#also i wish i could fit the whole thing bc it was so hilarious but i already had too many gifs đđđđ.
ranking bllk ships based on how likely they are to be canon
this is me trying to be as objective as possible. my biases are def gonna shine through though lmao. i'll only be addressing popular ships for the sake of my sanity. also these are just my opinions so i'd be curious to see everyone else's predictions
ryusae - already semi-canon. their relationship probably won't get a lot of focus but i wouldn't be surprised if we got a post-retirement timeskip at the end of the series and it's revealed they got married lmao
reonagi - what even is the point of episode nagi if we're not gonna have a dramatic confession in the rain that wouldn't tonally fit with the main series
kunigiri - canon bi kunigami + the whole princess/fallen hero thing. i'm only 95% certain the development of their relationship will be romantic, but their relationship is def gonna be a core part of their characters as the series goes on
kainess - in my eyes they're already semi-canon ("it's a beautiful blue" sounds a lot like "the moon is beautiful, isn't it?") but i don't think ness's feelings will ever be reciprocated. or even if they are i don't think they'll be endgame for the sake of both their character developments yk
kaisagi - they're my favs so that's why they're this high but if i'm being serious, they won't become anything more than semi-canon. at most, we're gonna have a short bit with kaiser watching isagi clips again and going "wait a minute am i actually gay" and he accepts, moves on, and it's never addressed again
bachisagi - they have a better chance than most other ships but i really don't think they'll be anything more than platonic.
rinsagi - they have pretty decent chances but def not high enough to warrant them getting higher on this list
bachirin - i WISH they could be higher on this list :,)
nagisagi - the chances aren't zero but considering how much is going into reo & nagi's relationship + all the other relationships isagi has going on.... yeah they have no chance
barousagi - i'm literally just adding them bc i wanted a nice list of ten. as much as i love this ship i really don't think we'll be seeing anything from them :,,,,,)
honorable mention: egonoa/noaego - we don't know much about their relationship yet but i think it would be hilarious if they turned out to be canon exes. kaneshiro please

hi, apologies if Iâm using this wrong Iâve never really interacted on tumblr before.
but Iâve been following your HTP au and as many other previous asks have mentioned, it has consumed my soul and I love it.
however, I have been thinking about something and I wanted to ask if you/yâall. Apologies if youâve been asked this before, but I didnât see it anywhere.
So the helsmitâs names, very cool very cool (largishlegumes made me cackle when I read it for the first time) but for a while I was wondering why Bravo didnât have a similar name to Tango, other than the fact that theyâre from the military/NATO phonetic alphabet.
However! Iâm a nerd and I remembered something just now. Each of those words that represent a letter is also connected to a specific nautical flag used for signaling. And those flags have meanings!
B - Bravo means âdangerous cargoâ
T - Tango means âkeep clear of meâ
And that is hilarious. Also very fitting for their characters! And also kinda sad if you think about Tangoâs whole attitude towards himself, âkeep clear of meâ definitely makes sense.
I know yâall have only vaguely mentioned this bc of spoilers but like something along the lines of reflecting how Tangoâs more of a good person than Bravo is? Hmm
anyway, idk if yâall knew the flag meanings before you made this AU, but itâs very fitting which makes me think you did. If so, very smart! Thatâs a whole extra layer of thought and angst that others may or may not have recognized. If not, well thatâs very fitting and a fun coincidence.
alright well thatâs all from me for now. Keep up the great work both of yâall.
oh man i really wish i could claim that this had been the intent behind the names all along, but NOPE đ i was not, in fact, aware of the flag meanings. i literally just chose bravo because itâs part of the military alphabet and sounds similar phonetically (tan-go, bra-vo). plus, itâs higher up in the alphabet so it matches w bravoâs superiority complex. so, fitting and fun confidence!
i did originally consider a better corresponding name, like another dance term to match tango. see, iâve had this au idea for a WHILE (like, since helsknight was a Thing) but in between then and now, there have been many hels!tangoâs in the community and i didnât wanna use any of the names that had been used already, so that kinda ruled out the dance terms approach (waltz was a personal fave of mine, as itâs a great contrast to the tango style of dance but both are partnered ballroom styles).
so this is where we landed. very neat to know thereâs another meaning behind the names.

it wouldnt be that hard to do a chainsaw man universe x adventure time universe crossover honestly. the only thing that would have to change is humans being more aware of magic/demons before the war
ok i was writing this in the tags but i hit the limit so its here now
and the magic in that time being stronger obv. other than thay everything fits perfectly. i think. adventure time lore is extremely complicated and i only read csm once
oh also hell is called nightosphere now. marceline coming back from the nightosphere like Hey guys this is my new bud the Chainsaw Devil oh wait what would marceline be a devil of?? and hunson? vampire devil.... actually her and hunson would probably be the same thing since theyre related. what would hunson be? soul devil maybe? since sucking souls is his whole thing. vampire devil sounds cooler tho also can devils in csm even procreate like that
would marceline be a fiend? since shes half human in at. marceline couldve been born human in this and her transformation was her becoming the vampire devil fiend instead of her being born a demon and later being turned into a vamp. if we're going with '''ooo characters come to modern day earth''' would pb be a human or a devil? shes not a demon in at but shes also very much not a human being. and i think being the Candy Devil is hilarious
what the fuck would jake be. shapeshifting devil??? thats too specific what would be a devil w shapeshifting powers. the fucking uuuuuuh. slime devil. oh hey doesnt jake turn into slime during elements. eh idk
finn is just a human. FINN IS A HUMAN WHOS A DEVIL HUNTER AND HAS A CONTRACT W PB uh no but wait what would a candy devil even help you with lol she uuuuuuuh. actually pb could be a science devil who just happens to be pink ig. having a contract w a science devil would probably be useful and his part of the contract could be something like letting her run experiments on him. im thinking shed be like makima like just running around earth no big d not being killed or anything. but still probably kept away from society as being pink doesnt make blending in very easy
marcy is a vampire fiend who manages who hold in her urges very well if she gets a steady blood supply. she also works as a devil hunter but she doesnt rlly care she just wants to be able to hang out w her friends (finn and pb and jake etc...) and have blood. jake is there too i cant think of a devil for him to be and i donoh fucking wait hes just a dog devil lmao. who can shapeshift bc fuck you idk. i have no idea where simon would fit in this hes just some guy w alzheimers ig who marceline knew as a kid before she turned into a fiend? who else is there
peppermint butler: butler devil. yk the "the butler did it" trope. ive seen someone say before that bmo is the videogame devil and i agree. phoebe is the fire devil shes very powerful. VK was the devil that possessed marcy's corpse but like most of her brain stayed. idk where denji and makima and the rest are theyre doing their own thing. maybe finn&the rest r in the us (where OOO is) and all the csm plot is happening as usual in japan
fern was uuuuuuh. ok so a clone devil or whatever cloned finn and finns clone (wait was the version of finn trapped in the sword the alternate reality finn or was he the original finn? i dont remember) died and then the. grass devil. the plant devil (plants can be scary ok this devil could be powerful) fiended him and that was fern. maybe magic man was the madness devil and betty made a contract w him bc she thought he could somehow help her cure simons alzheimers but in turn he made her go insane? god i wish i was a writer bc im going nowhere with this does any fanfic wirters wanna steal this u have my permission

*bumps into you on the streets and slides an envelope in your jacket pocket* âď¸â¨ď¸đđ for you, my dear!
Oh there's a letter in my pocket! How sweet! *letter blows away in the wind* Oh no! my letter! *sighs and smiles* damn.. I wonder what adventures that letter is gonna find itself on
ignore how goofy and cringy that was,, it was on purpose â¤ď¸
âď¸ Whatâs your ideal writing setup?
I can write about anywhere, but I do need music. If I don't have music, especially the songs that my inspiration and motivation comes from, I might lose my steam and get distracted by other stuff. Silence is my enemy.
(I hope that was the right "setup" and not like.. what program you use lmao)
â¨ď¸ Out of the comments youâve received on your fics, what are two or three of your favorites?
Besides allof my friends comments obviously, I love you guys â¨ď¸ Escapism always has the best comments they're either super sweet or hilarious. They got the best vibes fr
some of my favorites are (and i'm just writing them bc i don't wanna add a bunch of screenshots):
"you get everyone's characters down to a T which is honestly hard to find in fanfic. i adore this!"
"damn i did not think about Gar/Jon ship but you are onto something great here"
"you can only stare into each other's eyes, red in the face, so many times before you have to face the facts" < -- context: the end of chapter 7
"Thank you so much for sharing [this fic]; it's such an unparalleled blend of fluff and humor and angst"
"The cheek kiss and then Jordan immediately bullying Jon has me dying. This fic is the highlight of my week easily."
and the one time someone said they usually hate slowburns but Escapism does it so well they actually love it
also this isn't a comment, it's on a bookmark I got today but it made me giggle and kick my feet
It's my job to write Gar, random ao3 user đ
đ What inspires you and your writing?
Wow, umm.. A LOT. Other than the "of course" answer of tv shows, I get most of my fic + scene ideas/inspo from music. Lets say I have a scene idea and it's angsty, then I'm gonna listen to songs with lyrics and sound that fit the vibe i'm going for. While listening to the song(s) on repeat, I let my brain pictures do the rest of work, and if it creates something I like and know I can twist around be bit to fit my storyline as a whole, I choose that
but on the non-music flipside, me and my friend have tossed around ideas before just in texting and a lot of little things in Escapism came from those jokes/chats
đ Is there a fanfic or fanfic writer you recommend?
okay listen.. I was gonna send you this one but thought "that seems like I'm fishing for a compliment" so I decided against it lmao
anywayyyy.. your fics OF COURSE are amazing,, "Acrida" is my favorite but I already told you that hehe I really liked "When I'm Dead And Gone, Will They Sing About Me?" too
and while I'm praising fic authors my bestie in crime, the Jon to my El, @mombosslois and her fic "A Love Without End". It's everything s&l season 2 wishes it could have been. It's just UGH SO GOOD YA KNOW??? I don't wanna spoil it just in case but it makes me feel like
but in the most positive way ever
now a fic that made me wanna throw up and cry at the same time was "So- Your Child Got Addicted to X-K" by underwaterrock. I've never had a fic make me need to step away from my screen and catch my breath before, it was crazy, but I still love it. It's in the top 5 of my favorite s&l fics. "collateral damage" by Zannolin was great too,, I love me some missing scene/episode fics and it's about Jon so instant gold star sticker

ok predictions/reactions to f-h (not negative necessarily?)
firstoff the banner itself
-shame abt the 17 stuff. imo its really fucking clear that the people in charge of f e as a whole hate the game for its more whimsical/shonen/super sentai tone of âfriendship and understandingâ and just want a cringey âangstâ fest (aka angst that just excuses horrible characters) like 16 (and to be fair a lot of other things in the franchise too). but like imo its not the worst. the vas are clearly doing a good job and the artist too, and its cool and cute to see ivy in the game, even if its just a seasonal
-the others i dont rlly care abt. if i liked e ir at all i def dont after she screwed over an entire country and her presumable former friends there just because she found out her birth familyâs world is a place she likes better. like its awful what she went through but imo she still killed a person for no reason when she couldve just told the truth, and even if it would have been painful she should have taken responsibility for her position. but whatever its very eh. and thats all my thoughts pretty much. actually suprised f jorm wasnt the duo but whatevs
-the new story/new oc: i was rooting for all 4 alfr to get resplendent/ect darn it! oh well. it looks like most likely peo and plumie will be the focus (which is good for me bc i love plumie but i wish tri would get good things too ; ; ) and hopefully tri and peo will actually get scenes together acknowledging their relationship as sisters (esp as it was alluded to in last years peo! gosh i hope so pls.) bc b4 screwed them over (esp tri) big time with its fruitless and nonsensical âplot twistsâ
-another thing that im really happy abt is that the temptri stories (except b3 for... reasons) tend to not involve the main cast of the game, which honestly is a breath of fresh air. b2â˛s one was horrendous bc of the dragons and the retcons, but it could have been so much worse. 3â˛s too if im being honest. e irs obsession w the main cast is... very regrettable but also understandable, so it wasnt too much detracting imo. im just hoping they keep this up with b4 and dont fucking involve those horrible and ridiculous âplot twistsâ from book 4. can we please just fucking forget any shitty changeling stories/plotlines in any media ever pls. (except m l p. youre cool you can stay. cough cough unrealistic expectations for this kind of story cough cough)
-that being said plumie + peo is hilarious and sweet. plumie calling her a little petal or something is so funny/cute. and my kasuplumie shipper heart is like âaw plumie took up nicknaming people from kasumi!â like this is character development done right take notes b2 temptri. i think itll be really wholesome if they do end up being the ascendants for this year, seeing them become friends. i would have liked tri but i feel like it also fits as the two of them are the more active of their groups (mira is really passive, and i feel like tri is more distant than aggressive like plumie is). so plumie being super jaded and scornful + peo being really caring with no strings attached and self sacrificing will be really wholesome to see if it comes to pass
-new character: interesting that theyre a rearmed but ok saitama face. people are saying maybe 4/5 next but i feel like it could be 17 (and add less royalty characters- maybe one of the younger siblings, the player character, side characters/enemy only? morion pls im politely asking). i think the best case scenario is theyre the queen from the past, that would be wholesome to have her actually meet kind friends in the alfr. kinda like another character i dont really have anything against her when she was a child- she kidnapped and forced children to work for her just bc they were poor and from a bad home life as an adult, but as a child she was abused by her peers and only treated well by her brother bc he wanted to marry her off to them. like her actually meeting nice people and getting standards would be great but idk if itll happen.
-also just fucking release that dirtbag in the next mythic. just let the memes die. im sick of this guy and ive been sick of him for years. glad hes not much plot relevant.
tldr the good news is i get to save orbs bc i spent them all on not getting shez wooo (sarcasm) (also donny is so pure im so glad hes the free unit!!!! get hype!!!)

