#omg now they're talking about their partners' family drama

[lerr-writes-fic]

the struggle between putting on headphones while writing in a coffee shop or eavesdropping on the table next to me as they discuss their living/relationship/astrology/yoga problems.

[celestial-sapphicss]

i have finally finished my only 12% and if you saw me curled up crying on the floor no you didn't. some of the choices made in the show were so absolutely phenomenal i just have to talk about them (no matter how incoherent i may be)

i loved that the storytelling wasn't rushed. like desis like to say, itmenaan se batao, tell it with patience! it's very easy to make the show dragged out, especially when it's a slowburn romance, but i was still at the edge of my seat all the time! (except maybe last 2 eps but that says more about me than the show lol, if i start to rant about the father I'll never really stop)

in continuation of the above point, the choice to let the scenes linger a little bit longer after the plot point/conversation was over was so good! for example, literally every scene with the friends doing their basic kids nonsense! (bestest friend groups really <3)

that terrifying Eminem poster that gave me a jump scare everytime it was in shot ☠️ also the fleabag poster for some reason, in a show set in late 2000s/early 2010s!!! (i.e. make a show so good that even bizzare mistakes seem negligible)

speaking of the show's setting, oh such a core memory to see MSN, the flip phones, skype, that box windows computer, adding relationship statuses on Facebook, peak 2012. (im a sucker for nostalgia!)

i don't think i have to talk about how beautifully written CakeEiw's friendship was! them cuddling to sleep and Cake just spreading his arms for 'HUG! 😁', yeah. adorable

Eiw's discovery of his sexuality (with Love of Siam) and Hom being so supportive of him! im so glad Eiw had such a supportive family and friends! no matter how much of an 'other' Eiw felt like, no one near & dear to him let him feel like that and its SO important (snickering at the fact that Earth is older than Prem).

the entire America plot, omg, bawling. who hasn't had that friend who moved away, or who hasn't been the one to move away at some point? it was so well done, and all the scenes between CakeEiw post Cake telling Eiw that he's moving had such a bittersweetness to it, especially on the last day when they're promising each other sweet nothings! (kudos to the actors!)

Eiw saying that he's sad that he discovered his love for Cake but now he has to move away? KNIFE IN MY HEART! Eiw sniff kissing Cake and Cake coming back from the car to hug Eiw even tighter? NO PAIN

the letter/email style story telling in ep9 🤌 i love that they didn't go for the "they grew apart in the 3 years" or "one of them isn't replying" etc etc tropes because not only i don't like them but also it would be so out of character for them! and correct use of emerging tech!

love the confidence and the glow up for Eiw! he joined so many activities, making new friends, becoming part of the drama club, dresses like a fkn model, also got his hair dyed, GOOD FOR HIM

Cake in Blonde™! Him immediately begging his mum to let him see Eiw after getting back (in the middle of the night!). him crying and wiping his tears when Eiw hugged him at the bus stop. he's everything to me. Eiw repeating Cake's name on repeat and asking him to always respond? 😭

the enitre subplot of Pu & Tal wanting to be with Eiw was so funny to me skskskskks because have they seen CakeEiw together? one could be with their partners but would still feel like a third wheel in front of them. (and that's BEOFRE they officially got together) INSUFFERABLE

oh the post-show CakeEiw fight, & Eiw saying "Have you ever had to be the one who waits?" holt saying PAIN.gif. that entire confrontation/confession was so intense that i understand the choice to spread it out in between two episodes. and finally Cake saying "then i will be gay with you" had me laughing in the middle of all these tears he's such a best boy i love him dearly. (i was lowkey scared of the 'im not gay i just like you' making a comeback lol)

CakeEiw's relationship being written just as good (if not better) than their friendship!!!! the scene with "i love everything about you"? crying screaming shaking. Cake being basically a puppy? love that for Eiw

in conclusion, CakeEiw best boys and i miss them dearly and i want them back already

Roman Becomes a Dad (DarkSides Family AU)

Okay, but imagine Roman becoming a dad?? He loves kids and already loves Virgil so much, and he lives alone so it's kind of lonely anyway (even with Liv there). He's seen his twin and friends (Janus and Logan) become parents in some way and he kinda wants that too. Yeah, he wants a partner someday, but kids? Yus, he wants a kid. He now has kid fever, thanks to Virgil.

quick trigger/content warning: mention of & discussion of past child neglect, mention of family death & a car crash, Autophobia, eating disorder mention, mention of nightmares/night terrors

Anyway, imagine with me:

Roman decides he wants a kid, but he also worries how he'll juggle that and be an actor

Like, he loves his job and enjoys it, but he also really wants his own kid to love, so now he's very conflicted

How can he have both?

maybe he can do less plays and musicals, focus more on playwrighting as a remote job or something (his sibling is literally a remote writer as a job and makes good money, so maybe he can do something like that??)

plus, he already has enough savings to afford working less for a while if needed

and he's wealthy, so he can certainly afford all those expenses kids need if he were to adopt one

he decides that he just really wants a kid, preferably an older kid like Virgil cause he wouldn't be able to give all the attention very little kids or babies need (so yeah, he wants a preteen/teen kid to call his own and give a safe life to)

so he goes to a local orphanage/foster care thingy in town, and talks to some of the matrons there about the kids

They mention how a lot of the kids there are younger, but there is a teen there but he's like 17 and about to be a senior so they don't know if it's a good idea to adopt him/foster him

Roman is like "and?? let me see this kid, he sounds pretty cool."

so a matron, named Jennifer (called Jenny by the kids) shows him to the room where all the kids hang out

He sees the teen, wearing sunglasses indoors (odd but okay) and a leather jacket, sipping an iced coffee from Starbucks in like a corner or something

the kids see Roman and all try to remain calm but they're kids, c'mon they're gonna be excited

the teen in the corner is currently talking with a few of the little kids as they draw little doodles on the same piece of paper

Jennifer calls the teen over (his name is Remy) and he looks over at where she is and sees Roman and just kinda stares for a sec before shouting back a "in a sec, babes!" and says a brief 'cya later' to the little artists on the floor and comes over to the two adults

Remy gives Roman a once-over and hums like this guy seems interesting (in a Remy/judgey way cause Remy is a lil drama queen)

Jennifer introduces Roman and Remy gets this little spark of disappointment behind those sunglasses when she mentions he's looking to adopt/foster a kid

Remy doesn't think of himself as a kid cause he's 17 and will be an adult in about a year anyway, so he immediately discredits himself and rules himself out of the chance to finally have a family

and Roman notices the slight slum in the kid's shoulders and this sad aura around him, so Roman clarifies/comments "yeah, I was hoping to find an older kid, actually. I mean, I do work on projects and it would be cool to have someone who can help cook once in a while."

and of course, that gives Remy this little glimmer of hope that maybe he DOES have a chance

Roman holds in a smile at that hopefulness he sees in Remy, instead settling with a kind smirk and says "I don't see anyone but you who's old enough, honestly. I mean, if you'd like to come with me. You don't have to, of course."

and Remy's eyes just light up so bright because omg is he getting adopted/fostered? omg, omg; he practically freaks out and is so excited, but he forces himself to chill out cause what if Roman ends up being mean or ignores him or is just looking for someone to pity?

Roman sees Remy's hesitation and how he keeps his guard up, though he's not sure why

Remy lets out a small "really, you want me?" (a moment of softness and vulnerability that Roman will learn is actually rare when it come to Remy, until it isn't)

Roman just smiles and nods, and he'll never forget the utter joy on Remy's face because omg he's getting a family, he's waited for so long, finally, he thought he'd die before that happened

"Go pack, Remy." Jennifer says and Remy stands for a sec in disbelief before bolting, excited to get his stuff

Roman feels so elated to see this kid excited, it was clearly the perfect choice to come here

As Remy hurriedly packs his stuff into a smallish bag (he doesn't have a lot since money is tight), Roman and Jennifer go to an office so she can go over Remy's file with him

Jennifer gets this serious look on her face as they discuss Remy's needs

"He faced a lot of neglect as a kid, before he came here, so he may be very needy with attention." Jennifer mentions and Roman nods along, understanding (he can certainly give Remy all the attention he needs, he was going to switch to working remotely at home anyway)

Jennifer hands Roman the kid's case file as she keeps talking, "He doesn't sleep very well, either. Because of that, he has narcolepsy. Sometimes he'll just pass out asleep in the middle of the day, so be mindful of that."

Roman glances over everything in the boy's file, seeing how his parents were very neglectful to this poor kid; how they died in a car crash and only Remy survived (he was 9, Jesus), how he's terrified of being alone at all, how he tended to be clingy with anyone he trusted, how his eyes were very light-sensitive so he had to wear sunglasses literally everywhere

and of course, he saw the note of how Remy couldn't sleep because he got frequent nightmares/night terrors and had a 'mild' case of ptsd

all of it made Roman's heart sink because no kid should have to go through all that, especially someone who was so excited and seemed so kind and like a good kid

oh, but then Roman saw the note of Remy having an eating disorder and that just shattered his heart

Jennifer saw the look on Roman's face and guessed what part he was probably reading, "Because of how bad he was neglected, Remy has a hard time eating a lot."

