What’s that one stupid anime trope called that’s like “beautiful inhuman girl ends up at Regular Joe’s home!! She’s shy and demure and doesn’t know anything about the human world!! Joe has to take care of her and teach her things!! Then they fall in love!!”

Why is it anytime anyone wants to do an epsiode about "troubled" teens they always make them secretly super smart and caring?
Like you know these kids still matter even when they don't make straight As right? Or if their abuse/neglect has given them actual trust issues and they don't open up by the end of the epsiode? Or if they're stealing for selfish purposes and not to feed a younger sibling or further their education?
Children deserve to be protected even when they aren't useful to society.

Ghost Marriage Allows More Than One!
Tim wakes up in a hotel room in Vegas snuggled against a chest but he wasn't surprised.
He had been in the Sin City for a WE meeting and had brought Bernard along the trip since Tim's birthday was just shy a few days into it and well he wanted to spend time with his boyfriend since most of his family were off world (Dick, Jason, and Bruce all had important missions and they all apologized for missing out and Tim couldn't blame them he understood and he himself couldn't get out of the Vegas meetings no matter what he tried to do.) Or couldn't come to join him (Damian had school as did Duke and Alfred was taking care of them while the others were gone. Steph and Cass were out of country working with some important things with Babs and again he understood.) (Did it still sting yes but they all promised to make it up when they got back, Alfred even promised a coffee cake just for him)
So yeah, Vegas meeting trip turned somewhat birthday fun with his boyfriend. And since Bernard has always been good with encouraging Tim to try things it came to no surprise that during their stay he had managed to convince Tim to try drinking for the night.
Yes terrible influence Bernard was sometimes, but he did make a point. Tim was an adult now and sometimes it's okay to at least try adult dumb stuff, he didn't have to like it and could stop if he really didnt want to but he can at least say he tried it once. That it was okay for Tim to let go of his vigilante brain and just have fun in the one city that was made for it.
So try Tim did. Just for the night.
So yeah, Tim wasn't really surprised when he woke up the next morning, alcohol aftertaste on his breath, head pounding, nose scrunched up from the light of the sun peeking in from the curtains, and snuggling himself into a rather chilly chest...
Wait...
Chilly?
Tim opened his eyes when he realized that. Bernard never felt cold to Tim when they would snuggle, no he was always warm, like a warm heating blanket. It was why Tim loved snuggling him. Why was he-
Tim's eyes widened when he saw not blonde hair on the body in the bed with him but black hair. He almost flung himself off the bed from him startling awake and watched the one he had been snuggled next to mumble in his sleep and turn over.
Tim felt pure dread as he continued to stare, his stomach turning as his thoughts got bad, oh god..God... did he... oh no, no, no no. Oh where was Bernard- FUCK did he really-
Tim flinched when he heard a door open and snapped his eyes towards it. He felt his mouth go dry when he spotted his boyfriend coming out of what was the bathroom of the room and had just finished taking a shower from the sounds of left over dripping water and from the towel he was using to clean his hair.
Bernard stopped in his spot when he noticed Tim staring at him before he gave Tim a very uneasy chuckle, his eyes darting towards the sleeping body on the bed "H-Hey, good morning T. I see you... uhh seen our guest."
Tim felt ready to cry, to beg for forgiveness, but the only sound that came out was a strangled sound because of course he fucked up and ruined one of the best things that ever happened to him and-
But before he could spiral further into his anxiety and dread Bernard kept speaking.
"So ummm. Do you also remember meeting Danny at the bar, getting really tipsy, hanging out, having fun and then like going to a ghost bar with him so he could really drunk because he's like half ghost. And I mean like a legit ghost bar, like we saw Elvis and Marilyn Monroe there and they were like floating. Then we all got like super mega drunk and then... maybe kinda sorta got ghost married... because ghost marriage allows unlimited spouses cause you know, already dead doesn't matter and it's also almost permanent cause again the whole dead thing... Or did I hallucinate all that last night and we just brought in a random stranger to bed?" He asked his voice unsure as he looked between Tim and the stranger Danny in bed before lifting his hand up and showing Tim a glowing ring on it. "I'm pretty sure I didn't dream it up because I kinda woke up with this, and it refuses to come off."
Tim went silent for a moment, wide eyed as he stared back at Bernard before the pounding headache he had hit him harder than ever when the very memories of everything Bernard had said came flooding back to him. With a gasp Tim quickly looked st his own hand and sure enough on his finger was a matching glowing wedding band on it, his eyes snapped towards Danny... Danny Nightingale? Or was it Phantom? said his name was and spotted another matching one as well.
"B is going to kill us." Was the only thing Tim could muster up to say.
#danny phantom#danny fenton#dp x dc#blue rambles#crossover#writing ideas#random idea#danny phantom dc#dpxdc#tim x bernard#timxbernardxdanny#The trope of waking up married in Vegas#but with a twist#Tim was in Vegas for mostly a WE meetings#and brought his BF cause his bday was a few days later#and the rest of the fam couldnt go or had missions#so it was going to be a fun bday with his BF#Bernard encourages Tim to do dumb things sometimes#mostly to get Tim to put down the Vigilantly thoughts and just have fun#so its both a good and bad thing he does#but they do try to be safe about it#he encouraged the drinking so Tim can at least say he has gotten drunk at least once#tbh this is me. Ive gotten legit drunk twice in my entire life#and its been years since my last actual drink tbh#Anyways they meet Danny at the bar#whose taking a small vacation time away from the Realms#Danny started chatting with them and they all got kinda tipsy#well Bernard and Tim were a lot more than Danny#and Danny wanted to kinda join them and suggested a ghost bar#and the rest well... It all kinda just happens

