I’m graduating college in like 4 days so I haven’t been able to work on the soulmate au fic as much as I want, so in the meantime I’m gonna get on my “Demo is really capable and smart” bs and throw out the headcanon that Tavish is a polyglot.

Cause Tav is technically Scottish royalty, right? It’s not relevant for most things but like he did likely get a lot of the finishing training that Royal/upper class folks get, and considering all these other countries with unique languages are right there, language training would make a lot of sense.

So fast forward to Tav becoming the Demoman for Red Team and Mann. Co. He is surrounded by some of the best mercenaries from all over the world, each with their own cultural quirks. And even though they mainly speak English at work, most of them have this funny little habit of occasionally falling into their native languages, especially when they don’t think anyone can understand them.

Which means more often than not, when his European team members start spilling their guts to people who they think can’t understand them, it’s usually within his earshot.

And that means he gets all the gossip on the base. All of it.

Scout heckles Medic a bit too much after a game? That’s how Demo finds out Bonk! Is radioactive! Engie uses the wrangler to steal a kill from Spy? Happens to be the same day Demo learned their favorite Texan is a legacy hire! Soldier keeps calling Heavy a dumb commie bastard? What a great time to find out the tap water has lead in it!

Spy, international man of intrigue that he is, also speaks German on top of French. And let it be said that the good Doctor loves to yap. So, every couple of weeks, two out of the three support classes meet late into the night to talk shit in the common room. Demo crashed this meeting the first time on accident, just meaning to steal some ibuprofen from the med bay for the next day’s hangover, but when they didn’t stop upon seeing him, he’s since made a habit of finding reasons to be conveniently within earshot of their hushed discussions. Ah, so THAT’S why Pyro and Engineer are such good friends!

It’s not all rumors, though. Sometimes, if Heavy gets particularly invested in rereading some of his favorite books, he’ll start to read from them out loud, making himself a nice impromptu audiobook for Demo to fall asleep to in the room next door. Later, when Demo overheard Medic start adding “Schatz” and “Bärchen” to his list of nicknames for their mutual Russian friend, Demo found a way to casually bring up the fact that Heavy had an apparent fondness for old fashioned courting, and wouldn’t you know, there’s a Russian ballet troupe performing a few towns over that he might find interesting.

And as for Spy, well. If Demo heard the occasional grumbles about “un démolisseur avec un beau visage stupide,” then it was easy enough to hide his smile and pretend he had no idea what the other man was saying.

Hi hello, this one interview snippet for born again where Charlie Cox says that Matt is a character that lives in extremes and contradictions while forced to live at an unsatisfactory impasse.

It doesn't matter if he becomes wholly Matt Murdock.

It doesn't matter if he becomes wholly Daredevil.

Because he needs the push and pull from both but even when he juggles these two lives with as much competence as he can muster, it's never enough. It's never enough because in god's eyes there must always be something more to be done, so Matt lives his life condemned to never be enough.

Taco Tuesday: Hazbin Hotel

Angel: (busts into the hotel with five bags of Taco Hell) Bitches, prepare your guts! It's Taco Tuesday!

Husker: Motherfucker, it's fuckin' Thursday.

Angel: To-may-to, po-tay-to, you gonna help me demolish $100 hellbucks worth of bad fast food Mexican or not?

Husker: .......Put me in.

Angel: (tosses bag to Husk) Here, go!

Cherri: I'm all in, dickhead! Toss me a bag!

Angel: (tosses another bag to Cherri) Here ya go!

Charlie: I'll have one or two if you're offering. I've never had Taco Hell before.

Angel: (throws three individual tacos to Charlie) Head's up!

Charlie: Ah! Ouph! (fumbling the tacos) Shit! I got 'em!

Angel: Al, ya in or what?

Alastor: You wouldn't catch me double dead eating that garbage.

Angel: What? You can eat rotten deer, but Taco Hell is too gross for ya? Hmph! (drops a bag in Vaggie's lap) Here ya go, Vags.

Vaggie: Wow, way to just assume I would want my own bag. Is that you being sexist or racist?

Angel: Realist. I've seen you demolish a whole pot of taco meat during monthly taco nights here when you think no one's lookin'.

Vaggie: And I fully intend to obliterate this bag, which doesn't change my initial statement. (unwraps a taco and practically inhales it)

Angel: Yeah, that's what I thought. Big Daddy Luci want in?

Charlie: (slowly eating her first taco and shakes her head) Mm-mm. Dad doesn't do well with spices or hispanic cuisine in general.... or fast food....

Angel: Alright, well, we got a spare bag for anyone who wants more. (digs into his own bag)

Husker: (unwraps a taco and tilts his head left and right to figure out how he wants to eat) Hmmmm.... When you guys eat a taco, do you tilt your head left or right?

Vaggie: (already halfway through her bag) Neither, the thighs typically keep my head firmly in place.

-Record Screech-

Hazbins: (absolutely shocked)

Charlie: (beet red and horns out as she hides behind a taco wrapper)

Vaggie: .......I said that out loud, didn't I?

Angel: Yeah, you did! Hahahahahahaha!!! Playing up that stereotype, ain'tcha, bitch?! This is almost as good as Selma Hayek playing the lesbian taco in "Sausage Party"!!!

I don't know if you read the series Chainsawman but in the most recent chapter one of the characters says some that just screams Nekomama to me: "Children are their parents' property, no?"

So there's this theory going around that Todd Phillips may have flipped the dynamic and made Harley the aggressor/manipulator in the relationship and Joker the down bad one instead. And before anybody gets their panties in a twist, I think we need to remember that this version of Joker is a Loser. Very much a Loser. He's not the aggressive, dominant type we're used to (in his dynamic with Harley). This is a sad, sad little beta male who has severe mommy issues, who has never felt the touch of a woman in his life, and who fully imagined having a girlfriend in the first movie. Do you really think he's gonna be aggressive towards the first woman to pay him any attention? And not only that but a woman who seemingly matches his crazy and perfectly understands him? Yeah, no. He's going to be head over heels, Madly in Love.

Now he can still snap and turn against her because you know, Joker, but I do think that for most of the movie he's going to be giggling and kicking his feet like a schoolgirl in love.

I feel like, in the upcoming days given everything that is going on, it could be really beneficial if everyone (specifically Americans) researched and understood specific tactics such as pinkwashing and imperialist feminism and how many times those in positions of privilege use it to justify harm towards those (countries) they view as "lesser than" or "uncivilized" in comparison to them/their own.

i would love to hear if any readers had theorized guessed events in books 1 - 4? part of the fun with ongoing works is theorizing!

Oh, yeah. Several people guessed that Mad-Eye was real well before it was "revealed," though I guess that's not technically an "event" so much as a canon divergence that becomes evident later. Several people called Draco becoming a duelist as early as Book 3. People will also often pull out little lines or flourishes of description and speculate on what it means for the character's future development, especially Draco's nascent flirtation with Dark magic, often with successful results. Readers also tend to be good at predicting where character dynamics are going. It's so satisfying for an author to read! It feels like a little gold star for planting a seed successfully.

People have guessed stuff that happens in future books, too, but I come from the old school of "if people can grasp and interpret where your story is going that means you are successfully laying groundwork and they are excited to think about it more, good job," There is a different school of thought, which is "readers have predicted something cool might happen, so I must take away Cool Thing, denying readers who predicted it the vindication of being right (which they wanted) and denying readers who didn't a coherent story to begin with (which they wanted). I am very smart."
