Okay but linc is such a good character??? His development this season has been amazingly consistent and COMPELLING... PLUS, hes not only a good character on his own, but the way he adds to the other teens' arcs is. so good. i think thats why hes shipped with literally almost every other teen... its because his relationships with each of them is just so unique and interesting.

#dndads #relistened to a bit of s2 and im actually so impressed with how clearly linc developed #matt is. very good at his stuff. #linc and scary have had many great emotional (AND FUNNY. SHES NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THEREEEEE) moments #linc and taylor is always hilarious- their friendship is so gay and so tight #linc and normal arent very close but they also knew each other pre canon and normal has a lot of jealously in relation to linc which #makes it kind of interesting too #Linc and hermie.... they werent friends at first but SOMEHOW THEY STILL ENDED UP W A COMPELLING RELATIONSHIP #GARAHJSSHAJSH LINCCCC my beloved

”I talked to Southgate yesterday.”

The sun is not yet up; Jamie is dutifully stretching his legs in the cold yellow of a streetlight when Roy suddenly speaks. It’s the first thing he’s said all morning, except for gruff commands of run and ten more and fucking higher, Tartt. 

“Yeah?” Switching legs to work on his other calf, Jamie tries for a casual tone, fails, and doesn’t much care. “What about?” 

Roy gives him a look: the fuck do you think? There’s no heat in it, though. Rarely is these days, and that thought is a glowing ember in Jamie’s chest, equal parts joy and amazement.  

For a moment, Roy doesn’t say anything else. Jamie completes his stretches and straightens. Waits, with heart hammering hard, hard beneath his hoodie. 

“He got in touch two years ago,” Roy finally offers, seemingly adressing the streetlight. “Before the Euros. Asked about you, what sort of player you were.” He glances at Jamie then, face carefully blank. “I told him the truth.” 

That… hurts, unexpectedly. Not because Jamie is surprised, really, or because it is unfair, because he isn’t and it’s not, but still. It stings, though not as bad as it had back then, and for different reasons. 

He wants to make a joke, say something glib to chase the taste of resigned dismay and shame away: he opens his mouth; closes it again. Looks away from Roy and is grateful that the other man seems content to leave it at that rather than going into the details of just what he’d told Southgate. Fair or not, Jamie thinks he can do without hearing it. He can imagine it well enough. 

Roy is studying him, like he’s expecting Jamie to protest or complain. It feels a little bit like a test, maybe. Jamie remains quiet. Fiddles with his sleeves for something to do with his hands as the silence grows longer and the morning colder around him.   

And perhaps it is a test after all, because after a moment Roy nods slowly before starting to talk again. “Anyway, yesterday I called him up to let him know that those things I said two years ago weren’t true anymore, and that I didn’t want any of that to be held against you now.” 

Jamie’s eyes snap to Roy’s face and he opens his mouth to speak, but Roy holds his hand up, forestalling him. “Now, I have no idea what’s going to happen so I don’t want you getting your hopes up, but I’m telling you this because if he calls I want you to be prepared, because he’ll be asking about that stupid shit you pulled, what the fuck you thought you were doing, and I need you to be on your best fucking behaviour, okay? Don’t grovel, but none of that fucking cocky bravado or defensive bullshit either. You were a prick, you understand that now, and you’ve worked fucking hard at being better. Got it?” 

Jamie nods, quickly, eagerly, because yeah, yeah, he can do that. Would probably be up for a bit of grovelling too, if it increased his chances of being called up. Fuck, he’ll say whatever he has to say, spill his whole fucking heart if need be to prove that he can be the best fucking— 

Suddenly, he frowns. Roy notices and raises his eyebrows. “What?”

“Should I… “ Jamie pauses, uncertain. “Should I tell him, you know, about me dad? I mean, if he asks why I left City to do a TV show, what do I say?” 

Roy considers that for a bit. It occurs to Jamie that Roy probably doesn’t actually know why Jamie ran out on City the way he did; Jamie certainly never told him, and he doubts Ted did either. But he can probably guess the rough shape of it anyway.

“Gareth’s a good man,” Roy offers at long last. “You want to tell him the truth, you tell him the truth, he won’t say a word. Don’t try to use it as an excuse though.” 

“I won’t,” Jamie says with a small scowl and a flash of annoyance, because when has he ever? 

Maybe Roy realizes as much, because his face softens into something almost apologetic. “I’m just saying, because I don’t want any of that old stuff getting in the way of you being called up now.“ He pauses, like he’s hesitating over whether to keep on talking or not. Settles for keep on talking, apparently, because he adds, without looking at Jamie, “You deserve it.”

Three words, and enough for the ember in his chest to roar into open flame. Jamie can feel the heat of it reach his face; gentle warmth in the February chill. “Thanks, Coach.”

