#theyre just in denial

There was a teen in the cave.
A teen no one knows and looks like he could be a wayne, stands in the cave.
"Actually, I'm a wayne." He says with a shrug.
Bruce, Batman, carefully thinks of the implication.
"Not yet," The teen, Danny, doesn't say anything. Simple smiles. "You're not a wayne, yet. You will be. But not yet."
Then Bruce sighs, dropping the batman mask in order to take in the teen.
"Does future me know of the time travel?"
Dannys smile grows into a grin, deciding to take pity on the man. "You, grandbat, have..." He makes a vague gesture. "Theories, which none of your children ever confirmed."
The bat's mind short-circuits at the choice of words
Dick is sputtering incomprehensibly, there are Baffled expression all around.
Because.
Because that child isn't Bruce's, but one of theirs.
"Who is it?" Jason demands, hand clenching his gun uselessly.
Danny continues to smile, a hint of mischief now peeking out.
The cave is filled with theories, some yell, some sob, yet all eyes leave danny.
All but one pair.
She had known the moment his body language switched just enough for her to read.
She had known the moment he disappeared before the clan.
Had known when his hand found hers, shoulders bumping.
Her heart clenches, throat dry and memories of her childhood flooding to mind.
So she asks, voice soft and hesitant.
"Am I a good mother?"
And danny looks up at cass, adoration and pride laid out plain for her to see and accept.
"You're the best."
And so they both watch the clan together, silent and comfortable.
(Cass doesn't question when she finds him, how and why. All she knows is that she's more attentive when out on patrol, looking and waiting.)
(This is how Cassandra Cain-Wayne returns one night from patrol, a child, barely out of toddler stage and clinging to her form.)
(This is how the Batclan officially meets one Daniel James Cain-Wayne, freshly washed and clothed, a cookie in hand and hiding shyly behind Cass.)
(When they meet, all they say is "Welcome home, danny," and "Good to see you again.", Danny doesn't necessarily get it, but that's okay. Maybe his new mom will explain it one day when he's bigger.)
#dcxdp#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc#fic prompt#writing prompt#dc x dp prompt#cassandra cain is dannys mom#time travel shenanigans lead to conspiracy theories#half of the batclan think jason is the dad#or dick#damian and tim are outruled just bc age and tim denying it with no one protesting#alfred knows#danny moves like cass#he gave them both a cookie in the shadows#danny won him over by calling him great grand bat#he tells him of all the mischief they got up to bc no one would believe the baby had alfie wrapped around his finger like that#theyre just in denial#theyre all wrapped around the finger#danny “i mastered how to wrpaonize my cuteness” cain-wayne

Theta is an incredibly old Hag having been able to survive for a millennium, her true age unknown as she herself stopped counting. Thus amongst Hags, not only does she rank as a Grandmother but a very powerful one at that, her only misfortune having been the last of her coven, the group having cannibalized itself in a struggle for power.
Such old Hags exist but are a rarity, and in some isolated pockets of rural areas they are worshipped as deities of the natural cycle of decomposition and as the group for life. Though this practice is few and far between and generally discouraged in favour of the standard pantheon and generally labeled as a false or old god. Their domains consist of ancient forests older than civilizations, not unlike Silvanus, though where they differ is that the Fae have a propensity to grant wishes and desires, for a price of course, rather than keeping a distance for the sake of balance (Often times this involves body parts [ a la what Auntie Ethel does in BG3, where they would be granted sight or hearing through your body] or living beings).
Theta's reasoning for pursuing Blythe is nothing special - she was simply seeking out Elven women with a potential, ones that have not awakened or honed their magical skills as to be molded and influenced (She sees it as teaching a chick to fly).
Like other Hags, Theta believes in the obscenity of love; patron of obsession and possession. She encourages Elven mages to cannibalize their lovers - and is staunch in the belief that consuming another grants their power. Whether or not that belief is fact or fiction is dubious.
#Theta#cannibalism as a metaphor for love taken LITERALLY!!#I WANT to add the introdude the remote worship into the story because...i love me some rituals and ye Old Gods worship#most primal forms of worship and denial of the accepted pantheon#i like to think of all the different fae as being almost independent of each other - kind of like humanoids in faerun#yes theyre all fae but theyre so divorced whatever the other is doing#i love old folk beliefs and rituals as a medium for storytelling especially with how its portrayed in Funger and Witcher#PRIMAL POWERFUL BEINGS....NOT EVIL NOR GOOD...JUST FORCES....

