I have seen you talking about Dick & Dami's relationship and Dick & Tim as well,but what are your takes on Dick and Jason actually?

Like how you wish their relationship should be portrayed today and where are them missing when it comes to making those two acting like siblings?

Do you think in the past their dynamic was better?

How Dick views Jason and how Jason views Dick?

This is difficult to answer because there are like 8 different stages to Dick and Jason's relationship with various dynamics. They also view each other a bit differently depending on which stage we're talking about.

The way I would like their relationship to be portrayed today isn’t necessarily possible thanks to Jason’s integration into the family and acceptance of the no killing moral code. For me, their ideal dynamic is portrayed in Outsiders #44-46. And I know people are gonna find that regressive as hell but, tbh, that dynamic is far more interesting than the kinda awkward thing they have going on now.

Although, I don't mind that they acknowledge their brotherhood in a serious manner now. Like before they'd kinda be like, "Eh... I mean... we were adopted from the same guy but... brothers? Eh..." And now they're more firmly in the, "We're brothers," camp. So that development is interesting.

Character progression wise, it wouldn't feel right for for them to be super close in the way that, say, Dick and Tim are (unless we saw a lot of trust and relationship building between them), but at the same time, there is part of me that kind of wants them to have that older sibling bond (except Jason is closer in age to Tim than he is to Dick sooo actually let's just leave older sibling things to Dick and Cass... not that Cass is much older than Jason though so LOL this is why Dick has to lone the oldest sibling thing by himself... which is funny because Dick is technically no longer the oldest sibling, he's a baby brother now... except Dick and Melinda's relationship really hasn't progressed much sooo you could say they share blood but don't consider each other family yet, in which case, Dick is still the oldest... I mean, regardless, Dick is the oldest sibling of the Waynes... god why did they have to make all of this so difficult 😫).

#jason's like blerghhh dad always loved you best. but also hey we should work together bc you're a killer like me #and then jason's also like hey dick you were the most amazing thing i've ever seen and idk you're cool but i won't say that to you #and then he's also like hey dick i've got girl advice for you and i also need your opinion on my hair. oh now bane is trying to kill us #and then he's also like oh you got amnesia? i don't give a fuck about you and maybe i'll kill you #and he's also like oh you trust me? okay well... we're brothers and i'm gonna save you #and then dick's like oh hey kid call me if you need me. oh you died? i am literally devastated i'm so sorry #and he's also like wow you're very good at what you do but i don't trust you... okay but i trust the intel you're giving me sooo.... #and then he's like why the fuck are you dressing like me and killing people?? quit doing stupid shit!! #and then he's like jason what the fuck are you doing--let me help you!! #and then he's like kinda indifferent to jason but jason is still Ugh this family is stupid why am i here #and then dick's like ofc i'm gonna come help you if you need me but also this is awkward af and things are weird between us so bye #except not bye because i'm staying here to help you and your team #and then dick's like i'm being controlled by joker so i'm gonna kill yoooou #and then he's like eh i trust you and i'm gonna help you bc we're brothers but you literally wrecked bruce's car you numbskull #and then he's like you're doing dumb shit and i have to take you down but oh thanks for not letting the train kill me #and then they're both like meh we're doing shit w the batfam even though neither of us should be here rn #and yeah that's how it goes. that's. literally it. writers cannot keep their relationship consistent in the long term #Dick Grayson #Jason Todd #relationship analysis #anon

i don’t NEED art of gorgug’s bio parents however i do desperately want evidence to back up my claim that gorgug’s bio mom is hot

#making up traits for her like ​gorgug’s japanese bio mom roz who has a bunch of tattoos & is the person he gets his rage from my beloved ❤️ #fantasy high #dimension 20 #gorgug thistlespring #mulligan’s law: all moms that can be hot shall be #i do also think it’d be fun to give gorgug a weird fun like older cousin type relationship with his bio parents #again does not HAVE to happen but like. i think they’d sneak him into 21+ music venues for the experience but not let him drink alcohol. #& they make it a SUPER clear boundary bc he’s a teen & teens do dumb stuff but gorgug just takes videos of drummers the whole night. #taking mental notes like ‘oh that fill was cool.’ & he meets a sig figs fan who he’s shocked knows him and takes a pic with them #the fan: wait u aren’t 21 how are you in here- / gorgug: i- / gorgug’s bio parents: doesn’t matter. what matters is: are you a fucking narc? #gorgug u r the coolest kid ever i love u & ur bio parents just like ur parents would think u r so wonderful #also the bad kids call gorgug’s mom hot. bc they deserve it ❤️ #anyways ​3.5 hours until junior year let’s go!

