#expecting another fight

[nerdpoe]

Damian was placed in the Pits to prove he could survive as an infant. Only...the pits didn't give him back.

Danny was taking a trip to a weird, rank area of the Infinite Realms per Clockworks request, when a fuckin baby plopped in through a portal.

A baby.

Naturally, Danny snatched the kid up and flew as fast as he could back home.

He turns back to his human form just as the basement door slams open.

Danny stares up at his mom and dad.

They stare down at him.

"I found a baby in the portal," is the only thing Danny can make his mouth say.

His parents are thrilled to welcome another kid into the family, no matter how grumpy the little tyke seems.

In Nanda Parbat, Talia cannot find her son. He isn't in the pit; he just. Disappeared into it.

So he went somewhere.

She promises her father she will find Damian, but Ra's has another idea.

He calls Bruce Wayne to Nanda Parbat, with a simple letter.

"We have lost the child you had with Talia. My condolences."

Don't Wormy About Me.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #yu ziyuan #Please allow me to make it clear how important I think the hug between YZY and JC is in regards to several aspects of their characters #For one - it is the resolution and reveal that behind all the harsh words and bitterness...She really did love her son. #A hug is a soft gesture that you would never expect from someone like YZY and the fact she shows JC this affection now - #-Tells us how she knows that this upcoming battle is a death sentence for her. #Her giving away Zidan is honestly overkill but another sign of her truly showing him how she loves him and wants him to survive. #The dread of knowing she's walking back to a fight without zidian and trying to keep up brave face one last time...chilling. #Zidian represents legacy and promises. And this is going to both save and destroy Jiang Cheng as he carries this weight alone. #Heartbreaking stuff! Didn't draw it in the comic because I wanted to draw a silly worm on a string! #WWX tried to help JC out of the knot but got stuck in it. #Those worm on a string tricks are harder than they look! #Also; it's been about a year since the last boat joke - but indeed this is the 11th boat of pd-mdzs.

I’ll never get there, but if I put the work in, maybe I’ll get close enough that I can chase just behind perfection — and have a front-row seat as you achieve it.

can you really talk about tim's tendency to idolize and place dick on a pedestal and his semi-entitlement to understanding dick without also talking about dick's tendency to project his own feelings and insecurities onto tim and also his semi-entitlement to his right to try and micromanage how tim should feel and react about things. i, personally, cannot.

#dick and tim #anyways trust me when i say that none of this is meant in a negative way because this is what i Like about them lmao #forever thinking of the M/F fight where dick expects that tim will go alone with his line of thinking just because he says so #and is shocked when tim doesn't and instead has his own thoughts and feelings abt the matter #and babs has to tell him that tim isn't him & had a fundamentally different experience to him #it's like hmmm very realistic to me #the way they do this to each other in a way that almost is depersonalizing but like isn't actually #it's more just that they understand each other so well most of the time that it's easy to forget that they're their own person #with their own thoughts and feelings #like hm. there is something very realistically siblings about it in that #older siblings do tend to try and dominate the relationship with their thoughts and feelings because #their first memories are of being expected to lead their sibling and the sibling usually comes at a time when the older sib is v possessive #so the older sibling conceives the younger sibling as belonging to them and being kind of a hm extension of them vs their own person #meanwhile the younger sibling has no knowledge of a life where the older sibling doesn't exist #and the younger sibling's experience is that of observation of the older sibling from basically the very first day of life #so the younger sibling will often see and perceive the older sibling in very interesting ways #they're always learning something with thay observation good or bad #and thus probably develop more instrinsic understanding than even the parents do #and conflict comes because each is their own person but it's hard to see them that way sometimes #anyways there's also another thread where for dick it's hard to conceptualize tim's family of origin as real compared to them #but that's like mainly headcanon just know i'm right and it's interesting

The Wheelers + Forced Conformity (aka the reason why they are Vecna’s target) 

#byler #I can talk more about how jncy first fight it's so so similar to bylr first fight too!!! #it's about the same thing the wheeler sibling changed when they started dating their partner #to Nancy dating Steve was the form to rebelling but at the end she was doing just what another suburban girl did #and to Mike dating El was the way to feel like he was special or cooler but at the end he was just doing what society expects of him #like Mike fell in the trap of heteronormativity #long post #forced conformity tag #st screencaps

Reminder that Princess Bubblegum/Bonnie and Prince Gumball/Gary have no canon sexuality. They are canonically WLW / MLM but there has not been confirmation, only Marceline (and Marshall Lee since he is her) has been confirmed to be bisexual by the writers. It is valid to headcanon them as bi, it is also valid to headcanon them as lesbian / gay. It is not bi erasure because they have no canon sexuality! Please stop fighting amongst one another!! They are WLW / MLM!!

