the secret history was really a story of fatal flaws, hedonistic haze (charles woke up inside a plastic snail), bacchanal in the woods, glorification of the picturesque (hold up, humans landed on the moon?), an elaborate murder plot, hubris and vanity (“say, what’s wrong with this type?” “triple spaced it”), pretentious aphrodisiacs, attempts at losing oneself completely (loudly kills a bee with a bible at the funeral of a recently murdered friend), utter obsession with the aesthetic—

loved your Charlize characters things, but can’t you do somewhat the same with some of Meryl’s characters? Like how they are to live with or something
Thanks ! And sure, should be fun! Seems a bit short but oh well, haha
Not my gifs!
Miranda Priestly
Tumblr media
- Well
- She’s tough
- She’s a perfectionist at best
- Her house is very clean
- Even for having two near teenage girls
- She has a nanny for her girls who also cooks for them when she isn’t able
- Although I don’t think Miranda is the biggest cook, I do think she knows how to do it
- Her townhouse is MASSIVE
- 3 stories
- So many rooms
- You still get a little lost sometimes
- Not surprising though, there’s so many doors
- But Miranda wouldn’t be too bad to live with
- Unless she’s stressed and in one of those terrible moods
- She can be quite poisonous in her mouth
- Very critical
- You know not to fuel it at the worst times
- But you still like to pick at her
- Teaser
- 😌
Donna Sheridan
Tumblr media
- She’s so fun
- You, Sophie and her are dream team
- You were a painter , a local, and had known Donna for years, since Sophie was little
- You helped Sophie become good at drawing and painting
- And you just became a part of their little family
- Although Donna and Sophie still spend a lot of thing alone together, you don’t mind
- Dancing and singing all the time obvs
- You help Donna around the island, help her with renovating the hotel
- You remind her to take one day at a time
- You’ve painted the hotel a number of times, painted Donna and Sophie
- She loves it
- You have a lot of fun
- Sophie and you always team up against Donna
- Play little pranks on her
- When Sophie was younger, you’d tell her stories about the world and paint an image of what her world might look like
- The love Donna has for her daughter is so beautiful
- Donna often worries about how empty she will feel once Sophie leaves
- If she does
Jane Adler
Tumblr media
- Oh my god
- You are her experiment bunny for her new recipes
- She always tests new things in the kitchen
- And you are her critic for tasting
- She loves you dearly
- She loves how well you get on with her kids
- She was worried about the slight age gap
- How her children would react
- But they love you
- You’re a little older than her oldest
- So she doesn’t fell that bad, but still it’s different
- She kicks you out of the house when she has her dinner parties with her girls friends
- She gossips about you to them obvs
- One of her friends always tries to get her to talk about you in the bed
- Because Jane suddenly has so much energy she bakes three pies for one night
- Jane just smirks and doesn’t say a word
- Whenever Jane can’t sleep, she makes ice cream so your freezer is FILLED with ice cream
- You are left to eat it
- Not that you’re complaining, it’s the best thing ever
- Many late nights up
- Watching movies
- Taking baths together
- Getting high accidentally together
- That’s some funny shit
- Really
- She accidentally bought pot brownies
- The most hilarious thing ever HAHAH
- If you look away from the whole plot of the movie, but still stay on track
- She never slept with Jack
- She slept with you weeks before and you became a thing
- You filled the empty house with your laughter and her own and she doesn’t feel so alone anymore
The Witch
Tumblr media
- Well this is difficult
- Because you don’t technically “live” together
- And you’re not really together together either
- But when the plot happens, and she turn’s beautiful again
- Suddenly something happens
- You find yourself attracted to the witch you were told to fear
- She knows
- Of course she knows
- She enjoys feeling attractive, longed for, and everything once again
- When the big lady giant comes down from the sky, and she loses her daughter she seeks you
- Not for comfort
- But to release pent up anger for Rapunzel
- She knows she’ll come back
- Of course she will
- But seeing you tremble before her is too good to just let pass by
- So you become her little thing
- And then when the plot continues
- You were a friend of the bakers
- Everyone goes against the witch except you
- And oh how she enjoys it
- She’s seducing you
- She knows she doesn’t love you
- She loves her daughter
- But you’re a good distraction
- In the middle of all chaos she finds you by a tree as she’s looking for the boy
- Sneaks up on you
- Has a little fun riling you up only to be caught by the bakers and everyone else
- Whoops
- Your little secret is out
- Last Midnight
- And suddenly she’s gone

Sorry you guys
I feel bad for all of those Imagine Dragons fans who logged on to Tumblr one day, went to the Dan Reynolds tag, and saw it completely flooded with this dude:
Tumblr media
Instead of, yknow, hot singer dude who always has his shirt off for some reason.
So.. hey! Sorry for any confusion we caused, so here's some Backstory on the guy you see right in front of you:
Dan Reynolds is a side character in Team Starkid's Hatchetverse. He's Hatchetfield's (the town it takes place in) local news anchor, along with his partner Donna Daggit. He is played by Joey Richter (you might know him from Henry Danger). The Hatchetverse is a series of media created by Team Starkid (a theatre troupe who are The creators of A Very Potter Musical, which jumpstarted Darren Criss's career). It includes 3 musicals: The Guy who Didn't like Musicals, Black Friday, and Nerdy Prudes must Die. The last one is what jumpstarted all the memes thanks to Dan's famous quote: "I am Dan Reynolds," Which was delivered hilariously by Joey Richter, prompting the Starkid fandom to meme on it. Along with the 3 musicals, Team starkid has also released a web series on the tiny town of Hatchetfield during the pandemic, titled Nightmare Time. If you're a fan of Lovecraftian like horror, I recommend you check out The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals and the other Hatchetfield content after that! It's all available for free on YouTube!
And for all of you starkid fans who has no idea who hot shirtless Dan Reynolds is, well I don't know either, so here's a screenshot from Wikipedia!

I hope this cleared up confusion for fans on either side!

