Early scenarios joongdok dynamic 🔥🔥🔥
They hit several shipping dynamics I would freely give my left kidney for. I adore ❤️
I recently start seeing Vanitas no Carte, and I absolutely loved it. I have seen some screencaps of the anime, but I never imagined that the story was going to be like that. I don't know what I was expecting. All of the characters are really endearing and complex. I love Vanitas, because he is really insane, but at the same time, I would hit him if I had the chance.
Okay, but hear me out:
Murder baby Damian, but for whatever reason, his first attempt at Tim's life is put on pause, so they never have that interaction. Instead, before Damian can come up with a new plan, Tim (who's kinda excited he now isn't the baby of the family) offers to train him in detective work for when Damian finally gets the mantle of 'Robin' as a way to bond with him.
"Why train your enemy, Drake?"
"We're brothers, not enemies. Besides, Robin has always been a mantle to pass down. I'm certainly not going to keep it in my twenties or thirties. And other than Bruce, I'm the best detective in the family."
"Very well, Drake, I shall accept your tutelage for the time being."
Damian accepts, of course. Not only can he study Drake for his weaknesses, he will also improve his own skill set. It's worth the wait for Robin. By the time Damian's done, there will be no doubt that he is the superior bat.
Unfortunately, he actually grows fond of Timothy. While he will inevitably get close with Richard, just like in canon, Timothy is a breath of fresh air for when Richard is being too overbearing, especially when it comes to things like 'socializing,' and 'making friends.'
When his father dies, and Timothy declared him actually lost to time, Richard doesn't believe him, can't believe him, because the hope is too painful. Timothy still gives Damian Robin, because, "I'm barely holding on as Batman as it is. I can't handle Robin being gone for potentially months at a time, halfway around the world."
During his partnership with Richard, truly becoming his brother-son, Richard introduces the ideas of pets to him. Damian loves animals, and having and taking care of a creature that could potentially survive on its own, but will have a much better quality of life under his care, speaks to him. He has Alfred and Titus and about half a dozen other stray animals that usually stay for about a week while he nurses them to health at any given moment, but he feels like he should officially have another pet.
Que the whole thing with his grandfather, and Timothy getting kicked out of the top of a skyscraper. He comes home with proof, and the Justice League brings his father home. And as Dick basically refuses to let anyone leave the mansion for the foreseeable future, Damian realizes several facts:
1.) Timothy is a human, and humans are animals.
2.) While Timothy has somehow survived until now, he wouldn't recognize self-care if it slapped him in the face.
3.) Timothy's quality of life will improve if someone is taking care of him because he cannot be trusted to do it for himself. (Is it a coincidence that he loses organs when he is away from the family? Damian thinks not.)
4.) Damian has gotten good at taking care of animals.
Ergo, Timothy is now Damian's pet. Tim doesn't know what to do and simply humors him. Besides, it's nice when someone actually bothers to give him a plate of foods that he likes when he gets hyper focused on work and forgets to eat. That, and while he is exasperated every time Damian tranqs him, those are still the best sleeps of his life.
Jason finds it hilarious. Damian doesn't understand Richard or his father's reactions.
"Damian, Tim can take care of himself."
"Barely. Father, now that I am in charge of his sleep schedule, there aren't as many dark circles under his eyes. Even Alfred has commented that Timothy consumes less caffeine."
"Damian, he can't be your pet."
"Why not?"
"Tim's your brother; he's family."
"So are you saying that Alfred and Titus aren't family?"
Now, I'm not saying that I'm a die-hard DFO believer. I think that the theory is fun, and as a joke, I told my friend that if Izuku's father wasn't introduced by the end of the manga then DFO was officially canon by process of elimination. I'm just here to give my opinion about one of the main points people claim disproves DFO: Izuku being born quirkless. I would argue that Izuku being born quirkless, rather than having his quirk stolen as an infant, gives more credibility to the DFO theory.
For starters, when Izuku is told he in the first episode by the doctor (who is obviously AFO's doctor) that he's quirkless and is shown the x-ray of his foot, the doctor says a line (and I'm paraphrasing here) about how "it was virtually unheard of for a child born from two fourth-generation quirk users to be quirkless." The doctor could potentially be lying, but that is very unlikely. Even if he's evil, there's no reason for him to lie in that scenario: Quirks have been around for over a century by then, and lying about something that could be so easily disproven would be moronic.
