#look at him he's broken

[regonold]

Danny's flight or fight response has quite the hair trigger for a few select phrases most being things vlad would say

One such being his full name a bit odd but there's a reason he always asks to be called danny

So really it's not his fault after joining the school in gotham he had been introduced to his class and he'd told them to call him danny

And he hadn't heard him all he'd heard was someone calling him danial and putting a hand on his shoulder

So really he can't be blamed for how he reacted he told everyone not to call him Daniel and he snuck up and called him daniel

How can he be blamed for breaking Damien waynes nose

pip's defense of mum's absence is hollow to his own ears; they're words meant for henry, they've always been words meant for henry, because pip is too old and too cynical to believe it himself ( apparently henry is too these days --- christ, this is like realising that henry is too old for santa, the tooth fairy and the easter bunny all over again, but far more devastating ).

that's a bullshit reason, pip. yeah, it is, and pip knows it, but he's perpetuated it for so long. he doesn't answer, doesn't dare to even take a breath as henry white-knuckles his teacup like he might snap it in half with the weight of his words.

if only dad could see them now.

he can't help the way he flinches as henry lays out the charges against them all, and finds them guilty guilty guilty of neglect and general shittiness while henry was still far too young to deal with everything he'd ended up dealing with alone. you never came to visit except to tell me off. it hurts, because he knows it's true. he wishes it wasn't true, knows the reason it is true, but there's nothing he can do about it now.

he offers no defence for himself - he's never told henry or beatrice about the way gran had twisted the knife in his heart until he'd stopped fighting, had started to take what she'd dealt out with a nod and a quiet agreement, a puppet she could control with just a twitch of his strings. he's never told them that he'd let her drive a wedge between the three of them so they'd be easier to control, three broken kids who were left lonely and bereft of parental love, that he'd had to let her, because she was threatening their futures behind closed doors.

he's never told them that the one time he'd lost his absolute shit with her, the day before a-level season had started and the papers were already writing about henry, the day she'd sat him down and laid out their packed-out schedules for the next three months and he'd told her it's too much for them, just leave them alone, they're just children. she'd just turned cold eyes on him and told him that if he was struggling so much, perhaps he should reconsider his ability to lead the country. that if beatrice was struggling that much, she could always be found alternative lodgings. that if henry was struggling to do as he was told, perhaps-

this isn't about gran, though --- except it is, kind of, because if mum had been present and pulled her head out of her arse and remembered that they existed occasionally, that they were feeling the same pain she was but doubled, they might not have been so emotionally beaten down.

he and bea had been adults when everything had happened; independent, free(ish) to deal with their grief in their own ways. they hadn't been constrained by a strict daily routine decided by someone else, aside from gran's list of appearances. they hadn't been uprooted and sent away, left at school and then alone at kensington because everybody was too busy to look after them.

they had lives and friends and privacy, and henry hadn't had any of them.

philip still hasn't said a word, curled over his own teacup as guilt and sadness and so many other emotions wash over him in waves. he can't apologise - it's not enough. he can't apologise because it won't change the past, won't bring dad back, won't change the fundamentals of who gran is and how mum had shut down.

"i told her it was too little too late after that meeting," he says finally, voice small like he's confessing to something truly heinous. "she barely even acknowledged me, hen. the only thing she said to me was that she didn't appreciate my tone, and then after..." he scrubs his palms over his face, inhales deeply. "she tried to rip a strip off me, told me she was disappointed in the way i'd treated you and bea, that she'd expected more from me, and if isn't that just the story of my entire fucking life?" his laugh is bitter, angry, forced through his teeth. "anyway, i told her i didn't need a mother. i'm too old for her to come barging back in and start dictating what she thinks i should and shouldn't be doing, and i told her all that."

and she'd looked at him with betrayal in her eyes, tried to tell him that dad would be disappointed and he'd walked away in anger.

