#late night thinking of wanting you

[autisticrosewilson]

While we're on the topic of De-aging AU's I wanna talk about Jason and Damian if Jason was 14 again real quick.

Do you guys think that Damian looks at this version of Jason, so different from the version he knows, nothing like the person he was told Jason was, and feels uncomfortably seen?

Damian was always told that Jason died because he was reckless, because he disobeyed orders, he was fired as Robin and he got himself killed. A cautionary tale, not a threat to his position. He dismisses Jason because Bruce does, because Dick does, because sometimes even Babs and Alfred do.

That's not the kid that he's looking at now. This Jason is happy, and smart, and full of love that has not yet soured into grief. He hangs on Bruce's every word, trains until his hands bleed and his body gives out to perfect the moves Bruce teaches him. He looks at Bruce with stars in his eyes and he calls him dad.

And Damian can't help but think, that this is the perfect Robin. The perfect son. And if Jason - sweet, loving, strong, Jason - can be fired, can die and have his room locked away and his pictures torn down, can have his last memory as Robin be as A Good Soldier, how could the rest of them ever compete? What could Damian do to stand a chance?

Jason will never grow out of the shadow of Robin, like the rest of them did. As long as Bruce, and Dick, and Babs, and Alfred look at him and see a dead kid who came back wrong, he will never get to be anything else. He will not get to be looked at through who he is now without the shadow of a dead boy looming over him.

And the worst part? Jason is exactly the same person he was back then. Bitter, sure, angry, justifiably, but he is still the boy with too much love in his heart and righteous fury festering in his gut. He is exactly the same boy who threw himself in front of an explosion to save his mother.

(The lines between the mother that betrayed him and the father that disgraced him are so very blurred. Fire or blade or crowbars or fists it does not matter. It ends the same way it always does because Jason Todd always dies, in every universe, in every timeline, Jason dies and crawls out only to be killed again and again and again.)

#dc #jason todd #damian wayne #de aging #I personally am obsessed with the headcanon that they met in the league which lends it's own sense of tragedy #but this is a more canon take on it #Bruce Wayne critical #do you guys think he watched Jason fall back into old routines and is so unbelievably angry because none of it matters #do you think he listens to Jason talk about homework and his grades and his clubs and the colleges he wants to go to #and all he can think of is how unfair it is #that Jason never gets it. That everything about who he was got distorted and exaggerated and there was nothing left of this boy #that the love and blood and late nights never mean anything because this is a ghost walking the halls disproving all the legends #what is the prodigal son to do when he comes home but the locks have changed

broke: eddie munson has handcuffs in his room cause he likes kinky sex 

woke: eddie munson has handcuffs in his room because he was once arrested by officer Callahan for possession of marijuana at a halloween party they busted his junior year, but as soon as Callahan sat him on the pavement and turned around, Eddie jumped up and hauled ass into the forest until he reached the trailer park. His uncle had to pick the lock to get them off his dumbass nephew (making eddie swear to 1. never ask how his uncle knew how to pick locks and 2. never get fucking arrested again) Eddie kept the handcuff’s as a memoir of the night he outran the Hawkins Police Department. 

#tj talks #eddie munson #stranger things season 4 #sorry i just think its funny #hopper: what. what do you MEAN he 'got away' #callahan: HES VERY FAST AND SLIPPERY OKAY #but fr i cant imagine hopper like. giving a shit #probably has been called on that kid more than once and each time its jsut that tired sigh of 'i dont want to be here either okay' #edit: dont turn this post into a 'if you characterize eddie as anything other than my own personal hc i get mad' thing because it isnt!! #this is a simple littoe heeha i had late at night #relaistically the cuffs are most likely accessories/decor i just thought it was funny #but i keep seeing people do the 'THIS is canon ajd if you think otherwise shut the fuck up' #so lets all just be calm ajd play nice in our little fake land of blorbos

id: a digital fullbody drawing of a knight, visible from the side. besides silver armor, he’s wearing cowboy chaps with a floral pattern and spurs. his helmet also has a white, blue and brown feather attached to it. he’s lifting his legs up slightly and one of his hands is on his belt, while he’s raising the other one up and pointing and something. the background is black. end id

#idk i've just been thinking about knight a lot lately. if you haven't noticed #art #i was going to do the alone on a friday night? joke again (because of the pose (unintentional)) but i wanted to do it in old english which #i don't really understand so whatever

Older Mike and Will babysitting their niece and saying "she gets that from your side of the family" to each other anytime she displays certified weird girl behavior (which is often have u seen her parents)

#Mike: I want one Jonathan: for the low price of free you can have her Nancy: if you let my weirdo brother take our daughter i will divorce u #will holding the baby and watching the three of them go at it #Jonathan would counter with they can't afford a divorce btw #i really do think Jancy baby prompts Byler to adopt a kid #like in my head she's born late 1997 and they adopt in early 2000 #I imagine she is obsessed with her cousin and that's when Nancy and Jonathan are like yea ok we can afford another baby #ANYWAYS #late night blorbo posting #stranger things #jancy #byler #will byers #mike wheeler

The fanon interpretation of Vox and Valentino's relationship really is just Satan and Saddam Hussein in South Park huh.

