MY FUCKING VILLAIN ORGIN STORY 

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS

oh Red Son no-

low key i think to deny Riko's trauma is to deny his narrative importance in the story.

like Riko's trauma related to his father parallels neil's. His concept of brotherhood adds complexity to Andrew and Aaron's relationship. He acts not just as an antagonist but as a foil to other character's relationship to trauma and violence.

to solely view riko through the lense of his actions is to miss the point. He is a character in a story, not a real breathing human being.

I already know, so why won't you just say it?

I'm sorry you're dying, I'm gonna hug you. Season 3, Episode 15: Half-Wit

what if purple never calls him dad

how to care for your floof-lego

I know its a somewhat popular theory that Hunter will change his name to Caleb and honestly, I really hope he doesn’t? Hunter is his own person and to name himself after the person he was created from kind of defeats the purpose of him emancipating himself from Belos’ control. I want him to acknowledge that that’s part of who is he but he can also grow and become someone who he wants to be

sorry i dont really like the shadow is silvers dad theory/headcanon/whatever and part of the reason for it is that people keep presenting it as an actual thing that could be possible even though it makes no sense and all "evidence" people use to back it up is easily disputed

look. edward elric and roy mustang are found family, in that they each believe the other to be the Weird Cousin

since it’s his birthday i have decided to share this headcanon of mine with the masses. you’ve heard about satoru’s son who calls him “baby” because he hears satoru calling you that and i raise you this: satoru’s twin babies who have elected to calling him “gogo,” along with coming up with other fitting nicknames for other adults they hold dear, including, but not limited to, “nana,” “yuyu,” “nono,” “koko,” and “mimi,” because everything is better in pairs with the twins 

Does anyone understand my vision?

i'm thinking a lot about ace lately right and also today's the 14th anniversary of his death and i'm thinking especially about his relationship to sabo and the impact of sabo's death on him and. just. like sabo is the first person ace cared for and the first person who cared for ace (not counting garp here because ace didnt accept his love until maybe the very end) and he's also the first person ace lost. and then after him, ace didn't really let himself care for another person, ever, apart from luffy that he already cared for, he never grew close to any other person the way he did with sabo. the closest you could argue is deuce but even then, ace solo'ing his blackbeard expedition throughout the canon story goes to show that even if he cares for deuce, he still does things alone. because if you don't get close to anyone, you can't lose them, right? you can't get hurt. and in any friendship/relationship i see ace in, canon and non-canon, ace is always keeping the other at arm's length, and he never gets too attached, and the other is always the one who cares/gets attached the most. i have so many thoughts I'm so unwell i need to cry for two business weeks

I loved NewWave and it's nominated for my top reads 2023, BUT THE JASON FICLET??? I thought it was going to be a light read but it hit me full force in the face because I didn't expect to identify so much with Jason! When I read your Jason it was like I was reading myself and I want you to know that I started reading it early at night and finished it at dawn because I constantly had to stop and cry because of how much my heart resonated with his! loved it

HI THANK YOU <3

I'm glad you identified with him! Jason is very much a character who's a little like me too. He's a born writer, and his way of using fiction to put the world in a framework that he can understand is very relatable. It leaves him a little out of touch with the reality of situations, but that's a feature and not a bug.

I can't relate as much to the racial undercurrent in the story, but I don't want to understate it. It has to suck for Jason to feel constantly compared to the blonde haired blue eyed 'perfect sidekick'. She provides something seen as valuable and ideal that Jason never could. Coming from Steph's viewpoint (and considering canon) the idea of her being unattainable perfection is deeply funny, but it's very real to Jason. Adding in Tim - who's identical to Bruce and comes from the same social strata - makes Jason feel like it's every man for himself.

That's what makes his connection with Bruce even more important, though. He's the polar opposite of Bruce in every way, but although Tim and Bruce are similar in a lot of ways, Jason and Bruce have a deep connection and understanding that Tim and Steph don't. They're both dreamers who make the world a stage, their need for justice comes from a place of great pain, and they love in quiet ways.

Jason's a special kid. Like Steph, he has so much value that he doesn't see. Unlike her, he wants more - he's hungry for it, that life with meaning and kindness. He's finally attained something good, and he's scared of losing it. He has so much to offer that he can't see, and the happiness of the story is when he's seen.

New Wave was my way of giving a character who's been routinely fucked over by canon and sidelined by fandom the spotlight. She's special and perfect and loved and recognized and important because...she's none of those things 'in real life'. I wanted to give that to her. Steph's a character I related to when I was her age, and I wanted to give that to myself too.

Jason came from a similar place. I do think canon & fanon are like...overly obsessed with him lmfao. There's a billion 'Jason joins the manor' stories and it's why I almost didn't write the story lol. But he's rarely given the chance to be a kid, one who exists in his own right - to join the Batfam out of his own choice, which is something bizarrely rare in fic. And kids like Jason are the forgotten ones, and it will always be Jason's dream to show the forgotten children that they're as much Robin as he is.

I'm glad it meant something to you ;-;. This story meant a lot to me too, which is why I can go onnnn about it lol. Thanks for reading and enjoying! <3

idk what the fandom consensus is on yuma raincode's age but in the game i generally assumed he was like 14-16 and after the game im even more convince about that. the reason is after chapter 5 i was confused why makoto, yuma's clone who should be genetically identical to yuma and also the same age, is much taller than yuma himself. but if they used yuma's dna to clone makoto 3 years before the events of rain code, yuma would have been about 11-13, which is generally right before boys hit a growth spurt.

the idea of a boy detective becoming the head of a global detective organization isn't really too out there in a kodaka game tbh. and the child prodigy detective is a really popular trope anyway. but yeah yuma as the head of the WDO would have lived on nothing but coffee, protein bars, and like 3 hours of sleep a day during the time where he was supposed to be growing taller. meanwhile makoto, who doesn't really get to do much in kanai ward even after becoming the CEO, would have had three square nutritious meals a day and plenty of sleep. hence why makoto grew taller like a normal teenager and yuma will be a short king forever.
