Proverbs 4:18 (NKJV) - But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

The idea of Hannibal playing nurse to Will - cleaning his wounds in water and holding his hands and bandaging them - on one level there's an eroticism and on the other hand, so to speak, there's almost a Christ like quality of Christ washing the feet of all his apostles, in a way. There's - there's eroticism and religious symbolism in the relationship which I am constantly finding new levels to. - Bryan Fuller, Naka-Choko audio commentary

"Wow...Guess he really is asleep..." You whisper, the kazoo you had been playing in an attempt to wake the Avatar of Sloth up now safely in your pocket, lest Lucifer confiscate it again.

You poke Belphie's forehead with your pointer finger, then continue poking it, because it was fun. Still Asleep Belphie seems to hate this more than you attempting to play Vivaldi's Winter on the kazoo and failing miserably, seeing as his cowlike tail swings out, wraps around your leg and pulls you to the ground.

"ARGH! What?!" You barely have time to process before you're dragged up by the tail that's latched around your ankles and quite meanly (may you add), dropped on the bed. Belphie entraps you in a hug, and thankfully this time, doesn't crush your internal organs. How sweet! <3

"Go to sleep MC...." The demon mutters half awake for a moment before drifting back off again.

You try to reach for your kazoo, for the second time, Belphie's tail whips out gently at you. "Don't even think about it." He pouts, before his expression and breathing even out once more.

You might as well get comfortable, seeing as you were now trapped for what looks to be hours.

You can't even play your kazoo.

Why do your plans always backfire? :(

For what it means is this, among other things: that for whatever reason God chose to make man as he is—limited and suffering and subject to sorrows and death—he had the honesty and courage to take his own medicine. Whatever game he is playing with his creation, he has kept his own rules and played fair. He can exact nothing from man that he has not exacted from himself. He has himself gone through the whole of human experience, from the trivial irritations of family life and the cramping restrictions of hard work and lack of money to the worst horrors of pain and humiliation, defeat, despair, and death. When he was a man, he played the man. He was born in poverty and died in disgrace and thought it well worthwhile.

Dorothy Sayers on the Incarnation, "The Greatest Drama Ever Staged" (emphasis mine)

regardless of whatever canon turns out to be, i really enjoy the idea that both robin and firefly approached gallagher and asked him to get his weird creature to kill them in front of someone else. he’s not sure why they know about it, or why they want that, but he’s fascinated that TWO women approached him in one day asking him to sic his fucked up dog on them.

firefly: hey. see that person with the grey hair over there? the one i was just on a date with? i need you to summon the beast and have it brutally murder me in front of them. like, really brutal. make it look like it hurts. maybe toss my fatally injured body at them afterwards. can you do that for me?

gallagher: (thinking of how robin asked him to do pretty much the same thing like 6 hours ago) you kids these days sure have some weird hobbies. sure what the heck why not

The transgender contrast of loving your parents but also for Trust Reasons longing for an additional external authority figure you can count on more unconditionally to support or protect you that totally doesn’t risk becoming a kink

I just lost all of the ao3 tabs open on my phone. I'm going to commit murder. Farwell.

Tim's turn

Dick Jason Damian Cass

Lighthearted

Danny gets reincarnated as Tim's little brother. They grow up thick as thieves so when Tim becomes Robin, Danny finds out rather quickly. Having no desire to be a hero again but also wanting to make sure his brother is safe, Danny helps Alfred on coms. With the help of the knowledge of his past life, he also becomes the resident engineer. No matter what hair brained idea Tim or anyone else comes up with, Danny can build it. This ability isn't used too often though because much to the anguish of Bruce, when Danny starts working on a project, he temporarily develops his brother's atrocious sleeping habits.

Angsty

The Drake parents take Danny with them to their archeological digs because he's too young to stay home with Tim. They're really exasperated about this because Danny takes a lot of time away from their dig time (he's about 2). At one of their digs, when they are at peak annoyance with Danny, they meet a couple hunting for ghosts. When the couple mentions wanting another kid but being unable to have anymore children Janet and Jack get an idea. They tell the couple they can take their son. It is a partial joke but when the couple says sure they think why not? One's enough anyway. When his parents get home without his baby brother and Tim finds out why, he doesn't talk to his parents for months. Meanwhile Danny is constantly crying the first few months he's with the Fentons because he misses his parents. But with his little toddler brain he eventually moves on and forgets about his old family. Tim on the other hand dedicates his whole life to finding his little brother. Whenever he's not working on a case, he's searching for any sign of him. He finally finds a picture of a local hero in a small town in Illinois. His hair may be white and his eyes may be green. He may look older too. But it doesn't matter. Tim would recognize his brother anywhere.

As a collective I think we really ought to talk more about this mandrill baboon sign Mickey has in his room that is clearly stolen from a zoo. When did he get it? How did he get it? Why did he want it?? And perhaps most importantly, is The Lion King his favorite Disney movie and Rafiki his favorite character? I just have so many questions.

IDK WTF THIS CARD GAME IS ABOUT BUT I NEED IT IMMEDIATELY
