How long is the wait before you have to Kribble Krabble???

Cuz like. We've no idea how long B-Man was head elf, right? We know that he was for SURE head elf for Scott for 8 years at least. And we KNOW he's been there for a HAUTE MINUTE given the photo he has with Mad Santa, okay? So HUNDREDS of years, then about 8 for Scott.

Then Curtis takes over and we know he's been head elf for like, at LEAST that year (given how he says "fyi I'm head elf NOW" to Jack, and Santa comments frequently enough on how Curtis needs to get his head in the game (wildcats!) bc he's head elf now), right? Then literal DECADES pass and we KNOW in that interim, Curtis explodes but then doesn't and goes on kribble krabble instead, right?

Okay. So like. Betty has deffs been there for a HAUTE MINUTE. I don't think there's ANY comment on how/when she started. So we can assume Betty has been there for DECADES at least if the whole Escape Clause debacle had Curtis exploding his way to Kribble Krabble.

Now I THINK she mentions she deferred it a bunch, or SOMEONE mentions she did. So like. Okay. We can deffer a Kribble Krabble. Cool! But how long did she do that for? How long did B-MAN do that for?

Moving on!

So Betty finally goes on Kribble Krabble, and then a year later Noel goes with her on his (their) Kribble Krabble so basically, WHEN DOES THE KRIBBLE KRABBLE TAKE EFFECT? BECAUSE THIS IS VERY MUCH GIVING

What if. And everyone stay with me here. I went and got pre rolls from the dispensary and did nothing but play videogames as soon as i clocked out.

[the-kipsabian]

reworking my resume and i cannot wrap my stupid fat head around how im supposed to write stuff down here akfbgoavdow

[businesspilled]

i am. not well.

[glamourbean]

I don't understand why I feel sad and it's really hard to talk about it

[ganondoodle]

more spoilers i guess

briefly searched his name on twitter.

it was a mistake.

i was right.

he there.

hes there .............. i.

i though it was weird killing him was a requirement to enter the DLC but shrugged it off .... a mistake.... i was right....... and i hate it..... you need to kill him bc hes he .... *cries*

in any other scenario i would have loved to see more of him .......... just tell me .... how bad is it .......... is there anything good ......

and why is he 'normal sized' anyway ....... (i only saw a few screenshots but it looked like he was small all of the sudden ... i liked he was just giant for no reason ..........)

i, i havent been this devastated sicne beating totk and i dont even know everything yet ...

im sorry i hope im not spamming you i just .... hands off my maaaaaaaaaan arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

im watching a (slow) streamer play thorugh elden rings DLC and have barely seen anything more but ... i have seen some vague hints on twitter that theres something up with radahns lore and now im WORRIED/FEAR TM

hes my fav and thought that the lore in the base game was all he would get and i was honestly fine with that (heyo another unpopular(?) one to add to my list of favs lol) and was just happy he was mentioned by name bc that one lady NPC at the start-- BUT NOW??? i dont even know if its true but .............

im not gonna say anything more dw, ... i dont even know more anyway, but feel free to tell me bc the not knowing and then see it get discovered on stream might be worse than any spoiler could be (i dont even care about that much anymore)

[quotidian-oblivion]

Wouldst THou be okay with questions???

What’s your favourite thing to do at 2am (follow up question, fic recs??????)

Love

'Course! I has puts blanket permission it on le pinned post.

Read/write fics. Unquestionably. And eat junk food (like ferrero rochers *cough cough*). If i was alone in the house at 2 am, i would probably be singing out as loud as i could.

But *sigh* I end up doing schoolwork half the time. The other half I'm laying in my bed, and sleep-deprived me takes over and magically produces a fic and its outline leaving daytime-me to write it out and expand on it.

Fic recs... hmmm... Lemme go visit my bookmarks and link the links here.

Okay, so Repletion by sardnoic-sprite is rlly good. Actually lol, im providing analyzations + some minor info and ideas on the 2.0 version of the fic to sprite rn. In this one, Uncle Edward does exist and is a certified asshole and abuser. He tries to control Tim and keep him away from the Bats and threatens to hurt Tim real bad if the Bats try to contact him.

