#as if he was having tea and cakes

[ndostairlyrium]

I was thinking at warden Alistair and the huge survivor guilt he may build up if Hawke is left in the Fade instead. Like, he already gave full command to a rookie back in the day, was taken advantage as a pawn when a ruler had to be chosen for Fereleden, he then failed to convince the wardens to act wisely rather than throwing themselves in the hands of a complete tool of a man. I think he'd feel like, worthless knowing that someone chose him over another person for just, another decision he couldn't make for himself - which is unfair considering that 1) he gave full command to a person that was more fit for the job 2) he was ready to sacrifice his wellbeing for the good of many 3) he was alone against a fucking army. And they were desperate to the point of sacrificing their own brothers for a suicide mission. A worthless one, to add insult to injury. Try to reason with that, alone, without backups.

The guy needs a vacation, really, and also a huge pat in the back because he's actually putting an effort rather than sitting in a corner crying about his bad luck. I mean, he would do that, but the next day he'll be standing and make a self deprecating joke about it as he pushes through.

Here I go, again... The ride just never ends.

Shiro's reaction to Allura sacrificing herself for him in Season One, when he was still a character who mattered:

Shiro's reaction to the exact same thing in Season Eight, when the writers had long since stopped caring about him:

Shiro's response to Ulaz, who he barely knew, sacrificing himself to save him, back in Season Two:

Shiro saying goodbye to one of his dearest friends, who saved his life and gifted him with his new arm, and the power source for it, in the final episode of the absolute disaster that is Season Eight:

listen. I don't just love father brown because I first saw it while ill with the flu or because it's consistently kind to the outcast in a way that has reviewers calling it Too Woke, obviously a vote in its favour. or because the recurring thief character is very pretty to watch. though those are significant parts of it.

I love it because after eight seasons father brown sits down with the village drunk (a munitions expert in the war, has a soft spot for the parish secretary, name of harold or blind harry) to find out why he gave a murder suspect a false alibi and harry explains to him, calm as you like, that seeing the life leave someone's eyes changes a person, that it's what he reckons brought father brown to his faith, that it's what drove him to drink, and he didn't see that shadow in the guy the police are chasing this time. and father brown, rather than justifying or correcting or dodging or doubting him, says he knows how unjust the situation is. that he got something good out of the horrors of the war. that harry really didn't.

it is not a perfect show and yes I have problems with it but gosh, this is a character who's largely used for comedic beats, albeit kindly, and a scene like this isn't out of place at all but it still takes my breath away. we could've been left with this as subtext, y'know? I hadn't even put together that his alcoholism must have been trauma. but instead harry tells us this directly, tells us it's about guilt, that that's something he shares with father brown, who is competent and so often cheerful and I can't even imagine when he was younger, and it's a moment of such unexpected humanity and respect. and it's such a strange thing to see these characters side by side like that.

the scene ends with father brown calling harry a good man, and harry denying it ("they was only young lads" "so were we, harold. so were we.") and the two them sharing a drink as father brown gets a bit watery-eyed and I'm crying too over my nice cosy 'this is a concerning number of murders for a sleepy english village' show and just. hi. what. ow.

I also haven't recovered from the episode that turned into a heist halfway through but frankly I'm only mentioning that because I don't know how to wrap up a post like this. (it was good though. there were two separate honeypots, three if you count the impromptu replacement, one character terrible at grifting and one unexpectedly great at it, and, somehow, a con within a con. it was really very fun. get a show that can do both, I guess?)

i forgot did we ever figure out why Zuko has trauma with sweets?

Howl and the Guitar...

okay so we all know Howl buys a guitar he can't afford, and he takes it when he visits Lettie and plays it for her even though he can't play a guitar and trash wizard thinks he's so cool, etc.

but ALSO

Howl bought the guitar specifically because it was BEN'S. Because he was looking for him, and he might not have known the details but he knew Something was going up with her dog that was definitely enchanted.

And so he takes the guitar to Lettie's under the pretense of courtship but he's also trying to figure out if Ben Suliman is in there somewhere and maybe the guitar will help...?

So please imagine with me a scene of Lettie going in to get some lemonade and leaving Howl in the garden, whereupon Howl offers the guitar to the dog to sniff, going "hey, boy. Man. Remember this? Is this yours?" and strumming the guitar for a deeply unimpressed enchanted Percival. (trash wizard thinks he's so cool, etc.)