Roman nodded, making a note to call up Logan and research how to best help with eating disorders so he could help Remy

"Keep that. We have a spare copy, in case he comes back." Jennifer states, quietly muttering the very last part

it makes Roman suddenly wonder if Remy's been sent back before, the way Jennifer's tone gets sad and almost nostalgic

the two adults do/finish off any paperwork necessary

Random Side Note: Remy has been at there since he was 9 (off and on) during Jennifer's third year working there, so they know each pretty well and Jennifer is Remy's fav matron

then Remy comes into the office, with just one bag over his shoulder, trying to remain as calm and cool as he can

Jennifer smiles at Remy, knowing this is best but that she'll still miss him

"Are you ready to go, Remy?" she says

"Yeah babes, whenever." Remy attempts playing it smooth but he can't help the excitement in his voice (god, he really hopes this one is different and won't send him back)

"Well, since the paperwork is all done, there's nothing left but to say goodbye." Jennifer says

"I don't know if it's a complete goodbye, though, Jenny." Remy reminds her, a few thoughts of doubt that he'd get to stay

"Well, we'll see about that. I think, if you were comfortable with it, you'd stay a lot longer than you think." Roman says, and doesn't miss the small look of surprise from Remy

God, Roman already loved this kid and he hardly knew him; he just wanted to give him a giant f*cking hug and keep him safe and protect him

Anyway, Jennifer and Remy say goodbye, and Remy leaves with Roman, taking one last look at where he'd spent most of his life, before getting in Roman's admittedly very fancy car

so yeah, that's how Remy gets adopted/fostered n stuff

Side Note: Remy has a peanut allergy (so does Virgil but it's more severe for Remy)

yus just imagine them being a lot bigger with touch then the DarkSides Family is

Like physical touch is very important and big, and so is quality time

Physical touch like: big hugs, many cuddle sessions and movie nights, etc.

more on the physical touch: holding hands, touching shoulders, just straight up clinging to Roman bc Remy hates not being near him (especially as he trusts him more and more)

okay and, Remy also needing to be close to Roman in some way because of a more severe separation anxiety and fear of being left alone (Autophobia)

Remy gets nervous showing a lot of physical affection outside of the house, so he usually refrains from doing so, now matter how much he needs it, UNLESS something is wrong or he's very upset

like generally, both Roman and Remy are very touchy and love hugs n sh*t

Quality Time: literally lots of movies and muscials and just chillling with each other, sometimes they'll do their own thing but as long as they're near each other and in the same room, Remy may hover a little bit when Roman is cooking dinner, or Roman will work on his latest script while keeping close to his son

both are also total drama queens, so they'll gossip together and Remy will spill the tea about his school's latest drama and Roman always engages with him

when Remy has nightmares/night terrors that are particularly bad, he goes very silent (unlike he usually is) and thus alerts Roman that something is upsetting him

cause yeah, both Roman and Remy are very loud and social people

like Remy is very social at school but has a few close friends (some of which are named Thomas and Joan and Talyn, and this kid named Elliot, and this kid who went by Orange for some reason [Remy called him 'Ori' as a nickname])

so yeah, when Remy is quiet and not talking a lot, Roman knows something is up and will do anything to help him feel better and feel safe

yus, and because of Remy's massive insomnia, there's midnight Starbucks coffee runs (all the baristas know Remy by sunglasses and first name alone, since he goes there so often, like there's friendly banter between him and the baristas, especially the nightshifts)

Remy has a dream of being a singer/in a band someday and he loves music

when Roman finds that out, he definitely is like "hey, you wanna help me with this song in my latest musical I'm writing the script for?" and Remy always says "hell yus"

and yeah, Remy tends to keep a cool exterior, and he is genuinely like that, but sometimes it's a front and Roman learns how to tell the difference

Roman learns how to help Remy with his eating disorder (thanks to Logan's vast knowledge of many different subjects and Janus' expertise in mental health-related things), and Remy slowly recovers

there are times when he relapses, usually after a very triggering/bad day BUT Roman is always there to support him and help him through it and reminds him that relapses happen and it's okay, there's always tomorrow, just breathe, I'll be there with you the whole way

midnight cuddle sessions and show-binge/movie marathon nights when Remy has bad nightmares/night terrors or flashbacks

Remy has never seen Disney, so Roman shows him literally ALL of it, all the movies and the actually good shows and tells him how the older ones are better and the older animation is supreme ("it's a fact of life, Remy. it's just better, no argument.")

they're both so f*cking extra and they just fit well as dad and son

omg the first time Remy calls Roman 'dad'? yeah, Roman practically combusted and cried, it was so precious

Roman giving Remy sleep-related and coffee-related nicknames JUST YUS (Sleeping-Beauty, Coffee Bean, Sleeping Prince, my dearest/my dearest toffee, Toffee Bean, etc.)

JUST UGH, ROMAN GIVING HIS SON CUTE NICKNAMES, OKAY? I AM FERAL, LEAVE ME BE

yeah, just Remy getting all the love and attention he needs and just being loved and actually getting to be a kid for once

imagine Remy and Virgil meeting for the first time? they're cousins and kinda click right away and turn into besties

Remy's narcolepsy pisses off teachers sometimes, and there's always that one Karen teacher who calls him a 'distraction', and Roman is always there to back him up cause he literally can't help it (he will throw hands for his son, and so will his sibling & their family, and his friend & his family; ALL THE LOVE FOR REMY)

okay but imagine when Remy comes out to Roman as aro? like he's very flirty with his friend, sure, but it's just how he is and that's how he shows his friends love, BUT he's never had a crush before and romance kinda grosses him out but like, only when he imagines himself having romo/being in love with someone like that, like fictional characters getting together is cute n sh*t (yus) but irl romance is just ew

but yeah, when he comes out as aro to Roman, he's very nervous and kinda shaky bc romo is the norm, and he's scared Roman won't love him anymore or that he'll send him back and that terrifies him

BUT of course Roman comforts his son and is very supportive and is like "that's okay, I'm so proud of you for telling me. That's very brave of you to do that, my dearest. I'm not leaving you over something like that, Toffee Bean." and Remy practically breaks down from relief and just a major dad-son bonding and love moment, and Roman just holding his son tight and Remy feeling so loved and safe

and yeah, just them two being dad and son, I LOVE IT

This AU has me in a chokehold. Expect a lot of content from it. I love these two, just aww.

I am feral for this AU-

[dez-wade]

Omg idk if you use Twitter but I needed to quickly rant and you also have an interesting perspective on the aspects of the fandom that people usually avoid talking about. So I went on Twitter and saw that someone had made a tweet about how people need to realise that hating on a cc (they were talking about BBH just didn’t name him) is pointless because they’re going to be with your faves on new years hanging out etc etc the tweet was whatever and as usual people were fighting in the comments and qrts as they do then suddenly Lore (Cellbits gf) decided to comment and now it’s an even bigger thing and she was talking about how everyone (in the fandom not the ccs) tries to make everything a big event and that the cc being spoken about in the tweet isn’t even going to be there because a lot of them are spending the holidays with their families etc and her response is not a bad take at all I understand what she’s saying but by replying the whole thing has become an even bigger argument. I need ccs and ccs adjacent people such as their partners to stop adding fuel to the fire by directly responding to tweets that don’t need to be replied to in these issues because now you’ve got one side being like “See she hates him too and he’s not even going to be there speak your truth queen yeah!!” And then the other side is like “wow imagine airing out the friendships between people online and she’s inviting hate towards him etc etc” and it’s just so ugh… what was the need for this to become a bigger issue. If the tweet was like directly talking shit about her or Cellbit I’d he like yeah ofc she replied why shouldn’t she? but this didn’t directly impact her at all?? And I’m not someone to hate on Lore I think she’s wonderful but this was just so unneeded and has now created an even bigger issue that was just between the fandom has now involved ccs/people related the ccs for no reason

I understand Lore's sentiment, but the twitter fandom is too annoying and it went completely over their head what she meant. Or rather, they just twisted it for their narratives.

I'm also someone who's not very keen on ccBad either after the Dream situation, but just because you think in a way, it doesn't mean everyone does. And I see a lot of people make up stuff about this situation, like the eggs admins hating him too (like Richas or Leo) so even though Lore is just a normal girl who dates a popular streamer, that's enough for most people to take her opinion and create a huge drama over it. So in my opinion, she should have avoided talking about this mostly for her own sake. Especially when it's just a very annoying, but small, part of the fandom discussing this drama. I know her intentions were different, but the fandom won't care. It's always been like this.

