Leo buddy you wanna run the fact that you don’t pay attention to what other guys look like because you hang out with Jason by us again or? 🤨🏳️‍🌈

“Unlike Jason I will never pull a girl with how hot I am. Also I’m not going to think about the fact that I just called Jason hot. That’s a perfectly reasonable best friend observation.”

Also you know who does like you for your looks and personality and laughs at even your lamest jokes?

# Dcu x Dp 154

After Danny was able to escape from the GIW he moved to Gotham where he fell in love with Jason Todd aka Red Hood.

One day as Danny was in his room Batman himself appeared and pretty much told him he knew who he was and what he was. Danny thinks that he knows about the ecto acts and is there to turn him in.

He did not want Batman to find out that Jason was also an ecto entity so Danny did the only thing he could in his panic, he left a note that explained what happened and that he was breaking up with him to protect him and that he would brake if Jason is ever caught, that he does not want Jason to look for him.

Captaineer ship dynamic (post-wormhole)

I hate to engage in shipwar discourse but i’m feeling very anti elriel so 😄.

Elain and Azriel’s relationship is literally doomed before it even starts and I don’t understand how ppl don’t see this.

Fundamentally, Elain and Azriel want very different things that do not align together. Like Azriel’s whole shtick is wanting a mate. It’s literally all he wants. He believes finding his mate would make him worthy and would solve all his problems. He thinks a mating bond would be a blessing and gift from the mother and it would somehow rid him from all the horrible things he’s done bc if the mother thinks he’s worthy enough of a mate then maybe he’s not so irredeemable. He so desperately yearns for a mate that he’s literally become delusional about it and is questioning the cauldron. He wants a mate, he wants that validation and blessing from the mother.

Elain on the other hand, currently resents the mating bond and everything it means and doesn’t want it. She views the mating bond as this thing that ruined her relationship with grayson, as this thing that’s taking her choices away and she doesn’t see the value or gift in it. She wants nothing to do with it right now.

Their wants do not align. but it’s not just this it’s literally everything else.

Elain has expressed wanting to do greater things in life. She wanted to help out with the troves in acosf,she wants to help out with koschei and the upcoming war. She wants to be useful and to be seen.

Azriel would literally hate nothing more. He doesn’t want Elain in any danger, doesn’t even want her doing things that are slightly risky even if she wants to do them. Her wants are not a priority bc he just wants her safe and cooped up in her garden. In his eyes, she’s fragile and delicate and should not be exposed to such things.

Their wants do not align.

“oh but Azriel being happy without a mate and Elain getting a choice on who she’s with would be so poetic 🥺!!”

Azriel would literally spend the entire relationship wondering if he still has a mate out there bc the desire for one will always be there. and Elain would spend the entire relationship wondering what would’ve happened if she’d gotten with her mate instead because the bond will always be there. oh and if Lucien loses his mind, there’ll be that nice guilt to go with the doubt.

I get the appeal for this ship I really do. Light and dark. Sweet nice girl saves broken guy from the darkness within him. I get it. but like realistically? these two would not lasttt. I’d give them 4 months TOPS before they realize they have nothing in common and that their wants and vision for their lives do not align with one another.

they’re doomed in every way idk what to tell you.

Look at my dilf yaoi, Boy

[nothoughtsjusthoffstrahm]

I was just thinking and... Guys, I realized,,,

Strahm was actually the last thing that linked Hoffman with his own humanity

Because look, 🙏 when Strahm's still alive when he and Hoffman keep playing that cat and mouse game you can clearly see that he still keeps having doubts about whether he should be doing what he's doing, about whether what he's done so far is good or wrong, is it really any justice or not really - I think what proves this the most is that scene at which he looks at Angelina's picture and afterwards throws his promotion certificate(?) on his desk with evident resignation and something that looks like disgust even

It's only when Strahm ends up dying, when Hoffman looks at his dead body that it seems like something clicks inside him - his expressions when he's looking at it, then when he's picking up his hand, all of his conflicting emotions and thoughts seeming to flicker right in front of his eyes at that moment

As if the moment he saw what he's done to Strahm, as if the moment he basically lost someone that kept insistingly showing him that what he's doing is wrong, that looked at him with disgust for what he was doing, that beat the sh*t out of him for that - see, that's what I'm often talking about also, like I usually do joke about it in a "Hoffman is a wh0re" manner, but actually it very much seems to me that Mark wanted Peter to beat the sh*t out of him, he enjoyed it, because a part of him knew he deserved it for the things he's done so far

But going back to my point - the moment Strahm died, the moment he saw his smashed body was the moment when his humanity has been torn away from him as a person completely, the moment when any good nature and reason left him, because it's Peter's insults, remarks and him not wanting to let him get away with this was what was keeping him grounded to his own doubts about all of this

In a way, I feel like you can even say Strahm's death was also the death of Hoffman's good and rational, as well as careful side

The fact that he had an actual real opponent, that he saw an actual real enemy in Strahm that could make him pay for his actions very much keeping him grounded as well, because with their cat and mouse game he knew he couldn't let his guard down, because he knew Strahm's way too intelligent and it's clear that he very much respected that

The moment Strahm died Hoffman also felt like he could put his guard down, because he felt like he didn't have an actual, real opponent anymore that could stand in his way the way Peter did

The only opponent he ever held any regard for and thought was worth any effort was Strahm.

