Hi guys! 💖
Posting this here to give a little shoutout to my stories haha. My story, The Bear Is Sick is heavily inspired by the storybook “ the bear feels sick.” ( or The Bear Is Ill in some Countries)
Growing up, my Mama used to read me and my siblings story books, and this book was one of them, and since I could remember, I was always mesmerized by its wonderful water coloring like illustrates, and it’s sweet story.
Around October last year I was cleaning our library when I found this book and got inspired, I doodled few drawing and in February I wrote little Edward owning the book.
This silly cute draft was sitting in my noted app, till the end of June, where I finished it up and posted it on the first of July!
My story is short, being less than 3k words, but it is one of the most loved ones that I have posted this year! In my fic, I kinda of scratched the surface of the situation that, unfortunately, a lot of kids and teens will go through. I am not a fostered child and never experienced it, I have built it based on my researched facts and the stuff my online friend told me about her experience.
Remember, if you can help those teens and kids, please do! Donations ( money, clothes, bags, food, whatever you can!) can make a human’s life better. If you can't give them something physically then give them a prayer and if you weren't a believer then just send them some good thoughts.
( um, if you can leave a comment? 👀 because, like, we All have a very hard life and I kinda want something to make me smile? 🫣 i swear I am not this petty usually but oh well)
See ya at Ao3, peeps 🫡❤️💖

i think there's an interesting connective thread between sarah snook saying she thinks shiv just reads whatever's currently popular and got people talking ("everyone's reading this? all right, fine."), and alan ruck saying he thinks connor only reads books that are very old and considered classics - that way he doesn't have to decide if it has literary merit, because everyone else has already decided it's a seminal work. like, it takes them in the opposite direction when looking for materials, but in both cases they're being driven by a desire to not have to have original artistic tastes or opinions and just defer to someone else's judgements. which is just so telling?
shiv can be a bit of a black sheep politically, but she arrived there by just trying to define herself in opposition to her family; it's an indirect way of having someone else decide for you to keep trying to do the opposite of what's expected. it requires little in the way of genuine beliefs, which is why she flips very easily when it's convenient. connor meanwhile just wants any scrap of attention he can get, which is why he brings up random trivia or collects bizarre historical items. he likes to be able to just say or have something that gets people's attention, without having to provide any real explanation or show understanding. and i think it's interesting how that carries over into things like entertainment or art - the lack of self conception makes it hard to do things like pick up a random book you've never heard of because it looks interesting.

Wally West can be a passive aggressive little shit when he wants to be and, boy, lemme tell ya, he's down to cause problems 100% of the time.
I do love though how this has been a reoccurring theme in this series. It feels like every issue so far Roy will say shit about someone within hearing range of Wally, Wally 'Pettiest Boy Alive' West will go stealth-speed mode immediately to fuck up Roy's day, and then Wally walks away with a shit eating grin while Roy reaps the consequences, none the wiser.
It's fucking fantastic. It's brilliant. I love this dynamic so much.

Hal is the favorite uncle
One of my favorite headcanons is to think that Hal is the favorite uncle of all the kids around him.
I feel like his partners' colleagues always came up to him to ask about his space missions (of course Hal used to brag too much about his heroic deeds and the kids believed it blindly, especially Wally) and also Hal used to share embarrassing anecdotes about his mentors.
Hal may not have had a pupil like his friends, but still all of their pupils loved him very much.
Since Hal is the kind of prankster uncle who gives advice without being asked and would actively participate in the pranks, but he would also be the kind of guy who would defend his babys from whomever he is, that includes his own friends.
It is likely that on more than one occasion the children have jumped the instructions of the league and acted when they should not have acted, which then leads them to be all of them sitting with their heads down listening to the scolding and punishment that will be meted out to them; until Hal, who hadn't heard what was happening, walks around the area and listens to them and, of course, jumps to the children's defense.
He advocates for all the kids and probably gets into a heated argument with Batman (just as he usually does) and ends with a scolding from Diana for Bruce and Hal, but at least Hal leaves the place with his small victory.
Distract the team enough to focus on scolding him and not the kids.
(Probably later Hal talks to the kids calmly and explains that although what they did was amazing, they shouldn't put themselves in danger like that and also the league has a much calmer conversation with the babys.)
But that's the idea.
About a Hal who would defend any of his nephews in the league, though it's also a bit apparent that Hal has a soft spot for some guys more than others.
An example would be Roy and Wally, since he spends more time actively with them, is more involved in his personal life and because he saw them grow in a close and personal way.

truly do not understand how people are JUST NOW seeing roman as a geniune character with depth and not just "haha funney man mommy issues sexual problems lol!!! 🤪" like listen i started watching succession like. 3 weeks ago. and people that were watching this from the second it came out couldn't see the importance of his character until now?? fucking eleventh hour??? anyways hes the queen of my heart 4 ever and ever
no literally like i genuinely just... cannot conceive of someone watching multiple episodes of the show and still not taking him seriously or seeing how tragic he is. it's one thing to think he's an asshole -- he is -- and it's another entirely to think he's a one-note sex-freak funny-guy who isn't written just as carefully and tragically as kendall and shiv. and it's not like this is new news either -- in the second episode, when logan was in the hospital, everyone was trying to figure out who would run waystar and roman was like can you guys shut the fuck up and worry about our dad? and then roman made greg go back to the penthouse to get him something that smelled like logan?!?! this was, again, EPISODE TWO!!!! and somehow people are only saying just NOW that, like, 'turns out roman roy is the most caring/empathetic/family-oriented/etc of them all'! like oh wow turns out logan roy is a bad father. turns out kendall roy is an addict. turns out shiv roy is not the best feminist activist. we have known all of this for a very long time and none of it contradicts the other parts of the characters -- logan is a bad father and a good businessman who is honestly not wrong about his kids, kendall roy is an addict and he is trying so hard not to be and to escape the cycle of abuse, shiv roy is a bad feminist and entirely the product of a family and an environment that refused to value her for her entire life simply by nature of her gender. why could everyone acknowledge these things for the other characters but not roman? why couldn't roman be both an asshole and a deeply tragic character like everyone else?
like, just bc you can't reconcile the unlikable aspects of a character with the nuances of their backgrounds/psyches/etc doesn't mean those depths don't exist, it just means you fundamentally missed the point of his character for at least 3 entire seasons. crazy how articles are really out here saying shit like 'improbably, roman roy shows emotion' like that is actually so incredibly embarrassing ? like, you're a cultural critic at a well-known magazine, your job is literally just getting paid to watch and analyze television shows, and it took you until the final season of succession to realize that roman roy is an interesting character and not just perverted comic relief? why would you admit that to the world for real
