Sinnoh League Found Family Hcs that will be featured in my ongoing league story that you can read here: -yes cynthia is the champion but bertha is responsible for sinnoh turning very matriarchal. usually it's bertha who is the ultimate decider on these things and cynthia trusts her judgment the most. she gets what she wants. -bertha is literally the designated League Mom. literally she's the one every single league member goes to whenever they have personal problems. yes, even the stoic lucian. she is the best listener and will probably end up making you cocoa. -lucian and flint will show up in bertha's office just for the purpose of avoiding their own paperwork and to bother her. she also has to yell at them to stop licking the frosting when she's baking cupcakes. they do this to annoy her. -bertha is someone who's always willing to learn. she's happy to hear volkner talk about his inventions and his obsession with technology. he teaches her how to use the latest gadgets and she's always so enthralled by them. it actually makes volkner's eyes light up. -cynthia is the designated big sister. she was totally there for candice, gardenia, and maylene whenever "girl problems" came up. -the younger kids of the sinnoh league (aaron, gardenia, maylene, roark, and candice) were undergrounders, apart of sinnoh's grand underground program where kiddies turn into battling machines, which is why they were able to achieve their positions so young. the older generation seems to understand they're young, and therefore are super understanding. still. bertha has done more parenting in fifteen minutes than their families have done in fifteen years. -candice has a nickname. they call her "candy corn" because her full name is candice cornwall, and also because she's sweet as candy. -fantina is called "tina" by byron and wake, after drinking those two under the table at a bar for the first time. fantina always drinks those two under the table. she's kalosian. she handles her liquor better. -maylene was actually discovered by flint and gave her an explorer's kit to send her to the grand underground program after seeing her defiance toward a police officer. it was his idea to make her the new gym leader of veilstone. he was the first person she told about her dad. candice was the second. -roark refers to riley as some boy toy with a stupid fucking fedora. he hates riley because roark's father wanted him to be the gym leader of orebourgh instead of roark, and that pushed roark to become the undisputed leader of the grand underground to show his father. -aaron starts off as a selective mute who was hired to be a gym leader after roark insisted and no one wanted the eterna city position at the time. the sinnoh league didn't care about his muteness, because he did his work, did what he was told, and minded his business. when aaron wins the elite position, he learns to talk more with the support of his elites and cynthia. bertha especially, was very helpful. later he infodumps to them about bugs for 10-15 min. they let him. -gardenia has a garden that's the envy of the entire city. sometimes bertha will come over to help her out with it. people say that she's the most like cynthia, and by that I mean she has the "uncanny valley" look in her eyes, that something is a bit... off about her. really she's fine. that's just her face. -the sinnoh league has sunday brunch hosted by bertha. you don't miss a sunday brunch hosted by bertha unless you're on a ventilator. -when bertha cooks, byron, wake, lucian, volkner, flint, roark, and aaron (pretty much grown men) will fight over who gets to lick the spoon. -they're probably more of a family than any other league. they're a very tight knit group, and that's probably because of bertha. she was cheekily called "mother bertha" for her doting, stern manner, but she genuinely does love them like her own. family didn't have to be blood.

I can't do much right now so I'm just thinking about my characters and it's always so funny to think about Byron. He may be a 7'+ monster looking imp, but he's literally just some guy. Like yeah, he may be covered in eyes and have claws and horns, but he's a baker with daddy/abandonment issues and a failed dream.

I guess antithesis is Cupcake, he just looks like some little cutesy flamboyant twink, but in reality he's over 1000 years old and one of the most powerful and revered vampires in the modern era. He just likes to play dress-up :3

[why-this-kolaveri-machi]

i’ve seen people talk about how it’s ok to skip 3.05 because it’s not really important plot-wise, and i’m here to say 

don’t

because what is this show if not insular, self-indulgent character studies? 

this episode gives us much needed perspective on bruce wayne, who’s been a phantom or a hallucination or this weird trickster figure so far, always present but providing help in only the most oblique of ways. the scene in 3.01 where barbara tears bruce a new one and accuses him of “putting jason in the ground” hits different when we know that bruce had tried so hard to reach out to jason and had practically begged him to not be robin but just his son. the part where dick discovers that bruce had already started looking into potential robin recruits provides insight into how much bruce-the-father struggled to reconcile keeping his son safe with batman-the-vigilante that had spent literal decades making batman-and-robin utterly integral to the knife’s-edge equilibrium in gotham city. dick’s all-consuming resentment towards bruce in the entire first season is only part of a much more complex relationship between them, and losing dick had rocked bruce enough to willingly seek help and try not to repeat the same mistakes with jason. 

the gradual reveal of the extent of this complex dynamic between bruce and his sons is the single consistent throughline that i can think of in this show, right from the pilot to the present, and 3.05 is a huge part of that.

