#which is a shame because her stuff is very good

[mensahbots]

one last gif for the pin-lee iconic moments collection

they didn't get to do very much on the show, sadly. there were some good moments. i thought the actor was very good and i loved some additions/changes, but it's a shame so much of their screentime was squandered with ratthi seemingly never-endingly pushing their boundaries and their tv wife being bizarrely uncaring and unattuned to them. is that fun for mainstream audiences to see?

i have a friend who is watching the show without having read the books and told me they dislike pin-lee, and i was bummed but at least could reassure them that the character feels very different in the books. this is fully on the tv script, too. i think the actor 100% could have portrayed something close to how i interpreted book pin-lee's personality and interpersonal stuff in such a fun way, and i'm sad we didn't get to see that. i wanted to see them more abrasive, perpetually taut, crude/cursing all the time and making vulgar jokes, so stressed they're throwing things in private, competent and knowledgable about so much, devastated by bharadwaj's mauling, comforting bharadwaj, flirting with her, having an "old comfortable" dynamic with her whatever adorable thing that means.. whatever... i usually don't get anything i want.

so all the stuff with mensah was a delight to see and so perfectly executed and also totally surprised me, since the mensah crush being a deep yearning is something i've headcanoned since my first exit strategy read, but i assumed the show would just cut the crush entirely or only passingly hint at it via pin-lee's admiration of mensah. i thought the dynamic with mensah was incredibly well written and acted, even though it was different from what i expected. it worked really well for me, and there were so many genuinely beautiful moments there. i also thought pin-lee's dynamic with gurathin was fun and well executed, again different from what i imagined, but definitely some of my favorite pin-lee acting moments/emotions in the show.

the emotional beats with the character were very good, especially the emotional extremes. but seeing their boundaries get crossed and that being played lightly/for laughs and never get even marginally resolved/addressed was disturbing and makes a lot of the show unwatchable for me. i am not at all rooting for tv ratthi's happiness, and every scene with him and pin-lee i need to skip because seeing that is legitimately triggering to me (#just csa/rape survivor things). i also get no joy from seeing them interact with arada, which is too bad because i think if their relationship had evolved just a little more i would have been more invested in the pairing and felt more positively towards tv arada (who i do think has some interesting depth, i just find her largely unsympathetic (shoutout to that little moment in episode 4 that i'm obsessed with, though)).

finally, i think it sucks that pin-lee basically didn't interact with bharadwaj at all. no, i'm not biased (i am a little, obviously). listen i do ship them, but when i write their book stuff, i'm obviously inventing so much. so the tv show could have painted their dynamic literally any way and i would have found it plausible, and it likely would have looked nothing like my fanfics. i write bharadwaj stone! you think apple tv even knows that non-butch stone tops exist? okay i'm getting derailed. anyway, what i'm trying to say is that their tv personalities would have been fun to see work off of each other, even if the show painted the dynamic as strictly professional and/or platonic and/or onesided pining.

we hardly see their interactions written out in the book, so the live action medium could have shown some really fun rapport between them and expanded it in all kinds of ways. it could have looked like pretty much anything, and i feel like we really missed out, since i think it would have been fun, possibly even cute, and the show needed more of that kind of energy/vibe imo. the glimpses that we did get of their dynamic honestly made my chest ache— they're so respectful and kind and caring with each other compared to most dynamics on the show. i could see them being a thing.. a situationshippy flirty mutually emotionally gratifying thing perhaps... but not enough to write tv universe bharadwaj/pin-lee.. maybe one day when i'm less emo about how the writers undermined the mensah-murderbot dynamic.

anyway.... tldr, i would say pin-lee is the easily best character in the show after mensah and deserved better from the narrative or at least more screentime. there were more than a couple pin-lee moments i was hoping to see which were cut but would have worked really well in this medium. if the show gets to es and ft, i hope pin-lee gets to shine like the book character did instead of being overshadowed by .. let's say sociopolitically and economically motivated changes about who takes up time and space in the narrative.

truth be known I was on Pinterest browsing Tudor-era art and this popped up. Oh my days! look at these!

Full credit goes to: ‘kirstenmariechr’ on Pinterest

(She has a few different versions so I thought I’d post a couple together)

The talent! The vision! It’s really wonderful

[whentherewerebicycles]

reading about gentle parenting makes me feel insane. who has this limitless well of emotional energy to offer to their child. also you know that 99% of that emotional management stuff is going to end up being the mom’s burden to bear

Fun fact! I am taking the liberty to say Kofi Young for Pain I Cannot Mend but!! That's not actually how they're listed in the song credits!! For some reason, despite the others being listed by their actual names, they are inexplicably put in the credits as Marius von Raum (as in. The fictional space pirate character played by Kofi Young in The Mechanisms).

This happens a lot for various ex-mechanisms, both pre and post The Mechanisms splitting up (as it did in 2020), tho particularly in the pre-2020 albums, like Half-Sin, Half-Virtue (which Pain I Cannot Mend is from).

Added note after writing this all out: I reached tag limit :(

Challenging you all!

Put your music library on shuffle, then list the first five songs that come up in a poll to let people vote for which one they like the most!

Then tag Tumblr friends to keep the game going!

I Really need to properly draw Christopher at some point but everytime I want to I just look at her in game sprite and weep for her truest form has already been achieved. What's even the point. This is her in the flesh.

bc of the alcohol scene people are FINALLY clocking that Toriel is also kinda shitty. for people who didn't pick up on it this is not new to Deltarune:

Toriel is incredibly stubborn especially about her beliefs and therefore she states very blatently that she is good and Asgore is bad and evil and horrible, meanwhile Asgore himself is a pushover and takes it like a pussy. Because she states it with such confidence people just kinda.. believed her.

Toriel's the one who left and decided to stew instead of actually solving any problems. it took six kids for Toriel to actually try to hold one back. When she comes back like. yeah a lot of this is Asgore's fault but what she says to him then could've been said six dead kids ago instead of basically ghosting him. Even after all of her worry she still doesn't come with you because despite herself and what she thinks, she's just as much of a coward delaying the inevitable as Asgore is.

These themes really continue in Deltarune. While Asgore is definitely too pushy, Toriel refuses to talk to him in any way at all, throwing away his flowers and trash talking him behind his back while also not talking to him at all. Similarly to Undertale she'd much rather avoid and trash talk him than make moves to fix anything.

Even though Toriel kinda does, it's not an argument of who was worse in the situation of either Undertale or Deltarune, if you start counting "sin points" to decide who was worse than you're loosing your media literacy. As far as I can tell at least in Undertale Toriel is just as at fault as Asgore is, even IF she tried and failed years ago and gave up, shutting herself off from the world and pretending it doesn't exist is no solution, and it's almost the same solution Asgore took, even right before he kills you.

We don't know the situation in Delatrune other than Asgore seems to have something he's involved with that Toriel doesn't want to talk about that Carol is "financing", very well could be an addiction of his own.

But I think the blatant alcoholism (that's in Undertale btw, in the alarm clock event she also got plastered) that people who know what alcoholism looks like noticed how Kris (and Susie) act in that scene has made it more apparent than ever that Toriel is an incredibly flawed character and one of her flaws is not being able to see that, something that Asgore does the opposite of where he's always wallowing in self-pity.

Toriel is really good at general mom-isms like making breakfast, taking the kids out, supporting interests, giving hugs, etc. However when actually worrying about Kris' safety and wellbeing she ends up falling short, as people have pointed out when we come home in chapter 4 she doesn't ask why either of them were out so late. Even a controlled state Kris has enough embarrassment and shame about the scene that they hide their face, meaning Kris has shown obvious signs of disapproval before that Toriel has not seen or ignored.