So Iâve seen the latest Cinderella movie, and as it is my favorite fairy tale, Iâm gonna say a few things about it:
First off, this is not really a âCinderellaâ movie - Ella isnât the typical kind and forgiving and gentle girl you see, and while thatâs a character choice I didnât like at first, I came around and now I see that she has those traits, sheâs just also funny and awkward and headstrong, and those traits overshadow the traits that make a Cinderella. In most other adaptations of fairytales, this âgirlbossâ characterization doesnât work, but it fits very well in this one.
Thereâs also no real abuse or servitude at the hands of her stepfamily besides half a scene and a couple offhand mentions, and no emotional trauma because of it. If youâre looking for either of these two things that typically characterize Cinderella movies, 2015 Cinderella did it best.
I see a lot of people screaming âgirlboss!â and âfake-wokeâ and âMary Sue!â And yeah, I get that, but it works. I have a couple things to complain about Billy Porterâs character, but as far as the Ella-entrepreneur thing goes, I like it. Again, for the millionth time, this doesnât really explore the typical themes of a Cinderella movie. Itâs not really a fresh take, premise-wise, but it works. Also, this Ella is not a ânot like other girlsâ character - she performs femininity and is still a strong character.
This is a POP JUKEBOX MUSICAL. I did not know that coming into it, so on the first watch I was underwhelmed.
The costumes and props for extras are all over the place period-wise, but you just gotta get used to the chaos and let it be.
The song choices are also all over the place, and you just have to sit back and let it happen. It ends up more or less working.
I loved the original songs; Million to One was very generic, but lovely nonetheless. Dream Girl stole the show for me - Iâll talk more about it later, but it was incredible.
Somebody to Love was either Queen heresy or simultaneously the most flamboyant, hilarious, and sexy thing Iâve ever seen. I canât decide.
Really, this movie has some good points to make, but really itâs just a fun movie thatâs not to be taken too seriously. Again, if you want that kind of Cinderella movie, go watch 2015 Cinderella.
The running sea monster gag was hilarious. Honestly? Most of the jokes hit their mark. This is a funny, feel-good movie.
The image of Pierce Brosnan screaming âGET OFF MY DADâ is now burned in my brain. I love it.
The whole sleazeball Thomas plotline doesnât have enough screentime, so it doesnât have much emotional impact.
Also, why is Ella lying on the bed and being really depressed??? I think in that scene she was supposed to be feeling that way bcs Vivian had just told her the prince was gonna marry that other princess (who is DEFINITELY a lesbian) but that just didnât play out in the scene. Girl you got a hot queen to go meet and a future to chase!!!
QUEEN Tatiana is the hottest one in the movie. I take no criticism.
âYour Highness was the man whose blood I spilled to take this crownâ ICONIC
I will wax poetry about Fra Fee and the definitely totally 100% canon relationship between Fra/Hench and Wibur
Honestly, you can tell that everyone on this movie just had fun. Half the time the background characters, like Robertâs posse, are just straight up vibing, and Camilla and Billy Porter really play off of each other. You can just tell that everyone making this was having a good time. Really living their best lives
I like Gwen a lot. Like, she was played off for laughs, but you connect with her as a character far more than youâd expect, just from the few lines she has in Am I Wrong and whatever other songs sheâs in. I wish we had gotten to have more of her, and more interactions with characters that werenât jokes. I especially wish we could have seen more of her interacting with her brother
I like her line âdonât let them control your lifeâ in Am I Wrong - she says it to her brother, who is waking up to the realization that his life is mapped out by people that want to control him, and he doesnât want any part of it. This is what sheâs lived with for years and years, always being told to sit down and shut up and be a decoration, although she has meaningful contributions. Sheâs telling him to rebel, because thatâs what sheâs been doing; she understands how he feels, and sheâs encouraging him. Gwenâs a chiche character, but those few lines she has in Am I Wrong give her more characterization and meaning than either of the stepsisters.
Honestly⌠Billy Porter was advertised as a ânonbinary fairy godmother,â but really he just plays the Gayâ˘ď¸ character, and Corden refers to him with he/him pronouns (obviously not all nb ppl use they/them pronouns, and many use he/him but I still feel like it was false advertising). Fab G was fun nevertheless, although VERY stereotypical gay with a capital G (I mean his first onscreen word is âWork!â Seriously. Iâm not kidding. Ugh.) and his costume was absolutely GORGEOUS. Honestly all the charactersâ costumes were incredible, and although I wasnât a fan of the stepfamilyâs floral prints, generally all of the costumes were beautiful. Which is fitting for a movie about a dressmaker.
Queen Beatrice was incredible and the dynamic between her and Rowan was just great. Iâve been tired by the âqueen is either always dead or just a silent witness there to be nurturing and motherly, and occasionally a plot device with no characterizationâ trope. So I was so happy to see that Beatrice was an actual character! And can we talk about her rant at Rowan?? âDo you know how hard it is to just sit at your side and smile endlessly, like a decoration? My voice, completely silenced?â Up to that point, sheâs only broken out of the ânurturing and motherly silent witnessâ type that I expected going into the movie with a few lines here and there. But this is where she tells Rowan, and the audience, that she knows what we expected of her, and she knows what she was doing. This is another subtle way the movie uses the stereotypes of a Cinderella movie against the audience.
One line that stood out to me in a very random place was Robert saying âyouâll be dressed by the finest dressmakers!â And Ella saying âI am a dressmaker.â Itâs not the fashion she cares about, itâs getting to do what she loves.
Ok now Iâm gonna talk IN DEPTH about Vivian, the stepmother
Sheâs a harsh, stern woman, but she also manages to be dynamic and stereotype-breakingâ weâve all seen the âvillain has a tragic backstoryâ narrative before, but this pulls it off very well.
I really loved how they changed the Stepmother - like, throughout the movie, you keep waiting for her to do something just⌠needlessly cruel, but she never does. Iâll admit, the scene where she forbids Ella to go to the ball gets pretty close, but that just seems pretty in character for her, plus emotions are running high.
And even in that scene, you can tell that she expected Thomas to choose one of her daughters, not Ella, but she needs the money and security (itâs heavily implied that theyâve fallen on hard times after Ellaâs fatherâs death), so even though itâs a blow to her and her daughtersâ pride, she accepts.
I think thatâs the beauty of it - you think Vivian is a manipulative, scheming monster, because thatâs what you expect of the Evil Stepmother. But you come to realize that Vivian is just a hardhearted woman whoâs been exploited and hurt, and she was being genuine throughout the film. When she told Ella she was sorry she hadnât told her about the betrothal earlier, she meant it. Thatâs not to say sheâs a good person, or that any of these things are excusable; itâs just to say that this film used the stereotypes against the audience.
Not to mention how, when she discovers Ella was the girl at the ball, she begs her on her knees to marry the prince! Sheâs not angry or jealous, she knows Ella will be happier and they will all be infinitely better off! I noticed how she immediately started being more tender with Ella, calling her family and such, subtle manipulation, and although I found it slightly out of character, because she hadnât been *actually* manipulative anywhere else in the movie, I donât think she meant it maliciously or even selfishly.
She admits that she was foolish to think either of her daughters could compete with any of the other princesses, not in a deprecating way towards the stepsisters, but in an âhow could they ever compete with such riches, nobility, beauty, and talent in a world they were not born intoâ way. Also, no one ever makes jokes about Malvoliaâs weight, which is something I appreciate, although I would appreciate not having a fat Ugly Stepsister at all, even if they deliberately cast out the Ugly part.
She doesnât deprecate any of her daughters about things like their talents or looks, only their work/husband-catching skills
Can we talk about how Dream Girl???!?! How harsh and stoic she is in it, and then how close she is to breaking down as she lets everything out on the piano????
âThe treasure you found: bury it. The only way out: marry it.â I like how this film highlights that the only (accessible) way out of poverty, abuse, and bad situations for women is to marry out of them. Of course, Ella proves that there is another way: women can make their own way, but itâs worth noting that Ella couldnât do it on her own, and without her example, other girls probably wouldnât ever be able to either.
âAll that hope, and that pride/Itâs a waste, itâs a lieâ
âYouâre so blind, youâre so green/Youâll give up, just like meâ
âThe wings are ornamental/They have no intention of letting you flyâ
Man those lyrics hit
Anyways I think thatâs it if you read all this way thank you idk how to do cuts or I wouldâve spared you all this
Have a good day/night yâall

It doesn't matter that Adrien is a sentimonster. They're not gonna kill him off or anything like this doesn't mean that he's worth less because he's. one. of. the. main. characters. And also the audience's favourite!! So nah, all this meta abt how if he's a sentimonster then he's non-human is dumb. He's one of the main characters and him being a sentimonster doesn't make him less human or important at all! He's literally The most important character of the show (in a very unbalanced way w marinette btw who has only half a personality, sadly). And no, the fact that the other sentimonsters were treated like nothing doesn't mean Adrien will. Yes this is an inconsistency but also Astruc is a shitty af writer. He's ADRIEN they're not just gonna disappear him lmao. Imo I think people are projecting their own personal issues w their own parents on ML, something I understand but it's also good to take a look back and see the context. Sentimonster Adrien thing is nothing but a shitty metaphor for abuse in a way children can understand bc that's the audience. Sure, the show could be smarter and more serious but it is what it is.
anon, i know you mean well but i'm gonna be a bitch for a second and say that i obviously don't think the meta i reblogged is dumb, and if you think it is, you should go debate that with the writers of these metas instead of commenting on their posts like that in my askbox.
that being said: the issue isn't exactly adrien's future as a sentimonster main character, the issue is what are the implications of this writing choice, how does it fit into the whole narrative (hello, plot holes), and what message are the writers communicating.
you are very right that adrien being a sentimonster is, at the end of the day, irrelevant. implications for his worth aside, of course he isn't going to get killed. in fact, we might even get an arc in which adrien uses the wish to become a Real Boy. which begs the question: why even make him a sentimonster in the first case? for shock value (i guess for the little kids watching)? for the #drama? when it's possibly the least original and interesting thing to do with the agrestes?
what does adrien being a sentimonster add to his character? well, nothing but more angst and more trauma porn that goes unaddressed. i think s4 proved pretty quickly that adrien and the agrestes are nothing but a Mystery Factor to add an illusion of depth to the show, but at its core, the show isn't interested in helping adrien gain autonomy. the show isn't interested in adrien getting better. the show isn't interested in helping him find a way out of his inferiority complex. the show doesn't see him as a full-fledged character with a ton on his plate - he is a prop, he is the genderswapped love interest, he doesn't matter at the level we want him to matter.
that i was projecting really hard became clear to me when kuro neko aired. [thomas astruc to me: you have a very personal understanding of things] [funny because i described gabriel as abusive in my tweet to him] call me dumb, whatever. but the fact that this entire fandom got fooled for years is hilarious. apparently this show was so vague and wishy-washy that we were being sold one message and understanding something completely different.
i am going to end with something i found in my drafts (i think it's pre-kuro neko) but didn't want to post at the time:
overall, we can conclude that what is happening to adrien in s4 is to break him down until his anger explodes and he becomes more assertive, but a good question is if this the right way to portray an abuse victim gaining independence, as it's completely unrealistic (imo) for children at home, and it's a bizarre path to see, given astruc's insistence that the show works with psychiatrists and child psychologists. instead of adrien meeting people who build his self-worth with kindness and understanding, or instead of adrien being put in situations that ask of him to take a risk that pays off and that builds his confidence, adrien is consistently presented as unappealing to the people important to him when he's chat noir, he's repeatedly shut down for not being a little doll the few times he tries to open up as his civilian self, he never got the chance to build a relationship with the man who chose him to wield one of the two most important miraculouses, and he obviously can't be in situations that demand growth of him if he's struggling to get screentime against temp heroes and third-rate characters.
adrien becoming angry to the point when he snaps on his household members (or ladybug) in the end won't make his situation better in any way; even though he's angry at how he's treated, he's still willing to do what others want of him instead of standing up for his needs; and even if he stands up for himself, gabriel suddenly going "oh, you're right, adrien, you can do whatever you want now" would be laughable, ooc and an insult to the previous episodes that portrayed adrien's situation as abusive. adrien's problems can only be solved when gabriel is out of the picture.