#which I don't think is necessarily wrong? #but I DO think there's one key difference: Vox hits back #like obvs u should leave ur partner if they start hitting u even if you can fight back #but I just don't think Vox is as powerless in this situation as fans initially thought he would be lol #which means their relationship will probably end up more on the “fun to watch” side of the toxic scale #that one dynamic where they just shove two shitty guys together not bcuz they work but bcuz theyd be a fuckin trainwreck y'know? #either way I still think Vox should dump him :) #hazbin hotel #hazbin vox #hazbin valentino #staticmoth #south park #sp satan #I am not. I am not tagging this as Saddam Hussein. I refuse. #I don't have a tag for early morning ramblings so Im just gonna use the late night one #cuz tHIS IS MY BLOG I DO WHAT I WANT!!!!!!! #late night ramblings

“You have your own base, you know.”

“Hm?”

Gem watches Pearl look up from where she has once again managed to sneak into her bed in the middle of the night, curled up on the side Gem isn’t using. She takes up remarkably little space for someone who is both as tall and as buff as she is, Gem thinks; Gem’s pretty sure Pearl could confine herself to a single pillow and nothing else if she tried hard enough, curl into a small enough ball to become nearly invisible.

Gem’s not sure what she thinks about that. She used to sprawl out.

“You have your own base,” Gem says. “I mean, I think you do. It’s not under more construction than I think it is, right?”

“Mhm,” Pearl says, still mostly curled into a little space.

“I’m just saying, your own bed is probably more comfortable. I kick in my sleep. And I know that bruises.”

“Don’mind,” Pearl says sleepily. “Bruises okay.”

Gem is quiet for a moment.

“No Pearl, they aren’t.”

Pearl seems to startle some. She starts to sit up, still taking up as little space as possible. “You can’t help it,” she says, suddenly almost desperately awake. “You can’t - I know you can’t help it. I don’t mind. You haven’t kicked hard enough to break anything. I don’t - they don’t matter. It’s warmer here. Less hollow, I don’t feel where he should - it’s better. Please don’t kick me out.”

“I’m - Pearl, I’m not kicking you out,” Gem says.

“Please don’t,” Pearl says.

“I wouldn’t kick you out. I just - Pearl, you aren’t okay.”

“I’m fine,” Pearl says. “I’m fine. I’m - nothing’s wrong with me.”

“You aren’t,” Gem says.

“You can’t help kicking. Bruises aren’t that bad. Can I just...”

“You can keep sleeping here,” Gem says. “You can keep - I’ll make a bigger bed. Or wait for you to come in, so I don’t sleep facing where I keep kicking you.”

Pearl falls quiet.

“Oh,” she says. “Okay. That’s - that’s fine.”

“I just...”

“I’m fine.”

“What did they do to you?”

“Nothing I deserved, I think, but also nothing I didn’t deserve.”

“What does that mean?”

Pearl doesn’t answer. Gem watches her for a while. She hates this. She wishes they’d stop doing it. The first time had been bad enough, but Pearl had been mostly okay, and Gem had put it aside, and Pearl acts mostly okay during the day, it’s just - it’s just this is the fifth night in a row, and the first time she’s gotten her to talk. It’s just...

“Alright,” Gem says. “Alright. It’s still late. We can go back to sleep. Alright.”

“Mhm,” Pearl says. “Night, Scott.”

Gem swallows.

“Night, Pearl.”

#hermitcraft #double life smp #hc x dlsmp #a bee fic #pearlescentmoon #geminitay #gem is a good friend. she is trying her best. she doesn't know what to do with this #and i think pearl is very good at being totally fine when she isn't trying to fall asleep alone at night #the problem is that sometimes when it's late all the things you can be fine about during the day are no longer fine #also idk man i just wanted to write sad dialogue sometimes that's the mood

#my laptop died while I was making these... they don't want you to see his big sweetie pie face #james spader #alan shore #boston legal #* #imagine alan showing up at your door in the middle of the night. maybe he was gonna ask you something. personal #maybe he's a little tipsy for courage. or he's just pretending to be drunker than he is #but then he loses his nerve and says he was thinking about the case you're working on and wanted to talk about it #but you know. and he knows. and he stutters out a few questions about the witness list #politely refuses your invitation to come in. it's late. he's embarrassed he came. kisses your cheek #or maybe he comes in!!!! these tags are a choose your own adventure game

[perfectlyripeclementine]

kinda in the mood for someone to be pining over me tbh

#the yearning has been unreasonable lately #is it too much to ask to want someone who can’t stop thinking of me and feels my absence in their bed when they fall asleep at night??? #(somewhat) #(the love melodrama is fun and poetic but it’s rough) #(so we’re trying to tone it down) #(but sometimes a handsome they could use a quick fix you know??) #yearning

Can you explain more what you mean when you say “an identity based framework is inconsistent with material analysis”?

