demon girl tina who shaves her horns down, who tries to be everything a demon isn’t. never angry, never pressed, sweet and easygoing. perfect in every sense of the term. who’s traumatized from purgatory, who’s afraid of losing what she loves as much as she’s afraid of being shunned by who she loves for what she is. for all the imperfections that fracture her perfect image. who craves trust, a place to belong, the secret of who she is just bubbling under the surface, shaved down and hidden just underneath the cat ears she wears.
human girl bagi who embraces imperfection, who loves with loyalty and longevity. who would go to the ends of the earth for her loved ones, knowing their worst sins, their terrible crimes, and going I will love you anyway. I will be there for you anyway. who’s best friend is a demon, who she knows is a demon, who she met at his worst, and wouldn’t let him go through it alone. who understands the importance of secrets, which means she knows the value of honesty, and is ready to lay out all her truths once she cares about someone enough, trusts them enough.
tina getting flighty and nervous when she’s told that it’s love what bagi feels - not because she doesn’t feel the same, but because she does, and it’s all she’s ever wanted, and isn’t that just terrifying? because she doesn’t think she fully deserves it. not yet at least! and she doesn’t want to lose it. imperfect, clumsy, secretly a demon tina, still processing purgatory and everything that came before, so afraid because she believes she can’t measure up. once she’s worked on herself, once she’s perfect, she says. once she stops panicking at purgatory flashbacks, once she stops losing her temper, once she can provide stability, once she’s shaved her horns and they stop growing back - then she’ll be ready. as soon as she’s made herself into something easily lovable.
bagi listens to tina as she spills some of this to her, under the moonlight along the beach. not quite all her worries, but some, just like she had given not quite her whole heart, but a part of it, in that room that represents bagi’s mind. and bagi doesn’t press for more than what she’ll give, because she cherishes what has been given already, because she’s in no rush and has no where else to go, because above all else, she’s in love and willing to wait. and in the meantime, she’ll reassure tina that she doesn’t want perfection - she just wants tina the way she is.
I understand the appeal of Shen Yuan having a shrine of Luo Binghe merch however it is cannon that he read PIDW in 20 days then died.
So I question the validity of him being able to accumulate large amounts of merch(and have time to set it up) in his already rigorous reading schedule (which was anywhere from 580wpm to 725wpm a for 23 hours every day factoring in ONE SINGLE HOUR A DAY for him to do anything other than read)
So idk guys, Binghe merch shrine just might it be feasible, unless Shen Yuan somehow has 48 hours in a day.
i know hoyo is setting up rhine to have good intent and whatever in her trying to 'save' khaneri'ah or whatever; but i REALLY hope they stay with the cruel persona thats been built up for her. because it would be so wonderful to see a character who had good intent in the beginning just get absolutely corrupted; with the inability to ever go back to that prior state purely because of what had happened. also because there is NO way in her turning back after all that shit
wip blah blah blah im late on tags its not even wednesday haven't posted in ages ccau taking forever thank u zo @zozo-01 dying of dance disease so much uni work fed up w discourse just shut up and let me tell u about kissing boys

He hops up onto the counter with his pilfered mug of chocolate milk, legs swinging idly, inspecting the bloodbath of mixing bowls and ingredients that seems to happen every time you make this damn cake. “Hope you’re not expecting me to wash this up, my deviant. The amount of magic I’d need… Ugh, you’d positively exhaust me.”
“Really? And here I thought you liked it when I did that,” you say, crouching down to slide your cake tin into the oven and shut the door. “Don’t tell me you’re tired already.”
“Absolutely shattered,” he moans, taking another slurp of chocolate milk. “No energy left whatsoever - I really don’t know how I’ll stay awake all evening at this rate.”
“I must not be taking very good care of you, then,” Hoisting yourself back up to standing, you settle yourself between his legs where he’s sitting next to the microwave - he must catch your drift, if the interested look he gives you over the top of the penguin mug is any indication. “Letting my darling wear himself out so much… It’s just not fair.”
