Some Batfam Headcanons because the brain never stops;
Jason hates being called "Bruce's Son". But he hates it more when hes called "One of Wayne's Orphans/Wayne's child" because fuck you I'm his son-! wait no--
With the exception of Damian, they rarely refer to Bruce as "Dad/Father". Either it didn't occur to them/didn't see the need to/thought it would be strange. But when Dick/Jason/Tim/Cass are tired or injured it might slip out. And Bruce might just crumble a bit at it
Doesn't mean they don't say it to their siblings when Bruce is out of Earshot.
"Dad said you couldn't." "What do you mean Dad said I couldn't use that mug? It's my mug!" "You snooze you lose Timmy Boy-" "Jason don't be an asshole-"
That being said Bruce says "son/daughter/child" at every available opportunity he can after he knows that they have acclimated enough that they wouldn't be uncomfortable/know they can tell Bruce that they don't want to be called that.
First time Bruce called Dick "son" in a way that meant "You are my kid" and not in a "This police officer just called me son with a brow furrow" way Dick grinned and carried on with the conversation. Later he wondered if his dad wouldn't like someone else calling him Son; but Dick thinks about the life he was given because of Bruce and thinks maybe his dad wouldn't mind.
Calling Jason "son" is a hit or miss situation, even before he died. The first time it happened he was confused, he didnt think that was the relationship they had and it made everything change for him. He got frustrated--not angry--with himself and Bruce at this sudden emotional turmoil. Wasn't he just the kid Bruce picked up in an alleyway? Wasn't he just some street rat in bright Robin clothing? (He lets himself believe that he can be Bruce's son. If for only a little while).
Tim cries after Bruce is out of earshot, it would've been a year or so after his parents died and he was adopted. He didn't think he could have been wanted like that again. Even if you think the Drake's had A+ Parenting or not, I don't think he would have gotten a lot of confirmation of being wanted otherwise.
Cass smiles, emotions carefully concealed under her expression. She's grateful she found Bruce and he doesn't mention it if she leans a bit closer in a request for closeness.
Damian doesn't expect anything less, he only appears satisfied. But also relieved that he has gotten the confirmation that yes, Bruce wants and accepts him.
EDIT 10/11; hiii, i have added Duke, Steph & a Bonus in a reblog you can find on the same blog under my 'batfamily headcanons' / 'sore rambles' tag. have fun :)
#these are just my thoughts#they dont have to align with your own!#i am also trying to find a healthy balance between being emotional and being Angry for jason--#he wasnt the angry robin dammit! maybe emotional and a bit more physical but cmon#points at Dick 'Eldest Daughter Syndrome' Grayson#when dick gets older i would imagine that he would resent being called anything in relation to bruce#if its just for his angst phase when he first becomes nightwing or if hes dealing with his own identity/or going through a fight w bruce#i also find the father / son dynamic with dick & damian interesting so i might ponder on that a bit more#also giving tim insecurity issues about where he fits in with the batfam is important to my soul (i have problems)#sore rambles#lotuspowder rambles#batfam#dcu#bruce wayne#dick grayson#jason todd#tim drake#cassandra cain#damian wayne#batfam headcanons#dc headcanon#headcanon#batkids#batkids headcanon#HI IF YOURE LOOKI

