i think sometimes 'jane austen girly' jason todd would try and screw with damian after getting particularly agitated by his never-ending formality, and just start matching it in every conversation.

he turns into a walking shakespeare play until damian himself gets annoyed at the way he's being spoken to and tones it down.

I will never not be devastated at the fact that Edwin, this (forever-)16-year-old who doesn't know how to fight like Charles, or use a weapon, or anything like that, can run so much faster than Charles, or anybody in the show for that matter. Because he's had to. He's had to for 70 years. And he's still waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Crystal (in her 'past life') learnt to insult people because (it seems like) that was the only way people would listen to her (aka her parents).

Charles learnt to immediately go on the offensive (to protect others, not himself) because he can't let anyone else be hurt the way he was hurt by the person who was supposed to care for him.

Niko learnt to forgive people and take the kindest route because that was how her dad taught her to be, how he'd want her to be.

Jenny learnt to close herself off from people because she's been too open in the past, and she can't afford to be vulnerable again.

And Edwin learnt to run, because there was no point in fighting back, because the only way he wasn't going to have to watch his own corpse be horrifically murdered again and again was if he ran.

The final scene of the show is the first time he's stopped in one hundred and eight years.

8x06 time loop au where tommy keeps reliving the day of the break up — tries breaking up with buck, tries not breaking up with buck and delaying the inevitable for another day, tries never having the conversation in the first place, tries distracting buck with sex, tries fucking off from los angeles, tries ghosting buck, tries picking up a shift and dying in a helicopter crash for fun, tries anything and everything until eventually it turns out that the only way to get out of the time loop is to let buck see the real him and dig up every terrifying word of vulnerability hidden inside him 🫡🌚

jordan playing it off bc they think marie only hooked up with them bc their minds got messed with so they’re acting indifferent towards the situation even tho they obviously like her and she likes them back but now she thinks they don’t like her like that because-

Bitzel perfectly summing it up

Like seriously, if you still follow him after everything, what is it gonna take?

[valtsv]

the urge to change my url to valsiltverses so i can memorialise her vs. my conviction that living dead girl (which my url is a reference to) IS literally about VAL so why should i change it

"I was gonna say you're like a son to me.. but you're more than that."

"It ain't that complicated!"

How quickly that shoulder pat of comfort turned into a condescending one.

number #1 tactic that people use to not sound as racist as they are when they talk to black people: 'uhh so you AMERICANS need to stop pretending everything is about YOU. why should i know this im not from the us :/' (= is talking about like. a phenomenally internationally well-known black artist)

What if the reason Agatha’s magic siphons other peoples magic and life when they attack her is because as a child Evanora would use her magic to harm Agatha as a way of punishment? So now whenever someone else attacks Agatha/uses magic one Agatha hers automatically assumes they’re trying to kill Agatha and reacts in defence?

Friends with Benefits Nikprice, but it was never clearly negotiated and they just kinda fell into it over the years. Nik is desperately, achingly in love and John being John is just as passionate and fiery in the sack as he is in the field, and their friendship often blurs the line all over the show.

It's Nik PoV, so we can't see John's fear around intimacy - genuine intimacy where he has to open his heart, not simply use his arse and mouth well - and how he thinks that letting Nik in will only end in disaster and loss. Everyone leaves John Price, after all. He's doomed by the narrative.

People who say Robin was "cool" in s3 and that they changed her character completely have no idea what they're talking about, okay, s3 Robin straight up ASKED to be included in Steve and Dustin's little spy game. If she really had a dgaf attitude, they'd have had to wear her down to help translate the code cos of her language skills. No, girlie walked in there with purpose, she had a whole list of qualifications ready, she wanted IN on that activity, as much as she acted like she was above it. Robin Buckley was just an expert at masking you have to believe me she was always neurodivergent coded.