#the sexuality discourse is driving me insane #pls stop fighting one another #i also cant respond to any comments for some reason so heads up if ya'll start commenting and expect me to respond #fionna and cake #adventure time #gumlee #marshall lee #gary prince #prince gumball #bubbline #marceline #princess bubblegum

Has anyone addressed the fact that laszlo and nadja had matching hair highlights AGAIN in the finale but this time they were blue

#i clocked it immediately #i need someone to gif them for me bc idk how #but i feel like theres something there with color analysis and the red highlights showing up when nandermo is fighting #(night market + i think the most recent time was when nandor told guillermo they didnt need him? i could be wrong) #but then these new blue highlights showing up when nandermo fighting is what everyone expects #but instead we get an episode filled with nandor gently caring for and protecting guillermo #and overall just an episode about how much they all care for one another #but its tinged with longing and distance because to be a vampire means you have to keep everyone you love at arms length #i wish i knew how to make gifs so that i could do so much analysis based on the hair and wardrobe of this show. theres so much there #wwdits

Valencia 2013: Marc Marquez is asked about his best victory that year as well as about Valentino Rossi's season

#marc marquez #rosquez #// #4693 #big element of marc's 2015 head loss is that my man did not expect he'd be losing to valentino over the course of a full season #'we can say that he's fighting' bud thought vale had a terminal case of being washed #him and everyone else!! and it's kinda a different dynamic right like it's lovely to have your idol paying attention to you but!! #he's not the main competition and you're beating him 9/10 times. flattering and fun and he's super nice about it too <3 #but then you get to 2015 and vale's drawing back because he's in Title Fight Mode and marc's suddenly having his own ego crisis #which is how you get him massively failing the cool girl test in assen. one thing to be learning from your idol #it's quite another for him to teach you a lesson

Scale of one to ten, how mad do you think Kohga is when, after he describes his/the Clan’s long, difficult work to figure out how to use Zonai tech, to collect charges, and to reconstruct a mighty ancient construct to gift to Lord Ganon, and after he debuts said amazing piece of engineering (which he’s even dressed up to show it’s special and his)*…

Link can just stand back and let his own mech, that he built in like two days tops and that is powered by a sage who barely knows him and is following him more or less blindly because he’s the Princess’s Chosen Hero…

Bop his creation repeatedly with a spiky metal ball (his own signature weapon)?

Because I think the answer is over 9000.

This is the mask of a man having a breakdown.

#yiga clan #legend of zelda #tears of the kingdom #master kohga #I love to death how he gave his construct a huge collar and little sleevies and put his insignia on it #he worked so hard on that thing and didn’t have a magic hand or a Zonai ghost or even the exposition from the stewards/mining constructs #and then link gets *handed everything once again* #((myyyy own screenshots)) #((*maaan that’s not a gift whatever you say. you made that for yourself didn’t you? yeaaah yeah you did.)) #((just goes to show about that whole ‘yeah I guess we serve Ganon but have you seen master kohga???’ thing the yiga got going on)) #((kohga will take that thing to ganon and then just expect to be showered with praise and get to keep using it)) #((meanwhile Ganondorf doesn’t give a fig about him or it whoops)) #another lil detail: the construct's red shield matches the red-pink-orange magic the yiga/maz koshia use. #but kohga's own personal shields he's used in each fight and in botw are the blue shared by sheikah tech and impa (aoc) AND maz koshia #nice blend of the two varieties of ancient sheikah magic on display here! (alongside the zonai-style energy powering the thing) #((iirc seized construct's shield/other magic/tech is a different red color--that's ganondorf's color))

and shout-out to weepe's guards! competent enough to move quicker than kozma's people, strong enough to overpower them despite being outnumbered, and seemingly didn't even blink at not just killing other people but at doing it with horrific weaponized tearror-blood. weepe found these guys in the fucking TRUST?

