#random thoughts about the ending

[bubblescyllas]

Timeskips can be a hit or miss, which is why I'm usually nervous when a show uses one. However, in this 12-episode story, the timeskip was incredibly satisfying. It conveys the heartwarming feeling that after all this time, they have remained a family. Although their appearance has changed, and their interactions have shifted towards playful banter, the love between them remains the same. Ultimately, the ending showed that ten years later, they are safe and content. The risks that Rei and Kazuki took to become a family for Miri paid off. They changed their lives for her and ensured that even after all these years, she is happy. And that's what truly matters.

The Stand-in Job

Danny loved his job. It was an easy on call job he got rather on accident. But it paid well and gave him enough time to deal with ghost matters outside of scheduled work hours.

Though now he got stuck in a situation his Boss had not provided him with a script and or explanation how to behave for.

Danny was a simple Stand-in. Sort of like a Stuntman kind of job. His boss was paying him to simple take his place during public appearances, or meetings with no big decision he has to sit through just to listen. Or on the easiest of days, to just sit in his boss office so it appears that someone is there while his boss was doing who knows what. Danny doesn't question, that's why his boss liked him.

But again, no where in his contract was described how he was supposed to handle this situation. So now he was stuck having beat up a couple of wannabe kidnappers and some vigilantes talking to him all casually going on and on how 'Tim', his boss, wasn't supposed to do that to not risk his public image. Should he record this as evidence for his Boss? It sounded like these vigilantes were spilling some of his boss' secrets that shouldn't be known to the public.

Tim just needed someone to sit in his place to make it appear like he was there when he had cases to work through. Danny was the perfect hire for it and Tim liked very much that Danny doesn't ask questions, like he understood. Yet when Danny sent him a text questioning how he should behave as Stand-in in front of Gotham's vigilantes.... Tim wasn't sure if he should feel offended or highly amused about his siblings not realizing that the one kidnapped in public hadn't been Tim but his Stand-in Danny.

Dick and Jason talking on a rooftop

Dick: So you just, like, told that crime alley kid you guys are family now?

Jason: look Dick, if you don't like someone's family, you gotta become their family. If I'm those kids' big brother, then I know they have at least one family member who cares about them.

Dick: You're turning into your father

Jason:

Jason: I will give you 5 seconds before I beat you to a bloody pulp

Batman: *suddenly standing over them* You will do no such thing

Jason and Dick:

Jason and Dick: *both hanging onto the roof, trying to pull themselves up*

Jason: I can't believe you summoned him

Dick: Me? It was you and your 'beat you to a bloody pulp'

Quick! Quick! everyone think about wing au and uncanny valley

this has nothing to do with the other wing au post

imagine Ghost lost his wings at some point in life. he lost one before he even joined the military, he'd gotten bitten by one of the snakes his father made him kiss, and he lost his wing to the venom. he was extremely extremely lucky to have not lost his life, but the anti-venom was too late to save all of him.

he is quickly seen as even more of an outcast after that.

then he joined the military, most people find it weird to see a man with only one wing, but they find it creepy to look at a man with no wings. he knows from experience, of trying to hide his one remaining wing.

then Roba happened, and his last wing was stolen. taken from him like some sick trophy, as if his very sense of self wasn't enough for the sick bastard.

when he escapes and kills Roba he takes back his wing from where it'd been hung up like a piece of art, and burned it.

when The Ghost is born the lack of wings help feed into the creepy, non-human aura that the man seems to give off. he used to be called Ghost because of his ability to seemingly appear and disappear with near silent steps. not they call him The Ghost because looking at him makes you think you've met a demon.

think about soap who has a sister who's umbilical cord got wrapped around her throat during birth, and this affected the growth of here wings. they're severely underdeveloped, and atrophied, and are more often than not able to be hidden under a slightly oversized hoodie (one of his)

soap who isn't scared of Ghost when they meet. soap who sees Ghost's lack of wings, and wonders if he was born like that or if something happened. soap who treats Ghost like any other person. soap who offers to do things his sister appreciated him doing for her, so why not the ghost.

having read nearly all of the Jeeves short stories, it’s so funny to me that Bertie’s bisexuality manifests as casting a wide but shallow net at girls and a narrow but ridiculously deep net at men. He thinks girls are pretty on a reasonably frequent basis, and has tried to marry at least four women thus far (not counting the unwanted engagements), but when it doesn’t work out he’s over it in 24 hours. Meanwhile he shows absolutely no interest in and never gives flattering depictions of 99% of the men in his life, but will praise Jeeves to anyone who will listen, wax poetic about his appearance (and get defensive on his behalf about it when a child insults it), and is absolutely inconsolable when they are separated.

