The people saying that Trump would keep the world safe from Putin were lying.

Putin spokesman says Trump's foreign policy 'largely coincides' with Russia's vision

WASHINGTON ― A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin praised U.S. foreign policy under President Donald Trump, saying it "largely coincides" with Russia's vision in a reversal he said was previously "impossible to imagine."

The comments from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov come as Trump has upended the U.S. approach to Russia's war in Ukraine by holding peace negotiations with Russia, without representation from Ukraine or its European allies. A public spat between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last Friday in the Oval Office raised doubts about continued U.S. financial support for Ukraine.

WHAT MUSIC THEY WOULD LISTEN TO.

characters written about in this piece : bruce wayne, dick grayson, jason todd, tim drake, damian wayne, barbara gordon, duke thomas, stephanie brown, cassandra cain

not proofread !

note : if you actually went and read through all of this i will actually smooch you

BRUCE WAYNE

bruce isn't an average music enjoyer, so he doesn't really have many preferences to what he listens to. all i know is that he doesn't like music that is too upbeat, like many pop songs.

perhaps in his angsty emo the batman 2022 phase, he would listen to metal, heavy guitars and drums, similar to jason. but as he develops as a philanthropist and vigilante, he would sway towards classical music without words. it helps him concentrate in many situations, and different artists or albums can convey so many different emotions in their music.

this music often plays within his office at wayne enterprises, the batcave whilst he's researching on the computer, or even just throughout the manor whilst he's doing bruce wayne shit.

songs i think he would like :

jazz suite no. 2: vi. waltz 2, dmitri shostakovich

12 études op.25: no. 11 in a minor "winter wind", frédéric chopin

vi. lacrimosa dies illa, slovak philharmonic

tango - bof "kuduz", goran bregović

le cygne (arr. for harp and cello), camille saint-saëns

le nozze di figaro k.492: overture, wolfgang amadeus mozart

DICK GRAYSON

i can see dick as someone who incorporates music a lot into his every day life; playing something on his alexa as he cooks dinner, listening to something in airpods as he walks around gotham during the day, hums or whistles a tune as he surveys the streets of blüdhaven at night. i don't think he would have taken up learning any instruments, but he's a very musical person, knows how to hold a rhythm as well.

he's into more modern music, very much frank ocean. he likes chill music with a good beat and maybe some good vocals. as long as the song overall sounds good, he doesn't really pay attention to lyrics. if a song he likes has weird lyrics, he'll only notice it one random day as he's singing along, and begin to overthink them in the shower and wonder why they were written in the first place.

songs i think he would like :

swim good, frank ocean

she, tyler the creator & frank ocean

novacane, frank ocean

dance now, joey valence & brae

wet dreamz, j cole

mysëlf, yeat

JASON TODD

i actually have a jason playlist here !

i think jason enjoys darker sounding music, but it can go one of two ways; either loud guitar, or absolutely gut wrenching vocals. i'm talking lyrics mixed with the perfect pleading voice to make you feel just numb inside.

jason has experienced a lot of loss and trauma in his life, so sometimes he may feel numb and just need to amp it up with a loud deftones song, or he is feeling too much, and needs a mellow, yet depressing mitski song to bring him back down. granted, neither are the happiest options, but it's what works for him.

songs i think he would like :

xerces, deftones

danger, south arcade

i don't smoke, mitski

come home to god, amaarae

smoke sprite, so!yoon!

dagger, slowdive

TIM DRAKE

LMAO i think this guy would be such a closeted theatre kid. he's watched all the heathers slime videos and watched hamilton and newsies on disney plus. he loves it, it just evokes an entirely different feeling. he would never tell anybody about this side though, which is why these playlists are kept privateee on his spotify.

so when he's with other people he shows that he listens to more mainstream artists, but likes an experimental sound, so maybe some tyler here and some carti there, but they aren't his go-to artists.

songs i think he would like :

boyfriend, tyler the creator

flex, playboi carti

non-stop, broadway cast of hamilton

once upon a december, broadway cast of anastasia

meet the plastics, broadway cast of mean girls

miso, edv & bigbabygucci

DAMIAN WAYNE

this little shit only exclusively listens to either classical music (aww look at him taking after his own papa) or the heaviest, scariest rock metal you've ever heard. bonus points if it's metal with classical undertones !!! he loves that shit, not that he would show it.

when he does his homework or falls asleep, he listens to heavyyy heavy metal. when he's eating a sandwich in the kitchen, or training in the batcave he'll be listening to classical music. see? it's not exactly linear.

songs i think he would like :

carnival of the animals: aquarium, camille saint-saëns

romeo and juliet op.64 - act 1: balcony scene - romeo's variation - love dance, sergei prokofiev

the isle of the dead op.29, sergei rachmaninoff

immortal rites, morbid angel

them bones, alice in chains

BARBARA GORDON

barbara is a woman on the quieter side, despite herself. i feel towards others she is more outgoing and reliable, but when she's with herself, she likes to wind down and just sit with her thoughts. she likes jazz, slow and soft, and the type of music you would find in movies from the 50s and 60s. there's something wistful about it that she just loves.

this type of music can help her concentrate. she listens to music whilst reading, or whilst sitting behind the computer as oracle during less high-tension moments.

songs i think she would like :

the shadows of paris, elsie bianchi trio

piano and strings, henry mancini

a night to remember, beabadoobee & laufey

la javanaise, serge gainsbourg

jane b, jane birkin

my favourite game, the cardigans

DUKE THOMAS

we can all agree that duke is one of the more positive members in the family, trying his best to keep his optimistic outlook despite the rest of the world, and the rest of gotham especially. he likes songs with meaning, although hidden behind a happy instrumental and youthful vocals, but he also enjoys just plain old happy-go-lucky sounding songs.

i also think he's a very musical person, always got headphones on. he probably gets that one notification at least once a week telling him his volume is too high in his ears.

he loves to dance, so songs that he can get lost in and have a little jam sesh in his bedroom are a must!!!

songs i think he would like :

useless, omar apollo

the magic number, de la soul

batshit, dominic fike

breadwinner, floyd fuji & topaz jones

the violence, childish gambino

smokin out the window, silk sonic

STEPHANIE BROWN

as for stephanie, this girl listens to EVERYTHING. she listens to kpop, shoegaze, indie, rnb, 2010s pop, jazz likeeeee she will literally listen to anything. she doesn't have playlists she just fr adds every song she likes to "liked songs" and listens to it on shuffle, and whatever comes up she listens to without an issue. almost never skips songs because she's so open to anything and everything.

like one minute she could be listening to her fav red velvet album, and then the next min she's on the verge of tears listening to phillipa soo sing burn on the hamilton soundtrack.

songs i think she would like :

so good, red velvet

cola head, willow kayne

if you want to, beabadoobee

call me maybe, carly rae jepsen

xxl, young posse

unchained memory, cafuné

CASSANDRA CAIN

following her quieter nature, i can't see cass listening to anything too upbeat or loud. she'll like a softer instrumental but with an emotional vocal line, almost as if getting to express the things she may not be fully able to towards her family and friends.

may enjoy a good old shoegaze or indie song here and there, especially if she's feeling more emotional, as she feels the sound of the song encapsulates her emotions.

songs i think she would like :

only, lee hi

chocolate and mint, duster

slow burn, infinity song

gaia, lexie liu

emo song, beabadoobee

chaos angel, maya hawke

[eyeshone]

Joey's so out of it he's circled back to thinking this guy's a real doctor and Fallon might be his wife? Cool. His life rules. He smiles, somehow slurred, at Fallon. Overcome with love: "Hoooney," that's what husbands call their beautiful, smart spouses "do we have kidsss?" The doctor is talking. "Sure thing, doc." His head wobbles, unstable, like a slow-spinning top; his sweat-sheen temple catches in the crook of Dmitri's neck. One quick Q: "Which way is up?"

@mctcrcity

that little ball-and-socket pop! isn't ideal. in fact, fallon's wooziness that had faded to latent returns with a vengeance. dmitri needs to work on playing GENTLE!

but, not much time to let the wooziness distract her from their great escape. one look at the scene in front of her—joey, clammy, dazed, though at least much more agreeable than a lot of dmitri's captives. dmitri, far from composed, but approaching it with what appears to be a half-dead man draped over him.

one piece of this needs to disappear.

her attention jumps back to the hospital bed, still crunched into a jackknife. "dmitri," she starts, then busies herself with trying to flatten the mattress again. (joey's done something atrocious to the remote—it's LOCKED, and flashing a red light of warning.) "him, here, and we'll throw a blanket on top and go. sound good?"

LBTE: Jared (134-135)

The end of an era.

If you want to follow along, the series page is here.

134. Concession

Jared’s dad fixes the wall, sends Jared a picture, pristine again, like nothing happened.

Don has already had a really sour taste in his mouth due to the way Bryce is getting talked about in Calgary, but this is a bit of a turning point in his relationship with Bryce and also starting to distance himself from Flames fandom.

Nothing really changes — Bryce breaks out of the slump for a bit, and the media backs up one step, and then he slumps again and they sprint forward five, breathing down the back of his neck. Jared needs to stop reading the articles, they leave him furious and blurry-eyed, half anger half helplessness, but he can’t stop doing it, picking at it like a scab. He knows Bryce is reading them too. He tells Bryce not to. Bryce says he knows he shouldn’t. They both keep reading them.

Objectively great advice that’s not hard to follow when you don’t actually need said advice, and impossible to follow when you do.

She returns with a violently blue beverage that Jared eyes very suspiciously, before he sips it. It tastes kind of like blue Gatorade, which is a terrific find. She follows it up with a violently purple one that tastes like grape popsicles, and then a violently red one that tastes like a jolly rancher. Jared is incredibly impressed.

Blue Lagoon, Alexander the Grape, Killer Koolaid.

“We find you Gabe and Stephen,” Dmitry says.

“Stephen’s mean,” Jared says.

Jared without a filter is something else.

“Come on,” Dmitry says, wrapping an arm around his shoulder, and Jared’s too unsteady to shrug it off, just meekly lets Dmitry guide him to a back corner, where Stephen’s sipping a glass of wine and reading emails, probably work ones. Gabe always complains he never turns off work mode, but considering how all-consuming pro hockey careers are, he probably doesn’t have much of a leg to stand on.

“Your boy,” Dmitry says, and drops Jared unceremoniously into the chair across from Stephen.

“What did you do to him,” Stephen says, but Dmitry just laughs and walks away. “What did he do to you?”

Stephen’s trying to get some work done and then suddenly he has a sad kid on his hands.

“I miss Bryce,” Jared says. Quietly, so Stephen’s the only one who’ll hear him. He’s drunk, but not that drunk.

“Oh here it is,” Stephen says, putting his phone away.

But he’s been waiting for it, honestly. And not just tonight. We’re now in month four of Bryce’s stretch of bad luck.

“And he’s not playing well,” Jared says.

“No,” Stephen says.

“And the media’s so fucking awful to him,” Jared says.

“They are,” Stephen says.

“I just want to help him,” Jared says helplessly. “I just want to help him and I can’t and I feel useless.”

Stephen looks him in the eye. “Did you let Oksana give you drinks,” he says.

Stephen has some prior experience with this situation.

“Okay,” Stephen says. “Rule one: never let Oksana give you drinks.”

“It’s too late,” Jared says. “I’ve drunk them. They’re drunken.”

A lil bit of Joey Munroe sneaking into Jared here. I blame the drinks.

“Drink some water. Call your husband, tell him a bunch of mushy shit about how much you love and miss him. Maybe don’t mention the not playing well part. Then go to bed.”

Good advice, delivered with greasy food and a ride home. Stephen’s getting soft.

“Okay,” Jared says. He drinks some water, calls Bryce, who is amused by Jared’s Oksana-induced inebriation, and says some truly mushy shit he probably wouldn’t say if he wasn’t drunk. Bryce says some truly mushy shit back, even though he is not drunk, but that’s okay. Jared is drunk enough to endure hearing it.

Bryce does not need an excuse to say mushy shit, just an opportunity.

Elaine’s going to be staying with his parents — they insisted, which is hilarious —

Jared continues to be amused and bemused by how much his parents love Elaine, like he, the child of the two of them, doesn’t also love Elaine.

The media’s backed off just a bit, though it’s in a barbed way

You ever read a piece on the Certified Toronto Maple Leaf Whipping Boy of the day when they’re doing too well to whip? Boy does the media get catty when they can’t use the claws.

