#this is why I like nicknames better

[rainybyday]

twin au but we have them meet Dani or Ellie first and it’s just the Batfam being confused af because they never knew Damian had a younger sibling

meanwhile damian is thinking maybe his memories have been tampered with because he clearly remembers an older brother named Danyal and not a younger sister named Daniella

then Talia here in the background is slowly gaslighting herself that maybe she had three children instead of two because she knows where Danyal is

then we have Dani/Ellie just sending pics and text to Danny over the look alike (because she knows the rest of her brothers died and vlad isn’t one to tempt fate again without her dna of sorts) having the time of her life while Danny is just thinking wth is going on when he left his younger clone unsupervised

Jazz is already accepting her new siblings at this point because after how Danny adopted Dani, she knows that who ever Dani sees (adopts) as family will be Danny’s family, hence, her’s as well

#damian wayne #danny fenton #danny phantom #danielle phantom #dc x dp #dp x dc #batfam #jazz fenton #talia al ghul #i know there’s #Anastasia al ghul but let’s forget that and think Dani instead #Twin au #mu favorite au for the batpham fandom #So far #will see #Nvm it’s Athanasia #I’m dumb #this is why I like nicknames better

thinking about yuri briar.

Ik that some ppl mostly think that he has incestuous feelings for yor but like?? I think he is just overly attached to yor.

remember that the main reason why yor needed a fake boyfriend was because yuri asked her if she had one and he would have a peace of mind if she had a lover that was to his standard.

Then he found out that his sister is MARRIED for a YEAR from a friend WITHOUT HIM KNOWING AND HER NOT TELLING HIM.

He knows that Yor can be airheaded at times, and he's afraid that the reason why Yor never spoke about it is because her husband might be shit. He let Loid go currently because he doesnt have evidence to suspect him as of the moment.

Also, consider that in his point of view, his sister worked herself BLOODY to raise him, give him what he needs, buy him books and necessities. His sister is his only family and her safety is why he joined the secret police in the first place.

And Yor mentioned that he loves being praised by her. I think his conflict with Yor's marriage is because of the supposedly one year gap that she never told him that she's married. In his chapter he had to deal with a man who cheated on his wife and fooled around with women, ofc hes afraid of that happening to his sister. He values family above anything. He pretty much reverts to his childish self around her (with his line of work he probably feels safest around her).

He's not even hostile to any men that Yor knows, just this stranger who is married to his sister. Aside from the fiasco in his first chapter he doesn't even invade Yor's space and tries not to be a burden as much as possible because he genuinely wants her to start living for herself and be happy. He wanted to wiretap their room to find evidence to implicate Loid but backtracked because he doesn't want to hear his sister's sexual life.

Also, he doesnt really attempt to sabotage Yor and Loid's relationship, he's probably still suspecting Loid because come on, he never got to know Loid and suddenly this man he never knew is married to his only family. He literally doesnt trust Loid. Except for the first chapter where he is reasonably vocal about his suspicions he never (atleast as i remember) really spoke about his thoughts abt it again except in front of his boss.

(edit: he even says it himself!)

Moreover, he doesnt want Yor sacrificing herself so much for him, I believe thats why he lives independently from her so she couldve find happiness for herself without her needing to worry about him.

So yeah, Yuri wants to make the country a safe place for Yor. His hatred towards Loid until now is still reasonable because of the circumstances surrounding the marriage. He has huge attachment to his only family left that he grew up thinking had continuously worked herself bloody to raise him because they were in poverty.

#oh hes someone who can understand me! #fuck this man IS hot i hate him #spyxfamily #spy x family #yuri briar #yor briar #i can feel it hes gonna get cancelled #but i really like him #kinda wild that this man doesnt actively tries to sabotage twiyor and hes just trying to find a reason why loid is sus #meanwhile fiona does hers by trying to show that shes a better wife #also yuri was lowkey fruity towards loid #the lottie nickname just stuck to him lol #yor towards loid is #and yuri is like

been thinking about the tharjabelle family unit a lot. i think maribelle spent five thousand years scraping through ye olden baby names textbooks in her family’s library and was like “We shall name our daughter Noire! It’s a lovely name, a reference to your love of the dark arts and [wikipedia etymology section] while still being classy. Just gorgeous. Now, what shall we name our son?” and tharja goes “brady.” mari’s like ???? fym brady what the hell is that and tharja goes “oh its traditional plegian” “Oh, really!? 😄” “no”

