dumb little thing i wrote about steve's real name actually being Alistair Steven Harrington and him hating that fact
-
Eddie's been peacefully letting Steve nap against him during their weekly movie night when the Harrington house phone goes off. Steve jolts upright, and blinks blearily at Eddie as it rings loud and clear.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I got it." Eddie assures him.
He gets up, and watches Steve deflate back into the cushions with a sleepy sigh before he walks off to the wall phone in the hall. As he's about to pick up the phone, he remembers whose phone he's picking up, and sighs at the formal greeting he has to force out.
"Harrington residence. Who am I speaking with?" He asks.
"Oh- uh. Who is this?" A feminine voice responds, and he's a bit surprised at how unsure it sounds.
"This is Eddie, ma'am."
"And why are you answering my phone, Eddie? Where's Ali?"
Eddie can't help the intense frown that creeps up on him at the words. Who the fuck is Ali? Wait. Shit. Is this Mrs Harrington?
"I'm sorry. I don't know any Alis. I'm a friend of Steve's, if that helps, Mrs Harrington?"
It's actually killing him to be this polite.
He hears a sigh through the phone, before the woman speaks up again.
"Well, that explains it. I see Alistair is still too stubborn to go by his first name."
"What?"
"Don't worry about it. Just let Ali- Steven. Let Steven know his mother called, would you, dear? Where is he, anyway?"
"Uhm, he's sleeping ma'am. I will let.. Alistair.... know you called."
As he puts the phone back on the wall, there's a shit-eating grin he can't help. He mouths the word 'Alistair' to himself and giggles a little.
What a little rich people name. No wonder Steve's been hiding it from him. He is going to have so much fun with this.
He walks back to the living room, and sees Steve still awake, looking adorably sleepy.
"Who w's it?" He asks. Eddie's grin sharpens a little.
"Oh, Ali, still sleepy, darling?" He asks, and delights in the way Steve completely wakes up in a split second. His eyes are wide.
"What did you call me?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Would you prefer Alistair?" Eddie manages to get out before giggles take over, and he lets himself collapse on the couch next to Steve as he hears an embarrassed groan from the other.
"Of course it was my mother who phoned. She's the only one who calls me that, you know?"
"Now there are two people that call you that, Stairy baby." Eddie claims, and leans forward to kiss Steve's cheek.
Steve seems less annoyed by this than Eddie expected. He mostly just seems put out, and he sighs again.
"If you call me Alistair in front of the kids I'm breaking up with you."

So I've worked at a handful of nice restaurants and a common thread is the owners (or their families) get buttered noodles a lot??
Like you could have basically anything you want, it's your place! And you choose nothing food!
Money doesn't buy taste I guess?

When we were kids, our imaginations ran wild with dreams of luxurious lives led by the wealthy. We marveled at the things we believed only rich people could possess or experience. From swimming

doodled your little guys!!! I have so many thoughts about them. As someone who lives in Italy it has been absolutely wonderful seeing your characters express the country's culture and history!!! It's not often that I see characters be based off Italian history in such an artistic manner.. But that might be me living under a rock, LOL. Anyhow, keep doing what you do, YOU ROCK!!!!
.
#aaa you're too sweet! ;_;#and the art!!#I don't know what you did but I love the way they look in your style#they seem so expressive and alive and your linework has such wonderful almost animated fluidity to it#that swooping line from the tip of Machete's ear to his cheek fluff? such a shape#their faces are priceless#Vasco's little blep and Machete's blush and squiggly mouth#thank you so much! you've warmed my heart#gift art#limelemonchi#Vasco#Machete#own characters#it genuinely means a lot to me when someone from Italy says they like my dogs#I'm Finnish so I'm never going to have the insider experience and the full picture of someone who lives there#and sometimes it really worries me like what if I get things wrong and I'm not only embarrassing myself#but also disappointing people who thought I do my research well#but I'm doing my best and I always welcome feedback and tips to make the setting more believable if you want to give them#whether it's the original canon or the modern au#I mean it when I say the history and culture of Italy are extraordinarily rich and interesting#I've been reading about them long before these two came to be#it's a meeting spot for many of my special interests some of which I've had since I was a preschooler

