iâve seen a couple crossovers of doctor who and the magnus archives, which is an amazing idea in general and i would like more
but what i think is potentially the best combination for that crossover that i have yet to see is nine + whichever iteration of the archives crew
imagine this horribly traumatized little ball of sunshine who just had to destroy his entire planet, meeting jonathan jarchivist sims
obviously what point in the tma canon it happened would massively change how that went but i would like to see it and honestly iâm this close to writing it myself
#i donât know if nine would like s1 jon at least not at the start#s2 jon is getting picked up by his scruff while 9(the professional hypocrite) tries to help him try out a healthy coping mechanism or two#and also yâknow solve the mysteries of the institute and gertrudeâs murder and stuff#i think he would immediately (& rightly) be suspicious of s3 jonâs new powers#s4 i think heâd be extremely concerned about everyoneâs plans for jon#and also very sympathetic to everyone abandoning him#s5âŚâŚâŚ.. that would be a rough time for nine to meet jon#itâd probably be way to close to his own issues and past#but also i like to think heâd hear how jonah tricked him into doing this and immediately join martin on âkill jonah magnusâ train#all of these interactions would obviously change if rose and or jack were there#and if anyone else at the archives know about the doctor#actually speaking of jack i would like him and tim to meet#the magnus archives#tma#tma podcast#tma au#tma headcanons#tma shitpost#tma jon#tma tim#doctor who shitpost#doctor who textpost#doctor who captain jack harkness#doctor who#ninth doctor#captain jack harkness#rose tyler#doctor who rose

DPxDC - Mafia Ties
Good parents Fenton and redeemed Vlad escaping to another universe with Danny, Jordan, Ellie, Jazz, Tucker, and Sam because of GIW chaos getting so bad they literally need to go to another world to get help, only for the portal to close, and they can't open it from this side. Jordan is Jazz's age maybe a year older and Ellie accidentally got deaged to her actual age give or take which is probably about a year and a half old. Yes it's the Family Breakfast ship.
@hallowsden
Cue Vlad doing his whole possession stuff to not only get them new identities but carefully accumulate a small amount of wealth, not enough to be suspicious in his opinion but still.
The Fenton parents start looking to see if/where this world has ectoplasm because the kids, and maybe Vlad, need it. Hel, maybe the parents accidentally need it too after all those years of exposure.
I know everyone chooses Gotham for this stuff, but also that's about the most I know about DC and it has a Lazarus pit underground so we're using it.
Vlad doesn't get back into the proper businessman profile, too many eyes for him to feel safe after the GIW disaster, but he does end up a Mafia boss, or at least tries. Also, Hood becomes a new 'son' obsession for him, yeah he has Danny and Jordan and Ellie but this kid is also ghosty and probably hungry or something, right?
Hood doesn't get what's up with this weird older man who always has a baby with him, let alone why he'd even bring a baby along to mafia stuff.
Vlad thinks it's safer to have Ellie in mafia meetings than be left with the Fentons during their research obsession periods because they will literally not pay attention to anything else unless it's an emergency, it's not their fault, they're learning to manage it though.
Speaking of Fentons, they work on clean energy manufacturing topside, but underground they deal with weapons. Mostly they supply them to Vlad's crew, since that's basically their testing grounds, but they also don't make anything that's actually lethal. Vlad isn't a fan of guns though but he isn't about to bring out his plasma blasts if there isn't a good reason. (He pretends anyone who sees him cackling like a maniac hit their head, he did say he hates using guns after all).
Jordan and Jazz are probably about 17/18 now. Jazz is going to college, while Jordan slips his way into the kid's mafia (yes he knows he's a kid now too, shut up, he used to be 24). This is half to annoy Vlad and half because he's curious. Jazz, of course, with a little help from both Vlad and Tucker in getting her grades moved between universes, is in college soon, and manages a full scholarship (not that Vlad wouldn't have paid if he still had his old money, in fact he might even be a little jealous that he wasn't the one to pay for her schooling).
Jordan looks a little more like Vlad than he does Jack, due to the way the ghost half fusion effects everything, but he also looks more like Jack than Maddie because Jack is what Danny would have grown into anyway.
Ellie of course just looks like a nearly carbon copy of Danny of course, just baby and female.
Danny, Sam, and Tucker are all going to Gotham Prep, if Vlad can't pay for Jazz's schooling then he's paying at just some for theirs (they might have partial scholarships but not full ride). Danny still sneaks out at night because he can't stand sitting still after a long time of being a vigilante and ends up running into the Bat. He promptly apologizes for invading his haunt and flees.
If any ships, I'm thinking Jazz/Jason and Jordan/Dick, but I'm a sucker for everlasting Trio and Tim also has a trio of his own.
Back to Ellie and Vlad. He of course is trying to keep any 'Meta' rumors on the downlow, but she's just a baby. The harness she's in is ghost proof mostly so she can't just phase out of it, but you try changing a baby's diaper and they just turn intangible, or put then down to nap when they start floating. Hel, imagine setting her down for two seconds, she accidentally makes a shield, and now she's crying because she wants to be held. Sure, Vlad and Danny both, Jordan and Ellie too, can go through shields in human form, but that doesn't mean it doesn't sting or something. Eventually it gets figured out though.
I wonder how long it takes Jason to figure out that this Jordan fellow is related to Vlad. đ
I also wonder what it would take for Vlad to actually use his ghost form outright, what kind of threat he'd expose himself to for the sake of his family. Just, shoving the kids at Jack - "Darling your aim is iced tea, let Maddie and myself handle this" - and doing what he has to.
And, yes, even as a Mafia boss he refuses to actually swear. Also, he probably still goes by Plasmius, the way his other form looks does NOT help the vampire rumors. Let alone the- well, I read a post on here a while ago where Ellie Danny and Jordan were deaged and needed his ectoplasm to survive. Imagine being a Plasmius goon in a meeting while he's trying to rock his baby to sleep and she's just sucking on his hand. You don't think much of it until you see he's bleeding and, even though it's technically red, your pretty sure it's glowing green and you're not sure if you want to ask (you won't but still). Plus, he's not even reacting to what must be a fair bit of pain, right?
Honestly, there's probably a betting pool about the whole weird family.
And of course I'm bringing in my Alfred Clockwork storyline. Flashpoint Thomas is Frighty, dead Thomas is Pariah, and Gotham is Martha. The moment Vlad finds out that Jason's grandparents are some of the most powerful ghosts in the realms (or at least this side of them in Gotham's case) he's like "okay I won't interfere, but maybe he'd like a friend? He doesn't seem to know a lot of ghosts.' (he tries to figure out which kid would be a better fit and that's when he finds out Jordan's been working for Hood this whole time. "You didn't tell me?" "You didn't know?!") đ
Basically, give me a Mafia family who's major story plot isn't even the bats outright, it's just trying to survive after fleeing a world that may as well be destroyed at this point. Sure, they interact with the bats, cross paths, maybe even a couple relationships, but, overall, the Fenton-Masters are just outsiders in Gotham, learning to adjust to this new life.

Danny's Daycare Part 11
[Master List]
Dragging himself off the couch (where heâd actually gotten a few hours of sleep- howâs that for ânot normalâ Red Hood?), Danny checked his phone. He had a missed call from an unknown number two texts, one from Damian one from Tim, and a reminder that Damian was coming over sometime after noon.
Tim: No worries, Danny. I hope everythingâs all right?
Danny decided to respond to that later when he heard the bedroom door open and remembered he needed to get breakfast started. Hopping up, he moved to the kitchen, feeling lighter than he had in weeks, and started searching for food.
ââMorning.â Santi murmured, taking a seat on the stools across the island from Danny. âWhaâs tâeat?â
Heâd learned early on that the boysâ Gotham accent was even thicker after waking up and had to keep himself from cooing at how adorable it was. Youâre not their dad, chill.
âLooks likeâŚ.â Danny pulled out the container Red Hood had left the night before and read the little note he also included. Gallo Pinto, make some eggs and toast to go with it- thereâs plenty so actually eat it, Danny. -Red Hood ��Something called Gallo Pinto. I just have to make some eggs.â He ignored the pointed remark about eating the food and he definitely ignored the part about toast.
Santi sighed and placed his head against the counter.Â
âYou okay, kid?âÂ
The boy nodded. ââM tired. Miguelâsa bed hog.â
Danny laughed. âLooks like you and I have something in common.â Santi looked up, questioningly. âOlder siblings who hog the bed. I bet he steals the covers too, huh?â When the boy nodded Danny chuckled again. âYeahhhâŚ. They always use the âIâm biggerâ arguement too.â
ââF I had a younger siblinâ Iâd do it to âem too.â Santi sighed. âDid you do it ta Dani?â
âNo I⌠I never had the opportunity.â
Santi tilted his head. âHow come?â
He hadnât told the boys much about himself, though he never held back information it usually just didnât come up. He wondered though⌠if they outright asked him about certain things, Phantom, ghosts, Jack and Maddie, would he tell them? âWe didnât grow up together really.â
âBut sheâs yer sister.â
âYes, well⌠I⌠didnât meet her until I was fifteen and she was twelve and even after that we didnât spend much time together. She spent her teenage years traveling and I- well I didnât.â He let out a puff of air, Santiago was clearly very interested in this topic so he continued. âDaniâs a free spirit, sheâs always come and gone as she pleased and well⌠I couldnât be happier that shesâs decided to stay here for a little while. Donât tell her but I kind of missed her.â He stage whispered the last sentence as if she would overhear him.
Speak of the devil and she shall appear. His door opened and closed without so much as a knock and then a very familiar face walked around the corner. âWhatâs to eat? I'm starving!â She exclaimed obnoxiously.
~~~
âSo this friend of yoursâŚâ Miguel trailed off, Danny waited in silence for him to finish his sentence. âSo your friendâŚ.â Danny nodded. âYou have friends?â
Dani cackled while Danny huffed, exasperated. âOf course I have friends!â Miguel and Santiago shared doubting looks. âListen, I just donât have a lot of time to hang out with people. But thereâs Sam and Tucker, weâve been friends forever, and then Valerie joined the group- oh and Wes is definitely a friend too. We became friends towards the end of high school though so we donât keep up as much. But yeah, I have friends.â
âDude.â Santiago breathed. âThatâs like⌠four people.â
âIâm pretty sure every friend is canceled out by an enemy so youâre at net 0 brother.â Dani laughed. âThe negatives even.â
Miguel frowned. âYou have enemies?â
Dannyâs rebuttal was cut off by the knocking at their door- saved by the bell, well, sort of. Metaphorically. Damian was on the other side of the door, wearing slacks and a nice sweater (why was the kid always so dressed up?) and had a bag in one hand weighed down by (theoretically) cat stuff.
âHi Damian!â Danny greeted. âCome on in!â Heâd noticed throughout the time heâd known Damian that the boy was rather proper. He was always dressed nicely, always spoke politely, his posture was perfect, and he had an air about himself⌠like he knew his importance. He supposed it was good that the kid had that much confidence- maybe it would rub off on Miguel a bit.
Leading Damian to the dining room (which was really just a table in the kitchen), Danny started introduction. âI know you guys met briefly at the store-â
âYouâre that guy whose brother goes by dick!â Santiago laughed.
Damian quirked an eyebrow. âYes, Richard insists on going by it which I think is absurd.â
Santiago quirked his head. âWhy you talk like that, man?â
âOKAY!â Danny clapped his hands together. âLetâs not be rude to my friend who is here to do us a favor and teach you boys about owning a cat, capeesh?â The boys nodded, Santiago sheepishly, and Damian untensed slightly. âMiguel, Santi, why donât you show Damian your apartment and he can answer any of your questions.â
The boys nodded and Damian followed them without a word. The second they were out of earshot Dani gave him a Look.Â
âWhat?â Danny asked defensively.
âOh my Ancients.â She breathed, her eyes widened as if sheâd just realized something.
Danny looked between where Damian had disappeared and his freaking-out sister. âWhat?â
âNothing. Youâre a dumbass.â She stood up and stretched. âThis has been fun but Iâve got some things to see to, people to visit, you knowâŚâ She trailed off.
Pursing his lips, Danny tried not to ask. Heâd suspected for a while that she was hiding something from him, but he didnât know what or why. And he didnât want to know. She was free to keep things to herself, he didnât need to know everything she was doing at all times. âOkay- donât forget, tutoring with Jason starts a week from tomorrow and you might learn a thing or two from him.â
âPffff.â She waved a hand at him dismissively. âIâm already great at English!â
He deadpanned her. âYou remember who youâre made from, right?â
~~~
âDo either of you have any questions?â Damian asked, looking between the two boys whoâd been listening to his instructions without interruption for the past thirty minutes. When heâd met them- or, re-met them, heâd thought they would be incapable of listening to his expertise without butting in constantly, but heâd been wrong.
Miguel and Santiago shared looks, the older one was the first to speak up. âI donât think so. Guess we can always ask Danny if we think of anythinâ later on.â He shrugged.
Knowing that Danny was not only new to owning cats but also incredibly busy, Damian hesitantly offered his own number. âIf you ever have questions that Nightingale cannot answer or is not around to answer⌠you may⌠call or text me.â
âOh shit man, really?â Santiago blurted out.
Miguel smacked him upside the head but it seemed to be more of a brotherly affection than anything else. âManners, man.â
âRight, uh. Sorry.â Santiago offered. âJust excited I guess, we never got a pet before.â
Damian knew the feeling. When father had first agreed to letting him get a cat heâd been ecstatic. One cat, dog, and cow later and Damian was still excited any time he rescued a new animal or was able to get another one himself. âThat is understandable, I too was excited to get my first pet.â Checking his watch, he stood. He still had homework to do before patrol tonight. âI should be going, but let me know how things are going once youâve gotten all of the necessary supplies and have fallen into a routine.â
After saying goodbye to Danny and heading out Damian couldnât help but hope the boys would text him. He pushed the sentiment away quickly. They either would or would not message him and it did not matter either way.
~~~
 âSo Dannyâs like- not human, right?â And wasnât that a crazy way to start a conversation?
âHi Santi, what happened to hi? Hello? How are you? My name is?â Miguel joked back, not taking his eyes off the textbook in front of him.
His younger brother groaned. âCome ooooon! Thereâs somethinâ weird âbout him! Heâs gotta be a meta, right?âÂ
Spinning his pencil, Miguel responded absentmindedly. âWhat makes you say that?â
ââMember when he was having a long day last week and accidentally ripped the handle off the fridge âcause it wouldnât open? Or how âbout when I left some stuff here the other day and came ta get it while he was at work anâ he was also here? And at dinner that night I asked âim how work was and he said it was good?â
Miguel hummed. âMaybe he took that day off and didnât want us to think he was beinâ a helicopter parent.â
âAH HA!â Santiago shouted, jumping to his feet and pointing. âYou called him a parent!â
The older boy groaned. âSanti- I didnât mean- look, heâs like five years older than me! At most heâs like an older brother and even then-â
âTell me again how âe chased down your kidnappers and kicked their asses? Or how safe you felt when he moved you out of the way of danger? Or how he checked on us a buncha times at night and got you anythinâ you asked for?â
Miguel groaned, completely forgetting about the textbook as his brother listed off more times Danny was âmeta likeâ or âdad shapedâ. It wasnât untrue- but Miguel had said he didnât want Danny to play parent and he meant it. Heâd had parents, he knew how that song and dance went, and he wasnât looking to suffering it again.Â
Danny was cool, he fed them, helped them with school stuff, took care of them, all the things a parent did, but he didnât get on them about curfew, or eating their vegetables, or grades, or any of that bullshit parents got upset about. He was cool. And safe.
He didnât remember a lot from his kidnapping- Danny said that was probably for the best- but he remembered a lot of loud noises at one point and how badly he wanted them to stop. And all at once they did. After that there was a voice, it was comforting, calming, and gentle hands that held him close. Danny had told him after the fact that heâd moved Miguel away from the danger and had Red Robin take him home.
Because apparently Danny wasnât done. Miguel had no idea how many guys Danny took out, but any amount was too much. After the way Miguel had treated him, the way heâd yelled at Danny and got mad at him for just trying to help- Miguel didnât deserve Dannyâs help.
âAre you even listeninâ?â Santiago asked, leaning close.
âSo what if he ainât human? Metaâsâre cool.â Miguel argued.
Santiago looked at him like heâd said something stupid. âObviously. But Batman hates âem! What if he finds out ân kicks Danny outta Gotham!âÂ
Anxiety clawed at Miguelâs insides but he pushed it down in favor of quelling his brothersâ. âThat aintâ gonna happen dumbass. Batman donât care âbout Danny beinâ a upstandinâ citizen.â
âHey guys,â Danny knocked on the door and leaned into Miguelâs room. âDani wants to go out for a couple of hours this afternoon, go shopping, get food, stuff like that. You guys want to come?â
The boys looked at each other, knowing why Dani was trying to get him out of the apartment. âNah, got work to do.â Miguel answered casually.Â
âOkay⌠Santi?âÂ
Miguel froze.
ââM good, gonna stay with Mick.â Santi answered, unperturbed.
Danny shrugged and left them to their work. When Miguel was sure he was gone he whipped around to Santiago. âYou let him call you Santi? Since when?â
His brother bit his bottom lip nervously. âUh⌠when⌠he called me that when I⌠when you wereâŚâ
Right. That made sense. High stress moments make people form bonds or whatever. Jazz said something about that the last time sheâd swung by. She was never around for long, just enough to ask the boys about themselves and make sure Danny was eating and sleeping (he wasnât). âDo you⌠want âim to call you that?â
Up until this point, Miguel had been the only person allowed to call him that nickname.
âI mean⌠I kind of⌠like it?â Santi mumbled. âHeâs just so nice and he takes care of us and- and I- I⌠heâs okay- okay?â
Feeling a twinge of guilt and jealousy, Miguel shrugged. âYou can let anyone call you whatever you want, Santi.â The two worked in silence for a moment before Miguelâs phone buzzed. âDani says theyâll be gone for at least three hours ân that we can get to work now.â
âI still canât believe he didnât tell us âbout his birthday.â Santiago huffed as he stood up and followed his brother out of their apartment and to Dannyâs.
Miguel shrugged. âHe donât know ours. Maybe he donât like it?â
They could both understand that a bit. Birthdays were a touchy subject for them, maybe that was the case for Danny?
~~~
Danny was kind of oblivious a lot of the time, but that didnât mean he didnât know why his younger sister had dragged him out of his apartment for a multi-hour shopping trip on his birthday after very obviously not mentioning his birthday. He tried not to think too much about what the boys might have been dragged into back home while his sister buys anything she sees and likes.
To be fair, she really did need some stuff for her apartment, sheâd furnished it almost immediately after moving in, but she lacked decorations. Dani was a maximalist, she liked displaying her knick knacks from her trips around the world, covering every piece of furniture in pillows and blankets, and making the place feel overall, homey. Something Danny wasnât as good at.
(Where the hell did she get that from? It certainly wasnât him. His and the boyâs apartments were true testament to his lack of decorating skills and although heâd offered the boys many times to take them shopping for decorations and whatnot it seemed they felt similarly about the subject.)
âDanny come on!â Dani sighed dramatically. âYouâve been dragging your feet all dayyyy!â
With a scoff, Danny picked up the pace. Luckily theyâd already been shopping for a few hours and she had promised this was the last store. He froze when he saw the store. âI am not going in there with you.â
She rolled her eyes. âDonât be such a boy. Itâs just bras.â
âItâs not the bras- itâs shopping for bras for my sister. Not happening.â He was putting his foot down on this one. Dani shrugged and disappeared into the store for way longer than heâd expected. Finding a nearby bench to sit down on, Danny pulled out his phone.
Tim: Astronomy, huh?Â
Danny: Yeah its like the only thing Im good at
Danny: After science that is
Tim: And running a daycare apparently
Danny: In my defense I didnt know Id be good at that until I did it
Tim: Youâre telling me you just kind ofâŚ. Did it?
Tim: No thoughts?
Danny: Something like that
Tim: Dude. What the fuck
Danny: Okay, your turn. Hobbies?
The two had been talking on and off for the last week since Danny had reached out but they were both incredibly busy and often only sent a couple of texts a day. Daniâs impromptu shopping trip gave him a good excuse.
Tim: Skateboarding and photography
Danny: Thats so cool! I remember you said you were going skateboarding with your boyfriend?
Tim: Yeah one of them
One of them? Danny looked up for a moment, his brain rebooting to understand- what the fuck? He couldnât even get one partner and Tim had two?! How was that fair? Shaking his head, Danny responded.
Danny: Thats cool, does the other one not skateboard?
Tim didnât respond quickly enough before Dani came rushing out of the store with a large pink bag and a big smile. Danny put his phone away and picked up the myriad of of bags heâd been tasked with carrying throughout their shopping spree.Â
âIs that everything?â He asked, trying to keep the whine out of his voice.
She rolled her eyes, carrying only the bag from the last shop theyâd been to. âYes, Danny. We can go home now Ancients, youâre so impatient!â
âI donât know where you got your love of shopping from but it was not me!â He was just grateful they could fly home invisible and intangible and it wouldnât take long although it would take a bit longer than if he werenât weighed down by a dozen shopping bags.
They got to the apartment building a few minutes later, stopping in Daniâs apartment first to drop off the bags- he hadnât bought anything after all.Â
Dani set everything down then gave her brother a thoughtful look. âI wanna say hi to the boys.â
âOâŚkay?â Since when did she need his permission to say hi to the boys? Before he could ask sheâd grabbed his hand and dragged him from her apartment to his. She made a lot of noise trying to open the door instead of phasing through which was strange but Danny was tired.
As the door opened he noted that the lights were all off- maybe the boys were in their apartment? Now that he was thinking about it- hadnât they been at their place when he and Dani had left earlier? Why did she assume theyâd bein his-
âSURPRISE!â The lights flickered on as a chorus of voices shouted at him.
Startling slightly, Danny gained his bearings. Standing in his living room were the boys, Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Valerie, and Wes, all wearing party hats and smiling widely at him. He hadnât spent his birthday with anyone in a few years so he hadnât expected anything like this. He probably should have.
âHappy birthday, little brother!â Jazz exclaimed, pulling him into a tight hug.
âDude! You should have seen the look on your face!â Tucker laughed, joining in the hug Jazz had started. Sam joined too and for a moment Danny felt completely at peace.
Someone shoved through the tangle of limbs and bodies. âYeah yeah, happy birthday Nightingale.â Valerie scoffed.
âMan you didnât tell us you had kids!â Wes shouted from the couch.
Danny made his way into the living room and collapsed into an armchair, exhausted from the shopping. âThatâs because I donât.â He thought he caught a frown flit across Miguelâs face but he pressed on. âBut theyâre good kids and Iâm happy to talk about them. Is there food? Iâm starving?â He hoped getting the focus off of the boys would help them feel a bit more comfortable.
He wasnât exactly unhappy that everyone was visiting- he was incredibly grateful theyâd taken the time to come all this way and spend his birthday with him but he was worried. The boys had been forced to socialize with people they didnât know without anyone they knew there to act as a buffer. Sure theyâd met Jazz a few times, but they were more comfortable around Dani than they were around her.
Miguel especially didnât like when there was a lot of attention put on him.
âOf course there is! I brought a meat platter-â Tucker started.
âAnd I brought a veggie platter and vegan dip.â Sam cut in.
Valerie rolled her eyes. âI ordered pizzas- meat lovers and vegan.â
âI brought drinks!â Jazz offered.
Wes looked around. âWell shit- no one told me to bring anything! Besides I just got off a double shift at the Planet and drove her right after! I havenât even showered in two days!â
âSo thatâs what that smell is.â Danny smirked.
Overall, it was a success. The boys seemed to loosen up once everyone started eating and relaxing, Valerie played with the kittens (who were getting quite big at this point) while catching up with Jazz, and Wes was ranting about work.
âI mean- the guy âgets a few interviews with supermanâ and suddenly heâs like the go to guy! Heâs literally superman! That isnât investigative journalism! Itâs an autobiography!â Wes shouts, finishing his rant by stuffing the rest of the pizza in his mouth.
Sam snorts. âWes, come on, Clark Kent is not Superman.â
Wes gave her a Look. âThis is high school all over again! I told everyone I knew who Phantom was- and I was right!â Danny gave him a pointed look before glancing at the boys. âI know who Superman is, Iâm ninety-eight percent sure I know who each of the Gotham vigilantes are, Iâve got the Flashes figured out, and no one believes me!â
Miguel tilted his head. âWhoâs Phantom?â
Now youâve done it. Danny glares at his friend. âSmall town hero from our hometown. No oneâs seen him in years though so you couldnât possibly know who he is.â
Looking between the curious teenager and the possibly enraged eldritch being that could tear him apart with the snap of his fingers, Wes chose life. âYeah⌠youâre probably right.âÂ
Tucker and Sam laughed as Wes slunk to the kitchen to get more food. âDonât worry Wes! Iâm sure the Planet will recognize your brilliance soon and you can score your own interview with Clark Kent- sorry- Superman.âÂ
~~~
Turns out, Dani had only bought a bra so she could disguise her gift for Danny in a bag she knew he wouldnât carry for her. He hadnât expected gifts but upon opening them he couldnât have been more grateful. Jazzâs gift had been a yearly pass to the planetarium and observatory in downtown Gotham. She mentioned that he was allowed to bring one free guest with him every visit.
Sam, Tucker, and Valerie had gotten him a bunch of new space themed clothes, blankets, and books- including a new book heâd been debating getting for a while.
Wes promised his gift was coming but âit was a bit sensitive and heâd understand when it arrivedâ. That only worried Danny a lot.
Dani had gotten him the newest model of the Celestron telescope. There was no way a store was just carrying one of those, sheâd have to have ordered it specially. Turning it over he found his name engraved into it along with his favorite constellation. He almost cried.
(He did).
The cake was delicious, Miguel and Santiago ate more than Danny thought they should have (but he wasnât their dad and wasnât going to tell them to slow down) and ended up in a sugar coma for the rest of the evening. He moved them to his bed and closed the door so he and his friends wouldnât wake them (What? He didnât have to be their dad to take care of them like one).
âSo Danny,â Wes started. He was on one side of the couch, his legs on top of Tucker and Samâs laps who were leaning against each other. Jazz had taken his armchair from earlier with Dani sitting on the arm which left the spot next to Valerie on the loveseat. Ironic. âYou didnât tell us you had kids.â He repeated from earlier.
Sighing, Danny closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the headrest. âLike I said, they arenât my kids. I didnât just say that for their benefit or something.â
Everyone nodded slowly, giving each other looks, but Tucker spoke up. âSure, but like⌠you house them, clothe them, feed them, tutor them, love them, protect them⌠Thatâs kind of like a dad, no?â
âNot my dad.â Danny shot back nonchalantly.Â
Jazz winced. âBut like a dad should be.â She added quietly.
He thought about it for a moment. âIâm only five years older than Miguel-â
âDoes that really matter?â Valerie snorted.
Shooting her a look, Danny started again. âIâm only five years older than Miguel and nine years older than Santi but if I could legally adopt them and call them mine, I would. Itâs not like anything would change if I did, really. I wouldnât suddenly be overbearing or whatever, but I promised Miguel when he agreed to let me help them that I would not try to parent them. So Iâm not.Â
âIâm doing what I said I would. Clothing, feeding, housing them, thatâs easy, loving and protecting them is something I was going to do whether or not they agreed to let me help. But Iâm not going to call them my kids,â not out loud anyway. âIâm not going to⌠tell them they canât have more cake than they should or give them a curfew or ground them or- I⌠Iâm not going to parent them unless they outright ask for it.â He finished with a shrug.
The room was quiet for a moment.
âWho wouldâve guessed C+ average Nightingale would be the first with a prominent career and kids?â Valerie joked, elbowing Danny in the ribs.
The room erupted in laughter as everyone started bringing up different ideas of where they thought heâd be at twenty-two (twenty-three now) and it was definitely not âDaycare owner in Gotham with two pseudo kidsâ.
Once everyone had calmed down, Danny asked the question heâd been afraid of asking all afternoon. âWhen do you guys head out?â It had been so nice seeing his friends again, he hadnât realized how badly heâd missed them since moving to Gotham.
âWell- about that.â Sam chuckled. âI actually got a job under a prominent scientist Iâve been obsessed with since like- forever- so Iâll be moving to Gotham soon.â
âWhat? Sam thatâs- thatâs great!â Danny spluttered.
Tucker nodded. âObviously Iâm moving here too and Iâve got a job interview lined up with Wayne Industries.â
âYouâre joking.âÂ
His friends grinned, shaking their heads.Â
âYou mean, you two are going to live in Gotham?â They nodded. âJazz and Dani are already here, and Wes is just in Metropolis,â He turned to Valerie. âWhat do I have to do to get you out here?â
Raising an eyebrow, Valerie scoffed. âAs if Iâd move all the way to Gotham city New Jersey to be near you weirdos. Iâm only friends with you because my life was boring before.â
âSo youâre saying weâre exciting?â Dani chimed in.
âIâm saying thereâs never a dull moment with you weirdos.â
Danny shrugged, leaning into Valerie much to her dismay. âFour out of six isnât bad- plus Wes is within driving distance. But Iâll find a way to get you guys here. Just watch, Iâll climb the social ladder, own this city, and bribe you here with crazy good jobs.â
They all laughed. After all, that was a ridiculous notion.

Can we have more tea from the mansion? đđ
Click here for part 4, which has links to the other three parts
Some of the upstairs floors several years ago had not yet been reinforced (as they have in the present day), and so they were quite weak and fragile. Due to this, everyone was told to be careful and not do anything like roughhousing upstairs. Well, before the floors were reinforced, there were two specific instances. Firstly, Toby got a new pogo stick and Tim warned him NOT to use it upstairs. Toby did, in fact, use it upstairs and he ended up breaking through the ceiling. The second time, Sully and Jeff had gotten into a fight, and Sully suplexed Jeff into the floor, causing both of them to go through. Toby, Jeff, and Sully were required to partake in doing the renovations.
The only time LJ and Jason have ever really had a lasting fight was before one of Jason's galas. As I've said before, he attends many balls and galas in the Underworld so he can remain in the upper class in the Underworld. Well, for these he always dresses up to the nine's in very fancy and original outfits every single time. Before an important one, LJ and Jason were joking around, but as Jason was getting dressed he told Jack to calm down. Jack did not calm down, and he ended up accidentally breaking and spilling a bottle of red wine Jason was going to gift someone on Jason's outfit. Jason was the angriest Jack had ever seen him, and the two didn't speak for months because Jason was so upset, although they talked through it eventually.
Most of the residents have a variety of stuffed animals of some kind. When Sally feels lonely, sometimes she borrows some of their plushies before returning them because she's too shy to ask for them. If anyone notices a plushie is missing, Sally sneaks the plushie next to Smile Dog and says it was him. They all know it's actually Sally, but they don't want to make her upset so they always give Smile a fake lecture and some consolation treats after.
Slender has an incinerator on the property for disposal purposes on the side of the mansion, kind of close to it. When managed correctly this causes no issue, however, Toby one day through some stuff in there he shouldn't have. This caused the incinerator to light on fire, which almost caused the mansion to light on fire. Luckily the damage once they'd finished putting it out wasn't too bad thanks to the incinerator being on concrete, but had it been on the grass Toby would have started a forest fire. Everyone has now lost privileges of access to it and only Slender may use it.
When Jeff first came to the Underworld he was scared and nervous and that caused him to lash out a lot. However, he nearly gave Slender a heart attack one day because Jeff, having to meet Zalgo (as Zalgo is aware of all residents in the Underworld and needs to be aware of any other demons bringing in humans), was not really aware that Zalgo was the king of the Underworld. In fact, he looked up at him in all his anxiety and said, quite loudly and obnoxiously, "Who the fuck is this guy? Why do I have to meet him?" Slender nearly strangled him then and there, but it was pretty obvious Jeff regretted it the moment he said it and Zalgo thought it was funny. Zalgo still teases Slender about that instance to this day.

đĽ Tim Burton (him as a person or his aesthetic, your choice!)
"Beetlejuice" (1988) reminds me a lot of another film I watched recently; "Tombstone" (1993). Sold by an aesthetic and a FANTASTIC performance from a side character, audiences were conned into loving a mediocre film. I'm not Lindsey Ellis, so don't expect me to talk about the cartoon.
"Batman" (1989) and its sequel is proof that Burton will not be giving up his aesthetic for God or money. Gotham is heavily disconnected from both the film and its source material, with little reason other than its director. There's a reason no one calls these "Keaton's Batmans," they call them "Burton's Batmans." Jack Nicholson is great as The Joker, but that's no hot take. The hot take is that Devito is too horny as The Penguin, and it makes me uncomfortable for a film that's already so sexual.
"Edward Scissorhands" (1990) is a bitter, bitter film where artist finally meets muse. Not, like, in the plot, but in the production. Depp and Burton were made for eachother... or at least that's what I'm supposed to think. This movie's just too messy, however, and can't decide where its focal point lies and leaves me wishing I had just watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (2000) instead.
"Sleepy Hollow" (1999) leaves me, a fan of the original text, I know that's probably a weird thing to say, miffed, even if understanding. Outside of some pacing issues, it's a bold reimagining that feels like Burton attempting to get out of his comfort zone... but I just didn't need this story to be turned into an homage to B-horror. Go watch that Disney short, eh?
"Big Fish" (2003) is his best film. I am hardly qualified to speak on it, and even if I did, I would cry. So, you know, just go watch that shit.
"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (2005) is destined to be compared to "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" (1971), and why wouldn't it? In thirty-four years since the making of the original, not a single person worth listening to said "i need this done right," including Burton himself, which is why he tries to add so much, but no amount of additions changes the fact that he casted his muse instead of someone who could, you know, act like Wonka? So, you know, destined for failure and to be loved by everyone who won't watch movies made before 1987.
"Corpse Bride" (2005) is one of only two claymation films that Burton would actually direct, and he uses this time to steal a Jewish story and make it less Jewish. I don't like the ending or the songs and it feels like it could be cut in half and achieve the same effect.
"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" (2007) literally doesn't have the iconic opening number from the stage play??? Overall, there's rarely a pairing of source material and director that works as well as this one... If only I enjoyed the source material, eh? So dark, so bitter, so edgy, so... nothing. I never think about this movie. When I do, I think of Mrs. Lovett's dream sequence and remember the good old days of "Big Fish" (2003) when Burton liked to use color.
"Alice in Wonderland" (2010) is one of my guiltiest pleasures in all of film. It is the reason why every time Disney announces a live-action remake, my ears perk up. If all of them were as wild, unhinged, original, creative, and inspired as this one... Well, I think Disney might not be fucking bleeding money right now. No one ever even mentions that it's a sequel to the original animated film. A SEQUEL, not a remake. Sometime movie-goers surprise me with how little they think.
"Frankenweenie" (2012) blows. I don't care how unique it is, I do not like it.
"Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" (2016) is one of the funniest remnants of the teen dystopia genre. Like, it hardly applies, but is trying SO HARD that it's unbelievable. Also, props to Mr. "Black People Aren't My Aesthetic" for casting Samuel L. Jackson as a dude who eats white babies. (I do not mean that.) Seriously, this is proof that Burton, as a modern director, should no longer be taken seriously.
"Dumbo" (2019) is AAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHA I FUCKING HATE THIS DUDE HOLY SHIT
If I didn't mention, I haven't seen it. Yes, I know I skipped some big ones. I may watch them one day, but I am in no rush.

Ghost Helpline chapter 40
Secrets before dinner 3
Jack peered closely at the green vials, âNo way, you actually pulled off recreating a medical grade ecto degecto?!!â
âWhat like itâs hard?â This bitch.
Before the two could start another fight Ziyad placed their hand down on the little vamps shoulder. Ziyad took over the conversation quickly, âThis is great Wilbur, I assume were being given the test batch?â
âWell I cant just go around poisoning my patients now can Iďźâ the manic man laughed, âThough I suppose I can but that would be bad for business.â
Ziyad held back sighs, he admittedly hated working with Wilbur but this was for the greater good. Magical creatures (half breeds his mind unwontedly whispered to him) in the mortal world needed healthcare, and they surly werenât getting it. Trust came hard to them. Understandably. And while king Phantom was doing his best he couldnât be everywhere at once. And even if he could be there would always be a sour taste at accepting aide from royalty.
No instead people were more willing, happier even to seek out black market healing guilds like Wilburs. At least then you knew exactly what the catch is.
âIm sure your clientele appreciate it.â Ziyads smile stretched thin. He really hated working with Wilbur, âSpeaking of your clientele, when can I schedule my sister to see you?â
Ecto degecto was still in its infancy of being considered a universal blood type for magic kind, but for the death touched it was a necessity. A necessity they werenât even sure she needed or not. It would be best to check, and Wilburs guild was good at gathering info on his sisters illness. It probably helped that their family paid him so well. Ziyad thought as he bit the inside of his cheek raw.
â- â- ââ
Tims heart raced, his sister? His sister?!!! Tim could sill remember the first time he saw the Masters family. The were all gathered about laughing and smiling. They looked so happy.
She looked happy, wheelchair bound and attempting to run her siblings down.
Heâd been jealous. Jealous and sad. And suddenly any thoughts of Vlad Masters being some up and coming big bad had disappeared from his mind and he sold his old empty house on the spot. As if the money could somehow be as warm as that laughter.
No no after that first meeting he never suspected Vlad Masters.
He should have suspected his son. Tim grimaced at his own sense of vindication. Guess there not such a happy family after all.
â â- ââ
Jason was actually properly shocked at what he heard. âŚWas âŚ..was this guy EXPERIMENTING on his sister!!! Green threaded to swallow him whole, how dare he! How dare he hurt someone like that! Hurt his family! Hurt a kid.
Holy shit the kid!
Was the kid his sister?? They needed to intervene now!
This sick fuck is going down.
â- â- â-
Jack wasnât named after anyone in particular. Violet had renamed him far before she had met the Masters family. Far before they knew. /that/ story. Before any of the kids knew about any of the stories that came before them and by then the name Jack had stuck. But being called Red, even as a code name, felt special in its own way.
Violet and Red like a ridiculous beautiful color combination a pair idiots would make up. And they did. Violet, Konstelacio and Red, Jack. The first time around he had been named Jack because it was common, grounding, easy to play off as foreigner trying to fit in. It was practical. But Red? Red was like roses and hearts and blood and Violet. Like being renamed to compliment her entirely. It made him feel secure.
Now if only it also wasnât also so common.
âItâs Red â-Redââ!â
What ?
All Jack heard was his own name as he tripped over the side of a table clutching his stomach as a bullet wizzed by. Crying out as the bond between him and Violet chooses right then and there to flare up terribly.
âRed!â
âKid! Oh my gods they shot Red!â
â- â- â-
Ziyad feels something off. Gotham was full of shades and shadows and spirts. He had grown use to the felling of being watched but this felt different. Different he scoured the warehouse turning his eyes up the window just as glass shatters to the ground, damn it, âIts Red Hood and Red Robin!! Get down!â He cant reach Jack before he falls yelping in pain clutching his side, he can hear Wilburs yell clearly too clearly, âKid! Oh my gods! They shot Red!â
Heâll think about how horrible he is later. Later in bed heâll think about what Reds blood hands and never seeing that kid in the kitchen at fucking midnight ever again. How heâd never get to hear him and â argue over mechanics and science ever again. Later heâll think about how lucky they all are to not be mortal. Later, later Ziyad will tear himself apart over his piss poor decision making.
But in the moment all he can think about as he sees the kid get shot is, âshit, Violets never going to forgive me.â
He doesnât think at all as Red Hood rounds closer to them, doesnât pull back his punch because whoever this guy is he is most defiantly not mortal. Not anymore. And while Ziyad might not be a halfa, he is also defiantly not mortal. He doesnât think and punched Red Hoods helmet hard enough to crack it.
â- â- â-
Jason is momentarily thrown at the shout of âOh my gods! They shot Red!â Whipping his head around to look at Tim. Tim whose throat he cut, Tim who he hurt and ignored and mistreated. He looks for only a second and a second is all the man needs to get one over on him.
Gripping his head Jason dodges a kick rights himself back up. The kid is on the floor behind them, shes on the floor. Just like Tim. Jason hadnât been aiming at her. He didnât mean to.
Swing. The bastard doesnât let up for a minute and it takes too long for him to realize the space growing between them and the kid until its to late. Beanie guy throwing various liquids at Red Robin as he yanks the pink teen up harshly and makes a dash for it. Whatever he threw at Tim is turning to smoke, odviscating his view of the man heâs fighting.
All he can see is green eyes. All Jason can hear is Tim choking on smoke. On his own blood. On the blood Jason put there.
Oh it is on!
â- â- ââ
The vigilantes take stalk of their surroundings. The men had run off with the case of lazerous water but several crates remained, Marked with letters SBS. Tim walked over to the closest one, he had work to do.
He does his best to block out the sound of Jason behind him, he cant do this right now. He cant. Focus on the case. Focus on the case. This was way bigger than the initial drug ring he assumed it would be and he needed as much info as he could get.
âI need an explanation Tim! And I need one now.â He heard his brother growled out, lovely.
Ignoring his questions he pried the top of the box open. What the hell. What the actual hell? This wasnât drugs or lazerous water this was so much worse.
âJason shut up.â
âFuck no you -â
âJason shut up and look.â
The crate was insulated, cold. And filled with blood bags.

Payton Armstrong at MMFA:
Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to address a group of extreme right-wing media âprophetsâ and pastors who have claimed that âdemonic forcesâ are behind the popularity of the Harris campaign, declared that Trump is âanointed to be king,â and said that Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and vice presidential candidate Tim Walz âgo to churches that are synagogues of Satanâ because they are Baptist and Lutheran. The 11th Hour Faith Leaders Meeting, scheduled for October 21 in North Carolina, is apparently being organized by Clay Clark, co-founder of the ReAwaken Tour, which holds events across the country that have featured QAnon influencers, pro-Trump âprophets,â Christian nationalists, and figures who have praised Hitler. Clark has promoted numerous conspiracy theories, including that Trumpâs son-in-law, Jared Kushner, may have been replaced by a clone created by the Chinese government and that the U.S. government created or worsened Hurricane Helene through âweather manipulation.â
Clark revealed in a recent interview that Eric Trump had asked him to organize the event because âwe need to get together the nonwackadoodles.â âThat was the phrase Eric used, ânonwackadoodles,ââ said Clark, âthe serious faith leaders, the people that are actually committed to saving this country. And he said, âClay, we need to get them together, my father needs to be able to address this community.ââ He added that the event is âan invitation-only thingâ and âwe're vetting everybody very carefully.â
Clark claimed in an interview with Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec (who also stated during the interview that he will attend the event) that âof the faith leaders and the pastors that are committed to coming to this event â which is an invite-only, you canât buy a ticket â so far, we have over 300 million YouTube subscribers represented in the audience, so that means we have some of the biggest, needle-moving pastors and faith leaders that are coming from all across America to hear directly from Donald J. Trump.â Although a list of attendees does not seem to be publicly available, Clark has suggested multiple pro-Trump âprophetsâ and outlets will be in attendance and even speaking alongside Trump. Promoting the event, Clark said that âsome of America's leading pastors will be in attendance â people like Jonathan Cahn, Mark Driscoll, Robin Bullock. I mean, it's going to be incredible. Steve Shultz, ElijahStreams.â Clark also noted in a separate interview that âprophetâ Amanda Grace would be in attendance.
[...] Since Donald Trump left office, he and his family and allies have increasingly engaged with and embraced extreme prophetic media, including figures who have asserted that Trump has been âanointedâ by God. Clark even bragged last year that âTrumpâs inner circle is embracing the prophets.â Members of Trump's âinner circleâ also appeared at another event organized by Clark on October 18. The two-day event is also supposed to feature right-wing commentators who have pushed the conspiracy theory that Hurricane Helene was a controlled or manipulated weather event.
Today, Donald Trump is set to address a cadre of far-right Christian Nationalists at the 11th Hour Faith Leaders Meeting hosted by conspiracist dingbat and ReAwaken America Tour co-founder Clay Clark.

Proxies x reader NSFW HCs
alot of these scenes will actually most likely end up in this story im writing lmao, so stick around if you want to see them fleshed out
Let's get the obvious beginner out of the way.
Toby is a tits man, Brian likes ass, and Tim is happy with whatever (he likes tits more he just doesn't want to be rude)
Now, let's start with Toby
Toby is the most submissive bottom you will meet in your life.
Has slipped a bit too far into subspace a few times, and you've had to stop immediately once you realized.
Motherfucker just wants to be dommed and dommed hard. Just tell him what to do, please.
Has the biggest fucking mommy kink (which contributes to his love for tits because the motherfucker will lavish those bitches like no other when given the chance)
Also has the biggest praise kink you will ever see. Has came embarrassingly fast because you called him your good boy.
99 percent of his knowledge of sex comes from porn so,, he's going to have to be retaught most everything.
Has definitely groped your tit too hard on multiple occasions because he thought it was the right thing to do.
Surprisingly good learner, though. Just wants to make you happy.
He's the best one for quickies out of all of them only because he cums extremely fast while still prioritizing you.
(He makes up for how fast he cums by how many times he can do it. Motherfucker will paint you white all over before his body gives out. Plus, his CIPA makes it to where he can't feel the burning in his legs as he fucks you for hours. Has literally kept going until his body gave out because you wanted him to.)
All the boys have very specific thoughts on oral. Toby will give or receive, whichever makes you happier, but when he's allowed to go down on you, it's like you're his last meal.
It's one of the only time's he'll disobey your commands because it doesn't matter if you've already came three times??? He's still eating, lady, shhh.
Tried to dom one (1) time. Not doing that again. Dude started crying half-way through because he thought he was hurting you and your feelings by ordering you around.
You had to pause and take a bath with him afterwards while he calmed down. He spent half the bath blubbering into your neck and apologizing more times than you could count.
Now, Brian is the exact opposite of Toby.
You asked to try and let him be the bottom a single time and he fucked you so hard you couldn't walk the next day.
A little shithead who loves blowjobs. Will give you head, but much prefers you on your knees with him stuffed so far in that heâs tapping the back of your throat and youâre gripping his thighs while he uses you for nothing more than his pleasure in the moment.Â
Will mix degradation in with praise like he's been doing it his entire life. Has given you whiplash multiple times because of it.
He's so loud, too. Toby is whiny and begs, but this dude is in your ear with low grunts and groans, his voice spilling the foulest words he can think of.
Has you seeing stars while mumbling into your neck shit like "your pretty little pussy's taking me so well - like you were built to be my cocksleeve. Just a cumslut who takes whatever I give you. Look at you, all fucked out of your mind, pretty little baby. Can't wait to paint your fuckin' insides. It's what whores like you deserve."
He's also the best at aftercare, though. You normally have to take care of Toby after, and Tim does jack shit unless needed.
Brian, though, has his dresser packed with shit to take care of you with after. Will bathe you, dress you, tell you little reassurances, make sure you're okay.
He's also best at knowing when to stop. He can sense your hesitation as if he's the one feeling it.
Because of his dirty mouth, he's had to break off sessions early a few times. The biggest was when you started crying halfway through him fucking you missionary, and not the kind of crying he liked (because let's be real, this motherfucker loves to see you cry and beg to cum.)
He had called you a whore a few too many times through the session, and you had taken it a bit too close to heart (it was something that hit a bit harder than needed since you were dating multiple men at once.)
He spent the whole night cuddling you and reassuring you that he didn't really mean it. He loved you, they all did, it was just for the roleplay. "Stop crying, pretty baby, we're okay. I'm not actually mad. Let me see a smile, c'mon, doll."
Also, let me mention that because y'all are so fucking loud, Tim has banged on the door quite a few times trying to get you to calm down.
Tim made the mistake of grumbling to himself during dinner one time in front of you and Brian that 'you're so fucking loud it sounds like you're recording a goddamn porno in there.'
If you hadn't been choking on your food so hard, you might have noticed the sly grin that crossed Brian's face, though it was brought back later when he ended up filming you quite a few times from that night. It wouldn't be posted anywhere - fuck that, you were theirs, and no one else's.
(he did accidentally share a video of you cumming to the group chat all four of you were in on accident while sending cute pictures of the two of you. The mortification of hearing your moans come through the speaker of Toby's phone while he stared at it dumbfounded was enough for you to not talk to Brian for a whole week. It didn't matter if they had seen you like that before, it was still embarrassing!)
(Brian didn't tell you that the other two - Tim especially - had been sent worse videos than that.)
SPEAKING OF TIM.
Let's get started with this man. Tim is the laziest motherfucker known to man but it is nice.Â
Really, heâs not lazy, heâs just tired a lot, and he doesnât want to put the effort in the fuck you senseless when youâve got two others for that.Â
He prefers sleepy fucking where youâre both half-out-of-it and breathless. He enjoys both of you on your sides with him spooning you, his hips moving just enough to give enough friction for the both of you to cum after a while. You can and will fall alseep right after with him still buried inside of you.
Speaking of, whatâs the best way to get yâallâs sexual tension out while still being lazy (besides just making you ride him which he does very often) ? Cockwarming.Â
He wonât even just do it in bed when itâs the two of you. Heâs shimmied his pants down just enough for his cock to slip out and pushed your panties aside (since you were only wearing an oversized shirt and underwear. I mean, what did you think would happen?) and made you sit on him in the middle of the living room while the other two were lounging around, too distracted to notice.Â
However, if someone does notice (Especially in the beginning because you were horrible at hiding your flushed cheeks and heavy breathing from understimulation) he would not hide it.
âH-hey, y/-y/n, whatâs-sss-s with the f-fa-face?â Toby had asked innocently one night while you were all watching TV together. You knew Tim was smirking behind you as he lifted the hem of the big shirt just enough to let Toby know what was going on. Boy blushed so hard and covered his eyes, smacking his face harshly in the process, and Tim and Brian snickered (because of course Brian already knew.)
