people mostly talk about splitting as literally all-or-nothing--"I love you" or "I hate you"--but I personally experience an in-between point sometimes.
I don't know what I'd call it other than "thin-ice devaluation" or something along those lines.
like, yes I devalued you recently and I realize now that I was being irrational, BUT if you say something even slightly suspicious, hurtful, or incorrect, I'm going to assume that you're evil and/or useless again much faster than I would have before.

do you know why vale seems to have a soft spot for pedrosa?
there's not any single one reason, I don't think, but here's are a few contributing factors that come to mind:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
history! in large part because of the honda link, dani's the alien he's known the longest... valentino was the number one honda rider at a time at which dani was honda's rising star. photo on the right is from the 2001 honda celebrations at the last race of the season (when dani was sixteen); from oxley's valentino rossi: all his races: "that night vale celebrated in style at a raucous honda victory party, where he taught honda youngsters daijiro kato and dani pedrosa how to drink". they've known each other forever! valentino was getting teenage dani drunk! quite natural to be fond of someone you've seen grow up like that, even if they are being moulded to be your next big rival
circumstance! the way it basically works with valentino is that if you want to have a feud with him, you generally need to have a title fight with him when youā€™re already ā€˜establishedā€™ rivals (ignore marc, thatā€™s its own thing, 2015 is a freaky season). biaggi and valentino were enemies headed into 2001 and then were worse enemies, he was cool with sete in year one but not year two, mostly *wiggles hand* the same with casey and jorgeā€¦ feuds aren't build overnight. valentino and dani werenā€™t ever really direct title rivals - closest they got was 2006 and 2008, but in both cases valentino probably didnā€™t see dani as his main problem that year. there wasn't really any competitive necessity for valentino to get nasty... also with one or two notable exceptions, valentino did kinda have dani handled in their actual wheel-to-wheel fights, which letā€™s face it probably didnā€™t hurt
yapping! so this is just a theory but itā€™s one I believe strongly in. you know how valentino loves to talk, right? the thing about pressers and podiums is that you're always going to have a few regular attendees, if you will, corresponding to the front runners in any given year. now, unfortunately for valentino, there were periods of time where almost every other regular attendee was someone he had pretty active beef with. that doesnā€™t mean he always avoided yapping at them, but relatively speaking you want a guy you can build up some good repartee with to pass the time. dani was his guyā€¦ less complicated than casey and jorge, plus dani is polite enough to go along with it and maybe even enjoy chatting to valentino (itā€™s been known to happen). pressers can be boring and at podiums you're still full of adrenaline, valentino wants to share a joke with someone! my completely unscientific sense is that valentino does this a lot with dani around 2008-ish to 2012, then for two years marc is the number one yap victim, then for a while itā€™s a bitā€¦? oddly valentino does seem to chat quite a lot with jorge in 2015... he likes to throw in a quirky behavioural pattern sometimes to keep you guessing. anyway then in 2016 he is Actively Ignoring two of these men so vale goes!! hi there dani!! and takes it from there (though the field is more mixed up post-2015 so he becomes more of an opportunistic yapper). in general, valentino will chat to pretty much anyone with A Few Exceptions, but he does usually have a bit of an order of preference
daniā€™s personality! now, obviously dani is very much capable of feuds, but heā€™s not that naturally combative a character. valentino generally needs a competitive justification for beef, though some personal animosity can help tooā€¦ but he never really hated any of that trio of young riders to come through. valentino's known dani forever, heā€™s been around dani a fair bit because of their respective statuses in the sport, dani isnā€™t going out of his way to pick fights with valentino, so no reason not to get on! he does clearly quite like chatting to dani and seems pretty fond of him even towards the start of the alien era, at a time in which it was broadly expected that dani not casey would emerge as vale's primary challenger... god knows if the relationship would have soured if dani had assumed that mantle (probably at least a little lol) but failing that, valentino does just seem to quite like him. yā€™know, sometimes itā€™s like that
They Have Also Had Their Disagreements, But There Hasnā€™t Been Much Cause For It To Escalate Further. these disagreements have tended to be over racing standards, where dani is generally in the ā€˜you people are all insaneā€™ camp and valentino is generally in the ā€˜ah itā€™s fineā€™ camp (though, obviously, there is nuance hereā€¦ cf vale also criticising sic over the le mans 2011 incident that left dani with the broken collarbone). generally, they don't get into direct conflict over it, more of an underlying difference in positions (hey, aragon 2013 is an example)... but thereā€™s been daniā€™s suggestion that valentinoā€™s sepang 2015 stance is inconsistent with his generally laissez faire approach, and also some other isolated little scuffles over the years like say 2017 aragon (see below). pretty small scale stuff in the grand scheme of things and if you've been on-track rivals for that long it's kinda inevitable you'll eventually disagree about some stuff, but perhaps worth bringing up