I think that's why her and Sans mesh so well together in an actually horrible way. Sans also likes to pretend stuff doesn't exist and brush stuff off with a joke instead of doing anything until literally the last minute. With how he acts in the scene he may not know, but weather he knows or not he is absolutely enabling her, which weather Toriel knows it or not is why she likes him and keeps him around. Finally a succinct way of saying why I believe their relationship, whatever you believe it is, is a toxic one.

TLDR: the only parent doing a good job here is Rudy unless we learn info later that changes that

IF WALLS COULD TALK

Pairing: Tim Drake x Bruce Wayne's daughter

Warnings/tags: stepcest, suggestive content, damian being a dramatic king.

Synopsis: Tim and his stepsister hate each other. That's a fact, a reality since she was forcibly moved to the room next to his and he was, in return, forced to play babysitter for her. They argue and fight to the point the family prefers to clear away from them. Damian thinks they bring the worst out of each other....until he accidentally comes across the darker, more dangerous truth. A secret that could destabilisize the family as a whole.

He sees it embarrassingly late.

Damian Wayne prides himself on his superior skills above the average people. His fighting, his intelligence, his lineage. He means it when he claims to be the best of all his brothers. The Demon's heir. The son of the Bat.

And yet, he missed something so painfully obvious. Something that was there, right in front of him all this time. Barely concealed. Something he should've seen from the beginning.

It doesn't make him feel better knowing he's not the only one. That everyone else missed it as well. In fact, it only deepens his shame and rage because of how stupid they've all been. Them, a supposed family of world-class detectives and strategists, even the oh-so-called world's greatest detective, somehow failed to notice this. A major, concerning affair going on under their roof.

The worst part? The embarrassment lasted little, for it was quickly replaced with anger and a really strong need for revenge. But not for himself. No. For the person who had been so unfairly wronged by this.

His half sister. His only blood sibling.

They've never been on the best terms, and granted, a great part of it has been his fault. He's not ashamed to admit it. Not anymore. They've been taking turtle steps to fix the gap between them. He's had to prove himself, and while their relationship isn't as close as he wishes, they've advanced a lot since then. They bicker, hang out sometimes and she doesn't look at him with hatred in her eyes anymore. They're good now. And he's come to feel responsible for her, because they're the only ones who understand the weight of the legacy they carry in their veins. Plus, as her brother, it's his duty to look after her, even if she's older.

So, how could he miss this? How could he let this happen? How the hell did a whole family of great detectives fail so spectacularly?

It started slow, after his sister's freaky accident that landed her on an hospital fighting for her life. It was a waking call for all of them, he guesses. As soon as she came back home, Father determined the four of them were to move to the east wing of the manor, where Damian and the others had always lived. His stepmother was to sleep in the same room as her husband for the first time, and her eldest daughter was moved to the room next to Drake's. Father claimed it was to "strenghten familial bonds" and keep Ukhti* close to them as she recovered.

But Damian and the others knew the underlining reasons. It was surveillance. A strategic move, assigning each of them a "handler". Who better to watch Mrs Wayne than her own husband? Who better to handle those unsufferable twins than Damian himself? And of course, Father trusted Drake to keep an eye on his daughter.

Tim Drake. The dutiful, loyal, genius, perfect Tim Drake. The oh-so-obedient Robin, who never fails, never falters, and always knows what's best. Father's trusted soldier.

That fucking Tim Drake.

Damian should've murdered him long ago.

Everything was normal at first. Well, besides that his stepmother and the girls made it very clear they didn't want to be there, sharing space with the rest of the family, and showed their discontent by sabotaging their daily routines to the point of near madness, disrupting the order completely. His stepmother purposedly displaced stuff in Father's office and their bedroom, while Ukthi went out of her way to annoy Drake, which more often led to loud fights. All in foolish hopes that everyone would get so sick of them that they would be sent back to their former rooms.

Naturally, it didn't work, because Father doesn't bend, and so when they realised Father wouldn't relent, their antics gradually stopped.

But what didn’t stop… was them. Tim and his Ukthi.

When they weren't arguing for the whole hallway to hear, they were annoying each other by stealing clothes, changing the locks of their bedroom's doors, even getting physically violent sometimes. She played her obnoxious music and pressed the speaker against the wall they shared while he was working, and he locked her in the bathroom while she was showering after turning the lights off.

"She's a pain in the ass, a damn brat who can't stand not getting her way." Tim said. "Someone has to put her in her place."

"He's unsufferable." She snapped. "I hope he trips down the stairs and breaks his neck."

It became routine. The status quo. The sky is blue. Gotham is corrupted. Tim and his sister hate each other.

Looking back to it, Damian only feels dumber for not having picked on the clues.

The tense silences between arguments. The stolen clothes. The bathroom lock-ins. The music blaring through shared walls. The outright shoving. The bruises that everyone chalked to their wrestling.

How many of those had nothing to do with wrestling at all?

He should've known. From the moment Drake got too involved in her life, beyond what Father even asked him to do. Tracking her movements, standing too close to her when they argued about how she shouldn't go out so late or hang out with certain people. Grabbing her by the arm, fingers digging in just a little too tightly. Looking at her with an intensity that didn’t match the conversation. When both one of their bedroom's doors was slammed closed and they didn't come out until dinner.

They should've all known.

Like when they got a call from a kidnapping incident she had been involved. She’d been missing for hours, and when they finally found her, Drake practically shoved Thomas aside while he was helping her, as if his presence was a nuisance. He cradled her face in both hands, checking for injuries, whispering something only she could hear. And he didn’t stop until she said, more than once, that she was fine. He glared at whoever tried to intervene, as if he only he was allowed to handle her.

"Geez, he's taking his bodyguard job too seriously. He knows Bruce won't kill him if she has some scratches, right?"

Like when she wears his shirts sometimes and Drake doesn't so much complain. Just stares. His gaze lingering a bit too long. Sometimes, his lips would twitch in a way that looked suspiciously close to a smile.

Like when they're alone in the kitchen or the hallway, and there's no arguing. More like bickering. But they're standing too close to each other, and they speak in hushed voices. Breathing a little too heavy.

Staring too long, too directly. The air around them impregnated with something he can't name.

It always feels like they're on the edge of doing something.

But Damian didn't find out by these painfully clear signs. He didn't pick up on the hints they barely hid and put them back together eventually, as a detective would. Oh no. He found out because it was thrown at his face.

It wasn't his fault. The door should've been fully closed. His ukthi had gotten injured during practice and had to stay at home, resting by doctor's orders. And as expected, Drake was assigned to stay behind and make sure she actually followed the orders, as her unofficial babysitter.

He remembers Alfred commenting in passing that Drake was going to stay with her anyway, that he told Father about it before he was even asked. Insisted, even. Damian had thought it weird, but didn't question it.

Damian wasn't even supposed to return to the manor yet. He forgot something and had to retrieve it. It would be just a quick trip. Come, take it and leave again. But on the way, he decided to also check on his sister too, see how she was doing.

Except her room was empty. And Drake's door was half-open. Voices came from his room.

And so, in his curiosity, and an instinct that something was off, he approached just enough to overheard.

He heard her voice first. Saying something he couldn't discern.

Then Drake’s.

"Can't I be worried? You could barely walk when I picked you up, and you'll have a scar from it."

He sounded annoyed, as usual when he spoke to her. But something in his tone was off. It sounded vastly different than Damian ever heard. Almost soft. More personal.

"You're just mad that someone else left a mark on me".

...what?

He then heard Tim scoff, muttering.

"The only marks you should have are mine."

What the hell?

He then took a step forward, quietly to not be heard, to get a glimpse of them in the room. See what was going, a sense of mysterious dread creeping up to him. Already sensing something was wrong. Very wrong.

She was laying across Drake's bed, legs stretched out, with the injured one resting on his lap. His fingers ghosting over the bandage, gaze dark and a frown in his lips, as if the sight offended him.

