Two Truths and A Lie

Fandom: Young Justice, Dick Grayson/Wally West Written around 6 years ago for the prompt “surprise” Read it on AO3 “My turn,” Robin said, grinning as he held up three fingers. “I read four dictionaries in their entirety when I was nine,” he said dropping one finger, “I’ve talked to seven world leaders, including the president of the United States,” and another one down, “and I once stole a bone from the dinosaur skeleton in the Batcave.”

The team began conferring. By the rules of the game, Robin only told one lie, but which of those facts could possibly be true?

He crossed his arms and smirked, satisfied that he’d stumped his team. They seemed stuck on whether or not there was actually a dinosaur in the Batcave or if he’d been able to read four languages when he was that young.

Well, everyone except Wally, who was quiet and looked supremely unsurprised. When the rest of the team were ready, they began guessing.

Artemis said the dictionaries, Kaldur said world leaders and M’gann and Connor said the Batcave because they didn’t believe there was actually a dinosaur in there. Wally said the Batcave because “come on, you’re far to goody two shoes to steal from Batman”. Everyone laughed and Robin admitted that he was right.

“But there is an entire dinosaur there?” Connor asked.

“I’m not sure I’m even surprised at this point,” Artemis deadpanned.

Wally shrugged, unimpressed.

They continued playing the game for another couple of rounds, though no one got quite the same reaction as Robin had. Eventually it got late enough that everyone retired to their own rooms. Well, everyone except Dick and Wally because Dick was on call and Wally was planning on crashing on the couch. It looked like he already had, except he looked up when Robin vaulted over the couch and landed exactly in the spot between the back and the speedster’s legs.

“So” Dick said, stretching out to lay on top of his friend, “you knew there was a dinosaur in the Cave?”

Wally turned on the TV and began channel surfing. “I wasn’t surprised to find out about it.”

“Seriously?”

Now he looked at Dick. “Dude, you grew up in circus before becoming the ward of like the richest dude around, not to mention you fight crime every night and have to actually remember to make sound when you enter a room, nothing about your life can surprise me.”

Dick frowned for a moment, then he grinned. That sounded like a challenge.

Wally, it turns out, was a really hard person to impress. Superheroes had been part of his world for almost as long as they’d been part of Dick’s, so none of Dick’s stories about Catwoman or the Riddler or Poison Ivy ever really phased him. They were entertaining, sure, and he apparently like hearing about Dick’s crazier adventures with Batman, but he was never surprised. So superheroes were out.

Unfortunately, as his best friend (and the only person he’d ever told his secret identity to) Wally already knew pretty much everything about Dick’s life pre-Bruce Wayne.

Which meant that Wally was right, there really was nothing Dick could say that could surprise him.

But Dick was Robin and he had a mission. He wasn’t going to fail.

“You know, I’ve eaten Alligator before,” Dick commented after they finished a mission involving Killer Croc, sewers, and a desperate lack of noseplugs.

"At one of those benefit things?” Wally asked like it was the most normal topic in the world. Dick sighed.

Dick tapped Wally’s leg with Penguin’s cane to get his attention. “Oh hey,” he said, face lighting up when he saw Dick, “did you hear about that new Call of Duty game that just came out?”

He didn’t even glance at the cane.

“Did you take a dip in the lake?” Wally asked when Dick zeta’d into the base dripping wet.

“Harbor actually,” he replied as cheerily as he could as his teeth rattled. “Bats and I got gassed and I w-woke up on a b-boat.”

“Areyoualright?” Wally asked as he zipped to Dick’s side, wrapped his arms around his freezing friend, then began vibrating to create enough friction to warm him up.

“Rope wasn’t very tight,” he said, already beginning to feel better. “Easy peasy to get out and swim for shore.”

“All in a day’s work, huh Boy Wonder?”

Apparently.

Weeks had passed and Dick still hadn’t managed to surprise Wally. Maybe his friend was right- once you knew about Dick Grayson, there wasn’t really anything that could phase you.

Please... You’re scaring me

Fandom: Young Justice, Dick Grayson/Wally West Written around 7 years ago for the dialogue prompt “Please... you’re scaring me” Read it on AO3 “Rob? What are you doing?” Wally said as he rubbed his physics textbook glazed eyes to see the young hero outside his bedroom window.

While Wally was never opposed to Dick crawling in through his window in the middle of the night (not like that, Dick is just a total night owl and sometimes takes Wally with him when he’s getting into trouble) he did have a test tomorrow and while it would probably be easy, he promised his parents he’d try to get some sleep tonight. Then again, Wally broke promises to his parents all the time.

He walked over to open the window and was startled to see that Dick was dressed entirely in black. While what he wore as a civilian changed drastically (his school uniform and suits when they were in Gotham, everything from tanks tops to skirts to sundresses and brightly colored scarves when they were anywhere else) he always wore the Robin suit at night.

‘You always have to be ready for an emergency,’ he’d say. 'Well you don’t KF, you’re pretty much always ready, but the rest of us y’know?’

Wally did know. Which was why he was so surprised to by the lack of the costume right now.

His surprise didn’t end there. As soon as the window was open, Dick entered the room. That was pretty normal. What wasn’t normal was the way he looked around like he’d never been in here before. And this wasn’t 'curious Dick Grayson exploring the interactive exhibits at the Central Science Museum’ looking around, this was ‘Robin assessing the threats and assets of a location’ looking around. It wasn’t the kind of examination that needed, or should be happening, in Wally’s bedroom.

When Wally took a step toward Dick, his friend’s gaze snapped toward him and regarded him coldly. “Uh, Rob?”

“Wallace West,” uh oh, that couldn’t possibly be good, “the Court of Owls has sentenced you to die.”

“Huh?”

Real smooth Wally. Definitely the proper way to respond to the situation.

Luckily, he didn’t have to really think about talking because instead of answering him, Dick just surged forward. Wally was a speedster, so he could have easily stepped out of the way, but whether it was curiosity or just plain old shock, something kept him rooted in place. Dick slammed into him and then pinned him against the wall, one arm braced against his throat. It didn’t escape Wally that his friend had to practically stand on his tiptoes to keep him pinned.

“Dude,” he said, feeling Dick’s arm press harder as he began talking, “if you think you’ve got me, you are so wrong.” And then he swept his leg in arc aimed at Dick’s ankles. Dick jumped over his foot, but that took the pressure off his throat, which was all Wally needed to use his speed to grab Dick’s arm and throw him to the side as Wally ran to the middle of his room.

Dick immediately spun to face him. He’d drawn two escrima sticks- something Wally had occasionally seen him practicing with in Mount Justice’s gym- and then clicked something that made small little knives shoot out the ends. Wally wasn’t positive but he was pretty sure that defeated the point of that particular weapon. Also Dick was grinning, and he was starting to get seriously freaked out. He caught himself stepping backward when he saw Dick advance.

He had to get out of this cramped little room if they were really going to fight. “Hey y’know, maybe we can just talk this out? Whatdya say, whoever is up there in that noggin? Wanna talk about it?”

“No one controls me,” Dick growled. He didn’t strike, but Wally could see his muscles tense. If he provoked him any more, he knew he would.

“Well, now I know you’re not my friend, because Batman absolutely controls Robin’s life.”

That was supposed to get a rise out of him. Instead Dick just cocked his head. He looked for all the world like he was trying to figure out what relevance that could possibly have to the situation at hand. That was very not good.

“If you hold still, this can be painless.”

Fuck.

“Sorry man, ’still’ isn’t really in my vocabulary.”

“I hoped to test my skills anyway.”

And then Dick lunged.

This time, Wally didn’t intend to stay still long enough for Dick to land a blow. He immediately jumped out of the way, running around and behind Dick. He landed a pretty solid kick to the back of Dick’s knee. Instead of getting caught off guard by his leg collapsing under him though, Dick just knelt on his good knee and spun, one escrima-knife arcing toward Wally’s legs. He jumped away and waited for Dick’s next move.

It was unnerving for Dick to be this quiet when they were fighting. Wally knew that it wasn’t really him up in there, but it was still unnerving.

“Those skills aren’t serving you too well right now, huh?”

Dick didn’t respond, just stood up and attacked Wally again. This time he was ready and jumped right as Dick came in close, using his back as a vault and landing on… a loose piece of paper. Wally just had time to swear before the traitorous psychics homework slid right out from under him, taking his leg with it.

Dick got up before he could and didn’t hesitate to jump onto his chest, one blade resting on Wally’s throat. He grinned. That was an expression Wally recognized. That was the ‘gotcha’ grin.

“Please Rob,” he said, and he could feel his voice tremble a little, god, his best friend was going to kill him, “…you’re scaring me.”

Dick pushed the blade harder against his throat and Wally felt a line of blood travel down his neck. The cut itself would heal in a negligible amount of time, but the threat remained.

ah, well!! in that case, welcome! i have a few i can solidly recommend to get you started. a lot of these are going to be bats, because that’s where i have done the most reading, but i’ll try to mix in some variety:

honestly, pretty much anything by greg rucka. he’s an excellent writer. specific recommendations include “batwoman: elegy,” “huntress: cry for blood,” and his time with Wonder Woman during her 1987 title run. it’s not all perfect, but none of his stuff has really turned me off in any way. (also, his indie comic “the forged” is full of a really great cast of women!)

continuing the indie comic thread, kieron gillen’s “die” comic from 2019. he’s also got the wicked + the divine, which has a few stellar female characters in a broader cast.

more bats: batgirl (2000) for cassandra cain, and batgirl (2009) for stephanie brown. (also, i love how Steph is written during jon lewis’ time writing robin 1993. that’s mostly tim’s run, but she’s A Part Of It and she’s important to me.)

hawkeye (2016) by kelly thompson, the run about kate bishop running a private eye business in Los Angeles. it’s a different vibe from like, every other comic i’ve recommended? but i love it so so dearly.

supergirl: woman of tomorrow (2021) by… sigh. tom king. mr. king is… controversial, to put it lightly. but this run is literally required reading (lighthearted). it’s so, so good.

huntress (1989) is also fantastic and a good look at vintage comics and how they give women agency and explore feminism during the time. mind the content warnings, though.

black canary (1991) is a little 4-issue run that i enjoy just because the art is cool, dinah is the light of my life, and you get to see her doing cool detective stuff. not groundbreaking, but a good place to start if you want to learn about her.

Wonder Woman: Historia. this one, i’m not going to explain to you, because I think anything I say will do the run itself a disservice. it’s stunning, it’s well written, and it’s almost entirely women. what more could you want!

poison ivy (2022) is so… so good. particularly the first six issues, when it was meant to be a limited run with a concise ending. it’s still fun after that period ends, but the vibes of an ongoing run with an indefinite ending are a little less pointed and deliberate, so. yknow. give it a shot if you want, it’s a low stakes thing after the initial arc is done.

i’ll also say, while i haven’t read them, i know people care a great deal about young justice 1998 and the new teen titans, in part because they have such strong and compelling ladies on their lineups. those are good places to look if you want women on a team rather than a solo female comic. i’ve also heard excellent things about supergirl’s 1996 run, although i haven’t gotten around to reading it yet.

as for what to avoid… my god. that is a complicated question. a lot of the authors in comics have a tendency to write a really good run one or two times and then completely fucking beef it later. generally, though, the standard rules i’ve seen are not to listen to anything said by ge//off jo//hns or gra//nt morri//son. (i am not putting this in their tags. i refuse.)

otherwise, when to ignore or engage with a writer is frequently dependent on things like who they’re writing, what run it is, the political climate of the U.S. at the time, the message editorial wants to send, the era the comics are in, and indeterminable things like the positions of the planets and the direction of the wind.

welcome to comics! i hope this helps you find a few ladies to tuck in your pocket and run.

being a liker of women in comics is the hardest thing in the world. you read one spectacular run about her that rewrites your entire brain and then after that it's like. do you want the run where she's a sexy lamp. the one where she's a generic love interest. the one where she's needlessly infantilized. or the one where her entire backstory is erased in order to make her a surprise villain and evil temptress.

Hi. I’m curious. What did you mean by “women who read fiction might get Bad Ideas!!!” has just reached its latest and stupidest form via tumblr purity culture.? I haven’t seen any of this but I’m new to tumblr.

Oh man. You really want to get me into trouble on, like, my first day back, don’t you?

Pretty much all of this has been explained elsewhere by people much smarter than me, so this isn’t necessarily going to say anything new, but I’ll do my best to synthesize and summarize it. As ever, it comes with the caveat that it is my personal interpretation, and is not intended as the be-all, end-all. You’ll definitely run across it if you spend any time on Tumblr (or social media in general, including Twitter, and any other fandom-related spaces). This will get long.

In short: in the nineteenth century, when Gothic/romantic literature became popular and women were increasingly able to read these kinds of novels for fun, there was an attendant moral panic over whether they, with their weak female brains, would be able to distinguish fiction from reality, and that they might start making immoral or inappropriate choices in their real life as a result. Obviously, there was a huge sexist and misogynistic component to this, and it would be nice to write it off entirely as just hysterical Victorian pearl-clutching, but that feeds into the “lol people in the past were all much stupider than we are today” kind of historical fallacy that I often and vigorously shut down. (Honestly, I’m not sure how anyone can ever write the “omg medieval people believed such weird things about medicine!” nonsense again after what we’ve gone through with COVID, but that is a whole other rant.) The thinking ran that women shouldn’t read novels for fear of corrupting their impressionable brains, or if they had to read novels at all, they should only be the Right Ones: i.e., those that came with a side of heavy-handed and explicit moralizing so that they wouldn’t be tempted to transgress. Of course, books trying to hammer their readers over the head with their Moral Point aren’t often much fun to read, and that’s not the point of fiction anyway. Or at least, it shouldn’t be.

Fast-forward to today, and the entire generation of young, otherwise well-meaning people who have come to believe that being a moral person involves only consuming the “right” kind of fictional content, and being outrageously mean to strangers on the internet who do not agree with that choice. There are a lot of factors contributing to this. First, the advent of social media and being subject to the judgment of people across the world at all times has made it imperative that you demonstrate the “right” opinions to fit in with your peer-group, and on fandom websites, that often falls into a twisted, hyper-critical, so-called “progressivism” that diligently knows all the social justice buzzwords, but has trouble applying them in nuance, context, and complicated real life. To some extent, this obviously is not a bad thing. People need to be critical of the media they engage with, to know what narratives the creator(s) are promoting, the tropes they are using, the conclusions that they are supporting, and to be able to recognize and push back against genuinely harmful content when it is produced – and this distinction is critical – by professional mainstream creators. Amateur, individual fan content is another kettle of fish. There is a difference between critiquing a professional creator (though social media has also made it incredibly easy to atrociously abuse them) and attacking your fellow fan and peer, who is on the exact same footing as you as a consumer of that content.

