#they’re the only thing saving me

[shepscapades]

Hey! i’m really into the dbch story and i was wondering if doc and xisuma ever tell bdubs the specifics of why etho lost his memories, cause if they do that is prime self blaming angst for bdubs

I’m inclined to believe they don’t. Actually (and maybe I should do a small comic for this so more people see it) I imagine, once a month or a few pass and they finally return etho to bdubs as reset, I imagine they are VERY serious about warning bdubs not to try to force Etho to re-deviate— they don’t go into specifics, but they probably tell bdubs that whatever happened had to do with something that was emotionally overwhelming, and that forcing him to redeviate/not letting it happen naturally could trigger the same error. They have no idea what could happen so bdubs needs to be very careful and let Etho find himself again on his own.

Whether or not bdubs gets impatient or can only go so long before he doubts it would be that bad if he tried pushing Etho in the right direction is another story.

But yeah. I don’t think Xisuma or Doc really… tell anyone that this happened. Etho’s error seemed like a very specific one-off scenario, so it’s not something the other hermits should be trying to avoid or be careful about happening to their own android friends, and the only thing telling people would do is make them worried about the situation. All they need to know is that etho was broken and that they need to be careful with him. I don’t agree with their decision to keep what happened to themselves but I understand it I think. Xisuma “i don’t want to worry the hermits” Void and Docm “eh this isn’t the first time I’ve replaced this arm, people won’t question it” 77

#that’s a lie actually I think xisuma ends up telling Cleo :> #but only because Cleo is very smart and I think they should be close in this au :] #but no she would clock Tired Overworked Existential Crisis Xisuma in an instant #Cleo calls them both idiots and gives them big hugs and tells them they need therapy. also that they’re welcome by her place anytime to talk #it’s very sweet and healing to me #this is where “all things end’’ on Xisuma’s playlist comes in actually #oh my god I got so off topic #BDUBS IS GOING TO FEEL GUILTY NO MATTER WHAT THOUGH #like okay. technically #the reason etho shut down is because he was freaking out that everything was his fault #(last life—not giving bdubs a heart— trying to win for bdubs and then losing— coming back to s8 feeling like he can’t face bdubs—> #ending up leaving him alone when the moon hit #and bdubs was hurt by these things. no doubt #but bdubs just wants his friend back and maybe he’s a little reckless about it #bdubs hides his emotions behind cartoonish frustration and complaining but he feels bad #he feels like he should be doing more to ‘save’ etho and bring him back even though he was to #told* he shouldn’t #dbhc ask #dbhc #dbhc bdubs #dbhc etho #dbhc doc #dbhc xisuma #ask #anon

Ppl will say fanon v canon doesn’t matter and it’s all jokes and I’m sooooo close to going sure sometimes and then I remember y’all removed a major role of one of the if not THEE most prominent black character in Bruce’s story who was created a whole decade before tim and gave it to tim based off a run where he literally handed the role back! Like IN THE COMIC Tim was CEO in name only and handed it back to Lucius relieved when he didn’t need to front anymore like.

#also if I said y’all took a lot of what tam does and her character traits and handed them off to tim…. #like from that run #it’s crazy bc I always say that’s like the only comic tim stans read #but if that’s true the racism isn’t even covert anymore el oh el #tim Drake #it’s actually about him this time #I’m not gonna clog Lucius or tam tags any further tho #oh and on the tam note #her quick thing and sheer insanity was seen as naivety from tim even tho it saved his ass quite a few times #mainly that Vicki vale shit #which is hung up on LUCIUS’ wall #bc it’s HIS office #bc HE is the CEO. #I think it’s so funny how Bruce quest was like unreliable narrator knows their unreliable and thinks that knowledge means that everything t #they say is true bc they acknowledge that maybe they’re not thinking healthily #which is so fucking fun #but y’all go ‘yesss this is Tim!’ #like no! it’s not! and tim knows that! and he’s too high strung to be pissed or scared about it! #AND THAT IS WHAT SHOULDVE HAPPENED NEXT #IK cómics don’t like to acknowledge that kinda trauma and shit #but something going deep into Tim’s mental state at the time and how he was impacted in daily and personal life #(bc instead of black characters being written out and ignored I’m choosing to believe tam distanced herself bc he was such a Dick) #Like that would’ve been craaaazy #like even tims lack luster reaction at seeing Kon in Paris after he was DEAD #And then later having the emotional reaction like he really kept that shit on the backburner #but noooo he’s so badass and a killer 🥺 #anyways justice for the fox family #at least for Lucius like he and cyborg are in the same boat for me #where they’ve been around for so long and have been so important (cyborg on a waaaay wider scale) #that the fact that they don’t get their flowers in favor of making shit up for tim is SICK

