[poisonousquinzel]

sometimes the takes I see in the Harley Quinn tag are just beyond stupid.

but fun fact, this is a Straight moment. Cause there's actually just no universes where they read as Gay. None at all. A provable fact.

Batgirl Adventures

c'mon is it gay to be able to Play with your bestie in an implied sexual manner? totally not. Big Straight moment.

Batgirl Adventures

Love calling my straight bestie, as a straight, bay-bee. Nothing to see here, just hets being hets.

Ladies, is it gay to wax poetry about the woman you're going to / just had wild, loud sex with?

"But there is nothing to say.

Because you already know my heart.

I showed you everything--the darkest corners of myself--and you still came back.

What else is love?"

Case closed.

Just a couple of readably platonic, heterosexual besties.

We're just imagining all the subtext, coding and flat out confirmations.

We're the illiterate ones ig. Clearly, that's all Straight behavior.

There's nothing in any universe they've ever appeared in that actually reads as Gay, it's all just Bruce Timm and co being horny and thinking Ladies Kissing Hot, and that's IT. all the years worth of content that's not even written by Timm, Conner or Palmiotti is IRRELEVANT!

If you consume any of their comics and read them as Gay, that's on you!

Maybe it's my personal bias, but a dark Ahsoka trying to get back in to the WBW because the whole mess from Anakin and then never actually processing her feelings, grief, anger etc leading her to thinking she can "fix" everything by "saving" Anakin. Not really thinking of the repercussions.

And have it be that she isn't trying to change the timeline for selfless reasons, but because she wants Anakin back. That misplaced sort of blame that comes when you over idolize someone. It was only Palpatine's fault, she tries to believe, Anakin wouldn't have done this all unprompted.

In trying to get back to the WBW having her actually process her emotions and the events and realize she's putting herself and her former master on pedestals to cope. Gradually working on herself.

Or not. Idk having Ahsoka unhealthily cope with grief in a way almost paralleling Anakin (trying to cheat death for Padme and failing anyway) sounds cool to me. Or maybe I'm just exhausted.

This would certainly make a real cool AU! The one thing making me hesitate is that she explicitly says while in the WBW in Rebels that Ezra can't save his master just like she can't save hers and never shows any real inclination towards trying to use it to save Anakin. So if you went with this concept, you'd have to figure out why she changed her mind on it or you'd just have to pretend like that moment didn't happen.

But in general I think that the idea really works! Like, I wouldn't want her to actually MAKE IT to the WBW or anything, I don't want any weird time travel shenanigans for her to mess with, but I think the idea of her TRYING to get back to it so she can fix Anakin, or fix what she did wrong or something could be a really interesting goal for her to have throughout a season where she's dealing with her Anakin feelings. Especially if we assume she's slightly fucked up from Malachor and its Sith bullshit in addition to her regular emotional struggles.

And in the she has to give it up. Like maybe she finds a way to do it, a way to open one of those doors, but doing so would have some sort of consequence and she has to choose between her selfish desire to "save" Anakin and fix what she believes are her own mistakes, or keeping that particular consequence from happening. Maybe people she's grown close to over the course of the story will be killed or put at risk if she opens the door, and she has to let it go, let ANAKIN go, in order to protect them.

That version of Anakin is gone, he's dead, and the version of him that exists now is clearly unwilling to be saved, at least by her, and all she can do is accept that and move on. Let go of her guilt, let go of her fears, just... let go. MAYBE her choice to leave the Order spurred him down that path, but maybe it didn't. Maybe Anakin made his own choices based on things entirely unrelated to her. Maybe if she'd been there she could've helped him, but maybe she'd have just been killed with all the rest. She'll never know and she has to come to terms with that before she can move forward with her life. She might've left first, but Anakin left her, too, and he took everything else she loved with him when he did.

In an ideal world, this would lead Ahsoka to do a lot of reflecting on her past with Anakin as she tries to figure out how far back she'd have to go to "save" him and she realizes just how dark he already was when she knew him and ultimately realizes that HE WAS DARK WHEN SHE MET HIM. There were things that happened to him, things he'd probably already chosen to DO, long before she'd met him that were already taking him down the path to darkness, things she'll likely never know or understand. But it allows her to see Anakin so much more truthfully than she'd ever done before. No longer does she view Anakin through the rosy lens of childhood hero worship, she can see how often he struggled with his own darkness and the ways it impacted their relationship, the way it's continuing to impact her NOW.

