#mostly mundane

[kyofsonder]

We don't often make up-front posts about our system or the people in it, but we have a sudden desire to say this into the Tumblr void and no good arguments against doing so.

Having your speaking and/or thinking accent suddenly shift at a random moment for no apparent reason is a hell of a specific experience, isn't it? Suddenly, your mouth just wants to take a different shape and your words comes out in a different way and it's not even necessarily an accent you're regularly exposed to or have a reason to mirror or want to practice. It's just there, all of the sudden, and you ride it out until you either feel it fade or have to mask it around others. It's. A hell of a thing, is all we can think to say.

We're always co-con to some degree, too, so we'll feel the ebb and flow of it as the accent-holder is closer to and further from our shared consciousness. It'll warp our accent into something between our usual/default one and whatever the accent-holder has.

Maybe we've posted about this before and forgotten, but it's weird and fascinating to us every time. Speaking patterns changing is already both those things, but whole accent shifts are... another level.

Being plural is wild, truly. We'll probably never stop being surprised, even by aspects/experiences of it we've known a thousand times over.

I am such a slut for Danny having supernatural strength and being able to kill someone with a single slap because he’s used to fighting ghosts who are built Sturdy (and literally can’t die, that is very helpful in a sparing partner) so he has to learn such meticulous control when he moves to Gotham where he starts regularly getting into scuffles with humans who think he’s an easy target (he looks like he has the sturdiness of a wet newspaper) and the whole time he’s more stressed about not drawing the Bats attention by being too good or accidentally killing someone so he has to walk that fine line of acting like a scrawny loser and dipping out at his first chance without being clocked as a meta.

Danny, laying on the ground and getting kicked repeatedly by a thug: *tries to angle himself so the guy can kick out a knot in his back*

Danny: *deadpan* oh, ow, stop that hurts, oof

Robin, watching from the rooftop and recognizing the dramatics from the Supers: father there is a meta

Batman, also watching and having flashbacks to Clark’s earlier days: *so so tired and already mentally getting the adoption paperwork ready*

#danny 🤝 peter parker 🤝 the supers #having such carefully maintained control at all times #sure danny is used to doing mundane things with his powers now but fights… his years of Ghost Brawls are really biting him in the ass here #the others learned how to fight (mostly) humans first and foremost so it’s now more natural for them to manage their power levels #danny is so worried about accidentally killing someone after every brawl with a ghost because the power level difference is so insane #he has to relearn how much force is acceptable after each all-out fight with a ghost #dpxdc #dpxdc drabble #dpxdc prompt #vee’s writing #vee’s prompts

I'm definitely projecting but Machete with religous/contamination OCD with a particular emphasis on cleanliness of the soul.

At least to some degree, I'd say.

#the symptoms of contamination ocd sound correct but they could be just a part of his overall health anxiety #answered #anonymous #he has sort of an one sided love-hate relationship with God #so it depends on the day how much he worries about spiritual purity #his most pressing concerns tend to be a lot more mundane and perceivable #mostly

Hiya! First of all your blog’s interface is so cute i’m rolling on the floorrrrrrr

Second of all your writing is absolutely amazing, i’ve just finished reading “the pizza delivery girl’s survival guide to gotham city” and lemme tell u i can’t wait for the next chapter cause absolute gold-

I wanted to ask what your thoughts are on Jason and day-to-day life outside of costume. Like, dude HAS to go outside as himself at least every once in a while, out of pure necessity. How do you think he goes on about it?

Aw, thank you, I'm glad you like my blog interface and my fic. I think it depends on how much he's progressed in processing his trauma, to be honest!

I imagine when he first moved back in Gotham, he avoided going out as much as possible, for a multitude of reasons. First, because he was still reeling emotionally from Bruce enacting project Knightfall (aka faking his own death), he was recovering from the injuries he sustained during the events of Arkham Knight (and of course, the injuries he got from the Joker). Most importantly, he is adjusting to living in a city he once hated enough to want to destroy.