Tumblr media
went through all of the alien combos in my head and these two slot in just behind dani/casey as probably the two most consistently beef-free inter-alien relationships? dani/casey gets extra credit for surviving The Teammate Test. but, y'know, the thing about valentino is that he's a sociable, outgoing guy... he likes talking to people... he's actually interested in them... he's a decent conversationalist, easy to get on with, all that stuff. so if you expose valentino to this nice fella who at most was like... perhaps a bit more reserved towards the start of his time in the premier class (partly due to his mentor's approach), but really was generally pretty chill... well, if valentino isn't given any reason to hate dani, then default state is that he won't. good on them etc
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
#valentino took the team dani or team jorge thing too seriously and had already decided he hated jorge based on vibes#so he was like oh i guess iā€™ll be a dani fan. he just pretended not to notice the reconciliation... in his head they're both still beefing#valentino paid dani off for estoril 2006 and heā€™s been nice to him ever since to keep him quiet#not because he's worried everyone will know he tried to rig the title but because he's embarrassed it didn't work#valentino had a long con planned to use dani to psychologically torment jorge but their reconciliation scuppered his schemes#valentino felt so guilty about not offering dani the chair he brought to the sepang 2006 podium#DESPITE daniā€™s knee being fucked that heā€™s been trying to repent ever since#valentino got really excited at jerez 2008 to stand on a podium where the other two were the ones involved in an active feud....#a feud rekindled by dani's refusal to shake jorge's hand at qatar. so vale's always been grateful to dani for this special experience#valentino has such poor posture that the natural incline of his back makes it easy for him to talk right into dani's ears#valentino said in his autobiography he finds short people funny when they're angry. daniā€™s short and was weird around jorge#valentino had a feud arc planned with dani for 2010 (he wanted a different one every year) but broke his leg and never got round to it#brr brr#//#batsplat responds#alien tag#in all seriousness if there is a silver bullet reason they get on that i've never come across please feel free to write in#need to just make sure everyone has noticed sete in the background of that 2006 photo. has everyone seen him

I was talking to an idiot and I need validation.
#superman#clark kent#kal el#comics#dc comics#smallville#martha kent#jon kent#ma kent#pa kent#im gonna rant now. this isnt at you its at the dumb fuck who was commenting on my comment on tiktok.#YES! why the fuck wouldn't he be! he was ADOPTED to be adopted you gotta have the right paperwork in order. the person im mad at LITERALLY#SAID Clark was in an orphanage... lets put our thinking caps! if he was in an orphanage Ma and Pa gave him to the state and yk what! i bet#they thought he was an abandoned baby! no one knew he was an alien. if they didnt he would have been in a govt lab! and in a comic i read ma#and pa thought he was a nasa experiment! yk how they put dogs and moneys in orbit? they thought they did that with a baby! so they took him#ok ok ok then the person i was debating said ma and pa were CRIMINALS!!!!! THEY JUST SAID CLARK WAS IN AN ORPHANAGE!#SO MA AND PA FOUND A BABY. TURNED HIM OVER TO THE AUTHORITIES AND AFTER IT WAS PROVEN THAT HE HAD NO FAMILY THEY ADOPTED HIM!#all of that is legal! they made it sound like ma snuck into a house a stole a child! put some respect on the Kents!#and for why we were debating. he had to have been assigned an ID/ss number/citizen ship because he was to the govt an abandoned BABY#they made it sound like Clark was a 20 year old! he was at best a toddler. he didnt need to take a citizenship test or anything cus HE WAS A#BABY! he was just issued citizenship cus to the govt he was an abandoned baby in the usa WHERE EISE WOULD HE HAVE BEEN FROM!#cus i cant stress this enough NO ONE KNEW HE WAS AN ALIEN! (except maybe ma and pa)#the govt gave an abandoned baby in Kansas an us id cus THEY HAD NO REASON TO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE BABY FOUND IN A FEILD IN KANSAS WASN'T#BORN IN THE USA! and with all the paperwork they did on him they gave him us citizen rights like THE RIGHT TO VOTE#there are a million possibilities for why a baby would be abandoned in a feild in Kansas and it would take awhile to aliens#this is what i think the govt thought 'ok baby abandoned in a feild of a local couple. no family to be found. a young mother probably got#pregnant and didn't want to baby so she left it where a couple who couldn't have children could find them. oh look the couple wants to adopt#let them take the baby.' babys being abandoned was so common that safe haven laws were made to give mothers who didnt want their infants a#safe place to drop their kid off (usually a special box at a fire department or hospital)

Danny/Tim, mentioned Jazz/Jason
(ą¹‘ā€¢Ģ ā‚ƒ ā€¢Ģ€ą¹‘) enjoy!! prompt ask game
kid napping
ā€œRed Robin, sound off. Status?ā€
ā€œAll good here, Oracle. Everything okay?ā€
Itā€™s been a slow night, never a good sign. Pent up energy itches under his skin and he stretches when he stands, preparing for whatever Oracle is going to throw his way. Itā€™s going to be something, he can tell.
