I love talking about myself.

You ask me questions about myself? I could spend literal hours happily talking about me.

Being a narcissist is bizarre because every so often you see someone talking about what it supposedly feels like to be abused by a narcissist and then they describe... what it feels like to be a fucking narcissist

I've read a few fics where Something Happens (Tim accidentally kills someone) and Tim calls one of his older brothers and they come and help him cover up/hide a body but like,, if Damian killed someone (accidentally or otherwise) Tim would not even hesitate that body is already melting in acid. He has crime scene cleaners on retainer and enough blackmail that they'll never say anything.

Tim has like 7 contingency plans for this Exact problem and he is going to do his big brotherly duty of helping his younger sibling cover up a mistake/laps of judgement.

And Damian is waiting for the other shoe to drop bc this is the perfect time for Timothy to oust him. He broke father's rule and now he'll be sent back

But Tim continues to say nothing and eventually even corners Damian and is like "bestie you gotta c h i l l they know somethings up I can't keep using puberty as an excuse for you" and Damian is like "why wouldn't you use this opportunity to prove you're the better son. To finally get me out of the house and claim your place is the heir" and Tim is like "uh im your older brother this is my job" and Damian is like "it is an older brother's job to help hide their younger sibling's murders??" And Tim is like "yeah absolutely except don't go to Dick or Jason only go to me or maybe Cass if I'm not around I think Dick would have a conniption and we don't want Jason to relapse"

What I am liking about TROP this season is that threaded within the storylines of a fantasy show, there are little messages that feel very current.

Take Celebrimbor, for example. Pretty much every modern educated person can relate to being ambitious on some level, and forgetting what truly matters. We see it happening in the show to Celebrimbor. He is a generally kind, capable elf, with a perfectly good life going on in his beautiful city with his happy people, but he is running after the mirage of outdoing Feanor’s legacy. Feanor did something great with the Silmarils, sure, but his actions later brought terrible grief to the elves. But all Celebrimbor can focus on is the fact that he did something memorable, and that Celebrimbor himself must live up to that. He focused on his own insecurities instead of celebrating his wins, and those insecurities were exploited by Sauron to use him and destroy him and his city.

Young professionals in particular see this happening to them far too often, having to hustle like crazy, asked to live up to nearly unattainable standards, and being forced to lose sight of who they are as people and why their gentler, finer qualities matter. Their insecurities are repeatedly exploited by malicious bosses in their work life, and by toxic relatives and friends and partners in their personal life. I see Celebrimbor as a cautionary tale for these people, including myself.

Have been actively resisting re-reading lionheart lately because my reading list is sooooo long and reading time is soooooo limited, so I was extremely excited to learn about M+G Readings! I’ve listened all yesterday evening while doing chores, and I keep finding myself going back to Hermione having to pretend Draco, Harry, and Ron are girls when discussing her friends with her family. I can’t help but wonder if she made up just really horrible feminine versions of their names to help keep her from slipping up??

On the same note, it has been so much fun to go back to book one just to see how much your babies have grown and matured! They were all such little shits (affectionately) except for our sweet harry, of course.

Hello! Yes! M+G's podfic is a superlative piece of fanwork and the talent involved is off the charts. As someone with zero experience in the field of audio mixing, the whole process reads like magic to me.

The elder Mrs. Granger (not to be confused with her daughter-in-law, Dr. Granger) is, of course, always delighted to hear about her granddaughter's various adventures with Harriet, Veronica, and Darcy.

Ok I wanted to come out and say this but

Yes Alastor is a narcissist. He is incredibly npd (narcissistic personality disorder) coded and I love him for it

However can you guys please stop calling him narcissist without really knowing what npd is? Because I know most of you looked at alastor, saw he had a very high opinion of himself and hes a bad person and labeled him a narcissist based on that

Please do more research into npd and, if you can, speak with people who have npd themselves before slapping narcissist on whatever you like. It is not a fun little character trait, it is a mental illness

Thank you

narc abuse truthers are so funny because ..why would someone who thinks they're better than everyone else decide to waste their time on someone they view as inferior. like i promise you someone who thinks they're better than you isn't going to be putting their effort into manipulating you for no reason ffs XD

Scientists need to study why a bisexual character's arc ends with either death or getting a gay partner lmao.

I really do believe that there are no bad kids, only good kids having a hard time.

That doesn't mean I didn't frogmarch two neighbor kids out of my yard about thirteen milliseconds after they (meanly) dumped dirt on my (younger, smaller) daughter's head. (And I know it was mean because one kid said he didn't want the other to do it to him.... and then goaded him to dump it on my kid instead.)

How about... whatever you're willing to reveal about your relationship with Cooler, I'd like to ask about that. What WAS your relationship like in the past? It seemed pretty hostile, for lack of a better word.

It was complicated.

I used to assume he despised me on principle--or, at the very least, I comfortably ignored the elephant in the room. Now that we've started talking again, much has come out on both sides, none of which any of you deserve to know about.

I'll say the royal family was dysfunctional, and leave it at that.

ngl lie i completely resent the internet obsession with the burden of the eldest daughter and glass child syndrome because ik that's how my sister sees herself, completely ignoring the fact that she was the golden child and was never abused like i was. which was where my health problems started but in her mind she will always be the victim. it's all about money and the fact that i never killed myself like she wanted will always piss her off because i dared to stay alive in such pathetic state and then have my dad pay for trauma therapy oh that's too much for her. and i know she will never grow up enough to realize it wasn't my fault, because she was taught to always see me as the scapegoat and everything wrong. she'll never put that resentment anywhere but me.

Anyway, these guys are the version of Dracfield I'm the most deranged about, because reasons:
