Dr. Jonathan Crane is in his lab, the acrid scent of chemicals filling the air, and his hands are shaking.

Danny’s health, for the first week that he had him, had been steadily improving at an extremely quick rate. However, his healing had begun to stagnate. Danny said that it was because his body had run out of ectoplasm, and that while there was a lot of ambient ectoplasm in Gotham, he needed a stronger type in order to heal.

And so, that led Dr. Crane here.

He had stolen the research notes from the Penguin years ago regarding his experimentation on him.

(He quite vividly remembers the sound of bone creaking and groaning as it twisted, lengthened. The squelching of shifting tendons and muscles, the strange fabric-like tightening of skin. The feeling of going from man to monster, of losing all claim to his humanity.)

Danny had called him Liminal, part ghost. He had said that he was transformed by, among other things, a kind of synthetic ectoplasm.

Danny needed ectoplasm.

Crane had the research notes. He had every ingredient necessary. And yet, attempt after attempt failed.

The chemical smell burns his nose. His hands tremble.

Dr. Crane is not afraid.

He doesn’t feel fear anymore. He’s tried to, many, many times, but nothing has worked. And yet, his hands are shaking still.

(The horrifying sensation of vertebrae pop-pop-popping along his spine, growing and lengthening. The unbearable itching beneath his skin as toxin glands begin to form. The feeling of his teeth sharpening and elongating, of his skull growing, of his vision changing and brightening. The awful stench of chemicals. The awful stench of ectoplasm.)

Jonathan takes careful note of his shaking hands, his blurring vision, his accelerated heart-rate and shallow breathing.

(Human hands. Human vision. Human heart and lungs and organs.)

He takes note of them, but he does not let that distract him from the task at hand. Danny is not a chemist, but Jonathan is.

The boy knows enough about chemistry in theory, but he won’t go anywhere near Crane’s equipment. He seems to have some sort of intense fear of laboratory settings, probably developed during his stay with the GiW, and Crane is willing to respect that, if only because he cannot afford to lose him.

As such, Crane is the only one qualified to do this. And, unfortunately, if he isn’t successful the boy may very well die.

He heats the chemicals to precisely the right temperatures, adding each one to its correct container.

Dr. Crane thinks of the Scarebeast, that creature born of cruelty and greed and a sense of superiority. That creature which he tries to ignore is a part of him, that can never be removed. A damage which cannot be undone.

He pours the contents of a small beaker into a larger flask, watching the liquids swirl together. The stench in the air is becoming closer and closer to the one burned into his memory.

Crane’s whole body is wracked with unpleasant sensations. It’s truly unfortunate, he thinks, that despite his mind’s lack of fear, his body still reacts so harshly.

Jonathan’s eyes wander, eventually settling on a purple and green card sitting innocently on the corner of the table.

Right.

Even if they wiped out the GiW tomorrow, and even if Danny could survive without ectoplasm, he would still be in danger.

Crane has to get him back to good health. It’s the only way he can be sure that the boy can defend himself properly.

The solution in the flask begins to foam, and Jonathan does not hesitate as he adds the final ingredient. He pours the mixture into a new container, capping it and placing it into a freezer set to -40 degrees.

Hopefully this time he got the timing right.

Jonathan tries to relax, the ventilation in the room slowly but surely clearing the familiar smell from the air.

He thinks of the letter.

Surely, he thinks, that man can come up with some better material for his jokes. Or, at least something new.

Same old threats, same old attempted poisoning.

Aiming his threats at Danny, though, that was new. New and utterly unacceptable.

Scarecrow did what he had to.

He doubted that his solution would last forever, of course, as with that man it never did. As such, he would prepare both himself and Danny for the inevitable moment that his choices came back to bite them.

However, for the moment, they were safe. Danny could rest and recover, and Jonathan could figure out a plan to minimize possible damages.

Jonathan is no longer shaking.

He’s exhausted. This is his fifth attempt today, and each one leaves an unfortunate strain on his mind and body.

With a sigh, he settles himself into his seat at a nearby desk, opening up his computer and logging his most recent attempt. He still has to wait for it to chill to know if it was successful, but he can always update the logs later.