ā€œGood.ā€ Relief briefly colours her voice answers, before she becomes serious again, keys clacking away in the background. ā€œThereā€™s been a report from Agent A. It appears that one Timothy Drake has been kidnapped and is being ransomed for five million dollars and a helicopter. Iā€™m tracing the call now.ā€
ā€œA helicopter, too? Kidnappers these days, used to be they just wanted their money and that would be the end of itā€¦ a fucking helicopter, wow.ā€ Red Hood scoffs, and Red Robin canā€™t help but join in the laughter over the comms.
ā€œDoesnā€™t exactly sound like these are the brightest tools in the shed now, does it, Hood? Wonder what poor schmuck theyā€™ve got instead.ā€ Nightwing says, slightly out of breath.Ā 
The smile slips off Red Robinā€™s face and clammy, cold dread shivers down his spine. A stone settles in his stomach. He wets his lips and clears his throat. ā€œOracle, can you pull up the CCTV on my apartment near WE? Any closer to tracing the call?ā€
ā€œStill on the trace, theyā€™re using a jammer. Agent A is cooperating so they should phone back soon, which will help.ā€ she reports, falling into silence as he finds the video feed.
ā€œYou know who it is?ā€
ā€œI hope not.ā€
Itā€™s tense, he taps his feet on the rooftop, fingers tightening over his grapple as he fights the urge to fly off the roof and check for himself. It better not be him. Please, dear God, donā€™t let it not be him.
ā€œWhat are you thinking, Red Robin?ā€ Batman growls through the comms. Red Robin can hear the wind under his words, whipping fast as he no doubt makes his way over to his position.
ā€œI had a, uh, a friend coming over tonight. From behind, heā€¦ he could be mistaken for Tim Drake.ā€
The jokes fall silent, the comms growing serious as they pick up on his tone.
ā€œWell, fuck.ā€Ā 
ā€œEloquent as always, Hood.ā€
ā€œShut up, bat-brat.ā€
ā€œYou were right, Red Robin, it looks like it was yourā€¦ friend they caught, instead. About two hours before the call came in. Iā€™m following their van now, I should have the destination soon. In the meantime, it looks like theyā€™re heading towards the docks.ā€
Red Robin throws himself off the building, shooting his grapple as low as he dares to get the fastest swing he can.Ā 
They have Danny.Ā 
Worry gnaws at his gut even as gravity pulls it into his throat with another swing.
Danny isā€¦ And Red Robin means this in the nicest way possible, but Danny is fragile. They havenā€™t talked about it, but RR knows that Danny has health problems. Something plaguing him since he was young, thatā€™s landed him in the hospital more than once. A weak heart, far too slow to be normal, possibly chronic fatigueā€”heā€™s always so tired, falling asleep anywhere he can.
Sometimes, he doesnā€™t even need to put his head down. Once, when they had gone to the corner store to get some popcorn to enjoy their movie (which Danny had explicitly and repeatedly promised he wouldnā€™t snore through this time), Danny had rested his head on Timā€™s shoulder while they were waiting and heā€™d justā€¦ gone. On his feet, asleep, just like that.
Heā€™d laughed, when Tim woke him up. Apologised. Said Tim made him feel safe enough to fall asleep just about anywhere andā€”
Red Robin grits his teeth and corrects his course as Oracle updates them with more precise coordinates.
Tim had carried him home that night, piggy-back for four blocks, but by the end of it, he wasnā€™t tired at all. And thatā€™s another thing, Dannyā€™s just so light. Itā€™s concerning.
They never did watch that movie, but itā€™s a night that Tim canā€™t help remembering fondly all the same. Theyā€™d ended up rewatching some old sitcom that Dannyā€™s seen countless times but Timā€™s never really bothered with, Danny drifting off to sleep again and Tim eventually following him, becauseā€¦ sleep is easy with Danny.
