#if they hasn't done the thing they did

[liathebookwyrm]

A non-exhaustive list of dead people I have beef with in no particular order and for no particular reason

Alexander the Great. Great general, not nearly enough of an attention span for maintaining his empire

The Victorians. For making it weird. It being everything they ever wrote about. Except for flower language. That's cool.

Saint Paul. For having far too much of the New Testament ascribed to him and making my religion classes harder than they had to be.

Ea Nassir. He knows what he did.

Everyone involved in the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

Olaf Tryggvason. For his approach towards Christianising his sovereign (and not so sovereign) lands.

Whoever Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre is based on.

Christopher Colombus.

The idiot that started the El Dorado legend. And all the idiots that believed him.

Lord Elgin. Fuck him and everyone like him.

Whoever thought it a good idea to steal one of the Easter Island sculptures

The person responsible for the Hermes scandal of 415 BCE.

Ioannis Kolettis and Alexandros Mavrokordatos. For having names that are very difficult to spell when you are ten and looking entirely too unlikeable in the illustrations of my history book.

Whoever decided "καταπλεω" (katapleo) should no longer have it's original meaning. We had a verd specifically for the act of sailing off to fuck shit up!

On a similar vein, whoever lost the recipe to the composition of Greek fire.

The academic that unironically called Sapfo straight

The person responsibilities for destroying part of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter. I have Questions.

The person who decided "Wednesday" should be spelled thusly

Everyone involved in the formation of modern German grammar and syntax.

The utter psychopath who made a show of publicly unwrapping mummies in front of an audience.

Damian has definitely stolen aspects of his personality or interests from his older siblings, Bruce, and Alfred (I'm saying this as a youngest sibling)

Like. I dunno I just feel like he's picked up things like

He makes certain teas certain ways because of Alfred

He has shelves of books he's read because of Jason

He got into some collectible card games because of Duke

He has a folder of saved memes/reaction images on his phone because of Stephanie

#Like I got into one video game series because one of my older siblings liked it. #I got into pokemon because one of my other siblings liked it #I got into certain habits of how I made things or did them because of the way I saw any of my siblings do it #you can't convince me that Damian as the youngest hasn't done this #damian wayne #duke thomas #stephanie brown #jason todd #alfred pennyworth #batfam #batfamily #dc comics

Honestly I’m choosing to be an optimist and believe that Elden Henson at the least could still be in DD Born Again (haven’t heard anything about Deb so not sure there). As best I can tell, all the current rumors that he and Deb aren’t there trace back to a single article stating Elden and Deborah aren’t on the current call sheet. And having known folks who worked in TV, this doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t on the cast list. It just means that what DD is filming right now doesn’t require them - think action scenes, solo scenes. It could mean that, say, Jon’s on a time crunch and so they’re just going to shoot everything with him and Charlie first so he can leave and then they’ll hit everything else. It could mean, ‘yeah ok we buffed all our dudes up so we’re just gonna get the hardcore fights and the shirtless scenes done ASAP’. Kevin has been open about how much he loved Netflix DD, and the fact that he’s already pulled in Charlie, Vincent, and Jon, along with - seemingly - Krysten if the hints on twitter are right, makes me hopeful that this is just a, ‘They’re being secretive and are filming things in a certain order’.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed, anyway.

#daredevil #daredevil: born again #elden henson #foggy nelson #i'm holding onto what i know from folks who work in tv #they literally have to film this shit out of order and sometimes have to navigate cast schedules so i'm hoping #that they're just like #'yeah we gotta get all the gritty heavy stuff done first' #and then they'll come back to all the non-fighty hard core things and that's when elden will pop up #and where deb will pop up #alternatively marvel's just baiting people into talking about it like they did with all the rumors #about who would and wouldn't be in multiverse of madness #i'm not willing to make the leap yet and assume our foggy won't be there #i'm honestly not sure about deb cause i know she's said she hasn't gotten any calls and vincent has been campaigning to bring her back too #BUT #marvel contracts also tend to require you to pretend you're not gonna be in shit so idk

A) Speedsters can possess the bodies of other speedsters by phasing into the host speedster's body and/or turning into pure energy and merging with the host body via the host's speedforce connection.

