#hi this took a hot second

[lailuhhh]

16. "God, I'm so sorry, it'll be over soon, I promise."

It wasn’t the first time they’d been in that situation, but god did Jack hope it was going to be the last.

He wouldn’t be able to get that day out of his head for a long time. He wouldn’t be able to get Mac screaming out of his head for a long time.

Mac had been flung cross Jack’s back in a fireman’s carry, paling at every rough step Jack had to make through the forest, away from still pursuing captors.

Muffled screams through a makeshift gag made Jack sick, but they needed to be quiet, and there was no way Mac was going to be able to do that with two bullets in his leg, one most likely touching bone.

“God, I'm so sorry, Mac." Jack could only apologize for how rough he was. He couldn’t afford to go slow at any cost. “Almost there.”

Mac had no energy, and could only let out whimpers from under the gag.

Jack wanted to stop, to sit and comfort him, to do anything to make everything stop. But until then, Jack would run, to the ends of the earth, if it meant keeping Mac safe.

“It'll be over soon, bud, I promise.”

hehehehehehhhhoooooo, tried my hand at making a doc design a couple days ago,,,,, i like it a lot!

#my art #hermitcraft #docm77 #docm77 fanart #the arm was a PAIN and it took me a hot second to make it good dkdmdkmdks #also i forgot to color in a little bit of the metal on his face but it's fine (<- i am gritting my teeth & clenching my fist as i say this) #was tempted to give him hooves instead of paws but like. #i did not wanna figure out how to draw crocs on hooves. it was already difficult adding them to paws #the crocs are mandatory btw. it would be a war crime for me not to add them. a disgrace to the council. #i would be shot on the spot. #also doc has whiskers. as a treat. #i don't know why i gave him whiskers it just kinda happened

[astyr-art]

i have had. this stupid idea. stuck in my head. for SO long

i love arven sm and yet this was my first time drawing him lmao

i will admit i got lazy abt backgrounds/colouring/whatever but in my defense by the time i finished this it was 4 am

#pokemon #pokemon scarlet violet #pokemon sv #arven #pokemon arven #idk how to tag for the pokemon fandom lmao #i posted this to twitter a few days ago and forgot to post it here. where the meme originated. for shame #i am lowkey proud of how arven looks in the second panel tho. took me a hot second to figure out his expression but i GOT THERE #but i DID forget the action lines. hes meant to be like. whipping around to face me. but its whatever lol #in game my trainer has more tired eyes and the :3 mouth so when he makes certain expressions he has just the SMUGGEST lil grin #had to get that across in this lmao

[reineydraws]

op. op pls i devoured your fic rec list. do you have. perchance. more to share. pls. (if you want ofc) jason requires All the hugs. esp when he gets to be Safe in bruce or dick's arms again like they're protecting him even though hes all grown up now and doesn't need protecting but that's his Family and they Love Him op im having emotions (tone lighthearted i just think you have good taste in fics and am wondering if you would want to rec some more? no pressure LOL)

anon, this has to be one of the best compliments ive ever received in my life lmao thank u for saying i have good taste in fics 😂

ive got 10 more recs for ya! i tried to centre it on jason with bruce and/or dick but there are a couple that have an even focus on other siblings too. those will still have the good jason stuff in it tho. 😌😌

also this time not all of them are h/c lol soz some of them are just fluff 🙏 but they do all have good family feels!!! and im pretty sure jason gets hugs in most of them too haha.

anyways, onto some (more) good jason todd family feels gen fic! once again: word count rounded to the nearest thousand, and listed in no particular order.

The Cave by lurkinglurkerwholurks | 4k

jason and dick get stranded on an island and dick is injured so jay goes to explore the island on his own and finds a sketchy cave he goes to explore. shit happens. as a younger sibling myself, i found it pretty accurately captures the complexity and the depth of sibling feelings and relationships (esp dick's older brother-ness) in a situation thats been dialed to 11.

through the valley of the shadow by Goldmonger | 10k

jason gets captured and tortured and inadvisably makes his way out of the building even though he's exacerbating his wounds bc he doesnt want to risk waiting for a father bat that will never come. bruce does get there in time and jay recovers at the manor, to his great annoyance and reluctant warmth.

Ornaments by haunt_the_stars | 2k

it's the holidays & bruce is counting kids (checking in on them) when he finds jason crying by the christmas tree bc bruce buys them all a new ornament every year and jason doesnt have any after his death and it's not fair he missed out on so much of his youth. i cried reading this but it was also cute. (tbf, literally any time jason contemplates the teenage years he missed out on due to his death etc., i cry lol.)

and if only i could make a deal with god by foreverstudent | 21k

one of the ones with a more even focus on everyone. id actually say it's about bruce. feels are good tho, and jason does get a hug. the bat boys get sent back in time and find a bruce that just started being batman standing in front of his parents' graves and wondering if he should stop being batman to find happiness in marriage. the boys unanimously decide to convince bruce to give up the bat so he can be happy, even though it majorly risks their own futures (and in dami's case, his actual life).

