It's your journey; there is no "right" or "wrong."
I was thinking to myself recently, and I realized something that helped me the most, not only when I followed loa, but also now with nondualism and spiritually. I will add sections, there are different parts of what I want to say here.
There is no "truth."
I know bloggers and I have said a lot of different things- "release the ego," "stop 'doing' and just be," "stop misidentifying," etc. But I want to ask you, angels, are you following what speaks to YOU? I have always been a "you don't NEED to 'do' anything to achieve Self" believer, but other blogs may or may not have the same view as me. Why do you think that is?
It is because there is no truth. Nothing is true at all, by itself. Things appear true to Self because they are being the way they ARE, whether it is "favorable" or "not favorable." Remember what I said in this post, nothing is "doing" anything, it is simply BEING as it was "imagined."
Take this mathematical statement - if you have a closed interval [r,s] and a value between that closed interval, t, it is certain that between the r and s, there was a point where the function was exactly equal to t. (This is called the IVT, or Intermediate Value Theorem).
To explain further, let's say Mary arrives to school and enters her first class of the day. She knows she has a fire drill that day. At the end of the day, Mary goes outside to wait for the school bus, so she can go home for the night. Between Mary getting to school and her leaving school, there HAD TO HAVE BEEN A TIME where the fire drill occurred/was true. It didn't happen the entire time, but it happened at SOME POINT. This can go for other parts of her day - lunch, break time, class A, class B, etc. There were several points in the day when each of these scenarios were TRUE. But they weren't true for the entire DAY. This is what makes nothing true. Something cannot be true unless it is constant and unchanging. That's why Self is the only truth, it never "goes away" and never "changes." That's what I mean when I say that the ego doesn't exist, or that the character, circumstances, even these words, don't exist. Only Self does.
This explains why, perhaps, if you try and affirm with a goal of making something else true, it feels resistant because you are doing something that is impossible. There is only Self, and by trying to make some other scenario or existence true, you are trying to make yourSelf true...but you're already true...so...?
In this sense, you could also think that everything is true because YOU are all there is.
Follow YOURSELF.
I want you guys to be honest with yourself as you read this. Ask yourself if this- am I doing what Ssera is describing here?:
Are you reading so many blogs and overconsuming to the point where you're confused and don't know what the right thing is to do? Are you having a lot of resistance? Do feel like you need guidance or the 'key' to make eveything work?
If yes, here is my message for you: You need to take time off of reading posts and just follow what YOU "think" will work for you. If you think letting things unfold naturally will work for you, let things be. If you think shedding the ego will work for you, go in that direction. If you think nondualism isn't working for you, find what does and stick with it. If you like self inquiry, go for it. Disbelieving? Go for it. Law of assumption? Go ahead! Law of attraction? Ok! Void, shifting, scripting? Whatever works for you!
I would like to add, if someone feels like something isn't working for them, don't yell at them that they're giving up or being lazy. Sometimes people need a push, but sometimes it's worth it to let go or give up if it seriously isn't going anywhere. There is a difference between letting go and thinking you can't do something you want to.
Read this post by gorgeous Lilith ><
And here is a quote from that exact post:
"This isn't Neville's, Sammy's, Edward's, or even my reality. IT IS YOUR REALITY! There is no such thing as an "ultimate truth" or "method" for manifesting/reality shifting, as the ultimate creator of your reality you decide every single aspect of your reality, not Neville, Sammy, Edward, etc...Stop listening to people to find an "ultimate truth" or "method" don't even listen to me or other bloggers on this community, find your own truth as the creator of your reality. There is literally no "objective truth" everything is subjective based on your beliefs and whatever you are conscious of." -quoted from @consciousnessbaddie
"Find your own truth as the creator of your reality."
It literally explains itself.
If you don't agree with any of what I just said, don't make it your truth! If you don't agree with the books in Ada's drive, with other bloggers, with teachers, instagrammers, youtubers, don't make it your truth! That's all there is to it!
The "goal" for all of this was always to find your truth and reconnect with your true, powerful self.
Don't listen to "others," if they don't resonate with you, and honestly "others" are only there to point you in the direction of yourself!
Love you all, mes Lumières! <3

Do you perchance have any bread pudding headcanons 👀👀 (it’s so nice to find another person who’s like actively a fan of him, he and lime are like my favorite characters and I canNOT find any content for them lol)
Omg hi!! And hell YES I have a bunch of Bread and Bread-Lime friendship headcanons dude
— Bread is pretty GNC he WILL wear skirts and stuff and he loves them
— I ADORE platonic kisses so you better believe that I think Lime and Bread constantly give each other little pecks on the forehead and cheek
— He wears a full set of pajamas to bed. They are probably embroidered
— He also has a robe and slippers because that man dresses like a housewife from a movie
— He likes to write! He spends too much time on that clipboard I bet he’s writing little poems and ideas in the margins
— Bread and Lime run a fashion and food blog with the occasional entry from Crepe
— Huck and Bread have these little spa nights where they do each others hair, nails, etc. Red Hot is commonly included in these
— Bread is NOT the type of person that can sleep anywhere, unlike Huck. Bread needs his bed and blanket to be comfortable ok!
— Huck got him a shirt that says “ho-ho-homosexual” they said it was a group gift
— Bread said he would never wear but he wears it to sleep sometimes
— Bread is a trans gay man I speak the truth (and demisexual)
— Bread and Lime go shopping alll the time together they make it a weekly thing to go get clothes
— “I wish a book existed about [so and so]” “oh I wrote something like that once” “you WRITE?”
— It’s basically canon but he is NOT a morning person in a nontraditional sense
— He will wake up super early (of his own accord) but then be grumpy and upset about it you did this to yourself
— He hates waking up late tho because he feels like he’ll get nothing done in the day
— “I’m not doing peppy and cheerful this early in the morning”
— He is south asian and latino
— He snaps his pencil accidentally sometimes. Like, completely in half. Usually when looking at Huck from afar. Lime teases him relentlessly for it
— He really likes Huck’s singing voice but then again who doesn’t (Huck sings to him which is ALSO practically canon because of a background shot in one of the shorts)
— Huck talks a lot to Bread, especially when he’s doing work, so Bread accidentally starts writing whatever Huck is saying on accident
— Bread uses an insane amount of gel for his hair in the morning he spends like 40 minutes on it
— If you can’t tell I love the Huck-Bread-Lime trio they are the best friend ever
— They ALL trade hair care tips actually
— Not a Bread hc really but I think Lime straightens her hair because there is no WAY she has naturally straight hair she has CURLS!
— Bread makes it his MISSION to have the most dramatic entrances ever
— He and Lime talk to each other about crushes all the time and love to hype each other up
— LIME AND BREAD ARE EACH OTHERS WINGMEN it’s real and true
And yk what some bonus doodles that I have and haven’t posted before
#ask mimi#anon ask#strawberry shortcake berry in the big city#berry in the big city#bread pudding#lime chiffon#huckleberry pie#hucklebread#just a bit#strawberry shortcake#doodles#THANK YOU SO MUCN FOR THIS ASK BTW LIKE???#I HAD SO MUCH FUN#WJJDJXNE#I AM SO HAPPY TO DUMP ABOUT MY HEADCANONS

Introduction Post!/DNI List
Hi, my name is aurora, im 24, and i have a full time job sooo unfortunately frequent fic updates/posts aren’t a guarantee. but i do love to write, and i find the time to do it when i can! My pronouns are she/her and I identify as a lesbian. i grew up in south jersey and i live in philly now, so i curse like a sailor. my zodiac sun is capricorn, my moon is leo, my rising is virgo (for all u astrology hoes out there) and im INFP if that means anything to u (i dont understand it at all)
im part of the unholy trinity of bishova, we come up with silly little fic ideas that turn into full-length novels together. they’re the reason i write, and i lov them a lot. u should follow them (functionally-medicated and laurie-bishop) on here, if u want the full experience. if anything ever happened to them or if anybody ever hurt them emotionally or physically i would hunt that person down in a completely feral state, unaware of my surroundings or actions, and what follows is not for me to say or take blame for.
Here’s some links:
my linktr.ee, which is basically all of these in one place except my ao3 bc minors follow me on tiktok and i... dont want them reading my fics or at least i dont wanna know abt them reading my fics lol
my main blog (desktop link)
My Twitter (until the rat man ruins it for good, this is the main place for my madness)
My ao3 (Please note that due to my deep fear of ai stealing my shit, all of my fics are only accessible to ao3 users; i will not be posting them anywhere else.)
And yes, my tiktok. (it’s literally just shitposts, mostly bishova)
DM’s and Ask Box are open for questions, comments, etc! Don’t be shy to ask about anything, I’m an open book and I give very mid advice. (if u are looking for romantic advice please know most of my exes cheated on me and i have deeply rooted emotional issues. so my advice will be ‘break up’ or ‘just ask them out the worst they can say is no’. if those are not the answers u seek i am not ur love doctor)
I’m not taking requests for fics, but i’m down for discussion for ideas and i might even end up writing something! If I do, I’ll ofc refer to the post(s) and give credit where it’s due. Or if it’s a blurb/drabble I’ll just respond in the ask.
You DO NOT have permission to share/steal my work onto other platforms unless it’s for the sole purpose of promoting the fic itself. For example, if you like to share links to your favorite fics on a tumblr or discord, that’s fine. You cannot claim it as your own, nor do I want anything read in a recorded space or shared with any cast/crew/whatever. (It makes me uncomfortable, and yes, this is something that has happened before lol.) Please and thank you x
OK DNI:
-if you write/read noncon/dubcon and dead dove fics, i have a lot of really negative views and putting them all here will just make my teeth itch
-if you’re a minor, please dni with my 18+ content!!!!!! I realize I can’t prevent y’all from coming here or reading my fics but i dont need to hear about it! im happy ur reading my stuff, and im very grateful, but pls understand that as an adult it makes me uncomfy hearing abt it, and any normal adult should probably feel that way.
-however, if u are a minor and an adult on here is giving u some weird vibes this blog is very much a safe space to talk abt them, i am very here for u, idc who they are or who you are, i do not tolerate adults taking advantage of kids in any way shape or form and i will go full mama bear mode
-terfs and maps/p*dos and other similar degenerates stay far the fuck away. i am not above publicly shaming you, and i am really really good at swinging and hitting low. i will bring up ur dead relative and im going to talk abt fucking ur mom. if ur mom is dead ill talk abt fucking ur dad. i dont care.
-lemme reiterate, TERFS are NOT ALLOWED. i specifically hate you so deeply, so intensely, my breasts ache with rage at the thought of being able to verbally or physically smack one of you bitches into the dirt. on this blog we respect the FUCK out of pronouns and gender identity and if u can’t vibe with that i genuinely think u are actual garbage, u are subhuman to me, if god asked me to recreate the caste system you would be at the bottom and i would get off to watching you suffer.
-i am once again repeating dead dove accounts stay far away from me. i dont go out of my way to be a bitch to you directly, so i am just asking you do the same for me. i do think we can hate each other and co-exist, unlike me and the terfs.
(random shit about me below the cut line. im sorry, it’s best u just find out i am literally insane right off the bat)
i work at a small coffee shop that’s also a chocolate/ice cream store (i will not be writing a coffee shop au, unless it’s for one of the unholy trinity or someone who has a plot idea that will make me overlook writing my job in fanfic). i do actually think i am the hottest person in the room most of the time, and the funniest at least half of the time.
My hobbies include complaining, playing ps4 or my nintendo switch (please tell me if u play ACNH, i had to get a new switch and my whole ass island was deleted. i need some fucking iron nuggets please im begging on my knees), and playing chess on chess dot com. (yes, im single, thank u for asking). i can play a weird variety of instruments but not well. I rewatch glee every other month, and twilight every month. i can recite the entire first 20-30 mins of the emperor’s new groove from memory, and also most of yzma’s lines. i have a lot of love for satire and adult cartoons, meaning i will unironically defend south park (but my favorite adult cartoons are bob’s burgers, king of the hill, and futurama)
my favorite color is pink, my favorite singers are Amy Winehouse & Taylor Swift (and i could write an entire essay on their lyrical geniuses, musical styles, and what songs of theirs i think go together perfectly). my favorite food is potatoes, my favorite animals are bears (specifically the spectacled bear), and my favorite flowers are pink japanese camellias. now you know the most intimate details of my personality. holy shit are you still reading. bro i just put this here because i thought it would be funny. i ddin’t even think someone would read this post. damn u must really wanna know abt me huh. ok well my favorite alcoholic drink is some goddamn jim beam bourbon or whiskey over a lot of ice. close second is jack and coke. i’m on antipsychotics so i can’t get drunk often, and when i do it’s after 2 drinks. i can’t take nyquil because it aggravates my mental issues. i am allergic to pollen, tree nuts, and literal spiders and mosquitoes (their bites give me rashes that look like im dying of some rare disease). i have 8 tattoos. i do 2000 crunches a day. i can hold a plank for 2 mins and 33 seconds. (learning margot robbie can do this for 4 mins has awakened something very competitive in me). i can hold the flex arm hang for so long i get bored and have to stop. holy shit dude ur still reading? jesus chirst. i can read tarot cards. i can read runestones. i’ve had the same nightmare/dream since i was 7, in different angles / places / scenarios, but always the same universe. i read wiki articles for fun and it’s not even about cool things like ww1 or the geneva convention. i have 2 older brothers that i love. we are the same people. my mom is my favorite person. she is why my brothers and i are Like That. my stepdad gave me good taste in film and women. my stepmom’s life is more interesting than mine or yours ever will be. my dad is slowly becoming a swifty, but he’s also unfortunately starting to fall down the right-wing pipeline and it’s a mega fucking bummer dude. thanks, joe rogan. i can do a not good kermit the frog impression but by god will i keep doing it. if im not in film for writing or directing then im going for acting bc at the end of the day at least im cute and funny. i am fully convinced i could kick ben shapiro’s ass. i am also fully convinced i could kick joe rogan’s ass. i play chess so that if i am for whatever reason challenged by andrew tate, i can humiliate him and make him fucking weep. and i also just like it and have been playing it my entire life. i am a certified pothead and stoner, and i vibe heaviest w the sober ppl at parties. speaking of parties and bars, i am the drunk white girl in the bathroom that tells you you look beautiful, sometimes while sobbing. speaking of sobbing, i cry really easily watching movies and tv shows, and i have gotten really good at holding it back just enough so i get that cheryl blossom style single tear down the cheek for a bit. i can cry on command, and my form of self-defense is barking (and now ppl are starting to do it on tiktok so it feels less original but it also feels good knowing that it’s so fucking effective) ok dam if u really read all this ur fucking nuts dude kudos to u tho. i am literally actually insane though fr fr like not in a cute way literally in a ‘what is wrong with u’ way. lots of things is the answer.
#intro post#dni list#ummmmm this is probably fine#im old i dont care about formatting im sorry#i tried to make it as not ugly as possible while still making it slightly jarring so that it's read#also important to mention i have a touch of mental spice so sometimes my fics will be Fucking Sad#Sorry About That#i will try to keep the existentialism to a minimum