#ann plays awakening #domestic tharjabelle i am molding you in my mind #i still have no idea why on earth maribelle named her son brady #there’s nothing wrong with that name. bradys one of my favs #but im lookin at maribelle and im thinkin ur kids name should be remington charlesworth von themis the fourth #or some shit #i mean this positively #i love maribelle #but i can only conclude she was NOT the one who named him #she wouldnt… #unless its like a nickname. what could brady be short for #i dunno. bradworth? thats not a name. #maybe its his #WHATEVER anyways tharja named him. in my head <3 #also and these tags r j becoming my tharjabella hcs extended edition #but also idk i think maribelle wouldnt actually mind if brady was a plegian name. i think she’d like it actually #in game she seems not all that knowledgeable about plegia and is rather hostile #for obvious reasons. i wouldnt like the ppl that kidnapped me either #but i think taking a plegian wife would let her want to learn more about it and especially since later on chrom starts to bridge the gap #between their nations a bit more and by the end of the game while im sure things arent GREAT theyre probably on the way to gettin better #and i just think she’d want tharja to feel more at home in ylisstol so the whole gesture would j be sweet :) #not sure how much tharja would actually care but she’d probably appreciate the effort #wish i had more info on house themis but whatever. i’ll start makin shit up idgaf #fuck you awakening world building

Idk who needs to hear this, but if you think you are annoying and that no one likes you, just be glad you aren't my Earth Surface Processes professor who is so awful at his job and so hated by his students that we had an insult tally on the whiteboard during our 2 hour study session.

(Do not feel bad for this man. He absolutely deserves it.)

#regarding our midterm (worth 20% of our grade) alone he: #1a) randomly moved it from in 2 weeks to in 9 days claiming it was department policy #1b) This was apparently a LIE as stated by a different geoscience professor who then encouraged us to complain to the higher ups #2a) released the exam study guide a day late #2b) Study guide was poorly worded with repeat questions/grammatical errors/run-on sentences/conflicting information #2c) got a bit annoyed when we asked about the conflicting info #3) Responded to yes or no questions with “sort of” (Ex: will we be provided the equations) #4) decided to add a new question onto the exam and guide 2 days before the midterm #5) negelcted to teach us how to solve one of the problems until 2 days before the midterm #6) was not present for his own office hours (never told us that he canceled or anything he just didn't show up) #and like i said this is regarding the midterm ALONE #Some insult highlights: #“Why does he love soil creep so much?” “Because that was his nickname in high school.” #“*Student* has been teaching us the content in the past 30min better than *Prof* ever has in an hour and 15.” #“I am not convinced that *Prof* is a human being. I think he's a robot piloted by a hamster.” “Actually its a swarm of fruit flies.” #“I would destroy him in a fight.” “Hes a twink. Anyone could.” “He is NOT a twink no one would EVER hit that.” #collegeblr #college #geoscience

Me trying to explain something I like to my friends with my broken English: So uh y'know that uh that uhhh thingy the thing that like makes up 101 elements or whatever? That uh uh match?

In celebration of us getting some new Indigo Disk news, I thought I’d share my highlights of the last bit of Indigo Disk information we got

Honorary mention:

#fennekin #iron crown #chespin #i felt bad not including Chespie because I love it #why is it I’m suddenly nicknaming every single grass starter? #every Bulbasaur is Bulbie #every Chespin is Chespie #every Sprigatito is Spriggie #what’s next? #Chikkie? #Treeckie? #Turtie? #(okay I don’t like Turtwig enough to give it an affectionate nickname) #Snivie? #(wait that doesn’t work) #Rowlie? #Grookie? #(nope that doesn’t work either) #also anyone else notice that the texture on the silver/grey parts of Iron Crown (excluding the face) also exist on Iron Leaves? #good to know I’ve got an even better idea of what Robo Terrakion looks like now #(I’m not calling the Future Paradox Pokémon predictable I’m just saying the Neo Swords have a lot in common) #speaking of idk if it’s obvious but I’m still pissed off they haven’t announced Dino Entei and Robo Terrakion yet

I have tried giving him a bigger box but apparently the dragonsteel one is just that much better even if only half of him fits in it

#I guess it’s his now #the angle makes it seem like he fits better than he does #trust me half of him was outside and the cardboard is bent now #he’s a big boy #this is Sigurd! #nickname is siggy or siggisen #we’ve only had him for a week and a half but I think he’s starting to feel st home #soonie boy did pass away very suddenly and unexpectedly #I don’t talk about it because it still makes me cry #but yeah I did not switch cat just like that #not sure why I care about cat continuity but I have posted a lot about him so it feels weird to just start posting about another cat

"ilia might be named after the Iliad" no. Ilia might be named after Ilia, aka Rhea Silvia, aka Servilia aka Aemilia, which were all names for the mother of Romulus and Remus. You know. The ones then raised by a wolf.

