#he knew something was going to go down

[pokeberry5]

girl experiences gender euphoria and is immediately slammed by grief

for @litttlittt <3. this was supposed to be a portrait of caroline hill, but litta mentioned tim looking like janet when dressed as caroline and identity issues and angst and things spiraled

something about tim not knowing if he's his mother's child or bruce's or neither's.

figuring out the looks:

i wanted janet to have that poofy 70s hair

#tim drake #dc #bruce wayne #janet drake #sart #i'm picturing this as transfemme tim hence “he” and also compounding issues about bruce treating him as a daughter #which is exactly the gender validation tim wants and needs but isnt sure he deserves #but this also definitely works for trans tim #she gets to process that she looks like her mom!! and her mom will never get to know her daughter #would she have wanted to know her daughter? even though she showered tim with love when she was around #she barely knew her son #gender idk he's a girl 👍 hope that helps #i went down a rabbit hole looking up vintage dior necklaces -- hopefully something martha wayne wouldve worn #-- but dior necklaces are COMPLICATED #i almost drew pearls but i think that wouldve been too cruel to bruce lol #(a decent amount of my art--even when it's not femme tim--gets tagged 'gender' and i dont know what im going but im glad 👍)

Nico saying that Lewis gives his daughters boxes of presents every Christmas just got caught in my mind.

Imagine you were a mixed race boy born in Hertfordshire, different from everyone else around you. Bullied in school, being raised by your father to compete in a sport where money is very much of essence and you and your family do not have a lot of it. And then you meet this other boy who comes from the kind of life you dream to live one day. You're friends and fierce competitors. You find solace in each other. You visit Monaco for the first time with your friend, dreaming up the life you will have when you make it, when you beat out of the mould that the world thought it could capture you in.

And then you two grow through the ranks and you're at the pinnacle of your sport and you have what it takes to win and the world recognises that you can win. And you win. You win with your friend and fiercest competitor by your side fighting with you for those wins, and this fighting ruins something something that was valuable to both of you when you were still innocent and unsullied by life.

But despite everything that went into the doing and undoing of this relationship, you still realise that this person you once called a friend has a life and family beyond your bitter dynamic. He has children, and children need love and affection and good memories. And you're a better man now so you understand that. So you make sure the kids get gifts on Christmas. And you make sure of it every year. Afterall, if you met someone you loved deeply when you were both kids, wouldn't you feel a pang of nostalgia when they had kids. Wouldn't you try to extend the warmth that you couldn't find for your friend to his children. Afterall, whatever happens during childhood basically remains with you forever.

#and nico's perspective of the same is just #being bullied as a child and being profoundly lonely till you find this friend who is in many ways the yardstick for performance #and even when you go through all this rancidity and the love has almost evaporated down to bare bones politeness #you know there is something that remains deep down #and so he gets your kids Christmas gifts each year #both their childhoods were sites of pain and both of them found something with each other #and lewis honours that by being a positive presence in nico's childrens' lives #albeit from a distance #and of course we're no strangers to how much Nico loves his kids #you can bet if Lewis had kids Nico would do that same #sorry this caught in my heart a little #I knew he had been giving presents for a while and I always thought of that as very beautiful but seeing it on the tl made me remember #man #love haunts you in such peculiar ways forever #brocedes #lewis hamiton #nico rosberg #f1 #formula 1

no i am not over how one of the first things kris does of their own accord without our input is to lay down their life for this weird ipad kid they met five hours ago no i am not over "hell yeah i am here to humiliate you fucker" no i am not over "did you miss me? because i missed you!" no i am not over how much not only susie but also kris (and ralsei) genuinely care about their new adopted little cousin guy and the fact that he went from having no friends at all to 3 ride or die bffs who were willing to do what every adult in his life failed to do which is stand up for him i-

#im gonna fucking throw up lancer's relationship with all of the fun gang is literally so important to me #hes gone his whole life surrounded by people but so incredibly alone for a multitude of reasons NONE of which are his fault #every grown ass adult in that castle knew he was suffering but did NOTHING about it #so to see these teenagers (OTHER KIDS) not only take him under their wing and include him whenever possible #but also stand up and say 'NO. no you will NOT get away with that' when his shithead dad abuses him #going so far as to put their own asses on the line for him because they fucking care #and lancer loves them back!!! hes saved the fun gang's asses twice in as many chapters #the first instance being when he did something he's NEVER done before and took up hands against his dad #the affection in his dialogue when he talks about kris and susie and ralsei #calls them all funny nicknames and says that he misses them... #shaking and crying and throwing up and falling down thr stairs and astral projecting #im so so os so so normal about these characters i promise #deltarune

i think bout this panel alot and how chilchuck was the only one not surprised overall, in fact, exasperated. did laios show him his 'super cool original monster do not steal™' before? just how much has laios told chilchuck bout his history and interests and vice verse.

laios never shows any particular surprise bout the information (besides the age thing and even then was tactful) we find out bout chilchuck later on too. and while the half-foot claims the party "keeps personal history private" there must be more going on here if laios of all people is allowed to call chilchuck 'chil', y'know?