I am cackling at the Just Vibes addition and coming here cause I have too much to say for a comment:
"What the Fuck Qui-Gon" - something 3 groups of mandalorians AND all the Jedi corps agree with as well as any sith that'd meet him
"Jango, still partially under sedation, manages to send out one Comm" - I am now picturing that Doctor Who scene where the Doctor and Donna just keep missing each other and it's freaking hilarious except instead of 2 sassy people it's a dazed Jango somehow just avoiding all the Kaminoans long enough to get to a comm station, half by accident.
Tumblr media
"develops a habit of being whatever gender will irritate Xanatos at any given point of time" - Xanatos What Did You DO?????
"Xanatos is still more Fallen than not" - how does that work? Is it like, morally dubious character but less homicidal?
Any way that my rambles those posts are really funny!
Thank you so much, I had a blast writing this idea as noted by the fact that the ideas kept coming. 
I do like the idea that every adult, and most children, who meets Qui Gon goes WTF and falls into baffled rage.  The man is just a bit too connected to the universe at large and forgets that not everyone gets all the secrets whispered to him in dead languages. 
For Jango I pictured him sitting up, still half unconscious slapping vaguely at the comm in his Vambrace, getting out 1 message and keeling back over, but I like your version just as much. 
Xanatos was Xanatos, even when not deliberately evil he is arrogant and irritating. Also Fordo, being in a relationship with Feemor, gets Feemor’s view of Xantos (the long suffering older brother who was disowned because Xanatos made bad choices). Frankly Fordo would do the same for Qui Gon, if anyone thought Qui Gon would even notice (Qui Gon never fails to correctly gender Fordo, even the few times that Fordo straight up made up a gender). 
Qui Gon, Feemore, and Xanatos need…so much therapy that they are avoiding. 
Xanatos is still amoral, drawing on the dark side of the Force (I am sticking with the idea the Dark Side is selfishness, so Xanatos’s priorities are: his own needs; his own wants; the needs of people he likes (Primarily Obi Wan and the Young, though late Komari and Shmi rate too) as long as it does not go against his own needs; the wants of people he likes if it does not inconvenience him too much; The wants and needs of everyone else as long as he gets something out of it).  
Once he bonded closely enough with Obi Wan, one of Xanatos’s wants is for Obi Wan to be happy (this is why he tries to find a different Master for Obi Wan, so he can kill Qui Gon in peace). The years of leading Qui Gon around, his situationship with Komari, and later Shmi, and the sheer amount of people he gets to complain about Qui Gon to drain his hatred of Qui Gon enough that he no longer wants specifically to kill him combined with the fact that there are more people he wants to be happy means that he is not out enslaving children or killing people for insulting him. So he becomes much more stable, though still much more willing to commit violence and use underhanded methods than anyone is comfortable with.

Your character is Major Charles Emerson Winchester III.
THANK YOU FOR THE ASKKK !!!!! 🫶🫶🫶
1. Why do you like or dislike this character?
— first of all i just think that charles is hilarious . he’s just so ridiculous and so out of place at the 4077th that it can’t not be comical 😭😭 second of all i just think he’s brilliantly layered , he goes through a lot of growth and learns , even if he’s not always outwardly admitting about it . i like that he is more or less insufferable at times . it makes him a unique character
2. Favorite canon thing about this character?
— that he used to have a stutter and when he grew up ( its assumed ) he became a prominent lecturer . idk it’s sweet to think he could do something small that he probably didn’t think he would be able to do as a kid
12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?
— i know i mentioned this before but my favorite is that he has conversations , or vents , with the stray dogs around camp . i also think he’s the only one in camp who can peel oranges without getting juice all over the place so people take him his oranges and he is VERY focused to peel them perfectly
15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)
— always a sucker for charles/donna , they were just sweet . but charhawk is intriguing enough to be a close second
16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?
— frankly i just don’t see the charbeej hype and it’s NOT BECAUSE i have anything against bj i just don’t see any romantic potential there whatsoever

Dick Grayson!
thank you. i am currently in the pit about him.
Headcanon A:  realistic
Dick isn't a big physical possessions guy, with two exceptions: he likes nice clothes, and he has a million photos. One birthday Donna gets him a polaroid camera and they're all over his fridge now. (Don't @ me about Discowing that was what was fashionable at the time!)
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
Dick is good at technology with the exception of civilian phones, which he is so laughably bad at that it seems like maybe he's been cursed? Every message he sends is absolutely riddled with typos. He cannot make group chats work for him. Every other week he is accidentally sending a four-minute voice memo that's just him doing the dishes. Tim has offered to help. Steph has offered to help. Babs has offered to help. this is hilarious to everyone involved, because Dick has been using the Batcomputer since he was 10.
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
When Bruce comes back from the dead, Dick lets Damian go. Of course he does. Damian is Bruce's son, and he loves Bruce with the fierce and unsuspicious love of a kid who's yet to be disappointed by his father. Dick doesn't get to keep him. That wouldn't be fair to any of them.
But a year later when he's holding Damian's body he can't stop thinking that he didn't even try.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
so my dick grayson comics read was the first character read i did for comics, before i started taking screencaps of things (way back last october or november!) which means my memory of what is actually canon is... fuzzy. also he's been around for 50 years so I'm afraid of saying something that for real happened. my easiest answer is just: he would not be a cop. he wouldn't! he would not.
(send me a character!)

Titan Evil Arcs Ranked
14. Roy - No one liked Roy’s evil arc. You didn’t like it, I didn’t like it, Roy didn’t like it, it erased all his characterization and put him on a path he hasn’t recovered from since. NOT ONLY THAT but
he was retconned with the worst anti-hero backstory possible. Yes, of course Roy Harper would be so want to “surpass Oliver Queen” that he would create a mercenary team called “Iron Rule” and then murder his own team bc they killed people. Also that stupid cap I hate it. This arc was character, fashion and competency assassination at the same time. Thanks Lobdell. 