Obviously, again, this doesn’t mean that you can’t call out people who are engaging in actually toxic or abusive behavior, fans or otherwise. But certain segments of Tumblr culture have drained both those words (along with “gaslighting”) of almost all critical meaning, until they’re applied indiscriminately to “any fictional content that I don’t like, don’t agree with, or which doesn’t seem to model healthy behavior in real life” and “anyone who likes or engages with this content.” Somewhere along the line, a reactionary mindset has been formed in which the only fictional narratives or relationships are those which would be “acceptable” in real life, to which I say…. what? If I only wanted real life, I would watch the news and only read non-fiction. Once again, the underlying fear, even if it’s framed in different terms, is that the people (often women) enjoying this content can’t be trusted to tell the difference between fiction and reality, and if they like “problematic” fictional content, they will proceed to seek it out in their real life and personal relationships. And this is just… not true.

As I said above, critical media studies and thoughtful consumption of entertainment are both great things! There have been some great metas written on, say, the Marvel Cinematic Universe and how it is increasingly relying on villains who have outwardly admirable motives (see: the Flag Smashers in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) who are then stigmatized by their anti-social, violent behavior and attacks on innocent people, which is bad even as the heroes also rely on violence to achieve their ends. This is a clever way to acknowledge social anxieties – to say that people who identify with the Flag Smashers are right, to an extent, but then the instant they cross the line into violence, they’re upsetting the status quo and need to be put down by the heroes. I watched TFATWS and obviously enjoyed it. I have gone on a Marvel re-watching binge recently as well. I like the MCU! I like the characters and the madcap sci-fi adventures! But I can also recognize it as a flawed piece of media that I don’t have to accept whole-cloth, and to be able to criticize some of the ancillary messages that come with it. It doesn’t have to be black and white.

When it comes to shipping, moreover, the toxic culture of “my ship is better than your ship because it’s Better in Real Life” ™ is both well-known and in my opinion, exhausting and pointless. As also noted, the whole point of fiction is that it allows us to create and experience realities that we don’t always want in real life. I certainly enjoy plenty of things in fiction that I would definitely not want in reality: apocalyptic space operas, violent adventures, and yes, garbage men. A large number of my ships over the years have been labeled “unhealthy” for one reason or another, presumably because they don’t adhere to the stereotype of the coffee-shop AU where there’s no tension and nobody ever makes mistakes or is allowed to have serious flaws. And I’m not even bagging on coffee-shop AUs! Some people want to remove characters from a violent situation and give them that fluff and release from the nonstop trauma that TV writers merrily inflict on them without ever thinking about the consequences. Fanfiction often focuses on the psychology and healing of characters who have been through too much, and since that’s something we can all relate to right now, it’s a very powerful exercise. As a transformative and interpretive tool, fanfic is pretty awesome.

The problem, again, comes when people think that fic/fandom can only be used in this way, and that going the other direction, and exploring darker or complicated or messy dynamics and relationships, is morally bad. As has been said before: shipping is not activism. You don’t get brownie points for only having “healthy” ships (and just my personal opinion as a queer person, these often tend to be heterosexual white ships engaging in notably heteronormative behavior) and only supporting behavior in fiction that you think is acceptable in real life. As we’ve said, there is a systematic problem in identifying what that is. Ironically, for people worried about Women Getting Ideas by confusing fiction and reality, they’re doing the same thing, and treating fiction like reality. Fiction is fiction. Nobody actually dies. Nobody actually gets hurt. These people are not real. We need to normalize the idea of characters as figments of a creator’s imagination, not actual people with their own agency. They exist as they are written, and by the choice of people whose motives can be scrutinized and questioned, but they themselves are not real. Nor do characters reflect the author’s personal views. Period.

This feeds into the fact that the internet, and fandom culture, is not intended as a “safe space” in the sense that no questionable or triggering content can ever be posted. Archive of Our Own, with its reams of scrupulous tagging and requests for you to explicitly click and confirm that you are of age to see M or E-rated content, is a constant target of the purity cultists for hosting fictional material that they see as “immoral.” But it repeatedly, unmistakably, directly asks you for your consent to see this material, and if you then act unfairly victimized, well… that’s on you. You agreed to look at this, and there are very few cases where you didn’t know what it entailed. Fandom involves adults creating contents for adults, and while teenagers and younger people can and do participate, they need to understand this fact, rather than expecting everything to be a PG Disney movie.

When I do write my “dark” ships with garbage men, moreover, they always involve a lot of the man being an idiot, being bluntly called out for an idiot, and learning healthier patterns of behavior, which is one of the fundamental patterns of romance novels. But they also involve an element of the woman realizing that societal standards are, in fact, bullshit, and she can go feral every so often, as a treat. But even if I wrote them another way, that would still be okay! There are plenty of ships and dynamics that I don’t care for and don’t express in my fic and fandom writing, but that doesn’t mean I seek out the people who do like them and reprimand them for it. I know plenty of people who use fiction, including dark fiction, in a cathartic way to process real-life trauma, and that’s exactly the role – one of them, at least – that fiction needs to be able to fulfill. It would be terribly boring and limited if we were only ever allowed to write about Real Life and nothing else. It needs to be complicated, dark, escapist, unreal, twisted, and whatever else. This means absolutely zilch about what the consumers of this fiction believe, act, or do in their real lives.

Once more, I do note the misogyny underlying this. Nobody, after all, seems to care what kind of books or fictional narratives men read, and there’s no reflection on whether this is teaching them unhealthy patterns of behavior, or whether it predicts how they’ll act in real life. (There was some of that with the “do video games cause mass shootings?”, but it was a straw man to distract from the actual issues of toxic masculinity and gun culture.) Certain kinds of fiction, especially historical fiction, romance novels, and fanfic, are intensely gendered and viewed as being “women’s fiction” and therefore hyper-criticized, while nobody’s asking if all the macho-man potboiler military-intrigue tough-guy stereotypical “men’s fiction” is teaching them bad things. So the panic about whether your average woman on the internet is reading dark fanfic with an Unhealthy Ship (zomgz) is, in my opinion, misguided at best, and actively destructive at worst.

BnHA Chapter 314: ...Or You Live Long Enough to See Yourself Become the Villain

Previously on BnHA: Some random assholes were all “let’s throw exploding spears at All Might and see if it activates his Conqueror’s Haki” and SURPRISE, MOTHERFUCKERS, IT DID!! Elsewhere, Lady Nagant confusingly tried to capture Deku alive by shooting him in the stomach, but to be fair I guess that’s what happens when you send an assassin to do a bounty hunter’s job, so yeah. Deku was all “ouch”, and then because this is a shounen he basically just straight up forgot about it, and did a big fancy Smokescreen thing, and then activated his mildly incomprehensible new ki-blasting quirk which he got from the Third. En and the Third were all “hey Deku maybe let’s not just impulsively activate all this shit in the heat of battle when you don’t know how to use it yet and you’re already injured,” and Deku was all “thanks for the quirks guys but I’ll take it from here” and snuck up on Nagant and grabbed her arm and so now what’s going to happen I wonder.

Today on BnHA: Nagant is all “[shoots Deku again]” because of course she is lol. Deku is all “tell me about AFO!” and Nagant is all “why would I tell you anything?” and then proceeds to tell him her entire life story which is FILLED WITH SO MUCH MURDER, YOU GUYS. Holy shit. So basically she was an assassin for the HPSC, which we already knew, but somehow it’s one thing to know that, and another to actually see her running around capping dudes in the forehead and being covered in more blood than the elevator from The Shining. Anyway, so you’ll never believe it, but all that murder had a negative impact on her psychologically, and eventually led her to question everything she believed about hero society, and so she killed her creepy boss and was promptly sent to Tartarus. This extremely fun chapter ends with Overhaul showing up all “HI, HELLO, I’M STILL HERE”, because for some reason he is still here. Why are you still here, Overhaul.

“the beautiful Lady Nagant” oh you know your audience don’t you Horikoshi

well all right then! so I’m guessing this means that she is not, in fact, going to roll over and die just because Deku’s out here all “GOT YA!” like they’re playing a game or tag or something. ffff may the manga gods have mercy on our young suicidal protagonist

lmao so Deku is all “GOD I’M SO SMART, WHAT A GOOD STRATEGY I HAD, CAPITOL JOB THERE OL’ CHAP, CAPITOL” and lol, okay. I mean, it was a good plan though. but I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop here

“I’ll make you give me information on All for One” well there you go, lol. Deku Angst arc still fully engaged. still no light in his eyes either of course. just a lil chaotic ball of sleep deprivation and rage

lol, fucking THANK YOU though

oh my god what the hell did she do to him lol

did she shoot him with her elbow??? fucking look at this?? THIS IS WHY WE LISTEN TO HAWKS oh my god Deku are you dead

WHAT’S HAPPENING, IS THIS GOOD OR BAD, WHO’S WINNING

things that I wish I could tell from this panel which I unfortunately cannot tell

did she stab him or shoot him?? can you imagine if it was the former lol. why does Horikoshi keep stabbing all my kids. look Kacchan now the two of you can match

did she actually hit him or did he get away??

or did she hit him and then he jumped away?? just, what

well anyway, so now Deku is asking her why she sided with AFO, but he seems a lot more pissed off than when he was interrogating Muscular, though. probably because she shot him three times. fair enough

oh my god

does Lady have a blog here on tumblr dot com?? -- does Horikoshi have a blog here on tumblr motherfucking dot com?? why do I suddenly feel like this man is out here sneakily reading up on all our discourse

oh my god Deku it’s almost like getting up close and personal with someone who can shoot custom bullets from any distance and any position with deadly accuracy was a terrible fucking idea

IF ONLY SOMEONE HAD WARNED YOU NOT TO ENGAGE WITH HER AT ALL COSTS. IF ONLY SOMEONE HAD HAD THE FORESIGHT TO DO THAT sob. can you imagine how much shorter this series would be if characters actually listened to Hawks. Hawks, and Momo. why do we even let anyone else run the show ever

OH MY GOD

DEKU, RUN

OH MY GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING

this looks a lot like what happens to me whenever I play One’s Justice. those fucking combo attacks that you can’t fucking escape from and so your character just has to stand there getting their ass whalloped repeatedly while you wonder why you paid $40 for this

but anyways though. so Lady who did you kill?? I bet they deserved it, don’t worry I forgive you

(ETA: ANYWAY SO FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT LADY NAGANT DID NOTHING WRONG EVER IN HER ENTIRE LIFE. aside from murdering all those innocent people and shit. but there were CIRCUMSTANCES, and THEY WERE EXTENUATING, OKAY.)

-- holy shit

looks like the HPSC arc is back on the menu boys

so are we about to learn that the HPSC was going full Hydra on people’s asses? secretly dispatching anyone they deemed a threat to society?? “taken care of” as in you fucking shot them??

so then was the “hero” she killed actually one of the guys who was giving or carrying out these orders?? holy shit Lady, up until now I’ve mainly just been stanning you for your flawless eyebrow game and metal af quirk, but this shit could actually get real very quickly, and I am prepared to genuinely and sincerely love the shit out of you depending on what we learn next about your backstory

oh my god?!?

so wait, hold up. am I reading this right?? basically the HPSC started murdering vigilantes because they were worried they were gaining too much of the public’s favor?? holy fucking shit???

oh my GOD oh my god

“it’s been a while since I scarred you all with the dead dog and the graphic slaughter of an entire innocent family, huh,” Horikoshi says thoughtfully. “anyway so what do you all think of my new creation, the Spaghetti Bullet.” well, Horikoshi, so you know that squished-up face that Kermit the Frog makes sometimes? yeah. that’s what I think, if you must know lol

holy hell the juxtaposition

I’m actually kind of surprised to learn she had a lot of fans? what with her M.O., I was expecting her to have been an underground hero like Aizawa, but apparently not? then again I still have absolutely no idea how any of that works. I really need to read Vigilantes already

oh snap

nothing like a sweet dose of assassin trauma to finally round out our BnHA Trauma Bingo!! well done guys, we finally collected all of the traumas! hooray!

noooo Ladyyyyyyy

holy shit what a fucking chapter. like, this man promised us an assassin, and went and fucking delivered. I was not expecting it to be this dark, lol, but holy shit I am here for it

you know, at some point you have to start questioning the logistics of this, though

I mean, how do I put this... her quirk isn’t exactly subtle. that murder scene from a few pages back looked like the first season of Dexter for fuck’s sake, that’s not exactly “disappearing” people now is it?? and I mean, her bullets are literally made from her own fucking hair; it seems like it would be impossible not to leave any evidence behind. did no one start to wonder who the fuck was going around murdering all these people? or did the people who asked too many questions wind up getting conveniently “disappeared” themselves??

and hey, speaking of asking too many questions

holy shit is he blackmailing her??!? or no, wait -- what the hell is he reaching for in his pocket boy you better not

(ETA: what exactly was this man expecting fdslkjd. “uh oh my unstoppable hair trigger assassin who is literally always armed is asking questions, better announce that I am going to shoot her and then reach into my pocket veeeeeery slowly while she stands there all of two feet away.” how did this guy ever function as the head of a shadow government with these decision-making skills, I’m genuinely baffled.)

OH MY GOD LADY YES

this. right here. is why “run the fuck away” was damn good solid fucking advice. oh shit. but my god did this dude have it coming

so wait lol has she just been narrating all of this out loud to Deku this entire time

okay but can we just stop for a moment and appreciate the fact that they’re having this deep conversation about the dark secrets of hero society right in the middle of their intense mid-air sniper free-for-all lol

holy shit you guys, Nagant’s the one that should have made the tell-all video. I mean, no offense to you, Dabi, I’m sure you worked very hard on your video and did a ton of crunches every day so that you would look good with your shirt off while you told the world all about how your dad was a jerk. but seriously...

this is already like 100x more convincing than what he put out. also, gasp, is it another flashback

yes it is oh my gosh

so the HPSC Chairladyperson whom ReDestro killed used to be this guy’s direct subordinate, huh? I wonder if she kept the whole assassin program going after she took over. can’t say I was feeling any particular kind of grieving way about her death before, but certainly not now lol

but unfortunately Nagant has finally lost me at the same place where all of the villains inevitably do, which is to say when they somehow make the dubious mental leap from “society sucks and is bad” to “let’s just be openly fucking evil lol, worth a shot.” because when heroes murder innocent people and cover it up, that’s obviously bad (and I mean, it absolutely fucking is lol, don’t get me wrong); but when villains murder innocent people straight up out in the open without giving a fuck, they’re righteous revolutionaries? just -- is there really no non-murdery middle ground here?? I guess that’s what Deku and co. are for, hopefully

anyways oh shit Deku seems to have spotted something?? and he’s doing something weird with Blackwhip what

oh, he spotted her, I guess

lmaooooo

new favorite Deku panel right here. a masterpiece

oh my god you guys our little boy is starting to grow up before our eyes

you love to see it. and you can tell with those elipses that he’s gearing up to say something really cool and determined and badass like the shounen protag he is, yes please, Deku ilu so much please do your thing

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

IS THAT A TEENY TINY LIL EYE SPARKLE THERE OMG. still not anywhere close to his usual standard, but that’s some clear resolve there in his eyes there at long last! it always shines the most clearly when he’s being true to himself and his ideals, so I love that it finally shows up again here, when he’s reaffirming his resolve to help others no matter what

uh oh so what’s Lady going to do now

is it time for a trump card?? kinda sounding like it’s time for a trump card

???