Bryce has been playing well, but he’s been playing well for himself; he’s checked out of the team part of it, goes to pregame for Game One with this determined look like it’s his job and he’s going to do it, and he’s going to do it well, but it’s, well — a job.

Bryce is pretty much putting Xs on his calendar at this point.

Jared watches Game One at his parents’, sitting between his mom and Erin. His dad’s at the game with Elaine, which Jared is not salty about.

I’m just glad Elaine has someone to watch with. She appreciates it.

Erin, in Jared’s Oilers jersey — she’s so petty, god —

This isn’t even pot to kettle, this is pot to pot.

Jared isn’t so pleased about the goal that he neglects to mock the shit out of Erin for the squeaky little noise of joy she made when it went in.

“Mom,” Erin whines.

“Like a little mouse,” mom says.

“Mom!” Erin says.

“A squeaky little mouse,” Jared agrees.

It’s REAL cute.

“Ugh, I know,” Erin says, and slumps back in her seat. “I hate being personally invested in this. Why do I have to care about this? Why is this a thing I now care about?”

Me, 14 years ago, after enduring hundreds of hours in arenas watching my brother play, and considering myself immune.

“You’re going to sign a multi-million dollar contract this summer,” Erin says. “Whereas I am but a poor peasant university student, who would like to celebrate the win of my brother-in-law at a public house with my fellow scholars. But alas, I am insolvent. Woe betides me.”

Jared rolls his eyes and gives her fifty for the drama. “You used ‘woe betides’ wrong, I’m pretty sure.”

“Yeah but I’m pretty sure it earned me an extra thirty bucks,” Erin says

She is not wrong.

hops out of the car in her stupid Matheson jersey, which Jared is far more concerned about than her out drinking.

“Take the Oilers jersey off before you go out!” Jared says.

Erin waves a dismissive hand and shuts the door.

Jared rolls his window down. “Don’t drink any violently flavoured drinks!”

Jared’s concerns here are hilarious out of context but both based on relevant prior experience.

“I’ll get you a new ice pack,” Jared says, but he’s hindered by Bryce wrapping his arms around him and becoming pure dead weight.

“Just,” Bryce says. “Stop.”

This is what Bryce needs more than anything right now. Unfortunately only something he can get a night at a time

135. Eulogy

I didn’t exactly leave you all in suspense about how this part was going to go, did I?

Bryce keeps up the hot streak, but Jared can’t enjoy it. He swears, it’s like the better Bryce plays, the further away he seems. When he’s home, he’s home, he’s Bryce, goofy and earnest and sweet, but the second play comes up there’s a wall that comes up around him.

It’s not so much that Bryce is keeping his play from Jared, blocking Jared out, more that he’s keeping Jared away from his career, like some kind of movie cliche, ‘can’t let him know I’m an assassin�� or something dumb like that. Jared points it out, because obviously he does, and Bryce apologises, because obviously he does, but it doesn’t change. Every game, rinse and repeat.

Bryce is pretty hardcore compartmentalizing Jared from his career right then. Jared is Good. Hockey right now is Bad. Bryce doesn’t want Jared anywhere near the bad shit at that moment. He totally gets Jared’s frustration, and he means it when he apologises and says he’ll talk to him going forward, but it’s never something he’s in the mood to talk about, right then, especially when being around Jared is one of the only bright spots in his life right then.

Jared’s worried. Jared’s been concerned for awhile, but it’s been upgraded. He’s worried.

Jared at seventeen, eighteen, maybe even nineteen would be angry instead of worried. Bryce’s growth is a lot more pronounced, but Jared’s done plenty himself, particularly in his relationship.

They take it in Colorado, and Bryce comes home in the middle of the night, a little tipsy from victory drinks on the plane, but not like — victorious. Not like he would have been in other years. Happy, sort of. Happy, Jared guesses.

Not really happy, probably.

I honestly just really like this diminishing level of happiness, all chock full of qualifiers from the get go.

And that’s before Brandon Simcoe scores six points in two games against a stunned still Flames team, scoring goals every fucking time he isn’t slamming Bryce into the boards, or drawing Bryce’s temper out and getting him sent to the box.

