Batkids in Metropolis
For context: they have sunglasses on, bc it's Metropolis, and they're fucking Gothamites AND bats so...
Cass: It's so...
Cass: It's so bright here.
Duke: Right? How can anyone live here?
Steph *putting on second pair of sunglasses*: Oh man, it gives me flashbacks.
Tim: Wtf, Steph. Flashbacks to what?
Jason: To death. Duh.
*Steph and Jason high-five*
Dick *just wanted a break from Bruce's bullshit*: Sometimes I hate you so much. Why do everything have to be a death joke to you?
Steph: I don't know what you're talking about...
Steph: I'm dead sirious.
Duke: 1/5, unoriginal.
Steph: Hey!
Damian's home bc he's grounded. He skipped school again. Jason and Tim paughed at him and he's now plotting revenge.

spoilers for the vengeance saga!!!!
what i love about the poseidon and odysseus dynamic is that throughout the sagas they both used each others words/threats back against them/each other.
like in remember them in the cyclops saga you have odysseus shouting to polyphemus
"I AM YOUR DARKEST MOMENT"
which in ruthlessness in the ocean saga, poseidon doesn't shout it but does coldly repeat the words back to odysseus after murdering 500+ of his men.
and of course you had poseidon also saying (before the murder of 500+ men)
"so close your heart, the world is dark and ruthlessness is mercy-"
and now in six hundred strike in the vengeance saga, the tables have turned and poseidon is at odysseus's mercy (and very clear lack of) that while STABBING HIM WITH HIS OWN TRIDENT REPEATEDLY, odysseus throws poseidon's words back at him (while being all stabby stab stab)
"told me to close my heart"
"you said the world was dark"
"didn't you say that ruthlessness is mercy upon our-"
like damn odysseus, impaling a god repeatedly with his own weapon ain't enough huh?
#god i love jorge and his constant callbacks/throwbacks to lines from the other sagas#odysseus is the monster rawr rawr rawr#the moment poseidon saw him pick up his trident#you know internally he was like#i immediately regret this decision#odysseus#poseidon#epic: the vengeance saga#epic: the musical#the vengeance saga#epic the vengeance saga#the vengeance saga spoilers#jorge rivera herrans

hehe ghost-turbo haunting felix au
turbo is connected to the last piece of his code in the whole arcade - a trophy he gifted to felix in mid 80s as a symbol of him genuinely caring about their relationships on par with being the best racer. felix also gave him one of his medals and both kept their gifts next to other rewards, but when roadblasters and turbotime were unplugged, the medal was gone with everything else
now, after burning in cola-lava turbo is basically dead, but scraps of his code still were intertwined with the trophy (after all, it was his first winner's cup, but felix never knew about it), giving turbo an opportunity to exist as a shadow incapable of interacting with anything and anyone besides felix, who kept the trophy even after the roadblasters incident
also I went crazy in tags, feel free to check them out
#turbo#turbotastic#fix it felix jr#80s boyfriends#hammertastic#headcanon about them exchanging their trophies isn't mine but i loved it A LOT#and “darling” is turbo making fun of how felix was calling him in 80s#this hc about “doll” and “darling” pet names also is not mine but i adore it#turbo here is a complete freak who just stays around felix most of the time even when felix has moments with calhoun#and felix is an ass who keeps secrets from everyone bc he doesn't want his dirt to come out#he's ashamed of his previous relationship with turbo and doesn't want anyone to know any details#and calhoun to just know about it#this just gets worse and worse#they also didn't actually break up and were still technically dating when turbo went gamejumping#and he's mad af at felix because he's the reason ppl in the acrade made a boogeyman out of turbo and he couldn't come back#like imagine your bf says to you what you are better than others think of you#and then behind your (presumably dead) back tells everyone that you're just an egocentric maniac#i believe turbo has other reasons why he gamejumped (besides jealousy which took place but wasn't the most important reason)#and felix is an unreliable narrator#so yeah turbo HATES his ass#(but still would-) no im not making it suggestive#anyway i hc that turbo had put A LOT of emotions in this relationship even tho he's bad at this#he tried his best with felix but they were just making each other worse#and turbo while feeling betrayed never really moved on (yes even after 25 years he's PATHETIC)#and felix is just full of regret about everything but he won't admit his mistakes in his relationship with turbo#bc “well he turned out to be a bad person so that automatically makes me in the right about everything”#but felix had made a lot of bad decisions while dating turbo and was just classically ignorant about a ton of things#sorry about this random ass essay in tags i'm done for now#wreck it ralph#wir

