"Durge and Astarion are canon your honor!"

Well canon Durge is a white male dragonborn sorcerer and yet y'all are making cute little drow girlies and sexy little tiefling twinks to get at that extra content so what's the truth?

Oh that your personal preferences are somehow more canon than someone else's because the devs didn't have enough time to write extra content for every companion, leaving an unfair and imbalanced emphasis on the one character that did get extra content? That you feel your choices are validated because they're reinforced by poor planning/game design? Hmm. Hmm. Hmmmm 🤔

I’m thinking a lot about in my Sons of Anarchy AU about how Bruce’s death affects his children on such an induvial level.

Dick had never wanted to be like Bruce, but in the end, his death forced him to have his life; to become the parent to his son, to try hold the Justice League together and keep the auto shop afloat. 

Jason had no one to point his need for revenge, formed from his love for his dad, at and subsequently had to deal with the consequence of all that undirected rage.

Cass ran. Cut off all contact. She had been given the stability (loose term) of a home, a support network, and of a somewhat normal life, but Bruce died and in her grief she decided she couldn’t be apart of something like that anymore so once again she was alone.

Tim obsessively thought the impossible, Bruce was alive, to the point of it almost killing him. Jason hadn't actually died so Bruce also must be alive too. He had only lost his parents a couple of years earlier, he couldn't loose another person. But when he is proven without a doubt that he is wrong, all that obsession turns to grief.

Damian had only known his father for barely three years. And when he met his father he cried tears of joy for Jason and not for him. Dick cried tears of joy for him though, many times, and Damian knows that Dick loves him in every stupid little thing he does. He just doesn’t think his father ever had. (its hard understand that people love different from the memories of a child.)

Day 4: Under-appreciated OC

I was gonna say Berylis but now that her story’s beginning to cook, the under-appreciated OC award now goes to Lance (aka. the original Kid Wing):

Although he is the renewed director and playwright of Teen Troupe, he is an enigma for his daughter, Teen Wing, to crack open.

What’s her childhood really like? When did dad become a big fan of (og) Kid Wing? How did he really fight? Where is the Legendary Super Wing Vicky modeled after based on those childhood documentaries now? Why did (og) Kid Wing disappear? Who is the plane wearing Rakumo’s mask next to dad on that clear frame?

(Psst: don’t tell him about how artists can’t get his face mask right.)

i think hermitcraft should have the equivalent of that 'regular guy does the olympics as a reference point for how good the olympians are' where it's just like. person who plays minecraft often enough to know what it is but that's it. they're not bad at the game but they're not about to reinvent the block while they play. around them are feats of divine architecture and world breaking redstone and cinema level plot lines and meanwhile they are living in a lovely one story one room wood house, they just made themselves a diamond chestplate, they are having a lovely day wandering around and complimenting everyone else's builds and politely declining every other hermits' offer to build a base for them

Is it normal to ask a question at work via email to multiple professionals who have more expertise in the particular area, get a response from one of those individuals, find out you might have sent some of the wrong people your question email, and then spend the rest of the day panicking because if you think you look stupid? Even though one of the people you emailed was in fact the correct person to email, and that person helped you figure out what actually was going on because you didn't know what it was because you were not the specialist in that area, which is why you emailed three people because you knew one of those three would be the specialist that could help you? And one person was the specialist, who came and was able to help you figure out the next steps to work through the situation?

This can't be normal. I feel like normal people don't focus on whether or not they look stupid when they first of all got the answer to their question, and second of all did indeed find one of the people out of their email who could help them answer the question.

i love stobin working retail jobs and sharing a resume so much but consider this. steve follows robin to bloomington, indianapolis, west lafayette, wherever she decides to go and they get a little apartment. maybe they decide to go out of state but i think they stay in the midwest. then st takes a page from buffy and steve works construction while robin goes to school.
