sometimes you gotta lure your overly-studious ravenclaw gf into spending time with you 🥰 📚 ( from 'Every Teardrop is a Waterfall' by Kat_12739 on ao3, GO READ IT!!! the first story is about seb falling sick and still pushing himself/not admitting he's sick until he ends up in the hospital, the second story is about the birth of seb and clora's daughter and seb's reaction to clora almost dying in childbirth, and the third is about dealing with a fussy newborn lewis😭🥹THEY'RE SO GOOD AND SWEET AND SOMEWHAT SAD (not to mention beautifully written) so go check it out!!💖💖 )

Jealousy, Jealousy

forever thinking about how marcille and laios have such a richly weird and funny friendship dynamic that people I see tend to write off as "god she hates his ass" but in reality it's the frustration of one neurodivergent weirdgirl to another neurodivergent weirdboy who has no concept of masking, has never had to mask, and simply doesn't know how to mask making their entire group come across as "the weirdo freaks" despite her best efforts to not be labelled as "weird" probably her entire life

do you ever think about how doflamingo never knew that law was in the treasure chest? do you ever think about how he never learned that roci's "i'm sorry i lied, i just didn't want you to hate me" WASN'T actually for him? do you think he ever thought about that, in the years afterwards? do you think it ever haunted him?

So, it's taken me a few days to answer this ask, and the reason for that is the same as my answer: every time I think about Doflamingo's reaction to Roci's apology, I get so emotional I have to lie down. Because, like--

You get your brother back. More than ten years, and you thought he was probably dead, but you get him back. He's the only blood relative you have left, and you're a Donquixote, so blood matters. Your brother is back and you fold him into your life, because you trust him. Of course you trust him: he's your brother.

Then suddenly, he leaves inexplicably to save a kid he's never even liked and whatever, okay, fine, but the problem is, the moment he leaves, the Navy stops being able to find you every time you dock. And he's your brother, but you're no fool. You can put two and two together. You shouldn't have trusted him. Then you get proof that he tried to pass on information about your plans to the Navy.

You have to kill him. He's your brother. He's a traitor. He has to die.

Even when you confront him, he's unrepentant. He stole your chance at immortality to save that kid. He's kept the kid from you. He says the kid is better off without you, that he'll be better than you, that you're monstrous. He's a Marine, he's a traitor, and he hates you.

Except in the middle of all of it-- he apologizes. Not for betraying you, but for lying about it. I just didn't want you to hate me, he says.

You kill him anyway.

But as you walk away, wouldn't you think about it? Wouldn't you wonder why he'd done it all, if he didn't want you to hate him?

Do you hate him?

You have to hate him. He was a traitor. You killed him, and if you don't hate him, then how can you live with killing him?

Wouldn't those words come back to you, in quiet moments? Every time you doubt yourself, wouldn't you think about the absurdity of it? It wouldn't make sense to you, that's the thing. A paradoxical apology in the middle of all that vitriol.

I'm sorry I lied. I just didn't want you to hate me.

You'd wonder, eventually, if your brother chose to live in the same lie he fed you. Maybe your brother imagined, between selling you out to the Navy and lying to your face, that he could really be part of your family. Maybe he lied to himself, too.

You're not the sort of person to doubt yourself. But maybe you'd wonder if you could have fixed it. Maybe you'd vaciliate between hating him, hating his lies, hating that you trusted him-- and wishing it hadn't come to this. If you'd held your fire, what could have happened?

You couldn't have, of course. He was a traitor. He had to die.

But before that, he was your brother.

Yeah, I think it'd be haunting. I don't think you'd ever get out from under that ghost of your own making.

TELEMACHUS AND ANTINOUS. FINALLY

[coldflash-corner]

Speaking of Barry being able to read Leonard Snart scarily well, imagine that Barry notices how Snart reacts to people Barry knows, and files that away in his opinions of that person

Barry is in the cortex with someone he finds kind of annoying but harmless, Snart walks in for Definitely-Not-Flirting-While-Doing-Business Reasons, and starts lowkey acting like this guy is an Immediate Threat that he's trying to act cool around to not set him off. And Barry immediately knocks like 5 points off of the "how much do i trust this guy" ranking. Subtly starts telling him less things, looks into what he's doing on the downlow, treats him as potentially suspicious And turns out... The guy does have bad intentions