Imagining one of Mario's primary love languages being physical touch...And the terrible tragedy that is the class difference between he and Princess Peach that makes him feel absolutely mortified to approach her first 😖

And also just his manners. He's a gentleman. The last thing he wants to do is make anyone uncomfortable, so he would never dream of approaching a whole entire Princess, thinking his presence is an inconvenience compared to her sheer radiance.

And who is he to ask her for something as silly as a hug? He feels embarrassed and tries to stuff it down, kind of putting on a tough front. But Luigi knows, Luigi hugs him all the time. Think of all the enemies that he has to go through, the man doesn't get a ton of physical contact that isn't violent.

But if Peach found out (say, Luigi gives it away), imagine that she tactfully begins to approach him more often. Grasping his hand, Hugs, kisses as a reward upon rescue 😌 I already see her as a physically affectionate person as it is, but especially if she developed feelings for him, imagine her ramping it up just for him, knowing it helps him feel loved 🥺 Imagine her gradually making him feel brave enough to approach her first when he needs love?

[meringuejellyfish]

he loves that tea so god damn much

[earl-grey-love]

Ugh I had a pretty intense day. I wanna spend some time with Sim.eon, that'd make me feel better.

My man just wanted some tea or something and instead he got a dead family and lifelong trauma

[maskyartist]

for the character headcanons: I'm gonna be predictable and ask for Ozpin lol

jokes on you this is what i was HOPING for >:)

Ozpin had a caretaker named Olivia Flora. She was kind, albeit strict, and did her best to keep him a child for as long as she could. Ozpin entered her care at 12, became a Huntsman at 15 (he was an exceptional student after all n with a lil help from the council it was official), and at 18 he was fully made Headmaster of Beacon Academy

she tried her best to make sure he was happy. his cookie recipe comes from her. his love for mystery novels comes from her. but when he was to become Headmaster, she was assigned to properly train and prepare him for his fate as the next Ozma

though, she was the reason he formed his inner circle to begin with. she always told him to find friends, and keep them close. as close as you can, so you will never be truly alone.

he trusted James, he trusted Glynda, and Qrow, and Theodore and Leonardo, too. he trusted his allies.

he did what she said...and it still turned out so bad...she tried so hard for him, and the world really was against him at every turn

.

A NICER ONE SO I DONT JUST FUEL U WITH DEPRESSION!!

it's not just cookies! Ozpin loves to bake, so he can make plenty of things. brownies, muffins, cupcakes, all that lil snack stuff

he is also a notorious stress baker so if the teachers lounge suddenly has a whole fuckin pie in there? its usually him. ...actually its always him. it'd never not be him.

"I see", for Kirk or Man-Bat!~

Send me “I see” and I’ll tell you how my character perceives yours

"Mr. Flannegan is... I feel him to be a misunderstood individual." Kirk says after a few moments of thinking about it. Where to even begin with Gotham's Ratcatcher? The media had painted the man as a villain, with warped views and an even more warped portrayal of his character. Speaking to the man beneath the gas mask... now that had painted him in a very different light from what others had reported. Mercury scurries up his shirt and he takes a moment to cradle the pale rat, placating her with a peanut. She takes the treat and nibbles it, squeaking softly when he strokes her grey back. "Most people don't like rats. They see them as dirty creatures, especially the wild ones. They're thought of as vicious, even evil if we take certain cartoons and movies into account. Which is nonsense, because they're just animals at the end of the day. They have needs, just like you or I." He could hardly berate Otis when he had a certain appreciation for the common vampire bat. They were similarly seen and treated as vermin by humans in Central and South America when their 'crime' was simply existing in their native habitat. Was a rat any worse than a bat? What made one species worthy of life and special consideration when another could be exterminated without further thought? "Don't tell anybody else I said this, but I think Mr. Flannegan is a very empathic person despite what the news has to say about him. His heart's in the right place, even if his feelings aren't centered on humans specifically. People can be different without being 'evil' or 'insane' simply because they don't fit into society's expectations of normal." After all, what exactly was considered 'normal' in a city like Gotham?

A light in the darkness. That was what the Ratcatcher represented in Man-Bat's mind. A small man, he crept with his rats along the underground tunnels and dwellings where things were quieter, away from the noise and brightness of the city. He too was quiet, his footsteps much lighter than that of most other people and he did not scream, at least not until Man-Bat, vaguely recognizing him above ground, swooped down and snatched him up in his claws. Not to bite or to feast upon his blood, no! There was a memory somewhere that was not connected to that one experience down in the sewers. The man with the light and the rats felt almost like a friend somehow, but where he could not say and unfortunately the man did not feel the same in return. Man-Bat chirped, equal parts curious and disappointed. The Ratcatcher had a sharp stick to go along with his light.
