When Charlie is depressed, Vaggie holds her and sings her own version of "Cheer Up, Charlie" from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". The rest of the staff have secretly witnessed this at one point or another, but never speak of it because they'll never admit that seeing the princess being sung to by her girlfriend made them cry.
only for Charlie (and their hypothetical unborn child) will Vaggie do this,
and only Charlie (and their hypothetical unborn child) can witness her doing this and live in safety afterwards
unfortunately for Vaggie, there are other people living with them now (friends) (found family) (Those Pests) (who she and charlie would die for)
-and THEY have a bad knack for being bored and snooping on moments they clearly shouldn't
(being fair angel thought vaggie was cheering charlie up in a total different way and would've been less embarrassed listening in if they HAD being doing what he thought)
(being fair to husk when angel drags him over to listen too, Vaggie's gay af cover and clearly love stuck voice gives the song a whole new vibe)
after that no one else can be blamed for humming the song. you can't escape it once the bartender has the earworm
and here follows a very jumpy day of a them all trying not to hum the song where VAGGIE will see it's THEM humming it, (like a deadly game of marco polo or freeze tag) because she makes up for only having one eye with a truly terrifying glare and hell help anyone who doesn't stop the split second before her head whips around to stare at them suspiciously. her spear, also suspiciously, stays in hand the whole day
a successfully cheered up Charlie (and Vaggie is sO relieved to see that, consequences be damned) trots by at one point like Wow The Hotel Just Feels So CHEERFUL Today!!! Am Missing Something Or Is Everyone Else Feeling Extra Happy??
everyone looks from her to Vaggie (or rather, vaggie's very pointed spear)
and they all agree (angel gags niffty before she can say otherwise) that they're just So Happy Today. Yes. Yep. That's all that's going on here. Nothing else at all
Charlie waltz's off (literally) with Vaggie stalking after her while shooting one more (probably not literally?) murderous glare over her shoulder
and no one got hurt! yay!!!
(it's prime blackmail material, on the partner of the princess of HELL no less, and they all gather at the bar to swear each other to secrecy) (not because of vaggie's glares or spear) (absolutely because of the painfully sappy look she got when she looked back at the honest to gay frolicking Charlie)
(imagine charlie and vaggie trying to save their souls meanwhile they're all muttering together: these two are such Idiots about each other, We Need To Protect Them From Their Own Stupid Love. but like, for selfish reasons. of course)
a week later alastor tries playing a snippet of the original song around vaggie just to see what happens
he decides, very CASUALLY, not to do that again. and to keep in mind the fact that charlie's hotel manager can snap a solid oak banister with one hand
(he likes his microphone in one piece thank you) (and his antlers) (and his Neck)

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.

still musing on whether or not Pharah was intended to be autistic-coded in her PVE logs. Like it makes sense, autistic people tend to have a strong sense of justice that can sometimes lead to black and white thinking and morality (which Pharah very clearly struggles with). She’s just not a character I ever thought of as potentially being autistic. But things like the over-explaining in the logs, the ridiculous adherence to arbitrary rules, and the repeated complaints about loud noises bothering her makes me wonder if that’s what they were going for.
I mean I’d be all for it tbh. Personally I’ve since incorporated it into my interpretation of her character already lol

i just worry because i genuinely super love the story, and i worry about you ;v; i dont want my current favourite writer to feel pressured or upset, esp not if i say something a little tactless. i was a little worried with your upload speed, actually, cause i was concerned you might be pushing yourself too hard. and then i remembered that i am a fellow chronic pain haver and ourgh the distraction of creation. but yippie yay <3 im glad it wasnt that mean!
The head of my faculty noticed that I was really unwell (he's like the one guy in my corner among a lot of teachers who are really hostile to students with chronic illness) and I got a pass to do the last few weeks of the semester from home, via remote assignments, so I have a lot of time to write right now. :D When my brain gets fed up with the assignments I swap to writing my fic for a bit or cuddle my cats.
Look at this, this is the face of someone who almost deleted 4k words of an essay by putting her dumb little leggy on the keyboard.
For extra bonus points I'm recovering my energy a lot faster than usual because I don't have to commute between classes.
I'm really glad you are enjoying the story and I'm touched by your concern. 💕 I'm riding a sudden windfall of good weather, chance to rest and my family being too busy with renovations to harass me, so I've had a sudden bout of creative energy. Not sure how long it will last, but I want to make the best of it while it's here :D
