I'm starting The Art of Burning and :'0 I'm gonna cry aren't i. "A battle was not something you got used to, and this crew had said goodbye to one another a thousand times" fuckkkkkk
(i’m literally gonna do a massive fuck off accumulation of all your asks here because you all exist for my entertainment and what i say goes and i say that this has been the funniest gradual review i’ve ever gotten)
(also if anything is in bold that is me doing little comments in my teacher marking a paper way of mine. welcome to the blog)
-------------
2. "Ruination was a song the Fire Nation knew well, a song whose lyrics curled from their tongues in infancy, a song whose harmonies lay in their skeletons." I'M SCREAMINGGGGG

12. I got through that without crying -how the fuck I did it I don't know- but now I'm going to FUCKING scream, and “And then I said; No, Fire Lord Ozai, your earrings are on backwards.”“Tomkin, I am literally begging you to shut the fuck up.

POSITIVE 20 QUESTIONS TAG GAME
I was tagged by @peanutbutterandgrapejelly. Thank you for the tag, Peanut, this seems pretty loaded, but in a good way, so here goes!!
1. Name 4 fictional characters who showcase your personality the best, with explanations if you want.
Sue Heck! I don't think I let all of it out, but on the inside, I constantly feel like I'm extremely Sue Heck-y, :')
Amy Santiago, in a lot of regards, I'll say. Uh, cares a lot about her friends, ambitious, and would basically die/murder for organization, but also socially awkward and, uh, mostly percepted as a goody-two-shoes. Also, true nerd™.
Mindy Lahiri! (I mean, again, this seems more of a who I feel like I am, and not who I come across as, cause those two things tend to differ on a variety of levels?)
Sam Winchester (you know I had to) Basically, we're both INFJs. I'm not even close to his level, but my brain officially ran out of characters so uh, empathetic, constantly interpreted as "boring" and the "brains", patient, *yearns to settle down with someone they love*, believes in second chances. The whole nine, but toned down XD
2. Aesthetic:
I'd usually have a hard time with this one, but I recently did a long thing about my aesthetic, so! I'm going to say, soft pastel, beige, and shades of white!! A tinge of light academia, but mostly unassumingly modern, and faded rainbows as watermarks.
3. Favorite musical/play? If you've never seen a musical or play, one you'd be interested in seeing?
You got me ~ never seen any. (I mean, school plays don't count, right?) I honestly have a bunch of musicals I want to see, recommendations from friends online, but somehow it always slips my mind. But, off the top of my head, @spot-the-brooklyn-pirate wanted me to check this one out, and I am looking forward to actually doing it sometime: Book of Mormon.
4. What's the best compliment you've ever received?
Mostly, anyone who says I, in any way, made them happy, literally gives me the best compliment ever. And uh, my sister called me inspiring once, and it stuck. When I nagged her into elaborating, she said she thought I was functional in spite of all my flailings, and self-analytic, and it didn't make sense to me, but I still think about that.
And a few people, over the course of time, have named some of my fics as their favorites, and those stay with me for a very long time.
5. How many times have you been in love?
Hardly once. She's still one of the most important people in the world to me, but as somebody great once said, if you don't fight for it, it doesn't count. And we didn't.
6. Embarrassing story or fact about yourself which now makes you laugh?
By far the most embarrassing thing I've ever done, is written a fic on wattpad which revolved around my own life, except for the fact that it really, really didn't. Long story shortened, I was in sixth grade, and had a surface-level-y crush on this guy, and it seemed like a brilliant idea at the time. In the story, we're all in senior year, though the authoress forgot pretty much all the real things about school XD it's not just cringy, but also extremely sixth-grade-y written, and it astounds me to this day that it went on to have like 18,000 views? (I managed to block the entire shtick out, until a few months back, when I randomly remembered and rushed to unpublish the work. *facepalm* it even had all our real names)
7. Favorite Disney/Pixar movie?
This one's so hard. Uh. Ratatouille, maybe?
8. Favorite flower/plant?
I regret having to confess that I probably don't have one :( but hey, my go-to answer for these ones is daisies, because they remind me of the lovely @daisy-jeon <3
9. What's your favorite holiday?
Holi :')
(I miss it being like the older times, though? Somehow it always clashes with my final exams these last few years, and Shelley is often not home, but it still really makes me happy, so just imagine how perfect it used to be, when I was a kid!!)
10. Name three things that made you smile/laugh this past week.
Rewatching The French Mistake!! A really great decision, haha!
The lovely comments an older fic of mine received, (about old Destiel, uwu) since a couple of big blogs happened to reblog it 🙈🙈🙈 and my activity started blowing up!!
A full-blown coffee high, which resulted in me being hilarious through a 98-message monologue to dish, eeeeee!!
11. What song would you play to introduce yourself to someone?
I'd been dreading this question the most, because I'm horrible at remembering good songs when I - need to be. Oofsies.
But I guess I could wing it with 'What About Us' by P!nk.
