#just father son conversations

"Rhaenyra isn't the stepmother, she's the mother who stepped up!"

The HOTD writers themselves are hardly doing anything to support that narrative, so I take this rhetoric with a grain of salt. While I think, in some way, Rhaenyra does care for Baela and Rhaena....if I had to point out a motherly figure for them that could pose as someone stepping in Laena's place, Rhaenyra would not be it.

father and son

Dick: Look. I know why you’re here. You don’t want Bludhaven’s problems spreading into your precious Gotham. And you don’t trust me to contain this. But the Haven is my personal crusade. Just like Gotham is yours. And I’ve been doing all right so far.

Bruce: I never means to intrude. I’m surprised to hear you talk about Gotham that way.

Dick: it’s not my hometown. I was born in a trailer by the big top. I never really had a hometown. Until now.

Bruce: I didn’t know you felt like that. But I understand. Well. That’s it then.

Dick: Damn.

ngl i was joking to myself last night about how niko and eclair is like the quote "like aunt like nephew" then i remember that lowkey they do share the same views in some situations and even their PARTNER is an immortal, blue cladded not-human who's acquaintances or is closely related to an archon and im like

shit they really are aunt and nephew

(dont mind me ive been thinking a lot of niko/eclair relationship these days SHDHDHDHDH)

SKJHGSJKGV send me all your Niko/Eclair thoughts because they're such fun snippets to think on and fit into the lore of, well, everything really!

She's adopted him at this point. Well. Adopted him in an "I'm your aunt and you will always have a place to call home as long as I'm around and I will actually fight anyone that tries to say otherwise" kind of way and I'm more than okay with that. I actively cannot see them outside of the lens of Lilo and Nani half of the time and I'm okay with that because it just fits. And their blue clad immortal partners that have never fully experienced or really witnessed relationships like that are somehow both intrigued and confused by the complexity of it all. But to Eclair and Niko, that's just how it is - nothing complex about it at all. That's his aunt and he's her nephew.

I love the idea that Neuvillette and Wanderer don't even question it anymore. Like they just go with it because it's easier to go with it that to think about how the most notorious former phantom thief got arrested and now the Duke of Meropide is his dad and the Head Detective of the Investigations Bureau is his aunt. Wanderer probably understands it a bit (or a lot) more than Neuvillette does LOL

if adding facts about the real racer that a character in cars 3 is inspired by was a job i would be absolutely rolling in the dough

Daily excerpt from today's writing, chapter 17 of Palmarosa:

‘Lord Mephistopheles’ll get some entertainment at least, now that Master Raphael’s home.’ Low, filthy, evil laughs, and Astarion looked between them, even as he tried to also take in the grandeur and pathways and potential exits all around them. ‘Do you know,’ Astarion said, trying not to feel too alarmed at the way they looked at him with laser brightness, ‘Lord Raphael hasn’t told me a great deal about his relationship with his father. Entertainment you say? Do tell.’ ‘Master Raphael, he tortured you yet?’ one of the cornugons said. ‘Course he has, it’s what he knows best,’ the broad-horned cornugon said. ‘I’m no stranger to torture,’ Astarion said laconically. It was true enough, anyway, even if it wasn’t necessarily at the hands of Raphael. They didn’t need to know it was all Cazador and Godey and whoever else Cazador looped into his games at the time. ‘He won’t beat you though, will he?’ the first cornugon said. ‘Now that you mention it, he’s never done that,’ Astarion said. ‘Yeah,’ the second cornugon said. ‘I do wish we weren’t on this particular detail. Be nice to watch.’ ‘Mightn’t do it straight away,’ the first cornugon said. ‘Mightn’t do it at all. It’s not every time. Was better when he was a small thing.’ ‘Good screams.’ ‘Very good screams. You look like you have some good screams in you.’ ‘Bet he’s a crier,’ said the broad-horned cornugon, reaching out and jabbing Astarion’s arm with a sharp claw. ‘Looks like a crier.’

at the beginning of season 2 fleabag says ‘this is a love story’. Most obviously between fleabag and the hot priest, and then also between fleabag and her sister claire. I see a lot of people saying the love story of the season is ACTUALLY the 2nd, although the first is there, not to diminish the first but to… say something I don’t know. But Why can’t it be both? Why cant it also be about fleabag and her father, who never quite knows what to say to her but does obviously love her. Or about fleabag and her love for her mother who is gone and how that impacts her life, always being compared to her, stealing away the sculpture that her godmother said was based on her. Also fleabags love with herself, which has shown to have progressed in between seasons but comes to its satisfying ending when she walks away from the viewers at the end of the final episode, no longer in need of an audience or validation.