Look, the name Shithead wasn't like calling a big dude Tiny. I've grown to love him dearly, but it's a little despite myself, because he's a total shithead.

The previously stellar goaltending’s fallen apart. The D looks frozen out there. The Scouts’ power-play is on fire, and the Flames are giving them no shortage of opportunities, taking weak calls in their desperation to try to turn the tide.

But of course the media’s talking about Bryce’s penalties, talking about how his name isn’t on the scoresheet.

If you’re a star player, and your offence dries up in the postseason, this happens 100% of the time. D? Never heard of her.

There’s no fire, no ‘we’ll come back from this’, no ‘fuck those guys, we have them’. Bryce comes home, and he unpacks, and he doesn’t talk about the games, doesn’t want to talk about the games, so they don’t talk about the games, and then the Scouts come to town.

Everything about this is already completely defeated on both their parts.

Mutes it about five minutes in and doesn’t turn the sound back on all game.

Game ever stress you out so bad the commentators are nails on a chalkboard? (That’s literally just Sportsnet commentators, with the exception of John Shorthouse. Best in the biz. Still think his muted ‘and play continues’ after the refs miss a call is the pinnacle of another huge Canadian sport: passive-aggression.)

Simcoe has a two point night. So does Williams. Half the Scouts roster seems to have gotten a point in this mess.

Genuinely fascinating to write these series from two sides. Really brings home that somebody’s elation must involve someone else’s heartbreak. Can’t win without a loser.

“I’m gonna take a shower,” Bryce says, and he just had one, hair still damp from it, but Jared gets that it’s different, perfunctory post-game shower to wash the sweat off versus letting himself unknot under the hot water.

The water’s still running a half hour later, and Jared knocks. “You good babe?”

Bryce has been having a whole ass breakdown in there, so not so much.

“Jared, I love you,” Bryce says, barely audible over the water. “But can you please fuck off right now.”

This possibly could have been phrased better but also absolutely could not have been, considering his mental place at the moment. Physically: standing in the shower. Mentally: in fetal position.

The water shuts off not long after that, and when Bryce doesn’t come into the living room Jared figures he’s holed up in theirs. Jared blindly flicks through channels, feeling adrift. It’s sort of the same feeling he had in Vancouver, Bryce a thousand kilometres away and Jared unable to do anything for him, but it’s worse in a way, Bryce just down the hall and Jared still unsure what he can do, knowing he can’t fix it, that this isn’t the sort of thing that’s like ‘hey I love you so that makes it all better, right?’. It doesn’t.

Jared’s least favourite state has to be helplessness (close second: ignorance), and he really is helpless here.

The door to their room’s ajar when Jared goes to the bathroom, a tentative invitation, and when Jared peeks his head in Bryce, curled up in bed, gives him a weak smile that Jared thinks counts as one too.

Bryce is now physically as well as mentally in the fetal position. But feeling slightly better nonetheless.

He kisses Bryce’s temple, where his hair’s drying in the loose wave it gets when Bryce doesn’t bother to style it, Jared always a little in love with it just because of its rarity.

Every chink in Bryce’s armour is Jared’s favourite thing.

“Where do you want to go?” Jared asks.

“I don’t know,” Bryce mumbles. “I want Vancouver not to be impossible.”

I knew where he was going at this point, but he and Dave had not concocted their plan yet.

“I don’t want to do this anymore,” Bryce whispers, and there’s nothing Jared can say to that, so he just kisses his temple again, runs his fingers through Bryce’s hair, stays there with him as Bryce breathes, quick and unsteady, stays there with him until it slows, evening out, stays a little longer after that.

He’s so tired and he’s so burnt out and every atom of him wants to quit, but he can’t. Or, sure, he could, if he wanted to blow up his career. A player refusing to report to training camp is enough to break a contract — during the postseason?

Jared watches Game Four with the TV muted again, not that the Saddledome is any louder. Solemn as church, dad described it last game. Today it’s probably solemn as a funeral, because that’s exactly what it is.

Jared can be absolutely vicious with a turn of phrase sometimes.

“Tell me I don’t have to do media tomorrow,” Bryce says.

Jared sighs and sits beside him.

“Just — I know it’s a lie,” Bryce says. “Just tell me it anyway.”

