i once saw this video on tiktok basically saying that percy gets annoyed with monsters more than he gets scared of them because of his years of experience. and i honestly fuck with it. like, this man only feels true fear when the stakes are high as shit, like if the world or his loved ones' lives are on the line. other than that, he's just slightly spiffed that this hellhound bothered him because he and annabeth have a lunch date. or he's only mildly annoyed because he's just trying to spend time with grover on their "bestie tuesday's" but has to hit pause because an empousa decided they wanted a rematch.
#percy just very casually being op#but in the most believeable way#because a lot of the monsters he fights nowadays are just monsters he's already fought three or four times#so this man just does a quick:#🤺🤺 bitch begone! 🤺🤺#and then goes back to scarfing down a hoagie like its nothing#and i love him#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo text post#pjo#percy jackson#pjo headcanon#op percy jackson

I think a lot about Leo standing up for his brothers in the things that really matter to them.
Like- Leo is the one who immediately pushes Mikey and Donnie into finding Raph the second it’s clear that their oldest brother is missing because he knows Raph can’t handle being separated like that.
Leo is the one who stands up for Mikey when Mikey wants to go on a solo mission, actively vouching for him and being the one to convince Raph into letting Mikey go, because being independent and proving himself just as capable of standing on his own two feet as everyone else means so much to Mikey.
And Leo defends Donnie’s honor in particular when his brothers’ intelligence is insulted because Leo is well aware of how important Donnie’s smarts are to him - and how important having those smarts valued and acknowledged is as well.
All this goes right into just how well Leo knows his brothers. For as much as he’ll tease or fight with them, he knows them, and he loves them.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#listen Leo loves his family SO MUCH#and like it’s no accident that Leo is consistently the one to give pep talks that#very notably#are less ‘everyone as a group’ and more ‘all of you individually’#it’s heartening to see honestly and like#it works with how he is as both a person and as a fighter#he knows people he knows them so well he knows how they work what they’re like#which is SO USEFUL for subterfuge AND portal/teleportation strategy#my guy is charming his charisma comes from his understanding of people at an individual level#when he wants to be he is very very good at that#he’s still a teen who is too cocky for his own good at times but that does not negate his stellar other moments#he can be selfish he can be mean he can be rude but when push comes to shove he is so quick to stand up for his family#Mikey’s statement at the end of the movie about how Leo NEVER gave up on THEM is so important because it’s not JUST about the movie!!#that’s Leo as a whole he will never give up on his bros#portal jacked is telling of this too because although it has a lot of comedic moments#never once does Leo stop looking for a way to get his bros back#they’re everything to him#he’s the face man he’s a people person and he’s the number 1 pet turtle which I will discuss the implications of in this essay-#Will also say that when Leo does these moments of standing up for his bros he’s never expecting praise for it#he’s just glad they find Raph he just smiles when Mikey tells him he loves him he never mentions defending Donnie#leo has a tendency to show off fancy glittery moves but his real actions and feelings are sooo much more lowkey#that you have to be actively looking for them to catch them all#and I really really like that about him it’s so interesting HE is so interesting

I’ve had this concept rattling around far too long, what if he struggles to tell dreams apart from reality sometimes. Eventually he finds some evidence of what really happened but there’s a few things where he still has genuinely no idea on what’s real, like that time he broke a hand, or the war
Also another thing, sometimes people just, break into the apartment. He gave up on getting new locks years ago
#you have 3 guesses as to what happened to the guy that broke in#‘how does he not know if he broke a hand’ he heals fast it could just as well have been a bad bruise he got in a Heavy sleep#jus sum doodly doos#i am the op#pizza tower#peppino spaghetti#fake peppino#please for the love of fuck ignore the jankass perspective I stopped giving a shit midway through drawing the room#f I drew too much I’d lose motivation and confidence so I had to bang it out as quick as I could last night so mind the jank#man there’s. so many things that don’t look good in this but if I have any more of a damn about the quality it would never come out#gave*#oh well. someone will like it. that’s all that matters