Baby B is 3!?!?
I guess this blog has turned into annual posts because it seems that I only write when it’s Baby B’s birthday! The past year has completely flown by, and here we are at yet another pandemic birthday! In usual fashion, Baby B is going to have a small family party, but since he hasn’t really met any other kids other than his siblings yet...that is ok with him!
Two was a big year for B because he learned SO much! There’s been so many words (like “actually” and “because”), new stunts (like sneaking out of his crib and dragging kitchen chairs over to the countertops and climbing up them to get stuff out of the cabinets), and new experiences that I don’t think I can remember everything! This little guy has kept us on our toes with all of his silliness this year, and we love it!
This year, he got to experience the “only child” lifestyle while the big kids went off to school. At first he HATED it - he was very crabby, asked me where they were every 5 minutes, and thew a bunch of tantrums...but after about 3 weeks he embraced the life of fun that comes with getting to play with any toys you want when your siblings are away! We have had some great times together - lots of parks, baking experiments, playing, and attention. He loves it, and so do I!
Baby B is quite the TV addict and loves Blippi, Truck Tunes, Lots and Lots of Trucks, Paw Patrol, and Daniel Tiger. He is very persistent about watching his shows and knows that I will usually give in (well, I give into him a lot. Whatever, he is cute!)
He loves his snacks at all hours of the day...I mean who else doesn’t crave Chipotle Cheddar Popcorners at 8:38 AM? If I tell him “no” that won’t stop him...he invites himself to the pantry, finds a bowl, and helps himself! He also likes to get apples out of the fridge and then leave the cores around for me to find (sometimes days) later!
Baby B still hasn’t had a haircut because I refuse to say goodbye to his lovely curls. He gets mistaken for a girl every now and then...but I’m still not changing my mind! We get a kick out of his white, wispy hair...it’s so different than his siblings’ thick locks!
He recently embarked on the potty training adventure, and he is doing great! I especially love when he tells me to leave him alone in the bathroom because he needs some privacy. I wonder where he heard that one from? (The answer is Peeps.)
As he’s grown older he’s started asserting himself around his siblings...especially Bro. They are into the same types of toys so this has been causing some disagreements, but I guess on the bright side, he has found a great playmate in Bro! Baby B and Peeps rarely fight...she likes to try and calm him down and reads him books and that kind of thing. He really looks up to her!
He wants to do everything the big kids do, but he is still my snuggly little guy! He hasn’t grown a ton over the last year, so I can still carry him around and hold him (when he lets me), but he is definitely more independent!
If you know Baby B at all, then you know that there are 2-3 things he cannot live without: boppy (his pacifier), Blue Teddy, and sometimes his bear blanket. He has these things with him all day, and if we can’t find one of them...YOWZA. We will be working on ditching the pacifier soon...but whenever he is upset, tired, or a little crabby, those items are his go-tos. We even got a backup Blue Teddy in case the first one got lost, but he can tell the difference and does NOT like “clean” Blue Teddy!
He recently learned how to do a thumbs up and loves flashing one all the time...it is hilarious! He also doesn’t go anywhere without his firefighter rain boots...even when it’s 100 degrees and sunny outside. Some other random facts - he loves the color red (he enjoys rocking a head-to-toe red outfit every now and then), knows the name of every type of vehicle, and loves hide-n-seek. Although when I’m pretending to search for him, I’ll yell out something like, “Is Brendan in the closet?” And he will ALWAYS yell back, “NO!” and then start laughing hysterically. I guess we have some hide-n-seek practice to do! Also, whenever we turn on the microwave, he calls it the “microwave engine.” He was very distraught when our microwave broke and we had to replace it...he told the VERY lengthy story to Grammy right after it all went down!
Two really funny/awesome things about him - he LOVES singing and dancing. He makes up words to songs all the time and is really quick to pick up a tune. He also loves dance parties and coming up with crazy moves that make us all crack up. He is quite the comedian and I’m pretty sure he knows that he is very cute!
So much has happened over the last year, and I can’t believe we’re about to close out age 2! He is seriously so much fun and the best addition to our family. We can’t wait to celebrate him Sesame Street-style this weekend! We love you Baby B, and hope you have the most magical year yet!
Our little goofball

BNHA X DP Crossover HCs
After the long wait and finals, here are my ideas for all the quirks/occupations and other concepts I devised for the DP characters in the BNHA universe. This was just for fun and for inspiration towards others interested in this crossover au in general.
Tagging the people that were looking forward to this post based on the replies: @qoinq-qhost, @floralflowerpower, @tgfangirl4eva @goodfish-bowl, @whitehairglowinggreeneyedcrush and more.
Anyways, happy reading, folks!
Mr. Lancer
Hero name: Mr. Scholastic
Quirk: Bookworm
Involves his iconic usage of literature titles & quotes for swears to become abilities corresponding to the novel’s contents/themes. Course, he is limited to only books he has read and can quote accurately. Additionally, his voice gets very raspy past two or three quotes as well.
Occupation: Homeroom Teacher for Class 1- A; He’s very dedicated to his new students and teaching the fundamentals of being a pro hero and more! Course, I don’t think his chamomile tea with a wedge of lemon is enough to help him relax from his students (*cough* Danny, Tucker and Poindexter) from their antics at times.
Danny
Hero name: Phantom
Quirk: Ghost core (Ok, @coffeecakecafe had the best name for this one gotta give credit here)
Able to do anything a ghost is perceived to do. Go through walls, disappear and fly. This is a one of a kind quirk as it was obtained from Danny’s old quirk being altered by a machine his parents made that would repurpose/alter an individual’s quirk based on their past family members' own metahuman genetics.
Danny is doing his best and trying to understand his new quirk without causing too much attention to himself while doing so but it seems like its been doing the opposite as of late. Thankfully, he won’t be doing it alone with all his classmates around to help him!
Sam
Hero Name: Black Dahlia
Quirk: Overgrown
Able to create any plant that she knows the biological makeup and content of in almost any environment. However, it is important for her to drink lots of nutrient rich water and take in enough sun if she plans to create larger versions of these plants.
Tucker
Hero name: Tech Master
Quirk: Tech Core
Located on his chest/heart area is a special energy core capable of powering electronics at a rate faster than anything made-man could ever hope to achieve. As a kid, Tucker would tinker away in his family’s garage on a suit that would harness his power to the fullest extent and lead a new era of support tech in the hero world.
Valerie
Hero name: Red Huntress
Quirk: Electromagnetism (Someone I’ve been trying to find their post on my blog had posted this idea and I fell in love with it ever since)
She’s like Static Shock but with a dash of magenta/ruby lasers she can create through focusing her electromagnetism through her finger tips. She is an expert with her quirk and has the best handle of her quirk than most of her peers. She is the most frequent visitor in the support equipment workshop next to Tucker, Poindexter and Danny. It’s how she built the hoverboard she has in the show that utilizes her electromagnetic abilities for both offensive and defensive maneuvers. (Also, I enjoy the idea that Bullet is Val’s uncle on her mom’s side and is her biggest supporter alongside her dad, Damien Gray).
Jazz
Quirk: Serenity
Helps calm individuals and give them a sense of safety/security when they’re around her in a 10 feet radius. Though, anyone out of range cannot be affected by her quirk and she needs to be conscious in order to use it.
She planned on becoming a pro hero but felt her powers were best suited for her dream profession as a psychologist. She has used her quirk a lot when Danny was overwhelmed with his studies prior to UA. Course, a phone call and sibling chat over the phone certainly does the job for Danny now when it comes to preparing material for exams. (Course, its up to you guys to decide)
Dash
Hero name: Rager
Quirk: Strength Magnification
Improves his physique and stamina by a large percentage for a set amount of time. Needs to be careful of how much/long he magnifies his body or else his body will become immensely sore.
Kwan
Hero name: Rallier
Quirk: Team Rally (50/50)
Able to duplicate himself 3-4 times while being able to power-up allies’ quirks or stamina with a rally chant to help the team. The more duplicates there are the rally effect multiplies/stacks on the individual but it can lead to dangerous outcomes for their quirk output.
Kwan is the class representative for 1-A, he’s the best at the job and was more than thrilled to be the one leading his class in more ways than one.
Paulina
Hero name: Enchantress
Quirk: Charm
If the opponent is flustered by her taunts or flirting, their vision will become altered and start seeing things that are not there. It works better on men than women and the opponent can snap out of it with enough willpower or if they’re not interested in her.
Star
Hero name: Ms. Meteorite
Quirk: Comet
Similar to Gran Torino’s Jet quirk except faster and she can create an explosive impact on where she lands. Similar to a meteorite landing on earth, she also learns to use this as a long distance move by punching fast enough as she descends to create wind pressure punches.
Poindexter
Hero name: Tex (like in Tex Avery; Danny gave him the idea!)
Quirk: Slapstick
His appearance is black and white just like an old timey cartoon character as well as having the durability and cartoon powers of one. However, his quirk can only work as long as what he does with it is funny in the circumstance it’s used for. Sort of like “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” rules in a sense.
Sidney is part of Class 1-A just saying, I don’t care, this is Poindexter’s time to shine here to be the coolest/funniest person in the class. Also, Tucker’s most loyal friend/tester for new support items.
Wes Weston
Hero name: Vigilance
Quirk: Deduction
He is able to deduct people’s identities to flaws/weak points for him to use against them and exploit against problems.
Class 1-B Representative and the most annoying/terrifying person that Danny has dealt with in his life. He was able to figure out that Danny’s quirk is not his own or more so that it's not natural and takes every opportunity to state this regardless if anyone is listening or not.
Amber Mclain
Hero Name: Ember
Quirk: Fiery voice (50/50)
Her quirk uses the vibrations in her sining voice to conduct intense heat waves onto opponents or utilize to rumble the structures around here and even put out the flames from her quirk. Its like a combination of Present Mic and Endevours quirk but it leaves her with a strained or inflamed vocal cords with overuse.
Third year student or an upcoming rock star that has certainly gain huge popularity after her song “Remember” was a nationwide hit amongst the younger generation. She’s striving to be the top hero while making her next hit to become the 1# song on the listings.
Dani
Hero name: Phantwo (lol jk; unsure what her name would be)
Quirk: Poltergeist
Similar to Danny’s quirk “Ghost”, except she has the additional ability to melt herself to a slimy puddle and use her ectoplasmic slime to trap or surprise opponents.
Clockwork
Hero Name: Clockwork
Quirk: Time Keeper
Clockwork’s quirk allows him to stop time for 5 to 15 minutes and be able to rewind it in the same amount of time. It can be one to multiple objects as long as he touches them in order to interact with them.
Principle of UA in this au. He’s quite a reserved man but still manages to visit and congregate with students throughout the school during lunch period.
Flynn Fenton/Flynn Walker
Hero Name: The Green Knight
Quirk: Mineralization
His quirk allows him to manipulate the minerals and inorganic materials in the atmosphere to create into crystalized constructs that are almost stronger than diamond. Luckily, the crystals have no value so he doesn’t have to worry about that aspect of his quirk. He does have to worry about his skin becoming dried out as a result of his quirk usage.
Flynn is a third year student that loves to check up on his cousin, Danny, any chance he gets bc of the amount of work he does with his internships.
James Walker (or James W. Hausermann)
Hero name: Warden Wraith
Quirk: Plasma Apparatus
His quirk ionizes the electrolytes in the blood system into plasma. His entire body is composed of plasma giving him his skeletal appearance. He can create plasma chains, teleport from point A to B and more as long as he focuses and has enough energy at use. Course, he can have minor to severe dehydration and imbalance in his electrolyte levels from overuse.
Occupation: CEO of an infrastructure security company/Provisional License Examiner just like Gang Orca.The ghost prison guards become his backup/helpers for the exam phases. (They’re just trained stuntmen with combat or military experience for the occasion).
Also, I like to think Walker has kids in this au who are in the Class 1-A group; they’re not hard to spot they take after their father with their skeletal complexion.
Skulker
Villain name: Quirk Hunter
Quirk: Tracker
The moment Skulker makes eye contact with his target he will be able to hunt them down and find them anywhere no matter how good they are at covering their tracks. He can lock on to only one target, but he will be able to know their heart beat, quirk, be able to place a tracking/scent line that only he can see and will lead him to his target’s location. It lasts for over a day or a half.
Occupation: Skulker is known for capturing, info-detailing or “retiring” newcomer pros or specific quirk users for his clients that pay him handsomely for their targets, dead or alive. Thanks to Vlad, Danny was strictly intended to be captured alive by Skulker but sometimes he gets too thrilled by the hunt to not have a memento. Trust me, it's more of a dangerous
Nicolai Technus
Villain Name: Technus
Quirk: Technopathy
A genius in his own right, even if he’s a little crazy, with the best ability possible for a man of science and innovation. As long as he knows the makeup and attributes of the machine, Technus is able to completely repurpose or change a machine’s qualities for offensive and defensive qualities. Whenever that be for a mech suit or hacking a high tech system for entry, he’s able to do it as long as he knows what it is and how it functions. An example is repurposing a slot machine into a submachine gun that shoots coins at the target.
Vlad Masters
Name: Vlad Plasmius
Quirk: Vampire
Can do anything a vampire can supposedly do. However, he was able to manifest an additional aspect of this quirk which is the ability to copy any quirk users ability. Based on the type of blood he ingests decides the amount of time he can use the copied quirk for.
Occupation: CEO of his own hero firm, he is extremely selective with the interns he has that there is a major waitlist to be even consider for Masters Inc. Course, imagine the surprise Danny must of felt when he received an offer from Vlad right off the bat after the Sports festival.
Bruce Guiles (Bullet)
Hero Name: Bullet
Quirk: Sphyraena or Chimera Fish
Able to do anything a barracuda can do or the quirk is a 50/50 mutant quirk in which he has both the traits of a barracuda, Chimaeras and a touch of piranha from his parents being of one of these fish species hence Chimera. Bullet can do anything those fish can do overall but he can’t go too long without hydration from water. Water quality and its oxygen content also affect his abilities by a noticeable percentage but he still remains quite formidable as a quirk user.
Occupation: Captain of a coast guard team, he’s a strict military man with an amazing record of saving people from any disasters both on land and sea. Him and Walker are best buddies ever since they went to school together.
Vortex
Hero Name: Vortex
Quirk: Storm Warning
Vortex can utilize any variation of a natural disaster depending on the environment he’s in. Hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, you name it he can create it for his use. However, despite his amazing control over his quirk it is still possible for him to create these disasters if he lost control or magnify another pre-existing one if he loses focus.
Occupation: Storm-chaser/Forecaster; His control and knowledge in combating/predicting these natural disasters has led to him to be part of a storm chasing crew and they’re the best in helping disaster prevention teams evacuate citizens as a result.
Petra Eris
Hero name: Pandora
Quirk: Butterfly Effect
Can manipulate or prevent a chaotic event to happen if she was in proximity and present to prevent it to happen. Or even give a little chaos to the opponent to deal with during battle.
One of the top ten heroes and most beloved heroes in the country. She is the best strategist in any team and has a way to predict any event before they happen given the necessity of it for her quirk to work in her favor.
Johnny
Vigilante name: Johnny 13
Quirk: Unlucky
Johnny manifests his bad luck into a shadow that will latch onto opponents and cause unfortunate events to occur more for that individual as a result. However, the shadow cannot exist in complete sunlight; it can only remain if there are already shadows in his general area or it’s nighttime and its effects are strongest at that time obviously.
Occupation: Johnny is the leader of a biker gang or de-facto leader of said biker gang who loves to raise hell and helping folks that need saving whenever he’s around or is up to the task. Kitty tags along with him to help him out of jams and bc she loves him. :3
Kitty
Vigilante name: Kitty
Quirk: Lovesick
Kitty sends a smooch towards her opponent which if it makes contact causes the individual to have nausea or become disoriented for around 10 minutes. It can also have a chance of lasting longer if the individual was sort of infatuated with her regardless of gender.
Pariah Dark
Villain name: King Pariah
Quirk: Ultimate Adaptation
Similar to all for one except with the unpredictability for both the user and opponents. Pariah can manifest any type of quirk needed to defeat anyone that stands in his way both one-on-one and in groups. Course, drawbacks are the learning curve to some of the quirks and that multiple adaptions he utilizes at once will destroy his cells in the process.
Pariah is a former follower of all for one who had unique quirk that All for one augmented to help him succeed if both Shigaraki and Tomura failed in their own conquest for the world. But now Pariah has his own plans to succeed where they failed and become the leader who shapes a new world order with an iron fist.
Frederick Kingsmen
Villain/vigilante name: Fright Knight
Quirk: Burning Energy Infusion
Able to form/infuse objects with his own burning energy life force that is capable of burning or slicing through any in his sight. The sweat he gives off is what provides the material needed to ignite his unnatural flames despite it causing his body to overheat still.
Fright Knight is Pariah’s second-in-command with a loyalty to him as strong as his control over his power. Fright Knight has faced many pro-heros as he carried out the smaller phases of Pariah’s plans and most of them barely came close towards defeating or leaving as much as scratch on the knight.
Rodolfo Gonzalo
Hero name: Wulf
Quirk: Werewolf + Portal creation (50/50?)
Can do anything a werewolf can supposedly do; somehow it allows him to create portals with his claws to locations he has marked with them or visited in the past.
Wulf was abducted on by Pariah’s forces and sent into the Nomu labs for experimentation to force on another quirk and instill complete allegiance to their cause. Course, Wulf broke free as a result of that new additional quirk allowing him to escape their clutches and his previous one helping him survive the endeavor. However, he lost his memories in the process and could only remember his native language, Spanish, and his hero name Wulf.
Overgrown
Villain/vigilante Name: Overgrown
Quirk: Plant Manipulation
Can manipulate any pre-existing plant matter or create new vegetation if water and soil is present for the process or he understand the biological makeup of the plant in question.
Occupation: Pro-hero or eco-terrorist who is tired of humanity from abusing the environment from quirk battles to industries using the land for their own benefits and none others.