Tap Out by coyote_nebula | 8k

jay's at a gala and gets poisoned and as he struggles to breathe (and his family panics), he contemplates all the other times he felt like he was gonna die. focuses heavily on the concept of tapping out as a way to practice boundaries, esp in his relationship w bruce.

You, Me, and the Humanity in Between by JUBE514 | 66k

this is kind of fantasy realism? and this is another fic that focuses more evenly on everyone. bruce keeps finding these kids that arent really human, adopting them and giving them a childhood (and family!) anyways. it's sweet and my favourite thing about it is that the boys all pass around bruce's gotham knights sweater for comfort clothing. also there's a part where john constantine is like "h o w do you keep finding them?!?!" it's good lol. ah and i just love when stories explore what it means to be human.

The 70 Days After Groundhog Day by Ptelea | 44k

this is a dick pov fic that goes through the aftermath of a time loop only jason remembers. it's not often you get to read about the after effects instead of the time loop itself, which i thought was cool, and it goes into the way jason and his relationship to the family has changed bc of this thing only he remembers. focuses most heavily on dick & jay.

Commencement by ivy_and_ivory | 3k

jason invites bruce to his uni graduation :') what i like the most is that jason's not just thinking of how he feels now, he's thinking about how he'll feel in the future. he might still feel weird about bruce now but in the future he thinks he'll have wanted b to be there. it makes me so soft to read about this jason that's looking toward the future again, instead of focusing on his death and his past.

The Bedtime Chronicles by SillySunshine | 5k (series)

the rule is, as long as bruce can pick you up, he can still ground you. 😤 the first fic is robin jason and it's all v fluffy and adorable. the second fic is red hood jason so it's angsty and then hilarious (obvs b can still pick him up) and then fluffy. we love sappy father & son fic in this house!

pantry by envysparkler | 4k

one by one, jason's siblings congregate in his apartment to get away from bruce/seek refuge after a hard day/generally annoy him. jay-centric, tho all the siblings + bruce star pretty equally. fluff & humour! spoiler alert: eventually he escapes to the manor lmao.

#rei replies #jason todd #fic recs #batfamily #it took me a hot second to pick 10 that fit the criteria u mentioned anon lol #jason is now officially my number one most bookmarked character 🥲 #'you me and the humanity in between' has my whole heart lol it's so INTERESTING #dick is this wooden doll that gains sentience after years of being cherished by the grayson family #jay is part of the soul of gotham come alive from the city's stone #tim is a statue that was part of a grave of a boy that died a long time ago. #his parents found the grave and the statue boy on a dig and brought him home as an artefact to be admired from behind a glass case #and dami is completely human. #anyways clark gets kinda freaked out cuz the first three robins dont have heartbeats lol #it's good stuff!!!!!!

[gammija]

iiii dont think im gonna post much amagaday about this arc, because i don't enjoy the interpretation that jon was completely innocent in taking live statements, nor do i think basira or especially melanie were irrationally upset at him, and i know a significant amount of posts at least read as if people vehemently disagree

#look it wasn't completely his fault either but i think tma is fundamentally ABOUT this question of control #over your own actions and participation in perpetuating harm #but it's so juicy that Jon didn't tell anyone. that's a choice he made. was it a fair one? maybe if he'd told them immediately after #the first or even second they wouldn't have reacted as poorly or could've prevented 3 4 and 5 #but its also fair that he was scared to tell them. with how vehemently Basira was fighting monsters. dealing in intel. not people #but he did do it. #he didnt say 'help Basira hold me back! I'm being taken over by the Eye to take Floyd's here statement!' #also i cannot believe it took me seeing that fanart i reblogged to consciously consider the lens of #3 women confronting their friend/coworker/fellow hostage about a complaint from a woman that he harassed her #not that thats the only lens it can or even should be viewed through but #just felt like. oh. duh #also why I've been kinda dreading s5. since thats the one i was actively in the fandom i also actively remember #The Discourse #[dun dun duuun] #funniest post was the one that called tma fake queer representation a full 10 episodes after jon had said 'i love you' to martin #joos yaps #(and also finally... hot jon rights) #(i have a lot of thoughts but i dont want to get too worked up and portray things unfairly so this is all yallre getting today)

[extremelyputridfishbreath]

honestly unpopular cpi opinion but really other than the frustrating writing of rookie watching herbert leave with the hot sauce and rory's writing specifically during cadence's adventures, i don't think it's adaptations of the main cast is that egregious (and even then ike i said it's just frustrating, and i don't really think it' ruins cpi!rookie as a character). like i'm not gonna lie, i feel like people would've hated cpi MORE if it didn't have anyone from the original game at all and they all got replaced. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ like did we forget how merry walrus and his party were widely hated because even though he's literally walrus santa and his party is just a blue and white holiday party instead of a red and green one it's not EXACTLY the same players hated the change and he went missing. where is merry, whereee

and honestly even if they did replace gary with a suspiciously similar cpi counterpart named gerry the gizmo guru i guarantee people would've been just as angry, if not more they got replaced with similar characters and would've been like "man, these new characters suck. it should've been AUNT arctic greeting us, not UNCLE arctic!" i've been in the technicolor horse fandom for too long to know how well people react to new casts based off the originals... but what do i know. * sighs wistfully and walks directly into lake *

#although rory should've kept his weird sayings. it would've been funny #AND DOT DESERVED A BETTER DESIGN THAN HER AS3/CPI DESIGN- #seriously its annoying how her concept art had so many good designs but they just took her as3/'civilian' design and slimmed her down #also my second hot take is that even though they admittedly look awkward i don't mind that they tried to vary body types #rookie should've been fat though. this man would never be a twink dont lie

adulthood is just visiting ur friends, saying "damn bitch, you live like this?" (affectionate) and aggressively helping them clean up while they politely tell you that you don't have to do that. and then having friends do that to you when they visit your apartment.

