Because I was just very kindly made aware of this because it seemingly happened a few days ago: if you see me reblog AI art, please be assured that it was an honest mistake on my side and that I don't condone that shit - at all.
I'd be more than happy to be told if that happens again because I don't want to spread AI art further.
Thank you ❤️

Thinking of Artist!Reader who knew Jason Todd before when they were younger, and had no idea what happened to him at all when they meet again years later-
And just before when they were both kids Reader used to draw him all the time too whenever reader can’t think of anything to draw, which does include color sometimes-
And I am a firm believer in blue eyed Todd first and then green eyed Todd after the Pit, so imagine reader is looking through some old sketchbooks and spots the old drawings and goes “aww I remember that—“
Before starting to realize like thirty minutes in “wait his eyes were blue? Thought they were green..”
And then when reader compares sketchbooks, reader ends up realizing that “oh shit he never wears contacts ever he told me he’d HATE those things what the f u c k happened to his eyes—“
So now reader ends up trying to find out what happened to Jason because they have a gut feeling and reader’s first instinct is to investigate and try and do it subtly bc reader does not want to pry-
So personal investigation ensues along with shenanigans, probably-

Uncommon Simon Ghost Riley (mostly for OG than Reboot) Headcanons that I find realistic.
1. Social Anxiety and Communication Issues. Simon finds it difficult to communicate with people outside his field of work, especially women. He doesn't have much experience with them and he is afraid to be perceived as a freak. However, women are usually afraid of him, sometimes curious, but keep away, feeling this sense of uneasiness, awkwardness around him. It is simply because he doesn't know how to be a so called normal person. Nothing about him is quite normal. Military has always been a significant part of his life, of him entirely. He doesn't know what to talk about or even finds civilian life boring. Every time he is on a shore leave he feels like an outsider among the locals. He keeps to himself to save himself from a conflict or an embarrassment. But if he gets comfortable enough around someone, he can be perceived as a very interesting and intelligent person. Simon usually gets rid of this anxiety by drinking. A little bit of alcohol percentage really makes him a normal person.
Tumblr media
2. Soldier intuition and reflexes. It helps him a lot and sometimes... It causes trouble. Intuition sure saves his life in tricky situations and also this same intuition makes him read the signs wrong and cause a misunderstanding, a fight or a conflict, especially around civilians. Let's say, he casually activates his fight or flight response. Not always, of course, but there are some instances that make his life a lot harder than it has to be.
3. Adrenaline addiction. He is very paranoid. Always ready for a fight. Maybe even looking for it, looking for trouble. Civilian life indeed is boring for him for this lack of adrenaline release, so sometimes he intentionally escalates situation to let out some steam, despite being a very calm person by nature. (IDK maybe that's why he still lives in Manchester, there's always trouble).
4. PTSD. Yes, he suffers from it. Especially after Brazil and Rojas. He's been tortured psychologically, physically. Beaten up, raped, buried alive with a corpse. And he fucking survived. It didn't make him stronger, it broke him. It killed something that doesn't let him step away now. This very mission has branded him, cursed him to go on and never lay down his weapon. There's no way back from battlefield for him. He has nightmares, but tries to cope with them. Most of the time he is to tired to have a very emotional reaction to such dreams. And he wears himself down to have a dreamless sleep.
5. He knows a bit of Spanish and Portuguese. And he understands when locals speak these languages, he can read and easily communicate, but he prefers to not show off this skill too much, this is a tactical decision. The less enemy knows about you, the less they're expecting.
6. Detachment from him face. He almost forgot how he looks like in the mirror, he barely looks in it. When he thinks about his face, he mostly thinks about his mask. It's a part of him now, like an another layer of skin. The skull pattern on it is an echo from the masquerade paint he had on his face during Los Muertos. He metaphorically died back there in Brazil, died in the hands of his torturers. He is shell of a man he used to be. He is Ghost now. Phantasma.
When he has to take it off, especially in civilian environment, he feels naked, unsafe. Like if he is stripped of something that makes him who he is. It's almost an equivalent for a regular person to put on a mask and hide their face. The mask IS Simon's face.
7. Emotional spectre and control of them. He has a hard time processing and understanding his emotions sometimes. He reads anger well. Despair, too. They're common. But others, more complex states are a mystery to him. Cause-and-effect relationships of his own mind are troubling time to time. He well knows what can trigger him. And when Simon understands what's bothering him, he can develop means to control it.
The struggle to read himself, however, does not affect his ability to read others, especially the enemies. He can predict what they're about to do, how they're going to react.
On the outside, he tries not to show much, but his voice reveals his emotions in critical moments: the screams, the stutter, the growl.
8. Need for affection. Like any other human being he needs attention, care, words of affirmation. He lacks it in his life. Yeah, he is on a good terms with his team, he is stoic and self-contained, but deep inside he is needy. Physical touch, emotional connection, romantic love.. he aches for it. But his logical side clearly understands that he is impossible to love. He is a troubled man. Wrecked. No one would ever want him in their life. A burden. Loving someone like him is a death sentence. So, there's this emptiness within him.
His perfect match would be someone "normal", mature and understanding. By saying "understanding" I don't mean just being able to accept him as he is, but someone having a similar experience in life, someone, who knows how to cope with trauma. And this significant other shouldn't be a "crutch" for Simon, because in my opinion such relationship wouldn't last long. It's not about fixing him, but about showing him that things can be different if he finds other means to cope with his demons than just restlessly fighting. He has to make a choice: to keep himself in that vicious bloody cycle or finally step up and take another challenge. I don't think he can actually change, but he definitely can make it work if someone believes in him.
Yes, he can hire a prostitute and let out some tension, but he will feel terrible afterwards. If, of course, he will actually be able to get intimate at all, by setting aside all the anxiety, fear and hate he has for himself . It's easier to take care of himself on his own.
Talking about sexuality. As I mentioned, he is not very experienced and he gets intimate rarely, so at first he doesn't last long at all. He can be a bit awkward, but he is never rough, since he has enough violence in his life and for him the act of making love is about tenderness. He would never want to harm or hurt his partner in any way. He is usually quiet in bed, but can be very audible from time to time when he simply cannot control himself.

