This sort of case would have interested our old friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Yes, indeed.

#granada holmes #inspector lestrade #john watson #granadaedit #i like this moment a lot. i like lestrade trying to lighten the conversation after bringing up holmes #bc while he's in a place where he can talk about holmes he eventually notices that watson isn't #or at least just doesn't want to be talking about holmes at this precise moment #and so he makes his silly little remark to make watson smile. and i love him for that #bc you know he doesn’t seriously think he’s good enough that it would be unusual for holmes to get the better of him #he knows what he’s saying is ridiculous and he knows watson knows it too #he even watches for watson's reaction. and i adore that little look they share at the end #and i just really like lestrade as someone who doesn't mind making a small joke at his own expense if it means cheering up a friend #thank you colin jeavons and edward hardwicke 🫶🏽 #lestrade #sh #i also like lestrade talking about holmes at all because of course he does. of course he still thinks about him #they both miss him they’re both remembering him fondly in this moment #mine

[fear-no-mort]

i cant get over the whole time in the real world rick just sat there watching over morty and when he woke up finally rick sounded SO happy the way he just yelled his name excitedly the second he woke up,,,

#i miss them already…. #AND ALSO AT THE END. MORTY WAS KIND OF IN A WAY WHAT STOPPED RICK FROM JUMPING INTO THE HOLE TO SEE DIANE. #you saw him like look sad for a second that he wouldn’t get to see her but then his expression changed to a firm one when he decided he was #-going to put mortys picture on the wall and then his little smile after he did… morty isn’t dianes replacement hes even better than that #THATS HOW I SEE IT THOUGH. one of the biggest appeals of r&m to me is just how they are eachothers absolute favourite and they outweigh- #-everything the others ever known. i think this episode really showed that alot. #despite everything he’s seen and experienced mortys biggest fear is rick not caring about him #and like. that’s funny bc that’s a thing where everybody knows for a fact that’s literally impossible #the biggest contributor for why SO many things in the show have happened is rick loves morty more than anything #also that one part in the whole sequence with them growing up where it showed r&m drinking togehter that made me so happy bc like #it was one of those moments where i was like. Oh yeah duhdoy i almost forgot they’re going to be best friends for ever and ever #hhhgg. so many good things so much so much. also im probably not going to touch this episode for a week lol #i Need time ok. #rick and morty #rick and morty spoilers #odiespeak

Alrighty fellas time for another one

(DPxDC) Batman Rogues ranked based on how good at parenting Danny (and co.) they would be

—

Would probably actually be able to step up and be (relatively) good parents: The Penguin, Mr. Freeze.

They would have EXTREMELY different dynamics with Danny, but I think they could figure it out.

The Penguin would definitely only take in Danny to improve his reputation, and probably so that he could monopolize the use of a new meta’s abilities. (And perhaps to study him)

However, I think that attitude would last for at the absolute most a month, probably closer to two weeks, before he genuinely bonded with him. He’s like the dad who says he doesn’t want a pet, and then in a week they’re inseparable.

He’s not a good person, but I think he could probably end up being an awesome fucking dad. Also, there’s no way in hell anyone would mess with Danny. Not even close. If he found out Danny was getting bullied he’d ruin the bully’s fucking life.

He wouldn’t directly throw hands with a child, sure, but that’s only because it would look bad. He would, however, completely destroy their family’s careers and force them to leave Gotham out of shame.

Mr. Freeze is only a rogue because of his wife. Like, that’s it. He only wants (or wanted, depending on the version) for his wife to be cured and to live happily with her again. All of this is for her, either to help her or to avenge her.

That’s to say that yeah, if Danny managed to weasel his way into his heart, he would have a place with him forever.

He’d probably only interact with him at first because of the ice powers, but if Danny did manage to get closer to him (that’s a pretty big if) I think he’d do fucking anything for him, just like his wife.

He would raze the GiW to the ground for his boy.

They’d do alright probably. Nothing special, but it’d work out ok: Scarecrow, Ivy & Harley, Two-Face, Killer Croc.

Scarecrow is, funnily enough, not that bad. Like, is he genuinely deranged? Yes. Is he murderous and cruel? Yes. Does he have a moral compass that would absolutely support taking care of a child? Yes.

