Roy has always been a science guy

Well, okay. Not always. But yes, before the New 52.

I think we can all agree that New 52/RHATO Roy bears little to no resemblance to pre-52 Roy. Lobdell basically just took a stock 90s hacker character (Lobdell can only write stock 90s characters) and called him “Arsenal.” Which, sigh.

HOWEVER. This idea of “science genius Roy” is really entrenched in fandom now. Plus the way my brain works is I tend to try and figure out a way to synthesize contradictory elements of canon and make them work, rather than just going “no, that’s stupid” and ignoring it. Especially since this was the only version of Roy we had for like seven years.

And the thing is, 2000s canon? Makes a pretty good argument for “tech guy Roy.”

See, after I read all of RHATO and RH/A in 2020, I went back and reread the 2001 Green Arrow series, and I noticed Roy is consistently, unquestionably the techiest Arrow. Now, admittedly that’s a bit of a tallest hobbit situation, since Ollie and Connor are staunch Luddites and Mia has the scientific know-how of an ordinary teenage girl in the early to mid-2000s. (I bet she’s great at texting on a flip phone.)

But there’s this repeated and very cute thing where whenever a member of the Arrowfam busts out new tech, they’re like “Roy gave me this. 🥰 ” Which I love, because it makes Roy feel very present and part of the family even though he lives on the opposite side of the country at this point in canon.

But it also makes Roy come across as by far the most technologically savvy member of the family.

Roy invented a stun grenade arrow for Ollie!

He provides them with weird motorcycles!

Roy begging Ollie to evolve out of the 14th century is such a good mental image.

But wait, there’s more!

A GREEK FIRE ARROW. Roy out here reinventing lost 7th century technology and putting it on arrows.

A tiny arrow to put...in your pants? Okay.

Roy is so well known for his love of tech that Dr. Light knows about it, apparently! (Yes, Connor wielding an enormous gun while Dr. Light is racist towards him fucking sucks. Fun fact: this issue is why I rage quit reading GA on a monthly basis in 2006 and didn’t pick it back up again until Rebirth. This page wasn’t the only reason but it sure didn’t help.)

When Roy does show up on the page, he continues to be tech-savvy:

I love that he just had those tiny clippers on him.

The “Roy and Connor bond” issue is a delight on many levels but Roy casually turning his Ferrari into a thing we still can’t do nearly 20 years later is one of my favorite aspects. As is Connor affectionately teasing him.

This scientific prowess carries over into Outsiders, which isn’t a surprise because Judd Winick was writing both books at the time and he loves a techy Roy:

Roy worked with S.T.A.R. Labs, the best scientists in the DCU, to reprogram a robot from the distant future. Now, obviously that wasn’t successful because she was a Brainiac, but they were able to essentially create an AI with a complete personality existing alongside the Brainiac programming, which is pretty damn impressive. (He was also able to reactivate her in Graduation Day, also by Judd Winick.)

And he created a headquarters that responds to him like this without any visual commands or pressing any kind of buttons??? What???

Plus, he canonically specifically has a kink for fucking in that souped-up airship he mentioned up above. Oh, Roy.

Also, on a much simpler level, you can make a strong case that he’s more inclined to trick arrows than Ollie (and Connor actively thinks they’re ridiculous). He likes gadgets!

Now again, this is not me arguing that New 52 Roy was well-written or that RHATO was a good book. I feel like that version of Roy is, like I said, a 90s hacker who sometimes picks up a bow, and Roy should always be archery first, tech second.

But my inclination is always to try to reconcile canon as much as I can, and incorporate as much as possible into my versions of the characters, so when I write Roy, I tend to nod to the New 52 science aspect by going back to this era. I can’t really get on board with the boy genius stuff or the Roybots, but I’ll often have him messing around with new trick arrows in his downtime, because I like the idea that he’s a tinkerer who loves toys. He’s also been an all-around weapons expert since the early 90s (rather than just arrows), so it makes sense to me that he’d want that range (pun intended) to be as wide as possible.

In conclusion, Lobdell is a hack, but Roy is still a STEM guy, and he definitely has to fix Ollie’s phone every time he goes back to Star City.

Hello again! I've actually written the down some of my "Jason and the Spraypaint 'Thief'" idea tho its mostly scaffolding and i dont feel ready to share it just yet, but progress is being made!

If I may ask for your advice once more, the story has begun leaning towards Anger Management vibes (thanks for that brainrot too (affectionate)), but i dont feel great that the genesis of Jason and Jazz meeting is after Jason basically stalks Jazz in his hunt for whoever is buying his spraypaint before he can. Like, she is the one buying the paint, but the dynamic feels too onesided atm in terms of agency, but idk what Jazz would be doing that could parallel Jason.

The best Ive got is she tried to find out who bought out the yarn she was knitting with (it was Jason being petty), but I dont think she'd care as much as Jason does with the paint and it also feels too samey.

...Just had this thought while writing this, would it vibe with Jazz's character if she kept tabs on the Batfam for Danny? Like in terms of location. Ive got it that Danny dosnt want anything to do with the Batfam atm, Gothem is their turf fighting-wise and he dosnt want to encroach on that (tho he does help people in need when he comes across them), he just wants to make cool art in weird places (and maybe some ghost king stuff, not sure on that just yet) (maybe as a coping mechanism bc I do like the angst that comes from 'Danny leaves Amity bc the Fentons reactly badly to him being a halfa', tho still not sure how he gets into spraypaint yet, that feels like an important detail), so Jazz keeps tabs on their patrols for Danny so he can spraypaint without drawing their attention, and then Jazz notices Red Hood acting a bit odd and does her own investigating to make sure its not ghost business (she would know that RH has ghost vibes from Danny and his current spraypaint investigating behaviour maybe looks like a ghost obsession without context), and maybe she ends up pulling a Tim and figures out Red Hood is Jason, just due to ghost vibes instead of acrobatics.

I havent even gotten to them actually meeting in my planning yey, its just discovery eachother from afar and general thoughts of 'thats the person Im looking for, they're kinda cute' so far. Current vauge idea is they meet in a fight, tho i might be biased bc i did recently reread 'cant help falling (in love with you)' (i think i said this before, but amazing story btw, eagerly waiting for the next chapter!)

I hope this makes sense. This is the first time I've had an idea I've wanted to share with other fandom people and felt comfy enough to do so.

(your ask got sent twice so im gonna answer one and delete the other. Just Tumblr things I guess)

SO

I see Anger Management and go feral

I see what you mean about there being a power imbalance in their meeting situation - but we have to be aware that the source material is like that. Jason is a crime fighter and a vigilante and also a very extra boy. He is petty and arrogant and sometimes he is not above using his skills for personal use.