Me: *opening twt, seeing Oscar fans complaining about the team order*

Me: *silently closing the app and let things settle down*

#some people really don’t understand how team orders work huh? #or what does it mean to be a team player…. #yes it benefits Lando all the time BUT he’s faster ffs #Oscar was carrying damage #Lando would’ve been stuck behind him #or risking a move and let them fight… maybe taking each other other as both of them are aggressive on overtakes… #only reason mclaren doesn’t let them fight because they’re prioritising team result #season started awful and now they’re on a good run no need to mess it up with an unnecessary collision… #hence they ask for team orders #tyre saving plus minimising the time loss #I wonder how long these people follow the sport to not understand such a trivial thing (it is for me cuz I watch it for so long) #anyway #I wanted to let it out #Lola’s ramblings

It’s so important to me that the basis of Eurydice’s and Dorian’s relationship, the core of it, is that they recognized each as abuse children. Eurydice not understanding Dorian’s speech or coping mechanisms until she met his father in the tavern and knew intimately—though maybe not consciously—what this was because she had known it. She knew a father that did not love his child as they were, did not understand them, did not want them, violently tried to change them to fit his preferred mold. That all he wanted was an object, no a son. And she marveled at Dorian’s ability to acknowledge it and refuse to play into any longer.

Brave. When Eurydice meant Dorian was brave, she meant in a specific way and he knew it. That’s why he paused—because Dorian is smart and perceive in a way she isn’t and he doesn’t need that many clues to know how they were bonded.

and yet for all that Eurydice curled around him like a protective older sibling, offered him the elven name of ‘brother’ and stood vigilant over him.

and later that night when they were drunk and Eurydice spoke the things her father had done to her and then begging Dorian not to say it, not to make it real because she would not—could not— hear that her father did not love her (that she wasn’t ready), he let her have it.

But he kept that secret and watched her, waiting until she was ready—when it was her turn to be break apart and be brave.

#I’m not saying that’s the only thing about them that makes them siblings #Because they’re both social awkward nerds who freak out at ANY emotional connection they do not understand #But I am saying THIS is such a connecting tissue #Hurt sees hurt and wanting to grow past it together #Eurydice Lavellan #Dorian Pavus #Writing #Abuse tw #I think the violently changing them is what really gets me #Because even though Lycus has no magic he used his own methods to change her #I think if he had the choice he would have used blood magic too #I’m so careful about Eury’s abuse because I don’t want her to be saved in her narrative but I want her cared for and supported #Like realistically if the inquisition knew he’d be dead but what would that do for Eury #who can barely contend with the truth #it’s why Dorian IS so important because he did it on his terms and he’s still going! #Also they both seem to have neglect mothers too

I was cautiously optimistic but kinda eh on Francleo before

Kinda felt like they hadn’t interacted enough to have a DynamicTM

But Pyramid Schemes changed my mind I am ALL IN

#soli soliloquies #monster high spoilers #monster high #SPOILERS IN THE TAG don’t read further if you’re avoiding those #cool? cool you’ve been warned #Frankie admires Cleo so much are you kidding me it’s ADORABLE #the only person who takes Cleo as seriously as Cleo herself is Frankie and it is. so funny. #and when cleo is fully willing to leave her heart behind for the talisman to save clawdeen’s mom #and Frankie’s all ‘but then! you’ll lose your ability to love!! we can’t have that!!!!’ #like oh? your invested in Cleo’s ability to love huh? 👀 #BUT THEN #THE REAL KICKER #Frankie carving a heart out of stone to leave in Cleo’s heart’s place #LIKE HELLO #Cleo keeps her ability to feel and love #because Frankie traded ‘their’ heart for hers #WHY IS THAT ACTUALLY SO ROMANTIC. #I CANT #the one thing I’m super curious tho is whether or not Frankie is self-aware about their crush #or if they’re completely oblivious to their own feelings #they’ve never had a crush before!! they’re still new to having friends!! #how are theh supposed to know the difference???

