actually i love bruce and duke’s dynamic because everytime it’s essentially just:
Bruce telling him about this very unhinged plan he has

And Duke displaying one ounce of concern, and then immediately agreeing

#batfam#bruce wayne#duke thomas#okay but on a deeper level#i do enjoy the night and day contrast#and how the trust between these two has such a long way to go still#but it’s been built up so much#and it’s clear that bruce has like so much faith in duke#i also like to think on some subconscious level bruce sees duke as not only a source of guilt#but also proof of a second chance#and duke likewise has a lot to be disappointed in batman for#but his respect for bruce’s willingness to be batman and his message is so high#and ugh i’m bad at wording these things#but i like their dynamic a lot#batman#the signal#batfamily

jared padalecki and jensen ackles - njcon 2025 main / nashcon 2021 main / jib 2022 jensen sunday am / dccon 2023 main / chicon 2024 gold / njcon 2025 gold
jensen on struggling with soulless -> jared on souls; love and unbroken bond
j2 on their friendship redux
+bonus
(tom cruise's "you complete me" from jerry maguire)
#this might be a stretch but to me it's all connected if somewhat tenuously#something about talking about soulless leading to talking about souls - but also a mirroring of why jensen struggled with soulless#j2#j2friendship#jared padalecki#soulless sam#supernatural#jensen ackles#j2 cons#j2gifs#j2 gifs#souls#soulmates#ish#njcon 2025#nashcon 2021#jib 2022#dccon 2023#chicon 2024#long post#mygifs#was feeling for jared in this moment in the panel because i think it got a little away from him#but the core of what he said just kind of pinged with what he'd said about jensen and not the first lifetime being friends#and it was wrapped up in this context of talking about soulless sam- and we got jensen's big reaction to soulless at the start#so i wanted to sort of contextualize that but in doing so it also kind of showed how it was this lack of connection with sam's soul#that gave jensen so much difficulty#and it's one of those times where i make the surface connection first and realize why i made it at a deeper level later#kind of like my brain saw the pattern on one level but failed to tell me about it 😂#my brain: like okay nic. talk it through. you'll get there eventually 😌#there are other moments of them talking about their relationship i could have used but these i already had gifs of

no more celestial body symbolism. embrace fast and furious casting headcanons. take my hand. let's watch all 10 films together so we can accurately assign characters to previous life series winners. I believe Fast X: Part 2 (releasing 2025) can become a crane wives situation if we do our best
#life series#trafficblr#traffic smp#this is a lie but it's funny so#i DO really think that fandoms getting into really unrelated media as a group is extremely funny#but actually the symbolism to me is there's a car in space now#bc i do really like the celestial symbolism#and on a deeper level. maybe tying ourselves to consistent motifs and metaphors in an improv series will not increase our enjoyment of it#as more and more of these come out i think it has to be okay to separate them narratively#but after we all watch the last day and furious movie together 🧡 🧡 🧡

Ask follow up questions 🗣
You know, actually try and find information about the person you're talking to thats deeper than just, for example, finding out the name of their favourite movie. Ask them why its their favourite, would they recommend it, how does watching it make them feel, there's so many details to get!
Its not that hard to show a little interested because otherwise you just look like you don't actually like the person you're talking to 🥴
(This isn't about my asks on here lol I mean in actual one to one conversation)
#it took me way too long to realise thats what happens basically anytime i talk to folk#like i knew it felt one sided but i just thought i asked a lot of questions#recently understood that nope i just genuinely wanted to learn deeper details#and it wasnt a two way street#like you can learn so much about someone when you ask little side questions#that's how an actual conversation between two people that like each other should be!#when i like someone i want to learn all the things about them because its fun#im on one about this topic lol#but its so true and its ridiculously bad nowadays#i dont understand how anyone expects to make a genuine connection when the conversation is so surface level#reeeeee#no clue why i wanted to post this but its been kicking about my brain for the last few so imma dump it out here#do with the information as you will#and if it wasnt clear i did in fact not make it to bed by 2am since its now 6am#tired pup has all the brain things and 0 filter sooo#okay i really should try and sleep now since one of my siblings is coming to hang out this afternoon lol#feel free to comment or leave asks or whatever about the actual post topic if yah want#im not like grumpy as such or maybe i am in general? more frusted i think#and annoyed i wasnt able to call someone out on this in the moment because it didnt click this is what was happening but ah well#i know now and so do you so we can all do better right? right?!#okay imma go for reals now#my tags do be descending into madness#a cookie for the people that made it to this point 🍪