13. Garth - He doesn’t really turn evil, he just gets brainwashed and zombified a little. Personally, I think Garth deserves a little bit of time to go apeshit, but his arcs so far of getting murdered and zombified by his dead wife and girlfriend and getting brainwashed by his Scottish  water evil spirit girlfriend are not it. 12. Gar - Went crazy for some reason, became a really gross throw up monster, whatever, no one remembers it, he figures out how to be sane eventually Dick didn’t even let Gar figure his stuff out he needed to announce his wedding instead. 11. Lilith - Imagine getting rebooted into the new 52 just to be a minion torturing victims with your mental powers before a ripoff hunger games starring a ripped off young justice, but also it was just a dream. idk I wasn’t paying attention. 10. Terry - we all knew there was something up with him tbh the evil arc wasn’t a surprise. He’s only this high because I find it hilarious that dc made Mav Wolfman’s self insert get a restraining order for Donna so she couldn’t see her son, immediately got killed in a car crash with said son and then just come back in increasingly graphic evil dream sequences. Don’t write your self-insert into comics, kids. 9. Kory - She gets to look cool when she’s evil but that’s it. Got killed by her sister in JLO and she wasn’t even her own evil person! She was taken over by Darkseid. Slightly cooler in flashpoint but didn’t even get to shine cause she got killed in a gasoline explosion :///. She can explode into a supernova I feel like she should be more powerful when she’s evil! 8. Wally -  Yes, he manipulated the entire justice league and framed innocents for a murder he committed, and yes he watched every single superheroes trauma therapy confessions, at least when he murdered Roy he put their dead bodies together bc friends. 7. Joey  - Listen, no one liked Titans Hunt, You didn’t like Titans Hunt, none of the Titans liked Titans hunt. Joey wasn’t even in control of him being evil and he kidnapped all the titans and kills a bunch of them, doesn’t even succeed in taking over the world and he does with an evil organization it in matching fur suits!? There are better ways to come out as a furry, Joey. At least Gar doesn’t make all his EVERYONE wear the same fur suits. Points for the homoerotic tension with Dick tho I guess. Also the idea of him having the trauma of everyone he possessed could have been cool but they bombed it so rip. 6. Hank - Listen, listen, I know the monarch story line is dumb as shit and a retcon because dc was mad everyone figured out who monarch was supposed to be but I can’t help it its so funny. fr imagine you’re Hawk, your brother and crime fighting partner is dead, as a result you get blacklisted in twelve countries because you keep beating people up. You get a new crime-fighting partner that is able to stop you from getting blacklisted in more countries, a villain named  monarch seemingly kills her. You kill the villain, SIKE! It turns out you were monarch the entire time! Time to be evil, I guess. You join Hal Jordan because he’s vibing as Parallax and then you create an alternate dimension in order to train a fake version of the titans as sleeper agent assassins for the time crisis or whatever idk. You find Terra alive and you just add her to the team?? You brainwash some dude into thinking he’s Dick Grayson to be the leader of the team for some reason even tho u hate Dick Grayson???? You use time travel to populate your team with a bunch of OCs and a vampire??? I’M SORRY HES SO FUNNY!! 5. Sure, Donna may have tried to murder all the titans (Wasn’t cool that she suffocated Karen in her hospital bed), but she’s immortal and she was having a bad day, she deserves it. Plus she acknowledges it’s because she loved them all so much  she had to kill them so she wouldn't get too attached to her friends. She also had the arc where they retconned her as evil in Wonder Woman back before ntt was canon again we don’t talk about that. 4. Dick - Pretty successful Elseworld evil arcs, good villainy, he knows how to pull it off but one big problem. Every time he’s evil, he’s so mean to his friends! In New Order he takes over the world and creates a new world order. Stephanie and Tim get like a suburban house and chill life and what the titans just have to fight the resistance against him? And then he asks them for help??? And in the vampire universe he just takes Kory captive for her blood. Dick, c’mon. Take an example from Raven, she wanted to rule with the titans as the seven sins. Or at least Wally who lay his dead body next to Roy’s bc Titans forever <3. 3. Tara - Got a pep talk from Dick Grayson, destroyed the entire world 20/10 iconic. She just needed a bit of self esteem 2. Demon raven, icon, many arcs, most of them bangers, crashed a wedding like an icon, slowly became evil bc George forgot what her forehead looked like, ect. She can pull it all off! The only reason its not number one in the list is that’s it’s done enough that writers are bad at it sometimes. And yet! they haven’t even touched on half of the excited concepts that could have come from this. Demon Raven ruling a dimension with Trigon? Maybe backstabbing Trigon? Demon Raven still wanting to save her friends or maybe destroy them? raven grappling with what she’s done with Demon Raven? An examination of what part of Raven feeds into her demon side? GUYS COME ON 1. Vic - Showstopping, incredible! Vic losing his humanity and wanted to protect the people he cared the most to regain that humanity again .... so beautiful. Giving the titans all they wanted! Giving Garth that weird mix of girlfriends in one person and Dick Batman saying he’s proud of him and Donna her child again  it wasn’t perfect but he was trying so hard.  So what if he destroyed the moon a little bit in the process, these things are messy. Plus he did it 11 years before despicable me. What a trailblazer.

After seeing your Dan and Donna hcs I honestly wanna see a drabble with the concept of the relationship being polled and debated if you haven't already because that's just hilarious
That is absolutely hilarious, it would be my absolute pleasure!!
Tumblr media
Donna arrived in the green room late. That wasn't entirely unusual; she came from further and she was in the habit of collecting coffee for herself and Dan on the way in. This time around, there was a telling grin on her face, that made Dan raise an eyebrow curiously. "you're looking... Awake. What is it?"
"Does it have to be anything?" She answered, taking his coffee from the cardboard holder and passing it off to him.
"Well, no..." he answered as his fingers laced around the cup, "but nobody's ever this alive at," he checked his watch, "5:40 in the morning."
