the time between being cast into the Land of Nod and finding Lilith must've been a grueling thing to endure. Forced to wander alone for an indeterminate amount of time with no feasible hope of finding anyone, like, ever because you killed what was one of the 4 people you knew to be alive at the time... I would've gone insane within the week

Often when trans women ask me when I'm performing next, and I tell them that it's a queer/trans event, they will tell me that they'd rather not go because they do not feel comfortable or safe in those spaces, that they have been dismissed or belittled at such events before. Even trans women who are dyke- or bisexual- identified often don't feel welcome or relevant in queer/trans spaces. And whenever a trans woman or ally points out aspects about the queer/ trans community that contribute to these feelings of irrelevancy and disrespect—such as the way our community coddles those who support trans-woman-exclusionist events or who make trans-misogynistic comments—we are described as being "divisive." This use of the word "divisive" is particularly telling, as it implies that "queer/trans" represents a uniform movement or community—a "oneness"—rather than an alliance where all voices are respected.

Prompt 271

“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone. 

“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion. 

Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files. 

“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued. 

“Is he coming to the Manor or…” 

Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”

Now wait one moment-

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

Are you quite sure you wish to resume my lessons? I would not be angry if you found me to be a lost cause. The truth is, you do not need a lesson. You agree. I am unteachable. You are very teachable. You simply do not need to be taught. You already know how to do this. I assure you, I do not.

before i sleep: caduceus autismposting . i think when he infodumps he just gets into his Talking Abt Interest mode and its a little intense but tmn understand and especially beau or jester can handle it. but he like makes very intense eye contact and wrings his hands the entire time with his silly smile and follows whoever around if theyre doing something and tells them, in a weird roundabout excited way, that his family have a graveyard (not a cemetery) and they make tea out of the plants that grow from the bodies and didnt you know that they all make all sorts of different kinds of plants for different teas with unique tastes its all very interesting didnt you know that? and he has told everyone about this in detail several times

Anyone from the HoM crew ever been ‘shloomped’ into the Nomicon? Whether on accident or them purposely opening the book out of curiosity?

(aaaaaaaa ive been agonizing about this ask because) sadly due to Plot Reasons for this au no one had/will have a chance to (so far)! but its such a good idea goddarn (getting schloomped into nomicon is up there with all of them visiting ghost zone!) i might just try to somehow fit that in the main plot xD

you are so freaking big-brained its an amazing idea so i had to sorta doodle it???

Have I ever mentioned how smitten I am with the dichotomy between Saulot "I stayed by Caine's side until the the very end" and [Ventrue] "Caine's chosen grandchilder, advisor and enforcer of his will"? Because there had to be some overlap there. Even if there aren't any (as far as I know) explicit references to them being friends, (other than the fact [Lasombra], Set, [Tzimisce], and Nosferatu were the only named Antediluvians that disliked him on a personal level in Clanbook: Ventrue) they at the very least had to be mildly acquainted with one another you know?

For a long while, [Ventrue] served at Caine’s side, helping him rule over Kindred and kine in the gilded First City. As befit their baser natures, the others of the Third Generation grew jealous of [Ventrue] and his position, particularly the over-ambitious and cunning [Lasombra]. The dark one (as Caine himself called him then) could not abide even theoretical subservience to one such as [Ventrue]. Others resented [Ventrue’s]position as well: the foreign Set, the occult [Tzimisce], the vain [Nosferatu]. For the most part, though, the remaining founders respected [Ventrue] and Caine’s decision to elevate him above the rest. After all, no one disputed Caine’s wisdom openly in those nights. - Clanbook: Ventrue, p. 12.

Of his most loyal Grandchilder, they had to have had some kind of connection - even if it wasn't anywhere nearly as strong as the Saulot/Malkav/Set triumvirate was. One sought to serve Caine and his descendants by looking outward and one, per the Dark Father's personal request, sought to serve by protecting what was within.

Maybe. Maybe they just didn't have all that much in common, now that I think about it. For Saulot, the choice to stand by the Dark Father was just that - a choice. When he was ready to up-and-leave, he was free to do so.

But there had to be an immense amount of pressure for [Ventrue] to simply buckle up his Jesus sandals and Do What He Had To Do for his brothers and sisters because his Grandsire chose him specifically to aid him in such an arduous task. How is one supposed to say no to that? To balk at such an opportunity? Caine's aged wisdom was, at the time, undisputed and he was allegedly very good at the job hefted upon him. Who was he to go against that? Do you think that Ventrue lamented Saulot's wandering? The fact that he had that choice? That he was left to guide his wayward siblings alone? Did he not care and shouldered the burden on his lonesome?

Jeeves: “So you mean to say that you are the semi-childminder valet for your employer?”

Bunter: “Yes indeed! A delightfully loquacious employer?”

Jeeves: “Why yes, delightfully loquacious yet mentally negligable?”

Bunter: “Yes, a mental negligence that serves in fact as a front disguising a finely tuned mind and sensitive nerves?”

Jeeves: *mentally reviewing his time in Wooster’s service*:

“…”

Bunter: “Is that where we differ?”

Jeeves *thinking of The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy; The Ordeal of Young Tuppy; The Indian Summer of an Uncle; every entrance of Aunt Agatha; Aunt Dahlia as a whole; Claude and Eustus in general; drainpipes; swans and every second of time since he entered Bertie’s employment*:

“Yes Mr Bunter I do believe that that is where we differ.”
