#and his drinking problem

[verday]

It was so important to me that Stolas was able to be sad throughout the entire episode. Usually media likes to rush a character's grief/depression/sadness. Like "Stop moping around" or "get over it already." Depression doesn't just go away. It is a persistent feeling of sadness.

His depression was also presented through various emotions/emotional states.

Lethargy

Crying

Anger / frustration

Self-blame

Not wanting company and being emotionally drained and unable to reciprocate

We even see him Smiling / Laughing which is so important because we see that he is still in there behind the sadness and tears. His laugh is not as lively as it once but he is still capable of smiling and finding joy.

His problems weren't fix in the end and his sadness didn't go away even if he has someone who loves him by his side (and even if he loves him too). And I think this is one of the best depictions I have seen of a depressed character in media in a long time.

the real question is does he become drunk when there is alcohol in the blood

It's crazy what he gets away with (and who the ones letting him get away with it are)

Bruce: What Nightwing did might have been... unconventional, but it worked.

Tim: Exactly. I mean, sure, the plan might have involved hacking into Gotham’s power grid, a few strategic distractions, and, uh, some minor illegal surveillance-

Barbara: MINOR? DISTRUBANCES??

Tim: Okay, fine! The plan also had a teensy bit of hacking into the stock market, manipulating a few politicians, and borrowing a couple confidential documents, but nobody was harmed!

Bruce: ...In the strictest sense.

Tim: Yes! See, it's a win-win solution!

Barbara: *furious* You two are insane. You’re treating morally ambiguous like it’s a fun new hobby. He practically engineered an escape from a high-security prison by tricking the entire staff into thinking it was game night. In addition, he orchestrated a city-wide blackout just to steal classified documents, and you’re calling it genius?

Bruce: Very resourceful.

Tim: I mean... it’s not his fault they didn’t know how to play Dungeons & Dragons. Also, I want to see who else could pull off a high-profile heist while simultaneously launching a PR campaign for a new tech startup!

Bruce: *to Tim* Wayne Enterprise's tech gadgets cleared the shelves, we need to speed up production.

Tim: Already on it.

Barbara: You’re defending this? That’s not genius, that’s a psychotic breakdown wrapped in a cape! It's madness layered up in a three-piece suit!

Bruce and Tim: It’s Dick.

Barbara: I swear, if it was anyone else, you’d be throwing them in a cell for years.

Bruce and Tim: It’s Nightwing. He has plausible deniability.

Barbara: Plausible? I think he has a whole separate universe of deniability!

I think one of the most realistic parts about Baby Reindeer (2024) is how much Donny downplays the abuse he faces

I know everyone wants to hate on him for being “stupid” and blame him for everything that happened because yes from an outsiders perspective he made questionable choices but isn’t that what HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DO?

I know so many people who’ve “played nice” or tried to downplay abusive behavior. You try and tell yourself “It wasn’t that bad”, or that it was just some crazy experience that should be forgotten. It seems so much easier to stay silent and just try to move on.

You don’t wanna start problems

You don’t wanna be mean

You don’t wanna be the bad guy

aftg au where bee adopted andrew and later aaron when they were teens. she owns an apple orchard that the twins and occasionally a few of the foxes help run but it's almost harvest season and she needs help prepping everything for the town's fall festivals so she decided to put up a help wanted ad. neil, tired, alone, and running out of options, decides to apply. bee let's him use the renovated barn loft as residence when she learns he's homeless. andrew is wary, his family means everything to him and neil is a flightly little thing that could only bring bad news, but something about neil is familiar. maybe it's how he checks all his exits or how he flinches when people touch him or how he cradles the key bee gave him in his palm like it was a treasure instead of a piece of metal. he asks neil for truths and it's like bleeding a rock but he finds neil is more willing when truth is reciprocated. they spend their days walking down the lines of apple trees, harvesting and talking, and andrew is only a little mesmerized with the way neil's auburn curls blend with the red of the apples and his eyes match the sky like something deliberate, like he was meant to be here. andrew thinks that maybe he doesn't hate how neil looks at him like he's worth something. andrew thinks that maybe he doesn't want to lose this. he's still learning how to accept that not everything is transactional, he doesn't need to make deals to keep people close, hes still figuring out how to want things without the fear of them being snatched away. his mind screams at him to turn away and push any feeling aside but then neil is handing him an apple and smiling and telling him stories he says he's never told anyone else and andrew doesn't think he deserves this but he wants it

Rook: I'm really worried about Davrin and Lucanis, they keep arguing with one another... Its very bad Varric, what if it effects them in battle?