"Okay, okay, you got me there. They're at it again!"
"Huh?" It took him a moment to compute what that meant, but really, Donna didn't have to elaborate on it. This was the third time someone had tried to host an online poll to decide "once and for all" whether he and Donna were really in a relationship or not. They'd been co-workers for years, and someone had once said that the most telling sign was that he looked at her like she'd hung the moon, which was near enough true as far as those things went.
Donna inspected her engagement ring while Dan chuckled to himself, twisting it one way and then the other. She didn't have to live so far away for long. As soon as the two of them could find a spare weekend, she was going to up sticks and move in with him. Frankly, she couldn't wait for that day to come, whenever that would be.
"What's the verdict so far?" Dan asked, drawing her back into the moment. "Do they think we're together or not?"
"You remember the one from the first poll who was absolutely convinced we were divorced?"
"Oh yeah?"
"They're back. We're still divorced, apparently."
Dan laughed. Younger people got divorced, sure, but he was barely into his thirties, and that barely seemed like enough time to have experienced life, let alone been married and divorced. "Before we even get married? Where's the fun in that?"
"You should see how many people have told them how wrong they are... You wouldn't expect this much detail from a university dissertation!"
That only made him laugh harder, through the sheer force of thinking about what the comment section of that poll actually looked like.
They were interrupted by a swift knock on the door, and a runner poked her head through as Dan took a lengthy sip of his coffee.
"Morning! Just so you know, you're on in fifteen!"
"Thanks, Ellen." Donna turned to her with a smile, and then before she could leave, she added, "is Dave here yet?"
"Media Dave or lighting Dave?"
"Media Dave."
"He just got here. Why?"
Donna tried to keep herself from laughing. "Could you tell him to look at the polls and come by, if he can?"
Just like Dan, Ellen didn't have to think too much about it either. Everyone at the Hatchetfield news station knew about the time-honored tradition of the internet trying to decide whether or not Dan and Donna were together. Some of them voted, and reading the comments in the break room had become something of a passion among the crew. She nodded dutifully, and the news anchors hears her laughing as she disappeared down the corridor.
"Fifteen minutes," Donna took a sip of her own coffee. "How are we supposed to go about without knowing whether they think we're married! I need to know, Dan!"
"What d'you think, Donna? Do you think the reporters for the morning news are together? Apart? What's their deal?" Dan teased, leaning back against the couch and trying not to let that shit eating grin take over.
"I dunno, Dan, but there's something going on there, right?"
"Hmmm, no I think the divorce guy is onto something..."
Dave from media came running down the corridor, and Dan and Donna heard him try to stifle a laugh as he opened the door to the green room. "Mornin'... Ellen said you wanted to know what the people thought?"
"You already know what this is about," Dan smirked, a knowing raise of the eyebrows to follow. "And I'm guessing you've already seen it?"
"Seen it, Dan? I've been following it all morning!"
"Where's it at right now?"
"38 on you guys are separated, the other 62 on some kind of relationship... I swear, last time someone did this they all got convinced you were exes?"
"They did," Donna laughed, "but it's way funnier if they can't make their minds up! You couldn't... Vote for us while we're on air, could you?"
Donna had been known to participate too. The crew knew it, but nobody else did. Normally, she picked whichever side was winning and let the results speak for themselves. When people found out the first time— when Donna had been among the masses that thought they were together— Hatchetfield's social media scene went crazy. She told Dan she wanted to mess with them, but then she'd asked him out on their first date, and the rest was history.
Dave perked a little, a smile growing on his face. "What's your stance this time?"
"I think Dan's onto something with the whole divorced thing....."

i have never found fak less charming than i do now. yikes
"do you think donna's gonna do something crazy?" donna being mrs. berzatto's name i'm guessing (mulaney calls her "Auntie Dee")? yeah she is.
nat trying to enlist carmy in getting rid of the alcohol and carmy is like "i have no idea i'm doing six things no one look at me"
the history of nat's nickname is so...mundane? like...we've all mixed up salt/sugar before. not in gravy, mind, but i don't make a lot of italian gravy. traditional gravy (meat drippings + roux)? yeah. not italian.
cousin steve going in on the baseball card racket b/c it sounds hilarious to him is the most relatable thing i've ever seen on tv. like it's not gonna end well but boy is it gonna be worth his money for the entertainment
gosh in every carmy/mikey scene every line of dialogue is a painful reminder of carmy's "i just wanted him to say good job!" from 1X08.
"i don't need you acting all nice if you don't give a f//k" that's carmy, down to his bones. it's why he said nat was being gross when she pulled the Small Innocent Little Girl act on cicero. carmy lies, dodges, represses, stays out of stuff, sure. but when people ask him what he thinks, he tells them. and he doesn't want people to be nice to him if they actually don't care.
carmy wants to be loved so badly, wants to be loved without having to ask for it or claw it out of people. it hurts really, really bad. exquisitely acted.
gift giving! he has a knack for it -- the knife to tina is the most recent example, but very few people to give to right now. the drawing is so lovely, and carmy looks so boyish and happy when mikey says he loves it
oh mikey. he looks so lost and so unhappy and so worried when he's by himself. he's not doing well and he hides it through loud bravado, and especially looks like he hides it from carmy. the beef is a mess right now, and i think he knows he probably won't be around to open that restaurant with carmy. but his note makes even more sense now, as does the money. it really was the gift he felt like he could give. i'm hard on mikey as an older sibling, but he's got his own stuff he's dealing with on top of everything, and it really shows sometimes
this family is so full of desperately sick, unhappy, unhealthy people. and it seems like when they congregate, it just gets worse.
mikey's trying to set carmy up for life, in the role of father figure/older brother -- skills, money, even a romantic partner. but none of it is what carmy actually needs, present day.