I lied btw, this is my new favorite Deku panel. but anyways what is she up to now lol

ohhhhhh, lol

why does she seem shocked, lol. here I thought this was part of her plan, but apparently she forgot all about ol’ “Look Ma, No Hands” back up there

and so I guess that’s it for this week! so we’ve learned basically everything now about Lady and her quirk and her history with the HPSC and why she agreed to work for AFO. pretty much the only question that still remains is why the hell she decided to drag this asshole along for the ride! because I still cannot figure that out dsklkjlkf

(ETA: actually now I’m kind of wondering if they maybe have some past connection we don’t know about yet. when exactly was Nagant sent to Tartarus? is it possible she was ordered to track down and kill Overhaul at some point before that, but never got around to it? or something else along those lines? idk but now I’m curious.)

anyways Deku, I know that your empathy has no bounds and that you’re on a “saving villains” kick right now, and good on you... but also, if you decide to just like, skip all of that shit just this once, absolutely no one will hold it against you, I’m just saying. just, all I’m asking here is maybe let’s think twice before we start trying to reform guys who imprison and torture little girls for profit. I think maybe that’s a good place to draw the line. next week is going to be a very interesting chapter lol

ID. A digital collage of characters from left to right, top to bottom: Finnick Odair from The Hunger Games, Nicolò di Genova from The Old Guard, Olivia Benson from Law & Order: SVU, Phoebe Halliwell from Charmed, Eddie Munson from Stranger Things, Alice Cullen from The Twilight Saga, Aziraphale from Good Omens, Stede Bonnet from Our Flag Means Death, Ciri from The Witcher, and Will Byers from Stranger Things. The lettering imposed in the middle reads: "10 characters. 10 fandoms. 10 tags." END ID

Special thanks to @nade2308 for tagging me for this fantastic game! 🤩 I saw a mutual do this one not to long ago and was sort of itching to do it as well - was even planning on typing something up over the weekend lol - so did I go a little extra by also including my why for each, and some quotes? Yup.

tw for mild/vague references of abuse related to their respective roles/backstories/character arcs

ETA I forgot to tag 10 people OOF lol

@mostlyimmortal @lucasmileynelli @heda-of-endlesswonder @almostcanon @alllthequeenshorses @scarlet-welly-boots @spacewitchqueen @brightestmuhii @bewires @good-nightsocialite

Finnick Odair - The Hunger Games

Finnick gives me fellow ESFP/Scorpio vibes, and though he puts up a fairly convincing front of someone who does not care (I mean, fair when you got him saying things like, “Every time that cannon goes off it’s like music to my ears”), he actually he cares very, very much (but I don’t want to spoil his character arc for anyone not familiar). In my opinion, he uses his persona, and humor to project outwards (same Finnick, same), and sharing a few things with his character, made it fairly easy for me to latch onto him once I dived into the series :]

“I haven’t dealt in anything as common as money in years.” - “Well, then, how do people pay for the pleasure of your company?” - “With secrets. What about you Girl on Fire? Any secrets worth my time?”

Nicolò di Genova - The Old Guard

Fairly certain it’s obvious with my whole tumblr motif and name lol - and though of course all takes are valid - but I’ve definitely enjoyed exploring a HC of Nicky remaining Catholic and writing a lot about it. I’ve definitely projected - but actually Nicky is more like who I’d like to be, with that quiet, stoic persona - which I’m definitely not lol. But I do identify with his kindness, “heart of the family” vibes, and doing what he can to keep their family together :]

“I believe we’re meant to find each other. It’s like destiny.”

Olivia Benson - Law & Order: SVU

I’ve been watching the show since I was in my young 20s (after binging the first several seasons), and it’s been part of my comfort and healing for a long time now. It’s definitely got hard subjects, but it inspires and encourages me to know there are people out there who will fight for justice, who care, and Olivia is such a force all on her own, but she truly shines with her found family. Extra bonus points for having adopted her child - as someone who’s family has been blessed by adoption three times over, I love seeing that representation on screen.

“You know what I’ve seen is that people who have gone through unfair, horrific experiences, is that they have this will. And when they get support - a chance, they can not only survive, but they can thrive.”

Phoebe Halliwell - Charmed

I spent my teen years watching Charmed, and it was so phenomenal to get to see a trio of kick butt ladies who grew, evolved, and wore amazing outfits all while nurturing family. Phoebe was the youngest, then the middle sibling, and I think she definitely had such a fantastic character arc. I resonated with several plot lines for her, but especially when it came to Cole, as well as her hope for a family of her own. She was so wonderfully warm, and expressive, and I really vibed with that as well.

“I know this may not sound very PC, but I want romance. Long, slow kisses, late night talks, candle lights. I love love.”

Eddie Munson - Stranger Things

My most recent character obsession but it’s holding strong!! I ship him as a fellow ADHDer personally, and even my husband felt like his character and I are very similarly expressive lol. I also vibe with his ability to feel like an outcast, but somehow finding a way to gather people together, and in many ways just doing his thing - even if others might laugh at him - who cares, he’ll just stick out his tongue and throw faux devil horns at you. It’s not like he’s dumb and doesn’t realize exactly what some people think of him, he simply has no problem ignoring it and having fun anyways. It’s only an issue when people falsely accuse him of murder, which like, well duh lol. But even then, just like Dustin says, “He was never mean.” I believe the truth comes out eventually, and will so in Eddie’s case, too (and if season five doesn’t cover it, I’ll effin write it because that’s the peak of fanfiction lol). But anyways, yeah, I relate to him on multiple levels :D

“It’s forced conforming. That’s what’s killing the kids. That’s the real monster.”

Alice Cullen - The Twilight Saga

Okay so once again, there’s something about the quirky, though fully aware, but simply having too much of a good time to get pulled into it - persona that drags me in and helps me feel seen lol. Alice is the epitome of found family because not only does she find Jasper (Team Jasper btw), but also helps them to find their family and is like the biggest cheerleader for #Belward before even Edward is haha. Add in sprinkles of vampire awesomeness, and a psychic ability to boot, and a penchant for hosting the best parties (not to brag, but I’m the one who insists on a theme and does the work to bring it to life in our family gatherings lol), and she's too awesome imo not to love :)

“Weddings: they bring everyone together.”

Aziraphale - Good Omens

This was hands down THE fictional character where I was like, “Okay this is 99% me on screen” lol. I think anyone who knows me for more than like five interactions tends to give me this one as the character they envision me being the most like (well, that or Penelope Garcia lol). I’m actually going to leave this one to your imagination as to exactly why, but can probably say most guesses would be accurate haha. I love Aziraphale, and adore his vibe, and I’m very excited to see more of him (and of course Crowley, and everyone else) in season two!

“It all worked out for the best, though. Just imagine how awful it might have been if we’d been at all competent.”

Stede Bonnet - Our Flag Means Death

It’s now a long running joke, but worth repeating here - I never meant for me to relate the most to two middle aged white men with cool accents who are literal bottles of sunshines, but here we are. Stede sold me on him the moment he muttered, “We talk it through - as a crew” and though boy, he definitely had some growing to do, I do think his heart is in the right place in wanting to band a crew together. And hello, he has storytime for them all. Like, he cares, a lot. And I can't wait to see him win back Ed in season two ;)

“Polite menace. That’ll be my brand.”

Princess Cirilla - The Witcher

Ciri speaks to my inner child/princess. Considered not to be all that much past what her birth status suggests, she actually is able to do a lot more than given credit for, and though unassuming - she kicks butt as she gets dragged/hunted all over mutliple kingsdoms. Which I relate to lol. Add in sprinkles of found family, and stepping into your own, and harnessing your inner strength to balance the scales around you and yes, yes, yes - I’m stoked to see what happens in season three for her!

“I want to be indifferent to the past. To the lies. To the things I’ve done.”

Will Byers - Stranger Things

Oh Will, sweet, powerful, (and imo) underutilized in Season Four Will - he’s actually tied with Eddie in my my fave ST character, because of feeling different, and the trauma - but especially in Season Three, when he’s watching others date and just knows it’s not the same for him. As someone who didn’t know the label asexual until my 20s, I just wanted to reach through the screen watching him trying to navigate those moments of seeing relationships from what feels like the sidelines, both wanting to feel the same thing (so you don't feel different), but very much not in the way you’re witnessing (and not able to express the why for a myriad of valid reasons). It’s hard to navigate that sexuality spectrum even under the best of circumstances but yeah, I definitely felt for Will, and hope many good things for him in Season Five!

“She’s so different from other people and when you’re different sometimes you feel like a mistake. But you make her feel like she’s not a mistake at all.”

GL/BL tag game.

Thanks @lutawolf :) :)

Your all time favorite bl character and why.

But there are so many… I going with Sean from Not Me. I didn’t pay attention to him at the start of the series because I was focused on White and Yok, but Sean grew as a character throughout the show. He makes bad decisions, he’s harsh and violent, but he also has endless bravery, a driving passion for justice, and this wonderful softness and love. He’s been knocked down in life by so many things (including White) and he keeps getting up and moving forward. I’m louder about my affection for other characters, but of the fictional bl/gl characters I’ve gotten my grubby little hands on, Sean is ultimately the prize.

Here *hands you a heartbroken Sean*

What’s your one character from a bl you wanted to punt into the stratosphere (you only get one so choose wisely).

Wai from Bad Buddy. I don’t hate him and there are worse characters who deserve it more. And yet….I think he would be better off in the stratosphere than hanging out near my precious Pran :)

The best music moment from a bl.

Pat playing that song by Sizzy and Nanon. Nanon looks like he’s barely hanging onto his acting in that scene.

What’s a popular heterosexual text that you would like to see adapted into a bl/gl?

Howl’s Moving Castle. Not only do I not like the Studio Gibli version, I also think it would make an EXCELLENT GL!! Howl as a woman with a reputation for eating men’s hearts. She’s probably high femme and also still an ex-rugby player.

A scene from a bl that always makes you laugh.

Tan and Bun in Manner of Death being drama queens, honestly. I laughed so much at moments that were supposed to be serious. Why were people always pulling guns out for NO REASON in that show?!

Biggest disappointment.

Uh, unpopular opinion probably, but maybe History 3: Trapped. I’m a sucker for the right kind of mafia story (hello, my kinnporsche obsession), so I got really excited about History3 and I didn’t like it for a number of reasons. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad show, it was just a big let down for me personally.

What two random bl/gl characters would make hilarious exes?

Yok from Not Me and Jae-young from Semantic Error, for the wild card artist vibes. What would they get up to together?

Who would be the funniest person to watch a bl in its entirety with and which one would you make them watch.

Funniest person on this site? Idk, I want to watch with EVERYONE! Irl they’d have put up with my stream-of-conscious chatter as I watch, though.

Best wardrobe moment/or character wardrobe from a bl.

There are so many. But I don’t think I’m every getting over Khai’s wardrobe from Theory of Love. Those clothes wouldn’t have been a big deal on any other character, but I felt like they changed my idea of who Khai was in unexpected and delightful ways. If that makes sense.

@antique-forvalaka @minisculecosmos @luckydragon10 @natchla if any of you want to and haven’t already done it!

DUKE THOMAS ISN’T THE SANE ONE! A guide by Pepper

So, I have seen so many people writing Duke incorrectly, and I wanted to do something about it. In fanon, he is described as the sane bat, who would rather stay home and safe, and absolutely never join in shenanigans. Now, I know there are a lot of things wrong with canon, but Duke is one of the better parts! He is an interesting character who is actually just as chaotic as the rest of the gotham vigilantes. And so it it is quite unfair to his character to say he is the 'Arnold from the Magic Schoolbus' of the group. He's really not.

So I decided to make a list of ten instances in the comics where he disobeys Bruce, acts reckless, or is just a bat! (also for a Batfam Group Chat I’m a part of, someone asked for these) I hope this helps people understand his character better, and maybe even inspire them to write more about him? Seriously, Tag me if you do. I'm starved for good Duke content!

Feel free to add more in the comments, these are just what I could think of off the top of my head! (Hence the kinda weird order, sry)

1. He's a vigilante

Okay, so this is a bit obvious, but I still think it needs saying. You think that a guy who dresses in bright yellow and patrols the most crime-ridden city in the world during the day is 100% sane?

2. We Are Robin

Also obvious, but still. This guy joins a group of untrained teenage robins who just want to make a difference. And they do! It's still pretty reckless, though.

3. He tried to take on the Riddler

In case you didn't know, in the beginning of New 52 (Zero year, specifically) the Riddler essentially held Gotham Hostage. He had some spiel about someone giving him a riddle he couldn't solve, and letting the city go. You know who decided he would be that person? Duke Thomas! He trained in brain-teasers, and puzzles, tirelessly worked. He became quite the adept riddler (not the villain). The kick? He was a child! (Look at the above panels, isn't he cute?) Duke was young, yet determined. And if that's not a bat quality, I don't know what is.

4. He escaped the cops by jumping off a bridge.

Oh no! Duke is in a police car! Oh no! He's on a bridge! What's he going to do?! Why, jump out and off the bridge while proclaiming "I am Robin" of course! Seriously, look at that panel and try to argue that he is the responsible goody-two-shoes of the family.

5. He talked down an enraged Damian

Basically, Damian was manipulated into joining the court of owls. Duke, who refused to believe that Robin genuinely joined them, fought him and talked him down. Now, this is Damian we're talking about. Sure, the kid is absolutely adorable and can be incredibly caring (Fight me on this, I dare you. Also, frick you DC), but when he's on a rampage, there is little that can stop him. So of course Duke decides to take care of it!

6. He actively tries to have a relationship with Damian.

Okay, so this one is a little weak, but I wanted an excuse to share those panels. Aren't those two great?! But seriously, Duke ignores that this tiny child could kill him in more ways than he could count, and even invites him to a movie! He also isn't afraid to tease the kid, unlike other members of the family. Knowing Damian can honestly be hard sometimes.

