#and so many of them try so hard to be edgy

[omgitskaii]

destiel first date idea

first of all: it’s deans idea. he’s never had what he would consider a serious long-term relationship. of course that’s not to downplay his relationships with cassie and lisa, they were serious for him too, but deep down, he never believed either of them would last no matter how bad he wanted it. he was never the kind of guy who’d take them out to dinner or treat them to things… it’s not for lack of trying, mind you. with cassie, he was still out hunting on his own and she had her own things; they had different lives and they made it work, it just wasn't something they did. with lisa, dean was just at a rough period for a long time, and even when he did get better, he busied himself with whatever work he could get. deans definitely thought about it, but it was also just in his nature to do that stuff casually... homemade meals, long car rides. he never went over the top or anything. but cas deserves nice things, and dean wants to do this… and honestly, he’s never actually been on a “serious” date before. so, yes, it’s his idea.

however, that’s about the only smart idea he has when it comes to this date.

dean asks, and cas says yes. obviously he says yes, but deans still the tiniest bit nervous that he’ll say no. he’s totally certain there was a 50/50 shot where cas would say no, when in reality there was a 98% chance that cas would’ve said yes (that leftover 2% was if cas was feeling exceptionally cruel or, more on the nose, if dean was being a dick that particular day.)

dean gets dolled up, which, by his standards, is just putting on a flannel that doesn’t have blood stains on it and a shirt that doesn’t have a hole in it… which was considerably hard, so he bought some nice new clothes at a walmart. cas’ usual attire underneath his trenchcoat was good enough for a date, and neither of them (read: dean) wanted sam catching wind of any of it. they claimed they were doing a simple salt and burn that would take a few hours, and to not wait up.

cas doesn’t have any concept of what a date really is, aside from the knowledge he'd gained from those cheesy hallmark romcoms dean liked to put on some nights, so really there are no real steaks here. but to dean there was. he was gonna give this guy the best god damn date of his billion year old life. he was gonna show him what he’d been missing out on down on earth. dean had a plan that he was totally certain, from his countless hours of research (read: movie watching), would guarantee cas to have a good time. it wasn't gonna be like how it was in his 20's. maybe this is where dean goes wrong.

the first of many things that go wrong is that dean decides to set them up at a restaurant.

he was excited about making his entire plan up that the angel part of cas kinda slipped his mind… granted, that’s his whole thing. blame a guy for trying so hard, right? and, honestly, the place he picked out is nothing fancy. it’s the kind of restaurant you’d pass along a strip, and where instead of taking a seat at the bar like they usually would, they take a booth instead, somewhere quiet and intimate. that’s the winchester standard of fancy, really.

it’s right when they enter the dingy little diner and sit down that dean realizes when cas gently reminds dean that he doesn’t eat. he mumbles a pathetic little “right, yeah,” and his leg bounces under the table out of nerves. cas gently knocks his feet against his to quiet it, and he takes the menu anyway.. whether out of pity or a faux-casualness dean isn't sure. he prompts dean on what sounds good, and when the waiter comes to take their order, cas still gets something to ease deans mind and slides it over to him when deans polished off his own plate. they talk about anything and everything, conversations that last long after their (deans) meals, their feet tangle up underneath the booth, and cas actually laughs at some of the things dean says. dean was kinda liking the low, edgy rock filling in the silence of the restaurant, but that’s the greatest thing he’s heard all night. all day. all month, really.

even though he'd fumbled hard at first and made a smooth recovery, deans still a bundle of nerves. he’s nervous as all hell because he’s gotta make this good. strike one is for being stupid enough to take cas out to a nice dine-in when the guy cant even friggin’ eat. he’s fidgeting a bit when he pays, and he coughs awkwardly when they up and leave, and dean holds the door open for him... an angel of the lord. deans about to kick himself for it, but cas smiles anyway and thanks him.

now deans itching to make it good. like he’s got something to prove. he walks alongside cas, brushing his shoulder against his and cas, bless him, doesn’t make a stupid mocking comment about ‘personal space’ like he always does. that’s something deans never lived down since they got together, after cas had discovered what a clingy bastard he’d become. the second strike is that deans too much of a fucking coward to reach out or even ask to hold cas’ hand on the way to the car, their hands brush awkwardly and when he can just wrap his pinky finger around his, dean darts away when an older looking gentleman stalks past them with a rather judgmental aura.