bro the feminine wiles aren’t even a joke like. im with that anon who thought hellfire gala charles was a woman when they first saw him bc same, that design is insaaaane (/pos). how could u not think that when u see it lmfao. idk whose choice it was to give him a corset but the hourglass figure + female coded jawline combo do not lie. i saw it on pinterest and i was like ohhh don’t lie to me i know an anime girl when i see one- WAIT PROFESSOR X????
and that’s not even to mention movieverse charles ofc. we’ve all seen james mcavoy and his big sparkly kawaii anime eyes, i shouldn’t have to say it. charles xavier is never beating the allegations, i fear
gonna need this ask hung in the louvre i fear
#fave#snap chats#i think you fully had me at 'big sparkly kawaii anime eyes' like TRUE but vjlKJLKVJAKL#i got this ask while i was out getting sushi with my brother and when i say i was near losing it in our lil booth ajvlkeaklj#female coded jawline is INSANE thats just his face 😭😭😭#the hellfire gala outfit does give off like. Space Girl energy though im not gonna even lie. i think its the halo#and corset /who gave him a corset/ like im the last man to criticize another man wearing a corset i promise#but bold decision to do so right in front of my eyeballs#the princessification of charles xavier needs to be studied im so serious when did this start#i really do think its just the cat suit outfits cause when he's got a suit its different#though.. i was gonna lie but even with the beard he still pretty in FoX#and ill be tbh im still mixed on the beard look like for starters youve reminded me he's blonde and i still think thats illegal#and yet .... his beautiful eyes distract me all the same. like whatever you want bbg you can look like a viking if you want#charles xavier having hair is cursed in general bar the movies and because of that i can only imagine him brunette#but he is my problematic wife so ill love him regardless#it'll be very hard to when he has a terrible brad pitt cut in one universe and wears wigs in the other but thats what loves about#anyway hope everyone had a lovely halloween !! i watched all of S1 of xmen evolution with my bro :)#also if i threw together a quick charles costume then you have no proof of that and esp dont ask our sushi waiter mk thanks#ended the night playing a bit of shadow gen .. if i cried a lil no i didnt thats between me and god ....

Still ducking hilarious to me that Zoro & Sanji began their beef because they thought the other was misogynistic and it came to a head of no return when Zoro felt his title of ‘Luffy’s specialest boi’ threatened by Sanji’s comment

BUT THEN!!!!#Zoro takes Sanji’s WE + NEED + HIM (Luffy) SO DUCKING P E R S O NA.

Scenes like this keep cropping up and I cannot help but roll my eyes all the way back into my skull
Don't worry guys, having NEW children fixed him. This famously teaches a violent man to stop hitting kids and makes him no longer feel the need to construct nightmarish scenarios so he can humiliate and embarrass those he has power over. Men whose wives produce lots of babies for them are Very fulfilled and Understand how strong bonds are supposed to be
"Instead of advising him he'd been defensive" is a REALLY INTERESTING way to phrase "got so offended at the suggestion to stop murdering women for their land that he shoved his son's face in a festering wound and told him to leave him to get eaten by maggots."
I wonder how they'd spell something like, "walked through a patch of thorns so that his son would be in physical pain and then belittled him for finding an alternate route because he wanted him to suffer" and "lied directly to his face about why he abandoned him when he realized the child could be useful"
#bones reads dotc#it pisses me off because theyre completely dancing around the specifics of WHY he was so bad#Because NO it wasnt just that he was a little defensive and critical#He was a fucking *ghoul*#He LOVES having power over people and still does#It's WHY he likes Starf they said it on the page#But now they're trying to say that Starf fixed him by producing children#And like... do I have to explain in-depth why that's a fucking AWFUL idea?#Why that's incredibly misogynistic??#Why that shouldn't be taught to kids???#I want to climb up on top of a tower and shout#YOU CANNOT FIX ABUSIVE PEOPLE BY GIVING THEM A BABY#THAT WILL ACCOMPLISH THE OPPOSITE RESULT 100% OF THE TIME!!!!#This is domestic violence 101!!!#This is shit they WARN you about right out of the gate when you approach the general vicinity of the topic of battered women#Abusers get MORE abusive the minute they have some kind of power over you. When there's an assurance that you wont leave#for the fandom that is SO VERY quick to accuse Maple of baby trapping Apple they do not so much as PEEP on this#Or how all of Clear's mates are pregnant within a month or two of making it official with him...................#my post on this man didnt go far enough but i physically could not fit more images into it

