#thinking about it makes me go feral

[uselessnbee]

what i wish people would also explore more when it comes to Percy is the other side of his feelings about his mom about family and his childhood but this fandom is too afraid to paint Sally even in the slightest bad light (even if it's not bad just acknowledging her flaws because she's a human being and not perfect) that no one will touch on that subject. like yes Sally is the best mom but she also isn't and that's the thing! She isn't perfect! but she tried her best but her best still got Percy hurt and it isn't her fault at all but that's the tragedy of it. i want Percy's feelings about this explored. how he grew up with a loving mom but an abusive step father. how his step father would humiliate him and call him stupid but then his mom soothed him and told him he's not the things Gabe calls him. how Gabe would hurt him and Sally would be there to make him happy and loved but at the same time she stayed with him. i want Percy's feelings explored about how he knows his mother loves him but her absence still hurt him. she would work so much to have money to raise him she did that for him but at the same time it meant Percy was left alone or with Gabe. Sally gave up so much for him, she sent him away to protect him but at the same time he was sent away from his mom. she's the only parent he has because his father is absent and Gabe is not actually a parental figure at all but she's also often absent in his life too and that must have left him with such mixed feelings because it's not all black and white! Sally's love protected him but also hurt him. Percy loves his mom so so so much but there's also this deep-seated bitterness and hurt and anger he never let himself feel and then the guilt for having those feelings because his mom loves him he knows that and she gave up so much for him and she married a monster that abused her to protect him, he knows that but it doesn't make it hurt any less. the mess his emotions are because he knows his mom suffered for him and did it from her love for him but he still desperately wishes she never married that monster that he wouldn't have to have the childhood he had with him that he wouldn't have to live with the trauma he was left with. this all is exactly what makes their relationship so fascinating and also heartbreaking.

or the idea of Percy having weird mixed feelings after Estelle is born because that's his little sister and he loves her with his whole heart and would do anything for her and wants only the best for her but there's also this little jealous monster deep down that wonders why she gets to have a loving mom and a loving dad and a happy normal life but he never got that. why does she deserve it but not him? why couldn't he have that too? doesn't he deserve that too? he was just a child too so why why why??? and then the guilt of feeling that way too it makes me want to scream. emotions are fucking messy and they can be really ugly and they can make you hate yourself and there's no way Percy's feelings aren't a mess when it comes to this and i want to see it explored so badly!

and with Sally too! her feelings about Percy because she did so much and tried her best but sometimes unfortunately your best isn't good enough and it still got her beloved son hurt and she hates it and feels so guilty but she just has to live with that but she can't help to wish it was different. that their lives would be different. better. normal. she can't help but to wish she didn't have to do the things she's done, didn't have to suffer so much just to protect her child. can't help to wish she didn't have to worry so much, didn't have to be so scared about Percy, didn't have to be terrified that one day he won't come back home to her, that she won't be able to hold her son anymore because he will be gone, she just wishes he didn't have to suffer so much, she just wishes and wishes and wishes

and i just wish people weren't so afraid to explore this because it's so heartwrenching and yes if you want something do it yourself but unfortunately i cannot write nor am i able to handle this topic in a way it deserves so i am left only with rambling about it on here thank you

i'm exactly as normal about him as I thought I'd be

I am obsessed with the idea of a DCxDP demon twins AU within the context of the alternate timeline from the ultimate enemy episode.

In order for Dark Danny to do what he did he must have fought the justice league and won. Which begs the question, how did the batfam handle that?

Maybe they didn't even know about the twin or recognize him. Maybe they thought he was a clone of Damian. But maybe they did know, or at least figured it out when Damian told them.

Did they try to talk him down? Did they just think he was pit mad like Jason was? Do they believe him to be a vengeful spirit? Do they believe the GIW when they say he is not sentient, just leftover emotions, because it is easier to face than the truth? Do they wonder why he never came to them for help?

Do they think he can be saved? What about after he starts killing other heroes, their friends? Can Bruce call Danny his son after he has killed Superman? Wonder Woman? After he has killed his other children?

Does Damian look at Danny and see himself? See what he could have become if he hadn't left the league and changed? Do the rest of Damian's siblings see that too? What are Damian's last thoughts as his brother kills him?