I wholly and solidly believe that Bruce can cook. You don’t travel the world the way he did without being able to cook yourself some basic meals when you either can’t go out and get something or don’t currently have the money for it.
So yes, Bruce can cook. Does he cook the most amazing meals in the world? No. But can he cook something edible or something that doesn’t taste like straight up sludge and muck? Absolutely.
I imagine his kids constantly rib on him that he lacks basic survival skills because even if he’s Batman, he’s still a rich kid. And then Bruce sighs and tells Alfred that he’ll handle dinner tonight. The kids all prepare themselves to either not eat for the night or grab some take out, but they still arrive at the dinner table, *just* out of curiosity.
It’s not extravagant. It’s a pot of pasta, a tiny bit over cooked, and meatballs. He even added a tossed salad as a side. They stare at it like it’s going to eat *them*.
Bruce, sits down and makes a plate for himself. Takes a bite. They watch him, waiting for any kind of reaction that it’s bad. Bruce just takes another bite.
Tim, “Fuck it. It can’t kill me.”
He takes a seat and makes his own plate. Takes a bite. His eyes go wide and Dick has 911 ready to dial.
Dick, “Are you okay?”
Tim takes another bite. They all sit and stare and wait.
Tim, “Damn.”
Bruce, “Hm?”
Tim, “You tricked me. Alfred made this, didn’t he? You’re passing his food off as yours.”
Bruce smiles.
Bruce, “While I appreciate the compliment, I can assure you that Alfred had no hand in this. Besides, he’s a much better cook than I am. I just know the basics.”
The others all join in, spaghetti and meatballs on their plates. They all begrudgingly take a bite. And yeah. Tim’s right. It’s good. Not winning any awards, but it’s good home cooked food.
#I truly believe bruce has a bunch of skills people don’t consider a rich kid to have#some of it is for the sake of batman but some of it is just because bruce likes doing certain things#cooking is a skill he picked up for both reasons#alfred is very proud of him#bruce wayne#tim drake#dick grayson#alfred pennyworth#batfamily#batfam#batman#my post

So much mainstream interpretation I see of Miki talks about his "purity" in such a cut and dry way that kinda bugs me. Like yes innocence is a big part of character but it's different then say, how innocence is a big part of Utena's character or how Juri has such a distinct relationship with the concept of faith and the heavenly.
Miki's duel is titled Raison, something I had trouble understanding until I looked at it in the context of his duel song.
The Spira Mirabilis, or Fibonacci's spiral, plays a big role in music and musical harmony. It is the embodiment of perfection. It is another representation of the myth of the "eternal" that the show is trying so hard to deconstruct.
People seem to forget that Miki when first introduced he isn't characterized by his naivete. He is a prodigy. A genius not only for his musical sense but his knack for complex college level mathematics as well. The show makes a point to directly tie his dissatisfaction with his music to his frustration at having lost the subject of his nostalgic longing. He is logician trying to create the most mathematically perfect composition. He is a child trying to reconstruct his most perfect memory.
#i really only bring this up because people apply just basic western feminism to utena#+ maybe some freudian ideas#and call it a day#which really does a disservice to the shows rich occult cultural symbolism and the way it has been influenced by spiritualism and philosoph#after i write these things out they always seem like the most obvious thing in the world and i get a little embarrassed about posting it#but i kinda wanna make the post about Juri as well#my most favourite valkyrie#revolutionary girl utena#shoujo kakumei utena#*gasp* THE OWL CAN TALK??!

THE MANIPULATIVE PARENT FIGURE HAPPENS AGAIN!!
It's sad to see so many people not understanding the complexity of what we have seen in Act 1 between Caitlyn and Vi. There's no fucking reason to hate on Caitlyn, she's a victim of the big whole, just like Vi.
Her grief, overwhelming and the manipulation of Ambessa is clearly shown in several scenes. Jinx kills people in every fucking Scene, she's literally a terrorist, noone bats an eye. Caitlyn breaks down under the weight that was put on her from one day to the other and snaps? Everyone's hating.
"Make it make sense" Of course it's wrong what she did. But almost no one would have been able to keep being rational after all this. And I'm sure will understand this soon.
No one can't make me hate her. Everyone who has gone through hard times knows that you've done things you realized later that they were wrong, or stupid or whatever.
(I trust the writers and the progress of the story.)
The show’s creators are known for nuanced storytelling, and Caitlyn’s redemption will likely involve acknowledging how her pain altered her actions and how she must make amends, especially with Vi
These people are too stupid to understand a complex character development with ups and downs.
Ambessa:
Plots the entire war escalation between Piltover and Zaun
Is behind the attack at the Memorial for Caitlyn's mother, to make her rage even more and put even more pressure on her
Uses her as a puppet in her plan by putting her in a position of power she's not ready for
Those people: Caitlyn is the problem 🤡
#It's funny how some people say Caitlyn is rich and an adult why does she get angry and lose control and all that bullshit#these people should shut fuck up#I'm really sick of you I'm sick of the hypocrisy you guys are doing!!#Jinx has become a crazy girl and a killer you say it's okay#But when Caitlyn does literally the same thing that Jinx does you say she's evil.#like wtf#caitlyn#caitlyn kiramman#caitlyn arcane#arcane caitlyn#ambessa#ambessa medarda#ambessa arcane#jinx#jinx arcane#arcane jinx#silco#silco arcane#vi#vi arcane#arcane vi#arcane#arcane season 2#arcane league of legends#caitvi#league of legends#arcane netflix#..

