something I think u have to do if you make everyone else in the batfam a meta/magic user/bender/special abilities haver of some variation is make Duke the inverse

listen he's the only meta right? the only one with powers? if you make everyone Else have powers than what's his schtick??

(I mean other than being a genius teen activist and hero well in his own rights before Batman even sneezed in his direction but you and I both know no one cares about that -_-)

its about the Contrast okay

#batfam #duke thomas #bread talk #i just think its a disservice to his role in the batfam and in the greater cosmic narrative to just drop one of his Big Differences #this is Not an excuse to make him boring ill eat your eyeballs #he should be like dick in the titans #the absence of powers and how hard he works to make up for them Are what you should be afraid of #this is Also not an excuse to make him your damsel #actually i think thats a separate post #the point being he's Already zuko ya know? does he have powers? yes. are they his first instinct? no! he'll knock your fuckin lights first #fancy light show is Second

Headcanon that half the hermits wear falconer gloves at all times because Grian loves perching on them constantly.

#hermitblr #grian #scar and mumbo are the only ones who *need* them #grian started just instinctively perching on them #and after the first ten times of getting scratched up with bird talons #they got gloves #and a lot of the other hermits were like #“aw thats cute” #and got their own so grian could perch on them too if he wanted

Ahh ive been reading some of your writings and they're just so warm and fluffy to read (if that makes sense??) Though i cant really express it in the tags ;; also if its alright, may i please request blanket with mikoto or tears with fuuta? - @erimnar

Omg thank you -- I've been so grateful for your tags! :)) And thanks for the requests, I had a lot of fun with these woo! I went with a real fun one for Mikoto/Blanket (once again, picture T1 minigram vibes) and I'll post a slightly angstier one for Fuuta/Tears soon 👍

“Mikotoooo, just share with Muu,” the girl pouted. “I mean it!”

He scooted out of her reach. “What are you gonna do, stab me about it?”

Muu’s jaw dropped, but there was no real horror behind it. “Maybe!” She lunged for him again. 

After a strange rattling from the walls had woken some in the middle of the night, all the heat in the prison had seeped away. Es had left to fix it immediately, and no one had seen them for hours. In Mikoto’s opinion, they seemed better versed in law than plumbing and mechanical fixes. He had no idea how long they’d all be shivering like this in the winter chill.

The prisoners walked around all morning in a mismatch of spare layers. Mahiru giggled inside one of Shidou’s extra doctor coats, far too big on her. Mikoto hadn’t stopped laughing that Shidou owned extra doctor coats in the first place. Yuno’s stylish hats could be spotted on several of the prisoners, Mikoto included. (He’d given his own beanie to Kazui, earlier.) Fuuta had handed out a concerning amount of sweatshirts, and Muu had some fashionable scarves that gave enough warmth to be useful.

In addition to the ridiculous getups, they each carried their bed sheets around their shoulders. Mikoto was surprised to find himself the envy of the group.

A while back he’d requested a weighted blanket; he remembered finding one helpful when work got too overwhelming. Milgram had provided a fairly large one, though he felt it hadn’t worked as well here. He didn't expect it to cause a stir until Shidou pointed out that its weight would make it even warmer than his own. Following that, it didn’t take long to attract the small army of murderous children that were after him. 

As he stepped away from Muu, Yuno leapt at his other side, ready to snatch the blanket off of him. Although Haruka and Amane were too nervous to make a grab at him, they stood anxiously nearby rooting for his loss. Mahiru had jumped in as well. Her quick movements forced Mikoto to spin around and draw it even closer around his shoulders. Caring less about the blanket, but always ready to tackle someone, Fuuta joined the scuffle.

It wasn't like Mikoto cared about the blanket, either. He had no issue sharing it with the others. He knew the attitude in the prison had been dropping recently. Despite the brief camaraderie from sharing articles of clothing, everyone’s mood had been especially bitter today. As physical discomfort added to their mental strain, things could go south quickly. The place needed to liven up a bit.

He stepped back from the blanket thieves, flicking the corner of it from Fuuta’s hands. 

“Not so fast!”

Fuuta fumed. “You asshole…”

Yuno, meanwhile, seemed up for the challenge. “You’re quick!”

“I’ve had a bit of experience…” He flashed a wicked grin. Mikoto didn’t talk about his family much, but a few of the others knew he grew up on fairly good terms with a younger sister. His big brother instincts had developed just fine.