I feel like those first few weeks were painful for him. Every place is filled memories, and while not all of them are bad memories, they often feel too painful to revisit. He likely spent most of his time cooped up in a safehouse (which was established as something he makes no effort to make comfortable), only going out when he absolutely had to. Interacting with the city and its people as little as possible. While I don't think the Joker ever meant him to survive his torture, the amount of scars and physical injuries he bears means that a lot of his interactions bring a lot of (misplaced) guilt and shame. Did that shopkeep spend too long looking at his face, his scar? Maybe he'll pass by some hole-in-the-wall shop and remember that he and Dick and Barbara would cool down there after patrols. The ramen, he'll think, is surprisingly good. The owner is a smiling, heavyset man who insists that they never pay for their meals. Maybe he'll even take a single step toward the shop, only to remember that the scars on his hands make it so it's hard to hold cutlery without shaking. That there are days when it's physically painful to eat. And he'll shake his head and walk away.

But I think the more he interacts with PG in the story and the more he fixes his relationship with his family, the more he'll be able to interact with Gotham City. Maybe going to the grocery won't be treated like a military supply run. Maybe he'll look up from his carefully-curated list and realize a type of candy Barbara used to be obsessed with is back in stock now. Maybe he'll put it in his cart, and for the first time in a while, he doesn't have to think about what he did to her as the Arkham Knight. One day, he'll wake up before his alarm and remember that you used to talk about watching the sun rise over Gotham Bay. He'll take a long walk along the shoreline and watch the way the sky turns into soft shades of pink and orange, and he'll be surprised at the realization that there are still beautiful things in Gotham. Maybe your face will flash in his mind, and he'll think that perhaps he shouldn't be so surprised, after all. Maybe one day, after a long night of patrol, he'll pass by the ramen shop again and this time, he decides to stay. The only thing that has changed is the owner, who's gained weight and a few gray hairs, but his smile is still the same. He'll bring Jason's order without asking, and he'll insist that he doesn't have to pay for it. Eating doesn't hurt as much as he feared. In fact, some days, he can move his hands without feeling pain. This is one of the good days. Maybe on that good day, he'll be surprised to find that the ramen is still good. That he can think of the days he used to stay here with his family after patrols, exchanging combat tips and juicy bits of gossip. And this time, he's able to smile.

#ask #anon #jason todd #jason todd x reader #it is actually SO important to me that PG loves gotham city while for the early chapters jason mostly sees it as a duty to be borne #jason learning to fall in love with gotham city all over again #jason finding beauty in the mundane #i just woke up after a 24 hr shift the other day so here have some word vomit

there's something to be said about how class differences are shown in aof's works and how so little mainstream series actually show everyday life outside that fantasy bubble of upper/upper middle class people living in villas being able to own and maintain their own modes of transportation all that to say i was just really excited to see metro represented in thai show, love that underground tubes and fast trains

#last twilight #oh to have metro and not having to live with mpk #i'm also biased towards series that are allowed to have more urban locations #i do sometimes feel claustrophobic when show switches only between few places that are mostly in buildings #and here mhok not only shows the outside world to day but also us viewers and i love it #there are probably more thai series with metro scenes but for me it was first time #and i know it's such a mundane thing but it got me really excited

Real talk: i have been pretty absent from this blog (i wouldn't say slacking necessarily because it is first and foremost a hobby, a means of communication second, and i do not consider it a job to any degree). Do not worry, nothing bad has happened, and a big part of it is rediscovering my love of literature. Got my hands on a copy of Thomas Kinsella's The Táin, read The Handmaid's Tale, and recently finished Ivanhoe through audiobook.

I've already been singing the praises of the Táin Bó Cúailnge so i'll spare you having to read through that gushing. Ivanhoe is incredible and shockingly sensitive on the topic of antisemitism for something written by an early 19th century Christian author intended for a majority Christian audience. The scenes with Robin Hood also filled me with a childish glee and i think it was suppose to be a surprise that this guy is Robin Hood but he introduces himself as Locksley and wins an archery contest and leads a gang of outlaws in the woods, including a hermit who refers to Alan-a-Dale quite a bit so it's very obvious to a modern reader. Handmaid's Tale was also as good as i've heard it was, but there's a specific detail i want to discuss that feels relevant to how i think of this blog and how others use it.

