#saw one in which steve was like ''no robin you don't understand! i have never been loved! i don't know how that feels like!'' #i have several grips about that interpretation #going from the fact that's not true (dustin is clearly a big steve fan + robin herself cares about him deeply) #to the fact he probably wouldn't be introspective enough to voice his emotions this concisely not to mention he'd probably wouldn't take #a moment to realize he's never felt loved if that were the case. i mean. he could think that. when he's like 35 and more in touch with his #inner world. 19yo steve can't even get the hint that hitting on a girl who's already clearly taken (nancy) is wrong so like i don't expect #him to be that smart #but i can live with people having takes i don't agree with. my opinion doesn't have to be everyone else's opinion if you see steve that way #it fine #what bothered me was the fact he was saying this to a lesbian living in the 80s lmao #who tells him that 1) her whole life has been an error 2) she doesn't think he'd want to be close to her if he truly knew her and 3) #3) is paralyzed by fear of social suicide if she dares believe for even a second that the girl she likes may like her too #like i dont need people to do deep dives into robin lore and quote from memory lines from Surviving Hawkins abt robin feeling like she's #rotten inside. not supposed to have friends. feeling like something is wrong with her and that pushes people away etc etc #the fact that she's a lesbian should tell you enough abt who has the biggest chances of being loved 😭 #also bothered me that it showed up when looking up posts abt internalized homophobia because?? where's the internalized homophobia therw #unless it's gay steve feeling bad abt it in an AU (as if canon robin didn't go through it) #like look im not bothered to find steve-centric content in the robin tag cos people are gonna tag her in posts mentioning her. #she's his friend. #but there are barely any posts at all about robin's internalized homophobia. like i saw 2 or 3. compared to all the steve or steddie ones #where's the love for my babygirl 😭😭 #anti steddie #not really but y'know i don't wanna bother anyone #edit: the bit about there being like 3 posts on robin w internalized homophobia isn't exactly true. there are a few. but they still feel #drowned in st3ddie posts #like something isn't right here

Let's be honest, and I say this with full offense, Lucerys Velaryon is the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Dance of the Dragons. He is meant to be a sacrificial lamb to kick off the entire war proper. If we had gotten a full season of development with him like we did with the younger cast in Game of Thrones, I guarantee more people would've felt something. The only reason I personally feel bad is from a baseline level of empathy, because he was a child who was placed in an unwinnable situation due to his mom being completely irresponsible with him and his brothers.

However…

The comparison between Lucerys and Aemond is no contest. Love him or hate him, Aemond has an actual personality and goals when we first meet him. There's enough dimension in Aemond as a child to showcase the potential for sympathy between him and Jace at the funeral, a scene they didn't need to put in, but they did, which emphasizes his own innocence. Even before he breaks bad fully in S1E10, he's still far more compelling to watch due to the number of scenes allocated to him and his dynamic with other people.

This is where you and I are going to disagree just a bit, because Lucerys does do something in S1E07 and S1E08. He gouges out the eye of a family member and petulantly whines that he “didn’t do anything!” when confronted with the possibility of getting in trouble for it, then years later has the nerve and complete lack of sense to giggle at the person he permanently maimed only hours after his legitimacy was publicly called into question (again) and resulted in a murder. The narrative (perhaps unintentionally) glosses over these moments in favor of portraying him as good, whereas if you read between the lines, you can see that as being an oversimplification. The problem is that because S1 was truncated, secondary characters like Lucerys don’t receive screentime dedicated to portraying anything other than a single personality trait. Unfortunately, because of his role in the text and the way it was adapted for television, there was never a chance that Lucerys would be interesting.

I don't even have anything to add, this is just objectively correct.

#personal #answered #anonymous #and yeah lucerys refusing to take any responsibility or even show a hint of remorse for what he did is so galling to me #i could never care about him after that #like first of all you were in the wrong in the fight period #aemond did nothing wrong he claimed a free dragon who let him bond with her #i get why rhaena and baela were acting irrationally upset their mother died and they're young #grief makes you act weird #jace and luke had absolutely no reason to act the way they did #like it's not your fight and also again aemond literally did nothing wrong #but because he made a nasty comment after already being yelled at for doing nothing wrong y'all decide to gang up on him #with your cousins #and then this little idiot decides to take a whole knife to someone's face and refuses to ever feel bad #luke could have KILLED aemond #aemond could have DIED #not just from the immediate wound but also any issues that arose during a really long and arduous healing process #it's why fics with luke where he feels bad or contrite don't work for me #because he literally doesn't??? #he doesn't care at all #he doesn't care he almost killed a person for no reason and left them with lifelong issues as a result of his fuck up #out here kicking his feet and giggling over maiming another human being #again vhagar eating him was too easy #he should have gotten his eye poked out first anyway #literally only feel kinda bad for rhaenyra cuz i'm neutral leaning positive towards rhaenyra and losing a child hurts #luke himself can rot i feel nothing

So I was strolling through Twitter and came across this tweet.