He darted this way and that. He faked and sidestepped and spun. As his opponents grew bolder, he ended up sweeping the blanket off his back. He swung it around the room with less effort than expected. He was stronger than he looked, and easily kept the girls at bay while wrestling Fuuta for the blanket. He let out a laugh as he fought back against all the grabbing hands. Taking advantage of the height difference, he lifted it directly over his head.

The position wasn’t the most secure, though. His taunts were quickly replaced by feigned cries as the others dragged him to the ground. As they pinned him down, a cheer erupted from Haruka before he covered his mouth. The others joined in the celebration as they claimed their prize.

Mikoto lamented, “you’re so cruel… you’re all so cruel…” It was good, he thought, hearing them all laugh.

The loss of his blanket wasn’t his only punishment. Heaving an exhausted breath, Yuno flopped down directly on top of him. She tucked herself and Muu into the blanket. Then Mahiru wiggled in, beckoning to Amane and Haruka. By the time they all nestled in, there was just barely enough room for Fuuta to squeeze in with everyone. 

Mikoto wheezed from under the pile of prisoners.

“Okay, okay,” he said. “You win. Fuck -- let me breathe...”

Mahiru just made herself more comfortable. “But you’re so warm!” The others muttered their agreement. Not one showed any sign of moving. The prison was far too cold to give up heat like this, after all.

“That’s because you all made me work so hard!” He huffed. “Come on.”

“What are you gonna do?” Muu giggled, doing a poor impression of his voice, “murd--”

“-- Aw, shaddup…”

#milgram #mikoto kayano #muu kusunoki #and others #it was silly but i was still able to wiggle some of my serious headcanons in! #mikoto being able to read a room and know when and how to pick things up with a bit of charisma #him having great big brother/roughhousing/antagonizing for no reason instincts sdfdsfds #and having a lot of stress relief habits that he swears by - and then cant understand why they arent working #(because orekoto usually does all the stress relief with physical exertion) #oh and also the fact that hes really chill about joking about their situation in milgram sfdsdfgfd 💀 #thank you sm for the requests! #and i mean it -- i was so happy seeing your tags ;-; ty for the kind words! #also ive been on this site for a while and its the first time ive seen that 'tagging a sideblog on an anon ask' trick so you get notified #thats so smart omg #ill tag you whenever i post the fuuta one #i know i dont have to do both prompts but theres no way im missing an opportunity to make my fave cry hehehe >:3 #drabbles

I need more content of Tim's jealousy when other siblings come in and become close to Dick. Like every time someone says Damian is Dick's favorite it hurts my heart a little cause I know how Tim would feel.

It's one thing for a younger sibling to grow up with you, cause like at least then you all have your defined roles and it's like what you know so you aren't stepping on one another's toes, but like it's something completely else to have a sibling who is already grown up come into the family and become siblings with your sibling.

It is just like that longing feeling when you see them together and like they haven't known each other as long yet they seem closer to your sibling than you are, and everyone knows they are the favorite and you are just like how do they get along so well with so little effort.

I need more Tim and Dick content like this. The boy went from being Dick's only sibling still around (aka no competition for being brothers and nothing to compare it to) to being like 1 of 5 of dick's siblings, and I know this also goes in reverse where the newer sibling is jealous of the older two siblings for already having the established bond, but I dont see enough of Tim having bitter envy of how close Damian and Dick are despite not knowing each other as long, like you want angsty relationships DC, show me this instead of just everyone trying to kill Tim, show me silent envy that grows more and more as it slowly decays a sibling relationship instead of like a weird ritual where if you wanna be apart of the family you have to attempt to kill tim

#sometimes i just need angsty tim #not tim getting targeted by siblings or tim getting annoyed at siblings #just Tim who finally became brothers with his idol and hero and formed a relationship with having to watch as it goes from their small #contained group of dick tim Bruce and babs where tim is like the best brother dick has got to everyone especially damian coming in #and tim feeling crowded out and jealous as damian and dick become closer than tim and dick ever were and tim slowly pulls away #and at first dick not even noticing and tim feeling guilty every time a dispute comes up and feeling guilty over how happy he feels when #damian ticks dick off and tim starts throwing himself into other things and flakes/cancels on things he and dick have planned and #finally one time tim and dick are sitting around and tim is like i miss how close we were and dick laughing is like well you're so busy now #and tim is like 'well its not like you need me anyway you have damian and jason and cass and duke and- nevermind' tim cuts himself off #dick is like 'timmy you know im still here for you just like before' and tim is just like 'yeah sure whatever' and heads out and then dick #starts noticing that tim is keeping him at arms length so he keeps trying to connect and he sees how tim keeps getting close with others #but that he refuses to with dick and then the jealousy is both ways and slowly they start to come together again as brothers and things #arent quite the same and probably will never be but they are still brothers and they love each other #but things are complicated when you go from the only sibling to having like 5 siblings and i want that explored more #i want these complex sibling relationships dc. give me this over trying to kill tim. there is more to siblings than the cain instinct. #anyway thats my rant #tim drake #dick grayson #batkids #batfam #bat family #batsiblings