Gloria, Jet-lags and Imps [6x11]
Letâs jump right in:
Kinda love how Kara lamp-shaded addressed the fact she didn't tell the gang about her adventures in the PZ. Sheâs not wrong, tho.
...what do I want to say about Mxy using what's basically a well-known gay-anthem to tell his tale?
I mean, it didnât lead anywhere. The original song is about freeing oneself, liberation, stepping out of a (gone bad) relationship and moving on, stronger for it - empowerment. The only connection I could make, is that originally it was Nyxlyâs aim to just do that (freeing herself and her kind from an oppressor), but in the way Mxy performed it, that part of the parallel was long over before he even reached the chorus.
Itâs also a popular Karaoke song, tho, so... he chose it because itâs catchy?
Iâll try not to overthink it for now.
At least, the Superfriendâs reactions were fun.
Nia exiting the elevator, "And what's this Old Stone?"
I love it when ppl enter a room / situation and pick up on words that they couldn't have possibly heard. I think cinema sins ding such...
Are we to assume, she dreamed Mxy's rendition of âI will surviveâ?
Or is the elevator not sound-proof at all?
(If itâs the latter, Nia later apparently telling Brainy âin privateâ between scenes / during the elevator ride about her Nyxly adventures, was a silly thing to do.)
So, "Jared" created the ring Old Stone to rule them all, it got shattered into the Paragons totems? Nyxly needs the totems and to get them she needs a crystal which also belonged to "Jared" - who happens to be Mxy's ancestor, which is why she needs Mxy / his blood, too.
I have one important and incredibly relevant question here, tho...Â
With the introduced imps and their names... Whyâs dude named Jared of all things?!
Really, did I mishear that? If so, Iâll leave it as is and never edit, bc that would be hilarious in its own right đ
...
Not sure what to make about Supergirl paraphrasing a Dirty Dancing quote.
 "Nobody puts Mxy into a power crystal on my watch."Â
...is he Baby now?
(Seriously, though: Which of the writers thought that was a fitting quote to use in that particular context?)
...now, is the exposition section of the episode over yet?
Sensitive Brainy sensed something was up with Nia.
He can relate...
Nia doubting Kara would understand, too, is ridiculous.
But I get it... insecurities and all. But, I mean, just 5 minutes later Kara announces she wants to save Nyxly despite her wrongdoings.
And yet Nia still remains convinced, Kara wouldnât forgive her own personal mini-me... After having witnessed Kara forgiving Lena for a whole season of the writers being stupid messing up to the nth degree. But I digress, Lenaâs Lena.
...how old is Nia meant to be again? Just asking out of completely unrelated curiosity.
F*ck. They really went with NewFoundland...
Imma assume it was an executive choice after realizing they couldnât find enough actors and actresses with a convincing Irish accent... maybe. Again, no offense to Newfoundland! Just... we got the insinuations of Ireland, not Newfoundland... And truthfully, when I think of magic, Ireland is an easy association. Whereas I only due to this whole debacle learned Newfoundland has Irish ancestry. So, okay, the show forced me to learn something new... I give âem that.
An easy journey, she said.
Lena's been off-screen for two whole episodes, Kara announcing at the beginning of âDreamweaverâ [6x09] Lena being âback eastâ (at least insinuating Lenaâs left the west-coast already), which span over at least one full day (feat. a scene at night), and âI still riseâ [6x10] at least another a whole day (the whole Niaâs mom back for a day deal).
And, now, after at least 48 hours she barely just arrived.
Lemme check how long a regular plane would need to fly from California to NFL......... ... .. .. So... approx. 10 hours with at least one layover.Â
Yeah, using a private jet made it easier, but apparently also much, much slower...
Or, Lena randomly went some other places / did some sight-seeing in NFL before she decided to finally visit her motherâs hometown...Â
[Either that or the timelines donât match up and Lenaâs scenes are flashbacks of sorts.]
Optimistic and relaxed Lena is a sight to behold. I rewound 3 times, just to enjoy it for as long as possible. We all knew it was going to be short-lived...Â
Letâs check off a few more items...
OMG, Kara hiding behind Alex at the mere sight of the PZ-projector broke my heart! đ˘
"Elisabeth Walsh" is the new 'the one you shall not name'. ...poor Lena. đ
Oh, so Mxy wants to be Patrick Swayze instead of Baby... gotcha.
...is this going anywhere?
KITTY!!! Okay, this must be the best opponent in the history of CWSG.Â
Despite the horrible CGI, SG using her heat-vision to project a laser-beam to distract the cat had me in (happy-) tears! đ¤Ł
Gotta love the civilians of National City quickly returning to business as usual once the giant cat is gone. Even the police officers looked rather chill...
Nyxly did look fabulous this episode ^^Â
Andrea being Lena's rock is both great and annoying. I can't fault Andrea. It's just, that we still have to see an on-screen interaction between Lena and Kara and that bugs the heck out of me. I canât help it. Iâm sorry, Andrea.
Nia: "...is my fault."
Kara: "Nu, is MY fault!"
J'onn: "Stop fighting, kids!"
Space-dad has spoken.
Mxy used an LuthorCorp copy machine... and of cos it's faulty. It's not an L-Corp product.
Kara forgiving Nia came as a surprise to her...
Oooookay. I mean, the show has been writing Kara a bit inconsistently the past two seasons... so, yeah, maybe being unsure which of her traits apply this week was not such a far stretch...
Maybe it's the hair, but I wished, Florence was played by Alex Kingston.
So, not-Alex-Kingston shows Lena herself with a funny wig and tells her how her mother was still watching her...
If it wasn't for Katie's acting skills (I love her.) I would have already hit my head against the wall repeatedly. Something about these scenes had me constantly cringe and I made it through 5.5 seasons of this show already... Canât quite put my finger on it, but it was highly distracting from the story that explained Lenaâs mom was special even to another witch, where there was domestic abuse, and an accidental murder. Yâknow, important stuff, deep-cutting stuff!Â
At least, poor widddle Lena got some closure there. Elisabeth was a good cookie. And filled with magic. And Lenaâs gotta have that âsparkâ, too...Â
....so... Lenaâs gonna stay in NFL for how much longer, to train becoming a witch?Â
Please, just hand her a how-to manual and send her back home, to figure it out on her own, please... (Yes, that would be horrible decision-making, but I need her back with the team!)
On to the finish line:Â
So... Mxy IS Nyxly's brother? Wait, that doesnât sound right... then Nyxly would have the same blood... Did I miss something? Can someone explain, please? Or is he her ex, and thatâs where his rendition of âI will surviveâ makes sense?
Hnn... I can't help, but think Kara's speech for Nyxly was 85% based on her experiences with Lena in s05.
Awww... he said "stronger together"... Mxy... I hope, you'll be okay!
Lena believes in magic now. And I absolutely love how Lena wants to science magic XD
...but apparently magic isnât science that hasnât been explained yet, but parallel... powers? concepts? ether strings?
Nyxly has a loyal henchman now. Which was a bit heavy-handed. Took way too much of screen-time, so it better leads to something interesting.
And Kara is on a warpath now. Wooooot! Girlâs got enough.
...what else?Â
Did I miss a third Patrick Swayze hint / quote / mention?Â
I learned, these things come in threes... Yâknow, basic writing rules...Â
I guess, for once the episode title was meant to be taken literally, Mxy popping up between characters, to try and help. (I need in-show footage, of Mxy sneaking up on ppl, without his powers, on all fours / crouched, just to get the desired effect.)
I mean, Iâve never really watched Malcom, but wasnât he like what Mxy usually is? A bit of a trouble-maker, prankster, chaos-ensuing wherever he goes?
...well, in that case, the episode title didnât hold up, as Mxyâs scenes were not fun or really goofy. Yes, there was some superficial humor, but just to serve Mxy dealing with not being able to use his powers, which in turn was only barely scratched at (although it turned out to be his final character development crisis, appreciating not having powers and - in turn - facing consequences for once). Again, a whole lot going on in the episode, so a lot of that may have ended up on the cutting-room floor.
...whereâs Kelly? Secretly adopting a kid, maybe?
...Karaâs still a reporter, right? I mean, whenever it serves the immediate plot, yes? ...Not even a throw-away line, that she has to pop up at CatCo for appearances sake? Since Andrea is already upset with her AND looking into her friendsâ identities? At least, Kara should take a peek to make sure Andrea hasnât uncovered anything yet... No?
Well, thatâs all Iâve got for now.
Kue out.

