I’ve never seen any Doctor Who, but Anita Dobson is in it and I just found out she’s the same person as Lady Anita May???? AS IN BRIAN MAY’S WIFE??!!!!

I DIDNT EVEN KNOW SHE WAS AN ACTRESS and now I find this info out from Brian May’s Instagram, where I get all my news

Why does no one tell me these things

Lady Anita Dobson/May at ICON awards 2023 👑✨️

Her outfit was too gorgeous for me and I really HAD to draw her 🥰💖 It's my first attempt at drawing her nowadays not in a chibi version and I'm pretty happy of the result, I really hope you'll like it as well 💕💕💕 Her gown has been a great challenge to draw but I'm happy of it as well, I didn’t want to copy exactly one of the photos but I tried for a new one.

I really really hope you'll like this! Please do not repost, while reblogs and comments are very welcomed! 💖

Y'know, it's so funny to me when people make out like Tim Drake would keep files on how to take down his friends when Tim has explicitly said he disagrees with Batman on this:

[Young Justice (1998) #36]

Like, yes, during his Red Robin tenure he does make a Hit List full of contingency plans for known heroes. But if you go and read that, you'll notice that, while the Justice League and Damian may be on there, Tim's own friends are decidedly absent:

[Red Robin (2009) #14]

In fact, a lot of these heroes are people that have either (a) attacked Tim specifically, (b) have a track record that includes turning evil/getting mind controlled, or (c) are on the JLA (meaning Batman probably already had those files compiled and Tim just stole them).

So yeah: Tim's not down with contingency-planning for his friends. You know which one of the YJ crew DID agree with Batman though? My favorite blorbina Anita Fite, aka Empress:

[Young Justice (1998) #36]

But yeah, this contrast is honestly fascinating to me. Because while both Anita and Tim have been shown to be incredibly loyal individuals, this exchange really highlights the fact that, between the two of them, Anita is far more likely to engage in this kind of pragmatism when she thinks it's necessary to get the job done

The whole Our Worlds at War arc actually does a really good job of illustrating how both of them react to betrayal from within. It's not just the Batman Files conflict either -- I'm thinking specifically about the hallucination-based torture Granny Goodness put them through, which showed them their worst fears. Most of the team ended up having to watch their loved ones die, but what's super interesting to me is that we really only see Anita and Tim hallucinate that their loved ones blame them for their deaths:

[Young Justice (1998) #37]

Like. It's not the same as a teammate turning evil at all. But it does give us a good idea of how they'd both react when faced with a friend or teammate doing harmful things, albeit on a smaller scale. Because where Tim kind of just accepts Superboy yelling at him and moves straight into bargaining for Kon's life, Anita actually flips the script, gets angry, and defends herself against her father:

[Young Justice (1998) #37]

(she actually gets so righteously pissed off that she manages to break out of the VR simulation Granny Goodness had her trapped in, but that's another point)

But yeah, it's super interesting, because by this point, both Anita and Tim have been set up to be very similar characters. They both can be a little bit obsessive, they both have some issues with boundaries and stalking (Tim with Nightwing and Batman, Anita with Cissie), and of the team, they're both portrayed as the "normal" members (Anita does technically have mind control powers but she barely ever uses them, and in a fight, she's basically just a very good, human-level fighter)

But at the end of the day, though Batman forces Robin to put on a cool front of objectivity, Tim (at least in his pre-grief-spiral era) ultimately wants to see the best in his team. When the people he cares about screw up, he wants to give them second chances. And when that trust gets broken, his first instinct is to try to use diplomacy, or, failing that, simply remove himself from the situation (as we see at the end of the Our Worlds at War arc when he quits the team)

Anita, on the other hand, while still incredibly loyal, does not hand out that loyalty unconditionally. We see this when she tries to keep her identity secret from the YJ squad, we see it when she gets pissed in Granny Goodness's hallucination when her father blames her for her mother's death, and we see it when she later blames Secret for her perceived role in Anita's father's death

