Danny got caught by the GIW, tortured, and managed to escape.

Unfortunately, he didn't escape without damage.

And he can't tell his parents or they'll get suspicious.

But the damage is....obvious. He always hurts, now. He can't feel his right pinky or move it. Walking for long stretches of time is impossible, and his legs physically won't hold him up if he tries. But he can't use a wheelchair, or his parents will find out. So he resorts to floating and pretending to walk. He can't bend over as much; his core muscles are too damaged to allow it. So he phases through himself to pretend he is, or lies and leaves before someone asks him to.

He definitely can't fight.

The other ghosts know this, and ease off so that he can recover. It's a respect thing; going after another ghost when they're weak and incapable of fighting is shameful.

So he and Jazz do some research, and make a list of the medical equipment he needs to start recovering. Jazz tries to teach herself how to be a physical therapist on top of everything else in her life; college, her job so she doesn't rely on their parents, etc.

But that medical equipment is so frickin expensive.

So Danny plans for being out of commission for a week or so, visits Jazz in Gotham indefinitely, and decides to rob one of the largest suppliers of medical equipment.

Drake Industries.

His first few heists go off pretty well, but then on the final one, he finds himself face to face with Red Robin.

A noise from behind him alerts him to Nightwing.

And, again; Danny cannot fight.

He's already shaky, using his powers so much. The pain that's always there has flared to levels he can't ignore, and he knows he needs to leave immediately.

He also can't afford to be chased.

"Please. I just want to get better, and it's too expensive otherwise."

Prompt 208

So Danny would feel exasperated, and probably should. But Dan is actually doing good and hasn’t even bitten anyone during this situation so that’s a win in his books. Now if the turned-into-a-four-year-old could tell him where he managed to grab this other child when he was supposed to be at the babysitter’s, that would be swell. 

Or why there is a hero who nearly broke the door down in a right panic. 

Like genuinely, he doesn’t know who was more surprised, him, or the hero who came running up half in a panic attack.

i love the suckening. you've got a sheltered prince and his twin brother who grew up in an LA gang,

and then there's arthur bennett.

where do i even start? imagine being a century old and spending that century hating yourself. you hate the very core of what you are, the things you must do to keep yourself alive, and you keep a physical reminder of the harm you inflicted on your body at all times. every time you do the thing you have to do in order to live, you pull out that book of names and read them. arthur bennett forces himself to remember because if he didn't make the effort, he'd hate himself even more. imagine crucifying yourself for a hundred years and being miserable the whole time- and then one day, you get caught up with two kids. teenagers, but to you they're just children, both of them naive and caught up in things bigger than themselves and you can't help but get involved because otherwise, you'd just feel guilty. so arthur takes them under his wing and knows that it's not the smartest but in the short time he's known them, he's slowly realized they're just two younger versions of him. he sees himself in shilo, devastated and paralyzed with shock and fear. he seems himself in emizel, newly turned and angry and violent and brash. he doesn't want them to end up like him. he doesn't want them to hate themselves because of what- and who- they are. he cares about them, and doesn't want to see them get hurt. he sees a chance to help shape them into something better than himself. maybe, in them, he sees a little bit of hope. maybe by teaching them how to be better he can forgive himself.

If Machete and Vasco were roommates before they became a couple, there had to have been moments of innocent touching/body contact, followed by deep gay panic.

.

#I think the transition from platonic friends to a couple was very gradual the line was blurry #even if they weren't a proper serious item yet their relationship was definitely romantically tinted #by the time they rented that tiny attic room together #Vasco had figured out his orientation early on he was well past the identity crisis phase #Machete had mountains of religious trauma to work through so his road to self acceptance was rocky but he did reach it eventually #he guilt and shame and doubt kept resurfacing every now and then but the need for love and companionship was stronger #Vasco is naturally tactile and affectionate it doesn't take much to get an occasional hug or back pat or hand holding from him #and Machete had grown in a touch deprived bubble so as soon as he managed to overcome the initial fear and repulsion #he began to metamorphose into the lap dog he probably should've been all along #casual physical closeness was present even before things got lovey-dovey but that doesn't mean there weren't moments of gay panic #answered #skunkbomb

god i want. an au where it dosn't work. where it's just arr g'raha who's woken up, and he doesn't have all these memories and all these people keep looking at him like they're mourning someone. the world has changed and time has changed and all the people he knows have changed, but he hasn't changed, he was just sleeping, just sleeping, and the world nearly ended several times and apparently he helped prevent yet another end but he has no memory of this. they want him to join the scions. he does not know these people. (he barely knows the warrior of light, now, but did he ever truly know them in the first place?) his little sister is alive and well. she looks at him like a ghost. she's changed, and she's older than him now. he acts bratty and loud and brash to cover up the fact that he does not know anything it seems, and he is tired but he was sleeping for so long, so how could he be tired?

he doesn't know these people. they seem to know him. he wonders if he'd killed someone, when it was him and not that exarch who woke up. he wonders if it should have been him who was "killed" in that way, if it is him that lives and not that man who had known and become friends with all these figures from legend. he wonders if he'll always be fated to be a historian one step back from everything, because he simply cannot be a hero.

