SPOILERS if you have not seen the episode of course:

We start off the episode with an Amazo Tech blimp crashing into a building in Metropolis

You don't see a lot of blimps in Metropolis. Gotham is usually the one with a lot of blimps flying around. If you saw the episode on Adult Swim when it premiered on air you'll know that the next episode involved Professor Anthony Ivo and Amazo Tech. Throughout the previous episodes and this one, the Amazo Tech brand is shown to set up next week's episode. After the scene we go to a break in at Stryker's Island (more on that location later) as we see one of the villains for the episode Mist...

and one of his partners...

Rough House who are trying to break out...

Siobhan McDougal. If you know your Superman comics, you'll also know here as Silver Banshee.

Kyle/Mist is a VERY old DC supervillain from the 1940s who first appeared in Adventure Comics #47 (1941) as the arch villain to Starman. Mist's design in the comics is RADICALLY different from the show.

MAwS modernized Mist's design compared to here in these comics panels (W: Alfred Bester, P&I: Jack Burnley, C: Raymond Perry, L: Betty Bentley). In the comic Mist's power allows him to turn his body into a gaseous form thus the name. MAwS uses Mist as someone who can turn himself and objects invisible (lowkey when Mist showed up I was like "is that Luminus from Superman the Animated Series?") Fun fact in the comic, we don't know what Mist's last name is. All we know is that his name is Kyle and in the show that is what Rough House calls him on accident but at least he has a last name, McDougal in MAwS.

Rough House makes his first appearance in Adventures of Superman #544 (1997) (W: Karl Kesel, P: Stuart Immonen, I: José Marzán Jr., C: Glenn Whitmore & Digital Chameleon, L: Albert DeGuzman) where we see him rip open a door with his bear hands as a member of Intergang (more on them later).

Siobhan McDougal aka Silver Banshee makes her first appearance here in Action Comics 595 (cover by John Byrne). In the comics Silver Banshee's powers are a lot different than how MAwS does it. Comics Silver Banshee has the Banshee Curse giving her powers like flight, super strength, a death stare, and of course her signature thing, the Death Wail, a sonic scream that can knock someone into a coma or it outright kills them. The version in the show gives Silver Banshee her signature sound manipulation powers through a mask...

which kind of invokes her comic counterpart's skull face design.

Mist and Rough House break into Stryker's Island to free Mist's sister Silver Banshee (in the comics Mist and Silver Banshee have no familial connection). Stryker's Island makes its first appearance in Superman #9 (1987) (W&P: John Byrne, I: Karl Kesel, C: Tom Ziuko, L: John Costanza) where Joker arrives in Metropolis to challenge Superman. Stryker's Island is supposed to be a stand in for Riker's Island in New York even though there is a Riker's Island in the DC Universe because Metropolis is often a reflection of New York City.

The next Easter egg is the scene after where Lois name drops Waid's Cafe as a reference to...

Mark Waid, one the best writers in the comic book industry. In terms of DC work, you might recognize his writing credit on Flash with artist, Brian Augustyn (we miss you Brian), Kingdom Come with painter, Alex Ross, and Superman Birthright with artist, Leinil Yu (highly recommend checking out all three titles). He's also currently writing for Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest with artist Dan Mora, which I also HIGHLY recommend reading. Fantastic writer, super nice person if you ever meet him at a convention.

Later, Jimmy is heard screaming "back you monsters" and we see some more of the Daily Planet staff...

From left to right its Cat Grant (doing the anime high society lady laugh), who runs the celebrity and gossip side of the paper, Steve Lombard, who reports on sports, and Ronnie Troupe, the investigative journalist on the team. Their names were mentioned in the previous episode after taking Lois, Jimmy, and Clark's credit for the Superman piece.

Cat Grant make her first appearance here in the Adventures of Superman #424 (1987) (W: Marv Wolfman, P: Jerry Ordway, I: Mike Machlan, C: Tom Ziuko, L: John Costanza) as a potential love interest to Clark to shake up the Clark-Lois-Superman dynamic. You might've seen her in the live action CW Supergirl show. Like in MAwS, in the comics Cat does the gossip columns writing for the Daily Planet.