She tweeted about stopping people from treating their meetings as an event since they're just friends hanging out and people immediately did the opposite lol

Regardless I hope that's the type of drama that sticks on Twitter and doesn't affect anything else. They know way more than we do, they actually know and talk with each other, we're just watchers from afar we don't know anything about them as much people like to think they do. They're all adults capable of talking with each other and we should respect that instead of meddling about what friends they have or don't.

1745

What kind of movies are you drawn to?  Dramas and biopics. I used to like romantic comedies but they don't make them like they used to anymore.

What breakfast are you most likely to have?  I just have coffee; I never eat breakfast. On the rare chance that I do, I love going for toasted bread and scrambled eggs.

What career field could you see yourself in?  I would have pursued journalism if I just wasn't so conscious about money...but I like being able to afford the lifestyle I currently get to enjoy so into the corporate world I went. It's harsh to say, but meh it's real life.

What section do you drift toward at bookstores?  Non-fiction, history, autobiographies.

Do you like fried chicken?  This will horrify every Filipino ever but I'm honestly not so much a fried chicken fan :( The meat mostly tastes like nothing. When I get fried chicken I literally just peel off and eat the skin/breading, then offer the rest of the meat to someone who might want it. I also usually go for boneless whenever possible because I'm too impatient to go around all the bones and such.

Do you think your parents are proud of you and what you do with your life?  They say they are, so I guess. The way I've been understanding them as I get older is that as long as their kids look like they have their shit together, they won't meddle; and so far I've never heard a word from them except for that one phase when my mom was trying to convince me to partake in our Sunday mass almsgiving. OMG that was soooooooo annoying now that I remember lmao please don't tell me how to allocate my money.

Does anyone in your family smoke?  Not in my immediate family but I have a couple of uncles who do.

Do you enjoy classic rock?  Not really.

How do you discover new music?  Spotify. I'll give them credit – they're fantastic at curating playlists.

List three things that you love about your favorite season.  I don't have a favorite season because we have only one out of the four seasons that the other countries talk about.

Zombies or unicorns?  Uh unicorns I guess?

What are three of the most disgusting foods, in your opinion?  Beans on toast, sausages, and pickles.

Have you ever had a migraine?  Yes, they are awful and put me in such a miserable mood.

What’s one medication that you take every day?  There isn't any.

Who was your third grade teacher?  Her name was Adette. We were also her last class before she migrated to somewhere in the Middle East. Oman, I think?

What’s the weather like today where you live?  It was miserably humid, which sucked because I was outside for like 5 hours straight for an event and had a few moments where I was genuinely scared I would pass out from the heat. Luckily the event planner I was with offered water bottles, which I gladly took. Then it rained very hard that afternoon so everything made sense LOL but fortunately I was already indoors at a café when it started pouring.

What is one thing you like that a lot of people don’t?  Wrestling. It was cool in the 1990s-2000s then quickly turned cheesy and cringey (apparently), but I never left.

What is one thing that everyone else seems to like that you don’t?  Taylor Swift. I find the songs so whiney, plus I can't relate to most of the lyrics anyway.

When was the last time you went swimming?  December I think, when I was last at the beach.

Do you have other identities/words you relate to/associate with but don't necessarily identify as?  Christian/Catholic. I am in the legal sense, but I ditched religion a very long time ago.

How do you want to be perceived as, aesthetically/socially? (i.e dainty, mature, strong, child-like, ethereal, etc.)  Just 'kind' is enough. 'Professional' is also praise I'd gladly accept.

Does your partner share your orientation? (Do they identify the same as you?)  I don't have a partner.

When was the last time you experienced a pleasant surprise?  I met Trina's replacement yesterday and she was sharing all about her past work experience only for me to learn that she used to handle the slew of WWE Manila shows that took place in the 2000s. We got in a brief back-and-forth about that cos I got curious hehe and apparently her involvement goes way back to the days of Mick Foley. It was so awesome to hear.

When was the last time you were in any amount of pain?  Tuesday was unbearable. My entire body was sore and it was the kind of strain that Katinko couldn't fix. There wasn't any one comfortable position I could've put myself in, and there was no other option but to sleep it off just so I'd stop feeling everything at once.

What’s the longest you’ve ever stayed inside? How about outside?  Inside? Fucking pandemic is knocking at the door haha. What was it...7 months maybe? It was May 2020 when I had to go to the hospital for a UTI; then the next time I got to go out was in December that year when I got invited to visit the office for the first time.

Outside, I think a week. That's how long we spent in Bali.

Who was the last person to hug you? Do you hug this person often?  Celeste. Yeah, relatively often as far as workmates. She's a clingier one, which I don't mind as I find her very sweet.

What was the last show you watched? Have you seen it before, or is it something you’re watching for the first time?  Does Run BTS count? Yes, I rewatch episodes all the time.

Do you enjoy Jim Carrey movies?  Not in particular but I have enjoyed the ones I've seen.

Do you remember what the last kind of gum was that you had?  I never get gum.

Do you enjoy watching shows about survival? Why/why not?  Nah, not my vibe.

Do you have any nicknames for your significant other?  No partner.

Have you ever set up your best friend with someone?  Nope.

What’s the worst car accident you or a friend has ever gotten into?  I can't remember the specifics anymore but one of my cousins got into a really rough accident with a huge truck on Christmas week a few years ago, and the entire back of her car got totaled. She spent a few weeks with some sort of assistance – I just can't remember if it had been a brace, cast, crutches, etc...but it got that bad, in any case.

Has one of your exes ever been the cause of a breakup between you and a boyfriend?  I've never been in that complicated of a situation.

What’s something that has made you realize just how much you care and love someone else?  I accepted them for everything that they were. Their hobbies and interests were pretty unconventional for people our age at the time, so it was always hard for them to even talk about those things out loud, but I always spurred them to share so that I could listen.

They also had their own internal problems, like hating the way they looked and judging their tendencies, but it had always been the easiest thing in the world for me to work around those issues with them. In those days I realized I never would've been as attentive to anyone else regarding these things, so that's when it dawned on me that I'd go ridiculous lengths for this person.

What was the name of the last pet of yours that died?  Kimi.

What’s the longest you’ve gone without talking to someone when you were mad?  14 years and counting.

How long does it take you to normally take a shower?  Anywhere between 9-15 minutes.

Have you ever burned incense before?  No it reminds me of church.

Ever been on a picnic?  Between the possibility of my possessions getting snatched and the horrible weather, you'd never see me wanting to have a picnic in the Philippines.

Do you live with your parents?  Yes.

What do you call them?  Mommy and daddy. Sometimes I'd call him dad. That's a funny thing about Filipino language/culure nuances – mom feels completely western (you'll never! hear anyone using that haha), but dad is largely normal hahha.

Do you know one of your best friend's major secrets?  Sure.

Describe their personality in 3 words:  Angela is thoughtful, creative, and selfless. Andi is intelligent, proactive, and passionate.

Are you weary of displaying signs of affection for your significant other around adults? Why or why not?  I used to be flashy with PDA (nothing gross, but still) but then again I was in college. I imagine it would be drastically different these days.

Have you ever had red velvet cake or carrot cake? Have you ever made either of those?  I LOVE red velvet anything. Yes, I used to make red velvet cupcakes with friends. Carrot cake/cupcakes are just nasty for me.

If you could see any band/musician in concert, dead or alive, who would you see?  BTS.

Are the members of your favorite band still alive?  Yes, all of them are still alive. They've had lineup changes but as far as living, they all are hahaha.

Who is your favorite rapper?  BTS' rap line :)

Favorite country singer/band?  None of them.

Favorite female solo vocalist?  Beyoncé and Adele.

Favorite male solo vocalist?  Hozier, but tbh I haven't listened to anything of his in a while.

Favorite female-headed band?  Paramore.

Favorite male-headed band?  Not sure if there's any.

Who was your favorite musician when you were a kid? Beyoncé.

If you had to get a tattoo based off of a movie, what would you get?  Off the top of my head, probably the Vespa from Roman Holiday.

What book series do you like?  Idk if I've been as hooked to any series as much as I've been with Twilight, lmao.

Name one biography you’ve read?  I want to say BTS, because at the end of the day they didn't write the book they put out. I really thought that was going to be the case haha but I guess that was just me putting sky-high expectations on the boys to be writers.

Do you have any reading disabilities?  Nope.

Who are your favorite artists?  Monet.

What is your favorite period of art?  Impressionist.

Do you prefer classic art or modern art better?  Modern. The more provocative, the more I enjoy.

Do you have any art or prints of famous artworks on your walls?  No.

If you are good, or were good, what kind of things do you/do you think you would paint?  My work would probably be filled with social commentaries. I'd love to piss the government off, especially given our current president.