I've read the reviews and the plot synopses amd analyses, i knew about the epilogue that frames the story as a historical document a century or so in the future. This did not surprise me. What did catch me by surprise, and something i feel is entirely overlooked, is that this story of an oppressive theocratic regime that uses Biblical precedence to excuse extreme atrocities of human rights violations and turned out to not even last very long, is contextualized as the topic of a discussion hosted by First Nations academics who study white people cultures. You can be pedantic and say "oh but technically they're only First Nations coded because it's presented as a transcript with no physical descriptions" and to a degree you would be right; but when you see names like Maryann Crescent Moon and Johnny Running Dog used for professors of a University of Denay (an anglo-phonetic spelling of Diné/Dene) in Nunavit, there isn't much room for speculating what ethnicity they're supposed to be.

There are so many little details in the book referencing Indigenous genocide. Details suggesting forms of genocide Atwood would be familiar with as a Canadian citizen. To only bring up religious fanaticism and patriarchal regressive politics in Middle Eastern nations like Iran and Afghanistan as well as the United States as inspirations for a surface level five minute summary is one thing, but to ignore all the anti-Indigenous policies that are also obvious inspirations (literally just read the passages about how the Narrator/Offred's daughter was taken from her, renamed, and given to a "proper home" to get what i mean, it's that blatant) when the iconic epilogue makes it as explicit as it can be without writing "THESE ARE NATIVE ISSUES" in big red letters? I won't lie to you, it feels like a slap to the face. Especially when the take away message of such a conclusion seems to be that Native peoples will outlive these regimes.

I wish writing anything longer than 4k was not such an involved exercise time and mental burden wise for me because I would have loved to write a broadchurch fic hardy asks ellie to drive him to scotland for his dad's funeral.

like maybe he recently received a shock from his pacemaker/icd so he temporarily can't drive, and public transportation would take way too long for what is a 24 hour visit, so he asks her, thinking she can drop him off, enjoy a nice day in scotland and drive him back but ofc the moment his family sees her they question who she is, chastising him for the inappropriateness of bringing a new gf to a funeral. easy enough misconception to correct, except hardy -- in classic hardy fashion -- has not told them anything about his heart problems and is not particularly willing to do so now given that his dad also died of heart disease. anyway cue fake dating, explorations dysfunctional families and whether we are doomed to repeat the past and the mortifying ordeal of being known.

#broadchurch #alec hardy #fic ideas #i want it to be the case that no one is that sad that hardy's dad is gone #his family (other than hardy) proclaims to be and they go thru the motions #but ultimately -- he was an unkind self-centred man in a perfectly mundane way and the world is not any worse now that he is gone #bc i want hardy to think -- between his own standoffishness and the history of heart disease -- that this is what it will be like #when HE dies #mostly so that miller can tell him off skjdhfsdf #no this has nothing to do with growing up always being told im like my (unkin self centred) dad by my mom why do you ask

The funny thing is that even though Coraline grew up in a trench with other sea monsters, she seen frightening stuff, but she was sheltered so things like ghosts or even sea snails scare her at first.

#she’s a big baby lol #like when she first meet Gary she freaked out #mostly because she never saw a sea snail before #but things that scare others don’t bother her but mundane thing to others do #💬 chy chatter 💬

who in the torchwood team would hate nardole the most.

#torchwood #doctor who #nardole #dr who #dw #cannot figure it out #the one (1) thing im sure of is this: andy and nardole would get along SO well. they would LOVE each other. they meet like‚ ONE time in the #presence of at least one torchwood team member & like INSTANTLY hit it off in the background while whoever it is investigates smth and when #theyre done they come back to find nardole nd andy having a very quietly intense discussion abt smth extremely mundane & the team member #is like that photo of ben affleck with a cigarette. & then gwen finds out later that nardole and andy meet up every week to play mah-jong #also nardole would NOT fuck andy theyre just friends. and both of them get defensive if anyone ever suggests it. #in particular nardoles response is: (in a high and mighty tone of voice) 'actually. i dont sleep with cops thank you.' andys like 'whats #that supposed to mean' (a little offended) and nardoles like 'no a-dog its just a bit too messy for me‚ what with the legal system and all. #i dont do lawyers either. beyond clingy you know how it is' and andys like 'yea you know what thats reasonable i guess' #ari opinion hour #also andy DOES NOT KNOW THIS but thats the only thing preventing nardole from trying to fuck him like a bird doing one of those #weird ass mating displays. thank god for this also because it means we are all spared from whatever That would be (which‚ awkward‚ mostly) #ALSO YES NARDOLE WOULD HAVE A NICKNAME FOR ANDY BY THE END OF THAT FIRST CONVERSATION.

