Why Blitzø Likes Stolas
Tumblr media
I've made jokes about Blitzø liking Stolas bcuz his type is tall, rich, powerful demons with musical talent, and that's probably kinda true, but I wanna talk about the real reasons Blitzø likes Stolas. Tldr at the end.
I think one of the major reasons Blitzø likes Stolas is how kind, sincere, and affectionate he is. Stolas is always making sure he is okay and is very passionate about litterally everything he does (dramatic little bitch, lol). And while he's ignorant ("my impish little plaything"???), he does mean well. Taking Octavia to Looloo Land to make her feel better, Going full demon mode to save IMP, his attentiveness to Blitzø during his mental breakdown in Seeing Stars, him absolutely adoring Octavia, him helping Ozzie when he gained no real benefit, etc, etc.
Also, expanding more on the affectionate part, Blitzø is shown to not get much affection or love in his life at all. His family situation was a giant mess (his dad literally sold him for 5 bucks and a condom Jesus Christ-), and Stolas is a very loving and affectionate person. Obviously, this is shown with Blitzø, but also with Octavia ('my precious little starfire', always staying patient with Via, even if he can be a bit dismissive, going full demon mode when Blitzø said he lost Via), and even his plants (he raised the flesh-eating plant since he was a kid, he pets the plant, on his insta he called a puprle rose "a handsome little rose"). And yeah, he's going to be affectione with Via, that's his daughter, but in Hell, (or maybe just from Blitzø's perspective, it'a hard to tell honestly) that's shown to be a rarity. So obviously, he's going to admire that about him.
And also, compare that to Blitzø's life. His dad saw him as less than, something happened that made his sister hate him, his mom seemed to be a good parent, but she's dead, his best friend and former crush hated his guts for 15 years, his daughter does care about him but she also mostly just shows anger and annoyance with him, and even Moxxie, who'd I'd argue is his best friend, gets annoyed with him constantly (I would too tbh but this isn't about that). Stolas just being his loving and affectionate self and being so happy to see him and always being so sweet to Blitzø is like a breath of fresh air to him.
Another thing is that Stolas shows clear interest in the things he likes. Take horses as example, bcuz we all know Blitzø is obsessed with them. Most of the time, his friends are pretty passive about it, but Stolas actually indulges him. Some of this is from their instas, but Stolas got him a horse Hoodie, he draws horses with him, and Stolas even got inspired to draw because of Blitzø.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Also, plz note that in another post he commented that it smells like Stolas, and I want everyone to appreciate how happy he looks in this photo while smelling it again)
Blitzø probably admires Stolas's theatrics as well because despite growing up in a Circus where you were supposed to be dramatic and showy, he was still always taught to ignore or hide his true emotions (Cash ignoring that he didn't want to go to the Goetia Palace because "MONEY"). And while Stolas was raised the same way, he still wears his heart and emotions on his sleeve and is always showing them, whether it be positive or negative
And we all know thst Blitzø has major self hatred issues, but Stolas was genuinely interested in Blitzø as a person. Laughing at his jokes, asking how his day went, and with all of this, you can't help but wonder if Blitzø was figuring out that he did too. I think that's why he was so heartbroken about Ozzie's. Because to him, Stolas hiding his face was just proof that Stolas didn't care. That he was just a little plaything. But, Blitzø liked that Stolas liked him for who he was, and that he didn't have to pretend to be someone different.
Yes, ik Blitzø wasn't here for some of them, and he thinks that Stolas is just faking all of this. BUT, Blitzø can notice things subconsciously, and the stuff that Blitzø wasn't there for was to talk about Stolas's character as well. That's why I wanted to talk about this, to talk about what Blitzø sees in Stolas and his character.
Feel free to add anything if you want! I'd love to hear your guy's opinions, takes, and thoughts on the ship. I'm probably gonna a make a post on why Stolas likes Blitzø at some point, lol
Tldr; Blitzø likes Stolas because he's kind, sincere, loving, affectionate, passionate, caring, dramatic, and likes Blitzø for who he is.

Since everyone started voicing their grievances, one of the things that is so infuriating and straight up obtuse when it comes to d*ckb*abs fans is how they take the very valid and correct criticism Starfire fans point out when it comes to her misogynistic treatment at the hands of the bat editorial and they dismiss it all as a ship war. They reduce the whole conversation to “You are just petty that your ship is not canon anymore and ours is, move on and stop whining”. And this is not what is being pointed out at all! This is not what the criticism aims at!
What the conversation is truly about is how Batman writers could have VERY easily said “Kory is his ex-fiancée, Dick loved her very deeply and wanted a family and a future with her, but it sadly did not work as it sometimes happens even in real life, she will always be important to him” and leave it at that. It was that simple. That easy. But did they? No, of course not.
They literally embarked on a whole mission trying to minimize and ruin Kory as much as they possibly could. They not only erased her importance and her impact, they actively slutshamed her, tried to humiliate her and even villainize her. They made Bruce hateful and xenophobic towards her, they made Barbara make fun of her appearance, they tried to reduce her whole character to a dumb sex doll without feelings or intelligence or emotions. They literally treated Kory as if she was not a human (alien) being, but rather some fetish that the writers projected all their hatred onto. This woman who, mind you, was a victim of slavery and torture and sexual abuse.
Not to mention that hideous annual in which they tried to retconn even their original break up. For what purpose? They were already broken up. What was the point of it if not an attempt to hate on Kory one more time and sexualize her? What was the point in trying to retcon the love Dick had for her? The devotion and commitment? The only other character I can think of being treated so disgustingly simply because she is someone’s ex is Talia, and that is very telling.
All of those writers could have left Kory alone and write about their ship in peace and we would all not have this conversation today. But they actively included her and brought her up just because they hate her for being the love of Dick’s life.
The fact that after nearly 30 years their ugly ship that they so desperately pushed at Kory’s expense is still a huge flop with the general audience, while Starfire is more beloved and popular than ever, is pure karma and I will always be here for it.
☝️☝️☝️👏👏👏
Perfectly said. Sorry I have nothing more to add I just agree with all of this and you took the words outta my mouth!

Light-Bleed.
It was supposed to be another patrol.
Lux and her Illuminators were supposed to be the scouts. That was the point of the name! Illuminate where the threat was and then Garen's men would take care of it. To the Demacian commoner, they were a charitable order of pious men and women who gave charity to the poor and downtrodden, but they could hold their own if push came to shove. Of course, that was only until backup arrived... At least without Lux outing herself.
So when they realized the little mage camp they were supposed to scout out was the current acting base of the Sylas of Dregbourne, saying they were in over their head was the understatement of the century.
Care to imagine what happens when you send a closeted Demacian mage-noble to a camp with a guy whose main superpower is to literally detect and absorb magic...?
What happens, as Garen Crownguard would discover that day, was a massacre.
When the Mageseekers arrived, there weren't many enemies left to fight. Just the marks of a long pair of magical chains, lining the split remains of the members of his sister's squadron.
If you're an older sibling, you might be able to imagine a fraction of the fear that Garen felt. All these bodies, of Mages and Illuminators alike... They could have all been killed, but they'd fought to the last man... They'd actually forced a retreat from Sylas from his own base. For all intents and purposes, they'd won the day!
But they weren't here to celebrate. They weren't here to cheer and rejoice that that monster had one less foothold in their home... They were dead. Splintered. Chained to death.
And his sister was nowhere in sight.
There was never a more panicked man than Garen Crownguard as he was in that moment. His men could handle the stragglers. He immediately started looking for survivors, but the big brother in him really only looked for one.
He caught the little flash of light out of the corner of his eye. Dim as death, but it was there. And he started digging under a small mound of bodies, once men and women of the Shield, like himself. And below the remains of about ten dead Illuminators, barely clinging to life, with a cracked breastplate, and a bleeding out of her side, her hands aglow, agonizing, but alive, was his sister Lux.
He picked her up as gently as he could in the state she was in. She'd hidden under the bodies to live. Or had they hidden her in the end, even knowing what she was? Gods, she would hate herself for this forever... He would make sure every single one of them had a hero's burial. He tucked her hands close to his chest so nobody could see, and his men understood. They took one look at him and told him to go. Normally, he would be the one staying above everyone else... Since when do his men give him orders? But this was Lux, and if there was one thing that had been abundantly clear since he day Garen had become a member of the Dauntless Vanguard and of the Mageseekers, and all of the men and women under him knew it, was the unshakeable faith and insurmountable love the Lord Commander felt for his little sister, and her for him. The few people that knew them personally would swear upon the Spirits that Lux was the only real weakness Garen had. The only thing that could cause him true damage.
And now his sister was dying.
The Mageseekers knew two things for sure as they saw him carry his sister away, running to where he knew she would have leashed her horse, Starfire, to a tree far enough away from danger: The first was that the pain he was going through right now was the most broken they would ever see him.
The second was that the reckoning that would befall the man that had dared lay hands on his little sister would be so righteously terrible, so incredibly brutal and visceral, that the Protector herself would look away in disgust.
But right now, Garen was running... and he was panicking. His sister winced in pain and her hands lit up brighter. She was glowing! He couldn't take her back to the Garrison! They'd know! He couldn't-!
"B-brother..." She could barely form the word. "Star..."
"I know, Lux, I know! I'll get her! I'll get you! You're going to be fine, I swear!" He rounded the corner and indeed, there was Starfire, whining like crazy. There had to be someone he could take her to...! All the healers were under the Crown, and everyone that wasn't was not going to keep their mouth shut about a Mage noble! Who else, who else...?!
He got close to the horse and his sister put a weak, glowing hand to her nozzle and whispered a name between whimpers.
"Isha..."
The horse got it immediately. As soon as she was free and Garen and Lux were on top, she bolted faster than Garen had ever seen her. Isha...? Garen hadn't seen her since the talk they'd had on the balcony a few months back... But she and Lux were close. She already knew... Whether she could help...
He'd trust his sister.
If she thought Isha could save her, he'd put his faith in her too. He let Starfire guide him to the woods next to a little town he'd never heard of before. Into the woods she galloped, fast as lightning, and dodged what Garen would later know were small metal plates on the ground. Traps, for intruders that got too close. Star knew the pattern by heart now.
His sister's whole skin was glowing. No. Not glowing... Flickering. In and out and dimmer every time.
The mare stopped in front of a ramshackle hut in the middle of the woods. Garen didn't have time to appreciate the decor. He patted Star on the head and carried his sister off.
"ISHA!!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. "ISHA, SHE NEEDS YOU!"
He didn't hear the door unlock over his own heartbeat. The girl with the blue hair basically pushed the door down, her hand clutching something on her thigh.
"Garen? How did you-?" She managed. Then she saw her... Lux bleeding in her brother's arms, her glow wild and uncontrollable, barely clinging to life.
Her world came crumbling down all at once.
"Please..." Garen barely managed it.
That snapped her out of it. "Get her inside." She whispered, almost to herself, and then louder. "GET HER INSIDE, NOW!"
Whatever was on the main table was thrown to the side before Garen could lumber through the door. He put his sister there, in the middle of the room and gave Isha some space. At once, the raggedy woman started patching her up, taking whatever supplies she had on hand. And cleaning up the wounds.
"There's a lot of blood... I can't... There's gotta be SOMETHING!" She'd dressed the wounds and cleaned them up. She'd tried every ointment she could think of that would be safe and even removed pieces of metal from her wounds, but now Jinx was fully panicking. Lux was twitching on the table... What the hell could she do?! She'd not seen wounds this bad since... since...
"Stay awake, baby, stay with me!" The girl said, repeating it to both his sister and herself. Her hands moved so fast Garen couldn't keep track... He thought he saw a flash of purple as she moved from time to time, but that was probably him hallucinating out of stress. Little by little, a bunch of bandages and rags got tinted red...
Too red... Too much...! She could fix the lesser injuries but...
Oh. That's what she could do. What she and nobody else could.
She leaned over Lux's face. "Lux? I need you to listen to me... There's something I can do. And I don't know if it'll work, but if it does, it's going to hurt like hell. It's risky but it's all I've got, okay, love?"
Lux managed to lock eyes with her and Garen saw a softness - a love - he'd never seen in his sister before, even through the pain. She nodded. "Trust y-you..."
That was all Jinx needed to hear.
"I love you. Whatever happens, I love you, Luxanna." She kissed her like there was no tomorrow, and for a fraction of a second she was afraid there wouldn't be... "Garen, get her on the bed!" She said, and she ran to her workbench.
Garen didn't have to be told twice.
"I have you sister! I'm here, we're both here! We're not going anywhere!" He carried her to the room in the back and laid her on a comfy thatch bed. "What now?!"
Isha came into the room, rubbing a wet cotton furiously on her arm. "Now, you hold her down. This is going to be bad."
Then she pulled out a syringe and started drawing her own blood without a second of hesitation.
"What are you-?"
"My blood's not all normal. There's a drug in there that saved my life before. I'm hoping it saves her's too."
"Hoping?!"
"I'VE GOT NOTHING ELSE! YOU WANT HER TO LIVE OR NOT?!?!"
As she said it Garen could barely notice her eyes glowing, a small flash of purple, and then a brighter glow, not from her eyes, but from the syringe. A mix of crimson and neon purple that Garen could feel went against everything he once believed in... Blood Magic, in the most literal sense.
Isha got closer. "Okay, Lux, here goes. Whatever you see, it's not real. We love you!"
She stuck the syringe in the biggest wound she could find and pressed, trying for the life of her to focus on her job and not on Lux's screams of agony as the Shimmer entered her system.
Garen held her down on the bed as much as he could...
And then the lights went crazy.
One moment, her skin glowed like she was about to burst, a mix of gold and purple as gorgeous as it was terrifying. Her eyes, her hair, everything in the room changing colors wildly. The daytime seemed to turn off at one point. The sun outside looked blue, the shadows on the corners of the room felt brighter than any torch and the mirror reflected nothing but a black void where the light should have hit.
All throughout, Luxanna writhed in pain, and all throughout Jinx and Garen held her. And at some point, Jinx put a hand on Garen's shoulder, and he returned the gesture...
One last, massive scream of agony, Lux, lurching forward with almost enough force to push Garen off, and Jinx could swear she lifted a few feet off the bed, the light of her and Garen's own bodies dancing haywire as the Bright Lady fully lost control... and then...
Darkness. Pitch black darkness.
And little by little, the colors returned to the room. The right colors. Dimmer than before, but slowly returning regardless... Like the saturation was coming back to an old photograph.
Lux didn't move. Garen didn't move. He just held her, like a broken ragdoll he couldn't - he wouldn't - live without.
Isha didn't let go of Lux's hand as she sprawled herself and put her ear to her chest... Jinx had never prayed honestly in her life until now.
Nothing.
Nothing...!
Terrible, unreal nothing...!
.....
And then, faintly, weakly, almost imperceptibly, but there...
A heartbeat.
And now Jinx let the tears out.
"Oh, Lux!" She held her so tight she might've crushed her if she wasn't careful. "Oh, love, you really had us going there, honey! You'll be okay, you'll be okay...!"
She was alive. Garen looked at the gaping wound in her side and... He couldn't believe it. It was a small change, but the wound wasn't bleeding anymore! In fact it was... closing. Not super fast, but fast enough to notice.
His sister would live.
He finally allowed himself to breathe as he dropped on the corner of the room.
And very faintly, because his voice was still gone, he laughed. A nervous cry-laugh, like only a big brother could. And his tears began to dance in his eyes and off as well...
*****
It took a few minutes for them to catch their breath and Garen left the room to let Lux recover. He had taken off his armor. It had felt heavy for the first ever time today.
He sat on the couch outside the room in his slacks as Isha came out of the room, pacing.
"She's stable." She said. "Might not wake up for a while, but she'll live..." She had something folded over her shoulder...
She went over to her workbench and picked up a huge backpack and dragged it to the door. Then she sat on the floor, leaning on it.
Garen finally found his tongue.
"You saved her life." Whatever else he had to say would have to wait. That mattered the most. "Thank you."
She just gave him a look... He knew where she lived now. She thought that might be less of a problem than she might imagine, but time would tell...
"Who?" That's all she said. And from the venom in her voice, Garen knew exactly who she meant.
"Sylas of Dregbourne. I take it my sister told you who he is?" He didn't give a singular shit about protocol right now. Isha deserved to know.
"She's mentioned him." She'd done a hell of a lot more than mention him. Somedays, when they weren't... active at night, Lux would wake up in a cold sweat from a nightmare the memory of 'Sylas the Unshackled' had caused. "Where?"
"Near the Hinterlands. The border between them and Demacian civilization proper... Just a forward camp, though."
"It's enough." She got up and stormed into her room. She leaned down over the bed and gave Lux a soft kiss before turning to her nightstand and leaving a little contraption there. A tiny toy monkey with a pair of cymbals in its hands and a crank in its back.
She looked at her. Her Light. Her Lux. Barely alive, having survived an agony few but Jinx herself would ever know...
"What are you doing?" Garen asked as she left the room in a huff.
"When she wakes up, she's going to need you." She said. She was in a place she hadn't felt herself in in a long time. "When this happened to me, I started hallucinating. I lashed out. Couldn't think straight. God knows what that means for a girl with Magic at her fingertips. You might have to restrain her."
Garen didn't think she could be mad enough to try what he thought she was going to try.
"And where are you going?"
"Hunting." She answered, and she took out a giant... Godesses, what was that thing? It took Garen a minute to comprehend it. Eight metal tubes strapped together to a massive chamber with a handle and a trigger. Scattered paint littered its surface in intricate patterns. She opened the bag with one hand and fed a bunch of scrap metal where she kept the back of the contraption open with the other. An absolute metal abomination of a weapon. "He went too far. Never again. Stay with Lux. Don't go anywhere. More importantly, don't let her go anywhere. If it's anything like what happened to me, she'll try to leave. Hard."
"You can't just take on Sylas by yourself! He's got gods know how many mages guarding him at all times, and even if you could find him, he did that to Lux! Lux had Magic!" Garen was one to talk... Like he didn't want to go himself! But she had just saved Lux's life. He wasn't going to let her throw her own away!
"Exactly. Magic he would steal. Magic he could use. He's so used to fighting your way... He won't be ready for me." Another weapon left the backpack. A single tube this time, thick as hell, almost as long as Isha herself. A metal shark head adorned what Garen assumed to be the nozzle, painted in blue, pink and gold. "Nobody ever is."
He couldn't stop himself. He got up and grabbed her by the shoulders. "And when he kills you? When Lux wakes up and you're dead? What then?! Why save her life if you're just going to make living it miserable?!"
That actually gave her some pause. Good, some common sense! Finally!
"You got somebody, G?" She sounded different... Darker. She was hurting just as much as him. "Somebody you love? Not like you love your sister... Someone you would die for if it meant they got to be free for a day at least... Someone like that?"
"I do. She... Disappeared during the first revolt Sylas started. I haven't seen her since." Garen had to stop himself from wondering the worst.
"What's her name...?"
"Katarina."
"Sounds pretty." And Jinx got the tiniest smile from the Lord Commander. "If it was her on that bed, and I wasn't here to save her... If you knew who did it. Would you stay your hand?"
The thought alone made him sick to his core. "I KNOW who did it! And going at him like this is not the play! He knows how this works!"
"Sylas knows how you work, Garen. He'll be expecting Mageseekers and Illuminators. A grand show of force, scorched earth, the works. That's why I can do this and you can't. Because I don't need Mageseekers and Illuminators to burn everything to the ground. Because he can't plan for me."
"I won't let you." And he meant that shit. He admired the hell out of her now, but he would not let her be killed by that monster too.
"Lord Commander." She said as that purple glow came to her eyes brighter than ever. Those eyes that were like daggers. Bright, glowing daggers that stabbed deep into Garen's soul. There was a rage in those eyes he had never seen on a human before. "With all due respect... You don't have a choice."
And then she pushed him. Harder than he'd ever been pushed in his life. He'd fought the trolls of the Freljord one on one and he'd not been pushed that hard! He flew over the table and landed back on the couch, pure shock in his face.
He saw her in full now. Her veins glowed purple for a second, her eyes a rabid animal's. She unfolded the thing on her shoulder at last, a dusty, dark green hoodie with fangs at the rim, the inside lined with so many toothy grenades Garen couldn't count them all. She readjusted that contraption strapped to her thigh (because of course that was a weapon too) and lifted both of those insane machinations of hers in one hand each as she turned to face the door.
Still in shock, Garen could only form one question.
"Isha... Who are you?"
The girl at least graced him with an answer.
"Not Isha." She said as she pulled the toothy hood over her head. And she sounded like a demon. Garen would know. He'd fought demons. "My name is Jinx of Zaun. When Lux wakes up, ask her who that is."
And in a flash of purple, she was gone.
*****
Jinx unstrapped Starfire from her tree. The mare didn't whine or step back. She knew what time it was too.
"Take me there."
And Starfire did. She carried the Witch of the Woods, weapons and all, like it was nothing. Almost flying through meadows and forests, ever onwards towards the Hinterlands. Towards their prey. She thought of the kind of monster she was hunting....
And a voice in the back of her mind said "Kill", and Jinx didn't have to be told twice.

Sometimes I have this fear of being annoying like - completely out of nowhere , even when I was having a perfectly fine day : my brain begins to think about every little thing I said either online or in real life and how it might’ve made people uncomfortable , and being hit by so much anxiety without a warning can be pretty overwhelming ;( 
Thankfully though , ever since a certain skeleton came into my life I’ve started to imagine what he’d say to me in response to these ( often ) irrational worries of mine , and it’s really been helping me to rationalize them !
I can picture him saying stuff like this : 
“Wh - literally how could that have made anyone uncomfortable ? What you said was completely fine , and lemme tell ya , I think you were really great out there ! Anyone who disagrees can go f**k themselves !!”
“Y’know I’ve always admired how much you care about others , starfire … but don’t let that become something that makes you suffer : I don’t wanna see you beat yourself up because you feel like you didn’t meet everyone’s expectations … you also need to think about your happiness , not only theirs .”
Tumblr media
Jaw Bone’s confidence has definitely been slowly teaching me not to be so anxious when interacting with people , and honestly ? That’s a big result for me :D👍❣️
As cheesy as it may sound , JB has had such a positive influence in my life in so many ways … this guy is the best and I appreciate him very , very much ^^ 💚

Cyborg Appreciation!
+++ I'm still reading the New Teen Titans 80's run and I saw this and just wanted to share it! +++
Tumblr media Tumblr media
+++ I literally cried a little. 🥹 I love seeing stuff like this in comics. With all of the other B.S. in this comic (like the way they draw and talk about Starfire in the series to some of the other stuff) it's nice to see this. I love when comics show real life stuff and show how representation can be important. I'm also really loving Cyborg's story so far! +++

Rewatching Teen Titians Go! To The Movies again (i watched it 3 days ago) and this is literally DC’s Deadpool and Wolverine (and it came out first) so I’m gonna compare them while spoiling Deadpool and Wolverine the least amount possible
The “obscure” character references:
•Challengers of the Unknown
•The Atom
•“That is where the Animaniacs live” (not DC but still Warner Brothers sort of like Marvel and Disney)
•Literally almost everyone in the background of the movie theater scenes
Poking fun at their old movies:
“There was a Green Lantern movie, but we don’t talk about that one”
“My mommy’s name is Martha too”
“Shooting a baby into space what kind of people are you?” “You are the terrible parents!” (referring to superman’s biofamily) + Krypton being saved with EDM
“Golly thanks for taking me to the movies in this dangerous neighborhood, Dad” (Batman’s parents died in crime alley)
The themes of found family
•It’s repeated several times that without Robin, Beastboy would live in a dumpster, Starfire would have to fight in alien gladiator battles, Raven would have to enslave entire planets with her dad and Cyborg would have to play professional football (which he dislikes)
Referring to their characters as characters from the Marvel
“He should be saying he’s not me, I came out like way before him.” “Nah, I’m pretty sure you’re Deadpool.” (this is a whole scene btw and Slade’s intro)
Breaking the fourth wall:
•”Look into the camera and say something inappropriate” (again when calling Deathstroke Deadpool)
•”The prefect plot device”
•Stan Lee’s cameos
•”KIDS! ASK YOUR PARENTS WHERE BABIES COME FROM”
The Meta dancing/songs
•”You need a Upbeat Inspirational Song About Life”
•My Superhero Movie
•Previously mentioned EDM music
🚨🔔 ACTUAL SPOILERS FOR DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE BELOW BEWARE!!! 🔔🚨
The meta narratives are the main similarity however, in Deadpool and Wolverine the whole “anchor being” thing is just a joke about how Fox’s media company literally died because Hugh Jackman was no longer there to bring them in the big bucks. In Teen Titans Go! To The Movies the narrative is all about the Teen Titians (Go!) characters being too unserious to get a movie, a real complaint people have had since the inception of their show.
Plus Robin and Deadpool both have abandonment issues and low self worth, Robin has a weird Lion King dream where Batman drops him off a building after other superhero’s disapprove of Robin. Deadpool secretly worries that Vanessa doesn’t love him or something???
Also both have the two main villains turn out to be in cahoots in some way, in Deadpool it’s revealed that she works for the TVA, and in Teen Titians Go! To The Movies Slade and Jade Wilson are the same person

I haven't even watched the Titans show yet, but I've seen enough scenes on pinterest to know this Starfire is more accurate to the one in the COMICS, like her personality and hair, and people were and apparently still are mad that she doesn't have the same outfits as in the comics? Men hate when woman superheroes aren't designed to look "sexy" huh? Just like how some men were mad about how Captain Marvel looked in the movies (like Carol as Miss Marvel, just saying Captain cause that's what they said). I believe people were even mad about Wonder Woman not being "sexy" enough too? It's a live action, it's supposed to look like REAL LIFE! And come on, I thought we were done being mad that woman characters in media are "too covered up" or something. Titans is also literally rated MA, you can't compare it to Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go, cartoons geared more towards children. STARFIRE WAS ALWAYS THIS GIRLBOSS LEADER IN THE OLDER COMICS, THATS THE STARFIRE THEY CHOSE TO PORTRAY!
Also, I literally saw someone say "she's just not that attractive" about this Starfire.

OMG HI!! I JUST SAW YOU WERE DOING MATCH UPS SO CAN I REQUEST A PLATONIC AND ROMANTIC MASH UP?
okay so let me start with physical appearance, i’m 5’4, 95-ish pounds, indian (but im quite paler compared to others) my hair is around an inch past shoulder length and its dark and has a slight wave to it, my eyes are dark and i have long lashes. when it comes to what clothes i wear, it really just depends on how i feel that day, some days my outfits have that downtown esque vibe to them, or sometimes they’re just really girly and cute! or if im not feeling it ill just be wearing flare leggings and some hoodie i have, what im trying to say is my outfits reflect my mood.
a little more about me is, i’m a pisces, and from chicago, illinois. i am a kinesiology major and i am a competitive figure skater. some of my interests include anime (jujutsu kaisen, haikyuu, bluelock, yuri on ice, sk8 the infinity, and attack on titan), i love love loveee music and my favorite artists/bands include chase atlantic, arctic monkeys, taylor swift, gracie abrams, and laufey (ik it’s a bit basic but i love it), i love to draw whenever i have free time which is like never nowadays and i also like to read when i can, i would say im a fantasy and romance girl. im also very busy but make time when i can, i already mentioned this but i just wanna go a bit more in depth, but i am a competitive figure skater and have been one since i was 6 years old, figure skating is one of the biggest things about me and is quite literally my whole life!! and ofc i love dc comics and movies some of my fav characters being zatanna, nightwing, red robin, cass cain, and starfire. also for the romantic mashup i would like to mention i am straight! but for the platonic give me who ever you think is best!!

Victor Sage/Charles Victor Zsasz (The Question) -
Tumblr media
You were a recent recruit to the League and given your background as a competitive figure skater, your agility and precision in combat had already made an impression.
Diana - Wonder Woman - especially loved how you would incorporate skating moves into your fighting movies.
Batman - the lovely Brucie - assigned you to a recon mission with Victor, citing that your observational skills and ability to adapt to unpredictable situations would compliment his own investigative nature.
At first, Vic was skeptical.
He worked best alone - few people could keep up with his mind, let alone his conspiracy theories.
(It was true, Baskin Robins did have more than 31 flavors.)
~Reference~
But you surprised him.
You didn't scoff at his theories or dismiss his deductions; instead, you engaged, asked questions, and even challenged some of his conclusions with your own observations.
"Honestly, I would think that the Bigfoot species would travel in groups."
You found him fascinating - his ability to see patterns and hidden truths where others saw randomness intrigued you.
Plus, despite his deadpan delivery and seemingly detached demeanor, there was something oddly charming about his dry wit.
And let's all be real here, this cinnamon roll is neurodivergent.
You can't fight me on this.
(I love this man.)
(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
After the mission, you expected him to go back to treating you like another operative, but instead, he lingered, asked you about figure skating, your training regimen, and even your thoughts on music.
Albeit, awkwardly.
My boi...
Vic wasn't the easiest person to befriend, but you didn't mind.
He wasn't cold, just selective with his words and even more selective with who he let in.
The fact that he continued to talk to you at all meant something.
Your friendship consisted of quiet moments that spoke volumes.
Training together in near silence except for the sound of your breathing and the impact of fists against pads.
Late-night conversations where you challenged each other's perspectives, his logical mind meeting your more intuitive, emotionally-driven approach to the world.
You introduced him to some of your music, slipping your earbuds into his ears when you sat next to him in the Watchtower.
"Just listen," You'd say, watching for any reaction.
He claimed to be indifferent, but you caught him humming Arctic Monkeys under his breath once.
Turns out he is quite a good singer.
But you'd find out about that later.
He, in turn, introduced you to the art of seeing beyond the surface.
"Nothing is random." He once told you, watching the world go by from a rooftop. "Everything is connected. You just have to learn how to look."
He teaches you unconventional combat techniques, appreciating your fluid movements as a skater.
"You more differently from the others," He mused one day, "More calculated. More controlled."
You help him analyze cases, pouring over files late at night, sprawled out in his dimly lit room in the Watchtower.
You bring snacks, and he provides the cryptic insights.
He takes you to places hidden in plain sight - abandoned buildings, rooftops with the best views, underground tunnels.
"Every city has a secret," He would say, "Chicago must have plenty."
You love fantasy and romance, and though he pretends to be uninterested, you notice him flipping through pages when he thinks you're not looking.
He surprises you one day by quoting your favorite book quote back to you.
He will watch 'The Princess Bride' with you, he really likes that one.
The shift is subtle but undeniable.
He starts seeking you out more often, even when there's no mission.
You notice the way he lingers when you talk, how his sharp mind seems to slow down just a smidge when you're around.
You catch him watching you during training, his gaze unreadable - since his mask doesn't have physical features - but still-
It was intense.
When you asked him about it, he simply said, "Analyzing your technique." But his voice was quieter than usual.
He becomes protective in ways that aren't obvious but deeply felt.
He walks slightly ahead when you're in unfamiliar territory, his body an unspoken shield.
If you're injured in battle, he's the first to check on you - his hands steady, his voice calm, but his grip on you just a bit too firm.
He listens to you.
Really listens.
He's a great listener when it comes to people he likes.
To your rants about busy schedules, your passionate speeches about figure skating, the things you love, and the things you fear.
And slowly, he starts revealing pieces of himself, too.
Vic isn't a man of grand gestures or emotional speeches.
When he realizes how he feels about you, he doesn't panic - but he does hesitate.
Love is unpredictable, and he doesn't like unpredictable.
But you, you're different.
You fit into his world in a way he never expected.
And he liked it.
One night, after a particularly grueling mission, you're sitting next to him on a rooftop, exhausted but content.
He looks at you for a long moment before finally saying, "You make things... Less complicated."
You smiled, "I think that is one of the nicest things you've ever said to me."
He exhales as if gathering himself, "I don't say things I don't mean."
There's a beat of silence.
Then, softly, "I want this. Whatever this is."
And that's all it takes.
Late-night skateouts where you lean against him, the city lights reflecting in your eyes.
Quiet evenings where you sketch while he reads, content in each other's presence.
Him making you tea after training, his fingers grazing yours as he hands you the cup.
He never really says 'I love you' outright, but he shows it - in the way he memorizes your coffee order, in the way he always ensures you're safe, in the way his touch lingers just a moment longer than necessary.
Mornings where he watches you get ready, fascinated by how your outfit changes with your mood.
You're dragging him to the ice rink, making him attempt to skate.
He's stiff at first, overanalyzing every movement, but you guide him, your hands on his as you laugh.
He doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, but he buys your favorite treats without thinking.
Teach you how to disappear from surveillance if you ever need to.
Memorize every detail about your routine, so he always knows where to find you if something bad happens.
Challenge him when he gets too lost in his own head.
Remind him that not everything is a mystery to be solved - some things are just meant to be felt.
Love him patiently, knowing he’s still learning how to let someone in.
You tugging on his tie when you kiss him.
Him pressing a hand to the small of your back absentmindedly.
You slipping love notes into his coat pocket, which he secretly keeps.
Him tracing patterns on your skin when you’re half-asleep, murmuring things he’d rarely say when you’re awake.
Victor Sage isn’t the kind of man who falls easily.
But when he does, it’s with quiet certainty.
And with you, it’s not just about unraveling mysteries - it’s about discovering something worth holding onto.
Definitely, that meme where it says 'me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic.'
*Dreamy sigh*
And yes, you do see his face :)

Zatanna Zatara -
Tumblr media
You officially met Zatanna after your induction into the Justice League.
You had heard of her before - who hasn’t? - but nothing quite prepared you for her effortless charm and dazzling magic.
She found out about your figure skating background within minutes of meeting you, and she was immediately intrigued.
"So you glide across ice as smoothly as I levitate? Interesting."
It wasn’t long before you two were talking about the intersection of magic and movement.
She compared her spellcasting to your performances, noting how both required precision, artistry, and a deep connection to one's body.
From the start, Zatanna was drawn to your Pisces energy - that quiet but dreamy confidence, the way you could be both determined and soft-spoken.
She found your creative mind refreshing in the often rigid world of superheroes.
She took it upon herself to help you adjust to League life, making sure you weren’t overwhelmed by all the chaos.
Anytime the pressure got too intense, she’d teleport you away for a quick “mental reset” with tea and a chat.
Your schedules rarely aligned, but that didn’t stop your friendship.
If she was on a mission, she’d leave you little magical notes (sometimes floating in midair) to check-in.
"Remember to breathe, ice queen. Also, your boyfriend is being cryptic again. Do you have a Question decoder ring?"
She enchants your skates once, just for fun, allowing them to glide over any surface without causing any damage.
Think of all the places you could skate.
Skating down the hall.
Skating to meetings.
Great, now you'll never take those skates off.
You may or may not have skated across the Watchtower’s floors until Batman told you to stop.
(You never stopped skating on the floors, however.)
Zatanna is the queen of self-care, and she insists you take breaks.
Expect spa nights with enchanted facemasks that smell like vanilla and starlight.
She adores your style!
Whether you're in a sleek downtown look or something soft and romantic, she always hypes you up.
She even magics you into stunning vintage-inspired dresses when you’re in the mood for something elegant.
She finds your relationship with Victor hilarious - you, graceful and expressive; him, mysterious and intense.
She often teases you; “What’s it like dating a walking conspiracy theory?”
You both love romance and fantasy, so she magically copies any book you’re reading and reads along with you.
Then you exchange dramatic voice messages at 2 AM when something major happens.
Zatanna respects Vic's intelligence, but she also thinks he needs to relax.
She once cast a temporary “chill” spell on him when he got too deep into a conspiracy theory.
He was not amused.
If she senses that Vic isn’t vocalizing his feelings enough, she subtly helps.
“You know, Vic, boyfriends compliment their partners. Maybe start with ‘your girlfriend is breathtaking’ and go from there.”
Vic then gets all awkward, before just walking away.
But rest assured!
He will talk to you later that night and say that he does find you breathtaking; hoping that his abrupt leaving didn't offend you.
She enchants your skates to help reduce strain on your body after an intense competition.
If you get injured, she uses minor spells to ease pain or speed up healing (within reason).
She knows how much pressure competitive sports and hero work put on you, so she teaches you meditative magic to help clear your mind.
You are the artistic, disciplined skater; she is the whimsical, enchanting magician - together, you create a friendship that balances grace and wonder.

Fist to Fist Heart to Heart
Robin watched as Beast Boy struggled to push himself off the floor, arms shaking as his muscles threatened to give out from his own below-average weight. The final strike had literally knocked the changeling off his feet, just as it had the past dozen times. The leader watched as Beast Boy staggered back to his feet, clumsily trying to regain his fighting stance. Robin really wanted to call a break for the changeling. They’d been at this for forty minutes and Beast Boy had taken quite the beating… But the green teen had made it abundantly clear that he wanted to master hand to hand combat, no matter what. He was determined and Robin could appreciate that. He wasn’t about to give up on his friend. “Come on, Beast Boy! Let’s go again! Put your all into this one!” The changeling swayed on his feet, having trouble getting his head on straight as he gave his most passionate, but weakened, “Yes, sir!”
Robin’s entire body froze at this simple title. It was one thing when Beast Boy called him that in the beginning, just a young teen fresh off the Doom Patrol and finding his way. It was a totally different situation for him to use it now. The last time Beast Boy had called someone sir was when he had been addressing his former leader, Mento. Mento… the man who was willing to sacrifice his team with minimal effort, the man who scolded Beast Boy for rescuing his family and friends, the man who was just all around wretched to the teen. ...Beast Boy was reminded of him during their training? “Are you okay, sir?” the changeling asked as he wobbled, soon shaking his head to get his thoughts in order and correcting himself with, “I mean Robin. Are you okay, Robin?” “Uh, yeah,” the leader replied as he held a hand to his head. “Just feeling a bit… off. Let’s call a break for now.” “You sure?” Beast Boy nearly slapped himself for asking that! He needed a break too, even if he wanted to master this. He was desperate to prove himself capable, not let Robin down, and to have things change for the better in his life for once. “Yeah,” Robin replied, staring ahead blankly. “Let’s just get some rest and refuel.” “...Kay,” the changeling agreed, following Robin to the kitchen. He knew something was wrong. Robin rarely admitted to illness or pain. Either Robin had a serious injury he was hiding or he had just pissed his leader off big time.
A silence hung in the air as the two prepared their drinks and snack; some veggies and hummus with a glass of water for Beast Boy and some jerky with a protein shake for Robin… Perhaps the changeling should look into some protein shakes himself; vegan ones, of course… The thought didn’t stay with him for long as he busied himself with eating. Even with the crunching of carrots and the snap of jerky, it was just too quiet for the green teen. He was ultimately dragged back to his worry for Robin. Something just wasn’t right. “Look, if I disappointed you, I’m sorry. I know I keep flubbing up the combat thing, but I really am trying. Please don’t give up on me. I swear I’ll get it!” “I won’t give up on you,” Robin muttered in mild offense while attempting to look nonplussed. Beast Boy’s ears drooped. “Seriously, what’s wrong?” “Noth-” Robin cut himself off as he thought back on his conversations with Starfire. Ever since they’d become a couple, she’d been encouraging him to be more open with his emotions, to not be so reclusive. The leader took a deep breath and let it out. “It’s nothing big. You just called me sir… like you did with Mento.” The changeling raised a brow, cocking his head as he tried to register what about that had put Robin off just so much. “Don’t take this the wrong way, Beast Boy, but I just don’t think he’s the best leader.” It took a moment for the green teen to think things over. Did Robin think he was a better leader than Mento?… Well, he was. He couldn’t argue that. Still, why was it such a big deal? “Mento was a real jerk to you.” “Oh!” Beast Boy perked up as the gears clicked into place. “Well, kinda, yeah. But don’t worry about that,” the green teen smiled widely. “You are nothing like that. When you push me, it’s because you want me to be the best I can be; not because I have to prove myself worthy of the team or you think I’m not good enough. You’re nothing like Mento, I don’t have to wait for the planets to align to get encouragement from you!” While Beast Boy laughed genuinely, Robin’s smile was less so. The leader was relieved that he wasn’t some sort of repeated trauma for the green teen, but he was still worried about what his friend went through. Though Beast Boy spoke of it so casually, Robin knew the trauma was still there. “Well, good to know I’m a decent leader to you, even if the bar was set pretty low,” he joked.
“You’re not just my leader; you’re my friend,” the changeling beamed. “My bud, my pal, my comrade, mi amigo!” Robin let out a slight chuckle, loosening up a bit. “Yeah, I know we can get on each other’s nerves sometimes, but we’re really not that different, you and I.” “Who are you; Dr. Evil?” Beast Boy cackled. “Seriously though, how are we alike?” Robin’s smile fell as he realized the can of worms he’d just opened with his comment. He really didn’t want to answer, but damn it, he needed to! It’s what Starfire would want and Beast Boy deserved a heart to heart for once. He was always treated as a joke, but he was so much more than that. Robin let out a breath with a “poof” sound. “Can’t think of anything, can ya?” Beast Boy laughed. “I can… It’s just that some of it is kind of… heavy stuff.” “Oh,” the changeling’s ears drooped once more. “How bad is it?” “How about you just stop me if it gets to be too much?” Robin offered. With a nod from Beast Boy, the leader continued. “When we first came together to form the Teen Titans, I still found myself following in Batman’s footsteps. I wanted to separate myself from him, at the time, but his training was going to be with me no matter what. Kind of like how you were still acting like Mento’s soldier when we first met.” Huh. He hadn’t thought of it that way. Curiosity piqued, Beast Boy leaned forward to listen more intently, folding his hands to rest his chin on them. “Well, like Batman, I did my research. I looked up every bit of information I could get on all of you. I wanted to know who I was teaming up with, what I would have to worry about if you ever turned against me…” “We would never-” Beast Boy started before changing his mind. “Well, when you were working for Slade…” “Yeah. I don’t blame you for that. In fact, I’m glad you turned against me. It showed you all would fight for what’s right, not just what I want.” “Nothing like Mento,” the green teen grinned. Robin chuckled slightly. “Anyway, I learned about what made you and Cyborg the heroes you are. I couldn’t find anything on Starfire or Raven because they had no records on Earth, but you…”
Beast Boy frowned, not sure he wanted to hear his past out of Robin’s mouth. He didn’t really want people to know that much about him, but if someone was going to know, he’d be the one to tell the story. “My parents were biologists,” the changeling started. “I got sick with the Sakutia Virus and the only way my parents were able to cure me was with some science-y mix of animal stuff that turned me green and let me shape shift.” Robin nodded as Beast Boy spoke. He knew this already. But it was really his friend’s story to tell, rather than learning through the research he’d done. There was a flood… and a waterfall… I couldn’t save them. It’s all my fault! I had my powers! I should have-” the changeling put his head in his hands. “Hey,” Robin reached out, putting a hand on his friend’s shoulder. “You were young. You couldn’t have done anything. It wasn’t your fault. You couldn’t control a natural disaster.” Beast Boy lifted his head. “But I had my super powers. I should have been able to-” “Believe me; I know what it’s like. My parents and I were acrobats. I knew someone had sabotaged the equipment, but I couldn’t stop my parents before they did their trapeze act and fell to the ground below.” Beast Boy looked at Robin with tired eyes and gave him a quiet, “I’m sorry.” “I am too,” Robin removed his hand from the changeling’s shoulder. “Neither of us could have done anything, but we still blame ourselves. It’s hard. We try no to think about it, but we don’t want to forget them either…” “Yeah,” Beast Boy sighed. “I guess we do have stuff in common.” “Not to mention we were both taken in by super rich superheroes,” Robin added. “Did you have trouble finding your way around the manor at first too?” Beast Boy smiled a bit. “You mean like trying to find the bathroom in the middle of the night?” the leader smirked. “Ha! Yeah! Talk about a nightmare… Someone help me! I have to pee and I don’t know where I am!” The two erupted into laughter. “Riddler’s labyrinth had nothing on Wayne Manor!” “Maybe Dayton Manor was built on an ancient sacred corn maze!” The two laughed louder this time, finding each other genuinely funny.
“Man, I’m on a roll today!” Beast Boy beamed. “Yeah! Now let’s keep that rolling into training!” Robin encouraged. The changeling nodded, feeling more confident with this interaction. --- “Okay, remember what I taught you,” Robin instructed, fighting stance engaged as he eyed Beast Boy from across the training grounds. Beast Boy gave a determined nod. “Brace for impact, but don’t tense up, let the momentum carry me forward…” “Aren’t you forgetting something?” The changeling raised a brow. “Telling yourself you got this!” Robin grinned. “I got this!” Beast Boy beamed. “Go!” Robin shouted, the two sprinting towards each other to begin the sequence again. Robin began by dropping down for a sliding kick to Beast Boy’s legs, only for the changeling to leap well above him to dodge. Quick to his feet, the leader threw a punch, only for the other to whirl around and catch his fist in his hand. Another fist, another catch. With both Robin’s fists in Beast Boy’s hands, the changeling reared his head back and swung it forward in a powerful headbutt, stopping just before making contact to avoid any brain injuries during training. Even so, Robin recoiled with a hand to his hand, playing the role of a dazed opponent. Beast Boy used the opportunity to shove Robin, who started to fall backwards, but turned the action into several backwards flips and put a good distance between them. This was it… Robin smirked and launched forward, leaping at Beast Boy with his leg outstretched, The changeling took him on in one swift motion, catching his leg and spinning with his momentum, sending the leader flying as he let go. “Yes!” Beast Boy cheered as his leader flipped in the air, landing on his feet. “I did it!” “You did!” Robin confirmed, giving him a light round of applause. Things were silent a moment as the two caught their breath. “So… you wanna go again?” Robin smirked. “You know it!” Beast Boy grinned, taking a fighting stance once more.

