so fun to think about all of the places you went to when you were 17yrs old that you wouldn’t go now even with a gun

#in the middle of the forest with my location turned off bc fuck you mom #i couldn’t even go back to half the places i went bc when i was a teenager i didn’t give one shit about road names #simply knew where i was based on vibes #insane that i’m still alive #latchkey kid

okay i've just been really curious about this for a while so i wanted to make a poll about it

#i went to a babysitter's house until i was in middle school #so i can't count myself as a latchkey kid #but my middle school years being the only person in the house from the hours of 3-6 was such a gift to me. personally

Shoutout my brother who made being a latchkey kid so much better. Playing ssx tricky or tony hawk after preschool, or watching him play world of warcraft are some of my favorite memories

now, i am a huge fan of what's on the page (acknowledgment that the relationship is akin to cousins--because that's what it should be read as)

but i'm also extremely interested in the fact that the 90s/early 00s were a time where the relationship between the JL-cohort and the YJ-cohort was very distinctly non-paternal and in fact written to be quite fraternal instead as a way of hmm almost equalizing the mentor-sidekick partnership (not that suberboy, wonder girl, impulse were necessarily sidekicks in the traditional batman-robin way but they were definitely still. teenage heroes sanctioned to be working under the banner of the adult hero.)

like over in batman comics you do have the bruce-jack parallels but any sort of paternal view that bruce might have towards tim and vice versa is always explicitly denied in that era to instead focus on the brotherhood/friends/equal partners aspect and jack is tim's dad instead. (tim is always referring to bruce as his friend)

&&given the fact that batman and superman were the absolute juggernauts of the 90s i do feel like part of this is. hm. to keep that cohort "young"?? i guess. the eternal youth of batman and superman. once you start adding in stories that lean more paternal, it does age them in a way that editorial generally doesn't like. so keep them young, focus on the brotherhood aspect instead.

which also makes sense for the kid's side as well. for the teen readers who are meant to be identifying with the YJ-cohort they're not going to want them to be parented by their mentors. they want to be on that equal footing with the adults, as is common in stories for teens, to be graced with the autonomy that they're often denied in real life.

anyways i'm not sure where i'm going with this but i am interested in the fact that they started making the tim-bruce relationship more overtly paternal right around the time they were also pivoting to kon and his two dads & i just wonder. about the culture in wanting to shift to more paternal reads.

(for the record i am a fan of them settling in to the paternal bruce-tim dynamic and fraternal clark-kon dynamic. i'm just. interested in this.)

#so much of yj cohort is wrapped up in latchkey culture and the autonomy of kids in the 90s

miles g strikes me as the kind of person who's all "whatever. i don't care. i don't care. im a badass, im a motherfucker, don't fuck with me, bitches" while not realizing that everyone can see he's abt one bungled mission away from breaking down and sobbing in the street

#across the spider verse #earth 42 miles #miles g morales #hes a scared child that was forced to grow up too fast #due to his dad's death/his uncle's further influence/his mom and hims financial situation #he might not have acted shaken during the ending but while 1610 miles was out he fr had a mini breakdown in private #he screamed into a pillow for forty five minutes while aaron tied up 1610 miles #if he sees earth 1610 jefferson he's gonna zip and hug him like 1610 miles did to aaron and then cry #probably for the first time in YEARS #if they dont lean into the wounded latchkey kid aspect of earth 42 miles in the next movie im gonna scream #dont you dare make him a villain phil lord dont you fucking dare #hes *tired* #just let the boy rest

Multifandom Color Palettes

Extras and read more undercut:

This took quicker than I thought to draw, not so quick on posting it tho. Oh well now it's here. It was so fun doing this, I was even doing versions where every character gets to have each color palettes. Let me know if you would want to see that.

From this color palette sheet.

I don't remember where I got it. It was probably since the beginning of the year but it was based off of this. I don't remember if it was free to use or not but I wouldn't have downloaded it if it wasn't. (I hope it was tho).

Also if you want me to describe why I chose specific color palettes for specific characters then send me an ask about it. I don't want to describe every detail on this one post so I'll be able to do it on a separate post or an ask or something. If not then that's fine.

Oh and I plan on doing more. As long as it's ok at least. Also sorry forgot to post this before midnight. I'll post again later today. I still gots some fan art to post.

It must be so hard to be so obsessed with canon that you exit out if a fic if they mess up a canon fact. Like. If I see someone mentioning something WrongTM about canon I just presume they have edited Just That Section of canon because they personally decided they hated it 😂

#but also ???? especially in comics ajfjdh #BECAUSE SO MANY RETCANONS.....EXIST..... #like the difference between latchkey kid tim drake of the originals vs new 52 put his parents in witsec-- #but anyway LMAO my personal ones are like. a) i write a lot of 'post fixit fic but im not writing the fixit i allude to it' #or b) this character choice sucked SO BAD it's not my canon #ie. sanji in water 7 #(╬ Ò﹏Ó) #bip bop nari drops #anyway. just very funny to me. how. difficult it would be. if you were uptight about fic #i am! i def am! about certain things! #but idk #😂 I've seen some 'this pushes me over the edge' that make me....cackle #ie. this character CANNOT be the second to kiss them #OR ANOTHER WHICH WAS: I DON'T THINK HE'D DRINK TEA #b r o ??? you'd exit a fic FOR THAT??

brother was talking to me about how if you almost die from an extreme-temperature-related incident then your body is just forever fucked towards that temperature and that's why i think kiryu and saejima are weak to ice. i dont know why aoki isn't like that too but ignore that statistic everything else tracks.

#snap chats #i already made this post highkey but im making it again cause i didnt know this was an actual real thing ☠️ #my brother learned this when he started to work for target. because apparently that's a thing they tell you frame one #'snap how did this topic even come up' i am LITERALLY so glad you asked :) the cold has almost claimed me twice #am i exaggerating Maybe but its my fucked up body temperature now listen #when i was younger i got locked out of my house for like. three hours since i was a latchkey kid #and my dad wasn't supposed to come home with my siblings (from their after school events) for Three Hours #and it had snowed outside and Was Cold Yeah and i couldn't get in cause i forgot my key like a weiner #and yeah. was really cold :) my dad was real cross with me when he found me shivering in the shed LOL #he made me hot cocoa tho so its ok. second incident's just funny No I Talk About It Evvery Other Week #and im p sure i talked bout the first incident too but yeah that time after the con when i was at my sister's #like i cannot stress how cold it was because It Was Late November and the cold still existed #and my sister's heater just. Didnt Work but yeah. i wont go into detail cause i share this story every five seconds #POINT IS i've always had a hard time with the cold- like i'm cold nearly all the time even if the room is 90 degrees #i wont be COLD cold but i'll be colder than i like #anyways can't believe i'm weak to ice this is so sad. i love winter.. #aoki isn't weak to ice cause uhhhh /aoki/ didnt almost die in the cold 🥴 masato did 🥴 #imagine changing your identity so well that you just remove your past elemental weakness. fucked up. #alright bye

i'm behind so idk if this is. like ever addressed but the implication that diavolo modeled his familiars after the brothers is so. cute and funny and pathetic. this man is so terminally lonely that he made little dolls of his friends but because he is very magic the dolls are alive and sentient and can read the thoughts of the demon they're modeled after. also they really like to dance

#i'm in love with his incredibly depressing and pathetic vibes underneath the veneer of optimism #he's like a latchkey kid with a trust fund #obey me! #obey me! headcanons #obey me! diavolo #notebook
