#would die

[imtired-likerllytired]

Okay so weird headcanon I have

Dick Learnt English young like really young despite traveling around. Right, except his parents never taught him. He learned bc one of the older folks at the circus has a tv (which John and Mary saw no point in bc what is a Grayson if not in constant motion staring at a box all day would be dreadfully boring)

Now the… slight issue with is? Well she was old

Like very old

And the shows she would watch would have been from when she was a young child

What I’m saying is Dick Grayson learned English through 40s tv shows and had a transatlantic accent and would say things like “gee” and “gosh” and “swell” and bc the rest of the circus were

A) not that well versed in English

B) far far far too charmed to ever correct him

Or

C) were well aware that an old timey accent added to the charm of the circus and brought it just that much more revenue

But you see the vision

“Boy oh boy I sure am excited to go out with you today!”

“Gee Gosh I hope I didn’t bug that poor kid”

???? ARE YOU SEEING MY VISION ????

Like everyone (including Bruce) thinks he’s putting it on until after his parents fall and Jim is like “kid you can drop the act no one is looking or listening it’s fine” and Dick states using his massive blue eyed that are very shiny with tears (should be considered a lethal weapon) and is like “oh well, what ever are could you speaking about” like he came out of the wizard of Oz

And like after he gets out of juvie he obviously got the accent beaten out of him but a few weeks living in a manor and he gets Robin and he starts to slip

And oh my days

Alfred is just. So. Charmed. By. The. Tiny. Young. Master. And. His. Little. Accent

It’s so perfectly quaint like it came out of a movie from the 40s

Dick doesn’t say go to the movies he says let’s see a picture

And like no one, not even Babs is aware that his og accent is literally a tv accent from the fifties. The only people who know are Bruce, Alfred, Clark, Lois, Selina and Diana.

Clark and Lois find out together bc Bruce drops Dick off at Clark’s bc he has a date a fight scheduled with Talia and like he can’t bring Dick bc they will fight. Just fight. Okay Alfred. Geez

Anyway Clark immediately goes “gee gosh Dick it’s great ta meetcha” bc Christopher Reeve was my Clark Kent for too long for it to not be and Dick immediately latches on to the familiar speech tone and replies to Clark with an equally antiquated expression with stars in his eyes.

And Bruce has to explain “no he isn’t mocking Clark, he came this way bye” before jetting off to FIGHT Talia that’s what they’re doing yep.

And Lois has to sit there and watch as these two people who talk like the movies her grandparents watch excitedly circle each other like a giant malamute and a Pomeranian becoming friends

It’s both horrifying to her sensibilities and inexplicably adorable.

Diana has a similar story but Lois isn’t there for comedic effect

And Selina well I like to think Selina puts on the like “old timey accent” whenever she’s being flirty to get away from stealing something like “oh dear, you think it was lil ole me who took that well I never” she’d do it

But like post baby Grayson acquisition she does it and Bruce like winces and is like “please don’t remind me of my son rn” and Selina is like????????? And Bruce/batman has to explain that Robins actually unironically deadest of asses has a transatlantic accent and

Selina to this day has never heard it but the sheer horror in Bruce’s face whenever she pulls it out is enough for her to buy it

Also side note

Donna Troy also knows lol

Just figured out that both had same shade of red hair once...

[strandnreyes]

a thought just occurred to me. there’s been a strong campaign for a shower scene in recent years… much to think about given the news of the day

[sparkdoesart]

if you could be a fictional character for a day, but you had to spend that day in the setting from a different fiction (oc allowed for both categories)? who would you be where?

That is such a painful question. Oh wow. The thing is, i heavily attach myself to my favorite character at the time, so of course, I'd want to say ryan, but i also would love to go on the train. Alright alright

Character would be Ryan Akagi, and the setting would be Amphibia because why the hell not.

Honestly, make it more than a day even. I'd love to see Amphibia.

My biggest fear is that I forget to put anon on after making a confession on here

tbh in most cases I won’t post an ask non-anon.

I make exceptions if I’m familiar with the kind of stuff they post or they mention their account/username somehow :)

if you ever do I’ll message you about it dw. I don’t judge lmao

[despazito]

Could you imagine being a hyperfixated loser in the 90s when caring about anything was lame

One thing I'll never get is people who blame the Greens for Rhaenyra's miscarriage.

You can argue that the stress of the news of Aegon claiming throne behind her back put her in labor, but it was born without a heart and with major deformities. The heart is one of the first things that's develops in a fetus, so it's not as if it's early birth caused it to not yet have a heart. Nor would it explain the dragon-like features it had.

This isn't the same as the death of Dany's baby. Magic was being used so it'd make sense that the cause of her baby's distorted features was the fault of the sorceress.

But the Greens didn't use magic to deform Rhaenyra's baby. They didn't even do anything to purposely cause her to go into labor early. She just so happened to be pregnant when the kind died. They didn't maliciously set out to kill her unborn child. A child that even if it had made it to term would have died anyway.

I'm not saying Rhaenyra is bad for blaming them. Even in modern day with the knowledge to know the child was never viable grief is hard and it's easy to blame someone for the loss instead of having to face the truth that it was just bad luck. Without modern tech it makes sense that Rhaenyra could easily think the stress warped the baby, or that the Greens had used magic to kill it.

It's fine and understandable that Rhaenyra thinks the Greens killed her unborn baby. It less fine when fans, who should know better do it.

There are plenty of valid reasons to hate the Greens and Alicent. If the account of Alicent wishing Rhaenyra would die in childbirth is true that's a shitty thing to say. Alicent not valuing Rhaenyra's first kids as highly as her own because they were born out of wedlock is also bad.

But Alicent didn't kill Rhaenyra's baby. She just didn't. It was always going to die. It was not viable in anyway shape or form. If the war hadn't happened, her daughter wouldn't have been born healthy. The only way to believe it was Alicent's fault is to either believe Alicent used magic to mess with Rhaenyra's unborn baby or think Targ women, if stressed, will unknowingly disfigure the healthy children they carry.