Demon twins AUs are always interesting and a favorite of mine, but they always concentrate on the good/canon timeline. If they bring up Dark Danny, it is only in passing. I wanna know about the doomed timeline, the betrayal, the story with no happy ending. The story that both happened and didn't.

ranting for a bit because the entire scene where elphaba tells glinda her secret makes me go rabid and actually makes me want to chew concrete because not only is it actually absolutely heartbreaking to see just how deeply elphaba believes all the horrible things her father reinforces; how she thinks she's responsible for her mother's death and is the reason for nessarose's disability even when it's literally not her fault in any way and is actually DIRECTLY her father's fault.

and just the fact that elphaba tells glinda all this and tells glinda her father hates her and that everything's her fault and glinda looks at her and she's absolutely heartbroken to hear elphaba saying all these things and she becomes the first person in elphaba's life to look her in the eyes and tell her that none of that is true and that it is NOT her fault, it was NEVER her fault despite whatever anyone said.

ik a lot of ppl see glinda's "it was the milkflower's fault" line as a very sort of shallow take by glinda (I'm explaining it poorly but ik some ppl wonder why she didn't just call out governor thropp directly) but I've got to disagree with that take because personally I think glinda heard elphaba talking, heard her describe her secret and heard how her father forced her mother to chew milkflowers constantly during her pregnancy all because he was afraid the baby would come out green like elphaba and she heard all this and she hears how elphaba thinks this is all her fault.

and yk they're roommates. glinda sees the way elphaba talks about her father and how even though she says that he hates her in an almost casual manner despite how she says he's justified for hating her, elphaba still loves her father and she still wants to do right by him and she still wants him to love her.

so glinda knows that elphaba will not listen to her if she straight up tells her that her father's fucking mental and completely wrong and that it was all his fault and that she's probably going to bludgeon him to death. she knows that elphaba will never accept this and she knows that right now it won't do any good for anyone.

so instead she tells elphaba it was the milkflower's fault. and she looks her in the eyes and she tells her this was never your fault you shouldn't think this was ever your fault and anyone who ever told you that it was your fault was completely and totally wrong and I need you to know this.

because the primary concern isn't about telling elphaba she's got a shitty dad the primary concern is telling elphaba that it is not her fault for simply existing. and to let her know that there is nothing wrong with her and that there is someone here, right now, who loves and cares for her so so much and wants her to know that. that there is someone who will hold her hand and who will tell her that they are there for her and that she is fine the way she is. that she is loved.

It really is so fun that Essek started mentioning "my partner" like every three lines because he probably doesn't actually get the chance to talk about it that often.

I think there can often be an impulse when you really care about someone to want to shout from the rooftops all the great things you feel and notice about them, and Essek isn't really in a position to do that. The people who he can talk freely to already know him and Caleb, and the people who don't know them likely aren't safe to tell real personal details to. It's one thing to fabricate a parental relationship knowing that there isn't someone to trace that to, but it's an entirely different thing to tell someone honestly about the people you love when any small detail might put them in danger if it fell into the wrong hands.

The Hells are safe to say that kind of thing to—perhaps mostly on a meta level, in that the DM is aware that they are the protagonists—and they also characteristically tend to offer a listening ear to anyone they meet, and I think it's delightful that Essek actually recognized and responded to that.

'lloyd is very weak now and needs to marry so he'll have someone to protect him'- lloyd has the only grandmaster on the world following him around like a puppy. he has the most terrifying motherfucker on the world wrapped around his little finger. he has the one person in the world who can hit an absolute in the head and get away with it swearing in his heart to protect him no matter the cost over and over again.

lloyd made javier watch him die twice right in front of him just to keep him alive. there is no power on existence that could make javier allow anyone or anything to even think about harming lloyd again.

lloyd is fine

Idk what to focus on sweater Chuuya or hot Mori or flannel Aku or the fact that they all look genuinely happy or-

[hazelnut-u-out]

Somehow never caught this before, but does this imply Birdperson’s mom killed his dad and he remembers seeing it?

The fact this memory is somehow tied to Blood Ridge in his mind makes me wonder if that’s part of why he didn’t accept Rick’s advances— maybe even subconsciously. If that’s what this implies, no wonder he had commitment issues. Makes the shit with Tammy hit differently, too…

I know it’s a throw away moment, but I really hope we get a follow up on that… Regardless of what that memory is, it’s dark shit.

Blorbo moment

(Please don't mention the fact that I forgot Molly's star dandruff aka her second most iconic design element)

[cheesecakeislazy]

Okay but…..

What if they kissed here…?? In front of everyone… 😏😳🫣

I need someone to make a small fic where they kissed here and everyone is like “WHAT THE ACTUAL FU-“ or a comic. Please I’m starved. I need food, crumbs, anything please. 🙏🏻

I can't stop thinking about how emotional Ted got during his little speech about his friend who had to watch the Super Bowl alone twice. And how he should have been there. It's been 25 years since he didn't watch football with his friend, and he gets upset when he talks about it. Surely there is more to it than what we're lead to believe by the silly comparison. His body language and way of talking (and the background music) reminds me of the scene in season 2 episode 1: Goodbye Earl when he talks about the dog that he took care of when he was younger. Go watch that scene and then go back and watch the scene from the latest episode from the moment he says "'Cause I wasn't there. 'Cause I "didn't care."" And then note when the music starts when he says : "I should've supported him." The way he's looking down, not meeting anyone's eyes. I don't think he's really talking to the team at that point, he's talking to himself.

