i think it's really funny when people try to assign batfam characters their own colors or whatever but refuse to use duplicates. could not be me. the inherent tragedy in using red for both jason and tim is something i will never get over
#jason is red in the sense of war. he is passionate and strong and a little volatile but he is also love and warmth and the fire you sit--#-- around on a camping trip#tim is red but like not because he emodies the traits you know#tim is red because jasons death haunts his every decision. even if not consciously#hs is robin because of jason and he can never really move on from that#like no matter how individual he becomes as a person there is always a part of him that will be overshadowed by jason and his death#and i think its so important to acknowledge that while assigning the characters colors#tim is also sort of red in the 'red in my ledger' way i think#like i joke about it but i don't think he actually killed anybody on the bruce quest yk#because it is a conscious choice for him to be the person he is#as far as he falls sometimes and as many lines as he crosses he will not cross this one#i think out of all of them he's the one who understands bruce's no kill rule the most. like just how it works in his head#but i also think he grapples with the urge to throw it out a lot more than bruce ever does#there is a lot of guilt in that. in wanting to just give up and end things because whats the Point?#whats the point in fighting the joker for the thirtieth time this month? it would be so easy to finish this fight.#when its him or me why do i still have to try to save us both. why can i not put my own survival first#but like he feels guilty for thinking like that#and i think red is a good color for describing that sort of feeling in wanting to give in and forget the rules#but also something about the like#metaphorical blood on his hands that does not exist#the literal and imaginary#jasons hands are coated in real blood of people hes killed and tims are red from his own thoughts#when jason washes his off it stays gone but tim can't get rid of what was never there in the first place#i don't know if any of this makes sense but my point is that they're both red to me#they're such narrative foils two sides of the same coin 'that could have been me' to me#woof.txt#dc#i think they look at each other and ask 'what if?' a lot#what if jason hadn't died. would he be more like tim.#what if tim just gave in to the urge to do something the easy way and kill somebody. would he be more like jason.

how's the other guy holding up
#submas#emmet#sketches#//#submas angst#this JUST in you can draw fanart .#THEY DON'T TELL YOU THIS BUT YOU REALLY CAN JUST POST LIKE. MOSTLY UNFINISHED DRAWINGS THAT ONLY CONVEY SOME OF WHAT YOU MEAN. AT 4 AM !#see it's very hard for me because i have a lot of serious THOUGHTS about these characters but#not the patience for the necessary care that would go into drawing them properly. or writing fanfiction long enough to get the point across#either way#i have a lot of thoughts on pretty much every aspect of how i think everything happens for SOME reason but I PERSONALLY#i personally think that emmet would take leave from work#maybe i will make a proper post about this another time but i was like#thinking just about. as much as he loves his job. he loved it when he was doing half a job built for 2 people. and the other person#was one of his favourites in the world#i don't think it would really bring him any sense of normalcy. to go do his job alone#and i don't think that keeping gear station in optimal working condition ''for when ingo gets back'' would necessarily be his top priority#the priority rather would be to try and get him back LOL#and it's important to ME that emmet actually succeeds in this#for a variety of reasons. but it's 4:30 am and i'm a little too tired to get into the intricacies of my imaginary reunion scenario#this is unrelated to that but i have also been thinking about like. i bet emmet would hate condolences#my friend said something that made me think about this a while ago but y'know#''i'm sorry for your loss'' do you literally not know that he likes winning more than anything else 🙄#anyways that's enough of that. i have more to say but maybe not in the tags. and another time

I found a bunch of snippets I wrote that I'm unlikely to put into any actual fics so now I'm going to share them here out of context.
“I finished one you know. Took a while, but I did it.”
“What’s this now?”
“I finished reading one of your dusty, Greek books. It was in English, but I read the thing cover to cover. Honest. It was pretty good actually. It reminded me of us in the end.”
Edwin was almost afraid what Greek tragedy Charles was comparing them to now, but he looked so proud for having finished it, so Edwin couldn’t help but ask, “Which one was that then?”
“The Odyssey.”
Admittedly that wasn’t what Edwin had expected, and as far as Greek epics went it wasn’t the easiest to get through.
“I guess they made a musical of it? Crystal was playing it for me, and the songs sounded pretty cool, so I thought I’d give the book a go. Gotta admit the musical was easier to follow. Words I never thought I’d say.”
“You said it reminded you of us in the end? I can see you as Odysseus. Strong, brave, and using his wits to beat his opponents in clever, unexpected ways. Who would I be?”
“Penelope.”
Ghosts couldn’t technically choke, but that didn’t stop the shock from causing Edwin to cough. Of course Charles was at his side in a second, patting his back as if that could help. “Sorry, sorry. I guess I should say we’re both Odysseus and Penelope. It’s like you said, right? Odysseus’s super clever and using his brain to get out of all kinds of problems. So, he’s like you. And Penelope is also wicked brilliant, tricking the suitors to get off her back. Odysseus was all determined to make it back to her no matter what, and she was willing to wait for him, even though she actually had no way of knowing he was alive. I think that’s both of us, innit? If we ever got separated, we’d fight our way back to each other however we had to, no matter how long it took.”

Some people really are just out here acting like it will completely ruin their lives to not be able to call everyone they/them regardless of the pronouns they have already been made aware of
"Well that's just your PRIMARY pronoun!" "well, they/them is technically gender neutral, so I just don't feel the need to describe your gender every time I talk about you. That would be like saying your hair color every time I talk about you!" How about if I take some she/hers to all of your clothes how would that be

Honestly, if you need to imagine your favorite OC or your comfort character telling you not to give up and that you need to take care of yourself so you don't spiral, that's incredibly valid. Today I was in the middle of an awful bout of anxiety and thinking "Madoka wouldn't ever want me to abandon hope" made me start pulling my shit together.