He’s been shown multiple times to genuinely care for people, even if it’s in his own way. Like, yeah, maybe fear-gas-themed murder and torture is a bit far sometimes, but it’s what he knows how to do.

Like, would he know how to take care of a kid? Hell no. But he does have a pretty good list of what not to do, courtesy of his own childhood, so he’d have a pretty alright start.

Ivy and Harley aren’t rated higher because I just don’t think they’d really be responsible enough for a child. I don’t doubt that they’d be able to love Danny, nor that they love each other, but they’re not very stable, and they don’t have a very good grasp on normalcy.

Like, they’d be incredibly cool aunts, or family friends, or something. I just don’t think that they’d do well being the sole guardians of a child or teenager.

I can’t stress this enough, I think they would genuinely love having Danny with all their hearts. I just don’t think that love alone is enough.

Avoiding that genuinely depressing thought, I think Two-Face would similarly be an awesome uncle to have, but wouldn’t do well at the actual “parenting” thing.

Like, he could keep a kid alive no problem, and he’d probably be awesome to have as a legal guardian and stuff, but there’s no way in hell he’d be able to keep Danny in line, for the sole reason of not really seeing a reason to.

However, if he got put in Arkham, he’d 100% not be above guilt-tripping Bruce into taking Danny in, so he does have backup options.

Killer Croc would be an awesome friend to Danny, but that man is in no way capable of being a parent.

He’s got a pretty short temper, and Danny is a little shit. There’d definitely be fighting. A lot of fighting. Croc still gets some points though because he’s a decent guy and I don’t doubt that he’d be willing to get help from the other rogues or even Batman should he need it.

Shouldn’t be trusted to keep a gerbil alive, yet are somehow still better at this than Maddie and Jack: The Riddler, Solomon Grundy

The Riddler is a childish, egotistical asshole with a bit of a god complex and a truckload of emotional baggage.

That being said, he’d still do better than Danny’s actual parents.

Partly because the bar is so low.

Like yeah, there’d be a lot of arguing, but I don’t think that he’d actually ever fight fight with Danny, mostly because he’d feel like he was turning into his father.

For the most part he’d be at the same level as Scarecrow or Killer Croc, I just put him lower because I think he’d forget to feed Danny sometimes. Still not as bad as the food coming alive to attack him though.

Solomon Grundy is pretty similar to Killer Croc in terms of how I think he and Danny would get along, I just think he’d be much worse at getting the things Danny needs to live and be happy.

He’d be cool as a weird uncle, or a friend, but he’d be pretty awful at being an actual parent.

The house is on fire, god is dead: Mad Hatter, Ra’s Al Ghul

Mad Hatter would have UNIMAGINABLE levels of beef with Danny. He would unironically throw hands with a child.

That being said, I think he’d genuinely like Danny.

Wouldn’t make up for anything, but I do think he’d at least not hate him.

Ra’s would be funny as hell no matter what.

He’d ALSO have unimaginable beef with Danny, but for entirely different reasons. He would spend all his time trying to convince Danny to become a member of the LOA and also to turn him fully immortal. Danny would buy him a “world’s okayest dad” mug and “I’m not the dad who stepped up” shirt. They would try to beat each other to death over Damian.

Danny would still probably choose him over Vlad in a heartbeat.

Getting dissected would have unironically been a better option: Joker

Your homework today is to watch Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.

Because I know you won’t, I’m just gonna tell you that Joker has done some MK Ultra shit to a child before in order to mold it into a mini version of himself, and he’d absolutely do it again.

One of them would absolutely end up dead, and considering their track records, I’m not so sure it would be Joker.

#dcxdp #dc x dp #dp x dc #dpxdc #dp x dc crossover #catwoman isn’t on here because she would just give him to bruce immediately #on the bright side if Joker ever obtained another child through dubious means I don’t doubt that Harley and Ivy would beat him to death #honestly out of everyone here I think being adopted by two-face would be the most fun by far #like mr. freeze would be a lot better at being an actual parent but two-face would be fun as hell #also scarecrow would just straight up murder someone for bullying Danny this man is not above killing kids if they’re being dicks #he’s literally done the slasher routine for some girl after she found out her friends all hated her and he’d do it again #the penguin would kill for Danny too I just don’t think he’d kill kids #older teens are up for debate however

[worstloki]

