“Another keeper: Ghost. Can’t get over the name though. What the hell kind of name is Ghost?”

Writers trying to convince Disney execs not to cancel Nimona, Owl House, and many other IPs:

It's almost laughable how ironic this scene is with what a dumpster fire Wish turned out to be

I'm not ever going to confront an osa women about her choice to be with a man but I wish they would stop saying 'he's one of the rare good ones'.

Unless you are both retired after many years of blissful marriage and life events like children, illness or other significant challenges, then no you have no way of knowing if he's a good one or not. Every bit of evidence about male behaviour shows how they will pretend for years to be nice, right up until marriage, until the first child, until they can convince you to stop working, until you get sick, until they retire.

Just admit you are taking a wild gamble for the sake of love, be open to women offering you support incase of a bad outcome and move on. Defending him repeatedly against the barest reminders to be safe makes everyone else worry for you.

I get mad at these characters for not being honest and vulnerable about their feelings as if I’m not the same

[corrodedcoughin]

Hello!!! How're you?? Hope you're well!! I'm currently having Munson family feelings lmao

Please imagine lil pre teen Eddie settling in with Wayne, finding his footing, becoming more open in a way that he wasn't with his father. And he's really getting into his dnd. Has the manuals Wayne got him for his birthday one year. A mini or two. And he wants to get better at DMing, but he can't practice with his group because that would ruin the surprise of it all. So one day, he shyly asks Wayne if he'll practice with him. Fidgeting with the hem of his shirt and shuffling his feet. Isn't 100% sure what Wayne will think just yet

And to his surprise, Wayne says yes. And Eddie just... lights up. Smiles a big megawatt grin and starts talking about how it'll be super fun uncle Wayne you won't regret it!!!

They spend an evening making Wayne a character - a human called Wayne, they're keeping it simple - while they eat Mac n cheese for dinner. Wayne loves how happy it makes Eddie. How carefree.

And on Wayne's next day off, when Eddie doesn't have school, they play together. A mini campaign, just for the two of them. Eddie practices his skills, gets to play dnd, and hang out with his uncle all in one go. It's kind of everything to them. It's a lighthearted adventure where Wayne goes on a quest to get the perfect bait so he can go fishing and catch his dream fish. Eddie tells him what dice to roll, helps him fight a goblin and a bear, and puts on all sorts of voices for the characters Wayne meets. Eddie gets so wrapped up in it all, so excited. But when it ends he's all nerves - bitten lips and wringing his hands.

Did Wayne like it?? Did he have fun?? Was Eddie good??

And Wayne honestly says it wasn't quite his thing but he had a lot of fun. Eddie is a damn fine storyteller, has a real knack for the dramatics. He'll impress his friends, for sure.

And idk!!! I love Eddie and Wayne exploring their dynamic and figuring out where they stand with each other those first few years. It would have been a bumpy ride but they love each other!!!

Wayne getting in from grocery shopping on a Saturday, he likes to go really early so he can avoid Sally Knowles town gossip extraordinaire who Kees letting Wayne know ‘people are gonna talk if you don’t give that nephew of yours a Mothering presence in his life’ Wayne’s heard enough of it. So while it means he has to get up early, he’ll do it to escape the song and dance of busy bodies.

He’s making his way up the trailer steps, bags of groceries in hand (he’s a one trip kind of man and won’t be changed) when he hears a voice behind the door. The muffled and rushed but excited voice of his nephew barely audible through the rustling of groceries and the clattering of god knows what in the trailer - ‘okay. Okay he’s here. Go time. Show time. Time to shine. Story telling powers on.’

Wayne can see Eddie in his minds eye, turning an invisible switch at his temple. A ritual he started for their very first session. The boy had been nervous then and now, four - games? Chapters? Wayne wasn’t sure - in the nerves were still there but the excitement far outweighed them.

Opening the door, Wayne flicked his eyes over to the couch were Eddie was propped up, books spread out on the coffee table and rudimentary map laid across the table top.

Eddie’s head shot up, ‘I’ll help!’, scrambling to his feet to take some of Wayne’s provisions off of him.

