No Michael Sheen? :((
Yeah, I don't think Michael is at the BAFTAs, unfortunately. No reports of him on the red carpet at all, or pictures, so it seems like he is not in attendance. My guess is that this due to the run of Nye ending and him heading back to Wales, but the timing is really quite a shame, considering how unbelievably stunning and delicious and very not straight David looks....
I think it's also likely that David might've known that he was not likely to win, and so as fervently as Michael would have wanted to be there to support his husband, I would not be surprised if David told him it was okay if he wasn't able to attend, especially given the run in Cardiff is starting so soon.
Still, definitely hoping that David and Michael did some Facetiming prior to the event so David could show off this gorgeous suit. I can so easily picture Michael telling him how perfect the suit is and how sexy he looks in it. And if nothing else, we can all be happy knowing that Michael was (and is) undoubtedly incredibly proud of David even just for receiving a nomination. So that is some small comfort...

you guys won't believe this but y'all what a miracle..... God's grace always seems to come in floods when you least expect it. The boy problem is now resolved and at rest (well. somewhat.)
I somehow got around to talking to him yesterday about the disastrous conversation (the one where he went on at length about my age) and, God bless him, it was all ignorance rather than malice. He listened for a while, his face becoming more and more drawn and appalled as I explained how X thing came off, and at one point he just put his head on the table and was very, very upset because he hadn't thought about it from my perspective and hadn't realised the effects of his words. It was a surprisingly comfortable conversation (it is always easy to talk to him), and it was a relief to hear from his lips that he hadn't meant any of it in a hurtful way - he hadn't thought about how his words might sound at all.

no because i read the first like, four chapters of the outlaws webtoon and was immediately like "haha, no?? why is jay acting like bruce never thought of him as his son? why does this author have it out for b so bad?". i'm glad to know i made the right choice if it just got worse
I could understand the ‘wow, I guess I never really found a family with Bruce if this is just always how it’s going to be with him’ mindset, especially if Bruce was being particularly cruel with him.
[ Batman and Robin #20 (2011) ]
He can be cruel. Exploring Jason’s thought process, how he resolves this in his mind and comes to forgive Bruce again and again is something they could have at least touched on. Instead, they not only did nothing new to move the disagreement forward, but they also muddied it further, in a bad way. If they want to complicate (or worse, attempt to resolve) Jason and Bruce’s decades long conflict, that should be a separate comic entirely.
They could have just had Jason cut Bruce off completely (even if temporarily) with the set-up they had, but they did nothing with it (even though they could have avoided the mess they made if they took this route).
Bruce again does something unforgivable to Jason (but now his friends get fucked over too), only for there to be a half-assed make-up conversation that didn’t really address the real issue, and then there’s no further mention of it. Bruce put the outlaws in a simulation for months without their knowledge, and the conversation Bruce had with Jason later wasn’t even about this. Screw Artemis and Bizarro, I guess. They’re expendable because the core conflict is actually about Jason and Bruce.
I wouldn’t say the bad Brucie moments are too ooc based on how he is in canon. The abuse, and him being big on mass surveillance/never trusting anyone while being the one to repeatedly betray other people’s trust. It’s just all the other characters being so tolerant/accepting of his actions is kinda funny, it’s almost like they’re NPCs lol. But also again why are Bruce’s trust issues which cause a strain on his relationship with Jason a main theme in the outlaws book lmao
Ultimately what this webtoon did was take every irritating plot from Jason’s canon appearances, amplified them tenfold, and mixed in even more unresolved plotholes and horrible mis characterizations.

God I'm fucking tired
Had to unfollow and block like 4 separate blogs that were perfectly fine up until today because they were saying hateful, short-sighted shit under the guise of being progressive. All of which were things that directly applied to me. Real fucking inclusive and tolerant environment being fostered right now.
Gonna be off of Tumblr for a few days because it's pissed me off that much

If you are taking prompts for the (Un)Wanted Sander Sides series/AU (which is, of course, an incredible series), I've always thought it would be interesting to see the others' reactions to finding out Janus's past.
Like, maybe after Virgil has been there long enough to be more stable, he realizes that having this group of people to support him has been really helpful, so he encourages Janus to open up to them.
I just think it'd be really interesting to see where you'd go with that--since Janus is such a figure of mystery to the others in this universe and is so used to keeping things to himself and being strong for everyone else, that it would be interesting to see how he would react to having others support him now
(especially since while Reality/Thomas was certainly better than having no one, there were a lot of things he could have done better, and in the form he currently interacts with Janus in, he likely is bothersome as much as he is helpful).
Idk, just thought it could be a cool extension of that universe if that's something you would enjoy writing more in.
(Also you are an incredible author and I am very thankful for everything you write!!!)
I'm going to be honest, I sat and thought about this one for a long time. I tried to write it and I got as far as Janus admitting it was a problem (that took so long ffs janus let people help you) before I had to stop bc brain no words.
I think, with a heavy heart, I'm going to close the door on the (Un)Wanted universe. It's been so long since I wrote the original that I can't get back into the voice of it properly, both for internal consistency reasons and because my skill as a writer has changed so much.
I hope this isn't too much of a let down, and I thank you and everyone who loved that series as much as I still do for being willing to take the ride with me. I know I still go back and reread those fics because they mean so much to me, but I think I'm going to let them exist in their own little garden now.
