#that's my headcanon and I'm sticking to it

[gothamite-rambler]

Jason has not washed his jacket in a few months due to his hectic schedule… Roy wears a trucker hat.

Roy: I’m not getting in the car until he burns that jacket.

Jason (shrugging): I won’t wear the jacket if you don’t wear your hat.

Harley and Artemis groaned, Artemis visibly aggravated that this argument was happening again.

Roy (raising an eyebrow): What? What’s wrong with my hat?

Jason: You say my jacket stinks, so I argue that your hat stinks and makes you look like a trucker from the South.

Roy (incensed): It does not!

Jason (smugly): Correction, an inbred trucker from the South.

Jason turned away, crossing his arms.

Artemis (rubbing her forehead in frustration): Just take off the stupid hat so we don't have to drive with the windows open again.

Roy: My hat doesn’t make me look like an inbred trucker! It's not my fault he hasn't washed his awful jacket in months!

Jason (scratching his head): It's not my fault you idolize Ashton Kutcher.

Roy (enraged): Take that back, you son of a bitch!

Harley stepped in, pushing a red-faced Roy back.

Harley: Yeah, maybe we shouldn’t sling those types of insults around.

Jason: I’ll stop as soon as he tosses his hat in the trunk of my car. Until then, Florida Man and I will be staying right here.

Roy (insulted, raising his voice): FLORIDA MAN!

Harley: Roy, he doesn't mean that as an insult… right, Jason?

Jason looked at his phone, refusing to leave or admit defeat.

Roy: My hat doesn't make me look inbred, like Ashton Kutcher or Florida Man! You look like a… prostitute boy!

Jason's jaw clenched at the strange but surprisingly hurtful insult, while Harley nervously nibbled her fingernail. Artemis simply nodded at Harley, silently confirming that yes, the argument over a hat and a coat had happened before.

Artemis (whispering as she shook her head): This argument started because Jason can't go to the cleaners.

Harley stepped in front of an enraged Jason.

Harley: All right, all right, nothing said here is true. We've all had a tough day; let’s just—

Jason shoved Harley out of the way and stepped closer to Roy.

Jason: Stinky hat!

Roy: It doesn’t smell like someone sprayed air freshener and cheap body spray on it! So take the jacket off and toss it in the trunk!

Jason: Oh yeah? Your stupid hat smells like cheap hairspray and gel. Stinky hat!

Roy: A bodysuit and a worn, awful-smelling jacket don’t make you look tough!

Jason: Oh yeah? Well, a stinky, stupid hat doesn't help you shoot arrows well! It actually hinders it!

Roy (loudly): Your jacket had maggots in it once!

Jason (even louder): Your hat stinks!

Roy: Brown, cheap leather jackets stopped being cool in the 2000s!

Jason: Your hat is still stupid, and it was never popular.

Artemis let out an exhausted sigh, placing her hands on her hips.

Artemis: Oh my gods.

Jason: I’m not taking off my jacket until he admits the hat has always looked dumb.

Roy: Your jacket looks like you stole it from a homeless man!

Jason: Stupid hat!

Roy: Your coat smells like a dead man!

Jason: Oh yeah? Well, you have a stupid hat!

Jason and Roy continued to argue, while Artemis and Harley glanced back and forth between the two, watching them shout over one another. Finally, Harley jumped in between them.

Harley: Stop it! The both of ya's! Six feet away from each other!

Jason and Roy begrudgingly moved apart. Jason lay back on the ground, gazing up at the sun while Roy sat down on the dirt, a short distance away.

Artemis (checking the time on her phone): Oh my Zeus, we have to leave! We’ve been here for ten minutes, and Bizarro is already in the car!

Harley (mumbling): I’m starting to get why he went to the car now.

Meanwhile, Bizarro sat in the car, listening to opera and observing the scene unfold through the closed window.

Bizarro: They are not arguing about the coat versus the hat again? Geniuses.