I don’t care what anyone says, Peter Parker uses tumblr.

-It first was to document his photos and theories but then he just started shit posting.

-His user is like @/def-not-spiderman or @/doc-cock

-Avid shit poster, mainly about random crap. One time he posted a photo of a babydoll on the tracks of a subway and captioned it “society”. It got 244k notes.

- will post the most wackus bonkus thing and then the most depressing thing ever

- “Cats are angelic and demon spawn. like Lucifer” - 11:27 … “I miss you. I would tear heaven apart to see your face again” - 11:29 “if I could tell joe byron one thing rn it would be deez nuts 100%” - 11:32

-He also runs Spider-Man’s official Twitter account (much to the dismay of like. everyone ever) and also says shit on there like “dear pigeon who stole my cake pop…. sleep with one eye open” or “bagels.” or “if you have a red 2006 Honda civic, I am so sorry”

- posts selfies of him (masked) with the criminals calling it “crime watch” but really he just always looks hot after a fight

- has his pronouns in his bio

- Elon musk and him get into fights all the time, AOC follows him, and he is blocked by MULTIPLE celebrities

- he said he would kiss lil nas x if he retweeted him. Let’s just say there’s a lot of fanfic between the two of them now

- oh! He also shouts out fanart or anything fan made :)

- His active online presence helps citizens of not just New York, but the world, to feel like they can also help out their communities.

- for example, A girl in Indonesia helped save her brother from a crumbling house and she only said it was because Spider-Man inspired her to.

- A boy in Liberia helped build a dam so his town would stop flooding thanks to him.

- A woman in South Carolina fought to protect the marsh there because of his avid protection “of not just spiders, but also the ecosystems they thrive in”

- even though Peter has a bad tendency to drag a celebrity publicly, or make a thread about why cupcakes are the superior desert, he is shining beacon of hope in the world. He doesn’t have to be out there in a suit, punching the shit outta a guy, to still be the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man everyone needs. He can do that just by being Peter Parker.

"Know Your Frenemies"

TW: ED, diet, and weight stigma talk; fatphobia.

I feel like the bulk of my posts have been criticisms/complaints, so I want to clarify that I do genuinely like this show- although I can't tell you why. The writing was at its best in the earlier seasons, and even some of these scripts are completely out of whack sometimes. In terms of logic and mystery components, this show gets a lot more wrong than right. Yet, I'm able to watch it back a second time- knowing most of the major story beats- and nothing feels "spoiled" for me. I'm completely engaged. PLL has this magical quality where it failed at almost everything it was trying to accomplish but succeeded in getting me hooked and interested unironically. I want to know which deity blessed this production and what kind of karma Marlene has that it was awarded to her.

That said, I completely forgot about Alison having a fling with Ian. Byron Montgomery is the only cheating scuzzball in this town who wasn't seeing Alison. I wonder if she really did have feelings for any of them or if it's supposed to be implied that she didn't because she had feelings for Emily. I want to know what was going through her head when she was getting everyone to kiss her- like, what was that? This show is very good at making me ask questions, not good at answering them.

Also, why did Ian do this??? He was with Melissa, then Spencer for a while, and then also Alison? He might as well rob a fucking daycare. And it's so fucking weird that he becomes a suspect and none of the people who are suspicious feel that way because he's a predatory hoe. Not one person.

I don't know of anywhere that the rule is you need an "A" to play sportsball. I didn't play sports in high school, though.

This cupcake scene is hard to sit through, for so many reasons. I think the worst of it is just how much they minimize and shift the problem in the end. This storyline does a shit job of holding Alison accountable for mocking and bullying Hanna. To someone who actually has weight trauma, it's actually obvious to me that Alison is one of Hanna's triggers. And I'm tired of hearing shit like "I decided to start treating myself better" because it both validates the bullying (or at least glosses over it) and minimizes the amount of time and effort it takes to learn new coping skills- you can't just wake up one day and decide not to have an ED. It's also harmful and dangerous to push this narrative that self-care is going to lead to thinness. For actual people in recovery from certain EDs, weight gain is a natural part of returning to health. And I also wouldn't consider a life where your diet revolves around how much of what you can eat without "getting too fat" self-care. That's not recovery. It's shifting the topic of your anxiety, not learning how to manage it.

