Okay but Mordred’s whole thing with Guinevere in the Vulgate is so interesting to me. Like it’s gone over very quickly but it’s fascinating that he just. Falls in love with her apparently.

And then the Post-Vulgate straight up compares Mordred’s love for her to Lancelot’s??

WILD

It just fascinates me. Mordred is usurping the throne but also his attempt to marry Guinevere is seemingly just from a genuine desire to I guess. I don’t know I just think it’s neat. I need to know more about these hangouts during Mordred’s regency that caused Mordred to fall so deeply in love. What did they talk about? Did Guinevere consider them friends? I have so many questions.

i see your “wu and garmadon started aging because they were separated/in different realms” and raise you;

its not just about them growing older. wu gives up immortality and becomes more human, less god, while garmadon starts turning into some sort of eldritch horror. into something inhuman. idk idk its just. such a wide divide.

"But before Mal could make the return trip to Greece with his family, John and Paul had flown back to England. Despite their misgivings about the habitability of Aegos, the boys instructed Alistair to make the purchase anyway, earning a modest profit when they flipped the property a few months later. Not wanting to disappoint Lil and the children, John invited the Evans family to spend a few weeks at his home in Weybridge. While they were there, Lily's father, William White, succumbed to a heart attack at age sixty-seven. Over the past few years, Mal had shared with her how intimidating John could be, so Lil was surprised when the Beatle brought her a cup of tea, let down his guard, and showered her with consolation. Like Mal, Lily would always remember John's tender gesture. 'It's very hard at times like these to give verbal comfort to anybody,' Mal wrote, 'but John was fantastic, and I knew that he gave Lil a lot of comfort in her hour of need — something I have always blessed him for.' Shortly afterward, Mal and his family made their sad return to Liverpool, 'where we were to receive a most beautiful letter from Brian Epstein, offering his condolences and sympathy.'"

regarding your tags on the kandreil vs kerejean poll. thea is also a raven though? like loyal to them til the end. how do we know she wouldn't also fall into the same bad habits... not trying to start a fight, i'm just genuinely confused.

Oh this is fun!! The important part about this is that we must remember there is so little of Thea in context of the actual series and from what I know, there’s not a lot about her in the EC (I haven’t read it and it’s not important to the OG post anyway). That being said, we Will need to use some of the EC to fill in her already lacking character.

This is gonna be analysis-heavy so forgive me for being wordy!

Thea has ofc gone through the terrible, horrible Ravens cult brainwashing as anyone else has. We don’t see her past Riko’s death, but we can assume she reacted similarly to the other Ravens. That kind of brainwashing is extremely difficult to fight against! And then having your essential cult leader die….yeah I’m sure she was going through it.

That being said, I think she can overcome it with careful therapy and a thorough care system. I’m sure Thea has friends and/or teammates that care about her and could support her through whatever breakthrough she had. I’m sure she cares enough about her spot on the Sirens to brute force her way to recovery. I even believe some distance away from the Ravens was enough to put even a little bit of apprehension of their practices after seeing that other teams — especially Professional teams — don’t do HALF of that shit is blind to be an eye-opener.

Combine those things together and Thea has a way out. I believe she gets better — at least functional. And the reason I believe this because of Kevin and Thea’s daughter! I don’t think either of them would raise a kid unless they were starting to heal from the Nest and made leaps and bounds. I don’t even think a child would be a thought to them UNTIL all that healing is done.

I also think Kevin needs to fully step out of the Ravens mindset to heal, and that means getting rid of the buddy system, and that means separating himself from Andrew a little bit!! Just a little bit. The same logic for Jean, really. Though these will be his closest friends and confidants, I think it’s easy to fall into habits with people you have an established history with. There’s a dynamic that’s easy and if you don’t pay attention, you can stumble back into it!!

I ALSO think Thea, being as strong willed as she is, will make Kevin at least start recovering before any kind of kid is involved. The way she stormed into Kevin’s dorm after hearing the news and threatened to break up? Her high position in the Ravens? Thea Muldani fights for what she wants and she will get it one way or another if it’s something worth fighting for.

