can you really talk about tim's tendency to idolize and place dick on a pedestal and his semi-entitlement to understanding dick without also talking about dick's tendency to project his own feelings and insecurities onto tim and also his semi-entitlement to his right to try and micromanage how tim should feel and react about things. i, personally, cannot.

#dick and tim #anyways trust me when i say that none of this is meant in a negative way because this is what i Like about them lmao #forever thinking of the M/F fight where dick expects that tim will go alone with his line of thinking just because he says so #and is shocked when tim doesn't and instead has his own thoughts and feelings abt the matter #and babs has to tell him that tim isn't him & had a fundamentally different experience to him #it's like hmmm very realistic to me #the way they do this to each other in a way that almost is depersonalizing but like isn't actually #it's more just that they understand each other so well most of the time that it's easy to forget that they're their own person #with their own thoughts and feelings #like hm. there is something very realistically siblings about it in that #older siblings do tend to try and dominate the relationship with their thoughts and feelings because #their first memories are of being expected to lead their sibling and the sibling usually comes at a time when the older sib is v possessive #so the older sibling conceives the younger sibling as belonging to them and being kind of a hm extension of them vs their own person #meanwhile the younger sibling has no knowledge of a life where the older sibling doesn't exist #and the younger sibling's experience is that of observation of the older sibling from basically the very first day of life #so the younger sibling will often see and perceive the older sibling in very interesting ways #they're always learning something with thay observation good or bad #and thus probably develop more instrinsic understanding than even the parents do #and conflict comes because each is their own person but it's hard to see them that way sometimes #anyways there's also another thread where for dick it's hard to conceptualize tim's family of origin as real compared to them #but that's like mainly headcanon just know i'm right and it's interesting

My afraid-of-romance ass has just been asked by another regular customer for my number and the stupid thing is that again I do think this guy is kinda cute and I really probably should say yes

#the fear tho lmao #what am I afraid of? I have no fucking clue #this is why I’m still questioning my sexuality lol like what am I? do I even actually like guys? do I like anyone?#in an existential spiral at the moment #but honestly why do they always ask for my number #like dude just give me yours and let me make the decision when you’re not right here in front of me #but I felt bad telling him no today just because the last time a customer asked and I said yes I almost immediately regretted it #and then that didn’t work out because I thought he was too young #young* and now he still sometimes comes by and I just feel awkward about it #maybe I should turn to Facebook and see if I can find him because I have set an age limit for myself and I really don’t want to entertain #anyone younger than that #but I’m……… I know I’m like never active in here anymore #but I just needed to talk about this somewhere #because any of my coworkers would probably tell me I’m being ridiculous or they’d just seriously keep questioning why I keep saying no to #customers that hit on me and my best friend would probably also not get it #idk y’all I just needed to rant about it/talk about it #anyway I’m definitely gonna stress over this until tomorrow #and I’m gonna feel really bad if he stops coming by

headcanon that all of hua cheng's statues are taller than the actual xie lian bc before they reunited, xie lian was always taller than hua cheng

#i know mxtx places a lot of emphasis on hc having always *known* who xl is at the core of himself #and also idk if wu ming was canonically taller than xl (can't remember lmao)#but just like. hua cheng's experiences with happened (for the most part) when he was younger than him #and therefore shorter #idk just like...#the mental image of hc crafting sculptures of his god for centuries #desperately trying to craft a perfect copy out of imperfect memory #only finally meet xl wearing wedding red #and realize that all along every single one of those statues was off by a simple discrepancy in height.#like i don't even mean to imply anything angsty there i just feel so many things #the bridegroom scene!? i know it gets glossed over a bit in contrast to everything else exciting that happens between them #but just like hua cheng's thoughts about everything during that.... URGH #i have thought about writing that scene from his pov so many times holy fuck. the only thing stopping me is my own perfectionism #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #hob #heaven official's blessing #he looked up to him.... literally #xie lian #hua cheng

i love being several years older than my year group at university because i can just do an age reveal as a fun party trick

#yesterday i thoroughly shocked my friend's boyfriend who has known me for several years because he always thought i was younger than him #(i am three years older)#for context in scotland people start uni at like 17. 16 even #most internationals started at 18 #i'm from finland we graduate high school at 19. i was closer to 20 by the time i started university #i'm doing a masters and they all think i'm like 20-21 </3 #also last summer i did an internship among phd students and they were treating me as like a young little gen zer asking me for opinions on #tiktok trends and stuff because i'm 'so young' and i was like guys i'm literally your age. they said they thought i was 19 </3

im not even done my current kuwameshi fic and im already getting ideas about new ones...