if you read this entire ask post you deserve a gold star and financial recompensation
Um, Obviously because when youâre adopted by a white guy you automatically become white duhhh
this is about this post lmao and yeah youre absolutely right, you have to hand your poc card in when you get adopted by a white guy.
Do you think Cass would listen to Yanni, the YouTube channel epic symphonic rock, or some other stuff? There's some cool mashups but idk if that's up your alley, I kinda feel like I'm pushing it with my weird taste of music by recommending an orchestra cover of metal, but i just love that sort of thing and mashups :P @harvestyourcherriesÂ
i havenât heard of that? but in my personal (correct) opinion steph listens to classical music, and then both modern and older, and then also stuff like black sabbath, iron maiden, but also hardrock and hardcore. i like the idea of cass just liking the most extreme screaming songs full of noise and then also listen to pachelbelâs 370th sonata yanno? THANK YOU for the rec tho
speaking of ur cass playlist hc...reminds of the time (yesterday) i found 2 playlists randomly on spotify from the same user. one was abt 3 hours of instrumental/classical "dark" & "nostalgic" music. the other almost 11 hours of nothing but hardcore bass/synth/electronic music. just an incredible tightrope act to put on in public. the synth one was also called like "psalms for synth sluts" which is Also incredible
tbh i LOVE synth SO MUCH like for no reason at all but then also cannot handle a poppy electronic beat lmao. but this seems like the kinda thing iâd do but just in one (1) playlist bc i just sort songs by vibe instead of genre? thatâs how i end up with britney spears and billy ray cyrus in the same playlist.Â
Oh, I want Kate Kane playlist next! It would be amazing if you could do one when you have time and will đ
how rude would it be of me to just say no? like sorry kate but idk you and also you seem way too keen on the us military for an institution that homophobically targeted you? (and also commits war crimes) but letâs unpack the fact that the institution that caused the death of your mom and sister and also got you blacklisted for being gay is still one you align with???
'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' --- when i tell you i fucking screamed LOL!!!!!!! i can imagine the cameraman not knowing if he should cut to commercial or keep it on these two weirdos fighting on stage (bruce definitely ruffled dick's hair/noogied him right??Â
about this post but yeah lmao. this cameraman just turns to like the audience to get a reaction and itâs just multiple moments of CLEAR shock.
you are the only funny person on this hellsite
how egotistical is it for me to say that i get this ask multiple times a month? bc it literally happens so often itâs hilarious to me.
Wish there was more john/Bruce content đđđ was so hungry I actually looked at canon media đđđ (Justice League Dark babeeeyyyyyy)
check out batman: damned for some mediocre content but at least itâs john/bruce (also very interesting story and stuff, just got very >:( over this weird part where harley quinn tried to r*pe bruce or something? itâs not for everyone)
dick grayson but he's nicki minaj
his anaconda donât want none,,, unless......Â
Dick Grayson was never a cop, he played Marshall on Paw Patrol
you are SO right. also paw patrol is a fucking good show idc. that shit couldâve been the new steven universe on this hellsite.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CS1lI0bLI7-/?utm_medium=copy_link
...
why do people keep reposting my CONTENT. if you are not funny yourself donât just grab shit off of tumblr and post it on insta,,, get a life. sidenote: should i start an insta and get all these ppl to take my content down that would be funny as hell.
Might I suggest for a Gotham City Meme: something about the true crime fandom thirsting for the rogues gallery
ok can i just say something slightly controversial?? no? i donât find true crime ppl who are into criminals funny, that shits disturbing irl im not gonna bring that into my very chill universe.
i may have never seen a 'jason cleaning guns in sink' fic but i do know he WOULD
THANK YOU
bestie im sorry to say this to you but while you can, and people do wash their guns in the sink, that is a lot of lead in a very vital part of the kitchen.
people tend to do it in the bathtub.
WHY???? like damn why do you even have guns
i dont think i read many gun sink fics exactly but i have read lots of fics where jason cleanes his guns in the living room. usualy dissembles them and cleans them with a rag i think
lmao fair enough, like i think thatâs a large part of what i remember as well.
if you say you've seen/read gun sink fics I believe you. I think those of us who didn't see them are lucky or maybe didn't search for fics by tags or something idk
i mean ive never sought them out but i HAVE seen them,, like definitely i know almost for certain.
saw your tags and I'm interested in Steph/Kara now. They would be the most chaotic couple <3
literally thoooo, i have a wip where they get together in a zombie apocalypse and like UGGGHhhh i am so in love with them.
I am the Breece anon. Thanks for the recommendation; am reading now. Iâve always been a hardcore Superman fan because I love my pure himbo farm boy. My logic is, if one Bruce is a Broose, then multiple Broose are a herd of Breece. And this is a hill upon which I will perish.
fair enough,,,, like moose, meese, goose, geese, bruce, breece. i get your logic and i stand by it as well. (glad you enjoyed the comic recs!!!!)
It's a beautiful day in Gotham, and you are a group of horrible Breece
OH my god dude lmao
there only being 42 fics on ao3 for tim and bernard is honestly so sad i need more
itâs like twice that now!!! we did it lads. (tho very sad that my fic isnt number one but like number 4 :((((Â )
i'm too late you already did the poll lol but may i suggest bethy (bernard + timothy)
shit dude that wouldve been so fucking funnyyyyy. think ppl have just stuck to timber tho, tim/bernard kinda died down recently and i think itâs too bad, theyâre a great couple and i love them.
Wait, hear me out
Bernothy @redlightofdawn
great recommendation (lmao this ask is from like a month ago) but very sorry to announce that NARDTH is the superior shipname
Wait, we know that bernard likes milfs (Tim's step-mom) but what about dilfs? gilfs?
Wait no, I regret sending that ask
these were two seperate asks and theyâre HILARIOUS. in my personal opinion tho,,, milfs, gilfs, dilfs are just about vibes and bernard is just attracted to sexy ppl who may sometimes be milfs, dilfs, or EVEN gilfs.
crime in bludhaven would drop to half if nightwing had a boob window. in this essay i will-
WHEREâS THE ESSAY ANON, WHEREâS THE FUCKING ESSAY
Wait if Barbra and Tim r at opposite ends at all times what happened to Barbra once everyoneâs Timâs ever love before started dying lol
she won a lottery ticket and spent 2 weeks on a resort in the bahamas before returning home and finding out that the joker was arrested for tax evasion and then spent a month staying at her big tiddie goth girlfriendâs house before conner came back to life and she broke her pinkie playing table hockey.
Why is the opposite end thing so funny and compelling to me. Tim comes back from his depression quest for Bruce and Babs is now a literal god
lmao when tim loses his spleen barbara reaches nirvana.
Are you still taking music recs because I have three songs that remind me of Jason that I think you'd like
send to me or lose a toe
đ¸ â put this star into the inbox of your favorite blogs. itâs time to spread positivity! âđ¸đ
thanks, i wont tho on account of i wont.