Prompt 185
No one could get into contact with Constantine.
Now usually that wasn’t that big of a deal, the man constantly disappeared for a few days at a time doing something or other, but he’d been completely silent and unseen for months. Usually he’ll at least answer a call to tell them to fuck off or something.
And they really need his expertise and are getting incredibly worried for their grumpy team member. Yes he’s an asshole, but he’s their asshole, y’know? And he has a habit of getting into Situations (sure he also usually gets out of them, but what if he didn’t this time?!)
So they’re desperate. Kind of really desperate. Desperate enough to use the summoning sigil they found on his fridge. They’d checked it, multiple times, and it should summon the hellblazer.
“You’re not Constantine.” .
The white-haired teen in the circle yawned, stretching and blinking at them blandly with familiar blue eyes before sighing. “Actually I am,” he stuffed his hands into his hoodie as he looked down at the summoning circle. “Well, technically just one of the many Laughing Magicians currently in the Realms.”
He gave a grin, looking more amused than annoyed. “Pretty much every one of us is in the Realms right now for family reunion lol. (Did he just say lol out loud??) So like, you’re gonna have to specify which of us you’re tryin’ to summon. Honestly perfect timing for me thanks, the fruitloop keeps flirting with John and it’s horrific so.”
… That was probably their John, wasn’t it…
#dcxdp#dpxdc#prompts#The Constantine Family exists for fucking over entities & manipulating luck#They adore this scrappy halfa who is doing the same with twice the feral#Danny: Yeah I’m like the changeling child that ended up in the middle of them and they just kept me for the laughs lol#Danny: I’m not allowed to join in the drinking competitions#Danny: Oh no it’s not a responsibility thing; alcohol doesn’t affect me and they say it’s cheating#Why Yes Vlad IS flirting with their Constantine#He’s started his redemption but let’s be honest he’s also a con-man & John is all for fucking over the rich#Danny is disgusted at how well they’re getting along and wanted to get away from their flirting while everyone else ribbed at em#Hence why when they all felt the summoning he decided to go#Well that and also for the laughs because he’s learning magic Undead Constantine style#”Fuckin 'ell yeah the family 'as a necromancer in 'he line again look a' 'im go!” (Lots of ghost & living people drunken cheering)#Danny only half fucking with people: Yeah I’m like their collective undead fae child lmao#danny fenton#john constantine

Someone explain to me why people who have more money than god like the Muskrat or Bezos don't keep artists around like rich families used to.
Like if I won the lottery I would give some weird artists $75K a year and an apartment and just let them fuck around and make me art. Rich people have no fucking taste any longer smh

Not to be all "I have a degree and I know more than you" but it really bothers me how the people on tumblr who are against the word transandrophobia being coined talk about feminism because they're all just like. So wrong. It's like half the time they're doing 1970s radical feminism and half the time they're just making shit up. Like jfc read a book watch a YouTube video feminism isn't what it's your heart it refers to several theories you have to LEARN ABOUT if you've never read or listened to anything about feminism then this is what you get. People who think the patriarchy doesn't harm men, and people who think "system of oppression" just means "people in power doing things to people without power" etc. Like words have meanings. You have to learn those meanings. You aren't engaging with feminist theory, you're just making shit up. If you don't know what Foucaultian discourse is, which is part of THE basic theories of contemporary feminism, if you don't know what performativity is (no, it's not performance), then you need to learn those before you engage with the theories. Like, fuck, man, I totally get being too tired from work or too disabled or whatever to engage with learning theory, but if that's the case then you should just say "I don't know much about the theory" instead of "I know that 'intersectionality' means people have more than 1 marginalised identity because my heart says it's true". Like, we aren't just saying random shit here, established theories arise from meaningful conversation and engagement with philosophy, lived experience, and research. You can at least put a video about feminism on in the background while you fucking video game.
#you know what. fuck it. ill just do the same thing.#marxism is when you punch rich people (those who can afford to buy luxuries like coffee) because my heart says its true <3

The reaction I'm seeing to the LA fires on social media is DISGUSTING, have some of you no compassion?
Not everybody who lives in LA is rich or a celebrity or a CEO. We're people of all different backgrounds and incomes, and to categorize one of the country's biggest populations under "rich" removes all of that
Furthermore, hi, PEOPLE'S HOUSES ARE BURNING DOWN. DO YOU GET THAT?? THEIR HOMES ARE BURNING DOWN
It's not about whether they have the money to immediately make a new one (remember that majority of people in LA county do not), it's about the fact that their entire livelihoods are disappearing right before their eyes and they can't do anything about it. Those memories are gone in an instant
Even if someone isn't being directly affected, they feel it in other ways. The air quality is extremely bad, everyone is smelling the smoke and seeing the flames
To generalize all of this and say "well only the rich are affected" and you having no sympathy whatsoever for that is disgusting. Shame on you
#also i'm in a lot of communist spaces#aka. people who hate the rich the most#and not ONCE did i see anyone laughing about the fires#bc they understand this isn't a rich vs poor thing#you are lacking sympathy#los angeles#la#la fires#pacific palisades#eaton fire#pacific palisades fire

