Continuation Of This

The strongest.

It occurs to me that Athena was likely very fond of Penelope as well as Odysseus and Telemachus, not only because of her own cunning but also because of her weaving. Athena was a goddess of cunning and weaving and how did Penelope trick the suitors for so long? With a plan centered around trickery and weaving. That whole family is Athena’s special little guys.

hey whats up guys @castielrisingabove's tags on this post absolutely obliterated me. so i drew them and now they get to obliterate you too. enjoy

Happy International Asexuality Day!!! 🖤🩶🤍💜

Give me chronically fatigued Viktor.

Give me Viktor, falling asleep at his desk in the middle of the day because he’s been staring at those calculations for so long and his head is just too heavy to keep upright anymore, no matter how much sleep he gets.

Give me Viktor, leaving the lab early in the summers until Jayce builds him a personal AC unit, because the heat makes him drowsy.

Give me Viktor, falling asleep at a Council meeting, because it’s dark and he’s sitting and the voices around him have been droning on for hours. He startles when Jayce nudges him to leave. A succinct summary dictated by Mel appears in the lab the next day. (Viktor appreciates this, as it’s hard to focus on Jayce’s words when he’s so exhausted and he’s terrible at summarizing anyway)

Give me Viktor, nearly causing an explosion when his vision blurs/crosses while engineering, resulting in a stray spark. Jayce bans Viktor from operating machinery after 5pm, one of the only lab rules Viktor hates but won’t break.

Give me Viktor, frustrated at a problem for hours, only for Jayce to correct something he had made a mistake on due to brain fog.

Give me Viktor blaring music, drinking religious amounts of caffeine, and blasting his AC to near-freezing to keep himself somewhat alert.

Give me a Viktor who keeps oversleeping, showing up to the lab at noon because Jayce never has the heart to go and wake him when he clearly needs the rest. Viktor eventually moves in with Jayce because he can’t trust himself to wake up anymore, no matter how many alarms he sets. Plus, Jayce lives closer to the lab, and it’s an easier walk in terms of both pain and fatigue.

Give me Viktor leaning on Jayce at an event because there’s no place to sit and putting weight on his crutch relieves the pain in his leg, not the constant exhaustion pulling at his soul. Give me Jayce offering gentle support for that smallest bit of relief.

Give me a Viktor who’s not tired from long nights in the lab, but because of his illness.

Postliminary Conversations

always thought that Silco became a council member in the ep 7 AU... I would've loved to see him interact w/ Mel or Cassandra 🥹🥹🥹

muse (derogatory)

I don’t think we talk enough about how well Bill controlled Ford through isolation. Yes he scared Fiddleford away, and threatened to further break his relationship with Stanley, but he also successfully isolated Ford from basically the entirety of HUMANITY. Bill’s praises weren’t just an appeal to ego or to convince Ford he was smarter than everyone around him, they convinced him he could accomplish more than any human ever could. Any relationships Ford could have were worthless, don’t you agree? They could never understand — how could they? They were human, and Ford was being blessed by something more. What could they have to offer him, that Bill couldn’t?

(Nothing but unconditional love. And Bill can’t have Ford knowing that someone might love him despite his mistakes, that someone might love him not because of what he’s accomplished, but because of who he is.)

Really glad we’re crowning Dick as the scariest batfamily member. Society is healing.

Don’t mind me, just imagining Bruce’s hands, big, soft, covered in the labor of violence, holding his eldest’s face, saying, “This is Dick. He’s the kindest person I know.”

Dick’s fists are behind his back. He’s holding some socialite’s bloody tongue in them. If they’re going to use it to talk shit about his father, they don’t need it. His smile is sunshine and war.

"meljayvik where mel and viktor share jayce" OR THEY'RE ALL IN LOVE, PLEASE. i want them all happy.
