˚༄࿔ thinking of musician ellie who’s a total yapper on stage

i’m imagining those tiktok compilations like “… core” with music in the background

⭐︎ reading signs from the audience while her band (jesse and dina ofc) prepare for the next song like…

“this one says ‘ellie why did you invite so many people to our first date?’” the audience laughs and so does ellie, “sorry, the next one will just be us.” she says with a wink.

⭐︎ girls throwing lacy bras on stage and ellie holding them up to her own chest (that look comically big next to her) and saying, “this is not my size.” >:(

⭐︎ her going on absolute rants in between songs like “dude the weed in europe is way stronger, what the fuck are you putting in this shit? i thought i was dying.”

⭐︎ if her band is just her, jesse, dina she’d be like “we’re like boygenius…but with a man.” and they spend five minutes arguing about who’s who.

“how did we decide i’m julien?”

“because you’re short and gay, ellie.”

⭐︎ her trying to hold a lesbian (or other pride flag), getting tangled in it, and whispering “fuck” into the microphone in between lyrics.

⭐︎ tripping over wires on stage and telling everyone in the crowd to “delete that video right now. i’m not kidding.” as dina is laughing in the back.

⭐︎ reading more signs. “okay, okay this one says ‘it’s my birthday’ guys we gotta sing.” and singing happy birthday to a random fan.

⭐︎ handing fans the microphone and letting them tell stories about their crazy exes “she slept with your mom?” and she’d look the camera projecting her image on the screen behind her and back at the person. “what the fuck, dude.” while laughing behind a hand.

I feel like I've complained about Tim's email situation in Gotham Knights before (edit: I have), but the truth of it is just so funny.

He's signed up for so many podcasts, video game streamers, and random news alerts; it's just a constant barrage of data going straight into his constantly whirring brain. Hell, he even floats the idea of the Batfamily having their own podcast as a way to correct misinformation about them (which Jason shoots down instantly), and it's made me realize something.

Timothy Drake would be a YouTuber.

In this universe specifically, Timothy Jackson Drake, the heir to Drake Industries and the foster son of the late Bruce Wayne would be a YouTuber.

Think about it. It'd be the perfect cover. Who would ever suspect that some 16-year-old nepo baby with a YouTube channel could ever be Red Robin? You'd have to be mad. I mean, look at him.

Red Robin just dropped out of literal thin air and garotted someone four times his size, and you expect anyone to believe that's the same kid who does 24-hour Minecraft charity streams and occasionally drops 6-hour video essays (his last one was on Lex Luthor's illegal bit mining operation on the moon)?

That kid?

You think that kid is Red Robin?

Ch'yah, okay, sure. And the Joker is funny 🤡.

dbf!Joel headcanons

warnings: big, though unspecified age gap, 18+ (as always)

note: Uni has been kicking my ass, so I’ve only had time for some headcanons lately. This Joel is very sweet, but I’m open to writing sleazy or dark Joel, too! If you have requests for any headcanons, I will be able to write them even during this stressful time. Full fics will take me a while longer. Enjoy reading, my loves <3 and feel free to add stuff!

He doesn’t really know how to cook well and mostly eats his faves every day but when you stay over more and more he makes an effort to learn and actually finds out he really likes it

Whatever pressure your parents put on you, he relieves it by accepting it rather than trying to fix it for you — you can just exist around him without expectation

He worries the age difference means you don’t have much to talk about, so he watches your favourite show that you mentioned and although it certainly wouldn’t have been his first pick, it lets him unwind. He likes watching something he knows you’ve watched and loved when you’re not around, it makes him feel closer to you

When he first starts looking at you differently he blue balls himself so as not to disrespect you — when he has sex with someone to relieve himself, he accidentally says your name to them

He keeps a polaroid of you in his wallet and cashiers wonder why he smiles at his debit card so much

He finds it hard to stay friends with your dad, because it makes him feel weird about this dynamic with you. He distances himself from your parents after they react badly to the news of your relationship, not because of guilt or cowardice, but because he doesn’t tolerate how they treat you

He thought he would hate the gossip after the two of you go public, but when you do, he finds himself imagining knocking you up just so everyone knows what he does to you. He opts for lots of hickeys until kids might be a possibility, but that doesn’t stop him from pretending you don’t have an IUD when he finishes inside of you

He loves when you wear his clothes, but when you forget your scarf at his place he wears it and enjoys that just as much — it smells like you and he likes the idea of people being able to tell it’s somebody else’s

