#but not sugary cereal

[bluegarners]

getting a tiny bit tired of the adamancy of the new fanony-but-think-its-canon take of dick being the absolutely rage filled robin. like yes, kind of? he was 9, his whole world just ended before his eyes, and his only way to process was through grief and anger bc nobody was taking a child seriously. additionally, the only person who wanted to help him at that time was also a man who was filled with a similar grief and anger and had learned to channel it in a violent way. of course dick grayson as robin resembled something as "angry" or "rage-filled" but that wasn't him too?? like, how to explain it...

the reversal of the fanon trope of dick being the "sunshiny" robin into someone angry and violent and out for blood is not the helpful shift many people think it is when trying to understand dick grayson as a character as a child. so much of fandom is turning characters very flat and not allowing them to experience two things at the same time or in fluctuating variances. which is. counterintuitive when trying to construct a cognitive map about them. having linear lines drawn for a character and keeping them in direct parallel to others, never letting them cross or intermingle, does the opposite of deepening understanding and depth of character.

what a lot of the "hot takes" i see about this very pivotal moment in dick's life focus on the rage as a very ongoing thing. i myself have touched on it a few times in metas and fics, and although i do believe dick's relationship with anger and how he responds to it is important to understanding his character, i do not believe it is a core aspect of it. yes, dick was angry as robin. he was angry bc his parents were taken from him in a very violent way for something that dick had very little understanding of. these are things that are obviously understandable to be angry about. heck, anger would not begin to describe the kind of feeling at having everything you've ever known be stripped away from you by something you had no part in or control over

but anger is not who dick grayson's robin was. his entire character is centered around hope and kindness and giving second chances. his character is about forgiveness and so many people brush over that part when laser focusing on his anger over the man that killed his family. one of the first things dick did as robin was go after and beat his parents' murderer, but he also stopped. he didn't beat that man to the point of killing him and he didn't go after him again once the man was put in prison. that may not seem like such a monumental thing but dick grayson forgave the man who took everything away from him in that simple action of stopping

by pulling him away from his anger, bruce gave dick a second chance at a life beyond that. and in return, dick never forgot that lesson and actively worked on and added to it. he became better because of his anger by practicing kindness, exercising restraint, and learning from his mistakes when things went too far

dick grayson as robin is more than just the violent night he cemented himself as a vigilante by catching his first murderer. his robin is about moving past it and being a symbol of hope for others who are lost in similar ways, showing them that there is a path beyond the grief and rage. that there is hope and light at the end of the long tunnel and it's okay if a little guidance is needed along the way to get there

#dick grayson #robin #anyway never want to see those posts again thank u #they are getting to be just as bad as those weird ones that make dick happy 24/7 and sugary cereal munching

idk you know sometimes i think about getting in a lil spat with steve in somewhere mundane like the grocery store or record store or something — just a little back and forth and you mumble something extra mean under your breath.

and just like — just him grabbing your chin and asking like — ‘hm? you wanna speak up?’

and you’re all bashful.

‘huh? you wanna say that again?’

and he does that bitchy steve grin and nods like, ‘aw yeah, i didn’t think so.’ and gives you a lil’ kiss on your squished lips.

oh my god like when he says “finish. the sentence.” to nancy. PEAK bitchy steve.

“what’d you say?”

he’s got you backed up against the cart and you’re afraid that he’ll take another step and make you fall on your ass. “nothing,” you say, breathless.

“thought i heard something,” he says, kind of frowning, grabbing your chin. your stomach flips - why’s he gotta do this in public? “thought i heard you bein’ mean.”

“of course not,” you whisper. “i’d never be mean to you, steve.”

“right,” he says, grinning softly. his fingers move up to squish your cheeks. “‘cause you know i’ll return it times ten, right, angel?”

“uh huh,” you say, entranced, arching your back so that the cart doesn’t go flying, pushing yourself up against his crotch.

he stares at you for a while. it makes you want to disappear. being under his heavy gaze sends you reeling, hardly feeling worthy of his attention. then he leans down and kisses you, real quick, just enough. “so, we agree we’ll get the coco puffs, right?”

“you’re a bastard,” you sigh, but this time, he only grins.

#he’s like i’m gonna be so fucking dramatic about getting the sugary cereal and ur gonna deal w it. #stevenose posts #ns/fw #steve x reader #mean!steve

[TUVOKTOBER: Day 13] Do you have slor-tukh-sa money, Elieth?

