[Perhaps, a little out of character, but we've never really seen Rafal with actual hobbies, so take this, I guess:]

⸻

Rafal: I love power vacuums—I could put my feet up and watch them go aimlessly all day, then swoop in, take over, and get the job done.

Rhian: I didn't think you valued cleaning supplies that much, considering the state of Evil's halls.

Rafal: Bah! Not that kind, you fool. [He looks back at his magical projection and leans in with widening eyes, grinning far too much.]

Rhian: Well, excuse me for thinking you had any kind of vested interest in your and your students' health and safety.

Rafal: [enthralled by the screen and not hearing one word.] Not now. Tell it to me later. Also, quick: fetch me a snack. There are no commercial breaks via Spellcast and the king of Akgul's about to be beheaded by some other crazed ninny jockeying for power. And I already bet heads would roll! The die are cast! Place your bets now, brother, if you want to cash in.

Rhian: [sighs and mutters to himself under his breath:] It's all "airtight alibis" and "motives" and "which warlord will die next" with you—why can't you just watch recreational jousts like a normal person?

I’m sorry to all the heavily monogamous Lilia fans, if malleus’s parents survived he totally would’ve been in a polygamous relationship with the both of them. I don’t make the rules. And to all the polyamorous readers out there better hope you’re born a fae or malleus’s parents chill on the I hate humans thing.

Malenoa ascending to the afterlife, a bit hopeful that she's finally gonna meet Levan again:

Then she finds out he's been buying milk all this time and the only fatherly thing he's done for their son is cheer on him during Spelldrive

Hey maybe Ianto’s seduction of Jack was an even bigger and longer con than we thought. We know he initially flirted his way in to torchwood to hide and save Lisa, and it’s always been a bit of a head scratcher as to why he then pursued the man he held responsible for killing his girlfriend for real.

But maybe when the save-Lisa plan drastically, horrifically failed he continued the strategy….. as an avenge-Lisa plan. “How do I make Jack feel the same pain I do? Make him fall in love with me until I inevitably die tragically, violently, and young (because I work for torchwood). That’ll show him!”

ANNOUNCEMENT ! The Truth Behind Everything

recap: main announcement, individual asks, more qnas

Hey loves,

I’ve been thinking about how to go about this, and after seeing the way everyone reacted—some of you believing me, some questioning me, and some even being genuinely happy for me—I decided that I should be honest. You all deserve some background because, the truth is, what I initially announced was not an April Fools’ prank.

Everything I said in my announcement was real. I was actually reached out to—anonymously at first—through email after they found my and my friend's Instagram. After several discussions and a creative test, I was given an opportunity [about 4 months of back and forth]. But within 24 hours of announcing it, things happened, and I had to drop out of a major role. That’s when I thought about turning this entire thing into an April Fools’ joke to cover it up and not let it go to waste... :( though I couldve just be like, "hey, I didn't get the job" and move on but I'm choosing to give insights. I even wrote a post revealing it as a prank, but then I saw how many of you still weren’t sure what to believe, how some of you were genuinely happy for me, and how my own friends, despite their confusion, continued to support me. That’s when I realized I couldn’t go through with pretending it was a joke when it wasn’t one in the first place. My own conscience wouldn’t let me.

I won’t go too much into detail here in Tumblr, but just know that I made the best decision for myself. This experience made me realize just how different things are behind the scenes. If I had gone ahead and posted the April Fools’ ‘reveal,’ would you have ever believed that the opportunity actually happened and I was just covering it up? Probably not. And that’s exactly how things work in the idol industry too—if you don’t know the background, you don’t know the background. People can feed you anything.

I’m also adding a screenshot of the initial post I wrote as a ‘prank reveal’ to show you what I originally intended to say. But one thing that remains true in my prank reveal post is, what happened with svthub members lol, guys, I'm sorry for not seeing the pings on time and just poofing. They didn’t force me, some were skeptical but—they were happy, excited, curious, but most importantly, they stayed by my side even while I was silent. And for that, I am grateful.

Thank you for sticking with me through this. This has been a lot, and I’ll be back to posting soon [From tomorrow] [yes, I'll be! You'll see my notice soon again].

Crowley, gesturing wildly: But WHY?! We had everything! food, wine, books, a planet that didn’t implode, what more do they WANT?!

Mobius: Hierarchy.

Crowley: Oh, that’s rich coming from your guy. You do realize Loki’s entire personality is ‘down with the system’ but also ‘let me be the system’?"

Mobius, sighing: Yeah. I know my guy.

Crowley: You ever just… wanna kick ‘em in the shins a little?

Mobius: I don’t think Loki has shins anymore, but yeah.