Hence the therapy, hence the child!

Ofc bc Thea is so bare bones this is me doing analysis with scraps and more so going “What can Thea give Kevin that the others can’t?”

Serious question What do you think Mike's relationship with the other bad family members are like? (DC x FNAF)

Okay I love this question!

First off Bruce

Bruce already wants to adopt him so badly but it only gets worse after every fight with William. like in the Batcave post-battle he goes “Michael…” and then Mikes just gone fully disappeared peaced out (he snuck away while Bruce was brooding)

but if the battle with William's creations was emotionally taxing enough on Michael he goes to Bruce’s office instead of home and waits for him to come up (this happens enough for Bruce to check after every fight with William) and they just talk and/or hug for a while sometimes Mike crys himself to sleep in his arms but most of the time he’s stable enough to go to Tim’s room or home with Henry

Michael has a very Steph Like situation he has a guardian and a roof over his head but still spends most of his time at the manner and relies on Bruce as a father figure he loves Henry obviously but let’s be honest Henry is not stable enough to be a dad to Michael

Now in one version of this au! Tim! (They’re still best friends in the other version obviously)

Their boyfriends. the end. Moving on.

Okay I'm joking

Their boyfriends and They're dating Bernard.

Tim realized he was queer a lot earlier than canon because of Michael. they met when he was Robin in a very similar manner to him and Steph (this is where the sexuality crisis begins) various vigilante shenanigans later Tim realizes he feels the same way about Michael that he does Steph has his crisis and realizations then keeps it inside and buries it deep (not because of internalized homophobia because he has a girlfriend)

And then realizes he also has a massive crush on Bernard his totally Straight Friend who would definitely never feel the same and already has a “crush” on Darla (meanwhile Bernard ❤️👄❤️)

Then BAM! Bruce had Michael enrolled at his school without telling him (this is during the Robin!Steph era which I think lasts longer in this au?) and obviously Michael joins the friend group (fuck canon Bernard doesn’t have a car in this au) and becomes the designated driver he takes them everywhere but the arcade and they don’t actually start dating until post Red Robin (2009) but there was definitely tension

Also Michael definitely convinced Tim to go back to school post Red Robin (probably by going “sigh I wish I could go back to school” “sigh I miss driving you and Bernard around after school” “sigh- And so on)

I’m basically writing fanfiction at this point I think it’s time to stop for now. I’ll come back to this post eventually.

I think. I hope.

I know Black History Month starts next week so I kinda have a few reminders n tips.

Even after Feb, please continue to support and uplift Black writers on this site and people outside of this site.

As I’m sure you’re aware being Black and in fandoms is difficult to say the least with constant berating of our race/skin, the struggle to read fics we see ourselves in etc along with the community label bullshit occurring throughout this site.

On the first of Feb I’m going to try to do a “your w black writer, promote yourself by reblogging” thing so hopefully visibility can be seen for us.

REAL PEOPLE CANNOT QUEERBAIT AND WE CANNOT GATEKEEP THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY BY ONLY ALLOWING PEOPLE WHO OPENLY IDENTIFY AS QUEER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COMMUNITY OR EVEN SHOW INHERENTLY QUEER QUALITIES AND ACTIONS IT BY PRINCIPLE FORCES PEOPLE TO COME OUT FIRST. BY LETTING EVERYONE AND ANYONE PARTICIPATE WE ARE ALLOWING OTHERS TO SAFELY AND AT THEIR OWN PACE EXPLORE THEIR GENDER AND/OR SEXUALITY IN A HEALTHY WAY IF YOU SUPPORT THE IDEA THAT REAL PEOPLE CAN QUEERBAIT YOU ARE SUPPORTING THE IDEA THAT BEING QUEER PUBLICLY IS ONLY ALLOWED ONCE YOU COME OUT AND THAT IS EXTREMELY QUEERPHOBIC AND CAN PERPETUATE INTERNALIZED QUEERPHOBIA
