Remus: What happened and why is Harry bald? I was only gone for 15 minutes.
Sirius: He said he didn't like his name.
Sirius: So I shaved his head.
Remus: And what did that change about his Name exactly?
Sirius: He isn't Harry anymore. Just Potter.

something heart-wrenching about the roman/gerri scene in 4.07 is that roman regretted firing gerri the instant he walked out of that room and he tried to get ken to undo it right away and he tried to get frank to smooth it over after, and when he approaches her, his technique, in lieu of acknowledging the awful way he treated her, is to pretend it never happened or wasn’t significant or wasn’t real and now they’re just back to their normal vibe, they’re still friends and she’s not fired. (he was just feeling fire-ish!) which is what happened every time logan was abusive to roman, and so roman’s used to rolling with reality kind of just rewriting itself around your suffering not mattering, and the bad things always going away. like you don’t look at it head-on, you just keep going. he teases her and asks her for advice because that’s the only way he can engage with her again, not because he’s oblivious to how monumentally he screwed up. (and it kinda surprised me that he was so determined to erase their recent fest of badness that he went all the way back to, like, their early-s3 relationship dynamic. going WAY back in time! gerri, please show off how smart and hot you are!) but gerri has the strength to draw boundaries and shut that shit down immediately -- although not soon enough to save herself from some heartbreak -- instead of giving him a pass for mimicking the abusive behavior of his father. roman is at his worst in this ep, but the reason behind it tracks so well with what’s shaped him psychologically and emotionally, and it’s so Bleak.

elaborating on a throwaway line in this in which I referenced robin telling one of steddie's daughters to pull a fire alarm
So Robin and Nancy have elected to remain childless. Among other reasons, they love their jobs, and their jobs involve a lot of travel (plus women can still have happy and fulfilling lives without pursuing motherhood, blah blah blah).
Despite not wanting children of their own, they do still like kids and love being aunts to Steve and Eddie’s daughters. They make an effort to take them off their dads’ hands for a day at least once every month or so.
The first time Robin and Nancy take all three girls, Moe is 5, Robbie is 3, and Hazel is about 6 months old. At the time, Moe and Robbie are very into being fancy – tea parties, and dressing up as princesses, and Eddie’s been on a kick of reading to them old books about tragic children – think Secret Garden and A Little Princess – and Moe’s just old enough to start getting into American Girl Dolls and she’s obsessed with Samantha (“of course she likes the fanciest one the best,” Ed had grumbled about this, “She’s you to a goddamn T, Stevie.”), so they figured that taking the girls to Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts (where Robin works as a curatorial chair) would be a good idea, because they could get all dressed up and act like proper ladies.
Secretly, Steve thought they were crazy. He and Eddie are hesitant to even bring the girls to the children’s museum these days nevermind a prestigious fine arts museum, but he’s also aware that they tend to behave a hell of a lot better around other people than they do around their dads (also, he and Eddie haven’t had a kid-free day together since even before Hazel was born, so he keeps his mouth shut).
It all goes completely smoothly, actually, up until it takes a dramatic downward spiral. They do get very dressed up, and before they head over to the museum, they have brunch at a tea room where Robin flexes the history half of her art history education to tell the girls all about “fancy people” decorum. Then, about halfway through their tour of the museum, three-year-old Robbie points at the one non-art object installed in the wall – a bright red fire alarm – and asks, “What’s that say?”
Had Nancy been asked this question, she would have said something like, “That’s a fire alarm. We only touch fire alarms if there’s a fire. If there was a fire here, you would pull the handle and it would make a loud noise so everyone knows to get out of the building.”
Unfortunately for the entire museum that Saturday afternoon, Robbie doesn’t ask Nancy.
She asks Robin.
And Robin tells her, “It says ‘pull.’”
Nancy’s call to Steve goes something like this:
“Hi. Just want to let you know before you see it on the news that your daughter managed to evacuate the entire museum.”
“What?”
“Robin told her to do it.”
“Please elaborate before I have a heart attack.”

Oh wait this is fucked up actually. Marcy grew up around Simon while he was actually already under the effects of the crown (both physically and mentally). He was already unraveling by the time they found each other, even if he still felt like he was 'himself', so Simon as we know him, regular-ass Simon, would be in ways a kind of stranger to her. Physically, in his appearance and presence decoupled from the effects of the crown; situationally, what with them not being in a barren wasteland and whatnot; emotionally and personally, with Simon maybe doing things or showing himself to be things that Marcy didn't know to expect. And add to that how much they've both changed over the course of their lives since they separated...
While Simon managed to see her life through Ice King's eyes for a while, I like to imagine the memory is fuzzy at best and entirely unreliable at worst, so — in a way, truly, their reunion is them getting to know each other all over again, in a new dynamic, but with the base of that same old, foundational relationship; that same old, old love.
And I'm so normal about it.

Thinking about how much contempt Harrow shows for flesh magic and flesh in general like it’s boring, but she was also made to pick apart splatted bodies at like 4 years old and watch the flesh literally rot off or be boiled off so many people, so now she’s literally drawn to the only two babes whose flesh is basically incorruptible and are also the least likely to be able to die and leave her behind so—

Irondad fic ideas #114
Tony has many different nicknames for Peter, and he has programmed FRIDAY to use all of them
Peter is also prone to getting stopped by security and various other employees due to the fact that he looks completely grown up and like he belongs there thank you very much
This leads to a situation in which the many different corners of Stark Industries - after inquiring of FRIDAY their own versions of "who tf is this kid?" - all know him by different names
On one floor he's Roo. On another, Crockett. Mr. Parker. Bambino. Kid. Junior...the list goes on
This only becomes a problem when employees attempt to talk about their strange new...cryptid? boss? intern?... to each other