‘You in a rush, son? Normally I’m shouting you through to give me a hand with these?’ Wayne was teasing. Could see that Eddie was conflicted, had Wayne forgotten that he promised to finish the story today? That it was going to find the Pond Of Dreams? Wayne loved the kid but he wanted to have a little fun too.

Setting the bags down and putting the freezer items away, everything else could wait. Not even glancing down at Eddie, Wayne stretched tall and exaggerated ‘think I need a nap after that. Don’t mind me Ed, gonna get some shut eye.’ And the thing is he couldn’t look at Eddie, if he did he’d crumble and it would all be for naught. One glance of Eddie in his home sewn cape and it’s be over.

So he hot footed it to the bathroom, hoping Eddie wouldn’t question the pre-nap detour or the backpack he was taking with him.

He could hear Eddie mumbling, frustration and disappointment evident in his tone. Then the tv going on, cartoons on high volume as he tried to distract himself. Which is when Wayne decided to re-appear, clad in his full fishing gear and rod. Along side a toy lizard he velcroed to his shoulder.

‘Well boy, you ready to go fantasy fishing? Heard there’s a dream pond waiting to be found’ Wayne tipped his fishing hat like a cowboy as Eddie’s eyes grew wide, scanning the outfit. It wasn’t much but Wayne tried to add the little details as he could; the potion belt of healing (an ammo belt he borrowed from somebody at work), the spear character wayne earned in his first battle (a pvc tube Scott Clarke was happy to provide after their last dinner where Wayne recounted Eddie’s tales) and of course -

‘Is that Creedence?!’ Eddie finally speaking up and pointing at the lizard, the decided companion and helper to Wayne in his journey.

‘Sure is kid, think he’s ready to roll. The question is, are you?’ It’s not the easiest thing for Wayne to do, sometimes he feels silly with all the fantasy and character voices that Eddie insists upon but when it makes the boy this happy? This unguarded and free? Who is Wayne to say no? Maybe the sillyness is good for him, good for both of them.

The entire Baldur's Gate 3 cast flirts with each other constantly and then the game expects me to pick one of them, and ask that person if it's okay if I flirt with the others.

Bro, I didn't start this polycule, I just eagerly accepted. Don't get mad at me because I'm also DTF.

"Why are you loyal to him?"

"He's kinder than you think and very noble. He's a good man that randomly pulled the short straw."

[b0bs0ndugnutt]

As a Yang Stan, I think the rest of yall need to realize you really talked yourself into a ‘Yang’s self-sacrificial tendencies are going to get an arc!’ In V9, when that has always been a feature, not a bug, of Yang’s character.

Yang is always going to throw herself in front of her loved ones. But she doesnt recklessly throw herself into danger for the fun of it.

Idia, no.

Sebek is perfect the way he is. And so happy! Let him gush over Waka-sama.

Writing this fic that combines quinfox and jangobi is very funny because... quinfox is the main ship, but also it's pre-relationship, so it's more about the awkward friendship and trauma and personal growth and different childhoods. All the while jangobi are just. Living their romance novel in space in the background.

Like, seriously. It's so funny to re-read what I wrote. We have sparring as flirting, love+lust at first sight, stalking (jango, no), fuck buddies with mutual pining, then, obviously, kids thrown into the mix.

But it's all background because actually let's talk about putting your oxygen mask on first, Fox (and Quinlan).

i'm gonna keep it real with you guys i really cannot with this director

[inhaledpie4]

Lol why do all the trad hoes on here always have borderline personality disorder or autism? This how you cope with being an overly dependant child who does nothing but cry hysterically all day?

I think you'll find that this is predominantly a neurodivergent social media platform. It should not be surprising to you that not only are all the "trad hoes" neurodivergent, but literally everyone else on this hellsite is, too.

[lord-squiggletits]

Tbh the more darkfic I read and write the less seriously I can take discourse/fan wank about how "problematic" something is. Guarantee that for any oh so "fucked up" piece of media out there, fans could and have written worse. Sometimes the fans who have written worse are the ones doing the discoursing and that's the silliest of all.