(also Bertie is in no way allosexual. he is canonically terrified at the thought of reproducing. and due to the narrow but deep net on the other end I don’t imagine he’s going around sleeping with loads of men, either. that man’s either demi as hell or just entirely ace)

i confess i'm a wee bit judgey when I see fics mention vampires biting into arteries, so please forgive this rambling:

like. arteries are located deep, because they need to be kept safe, because they're under such high pressure the chances of death of a leak springs up in one is very, very high.

there is no way vampire teeth can reach those. and no sane vampire would want to willingly feed from an artery. can you imagine trying to drink out of a garden hose at maximum pressure? extremely unpleasant (and unsexy).

on the other hand it's technically possible to drink from veins but. veins carry waste materials back to the places that are going to filter said waste out. no logical vampire is going to drink the sanguine equivalent of urine (unless it's a kink idk). venous blood would be easier to feed on, less pressure, but as mentioned. rather unpleasant.

which leaves arterioles as the best feeding spot(s). sadly while this would offer the best pressure for feeding there's also the pesky issue of coagulation. eating blood clots would be unpleasant (and unsexy ofc).

which clearly means that vampires would have anticoagulants in their... venom? saliva? magical undead mouth wetness? to help their feeding.

(mosquitoes also have anticoagulants therefore it is possible there are victims who are allergic to vampire bites and end up with a prolonged period of reddened skin and itchiness)

in conclusion:

artery feeding results in dead victims and unsated vampires

venous feeding results in (mostly) alive victims and unsated* vampires (*exclusions for vampires who are into venous blood for, uh. their own reasons)

arteriole feeding is ✅ with anticoagulants in abundance

(side note: do vampires need fiber in their diet. would it not make more sense for them to eat raw flesh if so. do vampires poop. how does digestion work. how does vampire metabolism function. are vampires anaerobic. have they formed a symbiotic relationship with microbes to run their metabolism. is vampirism a magical virus. help i have so many questions)

I just remembered I made a fake Homestuck page last night and can't remember exactly why I just thought it would be fun probably, h

still such a shame to me we never got too many good sburb shenanigans in act 6.

Something that would fix me: see on my screen Cas or Dean hug the other from behind in the bunker's kitchen, arms wrapped around the waist and head resting on the shoulder. You get it. You get the visual.

Bruce stared. He had just been lecturing one of his son on his gala manners. Dick or Jason were usually the ones misbehaving like that, not Tim! What had gotten into his son to behave like that in public when he wasn't even in a sleep deprived state. Of course, Bruce had to lecture his kid and benched him for the night to get some sleep because Tim had to be sleep deprived to act like that. That was untill said son, he was lecturing, came through the front door shouting at him for leaving him behind at the gala.

His head swayed between Tim and the teen he had apparently just abducted and possibly has now knowledge of their secret identities.

Okay, maybe Alfred was right about his amount of sleep. Bruce brain went to overdrive, he could play it all of with an extended Brucie act.

That was before the teen lifted on hand in a calming manner and sheepishly smiled at him.

Danny: I get the whole secret identity thing, but i dont think it's a good idea to bench me, when ghost might come attacking. I won't tell a soul about yours if you keep mine! I can make a death vow if that helps. So can I call vlad now? As much as I like getting on his nerves and away from him. HE is my original ride home.

Tim: Wait, Vlad Masters who pestered ME all night is your guardian?

Bruce continued staring at the teen that looked like Tim and was now talking to his son while his son was parallel texting on his phone. No doubt telling his other sibling.

Good, they will never let this go and Alfred will use this situation against him next time he works through several nights.

Okay, but as much as I LOVED Adam vs Lucifer, can we please talk about Adam vs Alastor??

[blue-rose-soul]

This rambling post includes spoilers for episode 8 of Hazbin Hotel:

Okay okay okay, so, the thing about Alastor's fight with Adam is...

He was doomed to fail from the beginning.

It's been established that, much like sinners, angels can only be killed with angelic weaponry, but Alastor went into that fight with only his own powers. Was he that arrogant that somehow he'd be the singular demon in all of Hell - the Sins included - to be able to overcome this rule? I mean, Alastor is pretty arrogant, but it's not like he's stupid. The reason he decided to needle Lucifer by positioning himself as a father figure to Charlie (aside from the daddy issues I like to imagine he has) is because he knew from the very start he could never take Lucifer in a straight fight. It's not like he couldn't have used an angelic weapon; several of his shadow tentacles were throwing axes at the exorcist army before his shield broke.

Fuck, maybe he would have WON that fight if he had used an angelic weapon! Alastor put up a pretty good fight against Adam. He's obviously the more skilled fighter between the two, Adam just had overwhelming angelic power.

Alastor threw himself headfirst into a fight he had no hope of winning.

And he almost died.