#bound with thread | original posts #letters in verse | talking #g'raha tia #crystal exarch #hello everyone i am being Incredibly Normal about g'raha tia at -checks time- 12:02 am #you ever think about the fact that arr g'raha is basically killed/replaced when the exarch wakes up in 5.3. because i do. a lot #hi i have brainworms over this man he's SO tragic and i need to hold him gently in my hands like how you cradle a small trembling kitten #genuinely happy about his character growth and progression and happy ending and all but arr g'raha was the one who grabbed my focus #and i do miss a lot of that character sometimes yknow? post-shb g'raha isn't the same person as arr g'raha and that's intentional‚ i think‚ #because he has gone through so much that we didn't see. so much trauma and pain because of the 8th umbral era and that loss he got hit with #and he's not the same person because he's *had* to change so much to keep himself and his people alive and i'm glad he's getting to #experience life to the fullest in endwalker onwards but just. i miss arr g'raha yknow #honestly the silliest thing about it is i miss his student of baldesion tattoo. was a fun little design element you know. #show us the tattoo again squeenix. give him back his red eyeshadow that he had. #give him his bow back i am begging #this has been: incomprehensible ramblings from simon at 12 at night

Absolutely love the idea that it was April who got the boys super into snow days.

Like, pre-April, they probably would view the days as miserable, since as turtles they’re likely more susceptible to the cold and back then they probably had much less to keep warm with.

The cold altogether was just never good to them - and then April comes around and teaches them how to make a snowman. And when it’s done, she pelts them with snowballs. And suddenly, the cold is now fun, and they might still be shivering, but now they’re smiling too.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #obligatory paragraph of text incoming- #but god I love April so much #I kinda implied it in this post but to go further - April is FUN #she’s energetic and quick witted and kind and overall just FUN #and that is so important!!!! #she as April O’Neil is the embodiment of friendliness and that alone got her four whole brothers for life #she’s just - she’s SO GOOD #she GETS the boys and gets what they need and will go about it in her own way #and likewise they’re exactly what she needs too - a group that matches her energy and vibes and gusto and everything #god I Love April #not even just the boys I love her relationship with splinter too #I personally think that interacting with a human being probably helps Splinter humanize HIMSELF #he adores his boys oh of course he does he loves them to the moon and back #but they are also a direct link to his trauma - and a direct reminder of what he now is #so I imagine it’s healing - to interact with a human and not only that but to see her interact with his boys too #I bet it brings a much needed sense of normalcy #and specifically it being April - someone who’s so accepting and kind and fun - I think she brought a lot of great vibes to the hamatos #and a new sense of normalcy that wasn’t there before #and in turn I bet this makes April feel more at ease too because- #the hamatos are WEIRD #and so is April! #and thus they’re so weird that it circles back around to being normal! #this is THEIR normal #they’re family your honor- #APRIL IS ALSO SO INCREDIBLY BRAVE BTW #like soooo brave and daring like she’s so cool???? #sorry she’s my second fave after Leo and I do not gush about her nearly as much as I should I loveeeee her

James Cromwell explaining how he contextualized Logan and Ewan's backstory in preparation for the funeral/eulogy. (x)

The reference to Ewan bringing home dead animals is (I think) from a deleted scene in Season 1, except below the cut.

Interview excerpt from an interview with James Cromwell with Vulture - May 25, 2023

Script excerpt from a deleted scene in "I Went to Market" in Succession - Season One: The Complete Scripts

#so I generally don't editorialize too much on here #but I'm so tempted to write about the above #the way you can see echoes of Logan's trauma in how he raised his own children #how he hated being sent away like Roman - the burden of being banished #how he had his aunt and uncles future expectations thrust upon him like Kendall - the burden of being chosen #how shiv is discounted from this narrative entirely because Logan has no idea how a girl could fit into any of this #because Rose never got to fit into any of it #and then there's Ewan's resentment #So many thoughts #roy family feelings I guess? #logan roy #ewan roy #hbo succession #succession #cast interviews #james cromwell

and now, a break from our normal schedule for my Favorite cat dad and his lovely vagabond son