phase one is done. deans got so much planned, his next step was to take cas to the movies… but once he sits behind baby’s wheel he realizes that with all the time they’d sat down talking, they’re 40 minutes late to the damn movie. deans fumbling now, because by the time they get there the movie would be over and cas doesn’t eat the friggin’ popcorn so what’s the point? in all honestly, he assumed he’d crash in burn at dinner, so by his standards, he's still doing phenomenal. he thought that he had this entire thing set up, and despite his nerves and everything, he was actually having a nice time with cas. he’s drumming his fingers on the wheel, blabbering, trying to smooth out this horrendous pot-hole in the road about how they could go to an arcade instead or do some cliche chick flick shit just to get the idea out there, how they could go to the arcade (eugh...) or to the park (barf…)

and as much as he hates it, the offer of grabbing a motel spills out over the thrumming nerves, and he regrets it almost instantly. the idea itself sets him on edge and fills his stomach with lead; the warmth of laughter and good company dies and leaves him feeling... younger. in all honestly, dean doesn’t even want to. this isn’t some hook up, this is cas… but ending up in motel is just how things like this went for dean. the thing is, is that if cas wanted to, he would. because dean wouldn’t deny him that. but… the idea of a date with the looming expectation of sex as a reward for modesty and kindness makes dean want to throw up now. maybe 20, hell, maybe even 10 years ago that wouldn't have been in issue. but it’s different now. it’s not like dean doesn’t want to have sex with cas… it’s just he really doesn’t want to right now. he didn’t want this to have strings attached, like this is just a game of give and receive; dean doesn’t want it. but he will, if cas did.

but cas doesn’t bite. he’s staring as dean fumbles through his own internal turmoil. because he can't hide a damn thing from him. and all cas does is smiles and says “I have an idea.”

he asks dean to drive.

they don’t have a particular destination in mind. dean lets him put on some tapes, even goes as far as to let cas put on his own music through an adapter sam had pestered him into getting for the impala. it’s mostly a combination of deans music, and one or two pop songs that claire and jack had recommended to cas. the drive is long, almost endless, filled with just the two of them talking. that seems to be a thing they'd do all the time, and it feels like this isn't even a date at all. it's just them. dean, cas, and an open stretch of road. deans hand ends up slipping off the wheel and cas takes it so easily dean doesn't even notice until they lapse into a comfortable silence and cas' thumb rubs over his worn knuckles. it's nice. it's fucking great.

cas directs dean at some point to pull into a nice isolated side of the road, nestled between a few trees that would probably be the perfect spot for a lurking cop car to catch speeders. there's an open patch of field across from them, fenced in with a few horses still roaming around as the sun sets, the sky mostly painted in watercolours of blue and spots of pink, orange, and red, with stars blinking out into existence. the two of them wander out to babys hood and sit there. the windows are rolled down with low rock and crickets, and they sit together. it's peaceful. it's nice. it's way better than whatever dean had planned by a long shot.

maybe peace was all they need. maybe all they really need is eachother.

they sit on babys hood and hold each other, pressed up shoulder to shoulder, holding hands as cas points out a few constellations dotting the sky, how they came to be, what angel made them, and other space-angel-crap dean only pays half-attention to. he'd rather be staring at cas, as cheesy as it is, and see the stars reflected in the vast blue galaxy of his eyes. he wonders if his eyes are made of stars, if his bones are built from stardust from the millions of years ago that he was born. he wonders if cas is a planet, and if he's just caught in his orbit, the way he tries to press himself impossibly closer. he wonders if they'd kiss right now, if it'd feel like a supernova, if his grace would bleed into him and brand him a new star. he wonders if he could feel the spark of it on his tongue. he wonders if he could taste ozone on his lips.

cas nudges dean and points out into the distance. he says something about the north star. how it always brings you home.

there are stars in cas' eyes.

and he's right.

comic fans aren’t saying that we hate the fact that cherik are in the mcu we just hate how badly it’s going to affect the comics (and how it’s CURRENTLY affecting the comics) Charles and erik’s relationship is one of the staples of x men and they’re literally ruining it before our eyes since they’re bringing them to the mcu, and let’s be honest the comics are 10x more important for these characters then the movies (changes in the comics can change how the characters are portrayed in the movies so who knows maybe they’ll bring lilandra to doomsday to fight off the cherik gay stuff like what happened to the fox movies ahem ahem charles and moira stuff) It’s not only affecting cheriks dynamic and relationship ofc but also the other characters and where the storyline of the modern comics is heading!! so much regression has been going on!! the comics have been backpedaling into old storylines that we’ve heard thousands of times to appeal to the movie watchers + 97 fans.

now i dont want to say we're SCREWED INDEFINITELY..... waters are def rocky is all ima say...