Artemis: We’re never going to get to the forest! Just put both items in the trunk, and we’ll wash them later.

Jason: Not until he admits that trucker hats are dumb and fell out of style after Ashton Kutcher left Punk’d!

Roy: Screw you, jerk!

Artemis (sarcastically): Right, glad you guys are acting like adults about this. Harley, do you have any suggestions?

Harley: Well, clearly, this requires a mediator. Which is me. I’ll be right back with something that can fix this.

She strode off, determined to put an end to the absurd standoff.

Twenty minutes later, Artemis drove Jason's car down the road while Roy and Jason rested their heads on each other’s shoulders, fast asleep after Harley had done the meditative deed and knocked them unconscious, tossing the items that had sparked the fight into the trunk. Bizarro sat in the back with them, chuckling at the sight of the two men, finally at peace instead of arguing, before turning his gaze back to the window.

Harley (sheepishly): They won't be mad at me for knocking them out, will they?

Artemis (chuckling): No, we've all had to do it to each other. That just makes you an official outlaw.

Harley nodded with a smile.

Bizarro: Starfire said they were easier to handle; we just got unlucky.

Harley: Right, opposite talk! We did, Biz.

Artemis (genuinely): Harley, I think you're going to make a valuable asset to our team.

Harley: Thanks, girl.

Could you write headcanons for the Lin Kuei trio (Cyrax & Sektor too if possible) with an Autistic reader helping them deal with a sensory overload? Thank you! ^_^

Too Much - Lin Kuei x GN!autistic!reader (headcanons)

in which you experience a sensory overload

a/n: i'm back

ship[s]: tomas vrbada, kuai liang, bi han, cyrax, sektor x GN!autistic!reader (separate)

warning(s): sensory overload (i did my best on research guys), pre-lin kuei split

Sensory overload: "...occurs when one or more of the body's senses is overstimulated to a point where a person is unable to cope."

While it can be used for PTSD and OCD, for the purposes of this fic, it will be related to autism and people on the spectrum

Tomas Vrbada - Ear-clapping

- ear-clapping is one of the more serious mechanisms that could happen with a sensory overload, which involves the person with autism to aggressively clap their ears. in the most severe cases, screaming and crying can occur

- Tomas learned this was caused by very loud sounds

- to help you, he learned that immediately moving you to a quieter area works wonders

- if there were no available quiet spaces, he did his best to hold you very tightly (and i mean very tightly) and cover your ears for you himself

- sometimes, during the severe attacks, you scratched his arm because they were in the way, but he powered through because you would not only calm down, but according to him- "tis but a scratch!"

Kuai Liang - Foot-tapping

- Kuai Liang used to think you foot-tapped when you were annoyed

- it always happened during the meetings where they were held in the old meeting hall, where the flames always seemed to flicker a bit too much

- or it happened when you heard the ancient clock in your shared room tick-tick-tick too much (he had it removed after weeks of back-and-forth between one of the elders)

- Kuai helps you out during these moments by just sitting next to you. he'll even talk to you (only when you say so)

- he learns that holding your hand is the best way to help you overcome the overload

Bi Han - Sensory-seeking Behavior

- Bi Han though you were really odd when he first saw you intensely smelling the unlit candle in your shared room, he realized though it was much more

- Bi Han definitely has "asian dad vibes" because his response to that was buying the entire stock of the candle you liked in case you were going somewhere and had an overload without him

- if you couldn't get your hands on the candle scent, Bi Han juggled ice balls (no you will not correct me on my headcanon that Bi Han juggles). he even mastered how to do multiple ice balls at once

- he learned this was caused by the intense smell of the incense that's burned in the training room. a combination of smelling salts plus some weird potion the elder mages imbued with the salts

- he prohibited the use of it immediately, but you occasionally smell it due to the centuries of use