#JOXTER JOXAREN YOU WILL FOREVER HAVE A PLACE IN MY HEART #he's napping in the back of my skull Always #feral man... scruffy tomcat... absolute Bastard.... #scribble salad #the joxter #snufkin #moominvalley #hes such a tragic character To Me #he did his Best and still got Everything Wrong but he's still Trying To Fix It and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #joxter you are so so so iconic <3 #snufkin as well but joxter... him... #hes gotta be my fav out of the moomin cast #and his character as seen in most if not all fanworks is pretty much Entirely fabricated lmfao #all we got from canon is 'hes an anarchist. hes lazy. hes a bit of snarky little shit. he gets forebodings. he can repair things.' #and the fandom filled in the blanks with Trauma as fandoms are wont to do #but it made him more interesting tbh... #and of course everyone has their own interpretations of him #but i like how it seems most collectively agreed on 'scruffy cat dad who means well but is kinda a bastard <3' #yes yes Yes

Finished TGAAC around 2 1/2 weeks ago but only finished the doodles today. but still, here ya go!

#caluuart #art #dgs spoilers #dgs2 spoilers #tgaa spoilers #tgaa2 spoilers #ace attorney #the great ace attorney #tgaa #dgs2 #not tagging characters bc it's a lot #RAMBLE TIME. so ever since I finished dgs2 I have been listening to the soundtracks and MAN these bang so much #esp as a person who plays the piano and likes music. it's just. good. yeah. some of these do give me psychological dmg tho lmaoo #like kazuma's nocturne theme or his prosecutor theme. or the secret trial theme.... the partners - the game is afoot! theme.... I am normal #WHICH SPEAKING OF! man I love the sholmes + mikotoba partner twist so much even if i got a bit spoiled about it. i just think they're neat. #The partners of all time I think. #Also also the found family!?!?!? I am A SUCKER for found family. they fed me so well. #funny thing was the barok character development surprised me despite the fact that I also expected it since the first game lolol. #I do think he's an interesting character and probably one of the best character development in the game. And that I find his design cool. #oh yeah I didn't draw it but when I saw that albert mentioned that barok is “the darling of the van zieks family” I was genuinely like. #huh? wdym. like man at the time “van zieks” and “little darling” feels wrong in the same sentence. that was until I saw his pre- #-trauma pictures n well. albert isn't wrong. which was a slight surprise to me. #In conclusion: I liked it a lot. and now occupies parts of my brain along with my other brainrots. #They fight for priority in my brain whenever I try to sleep or disassociate lol. Well at least there's more material to think about. #off topic time: arlecchino animation. for the sake of the tag's length I'll just say a few things: #I am very very interested in her story and oh my god father. #My brain has stopped braining now; good night my fellows

One of my favourite early years Sonic and Tails dynamics is Sonic deciding he's gonna adopt Tails after approximately 2 seconds of knowing of his existence whilst little toddler Tails is terrified that Sonic is gonna abandon him like everyone else even after months of them travelling together

#little fox doesn't realise this dude would lay down his life for him in a moment's notice #sonic calls him little bro for the first time and tails is caught so off guard (but is so so happy after gettong over the shock) #sonic and tails #miles tails prower #sonic the hedgehog #tails the fox #unbreakable bond #they're brothers your honor #cosmic truth #tails has abandonment issues #he starts crying once he finally realises that he's got a permanent family #this 8 year old fox can fit so much childhood trauma in it

Seeing some pretty gross posts about Miguel, and... It's actually pretty important that Miles, an Afrolatino character, is both making friends with the younger generation of POC and in direct conflict with the older generation of POC. Like yeah Gwen and Peter B. are still important figures in his life for good and now also bad reasons, but it is Miguel and Jessica who he has an ideological conflict with. It is Hobie who in some ways takes over as a mentor and guide. Margo helps him escape. Pavitr is someone Miles himself helps and gives advice to. The antagonist is not Latino because they wanted to use stereotype shorthand to make everyone understand how dangerous he is, he is Latino because Miles is Latino. And surprise surprise this movie has a lot to say about-- not generational trauma per say, but community trauma. About what happens when shared trauma starts to define the boundaries of who is and who isn't a member of your community, rather than shared passions and shared dreams and shared missions.

#across the spiderverse #miguel o'hara #miles morales #across the spiderverse spoilers #media analysis #it's about the Themes #because. the reason my grandpa doesn't consider himself mexican is because he got out #he did the right and proper american thing and converted and worked his way out of poverty and married a white lady #so he's not mexican anymore he's american. because he doesn't live with the same trauma that the rest of his mexican family live with #and idk #i just think about that a lot #my grandpa is so proud of the way he assimilated #i've never heard him speak spanish #and i know there was a lot more too it and probably i'm reading too much into it #but for miles to say that he can be spiderman without having to suffer for it #that this is his identity not necessarily because he chose it but because he embraced it #and it doesn't have to be bathed in blood to matter... #hm #yeah #good stuff

I think. Alphonse has a lot of dealings with disassociation and being in a body without nerves.
