Interesting

It makes me SICK to my stomach to know that Stolas has only pictures like this on his phone.

Pictures of a grumpy Blitz who obviously looks like he couldn’t hate being in his presence more. Pictures that show him that whatever they had really wasn´ t what he told himself it was. In one fucking night he is losing ANY proof that the thing between him and Blitz was more than fucking and him just hanging on to a thread to feel something. 

Then meanwhile …

Blitz is the one who has a picture of him and Stolas being together. ANd he is genuinely smiling. He has the proof that beneath every fucked up aspect of their relationship, there are true feelings. That he cares. 

AND STOLAS CANT FUCKING SEE THAT NOW !!!

Thinking about how the Titan still gave Luz the light glyph even if he knew that she would also give it to Philip in the past

I have this headcanon that Duke is like… the only person who can shit talk Damian to his face and everyone else is flabbergasted bc like- its damian, but Duke lives with the guy and actually has no chill, so Damian allows it because… Duke’s like… his closest brother because they live together.. like-

Damian: *scowling around at people at a very important social event* Dick: *trying to get him to smile* Duke: *flatly, snaps his fingers twice in Damian’s direction* Fix your face Critter Dick: *ready to hold Damian back if he attacks* Damian: *bats Duke’s hand away, but smooths out his expression and almost looks… normal* ~ Duke and Jason: *having a discussion* Damian: *walks in* D+J: *laugh* Damian: What am I missing? Duke: *without missing a beat* a few inches of height Jason: *agog* Damian: *rolls eyes* ~ Robin: I need to get to the top of that wall Signal: You do? Damn. Thats a shame. *whistles* Damian: *scowling* Duke: Do you have something to ask, short stack? Dick: *ready to intervene on Duke’s behalf* Damian: *through gritted teeth*  Could you help me up the wall, Signal? Please. Duke: *smirks. Yeets him up* Dick: *gagged* Bruce: *used to it, sighs*

I think it would be nice to have the option to hide numbers on ao3. Make it where the 'kudos' and 'hits' number is author-viewable only, have an alternate option for when a list is sorted by such so people can read things based off their tags and preferences rather than see big number go brrrr

I speak as someone with popular fics, it doesn't have to be a requirement but like, an option? This could go for other websites too, tumblr notes and the like

okay hear me out ik it’s mixing runs but still:

imagine all that stuff between joker, harley, and tim goes down: tim getting kidnapped, then brainwashed, joker junior happens, all that fun stuff and everything is the same event wise BUT tim either doesn’t kill the joker or he lives.

life moves on and tim heals as much as a vigilante can, harley leaves joker for ivy, joker still causes problems but no bat has died from him since jason and he’s still a psychopathic asshole but whatever. the thing is they keep tims past under lock and key, and none of the other bats know besides bruce and alfred.

it all comes to a head when they’re all kidnapped by joker and restrained and are losing hope by the minute for someone to save them and suddenly out of nowhere tim stills staring at something in the distance until his eyes go wide. the rest of the batfam don’t understand what’s going on until tim barks out a sharp command and two somethings come crawling out of the darkness and lo and behold it’s lou and bud (jokers hyenas) and they listen to him. they stop a bit in front of him only for tim to give another sharp command of gnaw before they’re shredding the rope. and right after they’re done, they lick his face like some overgrown puppies and tim doesn’t look like he’s enjoying it at all bc who knows who they’ve eaten. but tim gets up and unties his family and they all defeat joker before sending him off to arkham again.

this raises a series of questions like why do the hyenas listen to tim? why don’t they maul him on the spot? why are they acting like big babies and why does tim care where they go after the battle? why is he calling harley to pick them up and why does he have her number? so many questions.

In honor of Mermay I just had a THOUGHT about abyssal mer Jason.

Like, he’s such a little cutie patootie when Bruce first finds him and integrates him into his little clan consisting of an acrobatic reef mer and and older, regular shallows mer.

And Jason is so smol and cute and fits right along the curve of Bruce’s tail in a way that makes him essentially vanish from the sight of predators. And, sure, his scales look a bit sturdier and stranger than the ones they know from other species of mer. And his tail fin is a bioluminescent veil of delicate membranes he uses to lure curious little fish and eat them, not to mention his tail is about thrice as long than that of other mers. But he’s just so adorable and obviously starving that Bruce, Dick, AND Alfred all disregard the strange little things about their newest pod member adding up in favor of absolutely coddling him. Mer children are rare enough as is, having one that’s so obviously malnourished is basically a crime.

So Jason grows. A lot. And then he dies.

And then he comes back just as a couple fishermen are ecstatic over having caught a live mer, water churning, and suddenly this absolute leviathan rises up from the ocean. Easily ten times the size of the fishermen’s ship.

