I miss them so bad (Dick and Damian)

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #damian wayne #dick grayson #ITS JUST NOT THE SAME MAN #idk i was reading nightwing must die (again...) bc i was in a funk and saw another post saying how fans exaggerate the closeness btwn them #and on the one hand i get it. there is a very rosy portrayal of their relationship you'll come across in fanon #and they weren't very close at the beginning of their relationship #but man. reading Nightwing must die again was like #YES they fight. damian instigates it and while dick tries to exercise patience he does fight back/lash out on occasion #but despite all that it's still emphasized how important the two are to each other #when dick is forced to picture a future where he's lost his way he pictures damian being the one to bring him back #not necessarily bc damian is his favorite person on the planet but bc he gave damian robin. for a lot of practical reasons-#-but also bc how far damians come is (i think at least based on this arc) a testament to dick that hes doing Something right #both as a hero/person #damian is more than just a burden saddled on him (although there's an element of that in their batman and robin run)#he's also a last remaining connection to bruce when he's gone (remembering where he comes from) AND he's training damian+#-his own way! with a dash of tough love and workaholic spirit inherited but also a lot of patience and focus on being More than the darkness #idc what ppl say nightwing must die makes sense for these two. its a retcon but one that works imo #that dick buried his head in the sand about how much damian meant/the responsibility he had to him bc it was a commitment he was afraid of #and how damian ultimately was a point of maturation for dick even if he went back to being Nightwing #they were SO goddamn close and now they're still close but only in ways that are implied #and their bond is deemphasized in comparison to each others bond w/ say bruce. which i think is a shame #it was a wrinkle! a fun wrinkle that the batfamily had that in some ways dick understood damian better than Bruce-#-even if he didn't feel like he could handle the responsibility of raising him full time #it kills me that bc of the n52 we never got the handover of the batman mantle (and damian) from dick to bruce #next nightwing writer...include a flashback to that moment AND have damian appear in the book in present....AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!#anyway. dick is damians brother but also damian a little bit imprinted on him like a baby duck and its rubbed off on dick #they're partners they're mentor mentee but most importantly they were batman and robin. and they were the greatest #NOT bc it was all peaches and roses but bc they cared for each other exponentially despite all that

Do you love bounty hunters?

OK, this is a Star Wars podcast it's normal to have some bounty hunters. "Attempts" to list all of them? How hard could it be?

Ok, still seems pretty normal. Cad Bane! I know him.

Huh, thats... quite a few lieutenants that all show up in the same episode. How many of them could there be?

#campaign podcast #long post #the best way to experience my favorite bit from this podcast that doesn't involve listening to the 40+ episodes that lead up to it #they start rattling off all these bounty hunters as a joke #which reprises a few times #and then at the end of the arc they have to fight all of them #truly the kind of setup and payoff that can only happen if you are recording your sessions

i'm gonna start replying to people who say 11 is their favorite doctor with "oh the writing wasn't very good but matt smith did the best he could in the role" because i am tired of pretending i liked almost any of his seasons

it's what i have to hear about 13 all the time and i'm sick to the gills of it. sick of it i say!

#it is so difficult participating in broader fandom when everyone takes every opportunity to shit on her seasons #like christ it is so normalized to completely denegrate her entire run #i've had people say this shit to me and then turn around and admit they never watched all of it #like lskjdfla;kshtgal;ksjdfal;skjdfas #it makes me wanna bite and tear like a wild animal #and it's so performative!!! like they gotta say her writing was bad but jodie did a good job and that's the discussion #half the time no one can really point to why the writing didn't resonate with them #and the other half is timeless child hate which ok fine that's your opinion but also it really only defines the latter half of her arc?#most of season 12 is pointing to the timeless child reveal yes but there are several general adventure episodes #i'm just so tired of having to constantly defend 13 #this is gods hardest battle and i'm his weakest soldier fr #like why is it when i say 13 is my favorite doctor we have to shit on all of her seasons but when someone else say 10 or 11 #i have to be the polite one and nod along like yes completely perfect choices no flaws whatsoever in those runs #just ONCE i want an 'oh fair enough' and move on in discussion