Cockwarming also means that the second you finally - finally - start fucking, itâs over for the two of you in less than a minute, your fingers clawing at him as you finally get your release after hours. (the longest heâs made the two of you wait was four hours because weâre watching Tobyâs favorite movies, we canât interrupt him, now can we, darlinâ?â
Heâs also a huge fan of facesitting. Not the biggest fan of receiving blowjobs only because it makes him feel too vulnerable, but he could have you sit on his face for hours and not complain, his hands gripping your ass tight enough to leave bruises as he laved his tongue over your clit over and over.Â
The only - only - times Tim has fucked you rough was when it wasnât even really him. You had been half-asleep with your back to him one time as he rutted into you slowly when you suddenly felt yourself flipped so you were ass up with your face being pushed into the mattress, his hips jutting at a speed you didnât know he could reach.
You didnât even have to look back to know that Masky - his alter that didnât show himself too often around you - had taken over.Â
During getting fucked that time by Masky, you ended up so deep in subspace, trying to please the man you didnât get too see that often that you let him him rip orgasm after orgasm from you until you couldnât think straight and you entered a space where all you felt was pleasure, and you couldnât even see straight.
You were brought out of it by Tim pressing a cold rag to your forehead, whispering sweet nothings to you as he tried to get you to come to, apologizing profusely for letting it happen. You had just grinned and - though your voice was thoroughly fucked up from screaming - told him to let Masky know he could do that again any time. Tim had gotten so flustered that he walked out of the room for a few minutes.Â
Speaking of alters real quick.
Tim and Brian are the only ones to have them - Masky and Hoody respectfully, of course - and they come out around you very little. Hoody comes out more than Masky though, and you can tell the difference in how quiet Brian will get.Â
Hoody and Masky have fucked you both separately and together (so have Tim and Brian but weâll get to that in a second)
Masky loves you ass and prefers to have you in doggystyle over anything while Brianâs love for blowjobs is only intensified in his alter who will have you gagging on him until you almost pass out. Heâll give you a moment to breathe in just a second, just hold on a little longer, okay?
Hoody is almost always silent besides grunts that let him communicate with Masky. This is apparent even when youâre not fucking, and the three of you have to teach yourselves how to decipher the manâs made up language.Â
Masky is quiet too, but will grumble to himself more than anything, calling you the worst nameâs he can think of while he slams into you so hard that you donât even have to move yourself to give Hoody a proper blowjob, his grip on your hips and force of his thrusts are enough to have you bouncing back and forth quickly.Â
Itâs not like you could really move anyways, not when Maskyâs picking you up by your thighs and holding your hips up as he plows into you.
They love spitroasting but have definitely done double penetration even if you complain that youâre not prepped. Who cares? Youâre obviously ready for it, look at you already cumming even though they havenât moved.Â
Now, as for threesomes and or foursomes
Nine times out of ten, Toby is too embarrassed to do anything in front of the other two. Maybe if you coax him enough, reassure him that nobody will judge, he might join in for the night, but itâs an incredibly rare occurrence. Watching Brian boss you around is enough to make him squirm. You were supposed to be in change, not him? But there you were with your tongue sticking out as you rolled your hips against Tim, ready to fit either of them in your mouth. The other can always take another hole.Â
Toby not wanting to join doesnât really both the other two though, and though itâs still not as common to have a threesome compared to one on one, Tim and Brian are always ready to share. Especially when you look so pretty whining into the air as you take both of them at once.Â
You donât mind if Brian takes a few photos, right? I mean, just look at you! This is a perfect moment to capture. Ignore the fact that youâre now Timâs home screen, your pretty tits out in the open as his cock is buried inside of you, Brianâs hand gripping the flesh of your hip. Why wouldnât he want to see it all the time?
The same applies to them as their alters. Spitroasting is their absolute favorite, though Tim prefers it if you ride him while you slobber all over Brian instead of him having to use his energy to fuck you into oblivion.Â
They love double penetration as well, but once they tried to fit both of them in your pussy instead of one in your ass and you came so hard that you passed out. Itâs brought out on special occasions after a l o t of prep.
really, overall. you have a boy for whatever mood you're in and you're literally never horny because the second you mention it someone is on top of you.

Teen Titans #29
So, one of my favorite types of fics to read is Different First Meeting fics between Jason and Tim. I looooove reading Enemies To Caretaker, of which I fed handsomely on fairly recently. Big Brother Jason fics give me warm fuzzies, and Tim Drake needs a hug, and I feel like if these two actually got to know each other and worked past their preconceptions, theyâd get along surprisingly well. And Still A Jason!Robin Fanboy Tim Drake is just a fun concept.Â
Also, it just FEELS right for the middle siblings to band together after Damian comes along, lets get those abandonment issues in the party.Â
So, for mysterious and very secret TimKon Week 2021 reasons, I was rereading some Teen Titans, and I stumbled over the Original Tim+Jason First Meeting, and I just sort of wanted to talk about some interesting things I found in there rereading it after several years.Â
First thing right off the bat, when reading fics, normally itâs either the Core Four at the tower that Jason puts to sleep, or itâs Tim alone for the night. In the comic, none of Timâs close friends are even at the tower, Jason waits for Bart and Cassie to leave, and Conner actually hasnât come around for an in-universe month, because this is after the Superboyâs Birthright arc where Lex mind controls Conner.Â
The people Jason knocks out were his own teammates when he was a Titan. He specifically says he never got to work with Beast Boy or Cyborg directly, so he doesnât feel bad electrocuting them, but he feels bad putting Raven under much more gently because she used to worry for him.Â
Tim has just gotten off the phone with Bruce when Jason shows up. It seems like Bruce mightâve been picking Tim up, but somethingâs come up with Martian Manhunter going missing, so Tim tells him heâll catch a ride with Cyborg.Â
This is actually really interesting to me, because itâs a small moment of Bruce letting Tim down. Itâs a conversation heâs probably had with his biological father many times when Jackâs canceled on him.Â
Gonna acknowledge this abomination real quick. This is So Stupid, and Iâm glad as a fandom we just all agreed Jason didnât do this. It makes me ask so many questions. Where did he get that oversized Robin costume? Whyâd he tear off his perfectly good clothes? Why did he do this? Why the yellow tights? WHY?Â
A lot of things are actually happening here that are actually Really Interesting if you just look past the stupid fucking outfit. Because this comic actually flew really close to greatness, they just ended up dropping the ball by not continuing to do more with it.Â
First off, Jason doesnât beat around the bush. Heâs immediately like âyeah, yeah, yeah, Red Hood, whatever, Iâm Jason Todd, bitch! Fight me.âÂ
Secondly, Jasonâs done his homework. He knows A LOT about Tim. He knows his name, he knows he has a dad, he knows he went to prep school, and he knows the story of how Tim became Robin. How he GOT that last bit of information, Iâd honestly like to know. But even HAVING the information isnât enough; heâs still letting his preconceived ideas get in the way. The surface level information about Timâs life only served to fuel his jealousy and anger (thanks, Lazerus Pitt!). Heâs so focused on Timâs privilege that heâs looked past evidence of hardship; if heâs done this much research on Tim, heâs no doubt seen records of multiple boarding schools, lengthy travel records, news reports, a death certificate.... He canât even bring himself to BELIEVE parts of Timâs story that arenât lining up with his world view, like HOW he became Robin.Â
Jason has convinced himself that what heâs discovered about Tim and the period of time when Jason was dead - the fact that Bruce was spiraling after his death, that his family mourned him, that Tim had to step up to the plate at a weird suicide prevention buddy system - is all a lie. Despite the fact that heâs beating Timâs ass, he speaks to him with the assumption that Timâs a child whoâs been manipulated and lied to.Â
Meanwhile, it must be SO PAINFUL for Tim to hear Jason say these things: I bet he said the same thing to you he said to me, didnât he? That you have the talent to make a difference in Gotham. That he needed someone he could trust in his war on crime. That you were one of a kind. The light in his darkness.
Bruce never said any of that to Tim. Bruce rejected Tim, he didnât want Tim, and begrudgingly accepted Tim.Â
Going back to Jason waiting for Timâs other young teen friends to leave the tower before going in, only drugging his own former teammates, is much of his anger seems directed at THEM, not just Bruce. To Jason, it looks like they didnât mourn him either, he has no statue. I find it interesting that he smashes Donna Troyâs statue, who died after him, and I believe she came back before he did.Â
Unless he was keeping track of the news from the League of Assassins, to Jason, Donna never died.Â
And most importantly? Tim shuts Jason down. Tim âBitch, Pleaseâ Drake out here like: youâre a fucking idiot, he loved you to death, he barely let me audition for the role.Â
Tim shows some deep resentment towards Jason in this scene. I mean... earned, Jason literally came into his house and starting hitting him, but Timâs relationship towards the Idea Of Jason has gone through a few changes. At first Jason was ROBIN! THE BOY WONDER! And if maybe Tim thought Bruce wasnât AS happy with Jason as he was with Dick, there was still SOME hero worship early on. But it only takes Bruce and Alfred and Dick using Jasonâs death as a cautionary tale a few times to get Tim to see Jason AS a cautionary tale - the kind of Robin NOT to be. But the more Tim craved Bruceâs paternal attention and approval, and the more Bruce withheld it or made Tim work for it, knowing that Bruce did that, in part, because of his love and grief for his dead son (Tim having an actual living breathing father plays a part, too), and those feelings towards Jason have started to fester.
Jason canât let it go, though, he thinks the concept of Robin was a mistake and had always been a mistake, and if he can hurt Tim, so can Scarecrow, Penguin, The Joker.Â
This is a good time to bring up that one thing I think Jason probably doesnât know is Tim is injured. It is a little over a month since since Conner shattered Timâs right arm. Tim is still healing from a comminuted fracture in his forearm. And looking at this picture that is - ah, yes, that is the injured arm Jason is swinging Tim by. Tim is probably healed by now, the cast IS off and heâs a child, but bones donât fully return to full strength for 3-6 months.Â
Jason is conflicted. This is clearly, in part, a fucked up way of âprotectingâ what he sees as a manipulated child, to convince him to leave Bruce. But thereâs also clearly some deep, deep jealousy thrown into the mix to complicate matters and cloud his judgement. Ultimately, Jason isnât there to kill Tim. Tim would be dead if he was. Heâs there to âbeat some sense into him,â and he ultimately fails, and fails badly.Â
Tim is found by the older Titans, awake by now, though it seems Jason knocked him out to, uh, fuck with the memorial chamber, and Tim... does not beat around the bush. No secret identities here just âyeah, Jason Todd beat the shit out of me.âÂ
And their reactions are HILARIOUS.Â
One more little sidebar, in the comic, Jason gets in with a D.N.A. check that never removed him from its permissions. Usually in fic this is a unique pass code. Iâm not sure which version I like better, honestly. Thereâs something about Jason physically inputting a code that accepts him even though heâs supposedly dead that I really like, and just feels better than a dna scan. A dna scan sounds SAFER, sure, but thereâs something about the Titans leaving in an honest SECURITY RISK out of sentiment that I like.Â
Lastly, I really like how it ends. Jason honestly thinks Tim IS a good Robin, and it seems like Jasonâs done some research on the core four, mentioning Timâs âreal friendsâ again while the âcameraâ is on Conner and Cassie, suggesting that Jason KNOWS about them and possibly that targeting the tower while they were gone maybe wasnât an accident or out of convenience, but fully intentional. And again, Jasonâs real problem is highlighted: he feels alone, forgotten, unmemorable, no family, no friends.Â
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.Â

Just One Mission (Agent Jack âWhiskeyâ Daniels x Champagneâs Daughter!Reader)
Inspo: I Like It, I Love It by Tim McGraw
Summary: Your father, Champ, runs Statesman, and youâre his best- and only- female agent. Your normal partner, Tequila, is out, leaving you with another agent. Normally this would be fine, but itâs with Whiskey, who practically ignores you, despite the fact that youâre crushing hard on him. Youâre sent to the county fair to track an undercover bad guy under the guise of being a couple for your latest mission, and it starts to feel more and more like something is happening, not just between your fictional couple.
WC: 5.1k
Warnings: language, obvious mentions of alcohol (this is Statesman after all)
A/N: Can I get a yeehaw for our favorite cowboy? Biggest of thank yous to @remmysbounty for helping me name this!
âYou canât be serious. Why canât anything ever be straightforward around here? Why do I always have to go play make-believe?â You asked, pushing your glasses back up your nose to clarify his hologram. You move from where you stand, against the window showing the New York skyline, to walk towards the meeting table.
Champ gives a chuckle, as if he knows everything. Of course he does. Heâs your boss and he never fails to make that known. âYou came into this job knowing youâd be doing undercover work, Amaretto,â Champ says with a pointed look. You bite down on your lip to avoid cussing and look down to avoid his eyes. âPlus, youâre our best. And our only lady.â
âWhose fault is that?â you grumble, crossing your arms. Normally it doesnât bother you much, but today you wished more women worked in the field. âWhy canât I go with Tequila? Him and I work well together, you know that,â you ask, hating your voice and your tone. You sound like a whiny teen complaining to her dad. Honestly, it was close enough, and maybe even worse: you were a fully grown woman complaining to her dad.
Your father, Champ, sighs and removes his hat. âFor Godâs sake, âRetto. Tequilaâs mission has been extended. Iâm sorry to tell you that Agent Whiskey will be your partner for just one mission, for one night.â
âDad, I-â
âThatâs Champ when youâre in here, Amaretto,â he chides, which makes you groan and plop down on an office chair, kicking your legs up onto the table and crossing them. âItâs a small mission. You can handle it. Whiskeyâll treat you right.â
As much as you didnât want to admit it, you knew you could handle it. You would be more than fine pretending to be Whiskeyâs sweetheart for the evening. It was what came after that you didnât want. You had known Jack for a while now, and had been hiding a crush ever since the man first entered your life.Â
You had been a Statesman ever since your father revealed to you that he wasnât just the head of the Kentucky distillery- he was the head of a spy organization under the same name. Your career here hadnât been long, but you were already proving that the skills must run in the family. You were the first female field agent, had a perfect mission record, and no unnecessary kills or injuries. That impressed Jack as much as the rest of the facility, maybe even more. You were a stunning and sharp woman with brains to match.Â
As much as Whiskey wanted to flirt with you, to tell you just what he thought of you, he held back. Your father held his job by a string. In order to hold back everything he thought, he kept a distance. You were the only woman in the company Whiskey didnât flirt with. âHe hates me,â you say sharply to your father, telling him what you really thought Whiskeyâs opinion of you was. He complimented every woman around him, but he actively avoided you. When you had talked in the past, it was brief and he had always found an excuse to leave. How else could you take that?
âProbâly just jitters around the bossâs girl,â your father drawls, and you want to scream and shout and throw a temper tantrum. âBesides, you both have roles. Neither of you have to be yourself.â
Stopping you before you can launch into a rant, a knock comes at the meeting room door. You look and- speak of the devil- Whiskey peeks his head in, finding you alone in the meeting room. âSorry. Heard ya talking, you in a meeting?â
Your father laughs as he hears the manâs voice. âTell him to put on the glasses,â he tells you, only audible through your earpiece. You relay the message to him and once Jackâs glasses are on, he straightens a little, addressing your father. âGood to see you, Whiskey. Just telling Amaretto about the mission,â Champ tells him, and you roll your eyes.
âRight, that mission. Next week?â He asks, clarifying, eyes darting to you briefly before finding your father again.
âYou got it.â A knock comes at the meeting room in Kentucky, and your father turns for a moment, then back to the two of you. âGingerâs callinâ. Talk to you later, darlinâ, and you too, Whiskey.â He takes off his glasses and the image of him disappears.Â
You remove your legs from the table, swiveling your chair and removing your glasses. âHow exciting, huh?â You ask dryly, eyes finding Whiskeyâs. âThe hottest week of the summer and heâs sending us to Alabama to spend a night outside.â
Jack chuckles a little, your sarcasm penetrating through the shield he has up specifically to deflect you. âAt the county fair, no less. Couldnât these idiots set up shop in a refrigerated warehouse?â He sighs, adjusting his hat.Â
Tearing your eyes from him, you look out of the impressive window instead. âSure to be a fun time,â you shake your head. He looks so handsome, and it makes you want to punch something. âWhy my father loves to put me in these situations, Iâll never know. Heâd never do this to Julep,â you lament. âI must be the expendable kid.â
âJulep is 17,â Whiskey reminds you, raising a brow. âYouâre the only one of age, and youâre probably the only competent one too. He showed me a video of RosĂŠ at the gun range and good Lord, how the hell did a man like that birth something so clumsy?â
âWhy do you know so much about my sisters?â You ask him, tilting your head.Â
âYour father never shuts up about âem. He shows them off constantly,â he shrugs. âShows us videos, pictures. Even knew plenty about you before you came.â You raise an eyebrow at that, and he shakes his head quickly. âBarely anything personal. Hell, I donât know your real name. Heâs never called you or your sisters anything but your nicknames.â
You stand, gathering the folder you brought into the room with you. âWell, thatâs a comfort. Iâm not Champâs daughter, Iâm Agent Amaretto, and thatâs the way Iâd like to keep it,â you say, your voice slipping away from sharp and into flirtation. Whiskeyâs deadpan slips into a smile and you press the folder into his chest as you walk past him, and out of the room. The smile grows wider as he turns to follow you.
-
Whiskey was right. Itâs the hottest week of the summer, the August heat making you feel sticky and swollen, and youâre in Alabama. Disgusting. You look in the mirror and groan as you look at yourself. You were told that you and Jack need to blend into the atmosphere of the county fair, and you sighed.Â
The past week, the two of you had prepped for your mission, slowly melting the thick layer of ice that subdued both your crush and his flirtation. He had slowly slipped into his regular self around you, which you didnât notice. You didnât know the real him. You had become more of yourself too; less sharp, more smiles, even a few laughs at his terrible southern euphemisms and adages. He finally called you darlinâ and sugar and sweet thing, and you felt your face warm more than it should. You let your walls down by the time you got on the plane, joking around with him and making actual conversation. During the flight, the two of you had enjoyed picking cover names, deciding on Beau and Jolene Pruitt, a newly married couple. Both were native Alabamians with thick drawls, not that it would be out of character for Jack.
Getting to wear casual clothing around that man excited you far more than it should, and you had spent a stupid amount of time picking out something that would fit in but also look nice. The wardrobe women had packed you plenty of options to mix and match from, and you settled on something that seemed to be a mix between your cover and yourself. You wore short denim cutoffs, ripped and distressed, with cowboy boots to match. You also wore a white tank top and a red, white, and blue flannel, either to be worn open or tied around your waist. A large gold cross pendant rested on your cleavage, as many women around here similarly had. It was imperative that neither you nor Whiskey could be recognized, and you had been given a wig of thick hair the opposite of your natural color, plaited into two French braids that were long and ended around your waist. No mission was complete without your gold, wire-rimmed Statesman glasses.Â
You have to admit, you enjoy this look, minus the gaudy jewelry. You get to show off a little bit more than you normally would, and you secretly hope Whiskey may up his flirtation with you. Youâre recognizable to someone who would know you, but the change of hair color and the glasses are a solid cover-up. You snap a picture in the mirror, sending it off to the ladies in the wardrobe department. you ladies spoil me- I love getting to look cute for a change!
The women reply a moment later with a picture of all of them. Youâre always cute, sugar! Show that man what heâs missing!
So, maybe you had confided to the wardrobe ladies that you found Jack attractive. Who didnât? They agreed, but all showered you with attention and insisted you should make a move on this mission. You had said no, but they had hounded you over and over until you told them yes. It was a lie, but they didnât need to know that.
A knock comes at your hotel door, and you smile before you can stop yourself. You force yourself to drop it, tossing one of the braided tails over your shoulder, and open the door. âWell there, Beau,â you drawl as you see Whiskey, but you stop and laugh a little as you scan his body.Â
His reaction is the exact same, after a brief scan of your outfit. You both break into laughter. Jack is wearing cowboy boots, jeans, a white t-shirt, and a flannel with a different pattern but the same colors- red, white, and blue. âStealing my thunder with the outfit, I see. Are you going to put your costume on or what?â You ask teasingly, and he shakes his head.Â
âBelieve it or not, Jolene, this is my costume. Seems the only different thing about being Beau is my name.â He grins wide at you, adjusting his similarly gold-rimmed aviators that rest beneath his classic Stetson.Â
You shake your head but smile. âWhy am I not surprised?â You tease, turning and grabbing your phone and the large bulletproof purse youâd be carrying tonight. âThe ladies in the wardrobe department are going to love this,â you chuckle, and then freeze for a second.Â
They did this on purpose.Â
Whiskey has the same thought as you. He had confided in the ladies in the wardrobe department that he found you absolutely stunning but unattainable, due to the fact that your father was the control of his⌠everything. They had chattered excitedly, telling him that he should make his move on the mission too. He had done the exact same as you- said yes, but as an appeasement. âWell, they sure are. Weâll have to get someone to take a picture of us while weâre there.â
You nod, your heart skipping a beat at the fact that he wants a photo of this. Itâs just for the mission, of course, you tell yourself and brush it off. âOh, and thatâll be perfect cover. Of course these two would want a photo taken of them. We can do it right in front of the marks- better yet, we can ask them to take the picture,â you chuckle happily and sling the heavy purse over your body.Â
âOr we can take a picture now,â he chuckles, nodding to the mirror you just took a picture in a moment ago.
âSure,â you nod and lead him over to it. âUh⌠smile?â You laugh and hold out your flannel for the photo. Jack makes finger guns and gives the camera a seductive face in the mirror, making you laugh. âJesus, I thought you were the smooth agent.â
âSmoother than you. Youâre smooth like a gravel road in a dry spell, look at that pose,â he says and zooms in on the picture. âPose like you have some confidence in that pretty little head, honey,â he teases. âCopy me.â He makes the same pose, and you mimic it, taking a picture before bursting out laughing. âMuch better,â he nods as he looks at the image. âBetter send me that,â he nudges your side before walking to the door. âWell, Jo, letâs get this show on the road.â Smiling at the picture, you send the image to the wardrobe ladies. very subtle, Charlotte! You fire off before pocketing your phone and following him along. âAw, Jo and Beau,â you coo, your personas snapping into place as soon as you leave the hotel room, clutching his arm.Â
The two of you meander down through the hotel, finding your way to the parking lot. You break away from him to sit in the Bronco (of course he brought it) but you find yourself missing the contact of your arms intertwined. Itâs probably for the best though, you think to yourself. If you have to keep touching him all night, itâs quite possible the Alabama heat may melt whateverâs left of the iceberg youâve built to hold back your crush on him.Â
-
A man bumps into you, and Whiskey is at your defense before you can defend yourself. âWatch it, cowboy,â Jack fires back, his hand resting on the small of your back. You smile up at him, practically making heart eyes. It looks in character, and youâre glad for that, but itâs entirely you.Â
âMy hero,â you giggle and place your hand on his chest.Â
âJust for you, sugar,â he says sweetly and you beam up at him. He looks around, as you do, but the two of you rest there. Itâs hot, unbearably, but yet you enjoy the contact your body makes with his. Both of you wear your flannels around your waist, allowing your grip on his arm to hold his strong muscles directly. Itâs definitely enjoyable. âYou hungry, honey?â He asks.Â
You have to admit, you havenât eaten much today, mainly out of nerves for the mission. But everything is going just swimmingly: you have eyes on the target, have a plan to infiltrate them later, and are now just biding time to seem normal. âI⌠yeah, I am,â you nod and look up at him. âHow âbout some cotton candy?â
âNow, darlinâ, if youâre hungry, that ainât gonna do the trick,â he says and raises an eyebrow, removing his aviators and hooking them on his collar. âThis is the county fair, for cryinâ out loud. Letâs get you something deep fried.â You nod in agreement and the two of you wander over to a stand selling various deep-fried atrocities. You smile and chuckle, letting him order for the two of you. The vendor hands you each a ridiculously large corn dog, and you laugh.Â
The smell of the food makes your stomach growl. âOh god, I didnât realize just how hungry I was,â you moan as you bite into the food, your thick accent dropping. âGood choice, babe,â you tell him, smiling at how easily it comes.Â
âI know you, sugar,â he teases, leading you to a picnic table where he sits across from you, munching on his own. No one else is around here, allowing you to speak freely. âReally, I do. I found out your real name the other day,â he says with a smile, and you nearly choke on the breading, halfway down your throat. He finally says your name aloud, drawing it out, making it sound like itâs coated in honey and dripping with flirtation.
You look down at your food, biting your lip. âWho told you that?â you ask, still staring down.
Jack chuckles at that, ignoring the question. âBeautiful name for a beautiful lady,â he teases, and you chuckle, shaking your head. The flirtation is much better than the stone-cold silence before a week ago, but it doesnât do anything for the growing crush you have on the man. âChamp mustâve known youâd be a stunner.â
âHave you heard of nominative determinism?â you ask as you look up, tilting your head and twirling one of the long braids of your wig around your finger. The words sound funny with the thick accent youâre putting on. Whiskey shakes his head. âItâs this theory that your name shapes who you become. So, if you said that my name was chosen for beauty, I would grow to become my name, so Iâd be beautiful.â He nods a little at that. âDo you believe in that kind of thing?â you ask him genuinely, tilting your head and taking another bite of the corn dog.Â
âClearly,â he chuckles through a mouthful of food before swallowing it. âYour name is pretty, youâre pretty. Someone has a name with a bad reputation, they become it.â
âYour mama named you Jack Daniels, you become Agent Whiskey,â you tease with a growing smile, accentuating that drawl that youâve perfectly picked up from your father and the mustached man in front of you. âIâve thought about that a lot with you. Did they assign you that name because of your name? My dad never talked about work with us before I became an agent.â
Whiskey shakes his head at you but does give a laugh. âProbâly, just thought itâd be funny, I âspose. They needed a new Agent Whiskey anyway, I believe. Last one died or retired, they never told me. Filling the vacancy while making a pun out of it. Your father has a sense of humor, doesnât he? âS sure great at givinâ nicknames.â
You shake your head at that. âDonât I know it. Heâs been calling me Amaretto since I could give him sass back. Told me I was a little bitter, just like the word means in Italian. Julepâs too sweet, RosĂŠ is a mix of gentle and bold. No one calls us by our real names unless weâre in trouble,â you chuckle. âYou should hear my mama shout when Julep gets in trouble. She nearly shakes the house, and Julep likes to avoid it by pretending she canât hear her. Sheâll hide in her room, and my mama just shouts and shouts until the neighbors come over to make sure the familyâs all still alive. Itâs in a loving way, of course, nothing bad.â You shake your head, clearing the topic from yourself. âBut itâs like your mama knew youâd get into something with alcohol. Thatâs odd.â
Jack chuckles and takes the last bite of his food. He doesnât respond, just cleans up his little area and waits for you to be done, watching you with his chin resting in his palm. You smile as you notice that, looking away, and he does too. The two of you stand and walk along again. He offers his hand, to hold it, and you take it. Youâre not entirely sure that he did that as Beau, and youâre certain you didnât take his hand as Jolene.
Walking through the midway, you catch your mark out of the corner of your eye. âGo time,â you murmur to the man, dropping his hand. âSir,â you ask and pat the manâs shoulder as he walks past. He stops and you shoot him a cheesy, massive grin. âHi there, would you mind takinâ a picture for my husband and I?â
The man nods. âSure, maâam. Where do you-â
âOh wonderful. Here,â you say and position the man, handing him your phone, then move back to stand by Jack. âBeau, honey, here,â you say as you position the two of you for the camera. You wrap his arm around your waist and place your hand on his chest, grinning ear to ear. Heâs doing the same.
âHow âbout this?â he asks, swooping you up and holding you bridal style.Â
You squeal into his ear, laughing. You almost call him by his real name but stop yourself. âBeau, quit!â You giggle and smack his chest teasingly, playing along with it and smiling for the photo. He lets you down only to pick you up again, hoisting you onto his back, piggyback style. Finding no other choice, you wrap your arms and legs around him, and he rests his hands on your thighs to hold you up. âBeau Pruitt!â You exclaim, emphasizing the words, hoping that the man taking your photos registers the name, knowing itâs not someone threatening. Heâd probably take your phone and run if he heard you call the man holding you up by his real name.Â
He finally lets you down and you thank the man, taking the phone back and continuing to walk along, naturally lacing your fingers through Jackâs. âWhat was that?â you ask lowly, smiling despite the pretend annoyance in your voice.
âPlayinâ the part, sugar,â he shrugs and smiles at you. As you wander through the midway, Jackâs eye catches on a brightly colored, massive teddy bear hanging from the rafters. When Jack gets a plan, he goes all in. âYou know what, honey, if this is to be a proper date, I am gonna win you a teddy bear,â he chuckles, grabbing his wallet.
You quickly push the hand holding his wallet down. âDonât be ridiculous, babe. I donât need a teddy bear,â you laugh.
âI am takinâ you on a date to the county fair. Itâs only fitting that I win you a teddy bear!â He argues back, laughing. He hands a bill to the attendant, earning him quite a few balls to toss at the stacked milk jugs. âHere we go. This is for the big, tie-dye one up there,â he declares before hurling a ball.Â
It hits the top jug and Jack winces. âAh fuck. Bad shoulder,â he chuckles, picking up another.
âThen why the hell are you doing this, Beau?â you ask, catching yourself before you can call him Jack and holding down his arm. âI donât need the teddy bear!â
âI already paid the attendant,â he chuckles and leans in to your face, taunting you. He uses your distraction to slip his arm from your grasp, throwing it and hitting the second row of bottles. âHell yeah!â Jack crows excitedly, arms in the air. You laugh at his excitement and decide to let it happen. He throws three more balls before he knocks down the whole final row, whooping excitedly. âThat one, if you please,â he tells the attendant and points to the large bear hanging from the ceiling of the booth. The attendant takes it down and hands it to him, and he promptly hands it to you, beaming. âFor you, my dear,â he says, pride radiating from him.
âI love it,â you laugh and hug the massive bear to your chest, kissing its forehead. âI think Iâll name him⌠Whiskey.â He grins at that and takes your hand again, leading you through the crowd.
-
The rest of the night passes more like a date would than a mission. You and Jack converse happily, simply avoiding real names but talking like you would between friends. His hand rests in yours the whole night, and you enjoy it. The sun begins to go down and the humidity lessens, as does the stifling heat. Itâs almost cool now; the both of you wear your flannels properly now, unbuttoned in the front. You munch contently on some cotton candy you finally convinced Jack to buy, even feeding him some to further your ruse. Sighing, you look around and take in the absolute perfection that is this tiny county fair. The sunset is beautiful and the lights of the carnival section are starting to come on. You start to speak until you hear a too-familiar voice through your earpiece.
âAmaretto, Whiskey. They set up shop in the pig barn, but theyâre at their most vulnerable. Time to move.â You both groan as you hear your fatherâs voice. You look down at your interlocked hands between the two of you, then up quickly, remembering. Your father can see what you see with these glasses on. His voice comes in through your earpiece alone now. âSee, I told ya it wouldnât be so bad to spend a little time with Whiskey. Iâve noticed youâre not hating it.â
You shake your head and pull out your earpiece, tucking it in your pocket and murmuring a curse to your father. Jack notices and you simply shrug. âWasnât working right. Youâre gonna have to relay the messages for me.â
He nods then pauses, listening. He chuckles and turns to you. âHe says to put it back in, he knows you can hear him just fine.â You groan and put it back in with a frown. âNext time you want to have family dinner, count on one less plate,â you hiss through the piece, making both Jack and your father laugh. âWhatever, get us to the pig barn then.â Your father guides the two of you through your mission. Theyâre indeed at their weakest, just four men loading their van with their backs to you. Luckily, theyâre the four that Statesman wants. You and Whiskey each easily take out two, leaving them tranquilized on the ground. âPops, theyâre good. Send in the recon van.â A few moments later, the van rushes in through the utility door, and two recon members load the men into the van. You and Whiskey give them a nod, smiling at them and thanking them before leaving the barn.
The voice comes through on just your earpiece again. âTake the rest of the night off. I know you want to.âÂ
Heâs right, you do want to, and so for once, you listen to your damn father. âThe rest of the night is up to us,â you say as you turn to Whiskey, removing your earpiece and your glasses and putting them in your bag. You reach for his earpiece, taking it out too, both of you almost shivering at the contact of your wrist to his cheek as you take it out. Jack catches your palm and plants a kiss to it and you grin. âWould you like to stick around, maybe go on some rides?â you ask and put away his earpiece before sliding your hand into his. âAs Whiskey and Amaretto?â
Jack grins at you. âI thought youâd never ask.âÂ
The rest of the evening is spent on rides and eating ice cream, getting squished into Jackâs side on the Scrambler and flipped around on the Slingshot. You both laugh practically all night, overjoyed. You check your watch and look up excitedly, eyes lighting. âThe fireworks are gonna go off in ten minutes.â You look at the wait for the ferris wheel- itâs about as long. âLetâs go on the ferris wheel to watch it.â
Jack nods. âWhatever you say, sugar,â he nods, lagging for a moment as you start to run to the next ride, then catching up and pulling you into his chest, kissing your head. You laugh at the feeling of being trapped in his arms and wrap your arms around him too, allowing the bear hug to last a moment longer than it should.
