So, uh, that chapter was pretty interesting, huh?

[necrotic-nephilim]

i recently remembered DickTim Week 2024 is happening very soon and i looked at the prompts again to see if i could get anything out for it and. the Hades & Persephone AU prompt for day 1 has got me really thinking so here's a vague concept i plan to write.

i've been pretty burnt out on modern Hades & Persephone retellings because of how they always seem to fall into the same generic "innocent wide-eyed girl runs from her evil mean mother into the arms of a dark mysterious man because actually she went willingly and chose to marry him" which has gotten repetitive for my tastes. (for clarity i don't care if this retelling is your cup of tea personally, so long as you're not actively trying to rewrite the original myth and claim untrue things about it, if this is your favorite flavor i sincerely hope you enjoy the buffet i just have little interest in it since it feels overdone for me and exhausted of it's supposed commentary atp)

but? but. biblically accurate Hades & Persephone AU has me all kinds of interested. because wait listen so hear me out right. Hades!Dick and Persephone!Tim, obviously. i feel it'd be more loosely inspired by with themes and imagery (though playing with death and nature powers could be interesting, i haven't decided) rather than explicitly making them gods and all. but. something dark and fucked up where Dick and Bruce are especially estranged. maybe to do with Jason's return, maybe to do with them just clashing and having their usual explosive arguments. and Bruce knows the peace needs to be kept, if he and Dick are at odds then everyone starts to pick sides and things just fracture so he needs a peace offering.

and the peace offering is Tim.

Bruce (the stand-in for Zeus) offers up Tim. agrees to have Tim move to Bludhaven and be Dick's... whatever Dick wants him to be. knowing that with the implication comes the likelihood of Dick grooming Tim. and Tim has no real say and is hesitant to put up a real fight. he doesn't want this, he knows what this is going to imply Dick will do to him, but he also knows if he says no things have the possibility to just... fall apart. so he's the unwilling bride, dragged off to the metaphorical underworld (Bludhaven) with Dick, away from his family, his friends, the life he built.

and on the flip side, i think weirdly enough, your best pick for the Demeter stand-in is *Jason*. just, hear me out on that. not necessarily on the side of it being motherly, but on Jason being just estranged enough from the Batfamily to be the one willing to call it out for being bad and wrong and raising bloody hell to get Tim back. maybe it's because Jason wants Tim for himself, maybe it's truly out of a concern for Tim to have autonomy, i'm toying with the idea of it primarily being Tim's POV and him genuinely not knowing which of these is true. (and the truth possibly ends up being a complicated middle ground) and because i like Helena, i think you can use her as the Hekate stand in, the one who strikes a tentative alliance with Jason and tries to go find Tim and bring him back. Tim stuck with Dick, getting groomed and hyperaware of it, possibly even getting fucked the whole time as well, knowing he can't go back without causing massive issues for Dick and Bruce because well, Bruce did promise him to Dick. so he has to adjust his whole life, try to figure out being a vigilante in this new city with Dick breathing down his neck the whole time.

and then much like the ending of the myth, a sort of compromise is struck that's a shaky deal for everyone involved. Tim is put on an essential timeshare, going back and forth between Gotham, where he has friends and family and a support system, then getting dragged right back to Bludhaven with Dick in this brutal cycle that he slowly gets used to and stockholm'd into even liking it. Dick isn't so bad, once he gets used to the quirks of their unbalanced 'relationship'. the sex is even something he can adjust to as well. not quite a happy ending but one that sits in this realistic grey area that becomes Tim's life.

i will write this, eventually, but i don't know if i'll get to it before DickTim Week ends so by posting the idea i'm essentially putting it out into the world so the peer pressure holds me accountable. i just. really like the potential of making Hades/Persephone AUs as fucked up as they can be simply by adhering to the source material and making it a raw story of being stolen away and forced to like this new home you didn't ask for.

also a less fleshed-out aspect of this idea i have ties into Persephone becoming the Queen of the Underworld when she's taken and how the transition from Kore to Persephone could be reflected in Tim. how he makes the best of the worst situation and becomes something far more dangerous and dark when he's in Bludhaven, possibly takes on a new vigilante name/identity and leans into the worst quirks of his personality he tries to tamper because there's no point in not going full tilt Obsessively Weird if he has no choice anyway and it being one small way he takes back his autonomy, and that inevitably making Dick *more* into him, because he gets to see Tim finally just. let loose.

If you could change one thing (like annyyything) about Kit’s character, what would it be?