People make truth potions soooo serious. Personally if a friend said ‘I like you’ or ‘I love you’ it would be considered something sweet since they cannot lie and didn’t say ‘I hate you’. Not a confession of romantic love that the world must now be staked on as it is acted out

#same as drunk confessions like bro. BRO. be nice and be cool #you should love your friends #what’s the issue #and even if it was a confession of romance or lust well they’re under forced conditions #be nice that they were forced to reveal things they otherwise wouldn’t #what’s hard to understand here #they like you and love you. obviously??? #people tend to not spend their free time with people they don’t like???? #anyway friendship is cool and truth serum should be less embarrassing over nothing #truth serum deserves better than being a plot device #personally if someone doubled over trying not to say the words ‘I like you’ I think they’d need a tap on the head #it’s not a confession it just sounds like they were reluctant to confess something harmless #and unspoken of I suppose?? #isn’t the concern that they’re forced to say anything at all much more harrowing than saying nice things about a friend

[legendary-alliance-stance]

something i really hope we see in the future, either in SotO or afterwards

is at least one canon m/m pairing that isn’t background NPCs, especially if it’s an existing male character that we already know

(and please no more “this creepy villain is implied to be bisexual because Oooo Look He’s Also Into Men!! Haha funny joke!!” ;; im begging you anet, no more of this caudecus and joko shit)

#guild wars 2 #chatted with some friends about this the other day and im just #i love all the other queer rep we have in the game but I really wish we had better mlm rep #because sure we do have some canon mlm NPCs but they’re. EXTREMELY background and easy to miss #or it’s. caudecus and joko. #and listen I love me some gay coded villains and all that jazz but #PLEASE anet something other than that #something other than ‘this absolutely horrendous guy who is either a tyrant/a complete creep is also into dudes!’ #it’s not the diversity win y’all think it is :( #(and when I say y’all I mean both anet and the fandom.) #anyway. please anet just give me better mlm content.

i am the staunch defender of regis’ sobriety i will never not take the chance to remind everyone he doesn’t drink. from the most depthful analysis to the character fic to the throwaway jokes and incorrect quote posts. i will not let anyone forget about this

#thinking of that ‘oh this drink is really bad [gives it to friend to taste]’ #geralt’s soda gets passed around dandelion and the hanza #dandelion passes 2 regis who is about to take a sip then remembers to confirm its nonalcoholic and they’re like yeah yeah #idk. casual little acknowledgements #such that he pours the wine at yule for the rest of the company… #when i write or draw him at breakfast i always give him water #‘omg the others drink wine for breakfast 😳’ its extremely diluted #conversely whenever i see regis depicted with a glass of reddish liquid i go ‘that better be ribena motherfucker’ #‘that’s such a peculiar thing to focus on’ if you knew me you’d understand my pain #the elbow-high diaries

favs from some 35mm photos i took last autumn/winter (where my shutter speed was too low)

#those foggy winter ones are FAVOURITES #beloved to me #some of them i’m sad the shutter speed was too low cause i took a few of my friends #but i think they’re sweet #i have to have a proper sit down and figure out how to use these cameras better #film photography

i’m turning 28 in june and besties. can i be honest. i have this sense of anxiety and foreboding as i near 30. i love my birthdays and genuinely see aging as a privilege and i think every year that i’m older i feel so much more myself and you couldn’t pay me enough to be 21 again, and i don’t even think that 30 is old! i actually think that, holding the emotional progress i’ve made these past few years constant, i’m going to thrive at 30! i have this idealized image of myself at that age and i am truly looking forward to it! and i do think some of these feelings can be attributed to the fact that my 20s are the first decade of my “adult life” and so i have nothing to compare it to — much in the way that turning 14 felt monumental and terrifying because it signified this arbitrary “transition” — but regardless of all of my cognitive recognitions i cannot seem to shake this feeling.

and i feel so conflicted about it for all the aforementioned reasons, but also because i fundamentally think our anti-aging culture is goofy and ludicrous and pernicious but i am also a member of the dominant culture so even with my beliefs and even as much as i know the anti-aging programming i am inundated with is horseshit meant to make me buy shit, i still feel it! i am still susceptible! and i will be fully honest that some of my fears / anxieties are vain or superficial. like i can admit that some of my thoughts are in the vein of “will i still be considered pretty as i age” which, again! i recognize as probably sounding insane or frivolous to people, but it is in my brain nonetheless. anyway i don’t know the point of sharing this on tumblr instead of journaling it but maybe i’m hoping that someone else understands this and i am not donkey kong king kong crazy

