What do you mean the doctors confirmes your mom was going to have a son and you were born as a girl, how did that happen ? Did the tests just fail ?

From what I understand, doctors can check for genital formation during an ultrasound, but it isn’t 100% accurate for a few reasons- The baby’s position, the umbilical cord, just poor clarity on the monitor- We didn’t have 3D tech when my mom was pregnant either, so you were kinda interpreting a lot of vague black and white formations.

My parents both come from families with like… almost NO girls, so when they heard “pretty sure it’s a boy”, they didn’t really question it.

Luckily they were both pretty determined not to enforce any gendered expectations- they didn’t do the whole pink or blue, dolls or trucks thing- so the things they bought to prepare were all kinds of varieties and didn't matter much when I was pronounced otherwise on appearance.

They let me dress however I wanted as a kid, and do what I was interested in, so I wound up wearing a lot of rainbow prints and collecting plastic frogs, dinosaurs, and bugs. (My special interest was and is animals in general.)

So it’s kinda just a funny happenstance that they got a son anyways, lol

Assigning the Batboys: Cologne

Bruce -

Deep, mature, and a bit mysterious. Elegant and floral with a timeless element to it. A blend of masculine and feminine scents in a classy and almost gothic way, fairly vampire-esque. Or like a man in a classic noir film.

Bruce would realistically have his own scent that was commissioned by a perfumer who takes like 2 clients a year HOWEVER I think it would be something like this

The floral and powdery elements that allow the scent to be more unisex would lend to the more Brucie side of his persona

This scent is also pretty divisive, some hate it, some love it, which feels very Bruce

Understands that he should smell good, but wouldn't give it too much thought past liking the scent I think.

Dick -

Smells fresh and blue. It's oldschool but can last as timeless. Has both an energy and sportiness mixed with a more elegant and mature drydown. Clean yet deep like Dick.

This is a pretty old scent so it has an element of nostalgia, particularly tied to the 80s which feels like a Dick era (discowing moment)

Smells a bit clean like shaving cream which is something he would like.

Bruce probably tried this at some point during his childhood and he just latched on and didn't let go.

There is a sense of familiarity attached to it for Dick and also a bit of drama that feels appropriate for the undercurrent of darkness he has

Jason -

Unwavering and distinct smell of leather. A highly aggressive scent that settles into something much smoother and softer with florals and a hint of spice. It makes a statement with a leather scent that is somehow earthy, animalic, and dark at once.

Incredibly divisive, it's just not a scent one feels moderately about, which perfectly describes Jason.

The way the scent settles and softens after coming off incredibly harsh and leathery also feels befitting of Jason.

I like to think that he started with Tom Ford Noir when he was much younger to be like Bruce; and then once he was older and everything was different he picked out something vaguely familiar.

Just feels very distinct and black sheep-ish to me, like a scent that could blend in with his lifestyle while making him smell good too.

Tim -

Sophisticated but aromatic. Citrusy and woody with a bit of depth to it, like a sunny day in a strange way. Has elements of smoke and spice but is harmonious enough to be versatile. Complex and deep underneath the clean citrus providing a more classy and dark feeling to an otherwise fresh and youthful scent.

The brighter, fresher, and cleaner opening feels like a representation of Tim's outward rich boy everyman presentation, youthful and fairly unassuming but pleasant

As it transitions into the deeper, much more musky, woody, and even spicy drydown, we get more of Tim's true personality, deep, thoughtful, and sharp

Tim is a rich boy at heart so he would also likely have some sort of custom commissioned cologne that he wears to everything but it would have some level of depth like this

I don't think Tim, much like Bruce, would worry much about this, but would still smell good everywhere he goes and this scent is safe enough to wear in most settings.

Duke -

A well rounded gourmand fragrance that manages to stay fresh and pleasant. With fruity top notes that blend with the prominent smell of hazelnut, it's warm, playful, and youthful. Sweet and unique but not cloying as it is balance out by a crisp and bright touch. The initial spray of fruit and ozonic notes drydown into sweets and earth in a way that is both bold and comforting.

This is genuinely just a really good smelling scent, and I just know that Duke would smell so good all the time. There is just an element of general likeability that I associate with Duke.