When he figures out how much you like him talking to you during sex, he starts using the same voice/phrases in public to get you flustered & wet for him

He keeps everything that reminds him of you, like parking tickets etc. He doesn’t do anything with those things, doesn’t put them in a box, so they linger around his house, reminding him of you the way photographs would, except more privately

He starts “putting in an effort” for you when you start dating: styling his hair & wearing clothes he thinks you would prefer, until you tell him you like nothing more than his flannels and band tees and jeans, and although he doesn’t tell you, he’s beyond relieved. He realises you like him for him

When you tell your parents, Joel asks your father to hit him because “he knows he deserves it”. With time he learns he also deserves your kisses and smiles. Those things coexist within him, he thinks both are true

Despite completely supporting you in your pursuit of a degree & career, he likes when you’re on holiday, waiting around for him in his house wearing nothing but a pair of panties he bought for you & one of his hoodies. During those lazy weeks, he fucks you morning, afternoon, and night: before he leaves, when he gets home, and right before you go to sleep

He buys you a ring during the first week of dating because you mentioned how much you like it. He doesn’t give it to you until he knows you feel certain about him — he doesn’t want to freak you out. Still, even before that, he sometimes looks at it in its little black box and envisions it on your finger

During your first couple of “public dates” (neighbourhood barbecue where your parents are present etc.) he refrains from touching you much, although everyone knows about your relationship. You have to take his hand and initiate small touches for him to feel more comfortable

It takes him a short while, but then he loves being able to touch you in front of people: a hand on your lower back, an arm across your shoulder, his fingers lacing through yours, him pulling your back against his front and wrapping his arms around you. People stare sometimes (your Dad breaks one or two wine glasses in his hand), but Joel stops caring when he sees how happy it makes you

He tells you that you can change things about his home, that it should feel like your place, too and asks if you want to go shopping for “candles and stuff”, but you love being in a space that feels completely like him. It’s not how your apartment looks, but it makes you feel at ease, like you’re somehow living inside of him

Before he tells you he loves you, he whispers it in your ear when you’re sleeping, hoping your subconscious will somehow pick up on it. When he does tell you while you’re awake for the first time, it’s during breakfast. You stub your toe, and let out a string of curses you must have picked up on from him, and while he presses ice against your foot, kneeling in front of you, he smiles up and tells you: I love you.

The first time you sleep over at his house after he spent the night in your apartment, two brand new bottles of the shampoo and conditioner you use are in his shower. You thank him and jokingly ask why he didn’t buy your shower gel, too. He kisses you and tells you he likes when you smell like him.

He likes making you come more times than you thought you could — something about moving in and out of you while you tell him you can’t do it again, that you’re done, and then watching you fall apart on his cock anyway, thrills him to the bone. It makes him feel powerful, but part of it is knowing you let him fuck you without expecting an orgasm, that him being inside of you is enough for you to feel good

He doesn’t tell you, but he adds your name to his car insurance, so that you can drive it whenever you want

When you figure it out you give him road head every time the two of you drive somewhere — until he almost crashes the car and he forbids you to tempt him while he’s behind the wheel

He’s so nervous he asks Tommy for help when picking out a birthday gift for you — Tommy goes overboard and the gift turns out to be something completely ridiculous like a pair of huge earrings you would never wear. You tell Joel you don’t need a big fuss to feel loved by him. At night, he gives you a present he’s been wanting to give you for a while: he plays you a song he wrote for you on his guitar. It’s quiet and simple and so perfect you cry for half an hour

He doesn’t sleep well when you’re not around, and loves being close to you at night. If he could, he’d sleep nestled inside of you after a round of lazy midnight sex every night

As much as Tommy annoys him, it makes him happy to see how well you two get along. When you become actual friends with Tommy and hang out with him on your own, he’s more than pleased: the two people he loves the most in the world have become close

He would never ask it of you, but when you tell him you have stopped masturbating because he fucks you so often, it pleases him deeply. He likes being the only source of your pleasure. When you are apart for a while because of work/collage etc., he buys you a toy he can control from his phone

He tells Tommy he thinks he’s going to marry you during the first month of dating, which you find out about only on your wedding day during Tommy’s speech

[isabela-merceds]

they finally come face to face after the cliff and this is it? their confrontation? im bashing my face into a wall because why?!

to go from jun-ho learning that in-ho wanted him alive no matter what, to them speaking on the radio and in-ho telling him to turn back because he could die, and then jun-ho finally finding the island to find his brother to...this. a massive hug to every hwang brothers fan thinking we'd have a full flashback episode and confrontation between the brothers with gi-hun learning the truth about them being brothers and jun-ho lying to him. truly unfair.