movie sonadow would be so l umity-coded…and i say this bc their dynamic is similar to the games but with a different and tender perspective: they both empathize deeply with each other now, and this shadow is not as reticent or closed off bc of that. that being said: movie!sonic would ABSOLUTELY 'YOU'RE the sweet potato!' the hell out of shadow
#i say l umity bc they're my fave yardstick for romantic relationship progression#between two characters who're barely just starting to know themselves let alone their feelings#and bc they're cute. and i have been thinking abt (made sleepless over‚ really) sonic being SO ecstatic to find shadow alive#i just see movie!sonic being more physically affectionate n movie!shadow (w the both of them having already seen each other at their worst)#feeling less of a need to put up a front. not much to hide from the guy you pleaded with to kill you on the moon yk?#speeds over‚ loops his arms and spins him 'round#he would be SO excited to show shadow fun earth stuff#and on a deeper level‚ i think a liiiiiittle bit of it'd be projection#he knows their situations aren't the same. but yet again‚ here's another hedgehog in a strange new world#and he wants to give him everything he wished he'd had when he arrived#so he shows him crappy reality tv and new kinds of foods and other kinds of constellations‚#the proper way to give a fist bump (bc shadow was going to genuinely punch him and he had to explain)‚ and books from the library#they get more movies. sonic teaches him how to play mario kart. he knux and tails induct him into their baseball games#and sonic is delighted to find they have the same problem of hitting the ball Way Too Hard#he answers every question shadow has to the best of his ability#and like. the Main Thought that's been plaguing me is that one day he gets shadow a picture frame#and - idk how sonic got it‚ just roll with it - sonic reveals the picture of shadow and maria#and explains that tom had that section of his old cave‚ the one w the picture of longclaw excavated and preserved#and he doesn't know how tom did it‚ but now she's in his new home too. he doesn't have to leave her behind just bc he found somewhere new#basically trying to show him that it's okay to grieve and to KEEP grieving. that just bc you've been understood‚ that love goes away.#but yeah. they drive me nuts#sonadow#sonic movie 3 spoilers#sth

hello to everyone with ocd today. reminder that if you lost to an intrusive or impulsive thought, you are still loved. that if you didn't win this downspiral, that's okay.
obsessive compulsive disorder is a daily chess match and you don't have a guarantee of a checkmate.
there's always tomorrow. the 'what if' isn't a 'what is'. i love you
#buds talks#this also all applies to other neurological conditions that cause intrusive/impulsive thoughts and/or downspirals.#that's okay there's always tomorrow. i love you.#realized that the more i'm learning how to deal with ocd the deeper the thoughts try to dig.#but as my friend said 'that means the surface level is healing'.

when you post something about a character/fandom and it’s reblogged/commented on/whatever by someone who on closer inspection is way weirder about this thing than you are. and you’re just like you know what fair play.
#not a recent experience necessarily just thinking about it#it’s like not in a critical way at all just like yeah you win i actually can’t follow you there#like one time i made a tiktok about the muppet dr phil van neuter#and someone commented that they actually had like a huge crush on him#and on their page yeah they’d posted about him a good bit#and i was like wow. okay. you actually appreciate dr phil van neuter on a much deeper level than me#i will give you that#runaway scones

"Nothing illegal" in my Fairy Tail fanfiction? girl...what. lmao 60% of that story is a running joke about property damage.
#posts i actually wrote#fandom#fairy tail#for the sake of my own sanity and stress levels i shan't dive deeper into what's actually meant by that (though of course we all kno -_-)#i'm trying to write more this year and contribute more and be more prolific.#these ethnocentric & conservative-coded constraints are making that more stressful and difficult. but that's okay! i'll do my own thing 😊#maybe even make my own prompts and stuff? hmm! possibilities