attack dogs shouldn't bite the hands that feed them
#vandermarston#john marston#dutch van der linde#rdr2#red dead#artner#im finally making the decision to vandermarston post on main bc ive seen some other ppl actively making content for the rarepair#im excited !!! i wanna contribute !!!#obligatory disclaimer that ik dutch/john are unhealthy toxic yaoi etc etc but thats sort of the entire Point#the main storyline of rdr is about how dutch manipulates vulnerable people into following him and how he wields affection like a weapon#to coerce his followers into endangering themselves so he can protect himself and satiate his greed and his ego#and he canonically has groomed john into a life of crime that john spends the rest of his life struggling to break away from#so uhhhhhhh i think of vandermarston as a natural extension of themes present in the source text.#where its about power dynamics and cycles of regret and affection and manipulation.#my intention was to frame it like that in this art piece.#lately ive been drawing hand studies and ive gotten rlly into the idea of hands as a visual motif for control and power. like puppeteering#w this art im trying to focus on johns emotional turmoil with dutch as a shadowy powerful figure that stands above him.#yknow ?????#anyways. thats my rambling artist statement on it.#totally understand if this ship makes u uncomfortable (that is the Point) but i will be posting more about vm in the future.#feel free to blacklist the tag 'vandermarston' in advance of that#art#pardner posts#🤠

thinking about how andrew minyard sees relationships as transactions. he can't fathom anyone wanting him to stick around so he buys the right to stay by offering something valuable in exchange – protection.
thinking about how he rushes to make deals with those he wants to keep close. thinking about how even the people that do genuinely appreciate him (betsy, renee, wymack) are tied by a deal. and he can't truly know if they would still be at his side without it.
#i know this has all been said before but it's been on my mind a lot recently#i think nicky is the only one that andrew didn't make a deal with and i can't figure out why#maybe he thought he'd be regretting his decision and leaving soon and he decided to focus on aaron who'd still be around?#i don't know but the more i think about this the sadder i get. the only person that andrew knows for sure stayed without a deal is neil#then eventually aaron and kevin but my point stands#andrew minyard#neil josten#aftg#all for the game

And some days, I just wish you wouldn't look at me at all.
#ffxiv#sketch#wol#meteor survivor#zenos yae galvus#adventurer zenos#oh no#its the consequences of his actions#everything is fine until the only man on the star you care about looks at you with the same contempt your father did#(Meteor's not doing it intentionally- its a reflex after he comes back for quite a bit)#and zenos is getting bodied because its been a while since... you know... him being able to really feel anything at all#and no- its not him regretting anything that had to do with varis- just him regretting the thought meteor could look at him like that#little does Meteor know he's emotionally bodying the man he's trying to be cordial with#its a little okay because in how I write adventurer zenos this serves as one of his main wake-up calls to make some changes#and realizing both the mistakes he's made with meteor and that meteor hating him in any way is actually -not at all- what he wants#but not okay on the end that every time meteor does this he has to watch zenos actively dissociate right in front of him#until zenos just kinda autopilots and walks away#the second time (or perhaps third) in the last 11 years that zenos has felt regret to any major capacity-#on meteor's end I just enjoy seeing the progression of the WoL through subtext#and why meteor is willing to even entertain the idea despite how much he hates zenos- his decisions and the path he's walked#is the realization that there is high chance that he could actually be a direct catalyst for zenos' growth#and the realization the wol has that they were the only one zenos has ever genuinely reached out to#besides- i just like the idea of having your equal other half fighting back to back with you- or being able to handle threats you cant#and i find their dynamic neat- of meteor not forgiving zenos but giving him his last chance- and growing to enjoy being around him#and zenos being able to work on moving past being the weapon or the monster- finding the connections he's longed for#and giving himself purpose to finally truly just live- for him to learn to experience and have the freedom to find what he enjoys#(and curiously him having estinien's brand of accidently helping people even in StB gives me ideas...)#but enough tag ranting- ill get to zenos' actual adventuring in another post lol

