teutemp is so funny cuz it’s Gil’s healthiest relationship but only cuz they’re both dead

[snowyh2o]

Was watching a video earlier talking about the loner trope and how it works in fiction and the all the different variations of it when I had the sudden realization that Alastor is a shoe in for this trope.

Like, Alastor is the Loner and Niffty is his Companion/Sidekick/insert childlike character here who’s on a journey with loner trope that said loner is soft for.

He spends most of the episodes doing his own thing, and we always see him as, while a part of the group, apart from the group.

Even his past relationships reflects this somewhat. He comes and goes into their lives as he pleases. Sometimes they’ll seek him out, and other times he’ll seek them out. But (and this is also based on how I read Niffty’s “I really like them!” As “can we stay/keep them?”) he never stays for long, or over stays his welcome. Never really in one place long enough for him to set his roots.

But now something’s keeping him at the hotel. And he can’t just leave like he’d want to. And he’s developing an attachment with the other members of the hotel, and it definitely wasn’t in his agenda to actually like any of the people there that he didn’t already know. But being at the hotel is Different. You can’t help but grow fond of the people you watch grow and develop together.

And this is what I mean by “wanting Alastor to be dragged kicking and screaming into the found family”.

Because there’s just something so satisfying watching a character who’s usually depicted as a lone wolf and who wants to stay a lone wolf developing bonds and attachments that they weren’t expecting and then being forced to Deal With It. Maybe somewhere along the way acknowledging that yes, they actually do care for these idiots, and having that thought or realization tear them up inside because they can’t afford to care and—

All this to say, GET FOUND FAMILY’D IDIOT.

Into the Lupo-verse

First row: We got our boy, the OG 14 yr old Lupo with his default look. All the other variants to the right of him are essentially how he looks when he’s older. Like 16-20+. He sports various twist hairstyles and some piercings that resemble a lot like Hazel’s. I don’t see him wearing other hair accessories other than his headband unless it’s for specific occasions

Second row: Third Eye Lupo AU w/ and w/o headband. Lupo's headband here has an eye pattern. Some say it's redundant......anyways the others next to them are older Lupo in this AU that also wear twists and piercings. I would say he doesn't really have twists cover his forehead on the account of the eye situation

Third row: We got Mercenary 23 Lupo, 23 for short. Has a much shorter and jagged hairstyle compared to the rest. He also has the Ryoma scarf because I love that scarf, it defies the laws of gravity. He sadly has a lil scar on his lip 😔. On the last end to the very right is Bad Timeline Lupo. Pretty much looks the same as OG, it’s just he doesn’t change his hair all too much when gets older. Just gets the one twist on the left side. He also doesn’t get piercings, he usually wears the scouter anyways. BT Lupo tends to share the same eye shape as 16 yr old Yamcha, mainly because he is very tired. His headband is a lot longer than the others too. Also I didn’t feel like drawing it but this Lupo has a mechanical arm……on the center we have The Aether. Very fancy guy that has his carnival themed mask. His headband has two large feather accessories placed on either side, and on the center is a lotus shaped pendant. He has a sparkly transparent silk scarf floating around him too. Very appropriate for a god, how’d he get up there?

And that’s about all the variants I can’t think of aside from 1 I’m not sharing

What possessed me to write this? BoO. Nico opening the door and thinking it was Will, only to be disappointed when it was Jason.

Also, no one would get this, but the title is "The Night We Met" because...

I had all of you - Jason (to Nico)

I had most of you - Will (to Nico)

I had some of you - Percy (to Nico)

I had none of you - Alabaster (to Nico)

Alternatively:

The love that should have been

The love that had been

The love that could have been

The love that would never be (sorry Al)

[everwalldigan]

You know what would be really funny. If Jason had the most normal/conventional food taste out of his siblings (still very far from regular people’s “normal”), he’s stuck in the manor because of an injury and therefore has to witness the culinary WAR CRIMES his siblings consume for sustenance. Since there’s no Alfred to stop them anymore, they have been running rampant.

Jason: What. The fuck. Is that.

Damian, pouring out a green sludge into two cups: father and I’s breakfast smoothie, or did you hit your head hard enough to forget the concept of a smoothie?