"is it possible that you're the asshole" cousin steve can you come back we need your insights. i feel like him, syd, and pete would be Buddies
kind, sensitive, devoted, altruistic, empathetic, and commonly known to be adept at grieving -- characteristics of bears? characteristics of our titular Bear?
mikey sneaking out in full Joseph of Bethlehem regalia, richie noticing
cousin steve do not get eaten by the jaguar
i love when normalish people interact with Berzatto Insanity (like my beloved pete! where is pete? did nat not meet him yet?) and it's like...oh they're in another realm. right.
"no one lifts a finger to help me" as nat is down on her knees cleaning up. yikes.
suicide threats. wonderful. yeah i'm going back to the armchair diagnosis of HPD. my gosh.
RUN COUSIN STEVE that was hysterical
that is a hug that nat very much needed. thank you cousin steve
oh no what's donna gonna do. i know it's not gonna be suicide but it's def gonna be a Spectacle, and prolly traumatic

Headcanon A:  realistic
Dick is a world-class athlete, arguably one of the top 5 (non-meta) hand-to-hand fighters in the world, a math genius, speaks at least 12 languages (this is canon! See the Ric Grayson arc), etc., etc. As a teen raised by Batman he was insecure and felt like he had to prove himself constantly by letting everyone know how awesome he is. Now that he’s older, in his mid-to-late twenties, he’s low-key embarrassed about it and usually doesn’t mention his skills. Jason knows, because when he was first adopted Dick was at his most insecure and show-offy, but Tim and his other siblings (and the younger heroes) have no idea of what he’s capable of. Every once in a while he’ll do something (like beat Batman in a fight, thanks Gotham Wars!) that shocks them and makes them wonder what else he’s hiding. Damian isn’t surprised, though. He knows that Grayson is acceptably competent as Batman or Nightwing.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
Between Gotham, Bludhaven, his many teams, Spyral, solo time, etc., Dick has had an insane amount of crazy adventures, and everyone knows a different set. So when he gets together with a group and they start to reminisce, everyone thinks everyone else is just making the stories up. (Example: Bruce: “You were such a difficult teen. Remember when you ran away and joined ISIS?” Dick: “We’ve had this conversation, B, that was all CIA propaganda, we were just freedom fighters.” Batfamily: WTF) (Another example: Donna: “So, you know how Dick is a Kazakhstani folk hero?” Other Titans: WTF)
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
Bruce loves all his kids, for a given value of love, but Dick is absolutely his favorite. Partly because he raised him from the youngest age, but mainly because Dick has always been able to read him so well and accommodate himself to whatever Bruce needs in a given moment. Dick understands what Bruce is feeling and will bend over backwards to be whatever he needs: a cheerful supporter, a scapegoat, a competent partner, etc. Also, Bruce knows that whatever mistake he makes, Dick will always forgive him without him having to apologize. Because he cares so much about Dick, he views him much more as an extension of himself than he does with the other batkids. That’s why he’s so harsh, critical and demanding with him: because that’s also how Bruce acts toward himself.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
I know it’s not canon, but ever since I read the fic “Declensions,” I firmly believe in my heart that Dick’s first language is Turkmen.

Wham, Glam, Thank You Mam…
Kerrang 910, June 29 2002
The unmasked Joey Jordison’s Murderdolls are not Slipknot Mark II. Can you imagine the Clown wearing make-up and stack-heels?...
Oh Kerrang, we absolutely can... but that's not the point here
Words: Joshua Sindell Photos: P R Brown, Lisa Johnson
(drive link)
In a dimly lit room at the Sunset Marquis hotel, five heavily mascara’d men in black leather, each with immaculately back-combed hair, pose and purse their lips for a photographer’s lens. Only a single white curtain against the window protects their pale skin from the outside sun’s piercing rays. Last night’s expedition to famed strip club Crazy Girls has left some of them feeling bleary and achy, but, as the band Junkyard once sang so sagely, ‘That’s life in Hollywood’. Yes, this is LA, the home of all things tawdry and torrid, where giants in spandex so famously used to stride down the Strip. But this is not 1986. These events are happening in June of 2002. And one of these pouting prima donnas happens to be a member of Slipknot.
Murderdolls are the new baby of Joey Jordison – Slipknot’s diminutive drummer – but in stark contrast to his unrelentingly intense day job, their music is a trashy pastiche of glam-rock, New York punk circa 1977, schlock-horror, and heavy metal. Jordison has swapped his mask for make-up and his sticks for a guitar, and has created a band that embody practically everything you don’t ever hear on the radio these days. Alongside him are Static-X guitarist Tripp Eisen, singer Wednesday 13 who previously fronted the Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13 and two friends of Tripp from LA – bassist Erik Griffin and appropriately-named drummer Ben Graves.
Just one listen to the Murderdolls’ debut album will be enough to have a legion of Slipknot fans chomping on their home-made boiler suits in confusion. Cheesy songs about grave robbing? Tributes to ‘The Exorcist’’s possessed devil-doll Linda Blair? Zombies? Mad scientists? Ghouls? What the hell is going on?
Jordison, barely five-foot-five even in his new stack heels, allows himself a sly smile.
“This is so far removed from Slipknot that it’s actually the best thing about it,” he says. “When we play, it’s just so fucking funny. We’re very serious about not being serious.”
To change gears from the testosterone-filled, uncontrolled anger of ‘Iowa’ to the sexually charged grind of Murderdolls is certainly something of a role-reversal. Butt Tripp Eisen, who, like Jordison, is also on shore leave from his day job, finds the turn-around almost hilarious.
“It’s kind of like being bisexual,” he jokes. “You’re doing a guy for now, but you’re not giving up on the ‘girl’ thing.”
The seeds of this project were sown years ago, in the mind and garage of Joey Jordison, under the name The Rejects. This was long before Slipknot and nu-metal’s all-conquering domination of the rock scene. The Rejects would eventually morph into Murderdolls, and to Joey, this is no mere side-project.
“I just feel that there’s no point in doing anything that’s even remotely similar to Slipknot,” he reasons, seated at a small table inside the cool, dark hotel room. “For me, it’s a chance to play guitar, which I played long before I played drums.”