Ker (keres, plural) goddess of violent death

it has come to my attention that when there is Thanatos, the god of gentle death, then there must be another personification of death but of the violent kind and i just found out that they're called the Keres. very shallow research later and i wanted Ker personified in hades game style fashion

took some liberties on how they've become a horde of battlefield body scavenging daughters of Nyx and Erebus, Night and Darkness, and made them all start from a single goddess (Ker) but violent deaths suddenly came at a surplus and so more help was needed hence the death-spirits known as Keres. These death-spirits are likened to the very first iteration of Ker so they're more savage with a single-minded focus and purpose. They did not inherit her capacity of speech nor for scavenging of little trinkets in battlefields.

˚༄࿔ jackson ellie and you being so so in love with each other…

warnings! GAY GAY GAY! mentions of smut.

⭐︎ going on patrols together and she’s just smiling like the biggest dork because you’re pointing out how that smell of spring is finally coming back but she’s just watching the tip of your nose move the tiniest bit when you talk.

⭐︎ bathing or showering after patrols and you’re massaging the shampoo into her scalp and she’s about to fall asleep because oh my god what the fuck it feels so good.

⭐︎ ellie being a bit reserved with pda or defining your relationship in public (like how we see her uncertainty with cat in her journal!) and being over the moon when you refer to her as her girlfriend. like maybe you two are at the tipsy bison and you’re talking with some newcomers…

“mhm! my girlfriend, ellie, has been reading me the comics, she’s collected tons of them!”

⭐︎ the two of you sneaking out of jackson with dina and jesse to go swimming in a nearby like and they won’t stop teasing the two of you.

“oh my god you two are so gay.” dina would say with mock disgust. and you can’t even deny it because you are so gay, especially when ellie takes her shirt off and only wearing a sports bra underneath.

⭐︎ waking up next to her in her garage in the colder months and just snuggling up to her for warmth. she tries to rub her icicle feet on your legs until you threaten to get up and go home. this would only make her hold you tighter and grumble something like nooo don’t leave in a raspy, half-awake voice.

⭐︎ pulling ellie to the dance floor at events and her getting all flushed and smiley. staring into her eyes or at her lips because you know it makes her flush harder.

⭐︎ ellie loving the idea of being rebellious and sneaking you in or out of her garage went joel isn’t looking (even if he knows about your relationship). she’d be so silly about it.

whisper yelling, “go now he’s not looking!”

“oh my god ellie you’re such a nerd!” you’d reply at full volume, leaving through the front door.

⭐︎ throwing ellie a suprise party for her birthday at the tipsy bison. it turning out to be extremely challenging because she was insisting that she would rather just stay in for her birthday but you had gotten all of her friends to hideout in the bar for half an hour at this point.

⭐︎ ellie genuinely being surprised when the lights flicker on and everyone she knows is yelling “happy birthday!” and her standing in shock, realizing why you were so persistent about going out tonight.

⭐︎ walking in on ellie (attempting to) cut her own hair and she’s royally fucked it up and now it’s your job to fix it. her grumpy pout in the mirror as you lecture her about just waiting for you to come home so you could cut it.

⭐︎ getting walked in on (maybe multiple times). once in ellie’s garage when neither of you heard joel’s knocks so he invites himself in and ellie had to panickingly throw the blankets over you two. then another time on patrol when dina and jesse came back from scoping out some supplies and they found you on a couch. and then maybe again when maria went looking for you two after a dance and you were tucked in an alleyway.

⭐︎ hanging out at a lake just outside of jackson and ellie’s sketching you.

“why’re you staring at me?” you’d giggle.

“cause you’re so pretty.” she’d reply, just her eyes peaking out from over her journal.

“lemme see what you’re drawing.” you’d say as your sit up.

“no!” she laugh, pulling the notebook away from your grasp.

“ellieuhhh, you’re so lame.”

I'm honestly so glad they introduced a new protagonist. Not just because Rook is a darling, but also because Inquisitor would have been a horrible choice for the story they wrote.

[elliespuns]

Jealous Joel Miller

Ah, gruff man jealousy. It's a fascinating facet of his character, and one that's definitely present, albeit expressed in his very Joel way. It's not the raging, screaming jealousy of a melodramatic soap opera. It's something much more; contained, simmering, and frankly, more intimidating because of it.