I know this is a little dumb but I just love reading fics that have Kaz bypassing all of the Van Eck’s mansion security measures post-canon. For whatever reason it makes me smile. Like Kaz use the front door, Wylan and Jesper might let you in, and he never does. Good for him.

idk why this fandom has such an issue with acknowledging abuse when it isn't Astarion but Gale was pretty obviously abused and groomed and I would rather people in denial of this unfollow me :|
grooming is also not a minor-specific act so trying to use his age as a reason he wasn't abused is pretty dumb and shows both your ignorance and that you don't take abuse on adults seriously. like suddenly cults and brainwashing and power imbalances and human trafficking doesn't exist because you just don't want to see Gale as a survivor of abuse himself lol?
it basically comes down to people being ignorant about what grooming is in wider terms. and even if you want to ignore the actual definition of grooming and how adult survivors are impacted, Mystra is still a GODDESS. if anyone is able to exact a power imbalance on someone equivalent to the traditional child-grooming that you think is the only type to exist, it would be a Goddess to her Chosen
this is also ignoring the fact that he started discovering his powers around 8 and Mystra would have been aware of him immediately?
also-also ignoring Minsc outright describing how magical boys in his village were hidden away from Mystra?
just how is this even an argument? you are simply wrong...
#really though you're all just dumb and uneducated and should stay away from survivors#bg3#baldur's gate 3#gale dekarios#gale of waterdeep#fandom critical#you will literally hear the term grooming in fucking legal courts#and in therapy groups#you people are so far removed from the reality of survivors it kind of drives me nuts#literally the only survivors you undeerstand are hamfisted stereotypes like the vsmpire twink#who complain all the time about being survivors and make it perfectlyobvious they're survivors#y'all talk about “the bad survivor” or “the ideal survivor” and completely sleep on how Gale is literally the “bad survivor”trope#and both the game and fandom blame him for it lol#this isn't even an opinion thing btw#because you are factually wrong#you can scream and cry that YOU don't wantto use the word grooming like that#but it doesn't change the fact that every institution that matters#uses the word grooming like that#stop spreading misinfo and being an abuse apologist idk

In older Mario cartoons, Mario is oft characterized as idealistic and carefree to the point of being a bit careless, whereas Luigi (especially in The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach) tends to be more grounded, to the point of being a little cynical. The 2023 movie takes a different route (which I appreciate!) but I could see Mario and Luigi changing to be more like their cartoon selves overtime. Maybe Mario gets so confident with his brother by his side that he feels he doesn't need to be so serious on adventures and can fully embrace the fantasy (up until his loved ones are in danger, then he's all business), while Luigi gets comfortable enough with his new life not to be scared all the time but realizes Mario needs someone to keep him from floating off into the clouds.
I really like this, actually.
Mario has finally found his stride in a world where he truly belongs. He's ecstatic to the point that he becomes a little caught up in the thrill, and the additional reassurance of having his brother by his side allows him to get overly confident.
Meanwhile, Luigi is adjusting in the opposite direction. He's been fine with casually following his big brother's lead for most of their life, but now that death/injury is a regular threat he finds himself needing to step up and take the reins more than he'd like.
I've noticed one or two people (understandably) complain that Luigi in the movie relies on his brother too much, but I for one see it as a golden opportunity for character development.
#askbox#anon#Mario Movie#Luigi#if this is the path they take PLEASE let them avoid dumb tropes and mischaracterization to incite drama please and thanks