hae interrogationes multae respondeant quia demens .
if you read this entire ask post you deserve a gold star and financial recompensation
Um, Obviously because when you’re adopted by a white guy you automatically become white duhhh
this is about this post lmao and yeah youre absolutely right, you have to hand your poc card in when you get adopted by a white guy.
Do you think Cass would listen to Yanni, the YouTube channel epic symphonic rock, or some other stuff? There's some cool mashups but idk if that's up your alley, I kinda feel like I'm pushing it with my weird taste of music by recommending an orchestra cover of metal, but i just love that sort of thing and mashups :P @harvestyourcherries
i haven’t heard of that? but in my personal (correct) opinion steph listens to classical music, and then both modern and older, and then also stuff like black sabbath, iron maiden, but also hardrock and hardcore. i like the idea of cass just liking the most extreme screaming songs full of noise and then also listen to pachelbel’s 370th sonata yanno? THANK YOU for the rec tho
speaking of ur cass playlist hc...reminds of the time (yesterday) i found 2 playlists randomly on spotify from the same user. one was abt 3 hours of instrumental/classical "dark" & "nostalgic" music. the other almost 11 hours of nothing but hardcore bass/synth/electronic music. just an incredible tightrope act to put on in public. the synth one was also called like "psalms for synth sluts" which is Also incredible
tbh i LOVE synth SO MUCH like for no reason at all but then also cannot handle a poppy electronic beat lmao. but this seems like the kinda thing i’d do but just in one (1) playlist bc i just sort songs by vibe instead of genre? that’s how i end up with britney spears and billy ray cyrus in the same playlist.
Oh, I want Kate Kane playlist next! It would be amazing if you could do one when you have time and will 🙏
how rude would it be of me to just say no? like sorry kate but idk you and also you seem way too keen on the us military for an institution that homophobically targeted you? (and also commits war crimes) but let’s unpack the fact that the institution that caused the death of your mom and sister and also got you blacklisted for being gay is still one you align with???
'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' --- when i tell you i fucking screamed LOL!!!!!!! i can imagine the cameraman not knowing if he should cut to commercial or keep it on these two weirdos fighting on stage (bruce definitely ruffled dick's hair/noogied him right??
about this post but yeah lmao. this cameraman just turns to like the audience to get a reaction and it’s just multiple moments of CLEAR shock.
you are the only funny person on this hellsite
how egotistical is it for me to say that i get this ask multiple times a month? bc it literally happens so often it’s hilarious to me.
Wish there was more john/Bruce content 😔😔😔 was so hungry I actually looked at canon media 😔😔😔 (Justice League Dark babeeeyyyyyy)
check out batman: damned for some mediocre content but at least it’s john/bruce (also very interesting story and stuff, just got very >:( over this weird part where harley quinn tried to r*pe bruce or something? it’s not for everyone)
dick grayson but he's nicki minaj
his anaconda don’t want none,,, unless......
Dick Grayson was never a cop, he played Marshall on Paw Patrol
you are SO right. also paw patrol is a fucking good show idc. that shit could’ve been the new steven universe on this hellsite.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CS1lI0bLI7-/?utm_medium=copy_link
...
why do people keep reposting my CONTENT. if you are not funny yourself don’t just grab shit off of tumblr and post it on insta,,, get a life. sidenote: should i start an insta and get all these ppl to take my content down that would be funny as hell.
Might I suggest for a Gotham City Meme: something about the true crime fandom thirsting for the rogues gallery
ok can i just say something slightly controversial?? no? i don’t find true crime ppl who are into criminals funny, that shits disturbing irl im not gonna bring that into my very chill universe.
i may have never seen a 'jason cleaning guns in sink' fic but i do know he WOULD
THANK YOU
bestie im sorry to say this to you but while you can, and people do wash their guns in the sink, that is a lot of lead in a very vital part of the kitchen.
people tend to do it in the bathtub.
WHY???? like damn why do you even have guns
i dont think i read many gun sink fics exactly but i have read lots of fics where jason cleanes his guns in the living room. usualy dissembles them and cleans them with a rag i think
lmao fair enough, like i think that’s a large part of what i remember as well.
if you say you've seen/read gun sink fics I believe you. I think those of us who didn't see them are lucky or maybe didn't search for fics by tags or something idk
i mean ive never sought them out but i HAVE seen them,, like definitely i know almost for certain.
saw your tags and I'm interested in Steph/Kara now. They would be the most chaotic couple <3
literally thoooo, i have a wip where they get together in a zombie apocalypse and like UGGGHhhh i am so in love with them.
I am the Breece anon. Thanks for the recommendation; am reading now. I’ve always been a hardcore Superman fan because I love my pure himbo farm boy. My logic is, if one Bruce is a Broose, then multiple Broose are a herd of Breece. And this is a hill upon which I will perish.
fair enough,,,, like moose, meese, goose, geese, bruce, breece. i get your logic and i stand by it as well. (glad you enjoyed the comic recs!!!!)
It's a beautiful day in Gotham, and you are a group of horrible Breece
OH my god dude lmao
there only being 42 fics on ao3 for tim and bernard is honestly so sad i need more
it’s like twice that now!!! we did it lads. (tho very sad that my fic isnt number one but like number 4 :(((( )
i'm too late you already did the poll lol but may i suggest bethy (bernard + timothy)
shit dude that wouldve been so fucking funnyyyyy. think ppl have just stuck to timber tho, tim/bernard kinda died down recently and i think it’s too bad, they’re a great couple and i love them.
Wait, hear me out
Bernothy @redlightofdawn
great recommendation (lmao this ask is from like a month ago) but very sorry to announce that NARDTH is the superior shipname
Wait, we know that bernard likes milfs (Tim's step-mom) but what about dilfs? gilfs?
Wait no, I regret sending that ask
these were two seperate asks and they’re HILARIOUS. in my personal opinion tho,,, milfs, gilfs, dilfs are just about vibes and bernard is just attracted to sexy ppl who may sometimes be milfs, dilfs, or EVEN gilfs.
crime in bludhaven would drop to half if nightwing had a boob window. in this essay i will-
WHERE’S THE ESSAY ANON, WHERE’S THE FUCKING ESSAY
Wait if Barbra and Tim r at opposite ends at all times what happened to Barbra once everyone’s Tim’s ever love before started dying lol
she won a lottery ticket and spent 2 weeks on a resort in the bahamas before returning home and finding out that the joker was arrested for tax evasion and then spent a month staying at her big tiddie goth girlfriend’s house before conner came back to life and she broke her pinkie playing table hockey.
Why is the opposite end thing so funny and compelling to me. Tim comes back from his depression quest for Bruce and Babs is now a literal god
lmao when tim loses his spleen barbara reaches nirvana.
Are you still taking music recs because I have three songs that remind me of Jason that I think you'd like
send to me or lose a toe
🌸 ⭐ put this star into the inbox of your favorite blogs. it’s time to spread positivity! ⭐🌸😋
thanks, i wont tho on account of i wont.

⬆️
This is the whole of Blüdhaven and everyone anywhere.
Nightwings ass alone saves more people in a calendar year and does more for so society than most heroes do their whole career.Also u are one of the funniest tumblr pages out there. The vibes are unmatched and the memes and tags ✨send me✨.Thank u and goodnight @julia-flow
fanksss also lmao.
That's going to be a little bit difficult to explain, but
There's some music that you listen to and you think, "oh my gosh, I can perfectly imagine Dick Grayson singing this song, with the same voice as the singer because that voice matches with Dick Grayson"?
oh yeah totally lmao. i have a lot of songs that i think are just entirely dick grayson yanno? kind of all of my playlists have that vibe, but i really find bleachers to fit with dick? idk.
"Lois lane/Superman" fics this, "Lois lane/Clark Kent" fics that, (/lh) let's get into the real good stuff. Some people ship Lois, Clark, and Superman as a throuple. Most popular fic tag for sure
yes totally, i think they’d be absolutely killer on ao3 and clark gets so fucking embarassed about it.
I miss your post, hope you’re doing okay!!
haha this was like 2 months ago, but i was doing fine then too! just didn’t have a lot of inspiration in terms of content.
Doot doot!
noot noot
I’m confused. What did DC do now? Like with nightwing? And another sibling? Please spoil everything for me
lmao they gave him a secret sister plotline where they had his dad cheat on his mom with tony zucco’s wife, bc dick’s life wasn’t traumatic enough yet.
sorry but it's so funny that batman is called "the dark knight" when the gotham city baseball team is called the gotham knights. it'd be like if a vigilante was running around new york called like "the scary yankee"
lmaooo no. but like yankee comes from dutch names or something so wouldnt it be HILARIOUS if gotham knights came from like german names and bruce would be running around called the dark KLAUS UND NIEK @graysonnightwing
(not a batcest shipper) it’s so funny to me that the responses are “i’m a batcest shipper because i can differentiate fiction from reality and and it doesn’t bother me personally, but i understand why you oils think it’s weird” to “i wish all batcest shippers a very fucking die”
yeah lmaoo. i personally basically flipped my entire stance around to ‘i dont care please leave me and everybody else alone’ bc i think there’s really no point in starting a moral dillema over some fucking fandom bullshit. Please just,,, go home,,, log off, find a nice forest to have a little walk in and remember that somewhere in history, somebody probably died in the place you’re standing. and you will also die someday, and somebody will have to look at your internet usage and see you fighting multiple people anonymously while being named ‘nightwingsbuttchin200186′ like... calm down, we’re all gonna die this is not the thing to worry about.
so since like "wards" don't really exist in modern society almost all the batkids are foster kids, right? i used to work in the system and imagine: monthly visits from social workers and guardian ad litems, bruce having to get permission to take the boys anywhere out of state, calling their social worker at like 8 a.m. like "yeah dick broke his arm again... a gymnastics accident this time...." their poor social worker. bruce send her a huge bouquet and box of chocolates every month to stay on her good side
i imagine the social worker just getting into the case like ‘yeah let’s get this kid a good guardian’ and then ending up having to work with 22 y/o bruce wayne and his 50 y/o dad. and so this social worker is like ‘okay we can work with this, this is the best home i can find’ and then like it ends up landing on its feet and then the kid gets adopted and then they get a call a year later like ‘uhm so hi, this kid tried to steal my tyres can i adopt him?’ and like 3 years later. ‘okay so basically, my neighbours’ kid imprinted on me and now they’re dead, can i keep him?’ two years later it’s like ‘okay so this assassin child-’
ever since I saw that one post of yours, the meme that's something like "I know that abba's backup dancer got me" with a picture of discowing, I've been haunted. Every once in a while I'll be minding my own business then the image of abba's backup dancer dick grayson aka nightwing aka discowing will flash in my mind and I'll be frozen in place. Today at work I was in the middle of folding clothes and suddenly once again discowing entered my mind and I suddenly lost the ability to see anything except He. Thank you.
wow. the IMPACT.
Braver than any US marine man props to you🤝
this shit is about the time i wrote an article on batcest, like man,,, the fact that i didn’t get cancelled is MIRACULOUS. also like,,, uh if anybody on here did gossip on me,, send screenshots i’d love to see it.
Hello, just wanted to say your article was great. Thank you for taking the time to provide an unbaised answer. It should provide people with nuances they couldn't possibly conjure on their own.
May I ask where your username originates from?
yes you may (also thanks!!!) i thought it up when i was trying to find an original username bc i didnt want to be called like ‘timdrakes something something’ or ‘jason todd something smoething’ or ‘dick grayson something something’ yanno? so i thought batarangs, they sound so dumb and that’s my username story... now it’s my whole entire brand lmao.
yno that bit in kick ass where red mist asks kick ass if he wants a hit of his blunt, was that the inspo for stoner tim
no? it’s bc i think stoners are hilarious and drugs are great. (dont do drugs tho)
How would u feel if someone actually wore one of those bruce or ollie pride shirts u edited
fenomenal next question.
Dick as lil huddy and Jason as James gave me radiation poisoning and now I’m screaming crying throwing up so thx for that
(Rico suave as Tim is perfect tho literally no changes needed)
i was so funny for that shit wasn’t i??? lmao i loved those weird ass fancasts
You're doing the Lord's work by providing us with all these Gotham/Metropolis citizens memes, thank you for being so relentlessly funny @nellethiel-aranel
you’re welcome!! i really enjoy making memes, but getting validation for my content and my memes is REALLY nice.
Bruce is such a slut in your memes and honestly i love that for him @rhodey-rhudert-rhodes-main
he’s that much of a slut irl too dw.
Bruce and Alfred have an emergency pride flag for the batkids. Oliver Queen printed an emergency "I love my gay son" t-shirt and as soon as Roy told him he was dating Jason, Oliver started wearing that shirt everyday and Roy always cringes when he sees it. Oliver also has an emergency "I love my lesbian daughter" shirt just in case for Cissie.
lmao YES i had a post like this bc like all of their kids/family members are so gayy
stop bringing back batfam fancasts it is not real it is not real it is not- 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
oh yes it is my darling.
did discowing burn down the notredam because he hates the bees? @allulily
no he did it bc fuck the french.
im gonna beg for 1 thing and 1 thing only. please please please put physical by olivia newton john on dick's playlist
okay then beg. bc i wont. physical reminds me too much of glee and that hurts me mentally.
your playlist is sorely missing some Madonna. Specifically Into the Groove, Like a Prayer, and Vogue
i’m scared of madonna that’s why she’s not on there. she haunts me in my dreams.
suggestion: son of batman by aaron dews for dick’s playlist🤩
sorry, i listened to it and the vibe didn’t agree with me.
Hear me out, metropolis citizens sending rare pair fics of Clark Kent x Superman fics to Lois to edit
yes, absolutely hilarious. even more funny if they send like physical copies, no address attached and lois sends it back marked with red ink, SOMEHOW
Imagine all the smut Clark must of read editing the fics
clark reads smut confirmeeed
NOT LOIS READING SUPERBAT PORN AND EDITING IT A 2AM
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hc that alfred is a meta that boosts healing factor of the people around him. if the bats are injured as much as they seem to be they would be doing bat stuff MAYBE half the year. no one including alfred knows about this. whenever the kids move out they inexplicably dont recover from injuries as fast and feel better whenever they visit the manor they just chalk it up to homesickness. bruce just thinks he heals really fast. alfred thinks everyone doesnt take care of themselves properly @finchcollector
that’s actually such a great idea, but i think that alfred would find out and learn how to concentrate it better so he can help more people, bc he’s great and i love him.
One of your dickfast posts reminded me of that tweet that goes: 'so you've had sex how many times? Yeah technically that's not a bromance' lol that's dickwally or dickroy
literally tho. like that’s all of dick’s friendships. once it gets past a certain time dick is like ‘wow i wonder what it would be like to make out with wally, wally come make out with me’ and wally’s like ‘we’ve done this like 40 times, dick, you know what it’s like’ and dick is like ‘sorry are you complaining?’ and they just make out.
superfam and batfam associations??
-batman and superman
-dick/barabara and supergirl?
-conner and tim
-jon and damian
pls enlighten me I am confused
nope,,, uhm batman and superman, but dick and superman as well, and then conner and tim, jon and damian and steph + babs with supergirl
I came across a fic in which Wonder Woman calls Batman "Stella" (like Stellaluna, the children's book) and I can imagine the batkids hop on the trend and maybe copies of the book appear at random places (aka, everywhere Bruce frequents)
sorry can’t reciprocate that was the name of my high school chemistry teacher and it gives me nightmares to think about.
good human what are your pronouns?
wouldn’t you like to know?
I need me some gothamites preferring harley over joker memes
everyone prefers harley over joker youre just very fucked up if you dont
don't understand why people try to add like veteran policy to the batfamily
dick pulling out his veteran batfam member card so he can eat first: step aside, peasants
Do you know the song Simmer by Haley Williams? It (the first verse anyways) reminds me of Jason? It's about rage.
damn yeah i LOVE HAYLEY!!!! youre right thoo
Okay so I like listen to your stoner Tim Drake playlist 24/7 but would he listen to skegss? Also I keep adding songs mentally it’s killing me 😩✋🏼 Anyways,, I literally love and worship your playlist 😃🤞🏼 And uh yeah have a good day ✨
stoner tim drake playlist is lyfeeee. also dont know who skeggs is? i’m stupid? have a good day!!
All the Robins (and Batgirl) decide to trade costumes for one night just to fuck with Batman and all the villains in Gotham. @subspacecadet
batman knows it’s them youknow but like,,, what does he call them? he’s like ‘red hood?’ and 3 people answer and he’s not about to compromise some identities so he’s just Pissed.
I aspire to treat cops the way my dad treats them. This man is a 45 year old Asian immigrant to the US and the treats them like his pets. He talks about them like unruly children. Sometimes he pays off local cops to shut up and stop acting racist. And usually it works. I don’t know why but I can see Oliver Queen doing this
vibes... and also yes? oliver queen handing a local cop a donut to shut the fuck up lmao. but yanno i commit enough crimes to not really want to ever see a cop ever, so they kinda scare the everloving fuck out of me.
seeing as tim hasn't aged in years, that means he was 17 at peak emo tumblr era. im back on my emo tim bullshit and im not letting it go
emo tim had a wattpad account send tweet
People seem to think that batman is so dark and serious when the rainbow batsuit is right there. He wore it with no shame.
dude the 60s were a DIFFERENT TIME
dick grew up in a circus, jason grew up on the streets, and tim was probably raised by the internet
all of them cuss every other word and you cannot tell me otherwise
bitch i KNOW but dc has to change to an 18+ rating if they want to sell comix with swear words in them so we gotta deal with imagining the swear words in ourselves
thoughts on teen titans and young justice
haven’t seen teen titans on account of havent seen it and young justice was LITERALLY my favourite thing ever, tho i do gotta admit it’s not at all similar to the young justice comics unfortunately. i really wouldve liked to see timmy bart kon cassie and cissie animated on tv!!
ew ew ew how to delete batcest shippers I genuinely digust them
log off tumblr?
Okay as poc who was called racist for calling an Italian pastabrain: in the batfam are Italians bit Damian just yells various insults about the others being Italian. Just him yelling “What are you doing you moronic spaghettihead!” At steph etc
huh? i meant real italians. homeboy is telling steph he hopes she chokes on her fucking garlic.
I think it's dumb as hell to pull the batman is the best fighter in the batfam argument because like it's just irresponsible of Bruce to let his kids fight when they couldn't possibly be on his league or something
fair enough, but also like who cares they could all kill you just sit down and take a beating.
lady shiva, thalia al ghul and Selina Kyle are all milfs @notanothertimburtonenthusiastugh
unfortunately, i have to admit,,, you’re right
why tf didn't someone give joker a death sentence already? like he's a mass murderer...give him the electric chair treatment wtf
idk i think plenty of people would have tried to murder him already (boring answer is: he is a popular character so they can’t kill him off bc he brings in lots of money)
There’s no such thing as “ copaganda”.
all american media is propaganda. happy to clear this up for you
is it bad that I find lady shiva owa owa
no. find her as owa owa as you want.
aight I'm guessing the order of your favs in batfam:
1. tim
2. Steph
3. dick
4. Duke
5. the rest
you’re wrong but it’s cute that you tried, i generally don’t have favourites, but i have a special place in my heart for steph, tim, dick and cass. bc they were like my introduction to batfam. but damian, jason, duke, bruce, babs and alfred are NOT FORGOTTEN OR UNLOVED
oh my god i was literally just readily willing to believe that italians werent white ty for clarifying it was a joke im so dumb sdkvjskdfs
i mean some italians aren’t white? italian is a nationality as well as an ethnicity, so like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
since I saw so many people doing headcanons about the nationalities of batboys, I see Dick as an Italian.
dont know if youre serious or not, but sure.
super random but
jason 🤝 damian
old english
lmao fair enough.
tim absolutely has 1 gay uncle and his parents shit talk said uncle all the time so after bruce adopts him he specifically reaches out to this uncle to be like "heyyyy just so you know you majorly influenced my life yes i know i havent seen you since i was 5 and at the family reunion yes i know you dont remember my name idc thank you im gay too" and then they never talk again.
yuppp lmao that’s definitely something that could happen. i can also consider tim having no family members, like none. until he does like a dna test and he realises he has like an aunt living barely 2 miles away from him who’s like some illegitimate child of his grandpa.
I dare you one of them sends clark superman/clark fic and clark corrects the shit out of it and then goes like ps his dick is not that big, just telling as someone who has seen it. internet either explodes or goes who tf did he not fuck at this point.
i think everybody would call clark a buzzkill and try to cancel him over that.
so you're telling me Tim Drake wouldn't buy Starbucks?
no. dunkin donuts all the way
One of my favorite things is imagining people finding out jason came back from the dead and being like "oh no does he have magic powers now?!?!?" and he just pulls out a gun and tries to shoot joker
now he doesn’t even have the gun :) lmao
my favorite batfamily fanfictions are the ones where they use their shitty codenames, unironically, in any context
bruce gets codename ‘ugh’ everytime. he hates it.
crazy that tim being a 17 y/o ceo and a stoner who does brand deals are all actual canon things written in detective comics comics and not made up for shits and giggles by you, tumblr user batarangsoundsdumb @rowdeyclown
SO CRAZY HUH?
batman au where everything is the same but his utility belt is bright pink
absolutely, but i raise you, his boots light up like sketchers when he kicks people.
unbeknownst to the superhero fandom writers in the dcuniverse, clark and BRUCE are one of the most prolific fanfic writers in the superhero rpf tag on ao3. clark writes the best lois x superman angst, full of unhappy endings and scenes that are a so detailed you'd think you were in the middle of a superhero beatdown. bruce made an ao3 account to fuel "the do the butts match" thing, and makes batman/bruce fics from time to time. he wrote a superbat fic as a joke but ended up making it REAL porny. @concrastinator
dude they’re WAY too busy for that. Oliver Queen and Hal Jordan on the other hand are the most prolific fanfic writers in the superhero rpf tag writing what is Mostly porn.

