Danny, on a work trip with his parents, is tired and maybe a little cranky and also all of his joints hurt.
Sleeping in the GAV is not great. As in, it just doesn't happen.
So he pops his neck.
Or, he tries to pop his neck.
He sighs and grabs the bottom of his jaw and the top of his head and forces his neck to pop.
Except he miscalculated.
He's broken his own neck.
As a halfa, it's fine, he just needs to force/hold it in place and wait twenty minutes for his healing factor to kick in. But when he moves to do that, a pair of red-gloved hands interrupt him and put him in a bracing hold.
"Don't worry kid, ambulance is on it's way!" The Flash reassures him, not budging an inch. "I know it feels like you can just pop it back into place, but it's actually pretty broken right now, and you could uh...it...the doctors will makes sure you're okay!"
Danny watches in despair as his family disappears into the crowd, having not noticed that he was being held up, and tries to think of a lie to make the hero let go without resorting to using his powers in front of the many, many livestreaming phones that have turned towards him.

One of the things I desperately need in s3 is Pen saying to Colin something like: "You should start referring to me as 'Miss Featherington' in public, we don't want any potential suitors thinking the two of us are involved since we use nicknames," and Colin being absolutely heartbroken because first she started calling him 'Mister Bridgerton', and now he has to call her 'Miss Featherington' ????
And him trying to do it, but then he breaks because he just has to call her Pen, HIS Pen...
And then he sees that it irritates her when he does it in front of other people and starts doing it on purpose

"Can we keep it?"
The goober has been found
Rob's right tho, Lilly does remind me of a puppy a bit. Even though she's a cat. Puppycat then?
Poppet & Lilly are so precious to me augh-
(tato means dad)
Lil malicious creature
Lilly can be intimidating to literally anyone but her dads smh (maybe it's the clown nose)
Siblings confirmed 🤨🤨?? Just thought their dynamic would be silly cuz Lilly would be the Ashton defender number one (though there's already a whole bunch of em lol)
Ik this ver of Colt and Rob would not care for some random kid but I found this idea silly -
Two unhinged criminals and their possibly more unhinged child.
How did Rob find her? Well she's been lurking around the mob base for god knows how long (but literally, prolly only Home knew she's here-) until one day Lilly wasn't careful enough and got spotted by Rob or someone else.
Poppet and Ashton would be the only ones Lilly causes the least trouble to-
Tbh Lilly just wants attention (therefore her only fear is being left alone) and would commit crimes and various mischief to make sure you won't forget about her, unlike her og ver who'd rather give you some silly gifts & help. Though she still tries to be helpful in this au, but how competent and serious a child can be?
( ocs by @clownsuu @cupophrogs @ashchoo @thelone-copper )
(Also don't mind that style & brushes change on literally each of those I was going through a crisis)

Thinking again about how Cleopatra (1963) made Octavian the villain, but skipped his proscriptions, slaughters at Philippi and Perusia, policies that accidentally caused a famine, ditching his second wife the day she gave birth, backstabbing Sextus Pompeius, stealing Gaul from Antony, possibly trying to assassinate Antony, and "forgetting" his promise to provide Antony with troops.
Instead, they made him ambiguously gay/asexual, and Antony insults him repeatedly. The above image is Antony offering to set him up on a gay(?) date, then deriding him for "not knowing how to live" when he declines. Some of Antony's more admirable moments, like the time he saved Octavian's life, are removed. So for 90% of the film it just looks like Antony bullying some random blond guy. And it's not that the filmmakers lacked for time - this movie is four hours long!
Yet we're clearly supposed to sympathize more with Antony, the "real man" who's aggressive, passionate, sexual, and forthright. Octavian is soft-spoken, calculating, devoid of affection or sexuality, and has more delicate and effeminate mannerisms. It is this lack of "manliness," not his real-life abhorrent deeds, that signals he is the antagonist. We do eventually get him stabbing a random messenger and declaring war on Antony, but that's very late in the film, and most of Antony and Cleopatra's downfall comes of their own mistakes.
I don't actually hate this portrayal. In fact, I really enjoyed the movie and Octavian's actor. The main theme seemed to be "Love was their downfall," rather than demonizing queer people, and Antony and Cleopatra have their own flaws. Octavian also came across to me as more practical and competent than any of the heterosexual characters. It's almost like the film is saying straight people shouldn't be rulers!
But it's less funny that I still see people make homophobic or ableist jokes about Octavian, instead of criticizing what he actually did. It's not cowardice to be too sick to enter battle; it's not weakness or embarrassing to be feminine.
I'd like to see a film where Octavian is a villain because he acts like the ruthless, vengeful, controlling, power-hungry opportunist he really was. I'd love a film that could give us a fuller picture of his good and bad qualities, but that's a hard task for any writer, even in the bigger space of a novel. He's just a complicated guy.

how I think steve figured out The Hair:
Just did what his mom would do when he was like 10
~
Found his mom's hairspray and magazines, did some thievery of both
~
Okay we're doing better not as shwoopy
~
Literally too baby girl for his own good, ran his fingers through it more and grew it out some
~
Possibly got it trimmed, still doing a routine but not as much as he used to, his hair is definitely softer than pre s3 from not using as much product but he def keeps a bunch on hand for bad hair days (his mom still doesn't know where the farrah fawcett spray went, she doesn't care either because she simply has not been home). Definitely keeps it this way because he knows if his parents were home then they'd make it go back to s1 Lego man hair