Once he’s done, he stretches, joints popping loudly as he walks to the freezer.

When he sees the results of his tireless work, the ghost of a smile flits across his face.

Success.

Jonathan picks up the jug of ectoplasm and leaves the lab, which is in all actuality the basement of the new apartment that he moved himself and Danny into after receiving the note. The scrappy old woman who was his landlord had told him that as long as he paid her five hundred dollars up front, she would let him set up in the basement without any questions or cop calls.

And so, the most expensive apartment in the Narrows was his.

At least, he thought, the distance between the basement and the apartment was short enough that Danny didn’t have to sit in while he was doing his labwork.

Jonathan knew that he didn’t exactly have a strong grasp on the concept of ‘lab safety,’ proven by his built-up immunity to almost every toxic chemical he’d ever encountered, and he doubted that Danny should be around such an environment.

He was back to the apartment quickly, not bothering to hide the self-satisfied smile on his face. Danny is sitting in his armchair, trying to read one of his books. Danny looks up, ready to greet him, when he sees the jug in his hands and pauses.

“Is that..?”

“Synthetic ectoplasm,” Jonathan says proudly, “I found the Penguin’s research notes and decided to recreate it, since you said that you needed it to heal properly. I’m not sure if it’ll work the same as what you usually have, but I hope it’s helpful all the same.”

Danny is standing, now, and looking at Jonathan with a strange look in his eyes. He looks, Jon thinks, like he’s about to cry.

Then Danny is rushing forward and wrapping his arms around Jonathan, his scrawny form shaking.

Jonathan is, for a moment, horrified. Did he do something wrong somehow? Why is this child, who’s so afraid of touch, hugging him?

And then he hears Danny’s voice, and he knows that it was all worth it.

“Thank you,” he’s mumbling, over and over, “thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so much.”

“Of course,” Jonathan says softly, because what else can he say?

The boy cries in his arms for a while, and Jonathan briefly wonders what his life must have been like before, if a person like him can be seen as a comforting figure.

Then, Danny pours himself a small glass of the synthetic ectoplasm, putting the rest into the small fridge which had come with the apartment, and he settles back down, sitting in the armchair once again.

Jonathan sits opposite of him, and they chat with one another as Danny drinks.

Danny talks to him about the stars and tells him about different spaceships, and Jonathan makes sure to pay attention and ask the boy questions.

He doesn’t miss the way that Danny lights up every time he asks him something about his interests. He’s so passionate, so smart, a trait that he seldom sees outside of his fellow rogues, and Jonathan wants to encourage that.

It’s…nice. Peaceful, almost.

And then the front door flies open, because Jonathan isn’t allowed to have nice things.

“Jon,” a familiar voice rings out, “what the hell?!”

Danny is frozen in place, clearly terrified.

Jonathan heaves a sigh, turning to face the nuisance who’s entered his apartment.

“Eddie,” he drawls, “to what do I owe the pleasure?”

Edward’s face is red with anger as he invades Jonathan’s apartment.

“Oh, I don’t know! Maybe it’s the fact that you sent a bunch of rogues a cryptic message and then dropped off the face of the earth for two weeks! I was worried, Jon!”

Jonathan hums in acknowledgement.

“I didn’t think it was that cryptic,” he says, picking up a book in order to pointedly ignore the Riddler.

“Oh, of course you didn’t, you straw-stuffed hickory dickory dickhead. I swear, you’re always—” he pauses, finally having noticed Danny sitting opposite of Jonathan, “—who is this?”

“My apprentice,” Jonathan replies, dreading the upcoming headache he was no doubt going to develop from Edward’s company, “he’s helping me hunt down the GiW. His name is Danny.”

Edward gasps dramatically.

“You—an apprentice?! And you’re letting him sit in the old man chair?! You don’t even let me sit in the old man chair,” he wails, draping himself over the headrest of the couch with a flourish, “Jonathan, I thought I knew you!”

“Edward,” Jonathan says, “get out of my apartment.”

“Oh my goodness, this is incredible. You’re becoming the bat!”

“I am not becoming the bat, Eddie, now get out.”

