#and to be trusted with responsibility
Explore tagged Tumblr posts
Text
Making this post the day after father's day but as much as people love hehe Buck got baby trapped jokes, a very important part of Buck's character is that he wants and chooses to be there. Eddie is not off loading Chris onto Buck, he is giving Buck the trust and purpose that he is always trying to earn/find. Eddie dropping Chris off when Buck was not allowed to work was for Buck, not himself or even Chris, because he knew that Buck felt useless and trusting him with that responsibility is what Buck needed. Buck loves Chris and finds genuine enjoyment and fulfillment in being a part of his life. A big part of who Buck is is his desire to help people and his love for his family and friends (and that includes Chris)
#i think sometimes people lean a little too hard into the jokes that it becomes an actual belief people have#and i do mean buddies too#i see a lot of them act like buck is bein taken advantage of or forced to do things#and not just with chris in general i see a lot of people act like buck is being taken advantage of or forced to help people to his detriment#buck WANTS to help people that is quite literally his most enduring and defining trait is his desire to help#and to be trusted with responsibility#so why do people always act like he is being used when he is given that#evan buckley#original txt.

need to exist in your warmth (id in alt)
#vashwood#vash the stampede#nicholas d wolfwood#trigun#trigun maximum#blood tw#ruporas art#love u when i get to cuddle u and love u when i get to feel ur blood soak into my hands#being this close to one another means the eternal suffering of trying to separate love and mission. love for one and love for humanity#i like to think of pre-vol8 vash as someone who struggles with his feelings for ww bc as equal and as trusted he is -#vash knows his responsibilities and he knows/expects ww wouldn't let him stray from it either. for that he can't take to any romantic incli#and i think itd make him view ww in a stricter non-personal way... If that makes ANY sense.#for ww - take someone who youv gotten close to and ended up liking more than you expected#someone who has a belief and follows it stubbornly - someone who'll get into more fights and trouble more than youv had your entire life#ww thinks of him as a monster but he knows theres a limit he himself can take - i feel like hes considered what might be the limit for vash#for Safety measures. just in case. yknow. whenever he himself might have to load the bullet < him hyping himself up as if he could do it#my point being that the thought of vash being dead crosses his mind more than he'd like. i think its a simultaneous dread drop in his stoma#for failure of the mission - but also an Ok? They can be killed? and also a disastrous gunning of his own heart. considering how much they#both live in their own heads some days are Just the worst ever for them in each others company. but also they lov each other :[ sooo much

society if Two-Face was Batman's arch-nemesis instead of the Joker:
#oh to be in the universe where DC acknowledged the true potential of Bruce and Harvey as insanely toxic frenemies.....#He was Batman's most dependable non-caped crimefighting partner. He's one of Batman's worst enemies.#he was one of the first people to trust Batman. Batman is one of the last people to still trust him.#He nearly killed Bruce's son. Bruce still left him in charge of protecting Gotham years later#He's responsible for his own downfall. He's Bruce's greatest tragedy#He's nothing like Bruce. He's Bruce's mirror image#WHEN WILL DC SEE THE VISION!!!!!!!#batman#two face#harvey dent#dc comics#bruce wayne

i see your “bruce wayne laughs in upper class, 100 dollar bills fall from his lips when he chuckles, etc etc” take and i agree wholeheartedly but also i raise you
“bruce who doesn’t really laugh at things out loud like that really, he’s more of a nose exhale, brief grin and intense eye contact conveying his emotions” type of guy but sometimes
something will happen that constitutes, his full on body laugh and when its an instinctual thing it’s so rare that bruce doesn’t have a failsafe for that reflex and the person they’re with just,, stops
because the laugh they’re so used to can’t be compared to this genuine deep, heavy with emotion and feeling laugh that fills his lungs and your soul- and they just wish he would do that all of the time instead of his wooden paparazzi simpering and its something so stark that it throws them for a loop
and idk i just love watching bruce expose layers of himself to those he loves without consciously doing so
#this can be read as platonic or romantic honeslty i just like rice exposing vulnerabilities to the people he love’s subconsciously cause he#trusts them instinctively and that’s a whole can of worms he’s not ready to deal with after a childhood of solitude and isolation#and not matter how many years go by he never really left that moment in the alley#alone - surrounded by the#corpses of his childhood protectors thrust into a position of responsibility he was never meant to be in bjt he took it with honour#i’m on my cassandra is the true gotham#protector agenda again ignore me#dc#batman#bruce wayne#batfam#superbat#batlantern#wonderbat#batcat#jason todd#dick grayson#tim drake#damian wayne#red hood