Do you consider architecture an art?  Yes, in a way. Architecture can be so many things and that's what I love about it.

Are you good at photography?  Nah.

Do you know anyone who has ODed or died while high?  Nope.

Is weed really the gateway drug?  No idea.

Who are your closest friends right now?  Angela, Hans, Andi, Reena, Jo.

Have you ever become legit friends with someone you met at work? Yes, Kata and I have been able to keep in touch.

[cineflections]

Long post incoming

Some thoughts I had while watching ep4 of the Uncanny Counter season 1 (in a bulleted list):

• Man I've heard stories on how brutal bullies are in Korea, while I guess this particular "ganging up on 1 guy" isn't exclusive to Korea, the prevalence of bullying in kdramas is quite abundant.

• Cool fight sequence, all in first person. Could it perhaps be meant to indicate Wi-Gen's lack of control and seeing things from his perspective? It's cool, but is that all there is? I mean, is it there to just be a cool and unusual sequence, or is it symbolism? I remember that old Doom movie has a similar sequence, but that was to mimic and give homage to the video game it adapted. If it was to showcase Mun's rage, I kinda fail to see it. Yes, it is a brutal beat-up, but there's not enough visually showing it in the cinematography. There's a blur effect, but maybe they should've made it more pronounced like a tunnel vision or made him see red (literally)?

• And like I suspected, So Mun's power is to create a "territory". Just what was needed, seeing that his predecessor died because it disappeared.

• Of course, the rich parents come in and will not accept that their children should be punished. As if they're literally a "better man" than their "poor" peers. And Sugar Daddy comes to save the day again!

• "I bet you don't have a trillion won in your bank!

• Justice for all victims of bullies!

• That bully, the mayor's son, will definitely become possessed by a wandering soul. Or maaaaybe he will get powers from like a counter-like group but evil? He has too much screen-time by now that he will for sure play a bigger role as our boy's rival.

• The police are corrupt, the mayor and possibly others are corrupt. We do get the good cop woman, who faces obstacles at every turn.

• The plot regarding Mo-Tak's (attempted) murder and So Mun's parents' death is intriguing, and they were definitely involved with something. But what could that be? Has it to do with the counters? Or is it a plot separate from the main plot (although, since it's currently the only plot, I find that implausible)

• Hahah, Mo-Tak's face when finding out him and the girl cop were together once.

• "I can't lose the counter job. Wi-Gen promised I'd meet my parents if I did good as a counter" - boy, 🤦‍♀️ you violated one of their rules, that "if" is no longer in play..... you did not do good, lmao.

• Hahahah everyone just fainting by transferring to the other side. But man, Chu Mae Ok mvp: "Don't mess with my baby!" Paraphrasing, but YES!

• Hahaha, Mo-Tak doing a superhero landing on their table 🤣 😂

• I'm pretty sure Wi-Gen has already decided. She's just keeping her mouth shut for dramatic effect. She's probably dying inside from all the drama around her.

• Like why is that lady there. Why is she so disagreeable? (Talking about Mo-Tak's afterlife partner)

• The afterlife group. Is that like a family? Grandma, and three grandchildren??

• Netflix should really fix the subtitles. Sometimes they are late to show up and then, they disappear in a flash to make room for the next sentence... if the show had been in Japanese I might have been able to understand some of what they're saying, but Korean is beyond me except for certain words, so I'm afraid I'm missing out on key info sometimes.

• Wait wait wait. Omg really. So the mayor or whoever is in a sauna? Looks like one. I was wondering why the fuck they still look so wet? Like even if you immediately get into it after a shower your skin dries in like a minute or two. But these guys are still dripping. (Pls excuse the literal screenshots)

• Lmao they really be doing sauna in 43 degrees Celsius?? You mofos are weak af. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. My parents have a sauna in their house, and we never use it under 75 degrees, and that is low by our standards. My dad goes up to 90 degrees at times!

• And they keep the door open and let all the warmth out!

• So the mayor is renting land from another rich old dude, who thinks they are hiding something illegal? He doesn't seem to be a good guy either since he probably has connections to the corrupt cops. That old man will for sure die by the mayor's hand.

• Wow that was quick. Getting a hitman?

• Oh wait, the "hitman" is the guy's son? Adopted? Guardian relationship? Cuz that relationship is one sided. Daddy issues galore.

• Wuuuuuuut??! Mae Ok's partner is her own son? Damn that's kinda sad. And who is the girl in his wedding picture? Should I know her? And he can't find deaths from 2013 and So Mun's parents. Maybe that means they aren't dead? But there's corruption even in the afterlife, it seems. Intriguing.

• Oh, So Mun got his father's number.

• So "hitman" is a hitman and got powers. Possibly level 3? But that's a bit weird. Maybe that soul will transfer to mayor's son? Or the mayor and his goonies have a deal with the corrupt part of the afterlife?

Well, I'll find out as I progress. But I don't have time to continue today!

libra risings /1H for sureee 🥰🥰🥰

Hey luv,

Since a lot of people has been asking for this and I realized I have not yet to post an air rising post yet, let's start off with one of my personal favourite rising signs, Libra Rising🌸

Libra Rising/ Venus in the first house

my full rising series can be found here

Venusians are stunners, let's be honest here it's not even something new to people. They can honestly have the most unconventional (air) beauty ever but generally, they're still so sooo attractive for some reason🥰

they look approachable. they simply do omg. lemme elaborate on this!! venus is already a very sociable planet and is loved universally. hence people can immediately like them upon the first meeting. if they don't have harsh aspects or other placements that cancel this out, they generally look extremely chill and laidback.

^ even the men with this placement can look so soooo easy going or they might know literally everyone. like trust me on this i'm surrounded by libra rising guys🥲

their partners are usually kinda um... lowkey aggressive? or their relationship/love life can be a bit chaotic than others🤣 they like this tho. they love it when people bring out their wilder sides (aries 7H)

omg i have to talk abt this!!! the straight men with libra rising(esp if they have aqua/leo placements) are SUPER PRIDEFUL!!!!! the type to like being on top in the bedroom to assert "dominance"💀💀 but if well aspected would be down to switch though.

the type to be sippin the tea HOT. but wouldn't necessarily get into drama because they're so "over it" because when they were younger, they may have been a bit dramatic and had so many beef with people LOLLL

family oriented people if well aspected (capricorn 4H) HOWEVER, if there are harsh aspects to their 4H ruler, very much likely to have grown up in a strict home, or home that are too hard on them and expect them to thrive "academically". when they were little they were taught social cues and manners pretty early on, were very much aware of why security and stability matter😌 they want to raise their children this way too, are actually pretty realistic people!

^ one or both parents/parental figure was very very VERYY conservative and may have tried to make them conform to these values. the type that tend to grow up faster in terms of social skills. libra risings hesitate to show their real emotions a lot!!!!!!! could be closer to one parent than the others, see this parents as their "ally".

i've noticed that libra risings women are highkey daddy's girls🥺 their mom may have tried to spoil them wayyyy too much but/and was also strict to them?? they hesitate to show a lot of emotions as they truly hate how their parents would use emotions to guilt trip them.

libra men can also be closer to their dad!! usually come to their dad/father figure for advices🖤

despite all of this, a part of them will always have their family back. the more water houses they have, the higher chance they're closer to their family.

yes. they are naturally charming. can you blame them tho? these individuals make connects like no others, would literally start talking to their uber for fun. they like harmony and learning more about people! they like discussing about deeper aspects of life too🤣 you wouldn't expect this from them though as sometimes venus energy can be seen as superficial HAHAH, but that sag 3H means they are so happy discussing philosophy, adventures, life experiences or even one's belief. libra risings make great conversationalist when they put in the effort!!!!

will sound like they don't really care sometimes though, give off the "unbothered" vibes but trust me. they do. they seem so careless with their words but they will almost never slip up. smarter than people think.

they're actually so criticizing sometimes. and they know this omg my libra rising friends learn to shut her mouth now because her dumbass slipped up once and told someone to "mop your floor" because she can "see dusts all over it and some muddy shoes prints"💀💀 like please shut up.

EXTRA JUDGMENTAL WHEN THEYRE DRUNK. will never tell you what they rly think unless they're close to you🤣(virgo 12H) their need to be liked is insane. softer aspects physically can't take it knowing someone hates them for no reason.

they don't notice how they actually love being of service to people they care. it's actually scary. i blame their virgo 12H this, literally don't realize how sacrificial they're being with their loved ones sometimes.

lowkey believe that "jealous is very flattering👍🏼😌"said this as a denial and coping mechanism HAHAHAHA

their relationship with their siblings are complicated LOL, but generally fairly giving and dedicated yet can be hella competitive at times??

suffers between their head and their heart all.the.time.💀 a part of them are sooo excited walking into the unknown but the other part hates this, control issues deep down (virgo 12H) so prone to let others use them tbh. please don't do yourself like that.