Edward has a shit-eating grin on his face as he waltzes over to Danny. Danny, who seemed terrified when he first appeared, is now looking at him with obvious amusement written all over his face.

“I mean, look at him! The hair, the eyes, the scrappy build. If you put him in one of those traffic light vigilante costumes, he could easily pass as a Robin!”

“I’m not doing this with you today, Eddie.”

“Riddle me this, Jon: I am a treasure hidden inside of a chest. You can break me, or steal me, or give me a rest. I can flutter, or pound, or attack, or drop, but if you don’t have me, you’re certainly fucked. What am I?”

Jonathan pauses for a moment before he groans, dropping his head into his hands.

“Eddie.”

Danny sits still, a confused look on his face as he repeats the riddle silently. Then, his face lights up in delight.

“A heart!”

“Jon, I like this one,” Edward says with a smile, ruffling Danny’s hair, “you are correct! A heart, something that I wasn’t aware that our dear Jonathan had!”

“Eddie, stop.”

“No, no,” Edward says, “I was worried about you, you deserve this. I mean, you even missed girls night! You never miss girls night!”

“Girls night?” Danny asks, absolutely delighted.

“Oh, of course,” Edward says, sprawling over on the couch, dangerously close to just laying in Jonathan’s lap, “we have it once a week. I’m invited because of Selina and Jon’s invited because Harley likes him.”

“And what does girls night entail, exactly?”

“Eddie,” Jonathan groans, “please.”

“Well,” Edward hums, “we usually paint our nails, or watch a movie, or gossip about the other rogues, and occasionally, we tell each other about any ‘encounters’ we have with Batman,” he says, raising his eyebrows up and down.

Danny’s jaw drops.

“Edward, shut up,” Jonathan says, an irritated tone in his voice that wasn’t there before.

“No way,” Danny says, “I thought that Batman, like, hated you guys or something. You mean he actually..?”

“Oh, the Bat is much like a bottle of liquor or a cheap cigarette, in that he was made to be passed around.”

Danny chokes on air.

“Edward Nygma,” Jonathan hisses, getting out of his seat and looming over the man, “get the hell out.”

Edward pales.

“Leaving, leaving!” Edward says, dashing away from Jonathan. He pauses, turning to flash Danny a quick smile.

“Remember Danny, I’m your favorite uncle! Not any of the other rogues, me!”

With that, he leaves, the room falling completely silent.

And, as per usual, that silence does not last.

“You full-named him?” Danny asks gleefully, “and it worked?”

Jonathan just sighs, sitting down on the couch and rubbing at his temples.

“Please, don’t take anything Eddie says seriously. He’s a moron.”

“Dr. Crane, please let me come to girls night with you,” Danny pleads, his eyes sparkling, “I promise I won’t embarrass you.”

Jonathan groans.

“Of course you won’t, Eddie will do it for you.”

“Come on, please?”

“I think we’re a bit busy with the GiW at the moment,” Jonathan snaps. He pauses as he notices the crestfallen expression on Danny’s face.

This boy is going to be the death of him.

“Perhaps, though, when all that is taken care of…”

Danny cheers, grinning wildly, and Jonathan is not at all relieved to see him happy again. Certainly not.

The rest of the day is relatively normal.

Danny works on trying to get information from the GiW database while Crane refines his his fear toxin, both preparing for a raid on the GiW base they located in Gotham.

It was only a temporary base, nothing of note, but there was a chance of discovering more bases through it, and that wasn’t something either of them were willing to give up.

Still, something like this would take time. Rushing would only lead to failure.

…

Late in the night, long after Danny is fast asleep in his room, Jonathan pauses.

The GiW are not the only threat out there. They aren’t the only threat to him or to Danny. Perhaps it could be helpful to reach out to someone with greater resources than himself.

He sends a quick message to Red Hood.

Hopefully, he thinks, everything will go smoothly.

Not me making a s/i for a game that I'm probably not even gonna play myself 😭🙏 here it is folks some simple ref of my bg3 tav!