#kuwameshi #give me a sec i'll reblog later with the actual idea but like #WHAT IF UM KUWAMESHI BUT UM. PRINCESS BRIDE AU...#i also have another song fic idea but it's way sillier than the one i have on ao3 #based off you me and steve by garfunkel and oates #i got the idea cos i just remembered when yusuke got back from training with genkai the 1st time and instead of a 1 on 1 date with keiko #kuwabara is also? there? and it's just so funny to me like what. and then they're supposed to all 3 go to the movies together?#AND WHEN THEY GET THERE THE 2 BOYS DITCH KEIKO?? for a mission yeah but she doesn't know that!!#and then yusuke and keiko actually go on a date alone and it gets interrupted cos of younger toguro #and shortly after kuwabara shows up so it looks like he was bound to come across them??#as far as a i remember the next time yu and keiko get together alone is the day he tells her to just wait and she's like im literally #not gonna wait for you <3 and it was so funny she just walked off lmaoo #anyway im trying to say i wanna make a silly little fic addressing the fact that keiko is like. pursuing her crush on yusuke #but kuwabara is kinda just. always there and it's fun she does like him but it's just awkward #planning on having her ask kuwa to maybe give her and yusuke some time alone like maybe just avoid their next outing #and kuwa is like oh damn :( ok good luck and yusuke shows up to the date and he's like woah wait. where tf is kuwabara?#keiko is like bruh. and she makes up some shit about him mentioning that he felt sick or wtv and yusuke is like ''then y are we here?#i should check on him. i dont think that guy has even been put outta commission by anything but my fist!'' and keiko just follows him #cos what else can she do. and kuwa is fine ofc and yusuke is like bro what gives i thought you were sick and kuwa is dense sometimes but he #catches on from keiko's desperate look and he's like well i got better *flexes his arm* and yu is like i knew you were too dumb to catch #a cold. and he's stupid happy that kuwa is fine and can come with them after all ''hey he's fine ya hear that keiko''#and then keiko is watching this whole exchange eyes blown wide open and she's like actually i just remembered i have plans #you two should totally go without me tho and yu agrees so easily that it just solidifies that she made the right call #kuwa is looking back at her all confused and she gives HIM the good luck thumbs up. he gets as red as his hair and #yusuke is worried he really is coming down with something

thinking about frankenstein's monster again, not anything in particular just kinda brain rotating him like he's the well liked side character of a bad shonen anime

#i'm always thinking about jekyll and hyde though i've been obsessed with those guys since i was way younger #but mister frankenstein's monster has wormed his way into my heart #i'm much too sleepy right now to finish it but when i wake up i hope to continue a video i was watching about the original novel #the concept of frankenstein's monster itself just astounds me it's so great #just everything about it #it feels like a commentary of sorts and maybe it is maybe it isn't #i thought to be thy adam but i am rather the fallen angel #victor is his creator and while not necessarily his god the monster is HIS adam #while the monster had to learn the customs of man he did not truly have to learn how to be man itself #he was created with emotion and the abilities man posses #all he ever wanted was to live and as a creature born with the passion to live amongst men as much as any other man he couldn’t #a hell within itself #and a hell that he did not deserve #a tragedy he could not help and a series of tragedies that overcame him #to not be able to be loved by man and yet be surrounded by him is a worse fate than death #he surely would have rather never lived at all #or maybe been invisible to man entirely #i have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe #if i cannot satisfy the one i will indulge the other #he is a creature of emotion cursed to a life of blind rage #in any other world would he have met a different fate? not at all #man cannot change and he cannot change how he first perceived man and how he was perceived by him #maybe im crazy though #i am crazy im a crazy person!!!#nimposting

literally such an idiot. why did i agree to stay friends with him? have to listen to him be all sweet and kind to me, knowing he chose another girl.

#and he’s basically got a little family now #she’s got a son #and she’s younger and more exciting than me #and probably prettier #i’m really glad i don’t know what she looks like #cause i know i’d compare myself #he’s a genuinely good man #which makes it worse #i’ll always feel like i missed out on him #jealousy is so ugly #i hate it #i hate myself rn #thoughts

just thinking about an au where maura and kyle move to gotham and maura and catherine work at the same restaurant and became friends so jason and kyle meet and form a wonder girl fanclub because i mean...

#maura rayner #catherine todd #kyle rayner #jason todd #donna troy #jaykyle #this is meant to be future jaykyle #dc thoughts #mypost #i want to mess it up i think i want steph to become robin first #steph becomes spoiler (with jason and kyle's help) and then she becomes robin after she meets batman #(kyle totally thinks she should've stayed spoiler i think he would he's probably all for individuality and identity stuff)#steph starts both spoiler and robin younger than she did in canon #i'm not sure if i want jason to end up vigilante in the end or not but kyle does become gl but quite a bit later like when he's ~20 #i've also changed my mind i think catherine doesn't die #this is important to me i need an au where catherine doesn't die and gets to raise her baby boy #but anyway maura helps support catherine and they take care of her too so she sends jason back to school #jason becomes a doctor and helps out with leslie sometimes #i'm definitely not going to have steph or jason die bcos there isn't a need they don't always have to #but perhaps steph does get captured by black mask and jason becomes temporary robin because of that

I don’t think I’ve ever seen people get invested in celebrity drama IRL but my local deli / coffee shop is very clearly playing Jonas Brothers radio on the Alexa.