You can make it so she knows what's going on and leads him in a wild goose chase just for funsies. Make Jazz petty as well. Make her highly competent. Make her win in his own game and boom, no more power imbalance. (Also that can be a cool "I need to know more of this woman" kind of situation.)

Another alternative, is making her think he is stalking her for unsavory purposes and beat the shit out of him.

I like what you said about Jazz being the one that keep tabs on all the vigilantes. She could have profiled them all, studied their patterns, and Tim Drake her way into memorizing their patrol routes so Danny can paint in peace.

So that's why when her new stalker starts bothering her, she is so Done(tm) that she is not afraid to gatekeep, gaslight, girlboss her way into making him stop.

How she does it? Dealer's choice.

(I'm weak to the fight approach, if it wasn't obvious (✿◡‿◡) )

(But outsmarting him could work as well.)

(Jason is into women that can kick his ass, be it physically or in smarts)

So in conclusion I think if you want to not fall into icky power imbalances and not fall into highly competent Mary Sues tropes, the sweet spot would be Jazz making the choice to take act or not, and base it on actual conflict: If she can't just beat the shit out of him, explain why. If she is not going to make a deal out of it, explain why. Make the character have agency and a choice in the matter, even if that choice is inaction.

Thank you for showing me your progress!!!! I'm so happy when people make content for the crossover and my favorite ship!!!

Also thanks for reading my fics!

I've been rereading RHS for the nth time, unsurprisingly. I have over 20 WIPs for this goddamn Webtoon istg.

But I finally finished one and posted it the other day, so it's time I yap about dragon of my dreams. Aka, my Mook x Aru emotional hurt/comfort one shot that takes place the night of the series epilogue.

This post is long af. Obligatory "Honey, you've got a big storm coming" warning.

So originally this fic was supposed to be somewhat inspired by Mitski's Abbey, specifically this section:

There is a light that I can see But only, it seems, when there's darkness in me There is a dream that I sometimes see That only appears in the dark of sleep

In the end, the only allusion I included to the song at all was this

"… he is the light she sees when the world seems even the tiniest bit dark."

And the whole aspect of them being able to meet in Aru's dreams, which was honestly one of my "Gracie wants her ship to sail, so she'll bend the rules to make it happen" ideas.

The original concept portrayed Mook as only appearing before Aru in his dragon form and remaining completely silent, only showing her his human form and speaking to her for the first time in the dream after he saves her.

I'm too greedy to let that happen, however, and wanted more of an established friendship between the two. So then came the concept of a role reversal hurt/comfort one shot which is described pretty well by the summary.

Aru's oldest friend is a dragon who comforts her in her dreams. After she escapes a potentially fatal traffic incident unharmed, however, Mook is the one who needs comforting.

Mook honestly has such a huge burden by choosing not to reincarnate with Aru. He has to wait (presumably) nineteen years of her life just for one chance to change hers. If I were in that position, I would have so many doubts and worries. What if I'm too late? What if it doesn't work?

And even though he is relieved due to his success, now he might start worrying that he's of no use to Aru anymore. He's served his purpose of protecting her, but at the cost of his happiness.

“'I thought I’d be okay with watching you grow up. And I am so, so glad I can. I’m proud of who you’ve become. But it’s never been enough. Even this, being able to see you here…'”

Aru, despite not knowing anything of their time at Reincarnation High, recognizes that his selflessness is his biggest downfall. He has given everything to protect her, leaving him with little for himself. And, if not for my dream shenanigans, he would be left with nothing but remaining a bystander.

"'... You should make a choice for yourself, even if it's selfish.'”

Then, after some realization on Aru's part that Mook did in fact save her that morning, Aru asks him,

“'Why did you decide you needed to rescue me in the first place?'”

And it leads into the self-indulgent scene where Mook manipulates Aru's dream into some critical moments within their relationship. In order, these are:

The hand kiss scene from ep. 129

The Red Eclipse Festival dance scene from ep. 85

A scene from the Trip to Hell arc from ep. 48

The two flying above the garden in ep. 120

Mook's confession scene from ep. 104

The hair clip scene from ep. 52 (this one is a lot more subtle than the others but still included)

The balcony scene from ep. 130

And yes, I have screenshots of all of them...

Listing them out is a little jarring since, at first glance, they might seem like they have little to no correlation with each other.

And there's even more self-indulgence when Aru, because she's Aru, still doesn't understand why. Mook gives his reasoning (because he loves her), effectively freaking Aru out enough for her to wake up before she can actually respond.

And my final quote:

"Love is something I can try and understand. And if you do love me, Mook… you can have all of me, if that's what you really want."

Again, I'm really happy with how this fic turned out! I miss RHS so much, and I'll definitely be releasing more fan content for this series in the (hopefully) near future. And maybe one day I'll end up adding a second part going further into this concept because I think it's cute.

For those who read the fic or make it to the end of this post, thank you and stay safe! :)

Once again, The Final Stroke SPOILERS ahead

I happened to reread Rin's Birthday Story 2021... and wait, is it set just after RH break up, if you consider the time and everyone's whereabouts?

First, there's Mikhail, so it's not high school. Rin's first birthday after their graduation (he turns 19) is Feb 2 of the following year--which started with their "break up" (~Jan 1st, the New Year's night).

Second, in the birthday story Rin is training in Japan, not Sydney. FS1 doesn't specify his training location post All Japan and Sydney tournament, but we know he's in Japan at least for the winter holidays.

So, if this birthday story is supposed to be canon, it must be set a month after FS1 final scene (another possibility being that's a parallel universe or set way further into the future). Now keeping that in mind, try reading it again, especially these parts:

I can hear Haru’s breathing from the lane next to me. The water is hot.

This is a dream. I know that. But I keep swimming anyway. Haru’s pulse echoes through the water and I cut through that water with a rough stroke. My breathing naturally speeds up. It’s the first time I’ve felt this in a while. Even after I woke up from the dream, I felt a bit dazed from the after effects of it for a while.

Rin, who's dropped free, on his bd morning dreams about swimming with Haru 😭 (and sensing his pulse through the water, i swear RH swimming is the most sensual thing, no wonder it alludes to a wet dream so unsubtly)

Then, after his training session with Mikhail, he gets kidnapped by Makoto, Sousuke and Kisumi, meaning he's in Japan:

I got my bag and left the facility.

The next thing I knew, I was being grabbed by arms from behind. Since I was so surprised, my body froze.

“We’ve come to get you, Rin♡” “Sorry for surprising you!”

When I turned around I saw Kisumi and Makoto’s smiling faces.

“Huh!? Woah, you guys, what are you doing!?”