--- 

The call comes two days later. Taking it has Jamie running late for training and when he finally rushes into the dressing room Roy lays into him with enough venom to make the other players carefully back away from them. Still, Jamie can’t do a thing to quell the grin on his face.

“What the fuck are you smiling at?” Roy snaps. 

“Southgate called.” He’s a little surprised to hear how dazed he sounds. Feels like he could fucking fly, but the words come out almost hushed. 

Roy immediately stills. “And?”

He should savour it, perhaps, the triumph of this moment. Take a second to marvel at the sight of Roy – Roy fucking Kent – holding his breath as he waits for an answer, but he can’t, he can’t, it’s too big, to happy, too fucking good, and he can’t hold it in. “He’s calling me up.”

concept: amphibia dating sim with the calamity trio, but if you try to pursue one of them the other two will stop you

you cannot actually get with any of them. sashannarcy solos all of you

#amphibia #marcy wu #anne boonchuy #sasha waybright #calamity trio #sashannarcy #my original thought was this would be a pre-amphibia thing but uh. thats kinda weird i think #itd probably work better w them as adults or like post canon at least #plus more funny opportunities open up w them as adults #so yeah lets go with that #you can like get close with them as friends still #like you can hang out and stuff #but if you try to flirt too much or like try to ask them out then you will be stopped #k.txt

do you think it's worked? Do you think Wade's ever tried it and waited to see if Peter would notice?

if we're still talking about wade cutting off his 🍆 so it'll grow back bigger and stronger, then yes, he's tried it.

but it was a limited time deal, only while he was back at weapon x. which is a thing that happened. in 616, and in 9319.

#sci speaks #sci talks comics #actually most of deadpool's continuity pre-2014 is canon to 9319. like. basically all of it. even the stuff that doesn't make sense. #deadpool was in the fortunate place where i had read most of his stuff before i started writing him. there's a lot less of it. #wade's lore is practically identical to comics canon! #peter's lore.. peter's lore is mix-and-match. it's parallel to 616 in a lot of ways and i'm trying to bring it closer #but a Lot Of Things are Different for him. and a lot of things haven't happened to him yet. #his lore is still kind of stuck back in late 70s era spider-man. #the miserable floating bachelor after gwen's death who's still figuring it out. #ask-spiderpool

Honestly even if I didn't care for Artihunter it is so damn refreshing to see a fandom where one of the biggest ships is two random-ass characters popularly headcanonned as girls. Its usually always twinkXtwink or two random guys no matter how focused the original source material is on girl characters. So its extremely nice to see these two creatures be one of the most popular ships having never interacted and its as a yuri couple.

#Like if it wasn't them you know it would be a five pebbles ship instead #in fact i think one of the only 'big' ships pre-downpour was NSH and 5P #And ive seen fandoms with canon main character lesbian couples take a backseat to gay men ones between literally npcs #it was dire in 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #YURI SLUG SWEEP #I could care less if its a effectively a crack ship its like finding an oasis in a desert #the desert being every other fandom #rw ship stuff

the canon i refuse to believe is that the lazarus pit brought jason todd back to life

fuck that

i know it’s the post-flashpoint canon but idgaf i hate it and i’m pretending it never happened and relying solely on batman annual #25

#worst thing is that the person who told me this insinuated i knew about the pre-flashpoint way bc of the movie #no #i have seen the movie but i��ve also read the comic #like yes tell me this stuff but don’t be condescending about it #i still refuse to accept that canon tho #jason todd #red hood #dc comics

throwback to vacation jontim bc its summer here and i wish i was swimming ;_; ;o; but also based on that headcanon that since jon grew up near the beach he's immune to swimming in cold water and stuff

important bonus:

#the magnus archives #tim stoker #jontim #jonathan sims #gotta love pre canon stuff of these two

Lawrence and Candace

I think Lawrence and Candace's relationship is severely underrated. While to a certain extent it's partially because we spend less time with just the two, but what we do see is incredibly sweet.

The first episode we really get of them together is Lawrence teaching her how to parallel park. And then driving together in a Lawrence. While he's initially nervous, he tried to not let it get it to Candace, and by the end he's having fun, and has completely confidence in her. He's really proud of her and it's clear they both mean a lot to each other. They really are father and daughter with a lot of the same expressions throughout the scene. He really is proud of her.

The second episode I can think of is with the father daughter race. They always lose, and Lawrence's laid back personality contrasts with Candace's competitive one. But while Lawrence spent most of the episode, not actually with Candace, it makes it clear just how important Candace and Lawrence's relationship to each other. Lawrence enjoys spending time with Candace. Sure Candace doesn't LIKE losing, but she's still committed to it despite her usual aversion to potentially humiliating events.

In My Sweet Ride, we have Lawrence fixing up an old car just for her. She doesn't even have her license yet. Sure, he falls asleep part of the way through. But he genuinely was like, I'm going to build a car for her. Not only that, the same one he had as a kid.