Im doing a lot of thinking abt why roleplaying feels different/less natural for me in beastlife s4 in comparison to s3, and i think it’s because there’s ways i know i should be feeling (based on the perception of my character— when i was fresh out of s2 nobody knew enough about my guy to have opinions) vs how i am feeling. I’m catching myself thinking, “it wouldn’t make sense for my character to [blank],” and it’s like… what do i mean by that. what do i mean that this feeling im having in-session “wouldnt make sense for my character” to feel? It might be surprising to other beasts who know me for one thing and expect consistency, i guess?? but in s3 i just acted on feelings and then shit happened. what. why am i trying to enforce a character that does not exist when the strength of mcrp lies in its improvisational nature. I didn’t write this guy on purpose, why am i trying to write him now

#i suppose its both the perception + higher investment from myself #I care about this story greatly now #and want it to be “good”. But there’s only so much control i have over that #Its not my job to break down the themes of the narrative and try my best to make it cohesive im here to play games and dramatics #My favorite mcrp narratives werent written on purpose. they literally just happened naturally #Imagine if i went into elysium after death thinking “how do i properly conclude my character arc”#And not “This will probably land us a conclusion. lets ball”#I think there’s also more pressure because my character is universally seen as a bad guy now so im like. ohh #What if i make him too sympathetic on accident and everyone thinks im weird irl about it #Bitch youre roleplaying with cubes. who give a fuck……#sorry for posting like you people know what im talking about btw #But i also just think mcrp is rlly interesting #beastlife #<- i guess. I use it as an organizational tag but its funny that there’s a “maintag” now #Still using it for organization though idgaf #Unrelated but I got a good scott ask earlier today in my drafts that i just remembered #The forgetter #Ftr i think its good to be somewhat narratively aware but the way i typically do it is in an entertainer sense #and not a serious serious mode writing sense. i am much more comfortable with one of these over the other #which would be why playing s4 feels a bit unnatural for me at times #not to say people who do go into mcrp with this mindset are like. wrong. it just does not work for me i think

BNHA 426 raws spoiler. No entry if you don't want that. And don't expand my tags either.

Gosh I love this. Soba being Touya's favorite was a lovely punch in the heart.

Since the siblings were distant with each other, the first thing they wanted to know is what the other's favorite food was. It's their way of trying to connect after so long.

Like how Fuyumi made their family dinner that one time. They use food as common ground.

And like how soba is Shoto's favorite, and Shoto couldn't be understood by his siblings before as someone too far away, it's the same favorite food for Touya—a kid no one in the family could look straight at, or understand.

But after finding out their favorite food, the family has a small ground to start trying to reach out and understand that prodigy that once stood too far. Learning about soba was their way of trying to reconnect.

okay

so i'm writing a DCU fan fiction, and (as I often do) I got so stuck in my own head about writing the DCU characters "accurately" that I ran myself straight into a creative brick wall. To combat this, I started reading the comics of the characters I'm using and oh my god...

I've made a lot of jokes that DC "writes fan fiction of their fan fiction"—like, it shouldn't be called The Detective Comics Universe. It should be called the Detective Comics Alternative Universes. But I had forgotten how truly inconsistent and difficult to track some of these stories and arcs are. Don't get me wrong—I absolutely love DC. I'm a die-hard DC fan, always have been and always will be.

BUT OH MY GOD

I SWEAR

I'm convinced the writers have like, a singular piece of scratch paper and they're essentially playing a game of narrative telephone between comic issues. It's absolute whiplash sometimes. I got through a major arc and am still not entirely sure what I just read.

And I feel much better about writing these characters.

re last answer: please don't stop, being very unhinged about these two pretty white boys is helping distract me from the sharks losing streak rn so bring it on

https://www.tumblr.com/bondedpairs/764566430180147200?source=share

(sideblog woes but there's the link for you) anyway in the vid they talk about going over to each other's houses to have dinner and things and while that is a delicious example of their codependence i love it bc through an rpf lens there is definitely some old man ******* going on. they can have the dilfs and each other.

(someone else mentioned kept boys which i could write an essay on but i fear being Perceived™️)

anyway if you have anything to add to this please do, if not ignore me and i will hide under a rock until the stress-related insanity has worn off and i am a functioning member of society once more 😂

- @bondedpairs

ty for the video!!! and please, WRITE THE KEPT BOYS ESSAYYYY i promise i will read it with my hands over my eyes if you don’t want to be perceived. do it scared!! do it anyway!! we’ll all love you for it!!!

