#like i'd still hate it but at least she'd be honest lmao

[bobbinalong]

In response to criticism of how she broke them up Fitzmartin said that Tim and Steph always had a volatile relationship and broke up like every two issues and wasn't perfect. What do you think of this defence?

I think that's untrue and betrays that she doesn't really know anything about them lol.

I'm pretty certain they never actually broke up. Like properly.

They had moments of not speaking, mainly after Bruce revealed Tim's ID to Steph and when Steph became Robin bc they were already planning on killing her off, and there were certainly misunderstandings in the relationship at times but most of that can be explained by normal teenage stupidity and Bruce hanging over them.

The only times they weren't together was after Steph died and came back because, well, she had DIED, but I think that version of them got back together during Convergence, in the N52 before that bc Steph literally just did not exist at first, and when Tim "died".

Timsteph certainly weren't perfect. I mean, Dixon was writing them, that's almost enough said. And the relationship was volatile at times because they were both stubborn, passionate children with occasionally clashing view points, so there's some points in their relationship where a break-up would have made sense.

The version of them we had in 2021, coming off of Tynion's 'Tec and Bendis' Young Justice, though, was not at such a point. Tim was, like, disgustingly in love with Steph before UL, lol.

oooh a fun one I thought of was what kind of games does monica like to play (sfw & nsfw) the most considering how competitive she is

- ✨️

I had to compile a list of board games that I actually remember because I never had siblings growing up so I didn't get to play them often 😭 regardless I hope you like it <3

Games that Monica Geller likes to play

Warnings: both sfw and nsfw games are mentioned here but nothing's super explicit, some nsfwish stuff under the cut

Most people don't play games with Monica because of how competitive she is (the drama that surrounded the Geller Bowl is certainly proof of that lmao) which is a shame because she's actually really good at a lot of things, including physical games such as football

Pictionary and charades are probably her weak points, though. She's not always good at guessing pictures or what people are miming which tends to frustrate her and cause her to erupt (if you're actually good at those games then she'll definitely fight to have you on her team)

She likes trivia games because she enjoys proving how much smarter she is than other people (for example when her and Rachel played the game against Chandler and Joey over the fight for the apartment)

She's the type of person to have a dictionary with her when playing Scrabble so she can challenge whoever puts down a long word to make sure it's real (and she'll flip through it herself to give her a few good ideas)

I don't think she'd like chess or checkers, though. Those games require a bit more thought and strategy rather than just aggressive force, so they wouldn't really be for her

Board games like Sorry, The Game of Life, Candyland, and Clue are only fun for her if she's winning, and if she's losing she hates it (most people won't play those with her anyway because of that. No matter how the game's going, she always gets under people's skin even if it's unintentional)

Some games to never play with her is Monopoly or Uno. She can and will fight with people over the rules, especially when it comes to her fake houses' property tax and whether the Uno rules actually qualify or not

Do not under any circumstances ever introduce her to video games such as Call Of Duty or Fortnite unless you want to lose your girlfriend to a Discord server full of incels (I'm joking but I'm also not though)

This or that or truth or dare are games that she would actually be pretty chill with playing since they're not competitive ones (though knowing her she'd still try to make it be) so if you want a much calmer game night that's what I'd suggest

Now onto some more explicit games she might like to play

Obviously this or that and truth or dare can be tweaked so that they're more geared towards adults, which I think she'd definitely enjoy

It's also canon that she'd be up to playing strip poker (as the group of friends did in the two part episode where they went to the beach)

This one isn't really a game, but that one couple activity where you use body safe paint and then have sex on a canvas? Yeah she'd proudly display that out in the open but get all coy whenever asked what it's supposed to be (you'd have to lay down a plastic tarp because of the mess obviously but in that case I'd say she'd think the reward outweighs the risk)

You also might be able to convince her to try out roleplay or acting out a sexy scene from a movie (though to be completely honest that sounds more like something Rachel would do but still)

Monica strikes me as someone who's a bit more open with trying out things, so if you ever wanted to suggest something specific to do in the bedroom I think she'd be willing to at least try it out once

End notes: I hope this was okay sparkle anon <3

Siblings and Questions Tag!

Thank you for the tag, @mysticstarlightduck! Your post was lovely, especially the part about your characters' worst habits.

We'll look at Cerie and Uileac, because of course we will.

1. Who looks the most like Dad?

Cerie, actually. Papa Seorus had a rougher look about him.