Bruce: Bed by 9, no sugar, no scary movies, no world domination. Got it?
Thomas Wayne Junior, professional (and extremely unreliable) uncle: Aye aye boss
TJ literally two hours later, watching 10 year old Dick steal the Batmobile to hunt Zucco down:

I have to know, In your au, all for you, does anyone pick on Tails? And does Sonic know about it? The detail of “his life goal to protect his brother” makes me wanna know if Sonic will go absolutely crazy if someone just looks at Tails wrong.

Response+ Bonus doodle↓
Sadly, Tails does get bullied. Kids are mean! Tails has told Sonic about his bullies. Who always comforts him and praises his uniqueness 10/10 times. It works nearly every time ending with a bright smile on Tails's face that Sonic knows and loves, but only until he's back into daycare and the bullies bully.
Tails and Sonic have a close bond where Tails feels comfortable telling Sonic absolutely anything and everything(Sonic, not so much. He doesn't want his brother to worry). Sonic always does his best to encourage this cause he never wants his baby bro to feel like he should hide anything from him.
People do pass some looks towards Tails, but Sonic does his best to make sure his lil bro is comfortable and safe! Unless it becomes an actual problem.
So far, Tails's only bullies are kids his age or around there.
Sonic wouldn't go crazy on a kid, but he's pretty intimidating when he wants to be.
(these guys are occuring bullies, Sonic had enough of picking up his little bro from daycare to find him crying.)

They never bullied Tails again and Sonic was a new fear amongst the children.
#all for you au#fred answers#trust sonic took responsible measures first#but the kids parent r karens#vanilla also keeps an eye on them but she has a lot on her plate#the bullies had to be potty trained again#sonic the hedgehog#sth#miles tails prower#unbreakable bond#sonic au#everyone made sure to be really really nice to tails after that#maria helps vanilla#when she can#my art★

i think more people need to realize that the circumstances of how jason todd died would make him deeply untrusting of not only other people, not only himself and his own instincts, but specifically other people's proclamations of what they feel about/for him and how he reacts to that in turn
#personal#jason todd#like personally if a major formative moment in my life was trusting someone when they said they cared about me#and taking them at their word on an important topic#only for them to be flat out lying and then say that it's MY fault for trusting them in the first place#which then leads into a series of events that are both physically and mentally incredibly traumatic#i'm not trusting anyone who says anything about how they feel about me ever again#and i'm not trusting my own reactions or my own instincts in response to people either#(also god i forgot what a victim blaming BITCH sheila haywood was i hate dc retconning aditf to try and make it jason's fault)#anyway i'm done batman posting for the day or i'm gonna start pissing myself off

Favorite moment in the first Murderbot book what when someone—I think probably Ratthi?—was outraged on Murderbot's behalf, trying to explain either to or around it that its situation was unfair and slavery which is bad, and Mensah shuts him down with, "You think it doesn't already know that?"
That was when Mensah completely won me over. How clearly she understands Murderbot's full personhood; not just as a sentient being, but as a rational adult capable of understanding its own life and the injustices done to it.
#I have still only read the first book but that seems particularly important given the PresAux laws re: construct rights#the prevailing social norm is more in line with Ratthi's response#constructs are people but they're infantalised#they aren't trusted as full citizens and need legal guardians#the way Mensah so calmly and gently shuts down the white knight response to injustice#and acknowledges that murderbot KNOWS its own life thanks#it's *chef's kiss*#I suspect Mensah has seen some shit#excited to find out#murderbot#Doctor Mensah#all systems red#the murderbot diaries

Chilchuck is one of those special characters where you learn about his past and you go “ohhhh that explains a lot” except where for most characters this happens like once or maybe twice, with Chilchuck it happens literally any time you learn anything at all about him, and every time it’s explaining a different thing he has going on.
#chilchuck#Actually lemme#Dad died from drinking: weird relationship with alcohol#Abandoned by a loved one with no explanation: resistant to letting his friends into his life or forming any emotional connections#Teen father of three: the paternal instincts and also his general awkward sense of maturity#Treated as disposable in adventuring world: I’d argue the disordered eating comes from this#Having to prove hes a useful asset and earn basic human respect#Its not enough to be a decent pick lock he has to be able to do everything to survive#Middle child: yeah#Things that also stem from mistreatment in his workplace: trust issues defensiveness trigger-happy flight response and constant stress

