Fascinating to me that Hunter in the owl house not only fills the “child soldier of the villain who switches sides” archetype but if we are going through the tropes of fairy tales that The Owl House likes to play with, is a little bit the princess in the tower??

After Jack fails to stay on the wooden paneling with Rose, his expression indicates that he's accepted his fate. He knows he is going to die so she can live.

i think like. sean and jinnah happen first. it's easier.
because like jinnah's got this stupid fucking crush that turns her into a blithering idiot if marion so much as looks at her, and sean's thing with marion is like putting your hand on a hot stove so he just. doesn't think about it.
and the doc's pretty, and it's easy to make her smile and maybe calling her doc kinda does it for him, and she hasn't got a whole lot of experience, been in the books her whole life, but she's a quick study and. skilled hands.
and it's low pressure, which is nice because everything ever for them is so fucking high pressure.
and sean keeps. teasing her, saying things like "when are you gonna upgrade" and "we both know I'm not who you really want" and "your whole fluttering eyelashes thing is cute and all but he's kinda thick in the head so you gotta actually tell him how you feel" and one day in a fit of pique she says "you first" and then.

it's so funny (read: sad) that if bigoted fuckheads didn't insist i was a woman simply by virtue of my body at birth, i'd probably be chill with she/her pronouns in addition to he/they. if my mom didn't insist i was her daughter, i'd probably let her call me that, and we could still have a relationship.
i'm nonbinary and 'gendered' words are hypothetically meaningless, but because there are so many people who are more interested in telling me who i am rather than lovingly and curiously letting me express my own sense of self, those words carry trauma.
there's no reason a nonbinary person like myself can't be a son and a child and a daughter. there's no reason a nonbinary person like me can't go by he, they, and she.
'she' is not a slur. 'daughter' is not derogatory. 'beautiful' 'pretty' 'gorgeous' 'feminine' are not insults.
to the contrary, they're parts of language that express certain facets of a multi-faceted human existence, like mine.
and i have this sad, mournful feeling that if it weren't for unloving, condescending people, i'd probably be down to be called any of those things alongside my usual masculine/neutral terminology.
but i'd rather die than let anyone tell me what i have to be called.

Having one of those occasions where the opening that I’m writing to set up a fic premise is turning into its own fic.
Me: I just need you to submit paperwork for Damian’s social security number and school registration, Dick, so he pops up on the social work radar. Just need the premise.
Also me: Dick and Talia are arguing constantly over filing government paperwork and co-parenting goals.