^ realistic & a dreamer. they dream BIG, but also are so scared of what the future have for them.

not aware of how they are actually people pleaser🦋 strong need to be liked. if you're benefiting them in some way they'd never forget it and would try to reciprocate you!! know how to get people to assist them.

ability to make people feel special, loved and important LMAO my boyfriend used to pull one if his classics on me while we were talking "i've never met someone like you before" "you're so different" LOLLLLL he thinks i'm that basic and stupid huh😃

warning: libra risings men + water/air influence= hoes. my bf also says i can say this so there you goes ladies. its out there.

women are honestly so hot they can play however they want:/ if they decided to have fun with you be appreciative😌 they're pretty picky dear and if you know you're not even all that, take a good look and see if you're benefiting them in some way HAHAHAHAHAHA

ok i'm sorry for wronging a lot of libra risings here. but what's with yall and obsessing over your physical health? libra risings = self care. they just clean themselves so well?? does that sound weird? mentally sick when they arent physicslly healthy too!! the type to have 14 skin care steps or intense beauty routine🤣

value youth and beauty. love loveeeee intense arts and arts that are complex than usual! ( scorpio 2H ) artistically gifted in some way! may inherited a lot of money fron their family if harmonious. other wise its simply extreme.

scorpio 2H discuss wealth gained by prior generations. it can also talk abt debt. very tiring connections with finance or managed their finance very well!! they might be very lowkey with their financial situation though, feel like they shouldn't open up too much about their finances!

obsessed with sex. sex = basic needs. (taurus 8H) thrives on sex too!! intense, soul deep sex can get them so so turned on.

otherwise may actually have the potential of making money off sex. can become hella wealthy off sex if they have more beneficial! (think people making 7k a week on onlyfans🥰)

goofy. sense of humour that feels so personal and will roast you pretty well once y'all are close!

they LOVE their friends omg. like they literally take pride in their friends. if you're dating a libra rising they'd make sure that you are good with their friends. if not they'd be lowkey sad:( Honestly if placed with even more fixed placements in their 11H, watch them donate their kidneys to their friends omg💀🥰 sees the best in their friends and their friendships are usually pretty public! are so picky though so maybe very sociable but have a tight cirlce. (leo 11H)

may follow a career thats popular in their family of consult their family when it comes to career wise issues!! (cancer 10H)! come to the parent that they're closer to for professional matters. a need to be rich so they can be a provider for their family🥺🥺🥺

these natives can be soooo interested in astrology though!!! may start off as a curiosity but if they have more 9H in their charts they would literally LOVE to learn more about spirituality!!! (gemini 9H) also, lowkey are hella superstitious😌 my bff is a virgo sun libra rising and she would go on and on on how she's an atheist and astrology doesn't make sense but would always write down everything i tell her in her notepads during mercury retrograde or some significant astrological events💀💀 so much for hating on us huh

so many interests! they can have a lot of hidden talents! know a lil bit of everything and could have been super active in school! they were those charming kids in debate clubs while juggling between student council or a sport team🤣 they love learning so much and once given freedom, they would honestly thrive✨

the type that would want to give their children EVERYTHING. they would want their children to be able to interact with the world on a deeper level. may teach their children the importance of free will, self discovery and individuality! will want their children to be socially active and charitable🖤( aquarius 5H )

"lets fuck and put no labels on it" this is what they'd most likely to say to their s/o but watch them end up dating a person for yearssssss if they met the right one😌 most likely to grow feelings for a friend w benefits, will either ghost them because they're terrified of deeper connection but the other part of them CRAVE commitment and would wanna eventually settle down! (unless they have bad aspects to 5H and 7H rulers)

fun fact: have you met a couple with double libra risings? well i have and trust me, libra risings just gravitate towards one another its scary. they vibe so well around people who think like them and despite saying "yeah im open to anyone and anything" they're not. i'd know this💀💀

don't want to hurt your feelings if they think you're pleasant so will lie to protect you. i'm serious. you have to look at their eyes to tell if they're lying. notice their tone too HAHAH it's so obvious. my libra rising friends and s/o lying to calm my butthurt leo rising like "😃👍🏼 yes babe that looks fAbUlOuS on you" like shut upppp💀 yall think i'm blind huhhhh

okay but for real, if they want to, they could have get away with anything simply by manipulating. people oftentimes don't think they're capable of lying for some reason??? probably the venus energy covering their asses🥲

for a long term partner, they need a psycho that matches their level. they know their worth honey. but also need someone who understand their indecisive and FORGIVING nature. once they love you they put so much efforts into it. they want to enjoy the ride while it lasts! (aries 7H)

can't make a decision immediately. and they also shouldn't. give them time to process stuff. dont push for an answer they'll look physically uncomfortable 😀

not the type to start talking shits about people to others that they don't know well. like yeah they're wayyyy more opinionated than you know(and they like it that way) but they're not gonna sabotage their life&the harmony by telling you what they "truly think"💀 they don't trust you if they agree with everything you say, there i said it.

it's so funny but they're literally freaking geniuses when they're high(on weed) like come on💀 their productivity increase insanely when they're on something. watch them do a 10 pages of work in under an hour LOL

^ i think people don't discuss this enough. they get detached from ppl because they know they get addicted pretty fast, especially if you become a part of their lives. and they're pretty selective, so they don't allow themselves.

can detach like this ✨ literally a blink of an eye and you're gone💗 (only if they never cared deeply for you, if not, they'll always reach out randomly)

ohhh also, i know way too much libra risings who are stoners LMFAOOOO esp with pisces/cancer moon/taurus moon get help yall😐💀💀

libra rising+fixed venus are so fucking possesive lowkey. over their friends AND their lovers. my libra rising besties hated one another before they had the chance to meet because they were lowkey possesive over me🤩 just kidding but not really. my leo dom ass feel appreciated okay🌸

spectacular style. the women are so soooo charming they could pull off any aesthetic!! the men dress so well or always look very stylist. like it when you compliment their styles (take notes ladies) my s/o get such an ego boost when i compliment on his styles rather than his looks😐 trust me their cocky asses know they're hot. dont feed into their ego dear.

(surprisingly) emotional. yeah i know, its always the cold ones that feel the most. their flighty ass will be there for you and try to make jokes to cheer you up tho.

(surprisingly) low self esteem. especially when it comes to their partners or close circle. they feel as if they're not "physically good enough"? i know a lot of libra risings that tend to be very lost until they find their own styles.

have wayyyyyyyyy too much haters for their own sakes. when they were younger they could have been so much more aggressive and as they grow older they just got more relaxed. people may sometimes make random comments on their appearance and business? they're either loved or hated immediately by people.

"i dont care lol" they do. trust me. they do. if they didn't they would have blocked you wouldnt they? but they're still talking.

rational about others issues. impulsive with their own.

say HORRIBLE stuff when they're angry but never rly means it, they know how to damage your egos like no others.

good vibes only mentality✨🌸💗 they don't need any bad energy in their life!!

Soooo here are some very biased( and honest) as well as some details I've noticed from Libra rising natives hehehe. My Leo rising keeps attracting so much of them it's annoying at this point HAHAHA. just kidding but i love taurus/libra energy and my friend asked me not to expose them further so this post barely scratched the surface tbh🤭 I'm just saying, if you're trusted and confided in by a Libra rising, you're different.

love,

[stxleslyds]

you know how dc keeps forcing this sudden "we're a family" narrative out of nowhere? I'd love batfam content but years of hurt among them make the recent content seem unearned.

bc you know more about dick and jason than the others, how do you think they would realistically become family to each other, or would it even be in character for them to be the "bros" they're written as now?

Oh anon, this question is amazing, I love it! I saw it when I woke up and since then my brain has been brewing this answer, I was thinking about it as I brushed my teeth and as I was making breakfast, and now I am ready to give you the answer, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed thinking/writing about it!

DC keeps forcing the wrong relationships, and they keep forcing the wrong centre of this supposed family, they make it out to be the Bat-Family when in reality the Bat (Bruce) should have never been invited to this party.

This is why I give you the… Dick-Family!

Oh yeah baby, I am going there. Dick is the centre of this “family”, he is the guy who is actually connected with everyone, he has been around for so long and he has been present when almost all of the remaining characters were introduced! Bruce might have come first but that guy has nothing on Dick Grayson.

Dick has cared and loved for everyone in this family in a true and beautiful way, no matter how much fanon and DC try to tell us otherwise. This man was an amazing son to Bruce and Alfred (my love for Alfred and Dick is brought to you by @hood-ex), a fantastic brother to Jason, Tim and Cass as well as a phenomenal father/older brother to Damian.

Dick Grayson is the centre of this whole thing, and thanks to DC now being an Omniverse I will be able to explain my line of thoughts. But first let me clear some ideas up.