It was no use. They acted like they didn’t even hear my objections. They just kept pulling me and shoved me in the backseat of a car. There was a familiar face sitting in the driver’s seat.

“You’re in on this too? Sousuke?”

Now, I have no idea how in hell they organized the nostalgic party with the whole Samezuka gang + Reigisa's video message... And only Haru being mysteriously absent. But then we get this:

Suddenly Makoto sat next to me and pulled a wooden owl out of his pocket.

“This arrived at my place this morning. I think it’s probably a present for you.”

“Hm? What is this?”

Not understanding his words, I looked at Makoto. 

“I think since he’s at a high altitude training camp right now and can’t give it to you himself, he sent it to me”

Oh, I see. The one who sent this weird present was surely…… Makoto gave a small nod.

“Hehe, it kinda looks like you doesn’t it?”

I said “What’s with that?” and took the wooden owl* from Makoto while laughing. The more I look at it the less I understand his taste. But it’s really like him. I guess it can’t be helped, I’ll accept it.

My body was engulfed in heat. I made a promise in my head to start swimming even more like myself tomorrow. 

*owls are signs of good luck because the Japanese word for owl(fukuro) sounds similar to the japanese word for luck(fuku)

Haru didn't send it directly to Rin and instead sent to Makoto leaving him to guess what's it for. He didn't text a happy birthday message either. This subtle angst actually makes so much sense after FS1, turning a funny Haru being typical Haru episode into so much more omg. Just imagine Haru carving that owl in the camp, on his free time between sleep and the attempts to turn himself into a swimming machine, angrily talking himself into letting go but being unable to... Who even needs fanfics? I'm done.

UPD: Ok but this story is too good to not write a fanfic based on it, so I did it:

[decadentpostnacho]

I just found this (This is from acowar, first chapter, on the second page or something)

I am sorry for any spelling or grammar errors, its like 12 pm here and I just typed that on my phone because I had to, it makes me mad, honestly.

Mentions of rape, abusive behavior, possible SPOILERS ahead

We have to unpack this. I just came across it while rereading acowar (for research purposes) and I am now questioning Fe/yr/e's sanity. Is she really this dumb or? I'm sorry, but what the literal fuck should Tamlin and Lucien believe when she literally just disappeared and went to Rhy/sand without a word of goodbye, only to sent a LETTER (We're keeping in mind that Tamlin possibly still thought she was illiterate at that time.)

Then she came back and acted like Rhy/sand abused her, tortured and raped her and whatnot, which PERFECTLY fits into the image that dAdDy Rh/ys has crafted himself over CENTURIES, which was honestly a big brain move, especially if you want people to ever trust you again (The whole mask thing at that he is cruel to everyone except the Ic and seemingly the people of Velaris)

So Rh/ys has this "mask", that he has not "taken off" since I don't know how long and everyone thinks of him as an abuser, a murderer and someone who enjoys torturing people, he makes no attempt to show that he is not. (I'm just gonna ignore that he has a pretty distorted self-image, in a "I have a hero complex and can't understand that I'm not the hero" kind of way, and clearly thinks that he is wearing that "mask" himself)

AND THEN FEYRUG, WHO CAME BACK TO SPRING AFTER HER LITTLE LIGHTSHOW, TOLD THEM HE WAS ABUSING AND RAPING HER, WHICH IS WHAT THEY WOULD EXPECT FROM RHYSAND BECAUSE HE ACTS LIKE THAT, HAS THE AUDACITY TO BE MAD AT THEM FOR BELIEVING THE LIES SHE TELLS THEM HERSELF. HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT YOUR RHY/SAND IS NOT AN ASSHAT (WHICH HE IS), IF THIS IS THE ONLY ONE OF HIS MANY "SIDES" HE IS SHOWING THEM?! HOW?!

[jostenneil]

This is probably really strange but as a Jason fan I find myself thinking about Jason’s taste in literature quite often as I enjoy that being an area of interest for him, but I find what’s been presented in canon to be lacking in terms of thematic relevance. Anyways, one example that I think about a lot is that like baby!Jay would probably love The Outsiders & like how any emotional tie to the novel would get like more & more complex as time progresses & then I go a little insane. Like Ponyboy is someone that baby!Jay would probably relate to a lot & also draw like a very sweet sense of hope from, & I think that, especially after Gloria, he’d see himself a lot in Johnny. However, I think that the character who would be like most meaningful to him overtime would be Dally. Like I genuinely think RH!Jason would have a hard time reading Dally’s part of the story particularly & feel a sense of kinship w him a lot. Also post-resurrection Jason would not be able to read the death scenes like they would fuck w him too much. & also just the comparisons that can be made between Darry, Soda, & Pony + Bruce, Dick, & Jason. Sorry this is long, my rambling got away from me. I guess my point is that there a lot more interesting ways to explore Jason connecting with literature than just using Austen.

i AGREEEE like i said as much on twt but in what way is jason going to connect to women in victorian england looking to secure themselves financially via marriage. what is that going to do for him in any capacity. not that you can only read books if they "do" something for you but i just feel like austen wouldn't interest him as much as people suggest she would and that people are choosing her more for the fact that she's famous and popular and a mainstream feminist favorite or whatever (i know him reading p&p showed up in canon but i just mean the headcanon extension of him loving austen as a whole). i so agree with him having an interest in the outsiders tho like granted it has been nearly a decade since i last read it so my memories of the plot are Very hazy or almost nonexistent but i absolutely feel like he would relate to them and their struggles and gosh with the ponyboy and johnny comparisons esp [cries] this may prompt me to reread it actually or maybe at least rewatch the film (funnily enough my personal fc for jason is 80s era ralph macchio lmao) i can't believe i read and watched it in eighth grade i feel so oldjfkljldkhd

[wxste-lxnds]

Can we talk about ACOWAR and the library scene?

I’m up to this part of my reread in ACOWAR. When I first read this at, like, 14, I kinda glossed over it and moved on. I wasn’t interested in reading all the smut.

But now I’m older and have a different, more educated perspective on things and I have to say. I’m fucken disgusted.

Rhy/s and Fey/re go into the library and meet a Priestess who was gang r*pe at some point. She’s got ruined hands and no tongue as a result of this gangr*pe.

“A long time ago, Clotho was hurt very badly by a group of males,” Rhys said quietly. I didn’t need details to know what that had entailed. The edge in Rhys’s voice implied enough. “They cut out her tongue so she couldn’t tell anyone who had hurt her. And smashed her hands so she couldn’t write it.” (Maas, acowar).