You said one of your reasons you hc kory as autistic is because she misses a lot social cues , but that’s literally bc she’s experiencing culture shock , since she’s from another galaxy.
At least, that’s how I see it. When I first started watch TT05 , I resonated with starfire for thst very reason. We were both teen girls who were navigating a very strange America ( I moved to NY when I was 13, originally from Argentina)
To clarify: I hc MAR’I is autistic
With Starfire in the TT03 series, I get that she was from another planet. But as a, y’know, 5,6,7 year old kid, all I was seeing was her not understanding social cues and asking questions and having an odd speech pattern.
The same things that, again, at that time, I was doing and was often PUNISHED for doing. I was projecting a lot of my frustrations onto her, but I didnt have the words for that. Mostly because I couldn’t understand why people in her life were so patient with her while I was often yelled at.
Also, fun fact—my autism is a trait from my father, which if I’m not mistaken, is usually the case. And let’s be real Dick Grayson is one of the most AuDHD people in the world

Nightwing: Brothers in Soul
That one is maybe my favourite. It's a rewrite of Brothers in Blood!
Dick and Jason both vividly crash out centered around a bodyswap plot. At the beginning, Dick confiscates a bodyswapping artefact from a villain who wanted to steal his body; but he keeps it with him, and finds the idea of not having to exist under his skin is luring him in kinda like a siren song.
Jason, having a splitting episode, dresses up as Nightwing and kills people (not more violently that his usual MO; it's very important to me that you understand that he dresses up as Dick because of his mental illness, but he kills people because he thinks this is the right thing to do. These are two different courses of action.) Dick, who is struggling with the aftermath of Catalina and Chemo, basically enforces a bodyswap between them, telling him that he can have Dick Grayson so long as he leaves Nightwing alone in a dramatic scene in Dick's bathroom with a bunch of mirrors.
The deal works for a while, with plot happening (Dick gets kidnapped Jason gets the titans to help etc etc), they learn stuff about eachother: Jason learns that there is something deeply wrong with Dick going on rn, Dick realizes how isolated Jason is from the hero community when his friends come rescue him after he gets kidnapped and Jason calls them for help but they get mad when they think they've been manipulated by Jason to save him (since Dick is in Jason's body).
But then Jason breaks the deal by going after a child trafficker villain, so Dick comes after him. There's a big confrontation in a room full of mirrors and shattered glass, they fight the trafficker, Dick stops Jason from killing him, they fight, Jason tries to kill himself in Dick's body, Dick literally reclaims his body by screaming "Give me back my body", Jason gets shot (non-fatally) saving Dick's life, Dick is shocked by the sight of Jason's blood and they both have a breakdown in which Dick rests his head on Jason's collarbone while they both hold eachother up kneeling under a well of light in the room full of mirrors and shards, and Dick finally is the first person to tell Jason that he's happy to come back to life.
The Outlaws
Jason finds himself with Roy and Kory in a good version of the Outlaws (my ambition knows no limit.) In which the Outlaws build themselves a sweet, but unstable balance.
They meet at a cult that claims to have magic to bring people back to life: Roy is desperate for a way to bring Lian back to life (I promise he succeeds later on don't worry I wouldn't do this to her), Jason hopes to understand how he came back. Neither of them are trusting the cult but they think it's worth investigating in case there's a part of truth. Roy and Jason meet and recognize each other (from Dick, and from Jason's stunt in the NTT) and decide to work together. It turns out the cult was using mind control magic to trap people into dreams where their loved ones are alive to keep them docile and sell them into interstellar trafficking, which is what Kori has been investigating! The first Starfire visual in the comic in my head are so sick lmao I wish I could draw, the main idea for her design here is for her to have super long curly hair that looks like it's on fire and drags after her as she walks lower and lower into a dark tunnel and it looks like she's dragging a trail of fire behind her the way people leave trails of blood, but incandescent. She's also scary because she's furious and her eyes glow. At some point she melts iron with her hand to open a locked door. At some point, Jason almost gets sacrificed on an altar because I say so. Jason and Roy during an escape scene are in a tunnel and have a real Orpheus and Eurydice moment where Roy is under the influence of the spell and thinks Jason is Lian, but then he turns around and Lian is still dead, it's just Jason. Also before the beginning of the story Roy has lost an arm and uses a neck brace to fire his bow.
They stick around as a team afterwards in a fragile balance, with an element of Roy and Kory being mentor figures for Jason, him learning how teams work.
All of this come crashing down in an arc called Star Collapse in which Kory stops a solar-powered bomb by throwing herself on top of it and absorbing its entire power. Kori's powers get enhanced (she's like, even more OP than before) and uncontrollable and emotion-sensitive and she struggles with repressing her emotions, including her anger. Eventually in a fight she accidentally releases an explosion that injures the other two severely and then leaves for space to find a way to control her new powers. Kory leaving triggers Jason's and Roy's fear of abandonment and Roy relapses and ODs, Jason gives him narcan but is severely fucked up over it and then Roy leaves for the Sanctuary (which does not get destroyed by mass slaughter thank you very much). The last visuals are Jason, alone, shoulders hunched, walking back to Gotham; Roy's back as he walks into the Sanctuary, fist shaking, in the setting sun, and tries to hype himself up that it'll be alright; and Kory floating in space watching the fire of her powers swirling around her and the light reflecting on her face.
Batman: Battle for the Cowl
What best moment for Bruce to die than right now? Hehehe
This one I'm not gonna develop cause I'm working on it right now, no spoilers!
Please do tell us about your literal head canon. I’m so interested. I’ve seen your post on what Outlaws should be, but please let us dive further!
So for a moment there I thought you were talking about that joke I once made about giving the canon head and was very confused lmao.
That being said, wrt the canon that exists in my head (aka complete rewrite of Jason's Red Hood run but I'm head of dc editorial): with pleasure! This should also help understand the context of the fic I'm writing rn!
Glitter's complete Jason Todd Head canon (the canon that is in my head)
Batman and Robin 2025, Batgirl and Robin, Nightwing Annual
> First there's the Extended Robin Run: this one I won't spoil because I'm actively working on writing it and it's not necessary to understand the continuity: it's a bunch of jaybin stories intended to fit into Jason's post-crisis robin run and develop it, give it cohesion while also exploring themes such as class consciousness, trauma, mental illness etc. It's not related to the rest of the continuity in so that it's meant to be understood as an expansion of canon rather than a replacement of it, but I do like to think there's a logical continuity between this one and the stories/themes/idea in the Red Hood rewrite so I think it's worth mentioning.
Now onto the meat of it. I do wanna say first thing first, I don't like the ambiguity around Jason's age in the og Batman Annual/Lost Days storyline and the way it seems to serve some psychoanalytical/psychophobic plots, and the whole point of the rewrite is a big fuck you to DC's bias and attempts at manipulating our empathy. Ergo: Jason crawls out of his grave three years later than he does in canon and is sixteen at the time he comes back to Gotham.
Batman: Antigonish
The UTH. Often from Bruce's perspective, lots of Edgar Allan Poe references. Also lots of disguise fuckery. Because Jason looks and is so young, and mostly because I like it, we're leaning fully into the horror genre. Jason, crucially, is not a crime lord in this one.
The main plot points:
> Jason, in disguise, visits Judy Koslovksy in prison (she had actually been convicted after the canon events of The Dumpster Slasher) and tells her to get in contact with her lawyer. Jason then steals evidence, leading to Judy winning her appeal and getting out.
> Jason begins a campaign to demonstrate that Bruce's campaign of ruling through fear cannot work if he never kills anyone ever. To do so, he targets several people who he believes are 1) key players into systems of oppression/mass violence and/or 2) criminals who he thinks are never gonna change their ways and deserve to die for the horror of their crime. Amongst these targets are (amongst others) Black Mask, an extremely corrupt and wealthy politician, and the cop who sexually abused Jason as a child (this one is implied rather than developed because we'll address it properly in its own time, which we get to do because I'm the head of dc editorial). To start his campaign of terror, Jason adopts the identity of the Red Death and sends several unnerving threats to his targets urging them to quit their activities (leaving bloody handprints on their doors, burning stuff down etc). Jason goes after his victims covering himself completely in blood and gore from the slaughterhouse he keeps breaking into, and makes a ghastly apparition. Jason's game doesn't scare the targets (at least not at first not before the first victim) so he goes after them to kill them. He also sends messages/hints/general psychological fuckery to Bruce about his death, actively haunting him.
> Jason's murder always have a veneer of legitimate self-defense, always make it seem like hey the bad guy did it to himself he could have just not tried to attack Jason with a knife Jason just accidentally diverted that knife in their throat, etc. There's a criticism of the pointlessness and hypocrisy of Bruce's line in Jason's eyes, with lots of references to Starlin's Bruce's deadliest moments (ie locking someone in a room in the subway to die).
> Because this is right after Steph's death and "Who killed Stephanie Brown", Jason is haunted by a hallucination of Stephbin who follows him as an incarnation of his rage and guilt. She is in the robin suit and despite Jason having seen pictures of her he can never recall her face, her image looks like someone has smudged black sharpie all over her face.
> Black Mask, having seen what Jason did to his other targets, eventually flees Gotham after Jason cuts him off from his support and sends a rocket into his building, almost exploding him. From Bruce's perspective, this is evidence that fear>death does in fact win, a reasoning we're meant to find flawed (// Bruce's reasoning about Felipe in Diplomat's Son).