She's a half-elf Paladin and a follower of Oghma, the God of Knowledge, with a sage background ♡ she's got an insatiable and somewhat macabre curiosity that leads her to explore things that are sometimes considered a bit disturbing but she finds fascinating! She has a bit of a manic edge that can make her seem a bit inconsiderate at times because she talks faster than she can think, but she means well and is very sweet! And of course she's catching feelings for a certain someone 😊

It's odd how people will not like a Bat ship and say that it's not their thing cause they act more like "siblings" um sorry but the only siblings there are IS the Bat boys(I'm only counting ones I know-which is the four boys & Terry(?)- if you know other members that are actually siblings too add on I'm still learning on everyone) you don't have to like certain popular ships just because the fandom likes it it's not suppose to work like this especially to ships as in the early runs of the comics of the Bat ships as far as I know Stephanie and Barbara are NOT legally part of the bat clan as siblings even if to the point of the writers reversing their relationships of the boys the girls maybe tied by name but they aren't unlike the four boys (as far as I know with Steph I'm still new to her) just because people don't like the ships shouldn't put down others for liking outside popular ships and that is literally gatekeeping the fandom

Sorry for this randomly but I'm tired of people hating on the females of this family because two of them especially Barbara dated (is dating) the Robins or in general

#im not bashing on the other ships #of which ever whom you like to ship #but the fact there are some #ships that people wont stop #baggering and just let people #as everyone says 'let people enjoy' #then why dont let people #do this and just enjoy what people want to enjoy #dc #batman #batfam #dickbabs #timsteph #stephanie brown #barbara gordon #robins

Wow, I forgot how brutal the shipper bullying is in the fandom. Really discouraging.

[rowanwithaz]

REAL QUICK. Because this is something that pisses me off,and I never want to come across as it. EVERYONE HAS HEAD CANONS. People need to stop saying (Especially people in the dkbk/bkdk community) that a relationship is ONE way and one way only. I know GreeNade embodies a lot of shipping dynamics,and how people draw and write those is up to how their perspective works,so please stop with trying to force people to have their head canons cater to how you see the relationship,because they aren't you.Every shipping community does this,and I see it in my own;and it pisses me the fuck off. Let people have FUN. JESUS. I don't care if it, "strays too far from canon,unlike MY head canons." That's the kinda vibe these people give off.

#Bkdk #Dkbk #Ships #Bnha #fandom #mha #GreeNade #Like guys stop #Everyone is not you #go outside #This goes for a all shipping communities #This just goes to the people who bash hcs

[distressedshipper]

okay so seemingly what happened with young royals (and anything where two guys are close) is starting to happen with heartstopper so i will say this ONCE. do not ship the actors. do not speculate about their private lives- relationships and or sexualities, unless they are open about it first. do not harass people in their lives that they are close too for information about anything. treat them with the same respect you want personally, the same privacy you want personally. they are real people and for most of them this is their first experience with both acting and fame so do not fuck it up by being creepy and invasive. characters relationships in a fictional show do not reflect their relationships in real life.

TLDR; stop shipping the heartstopper cast. it’s fucking weird

#heartstopper netflix #heartstopper #netflix #kit connor #joe locke #will gao #yasmin finney #charlie spring #nick nelson #tao xu #elle #i am so sick of people shipping actors and it ruining their friendships #heartstopper cast #sebastian croft #this means stop speculating about bash and joe #this means stop shipping kit and joe #and stop asking about their sexualities #bc it’s none of our fucking business yeah

[zizzy-rie]

A friendly reminder to the LMK fandom: if you do not like a certain ship or find it uncomfortable, kindly just block the tags and accounts. We can't keep having this happening over and over again. It's already happened before, not again please.

