#DC Co-lab

[bet-on-me-13]

The Fentonworks Mega-Lab.

So! AU where the Fentonworks Labs actually stretch Miles upon Miles below the City of Amity Park.

It started when the Fentons wanted to add a simple addition to the original Lab when they ran out of space to store their more dangerous weapons. They didn't want their (at the time) young children getting their hands on their experimental Weaponry, it could blow up in their faces!

So they built a different Wing of the Lab to hold all those Inventions.

Then they ran out of space and added a few extra Storage Rooms. But then they decided it was a hassle to have to carefully transport their Dangerous Inventions all the way to the Storage Rooms, and built a Lab specifically for Dangerous Experiments near that same Section. Then that Lab was occupied for a while, and Jack wanted to start a different experiment as well, so they built a few more.

In the end they just never stopped building onto their Labs.

There are sections of the Mega-Lab that are entirely walled off because a few of their more unstable Experiments contaminated the area. Walking into them was not recommended, else you could walk out with an extra eye or 5.

In other sections, their Captured Ghosts had taken over a few Labs and created a sort of Mad Max style civilization using their discarded weapons and vehicles.

In another, all Ghosts became Humans and all Humans became Ghosts. That was a weird one, to this day they still didn't understand how they pulled that off.

In another, some type of Eldritch Time Ghost had been born, and now sort of always existed and never existed, and began experimenting with its powers. They nicknamed it Clocky because it liked to carry around a stopwatch.

And so many more. At one point a failed Portal Experiment messed with the internal Space of the entire thing. Now there was literally no way of Mapping it. The Fentons still somehow managed to navigate it perfectly.

When Jazz and Danny grew up, they too learned how to navigate the Labs, which is how Danny managed to show his friends the Portal Experimentation Wing in the first place.

Unfortunately, it wasn't safe for anyone aside from the Fentons to enter the Mega-Labs, so one day when the Fenton Family+friends left town on a Week Long Camping/Road Trip, they put up a few Ghost Shields to keep both Humans out and the Ghosts in.

This drew some unwanted attention after some tourists saw the giant Glowng Green Building in the middle of an Illinois Town, and rightfully called the Justice League.

Now, the Justice League had tried to call the owners of the house, but nobody picked up the phone. (An incident with Jack and a Canoe had knocked most of their phones into the lake. They weren't even at the lake yet.)

When nobody picked up, they decided to investigate personally.

After getting into the House, they quickly found a door labeled "Labs: Do Not Enter (unless it we are late for Dinner)" and went into ignoring all the warnings.

They quickly regretted it.

[autisticsupervillain]

One thing I don't see talked about often enough in DP Crossovers is the fact that Vlad has been supervillaining for awhile already by the time he met Danny. Like, if DP and DC shared a universe the whole time, he'd absolutely have had run ins with other heroes by now.

Vlad Masters inexplicable got super rich and bought out a bunch of companies for dirt cheap not long after recovering from a mysterious lab accident. He'd get pegged as a supervillain in five seconds as soon as any hero looked into him. Given his unique resources, he'd likely be a known threat and legion of doom member before he even met Danny.

I wonder how most of the superhero and supervillain community would react to seeing Vlad pull out his most monsterous behavior and destructive plots to spite a relatively young teen hero who showed up a year ago at max. I mean, cloning and human experimentation, unleashing gods of evil on the world (twice), rigging local elections to turn the town into his personal fiefdom, setting million dollar bounties on children, leaving someone to be burned alive by Salem witch hunters, etc. Against other foes, Vlad is a pretty typical cocky supervillain, but when Jack and Danny are involved he can reach Reverse Flash levels of petty.

I don't subscribe to the idea that ghosts would be unbeatable god-like beings in DC (if you don't think Superman can bare handed punch a ghost, you don't know much about Superman), but Vald's definitely capable of being a mid-high tier threat when he wants to. He and Lex definitely trade kryptonite and ecto weapons behind closed doors. I want to see the looks of horror (or, worse, begrudging respect) that Vlad's co-workers at the Legion give him when they see how overboard he's willing to go against this one specific up and coming teenager.

DC AU: The Batfamily Part 2

Up until present day, The Black Bat and Tiny Titan have continued to defeat criminals in New York City. When not fighting a gallery of rogues, they co-lead the United Society of Heroes, a group of D.C. alumni such as Keyhole (Doorman), The Vendor (Hot Dog Dan), and Whizzer (Mercury).

While they are still running Keynes-Hill Industries, they've also settled down in some ways. They were wed and have two daughters. The oldest by one year is Jessica, the biological daughter of Barbara and a surrogate father. Their second child is Aeon, adopted by the family as a infant after being the sole survivor of her parent's lab fire.

Jess took after Barbara in terms of a desire to give back and punish those who hurt the people of Gotham. It's why she was trained in the martial arts from a young age, eventually becoming her mother's most frequent protege as The Grey Bat. She did take from Olympia in terms of a wittier slightly more optimistic attitude when in the cape and cowl.

Aeon preferred to stay by Olympia's side in terms of heroism. She clearly kept the iq of her parents, excelling at science and robotics. However, while she eventually became the shrinking superhero Swarm with the help of a suit her and Olympia made, Aeon was initially reluctant and doubtful. Aeon was diagnosed with autism and misophonia at a young age, making it hard for her to deal with loud noises, bright lights and being touched without her consent. She also worried about what to do without a list. This was handled by creating special noise-filtering headphones for her suit, as well as making an AI to remind Aeon what tasks needed to be completed.

Two other wards were taken on by The Black Bat, Beck King and Zoe Lee. Beck had been born into a government family and as a result, was used to sleeping with one eye open. It didn't make it any more shocking when their parents were murdered while the family was attending a circus. Barbara was able to save Beck from being shot, and vowed to take the child in, making sure he had a home in the Keynes-Hill manor. It was here where they bonded not just with their new caretakers in Barbara and Olympia, but became an older sibling-figure to Jess and Aeon and eventually Zoe. They were trained by the Black Bat, eventually becoming her first ward as Knight (they eventually changed to Nightking after graduating D.C.) Zoe had been the product of fashion mogul Audrey Bourgeois's private affair with Mr. Lee. While she had grown up in a life of relative luxury due to landing an acting gig for the show Ninja Force as a kid, she only gained true happiness when learning how to fight at the same dojo Jessica studied at. They became the best of chums, even if Jess would always be the better fighter while Zoe focused more on stealth and acrobatics. She eventually earned her spot on the team after having the wits to place a tracker on kidnappers after they grabbed her for ransom. Black Bat and Grey Bat swooped in, busted a big crime ring, assisted by Zoe who managed to get in a few good hits. Zoe became Rouge, completing the terrific trio that assists The Black Bat.

And that's Part 2! I decided to make Human!Aeon autistic as I happen to be on the spectrum and I hope I did a decent job with it. I would really love to hear your thoughts on each part and lemme know in detail in the comments and reblogs. @artzychic27 @msweebyness @nerdy-chocomallow

[carterstarlight25]

Hi everyone! So I been thinking hard on a rather unique 3way crossover that I been considering about writing. Please feel free to give me your input.