IN KIND, AND IN TASTE

Pairing(s); Flashy flash x reader x speed-o’-sound sonic Flashy flash x reader Speed-o'-sound sonic x reader Genre; love triangle, rivalry summary; rivalry between two ninjas, and former partners, to earn the heart of their shared attraction. We'll start off with a general paragraph for both Sonic and Flash then yeah ahahha LONG A/N: idk what this is haha NOT PROOFREAD, so excuse any grammar /spelling mistakes or overall sloppy writing

there was certainly something special about you, there’s no doubt about it, how could someone ‘average’ be capable of attracting the fancy of, not only one highly skilled stoic ninja. But two!

was it also a coincidence that both of them, flashy flash and speed-o’-sound sonic, were raised in the same ninja village and were even formally called friends.

The two sword-wielders seemed to have more in common than one would think. Their fighting style, their body types, and even their taste,

You were like nothing they had ever seen. They gravitated towards you like moths to a radiant light.

You were insanely powerful, no doubt about that. The way you carried yourself was nothing less than captivating. You were just so desirable to them. So well crafted… perfect for them.

Speed-o’-sound sonic at first rivals you, and is pleasantly surprised by your sheer strength. He thought the emotions he was feeling were just the adrenaline of the thrill he gets from fighting strong opponents. But it was different for you. Every time he challenged you, and lost, he grew more infatuated by you rather than frustrated. He starts being nicer toward you, his definition of nice, at least. Going up to you more to greet you than to fight you, maybe ask about your day. He’s very awkward and stiff in these exchanges, due to the fact he’s not really used to “friendly ” conversations with other people. The more he does it, the better he gets at it though. But, lord… he’s so incredibly allured by you. By everything you do. His small interest had morphed into a suffocating attachment toward you. It became a routine, whenever you’re doing some mundane task, away from friends or work, Sonic always appears by your side, greeting you in his own unique way. He accompanies you, listening to you attentively as you talk about your day or anything you’re interested in. In his head, he’s scribbling down notes on what you like, and more information about that interest if you talk about it to him. He pays close attention to everything you do. And can often tell when you’re feeling down, no matter how good you are at hiding it. He demands that you tell him what's wrong, if you do, he’ll say something like “how dare something so insignificant trouble someone like you! I’ll eliminate it.” And attempts to comfort you (but he sucks at it), but it warrants a laugh from you so it's alright. He stays by your side until he's sure you feel better. He goes all out whenever you're watching him fight, flaunting his amazing skill and speed. Then eagerly tries to get you to complement or say something positive about his moves, he tries not to make it obvious but its obvious... He’ll do anything you ask of him, he’ll burn the world down if that’s what you wanted.

Flahy flash has a keen eye, especially for potential and power, and you were far from lacking either. He’s amused by you, to say the least. He watches you from afar for awhile, his interest in you building up slowly with every gaze that was fixated on you. As a “test” (💀), he attacks you, but you dodge his attacks and start interrogating him on why he was attacking you. He apologizes and says his hand slipped (?), then introduces himself to you. He caresses your hand and leans to brush a gentle kiss on your knuckles, almost like a prince (who had just tried to cut you). In this first official greeting, he introduces himself, even though you probably know who he is, using big words and stuff to impress you, also he makes sure to stand extra tall and proper when you're around, glancing at you subtly just to see if you were looking at him by any chance. If you're a hero, whether an S-class or a lower rank, he'll go out of his way to try and join you when you're doing hero work, if anything, it kind of makes him more productive and faster in his own tasks (he just wants to finish everything on his agenda so he can have an excuse to join you in whatever you're doing) If you're on missions together, expect him to show grace to his name: "flashy", he'll make sure he's extra quick, dramatic, and extra photogenic when he's defeating enemies, most of the time not even giving you a chance to fight anything just so you can witness his chivalry and precision. Away from hero work (or maybe you're not even a hero) He's more gentle and soft, his words rolling off his tongue with unwavering charm. He truly has a way with words. You don't notice but he stares at you lovingly whenever you're talking, sometimes your words fade away as he starts to admire your beauty, and he'll often have to ask you to repeat what you said. He showers you with gifts, he pretends like its no big deal and he just has extra money to spare, but it doesn't go unnoticed to you that everytime you like a post about a product you like or your eyes lingers long enough at something, its suddenly at your doorstep the next day (obv from flash). Between the two, he's the more obvious one, it doesn't show in his expressions however, which makes you doubt if he truly has some kind of feelings for you or if he was sent to kill you or something. (he just never noticed how cold his face looks when its strained, poor guy, he's just used to earing that face all the time)

Tranquil pupils follow your solemn form as you stroll by, blissfully unaware of the borrowing owl gazing upon your glory, your elegance, your unfathomable enchantress. It isn’t possible for someone to feel this much devotion for someone who doesn’t even belong to them, yet. You must have bewitched him, ensnared him into your unrelenting hold.