- still, when you do smell it, he'll help you anyway he can

Sektor - Distraction Behavior

- Sektor thought it was weird that you fiddled with the stylistic wires that stuck out on the back of her helmet, but after learning it was to cope with sensory overload, she was more than happy to help

- sektor made you a personal "sensory toy," a stick with the exact wires that stuck out on one end. you use it often, but when it isn't on you, Sektor has other ideas

- she brought you this toad sculpture made of wood, with ridges sculpted in them for you to touch (you find it rather soothing)

- if it those things aren't present, Sektor doesn't mind that you fiddle with her hand: tracing pictures with your finger, playing with her fingers, etc

Cyrax - Sensory Avoidance Behavior

- after Cyrax watched you shut your eyes as tight as possible while rocking in place after dropping a huge aluminum tube, she felt really really bad

- caused by loud sounds, she learned your overload coping behavior was to not feel, see, or hear everyday sounds

- she made you a helmet that's blacked inside and out, and has incredible noise cancelling abilities

- she also made you earplugs, a combination of technology and soft materials so that you wouldn't be uncomfortable. she paired it with a simple blindfold made with the "blackest fabric dye in the world" (with what funds?)

- while there were days you wanted Cyrax to hold you, other overloads weren't as kind. sometimes you didn't want her with you, and thank the elder gods she didn't take it personal. she still felt bad leaving you alone, so she always left a pillow that was heavily doused in her natural smell

Okay I can't not talk about this anymore– I've got a headcanon/canon-compliant au/interpretation of the Life Series events (as I'm sure many of us do) and the most recent season is working so well I just have to talk about it somewhere

sticking it under a cut, bc I just know im gonna go off and make a long post :P

(I haven't been in this fandom very long, so this is probably not very original, but I don't care! I'm having fun! anyway–)

The Life Series is a time loop. And Grian is the one who's keeping it going.

It was just meant to be a fun game, but then the Watchers found him. They warped Grian's game into their own twisted tournament, with the intent to take the winner as their champion.

They're about to take Grian again, when he reaches out with the power he'd kept locked away, and he resets the world.

Every time the bloodshed stops and the Watchers are about to reap their champion, Grian wrenches them back into the void and forces a world reset.

Except... with every reset, the world cracks a bit more. First, it was the boogey man. Is it the Watchers trying to push their influence on the players? Or is it something else? Grian isn't sure.

It goes until Secret Life. And then Grian is absolutely sure, because the world has shifted enough for the Watchers to slip their claws into it. They've gotten impatient. They want their champion. Grian tries, but there is only so much he can do with the weight of the tasks on his back. His own power is beginning to slip through too– he even manages to bring Jimmy back for a time, even if it's only a ghostly projection.

And then it's over. Grian is dead, drifting in the void.

(I have a scene in my head where he speaks with Mumbo while waiting for the end of the session. he basically tells Mumbo that he's been doing this and he doesn't know how to stop it, because he has to save them all)

And then Scar wins. And it nearly breaks him. Grian hovers over him, prepared to grab him and reset the world, when the Watchers yank Grian back into the void. It's a harsh, eldritch conflict in the void, and it's all Grian can do to hold onto his sanity, and throw his friends into the next loop.

But in it all, he momentarily forgets Scar. Still in the previous loop. He goes back to get him, but it's been an entire year for Scar. He's weary, and barely registers that Grian is real.

This new loop is the most broken yet. But Grian is still holding it all together as best he can. If it weren't for him, every weird aspect of this world would descend on his friends all at once and they would instantly die and Grian would lose track and then he would lose them–

So he holds things back, trying to keep things straight and monitor how his friends are doing. But he's starting to slip.

Mumbo knows what he's doing, and it doesn't sit right with him.

Scar is a victor. And his lonely year has given him plenty of time to regain lost memories.

Ren doesn't quite understand everything, but he knows Grian knows way more than he should.

Grian's not going to be able to hold it all together for much longer.