Taylor Swift being name dropped in tda is so funny, especially when you think about what she was actually doing in 2012. like wdym on the 13th of August she dropped the first lead single of Red, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, and on the 14th of August the entire final fight against Malcolm in Lady Midnight happens. this includes Kieran's and Mark's (first proper on page) break up btw.

Seeing movie only nerds absolutely lose their minds about the idea of Deadpool/anyone vs spideypool is always so funny. I hope we do this every 4 years just introduce people to another one of Deadpool's 8000 boyfriends. especially when people start getting like annoyingly serious about it too like "omg spideypool is dead now 😔"

like first of All, multishipping is alive and well please introduce yourself to the concept and stop irking me, second do "my boy? my special boy?" and "more like lovers" and literally all of Deadpool annual #2 mean Nothing to these losers and third of all please for the love of god stop sincerely having ship wars we are too old for this. multishipping if you can hear us please save me. multishipping if you can hear me please

Wait. Wait a fucking second. Looks at Trustedpartner

Is THAT why I love Sanlu so much?? HELLO????

[russilton]

Hello, I know this might not be your cup of Tea at all. But I would love to read your thoughts on Maxiel if you have any? (Feel free to ignore if this is annoying ask? )

You sure picked an interesting time to ask anon ill give you that, lol.

I don’t really have many? I get it as a concept, and I’ve said to @thatsmemate more than once that Max’s most tolerable moments pre 21 were when he was being fruity with Daniel. I’ve also read plenty of it in the background or as a side ship in older britcedes fics. But I also can’t detatch Max’s behaviour in real life from the transformative side anymore. I used to be able to, its still easy to separate George and Lewis as real people, from the RPF we play with where they’re a hell of a lot more willing to fuck other men.

I can’t do that with Max, not with the shit hes done on and off the track. Not with what he enables, encourages or actively enacts. I cant sit and read him being nice and jokey with other drivers, while also having to see him week in week out make the sport more willing to welcome bigots and dangerous driving. I’ve got old wips from like early 22 that’ll never see the light of day that include him and dan, cause whenever i tried to go back to them MANY months ago it felt… just not fun, to write. If anything he and his team make a convenient villain in stuff like the RBau

There’s also the added element that irl RB are LITERALLY trying to use Dan and the appeal of maxiel for positive PR. Not theyre not gonna make them kiss- but dan makes max do funny dumb shit, which gets shared, then people go ‘oh well i dont like that he wins but look and this silly video, max cant be THAT bad’ and slowly people just, stop remembering the slurs, and the shitty behaviour, and the threats of violence, and the racism/homophobia, and so on.

I mean there’s a reason we’ve been saying since Dan got resigned that Perez day’s in the seat were numbered. RB don’t need two fighting winners, but they need good PR. Dan brings good PR. Look at how they got away with axing nyck in his rookie season in a sister team bc it was DAN they replaced him with

So yeah, I dont… its not a notp or something I actively filter, like brocedes or glance, but I cant really see it as ‘just a ship’ anymore

Constantly rotating this line in my head. The fact that Mark actually talked to Oliver about Damien when he couldn't do that with Sam or Joan

AU stuff...Forcing Purson Soi to participate in the special tutors and Harvest Festival arks...Ignore the mistakes, lines and colors alone took 7 hours and the designs prolly took another 2-4 before that

[milezryn]

there is something so aughgh about lani and samheed's relationship in the unwanteds ok. because. though i am an alexheed shipper through and through, even in a nonromantic context the two of them are so trauma bonded for life. like both of them showed sides of themselves on warbler that they never have before, trapped in deaf darkness for what had to feel like forever. they developed a whole LANGUAGE just to reassure one another that they were still there. like cmon u can't tell me that even years after they're rescued there are still days when the only person in the world who could comfort one is the other because nobody else would understand. sam still lies awake at night sometimes when the darkness is too much; lani has to listen to music to fall asleep. no matter who they're with romantically, no one else will ever understand the depth of what that experience did to them and they are so ughghghg they make me insane

[fictionalsownme]

I put In Space with Markiplier on in the background when I work on my captain x engineer long fic (I have my favorite path set to a playlist and play it on mute) and even after watching the entire thing god knows how many times, I still find myself giggling and smiling at my favorite parts when I catch them out of the corner of my eye heeh
