I can't stress repeat it enough : allowing a character to be wrong is such a necessity.
-Because it gives you flawed and ultimately more interesting characters.
-Because then readers don't expect the characters' theory to be the good one right away.
-Because i, as a writer is deeply flawed too, and sometimes i get my numbers, or dates, or name wrong and if i have the slightest doubt about it i just have to make the character say the mistake. It's part of their personallity!! *hides behind Wei Wuxian and Cangse Sanren terrible memory of faces, names and dates*

if we should protect children because they are vunerable, this means you would protect cruel children who bullies people who different than them then. the children who responsible to trauma for someone else's entire years
You're assuming that "protecting" children is the same as absolving them of responsibility and that's not what I said. All children are vulnerable, because all children are children; they don't come out of the womb with a perfectly working moral compass anymore than they come out of it waiting to hurt people--they're vulnerable because their understanding of the world is entirely at the mercy of what we, as adults, consistently tell them and show them. Children behaving cruelly aren't exempt from that--they learn that cruelty from somewhere, or someone. Your job, as the adult, is to make sure they understand that it's unacceptable so it will not happen again--but your job is also to ask why someone that young is behaving this way to begin with, so you can ensure they become better.
"Protecting" kids is not ignoring when they hurt or torment others, it's not refusing to teach them consequences or right from wrong, it's not "zero tolerance" policies in schools that treat a child being bullied and the child bullying them as equal instigators, and it's certainly not protecting them from recognizing, and atoning for, the pain they have caused someone else. You don't have to make peace with the now-adults who hurt you when you both were kids, but you cannot let the horrors of your own childhood impact how you treat or respond to the children living theirs around you right now, either.
You don't protect kids so they can get a free pass for bullying or tormenting another child. You protect them because kids are impulsive, emotionally reactive, and profoundly social (which means deeply impressionable) human beings who are still learning & processing insane amounts of information every day about what it means to be alive, to be alive as yourself, to be alive as yourself with other people. Protecting them is realising that you can't isolate the responsibility of a 10 year old from the bigger responsibility of the literal grown adults around them, adults who are in charge of teaching them about the world and how to behave in it. Whether you have children of your own in the future or not is completely irrelevant to this; we all become those adults eventually--no matter what happened to us as kids.

i just think it'd be funny for Loki's magic to drained/blocked and 75% of the motor function in his arms/hands goes out with it. maybe he collapses because the magic is keeping him up and running. who knows.

I keep forgetting to post about this all the while it’s only become less and less likely to mean anything in canon… but can we talk for a second anyways on how Monoma’s the only person on the battlefield right now who actually knows the reason Deku’s black whip awakened in the first place, the reason for Deku losing control for the first time during the Joint Training arc was because of Bakugo?
Remember how even when All Might and Bakugo asked what triggered blackwhip Deku was like “I dunno,” y’know, like a liar?
Tumblr media
The only people in the manga who know specifically what Monoma said to trigger black whip, is, well, Monoma himself, plus probably Shinsou. Almost certainly Shinsou actually.
It’s even strongly implied it was Shinsou’s idea for Monoma to mock Bakugo specifically. He was shown evesdropping on their friendly banter, no doubt for strategic purposes.
Shinsou knew he got Deku to talk by mocking his friends before, during the Joint Training arc he’s observing for specific friends to target.
Tumblr media
I dunno I just find it oddly funny how Monoma of all people is one of only two people to know this particularly dramatic clue that Bakugo is literally Midoriya’s berserk button.
Heckin Monoma, why is this so oddly funny. Shinsou too, this is such a neat setup. Even for a platonic reading of BakuDeku, putting Monoma in this situation is just so bizzarely funny to me, like, I was honestly expecting Monoma to get a flashback of the Joint Training arc when Deku lost it in the recent arc over thinking Bakugo died… but okay, to be fair, perhaps Monoma hadn’t had enough reason to connect the dots quite yet. But maybe now he does? 🤔
Eh, or maybe I’m overanalyzing things.

everything goes so slow for pietro i am 100% convinced he's incredibly terminally online to get his dopamine hits. he's so active on twitter people are worried about him. he keeps getting suspended bcuz he keeps sending people death threats and doxxing them and then has to call tony up so he can pay to get his accound back. he shows up in front of houses of people he beefs with. he fights with teenagers online all day. the official avengers twitter account has him blocked.