have you tried being kind in the face of pain? maybe that'll get you more bitches
Misanthropists... you are not evil for your thoughts on humanity being negative... I don't share the same beliefs or sentiment about humanity, but your experiences are valid, and you don't owe anybody love for the human race. Nobody owes anyone positive feelings, especially if there's a justified reason for those negative feelings.
Shoutout to the misanthropists who are nonhuman because of their misanthropy, by the way. As well as misanthropists who are misanthropic due to being disabled and were often mistreated by humans due to their disability.
As long as you aren't harming anyone else based on them being human, you're fine, and I don't think you're evil... I see it almost the same way humans hate mosquitoes with a passion. You have every right to feel the way you do, and you don't owe anybody an explanation for your feelings.
#being aggressively kind is likeable.#being hateful at hate gets you more hate#'oh but ur not being kind to prev' because i dont want to be kind to them#but i think if i WAS kind to them i could fix them#but also i don't care they sound like a 12 year old who's having issues on the internet#one day they'll grow up and go “oh god i was so cringe and terrible” while sitting outside as a bee flies to them and they feel no fear#and they are calm and safe and they can see the flowers dancing in the wind#and they'll be eating their favorite food while the river nearby splashes happy bubbly sounds#and they'll have nearly forgotten all about their hatred towards others#and they'll find good in this world#or they might end up running themselves into a ditch of despair but i am not here to babysit them and care for them.#i have my own issues to deal with#i'm just waiting on something and it's taking its time so im on tumblr on a random syscourse blog#giving prev a nice idea to contemplate or smth idk#touch grass maybe? that would be good. pick a flower. watch the clouds.#anyway this is too long a tag ramble for op's post i apologize op#also people's feelings on the human race can be very complicated#i hate a lot of humans but i love that humans exist so.

my #girltrauma means i think all people who look like men are nasty and evil, especially those queer men theyre probably rapist pedophiles invading womens sorry lgbt+ spaces. i guess youre ok if you used to be a girl but i think you need to dress more feminine, honey, like sorry im just uncomfortable around men and i think you i would be so much happier and prettier if you just dressed like a girl.
#transandrophobia#“just detransition and be miserable so you can talk to other queer folks bc i dont want to deal with my own issues?”#no fucking wonder transmascs have the highest suicide rate with allies like this#(also to be clear this is satire and not my opinions)

What would Peri’s power level be if he didn’t have his inhibitor/stabilizer wand and just went apeshit?
While Cosmo deals with too much magic in his body, Peri suffers from a slightly different issue. Cosmo has the greatest amount of magic in Fairy World. Peri is incapable of regulating his magic.
Peri cannot, not then as a child and not now in the present, control his magic. Without his inhibitor, he can easily destroy an entire realm- just as he nearly destroyed Earth as a baby. This fact has not changed, although it is less plausible today than back then.
Peri's taken extra measures in the present-day to ensure it cannot happen.

random Hunter headcanon GO!
AHH OKAY one of my random hcs is that hunter's smile is kinda asymmetrical/lopsided/wider on the left side cuz of his scars, especially after thanks to them. i imagine they'd significantly pull on his skin and could even affect nerves and definitely some range of motion, so-
sorta like this:
#i think it'd be very charming and neat :) but also sad cuz of the Reason for it OOF........ but charming. little dude#the owl house#hunter toh#in general i also feel like his scars are gonna significantly affect him cuz like. they cover a LARGE area. realistically they would#he has lots of experience with scars and injuries and knows how to deal with it all#cuz he rather didn't have access to a healer but needed medical attention a LOT so he defo had to learn how to patch himself up on his own#but also... i can imagine that with all of his responsibilities at the coven properly taking care of scars wasn't exactly his no.1 priority#so i like to think that if he gets a palisman woodcarving mentorship from the clawthornes dell will give him some advice#cuz he has a lot of experience with that himself as well and truly understands what hunter might be going through re: scar-related issues#anyways........ gah#hunter#toh hunter#hunter noceda#my toh talk#my sketches#my art#? kinda#nicole answers#Anonymous