#I have been in this fandom for a while now #And I still keep seeing people bashing on ships #Like could you please just block the tags #Block people if you want no one is stopping you #So you won't have to see it in your timeline #This already happened to dragonfruit before #And spicynoodles #And also shadowpeach #Please just fucking block #Monkie Kid #Lego monkie kid #LMK #I prolly sound like an old person #It's just getting tiring seeing this happen again and again

Opinions on Dream? :^

SO many feelings about him omgg rant under cut please forgive me

okay so i don't really talk or draw him much cause honestly,,,most of the times i just think he's a bit....boring? or more accurately plain? not in a mean way either but just in a 'fades into the background' type of way like don't get me wrong!! he's a really nice friend to his peers, his feelings about his powers and aura making his relationships harder to navigate and trust along with his whole conflict with nightmare and morality about what's good and bad IS very cool!! and i love it whenever they write him to be complex and not on this black and white mentality or when he's just straight up following along his friends with no free will or with a dubious purpose without ever addressing his issues or feelings! it's just unsatisfying to me :')

or when they're making him the 'naive' and oblivious, (sometimes childish?) character being marked as the obstacle and villain along with the other star sanses from the fic's pov, always talking about doing good things while fighting his brother and not hearing him out about the balance, (and for weak reasons most of the time. like it's been so long and you STILL haven't sat down with him when he's, generally, basically begged you to just have a talk? guys please :'( ) or when they go for the victim sad dream always missing the old nightmare, where corrupted nightmare is the incarnation of evil, with no sympathy or emotion except anger and sadistic glee, killing and hurting everyone and dream's just trying to protect the multiverse and dream's always been in the right. such extremes!!!

LIKE!! i hope i'm not the only one that thinks a 500+ year old should have had enough time to idk. learn things? about people and manipulation and deceit? after knowing what the villagers did to night? about the bad things in the world and how there's a lot of grey areas in life and that he maybe reflected on his past enough to process and ask himself if there should to be a convo to settle his differences with nightmare (and you can make nightmare the stubborn one too! or have them BOTH be petty and imperfect and have some things wrong and some right at the same time like why do i always see the good guy vs bad guy cliché with these two when they're the perfect example of why positivity doesn't have meaning without the negativity!! as long as there's a satisfying evolution or growth that doesn't leave me empty i'm good yknow?)

plus i believe dream really isn't as dumb as people view him. i do get some of you saying he probably can't read or write since that's actually a pretty interesting idea to explore! but in general please let him have emotions other than pure sunshiny happiness or endless sadness like he's gotta have more depth than that! let him make mistakes, have flaws that don't just make him the bad guy that's always in the wrong by default, and be angry or suspicious or jealous or bitter or battling his mental health problems/depression or malicious or smart or witty or mischievous and silly or sarcastic or ANYTHING dude i just want him to be put into different scenarios where he can be serious or lighthearted like it doesn't even have to be long or perfect but make him feel real.

it could definitely be that i don't read or see much art about dream or really look for it hard enough but also i just. i feel bad for even saying this fr and i wanna be honest about why i don't enjoy most stories about him cause he always gets the worst treatment along with ink!!! especially ink omg the poor guy has it the worst i think like wow do they mess him up :'(

always one dimensional in non shippy fics, or too plain or easily replaceable by other, more entertaining people in the significant other's life in most of his ships like man. i have read fics out there that made me genuinely FEEL and root for him and love his character so much it restored all hope for me!!! but i can only name one on top of my head and the others? it's been so long i don't even remember their names i just legit feel terrible cause i love him still and i can't find many headcanons that fit my interpretation of him yknow?

not to say people who write him very happy, mislead or sad are ruining him like that's silly- if i see something i don't like i just. move on bro i wouldn't force people to feel or think the same way i do about him cause anyone can have whatever headcanons they want!!! just talking about what i personally look for in him and why i can't exactly find it since most of the stuff out there just isn't my cup of tea :')

hopefully i didn't set anyone off with this rambling opinionated essay i just pulled hhh xD i know i know he's a popular character and i know a lot of people like dream so *sobs* please please recommend me artists and fics about him that you think is good it's been so looong since i've read or seen anything new that makes me attached to this little guy aughg<33333