"any demonological catalog" there are like a million demonology books on the market right now and most of them source Gustav Davidson's Dictionary of Angels, which names all the fallen Watchers across the Books of Enoch.

Whats the difference between a demon and fallen angel? I can't find any of the fallen watchers from Enoch 1 in any demonological catalog

There is no difference.

Astro notes, with love. ♛

it’s been years since i’ve done this, so let’s get to it. Here are some Astro observations I personally have based on love life. disc: these are my personal observations and interpretations.

⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺ ⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺ ⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺ ⁺‧₊˚ ཐིཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺

- there is a huge misconception when it comes to Scorpios being these bad/edgy characters, who are obsessive with their lovers. All those stereotypes apply more to Pisces. Pisces are the most intense and scary lovers, for both their friends and lovers. They will actually do crazy things for the person they love. Scorpio are far more soft and sweet imo

- Saturn in the seventh house really yearn for a deep love, however they always seem to get into some trials and tribulations. It’s like whenever they ask for something in love they get what they want, but it’s not quite what it seems to be. They need to go through a lot before figuring out what they truly want, then things go smoother.

- Virgos admire their partners a lot, and some of this admiration can twist into jealousy (not all, but some). They mimic you out of admiration (mutable) however it can twist into resentment.

- Jupiter in the 8th house tend to attract very providing partners.

- mars square Pluto energy is very chaotic, it is more of a sexual placement rather than a love one. when it comes to the individual holding the mars placement, they tend to always feel constricted by the plutarian individual. It can cause a very passionate sex life but rocky love life.

- Venus in Pisces love to be chased. Even if the placement is in a more masculine individual, they don’t mind if the other party chases after them unlike other individuals. They will welcome it fully which can make a connection interesting or exhausting.

- Capricorn suns are always very selective when it comes to their lovers/partners, sexually and romantically. They tend to be relationship individuals, especially the feminine ones.

- strong 12H placements are always so chaotic when it comes to mentally dealing with partners it’s so hard for them to find someone that they feel comfortable with. Sometimes they really self sabotage.

- leo suns l have strong positive outlooks with their love lives, which makes many feel comfortable. They are true optimists, but if you taint that view slightly they will have no hesitation to cut you off fully ngl I admire that

- Venus in virgos are really hard to satisfy when it comes to love. It can be very intimidating for some.

- libra risings, ngl im a bit envious of you. How can you guys effortlessly be in relationships and find strong matches? It’s like they have a deep intuition on how to match with the right people. They can make really good matchmakers for others too. It’s the Venus.

- Leo mars need to be told and given affirmations in their relationships a lot if they’re not, they will head out.

- for Sagittarius when it comes to their love life need to have an outlet when they are young. Date who they need to date and let it out, don’t try to hold them down if they are on the move. Once they let it out then they settle down later in life.

MY JASON TODD HEADCANONS ! j.todd x reader

"Careful, sweetheart. Arguing with me is starting to sound like foreplay."

— content: mention of weed/cigs, a tiny drop of melancholy maybe? idk

© fromdove— All rights reserved. Reposting, translation, or modification of these works is strictly prohibited, regardless of whether credit is given.

∿　 　 . `💭` ㆍ

Jason smokes.

Cigarettes, when he’s angry. Weed, when he’s in pain. He knows you hate both. So he keeps it outside, far from you—lights up on rooftops or the fire escape. (even though his thoughts always drift back to "they wouldn't like me doing this"). He always showers & brushes his teeth very excessively before he climbs into bed.

He reads banned books.

Not because he wants to be edgy—but because something in him has always gravitated toward the things people tried to bury. The books that were too violent, too honest, too messy for polite shelves. The ones that made people uncomfortable because they told the truth and didn’t flinch.

He’s funny when he lets his guard down.

Not the loud kind. More like the quiet sarcasm that slips out mid-argument and makes you roll your eyes even as you smile. He likes making you laugh. Acts like it’s not a big deal, but the corners of his mouth always twitch when he gets you to lose it.

He’s loyal in a way that’s hard to explain.

Jason Todd doesn’t half-love anything. If you matter to him, you matter. He’ll show up every time. No questions, no hesitation. Even if he’s limping. Even if he’s been up for 36 hours. Even if he said he wouldn’t. Especially then.

He’s bad at talking about feelings, good at showing them.