I've always had this personal headcanon of Eluca warming up to Ron due to the remnants of his sister he sees within her.
Deep down, he craves unconditional love and acceptance but he (subconsciously) knows that expecting that from Elisa would be unfair to her considering the fact that she has moral values that don't align with his own and he respects that.
Eluca willingly carries the burden of his predatory nature all on his own despite still wanting a connection with her because he doesn't want to impose in her life so negatively.
So, having someone like Ron to experience the worst parts of him first-hand and still pursue him anyway would feel like a huge relief off his shoulders.
And although undeserving of having a kindred spirit to share his life with, he finds what he's looking for within her and begrudgingly accepts it over time.
Eluca is definitely stubborn about it and he'd be in denial over the spontaneity of their connection at first, but he'd eventually warm up to her and feel thankful for it. He wouldn't verbalize his feelings all that much and he'd feign indifference, but Ron would know how to read between the lines and love him for who he is... flaws and all.
#pretty blood eluca#pretty blood fanart#pretty blood ron#pretty blood#ron x eluca#🐇🫀🦔#these are all my personal headcanons so dont take it seriously#i just love dissecting their dynamic#these two have so much in common while still being vastly different from one another#i feel they'd understand each other on a deeper level if given the chance#there'd be mutual respect between them if i were to sit them down and have them AUTHENTICALLY engage with one another#IVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS A LOT OKAY#i could go on and on#i could write a whole essay about the potential of their romantic relationship

I always found that sweet how a lot of the time in TLG Med would jump to reassure Khadgar or even apologize after snapping at him
And yet in some ways the cruelest thing Medivh said to Khadgar in my opinion was correcting him when he called Karazhan “Our Tower.” And reminding him he was there at his whim and he could send him away at any time.
And he never did apologize for that one and honestly I don’t really blame Med for that per se? It is his tower and Khadgar can’t tell him who is allowed there. What I mean is going by JUST the power dynamic they have as mentor-apprentice, Khadgar is absolutely out of line there
In some ways could have come off quite spoiled and entitled but the thing is I don’t think that was the case at all.
He’s become so comfortable in Karazhan he’d started thinking of it as his home. Then Medivh has in one conversation reminded him it very much was not his home and he could send him away at anytime if he so wished it
He’d finally found someone who cared about him, respected him and treated him as a person. He found a place where he felt he belonged for once in his life and…
No wonder he was so jealous of Garona for a while after that. He’d been reminded that all of it could be taken from him at any moment and here was someone stealing his Master’s attention.
Just thinking about how that jealousy so obviously comes with feeling like he’s not enough and insecurity about his place in Med’s life.
Just very interesting how I think it could very well have went over Med’s head as not that big of a deal too? One of those things he’d be like huh oh yeah I said that? Meanwhile Khadgar is spiraling about it
He could of also been absolutely aware of how harsh it was because Medivh does lash out like that on occasion (especially towards the end of the book as Sargeras gets harder and harder to fight) he can be a little shit we know this
(Don’t really blame him for that given being possessed by the demon lord Sargeras is probably just a teensy bit tiring /s)
Also seen valid and honestly very possibly canon interpretations where he’s also trying to push Khadgar away cuz he knows what’s coming and what Khadgar is going to have to do.
The more attached to him he is the more difficult it will be for Khadgar to do what needs to be done.
What better way to push someone away then hit them right where it hurts?
And yet even then I think those words hurt Khadgar deeper than he’ll ever know :(
#wow blogging#angst angst baby#something something power dynamics and Med inadvertently enforcing it there when he also ironically often tries to make their relationship#there’s some interesting scenes where Med does reinforce it because well they ARE mentor and apprentice#but also how he also seems to want it to be more than a formal/professional relationship and tries to encourage that#I think that’s one of the reasons he corrects Khadgar for calling him Master or sir or whatever#less formal and more equal#jokes about Khadgar totally having a kink aside#(I could talk forever about how I think Khadgar calling him Master is actually really sweet and I think it comes from a different place#than Med thinks it does)#how the title is actually very meaningful to Khadgar I think#and in some ways it shows the same level of affection that Medivh calling him Young Trust does#I don’t think Med realizes that though and he’s just like hey chill you don’t gotta call me that#and Khadgar just instinctually keeps doing it (even DECADES later it Outland he refers to him as his Master)#there’s something to be said I suppose for how it could be pure habit from growing up in the environment he did#but I like to think it’s..deeper then that#(he also does totally have a kink for it but that’s besides the point here)#(don’t get me started on how most of my headcanon kinks for him to stem from his issues with self worth and fear of abandonment)#love playing with power dynamics okay#they are so interesting#how do you balance it all#lines slowly blurring in the mentor apprentice relationship as it becomes more than that#because they do very much care for another obviously#no matter how you interpret their relationship#absolutely rife with angst potential honestly#….#no i shan’t say#raventrust

