#it’s not toxic if it’s symbiotic!

[deathnguts]

Trying to fix the stigma around Bartylus being a ‘one sided’ or ‘toxic’ ship through writing is choosing if you’re going to write Barty to be more wholesome and domestic or write Regulus to be crazier and doomed by his own narrative, which he’s suffocatingly aware and lethargically accepting of and Barty is drowning in the fact that he can’t save him but at least they’re drowning together (until they’re not)

Having fem! Thomas Wayne thoughts and how deeply it’d inflict the narrative if Bruce lost not one mother, but two. But one of them simply refuses to lose him.

Do you know how unhinged I am about the possibility of her quite literally inhabiting Gotham City the moment she dies? Why everyone keeps referring to Gotham as ‘she’ ?

She tries everything to kill that graveyard of a city from the inside and Bruce brings it to life over and over and over again.

I think she’s not even a physical, tangible embodiment of anything; I think that, every single time Batman fights someone, they get ill with this horrible, sick feeling of fright freezing in their veins.

She’s fear incarnate.

And God, do I need the Batkids to be there for it.

Damian, who’s protected by Jason’s and Dick’s bigger, older bodies, — but they’re shaking and he can feel it, — watches shadows angrily crawl in the shape of her.

She’s so much different than the paintings.

Her hair is dark and long and her eyes are angry, white panels. Those are Baba’s eyes. “No loyalty, no loyalty,—“

He’s never seen Stephanie flinch before, but he does now, and it’s terrible, when she grips her stomach and falls with a whimper on her knees, —

“NONE!”

Cass tastes something salty drip down her lip. She’s crying, she realizes. But she can’t look away. Waynes are magnetic that way.

“NOT EVEN FROM YOU!”

Alfred doesn’t look afraid; He looks at his grandmother like men look at danger. Like they’d do anything to hold it.

“WHERE,” Not even when the shadows get closer , snapping and snarling and looking like they’d devour him whole.

“IS HE?!”

—

Bruce, from the other side of a city, feels his children are afraid, and he runs.

[marc--chilton]

(mgv) thinking once again about wilson being kind of creeped out when house comes back from mayfield and he's like. more decent. making food, doing housework, even if he's going about it in a houseian way, it's still very out of character. it's nice but mostly just disturbs wilson because the shift in personality of a character as. notable. as house is ends up just makes him worry he was sent to the one hospital that still does lobotomies

then it turns out house is just going into heat after having been administered suppressors during his stay at mayfield (and there was some stuff he did take to heart in there but shhh) and his hindbrain defaulted to a more "traditional" approach to try to appeal to wilson as if to show off his potential as a Good Mate

Warnings: brutal Villain, blood & gore, death, suicide. You get the idea.

When Hero's body hit the ground with a loud thud, Villain did not realise what they had done. They could not comprehend the consequences of their deed when the last exhale passed Hero's pale lips, could not grasp the severity of their situation, and the extent of damage they inflicted not only on the city - themselves as well.

Hero was right. They kept saying that they needed each other. To counter the other, to maintain the balance. To hold each other back. But Villain did not listen.

With Hero gone, nothing could stop Villain from descending into the depths of madness. Not that they realised it at the time. The adrenaline from the battle and the excitement of their victory painted the world a triumphant red. An epitome of jubilation.

They failed to count how many they slaughtered in the coming weeks. At first, torture was meant to serve as punishment for those who had the audacity to speak against their rule.

Villain never knew when to stop. They got carried away. After the first two cases ended up dead at their hands, none dared to speak to them. Villain despised their stares, the way their eyes were cast downwards all the time, how they never smiled the way they did for Hero.

A reason wasn't hard to find when they were determined to kill someone. To feel the sensation of warm blood running down their arms as they slashed into someone's flesh. To feel the same rush, the same tremor of exhilaration they did when Hero's corpse hit the ground. No matter what they did. No matter the amount of blood spilt to flood the streets. It didn't feel the same. It didn't soothe the ache.

