I think at one point Ra’s was a good grandfather.

This is kinda approaching what I consider to be “my” canon, that being Ra’s slowly losing his mind due to his age and the losses he’s experienced.

I have this idea of Damian being like 6 and him finding a fledgling crow with a broken wing. He kinda just sits there and examines it for a while when Ra’s comes up behind him.

“What do you have?” He asks, groaning as he bends down beside Damian.

“I think he’s hurt, Grandfather.” Damian tells him.

Ra’s hums. Damian watches in awe as his Grandfather ignored the pecks as he gently maneuvered the bird to take a look.

“Oh, dear.” He tuts. “Looks like a broken wing, poor thing.” He places it down and stands. “Come along now, Damian.”

Damian hesitates, “Can we not help it?”

Ra’s picks up Damian. “Habibi. Life is full of tragedies. But the body of this crow will feed other scavengers, and those scavengers will feed the predators. That is the way of life, my dear.”

“But, he’s not dead yet.” Damian argues. And looks up at Ra’s with big puppy dog eyes.

Ra’s is a strong man, but not strong enough here.

So, he helps bring the crow inside. Ra’s carefully creates a splint for the crows wing and Damian helps Talia cut up some food and give the fledgling some water.

The bird heals and Damian cries when they have to release it. But smiles when the crow comes back to visit every couple of weeks or so.

As the years pass by, Ra’s begins to lose himself. He doesn’t notice it, but his loved ones do. No one is sure what the cause is. Perhaps it’s exposure to the pit. The brief madness one experiences after a dip might have a prolonged and permanent effect after so many uses. Or maybe the human brain is not designed to be alive for so long. It doesn’t matter in the end. Ra’s becomes cruel, unsympathetic, and short tempered.

Talia loses faith that the man before her is her Father when he raised a hand to Damian. Her Father would never. Her Father is lost.

Luckily she stopped him before he could hit her baby. She sends Damian to Bruce to keep him safe as she stages a coup. Talia was planning to anyways, it’s clear her son is not an assassin.

Idk, I don’t know if this makes sense. Just seeing a bunch of Al Ghul discourse on my dash and thought I’d add my two cents :3

hear me out, Vic and Link realising they are just into a game.

honestly how would they react if they met the real MC

and the real MC is just like:

"So yeah actually that's the real world-" 🧍‍♀️☝️/silly

What they would do if they learned they were in a game:

Vic

This would break his mind into a million pieces.

His world wasn’t real, and nothing would matter anymore. Telling him would be as freeing as it would be depressing. In that moment he would confess his feelings on the spot to make it known how much he cares for you. To hell with being divided by an untouchable plain, not a moment would go by where he wouldn’t try to reach you.

Self awareness would only serve to make him clingier.

“Where are you going..? At least take me with you! I know I can’t do much, but I can at least keep you company!”

“Can you keep your phone on when you go to bed? I don’t want to sleep alone.. it’s comforting having you close.”

“People sure are friendly with you… Who knows what their intentions are.”

“Who is that. Why are they looking at you like that?”

Link

Of course… he’s not real. Yet you are.

He’d let out a soft cry of defeat, the agonizing reality that he can never touch you would sink in. He’ll never feel the warmth of your body next to his, never truly knowing what it feels like to wake up next to you, having the privilege to hold you close to him. This would utterly shatter him.

Link would go mask off and let usually filtered vulnerable statements slip from his lips.

“What does your heartbeat sound like? Does it flutter when you see me?”

“Do you yearn for my touch as much as I do for yours?”

“One day you won’t need me anymore..”

“What will come of me when you.. when you lose interest and move on. A dry laugh escapes his from his lips. How you’ll inevitably forget about my meaningless existence.”

omegaverse is so so so absurd. but lol sitting here imagining alpha!Reader getting omega!Leon pregnant. lololol.

You didn't mean to knot him... It just happened. And at the time you thought you’d get off scott free since he wasn’t exactly complaining when you did.

Wrong. You didn’t think it'd be like, a big deal to him, but now he's bitching about being pregnant and then it all stops when he realizes he's getting a whole three months off, maybe more.

and then he's just all game for it.

leon, unironically. after he realizes.