[Image Description: A digital painting of a Lego Bionicle Rahkshi facing left and stooped over as if tracking its prey along the ground. The background is black with a bright green vertical shape to contrast the character in front. The Rahkshi is holding its spear in its right limb, propping its body up with it as it holds its face close to the ground. It is rendered as a black metallic material with red eyes. Its hunched shape and angular spines stand out harshly against the green background. End Image Description.]

I got a rahkshi recently and wanted to draw it so here's this - kind of an experiment with studying a real life object and how to pose it into a interesting composition and then replicating the lighting I got tired of rendering this partway through however :P

#there's so many cool fanarts of rahkshi variations like people really pushing their designs and drawing them super unique and interesting #I think that's so fun and I want to do it too but in order to stylize to my heart's content I gotta learn their basic shapes and forms #squish the kraata around like playdoh #sorry if I got any terms wrong in the image description I don't remember like aaaannyyy lore from when I was a kid #like would you call that thing a spear?? does it have a different name? where do they get their weapons? idr! #can rahkshi smell?????????? the wiki says their senses are heightened. they're like hunters they gotta smell. idk what I'm doing!!! #oh right in case anyone is wondering: this is based on a kurahk but I just recolored it idk. #that's why the spines are like that instead of looking like a vorahk's #bionicle #bionicle fanart #rahkshi

‘well punk is rooted in socialist beliefsssssss’ okay cool. call yourself a socialist and get out of my music subgenre

#text #my post #mobi #it’s sort of a all punks are socialists (or at least should be because yes in practice that’s not necessarily what happens) #but not all socialists are punks. which is fine. like everyone wants to be a cool kid but you do actually have to listen to the music to #call yourself a fan of the music. sorry. i don’t know why this is like. mean to say. #like idk! i don’t even call MYSELF a punk because i don’t live the aesthetic all the time! #like i listen to the music and am involved in some scenes a bit but even ME.

While it’s obviously canon that Chris has an inferiority complex to Wyatt, I think that Melinda also has a complex relationship with being “Wyatt’s sister” and how she’s viewed through that lens. It’s definitely not the same thing at all, but I do think that it’s definitely a factor for her relationship with Wyatt and the magical community as well. 

With that said, I don’t necessarily think that Wyatt really gets Chris or Mel’s issues with it, but I do think that he’s at least aware of them. There are a lot of italics in that sentence, but my main thought is that Wyatt has, at the very least, the knowledge that both of his siblings dislike the way that they’re perceived or seen through/as their relationship to him.

Which is why I think that one of the fastest ways to get Wyatt to like you, beyond just the immediate surface level, is to flip the script to prioritize Chris/Mel respectively. Like Bianca meets Wyatt and just goes, so you’re Chris’s brother and Wyatt is immediately like. I like her :)

#charmed #wyatt halliwell #melinda halliwell #chris halliwell #next gen #i honestly dont know if this really makes sense but its a thought i have #i dont think that wyatt dislikes people who call chris or mel his brother or sister but its more #someone meeting the three of them and seeing chris and mel for who they are and actually getting it #im not explaining this well but its the vibes #this goes honestly for the whole next gen if we're being honest #lbr chris's issues aren't exactly subtle like they all can clock the daddy issues and inferiority complex #(and y'know what its so awkward whenever someone makes a joke about daddy issues in front of leo so ofc it keeps happening) #and while mel's isn't honestly that big of a thing it's still something that makes her roll her eyes or make a face #and the other next gen kids DO pick up on her dislike of it too and know that it's v much a chris and mel thing #bc they're not wyatt's siblings and they can kind of see the direct comparisons going on #so they're more likely to be cool with a person who actually pays attention to chris and mel and notices that #(bc. it's not subtle like at all) #i just have a lot of feelings about the relationship between the next gen #i dont know if anyone else saw that post about encanto where it was talking about how the family blends together #so that you dont necessarily know who's a sibling or cousin/aunt or mother #but that's how i imagine the next gen to an extent #bc the sisters were so enmeshed into each others lives and we frankly didnt exactly see them grow out of it and i just think #that with the element of family/sisterhood embedded in their magic that the kids would kind of just #end up being very embedded in each other's lives and have a much more sibling esque closeness #i will be honest i dont actually know how normal it is to be close with your cousins bc i v rarely talk to mine #so maybe its normal. or maybe its weird idk #these tags are longer than the post ffs

