Some of me and my bro as super sons incorrect quotes:
Damian: So in theory, since this animal hide is the most similar to a human, this is the same texture a human's skin would be if burnt to this extreme extent.
Jon: That's cool. Now you look at my Ninjago cards, this is my lord Garmadon card-

the older and weirder i get the more i'm beginning to realize that i was actually a very cool kid who had no shame or fear until i was taught that i'd be punished for it and everything since then has been a slow uphill battle to get that part of myself back

The motif of home is an essential concept to his character. Kaveh describes ‘home’ being different than to that of a ‘house’, as in a house indicates a solitary object, whereas ‘home’ refers to people
This is explained in the loss of Kaveh’s family resulted in his home becoming a house: “"Home" went from a sanctuary of warmth and light to a cold and lonely hall” (Kaveh Character Story 2).
The concept of a home, then, is particularly important in regard to Alhaitham as Alhaitham invited Kaveh to live in his house after Kaveh sold his family house to pay for the re-building of the Palace of Alcazarzaray. Kaveh, at this point in time, is described to be “homeless”, which is indicative of him not only being without a place to live, but without people which ‘home’ could come into fruition. After meeting Alhaitham for the first time in years after their parting, the concept of ‘home’ is directly related to Alhaitham:
Upon seeing his family’s house, his old “home”, which he had sold in order to provide the funding to rebuild the Palace of Alcazarzaray, Alhaitham prompts Kaveh to reflect on the pursuit of his ideals, whereafter Kaveh acknowledges that his ideals were not in the wrong, it is his method of achieving them. Kaveh resolves not to give up, and a second chance is presented to him in Alhaitham inviting Kaveh to live with him.
Where Kaveh ‘sees’ his old “home”, the family he no longer belongs to, all he lost due to his regrets, Alhaitham “sees” through Kaveh, understands him, and asks him a question which simultaneously renews his beliefs in his ideals and the future. This passage links Alhaitham’s sense of home to Kaveh, and offers Alhaitham as a home for Kaveh.

I'm begging people to stop assuming that fics are abandoned if they haven't been updated in a few years. A fic isn't abandoned unless it's labeled so! Life happens! Something that hasn't been updated in 3 years may still get updates.

thinking about near misses in east blue.
shanks doesn't like conflict. he doesn't want to fight. he knows if buggy sees him a fight will happen. (does he know that buggy is concealing his history with roger? idk) so obviously he avoids him. shanks is great at avoiding people!
but how close do they get first?
do the red-haired pirates, looking for a new base of operations, spot a ship in port with a jolly roger that sends a shiver of recognition down shanks' spine?
do they land on opposite sides of the same island once? wander through the same market? nearly stop at the same stall? is the only thing that saves shanks from getting sworn at for a solid hour the sharp ear that catches on the phrase “captain buggy” and the quick thinking to duck into a random shop while his first mate gives him a deeply concerned look?

drowning in phoenix and apollo's relationship because it's not easy it's not easy at all but i know apollo is there waiting for the grand gesture and he knows it's not coming he will never admit he wants it but god. he Knows he's somewhat important to phoenix but how much?? is phoenix willing to truly put himself in danger to save apollo? is apollo willing to let him?? or is it going to be yet another step in the cycle of sacrificing for something neither of them truly believe in????
