#unparalleled existence

[everwistfully]

Objectively speaking; I LOVE thinking abt the body types of the Robins and how it would've come to be. Like Dick??? He'd have the BROADEST shoulders and PROB tits to go with them! Ya know?? Cause of his more excessive acrobatics and his fighting style. He'd be the PERFECT example of the triangle; the broad shoulders to the tits to the tiny waist with the ass.

And Jason??? Jason's just ALL muscle but like that type of muscle that really only makes him look BIG and like only looks muscular when he's flexing. And this would be both a good and a bad thing for him. Essentially he gained all his muscle mass and newfound height while with the league/in the Pit so there's that but also, I'm sure he’s the exact type of person Little Jason thought he'd grow to be so that he could protect all those he loved that he was too small, at the time, to protect. I'm sure he also must have some mixed emotions abt the connections one could draw between him and Bruce without him also growing to look so much like him.

And Tim??? He's just all wiry muscle, a sleeper build, if you will. He's def got the shoulders and defined pecs but because of his overall slender build, you wouldn't notice. He's obvi MUCH stronger than he looks and it THROWS everyone off. And his legs??? Women are JEALOUS! He'd look GREAT in heels. ;) I'm sure that he suspected this would how he'd always be; smaller. But it must be so difficult to accept because of everyone around him (the batfam) and I can only imagine that he tries to draw inspiration from his mother who was in his same shoes but inspired respect and fear wherever she went.

But Damian??? I'm hesitant to go one way or another with him but I LOVE the idea of him, in the end, leaning towards his mother's physical features. He has the traits of his father but features of his mother and he'd feel so put out because of this. He's The Blood Son of The Batman and he can't have features leaning on the lean, fast, and slender side. On the other hand, he could be the carbon copy of his father which has its own emotional turmoil within it. And for personal reasons, I hope he does grow to be more like his mother because I think that while in his fathers care, this will indirectly force Damian to actually discover himself and not just accept to be his fathers perfect shadow until he becomes that shadow.

The thing that gets me the most about intersexism is the fact that... it doesn't matter how many intersex people there are - no matter if they are as common as redheadheaded people or anybody else - when the intersexist sees human bodies and their states as a inherently a political battle, an agenda to be "won," the intersex body will always be an "anomaly," something crude and unnatural, regardless of how oxymoronic the "unnatural natural body" is.

you're SO right, how is it that the best portrayal of many italian renaissance figures comes from a bad videogame from the 2010s

wheezing I’m torn between going truly this is the best portrayal of Leonardo da Vinci we may ever get, and defending AC2 even though I’m a full time Ezio Saga Hater

Movie Night

Author’s Note: I think fondly of this man every single day (real) and it was about time I wrote something for him

You must be dreaming. You have to be. That’s the only explanation that makes sense.

Granted, seeing a movie with your friend, Seungyoun, feels a little bit like a dream to begin with. Mostly because no one else in your friend group can go, so it’s just the two of you, and you’ve been realizing with mounting horror that you may actually have a massive crush on him. And also a little bit because this is the second movie you’re seeing alone with him this week. He’s painfully behind on new releases, he says.

You don’t mind being the only friend available to go with him, even if for secret, self-indulgent reasons. You don’t even have real interest in the movie, either. The entire allure of it is him. If you fall prey to the daydream that you’re a real couple when he orders popcorn to share, that’s your business alone, not his. And if it’s only made worse when he moves the armrest between your seats out of the way, so you can sit closer, no one has to yearn over it but you.

And boy, do you ever yearn. You’re certain you’re feeling enough wonderful agony to yearn enough for two people combined.

He insists you both finish the popcorn afterwards on a walk along the river. The fading light of sundown and the warm, pleasant breeze make everything feel even more dreamlike. You love watching Seungyoun people-watch, love listening to him chat about various and sundry things that come to mind, love that he laughs at your attempts at humor as though he’s enjoying your company. You just like him. You like him a lot, even if you won’t risk ruining the friendship to let him know it. And knowing he enjoys your company feels like a dream to you, too.

But this. This is what’s convinced you it can’t possibly be real life. This, the fact that Seungyoun just took the empty popcorn container from you, tossed it in a nearby bin, and then casually reached down and took your hand. Like he does this every day, like it doesn’t change a thing. You stare down at your joined hands, blinking, thoughts going a mile a minute. A dream. You must be dreaming.

It will hurt worse to wake up if you don’t put things to rights again. You bite your lip.

“Um…Seungyoun.”

Seungyoun turns his head from the river and looks at you. A little smile is hiding in the corners of his mouth. “Hm?”

How do I even set this right, you wonder. “So….this is probably a stupid question, so just, like, keep that in mind.”

That hidden smile curls properly on his lips, his eyes crinkling playfully. “I’m listening.”

He’s listening, great, now how to ask him. “I’m just wondering, I—are w….”

Rip the bandaid off, pal. “Is this a date?”

Seungyoun freezes in his tracks.

You halt, too, stomach dropping with panic. “Ah. Oh no. Okay. Um, please forget that I, uh, said that, I—”

“Yes?”

You stop talking and stare at him.