i've encountered a strange phenomenon in which it is easiest to write a character's voice the less you know and care about the inner workings of their mind
#i find it very difficult to accurately write. say. dean and cas. because i have spent so much time analyzing them.#and now i have these notions of what i think goes on in their heads vs how they would express it and i have so much to think about#when i write them. and its difficult.#the best i ever wrote dean was when i was only a few episodes into season one and i didn't understand him at all but i wanted to write abou#him so i did and because i only saw and understood his very outer shell i was able to capture his voice very well#and. okay im gonna admit something. and i hope this is a safe space.#i have started writing gilmore girls fanfic. im gonna need you to not linger too hard on that because my point is#i haven't extensively thought about those characters or their motivations. i am only on season two and im not thinking that hard about#the shit that's going on. and you know what im writing them damn near perfectly#because all im thinking about is their surface level characterizations. you know.#an additional weird thing is that this only goes for their VOICES. it's VERY easy to write dialogue the less you know about the character#because most of what you have seen of them so far is dialogue. what they choose to say. and you haven't gone deeper than that#when it comes to actions though it's impossible. you HAVE to analyze a character to write their actions correctly or you'll end up with#a strange situation where he WOULD fucking say that but he would not fucking DO that#anyways. i just think this is interesting#richie says stuff

my favourite part of season 5 is still the reveal that Gabriel and Tomoe thought Adrien and Kagami made the perfect pair and wanted them to be together because it completely flips their relationship
Kagami and Adrien sneaking around and finding the slightest gaps in their schedule and giving their bodyguards/parents the slip to spend time together and feeling so clever that they’ve gotten away with it their parents don’t suspect a thing
only to smashcut to Gabriel and Tomoe doing an evil pound it because their ship is canon
#miraculous ladybug#ml s5#gabriel agreste#tomoe tsurugi#adrien agreste#kagami tsurugi#it’s the illusion of free choice™#it was a very clever plan tbf like if they told them to date it would be awkward and forced. but put them in the same room together and see#what happens… let them think it was all their idea… boom success!#then the next step is saying ‘yes i only just found out you’ve been dating kagami and i have decided to give you my permission to date her-#what do you mean you broke up a month ago and your dating the baker girl who made a hat for me one time?’#on the flipside though it probably wouldn’t have worked out in the long run bc kagami likes the thrill of a secret forbidden romance like#that’s partially what drove her to felix imo so if tomoe said one day ‘it’s come to my attention you’re dating the agreste boy. i approve o#of this match and have organised a date for you two on friday.’ you Know kagami would immediately go#‘oh no.. okay um so now i’m kind of feeling that everything about him that was attractive to me before isn’t really there anymore…’#also on the flipside like looking at it on a more deeper/serious level like it just goes to show how much control tomoe and gabriel have o#er their kids to the point that they would be willing to manipulate them into a relationship and then when#the two of them tried and realised it wasn’t working. instead of admitting they don’t know their children as well as they think they do#or acknowledging that their children are actual people who have their own feelings that don’t always match their parents#or coming to terms that their children aren’t extensions of their legacy and will that they can puppet however they want#instead they say ‘okay we tried the hands off way now we’ll just have to force them’