Hello! I am really enjoying your Thistle the Show analysis posts, there are some really interesting ideas in that show! (and also from a goncharov-ing a story perspective they are so much fun to read)

eyy I'm so glad! I love that show, I love the heavy atmosphere and the overwrought symbolism and the 'power of the land' magic that's never fully explained and the tragedy of it all, god this show is so good at tragedy for something that does technically earn a happy ending. if KILLING OFF YOUR EPONYMOUS PROTAGONIST can count as a happy ending, god, I never recovered, even if he did come back to life afterward that still just MURDERED me.

it's so thematically satisfying is the thing T.T he dies and I'm just sitting there like....the themes......we're breaking the cycles of trauma and vengeance.......

#thistle #thistle the show #finx has friends on the internet #I'm glad they're fun to read on their own merits! #I did prepare them all ahead of time so I'd have something coherent to launch this with lol #but it'd be cool if more people would pick it up #I also have a whole google doc of Lore that I'm trying to distill down into tumblr posts #thistle's tragic backstory is gonna have to come out in a fic I think #it's real good though I promise #I told a friend the other day and she screeched at me over zoom about it #and I really want to write out the rest of the hedgehog kid's prophecy but alas....I'm so bad at poetry..... #I also really need to name her lmao #you know what let's do it now. her name is........ #firria #there that's what we're calling her

non-major NSFW talk about working in IVF/ART below (... so maybe it's SFW in context? 🤔)

new to the world of helping people have babies thru Science and it strikes me as so fuckin weird that right now despite everything it still takes the same old bullshit to make a new human. tbf there may be technologies that I'm unaware of being developed or whatever but from what I know you still gotta use a pair of gametes to make a new tiny person. cant get around it. have never seen the word "masturbation" on so many medical forms but you need those dang sperm and that's often the easiest way to get them!

I think it's just the juxtaposition of the efficient/professional/reserved medical stuff and the messy realities of biology vis a vis sexual reproduction. come in a cup and bring it in to our lab, we're doing an icsi, make sure all your info is properly written on the label, we need at least two unique identifiers for all samples. (This is probably not unique, similar stuff must happen with like the majority of medical disciplines. you try to make it dry and clinical but the biology is always there, just kinda being nasty and probably goopy. Lots of slime in biology.)

* shrugs * also probably just because it's all new to me. I did microbial ecology in a nonhuman context and this is a very different scene, obviously. humans is all the same, tho, they still don't read the instructions fully even when they are paying out of pocket for incredibly expensive procedures and I'm like you didnt have your signature notarized (like it told you explicitly to do on the form) so I cant accept this consent for something you want done tomorrow. It's just like dealing with students not reading questions fully on exams. Feels like home

... sorry for so much jizz talk. Part of it is that I don't think most medical clinics have a room dedicated to manual pleasure (door closed all the time, please) - which is also just so stupidly funny to me. like I get it, it makes sense, it's probably generally evolutionarily sound to incentivize reproduction with something enjoyable but everything has been recontextualized for me recently and I cant help but just kinda laugh at it sometimes

(I promise I am so professional at work and that I'm not laughing at specific people when I think about this... more just the broad concept of ""Life"" and what it takes to propagate it. Because like in the end we're all just these weird colonies of cooperating bits and pieces, doing all this chemical nonsense that involves a lot of kind of disgusting stuff... and yet we try to pretend that we're beyond or above it. This is not to say anything about, I dunno, some weird concept of like biological absolutism or whatever, I'm not trying to say that we are solely defined by our bodies, but just that there are fundamental biological processes we all share and sometimes it feels silly when those get ignored or euphemized or treated as abhorrent and uncouth)

