The earnestness in Brennan's tone as he offers up another boon of K2's divine intervention. The fact that he's willing to let British Kristen come back. I'm stunlocked. I know the fight is about to get so real, but I cannot fathom the depths of generosity it must take to go home after "Blimey. I don't think you heard me, Blimey." and wake up the next day with peace and warmth in your heart.

DP x DC Prompt #25

Hobson wasn’t the Fenton’s butler for long, but he was their butler long enough to become … concerned. Specifically, for a certain black-haired teenager.

However, he didn't know the best way to go about stepping in on this situation. So, instead he calls a friend. Surely Alfred will know what to do.

Its a well known fact that i think about American Cowboy Ninja Kinji Takigawa once a day. What is not as well known is that i think about Yakumo(‘s lawnmower) about twice that amount.

Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.

Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now

Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.

Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!

Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.

Bit of a mindfuck to see USAmerican conservatives supporting Israel. How do they square that with their antisemitic tinhattery and general abiding hatred of Jews? Do they slap an Israeli sticker with the Star of David on their pickup before or after going and vandalizing a synagogue?

Guess when we said "do not equate the Jewish people with the state of Israel" they went "Hell yeah! Fuck Jews! Stand with Israel!" 💀

Edit: I stand corrected. And informed. What the fuck.

i'm extremely curious on your headcanons on the black family. like their ethnicity, traditions, dynamics or whatever you want really. personally i feel they're the family with the greatest canonical depiction of the cycle of abuse and how regardless of wealth and privilege things like trauma can still rip a house/people apart.

if i got into them i feel like i would never be able to stop talking, and my characterisation of the black family is majorly different from what other people see them like but i will tell you a bit about them.

as for traditions, i believe they have holiday dinners (i consider them to be orthodox), two of them; on christmas eve, they celebrate with the entire pureblooded society. the diners are always hosted by the black house and they have dances, recitals, food and it’s incredibly formal; people come dressed in dress robes, suits and dresses and they discuss politics and beliefs about the society. on the christmas day, they have a family dinner, which is about the same as the one with the high-class society, but they have their own rituals (lighting up candles and remembering their heritage). at the birth of daughters, they drink white wine (to symbolise the purity that the birth of a girl brings), whereas when a son is born, they drink red wine (violence; spillage of blood).

i think that the most complex and compelling dynamic, for me, is the one between sirius and walburga. sirius sees himself in her; the same determination, fury and intelligence; they even look the same. he pities her, as a person; as a son, he despises her, for not trying more, for not trying harder. she loves him, she so obviously does; in her own, twisted way. she’s proud of him; he would make a great heir. she sees him as both a son and the object of her womb, the pig for slaughter; the heir. she is not her mother, but a stranger he never knew. her last act before succumbing to death was burning him off the tapestry; she hoped he’d come back. he never did.

between him and orion, the dynamic is simpler; they despise each other. sirius is too brash, too opinionated for orion (who was another victim of the cycle, of his own father), much like his mother, walburga, and sirius believes of his father to have been too distant and cold to ever be able to have a relationship with each other, of any kind, let alone the one between a father and a son. he hates orion; there is nothing but bitterness.

sirius and regulus are also complicated; here’s a post that describes their dynamic.

the traitors, the ones who escaped, they pity the ones who stayed. the ones who stayed, a handful of them hate those who left for leaving; the others, resent them for leaving their family, their legacy, behind.

actually the more I listen and compare the more I think that a better way to describe the difference between the british masc rook voice and the american one overall is that the british sounds like a very real person who is being genuinely fierce and determined despite the fact that they are scared and understand the gravity of the situation. and the american one sounds like they might really be deeply fucking nuts enough that when the chips are down they are not even really afraid they're busy being a creature of pure 'go go go!!' fjdsklfjsa. when they really hit their stride they become less a person, more some divine instrument being used for the wildest improvised guitar solo you could ever imagine (and desperately trying to keep up with themselves as the rock ballad of inspiration sure is Happening To Them So Much). BIG moist von lipwig vibes, for those in the fandom overlap

I'm forever astounded at all the Gallifrey/time lord society stanning that goes on in fandom? It's the monkey paw!!!! Read the small print!!!

So much of dw's canon will Entirely pass people by, literally spanning from the earlier years of classic who to the present day, if you can't identify that Gallifreyen society is rotten to the core.

The Doctor couldn't be the hero if they continued to sully themselves in a brutal empire's name.

(it's the british empire. but space. british empire bad. very bad. come on.)

catwin meet-cute except its a 'ghost boys but not detectives!' AU where charles and edwin ended up inexplicably working in (read: using the materials of) a craft store to try and bring some more artistic joy to their lives-after-death (sparked by a recently met Crystal telling them they need to be more rounded and no, edwin, spending your entire afterlife in a library wont solve the problem of you being completely ignorant towards every art and creative subject there is beyond literature).

edwin and his thick knitting needles and soft, cozy balls of yarn, bundled up near the window in a scarf and a thick wollen jumper, attracts the attention of a sleepy cat king, drowsy after a day of negotiating territories with a neighbouring cat ruler. surely the pretty boy with a soft bed of yarn on his lap wouldnt object to a feline friend taking a nap with him in the calm atmosphere hes created?
