#galaxy of wonders

[emotionalpersimmon]

"You are a galaxy of wonder, full of life and mystery,

Your scars shine like stars, each with a tale of its own.

It’s a badge of honor, of a warrior's etched on your skin, forever present.

Your marks are like the ocean's waves, crashing free,

Etching patterns on the sand, making you unique and remarkable

Your eyes are like the earth's rich soil, fertile and dark,

Where life sprouts, and memories embark.

They sparkle with longing, searching for a familiar face,and

A glimpse of connection,

Your hands hold the power to create and heal,

To cradle joy and to let go,

They remember the touch of loved ones,

And summon memories, Like whispers of the past, echoes of love and laughter.

Like the scent of old books, or freshly baked bread,

Fragrances transport you back to your childhood

Vivid memories unfold,

Weaving your past, your identity, your story divine.

All this map is of your journey, a beautiful, perfectly imperfect,

Ever-changing you, a work of art, a masterpiece, anew.

With every step, with every breath, you evolve and grow,

To unique and precious soul, with a story to be told.

But through it all, you've emerged, stronger, wiser,

Like A phoenix from the ashes, with a heart that's full of fire.

So let your scars shine like stars, let your marks tell your tale,

Let your eyes sparkle with longing, and your hands hold the power to prevail.

For you are a galaxy of wonder, full of life and mystery,

A beautiful, perfectly imperfect, ever-changing you, wild and free.

That one episode in TCW

[livingasaghost]

i think one reason why so many people fail to understand andrew and neil's relationship is because people don't know what it is to be aspec. and obviously the aspec umbrella is wide and varied and no one size fits all, but at the heart of their relationship, neil is demisexual. and i fully believe andrew is some form of aromantic. and obviously their shared history of trauma (of all kinds) colors their relationship and their sexualities and actions. but aspec people (and the people in relationships with those aspec people) develop such different relationships than allo people. they care differently, and it's often the care that becomes most important, rather than (just) the attraction. like yes, i choose you because i see you because i am interested in you because i don't quite understand you but i want to, i need to, and i am committed to sticking around regardless of whether we are a legal partnership or not.

people argue all the time that andreil would grow to say i love you some day, that they'd eventually heal enough to get married, but that isn't healing. that's ignoring a vital part of each of them. not only are they both still learning what love is, but love is not what their relationship is built around. they did not ~FaLl In LoVE~ they built a partnership around taking care of the other person. sure they were attracted to each other in their own ways, but andrew doesn't look at neil like he's his happily ever after romance. neil is the person who wants andrew to live, who wants andrew to be happy, who wants andrew to know that he has value even when he's not a good person. and andrew is the person who wants neil to be safe, who wants neil to be happy, who wants neil to know that he has value even when he isn't playing exy. their "romance" comes from holding each other up, from calling each other on their shit, from being a safe space when the world has proven it is anything but. neil is the one who almost starts to imagine some kind of long-term partnership in such conventional terms and andrew is so unconcerned with what that partnership looks like...he just knows the two of them will continue holding each other up as long as they can. and sure they'll have sex and sleep in the same bed and get cats together and all that "romantic" shit, but it's more than romance. it's a life. it's security. it's a chance to rewrite the trauma of their pasts.

and yeah to an outsider all that is romantic, sure. but i don't think andrew and neil see it like that. their relationships is all facts and truths. they feel safest in these absolutes, in the trust they are building together, in the shared language they are crafting between tentative touches and long stares. but to label it something as banal as ~romance~ undersells just what's happening to them. they don't need to say i love you because they know that all of these pieces that make up their shared life together say that for them, and they wouldn't know what to do with those words anyway. their "love" is not the same as other people's anyway. they don't need to get married because anniversaries and dates and marriages minimize just how long forever is, and they are already joined together by the understanding they share.

if the two of them got married or started "dating" it would send the wrong message to people who will never understand. neil isn't andrew's ~boyfriend~ he's the man who convinced him that life can interesting enough to stick around for. andrew isn't neil's ~lover~ he's the man who refused to let him run away from the life he always wanted. it's not romantic, it's survival. it's selflessness. it's learning how to care for yourself by caring for someone else and letting them care for you.

POV: you just said Jason Todd was girl coded

[puppetmaster13u]

Prompt 245

Now Danny would openly admit, if only to himself, that he had a type when it came to relationships. If they were strong, if they were a threat to him, then chances were he would develop some sort of crush. It was how he had dated Sam and Valerie (And Johnny & Kitty) when he was a bit younger, and hell, Sam had technically succeeded in killing him, even if partly. 