#just thinking out loud #i really like the new job tho #i actually feel appreciated? #which is weird? #the one thing im a little less jazzed about is how often i get called she but what can you do #they try tho #hopefully the combination of at some point using a more neutral or masc name and testosterone will help eventually #but ehhhhh i deal #also its cool to see the variety of people trying to have kids #and that they have ways of acknowledging people's genders!n #obv in fertility you're gonna get a lot of queer patients and its just noce that it doesnt feel like a Deal #anyway i have had energy for basically nothing because of new job but i know i have a few things somewhere #ill try to find and post them soonish

What ive learned about the yakuza community is that you guys are way too hung up over that scene in y4 where he pinned haruka to the ground then started panting really heavily , that didnt happen for me , that scene wasnt real to me i forgot about it.

#Yakuza loveblog #it literally didnt happen for me like the game could have been perfect without it so i took it out #like how could you not like saejima he... he would be the perfect man if not for that scene #but it WOULD be funny to make haruka have beef with both majima (kidnapped her) and saejima (lowkey assaulted her) #saejima wouldnt do that .. he loves kids ... #i adore saejima i think hes super cool and extremely hardcore. more hardcore than kiryu even and kiryu is extremely hardcore #saejima was the first to almost die in the snow but unlike kiryu he didnt even get frostbite #well he did a bit but it wasnt that bad ... kiryus fingers were one hard press from having the flesh slough right off #anyway HOW CAN ANYONE NOT LIKE SAEJIMA HES SO COOOOOOL #Hes so charismatic and you can tell the depths of his empathy are unfathomable ... he looks at someone with sorrow and you know his heart #is breaking. he always gets so serious and sombre when hes trying to convince someone not to go down a dark path #my stomach HURTS. see saejima could have given me medicine because he is so kind #you have got to forgive him for pinning haruka to the ground with his knee between her legs like you need to forgive him #that was a slipup he was never planning on doing anything and he was very sorry for it ... i swear to you he just froze up he wasnt planning #on touching her or anything ... you know whos truly to blame ? kiryu. for standing there once again like a stone starue and letting it happe #hey ‘suzuki’ (lol thats a good one i might steal it later) i know youre an escaped convict because of the animalistic look in yout eye when #you pinned my twelve year old daughter to the ground and slobbered on her. and not the other telltale signs like you wearing a prisoners #outfit when you washed up on shore (lol) no there were no other clues. that was what tipped me off #hated kiryu in y4 he is useless. i will never forgive him. see saejima was panicking because haruka was going to call an ambulance. kiryu #had a cool head and he still decided to do some stupid shit. too bad i badly want men who make bad decisions and want to fuck kiryu so much

LOCKWOOD AND CO HEADCANONS BECAUSE I'M BORED AND AUTISTIC

some of these are going to go against canon but I don't care because yes

𒊹︎︎︎ Lockwood really likes cats, and they like him too. if he sees one, he'll kneel down and just wide-eyed stare at it. and it'll??? like??? go up to him???? Lucy is still trying to figure out why this is.

"do you telepathically speak to cats lockwood"

"do I what"

𒊹︎︎︎ George once created a fake ghost out of mesh, chicken wire, semi-transparent curtains, glow-sticks, and various other random items. He claims it was for "research purposes," but considering it was placed in front of the bed in the spare room Kipps often sleeps in, nobody believes him.

𒊹︎︎︎ Kipps really likes kareoke. whether he is good or not is a topic of argument often. Lockwood says "he's making a wonderful effort," (while covering his ears and visibly grimacing) and George and Lucy just straight up tell him he sounds like a dying animal or something of the same meaning. he's actually not horrible, and Holly may or may not join him. (they are good friends no I don't take criticism. and they are both gay. they're besties and I-)

𒊹︎︎︎ Lucy made Lockwood a bracelet and he wears it literally all the time. he's got his suit, jacket, tie, and oh look at that a bracelet. very professional. he somehow doesn't see the problem.