"i'm... i'm sorry for my part in everything, henry. i am, genuinely. i should've been there, should've asked you to move to anmer so you weren't alone. i should've done so much more to make sure you were alright."

of course he hears his brother's words . he recognises them intimately . the explanation and defense of mum's actions in the years since dad had died . . . so many years that he almost remembers more years with her refusing to see him than he remembers the years of her being around . and that was unfair .

he recognises it because he has said that to himself over and over for so many years . his hands tighten on his cup again , knuckles and fingertips turning white against the china . " that's a bullshit reason , pip .  "

if they're talking , well , he might have well say it .

" and i know it is , because i said the same about you when you never came to visit except to tell me off . i said the same about bea when she cared more about partying than the fact i was living in kensington by myself . they've lost dad too , they're just sad in their own way . her refusing to seek help for her mental health because she was sad does not excuse how she treated us . "     

how she treated me . he wanted to shout . how he was just a kid, kicked out of and banished from the only home he had ever known days after losing the most important person in his life .

" bea didn't get to use it as an excuse when her addiction problems were all over the front pages , and i didn't get to use it when i got into that fight at eton . so she doesn't get to use it either . "

and it is quite possible that henry is madder than he thought.

it's quite possible that he hasn't been able to let go of how it had felt to lose his entire family in one swoop . because that was what he had felt like . philip and bea had lives already , exciting lives full of people henry didn't know , doing things henry didnt know about . but his life had still been eton and boarding houses and seeing his parents on the weekends . he still had school timetables and saturday and wednesday sports afternoons. he still had homework and mock exams and real exams and school uniforms and half terms .

his temper cooled as fast as it had spiked and something sad and small replaced it . somehow he's that seventeen year old again who had just lost his dad and din't know what to do . but maybe it's more than that , maybe this is him standing up for that seventeen year old .

" she knew i was gay, dad told me they knew . and she knew that gran knew and she knew what she was like and she sent me to live with her anyway . showing up nearly ten years later ,   a week after it hit the papers ,   is quite frankly a little too late .  alex got here faster from the white house,  for christ's sake .  "

The thing is there a million cute ways that Steve could meet Wayne without Eddie’s involvement, but only two ways that Eddie could meet the Harringtons outside of Steve:

(1) He’s their drug dealer

(2) Little tiny Eddie was riding his bike really fast and they pulled out in front of him. He crashed into their car. They yelled at him.

Anatomy of Alastors demonic forms

[turtleblogatlast]

Headcanon that Leo really loved to give his family massages growing up. We know that he’s good at them from the episode “You Got Served” and we know he likes spas and relaxation and getting massages himself from when he tried to get these in “Bad Hair Day” and from when Donnie made a tennis ball massage machine in “Smart Lair.”

So I think it’d be cute to think that maybe one day Leo overheard Splinter complaining about a bad back and immediately Leo thinks back to a comic or movie or something he saw where a massage helped so he offers to give one and it actually ends up helping Splinter.

Then April swings by the Lair at a later time and mentions her back hurting because of her backpack from school and Leo’s all like “I gotcha!”

From there, he occasionally manages to convince Donnie to sit for one because Donnie’s shrimp posture does not help him any (Leo pokes fun at how sandpaper-y Donnie’s shell is despite knowing it’s always like that and Donnie smacks him for it.) Donnie usually prefers hand massages instead however as all his typing and inventing adds up over time, and shoulder massages too once he starts wearing his battle shells more. Leo also figures out how to give massages to Raph and Mikey’s shells as well, though it’s a struggle at first to not scratch his hands on Raph’s spikes.

I think since Leo has such bad luck with spas and the like, he tries giving himself massages (though it’s not as helpful.) Like, with how his abilities work his legs are probably always aching from his portal jumping and one foot landings, so maybe he branches past back massages out of a need to help his own aches too. (Though he really wants a shell massage himself, the same way he’d give them…the one time with Donnie’s tennis ball massage machine was but a short moment of what Leo’s been missing out on and what he’ll continue missing out on…)

I don’t know, I just think it’d be cute to think Leo could have honed his massaging skill this way in order to help out his family (and also partially because he wants a massage himself.)