“You don’t have to do media tomorrow,” Jared lies. He does. It’d be a poison pill to any trade if he didn’t, would simultaneously put the final nail in the coffin of his relationship with the Flames and depreciate his trade value to the point they wouldn’t want to ship him out. He has to do media.

Bryce stares up at the ceiling. He knows all this. Jared knows he knows all that.

Oh my darlings.

Bryce is crying, this silent thing, just tears trickling out of the corners of his eyes like he doesn’t even notice he’s doing it.

He’s so fucking tired.

“I love this city so much,” Bryce says. “But it didn’t do a single fucking thing to earn it except give me you.”

Almost every single one of the best moments of his life took place in Calgary. He met Jared in Calgary. He proposed to Jared in Calgary. He got married to him right outside of it. It’s inextricable from Jared for him, so he loves it. But it’s also the place that ground him down. And not just once.

“Tell me I don’t have to do media,” Bryce says.

“You know you do, B,” Jared murmurs, and pulls Bryce in, arms around his shaking shoulders, when he starts to cry in earnest.

Bryce crying continuing to make me tear up at minimum every fucking time. The most I have ever related to Jared was when he said every time Bryce cried he wants to cry, and honestly, I relate to Jared too much as it is. Can't write hobgoblins without at least a little gremlin in you.

joey tiers the dmitri forms based on physical attraction and (perhaps more heavily) contextual encounters. ranking atm as of current threads:

dmitri-dmitri (getting to see the real him + sex; intimate and figurative and literal equal footing that’s racing to see/feel)

dmitri-as-clive (purely b/c that’s the first form he encountered and kind of imprinted on him; perhaps felt the most “real” before he saw real dmitri; clive still has an extra potent effect on joey)

dmitri-as-tennant (both encounters with him have led to stupid intimate moments; if tennant is here joey is already aroused)

dmitri-as-macfadyen (simple but lighthearted encounter that ended in advice and no violence; would be higher if he had more encounters with him but he has not; gave him his shirt which joey has not returned)

dmitri-as-nathan (he seems to be a regular, possibly the form joey has seen the most of, and deserves to be higher b/c of that but their encounters have been really up and down)

dmitri-as-neeson and dmitri-as-schreiber (complicated feelings; usually appears during tense and violent moments; sometimes leads to important breakthroughs, sometimes not; sometimes likes the roughness, sometimes doesn’t)

dmitri-as-moayed (the briefest encounter that dmitri shifted out of b/c joey flirted too shamelessly with him; he’s hot; would be higher but it was truly a less than a minute encounter)

FORBIDDEN: dmitri-as-dafne (way too sexually confusing and wrong)

18+ Fandom RP Search

hey there!! im a 20+ enby hoping to find some 20+ people interested in writing some canon x canon from a few select fandoms! in general i prefer to rp romantic plots, usually ones that are more slow burn and angsty, but i wouldn't be opposed to platonic plots. all of my ships will be queer, as i'm simply not interested in rping straight couples (being a queer person myself). as for the kind of rp partner i'm looking for, i prefer rping with people that are eager, understanding, and want to work on developing characters/plots together! i also look for people that match my writing length/style, which is third-person, literate, and past-tense.

nsfw is welcome by me, and appreciated, i like spicy and darker plots. however, if that's not your cup of tea, i completely understand and think rp can be just as fun without it!

the following are fandoms i am interested in rping (please keep in mind this is strictly ccs):

supernatural (tv show)

characters i muse: sam winchester, castiel, balthazar, jo harvelle, meg masters favorite ships: sabriel, destiel, but i am so open to ideas here

IT (movie)

characters i muse: eddie kaspbrak, bill denbrough favorite ships: reddie and hanbrough

dead by daylight

characters i muse: jake park, danny johnson, joey, ji-woon hak, yui kimura, renato lyra favorite ships: not sure! im open to exploring

stranger things

characters i muse: steve harrington, alexei, dmitri antonov, eden bingham favorite ships: steddie, harringrove, alexei and murray, but open to others!

jojo's bizarre adventure

characters i muse: caesar zeppeli, noriaki kakyoin, jotaro kujo, bruno bucciarati, johnathan joestar favorite ships: caejose, jotakak, bruabba, and more!