There is something distinct and different about this scent in a fun and carefree-ish way, feels impulsive and fresh like Duke.

Duke is someone who pretends to not be very concerned with this kind of stuff but if questioned will admit to doing a bit of research before purchasing, he probably honestly had fun too.

The sweetness of the initial scent seems to reflect Dukes polite outward behavior while the deeper and smoother drydown that still manages to remain playful fits Duke well the closer you get to him.

Damian -

The scent of Oud blended with rose and hinds of gormound elements like chocolate and vanilla. A powerful smell that remains very unisex and has a level of class to it. Beside it, a perfume with layers of flowers, leather, and spice. With undercurrents of wood and musk, the scent is more masculine yet still heavily features rose. Very distinct and lush, these scents are both deep, dark, and sweet.

Clearly there are two bottles here, but that's for the specific reasons that I think Damian would be more accustomed to using Oud over cologne, but would try both, and that I think he would genuinely enjoy picking scents.

I know in canon that Talia tends to have a floral scent (Jasmine and Rose of Taif) so I wanted Damian to follow in her footsteps in that way, though not exactly, so I figured maybe standard rose

Damian, much like Bruce and Tim, would probably have his own signature custom scent but it would be sort of like these

As Damian transitions further into adulthood I feel like his scent would shift a lot in comparison to the others who would stay more or less the same; A more mature Damian would lose some of the sweetness in the scent in embrace something dark, sharper, and more polarizing like Bruce and Jason I think, but until his like early/mid twenties I think it would be more like this

a/n; Happy (late) Valentines day! I kind of want to think about what they naturally smell like next.are Also this isn't edited so please excuse any grammar mistakes.

Yeowch jumping from foot to foot as I throw a hot pan in the air then catch it again as my hands burn

Arthur knowing about Daegal’s importance and significance to Merlin as he watches Merlin cradle the boy’s head and cry silently when he dies protecting Arthur. Merlin insists that he will be the one to put Daegal to rest but it won’t be in Camelot, not under a Pendragon crest which is like a stab in the heart to Arthur’s already heavy guilt at someone dying for him, someone Merlin deeply cared for. But he understands. (Not really - can’t remember if the boy was a Druid or not but I’m gonna say he was because that makes the most sense bc Merlin was referring to the fact that he didn’t want to put another Druid to rest in a kingdom where so many of their kind has been hunted and slaughtered. Arthur thinks Merlin blames him. He doesn’t. Maybe a little but not really.)

Anyways, Merlin sets off into the woods to bury Daegal outside of Camelot, on the border of the kingdoms so he doesn’t belong to any one nation where his people have been killed. He thinks he goes it alone. Arthur follows far behind. Merlin puts Daegal to rest then kneels by his grave long into the night when magic grows stronger and Daegal’s spirit visits him before departing to the Otherworld. He thanks Merlin for giving him something he had not realized he needed - kindness, compassion, love. He thanks him for putting him to rest and says he is back with his mother now, so he’ll be alright. Merlin watches him go and spends the rest on the night still kneeling beside his grave.

When morning finally comes and he gets up to leave, he finds a horse a few yards down the path with a figure waiting for him. Its Arthur. He looks like he hasn’t slept a wink all night. Merlin slowly shuffles over and watches him for a moment before calling out his name. Arthur turns and takes in Merlin’s bedraggled appearance which Arthur mirrors, miserable and guilty - Arthur blaming himself, Merlin blaming himself, Arthur thinking Merlin blames him, Merlin tired from losing people.

Merlin stares for a moment before asking quietly, “You’ve been here all night?”

And Arthur just stares back and whispers, “I didn’t want you to feel that you were alone.”

Elrond was limp, hanging from the orcs’ hands on his arms. Gil-galad could not see an injury, nothing to explain the life bleeding from his commander. But it had been a long night of battle, and he had not seen everything that had befallen. And the betrayal of a trusted friend was a heavy blow to bear.

The knife's blade was in the flame. Adar had not begun.

