i already know i’m gonna get a knee jerk “oh so you wanted them to show hole onscreen???? you think the only way to show love is by fucking and sucking????” reaction to this bc it’s what ppl always say when the shows portrayal of like instances of Gayness b/w edstede gets criticized (like how rhys and taika visibly brace for impact before they kiss JFJSJCJSHF) but it’s like sad to me that the show never rly engages w Desire like you’re telling me that stede never calls ed handsome? they never look at each other like they’re Attracted to one another? Ohhh all the longing gazes are due to Emotional Desire like OK COOL well i wish they weren’t All bc of that?! “it’s a romcom not an R rated show! what do you expect” Well i would like them to start by having stede call ed handsome and brush a strand of hair off his face and slowly lean in to kiss him for an extended period of time and for them both to emerge out of it looking bashful and shy. this is what i would have them do For starters. if i was a writer in this show

I could talk for hours about how genius seasons 4 and 5 of wwdits are like actually. Like yeah they have problems and s3 is still better but y'all (mostly twt, tumblr is a little better) are sleeping on some of the show's best and most profound moments because they didn't have the wish fulfillment of a fanfic

[bloodheartz]

Genuinely don’t know how people come out of the Soul Eater anime ending calling Maka’s punch a “friendship punch” when they literally talk about Madness vs Bravery throughout the show AND THEY LITERALLY SAY ITS BRAVERY IN THE SHOW !!!

Someday I will write 90s Amerus fic. That day isn’t now (biggest writing block rn), but someday. Many of the 90s fics in the English fandom are too incorrect in my opinion when it comes to historical contexts — and I know why, but it is 😄 grating

[fragonreal]

a little peeksy of my personal project ^_^ im not using any layers which probably ended up being a mistake in the long run LOL anyway hopefully I'll be finished before next week.

everyone talks about solas+anders+morrigan, nobody talks about the TRUE and most DEVASTATING betrayal in dragon age:

the way my heart was absolutely shattered. the way i've still not recovered from this and perhaps never will. he was everything to me, the love of my life and he threw it all away like it meant nothing

the real star of Jhoome Jo Pathaan is the silver earcuff and dangle earring that they have given SRK along with his various necklaces, rings, arm taweez and glorious hair, taking no further statements at this time

im really sorry if this question ends up being repetitive: but, if not for bruce’s over reliance on dick to regulate his thoughts and emotions, why would dick grow up into feeling like he needs to repress his emotions so much and his eagerness to act as people’s support? i know youve spoken about wolfman and his altering of their relationship but if ntt is generally an accurate portrayal of an adult dick, to me this nevertheless sounds like the consequences a parent-child relationship where the responsibilities are titled too much towards the child

i suppose this could also segue into asking for recs that would help me better understand your interpretation of their relationship 👀

not repetitive at all! to me the irony of wolfman's depiction of dick lies in that it is simultaneously something you can logically ascertain from prior canon but not for the reasons actually presented by wolfman. if that makes sense. he does extra work that isn't actually necessary to help explain why dick would act the way that he does because there's plenty of reasons for it without rewriting his history with bruce to have always been suppressed and edgy and dark. to me it makes far more sense to capitalize on the inevitable disconnect between bruce and dick as an adult and a child. batman: full circle is a good example of that dichotomy (and although it was published in the early 90s it built on mike w. barr's prior understanding of the relationship between dick and bruce that he wrote into the early 80s). bruce's primary concern for the people he works with is never standards or finesse but safety. he worries constantly about others coming to harm under his watch and with a child in particular those worries were exacerbated. he ran a tight ship not because he believed dick had anything to prove but because the only way dick could keep being robin was if he went about it safely. that was obv easy for an adult to understand. but not so much for a child