If Billy Hargrove is your idea of evil, you’re a life virgin. Seriously, you must live in a hell of a security bubble.
An abused teenager who spent the majority of his screen time in tears and being taken advantage of repeatedly isn’t evil. Labeling stuff you don’t understand as evil or problematic... do y’all ever get tired??
Being exposed to “the other side” is literally a part of life, and it’s not a bad thing. It can be good for you, actually.
#yes i returned to main to say this#its so fucking stupid#id say you should watch more media to see a real villain#but too much media may be part of the problem idk#billy hargrove#fandom wank#it is painfully obvious just how sheltered a majority of antis are#that or theyre just in denial#wasting your time guilt tripping strangers into not liking a character is just dumb#if yall werent too quick to shut out what you don't understand...#there are actual problematic characters in media#idk come back when you can name 5 real ones lmfao#its pathetic#i can give you some rn#literally most hotd characters#patrick bateman from american psycho#theres homelander#oh and soldier boy

Is karkat going to go through a similar arc as peridot?
Karkat's arc is a bit of a mix between Amethyst and Peridot, but both sorts of flipped on their heads!
The idea with Karkat is that he's a Jasper who woke up too early. Unlike Amethyst who woke up too late, Karkat emerges from his hole some hundred years before he's supposed to. The planet is incubating and not being super closely monitored because everything's all set and they're just waiting for the gems to grow. This leaves Karkat pretty much alone on a desolate, dark, dying planet.
He wishes for nothing more than to go back to sleep, he tries to crawl back into his hole multiple times waiting for consciousness to slip, but he can't go back to "keep growing" after he's emerged.
The longer you wait, the more your mind fills. It’d be wrong to call them memories, you didn’t exist before, so they can’t be memories.
Purpose. What your purpose should be. You’re a Jasper, you’re a Quartz, made for war. You’re a soldier, you’re a warrior for Homeworld. You’re supposed to be big and strong, ready to fight for your creators, for your Diamond.
You’re supposed to fit your hole. You can’t.
So he makes a life of wandering the planet. It's cold and boring, so fucking boring, and he thinks a lot about what he could do. He thinks about how he's a failure to the Diamonds, swapping between fear of being discovered here and wanting nothing more than to interact and talk with another sentient being.
Unbeknownst to Karkat, another group of gems nears the Kindergarten. The Alpha Kids are a small group of rebel gems who stole a ship off Homeworld. Upon needing to stock up on supplies, Roxy locates an incubating Kindergarten that is long enough in its cycle for no gems to inhabit the planet, but early enough that they can still retrieve what they need. They land on the Kindergarten and Karkat eavesdrops, stunned to be witnessing actual living real people.
But Karkat realizes what they are, when he listens in and realizes that they're traitors.
He sees this as an opportunity. If he can turn these rebels in, then the Diamonds won't shatter him! He won't be a failure!
So he boards the ship, sneaking on as a stowaway. Roxy almost immediately finds him and it turns into that little scene.
Jane and Roxy convince Dirk to let Karkat live and stay aboard, and Karkat stays locked up in one of the rooms. He's like a little hissy cat, but he's also completely overwhelmed and overstimulated just being around things that aren't the Kindergarten.
With a lot of time and a lot of slowly building trust, Karkat starts to warm up to the Alpha Kids and eventually becomes a proper part of their squad.
#homestuck#hs#gemstuck#chris talks#maybe while he's still on the ship early on#he's like “ok ill play along with their stupid friendship stuff”#“but really!! im still going to sell them out!!!”#and he clings onto that for a long time#in denial that theyre actually starting to endear him#maybe there IS an opportunity he gets to sell them out#some moment where roxy leaves the door to communications open#and karkat could sneak in. set out an SOS signal#and he just....#decides not to.#i have so many karkat thoughts#about how he's so curious about everything#how years and years and years passed on such a desolate awful planet for him that now practically anything that just so much as moves is-#-fascinating to him#how he's the first one to get really comfortable when they all go to earth#because he's learned by that point to be curious#he's the first one that talks to a human#(blood player blood player blood pla