Ronan With Nymph
a fic by mushroom with help from stick
With the midway station fully operational, Jack and Sam decided to take Nymph to Atlantis for a little holiday. it would be nice to check up on Dr. Weir, and Sam was itching to explore the city with Nymph.
they brought their carry-ons to the gate, and Daniel went to sadly wave them off.
"what's wrong, uncle Danny?" Nymph asked, her head tilting in a concerned manner.
"I'd love to go with you and see the city, but general Landry said I have important work to do and can't leave." Daniel sighed. he was completely unaware of the lengths that Nymph would go to to make her Uncle Danny happy. she floated up to the giant window of the command room, and tapped the glass to get Landry's attention.
"Mr. General, sir?" she called out to him.
Landry leaned into the microphone. "yes, Nymph?"
"can uncle Danny please come with us? he really wants to go and it's making him really sad." she gave him puppy eyes through the glass, and her power had completely taken over him.
"Dr. Jackson, prepare to embark to the midway station. don't forget to pack your bags."
Daniel looked confused, and even pointed at himself like there was another Dr. Jackson the general could've been talking to. with a confirming nod, he dashed to pack a quick bag before they dialed the gate.
~ • ~ • ~
the little family stepped through the event horizon into the magnificent Atlantis gate room, audibly gasping at how beautiful the Ancient architecture was. light spilled through the enormous stained glass windows, making colours dance all around.
Elizabeth Weir was right there to greet them, along with the AR-1 team. Nymph's eyes went wide as she craned her neck to see the giant that was Ronan Dex. Jack and Sam hugged Elizabeth, and started walking up to her office while catching up on different mission reports with John. Daniel was waved on to follow Rodney, and Nymph and Ronan were left standing in the gate room. one could only guess that everyone assumed Nymph had followed Jack and Sam.
"you're very big." Nymph remarked. "kinda like the trees."
"I guess you could say that," Ronan shrugged.
Nymph floated up to Ronan until she reached his height. he acted like that wasn't quite the weirdest thing he'd seen, but it was close.
"how're you doing that?"
"I float. the trees taught me how."
"that's kinda cool."
the two of them stayed there, awkwardness tangible enough to cut it with a knife. Ronan finally waved up at Chuck, who nodded and started dialing the gate with a thumbs-up.
"I was going off world anyway, you wanna come?" Ronan offered, pointing to the stargate as it spun to life.
"are we allowed?" Nymph asked, tilting her head.
"yeah, I already got permission. let's go."
Ronan held out a hand to guide her through the gate, and she hesitantly took it. When they reached the other side, there was a path through a field that led to a small village. Ronan guided Nymph to the tavern he had planned to go to. he wasn't sure how a drinking night with a group from Atlantis was going to go when he had brought this kid, but they were going to have to make do.
he opened the door and carried Nymph to the bar, mumbling a "stay here" command while he walked around looking for his group. she politely obeyed, looking even smaller sitting on the rough counter twiddling her little baby thumbs.
Ronan found the Atlantis base group, and brought them over to where he had left Nymph. Radek and Lorne just stared at her.
"that is a child," Radek remarked in his heavy Czech accent.
"Uh, Ronan, buddy, whose kid is this?" Lorne asked delicately.
Ronan shrugged. "she came through the gate with O'Neill's group. they were all busy, and I didn't feel right leaving her alone. so I brought her with."
Lorne looked like he'd seen a ghost. "You kidnapped general O'Neill's kid. we are accessory to the kidnapping of O'Neill's daughter, who he loves almost more than his fiancee."
"we are so fired." Stackhouse whimpered.
Ronan wasn't listening to their concerns - he was too busy arm-wrestling some grunt while telling Nymph a Satedan fairy tale. Nymph was equal parts enamored with the story, and uncomfortable around such shady people. her radar was going haywire in an underbelly place like this one, but she knew she was safe with Ronan and his friends. when Ronan turned his attention more towards the arm wrestle, she turned to the rest of the group.
"hi! I'm Nymph!" she smiled wide, showing her teeth. Stackhouse just whimpered again. Cadman rolled her eyes, and focused on Nymph.
"hi, sweetie! my name is Laura. are you having fun?"
Nymph nodded excitedly. "we went through the big stargate that's actually lots of stargates and we had to stay in between them for a little while and that was really boring but exciting at the same time. and Atlantis is so pretty!"
"it is a really pretty city! I get to live there, did you know that?"
Nymph shook her head, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Radek, Lorne, and Stackhouse were having a crisis beside them, but Cadman was actively ignoring them.
~ • ~ • ~
"So, now that we're all caught up, I think I'd like to get to know Nymph a little more," Elizabeth said. "There wasn't a lot of get-to-know-yous while I was at Stargate Command."
"true," Jack shrugged. Sam turned around to bring Nymph forward, but she was nowhere to be seen.
"Nymph?" Sam called out, craning her neck to see if the little girl had just wandered off. Jack glanced around quickly and joined in on calling her name. the calling quickly turned to panic as it was apparent that Nymph wasn't in earshot of Elizabeth's office. Jack and Sam ran out of the room calling out to her, Elizabeth joining in.
"Call Dr. Jackson on the intercom, immediately," Elizabeth ordered Chuck, who promptly summoned Daniel to the control room.
Daniel came running, and Jack met him at the stairs while Sam tried to help with the sensors.