I’ve seen a lot of people complain about how Gabe isn’t as bad as in the books, which valid complaint to have, but also. They had some good reasons for changing it.
You can get away with a LOT more in books than you can with visual media, because whatever you read is limited to the reader’s imagination. That’s why some notably violent kid’s books (Warrior Cats, Watership Down, etc) are still considered kid’s books. A child can still be terrified by those books, but ultimately they can only be as afraid as they are imaginative, and as long as the child is old enough to understand that fiction can’t physically hurt them, it’s fine.
But with visual media, you are only allowed that imagination if something happens offscreen. There’s a big difference between violence in words and violence visually. This is ESPECIALLY applicable to live action media, if the show came out as a cartoon then that might be a slightly different story.
Abuse isn’t fictional, they aren’t going to be as lenient with it as they might be with fantasy violence. Reading abuse isn’t as tense as actually seeing it on screen. So while Gabe’s portrayal in the book might be touching for kids with bad home lives, to have that same portrayal in the show could be potentially very triggering and scary. Remember, this is a show intended for kids.
Also, Disney can get very pissy over violence (especially violence based in reality). Most parents don’t want their kids to see realistic abuse, and if they complained enough about it, it could be a problem. Disney doesn’t like taking risks. If the show got too real, there’s a chance Disney won’t greenlight another season.
Does sanitizing Gabe’s abuse alter Percy’s and Sally’s characters, and create a mess for the Medusa plotline? Yes. Am I happy about it? No. But ultimately, I think it was one of the better options.