12. Name something that truly makes you peaceful even at your most stressful moments.
Writing about Character A of a ship going through said stressful moment, and Character B being the best possible responder to all of it. Projection's the key to functionality, kids.
13. What do you, did you, or would you study at college?
Would you, and will you, sound unfortunately like different questions to me, so I'm going to answer the one which is asked. I'd like to major in History, with a minor in English. (And to be crude for a bit, as my sister calls it, thus successfully be left solely employable as a teacher.)
14. This is kind of a weird one, but which outfit of yours makes you feel most like yourself?
My black Avenger's logo t-shirt, with this pink hooded, kinda-down-past-my-hips, not-warm-at-all jacket and any one of my numerous, mwuahaha, grey shorts.
I never said I'd go out of the house in that outfit, did I?
15. What is a quote you live by?
I don't think there aren't any. I'm just here, faking it till I make it. Still, if I had to choose? Misha's "Be Kind to Yourself so You can be Happy enough to Be Kind to Others" is something I aspire to live by.
16. Name the funniest playlist name you have.
I'm sad that I don't have any funnily named ones now. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm hoping that it counts a teensy bit that I have like seven playlists just for background shtuff when I'm working, and they're all named *extremely* similarly, with variations of the word "study" basically, but all have exceptionally different vibes.
But I really am sorry, and I'm going to try and up my playlist-humor-game.
17. Make a reference to an inside joke you have with someone you love with zero context.
'Time for tapwater'.
18. What is a message you'd give your younger self if given a chance?
Don't build your sense of self-worth over the people whose opinions you think matter. You don't have to get everybody to like you. (Oh, and probably don't switch between multiple first-person-pov's, even though you're just writing the most unrealistic self-indulgent fiction EVER.)
19. Who is your favorite family member? (If you have no good blood family members, feel free to mention someone in your found family)
Hands down, my sister. Shelley, didi, @iamcharliebradburylevelperfect, you're like the best part of my life, and you're probably going to be the longest part of it, too. Cause we might not have the best record for funny titles to call each other by, but we still nail the cheesy till the end of the line moments, ;)
20. What's a secret dream of yours?
I, uh. Want to run a completely-revolutionalizing-the-concept-of-education-style school ~ a boarding school actually, with my best friend dish. And as a means to acquire funds for it? We're going to do a whole lotta stand-up. :D
(Oh, and since i've already rambled for at least a thousand words, so what's the harm in a few more? At some point, probably on my birthday, I want to do a YouTube livestream, a pre-planned one of course, and everybody I've ever been frens with, on this dumb, wholesome hellsite???? They're all sent an invitation to join!! And there's nothing to do, really, we just talk and everyone's enjoying themselves, and I dunno, I had a dream about this once, and I've been so ridiculously smitten with the idea since!
Huh, maybe I could rally forces starting now, to make this possible by my eighteenth!!)
If anyone would like to play, these are really awesome questions! @3dg310rdsupreme @mystybloo @thotfordean @bcozwhythefuknot @theninthdutchessofhell @awkward-penguin-in-a-trenchcoat @quicksilver-ships @all-or-nothing-baby @screamatthescreen @telefunkies @elvenlicht @facepalmmylifeu @specialagentrin @noemithenephilim @but-for-the-gods-three-days

Blur - YJ!Robin!Dick Grayson x Speedster!Reader
Summary: One night out on patrol, Robin meets another speedster.
Word count: 1200+
Warnings: injury i guess, this sort of isn’t really much focussed on dick and reader, romantically speaking
Note: THIS WAS MEANT TO BE A FUN DRABBLE I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
Dick sighed, running his fingers through his hair as he perched on a rooftop in Gotham. “I know what I’m talking about, Wally. You can’t substitute milk with water. The cake won’t turn out great.”
He paused, rubbing his temples as his best friend argued that they’re both liquids. “Yeah, man, but you really think anyone would eat it? Hey, listen, can this wait ‘till after patrol? I’ll call you back.”
Dick ended the call, sighing. What was he going to do with Wally? He pushed off from the roof, using his grapple gun to get around. So far, before Wally had called, he’d managed to stop 3 cases of petty theft, a bank robbery, and a murder. Which was pretty good, in his opinion.
But anything really interesting had yet to happen.
As he was swinging from building to building, a cry caught his attention from below, and in a leap, he landed on a balcony soundlessly. Having the literal higher ground was helpful, if anything were to go wrong, and a good vantage point to observe from.
From the looks of it, it was a mugging. A middle-aged lady was sprawled on the ground, trying her best to get away from the mugger, who was holding her at gunpoint and threatening to kill her.
Tensing his muscles, Dick was just about to use a one-liner and knock the mugger’s lights out - until something (or someone) zipped past them and whacked the gun out of the mugger’s hands, and zipped back into the shadows. Intrigued, Dick watched on. Something told him they wouldn’t need his help.