Itā€™s the same for him, he thinks. He canā€™t explain it, but he feels safe enough to sleep with Danny, too.
He needs to be alright.
ā€œSoā€¦ Is this friend just a friend? Or a friend friend?ā€Ā 
ā€œA friend, Nightwing. Now hurry up.ā€
Heā€™s not in the mood to play these games, not now. Thereā€™s a reason why none of them know about Danny, and this is one of them. His family, as much as he loves them, are just too damn nosey for their own good.
ā€œYou know that doesnā€™t answer my question at all.ā€
ā€œThen why donā€™t you ask something intelligible, rather than continue with your childish antics?ā€ Robin snarks, and for once, Red Robin has to agree with him. Or, rather, heā€™s grateful for the distraction that it gives him.
Tim has secrets. Heā€™s sure that Danny does, too, and so farā€”aside from the standard background check he always runs on new friends and friend friends alikeā€”heā€™s done very well to respect them. He just canā€™t say that his family would do the same.
They can be overwhelming, to say the least, and Tim has tried his best to protect Danny from that.
Only to fail to protect him in every other way that it counts.
ā€œHow long have you guys been ā€˜friendsā€™?ā€
ā€œNightwing, save it, please.ā€
ā€œWhatā€™s his name?ā€
He ignores him.
Red Robin lands on the building first, thank goodness. He wastes no time in finding a skylight that can be pried open fairly quietly, slipping inside without a second thought.
ā€œWait for backup, Red Robin, that is an order!ā€ Batman says, when he lets them know heā€™s in.
ā€œNegative, Batman. Iā€™m getting him back.ā€
ā€œRed Robin!ā€
He weaves silently through the desks on the second floor of the warehouse, always moving, always keeping a trained eye on the shadows around him.
When he reaches the stairs, he hears voices.
ā€œLooks like three of them, armed. The-the hostage is tied to a chair in the middle of the room, heā€¦ā€ Red Robin takes a steadying breath. The person has a burlap sack over their head is slumped to the side, from where he is, Red Robin canā€™t see if his chest is moving. Thereā€™s blood on the floor. ā€œHe needs medical assistance. Another two on the northside entrance.ā€
The comms explode in admonitions, everyone pleading with him to stay where he is, to wait for help, but fuck that. With a tap, he switches them off and he can finally, just about make out the words of the kidnappers as he creeps down the first few steps.
ā€œā€”shouldnā€™t he have woken up by now?ā€
ā€œI donā€™t know, man, youā€™re the one that hit him! Do you think heā€™sā€”ā€
ā€œNo! I didnā€™t even hit him that hard, I swear!ā€ the man cries, holding his hands up in surrender. ā€œI just couldnā€™t take any more of his stupid jokes!ā€
If there was any doubt in Red Robinā€™s mind that they picked up Danny by mistake, itā€™s gone now. Yeah. If you get Danny, you get his stupid jokes, too.
He creeps closer.Ā 
Thereā€™s some storage crates between him and Danny, if he can get behind there without being seen then that leaves him in a good position for when whoeverā€™s next in takes out the guys at the front. He canā€™t do anything without them gone first, not without risking them taking shots inside and endangering Danny.
The man that hit Danny circles round behind him and grabs at his hands.
ā€œWhat are you even doing, Pat? Who gives a shit, leave him alone.ā€
ā€œIā€™m just checking! I just gotta see!ā€
ā€œFuckā€™s sake, guys, who cares? We just gotta get our money, thatā€™s itā€”ā€
ā€œAnd our helicopter!ā€
ā€œAnd ourā€”ā€
ā€œShit, I canā€™t find a pulse! Shit, Frank, I killed him, Iā€”ā€
Jason told him once that when the Pits overtook him, he used to see green. Instead of blacking out, heā€™d be swimming in that putrid Lazarus colour and heā€™d slip into that rage and bad things would happen.
Heā€™s heard of people seeing red, too, but really, he thinks thatā€™s more of a literary device.
Tim doesnā€™t see anything aside from his targets.
A barrage of birdarangs take the guns from the guys at the front, the three around Danny startling badly enough that the guy that kilā€”thatā€™s behind Dannyā€”stumbles, losing his footing.
Only one of them shoots.
Amateurs.Ā 
Thereā€™s a round of curses on the comms as the shots come through. Oracle must have turned them back on.
ā€œFucking hellā€”Nightwing and I are at the front, Red Robin, donā€™t worry about them.ā€
Red Robinā€™s barely listening.