Meanwhile, she was looking at him with a smile. Not a fake or guarded one. It was almost...soft. Fond, even.

She sighed and nudged his side, making him snap out of it to look back at her. His stance inmediately changed when their eyes met, visibly relaxing.

She tilted her head at him.

"Are you mad at me?"

He blinked at her, then exhaled slowly and shook his head, leaning in closer until their faces were inches away. An innapropiate distance.

"I'm always mad at you," he murmured, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "It's like you live just to make my life difficult."

She chuckled, quiet and natural. Her eyes still fixed on his own with a mischievous glint.

"You wouldn't want me any other way."

He huffed, but his lips quirked up in the softest smile Damian ever saw from him.

A soft, gentle smile. From Tim Drake. Directed at her.

What was happening??

"I'll neither deny nor confirm that statement."

And then, he committed the most outrageous act of treason. The biggest offense to their family Damian ever witnessed. An insult, a spit to the concept of honour and loyalty.

He kissed her.

Right there. On his bed. With his arms caging her against him. Without a drop of doubt or hesitation. As if it was normal.

As if it wasn't the first time.

And she didn't try to fight back or push him away. No. She let him do it. Even worse, she wrapped her arms around his neck and cut the distance between their bodies. Her fingers grasping his hair and his neck simultaneously, letting out a content sigh as the bastard's hands grabbed her healthy leg and put it around his hips.

Damian forced himself to turn away from that horrendous scene before he could see anything worse. What he saw already would definitely haunt him for the rest of his life.

His mind was running at hundred, no, a thousand per hour. Trying desesperately to process and understand what he just saw. What had just been going right behind everyone's backs. Behind his back.

As the shock passed once the realisation settled in, it came the anger. The righteous, murderous rage. He saw red, visualising all kind of creative ways he would spill Drake's blood all over the same bed he defiled his sister in under their noses.

Because Damian knew, just by seeing them, hearing them, that it hadn't been their first time. That they already had done worse than kissing. At that moment, all the hints that he foolishly brushed aside for months came at him like bullets, painfully hitting him over and over as the picture of the cold truth formed in his head. Forcing him to acknowledge what he missed right in front of him all this time. Suddenly, it all made horrible sense.

How dare he?, he thought. How dare this bastard, this unworthy worm, touch his Ukthi like that? Like he had any rights? Like someone like him was worthy of her?

Damian's blood sister, a legitimate member of the Wayne lineage, an heiress, for god's sake. If anything, Damian believed nobody was worthy of her. She carried the Wayne blood in her veins. She deserved someone who matched her standing. Preferably, someone he, Stepmother and Father approved of first.

He was filled with thoughts of storming into that room and kill Drake right there, but he composed himself. Took time to think. Ukthi would most likely be upset if he did that, and such thing would ruin the progress they've made. Besides, the blood would ruin her clothes and the sheets Alfred took so much care in cleaning.

Drake wouldn't die. Not yet. Instead, Damian ran to his own room to reflect. Come to terms with the secret he just uncovered.

He's sharpening his sword, an activity that usually helps his mind relax, but now it's not enough to curve the storm in his head and heart. He keeps thinking on what he should do now. Tell Father and his wife, Ukthi's mother? This affair with Drake has clearly been going on for a while, probably shortly after the arrangement with the bedrooms. It's an insult such thing has been hidden from the family, but if he exposes it now, it would mean not just punishment for Drake, but also shame for Ukthi. Despite everything, Damian can't be mad at her. Of course not. It must've been all Drake's fault, who corrupted her and took advantage of Father's trust to manipulate her into giving herself to him. That must be it. Therefore, it's not fair she goes throught the public embarrasment because of that bastard's undeserving greediness.

That means it falls upon Damian to not only keep this secret, but handle the situation accordingly. He won't bother Father with it. He has far much more pressing matters at the moment, and this affair will definitely shake him enough to distract him from his already demanding duty. Telling Stepmother is not an option either, less she takes matters into her own hands and murders Drake herself. Not like Damian would stop her, but regardless, the worm can't die. Yet.

No, this is his duty. As the blood son, he shall be the one who avenges his sister's honour and saves her from the malicious snake.

He just has to wait. Sooner or later, one of them are bound to make a mistake. Drake might be a prodigy, but he's not perfect. He's made mistakes before. He'll make them again. And Damian will be there to enact his revenge. Make him pay for his crime.

For now, he'll wait and observe. Watch their interactions in a new, much darker light. Biting his tongue with their "accidental" touches. Holding himself back when Drake's face leans in too close. Rolling his eyes at the family's foolish blindless to all of it.

Sooner or later, Drake will learn the consequences of taking what's out of his reach.

Ukthi: "Sister" a/n: I know next to nothing of Arabic, so I searched up how people refer to their sisters and this one seems to be the most common. If it's wrong, pls let me know. this would be part of the Tales of Bats and Wolves universe, but it fits my au for any of my Bruce Wayne's daughter aus in general, unless said otherwise. remember, if you don't like, don't read or comment. nobody is forced to interact with this

[bunnyyyuu]

includes: f! reader, aged up! yuuta + maki, lesbian fetishizing, jerking it, car sex, spanking, strap on, cunnilingus, 69 (mentioned), pervy yuuta kinda

yuuta is really happy for you and maki! he really is.

he’s a huge sweetheart, extremely supportive. anytime you two post one another on your instagram stories with whatever romance song is currently trending, he’s the first to like and reply to it. he’s always saying something about how cute you two are. on your anniversaries—whether it be three months or your two years—he’s texting both of you at midnight a loving “happy anniversary! i'm so happy for u two :) the cutest couple ever”. and he really does mean all that stuff, really.

but yuuta would be lying to himself he said that he wasn't using his unrelenting support for your relationship as a way to soothe his guilt. because he does feel bad about it.

jerking off to his two best friends? how could shame not eat away at him, chomping at the very essence of his soul. he’s always prided himself on how much love and care he has for his friends, how could he do this?

unfortunately for him, though, the thought is just too addicting. so, he’s making up for it by being your number one fan.

his head is thrown back uncomfortably against the wood of his headboard, which would normally bother him if he wasn't so occupied with his leaking dick. he’s rubbing circles with his thumb over the slit, an impossible amount of pre just oozing out of the pretty pink tip.

yuuta’s always had such a vivid imagination and an almost photographic memory, tools that aided him greatly in these desperate nights.

he thinks about the goodbye kisses—though just fleeting pecks, really—you press against maki’s lips in his backseat when he’s dropping you off after a trio hang out. he insists that he’s not third wheeling, and he also insists that you and maki need to sit together in the back. he really doesn't mind sitting in the front alone, really. especially not when he can imagine you and maki in his backseat.

he thinks about you two making out: lewd moans slipping into each other's mouths, the gloss coating your puffy lips smearing across maki’s face, the way her hands crawl under your shirt and fondle your tits.

he thinks about maki’s mean hand slamming into your cunt as you soak the leather of his seats; not that he cares about those seats anyway. he thinks about the downright nasty sounds of your sopping pussy squelching around her fingers as she cruelly plunges them in and out and in and out.

he thinks about your squirt tainting his car, leaving a mess of the liquid all over. the smell of sex, of pussy, lingering in his vehicle for days.

he thinks about how maki hugs you from behind a lot. the way her calloused hands snake up from your ass to grab your hips with unnecessary force for a simple hug before wrapping her arms around your waist and pulling your back against her chest. though, even when you two think you're being sneaky, he notices—of course yuuta would notice that.

he thinks about her bending you over a counter or the edge of your bed. your skirt flipped up, panties no where to be found, as she leaves bright red hand prints all across your ass. she’d have some wicked grin on her face as you let out little ah! ah!’s everytime her palm made harsh contact with your butt, your legs behind you flailing. her free hand would be gripping your hip the same way she does in those hugs.