sometimes i think about how wild a mw2 movie would be if they just dropped soapghost right in the middle with no warning or marketing. like imagine it being beat for beat the exact same, it’s your typical military action movie, promoted as just another military action movie then after they get to the safe house, ghost has to patch up soap and he’s still out of it, overwhelmed by the betrayal and everything he’s seen and ghost needs to ground him and keep him in the present, to remind him that he’s alive and safe so he kisses him and they have sex. the tantrums and the rants and the “ReAl sOLdiErS aRen’t liKe ThAt”, god i can taste it and it’s delicious
#theres never any talk of a relationship or sexuality crisis its just this moment of humanity and comfort to bring soap back to himself#real any time you need me by thirteenbullets vibes#theyre not the type of men to have something as normal as a relationship#theyre just everything to each other they know that and its enough#ghost can be such a complex character if you let him#this guy whos rejected his humanity has buried himself and become a ghost#willingly digging himself out of the grave to stop soap from digging his own#like how are there not more explicitly homoerotic military movies that actually pull the trigger (heh) on the homo part of the eroticism#you know how if movies have even a hint of queerness they wring it out for every drop of respresentation they can get#theres a hundred articles and its mentioned in every interview and it all journalists ask those actors#imagine it being a complete secret and everyone expects just a typical action movie#then boom battle buddy gay sex#like if it were a male and fenale character you would see that scene coming a mile away so why cant it happen with two guys#just doing it is the only way of normalising it#i still see men saying they act like brothers which is denial so strong even egypt is impressed#but imagine the general public expecting this manly man military movie then getting hit with the alone mission flirting and denying it#then getting smacked in the face with tender wound care and grounding love making initiated by the edgelord they were using as a self inser#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#soapghost#ghostsoap#ghoap#john soap mactavish#soap cod#simon ghost riley#ghost cod#cod mw2#we’re a team. ghost team

everyone knows the classic "oh" in fanfiction, but a good variant is the "oh. oh no" that is still 100% about a crush realization
#when its an emotionally suppressed edgy tsundere thats about to be in HARD denial about their feelings#and gonna be all broody bc they cant believe they actually have ~ridiculous~ romantic feelings 👌👌👌 THE BEST#AND THEY KEEP GETTING EASILY FLUSTERED BC THEYRE USED TO SUPPRESSING THEIR EMOTIONS#BUT THEYVE NEVER HAD TO DEAL WITH SUPPRESSING *THIS* KIND OF EMOTION#SO THEYRE JUST AN ABSOLUTELY BLUSHY GRUMPY MESS#as you all can probably tell. im thinking SO MUCH about hiei realizing he has a crush on kurama right now

Good carewhumper trope: A whumper who prides themself on being cold, strict, no nonsense when it comes to dealing with whumpee however they see fit, yet enemies and allies alike can see how soft whumper is when it comes to whumpee to the point it's so painfully obvious to everyone but whumper
#bonus if whumper actually DOES have a well deserved rep for being cruel and dangerous#but for whatever reason they're just so much gentler with whumpee#not perfectly sweet just like 90% toned down to what everyone else is used to#but whumper is still like 'nah im so terrifying i don't give a shit'#while forcing whumpee to have dinner with them bc theyve been on a hunger strike for 4 days#i love whumpers in denial about their true feelings bc ew no theyre not sweet on anyone fuck u