The 3 way crossover consist of DC x DP x Halo Infinite. With the ships being Jason and Danny (Obviously). Master Chief and Bruce as the second ship to be included. And Tim Simping for Katrina. (Cortana 2.0 from Infinite)

I see these possible dynamics being cute as Chief will learn how to be human, and how to love. Him and Team Phantom Finding Family. Also I don't mean the bull Chief pulled in the god awful Halo TV Show!

Bruce will learn that killing isn't an act of God. It isn't you kill once, and become a mindless murderer. That there is a difference, between a Soldier doing his duty to protect humanity and his loved ones. And a mindless killer, enjoying the horror of its victims as the bleed out with please for mercy. Effectively stealing their innocent lives... Oh also learn to not be as emotionally constipated after Katrina effectively out smarts him into a therapy session with Jazz Nightingale. (Last name changed after she saved Danny from the their parents lab…)

Danny will learn what it means to be apart of a family. And how screwed the GIW are.~

Jason, finds out he’s ghost pregnant and a heavy underdeveloped Halfa. All while the Pit becomes a full ghost that he ends up birthing. Which is gonna be a Dinosaur that will be Jason’s “Nightmare.” To his Fright Knight. (I am really wanting to go for Altispinax, or Spinax Vivosaur from Fossil Fighters series. But idk, might just use the Giga from Jurassic World Dominion. Just to change it up from what I seen people have the Pits become.

How Chief comes into the story however, would be introduced via Clockwork leaving a very obviously placed Halo Infinite Xbox Game case with a unmarked disc inside it. In an Alley Danny was taking refuge in. With a sticky note of course. And a few chapters in, when he was alone in Wayne Manor decided to play the game. And by Play. I mean go ghost and jump into the game. But of course. With his Fabulous Phantom Luck (trademark pending.) A new power began to make itself known as the code latched on him on his way out. Bringing Master Chief and Katrina to life in the real world, with all his memories and Katrina with the entire UNSC Database.)

While that’s how I plan to bring in Chief and Co. the main gist of this will be an all out battle, to destroy the GIW. Outlaws, Sirens, Chief and the entire Batfam Team up.

Despite the JL repealing the Anti Ecto Acts. A few Private donors continue to find them to get their hands on Ectoplasm. The League of Assassin’s, Lex Luthor. And of Course Vlad Masters will be the main villains connected to the GIW.

I can see Jason and Chief getting along like wildfire. And when Bruce finds out Jason is one leading the squad his kids, trying to get them to go on a date with Master Chief. It leads to some funny moments I would think. And of course can’t forget Chief reluctantly surprise appearance in Civies at one of Bruce’s Gala’s. (I kinda wanna make him wear Olive Green suit and dress pants. Black Bow Tie with a white under suit. Black belt. And an Olive Green Military Cap to hide his Neural Implant. Maybe having all his Medals from the service pinned to his chest. At least the ones that match ones in this universe. So not all of them obviously.

And Jason would absolutely catch his father freeze up when he sees the handsome Spartan.

For looks regarding Chief’s face since we don’t know what he looks like. I was thinking Caucasian Male, short brown hair that could be the right height to spike it up at least. Not a complete buzz cut. Rather bright blue eyes. That do not glow like Danny’s. But at least around that color. Of course he will have some scars on his left Temple, his lip and across his right eye. Freckles too. His muscle mass would of course be a bit more built then Jason. Which says something. But, you know. Super Soldier and all. (Update: I did in-fact Draw it ^^. If you want to see. Let me know if you wanna see Master Chief in a suit at the Gala ^^)

The Ages I was gonna go for was as follows.

Alfred: Immortal (Thanks Clockwork!)

John (Master Chief): 46yrs (I know it’s not his cannon Age. But it’s what I want for the story.)

Bruce: 45yrs

Barbara: 29yrs

Dick: 26yrs

Jazz: 21yrs

Jason: 21yrs

Cass: 20yrs

Sam: 20yrs

Danny: 19yrs

Duke: 19yrs

Steph: 19yrs

Tucker: 19yrs

Val: 19yrs

Tim: 18yrs

Ellie: 14yrs

Damien: 12yrs

Katrina: 6 months old

And that’s the little Fanfic I been thinking about. Of course it’s just an idea. but I think it would be fun to write.

Fatherhood - Year One

by Blue_Crow757 Of all the things Clark thought he might find while snooping around one of Luthor's labs on the outskirts of Washington, he expected maybe some kryptonite. But what he found was something far more unexpected. A Kryptonian... or at least, what seemed like one. A newborn, tiny and vulnerable, crying helplessly, shaking him to his core. * Bruce, exhausted after a long night battling the Riddler, returns to the Batcave hoping for some rest, only to be met with an unexpected sight: Superman sitting on the floor, cradling a crying infant. Normally, Bruce would keep his distance when it comes to children that aren’t his, but given the baby’s apparent Kryptonian origins, he can’t just walk away.

[evamei]

The Greek Gods are still around, but they look a little different now.

Aphrodite is a social media influencer living in California, she makes videos with little sparkles in the titles. They're all some variation of “The BEST outfits for summer” or “This is what you say to get a first date”. It's all run of the mill relationship or fashion advice mostly but every once in a while other types of videos pops up. The one that shocks everyone is when the normally sweet tempered girl flips on a dime and rages against the world restricting the right to love whoever you want. That is one thing she can't sit idly by and watch.

Apollo spends his weeks straining his eyes in a research lab in New York. He keeps trying to make medicines to heal all of humanity's ailments but it seems like for every one he fixes four more pop up. He over works himself until he crashes out. He drags himself to his apartment and sits in the quiet, he's always been flighty but he hadn't cared until now, when he goes from being surrounded by friends and co-workers to the loud quiet. His eyes droop but he still manages to click on the TV. The price of prescriptions has jumped up again, it's impossible for so many people to get what they want or need nowadays, all of his work feels like it's for nothing. He curls up on the couch, using an arm as a pillow and closes his eyes against the migraine forming. Maybe he'll take tomorrow off and try to see if enough inspiration will strike to write a song, he has no doubt that if he did it would go viral for a few weeks.

Hades and Persephone live a simple life. Hades owns a funeral home and Persephone a flower shop. They laugh at how it's a little on the nose for them. They enjoy the small Appalachian town though, it's quaint and flourishes every year for tourist season. They have a big great dane named Cerberus. It's not perfect, Hades still carries the weight of the dead and Persephone is still dragged off to her overbearing mother every year but they both know it could be worse. They hold hands and walk through antique stores, watching as the world changes around them but they stay the same.

Demeter lives in Alabama in an old plantation style home. She hires farm hands to work the fields, sometimes she goes and joins them when she starts missing the dirt under her fingernails. On lazy afternoons she sits and rocks on her porch drinking sweet tea, she's always watching down the road waiting for her daughter to come home for good even though by now she knows that won't happen. When she sees mothers with their little girls she can't help but think about everywhere she went wrong. Maybe if she hadn't held on so tight…maybe if she'd given Hades a chance…maybe, maybe, maybe. Then she sees the story of another young flower of a girl murdered by her husband, sees the man get away with it; the anger and fear floods back in and all she can think about is her estranged daughter.