2. Who looks the most like mom?

Uileac. Mama Caoimhe was a very slender, foxish woman, and Uileac has her angular bony figure.

3. Who eats the most?

Uileac lol. I mean, it makes sense; he spends most of his day riding and training, so of course he's going to need more fuel than lazy-ass Cerie.

4. Who has been in the weirdest situations?

Cerie to be sure. Later on in The Eirenic Verses she is kidnapped by their country's mortal enemy, Sina, and forced to help them. Uileac's shenanigans cannot compare.

5. Who sleeps the most?

Cerie. She's such a useless lesbian. Uileac is up at the crack of dawn, a very Type A person, whereas Cerie would nap all day if you let her.

7. Most stable romantic life?

Uileac. He's been with his partner Orrinir since they were 18, whereas Cerie just kinda ... gets around a lot in her teens/early adulthood. Not to the extent where Uileac will have to chastise her, but some flings here and there.

8. Worst habit of each one?

Cerie: Acting like a martyr and thinking she has to do everything by herself, even though Uileac and her brother-in-law Orrinir would always help her if she needed it. Uileac: Stubbornness and pride. He can't handle any damage to his reputation.

9. Who's the most dramatic?

Neither of them are very dramatic in general, but I'd have to say Cerie. She can howl like a dying animal if she has the least bit of discomfort whatsoever lmao.

10. Who had a weird phase?

I guess Cerie? I don't think either of them really had a weird phase, to be honest. But Cerie definitely had a defiant teenage angst phase.

11. Best cook of the family?

Both of them are shit cooks and hate doing it. If Uileac's husband, Orrinir, was not there to feed them, both of them would die. However, if you put a sword to their throat and forced them to cook, Uileac's food would probably not kill you.

12. Best memory together?

Probably Uileac's wedding to Orrinir. They danced all night, got super drunk, and then came home to their brand new house in Goldnin <3 Of course Cerie was allowed to live with the newlyweds. Wasn't even a question.

13. Worst memory together?

Their parents dying in the raid on the family farm in Quirnis. I'll let Uileac take it away with his explanation from Funeral of Hopes:

14. Dream trip together

Heading out to The Windswept, where the nomadic tribes of Breme still do their typical nomadic things. Uileac has always wanted to get a Windswept pony because they're much sturdier than the horses one can get in the settlements (sorry, Erix, it's true). Cerie wants to hear their oral traditions and learn more about their folk religions to better understand how it differs from High Poetry. She's also always wanted to meet people from the Seinn tribe, which produced the first saint of her religion, Saint Luridalr. Being strictly nomadic, the Seinn don't visit the Bremish settlements like some of the other tribes do.

15. Would you rather not be able to shower for a month or have the same clothes for a month?

Cerie: Shower. She could probably deal with having the same clothes for a month, though she'd complain about it the whole time. Uileac: Same clothes. No one said you couldn't wash them, right? He'll just go naked for a lil bit.

16. Who's the older one?

Uileac is older by about four years.

17. Describe each other in three words

Cerie would describe Uileac as: Prideful, composed, protective Uileac would describe Cerie as: Stubborn, intelligent, loyal

18. Role model?

Cerie's role model is her mentor, Irith Druidinn. Irith has been her teacher since she was incredibly young and has taught her everything she knows about High Poetry. She hopes to be half the poet that her teacher is. Uileac's role model is their late father, Papa Seorus. He strives to always make his father proud, but unfortunately, he doesn't really know what his father would consider honorable, given that Papa Seorus died when Uileac was just 11.

19. Who usually has the worst ideas?

One would think it would be Cerie, given that she's younger and more stubborn, but it's actually Uileac. His bad ideas are generally about protecting his reputation and/or his loved ones, which doesn't always mesh well with what he's supposed to be doing.

20. A GIANT insect is on the wall, who's taking care of it?

Uileac for sure. Cerie is screaming and waving her arms as if that will make the bug go away. Meanwhile, Uileac is pulling out his bow and trying to do a trick shot. A moving target! How exciting! (Hey, you said it was GIANT, definitely big enough for him to hit.) Then, of course, Cerie yells at him for shooting a fucking arrow through the wall while he shrugs and says it's good practice. Never know when the Sinans might learn to harness insect warriors. If he misses, the hubbub has attracted Orrinir, who does the intelligent thing and takes it outside.