Okay but Vash slowly letting himself get used to touching someone again through you.
He’s so hesitant at first. So many people don’t like being touched by a stranger, and he’s probably the strangest stranger on the planet. He only touches you when he needs to – to pull you out of the way of a bullet, shield you from an explosion, catch you from falling off a ledge. He’s old, he’s used to doing this for others, and most of the time, people don’t mind the touch when they’re being saved.
But you’re in it for the long haul with him, and suddenly he’s faced with everyday touches. Handing each other supplies and fingertips brushing. Pats on the back. Pulling him into a hug when you finally, finally shot a bottle off the fence post for practice. He’s jumpy about it all at first, so used to touches being harsher. But yours aren’t. They’re kind, friendly.
And that isn’t to say he hasn’t come across friendly people in his life before. Of course he has. But those are few and far between, so forgive him if he yelps or apologizes a few times for touching you.
Easing into regular touches opens something in him that Vash long buried: he loves touch. Touch is his love language. And the longer you travel together, the more he looks for opportunities to touch you. Dragging you by the hand into a saloon to celebrate another close call, pulling you in for a wacky dance. Ruffling your hair or pulling at its strands when he wants your attention, or just to let you know he’s there. Leaving his hands on your shoulders a little too long. Leaning down to whisper when you’re hiding from some goons, just to feel his lips brush your ear. He’s thrilled the more you allow it, and how you actually seem to like it.
And when you do it back? Holy Hannah. Stars live and burn out by the strength your touch has over him. You sit by him and rub shoulders at the bar, and he stops himself from leaning his whole weight on you. You play with his fingers by the fire of your camp at night, trying to figure out how his robotic arm works compared to his flesh one. When your thumb brushes over his palm, he keeps himself from kissing your forehead. Even if he love love loves (you) your touch, he still knows boundaries. He’ll take whatever you offer. And if one day that involves more that friendly touches, if it means cheek kisses, long hugs, sleeping on each other’s chests, well, he’ll gladly wait for that day to come.
#i just know his love language is touch#but how often does he actually get to indulge in it???#man the first time you kiss his cheek?#stars fly the moons glow the suns explode#i should write an actual drabble with this lmao i actually really like this idea#trigun#trigun stampede#vash the stampede#tristamp#this was so quick and rusty but i need to try writing regularly so im sorry if it sucks hahahhakfjldkajgr;e#vash x reader#vash the stampede x reader#tristamp vash x reader#nova writes