Twenty one. Part 2
I have never seen a quiet Robyn, even when we first met she made me speechless, she always had something to say but this, this is ain’t Robyn at all. She hasn’t moved from her position at all, I think maybe she is shocked that I am actually here “I came here for my suitcase actually” I joked, I mean that is just me “it’s still in my room” she speaks, licking my bottom lip nodding my head “cool” looking over at Mel, she raised an eyebrow, maybe she didn’t want me to say that but I did “come and sit” Mel said “I fried chicken for you, and made mac and cheese extra cheesy” that food does look nice, Mel is trying to sell it to her but I am sold on it “I am getting a plate right?” I pointed out “mhmm, you’re here so I guess” she waved me off “I just want water” Robyn said, she came into my eye view walking to the fridge, I never favoured a skinny Robyn. Mel eyed me up “what?” I mouthed “please” she mouthed back pleading with me, I didn’t come here for me, so I have to do this whatever the fuck is up with her “sit down and eat” I said, Robyn closed the fridge door and proceeded to walk by me, did she ignore me “twin” I said sternly and her ears perked up and abruptly stopped like I shouted at her “I said sit down and eat, the food looks nice as hell. You can’t be wasting food now, it’s not good” kicking the bar stood back “sit” I eyed up the seat, turning to Mel she just smiled “uh yeah, you must hungry right? Flying out here last minute and shit” she knows damn well I am “yeah, man. That mac and cheese looks dope as hell. I am feigning, put extra in there though” Mel laughed “skinny as hell but can eat lots, I hate men that can do that” from the corner of my eye I see Robyn sit down, she listened which is wild that she did.
Mel did not disappoint; this food is the bomb. I licked the paper plate clean, it was nice “I feel bloated now, not going to lie. You got weed here yeah?” Mel eyeballed me “of course, we don’t go anywhere without it so you said Tina stayed in Texas with y’all right?” nodding my head “she was cool, the first night in so long TJ was in his room and didn’t come out which is peace for me and Barry but she cleaned good, I liked it. she cooks good, but it’s not all about that but yeah. It was good to have that woman’ touch around. I am shocked anyone likes TJ, he’s an acquired taste. And it’s a little awkward because I mean Robyn and I ain’t really together like that anymore so that is fun” looking over at Robyn and she was already looking at me “well it’s the longest she has sat here, so you are working wonders already” I mean she has barely touched her food, I am so confused on what is happening to her. Like I am here but I am also very confused on why she is being the way she is, this is awkward in a weird way “you seem to be ok” Robyn speaks “you let me go, what did you want me to do? Cry? You played in my face, getting your ass grabbed by your ex, it’s me that is being played” Mel whistled “whatever, I don’t want to hear it. You like the sound of your own voice” of course she is going to say that “I do? I wanted you to say to me you wanted me, but you let me go and now you’re all depressed? Make it make sense Robyn! You are on that stage flirting with ASAP fucking Rocky” she always makes me angry “can y’all speak, let I really want you both to talk. Come on now” Robyn cannot speak because she runs “she is petty yeah; I didn’t even come here for you anyways. Mel is actually sick of you” feeling a slap on my arm as Robyn stormed off, Mel blew out air “I wish y’all wouldn’t, man” shaking my head “Chris, please. I can promise you now that butt squeeze was not it, Robyn cried about it after. It was never that, she was so shocked he did it. She laughed it off, it wasn’t planned. It happened, if you knew what my friend is going through maybe you will just relax, just go and speak to her. Be calm” Mel is really pushing me to hear this shit, I don’t know what the hell is going on.
I cannot believe that, so the butt squeeze was not planned. I am sorry but the whole thing seemed like she knew, her smile when he did it. But I do believe Mel, that nigga is fucking dumb. Why would you squeeze someone’s ass like that, she isn’t even your woman to be doing that. Well I thought I would come and see Robyn, I will be calm, but she honestly gets me mad thinking she is hard done by, she let me go and now she is depressed. Knocking on her bedroom door “I come to get my suitcase” I am annoying her, clearly because I know she will find that annoying. I can hear some shuffling, clearing my throat with a slight smirk. The door opened and Robyn was quick to roll my case out “aye!” placing my hand on the door “just leave me alone, there is your case. You’re free to go, good luck and goodbye” she clasped her hands together and walked off, grabbing my case and pushing it back into the bedroom “we may not be dating but I said we were always friends, I don’t like to see you down either” closing the bedroom door “I am not your concern” she is a brat “you’re right, you’re not but I said we would always be friends, I did say that Robyn, Mel said that thing with ASAP wasn’t planned, that is wrong that happened to you. I didn’t know so yeah, sorry about that. Actually that nigga need a beating, he shouldn’t be touching you like that at all, on god. But I am sorry about that, I kicked off because I assumed that you let me go because you wanted to go back with him, I just didn’t get it. I looked a clown, I had blogs tagging me in posts. I didn’t know what to do but kept quiet” I shrugged “you really think I would go to him when I told you how much I loved you, how happy I am with you, how happy that I finally got you back in my life, you think that Chris. Deep in your heart? I am shocked that you assumed such a thing when you know how much I adore you; I spoil you so much, more then I have ever done with any man! How could you think that” she saying these things but not to my face “then why let me go, I was stood there, I was stood there waiting for you to say no don’t, I wanted you to speak, you was keeping something away from me and I wasn’t feeling that vibe Robyn, how can you blame me for feeling that way huh?” looking around her bedroom, her room looks like she hasn’t cleaned in since “your room is stank by the way, oh you sleeping with my bear too” Robyn huffed walking to the bathroom, she can be so difficult sometimes but it’s something we can work out.
I opened the blinds and opened the balcony doors, let some air in this bitch. I mean I opened the blinds, but shit is dark out there, I tried I guess “when was the last time you changed your bed covers” I asked, Robyn emerged from the bathroom “what does it got to do with you” I pointed at the sheets “you bleeding?” she got blood on that, Robyn walked over to me and yanked the covers over “just get out please” stepping back a little, give her some space “I need a room to stay in though, you going to show me to one?” I questioned; I am trying to keep it light. The conversation that is “it isn’t a hotel here” I chuckled “you wouldn’t let me stay at a hotel, so show me to a room. Come on then, you went me out?” she nodded her head “then show me” I gestured, I can tell with the look on her face she doesn’t want to show me to a room, but she also wants me out. Robyn is very much not being her, there is something up with her “if you want me to help you do your bed covers I can?” I offered, I am being nice here “no” so blunt with it too “cool, show me then” I will give her space because I am being too much in her business.
I went downstairs and sat with Mel, she’s having a blunt with me so I will go to where the good stuff is “it’s nice to actually speak to someone, to have that human conversation. I have been missing out on it, between checking on Robyn and then cleaning” frowning a little blowing the smoke out from my lips “make it sound like she is suicidal? It’s throwing me off you know?” I hope she knows that “she is a in a dark place Chris, this is the most she has done. I was happy to see her actually sit with us for food, she is closed off. She is mourning” this is crazy “a breakup? I should be the one feeling it, I am confused” Mel sighed out “sorry, I am speaking too much. I want her to say it to you but it’s the most she has done, honestly” clearing my throat “yeah, her bedsheet got blood on it too? I am like why you sleeping with blood, she covered it and wanted to kick me out. Is Robyn ill? If she is tell me? I am scared here” Mel is scaring me “nigga stop speaking” she laughed “you’re making me speak too much, just stop” this is all so concerning, I don’t like it.
I woke up feeling a little off with things, also I was out smoked by Mel. She smokes so much more then me, Mel and I just ended up speaking on so much and I actually got to know her, and I was beginning to dislike her because with the whole Robyn situation where she seemed to be keeping things away from me but getting to know her, she is just protecting her friend like I would with TJ and Barry. I feel it’s a little pointless being here, it’s like Robyn doesn’t really want me here, it’s awkward I think anyways. What can I do her but just annoy her, I seem to be just annoying her because I don’t think she wants me here at all, but Mel wants me to stay here, she seems so impressed by the simple fact Robyn actually sat down when I said, I don’t know anymore. I am just sat here in the morning pushing around this cereal on my own in this house, like they are all asleep, but I am awake just thinking. I am contemplating on whether to go or not but I promised Mel to not go, there is something up with Robyn clearly but am I helping her or annoying her “not like you to be awake” looking behind me, Robyn is downstairs “yeah” I dragged out “I kind of saw from the cameras, I saw you outside smoking” she is creeping on me “right, so you been awake for a while then?” Robyn came into my eye-view, she hasn’t slept at all “do I look like I slept?” shaking my head “why is your face so puffy?” squinting my eyes “thank you for the compliment” I still love her so much “I look like a ghost, I know. I been thinking, and crying for most part” placing the spoon in the bowl “you know I am here for you right?” she turned away from me “you want me to go or what? Tell me” Robyn dragged open the fridge and grabbed some water “maybe you’re just drinking water and it’s making you puffy, face wise” she sighed out “thank you doctor, I will stop then huh?” she isn’t going to speak to me “then I am going” I said, I ain’t wasting my time here “fine by me” she walked by me, she’s doing it again, but I am not chasing her.
I don’t know how to tell Mel that I am ready to go back to Texas, I have no reason to be here when Robyn is not speaking she is being an ass about it all “so yeah, I am thinking of going back. I am saying that because she isn’t speaking to me, why do I need to be here when she ignored me, what use am I?” Mel groaned out “give her time, just smoke with me and relax for a while” rubbing my face sighing out “how dare you! How fucking dare you make rumours up!” I froze staring at a erratic Robyn all in my face “excuse me?” I said confused “you decided to delete my pictures! Created rumours and now I am on the blogs saying you dumped me! While I have your ugly face on my page” oh she is mad “oh you care then? Excuse me, you started this shit right when you been giggling with ASAP!” I shouted back “fuck you Chris, I don’t want you. I don’t want to see you, get out!” she threw the bear I got her on my lap, she is so abrupt “you want me to stay and deal with that?” I pointed “break her” Mel said, I am confused “huh?” is she real “break her, she is breaking down. Go, just listen to me on this. Go and chase after her, you both need this moment. Break her down” picking the bear from my lap “like just poke at her?” I am confused “follow your heart! Go on” I am scared of Robyn right now; she is so angry.
Looking down at the bear, god help me. Opening her bedroom door, I didn’t bother to knock at all “leave!” Robyn spat, closing the door behind me “well I am not moving, you would never throw son son at me. I deleted your pictures because, I don’t know what you want from me? And anyways here” holding the bear out to her “I don’t want it, fuck you” I sighed out, looking down at the bear in sadness “I love you Robyn, I really do. What you need to understand is that I don’t know what you want me to do, you have been so mean to me but yet I came here for you. Talk to me” I looked up and didn’t expect Robyn to be right in my face “I don’t want to talk to you, just go. And leave! And take that too” staring into her eyes and I can see her, she is so lost, I know my friend and she is in pain “you are in pain right now Robyn, you are hiding yourself but you can’t hide from me because I know you” she shook her head putting her head down, Mel says break her but I can’t she is already broken “let me be here for you, please” I held her hand “no” she strained out “yes, let me be here for you. I love you twin, you know I do” lowering my head to see her face but I can’t see her face, she has it so lowered down “you know I got you” wrapping my arm around her “I am so hurt and lost right” she sniffled “I know you are, talk to me. Tell me” Robyn hooked her arms around my waist, she strained out “I caused this pain, I did it. I don’t think I want to relive it. I am so numb to it” she mumbled “it won’t be anything bad Robyn, talk to me about it come. You can’t do this to yourself, you have so many people that love you and you are pushing them away, I am here for you” moving back from the hug “let’s talk” holding my hand to her, she took and I walked off with her “sit here and I will sit on your vanity chair” these bed covers need to go, I want ask why she isn’t changing these bloody ones, it’s weird but I quickly covered it “sit, and I will sit here” I need to not lose my temper, but when she comes at me I do it back, I want her to just tell me. This shit needs to end, so then things can get back to normal for her.