he thinks about that gleam in your eyes when you're watching maki train. it's not innocent, it's not admiration, it’s something much worse. the way you chew on ur bottom lip and cross your legs over one another, resting your elbow on your knee and chin on your fist. you're watching her like a hawk, pulling her into a hug once she’s all done and sweaty with a little “you did so good! you're so strong!” he sees you feel up her arms or her thighs after.

he thinks about how that strength translates into the bedroom. how she’d pin you down completely with no effort at all as she rams the strap in and out of your aching pussy. she’d have you crying out, begging for something, you’re not even sure what. she’d make you cum over and over until your cunt was sore, slapping you around and using you. he tightens his grip on his dick just a little, precum stickying his hand.

he thinks maybe it's the opposite. maybe all of maki’s brashness, the chip on her shoulder disappears once you're between her legs. lapping at her sex like it's your very last meal, spewing praises against her clit. she's moaning so softly, scarred legs shaking. she's on the verge of tears as you bring her to her upteenth orgasm. you pull away after far too long to mumble sweet nothings at her, your beautiful face absolutely soaked in her. god, yuuta would kill to see that.

he thinks about you two sixty-nining—

“shit,” he hisses out when his phone, placed carelessly in his mess of blankets dings. he scrambles with his free hand, the other still holding a vice grip on the base of his impossibly hard cock.

a text. from you.

“wanna come over? me and maki miss u”

pump! pump! pump! he stares at the text with bleary eyes before finally spilling his hot cum all over his hand, nodding frantically at your words on the screen.

he types back swiftly with his non cum soaked hand.

“ofc :)”

hear me out: hiccup is accident prone. his life is a constant near death experience. HOWEVER ✋🏻reader is a healer. and hiccup frequently sees her. like he’s

not getting hurt just to see her but OH NO he mashed his finger while working in the forge and it would be a shame if he had to get the pretty healer to fix him up. what a shame (he could 100% just wrap it himself but she is also down bad and will infiltrate him every time)

hiccup and healer!reader would fix me i think

Everyone knows the future Chief of Berk is what you'd call 'accident prone', but three days in a row of healer visits is starting to seem excessive. He's got a bruise on his cheek from walking straight into your door two days ago, black and blue as the blood breaks down beneath his skin. There's a cut on his eyebrow that you'd given him a salve for only yesterday, and he's standing at an angle because his prosthetic leg is bent out of shape. Of course, that's something he'll have to take up with Gobber at the forge, but all of it suggests that Hiccup has had a very rough couple of days.

"What is it this time, Hiccup?" You ask, but it's not a world-weary sigh, it's a worried glance up and down his body for any new, visible injuries. There's no blood anywhere, at least not anywhere you can see, which is always a good sign.

"Um, hi again." He limps into the forge, his dragon creeping anxiously behind him, eyeing the unbalanced prosthetic in case Hiccup falls flat on his face as he is wont to do, "It's nothing life-threatening."

"I think you're always life-threatening." You hum warily, "You're always threatening your own life. Is anything bleeding?"

"Maybe a little bit," He shrugs sheepishly, raising a hand to inspect his pointer finger, "I- uh, I hammered my finger. In the forge. And then when I was hopping around, using every swear word I've ever heard my dad say, I caught my foot under the bench and bent it out of shape when I fell."

"You smashed your finger." You blink owlishly, and he nods along, "And- you bruised your tailbone?"

"That's, uh, that's pretty much it." He nods vigorously, "Uh, am I able to get, like, a balm for that, or something?"

"You want me to give you a butt balm?" You raise one eyebrow, watching as his bruised face flushes bright red.

"Maybe- maybe not for the tailbone thing! My finger, though, it's- it hurts, do you think it's broken or anything?"

Just looking at the finger he's brandishing towards you reveals that it's not broken, but you take hold of it anyways, inspecting the very mild abrasion where the hammer had broken through his skin. It's a minor cut, merely a product of the finger being smashed, but if a bandage will make the future Chief of Berk feel better, then a bandage is what he'll get.

"I think you'll be alright." You hum reassuringly, reaching for the bottle of disinfectant you keep on hand, and rummaging through a cabinet for fine gauze to dress it with, "But I'll wrap it for you, and give you ice for your tailbone."

"Thanks," He hums, his voice now above you as he stands in front of your chair, watching you tend to his injury, "You'd think after fifteen years of working in the forge I'd know how to use a hammer."

"I wasn't kidding earlier." You remind him wryly, dabbing away at the cut on his finger, "You are hazardous to your own life."

"Probably," He hums, holding his finger stiff as you begin wrapping it, "How fast will it heal?"

"By tomorrow," You snort, "Keep the bandage on while you're in the forge, and when you're handling raw fish for Toothless- wash your hands, of course. And by morning it should be fine. Just keep it clean."

You secure the gauze and he steps back, smiling appreciatively, "Thanks, Y/N. I'll be more careful, I- I swear."

"Careful doesn't matter. You're accident prone." You inform Hiccup, but you're smiling kindly all the while. You drift over to your icebox, pulling out a hunk of the stuff wrapped in cloth to dull its icy bite, "Just try to get more of these little scrapes than you do, oh, I don't know, arrow wounds?"

"Got it." He nods determinedly, taking the ice from you and setting it in Toothless's saddle, "I'll see you around. Tomorrow- probably."

"I'll see you tomorrow." You chuckle warmly, watching as he limps down the steps of your hut, and promptly falls flat on his face in the grass outside.

Astro observations 4

Lilith in Leo and Aries can have unconventional, rebellious hairstyles that stand out and perhaps aren’t considered what most say is beautiful but they do it for themselves e.g. a buzz cut, dying hair eccentric colours, having a flamboyant big hairstyle that others consider inappropriate to society

If you’re interested in being an actor, or ever wanted to know the roles you’d play best: look at the planets in your second house. They describe the kind of character you’d play well because 2H shows the skills and traits needed for us to make money. So if you were acting you’d get paid for showing the skills of the planets in your 2H in the role you’d get cast for. I’ve noticed actors who play roles that match their 2nd house planet become known, or most successful for it.

E.g Uranus 2H: Benedict Cumberbatch- Played as Sherlock holmes (role required themes of intellect, eccentricity, thinking outside of the box to be Sherlock) same with Dr Strange (very ironic because Uranus literally represents things that are weird).

Pluto 2H: playing as villains, morally questionable characters, surgeons, morticians, taxidermy artist, piercing artist, gang member, scaring people. Johnny depp has this placement and his most profitable roles were as Jack sparrow, Edward scissor hands, sweeny Todd, all to do with slicing using a sword scissors or a knife and immoral characters

I’ve noticed the fama asteroid doesn’t really depict the ‘good’ kind of fame, if you look into famous people’s charts, Fama tends aspect or to be in the house where they were in a scandal or something shameful.

E.g Kamala Harris has Pluto and Venus conjunct fama, she’s infamously accused of sleeping her way to power because her affair was made public

Ben Shapiro has his mercury conjunction fama, and I’m sure you know his views are not taken with the most respect. He gets harassed quite often for it.

Elon Musk has fama conjunct Uranus in 3rd house while he posts 4chan content and always is being called out for saying some ‘degenerate’ or ‘erratic’ opinion on Twitter.