> Jason may be a killer, but he's far from cold-blooded about it (yet). After he goes after his last target and ends up fighting on a balcony in front of roadwork, the villain tries to push Jason into the roadwork down the street; Jason defends himself but ends up accidentally pushing the man and watches him die a painful, horrifying death in some kind of press, a much more gory and terrible death than originally planned.
> Having retraumatized himself, Jason cries on the balcony, the rain washing the gore off his face, and then picks up a red hood/mask get-up and assumes the identity of the Red Hood to go to Arkham and kill Joker, knowing that Bruce will follow him there.
> The confrontation happens like in canon (oh Bludhaven also explodes) but without explosives because I can't bomb Arkham. Bruce sends the batarang through Jason's neck and he clamps on it, starting to bleed out; but before anybody can do anything, Judy shoots the Joker dead with the phone Bruce discarded, revealing that she'd been tracking Jason to repay a debt and also that she did Gotham and humanity a favour. Bruce hesitates, Judy claims that this time, she won't be condemned for sure, and that Jason is bleeding: if Bruce goes after her, surely he will die. Bruce hesitates but goes after her and arrests her. When he comes back, the Joker's body has been taken by an Arkham guard and burnt, there's a large, large puddle of blood on the floor and Jason is gone.
Nightwing: Ash to Ash
This one I need to flesh out much more but basically, Jason, dissociating, walks to Bludhaven (which just exploded) and finds a dissociating, suicidal Nightwing. Ensues a comedy of horror where both end up convinced Jason is dead and his ghost is haunting Dick, with classics such as Dick telling Jason to go away and stop haunting him, Jason almost jumping off the roof, Dick hauling him up and begging him not to leave him, nobody being okay enough to wonder why Dick was able to haul the incorporeal ghost up the ledge and some kind of weird "you don't die and I don't die/leave" pact with your ghost dead brother who's not actually dead. In the end, Dick is a little more stable and Jason decides he doesn't need him haunting him anymore and leaves; Dick wakes up and calls one of his friends and finds evidence/realizes that Jason was actually alive the whole time and not just a hallucination but it's too late, Jason is gone. Dick is the one to inform the hero community that Jason is back, but is in crisis/need of help. Idk if it's shown here since this is Dick's POV, but Jason is also absolutely still hallucinating Steph.
Green Arrow: Double Red Daisies
Seeing Red rewrite! Again, not extraordinarily fleshed out, but the idea is that I wanna keep the parallels and Mia's story, the fact that this is foremost a Mia story where she views Jason as a dark mirror she's terrified of becoming, and the contrast between Oliver and Bruce's parenting, while also pushing the reader to feel empathy for Jason/highlighting his, arguably pretty valid, point about teenage sidekicks. In this one, the reference to Jason's csa backstory is explicit and not open to interpretation. At the end, having been thoroughly rejected by Mia and her conviction that she'll never be like him, Jason leaves.
Red Hood: The Hourglass
Voluntary time-loop time! A mini where Jason finds a time machine and attempts to solve his death/relationship to Bruce/be saved in time/save his mother (Catherine)/save his mother (Sheila) and restarts the time-loop again and again and again. The point is the heartbreaking realisation that you can't fix trauma, you can never save anyone, it already happened, you're never going to have been saved. However it turns out this isn't a time machine but some kind of dream/stasis machine. In the end, someone (Black Canary) ends up freeing Jason under Barbara's lead; it's revealed she's monitored his comeback but cannot bring herself to approach him.
And at the end, training montage! Jason thinks back on everything and decides he was fucked because his hands shake when he holds a gun since the events of Antigonish, so he practices again and again to become more cold-blooded, convinced this is the only way to survive. We are officially entering Red Hood's most ruthless era.
Red Hood: War Hounds
Jason voluntarily enters an illegal fighting ring (dog fight symbolism be upon ye) lying that he is 15 and portrays himself as super vulnerable, and successfully catches the eye of the child trafficking ring he's been tracking due to its ties with Black Mask (who has continued its activities outside of Gotham after Antigonish, surprise surprise). Jason is then sent to a facility that attempts to train child soldier, where he is the oldest, older than their recruitment age. There, the children are trained for combat and murder, and the staff uses torture to "break them". Jason meets and protects the oldest of the kids, a ten years old red head girl called Sasha. She calls him out on some self-destructive behaviour and he replies he has nothing to live for. A couple of Jason torture sequences later, he sneaks into an office and steals intel of their communication with Black Mask. He sends Black Mask false info while pretending to be the head of the ring, then steals a chess piece from the chessboard. He then rescues the kids, going through the facility in a one-man army and either killing or locking anyone he meets up. He tells the children to run, and then goes back to set the whole facility on fire (yes, with all the people inside it; I did say it was the ruthless era.) When he comes back, Sasha is watching the fire and tells him she wants to be like him. He tells her not to and she tells him he was wrong about having nothing to live for because he fights like a survivor.
Batman: Hour of the Mask
Very chess-themed!Jason's plan for torturing and. killing Black Mask goes awry when it turns out Steph is alive. Between Steph finding out about what happened, Black Mask thirsty for vengeance, a righteous Batman and a furious Selina,
Jason, with Batman hot on his heels, still manages to kidnap Black Mask and is found by Steph first; finding out then and there that she is alive, he pivots to offering to kill him for her or letting her do it if she wants; she hesitates but can't bring herself to do it or let Jason do it. They are interrupted by Selina, who decides actually, she wants to be the one killing him for what he did to her family. To give her time, Jason surrenders himself to Batman, smiling even as he kneels with his head behind his head and is taken to Blackgate, looking very much like the cat that got the canary.
Red Devil #16-17: Sympathy for the Devil
Jason escapes Blackgate by poisoning the food of a whole lot bunch of rapists, child abusers and human traffickers (how he managed to do that selectively is future me's problem). He then comes to help Eddie Bloomberg who is struggling with something, but does so in disguise, under an anonymous identity. The two have intense chemistry, they're both such yearners. Despite Jason's acknowledgement that he is a person from Eddie's past and refusal to confess to who he is, they end up kissing about it (well, Eddie kisses Jason's mask) and then Jason ties a scarf again Eddie's eyes and gives him the mother of all blowjobs. At the end of the story, Eddie finds himself in love with this stranger from his past, and Jason realizes that his childhood crush never went away and finds himself in love with Eddie, and thus decides to leave him because he's decided that's something too precious to ruin and he won't be able to take it when Eddie finds out who he has become and abandons him.
Red Hood: Ash Wednesday
Lost Days rewrite! (Taking a page out of Winick's book and putting this flashback mini right after Jason's most brutal crimes to bring back empathy for the character and remind the reader of how young he is to be doing such things). A whole bunch of horror elements in that one too!
We see over the course of the year a progression of a freshly resurrected Jason from his jaybin era to developing his philosophy in Antigonish. This arc has no psychoanalysis, no Talia character assassination (idfc about Death and the Maidens and you can't make me), issue titles are a bunch of "First" because it does follow a teenage/child development/coming of age structure, ie First Steps, First etc. and the last one: First Kill. We also see Rena for the first time since the Jaybin era! She's back in Gotham for college and trying to uncover Jason's grave by washing all the dirty/abandoned/unreadable tombstones in all the cemeteries in Gotham. She started this work as at fifteen but had to leave because of her dad's work and promised Jason she'd come back someday. The panel of her leaving the cemetery in the evening, hands covered in dirt and exhausted, is of course immediately followed by Jason, an alley after the one she was working on, crawling out of his grave alone that night.

Roy Harper when his Future child comes to the Present
Tumblr media
Dick Grayson Ver. | Jason Todd Ver. | Tim Drake Ver. | Damian Wayne Ver.  | Bruce Wayne Ver.
Conner Kent Ver. | Wally West Ver.| Artemis Crock Ver.
A/N: And by very very VERY popular demand, I give you Roy Harper! I really really REALLY loved the storyline for this one so I really hope you enjoy it!
You and Roy were introduced through Jason
You were with Jason and Starfire when you went to rescue Roy from Qurac
And together, the four of you formed the Outlaws
Your and Roy's relationship had been through thick and thin
You went from Jason's mutual friends
To plain acquaintances
To friends but you weren't close enough to nag or judge him for his terrible life decisions
To friends but you could nag him, but you still had boundaries
To friends who could literally be considered as married
Like legit those weird friends that could go to the bathroom while the other one would be showering
The type of friends that would cuddle with each other
Or sleep in the same bed because they feel lonely
Or hold each other because they just needed to be held
Or kiss and make out and have sex
Those kinds of friends
But even though your friendship was built over a volcano that could erupt any second
You still had a strong foundation
And you had been through a lot of shit together
Even though Jason was the one that introduced the both of you
You ended up being closer to Roy than Jason ever dreamed of getting with you
So much so that Jason calls him your Royfriend
haha play on words
Remember how I said your relationship was a volcano just waiting to explode and kill several neighbouring towns?
Well, that explosion came in the form of Jade Nguyen
Or Cheshire
Or the mother of Roy's child
What the fuck?
