Puella Pictura at all--#_A_-Q.....#.......but all of that could mean literally anything and nothing. doesn't mean he's Alina#this is me trying to convince myself out of latching onto that theory WHEEZE

hold on wait. wait. regime change between when show!armand leaves delhi, and when he's turned into a vampire. god. i'm thinking about his speech to madeleine, his "what will you do when there is nothing left of your era?". if he tried to visit the village he came from during his time with marius, he will likely have witnessed exactly that. within his mortal life. armand believes he is uniquely suited to endure immortal life, to adapt and survive no matter what. he might have seen the fall of the lodi dynasty while he was in his 20s; maybe that's why. but god. how devastating. his village might even have been destroyed in the fall of the lodi dynasty. what do you do if you are taken from your home and when you finally have the freedom and strength to return to it, it is unrecognisable to you. fuck.
#armandposting#asterisk asterisk asterisk. i have never studied the delhi sultanates this is just from reading wikipedia.#also as with all regime changes on the scale of something like the lodi dynasty. random village people probably dont care unless theyre#being killed in the process#historians are always arguing about how much continuity there is when X regime falls to give way to Y dynasty#i cant remove that line of thinking from my head. perhaps the lodi dynasty falls and armand's home village is unaffected. HOWEVER!#tis interesting to think about. additional ten years spent by show!armand in the palazzo you will always be famous to me.#iwtv#iwtv amc#thunder rambles#releasing this from the drafts cuz i thought about it again#with them changing the timeline so louis' time in new orleans is set during the upheaval of the early 20th century. AND changing#lestat's time in paris so that it takes place during the french revolution...... i feel like the change in armand's timeline may be#for the same reason (re: the emotional turmoil of the characters is reflected in the chaos of society that surrounds them#and may even feed into that turmoil)#idk though. of course armand is in venice when this is happening so maybe i need to look at whats happening there during the 1510s lolsies#still! worth thinking about

Momentarily breaking my suicidal posting to say that I still find it unhinged how I attempted to very quickly word search through my pdf of Hork-Bajir Chronicles to see if any pools are mentioned (I need my beautiful spreadsheet of various Animorphs information to be accurate) and well yes technically I got greeted by the information I needed but I also got greeted by an absolutely INSANE way to begin a chapter, especially when it's the character's FIRST NARRATED CHAPTER. EVER.
Visual rendition:
#like uh. well. yeah thanks for the info dude but also what the fuck. what the fuck.#'i was born in a sterile titanium-alloy tank' will haunt both my mind and vocabulary for years I fear#like genuinely such a 'i was born with glass bones and paper skin' sentence. I'm unsure what situations it would be useful for#but so far i seem to randomly repeat it when I'm in a shit situation. but it has to be a specific#situation. otherwise i instead say 'i miss my wife; Tails. I miss her a lot... I'll be back.'#and if it's a very specific type of shit situation i might burst out 'I had a wife but they took her in the divorce'#and if the horrors persist i just borrow from Dreamcatcher and say 'SSDD' aka Same Shit Different Day#or i borrow the 'No bounce no play' line if I feel especially resigned to my fate#but yeah anyway that's definitely going into my vocabulary it took me the fuck out. by god what a way to begin your narration#that's like if someone met me for the first time and i immediately blurted out:#'Im light-wrath-paradise. i was born in no ordinary town. my birth transpired in a shitty hospital in the meth-filled city called Zlín in an#even shittier region. While my peers spoke of the joy of their mothers during pregnancy. My conception was painful and harsh.'#like...you see how unhinged that is???#and nevermind the sheer out of the left field-ness of it all; i read it and I genuinely went '??? Dude??? Are you okay?'#like i think that earned him his name privileges. which is kinda funny when you think about it because I'm pretty sure that referring to a#character by their title would be more respectful but for me a title or a rank is something replaceable. it's not tied to you.#it's something you may inhabit and then it can be taken from you. it's not any different than when a rich guy calls his gardener#just that - gardener - no matter what. it disregards the person and the identity. so actually when i call a character by their name I'm#being nicer. so me saying that it earned him name privileges is basically me saying#'i had to do such a double take that it made the comedy of only ever calling him by his rank leave my body and for a split second i instead#felt so immensely bad that i started referring to him by his name and it stuck'