B) Speedsters can fuse with other speedsters. During this fusion they 'share' a brain and thought processes.

C) Fusion differs from possession in that fusion relies on both parties sharing control. Possession is easier as only one speedster is in control and it sidesteps the risk of a fusion falling apart due to differing mental states/thoughts. Fusion requires a deep connection and a strong bond to work.

D) Wally and Bart have such a strong bond that they can speak to each other through the speedforce and sense each other's emotions from anywhere in the world.

Conclusion:

DC has the ability to unleash a fusion of Bart and Wally upon the world and they have not yet done so. This is criminal. Imagine the shenanigans. The confusion. The hilarity. Especially if they accidentally do it. DC don't be a coward.

#possession is actually extremely common for speedsters. Eobard has possessed Barry. Wally's done it to literally everyone accidentally #Max got possessed by Jay's reverse flash that one time. there are several incidents where this has happened. #Eobard shoved Barry's consciousness into the speedforce and the same thing happened to Max. #but Wally didn't do that. when he possessed speedsters he just kinda... put them to sleep while he took over. #i mean Wally did it to Jay Barry Jesse Bart Ace Max Jai Eobard some random caveman. its harder to name a speedster Wally didn't possess tbh #anyway point being that speedsters merging bodies with other speedsters is extremely fucking common. they just don't like to share mentally #buuuuut! Wally fused with another version of himself on time. this was the first time this had happened ever. #so wally theorized that he could only do it because they had the same DNA. but DNA doesn't factor in at all for possession #and they're only different mentally/control wise. so i don't think that was correct. i think that because they had extremely similar minds #they were able to share consciousness. which is why true fusion hasn't happened since. #but come on. Wally and Walter were extremely different. Walter was literally homicidal a decade older and depressed. #and they could still fuse #so Bart and Wally??? both are skilled enough and both have a strong enough connection. #they could totally do it #and it would be. so funny #dc #dc comics #the flash #kid flash #wally west #impulse #bart allen #speedsters

it's always funny when in fanfics people are like "c!Dream hurt so many people, most of the server was affected by his actions" when in reality it was mostly like. a select group he had a beef with. and that somehow turned into "everyone". i don't think he has even properly interacted with all of them

#it's also good when they say ''all the terrible things he did" and never specify which things #not saying he hasn't done a lot of shit or hurt people but hoo boy #the drama #his biggest crime isn't even known and that'd be one of the few things to justify his treatment #this turned into a rant #anyways this isn't targeted #just an observation i've made

MITCHELL AKUTAGAWA EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!

#MITCHELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #///AND/// AKUTAGAWA EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Yosano and Kenji spotlight too. Episode written precisely for my personal liking #Too bad no Atsushi then it would have been perfect (╥﹏╥) At least we got his voice in the episdoe preview #Alright I **LOVE** Mitchell. This is not the space to talk about it properly but I just really like how flawed she is‚ #but also in a way that results funny and endearing. And I love love love how much she cares about her family and is loyal to it!!! #It makes her so noble and virtuous. I know she has so little screentime but really the way she's so harsh and in apparence self-absorbed– #But in reality so kind and altruistic... The way her hearsh ways are implied to be only a consequence of a life of struggles and her will– #to save her family's name through a noble behavior and appearance too... It makes her so complex and multilayered imo #AND just how her innate tendency to defend people spans out of her family too!!!! #In my interpretation she did NOT care for Hawthorne or like him. But she still gave her life for him because she just instinctively– #protects the people around her. I don't have any strong feelings for haw/mitch but like how to blame Hawthorne I would have– #fallen for her right that istant too. #Now to Akutagawa. I'm really endeared by this episode because I'm pretty sure that's when I started sympathizing with / liking him :') #Like that's the moment when the things Dark Era showed us and the canon Akutagawa behavior click together and the watcher goes “Oh. OH.” #At least I'm pretty sure it was for me. It's bittersweet but especially sweet. #One more thing is... Wow bsd really has been like *that* since the beginning hasn't it. It's kinda silly to think back to all the criticism #the latest arc got now. #The criticism regarding how the ridiculously high stakes have been solved seemingly effortlessly in a way that resulted very anticlimatic?? #That's ALWAYS been there. “Oh no the ada is done for if they found out our base!!” *holds literally ZERO consequences* #“Oh no the Guild is done for if they destruct Zelda!!” *holds literally ZERO consequences* #“Oh no the Guild knows were our clerk is!!” *holds near to ZERO consequences* #And #“Oh no Akutagawa died!” “Oh no half world population was tuned in vampires!” “Oh no Fukuchi obtained One Order!” #“Oh no Chuuya is a vampire siding against Dazai!” #It's really the same‚ isn't it? #But like‚ we're still glad all of it happened right? Because it makes the experience enjoyable lol. #It's really about enjoying the ride I suppose. #I have more to ramble about but I've ran out of tags so I'll be doing it on my main blog reblog later #random rambles