Steve Lombard makes his first appearance in Superman #264 (1973) (W: Cary Bates, P: Curt Swan, I: Murphy Anderson) as a foil to Clark Kent. Steve acts very brash and rude to contrast Clark's mild manner and friendly demeanor. Later iterations of Steve give him the mustache that becomes part of his signature design.

In MAwS, Ronnie Troupe is a gender swap of Ron Troupe in the comics who makes his first appearance in the Adventures of Superman #480 (1991) (this page specifically, W: Jerry Ordway, P: Tom Grummett, I: Denis Rodier, C: Glenn Whitmore, L: Albert DeGuzman). Like his MAwS counterpart, Ron is an investigative journalist and very level headed. He was the first to break the story about Cyborg Superman meeting the then PoTUS, Bill Clinton.

A news report on TV in the Daily Planet shows Bethany Snow of Channel 52 News reporting about the break out in Stryker's Island. The logo for Channel 52 News reminds me very much DC's 2005 logo.

As for Bethany Snow and Channel 52 News, Bethany made her first appearance in the New Teen Titans #22 (1982) (W: Marv Wolfman, P: George Perez, I: Romeo Tanghal, C: Adrienne Roy, L: Ben Oda) as a news reporter and follower of the Brother Blood cult.

Later iterations and retcons had Bethany Snow as just a reporter where she does the Channel 52 news in the back end of DC comic titles in 2013.

Freddie E. Williams II is the artist for these as Channel 52 was way to let readers know what is happening in other DC titles that they might want to check out with other DC characters reporters accompanying Bethany as seen in the promotional art with Vartox, Ambush Bug, and Calendar Man. Obviously MAwS redesigned Bethany Snow but they at least kept her occupation.

A quick one but we see Lois call Clark "Smallville" a nickname that has been used in various media involving Clark and Lois.

After news report on TV, we cut to Siobhan, Kyle, and Rough House in their hide out where they name drop their group name, Intergang.

In the comics and other media, Intergang is a world wide crime syndicate who is supplied with powerful high tech weaponry from the evil New Gods of Apocalypse, if you know your DC universe, that is everyone is Darkseid's circle. Intergang first appeared in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #133 (1970) created by LEGENDARY artist Jack Kirby.

Here in Forever People #1 (1971) (W&P: Jack Kirby, I: Vince Coletta, L: John Costanza), you can see they have direct contact with Darkseid. Originally led by Morgan Edge, later versions of Intergang had leadership change from Joe Danton to Max Danner. Post-crisis, Intergang is led by Bruno Mannheim (the Intergang boss that I am familiar with), his father Moxie Mannheim would later lead Intergang. Current continuity in DC has Bruno still be the leader of Intergang.

In the episode we learn that MAwS version of Intergang is very small time. Siobhan, Kyle, and Rough House rob convenience stores and make smash and grab runs. But maybe MAwS will move Intergang in the criminal syndicate direction in the future who knows.

After the Intergang scene we cut to Lois, Jimmy and Clark walking up to the front of Stryker's and Jimmy mentions something interesting about convincing the warden to spill on the government's... (read Jimmys quote in the screenshot to complete the sentence)

The term meta-human has its roots in the DC Universe if you did not know! The term was first used here in Invasion #1 (1988) (W: Keith Giffen and Bill Mantlo, P: Todd McFarlane, I: P. Craig Russell, C: Carl Gafford, L: Gaspar Saladino)

In the comic, the Dominators discover that certain humans have what is known as the meta-gene which grants them powers when under a lot of duress and so to test this they rounded up a group of humans and experimented on them with only 6 surviving who gained powers. The Dominators conclude that the human population must be eliminated or there will be a rise in meta-humans on Earth.