Anita also happens to sit right smack dab in the middle of the YJ morality scale; while she's generally pretty chill and willing to abide by typical superhero codes of ethics (unlike Slobo and Secret), she's also been shown to bend those rules when she believes it's necessary (as seen here when she tortures and threatens to kill a man for trying to hurt Cissie). Ultimately, what this means is, between Tim and Anita, it's honestly Anita who'd probably be the most willing to put her personal qualms aside, buckle down, and go against her loved ones if it was the only reasonable option

Anyway. This is a really long-winded way of saying I think Gun Batman's biggest nemesis should be Empress

young just us: the game 👾

based off of the scott pilgrim video game, i wanted to play around with the idea of what the yj98 team would look like in the same style.. mostly i just wanted to draw everybody as silly little pixel sprites

(character sprite pngs + mount justice landscape under cut)

[feyres-divorce-lawyer]

Finally I’ve gathered my thoughts enough to write a synopsis!

AKA explaining the context of Amnesia in Alloy, enjoy :>

Metal Sonic doesn’t quite remember why he wants to be the one true Sonic. He’s been destroyed and rebuilt so many times that those memories have escaped him years ago. For a long time it never really bothered him; it was part of his programming after all. But one day during a battle, Sonic asks for an explanation. Unable to answer, Metal short circuits. Waking up still in his cold metal body and alone at headquarters, Metal feels like something is wrong. Not with his programming, but something else. Someone else. Someone they used to be.

Tania Parlouzer went missing 7 years ago, and ever since Sonic has been searching for her. The only thing left behind from her disappearance were her favorite pair of earrings, and ever since Sonic has held onto them in hopes that one day he can return them to his little sister. As the years go by and he makes new friends(and enemies), being a hero became the main priority for him. He never did stop passively looking for her though, even as her face has largely faded from his own memory. 

Little does Sonic know that she’s been hiding in plain sight, still looking up to him just like she always has.

guys. i’ve got it. 73 Yards lady is Mrs Flood.

distracted by the omnipresent Susan Twist appearances, we all conveniently forgot about her since Christmas.

“Hilary Hobson” = Anita Dobson

say it ain’t so

bonus evidence: in the teaser clip, 15 says “it never ends, the war between the land and sea”. what do we call a “war” between water and land where the water’s winning? a Flood.

if mrs flood doesn’t turn out to be the most complex, narrative-changing character in doctor who, i’ll riot.

Thinking about how Kon must feel about Clark being able to be a father for Jon but not for him

Thinking about how Bart must feel about Wally being able to be a father for Irey but not for him

Thinking about how Cissie must feel about her mom being able to be a mom for her once she was basically grown up, but not for her when she was younger

Thinking about how Anita must feel about her dad not being allowed to fully be a father until her grandmother (whom she loved) passed

Thinking about how Tim must feel…

Just love how Anita Dobson showing up to the Doctor Who premiere with her musician husband is blowing a lot of fans minds

[gnomewithalaptop]

Hmmm.... Young Justice '98 Star Wars AU? Yes? Is this anything?

Look. Just. Hear me out. They all fit in so well. We got:

- experimental Kaminoan Clone-of-a-Jedi-Master Kon-El (who may or may not have an Order 66 Chip stuck in his head)

- Pre Clone Wars Era Padawan Bart Allen, who spontaneously time traveled to the future one day because he fucked around a little too hard with Lothal's Time Cave and then immediately found out (in his defense it was at least 30% Max's fault)

- Rebels-Era Padawan Cassie Sandsmark, who's off doing espionage shit for the Rebellion under the spotty tutelage of the top-secret spy master known only as Troia (she keeps hearing whispers about some kind of new weapons program -- something the higher-ups have been calling "Project Stardust")

- Just-Some-Guy New Mandalorian Tim Drake who stole his dead neighbor's armor and has been wreaking havoc on Imperial shipments ever since (he claims it's more complicated than that, but it really isn't)

Like. They're all off living completely different plots that shouldn't intercept at all, except somehow they keep on running into each other