Zuce is a politician living in DC. Almost everyone hates him and it's eating him alive. He'll make a play for power, stripping an area of resources, removing disaster areas to allow large companies to come in and build bigger, more expensive house complexes, banning apps for profit; he thinks people will praise him but they always do the exact opposite. He's so out of touch with the way the 21st century works that he's turned to refusing to try and understand anymore. He can't wrap his head around the way people care more about being good than being powerful. He hits in his office everyday and watches the news for hours as they bash him in the press.

Hera is never home, always traveling from country to country. Technically she's an online marriage counselor but that can be done from anywhere and her husband sends her monthly allowances. She can't stand to be home with him so she never goes home. She's one of the few Olympians that still goes back to Greece. The first time she's almost crushed by the way time has moved on. Temples in ruins or completely gone. Shards of pottery in glass classes. It's the first time she realizes just how much time has passed and the weight of the years weigh down on her shoulders.

Artemis sits in the quiet of a winter forest. She's surrounded by her hunters still, the only Olympian that had the good sense to bring immortal followers with her. She owns a big cabin, they still hunt for food, still live off the land. She reaches out to her family sometimes, feels an aching pain when she sees Apollo through his brief video calls. Watches as the world slowly drains the ones that tried to keep up with it.

Hades and Persephone make sense, they are life and death, they know how to move on and let the world flow around them like silk. The rest feel time grating against their bones, finding new trends fitting uncomfortably, all of their old stories being twisted. Artemis thinks that she'd follow suit with the rest of them if she didn't see Hestia so often. The girl burns brighter than ever, and Artemis knows there is still hope in the world.

Because the Greek Gods are still around, but just like humans they are changed by the world, and just like humans they will persist through the good and the bad.

OOC

When you first came up with the idea for the OPN did you have a through story in mind? I love the in universe Q&A with added bits of world building and events. I'm just curious what your plan was vs where we are now?

To the world building side, is the OPN one central physical site with satellite locations? In my head it's laid out a bit like a college campus with different departments having their own spaces.

Thank you so much for creating something so fun.

For the first question, I touched on it a little earlier, but I’ll add that the big “storyline” I had intended the players in the OPN TTRPG to unravel is more or less intact as the backstory to the blog. (LA, etc.) there was a big change suggested by my co-writer, Jenny’s writer, but after I developed more of my old ideas that plot migrated pretty early on.

There’s dozens of locations throughout the United States, but many of them are just one small office with what amounts to social workers and a few O-Sec staff, in order to help local extranormal folks with resources or guidance. There’s fewer bigger locations, probably about a dozen in major cities, and the biggest is the DC location, where Norm’s office is and a lot of the story stuff takes place. That site is, yeah, a bit like a campus. DC doesn’t have everything, they don’t have a Parafiction department for example, but it has a lot of different labs and offices. Norm’s is down the hall from Holistic Theology. There’s also a few locations that are strictly scientific or industrial - we’ll learn about the latter in an interview soon.

Thank you so much for reading and supporting <3

More Chase/Kaz headcanons

•Kaz is very much into alternative music, albeit more popular bands like Fall Out Boy and Rise Against. Spike is into it too but leaning more metalcore and screamo.

°It freaks Adam the fuck out when he goes down to the lab and finds Spike jamming out to some Ice Nine Kills while training.

°Although Adam and Kaz do find it funny because in "Communion of the Cursed" one of their lyrics is literally "Get on your knees and prove your worth."

°Speaking of Spike, Chase learns to control him a lot better when they're older so he doesn't come out as much anymore, but that leaves the times Spike does come out into full blown tantrums.

°Chase would never admit it out loud but that part of him does need attention too and really only comes out when Spike doesn't feel like he's getting enough.

°Kaz has learned that the only way to get through to Spike is to talk calmly to him and as he would to Chase. Which he just sees Spike as a part of his boyfriend, no different.

•Adam is big into country music but he's not elitist about it. In fact, he would love the "This ain't Texas" Beyoncé song.

•There isn't an Elite Force for long. Mighty Med eventually gets rebuilt and Kaz realizes he can't save the heroes if he's being one.

°It might stem from insecurity about not being sure he can 100 percent control his powers or that he's just more comfortable doing the background work.

°Either way, it's all a group decision to split the Elite Force, although Skylar with join Bree on missions sometimes.

°Kaz would be lying if he didn't admit he missed being a part of a team, but being part of Mighty Med soon became a team to him and even a family.

•Somehow, I'm not sure how, they are connected to the Henry Danger universe.

•Kaz "proposed" to Chase with a RingPop like all cringe babygays.

•Their actual wedding had A-list superheroes and company owners, much to Chase chagrin who wanted a small wedding.

•But Kaz made it up to him by flying him across the city and to the Bionic Island.

°Which, it was the thought that counts because Chase is terrified of heights.

•So I don't know if this is obvious, buy the Davenport kids aren't robots. They're humans just with bionic abilities. So I'm guessing in the way I'm seeing things their chips are sorta like a prosthetic if that make sense. I don't know. Feel free to correct me.

°If we're going by that sense of logic, then having bionic chips for super speed or what have you would become more common in the future, albeit for rich people.

°It definitely would make Chase insecure that there are more bionic people but also feel more welcomed into the world then standing on the outside. As for Adam and Bree too.

°But these newer bionics have upgraded systems and overall better functioning for them. They don't glitch as often, rarely with this new tech rolling out, and it embrasses all three of them when they glitch in public because of how old their chips are getting.

°Speaking of glitching, although Kaz isn't an engineer, anytime any one of the glitches he will take them back to the mansion to help Davenport and combine engineering with his medical knowledge. And as they get older it only gets worse.

°Once on a mission, all three of them simultaneously glitched and Kaz could hear it on his radio to them. He immediately called an ambulance to Mighty Med. Although Skylar yelled at him for not just flying over there.

•Kaz is CONVINCED Tony Stark once came in for his reactor messing up.

•When they're in their early 20's, Kaz shoots up taller than Chase to around Adam's height but he likes to joke he's secretly Elastic-Man and be any height he wants.

•Kaz refuses to take a side on the DC/Marvel debate although he will talk for HOURS about how the MCU is deteriorating.

•Skylar and Bree have some pretty sick cosplays of Vision and Wanda though while Kaz goes as Captain America and Chase goes as Bucky Barnes.

°Leo goes as Loki and tries to convince Adam to go as Thor but he goes as Groot instead. And of course, Donald goes a millionaire Playboy Tony Stark.

•Kaz is, of course, everyone's personal heater but he can not stand any of the eighty blankets Chase keeps around him to sleep.

°So they made a deal, only, like, two blankets but to keep them on Chase's side, that way Kaz can still be his personal heater.

•Kaz hates summer but he loves the pool... just not what it does to his powers. (Not to mention it takes an hour or two to come back.)

•Once, to piss Kaz off on his birthday, Chase individually wrapped each page of a comic book.

°But it was better than the time he used actual comic book pages as wrapping paper.