PLEASE READ
Ok i have no idea how to write beware posts because i haven't had to write one in years. But do not go harassing anyone or going to pm them. Block them and move on. Speed the word but do not interact with them.
If you share this, do not tag it. I want people to see this shared around without using tags. Dont tag bol or use the hashtags. Im serious. This is a very important topic i need people to know.
Alright lets get this shit show started.
Bol The Eye is a russian artist who is primarily on twitter. And she used to do we happy few art then switched to primarily cookie run artwork. I know friends who commissioned her that said she was nice to work with. Granted didn't follow references well. She also is on furafinity under bol the eye. Selling adoptables aimed at cookie run fans as well as furries.
So bol has a a patreon that she advertises on twitter. Which is fine. But she posts nsfw there. You might be confused at the issue here.
Bol drew a nsfw humanized version of the character space doughnut from the game cookie run ovenbreak. I will not post any of the artwork. But she posts "censored previews" on her nsfw twitter.
Both of her twitters below. And no i will not post the art. But space doughnut looks like shes been drawn like a 12 year old. She looks like shes been drawn young.
Now if you don't know space doughnut. Let me tell you about her.
youtube
It was October or November she got an event. It was a sticker coloring book. And youd do tasks to unlock stickers. Then youd make little art pieces to give to her. She gave you rewards based on her reaction. Which is a very child thing to do.
Her relationship chart is also a huge factor in on this. Because space doughnut admires a literal child. Which is implied to be a best friend.
Bol tried to justify the fact she aged up space doughnut to draw porn. She claimed it was "headcanon age" and that "its an alien". Not to mention my friend pmd her on patreon and was essentially threatened over this. Bol made posts about my friend on twitter. I got screenshots before bol thankfully listened to my friend and deleted them.
And people are defending bol mind you. Its not ok. And bol, the reason you are being called out is because headcanons don't mean jack shit when almost everyone can agree its a literal child. And your poll shows there's other pedos who are trying to make it seem like its nothing. Mind you, we all do research before we actually make posts like this. I was keeping this anonymous until you decided to threaten one of my best friends on patreon. I wont post any of the patreon messages due to my friend wanting his privacy. But bol essentially threatened and harassed him over a simple question. It should have stayed in pms but bol blew it the fuck up. How is that ok? Especially for a grown ass adult woman.
I found the space doughnut art preview on her nsfw twitter wayyyy before my friend pmd on patreon. Hell. Bol has an unlocked nsfw twitter and doesn't age check anyone who looks at it. I wont post the comments uncensored but there are people who are saying the photo is hot and all that pedo shit.
And bol said herself that she left tumblr. Can't wait for her to come back on and find my posts. Because this shit has already gone through the cookie run community, furries and we happy few. Granted not everyone, hence this post.
Please be safe and do share this info around. Shes a pedo and this shit isn't welcome anywhere.
Tl;dr- bol the eye ages up minors in cookie run to draw porn of them. She harasses anyone who calls her out. Sent threats to a friend who pmd her.
Be safe out there.
Ill add more later but im fucking drained and i have one hell of a migraine from pulling an all nighter.
And bol, if you find my post here. Leave my friend the fuck alone. You dug yourself into this hole by threatening him instead of politely explaining. I've seen everything on both sides and im disgusted. And now you sure as hell ain't gonna be what you call "the face of cookie run". You are a pedophile who tries to justify your bullshit.
Again. Do not go after bol or her followers. Spread the word around and block her. Thanks for reading.
And i cannot stress enough. My blogs are a safe space. None of those trashy ass fucks allowed.

2, 3, 13 / Lizzie!
questions for muns of canon muses! // @silvcrreaper // accepting
Do you have any controversial headcanons that go against what is generally accepted by the fandom? Do you incorporate this into writing your muse or keep it to yourself?
I imagine I do! I don’t look much into the fandom anymore outside of fanart (you see too much Elizabeth hate, you get real turned off from reading just about anything related to her. the fandom misogyny never dies).
One, my Elizabeth thinks beetles are cute - specifically the ones from the Scarabaeidae family. Her favorites are the ones that are black with a rainbow sheen to their shells and the jewel scarabs. Francis and Edward are absolutely repulsed by this fascination and have done their damndest to deter Elizabeth from it, but Alexis is supportive of it. She has a jewel beetle brooch among her jewelry (Alexis bought this for her on her 12th birthday) that is among her most precious items that’d she’d be devastated over should it go missing.
Ladies aren’t meant to play with bugs, but Elizabeth does and has ever since she was a tot. It’s gotten her teased before by children of her social circles and as a result has made her cry, but she still plays with them, by now having grown a thick skin and (mostly) not caring what anyone says.
Between Her and Ciel, she is the one who captures spiders and takes them outside.
Two, her life should not revolve around Ciel. It’s a terrible habit, it’s a terrible way to be. It’s the Victorian Era so this is simply how she’s raised to be and it’s what’s expected of her. Eventually, I want to have her start growing outside of him and stop fussing over him so much, and start focusing more on herself and developing as a character. She’s beginning this, especially the more I write her with other characters, and I hope to flesh her out as an independent character who, while she loves Ciel, doesn’t have her world revolve around him. His doesn’t revolve around hers, and I’m just not a fan of the girl-character-revolves-around-brooding-boy-who-doesn’t-have-as-much-investment-in-her-as-she-does-in-him dynamic.
This also includes breaking a few social norms expected from females that would irritate Francis, but it’ll be good for her. Claudia’d be proud.
Three, this post is getting too long but there’s others. She’s not exactly as soft and sweet as one would expect, not entirely, anyways. She’s not frightened by things girls are expected to be frightened of. Her mind has a capability that’s more like a cold assassin mode that’d frighten Edward and I know a lot of people wouldn’t be down for that, but! It’s my headcanon, and it’s my Lizzie, so nyeh.
What is something that was never addressed at all in the canon material that you have independently developed for your muse?
We’ve never seen how Elizabeth digested the Campania arc and that bothers me immensely. She’s so young and she just went through one of the (known) darkest events of her life; killing hordes of the undead that tried to devour her, then proceeding to be a witness to the most traumatic sight of a sinking ship and not to mention, hearing the sounds of it. The masses of people screaming for their lives, from pain, from terror, from despair. The loudest groaning and breaking of metal, the snapping sounds of electricity. The sound as the water consumed the Campania.
My Elizabeth has referred to it before, and it was a line that’s so short but honestly one of the saddest I’ve written on my public blogs: “I never knew the ocean could scream.”
She’s a side character so we never get to see how she digests news that comes to her, but this? This is especially just one of the things I really wanted depth with. I wanted her reactions, I wanted to know her feelings after the fact, her thoughts. Canon won’t give it to me, so I’ve crafted it all myself. She definitely has PTSD from watching the ship sink, and she starts shaking uncontrollably when the notion of taking a boat to anywhere is brought up, and she starts to reject everyone erratically who tries to talk her into it, working herself into a fit of pure anxiety and panic. You just.. cannot get her on the sea anymore. It’s not happening, not while she’s conscious.
As for the Bizarre Dolls, that is also something I want to know her thoughts on but it’s all on me to make. AND I WILL DO IT. >:( She’s actually not traumatized from them, which is CONCERNING FOR ME AS HER ROLEPLAYER BUT I WILL GET INTO THAT WHEN I MAKE A HEADCANON POST, but they were definitely a dark chapter I need to cover base with for her, especially seeing as how they’ve remained so integral to the story, and how canonically, she is bound to be wed to one (I highly doubt we’re going to see these kids make it to the ages of marital union, you know both twins are checking out before then - possibly with their keepers, but you know).
What canon character do you really wish your muse could interact more with?
I was thinking about this literally yesterday, but oh my god, I would love for Lizzie to be able to interact with a Soma. They’re two people I’ve wanted to see interact in canon a lot more than they have, but they’ve just never been given the spotlight, which is a damn shame because I feel like they could really, REALLY bond to a deep level - down to becoming best friends. Like, a level where Soma would take Lizzie’s side when it came to Ciel kind of level. They’re both absolutely delightful characters with a lot of similarities, but a lot of differences that’d bounce off each other well! They’d learn from each other (Soma already has a graduated education so him showing Elizabeth the ropes when it comes to learning and being her study partner and teacher?? help?? I love it??)! And because of them bonding, Paula and Agni would wind up bonding, too. That’s just.. 🥺 The thought of those four just having a really tight little social circle together warms my heart, okay?
And god, the way the manga’s done the both of them so damn dirty. They’re precious people who did not deserve to be broken as hard as they have been (it was bound to happen, seeing as they were both characters who wanted to make Ciel happy the most so of course, they’ve been punished the hardest for it). I think right now, ESPECIALLY right now, that bond could be one source of much needed comfort for Soma (given he doesn’t cut her out for being related to Ciel, of course). He has someone on his side. I know he’s going home, but being so deeply bonded to Elizabeth could allow for a great depth in understanding the situation.. but also, exacerbating it. And potentially making things worse. Because he’d find out about the twin situation and you know he’d want to dismantle R!Ciel, and Elizabeth would be shocked about the murder reveal and in her emotional state, things could go EXTREMELY sideways between her, her fiancé and the Undertake.. OK LET’S NOT GET INTO THAT. Although that sort of drama and tension is exactly Kuroshitsuji’s brand.
BASICALLY. SOMA. YES PLEASE. I’D LOVE FOR LIZZIE TO BE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH A SOMA.
I’d also have a ball with her being able to interact with Paula, Sieglinde and Joker. :’)

Sometimes I like to search for my own posts in other sites, especially because my book vs show meta is shared quite a lot. I saw someone share my meta on r/gameofthrones, and without fail, some Sansa stan came to say that I was biased, that I didn’t talk about Dany’s “dark moments” in the books, that show!Dany was actually whitewashed:
Wow. Wow. I am the one that is biased, clearly *sarcasm*. Also notice how this anti doesn’t provide a single book quote to support their wild claims.
“The only reason Dany took Astapor was for an army”
Then why did she free the Unsullied when she didn’t need to? Then why did she delay her invasion of Westeros to stay in Slaver’s Bay freeing slaves? Then why did she refuse Yunkai’s gold, Xaro’s ships, Quentyn’s alliance, all things that would have been given freely to her if she decided to leave, and instead chose to stay to ensure people’s freedom? Also, see this meta:
https://rainhadaenerys.tumblr.com/post/182893726737/tatticstudio55-i-didnt-think-id-have-the#notes
“She was ok with Drogo selling the Lhazareen into slavery, she said it was the price of the Iron Throne”.
Dany was a 14 years old girl who had no experience on war. Antis like to say that Dany convinced Drogo to invade knowing that he was going to enslave people to do it, but this is not an argument supported by the text at all. When Dany asks Drogo to help her take the Seven Kingdoms, no one mentions the need to sell slaves:
The khal's mouth twisted in a frown beneath the droop of his long mustachio. "The stallion who mounts the world has no need of iron chairs."
Dany propped herself on an elbow to look up at him, so tall and magnificent. She loved his hair especially. It had never been cut; he had never known defeat. "It was prophesied that the stallion will ride to the ends of the earth," she said.
"The earth ends at the black salt sea," Drogo answered at once. He wet a cloth in a basin of warm water to wipe the sweat and oil from his skin. "No horse can cross the poison water."
"In the Free Cities, there are ships by the thousand," Dany told him, as she had told him before. "Wooden horses with a hundred legs, that fly across the sea on wings full of wind."
Khal Drogo did not want to hear it. "We will speak no more of wooden horses and iron chairs." He dropped the cloth and began to dress. "This day I will go to the grass and hunt, woman wife," he announced as he shrugged into a painted vest and buckled on a wide belt with heavy medallions of silver, gold, and bronze.
"Yes, my sun-and-stars," Dany said. Drogo would take his bloodriders and ride in search of hrakkar, the great white lion of the plains. If they returned triumphant, her lord husband's joy would be fierce, and he might be willing to hear her out. - Daenerys VI ADWD
That’s it. That’s the moment Dany asks Drogo to help her take the Seven Kingdoms. There’s no mentions of selling slaves at all in their conversation. We don’t even know if Dany is aware or not of what taking the Seven Kingdoms is going to take. Given how young and inexperienced she is, it doesn’t seem like she gave much thought about the ugly aspects of war at all. Besides, it’s only after the wineseller tries to poison Dany that Drogo mentions that he will rape women and enslave children in Westeros, and at this point, Dany doesn’t have much of a say, because Drogo didn’t decide to invade Westeros because Dany asked. He decided to invade Westeros because the lives of wis wife (his property) and his son were threatened. This is an affront to his honor, his decision has nothing to do with pleasing Dany, so if she asks him to give up on invading Westeros, he won’t do it (just like he wouldn’t invade Westeros just because he asked). Dany didn’t seem to be aware of what taking Westeros back with Drogo would take, and after she finds out, she doesn’t really have the power to stop it.
And saying that Dany was ok with enslaving the Lhazareen is a blatant lie:
I am the blood of the dragon, Daenerys Targaryen reminded herself as she turned her face away. She pressed her lips together and hardened her heart and rode on toward the gate.
"Most of Ogo's riders fled," Ser Jorah was saying. "Still, there may be as many as ten thousand captives."
Slaves, Dany thought. Khal Drogo would drive them downriver to one of the towns on Slaver's Bay. She wanted to cry, but she told herself that she must be strong. This is war, this is what it looks like, this is the price of the Iron Throne.
"I've told the khal he ought to make for Meereen," Ser Jorah said. "They'll pay a better price than he'd get from a slaving caravan. Illyrio writes that they had a plague last year, so the brothels are paying double for healthy young girls, and triple for boys under ten. If enough children survive the journey, the gold will buy us all the ships we need, and hire men to sail them."
Behind them, the girl being raped made a heartrending sound, a long sobbing wail that went on and on and on. Dany's hand clenched hard around the reins, and she turned the silver's head. "Make them stop," she commanded Ser Jorah. - Daenerys VII AGOT
Dany has little say in what’s happening here, little agency. She is just the wife of the khal, and what he decides is what happens. This is the very first time Dany is seeing the Dothraki attack anyone (before this, she was just traveling through the Dothraki Sea to Vaes Dothrak). And she is horrified by what she is seeing. Antis love to take the line “this is the price of the Iron Throne” out of context, but looking at the context in which the line is said tells us a very different story: when Dany says "this is war, this is the price of the Iron Throne", she's not saying it because she's ok with slavery. Quite the opposite: she hates what she's seeing, and she says this to convince herself that she doesn't care, to tell herself to be strong. But it doesn't work, Dany can't look past the awful things that she is seeing, and only two paragraphs later, she starts trying to save as many women as she can, in the only way she can: by claiming those women for herself.
By the way, Dany puts herself at a huge risk by trying to protect those women, because she is defying Drogo’s men. When her khas goes to enforce her order, the Dothraki fight, and some men die trying to defend their rights to the spoils of war. Many of the men look at her with cold eyes. These men try to complain to the khal about this, and when Drogo dies and Dany loses the protection of his authority, Dany is in grave danger.