Rereading agot really messes with me like ive always been a Sansa stan, since the very beginning, but reading it now, realising that people were judging a drunk scared 11 year old girl for "lying" about the arya/joff/mycah altercation, even though it happened several days ago (might I add!)... & she got her "comeuppance" (lady being killed) immediately. What's wrong with you.

#its like i also hate characters for mundane reasons (mostly cause theyre boring) but sansa?? someone explain the hate

[nostalgia-tblr]

hi, I've never watched loki but i read your posts bcos meta i dont understand is fun, anyway, from what I've gathered, i feel like the maybe the most "lore-accurate" sylki real world au is maybe something alone the lines of donor conceived secret half-siblings, i think its one of the few ways you get the appropriate level of interestingly fucked-up,

ftr im also rarely a real world au person, bcos they never have the appropriate level of fucked up that the og media manages

There's twincest AUs, Anon! (Though I like to think the fact that Sylki Incest AUs have to drop the selfcest angle entirely proves that those things are Very Different. But also I can see how it could turn into Siblingcest AUs.)

I tried for SEVERAL MINUTES to think of Real World AU selfcest equivalents and one of them was "actors playing the same character" but that felt a bit too much like RPF :|

I wish there was a less-judgey-sounding term for Mundane AUs because they're a subcategory of Real World AUs (and seemingly the most popular?) in that they go for the MOST normal and everyday things like coffee shops and high schools and so on. I suppose things like Astronauts AUs wouldn't hit the same could-be-reality spot for people? I think my (usual) lack of interest in such things is just that my fandoms mostly tend to be scifi or some other thing that's pointedly not the real world and it can be hard to translate some characters into normality? Such as with the lack of a real-world selfcest equivalent, as just discussed :)

Anyway I want a handy term for those sorts of things but one that doesn't make it sound like they all suck by default.

#i did have a phase of thinking up Really Mundane Dr Who AUs where the TARDIS was a bus or whatever #mostly because it felt wrong to do that and i enjoyed having to 'translate' things poorly into real world concepts #replies

[amethysttribble]

You know, I kind of feel like wider fandom trends (tho not only fandom; this is very very present in mainstream media and has bothered me for a long time) has pushed this… preoccupation with oddly strict older&younger sibling dynamics, wherein the older takes care of the younger, and the younger exists as a vessel for the older’s suffering and sacrifice

There’s this weird dynamic of debt, actually? Like, poor put upon Eldest Daughter Syndrome Character #1,348 has done so much for the younger one(s) they should be grateful. And if that younger sibling character is not appropriately Grateful, they are a horrible annoying brat that our sainted eldest must suffer through

In fact, the only way in general to make up for the sin of being the Younger Sibling (implied to be an inherent burden to our theoretical blorbo eldest) is to either be uwu soft and grateful, and/or Step-Up and Take On responsibility for the eldest and provide some comfort to this hurt

It’s all very *waves hand to gesture in Crazy-ex Girlfriend musical number*:

“After everything I’ve done for you-“ “-that I didn’t ask for!”

That younger sibling character is still a character, you know? Not a prop to make the eldest look good or put-upon.

#AT is annoyed by common familial dynamics in fandom post number a thousand #if this breaks containment #I can already see the Farquad ‘younger sibling’ Mem #thing again bitch! #I’m the fucking eldest and was also always eldest in charge of friends and cousins! #I just happen to treat my younger sister as an independent person capable of taking care of herself #also there’s something to be said about a good older sibling not keeping score against a younger but that goes against #the internets preoccupation with ‘fair’ as a system of checks and balances which… touch grass #it’s just sooooo… I want compensation for my suffering! #provided we are talking about a situation where an older sibling had to take on too much- #(which isn’t always the case people will apply this dynamic to the most mundane relationships) #the younger still doesn’t owe you compensation! or gratitude! or just being a vessel for your martyrdom! #that’s a character unto themself do something interesting rather than make them an accessory #and yes. this is in part about Maedhros. #but mostly it’s about supernatural ❤️ #Tribble post