#something homosexual is going on here #i also think bout how chil was the first to peg laios for his monster eating enthusiasm #he knew and was waiting for the shoe to drop #i think bout how chilchuck asking laios to call him 'chil' might have gone down and how laios might be the first person outside his family #to be allowed to call him his first name #i need to write my whole thoughts bout these two one day and how they infected my brain like that parasite infected laios

My issue with Thor not ‘realizing’ why Loki was acting off in Avengers 1 isn’t that Thor didn’t recognise Loki was acting unlike himself—Thor did note that—or that Thor didn’t figure out what was wrong—he did try asking—it’s more along the lines of Thor giving up, and that he accepted Loki was bad now within two days while knowing something was off when Thor himself behaved just as bad for much longer before without any specific compromising event.

#Thor was happy go kill for so long and Loki waited for Thor to get better and then Thor KNOWS something is up #and he still accepts Loki is evil now and never questions or visits Loki in prison again #he moped around about it because of duty and depression but that he had such little faith in Loki #like either his little brother really did go mad out of jealousy and rage AND is permanently like that with no resolution between them #it’s ridiculous #I like the Thor in my head who never believed Loki had actually gone mad and went after the infinity stones bc he suspected #the one that would not only trust Loki to get them off Asgard in TDW but knew Loki had the throne after and let it be that way #bc he knows his brother and wouldn’t stop believing Loki can ‘get better’ even if he’d truly gone mad #like I get that Thor in Avengers 1 would have been conflicted and could’ve taken everything at face value #Loki was DEAD and now he’s not of course Thor isn’t going to be thinking straight #it’s easy to look at Loki and assume he spent a year plotting revenge after faking his death #but Thor had time after to cool down and only gave Loki a chance in TDW when there was no other option #like did he genuinely think Loki will try to kill him #is Thor scared of Loki now or what #Thor’s spending so much time thinking of what he’s lost that he develops depression but doesn’t ever voice or support the idea that maybe #Loki was forced to do the invasion #AFTER he asks ‘who controls the would-be king’ like come on Thor just ask a follow-up question #Thor autistic king distracted by ‘YOUR father’ discourse fr #T-T #I simply don’t think Thor would have given up on Loki even if Loki stabbed him sorry #it wouldn’t even be bc he’s naive it’d be because he knows and loves his brother #and he’d keep hoping for a change of heart #he wouldn’t ditch the issue unless it was to go under the radar and that’s never explicitly implied #unfortunately #:(

Just been talking to this npc and he was like 'oh hey!! Nice of them to send out a guy so soon after I sent my letter!' and when link did his little talking hand gestures my full expectation was the next words to be 'omg the hero?? Zeldas knight?? The champion of hyrule? You guys were missing it was all over the kingdom!!'

Npc: oh, so you're just some guy? Man, I thought they would have sent someone out by now, I've been waiting ages...

A) no you haven't

B) Link, WHAT????

Asdfghjkl??? NO WONDER he's been Tony Hawked he's not even introducing himself with his name??!

Actually... Given what other people have been calling him, I think he's been introducing himself as 'just a wandering swordsman'.

LINK THAT WAS YOUR FAULT THE WHOLE TIME???

#Lmaoooo #That explains so much #Josha especially that's so funny. Like she knew link on sight and does know his name but always calls him swordsman. #Bet that's how he introduced himself when they first met and then zelda appeared XD so now he always gets the nickname #I like that link chose to do that himself and it's not just everyone failing to recognise him. Like he doesn't want the fame and fawning #He's happy as is. Can't tell me he doesn't have a sense of humour tho with the amount of people who talk about the hero to his face. #Met a guy just after who told link he was on a trip to 'something forest' where he was going to get the master sword because he was the her #No idea where he got his information I'm assuming he thinks link kicked it when he went missing and that the title gets handed down?? #Link was just 'mhm uhuh' the whole time completely blank faced it was GREAT. #Similarly fi has the funniest mythos in bottok. We've had the master torch and gourd and several people who didn't recognise it and #A handful of people who claim THEY'RE the legendary hero. Hysterical. I hope they're all having fun wherever they are XD. #loz #loz totk #tears of the kingdom #totk #botw #loz link #breath of the wild #loz botw #botw totk #link legend of zelda #botw link #totk link #Can't believe we were all laughing about the Tony hawk fame and the whole time he was doing that on purpose #Makes the yiga even funnier that they all recognise him ON SIGHT. Sorry man you're clean out of luck there XD