#ask #rambling #delete later? #probably xD i just wanna love him SO much but sometimes he's just *sigh*...forgettable #i tried to explain myself but also it's like 4 am and i skimmed through the proofreading so don't take this too seriously HHH #like really even when i do read good fics about him he's not on the forefront of my mind and it's painful to me :'( #i used to see him as my third fav but now? ever since i've read and seen characters who get heavier more in depth plots? #i can't say it with as much confidence :') and dream lovers out there i am not bashing your choice or even your headcanons #to each their own but i really wanna hear someone be passionate about him in my feed or askbox like TELL me about him #i've seen ink rants out there that are FIRE like so true!!! but where's the dream defense team??? #maybe it's just me tho :') btw i still like cream but not the same way as before if i'm being real #it feels the same...all of it and it makes me wanna bite something ARGHGG #i know i know i ship some stuff that's basic too hhh but dream and cross are always written the same and dream is too innocent #and nightmare is too weird in some of these fics like if MY brother ever tried to literally attack my hypothetical partner???? #i wouldn't give him the :'((( sad face and weakly tell him to 'please stop...you're hurting him'' like NO girl they're TWINS #they're the same age i would tell him to BACK off and not insert himself in my love life after years of ignoring and fighting LIKE #especially since most of the time cross is actually good to dream and all- so he doesn't have a good reason to disrupt his bro's dates #UGH i just have so many opinions but basically i would love him a lot lot more than i do now if they also let him be more flexible #and shake things up like with shattered and stuff! gimme alternate versions of him even if it's too ooc like we do for all the other sanses #jaa i am SO sorry you had to read all that dude thank you so much for passing by :'D

[nalidreams]

If you don't mind me asking, why don't you ship cassunzel/Unknighted dream? I don't ship it either but I'm curious about your reasoning

1/2

After the finale of the series I tried to get into unknighted before quickly seeing how blatantly anti-eugene it was back then. It just was so overt, and was very weird as it seemed to go under the radar. Just personally very telling. <_< I never got the vibe of neutralism but forced interaction. It just seemed like an excuse to make Eugene look incompetent, the target of every joke yadayada– just all along that line of not being taken serious. When I occasionally see it now I just kinda simmer because he seems out of character with what coming from a past of already having very little and never getting anything/one to himself, but I have nothing against it.

For cassunzel I just never saw the chemistry. Again with the forced interaction and season three only intensified that feeling for me. Heavily. As well as some not so nice things I heard and witnessed from the community, again, not welcoming. It’s not my thing.

You also shouldn't be putting down any particular pairing(s) or characters to justify why you ship something either, which is at least imo makes unk. bearable to come across in this current state of the fandom.

>> x | x for more context <<

I have, however, been into Tangled way longer than I’ve been invested in the series, starting back in 2012 despite the fact that I wasn’t active online much then. New Dream has always been my favorite pairing!! The movie had a universe much different aesthetically than the series did and is much more likable. It's just overall a great comfort movie for me personally and I’ve made so many great connections from other fans of it too! It’s nice to finally have a space I feel comfortable in to share my tangled obsessions n' stuff. :D

tl;dr: With Eugene’s characterization I feel he’s stripped of his likeness when put in unknighted a lot of times, and never took a liking to cassunzel. I got into Tangled (2010) years before the series was even a thought and have been obsessed ever since. Guys. Ship wtv you want.

#nali.txt #cassunzel #i also think having moots that are multishippers made stop caring so much about what other people are shipping and talking about tbh #and now getting into older/more established fandoms makes tts seem like a joke sometimes im sorry yall #but the way some people try to sneak bash characters and ships they dont like makes me fume #also why i typically only post about what i like #never understood people who get on here just to complain about what OTHER people like XD #seems exhausting

if i ever stop shipping the grumpy, misunderstood, loner man with the kind, gentle, loving woman, then just assume i am already dead in my grave.

#snamione #sansan #reylo #beauty and the beast #phantom of the opera #pride and prejudice #aemond x helaena #etc #this has been one of my fav tropes since i was a kid #and no amount of bashing or ridicule will ever stop me from shipping what makes me happy

lmaooo the writers were obviously referencing G1 in "Flying Mind" with the usage of a classic favorite trope from the original series: 'Megatron has a grand plan! He is So sure he knows what he's doing & that This Time The Autobots Will Be Destroyed™!!! while both the viewers and his own Decepticons beg him not to because we all know it's a terrible idea. well, does he listen? no. does it work?? no. but is it funny??? Yes.'