“I made this library into a refuge for them. Some come to heal, work as acolytes, and then leave; some take the oaths to the Cauldron and Mother to become priestesses and remain here forever.” (Maas, acowar)

Rh/ys claims the library is a refuge for women who’ve experienced sexual violence/assault. Which, could’ve been a really nice thing. If this didn’t happen a few pages later:

““My blood heated a bit. “Hmmm,” was all I said, pulling a book toward me.

“I’ll take that hmmm as a challenge.” His hand slid down my thigh, then cupped my knee, his thumb brushing along its side. Even through my leathers, the heat of him seeped to my very bones. “Maybe I’ll haul you between the stacks and see how quiet you can be.”

“Hmmm.” I flipped through the pages, not seeing any of the text.

His hand began a lethal, taunting exploration up my thigh, his fingers grazing along the sensitive inside. Higher, higher. He leaned in to drag a book toward himself, but whispered in my ear, “Or maybe I’ll spread you out on this desk and lick you until you scream loud enough to wake whatever is at the bottom of the library.”

We go from discussing a very violent sexual assault, to Rhys trying to bone Feyre on the table, only in a few paragraphs. You cannot claim Sarah Janet is a feminist and promotes healthy sexual relationships when this is what she’s feeding to young and impressionable teenagers. If you can’t see something wrong with this entire chapter, you are the problem.

realized when i delved a bit into the rote fandom during my rh reread last spring that i’m def a fitz apologist. so many people are incredibly mean to him and i’m like. he’s never done anything wrong ever

[theriverdalereviewer]

So the Riverdale plot lines are as follows. Archie is trying to rejuvenate both the high school football team and the fire department, while also being an ROTC instructor. 20 something girls are missing around Riverdale, including Polly, and Betty is trying to get to the bottom of it. Veronica...is beefing with Hiram...again. Jughead is writing a new novel and somehow aliens will be incorporated. Cheryl thinks her home is cursed and is selling counterfeit paintings and battling Toni over control of her old high school’s cheer squad.

PAUSE. that was a lot to take in i had to reread it a couple of times 😭 now let me give you my thoughts anon. i thought archie was in the military?? why is he coaching football and what the fire department have to do with that?? couldn’t the writers just choose one or the other why make him do both that seems kind of disorganized for one character. and since he’s out of the military wouldn’t the rotc training make the most sense anyways? next: as usual betty’s storyline sounds the most promising but knowing that there are fucking aliens roaming it kind of takes away the excitement lol never been a fan of alien plots not gonna start now. as for veronica i think i’ve said every single possible thing i could say about her. it’s the same conflict since season 2 at this point the writers really don’t give a fuck so it’s no even worth it. and with choni i just don’t get why they want to bring everything back to RHS. whole point of last season was to get all of the HS stuff out of the way and focus on adult things but fighting over the vixens is very HS. and the other cheryl thing just isn’t interesting 😐

[scandalsavagefanfic]

hey so like.. if sheila really is jason's mom... why does he still say that his mom was a good person? he always talks about his horrible dad but he only ever mentions his mom's drug addiction, never the fact that she was complicit in his murder? she's highkey worse that willis, no?

So for starters (and this is actually the last thing I’m writing in this response because below this I went on a whole rant about how much I hate Sheila and then I reread your ask and realized there might be a little confusion) when Jason mentions his mom, he’s definitely referring to Catherine. Because she is the woman he knows, the woman who ‘raised’ him, the woman who was there during his childhood. She’s the only mother he knows. Sheila is just the egg donor who gave him life only to murder him when he finds her later.

Sheila is 100%, HIGH KEY, the absolute worst. I can’t possibly overstate how much I hate Sheila. She is despicable. Because, imagine you read A Death in the Family for the first time. Maybe you know that Jason dies in the end. Maybe you’ve heard on the interwebz, or 90′s comics, that he gets himself killed, that he’s reckless and he disobeys Bruce’s orders. But you don’t know the story. 

That was me. I knew nothing about Jason’s search for his bio-mom and Sheila when I went into that book. And maybe, like me, this is your introduction to Robin!Jason.

So it opens with Jason going half-cocked on some child pornographers and Bruce is understandably worried because Jason almost died but at the same time you’re like... child pornographers are the scum that grows on scum and Jason is a child so like... we feel where you’re coming from Robin, no big deal that’s not really reckless, you’re just a passionate kid (because you don’t know anything about Jason’s past on the streets, hinted at in issues leading up to this one and you don’t know that Jason may have a personal reason for having a grudge against sex offenders and child abuses but it doesn’t really matter because, like, child pornographers!). 

So Bruce benches Jason for dumb reasons I won’t go into (and maybe you’re not a total newb like I was, maybe you’ve read a little of Jason’s Robin run before this in Batman and Detective Comics so you think it’s pretty ooc for Bruce and Jason to not discuss things). 

Then Jason finds his birth certificate and the name is smudged but it definitely can’t be Catherine’s. So Jason does some research and since he and Bruce are still on the outs, and Bruce is busy tracking down the Joker, Jason, who has been trained as a detective and crime fighter, tracks down three possibilities for his bio-mom. 

Skipping ahead, after they fight off Lady Shiva and ask if she’s ever had a kid, because she’s option #2 (option #1 was an Israeli spy and like... how did low level henchman Willis Todd end up with these deadly, badass women?) they walk away and Bruce asks Jason if he really would have wanted a woman like Shiva to be his mother and I BET THE ANSWER IS DIFFERENT NOW!

Because then they get to Sheila and I can finally say that what makes her awful is that she sells her story. I’m reading this for the first time, and I have no idea what happens, just that somehow Jason gets from meeting his birth mother to dead in a blown up building.

And if you’re reading it like that, you’re right there with Jason. You understand why she left him, she’s sympathetic and you feel for her and you think “That is so sad, at least they can have a relationship now”. 

So then the Joker shows up and surprise, surprise, comic book worlds are small and he and Sheila have a past. 

Joker wants drugs and he threatens to expose Sheila’s past doing abortions, which, in the 80′s may have been meant to make her slightly less sympathetic but now just kind of makes her a victim of a dumb system. Anyway, one of those went bad and she accidentally killed someone and fled the country. 

So Sheila takes Joker to the warehouse and you’re thinking, that sucks but Bruce Wayne is there and maybe he can replace the drugs Joker stole, Sheila is in a tough place. 

Then she stands by when Joker replaces a shipment of life-saving drugs with his deadly Joker gas and you go ‘uh... ok... not... not really much she can do I guess...”

Jason is watching this go down, recognizes that this is too much for him, and runs off to get Bruce.

That’s when Bruce and Jason split up. Someone has to stop the shipment from being delivered or a bunch of people will die. Their Land Rover isn’t fast enough to catch the cargo trucks and all they have is a one-man, fold-up helicopter! (It’s exactly as contrived as it sounds but hey, comics. 80′s. Whatever.)