#i feel ashamed of it too because i keep telling myself you’re smarter than this. you value yourself more than this. but i am still a woman #over 25 in a world that thinks we turn to dust at 30 and i can admit that affects me! #i also don’t want to express this to my friends who are 30 or older because i don’t want them to think that my personal anxieties mean that #i think 30 is OLD or that i think any of these things about them because i don’t like if anything my friends who are over 30 are PROOF that #they’re generally better than your 20s. yet i’m still here #perhaps no one relates and i’m leagues behind in my Feminist Evolution but…. i can accept that

someone make a fic about eddie not trusting that steve is actually a good guy who wants to be friends (and more) and keeps being a dick to steve out of self preservation and no one noticing how much steve is hurting and how he’s slowly pulling away from them and retreating into himself bc he knew it he knew he wasn’t good enough he knew he’d never be good enough for anyone not his parents not nancy not his stupid high school friends and definitely not eddie fucking munson who looks at steve like he’s the scum at the bottom of his boot and calls him King Steve, and Your Highness in the most derogatory way he can manage but it’s never Just Steve and it makes steve feel so so small and he’s just so tired and emotionally rung bc he really liked eddie and he really thought they could’ve had something amazing and soft and sweet and he’s just so heartbroken that this amazing man hates him so goddamn much

#and then steve just can’t take it anymore and he just. stops trying #he doesn’t try to be friendly with eddie anymore he doesn’t acknowledge him when they’re in the same room #he flinches when eddie pats him on the shoulder once #and eddie thinks he just can’t stand his touch #and he feels sickly vindicated #like i knew king steve would never want the freak touch him i knew he hadn’t changed #and steve is just so tired #he can’t even feel comfortable around his friends anymore bc eddie is always there with a snide comment or a vicious little smile aimed #soley at steve and steve just wants to go home and cry #being alone sounds better than whatever fucked up thing eddie is going to do to him today #and the worst part is no one fucking notices #no one notices how mean eddie is to steve #and steve knows #knows that he’s not important enough to be paid attention to #but it still hurts #and steve just wishes eddie were a little more like billy #steve would rather take another plate to the head than to listen to eddie’s cruel little remarks again #this got away from me i wanted a happy ending but i guess my period was like no happy. only angst #steddie

Shoutout to that one episode of Dollhouse where everyone gets high and Topher and Adelle have a sleepover party. The worst person you know gets The Naked Time-d and decides to have a girls night with his horrible boss/mom. Meanwhile the rest of the characters are going through it.

#they’re both so horrible <3 #sometimes i think of this episode when i’m sad about the epitaphs #i’m currently rewatching the show with a friend. haven’t seen it since i was 14 but it’s better than i remember #adelle dewitt #topher brink #dollhouse #dollhouse tv #dollhouse tv show #dollhouse the series #help how do i tag for a show with such a generic title? does dollhouse even have a fandom?

there r fics that make u insane (so amazingly good it’s removed ur sanity) and then there’s fics that make u insane (you need to fistfight the author for how they did a specific thing that caused u to rant for hours)

#i know i just posted that other thing but ffs that is NOT how u handle someone in that situation everyone involved made everything 10x worse #yet it’s being treated like the right thing to do (which again ofc they’re cops they don’t understand harm reduction but still) like #seriously everything’s so forceful like u seriously think forcing ur friend to talk to u or forcing a patient to talk to a therapist under #the threat of being admitted to a psychiatric hospital is gonna make her feel comfortable talking to u? or anyone? she’s just gonna trust u #less and get better at hiding it and speaking of which the taking away all sharp objects thing makes sense in theory but like think abt it #for a minute she confirmed she isn’t suicidal and this is her only way of coping so do not just forcibly take away all her coping mechanism #like yes she is hurting herself but it’s a COPING MECHANISM. she’s coping with something. help her with that don’t just take away her penci #sharpers or whatever (which btw since she’s an adult she could easily buy more stuff and yk learn to hide it better) which again has to be #voluntary it isn’t gonna work if u force someone to do smthn they don’t want to like as ur friend u could’ve made it clear u care abt her #and wouldn’t judge her for anything and r here if she wants to talk don’t just say “you have to talk to me” and casually threaten #hospitalisation when she isn’t ready in the moment like seriously if this wasn’t a badly written fanfic she would completely stop trusting #bcz given that this wasn’t even done out of panic i would like ffs u are NOT doing any of this right #oops sorry ranted abt the bad fic in my tags- #it’s not where the author’ll see it and know it’s about them i don’t feel bad abt it #this was my first time even looking at stuff for this fandom so #cw self harm in tags #idk if i need to tag anything else for that 😭 #fanfic #ao3 #ryan shut the fuck up

