#also as a side note

[sorio99]

Knowing “Nerdy Prudes Must Die” was the first idea the Lang brothers had for Hatchetfield makes the whole series so much funnier.

Like, did they know in “The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” that the weirdo who demanded a hot chocolate would be the leading man of the high school horror show?

Did they know the prude they mentioned a few times would be a homophobic murderer who defiled a corpse, fucked a ghost, and became a vessel for dark lords?

Was the homeless man joke in BEFORE the recast because they were still brothers, or not?

You, I, and the Wall (Azul, Jade, and Floyd x Yuu)

You lie on the ground taking deep breaths, searching around you for three objects you can name while you try to force your ears to tune into the noises around you. The three boys surrounding you look concerned, almost like you're crying but you can't really bring yourself to care right now. It's not like they care anyway, you think; an upset person is just inconvenient to deal with.

"It's my fault." You try to reassure them with a shaky breath. "I'm the one who made the mistake of feeling safe."

notes: they/them pronouns used for Yuu, heavy angst, SPOILERS FOR CH. 4, specifically how Jamil's UM might make someone feel (as in not good, forcing someone to do stuff they do not want to is not nice). If you like this please check out my masterlist here (x)

Floyd

"I bet you'd rather be talkin to Crabby right now, huh?" Floyd almost sounds self depreciating, there's a haze of tears clouding your judgment that makes him feel a bit safer in his vulnerability. "Sorry I'm all that's here right now." He makes sure to stay just far enough from you that you don't feel like he's crowding your personal space, but close enough that there's a barrier between you and the door the Scarabia students fled through. If those guppies thought there was any sort of excuse for putting you into this state he would accept, well there wasn't. If they thought he had forgotten their faces they had a gigantic storm coming, but he needed to make sure you were alright first. Hurricane's can't start until the eye is calm.

"I tried calling Ace, he didn't answer." Your voice sounds so unlike you, weak and tired. "Same with Deuce."

"Ha, dunno about Mackey but Crabby's definitely scratching at the walls if you told him you're in trouble." He means it, and he hates how he knows it will calm you down. Floyd doesn't like the sidelines, that's where Jade thrives, not him. Being jealous that Ace is calming you down even though he's not here is petty and kind of pathetic. But he can't help it, the way he moves and looks is scary, but surely if he looks at you long enough you'll realize-

"You ain't gotta believe me now," he mumbles to himself, slowly shuffling closer to you, satisfying his urge to squeeze by pinching your cheek, "already knew I was gonna have to work on that, but I don't ever want to see you like this again." Finally you look at him instead of away; you are confused and tired but finally comfortable enough to let your exhaustion put you to sleep. He used to think he loved every face you could make, and he can't say he never wants to see you scared because of how cute you look spooked, but this, this wasn't fun. You'll just have to let him be the only one to scare you from here on out, he thinks, gently picking you up off the ground to take you somewhere more comfortable.

Jade

To be fair, Jade had expected you to try hitting him a lot sooner than this. He also had to admit it was extremely... lovely of you to have enough control over yourself to stop just before landing the blow.

"No fighting in the lounge, that's the rule right?" Your entire body is tense, even as you retract the fist and retreat into yourself, away from the table, away from him. Azul laughs awkwardly while pushing forward in discussing the Scarabia situation, but Jade keeps his eyes on you.

"Of course for a magicless person like yourself there would be no way to resist being hypnotized. Really someone could have given you whatever orders they wanted to and ordered you not to remember-"

In hindsight maybe, compared to some of the other observations he has voiced out loud, that one was a touch harsh.

"I am quite sorry if I caused offense." He says. Still tense, you take in a deep shuddering breath, winding up for something. His hands fold contentedly, wondering if you will try to hit him again. Given his comments, he doesn't mind letting you.

"Fuck off." You sound so small you want to die but the shock that unwinds on his face is somewhat satisfying. He wonders, as you try to walk away again, just how it would feel to be powerless to say no. To be small and alone in a world you don't belong in, forced to do something by someone against your will and then made fun of by someone strikingly similar for not being able to protect yourself.

It's an ugly thought, but he wonders if anyone has ever made you feel this small before, if he is making you feel that small now.