Attraction towards smart people who could kill him was honestly par for the course for a Fenton or Nightingale anyway. 

And he’d also admit he enjoyed a bit of time travel, learning about times and culture long before his time, to the point that he could blend in in ancient times just as easily as the time he had been born in. That it was natural to mutter in a language lost to time. 

So color him surprise when another man perks up in the bar he had paused to get a drink in, vibrant green eyes gleaming in interest and responds in turn. And not just in the language, but able to keep up when he talks about things that once existed but haven’t been rediscovered yet. 

And one thing led to the other, and there might have been some assassins and some shenanigans that end with them both laughing together in an inn and then more and- Okay he has a type alright, and he’s ticking each box! How is that fair?

While waiting for Pure Vanilla Cookie to arrive to the Dark Cacao Kingdom, things are just pure chaos with the Child being difficult to handle. Running through the halls, giggling, playing, awhile Cacaco Soliders are chasing them trying to get the child under control yet unable to. Oh look! They’re riding on the back of one of the Cream wolves by using a Beanjelly as a lore! Meanwhile Dark Cacao’s slumped on his throne rubbing his temples with a migraine setting in.

Dark Cacao thought that looking after the child would be easy.

He was experienced with rearing young ones, as he primarily raised his own son here in the kingdom before his banishment, and they are barely tall enough to reach his knee, how hard could they be to babysit while he waits for Pure Vanilla to come and pick up his child? He had ordered his best guardsman to watch over the child and to not let them out of the kingdom, as he knows his lands are dangerous and filled with hostile wildlife. However, the moment he had set his rump upon his ebony throne, chaos ensued outside. He could hear his guards shouting about them trying to catch a happily squealing youngster somewhere outside and Caramel Arrow Cookie was shouting at Crunchy Chip Cookie to get the kid under control and off of his Cream Wolf. This was quick to alert the king to something going down just outside the temple. However, the king barely had any time to stand up from his throne before the throneroom doors were opened by a Cream Wolf that was mounted by the small toddler, who changed its direction randomly because of the child messing around on its back. "Go! Go! Run Cweamy! Go faster!" The Cream Wolf then took off in a direction towards the temple area within the building and the toddler could be heard letting out a "weeeeee!!!" as it runs past, and Crunchy Chip Cookie comes running through the doorway in hot pursuit of his AWOL Cream Wolf. Caramel Arrow Cookie was quick to rush into the throne room as well, gasping for breath while doing a double-take and looking at her king in shock, who was looking completely bewildered on how things went downhill so fast the moment he turned his back. "We...(gasp)...we just turned our backs for a second, my king!" She hurriedly explains. "We are doing our best to get them off that Cream Wolf! Just....(gasp) give us a moment!" She rasps before running back after the Cream Wolf and Crunchy Chip, who could be heard making a mess in the temple area--judging by the distressed shouting from the soothsayers and aromatics.

The king can only shake his crowned head in stunned silent amazement. His best warriors...beaten by a witch's spawn on the back of a Cream Wolf. What an embarrassment. This went on for hours--until the chaos around the building had suddenly finally fallen silent and the king could only be relieved that he now had time to think in peace. Maybe one of his warriors had finally gotten that Cream Wolf to sit and stay long enough for them to retrieve the little one? He hoped so. Yet...the silence was almost deafening. The howling snowstorms just outside the temple causes the chimes to jingle and for his worries to grow. The sun was gone and it was nightfall...where is everyone? He needed to get up and see what was amiss himself. However, he was interrupted by the sound of the throne doors opening quietly, which draws his gaze over. He sees the little troublemaker standing in the doorway, no longer on the back of a Cream Wolf and giving his warriors grief. Yet, they look exhausted and they were shivering from the cold just outside. It looked pitiful. "Where have you been?" He asks sternly, to which the child wanders into the throne room and approaches. "Where are the warriors?" The child looks up at him and shrugs...before suddenly climbing up onto his lap. Dark Cacao jumps in place at their boldness and they slip into the grove between his arm and cloak--apparently looking for warmth. He was about to scold them for jumping up onto his throne unannounced, but his tongue suddenly falls silent as he looks at what they were wearing. He eyes some eerily familiar threads of black and white that covered their body....and they reminded him of someone. "Where...did you get those--" Yet, his sentence goes unfinished when Caramel Arrow Cookie comes into the throne room, looking distressed. "My king! I come bearing bad news! We can't find the child anywhere in the--??" Caramel Arrow is suddenly caught aghast when she finds her charge resting in the nook of her king. "But...how? I don't understand...they were..." She trails off. "Forgive our failures today, my king. I will show them to their chambers now--" "No." Caramel Arrow Cookie is stunned by her king's denial. "Sir?" "They will stay here with me." His purple eyes refocus back on the once energetic toddler, now sleeping soundly against his warm armor, still wearing those familiar threads. "I feel that they have been through quite a lot tonight. Just be thankful that they are safe and sound. I will place them in their temporary quarters when the night grows long." "Y...Yes, my king."