If you enjoyed this, maybe you'll consider purchasing 9 Years Yearning, which is all about Cerie and Uileac growing up <3 There are some really cute scenes of them together.

[nerves-nebula]

You know what's funny?

I was a very quiet baby, and then toddler and then kid -- partly because I couldn't speak lmao -- but like, in the sense that I wouldn't fuss. I still don't cry, and I've never lashed out or yelled at anybody because I don't feel the standard sad and angry.

But my little sister has always felt everything so much. I can't remember a single day she hasn't yelled at me for literally whatever, and every single time she'd hurt my feelings when we were smaller and I'd report it to my parents, they'd tell me "it's because she feels" and leave her to it.

And I never understood why she did that until I saw your comics. You're somehow able to portray strong feelings? Sadness and anger. Still have no idea how that stuff feels like but that last comic panel made me realize I understood why Leo lashed out you know?

So idk. I think I can ignore my younger sister yelling at me now. Thanks to your art.

that's wild. that I like, helped you with that?? just by expressing myself? god i love art.

im definitely more on the emotional side but I'd HATE to hurt anyone so I try to keep it all internal instead of lashing out. unfortunately, being more honest with my emotions means that sometimes they make me into a Shitty Ass person. honestly T has helped me a lot with emotional regulation, at least, I'm not having sobbing fits nearly as much since I started it haha.

but yea my entire childhood was just miserable cause of how emotional i felt all the time, and how i never got help for it. so I'm very well acquainted with Extreme Emotions.

I'm glad I helped you with that. emotions are hard, I'd say that strong enough emotions borderline make you temporarily insane (speaking from experience) and panic is a hell of a drug. though that's not an excuse to lash out at people, and it sucks that you keep getting yelled at. your sister should work on that tbh.

but I imagine that if you've never had such overwhelming, all consuming emotions, it might be hard to understand the idea of someone lashing out so viciously.

BUT now i'm just rambling :) POINT IS this is very sweet and I'm happy to help hah

[cryptturon]

might be a weirdly specific form of gaslighting but 👍

theres this thing where i'd have an everyday conversation with my mom almost completely devoid of my actual personality because if i don't watch my speech patterns and frequent stammers i get yelled at.

the one thing i fall back on to make it seem like i'm not emotionless is to laugh at the end of nearly all my sentences to what i can tell is an unnatural degree, but it's goofy enough for her to let it slide rather than treat it like it's creepy or weird.

except i just realized that's something my dad does when he speaks (despite me barely remembering the last time i saw him, that's something i clearly remember him doing in conversations). and my mom won't say it but she fucking hates him and his family but only lashes out at me when she's upset about them bc she'd rather be abusive to me than honest or rude to them lmao

but she doesn't directly do anything about how i speak. in fact i almost doubt shes doing this next bit with fully conscious intent, but it happens when she excitedly retells the entire conversation to someone else later who wasnt there to hear it, blatantly, especially when she's in front of me: she always revises my entire re-enacted personality and even gives my "character" some of the things she said in the conversation just to make me REALLY sound like a spoiled preteen girl with an attitude (her ideal version of me, bc it's a carbon copy of herself). yknow rather than a queer guy entering his 20s with none of his mental disabilities and illnesses diagnosed. like i already workshopped how to avoid envoking the wrath of god when i speak to her and she still subtly course-corrects it with the goal of maintaining Better Version Child in her mind like. man.

somehow my anxiety was bad enough to at least pick up on it and realize i dont have to go insane over this but there was a time where i would kinda freak out about whether or not my personality was real bc of this ✌️

[moonlightperseus]

Oh don't even worry about it! Half the time I send the anons *at* work so I can't really judge!

I also think that's more so what I do, bit then because of that I'm like "oh I guess I'm done now" bit then the second someone is like "oh comics?" I am feral. Even recently I was at work (the store I work at is doing Reno's so we had to be there to stock over night, ie: there's like 4 people in the store total) and the person I was working with was like "yeah I went to Comicon?" And I was like "why did you go to comic-con if you don't like comics?" And long story short I infodumped so much (she was at the very least, pretending to be engaged in the conversation and I will forever love her for that) that a floorer from ACROSS THE STORE was like "wow they're really nerding out over there huh."

I think so! It was like genuinely when it first came out- i had two influences, one very specific person on my tumblr (you, I believe) and then like a friend at the time.