"I did not say what I did to mock you." Jade is surprised by the strength of his conviction, and how little he thinks to blame you if you choose not to forgive him. "If the thought of that person's magic scares you, please stay close to Floyd. He will be able to keep you safe." To his great relief some tension leaves your shoulders, and he dares to risk a step forward. "I should hope this goes without saying, but what happened to you was not your fault, nor was it acceptable."

"You trying to say Octavinelle has a monopoly on exploiting me?" There's an edge to the question that will take time to dull, but your ire seems less pointed at him now.

"I'm suggesting you simply look at our involvement as a form of revenge." He means it, though he knows you are in no position to tell just yet. That's quite alright, he knows himself. He can wait.

Azul

"Please wait!" Azul is surprised you don't break into a sprint, but then you don't slow down or stop either, stubbornly insistent on moving towards Ramshackle Dorm. You allow him to walk next to you, ignoring the huffs of stress in his breath.

"What do you want Azul?" No no no this is all wrong, you compliment his efforts after seeing him at his worst and now you're icing him out? Sure, he knew entertaining the idea you could be friends, genuine ones, was too good to be true but seeing it go up in foam in front of him was still painful.

"What did you mean feeling safe was a mistake?" He knows Jamil, in theory anyway, they're in a complicated place right now. Or maybe always but that's besides the point. There was a reason behind all of this he is sure you will likely find sympathetic enough to forgive, but if you are in this much pain why should you? Not that he has a say in it, but why should he let you?

"What do you want Azul?" You just repeat yourself, nails digging into the palms of your hand in a way that looks so painful he can't stop himself from reaching to pull them towards him. It keeps you from running the next couple feet to the mirror, both of you forced to look at the bleeding dents in your palms in a mixture of shame and remorse. He's too distressed to express himself, moving to firmly hold both of your hands with one of his while the other searches for his magic pen. 'What do yo-"

"A chance." Magic soothes the pain as Azul works to close the admittedly tiny wounds with the same determined focus he shows his studies. "All I have ever wanted is a chance." He doesn't say at what, you get a feeling he doesn't really know what he is asking for right now himself. But with how he refuses to mention payment as he puts away his magic pen, just continues to hold you in place, you think you could maybe eventually understand.

"I'll give you one." You swallow hoarsely, taking away your hands from his as he tries to pretending he didn't memorize their warmth.

"It's a deal then," he means that as a joke you think, but there's a bit of his normal showmanship and pride you find oddly comforting now "I promise you, one is all I'll need."

very quickly: the expectation that jgy needs to be some kind of working class hero is :/ to begin with, and condemning him for “buying into the system of oppression” is really telling when that’s not a criticism made of anyone else

but the idea that jgy personally is refusing to use his power to uplift the common people is mind bogglingly dumb

i cannot emphasize enough that his primary project for the last decade has been trying to figure out how to get all of the other sects to do their fucking jobs—the jobs they were supposed to have been doing the whole time—so that poor people are less likely to be fucking murdered by monsters.

a concept, if you recall, that was so controversial, nobody questioned that a guy would kill his political opponent’s child over it.

this society balked at “do the jobs you signed up to do,” but it’s somehow jgy’s fault that change is going so slowly? fellas he’s the only one doing anything.

[prideprejudce]

the whole ariana grande and ethan slater mess just proves my ongoing theory that even though everyone assumes that it’s attractive men you have to worry about trusting in relationships - in reality it’s the medium ugly ones that you have to really look out for. medium ugly men will live with you, marry you, have a baby with you, and then as soon as another woman throws him even a crumb of positive attention will gladly drop you like a hot potato with zero remorse or second thoughts

Hello and welcome to Kacie Reread ‘A Lonely Place of Dying’ And Is Making It Everyone’s Problem

Over the course of five issues, those being Batman #440-442 and the New Titans #60-61, I could discuss any number of things. Did Tim call in the tip on the Ravager to Gordon, or was it somebody else? Did Dick backpack to Haly’s Circus, or did he take a bus? How far did Tim go on his little bike? How is it possible for Jack Drake to be so obnoxious that I already hate him, even though he was only on maybe two pages? A lot of things to discuss.

Instead of any of those, I’m going to share my favourite Tims.