Embarrassing to admit but I'm terribly terribly TERRIBLY addicted/attached to my phone. I literally quit cigarettes/nicotine after a decade smoking to be able to observe shabbos and it felt easier than putting my phone down. I'm rereading LOTR and it's like the Ring -- I try to cast it aside and it just ends up in my hand again.

That said, I did 2 hours with it out of sight on Saturday, and it felt pretty lovely. This is really the last piece of shabbat observance for me, and I want it badly.

Okay, TMAPG theory time. Episode 22 had me thinking that since Celia is implied to be the TMA-Celia, then what happened to her TMAGP counterpart?

The most obvious options I can think of, in the light of this episode are:

She died because of Celia's arrival. I don't think Celia intentionally did anything to her, but maybe her arrival was a catalyst or something

She was switched with Celia and is now in the post-Change TMA universe

She got merged with Celia or Celia unintentionally took over her body, and she now lives inside Celia's head, which could explain the sleep walking and waking in dangerous places. Like, maybe she's trying to get rid of Celia by walking them both under a truck.

grief is hard.

liam, you were so loved.

Listen to me, hey, HEY what if, what if Danny had circulation issues? Like his hands, nose, and ears just stay cold all of the time and he has some problems that stem from that? I like to believe that while yeah the cold wouldn't bother him as a ghost it DOES bother him (at least somewhat) as a human. This could very well lead into Sam and tucker getting him gloves/mittens/earmuffs as gifts and holding his hands to keep them warm, giving him little kisses on the tips of his ears or his nose to give them just a tad bit of heat even if only for a moment. :(

"The von Valancius dynasty is willing to share this information with the Inquisition?" Heinrix asked. His voice was careful, his tone guarded, while his unspoken question hung in the air between them. Why?

She looked up from the stack of dataslates in front of her. The Interrogator stood perfectly still, his eyes trained upon her, as though the slightest move from him might startle her into bolting from the room - or flinging herself across the table to attack.

"Everyone keeps telling me I'm the Rogue Trader now," Orica said. "The information is mine to do with as I wish." The fall of Rykad Minoris had been mercilessly recorded by all the augers and auspices spread across the mighty voidship at her command.

If Theodora was here, she would have no doubt turned this situation to her advantage, deftly manipulating the conversation to gain the upper hand. She would have known the right words to say, the right position to take. Orica didn't. Not anymore. Not since those days in a confessional cell had drained her of subterfuge and stripped the guile from her soul. 

Now all she had left to offer him was the truth.

"You're trying to stop the cult. I want to help."

[aphverse-confessions]

I have a conspiracy theory that whoever is in charge of this account keeps track of the people who forget to turn on anon for their confessions whether by simply keeping them in the ask box waiting to be answered, or by screenshotting them. And when the day finally comes for this account to be defunct there will be BLOODSHED.

that or you secretly work for Jess, or ARE HER! *que dramatic music*

Okay I was gonna post this as a normal confrssion but I changed my mind. So all of my response is in the tags teehee

talk about sid's jewelry over the years.

thank you karen MWAH MWAH going to make this part 1/2 bc i have thoughts

so much of where sid is in her life is reflected by the jewelry she wears. she doesn't have a particular affinity for jewelry and she didn't adopt any kind of interest in it by way of her mother: there was never any trying on her mother's jewelry as a girl, no dreams of one day wearing family heirlooms. at haven, she will occasionally wear jewelry when interacting with guests or visitors and, when she does, it is always slight and subtle and always, always silver. on the road, she will only ever wear small silver studs in her ears.

however, when the inquisition is settled into skyhold and she begins to lead as the inquisitor rather than just andraste's herald, sidri wears noticeably more jewelry. while always careful to craft an image of authority along with a small measure of piety, she wears far more elaborate earrings and necklaces, the occasional gem adorning them rather than just metal alone. the occasional bit of pearl or silver will gild anything fastening her clothes or appear in her hair for extremely important meetings or events. when she needs to be intimidating or make a show of force, she'll wear bracelets over her gloves to draw attention to her hands and, in turn, her hand as a reminder of the mark.

however, when she's alone or has a few hours to herself after skyhold winds down for the evening, all of it comes off basically immediately.
