in the mines. straight up “lousing it”. and by “it”, haha, well. let’s justr say. my saneity.

the sheer amount of trauma gwen has gone through compared to the other characters (that we know of) in protocol so far is crazy like in archives they were all kind of dealing with the whole worm situation in season one (martin did get locked in his flat for two weeks and the others didn’t) BUT it was still a threat they were all generally aware of and affected by. GWEN on the other hand has so far had to deal with fucking mr bonzo, learning that she might be indirectly responsible for a gruesome murder, getting chased down by a tattoo gun-wielding fear avatar-thing?? AND is now getting terrorized by [ERROR] apparently and we’re ONLY 21 episodes in. meanwhile sam celia and alice are dealing with mild anomalies like ooooh spooky cases weird drowning person magnus institute oooh!! gwen is in the TRENCHES dude give a girl a break

I'm bad at math, but is Bruce theoretically 38 years old when he goes into the time stream?

Hear me out (and canon likes to fluncate their ages, so this is my best guess without trying to account for birthdays):

Bruce becomes the legal guardian of 9 year old Dick when he's 23. That's a 14 year difference.

Jason becomes Robin when Dick leaves at 18. Jason is 13. That's a five year difference.

Jason dies at 15, and Tim becomes Robin at 13. That's a two year difference.

The age difference between Tim and Bruce would thus be 21 years.

Tim becomes Red Robin to find Bruce at 17.

That means that Bruce had to be 38, right? Why was I imagining him closer to 50?

Adopting so many kids must have aged him

[tarmac-rat]

hahahahahha whatever you do don't think about the fact that in Phantom Liberty Johnny has to watch V sit on an operating chair and get an implant installed against their will for a cause that they never truly believed in and he probably knows exactly how the whole damn thing is going to play out already and this time there's nothing he can do to stop it.

Maybe when he asks you "What's it feel like to be a traitor?", it isn't meant to be an armor-piercing question for V's own morality. Maybe it's him saying "How's it feel to be like me?"

Musical Touken Ranbu: Michinooku ~ Hitotsu Hachisu (Michinooku ~ A Single Lotus)

Here we go! Only a few days after the archive release and toumyu's ninth anniversary (congratulations!)

Michioku, or Michihasu, is a myu I have many conflicting feelings about, both positive and negative. However, I do believe that with the right amount of care in the next Mika-related story myu, the negative can still be cleared. Plus, I'm glad about a lot of things being re-established. The writer does need to step up her game a little on the plot-writing side of things, as well as the understanding-and-respecting-past-myu side of things, but as long as she does, this can still be given a proper place within what was already established.

Keep in mind that these are only the subtitle files, timed and tled to the DMM senshuuraku and the bluray respectively. The archive version will have a talk at the start, so the starting times of the subs will have to be delayed accordingly.

You can find the subtitles and my TL notes document here!

it be like that sometimes

yuu now knows far more about the diasomnia fam than any person should ever know about somebody else’s family so either they have to become a full-fledged member or diasomnia has to kill them there’s no in between

[vaguely-concerned]

making myself a proper healthy & delicious dinner like 'lucanis dellamorte would be so proud of me. not that he has a fucking leg to stand on because he's almost certainly slept all of 50 minutes in the last 48 hours and is more caffeine than man right now, but still'

[kholnt]

the chain but they all come from different "loz BUT _" challenges/speedruns (and whatever challenge they did influences their personalities and how they think about things) the only three that i know is time is from a randomizer, wild is from an any% speedrun & twi is from a low%

it would be extremely silly i think

[gideonisms]

btw when I criticize john for bad parenting I'm referring to everything he did AFTER meeting Gideon. he might not have known she existed for 18 years but the first thing he did after learning was kill someone in front of her then dip her in some necromantic formaldehyde and send her to the battlefield. he wasn't there to give her daddy issues before but he's here now ❤️ truly making up for lost time

~ Batman: Knightfall

A new kind of religious trauma just dropped: getting hypnotized all your childhood by your father to serve as a vessel for the Angel of death, Azrael, for a catholic order.

Also, Jean-Paul joined the batfam because of Alfred. Alfred went "We cannot let that lad be hypnotized to kill people!", told him to fight it and help him save Bruce, and then dropped the kid (he is a student at Gotham U, he is young) on Bruce.

“Ugh,” Harry says, and spits into the bushes again. He’s so tired of being special. Gingerly, he risks straightening up and sighs in relief as the nausea continues to slowly abate rather than making a surging reappearance. “Well. You know what this means,” Malfoy says, and then loudly says, “Yes,” over Harry’s groaned no. “Unless you want to keep puking.” Harry very much does not want to keep puking. “I didn’t,” he says instead, and Merlin help him, he actually gestures to the wildly overgrown flowerbed which he very much did not puke into, like he expects it to leap to his defence and back him up. Harry would really love to know what exactly it is about Malfoy that routinely turns him into a complete idiot. (That’s a lie. He knows perfectly well. He just doesn’t want to think about it.) “That says more about your failure to eat breakfast than it does about your current state,” Malfoy says, folding his arms over his chest. “I was planning to—that’s not—” He’d been meaning to have breakfast, he just hadn’t got around to it before the call from Robards had come in. “I know you, Harry,” Malfoy says smugly. It’s true, after all, and isn’t that a thought? Five years of friendship, plus an extra two with benefits, and Malfoy knows him nearly as well as Ron and Hermione do. Of course, Malfoy ruins Harry’s tender inner musings by following up with, “Now be a good boy and occlude your mind.” “I don’t want to do it,” Harry says, and it comes out as a bit of a whine. “I know,” Malfoy says and turns away, because he knows that if Harry’s reduced to whining, the conversation’s over. He really does know Harry, and the warm soppy feeling that spreads through Harry chases away the last of his nausea, replacing it with butterflies. Fucking butterflies, like he’s a schoolboy with a crush.

when i think about leo's arc in the movie get a little sad, because it's like... all the Leader Lessons leo had to learn were almost exactly the same lessons raph had had to learn in the span of the whole show. i think we sometimes forget that raph had to grow into leadership role as well? he was pretty careless and irresponsible at the beginning too! he didn't trust his team! he dismissed ideas that weren't his own! on his first mission he wanted to pull his younger brothers to fight a spine breaking bandits-! (that also makes me think that leo tried to emulate raph's leadership pre his character arcs, from before he became "killjoy". leo chose all the wrong examples to imitate his big bro, maybe specifically because he wanted for things to come back to from before the Shredder) but we don't see the world ending specifically because of raph's faults as the leader...! like ok, i do think leo needed someone/something to knock some sense into him but man. i don't think it had to be this brutal fsdjk

my own reverse robins au has me in a vice-grip I swear. Little Duke Thomas I love you so much.

[shesnake]

like. there's so many individual scenes that are just such perfect reenactments from the books with the actors giving brilliant performances. but zoom out and those scenes are just so ill-conceived and unearned I'm going to be sick