He looks absolutely flabbergasted at the question. As though it shouldn’t even be a question. “Yes, I…yes? What do you m—why wouldn’t….yes??”

You blink at him several times. Holy…shit.

“Oh,” you finally say.

A slow, incredulous smile grows over his face. He laughs once, a shocked noise.

“I…I told you that you were cute and then asked you to see a movie with me. Twice. In the same week.”

He says this like it’s rock-solid evidence. You blink in confusion. “I…yes, but you’ve told me the cute thing before and left it at that…? And we’ve seen movies together before, just us two.”

Seungyoun bursts into more laughter. “Yeah…those were dates too.”

You gape at him.

He eventually regains his composure, a few stray giggles escaping here and there. There are dimples in his cheeks from his wide smile. “I thought…I figured you just wanted to take it slow….so this is the first time I’ve tried holding your hand.”

He squeezes your hand for emphasis.

Holy god….maybe this isn’t a dream, after all. Maybe you’re just….dumb.

“I…” Your face is on fire. “I’m…I think I must be an idiot. I’m so sorry…”

His grin turns wry. “Tragically for me, I think I’m kinda into that.”

You’re still blinking in shock. “I…well, you are…in luck, because I am just…hah. Oh, my god…”

It suddenly occurs to you again. “This is a date.”

Seungyoun nods, watching you in amusement. “Yeah.”

“Oh my god, this is a date.”

“It sure is.”

Panic ripples through you. “I’m not dressed for a date, like, at all! Oh my god, I’m not nervous enough for a date!”

“Don’t be nervous, what?” Seungyoun laughs, disbelieving. “We’ve done this, like, four times now, there’s no use…?”

“Holy shit,” you mutter to yourself. You shake your head slowly, smile slowly growing.

It occurs to you again. “Wait. With me?”

Seungyoun snorts. “Yes?”

Your entire face lights up. “You’re on a date with me?”

Seungyoun starts laughing again, but you can’t stop grinning. Holy shit. That must mean….he likes you. Seungyoun likes you. He likes you back.

When he finally regains composure again, he squeezes your hand. “So, uh, this is okay, then, right?”

You blink at him, incredulous. “Holding my hand?”

“Yeah.”

You scoff, grinning like a fool. “Holding my hand? Is holding my hand okay? Seungyoun, you could—”

You lean over on your tiptoes and kiss him full on the mouth.

Seungyoun freezes again.

Ah, fuck. You lean back, looking at him nervously. His eyes are wide.

Fuck. Your stomach drops again. “Ah. Oh no. Okay. Uhm, sorry, I should have asked if—”

Seungyoun leans in and presses his mouth to yours, gentle and warm.

Oh god, he’s kissing you. He’s kissing you. Several of your braincells die a happy death at the feeling of his lips on yours.

When he leans back, you blink your eyes open and look at him in a daze. His eyes look hazy, too, gaze flickering back to your mouth.

You both lean in at the same time and do it again. It’s better this time, so much better, and you think you might end up addicted to his mouth, if that’s even a thing—

Someone whistles nearby, and you lean back and bury your face against his shoulder, ears burning in mortification. Seungyoun laughs once, breathless, and eventually his hand squeezes yours again.

“I’ll…make a note of that.”

Your voice is muffled in his shoulder. “Make a note of what?”

He presses a kiss to the top of your head. “That I’m allowed to do that. Kiss you.”

Ah. You gulp, hiding in his shoulder a moment longer before taking a deep breath and leaning back, continuing to walk with him like nothing happened.

“Good. Um. Good.”

You’re still not fully convinced this isn’t a dream. But god, you hope it isn’t. Or you hope you never wake up.

I feel like I'm going to throw up, there's something so wrong with me and with the world. It's not okay, how can anyone be okay

sometimes the way you people talk about Riverdale really makes me feel like you guys are anti-art lmao

[ultraspacetraveler]

Hm. Now that I've started getting settled its occurring to me that most people use Pokemon for their daily tasks including getting around. Making it mildly inconvenient for me to get around large distances as the only creature I really have on hand is The Menace.

Does anyone perhaps have any suggestions for what to look into? Preferably something that can tolerate the harrassment of Menace in question.

2/1/24

Today I:

-caught up w/ another good grad school friend on the last like 6 months of our lives bc we've been bad about staying in touch since we both left Athens in 2022. One day I will visit him in Rome and then we will take the train to visit Genoa and his family villa outside the city and it will be amazing. Can't wait!! Much money must be made in between now and then but I'm working on it!!!!!

-committed a crime and bought alcohol for a 20 year old. Jules's employee turns 21 next week and asked if we could buy him 2 twisted teas so that he could say that he got someone to buy him alcohol while he was underage bc he hadn't ever done that before. he very earnestly asked if he could give me a hug to thank me and I gladly consented. so freaking cute omg. he's such a great guy and I'm really glad that Jules gets to work with him

-stood strong and advocated for myself & Lulu and set up a consult with a vet even though at first they didn't want to accommodate us in the ways that we were asking

[brazen-kenobi]

I just think the scene in 3.15 where Anakin takes control of both The Son and The Daughter while the sky is changing from light to dark and the ground is morphing and his voice gets that double layer when he forces them to their knees is just so, so cool.