7. Comes back to the city when Bruce told him to get out.

During the I Am Bane arc of Tom King's Batman (I'm shuddering. So sorry for invoking his name!) Bruce tells the batboys to get out of Gotham and STAY out. the others are like 'we're not gonna listen, right?' and Duke is all 'you can't ignore BATMAN!' and walks off saying he's gonna listen to Bruce. This seems like pretty damning evidence, right? He's actually sane? The others got attacked by Bane and hung, but Duke didn't. Well, then you look at the next panel! (it takes place later in the volume) There he is, disobeying Bruce, and hanging out in Gotham. Not just that, he's out in costume! No, Duke couldn't just hunker down in an apartment, he had to go out and take down crooks, and warn Jim Gordon. I think that's pretty self-explanatory

8. Goes out while Injured

Those two panels are back-to-back in The Cursed Wheel (originally printed in All-Star Batman, later put into Batman and the Signal). As you can see, Bruce tells Duke to get rest. Duke was just attacked by Zsasz, and suffered multiple injuries. He wakes up, and the thing that would make the most sense would be for him to go to sleep, right? Well, he instead gets suited up and goes out to work on a case. Pretty much every bat has done this at some point. Not quite the smartest move, right? A touch reckless, wouldn’t you say?

9. That whole thing with Green Lantern

(sry for the weird sizing, I don’t have the comic to take screenshots)

So there are two parts to this. First of, you have Green Lantern flying into the batcave, looking around, and there’s no Batman present. So what does Duke Do? Well, he certainly doesn’t stay back and contact Bruce! Nope, instead he attacks a member of the Justice League, a member of the Green Lantern Corp. Later on, you know what he says? He thought he would be fine because his suit is bright yellow. That’s it. A bit crazy, right?

Secondly, he gets roped into exploring the cave with Hal (I thinks it’s Hal, been a bit since I read this though). The Lantern has some thing going on about stuff in the cave, but that’s not important. What’s important is that Duke went along with it. He was curious enough to ignore what Bruce would say (Call him, yet anything remotely green out of the cave), and joins in! He does’t say “this is a bad idea” or “we shouldn’t be doing this” nope!

9. When he ran off with Cass to test his powers

Oh no, Duke got shadow powers! What’s he gonna go? Why, go off and have fun experiment of course! Duke and Cass head out to test and work on Duke’s newly presented abilities, and specifically don’t tell Bruce! This is information he would like to know, of course. It’s important to know if your newest protege gets more powers. But no, they go out of their way to sneakily test the extent of his powers. They get caught, of course, and then get chewed out (They get caught in costume, but the next panel they’re in civvies. I find that outrageously funny!). And here’s the kicker: they don’t really apologize! Sure, Duke gives a half-heart apology, but he doesn’t really mean it. Not even under the full extent of the Batglare™.

10. Rescuing Bruce with practically no training

I’ll skip all the plotty stuff, so just know that Bruce was out alone and in some deep doo-doo. Duke was back at the cave, working stuff out with Alfred. He realizes that what Bruce is doing is a trap. Now, just so you know, this is back when Duke was JUST taken in by Bruce. He doesn’t even have a codename yet! Barely any training. So you know what he does? He heads out anyway, and rescues Bruce. Now, check out that music he’s playing. Later on, it’s revealed to be Duke’s fave band. You know the name of that band? “Batman’s @^$&@” I’m not even joking. (I’m not sure what bleeped out, though later on it’s referred to as “Batman’s #$%” So I assume it’s ass?). So on top of being reckless, he plays a heavy metal band with a name that’s … special to say the least. He has guts, you gotta admit (Oh, and he seemed so gleeful when he told Bruce the name of the band!).

And there you have it! This list is far from complete, but I think it’s a good start. Feel free to reblog with your own, or any questions/comments! I absolutely love to talk about Duke, so don’’t be afraid to message me! Also, correct me if I wrote anything incorrect here. It’s been a while since I’ve read some of these, so I may have gotten some stuff wrong.

Self Love Retrospective

Rules: it’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought to the world in 2021. Tag as many creators as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

I was tagged by the absurdly talented @irolltwenties!

2021 was a very weird writing year for me. It felt like I posted a LOT (well, a lot for me anyway) but also like I didn’t get anything done?? Idk man, time is a flat circle. I’m both happy with all the fics I posted this year, and also weirdly detached from them bc the writing process often felt like I blacked out and suddenly there were words on the page I barely remembered putting there, lol.

ANYHOW, in 2021 I wrote a total of 45,254 words across 8 completed works and 1 WIP (which will prob ultimately count toward my 2022 works since it’ll be completed in January). Here’s my top 5:

5. More Alike Than Not - JayRoy | Rated T | 1.7k | Young Justice/Earth 16

A Double Red Week fic! Like every event I’ve participated in, my plans were more ambitious than I was able to accomplish, but I had such a good time playing around with YJ!JayRoy all that week. I have so many plans for longer/more in depth fics involving them, but this one shot is a nice summation of why I think Arsenal x Jason works so well conceptually in this universe, and what would draw them to one another. Though not a particularly in-depth character study, it does examine the odd dynamic & parallels between Roy & Will and how Roy feels about it.

4. Left on Read - JayRoy | Rated T | 2.3k | Young Justice/Earth 16

Basically, Roy is bad at texting back and Jason is like a grumpy cat in human form about it, lol. Tbh I keep flipping back and forth between whether I like this fic or Proximity more. Both were also for Double Red Week, but Left on Read is a bit fluffier and more humorous, whereas Proximity is more of a pining/yearning, hurt/comfort sorta deal. I think I just enjoy reading back Left on Read a bit more because 1) Jay gets to be sassier and more ridiculous, which I adore, and 2) While I’m happy with Proximity, I think I could have elevated it to another level had I taken more time with it and put it through a few more rounds of edits. But, you know what they say. Perfection is the enemy of good and all that.

3. Entwined - ThanZag | Rated E | 7.2k | Hades (video game)

Y’all, when I tell you Hades had me by the THROAT this past year?!?! Whew. I may never recover. Play this game, romance Death, and then go read this fic if you want an expansion on that whole fade-to-black situation between Than and Zag. I still can’t believe they’re not only canon but also poly with Meg. I love them so much it makes me look STUPID. Anyway, while 90% of the smut I write is just two Extremely In Love idiots being sappy af, this is like, EVEN MORE than usual. So, you’re welcome I guess, lol.

2. Marked For Death - ThanZag | Rated T | 12.7k | Hades (video game)

Oh, this was SO much fun. I love this fic, I’m actually so proud of it. Basically, there is a game mechanic I discovered that sent my mind spinning bc of the in-universe implications, and then this happened. The game’s narration is done in a fun, purple-prose-adjacent style, so I went ham trying to match it, which was such a blast. Also, I’d say action is one of my big weak spots as a writer, so this was a perfect excuse to work on that. It was super rewarding to complete, and felt like such a success when I got a number of people giving unprompted positive feedback in the comments specifically about the action aspect of the fic.

1. Love Me Tender - Bluepulse | Rated E | 8k | Young Justice/Earth 16

Okay, so this was never supposed to be it’s own fic. But, I needed to post it in order to stop myself from endlessly editing it for the rest of my existence (which did in fact work!), so that I could move on to the unfinished parts of (still in progress) Remember Me, Chapter 5. Like I said, 90% of the smut I write is just two Extremely In Love idiots being sappy af. That applies here for sure. All Bart’s POV. As silly and flirty and ridiculous as it is smutty. Possibly the best E rated fic I’ve written to date (at least I should hope so, considering early, and now unrecognizable, drafts of this scene date back 2-3 years). Def the one I was most afraid to share, and prob the one I’ve ultimately become the most proud of.

I feel like 2021 was a rough year for a lot of my mutuals in terms of creating/posting content (I feel you), but if any of y’all would like to share, please do!! And I’ll tag @ofmorninglory and @incorrectbatfam (though no pressure of course <3)

#my stuff #writing #fanfic #2021 #tag you're it #dc #hades #jayroy #thanzag #bluepulse #for real though even if you didn't post ANYTHING this year #know that I'm proud of you anyway!!!#and I hope 2022 is better to us!

FAVORITE SHOWS IN POSTERS

Well, we’re back for another installment of this tagged meme, this time for TV shows! I also stole this from/was indirectly tagged by @jcmorrigan. My taste in shows also differs a bit from my taste in movies, as I tend to like a lot of comedy shows with not as many horror ones. I’m not into shows as much as movies overall, but there are some that I am very passionate about so I picked twenty again. So, here we go for part 2, in order:

1. Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend Of Korra (2005-2014)

I'm including these as one show since they take place in the same universe and tell a continuation of the same overall plot. Altogether this is probably the best piece of media to ever exist, including movies. It has so many great characters and villains especially and some of the most epic sequences, charming humor and heartwarming moments ever. I've never met a person who didn't like these shows, even people who normally don't like cartoons. My dad, who is biased against animation? He loved it. My mother? She loved it, watched it with her multiple times. My grandmother? Loved it. My ex-boyfriend? Loved it. My best friend? Loved it. I dare anyone not to, and I'm so glad it's making a resurgence since it's on Netflix for a new generation to enjoy.

2. Black Butler (2008-2014)

I never was big into anime growing up and only really started watching anime when I was like 16 and above, but this is one of the exceptions because holy shit is it ever dark and epic. I'm not sure I'd really recommend it for kids, it's more of a teens and young adults kind of anime and that's probably why it's so good, because it isn't afraid to explore dark and mature topics and do it with all of the intensity and gravitas required to do said topics justice. It has lots of great characters, and the story of demons who make deals with children who have a dark side is fun to watch play out.

3. Seinfeld (1989-1998)

My dad was a huge fan of this show so I watched it growing up since I was a toddler and it became a classic for me. I've watched thw hole show through at least 8 times, and I'll never stop because it never gets old or boring. It's also my only comfort show when I'm having a panic attack because of one time a few years ago when I was having a drug-induced psychosis episode and watching it calmed me down, so now it's like the opposite of a trigger and whenever I'm having an episode or something I watch it to bring me back to reality. For that reason it's more than a show to me, it's a medical treatment and I'm forever grateful to it.

4. The Good Place (2016-2020)

The big four shows made my Michael Schur all made it on this post (The Good Place, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Office and Parks And Recreation), either in the main list of the honorable mentions, but this is my personal favorite of the four. It's so funny, quirky, relatable and basically tailor-made to suit my interests. Not only is it an entertaining and wholesome show, but I think watching it helped me come to terms with a lot of things like mortality, ethics, philosophy, religion and my relationships with other people. It gets alot of different viewpoints across and if you're a very analytical and philosophical person like me you'll probably enjoy seeing it all play out. Not to mention, every single character is 'favorite character' material. It's rare you find a show with no filler characters in the main cast, but I genuinely can't choose who is best.

5. Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013-?)

Another of Michael Schur's shows, this one is just barely under The Good Place and to be honest it was tough to pick my favorite between the two because they're both equally funny. I know it's kind of controversial right now because of the whole law enforcement thing, but I actually think they do a good job of handling social issues in the show and remaining respectful of real-life systemic problems. As for the characters, this is another one of those shows where every single character is gold and I think that tends to be a trend among Schur's shows in general. He produces damn good comedy, and damn good characters. I can't wait to see what they bring next.

6. Rick And Morty (2013-?)

This is unfortunately one of those cases of 'great show, horrible fandom' and for that reason I don't get involved in the fandom even though I love the show. It's a shame because it really is a great show, so funny and, again, such good characters. I think it's a lot more accessible than the fandom likes to claim, so I'm hoping more people will give it a chance and not get put off by the intellectual elitism of the fandom because it does have some of the most entertaining and batshit crazy episodes ever, poking fun of some of the staples of science fiction in media while also poking fun of itself the whole time. Unlike the fandom, the show doesn't take itself seriously and that's enjoyable nowadays.

7. Orange Is The New Black (2013-2019)

While this show is a comedy, it is also a lot of other things and it's probably made me ugly-cry just as many times as it's made me laugh. Well, maybe not as often, but those few scenes (if you've watched the show then you know the ones I'm talking about) made me hysterically sob hard enough to be worth like fifty minor sads. But I didn't even mind because the show is just that good, and it makes you /feel/ something in a real way. Probably because of just how real it gets in terms of telling stories that happen all the time in the real world, sometimes with inevitably tragic endings. But these things do happen every day, and it's important to shine a light on that. It's not just representation for LGBTQ+ but also for POC, the neurodiverse, the poor, and many more. Give it a watch to broaden your perspective!

8. Big Mouth (2017-?)

This is probably the grossest show I've ever seen but by god is it ever funny. Maybe it's because I have an immature sense of humor or something, but I love this show. It definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea and I don't recommend you watch this show with anyone else around because it will get awkward. I think part of its appeal to me is that everyone I talk to who likes it considers it so relatable to their lives growing up but for someone like me who grew up on the autism and asexual spectrum and who was physically an early-bloomer by years, nothing about this show is relatable to me in any way so it makes it all the more crazy and bizarre watching how the people around me must have experienced things. Did y'all really have these experiences with puberty in middle school???

9. Dexter (2006-2013)

I recently heard that this show is coming back for a reboot soon and I'm so excited because this is my absolute favorite drama/thriller show, as evidenced by the fact that it's the highest one on the list so far that isn't a comedy. I love the idea of having a protagonist who is sort of a villain (or at least morally dubious), and the idea of a serial killer who only kills bad people is particularly satisfying for some reason. Maybe because he's the vigilante we all deserve and want in this unjust and evil world of modern times? Idk but the very premise of this show set it up for big things and aside from the ending I think it delivered consistently.

10. Once Upon A Time (2011-2018)

This show took us on some journeys, and you can't deny that. Sure, maybe it didn't always finish what it started and didn't always end in the most satisfying way, but part of its charm is that you didn't care because the experience was just so much fun. They took characters and stories that have been told to death and somehow managed to put a unique and unexpected twist on them, and that alone is admirable. Good twists, good villains, and pretty much every cliffhanger known to man will keep you hooked on binge-watching every episode.

11. RuPaul's Drag Race (2009-?)

A bit different than the other entries on my list in that it's not fiction but a reality competition show, but I couldn't leave Drag Race out because it's just so fucking iconic and perfect. Even when you disagree with the judges or can't stand a certain contestant you'll still be having a good time. It's got the personalities you love to love, the ones you love to hate, and the comedy that's completely meme-able. I mean just how much has this show contributed to pop culture and the internet? More than most of us, henny. I've watched every single season, even the international ones and all of the spinoffs. This show will probably be on for another thirty years when Ru is throwing shade from a hospital bed and I'll still be watching.

12. House (2004-2012)

Some people hate on this show, and I don't get it. I love House. Yes, he's an ass. That's the point. He's supposed to be unlikeable, and that's why I like him. Maybe because I always love the rude, sarcastic, misanthropic jerkass-genius characters for some reason. And I also love procedural shows, so it's a win-win. I also work in the healthcare field so it appeals to me for that reason too, because obviously the whole premise is outlandish which is what makes it funny. Of course it's not realistic for a hospital, so just enjoy the absurdity and don't get too hung up on the details of medical accuracy and professional ethics and you'll be fine.

