#mothers ya know?

[therealvalkyrie]

so I’m going to a wedding on Saturday and I have nothing appropriate to wear, so I tell my mom I’m going shopping and she makes ONE comment and it’s ruined my whole afternoon lmfao

#she was like #you have plenty to wear #…..oh you just want something new #which OBVIOUSLY means she thinks I’m a money wasting consumerist intent on killing the planet one j crew dress at a time #so anyway I go out determined to have a good time #and I went to one place and found the PERFECT dress ON SALE but they didn’t have it in my size #and then I went to a second place and found an almost perfect dress and got that one #so I go to get a burrito bowl to celebrate a job well done #and realize it comes with cilantro which tastes like soap to me😭😭 #I’m eating it anyway #but THEN #when I sit down to enjoy my spicy soapy burrito bowl #I realize I left my phone in the dressing room of the first place #so I have to walk BACK and I get there juuuust before they close and get my phone #and now I’m sitting in the park eating and contemplating my existence #mothers ya know? #valkyrie talks #complain complain complain #sorry

Killer Croc's little bro was apparently in Gotham.

How did everyone know? Because he was seen physically dragging said older brother out of the sewers and into the nearest cafe.

And Killer Croc was just. So docile??? He was shy, a bit nervous, amused, and was practically harmless. Which wasn't something anyone would have associated with Killer Croc.

And the fact that said little bro can lift him up easily too? What kind of parents did they have for their son to be able to lift up the Killer Croc so easily?

Meanwhile, Jack just doesn't get why everyone reacts negatively to his big brother, it's not like he was a ghost for goodness sake and yea he's working on not being like he was before his son revealed himself to be part ghost, but still.

His brother was still human, just extra.

Why did Jack come to Gotham? He was kinda maybe forced out the house to go and find his brother because he liked talking about him but never actually went out to find him.

Jack and Croc may be half-brothers, yes, but he's still family.

Jack strongarms Killer Croc into not living in, well, the sewers and at his house he bought when he came to Gotham and they both caught up with each other's lives. Jack told Croc about his family, and by extension the shit views he's had on ghost because it was a major part in their family dynamics, and Croc told him about his own life in Gotham.

Minus the more gruesome, parts.

Killer Croc lives with him for a while and notices that he didn't really seem to care for his life. Which is a major no to Croc, who tries to get him to gain some amount of self-preservation, yes he knows that his little bro is more durable than the average human has any right to be but please for the sake of your big bro's heart, please take care of yourself.

Jack is a bit floored by this, and tries to wave it off as a non-issue. But if Jack can strongarm Croc into living with him, then Croc can definitely strongarm Jack into things as well.

Busting through walls is fine, alright. He gets it, it's very fun. But please don't stick random things into your mouth that can kill you, nor follow strangers down an alleyway and shrug off a stabbing (Killer Croc had some choice words and actions for the person who did such a thing.), and please, please practice stranger danger, little bro. Please.

No, he doesn't give two, three, four, five or ten fucking shits if you have microsurgeons in your blood that gives you a superhuman healing factor, you can still feel pain little bro, and stop skipping meals and sleep to work on your inventions! No, you cannot substitute either for energy drinks!

The batfam keep an eye on the two brothers and find it to just be the both of them strongarming the other into healthy behaviors basically. (With a lot of verbal and physical "I love you"'s, the Batfam could NEVER. slash joke teehee.)

#dc x dp #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #dpxdc #dcxdp #Jack Fenton and Killer Croc half-brother's au #Just wait until Croc finds out about his wife and son cause oh boy are they just as bad as he is when it comes to self-preservation. #Jack strongarms him into living a normal life where he doesn't hide away and deserves to be treated as a person #While Croc strongarms Jack into having more self-preservation that he seemingly lacked. #Wouldn't ya know a lack of self-preservation is a common trait in the Fentonnightingle history since the days or yore #Their dad had it and Jack got it unfortunately #Jack would also like to punt his mother for abandoning his brother. #You know your self-preservation is bad when Killer Croc has to strongarm you into taking care of yourself

i just think there are so many valid critiques of public figures, especially when it comes to politics/use of platform for important issues, and ALSO that these critiques can live alongside your admiration of their art or their brand or their personality. the internet really wants to act like if a famous person is not 100% ideologically pure leftist and practicing that constantly then you throw the whole celebrity out, but to me i think if you are looking to pop stars and actors for leadership in geopolitics or economic policy then you seriously need a reality check.