#midst podcast #midst #midst spoilers #midst podcast spoilers #i'm of two minds about it bc on the one hand kestrel astutely pointed out that there was no mention of valor or abacuses where you'd expect #and using the fold to tear apart a bunch of guards who are trying to stop their boss getting Murdered doesn't Seem very valorous by trust s #and weepe having a bunch of guys in his pocket who WEREN'T originally trust even if they've been pulled in seems like something he'd like #but on the other hand. where would he have GOTTEN a bunch of non-trust guys???? #AND they're referred to as a special king triangle 'Company guard' in 3.7 #plus i really like the idea that like...the trust really does have some VERY fucking competent soldiers #we've seen phineas do some genuinely impressive athletic stunts and we know costigan can uh. hold her own in a fight #and anyway it isn't the prime consector's unit's job to be the best it's their job to LOOK the best #of COURSE you'd want your really skilled guys protecting your upper trustees and your king triangle #hell it's just another angle of the non-trust society underestimating the trust (but that's a whole nother post) #and as far as the valor goes...well. we've certainly seen definitions shift! company guards stood outside the vault in 2.13 too! #and witnessed the devastation after!

Average Drama Enjoyer observes some peak drama.

#dungeon meshi #toshiro nakamoto #laios touden #kabru #izutsumi #Before anyone mistakes this as mischaracterization: The joke here is that it's ambiguous what the hell he means. #Kabru does love getting into fights a bit more than average but he's mostly here for the drama. #I screenshot the scene of him going 'The dark arts!' with a little smile everytime I re-read dungeon meshi. He's so catty. I love him. #And shout out to Izutsumi for adding fire to the drama. Girl said 'I am the listener. I heard that shit.' and refused to apologize. #Joke two: the deep cut - Welcome to more propaganda for whatever the hell is going on between Laios & Shuro & Kabru. #Laios trusting Shuro with some *heavy* information because he admires him so much! And wants to be his friend so badly! #Kabru also has another great character moment when he immediatly clocks Laios as not being as malicious as expected. #We love a character who can put the clues together! It is such a good subversion of what role we think Kabru is to play in this story! #Now he's eager to befriend Laios - who is barely interested and currently trying to befriend Shuro - who is barely interested and...well. #The painful triangle of people trying to get to know the other person better and being rejected...Friendship triangle. #We have all had a friendship triangle situation before. Right? You guys have also struggled to read people. Right? #Laios is universally relatable. Right?

You promised— He always liked to think that Earendil hated him. It made it easier, somehow. To push back the grief and the guilt and the filthiness that clung to his bones. But his nephew was constantly in his presence, laughing and chattering like a little bird. And Maeglin hated himself all the more for what he had done.

Day 4: Earendil & Maeglin for @nolofinweanweek

Man, I went into the Trails series with a WAY different idea of what they were like then what they actually were. Trails: "Welcome to Zemuria. Here, an industrial revolution based around the use of orbal energy is completely changing society. You can even use orbal energy to enhance your physical abilities via portable devices called orbments! They also allow you to use magical abilities called Arts." Me: "Oh, so this is how people are going to do crazy anime shit. Via fancy Arts and Orbments power. I can easily see how this system can be used for a clear and consistent power system, in an otherwise realistic and grounded setting." Trails: "Uhhhh" Me: "So this guy who uses the Shadow Clone no Jutsu is using a really fancy Art, right?" Trails: "No, he can just do that." Me: "Oh, o-okay" Trails: "One of your party members is a twelve-year-old girl with a gatling gun." Me: "What" Trails: "Your dad has a DBZ-esque power-up move and can go hand-to-hand with a giant robot. It's completely unrelated to any kind of Orbal enhancement." Me: "WHAT" Trails: "I haven't even mentioned the guy who's just The Joker With Superpowers yet"