#like. i don’t know how to explain how narratively aware will smith is to me. he knows he’s being put into the codependent rookies arc.#he’s aware that zeev buium transforms into a dog. he knows that he and mack aren’t getting together because mack’s gotta work it out first.#& in a less unhinged way i simply mean that will smith has an air of both self-conscious thought & projection i think is maybe fascinating.#but not in a way in which i actually know this or think that he thinks about himself and how he comes across. he just Is Something ????#the best way i can explain is one of my alltime favorite fics i use it like a shorthand citation bc i love it so much but catchascatchcan’s #many worlds universe but specifically the second tk/pat story second person you the ouroboros spits out its tale nolan walks off screen.#like that is the kind of narrative awareness i am trying to explain that no matter where i put him will smith knows he’s inside a story but #not in a way where he’s trying to do anything to it. he’s just present there. this makes no sense to me either please understand #liv in the replies #bondedpairs #happy to have brought you something in your times of woe!!! also hope things get a little less stressful for you!! <3 #we’re 2gether p much 24/7” no go on i say in my nature documentary voice. watching them like bugs under a rock rn observing from a distance #this DID get me to actually watch the video. agreed with puckpocketed saying rich text and ur tags like. YES the daddy issues popped out.#just wants to make sure he’s having fun!! checking up!! mack the prime irritance in will’s life!! foisted off on one another w/ no choice #it’s like when your parents are friends so then you have to be friends with their kids in a way and then also like. you’re the only kids #close in age to each other but they’re NOT but it is definitely not like. i would choose you for any lifetime it is very will smith hockey #(once again) very aware he has to wait for mack to settle down. like now that i’m saying this i DO want clairvoyant will smith which is not #where it goes in the first half but just in the sense of like. those silly posts that are like ‘invested early in stock!’ & it’s a picture #of braden holtby & his beautiful bisexual wife brandi back when holts was a hipster who wore skinny scarves & now everyone thinks he’s sooo #like that but it’s will smith saying my god you are insufferable but you’ll be fantastic in five years. get in the fucking car.#(yes i am drawing extensively from the one picture where will has COMPLETELY tuned him out (there is a football reasoning reference here?#with the patriots? neonfretra drew this also but it was a tweet about the teams. there’s layers to this here ANYWAY) we’re building a life #i realize after the fact i addressed neither the dilf (gilf?) fucking here nor the content of the actual video & polycules to which i say:#brain scrampled egg. the burnsie/joe/patty/(pavs???) polycule just exists to me and the kids intersect the venn diagram but in a much #smaller portion than they intersect each other in both ways (will/mack joe/the guys)#also as for the content of the video. you’re gonna have to give me at LEAST (how long did it take me until i actually started posting tzjd?#i hate that this is my metric but it really was like. i see everyone yelling about them & i’m like ok. [please ignore the irrational hatred #i have for tz at the time it has to do with moritz seider and also whenever i see him on the ice something awakens in kill mode] and i DO #blame tzjd for my 800 drafts and it took me like. a good while before i finally went OH kay. i see it. okay i can get invested. horizon at #a 45 degree angle moon in the late waxing gibbous winds scented of orange & blowing S by SW from the vortex cycle etc etc ass conditions)

sobbing over nozue’s confession scene again

#misc: thoughts #everyone talks about togawa's confession scene with good reason #but my personal favorite has always been nozue's because its just delivered so softly but with so much Conviction #and the fact that he's a lil out of breath from all the japanese bl gotta get your man running that he just did #is a lil bit of icing on the cake #all that character arc over the past 4.5 episodes just peaking and settling into something solid and true in his core #which packs such a punch for me #its one of my favorite confession scenes of all time #he's been wavering for ages and togawa's been leading and acting like the older for so long #and in this scene you can feel that stability settle and can see and feel that nozues stepping back into that maturity #that he's ready to take the step forward #that he's older (in the good sense)#like that one shot where you see togawa look /young/#AND ITS SUCH A GOOD SCENE #i have so many feelings and thoughts #the way that NOZUE IS THE ONE THAT REACHES FOR TOGAWAS HAND FIRST #GOD #ughhhhh i love them #jtv: old fashion cupcake #old fashion cupcake