It's hard to be reminded that, for so many people, looking like me would be their worst nightmare. I wish this show had used Hanna's storyline more to put a spotlight on how society's view of how to treat fat people is often very wrong. I once heard a radio broadcaster talking about how the prevalence of ED diagnoses is going up in certain teen populations, and he said this on his broadcast: "If this is what we have to do to get our kids skinny and healthy again, that's great!". I know one woman, an actual nurse, who told me she had problems with stress eating literally until she vomits and thought she could cure that by going on keto (to which I definitely told her it sounds like she needs therapy, not a diet...I would qualify that as an act of self-harm, at the very least). And instead of doing that, they just picked up the same cookie-cutter bullshit every other show does and gave us pre-packaged diet propaganda. Not sure how much I want to elaborate on this. The show treats Hanna's problem as if it were a problem with weight instead of a mental health issue by prescribing treatment "get thin all in one summer, have a glow-up, learn fashion" instead of actual mental health treatment. You don't treat an ED with a diet.

Also, this flashback- first of all, I don't think Alison is acting with malice. She is malicious towards Hanna at times, I don't think this is one of them; it is, unfortunately, not uncommon for teenagers to experiment with disordered eating behaviors (weight stigma is so pervasive that flirting with this kind of fire is normalized), and not all teens who experiment with it will go on to develop full-blown disorders. Second, this is another thing that I don't think was fully addressed with Alison. Does Alison also have an ED, or is this something she at least regularly experimented with? Did Cece tell her about it (an unfortunate number of trans people also have EDs)? Because she came up with this "solution" awfully quick. To my memory, this was also never addressed.

Interestingly, this could also be an in-cannon explanation as to why Alison really filled out in the last season or so. I hardly noticed (honestly just thought this was what post-puberty looked like on her- and of course that she is beautiful, you will never see me complain) until I stumbled across an interview where she talked about getting hate comments for her size (which, to me, really reflects how badly we failed at getting the message across that no one deserves to be bullied- at any time, for any reason). That might be another topic for another post, though. Suffice to say, they had an ideal opportunity here to say that Alison was also in recovery for a disordered eating issue and this was what healing looked like on her. If they were less cowardly and more clever, they could have used it to their advantage instead of hiding her at every possible turn. Let thicc girls be badasses!

There is...absolutely no way she can sit there and eat all of those cupcakes without getting nauseous. I think I would cap at maybe three of those, unless I was drunk and/or high out of my mind. The way they make us watch this whole damn thing like, actually hurt my stomach. And I never got thin.

"It's Mrs. Fields, to you"- oh, fuck off, you self-important tightwad. I guess I'll give props to this actress, though; she's pissing me off, so she must be doing something right. I don't understand how she can be so upset over this with the news that their neighbor's child was murdered and buried in her own backyard. I'm sorry, but "better a gay child than a missing or dead child" should absolutely be on her mind. I feel like these adults are in the fucking Twilight Zone, like somehow their lives don't overlap??? They barely seem aware that their neighbor's kid is dead.

For once, I'm greatful for this Ezria drama, because I need a break between the homophobia and ED storylines. Ezra really thinks he's doing something over this damn, stupid grade. Does he only have princibles when it comes to Noel? It's okay for him to use Aria but not okay for Noel to use him?

Why does "A" have this much investment in Ezria? But they can't bring up some dirt on Pam to keep her from being a bitch? I feel like the first person Alison would have wanted to protect would have been Emily. "A" should have taken the bitch's kneecaps.

I wonder if any of the ghostwriters writing under the "Sara Shepherd" pseudonym watched this show. What I wouldn't give to see their reactions.

Do you think Mickey has ever bottomed for anyone but Ian? I just can't see Mickey letting himself be that trusting and vulnerable with anyone else.

everything he’s said about his other sexual partners point to no. topped in prison, topped with byron, topped with cupcake in the s6 deleted scene, i assume he topped with that guy he picked up in 5.12. he has one type and one type only

Intensity JS-wip

“We’re dating each other.” Y/N bursts into my room. “Okay? You’re my date.”

“Who-“

“Byron let me in,” she explains before I could ask my question.

“Why-“

“Long story or short?” She plops herself onto my bed and falls back, grabbing a pillow to scream into.

“Is that the short story?” I chuckle as I go back to folding my laundry.