There were good moments, and she'd loved him, but he was dark long before she knew him and that's something she HAS to accept about him if she's ever going to let him go. There were things Anakin did to her that weren't okay, there were things Anakin taught her that were wrong and caused her to start down her own darker path, and until she can recognize that Anakin FAILED HER, she'll never be able to find her way BACK. She'll never be a Jedi until she acknowledges this very important and vital truth about Anakin and her apprenticeship under him. He WASN'T a good master and he WASN'T a good Jedi. He was sometimes a good PERSON, but he'd ultimately decided to leave that behind, too. He wasn't the person she'd thought he was and unless she wants to become him, she has to acknowledge where he made mistakes so she can keep from making the same ones herself.

So yeah, I think this idea has a LOT of merit and could definitely be a very interesting path to take Ahsoka on!

Thinking of blorbos again.

Didn’t include LQR or LWJ because adoptive daddy LWJ would win too easily. And if I don’t include him on grounds that he’s not a biological father, I can’t include LQR either.

Of course adoptive & foster fathers are 10000% valid dads, and sometimes better than the kid’s biological one. So definitely not knocking adoption or fostering. Just don’t want poll results massively skewed in favour of one of the main characters! I just wanna run this poll focusing on some of the other dad characters lol

Reblog for bigger sample size, to support your fave DILF, and because that’s what we do on tunglr dot com

Will be making a MILF version too of course :3

Iron Gold needs Lyria:

I had an incredible discussion a while back with @violetqueenofwands about how Lyria in Iron Gold is a glimpse into Eo living. But also more than that, because Lyria is a bit 'forced' to live Eo's dream, she didn't ask for this.

If Eo lived, she'd also be heartbroken and angry and maybe unsure of who to trust, aside from the people screaming loudly things she wants to hear and that she feels.

But Lyria is her own person, she is lonely and lost and has no back up, or at least not enough to feel safe, not enough to feel loved.

Things just happen to her, so she tries to adapt each time, but she has not proccessed her feelings at all. When she tries to grieve, she tries to connect or she tried to make friends, she is interrupted. So she goes back to the feelings she used to help her survive, it's an instict for her.

Lyria did not dream of owning land or being free. She dreamt of being a HellDiver - a hero of her people, a provider. When they took that away from her, she was left with no dreams.

Lyria hasn't fully grasped why the Red Hand kills Gammas, why things aren't as black and white as she would like them to be at the beginning of Iron Gold. She learns as she goes, especially once chooses her own path.

Eo too decides to do what she can for the cause she believes in, limited worldview or not.

I don't think I would call them foils, but certainly, they sort of echo in a few ways. What would a girl who had to live Eo's dream look like? I find that a beautiful idea for a story.

and what if i say people calling out kaitlyn denver for zionism over being upset about her cast as abby and NOT calling out neil druckmann, any of the other cast or focusing on the fact the WLF and Seraphites is thinly disguised zionism and a weak attempt at neutrality that was immediately ditched by neil in recent events comes off more as misogynistic attacks rather than an actual care for the Palestinian people, what then? because that’s the vibe i’m getting off of a lot of people.

The Doctor not actually being able to talk and confide in the real Donna literally had me sobbing and screaming

also i feel like "adoption bait" jokes are like,, only funny maybe once, and the reality of bruce is actually trying to Not bring in more kids but everyone after jason forced themselves into the family is Way more interesting for dpxdc fics. especially in bad fenton parents aus?

the thing is, bruce has a lot of hesitance with bringing new people in, especially kids because 1. they will not be safe even if they don't become vigilantes 2. they can't be trusted 3. it's a lot harder for everyone to hide who they are if they bring a civilian in and 4. bruce now feels responsible for the life of Another kid. like,, i get why people make the adoption jokes, but i think the angst potential is so much more interesting than "bruce and co immediately want to adopt danny".

like can you imagine an au with bad fenton parents and danny is still a teen and he's heard about how bruce/batman brings in sad cases. maybe, just maybe this guy could actually help him? give him a safe home? or maybe danny doesn't want to be adopted right away but slowly bonds with the family and eventually wants to be included. the heartache knowing that bruce doesn't want that to happen. like?? hello!!!

there's sooo much you could do with bruce not wanting more kids in the family!!! so much!!!

Ed recovery with autism and adhd is so weird.

Like I'll either forget to eat lunch entirely or I'll forget when I ate last and end up eating lunch 3 seperate times instead.

Then sometimes I have to literally ask my girlfriend if I'm hungry because I don't fucking know what my body is feeling ever and she's usually like "Yeah you should eat".

Then when I go to prepare food it's like:

Me: okay body so how much food do you want

Body: hm...m... food...?

Me: yes food. But HOW MUCH

Body: uhh... s e v e r a l

Me: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

And then I end up making too much for me to eat (thank God I'm allowed to not eat all of my food now- I hated that rule so much growing up) but its still so goddamn confusing skgjfjfhff