The way I see it Jason would only get along good enough with Dick. I am not here for Jason and Tim having brunch together (honestly, Lobdell, what were you thinking), Jason never cared for Tim, and then writers that didn’t know how the Red Hood worked made him try to kill Tim so, to me, that relationship is non-existent, Jason doesn’t really perceive Tim (yet).

Jason and Damian, listen, I know that there is this fanon theory that Jason knew and cared for Damian while he was in the League, but that is just fanon talk and it doesn’t really fit in canon either. Jason wasn’t really capable of doing much other than fight, and after he was put in the Lazarus Pit he either had to leave because Ra’s wanted to kill him or Talia took him to the All-Castle. So, Jason’s only real interactions with Damian would be when Jason was written as a crazy, blood thirsty dude that actually tried to harm a child. So, him and Damian wouldn’t really have a good relationship (yet).

Jason and Cass… that’s just a no. Jason and Barbara, I mean Barbara was older than Dick when she first met Jason, so they wouldn’t have much of a relationship.

Now, lets move on to how I will make the Dick-Family work.

Dick (bless him) actually talks and listens to people, unlike Bruce, so the change would start there. Let’s set the timeline, I will stand right after the events of Under the Red Hood. Bruce just chose saving Joker over letting Jason kill the Joker and the building they were in exploded.

Batman keeps on being himself (trash) and Jason, having survived the explosion, moves on to keep on building his empire. He really wants to control the drug trade in Gotham, so he works on that, he slowly but surely takes his place as a drug lord again and is a constant pain in Black Mask’s ass.

While Jason is doing that, Dick is trying to put together his life after Bludhaven was attacked with Chemo. Let’s say that Bludhaven isn’t completely erased from the map but he does have to leave so the city can be re-built. He goes to Gotham, where the Red Hood works.

Let’s say that Alfred told Dick who was under the Red Hood, so Dick being a good brother goes looking for Jason. Their first interaction out of the mask wouldn’t be nice, Jason barely remembers his life before the pit and he really is convinced that Dick is the absolute worst.

But then Jason being a nosy man would make an appearance, for some reason, let’s say that he hacks into the Batcave and when he does that he finds some footage… The footage in question would be the one which shows Bruce punching Dick and sort of blaming him for Jason’s death. (Oh yeah, I am going there). The footage will make a memory come to mind, Dick taking Jason on a skying trip.

So, the next time that Dick and Jason see each other is because Jason went looking for Dick and here is where these two actually talk. The way I see it, Dick is more flexible with the no killing rule, he has worked many times with people that are villains or that just have different ways of doing things. So, I think that he would understand where Jason’s coming from with his ideas. As they begin to understand one another Jason begins to recover more and more memories from before the Pit.

They get together once a week and they chat about life as well as vigilante stuff. They become friends.

At the same time Dick is also very good friends with Tim and also acts like the amazing big brother he is with him. They chat, they sometimes work together and one day they come across a very complicated situation involving a new drug being introduced in Gotham.

Dick would call Jason and now both of them and Tim are reunited in a safe house working together so this new drug doesn’t fall in the wrong hands. Jason and Tim wouldn’t really like each other. Both of them are there for Dick and because they have to get the job done.

That’s how I see Dick forming the Dick-Family unconsciously. Hell, I will introduce Barbara now. Do you guys remember that in UtRH Barbara was mad with Bruce and didn’t want to work with him but she was still in contact with Dick? Well, I am using that so it can fit my narrative.

Dick, Jason and Tim need more intel so Dick calls Oracle (real Oracle) and because Barbara trusts Dick she works with them.

Here is where it gets interesting, through Barbara, Dick meets Cass, through Tim he meets Stephanie. You see that Dick’s connections are leading him to form a group of people. Cass and Stephanie are trained by Babs and Dick and they become the new Batgirls.

As all of that keeps developing Jason and Dick become “partners in crime” they help each other, they start building a brotherly relationship again. Although Jason refuses to say that out loud.

Then comes in Damian, a difficult child if there has ever been one but he has Bruce so Dick doesn’t have to jump in that fast… right?

Oh brother! Bruce is dead (omg what would we do? Battle for the cowl maybe? No!). with Bruce gone there is only one person who can take his place and everyone knows it has to be Dick.

Dick would feel a lot of things as he is taking Bruce’s place as Batman but he has a group of people ready to back him up (Alfred, Jason, Tim, Babs, Cass, Steph), and he also has to take care of Damian, he is a child and with his father gone then maybe his mother would want to take him back to the League of Assassins, Dick obviously doesn’t want that so he talks to Tim and tells him that he sees him as his equal and that he has a plan to make Damian stay and it involves making Damian his new Robin.

Tim would obviously be sad and a little hurt, but he understands Dick’s decision because they talked about it and Dick actually took the time to explain why he was doing what he was doing (really DC half of the problems you guys come up could be fixed in seconds if people would only take some time to just TALK!).

Dick and Damian work as Batman and Robin and Dick starts assuming the position of his father. They would live with Alfred in the penthouse and maybe Tim will join them from time to time (when he wasn’t busy with Young Justice/Teen Titans stuff). Slowly Dick and Damian will become the Dynamic Duo that we love today.

So, Dick would have his own Robin, Oracle (who is also managing her own team with Black Canary and (why not) the Batgirls), Red Robin and Red Hood working with him if he needs them. They are always a call away. Jason is the most difficult to reach and he will only involve himself in that kind of drama if its about controlling the drug trade or scaring the living shit out of some very shady people.

So, Red Hood wouldn’t be working with the new (and improved) Batman but Jason would hang out with Dick sometimes.

From there they build up. Dick renovates Arkham Asylum and makes it work they way that it is supposed to work. He might also recruit Catwoman when he needs someone really sneaky, they have known each other for so long, I bet Selina loves Dick, she would certainly help him out.

But as all things do, this happy and well-connected Dick-Family is disrupted when Bruce comes back, he inserts himself slowly back into his role as Batman and as he does that Dick starts to move away from it.

But Dick’s connections are strong and well cared for, so, even when he goes back to Bludhaven and starts fresh (again) as Nightwing those connections remain. Oracle still gives him intel, Robin and Red Robin come over to Bludhaven to patrol, maybe they even have their own rooms at Dick’s place.

With Bludhaven functioning again, all of the terrible people that were working there also come back, maybe some of them never left and they have been corrupting the city from its very core. So, when Jason tells Dick that he would like to expand his operations to Bludhaven, Dick says yes, as long as Jason keeps him updated on his work and also lets him know what is going on.

I think it works! What do you guys think so far?

From then on with the whole Dick-Family being connected and strong I think they can actually act and solve their problems as a family. All those arcs that didn’t work very well because Bruce was in the middle of it being a jerk, I think they will work if Dick is at the centre of it. Let’s say that Bruce hid the fact that Joker knows their identities and all that, with such a strong family the second that the Joker tries to manipulate Jason into believing that he created him, Dick will come out of the shadows and shut that bullshit down. If Joker tries to do something to the Circus, then the Birds of Prey and the Robins will be there in seconds helping Dick.

The Court of Owls, those little shits wouldn’t stand a chance against this team, this force of nature! Jason would be the one working from afar because you know my boy wouldn’t be subjected to the “no-killing” rule but if he does it, he has to do it away from the children (Damian) and away from Cass, if he doesn’t want to know real trouble. (He probably arranged those things with Dick a long time ago and he is happy with it).

Now, please forgive me but for angst reasons I will actually let the events of, Batman Incorporated #8, Forever Evil, Nightwing #30 and Spyral run its course.

Let me explain, after Damian’s death Dick holds the Dick-Family together, as well as Bruce because he is amazing like that, but then after Dick supposedly dies, things change just a little bit. Jason would retreat back to his own corner because the only thing attaching him to the Dick-Family was Dick but he would also keep his eyes open and he might also have a direct line with Oracle if things go south.

Aside from Jason, I do see the others working on keeping their connections intact. When Damian eventually returns the land of the living, I can see all of them coming together even more because that’s what Dick would have wanted.

And then Dick will come back from Spyral and here is where the Dick-Family will show the “Bat-Family” why its superior to it in every aspect possible.

The Dick-Family will notice that something must have happened, Dick would never play dead and leave them like that, but Dick loves Bruce and he doesn’t want to tell them the truth, Bruce has no memories now and his family doesn’t deserve that kind of drama BUT Jason and Tim are suspicious, they know Dick at this point and they trust him so they firmly believe that he is hiding something to protect someone. And here is where life repeats itself. Let’s review the Batcave’s footage, yes, I did it again, I just love the fact that Bruce has footage of himself being the absolute worst to his kids, how does DC not use it! Anyway, Tim and Jason find the footage from the events of Nightwing #30 and suddenly the Dick-Family have their “Dick defence squad” jackets on and they are ready to party.