so after a recent conversation with my friends we’ve come to a realization: fandom loves Slave Rights Advocate laurent trope. whether it be an arranged marriage au, a time travel au, an auguste lives au or any kind of setting where slavery is still in motion; it’s always laurent who opens damen’s eyes to the horrors of slavery and insists they can’t be with each other until slavery is abolished, that slavery is a deal breaker on whether they can be together or not. now i certainly don’t want to sound like i’m policing anybody’s creative choices but it’s become such a common trope in the fandom that it is baffling at this point because. here’s the thing. slavery isn’t one of laurent’s battles. at all.
allow me to explain further before i make people angry. it’s clear laurent is against the fundamental premise of slavery and finds it inhumane. but through the series (counting out taofc where he and damen are trying to build an empire together), he doesn’t actively fight or challenge the system or slavery. i don’t even think this is a hot take when you remember that he;
i. didn’t protect the akielon slaves in arles until damen begged him to and sold them to torveld for personal gain (which was the best course of action he could take under the circumstances but as i said, he wasn’t above using them)
ii. referred to damen as his slave constantly in both a technical and romantic sense
iii. got turned on by playing master and slave and master and pet
iv. used isander as a way to get back at damen: was fed by isander in the feast, stroked him, allowed him to kiss his feet and boots etc.
in fact here are plenty of instances where it’s clear laurent enjoyed the type of power he had over damen:
and here’s the only part where i can remember damen and laurent discussing slavery after damen’s identity is revealed and they have the possibility of a future together. as you can see, laurent’s attitude towards it is pretty neutral. he doesn’t approve, but it’s clear he’s not a passionate champion of the anti slavery movement.
let me make it clear that none of this is a criticism towards laurent. it’s important to remember that capri started as a slavekink fic (in pacat’s own words) and though it evolved, by the final draft she still kept some of those elements: like making the first night between lamen a romantic, sacred, precious thing between them; laurent telling damen he’s his slave by feeding him as a slave would, damen calling himself laurent’s slave as a sign of submission/love/romance before their first kiss, laurent saying damen is still his slave before sleeping with him… the narrative still eroticizes slavery to some extent and uses it as a vehicle of romance.
the thing is, laurent finding enjoyment in these practices is not the problem. when the fandom loves to pretend like laurent would be so disgusted by the idea of slavery (even though the text repeatedly shows he’s not) , that he; a perfect civilized blonde veretian angel would come to akielos and educate those barbarians about how horrible slavery is and damen would only open his eyes to the truth through laurent’s guidance, that’s when my issues start. because, like i said, this was never laurent’s battle and it pretty much reads like laurent is some sort of white savior, someone who comes to damen’s country to “fix” the problems of akielos without understanding their history, needs, or the region’s current state of affairs.
another very important thing to underline is that the whole slavery ordeal in the series was damen’s character arc, not laurent’s. he’s the actual slave in the scenario, and as much as laurent doesn’t like slavery, damen didn’t come to the conclusion that it was bad because of laurent’s preachings. it leaves a bad taste in the mouth that damen was the one who actually experienced slavery and faced countless humiliations in vere and yet people still insist on making laurent educate damen about why it’s wrong, even though he himself has never experienced slavery in his life. (one might argue in aus where damen was never sent to vere as a slave he wouldn’t come to the same realizations but that still doesn’t mean laurent would have a passionate agenda regarding slaves. at best i believe he would demand damen to stop sleeping with his slaves as they are monogamous.)
choosing laurent as The One who firmly stands against slavery is bad from a narrative pov too. making this specifically about laurent makes no sense because it's got nothing to do with him. it's not his country! he doesn't care about akielos the way damen does. everything about it thematically relates back to damen; who exists as a metaphor for akielos - any insult or injury done to him is an insult to akielos. he embodies it’s values and it’s people, and by becoming a slave he’s reflecting the current slave state of akielos, and through finding liberation for himself he’s also finding liberation for akielos. it’s a powerful symbolism for how akielos is changed and freed directly BECAUSE of his own personal liberation. laurent has nothing more than an intellectual interest in anti-slavery and he only ever begins to care about akielos because he cares for damen. but damen was raised with it and experienced it and cares very deeply about it. it’s his country! it's his story!
tldr; through the series, it was damen’s journey to experience what it was like to be a slave, to see the true horrors of this practice and decide he doesn’t want to rule his country that way anymore. so taking his agency and giving it laurent, someone who was neutral at best about slavery, feels incredibly insensitive and wrong.
#💬#meta#?#captive prince#like what is with this obsession on making laurent the perfect activist who’s always on top of current events#and damen the dumb ignorant jock who’s clueless about life#why is this such a common theme :)#also a reminder that i’m not targeting anyone specificaly!! this is a common trope and i just wanted to rant#shout out to my amazing girlies for helping me write this post ily angels

