I was listening to that song "Space is Cool" that a fan made with Markiplier videos (what can I say, the music is really good).

And it reminded me of Danny, who's also so very in love with space.

And now I'm getting a clear mental picture of Danny full-on GUSHING about Space, in a sort of Outside POV thing.

Like, a Danny who's going to Uni in somewhere like Gotham or Star City, and got into the Astronomy club. And their "recruitment video" is just the cute freshman who adores space and will take any chance he gets to gush about it.

There's a lot of shots zoomed in on his pupils doing the cat thing of going from slits to big pools of black (like a black hole at the center of a galaxy) and his freckles start glowing in constellation patterns.

They go on an outing to the nearest Observatory, make it a sleepover thing, and sleepy Danny stretches and howls like a star, flops onto the nearest classmate and Club Member, and starts purring whenever they pet him.

He may be a meta, but they'll be damned if anyone blabbers to Batman about it.

Cue one Conner Kent coming to Gotham to tour their University, to pick where he wants to go when it's his turn next year, and find himself sitting next to Danny when he goes off on a rant about some deep space scans that caught images of Krypton before the explosion.

When asked about his opinion on the Supers, Danny, who's gotten so used to casual affections being directed towards him in the form of head scratches and hugs (they make Danny purr and light up in all kinds of patterns, so the club members do it as often as they can), pats him on the head and quietly praises Superboy for all the important work he does, and how his cloned little sister has always seen him as a mark that being a clone means nothing in the grand scheme of things, and it's who you are that counts.

Conner goes back to his parents in happy tears and with an invitation to attend Gotham U if he so chooses.

#dpxdc #bones submissions #i want an Older Danny who's so soft to the younger teen heroes #especially the ones with a darker past #he knows the struggle to make others see that you're better than what everyone thinks #Ellie melts back into her age in living yers and develops a puppy crush on Kon for being a clone and still being loved #time and therapy lead Clark to realize Superboy is an innocent kid who hasnt been alive for more than a handful of years #so they have one last screaming match #that ends with a 'i hate that i can't help but want you as my dad' 'i know. and im sorry. i want to prove to you that I can be better' #Lois made both of them go to therapy for their issues #Conner is divided between being a little in love with Danny #or afraid of introducing him to Tim and the others #joke's on him Tim is a part of the Astronomy Club #he orchestrated their meeting

Lil' comic of a scene from a fic I haven't gotten around to writing.

(basically Vi and Jinx have reconciled, Silco is alive, and Vi is begrudingly finding herself beginning to look up Silco as a mentor/father figure. She accompanies him on an errand run, one of which winds them up at the old cannery, and emotions bubble up biiig time 🥲)

#y'know the 'makings of greatness' treasure planet scene? #yeah #arcane #arcane fanart #silco #vi #drawing #this is so messy lkg #just going to call these my post-it note doodles #vi with parentification issues resenting that she wasn't the soft image of their mother that powder likely needed #and still not knowing how to work through that - especially since she feels like jinx no longer *needs* her (even though she does) #and dad silco daughter vi just #hits something man #because they *hate* each other and they have every reason to #but there's just #aughghg #so much potential for character development with them #silco and jinx is codependent central and we love it but silco and vi is the hard hitting boundary setting raging arguments and i eat it up #very much hcing that silco sees his inner child in jinx vs. his angry young adult self in vi #and both of those effect his (somewhat disastrous / sometimes okay) parenting #it's a sliding scale

this fic breaking my heart rn bc this is litchrally my whole beef with the romanticization of the sharma family dynamic at the end and nobody ever gets into it. idgaf if it was bad writing. they could’ve at least acknowledged there was a problem (LIKE they did for anthony and violet). literally a whole season of kate being neglected in 4k and then when she breaks down, just turning around and being like actually she was Imagining all of that bc SHE was insecure about not being mary’s. I Should Kill Youse .