âŹď¸
This is the whole of BlĂźdhaven and everyone anywhere.
Nightwings ass alone saves more people in a calendar year and does more for so society than most heroes do their whole career.Also u are one of the funniest tumblr pages out there. The vibes are unmatched and the memes and tags â¨send meâ¨.Thank u and goodnight @julia-flowÂ
fanksss also lmao.
That's going to be a little bit difficult to explain, but
There's some music that you listen to and you think, "oh my gosh, I can perfectly imagine Dick Grayson singing this song, with the same voice as the singer because that voice matches with Dick Grayson"?
oh yeah totally lmao. i have a lot of songs that i think are just entirely dick grayson yanno? kind of all of my playlists have that vibe, but i really find bleachers to fit with dick? idk.
"Lois lane/Superman" fics this, "Lois lane/Clark Kent" fics that, (/lh) let's get into the real good stuff. Some people ship Lois, Clark, and Superman as a throuple. Most popular fic tag for sure
yes totally, i think theyâd be absolutely killer on ao3 and clark gets so fucking embarassed about it.
I miss your post, hope youâre doing okay!!
haha this was like 2 months ago, but i was doing fine then too! just didnât have a lot of inspiration in terms of content.
Doot doot!
noot noot
Iâm confused. What did DC do now? Like with nightwing? And another sibling? Please spoil everything for me
lmao they gave him a secret sister plotline where they had his dad cheat on his mom with tony zuccoâs wife, bc dickâs life wasnât traumatic enough yet.
sorry but it's so funny that batman is called "the dark knight" when the gotham city baseball team is called the gotham knights. it'd be like if a vigilante was running around new york called like "the scary yankee"
lmaooo no. but like yankee comes from dutch names or something so wouldnt it be HILARIOUS if gotham knights came from like german names and bruce would be running around called the dark KLAUS UND NIEK @graysonnightwingÂ
(not a batcest shipper) itâs so funny to me that the responses are âiâm a batcest shipper because i can differentiate fiction from reality and and it doesnât bother me personally, but i understand why you oils think itâs weirdâ to âi wish all batcest shippers a very fucking dieâ
yeah lmaoo. i personally basically flipped my entire stance around to âi dont care please leave me and everybody else aloneâ bc i think thereâs really no point in starting a moral dillema over some fucking fandom bullshit. Please just,,, go home,,, log off, find a nice forest to have a little walk in and remember that somewhere in history, somebody probably died in the place youâre standing. and you will also die someday, and somebody will have to look at your internet usage and see you fighting multiple people anonymously while being named ânightwingsbuttchin200186Ⲡlike... calm down, weâre all gonna die this is not the thing to worry about.
so since like "wards" don't really exist in modern society almost all the batkids are foster kids, right? i used to work in the system and imagine: monthly visits from social workers and guardian ad litems, bruce having to get permission to take the boys anywhere out of state, calling their social worker at like 8 a.m. like "yeah dick broke his arm again... a gymnastics accident this time...." their poor social worker. bruce send her a huge bouquet and box of chocolates every month to stay on her good side
i imagine the social worker just getting into the case like âyeah letâs get this kid a good guardianâ and then ending up having to work with 22 y/o bruce wayne and his 50 y/o dad. and so this social worker is like âokay we can work with this, this is the best home i can findâ and then like it ends up landing on its feet and then the kid gets adopted and then they get a call a year later like âuhm so hi, this kid tried to steal my tyres can i adopt him?â and like 3 years later. âokay so basically, my neighboursâ kid imprinted on me and now theyâre dead, can i keep him?â two years later itâs like âokay so this assassin child-â
ever since I saw that one post of yours, the meme that's something like "I know that abba's backup dancer got me" with a picture of discowing, I've been haunted. Every once in a while I'll be minding my own business then the image of abba's backup dancer dick grayson aka nightwing aka discowing will flash in my mind and I'll be frozen in place. Today at work I was in the middle of folding clothes and suddenly once again discowing entered my mind and I suddenly lost the ability to see anything except He. Thank you.
wow. the IMPACT.
Braver than any US marine man props to youđ¤
this shit is about the time i wrote an article on batcest, like man,,, the fact that i didnât get cancelled is MIRACULOUS. also like,,, uh if anybody on here did gossip on me,, send screenshots iâd love to see it.
Hello, just wanted to say your article was great. Thank you for taking the time to provide an unbaised answer. It should provide people with nuances they couldn't possibly conjure on their own.
May I ask where your username originates from?
yes you may (also thanks!!!) i thought it up when i was trying to find an original username bc i didnt want to be called like âtimdrakes something somethingâ or âjason todd something smoethingâ or âdick grayson something somethingâ yanno? so i thought batarangs, they sound so dumb and thatâs my username story... now itâs my whole entire brand lmao.
yno that bit in kick ass where red mist asks kick ass if he wants a hit of his blunt, was that the inspo for stoner tim
no? itâs bc i think stoners are hilarious and drugs are great. (dont do drugs tho)Â
How would u feel if someone actually wore one of those bruce or ollie pride shirts u edited
fenomenal next question.
Dick as lil huddy and Jason as James gave me radiation poisoning and now Iâm screaming crying throwing up so thx for that
(Rico suave as Tim is perfect tho literally no changes needed)
i was so funny for that shit wasnât i??? lmao i loved those weird ass fancasts
You're doing the Lord's work by providing us with all these Gotham/Metropolis citizens memes, thank you for being so relentlessly funny @nellethiel-aranel
youâre welcome!! i really enjoy making memes, but getting validation for my content and my memes is REALLY nice.
Bruce is such a slut in your memes and honestly i love that for him @rhodey-rhudert-rhodes-mainÂ
heâs that much of a slut irl too dw.
Bruce and Alfred have an emergency pride flag for the batkids. Oliver Queen printed an emergency "I love my gay son" t-shirt and as soon as Roy told him he was dating Jason, Oliver started wearing that shirt everyday and Roy always cringes when he sees it. Oliver also has an emergency "I love my lesbian daughter" shirt just in case for Cissie.
lmao YES i had a post like this bc like all of their kids/family members are so gayy
stop bringing back batfam fancasts it is not real it is not real it is not- đđđđđđđđđđđđđ
oh yes it is my darling.
did discowing burn down the notredam because he hates the bees? @allulily
no he did it bc fuck the french.
im gonna beg for 1 thing and 1 thing only. please please please put physical by olivia newton john on dick's playlist
okay then beg. bc i wont. physical reminds me too much of glee and that hurts me mentally.
your playlist is sorely missing some Madonna. Specifically Into the Groove, Like a Prayer, and Vogue
iâm scared of madonna thatâs why sheâs not on there. she haunts me in my dreams.
suggestion: son of batman by aaron dews for dickâs playlistđ¤Š
sorry, i listened to it and the vibe didnât agree with me.
Hear me out, metropolis citizens sending rare pair fics of Clark Kent x Superman fics to Lois to edit
yes, absolutely hilarious. even more funny if they send like physical copies, no address attached and lois sends it back marked with red ink, SOMEHOW
Imagine all the smut Clark must of read editing the fics
clark reads smut confirmeeed
NOT LOIS READING SUPERBAT PORN AND EDITING IT A 2AMÂ
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hc that alfred is a meta that boosts healing factor of the people around him. if the bats are injured as much as they seem to be they would be doing bat stuff MAYBE half the year. no one including alfred knows about this. whenever the kids move out they inexplicably dont recover from injuries as fast and feel better whenever they visit the manor they just chalk it up to homesickness. bruce just thinks he heals really fast. alfred thinks everyone doesnt take care of themselves properly @finchcollector
thatâs actually such a great idea, but i think that alfred would find out and learn how to concentrate it better so he can help more people, bc heâs great and i love him.
One of your dickfast posts reminded me of that tweet that goes: 'so you've had sex how many times? Yeah technically that's not a bromance' lol that's dickwally or dickroy
literally tho. like thatâs all of dickâs friendships. once it gets past a certain time dick is like âwow i wonder what it would be like to make out with wally, wally come make out with meâ and wallyâs like âweâve done this like 40 times, dick, you know what itâs likeâ and dick is like âsorry are you complaining?â and they just make out.
superfam and batfam associations??
-batman and superman
-dick/barabara and supergirl?
-conner and tim
-jon and damian
pls enlighten me I am confused
nope,,, uhm batman and superman, but dick and superman as well, and then conner and tim, jon and damian and steph + babs with supergirl
I came across a fic in which Wonder Woman calls Batman "Stella" (like Stellaluna, the children's book) and I can imagine the batkids hop on the trend and maybe copies of the book appear at random places (aka, everywhere Bruce frequents)
sorry canât reciprocate that was the name of my high school chemistry teacher and it gives me nightmares to think about.
good human what are your pronouns?
wouldnât you like to know?
I need me some gothamites preferring harley over joker memes
everyone prefers harley over joker youre just very fucked up if you dont
don't understand why people try to add like veteran policy to the batfamily
dick pulling out his veteran batfam member card so he can eat first: step aside, peasants
Do you know the song Simmer by Haley Williams? It (the first verse anyways) reminds me of Jason? It's about rage.
damn yeah i LOVE HAYLEY!!!! youre right thoo
Okay so I like listen to your stoner Tim Drake playlist 24/7 but would he listen to skegss? Also I keep adding songs mentally itâs killing me đŠâđź Anyways,, I literally love and worship your playlist đđ¤đź And uh yeah have a good day â¨
stoner tim drake playlist is lyfeeee. also dont know who skeggs is? iâm stupid? have a good day!!
All the Robins (and Batgirl) decide to trade costumes for one night just to fuck with Batman and all the villains in Gotham. @subspacecadetÂ
batman knows itâs them youknow but like,,, what does he call them? heâs like âred hood?â and 3 people answer and heâs not about to compromise some identities so heâs just Pissed.
I aspire to treat cops the way my dad treats them. This man is a 45 year old Asian immigrant to the US and the treats them like his pets. He talks about them like unruly children. Sometimes he pays off local cops to shut up and stop acting racist. And usually it works. I donât know why but I can see Oliver Queen doing this
vibes... and also yes? oliver queen handing a local cop a donut to shut the fuck up lmao. but yanno i commit enough crimes to not really want to ever see a cop ever, so they kinda scare the everloving fuck out of me.
seeing as tim hasn't aged in years, that means he was 17 at peak emo tumblr era. im back on my emo tim bullshit and im not letting it go
emo tim had a wattpad account send tweet
People seem to think that batman is so dark and serious when the rainbow batsuit is right there. He wore it with no shame.
dude the 60s were a DIFFERENT TIME
dick grew up in a circus, jason grew up on the streets, and tim was probably raised by the internet
all of them cuss every other word and you cannot tell me otherwise
bitch i KNOW but dc has to change to an 18+ rating if they want to sell comix with swear words in them so we gotta deal with imagining the swear words in ourselves
thoughts on teen titans and young justice
havenât seen teen titans on account of havent seen it and young justice was LITERALLY my favourite thing ever, tho i do gotta admit itâs not at all similar to the young justice comics unfortunately. i really wouldve liked to see timmy bart kon cassie and cissie animated on tv!!
ew ew ew how to delete batcest shippers I genuinely digust them
log off tumblr?
Okay as poc who was called racist for calling an Italian pastabrain: in the batfam are Italians bit Damian just yells various insults about the others being Italian. Just him yelling âWhat are you doing you moronic spaghettihead!â At steph etc
huh? i meant real italians. homeboy is telling steph he hopes she chokes on her fucking garlic.
I think it's dumb as hell to pull the batman is the best fighter in the batfam argument because like it's just irresponsible of Bruce to let his kids fight when they couldn't possibly be on his league or something
fair enough, but also like who cares they could all kill you just sit down and take a beating.
lady shiva, thalia al ghul and Selina Kyle are all milfs @notanothertimburtonenthusiastughÂ
unfortunately, i have to admit,,, youâre right
why tf didn't someone give joker a death sentence already? like he's a mass murderer...give him the electric chair treatment wtf
idk i think plenty of people would have tried to murder him already (boring answer is: he is a popular character so they canât kill him off bc he brings in lots of money)
Thereâs no such thing as â copagandaâ.
all american media is propaganda. happy to clear this up for you
is it bad that I find lady shiva owa owa
no. find her as owa owa as you want.
aight I'm guessing the order of your favs in batfam:
1. tim
2. Steph
3. dick
4. Duke
5. the rest
youâre wrong but itâs cute that you tried, i generally donât have favourites, but i have a special place in my heart for steph, tim, dick and cass. bc they were like my introduction to batfam. but damian, jason, duke, bruce, babs and alfred are NOT FORGOTTEN OR UNLOVED
oh my god i was literally just readily willing to believe that italians werent white ty for clarifying it was a joke im so dumb sdkvjskdfs
i mean some italians arenât white? italian is a nationality as well as an ethnicity, so like ¯\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
since I saw so many people doing headcanons about the nationalities of batboys, I see Dick as an Italian.
dont know if youre serious or not, but sure.
super random but
jason đ¤ damian
old english
lmao fair enough.
tim absolutely has 1 gay uncle and his parents shit talk said uncle all the time so after bruce adopts him he specifically reaches out to this uncle to be like "heyyyy just so you know you majorly influenced my life yes i know i havent seen you since i was 5 and at the family reunion yes i know you dont remember my name idc thank you im gay too" and then they never talk again.
yuppp lmao thatâs definitely something that could happen. i can also consider tim having no family members, like none. until he does like a dna test and he realises he has like an aunt living barely 2 miles away from him whoâs like some illegitimate child of his grandpa.
I dare you one of them sends clark superman/clark fic and clark corrects the shit out of it and then goes like ps his dick is not that big, just telling as someone who has seen it. internet either explodes or goes who tf did he not fuck at this point.
i think everybody would call clark a buzzkill and try to cancel him over that.
so you're telling me Tim Drake wouldn't buy Starbucks?
no. dunkin donuts all the way
One of my favorite things is imagining people finding out jason came back from the dead and being like "oh no does he have magic powers now?!?!?" and he just pulls out a gun and tries to shoot joker
now he doesnât even have the gun :) lmao
my favorite batfamily fanfictions are the ones where they use their shitty codenames, unironically, in any context
bruce gets codename âughâ everytime. he hates it.
crazy that tim being a 17 y/o ceo and a stoner who does brand deals are all actual canon things written in detective comics comics and not made up for shits and giggles by you, tumblr user batarangsoundsdumb @rowdeyclown
SO CRAZY HUH?
batman au where everything is the same but his utility belt is bright pink
absolutely, but i raise you, his boots light up like sketchers when he kicks people.
unbeknownst to the superhero fandom writers in the dcuniverse, clark and BRUCE are one of the most prolific fanfic writers in the superhero rpf tag on ao3. clark writes the best lois x superman angst, full of unhappy endings and scenes that are a so detailed you'd think you were in the middle of a superhero beatdown. bruce made an ao3 account to fuel "the do the butts match" thing, and makes batman/bruce fics from time to time. he wrote a superbat fic as a joke but ended up making it REAL porny. @concrastinator
dude theyâre WAY too busy for that. Oliver Queen and Hal Jordan on the other hand are the most prolific fanfic writers in the superhero rpf tag writing what is Mostly porn.
When the dining table topic gets to politics, Steph says "eat the rich" as the solution
bruce just silently takes away her fork and knife while sheâs talking.

bunch of little things from the comics that i like to compare with the mcu to figure out what i would like to see going forward:
it's kind of a bare minimum petition in a way. i'd call this a comparative essay but it's too messy to be an essay so, let's just start LOL... im not actually that well versed in comics im more like "oh yeah i dig this" and run w what i like
first off sam in the mcu i actually really love what they've done with him. might be because i can't help but love sam since he's so damn charming. i guess one glaring difference between comics sam and movies sam is the way they carry themselvesâcompared to mcu sam, comics sam has been doing this for decades. he is rougher around the edges while having his big heart anyway, which is a really nice contrast and makes sense given how long he's been working as falcon lol. so what are the differences that can be found/how did the mcu adapt some of sam's comic traits?
he's a social worker and a community organizer! he also runs a veteran support group, not that different from sam being a counselor in the mcu. in tfatws it's shown that sam helps sarah whenever he's around in delacroix, in turn helping out the whole communityâshowing that they're (the wilsons) are very loved by all the members in their community, and this is a very important thing! a connection to a community! a purpose for a character to want to fight for others, to have something they love and protect and make it believable at the same time. it's lovely.
sam's heart being too big and moving people / seeing the best in others carries on super well in the mcu. everyone's familiar with sam giving shelter to stevenat in tws, sam never wanting to fight karli, sam being kind to john, etc. it's a lovely detail and one of my fave things about him so that's also super satisfying :)
so now in terms of sam wilson as a character what would i like to see more? it already started during tfatws when he confronted all those politicians on live tv but cap sam makes the point of not remaining quiet and speaking up, something that usually costs him public approval but he remains strong and tall about what he believes in. not being afraid to take a political stance despite people wanting him to stay neutral.
sam's struggles on wanting to do what's right by him and at the same time having some struggles according to how he's perceived by the public because it's always going to be an important conversation to have and again, this character is not one to shy again from stances like these. when tfatws was coming out lots of people were uncomfortable by how âpoliticalâ and by the race conversations that took place in the series. i don't think they'd shy away from it anyway but still something i truly wish to see how they handle. esp with a not-white team working on it heh
more moments of sam being truly sure of who he is and killing it bc i love him
sam's connection to his family and how they influence him to be who he is, and sam's own little family composed of joaquĂn and shaun and redwing (currently just joaquĂn and redwing in the mcu) to have his own support system besides the guys we already know
just. sam :)
moving onto bucky, mcu bucky is... kind of starting to be his own character at last? like i remember watching tfatws ep 1 and going OMG HE HAS A PERSONALITY so it was a big deal. so it's a bit of a clean slate, right? so here are the things i wish the mcu would implement for bucky but i highly doubt they will but i love to dream anyway:
ideally seeing where the character is right now they could, yes, take an approach to winter soldier 2018 since it fits bucky's current character arc of learning to forgive himself and try to do good.
really want the mcu to stop pushing the white wolf narrative and trying to erase the winter soldier from bucky, seeing as how ed brubaker is responsible for bringing bucky back as the winter soldier and how he feels re:mcu bucky, i feel like the least they could do is let him still keep the winter soldier, just. reclaim the name like in the 2018 run, etc
bucky is a loving character. he just loves so damn much. if comics sam is sharp around the edges but soft inside, bucky is soft around the edges but firm inside. he's not afraid to call sam and nat his best friends when they're captured specifically to lure bucky out
he feels so much for people, he acknowledges the burden and the pain he carries to do better and take back his mistakes, and tries to take care of everybody without ever putting himself first, and endures So much.. talk about being a meow meow
super good with kids somehow?
please mcu give him friends who love him that's all i actually ask from you. bucky is loyal to a nauseating degree. even when sam and nat get captured it was literally illegal for him to break them out but what did he do? break the law, of course,
he's hilarious. for real trust me he's hilarious. like there's something wrong with him (affectionate)
so to sum it up: just dont be afraid to make him kind and loving bc thats where bucky shines most. as for the sambucky dynamic in general i just want them to still be themselves. just like this :)