And it got me thinking for a minute, cause I didn’t know Luz was Afro-Latina. For an Afro-Latina, Luz’s hair is incredibly straight. I’m not saying black people, Afro-Latinos, and people of African descent can’t have naturally straight hair, BUT the majority have curly, coily, and or kinky hair.

It was also fairly weird because I found the friend of Dana’s that’s talked about in the tweet. The tweet above is absolutely right when they say they don’t look alike.

Here’s her Twitter account

She also has a tumblr by the same name as her Twitter account that’s also linked in her Twitter bio.

Which brings me to the redesign pictures that was shared around Twitter and Tiktok

I admit they look way more accurate. I personally think Luz should of had more obvious features that she was Afro-Latina. This is my opinion as someone who’s black, feel free to add your opinion.

#toh #the owl house #Afro-Latina #the owl house luz #luz noceda #I was surprised when I learned that luz was Afro-Latina #like this girl does not look like she has a hint of African descended features at all #unless Luz’s hair is magically permed and is straight forever #dana terrace #I did find one Twitter comment funny #it basically said #how are you going to make her Afro-Latina but take out the Afro? #when I tell you I had a great kiki at that #like-that’s so true #don’t know if I should tag this as discourse or not #but I’ll tag it to be safe #toh discourse #luz noceda discourse #antiblackness #I also notice she does this with Willow as well #who’s supposed to be Blasian but she’s missing the black part

i need to write more he/him 13

#yesterday i was writing fic and idk what happened but in the middle of a sentence i was like 'she' and i went 'uhh???' #like it was so immediately clearly wrong and jarring #i never have that with 13 even in the he/him fic i wrote it took a couple of sentences to get into it #i should check what the sentence was theres probably some gender bias for me to dig out there #anyway i need to find an idea for this #maybe i'll do he/she 13 where the fam isnt entirely sure what to do and the doctor wont explain anything so #everyone is just doing whatever and 13 is giggling to herself thinking of what he said to bill on the roof #waiting for someone to ask so she can brush them off with an evasive non-answer pretending she doesnt know exactly what hes doing #get more genderfucky by having her dress up in period clothes and everyone in the past (and future) is #using hints from his clothes except those gendered hints arent always the same as ppl from the 21st century would take either so #it just confuses everything more

How about 8 and possibly 23 if you feel up to it? Any characters

Prompts from here!

Wordcount: 691 + 386

Contents: For 8- Sidestep Era, a bit of a riff off of the post-nanosurge segment of Four funerals and a wake. Post-nanosurge telepathy issues at a funeral, and dodging the press. This is only barely the prompt but I got distracted, whoops.

For 23- It's fluff. It's just flystep fluff. I'm placing my hand gently on canon continuity and saying 'i don't know where this fits don't worry about it' again.

8. shielding the other one with their body 

You don’t know why you decided to go to the funeral. In-costume, everybody’s in costume, you included, Ricardo included, still favoring his arm but he’s trying not to show it because the media is here. Half funeral half pony show. Look, Los Diablos, your heroes are still standing strong, even if some of them are dead gone eaten piranhas chewing at the edges of your mind--

Watched her die in front of me--/Never going to get to make tamales together again--/wasn't even anything left, just clothes in a pile--

A twitch, as you grasp the tattered edges of your shields and pull them tighter. It doesn’t help, and you certainly aren’t taking anything stronger than advil for your pulsing headache when you have to deal with this many people.

Fuck, why had you even agreed to come to this? 

Someone’s giving a speech, but you’re too busy trying to block the chorus of grief/worry/fear from your mind. You’ve never been to a funeral. You’re really regretting being at this one, but it’d felt like you were supposed to come. 

Anathema’s somewhere behind you-- they’re sitting with Sunstream, whose mind is-- screaming, practically, and you’re trying really hard not to listen to the grief/regret/despair. Trying to just fix yourself on the sensation of Anathema’s mind, their shields. Not giving anything away, but a touchstone of outward-calm in this-- storm.