2021 Shadowlands fanart.

#world of warcraft #anduin wrynn #Garrosh follows this with something like 'yeah your not but maybe i am' so i sorta take the quote out of context but #I remember Anduin being very upset about the mere idea hes compaired to Arthas #Its always seemed to me that his similarities with arthas are something that lowkey bothers him because so many only see that in him #Of course people hurt by Arthas will be a bit weary of a human boy with blonde hair who claims to champion the light and justice #Especially one who is a prince of an important human kingdom #So its something hes self-conscious of and is keen to prove people he's not destine to fail #Which is why #even if he didn't become another Arthas entirely #what happens in SLs is so much more traumatic to him #He hurt people he cared about #he hurt innocent souls #((and his situation of mind control is more akin to sylvanas' then arthas but does he see that that way? Or do his fears blind his view?)) #And blizz didnt go into detail what this meant but Arthas was used against him literally #My headcanon is that Anduin knew and could feel it and hear arthas in the sword #but in the cinematic anduin is surprised by arthas' soul appearing so canon says anduin didnt know #He dissappers because he is unsure if the bad feelings he felt orignated from him or zovaal or arthas so #prehaps he is afraid that everyone was right to be weary of him #Maybe he didnt end up as arthas at the end of shadowlands but that doesnt mean he can't still go down a dark path #he is afraid he is more capable of becoming an unjust and cruel leader then he thought he could #His people have every right to be upset that he abandoned them #but they dont know that he left because he was afraid he could hurt them and feel joy from it

i mean while we’re on the topic of vampy jake… might as well share these yk.

peak vampire jake.

I- um... lord save me now... 🫠🫠

#i woul like to start with... #those pictures will literally kill me every time i see them #like the hair #the blue eye contacts?? #the lip ring?? #the outfit?!?! #like HELLO #but also #like this give vampy prince vibes #vampy prince jake dying to have something of his own #bc his brothers tend to hog everything #then he runs into you in the woods during a midnight scroll #and his instantly captivated by not only your beauty #but your smell #you smell so sweet and addicting that he knew he had to have you to himself #ofc when he brings you back his brothers instantly want a piece #but he gets possesive and keeps you close to him #though the ego boost hed get when you tell him that hes the only one you want... #he instanly start attacking you in heated kisses becoming quite literally addicted #and boy once you let him get a taste of your blood you arent gonna be going anywhere #not that youd want to anyways #and I need it writen out or i'll die #thewayivebeenitchingtowriteavampyenhafictoo #you've got me goin down a rabbit hole #alvojake answers #kay talks ☕ #my mooties 🫶 #✮stella

I want to tell you this story without having to be in it.

#grainy b/w sikenposting returns. #i want to tell you this story without having to say that i ran out into the street / to prove something‚ that he chased after me / #and threw me into the gravel. / and he knew it wasn't going to be okay‚ and he told me / it wasn't going to be okay. / #and he wouldn't kiss me‚ but he covered my body with his body / #and held me down until i promised not to run back out into the street again. / but the minutes don't stop. the prayer of going nowhere. / #going nowhere. #doctor x master #dw

I got a new laptop.

#tss patton #tss virgil #moxiety #so to run down the idea because it burns a hole in my head #Virgil and Patton start dating at like 20 and it's perfect except for one thing #They want completely different futures and long term they couldn't work out #Patton wants a picket fence and kids and a marriage #Virgil isn't mentally here for any of that nor is it something he wants it's stressful and not for him #He wants that one bedroom apartment with a cat and a man who isn't legally attached lifestyle #From the beginning they knew it's a matter of time before they break each other's hearts but two years come and go #they're scared because fuck they fell so deeply in love with who they are #years later Patton moves on gets married to another and lives quietly #But the minute the second he gets to see Virgil again he falls apart because he can't love his husband- not like that #And blah blah High Infidelity Ivy I'd Have to Think About It Becoming the Lastnames Cleopatra Presumably Dead Arm #None of this is shown in the image just the idea that they know their end is coming #hi guys

when your parents make a big deal out of visiting for the weekend for your birthday and you know it's not actually going to happen and then still get disappointed when it doesn't happen :/

#they said they might try to come down tomorrow but that's not going to happen either #and like i know my disappointment is compounded by some other stuff #like how a while back my friend was saying he and his girlfriend had talked about wanting to do something for my birthday this year #that obviously didn't happen (and i knew it wouldn't because he's always flaky) and they ended up doing the usual couples valentine's date #also friday was the day that people leaving our program find out where they'll be placed for the next year #so all of those people are doing stuff to celebrate that this weekend #pretty much everyone i'm even remotely close with this year is leaving and i'm staying another year #and i'm just so fucking lonely

Sometimes I feel like people will read one (1) story and base all their perceptions of a unit/character off of that which. Just doesn't really work imo, ESPECIALLY in the Reminisce stories.