Justin Bieber has Jupiter at 14 degrees conjunct the Fama asteroid in his 12th house—the house of hidden meanings and secrets. The degree, 14, aligns roughly with the age when he reportedly spent 48 hours with Diddy and was generously gifted a sportscar. He also got signed by Usher at 14 (Usher was Diddys mentee). Notably, this placement is in Scorpio, the sign associated with joint resources, power dynamics, and sex organs. Even now this remains a subject of gossip and speculation, with some suggesting that the generosity and “mentorship” (themes linked to Jupiter’s higher learning and expansion) from Diddy played a pivotal role in jumpstarting Bieber’s career, particularly in relation to the music industry’s power structures. Another thing to note is that he flew abroad from Canada to USA for this to happen to him which lead to him getting famous. (Jupiter represents foreign relations)

Fama is more of a humiliating but entertaining ‘tea’ placement. And not everyone wants to become a controversial kind of famous, some people may want to become famous for their talents and their contributions to the industry they work in. People who are famous and don’t have strong fama placements can actually have a good reputation with their fame. People won’t try to make fun of you or a spectacle of your life to mock you. This is why we can see very famous adored people like princess Diana have no fama aspects yet was in the limelight of it all. Whereas Camilla has Fama conjunct ascendant. Fama is more gossipy, the kind of stuff you don’t really want to be known for. Rumours that defame your character and make you look like a bad person.

If you want to see what nasty things people say about you behind your back, and what they gossip about, look at your fama asteroid.

I have noticed that Venus in the 8th house can result in them thinking someone is interested in them when they’re not. I’ve also seen that these natives really get hurt in love like there’s some unreciprocated dynamic in their relationships if they experience pain from them. It can be people trying to use them, like becoming friends with them so they can have access to a guy the native knows, you can have your partner “stolen” from you by others

Virgo Mars love to make their partners stressed or see them stressing out/ how they handle stressful situations. They will respect you a lot if you can take stress and high expectations, multi task them like it’s nothing, or taking in the toll but managing it with order and planning

Scorpio Mars/Mars in 10th/Mars ruled MC house have the scary smile. Your smile can be seen as rather menacing, uncanny. People like this that have this placement are Joseph Stalin, Joaquin Phoenix, Khloe Kardashian, Bruce Lee, Mark Zuckerberg, Usher, Charlie Sheen. I can’t describe it but it’s a smile that’s like “ILL KILL YOU 😁”, the eyes look haywire yet locked on target, the smile is exaggerated and almost too joyful, face distorted in excitement like it’s dying to start something, it makes sense since 10H can show bone structure and mars being here can add an edge to it.

Oh and don’t forget that Mark Zuckerberg smile meme (he also has Scorpio Mars), a lot of these natives are known for their menacing smile and presence. Also you guys are villainised yet kind of respected for it. I’ve seen it prevalent in the men. E.g Joaquin Phoenix’s joker smile, Charlie Sheen + Bruce Lee + Khloe Kardashian showing anti social behaviour and becoming respected for it. If you commit crimes people might like you more 💀

This made me think of the British musician Aphex twin, who has the creepiest smile. I looked at his chart and guess what? He has a Aries MC, midheaven ruled by Mars and look at that smile:

Mars in Cancer specifically in 1st house can hold a lot of resentment towards their mother, get into nasty arguments with her, name calling or blame their mother for how they look and find their appearance annoying. On a more positive note these natives can do everything in their power for their mothers. At best natives with this placement can be feminists, in support of women in power. At worst they can despise ‘pathetic’ women and end up treating their wives with the same level of hatred too. Or just degrade women because of their own insecurities

e.g. Lord Byron, a British poet who blamed his mother for his foot deformity and would often call her names and unleash his rage on his wife, cheating on her egregiously

Sun conjunct Uranus makes someone very good with innovation, numerical values, science and maths. Your big highlight in this life may be that you invent something not thought of before. E.g people with this placement: Ada Lovelace- the creator of the first algorithm, John Von Neumann- A scientific genius who pioneered the modern computer, game theory, nuclear deterrence. He was described as so smart he made his teacher cry from doing complex calculus in his head at the age of 6 💀.

Since 1H can show how you present yourself, it can tell you the clothing you wear in your daily outfits, which made me think of how each planet in the first house may dress.

Neptune 1H can wear fantasy clothing, cosplay, fancy dress, masquerade masks, covid masks, any mask, magical accessories like iridescent tights, tiaras

Saturn 1H can incorporate historical tradition clothing like a timeless TAILORED clothing, think top hats, timeless coats, Victorian style dresses, also can have corsets as Saturn shows restrictions. It reminds me of that 1800s kind of look

Moon 1H can wear soft comforting clothes like vintage slips, nightgowns, pyjamas and loungewear, babydoll dresses, chunky knit fleece/coat

Mercury 1H can wear smart uniforms, plaid skirts, blazers, graphic t-shirts with slogans or logos, suspenders, ties, glasses, just very witty and youthful

Pluto 1H can wear intimidating darker clothes like chokers, gothic clothes, long trench coats, hoodies, all black, latex, bodycon, face coverings

Jupiter 1H can wear cultural clothing like kimonos, sarees/lenghas, bohemian styles, togas/roman inspired clothing, or like embroidered tunics

Mars 1H can wear combat military clothing, like camouflage, leather, fingerless gloves, ski masks, harnesses, military jacket, those belts or garters that can hold weapons like knives and guns

Sun 1H can wear statement clothing, designer logo branded pieces, fluffy clothes like furr , jewellery, this one’s more varied because Sun is the expression of self so they can actually wear stuff based more on the sign

Venus 1H can wear standard beauty centered clothing like corsets, brooches, lace, satin, heels, off the shoulder tops, pointed loafers and ascots for men, impractical fabrics, they’re more likely to wear things that aren’t necessarily comfortable but they come at the price of beauty.

Uranus 1H can incorporate unique futuristic, punk, techwear, platform shoes , noticed men can look disheveled almost, unique pvc reflective metallic fabrics, can have tech in their clothes, asymmetrical clothing, shoes that don’t match, they can be known for their unique choices in clothing too. The kind that makes people stop and think “what am I looking at rn”

Planets conjunct your ascendant are basically the main contributor to the method you approach your life with. For an example an Aries ascendant conjunct 12H Mercury can have a “I CAN DO IT ALL” mindset to everything in their life while actually using their mind to whip up and improvise a plan quickly out of nowhere, whereas if mercury wasn’t conjunct - they may not be as quick witted for the situations that occur in their life or be as tactical, they’d be like action with little plan, a river with no path but trusting on its flow.

Neptune in 11H might make you difficult to find online, your stalkers are seething. Maybe you don’t post, can have hidden private accounts or your page can look really magical like a Pinterest board but it’s hard to get a lot out of you solely based on your digital footprint

Also another thing, Neptune is NOT your friend lol, Neptune is a deceiver. I find it so interesting because people see Neptune as pure but it distorts reality and blurs the lines but makes it really pretty. Reminds me of Glinda from Wicked or hextech from arcane. It can be difficult for even the native because they may not realise they can deceive others as much as they do it to themselves. Wherever Neptune is in your chart can show who you deceive. Or how you’re deceived 3H siblings, 4H lying to family or about where you come from etc. You can also be lied to about missing family members or the roots of where you came from. 7H could be your clients and romantic partners can lie to you about what they want, 12H people could lie about you behind your back but you can struggle to trace where it comes from, you can also be completely oblivious to your subconscious thoughts. 10h can easily make you the scapegoat at work.

Venus 6H and their consistency in their beauty routines e.g skincare is what many aspire to. They are constantly glowing up since 6H shows our daily routines and self improvement so having Venus here can make you look prettier day by day. It’s like that “oh you keep getting prettier than the last time I saw you..”

Uranus 6H can overcome an illness that nobody would have thought they would. This is because wherever Uranus is in the chart can show where you rebel and bounce back in a way that nobody expected. With it being in 6H which also rules your health, you can surprise others by your illnesses, if you are ill you can have a rare condition or you’re the kind of person who gets sick like all the time but recovers the next day

Virgo moons feel sooo much fulfilment in being the cause of someone else’s satisfaction, it made me think of the UK onlyfans model Lily Philips, she slept with 100 random men in 24 hours in a documentary, afterwards she cried and felt horrible and used and said that she was most upset about the fact that she couldn’t make them all finish. A very sad documentary. But it really highlighted the nature of Virgo moons NEEDing to serve, to please. They say Libra are the people pleasers but honestly I’d give that one to Virgo, except usually virgos pickier with who they decide to please.