I’ve spontaneously decided I want to be an entomologist and ecologist for the rest of my life. The plan is going great on my half I’ve done everything I need to, getting a degree in it and studying it in my own time and doing internships related to the field repeatedly for years and all. However. Job boards have decided I’m going to be a volunteer blood drawing technician at the hospital or a pesticide sprayer.

#I am simply annoyed by the way the jobs I desire are usually separated into a specialist thing you can only get after #years of becoming the worlds like expert on one thing #or they’re like you can do all the fun stuff for only one fragment of nature related things #I am not in this field to study one bird I’m here to do everyhring as much as possible #minus the timber I’ve done enouhh timber #but do put me in the woods again though please #I am so frustrated with the job hunt… #Texas A&M RNR job board save me…

#they make me only slightly insane #the love and admiration to hatred and resentment pipeline is real guys #but sometimes you’re loved by the person who you hate and resent for being better than you in every way so much #to the point he gives his life for you and your ex bestie #so you can have a life away from this story you had no place being a part of #and you only realize what he means to you when he’s all gone from your life #they’re so #if you had a century to stay #eternity to stay here the same #that I’m saved by such a feeling #that I’m the only one #could you see the things I live for and show me if I’m only doing great #(lower one’s eyes oktavia cover)

Yeah let’s kill off all the blacks and vilify them, but everyone else gets a pass

#tell me you hate black people without telling me #the fandom is no better #over here babying all the white characters like they’re so innocent or have no control like puhlease #everyone wants to talk about how excluded viktor was and how #how him and five were outsiders which is so ironic because everyone talks how close the siblings are or who favors who look who is never #included which is surprise surprise it’s Allison #not mention how they try to make her character so less than everyone elses by making her having to rumor everything in life like she’s so #incapable of achieving anything on her own or like she’s not good enough/worthy #the only thing that they did right with her character was to make her not give a fuck about her ‘siblings’ at the every end because they #never gave a shit about her either #everyone is worth being cared for and saving and never being given up on except her #not mention they did so much unnecessary shit with character like it’s disgusting and infuriating #and let’s not forget the double standards of shipping luther with sloan as if she’s not his sister too just from different timeline #I’m so glad this shit show only has one season left and I hope it doesn’t get a spin-off either #the umbrella academy #tua #tua season three #tua season 3 #tua allison #allison hargreeves #viktor hargreeves #tua viktor #diego hargreeves #tua diego #ben hargreeves #tua ben #klaus hargreeves #tua klaus #luther hargreeves #tua luther

I can’t believe I live in a three dog household where Arlo is the least problematic and the most angelic of the bunch

#so proud of how far he’s come #he’s not been reactive in years #he is still fear aggressive with 90% of dogs and 100% of men but I don’t see either of those as flaws #his man hatred has saved my life on more than 3 occasions #his favorite kind of dog: tiny boys (if neutered) #we have a tiny neighbor named Digger and he gets very excited to see him when they’re in the yards at the same time #and it’s so healing to see him play bowing at a dog after all he’s been through #but I can’t let him play bc Digger’s mom is kind of unsettling and I think her vibe would set Arlo up for failure #he wouldn’t hurt digger but he might get snarly if diggers mom makes him nervous #so they just say hi through the fence #he does NOT like juni #he is indifferent to banjo but she doesn’t really like him so he’ll lunge and growl if she comes near (there are no instances where #they interact at all dw) #me n Arlo live in the basement with our own set of doors #Juni n banjo live upstairs #my cats get free rein of the whole house EXCEPT as of recently since Juni is turning out to not be very good with cats #so now they’re in the basement with us during the day when the upstairs dogs are home #free reign at night and while Tyrell and thom are working #the Juni with cats thing is actually sort of bizarre— she’s only iffy with them when I (their parent) is around #she gets VERY upset if i pet Ottilie in front of her #resource guarding maybe? but she doesn’t resource guard me from banjo like she does w Tyrell #Juni is complex #banjo is an enigma and hard to read #I love them all even if they’re all a lil nutty #banjo and Juni are reactive #Juni only while on leash #she’s making progress #I haven’t walked banjo in a while so I’m not sure where her progress there lies #but she’s still reactive in the yard #anyway I’m proud of Arlo

At this point I would’ve preferred them keeping the damsel in distress plot point for Annette. Because. Wdym she was a slave and is now a metalbender. Who the hell are you talking about.