#also when people are like kate and anthony have daddy issues. no they don’t! #their dads DIED. that’s not the same thing! #both of their brains are getting slow cooked by their mommy issues #and they ROBBED me of it with kate #bridgerton #kanthony #fic is tete a tete by caciopepebowl btw #yeah i’m still insane about them. keep scrolling 🚬 #bridgerton*

one thing about me is that i’m always thinking about the elrics being the last survivors of a dead people, born after the destruction of their civilisation. do you ever think about how they are so severed from xerxian culture, and they have no ability to reconnect with it because the people are gone? all that is left is the sand, and the desert is so cold at night

#they had issues with their dad (especially ed) but even still you can’t not wonder about a thing like that #children of ruin inherenting the rubble of a civilisation or something #ozymandias but the traveller is both foreign and far too close to home #nothing beside remains round the decay of that colossal wreck boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away #something about you don’t speak your father’s langauge and you don’t know if you want to. but you would have liked to have the choice #something about family and ghosts and the unforgiving desert sun #i don’t know where i’m going with this #edward elric #alphonse elric #fullmetal alchemist

Ouhhhh friendship I love friendship……..

#I’m reading volumes 14-16 of the ouran manga OOUGHHH MY HEART #I love this weird little friend group so much its unreal #like u have this charming sweeps you off your feet prince but he’s actually a huge lovable idiot with a kind heart and his friends #who are all misfits that he reached out to and drew in because of his kindness and own weirdness like that shits TIGHT BRO #and the trauma part where he has some deep seated issues with love bc he thinks that itll break a family apart like with his mom #how his family isnt allowed to be together because his mom and dad fell in love and how he says he wants to build a big house #so that way one day everyone will get along as a family like. all he wants is not to lose everyone and the only way to do that is #by maintaining a certain order.. he both wants a complete family so bad and doesnt want anything to sour between anyone #so he assigns each of his friends a family role based on how he sees them and YEAH its mostly played for giggles and tamakis #already weird so its his way of showing theyre close to him but. god damn this boy has LAYERS #it also feels kinda meta towards how found family tends to get thrown around to assign characters as 'siblings' or family roles instead of #using it to describe characters who are close enough to be each others family. cuz tamakis doing that EXACT THING in a way tht #ties in with his character and i have to say its fascinating using that within the story itself and its completely plausible #theres a lot of things i can say about ouran that are good bad and questionable but. god i love it when characters are niceys to each other #i remember i really liked the kyoya episode bc him and haruhi got to spend time together and their relationship isnt very close #but it was really nice to see their personalities bounce off each other. i think i also wouldve liked to see haruhi alone with kaoru #i also firmly believe all of the hosts are at least a little in love with haruhi and this can be anything like endearing romantic cuz like #who DOESNT love haruhi. kyoya i think would want to study her under a microscope like his fascination with her draws him in #but im fucking obsessed with whatever haruhi and tamaki have going on because YES hes obsessed with her YES he jumps at the chance to #put her in a cute costume but haruhi? she just fucking goes with it because she knows hes fun to be around even if hes a little wacky abt i #theyre all so. NNGGHHHH #ouran #ohshc #yapping

Thinking about 19th century courting rules today. Specifically abt Edward Little asking Crozier before proposing making his suit to Jopson

#Jopson: yeah he’s me dad but if he came in one day and was like hey fuck me hard over the wardroom table. i wouldn’t say no #little who has his own daddy issues: I think I hauve scurvy will you marry me #psychosexually normal men 💖 #but also. for serious. little asking crozier as a way to tell him how much he (crozier) means to jopson #as a promise that crozier will still be just as dear to them both in the future #as a question of his (Little’s) own worth in Crozier’s eyes #do you trust me to take care of him too? i hope so dad I mean captain #mine #the terror amc #the terror #joplittle #jopzier #thomas jopson #edward little #francis crozier #yes this is a ‘homophobia doesn’t exist’ au leave me olone #YES I know that the rules of courting would be VERY DIFFERENT in a world w/o homophobia #I am having fun in my dollhouse