Murderdolls began to become more than just a figment of Joey’s imagination three years ago when Slipknot toured with New Yorkers Dope, who had Eisen in their line-up at the time. The two bonded over a mutual love of such bands as Manowar, The Ramones and The Plasmatics.
“I had spent my whole life being kind of a glam guy, but also digging the heavy, heavy music,” says Tripp, a soft-spoken man with dreadlocks that sprout from his head like drooping asparagus. “It’s rare to find someone who can relate to both, and that’s what drew me to Joey. He’s into Slayer and Twisted Sister with equal intensity, and there’s not many people like that.”
To Tripp, there’s not all that much difference between the two. Both metal and glam are escapist and theatrical in nature, and he points out that Mötley Crüe and Slayer both used pentagrams on their albums.
Together, during the off time from their respective bands, Joey and Tripp dug up some of Joey’s old Rejects songs and dusted them off. They discovered a voice in North Carolina native Wednesday 13, and he brought several of his own songs with him. Then, after the album was finished, the band’s line-up was completed by Griffin and Graves.
The record itself is an absolute blast. Roaring guitars, skull-rattling drums and sneering, screaming vocals, all set to fast-paced tunes of terror and turmoil. Imagine the Ramones, the Misfits and the Dead Boys wearing long-haired wigs and goofing on love, lust and comic books. Add to the mix a soupçon of Marilyn Manson, plus a few screaming metal electric guitar leads, and stir. What pours out ain’t pretty, but it will certainly raise some eyebrows.
Joey couldn’t be more excited at the prospect of his Slipknot fans lending Murderdolls an ear.
“Not to take anything away from Slipknot, because I love that band and I’m still very much in it. But playing the guitar is not the same as playing the drums. Wearing make-up and trashy clothes is not the same as wearing coveralls and a mask.”
But what is to become of that famed Slipknot ‘mystique’? Won’t it forever be ruined by the fact that Joey is the first of them to go mask-less? Joey downplays the importance of his decision, saying that the internet has basically removed whatever secrecy Slipknot had tried to maintain anyway.
“We meet and talk to the kids without our masks every day,” he points out. He also says that Slipknot’s singer Corey Taylor and guitarist Jim Root will soon be performing sans masks in their own side-project, Stone Sour.
“I’ve said this a million times before, but wearing the masks is what the music ‘made’ us do,” says Joey. “It was not to just hide our faces. After knowing what Kiss looked like without their make-up for so many years, when I went to see them on their reunion tour, I didn’t give a fuck if I knew what they looked like under their make-up. When I saw them in make-up, I said, ‘That’s fuckin’ Kiss’.”
Scheduling the Murderdolls sessions and upcoming tour was never an issue with Slipknot either. All of the nine members decided that their loving maggots could allow them a few months’ rest, and many of them are pursuing solo projects.
“It was a mutual decision,” says Joey, “It wasn’t like we all needed the time away from one another. I told them that I felt that this stuff was worthy of being put out on a record. I think that it’s worthy for people to see it live as well. I’ve been spinning upside-down on a drum riser for the past 10 months, and now I’m going to go jam with this other band for a while, and they were totally cool with that. They knew from the start, even before the first Slipknot record, that I was going to do this, so it was no surprise to them.”
As for the other members, this much is known. Tripp Eisen says he’s still very much a part of Static-X, who are just about ready to wrap up their touring scenario for 2002 and will immediately begin writing their third album. Singer Wednesday 13, recruited to replace Rejects singer Dizzy, is an aficionado of ‘80s glam acts like Pretty Boy Gloyd and Tuff, and claims, quite horrifically, to have the soundtrack albums to every one of Sylvester Stalone’s movies – including ‘Over The Top’ and ‘Rhinestone’. Wednesday, who speaks in a warm southern drawl, plays a big role in the band’s theme and sound. He explains the song ‘Dawn Of The Dead’.
“I’ve always loved that movie,” he says, “and I thought, ‘How great would it be to have a Quiet Riot, ‘Cum On Feel Tha Noize’-type chorus for a song like that?’.” The singer described the sound of Murderdolls as a “Frankenstein monster we stitched together.”
The two newest members are Ben and Erik, friends of Tripp’s from LA. They do not play on the record, and both were struggling musicians who felt left out by the onslaught of post-grunge blandness and down-tuned rap-rock. Secretly, they wished they’d get hired to play just this kind of balls-out rock that just didn’t seem to exist outside of their old CD collections. They were working in shops on trendy Melrose Avenue when Tripp gave them a call.
“Once we all agreed that Nikki Sixx was God, we knew they were the right guys,” observes Wednesday.
Joey is loath to describe the band’s sound as metal or punk, though clearly it has elements of both, as well as some of the more frenzied moments of Marilyn Manson’s catalogue. In particular, ‘Dead In Hollywood’ truly sounds as if the God Of Fuck was somewhere in the mix, lending a helping shout. As it turns out, Joey asked the man himself to contribute, but not on any of the songs that have turned up on the record.
“Marilyn’s a friend of mine and we’ve always helped each other out,” says Joey. “I played some guitar for him and hooked him up with a remix, which he just recently used on the ‘Resident Evil’ soundtrack. He said that he’s going to sing on one of our songs now.” Unfortunately, what with his own deadline looming shortly, Manson’s tracks – either ‘People Hate Me’ or ‘Nineteen Seventy 666’ – may have to wait until after the release of the new Manson disc.
If all this sleaze and disorderly conduct sounds a little backward thinking, it is no accident. Even Trip agrees that the ‘Dolls pay tribute to a bygone time.
“I feel that kids today don’t know about what we grew up on, and I think that we’re trying to bring the whole package to them. The Union Underground and Sinisstar are similar in the respect that they’re bringing trashy rock back, but we just feel like we can do it better.”
Wednesday speaks with an endearing confidence that borders on pride.