He spins, kicking the largest guy in the stomach hard enough so that he doubles over, wheezing. Following through the movement, another kick lands on the side of his head and heā€™s down.Ā 
The second one, Frank, gets his wits about him and raises his gun, spraying wildly. Heā€™s a shit shot, going wide in panic, and Red Robin simply ducks and rushes forward, keeping low. Tackling the guy, he grabs the gun off of him and uses it to smash him across the face, once, twice, three times, before he stops moving.
ā€œOracle, get police and paramedics on scene, now.ā€ Batman says, the displeasure in his voice evident. ā€œRed Robin, Robin and I are coming in from the top.ā€
Pat hasnā€™t even made it up off the floor yet, scrambling backwards, fear plain on his face.Ā 
Red Robin stands, breathing heavily, gun still in hand.
ā€œIā€™m sorry, Iā€™m sorry, I swear I didnā€™t mean to do it! Pleaseā€”please, donā€™t, please!ā€
Red Robin doesnā€™t kill.
Well, no, Red Robin doesnā€™t normally kill.
No, thatā€™s not quite right, either.
Red Robin has killed. Red Robin will more than likely kill again. Red Robin sees no problem with killing.
The gun is up, pointing towards the guy without any real thought about it.
Footsteps rush behind him, the familiar heavy footfalls of Batman and Robin, so he doesnā€™t bother turning around. The gun follows the guy as he keeps pulling himself backwards, snot and tears mingling down his face.
ā€œRed Robin,ā€ Batman says, softly.
Itā€™s always weird hearing Batmanā€™s voice like that. Itā€™s not the first time, obviouslyā€”Batman canā€™t use his scary intimidating voice on victims or children, after allā€”but having it used on him is weird.Ā 
ā€œBreathe.ā€
ā€œHeā€™s dead. They killed him.ā€
If hearing Batmanā€™s voice was weird, Red Robin canā€™t even recognise his own.
Distantly, he realises heā€™s dissociating. Thereā€™s a tightness in his chest, itā€™s hard to breathe, a growing buzz drowns out any noise in his ears and he canā€™t think, he canā€™tā€”
A heavy hand squeezes his shoulder, jolting him out of his thoughts. Batman reaches around and gently removes the gun from his grip, and Tim feels the instant loss of it. He should have done it, why hadnā€™t he done it?
Robin takes care of the last man, his crying cut off by a swift kick to the head. Nightwing and Red Hood join them, zip-tying the men on the floor and starting to drag them back to the entrance of the warehouse one by one.
No one says a word.
Shrugging off Batmanā€™s hand, Tim moves towards the chair.
Shaking, he takes a deep breath and removes the sack. The small part of him that was left hoping it wasnā€™t him, it couldnā€™t be him, please dear God let it not be him, shatters.
Even dead, he looks peaceful.
Timā€™s seen death. Heā€™s no stranger to it, heā€™s seen what it can do to a person. Thereā€™s some blood coagulating over his eyebrows, but otherwise, he looks peaceful. Is that comforting? That he didnā€™t suffer?
Dannyā€™s head lolls to the side as the sack comes completely away, his hair flopping over his eyes. Timā€™s been on at him to get a haircut lately, he thinks itā€™ll be nice tidied up a bit, just on the sides. Itā€™ll get rid of that permanent bedhead. Help him with job interviews, heā€™s got to be thinking about that now that heā€™s in his last year of college.
Itā€™s about the only thing thatā€™ll hold him back, Tim thinks. Dannyā€™s brilliant. Any employer would be a fool to turn him down because of his shaggy hair, but employers are stupid so it makes sense to put your best foot forward andā€”
Tim falls to his knees.
Fuck.
Heā€™s dead, heā€™s reallyā€”Dannyā€™s skin is horribly pale, cold to the touch. Gone is his bright, cheerful smile.Ā 
ā€œDanny, Iā€™m sorry, Iā€™m so, so sorry, Iā€”ā€Ā 
He stops himself with a deep, shuddering breath. He canā€™t break down here, he canā€™t, he canā€™t, he canā€™t.
Instead, he tips forward to rest his head in Dannyā€™s lap, arms curling around himself. They were too late. They got here as fast as they could and they were too late.
Ā ā€œDanny, Iā€™m so sorryā€¦ā€ he whispers. ā€œIā€¦ I love you, I love you, Iā€™m sorry.ā€
Dimly, he can feel the others standing around them. Someone crouches down beside him, resting a comforting arm over his back, but he doesnā€™t turn his head to see who it is. He squeezes his grip on Dannyā€™s legs tighter.