it's very frustrating to talk to someone who claims to know a lot about economics yet still argues that women are paid equally to men. for example, in talking about how much rebecca ferguson got paid ($500,000) vs dave bautista ($2million) in dune part 1, this person--who has only seen the first dune once--argued that it made sense dave bautista got paid more because he has a more unique physical appearance than rebecca ferguson, as if his screentime isn't minuscule compared to hers. when i pointed out that physical appearances shouldn't be how you judge how much someone gets paid (especially when that someone is one of the fucking mains of the entire movie--lady jessica is a main character, especially compared to rabban), this person said "well there must be more to it then" and i said "YES? obviously? women get paid less for more work! this is not a new phenomenon" and this person just replied "well that's bad economics" as if it's the fault of the person reporting this

In the wisest words of @bonefall: “Getting tweaked on purpose is practically the mark of a species' intelligence.” (Found HERE)
So I started looking into ways to get my fictional war kitty cats tweaked! :D
EDIT: If y’all enjoy this research, take a look at my rewrite!! I tend to dip down deep into a lot of various aspects, and end up including a lot of it into the story itself!! ^^
DISCLAIMER: Do not give any of these things to your real life pets to ingest in light of what is described below, especially not without doing research or asking the opinion of an animal healthcare professional. This guide is merely an attempt to share some fun knowledge and additional world building for a FICTIONAL society of cats. You should never try to give your real life animals things described in books or writhing unless they’ve come from people who actively know what they’re doing and have something to prove it.
LIQUIDS
SYRUPS
With the easy access that these cats have to multiple trees, the syrups that they have the ability to make aren’t just limited to maple! Various nut producing trees (walnut, heartnut, butternut, etc) boxelder, alder, birch, and pine (amongst others) are all notable for their sap, which can, of course, be turned into syrup.
Though these sorts of syrups are primarily for flavor. The syrup that these guys would mostly be looking to for some fun times would come from other sources…
Namely valerian root syrup! If catnip can be compared to marijuana, then valerian root specifically might be a bit more like phencyclidine in terms of behavior, or isobutyl nitrite (rush) via chemical effects. It is commonly used in small doses by veterinarians to treat stress and anxiety in animals.
This is probably the only thing on the liquid list that might actually be safe for cats to ingest. But I want to stress again: Do Not give your pets anything from this list; I am NOT an expert in this field.
MEADS
Mead is probably the easiest for these cats to make, should they have any sort of access to honey.
Rather than adding yeast, which can be harmful to cats alongside being quite difficult for them to get their paws on, mead is to be fermented! Natural, less harmful yeast comes from the air (room-temperature water and honey is the ideal for fermentation) or it can be added via fruits or spices.
This is not safe for irl cats, however in small amounts, or fictional feline friends can enjoy some ol’ fermented honey-and-water fun.
CIDERS
Since the cats have used the prefix “Apple-”several times, we can clearly see that they know of apples. Which in turn, I’m sure, means they have access to them.
A natural, non-harmful yeast lives on the surface of apples straight from the stem, and as soon as it’s pressed into juice, it will ferment and become alcoholic on its own when left in a contained space and at a steady temperature.
Depending on the time it’s left to it’s own devices, that will affect the taste.
Keep in mind that all of these liquids are pretty high in both natural sugars, as well as containing sugars purposefully added; excessive sugar isn’t healthy for cats, so should they be able to make these, the danger of overindulgence should be stressed.
HERBS
CATNIP
Also known as Nepeta cataria, catswort/catwort, and catmint, catnip is an herb that is most well-known for its affects on felines.
It is most commonly used as a recreational substance and has been observed to have many different effects on various cats. One-third of cats have been noted to not be affected by catnip, and it seems that the behavior is linked to genes and age, and is usually hereditary.
The herb can improve relaxation, which may reduce anxiety, restlessness, and nervousness, making it a prime option in terms of medicinal uses. For recreational uses, however, it may cause cats to act in a number of different fashions, however the most common are as follows: excessive rubbing, rolling around, pawing, licking, and chewing when exposed solely to the scent, while consumption is followed by sleepiness, anxiety, bursts of energy, drooling, purring, biting, growling or meowing loudly.