The both of you wait in line for a few minutes, continuing the conversation youâd been having before.
The line eventually shortens enough for the two of you to get on, and you sit, hands on the lap bar. Whiskey sits next to you, draping his arm across your shoulders. You look up at him and smile, scooting into his side. You give a little whoop of excitement as the ride starts moving, and you jump at a loud bang.
You timed it perfectly.
The sky lights with different colors, a variety of fireworks lighting off and illuminating the dark night sky. The stars are clear all the way out here, in the middle of Alabama, and you beam at the image. You pull out your phone to snap some pictures but Jack holds your hand down. âThe pictures never do it justice, darlinâ. Just look up at those and remember âem real hard.â Laughing softly, you rest your head on Jackâs shoulder as you watch. Itâs stunning, absolutely gorgeous, and you look at Jack for a moment to find heâs not watching the sky, but has his eyes trained on your face, watching your reaction.
The moment is perfect. He can handle the rejection, he decides, if he has to, but he has to move now. âCan I kiss you, Amaretto?â He murmurs quietly, his face already moving close to yours. You give an answer in the form of a gesture: taking his face in your hands and closing the gap. The kiss is perfect, his soft lips tasting of the cotton candy you finally persuaded him to buy a few hours ago.
He sighs softly, his hand finding the side of your face as well. He breaks away for a moment and looks at your lovely face, grinning at the way your eyes reflect only his face, the dark night sky, and the colorful fireworks. âI think your pops named you wrong. Furthest thing from bitter. Youâre the sweetest, most perfect thing I ever did taste,â he drawls before closing the space again, pressing his lips to yours. Your heart pounds in time with the bursts in the sky, erratic and loud, but you wouldnât have it any other way. Youâre finally kissing the man youâve been crushing on since the moment your father introduced you to the Statesman.
A particularly loud firework startles you and you jump, breaking your kiss and grinning at him, the adrenaline from both the scare and the kiss pounding its way through your body. You look at him and want to say something but canât find the words. You simply giggle and look into his eyes, making him laugh too. You sit there for a moment, laughing, while the ferris wheel stays stationary. As it moves, you cling to his chest again, looking up and beaming at him. âKiss me again, cowboy,â you demand, and he chuckles.
âAny time, sugar,â he says with a smile as he takes your chin in his hand and kisses you again.

did you see the new hsmtmts eps 8-12 synopsis?
Yes, it's good to know that there are actually 12 eps this season as Larry had said in an interview before S2 premiered that there were 11 eps. Also it doesn't look like we'll be seeing very much of rehearsals or the actual show? It may be covid linked but it does seem that the musical aspect of the series has been dropped somewhat this season. So it looks like we get the Menchies in 2x11 and we probably donât get a regular school performance like we did in S1. I get that itâs largely covidâs fault but it is lame that weâre not gonna get much of an ensemble show for a couple eps as the show is at its best when itâs focusing on the found family aspect of the wildcats.
Looks like Gina meets Jack at the airport in 2x09 which fits with his character description saying he has wanderlust. Interesting that we see Lynne again (I just learned that Tim Federle named Mike and Lynne Bowen after his own parents who have been happily married for 40 years). Also cool that weâll see E.J.âs dad. Theyâre kicking Howie and Kourtney into high gear which should be fun. Presumably Gina and Niniâs rising secrets are to some extent about Ricky which could suck especially since Nini was already jealous of Ricky and Gina being flirty and hanging out back in S1 so it could feel like retreading old ground. I wonder if Rickyâs unexpected facetime/party crasher he reevaluates will be Lily, she certainly seems interested in him. The Seblos fight would presumably be about their different financial backgrounds which could be interesting if handled correctly.Â
Thereâs a lot thatâs kept vague obviously or just not mentioned. Going by the 2x05 synopsis for example, we would have had no clue that it the Miss Jenn/Mazzara/Mike Bowen triangle would be an important part of it, or that E.J. would have his most substantial role so far this season, or that the show would finally circle back to Portwell. We have no mention of Antoine though we know he shows up next ep, nothing for Zachie Roy or Lily or North High in general, nothing of Miss Jenn or her many gentlemen callers. Extrapolating from the first 5 eps itâs likely that Rini break up or at least take break sometime later this season ( I believe there have been clips from various trailers from later eps that show Ricky without his necklace). The theme of second chances is clearly going to be important the last two eps, itâs mentioned in the 2x111 synopsis and is the title of 2x12. Does Nini try and get into YAC again or some song writing summer camp or something? Does Gina speaking her truth mean clearing the air with Ricky or with EJ? And is Mr. Mazzara showing a softer side to woo Miss Jenn or to help EJ or another student? So far S2 has been uneven but with 2x05 it finally seemed to find its footing so hopefully the 2nd half of the season will be even better.

Ok, we've seen Bio!Dad Bruce, Adopted!Dad Bruce, and both adopted and blood siblings for nearly all the robins. Now consider Bio!Mom Marinette. She's got the looks to be a Wayne, so do Jason/Tim/Dick. Imagine one of them being her actual son and then meeting Bruce. Imagine something happening and Marinette is separated from her child so Bruce adopts said child until she can come get them. Imagine all the different scenarios.
I have said it once, and i shall say it again: I fuck with mominette
but, hmmmmmmm. this is a tricky one. I canât imagine that there would be much that could keep Mari away from her child for long enough for Bruce to need to adopt them. Unless she was presumed dead or, perhaps, previously knew Batman/Bruce and left them in his care and then something magical/inter-dimensional went wrong so sheâs MIA for a bit (which, if he then turned around and made them a child hero I can only imagine the thrashing heâd receive when she came back).
keeping with backstories as much as possible I suppose itâd look like this:
The Flying Graysons are not a duo but a trio. Mary and John and Marinette, who are all as in sync as any three people could be. Itâs no secret in the circus that, while Mary and John are the ones who are married, Mari is hardly the third wheel in their act. Mary and Mari have been together longer than theyâve known John, and when the three discuss children, itâs always Mari who they agree should carry the child.
(Maryâs life is in the sky, but Mari has always been able to flit back and forth. She can stand to keep her feet on the ground for a few months, but Mary always jokes that it would kill her.)
Itâs Mary who gets final say on the name, and soon, Richard John Grayson is born to three loving parents and an extended family in the circus they all call home.
but when Dick is eight, Mari is called away for business, whether miraculous or fashion or simply friend related, it doesn't quite matter. She chooses to go on her own, for one reason or another and when she kisses each of her little family goodbye, she does not know it will be the last.
Mari doesnât hear about their deaths until she catches back up with the circus a week later and when she does they break the news. she almost collapses with grief before the rage distracts her. because Haly explains to her that Dick is gone. That heâs an orphan now even though Marinette is his mother too.
(Sheâs had the name Grayson for years. all her official documents say Marinette Grayson. The fucking idiots in charge of this whole joke of an investigation seemed to have believed that Mary was a nickname, and no one would listen to her son when he cried about a second mother.)
and then, before she can storm in and demand the incompetent Gotham forces fix this Dick is already being bundled up and brought to Wayne Manor. Which is just,, great.
Mariâs never punched a billionaire before, but she supposes thereâs a first time for everything.
***
(and yeah, i know Catherine wasnât actually his mom but Shelia can choke for all i care about her) or like this:
Itâs not drug addiction that takes his mother, but Jason gets to watch her fade all the same.
Itâs a different sort of poison, but itâs just as deadly and painful.
The very air in Gotham suffocates her, digs into her skin and winds around her heart like a vice, turning her veins thick, inky black.
Gotham is killing her slowly, but their only alternative is her dying quickly instead. If his mother was to step foot outside of Gotham she would burn, a supernova on earth.Â
Her miraculous was shattered, broken while she wielded it and the backlash was enough to send her to this death-life. her miraculous shattered and so did she.
His mother is broken and wrong but no matter how much Jason tries he cannot fix it.
He watches his mother wither away to ashes and laterâwhen he is more man than boy and has tasted the death that took away the only person who ever seemed to give a damn about himâhe wears her colors in remembrance.Â
***
Marinette married Jack Drake out of obligation more than any sense of love.
But, she supposed, it could have been worse. Jack is not a cruel man and heâs gone on business more often than not, which leaves her and their son and the servants of the manor.
Itâs not the life she wanted, but itâs far from terrible. Tim is the light of her life, and regardless of her feelings for his father, she adores him just as she always knew she would.
They are as close as Mother and son can be, which means she notices when he starts disappearing for long periods of time. At first she had believed him to be taking picturesâheâs grown very fond of photography and Marinette encouraged creativity at every opportunityâand well. Technically she isnât wrong.
She stares at her son unamused when he tries to use that argument.
heâs oddly tight lipped about why heâs been following around Batman, and it takes all her skill in prodding and teasing out her sonâs worries to get him to speak.
âBatman needs help,â he finally tells her. âBruce Wayne needs help.â
And, oh. Well then.
âOkay,â she says simply, already planning how best to approach this situation. grief is a tricky thing and her and Bruce arenât exactly close.
âHe needs a Robin,â Tim insists then and multiple pieces suddenly click in her mind.
âNo. Absolutely not.â
âBut-â
âNo. You are not going out and fighting crime at your age! If you think he needs a partner so much, then Iâll do it.â
if Tim is put out by being told he canât go out and fight crime with Batman, it is very much overshadowed by the idea of his mom going out and fighting crime with Batman.
(Before the end of the week, Marinette has taken Tim over to Wayne manor and all but forced themselves on the household.
In six months, Nightingale takes to the streets of Gotham, fluttering at Batmanâs side like sheâs always been there.
In a year, Marinette has spoken to Jackâwho gives his blessing which she appreciates even if she hadnât needed itâand she begins spending more nights in Bruceâs bed than she does her own.)

Insufferable (Damian Wayne x Reader)
Request for anon: âWould you write a Damian fic thatâs him basically being a total brat in the beginning and immediately starting an antagonistic or combative relationship only to be thrown on his ass when heâs like wait?? I think I actually like her?? How do I get her to stop arguing with me??
Word Count: 3,700
Tags: @idkmanicantenglish @mayahoelland2013
You and Damian are 12 at the beginning of this. Enjoy!Â
âThat was awesome!â Jon grins. âBut watch this!â He fires laser beams from his eyes at the target down the range.Â
âWhoa!â You cheer. âOh, I got another one!â You notch and fire six consecutive arrows, hitting the target in the pattern of a smiley face.Â
Jon laughs.Â
âCan you do any other shapes?âÂ
âIâm working on doing animals. Roy thinks itâs funny, and Jason wants me to learn how to spell out messages,â You grin proudly. Â
You started as a street rat in Star City inspired by Green Arrow and Arsenal but you bit off a little more than you could chew. Good thing Arsenal was there to watch your back then he found himself in possession of a protege. To this day, Roy swears he still doesnât know how you talked him into training you, but Jason told you he has a soft spot for street kids.Â
Youâre at the Justice League Watch Tower because apparently the Justice League wants to work out a deal with the Outlaws or something. You think itâs stupid, but you guess you can give credit to League for trying to bridge the gap between themselves and the Outlaws. Batman has failed for years to do so effectively, but then again, for the worldâs greatest detective, Batman is kind of a dumbass.Â
Luckily, you didnât have to sit in on the shit show because Superman brought Superboy with him, and apparently Batman is bringing Robin. Jon speaks highly of Damian, but Jason refers to him as the âdemon childâ. Then again, Jason didnât like Tim for a long time, but you think Tim is cool, so maybe Jasonâs wrong about Damian.Â
âOh, great, another arrow,â A new voice groans from behind you.Â
âDamian!â Jon grins. âThis is Y/N, Black Falcon!âÂ
âI was expecting someone more impressive, but perhaps I had my standards too high for an arrow,â Damian narrows his eyes.Â
Okay, maybe Jason wasnât wrong...Â
âFunny,â You raise an eyebrow. âI thought Robin would be taller.âÂ
âI am a perfectly adequate height,â He growls.Â
âOkay, pipsqueak.âÂ
Damian rolls his eyes again.Â
âItâs clear youâve been living with Todd by your childish insults.âÂ
âAt least I donât get mistaken for a nine-year-old.âÂ
âPerhaps that is a problem you have. I am twelve.âÂ
âCouldâve fooled me.âÂ
You watch his jaw clench, a smirk working onto your face. Itâs almost cute how hard he is pretending to not be annoyed by you.Â
âY/N was showing me her archery skills! Look, she can make shapes!â Jon points toward the target downrange, probably hoping to diffuse the situation quickly building between you and Damian.Â
Damian rolls his eyes, looking unimpressed.Â
âWhat tactical advantage does shooting your arrows in a smiley face give you?âÂ
âNone,â You admit, slinging your bow over your shoulder. âBut I bet you canât do something more impressive.âÂ
You see him rising to the bait as he glares at you.Â
âI donât stoop to childish competitions to prove myself.âÂ
âCome on, Dami,â Jon pleads. âShow us the trick with the Batarang and the apple!âÂ
Damian whips around to glare at Jon for exposing him partaking in âchildish competitionsâ while your mischievous smile deepens.Â
âUnless youâre scared of your party trick looking lame,â You taunt.Â
âItâs not a party trick!â Damian barks.Â
âRight because Iâm sure you have a lot of use for being able to throw Batarangs at apples in the field,â You roll your eyes.Â
âTarget practice,â Damian snaps.
âAnd a normal target wouldnât work?âÂ
Damian glares at you for a long minute.Â
âWhatever,â He mutters, shoving past Jon toward another room.Â
âDoes this mean youâre going to do it?â Jon asks hopefully.
âFine.âÂ
âYes!â Jon grins, then motions for you to follow him. âCome on! Weâve gotta go get apples from the cafeteria!âÂ
âThereâs a cafeteria in here?â You dazedly question, following Jon and Damian.
âTt,â Damian rolls his eyes.Â
While the Outlaws have some cool technology (especially Koriâs ship!), most of their technology pales in comparison to the Justice Leagueâs resources. Damian retrieves apples while Jon explains some of the other technology around the Watch Tower. The three of you return to the training room then Jon tosses an apple into the air.Â
Damian throws three Batarangs, slicing the apple into six even pieces in midair. He glances back at you, looking smug. You will admit, his accuracy is impressive. Youâve thrown knives before and itâs hard to be accurate throwing one knife at a moving object, much less three and slicing the target evenly, but of course, you canât show that youâre impressed.Â
âHey, Jon, can you slice one of these apples mid-air with your laser eyes?â You ask. âIâve got an idea.âÂ
Jon grins and eagerly throws an apple in a high arch, then cuts it with a blast of his laser eyes. You notch an arrow and fire it through the two apple halves, pinning it to the wall before it can hit the ground.
âNice,â Jon praises while Damian looks bored. âMy turn,â He hands you an apple to throw.
You toss it for him and Jon flashes his laser eyes again, but this time when the apple hits the ground, thereâs a zig-zag pattern wrapped around it.Â
âThat was cool!â You grin.Â
Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Damian looking at the apple with an impressed expression.Â
âToss two at once,â You tell Jon, notching an arrow.Â
He throws two apples into the air, then you fire your arrow through both apples, pinning them to the wall.Â
âTt,â Damian rolls his eyes. âThrow two more,â He tells Jon.Â
Jon grins, then throws two more apples. Damian throws a Batarang, one side of it catching one apple and the other burying itself into the other apple so that by the time the Batarang hits the floor, both apples are embedded on either side of it.Â
âI bet I can hit an apple before you can slice it with a Batarang,â You challenge Damian.Â
A smirk crosses his face.Â
âBe prepared to be disappointed.âÂ
. . .
By the time Roy came to get you, you, Jon, and Damian had ran out of apples. Instead, Damian was throwing one of his Batarangs with a hole in the center of it while you tried to fire an arrow through the hole.Â
You notch another arrow then nod at Damian. He tosses the Batarang. You follow it with your arrow through the high arch then release, the arrow flying through the air and through the hole in the middle of the Batarang.Â
âYes!â You cheer, high fiving Jon and Damian.Â
âDamian! Do you think you can hit one of Y/Nâs arrows mid-air?â Jon asks.Â
Damian glances over at you for a moment.Â
âI can hit one of Y/Nâs arrows easily, but will Y/N be able to hit one of my Batarangs?â He taunts.Â
âI could hit it in my sleep.âÂ
Before Damian could remark with something witty, Roy interrupts.Â
âAnd as much as I would love to watch that, I donât feel like replacing all your arrows yet. Come on, letâs go home.âÂ
You frown at Roy but turn to Jon and Damian.Â
âNext time,â You promise, then follow Roy out of the room.Â
Jon and Damian watch you two leave then Jon turns to Damian with a grin.Â
âY/N is cool. I like her.âÂ
Damian rolls his eyes.Â
âSheâs insufferable.âÂ
âSure,â Jon agrees knowingly.Â
Damian glares at him, ignoring the mischievous smile on Jonâs face.Â
. . .
