Yeah yeah yeah Neal Caffrey is an expert at so many things and can do nearly anything but can we consider that he does very little without Mozzie. He outsources research and some forgery and plotting and hacking and goes to him for help. Without Mozzie, Neal is so much less.

As a follow-up from this post, Talia who starts to present herself as "your mother" to any new batkids she meets, because she is living in her reality, where Bruce is her soulmate whatever he says or does. He may have another girlfriend, another partner, even a spouse, it doesn’t matter, they are just a "plaything" and he is her betrothed. And those batkids (Duke, I'm imagining Duke) being totally lost because "who the fuck are you????".
And Dick, as her n°1 hater, is screaming that she's nobody's mother (apart from Damian, he has to accept that), she is certainly not his mother, nor his stepmother, and she needs to back-off.

“4. Fushiguro Megumi and the World’s Most Inconvenient Custody Battle: pre JJK0”
you see i love this. because — on one hand, megumi would be totally willing to throw hands with geto bc of his monkey issues. like megumi, who sister is one of those monkeys geto is trying to kill, would ofc hate geto BUT geto would ofc be interested in megumi bc of his technique. he would also (probably idk many toji traumatized these gay teens.) find it so funny to try & co parent the kid with gojo, who has no idea he’s co parenting rn.
in a happier world where toji learned to chill tf out or when yaga look at this depressed little man & signed that bitch up for therapy: gojo, shoko, & geto would absolutely adopt the fushiguro siblings. but ofc gege is a coward so he settled for satosugu adopting kids to cope after the kfc divorce when they could’ve raised those kids TOGETHERRR.
Geto’s entire reason for pressuring Megumi into the binding vow (he has to stay with his cult for a specific period of time with a lot of qualifiers) was very much because of his technique. He hadn’t realized Yuuta as a plan yet and the ten shadows was supposed to be the six eyes equal, so he thought he could give this emo middle schooler self-actualization and offer him a world that isn’t “be wizard indentured servant” and Megumi would unlock his full potential and be a heavy hitter for his cult army.
Except he put in all the work and got to the end of it and Megumi was like “oh. Yeah. I was only playing along because the binding vow literally requires me to. Y’all are still bonkers tho. You literally want to murder my sister. Thanks for the power ups, but uh. Gonna head out now.” And just. Leaves.
Like in Geto and gojos minds this was the custody battle of the century but the SECOND it comes to head Megumi is like “uuhhhh you’re mean to my sister” and fucks right off. Never a competition. Just total knockout. Tsumiki wins.

cis person gender dysphoria is on my mind because of a Skyrim fan?comic about bar maids of the reptilian race in that game wearing breast forms to get better tips from the mammals.
Namely that I think it's cracked an Issue I've had with Ione basically since I first made her. I've just been struggling to find the shape of her inner battle. She's a fuck off giant snake monster who was once a normal human. What insecurity keeps her up at night?
There was the loss of her career, but she's already found a new one where she's valued as a person instead of as a commodity. It even came with a support network of friends who respect and love her and want to see her happy instead of her old friend group where everyone was constantly pushing each other down to try and get higher than them.
There was the loss of her 'humanity', but she didn't lose that. she's still the same person she was before getting arloed.
The murder eyes then? Well she figured out really quickly how to control it, and all the people she has killed had it coming in her opinion. She's anxious about it, yes, but it's not an insecurity.
So What Would she actually care about around the time the story meets up with her at the circus?
Gender dysphoria. She's still a person, but no one treats her like a normal woman anymore. She's expected to be tougher, to care less. She's not welcome in a lot of the spaces she used to be. She doesn't get to enjoy being beautiful or feminine without someone making light of it. She's still a woman when people want to be shitty to her, but she's not woman enough any other moment.
And it fucking sucks. it plays a big part in her ultra femme presentation because it seems that's the only way people will at least treat her as a woman with an asterisk. She hates seeing herself in the mirror because the body she has now doesn't fit her. It's not who she is. She wants to go back to being dainty and pretty and the sort of person people don't expect to be strong 24/7. She wants the vulnerability and softness that was afforded to her before she was all scales and venomous fangs. She wants to be flirted with in a way that doesn't make her feel like the person talking to her is more interested in her as a snake than as a person.
That will be her insecurity.

Funny thing about RB!Sebastian is like, he's the flirtiest person you can imagine, trying to make a move on any person he finds slightly attractive. But the moment someone flirts back, he's flabbergasted, dumbfounded, absolutely stunned, paralyzed even and in the most softest, weakened tone he just replies with:
"don't do that"

alright I have to say it--s3e3 of Miss Scarlet and the Duke was one of my favourite episodes so far. bringing in another character to play off Eliza and fill the position William would usually have in the narrative was really fun, because instead of once again sticking us in the endless cycle of their snark and tension, we actually got to see Eliza learning more about a new person and reacting accordingly. and also, I find Mr. Nash a genuinely fun character to watch, and I love the development of his... slightly-antagonistic-yet-hopeful semi-partnership semi-competition with Eliza?? I'm intrigued by his backstory and motivations now, too, and how they tie into why he's so captivated by Eliza. he sees something of a mirror in her, I think, but at the same time, she pushes him towards growth--both out of competition, to be better than her, and out of motivation, because she expects him to be better than he is and that makes him want to change.
anyway! I expected to be a bit disappointed at the absence of the Duke, but I actually enjoyed this chance for an entirely different dynamic. and I think a lot more character development for everyone can happen with those two separated, too. especially at this specific point in the series. (if I'm being fully honest, part of me wishes there would be more episodes with them separated, so they can have a chance to truly grow on their own. I think that would have a lot more benefit for them as individuals and on their relationship together than constantly being around one another and doing the equivalent of raking their nails across each other's freshly-scabbed-over wounds every. single. day. does)