The Moriondor met Gil-galad's eyes. Then, carefully, he lifted Elrond's head from where it had sagged down to his chest. He cradled it against himself, pressing Elrond's cheek to his stomach, stroking the side of his face with his thumb as if to comfort.

When I lived in on-campus housing, it was in a historic building that the university absolutely never updated except where they utterly had to.

The fire alarm went off once a quarter (we were on quarters, not semesters), and it was always the first Thursday at ten in the morning. After the first one scared me fucking stupid, I set an alarm.

Anyway, over the summer one year, maintenance came to look at our sink.

"There's a leak we're trying to locate," the guy told me. "So I just need to run your sink while I radio the guy in the basement."

"Sure," I said and let him do it.

"You're not the problem," he said and left.

Several months later, we had to have the wall under the sink replaced after a repair because we ended up with a leak. This turned into several weeks of campus maintenance forgetting about the hole in our wall and having to call and email and call and email until someone finally showed up to, you know, put the fucking drywall back on.

Which led the guy to go, "Hey, sorry it took so long to put this back together."

And me, holding myself together by a very worn shoestring because my kitchen utensils and pots and pans had been on my desk for literal months, went, "Just glad it's all done, now. It's funny we had a leak, honestly because y'all came in during the summer to check, and we didn't, and then this happened."

And this dude goes, "Oh! Yeah, I remember the guys investigating that saying they found it but they didn't want to do anything about it until they moved the fire box and confirmed the leak was the problem."

"I'm sorry. What do you mean?'

"The fire alarm box shorted out because of a leak, and we were pretty sure it was because of you guys, but we couldn't be sure until we moved the fire box and rewired it."

And it hit me as he cheerfully thanked me and left that there had not been a fire alarm test the first Thursday of that quarter.

A couple of weeks ago, I saw an article that that historical building on that campus was being torn down to build new, modern housing, and when I say I cheered.

hey if people are still being weird about your perfectly normal house you can distract them by showing them this picture of *my* house where there is a live electrical wire being used as a support for the plumbing to my basement shower

The Juliana/Florian Problem

In recent games, a lot of Pokemon Protags had become less like characters and more of self inserts for people to customize and such. Usually other rivals (Brendan/May, Dawn/Lucas, etc.) Would have a counterpart and have their own character to base off of.

With Juliana/Florian being blank slates, anyone can fill the void or redesign them and such, and I think that's cool!

However, the issue is when it comes to shipping, with Juliana having the most issues.

It's that their only character REVOLVES around shipping, and they have nothing else!

Like, Mochi Mayhem. Protag gets toxic chained and their desires are revealed? Oh goody, what character development or secrets will they have? Are they secretly tired of being the nice friend? Do they have their own issues they have inside?

What do they want, why do they want it, what's stopping them from getting it, and what happens if they lose?

But in the shipping circle, none of that matters! None of that potential for character development is thrown out the window, when their true desire is that Juliana wants Arven/Kieran/Whoever is being paired with them. And that's it.

That's all? Throughout the story you've set up that these two characters like each other, and then the twist reveal of their desires is what we already know?? We know they want each other, that's the point of the plot!

Second, this issues is more on the male pairings with the protags, like Arven and Kieran. They kindaaa suffer a bit from the fandom.

I don't know why this happens, but in nearly every ship art with Juliana and Kieran or Juliana with Arven has the guys being all super serious and edgy and just.... No?

Like- that is far from how they act!

They're both silly little guys- Arven starts off as blunt and unapproachable, but he's a good friend and a cinnamon roll. He's just a guy who loves his dog, and that's sweet.

Kieran starts off as timid and shy, then went into his "edgy" arc (him just being more serious about battling") and by the end of Indigo Disk, he learns his mistakes and starts to be his old self again and has fun with battling.

But some people in the fandom makes them the equivalent of those evil antihero attitude characters, when they're not really like that.

This isn't an attack on those who DO ship Arven/Juliana or Kieran/Juliana. A couple of people avoid the issues I described above, and that's really cool! They have the characters be in a relationship yet able to stand on their own, and that's good!

I'm merely addressing the people that DO make Juliana/Florian one-note or Arven and Kieran out of character.

Again, you don't have to agree with this. It's just my personal thoughts on this.