The way that my friend felt disappointed when he found out as a kid that an androgynous character he idolized was a woman because he quote "couldn't relate to the character anymore" and the way that the creator of Celeste """discovered he was non-binary""" because he wrote a female character that he was able to relate to are branches off of the same vein of misogyny I think

#gender critical #misogyny #it's all about the often-subconscious belief that women are subhuman or at least inherently lesser than men for being different from them #for the first dude: literally every woman on earth who consumes media relates to so fucking many male characters. they are our favorites.#some of them are so beloved by us that we believe we must actually be men because we can relate so hard to them. i went through this myself #(which is kind of what's going on with the second dude but i'll get to that)#yet for some reason a lot of men have a hard time relating to female characters in any way similar at all. there are zero men writing #obsessive (affectionate) thoughtful intelligent analyses of their favorite female charas' arcs and symbolism #(in part because so few media have any well-written and actually-humanized female charas to be able to do that with but also...)#because men see women as possibly-human fuck toys for them and nothing else #so when even self-proclaimed/usually feminist men relate to a female character outside of 'i want to fuck this' it makes them feel weird #bc male sexuality (this includes osa men i'm sorry to say but i've observed so many men like an anthropologist i see the same behavior #in all of them) is so centered around humilation/domination/aggression that it's not compatible with compassion/empathy #so for them to relate to a female (character or person) they get this weird-feeling psychological thing kinda similar to that joke of #'if you punch yourself and it hurts are you weak or strong?' but in this case it's 'if you relate to a sex object should you start thinking #you're also a sex object or should you let go of your momentary empathy for the sex object?'#and dude no. 1 took the latter path while dude no. 2 took the former #well in a way. his thing is more like 'if i am a human (bc i'm a man) and i can relate to a woman... does that mean women are human #or does it mean i am a woman?' and he picked the second route #i know agp vs hsts is (was?) the main grouping system radfems use(d?) to explain the different types of tims #and to some extent those labels do work especially since they're centered around sexuality which plays a huge role in trans identities #but i feel like it's either more accurate to just use the following labels or at least add them into the venn diagram:#some tims are trans because they see women as sex toys and enjoy the thought of being a sex toy themselves therefore they want to be women #while other tims are trans because they've othered the sex-object class of humans so hard that if they ever accidentally relate to a woman #it's a mindblowing discovery and makes them part of The Other (women are still of course treated as The Other for this to work) and #therefore super special (and of course more special than women because they're sex objects + The Other whereas #he is a man aka a human + The Other. this is especially true when men decide they're nb like guy no. 2 as opposed to trans women because #again women = sex toy to men so any men who do not want to be objectified are a different kind of Other to women [which to them consists of #females and trans women] but they still are The Other in some way and therefore must be both a man [human] and something else)#these concepts appeal to both osa and ssa men depending on what level/flavor of misogyny they cling to most and how gnc they are

We could've had a season-long Nathan/Simi romcom with mistaken identities; candle-lit discussions of leadership styles; mutual recognition of anger as a totally valid respond to oppression and abuse; scenes with Sam ranging from hilariously awkward to achingly heartfelt; and a diorama of Simi's kitchen.

#ted lasso #nathan shelley #simi #i don't have anything against sam x simi other than the usual 'don't date your employees' thing #but i think a nathan x simi arc would have solved some of this season's problems #like sam having very little to do #or nathan just not appearing in whole episodes #or simi not having a last name or a backstory #i'm not arguing for a love triangle by any means #more of a wacky farce situation where nathan and simi don't immediately grok their shared connection to sam #there's a some close calls where sam and nathan just miss running into each other #maybe facilitated by a pair of swinging doors?#it's a very sweet undefined friendship between nathan and simi until the restaurant's soft opening party #which simi invites nathan to because schmoozing is her least favorite part of the job #and as confident as she is in her culinary skills #she is still a young professional and 'how to make high stakes small talk with millionaires who can make or break your career'#was not something her university course thought to include #so nathan shows up and he opens the door to find the entirety of afc richmond and trent crimm for god knows what reason #he bolts because he wants to survive the night #cue hurt feelings on both sides followed by the start of an actual romance #which sam now knows about #he Has Opinions about the age difference which spiral into sam mourning the loss of his first adult romance #made all the more complicated by the one-sided nature of that relationship created by the power rebecca holds over #sam's life and livelihood (including where he works and lives)#meanwhile simi and nathan go on parallel professional journeys hand in hand #maybe they stay together long term #maybe their romance lasts as long as this phase in their lives #but in any case they're friends for life #also what if nathan was sitting on a counter while simi was developing a dish #and she got a stain on her uniform and he spot treated it with common kitchen items and then they kiss?