I've figured it out, why I'm always a bit thrown about people defending Blitz this episode. Like don't get me wrong Stolas has not been perfect and has to grapple with his classism/etc. But like, in my head, I've always gone, 'but that isn't the point of this episode/fight/current conflict' but didn't really have the words to explain. But now I do.
Because, the whole point of apology tour (and everything that built to it) is that even if Stolas was a perfect boyfriend, even if they didn't have the complicated power dynamic and Stolas being really demeaning, etc, none of it matters because it would always have ended the same. Blitz would always set fire to the relationship the moment he confessed his love, it's what he did with Verosika after all. It's what he's implied to have done with more than half the people at the party.
Stolas could have been perfect, and nothing truly would have changed. Blitz right now is incapable of letting someone love him without lashing out. The whole prince thing is just a convenient excuse to yell and scream about, it's not actually the point. Like don't get me wrong, there's truth to it, but Blitz is weaponizing it to shove Stolas away. If he didn't have that, he would find something else to use against him.
I love Blitz, but he's a terrible person. His trauma only explains his actions but doesn't justify them. Apology Tour is the episode that finally shoved in his face his fuck-ups in all their glory, and gave him the wake-up call to finally do something about them.
#helluva boss#stolitz#helluva boss blitz#blitz#blitzo#blitzø#helluva boss spoilers#to add this is why in think complaints about not acknowledging stolas's issues in the relationship#in this episode dont really work#cause like while Stolas is in this episode a lot#its not actually about him#this is 1000% a blitz episode#of his grappling with the effect he has on others#theres time to deal with Stolas's problems later#and vitally i dont think they can have a productive comversation about stolas's mircoagressions#until blitz is in a headspacr were he can be rational about Stolas#like hes currently using it as a weapon to shove stolas away which doesnt help stolas actually understand what hes done wrong#tldr blitz needs to figure out his own shit before having a convo wirh stolas about his#oh god that was long ahhhh#(also this is all in good faith if u have different thoughts abour stolas u good this is just my opinion)

I’m gonna take Kipperlilly from some of yall 👀 you can like a villain without trying to clear their name. She objectively is a murderer and a villain this season. It does not make you a “””””bad Person””””” if you like her. You do not have to try and age her down or make her out to be innocent or gentle or sweet or misunderstood. You do not get to use her mental health to excuse her actions either.
At this point, a lot of these post are getting into slippery slope territory, especially concerning mental health. You can be mentally ill and still understand right from wrong. Infantilizing people struggling with their mental health can cause harm. There are mentally ill people that can/will/do go their entire lives without blaming and trying to harm others because of what they’re going through.
Like I feel like we’ve officially hit Joaquin Phoenix Joker levels of ‘we live in a society’ discourse. Yes, there are things that suck and living with mental health issues and having that make your life harder sucks. But then funneling that feeling of unfairness and frustration into harming other people is not okay or justifiable. It’s a clear sign that someone went untreated or their mental health was not taken seriously enough soon enough.
There are a lot of young and impressionable people in the d20 community (a community that is overwhelmingly very supportive and cognizant of mental health) that will see the KLCK discourse and take some of these things to heart. Please be mindful in what you post. She is a fictional character and in context of the story, instead of getting further help or seeking better treatment for her mental health, she chose to harm people. Some responsibility does fall on her in that regard. Not all, but some. There is a point where things get very concerning when you become a danger to yourself or others, Kipperlilly is in that place to be very clear. She needs help.
Yes she is underage, and I do think Jawbone has a heavy responsibility to either reach out to her parents to report her behavior and figure out a treatment plan for her immediately. This never happened, even when she admitted to wanting to kill Kristen. She continued on, untreated and without her rage issues not being fully addressed. Then she murdered someone.
Infantilizing Kipperlilly to absolve her of her wrongdoing isn’t the convo we should be having. Figuring out where she falls on the morality scale does nothing, she’s one of the villains of the season, by that metric, she’s not a great person (not because of her rage disorder, because of her actions.) There are complexities to her. The conversation we should be having is why not a single faculty member or adult that interacted with her and witnessed this behavior didn’t say “woah hey, let’s pump the breaks and get you assessed for a few things and get to the root of what’s going wrong.”
When you see someone struggling, reach out, assess the situation. If you’re an adult and are in a position to help, don’t hesitate to do so or notify a parent or guardian in their life so they get them help. If you’re underage and see a peer struggling, check in and if something sticks out to you as concerning, reach out to an adult that can help or find someone to help. Don’t enable violent or harmful behavior. /Please/ that person can end up hurting themselves or someone else.
#I- listen I will go on about mental health all fucking day#it is VERY important to me#I’m not a professional or a doctor#I’m only speaking from personal experience of having family and friends with mental health issues as well as dealing with my own since I#was 12 years old#I’m now 24 and I have been consistently in therapy the entire time thankfully#initially because my mom and sister saw what I was going through and got me help and then Into my teen years to present day I continued to#seek treatment#it is dangerous to enable behavior like Kipperlilly’s#it is deeply irresponsible as well#like no she’s not real but the kids in the fandom are#dimension 20#fantasy high junior year#d20 fhjy#fhjy