Jason, scooting his chair away clutching his water bottle to his chest: yeah I dont know what nuclear reactive, Gotham harbour concoction you so flagrantly bestow the title of “smoothie” on but keep that shit FAR away from me

Tim: *sits down next to Jason, cracks open a can of energy drink and pours it into a glass, pouring milk on top until it reaches the brim*

Jason, with tears in his eyes looking at Dick for help:

Dick: *shrugs, shoving a fistful of dry cheerios into his mouth*

Jason: *turns his horrified gaze to Cass*

Cass: *grins at him toothily with two heaping plates of a full English breakfast sitting in front of her. He has no idea where she got it from. She is using a set of utensils for each plate.*

Jason: *stands up calmly* maybe I should stop looking for the unstable bomb I lost in the manor the other week *walks out of the kitchen, a few moments later a shrill scream is heard*

DPxDC My Brother in the Mirror

Damian doesn't like mirrors.

He never mentioned the fact to other members of the family, but they are detectives and vigilantes, it's their job to be observant. Which, after so many years, becomes a habit.

Damian doesn't actively avoid the mirrors - he has a mirror in his bathroom, he didn't express any discomfort over going into a mirror labyrinth at some carnival they've attended (he expressed disgust over taking part in something so stupid, in his words, but that's a whole another story), and he actually spent a few minutes in front of the funhouse mirrors when no one was looking, watching his own reflection distort in various ways. He also has no problems with his self-image - he doesn't mind pictures of him taken at any time (unless it's Tim, but that's, again, a whole another story), he's drawn a few self-portraits that were rather accurate and he liked them.

He just doesn't like mirrors. For some reason.

His family, both close and extended, never questioned it. They did some gentle research to see if the dislike was caused by some kind of problem Damian was experiencing without telling anyone, but when they found no proof of that, they've just decided it was some quirk of his. Everyone has quirks. Dick doesn't like eating cereal like a normal person, Tim despises sleep, Steph is at war with any color other than purple.

That is, until one day, Tim witnesses Damian sitting in front of a mirror.

He is not even aware of it - the whole family is having a game night, and through some arguments and rearrangements on the couch, Damian ends up sitting on the left side of it, where his back is turned to one of the three mirrors in the room. Tim, who's lost the last round, is slumping in an armchair nearby, pointedly looking away from the screen where Damian and Jason are enthusiastically competing over the first place in Mario Cart. Of course, Tim can't just not watch it since he needs to know their strategies. But turning back around would also be admitting defeat.

The solution? Easy, watch the screen through the mirror.

Which is when he notices it.

Damian in the mirror doesn't act the same as Damian in the room. Out of the corner of his eye, Tim can see the real Damian moving around, shoving Jason with his elbow, fully concentrated on the game, and yelling something. Damian-in-the-mirror is sitting unnaturally still, the back of his head over the couch unmoving.

Tim forgets all about the game when Damian's reflection starts to turn around. Slowly and carefully, eerie in the way the horror movies are, the boy in the mirror turns his head around like an owl, his neck twisting inhumanely.

His eyes are green. Green like the toxic waste, like Jason's madness, like acid in cartoons, like the Waters of Lazarus.

Damian in the mirror smiles, his unblinking, gliwing eyes fixed on Tim, and his teeth are sharp and pointy, and there are too many of them, humans can't smile this wide.

"-im? Tim!" A hand nudges him in the shoulder, and Tim looks away from the mirror, finding Dick standing over him. The noise of the game room returns all at once, and, wait, when did it become quiet for Tim?.. He must have a strange expression on his face because Dick's easy smile falls slightly, and he frowns, "Is everything okay?"

Tim looks back to the mirror, but the green-eyed boy in the mirror is gone, and the mirror only reflects Damian as he is: sitting on the couch.

"Yeah," Tim shakes his head and forces a smile on his lips, "I just zoned out."

"Okay," Dick pats him on the shoulder and gives him the controller, "It's your turn now."

Tim takes the controller and turns around, facing the screen. Tim throws a quick glance at Damian, who had slid down on the couch so his head would not be in the reflection anymore. Tim sees the cold, warning hint to his eye, a clear do not speak of it message.

Tim doesn't like that the mirror is now behind him.
