I am once again being completely normal about girl genius as I contemplate modern au OT3.
Because, like, okay, I think in a modern setting both Agatha and Tarvek would be relatively functional human beings on the surface by the time they meet in college but I’m confident that Gil is still a batshit insane person. He’s a feral little boy who never quite grew out of his biting people phase as a kid. He has a baby face and he can bench press a whole person with no problem. He juggles his teacups and has stayed in lab rooms overnight so much that he knows all of the janitors and campus police by name. He doesn’t even turn the lights on anymore??? They auto turn off and he just lets them and keeps working in pitch blackness. And because I’m me, of course he’s pinballing between sexuality crises like it’s a sport. If you walk into the science building past 11 pm there’s like an 80% chance you’ll come across him drinking his tenth cup of tea and he’ll just monologue at you about the nature of love.
All of this to say, I think Agatha and Tarvek would get together first and then like a week in Agatha would be like, “So… Gil, huh?” And Tarvek would be like, “Oh thank god I’m not the only one suffering like this.”

Love Norman so much. Heavy Rain was a trip to play the first time (affectionate). Can’t get over the combined hilarity and realism of the scene if you get the Under Arrest path where Norman is flipping out because the local police are literally brutalizing Ethan in interrogation to get him to confess and he tries to intervene and Blake puts a gun in his face so he storms over to the chief’s office and is like “YOUR LIEUTENANT IS TRYING TO BEAT A CONFESSION OUT OF MARS!!!” & the chief goes “ :33 yeah, so? Who cares he’s clearly guilty,” and Norman absolutely loses his mind and goes into his shitty little office and throws a chair because he hates it here so much and the police are fucking insane and terrible and every time he tries to follow the law he gets threatened by them or attacked, & then he calms down & goes “Ok u know what fuck you too I guess >:[ “ and straight up breaks a serial killing prime suspect out of the police station single handed because there’s just no other way to keep him from being beaten to death or false confession in a cell and also he thinks he didn’t do it probably or at least if he did that he’s telling the truth about being not in his right mind & can help, and the whole time poor Mars is so straight up out of it he doesn’t even know what the fucks going on and he’s just like ??? as he’s getting shepherded out fo the station by this fed that just had a fist fight 18 minutes ago with a cop in front of him, and he’s just like *so moved & so confused* “thank you?” & Jayden’s like ‘yeah sure thing; start running & don’t stop’ (I’m gonna lose my job 😬 ) and after that determinately Ethan doesn’t see Norman again once until the finale of the game when he’s one second away from being shot in the back until this same fed who literally busted him out of police lockup comes out of god damn nowhere to body slam the Origami Killer off him and chase them off screaming anyway Heavy Rain’s a fantastic game

this isnt what I imagined the climate collapse to look like, but I also did not imagine a worldwide pandemic to look like this either

why do i keep seeing "trad wife" accounts talking about being happy picking up your husband's socks because he could be (1) dead or (2) cheating on you, and instead he's just leaving all his shit on the floor?
absolutely i'd rather be alone than have a husband who cant function like a human being and makes you clean up after him like you’re his mommy. that is infinitely preferable lol

So, so far, Clint Barton has adopted
the actual super-villain Scarlet Witch, who is suffering from depression, but still needs to be protective at all costs and at all times despite being the strongest Avenger because she is more of a puppy than human.
a Black Widow with unmatched sense of fashion, who still actively practices murder as a profession and can snap someone in half upon thought, but is able to function as an adult woman.
and a hyper-thinking 22 yo kid that manages to get herself into shit with the Mob and is a-bit-too-happy to shoot explosive/acidic/way-too-dangerous technology at people and is always banged up and uncomfortably bruised, after every run in with the day's villain.
(plus a kickass deaf woman, who is the only one able to take Yelena's punches in the ring, aka the only one holding every braincell in this group of people, but who still manages to be corrupted by Kate Bishop into chaotic shit across town)
Which basically translates to; Clint gets midnight calls from Yelena to learn that Kate was barely saved - from exploding herself, by Wanda casting a spell, from their shared apartment's kitchen floor, on the other side of the city, to put out the Tracksuit Bro's missed bomb.
Kate buys Wanda thank-you pancakes on the way home, but Yelena ends up eating them. She ghosts Clint's voicemails for the rest of the night and passes out on the couch with Maya and the dogs.

Something something in s2ep8 Guillermo left the house to go after the (false) promise of being turned into a vampire, the one thing he thinks he needs to finally be happy; but what he really needed was to be respected by Nandor. Something something in s3ep8 Nandor left the house to go after the (false) promise of being turned into a human, the one thing he thinks he needs to finally be saved from his loneliness; but what he really needs is to be loved by Guillermo.