[milimeters-morales]

OH MY GOD. biting my hands. Milesganke animatic set to More Than A Woman by Aaliyah and it can go three ways. First way is that PS5 Miles isn’t dating Hailey & is jealous that Ganke is dating Andi, and starts purposefully trying to make himself seem like a better pick than her, and outright saying it once (I personally dislike cheating in stories, and i don’t think Ganke would do that, BUT imagine the dramaaaa).

Second way is where PS5 Ganke isn’t with Andi but is getting increasingly jealous/generally upset when Miles is dating Hailey and not him, and starts acting out of character to make himself seem like a better partner (i end this scenario with polyamory because I love Hailey too much to harm her with Miles cheating).

Third way is with movie Ganke being jealous of Gwen being so close with Miles and thinks that her “crush” (i personally don’t think she’ll ever act on it if that’s what it is) will actually be reciprocated so he starts trying to “be cooler” in ways that would make Miles want to date him instead of Gwen, which ends up putting him in danger sometimes. Jealousy is the main thing in all these, as well as suddenly being bold enough to say “i’m the better choice” in the end.

#but yeah like. ganke cheating on andi is soooooo out of character . but can you imagine the story potential. hehe #comic ganke DID date Miles’s ex but i don’t think he’d cheat on a current partner. #but again. the DRAMMAAA OMGGG #and ganke’s jealousy about miles dating hailey is more of the fact that he sees it as Miles will never be in a relationship with him. so+ #when Miles is like ‘dude join us we love you’ he’s fine with that #bc hailey is his friend too!!!! #insomniac spoilers #milesganke #arachnitech #miles morales #ganke lee #spiderman #spider man #idk i don’t think i should tag the girls #they’re only here to be ‘oh i’m better than her’ and that sounds assholish to put in their tags #m&m posts

[tennessoui]

I heard a quote today and it made me think of your couples counseling fic. It was about the walls and defenses we build in our mind and how that can only push people away. But "two vulnerable people will always find a way to connect." And I can just totally see Sheari saying that to obikin

I can so easily see this tbh

and also I can so easily see both obi-wan and anakin being like “IM the vulnerable one!!! He’s the one with the sky high shields and walls and defenses!!!”

and probably Sheari, who spent an entire night drinking wine and researching war tactics with her wife because maybe if she can speak their language, the generals will be able to understand her, is like “ok ok ok well in a battle, what do you try to do when your opponent has very strong defenses you can’t knock through immediately?”

and the two generals turn to look at each other very obviously using their mental bond to discuss war tactics before they turn back to her and they’re like “if the enemy is stationary and secure behind walls, siege. If they’re out on open level field same as us, trench warfare.”

and sheari’s like “ok ok good so why don’t you apply the same logic to your partner? dig a trench, wait him out. Stay. That’s the important part. No one wants to be vulnerable with someone they think is about to leave or capable of leaving”

but she’s lost them because Anakin disagrees with sieges on principle and they’re now arguing about which tactics of war are more effective and they’ve completely lost the plot and are too focused and kriffing stupid to pay attention to the metaphor

#asks #couples counseling au #obikin #to be fair sheari’s wife #is like well maybe it’s for the better you steer clear of these military metaphors #you don’t really want to encourage them to see each other as enemies do you? #and Sheari (giving off the charts insane it’s always sunny red string investigation meme) #is like I think they’re literally everything to each other #friend partner brother parent spouse enemy antagonist hope distrust affection oxygen #and sheari’s wife is like I….I don’t know if that’s healthy #and Sheari is like IM GOING TO FUCKING MAKE IT HEALTHY
