The one where having a secret lab in the basement is not as much of a red flag as it should be.
Because somehow, EVERY. SINGLE. ADULT. IN ALL OF AMITY. Have “secret” basements.
Sure, MOST of them have refitted them to act as emergency bunkers in case there’s another large-scale ghost attack, with rations and shields and blankets and all that, BUT. Even BEFORE the portal opened up, they were there.
Some of them were laboratories dedicated to one of many sciences. Some of them were just storage for the more concerning family heirlooms. At least one person kept the taxidermied bodies of each and every pet they had over their lifetime. Really, it was more odd for someone to not have some weird secret in their basement.
So when Danny ran from Amity and learned just how many people didn’t have strange, niche basements for their hobbies, he was a little put off. When he was eventually asked to stay with the Wayne family in Gotham, well, maybe he could have phrased it better.
How was he supposed to know that asking if they had a “super-secret basement either for your job, your personal life, or disaster prevention” would lead to them thinking he knew about their nightlife?

Inspired both by the recent solar eclipse and this post by @otiksimr, an art piece I’ve never been prouder of, my WoF oc Sunkiller!
Born under a total solar eclipse (ask me about my temperature-based nightwing hatching headcanons. and also my headcanons about how sunlight affects nightwings.) and blessed with the ability of perfect knowledge of the past, or at least the past where dragons exist. This of course makes her an invaluable resource to historians everywhere, which she is absolutely sick of, and so has gotten very adept at the hermit lifestyle. For pity’s sake, you solve ONE cold case murder as a hatchling, and suddenly EVERYBODY wants your attention…
(if tui has declared anything canon about nightwings and solar eclipses, like she has for blood moons, which are lunar eclipses, i haven’t seen it)

What about a hero whumpee currently captured by the villain whumper, and villain gives them a scar for each person killed by villain or their henchmen {or just non-natural cod} while hero’s there.
Of course, it’s not actually their fault but nevertheless; the hero blames themself for each death and it’s only reinforced by the villain cooing “you deserve it.” right in their ear as they cut each and every scar

Something that seems really obvious to me, but what I haven’t seen very much is that Milla has a really good second reason for wanting to change how her name is said. In PN2 she says that her full name is Camilla, but when she started working with the Psychonauts Sasha mispronounced it and she didn’t have the heart to correct him. So she’s been going by “Me-yah” ever since. It’s a cute story.
But it also makes sense that since her nightmares call her “Me-Lah” from her memories of reaching out to her children with telepathy, that she’d want to distance herself from that name. I mean it would probably trigger her to be called that name. Since she (wrongfully) blames herself for not being to help, she probably feels that “Me-Lah” was the failed mother who couldn’t protect her children.
So she starts her new job with the Psychonauts, protecting the world and exploring the human mind. She’s going to be a cool spy now, but ever since the accident whenever someone calls out to her she is filled with guilt and the feeling that she can’t protect anyone. Then she meets her new field partner, he’s cute, she thinks. And then he gets her name wrong, maybe out of ignorance or nervousness, but it doesn’t matter. “Me-yah.” And she didn’t get that feeling of dread. There wasn’t that doubt or guilt, just…her. Just “Me-yah.” She knew that she should probably correct him, it would be rude to just let him get it wrong, but she just….doesn’t have the heart.
Then she starts introducing herself to others as “Me-yah” and they say it back to her. And she feels fine, happy even. Sure, it doesn’t erase all the bad feelings about the accident, it’s still effecting her a lot. But for this tiny little thing, it’s easier for her.
And as she pulls off mission after mission, she feels less like that failed mother. She wasn’t “Me-Lah,” the woman who could only tearfully plead that everything she loved stopped burning. She was “Me-yah,” the Psychonaut.

Quirkless college AU where Keigo is your annoying teachers assistant for one of your majors classes. He never seems to give you that A you deserve, and is hellbent on going back and forth with you about every little thing. About every little grade, every little answer you submit, every little note he likes to leave on the corners of your papers. He mocks your handwriting with his own chicken scratch, even writes a ‘wtf are you trying to say???? is that supposed to say RHETORIC?????’ on one of your papers.
You wanna complain about him to your professor when it comes to his attitude and nitpicking, but the prof always just tells you to take it up with the TA yourself. And that’s exactly what the golden haired man wants, and it’s so painstakingly obvious with the way he absolutely grins when you drag your feet into his ‘office hours’ (aka him sitting in the library for the same amount of time every week).
“I was wondering when you’d ask me to round your grade up.” Keigo doesn’t even greet you, just leans back in his chair as he folds his arms over his chest. His smile grows even wider when you narrow your eyes and huff at him, snatching the chair out from across him to plop down heavily.
“Give me the grade I deserve, and not the grade that drags me here to be with you.” You’re all snaps and irritation, and Keigo loves it—eats up the way your bottom lip juts and your brows furrow down and, oh, you’re so goddamn cute when you’re annoyed.
“Go on a date with me this weekend, and I’ll change it.” Keigo blurts out with a lilt of his lips, eyes squinting when you reel back with a scoff. You stare at him for a while before answering, and he can’t help but notice how shifty your hands have gotten and how it grows harder to look him in the eye now.
“I feel like that goes against policy.” You mutter, picking at your nails before glaring through your lashes. Keigo cocks his head to the side, smiling.
“Don’t tell me you’re a goody two shoes.” He teases, tilts his head in your direction, watches the gears turning in your head as you narrow your eyes at him.
“Fine. One date, and you give me extra credit on the last paper.” You bargain with him, glaring at his hand when he holds it out for you to shake. You pause before you take it, frowning when Keigo grins wider and leans across the table.
“Looks like you’ve got yourself a deal there, birdie.”
And after that, it becomes routine for you both. Keigo enters the most foul grade he can until you show up at his dorm room furious and seething, all so he can pull you in to his space and kiss your puffy cheeks while you enter your own grade in the system. He’s a bit of a jackass, but you think it’s all worth it, especially when he shows you the expansive winged tattoo on his back and the quickest and most efficient way to do eyeliner. He’s good for something, you guess.

usually when i introduce the show to people i tell them about the puppets and i show them this picture because it’s one of the top ones on google and it’s beauty and the beast. of course. the one with the puppet puppets. cutest sweetest little number in the whole thing. but then they ask me if it’s a horror show. i forget that the average person’s first thought upon seeing a blank-eyed puppet girl is apparently not going to be “omg little dea :)” it’s going to be “oh… that’s creepy.” although…
…creepy images of puppet dea do exist. i’ve seen pictures of fnaf characters that look exactly like this.