13. The Office (2005-2013)

The third of Michael Schur's show and the last one that made the main list (sorry Parks And Rec, I love you too but there was just so many good shows to choose from and I saw you last so the nostalgia isn't as strong!) I don't think I need to hype this show up any, it's already a classic and you can't even turn around online without getting hit in the face by a dozen Office memes. You'll have to pry this show and it's relatable characters (especially Michael Scott) from my cold, dead hands.

14. All Hail King Julien/The Penguins Of Madagascar (2008-2017)

Like Avatar/Korra, I also consider this as one show for the sake of this list because it also takes place in the same universe (Madagascar, specifically) and I just couldn't choose one over the other because they're both so perfect. They're funny and I love all the characters (it cut out the weaker links of the Madagascar film series and just focuses on expanding the standout side-characters like King Julien and the penguins). It also delved into some lore, particularly the first show, and even though I didn't also agree with the directions it took (you may have seen me get salty about the ending because I cared too much), I can't deny how much I love it.

15. Bones (2005-2017)

One of the other scarce non-comedy shows on this list, it still has it's funny moments. It's also, like House, another procedural show that involves some medical stuff, but this time on a more scientific and forensic level which is even more interesting. It's nice to see a lead female with Asperger's, too. There's a lot of cop/law enforcement shows where they try to solve crimes, but this one is the best, and I'm saying that as a fan of CSI as well. Don't fight me on this, I'm right. Oh yes, it's corny, it's campy, it's cheesy, but I love every minute of it. Don't watch if you have a weak stomach though.

16. The Simpsons (1989-?)

We all grew up with this show, don't lie. It's been around longer than most people on tumblr have even been alive. Should it have ended seasons ago? Hell yes. But that doesn't take away what the first like 20 or so seasons gave us (there's a lot of argument about when the show jumped the shark, for me it wasn't until much later than the popular consensus). The characters are amazing, but the secret to the show's longevity is that they always return to status quo and there's comfort and nostalgia in that. Bart will still be in 4th grade when you're out there pushing 90. This show is persistent. This show is eternal. This show will outlive us all.

17. Ash Vs. Evil Dead (2015-2018)

Sorely underrated. This show is hilarious, gruesome and campy as hell and I love it. I don't think you necessarily have to watch the Evil Dead movies beforehand in order to get the plot of the show, although it would probably help. In my opinion this show ended way too soon and I'm hoping someday we'll get a comeback because Ash is the reluctant, self-absorbed hero we all need and it's 2020 so at this point there really might actually be a demon-zombie apocalypse and who's gonna save us then if not for the impulsive womanizer with a chainsaw for a hand?

18. Malcolm In The Middle (2000-2006)

Another show I grew up with, I don't think it gets as much credit as it deserves. It has some damn funny episodes and great characters, and it did a lot of the popular sitcom tropes before they were 'cool'. Some other great sitcoms, The Middle in particular, took a lot of influence from this show and it helped pave the way for the future of sitcoms at a time when they were about to make a comeback. If you want a good show about the real experiences of growing up, this is a much more accurate representation of the highs and lows of being an awkward tween from a dysfunctional home.

19. A Series Of Unfortunate Events (2017-2019)

Unlike most people I actually liked the movie version from the early 2000's, and I read the books growing up so I was excited when I saw there was a live action television adaptation of it on Netflix because I felt like they cancelled the movie franchise too soon. I was interested to see how new actors would handle the roles, and I was not disappointed. I wouldn't say I liked either portrayal of the characters better or worse, they both added their own twist to it and this show is a great and loyal adaptation to the books, probably because the author was so heavily involved. He knew just when to stick to the books and when to improve upon what he had done with the benefit of hindsight. This show is basically the books, but remastered.

20. Winx Club (2004-?)

Sort of an odd one out on this list, but I really love this show even as an adult and it may surprise you to learn it is still going on and the most recent season came out last year. They take big breaks sometimes in between seasons, but it's still going strong and in multiple countries. The only thing I don't like about watching this show is all the different and inconsistent dubs since the original show is Italian and each dub only goes for a couple seasons so by the time you get used to one set of voices/names for the characters oyu have to abruptly switch to another, but it's still worth it for the beautiful animation and cool characters (especially the villains!)

Honorable Mentions:

Fic Writer Review

Thank you for the tag, @flutteringdreams-matw!! I loved reading your review, and I’m stoked to have the opportunity to fill this out myself, too!

1) How many works do you have on AO3? 46. And not all of them have been transferred over from FFN. There’s at least another dozen between multiple fandoms over there, lol.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 656,571. My word.

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? When one of your fandoms is DC Comics...Does that count as one or several? LOL. xD

There’s been Merlin, Danny Phantom, Batman (Comics), Young Justice (cartoon), Teen Titans (cartoon), Titans (TV Show), Smallville (TV show), The Justice League (movie), The Flash (Arrowverse TV Show), Miraculous Ladybug, Harry Potter, Rise of the Guardians, How to Train Your Dragon, Sword Art Online (anime), Blue Exorcist (anime), The Bright Sessions (podcast). Might be missing some.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? 1. Come Alive (Young Justice) 2. life, if well lived (Batman) 3. On Three (Miraculous Ladybug) 4. a million dreams (Batman) 5. Genesis (Danny Phantom)

@redriotted should be informed that my top two are fics she requested from me via prompts I’m sure neither of us expected I would ever fill. Love you, dear! I credit you for these fics!

5. Which of your fic do you want more attention for? Difficult question for me to answer. I’ve been gifted with lovely feedback on most of my work. I guess if I were to choose one it would be Locking Up the Sun (Batman)? It’s a Fantasy AU. A fantastic exercise in world-building. I had so much fun with it that I’ve been playing with the idea of spinning bits of it into an original work.

6. Do you respond to comments, why or why not? YES. I try to respond to every review and comment I receive. I understand it takes a lot of time and energy for some people, but from the moment I posted my first Merlin fic in 2011, I needed to respond, even if with nothing more than a little thank you. And I’m not about to stop the habit. I met some of my dearest friends responding to reviews. I still meet wonderful people doing so. :) 7. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? Uhhhh, I’m not sure? I guess it depends on perspective. Most of my fics end happily, or rather, I am quite heavy-handed on the comfort part of the Hurt/Comfort trope. I do bittersweet more often than I do angst. I wrote a Merlin AU inspired by The Picture of Dorian Gray about Uther Pendragon that was pretty angsty? Grief was another one, also in the Merlin fandom. I’m sure there were some in my FFN Merlin oneshot collection Rabbits and Bathroom Breaks that apply, but lord knows I hardly remember half of what I’ve posted in that monster.

8. Do you write crossovers? Once. I wrote a Rise of the Guardians/Frozen crossover with an Elsa/Jack Frost pairing as a gift for a friend. 9. Have you ever received hate on a fic? Oh, of course. Who hasn’t? I’ve been cursed out more than once, too. It always stings, but it’s a matter of stepping back and asking myself: is this constructive? will this make me a better writer? Once you frame the comment/review that way, it’s a bit easier to see that it’s unproductive to linger on it for long. It’s someone’s personal preferences and/or beliefs not aligning with your own. Or someone who can’t quite distance themselves from fiction enough to realize you are not always what you write, nor are you a reflection of the characters/plot you’re writing about.

10. Do you write smut? if so what kind? Rarely, and only as crack or as a joke. Nothing I would ever share in public. RIP Uther Pendragon/Troll fic of circa 2013-2014. I do so wish I’d saved you somewhere safe. 11. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes, but I have no idea where they are posted or in what language. Most of the requests came over FFN, so I’m sure they’re available somewhere. In some capacity.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Not quite. My friend and I wrote every other line of the aforementioned Uther/Troll fic in a chatroom, if that counts. 13. What’s your all time favorite ship? I’m far more interested in platonic/family relationships in pretty much every fandom I’m in. If I were to choose one? Adam Hayes/Caleb Michaels from The Bright Sessions. Or Barry Allen/Iris West in The Flash.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? *eyes Shift warily*

I KID. I made a promise over half a decade ago, and I intend on keeping it. In all seriousness: A Merlin time-travel fic I started ages upon ages ago. I hardly remember what the point of it was. There is a fun scene I’ve considered posting as a oneshot more than once over the years, though, just because it makes me laugh.

15. What are your writing strengths? Dialogue, I think? I love it.

16. What are your writing weaknesses? Imagery/action. Give me a single scene focused on a conversation between two hopeless individuals that need some TLC and let me forget about where they are sitting or if they are sitting at all or if there are things that need describing around them, please and thank you. 17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? I’ve done it, in some capacity. I used my knowledge of Latin grammar from old high school classes to try to write spells for Merlin fics. I probably butchered quite a few, lol. I think it’s important to use language as accurately as possible, though, if it were to be used at all. Most of the time I take the lazy man’s route and use dialogue tags and italics, just so I can avoid making ignorant mistakes. As a reader, as long as I have translations in front of me, I’m golden. 18. What was the first fandom you wrote for? Merlin. I owe that fandom everything. 19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written? Come Alive. I don’t know that I have ever had so much fun writing anything in my life. a million dreams (my Flying Grayson time travel tear-jerker) and Not a Bit (my MLB Brothers AU, inspired by the original PV) come in close second. I dig my family feels, obviously. 20. What fic are you most proud of? Shift, my Danny Phantom AU, if only because it’s been seven years since I posted its first chapter. Writing it has felt like pulling teeth at certain points, but it has been with me for a long, long time. Rereading it is like looking at a time lapse of how I’ve developed as a writer, lol. Heart of Gold (Merlin) is another. Before Shift, it was the longest fic I’d ever written, one, and it was my first time really developing an OC/attempting a redemption arc as well. It was far from a perfect fic, but boy did I feel like a queen when I finished it. I’m sure you might’ve done something like this at some point, @cdelphiki, but here you go! @breynekai-tfc, too! And anyone else who sees and wants to share, please do so!

In Defense of Salt AND Sugar: Aka ML Fandom pls chill out.

So I don’t talk much as those who follow me will say I tend to just stick to myself and my own things. HOWEVER, Ive gotten a lot of asks about why I write both Salt and Sugar for Miraculous Ladybug.

The short answer: Both salt and sugar are valid, fun, intriguing things to read and write and the point of writing is to entertain and be entertained.

The long answer: Salt isn’t inherently someone hating on your fav show and sugar isn't someone necessarily giving it a free pass either. Ya’ll are just dramatic as hell.

The LONGER answer:

I write salt because I LIKE Miraculous Ladybug, BUT the show has not lived up to its potential AT ALL. The show could be so much better and the characters are so flawed or full of holes that occasionally I feel FRUSTRATED and mad!

I hate that Alya a character who I was so excited about, gets shafted ignored, sidelined, or written like a jerk! She could have been this great detective working alongside her friend to unmask the villain, but instead she often comes across as pushy, obsessed with Ladynoir or Adrinette, and so damn easily tricked. Not to mention how when shes not gushing over her ‘ships’ shes pushed to the side and ignored. [or you know... LILA]

I hate that Marinette’s crush makes her do things that are so cringy and awkward i feel ill I hate that she’s constantly the only one making mistakes and ‘learning lessons’ when the show has all these other great characters that could use the spotlight and be the ones learning lessons. I hate that she’s so jealous and that she cant ever seem to catch a break as if the show is punishing her constantly.

I HATE that Adrien is a mary sue, how the writers say hes perfect and treat him as such, I hate that he gets to guilt Marinette into fixing everything and dealing with bullies, I wanted a funny, Ron Stoppable, naive boy who learns about real friendships and grows into a great partner. Instead he gets to be pushy and downright a jerk as Chat Noir ignoring his responsibilities, guilting Ladybug with his feelings, never taking no as an answer. He’s not a good role model for kids.

I hate that Chloe got built up to have a redemption arc several times only for the writers to decide that Chloe a teenage girl who needs some serious therapy [and actual reasonable punishment for her actions] is worse than Gabriel child abuse Agreste. She could have been a great lesson on compassion and growth and dealing with your own pain without hurting others. Instead the writers wrote her off completely.

And dont get me started on how the show treats Nino, Kagami, Luka and the rest of the cast. They may as well be a backdrop for the forced love square that we NEVER get a break from. Seriously I’m a sucker for romance but does it need to be EVERY damn episode?! Can’t we just get some wholesome friendship between everyone including Adrien and Marinette at this point like COME ON.

And i’m not even touching on the white washing, awful lessons on responsibility and forgiveness, awful lessons on well so much other stuff really, the guilt trips, the teacher, the fact that she show could be used to teach kids how to better handle negative emotions and the importance of open communication and not keeping quiet about injustice and/or your feelings but instead decided that the main priority should be a love square that gets force fed to us EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.

My point is the show has FLAWS. That doesn’t mean its the worse show ever and it doesn’t mean its not fun, and has a great premise and characters, and so when I write Salt I write it because i’m frustrated! Im frustrated with the show, with the characters, with the writing and so I vent that out with salt I write those characters as their worst selves because I cant stand how the show has decided to treat them and Im ANGRY and disappointed.

It feels good to write salt and to read it. It’s nice to see characters get called out for bad behavior, its nice to read about Adrien not getting the girl. Its nice to occasionally indulge in salt because it validates that the show is flawed and lets you get out that frustration.

BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE

Miraculous Ladybug is a lovely show. It’s a show that decided to give little girls a FEMALE HERO. And not just as a side kick or background character! No they made her the protagonist! Its so important to me that little girls see good well rounded female characters in media.

And even if the show is clumsy about it they are TRYING to build an expansive lore that tickles the theorist brain. And gets people invested in the world.

The show also made Marinette shy, and awkward, and clumsy something a lot of girls deal with during puberty as growing up can literally make you clumsier as your body adjusts. Having a character who tries to be positive and tries to find solutions who solves things with creativity instead of pure violence. Thats LOVELY for young girls to see.

Growing up I loved and admired Kim Possible, and probably would have loved Marinette, even if the shows not perfect I can admit its trying and I can see why people love it as much as they do! And why they write these fluffy sugary fics its the reason I WRITE fluffy sugary things.

Because even though I am frustrated and angry and disappointed with the show, I still see Alya’s potential and how great she is as representation to little girls who want a black female superhero so I write fluff where Alya’s loyalty, compassion, cleverness and her pursuit of justice are center stage.

I see how Adrien could be better and I want him to be better and I WANT him to be the naive funny comic relief the Ron Stoppable to Marinette’s Kim Possible. I want Adrien to grow and learn and spit in his dad’s face I want him to overcome the abuse and be happy. To show people that neglect and abuse doesn’t mean you will get stuck like that forever, that you can overcome that and be a better kinder person.

I want Nino and Kagami, and Luka and Chloe and the class to grow and get attention and have funny moments I want to laugh and make other people laugh! So I write prompts focused around comedy and shenanigans and where the characters get to be fun and silly and make decisions for themselves!