Lily Philips also has Fama conjunct Neptune, she’s famous for the sexual fantasy she portrays and the false image she shows to others, she’s so different from how she acts when making her OF content. This also proves my earlier said point about fama being scandalous as well because Lily has SOOOO much hate and gossip due to her “deceiving” image that’s the influence of Neptune for you. Might analyse her chart later.

Having both Pluto and moon in the 1H can create a silent brooding type of attractive. Adrien Brody has this placement and really embodies an edgy but comforting gaze. He is tall, has emotional melancholic eyes from moons effect yet has high contrast, intense dark features. I think it’s a really interesting mix of traits to have in the first house

Chiron in Libra can make someone be rather insecure of their appearance, usually body and face or femininity. They feel like they’re not beautiful enough. Anya Taylor joy , Maisie Williams, Kylie Jenner, Dolly Parton, Freddie Mercury, have this placement and all have publicly known insecurities based on their appearance despite them being inspirational to others for getting the limelight and praise without looking like everyone else. They pick at themselves quite a lot.

I always raise my eyebrow when I see a Pluto conjunct Lilith/Uranus in a chart. That person can be very dark, they can bring about a side of humanity that most people don’t want to discuss yet are fascinated with. They are capable of some really…. scary things. Especially if all 3 asteroids and planets are conjunct to each other. Pluto is intense it’s dark, it’s controlling but when it’s conjunct Uranus it now has chaos, rebellion, Lilith also rebels but it’s unapologetic, it may make people scared and trigger primal fears because of how messy the person is, these people can be really explosive. They’re also really intimidating, i could imagine the group anonymous that leaked classified government documents having this kind of placement. They literally go into the guttural trenches of inhumanity and bring out its findings then present it to the naive public like a cat dragging a rodents scathed body to the owner expecting a reward. It can be impressive sometimes, you often think “how did you even come up with the idea to do this?”

[c-is-for-circinate]

Man I think there are two Great Tragedies of Tim Drake, and the second is how hard fandom refuses to engage with the first in favor of their own made-up fanon version of angst. There's plenty of angst in the actual text!

Like the thing about Tim -- actual, pre-Robin, training-to-be-Robin, start-of-his-Robin-run Tim -- is that he sets out on his vigilante journey with two things literally no other batfam member has had before. Tim is normal, and he is happy.

Early Tim, you'll hear a lot in some circles, is meant to be a bland self-insert: look at this kid, he's a Batman fan, just like you! Only he's got more money AND more freedom than you, which means that he gets to have the coolest hobby ever, and when Batman gets in trouble this kid can actually help him out. So cool!

Dick, Jason, Cass, Damian -- they all come to vigilantehood after backgrounds that're various levels of implausible, tragic, and traumatizing. Batman, and their ability to don a cape beside him, rescues them. Their lives get better when they put the uniform on.

Tim's doesn't. Through coincidence or fate or force of plot, Tim agrees to be Robin and his life immediately gets worse. Tim's mom (who canonically loves him and he loves dearly, who's gone more than maybe she should be but a good mom when she's there) dies. Tim's dad's in a coma. Tim's life is upended.

Tim gets strangled by Azbats. Tim almost dies of the Clench. Tim gets all the typical vigilante/sidekick suffering stuff. Tim gets fucked with and fucked over by an increasingly paranoid Bruce.

Tim tries to leave to go back to his normal civilian life but he can't any more, because he is the Normal One, he's been the Normal One for so long that he's missed how much he's changed until he has to fit all of himself inside one single box of normalcy. He tries to leave and it follows him. It haunts him. It stalks him. It kills his friend. It kills his girlfriend. It kills his dad.

(That's the Tim that Jason runs into in Titan's Tower, for fucksake. The orphan living alone in Bludhaven, who's been Robin for years, who left it and then came back because nobody else could live up to him, who's been taking care of himself for ages. The one with half his life and identity pinned not on being granted the opportunity to playact as impostor-syndrome Robin -- that's Tim of two or three or four years ago, just starting out, before he started accumulating loss -- but on being Robin, and being damn fucking good at it. Jason thinks Tim stole his job. Tim thinks he's been doing this goddamn job for four years and if one more person tells him that it's not his, he's going to show them why he doesn't need to turn into Gun Batman to be scary.)

His best friend dies. His other best friend dies. 16- to 17-year-old Tim McFucking Loses It, even before Bruce also dies and pushes him right over the edge, but the tragedy of the Red Robin run isn't just Tim's general sense of self-worth and belief in his ability to be loved. It's stepping back, looking at it in context, and realizing that this was all preventable.

Dick Grayson was never going to be normal, before or after his parents died. Jason was never going to be fine. Cass was doomed long before Bruce ever got to her. But Tim chose this shit. Twelve years old, looking at Batman, too smart for his own damn good but in a way that never once stopped him from making friends and fitting in just fine before -- Tim chose. And he kept choosing, until long after it stopped actually being a choice, until it became all he had, all he had left. Tim made himself into the sort of creature of power and grief that most of his teammates and family had no choice but to be.

What a cool story. (What a very Barbara Gordon story, but that's a conversation for another day.) What a goddamn shame fandom would rather give him the UwU Tragic Backstory and comically terrible parents than tell it.

DCxDP prompt 9 :

Spirit Halloween Ship where Danny is Dan and Dani's Dad, Danny starts a small tech business in where he invents stuff which catches the attention of WE and Danny is so in for it. Danny meets Bruce Wayne, He falls Inlove.

He is still a Halfa and with that His Ghost Half and Human Half have mixed Courting Processes. Danny tries to flirt with Bruce, Which failed miserably(Unsurprising.). Danny tries to court Bruce Ghost Way with taking him to deathaversarry(Danny why.), Taking Bruce out on a cemetery picnic(DANNY NO—) and many more! But, Bruce didn't seem to get the hint and think they're just really close friends(yowch). Danny now tries all the human ways of courting and eventually finds out that Serenading the Man and Getting him gifts such as flowers/bouquets was a goddamn effective idea!

Dan and Dani forms a Bond with Dami over their fathers being simping idiots. Danny is a simp, a hardcore simp that's obsessed(Danny.....) with Bruce! That's a bit concerning? Danny is forever shameless and he's smitten with Bruce and Bruce is very confused of his emotions towards Danny.

"Should I kill him and then revive him...?" Dan asked himself staring at Danny serenading a flustered Bruce Wayne who's looking over Danny from the second floor of his office window. "No, but we CAN beat him up." Dani sighs, pinching her temples exasperated. "Control your Father will you? It is currently 8 in the evening, why is he singing like a banshee." Damian scoffed walking over to the twins. "First, he had a good voice. Second, We can't drag him because he's strong despite his... Uhh.... Scrawny old Body. Third, It's very amusing to see Bruce Wayne get flustered over Danny serenading him like a damsel in distress." Dan just clarified with a mischievous smirk. Damian rolls his eyes and crosses his arms, "It's still annoying and it's attracted the family's attention, Todd has now started to visit nightly in the hopes of meeting your father because apparently they share a bond." Damian just sat beside them on the grass. "I LOVE YOU!" Danny yelled and Bruce got even more redder and his palm on his face. "Father is Weak to this. I am quite ashamed." Damian just deadpans with a raised eyebrow, "And our Dad has surprisingly no shame about this." Dani sighs again. "When did he ever have shame??" Dan asked bemused but also laughing lightly, Dani shrugged dismissively as the three just watched their fathers simp for each other.

Things I noticed on my rewatch of the Thunderbolts*

John Walker says "Hey, go easy on him." to Yelena, when Yelena is going off on Alexei for not showing up for her

→ Might be reading too deep but is he saying this because he's also a father that wasn't there for his kid?