killer eating food in front of horror as a way to taunt him. duuuude do you see this delectable parfait he has in his hands right now. he just put a spoonful in his mouth. horror is scratching at his own arms right now (trying not to jump this bitchass). killer can't even taste it LMAOOO another bite ‼️ imagine not being able to eat food 🤣🤣🤣 killer can't even taste it and enjoy the food but horror can't even EAT food
then horror grabs the parfait glass out of his hands and oh killer you should probably teleport away before horror does to you what undyne did to his eye
#this SOUNDS mean but this is actually just their daily behavior. average horrorkiller interaction#the nice version of this is that killer eats the foods in place of horror#horror cant eat anymore but at least he gets to see someone else he doesnt mind eat. which is ok for now#however that's only a pipe dream for now we get horrorkiller mauling at eachother like rabid animals#something i like about horrorkiller is that they are NOT evenly matched at all#in kist i feel like dust could win if he gives like 400% but with horrorkiller????#NO DAMN WAY‼️💀 horror gives 400% and then killer just knocks him over again like a badly balanced figure#horror's strong but hes not strong enough to do anything to killer that he wont allow#which is just so funny. horror could have his original eye back and be at full power and killer just pins him down again#also people think that horror would hate killer for what he did in smthnew but it lowkey could be equal#like horror's rambling to killer about all the bullshit that happened in horrortale with queen undick and alphys the betrayer bitch#and then he gets to the part where he tricked snowdin into eating humans#and OBVIOUSLY horror's lying and trying to make himself seem innocent but killer's smarter than that#and after all that horror's just given this quick and barely discernable glance of contempt from killer#like MAN killing everyone is one thing but forcing them to eat humans?? that shit was so bad it made killer FEEL in stage 2 💀#it stings. horror doesnt wanna admit it (because WHY WOULD HE CARE ABOUT KILLERS OPINION!!!) but he's lowkey piiiiissed#its a mood swing but not one of those agressive loud violent ones. nah. horror ghosts killer#not that killer tries to get him to talk to him. he doesnt care enough. plus hes an eeeensy bit mad at horror too for what he did#i WOULD say horror gets over it but from what horrortale's shown he can hold 7 year long grudges. so erm#and thats why horrorkiller woukd never happen everyone! alright thanks for watching that's a wrap#you will never catch me talking about horrorkiller in a romantic way horror is an ARO man!!! he doesnt feel romantic attraction dare i say#and he'd rather die than be attracted to killer in any way anyways. and killer's just there. unlabelled uncaring unknowing king#killer doesn't have a stable sense of identity that just makes it even easier to slap a big ol HE DOES NOT CARE on his forehead#tricule rant#killer sans#horror sans#murder time trio#utmv#sans au#horrorkiller

I want a spider X dcu but have Peter working at the league's base in space as a mechanic or a scientist, cause of course they will have the best material and information to help him make a way home. Except that Peter is weird.
Like, weird weird. Like, spider bite kind of weird with a hint of different culture from a different world kind of weird.
Listen most of his interactions with humans in their world is with them cause he's at the watchtower all the time, so his understanding of what is normal is a bit skew, and he probably also got used to acting more spidery, especially when in a lab or sm (courtesy of his time at the avenger tower where he doesn't really have to hide his spidery side)
Then you take into account him having a different kind of humour and a different set of memes and you have the whole justice league thinking he's secretly an alien
#listen#i love spider man x gotham#and i will continue to read whatever fic that have a similar premise you throw at me#but like#i just think it would be neat to widen the horizon#like. just imagine it#the possibilities are endless#peter eats as much as he wants cause he once saw the flash eat three times as much as a normal human does as a snack#he is just a tad but more stronger because of it#and doesn't notice#but others sure does#kinda hard not to when the kid mend the door handles with his hands#he knows a bit too much technology wise#especially for someone his age#but that's must be fine cause these guys have this amazing space base and computers and all#yeah it's a bit outdated to him but it must be cause they are cutting slack#cause being a hero doesn't exactly buy#meanwhile the league is like . what do you mean you made a new element#what do you mean you made a nano suit#what do you mean you have an ai assistant that can go through our firewalls like a knife through melted butter#what do you mean the microwave can now double as quick freezer#what do you mean#they are so confused by him#and unsure where to even start#spiderman x dcu#spider man x DC#peter parker#justice league#can someone write a fic please#would have done so but i suck at writing