“Glad to see my plight being recognised.” The Pingu mug is promptly abandoned on top of the microwave, Gavin now much more interested in running his hands up and down your sides, and you shiver as he hooks his legs around your waist to pull himself closer to the edge of the counter. Yeah, he knows where this is going. “Though I can think of a way or two you could make it up to me…”
He gives you that big, pretty smile, lovesick and scheming all at once, and you’d be a fool not to give in.
[Pt-Br] - Eu acabei de parar para pensar e cheguei a conclusão de que preciso de uma Fanfic focada no Shen Qingqiu (Shen Jiu) ao som de "Can't Catch Me Now". Talvez eu deva escrever?????
[Eng - Google, not mine... I should stop think at the 1 am...] - I just stopped to think and came to the conclusion that I need a Fanfic focused on Shen Qingqiu (Shen Jiu) to the tune of "Can't Catch Me Now". Maybe I should write?????
i don’t really agree with the idea that ra’s can be swapped out for talia in terms of damian’s upbringing and nothing would change about the story bc he’d be near exactly as abusive as morrison wrote talia to be like.. no.. that’s just misunderstanding ra’s as a character which frankly a lot of people do. ra’s is emotionally abusive but there are still specific patterns to that behavior. he wants the people at his side to genuinely believe in his vision and abide by it and act upon it, it’s far more complex than him being a physically abusive person who would brutally train a child with no remorse or regard for that child’s well being. current canon esp in the last year has led to this belief that talia grew up cold and pressured to take upon the role and be the perfect weapon but she didn’t. she and ra’s were implied to have a relatively fine relationship as she grew up and things only began to shift once bruce entered the picture and became an influence on talia and her loyalties
when the idea of losing talia to bruce began to veer into reality, ra’s became more possessive and insistent in what he wanted talia to do to ensure she would remain on his side. but even then when she ultimately left him for good to move to metropolis the retaliation that ra’s took out wasn’t on her, it was on bruce. he respected her attempts to break out and do something on her own terms, and that’s not to absolve him, i’m simply pointing out how he’s capable of respecting the people he cares about so long as they don’t go directly against him. so when you toy with the idea of ra’s killing damian’s adoptive parents (which is something i believe he would do. they’re an obstacle to his family after all) and thereby choosing to raise him on his own you have to remember that damian is ultimately a child who will possess little to no tangible worldview with respect to what ra’s is preaching (unless his parents are conveniently environmentalists and he’s a genius child which personally is a boring cop out)
so damian is this relatively unexposed kid whose parents suddenly die only for a man to present himself as his grandfather. ra’s pulls the strings to let it all show in the paperwork and damian goes home to one of his bases. and i think the first thing ra’s would do is teach damian about the world. about the way he views it but in the simplest terms understandable to a child. and he would pull damian into this world of scholarship and travel and athleticism not out of cruelty but out of love. bc there is genuine love that ra’s has for bruce and talia even if he eventually abused it. he was overjoyed when they were going to have damian. and he can still be overjoyed and engrossed in the idea of having a grandson to call his own and to teach his philosophy to even if ultimately what he would be doing is projecting his own desires onto damian. he can hope for damian to be the one person in his family who stands by him and understands him and follows him and it can be tragic bc we know his worldview is ultimately wrong and what he’s done isn’t right and damian needs to be rescued asap. but it would all be punctuated by love that would frankly be so much more interesting to explore bc the real crux of ra’s as a character is that he is incredibly proud and lonely and loving in all of the most heartbreaking and potentially unforgivable ways possible. he holds onto people too tightly without understanding why they might want to let go. and there’s no better person to explore the breaking point of that behavior through than a completely unaware damian who ends up on his doorstep and genuinely believes he’s going to live with a grandfather who loves him in all of the right ways. and love him ra’s does. just without telling damian all of the ugly truths it took to get him there