and what if I say that toga and uraraka were the only ones that truly reached out to each other…
#deku and shigaraki in my opinion was definitely something#and shouto did understand touya to some degree but I don’t think that he really got him#bc at the end of the day even if he understood him I don’t think he truly ever understood him to the core#also they didn’t really have any hearts to hearts for me to say that they got each other#touya regretted in some degree his decision because he never actually wanted any of them truly dead#so was it really a change of heart#toga and uraraka on the other hand..#they didn’t really know each other but uraraka still managed to give hope to toga that she truly was seen and accepted by someone that was#considered an enemy uraraka never justified her actions but she understood her origin and truly wanted to help her#and she made obvious#mha#bnha#ochako uraraka#toga himiko

I'm just saying, Orym knows something about being stuck on the death of your first love. Of being constantly reminded of them and their death, seeing signs of them every day, making it that much harder to get over them.
But now he has found a new love, and despite the seeing Will several times, being reminded of him every time he looks at the moons or swings his sword, he is ready to move forward. "It's pretty great, living a lifetime." He wants to try again.
If anyone would have some wise words for Keyleth to help her get through this, it would be him.
#cr spoilers#critical role#cr3#text post#orym#keyleth#vaxleth#or even yasha#but she knows orym and what he has endured#i need to see them talk#even gilmore#who had to get over vax specifically#who vax would go to before life threatening missions in case he died because he wanted to make sure he wouldn't die with regrets#who didn't know it would be the last time he saw vax when he wished him well but later likely found out that vax knew#living with that. keyleth could easily go to him too#i wonder if getting her mum back maybe added to the false hope she could get vax back too#oh even her dad could help with this#though he did actually get his wife back#so maybe not#im just saying there is hope for keyleth yet#getting over him is a decision she needs to actually conciously make but it is possible#so is not getting over him#if she chooses that#she could seek help or she could not but the ball is entirely in her court

I FUCKING LOVE that Blackwhip is literally Izuku's heart. Like...these black strings are almost the only thing we get to know about Izuku's emotions and feelings... because he doesn't voice them out...
And about this last point...I feel like the 'lost of Izuku's pov' arc hasn't come to an actual end to be honest...but that we're getting closer...way more closer than before...i feel it.
#bnha manga spoilers#bakudeku#midoriya izuku#izuku midoriya#yassss baby please tell us everything that has been on your mind...#i need for izuku to talk about his feelings of being quirkless and losing ofa...#he was so emotional about losing it#and now the decision was made#and it seems he regretted it#because the ofa holders were fucking annoying the whole time#(that's the truth tbh but it's not like i wanted them to be dead)#(but yeah)#and he got a moment of losing his arms for real...#and reaching shiggy in an emotional level...#omg this is too much#i don't know what to expect#but i'll trust the process#hori i believe in you