MATATABI (Silver Vine)
While catnip is the most well-known, matatabi is reportedly more potent and effective. Silver vine contains more and different compounds that cats like and respond to, and, unlike catnip, silver vine’s effects are nearly immediate and last for a much shorter amount of time.
Also unlike in catnip, matatabi is most effective outright consumed, especially in the forms of sticks! Chewing on matatabi sticks, twigs, and shoots is not only a good way for cats to still feel the effects (which are the same as catnip’s, though with a more prominent lean into relaxation and stress-relief), but also an excellent way to keep up with dental hygiene!
Alongside being a a recreational substance, matatabi also has medicinal uses! It contains a significant amount of vitamin C, and is known to lower high blood pressure and provide relief from arthritis pains. In especially large quantities, its leaves may also have a mildly hallucinogenic effect.
TATARIAN HONEYSUCKLE
Honeysuckle berries, flowers, and leaves are toxic to cats and should not be given to them under any circumstances. It is exclusively the wood part of the plant that is safe, and is most often used via scent sprays and toys.
Unlike catnip and matatabi, tatarian honeysuckle specifically has been reported to not possess the same age effective limits that it’s counterparts have. As such, it is a prime choice to stuff into toys (for our cats in question: at the center of moss balls, inside of fabric toys, stuffed into woven mats, etc), especially for younger cats.
Tartarian honeysuckle also has an extended growing season: producing leaves, flowers and berries very early on during spring, and shutting down only late into the autumnal months. It grows quickly and tall, however it is invasive and can very quickly choke out other plants should it be left to its own devices.
FOODS
MUSHROOMS
Raw mushrooms are difficult for cats to digest, so any mushrooms eaten by this guys should only be done so if they have been thoroughly cooked and softened up.
Psilocybin mushroom specifically can be used for this purpose. Some psychedelic mushrooms can also be used for medicinal purposes via treating some forms of treatment-resistant depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and other mental health disorders.
Most hallucinogenic mushrooms used for recreational purposes are toxic to pets, however. Look HERE for various listings of mushroom poisoning and toxicity, alongside any potential symptoms found in some pets for some of these mushroom poisonings.
SEEDS
Various seeds can be used and are safe in moderation for cats.
Raw, unwashed poppy seeds specifically are some of the most popular - and some we see used even in Warriors canon as medicine! The seeds are most commonly boiled and made into teas that supposedly relieve pain, while other teas are simply used in an attempt to wring out the “high” and relaxation from said poppy seeds.
BERRIES
Mulberries specifically are the only berries I’ve found that are safe for cats to ingest while also providing some sort of recreational reaction.
Ripe fruit is a nice snack for cats on occasion! The hallucinogenics come from unripened berries, mature leaves, and the white sap that they produce.
Unripe fruit may (and probably will) cause stomach discomfort, neurological system hyperactivity, and hallucinations when consumed.
Repeated Disclaimer:
DISCLAIMER: Do not give any of these things to your real life pets to ingest in light of what is described below, especially not without doing research or asking the opinion of an animal healthcare professional. This guide is merely an attempt to share some fun knowledge and additional world building for a FICTIONAL society of cats. You should never try to give your real life animals things described in books or writhing unless they’ve come from people who actively know what they’re doing and have something to prove it.

OK good lads and ladies, and all In between and betwixt, one quick note. If I don't respond to a msg, it is because I do have a life outside of this delightful site. If this irritates you, perhaps its best to end our conversation here as I do not owe any explanation on any perceived absent. If questions persist, I will wish you the best and block you. I am an adult with a full time job, personal health issues, an immediate family member with health issues. As well as 3 grumpy cats. Please respect me and I'll respect you. Good evening, Good night, and Good luck

As a kid I loved the animals and the stories of moonshiners, but going back as an adult, what made me cry was seeing a quilt that wouldn’t be out of place at my house and a fiddle that had those same iridescent bits as mine. I told my friend we’d need like two hours, and then we spent two hours in the hall of fame alone.
