kicking my feet and thinking about Husk and Niffty hunting together for Alastor when he's tired, overworked, or even recovering from his injuries post-s1, bringing back a gagged and squirming demon for him to rip into while the two of them share their own meal together (maybe even using the scraps left over when he's done) 🥰

my hot take is that venti is more similar to xie lian than zhongli because:
1. they both love humanity (venti saving mond, xie lian’s “i want to save the common people!”)
2. theyre both out of money
3. other gods dont take them seriously
4. their the laughing stock of their world (u cannot compare xie lian who is so wildly ridiculed to zhongli who is so wildly respected when venti is right there!!! zhongli literally calls venti a disgrace to the arts!!)
5. has a history with street performance (venti is a bard, xie lian did all sorts of stuff to survive poverty)
6. has lost friends (either thru death or just growing apart ex: nameless bard and xianle trio)
7. have complicated history with faces
8. has a hat

I’ll write this eventually but have an idea to sate my minor character obsession. Behold, a story for the queen of my heart- Kristen Kringle. Where when Ed sees the bruises, he immediately starts breaking down because childhood trauma and after helping him get a hold of it this is what gives Kristen the courage to leave Tom but she understands he won’t leave without a fight.
She writes a breakup speech for after dinner but after a massive argument between her and Dougherty over her cooking what he wants in her kitchen, something within her snaps. They have a massive fight that echoes through the walls. Edward arrives too late here so he doesn’t catch Tom by surprise, but he gets out of his car just before the fight starts. He hears Kristen in danger and finds the door carelessly unlocked. But before he can do anything, he watches Kristen violently hack Dougherty to death with a butcher cleaver (on a related note: this is when Ed fully falls in love with her). She’s mortified but Edward promises to help with the body and promises to give a full crash course on getting away with murder.
They bury Dougherty together- Edward finds out he’s good at hiding crimes, Kristen finds out she likes committing them. The two vow to do much the same for the terrible men in the city who’d lay their hands on the innocent. And so, Gotham’s new murder couple arises.
I imagine that they’ll eventually part ways in the second season when Ed gets carted off to Arkham and Kristen in his absence grows into her own killer. But then I imagine them having an adorable reunion as friends which they end up staying as to season 5. Were they cute as a couple? Yes
Are they now absolutely insufferable as friends? Yes absolutely.
It’s like Ed and Barbara but Kristen is there when Ed confides about The Fireplace Scene TM (you know the one) and is the one to shake some sense into him. Maybe I’ll write about the repercussions of Isabella if this ends up going somewhere.

at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"
like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.
"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."
... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.
and i'd still keep writing.
i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistent. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.
i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer, eviscerate me - and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley
"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"
and i see a kid drowning. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.
it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.
you create because you're greedy.

Clone’s Best Friend
“Cute dog!” the girl says. “What breed is he?”
“Uh,” blinks Kon. "Are you asking what breed Superdog is?"
“Uh, duh?”
Well. She’ll have to forgive him his stunned expression, ‘cause he doesn’t usually run into other dog walkers on this path. This is, of course, because “path” is used in the loosest sense, the one that connotates direction and not tread ground, and the “walk” bit is entirely inapplicable, with all of them currently flying one thousand feet above sea level.
“Cujo’s a rescue,” she continues, swinging her feet in the sky, “so we don’t know for sure, but my sister thinks part husky, part shar pei. Half-and-half, like me!”
Cujo is also, apparently, half green and half glowing. He wiggles happily in a play-bow. It’s very cute, except for the way he’s the size of a small house.
Krypto’s tough, though. He barks and chases his new friend through cloud cover. Gamely, Cujo flees. They frolic in the chilly condensation, occasionally poking a head out before diving back in, like a fox in a snowdrift.
Neither of them see anything surprising about this. It’s all good fun. And, well. Krypto’s always been a good judge of character.
Kon turns back to the girl and gives her a megawatt smile.
“He’s Kryptonian. Like me. But he looks like a white lab!”

@lgbtcorp said to hide somewhere is not surrender, it is trickery.
most don’t consider him to be clever, and maybe that’s true. he can’t say he’s as sharp-witted as the rest of gotham’s criminal underground; he lacks the aptitude for ingenious traps or complex schemes. the closest he’s ever come to outwitting anyone is when he manages to slip away into the crumbling maze of sewer tunnels that were dug so long ago most have no idea where they still lead. doesn’t really feel right to call it trickery when it’s just memorization on his part. and maybe a handful of instinct.
he lets out a grunt and shifts his weight from one foot to the other. uncertain as to what exactly her words are trying to imply. whether it’s a compliment or an insult, or just some sort of observation on her part. somewhere the tunnel ceiling drips into the pool of water he’s standing in and he feels each minute ripple despite how far away they are. why is she down here?
“ who said i was hidin’? ”
besides, can it really be called hiding when he lives almost every moment of his life down here? when it’s common knowledge that every inch of sewer pipe in gotham belongs to him? which brings him back to the question: why is she down here?
“ but you didn’t come here jus’ to tell me that, did you? ”