ā€œCome on, baby bird. Letā€™sā€”ā€
Theyā€™re interrupted by a huge, honking snore as Danny jerks himself awake.
Timā€™s head snaps up, staring at Danny with wide eyes.
ā€œYou were asleep?ā€ Red Robin springs up, several different emotions rapidly flip flopping through him.
ā€œWhaā€¦ What?ā€ Danny heaves a yawn, blinking blearily down at him. ā€œSorry, Iā€™m justā€¦ they were shit kidnappers, man, really boring. Honestly, worst abduction yet.ā€
ā€œYou were asleep? I thought you were dead!ā€
ā€œNot mutually exlusive, you know.ā€ Danny says through another yawn. He rolls his neck around with an almighty crack and glances at everyone. ā€œDidnā€™t think Iā€™d warrant the whole Bat brigade, thoughā€¦ā€
ā€œThe kidnappers thought they had Tim Drake.ā€ Batman supplies, while Red Robin tries to work through the emotional whiplash.
ā€œAh, makes senseā€¦ wait.ā€ Danny sits up suddenly, squinting at Red Robin. ā€œDid you say you loved me?ā€
ā€œNo, of course not, why would Iā€”ā€
ā€œTim? Is thatā€”are youā€”are you Red Robin?ā€
ā€œEveryone, hold the fuck up!ā€ Red Hood shouts from the other side of the warehouse, having finished securing the perps to a streetlight outside. ā€œDouble R is dating Danny fucking Nightingale?ā€
Well, there goes his identityā€¦ Oh, whoā€™s he kidding, Dannyā€™s smart. Thereā€™s no way he could have salvaged that. This was not how he thought the night was going to go.
ā€œCranberry, is that you?ā€ Danny twists in his chair, somehow delighted to see Red Hood rescuing him, too. ā€œI thought I smelled you lurking about!ā€
ā€œShut it, you little shit. Since when were you dating this dweeb?ā€
ā€œIā€™m sorry,ā€ Red Robin pleads, hands in the air to try and slow down the onslaught of information and insults, ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½you two know each other?ā€
ā€œCranberry?ā€ Nightwing echoes, looking as lost as Red Robin feels.
ā€œYeah, Cranberryā€”The Cranberriesā€”zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie. Obviously. Also heā€™s wearing a big, fuck off red helmet.ā€
ā€œYeah, sure, makes sense.ā€
Itā€™s about the only thing that does.
ā€œAnd please donā€™t call my boyfriend a dweeb, Cranberry. Especially when he just said he loves me for the first time.ā€
ā€œHe only said it because he thought you were dead.ā€
ā€œI am dead, so it counts.ā€
ā€œOnly half, so Iā€™d say that puts you at a solid ā€˜likeā€™. Timā€™sā€”and savour this, Tim, because Iā€™m only going to say it onceā€”Timā€™s intelligent, so Iā€™m sure heā€™ll come to his senses soon.ā€
Danny just throws Red Hood such a shit-eating grin. A level of feral that Timā€™s only seen before in Damian.Ā 
ā€œThatā€™s what I used to say about Jazz, too.ā€
Hood scoffs in offence, and to be honest, Timā€™s not sure where he should go from here. What the hell is happening, how do they know each other?
ā€œCome on, is anyone going to untie me or am I really meeting your family mafia-style?ā€
ā€œDo it yourself, Slimer.ā€ Red Hood laughs, crossing his arms.
ā€œUgh, you suck so much. Iā€™ll fucking slime you, just you wait. Canā€™t believe Jazz even likes you, I preferred it when she was dating Johnny.ā€
And then, without Danny doing anything other than muttering obscenities at Red Hood, the ropes fall to the ground. In one swift motion, Danny stands up and stretches himself to his full height of 5ā€™6.
ā€œAll of you need to explain, now.ā€ commands Batman, and honestly, Red Robinā€™s very much on his side of it.
ā€œI canā€™t believe itā€¦ Jason and Timmy are both in secret relationships? Thatā€™sā€¦ How come no one told me?ā€ Poor Nightwing sounds the most shocked out of all of them. He turns to Damian and clasps onto both of his shoulders. ā€œYouā€™re not secretly dating, are you, D? Please tell me youā€™re not, please tell me youā€™re single, please?ā€
Of course, Robin just clicks his tongue and pushes his hands away. Really, Red Robin doesnā€™t think that Nightwingā€™s in any danger of that happening, heā€™d be surprised if anyone could stand Robin enough to actually date him.
