Times "Jim Kirk is a survivor of the Tarsus IV massacre" is brought up in TOS episodes: 1

Times "Jim Kirk is an absolute shit pool/billiards player" is brought up in TOS episodes: 2

(don't @ me with "this line from this episode can be interpreted as a reference to Tarsus," I just love that Kirk being unable to work a pool cue properly is actually a recurring gag, intentional or not)

the word 'hayfever' is currently driving me feral.

someone pausing, their eyes glossing over, mouth falling open, nose twitching, they spin away and sneeze- vocal and desperate, before turning back with an exasperated exhale, sniffling pathetically, and offering "hayfever" as an explanation, apology, and warning of what's still to come

Shot-in-the-dark guess about the prophecy: perhaps the monster hero is going to absorb the human soul, thus killing the human hero in the process, in order to attain a massive power boost to "save the world". If the monster hero was actually Noelle, then it could explain the "guided by love" phrase (hearkening the Weird Route) and the heart icon that appears on a later panel of the monster (the SOUL). All total conjecture, but that's half the fun in waiting for new chapters!

It's been such an important point so far that Susie is outside of our control. She's the one element that really does what she wants and will only do what the player wants if she wants it, too, and even then, she'll still do things her way.

And yeah, I do have this distinct scary feeling that that rule's going to be broken by the end of the game.

Hi! Do you think Cass is/would be a pet person? If so, what kind of animal/pet do you think she'd have?

Ooh good question!! Honestly I don't really see Cass as a pet person at all! She doesn't seem to have a super big attachment to animals - off the top of my head the only animals I remember her interacting with were the wolves that ate that cow with her and the gerbil she almost eats in Convergence Batgirl 😭😭. The wolves one is kind of cute, but her connection is sort of like the wolves are her company rather than her pets. I don't think Cass would enjoy having a pet tbh, I think she can like animals and stuff but she wouldn't like to be responsible for one. She is often away from home and she is a MESSY person (like Alfred had to clean her cave in BG 2000 😭), so I don't think she'd be good at taking care of pets either. Like Babs would probably intervene if she DID take an animal home.

BUT if she did have an animal I think she'd like ones that are rather low maintenance (so she can leave for periods of time). I can see her liking really big animals too, like animals she can tackle hug or sic on some intruders. I think she DOES like Ace the Bat-Hound because he's a superhero dog, so I imagine any pet she adopts would be like that - capable of taking care of themselves and beating up people! So hmm maybe big dogs, snakes, alligators, unconventional pets like that. Can you tell I don't know much about pets 😭😭😭

Anyway here's a panel of Cass with Ace from DCeased Unkillables to make up for my lack of knowledge :)

something something au where recently divorced but still extremely closeted trent walks into a bar owned by beard and frequently bartended by ted

[starflungwaddledee]

Oooo starstruck dee has little stars at the bottom of her feet! Are they just aesthetic or would they make imprints into the ground? (like pawprints)

exactly like that! though she's not the only one...

edit: might need to add some additional dialogue to this to make it more clear, but a clarification in the interim; he knows about his own footprints. he's just surprised to see something similar already there when he knows he's only just landed. he lifts his own shoe to confirm that they're not identical (and also to reveal this to the viewer). seems his stoicism beat off the clarity in this one, sorry 😭

fingers in my mouth? fingers in my mouth perhaps? fingers in my mouth while you coo at me because i'm tearing up and drooling around them and making a mess? perhaps? perhaps?

THE USOS REUNITE WWE SMACKDOWN (OCTOBER 25, 2024)

[aalghul]

Saying that what fans (and post-flashpoint) make Jason is what Helena already is always gets one of two reactions: I hate Jason and this is true, I love Jason and this is completely wrong. Everyone's losing with that btw.

Helena and Jason are fundamentally different enough that it can't be exactly true. Helena and Jason's backstories don't have much in common either. Helena's involved betrayal, schemes and fights for power. Jason's was a product of Park Row being continually failed by Gotham. Jason also has a history with the Bats specifically, as the second Robin and a son of the family, that Helena doesn't. There is an appeal in that that's not transferrable; Jason's been a Bat and has had his own various roles since his he was created pre-crisis, not just since his resurrection or since he got a softer role post-flashpoint. He doesn't get to just not be a bat character.

In going "fanon Jason is exactly like Helena" you're also ignoring her time on the JLA and BOP, because remember that fanon thinks Jason sits around staring at his wall angrily until his family tell him to stop being a brainless killer OR runs around half-assing missions with his brothers friends because he has none of his own. It's honestly a disservice to her to pretend that brand of fanon Jason could ever be her.

However, Helena is the one who fought to be trusted by the Bats and compromised on killing because of them (whether that be due to the aforementioned struggle to fit in with them, or, at low points, because they know her identity). Jason did not do this pre-flashpoint. Pre-flashpoint Jason was not asking for most people's trust or for a seat at the table. That's not even to say that any interpretation of Jason that has him reconciling with the Bats is a rip-off of Helena, it's just that Jason put himself on the outskirts of the family for a reason, and this won't be changed just because they are willing to have him back conditionally.

I'm not going to sit here talking about all the similarities and differences, or how they got tangled along the way. I just want to say that people who act like Jason was dealt a good hand by being given Helena's characterization by fanon and post-flashpoint are never going to be able to prove their point without disrespecting Helena's character because you're focusing on the wrong thing (something that isn't even true). People who refuse to accept that the particular Jason they're talking about (fanon, rebirth onwards/partially n52) is a character that has heavy similarities to Helena's position pre-flashpoint are missing out on who Jason and Helena both have been at other points in time. And they're pissing each other off in the process.

I swear I have read your big post regarding Peter Parker's neurodivergence and why it is best to avoid labelling him, but he definitely has a weird brain

Can't find it and feel kinda sad about it cuz I deeply related to it

i know exactly which post you're talking about and i can't find it either! i've raked through my archive, and it's just - nowhere to be seen. i think tumblr eated it (it happens.)

really, tumblr's search functionality is so so useless, i don't know what to tell you. there are plenty of keywords i can search to find it that post, but the search functionality actually just does not work!

undiagnosed audhd-addled peter parker, my darling, my light, my life, my everything.

i think peter parker's such an interesting creature to write, because a lot of people will point to a certain behaviour about him and say "this is an autistic thing, right?" but a lot of those behaviours are actually, in my head, tied to certain traumas in peter's life too.

people say "oh, the food thing, peter's a picky eater because he's autistic" and yes, absolutely. but also it's tied to his trauma with his parents.

peter gets overstimulated, and yes, it's an autism thing, but also he was bitten by a radioactive spider and his senses are dialled to 11.

it's a similar case i've found for myself, too – where a lot of friends i have kind of diagnose me because i have autistic traits, but actually - i'm hesitant to claim the label or pursue diagnosis because, actually, i know where these certain behaviours come from, and they come from certain traumas. there are events i can pinpoint in my life and say "yep. that's where this behaviour comes from."

so - i think there's a lot of overlap between trauma and autistic traits. the brain is very complex! i think the reason for that overlap is maybe as simple as the fact that people with autism and people with trauma are both doing the same thing - developing behaviours to protect themselves or soothe themselves. so - i think it's nice to be able to see a character like peter parker, who may or may not be autistic, but recognise behaviours in him and see yourself in him.

people who go undiagnosed for whatever reason - people who are really good at masking - so good, in fact, that they have no idea they might be on the spectrum - everyone and anyone at all can look at peter parker and recognise themselves. because i think we discredit the thought that every single brain does the same thing! develops certain behaviours in order to survive. every brain has that same software - we've just all been faced with different hardships that we need to overcome, and that's were all the differences come in.

autism is a spectrum, i guess - everyone falls into it to some degree. and i think events in your life probably push you along on it. but i don't know, i didn't study brain science. probably what i'm saying is very stupid and uninformed. of course there's brain chemistry involved. but i know people in my life living with autism and certain events in their life have exacerbated certain behaviours or made coping with it a lot more difficult. so maybe trauma is a catalyst.

I don't wish to come across as rude or anything when I say ronance in the show is just not going to happen. That is not at all to say it's a bad ship, I see it, it makes sense, as far as fanon ships go, it's a brilliant one. But realistically it's just not feasible as actually being canon with the amount of time we have left.

what a fucking week.