The most famous man in the world
#whenever i see him in the flashlights and cameras infront of him and the flashes and all that#i wonder...#this is kind of his world#he is used to the attention of the media the flashes the cameras the photographers#because he all experienced that during his showbusiness years#and yet ... this is so different#there was press during his first years#but this right now ... is PRESS#he literally cant go anywhere or do anything without the world documenting it for the later#because hes writing history so everything needs to be captured#when he says he gave up his private life#its not just living separately from his family and rarely seeing them#its also literally giving up his private life ... now and in the future#and dealing with the press is probably much much much harder right now#besides their neverending questions and demands and what he can say and how#and always keeping in mind how they could spin it and what this would mean for ukraine#there are so many cameras ... nothing stays unnoticed not even one second#he cant be weak or tired or not energetic or tell them “not today”#he always has to represent ukraine no matter what story his eyes or the lines on his face may say#(same for olena)#(she never wanted that attention and especially not the spotlight)#(and she still hates it and also always have to pull herself together)#(because she also has to always represent ukraine)#(and like gave up his private life ... with her decision to stay and be at his side and help she also made that decision)

Is Kesten a kinda stick-in-the-mud who probably works way too much? Yeah. Did I like him from the very first moment he was introduced? Yeah...
The (newly!) Baroness, Kesten Garess / Pathfinder Kingmaker (c) Owlcat Games
#pathfinder kingmaker fanart#pfkm#pfkm baroness#kesten garess#comic#owlcat games#pathfinder kingmaker#oc ailcha#kesten#what can I say. I have a soft spot for men who take duty way too seriously.#and I have come to understand that my baroness is a hugger. I am not. I do not know where this came from.#but three comic sketches with her hugging someone kinda gave it away.#also this damn page. after finishing (the first draft) I woke several times in the night with 'important insight' on what needed editing -#('I need to move that detail two steps to the right' or 'that line needs to be darker')#- and it just wouldn't stop. first draft is from may and since then I've just postponed posting because 'hmm. something... is off...'#it's interesting how the process can differ each time even if you stick with the same routine. but like. please. please let's just post it.#I am really feeling that joke about how you name your 'finished' files. this one is called x_pfk_kesten4copy3.png

ok ok its my fault for being on reddit but r/houseofthedragon rn full of people arguing that demon and his 99% neck lizard have a stronger bond than aegon and sunfyre and it's so fucking frustrating that its entirely condolt's fucking fault that this is even a fucking argument because he thinks the greatest bond between a dragon and his rider to ever go that fucking hard in this universe is pRopaganda and gives dae mon and car ax es more screentime. i'm just so fucking done man. never showed us sunfyre TRULY until it was time for demon jr the anime edgelord to attack him and aegon, never get the fact that sunfyre is literally on aegon's arms, never got the coronation flying, DIDN'T GET ANYTHING UNTIL IT WAS TIME TO FUCK HIM UP FOR THE PLOT.
i wish this mf would get fucking fired before he has a chance to touch these two anymore because I don't think i can handle how he will underplay and butcher the fact that this dragon literally fought tooth and claw with a broken wing to find his way back to his rider.
#tbd#anti ryan condal#hotd critical#anti hotd#Sunfyre#Aegon II Targaryen#and this mf gave so much screentime to FUCKING VERMITHOR BEFORE HE WAS EVEN NEEDED#that should've gone to dreamfyre and sunfyre#i'm like y'know what we need to manifest alan taylor for sunfyre aegon eps bc i can't deal with this#at least i know that man likes these two 😭😭😭#and i'm still like its so obvious who sunfyre is named for but tom and phia can beg for helaegon and will get fuck all#meanwhile other actors can suggest whatever they want and get it#and it's like the only other dragon/rider bond i was so looking forward to was sheepstealer/nettles#that is just completely taken from us#i'm so anxious about how they'll ruin eggfyre tho#because knowing condumb i wouldn't put it past him to be immensely fucking uncharitable to aegon's grief when he finally does lose him#i already saw someone dunking on aegon for the line(TM)#and i'm like man...#i have a lot of thoughts but can we please remember that he's 1) speaking to his council#only decides he needs a dragon after he's told morning hatched for rhaena#2) says new sunfyre in response to borros saying 'how about silverwing' sunfyre is the fucking standard#ALSO SAME FUCKING CLOWN SHITS ON EGGFYRE TO SAY ITS AKSHUALLY DAN Y DRO GON#i know you have read the same books#he is disobedient as fuck despite her being mommy#do not compare. she may get there maybe but she sure as hell ain't there yet#hotd spoilers#fire and blood#just in case whatever

