Prompt:

Actor Au!

Where Batman and Co. are the most popular TV series and they’re currently filming Jason’s death.

Only Bruce goes so deep into acting he breaks down for real upon the part where he arrives at the warehouse and digs through the rubble for his child.

Actually I’m not ok with the fact that Timmy has seen his mother be replaced over and over again, and Everytime he saw the disdain she had for him grow because she kept becoming more like the ideal while he became less and less perfect because he’s human. And for the longest time he’s been the only person behaving like a human in his family because everyone else he loved has been replaced.

Halloween prompts year 2 day 17

A supervillian had captured a supernatural creature in some kind of device, the entity in question looked like a white haired teen from what they could see of him in the glass sphere he was enclosed in.

The villian was monologing about how they would use the creatures sacred powers to resurrect some evil gods or whatever when the heros intervened knocking him away and accidentally started the machine.

The teen screamed as electricity flowed through his body. Tim ran to him searching for a way to turn off the machine when his hand touched the outside of the sphere.

Unbeknownst to the heros, the machine required a piece of whoever was dead to revive them, it could be hair, blood, bone or even...a memory

That was how Tim, as Robin (or Red Robin whoever you prefer) found himself holding not his mom or dad or anyone you might have expected.

No.

He was holding someone he never thought he'd see again. Someone who didn't even think she was real. Someone who was marveling at her new body made of flesh and blood

Annie.

Anyone else getting ready for Netflix letter day on Thursday? @yulecogs had the great idea to send some @incorrect-deadboy-quotes so I've been doing those as well as the normal petition quote letters. Definitely enjoying finding some new favourites while I print them out <3

Keep streaming and keep screaming, friends!

As a fun exercise, I went over all the standard banner characters and attempted to think of actual in-universe reasons for each of them to be featured in this group and make us lose the 50/50 by randomly spawning.

Turns out it's quite wholesome!

Jean

Well, for starters, she probably feels a deep sense of gratitude for the Traveler's help with Stormterror, and still thinks they deserve more than just a few posters for their sibling (especially since the knights were already going to do that anyway). Also, she probably stays up at night (not that she actually even sleeps, she's just stressing while doing paperwork) thinking about how Traveler doesn't have a roof over their head, and is traversing a completely unfamiliar world with only Paimon by his side, "What if they get hurt? Can they even heal themselves?"

We get a 50/50 when the worry gets the best of her.

Diluc

Similarly to Jean, he's also worried about the Traveler's well-being and would like to repay them for their help with Stormterror and the Darknight Hero's Alibi. Also he's extremely invested in the Traveler's quest to find their twin.

And he KNOWS the Traveler is going to end up fighting most harbingers, so he's looking for a rematch, and maybe even a chance to punch whoever decided to leave a kid in a foreign land to act as a spy, in the rain, I might add.

His chances of coming home tend to increase whenever he realizes we're befriending the Fatui (I literally lost the 50/50 to him for the first time during Lyney's banner lol).

Mona

She was practicing hydromancy when she foresaw the Traveler was about to suffer a great loss. Despite knowing she can't change the future, she wanted to at least be there for them, maybe try to shield them from the worst of it.

The "loss" she foresaw was the 50/50, thus creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

She's also low on mora and wanted to help out with a few comissions or ley lines.

Qiqi

She once heard Dr. Baizhu go on an hour-long rant about how the Traveler has no regard for their well-being (Chansheng: Pot, meet kettle), stressing over the Traveler potentially dying a gruesome death with their allies being none the wiser, be it from an enemy or simply a disease left unchecked. The fact that they're outlanders who may not have developed immunity for most of Teyvat's illnesses is another concern of his.

Qiqi then wrote a reminder to check up on the Traveler's health, especially since Baizhu couldn't leave the Pharmacy for that long.

There's also an additional note about how the Traveler is always collecting herbs and other olants, so if she can't find any Violetgrass or Qingxin, chances are the Traveler took them all.

She comes to visit whenever she checks the notes and remembers. Hence the high rate of Qiqis.

Keqing

After witnessing the Traveler being 5 hours late for an important meeting because they got sidetracked with quests, seelies and treasure, she deemed it unacceptable and vowed to set them straight as soon as possible. There'll be no procrastination on her watch.

(Also she wants to repay them for saving Liyue, deciding that the posters weren't enough compensation for everything they went through).

Tighnari

He found out the Traveler is worse than Cyno at taking care of themselves and decided to take matters into his own hands.