How does the government, according to Jimmy, connect to all this. is a possible nod to one of the plot points in Doomsday Clock where the idea that 90% of DC's meta-humans are from the US and they have been engineered by the government. This conspiracy, in the comic is known as the Superman Theory.

This here is one part of the back matter you can read at the end of Doomsday Clock # 5 (2018) (W: Geoff Johns, P&I: Gary Frank, C: Brad Anderson, Back Matter Design: Amie Brockway-Metcalf). Later the trio, specifically Lois, steals the warden's ID badge and were able to access where Siobhan was kept. On the ID the warden's name is Agatha Zorbatos, who's first appearance in the comics was in Batman #23.4 (2013), as the warden of Blackgate Penitentiary in Gotham

Obviously her design in the comic is drastically different from how she looks in the show. The one on your right is from Batman Eternal #4 (2014) (Story: Scott Snyder & James Tynion IV, Script: John Layman, Consulting Writers: Tim Seeley & Ray Fawkes, P: Dustin Nguyen (my favorite comic book artist of all time), I: Derek Fridolfs, C: John Kalisz, L: Rob Leigh).

At the climax of the episode we see more of the alien crystal that Superman encountered last episode from the tech that MAwS Intergang used and it strangely looked familiar. I wouldn't be surprised if the animation team were fans of Neon Genesis Evangelion especially with the way the robots were designed in the first part of episode one and here how the crystal reshapes itself like the angel Ramiel. Also since I'm at my 30 image limit here and I can't post anymore, I also want to point out that the poster that Siobhan has in her cell was a cat with the words "Believe it" over its head I like to believe that is a Naruto reference because the dub has Naruto say "believe it" all the time. I guess I'm gonna be doing the Easter Eggs and references for each episode so expect this to be a weekly thing. I hope you all enjoy my doing this If you made it down here and want to see my first two easter eggs and reference posts for episodes one and two are here and here.

Cloak and Dagger

Summary: The reader and Draco have been dating in secret, however Draco goes out of line mistakenly and hurts her. He's got to make up to his darling now, doesn't he?

Warnings: Smut. Fluff. Daddy kink, some fingering, soft sex. Secret Dating Troupe. Ravenclaw!Reader.

Note: In this context cloak and dagger means secret, the title isn't after the words being used in the fic. This is an eighth year au.

a/n: thank you to this anon : ) and this isn't edited.

NAVIGATION

----------

It had been something entirely clandestine. Cut off and unpublished from the soils of the world. Whatever land that wasn't yours, was unknown to it.

It was yours. It was yours.

To the world, he was someone that hated you.

An enemy; a rival; an antagonist.

Yet in the hidden corners and acloves— he was someone that had the privilege to love you. He wished he had to the privilege to adore you unreservedly.

Draco pressed a firm kiss over your forehead, his fingers slid out of your hair and went down to your tie; fixing the blue and bronze fabric.

"You've got to stop being so messy" He said flatly, staring down at you, his eyes were intent and in a way obsessive as they stared down at you.

"Not everyone's born a fucking aristocrat" You mocked, the corner of your mouth quirking faintly.

He rolled his jaw in annoyance, and then with another kiss over the bump of your nose, he vanished.

—–-

It wasn't unusual of him to be cruel whenever someone would be around. And for the most time, you'd barely go over it considering how everyone thought of you two as two people that abhorred each other's very souls.

"Fuck sake, there's the Hogwarts Regina George and his gang" Harry said in a bitter voice.

Ron snickered.

"You don't even know who that is Ronald" Hermione bellowed, slamming down the picture jacket of her book.

"Yes I do! She from that muggle movie Mean Girls, (Y/N) showed it to me"

Hermione huffed and abruptly sat down on the table as you three followed close behind her.

Draco was silent until you came along with them.

"Hello there (Y/N)" Draco greeted, and you froze in your spot, staring up at him and his so called friends surrounding him.

"Malfoy. What d’ya want?"