I do wonder what Jericho and generally any android that has ever worshipped/followed/looked up to Markus would react like, finding out that he has had to kill fellow dying androids and rip them of their compatible parts at the scrapyard in order to walk the Earth again
Those were difficult circumstances, so I wonder: Would they blame him? Would they not be able to see him the same again? Or do they empathize and know/think that they would do exactly the same to survive? Do they maybe even know about the whole thing already? Did someone start telling the story of how Markus came back from the dead? Or do they sense it somehow? Has he talked about it to his close friends? Does he think about it? Or was it easy for him to move on because he knows it was the only way? Is that part of why he took on this role of helping all androids? To make up for it? Or does he 100% believe that it was justified?
#I don't stand behind *all* of those rhetorical questions btw#For example I kinda don't think that this has played a big role in his decision to lead them out of hiding#Could make for a nice concept though idk#I kinda like the thought of them just knowing the most#Not by a story but just by seeing him and sort of sensing it#Without that making them see him as a traitor or untrustably dangerous or any less Markus though#Maybe it sends a shiver down their spine whenever someone first meets him though#And then they realize that doesn't actually represent what he does#I also find it hard to believe that he'd regret it or feel immense shame about it though#I do think he'd think of them every once in a while and honor them though#Being thankful for the parts that let him continue living#Love how half of my thoughts are in the tags now lmao I'm not sure if I should take them out of here and place them in the actual post🥸#Detroit Become Human#detroit: become human#Dbh#Dbh thoughts#Dbh ramble#Ramble#Thoughts#Dbh Markus#markus rk200#Markus Manfred#Jericho#Dbh Jericho

something that will never fail to be amusing to me is when an mdzs college au needs the name of a professor, and then suddenly shen qingqiu is there
#ah yes professor shen we all know him#would love to see a fic that is like. largely focused on whatever mdzs characters are thrown into the college au setting#but you get the impression there's some kind of b-plot happening just off screen#where shen-laoshi is having some kind of weird drama with his former TA#or even just like. in the middle of class or office hours or something#professor shen's absurdly beautiful husband shows up to deliver him lunch#im imagining wwx going into office hours or something#and his brain to mouth filter completely fails him and he makes some comment like damn shen-laoshi's got game!#sqq regrets every decision he's ever made and lbh is having to remind himself that he's not allowed to kill his husband's students#anyway. i think it's silly and i enjoy it#i mostly only see it with sqq but i did read a fic once where one of the random jin kids bullying jin ling#was named luo bingbing and i was like ??#i don't think it was a reference to him but it felt like too strong of a coincidence#i think more scum villain characters should be random background characters in mdzs aus. it's very funny#sqh and jgy work in the same accounting firm or something#lqg is jc's personal trainer. idk.

I can't get over people going on about Solas' redemption ending as though it's the best outcome, like... he only agrees to "atone" because he's LOST. If he had won that fight, he would have gone ahead with exactly what he wanted. At no point has he ever considered what he could actually do to help all the people he's wronged, he just wants to fix his own mistake (the Veil).
And to say that his is the best redemption in Dragon Age? When Blackwall is right there? Blackwall gets less content and has a much better redemption arc than Solas could ever dream of. Blackwall makes the decision himself to accept the consequences of what he did, even if those consequences mean death, and he's angry with an Inquisitor who takes those consequences from him. But if he is allowed to live? He then spends the rest of his life making up for his actions. Solas doesn't even consider other options until Rook's holding a dagger to his throat.
#solas critical#why are we giving this man so much credit for just giving up when he's lost and saying he'll atone#who would believe him anyway#he's literally just lied to rook's face four times in a row#what has he ever actually tried to do to help the people he's wronged#nothing#he wants to bring the veil down because “it would be better”#when it actually would kill everyone (but it's fine because they aren't people to him)#but that isn't helpful#that isn't righting the wrongs he's committed to the titans and to the dwarves etc#it's just fixing his mistake#he doesn't care about the wrongs he's committed but just the mistakes he's made#if he cared about what he'd done he would be trying to fix it#and tearing down the Veil wouldn't be the way to do that#the only thing tearing down the Veil actually fixes? The unintended consequences of his actions#Doesn't matter that it's been thousands of years and tearing down the Veil now isn't helping anyone but him#he's a spirit of pride#his regrets? decisions he made where he didn't foresee the consequence of his actions#not the consequences themselves#because lets not pretend he cares about what he did to the dwarves#(also don't get me started on what they did to morrigan in DAV purely for solas' storyline)#(i will never get over how much they destroyed her for the sake of a man's unearned redemption)