•Chase and Adam have autism while Kaz has ADHD.

•All three of the Davenkids can NOT sleep in darkness. Probably because they grew up sleeping in capsule, but neither can Kaz or Skylar. Kaz because obviously his powers are fire ability and it would scare him shitless if he woke up randomly in the middle of the night and couldn't summon a flame. And Skylar because it's just how she grew up on her planet.

°Chase figured out a way he wouldn't need to sleep in his capsule anymore but still sometimes does one for familiarity, two for when he's mad at Kaz.

•Also, all Davenkids have done animal therapy at least once (including Leo) and actually got it integrated into Mighty Med. That's how most of the superheroes ended up with their animal sidekicks.

•As he gets older Kaz accepts he's not going to be on the frontlines as a superhero but begins to get comfortable with that as he becomes more concerned with being a doctor.

•Kaz sometimes gets full on Will Solace from Percy Jackson mode. "Doctor's orders" and literally having to drag Chase away from his projects to go to sleep.

Let me know if you guys want more of these!

[loki-who-remains]

I really loved the title of the latest episode, so without further ado let's dive into science and fiction of the TVA. This is all so interesting.

The Loom exploded, apparently annihilating a bunch of timelines that were going through it. And after that went to a fail safe mode, restored and continued to weave like before: see the spinning input ring:

The same ring was moving slow in s2e1:

and completely stuck before the meltdown in s2e4:

Its explosion reset people at the TVA to respective branched timelines. I'm not sure 'the nexus event' is even a thing anymore, but Loki appearing to every one of them could be considered a nexus event if they existed on the Sacred timeline

Quick note before I forget. Time doors and time cubes are of the same nature. I guess if you were somehow to be stuck inside a time door you'd be squished. Another interesting duality of how to use the same tech: to traverse spacetime or to torture and violently kill.

Time cubes are old and have scratchy look, just like the first timedoors OB managed to open. Modern time doors look polished. Probably the old tech was repurposed into torturing devices by Miss Minutes someone else.

AC/DC AD/OB's 'lab':

Is this room safe? For the wormhole or the quantum...? This hole area is totally abandoned. No one's around for miles

OB, area being abandoned doesn't mean it's safe for any wormholes, especially for any people near it. Not even sure about whatever quantum stuff is going on.

But the building isn't random, the room is the same, just repainted. There's even the same chequered pattern on the floor though really faded. Is the TVA on Earth in a time bubble? The Loom has to be on the same level as R&A, so the TVA founders would expand around that abandoned building.

Which would mean that the infinite city around the TVA is an illusion. Or a side effect of the TVA being in some sort of a time bubble.

The question remains of how the Loom fits in with all of it. We've seen it exist suspended in, again, a seemingly infinite space. Let's say, its very construction can attract and visualise the raw time-matter (I'm still in denial of time being a matter, no matter how much I sciencefiction it in my head). When you look closely you see that timeline threads take shape the closer they are to the input ring of the Loom. But where do the weaved output timelines go? Do they go around, surrounding the TVA in a circle? And then inevitably branch, become formless and chaotic and have to be weaved back again?

Let's imagine that the TVA sits in the centre of time which flows around it and being recycled and reordered so the timelines co-exist without damaging each other. The Loom powers the TVA, and since past, present and future exist all the time, it's a life-long power source, Timely's dream.

That would explain how HWR sits in a castle in the centre of a manufactured, isolated Sacred timeline. His tempad isn't of TVA design. Was he inspired or did he just invade the TVA and steal their concepts and ideas? (Despite being himself involved with the creation of the Loom) Repurposed time doors into time cubes. Reshaped a multiverse protecting team of people into a purely bureaucratic time police.

Modern Helaegon AU

Aegon and Helaena first started dating in highschool. They ran in the same social circle with Aegon being an emo pot head and Helaena being the weird but smart but girl.

In junior year, Helaena got pregnant and decided to keep the babies. The two had twins, Jaehaerys and Jaeheara, in the summer between Junior and Senior year.

Helaena and Aegon tried to stay together as a couple but decided that they wanted different things in life. The twins stayed with Helaena and her parents (Alicent mom and Criston step-dad) and visited Aegon and his family (to keep them unrelated it’s Viserys dad and Aemma mom with sister Rhaenyra) on every other weekend.

Aegon dropped out of highschool and tried to start a band with his friends but started to languish without purpose in life.

Helaena went on to graduate highschool with honors, get accepted into a top tier university for entomology, completing her PhD.

As the twins grow up, Jaehaerys becomes very popular and outgoing competing in a lot of sports and after school activities. Jaehaera keeps to herself and starts to get into her dad’s old rock music. Aegon will take the twins for a car ride and play AC/DC while singing along and Jaehaera starts head banging to it while Jaehaerys just covers his ears.

Aegon decides that he need to step up for his kids and be a better co-parent for Helaena. He finishes his GED and starts an apprenticeship with a sound engineer. He gets pretty good at his job and begins writing music for bands and sometimes steps in to add different instruments of the band is missing someone to play it.

Aegon and Helaena reconnect and fall back into love as they’ve grown up and are able to connect more deeply. They get back together and have Maelor! The twins are around 10 when Maelor is born.

Helaena takes Maelor to her lab instead of a daycare cause she loves her baby and doesn’t want him leaving her side. Baby Maelor also tries to eat some bugs and needs a play pen prison to keep him safe. Aegon teaches Maelor to play the drums and the baby ends up breaking the drum sticks a few times.

Aegon wants his kids to learn to play different instruments and teaches Jaehaera how to play the guitar and sing while Jaehaerys likes playing classic piano.

Justice Warriors

Today (May 22), I’m keynoting Public Knowledge’s Emerging Tech conference in DC.

Tomorrow (May 23), I’ll be in TORONTO for a book launch for Red Team Blues that’s part of WEPFest, a benefit for the West End Phoenix, onstage with Dave Bidini (The Rheostatics), Ron Diebert (Citizen Lab) and the whistleblower Dr Nancy Olivieri.

The internet did not create Matt Bors, but the internet would be a much poorer place without Bors and his acerbic, scorchingly funny webcomics, which he publishes at The Nib (a site he founded), amongst some of the web’s most iconic humor:

https://thenib.com/

Founding The Nib and creating a home for all those great webcomics would be legacy enough for one creator, but Bors monumental accomplishment with The Nib is topped by his savage creation, Mr Gotcha, the single most effective rebuttal to the most annoying Reply Guys on the whole internet:

https://thenib.com/mister-gotcha/

Dayenu: if he had only founded The Nib, it would be enough. If he had only created Mr Gotcha, it would be enough. But Bors continues to amaze and delight. In Justice Warriors, a graphic novel he co-produced with Ben Clarkson, we get a distillate of all the weird, crazed things both grotesque and lovable about the net of a thousand lies:

Justice Warriors is what you’d get if you put Judge Dredd in a blender with Transmetropolitan and set it to chunky. The setup: the elites of a wasted, tormented world have retreated into Bubble City, beneath a hermetically sealed zone. Within Bubble City, everything is run according to the priorities of the descendants of the most internet-poisoned freaks of the modern internet, click- and clout-chasing mushminds full of corporate-washed platitudes about self-care, diversity and equity, wrapped around come-ons for sugary drinks and dubious dropshipper crapola.