DEADLOCH
Vanessa, Sam O’Dwyer sexually assaulted you as a minor. He blackmailed you into a relationship. By the sounds of it, [Mayor] Rod Dixon knew about all that and did nothing to help you. Trent abused you, Gavin and Jimmy sexually harassed you…
#deadloch#deadlochedit#tvedit#thing i made#I loved this character#yes her homophobia was awful#but her ending with the she her shirt and saying thats my rainbow family and asking pronouns was so believable and nice#cause her bigotry clearly stemmed from her own issues with her heterosexuality and having to deal with straight men all her life#like it actually had nothing to do with lgbt ppl at all#and im so glad she changed and skye seemed to allow her into her life and gain a brother like how sweet

to me velvette doesnt lie about *being bisexual* for attention but she lies about being bisexual *for attention*. like admitting to being attracted to women would make her a dyke and manly and f/f relationships dont even count bc her internalized misogyny goes so crazy she subconsicounsly does not see women as full people and needs men to validate her own personhood, and since men hold most of the power, surrounding herself with men is in fact a means to power. so one way she feels she Can have sexual contact with women is through excuses: it's for attention, for convenience, as a power play. but never because of her own desires and it can never mean anything. can you imagine? two women in a loving relationship. who would want to see that?
#i need to work on my goddamn fic so i can SHOW YOU#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel velvette#hazbin velvette#vettie#and be aware im not black but itd make so much sense to me for there to be a racial component to it#since black women are often deemed 'less feminine' then their white conterparts since gender norms r so centered on whiteness#And bc she worked in the beauty/fashion industry which just worships european features#and also bc shes had to be ambitious and abrasive and other Not Feminine things to get somewhere in life#i think shed feel the need to defend her womanhood tooth and nail#n if youre wondering Yes she does view queer men as less manly. but vox and val check enough other boxes for it to not be an issue#(and its a whole different beast from dealing with her own sexuality bc its so connected with misogyny)#powerful. rich. want to fuck her real bad. val can serve as her dark romance dangerous boyfriend or bitchy gay bff depending on the day#and once in a while she will call vox a faggot#and well shes a fujoshi so you know. and different pipes so she can feel more Needed since neither of them have other gfs#ok im done now

I haaaaate when ppl treat ford being upset over his identity being taken and his house getting turned into essentially a mockery of his research was completely unreasonable
like, was stan doing his best with a terrible situation? absolutely! would ford kicking him out be an actually fair option? fuck no!
but he's been in this dimension for probably 12 hours. god knows the last time he's slept. he'd been nearly dead prior to going thru the portal and now has to deal with the fact that he's lost everything. he doesn't even have his own identity anymore.
I honestly don't even think half the shit ford says to stan is truly about stanley or ford's opinion of him, so much as it is about his own issues and how weighed down with guilt he is.
I think its worth noting that ford only ever says mean things about stan when he's pissed off- when he's not angry, he's much more willing to actually discuss things and try to find common ground (such as when he invites stan to play d,d&d).
it honestly comes off more as him not knowing how to communicate anger outside of hurting people than it does genuine malice towards stan. and also I don't think ford ever really internalized that stan was homeless in the duration of the show
#☢️.txt#ford pines#gravity falls#like again its an asshole move but the sentiment (im upset that you brought me back to the apocalypse i caused and i cant even have my name#isnt like. abnormal??#ford is really really bad at just fucking telling stan how hes feeling and instead chooses to be vague and then explode#and again its not stans fault! he didnt have a whole lot of choices! and what ford said WAS hurtful#also yeah i genuinely do not think ford has processed like anything stan has said about his past#like hes told about it while having a psychotic breakdown and again after nearly getting killed#and then getting dragged back into his own dimension and realizing that bill is almost certainly going to win#hes not processing 'i was homeless' all hes thinking is how he personally has doomed everyone in this room#he has the realization at 4 am months later and feels Fucking Terrible#90% sure the reason i read his actions this way is my autism tends to make me do this#and having a dad with anger issues teaches you to have worse anger issues so that hes fucking sick of dealing with you