John Walker talks too much most of the time. I don't know how to explain this, but usually what he's trying to convey is not wrong, but he uses excessive words. Probably over compensating for the lack of his confidence

Bucky saying "This isn't right." when Bob's shame room (Malaysia) starts expanding.

→ On the first watch I thought he was expressing a general concern, but on my second watch I'm wondering if he meant "It's not right for Bob to sacrifice himself."

Valentina exclusively called Bob "Robert"

Valentina did not care for the impeachment at all after she discovered Bob, and was probably willing to force herself to power with Sentry, not just for good press.

Bucky somehow appeared behind Alexei's limo, meaning that a) he flew in by himself, b) he sneaked into Valentina's crew, my bet is on a) but with the help of Sam Wilson

Bucky is so on the toe about Valentina all the time, he keeps saying "You don't know what Valentina is capable of", which makes me wonder what he knows about her past

Ava was the first one to follow after Yelena, and I thought it was because she didn't care if she lived or not. But the second watch I realised she genuinely wanted to save Yelena

Bucky is the type of person to get stuff the most effective and efficient way (bandage solutions). I used to think he was the logical type because in Captain America First Avenger, he was always trying to keep Steve from getting in trouble, but now I see he put up with Steve's troublemaking behaviours because he was similar in a way. He has to stick his neck into problems he can't stand, and he's not very creative/subtle about the solutions either. Impeachment? Get straight to the source, don't bother reading the packet. If that doesn't work, go after the evidence yourself, because who else will? A corrupt director is trying to unleash a human-made god, no prob, just crush a truck with social outcasts in the back. To put it in good words, he is straightforward no-nonsene and flexible with his plans. In reality he just wants shit to be done.

[seamstraw]

things I noticed on a rewatch of thunderbolts:

in the elevator shaft, when they realize that they don’t have a way to reach the door safely, bob mutters that he always makes things worse. ouch.

the first time yelena asks bob if he trusts her, he's sort of ambivalent/unwilling to respond. but this is pretty soon after bob just saw yelena's shame room, in which yelena gets anya killed. not her fault, of course, but not exactly a good first impression for trusting someone either.

valentina wears an american flag pin on her suit when sitting before congress (which I did notice on my first viewing), but this time I also noticed she takes it off when going to clear out the O.X.E. warehouse. nice touch.

bob is twitching like CRAZY as sentry—his eyes, his mouth—I’m impressed by the actor. I'm assuming this is meant to reflect a manic episode? he's also hella shaky in the vault, but that kinda checks out for anyone with three people pointing guns at you regardless of mental health status.

ava grabbing bucky's arm, and alexei and john working together to drag him into the elevator... my heart. also, everyone's faces when valentina orders bob to kill them? the way they get defensive of each other even though they know for certain he could obliterate them in an instant? my heart x2.

the first time I watched, I found alexei’s humor too forced. bad marvel humor at serious moments, like thor: love and thunder. but this time, I interpreted it more as him trying too hard to connect with yelena but not knowing how to do it in a serious way. as he says in their heart-to-heart, he’s not very good at this sort of thing.

I’ve seen people say that walker stops calling bob “bobby” after hearing his father call him that, but only yelena heard that. walker just hears “robert.” also, walker calls bob “bobby” in the lab too.

valentina's "bad guys and worse guys" speech is still great. but. mel. mel, mel, mel. cannot believe you're still asking valentina if she's trying to do good things. do you not remember her housewarming present. and the medical experiments that killed people. and the everything else valentina.

bucky is probably boggling inside of the shame rooms. I thought we were here to beat this guy up? but now we're defending him? getting beat up by his past self on meth? hugging the depression out of him? alright. going with the flow.

walker flipping the table is what pops open the storage box bob is in... kinda curious about what would've happened if bob never got released. I guess the other three would all die, either to each other or in the incinerator (since bob's sudden appearance stopped the fight), and then bob would wake up alone in the ashes? or maybe the other three would actually escape, except sans bob? but tbh even if they make it out of the incinerator, I suspect they die either with no way to get up the elevator or trying to drive away without a distraction.

ava doesn't have a whole ton of lines, but her body language in the background is great. props to the actor. even when she's not the focus of a scene, you can tell how she feels.

have seen claims in powerscaling reddit posts (yes, I know) that bob caught ava during the fight by anticipating where she was going to un-phase and using superspeed. but after he grabs her, she blurs in and out a few times and still can't escape. seems like sentry can manipulate molecules or some shit.

sentry’s outfit has grown on me a little. I actually like all the lines and stuff, the belt just throws me off because it’s so. big. and the logo is so. prominent. idk.

initially thought bob's memory loss extended all the way to the vault. am now thinking his memory loss probably starts after he gets shot? he knows who walker is, but he doesn't recognize valentina's face. would line up with activating his powers -> memory loss.

realized that valentina in the finale probably spots bob and is like "wtf. wtf. wtf." last time she saw this guy was floating in the sky going evil and then she got forced to relive her dad's murder twenty times. time before that was this guy pinning her against a wall and choking her to death. now he's in a fucking oversized sweater and clapping at the press conference.

the new avengerZ sponsored by tide. and like ten other companies. lmfao.

(Open Rp) Journey to the west Christmas Story in "Icy Journey to the west of Love"

On the Day of Christmas Eve, It's been 2 months Ever Since Saphira's Beloved daughter's death and Saphira Is Still Furious at "Soon-to-be-Ex-Fiancé " Name "Prince Daniel Jamerson Rooster" Who Was Still Obsessing of Having a Son but He Pitch a Fit over NOT Having a Son and Being Abusive towards Saphira and made Their daughter a Stillborn. Then Daniel wanted to talk to her but Saphira snarled At him with Rage and Telling him this is all his Fault for being a Bad Father and a Horrible Fiancé To her and Their daughter And then she told him to not Talk to her at all because of what he had Done to Her and Their Daughter, He backed off and rubbing his Now Bruised and Cut hands because His father King Rooster Gave Him and His hands a beating after He found out what His Son had Done to Saphira and His Granddaughter. Saphira Maybe a Forgiving Person but She has her Limit, and by limit I mean a Serious Line That Daniel Completely Crossed it and It would never be Uncross at all. Then After Hour of being Ignored, Daniel went ballistic and yelling at Saphira For Ignoring him but She reminded him Of What he has done to His Own Flesh and blood and How Horrible and a big failure he is as a Man and a Father all because of His Stupid Obsession of Having a Son and then Daniel went outburst, trashing the whole Christmas stuff and throwing tantrums like a 2 year old, Demanding that He wanted a son alot so much it made Saphira and his parents and her parents went into shock. Then He grabbed Saphira's First Gift of Christmas is the beautiful Silver Reindeer bell and he tried to destroy it many times but It was Protected by Magic which made saphira very angry at Daniel throwing a fit like a 3 year old until His father Bellowed in anger which made Daniel stopped and backed off when he said,

King Rooster: "DANIEL JAMERSON ROOSTER!!!, STOP THIS CHILDISH BEHAVIOR RIGHT THIS MINUTE! How DARE you Ruining this Christmas in this kingdom of sakutopia!? Have you no shame!? Your mother and I didn't raise you to act like this! Haven't you realized that it was YOUR Fault that you Killed your daughter because of your Stupid Obsession of having a son?!"

Daniel: " But Father, I wanted the son So much so he can take over my throne as well.."

King Rooster: " Oh? And why is that, I demand to know!"

Then Saph came in and said,

Saph: "I know Someone Who Can answer that! Guards! Bring her Here!"

Then the Guards Dragged Barbra Minx who is Now all beat up and bruised which made Daniel went pale Like a ghost and saphira knew something was up…and she said,

Saph: "Alright Minx, I want you to tell them the reason why Daniel wanted a Son in the first place and you better use words carefully now.."