Opened stormbringer to check how corruption was described there (it was actually both black particles and red marks) BUT saw this instead and aughhh blehhhhh throwing up

Dazai seeing Chuuya's corrupted form for the first time and softly going on about how this whole thing actually isn't a disgrace at all,,,

Every time i see Dazai looking at Chuuya in corruption he does some gay sht like have you seen how he stares at Chuuya in chapter 31. This man is so down bad. He's holding a knife to John's throat but is still looking at Chuuya with some stupid puppy eyes. I hate him sm. Cried. Threw up.

If we see corruption in manga again, all i ask for is more of this typa Dazai, please Asagiri,, please Harukawa

As so many of you are filling my inbox asking about salad and why I found the fact they had two types of salad for dinner in the Buck and Tommy dinner scene so funny, I'm guessing you're new to the 911 fandom - Welcome if so! I am going to give you a very brief rundown of salad and Buck and Eddies various relationships, but @clusterbuck is actually the keeper of salad theory and you can find far more detailed analysis over on her blog than you’re getting from me here!!

I can't find gif of the actual salad moments so have pictures!!

Chris smashed salad bowl that he is making a salad in with his dad in season 4 (in Breaking point) - when he finds out about Ana being the person Eddie is dating.

We have Ana turn up at the firehouse with Chris during the black out in 5x02 with 5 - yes 5 - types of salad When Eddie has his second on screen panic about Ana - when Ravi mistakes her for his wife.

Then in 5x03 just before they break up - Eddie, Chris, and Ana are at the dining table in the Diaz house and they are eating fruit salad

Then in 5x05 we have Taylor with her prepackaged fruit salad breakfast the she has 'made' for Buck when he gets home

she is making a bean salad in 5x09 during the most awkward I love you scene in the history of television!

Then we have a caprese salad in front of Natalia during the Dinner Buck cooked for her in 5x17 - when she finds out about various aspects of Bucks past and present - Taylor on the tv and Kameron turns up

Then in 7x07 - when Eddie is daydreaming of a do over with Shannon during his lunch with Marisol they are eating a salad

then we now have Buck and Tommy eating two different types of salad (a pasta salad and a salad salad) on their dinner date

so basically it's become a bit of a running joke that if salad is involved with Buck or Eddie and one of their dates (especially in their own homes) , the relationship is doomed!

I think if Mairon had to acknowledge exactly how fucking messed up he is because of Melkor and everything he did to survive Angband and what he built himself into during the First Age, I think he would-- well. I think he wouldn't, is the thing.

I think he can't allow himself to think about it too hard. What was it Charlie Vickers said about him still putting himself down through the rabbit hole-- he's been moving forward so long that he can't stop and look his own darkness in the eye. None of this can be about him, about fixing him. He utterly refuses the self-scrutiny. It has to be about fixing the world, about finding that perfect peace at any cost. I really don't think he thought about the elvish rings healing him. And actually I think if he put Nenya on and had a moment of-- idk, peace or healing or some distance from the scars Melkor left, I think it would be absolutely agonizing to him.

And you know, if he got to the end of his ruthless pursuit for perfect order and got everything he thinks he wants, I don't even know if he could look at the ruin of himself and what all the means have done to him in pursuit of an end.

I don't know that he could stop! He's been running so long!!!! I like to think that part of his refusal to plead with the Valar for pardon and mercy-- in addition to not wanting to be shamed and beholden to other people for the work of repair-- is that he can't listen when anyone says, you need to sit down and look at the trauma in you, it'll feel so bad, but you need to do it to really move past it, and then you'll need to see the steps you took in His shadow, as His shadow-- he can't, he can't, he doesn't want to, he won't, he'll keep running, there is no stopping--