His methods range from providing medicine and helping out with traversing the rainforest and other difficult environments to simply anihilating the enemies before they have a chance to land a hit.

He may also appear if he thinks the Traveler is getting Cyno's sense of humor.

Dehya

Like the others, she's also worried for the Traveler and wants to help them out on their journey to find their sibling. She's also completely aware that people are scamming the Traveler for commissions and would like to have a small chat with those scammers. Preferably with her fists.

Also, imagine seeing your friend off to a new region and then not even two weeks later there's news about them being arrested, and a gigantic flood. She's CONCERNED.

Going insane over the differences and similarities between ‘Hikaru’ and Kurebayashi’s husband and how Kurebayashi’s husband is a metaphor for being forced to stay in the closet and the problems that come with that. I mean, he’s literally stuck behind a door, unable to interact fully with his family. His kids feel like he’s distant, but we know he wants to be with them; he just can’t. He can’t connect with them on that emotional level and it hurts the family. 

I’d like to bring up that the scene with Iori and his dad. The dad pulls away once Kurebayashi enters the room. Kurebayashi is the one trying to cling to the family as it was, a model family with a husband & wife and two kids, but it just can’t exist like that anymore. She’s the reason he’s staying and also the reason he can’t come out. Which is why Kurebayashi thought that this had no hope of ever working, that Yoshiki should just move on from Hikaru completely, but the Kurebayashi we see in those flashbacks had never accepted that her husband died. She tried to keep everything the same, and that’s what will never work. Yoshiki knows Hikaru is dead, and now as we’ve seen, he’s not going to try and make ‘Hikaru’ into something he’s not. 

I think he’s an example of something that ‘Hikaru’ mentions in Ch15: this concept of being alive and dead and then ‘living’. ‘Hikaru’ is dead but he’s ‘living’. Hes living his queer identity, and even though he can’t be fully out, he does have a few people who he knows support him. Kurebayashi’s husband is dead and not living. He’s trapped in the walls of a family home, emotionally and physically distant from his family while desperately wanting to not be, but thinks he has to keep himself away for their safety and health. That’s the difference between them. 

And just to bring this metaphor more around- Yoshiki is alive but he’s not ‘living’. He’s closed off, unwilling to talk to even ‘Hikaru’ about his feelings nor is he willing to really admit them to the audience either. But Yoshiki’s also dying. The more he ‘dies’, the closer he gets to ‘Hikaru’, the more we see about his feelings for Hikaru. I think this manga will end with Yoshiki dead, yes, but ‘living’ freely in a way he hadn’t been able to before.

Edit: nvm on that ‘living’ thing. According to entertext, ‘Hikaru’ never said that </3

late on the elliot mv bandwagon by MONTHS bc i was so scared of Being Wrong but uhm Hey! Isnt it strange that this part was emphasized? Why would there be a reason for an Elliot mv so early on? Why would there be a part with seemingly more importance that was just Not that important in the original mv? why is it that this specific line goes against everything we've learned about elliot so far? what if? what if he IS alive???

pls i have an entire theory i need to release but it has like 500 words and hasnt even touched the tip of the iceberg ohhh i need this man to the the mastermind or connected to the like production team ASAP.... I HATE HIM!!!!

[phatcatphergus]

I still can't get over the fact that Tubbo was completely alone aside from two Fed workers at the funeral of the only person he felt returned his love and then spent the days after being berated and insulted over his feelings all while keeping a smile on his face

[politemagic]

sigh thinking about how iv is definitely a phenomenal cook. he enjoys the experience of cooking in the kitchen, picking a recipe and preparing it accordingly to nourish the bodies of those that he loves.

thinking about how if someone he cares about is sick he's instantly in the car on the way to the grocery store to get ingredients for soup, and he's slaving over that pot to make sure it's perfect.

he scoops it into a bowl, letting it cool a little bit while he prepares a small piece of toast to go with it. Then he's bringing it to them in bed, asking if they need anything else, even though they didn't even ask for the soup (but obviously they're accepting it graciously. he made their favorite, after all).

if the soup wasn't enough, maybe the warmth of his love could heal you

[ruthlesslistener]

If ace and arophobes really are coming back to tumblr then I'm not apologizing for how nasty I'll be to them btw. I've got no plans to seek them or their rhetoric out but if it happens organically then I'mma tear them bitches a new one and I don't care if it leads to them hatebombing me with death and rape threats again like they did when I was 14 and 17 <3 theres 10 million problems out there in the world that need solving but theoretical cishet men 'infiltrating' the queer community ain't one of them