“Nobody’s done it to the extent that we will,” he brags. “There were bands like Buckcherry and Beautiful Creatures who were doing the whole Guns N’Roses rock thing, but nobody’s done it at the level that we’re going to.”
Without too much Slipknot business to attend to, aside from the upcoming Reading and Leeds appearances this summer, Joey is clearly basking in his new-found freedom. Returning from the bathroom after applying his make-up, he jokes that posing for photos in Slipknot is so much easier than this current Murderdolls shoot. “You just throw on a mask and make hand gestures!”
Joey says that he’s looking forward to sharing his band with the world, and playing guitar live.
“I think that we’re original, but we’re not trying to reinvent the wheel,” he muses. “I think that in Slipknot, we broke down a lot of doors. I’m very proud of that, and I’m very fulfilled there. This is just another way to keep the glass full.”
Murderdolls release their debut album, ‘Beneath (sic) The Valley Of The Murderdolls’, on August 19 via Roadrunner.
Doll Parts
Joey Jordison’s guide to his new bandmates…
Ben Graves Joey: “Again, Tripp found him. Does he look like Twiggy Ramirez? Absolutely no comment.”
Wednesday 13 Joey: “He and I wrote all the music and the lyrics together. It’s fun when we’re singing about grave robbing. It’s much more tongue-in-cheek than anything Slipknot’s ever done.”
Erik Griffin Joey: “Tripp brought him into the band. I saw a video that Tripp did of them jamming, and he looked right for the band.”
Tripp Eisen Joey: “When we met, we instantly knew that we had the same taste in music. I really love his leads on the album. Live he’s great, and he’s a great friend.”

The Star Beast
[SPOILERS AHEAD]
DOCTOR WHO SAID NONBINARY RIGHTS AND GENDER NONCONFORMING RULES!!!!!!!!
So. DoctorDonna is BACK. With a trans daughter, an absolutely wholesome husband, and a mellowed out mother!!!! What a BLAST that was, seeing her on screen again! It's what she deserves! FIFTEEN YEARS we've been asking justice for Donna Noble, and RTD delivered!!!!
(Also, is it me, or has Catherine Tate NOT aged at all?)
I'm super excited, that first special episode was awesome.
The Meep was terrifying and hilarious, even when they were being all cute, my very first reaction was "yeah, no, don't trust". Shoutout to Miriam Margolyes for the voice acting, that was perfect!
I loved that the Wrarth Warriors were so polite and official posh, with their look, it was super funny and interesting to watch and hear.
Oh, shoutout to our new UNIT liaison officer, Science Advisor 56 Shirley Anne Bingham! She sounds like the life of the party. I hope we get more of her (and her badass wheelchair).
I hope we get to see Wilf, it's so good that he's still alive, Bernard Cribbins is missed.
"Something that a male-presenting Time Lord wouldn't know to do" sent me OFF, lmao, also thank you RTD for all the references to Thirteenth, she WAS amazing and she deserves to be remembered.
Rose Noble is amazing and precious. She's going to grow up and be a brilliant, badass, amazing woman. That moment when she tells the Meep she feels lonely because she feels different hit right in the feels. Also her face when the stupid schoolboys bully her and call her deadname. [Personal aside: I argued with my mother today in amongst other things because she insists on calling me my full name version, which I don't like, instead of the diminutive, which is my chosen name - and she said "I named you Raphaelle, with the 'elle' ('she' in French, which, nope) at the end, very important", and that made me flinch so hard; please don't gender me, it's Rapha and that's it. Anyway, I'm glad to see more trans and nonbinary rep, especially in Doctor Who.]
Moving on.
If I had a nickel for every time the Doctor questioned "why this face", I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
DAVID TENNANT. Welcome back, Sir! I have to admit something: when everyone and especially people who kept shitting on Twelfth and Thirteenth got all excited about David Tennant coming back, I got a bit disheartened, because I felt (and a lot of people explicitly said) that it would overshadow and discard Capaldi's excellent work and Jodie's run, and I wasn't as excited about David as most people. BUT I gotta admit it: it is AMAZING to see David back in action as the Doctor, with the added weight of the Doctor's past three regenerations! He knows the character, he knows the history, he knows the universe, and it SHOWS. I love that he's older, wiser, grizzlier, more prudent, they got burn so many times, and yet still ridiculous, goofy, prone to fondness and kind to his bones... Yeah, that's the Doctor again.
And now onto the real star, the one true MVP... DONNA NOBLE. Most important woman in the universe. Brilliant, sassy Donna!!!! I looooove that amnesiac Donna gave away the money, and that it's the first thing she rails against when she gets all her memories back. It's just. Prime Donna stuff. All at once incredibly kind and driven to help, but also down to earth and practical. Yeah, yeah, helping others, of course, that's the priority, but also, damn it, take care of myself too, ya know? She's SO relatable!! Love that she adores her daughter and that's her calling. Remember when she felt so lost and aimless? Now she's got her objective: being a mother to an amazing daughter. Oh, and, uuuh.... Wrecking the Tardis every time she sets foot in it. Oops! Can't wait to see where they land!
Oh, oh, the Tardis! Not sure I'm a fan of the new design, tbh. Too white, too empty. I hope she's not going to stay like this too long. Pretty sure it won't, given that she's already on fire.
And on the last thing for this first episode: I do hope we're getting actual ties-in with the 60 years history...
Onto Wild Blue Yonder!

Hmm-hmm, little unedited snippet I banged out real fast! Sorry if the dialogue word choices sound off, my brain is full of fog and mist today so I’m having trouble remembering how everyone talks!
Anyway, here’s a short scene for Donna in the TARDIS with 12 and Bill! I just love the idea of all of them together, and finally got inspiration! I’m imagining this taking place after an adventure where Bill and Donna meet for the first time, and something happens to get Bill down.
~~~
Donna looked right into the eyes of the young adult who had taken a seat on the console room stairs and gave her the most no-nonsense, completely self-assured expression she could muster up. "Oh, don't you worry, we'll get you a man. Hell, we'll get you one before I get one, if we can."