“Long story it is. So you know how going back home for the holidays is always such a pain because my extended family is a pain in the-”

“Yeah-“ I try to get in but she cuts me off.

“And remember I’m always forced to face my ex-the one I dated for two bloody years and who dumped me for my cousin?”

“You’ve mentioned about a million tim-“

“So this year my mum invited that little bitch to ours for Christmas dinner because her parents are travelling the world or some shite and she has no one for Christmas dinner. But here’s the kicker! Turns out she’s still with my ex and they’re engaged now...”

I listen, amused at how fast Y/N zooms through her story. She’s equal parts angry, stressed, and already convinced I would say yes.

“So in order for me to keep the sliver of respect I still have, and not to look like a complete loser who hasn’t held a steady boyfriend since...well...since him. I need to bring a boyfriend home. I thought about bringing home a girlfriend just to freak everyone out-you know...but none of my friends were up for it. They already look at me weird because I do Youtube for a career but-“

“Y/N,” I push my clothes aside and jump onto the bed to push her down. She goes down with a shout and I kneel over her. “Shut up will you? I’ll bloody come as long as I’m back in London by Sunday.”

“Oh you will. Dinner’s Friday and we’re leaving right after!”

“You’re mad you know that?” I shake my head and she delivers a foot to my stomach. I lose my balance and come crashing down onto the bed beside her.

“You’ll see why I’m so mad when I take you home.” Y/N scrubs her eyes.

“I’ll finally ask your mum if she dropped you on your head as a child,” I say, pushing Y/N’s buttons even more. I get the desired response-a string of swear words before she bounces off the bed.

“Now I have to go look for a dress that’ll make me look uh-mazing,” Y/N pauses by my door. “And I’ll pick you up Friday at 3.”

“Alright,” I sit up in bed. “And Y/N?” She turns to look at me, her cheeks flushed and mind whirring, a million miles away. “I don’t think you’re a complete loser.”

I manage to pull her back to the present as she focuses on what I’d just said. She rolls her eyes and sticks up her middle finger before leaving but not before I see the smile grace her face. I lay back down on the bed with the same smile that she never failed to leave me with.

•••

Y/N and I were complicated but at the same time we weren’t. We’d met on New Year’s a few years back and after a flirty night we somehow decided to stay friends. Somewhere along the way we became inseperable. But sometimes I wondered what would have happened that night if I did work up the courage to kiss her like I wanted, or if I asked her out on a date the next time we met instead of asking her if she wanted to join the boys and I for brunch.

Y/N was fierce to the outside world but I knew the softer side of her. The one she allowed me to see after many vulnerable drunk conversations and road trips we often took alone. She was my partner in crime and I was lucky she’d picked me to talk to that New Year’s Eve.

I sit in the passenger’s seat of Y/N eco friendly car-a spot I was so familiar with the seat probably had an imprint in the shape of my bum. Christmas carols play softly through the stereo but I can’t focus because Y/N continues talking through them.

“So not quite a year but almost,” Y/N tries to get our fake history right.

“How about we say we made it official at last New Year’s so it’s easy to remember?” I suggest.

“Oh you’re genius,” she grins a toothy grin. “Yes-oh by the way Josh was telling me about the costumes you ordered for that video? When’s that happening?”

We get side tracked talking about work and by the time we pull up to Y/N’s childhood home, she’s less anxious but its not completely gone. I manage to get her out of the car and hold her her hand as we get to the front door. Her mum opens, trying to hide her shocked expression at my presence but reassuring me she has plenty of food. Y/N’s younger sister barely spares me a glance from her phone, already decided years ago that I was weird after walking in on Y/N and I trying to eat cupcakes without our hands (in all fairness it was for a video). Her dad welcomes me warmly and we’re all sat in the sitting room when the doorbell rings.

“Oh that’s probably Eve and Jim!” Y/N’s mum gets up to get the door.

“Wonderful,” Y/N glances at me and then says something to her sister which sets her off laughing.

Y/N •••

“Y/N,” my cousin sounds scandalized as she observes Joe. “Is this Joe?”

“Yeah,” Joe’s hand circles my waist answering before I could. “Nice to finally meet you.”

“I didn’t know you two were dating,” she eyes our posture and wraps her hands around Jim’s waist. Her fiance. Gross.

Jim greets Joe wearily and glances at me before deciding to concentrate on the Christmas tree. I’m better off without him, I remind myself. Eve and him were a better couple anyway. I had moved on to better things. He wasn’t even that great.