"What's wrong, Jack?" Daniel was worried, but he didn't know why yet.
"good, Daniel, you're here. is there ANY chance that Nymph was with you, and you just left her in the care of McKay while you came to check out why we called you?"
"Noooo...?" he drew out the syllable, confused for a second and then realizing why Jack would possibly ask that. "she's LOST?"
Jack looked ready to pull out his greying hair as Sam came running down the stairs, shaking her head.
"I helped them programme the sensors to look for Nymph, and it doesn't look like she's in the city!"
"We'll find her, Sam, don't worry," Daniel tried to calm her.
"It's a big city, Daniel!" Jack snapped.
"and sensors are down in big parts of it," Sam continued. "she could've taken a transporter to any of those sections and we would never find her."
Elizabeth called down to them from the balcony, telling them to come over there. when they reached the control room, John was next to Elizabeth in full gear.
"my men are ready to start searching damaged areas, sir. don't worry, we'll find her."
Elizabeth glanced over at the DHD, which Chuck was very nearly hiding under.
"Chuck, you didn't happen to see anything, did you?"
his eyes widened in anxiety. I'm so fired, I'm so fired, I'm so fired. I thought Ronan had permission to take her. I'm so fired.
"um. IsawRonantakeherthroughthestar -gate," he mumbled, more like squeaked. Jack whipped his head around to look at him, his glare boring holes into poor Chuck's head.
"What was that?"
Chuck gulped, and stood up a little. "I saw Ronan take her through the stargate."
Jack, Daniel, and Sam all lunged at the terrified technician, and John and a guard quickly grabbed them before they could hurt him.
"I swear, I thought he had talked with you about it!" Chuck stammered, backing away from the three very furious guardians. "if I knew he wasn't supposed to, I would've stopped him!"
"general, I know where Ronan went!" John grunted through excertion. "in fact, once this meeting was over with, I was supposed to meet up with him. I can take all of you there."
they stopped fighting John and the guard, and nodded to Chuck to dial the gate. he did so with visibly shaking hands.
~ • ~ • ~
the door to the tavern kicked open with enough force to knock it off its hinges. The entire crowd turned to look at the violent entrance, and Nymph perked up at the sight of her family.
"daddy!" she exclaimed happily, raising her arms to get Jack's attention. he, Sam, and Daniel rushed over to her with tears of relief in their eyes, and enveloped her in a huge hug.
"Oh, honey, we thought you were lost!" Sam cried. "don't ever do that again!"
"sorry mama, but Mr Ronan said it was OK." Nymph pulled a hand away to point at Ronan, which made John just glare at him with an expression that meant "on what planet would you think that was a good idea".
Jack turned to Ronan in a fury, and John had to put a hand out to stop him from tackling Ronan.
"why in the world would you take my kid without asking?! and to some random off-world tavern?! what were you thinking?!" Jack roared.
Ronan shrugged. "I was heading here anyway, and I didn't think it was a good idea to leave her in the gate room."
Jack's eye started to twitch. "so send her up to us in Elizabeth's office! don't just take her off world without telling anybody!!"
Ronan shrugged, unbothered. John glared at him, trying to silently hint at how badly he messed up, but he either wasn't getting it or didn't care. Stackhouse, Lorne, and Cadman sat awkwardly at the table, unsure what they could add to this conversation.
Radek raised his hand. "general, if I may, she was unharmed and has been in sight of us since she walked through that door. and there's no one on base more qualified to stay with her on the way here than Ronan. she was perfectly safe the entire time."
"and she had fun!" Cadman piped up, which got a "stop talking now" glare from John. knowing that Nymph was OK had relaxed Sam and Daniel, who in turn attempted to calm Jack. Nymph was very confused about what was going on, silently pulling a juicebox out from her little bag. Daniel chuckled at the sight of her sipping her apple juice with wide eyes taking in her surroundings.
Jack took a deep breath, and picked up Nymph. "Let's just head back to the city, alrighty? Elizabeth still has some sights to show us."
the family turned and headed for the door, which was still off its hinges. Jack turned around apologetically, and John waved him off.
"one of us will fix it, go sightsee with your family." he shrugged. Jack raised an eyebrow, then walked out.

ok first of all i dont dislike jay nakamura i just dont like the fact that they made him out to be the second lois lane for jons superman and its kinda boring since the new superman should have a different romantic storyline from his dad right????
BUT THEN i saw some ppl dislike jay just because hes jons love interest who doesnt exactly have much chemistry with jon and????? thats so unfair to jay?????
ill admit that i kinda get to love jay since im writing abt him for a bit in my fic, but istg he can be a cool character if we know how to develop him. the fact that hes trying to take down a whole mtfk government???? cool as hell??? hes a metahuman whos running a call out blog???? btch im fcking in
personally i think jon and jay’s friendship are pretty cool, but they would need more than that for an actual romantic relationship. i also think the fact that the young couple is pretty much a copy-paste of lois and clark can be used for character development, for example: jon might be upholding the supermans title, but he has his own style, and while lois lane might be jay’s idol, but he wants his own path as a prospective journalist.
at the end of the day i still love me some jondami :) those are just my thoughts and suggestions