New warden oc….repressed elf with some sort of anger issue due to her life just kind of sucking and not being able to do much physically for most of it. She’s definitely one of those “i dont need anything or anyone but myself” types of people. Prioritizes survival. Her name is also an ironic pun on Sylaise the god of health…😩
#tallosart#dragon age#dragon age origins#dao#warden#mahariel#warden mahariel#bioware#she definitely doesnt symbolize the anger that comes from being disabled and losing out on parts in life…#i say sarcastically#this is my way of dealing with my own disability issues in the meantime#but anyway#she and morrigan have an on again off again relationship but they trust each other and rely on each other#and when not so repressed? theyll love each other. hick girlfriends with mental problems#just wanted to pop in for a sec and post her 🫶 see ya until next time

i’m sooo curious on bill meeting dipper’s parents. i think i remember you mentioning at one point they kinda sucked and treated dip especially bad. i’m sure that’s caused a lot of his long term mental health/self esteem issues and i can’t help but think his husband wouldn’t be too thrilled about that. also they don’t even know he’s married so that’s a whole other thing lol
In the Familiar AU, Dipper's parents shipped him and Mabel off to Grunkle Stan back when they were twelve, actually!
This was initially excused as the twins 'needing to get used to having magic'. Which makes sense! Magical puberty is a heck of a thing, and getting some training's useful to cut down on random magic surges.
But by the end of the summer, they hadn't made any plans for picking the kids up. This when Stan twigged to the real situation.
And by the end of that year, Dipper knew his 'paranoid' assumption was absolutely correct.
So the twins grew up in Gravity Falls, with only very occasional visits back 'home'. Contact's been sporadic, and Mabel's been the one who's clung more to their parent's attention. Dipper hasn't spoken to them unless forced to in years.
So yeah! Bill's not exactly thrilled with the parents - but lucky for them, they haven't met him yet! And they definitely don't know about the marriage. Much less anything else.
#answers#In summary: The twins' parents found out their kids were magical and decided they Just Couldn't Deal with that#They're not magical themselves and giving your kids some Magic Training is a good idea#But at some point you need to actually *take them back*#Which they just. Didn't#Dipper abso-friggin-lutely has a whole mess of issues from that#Abandonment's a big one. Being worth something and good at something? Yep that's an issue right there#Not the least of which is that Mabel as a more Talented and Powerful magic user got more attention when they were still there#Then continued to get more attention via phone call when they weren't#Mabel's got some REALLY rose-colored glasses on about the situation#Dipper sees it for the 'well my kids are freaks but at least one of them is a Cool Freak' it is#That's a fact he's been stewing on for *ages*. A fact bomb that he could theoretically drop on his sister but never did#Needless to say he got the brunt of the Issues™ but Mabel's got her own in turn#I'm also betting there's more than a dash of homophobia in their parents considering their reaction just to Magic#So the parents aren't going to be very thrilled about either of their partners#In my head I picture the parents wanting a Totally Picturesque Family#And creating the visual of one is easier if you only have Pictures of the kids instead of them being there and being themselves#In summary: Yeah The Parents Suck#I started a fic for this once and I still intend to write one but that's a later type of project#I gotta have the right start for it to flow well