Currently thinking about a new Kinger-related headcanon. I've went into some detail on it in a previous post, but I wanna bring it up again in that he was a de facto leader of the (as I would call it) original party along with Queenie.

How I initially imagined it is that since Kinger and Queenie were the first, they kinda rallied the party together for Caine's adventures. While everyone kinda initially got along alright, there was one player who was...kind of a douche. He was like a combination of Zooble (he's very cynical) and Jax (he was a jerk to everyone), but worse.

Like, this guy makes Jax look like a saint.

And Kinger was often the target of his ridicule. This player was like all macho, brimming with toxic masculinity and whatever. He saw Kinger as a weak pansy, even using his (Kinger's) chess piece appearance against him by calling him the most weakest and useless one of the group (which is bullhocky).

Kinger, unfortunately, takes this to heart and tries everything he could to help everyone, including using his computer science knowledge to find an exit. Unfortunately, most of the party starts Abstracting due to hopelessness, which makes Kinger try even harder, which would cause a mental toll on him.

The second to last person in the Original Party to Abstract is the jerkwad, who in his final moments blames everything on Kinger.

But, Kinger still tries at least for his wife and his unintentional neglect towards Queenie would eventually cause her to Abstract, snapping Kinger from his obsession and to continue on for the ones Abstracted.

Kinger still has the pictures of the Original Party (including the jerkwad), keeping them as reminders to continue on for them...and to remind him of his guilt...

All of this really makes me believe that Kinger holds some level of survivor's guilt.

This is some angst fodder y'all and I'm riding it like Éowyn riding into the Battle of Pelennor Fields!

Let it be known that if a character is my favorite, then they are more likely to get hit by my Angst Stick, so....Sorry to Pomni, Kinger, and Caine.

And now I want to draw the Original Party...

My first video clip edit (it's just text though 😅)

Branch's autistic traits and moments in a single scene of episode 1 of TrollsTopia because I relate so much!

"Always talks with his hands" is just there on the bottom the whole time because I was lazy and didn't wanna splice that one up. He does always talk with his hands though so I hope it's fine.

Yep, this is my headcanon for Branch! Both movie and TV show Branch, but ESPECIALLY TV show Branch. I'll make a post going more in-depth on this headcanon hopefully sometime soon but for now I hope you enjoy this little video.

[duckapus]

So the whole eating raw potatos thing was totally a Wren Thing, right?

Like I know that he never said the lines since he was supposed to be the Serious Villain, but it only ever showed up as part of the simulation, including being one of the distorted characters he tried to bring to life at the end.

Dude knew could not hide his weird potato obsession so he threw Shroomy under the bus for it.

I'm sorry but Imogen says "Can I kiss you? I can’t tell if it’s alright or not anymore", which implies the kissing had also been done previously, when she could tell it was alright

mob 'can't read social cues so ignores them' vs ritsu 'can't read social cues so overcompensates by being 'good'' vs tsubomi 'couldn't read social cues so memorized & became hyper sensitive to the ones that impacted her most, leading to an imbalance mostly on the negative side' fight*

*don't fight they r all bestest childhood friends in fact, even if ritsu is confounded and afraid of tsubomi

Emphasis is mine but holy shit, Mr. Bird swears like a sailor and Harlock's like "No, we have a 14 year old new recruit in the room ffs!" XDD

This man has a swearing crow thingy. Like a true pirate of old. ^w^

Actually, you know who else could be considered the Barbie of the DC Universe? Pre-Crisis Supergirl. Think about it; she had a variety of skills and know-how not limited to her superpowers. She had been a news reporter, a school councillor, an actress, an Amazon princess (for a hot second), and so on.

She had a lot of costume changes

pics via @comicbookfashion (x)

pics via @dcalloutfitsforaherothingy (x)

The two of them were introduced in 1959 in March (the 9th for Barbie, the 31st for Supergirl)

...

Listen, I'm not saying that they're exactly the same person...Sorry, I guess that's EXACTLY what I'm saying

I'm sick and tired of hearing ice-cold takes that Batman's a Mary Sue.