#grocery shopping with the family <3 #Vulcan telepathy is fun bc you can add a little stir-the-pot comment into a conversation from several aisles away #slor-tukh-sa is a branded sugary fruit cereal I made up. Very popular with children across several federation planets! #As a kid there's nothing you want less than a food that's advertised as being GOOD for you by your parent #also in the end they don't get the sugary cereal but they do all get a coin so they can watch a gum dispenser dispense a single piece of gu #in a flashy and interesting way (they have to beg Tuvok for this as well but he's tired after a long day of saying no #and distracted by the cashier and honestly having them leave him alone for a few minutes while he completes this transaction is worth it) #<- Sek keeps his coin and instead helps his father with the groceries though....show off #[REDACTED] family shenanigans #Tuvok #st voyager #bea art tag #tuvoktober

today in kindergarten volunteer adventures: one of the kids asked me if I had children, which happens at least once every time I go in; the first time one boy asked me if I had kids and then followed it up by asking if I was in 1st grade, which is possibly the funniest combination of questions I've ever been asked. anyway, until today I thought I didn't have children but this sweet kindergartner revealed to me that I have four kids... ages 11, 12, 17, and 88 :D I don't know anything about them yet but happily the kindergartners love telling me things* so I'm sure ONE of them will be able to help me out here. I can't believe I've been a deadbeat mom for like 90 years now. this is especially enchanting to me bc I'm turning 34 tomorrow LMAO

#I LOVE THESE KIDS SO MUCH... #she's not even in the class I volunteer in! i do lunch/recess duty as well so i've gotten to meet kids from all 3 classes :3 #*possibly the greatest thing about volunteering with kindergartners is that they LOVE explaining the rules #one kid came to tattle on another kid my second day and i was like 'oh let's ask mrs. p about this i'm new and don't know the rules' #not only did he promptly start explaining them to me - when he got to the one about 'no tattling' he paused and was like 'oh yeah' #and then just wandered away to go play with blocks. and that's how i learned there's a rule against tattling in mrs. p's kindergarten class #i was really impressed he put 2 and 2 together like that on the spot. even for adults that can be a struggle #anyway. today was the leprechaun hunt which was very exciting for us all :D the leprechaun is 1001 years old and HATES sugary cereal #helper teacher #bonewhiteglory.txt

Re-experiencing my childhood by getting up early on a saturday just to play video games

#all i’m missing is a big bowl of insanely sugary cereal

[eileenleahy]

in good life news i found a healthier alternative to my all-time safe food that ive eaten nearly every single day for 10 years

#its a pretty sugary cereal while the alternative is just as good and healthier AND the chocolate used is more ethically sourced. AND it was #only a dollar at whole foods. im living large

[junk-culture]

price of weetabix these days is truly atrocious. £4.10 for chocolate chip bitesize minis is the most recklessly decadent purchase ive made in months

#i dont eat cereal that much apart from really plain non sugary stuff but i have a hankering for chocolate chip minis. not had them in years #i fear they will not taste like they deserve to be £4.10 however .

[cantankerouscatfish]

Allen started crying at me today when I was making cereal. I let him sniff a miniwheat to show that they are a boring human food.

he chomped right down on the thing with his pointy lil teefs. didn't manage to break anything off. tried again. I took the cereal back bc I didn't want him eating sharp bits. he was so sad. :(

#meowbagbloggin #they both get a little yogurt whenever I have it out. like. they hear me open the container and BOOK IT from the other room #wailing and pawing at my legs and doing big eyes. they LOVE to eat germs. #and. cereal apparently. no sugary cereal for cats!

[clowndensation]

ran out of 3 of my cereals, so i ate a full bowl of my more sugary one. having heart palpitations.

#the key to cereal is to have One good granola One protein cereal One fiber cereal and One sugary delight cereal #and then mix them all together for the ultimate cereal experience #and the second you mess up that combination the world will throw you right on your ass

what would Tuvok’s reaction be to fruity pebbles? >:)

Put Them BACK.

#Tuvok #If you want fruit with your cereal he will provide you with FRESH fruit Elieth v_v #'It isn't the same' 'Indeed. It is better.' #Q&A #bee doodles #anon #I can't imagine him liking sugary things...at least not admitting to it #I CAN imagine him liking dark chocolate or its equivalent and sneaking squares of it when no one else (except T'Pel) can see him #It'd be cute if he really liked candy/sweets as a kid but then had to give it up when he was sent to temple #And now he has a sort of association with candy/sweets as being childish...+ as an adult too much sugar is just overwhelming to him #Tuvok's kids hoping and praying that whatever treat they offer to him in the grocery store passes the: Squints at Nutrition Label check #Why are there grocery stores in a future world where you can replicate food you ask??? -smiles-

[smokeys-house]

Yknow they added a new character to the lineup of spooky cereals? Carmella creeper. She's a zombie. But what happened to the fruit brute werewolf? We need him now more than ever... literally a fruity werewolf. Also did we abandon yummy mummy as well? How far the mighty have fallen...

#smokey talks #i think count chocula is my fav tho idrk #theyre all just sugary cereals and tbqh i prefer bland cereals most days