Of course you won't like Shu if you only read Marionette. Of course you won't like Keito if you only read Meteor Impact. Of course you won't like Eichi if you only read Three Magicians (or literally any other reminisce story). Because they all play an antagonistic role.

You're seeing the absolute worst parts of them, their lowest points, when they're at their most desperate and ruthless. And that can be a good thing!!! I would not have the same understanding of any of these characters if I had NOT read those stories, and I'm grateful that I can fully know them better now! But I feel like sometimes, people run with it way too far, and refuse to acknowledge any change from them, even when all three of these examples have apologized and genuinely attempted to better themselves.

That's definitely not to say you have to read all the stories for a unit/character before forming any opinion on them (I freely admit that I could tell you almost nothing about Eden or current fine's development). However, be aware that your opinion may be influenced by certain stories, and that it is very likely you are missing some context for why a certain character acts the way they do.

Therefore, please stay open-minded, or at the very least, honest and polite!

#shu keito and eichi may have all been assholes at one point or another #but they did it out of love #does that make it justified? hell no! and they admit that! #but shu treated nazuna and mika as dolls because the only way he knew love was to force someone to achieve their greatest potential #keito yelled at and kicked out souma because souma was going in too deep and he didn't want him stained by akatsukis war actions #eichi started the war out of his love for the idol industry with the full intent of eventually being overthrown by people like trickstar #and he keeps tsumugi hiyori and others at a distance because he knows how terribly he hurt them and sees it as taking responsibility #yeah i just. i really love all these characters and don't like them getting slandered for things people don't fully understand #that's not to say i won't slander them because kaoru hakaze is never living down the souma scene in crossroads as long as i live lmao #but genuine bad-faith hate is something im very uncomfortable with and i wish people would realize that they may be missing the big picture #enstars #ensemble stars #ensemble stars music #fandom culture #enstars units #meteor impact #ryusei bonfire #reminisce marionette #enstars three magicians #enstars stories #enstars story #shu itsuki #keito hasumi #eichi tenshouin #enstars war era #enstars war #raelyn rambles

Today on "Another JeanMarco Soulmate AU absolutely no one asked for" I present to you -

Soulmate AU in which you stop seeing colors when your soulmate dies, the only exception being your soulmate. Now cue to Jean who just found Marco's, his best friend's, body. And you know, there's the shock of finding out Marco's dead. The pain and confusion and guilt. But there's also the revelation, because despite everything he can still see Marco like nothing took place at all- yes, half of his face is missing and his body is straight up lifeless, but Jean can still make out the color of his eye ; see that light shade of brown perfectly, remember all the times he has found himself looking at them while listening to Marco talk. He can still make out the colors of his uniform, see the same shade of black his hair has always had, practically see. Despite being dead, Marco was the only piece of color left in his life.

And there's denial for a moment because there's no way Marco was his soulmate. But that goes away fast, getting replaced by guilt. By the fact that he hasn't been there to save him, that Marco has to die all alone without anyone being there for him.

And that was worse than the simple fact that he could no longer see colors ; because Marco was there when Jean needed him, but he failed to do the same. And not only he lost his best friend that day, but his other half too.

#Anyway this fucker doesn't tell anyone about the whole soulmate thing. Not of shame of anything but because he's mourning man and also is no #One's business. Anyway the first one to find out is Armin because he notices and ever since he makes sure to mention colors as often as he #can. Like 'These flowers are a nice shade of red' or 'Green suits you well Jean! You should wear this shirt' stuff like that #Jean does appreciates it once he gets over his ego and pain and lets other people get closer to him #Funny enough Jean is the only one in that situation loool. Well I don't know about Reiner and Historia is getting there soon enough but #everyone else??? Colors everywhere man #Is both funny and sad #'Since when..?' Jean expected that question yet he wasn't truly ready to answer it. Deep down he knew he was never going to be ready for it #'Trost' his voice stains sightly while naming the city. His own city. The place he grew up in all his life. The others say nothing else #after that confession. They were all aware many has died during Trost. It wasn't that far fetched for Jean's soulmate to be some civilian #lost during the evacuations or something. But then Connie's eyes widen ever so sightly the realization sitting in. He doesn't even register #when he says 'It was Marco right?' and regrets it immediately. Jean's painful face is all the answer they needed #Also Historia ready the letter and the world losing colors while she's doing that??? Her tearing up a little but not letting herself cry #until she gets alone???? Her going to Jean once that happens and them comforting each other????? #They starts seeing colors again once Eren dies. Poor Jean is trying his best to not have a breakdown because Connie needed him more in that #moment #Reading* wtf my tags make no sens sorry guys I'm lowkey tired #aot #jean kirstein #jeanmarco #aot jean #marco bodt #marco bott #aot marco #jean kirschstein #snk #JeanMarco Soulmate AU #soulmates au #I'm not sad you are