So what? So what if he's an engineer, martial artist, gymnast, strategist, forensic scientist, hacker, racecar driver, pilot, detective, actor, CEO, etc.

Bruce Wayne is NOT a Mary Sue.

He's Everything. Bruce Wayne is the Barbie of the DC universe.

Anyway here's my pitch for a new batman logo:

[overzealous-imagination]

So while rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender recently, I noticed a trend

A number of spirits we see have an animal form, specifically animals we recognize as "normal" for us. For example:

- Wan Shi Tong is an owl and his knowledge seekers are foxes

- Tui and La are koi fish

- Hei Bai is a panda

-The guardian of the mother of faces is a wolf (The Search)

Heck there's even the talking Baboon spirit and the monkey missing its face that we see in the Spirit World at the end of Season 1.

Basically every time we've seen a "normal" animal, they've been a spirit.

My point? I argue that Bosco is a spirit bear that's chilling and living the good life in the mortal world just because he can.

Josiah Trelawny what the hell are you doing in Scotland?

[pikatrainer99]

The Search For Piece is one of my favorite TrollsTopia episodes even though it makes me cry every time...

...so I sang the song "Pick Up The Pieces" as a way to help with the emotions, and I wanted to share it with you all. It's just my voice, no backing track or anything, but I hope you like it!

No but seriously this episode shows Branch going through (my headcanon) autistic grief so well in my opinion as an autistic person myself who has gone through grief before. Also the fact that he is clearly still not over it and I'm also not over it, and for both me and Branch it has been YEARS since the loss which clearly shows how much (again, my headcanon) autistic people can and will ruminate on stuff like this. Also it's so relatable as I also love jigsaw puzzles and am very good at them, and I also love to do them with my grandma, just like Branch used to. I'm TERRIFIED of losing my grandma because she is my LIFELINE, my SAFE PLACE, and has been for my whole life. I don't know what I'd do without her, but she's in her 80's now and while I know she's perfectly fine and healthy NOW, losing her has been in my nightmares for the past few years because she's just gonna keep getting older and eventually her time will come and I'll be absolutely BROKEN...just the THOUGHT of it gives me so much anxiety that I often get paranoid over it and have panic attacks and constantly feel the need to call her and make sure she's okay JUST to prevent the panic attacks from getting worse (and the fact that it's been EIGHT YEARS now since I lost my Nana, and the fact that that loss broke me up inside and I'm still not over it even though we weren't even close, really makes me fear for the future when my grandma's time eventually comes). So yeah, this episode hits really hard, and Branch in this episode is literally me for real. I watch it whenever I need to let myself actually FEEL my emotions instead of bottling them up because it's just that powerful for me.

But that's just me, what are you guys' thoughts on The Search For Piece? Do you like it? Do you dislike it? Let me know in the comments!

[janestvalentine]

Funnily enough, I have this pet theory that the DOMA/Waking the Dragons arc was originally written for GX; 'cause let's face it, there are WAY too many similarities between that arc and GX's season 2 to be coincidental (hell, Mai and Ryo/Zane's respective fall from grace and heel-face-turn are practically identical).

Plus, Raphael's backstory makes way more sense in GX's timeline rather than DM's...

Call this the Whoopsie AU (it's barely an AU)

I mean. Narinder never explicitly SAID the Lamb would stay dead... :3c He probably should have been more specific. >:3c

Part Two:

Well. The Lamb tried, but...sorry, Nari, the crown hates you now. Shouldn't have been so quick to lend it out, I guess. :D

Aaaand Part Three:

'Isn't he just adorable?' -The Lamb, probably, while their followers smile and nod and internally scream at the brand new hellcat they now have to share living space with...

Anyway, nothing says 'Dead To Me' like following a person around to loudly remind them of how dead they are to you. Right? Right. Narinder's got this all figured out. <:]