“Dany was murdering children in Astapor”
This is just bad reading comprehension, or this person is trying to distort things. Dany didn’t order the killing of children. She ordered only masters and soldiers to be killed, those actively fighting against her to keep slavery. She tell them not to harm any child below 12 to avoid the Unsullied killing innocents. Also, saying “don’t kill anyone under 12″ is not the same thing as saying “kill everyone over 12″, stupid anti.
Also, see this meta:
https://rainhadaenerys.tumblr.com/post/184630644137/hi-i-really-enjoy-your-blog-and-your-meta-i#notes
“Dany didn’t want the entire caravan from Astapor and Yunkai to follow her”
That’s a really dishonest distortion of the facts. This is what Dany actually says:
The raggle-taggle host of freedmen dwarfed her own, but they were more burden than benefit. Perhaps one in a hundred had a donkey, a camel, or an ox; most carried weapons looted from some slaver's armory, but only one in ten was strong enough to fight, and none was trained. They ate the land bare as they passed, like locusts in sandals. Yet Dany could not bring herself to abandon them as Ser Jorah and her bloodriders urged. I told them they were free. I cannot tell them now they are not free to join me. She gazed at the smoke rising from their cookfires and swallowed a sigh. She might have the best footsoldiers in the world, but she also had the worst. - Daenerys IV ASOS
Dany says that the freedmen are a burden. She is simply stating a fact, the freedmen are a burden. But she refuses to abandon them as her advisors urged, because she freaking cares about them, you idiot.
“The pile of bodies was high when she took Meereen”
Of course the pile of bodies was high! A battle to take the city just happened! Usually, when there’s a battle, people die, and there are bodies. I guess this idiot must think that Jon and Robb won all of their battles without killing a single soul. Let’s just pretend that none of Robb’s victories had any pile of bodies. Like, wow. What kind of argument even was this?
“They don’t talk about the torturing of the wineseller’s daughter”
Another blatantly lie. I do talk about the torture of the wineseller’s daughters in my books vs show meta, let me quote what I wrote here:
4) Then, after Dany executes Mossador in the name of a fair trial, she decides to throw “fair trial” out of the window by feeding one of the slavers to her dragons for revenge. This is something that never happens in the books. The closest we have to a problematic action like this is when Dany allows the wineseller’s daughters to be tortured. But this isn’t anywhere near as dark as feeding people to her dragons, for various reasons: 1) because Dany’s actions in the books are inserted in a context in which torture is seen as a normal and legitimate means of investigation by the society. Dany is not the only one that does this, and even honorable Jon Snow considers throwing Janos Slynt in an ice cell to force him to comply, and later throws Cregan Karstark in one. So Dany’s actions in the books are lawful, while in the show, they are not; 2) because Dany was trying to investigate. She was angry about what happened, but revenge was not the only motivation; 3) in the books, Dany learns a lesson from this and becomes the only ruler in ASOIAF to explicitly forbid torture.
Another thing that makes the dragon feeding scene so bad is that Dany tells the masters that she doesn’t care who’s innocent or not. But book Daenerys does care about it:
“We have no proof this is their work. Would you have me slaughter my own subjects?” – Daenerys IV ADWD
Feeding people to her dragons in the show was a criminal action taken by show Dany, and it was made out of revenge, with show Dany saying that she doesn’t care about innocence. This is very different from Dany in the books, and much much darker.
“They don’t talk about Dany enslaving people once she becomes queen”
I don’t talk about this because this never happened. Dany does allow people to sell themselves back into slavery, but only if they want to, and she very clearly doesn’t want to allow it:
Dany was shocked. “They want to be slaves?”
“The ones who come are well spoken and gently born, sweet queen. Such slaves are prized. In the Free Cities they will be tutors, scribes, bed slaves, even healers and priests. They will sleep in soft beds, eat rich foods, and dwell in manses. Here they have lost all, and live in fear and squalor.”
“I see.” Perhaps it was not so shocking, if these tales of Astapor were true. Dany thought a moment. “Any man who wishes to sell himself into slavery may do so. Or woman.” She raised a hand. “But they may not sell their children, nor a man his wife.” - Daenerys VI ASOS
Dany does this because she thinks it’s for the best. Because people convince her that otherwise, those people will live in fear and squalor. But she makes it very clear that no one is allowed to force another person into slavery. And actually, the majority of the former slaves choose to remain free. I write in more detail about this here:
https://rainhadaenerys.tumblr.com/post/182694132667/do-the-slaves-of-westeros-really-want-danys-help#notes
“They don’t talk about how Dany treated Irri”
You mean how Irri started to have sex with Dany on her own free will without Dany ever asking her? You mean how Dany treats Irri wih dignity, respects her consent, and makes it very clear to Irri that she doesn’t have to have sex with her if she doesn’t want it?
"Should I pleasure the khaleesi?"Dany stepped away from her. "No. Irri, you do not need to do that. What happened that night, when you woke . . . you're no bed slave, I freed you, remember? You . . ." - Daenerys II ASOS
Talk all you want about power difference, but Dany respected Irri’s consent, she treated her with dignity.

And they continued on their bullshit:
They repeat a lot of the stuff I already refuted here, but there are some more:
“Jorah killed Rhaego, not MMD”
Mirri Maz Duur admits she killed Rhaego when Dany accuses her:
Dany gestured at Ser Jorah and the others. "Leave us. I would speak with this maegi alone." Mormont and the Dothraki withdrew. "You knew," Dany said when they were gone. She ached, inside and out, but her fury gave her strength. "You knew what I was buying, and you knew the price, and yet you let me pay it."
"It was wrong of them to burn my temple," the heavy, flat-nosed woman said placidly. "That angered the Great Shepherd."
"This was no god's work," Dany said coldly. If I look back I am lost. "You cheated me. You murdered my child within me."
"The stallion who mounts the world will burn no cities now. His khalasar shall trample no nations into dust." - Daenerys IX AGOT
MMD killed an innocent child for revenge, and to prevent a supposed future. She admits it.
"She said to kill everyone in a tokar, this is every freeborn”
No, the tokar is not worn by every freeborn. The tokar is a master’s garment, and it makes it impossible to work. Those who wore it are only those who have the wealth and power and don’t have to work, aka, the freaking slave masters:
The garment was a clumsy thing, a long loose shapeless sheet that had to be wound around her hips and under an arm and over a shoulder, its dangling fringes carefully layered and displayed. Wound too loose, it was like to fall off; wound too tight, it would tangle, trip, and bind. Even wound properly, the tokar required its wearer to hold it in place with the left hand. Walking in a tokar demanded small, mincing steps and exquisite balance, lest one tread upon those heavy trailing fringes. It was not a garment meant for any man who had to work. The tokar was a master's garment, a sign of wealth and power. - Daenerys I ADWD
Ugh. Then they went on:
Again, this freaking obsession antis have to convince people that they loooooove Daenerys. I could go on refuting this idiot, but it can be summed up in “You Dany stans can’t see things objectively, I’m the only one that uses logic, blah, blah, blah”. They go on to complain that Dany killed soldiers (none of their faves ever killed soldiers, right?), to say that Dany killed slaves and freed people (no, she didn’t), that you can’t see things in black and white and divide the situation into slavers and slaves (I guess they’re trying to say that Dany is bad for killing some supposedly nice slavers), blah, blah blah.
Sorry if I went off, everyone. This made me really angry. Apparently, I’m the biased one that distorts things, and not this idiot.

Hey! so I have this idea where bucky is in a desperate need of a haircut and someone forces him to go to a hairdressers (bcos hydra probably doesn’t have a stylist) and he goes reluctantly and falls for the hairdresser (the reader) :) it’s just a suggestion! ok ily 🥺💓
Hey there! Thank you for the great prompt! ♥ I’m really sorry it took forever (like 2 months or more) but for a while I was unable to deal with this blog. :( I really wish you weren’t anon, so I could properly tag you! I really hope that you’ll see it nonetheless and I hope you’ll like it if you do. I modified it a little and it’s Sam who's prompting Bucky into getting a hairstyle. :)

“You need a haircut,” abruptly Sam said while reading his magazine.
Bucky put his ice-cream down. “No.”
Sam looked over his sunglasses. “No?”
They were sitting on a bench at the local park pretending to be two ordinary dudes while they were doing undercover work. Sam was pretending to be interested in a sports magazine while Bucky was enjoying a vanilla ice-cream.
“No,” Bucky repeated with an even tone and continued licking his ice-cream. “Man bun, it’s modern. Look around you. I’m cool,” he was convinced.
Sam’s eyes wandered around and saw two guys with longer hair that was held up in a bun. He winced.
“What do you care of being cool?” Sam asked.
“Why can’t I be?” Bucky was about to lick his ice-cream when the sudden wind brought part of his hair upon it.
“Hm,” Sam chuckled and unceremoniously continued reading his magazine.
“I don’t need a haircut,” Bucky was insistent while cleaning his fallen strand of hair.
“I’m sorry but you missed a target behind the rifle because the wind blew part of your hair in front of your face,” Sam reproached. “A target which we were chasing for months and which got away right under our noses,” he seemed irritated.
“I spent most of my life as The Winter Soldier with longer hair and fulfilled all of my missions!”
“Except that your hair now is much longer than then,” Sam barely held it in. “It’s getting ridiculous. You’re blocking the drain in the bathroom. It’s like I’m living with a woman!” Sam exclaimed. “And the other day I found a hair of yours in my pants! I don’t even want to know how it got there!”
Bucky was looking at Sam grumpily. “Is that your problem? That men can’t have long hairs, only women?”
“That’s not what I’m saying. But if you complain one more time that you need a moment to fix your hair from a bun to let it down, so you can put on a helmet for the mission I swear I’ll punch you in the nuts if they are still there!”
Bucky sighed annoyed. “I don’t mind it.”
“I do,” Sam fired. “Everyone else does.”
“They don’t understand fashion.”
“And you do?”
“Of course,” Bucky barely replied as that same strand of hair ferociously tickled his face due to the wind. He literally slapped himself trying to get rid of it.
“Alright, we’re going to the hairdressers,” Sam stood up.
“Um, we’re on a mission.”
“Base, there doesn’t seem to be any irregular activity at Jackson Park,” Sam spoke in his communication device.
“Roger that, Wilson. Hold on a moment,” a voice on the other side uttered. “You are free to go,” the same men added after a few seconds pause to consult with the commander.
“This is unprofessional,” Bucky protested. “I wouldn’t say our mission is over.”
“The vanilla in your hair kind of says it.”
The wind had released more hair from Bucky’s bun which had landed upon his ice-cream.
“You are in a desperate need of a haircut,” Sam said firmly.
“Why?” Bucky demanded a good reason.
“Because, Barnes, you cannot handle long hair. Admit it. Whether you look cool or not, you’re not made for maintaining long hair. Look at your split ends! It’s a disgrace!”
Bucky looked offended. He didn’t want to cut his hair but he yielded under Sam’s pressure, so shortly after they found themselves in the nearest hairdresser’s salon.
**
You heard the door opening and looked at the direction expecting to see Mrs. Jones who had an appointment soon. Instead you saw two burly men trying really hard to look cool and natural.
“Hello, may I help you?” you asked them.
“Hi, yes,” one of them replied. “My friend here needs a haircut. Could you help with that?”
Your eyes moved to the man pointed. You couldn’t help noticing he was staring at you with his eyes wide opened.
“Is he alright?” you asked feeling a little uncomfortable.
“Bucky?” the man asked after noticing his friend. “Hello, Bucky?” he waved his hand in front of him.
Suddenly, Bucky looked at him shocked. “Sam, I forgot how to do this.”
“Do what?” Sam was confused.
“I’ll leave you two for whatever there is to… you know,” you said turning around. “I’ll be over there if after all there’ll be a haircut.”
“Bucky, are you alright?” Sam asked concerned.
“I forgot how to talk to pretty women,” Bucky muttered. “And I was so good at it.”
Sam giggled. “Wow, really?”
“Yes!” Bucky was offended. “I was a real beast before the fall! I’d just got to a woman, curve my smile and say ‘hello, doll’ and they’d fall for me.”
“And you can’t do that now?”
“I don’t know… I’m not… I’m not the same person as before. I feel like it wouldn’t work out now.”
“And why is that?”
“I don’t know that women like nowadays.”
“Man bun maybe?” Sam teased him.
You approached the two strangers. “Okay, so my client just called to cancel her appointment due to personal reason, so you’re lucky. I can take you now.”
“Perfect,” the companion seemed very happy about it.
“Okay, follow me here.”
You stood behind the chair and waited for your client. A few seconds later you turned around only to find him motionless still staring at you.
“Bucky, sit on the chair,” the companion quietly said to his friend.
No reaction.
“Barnes!” he yelled.
“Huh?” the other man finally moved his eyes from you.
“The chair! Sit on it! Haircut! Now!”
You observed the two men. There was something widely ridiculous about them.
Sam grabbed Bucky’s right arm and dragged him to the chair.
“Excuse us, ma’am, he recently hit his head and is still recovering,” said the companion.
“No, I didn’t,” your client protested.
“He doesn’t remember,” he smiled at you. “I’ll sit over there until you are done with my friend over here.”
You took a deep breath thinking your next 15 minutes might be amusing. You also observed the man had part of his hair up, so you reached your hands forward to undo his bun. You suddenly stopped.
“Is that ice-cream in your hair?” you needed to ask.
“Vanilla,” the companion uttered from across the salon.
“It’s windy outside!” your client exclaimed.
“Well, you didn’t do your bun very well, so it couldn’t hold your hair well,” you lectured him.
“Hm,” the companion chuckled.
You didn’t know what that was supposed to mean, so you just walked to the shower system.
“Come here, I need to wash your hair first,” you told your client.
He stared at you for a moment again and then cautiously approached you. After he made himself comfortable you undid his bun and turned on the water.
“How’s that?” you asked him.
“How’s what?” he seemed confused.
“The water,” you replied. “Is it warm enough?”
“You’re perfect,” abruptly the man said. “Oh… um… I mean, um… I meant it is perfect… the water… yes, um… the water is perfect,” he was stammering.
You couldn’t help noticing the way his companion was barely holding his hysterical laughter. You ignored both of them and washed his hair with shampoo. For a moment everyone was silent.
“So who are you?” suddenly, you asked.
“Sorry?” your client asked.
“Who are you? Your name? I like getting to know the person whose hair I’m cutting.”
The man froze in terror. You felt really uncomfortable asking that question. You thought he was a second away to stand up and walk out of your salon.
“Anyway,” you didn’t want to lose your client. “I’ll just wash off the shampoo and we can move to the cutting part.”
He seemed relieved that you didn’t ask more. You wondered what was so secret about him. You couldn’t deny it made you a little excited. He was nonetheless an attractive man.
“And we’re done here,” you wiped your hands and told him to sit in the chair.
You quickly glance at his companion. He was deeply gone into a magazine.
“So how short do you want it?” you asked your client.
“I don’t know,” he replied. “Sam?”
“Hm?” the companion replied distracted.
“How short should my hair be?”
“As short as possible,” was the answer.
You remained motionless for a few seconds thinking that probably those two men were a couple. What a shame, he was quite handsome.
“I can shave it if you like,” you said.
The man looked at you in the mirror and you felt your knees weakening. He had the most beautiful blue eyes you’d ever seen.
“How do you think it would look best?” he suddenly asked you.
“Oh, um…” now you were stuttering. “You know… like…” you were twisting your hands in the air trying to explain unable to find words.
“That sounds great,” he replied with a smile that took your breath away.
You looked away, so you could pull yourself together to do your work.
“Are you alright?” he asked you turning towards you.
“Yes,” you replied sounding as convincing as possible. “I just need those scissors,” you said as you took them. You didn’t need them at all.
The man turned towards the mirror again still observing you with his sparkling blue eyes. You noticed your hands were slightly shaking from excitement. How were you to operate like this?
You took a deep breath and reached your arms forward. With unsteady hands you approached your client’s hair.
“Please, don’t behead him,” suddenly his companion said.
You jumped startled towards him with a quiet whimper. Your breathing and heartbeat got irregular.
The man looked at you strangely. “Are you alright? Are you competent for the job? I do need him whole.”
You took a deep breath and pulled yourself together. You were more than certain that these two men were dating, so you took your most handsome and intriguing client as nothing more than that – just another client.
You completely excluded the companion’s existence from the salon and didn’t look at your client in the mirror for a single moment. All you saw from him was his horrible hair while you were taking care of it.
Due to this you didn’t notice that the companion sank into the magazine again and you didn’t even realize that he spent a good deal of time laughing over some funny article. But you also didn’t feel the glimmering blue eyes that didn’t move from your face even for a second.
The only time that you looked forward and into the mirror was to check the work you’ve done and what was your client’s opinion.
“Well, how is it?” you asked indifferent but still eager. You loved getting feedback from your clients.
The companion also looked up from his magazine. He needed to give a check, as well.
But your client’s eyes were still fixed on you. As if his reflection didn’t exist in front of him.
“He looks great,” the companion uttered throwing the magazine aside with such indifference like he didn’t just enjoy it for 15 minutes. He got up and walked towards you two. “It makes my eyes watery seeing the long hair is gone,” he sounded genuine.
You smiled warmly. “I’m sure it was bothering you.”
“Girl, you have no idea,” he replied. “It really pissed me off.”
“Yeah, I kind of know what you mean,” you continued. “My ex-boyfriend had a really big problem. It got everywhere. Even when I had my hair up somehow always there was at least 1 hair that was free to tickle him in the face. He used to scream ‘I’ll never make out with you ever again’ and I laughed and laughed because usually 2 seconds later he grabbed me again,” you giggled remembering of your ex.
“Make out?” the man seemed confused and slightly surprised. “We don’t make out.”
“Oh?” you felt awkward. Probably you shouldn’t have said that. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to-”
“We no gay!” he felt the need to clarify as soon as possible.
“Oh?” you felt even more awkward and embarrassed. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you or anything. You just seemed… well, you were telling him what to do like one partner would do to another and-”
“That’s because he’s an idiot.”
You looked at your client to see his reaction but he remained motionless the whole time still staring at you.
“Oh, right…,” you said insecurely. “The head trauma,” you whispered.
“No. I’m afraid is by birth,” he looked at your client and snapped his fingers at his face. “Come on, Bucky. Pay the good lady for her work and let’s go home.”
The man in the chair jumped startled at the sudden sound next to his head. It’s like he snapped out of trance.
“Bucky?” you asked with a smile. So that was his name.
He looked back at the mirror. This time you were looking there as well. The sudden discovery that he was not gay brought your spirits up. Now you looked like an idiot as well.
“I’m out,” suddenly the companion said. Then he leaned towards Bucky and whispered. “Do what you gotta do, tiger. If you need the apartment tonight just give a call in advance,” then he stood up and gave you small bow with his head. “Good day, ma’am,” he added and left your salon.
You looked back in the mirror into Bucky’s eyes. “Wanna get out of here as well? There’s a nice restaurant near?”
He smiled at you. Inside his head he cheered ‘I still got it’.