How much longer is this thing? You can’t leave, leaving early leads to questions, so you’re just-- stuck. Sitting here. Head throbbing. Barely standing against the tide of grief all around you.

It feels-- distant. You didn’t know most of these people who died, not really, not more than in passing. But you’re awash in everybody else’s perceptions, and you’ve got a migraine the size of the damned moon.

I didn’t need to know what bone looked like--/Oh god what was the last thing I said to her, I don’t remember--/idiot still owes me twenty bucks--

Time passes at a crawl. Ricardo’s in Marshal Charge mode, all business, solemn-faced. Putting on a good show. Someone's talking-- a friend or family member of one of the people this funeral's actually for. Hard to pick up the words, with your brain so loud like this. You want to crawl out of your skin and be not-you not-here. Feels like you’re wearing a coat that doesn’t fit right, too tight in the shoulders or not long enough in the sleeves. It’s not your clothes, though. It’s just you.

When you can finally leave, finally, you have to leave with everyone else. Through the front door. Where there’s reporters with cameras and questions and busy-knock-knock-poking-prodding minds. Looking for the chink in your armor so they can worm in and pry you open. And you’re masked, of course, they can’t really see you hiding inside the Sidestep costume, but something of how uncomfortable you are must show in your stance, because Ricardo bumps his good arm into you when the two of you stand to leave to get your attention.

“Stick close to me,” Ricardo says, and those words, pointed at you, words actually meant for you, you can parse. “Almost done.”

He steers you to a-- side door, instead of the main one, half-blocked from the public by the building along one side of the pathway, and the other side roped off. Even then, there’s still more people than you thought there would be-- civilians, in with the reporters, shouting questions too. An overwhelming mass of emotions and thoughts and attention, but you’re sticking to Ricardo, whose mind you can’t read and that’s a balm right now, better even than Anathema’s, because there’s no words or emotions or sensations, an island of no-meaning in an ocean of all-meaning. 

If you focus on the static hard enough, you can almost hear yourself think again. 

Ricardo’s keeping himself between you and the crowd. Really playing up Marshal Charge right now, all self-confidence and things will get better, we’ll remember their sacrifice, larger-than-life so you can-- hide in his shadow. The questions don’t get aimed at you.

You’re absurdly grateful for it.

23. carrying the other one in their arms

“Alright, let’s go,” you say, and then you sweep Daniel up, mirror to your usual situation. You might not be able to fly, but you can get a bright laugh out of Danny, and that’s sort of the same thing. 

“Where are we going?” he asks, humor still in his tone. Surprised by the role reversal, but not opposed. He obligingly loops his arms around your shoulders, leaning into you. Lighter than he should be, in your grasp. 

You lower your arms, and Daniel sinks, too, delayed by milliseconds. Like he’s surrounded by water instead of air. “What, you don’t think I can actually carry you? You’re not that heavy.” Tone deadpan enough he’s left looking for other cues, the tilt to the corner of your mouth that means this is a joke. 

“I’m sure you can,” earnest, not a hint of sarcasm in his voice or his mind. “Just-- you don’t have to.”

“C’mon, Flyboy, I’m not gonna break. If I was worried about it, you’d be over my shoulders instead. Fireman’s carry has better leverage than this.”

Objectively. You do not need to be carrying him. He floats just fine, gravity can’t get a grip on him, but you— want to. 

“No princess sweeps for Ricardo?” he asks, teasing, but he eases off the flight powers. Heavier in your arms, more— real, maybe. Not that he’s less real when he’s flying, but the weight makes him feel more concrete. Reassuring pressure.

“No. Past experience says if I have to move him with no help, he’s getting dragged. Mods.” A spark of a thought, and you grin. “I think you should princess sweep him at some point though. That’d be fun.” 

A grin back, and he glances away, before doubling back. “Hey. Are you dodging the question?”

“No.”

“Then where are we going?”

“Kitchen. I want coffee.”

“And why am I coming along?”

You give him your flattest look, and then, “Somebody’s got to work your weird coffee machine.”

“Oh, that’s the story we’re going with?”

“Yep.” Pop the p. Blasé. Never mind that it’s just a little single-cup pod coffee thing. Also never mind that you’d fixed the machine for him last week.

“I see.” He does not believe you and he’s smiling at you anyway. Letting you get away with it. "Okay, sure."
