#is that what the kids say nowadays?

[ghost-bxrd]

Prompt:

Damian isn’t happy about father’s rule not to hurt the gaggle of false kids he has acquired. How is he supposed to prove to him that he is the only one worthy of the title of heir now?

But fine. Most of them are stupid enough they’ll end up dead sooner or later. Damian just has to play the long game. Establish himself as the only constant.

But then father’s wayward son, Todd, comes home… and it’s so much worse than Damian expected.

He remembers this man. Remembers him from hushed whispers in the League, from mother’s creased eyebrow, and training halls drenched with blood.

And he’ll take one look at Damian and know. Know that he’s a threat to his position.

And the worst thing: Damian isn’t allowed to defend himself.

#Jason has no idea why the baby demon seems to be terrified of him #it’s kinda funny #all he’ll have to do is say boo and the kid very nearly faints on him #it’s less funny when they happen to be the only ones locked in a cell and Damian expects him to murder him in the most brutal fashion #like dang he thought Bruce really had a better opinion of him nowadays #also pls stop trying to stab me baby bat #misunderstandings #miscommunication #Jason doesn’t know what’s wrong with the new Robin but apparently he’s been tasked to keep him alive #and he’s making that friggin hard #jason todd #batfamily #dick grayson #bruce wayne #batfam #robin #red hood #tim drake #batman #prompts #Damian wayne #Damian al ghul #Nightwing #red robin #batdad #Jason and Damian

the best thing about going through old posts from 2012 is remembering how people on tumblr and the internet in general back then spoke EVERY other WORD in CAPS LOCK while reacting to things they vaguely liked as if oh my god. OH MY GOD. IT WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER!!!!! while PUNCTUATING THEIR SENTENCES with EXCLAMATIONS!!! but never splitting apart sentences word by word with them as we do more often now and instead

with quirky visual references to accompany this fanciful theater kid julliard applicant text. 2012 was the year of the theater kids and everyone including the theater kids knew it. and nowadays online we're all just lowercase derailing train of thought no punctuation no excitement just mumbling quietly to ourselves snarky hipsters and even when we get exCITED@!!! like this it's intentionally bungled so it's less of you being genuinely enthusiastic and more of you putting on a voice so that you can have the copout of being satirical about being enthusiastic. and this is due to the post-2015 mass surgence of dave strider influenced transmascs being released to mingle with the rest of society coinciding with the great cringe culture epidemic of the mid-2010s. in this essay i will

#homestuck #bottlehawk text #seriously the mid early 2000s was peak theater kid culture. nowadays a hated breed persecuted by many. but they were king back in the day. #people will still get excited “like this!!” but as you can see it is way more chill without caps lock and also pretty girly #or “LIKE FUCKING THIS!!! FUCK YEAHHHHHH” so that the colorful swearing makes you sound socially acceptable and like you're at a sports game #but just read a couple of 2013 posts talking about how X fandom is actually rlly cool despite what the bullies say FUK DEM I WILL HUG U >_<! #and you will see the difference

And now we're gotten to the point terf's are claiming now our choice of toys is biological based, aka somehow our hormones choose our toys I guess.

#uk politics #british politics #cass review #okay by this logic: i'm cis #i liked to play with dolls...but i also liked to play with doctor who toys aka the boy toys #what does that say about my gender terfs #come on now #hell nowadays im into collecting both gender stuff as been collecting MH dolls but also transformers #like out of all the arguments to put in their terf review #that was put in there #wonder what that'll do for future kids who like toys that are deemed the opposite of their gender #since labor wants to implement this shit somehow

This idea is eating my brain. Sukuna being a shameless insatiable freak towards Gojo and an in-denial thirsty freak towards Itadori.

He wants Gojo. He pursues him without relent. Sukuna wants to wreck the man and paint him red all over. He wants to taste his heart and know if he is as sweet as the desserts he gorges himself full with.

Sukuna wants to pry Gojo open and eat him out clean. He wants to climb over him and crawl inside of him. Their bodies becoming one and no one can ever tell where Sukuna start and Gojo ends anymore.

Sukuna desires that more than anything.

But he cannot understand why he sees himself doing it in the body of the brat that once caged him.

Instead of imagining his own four arms bringing Gojo towards his end begging and moaning for mercy he would never receive, Sukuna fancies it to be that of the annoying mouthy fool.

Clumsy hands and eager fingers. Unable to control the strength they possess that they break Gojo in. Cracking bones. Shattering spirits.

Gojo will be quivering. The brat will whimpering. Sukuna will be feasting.

