I think that being alone in frasco made aba a very sensory-oriented person. and that translates a lot into how she shows affection, especially given paracelsus, while he can be hugged or kissed or humped, can’t really reciprocate too terribly much and probably doesn’t feel it as vividly or in the same way as those of biological body. basically what I’m saying is aba does asmr for paracelsus as a form of intimacy

(CW: Mention of injury.)

I was squeezing a lime just now and some of the juice squirted up and landed on the burn on my neck. So much searing pain, and on top of that, I keep thinking about the accident/occasionally see it flash in front of me, and I am just absolutely so over anything and everything that's happened in the last day...

The other thing that I think I would want in an Annabeth Wayne AU that I don't think I've seen so far is Bruce being absolutely pissed at Athena.

It was bad enough with Talia and Damian, but Athena is a literal god of wisdom who should know better AND he doesn't even have the "culpability" of having slept with her.

She one hundred percent saw Batman, tactician of the Justice League, was drawn in by her aspect of the Goddess of Strategy, and proceeded to create a child without his consent, a daughter who she didn't even raise before the child became a weapon.

And like whatever else, however fucked up Damian was by his own training to become a child-weapon, at least Talia loved Damian.

Whereas Athena loves Annabeth in the way a Goddess loves, not the way a Person loves, and I don't think Bruce, whose entire identity is so fixated on his relationship with his own parents, would recognize that as love at all.

And, like, Talia put Damian through a lot of shit. I think Bruce would be angry there too. But when push came to shove, she at least at some point brought him to Bruce because she thought it was in her son's best interests.

Athena actively lead Annabeth away from Bruce and into the streets at the age of seven, which Bruce would never see as in her best interest, whatever Athena's godly perspective is, however badly he reacted after Jason's death, even though he couldn't see (and dismissed the idea of) the spiders and the monsters. She was seven. In the streets of Gotham.

Athena let Annabeth fight a major role in two wars back to back without being there to train her or protect her or love her or even advise her. Athena advocated for the cold blooded murder of the other children who had actually tried to keep his daughter safe. Athena sent Annabeth against Arachne when Athena's children have universally died on that quest for a thousand years.

Athena let Bruce think he had gotten Annabeth killed because of his own inability to handle his grief. Let him think his daughter was dead or worse for years. Would have let him keep thinking that if the Fates didn't have other plans.

And just, in true fashion for all of my ideas on a PJO x DC crossover, everyone really comes out more traumatized than before. This includes Bruce.

Because now he wasn't just used unknowingly for a child just once, but twice. And in both cases he's going to have to live forever with the guilt of not having been able to protect his kids from what their other parent wanted to make of them

(On top of all the ways he has directly failed them and made any complexes worse, of course )

So this conversation... hoo boy, does it pack a punch. I had completely forgotten to think about what Kazuma being alive would mean regarding Herlock until Susato and Ryunosuke brought it up, but... this is a really agonizing betrayal. And even when they confront him on it, he just delays, waits out to see what they know, what he can get away with. So many times he just sits there for a long moment, letting them talk. He asks Susato, "You're quite sure?" He says this:

This is utterly infuriating. I would lose it here. And it's all the worse because Ryunosuke counters this with nothing but a certainty in Herlock's skills. He had to be lying, because they trust him to have known the truth. They aren't willing to believe that he made a mistake when he announced Kazuma's death, any more than they doubt their own recognition of him actually being alive. The confidence here hurts a lot in context. The friendship with which they approach this conversation. And he never tells them!

I'm sure the truth will come out eventually, and he'll have had his reasons, but... Ryunosuke has lived with him all along. Susato so clearly admires him so much. They're all friends. And he's seen how deeply they are grieving, he must have, and he's chosen to stay silent all this time. I'm so so impressed again by Ryunosuke and Susato's willingness to extend that trust further, to wait to find out answers.... And then even to continue investigating together with him shortly afterwards. It would be completely understandable if they couldn't. I still feel like they need to get properly angry at him, but maybe they're saving that for after they know the whole situation.

fascinating revelations out of my dad's professional coaching of the whole family today

my mom scored astonishingly high on empathy and caring for a woman who seemed to find it next to impossible to express that to me

my dad has done an insane amount of work to be so warm and personable considering that his natural inclination is towards strong reserve rooted in anxiety (just like me!!)

my sister shocked - SHOCKED 🙄 - to learn that she scores almost zero in empathy AND very high on manipulation

actually shocking reveal that my sister always knew she was my mom's favorite. like I kind of assumed she was mean to both of us but apparently most of the biting comments were for me

[constellationcrowned]

~Kariom being interested (read: nosy) about something she's working on so he just walks up behind the Traveler and does the whole leaning over her and bracing himself on the surface she's working on though uwu

((Yesssss!! I imagine that sort of thing happens a lot and she absolutely gets startled (and then incredibly flustered for obvious reasons lol) and things have accidentally been dropped and/or broken.))

Fanfic/Author Ask Game

14. What makes you happiest? New fic comments, kudos, bookmarks, user subscribers, story subscribers, or Tumblr asks?

24. Which scene/theme was the inspiration for I Can see the Flashing Lights?

32. A character you enjoy making suffer?

Hiii thanks for the ask!

14. What makes you happiest? New fic comments, kudos, bookmarks, user subscriptions, story subscribers, or Tumblr asks?

Hmm, probably either new fic comments or Tumblr asks. Can't say I've had the experience of bookmarks or subscribers enough to have a solid read on them. But comments and asks are someone taking time to say something about my fic, which is klsjadgksdkj! And then I can say something back! And we can have a lil conversation if we want! And I just think that's neat!

24. Which scene/theme was the inspiration for I Can See The Flashing Lights?

Okay for those who aren't aware, the fic in question is a Julie and the Phantoms AU of Jem and the Holograms. I feel like the initial half joking connection was the ghost/hologram thing and matching title format. But more seriously, the things that really made the connection for me (outside of the music) were the found family and grief themes. Holograms has its own non-traditional family thrown together by trauma and loss, and a sort of quest for closure, both of which are big things in JatP as well.

Also, the initial meeting between Rio and Jerrica... How could that NOT be Julie and Bobby?

32. A character you enjoy making suffer?

Oh man. I feel like I usually don't get joy from making characters feel pain. But I guess Alex Mercer is my biggest "I am going to give you my trauma instead of going to therapy and working through it like a normal person" blurbo? Does that count?

Thanks for the asksss!!!