Flashy flash’s face remained still, composed, cold. His eyes were sharp as he continued to trail your grace. Softness was not in his pallet, not even for you, at least not until you realize how phenomenal and absolutely dashing he was. Every step, every move every action of his is calculated, precise, dripping with sheer, staggering skill.

He was no ordinary person, and neither were you. You two were made for each other. He would make sure to show you how worthy you are of him. How you two deserve each other. But…

He feels a twitch from his eyesbrow, his eyes being violated by a dark, depressing pest, now standing beside you. Were you smiling just now? At that guy, no less…? How horrid… how could you grin at such a sight. It would help if Speed-o’-sound sonic was the least bit knowledgeable on how to dress, but his sense of style was simply as grotesque as his features.

Hey, sonic’s a highly wanted criminal. Why not just swoop in and attack him?

...

He can’t do that. It might upset you.

Right, a match made in heaven. Then what was stopping flash from simply asking you on a date? Charming you with his elegance and his smooth tongue (in more ways that one). He can imagine how his date with you would go, what he would do, what he would say, and where he would take you, to render you awe-truck and successfully his. He’s an S-class hero, for god’s sake! And he's hung with you many times before, it wouldn't be uncomfortable for either of you...

That look that you gave Sonic. That’s what was stopping him, that lingering gaze… that he would never wish to see you direct to anyone but him. He feels his jaw tighten further with every passing second, with every word exchanged by you and Sonic. Flashy flash clicked his tongue and sprinted off, cursing to himself, and vowing that he would take care of this predicament later.

Sonic's soft gaze shifted from your face to the roof of a building, significantly far from them, his eyes hardening back to his usual expression. He could sense Flashy flash's precence from a mile away, Flash truly underestimated Sonic's abilities, huh?

Just as aware as Flash was of Sonic and your closeness, Sonic was aware of Flash and yours.

the only upside about tomasi's intro tec plotline where "uwu it was just a dream i mean training simulation" is that it casts bruce's 16 birthday "gift" for tim in a hilarious new light

Tim: How would you feel like if someone got you confusing trauma for your birthday???

Bruce: I'd say awww that's so thoughtful of you... it's exactly what I was asking for...

Letting Go Of Control Is Critical

Letting go means surrendering your ego’s desire to control and dictate the course of your future. It’s a conscious act of releasing the wheel and inviting the Spirit of the universe to take over and guide you instead. The beauty of this surrender lies in the fact that the universe operates from a higher dimension—one where the past, present, and future are fully known and held in perfect awareness. Because of this, it is far better equipped to lead you toward your highest good. You can safely and confidently place your trust in the Holy Spirit to guide your steps. As you formally and verbally declare your intention to relinquish control, you open yourself to a divine path shaped not by fear or force, but by wisdom, peace, and purpose. Hence the very important line in the Lord's Prayer in which you declare "let thy will be done". This line is taken far too casually or lost its complete meaning over numerous repetition by millions of Christians, but this declaration must be meant and taken very seriously when you declare it in your mind/prayers. You are surrendering and yielding to the will of our greater father and source rather than your own. Make this declaration often.

The celestial force we often refer to as the Holy Spirit is frequently viewed as something supernatural. In truth, it exists fully within the natural order of the universe. All living beings have access to it, for we are intrinsically and eternally one with the cosmos. As quantum science begins to uncover the underlying fabric of reality, it is only now catching up to what truly spiritual individuals across traditions have long understood: that what we’ve historically labeled as “God,” “spirit,” or even “ghost” is not a distant or mystical anomaly, but a very real and present force embedded in the nature of existence itself.

Other Tips & Affirmations (declare them in your own words to truly mean them)

Declare that you are not special or distinct from your fellow humans and neighbors. In a culture where we are constantly told by our parents how special we are, it's done more damage than good by implicitly planting seeds in our minds that we are not equal or better than others. Instead declare and accept that we are all one. We are all figurative children of the universe and siblings part of a greater family. We are all one. So anytime you see someone "different" or someone you despise or lean on disliking, forgive whatever animosity you have towards them and declare that we are all brothers/sisters and you extend our fathers blessings onto them

When you see someone going through hardships or suffering, help them in any way that you can but if you can't extend your blessings to them too. Remember that we are all one, so don't turn a blind eye to them or think "that's not my problem". Expressing empathy or compassion is much better than not caring and keeps you in harmony with the greater universe that is love. Far too often in a nation that labels itself "Christian due to our founding fathers" many routinely overlook this very basic teaching of their own faith.

Forgive others often, no matter how trivial. If your feelings were slightly hurt, someone cut you off, someone was rude, short, condescending or passive aggressive to you. Your initial reaction is a defensive one, that's your cue to forgive. Overall, feeling of "how dare you disrespect me" is your prompt, and the more you do this the more invulnerable you become to those "offenses"

Seeing others that are superficially different than you should serve as a reminder and prompt to declare to the universe we are all one.