He shakes his head and turns to Danny, whoā€™s staring right back at him, worry clear on his face.
Fuck, he... He's alive. He's really alive.
Tim pulls him into a bone-crushing hug, fingers buried deep in his NASA shirt. Tucking his face into the crook of Danny's shoulder, he laughs wetly with the joy of it. He's alive. He hasn't lost him. He's safe.
ā€œIā€™m sorry I havenā€™t told you before now, starshine, butā€¦ā€ Danny breaks the hug and softly pulls away from him to rise on his tiptoes to place a kiss his cheek. The skin burns cold where his lips touch. ā€œI love you, too. Also, youā€™re gonna wanna sit down. This is going to be a lot.ā€

of tenā€™s companions, if the doctor couldnā€™t handle losing them and crossed his own timeline to trick them into traveling with future!him instead of past!him so that heā€™d have a little more time with them:
rose would do it. first because bless her but she has the situational awareness of a rock, and legitimately would not realize this isnā€™t her doctor until his facade starts to break down and he starts bleeding grief-laced love for her at every turn. but once she does realize it, sheā€™s both deeply sympathetic and a little scared that she could make him into this. itā€™s a lot to be confronted with having that much power over someone, to break them so thoroughly. rose would try to get back to her doctor, but while sheā€™s with the future version, she tries to do what she can to ease his pain. (she also tries to figure out a way to subvert her fate. she fails.)
i think martha would be harder to trick. she can smell desperation on the doctor like a bloodhound. she is so tapped into the fact that this man wants to off himself so bad and that sheā€™s 90% of his self-restraint, so present her with a doctor who is lacking that and sheā€™s onto him immediately. however, assuming he gets her to come with him, explains why heā€™s doing this, thereā€™s like. a minute where sheā€™s kind of. not flattered exactly, but surprised, giddy with the realization that heā€™d come back for a little more time with her, especially if this is early season 3 martha. which would all come crashing down around the time that he reveals that he wasnā€™t pushed to this by losing her to some tragedy or her death or anything- but that she chose to leave. that is the point at which martha goes ā€˜oh i need to get the fuck off of this tardis right nowā€™ and ghosts the past!doctor that she was also traveling with because holy shit, man.
donna, like rose, is easily bamboozled into following the wrong doctor home, provided that he shuffles her along into his tardis too fast for her to argue. but she catches on far quicker than rose does. like, three minutes tops of watching the doctor move through the tardis in a way thatā€™s definitely not enthusiastic piloting and looks more like guilty panic. and then she yells at him for lying to her. and she yells at him for kidnapping her. and then she stops yelling because heā€™s gone sort of still and quiet and his eyes are just broken. and he doesnā€™t explain himself, he confesses. donna is going to try to stay with him after this btw. because how do you go back to looking your best friend in the eyes when you know heā€™d take everything youā€™ve become away from you, even to save your life? and this is still the doctor, he still did that to her, but he regrets it. regrets it so much that he canā€™t live with it, heā€™s breaking time and space just to hear her say his name again. and donna doesnā€™t want to lose him anymore than he wanted to lose her.
#i am so enthralled by this concept you have no idea#also like. i mentioned in roseā€™s section how this is a genuinely scary situation for her.#but to be clear. it is for all three of them the moment they realize that this Is Not Their Doctor#because theyre suddenly on a ship going through time ans space with. almost a stranger. and one who has proven that heā€™s break laws#fundamental to his worldview rather than let them go#doctor who#rose tyler#martha jones#martha girl get the fuck out of there oh my god#the doctor comes out looking the worst in her section rip to him for not handling her leaving him in a normal and healthy way very well#i think it would be very funny if the doctor said goodbye to her and then immediately went. ā€˜oh! right! martha is the only thing keeping me#from jumping off a cliff! brb i need to get martha back at whatever cost!ā€™ sir go to therapy#donna noble#also also to be clear im not trying to insult rose in her section thats just how she is#remember that time her boyfriend turned into plastic in front of her and she. didnt notice. or that time the doctor was being strangled in#the other room and she. didnt notice.#rose tyler girl that you are. you never know what the fuck is going on around you and i love you for that. how are you still alive.#REMEMBER THAT TIME SHE GOT BACK FROM AN ALTERNATE DIMENSION AND DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THE DALEK ABOUT TO SHOOT THE DOCTOR IN THE FACE#ROSE TYLER. GIRL. LOOK LEFT AND RIGHT BEFORE CROSSING A STREET AT LEAST#donnaā€™s here is the most fucked up i think because even if this situation is ā€˜resolvedā€™ and she goes back to her doctor like. how does she#keep going with that fact in the back of her mind at all times. that he can and will do this to her. that heā€™ll take himself and everything#else away from her while she begs him not to.#angst <3

some of you should not speak on dennis until you've rewatched sunny in full instead of just the macden-centric eps.
