merlin’s secret being a visual thing. when he is around arthur or gwen or leon or morgana or [insert whatever character here] merlin seems pale and thin, almost like a ghost or an apparition. when the sun lands on him he reflects it like a corpse, he eyes seem dark and dull. he has this ethereal beauty to him, this otherworldly visage that leads many to believe he is of fae blood. he just doesn’t seem to be 100% human. but when he is ONLY with lancelot or gaius (cough or gwaine bc gwaine DEFINITELY knew) merlin is heartachingly human. merlin shines in the sunlight, colors are brighter and more vibrant around him, and his smiles are wide and his laughs are boisterous. he takes on color and leaves everyone wanting to know him. but when other join in or interact with the two, merlin shifts before their eyes so quickly and suddenly that they aren’t sure whether or not what they saw was a trick of the light. the idea still leaves them wanting more and wanting to see the merlin who is just so full of life but that merlin only appears for a small select group of people. merlin who has a guard so high that it has an effect of other’s perception of him.

Grim probably has no concept of romance and intimacy so he's forever a clueless third-wheeler who will absolutely cockblock you at any given opportunity.
So whenever 🐉🌸 are starting to get a bit touchy, Grim would just barge into the room from wherever he came from, shouting "HEY, I'm starving!"
🌸 would instantly pull away from 🐉, but he'd refuse to let them go until Grim hops onto the bed and excitedly bounces between them.
🐱: "Dinner time! Dinner time! Hornton, you gonna stay for some grubs too?"
🐉: "I would... gladly take on that offer. I suppose."
🐱: "Well you gotta contribute dessert then! No such thing as a free meal. Come on henchman!"
🐱: "Why're you in your undies though?"
🌸, grabbing a pillow as a shield: "Get, get out of my room first--"
🐱: "'Kaaay."
🐱: "Let's go Hornton! We gotta start whipping up those cakes!"
🐉 just sighs, picks up his shirt, and lets the cat monster awkwardly drag him by the leg.

Au where Danny became a halfa at a very young age but instead of popping out of the portal as Phantom, he appeared in a the DCU and caused the formation of another Lazarus Pit. Danny slept inside the pit, too scared to come out for a long time. His instincts told him to stay hidden from these people so he did.
Well, until he heard about the "Demons Head" having a grandson a little bit younger than him and decided to invisably follow the wierd ninjas back to thier leader. He was so lonely, hopefully this Damian would be good to play with.
This is how Damian got his "Imaginary Friend"
Danny only ever showed himself once to Talia after she scolded Damian for lying and Danny didn't want Damian to get in trouble. Talia then switched gears to "Wait, how did you get in here?"
"The puddle."
Talia paused for a moment, considering what that meant before asking for clarification. Needless to say when she found out this perfectly human looking boy was some type of monster that had crawled out of the Lazarus Pit to play with her son she was a little shaken.

Man, I want shapeshifter cap SO BAD.
I want to see a Billy that really leans into the wonder of the world, the million paths a child could take in their life.
I want to see a Billy that wants to try everything, at least once.
A Billy that looks at all the people who spit at him, deride him, pity him, dismiss him, ignore him, because he has no future, no prospects, a child in the gutter and say no. I'm going to grow up to be whoever I want to be.
And a captain marvel that says you're going to be amazing.
Billy taking the premise of captain marvels form - his ideal self, a blank slate for Billy to paint his bright colours, the person he wants to be deep inside - and dialling that freedom up to eleven.
A dancer, a dinosaur, a train conductor, a tiger, an ice cream maker, a butterfly, an astronaut, a shark, a college student, a Tamaranean, a mouse, a scuba diver, an elephant, a doctor, a moose, a race car driver, a dog.
A child wanting to see the world.
If you want to find captain marvel, well first you've got to try his comm, probably a couple times.
Then you've got to go to fawcett, hope he's there and not saving the yetis from a salamander invasion in a different dimension.
You've got to ask around, because it often goes by word of mouth here, no matter what technology you bring. Don't worry, it'll spread very quickly, but if you're in a hurry you can find his commemorative statue and leave an offering. No one knows if it really works, but it's a good way to pass the time and feel productive.
Soon, a face will peel out of the crowd. It's always familiar, but it's never the same one.
Wait for the flash of lightning in a cloudless sky.
And then you will find captain marvel.

Y’know, Jacob’s “annoy Zach into leaving me” campaign apparently only lasted all of two days, but considering the reaction the admission got, I’m wondering if Zach was under the impression that it was longer. Like it was definitely a dick move, but given Zach’s reaction, I’m wondering if it was perceived as a more prolonged and/or malicious dick move than it was.
Which kind of makes me think that maybe Zach just sorta didn’t like Jacob at the end and Jacob admitting that he’d been trying to annoy him into breaking up with him (without giving a timeline or expanding on specifics, which means that Zach’s assumption could be that Jacob was actively waging the annoyance campaign for months and about any number of things when actually Zach was just getting fed up with him) was just the cherry on top to let Zach snap and be like “this guy is intolerable and I wasted my time with him.” (Especially with his “I don’t have to care about this anymore.”)

Drew buys all his friends material stuff because he doesn't know how else to show attachment, and he doesn't want them to leave him. Some people say he shows off his money because he's self-centered, and yeah, he is, but he also buys his friends gacha switches and laptops just so they can play on them with him. Deep inside he's probably scared people would leave him if he couldn't give them something. That boy screams abandonment issues. (Past reveal when fr - my money is on the parents.)
And I remember this, and then I think of the episode where Jake was willing to give the laptop Drew bought him as soon as he remembered he even had it. It's also easy to sympathize with Jake in this situation: he had finally found people he related to, was desperate for their approval and getting them to accept him, and he definitely has people-pleasing tendencies too.
But he had also known Sean for like a week or two at this point and had been Drew's friend for years. He was so willing to give his laptop away just like that. One of those material gifts Drew gave him as a show of attachment. This really shows Jake never tried to understand Drew, and Drew never tried to understand him. They are so tragic like wtf.

Finn saying the kids (the Party) grew out of D&D now they got older (suggesting that older ppl cannot or do not play D&D) when he is literally sitting with The Duffers, the two older/adult people who are hardcore D&D lovers and play the game when they're adult people..... will never stop being funny.
LMAOOOO that whole interaction was something else
Finn literally tries to save it by saying "it was more arcade than DnD" n S2 (which Matt concedes to) only for Matt to double down on the "its okay for adults to play DnD" point—and have Millie then say "from experience, right Matt?" trying to sass him?
I'm like 99.9% sure that was the moment he decided to death-by-1000-cuts even mlvn's cute moments....and seal byler with a "lets just play dnd for the rest of our lives." Like...this smile ldjhflkdjdslk they really caught Matt choosing violence in 4K