I laugh every time someone says Penelope is more of a feminist who understands women's rights more than Eloise simply because she's LW because, be so for real right now, that is such a lie. Like Eloise has her moments and her feminism is very yte and privileged, but at least she takes the time to actually consider from other's perspective, even if she's rude here and there, and appears to make attempts to grow as a character (when the narrative allows her to rather than picking favorites). Penelope exposing secrets and being feared by most of the Ton, especially the women and young girls, for the amount of power she has does not scream feminist to me but go off.
#bridgerton#eloise bridgerton#anti penelope featherington#tbh both of their views of feminism sucks but at least eloise shows potential for growth and won't out you to society for a cash grab#pen does have room the grow but the show does not allow for her to do so so all her successes feel so lackluster#some are quick to call her a feminist just because of few lines that pulled heart strings but will brush under the rug how she nearly set up#daphne to be preyed upon by a nasty man and left marina nearly destitute and alone while pregnant#don't even get me started on her being abliest bc abliesm =/= feminism#same thing with using language that borders racial microaggressions (*cough* kate and simon *cough*)#like you can like pen all you want but i don't think she's really a feminist#and that would be okay bc not every female character has to be had some in the fandom not kept trying to say otherwise

really funny that the entire student body at shujin is immediately convinced that joker is a hardened violent criminal as if he doesn't walk around school with a cat in his bag and says all of five words per day
#persona 5#akira kurusu#ren amamiya#p5#p5 joker#im sure like a million people have already talked about this before... be gentle on me i just played the game this year#but it actually drives me into hysterics sometimes because like#all he does at school is talk to his cat during tests and read books and sometimes sleeps in class#he's so utterly unremarkable and its really funny & also a little sad that everyone is so quick to believe the rumors about--#--him being actually crazy#also like hey man i think i've known people in school with a worse track record than just assault#which is not good....!!! but my point being#its jsut really silly#he's just a guy but like no actually he really is just a guy#with a cat

Will’s looking at him with those tragic eyes, this kid who’s almost as tall as Eddie but seems centuries younger, infinitely more fragile and breakable. And shit, Eddie is not at all prepared to be some kind of queer mentor. He’s barely keeping his head above water with Robin, who doesn’t expect him to be anything other than a peer with a little more experience in his pocket; he’s a piss-poor option for baby Byers, who desperately needs some kindly gay Gandalf in his life. A role model with like, a long-term boyfriend and a city job and one of those yappy purse dogs.
But Eddie’s the only one here, and what else can he do? So he takes a deep breath and prepares to say something really wise and mentor-y. He doesn’t know what it is yet, but it’ll definitely be both appropriate and profound.
“I mean, it worked out for you, right?” says Will.
“Uh,” says Eddie, thrown completely off track. “What?”
“With—” Will flushes, but continues in a low voice. “You know. With Steve, and all.”
“What,” says Eddie again.
“I mean, sorry if that’s…I know you guys haven’t exactly been telling people, but…you know you can tell me, right?”
“Ahahaha,” says Eddie. “What.”
“I think it’s nice, how you guys managed to move past all the high school stuff and find each other. It’s like—a happy ending, right?”
“Right. I mean, wrong. I mean, whatever you think is going on, it’s not. Jesus christ, Will the Wise, there’s absolutely no way anything would ever be—where are you even getting this? We’re not—we’re not.”
“Sure.” Will rolls his eyes, and Eddie is reluctantly reminded that this kid can be a catty bitch too sometimes. “That’s why he was wearing your Black Sabbath shirt last Tuesday, and why you keep Springsteen in your glove compartment, and why his car is parked in your driveway almost every night. Dude, Dustin doesn’t even bother calling Loch Nora when he’s trying to find Steve now, he just goes straight to your place.”
Laid out like that, it’s a little damning.
“That’s—all out of context,” says Eddie weakly. “And—and Steve is straight, anyway. So. Check and mate, Byers.”
Will lets out an annoyed breath. “I’m sixteen, you know. You don’t have to—look, sorry if I’m pushing too much with this, but…don’t lie to me, okay? Friends don’t lie.”
Eddie’s heard the kids say that last thing every so often, like a mantra or some godawful affirmation. He huffs, shaking his hair out of his face.
“Y’know, that little catchphrase you’ve got isn’t the worst rule in the world, but it’s not the most nuanced, either. Ever heard of discretion, kid?”
“Right,” says Will. “Discretion.” He winks at Eddie, squinching the whole side of his face up like he’s never actually tried winking before, and Eddie is momentarily struck dumb with how terrible the effort is.
Just then, Dustin barrels in talking a mile a minute about some idea he needs Will for immediately, yes right now, Eddie’ll still be here afterwards, come on.
As Eddie watches them go, he awards himself one Gay Gandalf point for effort, and negative five million points for the trouble he can smell coming down the line.
(eta: I am a god damn liar. continuation here.)
#this is not the start of a new fic#it's just an unattached snippet#that last ask got me thinking about how Eddie handles his relationships so I wrote up a quick thing with Will#I'm not saying it WON'T get a continuation someday#or even some kind of intro that would give it literally any context whatsoever#but it definitely won't be any time soon if it does#tbh I think it's a bit of a cliche and idk if I can spin it enough to make it interesting for me to write#fic: young man what do you wanna be