Bill winced instinctively. "Actually, I'm... not particularly interested in men." She wanted to avert her gaze, but this was her Doctor's TARDIS, and she wouldn't cow, even for one of his old friends. She didn't see the Doctor rolling his eyes.
"Oh thank God, most of them are shite."
Bill couldn't help it- she broke out into a surprised grin. This was the best-case scenario, the one she had been hoping for.
But Donna wasn't finished. "So, girls, then? Or aliens? Kids are into aliens these days, right? Or both! Alien women, like in Star Trek!"
The Doctor was staring very intently at a screen on the main console. He wished he had his sunglasses.
"Oi! Spaceman!" Donna whipped around to face him, and he straightened up and tried to look professional. Bill, who was experiencing whiplash, managed to note he was struggling to contain both amusement and a little bit of fear. Too deep in shock to say anything, Bill instead briefly wondered just how powerful Donna was to inspire that sort of reaction.
"Yes, Donna?" he asked, quirking an infamous eyebrow despite knowing exactly what she was going to ask.
"What planets are out there with people on them that work with humans, romantically?" Donna paused for a moment, looking back over her shoulder at Bill. "Do you want them to work in all the other ways, too...? Yeaaaah, of course you do. You're young and you need fun." She turned back to scrutinize the stone-faced space Scotsman. "Well?"
He took his chance to egg on his old companion. "Donna, why exactly do you think I know anything about romance? You remember how the last bout ended, don't you? Well, I mean now you remember, of course you had forgotten be-" he cut himself off when he took notice of the glower, made more threatening by the low lights of the console room. "Sorry."
She didn't lighten up. "Yes, I do remember that a clone of yourself went off to live a long and happy life with Rose."
The Doctor frowned. "Well-"
"I wasn't finished. You also told me that River -- remember her? -- you said that she turned out to be your wife so obviously you aren't as clueless as you always say you are." She snorted, and Bill found herself wishing she had popcorn. Or chips.
"Donna-"
"And you told me you had kids back on Gallifrey, and your granddaughter fell in love with a human!" Bill almost choked on air at that.
I wonder if his granddaughter's cute...
Donna was winding down. "So don't you tell me that you don't know anything about romance, mister! Even if you were unbelievably ungraceful after kidnapping me from my wedding." She smiled in confident triumph.
Suddenly, a laugh rang out from behind Donna. Bill had finally caught on to what was happening.
"You two are hilarious!" she choked out. "Donna, thanks but no thanks- I'll find a woman on my own." She paused. "I hadn't considered an alien girlfriend before, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to be open-minded." Bill turned to look at the Doctor, who was grinning cheekily. "And you're going to tell me about... whatever she was talking about. I can't believe you ever found the time for romance!"
The Doctor frowned. "Now what makes everybody think-"
Donna seemed to be enjoying cutting him off today. "You're welcome- I'm sure a cute and clever woman like you won't have trouble finding somebody once you're ready to start looking." She walked over to Bill's side and slung her arm over the younger woman's shoulder. "And between you and me, you've got plenty of time."
Two pairs of eyes rolled this time, although only the Scottish pair had something to say. "So, Bill, I take it you don't want to go to the planet of incredibly attractive humanoid aliens, of which all are female?" He smirked. "That's good. I'm an honorary member of the species, but it can still be a bit awkward."
Bill paused, and she could feel Donna's smile, because it was infectious. She grinned even wider. "Well, I guess it couldn't hurt to check out!"
"Oh, that's good to hear, because it looks like they're being invaded and need some help!"
Both girls' grins vanished.
"Wait-"

Finally caught up with both "The Giggle" and "The Church on Ruby Road".
The Giggle:
RTD really said "Fourteen needs therapy and time to heal, and he's gonna get it with Donna and her family."
Neil Patrick Harris as the Toymaker is alternatively hilarious and pure nightmare fuel, but this was perfect casting.
I cackled during the Toymaker’s recap of the Moffat era. I’m not a fan of the Moffat era, so that scene was hilarious to me and felt like a Take That for all the times Moffat was needlessly, maliciously petty about the RTD era and his OCs being better than RTD’s Doctors and companions.
The section with the creepy dolls and the man with his head on a life-size puppet's body. Nooo thank you. That was genuinely creepy.
The switch between the German accent and NPH’s natural American accent was great too, in a black comedy way. NPH is great at putting on a German accent, so I don't mind, and love that there were snatches of German throughout the Toymaker's dialogue. (Grammatically correct German, too, for the most part.)
The Toymaker making his entrance to UNIT with the Spice Girls was both hilarious and terrifying, and made even better by Fourteen's "you have got to be fucking kidding me with this shit" face. "First the Master dancing to Rasputin and now this, and it hasn't even been a full 24 hours."
I don't have a problem with the bi-generation, actually. Fifteen is great and I love him already, plus this gives Fourteen time to heal.
The Church on Ruby Road:
I'm liking the new companion Ruby Sunday so far. She reminds me of a mix of Rose Tyler and Sam Jones.
Fifteen in a nightclub with a white tank, long kilt, and a leather jacket? Yes, gimme.
I was half expecting “Magic Dance” to start playing when Fifteen and Ruby were on the Goblin ship, ngl.
I love Fifteen's burnt orange leather trenchcoat. And man, he is pretty. Very, very pretty.
RTD continuing to reference the Timeless Child thing, yes. Also love that Ruby was happily adopted and there's the mystery of her birth parents. She wants to know where she comes from, but that doesn't make her adopted family any less of her family, and she clearly loves her mum and gran.
Fifteen continuing the trend of the Doctor being sarcastic and sassy in danger, plus mild swearing first brought in by Nine and Ten. I love it a lot.
"I am learning the language of rope!" More of Fifteen being put in fantasy settings, thanks. I need this. (It wouldn't even be the first time. See: the novels feat Seven and Eight.)