Youâve never been to the Manor before, but a few months after the Justice League meeting, Jason had to retrieve some intel from Batman, and Roy sent you along with him to make sure Jason doesnât start a fight with his foster father. He says Jason wants to set a good example for you so he wonât get in a fistfight with Bruce while youâre there.
âAlright, come on,â Jason ruffles your hair. âI know you want to see the Batcave.âÂ
Currently, youâre sitting in the kitchen, chatting with Alfred, but at the mention of the Batcave, your face lights up.Â
âThanks for the sandwich, Alfred!â You grin, chasing Jason out of the room.Â
âOf course,â He smiles.Â
Jason leads you over to the grandfather clock then moves the hands on the clock to a specific time. The clock shifts, revealing a doorway.Â
âWhoa,â You breathe, following Jason down the stairs into the huge cave.Â
You walk around the room slowly, taking everything in then you notice a figure sitting in front of the Bat computer.Â
âTim!â You grin.Â
Tim spins around in his chair and smiles at you.Â
âHey, Y/N, hey Jay. I didnât know you guys were going to be here.âÂ
âIâm picking up some intel from Bruce,â Jason tells him. âRoy made me bring Y/N to make sure I would be on my best behavior,â He rolls his eyes.Â
âAnd I wanted to see the Batcave,â You add.Â
âBruce is in the back,â Tim jerks his head back toward a different area of the cave. âCome on, Y/N, Iâll show you around.âÂ
You grin and eagerly follow Tim around, soaking in all the information. He shows you the various souvenirs Batman has collected from the Rogue gallery, the collection of Bat suits and past Robin suits, miscellaneous technology, and the vast array of weapons.Â
âThis one is yours, right?â You ask, taking the bo staff off the wall.Â
âYep,â Tim confirms, tucking his hands into his pockets. âYou ever used one?â Â
âNo,â You admit. âBut sometimes I use my bow for hand to hand combat when Iâm in a pinch. Iâm not very good, but Iâm getting better. Jason is helping me.âÂ
âI could show you a few moves if you want,â Tim offers.
âYeah!â You grin then Tim leads you onto the mats in the training area.Â
In comparison to Dick and Jason, Tim is fairly skinny. He doesnât have the advantage of lots of muscle mass, so he has to compensate in different ways which is perfect for training you. While Roy and Jason are both good teachers, they are also both jacked while as of a year ago, you were starving on the streets, so youâve been building your muscle back up, but youâre nowhere near their muscle mass (and probably never will be).Â
Tim shows you a few moves with his bo staff and even finds a bow for you to practice with so you can translate the moves over to your choice of weapon. He also shows you a few moves that allow you to flip someone over, even when they are heavier than you.Â
You push with your legs, driving your hips forward and pull down on Timâs left arm, forcing him over your shoulder. Tim hits the ground with an âoofâ but grins up at you.Â
âThat was good,â He praises then you hear a familiar scoff behind you.Â
âThat was childâs play,â Damian cross his arms.Â
Tim sighs, sitting up.Â
âOh yeah?â You cross your arms. âCome on the mats, Iâll show you childâs play.âÂ
Damian rolls his eyes.Â
âIf I wanted an easy fight, Iâd spar Drake.âÂ
âThanks,â Tim remarks sarcastically.Â
âAfraid youâre going to lose?â You taunt.Â
âTt, Iâve fought against opponents twice your size blindfolded and won. I donât fear losing.âÂ
âSounds like a lot of excuses to me.â Â
âI spend my training time improving, not fighting those beneath me.âÂ
âBeneath you?â You question. âYouâre three feet tall. Thereâs not many people beneath you.âÂ
Tim snickers from the mats while Damian glares at you.Â
âI am not short!â He protests.Â
âSure you arenât, champ,â You smile condescendingly. âYouâre just fun sized!âÂ
Damian glowers at you then steps onto the mats.Â
âFine. Iâll partake in your pathetic training exercise.âÂ
You grin then Tim steps off the mats to let you two spar, watching from the side. You will admit that you may be a bit out of your depth by sparing Damian. Itâs no secret that he is very well trained and an extremely talented fighter. Youâre more a long-range type of fighter, but heâs too damn smug for you to not at least try to wipe that stupid smirk off his face. Somehow, you manage to shake out of Damianâs hold, flinging him off you.Â
Damian is a good fighter, but you know youâre putting up one hell of a fight right now. He lunges forward, and thatâs when you see your opportunity. One minute, Damian is upright, in fighterâs guard, ready to strike, the next minute, heâs on his back staring at the ceiling, all the air knocked out of his lunges.Â
âNice job, Y/N!â Tim grins while you cheer, running over to high five him.Â
âIt worked!â You grin. âThat was so cool.âÂ
Damian slowly sits up, looking a little dazed then Jason walks over and announces that itâs time to go.Â
âBye Tim!â You grin then smirk at Damian. âSee you later, Bat Brat!âÂ
Damian doesnât even have a witty remark to shoot back at the insulting nickname you yelled to him. Once you and Jason leave the cave, Tim looks over at Damian with a knowing grin.Â
âYou look a little starry-eyed there, Dames,â Tim shoots him a shit-eating grin. âSomeone has a crush.âÂ
âShut up, Drake,â Damian growls. âI do not have a crush.âÂ
âOh please, everyone in this family practically falls in love when they meet someone who can knock them on their ass. I know that look. You like Y/N.âÂ
âNo, I do not,â Damian snaps, getting to his feet. âShe is insufferable and youâre even bigger idiot than I thought if you think I would ever be attracted to someone like her,â He storms out of the cave while Tim grins.Â
. . .Â
Initially, you didnât want to join the Teen Titans. You think something similar to the Outlaws is more appealing than the Teen Titans, but Roy and Kori convince you to give it a chance. The Titans had an especially big mission that they needed some extra manpower on so you agreed to help.Â
Low and behold, no one other than Damian Wayne is leading the team. You stroll into the tower with an overnight bag slung over your shoulder, Damian not noticing you until you say:Â
âWow, Robin. I remember when I was taller than you. Then again, everyone was taller than you.âÂ
Puberty was kind to Damian, finally blessing him with his fatherâs height. While Damian doesnât have near the muscle mass of Bruce (what seventeen year old does?), you predict that Damian will eventually be taller than Bruce.Â
Damian sighs, slowly turning to face you with an unimpressed look.Â
âI see your humor hasnât improved with age.âÂ
âI see you still have a stick up your ass.âÂ
Itâs been a few years since youâve seen Damian. Both of you have grown more into yourselves and improved skills, but some things never change.Â
âWhy are you here?â Damian demands.Â
âDidnât you hear? Iâm your extra manpower on this mission,â You grin viciously. âIâm Y/N,â You introduce to the few Teen Titans you donât recognize.Â
âGreat, the Justice League is dooming us to fail,â Damian rolls his eyes.Â
âThey did that when they put you in charge,â You snap back.Â
âYes, and I suppose youâve had lots of experience leading your nonexistent team.âÂ
âCute,â You sneer, shifting the bag on your shoulder. âIâm going to go claim a bed,â You announce then wander further into the tower.Â
âSo, Dames,â Gar asks. âWhoâs your friend?âÂ
âNot a friend,â Damian growls.Â
âYou wish she were more than a friend,â Jon grins.Â
âNo, I do not,â Damian snaps.Â
âI dunno,â Gar trails off. âIt seemed flirty to me. What do you think, Jon?âÂ
âDefinitely flirty,â Jon agrees.Â
âShut up,â Damian growls. âI was not flirting with Y/N. She is insufferable,â Then Damian storms off.Â
Gar and Jon exchange a look.Â
âHeâs so into her,â Gar insists.Â
âHas been since we were twelve,â Jon confirms.Â
. . .Â
Youâll admit it. Damian is a good leader. Heâs a smug dick, but heâs good at what he does. Of course, just like any other of Damianâs talents, you would never admit this to him. His ego is big enough without you inflating it anymore.Â
And while Damian is a good leader and a fantastic planner, sometimes, plans go astray, like this plan, right now.
âShit,â Robin curses.Â
You frown from where youâre keeping watch while Robin hacks into the compound files.Â
âWhat is it?â You ask.Â
âTheyâve got a highly advance software on here that will recover any deleted files from the hard drive,â Robin frowns.Â
It was a rescue and extraction mission from a highly advanced facility experimenting on kidnapped kids to make super humans. The rest of the team was evacuating the facility while you and Robin went to extract data and destroy files.Â
âSo, we have to destroy the computer system,â You frown, looking at the vast system which spreads across the huge room then look in your quiver. âI only have two exploding arrows left and they arenât strong enough to take out everything.âÂ
Robin curses in Arabic.Â
âI donât have enough explosives on me to destroy the whole system either. Perhaps Superboy could--â Heâs cut off by the sound of footsteps running your direction.Â
You draw your bow again, ready to fire.Â
âLooks like weâve been found.âÂ
As the first security guard rounds the counter, you let the arrow fly, shooting him in the shoulder. Robin uses a flying roundhouse to knock out the guard while you fire an arrow at a guard attempting to sneak up on him. You fire another arrow then punch a nearby guard in the face. Before the guard can recover, you backhand him with your bow then knock him backward with a front kick.Â
âBlack Falcon!â Robin calls, then flings a guard toward you.Â
You fire an arrow into the guardâs shoulder and knee, the man collapsing to the ground with a scream.Â
âWeâve gotta figure out how to destroy that computer without blowing up the building,â You grab Robinâs arm. âCome on, before they send more guards!âÂ
Robin nods, running back to the computer room with you, emptying the small explosives he carries with him.Â
âThese will take out some of the systems, but it wonât destroy the whole thing,â Robin frowns, digging through his utility belt.Â
âWhat if I fire my explosive arrows at them? Between both of the explosives, that would be enough, right?âÂ
Robin pauses to think for a moment then begins arranging the explosives in a specific pattern.Â
âCan you fire both of your explosive arrows at the same time?âÂ
âPft, easily.âÂ
Robin nods then finishes arranging the explosives.Â
âWe need to get to a higher vantage point,â He pauses, looking around the room, then spots a vent. âThere.âÂ
âUh⌠Youâre a little big for a vent, donât you think?â You ask, raising an eyebrow at Robinâs broad shoulders.Â
âGetting into small, high places is Nightwingâs specialty. I am more than capable.âÂ
You shrug.Â
âWhatever you say.âÂ
âIâve set the explosives to be a chain reaction. Fire at that one,â Then Robin points to the explosives at the top of the chain and you two make your way into the vent.Â
While itâs a tight squeeze for Robin, heâs true to his word and maneuvers expertly into the vent. The only feasible way to hold your bow is sideways, but youâve shot sideways plenty of times.Â
âYou ready, Bat Brat?â You ask.Â
Robin nods curtly, clearly unimpressed with the old nickname. You grin at him then fire at the explosives.Â
. . .Â
The rest of the mission goes smoothly. All of the people experimented on are getting medical attention, any of the Titans that were injured are being patched up, and there were no casualties. You donât mind the Titans. Heck, you might even join the team.Â
Currently, youâre sitting on the roof of the tower, your feet dangling over the edge. While the Titans are cool, you enjoy your tall perches. You blame Roy for introducing you to the thrilling world of heights.Â
Someone silently sits down next to you. You donât even have to turn your head to know who it is.Â
âYouâve got a good team, Dames,â You tell him.Â
âTheyâre adequate,â He says simply.Â
âThatâs pretty high praise coming from you,â You tease.Â
Damian rolls his eyes.Â
âYou were also⌠adequate on the mission.âÂ
âAw sucks, Dames. Youâre gonna make me blush.âÂ
Damian rolls his eyes again.Â
âYou werenât too bad yourself,â You tell him, bumping his shoulder. âYouâre a good leader. This team is lucky to have you.âÂ
You see Damian look down out of the corner of your eye. You turn to see him hiding a blush.Â
âAw, Damian, are you blushing?â You tease, poking his cheek.Â
âShut up!â Damian snaps, his face growing darker. He bats your hand away. âIâm not blushing!âÂ
âSure youâre not,â You grin, leaning back on your hands and admiring the city.Â
You two sit in silence for a few minutes, watching the sunset over the city. Maybe Roy and Kori are right. Maybe itâs time for you to join a team of your ownâŚÂ
âIâŚâ Damian starts slowly. âI enjoyed having you in the field today.âÂ
You look over at Damian with a shit-eating grin.Â
âCareful, Dames. With words like that, you might make me think you actually like me.âÂ
Damian blushes again, looking irritated.Â
âYour personality is insufferable, but you have good skills.âÂ
âUh-huh,â You nod, not buying anything he is saying. âIs that why youâre sitting on the roof with me and not your teammates?âÂ
Damian doesnât say anything which only deepens your grin.Â
âI enjoyed today too. We work well together,â You say. âI think Iâll have to tag along on another mission soon.âÂ
â...Iâd like that,â Damian admits.Â
You grin again, laying your head on Damianâs shoulder.Â
âYou know, you may be a cocky son of a bitch, but youâre alright, Dames.âÂ
âYouâre still insufferable,â Damian tells you but leans his head on yours anyways.Â
âI donât know who you think youâre fooling with that line.âÂ
âI donât need to fool anyone, itâs the truth!âÂ
âUh-huh, Dames. Sure it is.âÂ
Me? Write a Damian fic where Iâm happy with his dialog and characterization? Itâs more likely than I thought.Â

I saw the 1920s thing you did for the Foundation Squad and it made me wonder...what if they all accidentally encountered the creepypastas when they were accidentally yeeted in a different dimension by Bright out of spite.
The Creepypasta Crossover
[Including: You know the drill, all of them. Respectively, @lynxlycan, @hereggssuitcasefish, @celestialissues, @thegracelessfaceless]
[Warnings: Like, none?]
[AN: What a nightmare.]
Blanket statement that they're all used to this kind of stuff working at the Foundation so like, it just kinda makes sense to them? They're more annoyed than anything else.
Dr. Quill
Probably meets Jeff the Killer. Doesn't like him. I think that they would fight. A really shitty game of tag tbh. Eventually gets to sit down and talk to him and well, it's kinda awkward. They learn about each other's universes and I think that's kinda neat. Still hates that Dr. Bright threw her in there. Like what??? That's so rude?? it's a learning experience though.
Dr. Sora
Meets Masky. I know he's Marble Hornets, but like, I like this one. Due to him not being as problematic, they get along just fine. Sora is hesitant to really tell him anything, but they end up talking a lot. Tim doesn't understand anything about the Foundation but like, shadow organizations are kinda cool in his opinion. Not too far off from him and the Operator. i think they're good friends in the end. Is not mad at Dr. Bright.
Agent Icarus
Meets Clockwork. They'd legitimately try to fight each other before calming down enough to get to actually speaking. They also get along just fine. Clockwork has seen other Independents that have wings and Icarus's are no different. I think they actually really enjoy each other's company. Tell each other a lot about the odds and ends of what's going on in each other's worlds. Also is not mad at Dr. Bright. If possible, i think they'd somewhat regularly go back to Clockwork's universe to meet with her. It's just nice imo.
Dr. Tjme
Meets the Operator. Hates it. Hates Dr. Bright. I am not elaborating further.
Nurse Grace
I wanted to say meets Toby but instead, meets Eyeless Jack. I think EJ is the most formal when it comes to meeting. He and Grace talk about medical things and kinda lull into an easy friendship? EJ is by far the most mature creepypasta here other than Masky. Does not want to fight Grace, they're just good friends and research buddies. Isn't mad at Dr. Bright but isn't too happy at the same time because Sal was really, really stressed.

April 12, 2021: Mrs. Doubtfire (1992) (Recap)
Hey, Robin Williams. Been a while.
Iâm sorry that I havenât watched your movies for a while, and that I always skip your comedy stand-up when my phoneâs on shuffle. I just...let me explain. Since I was a kid, you were one of my favorite entertainers. That might as well have started the day I was born, because...well, we share a birthday, fun fact. But it definitely continued with the first movie I ever saw in theatres.
While I donât quite remember the first time I saw it, Aladdin was one of my favorite childhood movies, and I knew that you were the voice of the Genie from an early age. You might have actually been the first actor I ever knew by name. Which makes sense, because your stardom during the â90s was nearly unparalleled.
The next film I remember seeing (and hearing) you in was Ferngully: The Last Rainforest. That also starred Tim Curry, who would also be a major figure of my childhood. It also wasnât the best movie, in hindsight, but it is the only time Iâve heard you rap since.
But eventually, I watched your forays into live-action, too. Jumanji, Hook, even the objectively bad Flubber, are all movies that I vividly remember watching during childhood. I was really excited for Flubber, even, and I LOVED Jumanji growing up. I liked Hook, too, but I appreciated that more as I got older.