Your honor, I rest my case

#transformers #tfp #transformers prime #this is a JOKE btw please #tho lmfao really like. i got to this episode recently in my rewatch and holy shit #the way hes like 'well the ship is down what now' and then he has an idea and then you get a cut to knockout #'lord megatron PLEASE no stop this is a Bad idea' (comedy™) and megans like 'stfu I Know What Im Doing' and then it gets better because #it takes like a half hour tops for everything to go to shit and the autobots even get to hack into their database to steal #the iacon code stuff like #damn megatron you were really channeling your inner orign self 💀💀💀 thats some g1 megatron level 'i did Not think this through' 😭✨ #actually a good episode too tho like im not bashing the quality of it I like this one #for the love of god im not roasting the writers do not reblog this and do that im inviting no negativity here #kuni talks #tf #random #<3 #megatron #lmfao #thoughts #observations #g1 #seriously just alone the thought of what went through his mind and how he probably didnt think twice before actimg on it #'what if. dark energon....in the ship's core instead of its usual powr supply??? it will work. the unstable dark energon will work for ME' #😭💕 #transformers stuff #maccadam #tfp megatron my beloved 💜

Therapy is expensive but blocking Clankie haters is free <3

#“Clankie is nonsense Cleo and Deuce have been dating for 12 years!!” IN G1. G3 IS A DIFFERENT UNIVERSE JFC #Can Cle//uce stans stop making up excuses we all can tell the reason you're so mad at Clankie being canon in g3 #Not to bash on Cle//uce shippers in general- I know there's many of them who like Clankie or even just respect it despite not shipping it #You can still like Cle//uce WITHOUT being a homophobe

People are complaining about Donna??? I wanted to see more of her! 😭

People have! It’s not as? At least , as of what I see, common now but it’s one of those “she gets in the way of my ship >:( / she needs to stop liking that character because XYZ” situations

And it’s- y’all, like even if you like another ship you have to acknowledge that the crush is mutual in canon idk. I don’t understand getting mad at her for simply existing as a character

Personally I love her, she’s cute and charming from what little we get. Also her ability to say “hi” and make Finn into a puddle will never not Be adorable

See kids this is how you write middle school romance. Your crush looks at you and you proceed to have a asthma attack.

#also for the record before anyone stops I’m not against other ships #I’m against using them as a excuse to bash a character who did nothing wrong #the black phone #black phone #the black phone 2022 #donna the black phone #finney blake #donna clark #ask

i don't think nico needed to be in a relationship whilst the timeline of the books was still taking place. the reason a lot of people think solangelo is rushed is bc only the book prior nico was barely able to admit that he was gay and now he's got a bf that the audience barely knows? unrealistic at best. in the case of solangelo, it also probably doesn't help that will solace is such a minor character (when i first read boo i literally forgot will had already been introduced so i was just like "who tf is this"). nico shouldn't be in a relationship this early bc that seems like he's skipping a step in his character arc. ofc, there's the argument that just him being gay isn't enough representation wise and he should be in a relationship too (which isn't 100 percent true; some queer people will go their whole lives without being in a queer relationship, whether that be bc they're ace aro or similiar or be just bc its not their top priority) which does to some extent make sense, but what's stopping another queer relationship from being canon? the way solangelo panned out nico came across as the designated queer character and then just got paired off w a minor character so he could get rewarded for having a queer relationship in a kids' franchise. instead, i'd say the other queer relationship should've involved two major characters- my go to being valgrace, but it could've just as easily been a wlw ship; rr does seem to have this weird thing against sapphic people

#this is by no means bashing on solangelo i love the ship i just cant get behind the canon content for it #also yeah this is mostly down to canon will as much as i love my boy in my own intepretation #also valgrace obviously isnt exactly my top ship but i think theres the most set up there for it to feel believable and not too rushed #obviously itll still need some buildup but yk #also in regards to nico and shipping obviously i ship nico w several different characters and these ships could be great after the canon #takes place but unless nicos arc is moved forward quicker earlier on taking away meaning it would be too soon within the canon #this wont stop me from fucking around w the ships as though nicos the same age as in canon tho