"You wound me (Y/N), why so belligerent? I just said hi"

"You didn't say hi, you said 'hello', smartass"

His friends were gawking at him now, eagerly waiting for him to break at spit bitter cruelties at you. And that's exactly what his next move was.

"You're really out here walking like a homeless person. I mean do you ever even look in the mirror? Better be grateful anyone like me is even looking at a pathetic fucking mess like you"

The snickers that came from behind him fell onto deaf ears. It was like being dunked into ice cold water.

His words sliced and seared through your skull like a dagger.

Was that what he actually felt like when he'd said about you being like a mess? That maybe you weren't as beautiful or graceful or elegant for him?

You shifted awkwardly, fumbling with the embroidered sleeve of your cloak. The one that he'd gifted to you.

Draco could decipher the hurt that had flashed through your eyes briefly. You went quiet and stalked out the hallway. You looked at Harry, Ron and Hermione and gestured for them to not come after you. But you didn't look at Draco as you left.

When enough time had passed by for him to not look suspicious, he got up and hurried out the hallway.

—–-

It felt like acid had carved into him just at the thought of him being the one to hurt you. Draco began panicking as he started to find you. What if you were too mad? What if you wouldn't forgive him?

"Fucking hell" He muttered in frustration, dragging a lanky hand through his hair. As he twirled around, he found you seated over the stairs.

The navy blue silk over you shone brightly, your head was turned towards the sun. The shades and hues of orange had you illuminating.

Like an ethereal angel. Like a glittering star.

You were the sun and he was a deprived planet wishing to have your rays on him.

"Bug?"

"Fuck off"

"I'm sorry"

"Fuck you"

He sighed quietly, then he walked forward and sat beside you. "I'm an idiot" Draco said, "But that's why I need you I suppose. Don't think I can survive without my Ravenclaw"

You were mildly glaring at him, your brows furrowed and mouth formed in a straight line.

"What I mean to say is, I'm sorry. I love you, as you are"

You stayed silent.

"I'm so sorry"

Silence.

"I— Fuck. Am I supposed to propose to get you to talk?"

You scoffed and looked ahead; gazing over the vast land of crushed brown leaves and bony trees.

Then you felt his breath linger over your throat, pressing light and soft kisses over you. A whimper tore through you as he swirled his tongue on your sweet spot.

"Let me give you this then" He said, tugging you closer, the warmth of him endless.

"Alright"

You felt Draco smirk as he quickly grabbed you by the back of your knees, swiftly apparating you both to his room.

The crisp black sheets were against your back as he pushed you down. His mouth was on your as he kissed your ravenously.

His hand slipped down and traveled the length of your body, nipping on your sculptured skin.

His tongue slid in and he explored your mouth, his rings burned out coldness through your veins but he was so warm that it bubbled through you.

Draco pulled away and quickly began to strip you down. Zipping off your cloak and unbuttoning your blouse and pulling down your skirt.

"Daddy" you mewled, bucking your hips to show him how desperate you were.

He grinned as he tugged off his own clothing, "I love how I can turn my smart little witch into a dumb toy in a matter of moments"

You pouted at him, eyes soft and innocent.

"Don't worry. Daddy's gonna make it to y’alright?"

Draco kissed your lips and then his fingers teased your opening. His fingers slid through your folds and he groaned as he felt the wetness down there.

He was quick to pull off your panties and shove his fingers inside. You whined and arched into him, moaning as his fingers roughly moved and curled.

His mouth was on your tits, licking and biting at the soft flesh, your nipple in his mouth as his erection hardened at every little movement of yours.

The expression on his face was— possessive.

"Please daddy! Need ya"

"I'm here darling, what do you need daddy to do?"

"Want your–" you hesitated, blushing as your thought whether or not to tell him directly, "Your cock"

His belt came off quick. He was fast to serve you and your desire for him. Draco grunt as he wrapped his hand around his shaft, jerking himself off in preparation. A few more pumps then the tip of his length teased you as you whimpered.

Draco tapped the head of him on your clit, dragging out the avidity in you.

Then finally he pushed inside slow. His visage was where you two were joined.

