ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS: 2x05 - “Blisters and Bedrock”

[calwasfound]

come on carolina have fun carolina

DC x DP

Jason never made it to the Lazarus pit or the league of assassins.

Bruce gave him that excuse for his green eyes and short temper.

Jason knows he didn’t crawl out of his grave with the giant Y that scars his chest.

Jason knows he’s a revenant.

Jason knows he needs to kill to stay sane. To stay whole.

A soul sucker they called him.

Jason agreed not to kill, because he misses his family. No matter how much he starves himself, it’s worth it to get Dick’s hugs, experience Tim’s genius, see Cassandra’s award winning performance, to help Damian experience a childhood.

Jason didn’t realize Bruce doesn’t know what he is. Jason didn’t realize Bruce meant Black Gate when he said he’d take him in the next time he killed. Jason didn’t realize Bruce had no idea about the anti ecto acts.

Jason swore to stay in line, so he’d never end up on that metal table again.

really love how pitts and meeks are the nerds and, (in some parts of the fandom) seen as goody-two-shoes only slightly less proper than cameron but if we're taking the deleted scenes as canon they get demerits on the first day of school and don't even seem to care? like idk i feel like in some fanfics meeks specifically is shown as a type of person who plays by the rules and cares and about grades and his permanent record and shit but like first time he actually talks in the movie (again, in the deleted scene) he just seems so unbothered by the fact that his school record's getting fucked b4 the school year's even properly started

You know I'm realizing one reason you keep seeing mdzs modern AUs where the Jiang parents are alive mainly so they can dramatically fail and betray Wei Wuxian by cutting him off financially--defaulting on his college tuition or formally disowning him etc--isn't just that people want to translate the Burial Mounds II arc into modern terms while keeping Jiang Cheng clean of it.

(Despite the fact that the internal logic of Jiang Cheng's character is largely built around him being a person who would abandon someone he intensely cared about under these specific circumstances.)

It's because it's hard to set up a modern analogue for the way that Jiang Cheng is responsible for Wei Wuxian, as his Sect Leader.

We live in a highly individualistic society. People are trying to write Wei Wuxian Tragically Wronged, and because there's a normative expectation that people in the position of parents will provide you with resources, and certainly won't withdraw them without warning, but no such assumption that people in the position of siblings necessarily owe each other support, making this work in modern setting with Jiang Cheng in his canon role would require a lot of extra work, just to get a less readily resonant result.

But I keep thinking about it. Because something that's getting lost here is, not just the nuances of character and relationship, but like...it's sort of key to the story that cutting Wei Wuxian off was, in fact, Completely Socially Appropriate.

The level on which it was a betrayal is subtle, and deeply cutting. And intensely tied up in the very different opinions each of Jiang Cheng's parents had about what obligations existed in their family wrt Wei Wuxian, and what these meant.

The level on which it was the obvious, normal course of action is blatant. That is to a huge extent why it happens: because Jiang Cheng's instinct to conform is a survival instinct, reinforced by trauma, and Wei Wuxian's choices meant he had no coherently compelling reason not to obey it, and enormous peer pressure to do so.

The fact is that Jiang Cheng was making a reasonable choice, the actual thing 'anyone would do in that situation,' unlike Wei Wuxian and Jin Guangyao's respective wildly warped ideas about what that is.

Wei Wuxian wasn't betrayed by Jiang Sect like your foster parents cutting you off because you're disobedient. Wei Wuxian was betrayed by Jiang Sect like your brother refusing to drop fifty grand to bail you out of jail.

Of course Wei Wuxian tells him not to. And of course the fact that Jiang Cheng already chose in the moment not to pay a cent because Fuck You Wei Ying still stands there glaring, a precedent that can never be taken back.

And then later he's betrayed by Jiang Cheng like your brother cooperating with a police investigation into a manslaughter you really did commit, that's being handled like domestic terrorism. And then like your brother calling the cops on you. And then like your brother helping the cops find where you're hiding.

I'm personally fascinated by the way Jiang Cheng's lifelong resentment for the way Jiang Fengmian reliably bailed Wei Wuxian out of everything informed those decisions to do the normal thing, the way he's reacting against his dead father as well as against Wei Wuxian and the actual situation.

But even without that daddy issues angle, the fact that the person who made that choice was Jiang Cheng, and that it was simultaneously the reasonable appropriate normal upstanding citizen rational thing to do and so shitty Wei Wuxian would be entitled never to forgive it is sort of. The Point.

Of the scenario, and also to a considerable degree of the entire finely tuned narrative construct that is Jiang Cheng.

You watch shaun of the dead thinking its a silly zombie apocolypse comedy. But watch out.

Was just on TikTok shop and saw this and I’m literally so in shock. I know this isn’t a new phenomenon but for them to have a whole TikTok shop for this and to be selling them at such a high price and for people to have actually bought them?? This is why people take their fics down, this shit is literally illegal and on top of that it’s just wrong. Here is your reminder that fanfics are FREE and if you want a bound copy so badly, learn how to bind yourself

Ideas for my Gallavich "season 12" spin-off.

Pov is shifted from the whole family to just those two, ideally this season should be able to be seen by people that haven't watched Shameless.

The first episode is inspired by the world's got nothing on us by biblionerd07 (go read it! It's funny af and then actually made me tear up!), it introduces Gallavich by not tackling directly any of their issues but hinting at them.

Every additional episode addresses something in the present that resurfaces from their past, by using old clips from Shameless as their flashbacks (ideally we could also get some scrapped scenes that never made it in the original)

Examples:

Ian tackles his grooming

Mickey deals with Yevgeny and Svetlana

They both deal with 3x6 and what it actually meant

Ian has to confront the fact that he left a lot and hurt Mickey doing so

Meeting the exes episode 😋

An episode about the Milkoviches (bring back Mandy, Iggy and Colin! And Sandy!)

An episode about the Gallaghers (bring back Fiona!)

Talking about their parents

Mickey talks about being in prison and in Mexico

Ian tries to go back to being an EMT

Mickey manages to put together an honest business (Mickey with a head for business and being his own boss)

Keep in mind this is not Hall of Shame style, I'd like to think that showing actual flashbacks could be kept to a minimum.

sometimes i think that gortash and durge were disgustingly domestic with one another, just sending stupid narcissistic praise back and forth and sitting in the same room just doing their own thing and bringing each other small gifts like flowers and the corpses of those guys that were super annoying that one time and-