Saphira's Voice turns Cold and Haunted that made Barbra's Spine shivers as Barbra began to speak,

Barbra Minx: " He told me the reason why he wanted a son is because he wanted to run away with me with a son..so he can take over both sakutopia and Shintari..and I wanted a son too but i'm infertile.. So he Planned to marry saphira and had a son so he can run away with me and take her son and took over other kingdom.."

Her confession made everyone shocked and enrage as Daniels Father Looked at His son with rage and fury, Then Before Daniel Speak His Father Slapped him So hard that Daniel tumble and fell backwards with his hand on his now swelling cheeks and His father said,

King Rooster: " WHAT… WERE…. YOU… THINKING!? You Cause the Treason against the Sakutopia Kingdom and Not only you ruined christmas but You Ruined and Tarnished The Good Name of This Family! Oh, I'm Going to give you a Beatings of the life time when i'm Done with you I-"

Then Saphira Raise her hand to stop His Father and she said,

Saph:" Not So Fast Your majesty, I have a good Proper Punishment For These two and I think you can leave the Punishment to me. For You, Daniel Shall Be Punished By Sterilizing your "Manhood" so that way No Children can be born with Such a Horrible BEAST like you and your arms and Legs be chopped off so that way you don't Lay hands on anyone Nor kicking or running away again..just like you did to me and my daughter.. and Barbra Minx you shall be punished as well 10 lashes and 3 more for a scheme, betrayal and treason as well.. and last but not least, You Two Shall go walk of Shame before Daniels arms and legs being chopped off and Hearby Banished From my Kingdom and Mark my Words If I ever hear or see you two set foot on Sakutopia again, You'll be executed and your head will be on the Pike as an example of what happens if Abusers and cheaters like you gets too comfortable around in my Kingdom. And also Daniel I'm Calling off the Engagement and I Don't Want to See your Horrible Tyranted Face ever again! Do you hear me? We are Finished!"

After the Announce Of Punishment, Daniel and Barbra began to Go walk of shame naked as the people of Sakutopia Jeering, throwing tomatoes and veggies at them, calling them horrible names and cursed them for their sins including the Murder of Saphira's Daughter. Barbra got 13 lashes from the real sharp whip while Daniel got his arms and legs Chopped off and sterilized completely and now on the Wheelchair, Pushed by His father whom he still Livid and Ashamed towards His own Son For what he has done To Saphira, He heard about His son mistreated Saphira because she's pregnant with a baby girl and all.. and he said to his son coldly, "When we get home Boy, I'm going to give you a beaten of a lifetime and your going to Marry to a Princess of the Ogre Kingdom and you better kiss Barbra minx goodbye cause You'll never going to see her again!" Then King Minx Did the Same thing to Barbra, "You too Young lady, Your going to get a beaten and Your going to Marry to the Prince of the Pig Kingdom so you can Kiss that Rooster Boy goodbye cause you'll never see him again!" Then the Fathers said to Daniel and Barbra," Because of What you did to Saphira and Her Daughter, you've cause treason to the whole entire kingdom!!" Then they left the Kingdom after they apologize For what their idiot son and daughter had done to her, "Good Riddance!" Saphira said.

Then she climbed down..and She pulled the flashlight out..and turn it on and then a man with long grey hair with bald head came and hugs her as she screams and said," AHH who are you?!" and then he answers…

It's kind of funny to think that when Lucifer points out to Charlie that they have the same blood, it's clear that Lucifer has golden blood due to being an Angel, while in battle we see that Charlie actually has red blood, probably due to being the daughter of the first human/sinner woman, which ironically makes her even closer to Alastor just on a visual level.

Another thing I love about that song is that Lucifer stresses that he will support her, but always focusing on material things and the use of his power. While Alastor, the manipulative bastard who knows everyone's weaknesses, brings out all the bonds and emotional support he's given Charlie just by being there from the beginning, how they've become friends, how he makes her laugh with his jokes, he even hugs Niffty, and all that "corny" stuff is what Charlie really appreciates, but she has no interest in material things.

Ooooh! Good point about the blood! In that aspect, she could be more closely affiliated with sinners than Lucifer or the hellborn.

Also, that's what I REALLY love about Alastor and Lucifer's song, because your right! Lucifer is focusing on all the things he can get her. Material items. Which is exactly where he went wrong.

Charlie is the princess of Hell, I'm pretty sure she has no problem buying anything. Lucifer may be able to snap things into existence, but that's not what Charlie wants. It's not what she needs.

Alastor, on the other hand, is observant as fuck. He was with the Hazbin crew for only a week before he pegged Charlie's daddy issues.

It is also very interesting that in this photo Lucifer is in the spotlight with his back turned to Charlie, and Charlie's body language is so hurt and closed off, she's literally on the brink of tears. I'm just saying, I don't think we give Charlie's feelings about her and Lucifer's relationship more credit. We tend to focus more on Lucifer's emotions and that is such a shame because LOOK at her. Charlie is not okay.

Charlie wants connection, support, and community. She wants someone to be proud of her. She wants someone who is reliable and involved.

And Alastor knows that and, when you think about it, he HAS done that.

Look at Charlie's face when he tells her he's happy to "fulfill all her bizarre request."

Requests. Not just poofing items into existence.

We've already seen examples of Alastor being involved with the hotel and doing things that Vaggie and Charlie ask him to do, such as taking the egg bois with him, sitting in on Charlie's exercise's, making a commercial, building a new wall, dealing with clogs--and I imagine he's done a lot more over the 6 months that he's been there.

(Also, not to go off topic but Alastor's back arch oh my god??????)

Look at her face when Alastor say's that she's an "impressive young lady" and that they're all "very proud of her."

He didn't even need to say "I'm proud of her," it was "we're proud of her."

It makes me wonder when the last time Charlie heard those words. Did Lucifer and Lilith ever tell her they were proud of her? I looked through the episode transcripts, and there wasn't a single time Lucifer said "I'm proud of you", even after they rekindled their relationship.

I think it's something Charlie has wanted to hear for a VERY long, and hearing it from Alastor (who's as close to a father figure as she's had, I guess), I can't imagine how much that meant to her.

Also note Charlie's face when Lucifer interrupts them to request he meet her other friends.

Charlie wants emotional connection. She doesn't want Lucifer to come in and fix all her problems, she just needs a little help. She wants his support. She invited him to the hotel so she could show him what she was working on and how much things have improved.

And let's be honest here, Lucifer went to the hotel for purely selfish reasons.

He didn't go to listen to Charlie's pitch or even consider helping with it. He already said no about setting up a meeting with Heaven and he went into the hotel already believing it wouldn't work, with no intention of keeping an open mind.

He missed Charlie and went there only to see her, which isn't altogether bad! He missed his daughter. That's fine. But by all accounts it was a selfish decision that he made purely for himself. It was to benefit him, not her.

And I think, on some level, Charlie expected that.

So when Alastor swoops in saying all the right words, knowing exactly what Charlie wants (because he's been paying attention), knowing that she doesn't need material items but emotional connection, you know, I can't blame her for looking the way she did, and I'm not surprised it sent Lucifer head-first into a whirlpool of insecurity.

Lucifer went wrong by trying to "buy" (for lack of better term) his way back into Charlie's good graces. I don't think he meant for it to come off like that, but the whole basis of his "i'm a better dad than Alastor" argument is "look at all the things I can get for you," "look at all the ways you can benefit from my status" and "we're blood-related."

Whereas Alastor's was "here's all the things I've done to help and support you," "look at the times I've been reliable" and "you've already made a found family here, you don't need a biological one."

I'm sorry, but going by the song? Yeah, Alastor kind of beat Lucifer in the dad category.

Doesn't mean he's an actual, loving, and supportive father figure to Charlie LMAO, but by all accounts, he's checked the boxes.