Outside of Bubble City is the Unoccupied Zone, which is very much occupied with a teeming assortment of motley mutants, themselves gripped by endless crazes, fads, and trending subjects. The Uzzers are Bubble City’s hated underclass, viciously policed by the Bubble City cops, who mow them down with impunity, crying about their impending PTSD as they work the trigger.

Justice Warriors is a cop buddy-story dreamed up by Very Online, very angry creators who live in a present-day world where reality is consistently stupider than satire. As Bors told Cy Beltran in Comics Beat, “The current moment is so many things at once, it’s an omni-crisis of politics and attention — that’s what felt important to tap into, that sense of frenzy you can barely keep up with.”

https://www.comicsbeat.com/matt-bors-justice-warriors-interview/

That’s the feeling of Justice Warriors, all right. As Bors puts it, they tackle “social media derangement, celebrity culture, investment schemes, mass movements, and A.I.” in a tale with more sight-gags, densely packed literary references, and savage takedowns per page than anything you’ve ever read.

The art in this book is spectacular, styled a bit like those ultra-busy Al Jaffee full-page MAD Magazine spreads, or the Moss Eisley Cantina, or the wild alien scenes from Ben Hatke’s YA classic Zita the Space Girl kids’ graphic novels:

https://memex.craphound.com/2012/06/25/zita-the-space-girl-delightful-kids-science-fiction-comic-thats-part-vaughn-bode-part-mos-eisley-cantina/

But Justice Warriors is grosser, busier, and more frenetic than any of them. As Bors describes it, they created “a chaotic mutant-infested city that tops the most sensory-overloading cities in all of comics and animation.”

Justice Warriors is a mind-altering experience. If you liked Bubble, Jordan Morris and Sarah Morgan’s apocalyptic comedy podcast/graphic novel, you’ll love Justice Warriors:

This is a comic book the internet needs. In a century, when our mutant descendants wonder how it all went wrong, they can use Justice Warriors as a Rosetta Stone to make sense of the detritus of our civilization.

Marvel and Dc Matchup pls! Im a straight woman with brown hair and amber eyes, I wear glasses but dislike wearing them because I got bullied when I was younger because of them. Im very insecure about myself but will protect the ones I love,mostly im cheerfull but i also can be very sad quickly(moody) sometimes grumpy ( mostly in the morning). I'm easily worried and feel easily stressed. I will always do my best and always want to help people Kinda goofy and derpy sometimes. I also like to tease , I can be very pervy also and sometimes am a little socially awkward. I'm rather clingy to the ones I love. I do love animals, plants and games! I have sometimes migraine (but luckily enough not that much) INFJ , Hufflepuff . Tysm!

Hi! <33333

I'm sorry this took a hot minute to post!

I really hope you like your two matchups!

<3

(Also, I'm a Hufflepuff too!)

Romantic Matchups; Marvel and DC

~~~

Romantic;

~~~

Marvel;

Tony Stark -

You joined the Avengers as a consultant, offering your expertise in strategy and tech.

Your goofy demeanor immediately caught Tony's attention, as it was a breath of fresh air in the often serious environment of the team.

He was surprised Nick hired you, him being a very serious guy and all.

Tony actually accidentally hurt your feelings when he first met you.

It was completely unintentional.

He was just joking around.

But when you didn't crack a smile or laugh back, he knew he messed up.

And so, he apologized and offered to buy you a new car.

Your cheerful personality and occasional moodiness intrigued Tony, who would tease you endlessly but always knew when to stop - after that first meeting - and offer support when you were feeling down.

You'd play video games together in the common area.

Tony isn't the best at video games, but he loves playing Mario Kart with you.

You both are very competitive.

Your love for animals inspired Tony to adopt a rescue dog for you.

Which just turned into co-parenting the pup.

It was a fun bonding experience.

Tony would make it his mission to cheer you up whenever you were stressed, often dragging you to his lab to "help" with a new project, and get your mind off things.

If you are in the mood to go out, don't even think for a second Tony wouldn't take you out on the town!

If you are in a fancy mood, Tony will take you to extravagant restaurants and other such locations.

If you are in a chill mood, then expect nothing less than cuddling on the couch while watching your favorite movie in his in-home movie theater.

Yeah, friends can cuddle, and you and Tony cuddle a lot.

You'd help Tony maintain his plants in the Tower's greenhouse.

At first, when you brought up the greenhouse, Tony didn't even know what you were talking about.

Turns out there were a lot of rooms that he didn't know about.

There was a room in the Tower, on the 15th floor, that was just a trampoline park.

Anyway, you helped with those plants.

At this realization that you loved plants, Tony ended up calling you 'Flower' if he was along with you, and 'Green Thumb' when he was teasing you.

Tony started noticing how protective you were of him, especially when he pushed himself too hard.

Your worry and care warmed his little robot heart in ways he didn't expect.

You realized your feelings when Tony stayed up all night creating a migraine-relief device with Bruce just for you after you casually told him about your migraines.

The tension built up as your teasing turned softer and more personal, with lingering looks and small touches that neither of you acknowledged outright.

Even the cuddling grew more constant.

And there was just something different about it.

Tony's confession happened during a late-night conversation in his lab.

He was fiddling with a piece of tech while you rambled about your day.

And then, out of nowhere, he said, "You know, you're my favorite person, right?"

When you asked if he was joking, or teasing, or pulling your leg, he responded with, "No jokes this time. You mean a lot to me, and I'm pretty sure I'm in love with you."

He had said it so casually, you thought you were hearing things.

Tony would shower you with gifts - not just extravagant ones.

But thoughtful ones tailored to you and your likes, and personality.

Like a notebook for your plant sketches or a cozy blanket for your cuddle sessions and naps.

He loved waking you up in the morning with coffee, grinning at your grumpiness, and teasing you until you cracked a smile.

But he is quick to also bless you with good morning kisses.

Despite his playboy past, Tony was incredibly devoted to you, often surprising you with little notes or flowers just to make you smile.

Stargazing on the balcony with him explaining constellations he “totally didn’t just Google.”

Lazy Sundays spent lounging on the couch, you reading a book while he tinkered with gadgets.

Dancing in the kitchen while waiting for the coffee to brew, Tony twirls you around despite your protests that you’re not a good dancer.

Tony would build a soundproof, plant-and-book-filled space in the tower for you to retreat to when you were feeling overwhelmed.

He would also learn to cook your favorite meals, even if he sets off the fire alarm.

You'd help organize his chaotic schedule, ensuring he eats and drinks, and has enough time to relax before going off the tinker or meetings.

You'd surprise him with little heartfelt gifts.

Like a framed photo of the two of you or a playlist of songs that remind you of him and your relationship.

You, and Tony, and your cute little pup, are one happy family.

DC;

Bane (The Dark Knight Rises) -

You met Bane when you were caught in the chaos of Gotham's criminal underworld.