Zugzwang by sardonic sprite is rlly good too! Very hurty. Much angst. Ra's captures the batfam and challenges Tim to a game of chess. Each move is dangerous. A small mistake puts any of the Bats at risk. And Tim has to predict which batfam member will get hurt depending on which chess piece he moves.

And the whole series of Celebrity Batwaynes by sardonic-sprite is rlly good too! It had me cracking up so much. But ofc there's angst there too, but mostly crack and i adore this series with my life. It's about the Gotham vigilantes, some rogues, and the Waynes doing internet challenges like Buzzfeed quizzes and other stuff too.

My Mummy Has Tattoos by I_is_a_fangirl_yee is v v angsty. And yes, im being prejudiced rn but what im not being prejudiced abt is the fact that i screamed out loud in class while beta-ing this fic.

Now, The Dream Of Flight by A_Canceled_Stamp is an excellent fic I will never stop yakking about. The plot is literally just Tim falling off a building. But the writing? The emotions captured within the writing, the pure act of storytelling through actions described by text is something out-of-the-world.

I adore Instead Of All The Colors I Saw by SilverSkiesAtMidnight. It deals with Tim dealing with the aftermath of Titans Tower and his relationship with Jason and oof- the angsty dialogue is PEAK.

All of Vamillepudding's works. Well, at least the Batman ones, those are the only ones i've read. But they are all. Just. So. Good. The writing and oh- the ideas especially. Definitely some of the greatest Tim joins the batfam early fics to ever have existed.

Living Dead Boy by Terranphuem. *SCREAMS*. This fic. Let me tell you, this fic. It reached into my heart, grabbed it and teared it out then bandaged it and put it back in again. It's about Tim encountering Jason from when he just rose from the grave. And Jason's catatonic and everything and Tim helps him all by himself (with special help a little later) to make him "good enough" to return back to Bruce. SUCH A GOOD READ ISTG.

untitled titan's tower fic #89268439 by Ashynarr. It's, as the title says, a TT fic, but in this one, Jason finds Tim's old fanfiction account and tortures him by rereading some stuff from there to Tim XD Doesnt get the attention it deserves imo.

come back home please by PurpleHeartsOne. Gosh, the writing in this one... it is Up There with the Greats. I love how the emotions is captured so well here and also how smoothly the progression of chapters goes! The character development and- oh! The character reveal! Ahhhhh! Please do mind, it is still incomplete 8/10 chapters rn.

sipping the piping hot tea by BlueTee. In this one, Tim sips tea and destroys Jason instead of Titans Tower happening. Gosh, i loved the nonverbal reactions so much 😂

Conference Room 2B by motelyfam. It's part of a series, but it's so good, it deserves its own special appearance. Big bro Jason Todd! And theater kid Jason Todd! They're both in here!!

of crime lords and literature by adelfie. Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! The writing! The fucking- *slams table* THE WRITING!! It's a TT AU where Tim asks help from Jason for English h.w. There's more obviously, but that's where the plot starts. It is. so good.

don't drop the baby (i'm the baby) by Ms_Trickster. I will never ever ever shut up about this. I read this twice and both times I teared up. Both times. This fic means a lot to me on a personal level. Basically, Tim accidentally time-travels and meets a baby version of himself.

Late Night encounters by paperxcrowns. Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh! I adore this fic! Not only is the writing especially good, but the story line, the slow and smooth and excellent progression of events and character! Ahhhh! It's about Tim meeting Jason accidentally at a cafe and him somehow accidentally helping Tim with his homework and becoming friends.

just be there by TaraLaurel is so so good. I wrote a fic inspired by it (it's Shiver btw, the title of the inspired fic). Heck, I love all the batfam fics written by them (I haven't read the other fandom fics). This one is touch-starved tim drake and who doesn't love touch-starved tim drake! But more particularly, the writing. The fucking- writing. I'm like, the person who reads fanfics, but the ones with good fucking writing become my favorite cuz then i can kinda read it again and learn from it yk? It's like, looking up to people. And I look up to this author. How they describe emotions through nonverbal actions and verbal actions and subtle actions but also the inner monologue as well. Love it all.

Lastly, I've been saving this for the end. Rebel Without A Clause by DangerBeckett. This fic covers topics like classism and has Deep Stuff in it which is so so fun to read! I started commenting from the third chapter. Then by the fifth chapter, my two-sentence comments turned to two-page comments. As did with so many other commenters. I love the author and their writing. It is truly top tier. I love the character development going on too and the retrospection of topics and events through fiction and fandom. Truly excellent. Honestly. I can go on and on. And I have! It's about Tim meeting the batfam through galas and slowly getting adopted by them. It's in-progress still.

