#and I don’t think I’m succeeding

[sassyshoulderangel319]

I love how fan artists always draw Tango as a cool, smirking, genius schemer with fire for hair and an explosive rage

And then you watch like any of Tango’s videos or streams and he’s got the dry sarcastic wit sure

But he’s also a dorky nerd who says silly words like skadoodle and moonswoggled and then giggles

Why are y’all surprised that borderline capitalists and liberals like Hobie when they hate leftists, especially black leftists, irl 💀

Real people saying these things make them think and feel guilty, when a real person says we cannot thrive or make significant change by utilizing systems stacked against said change, they have to think about their own lifestyles and ideals. When a real person says violence is the answer and money needs to become meaningless, all they think is “but I could get hurt or in trouble” and “but I’ll never be rich”.

When Hobie says it it’s just a character being entertaining. There’s a bit of truth but you don’t take it seriously because you don’t have to. It’s the same way they’re fine with saying ACAB posts and reading books on anti-racism but can’t muster up the courage to tell their friend to stop saying the n word. It’s all cute till it’s you irl, so ppl who know leftists irl and don’t like them will love hobie. It feels like KNOWING Hobie maybe kinda sorta has a point is enough to negate the idea that their complicity in these systems irl is actually harmful.

It’s like that thing where ppl do bad things and think knowing it’s bad is the same as being apologetic and changing or deserving forgiveness.

Like in conclusion, it’s easy to like Hobie when you’re not face to face with someone like him and you’re not expected to do any work. It’s the same thing as yt ppl liking the Medea movies. God forbid a black person is actually loud in public but it’s fine when they’re doing their little jigs just for you.

“Peter Lukas gets sent back to the regency era” “Jonathan Sims gets sent back to the regency era” valid points valid points but i raise you

Tim Stoker gets sent back to the regency era

[ladytauria]

Fandom: Batman

Pairing: Tim Drake/Jason Todd

Rating: Mature

Words: 2k

Confined in a small space, with no way to get out, would be bad enough... but on top of that, Jason's got to piss, too. Lucky for him, his boyfriend doesn't mind.

i’ve been wanting to try writing some new kinks / scenarios so the other day i took a break from my big fic to write this <3

it didn’t quite scratch the itch i wanted it to but! it was interesting / diff to write. i hope you enjoy!

>> AO3 <<

Jason swears under his breath. His bladder aches. He shifts his weight from foot to foot, but it does nothing to relieve the pressure.

Fuck. He’s had to go since before Tim and he got nabbed, and now? The urge is almost unbearable, and there's nothing he can do about it. He’s stuck, trapped with Tim, in stupid fucking box too small to even turn around in.

At least the pain of it distracts him from the panic.

Rescue is coming, he tells himself. Any minute now, the others could come busting the door down—or the criminals could come back, give them the opportunity to escape.

“Are you hurt?” Tim’s voice is low and concerned. His hands travel over Jason’s torso, performing an injury check as best as he can through the armor.

Jason doesn’t even think about lying, no matter how embarrassed he is. He shakes his head. “N-no, just… I— I gotta piss.” He starts out whispering, but by the end… he might as well not be speaking at all, for how quiet he is.

“Oh.” The simple surprise in Tim’s voice makes heat crawl up the back of Jason’s neck. He squirms.

Tim tucks a strand of hair behind Jason’s ear. When he speaks again, his voice is full of warmth. “It’s okay. You can… It’s just us. You can go, if you need to. I won’t think less of you.”

Jason’s blush climbs to his face. It burns so hot, so brightly he’s almost surprised it doesn’t light up the dark around them.

“I… Tim.”

Tim doesn’t scold him about names. He cradles Jason’s cheek in his palm. His glove is gone; bare, callused skin cool against Jason’s heated face. The relief of it—the comfort of it…

Jason exhales slowly, leaning into it.

“I know, I know.” Tim’s thumb moves in slow, sweeping strokes over Jason’s cheek. “Will… Will you give me a color, baby?”

Jason’s breath catches. There was a time when he would have said ‘green’ immediately, but now… He takes a moment to check in with his body, his thoughts, his emotions.

When they’d started to get more kinky, more serious— Tim had printed off a list for them to go through, separately and then together. Watersports… Jason had ultimately given it a maybe. They hadn’t spent a lot of time discussing it beyond Tim promising not to spring it on him unexpectedly.

