we are underlevelled and poorly built, but thats okay.

Prompt 315

We all know the idea of Danny getting adopted by one of the batfam. But hear me out: Danny gets adopted by Vampire Dick Grayson. 

Danny honestly, did not mean to dimension hop, nor did he mean to get this injured in the first place, where his vision is spinning and there’s greenRedGreenGreenGREEN spilling from his body like he’s melting from the inside. He didn’t mean to get caught, he just didn’t want Dan to happen again, not again and the GIW had seen him flying and- 

And now he’s here, wherever here is, smoke in his lungs making it even harder to breathe than it was before. And there’s a shadow approaching, a flicker of crimson in his blurry vision, and there’s claws tilting his head and then something burns- 

Dick? Call it nostalgia perhaps, seeing this small child, so much like his little wing and baby bird once were, white streak and corpse-pale skin and all. He just wished for his dear brothers to join him, that’s all he wanted, and perhaps Damian won’t be so bitey if he got a friend…

[hellolulu]

[Damian in the Minecraft server excitedly showing Jon his extensive (and ethical) farms that he made while Jon was banned from Minecraft to focus on studying for tests at school]

Jon: ... yeah, you're so shit at Minecraft. Looks nice though!

Damian: ?! what do you mean? I worked hard on these????

Jon: *sigh* I'll show you what a real Minecraft farm looks like!

[Jon brings him to his "farm" and proudly shows off the fact you cannot tell the pixels apart as there are so many animals in one spot]

Damian: I....... have no words for this. Our friendship is about to end over this. Think of their feelings.

Jon: but this is how you play Minecraft 😭😭 next you're going to tell me you don't even eat the animals at your farm and they're just decorative 😭

Damian: I'M A VEGETARIAN. 😡😡😡😡 I MAKE BREAD. 😡😡😡😡😡😡 LOG BACK OUT. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

(green // blue means two main options, red means i need to think about it more)

The main details I'm figuring out right now are

does Celebrimbor still die at Eregion - I don't think he's getting captured/tortured, but he could still die in the battle. On the other hand, he could probably survive by using Narya & Lomion using Nenya, but that would definitely have repercussions further down the line

how does Idril's deal work - I'm currently thinking of Idril exchanging the location of Gondolin for her family's guaranteed safety, because it seems in character for Reverse Idril? But on the other hand, even if I limit it to immediate family at the time of the oath (tuor, turgon, earendil) then idk where turgon dies? Maybe Maglor can kill him but that seems kind of random

where and how does Turgon die

how does Prince Elrond's character even work

how does Numenor still fall when factoring in Prince Elrond - I'm thinking that the morgoth death cult gained enough traction during the time sauron was there that even after Elrond kicks him out, the cult still sticks around and reemerges later? The Fall still happens, but they never go to attack valinor and there's a good deal more Faithful (maybe 40-60%?)

if Getou received the support he needed, I really do think he would have taught alongside Gojo and Utahime. he and Gojo would have been such a nuisance, and I firmly believe they would do couple costumes at least one Halloween. Ketchup and mustard type of duo. The front and back of a horse. Minion and Gru. you KNOW they would have been terrors, and they would have loved every second because it would make their students laugh, at the very least.

[supermaks]

Kit do you not rep Charles anymore 😭

Of course I do he’s prime I just need a break from his team and that fucking dog

[fangirling-mess]

was about to have a stroke about this but i realized that it actually might be the best thing that’s ever happened to me

[rewritingcanon]

quoting the entire revised act four scene fourteen from the cursed child because it needs to be tattooed onto my brain:

SCORPIUS and ALBUS run into a room, and up a staircase where they are loitering and talking to one another. ALBUS is a few stairs above SCORPIUS, and is looking down on him. Enter ROSE who hides at the bottom of the staircase and listens to them.

Scorpius (excited): I can’t quite believe I did that.

Albus: I can’t quite believe you did that either.

Scorpius: Rose Granger-Weasley. I asked Rose-Granger Weasley…. to be my friend!

ROSE frowns in confusion and at the bottom of the stairs.

Albus (also excited): And she said no!

Scorpius: But I asked her. I planted the acorn. The acorn that will grow into our eventual… allegiance.

Albus: But you do know that Rose hates you?

Scorpius: Correction, she used to hate me, but did you see the look in her eyes when I asked? That wasn’t hate… that was pity!

SCORPIUS is smiling with glee, whilst ROSE cringes.

Albus: And pity’s good?

Scorpius: Pity is the start of a foundation on which to build a palace — a palace of harmony.

They laugh briefly, even ROSE has to stifle herself from her own amusement. Then ALBUS becomes serious and goes quiet. He steps down towards SCORPIUS until they are close together, and then puts a tender hand on his shoulder, almost intimate in the moment of it all.

Albus (quietly and very softly): And that’s who you want? In your palace?

Another silence. SCORPIUS looks confused, ROSE looks sad. She realises his longing.

