how come no two english journalists can agree on how to pronounce Humza Yousaf's name anyway. it's not like he hasn't said it himself on camera. is it literally just because he has a Scottish accent

oh, i did not clock when this was from! in that case may i suggest: the first non-awkward conversation he had with clark was about how Isn't Dick Grayson Just The Coolest and Kon just blankly agreed with everything and then went and hid in the bathroom to do extensive research

now hold on a minute. hey kon? why do you know about the flying graysons? kon that's way before your time. kon you are less than a year old and they have been in the ground for over a decade. was there a cadmus scientist who just felt really strongly about aerialists or did kon go on some kind of anachronistic wikipedia binge? kon i need answers

obsessed suddenly with the idea that zeus/jupiter kids have the most powerful normie gene on the planet and thalia is fighting it with all her might

percy jackson is a comedy actually because people keep being like "children of hades' fatal flaw is holding grudges........... they have demonic powers and evil urges........ theyre cursed to terrible fates and theyre all creepy and weird..........." and then the children of hades we meet are like. a girl scout, a tabletop gaming nerd, and a horse girl.

few things annoy me more than the idea that true crime podcasts are the cause of women's sense of danger when walking alone, as if a six-year-old girl has been allowed to leave the house in the last thirty years without at the very least a twenty minute safety briefing, a government approved non-grabbable hairstyle, two backup phones and a certificate from a women's safety course which primarily teaches the skills of Screaming and Slapping

games and media are always so scared of post-transformation permenance, like, there should be some aspect that stays with the character forever!!

Say they turn into a dragon, let them keep the horns and scars and patches of scales after they turn back!!! Let snouts and animal ears and patches of fur stick!!

Or even mannerisms!! Let the hoarding tendancies or animal noises or ways of affection define them after the fact!!!!

I often think about that one interview where someone asks a young taylor swift if she doesn't find it wrong to dropname her exes in songs and she's like "well if they didn't want songs about them they shouldn't have done bad things" and I honestly think she's so right like I see absolutely no flaw in her logic. Anyways stream my new single called "Taylor Swift's Carbon Emissions" available on all streaming platforms until I get a cease and desist under the threat of a defamation lawsuit :)

i have a concept to pitch to you all:

it is not, in fact, jay and carlos who are the ones who get into dumb shit. its not jay and mal either. the pairing of the core 4 that gets into the most chaotic messes is mal and carlos.

listen. jay is not actually impulsive, really. hes kind of an asshole but he always keeps up an aggressive, but polite front (”just… cleanin up!”) unless hes playing tourney. jay is really emotionally intelligent, hes in tune with what other people are thinking and is shown to constantly be the one to hold people (mal) back from doing impulsive things. in d2, he and evie are the ones who carefully plan how theyre getting into the isle and getting out. my man jay thinks things through, and thats canon babey

but mal? mal “i got into a single fight with my boyfriend and now im going to run away” bertha? mal “im going to actually waltz into enemy territory without any backup because they told me to” bertha maleficent? mal “the best solution to my problem is to drug the crown prince, obviously” la fey? mal is a good leader and a good strategist but bro she does not actually think about any of the shit she does before she does it. she jumps headfirst into wild bullshit without so much as a second thought

now this is an underrated character trait of carlos’ but he exudes chaotic dipshit energy at literally every turn. he steals shit from the limo, talks back to fairy godmother, is the ONLY ONE in the core4 who talks back to their parents, is generally rude and sarcastic JUST AS MUCH as he is nice and sweet. which isnt to say hes not sweet. he is! he is just also a snarky asshole who is always, 100% down to do stupid shit. jay and evie resist mal doing impulsive stuff, while carlos not only allows it but ENCOURAGES it (”i dunno about you guys, but im staying here.”) he gleefully goes along with giving ben the lovespell, makes fun of maleficent’s spinning wheel and picks on jay a LOT. carlos is, obviously, also a really caring person who helps his friends at every turn but hes also just as chaotic and impulsive as mal and NO you cant change my mind

the point of this post is that jay and evie are the exhausted mom friends, the normal ones, the ones with braincells meanwhile carlos and mal are doing shit like setting stuff on fire for fun and skipping class to heelie down the halls and dunk magical objects in the enchanted lake to “see what happens”

also sorry ill shut up about this in a minute but — writing from jason’s perspective about dick (in post-crisis canon) is fun because like…….. dick is a very very intimidating person. often not outwardly! he’s generally pretty easy going, he’s very good at talking to people, putting people at ease, etc

but if we’re talking soft + hard power, dick outstrips jason in about every metric like 10-1. in non violent interactions with dick, jason has everything to lose — he might have to put himself at dick’s mercy to get what he wants. it’s not like an oft discussed point in canon but think about the fire power jason has in gotham vs what dick is packing (haha). literally coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb. one guys desert eagle vs the full concentrated power of the sun

once jason would have been able to rely on dick’s loyalty no matter what, the same way that tim and babs and damian and cass and steph and the titans do. but now he’s lost that privilege. he’s on the other side of the fence, second guessing everything dick does as an act to put him at easy before striking. is dick being genuinely friendly or playing 5D chess? probably both if we’re being honest
