#i grew up in a 'city'

[beelzzzebub]

also can i just say that cities are very not as nice as i remember thinking they were

#i grew up in a 'city' #which meant it was relatively bigish especailly in comparison to the surrounding farm towns #pretty average #now i go to school in an actual City #and rn i'm visiting a City City #and i was walking around and i just so miss greenery #trees and grass #and seeing the sky going on and on #i used to say i wanted to grow up and move to a Big City #but now i think i just wanted to go someplace more open and with a different atmosphere #the City is so loud #and there are so many smells #and strange feeling puddles #definitely an unsafe feeling in terms of my ocd and also just so Much #it's just so #ohdfiaushdf #idk #you know #i wish i was like a cool city person but i just don't think i have it in me honestly #boink

...God Help Me.

#that's 20% of the population of Wyoming #the size of the city I grew up in #the same number of humans as ants in the average lawn ant colony #The world Humpback Whale population #25% more people than attended the largest Tswift concert ever #I love you all but I am very confused

anyways it is important that steph grew up in the suburbs. it is important to her story as an outsider of not just the batfam but gotham city itself. her relative isolation in the suburbs means something.

similarly, tim's childhood spent in flux & boarding schools, but his home base being gotham city itself (through his parents' various apartments throughout the city) is also important to his story. gotham city is the epicenter of security for him. he may have to leave sometimes, but it is the place where he returns home, where he has any semblance of 'this is home' (until they move out to bristol ofc, and that becomes home). he grew up in the city, many different parts of it. that's important!!

#anytime i read something that says steph grew up in the city and tim in the suburbs- #jack's reluctance to move out of the bustle of the city out to the outskirts in bristol my beloved #batman 480 & batman 481 my beloveds #there is also an interesting interconnectedness between bristol & gotham city #that doesn't exist between other suburbs of gotham & gotham also means something 2 me #steph wasn't touched by contagion #she was sent to a shelter also in the suburbs during cataclysm #during no man's land she was firmly outside of gotham the entire time #the circles are circling

I think about this every single day

#who wrote the memo I need to thank them personally #'linked fate' 'tension in the room' 'history between them' all in 3 sentences like calm down we know #'no one truly knows the history between them' oh so they're childhood best friends who grew up in a different city so no one knows them ok #making up my own au in my head based on this #everyone say thank you mayoi

personally i didn't mind the original "childish" g3 outfits; it made them look more like 15 year olds, y'know?

#i know they're fashion dolls but in gen 1 90% of the outfits consisted of miniskirts and 6 in heels #and granted i grew up in a smaller town--maybe its different in the cities or smth #but kids normally only dressed like that to go to parties and stuff. it was a lot more casual going to school #plus its nice having a wider variety of outfits #my only real complaint for the g3 outfits so far is that some of them could use #a bit more black/darker colors to better evoke that classic goth-y mh vibe #and itd make the vivids & pastels pop more #monster high

Rough art, but wanted to show Dr Daria's colour scheme! (From here). Heavily based on her canon colours lol

For context, this is a New Yoke version of Maria who didn't have a version of Shadow at all and survived to adulthood. She's in her late 40s and thinks her relatives (the Chaos Council) are stupid and very much stands against them

#i have more ideas like she grew up on a sky ship called the haven rather than the ark #and thinking about where the other humans are in general... #they exist but not in the city/continent/whatever that the chaos council took over #i want gerald (idk if he'd have the same name) to also have existed #and the council members are all robotniks but like. extended family. cousins and uncles however many times removed etc #possibly mr dr eggman is the most closest related to daria like they're still first cousins. but the others further away. IDK #i'll stop rambling now lmao #sth #sonic #sonic the hedgehog #sonic prime #maria robotnik #sonic prime spoilers #??? maybe. just in case #sonic art #sonic fanart #art #fanart #vixenart

#silent hill #silent hill 2 #silent hill fanart #james sunderland #i think it would be funny if he grew up in the sticks then to the city as a teen when his mum died because they had to get away from it all #but his heart never really left and then the first thing he sees in silent hill reminds him of home #but what do i know #im crazy and i hate this city and i miss home #tag of torture

Jason is 100% like ‘fuck you and fuck all of your spoiled brats, old man’ until he finds out that Stephanie and Duke are both from the Narrows and then he’s like ‘.....fuck you and fuck some of your spoiled brats. old man.’

They form a club. The Street Rats Society. dick is an honorary member.

they complain about the upper class. they bully bruce for not knowing how much a banana costs. they unionize and cause mayhem whenever someone forgets to tip at a coffee shop. every time someone mentions off hand how expensive something is (designer clothes, aged liqueurs, cars, etc) they go ‘it costs HOW much?!?   .... you could buy so many 4for4s from wendys with that,,,’

one time Tim goes, ‘I was middle class once. does that count for anything?’ and duke flies at him with a knife.