It's not like they have a perfect relationship. Candace is A LOT and Lawrence is very laid back and often doesn't really get what's going on with Candace exactly. And Candace is often annoyed and impatient with him. But it's clear they care a lot about each other and are more willing to be patient with the others eccentricities. Even when Candace is complaining about her dad's stories she's still usually, somewhat, respectful.

Now I'm going to get a little bit... fanficy but bear with me.

Now in regards to in show, the Flynn-Fletchers are meant to show a healthy blended family dynamic. While this can come in many forms in reality, in Phineas and Ferb it comes in the form of what is functionally a nuclear family. Mom, Dad and three kids. Anything outside of that isn't important and is in fact probably takes away from the message that they are just like any other family.

But that doesn't mean I don't think it's worth completely ignoring. I mean, this is where fandom comes in isn't it?

We know from a line in Skiddley Whiffers that the Flynn-Fletcher kids have known each other for at least 6 years (or since the boys were about 3 or 4, and that Ferb has lived in the US for over half his life (so since he was 4 at most). While it's not clear exactly when Ferb moved to the US, or when Lawrence and Linda got married they've been a family for a while. Ferb and Phineas have known each other most of, if not as far, back as they can remember. To them this is pretty much how it has always been. This isn't true for Candace, who is 5 years older than Phineas, who therefore probably has some memories of a time before Lawrence and Ferb. While Lawrence already had a toddler son, Candace would have been a grade school aged girl. Phineas, at the very least, is very personable and gets along well with almost anyone.

But Candace is a very anxious person, and seems to have been an anxious kid too. "When I was small the world was such a strange place", the first line of Ducky Momo is my friend tells us one of the VERY few things we know about little Candace was that part of the reason for her attachment to Ducky Momo was that Ducky Momo comforted her when she was an anxious little kid. Now, the details Flynn-Fletcher family's backstory are unimportant, but no matter how things went down its very likely that Candace did have some big "confusing" changes in her childhood based on the two things we DO know: She and Phineas are full siblings, and Lawrence and Ferb came into their lives when Phineas and Ferb were at most 4.

This is CANDACE we're talking about there is no way she wasn't anxious about something. Whether it be not trusting Lawrence, or not thinking Lawrence would like her, there is very little doubt in my mind that Candace would take a bit to be completely comfortable with Lawrence. If Phineas and Ferb wasn't, well Phineas and Ferb, it would make for some easy drama for there to be tension between Candace and Lawrence by the time of the show. Phineas and Ferb isn't that kind of show of course, but that doesn't make their relationship any less sweet.

There's no way of knowing exactly how things went down, and quite frankly I don't need the show to confirm anything to me. Whether Lawrence somehow miraculously got Little Miss Anxiety herself to immediately like him and trust that he liked her unconditionally, or if he had to earn her trust because Candace worried he would hurt her family, or that he would leave because he didn't like Candace, the result is the same. Candace could not have been an easy kid to start parenting as an elementary schooler. This is a girl who went to Mars because she thought everyone hated her, got 50 patches in one day and joined the fireside girls to see a band, read all of Sherlock Holmes in one night. She is, quite simply, A LOT. But Lawrence and Candace ended up close by the time of the series.

There is a disconnect between them. Lawrence doesn't really always understand what Candace wants (in part due to the same sort of emotional oblivious Phineas also has). But that same disconnect exists between every member of the family to a certain extent. But ultimately Lawrence and Candace ARE father and daughter. She expresses annoyance with him, but he patiently keeps trying anyway. He may not have realized she still liked her Mary MacGuffin, or that constantly losing upset her, but he still makes an effort. To Candace, Lawrence is just her somewhat embarrassing, often boring, dad. But Candace still enjoys spending time with him and the things he does for her. And he's proud of Candace and loves spending time with her too.

#phineas and ferb #candace flynn #lawrence fletcher #i love pre-series phineas and ferb stuff #I don't really expect or even want anything out of canon #(except I do think a Linda and Lawrence wedding flashback episode could be cute) #but I do think it's interesting to think about

The thing is i dont HATE the idea of Tim and Jason getting closer- getting along and being on good terms. The problem is they never developed into having a decent relationship. Tim hated Jason and then the universe reset and somehow theyre on great terms and Tim is the only family member jason can stand?? I don’t hate it in concept but the deilvery is awful

#i also hate the fanon jason and a lot of fanon tim #and the fandom tends to make them interact a lot which leads to me further disliking them #hell i even think that jason DID like tim pre 52 #he invites him to join him multiple times yknow #well outside the whole attempted murder thing #anwyays #I think it also irritates me because people focus on it instead of tims other canonical relationships #to a lesser extent tim and dicks bond #to a massive extent tims relationships with helena cass and babs #dc #spork says stuff #tim drake #jason todd