Scenario 1: The Unknowing Newcomer in Jackson

Imagine you're chatting with someone new to Jackson, maybe at the communal garden or while picking up supplies. This newcomer is friendly, a little flirty even, completely oblivious to the fact you're with the Joel Miller. Here's how it might play out:

Joel isn't outwardly possessive in a clingy way. He gives you space and trusts you. But his senses are always on high alert. He'd likely be watching from a distance, assessing the situation. He'd notice this newcomer engaging with you, gauge their demeanor, their body language, and most importantly, your reaction. He wouldn't immediately storm over like a bull. Joel is tactical. He'd probably casually stroll over, not with a threatening air at first, but with a clear purpose. He might put a hand on your shoulder or your lower back, a possessive gesture that isn't aggressive but utterly definitive. He'd likely interject with a simple "Everything alright here?" or just a direct "Hey." His voice would be deeper than usual, maybe a touch gravelly. He'd look directly at the newcomer, his gaze steady and intense. He wouldn't be overtly rude, but his presence alone would radiate a clear message: she's with me. If the newcomer is particularly dense or keeps being overly familiar, Joel might become a touch more direct. It could be something as simple as "We were just about to get going." emphasizing the we. Or if really pushed, a low, firm "She's with me." that carries all the weight of a threat without actually being one. His tone would be calm, but the steel underneath would be unmistakable. But don't forget that Joel is a master of non-verbal communication. His body language would speak volumes. He'd stand a little closer to you, his posture might become slightly more rigid, eyes narrowed just a fraction. It's all very understated, but incredibly effective. The newcomer, even if they don't know who Joel is exactly, would likely pick up on the vibe. There's an aura of protectiveness and a quiet danger that radiates off him.

In short for Scenario 1: Respectful, subtle, but absolutely clear. He'd rely on his presence and non-verbal cues to convey the message. He wouldn’t need to be loud or aggressive; his quiet intensity is far more potent.

Scenario 2: The Known Person at the Tipsy Bison Who Should Know Better

The Tipsy Bison. Music, drinks, maybe a little looser atmosphere. But Joel's patience for disrespect is even shorter, especially in front of people he knows. If someone in Jackson knows you're with Joel and still tries their luck, thinking alcohol or familiarity will help them... they're sorely mistaken.

The moment Joel realizes this isn't just friendly banter but an actual attempt to hit on you despite knowing you're taken, the pleasant cowboy facade would drop. It's like a switch flips. His eyes would narrow noticeably. The easygoing demeanor vanishes, replaced by something colder and more dangerous. He'd likely stride right up, no pretense of subtlety. He might pull you slightly closer to his side, a very possessive move. He'd face the person directly, his body language becoming more confrontational. He'd likely cut straight to the point, his voice low and steady, but edged with steel. Something like "You got something to say to her?" (a challenging, almost threatening question), "We got a problem here?" (directly confronting the situation), "I believe you know she's with me." (using their name for added emphasis and a reminder of the established social dynamic). He might lean in slightly, close the distance, his gaze unwavering and intense. He might even subtly clench his jaw or his hands, a restrained display of physical readiness. He's not going to start a bar brawl unless absolutely provoked, but he'll make it very clear that he's not someone to be trifled with, especially regarding you. Once the person backs down (and they almost certainly will), Joel might revert back to a surface level of calm, but the air around him would still be charged. He might give a curt nod, a dismissive glance, and then turn his attention fully back to you, effectively erasing the other person from his awareness. It's a way of saying "You're beneath my notice now, but don't try that again."

In short for Scenario 2: Direct, confrontational, and significantly less patient. He'd make it unequivocally clear that their actions are unacceptable and unwelcome. The threat would be palpable, even without raised voices or overt aggression.

Scenario 3: Overhearing Talk Among Patrol or Newcomers

This is a different kind of jealousy. It's less about direct confrontation and more about territorial awareness and simmering annoyance. If Joel overhears patrol members or newcomers gossiping about you, fantasizing about asking you out or suggesting you ditch him.