This…

Well. This is about as unexpected as it gets, but Jason’s not going to blame Tim for it. No— He… he appreciates the offer. The ability to turn the decision, the control over to Tim…

It relaxes something in him.

“...green, sir,” he whispers.

Ok wait now I feel bad because I referenced the furniture polish story without specifying that it was a suicide attempt 😭

wouldn’t it be funny if the reason i got sent to hell was making fun of billy joel drinking furniture polish as a suicide attempt

*knowing full well that any future prospect would be a Fab Four breed bc I don’t want to spend four years working through things before actually getting somewhere// potentially not being the right fit*

But my heart yearns for border collies

i have such a huge friend crush on you!! So quick question about sea glass gardens:

since the reveal of gojo having adopted kids, the fact is kind of just accepted by the students and reinforced by the adults. But how do gojo’s kids view him? I may not have translated it properly but it seems tsumiki may either reject this notion entirely or is at the very least on the fence and sees gojo less as dad and more like… imposed guardian? How does megumi view gojo in the sea-glass-verse?

latest chapter is *chef’s kiss* btw and i wish i could meet you and pull a shoko and pick your brain apart. Idk how you come up with this, not to mention all of the fucking LORE behind it. While juggling adulthood? Like wtf? I cant even chew gum and walk at the same time.

we can be friends, beautiful internet stranger

devastatingly I cannot answer your question, but only because you’ve locked into something that’s going to be super explicitly discussed in the fic soon. If I include/explain something in an answer, it’s because the fic is not going to be any more explicit on the matter than it already is. If you’re interested in a broader/directors cut answer after it is addressed in the fic, I’d be super down to answer then.

I love this kid but I honestly don’t think he himself knows what he’d do if he actually did succeed in catching dark. I don’t know if he even knows exactly what he wants himself in his success. I know what he hopes to happen; he hopes to be rid of Krad by containing the ‘black wings’ properly. But in capturing dark he also must capture Niwa, and in stripping Niwa of dark he is stripping Niwa of an aspect of himself and Satoshi… I don’t think he can do that to him. I also genuinely don’t think he wants to fuse the two back into one artwork or if he could at this point since they have been separated for so long and influenced by the two bloodlines. And if they did fuse back into one, satoshi has no idea what he’s going to DO with the artwork. It’s not like an art piece can be tried as a criminal mastermind. And he does like Niwa! He does! He just also knows everyone around him meets a dark fate ( Krad ) and he can’t let anyone else get hurt. I also think a part of him knows already that even if he does succeed in getting Dark, then he’d have to face the fact that Krad isn’t actually going anywhere still.

Not that this is exactly a risky conjecture, but your fic tells me you have strong feelings about inequity and community based on personal experience (and maybe a little bit of wishfulness). Also I associate you with the feeling "fierce joy."

Funny, I associate YOU with joy too. 🥰 But yep, spot on. I have big feelings about everything (though I actually don’t cry very often) and a lot of what happens in BB is based on personal experience. Only with softer and kinder outcomes. More wishful, exactly like you said.

Hnnng volleyball painful

[quietwingsinthesky]

thinking about cain and him living alone for centuries(? when did his wife die) after slaughtering the knights of hell. forever after choosing not to do harm or fix things. to just. exist. alone. cooking for himself despite the fact he doesn’t need to eat and keeping his house tidy and tending to bees that would not choose to stay there unless he cared for them very well. and it is driving me. insane.

genuinely i don’t know how someone could meet a kid and decide children are horrid monsters actually. kids are so good

[ezramire]

is it possible john wiped alecto’s memory before locking her in the tomb? thinking about “empty is the same as clean”. would explain why nona is so out of it

[deancaskiss]

sometimes I am hit with a wave of ‘how does anyone like my writing?’ because I’ll look at my boring bland basic flat fics and look at the beauty and melody of some else’s details and descriptions and emotions that are leaps and bounds more beautiful than anything I could ever write no matter how hard I try and I wonder why I even do what I do because how could I ever compare? and I just feel really unworthy like I do not see a single good thing about the things I write

[obstinaterixatrix]

actually a while ago I was talking to a pal and I think it was about how we don’t like being affirmed in specific ways, e.g. who we are (eh) vs what we do (yeah). I like the more neutral/objective stance & framing. evidence-based. minimum amount of emotions and positivity involved.
