The Average Alfred Pennyworth Portrayal: *is Bruce Wayne's capable and somewhat cryptic butler*
Gotham!Alfred Pennyworth: *threatens an 11 years old boy to eat his dinner proper because if he doesn't he'll be too light in weight by the morning and the Balloonman will come for him and will tie him to a balloon and send him to the skies to die because he's rich and corrupt and forever guilty*
when some guy on TV calls you a little bitch and you start to feel Actual Emotions for the first time in your life
I wanted to kind of leave it ambiguous as to what exactly Light is referring to here, but rest assured, he has never felt anything like it before he came into contact with that scrunkly man lol
Let your hatred go and see the truth. If zutara did become canon, Aang would be so happy for them. He'd be the Charles Boyle to their Peraltiago.
He has their anniversaries memorized, he would try to be the best man and a bridesmaid, he happily kicks his feet while doodling them holding hands, and if you say any bad thing about them, Avatar State.
there's something absolutely brain-inducing about the whole "only a borgia, it seems, can truly love a borgia." quote which serves as the main theme of the three siblings' relationships and repressed feelings and it's a result of how dysfunctional and unhealthy their dynamics drove them to the extremes with each other; cesare and lucrezia becoming too incestuously codependent while juan becoming too much of a lonely yearner which provokes him to act incestuously aggressive toward his siblings...
For all the bemoaning on reddit especially about how Melinoe's female relationships are toxic yuri and whatnot Mel's relationships actually score pretty low on the spiciness level when it comes to toxicities. Heck, I'd argue Griddlehark is more toxic than anything Mel has going on with Eris or Nemesis (and part of that is due to tone of each respective stories as well as scope but that's a different story). And ngl, Griddlehark isn't that toxic. Like we go further. Come back when Mel's trying to pull a Maika Halfwolf/Tuya Baroness
it's easy to forget that Minthara herself is a social abnormality in her home. She -
- is tired of the concept of having multiple partners, due to experience, and finds she prefers monogamy.
- is part of the Baenre circle who is pro-labor work, and working off debts, and criminals working off crime, favors all of this heartily over enslavement.
- gardens, likely prefers the company of her plants to people.
- would have been open to peace between the Underdark and the Surface Governments, like her Grandmother Yvonnel before her. This want for surface relations and peace, is what lead to her capture in the Absolute to begin with.
- has a more direct raising by her mother than most normal high born households, including being breast fed as a child - she did not have a wet nurse like most.
- thanks to aforementioned, she would have a more direct hand in her own children (and existing children)'s lives.
- married young, or what was close to Drow marriage, and was likely ready to commit a full life to said wife figure.
i find i funny how outside of tumblr, people seem to have a hate boner for ashley, or at least believe she is the root of all evil when it comes to andrew.
props to my boy. he is such a good liar that he managed to not only deceive himself, but also an entire audience, that he is free of any guilt and accountability.