More on Lanterns and Marvel

See original post here: https://www.tumblr.com/moonlightcycle571/765612915343704064/lantern-corps-and-a-10-year-old-child-in-a-last

I talked about the Lantern list (a ranking of people who to this day refuse lantern offers) and having Billy Batson be number 1, and have Captain Marvel be number 2.

This would naturally attract the attention of Lantern Cores everywhere (like what do you mean they received offers from multiple lanterns multiple times), the space community (why does the Terra City of Fawcette have dominating spots) as well as the JL (Cap, why are you outclassed by a civilian from your own city).

I also fully believe Lois Lane is on the same boat as Billy Batson when it comes to Lantern offers. One does not jump off buildings or sneak into war zones without a great deal of will power and induce a great deal of fear. Lois Lane is definitely in the top 10.

Coincidentally, in the top 50, you will find Cat Grant, Vic Sage and surprisingly Vicki Vale (if she can make BATMAN shudder and be wary of her, she can make anyone fear her).

So it’s been accepted that journalists have a lot of will power, a lot of rage and can put the fear of god into you. Clark is not bitter that he’s not on the list, no sire. Never mind that Jimmy Olsen is in the Top 100.

Batman might want to study this phenomenon.

But anyways. One does not stay at the top without ridiculous numbers. As the only top 10 ers on earth, they have grown used to random rings trying to get them on space politics quests or whatnot.

So now imagine this: Lois Lane and Billy collab on a project. While they are speaking, random rings start to show up. Instinctively, both swat them away like flies while maintaining eye contact. They don’t realise what they are doing. Clark is having an aneurism.

At some point, they both realise that the other is swatting the rings away with the same nonchalance as the other. They immediately understand what’s up. The shit eating grin they both had made a bunch of yellow rings swarm around them.

Billy gets asked on why he doesn’t want to join the Green lanterns? Billy says it’s because he hates cops. Lois nods.

Hal cries himself to sleep that night.

Bonus:

Batman stalking a civilian named Batson who for some reason is number one in the Lanterns List, with an alarming amount of yellows.

Batman finds a black hair, blue eyes, orphan child.

Batman: Alfred call the guy

Bonus 2:

Nightwing, trying to meet his future maybe brother: Hi 👋

Billy, sees an authority figure in Blue that wields batons and electricity: …

Billy immediately kicks Nightwing while yelling ACAB

Billy runs away

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

No lighting close ups:

[merrysithmas]

ok but the scene in the Wrath of Khan where kirk is called down to the radiation chamber bc spock is dying is.... SO SO spousal-coded like my god

the tones everyone uses, the stilted silences, the unwillingness or inability to say those words to kirk's face.

the dread in bone's voice. the doctor. that TONE.

"jim you better get down here. hurry."

god it haunts me ever since the first time i watched it! it was just so REAL. and jim knows it. instantly. just like any loving partner would. it's even in the script that bone's tone scares him.

the words no one ever wants to hear. he's about to lose his life partner of 20 years. publically. - and everyone knows it.

he RUNS down to engineering, the way it is filmed it takes so long and it's so horrible like time is stretched out. you dont want to get to the end but you have to - just like jim. and the whole time your heart is pounding just as his is. and the expressions he is met with from bones and scotty... heartbreaking.

like walking into a hospital room where you only need to exchange those horrid expressions.

he is initially angry, barely has any time to register or react before it's over.

the worst kind of goodbye.

IT STILL BREAKS MY HEART CONSTANTLY SCARRED FOR LIFE EVEN THO THEY END UP HAPPILY EVER AFTER OK😭