The sweetness of their despair and richness of their blood sit heavy on his tongue. Salty tears spilling from confusion and frustration just makes his mouth water for more.

But what Sukuna craves more from their joining in his fantasy, was the forbidden taste of desire for the impossible and unthinkable - desecration of something sacred and twisting of kindness so profound.

Sukuna wants Gojo through the Brat. It is driving him insane.

SCREAAAAAAAMINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

SHIT THAT'S SOOOOO GOOD OH MY GOD. AND SO SO SO CORRECT

it's a mix of his desire to break yuuji (derogatorily) and break satoru (affectionately) and it mixes up into this absolute mess of feelings for all of them involved and fuuuuuccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

#f.ask #as the kids say nowadays: YOU COOKEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD #fr going insane oh my goddffddddd #like. everytime ive read this since u sent it ive been like 'holy shit' #like gjdfhgksdhkfjrhgfisjioddshiuohdsfuighfksdhjkdfhgsdfdsgs #and it makes so much SENSE. #sukuna wants satoru more than anything. he's the strongest. he wants to break him more than anything. #taste him more than anything. #but at the other hand he DESPISES yuuji. #wants nothing to do with him #wants nothing more than the boy to suffer. and what better way than to make HIM violate the people he loves so much. #his beloved teacher who yuuji loves. with his OWN hands. there is nothing that will crush him more than that #but that comes with facing that he needs to be joined to the boy who has caged him. #the boy that makes his entire being quake in disgust. in absolute disdain. #obsessed anon im OBSESSED #jjk #sukugo #sukugoyuu #anon i love u #bc sukuna HAS such convoluted feelings about yuuji. #vs the clarity of his desire of gojo #love it love it love ittttttttttttttttttttttttttt

Do you ever stop and think, whether Eve choked on the first piece of meat that She tasted? With a tongue accustomed to fresh, sweet fruit from the Garden, it must have been hard to accept Her fate.

How could the strange texture of warm flesh and the metallic flavour of the blood be reminiscent to the sharp bite of apples, or to the soft ripeness of a fig?

Do you ever wonder if She beat at Her breast, wailing in despair and terror as bile claws up Her throat? Did Her hand curl around Her swollen belly in a furtile attempt to keep away the night?

And when inevitably Her hair turns grey, crows-feet at the corner of Her eyes, smile lines etched deep, does She reach Her hand out to the heavens, bemoaning Her loss, yet smiling, smiling all the same? When Her hand finally slumps down, did it touch Adam's?

my characterisation of carlos is based off that bbc sports interview from his toro rosso days where his answer to the question "are you better looking than your friends [who are all spanish]" is "i think we're all pretty ugly, the spanish" like why would you say that 😭😭😭

#CARLOS YOUR SELF ESTEEM BACK THEN WAS 🚮 #such a typical response from someone who doesn't back themselves #and then he pivots the response to favoring the asker 'not as pretty as the british' #tom's face when he looks into the camera after carlos rags himself and his friends says it all like #can u believe what this guy is saying with a straight face 😭 #carlos is so privileged and sheltered rich private school kid #u can take that kid and give him moderate success in his dream career and put him in ferrari n all of that but he still has that dog in him #tying this back to: carlos wanting multi-year contracts/stability as proof that a team wants him and believes in him #bc if his team does then truly he can and SHOULD believe in himself... #but without that contract he's one of many in the ensemble of drivers that get rotated in and out #i'm not deliberately woobifying him btw this is just my take on how different carlos is nowadays vs toro rosso days #and how he's not that different at all #anyway self confidence and self esteem are two different things and you can have plenty of one but not the other

I'm definitely not the only queer person who's kinda wary of Christian ppl they encounter online right?

Like I see a profile that clearly states they're Christian and they post like Bible verses and shit and I'm just. Hoping they're not queerphobic. Or saying some dumbass shit like "hate the sin love the sinner" or whatever while pretending that's not queerphobic

If they're interacting with me first it's pretty safe to assume they're not gonna be like that bc I'm very obviously queer (🏳️‍🌈 + pronouns in bio) but if it's someone who hasn't interacted with me at all I kind of instinctively avoid interacting with them out of fear of them being that way. Y'know

