I'm rewatching EEAAO and, I'm sure someone already commented about I just didn't happen to see it, but I love the double entendre of Evelyne wanting to save her Joy (when she is speaking bird). The way it means both her daughter and her own happiness. It's just ...

If this is not too much asking, maybe you can do some artwork of Dionysus and Ariadne as Ariadne's in labour and its birth of their first child with Dionysus maybe being reminded of his past when chaos is happening but is overjoyed when the baby is born. Maybe put Eileithyia in or maenads as midwifes if you want to. Only if you OK with this 👍

Oh these two 🥺

Seeing Miyo bitchslap Usui will forever be one of the most satisfying thing I've seen in an anime and I will take no objections

I'm kind of vibing with the storybook idea. Here's Jason's

This one, I actually did draw entirely myself. Cheers.

I just realized something about Rei and his path toward fatherhood.

At the beginning of the shows, he spontaneously adopts a stray kitten, and while he does buy a lot of things for it, it is clear from Kazuki's reaction and his own laissez-faire attitude that he wouldn't properly care for it. It ends up with Kazuki returning the kitty to the street.

But with Miri, it's the inverse attitude. It's Kazuki who spontaneously adopts her. And, while they're both on the "give her back to her mom" boat at first, Rei was more enthused about it. In the end, after a whole arc, Kazuki is the one doubting they'd be able to care for their little girl and Rei convincing him. Proving that he will run the house with him and do chores and such. All so they can keep raising their daughter.

The arc went full circle.

I miss this family so much… 🥺🩵

There's also the fact that Cobra had every reasons to retire and live peacefully. He was a CIA agent. He has seen all kinds of horrifying things. All the cruelty one can act with toward their fellow human beings. And that's only the human side of things ! He singlehandedly saved our planet from extinction by convincing the alien council that mosquitoes were endangered.

That kind of life would traumatize anyone. Yet, he chooses to dedicate the rest of his working life to protect the most vulnerable ones of our society. Our children. He became a social worker. He became someone who does their best to keep families together or, if impossible, take measures so mistreated youths can have a second chance at a good life.

Cobra Bubbles is an inspiring character and one must be a fool to not recognize it

Everything I hear about the Lilo & Stitch revival somehow makes me angrier. Like,

That realization also led the filmmaking team to divide the character of Cobra Bubbles, Lilo's social worker in the animated film, into a CIA agent of the same name (Courtney B. Vance) and the new role of Mrs. Kekoa (Tia Carrere). "If the dramatic stakes of Lilo is that she's going to get separated from her sister, then you need a person who actually services those stakes in a credible way," Fleischer Camp says. "You can get away with that being Cobra Bubbles in an animated film — a 6-foot-5 huge dude with 'Cobra' tattooed on his knuckles is somehow a social worker in that world."

Hey. Hey, Director Dean Fleischer Camp. Why is a large black man with tattoos having a job as a social worker something you consider so ridiculous that it could only exist in animation? Why are you carefully sidestepping the fact that he is the only black character in the original film? Is it somehow more realistic to turn him into a figure who only interacts with the family through the lens of government defense against extraterrestrials? Or does the idea of a scary looking black man caring about the well-being of people's families confuse you, you racist piece of shit?

I feel like Steph and Lex are very similar characters. They both have an absent/dead parent, and the parent they do have is abusive/emotionally absent

But they have one key difference: Their wealth.

Lex essentially has nothing, she works a minimum wage job and has to watch after her sister, trying desperately to make ends meet so she Hannah and Ethan can get out of their crappy situation and to California.

In comparison, Steph is the mayors daughter. She can afford to slack off probably because of this. She has status and money and everyone knows who she is because she’s cool *and* because of who her father is and what he has. Even though it’s a running gag, one of her biggest upsets is getting her phone taken away or losing it.

Also I think Steph definitely has more friends than Lex, but those friendships are shallow. Steph knows Pete for a short period of time (idk the timeline of npmd but it’s not that long) and he becomes the person she cherishes most (though it could be her dad but he’s already dead). If this guy she just met means the most to her in such a short amount of time, what does that mean for her other relationships?

Meanwhile I think Lex doesn’t have a lot of people either, but Hannah and Ethan????? She’d take a bullet for either of them. Her situation means that she doesn’t have time for loved ones, but the ones she does have mean the world to her.

Steph could have her pick of the bunch but she didn’t fully realize how important deep relationships were until Pete (at least that’s my reading of Steph)

So I think if Lex and Steph met at the smoke club or something, they’d get along a lot at first, but slowly the wealth disparity between them would become clear and maybe even cause some resentment.

I just think it’s an interesting dynamic, and I’m not a burnerphone shipper but I do think if anyone is writing fics for them this would be an interesting conflict to explore

Like some conversation between the two where Steph is like “ You know you could just leave Hatchetfield, right now. You have the funds to get yourself a flight to the next state over and get a small apartment. Don’t just wait around in this trash heap”

And then Lex would be like “but I don’t have enough saved up for Hannah and Ethan, or even just me and Hannah. I can’t leave her alone with my mom. I need to make sure she stays in school and finishes like I couldn’t. I know Ethan and Duke are trying their best but I need to be there too.”

And then Steph realizes that not only does she not understand what it’s like to struggle to make ends meet, she doesn’t know what it’s like to give up her own comfort and ease for someone else.

DnD character idea : Warloock with a fey patron who missed to verify one or two tiny little details. They didn't went blind into it and clearly know how to negotiate with a fey, but it isn't airtight either. So, at one point during the campaign, the DM can hit the OC with the forgotten loophole!

Sometimes Bank Robber #5 will get the drop on one of the Bats and instead of helping, the rest of them will just stand off to the side encouraging the criminal.

~~

Red Hood: Hit 'em with an upper cut! Now!! Finish him!!!!

Spoiler: He's got a bruise on the back of his left knee! Aim for the left knee!!!

Robin: Your form is sloppy. Widen your stance and push your body into your punches.

Nightwing, 75 hours of no sleep, getting his ass kicked by a random mugger: Would you guys do something???

Red Robin, videotaping: We are.

~~

If the random criminal manages to knock a Bat out, then the others take them to Batburger before dropping them off at jail. This has only happened once.

Tim claims it's cause he had sepsis. Jason says Tim's a coward.

An incredibly nostalgic odor to me is the one of stables. Or more generally, of barns and farm.

When we were kid, my brother would go ride a horse weekly at the local equestrian club to improve his motricity. And I would follow along and watch him with my mom.

Plus, one of my grandma (my grandfather's wife) grew up in a farm. So when we'd visit her parents (they lived in a rural region and had acres of gardens) or one of her brothers who raised chicks, I was naturally surrounded by these odors.

It's just so incredibly nostalgic to me.

Haha, absolutely @adams-fav-roach ! I first imagined it with Dwayne as Batman because it's the easy pick (and you imagine the cuteness of Laddie goofing off as Robin and hiding behind the cape ?). But this shall the definitive version of this hc ! Dwayne as Robin and Laddie as Batman !

It just makes sense to me, plus it would nerf a bit the Water type considering how large and versatile it is.

the thing about azula having mixed race kids with aang or sokka is there’s a good idea on her grappling with her past prejudices. her having a child that is half swt or air nomad, and her having to realize the full extent of the colonial thought she was fed - but so little is done with it...

Agreed, that's why I brought it up, so much of the fandom and post-comet writing kind of just ignores the whole century of racist propaganda that was pumped out by an industrial society with things like the printing press to spread information far and wide. It goes for Zuko and Azula, to be fair it should go for Ursa, Mai, and Ty Lee too, but nowhere have I really seen it engaged with.