#*takes wiki editors gently in my hands* why would she be named after troy's final battle #she's the first girl from the hometown of the Link Who Leaves And Immediately Becomes A Wolf so i mean #i just feel like maybe you should look at other uses of the name in antiquity if you're trying to find a purpose for that being her name #note: yeah I'm much nicer to the independent zelda wiki editors than that of the fandom who shall not be named #with their rules both written nonsensically and enforced irregularly. hmph. anyway. #yeah i think ilia is named after the mother of the raised by wolf boys #just kinda seems like a connection that makes more sense than #'i dunno maybe she was named after the iliad? or elijah? cuz... names?' #and like to be clear it's totally possible she isn't named for what makes the most sense #but then we can just pretend that's what it was supposed to be #also it might be cute if her name is like Amilia but she likes the nickname better i dunno

[oveliagirlhaditright]

I thought the idea of Angel signing letters with "A" instead of his name was just a fanfiction thing, but at least one of the Buffy books had him doing so. LOL

And as someone who loves Angel and Faith's friendship, I just love that we have Faith who refers to people with letters (well, she at least calls Buffy "B"), and Angel at least calling himself "A" in notes, apparently.

And Buffy, who like I just said Faith refers to as "B," and who called Faith "F" that one time (because she was annoyed at all the "Bs" and was trying to give Faith a taste of her own medicine, but still).

Edit: Here's where Angel signed his name just "A" in "Carnival of Souls":

#at some point i'll probably upload evidence of angel having signed a letter to buffy with 'a' instead of 'angel' if anyone wants it but #later. when my life isn't falling apart #also why were these guys gossip girling it. basically. before gossip girl? lol #buffy the vampire slayer #faith lehane #angel #angel and faith #buffy summers #buffy and faith #fuffy #i've at least read fanfiction where faith calls angel 'a.' at least sometimes. and i approve #has faith called anyone else letters instead of their name? i don't think SO. but am i just forgetting? #also... after reading malice. and now knowing (at least according to that book) that at least for a hot second that originally faith though #buffy's name was 'summers' and then being a little bit disappointed in learning that it was buffy instead i wonder if part of the reason #faith calls buffy 'b' is because she likes that nickname for buffy better than buffy's actual name tbh #or not #bangel

being trans is so hard and confusing but sometimes you get called the right name and the right pronoun and it feels so right and sometimes it’s by a group of guys discussing how they’re old enough to remember when TV’s had dials that switched to one of three channels, and they’re still respecting your pronouns and maybe you can be okay

#I’ve been having a crisis cause basically if you say my irl name is boomerang #I’ve been going by just boom more #and these theatre posters came out and they had the directors name and my name on them #no other names—not even the other professor who led the other class #and that poster said boomerang cause that’s my full name that’s normal #but it just looked WRONG which I’ve never felt before (like even tho I primarily go by boom now I still sign all my emails boomerang. #so it’s not like it’s a deadname or anything. it’s literally just a nickname that happens to feel more gender) but since boom felt better I #asked them to put boom in the program and they did!! #and sometimes I look at it and go 🥰that looks right #and sometimes I look at it and go 😡that looks unprofessional you should’ve kept HOLY SHIT I ALMOST TYPED MY NAME WHOOPS you should’ve kept #boomerang cause that’s what people with nicknames do and it’s more professional bla bla bla #but like #potentially I want to not use it so much as a nickname but a name name #because of gender #but idk yet #boom is significantly less formal of a name and does have the connotations of a nickname unfortunately #but that’s also why I think it feels so fun to be called it #cause they say boom and I’m like 😁me whereas they say boomerang and I’m like 🫣why so serious #anyway i hope this made sense im not actually talking about boom versus boomerang I just didn’t want to use my irl name lol #OH BUT THE POINT OF THE POST WAS REGARDLESS OF MY NAME IRL I GET CALLED BOOM AND TWO PROFESSORS AND A PROFESSOR’S HUSBAND WERE IN THIS MANLY #CIRCLE AND I JUST JOINED AND WAS IN THE CONVERSATION AND I DEFINITELY WAS AWKWARD BUT IDK I FELT APPRECIATED ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS GENDERED #boom blogs high #i still want to take a bath or at least change into comfy clothes and just haven’t moved whoops #it’s cold and my blanket is warm

tell me why it seems like 90% of byler shippers are the most smug, insufferable people i’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing on my dash. like can y’all be normal people LMAO

i’ve been following a smattering of general st fandom accounts that also post a lot about them for less than a week and i’m already like “damn i gotta fuckin go”

you’re telling me i survived 2013-2015 superwholock and free! shipping wars and i’m just right back in it in the year of our lord 2023? get a life LOL

#me seeing the 17th punching-down nickname for mileven: im seriously at my fucking limit #I DONT EVEN LIKE ONE SHIP MORE THAN THE OTHER #WHO GIVE A SHIT!!!