Have you ever thought about how Holidate basically has a fandom of it's own inside the JO Tumblr fandom 🤔 that's what if feels like sometimes haha

nooooo stoooop dont say that i wouldnt know how to cope with that 😭

i think while it was still going on, there was definitely .... very high interest in it which i am eternally grateful for 🫶🏻 i think now that its finished its calmed down a bit and maybe it remains a favourite in some peoples bookmarks but i wouldnt claim fandom status for it hahaha

#and god i just hope i wont be one of those. those big fics in fandoms that almost everyone at least knows the name of and people are like #'oh thats a classic haha!' but then two years later everyones like 'yeah actually its not that good its pretty overrated but you just gotta #read it to get the jokes' #terrified of becoming that actually. when interest picked up around holidate my first instinct was like aahaha i should delete <3 #<- not gonna do that dont worry #inbox #sparkles-oflight

[kanalaure]

had a thought when i was in the shower, and the thought was 'maglor dual-wields bc he and maedhros learned to use a sword left-handed at the same time' and it started turning the wheels in my head

the thing is. it was, as his brother's regent and someone who lost three family members (three kings) to morgoth in quick succession (the last time bc morgoth is a sore winner and couldnt resist sending an army to a meet up), the best choice to make with the resources and information they had. leaving him, i mean. they didnt even know for sure he was alive until he was hung from the mountain, and the noldor literally could not have survived losing a fourth leader that soon (not to mention this would have put celegorm in charge, and..... well. well.................)

but

you cant tell me he didnt want to. you cant tell me that didnt eat at him to leave his only older brother, his king, hanging there while he lead their followers as best he could. but after everything............ really, how do you apologize to someone for failing to save them while proof it could have been done was dangling in front of your face?

and when i was thinking about all that i got this image. that when maedhros limps his way to the practice grounds for the first time, maglor is there. he stares at him across the field, and draws his sword with his off-hand.

"it's fair," he says, and nothing else

it's the only apology he knows how to make

#i on sheer instinct wrote 'nelyo' in that first paragraph bc in my head thats what mags always calls him as default #and apparently my brain has been on maglor so much lately ive started thinking of his brother by that nickname #maglor #maedhros #silmarillion #silm headcanons #silmarillion headcanon #feanorians #no shade to celegorm its just that he is an even worse candidate for king than kano is. bc i dont think he has any more native talent at #leadership. but that doesnt mean he doesnt want it. and that is a hella dangerous combination #this is sort of half meta half fic and god it took so much to keep it this short yall have no idea how much i deleted #i could really go on for about twenty pages about how i feel about their dynamic changing over the years #im gonna cut myself off tho bc its midnight and i have to be up for work and classes in....... seven hours

i never knew how much i needed that brennan siobhan izzy mother children siblings triangle

#also the sisters #all the family dynamics are so 👌🏻 #d20 #burrows end #viola going: its funny to me when my sister yells at her children #and tula going: thats my sister!! when both their first instinct is to fuck that bear up #plus that bit in the firsts ep and adventure party where brennan/tula is so relieved viola is like: that guy??! when ava tries to set her up

sometimes I worry if I've accidentally slipped into headcanons around stucky b/c the majority of the the fanon is so different and overwhelming sometimes but then someone shares the scripts to the movies and remember my "headcanons" are actual canon and I've just been forgetting how layered and deep devastating these two are and I'm not making it up omfg

Bucky was Steve's shield and savior the whole time keeping him safe he faced the brutality of war and tried to protect him from it and was willing to die to keep Steve rogers safe and faced indescribable horrors enslaved in his own mind for it, & Steve is pained in his soul for failing to return the favor and protect his hero in return and now Bucky Barnes is named as a face of evil while everyone praises Captain America and it feels so wrong to Steve and he throws his whole life into doing right by Bucky because he is his home he was the first hero and the history books will never give Buck his due. I am inconsolable T.T