to bruce these worries were practical and par for the course (as well as an expression of his love and protectiveness) but for dick their consequences formed the crux of his entire world. as a child he idolized everything about bruce. his heroism. his work ethic. his skill. his resolve. his preparedness. if dick couldn't live up to the standard he set for himself in idolizing bruce then what could he ever hope to amount to? that was the thought constantly going through his head. and it's why the bulk of his childhood and primary tenure as bruce's partner was so precariously protected by the fact that nothing bad ever really happened during it (and admittedly this framing is convenient because even chronologically speaking nothing very significant happened in their history with each other until dick left for university in 1969) (i know dixon opted to write that whole shtick with dent in his version of events but personally i never found it necessary to do so). there is enough there in the idea of dick working hard for the course of a decade to embody who he believed bruce to be that lends itself to it eventually being difficult for him to healthily express himself once the rift between them actually began to emerge

because what about bruce was there to actually see that was broken and dark before dick became an adult? i know a lot of dick fans hate batman #408 because they don't like that it enforced "retirement" upon dick (which i personally believe is a conclusion they come to because of the way batman #416 re-framed the same scene) but to me that's an inaccurate reading of the text. batman #408 was about bruce (admittedly far too belatedly) recognizing that he could not in good conscience continue to ask dick to go out and be a vigilante on what he considered to be his own "orders". he viewed dick's close call with death at the hands of the joker as something directly of his own making. although their tenure with each other had been wonderful if dick wanted to continue to be a vigilante it had to be on his own terms and of his own volition. obv that was logical to bruce and it was something dick managed to accept in the moment. but it's still hard to go from always having a purpose alongside someone you idolized to finally being entrusted entirely to forge your own

in general i like the idea of dick the adult becoming privy to all of the personal problems and conflicts that come with being a vigilante. he was conveniently shielded from a lot of those problems as a child because all he had to do was be bruce's partner and hope to live up to the title. bruce had no reason to trauma dump on him or talk about his worries and concerns at length with him because it was never supposed to be dick's job to field those worries and concerns in the first place. he was a child. the only thing bruce wanted to do was to help channel his emotions through an outlet and provide him with a home to grow up in. but when you become an adult often that dynamic shifts. you're still not responsible for fielding those worries and concerns but you can perhaps be trusted with them. that's why i like the framing in batman #408 of dick now being a man. it's a subtle way to frame the double-edged sword of adulthood. the world is in your hands now but so will be the horrors that come with it. coming to terms with the real world that bruce lives in should be hard for dick. coming to terms with who bruce is when he's not perfect should be hard. coming to terms with how quietly bruce kept his grief because he did not see fit to overwhelm a child with it should be hard. that dichotomy of dick both wanting to be bruce's brother and his son should form the crux of their conflict with each other because you can't hope to be someone's equal and someone's protected at the same time in that kind of relationship. for dick to transition into the position of equal he has to expose himself to the fact that bruce is not in fact an idol but someone irrevocably human. and that should interfere significantly with his head and his own standards for himself

Okay so context- lately I've gotten SUPER into @partycoffin 's "Welcome Home" and i've been neurodivergent hyperfixation over it. So obviously I had a dream recently about it! Big cool!!!! Especially since I was chilling with em. love to see it~ yippy! :)c But also this dream entailed Barnaby attempting to do stand up while Frank is just, being Frank and over explaining stuff. But suddenly Wally is just. COMPLETELY outta character essentially telling Frank to shut up. Which knocked the wind outta my sails immediately! Wally would never! I know this we all know this yet that is exactly the reason as to why its so funny! The art doesnt at all do the moment justice i fear :(

Jotting it down now, Legends ZA potential starters-

Grass: Snivy (most likely), Chikorita

Water: Piplup (most likely), Poplio

Fire: an equal tossup between Torchic (rooster is Frances national animal and tpc loves this bird) and Litten (France is generally credited for being where modern professional wrestling as a sport started)

THE THING IS I think a lot of people would call me a pretentious food snob and while I would dispute this characterization (eat what brings you joy! I have zero prescriptive judgments about what that should be! Personally I have a major soft spot for grilled cheese and Campbell’s tomato soup), it’s not like I don’t see where they’re coming from. The trouble is that I am (1) cheap and (2) a damned good cook if I do say so myself, and I hate paying for things that I know I could make twice as well for a third of the price.