Bruce pleads with Jason to wait for him. Jason agrees but as soon as Bruce speeds off, Jason makes the comment “Sorry Bruce, but that’s my mother in there with that lunatic.”

And here’s where I’d like to take a minute and say... I know a lot of Jason fans hate Starlin and ok, I get it. But I... don’t really. Because here’s the thing, he set it up, he could have had Jason barge in, guns blazing (as the saying goes), and while it may have been ‘reckless’ it would STILL would have been understandable. Because Jason is a kid who has been trained in combat, who has just found his mom after both his other parents left him to fend for himself on the streets. Whether he meant to or not, Starlin set this up for Jason to be beyond reproach regardless of how he ended up in that warehouse.

But, and this is important, he didn’t have Jason do that at all. Jason tells his mom, who has, until this moment, seemed to be a humanitarian thrilled to be reunited with the son she never thought she’d see again. He tells her he’s Robin and tries to stop her from going back into the warehouse.

She fucking lures a child, her child, who she was genuinely happy to see an hour ago, into the hands of the Joker because he’s Robin and that means Batman is around and she’s been embezzling funds from the relief organization. She points a gun at her child, asks the Joker what he wants to do with him, gives one pained expression to steel herself, and smokes a fucking cigarette while the the Joker beats her child to death.

Then, when the Joker predictably betrays Sheila, and Jason turns out to not be beaten to death, he drags his broken, bleeding body across the floor and unties her. When they can’t get out because the Joker had the foresight to lock the door, Jason throws his broken, bleeding body in front of hers in a last ditch effort to save a woman who very literally sent him to his death. 

So. Now that I’ve covered my undying rage for Sheila and explained why, yes, she is inarguably the worst of Jason’s shitty parental figures, I can get to the rest of you’re ask.

In Universe reason why Jason doesn’t talk about Sheila: Because she murdered him. Because she’s an egg donor and nothing more. Catherine may have been too drugged up to really raise Jason, but she’s the closest thing he has to a caregiver. My adopted cousins call my aunt mom. She’s the only ‘mom’ they talk about. I don’t know if they know who their bio-moms are, but they wouldn’t stop calling my aunt ‘mom’ just because they met them. My aunt is the one who provided for them and raised them. She’ll never stop being they’re mother. Catherine will always be who Jason considers his mother. 

Real life reason why Jason doesn’t talk about Sheila: Option 1 - Lobdell hasn’t read “A Death in the Family”. Option 2 - Lobdell forgets the details of “A Death in the Family”. Option 3 - Lobdell has his own headcanon for Jason’s past that he desperately wants to make canon but DC won’t let him because “A Death in the Family” hasn’t been out of print since it dropped, so he just writes RH like his headcanon is canon and as long as he doesn’t explicitly contradict one of DC’s most popular books he can do what he wants.

I've been rereading some RH chapters and I just finished Storm. I can't remember if you've written the actual "moving in" conversation. If not, is it something you'd consider writing?

Title: Sunday Morning BreakfastSummary: Getting Graham used to the routine.Note: RH verse. I think other people have requested this, too, (including you all the way back at Storm!) and I am finally getting around to it :) It;s short, but I am getting the muse back in shape.

               Grahamclicked across the screen, scrolling through the report. The words were dry andplaced, the investigating officer writing almost as if using canned responsesto each piece of evidence. He growled at the back of his throat, irritated atthe lack of effort that was put into it the first time around.              

               She’djust been a kid. Just a little older than Henry.

               Heglanced up over the hood of his laptop. Henry was on the couch across from him,feet curled up underneath and game controller in hand. His hair was messy, andhe was still in his band t-shirt and pajamas, brow furrowed in concentration.

               Grahamhesitated, rolling the cursor over the words again before glancing up. “Ipromise I’m almost done.”

               Henryhit the pause and gave a half smile. “No rush.” He sat up a bit and eyed him.“What kinda case is it?”

               Grahamrubbed the back of his neck and considered his answer. “About fifteen yearsold. A girl went missing near Julliard and was found near 101st.”

               Henry’sface dimmed a bit before he nodded knowingly. “Oh, so an old homicide?”

               Henodded with a grimace. “And the first guy really didn’t know what he waslooking for,” he grumbled. He sighed heavily and clicked from the initialreport to the witness list.

               “Isthat why you got called in yesterday? Even though there was the storm?” heasked.

               “Exactlywhy,” he said and ran his hand through his hair. He blew out a low breath. “Lazothought she caught something in the photos and wanted back up for interviews.But it ended up being a dead end. Now I need to comb through it again and seeif I can come up with a few new theories before Monday’s meeting.”

               Henryperked up. “Can I help?”

               Hewinced, already feeling like he would be in trouble with Emma for saying asmuch as he did. “Let’s ask your mom when she gets back.”

               Heslumped against the back of the couch and flicked his game back to active. Hedidn’t even glance up as he responded, “she wanted to ask you something, so I’msure she’ll be back soon.”

               Heraised an eyebrow. “Ah, really? Do you know what that something is?”

               Henry’sface was suddenly impassive, the click on the buttons loud as the TV boomedwith answering explosions. “I have an idea.”

               Grahamsnickered, expecting that the lad had much more than an idea. Emma had beenbrimming with excitement when he showed up for breakfast, though it quicklyturned sour when she’d gotten a call. She had made him promise to work in theliving room until she got back. He also didn’t miss the look shared betweenmother and son, the silent conversation that took place that he only halfcaught on to – the ‘save it’ that was justinterpretable.

               “D’youhave to go out a lot like that? I mean, get called in for stuff even at nightand weekends and stuff?” Henry asked, the sounds of shooting and demons dyingnearly drowning his words.

               Graham highlighteda witness and linked the report, and then nodded absently to Henry’s question.“Not a whole lot, but it’s still part of the job. If I was in a different unit,it’d happen a lot more frequently, but usually we have some more leeway in coldcases.”

               “Well …I guess that’s better,” Henry said at length. “Is it dangerous?”

               Grahamlooked up again. Henry was deliberately not looking at him, though he noticedhis Adam’s apple bobbing. He closed the laptop and set it to the side. “It canbe,” he answered honestly. “But I know how to keep myself safe, too.”

               Henrysighed and paused his game again. He turned in his seat and met his eye. “Iknow. All the guys down at the precinct say you’re good at this.”

               The airwas heavy after he said it, words unspoken that Graham didn’t have to readinto. “It’s easier than having to keep alive in the woods,” he said and crackeda smile.

