What a beautiful place.

An honour to come and visit and be part of the family.

Thank you for painting my helmet for the race, it will make me faster no doubt!

One day I will come and help make the trophy that I will then win on the weekend!

Once again an honour!

Thank you

Lando

If I ever include a dog as a significant feature of any story I write... I will make sure to kill it in a suitably gruesome fashion.

Not because I don't care for dogs IRL, but because I'm really annoyed at how pissy people will get about dogs dying in fiction, more than humans dying.

tagged by @ratheralark, thank you!

Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or however many you like).

I've been writing a story for nano that combines cdrama vibes, a joan of arc plot and a fantasy world where demons exist and everyone gets mild visions of the future:

The first prince's consort was a pale woman with more beauty than personality. Her hair was worked up in gorgeous loops, her silk gown was uncreased and she gave the impression of getting wrapped in tissue paper instead of sleeping each night.

I'm tagging @somuchbetterthanthat @starkey @mysunfreckle if they want to!

talking with andy, so now im thinking about Bruce lmao, mostly the fact that you have to fanonize characters to a certain extent to basically define what Kind of character youre serving, there are too many differences between canons that it can be Really hard to pin down who youre even talking about.

Im sure my Bruce is irrevocably colored by my love of UTRH, Batgirl(s), and Metal, and that i usually prefer my bruce as part of the batfam and not as part of the wider DC universe

At his core, Bruce is a messy messy character, and thats what makes him so fun tbh, hes got this high stubbornness that bulldozes the line right into ego, where he is convinced that he is right and doesn't need to tell anyone else things, so many stories play out because Bruce is on a Mission and doesn't tell anyone else the important details leading to someone else stumbling into his Mission and things going fubar

he tries to logic and reason his way out of every situation, leading to him not taking people's feeling into account, but then when he gets overly emotional (usually when hes out of his depth and overwhelmed) he lashes out in anger and ends up hurting people (sometimes literally, re baterang)

but i think that after jason's death bruce had a very hard time being a father figure and not a commanding officer and Tim does not make that Any Easier (not that i blame Tim for Bruce's fuck ups, hell no, but Tim does Not want to be parented in Any situation). I think about how long it took Cass to get adopted vs Jason and go ://// I think that difference alone makes it clear just how Bruce was doing after Death in the Family.

even after jason's back he's still mourning his son, and there are some great fics that have talked about that, mourning is not something you can really stop even if the person in question comes back i don't think, the trauma is still there no matter what

In a more meta sense, DC writers doing grimdark made him honestly genuinely unlikable, if you hate grimdark bruce i do Not blame you, making Batman all "grounded" and "gritty" just makes me root for the rogue to put me out of my friggen misery already

I think on some level a lot (if not most) of us are projecting our issues and lack thereof with our fathers onto Bruce, either he reminds you of your father (affectionate) or (derogatory). I know im definitely projecting mine!

That's kinda why i write him as a messy fuck up that does his best and fucks up anyway but ultimately tries to get better. I let his kids forgive him for his mistakes, and he forgives them for theirs, cause thats what i want to see

Sorry for the prolonged silence... Let's just say, things with my coworker went really well and he's now my boyfriend. Which means, my free time has suddenly gotten even more limited... But to be honest, I'm not really missing tumblr right now. 😅

Ford understanding the language of the Fae but not Latin is such an amusing concept that feels remarkably in-character. you can't tell me otherwise.

Not a bad Taylor swift question at all!! She has made two albums for a lot of her albums because music law and contracts are very weird. Basically, the majority of the money made from her albums went to the company that owns her albums, not her, so she found a way to take ownership of her music by re-recording her old stuff and releasing it now! (This is probably not a great explanation, but a short version is re-recording and releasing her old music gives her the ownership and credit over the songs). I hope this helps!

Bruce 110% knows it’s Jason. Having an adoption problem like that man has, having raised them all to be mask wearing vigilantes AND being the World’s Greatest Detective™️, there is no way he does not know his children on SIGHT

But he also knows where his children came from, understands why it might be hard for Jason to just ask him for money, so he lets them do this. No one is getting harmed by it anyway. That’s why Bruce just gives them the money without The Bat showing up like he usually would

Besides, it means he gets to talk to Jason on the phone so everybody wins

i’ll bet when jason is short on money he calls tim and is like “hey bud can we stage a kidnapping to get bruce to send me ransom money” and tim’s just like “lol yeah fuck it”

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation

because WHAT are people talking about sometimes