SO IN CONCLUSION:

I write salt AND sugar. I see the value and merit in both sides of the coin, and I respect how other people see the show. I know its easy to get angry with other people in the fandom who see the show differently then you do but please can we put down the weapons and just BREATHE.

Someone who writes salt might LOVE the same show as you, and they might in fact love it so much that they vent their frustrations in angst and salt and cracky fics. Let them vent about how they wish the show was better, leave their tags alone or block them if you cant stand to see it. But dont attack salt writers for ‘hating on your show’ when they might love it just as much as you do but want a way to vent out their feelings.

On the flip someone who writes sugar might NOT be forgiving the show for its flaws, they might see all the same flaws as you but decide to take that frustration and write fluff and fix it fics and sugar because they want to indulge in a version of their favorite show where everything is just... OK. Where everyone is well written and happy and the character development sticks. Stay out of their tags let them have their sugar, they aren't writing it to hurt you just like you don't write salt to hurt them.

So ENOUGH. Enough hunting each other down, enough sending each other hate, enough filling each others tags. Let people write SALT if they feel angry and vengeful and disappointment, let them have their tags, let them explore the dark side of the characters, let them rant and rave and be HURT when the characters they love upset them with their actions. Its not your place to tell them to stop, to tell them their feelings are invalid, to tell them that ‘adrien is sweet sunshine boy how dare you’ or ‘alya would never’ or ‘i hate your marinette leaves dupont au’. Just leave it be, heed the tags, and let it go.

AND ENOUGH. Enough hunting each other down, enough sending each other hate, enough filling each other tags. Let people write SUGAR if they just want something to feel happy about. Let them makes coffee shop au’s, let them make fix it fics where everything is just happy without needing 8 pages of backstory for why everything is just happy. Let them squeal and gush and talk about the ship they like and the fluff they see. Its not your place to argue with them that the show is flawed, its not cool to ruin their fun by accusing them of not understanding the flaws, to tell them ‘umm actual this character shouldn’t get to be happy’ or ‘wow this is so shallow’. Just leave it be, heed the tags, and let it go.

PS: Now with that said and done. I do have one final message for everyone - If you write/enjoy pedophilia, if you sexualize KIDS. Then get the fuck out of fandom spaces, stop fucking following me, and do everyone salt and sugar a favor by LEAVING. Your pedophilia and child sexualization aint wanted, aint ok, and I will fight you.

PSS: IF YOU HATE WHAT IVE SAID ABOUT SUGAR AND SALT FINE OK I RESPECT YOU REGARDLESS. ENJOY THE SHOW, STAY CLASSY, DONT HURT PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION.

Tim Drake when his Future child comes to the Present

Dick Grayson Ver.| Jason Todd Ver. | Damian Wayne Ver. | Bruce Wayne Ver.

Conner Kent Ver. | Wally West Ver.

You had been dating Tim for about 4 years now

You started dating in the middle of high school

Now you both were in college and living together in a nice penthouse

You knew all about his family’s secret

It was difficult to hide it when you started living together

Since he was always leaving in the middle of the night, never slept and always came back only once the sun rose

You knew that something was up with him but him telling you that he dressed up like a ketchup bottle and ran around town trying to stop crime was ridiculously bizarre

Although not surprising

Because it doesn’t make sense that a nerd like him has such a fit body

Or such a pacifist has so many scars

After you found out though, it’s like you’re his second Alfred

Alfred-Lite, if you will

Not as good as the original but hey it still works

He often came to you to vent and for advice

And you being the amazing S/O you are, you offer the support he needs

Always listening to him wholeheartedly

Being kind of like his caretaker because he tends to do the opposite of taking care of himself

Basically, being a good, supportive, healthy couple

You knew about his night time adventures and stuff

But all the stories that he told you were either really vague or really belated

Tim wanted to keep you far away from this part of his life as possible

You were used to being kept in the dark about it

And you didn’t really mind

Because that meant you’d never be put in the middle of anything weird

Or so you thought

Tim was at work and you were at home

Just lazing about

When a large flash of light appeared right in front of you

And then two kids you didn’t know were running towards you

Huge smiles on their faces

“Mommy!!”

And then jumped up on the couch and wrapped their chubby arms around you

You were frozen

What the hell just happened?

Not knowing what you should do

You just called Tim

“Hey sunshine.”

“Hey....”

“Everything alright?”

“I don’t know....”

“What happened?”

You heard him get concerned over the phone but you were kind of reeling

You had absolutely no idea what was going on

You just glanced back at the kids who were sitting on the couch

A boy and a girl

They looked about 2 years old

And they were sitting calmly on the sofa, watching whatever mindless cartoon you put on TV

“I’m not entirely sure.”

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t know, I was just sitting there and not doing anything and then suddenly there was a flash of light and then there are these kids here and they’re calling me mom and I have no idea what is going on.”

While you’re waiting for Tim to come home a fight breaks out between the two

Apparently, they were singing the alphabet song and then the boy got it wrong

So, the girl was telling him he was wrong

And he got upset and pulled her hair

She started crying and hit him

He started crying

And that’s how Tim walked in on you trying to calm them both down

They were crying so hard that their faces were red

Once they saw him in the hallway, they immediately ran to him

“Daddy!”

Both latch onto his legs

Crying their eyes out and getting snot, tears and drool on his pant legs

“Did they just call me dad?”

“They think we’re their parents.”

It doesn’t take Tim long to understand what might be going on here

It’s clear that they look just like a mix of the both of you

He just needs a DNA test to make sure

He wants to get them to the Batcave as soon as possible

But first he has to get them to stop crying

You come over to help him out, carrying the boy and he picks up the girl

They both sob for a little bit before you calm them down

Tim explaining what he thinks might have happened in hushed whispers as you try to rock them to sleep

Apparently, the crying tuckered them out so you tucked the both of them in your bed

Carefully placing a blanket around them

Making a border of pillows so they don’t roll over and fall of the bed

When you turn around, Tim is watching you with a fond smile

“What?”

“So, this is what it would feel like if we had kids.”

You chuckled, “I guess you’re right. They’re cute, aren’t they?”

“When they’re not screaming their lungs out.”

You both sit down and try and make sense of everything before the twins wake up

Tim said he’d take DNA samples and go to the Batcave during patrol tonight

One of the twins wake up a little before noon

He came up to Tim and nearly scared him to death

“Daddy, I’m hungry.”

“Uh...okay, boy, do you want some cereal?”

“I don’t think you should be giving him sugar right after he wakes up.” You told him, coming out of the kitchen

The baby boy’s face lights up and he stumbles over to you

“Mommy!”

The cutest thing you’ve ever seen

You can’t help the bright smile that threatens to split apart your face

Hugging the adorable baby boy and pressing kisses all over his face as he laughs

Tim just watches the two of you with a small smile as his son starts to place slobbery kisses on your face

“Do you want some fruit, baby?”

“Hmmm yes!”

You quickly googled how to cut up fruit in the shape of fun animals and stuff

And by the time you were done, the other twin woke up

She quietly padded her way to the living room

Still rubbing her eyes

When she found Tim working on his laptop, she tried to crawl up his leg

But he had to pick her up and place her in his lap

Her curling towards him and falling asleep again

Drooling all over his shirt and clutching one of his fingers in a tiny little fist

Tim looks down and watches his cute little girl who looks just like you

And he can’t help his heart from soaring

You marry him in the future

And have 2 or more beautiful children

And become a family

A part of him still nagged that this was too good to be true

That they couldn’t confirm anything without a DNA test

But he noticed the adorable way his girl was sucking on her thumb

And then he looked at the way you were grinning and playing with his son

And for a second he just felt complete

Like everything was right in the world

So, he just wrapped his arms around the baby girl and kissed the top of her head

Meanwhile you’re winded from running around the kitchen pretending you’re a dinosaur

As the day progresses, you learn both of their names

The boy is named Alfie (short of Alfred) and the girl is named Janet

You tell him not to leave you alone for patrol because you’re not sure you can handle them

So, he decides it would be best to take everyone to the manor for a night

Later that night you strap in the twins to their car seats and take them to the Manor

To say that the bats were surprised when you rolled up to the manor with 2 kids was an understatement

“Oh, please don’t tell me you adopted them! Bruce already has a problem; you don’t need to get one too.”

Before he has a change to explain himself

Alfie wiggles out of his arms and runs up to Bruce

“Grampa!”

Now everyone’s kinda shocked

Janet is still kinda drowsy but she smiles and holds her hands out for Dick

“Dickie.”

“What’s going on?”

“Well....”

You take a DNA test just to be sure but it confirms whatever you already knew

The boys take turns passing them around

It isn’t hard to tell that the twins have favourites

Alfie kept running between Bruce and Damian, not wanting to be picked up

Janet kept getting passed between Jason and Dick

During dinner, when Alfie insisted that he wanted to sit in Damian’s lap and eat was when you realized something

“Don’t you think it’s weird how Alfie recognizes Damian?”

“What do you mean?”

“Assuming we have kids when we’re older, wouldn’t Damian have gotten a growth spurt?”

“Oh, you don’t think......?”

“Let’s not say it.”

Tim ends up going on patrol late in favour of staying with his kids

Because Alfie and Janet starting crying for ‘Daddy’ when he told them he was going to go for sometime

And you both totally freaked out and gave in

Damian tutted disapprovingly however

“You shouldn’t spoil your spawns and have them get attached.”

“They’re babies, Damian, and what would you know about childcare anyway?”

Damian sneers but when Alfie waves goodbye to him, he can’t hide the tiny smile on his face

So, you 4 are left on your own

Even though Tim is tempted to go down to the Batcave

He stays with you and the twins

And it’s then you get to talk to each other openly

In a way, it kind of relaxes you knowing that you’re going to have twins with Tim someday

Like there won’t be any unexpected surprises

You could prepare from the start

And even though they’re just babies, you can still see their personalities

Janet is more like Tim, laid-back and timid

Alfie definitely got your sunny nature and friendliness, even though he looked like a carbon copy of Tim

And they both really seemed to adore their parents

That reassured you because you were always scared that Tim wouldn’t have the time to be there for his kids like Bruce

But it reassures you how much they love Tim and don’t seem estranged to his affection

So, the four of you cuddle underneath a blanket in the living room, playing a Disney movie

Halfway through you stop watching the screen and instead watch the babies in your laps

How their eyes light up and they smile with the characters on the screen

But around 10 you figured you should put them to sleep

So, you tuck both of them in Tim’s old bedroom, making sure they weren’t too hot

And he tells you he’s going to get ready for patrol

Just before he leaves, there’s a bright flash of light in Tim’s room and the two of you freeze, worried for the twins

“Oh, thank goodness, thank goodness, you’re safe.” You hear whispered inside

When you enter, you—or future you—is right by the bed, clutching her heart

“I told you they’d be just fine, babe.”

“Don’t even talk to me, I can’t believe your brother sent my children to the past.”

“We knew it was going to happen eventually!”

Now Tim and you were watching the future Tim and you argue in heated whispers, not wanting to wake up the twins

It was only then you noticed that they weren’t that much older than what you were right now

“Wow, I was right, we do have them young.”

Finally, their attention got turned to you and the older you smiled sheepishly, “Yeah, you might wanna take a pregnancy test when you get home.”

Your eyes widened, “NOW?!”

Older Tim blushed, “Sorry about that, my bad. But you can hurt past me for it, I’m already gotten the beating for it.”

They bundle up the twins, pulling them into their arms and peppering kisses to their heads

“Mommy and daddy are never leaving you again. Oh, I’m so sorry.” Older you whispered, holding Janet tightly and then looked Alfie over in Tim’s arms

“We’ll be taking our leave now.” Tim said, pressing a button that opened a vortex in the middle of the room

Before he left, he looked your Tim right in the eyes

“(Y/N) gets scary when she’s pregnant, don’t annoy her. Also, don’t say you’re going to stick to her pregnancy diet. It’s the worst 9 months of your life.”

“Shut up! You couldn’t even cut down on coffee for a week.”

And they leave, taking the twins with them and you suddenly feel a little lonely

And then you remember what future you said

Tim is looking ghostly pale beside you and a hand goes to your stomach

“I guess all of that is going to come a little sooner than expected.”

“Well, at least we know what their names are gonna be.”

“Hm yeah.”

“Wanna get a pregnancy test?”

“If we can get one without Alfred finding out.”

Even though you were treating it pretty casually

When you looked up at Tim and saw him smiling at you lovingly, your heart felt full

Yes, you were young

Yes, you were scared

But if the outcome was so beautiful then what was there to lose?

“I can’t wait.”

“Me either.”

DIY Nerf Gun

Jason Todd x Reader (Drabble)

A/N: idk where this idea came from don't ask

"You loaded my guns with tampons?!" Jason hissed, incredulously as if he couldn't believe it himself and you blushed, unable to hide your giggles even though he was glaring at you.

"Well, my sister came over and we wanted to play with nerf guns but we're both broke so I thought I'd DIY them." You explained, shrugging but you still found the situation hilarious. You could only imagine the look on Dick's face when you told him.

"I was caught in a stand-off with a gun-man!! Want to know what happened when I shot him with a tampon?"

The look of amusement was wiped off your face, "Did he hurt you?"

"No! He started laughing so hard I knocked him unconscious before he could aim!"

You grinned, "Problem solved!"

Jason Todd when his Future child comes to the Present

Dick Grayson Ver. | Tim Drake Ver. | Damian Wayne Ver. | Bruce Wayne Ver.

Conner Kent Ver. | Wally West Ver.

One summer afternoon, Alfred was tidying up the living room, making some tea for himself and was going to wake up Tim

He heard the doorbell and briefly wondered if anyone was expecting company

Although it wasn’t alien for the boys’ friends to randomly show up at the manor

When he gets to the door, there’s a teenage girl who looks scared and worried when he opens the door, he wonders if it’s another girl from Tim’s class to confess her love

“Alfred?”

“Yes. And who might you be, young lady?”

She looked scared by the question and bit her lip, “Well, I’m kind of from the future.”

Now he’s wondering if he should believe her or not

“My name is Aria Todd.”

Now this surprises him but Alfred is a good judge of character so he can see she’s not lying but still is sceptical

Invites her in for a cup of tea anyway and once she sees Bruce, she gapes a little

“What’s the matter?”

“Nothing. Just that I can’t believe Grandpa Bruce was ever young.”

It isn’t long before everyone in the manor is introduced to her

As expected, none of them actually believe her

Not even when she reveals that she knows how to enter the Batcave

All of the boys want to run a DNA test on her to prove her story but Bruce doesn’t have any DNA samples belonging to Jason

So, he has to call him up and Jason doesn’t sound happy

“What do you want, Bitch?”

At all

“Jason let’s save the pleasantries; I need you to come to the cave as soon as you can.”

“Ha, fat chance. Good night.”

“Jason. There’s someone here saying she’s your daughter from the future.”

“And you believe that bullshit?”