Leonard comes in and meets some of Barry's new friends/coworkers, and clearly seems to mark one of them as more trustworthy/less of a threat than everyone else. And when Barry needs help or someone to confide in, he goes to that person over everyone else

Barry comes in to Saints and Sinners and sees a regular he's run into before, but hasn't seen interact with Snart. He thought the guy might be pretty cool. But today he walks into them talking, and Immediately sees that Snart is closed off, jumpy, does NOT like that guy in his space. And Barry immediately takes cues off of that, turns the guy down when he later asks to have drinks together next time Barry drops by Saints

If Snart seems unnerved by someone Barry knows, Barry trusts his instincts. Even if Leonard never says anything to Barry out loud, he still takes note of that. If Snart likes someone, or just thinks they're reliable, Barry will trust that instinct.

Even if Snart doesn't say his feelings out loud, Barry trusts him so innately that he will listen to Snart's instincts when it's clear he's feeling a type of way

Stan and Ford share a single brain cell.

Literally.

It’s the very special brain cell that turns the holder into a genius. It also likes to suck up all new knowledge it can find.

You lose the brain cell? You lose the knowledge.

As children no one was sure which one of them was the smart twin. Maybe they both were. Maybe neither.

The brain cell holder switched freely depending on who needed it the most. However, the older they got the more Ford used it.

He actually liked to study and feed the brain cell, unlike Stan who just shrugged and let Ford have it most of the time. It’s not like he needed it for much anyway except for getting a passing grade on a test. 5 minutes were usually more than enough.

This was all fine until it wasn’t. Until Ford did all the work, put all the effort into studying, only for Stan to steal and misuse his efforts whenever it was convenient for him to do so.

And let’s not forget that time when Stan skipped school and took control over the brain cell right when Ford was supposed to give a presentation.

Ford was the main holder of the brain cell. All his knowledge and studies went into it. Without the brain cell he was no longer a genius and he couldn't fall back on the knowledge he acquired.

Needless to say the fall out of that presentation wasn’t pretty and Stan promised Ford not to use the brain cell unless Ford allowed it.

He kept that promise even when he shouldn’t have. He never took control over the brain cell to check if Ford’s project was really still working as intended, because he didn’t want to break Ford’s trust and lose him over it.

After he got kicked out however, the promise meant nothing. Stan still used the brain cell rarely, but he used it. He had to use it to survive, though he tried to only use it in emergencies or when Ford was sleeping and the brain cell was not in use, which as the years went by became a concerning rare occasion.

One time Stan stole the brain cell from Ford and read all books he could find on the importance of sleep and yeeted the brain cell back to Ford, hoping he would get the message.

Another time he spent a day wrestling Ford mentally for the brain cell just to learn how to cook basic meals because their mother was worried about Ford's eating habits.

These occasions were few and far in between. So few in fact that a certain dream demon never quite figured out what was going on. He was however slightly impressed and very frustrated with how well guarded the important parts of Ford’s mind were.

Ford never mentioned it, in part because sharing the brain cell has always been as natural as breathing and in part because he was ashamed Bill would think less of him if he knew that the genius mind he chose wasn’t truly Ford's alone.

And then Bill betrayed Ford and the age old question of who the smart twin was finally got its answer.

It was Stanley. With or without the brain cell Ford knew, Stanley would have never been this stupid. He would’ve seen through Bill from the start.

Ford’s stupidity has doomed the world and Ford has no way to stop it. Bill owned him.

Oh, but he doesn’t own the important part right? He hasn’t cracked the brain cell yet. The one thing he needed to activate the portal was still out of his reach.

Ford has no way to keep Bill out of his mind, but years ago he found a way to keep the brain cell out. It was supposed to be an emergency measure if Stan one day decided to keep the brain cell permanently, but it will now be used for the exact opposite.

So Ford threw the brain cell into Stan’s mind, blocked it with an unbreakable spell from coming back and fell asleep smiling.

Let Bill do whatever he wanted with his mind and body, Ford was useless to him now.

Meanwhile Stan wakes up with the knowledge of how to destroy the world and dull emptiness where his brother’s presence used to be.

Meanwhile Ford, with the math skills of a second grader, drinks a mental smoothie and laughs at Bill flipping his shit over Ford suddenly being an idiot.

“Ah, sorry Bill. Could you dumb it down a little? I have no idea what you just said.”