I didn't like it either but this time it didn't stop mr- the tales however I'm not caught up on. I found them less engaging. (Granted, was that a "I don't think I like this" or a "I forgot I liked comics and now it's been months so I don't actually know what I was reading or where I was in said thing"?)

I hate zombie media (though I tend to have a lot of dreams about zombies lmao) so I understand that. I haven't read any of them or even watched an episode. I just think that's like their BIG name. (and Spawn, but I can't tell you shit about spawn)

I absolutely LOVE the new run. Like I know it's only one issue in so I'm saying that a little early but I was SO excited when Sin was mentioned. I used to write Black Canary fan fic and I had a little idea I never followed through with where Sin came back, mostly because I was just angry that she didn't exist anymore. (granted she came back as a villian, though she switches sides. I don't remember most of my thoughts but I remember designing the costume and trying to include obvious inspiration from black Canary's without being like, a direct copy. (things like fishnets, for sure, but not even full leg fishnets. Iirc it was more so kind of like pants with cut outs that showed fishnets- bit all of this is extra beside the point)) so I was OVERJOYED when she was brought back. I am so intrigued and Dinah deserves her daughter back. (I understand the sister thing in context but that's not how I see it ever)

I ALSO am so intrigued, honestly. Plus it's extra funny because if you take into consideration the Green Arrow and Black Canary run: this is the second family member of Dinah's the Amazon's have stolen.

I was really mad when the BoP movie didn't include Babs (especially since she started it, so how do you make an origin story without the origin?) But I agree that I don't mind this at all. Especially since she is mentioned and it really does keep them as bestfriends (well, it alludes to that so if you're me and you say so that means it keeps them as bestfriends) I haven't read a lot of batfam comics aside from Batwoman bit honestly I love Cass too, she shows up in one of the older runs just as a "friend" of Dinah and idk id die for her. Barda I LOVE (to be fair I am a lesbian and I do have a thing for women built like tanks) so I'm super excited to see more of her!! And I agree that I've never heard of zealot.

Harley is great too!! I was really excited for her and Dinah's relationship (because yes, those would've been injustice panels- and they are BEST friends in injustice and they own my entire heart) but I was disappointed when Harley didn't like Dinah. It makes sense in context but I'm still like hey no love her.

To be so honest I didn't even bother trying to read it but I love that you did. That makes it easier for me. I love the whole vibe of her having to plan. I feel like she'd be good at it given her time leading both the JLA and the JSA.

I'd also just like to say that I find the new bop art style beautiful

Injustice is a lot of fun, but like I said I might be biased. It's hard to say, because when I started reading it I had really only read a couple Harley Quinn and wonder woman comics and all things considered was really just a fake fan. But I read it and it turned me on to comics as a whole. (especially, since I said in my initial ask, it's what introduced me to Dinah). I would recommend it to people just starting out especially because it's the kind with such a big cast of characters you can meet new ones and get acquainted with them and it broadens your horizons so to say. (I also play the games, though "play" is a strong word because I suck at video games- I haven't gotten through either story, but my brother let me watch the lil character endings for my favourites when *he* beat them). But at the same time, yeah men. Men exist in it. Like a lot.

I also haven't finished bombshells tbch. I love the style of it but I bought the first volume and was just so sad about how much comics cost that I didn't buy another volume (95% of my comics are used, gifted, or bought from the dollarstore)

I absolutely love getting to nerd out about comics lmao so this is great-

And I will say for wlw I LOVE Secret Six, which is a villian team, and tbch I haven't gotten through the whole run (I just keep getting tired of comics as a whole, not of it) but it's written by Gail Simone at the same time as her BOP run (though I know she's hit and miss) but it involves a lesbian polyam relationship (and one of the women involved is built like Barda so that gets extra points from me)

(well tonight i’m responding while at work lol)

first can i say i openly welcome infodumping about comics!! i find the dc universe particularly sooo interesting (i’ve enjoyed some marvel comics as well, but like the world itself doesn’t intrigue me the same way?) i’ve been into superheroes ever since i discovered like the animated shows when i was a kid (i thinkkk the first one i watched was the animated avengers assemble? i watched several of them but my most beloved is the justice league (& justice league unlimited) show. in my completely unbiased opinion, i think the animated shows are a great gateway into the comics world. i devoured every single one i could find. i also really enjoyed the x-men ones & have thought about trying out some x-men comics bc of them. (but the x-men world is another one sooo fucking big idk where to begin lmao)

also god. “i forgot i liked comics and don’t remember where i was at” is SUCH a huge fucking mood god. esp bc there’s always SO GODDAMN much of comics (not that i’m complaining) it’s like. wait have i read this already?

