I know I'm not interested in romance, and I know I will never love someone like that, but I'm desperate for the closeness and intimacy that being with someone is like. My family is incredibly toxic, so I don't have a good support system. My brother found one in our dad's new family, and my sister found one in her husband's family, but I'm worried that I will be alone forever because I don't want a typical romance. I'm terrified that I will need relationships so badly I'll go back to my toxic mother. I don't know where to meet people like me because I live in fucking South Dakota. I'm trapped and alone. I need help

One of the best things about Stranger things is the the breaking the circle of abuse motive and I really need to talk about it. Like, this show really said; here are five 17-20 years olds, all 5 of them had a shitty life (Steve - child neglet, Robin - gay in the 80s + implied bad relactionship with a parent, Jonathan - abusive father, Eddie - father in prison (I think), Nancy - child of a loveless marriege), it was hard for all of them, and yet all 5 of them said "No, I'm going to do better, I'm going to take care of those kids, whose lifes also sucks, I'm going to make sure they are safe and sound and happy, and that they have better life than me." And I don't know, I just think that really sweet

So I've noticed that the Bat fandom is split between those who ship the Batboys with each other, and those who very adamantly don't. Like, to an aggressive degree. It's honestly pretty hilarious.
I, myself, am a connoisseur of both. I can appreciate quality content of the Batboys being either brotp or otp, sometimes even both at the same time, it honestly doesn't matter. But some of you guys have obviously never had an adopted sibling/relative and it shows. Like, it really fucking shows, oh my god.
I keep seeing this really upsetting thing where people keep justifying their ship by literally saying that it's cool and totally not weird because the boys "aren't really related" and that they "aren't real brothers"?? Like, what the actual fuck guys?? Do you honestly not understand how absolutely disgusting and horrible that is to say?? You're literally saying that being legally adopted doesn't make you family. That shit is so not it. Ship who you want to ship, it's honestly nobody's business, but don't invalidate their relationship like that. Don't invalidate adopted sibling relationships in general like that. Adopted siblings are real siblings.

I missed it by two days bc I’ve been busy with stuff but it’s still of vital importance!!
Yes it has officially been a year since the release of Black Widow (World premiere)
A year since we were introduced to the best dynamic duo the mcu would ever offer us and then rip it right out from under us
A year since this quirky, beautiful, badass, sarcastic, rogue, hilarious, snarky, child-like, teasing, vest wearing, pocket obsessing, mac and cheese loving menace to society came into our lives
And I’ve never been the same since…
I will defend this movie, these characters, and this duo til my dying breath.
Happy 1 year anniversary “Black Widow” 💖💖💖
You can come back to us now, Natasha 🥺

Black Hole- the first big bad. alien from space who's just trying to get some extra credit so they don't fail their AP Planet Domination Class
Miss Recluse- One of Black Hole's three sidekicks. Full tilt diva
The Magician- Black Hole's second sidekick. Besties with Miss Recluse.
Mr. Cyanide- Black Hole's third sidekick that becomes a bigger threat villain. Mad scientist with a deadly knack for chemistry.
The Snow Queen- Big bad in the last three books. Mainly uses her ice to control tech and people. Only an urban myth until the last two books.
Boss Lady- Mafia boss who's working for/with the Snow Queen. Big stronk woman with the muscles of a strongman
Blood Debt- Mainly a loner vigilante anti-hero that kills people who have done wrong. Does jobs for the Snow Queen. The Grim Reaper if he were in a biker gang.
Nightmare- small time villain that doesn't actually hurt anyone. Her powers can put people to sleep and she's a really smart engineer. More of an anti-hero side character if you squint
Plot
A bunch of rookie teenage superheroes and their journey to becoming family, protectors of the city, and eventually defenders of the world over the course of five years and five books- following their adventures in crime-fighting, chore rotations, grocery shopping, fighting and protecting each other like siblings, and saving the world.
Extra Stuff
Been working on this one for a while, but I didn't want to introduce it until i figured out an official name. The title might change later but I wouldn't mind if it stuck. I have a feeling Nickelle and Kylee are going to become my favorites
~~~
Tagging a couple of people and my mutuals that I hope will be interested or at least help get it to others:

Fun Ways to Meet Characters
Thieves stealing important objects from the main characters and then being forced somehow into a found family situation
Saving a character’s life by doing something like taking an arrow/bullet
By losing a bet with a stranger and then teaming up
Gambling with a shifty character and getting really mad at them, only for them to later end up saving the other character’s life
Meeting the other in an arranged marriage and actually liking them (or really, really hating them)
Or having a chaotic dynamic where they irritate each other but they’re equally chaotic, so they become the mischievous duo in the found family
By bickering over the last piece of food at a banquet
Getting hired as a servant or maid, or some other serving position
By accidentally almost killing a character, only for them to join the found family and literally never stop bringing up that first meeting