               Henrydidn’t smile back, and instead slumped back onto the couch. “Graham …,” hetrailed off, collecting his thoughts. “Did—did you—“

               Hewaited calmly as Henry collected his thoughts.

               He blewout a low breath and his green eyes shaded. “Were you in Heaven?”

               Grahamstartled a bit. Oh, that. “I think you’ve been watching too much TV,” he said,a lame attempt at lightening the mood.

               Henrydidn’t fall for it, dark eyes wide and steady on his.

               Herubbed the back of his neck and rose, pacing the length of the couch beforesitting next to him. He stared at his hands a long moment, piecing through hismemories. He didn’t want to give the boy any less than what he really thought.“No, I don’t think so,” he began, squinting as he tried to focus. It felt …hazy. Not like Storybrooke memories, but hazy nonetheless. “I don’t think I wasin the other place, either. But it was dark and cold and … I think I was justwaiting.”

               Henryseemed to think that over. “Maybe because you were meant to come back to us?”he asked hesitantly.

               Grahamwould love to say that was the reason, wanted so much to reassure him withthat. But he had never really thought of himself with a purpose more than a cog.Luck was all he would attribute to what he was allowed to have here. “I don’tknow about that, Henry,” he said finally, and then leaned back against thecushions. “Something must have happened when the spell was cast and undone. ButI just don’t know what that was. What’s harder … I don’t know if we’ll everknow for sure why I’m able to be here with you guys.”

               Henryfrowned, obviously unsatisfied with the answer. “But you’re glad to be here,right?”

               Grahamgrinned, the sudden flood of happiness sharp and poignant. He threw an armaround Henry’s shoulders and squeezed him in. “Absolutely, Henry. I couldn’timagine anywhere better.”

               Henrypeeked up and grinned back, eyes light and happy. “Okay,” he said, and thentossed an arm around to make the hug real. “I’m glad you’re here, too,” hesaid, muffled into his shirt.

               Thedoor creaked and clattered, and Emma bounded in, muttering under her breath.She paused when she saw them and swiped a hand through her messy curls. “Good.You’re here. Now we can get back to breakfast.”

               Henrypopped his head up, beaming. “I’ll get the cocoa!”

               Grahamblinked in bewilderment at the sudden flurry of activity as Emma joined him inthe kitchen. “Uh, what’s going on?” he asked.

               Emmaclattered a pan onto the stovetop and turned with a glint in her eye.“Breakfast.”

               “Thisis our routine!” Henry chimed in from deep in the fridge. He came out with armsladen with eggs and milk and a package of bacon. “Every Sunday we do this,because it’s when we have the most time together.”

               “Suddencall-ins notwithstanding,” Emma said sullenly, then leaned over to kiss herson’s forehead. “We get a big breakfast together, one that’ll last for a couplemeals. Then we pile on the couch and watch a good-bad movie or two, then decidewhat special treat we want during the week.”

               “Specialtreat?” he asked.

               Henrynodded and went back to the fridge. “Since mom works a lot and I get a lot ofhomework, we get to choose one special treat so that we’re sure to do somethingtogether that’s just for fun.”

               “Like alevel of his video game, or a night out to Jacob’s, or the planetarium, or outto a museum,” Emma supplied.

               “Butthat’s not until later, and that always changes. This part is always the sameexcept for the food!” Henry called from the depths of the fridge.

               Grahamgrinned and stood up, brushing off his pants as he approached the counter.“Well, then, can I help? Or would I be breaking the routine?”

               Henrypopped back up with a handful of vegetables. “You can help dice,” he cocked hishead to the side. “I haven’t seen you cook a lot yet, but we gotta find something for you to do every Sunday.”

               “Hey,now, I can cook—“ His eyebrow popped up as the statement hit him, and he lookedover to Emma. She was avoiding his eyes, whisking eggs in a big yellow bowl.“Every Sunday?” he asked.

               Shehuffed a sigh and set down the bowl, and then placed her hands on her hips.“Well, yeah. That is if you wanna stay here.”

               “Huh?”he asked, brows furrowing.

               Henrydropped his elbows on the counter and then placed his chin in his hands. “Wewant to ask you to move in,” he said simply.

               “Move—“he looked sharply to Emma.

               Shegave a half-smirk, and shrugged one shoulder. Emma reached and tugged through Henry’shair anxiously. “The kid and I discussed yesterday. We thought it might beeasier if you didn’t have to go back to an empty apartment at the end of theday. And we kinda like you. It’d be nice to have you here all the time.”

               Grahamopened his mouth, but no words came. He pushed against the counter and pressedhis lips together a moment before responding. “You guys are settled here, Idon’t want to impose—“

               “Whosaid you’re imposing?” Emma said. She pushed the eggs over and glanced at himpointedly. “So long as you help.”

               Helooked over them both, catching the equal amounts of nervous, excited energy.Slowly, a smile began to tweak at his lips, so much that he had no control overit. “You’d want me here?”

               “Weneed to stick together,” Henry replied with a sharp nod.

               Grahamgrabbed the bowl. “Really?”

               “Really,”Henry chirped.

               “Really,”Emma reiterated, then handed him a pepper grinder from beside the burners. “We’reall here for some weird, cosmic reason. I like the idea of being together onpurpose.”

               He lookeddown at the bowl of eggs and carefully began adding the spices. “Well, I guessI should get packing.”

               Henryperked up. “For real?”

               Grahamlaughed, still feeling a little disbelief. “Why wouldn’t I want to be with youand your mom?” He ruffled his hair playfully. “I like the idea of beingtogether on purpose, too.”

               “Good,”Emma said, her sparkling eyes betraying the attempt at nonchalance. She movedaround the island and stepped on tiptoes to peck at his lips. “We’ll have youpick the movie, then.”

               If thiswas the reason he was here, he couldn’t say it was a bad one.

               Maybehe’d even eventually believe they were meant for this: together.

When I reread my recent post about my memory of being a toddler at a concert, I was concerned that it implied that I thought kids attending adult activities, especially ones they can’t handle developmentally (read: can’t sit still and shut up for) is a good thing. I actually don’t think that, but I figured I’d wait and ask my dad over Thanksgiving about the concert in question to find out what the deal was, and then I’d post a clarification. Well HA- turns out the universe handed me an opportunity to clarify before that!

Last night I saw Robyn Hitchcock (solo, acoustic). It was an 8-11pm show which ended up being in a small room with cramped, tiered seating for about 200, the “stage” being the floor area just in front of the first row of seats. (I think it was an old theater balcony converted to its own show space, just to give you an idea. Not what I expected, but that’s another story). A couple rows behind me I was surprised to see a mom and dad with two boys in the 2-4 year old age range. There was some grumbling about this from the people around me, but I hoped the parents knew what they were doing and maybe the boys would fall asleep. But when RH came on, the boys kept chattering, and I heard one of them go “He’s pwaying a guitar!” and the mom respond “That’s right! He’s playing a guitar!” and I thought, hoo boy, this is not going to end well.