“Hey! Who’s there?” The mugger yelled, looking around as he whipped out a small knife that glinted in the moonlight. “I ain’t afraid of you!”
“Frankly, I’d be concerned if you were afraid of me.” A blur of movement stabilised, and a small girl dressed in a blue and black jumpsuit stood in its place. She smiled. “I’m not someone you should be afraid of.”
A speedster, Dick thought. In Gotham? That was usually Central City’s deal.
“However -” She dashed past the mugger, pushing him off balance and onto the ground, “I am -” She pushed him down again as he tried to stand, “Someone you should -” The speedster pulled him to his feet by the scruff of his neck, “Respect.”
Impressive, Dick thought, admiring how she hit him again and again, but without using lethal force. Nice.
She kicked his knife away from him. “Night.” She delivered a final blow, knocking the mugger out.
Nodding at the lady, who was staring at the unconscious body, she half-smiled and said, “You’re free to go.”
She surged to her feet and thanked the speedster profusely, to which she replied with, “All in a night’s work, ma’am.”
She waited ‘till the woman had gone out of earshot, then immediately started cradling her fist, muttering “ow” continuously, her back to Dick. She glanced at the mugger, who was out cold. “Jeez, are you made out of stone or something?” She mumbled.
She was obviously new to this. She would be a great addition to The Team. They already had Wally, but he could see that she was something special. Dick could feel it.
“Hey,” He started.
She absolutely freaked, jumping 3 feet in the air. “Holy shit! Don’t scare me like that, man!” She breathed, hand on her chest, turning to face him. Once she focussed on Dick, her eyes widened. “Robin?”
He chuckled at her reaction. “That’s me. What’s your name?”
“I - I haven’t thought of a name yet, but you can call me… Call me Blur. So, uh, how long have you been there?”
“A while. I saw the whole thing. I’m impressed at how you took that guy out.” He jumped down from the balcony, landing gracefully, eyes still fixed on the speedster.
Her cheeks reddened in a cute way. “Thanks. It wasn’t a big deal, anyway. I wasn’t expecting him to stay down, honestly, after that last hit. I don’t punch well. Strong punches, nope, not me. I don’t, at all. I’m rambling, aren’t I?”
Smiling, he replied, “Just a little bit.”
Blur smacked her forehead. “Shit, sorry. Sorry, it’s just this nervous habit of mine. Anyways, it’s getting late, I should probably go -” Suddenly, she winced in pain.
The mugger was apparently conscious and had managed to cut through her suit, leaving a ugly gash on her back behind. He snarled, “That’s what you get, you little -”
He didn’t manage to finish his sentence before Robin made quick work of him, knocking him out cold, and this time, he wouldn’t wake up until after the cops found him.
“You okay?” He asked Blur.
She smiled, albeit a bit forcefully. “I’ve had worse.”
A second passed before she blurted out, “I lied. I’m new to this stuff, and this is the worst injury I’ve gotten. Ow ow ow ow.”
She slumped onto Dick, clearly woozy from the pain. “Shit, sorry,” She groaned, before Robin could say that it was okay. She tried to right herself. “Okay, I think I can run.”
She tried running, but immediately started yelping in pain. “My bad. Ouch.”
“Okay, you’re probably going to have to come with me. We can help you.” Dick pulled her close. “Hold on.”
“What are you -” He took out his grappling gun, shot it, and swung towards another building. They were going to back to Mount Justice.

Soon, Blur was good as new, and she met The Team. Wally, for one, as thrilled to meet another speedster, and Artemis and M’Gan found her endearing and sweet. Connor was still reserved, but Kaldur was cordial and found her amusing. Friendships that would surely last for a long time were formed.
With Batman and Red Tornado’s approval, Blur soon became part of the Team, and eventually trusted them enough to let them know her name: Y/N L/N.
Against hIs better judgement, Robin became to develop a crush on Y/N, and he was sure that she didn’t reciprocate his feelings… Until one mission where he thought he was about to die, and Blur sped up to him and placed her lips on his. Needless to say, he went into that mission a little bit distracted, and Wally had to save his life. (Y/N was super guilty afterwards.)
Unlike most of the Team, Blur had a catchphrase, and she thought it was a pretty good one. The first time she used it in battle, she was fighting against a 6’5 super soldier who already had anger issues. She had smashed his face with a baseball bat, and that just provoked him further.
He gave chase, and to her, it was the funniest thing in the world. This lumbering, beefy man who was towering over Blur, believed he could outrun her? Through giggles, she managed to say, “I’d say catch me, but you can’t,” and proceeded to take him out.
Afterwards, Wally nodded to her. “Nice line.”
She grinned. “Thanks.”
“I can’t tell whether it sounds cringey or badass.”
“Why not both?”
it’s supposed to be a play on “catch me if you can” okay i just thought of it one day and thought it sounded cool then i decided to write a short drabble about it except it’s not a drabble now it’s just a fic with a lot of holes jsjdjdks