Danny and Jazz were almost at the end of their rope.
They've checked almost everyone they knew who would take them in.
Sam's family? Didn't want them living under the same roof as their daughter.
Mr Lancer? He did actually want to take them in but his one bedroom apartment was not a suitable place for kids to live and his teachers salary couldn't afford to support three people.
Tucker's family? Got shut down by Vlad.
Which was the end of the list of who could get custody, well living at least.
There was no way either of them were living with Vlad, and with that in mind, they decided to get creative.
--------------------
When Edward woke up, sitting at an old interrogation table in what seemed to be an abandoned warehouse (don't ask him which one, gothem had too many) and splitting pain in his head from most likely getting knocked out, his first thought was I knew it.
Gotham rogues had been disappearing only to reappear the next day with no memory and often in bad shape, like black mask and Bane.
Some of the rogues, such as penguin and Ivy, believed that they would be safe from the next attack.
Edward was slightly more pessimistic.
And it turned out he was right.
"ahem." Noise brought his attention to the warehouses other occupants.
Two teenagers.
It was strange to think that these two put Bane into a coma, but Edward had spent most of his nights getting the stuffing beaten out of him by a child wearing the colours of a traffic light so he was suitably wary.
"How can I help you?" Being polite was always a good idea when kidnapped by possible meta children (because no normal person could walk away from a fight with Bane, the bats don't qualify as normal.)
"Hi, I'm Jazz and this is Danny." The red head introduced herself and the blue eyed boy next to her. "Nice to meet you Mr Nygma."
"Nice to meet you as well." His mouth responded on autopilot as he panicked over being addressed by name, no one who kidnapped him did that ( which was mostly the bats taking him back to Arkham after another foiled plan) unless they were Amanda Waller.
"Right, now that we all know each other, let's get started." Danny said pulling out a sheet of paper and star themed pen from somewhere.
"Get started on what?" Torture? Edward would really like to know if that was the case.
"The interview." Jazz explained " You just have to answer a few questions then you get to go, after we wipe your memory of course, we have someone who we don't want knowing we're in Gotham."
"Oh, of course." Edward replied faintly as he processed the information given to him.
"And if you get job we'll contact you in a week." Danny added as he twirled his pen. "Got it?"
"Yes." Edward had never been more confused in his life.
#dpxdc#dcxdp#dp x dc#dc x dp#if you can't get your own responsible adult then store bought is fine#everyone in Gotham is confused#the bats have no idea whose kidnapping villains and why#Jazz and Danny just want someone they can trust as their guardian#do they care if that someone is a villain? no#anyone is better then Vlad#does Red Hood count as a rougue?#if so he gets an interview too

saw this ss on twt and im sorry but im starting to think some of yall actually like when characters are predators cause first it was accusing afo of p3dophilia / sa (despite the fact grooming can be non-sexual) and now its this shit 😭😭

like this is actually crazy yall we are told MULTIPLE times that toga feels safe with the league because they are the only ones who accepted her for who she was 😭😭 its not like she was the only woman or kid in the league either like at some point there were magne and mustard. the league lets anyone in regardless of background this is soo ..
#is having brain damage a requirement to use tiktok#cause some people on there lack media literacy to the point of making THIS kind of content#idk what yalls obsession w sa is.#is it angsty ? is that what you like ?#omfg remembering that one time a dc fan on tiktok got (rightly) criticized for headcanoning that bruce made tim go on honeypot missions#and their response was ‘do you hate fun ?’#GIRL WHAT FUN.#anyways#mha#bnha#my hero academia#boku no hero academia#league of villains#lov#toga himiko#touya todoroki#dabi#tomura shigaraki#twice mha#spinner mha#mr compress#magne#kurogiri#also not to mention how id argue mineta can be trusted less around women than the league