#yes this is about both taylor swift and beyonce #their praxis can be weak as hell and i can still call them mother! #if you are looking to billionaires to reflect your leftist ideas you are looking in the wrong place and thats kinda on you! #of course we should always be critical and asking for more from public figures #but you could always ya know direct all that energy at people who are actually elected leaders whose job that actually is

can’t stop thinking about caroline’s face when kendall said that logan made the children…she gave up her body and her identity and was a roy for awhile and grew them and carried them and birthed them. but he made them. and isn’t that how everything goes? he could never hold a whole woman in his head, but he could take their work and build an empire.

#ya know? #succession #caroline collingwood #kendall roy #and where’s connor’s mother? she doesn’t even have a name #no wonder rava is packing her babies in the car and running. it’s such a tragedy to not make the children you raised.

Sometimes being in love is like getting your eye gored in a fit of purifying violence, sometimes it's not

#I keep talking about the romance of cannibalism so much my mother has gotten so so so tired of me (my friends are more mixed) #but also she got me to watch The Hunger (1983) which was very fun and very 80s #its about consuming and being consumed!!!!!!!!!!! Eating your loved one because you cannot stand them existing outside of yourself!!!!!!!!! #being eaten because you cannot stand existing outside of your lover!!! Becoming obsessed with literally merging together in the goriest way #basically I cannot stop thinking about Hannibal (2013) #I couldn't figure out how to get Tz's horn to fit with the way I placed their heads and then I realized wough........it would be going righ #in Vris's eye if I keep their heads where they were so I just leaned in bc themes......motifs..........symbolism................ #blinding and being blinded is so central to their narrative ya know #anyway. this is an unhinged amount of tags I hope you had fun reading all of them #vriska serket #terezi pyrope #vrisrezi #homestuck #hs #my art #fantasy blood #religious imagery

Let teenagers experiment.

Let them figure themselves out without judgement or pressure to be anything yet.

Let them have what you didn't/don't.

Let them revel in their lack of responsibility.

They're not adults, but they're not kids, and it isn't terribly fun existing in-between.

Let them be.

If you are a teenager, try to find a way to enjoy this weird time when your body hates you, your brain might want you dead, everyone is telling you what you are and what to be and even your peers are judging you mercilessly.

Find what brings you joy and cling, just fucking cling. Revel in that thing that makes you smile, no matter how much it makes those around you cringe. If it brings you joy, it is worth your time.

It's hard, but you can do it.

You'll live through it. You'll be changed, maybe a little cracked, but hopefully unbroken.

#rambles #brought to you by my son worrying that he might be gay because boys are pretty but also so are girls and what is that #and my assuring him that he can love whoever he wants and his father and i will still love him #and also girls are super pretty and his mother is bi and his dad would totally jump into bed with johnny depp if he had the chance #there's no judgement in this house #but there is at school #and other places outside this house #so i wrote this thing #please be safe teenagers #and know that if you have nowhere and no one else #i mean it's not much nor am i but you're safe here and i'll love ya for whoever you are

Have a glass of digital water

Hope you guys are doing okay and I wish you all well. Today feels kinda gloomy for me and I know a holiday is up next. Regarding your circumstance I pray you all remain strong and well.

Hope I don’t seem weird but I do care for you all and everyone. I know I shouldn’t worry but I do. I wish you all happiness and good health. Take breaks, do little exercises to keep strong, touch some grass, breathing exercises, anything to make ya happy. (And please drink water I keep forgetting too!)

I just felt it on my soul to say something this evening.

Be safe this weekend everyone.

#health and wellness #checking on ya mutual #just felt off today #and I hope you all art okay #I know I seem weird but I do genuinely care for you all #mother’s day

Harry Kim saying Naomi is lucky to be born on Voyager and that he would have given "anything" to have her life when he was a kid...