#Jason Todd #Duke Thomas #Stephanie Brown #Bruce Wayne #Tim Drake #BatBrats #BatFam #batfamily #the potential in putting these three together #people who grew up with nothing and then tripped and fell into the lap of luxury #*chefs kiss* #duke adapting to private school life after a decade of inner city public school #stephanie bouncing between a mansion in bristol and her moms 600 sq ft apartment #jason struggling to accept bruce as a man who does both so much and not nearly enough #both as a vigilante and a philanthropist #sorry i have a lot of feelings about this #all of them caught between vastly different worlds and finding solace in each other

as i'm workin on my Ancient stuff- i've got to say that it is really interesting and neat (read: nasty) that there's a good chance most of the Ancient population probably didn't actually wear masks. but We think they did cuz the only really solid evidence of what they looked like at all all comes from places of the higher social circles. and those strived for religious... superiority, i guess. brownie points, not actual dedication to the religion for the sake of its teachings but either because it made them look good, put them higher in the social hierarchy or whatever manipulation have you (or the flawed look upon the religion aka "we gotta get out of this cycle no matter what")

all we are left with are the bastards. the simple people and their cultures that were left to weather the Iterators' rains were simply washed away. nobody cared for their way of life- as long as it served the higher circles well and they stayed submissive (enough so that at the end everyone would take a dip in the void), nobody had to give a singular shit

just how much do we not know about the Ancients' *everything* because of this disregard? how much do we think we are right about, when such is true only for the small but privileged piece of the species?

#Spot says stuff #rw #which is why i -goes insane over oc lore again- #VIVA LA REVOLUCIÓN BAYBEEEEEE #this came to me cuz like. sparrows is very much a Bruh girl. shes a yeehaw if you know what i mean. shes kinda stumpy cuz she grew up in- #-the farms of Euros' facilities n had to haul things around. ancients from the iterator cities? or the ones on the murals? very much dont- #-look like that nah. theyre like twigs without any muscle to hold their bellies in some kinda form so they look like That. the masks- #-themselves originally became a thing for religious reasons. what reason would a farm girl have to wear a mask while workin in the fields? #yanno? it sounds mostly impractical. n down there they prolly werent such religious nutcases like the ''Higher Ones'' #sparrows' granda would have some choice words bout her havin a mask now JKVLDSMLKC he constantly complains about Euros cuz like #he remembers what it was like before Euros was turned on- man had an iterator rain free childhood n now he has to deal with This bullshit #''back in M'day we didnt hefta be runnin fro' some rain generated by an overgrown *Toaster*!!! we played in da grass for however long- #-we wished!!! sure aye it was standin there n overshadowin us from time to time but-" ''ya ya we kno granda settle down before u pull smth' #iterators r so fucking terrifying

WILLIAM NYLANDER ✧ 240108 It's nice that it's done and you know, uh, I'm gonna stay for the next eight years. So that's a, that's a very special feeling. I mean, this has been home for me. This is the longest I've stayed in one place in my entire life.

#william nylander #toronto maple leafs #maple leafs #leafs #nhl #hockey #meg.gif #meg.leafs #meg.all #loveliest boy. honestly speaking i can't even address the whole. #oh he grew up as a little nomad playing in locker rooms across the league... #let all those cities shape him bit by bit. #grew up. grew roots in the city that drafted him. decided he wasn't going to transplant himself somewhere else. #the little smile when he says he's going to stay for the next eight years. he wants to play in one jersey for his entire career. #something something sons and fathers that i'm not going to examine TOO too closely at this moment.

Michael Gira was living below the poverty line and working in a grueling factory job at the time he formed Swans. Power and greed and the ways both dictate the notion of freedom and pleasure found in those being oppressed were fresh in his mind. The harsh sounds in factories that littered NYC 40+ years ago were replicated in Swans' music.

Another tidbit: Michael Gira spent time in an Israeli prison as a teenager and the songs on Cop likely reflect the brutality he and others experienced while incarcerated.

#i grew up poor and inner city and all of these themes instantly resinated with me when I discovered swans

#pmatga #pacman and the ghostly adventures #pacster #cylindria #pmatga fanart #art #my art #pmatga comic #Here I am with another ramble on the show and its ✨missed opportunities✨ #Cyli grew up surrounded by nature (from what was alluded to at least) since she grew up in a treehouse #and I'm choosing to believe that her family's treehouse was actually not the stereotypical wooden box held together by branches and screws #but an actual livable house that's big enough for a family of four that just happens to be built into a big tree #anyway so Cyli clearly cares for nature and has a sentimental attachment to it #and going to Maze High in the city meant that she's been far away from home for the longest time ever #You can't tell me she won't get homesick from time to time #She WAS shown to feel a bit embarrassed about growing up in a treehouse though #so perhaps she hides it well and just pretends to not care over it #but deep down she misses that treehouse dearly #So missed opportunity from the show to explore her background in a bit more depth like WHY she cares so much about nature #because to her #nature is her home