This is a good time to talk again about how important the relationship between the Inquisitor and Solas is, regardless if it's a romantic one or not (maybe with even more weight and clarity on Solas’ character when it’s not the romance version because there’s less of those muddy feelings).

The way their connection, the trust and respect they have for each other, form and take shape during Inquisition is so organic and meaningful. Fen’Harel is a prideful bastard who doubles down on the things he knows even if they are wrong because he thinks it’s on him to fix them, and his arrogance keeps him blind to other options. But Solas, the one that walked by the Inquisitor’s side is, at the end of Trespasser, giving the Inquisitor the chance to ‘live well while time remains.’ But he knows them, he knows that the Inquisitor won’t be spending that time running away from this. That is Solas’ way of asking for help without saying ‘Please, don’t let me be right. Please find another way. Time is all I can give, see you at the end.’

And that is one amazing and strong connection, and a proof of trust, maybe even more so if the Inquisitor is not of elven origin, but a dwarf, qunari or human.

This isn’t meant to take away something from anyone. It's just that a lot of the focus in these online conversations falls on a Lavellan relationship or a romantic relationship, and the story of the inquisitor and Solas has more nuance to it, an often less talked about one.

Thinking abt the parallels between Luka and Adrien (+ their daddy issues)

Physically vs. Emotionally absent dads

How they both play their dad’s instrument

How they both wear their dad’s merch

How they both had preconceived notions of their dad before knowing it was Their Dad™ (Jagged Stone as Luka’s favorite artist and Hawk Moth as Adrien’s literal archenemy)

How Luka was abandoned and refuses to abandon others + How Adrien had to earn his father’s time and thinks he has to earn everyone else’s

= How they both are ASS at setting boundaries because of it

How (super randomly btw) the girl they dated happened to design things for their dad

^ How Gabriel didn’t even remember Mari despite her having a very active role in Adrien’s life, while Jagged Stone was closer to her than he was to his son

How Luka’s dad isn’t really ‘gone’ like Adrien’s mom is, but Adrien’s dad isn’t really ‘present’ like Luka’s mom is

^ How they’re both a living reminder of their ‘gone’ parent (dyed hair/blue eyes, blonde hair/green eyes) to their ‘present’ parent

+ Also think it’s neat how their outfits contrast (black vs. silver ring, white vs. black shirt, blue vs. blond hair); opposites, yet not opposite at all.

Besides the fact that Im delusion about Eddie Munson coming back, I wanna add that if he doesn't, the duffers kind of will establish that they are just really bad at handling characters.

What I mean by that is they have this really heavy, established pattern of new character is introduced soley for the purpose of dying? We have Bob, Chrissy, Eddie, Alexei, Barb, all of them introduced for the express purpose of being the emotional core of loss because they are too cowardly to have lasting impacts on the main cast. Im not saying that all of those people living would equal a good story, but I am saying its tiring to get the obvious, "Oh so youre the guy who dies and we will feel bad about it" thing be so damn obvious.

Eddie coming back would at least disrupt that pattern. It would be better then, "Hey everyone here is character 234B who is super fun and great, sure hope nothing happens to them🤫" and then they die so we can focus on the nancy, steve, johanthan love triangle again.

It gets boring.

just realised L’s “I may have lost the battle- but I’m not gonna lose the war” line from episode 6 or so basically ends up as a metaphor for the whole series. Sure, L Lawliet, he, dies. He loses the battle against Kira. But L wins. L, the title. Near and Mello.

Lawliet loses the battle, but L wins the war.

Been making my way through basically every page of the Aziraphale/Crowley Tag on AO3 and have now reached the fics circa 2015 before the show came out.

Its interesting to see how their relationship is so essentially the same but how little things feel so different between before their on screen portrayals.

One little tid-bit I'm enjoying is how in the absence of Gabriel and Lord Beeze from the show the 4 horsemen tend to be featured more as secondary characters with bearing on the plots in the human AUs I gravitate toward.

Since we haven't got Red hair Crowley in a half-bun yet or Davids Tennant's Iconic *gestures vaguely in the air* there's no paragraphs of prose describing their long silky flames of crimson locks or the swaggering of barely attached hips and sprawled limbs.

And since they haven't been exposed to the devastating effect of Micheal-Sheens facial expressions and puppy eyes, Aziraphale comes across a little more aloof, but still the fussy bastard we all love, and he still has Crowley just as wipped.

Im having a great time.

Jay may not be the type of character to necessarily start a cult, but he sure is eager to accept the role of clut leader when presented with the opportunity, and I feel like we don't talk about that enough...