“Yeah we are,” I find my voice. “Joe and I. We’re...in love! Right?”

“Very much,” Joe smiles at me but his eyes are teasing me so I avoid looking into them in case I start laughing again. He made it very hard to stay serious.

“That’s so cute!” Eve says before moving on to greet my sister. I roll my eyes to Joe before we take our seats which happen to be right across from the vacant seats Eve and Jim were going to take. I’m grateful for Joe who wraps his arms around my shoulders and keeps me comforted until dinner. He knows exactly what to do and say to make it believable, even pecking my cheek when Eve asks our first date story which he pulls out of his arse. He deserved an Oscar. I would tell him after.

Joe •••

“So Jim,” I say halfway into dinner. He didn’t speak much but I wanted to know the guy who was Y/N’s firsts. He didn’t seem much her type but I figured there was more under the surface. “What are the plans for the wedding?”

“It’s a summer wedding,” he says slowly. “I thought autumn would be nice but Eve didn’t want to risk bad weather and whatnot.”

“Not just bad weather,” Eve cuts in and begins detailing her wedding plans which Y/N kicks me under the table for starting.

“You see you two going that way?” Jim asks me after a while as Eve continues to explain to Y/N her bridesmaid dress.

“Y/N and me?” I ask, caught off guard.

“Yeah,” Jim laughs, raising an eyebrow. “I can see the way you two look at each other. And she’s a great girl.”

“Yeah...you would know,” It’s easy to slip in my question. “She’s kind of close lipped about what happened with you two...?”

“Really?” Jim glances at Y/N almost like she scared him. “That doesn’t sound like her.”

“Guess not,” I force a laugh. The truth was Y/N went on many rants about how unreliable men were and I knew that was due to Jim, she’d told me vaguely he broke up with her and started dating Eve a few weeks later. But never the details.

“We were young and-“ Jim hesitates and glances at Y/N and then back to me. “She was always a little intense you know? It was just...a little much for me.”

“I think she’s perfectly intense,” I feel myself getting defensive and Jim catches it too.

“Who’re you calling intense?” Y/N says at the same time, her eyes burning...well...intensely.

“Uhm,” Jim shakes his head. “Just talking to Joe-“

“You.” I say. “I was saying I loved your intensity.” Y/N stares at me suspiciously, trying to read whether I was lying or not. “It’s part of your charm.”

“Y/N’s charm is scaring everyone away,” her sister comments and Eve laughs.

“Shut up idiot,” Y/N stares daggers at her sister but she just shrugs.

“Well it’s sort of true,” Eve gloats. “In secondary everyone eventually stopped hanging out with you because you scared them all away.”

“Or maybe it’s because you always bitched about me to anyone who listened,” Y/N bites back but her voice shakes.

“Language,” Y/N’s dad warns.

“Well hey, I’m still here,” I interrupt and grab Y/N’s hand to hold, hoping to change the subject around.

“Yeah that’s cause you’re...weird. Like Y/N.” Her sister eyes me.

“Hey,” Y/N’s mum scolds everyone but I mouth a thanks to her sister and she rolls her eyes. She looked just like Y/N. “Let’s not have this conversation right now please. Eve your plate’s empty would you like seconds?”

“Yeah Eve,” Y/N spits. “Want some sloppy seconds?”

Eve’s mouth drops and Y/N’s parents scold her as her sister giggles.

“So mature,” Eve crosses her arms. “No reason to stay jealous Y/N.”

“Why would I be jealous of pathetic Jim over here.”

“Y/N!” Her mum scolds.

“Y/N you’re-“ Jim starts.

“Shut up!” Y/N cuts Jim off and I almost feel bad for him. “You don’t deserve to talk. Not to my face, in this house.”

“Well you better get over it,” Eve cuts in. “You’ll be seeing a lot of him since we’re getting married and all. He’ll be around for a while.”

“Lucky for you-no competition-your only other available cousin is underage.”

Y/N’s sister’s jaw drops and the table explodes around us. I figure Y/N had taken it too far but she’s already stomping away before I could reach for her. I leave the noisy table and find her exiting the front door. I grab her jacket and make my way outside.

“Do you still like him?” I ask after I hand her her coat. I don’t know why I ask. But it’s suddenly important for me to know.

“Ew gross, Sugg. I thought you knew me better.” Y/N glares at me.