Batman #440

This is Tim’s photo collection. I can’t imagine it’s all of it, that would be unlikely from something we learn later, but this is a glimpse. This is most likely why people started the headcanon that Tim stalked Batman and Robin. While most of his pictures are clearly newspaper clippings, some of them aren’t, and some of the ones that aren’t are also candids. While not foolproof evidence for that theory, I think this is foolproof evidence that Tim is weird. He has framed pictures on his nightstand.

The New Titans #60

This is the cover. That shadowy figure is Tim. I just think it’s kind of funny.

The New Titans #60

See his liddol face? His liddol hand?? He peek, it’s so cute. Yes he is hiding behind a dumpster, that matters little.

The New Titans #60

I think he’s really cute here. “Sorry, I can’t leave. I’ve got things to do.” Adorable. And his leapfrog? Perfect form, 10/10.

The New Titans #60

These are all from the same page. I just wanted to put them here to highlight my favourite aspect of Tim: he’s smol. So tiny, I swear, how did he get so itty-bitty?

Batman #441

I just really like this panel. Tim’s nonchalance, Dick’s face now that someone else has to deal with the weird stalker kid too, Alfred’s reaction. Perfect. The perfect panel.

Batman #441

“I’m not twelve, I’m thirteen” He’s a baby. I call this one Piano Tim, because I think he’s adorable.

Batman #441

I just wanted this one here to highlight the height difference between Alfred and Tim. Alfred is leaning down in this frame. Tim is so tiny.

Batman #441 I like Tim’s increasingly manic smile. And poor Dick looks so lost.

The New Titans #61 More tiny Tim and Alfred.

Batman #442

I just think his pose is really cute, sue me

Batman #442

Tim next to Batman is the height (badum-tssh) of comedy. He barely goes up to Bruce’s shoulder!

Batman #442

All of these are added because of his little smile, I love his expressions. His goofy grin! He is so tiny! Also, Bruce pouting is always funny

[gojonanami]

now hear me out. pls.

singer reader with guitarist suguru. or reversed and readers the mysterious but hot guitarist

ok i love this - because like almost any girlie i feel like, i harbor a secret desire to be a singer (completely unrealistic) haha - but also suguru as a guitarist is...so hot...his fingers playing the guitar, i can imagine him in a short sleeve black shirt that clings to him from the sweat of being on stage and playing, his arms tatted up --

*sighs, adds to list*

[robin-in-thewoods]

It's moomin time!

This is actually the concequence of my au-ish story idea brainrot. It follows moomintroll's journey through some epic piracy.

I may even do a mini comic. YES. I'm down THAT bad.

[mintcrows]

people who say they dont trust the emperor are so interesting, because weirdly thats something you can do, you can trust it and it will not betray you

[hellcifrogs]

What do you think About a Sanin swap? Naruto trained by Orochimaru, Sasuke being a medic trained by Tsunade, and Sakura Trained by Jiraiya? Also as a side note, Your art style is Incredible!

Do you mean THE sannin swap au? :9 bc I think, if you like the NaruFox, you should be grateful it exists and check it out if you haven't. It was one of my main inspirations to post my own au~

[brsb4hls]

Mobius is so casual about weaponizing Loki now. He seems almost annoyed, when Loki draws it out and 'plays' a bit. He's like 'clear the path already'.

I really want Loki to go full on bat shit with his magic on his own accord and Mobius being completely stunned, just once.

To balance that dynamic.

Because out on the timeline, Loki is way more powerful and not at all 'a little pussycat'.

Drew both mine and Magodesu’s Fire-type MEIKO designs. I think it’s a nice contrast.

[cattyanon]

@the-sky-queen I knew I had to draw him the moment I heard about the idea.

He's very uncomfortable with his body...

Slightly altered version under cut:

[saline-coelacanth]

So I was rewatching The Island today and while I was watching it, my brain starting doing it's thing where it comes up with an idea and then I am burdened with the struggle of whether or not to make a new au

So pretty much while I was watching, my brain just went "Hey, what if like... when they sacrificed Jay, they actually DID sacrifice him to the spirit of Wojira instead of it being a con run by Ronin and then like... Jay got possessed or something. Wouldn't that be neat?"

Which on one hand, yes brain, that would be neat, but on the other hand I don't wanna get invested in a new au when I already have 10 billion of them

[bloodiegawz]

Dia is giving Bo the blanket and soup he DESERVES!!!!