For me, I feel like I would have changed up his appearance. There is absolutely nothing wrong with blonde hair or blue eyes, and Kit always looks fantastic ! But honestly I think it would have been cool if the first heir line of Herondales looks absolutely nothing like the main line. Idk like, I feel like it would have been so fun.

oh gosh that's like asking me to tell u something i dislike about kit and there is nothing. nothing!!!!

and personally, i adore him having blonde hair and blue eyes! i just know that he is so so so (x898417093849) beautiful and when it comes to that i have absolutely zero complaints. in fact, i'm obsessed with the fact that he's blonde (like ha! suck it u blondie haters! our main character is blonde! what are you (🫵🏼) gonna do about it! sucker!). but i understand that u feel like a drift from the first heir line appearance would've been cool! but idk, for me it feels kinda cool that after all these generations, the line stayed looking pretty similar. blondes ROCK!

+ we have already had will and james as the main boyyos for the black-haired herondales era, and i think it's time to pass the baton and give the blondes a chance again (after jace)!

but coming back to the main topic (apologies🫶🏻) since u asked, there are some things in kit's arc that i do wish were done slightly differently and the main thing i can think of is how quickly he adjusted to jessa as his parent figures! like don't get me wrong, i love jessa and i think they are so so good for him, especially after everything he went through. but, i do think he accepted them a bit faster than i think he actually would've? like his whole life he spent with johnny and as a hardcore rook, and then it just feels like he completely forgets about that in a matter of chapters! like he is traumatised after his father's death and we never really see that either (like he was THERE when johnny was killed???? hello????). and i really hope that this part of his story is addressed in twp, bc it's kinda driving me crazy. <3

also idk what’s canon yet bc the series ain’t out but i’m gonna say it -> i want kit to continue being shorter than ty. thank u for coming to my ted talk.

guys i have been watching the new kdrama with kim jae young in it and am going absolutely cuckoo bananas over it

[kirkwallguy]

I'm upset about the lack of choices and the likelihood that the solas romance is going to be pushed more but bringing up the new characters as something that could have been replaced by old ones is a pretty bad faith arguement imo. It's a new game, of course there's going to be new characters? The cameos were never the forefront or the cornerstone of my enjoyment. I mean if you hate the game and only play it in the hopes of getting scraps of your favorite characters from the previous games then ok but why torture yourself like this lol

i mean as long as they don't repeat the mistakes of inquisition and expect us to have read extra material to understand what's going on, i don't care about the new characters THAT much, i just think it's funny to act like they're actual cameos when most people don't know who they are. a charitable read would be that they're rewarding hardcore fans but likeeeee... they're trying to sell books lol

tbh cameos wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me normally, i can take them or leave them in da2 and obviously there are none in origins. but combined with everything else we know about the game i AM still on the fence about getting it... no worldstates means it's unlikely they'll bring up any of the plots i was interested in having resolved or explored further 😑 so it all comes down to the quality of the writing and plots they introduce, which is very hard to judge from the promo esp since apparently everything they're showing is from act 1

i really want people to realize that i don’t hate lip or fiona because i think people may be starting to think that. lip’s my third favorite gallagher, i don’t like his actions and i personally believe he’s a misogynist but he is also one of the best written characters on the show

[pumpkinpie59]

this might be a hot take but girl characters (especially from like,, the 80s and such) who were added to be a love interest to a guy character can be interesting and their relationship with said guy character can be interesting too

yes it’s upsetting if they’re not given the proper time and attention to reach their potential but that doesn’t mean they have no potential

characters like transformers g1’s elita-1, tmnt 1987’s lotus blossom and kala, and so on and so forth are such great characters and their respective romantic relationships are cute and i will stand on this hill

someone's been liking a lot of my old posts relating to my attempts to rewrite fairy tail.... which, and this may astound you, is not actually a cancelled project in spite of the fact that it's been nearly a decade since i first started trying to figure it out

[crow-caller]

as someone who only recently found out what arfid is and realized i have it (and also hates meat because of it) hearing you talk about it in your tender is the flesh video meant a lot to me <3

nice!!! ARFID isn't very well known really. I got diagnosed with it a few years ago after many, many years of being bullied for being a 'picky eater' despite being physically unable to even eat other food. I'm always keen to talk about it because the relief of understanding ARFID vs picky eating is immense. like everything I want to do like an educational video on it or something one day just to raise awarenesss... there IS like one YA book about arfid, but it's bad and also will be mostly about ED so not like, the freshest hip book to cover on youtube