danny phantom episode 4-7 Thoughts: (under a readmore because, these got kinda long!)
-the outfit danny had to buy for dash's party. CLASSIC 2000S i cannot stop laughing. And also showing up to the party and everyone is dressed like the trio is hilarious. and further proof that everyone looks good dressed goth.
-dash has a closet full of cute lil bear plushies?? LOVE that. adorable. also his response to danny trashing his room fighting a ghost was SO valid if somone BROKE MY BED IN HALF ID BE PISSED TOO.
-technus being like 'oh smart, u should be a tutor!' then later being like 'forget tutor, be a teacher!' :) supportive king <3 I also really like his upgraded suit/design. AND SPOCK CAMEO??? HELLO??
-the music in this show is super. its so funky. I looked it up and the guy who does it, guy moon (awesome name) also did music for other cartoons like fairly odd parents, barnyard, chalkzone, billy & mandy, AND some actual movies like FIGHT CLUB??? the whiplash I got from reading that)
-sam being rich explains a lot about her, actually.
-I know the moral of the episode was supposed to be 'dont ditch your friends for popular people/spend a lot of money on clothes that arent You to Fit In'. but tbh. it wouldve been easy for danny to have been like 'well, okay, ill come but only if my friends can!' but I get. that hes 14. so. not a lot to say there.
-BOX GHOST IS BACK!!!!! also, danny sitting up and wearing the dress/wig/makeup. umm thats how I dress everyday LMFAO. unironically me. (hate the jokes that boil down to 'haha funney man in dress' tho. but this is a look)
-jazz being protective of her brother once again being like NOOO YOU GUYS BETTER NOT STAKE OUT HIS (actually haunted) LOCKER!! shes aware of how people perceive him and she wants to help :( which is also probably why she told dash to invite him to that party even tho she had no interest in going!! she wants to help him out :(
-gotta say im with tucker on the whole 'should danny use his powers to get back at bullies' debate. 100% yes. let him teach kids to fight back. making dash throw his food at paulina out of the blue? no. but when hes actually about to pick on someone? yeah! for self defense? YEAH! if dash and his friends just threw food at him, I think rather than. idk doing sneaky shit with frogs he couldve just threw it back and not pulled punches if they tried to fight. I kNOOWWW its a kids show so they are like 'if u fight back ur just as bad!! violence bad!!' but. theyre HIS POWERS. WHO CARES.
-like my only gripe is that dash really isnt LEARNING ANYTHING WHEN DANNY GETS BACK AT HIM IN THE MOST PETTY INDIRECT WAYS. whatever they had to add a bully psa episode I guess. I hate it and I hate the way cartoons usually handle it because these methods simply Do Not Work. 'aND YouRE USinG YOur poWErs FOR EVill???!' this is Not Evil. even when poindexter takes dannys body, theyre only being 'nice' bc hes stealing soda for them!! bitches deserve what they get (nothing too brutal bc theyre high schoolers but damn, if they pick on danny he doesnt need to be the 'bigger person' he needs to start biting people)
-SAM TRYING TO SMUGGLE FROGS OUT OF THE BIO LAB?? girl in middle school when we had to dissect frogs we could opt out, also, they came to us already dead and preserved...
-sidney's lingo and the fact hes in black and white is sending me. also, danny is a ghost celebrity apparently for being a halfa?? ok. thats interesting to know
-the DENTIST BEING EXCITED ABOUT THE COTTON CANDY FLOOD IS THE FUNNIEST THING SO FAR.
-I LOOOVE the trope of 'wishes gone wrong'. not crazy about the stereotypical genie, or the use of the dreamcatcher looking design. (also, I KNOW theyre scientists but the way theyre handling a cold...are the fentons ANTIVAX)
-the genie. she. whitewished paulina. JKASDFHKJ. (the ghost literally just being hello kitty???? im dying) 'why do i feel that im special and wonderful? because I AM! <3' paulina ilu self worth queen. felt bad for her also getting possessed by (2) boys later who were arguing INSIDE HER. WTF.
-imagine being the guy trapped in his now flying car. he thought danny and tucker were HALUCINATIONS. imagine being trapped in a flying car with two, what you think are imaginary arguing 14 year olds convinced ur gonna die. i WOULD say this dude is gonna need so much therapy, but he seemed totally fine and excited when they landed (I would be happy too if a chicken was on my head. chickens rule) stoner rights
-sam's bat slippers??? iconic. SO cute.
-I think desiree's backstory is so :( do all ghosts have messed up sad backstories?? poindexter's was sad too...cannot imagine box ghost has any kind of fucked up backstory. but what if. his mom got pushed off cliffs by boxes...........a la cruella... anyway her 'no man may lay a hand on me' iconic. ilu
-I know danny has no concept of how much bras cost but my god dont attack tucker with some girls bra. those are so expensive.
-its really. well its not a GOOD THING he went into the portal and got fucked up, but its good danny was the one to do it rather than sam or tucker. because even tho he was being influenced by desiree and kept getting more malicious and it prob wasnt 100% him...he sucked as a ghost like most the people he 'pranked' were innocent ppl just Chillin and he didnt want to help anyone at all. I think danny is the most responsible out of them but also, hes 14 and shouldnt HAVE to feel obligated to fight every ghost. hes a good kid and wants to, but I also feel like he feels like...responsible for the portal turning on?? because his parents did give it up,, but it was an accident and not his fault (if anything, why was the on switch on the inside. why was it that easy. why was there no safety measures. that seems like smth OSHA needs to hear about). like thats my son. hes a good boy. and hes never done anything wrong in his life, ever. if anyone hurts him im killing everyone in this room and then myself. etc.
-danny's curfew is 10PM????? DUDE. when I was 14...shit I couldn't be out that late, I had to be back at like, 8 at the latest, and my parents had to know exactly where and who I was going with, AND i had to call/text them regularly...is this a case of my parents being overbearing, or the fentons sucking??? the only time i could EVER be out that late was if I was at an overnight sleepover or smth...
-the vultures have lil fezes. why do they have fezes...theyre so fuckin funny 'ask him for directions' 'I KNOW WHERE IM GOING' these ghost vultures are my new grandpas. pick them up, put them in the adopt box.
-'I wonder why those guys were trying to waste dad!' THEYRE GHOSTS. YOUR DAD HUNTS GHOSTS. why is that not a conclusion you'd immediately jump to??
-*jazz voice, clearly disgusted* WISCONSIN???
-mrs fenton with the lab coat and leg warmers and PERM. YESSS STYLISH.
-was going to say 'ew billionaire' @vlad but. super valid he used his powers to assumedly steal and cheat to get that money, thats how all billionaires do it! but ew hes a SIMP. and spending your billions on FOOTBALL STUFF?? you are Not Valid overall. I DO respect the fact you have a castle instead of a mansion. in wisconsin. if youre going to be stupidly rich might as well go all out, torches on the wall and all. I DO like his ghost form's little kitty ears. catman. and his cape! every design can benefit from a cape. and how different his forms look, like danny looks the EXACT SAME IN BOTH FORMS ASIDE FROM COLOR CHANGES. vlad's is like,, I could believe they were different people!! also I love the drama. but dude you are fighting a 14 year old. lame. also he was like, telling danny he wanted his mom and him and like, wanted him to renounce his dad?? WHAT ABOUT JAZZ?? bitch. those r MY kids and they are both important and special. I do agree they need better parents but thats not u sir <3
-I thought vlad's 'little badger' nickname for danny came from the football mascot of the packers, but google says they have NO MASCOT?? so now I'm like?? is it because his hair is sometimes black and sometimes white?? I hate to give him props but thats a PERFECT NICKNAME. theyre also tiny and vicious!
-why did I get so excited that Skulker is back!! its been like. 2-3 eps LMAO. AND THE DAIRY KING. ICONIC I LOVE HIM. hes the nicest guy ever :) more nice ghosts please. danny cannot be fighting alone everytime with no ghost buds like every ghost being hostile sucks :(
-mr. fenton knew vlad was controlling him, but a few episodes ago he had no clue danny was doing the same thing...is it something about how malicious the ghost is?? he just seemed to think his memory had gaps the first time, this time he was INSTANTLY LIKE 'GHOST'. then again in this ep when danny did it again he was just slightly confused but not immediately freaking out like he did with vlad possessing him!!
-'my parents will accept ME NO MATTER WHAT' so. so why haven't you come out to them yet, danny?? if you really think that?? if theres no harm, and you're sure??? if vlad is a real problem, wouldnt that make dealing with him easier, to expose him???? SO WHY HAVENT YOU COME OUT YET?? COULD IT BE,, MAYBE YOU HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT WHETHER YOUR PARENTS ACTUALLY WILL ACCEPT YOU??? đ¤ ... đłâđ I get why people say He Is Trans. I totally totally get u danny.
-sorta unrelated, but it just occurred to me in one of these eps they go to casper HIGH not casper middle school??? theyre 14?? dont highschools usually do ages 15-18? (I didnt go to hs so I might be wrong, if I am ignore this...) freshmen are usually 14-15, could just be a case of them not turning 15 yet but they will sometime in the school year (I say they because tucker said he was 14 too)? I know the show has 3 seasons, so by the end of it will they be older? thatd be neat but usually cartoon characters stay the same age...I love shows where you can see the characters age and grow up, though...three seasons seems like a long time to spend on like, 1 year...

the poets and their fav marvel characters/movies !!!
ok honestly i have no idea if any of this makes sense lol but i hope itâs comprehendible. also i have not had the time or resources to watch any of the new mcu era, which is why i didnât include any of it. and if you have any other ideas of which characters and movies the poets would like comment them bc i want to see what you guys think hehe !! <3 sending love and hugs to anyone who needs it (and anyone who doesnât, too)
neil: neil adores comic books. he used to sneak them when he was younger, taking breaks from his summer school homework to read them (he has a stash in his room that his father still hasnât found). there is no doubt in my mind that neil wouldnât be head over heels for spiderman, are you kidding ?? most definitely tried to climb walls or hang upside down when he was little. desperately wishes he could come up with his own chemical equation for web fluid. heâd completely immerse himself in the fact that there are three different eras to depict and analyze, too, having a very heated debate with charlie and meeks about who the best spiderman is. also really wants to reenact the upside down kiss with todd
neilâs fav movies (he canât pick a fav)Â would be: the og spiderman, the amazing spiderman, and spiderman: homecoming (likes spiderman: 3Â purely for shits and gigs)
todd: i feel like todd really likes comics (would spend his summers collecting them and reading in his room while his parents took jeff to sports camps/summer camps). heâd love scarlet witch because todd really loves to see her character growth through the films (coming to understand her powers and utilizing them accordingly), and also just admires how badass she is (âsheâs so powerful and she doesnât even know it until she faces hardship. oh, i love her so muchâ). upon hearing this explanation, neil couldnât contain a smile because todd doesnât even realize that heâs the exact same way (â: todd also likes bucky because heâs âso coolâ and his metal arm is âsickâ hehe (and he really loves the bond that bucky and steve have)
toddâs fav movie would probably be captain america: tfa because he likes seeing young steve rogers of course, but also because todd admires his strength (sees himself in pre-serum steve and hopes that one day he will become his own version of post-serum steve (: ). also like avengers: aou bc thatâs when heâs really first introduced to scarlet witch (watches the post-credit scene from captain america: tws just to see wanda and pietro)
charlie: charlie never really read comic books, but he loves the mcu !! first of all, charlie canât decide anything ever, so why would picking his fav superhero be any different; peter quill, iron man, or black widow. heâd like peter quill because âheâs unapologetically himself and completely hilarious,â and would absolutely dress as starlord for halloween at least once (probably more than once). as for iron man, charlie just likes how cool tony stark is and how he invented a suit that could fly (âthere are so many likable qualities about him !!â heâd say, to which cameron would reply, âlike what, the fact that heâs a womanizer, a pompous ass, or that heâs seemingly too smart for his own good ?â and charlie would just smirk, âall of the aboveâ). for black widow, itâd be pretty simple (âsheâs so badass. i canât tell if i want to do her or be herâ). claims his honorary mentions would be korg, rocket, and groot
charlieâs fav movies are guardians of the galaxy vol. 1 and vol. 2 because theyâre âfun.â likes thor: ragnarok because it also has fun vibes.
meeks: meeks LOVES comic books to begin with, and collects them avidly, but dr. strange and the entire idea surrounding his powers/strengths ?? the ability to bend time ?? if that doesn't sound right up meeksâ alley, idk what does. there are clearly a lot of things that meeks will geek out over unapologetically, but dr. strange is one of those things that he just will not shut up about, ever (âitâs just so AWESOMEâ). desperately wishes that sling rings were real. also gushes with todd about buckyâs metal arm, going off on a tangent about the science behind the ârigidity flexibility ratio.â can also go on for hours about the quantum realm (:
therefore, meeksâ favorite mcu film is dr. strange and he would be completely eager and buzzing for dr. strange in the multiverse of madness. also likes antman (:
pitts: also a comic book geek hehe. and i'm sensing that pitts really likes thor. thor is pretty much just a dorky, goofy tall dude (like pitts, just with... a lot bigger biceps LOL). finds a lot of the same things funny in the movies that thor laughs at. getting into thor gets him into norse mythology, where heâd spend hours searching for/reading books on it at the welton library (meeks would have to come find him because heâd been gone for that long). wishes he could grow facial hair that nicely, and even attempted to once, but charlie shut that down real quick HAHA (âi'm not going to stop making fun of how ridiculous you look until you shaveâ). becomes a huge einstein rosen bridge geek, learning all there is to learn about that (and norse everything).
pittsâ favorite movie is thor: ragnarok (âitâs the best out of the threeâ), and he really doesnât enjoy thor: the dark world (almost has a vendetta against it, âwhy did they feel the need to dye his beard and his eyebrows ??â)
cameron: surprisingly knows a lot about comics and the mcu ? his fav character is captain america due to steve rogersâ unflinching morals and standards (cameron began to to veer a teeny tiny bit away from cap, though, when he began to rebel in captain america: civil war, but he still loves him). really likes the historical aspect behind captain america (wwii and the 1940s). he and pitts absolutely had a meltdown when steve lifted mjolnir and almost got kicked out of the movie theater for their reaction (âNO FUCKING WAY, NO FUCKING WAY !! I KNEW IT. PITTSIE, I KNEW IT !!â which is super uncharacteristic for cameron, but he doesnât fuck around when it comes to cap). got in an actual argument with charlie after captain america: civil war arguing that tony was in the wrong (âsteve was doing the right thing because he was following his moral code !! even if he was breaking rules, it still made sense,â and charlie would just laugh, âyou say that, but i was just following my moral code when i made the phone call to god and you didnât find that funny,â âyouâre an idiot, charlieâ). also really likes nebula bc he relates to her in the fact that she never felt like she belonged/fit in.
his father served in wwii, so captain america: tfa has a really special place in his heart (heâs seen it so many times he can cite the movie as it goes along)
knox: knox knows the least about superheroes/comics, but still likes to tag along to the movies when the poets go to a premiere. he really likes black widow (âsheâs just really pretty, okay?â) and hulk (âhe just smashes stuff, HAHA ! how awesome is that ??â). even though heâs not very knowledgable about the mcu or marvel itself, he loves to listen to meeks about everything. almost always asks questions throughout the entirety of the movie (âknox, shut up, weâll explain after itâs over !!â). thanos really freaked him out tbh; the idea of something like the snap happening dialed his whole âcarpe diemâ thing to eleven lol.Â
knoxâs fav movie is the first avengers because the amount of conflict isnât as bad as the other avengers movies (âi like seeing them work together, it makes me sad when they argue and disagree).