Its a story about love. Why must one type of love be prioritized over the others? It feels kind of absurd. Its all love

she has nothing against daughters inheriting over sons and never has - but she knows the realities that she’s faced as a female attempting to fight for her position when there is a male claimant, and she’s the king’s daughter. with the backing of the king. it was a ? kind of an open secret that many believed she was an exception and not a standard to be set, and she was so incredibly visible and incredibly watched, she couldn’t outwardly express those ideals without worry of men Getting Scared and loosing their support entirely. because she does ? embody the potential for change even if she couldn’t push for it so much outwardly.

IDK how much you know about D&D, I just want to put this out there bc it's hilarious to me.

Throughout the whole show, Merlin is called a warlock, and is the only one called that, but there's no explanation given as to why.

In D&D, a warlock gets their power from their patron, sometimes a god. And one of the gods in the D&D pantheon?

Balinor.

Taking one break of many from quote posting to say very unseriously:

Why fight over who Gohan’s ‘true’ father is between Piccolo and Goku?? Can a child NOT have two fathers? Goku would be ecstatic at the idea, Gohan gets three parents! All he had was his grandpa growing up!

NORAGAMI Chapter 104-2 Raw Thoughts

Disclaimer: Long ass wall of ALL-CAPS text. I literally typed this down after I read the chapter so there could be wrong interpretations here (100% affected by my feelings and stupidity bc i read the chapter and cried the moment Yukine appeared up till that last panel 🥲). Read at your own risk lmfao.

I AM TRTING TO PROCESS WHATWVER IS LEFT OF MY EMOTIONS. MY BABY, YUKINE IS BACK 😭 HE SAVED YATO I'M SOCBEJFJWJDKEKFKKED

NO BC THE LINE I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO HEAR FROM YUKINE FOR SO LONG. I FINALLY GOT IT. "Reality is so much brighter" NO ONE TOUCH ME.

NO BC HE FINALLY REALIZED THAT EVEN THO HE IS DEAD IN THE REAL WORLD, YATO TELLING HIM TO LIVE AS A PERSON ALONG WITH THE LIFE HE HAS SHARED W YATO SO FAR HAS BEEN SO MUCH BRIGHTER 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I LOVE HIM SO FUCKING MUCH BRO THE WAY HE SAID ALL THAT AND THE WAY HE WAS SO OPEN W HIS FEELINGS AND EVEN IN HIS AYAKASHI FORM HE DIDNT MANAGE TO BLIGHT YATO EVEN THO HE WAS ANGRY BC HE WAS TRULY SORRY FOR WHAT HE DID AND I KNOW, I JUST KNOW I'M 1000% CERTAIN THAT YATO NO LONGER CARES ABT ANY OF THAT. HE COULDNT CARE LESS IF HIS BELOVED SHINKI BLIGHTED THE FUCK OUT OF HIM TO DEATH, HE'S JUST HAPPY AND RELIEVED THAT YUKINE CAME BACK TO HIM AND THEY'RE FINALLY RECONCILED AND REUNITED 😭😭😭😭

BRO I AM TOO 😭😭😭 I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS FIWJCKEKCIDID AND THE WAY YATO FUCKING TEARED UP AND REACHED OUT FOR YUKINE IN HIS BABY FORM PLS IT'S THE CUTEST THING EVER I AM SOBBING. I AM GONNA TAKE ALL THIS IN BEFORE THE TRIO REUNITES AND I DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN JUST YET FR BC I WANT TO CHERISH THIS MOMENT BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH UGH CJWJCKEKFJRNCNDJCJFKDKF GHERE WERE SM THINGS HAPPENING THIS CHAPTER ABT YUKINE THAT I JUST WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABT. HE SAID HE WAS ANGRY. HE DIDNT SAY SORRY BC HE WAS ANGRY. HE SAID SORRY BC OF WHAT HE DID BC OF HIS ANGER. AND THIS IS THE MESSAGE I ALWAYS LOVED ABT NORAGAMI. THE IMPORTANCE OF VALIDATING YOUR EMOTIONS AND COMMUNICATING THEM!!!

ABT HOW AT FIRST THE TWO OF THEM WERE WALKING ON EGG SHELLS AROUND EACH OTHER: YATO REFUSING TO TELL YUKINE SENSITIVE THINGS BC YATO WANTED TO PROTECT YUKINE AND DIDNT WANT HIM TO GET INVOLVED, AND THEN YUKINE TRYING SO HARD TO BECOME THIS PERFECT SHINKI BC HE DIDNT WANT TO STING YATO AND BECOME A DISGRACE AS A BLESSED VESSEL. BOTH DID SO W THE INTENTION OF NOT WANTING TO HURT THE OTHER AND LOOK WHAT THAT DID.

REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUES AND COMMUNICATE IS THE #1 REASON FOR DOWNFALL IN ANY RELATIONSHIP AND NOW MY BABIES ARE FINALLY GRASPING THAT. THEY FINALLY KNOW HOW A RELATIONSHIP WORKS, FAMILIAL OR NOT AND THAT IS THROUGH COMMUNICATING!!! LISTENING TO EACH OTHER AND BEING THERE FOR EACH OTHER. TALKING, APOLOGIZING, AND RECONCILING. THIS HOLDS SM MORE SIGNIFICANCE WHEN YOU KNOW THAT THE TWO OF THEM ARE LITERALLY BOUND TOGETHER AS GOD AND SHINKI. BUT I LOVE THEM BC THEY LITERALLY DON'T THINK ABT THEIR STATUS AND YATO HAS ALWAYS TRIED SO HARD TO TREAT YUKINE LIKE HIS SON/BABY BROTHER. HE TREATS HIM THE WAY HARUKI'S FATHER SHOULD'VE TREATED HIM AND THE WAY YATO SHOULD'VE BEEN TREATED WHEN HE WAS A KID. IT'S JUST A PROCESS OF HEALING THEIR INNER CHILD FR 😭

THEY MAY BE LIKE FATHER AND SON BUT THEY ARE ALSO BROTHERS bonded by daddy issues and trauma. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS MOMENT FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE. I'M GONNA HAVE THAT LAST PANEL FRAMED UP ONCE AGAIN BC THE WAY YUKINE APOLOGIZED AND YATO JUST HUGGING HIM ID JISNVKSKCKDKXKCKCKD

ANW THE IMPORTANT THING IS MY BOYS FINALLY RECONCILED AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS FR BC IT HAS BEEN SO LONG 😭 THE LONG AWAITED TALK, AND HUG QND WJFKSKDKKDKXX I'M SO HAPPY

ALSO NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO CALL MY BABY AN UGLY DOG. I JUST SAW ONE ON REDDIT AND I'M THROWING HANDS FR

fun probably obscure kosuke fact but in emiko's sidestory there's a photo of him smoking. i like to think he's only ever a light smoker but also more or less quit completely once emiko turned pregnant with daisuke, especially since he's never even once shown smoking after he comes home. aside from that he really is a good dad? which can be kind of a rarity in anime rep??? lakjalkjdf he genuinely deeply loves and cares about his family! he's the sole 'normal' one as the non-niwa brought into a family of phantom thieves. a lot of mundane things daisuke knows and considers just as, if not even more important than his phantom thief skills were taught to him by kosuke, but the memories are always fuzzy and it's always only ever 'recently' that his father came back. unfortunately it's just the reality that in going around looking for magical artifacts trying to be of future help to dark/daisuke that kosuke ended up absent in daisuke's life, so the concept of father figures is still a little foreign to him --- for the most part daisuke grew up with his mom and grandpa and nobody else.

criminal minds/call of duty crossover where a serial killer is targeting sets of brothers. the bau think it’s ghost after finding out he’s on leave and looking into him and finding out about his abusive childhood. they think being military, getting held by the cartel and his family’s murder made him snap and he’s trying to recreate a perfect childhood with perfect brothers but they’re never perfect enough

he’s arrested when he can’t provide an alibi for the nights of the murders. the interrogation is rough, even with his resistance training. he can’t fight back, he can’t wait out the clock until price rescues him bc it’s not ghost being interrogated, it’s simon. getting his family and childhood thrown in his face, being questioned about his time with the cartel, forced to remember everything he went through and the entire time he can’t hide behind his mask bc they took it the second they brought him in

he’s being moved from interrogation to a cell when soap bursts in, screaming and swearing at them, how dare they think ghost would ever hurt those boys, after everything he’s survived, all the people he’s saved, do they really think he would ever do something like that, what the fuck is wrong with them!!

he sees how rough ghost looks, sees they took his mask and is two seconds from throwing hands with morgan. ghost’s just been quietly saying his name as he rants, trying to get through to him before he gets himself arrested too until he finally barks, “sergeant mactavish!” and soap instinctively freezes and falls to attention. he tries to make him leave but soap tells the team that ghost was with him on the nights the boys were killed and he had security footage of him coming and leaving his apartment, as well as pictures from throughout the night

the team don’t believe him, asking why ghost would lie to them, he could be charged with murder if it went far enough, why hide his alibi? he stays quiet until soap finally says, “he was protecting me. it doesn’t look to good to be gay in the military. or to seduce your superior officer.”

“you didn’t seduce shit, johnny,” ghost argues back and the team realises they were trying to dodge a dishonourable discharge not hide a murder habit and releases him. they end up stealth helping them solve the case bc even if he didn’t do it, seeing all of these boys, these brothers getting killed was getting to ghost in a bad way