After all that Bruce eventually gets his memories back and he is held accountable for his actions. Also, around this time the events of Robin War would have already happened so Duke is also introduced. Dick lets him join and all that, and then Duke and Cass become besties and they work together.

And yeah, as Rebirth comes closer the Dick-Family would be more united than ever.

The end.

That is how I would have done it. But this way is slow, and DC wouldn’t be able to monetize it as much as they would want.

Jason wouldn’t be giving hugs and calling everyone their brother or sister, he will only get along with Dick and he would be professional with everyone else.

Tim and Damian would get along but they wouldn’t go for ice cream together on a sunny day. Steph and Damian would and so would Cass and Tim or Cass and Duke.

Oracle would work with Dick and the others as a side thing because her main thing would be the Birds of Prey, this time with Helena too.

Alfred would spend his time with Bruce but he would also be very aware of Dick and his influence on everyone around them. Bruce eventually would be integrated to the Dick-Family because Dick is a sweetheart but Dick would also make Bruce follow his rules, Dick is a little bean but he is also the most badass person in the room (whichever room) so you better listen to what he has to say.

The Dick-Family would be something that grows silently and doesn’t need a “Joker War” in order for them to be there for each other, they would try their best each step of the way and they will talk things out when mistakes are made.

This is the way that I see this family dynamic working.

I would even go as far as to say that Talia can be part of the Dick-Family because she is connected to three people, Dick, Damian and Jason.

Dick is the person with most connections in the DC Universe, the Titans, the Justice League, Deathstroke, they all have connections to this treasure of a man. If he needs help in Gotham or Bludhaven then he can call people from the “first circle”, if things are beyond a “street level” threat them he can call the Titans and if shit really hits the fan, Clark and the others are a call away.

Anyway, this was unnecessarily long, I am sorry about it but I am also not because I really don’t know how to answer your question without going on a long rant.

In conclusion the Bat-Family doesn’t work and sadly it wouldn’t work no matter how much they force it. These people don’t have connections, Bruce is not able to make connections between people. And DC has erased entire relationships that Dick used to have. I mean, they got rid of Dick and Tim being close brothers just so they could give us a shitty brunch between Tim and Jason? Only yesterday we saw a true and beautiful interaction between Dick and Damian.

DC is handling the “Bat-Family” in all the worst possible ways. It just doesn’t work.

They should have used Dick all those years ago and they shouldn’t have destroyed Jason’s characterization with Lobdell’s ideas.

So, sadly, my dear anon, I don’t see the Bat-Family as a in character thing for any of these people as they are written currently, but I hope that you enjoyed my version of it. May the Dick-Family bring everyone who reads about it a little joy!

My top 10 relationships from Brooklyn Nine-Nine in random order:

CAREFUL: SPOILERS ALERT

Jake Peralta & Amy Santiago — that's an obvious one, I mean, who doesn't love Peraltiago? I personally adore how their relationship evolves from distracting childish rivalry to distracting childish courtship, finally to distracting childish marriage (and parenting!). Their chemistry is visible basically since pilot. They're always there for each other, taking one another's sides no matter what, they help each other grow. Not only are they lovers but also best friends and I think it's such an amazing thing. They care about each other and make each other feel good about the world and their place in it. Their relationship is not toxic nor abusive in any way, they embrace their best traits, not undermine them. They're so different but they don't try to change each other — they eventually do so but it's due to their loving relationship and it's change for the better. In summary: such a power couple.

Jake Peralta & Rosa Diaz — I guess what I love most in this relationship is that it doesn't evolve in ANY romantic direction. This is extremely rare in TV shows but GUESS WHAT, man-woman friendship exists y'all and these two are the perfect example of that. They trust each other, they're there for each other when they need it, I mean when Jake helped Rosa with her coming out or when Rosa was talking to him about Amy and always gave him advice, you can't tell me you didn't melt inside. I did. They're the best partners, Jake knows her badge number by heart and I BET Rosa knows his as well. They worry about each other but they know what the other is capable of and they can be proud of one another. They're best friends and they know each other extremely well (even if at first it appears Jake knows nothing about Rosa's life). Just, thousand push-ups.

Rosa Diaz & Amy Santiago — definitely Latina's power, they got each other's backs and they trust one another. They know they can tell each other everything, they work together well and they even have their own cool handshake ok. They know they can count on each other no matter what and they'll do anything for one another. Just a little reminder that Rosa said I love you to Amy, so it's gotta mean something. I don't know what else to say, they're just the best The Sleuth Sisters ever.

Jake Peralta & Gina Linetti — it's just so cute they're friends since primary school both on-screen and irl, it gives them such amazing chemistry. I personally love how Jake calls Gina 'man' and Gina calls Jake 'girl', a perfect summary of their relationship and I'm here for that. They grew up together, they help out each other in all kinds of situations and they care about each other. They can be funny and they can be serious for a moment, they value each other's advice and the fact that their friendship lasts since childhood makes their scenes 100 times more adorable (just think of the forehead kiss!).

Gina Linetti & Raymond Holt — from an annoying assistant who never gets her job done (not that this has ever changed) to a dear friend who teaches captain Holt trashtalk and is on first name terms with his husband. Their scenes are just super hilarious and I love how Holt just can't imagine having as his assistant anyone but Gina. His Gina Moment is just amazing and he's really proud of his friend, even though he worries about her. I love how Gina takes his side and doesn't want Jake to ruin his career when Wuntch transfers him to PR. She teaches him, as well as he teaches her, they help each other, they appreciate each other when some can't, they know each other's talents and value each other's opinions. And you can tell Holt is extremely bummed when Gina decides to leave the Nine-Nine, because who will give him diction exercises before important events now? Gina Linetti Spaghetti Confetti.

Terry Jeffords & basically everyone (INCLUDING Sharon!) — I'm gonna start from Sharon because imo their relationship is SO underrated while it's such a great marriage. Remember when Sharon said she would always worry about him but he should get his ass back in the field if he was ready? Now that's the support. They love each other so much and, what's more, they let each other know that. The same goes for the kids — Terry always makes sure they know he loves them very much. And except his real family, he also has his other family with his stupid grown up kids. Because he treats squad like a family and it's the cutest thing ever. He loves Jake, he loves Amy, he loves Rosa, he loves Gina, he loves Charles, he loves every single one of them, values every single one of them, cares about every single one of them and lets them know that. They know they can count on him and ask him for help or advice and even when he's super busy, he's gonna find some time for them. The same goes for Holt, they're amazing friends and basically dads of the squad but Terry isn't afraid to tell captain off if he gives the squad too hard time. In summary, don't annoy proud mama hen of the Nine-Nine or you're gonna regret it and that's confirmed.

Raymond Holt & Rosa Diaz — both Amy and Rosa are so similar to Holt but in such different ways. I love how they talk about emotions and help each other acknowledge them. They have so much respect for one another which is growing stronger and stronger throughout the series. Rosa understands Holt's standards and contrariwise. Their friendship is restrained but yet powerful and based on mutual respect. But feelings? Ew.

Raymond Holt & Jake Peralta — this most obviously had to be here, because it's impossible not to love this duo. Their relationship evolves so beautifully and it's very clearly shown how Holt's opinion and appreciation matter much more than his actual father's. Not only does Ray have an impact on Jake, but also Jake teaches captain a few things, remember hot tub scene? They value each other's opinions, they literally make each other better people. And their father-son relationship is simply amazing and when Holt plays along with it it's just... daaamn, son.

Raymond Holt & Madeline Wuntch — when they're together, I'm like Rosa: this is amazing. I literally want to make popcorn and watch this beautiful drama and those insults OMG, I'm here for them so much. That's basically it, I love their chemistry of arch-nemesis and I love how they perform it and chapeaux bas to Andre Braugher and Kyra Sedgwick for not cracking up during those scenes. Who's guarding Hades or tickets to Wicked? Raymond, Raymond, Raymond...

Norm Scully & Michael Hitchcock — this is a perfect example of how true friendship can last over the years. These guys do everything together and they simply don't care about what others say about them (cake for gay wedding has come to mind). As Hitchcock says, everyone knows they come in package and they both watch it'll be so, so neither of them would be left out. They're dorky but they appreciate each other for the little things (which to them are quite big things but let's leave it), they comfort each other and even when they fight they can't stay mad at one another for long. They seem so friendly and harmless but just wait until someone touches their food...

That's it from me but feel free to add some relationships from your top list or just add some thoughts on that!