[eyes-above--the-waves]

I dunno guys, I feel like getting a goal and an assist in a literal do-or-die elimination game is the exact opposite of “not showing up when it matters” but what the fuck do I know...

#i desperately need the haters to stfu about mitch PLEASE #like was game 3 bad? yes. did he play well? not particularly. #but all these people completely blocking out the entire 1st round and pretending he hasn't done a damn thing this whole time is ridiculous #mitch marner #leafs lb #toronto maple leafs

A Marauders Band Au intro/summary? for a fic that I most likely will never actually write but I felt like writing this anyway and I don't hate it as much as I thought I would so here you go.

—-

Regulus’ whole body was shaking, though he was trying not to let it show. He stood there on the stage, the crowd screaming and cheering all around him as he tried to gather his wits and slow his hard breathing. “Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit what did I just do.”

                                  ---------

Regulus was 13 years old when his older brother Sirius ran away to pursue a musical dream with his best friends, leaving Regulus alone and broken in the process. The same year, only a few months later, was the first time Regulus got up in front of a crowd to perform his first violin solo. Now, at 18, he’s tired. Tired of the soft classical music that he used to love but has grown to hate, being forced to perform day after day. Tired of his mother whose cold gaze forces him to put on an act everyday as if he's an actor and not a musician. Regulus is tired and he refuses to live like this anymore. Except he’s stuck. His mothers grip on him is stronger than he’d like to admit and he doesn’t know if he can get out of it all on his own. His only choice? Set aside his pride and find his new rising star of a brother to see if there’s still a chance to rekindle their relationship so they can finally put the past where it belongs, allowing Regulus to break free.

there is no possible way to communicate to my fucking roommates that they're not doing their share of the chores in this house without them ignoring or hating me and i feel like i'm going Insane

#i wanna talk about me #i texted this morning saying Hey guys its dirty in here. i'm doing my part now please do yours at some point today too #and just the other minute i checked with the person who's supposed to do the counters if she did them yet #cause they're still fucking dirty. #and she said i cleaned them last night and always does them at night #Well then why is there a fucking oil slick next to the stove that's been there for three days then. #But just me trying as politely as possible to check in and ask 'did you get to the counters yet?' and she got cross with me #i can tell. #and of course she hasn't done the bathroom yet either. #even though it's her week. and was last week too. #but it's still gross. #and she hasn't fucking touched it. #and like #she got way on MY ass months ago for the exact same fucking chores. and not being up to her cleanliness standards #but no matter how many times i try to improve things or speak up nothing changes #if i ask nothing changes. if i keep asking i'm an annoying nag and they hate me!!! #what the fuck am i supposed to do!! #i can't clean an entire house of four people all by myself every week!! #AND WE AGREED TO SHARE THE CLEANING!!!!!!!!!! #WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE HOUSEHOLD MEETINGS ABOUT THIS

[elisedonut]

sudden itch to write a rare pair fic thats not Percy related

but like

the last time I did that it ended up becoming my top fic and lead to me deciding that you know... actually I hate that ship just out of spite so i'm not sure how good of an idea it is

maybe if i try like femslash or something super super rare with side characters or something