“Not until we can get a DNA sample of yours and compare. Get here tomorrow. And bring (Y/N) with you.”

The next morning, Jason comes to the manor with you by his side, albeit reluctantly

You’re looking uncertain

“Jason, I don’t know how I feel about meeting your family so early honestly.”

“Sorry babe, I know, but Bruce insisted and he usually doesn’t poke his nose in my personal life.”

He greeted Alfred happily, introducing you proudly as his girlfriend, even though you’ve only been going out a couple of months

When you’re in the living room, making small talk with Damian and Tim, Jason asks Alfred where his supposed daughter is

He tells Jason that Aria is still asleep in Jason’s old room

Apparently, that was the room she spent the nights in when she stayed at the manor in the future

Jason got ever more sceptical, why would he let his daughter stay at the manor

When he enters his old room, he notices the teenage girl curled up in his bed, clutching one of his pillows

He crept closer to get a better look and she stirred, making out his silhouette in the room

“Daddy…?”

He froze and she rolled over, rubbing the sleep from her eyes

“I had the worst dream dad; I was in the past and no one knew me and I couldn’t find you or mom or anyone.” She rambled

When she didn’t get any response, she sat up, looking more awake, with a frown on her face

“It wasn’t a dream, was it?”

Jason shook his head

“Sorry kiddo.”

She sighed and crawled out of bed, brushing past him and into the hallway and Jason followed her

He got back to your side and you wondered whether the girl with him was his sister

“Dad, why are you with grandma?”

“WHAT?!”

Everyone looks like she might as well as slapped them

Bruce and Jason especially (you’re kinda confused but)

She burst into laughter, “Wow, you actually believed that? Fuck I must be a better liar than I thought.”

“Watch your fucking language! Don’t play that shit with me again!”

And you’re just confused af cuz like why is she calling me grandma as a joke? Why is she calling Jason dad?

Then everyone has to explain to you just what was going on

“So, you’re my daughter that I apparently have with Jason?”

“Yep, it’s so great to meet a version of you where you can’t win every argument by saying ‘you lived inside me!’ over and over again”

“Well, it’s true! It was the worst hours of labour of my entire life!”

“You haven’t even given birth to me yet!”

And Jason is cackling in the background

He’s also really relieved cuz you don’t seem weirded out or scared or something

So, Bruce and Alfred take DNA samples from all three of you

While you’re all waiting Jason is just staring at her suspiciously when she growls and kicks him in the shin

“OW! What was that for, you brat?!”

“Stop looking at me like that!! Stop looking at me like you don’t know me! I’m going to be your daughter! I’m not some stranger!”

Jason feels apologetic

This whole time he kept treated her like some suspicious person but if she actually was his daughter then she’s probably just scared and hurt that her family has no idea who she is

“There must be some other way you can prove you’re my spawn.”

She smirks, confidence coming back and is like, “’Course I can.”

Then she sauntered over to the side of the living room, grabbing the gun off the mantle (which you thought was just for display purposes)

And fires off a round, making a smiley face of bullets in the wall

Jason has a tiny happy tear in the corner of his eye like ‘That’s my daughter, all right.’

And you’re just cowering behind him like ‘WHY DOES OUR DAUGHTER KNOW HOW TO FIRE A GUN’

When the results come back, no one is that surprised to find out they’re positive

And immediately everyone wants to try and find out about the future

“Well, Uncle Tim is CEO of Wayne Tech and is partners with Uncle Dami.”

“What? I’d never lower myself to partner with the likes of him.”

“Tt, Likewise.”

“Uncle Dick has a bunch of children with his wife.”

“What? Dick? The playboy of the century?”

She just shrugs, “Where I come from, he’s the grandma of the century.”

“Anything else?”

“Oh! Grandpa gets married the last of all of you. Apparently, I was the flower girl at his wedding but I was too young to remember anything.”

And everyone is laughing their asses off cuz Bruce? The playboy? Only manages to get a girl after all his sons have settled down?

She tells you all about her daily life, how sickly in love you and Jason are

She tells you about how you guys have family dinners once a month at the manor even though Jason tries to protest

“Mom always said after I was born, the family was brought closer together. I guess I’m the glue of this family, right?”

You cringe and turn to your boyfriend, “She gets her big head from you.”

He snorted, “You should hope not, you’re the one who has to give birth to that.”

Apparently, she has a younger brother too, named Alfie (Short for Alfred)

In the span of one day, she tells you all about your future, still being vague enough to not spoil the surprises that were yet to come

“She’s just like you, babe.” Jason said, kissing your temple and you laugh, watching her playfully wrestle with Damian, now that he was small enough for her to take him

“She may look like me, but her personality is all you, Jay.”

She talks excitedly through the night and you’re happy to see she isn’t emotionally stunted like Jason usually is

Somewhere in the middle Damian makes an offhanded comment about how he can’t imagine Todd being a good father

And it kind of makes Jason insecure even if he doesn’t show it

“No, dad’s the best. I mean we have our little spats sometimes but he’s the best. If anything, I think mom’s meaner than him.”

You scoff in mock offense, “That’s just because you’re a daddy’s girl!”

“Well, I’m sorry that dad loves me more than you! I’m his flesh and blood, it’s only natural.”

Unfortunately, you don’t get a lot of time to spend with her

Sometime in the middle of the night, right before everyone is going to turn in and go to bed when a portal opens up in the middle of the living room

To no one’s surprise, everyone’s already guns blazing

Jason pulls you behind him when he sees someone step through

“Daddy!”

Aria scrambles into future Jason’s arms and he easily catches her, hugging her tightly and kissing her forehead

Jason then sees what she meant when she said he was looking at her weirdly

Because when he looked at his future self, he could see the amount of love, worry and protectiveness in his eyes

That was what a father looked like

At it relieves him a little bit

Because he knows that one day, he’ll be able to look at his kids like that

Aria turns back to you both one last time with a huge grin, “Thanks for everything, guys!”

Future Jason meets past Jason’s eyes with a small smirk

“Don’t fuck things up for the both of us, you’ve got a good life ahead of you. And stop fucking swearing in front of Aria otherwise (Y/N)’s always gonna blame you for her potty mouth.”

He sends you a wink and you can’t help but laugh when Aria scoffs

“Ew dad, mom’s like 20 years younger, stop.”

Bruce Wayne when his Future child comes to the Present

Dick Grayson Ver. | Jason Todd Ver. | Tim Drake Ver. | Damian Wayne Ver.

Conner Kent Ver. | Wally West Ver.

A/N: This is the longest one yet. God it’s so damn long. I techincally am still not taking requests but @honey-im-emotional put the idea in my head and I couldn’t stop thinking about it until I wrote it. Also the ending is unrealistic and but like this whole thing is unrealistic so.

We all know very well that Bruce is BatDad™️

Has been since he was 28 and adopted a certain Flying Grayson

So, it shouldn’t have been such a surprise that another kid would find his or her way into the Wayne family

Let me set the scene for you

Bruce and the others were at the Manor

Dick and Jason were visiting and Alfred insisted that they stay the night

It was nearly sunrise and everyone was fast asleep

Little sleeping beauties

Bruce was asleep in his giant rich man bed

Underneath thick rich man covers

In silk rich man pyjamas

He hears another breath in the room vaguely before he feels tiny palms on him

And his eyes immediately snap open

Batman instincts, you know

I don’t doubt that he would’ve immediately gotten into an attacking position

Full defence tactics on

And what he sees freaks him out a little

A moving lump underneath his covers

At first, he thinks it’s Ace or any of the other animals but it’s too small to be Titus and too big to be Alfred

The cat not the person

A part of him is like immobilize the lump before you check it out

But he remembered the tiny palms and then thinks against it

He peels back the covers to see a tiny human

A little boy with black hair

And big beautiful blue eyes

Staring up at him in wonder

As soon as he noticed that Bruce was looking at him, he started giggling

“Daddy!”

And now he’s thinking that Dick, Jason, Tim or Damian or even Alfred has accidently regressed their age

Why does everyone look so damn similar?

Come to think of it, it could be Cass too

“Hi daddy!”

The kid was still smiling widely at him, in the childlike manner that all of his kids have

Bruce isn’t that surprised

Let’s be honest, this isn’t the weirdest thing that happened to him

He goes around town as a giant bat each night, fighting crime

Dick likes to swing on chandeliers

Jason came back to life

Tim figured out he was Batman before he even hit puberty

And Damian, well everything about Damian was weird

So, he picks up the small boy

Who immediately grinned and snuggled into him

ngl his heart skipped a beat

And he’s thinking he’ll check everyone’s beds until he can determine just who turned into a baby

He goes to everyone’s room, waking them up in progress

It was like the whisper game except everyone’s too tired for this shit

And by the time he gets to Jason’s bedroom, everyone is wide awake and knows what’s going on

And Jason just wakes up to see his family, and a baby in Bruce hands and rolls his eyes

“I thought you said Demon boy would be the last one.”

And instead of having breakfast, everyone is wondering who this baby is

“So, a random baby got through your security fences to have nap time with you?”

“Could be a past version of one of us.”

“Then let’s get a DNA test and sort out the problem.”

And that’s exactly what they do

They put the boy in the TV room with some breakfast (Cereal à la Dick)

And just when they were about to leave

“Where are you going, daddy?”

Bruce’s, THE Batman’s, mind kinda just goes blank

“We’ll be back in a few minutes, champ.”

The young boy, so obedient and well-behaved, just nodded his head

And they slip out quickly

And they compare the DNA to each and every one of them

Only problem is that the results come out only half Bruce Wayne and half someone else

And don’t match Damian

“Another secret child Bruce? You really need to keep it in your pants.”

“I agree.”

Bruce is so goddamn tired

Why does he have another blood son who he had no memory of making?

“That doesn’t explain how he got inside the manor. Or why he thinks I’m his dad.”

It was quiet for a second, while everyone was thinking

And then Dick spoke up

“Well, why don’t we just ask him?”

“Because....I don’t know.”

And Dick was already on his way back to the screening room, with the others at his heels

“Hey buddy!” He said when he got the kids eyes on him

Immediately he lit up, grinning sweetly at him

“Dickie!”

Now that surprised him

Dick sat next to him, scooping him up in his arms and placing him in his lap

“You wanna play a game, bud?”

He nodded excitedly

“Let’s pretend as if we’re meeting each other for the first time.”

“Okay.”

“Great! I’ll go first. Hi, my name’s Dick Grayson, what’s your name?”

“I’m Calvin Wayne!”

Wayne?

“Hi Calvin! How old are you bud?”

“I’m four years old!”

“Wow, you’re so smart, Calvin! Okay one more question, do you know which year you were born?”

“Two, zero, two, three.”

Now, either this kid was confused or he knew exactly what he was talking about

Dick’s mind was whirring, as was everyone else’s who was hiding behind the door

“Dickie, can we play a different game? This one is boring.”

Dick laughed, “It was a little boring, right?”

“Yeah, let’s play circus!”

“No can do, little guy, you just ate breakfast. Maybe later.”

“Mmm Okay!”

And Dick just saunters out of the room

And everyone is just staring at him in awe

“How did you do that?”

“Please, I tamed Damian, a little angel like him is a piece of cake.”

And no one can deny that

So, now they’ve all understood that this kid is supposedly Bruce Wayne’s future son that he had with some woman

Not that surprising

And he came from the future

A little bit surprising

“Daddy?” Calvin asks coming out of the TV room, “Where’s mommy?”

A lot bit surprising

“Um, come again?”

“Where’s mommy? I miss her.”

Bruce looked like he was going to have an aneurysm

No offense, but his kids had a history of not having mothers

Okay, so maybe he co-parents

That makes sense

Right?

And everyone is kinda floundering because this adorable kid is staring up at them

With such wide and innocent eyes

Genuinely asking where his mother was because he missed her

And Bruce had to tread very lightly

“Um, your mom isn’t here, buddy.”

“Why? Where did she go?”

Hoping to distract him, Bruce just comes up with a cover story

“She went to the store; do you want ice cream?”

His eyes lit up, “Okay! But mommy doesn’t like it when we have ice cream in the morning. Where is mommy? We should ask her.”

And suddenly he wanted his mother again

“Um, I already asked her and she said we can have one bowl of ice cream.”

“Really?! Yay!! We should wait for mommy to get home and share with her!”

Oh, for the love of god

Why was this kid so attached to his mother?

Tim seemed to notice Bruce was flustered and couldn’t think of anything

“Hey, bud, you wanna have a fun brother’s day with all of us today?”

“Yeah!”

“Great! But it can only be your brothers today. No girls allowed.”

“What about Cassie?”

“Cassie won’t come. It’s only boys today.”

“And Cassie will go on a girl’s day with mommy, right? Where is mommy?”

For fucks sake

And then Jason finally steps up, picking up the kid and throwing him over his shoulders

Calvin was laughing happily and everyone suddenly felt better

“Off to the arcade we go!”

And then the Batboys go to the arcade

All in their pyjamas

And Bruce is left behind so he can figure out just what the hell they were going to do with his supposed son

There were a lot of gaps when he came to think about it

His son hasn’t been conceived yet so he figures that he sleeps with a woman, gets her pregnant

Been there, done that

Surprised it’s only happened once

Meanwhile at the arcade

The boys are having a wonderful time with Calvin

The teams are split with Dick, Jason and Calvin against Damian and Tim

Because Dick and Jason are the only ones tall enough to carry Calvin to throw the basketballs

Tim tries to throw the game for the kid

But Damian is super competitive

So, both teams are almost tied

Mainly because when Calvin isn’t looking, Jason makes a lot of shots for him

Dick (or Dickie as Calvin likes to call him) is over the moon because hello? More brothers means more love

Means more babies to take care of and nurture

And Dick couldn’t be a better role model

Damian gets kinda jealous that all his attention is on Calvin now

Jason (or Jay-jay) kinda thought he was going to be a brat

But Calvin is such a well-mannered kid

Albeit a little attached and clingy but that just means that Bruce and his mother were raising him right and with a lot of love

Calvin is a smart kid and Jason’s kinda impressed

But tbh anyone looks like an upgrade after they’ve seen Damian

Tim (or Timmy or Timtim which he assumes is supposed to be a pun on Tintin) thinks the kid is cute

He’s kind of awkward with kids though

But he hasn’t tried to kill him yet so he already has a better first impression than Damian

Damian (or Dami) thinks he’s kind of annoying

Not only is he not the youngest brother anymore

He’s also not the only blood son

Doesn’t like it at all

But Calvin kind of looks up to him

Every time he made a shot, Calvin complimented him

“Wow....I want Dami to teach me how to shoot!”

After a couple of hours, the kid got hungry

So, after food, they all decided to go home

Because even though Calvin said he wanted to keep playing

They all noticed the way he kept rubbing his eyes and yawning

So, Dick just scooped him up in his arms

He fell asleep before they even left the arcade

And once they got home, they tucked him in nice and toasty

Inside Bruce’s room

Bruce protested but was quickly shut down

“You want him to wake up in some room he doesn’t recognize and be all alone?”

