You think Basim ever got an identity crisis when he saw Eivor before he figured out she was Odin?

Like, here's the adopted sibling of the ruler of a tribe (who he is also convinced is Odin), who is accepted as one of them until she steps out of line (killing Dag), at which point they all turn on her. She constantly does the mucky jobs whilst her brother gets the credit, and when she tries to point out her own accomplishments she's shot down and ridiculed by her brother's other confidant, who's a great fighter but near incapable of coming up with any other strategy than 'hit the thing really hard' and dumb as a tree to boot.

Like, at some point Basim has to have gone '...am I certain I'm the Sage of Loki? Like, I'm not just the Sage of... Narfi or something like that?' And when he finally does figure out what's going on, he's like 'Okay, good, identity crisis over, let's not think about Havi being in the same position as I was, we are repressing the hell out of that.'

Thinking about new students coming to the school and being filled in that yes, magneto breaks in some evenings and spends the night with the professor and sometimes a whole weekend. We pretend we don’t notice

And then some kids staying through the summer, with nowhere else to go. Erik also staying a large portion of the time and the students get use to it and slowly get to know him outside of Magneto. They never mention it to the students who don’t spend the summer

pls share your ocd Bruce thoughts. as in your thoughts about Bruce having ocd. Pls and tanks

[big warning for intrusive thoughts, compulsions, paranoia. i do list specific ocd thoughts in this post. please be careful and don't read if those might affect you in any negative way.]

his compulsions mostly lie around keeping his family safe. he spends a while each night after patrol doing a perimeter check and ensuring all the security is online/working (one night he accidentally fell asleep in the cave and didn't wake up until morning - alfred woke up startled to see bruce checking his pulse because you fell asleep without checking and now he's dead he's dead and it's your fault).

he struggles a lot with intrusive thoughts; they're quite difficult to combat because he knows they aren't real but also a fair few of them are based on things that have happened to him in the past so he's more than aware that they're still possible (e.g. your son is dead somewhere, go find him; your friend has turned evil, check you have your defence against them and get ready to use it). he often just gets incredibly graphic images in his head, and he digs his nails into his skin until it goes away.

another thought he struggles a lot with is 'this person is an imposter. they are wearing someone else's face. this is not the person you know'. this is one that he definitively knows isn't true but also it's happened before so it can happen again. it makes him feel a little silly whenever this happens, because his way around it is to find somebody he does trust in that moment and stay near them whilst keeping a subtle eye on the 'imposter', and it makes him feel like a little kid hiding behind his mother's legs at a gala all over again.

there are some positives though!! he's not too sure why but these paranoid thoughts aren't often in regards to j'onn, so occasionally he'll request for j'onn to scan someone's mind to check if they are who they say they are, and j'onn does it with no questions asked. j'onn doesn't fully understand why bruce needs him to do this but he does recognise the spike in anxiety just before bruce asks and the relief bruce feels after, and so he does it because he knows it helps his friend, even if he doesn't know why.

(sometimes, when it's just him and the 'imposter' in the room, he just leaves. he doesn't explain. he doesn't say goodbye. he just leaves. he tells himself that it's to ensure his own safety. he ignores the way it feels like fleeing.)

he has a lot of little compulsions too, like rapping his knuckles against a specific part of the wall before using the zeta tube (if he doesn't, the transport will rip them apart). whenever somebody questions it, he says it's for luck. this leads to the team believing batman to be incredibly superstitious. the only people that know the truth are dick, jason, tim and alfred. eventually he does tell clark and diana, and he stops trying to hide it around the rest of the batfamily, but he does not like people knowing about it.

she just.. slowly turns to cosmo, sipping water pause the sipping "congrats, cosmo," her voice has cleared up a lot more, aaaand continuing to sip water while staring at a wall and most likely hallucinating -@thatonepoppyangstguy

[ 🍰 ] ~ Cosmo flinches, almost immediately sitting up but since he's basically being held down by Sprout, he's just.. laying there slightly shaking. Embarrassed, he was! " Wh-- POPPY-- " " Oh, um.. did you see and hear all of that?.. " [ 🍰 ] ~ He can't really.. Get up, so Cosmo's just holding the blanket with one hand and another wrapped around Sprout.

Idc how ooc it ends up being, I wanna make a Christmas special one-shot where LifeSteal members/parkciv characters/Whitepine characters/idk haven't decided which. maybe all of them make some hallacas and pan de jamón and other typical venezuelan Christmas cooking and probably fucking burn down the kitchen in the process--

What gets me about GW defenders saying that "Claude siding with Edelgard shows how far he's willing to go to get what he wants, he'll use anyone to further his goals" is that, even if that were accurate to his character... that's not what he does in GW. At all.

Which one of Claude's goals are ever progressed once he sides with Edelgard? And how does siding with Edelgard, specifically, accomplish said goal?

Maybe... killing Rhea? But all of the reasons he says he wants her gone in this game are either completely unproven or blatantly incorrect - there's no proof of the Church forcing arranged marriages, Crests do not force obligations onto those that have them (which Claude himself literally proves), and the Church is helping Dimitri restore Duscur - a foreign nation - meaning they are actively willing to help fulfill Claude's main goal that he came to the officer's academy to achieve.

And... that's it! That is the only possible thing that even POTENTIALLY helps Claude's dreams, and taking a five-second look at it shows that it actually does nothing at all to help anything. But in the meantime? Claude weakens Faerghus through agitating Sreng and invading it himself, forcing Dimitri to fight a three front war; he actively helps Edelgard get herself out of a messy situation, even though not helping her and letting her die would have actually helped him and would have actually been him using her like people keep saying he's trying to do; he and Holst even admit that by the end of the war Edelgard is going to make a vassal state of Leicester after taking the lion's share of Faerghus' territory for themselves, which Leicester can't do anything about because of Adrestia's far stronger military. He is the one saying that! He is the one pointing out that that is going to happen! And yet he just keeps going anyway!

He is the one getting used. Very blatantly, and very extensively. Claude walked himself into a trap and lied to himself into thinking he's the one with the upper hand, which somehow managed to convince a large portion of the fanbase too. There's no gray morality here, there's no cunning being showcased, Claude is just an evil stupid tool

wip wednesday to celebrate me writing thru my pain haze:

“I wanted to tell you what a good job you did out there today.” “Yeah?” Duke raises an eyebrow at him. “Don’t strain yourself, old man.” Bruce snort-laughs, a very undignified and Bruce-like gesture. Something “Brucie” and, heaven forbid, Batman, would never do in a million years. “There is no pride muscle, at least not in my studies.” Well… If Bruce was going to leave himself wide open like that, of course Duke was going to poke. “Of course not,” Duke teasingly rolls his eyes. “Did they even have gay people in the stone age?” “I suppose they did,” Bruce says, matching Duke’s tone. “If I was there.”