always baffled by the older students in nintama being presented as these cool awesome upperclassmen who know everything when they’re like, 15 at most but that really is how high schoolers look to you when you’re ten years old

#i say cool and awesome which they ARE but theyre also total losers wearing a trenchcoat labeled i have everything under control (LYING)#which is also to be fair exactly how i thought i was when i was like 13 so #quirinahscreams #like when youre a kid and you have older friends or older friends siblings theyre like the coolest people in the universe to you #which is pretty on brand for nintama but then you get an episode centered around the upperclassmen #the 5th years vs 6th years saga was my favorite arc though because everyone is appropriately very goofy #but also theres fight scenes it's awesome. i think monjiro blocked a strike with his abacus which was kinda funny #watch nintama propaganda

for the not dating thing, aziraphale & crowley (gomens or spn take ur pick :))

Do you know, Ana, I think you're the only one here who can actually remember my ancient crush on SPN Crowley from all those years ago. 'Twas truly as if a demon possessed me in those dark days. And as soon as I emerged from it I was baffled. What was all that about, I asked myself. How did this stupidly undeveloped antagonist with a bald spot and an accent have me so enthralled just because he had a little sobbing meltdown that one time, I wondered. Surely this will not happen again, I said.

Anyways there are so many clear reasons not to date Fergie here that it's an obvious no with the sole exception of ONLY if I got to take him and Castiel on a double (er, one and a half, I guess) date IMMEDIATELY after they both became human in 8x23, thus catapulting both of them into an actual meaningful character arc where their transformations stick for more than 3 episodes. If the Winchesters try to bother the three of us while I do this I'll fucking kill us all with a grenade btw. Anyways

Aziraphale & Crowley

I love them so much and it’d be so tempting (lmao) but unfortunately I just don’t think they’re ready to add a third to their relationship yet. Like they’re in a really good place right now but I think they’re gonna need at least another century to be up for that. Aziraphale contains foibles and eccentricities the way humans contain water, of course, so he’s never not a challenge. But I think probably the biggest issue would be that Crowley would be completely neurotic about the whole thing. He would ask you which of them you liked better secretly deep down and if you said “Aziraphale” he would turn into a snake and pout in a hole for a month straight and if you said anything else besides “Aziraphale” he’d be flabbergasted and offended. You don’t agree that Aziraphale is the bestest most important entity ever created in the entire universe??? Oh!! Oh!! Jail for you!!! Jail for you for Six Thousand Years!!!!!!

Also “OP what about dating just one of them on their own?” Are you out of your damn mind. Are you insane. Look me in the eyes. Do Not Separate Them.

#HI ANA THANK YOU FOR THE ASK <3 #I don't care about SPN anymore except for the finale of Season 8 Episode 23 ''Sacrifice'' which I'm cursed with ruminating on forever ig #They were making him a series regular anyways. The redemption arc was right there. They held it in their hands.#And then they threw it away like a bunch of mindless apes. As usual. Mr. Sheppard thank you for your service in this doomed hopeless battle #Not saying him getting a redemption arc was even a good idea btw but like. At least it was a fucking idea. Anyways #The idea of Crowziraphale in a formal Open Relationship with like Polyamory Negotiations and everything is so funny to me #I know headcanons on this topic vary widely but IMO my favorite headcanon is that the two of them only ever fell for one (1) human each #in all their 6000 years #and it was Oscar Wilde and Freddy Mercury respectively #it feels like the kind of thing that would have fit perfectly into canon as a little footnote somewhere in the book lol #Starky loves answering questions #babysgarage