Of course, during this time period, you also made less family-friendly films. The Fisher King, Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, Good Morning Vietnam, and What Dreams May Come were all very successful, and cemented your reputation as an actor. I also havenât seen any of them. In fact...I donât think Iâve seen any of your dramatic roles, and thatâs something that Iâll fix this year. Hell, in a few days, Iâll watch The Birdcage, another of your big hits of the â90s.
But why havenât I seen them up to now? Well...I was going to watch these films, about seven years ago. But...I havenât been able to bring myself to do it. Because it hurts. A lot.
I know that this is a downer, but my relationship with Robin Williams today is tainted by his tragic death. I was fucking BROKEN when his death was announced, and I really havenât been able to watch him since. Iâve seen Aladdin recently, but thatâs about all I could stand to watch. I mean, the guy shares a birthday with me! Iâve always loved his comedy stylings, and his improvisational skills are something Iâve internalized to a certain degree.
So, yeah. This oneâs tough. But, itâs about time I moved on, and celebrated the manâs career for what it was: stellar. And that also brings up an important question, that some of you have probably asked by now:
HOW HAVE I MISSEDÂ MRS. DOUBTFIRE, WHAT THE FUCK
I KNOW I KNOW OK?
Look, Iâm not entirely sure how I havenât seen this movie, because Iâm MORE than aware of it! I remember it airing during the â90s, my Dad AND girlfriend love this movie, and I know FOR A FACT that my family owned both the DVD AND THE VHS of this movie! So, how? HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN IT BY NOW?
I honestly have no idea, but letâs fix it now, huh? Yet one more man-dresses-as-woman movie this month! And no, I am not watching White Chicks...because Iâve already seen White Chicks. Also, itâs...problematic.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
 Recap
Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) is a voice-actor, and a good one. Which, given that itâs Robin Williams, isnât entirely inaccurate. Heâs also a voice actor with a spine, as he morally objects to a scene in the cartoon that heâs performing for, in which the main character smokes. By the way, Iâm 99% sure that this cartoon is animated by Chuck Jones, and it looks well-made.
Anyway, this leads to him quitting the cartoon altogether, and allows him to pick up his kids early from school. These kids are Lydia (Lisa Hykub), Chris (Matthew Lawrence), and Natalie (Mara Wilson), and itâs Chrisâ 12th birthday. Daniel arranges a...surprisingly large party, given that itâs completely impromptu, and it comes with a petting zoo and complete trappings. However, itâs not a party of which his wife will approve.
This wife is Miranda (Sally Field), a successful architect and the breadwinner of the family. After getting a call from the neighbor about the party, she comes home and busts the outrageous party. And for the record, Iâm entirely on Mirandaâs side here. This party is INSANE, and very irresponsible, given the fact that Daniel currently has no job. And yeah, heâs a very loving father, and a good person, but...itâs too much.
Miranda feels the same, and after 14 years of frustration, she realizes that she no longer loves Daniel. In a genuinely sad scene, she tells him that she wants a divorce. And she goes through with it MUCH to Danielâs detriment. He has no home, as heâs staying with his brother, Frank (Harvey Fierstein) and his partner Jack (Scott Capurro). He also still has no job, meaning that he has no way to provide for his children. This means that he has no ability to provide, and the judge awards Miranda full custody. Oof.
However, this is a conditional arrangement, as another hearing for joint custody will be held in 3 months, and if Daniel can get a home and job in that time, he has a chance. He performs a litany of voices and impressions with his court liason, Mrs. Sellner (Anne Haney), which amuses me, but not her, and he gets a job in order to be with his kids for more than one day a week.
Meanwhile, Miranda IMMEDIATELY starts dating fellow designer and old flame Stuart Dunmeyer (Pierce Brosnan), like, almost before Daniel leaves the house. He bids a heartfelt goodbye to his kids, with the promise that heâll see them on Saturdays. And now begins the absolute hatred and petty bitchiness of Daniel and Miranda! Seriously, itâs...itâs fucking terrible, and it takes away from my sympathy from either side. I get that divorce is rough and ugly, but GODDAMN, neither of them perform the act with any form of tact or grace.
This is put on display during the kidsâ visitation to Danielâs semi-crappy new apartment, which doesnât even seem that bad, to be honest. Miranda dropped them off late and picked them up early, as if to slowly starve Daniel of time with his kids, which is extraordinarily shitty of her, fuck me. Danielâs not taking it well, understandably, but then does something...really dumb, when you think about it.
See, Mirandaâs looking for a nanny, to help watch the kids and clean the house during the week. Daniel volunteers his services, which is actually a good idea, but Miranda says sheâll think about it, which we ALL know means no. I DO NOT like Miranda, even if I understand the initial reasons for the divorce. Sheâs being especially spiteful, and itâs not a good look.
Danielâs stupid idea, though, is to change the phone number on the ad for the nanny, which Miranda shows him before she takes the kids. Instead, he calls her number, and pretends to be various terrible applicants, until finally supplying his own applicant: the completely fictional Euphegenia Doubtfire (Daniel Hillard).
Daniel plays Mrs. Doubtfire as an elderly British woman, and a seasoned nanny in her day. Which is why itâs weird to me that, when he does to Frank and Jack to help him make an elaborate disguise as Mrs. Doubtfire, that they go through various other impressions and get-ups. Which, yes, is goddamn hilarious, but also makes NO SENSE, given that theyâve already established her character to Miranda. Funny, but nonsensical.
But, regardless, Euphegenis Doubtfire comes into being, and introduces herself to Miranda and the kids. Mrs. Doubtfire is exactly what Mirandaâs looking for, although the kids arenât exactly overjoyed, ESPECIALLY the oldest, Lydia. Also, during this first meeting, Miranda openly bad-mouths Daniel in front of the kids, in just the WORST fuckinâ way. I genuinely dislike Miranda A LOT. Again, the divorce was certainly justified, but I REALLY donât like her. Daniel loves his kids, and theyâre HIS kids, TOO. Stop using them as weapons against him, OOOOOOOOOOOH I DONâT LIKE MIRANDA
Anyway, that evening, after sheâs officially been hired by Miranda, Mrs. Doubtfire heads home, only to find court liason Mrs. Sellner waiting to speak with Daniel. After a litany of puns, and a humorous changing scene, Daniel accidentally throws the Mrs. Doubtfire mask out of the window, and is forced to improvise through equally humorous circumstances. Hence, the above meringue mask scene. Has anybody tried that, by the way? Could that work as a groundbreaking beauty technique? Or would the sugar just feed the skin bacteria and give you acne? Genuinely curious.
Now going between his job as Daniel and the nanny job as Doubtfire, Danielâs not doing too badly for himself. The nanny job begins, and Mrs. Doubtfire IMMEDIATELY contrasts with Daniel, creating a disciplinarian atmosphere in place of Danielâs formerly loosey-goosey attitude. Which is interesting, and it works! I mean, itâs not how I would parent, but it does work. Doubtfire makes the kids to their homework, rather than watch TV, and then attempts to make dinner. Instead, though, the dinnerâs ruined, and Daniel orders takeout and makes it LOOK like homemade food. And it looks good, too! Danielâs full of hidden talents.
After dinner, as Mrs. Doubtfireâs leaving, Lydia apologizes for backtalking her earlier, and thanks her for making her mom happy with everything she did that evening. he also says that sheâs still a bit messed up about her dad being gone. And yeah, itâs sweet-but-sad.Â
Going forward (and in a montage set to Aerosmithâs Dude Looks Like a Lady), Mrs. Doubtfire takes care of the family, and Daniel even betters himself to become a better Mrs. Doubtfire. Which...to be honest, Daniel REALLY shouldâve done this before. I get that he needed the pressure of losing the kids to do this, but...look, Daniel really wasnât that responsible of a parent, and the fact that THIS is how he learns to be so is...not great. Like, hereâs an example, OK: take Donald Trump.
Yeah, I know, whatâs this politics doing in my peanut butter? And WOW, that reference is older than me, but anyway. Letâs say that, in two years, a new politician comes on the scene, and her name is Karyn Walldottir. She has somewhat centrist views, and behaves in a way thatâs inclusive to the majority, and backs up her claims and promises with evidence (at least true enough for us to suspend our disbelief). This is, of course, Donald Trump disguised as a woman in order to gain custody of the United States of America again. Naturally.
Karyn Walldottir gets elected in 2024, and all of her policies are markedly different from Trumpâs and Bidenâs, but leaning closer to Biden in progressive standpoints (assuming that that worked for him come 2024). While Trump is doing this specifically to be president again, he ends up revising his personal policies, and being a better person and president for the country. A literal impossibility, I know. But suspend your disbelief to ask this question:
WHY THE FUCK WOULDNâT HE DO THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE? IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE!
OK, now that that dumbass (and mildly horrifying) thought process is concluded, letâs get back to Mrs. Doubtfire. In the process of Mrs. Doubtfireâs ingratiation with the family, Mirandaâs been dating Stu, whom Mrs. Doubtfire subtly insults when they meet. And yeah, Danielâs being a little petty here, but it makes a bit of sense at least.
That night, after an accidental intrusion by Chris when Mrs. Doubtfire is going to the bathroom, Danielâs basically forced to tell Chris and Lydia his little secret, which Lydiaâs happy about, but Chris is understandably weirded out about. But, they agree to keep the secret from their mom and younger sister.
At his OTHER job, delivering film reels from a TV station, he witnesses the filming of an extremely boring kids educational TV show, and comments as such to another man watching. As he quickly learns, this is the owner of the station, Jonathan Lundy (Robert Prosky), on whom Daniel makes a good impression.
In the meantime, Mrs. Doubtfire has a talk with Miranda about their love lives, real and fictional. Daniel realizes how badly Miranda had been suffering in their marriage, which she never told him because...well, he never seemed to take anything seriously. Which is entirely fair...but this is why Mirandaâs a tricky-ass character. Sheâs got two sides: thereâs the justified caring mother and strong woman, and thereâs the PETTY ASSHOLE who genuinely doesnât care about Daniel or his feelings AT ALL. Jesus.
And Stu...look, Stu is LITERALLY a Gary Stu, whoâs mostly perfect. Sure, heâs not always been that way, but he definitely is now! Heâs responsible, wealthy, in love with Miranda AND her kids. And yeah, at a country club that heâs a member of (OF COURSE he is), he privately badmouth Daniel in front of Mrs. Doubtfire, calling him a loser, and...yeah, heâs not really unjustified in that statement. Fact of the matter is, Stu is barely even a plot device.
Meanwhile, in Danielâs day job, he finds himself alone in the studio, where the toy dinosaurs from the TV show are still sitting on the table. He plays with them, gives them voices, sings some songs, and impresses Mr. Lundy, whoâs there in the shadows after all that. Heâs impressed, and invites Daniel to dinner to talk about a potential future show at the network.
But then, itâs also Mirandaâs birthday coming up, and Stuâs holding a dinner for her, to which Mrs. Doubtfire is invited. Trouble is, itâs at the OH FUCK IT. YOU know what this is. Itâs at the same time and place as the Mr. Lund meeting yaddayaddayadda LOOK. We ALL know how this is going to end. Itâs the GODDAMN LIAR REVEALED TROPE AGAIN. And hereâs the thing:
I FUGGINâ HAAAAAATE THE LIAR REVEALED TROPE
You know, that thing in movies (especially family movies of the â90s) where somebody starts off a situation with a lie, they get deeper and deeper into that lie, grow close to people under false pretenses, and then OH NO! THE LIAR IS REVEALED! And everybodyâs angry and/or sad, the liar slumps off, defeated and broken, but then realizes the error of his ways, while everybody else realizes the same thing, and he comes back to vindicate himself, and is welcomed back with open arms. And it introduces unneeded tension AND I HAVE ALWAYS FUCKING HATED IT.
Letâs list the examples, shall we? A Bugâs Life, Aladdin, Mulan, The Road to El Dorado, Chicken Run, How to Train Your Dragon, Klaus, Madagascar 3: Europeâs Most Wanted, Megamind (SUBVERSIVE MY ASS), Over the Hedge, Rango, Toy Story, Steven Universe (the whole Pearl/Sardonyx arc, which went on for WAY too long), the list goes on and fucking on. And I GODDAMN HATE IT. Not to say it canât be done well. Disney actually usually does a pretty good job with it, and Dreamworks uses it A LOT, but almost always pretty well. But sometimes...GOD. Either way, itâs still used FAR too fucking much. And look. Hereâs another one. Joy.
Look, at this point...I will freely admit that I'm biased against this trope, but itâs also obvious where this is headed. Basically, Daniel switches back and forth between the dinner with the family, and the dinner with Mr. Lundy. With Mr. Lundy, he gets absolutely SMASHED. Great. Great decision, Daniel.
So, yeah, Mrs. Doubtfireâs also smashed, which is pretty goddamn apparent to them all. At this point, Iâm wondering why Daniel, as Mrs. Doubtfire, didnât just say she was sick as hell, and had to go home. Or, considering the fact that Daniel proposes her as a show idea regardless, the switch wasnât even necessary! And that means that none of whatâs about to happen, happens. Or, hereâs a crazy thought, maybe Daniel shouldnât have POISONED STUâS FOOD WITH CAYENNE PEPPER THAT HEâS ALLERGIC TO!Â
YEAH! Because that causes Stu to go into anaphylactic shock for a hot sec, causing him to choke. Mrs. Doubtfire does the right thing and gives him the Heimlich maneuver, and in the process, SURPRISE! ITâS BEEN DANIEL ALL ALONG! BUH BUH BUHHHHH DA DA DA DAAAAA DA
Yeah, so Miranda is understandably ENRAGED by this revelation, and itâs all over. Daniel represents himself in court at the custody hearing, but the judge deems his âlifestyleâ dangerous for children. Which...yikes, Judge, that statement didnât age well AT FUCKING ALL. But, given Danielâs admitted stupidity with this whole idea, heâs not wrong about the dangerous part. But, I have to say, Danielâs speech in his own defense is nice...although he also says heâs addicted to his children, so letâs throw a second yikes on there for good measure.
The speech moves Miranda...but not enough to prevent Daniel has his custody stripped away from him! GOD THEY BOTH SUUUUUUUUCK. Danielâs a broken man, and Miranda and the kids are similarly broken without him and Mrs. Doubtfire. However...Danielâs career isnât broken AT ALL, as Mrs. Doubtfire is now a kidâs show host! Yeah! And sheâs a hit! And again, it brings me to wonder why Daniel DIDNâT APPLY HIS OBVIOUS TALENTS LIKE THIS IN THE FIRST GODDAMN PLACE
Realizing that she made a mistake, she goes to the set during the filming of a show. She congratulates him on the show, and he replies by stating how broken he is now! Thanks, Miranda! Well, after an argument, and after Miranda sees how badly sheâs messed up someone she used to care for, they come to an agreement: joint custody. FINALLY GODDAMN IT
And good, because I donât want them back together. I have to give this film props for that: they acknowledge that these two are NOT good for each other, and they deliver a message in the end: families are families, no matter how theyâre shaped. One mom, one dad, uncle or aunt, grandparents, adoption, two separated or divorced parents...oh, also, two dads or two moms. Yeah, that isnât said in Mrs. Doubtfireâs final monologue, which is odd considering Danielâs brother and his life partner...but itâs also kidâs TV in the â90s, so I guess that sadly makes sense. And with that, and their new family arrangement, Daniel takes his kids on an afternoon out, as himself.
...Look. Thatâs Mrs. Doubtfire, yaddayaddayadda LOOK. I donât dislike this movie. In fact, here: have this mini-Review:
Cast and Acting - 9/10: Good, although Brosnan was a little stiff.
Plot and Writing - 5/10: Itâs an idiot plot, what can I say? Itâs actually based off of a book, which was a surprise to me, but it was adapted by Randi Mayem Singer and Leslie Dixon, and...eh. Still an idiot plot.
Directing and Cinematography - 8/10: Itâs Chris Columbus, you get what you get. Definitely has that Home Alone flair to it.
Production and Art Design - 8/10: I mean, yeah, the Doubtfire disguise was good most of the time, but...I dunno, I could still tell it was Robin. But, still, it was good. Took 4 hours of makeup, fun fact.
Music and Editing - 8/10: Music by Howard Shore (ooh, Howard Shore!) was pretty nice, especially the ending theme. Editing by Raja Gosnell was...RAJA GOSNELL???
OH GOD. Yeah, OK, I see what happened here. Also, I didnât know he was an editor! I just know him as the director of the Scooby-Doo films, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, The Smurfs films, Big Mommaâs...
...OK, no, I am not doing Big Mommaâs House OR the Madea movies. THE TROPE-BUCK STOPS HERE! I am moving on to something else! But, of course, I have to sum this up in a Review. See you there!