Thoughts on a DW Rewatch & Mass Effect replay.
So I’m in the Eleven / Clara half-season now.
Also I’m now replaying Andromeda. I have thoughts, about both. I’ll start with Doctor Who then label it when I get to Mass Effect stuff.
Oh my God this gets long and rambly. Apparently, I have a lot of thoughts.
So, season 702... I’m ready for it to be over. I miss the Ponds. I felt like most of the first half of this season was pretty great, honestly. I’d forgotten how fun some of those episodes were, I think at the time we were anticipating a new companion so heavily that it was harder to appreciate those episodes? I feel like there was a lot of criticism levied towards them that now I felt like was a bit too much. The western episode was kinda meh but still not bad.
I’m not sure what exactly it is about these Clara / Eleven episodes that I’m still not connecting with but I’m in the middle of the Crimson Horror episode (which is a Vastra/Jenny/Strax heavy episode and enjoying it more than anything else so far this half-season.
*edit later* NOPE NOPE NOPE I’D FORGOTTEN HOW THE DOCTOR FORCES A KISS ON JENNY. GROSS. SUPER GROSS. SHE’S A MARRIED WOMAN, A LESBIAN AND DID NOT CONSENT TO ANY OF THIS. BAD DOCTOR, BAD.
Honestly even with some excellent guest start acting, the Russian Submarine episode was STILL a slog and the ghosts in the 1950′s episode no better. Like they still weren’t ridiculous and unwatchable but... just didn’t feel fun or interesting at all? The Journey to the Center of the TARDIS episode was decent, and I felt like that wasn’t nearly as cool as it should have been..
I remember reading a criticism of these episodes early on where they said that the biggest fault is that they failed to give Clara any real characterization or solid personality other than “girl the Doctor is obsessed with”. She’s SUPER IMPORTANT but not only do we not know why at this point but it really doesn’t feel... earned? I don’t recall it ever feeling earned that Clara was supposedly always so important? “The most importantest companion EVAR!”
And as someone who stanned the hell out of a character who was hated in the fandom for “replacing” a previous companion I’m checking myself to make sure it’s still not because I Miss the Ponds. Like, I don’t HATE Clara, I just, at least at this point in the rewatch, can’t find any reason to really LOVE her? She’s there, she’s fine, Jenna-Louise Coleman is doing a great job with what they’re giving to her but... I don’t know. It all feels... off.
I had forgotten all about the “the Doctor rides a motorcycle up the side of a skyscraper” moment and something hit me in that moment that made me remember that wow people hated that moment. It felt really... shark-jumpy somehow.
I love Eleven, but this half-season isn’t connecting with me, AT ALL. It feels like the writers just went and dug through a bunch of rejected script ideas, polished them up and were likle “let’s just do this until Matt Smith is gone.” I’m anxious to get to Twelve.
Mass Effect Stuff
OK TECHNICALLY I haven’t finished ME3. I still need to do the party and the goodbye scene, (Citadel Epiloge Mod installed) but I’ve gotten all the Stuff and done all the missions in the arena. I just wasn’t quite ready to say goodbye yet, so I started Andromeda a bit early.
-----------------
OK look I had a point I wanted to make and never quite got where I wanted to go with it right here. I’m too tired of trying to fix it, so this stands as written.
This playthrough had me ruminating a lot on Kaidan and Garrus. I really love both of those characters, though in my heart I’ll always primarily love Kaidan, I’ve done the Garrus romance and wouldn’t mind playing that character again to see the romance one more time. In ME1, I bring Kaidan everywhere all the time, and pick which other companion I bring to the story-based missions based on what I know is gonna happen like I’m sure most people do. Wrex for Therum, Tali for Feros (though I REALLY wish you could switch before going to see the Thorian), Liara for Noveria, Ashley on Virmire, Garrus for Ilos/Endgame. I rotate through all five for sidemissions.
In ME2, Garrus is my always-bring companion, with Garrus + Miranda being my favorite team. Except after the Omega relay, where characters with Throw really shine with all those husks running at us, Jack holds the bubble, and Miranda and Thane, who both have Warp to help take down the Reaper Baby, are the preferred team. Also so Miranda can tell TIM to fuck off.
Then in ME3, once the game opens up, Garrus is back on the perma-team, with a preference towards bringing Liara along... until we get Kaidan back. And then I realized I didn’t bring him to a single thing except a side mission or two until Earth. Mostly, this is because I’m following the Kaidan Banter guide and it turns out Garrus is a real banter hog for most of the missions. At leat he’s not James, who I literally never use unless I’m going on an N7 mission and feel bad that I haven’t taken him off the Normandy in awhile. I mean, even Javik gets more play. Also EDI doesnt leave the Normandy til near the end when all of a sudden she gets real important.
But Garrus is always on the team for Priority Earth. And that always felt like the way the main game should end, with your two favorites. (Also what kind of monster wouldn’t bring Wrex to the combat-centric areas of Citadel DLC? I keep thinking I should have runs where I bring other people but... Wrex is my other fave and we don’t get him with us AT ALL since ME1.)
I love Garrus, so much. And I was thinking with this whole parallel DW rewatch / Mass Effect replay think I’m doing right now how both Rose Tyler and Garrus Vakaraian are characters that were ruined for me for awhile due to their respective... overly enthusiastic fanbases who a small percentage of were dicks to people who loved other characters. The Kaidan tag (and from what I understand Thane got some of this too, but not nearly as bad) was a pretty hostile place for awhile (and yeah I used to check the Garrus tag too and there was a small amount of tag-invasion there but uh, like 5% of what the Kaidan tag got) which made loving the character of Garrus a lot harder for awhile. But when actually watching seasons 1 & 2 / the end of 4 of DW, or actually playing the games, those characters are awesome.
Fanbases can be amazing or terrible, and time and time again I think you start to realize that no matter how great a fandom is, there are going to be a few people who can only enjoy themselves by feeding on drama, or on lifting up what they love by stomping on other people/characters/plotlines. Going back through my blog reminded me that even the TAH fandom had some of this, with a small percentage of fans being real dicks to two prominent female characters in favor of their favorite ship, which soured even that just a tiny bit.
It’s not fair to characterize everyone who loves a popular thing as someone who does this. It’s also hard to avoid completely because there will always be jerks, or young/new people who don’t realize what bad form they’re showing. I did learn by trying to fight it for a year or two, that responding might help that one person not do it again, but it’s not going to stop overall. Maybe yelling a lot about Martha Jones did change some people’s minds. It still isn’t that good of a look now, even knowing that in general I was pretty polite and logical about it. I might respond to an odd comment now and again in some favorite character tags, but in general, turns out that kind of fight just isn’t worth it.
And those fights seem so stupid in the light of everything else happening in the world today.
Anyway, don’t be a dick about the things you don’t like.
-----------------------
I also wanted to say, and I know I said it in a few other posts about this ME3 playthrough, but seriously I cannot believe how much ME3 is a changed game because of the modders. I cannot imagine ever playing ME3 again without these mods. There were so many small things that I kept thinking I should take note of to talk about and I’m sure I forgot 90% of them, but there’s things like... adding in mentions of the Andromeda Initiative, closing a few plotholes, mentioning Emily Wong, adding in many more Spectre console options which end up having their own plotlines, adding in an entire plotline about the VI civilization that had previously only been talked about in like, social media or Cerberus News Network posts, having the Normandy be so much more populated, seeing so many more other species on the Citadel with more variety in clothing for those species that have clothing / could have more variety, way more female Turians.... every time I play ME3 the game is more and more like the game we wanted when it came out.
I am kind of itching to go back and replay it even now.
But hey, instead, its time to talk about Andromeda.
-------------------------
So first of all, yes, mods for Andromeda. A few appearance mods, a lot of convenience mods.
After having recently played DA:I and I think Andromeda and DA:I are a lot more similar than Andromeda and the previous trilogy, I had decided it was time to cut down on the stupid stuff Andromeda does, like “Oh, you want minerals? Spend 10 minutes in each mining zone finding the PERFECT place to gather materials or you’re fucked” No, thanks. I’ll mine but give me that “one probe placed anywhere and you’re done” mod.
Make the modifications and crafting materials I use actually matter. 2% damage increase is nothing. Make my squadmates not suck because I remember doing 90% of the work myself before and that got exhausting with the number of spawns.
I tried to not go overboard so things feel like cheating, but there’s enough out there to just get rid of the stupid stuff, and it’s nice. And works together a lot easier than the DA:I mods did.
One thing I did do was install the Multiple Romance Mod. I enjoyed it in DA:I, even though ultimately I only did 2 full romances. I am **NOT** romancing Gil or Cora with the mod, I just wanted to experience all the content available for female Ryders at once, since I’m not going to have the energy to replay this 100+ hour game enough times to see every romance on its own. So I am poly-romancing Liam, Jaal, Vetra, Suvi, Peebee, Keri, and if it lets me, Reyes when it’s time.
I’ve only gotten all the way through Andromeda once (where I romanced Liam) My second playthrough was right after my first and stalled out about halfway through (was romancing Jaal.) It was one of those “I’m totally gonna get back to this! (She didn’t.)” things. I’m gonna be honest, I enjoyed the Liam romance and was enjoying the Jaal romance, I’d done a fling with Reyes but not the full romance my first time through and the fling with PeeBee on my second. Reyes was probably my favorite out of all of them. So this time I decided.. let’s see which I love the most, all at once. I don’t know if I’ll do this in the future, but this game is too long to not see all the content I wanna see, TBH.
And you know, I still really do like Andromeda. It’s a GOOD game. And I’m forever going to be mad that we’re not going to see how this story ends. This story deserved to finish being told. Like, there are a lot of very legit criticisms about Andromeda, but it didn’t deserve the harshness it got. And the worst thing about it, and DA:I both is that... there’s just a little TOO MUCH of it. 100 hours is an amazing amount of game but... it’s also just too much. For now I’m not trying to 100% this playthrough. My plan is on each planet to get the planet to 100%, take out the Kett or whatever major base, the Remnant Architect, and yeah probably clear out the sidequests that show up on the map, but fuck quests that are like “visit random Kett camps until you find the right datapads that don’t show up on the map!” or “scan random blobs in the forest that don’t show up on the map!”
So like, do the content, not the filler.
I still hate the vaults. The first one is cool. The rest are tedious. But they’re mandatory.
I love everyone on this spaceship though. They did the Tempest stuff SO WELL. All the companions I think are... good? There’s no one I don’t like, even the non-squadmate shipmates ship have so much interaction and so much to do/say. It’s not like “a bunch of randos and Joker, with occasional appearances by Chakwas and the Engineers” There’s no randos, it’s just a few people you have real interactions with, and its great.
The lack of enough beds in the bedroom will never not annoy me. There’s 4 beds for... Lexi, Liam, Cora, Suvi, Kallo, Vetra and Gil? Even if Liam slept on his couch, and Vetra put a bed in her supply room... still doesn’t add up. What, do Salarains not sleep or something? Does Lexi sleep in a medical bed?!? Peebee sleeps in the escape pod, Jaal brings a bed with him, and Drack’s like “Eh I’ll just sleep in the kitchen”. WHAT? THE KITCHEN?
I mean sure there weren’t enough beds, even with the sleeper pods, on the Normandy either, but somehow that was less disturbing.
Also, I know you’re supposed to HATE Director Tann but I love Kumail Nanjiani so I find it hard to be a total dick to him, even if he usually deserves it. If he wasn’t an anti-Krogan racist I think it’d be easier to like him. He was thrown into a pretty shitty situation and... did actually hold things together for some time. He’s not doing anything out of malice. He’s a dick, but also doing what he needs to do to keep the Initiatiave going. Oh, except for being a anti-krogan racist. (Honestly, I also think “until he turned Cerberus Udina was just doing his job pretty well” too, so...)
Taking some screenshots as I go. I mostly just take screenshots for me now. I have a few thousands screenshots from a dozen or more games rotating through my desktop background, and I keep adding to it, and love it.
Anyway, I’ve gotten Eos, Voeld and Havral to 100%. Time to go save the Moeshe. I’m having fun.
*edit from later* I’d forgotten that... idk if the dialog they recorded for Jaal was the first thing they recorded for him or they used a different VA or what but on the Save the Moshe mission his voice is VERY DIFFERENT and oh man, that is still bad.
Might take a break for when Onslaught comes out for SWTOR, though. I haven’t really played SWTOR in months. Oops.