"Fuck baby��� look at that. M’too big for your tight cunt"

Your fists were curled onto his shoulders as you writhed beneath him, he kissed you as he started to drive inside you.

You shuddered as he thrust in deeper, moving endlessly into your cunt until he finally found that spot within you. The head of his scraping against it.

Draco looked at you with so much revere that it almost scared you.

"Daddy's so sorry for being mean to his little bug, do y’forgive me?"

You drew a ragged moan and nodded incessantly, arching yourself so that your hips met more, "Yes, yes— m’not mad an—anymore, jus go— go f-faster"

He chuckled lightly and began moving faster just as you'd told him, his hands were holding you to him, and then he reached them down to rub at your nub.

His fingers firmly pressed down on it as he drew rough circles, further tightening the coil in your abdomen.

Draco crushed his body with yours as he began to pound harder.

"Fuck I'm right there— are you going to cum for me love?"

"Yes! M’gonna cum! C—cum in me please"

Then it hit you, your entire body shook at you came, your walls tightening as the coil unraveled. A few more pumps and then he came after you.

His muscles flexed and he gave a hiss as he filled you up, he stayed buried in you until he emptied every drop in you.

The bed had stopped creaking, and the room was silent. Draco pulled out and rolled onto his back.

His hands framed you and pulled you to his chest, kissing your temple as he panted.

"You're perfect you know that?" he said, "and all mine"

A shiver ran through you at the possessiveness, he intertwined your hands and ran his thumb along the sinew of yours fingers.

"Mine. Mine"

I figured out some last names for some of cuphead bosses (mostly for the casino crew). Walter Decanter, Ronald (Ron) Bacardi, Martha (Marnie) Vesper, Mangosteen Cueman. Turns out vesper is Latin for evening and an for drink.

Oooh! I like ‘em! You’re giving love to the Tipsy Troupe like they deserve.

Though, for Mango... I like that last name, but I’ve been considering giving him the first name Maurice, and Mangosteen is just a nickname. Still a little iffy on it, though. I’ll keep you posted.

Thousands of Asian refugees took Japan up on the offer to enter their country, and have taken low-paying jobs handed out to them by various companies looking for a cheap work force. Gino, a combat pilot and World War IV veteran, is one such refugee, working as a helicopter pilot for a corporate CEO. He is angry and depressed and plots revenge against Japanese society, starting with assassinating his employer. When Section 9 is sent to investigate his plots, Kusanagi eventually concludes that Gino lacks the fortitude to act out his fantasies, and is just one in the long line of pitiful souls who dream about fulfilling goals they can never accomplish.

The episode contains strong references to the film Taxi Driver, which has many similar themes (a returning ex-soldier, scarred by a war the public wants to forget, and focusing his anger outwardly into fantasies of revenge and bloodshed).

Pestering you about headcanons

thank you!!! here is what i have, feel free to add!!! also, this is all hogwarts yeshiva style, where everyone is jewish, no questions asked.

and without further ado, purim-potter headcanons:

so the atmosphere during adar is very fun, and certain students take the whole v'nahafochuh thing incredibly seriously. on rosh chodesh adar of the marauders’ first year, hogwarts wakes up to find all the portraits were turned upside down in the middle of the night. a great laugh and good fun. by sixth year they manage to figure out how to mix charms and transfiguration spells together and to make it last longer than a few hours. so roch chodesh of their sixth year, hogwarts wakes up to find the entire school in gryffindor colours. all the banners in the great hall are gryffindor banners. all the carpeting is scarlet, the railings gold. every pet has been charmed to roar like a lion. and the snakes, badgers, and eagles have disappeared from every hogwarts crest in the castle.