Despite his intimidating presence, he saw potential in your strategic mind and recruited you to help with his plans for Gotham.

Initially, you worked together out of mutual necessity, but your loyalty and determination earned his quiet respect and trust.

Bane admired your ability to stay cheerful despite the harshness of your past and surroundings.

At first, he questioned you, your cheer, but after a while, he understood.

This took quite some time - his trust - but what took even more time to earn was a little chuckle from him after you jokingly teased him about something.

He admired how you weren't scared to say what was on your mind.

You would often patch him up after fights with any rivals or Batman, scolding him lightly for being reckless.

He found your concern endearing, though he'd never admit it outright.

Late-night strategy sessions where you'd work on plans together, sharing ideas over cups of coffee and tea, or whatever you could find to drink that was good.

Bane would send his henchmen out to grab drinks and snacks for you.

Sometimes even takeout.

Bane found himself protective of you, going out of his way to ensure you were safe and comfortable.

You realized your feelings during one of his rare vulnerable moments, when he told you about his past in the pit.

Bane's confession was subtle, almost hidden in his actions.

He brought you a single rose, placing it in your hand without explanation.

When you asked, he simply said, "It would be... Good for you, if you were to stay here... With me."

Was Bane asking you to move in with him?

In the sewers?

Uh, yes, please.

Despite his stoic, buff nature Bane was deeply affectionate in private, along with incredibly protective. As said.

He'd hold you close and whisper reassurance when you are anxious.

When cuddling before bed, Bane would hold you incredibly close. So close, the cold air couldn't hit you. So warm.

Cuddles are the best with him.

He'd always ensure that you felt secure, both emotionally and physically, making you his top priority, next to taking over Gotham.

Quiet evenings spent reading together, with you leaning against him while he listened intently to your favorite stories.

Walks through Gotham’s quieter areas, his presence making you feel untouchable.

Cooking meals together, with you teaching him how to make simple dishes and laughing at his overly serious approach.

Sharing blankets during cold nights, with Bane insisting you take the larger share to stay warm.

But he would also keep you warm, this guy is an oven.

He’d craft a space where you could feel at peace, away from the chaos, filled with plants that don't really need direct sunlight.

He would defend you fiercely against anyone who dared to upset or hurt you.

Will snap someone's neck for you (*/ω＼*)

You’d keep him grounded, reminding him of the softer side of life and encouraging him to take breaks.

You’d gift him small tokens of affection, like hand-drawn sketches of places you dreamed of visiting together.

You are both a very powerful couple.

If you were able to create a character for DC comics/lore. What would they be like? And which powers would you like them to have? Nice work, author. Love your writing!

💌 : hmmm, that's hard! i feel like i have so many ideas, but i've never done enough world-building to make it more interesting beyond surface-level powers, lol. but since i finished a book that was kind of magical, i shall introduce. . .

maxwell baker / arcus.

a divine wizard whose powers can create and manipulate the skies in the beginning of his lore! perhaps maxwell will gradually be granted powerful divinity powers through his loss of hope after a tragic event? i'm not good with building up powers, lol, but i can imagine him being a big help for support uses in team-battles!

as for personal background, i'd love to see a more gentler but authoritative figure / leader in comics! maxwell is a new teacher in his city, where he teaches at a secret / underground school for children with powers, conducting core lessons on how to control your powers and emotions. his co-workers dismiss him because of his lack of experience, but he remains optimistic because in the end, he's here for his students.

perhaps that tragic event where he breaks down and loses all hope is when the school is suddenly infiltrated and destroyed by an organization or something that wants to utilize the students as their lab-rats! many faculty members are left for dead due to the sudden surprise, and it's only maxwell left to survive as his powers were little to no use in stopping the students being taken away!

and maybe his journey throughout his lore is learning to believe in himself, bringing the students back (at least those who were taken alive), and uncovering a more sinister organization at-hand and how to defeat it once and for all. dun dun dunnn.

not that great, a little cheesy, but i did my best, ok. anyways here are some outfit inspirations (i didn't draw this LOL, but not sure who to give credit to :o). and also not me suddenly making dc comics into a shounen or magika girl manga, like pls.

Titans: Season 4 - Ep 12: Finale, Dickkory + Whole Show - Thoughts

Oof, this is gonna be a long ass post. I'm gonna put into words my thoughts on the finale, my thoughts on dickkory in the finale as well as dickkory in general in the show and lastly a few thoughts on Titans as a whole since it began 4 years ago.

No word of a lie, I just sat and rewatched the finale with a notebook, noting every. single. thought. So... buckle up and good luck if you're gonna try reading to the end. XD

Episode 12: Titans Forever (Series Finale)

So, first, I'm just gonna talk about the finale without gushing over Dickkory. I will, obviously but I'm gonna separate them out.

I love that it got straight back into the action with little to no filler. Filler stuff fucks me off when you're so close to the end like in a finale, there should be no filler and for that, Titans got points from me.

I really liked that Rachel did her lil soul self projection - that was cool and not something we've seen her do before in the show (I don't think) so I found that a cool thing to throw in rather than having Kory just blow the door up which let's face it, still would have been boss af.

Lmao, Sebastian continues to be just such a little whiny bitch. XD I've said it every week but he's just so annoying. Don't get me wrong, I think Joseph Morgan did it well and he is a good actor but God, Sebastian is just so unlikeable for me. He fucking sucks and if I was in STAR labs, I would have thrown a punch like FUCK. The only time I was nervous of him was when he had my girl Kory for a hot minute. I did not enjoy that.

LOL. Trigon got like 2 mins of screen time and was then just gone. It was hilarious to me, I gotta be honest. Like Trigon was built up and then just got hacked by his son lmaooo. It had me laughing, ngl. Drinking the blood from his heart was weird af but was in keeping with the rest of the Blood cult and what the show has shown them to be like including Sebastian but still. Grim.

I really loved the title intro; how the images on the TITANS was the core four and then flashed as usual to the four of them from season 1. Idk if that was intentional but it felt like it and I appreciated it a lot.

GAR'S CRYING FACE THROUGHOUT THIS FUCKING EPISODE. MY POOR BABY, GOD DAMN IT. Conner's 'death', Kory's 'death'... like fuck give him a break.

GLAD TO FINALLY SEE GOOD BOI KRYPTO. I was wondering where the heck he had been, honestly. Good to see him there at the end. XD

Lmao, so I get it was to show like Dick was hopeful Conner would be okay but him whipping out his phone to make a dinner reservation had me cackling like bro, pick a better moment pls. Out of context, that would be so fucking funny. XD

I adored Tim's little rejoin with the team. He is such a Robin nerd, I love him. Everyone smirking like the cutie he is was sweet af.

Also really loved Kory and Rachel's power merge. It did fuck all cos he wasn't actually there but it made me happy. My girls. <3

Sebastian riding up to STAR Labs on his little blue bike - bitch, someone should have sniped your fucking ass off of it then & there.

I felt bad for Dr Espenson; I liked her. What a grim way to go too. Screaming, bleeding - ick.