Just saying in case anyone needs it. I may dabble in selfshipping now. But I love seeing other Vaati selfshippers. I know some yumejoshi deal a lot with jealousy and it's fine to block me over it if that helps you.
Just know that regardless of what I do, there is nothing that stops you from loving Vaati and marrying him in your head. Comparison is the thief of joy. I hate the thought that I send some people into a panick attack with my selfshipping but I had to learn that I can't always soothe everyone.
I am not the enemy of anyone, I am not here to steal your purple man and I wholeheartedly support Vaati getting as much love as he can from as many people as possible.
My AU does not invalidate yours 🫶🏻 idk if that helps anyone but if it does my mission is accomplished.
#I held back for so many years bc I grew up in times where selfshipping was considered cringe#Now I am growing up to ditch cringe culture and be more accepting#I struggled more with it that I should have but now I am mostly free from that harsh judgement#Also no hate to non sharing yumejoshis#Personally I don't deal well with it when I see yumes not sharing him but that is fully my own issue not theirs#I learnt that some yumes get caught in a whirlwind of emotions when they see a double and it's nothing they can fight against with logic#But if you feel like that over Vaati please block me 🫠 for the sake of your own mental health

Is this fanfic friendly? I feel like an outlier.
I guess this is my sign it's time to throw together a FAQ post to link to lol.
Yes, every event for this blog is fanfic friendly :D
Though as I mentioned on my Ominous October post, for events that include multiple short stories, I encourage everyone to flex their creativity and take one of their planned short story fanfics, and at least *attempt* to turn one of them into something entirely original; rebuilding a character and story from the ground up to stand on its own two legs is no easy feat, and that is what makes it so fun!
It really gets your creative gears turning, to make an "au of an existing material" to be something entirely original, and you can be pleasantly surprised about the things you come up with!
As a few people say, its not just a matter of "filing the serial numbers off" -- you have to add in just as much *or more* as what you take out when you are turning a fanfiction into something that is original and completely divorced from its original source material / inspiration, and that is a hard, but very rewarding challenge!
Obviously, this is not a requirement (there's no hard requirements for any of the challenges, other than no cheating, including no using AI),
but if you would like an extra challenge for the short story events and you're planning on doing entirely fan-fiction, I highly recommend trying it out at least once, and seeing where it leads you--
you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you find down that rabbit hole!
#replies#novella november#long rambly tags to follow lol#including anti royalist / anti billionaire shit#ominous october#this is what my novella november is going to be#something that WAS a huge earth-shattering fanfic AU#but before I even got past a WIP Oneshot I'd already realized that what I was planning was going to turn canon so far on its head it would#be unrecognizable and it would be much better off and more coherent if I made it entirely original#so now it is!#not only does this involve changing every single characters name#everyone is now a completely different species other than human because thats always fun#and of course we're also tackling all the issues that had annoyed me in omega verse fics since I was like 14 and liked the#creature aspects but hated the biological essentialism and misogny / caste systems#if your fantasy people have an enforced caste system you gotta actually treat that like the horror and systemic oppression it is#not just say 'biological = right' like dude what do you think people have been saying about real women this whole time????#people literally insist women are biologically inferior to men do you really think supporting that idea is going to make you sound#progressive just because your main character is a tomboy independant woman?#also like she lost all her independence as soon as she found a man to marry so uhhhhh#what happened to being ready and willing to hit the bricks if people kept talking down to you and condescending you for being a woman????#why did you go from independant badass tomboy to fainting damsel who spends all her time worrying about failing to produce an heir#so her husband can take power#instead of just straight up telling your husband#'hey I don't want to deal with the bullshit from your father how about we do the-#- socially acceptable thing and just go off to make our own independant settlement with some of the villagers who are on your side'#like your husband would literally be escstatic about this idea of finally getting out from under his dad's tyrannical thumb#and its more like way more than half the villagers would go with you not just a handful#theyve been sick of the kings shit for years and only your husband's potential rise to rule kept them in check#cus he actually cares about the villagers and goes among them#while still clearly having some biases to work through when it comes to class and gender equality
