#father and son but equal?

[hjkiuwb]

👀👀 I suddenly want some story in which lonely Stiles Stilinski doesn't just stubbornly live in his rented apartment and call his father every free minute to have a nice chat, but after stubbornly living in silence and wondering how his dad is Stiles decides to return to his family's home and their relationship transforms from dynamic “responsible adult & secretive teenage mischief-maker" into "two adults: father and son"

They drink beer together on weekends (they rarely coincide)

They discuss their personal troubles with less discomfort because both perceive each other as equals

They allow each other to take care of themselves, but firstly they've shouted passionately about their independence and then they've realized that is what really love is for each other

They calmly continue their lives without worries about each other and with suddenly increased self-confidence because there's unexpectedly plus one more friend on their side

And perhaps they even allow themselves to have even more happiness

In the form of new prospects, new acquaintances, new travels in their life

I want it

Also there're so many reasons why durge might want to deny Bhaal, aside from general "killing is bad, the god of murder is bad."

Orin betrayed them and it was somewhat from silent approval of Bhaal, so "god betrayed me first" kind of narrative. A desire to get revenge, on Orin AND on Bhaal.

A desire to live. Durge's fate, Durge's Destiny is to literally kill everyone and then themselves. What if they want to live? What if desire to live is stronger than desire to kill?

Alternatively, what if there's someone they don't want to kill? A single person for Durge to care about, a single person they would want to save instead of bloodying father's altar with their blood. A single connection like that is all what it would take.

A desire to break free. Durge can be completely okay with murders, loving murdering people even, reveling in violence. But they're their father's puppet and they could want to break free of it, to have their own will, to have only their voice in their head. To be a master of themselves with no one to kneel to.

The "I'm better than my father" kind of mindset. Durge is made of a flesh of a god, in a sense they ARE god. Bhaal was mortal once. Why would Durge listen to him when they can attempt to overthrow him, to become a new god?

Being compelled to other side. It's not unknown for gods to steal each other's followers/chosen ones. Look at Ketheric, look at Shadowheart. Myrkul is recently chosen-less after the Moonrise Towers. Bane would love to fuck with Bhaal like that. Shar is there. Good gods who would try to redeem Durge or use them against their own father are there. It would be a delightful power move from Selune to offer Durge assistance/ an alliance against Bhaal.

Idk, I just love how multidimensional the defiance of Bhaal can be. I have a lil army of Durges exactly because I can mold them into such different people

Batman #650 (2006)

Batman and Red Hood (2011-) #20

Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016-) #25

“Bruce works out so he can carry Jason around like a baby” he is dragging him by the broken edge of the boy’s helmet, knuckles digging into his eyes. He is definitely strong enough to carry him but that’s not the point. He thinks Jason deserves this.

Task Force Z #6 (2022)

Catwoman (2018-) #57

Bruce and his habit of flattening his son onto the ground and standing on top of him like a lion does to its prey, while saying degrading things.

Batman (2016-) #138

And would you look at that. He finally lowered himself to face Jason. After rendering him completely powerless.

Thinking about how Zoro may have mixed and complicated feelings about Koushirou because on one hand that’s his sensei and he was taught to respect his sensei, but on the other hand he caused his own daughter, Zoro’s best friend, so much pain and constantly berated her to her face about how she’ll never be strong like the boys nor will she ever inherit the dojo. Like. Zoro cannot have one straight forward opinion on this man, he HAS to have some back and forth opinions on this guy I mean come on!

I think it’s rather interesting to think about the issue of succession within the finweon line of elves (and all heirs in general) when everysingel king/queen/noble from lake cuivienen didn’t inherit their title, they made themselves king, they made themselves nobility.

Like, what was it like for the -we’s to journey from “just one of the elves” to the high king of their respective elves?

Do you ever think finwe looks at his sons fighting for succession and thinks “maybe you should actually do something on your own to become king instead of relying on my death and your birth.”?

Because all elves were created on equal footing at the lake, and somehow they ended up dividing themselves into commoners, nobility, and royalty.

And then somehow they got the idea to pass down their titles to their children.

Honestly, finwe not being able to navigate the succession issue between Nolofinwe and Feanor makes a whole lot more sense when you consider the fact that he never had to fight to be the heir. Because for him, he worked to become king based on his own merit in opposition to literally every other elf.

The -we’s kids and the children of every other noble from the cuivienen era were born with possibility at their fingertips, were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, were born special.

