#they work so well

[necrotic-nephilim]

i see your jason/helena/roy idea, and raise you a roy/dick and jason/helena becoming a weird polycule. the two couples keep crossing paths and it somehow turns into a roy/dick/jason/helena relationship.

ooooh YES. especially with the canon history of HelenaDick thown in-

bc then there's the joke/angle ppl always take with JayRoy of "oh Jason keeps stealing Dick's friends/exes", except this time, it's Helena who's Dick's ex that Jason just happened to steal. even funnier if he didn't mean to steal her and the first time they slept together was early on in Jason's Red Hood days and Helena really had no idea that this new guy on the scene had any sort of connection to Bruce or Diick. i think Helena and Jason are a fun couple for "this started as hatefucking but now i go to you if i need to be stitched up and if someone hits on you i'm burning down a building idk what label exists for that, do you" sort of vibe. where they won't say they're dating, even deny they're dating pretty vehemently if they're asked- but also wholly devoted in a "matching each other's freak" sort of way.

meanwhile Dick and Roy have settled into "domestic husbands without a ring" territory. they had their ups and downs in their youth and probably dated as teens, broke up for a few years bc their life paths took them in different directions, but came back together through Dick trying to help with Lian and it naturally worked out into a relationship. they still have their issues but they're sort of seen as the old married couple of the Titans that everyone knew was going to get together sooner or later bc they were the only ppl who could match each other's toxic. bc even at their best, these two are still a hot mess who can't process their emotions individually, let alone together. they argue a lot and will get in each other's face, but they always make up. usually with sex.

and i love the idea they just can't crossing paths. it's bad enough Dick has to see his ex, but his ex with Jason? that's even worse. bc there are all sorts of unresolved feelings around Jason. and it doesn't help that Roy passingly blurts out that yeah, he slept with Helena once while they were on a break. so they try to avoid running into each other on all sides, which makes inevitable team-ups even more awkward. i think it's fun if Helena breaks the tension with a crass joke just so everyone can move on. but one thing leads to another and. i think it's funny if they all swear it's a one-night stand. maybe it's not the first time swinging for one or either couple, so this is a little weird, but they swear to never speak of it again and move on.

i think them being unable to stop seeing each other. Roy is in Gotham to see Dick anyway, but now he's definitely around to see Jason and Helena, to "check up on them". and Dick wants to be angry, but he's doing the same thing. these losers cannot stop running into each other. and they can't stop matching each other's freak. Jason and Helena leave dead bodies at Roy and Dick's doorstep like courting presents, entirely uncoordinated. Dick just wants to be asked out like a normal person, Roy is sort of amused by the whole thing. i love the idea of Jason and Helena convinced they're never going to get anything outside of sex from Dick and Roy so they're sort of trying to outdo each other at some point once they find out about each other's antics, just as a running inside joke. neither of them expect it to actually work until Roy mentions that he made a reservation for four, for his next date with Dick and doesn't say another word bc the invitation is obvious.

i do think they could work well as a real polycule too. all of these characters have some kind of history and are drawn into each other's weird interpersonal lives. and they'd all be wildly possessive over each other, which makes for very fun sex. anyway you're enlightened for this pairing and i am going to be thinking about them nonstop now, ty <3

Thinking about Remceit (Remy x Deceit/janus)

[calamitoustide]

your love for moonchaser is so infectious, i love them as teenage loves. i think about them growing up as friends maybe and slowly developing into something, like the natural progression of things. and it doesn't last long but it's still so important and beautiful to them, always love between them no matter what

my only goal in life is to spread my moonchaser agenda

and yeah! exactly!! like they have little crushes on each other and it's beautiful and everything they're fourteen for god's sake. they just find so much comfort in each other they are so comfortable around each other so yeah of course they're gonna drink for the first time right next to each other. they're gonna get high together for the first time. they're gonna do all these firsts because james is remus' person and remus is james' they just work like that. but they're young and their love doesn't last forever but it's still beautiful to them. it still means everything to them and they're still so close afterwards. they're still each others people and they've always felt safe around each other.

i just think their love is so fucking sweet it's their first loves and of course they'll always hold it close to their chests.

Nimona (movie) seems to have been made with the realization that it would reach a larger audience of people not necessarily in the more niche demographic of the book. Unlike the book, it does not start with the assumption that you have an idea of what the problem is or what societal issues it is addressing, the entire movie is introducing you to these issues.

and it does a great job of that. The movie does a great job, in my opinion, of introducing the concepts of transphobia, classism, ACAB, religion being used to enforce these things, and respectability politics among other things. While it doesn't name any of these things, it explains them in a way that can be easily used as an example in conversations, and since it's targeted towards kids, will be something that they can and will remember when learning about these concepts properly later on.

The book does a great job of building on those concepts. the respectability politics referenced in Ballister's and Nimona's relationship is a bit more nuanced, they call out the knights in a very ACAB way, the gov corruption goes deeper, Nimona's abuse goes deeper, the Joust is a more nuanced event with a more complex outcome than the knighting in the movie. And this works out really well because the book will not and did not reach such a large audience, it reached people who generally already had an idea of these concepts or people who are interested by the movie and want more.

If you haven’t seen it yet, Evil Anvil has made yet another Life Series song, this time for Double Life! I think it might be my favorite out of the three she’s made! Ahhh she’s so talented like what!?!

I read The Locked Tomb Series and I need to fucking mention that the Qinters are like, really easy to slot into a necromancer/cavalier partnership.

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method