Bernard literally getting up to see everyone getting murdered and was like well shit, fuck, I gotta move. XD

Lmao, Dick literally keeping a secret about a womhole; I was just... this is so on brand for him ffs. XD

Sebastian just being like, 'Fuck your password' and Calliope accepting it made me giggle. Idk why.

I really liked the explanation from Calliope about how powerful Kory really can be - Her strength is always downplayed in every media format, I swear. It fucks me off so badly. The woman can literally go toe to toe with Superman ffs like acknowledge her power, DC, you little bitch. God.

Kory getting controlled was a no no for me. When her eyes went red and she went a' wandering, I was like NOOO KORY! STOPPP! SNAP OUTTA IT!

I really liked the scene with Kory and Sebastian like my heart was racing and in my mouth cos it was like don't fucking touch her, you psycho but the tension was really good in that scene, I thought.

I won't lie, some scenes were weirdly paced however, I think it would work fine if you were binge watching the whole season. I like that it's straight in but it felt a tad all over the place in some parts but again, I don't think it would be an issue if you're just watching all the episodes together.

"You're no God." - Fucking GET HIM, Kory. Get wrecked, Sebastian, you glorified mama's boy.

The team takedown of the metahuman assault squad was rad; I loved the teamwork and the moves and it felt good to watch. I very much enjoyed it.

"I won't help you destroy my home - Either one of them" - Oh, Kory <3 You literally are such a sweetheart and I loved that it wasn't left to be ambiguous like gasp, which did she mean?

I DID NOT AND DO NOT APPRECIATE KORY IN PAIN. FUCK OFF.

Gar & Tim's friendship gives me life. They're just such bros; the shoulder taps and smirks like they are SUCH boys. I love them.

I SNORTED at the way Dick just pops outta nowhere and sucker punches Sebastian. It was so funny. XD

"For the record, that game you made fucking sucks." LOL TIM, my fucking soul mate. I was DYING. XD

Gar almost getting dragged into the wormhole had me on EDGE. Like, not my sweet, cinnamon boy, no thank you.

Rachel waking Kory; I was SOBBING. The flashes of Kory memories. My actual heart hurt.

Nightwing literally fighting until he is deadass on the floor was giving me life. We love to see a determined fool.

Superboy showing up last minute was pretty dope like a secret weapon, I liked it and was wondering like is Conner gonna appear orrr...? XD

LOL Conner with Tim & Gar was cute and great. "Wait, was I dead?" and Tim brushing it off like, "I'll explain later" had me creasing.

My God, Kory's sudden power up and her just soaring straight through the fucking roof had be cheering loudly like it was the best and is a favourite scene by loads. It was so frickin' cool and something I like to see Kory do in shows and movies and shit cos she is just so slept on by DC. She is fucking amazing and yet... we never get to see her like that or very rarely. I loved it.

The kids' sad faces when Kory is like 'No' to throwing Sebastian through the wormhole. I die. Rachel especially - Her face was so sad and if you look closely, you can see Rachel is like sobbing but trying to restrain her emotions after Kory lets go of her hand. She knew. She knew what mama Kory was gonna do.

Honestly, this scene with Kory still making the sacrifice was hard on my emotions and was the one that had me closest to tears - I was full on at the edge of crying ugly ass tears.

Kory's supernova was perfect to me. Like, yes, look at that damn powerhouse goddess.

Ryan's crying face had me wanting to cry this whole episode, omg.

Firstly... the Christmas scene is so weirdly placed, I thought and I have to say it. I don't get, and I've seen others question this too, if it's meant to be a flashback or a future vision. I assume it's the end of S3 cos Kory's hair, Tim isn't yet there, Rachel's hair is purple still... but Dickkory?? EXCUSE ME that is a bit cozy for just friends? Dick's hand on her waist and they are literally standing so close together wtf?? It was so freakin' cute regardless but yeah, it felt randomly placed. I agree, it should have been maybe used as a flash forward instead? Idk.

I keep mentioning it but GAR CRYING HAD MY HEART BREAKING EVERY TIME.

The float back down from space and the focus on her - Just really made me smile cos like it reminds me why Kory is and will forever be my favourite DC character and just fictional character in general. Thanks to Anna like Titans Kory has joined the roster for my top versions of Kory, idgaf what anyone thinks. I love her.

THE GROUP HUG. I AM A MESS.

The dinner scene was so bittersweet like it makes sense for the young ones to go - it was foreshadowed multiple times for each of them really but I was so sad. I not like team splits. I recently watched a new hero movie... hint hint where this is the same ending and I sobbed in the cinema. I hate these endings but I also get it. Like I said, bittersweet.

Gar embracing The Red & doing something for him felt right and a 'Good for him' moment.

Rachel going to college!! I like the Bludhaven Easter egg - it made me smile.

Tim is such a cutie and I really love Jay's portrayal of him.

---

Conner, we all knew that was coming too. All the babies flying the nest, I am SOBBING.

Love Krypto sat at the fucking table of this fancy ass restaurant lmaooo.

I really loved the finale, I will be honest. I really didn't have issues with it other than the small few I've listed. Like, I wish we had more time with the characters but the episode ending left me on a high but that could be cos it ended on my babies... It felt like an upbeat way to end the series and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

____________________________________________

Episode 12: Titans Forever (Series Finale) - Dickkory & DK Thoughts

So, I'm gonna basically do the same as above. Ima go through the episode and just gush about the DK scenes lmao.

I really did feel like there was Dickkory moments in every scene. There were individual scenes but I felt it was always there in the background. All of Dick's choices and his motivations etc, I felt like he always had Kory in his mind, personally.

The freakin' RV scene with them had me feeling all kinds of ways. It had me giggling and tearing up. The banter about them first meeting and her stealing his car!! I am so happy that that got brought up since we never really had them talk about those things after S1. For a while, it felt like it just got retconned. Glad to see it was not and they reflected on it.

Dick's fucking sad eyes and his broken way of being like, "Please, don't." I die. Brenton expressions especially when Dick is with Kory have always been so top tier, I stg.

LOL, when they learn about Project Icarus, Dick's eyes keep shifting back and forth to Kory as if being like "Fuck, wifey so gon' be big mad."

UGH. The "Kory, wait!" when she leaves the RV and is getting into the porche. The way he calls and runs out after her felt very reminiscent of S1 in Angela's house after she attacks Rachel. Like, mmm, yes. It felt similar and I adored it.

Dick & Kory's continued banter in the porche. Their serious af conversation about what they're going to intermingled with the reference yet again to his car and how they're even for his car and Dick's smirk... I loved it sm.

I loved that Kory checked his ass about Project Icarus when he got into the porche before she could drive off. He's so quick to be like, "Babe, I didn't even know nothing." XDDD Honestly, it's giving husband and wife. It had me dying.

"We're stronger together; you know we are." - STOP IM SOBBING. I really loved that line.

Dick's eyes are literally trained on Kory so. much. in this episode. He is concerned af and I am so here for it.

Dick's concern in the lab when she is awol is so cute like he is STRESSIN' but we love to see it.