Varric, remembering that one time Fenris broke Ander's nose then took a knife in the back for him in the same night: I'm sure they'll be fine kid. They're barely even arguing if you ask me

[this-world-of-beautiful-monsters]

what if you grew up in a household riven with grudging servitude and substance abuse and boredom and so you ran as far away from it as possible but you inherited the addictions anyway and so you fell into the arms of two creatures who had all your parents' poisons mixed up inside them. what if they gathered you close and passed their own addictions onto you like blessings. what if you were a bandaid for a shitty marriage and your fathers' son to the core and you were going to carry their appetites with you until the world turned to dust.

Aegon II is for the dumb people (me) because this is actual representation of me trying to speak my country's other official language that I've been studying at school for nearly 10 years

[thefallenangel2008]

You know what I did at school today for that 1 hour I was there instead of paying attention to a video? I thought about Gravity Falls. About Stan, to be exact. And I came up with an AU cause yes, and y'all gonna love it (I'm delulu).

An AU where Stan finds a job in a library. You know how libraries give out food to homeless people? What if Stan while he was homeless went to a library to get some food, and idk, ig he met the owner, a sweet old lady, and they talked, Stan vented a little to her, she comforted him, and badabim badaboom, she gave him a job there. It didn't pay that much but it was a stable job and if he didn't spend his money on drinking and gambling, he would be able to buy a small apartment in a couple of months (but bad habits die hard, yk?)

The owner, whom I'm gonna call Miss Green, would see Stan's car parked somewhere near the library, and see Stan sleeping inside it. She would feel bad for him, a young man like him living such a life. I imagine their relationship being: "Hello dearie, you see, I have some of my son's old clothes still in my house and they take up such space in the closet, why don't you have them? :)" "Oh honey, you look so tired, did you sleep last night? Have you eaten anything today? :(" "You seem to really like this book. You can have it. ^ ^" "Oh, you like this dress dearie? *pulls out her wallet*" Basically her being a parental figure to Stan. And Stan being protective of her because she's the only person who has shown genuine interest and kindness in him in years. He would soooo take advantage of his scary dog privileges. You're being loud in the library? He's gonna walk towards you, give you a glare and put a finger infront of his lips to tell you to shut tf up. You're being rude to Miss Green? God save you man because BOY, he's about to throw hands.

And do you know what would be funny? If Miss Green was a siren. For no real reason, just for shits and giggles. No, no, she doesn't seduce humans anymore, she's an old woman now, she's been in retirement for years and now lives far away from the ocean, deep in the city. But they would bond with eachother while talking about the ocean and such. Stan yapping about the facts his knows about the ocean and Miss Green just silently listening to him and thinking "wow, such a talkative boy, and he sure knows a lot about sea life. :)"

So basically Stan getting unofficially adopted in a similar way as to how he unofficially adopted Soos in canon.

I just realized that once the community center is complete Shane literally has no where to work and has no money so I assume he struggles to pay Marnie (the wiki says there's a dialogue saying he rents his room)and what money he does have he probably sinks it all into his drinking habit. It makes me so sad bro. Like down with joja and all but like literally what's the man gonna do now. I wish he would maybe work for Gus and help out, maybe help the player with the farm, help Marnie with her animals, help robin build, or even help Pierre in his store. Like it makes me so sad to imagine how devastated he probably is when he finally gets let off because joja is done.

I HEAD CANNON AFTER A LONG NIGHT OF DRINKING WHEN HE WAKES UP EARLY IN THE MORNING HE FORGETS JOJA IS GONE SO HE GETS READY FOR WORKS AND HEADS THAT WAY BUT WHEN HE STANDS IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING AND IT DAWNS ON HIM HE JUST SITS THERE AND CRIES UNTIL THE SALOON OPENS UP. Thanks for coming to my yap session.
