#the horrors I witnessed

[galaxyspeaking]

“Adam finally sat down on one of the pews. Laying his cheek against the smooth back of it, he looked at Ronan. Strangely enough, Ronan belonged here, too, just as he had at the Barns.

This noisy, lush religion had created him just as much as his father's world of dreams; it seemed impossible for all of Ronan to exist in one person. Adam was beginning to realize that he hadn't known Ronan at all. Or rather, he had known part of him and assumed it was all of him. The scent of Cabeswater, all trees after rain, drifted past Adam, and he realized that while he'd been looking at Ronan, Ronan had been looking at him.”

DP x DC Prompt: The Watchlist

Batman has a watchlist. A list that contains every individual who could become a rouge and a contingency plan for if they did.  

And while they, his children, often make fun of his paranoia and him for having it, they totally understand why he did. They lived in Gotham, for Christ's sake. Where everyone’s just a pin drop away from being the city’s next big villain, forcing the bats to scratch their heads while playing cat and mouse with a sicko for a good few weeks. And while they won’t admit it, the list has helped them a few times. 

But that won’t stop them from making fun of any of the list’s new developments. Because you see, there was a new list. And it wasn’t just a watchlist. No, no, no. It was The Watchlist.

It was a new development after he and Robin went on an out-of-state mission to investigate some town in bum fuck nowhere Illinois. And it was under some pretty tight security as well, so they were expecting something good, like mad scientists or evil mayors. Not profiles of the kids who lived in the town. And while there were a few metas and vigilantes that made the list interesting, by the end of it all they just seemed to be teenagers. 

Until they saw Damian. They hadn’t seen him since he came back from the mission with B. He looked tired. Like ‘Tim hasn’t slept in a week and is surviving on just coffee beans’ tired.

“Ah, I see you all have found it. Good. A few of them will be arriving next week as they’re a part of Gotham Academy’s student exchange program. At least three of them will be staying in the manor with us. Father will need you all to be on standby and to be ready for any possible scenario. Please, for the love of all that is good, do not encourage them in any way, shape, or form. And please do not dismiss them either. The outcome of doing that will be much worse. Is there more that I should add? Yes. Will I? No, because you won’t understand. Not until you've seen what I have.” 

The demon child sighed, then looked them dead in the eyes. “Godspeed to us all.” Then walked away.

Okay, they were scared now.

it’s a horror tragedy. people are mean and uncharitable and impatient with him and don’t give him the benefit of the doubt because he is the protagonist of a horror tragedy. u are supposed to think it is tragic. dare i say u are supposed to be horrified.

#i didnt say a name but u still thought of him didnt u. #to be clear this is not in direct response to a specific post or occurrence it’s just a long term annoyance #and like! to be fair! u don’t have to like tma BECAUSE it’s a horror story. heck like it in spite of that if that’s ur taste #but there are certain conventions and plot/story features that are going to be present #and it’s not because [melanie/georgie/basira/martin] is being necessarily unreasonable #it’s almost always because he is a horror protag. bad things happen to him because technically speaking that is what we are here to #forgive the phrasing #bear witness to #anyway im not tryna attack anyone or suggest anything be Done about this it’s just a thought ive had knocking around

I think what's driving me insane about this specific arc for qcharlie is watching him slowly become more and more horrified at what's going on with the infection. he keeps brushing it off, and saying he's just going to let it run its course, and that if he has to change to be happy and to keep the people he loves safe, he'll be whatever he HAS to be.

but over the course of this stream, he's become increasingly aware and afraid of what's happening to him. his memory goes fuzzy when his body glitches out. he noticed the infection had spread even more, on his own, and quietly said "oh no." he spoke to maximus about the infection, and jumped from being relatively open about it to scrambling to change the subject when baghera asked what they were talking aboug. he started freaking out when all the glitching and the binary spread to the very land he lived on, and struggled to calm himself down.

and I think, after talking to maximus, he's realizing how much worse his infection is, even if maxo and etoiles have had theirs longer. I think, in the back of his mind, he KNOWS what's happening to him is codeflippa's fault, and that thought scares him more than the infection itself.

denial is something that charlie is very good at. but he's at the end of his rope. he has been for a long time. so I wonder how much more he can withstand before all of this just breaks him.

#he CANNOT catch a break #he CANNOT take a breather #first it was marriage problems; self-hatred; the death of his daughter; months of total isolation; falling into agonizing numbness #FINALLY starting to heal; having all of that progress ripped away from him #and now he has to witness the horror of losing HIMSELF too. #i promise you. he cant take much more of this. #qsmp #qsmp charlie slimecicle #qsmp charlie #qsmp slimecicle

you know what? thranduil deserves to drink a smidge too much wine and have a bit of a superiority complex and to be a tiny bit of a bitch. like you gotta give it to him, he’s king of a successful kingdom without the help of any sort of Ring of Power. he deserves to bring up how he's managed to defend his kingdom (that is literally right smack dab in the middle of SO much bullshit) for centuries without any help from a ring whenever he gets the chance.

#thranduil what motivates you? pure raw spite and a deep empathy only obtained by those that have witnessed The Horrors and come out alive #thranduil #lord of the rings #greenwood #mirkwood #also i get a little nervous posting anything even close to meta / analysis on lotr so sorry if something isn't quite correct pls be kind #🫶

It's always "you can't fix shane" this and "he gets worse after marriage" that, but never "I'm just a little guy designed to romance him with chili peppers"
