you always land on all fours
#umineko#umineko spoilers#ikuko hachijo#ikukos turn for a more serious piece... the old man has reigned for too long#now. INCREDIBLY LONG INCOHERENT TAGS RANT INCOMING FAIR WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN:#it makes me so so sad how little discussion there is about specifically ikuko because imho she fits so neatly into a lot of the more#overarching Big Themes of the game in a way that i have not ever really seen people take notice of or point out in a meaningful way#like even just off of the top of my head. the significance of names and what it means to go by a name that's Not Yours (she has like 4+)#what it Means to be a witch how it represents a person's deepest insecurities and flaws & how its at its core a coping mechanism#the fact that it takes two to create a universe and trying to do it on your own anyways has the capacity to bring you intense misery#^ (how she's shown to be extremely dismissive of her own work and skill until a collaborator comes into her life and helps/encourages her)#and even the family/patriarchy/misogyny stuff that is so prevalent in the rest of the game comes back around to her. even her Only Friend#(young&stupid atp to be fair) remarks that shes Weird for being unmarried + the little she does say about her past invites the question of#to what extent her self-image stems from her family deeming her a freak outcast & effectively disowning her while celebrating her brothers#and i have lot in my mind about the witch thing specifically because i think her particular situation is very reflective of what umineko's#entire magic system and fantasy facet as a whole is meant to represent for an individual. from what little we see of (what is presumably)#her Real personality she is shown to be deeply self conscious in a way that is JARRINGLY diametrically opposed to both 1.) what we see in#featherine and 2.) what we see when she is acting as a Public Figure. because both of the above are very much purposeful acts that she is#putting on in order to obfuscate her true self. and i have always been very resolute & adamant about not totally equating her to featherine#not only because im very firmly in the camp of “featherine is the avatar of the Pen Name & tohya is part of her too” but also very much b/c#i feel very strongly that the stark differences between the two are very centrally relevant to her character & her psyche. as is the case#with most other witches featherine's personality traits serve to reveal/magnify a lot of ikukos inner workings by playing on her#insecurities/reversing them e.g. ikuko being very quick to downplay her skill/achievements becomes featherine being the COMPLETE opposite#to the point where she barely registers even other witches as living beings rather than just fun touys. BUT even though i do champion the#ikuko/featherine separation so hard i ALSO think it is purposefully relevant that at first glance the line between them seems so blurry#her introduction implying a more nebulous separation between her reality/fantasy counterpart is i think is an intentional move on her part#like it is part of the front she is putting up when acting as the Author. as opposed to Ikuko the person who we (in a way ironically very#similar to the way that the Real Battler is presumably only shown during the boatscene) only very briefly get to see take up screentime#which even on a meta level lines up very well with her apparent underlying nature as a like. extremely private largely reserved/shy person#hit tag limit but if by some miracle anyone is still reading this thank you... please see ikuko with the love she deserves... ok ily byeee

toji is a light sleeper. he doesn't really seem like one with how much he resembles a big bear, but he is. the second he feels the bed dip, the second he hears your feet hit the floor – he's up. with a hand on your thigh, or perhaps your lower back, he looks for you in the dark; he hates it when you wake up in the middle of the night, no matter whether it's to go to the bathroom or to get a glass of water, he just wants you to rest.
this is a different kind of a night and he knows it the second your eyes meet in the moonlight. oh, how he hates them, how he despises them – the dark circles under your eyes. you're so tired, he can see it, but sometimes nothing really helps. no amount of cuddling, no amount of back rubs and whispered stories.
but that doesn't mean he'll give up on you so easily. he brushes off your quiet pleas for him to stay in bed, to go back to sleep, and pushes himself off the mattress. he couldn't care any less about his own sleep – why would he stay here all snuggled up while you're in the other room suffering?
he scoffs at the ridiculous thought.
he gives you one of his hoodies and patiently waits for you to put it on before holding his hand out to you. "c'mon."
moonlight pours in from the kitchen window and it's more than enough to light up the room. swiftly, toji grabs a chair from under the table and places it right beside the kitchen counter and then guides you to sit on it.
when you stare up at him with a confused look, he simply pats your head. "magic drink."
you snort and he cracks a smirk.
exhausted and tired, still bound together.
he fills the kettle with water and flicks on the switch, he finds you your favourite mug from the cabinet and then the aforementioned 'magic drink' – it's just a tea packet, nothing special about it.
but it's good to see you smile, so a joke will do.
as you wait, toji keeps his focus on you. he traces your features with his eyes and then gently pinches your cheek; you don't have the energy to retaliate properly so he can take in the sight of your furrowed brows and your jutted out lip in peace. he knows you'll get him back tomorrow, he's betting on it.
he doesn't let the water get too hot as he checks the kettle with his bare hand and when he finally deems the temperate perfect, he pours it into the mug for you. with sugar, with honey, he makes it just the way you like it.
you think it's sweet, him and the tea both – he doesn't drink it, he doesn't like the taste, and yet he knows exactly how you want it.
he holds the ceramic in front of you and waits for you to take it. your fingers brush over his and he feels warm.
kneeling down in front of you, toji just... sits with you. he doesn't rush you, he just stays with you until you've finished the drink. he makes a few silly remarks about silly things because he also knows how much comfort you find in his voice – he doesn't really understand it, why you would find comfort in him overall, but he won't question it.
he can see how your eyelids grow heavier and heavier, how your head starts to tilt to the side a little, and he doesn't waste a another second to take the mug from your hands and to guide you back to the bedroom. he doesn't want you to wake back up again, he knows that he can't miss the moment or else you might wake back up again.
and that just won't do.
aftee stripping the hoodie from your body, toji tucks you under the blanket and then nearly doubles over because your hands are locked behind his neck, successfully keeping him from pulling away too far.
he thinks you're sweet, too.
he crawls under the blanket with you and holds you to his chest – in his embrace, you're safe and sound, warm and protected, and so finally, your body relaxes. within a second, your breathing slows as you melt into him completely and toji lets out a relieved sigh.
his lips meet the crown of your head in a silent wish of sweet dreams and then he's following suit, his eyes falling shut as he tightens his arms around you.
#this is how i'm coping#with my bad sleep#hhhhhhhhhhh it's 5:30am somebody please put me out of my misery#anyway do you know who's a deep sleeper though?#sukuna#he will sleep through fire alarms and everything lmao#silly guy#anyway ily toji#always and foreverrrrrr#toji#mickey is daydreaming

Prompt 112
Once again, you know who is underutilized in DCxDP crossovers? Battinson. Skrunkly shivering boi. Who we should definitely give children to care for.
Did you know that Jason canonically had a brother named Danny? Well you do now, and it should also be used more.
We all want to give Battinson a robin, so why not give him four for the price of two. He of course gets Dick from the circus- he’s never going to go into public again, this was the first time he’d gone to do something out of his comfort zone for a while and look how that turned out.
And on one of the nights that Dick has to stay home (Alfred insists he must finish his homework if he wants to go out on patrol) Bruce returns to the batmobile to find not one child, but two. Is Danny reincarnated? Just appeared one day? Who knows, but he’s here now and going to protect his little brother.
Bruce might have tears in his eyes when they both hit him in the kneecaps and bolt because even with the armor it still hurts. How he manages to grab both kids he’s not too sure, but he ends up getting them food after they put the tires back. He also doesn’t understand how he’s convinced them into the car but they’ve both conked out and maybe he’s panicking and needs Alfred-
D-Dick why is there another child here? He’s the neighbor, cool cool. W-what do you mean he’s home alone, he’s like, 4?? What do you mean he’s been alone for a week now???
…
Alfreeeeed-
#dcxdp#dpxdc#prompts#battinson#Bruce is a skrunkly lil meow meow the kids feel bad about hitting#Danny felt bad the moment he got a taste of the dude's emotions#Selina returning to Gotham covered with cats clinging to her:#Bruce covered with several small children:#“I have a problem with strays”#Alfred is so tired#He comes back from getting groceries for dinner to three new children#all sprawled out on the couch with Dick and Bruce and a movie credits on in the background#they were watching Gray Ghost and eating shredded cheese#Dick a ten year old: Hi there tiny neighbor you are alone and that is bad so come with me please I have snacks#Tim a five year old who has never been taught stranger danger: omg sure Robin#Dick: What#Tim holding his hand: :)#Danny looking at Batman: He gonna cry :(#Jason: No he aint#Danny: You can feel the misery#Danny: It's like kicking a puppy :(#Jason: Shit u right#Both of them looking into the Batmobile now that the door is open: Why is there a box of coloring books and a kid carseat#Omg it's bat themed#There's also a blanket#Why yes it is for long patrols#Also random but I feel like Battinson would be aided by a longer cape#Let battinson become a batblob and disappear into a corner

While rewatching s2e6 I noticed (maybe for the first time? I don't remember XD) How Steve talks to Dustin about acting like you don't care to get the girl and literally that's what he does with Billy and it works so well. XD He's just getting more obsessed and triggered the more he tries to trigger Steve and fails.
Also how Steve mentions some want you to be aggressive, strong..hot and heavy.. like a lion...
I just don't know who he's talking about, I just don't know.
But there's gotta be someone who desperately needs him to be all that.

rewatching the scene of jiang cheng yelling at wei wuxian after unmasking him in qinghe is destroying me. first of all absolutely every single angry cruel thing he says is actually a bid for connection and a plea for reassurance, so jot that down. secondly he is soooo jealous of both lan wangji and wen ning (because of the way they have chosen or been chosen, respectively, by wei wuxian) and not trying to hide it even a little bit. thirdly he keeps referring to their shared history and to things that wei wuxian should remember about it and even explicitly (passive-aggressively) brings up wei wuxian's promise that they would be together forever??? and clearly wants wei wuxian to come home so bad?? and yet has never ONCE even ALLUDED to the fact that he lost his golden core because he would do anything to keep wei wuxian safe?? like that is a card he could be playing if he wanted wei wuxian to choose him (which he clearly does) but he never plays it? even through the end of the show he literally never ever ever plays that card???????
#even in guanyin temple HE NEVER EVEN SUGGESTS THE EXISTENCE OF A CARD???????#god DAMN can someone please discover the antidote for feelings about jiang cheng#put me out of my misery!!!!!#the untamed#jiang cheng#they're brothers. they are BROTHERS#my posts#f

Tim: If a woman tells you you have “nice hands” she is doing everything in her power not to fuck you senseless. Please release her from her torment, her friends are receiving the kind of messages someone in prison would send.
Cass: I don’t think that’s true, Steph told me I have nice hands just yesterday.
Tim: Yeah, I’ll let you sit with that one for a while.
#Tim is begging Cass to get a clue#he cannot keep waking up to the messages Steph sends him after patrol#there just some things he doesn’t need to know especially about how his best friend/ex girlfriend thinks about his sister#please Cass put both of them out of their misery#incorrect quotes#incorrect dcu quotes#incorrect batman quotes#dcu#Batman#Tim drake#red robin dc#cassandra cain#blackbat#stephanie brown#spoiler dc#stephcass

one, in my opinion, HUGE mischaracterization that i haven’t seen anyone bring up about five in season 4 is that he is very nonchalant about the fact that the siblings don’t want their powers back, to a point where he doesn’t even seem to care if he gets his back himself
is there anyone else out there who thinks that five would be absolutely ITCHING to get his blinking back. that guy teleported so much pre-universe reset. as much as i love the guy, he has an out of control ego and very much views him and his siblings as more important than regular ordinary people because of their abilities. five definitely would’ve still retained his cockiness without them, but i am positive he’d be a lot more confident in himself if he was able to continue blinking in and out of situations like he did before.
not only did he use his abilities when in dangerous situations and fights (his many physical altercations with lila, the swedes, sparrow ben, jayme, his old self, commission gunmen, hazel and cha cha, the handler, etc.) but also in everyday conversation to emphasize his points (blinking in front of reginald when arguing about oblivion in s3 and diego when arguing about lila using him in s2, etc.) and casual convenience (retrieving fluffernutter ingredients, blinking into elliot’s home and stealing his coffee, etc.) like you can’t tell me the guy doesn’t love his abilities and would’ve craved them deeply in their absence. out of all the siblings, he undoubtedly used his the most.
maybe i’m totally wrong here and just being overly critical of a season we’ve already established was terrible, but thinking about it is just twisting my brain into knots because i am so very confident five would actually have gone to ridiculous lengths to have the advantages his blinking gave him again
“alright then, motion fails, we don’t drink the mystery juice” five i know your ass was laying in bed that night wishing you’d drunk the goddamn mystery juice
^ that’s more like it!!
#rewatching s4 for clips and torturing myself tbh#noticing the tiny mischaracterizations that just make the whole thing worse and wanting to jump off a bridge rn#someone roll in misery with me and talk about how bad they messed five up please#we could’ve had it all if the writers just did their goddamn job properly#laur says stuff#the umbrella academy#tua#umbrella academy#five hargreeves#tua s4#hargreeves siblings#number five#tua season 4#tua five

leave the door ajar
#gravity falls#stanford pines#fiddleford mcgucket#fiddauthor#artwork of the damned#this is sloppy but i just had to get it out of my head#i just think especially at first there was a lot of fear of saying the wrong thing#and of feelings not being reciprocated#they'll be okay they'll talk about it later#well. more accurately they'll imply they don't want to stop working together and build a doomsday bunker with one bed about it#but that's basically the same as talking#also apologies for the alt text#i know it's not very good#i might try to re-do it later. or just tack it under the post in a readmore. i'm open to suggestions#anyway happy fiddleford friday please enjoy his misery