#eliot posts #one of my friends often does not make his bed and sleeps on a bare-ass mattress so i INSIST on at least putting a fitted sheet on #(and then normally just fully make the bed too bc might as well) #i tell him to ''stop rawdogging the mattress''/''put some protection on that nasty thang'' #bc i of course must use the most cursed language available #it only takes like 5 minutes to do and is very worth it #and then i have this second friend who takes this to a whole nother level #he does my dishes every time he visits and lemme tell you. the dish situation around here gets DIRE. #he did like 4 sinkfulls when he was here last #and motivated me to clean the rest of the kitchen while he did that #it took like an hour and we ran out of hot water #but WAY faster than if i had tried to handle that shit alone #and we had fun and jammed to 80s music #another person i'm only loose friends with but i helped her clean a ton of trash from her dorm last time i visited #bc she was on the tail end of a depressive episode and i KNOW how that is #this only works w certain kinds of cleaning tho. you can't tidy up/organize other ppl's shit‚ for example #bc you don't know where anything is supposed to go and you'll likely make things more difficult in the end #amd it just requires you to handle all their personal belongings and open their drawers and shit #and there's a 90% chance that'll make them uncomfortable and like you're violating their space #but shit like dishes is generally very much fair game and won't make them uncomfortable #tho sometimes you gotta ask if there's a specific way they like their dishes washed bc some ppl are picky abt that #ANYWAY #is it obvious my love language* is acts of service? #*(tho the 5 love languages thing is a VAST over-simplification and things are not actually clear cut like that)

i really didnt like sunny when I first started watching and it took until season 3-4ish to warm up to it and I fell in love during season 5. ive just remembered why.

I didnt like how terrible the writing was for minor female characters. everything from the way they were written to the way they were directed just felt weird. and it went beyond the way the other characters saw them.

and the second thing was that the frequency with which dennis took off his shirt irrationally irritated me. it gave me jeff winger flashbacks. thankfully ive now seen the light.

#I was going to put a placating tag for the community fans but fuck that I hate jeff winger #I cant form any coherent points about the way they portray women #but it just feels off in the early series #idk they get better at it #imagine me seething everytime dennis took his shirt off #this is funny to me know because youve all posted him shirtless so much that im desensitised now #*now #btw my hatred of those scenes was nothing to do with how he looks #I just get vicerally uncomfortable very easily #the reason I hate the gang hits the slopes so much is because of that extended sex scene with charlie #something about men trying to be sexy gives me second hand embarrassment #that sounds mean im not being mean #i mean any man! even hot ones! #iasip #rereading this a couple months later and i have no clue what i was on about in the tags #replace the word men with people

(I wouldn't exactly say there's any major TF Earthspark spoilers in here, but just in case I would avoid this if you want to be sure that you stay spoiler-free. It's really late and my brain doesn't know how to tag spoilers properly lol)

------------------

I've finally watched TF Earthspark, (thanks to someone in my comments) and there's just...so much I could gush about.

Like sure, some of the stuff feels a little out of place sometimes but like...I find a lot of it endearing and not exactly annoying like some other Transformers shows. Some of the ways that they interpreted characters and wrote certain parts of the story is so...ASFDHJSF I LOVE IT

Megatron's accent, Tarantulas' entire interpretation, Nightshade, and even the way that they wrote Bumblebee is so refreshing to me. Not sure why that is exactly, but this show is easily one of my favorites that I've watched

G1 is also super nostalgic to me, so the way that they incorporated that into the show kinda is so cool and interesting and new. Idk, I just really enjoyed the references and general idea that "Hey, Transformers are actually known by the public through the TV show and Comics!" which I found very interesting. Some people might not like that but I sure did when I watched it

I could ramble on so much more but it would take more energy than I currently have to spend

(more rambles in the notes because I couldn't help myself)

#transformers earthspark #easily one of my favorite shows. Easily #I found the darker parts of the show also super interesting and that was refreshing too #the humans aren't as annoying as I expected them to be #which is also nice #I'm rewatching it again because I just want MORE of the show #It's not often that a show leaves me wanting more of it like that but this one did and I respect it a lot for that #I have gotten used to the odd designs now and I quite like them #took me a hot second but I do enjoy them #Also Megatron being a VTOL of sorts? So cool #His character in the show is one of my favorites tbh #I love the interpretation #a lot #like a lot a lot