“I do. I’m just wondering why you’re still upset after all these years. You don’t have feelings for him so-“

“I don’t know!” Y/N turns away from me. “I just hate seeing them together. It just hurts! It reminding me every time I do how I was such an idiot, it reminds me of the shitty time I had in secondary, and how Eve always wins at everything. Even my parents take her side over mine even though they clearly see everything she put me through! Jim dumped me because Eve talked bullshit about me all the time and complained to him constantly. He never minded I was so intense but suddenly he was scared away directly into her arms-“

“So fuck him!” I grab her shoulders.

“I already did!” The words fly out of Y/N’s mouth, and she tries to stay angry but her face cracks and suddenly she’s laughing. “Jesus he lost his v-card in the bedroom above from where he sits. I wonder how Eve feels about that.”

I laugh, relieved that Y/N had run out of her rage.

“Y/N,” I tell her. “You’re not scary or a loser. There’s nothing wrong with your job or you intensity. You’re perfect.”

“Is this where we kiss?” Y/N raises her eyebrow.

“No mistletoe,” I look above us.

She rolls her eyes but I glimpse a smile as she looks down. “Want to walk down to my old school? Where nobody liked me?”

“Yeah,” I button my coat and grab her hand. “I’ll beat up all the fake bullies.”

“You don’t have to hold my hand out here,” she looks down at our clasped hands.

“Keeps us warm,” I kiss her forehead and we’re off. She tells me stories from school and I imagine her here walking these streets as a kid. I finally get the full Y/N story by the time we reach the playground. We pause in front of the front entrance and she gazes up at the building. Suddenly, she turns to me and closes her arms around my shoulders, burying her face into my neck.

“I’m sorry for dragging you all the way out here for this shitshow and wasting your Friday.” She says close to my ear. I ignore the shiver that runs through me and wrap my arms around her waist.

“It was fun,” I tell her. “I liked the look on your cousin’s face when you asked her about your sloppy seconds.”

Y/N giggles into my neck before facing me. She grows serious as she scans my face this closely. “I never actually asked anyone else to be my fake date.”

“Hm.” I let the information sink in. “So you wanted to lure me out here all by myself.”

“Sort of,” a mischevious smile plays on her lips. “You got a history lesson out of it.”

“The only one worth paying attention to,” I say just as she tugs my sleeve and is off running towards the staircase leading into the building. She stops at the side, and stands there with her back against it.

“I never asked anyone to be my fake date because I wanted you by my side,” Y/N watches me intensely as she tells me what I already knew, but her confirmation gives me the only push I needed.

“Well,” I step forward, closing the distance between us and her breath catches as she looks up at me. “It’s good. I wouldn’t have wanted any other fake date to be able to do this.”

I lean down and her eyes are already fluttering close as I press my lips to hers and just like everything about her, it’s intense and passionate and entirely electric.

“Why haven’t we done that sooner,” she asks against my lips when we part but my senses are too jumbled to form a sentence. It didn’t matter we hadn’t done it sooner, I pull her into me to kiss her again, it was perfect the way

Road Signs

I have lost too many hours trying to find you in between lines of fanfictions

used too many notebooks to scribble verses of bad immature poetry about you

("eyes like two solo chocolate chips on vanilla cupcakes, hair like Byron's night sky")

I spent too much money on cheap beer cans to feel your embrace on someone else clad in blue in a dimly lit cramped pub

I've met too many people in that small coffee shop, that you said reminded you of Paris or Amsterdam, to have conversations that stray away from you

pranced through way too many alleys and lanes to retrace your steps from the strange door to yours

I've sipped on too many cups of rancid coffee trying to write the perfect song for you

(I would seek you out and play it outside your window; only if I could find the perfect words or the whiff of your perfume ever again)

I've stayed up way too many nights trying to find one more person who'd tell me,

"go soft on my curves,

as soft as you'd go on mountain turns"

I've spent too many hours away from home to feel like I did on that vacation during my freshman year

to find someone that sticks to my memory like you and catchy road signs

titans always gets me with how unabashedly messy it allows its theme of legacies to be, with multifaceted mentors who are struggling themselves, and not necessarily what their protégés need despite all of their best intentions

honestly there's something even dark about the titans choosing dick as their leader over and over again, or dick and the robins' faith in bruce to be the leader that they and gotham need--despite those leaders' repeated failures, the way those roles have warped their psyches into literal hellscapes

#titans #meta #dick grayson #a byronic cupcake #will expand on these thoughts when i get around to watching the last two eps of s3 #which i will eventually!