Bruce so far has been avoiding this kid

Because he doesn’t know what he should be doing

He has no idea who this kid’s mother is and has no idea how to get him back to his own time

And then he comes into his room before he has to leave for patrol

And he sees Calvin’s tiny body underneath the think duvet

He still has a bad habit of sucking his thumb while he’s asleep

But it looks so adorable and innocent to Bruce

His heart honestly sings seeing this adorable baby who is so innocently sleeping

Without a care in the world

And so vulnerable

Like he trusts Bruce with his life

And he feels safe inside his bed

And that’s when Bruce starts to think that maybe this could be his son

Even though he doesn’t know how Calvin got here

He was going to try and make sure that he was still this happy little ball of sunshine

They wake him up after a quick nap though

Because otherwise he wouldn’t sleep through the night

And Bruce spends the rest of the night with him

He absolutely loves when Calvin calls him ‘Daddy’

Because even though he has so many kids

He was never with them since infancy

He was so young and small

And had yet to see all the cruelty of the world

They watched movies and played together

Until he got tired again and Bruce had to leave for patrol

The next morning unfortunately Bruce has a meeting to go to

But he entrusts his sons to look after their youngest brother

He still has an hour before the meeting starts when Dick comes in with Calvin squirming in his arms and ice cream on Calvin’s face

As soon as he sees Bruce, he squirms out his hands and runs to him

“Daddy!”

And starts crying into his chest

Getting snot and tears and saliva and chocolate ice cream on his shirt

“What happened, champ?”

“No one’s telling me where mommy is!”

Bruce takes a while to calm him down

Puts some cartoons on his designated work laptop

God bless his recommended for the next few weeks

And quickly tells his secretary that he needs a new shirt

After a while, Calvin says he needs to go to the bathroom so Dick takes him

And his secretary comes into his office

“Hey, I got a shirt from Ralph Lauren and a couple of ties that go with it.”

And there was you

The best secretary he’d ever had in his entire life

You’re damn good at your job

And you look damn good while doing it

But you’re not just his secretary, you’re like his best friend

His home away from home

Because his home was crazy and you felt safe and normal

And he’ll never tell you because he treasures you but he’s been in love with you for like 2 years

Teenage shit

Which he’s quite embarrassed about but he doesn’t know how to deal with normal people

And he doesn’t want to just sleep with you and have a relationship like the others

He feels like he can have honest and weird talks with you

4 am talks when you both are kind of tipsy and have no filters

He didn’t just want a relationship with you

He wanted a life with you

And all his desires were way too heavy for his heart to handle

He wanted something so normal

The feeling was foreign to him

So, in the meantime, he was just fine having you in his life

You come inside, holding up the shirt to his body just to check if it’s the correct size

When you hear the door open

And

“MOMMY!”

And a tiny body came crashing into you and you went crashing into Bruce

Who was sturdy enough not to fall

You were so close to Bruce that you could smell his cologne

His eyes were so blue and pretty

He was so much more handsome up close

And your face got damn red until you realized the hand on your ass was way too tiny to be his

When you look down, the cutest, most adorable little baby boy was staring up at you with a wide smile

“I missed you mommy!”

And your maternal instincts just go through the roof

You squat down to his eye level

In stilettos may I add

Bruce is Batman but even he can’t manage that

“Sweetheart, I’m not your mom, but don’t worry, we’re going to find her as soon as possible.”

He looks kind of devasted

Which you understand

But your heart still kind of breaks

His eyes fill up with tears

Again, understandable

But you still panic

“Daddy, I want mommy!” He starts wailing and runs into Bruce’s arms

“You adopted another kid?!”

“Um....”

But oops his meeting has to start now so Bruce has to leave

And Dick gets a red alert from the precinct

So now you have to babysit Calvin

Yes, I know this is an amazing sequence of coincidences

But it’s my work so boohoo you

Bruce is constantly apologizing

But you’re his secretary and you get paid to make his life easier

So, you’re just like don’t worry about it I’ll take care of the little man for now

Ignoring the fact that he literally just called you mom

And cried his eyes out when he realized you weren’t

The two of you were watching cartoons in the office

Calvin crawled into your lap and you were holding him tightly

It was these types of moments that made you want to be a mom in the future

Suddenly there’s a bright light in the middle of the room

You shield your eyes but forget to cover Calvin’s

And then you hear

“MOMMY! DADDY!”

When you open your eyes, there’s a woman who looks just like you and Bruce Wayne in a Batman costume

Future you scoops him up in your arms and peppers his face in a bunch of kisses

“Ugh I love you, I love you, I love you so much my precious baby.”

You make out the giant diamond on her finger and the wedding ring as well

When Calvin is finally sated and cradled between both his parents, future you notices you staring

“Thanks for taking care of him.”

You just nod, unable to say anything

“Your life is going to completely change from today, (Y/N). Just make me one promise.”

“What?”

“The next question Bruce asks you; you have to say yes.”

“What’s he going to—”

“Just say yes, alright? It changes your life forever.”

You’re pretty sure he’s going to ask you out

And just the thought has your heart racing

Today, the man who you have been in love with for years was finally going to ask you on a date

You wave bye to Calvin and they leave

Not even a minute later

Bruce comes into the office and is surprised to see Calvin missing

“Batman picked him up,” You explain, a shy smile coming on your face, “His wife too.”

He was so relieved

Albeit a little disappointed that he didn’t get to say goodbye

And now a little stressed because now you know his secret

“You don’t have to explain anything to me. I’m okay with just going with the flow.”

And he let’s out a relieved sigh

Letting out all his stress is one breath

“Marry me.”

You were not expecting that

A laugh of disbelief left you and there were so many things rushing through your head

He probably didn’t mean it and it was just a offhanded comment that he made

But you wanted to

It obviously ended well

And you promised

“Okay.”

He blinked, eyes widening when he heard you, “Okay? Seriously? Because I’ll get someone to get a diamond ring right now.”

You laughed tearfully, “I’m your secretary, you loser, I’m the only one who does errands for you.”

“Even better, you can pick out your favourite.”

You didn’t realize you were crying, “Now I love you even more.”

“I love you, (Y/N).”

“I love you too, Bruce.”

Damian Wayne when his Future child comes to the Present

A/N: This is Older!Damian. Let’s just pretend that Damian is still going to be Robin when he’s older

Dick Grayson Ver. | Jason Todd Ver. | Tim Drake Ver. | Bruce Wayne Ver.

Conner Kent Ver. | Wally West Ver.

You hated Damian

With a burning passion

You thought he was annoying, arrogant and downright rude

He felt the same about you

Except he thought you were too sensitive and not dedicated

You were Jason’s adopted sister

He took you in when you were a little girl and he was still murdering people (not that he stopped but)

You had no training whatsoever but you figured out their identities pretty quickly

And everyone loved you so you were free to move around the manor as you pleased

Usually, you wouldn’t really do much in the Batcave except lay around

Damian didn’t like that you just got to lounge around when you could be doing that in the manor

You just did so in the Batcave cuz you got lonely

Did Damian care?

Not at all

So, the two of you arguing wasn’t foreign

Especially since you permanently moved to the manor when Jason decided you would be safer there

Bruce was all too happy to shelter you there knowing that if you were here Jason would visit more often

And you of course liked the idea of living at Wayne Manor

Damian thought you were just being a gold digger

Thought you were worthless

And you didn’t really mind his verbal onslaughts

You’ve heard worse, living on the streets your entire life

And if being special meant being like him then you wouldn’t want to be

You had some basic skills to prevent you from getting mugged and stuff

But definitely not enough to go out on patrol like the rest of them

“I don’t really mind, I like sleep.”

“Tt. Of course, you’re so lazy.”

“Sleeping 7-8 hours per day is recommended, you little bitch. Not enough sleep is a reason for premature death and I wanna be alive so I can dance on your grave.”

One day while you’re dancing around in the Batcave while the others were on patrol something happened

There was a bright light and something crashed into you

Before you could gain your bearings, the person who fell on top of you starts cursing

“I told Wally not to pull that shit with me! And he ends up doing the same damn stuff again!”

When you open your eyes there’s a boy about your age towering over you

He holds a hand out and hauls you to your feet

“I’m so sorry about tha—Where am I?? Is this the Batcave?”

And you’re so surprised you lean over and press the alarm button to call the closest bat and bring him here

“How did you get in here?”

You both ask at the same time and then get surprised

“You’re the one that shouldn’t be here.”

“Excuse me? You’re the one who shouldn’t be in here. Now tell me who you are before I beat your ass.”

You’re still surprised and a little offended

This guy thinks he can beat your ass?

You have half a mind to grab one of Jason’s guns

Before you have to though, the Bat mobile comes in and out flies Batman and Robin

You can tell they’re surprised too because everyone is just standing around for a second

You expect Robin to do something first because Batman hitting a boy that’s his son age seems a little rude

But the boy opens his mouth before anything happens

“WHY IS HE WEARING THE ROBIN SUIT? WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?”

“Tt. I’m Robin. Who the hell are you?”

“No, I’m Robin.”

And now you’re like is this kid okay? Like does he have a screw loose?

He looks at Batman and starts to say something “Da—”

But then he looks at you and cuts himself off

“Okay, I’m confused.”

“Same.”

You don’t know what else to do other than

“I’m (Y/N). Nice to meet you.”

“Are you stupid (L/N)? Revealing your secret identity could get you killed.”

The boy on the other hand looks shocked

Like you just slapped him, “(Y/N) (L/N)?”

You nod and he turns to Robin, “Damian Wayne?”

Robin’s eyes go wide “How did you—?”

Then he points to Batman, “Bruce Wayne?”

And now all of you are shook

“How did you know that?” You ask

“I think I travelled back in time...my name is Thomas and I’m your son.”

It takes you a few minutes to understand everything

Your knees honestly go a little weak and you fall to the ground

Before you can even hit it though, Damian has an arm wrapped around your shoulders

“Pull yourself together (L/N). Stop acting like a stupid amateur.”

After a few minutes when your brain has cooled off from the information overload, Bruce decides he should take a DNA Test to prove you both are related

It comes out positive and you’re like damn

“So, if I’m your mom then who’s your dad?”

“I really shouldn’t say. Might mess up the time stream and what not.”

Damian scoffs and you’re like ‘Shit is this dumbass still here?’

“Nice to know that your stupidity isn’t hereditary, (Y/N).”

You go to bite back at him but Thomas speaks before you, “Wow, you were so mean when you were younger.”

And you’re like “Damian becomes nice in the future? Are you joking?”

“No, in fact in the future, we’re partners. I become Robin once Da—Damian becomes Batman.”

This is news to the both of you

Eventually the rest of the Batboys trickle into the Batcave to meet Thomas

He tells you all kinds of stories

“Hey mom, how come you weren’t on patrol tonight?”

And you’re like “Um, I’m not a vigilante.”

“Are you kidding? You become partners with Uncle Jason.”

Your eyes light up and you’re like “Don’t tell me, my name is Wolf.”

“Yeah exactly!”

And Jason is like “Why Wolf?”

And you point to him like “Cuz you’re Red Riding Hood.”

“You were the one who saved Da—Damian from a mind-controlled Uncle Jon.”

And then you’re like “haha hear that Demon brat? I save you.”

And this starts off your argument

Again

Everyone else rolls their eyes because they’re used to it

But Thomas is just sitting there shell shocked

Watching the two of you rip into each other

And calling each other every single name in the book

The others aren’t even bothered to try and break it up anymore

Dick usually tries to separate the two of you from getting into a physical fight

Cuz if you ever did get in a fight then it was clear who would win

But today he’s getting stitched up by Alfred in the back

Usually, your arguments end with someone breaking the two of you up

But today you’ve just about had enough of his attitude and before you even think you’re shoving him back

And he growls at you and raises his hand to punch you

Everyone’s a little slow to react because they don’t think that he’d actually hit you

Before anyone can do anything

Thomas is out of his seat and grabbing Damian’s fist just before he touches you

He pauses, wondering what to say

“How about we do some team building exercises? You two can paint together.”

And you’re like “Why would I want to do anything with this son of a bitch. Not sure if I mean Talia or Bruce”

Thomas is getting more antsy as you keep arguing

“But you really love painting together in the future!”

“Are you out of your mind? What could possibly make you think that we enjoy spending time together?”

“BECAUSE DAMIAN’S MY FATHER!”

“EXCUSE ME!?”

“My full name is Thomas Wayne. And I’m (Y/N) (L/N)’s and Damian Wayne’s son.”

It silent

Dead silent

Before Tim and Jason break into howls of laughter

They’re on the floor crying and you’re just looking extremely uncomfortable

“You’re lying right?”

“Actually, he isn’t.” Says Bruce, “The DNA test came as a match to Damian too. I just didn’t think I should say anything.”

“Why would you p—Jason would you stop laughing!!”

It takes a good whack to the head using Robin’s staff to get him to stop laughing

“So, you’re telling me that for whatever reason I had a kid in the future? With Damian of all people?!”

“Not just me. I have 2 younger siblings as well.”

Jason starts laughing again

“You both are married.”

“Like I would want to marry her ugly mug.”

“The feeling is likewise.”

“Look you both need to get over your petty differences and get married and have me. Because frankly, I’m the best thing to ever happen to the both of you.”

You spare a look at Damian, “That’s your son, alright.”

He just rolls his eyes at you

That night one of the speedsters, Wallace Allen, comes to the past to pick Thomas up

“You two better listen to me and sort out your issues okay?” He says while getting on Wally’s back

“Woah, is that your mom? She’s hot.”

“Ew, she’s my mom.”

And the two of them are gone

The teasing lasts a couple of weeks

The boys calling you the Wayne’s wherever you go

“There’s the happy couple.”

“Hey dames, where’s the missus?”

“You’ll name the second kid after me, right?”

And Damian is just like “I’ll gouge your eyes out while you sleep.”

You still see him as the annoying kid but something changes

Because of Thomas you’re trying to intentionally see some good in Damian

And it works briefly

Until you start arguing all over again

And then one day you’ve just about had enough of him again

“If you keep acting like this, I’m not gonna carry your kids!”

And Damian just freezes and starts blushing

Totally speechless

And you’re like damn I won

Using other mildly sexual lines like that to shut him down

The tension builds that way

Until one day Damian can sense one of those lines are gonna come out of your mouth and kisses you

“What? What are you doing?”

“Trying to ensure my title is protected.” He says between kisses

You snort, “Sure. Like kissing me is going to change whether you become Batman.”

He just smirks at you, “I meant my title as your husband.”

All the heat crawls up your neck and you can’t help but stare up at him speechlessly

He chuckles

“Looks like I finally found a way to shut you up.”

Before leading you to his room

And this is why Thomas never found out how you started dating