Unpopular Opinions as Told by Mary
🔥
Ummmm Daenerys’ dragons look really fuckin stupid. Yeah. Sorry. This one isn’t going to be super in depth or really even justified by any arguments. I respect the Game of Thrones developers for going for it, and like the execution of it graphics wise is actually really impressive given its a TV show and all, but the model is so bad. Did GRRM make it? I really fucking hope not. From a distance when I see them in shots I’m like “yo cool” and then I see their faces and they look so stupid to me and it just ruins it. I’m really picky about dragons so this probably doesn’t come as a surprise.
Also side rant, why is it so popular to give dragons a weird bottom jaw where it like, protrudes. They did it with Smaug and to a lesser extent they do it with Dany’s dragons. What the fuck is that modeled after? It’s not a snake. It’s not crocodilians. The only thing I can think is maybe some species of monitor lizards? And I’m only granting that bc I really don’t know due to the fact that there are a lot of monitor lizard species. Including this dope one that I’ve modeled dragons after on my dragon blog.
I guess what drives me nuts is like I feel like there’s no originality in the design. I haven’t read Dany’s parts in the books but from what I have been told at least the coloration is more intense. There are so many species of reptiles, real and extinct, that they could have pulled from to make something that looked really cool…but they didn’t.
🔥
The words “alpha wolf” need to die in a fire. And I’m not trying to come at some of the people I know follow me that use that term. It’s just become this really huge thing that infects so much of lore that has to do with modern day werewolves (such as in The Originals) and even bleeds over into things like the Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire fandom and just about anywhere you see wolves you eventually hear the term alpha.
The term in and of itself is annoying because it’s not a thing that exists. Wolves don’t live in a pack where they just automatically submit to the strongest wolf, nor do they live in social structures that cause them to battle with one another to see who is on top. Wolves live in family groups usually run by the breeding pair and the offspring of the last few years. The only reason we ever really thought that “alpha wolf” was a thing was because a couple of researchers massively popularized its usage after studying primarily (in fact I think it was exclusively) captive wolf packs where individuals were brought in from various places in the world and forced to live together. And while I’m not saying that all studies should be thrown out if they’re done on captive bred wolves, I think it’s poor practice to say “this is how all wolves are” when you haven’t taken into consideration what natural family groups do.
So it’s annoying, because it’s not a thing, but it’s also—-really boring to me. We miss the fact that these incredible animals have evolved to have things like a sense of fairness and the ability to cooperate, but the thing that we focus on is that “this is the alpha and its very important to them.” Family is important to them. I’d love to see more media that involved wolves that represented not only how their family groups actually work, but also didn’t make that such a central point for their plots.
I’m not going to go into uses of the term outside of fiction or address the A/B/O fanfiction. My point is that I personally as a reader find it overused and boring. I understand that since its fiction, there will be inaccuracies in order to fit your narrative. Hell, I have some with Beck and the animals that pop up on this blog. My problem isn’t the inaccuracy alone, it’s the inaccuracy being used to beat a long dead horse (and occasionally as a method of god modding but—I won’t go further into that either).
🔥
And since I’m just going all in on the GoT shit tonight (sorry guys) Also this is going to make an already very long post massive, and I’m sorry.
… Yara Greyjoy is actually a good character and her book counterpart isn’t nicer nor is she just “better” for some vague undefined reason. She’s not a perfect character, she’s not a necessarily nice person, but Yara Greyjoy is arguably one of the better characters on the show IMO and I wish that she would have gotten way more screen time than she really did.
The worst part of this weird like #notmyAsha argument (and I’ve seen that tag used before it was hilarious) is that people complain that she’s not nice to Theon and that because she either doesn’t have or cannot convey compassion and empathy regarding his trauma, that it’s somehow a valid plot point for her to be tortured so they can bond over mutual trauma. This is gross and I hate it.
Full disclosure Theon Greyjoy is one of my favorite characters in show and book canon, but he is kind of a garbage human being and I love him in spite and often because of that. Now onto our feature presentation:
Yara Greyjoy doesn’t owe her brother shit. Not even a little. She has zero reason to do anything other than perceive him as unstable and a threat to the position she hopes to claim. Don’t complain to me about how mean Yara is to Theon while simultaneously ignoring the fact that he only stopped treating her like garbage once he’d been horribly traumatized. He was TEN when he was taken from the Iron Islands, and she was older than him and he—didn’t recognize her. So yeah she manipulates him, but he could have very easily put a stop to it if he remembered her or if he just wasn’t such a horny prick in general. He tries to demean her in front of their father, insults her, and shouts at her. Not saying she didn’t deserve it, but you can’t exactly paint him as the saint in the situation either.
I could go on with a million reasons Yara is actually a lot nicer to Theon in the show than the books, and why she’s not obligated to do anything for him at all, but I’d be here for hours.
What bothers me is the conclusion that because Yara has been mean to him that she somehow deserves to be punished by being tortured or that she needs to be tortured in order to ever like understand her brother. Both of those things are like the craziest logic in the world to me.
First off: no. Yara tried to save Theon. It’s not Yara’s fault he got in that situation, it’s his own, and she tried to rescue him. Then she allowed him back into her home at a critical time, and rather than being ashamed of him for being “weak” she brings him with her to political meetings and presents him as what is essentially her version of a “hand.”
Second: y’all that’s not how mental health works. Theon’s not ok, and if they write him as ok they’re bad writers. You don’t get over trauma that fast. Especially not because of like one conversation you had with your sister while she made out with a topless hooker in a brothel, and a fight on the beech where you got kneed in the balls you don’t have. Theon is still traumatized and he deserves a plot where his sister learns to see that, acknowledge it, and try to understand him. You don’t throw two traumatized people together and just say “well they have both been horrifically abused… they understand one another.” and then things get better. If anything those people are more likely to be self destructive and dangerous because neither of them are in a good place mentally to make sound and rational decisions.
So yeah, the point I was trying to make but got really distracted from because I’m very salty about all the Yara hate I see is that she’s actually a good character in comparison to the others in the show and it’s not ok to wish she would be tortured just for the sake of making Theon ok bc a) that won’t work and b) for the millions time: it’s gross.

LGBTQIA+ BookTubers You Should Be Subscribed To
Pride Day 4!
Check out the intro to my Pride project here.
Here’s a thing you probably already know if you follow this blog: I’m a lesbian BookTuber! For the uninitiated, BookTube is a specific subset of YouTube that involves talking about all things bookish. You want reviews? Recommendations? Discussions? People screaming about their favorite new releases? That’s BookTube in a nutshell. But, when you first join the community, it can be a little harder to find LGBTQIA+ BookTubers. Fear not, we’re out there! And today I’m recommending my favorite channels run by some of my favorite humans. If you want a quick shorlist, I have already posted one of those, but this one will get more in-depth with the kind of videos these lovely people post, and the books they read.
Perpetualpages - This channel is run by the amazing Adriana. If you want in-depth discussions of books (some that you probably have heard of, some that you haven’t) they are the person to follow. Adriana constantly highlights queer lit, Latinx lit, and so much other diverse content. You will never run out of recommendations, and every single video they post leaves me speechless as far as giving me new insights on books and media. Their discussion videos also always astound me, and are some of my favorite content on BookTube.
WoolfsWhistle - Nicole is out here, ready to give you all the sapphic book recommendations you could ever need. Ok, she reads beyond sapphic content. In fact, plenty of variety as far as LGBTQIA+ content is on her channel, but I’ve also gotten some of my all-time favorite wlw books from recommendations in her videos. Her video, Summer Reads for Queer Ladies, is how I found her channel originally and its such a solid introduction to her content. Nicole also has a really excellent mix of books that are super hyped, as well as ones I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere else.
Danika Leigh Ellis - In all likelihood, if you are into finding books with sapphic content, you’ve probably seen some of Danika’s writing already. She manages The Lesbrary, plus @biandlesbianliterature here on tumblr. AND she’s a Book Riot contributor. Honestly, if you are looking for any kind of book that features sapphic ladies, Danika is the person to go to. Her videos are just as informative and full of recommendations as her posts around the internet, and she’s all around a delightful human. Also, she created the LGBTQIA+ BookTube tag so go through this playlist and you will find lots of others who have done this video.
The Boy Who Cried Books - Joseph is here to be queer and talk about queer lit. I actually first happened across his channel when he challenged himself to read nothing but queer books for a full year, and he documented that through a bunch of wrap ups and other videos. Check out that full playlist of Year of Queer videos here! Joseph is hilarious, and constantly highlighting books about queer and/or POC folks, so you should 100% be watching his channel.
Kayley Hyde - Kayley has been doing YouTube for like ten years which is kind of mind-boggling to me, but in more recent years her channel has become a bit more book focused. She’s super sweet, always talks about queer books - mostly contemporary, but plenty of other genres mixed in there as well. Plus, and this is only slightly unrelated, but she has the BEST instagram, and it is full of pictures of Kayley and her girlfriend that I gush over daily.
Wish Fulfillment - Sylwia is one of my favorite people on the internet, and I cannot possibly gush enough about her. Her entire channel is super focused on so many forms of representation, from feminism to mental health to the queer community and more, and every wrap up features a super in-depth look at at least a couple of the books she’s read recently. She covers a wide variety of genres (and has said in the past it’s her goal to get into every genre out there), so there is a little something for every viewer. Sylwia is deeply supportive, incredibly smart, and I love every single piece of content she uploads.
TeaLeavesandBookBindings - What’s fabulous about Ashley, at least for me, is that we read similar books, but I feel like Ashley always has something new to add about them that I didn’t think about, or she has a wildly different opinion that can really change my perspective. We can hype books together, and then have totally opposing opinions that I love to discuss with her. She also always brings variety to her content on YouTube and I adore that. Her Reading While Queer video series started right about the same time that Danika created the LGBTQIA+ BookTube Tag, and it is an utterly engaging mix of discussion of books, representation, and anger. She’s fabulous.
Iris Moon - I have been watching Iris’ channel since right around when I first joined BookTube, and it’s been amazing to watch them grow as a reader, as a reviewer, and as a person. They’ve always been super academic and intriguing with their reviews (the thing that initially drew me to their channel) and I have constantly found totally unexpected books through their wrap ups and recommendations. They also created the Representation Book Tag, which Iris tagged me to do as well and I promise it will happen soon, but it’s fantastic and super enlightening so check that out!
DylantheReader5 - If you’re anywhere on book Twitter, you must have seen Dylan by now. I mean, he’s everywhere. Also, I adore him, just putting that out there. Dylan reads primarily contemporary, mostly emotional contemporary, mystery, and romance. He’s also mega friendly, hilarious, and I spend most of my life sad we live far away so I can’t hug him. It’s a disaster on geography’s part. But if you aren’t already watching his videos, fix that right this second!
Things Lucy Reads - Luce is another BookTuber I feel like I’ve been watching for years! I feel like she’s one of those OG queer BookTubers that has been doing the work for so long, and I live for it. The BookTube Code of Silence videos remains one of my all-time favorites in terms of rep and how we discuss it online, but overall Luce constantly recommends incredible underrated books. Plus I never get tired of her Star Wars content.
xreadingsolacex - Kav!! Is such a gift to our community! I adore their videos, their frank and honest discussion of books, and the recommendations I get from their channel, but honestly Kav is a delightful part of bookish internet in every sense. They’re always cheering people on in the comments (sometimes I get a comments blast from Kav and I get super emotional about it), and they also talk so extensively online about representation, the book community, and how we all can constantly be doing better. Truly, I love them in every way and you should too.
That’s it for the channel highlights! There are lots more LGBTQIA+ BookTubers out there for you to find beyond this list, I promise. You could be watching Riley Marie, Ben Alderson, TheHufflePuffleBooks, jennaclarek, Winx & Ink, TheIrishReader, Pucksandpaperbacks, George Lester, and Peter Likes Books. Also check out this playlist by Danika of Queer Women Booktubers! Alright, that’s all from me today, but be sure to check back tomorrow if you’re looking for some queer SFF.

I genuinely don’t understand how you shared the Appalachian folk magic post and said it’s open for anyone, but, if you don’t have Appalachian roots, how is that different from taking any other closed cultures practice and claiming it as your own. As a second generation American with a mash up of eastern European genetics, I’d feel just as odd attempting to practice Appalachian granny magic as I would hoodoo. Care to explain what determines this besides someone just declaring it is or isn’t ok?
It’s very common all across Tumblr and also here on my blog to talk about practices that are open/closed/semi-closed based off of what is known about it, and then if people are misinformed or I am misinformed then IMO it’s important to be corrected and/or have more discussion. If someone of Appalachian heritage who practices granny magic was informing me of reasons why they feel uncomfortable with me saying it’s “open,” and they feel that it’s very much closed or semi-closed, then I would be very happy to listen to their perspective, fact-check myself with more research, and then change how I describe that practice if needed. I feel like it’s incredibly important to admit when I’ve got my perspective or information wrong and make adjustments. I want to work as hard as I can not to engage in or perpetuate any form of cultural appropriation. When someone takes the time to help with this, it’s greatly appreciated.
I’m not infallible, and that’s why I am very glad when people let me know if I’ve misspoken or misstepped and try to educate me on a practice or culture they are a part of just like I try to do for other people about my practices and cultures. When we’re willing to reach out and also willing to listen, we can all grow as a community in that way. I always want to be part of that on both sides. But rather than coming from that perspective of trying to inform or correct me as someone who practices Appalachian granny magic and who’s from Appalachian culture, you are coming at me on anon with a rather accusatory tone even though you say that you’re not a part of that specific culture based on your heritage. There’s nothing wrong with your questions, they’re important questions to ask and think deeply about. I’m pointing out that the attitude isn’t appreciated or necessary, anon.
I did not grow up in the Appalachian mountains (or even anywhere rural), so I cannot speak for that culture and as I already mentioned, if someone who is a part of that culture feels differently about it then I’d be very interested to hear their perspective and learn more. That being said, I’ve done my best to research from reliable sources and do my due diligence to understand where Appalachian folk magic comes from and whether or not it’s appropriate to recommend it as open to anyone to learn and practice regardless of their ancestry or background. “Open,” by the way, doesn’t mean a free-for-all grab whatever you want out of context. I mean it in the sense that anyone regardless of their background can study it and can learn to practice it from appropriate and authentic sources. I think a basic respect for any culture and any tradition even if it’s “open” should include these considerations.
Appalachian folk magic primarily comes from Irish, Scottish, and European folk magic traditions brought to the Appalachian Mountains by European immigrants. It is a primarily Eurocentric American folk magic tradition. It is important to note that there are other influences too such as influences from hoodoo in it. There are places where they overlap with each other, but they also developed historically in very different contexts. Hoodoo was originally developed by black African and African-descended slaves as a means for survival, personal agency, and cultural preservation in the midst of hundreds of years of horrific and inhumane treatment. Appalachian folk magic as practiced by white European immigrants and their descendants did not develop within the conditions of slavery. Despite some of the overlap and cultural exchange between these traditions, the historical and racial dynamics that contributed to the development of each one are vastly different in nature.
Cultural appropriation by definition is when someone borrows aspects from a non-dominant culture in ways that are not welcomed or permitted by that non-dominant culture. The term typically isn’t applicable to religions, traditions, or practices that are mostly related to or derived from dominant cultures. In theory, this would absolutely be the case for Appalachian granny magic given that it is primarily based in British, Irish, and Scottish folk magic. Now, sometimes there may be exceptions to this general guideline for various reasons, which is why I decided to search for authentic sources on Appalachian granny magic written by people who are legitimate practitioners from that culture. Here’s what I found, which to me seems to indicate very clearly that Appalachian folk magic is indeed an open practice.
First of all some background from folklorist and historian Anthony Cavender who wrote Folk Medicine in Southern Appalachia based on oral histories and archival sources from the nineteenth century to the present.
“To some observers, past and present, the distinctiveness of Southern Appalachian people is situated not in ethnicity, for it would be problematic to argue that they are a distinct ethnic group, but rather in the commonly accepted belief that they were victimized by culture lag due to geographical isolation” (Cavender xiii).
“There never was nor is there now a variety of folk medicine unique to Southern Appalachia. To be sure, one can identify nuances of difference in comparison to other Euro-American populations. The fundamental folk medical beliefs used by Southern Appalachians to explain the cause of illness, however, are not peculiar to them. The same beliefs have been well documented among Euro-American populations in other parts of the country as well as among African Americans” (Cavender xiii).
Mountain Magick: Folk Wisdom from the Heart of Appalachia is written by Edain McCoy, who is a descendant of the McCoy family from Kentucky. The description of her book says,
“In today’s magickal community, Anglo-Celtic religions seem to be the most popular. Even if you are following a British or Irish tradition, you should not overlook the rich folk magick as revealed in Mountain Magick. Many of the people (and their traditions) in this area come from the Scottish and English immigrants who settled there as long ago as the mid-1700s. That is why you will find information on how to integrate the Appalachian folkways with your magickal lifestyle” [x].
Rebecca Beyer is the blogger of Blood and Spicebush, who was born in Appalachia and also researches, writes about, and teaches Appalachian folk magic. She makes it clear that her concerns are for cultural appropriation within Appalachian folk magic of indigenous cultures (as there are some Native influences) and from POC (due to hoodoo influences). She writes,
“I tell my students whether we are studying Medieval herbalism or Appalachian folk charms against ghosts, that some things are not meant for us. I was born in Appalachia, but raised all over this country, and that means that those things to which I am privy are different than those things that are privy to someone who was born and raised here in these mountains that I call home.
I do not mourn that, for what good would that do me. It is a reality to live in the sometimes-discomfort of realizing we all have access to different things and have different work to do. Living in shame or envy is not the answer. Just as we face the privileges afforded to us by our whiteness, class and/or ability, we must closely and lovingly examine the traditions we engage in for spiritual gain as well… We can do it without spiritual picking-and-choosing in appropriative ways that cause harm to indigenous folks and POC” [x].
I hope these sources and my explanations thoroughly answer your question, anon. In short, my stating that Appalachian granny folk magic is an open tradition is not about whether or not I have Appalachian heritage but ultimately a part of a broader discussion about cultural appropriation, the dynamics of dominant and non-dominant cultures, the history of how this Eurocentric tradition developed compared to other American folk traditions, and most importantly the voices of actual practitioners of Appalachian folk magic who do have a right to that culture and have chosen to teach and share it with others.
So with that, I invite anyone who has more information to please join in the discussion! I hope that I am correct in my understanding of this tradition being open, but if not then I am very open to feedback and learning more.