Joel is always observant, always listening. He'd likely pick up on the conversation even if it's whispered or happening at a distance. He'd assess who is talking, what exactly they're saying, and the tone behind it. He's gathering information. He wouldn't necessarily explode. Joel's anger is often a slow burn. He might tighten his jaw, his eyes might darken slightly, but externally, he might seem almost unchanged. Internally, though, he'd be registering the disrespect, the audacity, of people talking about you like that, especially behind his back. Joel wouldn't likely confront them directly unless the talk was particularly egregious or disrespectful and persistent. Instead, he'd be more likely to use subtle tactics. He might not even tell you he overheard anything. Joel is protective in a quiet, almost stoic way. He might just become a little more attentive, making sure you feel safe and secure. He might check in with you more frequently during the day, make sure you're comfortable and happy. His jealousy translates into increased protectiveness and care. If the gossip becomes persistent or directly disrespectful, or if someone actually approaches you after making these kinds of comments, Joel might decide to be more direct. He might pull one of the individuals aside for a quiet word. This wouldn't be a screaming match, but a low, intense conversation away from prying ears. It would be a definitive warning, delivered calmly but with an underlying threat that is impossible to miss.

In short for Scenario 3: More subtle and simmering, focused on quiet intimidation and indirect protection of you. He’d likely handle it with a combination of observation, subtle cues, and a quiet, controlled threat if necessary. He's more about shutting it down before it escalates than making a public scene.

Overall "Jealous Joel"

Jealous Joel isn't about explosive rage or public displays of emotion. His jealousy is a deeply rooted protectiveness. It's born from his past, his losses, and the fierce loyalty he feels to those he cares about. It manifests as:

Quiet Intensity: He's not loud or dramatic. His jealousy is a controlled, simmering thing.

Non-Verbal Communication: He relies heavily on body language, and tone of voice to convey his feelings and warnings.

Understated Threat: His most powerful weapon is his quiet intensity and the implicit threat he carries. People sense it without him having to spell it out.

Protectiveness, not Possessiveness: It's less about controlling you and more about defending what he values and protecting you from unwanted attention or disrespect.

Loyalty and Devotion Underneath: His jealousy stems from a deep well of affection and loyalty for you. It's a twisted, hardened expression of his care.

Ultimately, "jealous Joel" is intimidating because it's so contained. You know beneath the surface, there's a fierce protectiveness that could be unleashed if pushed too far. People instinctively understand that messing with what Joel considers his is a very, very bad idea. And that quiet, controlled intensity is far more effective than any shouting match.

Odysseus: demanding Athena take off whatever enchantment she put on him the second the situation ends.

Odysseus: who constantly reminds Athena that he has great plans to grow old and die with his wife so don't even think about getting any ideas.

Odysseus: side eye diomedes who has started fucking glowing he has so many enchantments on him: bro you should talk to Athena about getting those removed. You're going to end up immortal or some shit

Diomedes: who has been a solider since he was 5 who has intersting thoughts about his own personhood who has a much more traditional relationship with Athena and would rather literally stab his own eye out with a rusted sword than speak out of turn: I don't know what you're talking about

Abby potentially could have OCD. Hear me out. It's not because 'she's organized'. It's because I'm fairly sure Abby has some form of anxiety, and the way it expresses itself in her life appears to be rigid behavior patterns. Now, there's not enough evidence to be any kind of certain, but enough to give me pause.

Abby can be extremely obsessive. We know that. She spent 4 years anxiously and obsessively dedicating as much time to preparing to kill Joel as possible. Her revenge isn't just different from Ellie's because it took longer, but because Ellie, for all her rage, wouldn't have spent those four years never missing a single day of training and getting as Jacked as possible.

Abby's mind convinced her that Joel was some kind of almost superhuman monster that only a beast of a person could take down. And missing a single day of training could ruin her efforts, or maybe even get them kicked out of the WLF. Spending any kind of significant time not thinking about her dad and revenge left her feeling guilty and wrong.

She also does seem weirdly particular about her room set up: not caring about the dishes, and yet having to have other things exactly in their place, looking for all the world, the perfect soldier. She doesn't just not miss a day of training, she has a whole schedule she likely spent a lot of time obessively creating and never wavers from.

But Yara, that's just discipline.

True, it very well could be. But Abby is shown to be much more anxious than any of the other person in her life, in a number of ways. And sure, it could be that she is surrounded by a bunch of reckless people, but that just might be making it more noticeable. And I'm not just talking about her fear of heights. There are multiple moments with her dad, where she tries to talk him out of doing things she considers dangerous. Flashback Owen's actions scare her. Mel's actions scare her. Manny is absolutely less anxious than her point blank, as is Lev.

We've seen how well Abby functions through horrific fear, so the idea that she has many more problems with anxious, intrusive thoughts than she lets on? Not so crazy. Anxiety doesn't completely paralyze Abby, but that doesn't mean it doesn't impact her life in significant ways.