Kendra, inwardly: Omg I am so scared right now. I’m going to die here. This freakyass magical creatures about to do me in. And could do so easily, which I am imagining very vividly right now. Those are huge teeth. I am fighting god to hold it together right now. I don’t want to die. Why am I here? Just to suffer, every night I close my eyes and—
Kendra, outwardly: I cast vicious mockery.
#and thus restarts the classic nature versus nurture debate#is she like this bc of those classic burgess genes#or is this a case of constantly snarking off with her little brother#which has hot wired her flight or fight response#to talking shit#she gets a rush of adrenaline and her brain just starts crunching out insults#like do yall remember when she was literally at her job#just going about her normal everyday life#and decided for no reason that the 5 senses test was just straight razor bladed in the candy kind of a situation#which like she was right#but still#meanwhile#as shes actually kidnapped shes just calling this lady a witch to her face three times in a row full on bat at the hornets nest type of dea#fhdw#fablehaven#kendra sorenson#kendra is so afraid all the time#and she only knows one way to handle it#some people count to ten some people disassociate#kendra goes fuck fuck this is so scary#quick whats meanest thing i can think of#technically the bracken scene is notttt a scene shes scared in#but it just cracks me up#she just met this man and shes already calling him stupid#its the one scene during which i ship brackendra#wait!! she does the same move with gavin!#she literally laughs in his face so hard that mr demon prince crumples into wet tissue#shit#is this girlypops flirting strategy too?#girl really just has a one size fits all response button

remember when you hit the brakes too soon! twenty stitches in a hospital room! when you started crying baby I did too! but when the sun came up I was looking at you!
#remember when we couldn’t take the heat#I walked out said I’m setting you free#but the monsters turned out to be! just! trees!#when the sun came up you were looking at me!!!!#oh you were looking at me#😭♥️😭😭😭😭😭#do you ever think about how moments of connection in Taylor songs is so rare#just. that moment when the beloved is looking back AT her —it almost never happens#and when it does she’s so quick to write it down and hold on to it forever#locked in her steel-trap memory#you almost ran the red cause you were looking over at me#I am always thinking about Ann Powers saying that a Taylor song is just Taylor alone with a man creating the world of the Moment#whatever it is#and most of the time it’s profoundly lonely#the thing Taylor does NOT have (I believe) are friendships that go to the core#that are personal and individual —where she is Seen and Loved#and so she’s still looking for it in romance and mostly not finding it 😭#but man there is something so poignant about Taylor writing from and filling in the silences of a space so many women find themselves in#alone with a man who won’t look at them#I have never been there and venture to predict I never will be#but Taylor has lived most of her adult life there#and then the other half doing the work of transcribing it#shakes me to my CORE#anyways to circle back for a second—out of the woods HAS the moment of connection#and it feels as raw and vulnerable and simple as it probably was#like. for a second we really are just in the hospital room with them#when she says—when you started crying baby I did too I can SEE her just standing there#all nearly 6 feet of her probably in her little ski outfit tears streaming down her face!#but it’s still a point of connection because he’s looking back at her in that moment#I have made myself cry
