#i just couldn't get into it

I haven't liked Too Sweet by Hozier since it came out.

I want another song for all the Harvey memes 😭

Even though I'm in favor of writing whatever tf you want as long as you're aware it's fictional, I still can't bring myself to read recently-posted High School AU's about kpop idols who are older than 20 irl. Mostly bc even if the author aged them down, my brain still pictures them at their current age, going to school like that "How do you do, fellow kids!" meme. Yesterday I found one of those starring Super Junior and I just couldn't take it seriously, I'm sorry.

#'canonically straight' they canonically spending half the series trying to avoid and break off bertie's accidental marriage engagements 

(tags via @biggest-gaudiest-patronuses​)

Exactly. Frankly, I’m flabbergasted that anyone who has the slightest knowledge of the Jeeves and Wooster books could claim that these two characters are “canonically straight”. As the tags above say, most of the plots are about Bertie desperately trying to get out of his accidental engagements to women, and Jeeves helping him do so. Bertie’s attitude towards any woman who is/could be a potential partner for him is unmitigated horror, even while he acknowledges that objectively speaking, they’re quite attractive (e.g., Florence Craye). IIRC, the only woman he ever expresses the slightest attraction to is Bobbie Wickham, and that feeling evaporates pretty quickly when he learns she was behind a practical joke played on him.

On the other hand, when it comes to women whom there's no danger he'll wind up getting engaged to (except in the minds of their jealous boyfriends/fiances), such as Stiffy Byng or Pauline Stoker, Bertie is thoroughly friendly, in the “gay best friend” mode. For example, when he finds Pauline unexpectedly in his bed at night, his first thought is about how much the colour of her pyjamas suits her!

None of this exactly screams “straight man”. My headcanon is that Bertie is some combination of ace and gay. Though not aro - he likes the idea of falling in love just fine; he just doesn’t want to get married (which in his time, would inevitably have to be with a woman, with the expectation of sex).

Jeeves could, I suppose, be mistaken for straight, considering that from what little we know about his love life, he does date women. However, considering his affection for Bertie and how much he enables Bertie to get out of his engagements, it’s possible to see him more as bi/pan. 

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice

DC x DP Prompt: Bruce is bad at emoting but at least ghosts are empathic (too bad bat kids are not)

Was reading Twincognito on AO3 when I stumbled across this gem again:

~

" “Danny, Tim. I was just…checking in. Is everything alright?” Curse his inability to make meaningful conversation when it wasn’t a life or death situation.

They glanced at each other and shrugged.

Then Danny hauled himself out of the bed and walked over to Bruce.

Bruce tried not to let too much excitement show on his face. "

~

Now I really want to read a story where Bruce adopts Danny post Meta trafficking and is being his usual emotionally constipated self. His kids keep getting mad at him because he's treating their new meta brother who was trafficked poorly (generally being stilted in conversation with him, walking away hurriedly mid-conversation, avoiding Danny when he's feeling really awkward, etc). They think Bruce is discriminating against Danny for being a civilian, meta, dealer's pick, but really it's just Bruce being horribly socially awkward. Danny knows this because of ghost empathy and find the whole thing hilarious. The whole thing comes to a head with the Bat Kids staging an intervention in the Bat Cave.

DPxDC Prompt

Sam and Danny were messing around with some occult books she had gotten and to both their surprise Danny got the spell to work.

Turns out being saturated with ectoplasm during the portal incident lets danny tap into the mana that's all around, and he can do magic.

As an adult he moves out and becomes a traveling mage, mostly doing seances for people and letting them believe he is a scam or not. Usually he can actually get contact with the dead, death magic is his natural affinity after all, but skeptics will be skeptics ya know.

One day he had his whole spiel set up in Gotham, the people here lose loved ones all the time and would gladly pay him to hear their dear nana once again, or get their mothers secret recipe, or say one final goodbye to their spouse.

What danny didn't expect was a certain mr wayne showing up asking about his parents.

What he double didn't expect was one of his other customers of the day being John Constantine

What he triple didn't expect is The Batman inviting him to be a consult and detective for murder cases with his seances

Tldr; danny figures out he can do magic after the portal incident. Becomes a real mage who pretends to do fake seances, and is now hired as murder case consult by the batman, while hiding that he's a real magician, and also hiding he is dead himself

been replaying the Portal series I think this is where its heading

y'know every time i feel guilty about bothering someone by singing along when i'm listening to music, i just remember that i have to tolerate my dirtbag brother screaming at his ps5 for hours every day so listening to muffled off-key fall out boy is probably preferable

I'm diagnosed with Cater Diamond in the brain and there's no cure for it

[izacore]

You remember Jane Austen? Yeah. I'm not gonna forget her in a hurry, am I? The brains behind the 1810 Clerkenwell Diamond Robbery. Brandy smuggler. Master spy. What a piece of work. She wrote books. Novels. Jane? Austen? Yes! Whoa, bit of a dark horse. Novels, eh? Yes. They were very good. Good Omens (2019-) || Pride and Prejudice (2005)

makes me a little sad when star trek ignores IDIC. like. vulcans are logical. that is true. But 'logical', for vulcans, does not amount to 'without compassion,' and it definitely doesn't amount to 'racial superiority.' Belief in 'infinite diversity in infinite combinations' should NOT result in the weird racist/speciest stuff we're getting in some of the newer treks. It does make sense that some vulcans are discriminatory. They're still flawed. But that should not be common or expected, like it seems to be in SNW. If it is, then it's a race of hypocrites, which. doesn't seem very true to Star Trek's message.

I think TOS Spock does a pretty good job of embodying this. Not always, it was the 60s, after all, but mostly. He was often trying to find non-violent routes, and get by without killing - even if they were in danger or had already been attacked. (See: the mugato, and the horta (until Kirk was the one in danger, lmao. t'hy'la > IDIC), the Gorn ship). Kirk, in his eulogy, calls him the most human soul he's ever known, and I've always read that as Kirk calling out Spock's overwhelming compassion.

It's just so much more interesting when Vulcans get to be radically compassionate. I want them to believe that everything and everyone has value. I want them to respect all ways of being. I want them to find ways for even very non-humanoid aliens to exist unfettered in society. I want them to see hybrids and think that it's amazing. Also, like, disability rep. I want Vulcans to have The Most Accessible Planet and available resources because they want everyone to feel accepted and valued. It makes for better characters and more interesting stories.

maybe if jason's or just everyone's pov in heroes of olympus was written in the first person's, they would've been liked way more? i swear I feel like if jason's pov was written that way, it would've been way more hilarious, and would've made his dry offhand remarks alot more funny? (like say, percy's 'i said hello to the poodle' it's sort of the dry kind of thing jason says in his chapters all the time, but they're not considered funny because it's told through third person limited) and even leo's humor would've been tripled. it was, in my opinion, a wasted opportunity truly.