#trails series #sora no kiseki #trails in the sky #cassius bright #tita russell #campanella #i like this series a lot so far #but i never know what to expect #technically campanella is introduced before cassius' boss fight #but it's funnier this way #funnily enough there's actually a bunch of geopolitics stuff that's really interesting #but it makes the giant robots and anime shit stand out even more #i already mentioned the child supersoldier with the gundam attempting to break up an international treaty in another post #it's crazy that tita's gatling gun is a thing that diagetically exists within the game world #not sure about her orbital laser #btw i've only made it up to halfway through Trails to Azure #i have no idea what awaits me in trails of cold steel

Tiny question! When Clicks said “I don't understand…! It didn't have that reaction with the rest of us.” When referring to the side effects Spamton got when drinking his own tea, then does this mean that the other addisons tried Spamton tea to get an opinion? If yes, what where the HP benefits and descriptions each Addison would have when drinking Spamton Tea? I’m curious!

ofcourse! So it had happened off screen, and a scene i won't be writing (but definitely pictured thus it being referenced with a one-off comment), but while spamton was still in snoozetown post-neo attack, clicks made it to try and gauge if they were rlly cut out for this whole helping-spamton-out shtick, but for their own sakes. so i'm glad you're curious about it so i get to elaborate! :D

spamton's tea doesn't heal any one of them all that much, due to the complicated relationship, being that Clicks' conditional healing teas aren't pure healing magic like Spamton's F1 spell, but in order, it would be Sponsor the most, Banner and Clicks about the same, and then Survey in last.

Sponsor definitely will be elaborated on later, as they've still been rather silent about their perspective on spamton, despite being the one that's more accepting of Neo. It's not a lot of healing by any chance, but it's healing nonetheless. A familiar taste that they tried a long time ago but they'd like to have again, properly this time. Maybe with a 40 Hp boost

Banner and Clicks are healed about the same, and while clicks finds the tea bitter with a bad processed flavor, both are healed the same cuz they're at that same stage of still being wary around spamton, with clicks less so after Ch15. Banner finds the flavor unfamiliar, but not all bad, still not one he'd go to for a first pick. 30 Hp boost

Survey is barely healed, and doesn't like the flavor, but wants to, like it's a flavor of something they used to like a lot but has fallen off in recent years. It gives off the same vibe of a recipe that they've known very well that's changed, and it's distinctly wrong now. Maybe changing the recipe manually would fix it? Or would it ruin the entire thing? Who knows. 5-10 Hp

None of the addisons really hate spamton, so the hp-draining effects of Spamton tea is unique to himself, but the Hp can fluctuate with strengthening friendships :)! like post Ch15, the tea would taste better to Clicks, not significantly, but enough to make a difference from first impressions.

#still that stuff is nasty #0/10 would not recommend #probably tastes like cough medicine and grime #reeking of pure bad luck and the scent of narrative doom #poor guy #asks #fanfic #ty for ur curiosity! :D i never expected to elaborate #mainly keeping the thoughts and headcanons to myself or make another one-off comment from one of them in the future alluding to it #Survey definitely blamed Clicks at first for making it intentionally taste bad but then again it's not his fault #since then he's tried to remake it to see if something went wrong but it just ends up being as awful as usual :') #i'm indecisive on a headcanon for the addisons' full HP #maybe it's 600 like spamton's but then again they haven't been fighting and building that like he has #so id say they're around 120 hp- similar to a popup because both darkner types are ads

Another example of a TIM trying to take attention away from a woman in his family.

Anyone else read stories like this and think of TRANS bingo?

I guess "Annouces transition when a woman in the family is going through a major life event" is too many words for one square.

#Reddit #Aita #NTA for the fake name AH for not calling him out on his crap #Can anyone think of another group where people can be trying to excuse this crap with “they need resistance” to fight for their identity? #No they just need attention tonight #narcissists can't stand it when attention is on someone else #He was going to ignore the new mom and baby anyway because they were getting attention #Convenient timing to get out of helping out with a baby isn't it? #Baby names sites have free access to their contents #Nothing stopping him from spending some time to find the perfect name he could find a connection to #More expecting parents should use fake names before the kid is born