Like when I talk about the level of negligence here, please understand.
These are a group of the most obnoxiously privileged people in the universe, who paid obscene amounts of money for the sole purpose of gawking at a mass fucking grave and acting like this made them Awesome Explorers Who Did Totally Real Science while gushing about how it’s just like a movie with zero respect or reverence for the reality of what they were seeing. Just for the cool factor.
So when I say that the level of arrogant disregard for their safety on the part of the company that knowingly, willingly sent them down there in unsafe and unrated death cannisters while lying to them about it is so egregious that the entitled billionaire pricks who fucked around and found out have my complete and total sympathy as victims?
It’s that bad. It’s very, very fucking bad.
#in any other circumstances I would not care about rich fucks experiencing the consequences of their arrogance#but this is just#this is horrific#this did not have to happen#literally anyone with common sense could have told them this would happen#many did and were ignored#but the thing is#even over-wealthy entitled pricks with the brains that god gave rocks#have the right to have the people who are RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SAFETY be held accountable#this insane sub company had a duty of care and they FUCKED it#it's not about deserving it's about basic ethics and morality

We Became Heroes Because You Didn't
The Justice League don't specialize in much. If you ask them, they'd say otherwise. Unless they're one of the Bats, because they acknowledge that, especially with magic. They hate it, but they have connections and will at least ask for more details to deal with the situation at hand. Though they'll need proof.
That's the thing really. Proof. Because how are you going to get proof of something if everything gets repaired by the end? Or maybe you're the villain here according to the public. Or maybe everything you say is just plain crazy that nobody even knows what's going on from the start!
It was only when another group was formed when everything became clear. They were frowned upon, unknown, spoke nonsense, and never asked for help. They were the survivors that played hero. They were the shadowed version of the Justice League.
They were Justice League: Dark
A fanfic (or multiple small ones grouped together?) that isn't really about them joining forces, but more about the discovery of more dangerous territory that's being handled by kids/teens. Lift some weight for these kids. They really want a safe net by now in their hero careers.
Like- maybe a few of these wouldn't be the JL's fault. Maybe it was the government (at least for the US). Like Danny Phantom and Gravity Falls mentions the government, maybe they blocked off those regions from outside connections.
I feel like it would be funny if maybe Constantine just ends up collecting kids like Batman with his.
They're just kids! Itty bitty toddlers. It's supposed to be our job to take care o' that shit, ain't it?
And JLD now has a bunch of young professionals cause what the fuck, kid. Why do you know this??? Ya know? Maybe the JL just randomly finds these things, calls Constantine after Zatanna fails to know wtf is going on, and he just calls over a kid. Or a group of them.
JL: We need a professional, why is there a child here?
Constantine: Cause even when you fuckers ignored their calls for help, they still at least try to help where they can
JL: We never-
Constantine: Shut your traps! School's in session
*Child tries to explain*
JL: You have to be kidding me. ___ doesn't exist.
Constantine: Oh bloody hell-
Child: And they wonder why they get more attention than us.
idk, I just like the idea of Constantine being a father for OP characters and desperately want a Young Justice League: Dark. I read a couple of Danny and/or Billy being adopted by him, but the cravings... And if it's a whole big crossover thing, that would be great. Tag me if you see or write about something like this. I wanna read too :)
Don't put too much hope in me writing it though, I'm seriously bad at continuing/finishing stuff. But if I do, I'll edit this post with links to whatever I write.
#justice league#Justice league dark#danny phantom#miraculous ladybug#gravity falls#ben 10#dc x dp#dc x mlb#dc x gravity falls#Anything else you can think of#I feel like Batman would've checked whatever is going on#But for the plot- maybe he's too busy with literally everything else#his city is literally the most crime ridden city to exist#and he has to deal with rich people things#like his company#then there's watchtower and other maintanance#which I feel like he'd check over a million times in case of hackers#idk#honestly i feel like Batman does a lot and is just too overworked to realize something here#or maybe he's the one to realize and looks into it?#fun either way#oh but maybe someone should get Billy into this group#you can't tell me that the whole Champion of Magic doesn't attract attention#Maybe a nicer reveal of Billy Batson?#Or at least give him some support#the poor kid#prompts