The pokemon anime subreddit fascinates and frustrates me on equally deep levels
#smiling and blinking innocently. long tags ahead :) being normal :)🌸☀️☘️✌️💐#i'm such a 'minding my own business' person in fandom. i feel like my usual reaction to seeing takes I disagree with is#'well. people probably hate some of my takes so whatever'. perhaps even the ones i'm about to share#but. man.#it's like a portal to 2010 forum discourse but goh and serena are there this time.#deeply fascinated by the repetition of old ship wars too????#what do you mean we're still having legitimate 'but drew and gary are mean' discourse 😭#i mean by all means they should keep arguing because mostly i'm just glad that the wider pokeani sphere remembers drew at all#but that being said i wonder what kind of rivalry these people would have wanted instead?????#because there's other rivalries we could point to where they weren't air-quotes 'mean'. but we have those and people ignore them lol#because they're-imo- usually less engaging and dynamic. except for dawn and zoey who have never done anything wrong in their lives.#like we COULD give everyone the supportive happy rival experience a la may and grace or whatever but that's just not the SAME#and augh. taking psychic damage and trying to be normal but that's the THINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG OKAY#are Gary and Drew needlessly mean in early episodes? yeah lmao. i'm not arguing on that. they suck ❤️ completely insufferable.#b u t#there's that line. right. the line where it slowly slides into backhanded compliments too and giving that motivation-#-for their rival to work harder and the fact that they want that reaction and attention from this one person so badly.#like shipping aside I really do think that the friction of the Gary/Ash and May/Drew rivalries is what made them GOOD.#and yeah sometimes it was out of line but also that's just how the dub is as a whole tbh. they just said whatever shit they could 😭#AND BACK TO THE BEING NICE THING. Ash and May both got growth from their nice rivalries but not what they got from Gary/Drew.#it's different types of growth and lessons and they needed both kinds from different sources. I'd argue the rougher rivalries taught more?#regardless of your opinions on the characters themselves you can't deny that Gary/Paul/Drew/Harley/etc- the rivals that pushed A&M-#had the biggest impact on their growth over the rivals that didn't push. note that 'friends' and 'rivals' are different categories for this#I'm pitting. like. gary and paul against morrison and ritchie and not against dawn or pikachu or brock or whatever. different convo.#but it was growth out of spite to be better than the jackass rival at first and then that CHANGED INTO MUTUAL BETTERMENT#AND WANTING TO BE BETTER ✨FOR✨ AND ✨WITH✨ THEIR RIVAL. OKAY. (re: gary and drew specifically)#and as a result of all of this. drew and gary did get better to be fair!#well gary did kind of just start picking on goh instead gjkhsdkfj (joking) but ykwim.#DAMN IT I'M OUT OF ROOM AND IT DELETED A WHOLE ASS PART 2 THAT I HAD TYPED OUT#fine. i'll make this its own post at some point because i yearn to yap on about it

gang i have to share this P. G. Wodehouse quote with you all because ever since I found it I can't stop thinking about it. it's from a letter he wrote when he was 78 years old to his friend Guy Bolton (many thanks to P. G. Wodehouse: A Life in Letters)
I have been on the sick list myself, but am better now. Inflamed bladder or chill on the bladder or something, the symptoms being agony when I passed water, as the expression is. It brought back the brave old days when I used to get clap.
he really said "yeah the pain from my bladder issue reminds of the days when I used to have so much sex I repeatedly got venereal disease"
#red randomness#p. g. wodehouse#he was so known for not having sex with his beloved wife#that i truly didn't expect this at all#i feel like i see a lot of people saying with a great deal of confidence that he was sex-repulsed ace#especially due to the wife thing#but while he certainly may have been ace on some level#i feel like at the very least this casts some doubt on the sex-repulsed part lmao#i suppose it's possible he was lying but wouldn't this be such a specific and unnecessary lie in this context?#especially for a private letter to a friend he'd known and worked with for decades#because he really didn't even need to bring it up#of course i am open to evidence to the contrary#i just dislike seeing overconfident opinions broadly prevail#even when aspects of a real person's life suggest the possibility of otherwise#the study of history is meant to breed discussion!#and something that goes against the grain of past assumption is certainly worth discussing imo#also very grateful to the unpublished monograph by George Simmers about Honeysuckle Cottage#because that's how i found out about this letter in the first place!#great monograph mr. simmers please publish it someday#opened my third eye about the potential latent homosexuality in that story (among other things)#and at risk of having someone get mad at me or say i'm trying to like. diminish or slander the ace community by saying this#please don't assume that. that's why i've been afraid to share this before.#i'm not confidently stating wodehouse is anything. he's a real man who lived and i didn't know him#but by the same token neither does anyone else#i'm just as tired of people in history who have a fair amount of suggestion of being aroace being broadly assumed gay#despite evidence to the contrary#or people confidently assigning queerness to historical figures when evidence of them being queer in any way is ambiguous at best#everything in history is a maybe. we just collect facts and analyze them.#and my current analysis based on this line is that i'm not sure i think he was very sex-repulsed after all#(but like. i'm not going around insulting or fighting people about it in dms or something. and neither should you)