do you have any ben/leslie headcanons! i love your posts abt them so much it's great to see someone get as emotional abt them as i am asjdkajhjd
i got this message and i was like "god, i dont really know if i have any headcanons" and then i opened my notes app and started typing and didn't stop for over an hour
i'm literally putting this under a break and organizing it into categories bc it's absurdly long
here it is
A COLLECTION OF BEN AND LESLIE HEADCANONS
PRE-RELATIONSHIP/S3
basically canon but leslie definitely had a crush on a young benji wyatt and followed the story religiously for the first couple months before she started college
ben is only slightly jealous leslie had ann go out with chris to try and get more money for the parks budget rather than leslie asking him out with the same goal. he knows itâs insane, unethical, and illogical but heâs still excited that he gets to spend the night with her on a date plus two other people even if it is to accuse her of bribery.
ann realizes early on that leslie was attracted to ben and teases her mercilessly about it. she thinks itâs absolutely hilarious that leslie wants to make out with "mean ben.â after april and andyâs wedding, she realizes it's more than just attraction and she lays off.
before ben can even think rationally about what heâs doing, heâs in line at bed, bath, and beyond with a crock pot in his arms, calling stephanie to ask her to send him their familyâs chicken soup recipe
ann knew ben liked her from the beginning and was totally positive when she ran into him in the hospital asking for leslieâs room number while holding jjâs waffles and a tub of homemade soup.
ben realizes heâs falling in love with leslie when he is at city hall with her until 3am one night trying to budget for the amount of cotton candy machines she wants for the harvest festival. in his exhaustion, he naively believes her when she tells him sheâll go home in a bit so he leaves. he never gets a text from saying she made it home so he stops at jjâs the next morning and brings a takeout container of waffles and a coffee complete with an outlandish amount of whipped cream and sugar to the parks department. he finds her asleep in the conference room. he starts trying to convince sweetums to donate more cotton candy machines that afternoon.
chris had to have known ben liked leslie. heâs not an idiot. in the deleted scene from their wedding, they read out emails from their âtumultuous first week in pawneeâ and chris writes to ben saying, âwhy are you so focused on leslie knope?â ben replies saying, âiâm not. whatever. shut up.â thereâs no way chris is this oblivious. ben takes her out for a beer. ben pays out of pocket for a childrenâs performer to help her out. ben shows up on chris and annâs date just because he thinks leslie might be there. chris canât be this dumb. but when they take the city manager jobs in pawnee, he knows it canât happen so he cuts ben off when he starts to ask about dating someone in city hall. he cracks down on the rule in front of leslie after the tom incident to hammer it in. he starts setting ben up on a bunch of dates to try and head it off. he sends them to indianapolis for the little league pitch because, realistically, he knows theyâre the best bet for success but makes sure to interrupt their dinner and invites them to his apartment to continue to run interference the rest of the night. after their fights in 4.06-4.08, he hopes he wonât have to worry anymore. the next work day, they come into his office looking nervous and happy and he knows heâs about to lose the partner and best friend thatâs been by his side for the past decade.
april and andy knew they were secretly dating. it went unspoken aside from a few implicit teasing remarks from april and a few suggestive attempted high fives from andy but leslie assured ben they wouldnât tell anyone despite their ostensible behavior.
BREAK UP
ben had commissioned the liâl sebastian plush for leslie after he had died but the toy shop didnât finish it until after they broke up. he felt bad not going to pick it up so he did despite not being able to give it to her. he kept it for all those months and sometimes thought about getting rid of it but could never bring himself to do it.
when leslie made personalized copies her books for her friends with individualized annotations and notes in the bylines, she had two copies for ben. there was one that she gave him during their breakup that was very simplified and watered down where the note basically just said âiâm really glad you decided to stay in pawnee.â then there was a second copy that she kept while they were split up that was totally covered in notes and random thoughts she couldnât say during their time apart. she gives him that copy when they get back together and it may or may not be the best gift heâs ever received.
april was much less abrasive with them during the break up because sheâs a sweetheart and wants her friends to be happy.
the first time leslie admitted she was in love with him was during a long night of drinking and crying at annâs house
ben craved the taste of sugar during their breakup because he got used to tasting the sweetness when he kissed her
ben found himself unable to sleep at night without the sound of leslie talking in her sleep to comfort him
april texted leslie the night of the halloween party to let her know that ben and andy were at the hospital after a fight and everything was fine and she didnât need to worry. leslie was mad at andy for a few days after and he couldnât figure out why.
the only photo in benâs bedroom was of himself, leslie, and liâl sebastian at the harvest festival. if he got caught staring at it and crying, he would just say he missed liâl sebastian so much.
april and andy started having star wars and star trek movie nights to try and cheer ben up
DOMESTIC
ben and leslie got in the habit of having weekly game nights with april and andy during the campaign since they were all basically living together. it became a tradition that kept going as often as they could make it happen, even after the kids were born. they try to have game night at least once a month. april pretends to hate it.
one of my absolute favorite ideas about them is that she sleeps much better when heâs around to keep her grounded. after they get together for good, she starts getting closer to 5 hours of sleep a night.
another favorite involving leslieâs sleeping: ben is typically accustomed to tuning out incoherent nonsense that she babbles in her sleep but she also has some of her best ideas when sheâs not busy trying to focus on a million different things. when he hears her coming up with legitimately good ideas or making speeches or having solid debate arguments, he takes out the notebook he keeps in his nightstand to record her thoughts and quotes. he revisits and revises the notes to strengthen her statements and make them more professional and less rambling but makes sure to keep her distinct voice apparent in them.
ben prefers pancakes to waffles but he will go to the grave with that secret
this isnât a headcanon because nbc posted it but one of benâs holidays on leslieâs calendar is watch synchronization day which is the day they celebrate syncing their watches to, as leslie puts it, âalways be in harmony, like our heartsâ which is just one of the sweetest fucking things in the world
leslie makes ben read and watch all the harry potters because he didnât get into them when he first tried. ben is much more of a success than ann. she buys him a ravenclaw scarf for christmas.
their first fight as a couple was a historical debate gone awry
since ben clearly has some affinity for custom stuffed animals, he has some made for the triplets.
theyâre both dog people but they adopt a cat because sonia and stephen beg for one and it does fit their busy lifestyle much better. they love the cat. they get a dog when the kids are older and life is slightly less hectic.
they both love striped shirts and sweaters so much that they have to make a conscious effort to avoid wearing them on the same day and matching
leslie makes sweets and bakes desserts while ben typically handles cooking the actual meals
BASED ON EPISODES, QUOTES, AND THROWAWAY LINES
i always loved the ann/ben dynamic in bus tour because thereâs been such an obvious shift in annâs attitude towards him in this episode. maybe itâs because she and tom just broke up and she just turned chris down again and sheâs frustrated with relationships but i think itâs her realizing ben isnât going anywhere. since the campaign is winding down, she realizes that things arenât gonna go back to the way they were because ben is now part of this and heâs clearly in it for the long haul. annâs definitely jealous that ben is just as important to leslie as she is and she now knows sheâs never gonna get that full attention back. ann sits ben down to have a real âdonât you dare hurt herâ speech after this ep and before win, lose, or draw. this is when he tells ann he wants to marry her.
they discover they both adore the princess bride after ben says âas you wishâ to her one night and after that it becomes their movie.
the wildflower mural becomes a thing between them when ben says he considered that to be their first date, prompting leslie to tell him what the mural means to her.
ben puts banjo boogie bonanza on one of the mix cds he gives leslie at the beginning of their relationship
harrison ford movie nights start after they both reveal they had a crush on him as a kid. ben was obsessed with han solo and leslie was into indiana jonesâ whole history teacher vibe.
they basically hate each otherâs taste in music and stop exchanging mix cds once that becomes apparent that they arenât gonna find much common ground. they both love tom petty, al green, and etta james and music in that vein though.
ben makes leslie watch game of thrones just to try to explain why heâs called her khaleesi. she gets into it, not so much because of the show itself, but because of how passionate her boyfriend is about it.
they start learning basic french during the s4 campaign because they think it will be useful to have a basic multilingual vocabulary for their political careers and because leslie confesses she has always dreamed of seeing paris. they study spanish next.
ben makes leslie watch the star wars prequels just so he can complain to her during them. he doesnât think sheâs paying attention and then he reads about midichlorians in the paper.
ann is also in on benâs plan to sneak vegetables into leslieâs waffles.
they will sometimes jokingly refer to themselves as the âdream teamâ or âdynamic duoâ because, despite chrisâs absurdity, itâs true
iâm open to literally any origin of this because no matter what itâs perfect but i like to think that âi love you and i like youâ started at some point in season 4 when, at some point, leslie went âi like youâ and ben replied âyou like me?â âmhmâ âhm just like me?â âyes i like you. i love you and i like you. both.â âmmm i love you and i like you tooâ
i barely even register some of these things as headcanons since they just live so solidly in my brain
this might be my favorite ask ever thank you for loving benslie enough to ask me this and be genuinely interested
if anyone read all of this, i love you

