#but definitely kicking my ass

[jmflowers]

it finally happened. two and a half years into masking and pandemic life and I’ve gotten sick for the first time.

i am absolutely not making a new years' resolution to lift weights more but at the same time i guess there is no harm in just periodically dipping in to check: have we as a society yet solved what is in my mind the greatest problem with strength training, which is that it is incredibly boring? like, i know it is good for you. my dad is essentially chris traeger from parks and rec; believe me, i am very aware it is good for you. but god does my entire consciousness rebel at the notion of spending an entire half an hour just counting sets or whatever, multiple times a week, for the rest of my life.

john as a heir who inherits the narrative freely, doesnt even know that he has the narrative, and barely changes it unless hes being directed to by some outside force (breath as directionless, independent, detatched, free). john as a character whos never existed at the same time as an alternate version of him, a character who never has to face himself and remains largely unchanged by the end of the narrative even as it changes around him

ult dirk as a prince who destroys the narrative and destroys through the narrative, who is determined to reshape it in his own image and 'fix' it, who will make himself the villain if thats what it takes and do whatever he has to in order to help everyone, even if it means hurting them (heart as putting on and taking off masks when needed, inflexible, cold, building a coherent narrative of their own story). dirk as a character who constantly has to face himself via one of his many alternate selves, who can only gain control by uniting those alternate selves into one coherent whole

john is homestuck and ult dirk is homestuck post canon and one of the first things he does when he gains power is kill john (kill homestuck) through the narrative. destroying the (previously free, directionless, detatched) narrative and destroying that narrative through your own (inflexible, cold) narrative. theyre so yaoi

i don't know how the timeline works in hades but imagine before hades 2, zag's talking to the shades waiting in the great hall about melinoe like "oh, my baby sister is so cute, I think she's coming back from her witch boarding school soon" and they assume she's a sweet adorable kid bc that's all he's been talking about

but then emerging from the river styx with blood dripping from her shoulders is this tween whose looks could kill you, and her face lights up when she sees her brother and launches herself at him and then fucking bites him

Thank you guys sm for all the sketch requests! I'll try to do them all, so if you've made a request you can look forward to it in the upcoming days!

Starting off with our local dino boy 🦖

@fair-game-week Day 5 - Intimacy / Warm/Cold

And so, day 5 is upon us already! The boys respond quite differently to warm and cold weather. It's the one thing Cara and I both think they will never agree on. 😂

For this day, @cara-kira did the lines and I did the coloring!

VYV SKETCH ‼️‼️‼️

[cluescorner]

I gave myself a writing challenge and I am fascinated by it

So basically I put the robins in a randomizer to give them a new order/role (because I just...kinda wanted to see what would happen + I like role-reversal AUs) and got results that are giving me a fucking brain blast.

Stephanie, the first sidekick who defines the role

Tim, the sidekick who dies and comes back wrong

Dick, the sidekick who saves Batman from himself

Damian, the sidekick who was never supposed to be a sidekick but would go on to prove everyone wrong

Jason, the youngest sidekick who is still the Kid Wonder

...So this is fucking wild. I've got some ideas and several of these fit perfectly (Dick's role is pretty similar to his one in canon), but some of these are fucking INCREDIBLE to explore (Steph being the first Robin is something I never even considered but tbh I kinda love it).

I probably won't write a fic or anything because tbh I don't like publishing my writing that much, but I might expand this into a full AU and post about it. I might randomize other stuff too (ie, stuff that I cannot change vs stuff that I cannot keep the same) but this fucking rules as a starting point.

Thea posting ✨

First one is adult Thea in her soul alchemist era. In her time working at Central command, she very quickly attracts eyes with her fighting skills and alchemy. That’s what happens if you get trained by Briggs’ best fighter ever since being a kid 💅 the text post is mostly for funsies (but still very true)

The second one is her as a teenager and Scout (belongs to @jemwolf)! This is only an au, but they’re besties your honor

What a good line. He's so genuinely bothered someone believes he's capable of being better than he thinks of himself as he's spent weeks justifying doing something Pretty Bad for entirely self-serving reasons.

10/10. Good game. Good character.

I haven't seen it anywhere, but I really want to see a fic where the Batkids/batfam pull an all-nighter together planning something? As you can tell, this is heavily vibes over the plot, I'm more interested in them keeping each other awake, dressed half in gear, half in comfy clothes, snapping a little, brainstorming and working together to try to break in somewhere/figure something out/fight some shared enemy.

One of them needs to be injured enough to get to boss the others around/kind of beg for snacks and sustenance, balancing a battered laptop on a leg cast, while the others can be in a various state of disarray, having freshly lost/been bested by their enemy.