Long story short, the kids chattered off and on with their high pitched kid voices for about 5-6 songs (and even, mortifyingly, seemed to imitate RH’s singing for a couple seconds) and there were shushing sounds that I assumed were from the parents and sounds of exasperation from people nearby, when finally a woman in front of them says something directly to them (I didn’t hear what) and the dad says, no, not sorry, but “Thanks a lot, I was enjoying the show!”. To which she says “I’m trying to enjoy it, but I can’t hear anything!”, and he snipes back, at which point other people jump in to defend her and it was just ugly, but dad doesn’t budge. Finally mom walks one of the kids out, but with the seating layout this means walking him toward the stage to get to the exit, and OF COURSE he starts crying but rather than pick him up and swiftly exit, she keeps doing that slow kid walk. But at least they were gone. Dad remained for at least a song, just to prove a point I guess, and then finally left with the other kid.

I dunno, I partly blame the venue because I checked their policies afterward and it said shows are all ages. Which means in the rare case when parents think it’s ok to bring their preschoolers to a small, quiet show well past their bedtime, it becomes the audience’s job to police the situation. It would be so much easier to say “No one under 8″, which seems reasonable. (there was a girl there who appeared to be about 9 who did fine and then fell asleep). And I can see how the parents might have just misjudged the whole thing and a policy would have prevented that (of course, they should have left quickly after a song or two once it became obvious the kids were a problem. Also dad is an asshole with major red flags). I’m thinking of emailing the venue, but who knows, maybe the parents were friends of the owners or something and I should butt out. I did talk to the woman who spoke up afterwards and thanked her, and she seemed way more chill than I would have been.

Anyway, kids, yeah. Love them. But not everything is “family friendly”, nor need it be.

( * kyong dae-hyun. )

♡ — * » KYONG DAEHYUN looks so cute on the beach !! apparently, ( he/they ) come from ( south korea ) and are a ( twenty ) years old ( pansexual ) ( demiboy ) ( med student ). other hotel residents described them as ( gentle + sage ), but also ( ambivalent - faint-hearted ). don’t you think they look a bit like ( PARK JIMIN ) ?

WARNING: this is really long, my dudes. so long.

hello hi hi, it’s SKY ( 2-o, she/her, cest tz, but an insomniac ) & this is my smol blob of confusion, so if their story confuses you, i succeeded. also this is easily my absolute favourite character ever, so ,,, idk random info. ALSO: i have an exam tomorrow, my peeps, so i don’t think i’ll be around till tomorrow but !! i can’t wait to plot & interact with all of you.

SORTA BIO THING:

[ MISCARRIAGE TW ] kyong daehyun was born in daegu, south korea on the 22nd of february 1997. they were sort of a miracle baby bc their mom went through two miscarriages before them ( she’s rh negative & the babies were rh positive n ,,, i wont explain the biology behind it, im sure yall know that ). they’re an only child. they’ve always wanted a sibling ( an older one ,,,, they always want the impossible things smfh ). so yeah, they were a bit lonely while growing up

they were a very weak child who’d fall ill quite often (their family used to call them aga/aggie/babybc of it … sorta stuck with them to this day ), so much that it affected their education. the poor bean skipped a lot of classes, so eventually their parents decided it was best for them to leave school. they were homeschooled !! altho they now have incredible work ethic bc of this, they didn’t have many friends while growing up :( they sorta didnt even get the chance to develop n test their social skills. they came in contact with their parents, nannies, parents’ business partners, etc … long story short, they were surrounded by adults. this made them VERY mature for their age, even back then.

the greatest discovery of their life was the internet. they had little interest in sports & going outside, so they’d spend their free time glued to the screen of their laptop, either watching movies, youtube videos & tv shows or getting to know strangers from across the world thanks to various websites & apps. they’d often stay up all night n ruin their sleep pattern in order to talk to their friends from other timezones. they made them so happy. so. happy.

their parents sort of made them pursuit a medical career, though, they literally have -10 interest in it. not 0. -10. they just want to make them proud, ok ?? especially since they’ve always been an incredible student n studying came easily to them. they were praised while growing up, so naturally they started thinking they were exceptional as well.

COLLEGE ! they. hate. it. hate it. like, they are fallin apart n are like “wow so what is this, i thought i was smart ?? they told me i was the most intelligent kid in the world wHY cant i do literally anything now w o w im so average yUCK”.  i mean, they still get good grades, but they ARE struggling.

[ PROFESSOR/STUDENT RELATIONSHIP THING TW ] … idk maybe someone’s triggered by that. anyway, there was a class that made them 11/10 done with life & they were sure they’d fail it n ruin their entire life, so they approached the professor ( who ,,, was rly hot n made hyunnie weak in the knees ok ) n were like “i will literally do ANYTHING in order to pass this class ,,,,,, pls”. like, they had 0 shame bc they were so done with it. n ,,, long story short, they ended up sleeping with the professor … ,,, multiple times. t was bc of the grade the first time, but … they’re pretty much in love with him now. and they’re a bit foolish, they hope he’s in love with them too. n idk they sort of dream about being in a real relationship with them.  l mao … my poor kiddo.

COOLER INFO THING:

nicknames include: hyunnie, dee, mochi ( i have to steal that from jiminieeee bc yes. my squishy bol of cuteness ), aga/aggie/baby. or just call them dae or  hyun honestly

daehyun is a demiboy ( they/them or he/him. if you refer to them as she/her, they will feel uncomfortable, but they will not have the guts to correct you. lmao one time they watched a woman make them european-style pancakes with nutella & cherries, even though they asked for a nutella/banana combo. they did not correct her. they ate half of it, left with a pout on their face n were sad for the rest of the day tHATS HOW ANXIOUS N SHY THEY ARE BYE ). anyway, as i said   ——   demiboy. panromantic ( very romantic, a huge dreamer. the type to imagine cute scenarios with their crush before falling asleep ). pansexual, though the most attracted to masculine physique buT !! they’re too self-conscious n emotion-dependent that they can’t have sex with just about anyone. n o. byee. like, the thought of getting naked in front of someone is terrifying to them, so they really need to trust n know the person. i wouldn’t call them demisexual though, since they do experience sexual attraction without having an emotional bond, they just … can’t let go of their ~stupid insecurities~