So, with the belief that he was telling the truth, then it gives more insight into how quirks work. Quirks, in some way, shape, or form, are genetic. It's why quirk marriages were a thing. It's why Katsuki was the unbelievably lucky mix of both his parents' quirks, allowing him to make explosions. It's why Tsuyu's whole family looks froglike. Quirks aren't magically bestowed upon people like Celestia with visions: it's passed down genetically. Quirks are formed from a genetic mutation. This means that based on what the doctor said, quirks are a dominant allele.
To give a basic recap in biology: each gene has two alleles, one from each parent. Genes are what give you your appearance and more: whether your eyes are blue or brown. If you'll be blonde, brunette, or end up as a redhead. If you are more susceptible to different health problems like stroke or Alzheimer's. Alleles, on the other hand, can be either "dominant" or "recessive." "Dominant" alleles need only one parent to transfer it to the child for the trait to show up. "Recessive" alleles, on the other hand, require the allele from both parents to show up in the child. For example, curly hair is dominant over straight hair. If you use 'A' to describe the allele for curly hair and 'a' to describe the allele for straight hair, then it could be looked at as this:
AA= curly hair
Aa= curly hair (dominant allele present)
aa= straight hair (both recessive alleles present)
This means that quirks show up when through a dominant allele. The mention of "fourth-generation quirk users" implies that two quirked parents can give birth to a quirkless individual. That wouldn't be possible if quirks were a recessive allele. Therefore, if both of Izuku's parents were fourth-generation, then it is technically possible for Izuku's ancestors to have passed on the recessive quirklessness through the generations. And Izuku just happened to be the unlucky son of a gun who lost the genetic lottery.
But do you know what this means? It means that it doesn't disprove DFO in the slightest. In fact, having a parent who is a first-generation quirk user adds to the credibility. Canon shows that AFO was the first person who had a quirk. While Izuku is still unlucky on his mother's side of the genetic lottery, having a dad who automatically has a recessive allele makes his quirklessness much more likely.
In conclusion: Izuku being born quirkless just adds to the Dad for one theory. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Sofia: Mr. Cedric, why does your bucket list have ‘Die’ on it?
Cedric: So I can die feeling at least a little bit accomplished.
I'll do you one better:
He's saying this stuff pre-peace era, every time he's fighting Izuna. Many other foes die by his hands swiftly, including other Uchiha, so he finds no need to induce idle chatter. But Izuna is different. They've faced off multiple times before, so Tobirama starts to just naturally converse with the other. Most of the times, it's just insults as Izuna curses Tobirama, his health, his family, his looks, his gods, and his love life.
Tobirama, on the other hand, is making simple observations out loud. But the way he does so is in the most unintentionally romantic ways possible.
He'll take a particularly aggressive hit from Izuna and comment that the Uchiha must have denser bones and muscles to keep up with the strain of their sharingan because Izuna is petite in stature but is strong enough to completely overwhelm most enemies. From an evolutionary standpoint: the Uchiha are beautiful and colorful, which in turn makes them all the more deadly when their enemies fail to realize how much of a force of nature they are.
At different times, he'll make various comments about the different forms of Uchiha swordsmanship, and compare it to dancing, calling it an art form.
Izuna will glare at him, sharingan activated, and Tobirama will note out loud that his sharingan has a similar color to precious rubies and that the sharingan must be the most objectively beautiful doujutsu in the world.
And finally, he'll at one point manage to cut some of Izuna's hair, knowing that Izuna takes great pride in his appearance, and has it woven into a necklace he wears on the battlefield to taunt the Uchiha.
Only:
From Izuna's standpoint, he's been unofficially-officially courting this Senju. The Uchiha are a warrior clan, and they value strength and beauty above all else when looking for a spouse.
Tobirama effortlessly becomes in tune with Izuna whenever they clash blades. They're fights genuinely do feel like violent dances. Tobirama calls him beautiful, and acknowledges his strength in the same breath. He appreciates Izuna's swordsmanship and calls it art. He tells Izuna that his sharingan (what some Uchiha believe to be the entire culmination of their souls) beautiful and declares it better than any other clan eye techniques. And finally, he manages to steal something of value to Izuna, proving his strength, and wears it to battle in a declaration of ownership.
Izuna is now helplessly smitten. It ends up saving his life, because at one point, their confrontation was getting too heated, but Izuna wasn't ready to go to the next stage of their relationship, so he ended up retreating. (The foreplay was too much for him to handle.)
new headcanon that tobirama says insanely romantic shit by complete accident.
tbrm : you know that ruby that the third princess of usushio owns and that is estimated to be one of the most beautiful items in the world?? mh. your eyes kinda look like that when you activate your sharingan 🤨🤨
izuna : ?????????????
Please don't be mean. I cry when people are mean and I don't want to cry.