Scorpius (floored by the sudden sentimentality of the moment): Yes… I— I think. Right?

ROSE steels herself, and emerges from her spot under the stairs to meet them from the bottom.

Rose: Hi.

SCORPIUS and ALBUS turn to her immediately. ALBUS’ hand is still on SCORPIUS’ shoulder. ROSE looks at the both of them intently, and neither boy knows quite how to reply.

Rose: This is only going to be weird if you two let it be weird.

ROSE looks between both of them very purposefully. ALBUS grows self conscious at this and quickly removes his hand from SCORPIUS’ shoulder.

Scorpius: Received and entirely understood.

ROSE looks at ALBUS.

Rose (very gently): Are you okay?

Albus (smiling at her but a little weak): Yeah.

ROSE smiles back, and exits. Another momentary silence.

Albus: Maybe pity is a start.

Scorpius: Are you heading to Quidditch? Slytherin are playing Hufflepuff — it’s a big one —

Albus: I thought we hated Quidditch?

Scorpius: People can change.

They both start walking down the stairs in the direction of where ROSE left.

Scorpius: Besides, I’ve been practising. I think I might make the team! …Eventually. Come on.

SCORPIUS starts walking off but ALBUS stops on the bottom stair. SCORPIUS looks back at him.

Albus: I can’t. My dad’s arranged to come up—

Scorpius: He’s taking time away from the Ministry?

Albus: He wants to go on a walk— something to show me— share with me— something.

Scorpius: A walk?

Albus: I know, I think it’s a bonding thing.

Both SCORPIUS and ALBUS pause before simultaneously and very dramatically pretending to vomit. They laugh.

Albus: Still, you know, I think I’ll go.

SCORPIUS reaches in and hugs ALBUS, who is a head taller than him due to the height of the stair he’s still standing on. ALBUS is frozen for a moment before he reciprocates and they are still. When ALBUS breaks the silence, his face is pressed so very close to SCORPIUS’.

Albus: What’s this? I thought we decided we don’t hug.

SCORPIUS dislocates from ALBUS.

Scorpius: I wasn’t sure. Whether we should. In this new version of us.

ALBUS smiles at him as SCORPIUS walks off without him. SCORPIUS smiles at him when he looks back.

ALBUS (still smiling, full): I’ll see you at dinner.

I desperately need the Thrawn stans (specifically novel Thrawn Stans) to remember that Thrawns whole deal is rebuilding the Empire and fighting the New Republic.

[deus-and-the-machina]

ffxiv garlemald discourse is so funny because people will go "ugh people just cant stand it when things aren't black and white" and then you look at how the empire are portrayed in stormblood and shadowbringers and its like hm. that seems like a pretty intense and accurate display of violent imperialism to me! Wow I wonder why people in this day and age may find it hard to feel sympathy for them or even hate them on principal. god its such a mystery.

the games like 50/50 to me on how it tackles these themes because I actually like the garlemald arc in EW, I think it has a lot of horrific and powerful scenes depicting how self destructive fascist propaganda and beliefs are, but I also think it doesn't go far enough on some fronts. the garleans' xenophobia is most notably and obstacle to getting them to accept the contingent's help, which is what they're there to do,

but there's never an admission of harm from any garleans on the uuuuuuuuh massive amount of war crimes the nations around them are still suffering from they're just kind of like "we misjudged you...but you actually wanted to help us all along" like yeah thats great now can we get you all some deprogramming because you keep talking about returning to your prime and glory days and I think we need to unpack some stuff you really SHOULDNT return to. im not even really talking about EW proper but the patches where things are a bit more chilled out and people are recovering.

It feels like they wanted to have their critique of imperialism and also have things end with the beauty of human connection and reaching out and these things just don't mesh well because hey a lot of your modern day audience is not gonna like having to treat people yelling xenophobic things at the cast and your character with kid gloves after you showed them hours and hours of the awful things these people's beliefs have done. especially in the present day hoo boy.

[grasslandgirl]

also also also I wanna write an essay abt s3 Jamie quietly not wanting to get himself in the swap and wanting to be more and do better and actively seeking out growth and self improvement and the twist of only Roy being the one to see it and Roy being the one that jamie goes to for support while ted and beard are set on keeping Jamie as what he’s always been (the striker who’s only good for making goals) and Jamie who wants to be more and better than that and oughhughhh. jamie who steps into a REAL leadership position not by being the ace of the team but by literally and metaphorically stepping back and being the CENTER of the team and the HEART and the CONDUCTOR and THATS when the team clicks and lasso total football starts WORKING and they find their groove bc jamie can SEE it and they finally LISTEN to what he's been trying to say ALL SEASON and theres just somehting sooooo crunchy and lovely and fulfilling about s3 jamie versus s1 jamie in what he wants and what he stands for and how he does it and oguhgouhorgh

jack coming back, showing pics of the crime scene to will AND molly, pressuring him to come back and molly telling him that she would be satisfied knowing he did the right thing and that he should go and Will actually going made me actually shed a tear.