yeah ik there was a lot of upset fans over the bop movie with it not including babs and with turning cass into an oc (which. now that i’ve actually read her comics i understand the full scale of how much they uhh. changed cass for the movie) but i am simply such a bitch for black canary and jurnee smollett dinah sooo godtier that that movie was simply everything to me lmao, i feel like it had a lot of potential to set up for a proper bop movie (one that’s not centric on harley) and like. maybe even bring in babs, they WERE doing the batgirl movie so ig it sort of makes sense if that’s why they left babs out of the first movie but like if post batgirl they added her to the movie bop lineup that could work! and then they fucking canned the batgirl movie which i’m still pissed about and now the dceu is kinda like. imploded? but i’m gonna hold on to the probably somewhat delusional hope that i will get to see jurnee smollett dinah again 😭 (also like my dream is jurnee smollett BC with luke mitchell GA, which is an especially out there dream since luke mitchell as ollie exists only in my head & heart)

also totally get the comics being expensive thing, while i have physical copies of the original bombshells run that i got thru i think a combination of being gifted and buying them for myself as a little treat, i used hoopla (online library app) to read the bombshells united run. hoopla is like my main (legal) way of reading comics tbh, however if you need an…alternative 😉 access to a LOT of comics this site has been my best friend. i do genuinely recommend trying to continue bombshells its genuinely my absolute favorite. like DC peaked with bombshells and i will die on that hill. i would love if dc gave bombshells an animated film or smth. another thing i will hold out hope for jsjsjfjsjs. i just really love dc bombshells (it definitely helps that it’s super wlw. i am a changed man from bombshells vixen and hawkgirl being a couple. and supergirl kissing lois lane <3)

i will definitely have to add secret six to my list of comics to checkout bc wlw content is always a huge win for me!!!

[thatonemothboy]

So that just happened

I did gather up all my courage to go to that little village party, it was for christmas. I mean it's not even December yet but why not lmao. Took Slucky (my dog, don't judge her name it's an hommage) with me, I figured she'd make an amazing excuse to pass by without looking that interested.

What ? Me ? Wanting to come here ? You little goofy prankster, I'm just walking out my dog !

Plus, scary dog privileges when walking hooome.

Anyway...

Forgive me for no pictures of it, forgot my phone at home and was terrified about it for the hour but hey. Food was great ! Could have been cheaper.

Everyone love dogs, a bit too much... At least it starts the conversation.

I still get so nervous while talking to people, it will never change but I think I perfomed my social duties pretty well, call me a professional now.

I was starting to think maybe I was paranoid to think I have a bad reputation, until I was reminded that : No. It's true. I have a bad reputation.

It almost seems like it's always the people who are part of that church collective, I don't really know how to call it. They mostly organize events for charity (including the one I was at) and other "good stuff" ... You get me. They don't like me much. Most of them.

If I'd have to be honest, to me they very much sound like a cult. The "we're a big family" vibe ain't doing it for me. No one will ever call it for what it is... Am I too judgemental ?

They do be looking like that sometimes lol

Anyway.

I came around a corner between a few stands, tried to eat my hot dog in peace while giving Slucky some space from these filthy kids hands.

"Tried" is the keyword, never got to even get a taste of that heavenly food. Because she saw another dog, a small one. She hate those, I have no idea why it's probably a vendeta from a past life. The leash tied around my leg and to not die I had to sacrifice my only will to live (the hot dog).

It went flying just like in a movie, a very bad movie, straight in a pot (good soup) one of the church boy was keeping hot. Honestly would have been funny, if it wasn't me and if I did not exist in that space and time.

I never have the reflex to say sorry immediatly, so I just standed here, looking absolutely flabbergasted (is this how it's written ?)

I'm glad it made him laugh, I was already ready to never get out of my appartement again. He did gave me a coupon for another hot dog for free, which was really kind indeed. I just ran away with it. Gave it to a kid and went home to die. Regular stuff.

I swear, it always happens to me.

To be honest, it actually felt good to be out. I should do this more often.

Enough posting from me, I gotta be ready for work right away, goodnight y'all !

Bonus picture I got quickly reporting for duty ☆