#using tumblr as a diary again #like is it healthy to feel that way? #no it's probably not but knowing that hasn't made the feeling go away in the months sense i posted it lol #like multiple people have asked for more for it but I'm ngl I'm likely never touching that ship again much less the fic itself #like if i even did decide to it would probably just be Percy and Viktor meeting #the whole reason it even became the ship it did was because I couldn't figure out how to write Viktor #But i don't think that's what people mean when they say they want more of it but maybe id be less annoyed if I did add a Percy/Viktor chapt #I feel like this is what those people mean when they talk about posting art you put your all into vs a doodle #because while i spent a hell of a long time procrastinating writing it i was never like actually happy with it #I just kinda wrote and posted it because I was running out of time and wanted to be done with it #which I think is part of why I find it annoying that it has like double the kudo's of everything else but it makes sense that it does #like it's a garbage fic yeah but its the main character and a fan favorite so ofc its going to get more attention #especially in comparison to the niche nonsense I make that I like more #will I ever delete it No I'm fire believer in not deleting things I've made because ive learned in my life i always regret it so #I just have to get better at writing so I can knock it off its horse >:) #or just keep adding extra chapters to Raspberry Muffin until it surpasses it lol #they only have a difference of 64 at the moment so its not impossible #I know im going to see this again in a few years and be so confused on why it bothered me so much i just know it lol

[essektheylyss]

My voice is now hoarse and I'm pretty sure it's from shouting and flat out screaming through the second half of that episode.

#icb matt made laura go through that without a voice screaming was legit essentially to my survival #sincerely: somebody who got told to stop screaming last dnd game 😔 #I must unleash the feelings I'm sorry #I did start yelling and screaming so loudly and violently for a while there I was worried the folks upstairs were gonna come knocking #cr spoilers #critical role #anyway I'm gonna go make some tea and TRY to get a few things done good fucking lord #it hasn't gone well yet but

[givemewallywestorgivemedeath]

I have a vague memory of Irey being able to do absolutely terrifying things with the speedforce too? She could make her Impulse costume out of energy like Wally could but couldn't she also like. Wrap people in pure speedforce cocoons and control their lifespans

... no...?

I mean. This is actually super weird for me because my personal headcanon is that she'll grow up to do those things but... uh.. no, she's never done that in canon

The suit thing, yeah. Most speedsters can do the suit thing.

Wally has made lil tiny baby speedforce cocoons to hold arsenic bombs and stuff. But, as far as I'm aware, there haven't been any people sized speedforce cocoons.

It seems doable but it also doesn't seem doable. Idk. Speedsters usually have to be super close to their constructs (like, touching them) for them to exist because (although they don't like to admit it) the constructs are usually more 'extensions of their own body that are too inhumane for them to mentally classify as part of their body without having a mental breakdown' and less 'actual stand alone constructs'. For example, Wally's 'cocoons' were attached to his hands.

Of course that being said, Scouts are speedforce constructs that can exist without touching their speedforce source/creator. But Bart is also on some next level shit with that power. That's not a typical speedster ability. Godspeed made a single Scout for less than a minute and he almost died. Rip to Godspeed but Bart is built different.

So ... Idk. It's a possibility for sure.

Now the aging thing is, again, just a general speedster power. Most speedsters can do this, they just don't know they can do it. Pretty much every speedster controls their own aging and slows down their loved ones aging.

Making someone age super fast or deage is a speedster power as well. It just takes a lot more skill and practice. Not every speedster can do it and, honestly, most haven't tried. I love em but they aren't the most creative bunch. Anyway, it's a power that has been shown before and it's 100% doable. I could totally see Irey being able to do it.

#im trying really hard to think of anything Irey has done thatd be similar to this #but she hasn't really done anything crazy yet #again the suit thing is a given but there haven't been cocoons #she is supposed to be ridiculously powerful and skilled as an adult tho #is it possible you are mixing up her weird aging arc for her being able to control aging? cause she did have a weird aging arc #anyway i always headcanon that Irey will be fucking terrifying as she grows older and that will manifest in her ability to age people #its her power that she tries not to use but when she's pissed off she absolutely does #'oh don't worry. im not going to kill you. you will make sure that you live a long and happy life and you will die peacefully of old age..' #'...all in the span of a minute' #and then the person just crumbles in agony in front of her as they're aged decades every second #i just think she should get to be terrifying and i think the aging thing has a lot of potential for the 'fucked up speedster power' list