(filch wants them to get detention till the omer ends, but mcgonagall is so impressed with the magic she actually ends up rewarding them with points. “enough, argus, it’s adar”)

and now we’ll get to the mitzvot! the mems! so we’ll start with shaluch manot (or mishlochai manot if you didn’t grow up with yiddish all around). i feel like at hogwarts you can either sign up for the school shaluch manot, and pay like a sickle for each person you’d like to deliver to, and then the school gives each person a basket with however much stuff people paid for for that particular person. you know, like how neighbourhoods do sometimes? or bnei akivah? but another option is signing up to do them on your own/with a group. so likes siblings often do together but then also so do really good friends (the marauders, say) and the list of everyone’s shaluch manot plans goes up a month before purim so that everyone can make lists of who they need to make for.

i see harry, like, signing up for the school shaluch manot in first year and being totally blown away when like every single student gives him one.

mrs weasley sends her kids and harry and hermione shaluch manot every year, of course, and they’re like, the family that goes all out. you know the one, with the huge basket with like five foods for every brachah “just in case!! haha:)” and you kinda hate them but also you have all this food!

first year is hermione’s first year where she has like…unlimited access to sugar. and she kinda has no idea what to do with herself. ron helps her. obviously.

i feel like the marauders would sign up to do a group shaluch manot every year and do some ridiculous theme. fifth year they totally did an animagus-werwolf theme. like dog-biscuit shaped cookies, sugar deer antlers or something, edible moon rocks, and the whole things on a rat’s wheel. and everyone’s like ?????? but they’re Dead™

hogwarts has every nusach ever for megillah reading. everyone who wants to hear a certain nusach for all holidays requests it at the beginning of the year and it’s the prefects’ job to find someone to read for each requested nusach by each holiday.

something that happened at my shul last night: after the whole “and mordechai cried a bitter and loud cry” bit, the reader paused, and then his son yelled really loudly and everyone in shul died laughing. anyway you can rest assured fred and george weasley did that, like, every year. also they definitely bring more and more ridiculous instruments for haman. like a trombone or something.

hermione for sure goes to the women’s reading and she even learns to read herself by fourth year! she learns it in the parsi nusach because she is a trash child and thinks it sounds more ~authentic that way. (“yeah but…you’re ashkie and ethiopian” “honestly, ronald, it’s set in shushan!”)

matanot l'evyonim is a touchy subject for ron because malfoy mocks him endlessly. there are a lot of options that the school organises to donate for, though, and hermione never stops trying to get them to open a kupah for the house elves.

lily evans, in her fourth year, organises a kupah for werewolves. she does it in such a sneaky way that like james, sirius, and peter have no idea where she got the idea from but remus knows. and she manages to collect fifty galleons from the whole school that year, and that purim remus truly feels like he doesn’t need to be the one accepting any tzdakah, he has so much and he only wants to give.

mishteh. dear lord. how hogwarts does that feast. dumbledore books the most amazing entertainment every year. once they got this miming troupe that acted out the story of purim and the students went nuts. and they’ve always got music playing from ever-spinning groggers and the food is all purim-themed, of course. like a gallows-shaped caked. fifty amot high, not an ammah less.

and the costumes. there’s a contest: best group, best pair, best single. most creative, noisiest, most impressive magic involved.

i can just imagine lily evans just coming up with the absolute laziest costumes ever. like in fifth year, she borrows hestia jones’ badge and and she’s a ravenclaw prefect. or third year, when she goes as a muggle. or seventh, when she steals james’ robes and goes as a quidditch player (although he is absolutely thrilled with it) (and let’s be honest lily, it took just a little bit of effort to hide all your plans from him, that year)

Hey, I have som human name headcannons for the Tipsy Troop if you like read! Whiskey: Wesley, Martini: Maria or Marnie and Rum: Ronald but everyone calls him Ron.

Ooooh! Good names, pal! I was actually just thinking about the Tipsy Troupe the other night! 

Though, that name you picked out for Whiskey is really close to the name I got for Weepy, so I’d probably name him something like Wayne or Walter.

I really like Marnie for Martini, I’d been low-key calling her Martha, but she probably does go by Marnie too. Martha is her Serious Name.

And I Really Like Ronald for Rum! You’ve got some good names there.