So, while you were seeking comfort and intimacy and security in Roy
He had been doing the same with Jade
And they had a daughter together
Even though you both weren't official
It broke your heart, and you were devastated
You couldn't bear to watch Roy with his daughter after Jade left her to him
It was too painful to think that you didn't mean as much to him as he did to you
So, you told Jason that you were quitting
And one night you took off
Without telling Roy anything
When he found out, he'll admit he was a little blindsided
But he couldn't blame you
He had known he was the bad guy in this situation
Because he knew about your feelings toward him
And to be honest, he might have felt the same way
But he was afraid to fall for someone
The intensity of his feelings scared him
Everything in his life always went so wrong
And things with you were so good the way they were
Sleeping with Jade was something he didn't expect
It was stupid and it was a mistake
And he did regret it happening at all
But regardless, he had a daughter
And he chose to love her dearly, to raise her well and healthy
Unlike the way he grew up
He wanted to find you and apologize
To get on his knees and beg for forgiveness
But he knew that you deserved better than that
I mean, really
What was he expecting?
That he'd find you and ask to raise someone else's child along with him?
The same person who he slept with despite having feelings for you?
You deserved way better than that
And that's what you believed too while you tried to forget what Roy's kisses felt like
How safe and loved you felt in his arms
How if you forgot the world for a second, you actually felt happy with him
But it was all fake, it wasn't real
Because you were the only one who felt that way
You were either a burden to him, or he was using you
And you didn't want to spend one more moment lamenting over him
And that's exactly what you plan to do
Until one day someone appears at your apartment
"Hi, can I help you?"
"Hey, mom."
"Um, wrong number."
You replied immediately before you slammed the door in her face
The knocking on the door and the ringing of the bell persisted until you opened the door again
"Okay that was a stupid opening, alright. I mean it was super sentimental and wholesome from my side. But it might have been super confusing and weird on your end."
"I'm this close to closing the door again."
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Lian Harper."
You outright laughed at her standing so confidently in front of you, pretending to be your friend's daughter like she didn't know Lian was still an infant
"Yeah, because you're definitely an infant who can't stand let alone get across the country."
"I'm Lian Harper. From 12 years in the future." She said, fishing for something in her pocket and for a second you thought it was a gun before she revealed a ring
You stopped in your tracks
That ring...
It was a family heirloom that you inherited
You glared at her, snatching the ring from her hands
"Stay. Right. Here!"
You went to check where you had hidden the ring
And there it was right where you had left it
Identical to the scratches that were left on the surface from when you used to wear it out in the field
Which meant that she was really from the future
Or had amazing forgery skills
When you opened the door again, she was smiling expectantly at you
"I don't know what the hell you want from me, but I suggest you get lost before I make you regret it."
She frowned, "Trust issues much, mom? How much proof do you want from me?"
You leaned against the doorframe, crossing your arms, "Considering you call me mom makes me suspect that you have no idea what character you're supposed to be playing."
"Or maybe I call you mom because you raised me?"
You raised a brow at her, "What the hell are you saying?"
"Look, I don't know what's going on either. I was in a fight with one of the lanterns and I woke up 12 years in the past and I remember one of your safehouses were here, so I came here to camp out until I found something but instead found you."
She was sticking to her story very vehemently, and you were compelled to believe her
You spend the night talking, trying to wrap your head around all of this
"So, I get married to your father and raise you along with Roy, is that right?"
"Yeah."
"What about your mother?"
"Who cares about her?"
This really shouldn't have surprised you
Considering you've seen A LOT of bad parental relationships
It would have been more surprising if she said that she was in a fully functioning and healthy relationship with her mother
But still, you felt sorry for her
And to be honest, the fact that you would inevitably be put in the middle of their family issues made you uncomfortable
You didn't want to be the reason their family didn't work out
Jade, Roy and Lian deserved a chance to have a happy family
Lian was stubborn though
She kept insisting that she didn't need Jade
But she was also young
You remember thinking the same at that age
But sorting out their relationship would probably benefit her in the long run
For some reason, you felt compelled to reunite her with her mother
Or set their relationship straight from the start
So right before she falls asleep in your bed
You tell her that you both are heading for Roy's place tomorrow to sort this out and try and find out how to send her home
Before going to sleep on the couch
To say Roy was surprised when you come knocking on the door with a girl that looks like a younger Jade is an understatement
He didn't believe Lian at first
But after listening to both you and her, he conceded
The three of you were standing in his living room when you heard a cry from the baby chair where little Lian was sitting
Lian grinned brightly at her younger self
"Man, I was so cute! Enjoy this time younger me, it gets real shitty when you grow up."
"Language." Roy chastised without skipping a beat and you hid a smile at it
He was such a dad
You'll admit you had doubts
But he was really pulling himself together for the sake of his daughter
Together, the three of you try to decide how to go about getting Lian back to her own time
She tells Roy all about her life in the future
And honestly just hearing her makes him feel so happy
This whole thing caught him off guard and he was never sure if he ever even wanted to be a father
He was going through his own shit before Lian came
And he was just grasping at straws when it came to this whole father thing
But she didn't seem like she hated him
She was healthy and happy
And Roy's heart had never felt so light before
All the things that were bothering him
Like whether he'd be a good father
Or whether you'd ever forgive him and come back to him
Those things seemed to go well
And he couldn't be more grateful for it
After a while though
When Lian is preoccupied with something
You pull Roy out into the hallway
To try and convince him to somehow bring Jade back into Lian's life
And how the three of them deserved to be a family
You were honestly just trying to do what you thought was best for Lian and Roy and even Jade
You didn't want to make them uncomfortable and try and fit you in their family
After all they've been through, Roy at least deserved a good family
All you wanted was their happiness
Even if it meant at your expense
But all Roy heard was that you didn't want to be part of this family
You didn't want to be put into this uncomfortable situation
You didn't want to raise Lian along with him
You didn't want to be in a relationship with him
And why should he blame you?
He shouldn't hold it against you if you wanted to be with someone who made less mistakes than him
Who was more open than him
Who was gentler and kinder and better than him
You deserved that
"I'll try and convince Jade to stay so we can be a family."
Even though both your hearts were breaking in your chest
Little did you know a third heart was cracking right as they heard you say it
The door slammed open and there stood Lian with the most betrayed expression she could muster
Her eyes were filled with tears
"I don't want Jade to come back! She chose to leave us! This was her choice!"
"Lian, I know how you feel now but if we get Jade back then we can nip this at the bud, you three can be a family."
"I already have a family! A happy one, with you and dad! I don't want her back in my life! I don't want her to ruin the family that I have!"
"Lian....she's your mother." You tried to convince
"Why are you so fixated on that?!! Yes, she is my mother, but you were the woman I ran to whenever I needed mom!"
Your eyes clouded with tears
This whole time you thought that you shouldn't be in between them
That they deserved to be a family without you
That you were just someone that Roy and Lian would settle for in Jade's absence
But she was here, and she was telling you that she just wanted you
She had a chance to choose Jade instead
But she still wanted you
And you had a place in this family
You weren't just kidding yourself
You actually had a place that mattered and a family that loved you
"Mom, please don't leave me." She whimpered out, wiping her tears and you were crying before you knew it
You hugged her so tightly and that harsh clenching of your chest ceased
It finally felt like everything would be okay
"I won't. I won't leave you. It's okay, mommy's here." You whispered into her hair, holding onto her as tightly as you could
Roy joined into the hug when you grabbed his arm
And the three of you together in the hallway hugged each other tightly
Like it was real
Like you were a family
Eventually, Lian cried so much that she tired herself out
And Roy carried her back to bed
When he came back out, you were tending to baby Lian who was just about to fall asleep as well
And Roy just took a moment to gaze at you
With his daughter in your arms as you rocked her to sleep
And he just knew that this is what he had ever wanted
Not Jade
Just you
Eventually, she fell asleep soundly, blubbering into your shirt and you chuckled at the sight of her
It was weird, you never thought you would be able to replace Jade
And maybe you wouldn't
But you had a place with them, and you were a part of this family
"I'm so sorry, (Y/N)." Roy whispered to you, trying to keep quiet for the sake of his sleeping child
You gave him a small smile
You weren't exactly sure how you felt about this situation and about him
But you knew this was where you both wanted to be
And you were going to try hard to work this out
So, you didn't say anything and just cupped his cheek before leaning in to place a soft kiss to his lips
Lian fussed in your arms from the movement, and you pulled away to make sure she fell back into her slumber
Just as you placed her back into the crib, you reached into your pocket and handed Roy something
He gazed at the ring in his palm with a brow raised
"It was a family heirloom. I guess, it belongs to our family now." You muttered, blushing furiously when you saw the smile on his face.
"Apparently you propose with this ring so I'm just going to tell you to hold onto it."
Roy gave you a look that was halfway between a smirk and a smile
"(Y/N) (L/N), are you proposing to me right now."
You mirrored the smile, "Roy Harper, I'm asking you to make me (Y/N) Harper."
He grinned brightly at you, leaning in to kiss you passionately
You heard a noise at the door
When you pulled away, Lian was standing at the door, smiling widely
"That was so romantic you guys! I can't believe I was actually here to witness the proposal!"
You scoffed before pointing at the snoozing babe in the corner of the room, "You are here."
Lian scoffed right back, and Roy chuckled, noticing the resemblance between the both of you
"She's so useless. Sleeping at a time like this."
"Hey, that's my daughter you're talking about."
If you noticed the giant smile on Roy's face after hearing that, you didn't say anything
You definitely noticed
