i like to think that Nightmare doesn't get sick often, but when they do, it's usually always really and and they become bedridden for days on end (which they obviously hate because they feel the need to work all day every day)

Maybe it's the eternally distrustful loveless child in me but idk something about the way DC has been writing familial relationships in recent years rings so false to me. There's no room for the complex, nuanced, unnamed relationships Batman and Nightwing used to have, nothing like the warped mother-daughter-sister thing Barbara Gordon and Cass Cain had, nothing like Superboy's weird obsessive hero worship/bone-deep dread of his clone fathers or Max Mercury's weary undefined protectiveness of Bart or Wonder Woman's dogged loyalty to her little "sisters". Cause — for me, at least, I know I actively seek little moments of connection in stories; when I write or when I read it is to seek comfort. I think that's why DC has made this shift. Readers like me gravitated to those little warm moments, and DC noticed that we did without stopping to think about why.

But there's a point at which I notice diminishing returns of comfort from fluffy writing — it ceases to register as real. It's too good, too saccharine, too empty of any of the pain and frustration it takes to express genuine love for the other person. It's all hand-holding and no sweaty palms. It's so easy for someone to say they love you. It's so easy to see when it's all just words. And part of this is, yeah, bad writing; all that stuff about show not tell. They're trying to tell us these characters care about each other without giving us any real proof. but. idk. I need my love to be real. I need to feel the bones behind each embrace. I can't accept affection without struggling my way into it. Honestly I'd rather get a grim gritty Batman who forgets he HAS kids until they throw themselves into the line of fire than a milquetoast helicopter Batdad who tells his kids exactly what they mean to him without actively being in a state of bleeding out.

Timmy at 10 watching Cosmo flirt with Wanda

Timmy: Ew those were terrible. How do you stand those Wanda??

Wanda smiling and brushing his bangs playfully: You'll understand when you're older sweetie.

Timmy at 16 listening to Jimmy flirt with him

Timmy smiling: Oh god Nerdtron that was awful.

Jimmy smirking: Yet you're smiling so I guess that you don't mind it.

Timmy immediately hit with Wanda's words: Omg I do-

Later

Wanda sitting on the couch relaxing when Timmy bursts into the room causing her to look up startled

Wanda concerned: Timmy what-

Timmy panting: Mom. Mom I get it I fucking get it holy shit-

The SOS SMP finale was quite a wild ride

We got nature wives, scott icarus-ing him self, oli shenanigans, nature wives, and lore.

I enjoyed the finale quite a lot and this series was so much fun to watch <3

Also, Sausage with the lore. I mean, the fates being the past lives of players or something is a super cool concept

And them all just explaining to Mog that strange things happen at the end of SMP's was very funny lmao

Non-lore server my ass <3

Fwhip had to cave eventually

And the Nature Wives moments. I love them so freaking much hoa;sjkjas <3

Also, Scott needs to stop sacrificing himself cause like dude there was no reason to this time 😭

You could've chilled and lived with Fwhip. You could've kissed him or something like the others wanted. But no. Your gay ass decided to fly straight into the sun and get struck by lightning.

Love that man <3

Anyways I'm waiting on an Oli upload now. See you in eight months or never.

"why is Bruce trying to be Nightwing, they should have let Tim or Jason do it" why does ANYONE else have to be Nightwing. Can't Dick have one thing that's just his

Okay but like what if Jimmy's parents like noticed little things about his friend Timmy? Like I imagine it'd be Jimmy's mom who notices things first.

It's just a normal day, her 11 year old son has brought home a friend from a different area who introduced himself as Timmy Turner. And she gives him a look over and something just sets her mom instincts off. Like there's a nagging feeling in the back of her head but she pushes it down because she just met this boy and she doesn't want to embarrass Jimmy. But she keeps a closer eye on him. And it's because of this Jimmy's mom notices a few things.

Timmy's always hungry. Kid can't get enough food and rarely ever turns down a meal if offered. It kinda startles her how much he'll eat sometimes. She also notices these pale marks on him, like he'd been in a horrible fall or something. She notices that if Jimmy's mad at Timmy, he'll get defensive and then slowly go quiet. As if he's used to these kinds of things. Though Jimmy's always quick to apologize shortly afterwards. Mrs. Neutron doesn't want to assume things, but God it's hard when she sees these little things.

Mr. Neutron on the other hand is slower on putting it together. But it's during one of Jimmy and Timmy's sleepovers that Mr. Neutron notices it. How tense Timmy gets whenever he gets a bit too close. Or how he seems to keep an eye on the adult and is extra careful with things. As if he's afraid of breaking something and upsetting him. Mr. Neutron will notice how if a noise is too loud Timmy will jump or yelp in surprise.

Mr. and Mrs. Neutron notice these things and a few more. And they can't help but feel a bit saddened at Timmy's reactions sometimes. Especially when they say something nice to him or praise him for something. It's like it takes a moment for him to process the genuine sincerity of their words. And they somehow know that Jimmy knows what's going on, why he's always seeming to be glued to Timmy's side, not just because he liked him and enjoyed being around him.

The Neutrons never really push either, not wanting to make Timmy uncomfortable or make Jimmy upset with them in trying to intervene in an obvious delicate situation. But if they keep an extra blanket and pillow in their hallway closet in case Timmy stops by for a surprise visit, or if they take the time to learn what foods he likes and that he's allergic to oranges. Or they keep the pantry a bit fuller to feed another mouth. Then it's for them to know and no one else.

I’m relistening to Empires: The Musical again

And can I just say, having Oli the Orionsound voice the prophecies in the background was a fucking spectacular choice in my opinion

There’s something about the way that he says the prophecies that scratches my brain in the right way. And the way that his voice overlaps itself in The Prophecies sounds so intimidating compared to most of the songs around it, which makes it feel like we now know something we shouldn’t, something ancient, something once discovered, something that was left behind when all the things that knew of it were dead because of it.

And it’s really fucking cool

Also I don’t care how distorted Xornoths voice is, Your Old Friend Xornoth is a fucking banger and Lizzie’s lines in that song are my favorite part, and Xornoth referring to themself as “Big Daddy Xorxor” is comedy at its finest because the only person who would actually call them that is Joey, and Xornoth doesn’t socialize with anyone else (with the exception of of Sausage, but tbf Sausage is…. Sausage)

Tldr: please listen to Empires: The Musical if you’re into Empires smp s1, I need someone to shout into the void with 😭

desert duo feed on one another's vices.

grian keeps secrets. scar plays at incompetence. these are so connected to each other.

it's easy for grian to dismiss and infantilize scar; he does it all the time. he spends so much time in double life denying him autonomy and scar lets him, even feeds it. grian keeps secrets, and scar allows him to think that scar can't possibly know his secrets—the sugar cane, bigb. even when it becomes evident that he does know, grian is utterly dismissive. scar never challenges the 'you-don't-know-what-you're-talking-about' tone, because why would he? scar plays at incompetence.

scar pretends not to know that grian is hiding. grian likes the illusion of scars lack of knowledge. scar is fed by grian's willful disregard. grian is fueled by scars willful ignorance.

in a very fucked up way, they complete each other. they make each other worse and i just think that's wonderful.
