For Cecio! 🟣 Purple- What is something that your OC could not live without? What keeps them grounded in the worst of times?

Tyy<33

if i say the lies he tell himself. its the right answer but im not sure its the spirit of the question.

Cecio lies to himself a lot, shaping the world around him into something understandable and bearable. he has a surprisingly binary and black and white way of thinking on the relationships between people, in in other ways. he can do bad things to a bad person because they deserve it, he can do bad things to a 'good' person bc secretly they are a bad person and its either him or someone else that's gonna do bad things to them. this person is a good person so he should feel guilt about ruining their life, but hes a victim so that overrides/balances out him being a perpetrator.

it is very shaky, the logic and positioning changing from moment to moment, but it keeps him safe and sane, excusing what he does and making the world seem more bearable. when his worldview and lies are so challenged they are broken, he just reshapes his worldview and code to suit him again.

in wotr, this shows most in his favoring of extremes. Lawful Good isnt working out? chaotic evil time! being kind isnt working, time to be selfish!! hes just acting how he deserves to act, and his mind and code will reshape themselves to justify why.

he cant live with himself without lying to himself about what hes doing and why, but because of the flexibility of those lies, he rarely has to face the truth. he wont twist thinsg beyond reason, wont make himself a good man, but he will just soften and excuse his actions enough that he can live with himself.

what keep him grounded in the worst of times? the idea that what hes doing has a purpose, that no matter how cruel or kind, there is a reason, if not justification, for what he does. that reason can be longwindedly related to his survival, can be spite, as a mockery of justice, it can be anything, as long as he has a reason he can tell himself, and he can tell himself anything.

Though there are valid reasons to want characters to have their own identities, I think some people insist too much on the Batfamily having all individual, unique names. This is why the Orphan name persists so much in fandom, or even Wayne Family Adventures - it's a byproduct of seeing 'Batgirl' as transitory and lesser than. This is not only a misunderstanding of Batgirl, but a misunderstanding of legacy mantles. Legacy mantles aren't stepping stones towards individuality, but identities with symbolic and storied histories. Characters can, and sometimes should, end in a legacy role.

It's also interesting that this anti-legacy philosophy is exactly what DC adopted during the New 52. They destroyed virtually every legacy they could, including wiping Tim's Robin history, erasing the JSA, and deleting Cass and Steph's histories. We all agree New 52 was bad, but most people focus on the content/ramifications on a specific character, when it's the philosophy that was wrong. New 52 was an effort to diminish the power of legacy titles, and to dismiss many characters that fall under the legacy umbrella.

Some characters should grow out of their mantles, of course. But that doesn't make the mantle they grow out of less meaningful or important than the mantle they step into. If we want to leave the New 52 behind, we need to leave its anti-legacy philosophy behind, too.

actually let's all ponder bakugou taking ballet lessons

[mellosdrawings]

Is Leona a good dancer, or is he just basic?

He's a decent dancer. As a prince he's been taught a handful of dances (waltz and other traditional kenyan dances (Isukuti or Mwomboko maybe?)) to attend political events and balls, but he doesn't particularly likes it. He'd rather stand to the side and munch on appetizers.

Though if Jamil and Vil ask nicely enough he can be prompted into waltzing with them every once in a while.

(If you wanna see a bunch of dance moves from all over the world, you can check ed.people on Insta. He has excellent shorts!)

I need more jock! regulus fics like he was also an athlete okay and he’s a black so he never does things in halves. I need regulus being buff or if not at the very least having the biggest sleeper build of all time. I need him to appear all calm and collected until his favourite quidditch team/football team is on then he goes crazy - he yells and screams and has zero filter. I need him to do workouts at home cause wdym he’s going to slack in the holidays he’s a black - just jock regulus guys