#ramblings #i think it's bc even tho i've never been religious and my family isn't like a super uptight christian family #i have encountered a preacher who was homophobic and transphobic before #he's puerto rican too which just makes me disappointed in my people tbh #i grew up surrounded by a lot of accepting ppl both within and outside of the family #as well as a couple gay/trans ppl #i was always taught that that's just the way some ppl are and that we should respect that #even if we didn't fully understand everything and weren't up to date with the latest most accepted terminology and stuff #ppl were just respectful and let others be themselves #so it's extremely hard for me to understand why other ppl would be queerphobic #i mean. i kinda get it. it what they were taught growing up. just how i was taught to be accepting and respectful #but why ppl would continue to teach that to their kids and perpetuate queerphobia is really what i don't get #like. accepting that ppl different from you exist and that's ok isn't going to kill you #maybe learn abt the world from other sources besides the bible and try to see different perspectives #instead of shutting yourself off to just one way of thinking and hurting ppl in the process #anyways. i think it's also bc i've seen too many really religious ppl on the internet who are also queerphobic #and they have these big platforms of ppl who support them and share their views #and like. i shouldn't generalize. but they paint an ugly image of christians in general #also like. christians throughout history don't have the cleanest track record #but i know a lot of christians nowadays aren't like that. in fact i'm willing to say most aren't #but still it's like. better be safe than sorry y'know #idk man

#wait to add to that #i feel like ppl USED to say 'i'll be in my bunk' or 'brb getting into my bunk' to mean hey bro i have to jerk off abt this fic u wrote #and it was like. very normal #but nowadays idt the kids would get that if i said it??? #idk. what's the vibe. #driveby post

Big fan of the idea that Diluc adamantly tries to never curse bc he is a Nobleman and bc Addie raised him better, always keeping his speech formal, even if stiff when it comes down to it.

And then there are The Fatui and Kaeya, who can make him swear like a goddamn sailor within minutes of dealing with him.

#hc; diluc #//The Fatui for obvious reasons #//He threw decorum out the window during those four years; hatred and habit are hard to break #//Kaeya is just. Kaeya hdhfhfh #//It makes Kaeya laugh whenever he can break Luc’s composure enough to make him swear #//Esp since that was something he liked to do; back when they were kids #//Exclusively for those moments when Kaeya can manage to make him outright swear at him; Luc can be seen smiling in spite of himself #//Bc of that memory—because he gets to hear Kaeya’s stifled snickering laughter again; not the flowery little chuckle he does nowadays #//Not that he’d let Kae know he still clings to the memory; not while he’s so unsure where they stand & how to navigate their broken bond #//Sometimes he’ll deliberately throw Kae a bone and swear on purpose; it usually cuts short Kae’s antics bc he gets distracted #//Its better for the both of them if they try compromising in ways like that; that’s what Luc thinks #//Luc low key knows a fair share of Khaenri’ahn swears he picked up from Kae; who in turn accidentally learned from his father #//Theyre Luc’s favorites; bc he can get away with saying them whenever and then brush them off as smth else #//Still tries not to; but sometimes a man’s gotta swear to make things a little easier & the day go smoother #//Really tries hard not to say them in front of Kae; tho. he thinks it might make the man go into shock

[boxchewr]

im not really a homestuck fan anymore nor do i ever have the patience or time to reread it properly but. i will still fight tooth and nail for the fact that there's still a lot of value to that comic

#text #it lands solidly in 'good' category to me it does a lot of things i like but a lot i can't stand #what it does well it does so so well and tho it's very obviously a thing that started in 2009 by someone from newgrounds #and by the end you can tell everyone was tired of it going including the author #and then the fucking. shitty ass followups that seem to actively mock and loathe the fact that theyre homestuck followups #i think the meat and potatoes of the comic itself can be incredibly good more often than it's bad #its Long As Fuck but you know every facet of the significant characters. you grow and bond with them so much #absurdly long stretches of nearly pure dialogue back and forth between characters on a page #and then the next page with even more dialogue back and forth them just talking going on rambles and making jokes #but its so natural and most of the main cast feel super real like these are just some kids having a conversation on skype or smth #also it's still one of the funniest things i've ever read no cap. some of the jokes still stay in my mind forever #its not at all for everyone. not whatsoever. its 85% dependent on you liking these characters enough to see more of them #and just wanting to spend time with these little losers and their dumb overly complicated game #but i did like them! i think abt these characters a lot in my random life still despite not interacting significantly with it in years #and i feel like people are kinda a bit too mean abt it nowadays. acting like it was all a waste of time and there wasn't anything good #when no i still like a good amount of it up until beginning-middle of act 6 onwards when it just gets too confusing to keep up with #i still suggest reading it if you have time. can look past a lot of the early acts saying slurs and such. and have interest in it #at least try to get to act 5 if not beginning of 6 and then go thru 6 until u can't stomach anymore of it or if u reach the end #bc yeah act 6 being a nightmare confusion world is a lot of why i think ppl think it sucks #plus the first acts being a bit. 2009 newgrounds core #but even in those acts there's still some good stuff i wish ppl didn't shrug the whole thing off #Just give it a try see if its for u or not #it was one of the biggest Things on the internet for a while for a good reason #and i think it's a shame that it's mainly just considered. something shameful to like and stupid and has no inherent value to it #when there really is still a lot to like #give it a whirl see how you feel #i'm still never personally touching it again bc of. Generally who i was when i was hyperfixated on it #so. lmao

