Nikolai couldn’t help smiling devilishly as the figure strolled into his rooms in the castle. His feet propped up on the table in an echo of his former privateer nature. The sun tanned fingers wrapping around the expanse of the brandy he had been nursing. This was the home he had grown up in though a darker part of him missed the scent of sea salt air brushing against the air. The moon courting the sky and kissing the floor was something he could settle with for now. “Is there something you need, darling?”

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O
it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”
the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997
it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)
two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama
and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio
edit: it has been brought to my attention that the native american “legend” part of this post was a rumor spread by a documentary.
i have been asked to remove it, but i believe in letting my errors stand because i’m not perfect. i make mistakes

silly headcannon #2 that Bruce never got the reference that Jason always made of himself being short round (he always thought it was Jason saying he was short) until after he died and Tim, avid Indiana Jones fan made Bruce watch the movies with him, only the man breaks out crying., sobbing, full on breaking down over the two second scene that is Indy ruffling Short Round’s hair as he explains they first met when he caught the kid stealing from him, and then took him under his wing.

Jaehaera knew that not a lot of people were fond of her father, but she adored him. She had found herself always reaching for some sort of approval from him. When he did play or come around, he was truly the best to play with and to fall asleep on though that had been few and far between. He also didn’t seem to know what to do the way her Uncle does. The white blonde haired child leans back slightly from her hug. He’d promised to take her to see the dragons and it had cheered the girl up some. Yet, she was her mothers daughter meaning her mouth worked first sometimes. Besides, this was the place of safety and hope. Her big violet eyes shimmered for a moment as they looked for any sort of lie in the one eyed man’s. It wasn’t that he was untruthful often. It was that she needed that reassurance from someone who knew and loved her father. “Then why doesn’t he want to play or see the dragons like you? Why isn’t he training my brother? I love you , but I sometimes miss him.”

idk if this is accurate but i’ve felt like in previous seasons riz & gorgug have been one of the inter-bad kids dynamics we’ve seen the least of & this season has been so great in that aspect. gorgug having helped make some of riz’s magic gear. riz helping gorgug with his studies. the shared birthday party. gorgug’s gift to riz being something he himself made to protect riz. riz’s gift to gorgug being something he illegally grabbed to protect gorgug. gorgug who utilizes rage to put his body on the line for his friends & riz who will take deep levels of mental stress for his friends. even though it was within the context of a joke, riz calling gorgug an “absolute sweetie.” like yea they might not be in a band together or both part of a presidential campaign team or owlbears teammates, but they’d go to war for each other, because they’re best friends.
