Prompt 271

“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone. 

“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion. 

Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files. 

“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued. 

“Is he coming to the Manor or…” 

Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”

Now wait one moment-

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

Amanda... I miss her.

But I don't trust a single person to write her other than Ostrander/Yale. Like I don't trust them to do it right. Because like it's easy to write her being shady and manipulative and involved in secret government conspiracies. That's what she does. But it feels so hollow once you've seen her character in the way Ostrander describes it. Like she is a woman who is desperate and trying to do what she thinks is right. She has found a place of power (as a fat Black woman in the 1980s) and is doing anything she can to fight and hold onto it as powerful and ambitious men try and steal it from her. So she doubles down. She doubles down on the shady deals and the broken promises and the violence and she destroys her enemies, and loses a part of her soul in the process. And then some other ambitious politician rises up and the process repeats itself over and over and over again as each time she loses more of her morality and more of her soul and more of the respect her colleagues had for her. In place of that she gains more power, she gains fear, and an even more badass reputation. Until by the end of the book the villains begin to understand/sympathize with her more than the heroes ever will. Like THAT is who Amanda Waller is. It may happen subtly, it may happen over a longer period of time but that descent is a critical part of her character! She is a tragic character! And I feel like every perception of Suicide Squad I've seen outside of the original has her as this static villainous snapshot which is just untrue to her core imo. Like she is not a hero. But she is also not JUST a villain. She is a highly flawed character who is always descending farther and farther into villainy as she is led there by what she believes is right.

Both Hatice and Ibrahim are very ashamed of taking/asking something for themselves during the first part of the season, and that's why they're so secretive with Valide and Suleyman respectively, usually excusing their "lack" of personal needs with their close relationships, Ibrahim says he can't think of forming his own family because Suleyman is already his family (oh, the irony of him officialy becoming it w the marriage and that adding a new problem later) and Hatice, when she tries to reject Ayse's ideas of marrying her off, explains she doesn't want to be separated of her mother. Even then, Suleyman & Valide sense that there's something that isn't being told but they chose to think they know what's better for their loved ones and plan in consequence. In the scenes above, they know a little bit of ibro & hati's wishes but not the real cause: Ibrahim's desired travel to Parga is, in Suleyman's mind, something from what his vizier will return to keep on serving him like always, it's not the act of "rebellion" that Pargali is actually planning. On the other side, Hatice wanting the wedding's dissolution is perceived by Hafsa as caused by her daughter's fears of becoming an early widow again, so she's still not rebelling against what has been chosen for her or "destiny" (I find it funny how destiny and Suleyman's & Valide's wills are kind of synonyms atp), so while Valide reassures her of how she has to stay patient, she doesn't see a threat to "the order" (and if Ibrahim contemplating the possibility of not coming back is the threat for Suly, Hatice thinking of dying is it for Hafsa). Both Suleyman & Valide are partly right about tying Ibratice's words to the past traumas (the death of hatice's husband & ibrahim's lost of his family, even if Suleyman can't comprehend the dimension of the dylemma with his origin, conversion, etc), because they're indeed a big part of what it's going on, but they don't perceive the new desires, deeply entangled with the already mentioned pasts, their loyal ones dare to have, so the ruler and his mother can't see the "rebellions" coming at all, and that's why they'll react with a lot of anger once the romance is discovered even if they'll accept it at some point.

There's nothing like having a couple friends who know All The Spoilers about your story so you can ask them for help with your outline. Absolutely no clue what to do next? Need help getting from point A to point B? Need someone with all the context to tell you it's not a stupid idea? Need an outside perspective to tell you if you missed something? Spoiler friend.

There were three stages to my development as a Juri fan.

Stage one, you are 100% pro Juri and too emotionally close to the conflict, and thus it hurts when Shiori does anything. Wtf was Ruka's part of the story even about.

Stage two, you relate to Juri just a liiiitttle too much. And you become a Shiori apologist. Shiori may be mean but she's not THAT bad. I mean, Juri is pretty cold to her too. Surely there's a REASON Juri liked her in the first place. Also Ruka GET AWAY FROM THEM.

Stage three, you are now a fan of both Juri and Shiori but please please please stay away from each other til you've both got years worth of shit figured out. Shaking Juri by the shoulders- i get it, i understand, but GET OVER IT. Cheering loudly at the scene where the locket is cut off. Appreciating Ruka's narrative for shaking them out of their patterns (but still hating him so so much and laughing when he dies offscreen). Get therapy please girls. And then, if after lots of self reflection and improvement you still love each other, THEN... you should keep going to therapy but also add couple's therapy into the mix.

teenage girls on tiktok will have a kindle covered in stickers with a clear case on top and the stickers are all just various representations of reading as a concept and they will be obsessed with them. same with a nintendo switch covered in stickers with a clear case on top and the stickers are all the concept of gaming. they love the concept of concepts so much.

I’m not saying you have to love Laios, I’m not saying you have to even like him, but a lot of the things people say about him are just incredibly mean or straight up ableist. Yes he’s a fictional character but many people, including my self, strongly relate to him due to autism and trauma. Things you say about him being weird or insane or unhinged or stupid or now people are calling him a psychopath?????? Autistic people see these and they won’t hurt the fake anime knight but they do hurt me and other people with autism.

Few things feel as cleansing as deleting the original post that’s taken off and thus taken over your notes, clogging your notifications with tags/reblogs/replies with 75% people with basic tumblr reading comprehension skills.

Suddenly, you can see your other notifications again. And you also can finally stop thinking to yourself “...no, it literally says in the post--”.

my toxic trait is i would rather read an enjoyable cursed book than a literary acclaimed 'good' book, which is why i have read so many cursed books.

Thank you Tumblr for being a hellsite (affectionate) and not a hellsite (derogatory).
