any dc character: *confessing something about their past they kept hidden out of fear/shame*

their batfam bff who had already known for a while and is now desperately trying to hide that they knew the truth this entire time: “oh, wow! that is so crazy, i am so sorry you had to go through that.”

a current day nils and a 90s college student nils who's way too intense about his internship walk into a bar

mmm essay about sally and kid gort in the tags (cw for child abuse, mentions of suicide, animal cruelty and a murder attempt. i always hope i don’t have to say this but just in case: i don’t excuse or condone any of her or gort’s behaviour at all.) this is literally not even touching upon everything i have to say because i hit the fucking tag limit lmao. NOBODY READ IT’S BAD BRAINSTORMING I JUST NEEDED TO GET IT OUT SOMEHOW

i was having a shower and i started to think about the potential of assassination attempts or sabotage on veritas. i also have to credit @zorkaya for the delicious bodyguard au we've been creating and especially the recent response involving a threat on the doctor which meant ushering him away to safety.

it's clear that dr. ratio can take care of himself and the other guy(s) are probably going to come out worse than him , but i still think that it's not unheard of for him to be a target of envious researchers or people he rubbed wrong because let's face it , who doesn't find him displeasing ? someone asked me once to name veritas' friends and i for the life of me couldn't.

i also think when he was younger at least he was in the safety of the university but perhaps he hadn't been as methodical as he is now , so , if other students picked on him then he probably had to learn how to diffuse that as well. he's also the type to cover up any injury or tend to it quickly since he firmly believes he is capable of handling confrontations and battle. like he's a doctor , his job is to heal and tend to ailments. that extends to him as well.

this makes me wonder about who would be veritas' enemies because i'd be lying if i said he has none.

// People mispronouncing pho ("fuh"- it's really spelled phở because our accents are confusing and hate you with a passion) does actually give me psychic damage. The noodle soup is not your "foe," it's your "fuh"-riend :(

and that's why this store is the funniest thing I've ever seen

I’ve talked about my intense dislike of the “Elizabeth’s feelings for Darcy consist entirely of dispassionate respect for his moral character and faithfulness and landscaping choices” interpretation. However, closely related:

“Elizabeth comes to respect/love Darcy because he’s principled and responsible and loyal. Of course he can’t keep up with her intellectually, but he’s steady and reliable, and P&P highlights the value of that in a husband over wit.”

Tim Drake's robin run is NOT a regressive character choice by uninspired authors.

Dude has been a Dick Grayson Stan, first and foremost, since day 1. Did y'all forget how the guy became robin in the first place? Hello? Quadruple somersault ring any bells?

100% Timmy just didn't want to replace that absolutely iconic homage to his hero with a mangy old bat stencil.

AND AS HE SHOULD. That emblem is the most tired, bland thing I've ever seen. Where's the flavour? The pizzazz? I wish the stupid thing would just fly back down into that well and stay there I SWEAR

@more-than-a-princess mentioned: you asked me to hold this for you. (For Byakuya! We haven't checked on the Rich Kids of Hope's Peak in awhile)

❛    you didn't have to.    ❜  well, maybe he's speaking a half truth here —— there'd be a sense of annoyance if his mother had questioned him on how he found such a book if he didn't have the blurb in his hands but at this moment in time it isn't a main issue, far less in comparison to the manner of her action itself. he knows it is something that sonia might not have enjoyed the thought of doing it either, understands that no amount of organised meetings and colloquial conversations will make his company appear better but that doesn't mean he expected her to seek it out in the meantime. she has far better things to do of course, class happenings or not so secret parties he's certain he's heard his seniors whisper about before for the sake of confidence, for the sake of connections, to forgo their company to join him under the artificial light of the libraries lamp simply to respond to a remark he made off the shoulder all those hours ago —— she didn't have to, but she did; she did and in the end even byakuya is unable to turn a blind eye to such an action, no easy way to forgo kindness when the person who gives it is someone he recognises regardless. ❛    i'd have gotten rid of it eventually after all.    ❜

the book in his hand is dropped, chin raising as hands finally pull the book out of her own, attempting to find interest in its contents though he knows it will be of no meaning, similar to the way most things end up becoming. ❛    my mother believes that even if i'm not going to make friends with them, i should be supportive of my classmates third-rate hobbies. allowing myself to be seen with one of fukawa's books would have no doubt set off her disturbing fantasies instead. ❜ and heaven forbid he opens that can of worms so early into his second term; it's not the kind of circumstance he wants getting out to those outside his classroom, let alone the one's outside of their school gates.

❛    'so lingers the ocean' is supposed to be one one of her most infamous novels, is it not? i'm not entirely sure how you liken the love of a fisherman to the rich and famous, but it's the type of book i would avoid in the first place. anything fictional is merely a matter of distraction to those who read it. nothing more, nothing less. ❜ or that might simply be the way he views it, at least. they don't seem to help those he's come to know, anyway, finding loss in work ethic once they were given the opportunity to talk about it, something more expressive than their daily tasks for the time being. truth be told he supposes that is none of his business as long as the work gets done by the end of it but it's not something he finds himself privy to, understanding that the life of those below would be different to the 1% but after seeing the princess's original reaction, after seeing the amount of care she's kept into this book in return, all unbound and yet not a crease in sight, it's ... different. he finds himself curious, wandering if those around him may even find a little bit of pleasure in something like this, not even from a solely romantic viewpoint.

❛    you once mentioned a like for novels, didn't you? has fukawa, as they claim, managed to use her folly to 'leave your heart left yearning upon the floor' ? ❜ he dislikes even saying it, recognising how someone else may choose to view his real life plight ( for now, anyway —— though he cannot see such a girl giving up anytime soon, any sense of cruelty no doubt enough to push her further ) but at least it's emotions actually returned. if he cannot stop her at least he can pray she'll never write something that matches him entirely, even if he just has to make do.

i’m just waiting for my friend to finish watching pt1 of you s4 so she can acknowledge that i correctly figured out the identity of the eat the rich killer before even finishing the first episode