Hello! I saw that you had a human design for the Tengu, and I wanted to ask: got any hcs for our bird demon as human? Or just hcs in general, wither will work
Hey! Bro- you won't believe it, but i literally was thinking about Humanized Tengu (for uh- reasons) when I opened tumblr just to see this ask, like deadass??? ad;kjdfdfsa Clearly it was a sign!
But I don't have that many hc about him tbh?? He was a very spontaneous creation for that day, so like here have just some basic info:
the original design i did for ninjavember is kind of how Tengu looked at the prime of his powers in human form, when it/he faced First Ninja.
He is very unnaturally tall, has bone white (practically ashen) skin, with the end of his limbs being dark grey (like literal ash/burned). His body is covered in blue markings like tattoos (very inspired by Law from One Piece haha) and his hair is a mix of feathers and fur-like hair (like birds). He is usually dressed in rich clothes, with his wings acting like sort of cape.
He likes to smoke the pipe ;) its less of actual smoking leaf and more 'energy and fire itself' type of smoking.
He is kind of an asshole, but he greatly (if reluctantly) respects First Ninja because he managed to defeat him and use his powers for his own means. He despises having his powers used by others, but he also kinda respects that it is for a noble cause.
When it comes to Ninjas who came after, he kind of feels like a dad who was forced to take care of kids he never wanted, and those kids literally suck life force out of him, lol.
And that's about all I got for now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But thanks for the ask i loved a chance to doodle him ;)
#que?#rc9gn#rc9gn tengu#rc9gn first ninja#listen the analogy of First contracting Tengu into an unwilling 'marriage' for noble cause and basically dumping adopted kids on him later#makes me cackle like a deranged person you dont even know#fun info his hair makes him look like a rooster and it freaks Randy out very much ;)#i actually got an absolutely dumb funny idea about his more modern design but i started laughing so hard that now i cant conceptualize it#into words or arts so. uh i dunno maybe ill post about it later tbd#i literally answered this ask the same day i got it and then i struggled to draw like fr and got distracted and shiet#man im drowning in wips <;D i cri#also i refused to aknowledge that i like to make Ninja deal with a certain type of people ok leave me and my fav tropes alone

i HATE HATE HATE the sugar baby/bratty tom riddle trope. he is NOT a brat, are you blind??? don’t tell me you think that the young, dirt poor orphan tom riddle, who became a self-made mass murderous terrorist through sheer determination and willpower, all on his own, with no one to help him, with no help from people with power/money is bratty??? like please, be serious.
tom riddle, who was too arrogant to accept recommendations and offers of internships from slughorn.
tom riddle, who went through any lengths and hardships to secure immortality.
tom riddle, who murdered hepzibah smith to steal the cup. tom riddle who stole stuff his way through life in the orphanage.
and you’re going to reduce him to a bratty sugar baby….. um… EWWW. wrong evil guy, babe, you’re probably thinking about draco malfoy.
#the sugar baby tom trope is so fucking dumb#like if he wanted money from someone he’d murder them for it lmao#like.. look at what happened to hepzibah 😭😭#tom riddle#lord voldemort#voldemort#harry potter

God like shut the fuck UP.
So Chris originally pitched vandertrees. They were supposed to be together in s2. They were supposed to take care of Bridget.
Chris says that didn't work out because Alan and Sara's 'chemistry is more mother-son' and I've never heard a more absolute bullshit excuse for 'I didn't develop my main character so when Alan played him as ND read I said oh he's a baby haha' and changed the shows trajectory after the first season. BTW that's from his own mouth, he didn't even know Harry until they got Alan literally when they were already filming the pilot and then he decided Harry was supposed to be an idiot child. Like yeah, that dynamic happened bc you FORCED the child/parent thing later, that never existed in s1. Their interactions after the whole dumber Harry thing are so stiff and miserable, it's not natural the way they were before.
They genuinely won the lottery with two super attractive, talented actors who had immediate chemistry and they shit all over it. And fine don't make it canon, why do they have to be so hostile and weird about it? You're not smarter than shippers, you make a show full of poop jokes.
#resident alien#Vandertrees#Harry x Asta#I understand things changed between a pitch and the actual show BUT no they did not have that dynamic in s1 you liar#All those tropes and moments in s1 were there fr and romantic and were supposed to lead somewhere but nope retconned#Also Alice shut your fucking yapper you're not the main character of life babygirl#Alan sitting there looking dumb is so funny considering how much romantic vandertrees content he's liked and interacted with