#personally I’m on team Sophie turner because she’s slightly younger than me #and Joe Jonas was a slightly older teenage heartthrob when I was in middle/high school #so that seems like an age gap?#and I always thought it was a little odd #esp bc he was well established celebrity while she was a very new rising star #but also I’m not deeply invested #and I really like this coffee shop #so it’s just a mild curiosity #a ‘huh interesting’ moment

I'm not done yet but hey are you giving zuko eldest daughter trauma because I'll fucking kill you I read ONE line it's probably the first of what's to come but I'm sending the hate ask now xoxo

ofc i wouldn't do that! he's just fistfighting a saviour complex and is eternally burdened by the responsibility of raising and caring for his sister while simultaneously being a child himself and always putting himself before the worst of the war so that azula doesn't have to all the while growing more and more rage towards the situation until it all comes out in a very cataclysmic scene that i will definitely cry at when writing :)

#he's got that fiona gallagher in him #big thief rlly went to town with mythological beauty and 'there is a child inside you who is trying to raise a child in me' v tams zukocore #the funny thing about zuko and azula's relationship is that yes it's kinda wholesome but it is still ultimately fucked #and yet i find them pretty easy to write bc i literally just go 'what would me and my sister be like in this situation'#like ive said before how my sister never really stepped up as the eldest and ive always felt like we shared that role #like i'll give it to her she's better at being the eldest in certain situations and im better in others #and it's always been us helping our mum bc as capable and brilliant as my mum is she's also doing everything alone #and her temper is... not great. so me and my sister took care of each other in our own way #and by 'our own way' i mean we have NEVER had a stereotypical relationship. our age gap is too small and we're both too mean #literally zuko's ch1 quote about 'they'd never been protective of each other' is directly inspired by me and my sister #i dont feel protective of her i dont feel a need to keep her safe and happy and it's really odd bc i KNOW im supposed to but i just dont #and she doesnt for me even though she's the 'eldest'. and yet i love her and would kill and die for her #and also if we were in this situation and we were trying to shield each other #from certain horrors that we thought the other couldn't handle then we'd have to be SO CLEVER ABOUT IT #bc just like zuko with azula if i caught my sister trying to patronise me/protect me i would HIT THE ROOF #like i am thoroughly convinced there is nothing she can handle that i cant and vice versa so we'd have to be soooo slick about it #and while with zuko and azula that only holds to an extent bc azula is ultimately YEARS younger than zuko #and whatever you think of her personality she just straight up should not be exposed to certain things #(neither should zuko but yk what i mean)#it still stands and we see throughout tams the v clever ways zuko has learned to protect azula so that she doesnt catch on #like either the next chapter or the one after (probs the one after) there's a really horrific scene #that's just super dark and gory and while with a normal younger sibling you'd do something to keep their eyes on you and not on the scene #like lie to them or make it into a game or something so they're unaware of what's happening #but instead zuko sees what's happening and before azula can he quickly gets her to check their supplies and count their money or some shit #like giving her a job to acknowledge her capability and not patronise her while still shielding her from a really brutal scene #and it just goes over zuko's head that at sixteen he ALSO SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO THAT #but long story short i just think that's so funny. like the fire hazards are sooo fucked and for good reason #but it literally just boils down to me and my dumbass sister #so yeah. very niche eldest daughter syndrome emanating from tams zuko #ask

While waiting for my mom today to finish up her work, I happened to do some small talk with an older man and during that he asked me what I did and I replied that I work and he goes 'At such a young age?' and oh my god I agree 😭

#the horrors of girlbossing too hard ate indeed many #but at least I get paid so there's that #and also I assume that he was expecting me to say that I was still studying #but his daughter was literally younger than me #so even though I've always been told that I usually look younger than my age #it's still nice to see people getting confused lol #auroras thoughts #life adventures #everyday life

is geoff johns run on the Teen Titans considered good by people?

#i read the first thirty issues and genuinely thought it was bad and cringe and that the man has never spoken to a teenager in his life #other than maybe having like a kid egg his car or something #because to me it feels like he writes all teenagers with the same strokes off: life is depressing being a teen sucks nothing good happens #which... like i guess would be fine if he did that for like 1 character but he did it with characters that weren't like that?#and made it so the titans barely felt like a family... the younger titans felt like kids forced to be at a summer camp who lowkey hated #each other and resented being there in the first place #like they kinda grew out of that but like. idk they just felt estranged from one another and always felt to me in the issues i read #that they 1) didn't respect what being a titan meant 2) were happy to throw stones at old 'crazy' titans 3) were miserable ppl with drama #that i couldn't get invested in because it was so stupid #like we have: tim 'you don't know how hard it is to lie to your dad' drake #cassie 'i'm here to be the female representative of my generation and it shows' sandsmark #bart 'i read a lot of books and it got rid of my entire personality and fundamentally changed my characterization for the worse' allen #and conner 'whines about kansas and thinks outcomes are determined by your genetics' kent #like sorry i was messed up when i was a teen but like... i would have never sympathized or seen myself in these kids...