𒊹︎︎︎ Lucy and George made Lockwood a birthday cake from scratch when he turned 18, and Kipps and Holly were in charge of decorations. Lockwood was sent on a phony errand to buy a very specific brand of doughnuts which he took very seriously. George, who was carrying the cake to put in the oven, ran into Kipps and Holly, who were holding a fold up table.

the batter spilled all over it.

Lucy insisted that the oven would burn away all the germs anyway so she and George quickly scraped the batter back in the bowl, put it in the oven, and served it later, decorated and everything as if they didn't scrape batter off the ground 2 hours before. It was not very professional looking but didn't look like anything happened to it either, and lockwood saw it and actually cried.

however, Kipps and Holly wisely turned the cake down when offered. George, Lucy, and Lockwood ate happily.

Lockwood does not know.

Lockwood will never know.

𒊹︎︎︎ holly, when lacking something practical to wear for a case, will literally cut her dresses shorter or rip off sleeves and stray ribbons without batting an eye. the team was in shock the first time she did this. she doesn't know why.

𒊹︎︎︎ Lockwood knows sign. you absolutely cannot fight me on this.

he learned when he was little; Jessica taught herself and then him because she knew he had difficulty speaking when upset. (he had an even harder time handling his emotions when he was younger.) they'd use it all the time together.

but after Jessica died and he wound up working with Sykes, there were multiple instances where he'd start signing and nobody knew what he was saying. eventually he got even more upset and just gave up, resorting to complete lack of communication until he could speak again. that happened a few times with his Portland Row crew, when he was really frustrated and just couldn't think of anything else to do, and they all felt so bad for not being able to understand him despite how hard he was trying.

lockwood decided he wanted to teach Lucy sign literally out of nowhere. they were just sitting on the couch together, and they're both all quiet until he turns to her and grins. he puts his hands to his chest and then his right pointer finger against his left palm, and she's confused until he explains it means he loves her. "love L. love Lucy. I love you, Lucy." She thinks it's the sweetest thing ever and he really wants to show her more (cuz he's finally with someone he loves and trusts and ow my heart). after that day he started teaching her for little dates and stuff and ahhhh lockyle...

help me I thought about this way to much it's so perfect

but it's better than obsessing over the fact that Netflix ditched us

#forgive me if I ruined the British sign language I'm fricken American and even then I'm just learning asl #the amount of fics I want to write based on these honestly #if you do one that's awesome please show me cuz I'm too lazy to write myself #lockwood and co headcanon #lockwood and co #lockwood & co #anthony lockwood #george cubbins #holly munro #lucy carlyle #quill kipps #l&co #l&co. netflix #lockwood and co show #lockwood and co netflix #it's worth mentioning my current asl knowledge is mainly insults #first thing I wanted to know before I signed up for the class #jk it's cuz Pinterest popped up a video and I'm like ooh cool #so now I can call kids in my asl class stupid before they even know what it means yay

Parents don't like it when I'm around their children bc the kids will ask things like "why can't I eat my spaghetti with my hands in the restaurant?" And I'll deadass go "because we live in a place where someone (no one knows who) has decided that we're not supposed to eat spaghetti with our hands, and now if we do people will be mean to us for no reason because they think it's 'bad'. They're wrong, but it's easier to follow the rules so people won't get mad at us for no good reason."

Which is a true statement, but now there's a good chance that the parents of that child are going to have to deal with a kid that insists on eating spaghetti with their hands in public for ideological reasons which is probably not ideal.

#me to kids be like #'people make up rules to follow because it makes them feel safe and in control. it makes things less scary if everyone follows the rules #'bc when things are unexpected and you dont know what to do it's very scary! but we need to remember that sometimes rules need to change' #'and that can be scary but it's an important part of living!' #and then my cousin will call me like 'hey my kid is refusing to go to bed and says that YOU said that rules are for cowards?' #and i have to be like 'o yea i guess i did say that' #this may or may not be a convoluted way to get people to stop making me babysit #youngest female cousin = automatic choice #but if i teach the kids that the universe is inherently meaningless and they should follow their own heart #i suddenly stop being asked to babysit! #10/10 #children #child #cool aunt