LOL, Dick at the doors like, "BERNARD!" Like fuck man, give him a second! XD He called out like 3 times and was so impatient, it was hilarious. He was really giving, "My wife is in there with a psycho pls open the fucking doors." XD

Dick's fighting was so love fuelled, i don't care what anyone says. He literally fights like not my alien Princess, you don't, you dick! xD I'm probs delusional but all I could think was Dick's more pissed cos Kory is in danger.

Dick was so hopeful after Sebastian went down. He was like woo, yeah, we did it, it's over. Let's throw him into space, no dead Kory today. And she is just like... I'm sorry and dfhjhsdlkh. I was in pain. You can see him crumbling and is still trying to find ways for her not to do this. I had full on tears in my eyes.

The face caress like... it's so painful. He looks so crestfallen. I cannot.

"I don't know how to do that... I can't" - He sounded so broken, my poor dumbass!! I was in pain with this whole sequence.

Dick's tearfilled eyes - I was honestly so emosh; Anna and Brenton did that scene so well.

I really love the pause on Dick whilst they think Kory is dead like it's as if he knows or legit just cannot fathom Kory being gone.

HIS LIL WALK BACK OVER TO HER ONCE SHE COMES DOWN FROM SPACE. IT WAS A WALK WITH PURPOSE. You CANNOT tell me he wasn't instantly like, "Ima kiss her" when she came back to Earth. He had that determination in his eyes. She was getting thoroughly kissed.

THE KISS!!!!! SQUEEEEEE. Guys, I fucking died. I know it was a very long time coming and overdue but it was a good kiss. Dick diving in for a second kiss made me melt. I loved it.

The boys all grinning in the back had me smilinggg. Whether it was cos mom and dad were kissing or cos Kory wasn't dead, Idc it was cute.

Kory's lil 'Whoa' after the kiss was so adorable.

THE HAND ON HER BACK. Dick's hand was glued to her as they went over for the group hug. He was not letting go and it was... so cute.

Honestly, Dick's heart eyes again at Dinner where she's like "Guess you never know what the future holds" and his smile like fuck man, she's yours. Quit it alreadyyy!

Sighhh, the whole conversation when they were alone was great and I espesh loved, "They're not even leaving us Krypto" XD

The 'It's weird' 'What? You and I alone together?' was cute and ughhhhh I was dying.

The damn stroller with the red balloon. We see you, Titans. GOD! I liked that we got the subtle hint without a flashforward to having had Mar'i. I put this in the tags of a reblog and like I would have still sobbed at that but I like the subtle route a lot.

LOL DICK's "Maybe we should get on that" HAD ME CHOKING HAHAHA like BRO, you are leaping ahead. Even Kory took a minute looking at him like is this guy for real rn?? Man went from 'I don't do feelings' to 'I've picked the paint for our baby's nursery' lightning fast XDDD. But, they defo went home after and slept together after those drinks. You can't convince me otherwise.

They were so giddy and cutesy. Like, ugh I'm not over it. I'm on such a dickkory high.

I LOVE the ending on the bridge. Sunshine Kory skipping ahead and holding hands with and dragging her smiley yet grumpy Dick along. It just felt so them and the little bubbly action from Kory felt VERY her. Like it really sang, Kory to me.

I'm so happy they ended with Dickkory in a place so happy and in love - it rarely happens in DC so I am thrilled.

Guys, I know at times, it felt neverending and I'm with other DK fans. I really wish they had done this with Dickkory earlier in the show, I really do. I feel like we could have skipped some exes and other shit and got to this point with them a lot sooner but it is what it is.

I'm actually just so happy that they ended it on such a fluffy, lighthearted note for them. Like, they are so loved up at the end of the show and it just makes me happy that we got that. Could they have done more with them through the whole show? Absolutely. Could they have gotten to this point with them earlier? Also, absolutely.

But, I am grateful for the moments through each season that we got with them. Like, I think if I was to rewatch from S1, bearing in mind that Dick's basically been a goner since the night at the motel in S1, I feel like the seasons and episodes would feel different.

I'm just really grateful that I have another show that gave me dickkory content. I've followed them through multiple versions. TT Cartoon, DCAU, comics, TT Cartoon comics, TTG (in parts), Live action... like I just love them in every universe, including this one even if it's been trying at times.

But, there was nothing ambiguous about this ending for me. The point is to end them on a high all giggly and happy and thoroughly in love. I look forward to the fic writers for live action dickkory to cook up some beautiful fics after this just to keep the joy going.

I WISH there could have been an S5 to see Dick and Kory in an actually established place but that's what imaginations are for and luckily for me, I can imagine dickkory scenarios til the cows come home XD.

I've really enjoyed this version of them. It's been different but I still love them. I love Brenton as Dick and Anna as Kory respectively and I think their chemistry has worked so well in this show and it doesn't hurt that they are so close in real life. It's really sweet.

Idk, I have no issues with how they were ended. I was scared we wouldn't get a kiss but that kiss was adorable and ugh the last scene on the bridge just makes me so smiley, even now after hours of rewatching it XD

Titans - Whole Show - Thoughts

I have always been very back and forth with Titans, I won't lie and tbh, anyone that follows me or knows me, knows that I've dipped in and out of Titans constantly.

However, going into Titans, I have ALWAYS said from day dot one that I was watching it for three specific things. Kory, Gar & Dickkory. That was it, hence I've never really cared for much beyond those things so my opinion will be wildly different from others, I am sure.

Season 1 got me invested. I loved the core four; hated the fucking pigeons and will die on my hill that they were a waste of screen time. But, our core four were the best thing about the first season, it was amazing.

Season 2 I enjoyed greatly but I did pull back a little but there were moments that brought me back in. And, there were some characters like Donna that reeled me back in cos I love her and I enjoyed hers and Kory's friendship as well as her friendship with Dick. I liked the storyline since Slade has always been a Titans douchebag but we love him.

Season 3, lmao, I dropped, I won't lie. I watched pieces from mutuals and sought out scenes and episodes of interest but honestly, it died a little for me in S3. It was based in Gotham and it had a tiny rekindle of another ship which... I saw zero value in doing. I was so anti season 3 lmao.

Season 4 pulled me right back in as it reminded me of S1. We'd lost the annoying af birds and it was back to core four plus Tim and Conner but like I was fully on board for them cos they didn't deter from the team vibe. Whereas, other side characters absolutely did and it was frustrating. Season 4 has definitely been my favourite season in the show.

It probably goes Seasons 4, 1, 2 & 3 tbh.

I've always had issues with Titans in various forms but y'know what? Overall, I've loved watching it. I wish some things had done better but I still loved the show that was given to fans overall.

I'm so sad it's ended but I am glad to have had some fan interactions through the course of the show. Dickkory fans especially know the DK desert is dry af most of the time so this was really nice to have the tag vibing most of the time.

I'm sad to see the show go and I hope we don't have to wait long to get something else Titans related that isn't a fucking backwards af comic from the assholes at DC. The irony, huh? XD

Thanks, Titans. It's been fun.

Dickkory friends, I look forward to forthcoming art and fics to read cos I need them to keep me on the high for the next few weeks. XD

P.S, well done if you actually read this whole thing. You're either amazing or insane. <3