Those were too many fics probably lol. But I kept going through my bookmarks like "Oh! I forgot about that one! It was so fun". Happy reading! Thanks for the ask! ^^

[speakofthedebbie]

Actually, ya, we probably live 9 hours apart actually, I had sent that at like ~4:10 but idk, i was too tired to math then and too sick to math now

I had sent the sick message at roughly 8 or 9, so update at 6, my body hurts a little less by my eyes are burning

Mainly been getting though this Sunday by watching videos by CGP Gray and my mum giving me normal/cool water on my forehead and eyes

Also, 4 me Monday is holiday so if ur free we may get to talk then

Also, when do you wake up, since it's 6pm (Actually 7pm jeez I'm bad at checking the last two digits) for me

math hurty da brain :(

oof yeah sometimes my eyes will randomly get really itchy at night and i js wanna gouge them out geez

if we can talk on monday depends on my school not making a major l and blocking tumblr later in the day

i actually woke up late for all intents and purposes, something like 10 am which for you would be like 6-7 pm lol

[foryouthegays]

i feel like i need to preface this post with it is NEVER FUCKING OK to hurt ur kid etc etc.

anyway

some kids have never experienced pain and i think that negatively stunts their growth

like. ok. i teach aerial. there is no part of aerial that isnt at least a little uncomfortable or painful. most kids are like oof this kinda hurts but i can deal. and im like yeah! [alt version] might feel better or u could try [modification] if its bad but yeah it feels kinda hurty doesnt it? and thats fine! thats a kid expressing what their body is feeling, which is a mild amount of pain, and learning how to deal w it (either by pushing through, changing what theyre doing, or stopping) in a healthy way!

but SOME FUCKING KIDS. havent had a single goddamn papercut in their life. and it SHOWS. i show them something? owwwww this hurtssss i cant do this why does it hurtttt and im like. yeah it does hurt a bit doesnt it? you are sitting on a small metal bar after all :3 why dont you come down take a quick break and let someone else go? and they get off and are like acting as if they just broke their fuckin foot and its just bestieeeeeeee have you never tripped and fell have you never accidentally slammed a finger in the door have u never walked through thorns to get the juiciest berries.

i think kids need to have experience with pain so they can learn what is Uncomfortable what is Pain what is Sore etc. and sheltering kids to the point of them not being able to hang onto a bar for longer than like two seconds--not because they arent Strong enough but because it Hurts their Hands--is literally just setting them back in life.

kids are smart! they learn fast! let them be stupid and make mistakes and get hurt! theyll be smarter for it! idfk its just also kinda impossible for me as a teacher to work w a kid who wants to do all the cool stuff but cant deal w even the mildest of pain bc they havent been exposed to it.

Hapto 2

Did it. :(

Seriously, apparently I am hard to read. Even for hapto therapists (I was unrealistically hoping that maayyybe he would be able to pick up things). We talked a bit about my friend with depression, but I felt a bit uneasy. It was the way he was trying to "poke" me with questions. And then gave advice, which was not the thing needed, I think. I was almost crying when he asked me about how things felt & then said that my description was not what he was looking for. (He was looking for very specific words & as little sentences as possible?) I know it was because he's trying to teach me to think less and to feel more, so it's probably helpful in the long term, but... it's so hard for me to fail to meet expectations.

Probably it was Robin who might have been triggered by that? Because I felt close to crying. He was looking for a very specific way of describing it and it felt like I was just exchanging one set of rules for another one. More rules to remember...