[barnbridges]

my most education major take is that people don't want you to parent your children anymore. people don't want mothers (and fathers) to give any sort of life-advice or care to their children. people have become so therapy-obsessed and the whole "intergenerational trauma" craze has made it so that you should actually pass nothing onto your child. you should just take your child to therapy and feed them baby formula until they're 18 and at that point, they're on their own. it's cruel and inhumane and the way people want to de-involve society at large in the raising of children, down to that they shouldn't even be parented anymore.

#again im childfree maybe im way offbeat but i think way too many of the expectations that are placed on parents esp mothers #come from people who never have or want children #im not trying to say pass all your shit to your kids like you're in hereditary #but you SHOULD pass things and life principles and likes and dislikes onto your child #i think people nowadays are obsessed with emotionally well children and don't think that sometimes #you have to lack things as a child to develop into an adult that has will and capacity to survive #idk #you can say this is cruel and anti-therapy or whatever the fyck you want #but grandparents and schools and aunts and uncles used to be so involved in raising children. #there USED to be a village for every child #it was NORMAL for your child's teacher to discipline them and teach them not school but life principles #nowadays apparently nobody but a fucking phone and a therapist can raise children #which i think is contributing to the way mothers are treated in our society #if we don't acknowledge it's fucking hard to raise children and that you SHOULD be individual in it and focus not just on needs #and random pop psychology but also on what the human in front of you is growing into #i think it's bullshit and it in the long run would not be good for our world

loveeeeeeee when my one very spoilt flatmate says some shit about how she treats her mum/how she talks to her mum and me and my other flatmate just look at each other for a silent moment and both just go 'no id be dead'

#like flatmate no.1 is the spoilt one and ive known her as well as flatmate no.2 since not just first year but FRESHERS #like these are my uni 4lifers we've known each other since the first two weeks flatmate no.2 i met on my first DAY #so it's quite funny bc ive SEEN flatmate no.1 change her atittude over time #and i think it's a joint effort of being exposed to different people at uni #and also bc ive just beaten her down every time she says something even remotely ignorant/spoilt #like i normally wouldnt give myself that much credit for a single person's character arc but flatmate no.2 BARELY saw us last year #and me and flatmate no.1 were basically joint at the hip so it was a proximity thing more than me just being super cool and inspiring #so basically what im getting at is that in first year she was sooooo shamelessly spoilt #and it was so clear she just had never hung out with people who WERENT spoilt #and nowadays she's v good at letting herself be the butt of the joke and she still gets iffy about dumb shit #but generally speaking she takes what we give her now whereas she used to ARGUE and that boiled my fucking blood #and it means we can talk more easily about these things and one thing that comes up A LOT is the difference in parenting #like i shit you not this girl uses a baby voice on her parents. it's actually uncomfortable #me however i was raised with a bloody mercenary whose genuine worst insult for us was to call us middle class LMAO #like my mum put tough love into the dictionary her VERBATIM catchphrase is 'fall in or fuck off' #and flatmate no.2 is ESTRANGED from her mum and has a very on-off relationship with her dad that has all round left her very independent #like for her there was no one there to spoil her and for me the person that was there would literally have rather died than have spoilt kid #so flatmate no.1 will say some bratty shit and me and flatmate no.2 are just there like??? are you fucking deranged??? #the example that caused this post is that flatmate no.1's mum went into her room #and she was like '.... it smells like weed in here darling....' and my flatmate POINTED AT HER WEED AND WENT 'YEAH THAT'S WHY' #and she was telling us as a haha funny and i was like. THE DISRESPECT? #like my mum would be less angry about the weed than she was about the fact i didnt even respect her enough to hide it if that makes sense #she'd fucking clobber me id be out on the bloody street LMAO #spoilt kids and/or pushover parents just baffle me like i have never won a fight against my mum what are you even doing #'why didn't you do [rebellious thing] as a kid' BITCH I WAS SCARED LMFAO #hella goes to uni