I want to know what Ted realised as he was telling that story, because his mood changes, or he lets his mask fall, I don't really know. But you can see the change in the way he looks at the people in the room, and how he gets more and more emotional. To the point where he's not even really looking at the other people in the room. You cannot convince me that is a man who is simply upset about not watching two Super Bowls with a friend 25 years ago.

Watching Larxene’s cutscene and taking in how Sora thinks about Naminé, in this scene and everything before, and I’m putting a Soriku twist on it.

Concept of KH 4 Sora losing his memories and he doesn’t understand what the crown necklace he wears is. He’s constantly wearing it, feeling the need to NEVER let it out of his sight, but he cannot remember why it’s so important or who gave it to him. He tries so hard to recall, but he can’t. Yet when he thinks about taking it off or some people mention it, he argues about it. He says it’s too important and that…he just can’t take it off or lose it.

But sometimes when he thinks really hard, he gets an image in his mind. A man. A man with silver hair looking at him sadly. He wants to wipe that sad look off of his face and make him smile instead, make him look happy. But he doesn’t understand why. Why does he care for this man? He can’t even remember his name! He goes through the KH 4 plot trying to remember the man’s name and others he sees in his mind! But mainly the man. And sometimes in dreams, he sees flashes of memories. The more he digs in his mind, the more he finds.

All but his name and where this necklace came from.

And then Riku finds him, and it’s a lot. Sora feels a pressure in his chest when he sees him and his head feels heavy. He then realizes he looks just like the man in his head! He asks his name, desperate to know, and it’s Riku.

Riku’s here.

And then the whole breakdown happens which throws Sora off. Riku does the “I looked for you. I looked everywhere for you!” and crying like Sora did and such. Sora doesn’t understand and it hurts him because WHY DOESN’T HE REMEMBER??? If this man cares this much for Sora, then they must have a close relationship!! And Sora feels a little bit of it!!! So why!! CANT HE REMEMBER??? I imagine it would basically bother him until he gets his memories back bc he can see the way Riku looks at him, feels emotions towards him but doesn’t know why, and the necklace!!! The necklace is still in his head like WHY???

And maybe, just maybe, Riku would tell him about it and how he gave it to him and talk about the meteor shower and something something that makes his memory come back bc it’s one that’s been pushed down and into the back of his mind but Riku finally fishes it back for him and it’s so important that it brings things back. He helps him find that memory again and get his memory back and yada yada confessions are made and things somehow end okay :).

[nomattertheoceans]

This little exchange lives in my head rent free btw

Because what does it mean?

What does he mean by "You... don't remember me"?

Like, at first glance you might think he's just taunting Sol about them meeting in the apothecary shop, but it doesn't make sense, really. Because why would Qimir bring attention to that first meeting since he's trying to hide his identity?

No, I think Sol has seen him before in a similar outfit, maybe even this very one, a long time ago. Or as Qimir says it, "a really long time ago."

We know that Vernestra was Qimir's master when he was a padawan, and she struck him down in a rather violent manner, and believed him to be dead because of it.

We know that Vernestra was already a master when Sol was a youngling. And yet Sol doesn't recognize Qimir's face in the beginning, so that basically rules out them being younglings/padawans together. My guess is that whatever happened between Qimir and Vernestra, it happened when Sol was just a small boy, a youngling fresh at the Jedi Temple. Maybe Qimir had already deflected and came back, maybe he tried to hurt the younglings (although his reluctance to strike down Jecki makes me think this is unlikely), I don't know. But whatever he did probably led Vernestra to try and kill him, and I think maybe Sol saw it happen.

Qimir certainly seems to think he should remember him. Maybe Vernestra erased Sol's memories of the event, and that's why he seems to sense something but can't quite place it.

I don't know, but yeah this is one of those little nuggets of backstory that drive me insane with the possibilities!!!

I do not think evangelizing on the double standard of women being expected to wear makeup everyday to grown women is actually productive or respectful (provided they are not judging me for not wearing makeup), we can all make our own decisions on how to walk through this world, however, it is true that whenever a woman in my daily life equates making themselves decent and presentable with having a coat of natural makeup on, I do have to viscerally repress the urge to shake them by the shoulders and scream that they've been had.