And oh, did they ache. Their entire body craved battle. Villain wanted to feel cornered again, panic seeping in as they struggled to find a way out, to escape only to be chased again. They wanted the bruises, broken ribs and deep wounds, the feeling of their muscles straining beyond their limits, their bones breaking under Hero's fists. They wanted air knocked out of their lungs, to be chained, crumpled, torn apart in more ways than one.

They yearned pain. They needed thrill. Anything but the numbness weighing down their limbs. Anything but the nothingness that was around them, all-consuming. They wanted to feel alive in a way that was no longer possible.

Hero was right. Their life was empty without Hero. They were empty without Hero. They let out a dark chuckle, realising it was Hero who won. In the end, their victory was only an illusion. Hero left them behind to drink their own poison that would never quench their thirst.

Villain's mind is sound when the acid hits their tongue, bubbling as it burns a whole through their throat. They are painfully aware of the last exhale that leaves their lungs, never to reach their lips as they collapse to the ground. Their senses are overwhelmed, leaving them in a state of acute delirium.

They feel their stomach contract, their body shaking in agonising seisures. They feel their chest burning through when they try to swallow.

They feel alive.

Me trying to be hype for Harry having a big role in Spider-Man PS4 sequel even though I'm 97% sure the game will have zero investment in reflecting the themes and intricacies of his character just like almost every adaptation that came before it, despite having accidentally created the perfect set up to do so

Maybe I shouldn’t draw so late at night cause the late night screen to ease my eyes is also fucking with my perception of color.

[edgepunk]

the V*nom movies are a guilty pleasure of mine but I loathe that it popularized the symbiote being just "EAT PEOPLE'S BRAINS RAHHHHH" instead of. y'know,,, more often than not being a metaphor for toxic relationships and an alien learning from their host how to behave like a person, but instead it amplifies their negative traits, thinking they're helping their host

[sunscall]

i know it was just a haha funnies but mac saying "we don't want safe, charlie, we want toxic" about the glue really mirrors his relationships. he doesn't want safe (ignoring his uncle who represents the father figure he always wished for, also dismissing charlie who was there for him since childhood), he wants toxic (a mother who couldn't care less abt him, a dad who hates him except for his use, his codependent relationship with dennis which is mutually toxic but even more on dennis' side in the latter seasons). it's like he's programmed to reject love when it's just warmth.

[unexpectedmagiccat]

You call it a toxic relationship? Nah, get your concepts right. It's a symbiotic relationship.

7 Ways To Improve Your Relationship

Good relationships don’t just happen. I’ve heard many of my clients state that, “If I have to work at it, then it’s not the right relationship.” This is not a true statement, any more than it’s true that you don’t have to work at good physical health through exercise, eating well, and stress reduction.

how to connect with your man even when he seems most distant

I’ve discovered, in the 35 years that I’ve been counseling couples, 7 choices you can make that will not only improve your relationship, but can turn a failing relationship into a successful one.

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF

how to connect with your man even when he seems most distant

This is the most important choice you can make to improve your relationship. This means that you learn how to take responsibility for your own feelings and needs. This means that instead of trying to get your partner to make you feel happy and secure, you learn how to do this for yourself through your own thoughts and actions. This means learning to treat yourself with kindness, caring, compassion, and acceptance instead of self-judgment. Self-judgment will always make you feel unhappy and insecure, no matter how wonderfully your partner is treating you.

For example, instead of getting angry at your partner for your feelings of abandonment when he or she is late, preoccupied and not listening to you, not turned on sexually, and so on, you would explore your own feelings of abandonment and discover how you might be abandoning yourself.

When you learn how to take full, 100% responsibility for yourself, then you stop blaming your partner for your upsets. Since blaming one’s partner for one’s own unhappiness is the number one cause of relationship problems, learning how to take loving care of yourself is vital to a good relationship.

