sorry but do you ever think about the fact that the bernard we have today is a direct amalgamation of everything that happened in his past and i know that sound like such an obvious statement to say but it actually kills me to know that you can draw a direct line from who he is today all the way back to that sixteen year old boy who watched his best friend bleed out. like it is the defining moment in his life. it fundamentally shaped who he is and the person he's become. he is the bernard we know and love not despite the grieves shooting but because of it. because the gangs all got together and shot up his school. because tim walked out of that room with nothing but a baseball bat. because his darla got shot. because he watched her gasp and cry as she died. because he watched the blood coagulate around the wound. because he sat there and held her hand as her life drained out of her. because he walked into school that day with a joke he knew would make her laugh and her nose would scrunch up and she'd snort a little and tim would roll his eyes at him and call him ridiculous and instead he walked out with a bloody white shirt, blood under his fingernails, and two friends less. because, even now, almost half a decade out from the shooting, he thinks that if he closes his eyes, he will always be that stupid, scared little sixteen year old, holding the cooling body of dead best friend.
#there is a direct throughline from the boy we meet in robin 121 all the way to man tim reconnects with in urban legends 4#like maybe you guys have other interpretations of it but to me this is *the* defining moment in his life#and that's not to say that he perpetually bound to this traumatic event but it impacted him sooo much that his life is now divided#before shooting and after shooting#like you cannot tell me him falling into the cult was just something that happened to him#it happened bc he was in such a bad place from watching his friend die and then on top of that he loses contact with tim!!!!#this is his canon event!!!!#if you took it away from him if you made it so that he never had to go through it#the bernard we would get would not be the same bernard we got in urb leg4 and tdr#does it not make you want to chew on drywall that to get to the bear we love he has watch his darla die first????#head in hands head in hands#and it wasnt like batman came immediately after darls died!!! iirc they had to wait a little before he came#which means!!!!! alll those kids but bear esp had to sit in that room with darls' dead body until batman came!!!!!#do you think he cried and held her hand until batman came??? do you think he begged her not to go??? or do you think he told her#stories and made promises of all the things they were gonna do after they got out??? do you think he put pressure on the wound and#watched as the blood soaked through the jacket they were using as a towel??? and when she finally passed do you think he bit his lip#clean through to stop himself from wailing? bc if he's too loud the gunmen will hear them and he cannot be the reason jay from#history dies#auuuugh i cant fucking do this anymore#bernard dowd#timbern#darla aquista#louis grieve trio

YELLING OVER YOUR LATEST POST. NOT ONLY DO I HAVE A MASSIVE JJK HYPERFIXATION BUT I LITERALLY STUDY CLASSICS ABSVSBSNSJDJSS. I am the exact audience for this I am so in love with it you have no idea 😭😭 How do you manage to hit me every time omg
AJ!!!!! YOU STUDY CLASSICS???? INCREDIBLE
also i wanted to originally make it closer to canon. so the roles would be switched. nanami, who leaves the jujutsu world (ithaca) and goes on a long treacherous (capitalism) journey (the odyssey) only to find his way back to the jujutsu world/gojo (penelope) and when he's back he meets yuji (telemachus).
the slaying of the suitors can be when yuji and nanami beat the shit out of mahito. does this work? idk, you tell me. but the idea of gojo being odysseus and nanami being penelope waiting back home tricking his suitors was infinitely more enticing than the canon-sompliant version.
also the odyssey!nng fic is being written!!! do you want to read it????
anyway, you can't be in love with me bc im in love with you!!! my family is sick of hearing about the timbern drawing you did for the veil!au. i love you always aj <33333

i must not look at the word count. the word count is the mind-killer. the word count is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the word count. i will permit it to pass over me and through me. and when it has gone past i will turn the inner eye to see its path. where the word count has gone there will be nothing. only the fic will remain.

Hi I’m looking for a Yuki and Pierre video, can you, or others you might know, help me?
It’s a video I’ve only seen a gif set of on tumblr, where they’re doing the tennis ball reaction exercise, along the lines of yuki going to put his hands in Pierre’s, Pierre saying no to this, and yuki saying they got used to holding hands, and then Pierre replying ‘not on tv’
In the corner of the gifs I remember it says ‘F1 Time’ which may refer to the channel or production it was from :)
is it this one?

was it casual when i sat in your lap in public? was it casual when i said "recently my heart is crying because you're leaving"? was it casual when we decided how your last name would fit with mine? ("yuki tsunoda-gasly" / "no tsunoda, only gasly" / "yuki gasly?") was it casual when we sang adele's "someone like you" together at your going away party? was it casual when i knew it was you just by touching your ass? was it casual when i knew it was you by smell alone? was it casual when "will you miss me?" / "for 2-3 minutes maybe" / "i'll take that. even if it's just 2-3 minutes, i'll take that"? was it casual when that bus was completely empty and we still sat right next to each other, all the way in the back? was it casual when i picked you up multiple times so you could dunk a basketball? was it casual when i begged to come over to your house multiple time and then you finally let me and we cooked fried rice together? was it casual when we played christmas twister together and i said "your big eggplant is touching my ass"? was it casual when we were pressed up against each other on a scooter going two miles per hour? was it casual when-

I think people have talked at length about the fact that bnha ended up basically being super pro-cop and delivered nothing on its narrative critiquing hero society. but one thing I haven't seen commentary on yet is how bizarre the narrative on abuse is. bnha is a series where abusive father figures (e.g. endeavor, overhaul, shigaraki's father) and neglectful parents (e.g. toga's family) have been the origin for marginalization of children and, in the cases of the league, their eventual descent into actual crime and villainy. yet the single most prominent abusive father figure of the series (endeavor) got a redemption arc, while the second-most prominent abusive father (overhaul) got to survive. yet the children who suffered abuse (toga, shigaraki, touya) were not worthy of redemption nor even survival. it has very bleak implications on who gets a second chance in life and who doesn't. this is possibly the worst narrative on childhood abuse I have ever consumed btw lol