I think it was also that we spoke briefly about Bf. Hurty hurt. Then at the very end, he wanted to do an experiental exercise again. He asked me to come lie on my stomach on the bench. I said that I don't think I'm comfortable with that. Then he pushed, said that I should try it and then get out of it if I can't handle it. And then... I burst out crying. He was very surprised by that and even more surprised when I said that the tears were from fear and not from sadness, like he apparently thought. TW sexual abuse / rape / child abuse When he asked me to go lie on my stomach, immediately I thought of the situation: us alone in this room, no one to protect or hear me. I thought he was maybe going to hurt me. I thought of Bf. Some specific memories. Things that happened, but also that for some reason it never felt OK for me to lie on my stomach with him. Even before the bad stuff with him had happened. Maybe the early memories of being spanked as a toddler? I don't know, but it just feels *really* threatening. When I got through some of the images inside, I said that I was willing to try it, but only if he could give me a blanket to put over me. He did give me a blanket and we tried it. He asked me to check in inside and I told him that I was asking parts how they were feeling. I shared that A (did not share any names or initials) felt ready to run, and that Mae felt scared about being betrayed. Then I felt Vesper and Thunder (and/or maybe Nero?) relax a little inside after nothing happened while we were laying there. HT was just sitting there. So, that was good. But yeah... Oof. I noticed I felt really sad afterwards. I feel so tainted. Frustrated and sad that this happens. That I'm still not over it. That it blocks me from doing things that are normal for so many other people. I'm just so terrified. I guess this is why I stay away from people...

[altschmerzes]

Since seeing the ‘i read a bunch of good fics and they all turned out to be you’ ask I have been deep in thought. In contemplation. What DOES make a Gav fic.

For specific narrative points, I’ve compiled my thoughts into a numbered list!

1) Hurty hurty sad time hours. In all your fics we’ve got a strong bit leading us off to just whump us to the ground. Seriousness of the situation may very but the INTENSITY of the hurt, ooh baby, it hurts just as bad every time

2) CONCERN-o-CLOCK. A Very Decent Character Has Cause to Worry. We love this character, and we love the worry. The worry sustains us, it feeds the pain and adds fuel to the fire of the-

3) ‘No no I’m fine’ ooof. OOF, I SAY. How delicious, not only is someone hurt but the pain is dragging our lifeless bodies across the ground. How long must we suffer?

4) Oh the Humanity there are such lovely people and they all just want to HELP and I love them

Now for the non-narrative specific bouillon the seasoning the flavor bomb in the magic is I think. I think. I think it’s the atmosphere. Your writing is so grounded and real. The way I think to put it is something along the lines of- I know this character has their feet on the asphalt. That is the feeling. There’s no pretense of loftiness there is just wonderful messy humanity. Flaws unedited. Beautiful asphalt in the rain at night under a street lamp.

That’s what I think <3

HEYYYYYY [POINTS ACCUSINGLY] NICE TO ME?????

i've been saving this in my inbox and rereading it periodically and i jsut wanna say thank you so much it was so kind of you to write this out and i also laughed a good bit bc you are COMPLETELY CORRECT these are the like. the Components Of A Gav Fic. someone is gonna have a BAD little time. someone else IS gonna worry about them. they ARE gonna try and deflect or hide it or deal with it alone. and then they ARE gonna be helped sldkfs it's the formula.

grounded and real waaaaaAHHH MAN...... i try very very hard to keep things in like. i like to sit in the dirt and rain of human experience, y'know. we don't know what we're doing but it matters so we're trying. etc.

(thank you again this was such a delight and a gift to get)

tag game: answer these questions, then tag 9 people you want to get to know better

I got tagged by @norsevibes (thank you, bb, I'm actually excited to do this!)

3 ships:

-Penny/Jake (Top Gun: Maverick): I think of all the TGM ships I'm into (which is a lengthy list at this point), this might be the dearest to my heart. I know I didn't invent it, but I kind of like to pretend I did, just for my own vanity. I just think it's a really fun dynamic to play around with, and I'm sorry, but you absolutely cannot convince me that Penny hasn't at least considered tapping that.

-Ronan/Adam (The Raven Cycle): They break my heart constantly, both in canon and fic, and they're one of the only pairings that I'll read hurty/angsty fic for. (My next favorite OTP for this fandom is Declan/a nice long nap).

-Kurt/Blaine (Glee): Maybe it's cliche, and I hated a lot of where the show went in later seasons, but there were so many incredible creators for this pairing, and I have the largest number of comfort fics from this fandom/pairing.

First ship: Oof, this is so hard. My first fandom was popslash, but I don't even remember who I shipped there or if I even really cared about shipping at that point. I think the first pairing that I really sought out was Bill/Charlie in HP.

Last movie: Glass Onion (which I hated, so sorry to everyone else in the world, it seems)

Last song: Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes
