#should stop naming things

[winn-wynn]

Judging second Gen kids names cause why not

Bill and Fleur: Victoire, Dominique, and Louis. I actually do enjoy their names! They’re different and give a nod to Fleur and the fact she is French. I mean I hope she gets a bigger say she literally gave birth to all of them.

Charlie: I know he has cool names for his dragon babies. 10/10 no notes

Percy and Audrey: Molly and Lucy. I love Lucy, it’s super cute. Ok I get why he names her Molly, like it’s a nod to his mom, I mean people name their kids after relatives all the time. But like damn the pressure I guess.

George and Angelina: Roxanne and Fred. Okay kinda fuck with Roxanne. Pretty cool. Once again, I get it for Fred. But personally I wouldn’t want to be named after my dad’s dead twin but to each their own. Maybe Fred II is super cool with it once he finds out.

Ron and Hermione: Rose and Hugo are cute. Lowkey feel like it’s a nod to the parents name. Lile Rose and Ron, but start with an R. Hugo and Hermione, both with an H. It’s funny. Love it.

Ginny and Harry: James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna. OKAY I GET IT. I KNOW. But damn they’re getting bullied okay I’m sorry. I know he wanted to honor the people who died for the war. But like a middle name is fine? Why their entire name please.

Draco and Astoria cause why not: Scorpius Hyperion. Fits on theme with their family. The whole constellation theme they have going on. Migjt get bullied but not for their name but because they’re a Malfoy rip.

Not gonna lie I only made this post to make fun of Harry and Ginny naming skills. They need their naming skills revoked for a bit.

I spent around $80 in application fees to events and just feeling stressed and lost trying to figure out what I can make that will be wanted

sending love to all the other artists reading this trying to figure out what to do too (if you wanna complain in my comments please feel free to commiserate, or brainstorm)

hot take but it’s incredibly hypocritical to tell people to get over steve and randy not being in the musical because they weren’t “important characters” but simultaneously turn around and bitch and moan that people don’t think ace and bev are real characters. you’re not better than anyone else just because “well I don’t get mad over the erasure of steve and randy because they weren’t important mmyes hmhmhm” like having a superiority complex the size of the fucking sun isn’t a flex 😭

(also biased opinion but steve and randy might not have had much screen time but they were still so so so important. randy was the one who broke through to ponyboy. randy was the one who carried on bob’s name and was able to tell the reader and pony the real reason behind bobs action. randy was the one who gave that heart to heart to ponyboy when he needed it. randy was marcia’s boyfriend. randy was bobs best friend. steve is soda’s best friend, but he’s so much more than that. he’s scared of cops but still ran over to dally with broken ribs just to try and save him. steve was the only one who cried when dally died, and he was the only one who cried when johnny died. steve’s pony’s frenemy, he’s great with cars and is the only one with a remotely healthy relationship. he fights alongside everyone else, he fights for his friends, he’s a part of the gang. the “they weren’t important to the story” thing is so stupid. it’s okay to not like them or whatever but don’t deny that they had a huge part in the story.)

Technically unfinished but it's complete enough.

For context in the AU, Kokushibo left because he felt Muzan made a poor deal. He had to spend so much time tending to him that he didn't have time to further develop his skills like he wanted. He would rather leave and risk death by slayers to have time to himself, so he did. He said he saw Yoriichi in town, and just left the day after.

Ofc he was proper and helpful to Muzan, since he considered it no different from working with other superiors in the past. The information and advice given to Muzan were professional obligations more than acts done out of genuine respect and devotion. In Muzan's eyes however, his skills and information were greater than any employee he'd previously had, so he assumed he was completely loyal based on how he was with him.

Also! Koku is not seeing a ghost, rather he has ideas of what Yoriichi thinks and acts like, which serve as a second opinion. He's mostly just visualizing what he imagines Yoriichi would do or tell him to do. Part of why he hunts down Yoriichi after running away is because he believes, even in some small insignificant way, that he will understand. If not, folly on his part, he will simply pass with the regrets when Yoriichi cuts him down. Luckily he does get to stay with him again, and the rest is history.

Couldn't the fact X is so powerful be - at least partially - because he doesn't have any hero name (as for now at least). If everyone knows him as X, and everyone believes and trusts in the idea that is Hero X; then his trust value could come from that lack of name? Previous Xs had other hero name like Smile or E-Soul. But if X never gave himself a name OR was never given a name by his believers, then whoever believes in X(again, as a concept, not as who is currently Hero X) or the very idea of hero existence period gives him power. I wonder if that can't be a way he found to cheat the system or sth akin to that...

His powers would be lying in the very fact everyone believes anyone can become a hero. He's a nobody - technically speaking. no name, actual commoner life, ...

Alternatively, he started it all by calling himself X from the start and so anyone believing in any of the current X (until and also including himself) also believed in him whether they knew it or not? more skeptical about that idea ngl

someone in the webtoon comments is trying to tell me ulyssa was pioneering for forcing all gay men to marry women as if she didn’t say “hey this act is only going to give men more freedom and do nothing to help any women at all” and “i think it’s weird you’re doing this and trying to tell me it’s FOR equality when you’re pushing it w no support from your wife who just disappeared entirely post wedding. can i hear her thoughts on it please.” and then received the most suspicious answer in history from august. like imagine you have spent your life basically the lone soldier fighting for women’s rights in medieval europe you’re the first woman to be placed on the king’s council. you’ve had your pleas for accessible education for the lower class and for increased stability for women’s rights to support themselves. suddenly the king falls ill and his son takes power, you enabled him to do so bc you thought he seemed sensible. then his new wife also falls mysteriously ill and cannot be seen by the public. he wants to legalise gay marriage. women currently cannot own land. do you a) blindly trust he’s completely well meaning despite knowing this is not a good thing to push rn or b) begin to suspect he may be poisoning both his wife and his father and is pushing this for a personal reason that has nothing to do with wanting real equality

for the ask game (1)

au where bruce is attracted to his robins and batgirls. he tries not to think about it or act on it, but it's getting more difficult with every new member of his team he acquires. does anyone know? do the robins and batgirls notice his weird behavior? what do they do about it? do they ever find out the truth? who would think it's terrible and who would find it strangely hot/comforting/nice? does bruce ever act on his feelings?

for the ask game!

oh my GOD do i have thoughts for AUs like this, i love this shit so dearly, dirtybadwrong Bruce who's trying to keep a lid on it my beloved.

i think the fun of this AU is if characters would notice Bruce lusting for themselves vs would they notice Bruce lusting for a different Robin/Batgirl. like does Dick pick up on it when it's just him and Bruce? no, because it's just. him and Bruce. he and Bruce are weird and complicated and hold endless bounds of nuance. that's just How Bruce Is, and Dick is the "test run", in a sense. he knows Bruce is new to this whole sidekick/family thing and is giving Bruce grace for being rough around the edges. but when Bruce starts looking at Jason or Tim or Cass that way, that's when Dick starts to notice. it's never enough of a suspicion he feels justified to bring it up, but the thought lingers. he's hyperaware and grows less and less comfortable with leaving them alone with Bruce. it's a weird game of chicken, Dick and Bruce staring each other down when Bruce's touch lingers too long. each waiting for the other to say something first. if Bruce ever broke and actually acted on his feelings, Dick would be eaten alive by the guilt of knowing something was up, but never saying something until it was too late.

obviously, Cass would know. there's no world where Cass *doesn't* know, the nature of who and what she is would immediately clock it. but the issue is, Cass doesn't have a good framework of what family looks like. she doesn't really understand familial vs romantic love bc she has no firsthand experience of what a parent's love should even look like. so she never calls it out. she just watches. i'm a fan of Cass believing this is normal and believing she too can express and act on attraction that's vaguely incestuous. maybe it's with Babs, maybe it's with Dick or Tim or Bruce himself. but she recognizes this as Normal and Accepted within the Batfamily, so it severely fucks up her understanding of familial love and i just. man it's my favorite thing about Cass in Batcest honestly, is how you can play with her lack of experience with love, boundaries, and sexuality.

Tim is the fun one for me. because my favorite flavor of BruTim is when Tim knows, as he agrees to be Robin, that there's a non-zero chance that Bruce is going to be Weird and agrees anyway because he's decided it's an acceptable risk. so Tim knows from the get-go because he's expecting it. if Bruce acts on his attraction, i think it's either with Tim or Cass first, because they're the most likely to confront him about it in a way that isn't entirely negative. Tim has accepted it's a possibility and Cass just seeks being loved and touched so. it leads to the first time someone's ever confronted Bruce about it. and the thing is, Bruce really doesn't like confrontation about his flaws. the first time Tim tries to imply he's okay with it, Bruce would lash out at the idea, tell Tim how inappropriate that is and benches Tim for a week. it'd probably take a united front from Cass and Tim to get Bruce to even *admit* to the attraction. still Bruce wouldn't allow it to happen and he brushes them off until finally, the dam breaks. it's fun if there's a cause like sex pollen, but i think it's *more* fun if it's just. a random fucking Tuesday and finally Bruce is at his limit. he has no real reason, there's nothing particularly different about that day's routine. he just sees Tim or Cass striping armor and sighs and gives in.

i don't think Steph, Jason, or Babs would notice until anything substantial happened. not because they're not wicked smart, but just because none of them were looking for it. Jason put Bruce on a pedestal when he was alive, and when he came back from the dead he wasn't close enough to be noticing Bruce's interpersonal dynamics outside of his narrow scope. Steph has no real framework for what healthy fatherhood looks like, so if Bruce's touches linger, if he stares too long, she just shrugs and assumes it's how it is. and Babs was just never quite close enough to Bruce to notice. if and when she notices, is when actual sexual things start to happen between Cass and Bruce. because Cass would see no reason to hide it. Babs would be pissed, but it'd be tricky to navigate. Cass would be an adult, even if she's only 18/19, so technically, she's old enough to be consenting. if nothing else, Bruce is a careful man. even when he breaks and gives in to his desires, he covers his tracks well. he makes sure he has enthusiastic consent and there's no legal recourse that could be taken. age of consent and all that. there's not much Babs can *do* other than try to tell Cass (and/or Tim) that this isn't normal or okay. not that it gets her anywhere, but god would she try.

by the time Duke comes along (if we venture out of the pre-Flashpoint era) i think it's a sort of. open secret, in the Batfamily. talked about in nothing but hushed whispers and knowing glances. at some point, they've all had sex with Bruce, caving all for different reasons. some more than others. Tim sees it as a duty, Cass sees it as a way of seeking comfort, Steph sees it as getting Bruce's approval for once, etc. it's never forced on them, but eventually, they all come to Bruce sooner or later. and that's the fun irony of it, i think. they try to convince the others not to, but would go to Bruce on their own well. because complicated reasons they can't put into words. sometimes, Bruce is just a messy man who doesn't realize how prized his Attention to for the rest of the Batfamily. that weird duality of not liking him, but also wanting desperately for him to like you. all of them have dealt with it, at some point. so for Duke, it takes a while for him to understand this... whole dynamic. it's Cass who tries to explain it to him, and he's a little horrified, a lot confused. especially when Bruce starts staring at him a little too long as well. i think he'd only want to watch first but well. they all cave eventually.

also fun bonus if we venture into the Dark Knight Returns universe for my bestest girl Carrie Kelley: there's such a like, "i'm fucking around and i'm finding out" vibe to Carrie. like Tim, she's very proactive in just. deciding she's going to be Robin and she's ready for whatever that entails. (IMO canon Carrie is closer to fanon Tim than canon Tim is but *that* deserves its own post-) like she takes one look at the old man that is Batman and goes yup. he's never fucking getting rid of me now. if Bruce started having weird feelings about her, i think she'd have *fun* with it. she's decided she's in it for the long haul and for whatever being Robin means so. she's almost teasing about it, seeing how hard she can push before Bruce snaps. since it's an older, gruffer Bruce, i think he'd express open annoyance at it first, almost a sort of banter about how Carrie behave. but of course he caves and Carrie leans into it, because there's a fun in having all of Bruce's attention to herself. in the main timeline, Bruce is pretty split with so many Robins and Batgirls, but during their era, it's *just* her and him and she's very proud she's got him all to herself.