KINDNESS, COMPASSION, ACCEPTANCE

Treat others the way you want to be treated. This is the essence of a truly spiritual life. We all yearn to be treated lovingly – with kindness, compassion, understanding, and acceptance. We need to treat ourselves this way, and we need to treat our partner and others this way. Relationships flourish when both people treat each other with kindness. While there are no guarantees, often treating another with kindness brings kindness in return. If your partner is consistently angry, judgmental, uncaring and unkind, then you need to focus on

what would be loving to yourself rather than reverting to anger, blame, judgment, withdrawal, resistance, or compliance. Kindness to others does not mean sacrificing yourself. Always remember that taking responsibility for yourself rather than blaming others is the most important thing you can do. If you are consistently kind to yourself and your partner, and your partner is consistently angry, blaming, withdrawn and unavailable, then you either have to accept a distant relationship, or you need to leave the relationship. You cannot make your partner change – you can only change yourself.

LEARNING INSTEAD OF CONTROLLING

When conflict occurs, you always have two choices regarding how to handle the conflict: you can open to learning about yourself and your partner and discover the deeper issues of the conflict, or you can try to win, or at least not lose, through some form of controlling behavior. We’ve all learning many overt and subtle ways of trying to control others into behaving the way we want: anger, blame, judgment, niceness, compliance, caretaking, resistance, withdrawal of love, explaining, teaching, defending, lying, denying, and so on. All the ways we try to control create even more conflict. Remembering to learn instead of control is a vital part of improving your relationship.

For example, most people have two major fears that become activated in relationships: the fear of abandonment – of losing the other - and the fear of engulfment – of losing oneself. When these fears get activated, most people immediately protect themselves against these fears with their controlling behavior. But if you chose to learn about your fears instead of attempt to control your partner, your fear would eventually heal. This is how we grow emotionally and spiritually – by learning instead of controlling.

CREATE DATE TIMES

When people first fall in love, they make time for each other. Then, especially after getting married, they get busy. Relationships need time to thrive. It is vitally important to set aside specific times to be together – to talk, play, make love. Intimacy cannot be maintained without time together.

GRATITUDE INSTEAD OF COMPLAINTS

Positive energy flows between two people when there is an “attitude of gratitude.” Constant complaints creates a heavy, negative energy, which is not fun to be around. Practice being grateful for what you have rather than focusing on what you don’t have. Complaints create stress, while gratitude creates inner peace, so gratitude creates not only emotional and relationship health, but physical health as well.

FUN AND PLAY

We all know that “work without play makes Jack a dull boy.” Work without play makes for dull relationships as well. Relationships flourish when people laugh together, play together, and when humor is a part of everyday life. Stop taking everything so seriously and learn to see the funny side of life. Intimacy flourishes when there is lightness of being, not when everything is heavy.

SERVICE

A wonderful way of creating intimacy is to do service projects together. Giving to others fills the heart and creates deep satisfaction in the soul. Doing service moves you out of yourself and your own problems and supports a broader, more spiritual view of life.

If you and your partner agree to these 7 choices, you will be amazed at the improvement in your relationship!

YEEAHHH!! Credits rolled and I thought, '...? Wait, that's..that's it?..HUH!?' - Saying you won't forget V and going on about your life whilst just letting Knull who is the reason V DIED go about living is CRAZYYYYYYYYTT ‼️‼️😭😭

Like I loved the movie and understand they wanted ppl to know this is the final movie but someone said 'i think it should've ended with Eddie staring off in silence' and YESSSSSSS this sounded wayyyy better for me.

This isn't your typical vigilante with his side kick.....THIS WAS A NORMAL MAN WITH AN ALIEN that shared a mind with him and could physically manifest out of it!! V can and HAS LITERALLY changed the chemistry and structure of Eddie's mind! But it wasn't just in mind though, it was EVERYTHING! Like the intimacy of sharing a mind, body AND soul!?

The film really ended in Eddie being like, 'well damn, that was a crazy lil experience 🤣🙏'

BROOOOO?????

"I won't forget you Buddy"

Comic book Eddie would've started to track down and slaughter Knull. 😭