lou’s character work is always incredible but his choices for deli are so interesting and only work in this setting with this timeskipping plotline. starting out as this idealistic and driven young man who’s also a little inexperienced and naive and turning him gradually into a bloodthirsty warlord completely consumed by his own ambition to the point where he’s lost himself completely and the only way he can weather his transformation is by finding a savage joy in it is so appropriate for the ravening war setting its a tragedy but its inevitable that war turn him into this and the worst part is that he’s not even special. this is happening all over the world to all kinds of people because there are forces bigger than them that they desperately want to control and some of them, like amethar, are forced into it rather than following their ambition into that despair, but plenty of people, likely including belizabeth, focaccia, basha, and definitely karna in a different (although maybe more fucked up) way are following that exact same path
#love the difference between young and old (as in fully adult) pcs#amangeaux and raphaniel are falling apart everything theyve ever worked for is unraveling and theyre spiraling out of control#raphaniel in a way that’s manic and in denial and amangeaux just quietly resigned#also amangeaux’s LIFE is not ruined like raphaniels bc she’s not as consumed but her political situation absolutely is tanked for good#she went from QUEEN OF A NATION to a soldier in a minor noble’s army#meanwhile deli and karna are blasting full speed towards their own destruction#but they still have the energy and potential of youth enough to not even realize theyre heading toward ruin#anyway. colin is the only pc who will survive (physically or mentally lmao)#and he’s the softest! he’s choosing to be soft and weak by others’ standards and it will get him the farthest#the ravening war

the way people are always denying that sonic and tails are brothers whenever one or both of them appears in a sibling related poll is so sad. you hate little guys ? you hate family born of love and not genetics ? you hate youre my mom and dad and picket fence ?
#also ive noticed that nobody ever complains about other sets of adopted siblings being included?#or even characters who arent canonically siblings but are just headcanoned as such ?#its only ever sonic and tails that get that backlash and denial. even though theyre canonically brothers. i dont get it#sonic frontiers spoilers#< tagging because . i references a frontiers quote in the post#ive literally seen people say that sonic and tails arent real siblings#just because theyre mad that theyre beating their favorite set of blood related sibilngs on a tumblr poll#whihc is just so weird. like they may be fictional characters but i feel like that might be revealing some of your thoughts#about irl adopted siblings.#some people just dont know and arent assholes about it and only go ''wait tails has a sibling?'' and leave it at that#but again. i never see anyone say that sort of thing about any other characters in these polls. JUST sonic and tails. its so weird ?

#jews are 0.2% of the population#i have never seen so many hamas supporting genuine anti zionist as in no israel at all jews dont belong there jews Ever#and i usually run in pretty far left circles#i keep finding either explicitly or vaguely pro hamas lefty jews and its so ?? like they would not spare you just bc youre a sell out#lots of denial of ethnic tied to israel or why israel even exists in the first place#and complete dissolution is the best solution bs which is the equivalent of a tantrum and not anything that can be realistically worked with#this is not saying that all of these jews are lying about being jewish bc every group has their sell outs and outliers that don’t understand#what theyre talking about; being a minority does NOT make you the expert on the minority#but it has to be … some of them#jumblr#jewish

I am also obsessed with like. How Alastair is personally involved with Dean in terms of deep job satisfaction and Dean being an Important One. but meaningfully Dean doesn't mean much to him. Like he is a job to break. He is something Alastair just. Succeeded at.
But also To Dean He's known Alastair longer than anyone. He feels completely fundamentally shaped and changed by Alastair. Which is like. As opposed to Sam and Lucifer where Lucifer had overtly romanticised and has personal reasons wrapped up in Sam, Alastair is more just, working in the mechanisms Lucifer created. AND to avoid pain and to be taught Dean DID need Alastair's personal approval. So Dean has all these incredibly complex feelings for someone who he isn't really that significant to in comparison.
So he's like. Reflecting back this sort of position John's filled. And it's so interesting in that Alastair had probably also even known John longer than Dean has. Alastair knew John first.
#everyone throwing tomatoes at me like can you be normal about supernatural hell trauma#spn#incoherents#supernatural#dean winchester#alastair#tw abuse#torture#john winchester#john#dean#oh also regarding Sam i do think Sam could relate to feeling this way though neither of them would ever admit it and for Sam it just. isnt#as much a reflection of Lucifer but his denial and treatment. Sam is like. Lucifer LITERALLY says theyre made for each other.#meanwhile Alastair probably just feels like he made Dean what he is. im going to post that im so normal