Drabble Ship💚💚💚

Hi, may I have a drabble ship for SHINee, F(X) & Girls' Generation? I usually don't approach strangers, I let them come to me. There's some exceptions like if someone is friendly or has the same interests as me. I'm shy at first when I meet people. As I start to open up, I'll be more talkative and feel more comfortable talking about anything that's on my mind. I'll also joke around a lot. My hobbies are dancing, acting out scenes from my fav tv shows or movies and playing mobile/video games. I like babies (well mostly my baby cousins, they're so cute 🥺), having time to myself, roses, candy, rabbits and fireworks. I dislike snakes, spiders, nosy people, math and naggers it makes not want to do whatever they're nagging me about. Something I look forward in a relationship is spending the holidays together, especially Christmas! Since I'm older and now I know Santa isn't real, my parents have me help pick out presents for my siblings and I also get to pick my present. I like that I can get whatever I want, but I don't feel excited to open it, since I already know what it is. With my partner, I would like us to exchange gifts on Christmas day. Since I won't know what I'm getting, I'll feel the excitement I use to feel as a kid, which will make me very happy. I would also like to do Easter hunts. If you need more info, feel free to message me.

Heyy angel 😊😊, good to see ya requesting. That was a lovely description about yourself and I love how you added your love for Christmas to it. sorry for making you wait so long...

From Shinee, I ship you with...Onew

Winter Wonderland ❄️🤍

Song inspiration: Winter Bear by V

It has been 5 years since you’ve married Onew and your favorite season has finally approached.

On January 21st the first winter snowfall of the new year has finally came. Your husband has finally took you on the Dream honeymoon you’ve been asking for after throwing your wedding on Christmas Day.

You’ve stayed together the whole weekend at the cabins in Tennessee to drink hot cocoa, watch hours worth of k-dramas reanacting your favorite scenes and spending quality time relaxing in the hot tub.

This getaway was perfect, but today was even more special because today your 6th year anniversary since becoming a couple.

The both of you have admired the snow falling from the sky holding hands, reminiscing every moment laughing together.

There was even a moment where you were on the peak of breaking up, because of the importance of his career. The thought made you shed tears.

Y/N: Remember when we almost seperated? Man that was the toughest day wasn’t it?

Onew: Ahh yeah it was. Why all of a sudden you thought of that just now?

You turn walking towards him holding his hands with warming his hands up with your fuzzy gloves.

Y/N: Ever since that day, I’ve realized my life wouldn’t have been the same without you. I mean my family and friends love you coming around every holiday. But, every season as more time pasts by...I love having you around the most.

He sheds a tear as he hears his lovely wife confess such beautiful words. He gently hugs you spinning around singing Winter Bear.

Onew: You have my word honey. I won’t be going anywhere, That’s what I vowed to do didn’t I? He leans in kissing you on the forehead.

Y/N: Mmm, that’s right my Winter Bear. I love you.

Onew: I love you more.

The married couple lives in there own world as they wiggle each other’s noses giggling under the snowfall...

From F(X), I ship you with...Amber

Red Lights🎄❤️

Song Inspiration: Mistletoe by Justin Bieber

It was your Christmas together with your girlfriend Amber and your family. Your grandmother and mom was in the kitchen baking chocolate chip cookies while you, Amber and her younger cousins helped set up the tree.

Amber was on a roll at first nicely setting up all the 24 ornaments you both painted together. It all went down hill until she started tangling up the red Christmas lights.

You and cousins laugh at this embarrassing sight and decided to help her.

Y/N: I told you not to by those cheap ones. Those get tangled very easily and don’t last long.

Amber: I know y/n. The star is the most important part anyways. smiles at you making cute llama noises.

Your younger cousins decided to step back and take a cookie break after helping hanging up the lights.

As your tree is almost complete, Amber pulls out the sparkly golden star to complete the tree and hands it over to you.

Amber: Here you you, for my shinning star.

Y/N: Giggles holding on to the star. Don’t mind if I do sweetie.

Your start climbing onto the three step ladder carefully setting the star on top. As you move away from the tree to get off the steps, you end up falling into Amber’s arms.

Amber: Catches you into her arms tightly and just looks at you caressing the top of your head. Hehe, hi... Aren’t you glad I caught you?

Y/N: Absolutely...I know it’s a bit early, but I should give you your gift. You want to know what it is? Leans in wrapping your arms around her neck.

Amber: Hmm, suprise me. I’m ready.

As soon as you two were about to kiss everyone walks back inside the living room screaming both of your names to try your grandma’s famous chocolate chip cookies before they get cold.

The both of your faces turned as red as the Christmas lights flashing on the christmas tree. At least later that night, Amber was able to receive her gift...

From Girls Generation, I ship you with...Tiffany

Ms. Claus🎵🎤

Song Inspiration: Santa Tell Me by Ariana Grande

You decided to take a trip to the mall to buy your family and friends some gifts for Christmas.

You were walking around for hours going over your checklist of everyone’s wishlist. Your siblings were getting a lot older and there at that age where they don’t want to play with toys anymore.

You were planning on taking a break by eating at the food court exhausted from all the shopping. All of a sudden you hear a crowd of people screaming..

Fan 1: Omg is that Tiffany Young?!

Fan 2: That sure is her, her new Christmas single just came out.

Fan 3: She’s also having a meet and greet right after.

Growing up girls generation was one of your ultimate kpop groups and to hear that Tiffany is performing right now at the mall made you speechless.

The red curtain opens and all you see is Tiffany stunting on stage with her all red ribbon dress smiling so angelic at the crowd.

The jazz band plays the song to her new single Ms. Claus with her unique vocals. In the middle of the performance, you didn’t want to believe it at first, but you noticed her exchanging eye contact with you.

Towards the end of the performance, confetti exploded everywhere making the crowd go insane. She walks off stage standing infront of you handing you a rose smiling at you.

Tiffany: What’s your name?

You look up at her dropping your pretzel on the ground forgetting how to function. Eventually you’ve proceeded to tell her your name.

Tiffany: I’ve noticed you sitting here all by yourself. I just wanted to say your very beautiful and I hope you enjoy your Christmas.

She then kneels down in front of you coming closer to your face kissing your cheek leaving a lip stain on your cheek.

Y/N: Holds marked cheek looking flustered. W-Will I ever see you again?

Tiffany looks back at you one last time and winks.

Tiffany: Whenever you need me, my phone number is attached on the rose...

The crowd looks at you with jaw dropped to the ground and hypes you up saying “Yaa she’s so lucky.” And “You go get her tiger. ”

Not even a second later after her meet and greet was over you’ve decided to call her and stay on the phone for hours. Santa has definitely blessed you this time of year.

@wjnterchild I had so much fun writing these for you. It’s definitely fitting the theme and I hope you enjoyed them. Happy Holidays 💚❤️💚

[c-bunn]

I consider myself a big fan of drama and angst too, even though I've been complaining about it bc I'm too attached to my LI, lol. I can give them that, the cheating plot it's good.

OMG, I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT COMPLETELY ABOUT CASTIEL'S ARC, LMAO, I'm so sorry. That was great too. And yeah, I agree that the end of Rayan and Priya's arc wasn't the best at all. Also, I didn't enjoy how dirty they made Priya and how they portrayed Rayan's character. He's too saint sometimes. Like, dude, please. They almost ruined your career, they we're unprofessional and you still took the blame... C'MON. (And I know that Rayan's behaviour as a teacher can be... confusing sometimes, but that doesn't justify everything he went through.)

I noticed that now your options have a bigger impact this season, that's true. I still think it's unforgivable how much plot was wasted ignoring who Candy's boyfriend was in HS, last season. It barely did anything to the story, just a couple of changes to some dialogues. Duh.

But I keep thinking that they're wasting a lot of potential. I refuse to believe that this will end in just two episodes. There's so much more they can do. It drains me that in this otome there's so little romance with your partner.

And what about Hyun's arc? As always, that poor little boy got the worst. I'm not even sure if that was an arc...

An example, personally, I wanted to see Amber sooo badly. You know, I'm curious about her, I wanted to know how she looks now and more details about her life and job. She's my sister in law... but it seems that she doesn't even talk to his brother or viceversa (We barely know about the LI's families, except for Hyun's family :c)

What I'm trying to say it's that I don't want a timeskip. I want to see everything! I would love to see Rayan working in a different place. I want Nath to go to therapy and see his development. What will happen to Priya if she quits her job or not. How things turn out to Castiel, to his career. (Are we forgetting Gabin and Nina's romance? I wanted to know! Maybe we'll see but...) I'm pretty sure that we're not gonna see all of that fully written in just two episodes.

Maybe that's why everything feels like a meh for me. LL has too much to offer to end here. Everything feels very rushed for me.

But that's my opinion at the end of the day. I'm happy that you're enjoying this season. :)

Well... It's official. Someone asked Beemoov on Instagram how many episodes are left for LL and they said 2. And... I don't know how to feel about that. This season isn't over yet, but I already know that I'm unhappy with it. Yeah, the whole cheating plot is interesting... but the entire season by itself has been a complete... meh, for me. I was expecting something else, I guess. (I'm still mad that I haven't spent enough time with my baby boy...)