[ FOOD TW ] they don’t eat meat. yes, they do love animals n feel sad about those poor things, but that’s not the main reason why they don’t eat it. the smell, the look, the taste of meat makes them incredibly sick. when they were smol & had any sort of meat for lunch, they’d sit at the table for 5 hours n eat everything BUT the meat. most of the time, they used to give it to their dog who was v chubby bc of them. lunch was the worst time of the whole day for them, it was suuuuuuuper bad, especially since their parents didn’t understand their problem n called them spoiled. now that they are away from home, they’re super happy cause they can eat whatever they want ( sweets n pastries ). this bish ALWAYS has a lollipop in their mouth n a candy bar with them.

why are they obsessed with lollipops ? thanks to them they destroy their nails n cuticles LESS when bored, since their mouth is occupied. you can determine how life’s goin for daehyun just by looking at their hands. when everything’s good, their nails are painted ( the execution n design also say a lot about how much free time they have n how clear their head is ). when everything’s shit, they aren’t painted, they are bloody and sore, skin completely damaged, so much that it hurts to touch items with the very tips of their fingers. everything burns n they’re wincing 25/8.

they always have literally everything with them. you need a tissue, a comb, a hair brush, a band-aid, a hand sanitizer, a nail polish, some water, something sweet, a set of stem cells & a cure for every illness in the world ?they have it all. they’re always prepared for every situation. this is bc of their huge fear of facing a situation for the first time unprepared. also … you should never make them order food on their own or make a serious phone call or wtvr bc .. they can’t do that.

they’re fluent in english, but pls don’t throw big words at them :( they feel so embarrassed when they don’t know what something means. they go home & write the new word on one of their colourful cards, along with its translation to korean, a smol explanation & an example sentence n they have loads of those cards that they reread whenever they have time. when they learn a new word, they love showing off lmao dumbass

while they were back in korea n spending time on youtube, they used to watch a lot of kpop mvs + makeup tutorials n fell in love with makeup n wanted to look as beautiful as the people in those videos. they started stealin their mother’s makeup n used to be awful at paintin’ their face, but got better with time. they used to save money for eyeliners n primers n highlighters n all sort of shit n they’d hide all the products in their room n play with them whenever they were home alone. they know it’s their true passion& call, but they are so discouraged by the fact that they can’t even walk outside wearing makeup. they aint confident enough & still don’t think they can pull it off.

they made a new youtube account with the intention to post their own tutorials, but … mm, there’s still 0 uploaded videos on that channel

i’ve been struggling to decide which hair colour to go with … black, platinum blonde, silver or pink n i chose …pink.

they’ve never been in an actual relationship. never cuddled, or did couple-y things. their professor took their virginity, so … ya. that’s one of the reasons why they’re refusing to let him go.

[MEDICATION TW] as i mentioned before, they were a weak child who was often sick and had bad migraines ,,, this sort of got them hooked on medication ?? like, they will convince themself that their head is hurting and jus pop a pill without any need to do so ,,,, like, they are 110% sure they need pills to function normally every single day.

nature !! the world !! they love it.

aesthetics hoe !!!!!!!!! will sell their soul for the things that please their senses

they know how to draw well. they lololololove drawing comic book characters. like, they have their own characters already

dancing !!! especially contemporary ! bc ,,, i have a lot of those gifs n icons that i gotta use

loves apples ?

wants a cat. d e s p e r a t e l y

PERSONALITY:

i think it’s quite obvious that they’re a very anxious, shy & alert person 24/7 and i guess that you can see how their upbringing had a lot to do with it. i don’t view their shyness as cute and adorable, but they definitely aren’t grim either. they’re just closed-off. they’re not used to sharing personal stuff with other people, at least not face to face. online, everything’s different.

most of the time they’re like … “uhhhhh, people - i’d rather not. that can get me in a lot of awkward n uncomfortable situations n i’d rather avoid that’. they don’t find solitude depressing. they enjoy their alone time, they find comfort in it. they are very aware of the fact that their social skills suck & as i said a part of them doesn’t give a damn, but … another part is worried bc if they truly want to be in the makeup world, they will have to learn to be a people person, have a fantastic charisma n ,, talk to people ? lmao

their zodiac sign is pisces n they HATE IT lol they’re like “i’m not a whiny baby emo dreamer ew go away” so they keep telling people that their zodiac sign is aquarius bc it’s close enough n they find them cool n admire the description of the seemingly stoic sign that goes through life with their brain rather than their heart. they love to think that they’re strong n logical, that they’re not emotional … but that’s not the case. it’s all an act really

once you demolish their shell, you’ll find the most adorable creature in the whole entire universe ?/ they also love tellin stupid jokes. they almost never finish them bc they laugh too hard at em

they get attached to people VERY easily n then they can’t live without them n that freaks them the fuck out. like. they fall in love ten times a day. im. not. kiddin.

they’re all about living life to the fullest, they just have a bit different vision of what true livin is lmao

philosophical af ? hates small talk, always wants to talk abt deep shit

the type to send you memes and stuff that reminds them of you

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

this is so important. online friends. they met online a couple of years ago ( we’ll figure out how ) n now they’re both here and ? hyunnie is so scared to meet them bc they’re afraid that person won’t like them irl, but the desire is bigger than the fear !

similar to the previous one, but it was a long distance relationship ( it ended bc the distance was too much ig ). they only chatted, but they know everything about each other. they were infuriated every single day bc they couldn’t physically feel each other, but they still planned a future together, or at least meeting irl … maybe they now finally have a chance ?

crush. as i said, hyunnie falls quickly for a person. it can be unrequited. it’s just someone they daydream about n sigh over. or it can be the other way around, but hyunnie is quite clueless n doesn’t pick up on their hints.

friends ?? the plot depends on your charrie tbh but dw about it, i usually have 57430865026701348 ideas, so ya.

i have no idea what else ,,,, imma go make a wanted connections tag n reblog some plots probably. bUT HEY feel free to send plots my way, i luv that

4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue? (Redefining Home)

Fanfic Asks

ACKKK, I LOVE the dialogue in RH. I mean, not to sound obnoxiously vain about my writing or anything, but I seriously love it when I go and reread.

Honestly, my first inclination is to say Entitlement, Part 2. I needed that moment for Henry so badly, and I love the shape it took. 

A quieter moment that I really love is from Failures and Archetypes. I just really loved this idea of Graham reassuring her that she might have lost that title of Savior once the curse broke, but that that is OKAY. That she could lose all the implications of it, but she would be just as loved by Henry (especially, since she still has those feelings of inadequacy) and him. 

I don’t know, I just really think a lot of show Emma’s worth is tied to her being the Savior (at least in her mind, especially in 1x08 but also throughout the series), and I wanted to address that.

Thank you for asking!!!!!