Ohhhhhh I understand now. Dies extremely badly
#unrelated. to anything prior but some fascinating stuff going on there too i def gotta think on it...#but. slowly working my way through the fbs. got the alfonse/lif interaction.#@ alfonse's dialogue i just felt. oh. hm. i don't know how i feel about that (like from a personal standpoint)#not even gripes like. on a v personal level. don't know how i feel about that.#well.#i do now.#i hate closure.. i hate endings... i hate the future.... huge fan of just taking things day by day. forever.#i hate. feeling like someone is much more capable than me and has a bright future and live up to it#moving on without me. cause i can't keep up. or i don't wanna. inevitably i will be left behind to slip through the cracks.#okay. yay 🧍#really really cool i think i should blow this whole building up first. i think i should start burning the bridge. get the jump on em#i'm winning. by no longer participating. i failed on purpose you see. obviously.#alfonse is my favorite chara for a reason though like i think if you expressed this sentiment to him#he'd just. dig his claws in even deeper.

Nothing makes my job more worth it than the teens who remind me of myself at their age getting really excited over the Studio Ghibli buttons on my lanyard or the Steven Universe stickers on my water bottle. A girl who only started coming in this week rushed to me because she was so excited that she found a store selling konpeito and she wanted to give me some. I remember loving my school librarian when I was in 6th grade because she was one of the only adults who would listen to me talk about anime, so I hope being an adult in their life who validates their interests is a good influence on them. :')
#like YEAH OKAY anime and manga are a lot more mainstream now than when I was a kid#but if you're researching what konpeito is you're at a deeper level than your average joe

Thinking abt Jessica Cruz and the ability to overcome great fear again
#everybody including canon: omg hal is the greatest lantern kyle is the best etc. etc.#HOWEVER OKAY. my vision.....#with like 15 to 20 years of our time i could expand on stuff and give her THE character arc okay#like im just saying yellow lantern jess arc could ACTUALLY be so good bc i would do it as a way to bring her back to the corps stronger and#better and more assured#in herself because like its not about NOT being afraid is about OVERCOMING it and bravery isnt the absence of fear but action in spite of it#et cetera et cetera#like okay i was kidding when i said i think shed be more powerful than kyle or hal#because theyre both totally overpowered in their own way ofc with hal's willpower abilities at like insane levels and kyle's command of the#emotional spectrum being what it is et cetera#BUT. jess has such an interesting relationship with the ring and BEING a green lantern and its like i want to go deeper with that. like down#to the center of the earth deeper. because i feel like shes a character that would have such a great connection to being a lantern and would#especially be the one to embody the 'overcome great fear' phrase at its core#also like THE RELATIONSHIP SHE HAS TO BEING A LANTERN-#all the lanterns have interesting relationships to the corps or what it means to be a gl but for me jess's is just SOOOOOO compelling and#rich and just. being a lantern saved her life. becoming a lantern GAVE her her life BACK. on multiple levels!!!#like quite literally bc of the fact that volthoom died in her body before she got the ring but like before she became a gl she wasn’t living#a life at least not socially. even when she was power ring i still doubt HIGHLY that she even really left the watchtower when not on mission#because like. they glossed over it but the power ring doesnt come off. she was always like that and even with her control over it always a#little primed to blow and i think that's something jess was aware of even if the rest of the jl wasn't as much#bc she like was always reminded of how precarious her power over the power ring could be like it said HORRIBLE things to her all the time!!!#like on power it would be just calling her names like verbal abuse#so even while she had control over the ring it was a tenuous sort of precarious state and she was very aware of that!!!#and i feel like thats what it often comes down to for jess: control. i think its a key part of her character that she desires that sort of#control over herself and her fear due to feeling a lack of it for so long. and THATS why i think that yellow lantern jess has SO much#potential bc it has a huge chance to explore her relationship with the concept of control and harken back to her origin and early days as a#hero.#gosh i went on a tangent here but yeah. LOTS of feelings abt jess#basically a whole meta in the tags tbh#jessica cruz