I'm incredibly critical of the idea that simply having a particular social identity renders one 'oppressed' or 'oppressed enough' to speak on particular issues; if your biggest grievance is how people speak to/about you and not your material reality, then you're doing comparatively well.

For context, I think there are four main forms of structural disadvantage that we should structure our discourse around:

being institutionalised on the basis of one's group, e.g. imprisonment, confinement in certain places like residential schools, confinement in mental health facilities;

being subject to violence on the basis of one's group, e.g. domestic violence, conversion therapy, forceful removal from family/culture;

being impoverished on the basis of one's group, e.g. living in poverty (not just being poor), being prevented from earning or owning money; and

lacking institutional representation, e.g. in politics, in administrative decision-making, in planning decisions.

I find that a lot of online 'activists' can't actually describe what they believe without relying on an identity framework; they'll say that [x] is oppressed, but they won't be able to explain how [x] fits into any of those categories (or whether there should be a fifth category) - they'll just assume that material consequence follows group identification.

#i think the problem is that the vast majority of online activists are middle-class and haven't experienced structural disadvantage #like i don't consider being called a slur a form of systemic discrimination (like being impoverished); i think it's just hurtful #you're going to have to dm me if you want more detail and some examples; my opinions are Unpopular #anon #identity politics #radblr #(i'm happy to hear whether others would add any other categories!) #sorry for the word rant hope it makes sense i wrote it late last night

Got to stolen century in my relisten and started tearing up at work because of magnus carving the duck. Just me in the back room, crying over the dish sink for normal reasons.

#the adventure zone #taz balance #taz #it gets me every time #I was anticipating that scene all shift #and wanted to leave before I got to it bc I knew I would start crying and didn't want to cry at work ahfkahfkka #unfortunately I had to stay an hour and a half late bc yayyy labor day #I also started tearing up at merle with the church of fungston. for some reason. #merle has never really made me that emotional before but I guess now in my old age I'm more struck by his love of life #i understand you better now merle. as a twenty-something I really see the appeal in being able to love life despite the hardships #(this is a joke. I am almost 24 and do not think I'm old) #(I do find merles brand of optimism very good nowadays though. I also have a zest for life and a need to complain about things) #I managed to not cry at the lup and Barry duet though which I am quite proud of #probably bc I spent like half an hour watching lup animatics last night and got my tears out then #I'm having a normal time #normal as hell #most people probably cry over podcasts at their grocery store job #I think that's a standard experience #especially when those podcasts are from 7 years ago and you're still not over them #standard #fluffle talks

[liquidstar]

Oh fuck tomorrow I'm going to be a little birthday boy I keep almost forgetting

#it's probably bc i dont have specific plans im just playing it by ear based on how the newborn will be #(the amount of time I'll be needed w the other kids basically depends on how much sleep the parents got the night before lol) #so i dont wanna be out too late... ahh i miss the club bro i wanna go #i love kids just to be clear which is why i do this but i also think I've gotten any child rearing out of my system #so i dont want my own. in a way it's freeing bc my future will just be for me and i won't have to worry about this stuff long term lol #ah but if I'm free on the 4th theres also something else i wanna do so maybe i shouldn't get drunk anyway #maybe just wait for the next free day 🤷‍♂️ we'll see #I've been highover BAD though shit lasted until like 8pm the next day. and i had to take the day off w the kids #luckily there happened to be other family there that took over but dude it sucked. i remember trying to help them in the morning like #ok sorry 4 year old trying to find pants i have to lay down in your bed you can do it by yourself i believe in you #so. taking the day off was a good call for their sakes too lol #he was fine just to be clear he could've done it on his own either way. i was just unhelpful 😅 i promise im usually way more attentive

[hermanunworthy]

#is this a shared experience? #i stg no matter how hard i try the swedish pronunciation always sounds wrong when i say it #but i can’t call them ‘will’ or ‘willy’ and ‘simon’ (pronounced sigh-mon) #it just feels wrong #also while making this i realized that i always call them wilmon but since it’s a combo of their names would it be ‘vilmon’ #how far do the swedish roots go #all i want to do is talk about my silly little swedish show but i feel like the dumbest most pretentious fool when i say #‘yeah so wille (ville) is the crown prince and simon (si-mon) is a non res at hillerska (hillershka) #like smth about how i say it is wrong and i truly don’t think i can fix it #so i guess i gotta suffer #that being said i’m a swedish pronunciation and swedish dub hoe. it just sounds stupid coming from me #also i was truly on the struggle bus trying to type all the names out phonetically for both languages so i hope you appreciated it #young royals #young royals shitpost #my yr thoughts #late night yr #mine
