I know it was for plot/backstory purposes but miguel watching his trauma videos and sending himself into a spiral right before confronting miles is so funny
someone pointed out that will didn’t bring a weapon to tartarus but he had all of the supplies while nico literally Only brought his sword and nothing else. they really are perfect for each other. two sides of the same stupid coin
*Deleted scene of Namor the moment he got wind of the Princess requesting to come to Talokan knowing he was about to act a whole fool and pull out all the stops*

*Cuts to everyone running around Talokan preparing what they rehearsed while a handmaiden goes over a checklist with Namor*
Namor: Did the designer finish the Princess’ outfits I requested?
Handmaiden: Yes, all of the beads have officially adorned her dress and are ready to go. The Princess of Wakanda will look like the goddess that she is.
Namor: You found my mother’s bracelet in storage, yet?
Handmaiden: We did and we were able to clean it without damaging her bracelet. It has barely been tarnished by the hands of time my king.
Namor: And everyone in the capital is looking busy and at their stations, ready to go?
Handmaiden: Of course, even the children are excited to be up past their bed time and are playing in the streets as we speak! Is there anything else I can do for you, K'uk'ulkan?
*Namor smirks to himself in the mirror as he touches his freshly trimmed beard and adjusts his outfit so that one nipple is out*
Namor: No, that is all. You have done well, my child. I will take it from here.
FRICK. OF COURSE THERE'S A HUGE CLIFFHANGER. WHAT WAS I EVEN EXPECTING
Guh. okay. so... Book 3 has some... unfortunate choices if you squint too hard at it--my disappointment at the RainWings really being as lazy and careless as they'd been rumored to be is immeasurable--but from a character standpoint this installment was fantastic, and the plot has taken a TURN with this secret magic wormhole thing the NightWings have going on. Seriously what the heck. And here I thought I had at least a little bit of a read on what the NightWings were really like behind all the posturing and propaganda, but I have absolutely no idea why they would be helping Blister with the war, or living in a volcano, or... eating rotten carrion??? What?????
In this form, Richard is younger than Damian, which is odd to think about.
This Richard is pale and withdrawn, freshly traumatized from watching his parents fall in front of him. Damian has seen the effects of falling from a great height has on the body for all his brothers try to shield him from the more gruesome scenes. It is not pleasant.
Damian cannot remember the first body he saw. There was nearly always one being cleaned up whenever Grandfather summoned him. He remembers the first death he witnessed: a tutor Mother had decided was too weak and too soft. Death is the way of life for the League of Shadows. He believes it was part of a desensitization process, acclimating him to the dead to lessen the psychological impact of rendering people thus himself. By the time he met his father, Damian was used to corpses.
went to my first con in 4 years on Friday to meet Kaiji Tang and got a Dazai autograph + video recording of him reading to me. He was the sweetest person (as I knew he would be) and interacting with him was lovely, but also at the same time oh boy it sure was an extremely stressful, ugly wake-up call of what it feels like to live in a world now where everyone around you has blissfully moved on from covid and can enjoy things normally and happily, while you'll forever be trapped in a hellscape of perpetual fear 🫠🫠🫠
You see Jackie is great because she has a similar appeal to me as Maxwell but she's a lesbian and also not british so she's automatically a billion times better and more interesting
Cocaine fuckin blows ass man. Teeth grinding, anxiety and heart palps.
yeah I've heard some nasty things about it. unfortunately that doesn't curb my curiosity. cuz like... I've had a teeth grinding, heart palping, cold sweats and nausea reaction to some energy drinks. however, cocaine is a drug I literally will never allow myself to do because I know if I like it, it will take me to my grave. i know the kind of person i am. it will end me.
