So one thing I like about Time is that he will talk about his life and journeys
He talks about it! He'll tell the boys stories and answer questions. (...when asked)
Obviously he tells his family- Malon knows everything
But he has also never held back from telling the boys stories or answering questions
I'm still always cackling over him telling them about gerudo town- he is way too proud to brag about being a mischievous gremlin
"I proved to be a greater thief than all of ganons tribe"- oh yeah. He's definitely the good influence. (That's sarcasm, Wars is the one good example for the younger ones.)
He just. He looks so smug to tell them about his experiences with the Gerudo- I love how often we see him just talking to them and answering questions about his life.
Even if it's clearly painful memories- he has still always told them
*sobs*
Obviously Time talks to Twilight the most about stuff- and everyone knows that (to where Sky went to him for questions about Time)
But the thing that get me the most is Wind.
Wind asked about... everything! Wind asked about his first journey and his life- and Time told him
The sheer transition from
"I was wondering... about your original journey"
To
"You told me about your original journey. Everything you said... the sages you described, the old traditions, the old stories- all of it! ...)
And this literally drives me insane because Time told him- Time told him everything! He told him about the sages, traditions- Time literally openly talked to Wind about his first Journey because he asked.
The Hero of Time's story had always been a tragedy- I mean... yikes. Trauma much? But I think people overlook this part of him- that he's older. All the hurt and scars are still there, but he has learned to talk about it to deal with it. And I think I know why- (Read)
Malon Malon Malon Malon!!! Jojo showed this set up for their marriage- Time was and is traumatized. But he and Malon worked to talk through things. I mean. Can you imagine keeping secrets from Malon? I don't want to. I feel like she would throw a cow at me. Anyways.
It takes a lot to work through trauma and learn to talk through it. Malon claimed him tho, so I don't think he had a choice. But seriously- she helped him work through things as family. Which led to a successful marriage for both of them, and got Time to where he can talk about these things with the boys :D
But
Time is a troll, so although he will share his insane life stories.... he will also say he fought the moon with no more context, and tell his wife that they have a descendant but not freaking tell her which one it is.
He's so insane I love it <3
Just don't forget this part of him... don't forget that rather it's sad or goofy or whatever- he will talk about his life. If someone simply asks
:)

it’s so strange to me when people say steve probably has the “least” trauma out of the group. like steve…the guy who was quite literally tortured by russian soldiers and drugged by them in the same day ??? steve…who was nearly beaten to death by billy hargrove ??? steve…who was dragged into the upside down alone, almost choked to death and eaten alive by demobats ??? steve…the guy who had a girl die in his own backyard and who’s pool is a constant reminder of that ??? steve…who’s been consistently alluded to having an asshole for a dad and likely absent parents ??? even if those last two aren’t technically canon what about the other three ???? that man’s been through it. least trauma my ass.

Thinking about a Jedi Maul AU where Palpatine decides to send him out too early to hopefully Kill Some Jedi and he ultimately picks possibly the worst target imaginable in going after Mace Windu. Both because Mace is inarguably the best swordsman of the Order and just not menaced at all and also because he's way too tired for a feral teenager bouncing off him with seemingly never-ending energy to continually try to kill him. And so Mace kind of picks him up by the scruff of the neck and carts him off to the Order like "Um. Evil child. Help" but at this point Maul has imprinted on him with some really warped form of respect and so. Mace ends up with a fucked up little padawan who's more domesticated than really redeemed. But if the results are the same, who really needs to know

OBVIOUSLY i care abt chainshipping deeply and i believe something quite lgbt happened to those men in that bathroom. BUT if im being so honest, if i put down my gay delusion for a moment, i think that Lawrence would do absolutely everything in his power to get Alison back before he would ever let himself think about Adam in anyway even remotely romantic.
and like the keyword here is 'let' right, like those thoughts would for sure creep in, but i think he would ignore them as best he could at first. i mean he's married, and not only is he married, but he just spent hours trapped in a bathroom thinking about how much he does actually love his wife and how much he took her for granted. thats why he cut off his leg so that he could try to save her and his daughter. on top of that, if he was committed enough to decide not to go through with cheating on her BEFORE the bathroom trap, why on earth would he just let her go afterwards.
i do think that Alison left him after everything. i think that even before Lawrence gets all weird and creepy (said affectionately) from working with Jigsaw, that she would leave him. she clearly wasnt happy before any of this happened, and when she and Diana needed him the most he failed to protect them.
but i dont for a second think that Lawrence just accepts that. i think he would try, and fail, to convince Alison to stay and that he loves her and that he's sorry. he would have to sit with that failure and with that structural loss to his life for a while before he would let Adam in.

Lex values honesty, loyalty, and mutual trust in his friendships and that translates into a desire to be trusted with weighty and delicate things. I think there's a real and deep desire underneath that to have proof that people do trust him and do feel safe around him and do see him as someone they could confide in and come to in times of need. Yes, he wants someone to confide in, too (to receive the love, care, support, and steady presence of someone else) but he also wants to do that in return........ to receive as well as give something kinder and more tender than anything he's ever given or received from his father

Missing your veil inspired model Bernard au if you have any more ideas for it please share would love to hear them 🙏🏻🙏🏻
god i havent thought about this au in sooo long but i do have some hc!! (og veil!au posts here and here)
so after the Billboard Incident, tim becomes, like, obsessed, with bear and he doesn't realize it's bernard until he's on like a 2am deep dive and finds out that "bear" is just bernard's modeling name and his real name is bernard dowd
and tim's a little confused bc what the hell is bear doing modeling??? back when then were in high school, bear used to talk all the time about cooking
but also, tim's famous!!! bear's famous!!! why did he never reach out?
and then one day, tim's doing like a photoshoot to announce the new wayne collab with some up and coming modeling house and the director of the photoshoot says that he'll be working with another model
cool, whatever, at least he gets to work with a pro right? and the door opens and out comes bear with his hair artfully tousled and lips painted a pretty pink and he's wearing clothes that show off his broad shoulders and oh my god, the fucking boner is back
and as he discreetly tries to hide it, he opens his mouth to greet bear except, bear's eyes go stone cold and the grip on his coffee cup gets tighter
"what the hell is this?" bear says coldly and then he turns around to talk to his manager
"you said i wouldn't have to work with him. in fact, it was the one thing you promised me, when i signed that contract."
tim sinks back into seat stunned as bear's manager drags him off for a quick conversation. when bear comes back the shoot goes off without a hitch but bear says nothing but the bare minimum to him the whole time
tim pulls bear's manager aside to talk privately before the shoot ends
"did i do something wrong?" / "mister drake, you know i can't tell you what my client has told me in private and even if i could, i still wouldn't"
"i havent seen him since high school. i just wish i knew what he was mad about."
"mister drake, more than bernard being my most valuable client, he is also my friend. i can't and i won't tell you the reason but, you look like a good guy. and in all honesty, i think you'd be good for him. so i'll leave you with a hint: maybe it's not about what you did do, and more about what you didn't do."
"if you're his friend, why're you helping me?"
"bear's good now, he'll be great when he can move on from whatever's stopping him. i think it's you. this hurt has been festering for almost a decade and if we're being brutally honest, it's your fault. so you fix it, so that my bernard can be up there with the greats."
bear's manager turns to leave and right before he exits the door he looks back and says, "and if all else fails mister drake, just remember that apologies are usually a good place to start."