There's nothing Lilith loves more than a good scheme.
Previous / Next
Present day Lilith, narrating: When we made our escape, we were certain we’d never lay eyes on Forgotten Hollow again. For several years, we lived large on a stolen fortune we thought would never run out. How could we have known any better? We’d never handled our own money in our lives. Of course, our naive illusions were quickly shattered. The economy tanked. The war started. We were broke and terrified of exposure. We drifted aimlessly, staying in whatever shitty little hovel we could scrounge up the pennies for. I stalked and killed and thieved to keep us going, but the well was running dry. We finally landed in Brindleton Bay, a dreary seaside town that perpetually stank of fish, where we rented an overpriced yet barely habitable room. The situation was untenable. I began to hatch a plan.
-
Lilith: Sorry I couldn’t bring more. They have a guard posted outside the blood bank now. I… subdued him then grabbed what I could. It wouldn’t be wise to go back.
Caleb: Thank you. You don’t have to-
Lilith: But I do. You won’t accept it any other way — of course, even if you did, pickings are slim lately — and I hardly want to watch you die for your morals. [sighs wearily] I’m just so goddamn tired.
We’re both tired, Caleb. The only thing I hate more than the fact that you won’t hunt is that you can’t. It makes you too vulnerable.
Caleb: [dismissively] I’m fine.
Lilith: You’re not! I’m not! [pauses meaningfully] I think it’s time we go home.
Caleb: Home? Lilith, you know we can never-
Lilith: It’s been thirty years. Not to be crass, but Mother and Father are dead and all that money is surely going to waste.
Caleb: If we show our faces in Willow Creek looking just like the day we left, we’ll be driven out by mobs with pitchforks before sunrise.
Lilith: We’ll obviously not show up as ourselves. We’ll procure fake documents — death and birth certificates, social security numbers, that sort of thing. We can pose as our own children.
Caleb: Do you not hear how preposterous that sounds? Assuming we could even get our hands on those things, no one would believe us.
Lilith: They’d be even less likely to believe we’re vampires. People don’t like things they can’t explain. If we provide an explanation to them, no matter how flimsy, they’ll gladly take it.
Caleb: There’s still too much risk.
Lilith: What risk? We could eat all of Willow Creek alive if we wanted! It’s not up for debate, Caleb. We’re the true and rightful heirs. It’s time we claim what’s ours, and no one will stand in our way.
#ts4#sims 4#ts4 story#sims 4 story#story: hzid#lilith vatore#caleb vatore#blood tw#smoking tw#it's so important that the '20s portrait is in the background#they're so proud of it but it's also a constant reminder of the excess that got them into this situation#like “hey wouldn't it be fun to commission a portrait instead of worrying about paying rent in 20 years!!!”#totally something a couple trust fund babies who've rarely been given the responsibility of actually handling money would do#(also you can barely see it but there's another painting i stuck in for a laugh#squint at the far left of the wide shot for a second#i like to think lilith grabbed it from vlad's to be petty and then immediately defaced it)#*tbw

i did NOT just see someone complain that s3 is “reducing lottie to her mental illness”……….. oh my fucking god two episodes in and the horrible takes are already rampant
#also i need you to stop fucking calling travlot siblings just because you’re repulsed by the idea of them being romantic#it’s really fucking weird and annoying#what about their dynamic seems fucking familial your resistance to a specific type of dynamic is making you unable to interpret the show#i’m not even saying it’s romantic i think it’s complicated i think it’s a lot of things i think it’s fucked up#i think travis is trying to reconcile the fact that lottie gave him a significant form of trauma by sexually assaulting him#WHILE HE WAS UNDER THE SAME INFLUENCE SHE IS FORCING HIM TO BE PUT UNDER NOW#with the fact that he LIKES her. he admires her. he trusts her 😭😭 he feels safe with her#god#and lottie’s just so desperate to speak to the wilderness she’s going to really extreme fucking lengths to get her contact with it back#she’s unintentionally but actively triggering a trauma response in travis that She instilled in him#anyway#i need y’all to grow a fucking pair so we can talk about this#because it’s fucking. so incredibly crucial to understand both characters and the show as a whole#sighhh#rant over i guess#lottie matthews#travis martinez#travlot#yellowjackets#yellowjackets season 3#yj#yj season 3#yj s3#yellowjackets s3#yellowjackets spoilers#yj spoilers#yellowjackets season 3 spoilers#yj s3 spoilers