#He sees NO downsides???? #Also I love how Neelix was yelling and panicked and Harry was like 'haha ok buddy. Hey this little guy is ugly huh~? See ya later!' #absolutely unbothered and not the least bit curious - love him <3 #saw someone post about how they don't like 'once upon a time' bc Neelix doesn't tell Naomi right away about her mother .... bro. #c'mon. Anyway I love Neelix and him trying so hard to shield Naomi from bad things / upset bc he KNOWS how fucking painful #it is to lose a family DID make me tear up. #Also Naomi in that burned-down forest (symbolic of innocence?) was a kickass visual. Neelix telling her about his family and Naomi trying #to comfort HIM??? SHE'S SUCH A GOOD KID MAN....Neelix making her a flotter doll was also v cute #OH AND Naomi going 'I Am Borg...' and Neelix going '~??? No you're not~!!!' and Naomi giggling...added NOTHING to the #episode - as it should be!! Sometimes you've just gotta have a really cute silly moment <3 #Tuvok: [says something] / Tom: Nice bedside manner Tuvok =_= #Tuvok: [about to say the most beautiful comforting words you've ever heard one parent say to another] And I took that personally. #Love how Naomi is scared of Seven at first...girl that's your roommate. #HEHEH she starts off the series scared of her but by the end she's her little buddy and also her intern #but yeah never forget that Harry Kim can and will say the most unhinged things but so casually that no one will really clock it #NEVER forget that he says he remembers.....either being an infant or his own birth - both WILD to me #Harry Kim lowkey loves destiny and being special and the idea of 'chosen ones' and the narrative even though he will fight it all if it #harms the ones he loves #Harry: (guy from an alternate timeline who replaced the dead Naomi with the alive one from his own) That kid's living the dream <3

The funniest thing Arc-v canonizes about the yugioh world is that it is so single parent friendly that Mr. Boyle just suddenly had a daughter one day despite not having a partner or mentioning adopting and everyone just. Didn't question this. For years. Including the father himself.

#I know there was magic involved #but it is very funny to me that the part Yusho is confused about is Skip not remembering her birth and not #ya know. WHO the mother is #yugioh canon said sometimes you wake up and you have a daughter and thats normal #yugioh #yugioh arc v #ygo arc v #skip boyle #zuzu boyle

doing a lot of thinking about how scared sam was as a child

in the pilot we learn sam left hunting, not because he wanted normal but because he wanted safe.

in a draft of the pilot script, sam says he doesn't want to help dean find john because he "just stopped having nightmares" (obviously taken out because it would contradict later plot lines with sam having nightmares about jess dying but i wish they had replaced it with something similar because i think a lot less people would think of sam as selfish if we had got to hear it)

we also get this scene in 1x04

this is four episodes into the show! sam has been back in hunting for a month? maybe? and he is already having nightmares about the job again (and while dean tries to act tough, sam sees straight through him and knows that he's scared too)

hunting again is bringing back bad feelings that he thought he'd left behind but at this point, he is motivated to find his father and avenge jessica so he pushes through his fear, as a kid he didn't have these things to fuel him. he was just this sad lonely little child who was terrified out of his mind about all of the evil in the world that he should have been sheltered from!! terrified that his dad and his brother were going to be killed anytime they were out of his line of sight!!

in conclusion, i could've raised him, i could've kept him safe

#no cuz rip to john winchester but??? wtf was that? #if i was sam winchesters parent and a demon had a killed his mother in his nursery i wouldve looked into protective sigils and probably kep #an eye on his friends to make sure they werent... ya know... possessed???? #i get its just a weird writing thing it had to be this way for the plot but fr johnny boy u r an idiot #especially cuz i always thought he learned the demon was after sam from Missouri #“i went to misouri and learned the truth” and she clearly knew the demon was looking for sam in season 1 so #so like john has known since sam was a baby in my eyes and yet?? #he was letting him out of his sight? wow he really didnt give a fuck about him lowkey #no he loved him very much he was jsut dumb #sam winchester #supernatural

if your activism consists of protesting outside a cancer treatment center and disrupting a memorial for victims of a mass shooting i’m not inclined to believe you care about your cause so much as you care about getting attention and harassing whoever you deem immoral

#protesting MSK was not on the bingo card but here we are #and neither was demanding a ceasefire from biden by interrupting his speech at Mother Emanuel AME #ya know. #the church where nine people were murdered in a white supremacist mass shooting #the deadliest mass shooting in SC history #im not convinced y’all 1. care about palestinians or 2. know anything about Judean-Israeli-Palestinian history #i’m not convinced you care to know either #antisemitism #judeophobia #leftist antisemitism