But finwe, ingwe, elwe, olwe, and all those who climbed the ladder from the lake made themselves special.

thinking abt what you said with house viewing Benny as a son and I’m obsessed. Like. The man spent most of his life before the war presumably alone, and then after the bombs fell he was alone again, save for AI he himself devised. Then he decides to pull in some Tribes, and one kid shows promise! So sure, treat him well, train him, groom him to be his protege, then next thing you know UH OH he’s got developing paternal feelings towards this guy. Wanting some semblance of a family when the time has long since passed, yet fostering that feeling all the same seems so accurate for him. Benny meanwhile only views him as a boss, and not a particularly good one at that. makes me wonder how House must’ve felt when he found out about Bennys plans

I view it as House blames only himself for this, cause he kind of does in canon (strap in this is a long one).

When reflecting on the issue of Benny, House chastises himself first and foremost for not acting quickly enough when it comes to priming Benny. He describes Benny as being ambitious, ruthless and capable; compliments coming from a man like House. House has an ego and while he is logical enough to understand there was never any evidence Benny saw him as a father-figure, he lacks the humility to admit he let his own views on his relationship with Benny blind him to the activities happening behind the scenes.

I doubt that House was as aware as he makes out about what Benny was doing, he knew early on but certainly not early enough to stop Benny from hacking and obtaining a securitron along with getting the chip in the first place. I take it he was distracted by all the possibilities he was calculating of Vegas' success and growth with him steering and Benny as the new figure head, not because of any normal affection for Benny but the admiration of his capabilities. It's to be noted that House believed menial incentives (likely caps, booze, basic needs, etc..) were enough to keep Benny tame like the other Chairmen but, as evidenced by the Omertas and Mortimer in the WGS, this is not enough when it comes to more driven Vegas citizens. This implies he still undervalued Benny and created a space in which Benny felt the need to rebel.

House in my eyes is not sentimental in the traditional sense. I can imagine his pride was severely scorned as someone he certainly deemed dumber than him was, albeit only for a little, able to out-gambit him. It would definitely hit home seeing how his brother also betrayed him but I feel like that's why he's so apathetic when he tells the Courier to do as they see fit with Benny. I doubt the way he terrorized his brother brought him any emotional satisfaction other than a "Now who's in charge!" ego boost. Putting that same emotional intensity towards Benny isn't worth it because who does it benefit? Wasted time, wasted planning, and most importantly wasted potential are all he gets from continuing to be hands-on with Benny. I say the closest example is not being able to throw out old toys due to the memories attached but knowing it's necessary as they are broken or just taking up space for new ones, and then asking someone else to do it so you don't need to get caught up in the feelings of throwing something you put so much effort into. It's not Benny House cares about in my mind, not in a way that sounds healthy to any non-emotionally constipated individual, but what he could've represented for him, which is why he so quickly offers the same position to the Courier.

As for Benny's view on all of this, it was a long time coming. Benny didn't and doesn't believe House is a completely shitty boss. He admires what he's been shown and admits House knows how to run the strip, but disagrees with the directions. Ideologically, House is an anarcho-capitalist while Benny is just an anarchist. House wants to run the strip to profit, though money is not what he's concerned with being rich with anymore. Benny wants a free state that he wishes to become a place for the people, except for the Chairmen who would be on top (I like to remind people that Benny's motives were selfish but not for personal gain/power as was it for the people he actually saw as family). Benny was never looking for a father but a future. He was not interested in being adopted, or having the chairmen adopted, as bigger names still overshadowed in House's legacy.

Truly, it's easiest to summarize as House feeling strongly and thinking positively enough of Benny to start incorporating him into the future of Vegas (a huge honor actually) while Benny was so disillusioned by House's ego and indifference that he thought the only way Vegas could be the future is with House gone.

Son letting his dad rape his mouth after a long day. Sitting on his knees for him, boxers around his thighs as he needily jerks off and lets his throat constrict around his dad’s cock. Getting gripped by the hair as he pulls out just so he can cum all over his boy’s face and watch it drip. <3

TW// Blood

(Even though it’s horribly done, I’m not risking it 💀)

•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•

* Fights are boring if I win all the time!

* Sometimes, I like to act like they’ve actually got a hit on me.

* Seeing their shocked expressions when I regenerate using (their or my own) blood, gives me a sense of satisfaction.

* I guess Nightmare enjoys it too. Since, he’s always there when it happens.

Some info on Pandora ig???:

• Pandora isn’t the original Sans of his au. The original died and their dust was used to create Pandora (along with a random bat monster, a crap ton of animal blood and iron ore).

• Pandora is naturally soulless (being a homunculus).

• Nightmare has a “tough love” approach when it comes to Pandora.

• Nightmare doesn’t allow Pandora on missions. This doesn’t stop Pandora from causing trouble in other au’s though.

• Due to the high amount of animal blood used to make Pandora, his magic is centred around blood instead of bones (manipulation, creation, transmutation, etc.).

• He’s highly proficient in his use of blood magic (not mastery). If only the same could be said for blue magic (he doesn’t know how to use it lol).