MCU was cooking when they were first writing their story. Marvel needs to stop being afraid of stucky and get back to their roots they had such gold at the heart of their story it was like divine intervention how hard they went at the beginning

one of my fav bits of Steve&Bucky Lore that isn’t explicitly shown in the movie is that bucky isn’t only steve’s protector before the war, he’s also the first one who actually taught steve how to defend himself. steve’s motivation to stand up to bullies is completely his own but in the first vengeance comic (the tfa prequel) bucky, upon realizing steve is not going to give up on enlisting, decides that since he can’t persuade steve to stay out of it, he’s going to make sure he at least knows the basics of protecting himself. they go to bucky’s boxing gym together and bucky gives him lessons on how to fight, stressing the importance of steve focusing his tactics on speed and agility because the people he’ll be going up against are going to be bigger, but not necessarily dumb. he has a whole speech that sort of ties into what erskine says about steve being the little guy— and even when steve takes the serum and gets bigger and stronger, you can tell that he uses what bucky taught him. bucky didn’t stop protecting steve when they were apart. he did his best to prepare him to fight despite being frustrated by how steve was trying to throw himself headfirst into battle and i think that speaks to how much they understand each other. bucky knew steve was too stubborn to stay out of it and steve knew bucky would never let the matter go without doing his best to help. even when they weren’t necessarily on the same side of an argument, they were still a team, and that’s something that has never changed.

#i love first vengance sm theres sooooo much good material not just for the ship but also both characters #bucky has no issue acknowledging steves weaknesses because he knows where steve other strengths lie #my family forever there will never be anyone else like them #that one interview that talks ab how wartime bucky kind of works in the shadows & does some of the more gruesome work so steve wont have to #and thats another aspect of him protecting steve even after the serum like that shit is ingrained into his SOUL #its what makes the ending of tws poetic. bucky coming back to himself is a process kicked off by his instinct to protect steve breaking thru #‘​i know men with none of that worth ten of you’ ‘even when i had nothing i had bucky’ YEAHHHHHHHH. #the mcu can try and rewrite history but tws remains one of their best projects so that shit isnt gonna work! #stevebucky

drew zoe a few times today and while they're completely unrelated with entirely different tones, contrasting crops from what i drew early in the day vs a doodle comic what i just hashed out quick makes it seem like he just got z-targeted by the necrin for daring to have a single moment of mental peace which. yeah that sounds about right

#doodles #zoetrope #necrin #[necrin voice] aww you thought the day was gonna end without it going wrong??? Absolutely Not #blood cw #abstracted and obfuscated but just in case #i may have accidentally made him too cute in the first one #and so my brain did that weird primordial instinct thing where it sees something cute and Oh My God It SO Cute Squeeze It Until It Dies #and thats why he ended up having a Real Bad TIme in this random off the cuff comic my id was restoring balance or something

Wondering if tumblr is really good for me

#fudge does a talky talk #idk im just thinking #i keep on going to reply sections (bad idea) #and find myself getting into arguments #but what im most concerned about is how #idk harsh i feel im becoming? #like i try my best to somewhat be polite even in repkies but I find myself failing #and i feel like the hostility in tumblr reply sections in general might be a part of that #idk i probably just need to stay away from replies #i geuss whats concerning as well is that i usually tried to avoid arguments in the past #it felt like a pointless waste of energy that wouldn't change the other oersons mind anyway and woukd juetclead to anger on both sides #maybe in some ways its better that I'm more open to the idea people won't always be closed minded but #idk if thats worth the amount of aggression that usually comes with using tumblr reoky sections #or if replying and argueing at all is really worth it #or maybe I'm just blaming tumblr for a me problem idk #because I'll admit deep down kindness is not my first instinct #it is unfortunately to insult and attack perceived threats #i try to manage that but i don't always succeed #maybe tumblr doesn't help but idk #I know I don't usually make posts like these but #i geuss i should in case this leads to me not using tumblr as much? idk if thats going to haooen honestly but I'm thinking #In case it does i felt i should post this so people would udnerstand whats going on #i geuss i don't exactly owe anyone that but #I also wanted to get this off my chest #the more i think about it i think this is more of a 'tumblr bringing out the worst in me' then 'tumblr making me act a way i usually wouldn #idk what haplened with the reoly sections though i really used to not do that #geuss I've been desperate for human interaction? and getting into arguments is easier then starting a freindly conversation with someone #and idk maybe I've been feeling frusterated and like I can't really express my feelings to the people around me #so I've also been craving being able to actually say I don't agree with something #vent post
