#the muse/the neighbors

I know there's a thing about folks liking to put characters in dresses and ballgowns, but if you ask me a tuxedo is where it's at. It's also where it's at for the Muse too, given that they were formally brought to be in the 1930s-40s, that being the style of the day. Thinking Dark might let himself get gussied up more often if he's gonna get kissed like that every time.

Also one last picture of them both being adorable for luck.

Happy 4/13/2025, y'all!

If the big wigs themselves won't do it, then I guess I'll have to.

idk but to me something so quintessential about timothy drake is that he is your average american teenage boy and as your average teenage american boy he is viscerally and desperately terrified of loneliness. the way he latched on to every single aspect of dick's life in an attempt to be close to someone who showed him kindness as a child, the way he'll lower his distinctly bruce-wayne-shaped walls to let in young justice because once his friends know him they won't leave him, hell the way he somehow keeps up his friendship with ives despite all the times he's dropped off the radar. something about this child is such an achingly yearning beast which adores company that he rips through typical fantastical comic book angst and falls straight back into the behavior of My New Neighbor The Average American Teenage Boy in a way i don't think i consciously realized until recently

Regarding my last reblog about Christian hegemony and holidays. Something I find really annoying is that Germany is officially secular but Christian majority and keeps forgetting it's secular (stores closed on Sunday etc).

And then people get really weird about immigrants and refugees because they think people from other cultures and religions are a threat to us. It's mostly Muslims they're worried about. And they're like "they need to integrate themselves" and I'm like yeah sure learn the language etc. But then they actually don't mean integration they mean assimilation. They want people to if not convert then at least to stop being Muslim because "we're a Christian Country" (we're not, we're secular).

So they get upset when people continue being Muslim and speak their native language at home. But then there are some immigrants, usually with children, who decide to go an extra step and they start celebrating Christmas and Easter. Usually so that the children aren't isolated from their peers at school. I think that's fine as long as they're having fun, you know.

But then some of the same people who want integration to be assimilation still are weird about that because oh? Those strange foreigners celebrate our holidays?? Despite not having grown up with the religion?? But aren't they Muslim??? A Muslim with a Christmas tree??? How strange how wrong!!

So people really can't win no matter what they do.

Kind of random but im uhhhh I just want to dump this here because i have The Nighttime Zoomies™ and it seems like the general consensus from my previous post is that the HN fandom here has somewhat chilled out soooo-

Weirdly enough, as much as I've become disappointed with HN, to the point where I have a weird amount of trouble calling myself a "fan," there's a few things that it did for me that I also can't help but thank the HN franchise for.

Like a really good example is that I used to hate reading and writing with an absolute passion. Like I could only read graphic novels and a short novel occasionally but that was it. And I did like writing at one point but that got harder to enjoy as I got older and I just couldn't do it anymore. But thanks to the HN books, I realized that I don't actually hate it! Just when its for school-

I've also met some really cool and talented people here from this fandom in particular and it's honestly really cool seeing how creative and devoted some parts of this fandom are, and like yeah it has it's Moments™ (/neg) but it's still nice seeing people enjoy HN and talk about it even through the less than pleasant stuff that goes down here occasionally.

It also, for better or for worse, taught me about the importance of maintaining your creative vision and that PRIORITIZING MONEY OVER YOUR EMPLOYEES WELLBEING IS BAD ACTUALLY- (granted that was something I already knew but still. its good to keep in mind.)

So yeahhhhh uhhhhh... Thanks HN. Thank you Carly and Nikita for keeping me hyperfixated for uhhhhhhh fuck about 4 years now? 5? god damn I feel old anyway goodnightdayafternoon-

I have no proof, but I think my anxiety this week can be traced back to my horde of birds dissipating as the snow melted

"You're just too good to be true,

Can't take my eyes off you,

You'd be like heaven to touch,

I wanna hold you so much,

At long last love has arrived,

And I thank God I'm alive,

You're just too good to be true,

Can't take my eyes off you."

At this moment of reminiscense, Dorian and Elizabeth's eyes met, and their smiles mirrored one another as Elizabeth commented off-handedly:

"I think I'm beginning to understand that feeling."

Walking behind the two younger couples, unable to resist cooing over her sleeping granddaughter just as her mother was, June caught little snatches of the conversation, with certain remarks just happening to make her ears prick up a little more, though she never let her face show what she was thinking and feeling, to say nothing of refusing to give voice to these thoughts. As she had told Lon earlier in the month, she had her theories, but at the end of the day, whatever was on Dorian and Elizabeth Gracey's mind was theirs to announce, and she certainly wasn't going to impede upon that.

At the very least, when the party had made it back to the attic, and Randall and Emily quietly took the twins to their room for a nap, she took Elizabeth aside for a moment, venturing to say, choosing her words carefully, "Well, if you do ever feel sick again, if any nausea or soreness pops up again...please, don't hesitate to come to me. I'd like to help in any way I can."

Elizabeth studied June's face for a moment, remaining calm upon this suggestion being put to her-the matriarch's face was just as calm as her own, and there was a gentle sincerity in the way she smiled at her, to say nothing of something of a mischievous twinkle to her eye, a sort of subtle, knowing look that reminded Elizabeth of her own mother, and the looks she would give her one and only daughter when she knew something was afoot.

But even with that look, the mistress of Gracey Manor knew Mrs. June Pace was a woman she could trust, and so she flashed her an appreciative smile, saying, "If anything comes up, I'll be sure to look to you first. Thank you, June."

"Think nothing of it, Elizabeth."

historic event of actually remembering a muse's birthday before instead of a week after??? amazing.

you guys don't understand. Cars need to have their burglar alarm go off for no reason directly across the street from you when you're trying to sleep. It's enrichment for them
