when im writing them, i often find myself thinking about the difference between jiang cheng and wei wuxian's anger. im not sure how to put it into words, but the way they both express anger is so interesting to me bc like... for jiang cheng, it tends to be his first response. he's confronted with something unpleasant and the safest response is to be angry and lash out, because then that protects the vulnerability hidden beneath whatever has upset him. his anger tends to be explosive, with shouting and violence, until eventually it ebbs away and the vulnerable emotion underneath is revealed. wei wuxian, however, tends to let it simmer until it eventually boils over. I think about the confrontation with jin zixun about the wens a lot, and how you can see him trying to keep a lid on the anger at first, and how that makes him cold and sharp (which is made all the more striking by how warm he is under better circumstances) until finally he can't keep a lid on it anymore and the anger boils over, which is the point at which you should probably aim to leave his general vicinity because an angry wei wuxian is very, very scary

Whenever I write Yoichi and I talk about the demons he struggles with,,,,this is basically it, this is what he swallows down, this is what he feels guilty over, this is what I mean when I say he's also a little evil 🥰
The lyrics are hard to hear so I'll put them below the cut ✨
I've been watching him for my entire life
I hate the air he breathes, his foolish decrees
His words so contrived
And I hate the way the townspeople gather outside
They hang on every breath, cling to his chest
Home to his heart full of pride
The oracle told him to beware the Ides
And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't wishing
For untimely death or demise
Or am I just wishing I could be like you?
That the people would see me too as a poet
And not just the muse
Oh, it's not true, I don't wish harm upon you
From birth we've been like brothers of different mothers
Within the spirit of the same womb
May the gods strike me down if I forsake you
Frater meus, you're beautifully made
And to you I'm forever grateful
I'll never forget that you showed me to make art
And I know the love you showed me came
From a pure and noble heart
I love you, and if you want, I'll call you King
But why do I lie awake each night thinking: "Instead of you, it should be me"?
Something wicked this way comes
And as I set to face it, I'm unsure
Should I embrace it, should I run?
What motivates me? Hatred? Is it love?
What's more wrong; that I too wish to be great
Or my mother wished she'd had a son?
And even if I can't be the one
Maybe I could at least help make way for him
Until the day that he comes
Maybe my name could also be known
That I helped return good to the people
And restored greatness to Rome
Brutus, Brutus, Brutus, Brutus! Brutus, Brutus, Brutus, Brutus! Brutus, Brutus, Brutus, Brutus! Brutus, Brutus, Brutus, Brutus!
My name is Brutus and my name means heavy
So with a heavy heart I'll guide this dagger into the heart of my enemy
My whole life, you were a teacher and friend to me
Please know my actions are not motivated only by envy
I, too, have a destiny
This death will be art
The people will speak of this day from near and afar
This event will be history, and I'll be great too
I don't want what you have, I want to be you!
I always knew I could be the one
Though I feel the endless pain of being
And I am scorched by the Sun
Of humble origins and born of the cursed sex
My name is Brutus, but the people will call me Rex...

Gnawing on the lineup for Bailey's iteration of the Titans West again. So far I'm thinking...
Adults:
Bailey Adler/Golden Eagle II
Bette Kane/Flamebird (of Earth)
Eddie Bloomberg/Red Devil
Newbies:
Katie (Cooper?)/Hummingbird II
Lanos/???
...With Ollie on speed-dial. I need to work out who'd be about Katie and Laney's age -- maybe make someone up? Visually this group is all reds/yellows/pinks too, except for Laney in green-and-white. I gotta rethink that...

Hey come along with me for a minute come look at my new headcanon
So the Handprint ™ was created when Castiel pulled Dean out of Hell, that's just canon baybee
But Castiel was not occupying a vessel nor was Dean in his corporeal body at the time
It was Castiel's trueform making direct contact with Dean's soul
Therefore the handprint isn't literal
It's not a burn left on the surface of Dean's skin
It's a physical manifestation of something much, much deeper
It's not a burn it's a residue
It's a residue of grace that Cas can still feel, under very specific circumstances (that's not where I was going with this, you dirty bird)
Which means, perhaps
Because this residue is something that Cas can, under some circumstances, feel
And it is physically manifest on Dean's corporeal form (and also much, much deeper)
That Dean is, in fact, a multi-dimensional being
Because he's got traces of a multi-dimensional being in him which can be felt over multiple dimensions by said multi-dimensional being which means Dean, too, exists, to some degree, across all of those dimensions