#literally not even a matter of like. different interpretations it's just some of y'all forget literal canon events that disprove shit#i get schooled by people abt den too i have my weaknesses w writing him#but like oh my god#some of y'all would be better off if you looked at him outside of a macden context#he's not evil incarnate#he's fucked up and he does awful shit#but that is a little boy wearing an adult face#to just make him evil for no reason completely removes any interesting bits of him.#one of the keys to sunny's writing is that#rcg always makes sure that motivation is understandable *in that character's eyes*#dennis has a very specific purpose for everything he does#he isn't just cruel for no fucking reason#he's 'brutally honest' because he thinks its his duty to break the news#he's absolutely entitled and arrogant and misogynistic#but he doesn't set out to be Mean just for the sake of it#den thinks he is doing good. he thinks he's in the right. its not him it's everyone else.#he's doing you a favour by saying you're ugly (and propping up his own decimated self esteem)#that being said he's also not innocent pookie either#but i would say its like. in a lot of ways he IS oblivious to the reality of what hes saying/doing#part of that is his privilege as a white man who grew up being supported by and continues to be supported by his parent's wealth#but the gang enables the shit he does just as frank financially enables him#they are so insular it's like impossible to break out of the gang and interact with normal people#because if they don't get it then dennis is going straight back to the gang to feel validated and to hell w everyone else#on some level he knows shit is unacceptable but he's never learned Why and never will because theres no reason to#like when mac is completely fucking shocked by den talking abt the implication dennis CANNOT let that go unchecked#he needs mac to understand him because he's realizing that it's *actually* fucked up. bc even mac thinks so.#and when dee calls what happened with klinsky Rape everything IMMEDIATELY crumbles for him#dennis is introspective but he will justify shit and compartmentalize until his friends challenge it#he looks to media; tv and movies where the protagonist gets away with shit because its schlock fiction#and dennis DOES see himself as a protagonist. it's all justifiable bc he's the good guy.

I've come to the conclusion that loving young royals doesn't mean I can't be critical about it, maybe especially bc I love the show so much I have such strong feelings about it, good and bad and I can love parts of canon and agree with it and appreciate it but I don't have to love it all. I have accepted that it's okay if I don't accept the ending and I don't have to force myself to support it. It's okay to not agree with all of canon and it's okay to not side with all of the creators' intentions/views. Loving a show doesn't mean you have to take everything the writers say on face value and that's the only version that is allowed to exist. Canon isn't everything and fandom is about curating your own experience that makes you happy and not miserable. You don't have to dismiss canon in every aspect and ignore it entirely, that's certainly not what I want but there is a fine line between being canon respectful, allowing some parts to exist and sometimes, yes, you just have to say "fuck canon" and move on for your own sanity and wellbeing
#yrtalk#young royals#personal#especically in the first two weeks of a new release everyone is feelings lots of intense emotions ranging from ecstatic to angry#everything in between is a part of it and i know i'm also feeling very strongly about it right now#i always try to stay levelheaded and rational and see things from an objective pov and be diplomatic about discourse#i don't want any of what i say drift off too much into meaningless hate instead of the constructive criticism it's supposed to be#but when you feel so strongly about something and sometimes you really just wanna say yeah i fucking hate it lol#but i always try to explain why and give understandable arguments and not just blindly hate on something#for example - I'm aware there are fans who have some problems with s2 and don't love the season whereas i do and it's my fave#and there is a difference between expressing some criticism and justified concerns which you can understand where it comes from#and those who are just like 'oh it's a horrible season. it was so shitty and we should get rid of it' which is dumb hate and just not true#and i can't support people like that and take them seriously#i can have my own issues with s3 from a subjective pov which can also include some justified criticism as well#but also still acknowledge it as a truly good piece of tv media and the quality is top notch#and that's why you have such high expectations and have critique because it is so good and sets such a high standard#with that being said i understand ppl not wanting to see any critic about it if they are riding the high of happy wilmon endgame#but that doesn't mean that i can't express my own opinions on my own blog and i will continue to do so#and maybe one day i will feel differently and accept or even like the ending who knows#but it doesn't have to happen. it's fine if it does but it's also fine if it doesn't
