I Don’t Watch House Md And I Never Will But I’m Very Interested In What Those Two Old Gay Men Have

For @casscainweek Day 3 (Jan. 22): Silence | Music

What’s it like to listen?

Cassandra did not live in a silent world when David was training. There were many sounds, fists against flesh, gunshots and blades being drawn and wielded.

It was a world she was used to. David never said he was proud, but Cassandra knew he was.

Now, she chooses not to think much about him. He had granted her these skills, but that was all he had given her beyond pain.

The world was louder now, she had to learn what voices were, what type of sound the voices were and what that meant. It was hard. Very hard. And it infuriated her. She wasn’t trained for this.

But, there was one sound she liked. Something that Barbara had given. She named them headphones. They faíce fed her ears and played a soothing tune of gentle… piano, yes.

It was easy to understand. The music was simple, she could close her eyes and focus on it. Barbara wasn’t always understanding, not knowing Cass was trying, and she wasn’t like her.

But this music was nice.

It was nice to have sounds she understood.

I hope this is good. I love Cass so much.

see it’s funny because those ‘what if jason or tim were actually biologically related to cass’ AUs are the type of silly fandom cooking that i actually enjoy it’s just i can’t enjoy it in This fandom because every single one of those is just a way to interject tim or jason into cass’s backstory to give them more whumpies and they never like. actually care about cass as a character

And then on the other side of the spectrum it’s just artists finding increasingly unique ways to hide the hands in drawings

nobody warns you that writing makes you obsessed with hands. what are they doing? are they trembling? are they clenched? are they—

Headcanon that Billy doesn’t say “I swear to god” or any variation of that cause if he says that and then breaks the promise, the gods in his head won’t stop nagging him about it until he fixes it

What. What does this mean? I’m scared

My headcanon for Cass's voice is that when she's having a normal conversation with you she keeps her sentences short and her voice even, there's a hint of a New Jersey accent and a hint of something else that no one can get right because it's the accent that comes from having body language as your mother tongue.

But if you get her angry. If you make her hiss or scream or really use her vocal chords that spent most of her life never being used... It sounds like the gates of hell have opened and fear itself is coming right out of her throat. The raspy, growling anger, the way her voice breaks and cracks as she screams... Getting Cass angry is one of the most harrowing experiences of your life not just because she can kick your ass but because her rage vocalises like the sound of the harshest of violins played by the devil himself screeching in fury.

I think you should know that every time you update your drabbles on AO3 somebody alerts everyone in the Divine Discord server like a town crier and we all go “HURRAH!!”

You’re basically a celebrity, I love you please don’t blow up 🙏

One day you take on a fandom you know only by a single movie everyone apparently hates and the next you are vomiting fics for said fandom and learning all kinds of details along the way, always blows my mind to see how much people enjoy my admittedly sometimes wild and flat out random ideas. When I first started writing I didn't even know Billy and Mary were supposed to be twins or who Tawny was or even HOW was Billy's boss called (Mr. Morris), I just threw anything that came to mind without expecting actual feedback. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect it to blow up as it did

Very grateful for all the support and positive feedback from my readers ⚡🌟🐅⚡🌟🐅 Gonna keep that screenshot if you don't mind, haven't been this popular since the day I was born

if you were at your worst, if you’re a villain or a screwup or whatever, there is a goth man dressed as a giant bat who keeps coming after you, bothering you. he sabotages your journey of self destruction over and over. ur ready to give up but he won’t let you. you think, today he won’t come. today he will give up on me too. he never does.
