#watch it and weep

Now if there’s one thing I love more than angst, it’s Dick Grayson angst feat Batfam. So, instead of studying for finals, I present this:

Bruce, Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian are captured somehow. Who what how idgaf just roll with it. They’re expecting the normal torture identity reveal bullshit, but instead this villain changes things up.

They are going to be watching Dick’s memories.

Instant freak outs from everyone no one (Jason, Tim) wants to see Nightwing’s infamous hooktips, nor do they (Bruce) want to see how their actions have truly affected Dick. Dick, who is freaking the fuck out because holy shit does mans have trauma and baggage that no one knows about and oh god his dad and his brothers and son are going to watch— But before any of them can do anything, magic wavey hands, the first memory starts.

Definitely don’t think about Dick bursting into tears at the sight of a young 20-something Mary Grayson holding a black-haired toddler, rocking him gently as she sits on a platform above a net while a young 20-something john Grayson practices, taking frequent breaks to check in his wife and their few-month old baby.

Definitely don’t think about how identical Dick looks to John, from the hair color to the jawline to the build, but with Mary’s curls and blue eyes and smile. Definitely don’t think about baby Grayson being left with Zitka while Mary starts training again, the elephant doting on him like he’s her own kid. Definitely don’t think about his first words being “fly” and “up.” Definitely don’t think about all of his aunties and uncles and cousins spoiling him rotten, showing him all their tricks; pickpocketing and knife throwing and contortion and flying-

Or how the first important memory Dick has is of being in the air with his parents. Or how Dick’s “cradle” is a chest they use to store clothing and baby supplies during the day, and at night line with soft pieces of scrap fabric from the tent and costumes to lay baby Dick down in.

Or how in every memory, Dick is called Robin— my Robin, little Robin Grayson, this is my son Robin— unless he’s performing, only then called by a stage name of “Richard” and “Dick” by fans; how Dick’s real name is Robin; not a nickname, not a petname, his name.

the modern villainisation of demeter will never cease to enrage me bc it wasn’t ENOUGH to just take a story of a girl being torn from her home from everyone who loved her and dragged away to be forced into marriage and twist and corrupt it until it was a romance story about female empowerment that wasn’t ENOUGH they HAD to take the original hero of the story the mother who went to every length to find her daughter again to bring her home and demonise her character until she was this horrific overbearing unloving mother. overprotective controlling without love. they turn the story of her grief at her YOUNG daughter being torn from her without her knowledge into the story of a misunderstood bad boy and a horrible cruel mother who won’t give him a chance and i really find it sickening. it’s ironic, that the ever misogynist age of hellenistic greece, has a better grasp of how disgusting and horrifying this situation was that a modern, self proclaimed ‘feminist’ era.

List of responses to “don’t you fucking dare die on me— stay with me, you fucking asshole—” 

(tw: death)

“I love you. Now say it back.” “Please— stop talking, save it till we get you help—” “Say it back—“ “I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you so fucking much, please don’t leave me—”

“Hey, at least I loved you till my very last breath, right? Like I had promised.”

“Y-you know… If there’s any place I know I’d rest easy, it would— it would be in your arms, where I’ve always… Always belonged.” 

“I’m sorry I couldn’t go to the very end with you.” 

“Funny how I said I’d drag you to hell with me yet I’m going to hell way earlier than you are.” “You— you idiot, this isn’t the time— just... Just shut up and stay with me, damn it—”

“Just know you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

“Saying this before it’s too late… I’m grateful for you.”

“Kiss me one last time?” “No— no, this isn’t— it won’t be the last time—” “Just shut up and kiss me.” 

“Ha… I told you you’d outlive me.” 

“I’m sorry…”

“Don’t miss me too much, okay?” 

“I like it better when you’re smiling, sunshine. Smile for me, please? Just so I can… Just so I can see it one last time.”

Something I absolutely adore about The Lord of the Rings is the healthy depiction of masculinity, and how it's not seen through just the Hobbits - who are known for valuing friendship, love, and a quiet, simple life. It's Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Gandalf, Boromir, Faramir, Eomer, and Theoden. All of the men love, they laugh, they cry, they express themselves, they grieve, and they're never weaker for it. In fact, it's this emotional vulnerability - their capacity for love - that helps them succeed in saving Middle Earth. It's such a refreshing and beautiful thing to see.

Just props to JRR Tolkien for writing the characters the way he did and to Peter Jackson and the cast for bringing it to life so beautifully.

One of the funniest ideas I’ve had when creating ideas of Bingqiu having kids is what if one of their kids makes the declaration one day that they want to be a Bai Zhan disciple.

It has to be an absolute record-scratch moment when they hear their kiddo go “i wanna join Bai Zhan!” when asked about which peak they’d choose at Cang Qiong, and the look of horror Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu share when that declaration sinks in.

Cause they have provided the best education for their children since the day they’re born— fitting for a heir of the Demon realm and child to the 2nd ranked peak lord of Cang Qiong. They’ve gone to great links curate lessons plans to their children’s needs, get the best tutors for any subject they’re not acknowledging in, and this one wants to choose the peak of sword-wielding brutes???

Oooh you better believe that Bingqiu are trying everything to convince their kid to choose someplace else— anything else besides Bai Zhan. If they don’t wanna choose Qing Jing that’s fine, stings but it’s fine, there’s plenty more to choose from!

You can learn plenty more about leadership at Qiong Ding if your heart's set on ruling, or there's Qian Cao whose a very respectable choice there's nothing to sneeze at for all those medical skills. If it’s about swords then Wan Jian fits the bill! And yah know, An Ding isn't that terrible.

Just for the love of god, don't choose Bai Zhan.

Okay. I need everyone to know right now that from Skizz’s POV, when etho killed him for the final time and it looked like skizz didn’t get to say anything back, skizz actually said “I do too.” Those were his last words.

“I just wished you played this game better.” “I do too.” I’m gonna combust.