Ok so I've been stalking your blog for the past couple of hrs after seeing your TadaAi posts (I'm drowning in the period drama that is this ship) and I find you ship Tododeku and rinharu (god i can't stand bakudeku and makoharu) and seems like we share a lot of our views on fandom and ships probably because we're older (I'm 22). Followed and looking forward to your input in the future!
Also you might've given me the motivation to finish watching Free! XD
Hehe yay, please, we need more ppl in our âhouse of oldiesâ, make yourself at home lol. And we share a lot of ships?! Even better <3
I knooow, I canât believe weâve got a gay âmaster who fell in love with his servantâ ship in the anime, just what I needed for my idiotic collection lmao
But also these two have too much going on between them, so much wasted potential in my opinion, itâd be so interesting to explore (but sadly no xD), they were still the only interesting thing for me lolz. I love complicated morons, who became the victims of a huge unrequited requited love misunderstanding, bc theyâre insecure morons lmao and they just have 2 of my fav ships vibes, so itâs probably mostly this haha.Â
Oh, Iâm inputting *wink wink*, canât wait to finish the vid, Iâm having too much fun with it. Iâve just literally spent several minutes trying to get whether Iâve put Tadashiâs sexy mole in the right distance from his eye in the âhim moaning on the tableâ manip lolz. What can I say... I picked the best hobby, with all the support Iâm getting with my vids, Iâm living a dream xD
You know, I think Iâve said it before, but when it comes to bakudeku, I at least understand what ppl hope to see there and why, but like.. itâs just not happenning. Also imagining Bakugou lovingly hugging Midoriya is just so OOC I start laughing all the time. And whatever ppl say, in any ship whether theyâre enemies or rivals or anything, if you canât imagine them being tender with each other, smth is not right in my opinion. Also once again, who needs idiotic bleating Midoriya, idk. Iâm just tired of the endless âdie, deku/out of my wayâ yelling, I like watching Bakugou going to parties and amusement parks and doing silly stuff, too. Like Iâve said before, pride wonât ever let him change the way he behaves with Midoriya, even when theyâre doing âgreatâ. If he was the one, it wouldnât have mattered, no matter how tough you are, and it wouldnât take that long. I also donât think theyâre that kind of relationship, like they move each other for sure, sometimes, yeah (not always in a good way tho), but be together in a relationships? Canât imagine that. Like not all rivals have the rivals to lovers dynamic, no matter what ppl say. But I get the shipping, bc 1stly these two are playing too huge of a role in each otherâs lives, 2ndly Midoriya is obsessed with him and Bakugou obsessed with him too (just in a bad way lmao) and 3rd ppl want that âenemies to loversâ dynamic, since many love it (me included, when it done right and progresses right), so theyâre trying to write that âto loversâ bridge, that just doesnât fit here in my opinion, simply bc Bakugou wonât be soft with Midoriya, like ever in a way, youâd want, and I donât think itâs possible for them to go there.
Tododeku on the other hand, 1stly they also play too huge of a role in each otherâs lives, 2ndly Midoriya is obsessed with him too and Todoroki is lovingly obsessed with him in return, 3rdly they are also rivals to lovers, and I have no problem imagining the second part, it wonât be OOC, 4thly Midoriya when heâs with Todoroki is my fav Midoriya, heâs happy, he is cocooned and heâs badass af (and like when he told Endeavor to fuck off or yelled at Todoroki âthe fuck are u doing?â xD are still the best), 5thly Midoriya forgets about Bakugou, when heâs with Todoroki a lot and itâs just funny to me, 6thly they healed each other so nicely, I canât not be into that, 7thly when theyâre together I have like 0 worries, idk Iâm like âhe will catch himâ anyways haha, Bakudeku just donât give me this vibe. Itâs like yeah, they wonât let each other die, but itâs always this chaos of âout of my wayâ, âI donât want your helpâ and âlet me punch you before I punch the villainâ that Iâm just âoh for godâs sake, pls bring in Kirishima and Todoroki so we could just go home, it couldâve been solved in 2 minutesâ lmao. Etc, etc.
Tododeku just have too many winning points over bakudeku for me, same with kiribaku over bakudeku, even tho I 100% get bakudeku as a ship ofc. Also idk whether things would be different if Todoroki wouldnât exist in the equation, but the moment I saw that s2 scene where Bakugou started yelling and Todoroki just ignored him and was like âwas Midoriya always this good?â, there was no going back to me XD. Like they both obviously see that Midoriya is wonderful, but only one reacted to that in a way that I wanted. And Iâm a sucker for the ships who donât give a fuck and like âyeah, I find him amazing and everyone should know thatâ. Todoroki is also one of those guys, who if you give them the much needed love, theyâll return it tenfold with a forever devotion. And all of my fav ships are like that: Yullen, Rinharu, Mikayuu, Wangxian, Akakuro, etc. Theyâre like âwell, I ainât an idiot to let someone this precious goâ, you know lol
On the other hand, when it comes to Kirishima, Bakugou can do all kind of ridiculous thing I wouldnât imagine he would do to keep him or make him happy, you know. Kirishima is also the only one, who can put his arm around Bakugou without it being cut off, so I donât make the rules here lol.
So itâs not like I canât stand bakudeku, more of like canât imagine this work, to me itâs easier to imagine todobaku in a relationships, but not bakudeku lolz.
But when it comes to makoharu, I just have a huge problem with it and I will never get it. Bc they donât bring anything good in each other like AT ALL, I donât even understand what kind of relationships this is from their shipper point of view; they give each other nothing, and one of them is totally in love with someone else and wants a future with him. And that someone also head over heals with him and also wants a future with him. And I hate how 99,9 % of mh fans donât give a fuck about Haru or Rin whatsoever and just ignore their characterâs everything. Bc Makoto. Iâm also like if you love him so much, the fuck would you want him to be with Haru anyways, dude doesnât reciprocate, like at all. Iâm at confusion, like name good points of this ship and what good can they do for each other characteristically. There is none, itâs like a damn swamp. Like usually I can give my notp some points, but this is like... theyâre both no good for each other... like... why would anyone even want this idk. Donât tell me âfor the childhood friendsâ one-sided dynamic, like why wonât you also ship Shion with Safu then, like even he seemed more invested in that, than Haru in makoharu lol.
Even if you think of them from the point of view of âthe two who are always walking togetherâ ships, that are everywhere nowdays (even tho since Haru moved to Tokyo, he was always with Asahi instead), but even if... those kind of ships are usually at least make each happy and are enough for each other. Haru on the other hand, when he doesnât have Rin, he is walking with Makoto like a ghost, not even caring if heâs talking next to him AND heâs getting ennoyed by him. Like explain, how someoneâs shipping them romantically. Itâs been showed like 20 times, that with Rin, but without Makoto, he can be perfectly happy, without Rin tho, he never is.
Also someone explain, what exactly is the point of splitting up two characters, who are happy together, make each other the best versions of themselves and want to be together whole-heartedly? Like I know many start shipping smth, bc the relationships are better in the other pairing, for example, but this is like... definitely not the case here. Like what exactly is missing in rinharu, that makoharu has? Lack of progression and mutual inspiration?
So yes, if youâre into rinharu, totally finish Free! Theyâre like doing sooo incredible and holy shit theyâre inspiring, I mean, look, theyâre now the tokyo olympics ambassadors, like how many of yall gay ships reached that? you canât miss out on them, and also theyâre so hilariously romantic, they literally made a wish to swim with each other since they were 13 and did everything to get each other there, Iâm.. youâre lying, if you didnât cry watching them as chibies making wishes on a star and watching them now. One of the most wonderful development in my opinion. Like who wouldâve thought back in s1, that weâll get Haru yelling on top of Rin about how he made him want a future with him, def not me lmao and now all the olympics boyfriends fanfiction are true, I mean, idk what to say anymore. I miss them so much, I canât wait for the movie :D

1/4 the thing about Donna is that it was after Claudia died that she was probably vulnerable enough to fall for the 'I adopt you as my child so now you have a family and i'll give you a 'gift'' shtick of Miranda's. Claudia died in 1996 aged 9 and was either her sister or her child. The Gardener says 'Mistress Donna' and 'Miss Claudia' so she was already head/last heir of the Beneviento estate.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Claudia's death must have been the final hit for Donna. Losing her parents was one thing, but it's something all of us will have to deal with in our lives at some point (hopefully a late one). Losing a younger sibling/child when they're 9 is undoubtedly tragic. Considering Claudia's age I immediately assumed she was Donna's younger sister; I saw Donna as quite young herself, unless she was super young when she had Claudia, if Claudia is her child. But in any case, her death must have caused her even more distress, so it was the perfect situation for Miranda to swoop in and claim herself as Donna's "mother". Especially considering that Miranda's "gift" allowed Donna to create the perfect friend; Angie, the doll that was gifted to her by her father, and whose personality she could shape exactly the way she wanted.
2/4 as for nonaging+alcina, i raise you: her daughters. 3 young women were experimented on w cadou and as a result they were 3 amnesiac carnivorous swarms of flies that went back to looking pre-experiment. Then got adopted. And stayed looking like that for years up to the game's events. As for Heisenberg, he says 'decades of being forced to serve her' so shouldn't he have said 'my whole life' (he's dramatic/showman enough that he would have) or reference to lifelong slavery or 'MM raised us'?
Good point about the daughters! I hadn't even thought of them! But yeah iirc one of the diary notes you find in the game is dated at around 1958 or something, and it mentions Daniela, so all three of them were definitely there at least since then, non-aging and all. And I think though Alcina ended up adopting them, Miranda also oversaw the experimentation on them, so it's a good point towards proving that symbiosis with the Cadou pauses one's aging completely.
And yeah, Heisenberg would definitely be as dramatic as to say something like that, especially considering how oversharing he was about everything. It was like he was seeing Ethan run around his factory, being the only intelligent creature around that wasn't on Miranda's side, and he just unloaded all his burden because Ethan was the very first to be able to comprehend it and not rat him out to Miranda (who, ironically enough, already knew all about Heisenberg's wish to rebel against her). And Ethan was just like "Dude I honestly don't give a shit" XD
But yeah the way he says "She took me. Took us. To be her children." He sounds disgusted and like, he's rightfully so but the kind of disgust fits a bit more the idea of Miranda kidnapping a grown-ass man, experimenting on him with the hope of reviving her daughter through him, and when that failed she just claimed him as her "son". It sounds more like that and less like a rebellious son who, after growing up, realized what a fucked-up caretaker he had as a child.
3/4 MM had established herself/met Spencer/forbade people from going+getting anything from outside the village by the late 50s/early 60's that's why there are trucks and tvs and radios; and the Duke being the one to sell newspapers to villagers + being Karl's informant about bsaa+the stuff that happened in america (this is from the game director Sato who said heisenberg isn't a nazi and the fanservice of 'boulder punching asshole' here polygon . c o m / interviews / 22453564)
4/4 and now that i think more on it, MM just grabbed the last descendants of the most historically powerful houses, literally the founding ones (except alcina) to have even more influence within the village huh. timeline is wonky for sure. but then again all re canon is a bit wonky. Tumblr pls don't eat this one.
I honestly fucking love the design in the village because it's so well made to showcase that Miranda had cut off any connection from outside and inside the village. People on the outside didn't know it existed (aside from whoever it was in BSAA who made sure the mold man and his mold daughter would be relocated in driving distance to it and its leader with an obsession over a certain megamycete), and people on the inside were stuck with technology of mid-20th century and zero contact with the outside world. Even the Duke seems to adapt to it style-wise even though he obviously can contact the outside world.
And yeah, from the very little we see of the villagers, they seem to have felt very obedient to the Lords and Miranda, even though people like Elena were terrified of Castle Dimitrescu (with good reason!). And that probably was because Miranda made sure to have control over the right influences in the village.
Also, I love the phrase "the fanservice of "boulder-punching asshole'". Out of context it just sounds even more hilarious.
Thank goodness that I've taken to saving every ask in a txt bc my memory is bad. Next time I'll send shorter stuff like the friendly reminder+oppy+ethan and the hammer thing tho. You shouldn't have given me permission to ramble, now your inbox is mine, nyehehehe /joking
Honestly, I love getting your messages! I have a quick scroll through my activity every morning before work and I smiled every time I saw the notifications of your messages! Feel free to make yourself at home in my inbox :D
