#these are really sad

[bee--28]

Welcome to the saga of I infodump my thoughts and opinions and you listen! Charlie Dalton headcannons!!! (I apologize in advance...)

- Charlie's mom has a weird boy mom energy when it comes to Charlie, yet she's almost as absent as his father is. She likes the idea of having a kid but not really having one

- Charlie spent almost every holiday in his room. His father was almost never there, business meetings were the excuse but Charlie had his suspicions. And his mother was always bragging about her successful husband to her sisters. Charlie knew his parents didn't actually love each other but he would've liked it if they tried a little harder to pretend

- Charlie was just sent to another boarding school after his explusion from Welton, his parents didn't care enough to even really notice, Charlie enrolled himself, he wouldn't have but he would be in way worse trouble if his parents found out

- After 7th grade, Charlie's parents didn't stay when they dropped him off at Welton, once he was able to drive himself they didn't even keep track of when he was leaving, he didn't say goodbye to them when he left to go to Welton junior year

- A few years after he graduated, he thought he was stable enough to visit Neil's grave, he was wrong... He even brought Neil's favorite flowers and everything, he took his life that evening

- Charlie wrote to Todd and Meeks for the first time since junior year the day before he did it, he didn't know they would be his last letters at the time of writing it, he never got told Meeks died in war, Todd never heard from him again, he never saw a second bouquet on Neil's grave again either

- No one visited Charlie's grave site, his father was too busy to truly care, his mother was ridden with false grief (she liked the attention), and none of the remaining Poets knew where he was buried

- Charlie used to sleep walk until his father forced him out of the habit, after he got expelled it came back, he had a private room at his new boarding school so no one knew, he managed it poorly but he was never able to kick the habit again

- Charlie had a crush on Knox from their sophomore year, he never said anything and then he was gone, he wrote confessions he never sent, he died still loving Knox, his final thought was that he hoped Knox was happy, even if without him, that's all he'd ever wanted anyways

- Charlie subconsciously forced himself out of liking Cameron by turning it into hate, by the time he realized his crush he'd moved on

- Charlie rebelled a lot, from his sloppy handwriting to talking back to teachers, he hoped his parents would take a moment and pay attention to him, they never did, Welton rarely wrote home, but for him they did, no one replied, the letters were piled up on the counter top, Charlie threw them away when he came home for summer

Welp, that's all I got for now, again, I'm sorry...

Did you know it’s legal in the USA for mattress companies to put fiberglass in their mattresses? They don’t even have to label them! So if you wanna commission me so I can buy a new bed I won’t stop you

au where everything is the same except mabel and dipper have been going to gravity falls every year before the show takes place since like kindergarten.

its a pretty simple premise that derives mostly from my desire to explore interpersonal relationships and the ways a place and people can change from a young child’s point of view. it doesn’t change canon that much either, admittedly, i just wanted to draw childhood friends stuff LOL. ill call it uhhhhhhhh every summer au.

The day FNAF Charlie Emily was shut out..

[gentil-minou]

Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness

Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?

THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT

I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible

Anyways this is all to say that if you find a fic that just makes you want to scream from the rooftops, leave a comment saying that to the author and maybe they will join you and you can scream incoherently together

The final TF2 issue really got to me. Spoilers, but it’s the reveal that all of this suffering and murder and war over gravel and shitty land was for nothing but senseless, bottomless hatred. That the administrator can’t even remember where this revenge plot started as she flashes through different false memories of her parents’ deaths. There was never a tragic backstory or justification, only terrible people doing despicable things. And despite how crass and stupid and unserious TF2 is, the story subverts every expectation by showing the survivors and inheritors willingly breaking the cycle. Ms. Pauling lies to the administrator and chooses not to save her, and finally lets her die. (Hurts even more if you read into the subtext that Ms. Pauling is in love with the administrator.) She lets the final cache of Australium go and walks away from the burden and legacy of a century-old bloodfeud. Hale lets Gray’s daughter go and live her life freely. Spy is the first to arrive at Scout’s house and meet his big family, finally takes off his mask, and helps with the kids. Even Merasmus exhaustedly makes peace with himself and Soldier and chooses not to curse him or something. There’s nothing to finish, no promises to keep, and no one to avenge. The only thing to do is break the cycle and walk away.

It feels odd how happy and warm everything is, but it feels so right and earned. These bloodthirsty, awful, violent men were expendable cogs in a machine of endless violence, and they found a way out. It’s a genuinely great message about letting go the past that burdens you and finding the will and a way to hit the bricks, change, and be happy. Maybe they don’t technically deserve happiness, but they’ve got it nonetheless, and they’re not gonna let it go to waste. They’re still all crazy and violent, but on their own terms now and with people who love them! Smiles.

It's so wild to me how they gave vi such beautiful features but we'll probably never hear them be praised on screen bc only femmes are allowed to be admired for being beautiful

Like they really gave her such big pretty eyes, gorgeous heartshaped lips, long lashes, a soft heart shaped face, a pretty voice and I doubt it'll ever be addressed.

Exactly why I'll continue to talk about how beautiful and special she is to me.

AU where Tim, age nine, walked three miles to his neighbor’s house, held up his bleeding hand to Alfred, and asked if he could please have a bandaid. He got stitches instead, and a hug from Dick, who squeezed him tight and asked, “Can we keep him?”

And then Tim never went home again.

He learns gymnastics with Dick and reads in the library with Jason. He shows Alfred how to reset the wifi and rambles on to Bruce about his latest obsession (shipwrecks), and he never sees his parents again.

Behind the scenes, there was a kid left alone in a mansion while a whole international incident played out. It included a kidnapping, a ransom, a failed hostage negotiation, and two dead parents never coming home.

It pokes at a wound in Bruce when he is told about the Drakes and he has always been productive in tragedy. He knows how to shove the hurt away and build something strong on top of it.

The adoption was seamless. The sell of the Drake Estate was effortless. The trust for Tim. The memorial. The scholarships in Jack and Janet’s names. Bruce does it all methodical and singleminded.

And somewhere. Somehow. They forget to tell Tim.

Sometimes he misses his mom and dad. He misses his old room and being alone in a big house, but months turn to years and he likes it here. He really does. He has brothers here and Alfred, and they say they’re his family. He likes that.

They said they wanted to keep him, so they kept him. Kept him forever.

Then Damian is there.

Tim comes home and there’s a new boy, about the age he was when they got him. Tim asks in a whisper, “Did they take you too?”
