#the internally screaming face

[cucuxumusu]

His FUCKING face!!!!

[eghtony]

How about........ some hum!ShellyVee......... huuuuuuuh........

I thought that What If hum!Vee could wear some kind of TVHead mask on her face to cover it during the show? Like, be that one mysterious game-host everyone likes, and whose face nobody ever seen? I think that's a neat idea and i didn't see somebody doing that already, soo...

(yeah and also imagine that TENSION when she just takes her mask off GOSH- yeah of course i'm not freaky! you're freaky!)

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.

Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.

Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.

Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

the thing is. you know Teru’s situation is fucked up. i know Teru’s situation is fucked up. any adult (Reigen) who knows even a fraction of what he has going on knows that Teru’s situation is fucked up.

Teru has no idea. He is so deep in denial that he genuinely and wholeheartedly believes that his life is fine. Great, even! He doesn’t understand why people get so weird when he tells his funny stories about taking down terrorist cells and de facto child abandonment. He’s doing fantastic! Sure, maybe other people would have “complexes” and “trauma” if they hadn’t seen their parents since age nine, but not him.

And this is why Reigen is the only adult equipped to help him! If anyone approaches him from the perspective that he is a traumatized abandoned child who needs help he would shut them down in .2 seconds and refuse to engage. If he felt like someone was pitying him his immediate reaction would be to light them on fire (he wouldn’t go through with it though. because he’s so humble and well-adjusted).

But Reigen can approach the problem sideways. He can pointedly complain about how it’s hard to buy food for one person, and can’t Teru take some of it off his hands so it doesn’t go bad? He can roll his eyes and go oh, of course, your school doesn’t believe that you’re mature enough to do this yourself, what idiots, let me just add myself as your emergency contact so they’ll get off your back. He can keep coming up with Very Important Very Real Jobs that absolutely require Teru’s help aren’t at all an flimsy excuse to make him have fun, no siree. He can talk about how even the most independent adults need help sometimes, so it isn’t a sign of immaturity or weakness if Teru asks for it (yes he is being hypocritical no he will not acknowledge it).

He’s a liar, so he can actually give Teru what he needs.

so in the emperor lwj au jiang fengmian and lan qiren are old buddies, right? So he probably knows what lwj and lxc look like? I'm imagining lwj just rocking up to the Jiang residence as "Prince A-Yuan's nanny" and showing off wwx's hairpin? and JFM sees him - with his adopted daughter's hairpin in hand, matching wwx's story of the nanny - and realizes who he is? JFM is just losing his shit.

Jiang Fengmian, squinting suspiciously: Your hands are very smooth for a nanny's.

Lan Wangji: That's only natural. Prince Yuan is a very easy baby. :|

[Spoilers for The Apothecary Diaries chap 63]

The way I got flustered reading this—

[bloodycyrano]

I've been trying to avoid Dragon Age the Veilguard spoilers, but I just found out about the factions....

And the fact that you can be a Grey Warden.

My brain is swimming with the idea of a Rook that was trained and mentored by my HOF when she(HOF) was Warden Commander in awakening

Like, don't get me wrong, I am INTERESTED in the Antivan Crow background and a few of the others... But Dragon Age Origins is the game that MADE me a gamer and RPG lover. Part of me will always just want to be an angsty little tainted blood goblin with an inescapable fate and nightmares.

I was too busy traveling from New Jersey to Washington DC and Vivienne had the nerve to drop this on the last day of May and I cant scream with 2 other family members in the room

[farshootergotme]

I just need to read one fic in which people actually apologize to Dick. Somehow it's only Bruce that I've seen giving a genuine apology in fanfics and that feels wrong (but also, props to B for that).

Everytime a member of the family is mad at him for a misunderstanding or something he didn't even do, after they find out the truth, they just don't apologize.

It's always Dick apologizing and then everything being okay because 'Hey! We felt hurt first even though it wasn't really your fault, but it's only fair we get away with this now that we started treating you well!' and Dick just... Accepts it. Because of course he will, right? Can't push it, who knows how long it'll last.

They're all being nice to him now, he should be grateful they're attempting to reciprocate his kindness! Look at them hugging when just a few hours prior they were making Dick feel like shit about himself, aren't they lovely?

And listen, I'm all here for Dick acknowledging his mistakes and apologizing for anything he might've done wrong in the fic, but would it hurt for Dick to receive those apologies instead? Why is he always the first one to say sorry? Why can't the others take the initiative for once?

Anyhow, I better end the ramble there.

Point is, Dick deserves apologies. Hugs won't cut it forever.