Thalia who grew up idolising her father because he was so cool and her mom was nicer when he was around and even though he left sometimes he came back in the end and that’s what matters and that idolising turning to resentment as the space between visits gets longer and I realised how easy it would be for my dad to just stay in this damn place instead of flying off and everyone would be happy he wasn’t he even there when I was born and when my little brother was born why why why why and then finally the illusion breaks and I realise I’m all alone andI’ll never properly love him wait this post was about Thalia Grace wasn’t it

#Thalia grace #I relate to both of them #like me and Thalia have the same flavour of dad #Jason is my anxiety and Thalia is my rage #(daddy issues) #she’s so me #heroes of olympus #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #riordanverse #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo fandom #rick riordan

You can really when people who're both Atla and DC fans don't read comics when they compare Zutara to Dickkory and think Zuko is like Dick and that Katara is like Kory instead of the other way around

@insomniac-jay

#'b-b-but team mom and dad-'does not erase their actual personalities.also there weren't any kids in the titans in the comics so there you go #as for why it's the other way around:katara is like dick because they're both blue-coded brown characters with eldest daughter syndrome #and extremely kind and extremely mean at the same time.zuko is like kory because they were both born into royalty but taken away from it #and have anger issues and violent tendencies but good people at their core despite their flaws-there's also the emotions based fire powers #seriously fandoms obsession with gender roles when it comes to crossover comparisons genuinely gets under my skin as a trans gnc person #and the fact that i'm also autistic with a special interest in parallels dosen't help #dickkory #pro dickkory #t4t dickkory #anti zutara #dick grayson #katara #koriand'r #zuko #also gonna tag this as: #dick grayson:trans woman extrodinare #and #transmasc genderfluid kory supremacy #for personal organization #batfam #teen titans #ntt #the titans 1999 #outsiders 2003 #teen titans 2003 #atla geekery #lok #the gaang #zuko and katara #summerposting

I don’t know why I’m having this thought at 1 in the fricking morning but if Kaine or Ben had kids here’s how I think they’re lives would be as dads:

Kaine:

Is likely going to be extremely overprotective because the man has seen everything

Is likely going to love their kid as much as possible because he doesn’t want them growing up thinking they didn’t have that

Is the type to become suspicious of their kids dating life/ scare away their dates with a single stare

Likely to hold their kid during a thunderstorm

Is likely to hesitate giving “The talk”, but gets through it with success (might drink afterwards as a reward.)

Keeps away all his beverages from their kid somewhere where they can’t access them

The man snores hella loud in the night and it wakes his kid so he looks up tutorials how to fix that

The kid is gonna get his temper likely

Is likely the type to step on a LEGO piece (or other) laying on the living room floor in the middle of the night and has to swallow his yell (the only time his night vision failed him)

Actually trusts Ben to babysit their kid when he needs to go out

Bonus: Aracely gets to be an older sister figure

Ben:

Likely going to stay up all night reading stories to their kid

Spoils their kid rotten with sweets (sweets now, cavities later)

Captures everything on camera as they grow up (memories he doesn’t want to forget)

Type not to hide his emotions while watching a kids movie with them (his kid either gets embarrassed or cries with him)

Easy going, open to try new things with his kid

Plays dress up/role play

Is friendly with their kids dates (unless he feels something’s off, he’ll interrogate them)

Likely feels uncertain leaving their kid to be babysat by Kaine

Kid is likely the type to get his humor

Bonus: I don’t know why, but as he gets older he’s gonna wear those sock and sandals combo—

#suckerrambles #ben reilly #kaine parker #marvel comics #yeah I still feel sick #but this is the happiest thing I could think off #if you haven’t figured it out yet yeah I got dad issues #added a couple new ones #also I’m aware for Kaine he gets whacked in the nuts by a kid and outright he says he won’t have kids 😅 #Thats what imagination is for right? #Also the capture everything on camera is based from the Beyond comic where he loses his memories (and honestly I’m sad) #This is like if they had a kid adopted or not goes both ways #headcanons

a sneak peek for an upcoming (timeline tbd) update 😊

#holocene.txt #hlcn: story extras #consider this a thanks for the kind words on gratitude day :) #i wanna respond to everyone individually when i have time and also wax poetic about how much every comment means to me #it really does mean a lot #it's been a rough year and a very lonely year like i'm genuinely just so :/ #i lost both of my grandmothers this year very suddenly and the holidays feel empty now and i'm dealing with scary health issues #i finally had a brain mri after waiting for it to get scheduled since JUNE and now i have to wait on results and undergo some other testing #and i'm losing my mind a little because i planned a nice christmas gift for my mom and it feels ruined because the post office lost it #and my dad ruined the whole surprise of it by calling customer support on speaker phone with her in the room...and she ofc heard everything #i just wanted something nice for my mom :( she deserves it and although i have other gifts for her still it's not all what i planned #i don't mean to rant but i just wanted to add context when i say it means a lot that anyone even remotely likes my pixels #i may not know most of you very well *yet* (trying to fix that!!) but it's nice to feel a little support from somewhere :) beyond nice #and sorry for being absent a lot this year but i swear i have so much appreciation for y'all and i love you and your pixels dearly #i always feel bad like maybe it doesn't seem like i care in return bc i'm offline a lot now but i really do!! i care a lot!! love y'all xox

third one is TEENY TINY like it's only twenty seconds or so

samsee gives his friends a big introduction when they arrive at his family's restaurant

i love his outfit here, he looks so good! and his parents seem so sweet!! i was always curious about them, because changing majors multiple times is NOT Good Kid behavior, but i'm glad they seem to have a good relationship

<prev ep 08 missing bit 💚

#cooking crush the series #cooking crush missing bits #cooking crush #these characters always make me think about what it means to be a Good Asian Kid! is it just me on this?? #like dynamite is PRIME Good Kid? if you fucked up your parents would be like omg why can't you be more like dynamite from next door #but then there's ten who's openly rude to BOTH parents and it surprises me that his dad doesn't try to make him make nice with the stepmom #and idk it makes me so happy that samsee is so adored! even though he's still studying and doesn't have a job yet it's just not an issue? #probably because i never managed to be a Good Asian Kid myself and i'm a 'failure' i guess lol #but i love this for him <3

my aesthetics :

the second quarter quell generation, pt one (aka the generation with all the principal characters’ parents, and then also haymitch)

#thg #hunger games #haymitch abernathy #Katniss everdeen #Peeta mellark #maysilee donner #thgedit #okay so in order this goes #Haymitch Haymitch’s girl katniss’s parents Peeta’s parents and then the donner twins #i will make a part 2 with the characters if I can think of more than gales parents #if I can’t hazelle and her husband will be retroactively added into this one #myaesthetics #myedit #ya lit aesthetic #ya lit edit #and yeah this may be shameless promo one day for my lil 2nd quarter quell ficcy #which is why the little title for Mr E is confusing !!! because a lot of this is about my made up lore!!! his mom is Maude ivory but she #disappeared when he was a child #which is why Katniss knows nothing about her own gramma!!! #ok anyways if I ever write it all the little titles will make sense but for now they’re confusing because I made this specially for me for #my made up headcanons that make no sense to anyone else lololololol #oh oh oh also I put black eyes in both Katniss’ mom and Peeta’s mom’s edits for a reason!!! #ok so like I always interpreted it that abuse in the merchant class was more common #like what Peeta obviously went through at home was actually normalized in his circle #and it’s also implied Katniss’ mom was shunned by her parents for marrying Katniss’ dad so I figure they couldn’t have been good parents #and then Peeta’s mom Ruby also has blood on her own hands because we know she one day is abusive to her own kids so it’s like #she experienced abuse and then continues the terrible circle #but obviously Katniss’ mom lavender does not! she has other issues though but the young version is so fun to play with #also young Haymitch and his girl here would be the most judgey pretty couple #I have lots of headcanons for them some of which I’ve entwined already into at least one of my fics