He’ll change your oil. Pick up your prescription. Memorize your coffee order down to how many ice cubes go in the cup. If he ever says "I love you," it comes out quiet and unceremonious, usually when you’re half-asleep and unlikely to make it a big deal.

He reads more than you’d expect.

Mostly things with messy characters who make bad decisions and get bloody trying to fix them. He’s got a thing for underdogs, for people who claw their way out of the dark (lmao). He underlines lines that hit too close to home and never talks about them. But if you pick up his book and ask, he’ll sit there and try to explain—even if the words don’t come out quite right.

He has opinions about coffee that no one asked for.

Will passionately debate pour-over vs. espresso as if world peace hangs in the balance. Drinks his black but keeps oat milk in the fridge because you like it, and that’s the closest he’ll come to saying “I’m trying.”

He’s deeply suspicious of happiness.

Joy, to Jason, is a trapdoor. But yours? Your laugh, your fingers in his hair, your bare feet on the kitchen floor—he can’t help it. He keeps coming back to you like a moth to a flame. Singed, a little bitter, and completely undone.

He keeps a spare key to your place in his boot.

Doesn’t tell you. Just likes knowing he could walk in, any time, and find you there. Like home is a person and not a place. Like love is a door he never thought would open again.

He hoards your things.

A sock (?? he's weird.), a receipt you forgot to throw out, lipgloss/chapstick, a grocery list with your handwriting. He won’t throw them out. They stay tucked in his pockets, his jacket lining, his duffle bag, the glovebox of his bike. It’s not sentimental, he swears. But every time he finds one, he holds it like it’s breakable.

He sleeps like a boy who doesn't trust the dark.

It takes time. He tosses. His body flinches like it remembers too much. But if you’re beside him, something in him loosens. Not all at once, but enough that he can drift. Your fingers in his hair help. So do your sleepy mumbles when you turn over and hook a leg around him without even waking up.

On the one hand, it's true that the way Dungeons & Dragons defines terms like "sorcerer" and "warlock" and "wizard" is really only relevant to Dungeons & Dragons and its associated media – indeed, how these terms are used isn't even consistent between editions of D&D! – and trying to apply them in other contexts is rarely productive.

On the other hand, it's not true that these sorts of fine-grained taxonomies of types of magic are strictly a D&D-ism and never occur elsewhere. That folks make this argument is typically a symptom of being unfamiliar with Dungeons & Dragons' source material. D&D's main inspirations are American literary sword and sorcery fantasy spanning roughly the 1930s through the early 1980s, and fine-grained taxonomies of magic users absolutely do appear in these sources; they just aren't anything like as consistent as the folks who try to cram everything into the sorcerer/warlock/wizard model would prefer.

For example, in Lyndon Hardy's "Five Magics" series, the five types of magical practitioners are:

Alchemists: Drawing forth the hidden virtues of common materials to craft magic potions; limited by the fact that the outcomes of their formulas are partially random.

Magicians: Crafting enchanted items through complex manufacturing procedures; limited by the fact that each step in the procedure must be performed perfectly with no margin for error.

Sorcerers: Speaking verbal formulas to basically hack other people's minds, permitting illusion-craft and mind control; limited by the fact that the exercise of their art eventually kills them.

Thaumaturges: Shaping matter by manipulating miniature models; limited by the need to draw on outside sources like fires or flywheels to make up the resulting kinetic energy deficit.

Wizards: Summoning and binding demons from other dimensions; limited by the fact that the binding ritual exposes them to mental domination by the summoned demon if their will is weak.

"Warlock", meanwhile, isn't a type of practitioner, but does appear as pejorative term for a wizard who's lost a contest of wills with one of their own summoned demons.

Conversely, Lawrence Watt-Evans' "Legends of Ethshar" series includes such types of magic-users as:

Sorcerers: Channelling power through metal talismans to produce fixed effects; in the time of the novels, talisman-craft is largely a lost art, and most sorcerers use found or inherited talismans.

Theurges: Summoning gods; the setting's gods have no interest in human worship, but are bound not to interfere in the mortal world unless summoned, and are thus amenable to cutting deals.

Warlocks: Wielding X-Men style psychokinesis by virtue of their attunement to the telepathic whispers emanating from the wreckage of a crashed alien starship. (They're the edgy ones!)

Witches: Producing improvisational effects mostly related to healing, telepathy, precognition, and minor telekinesis by drawing on their own internal energy.

Wizards: Drawing down the infinite power of Chaos and shaping it with complex rituals. Basically D&D wizards, albeit with a much greater propensity for exploding.

You'll note that both taxonomies include something called a "sorcerer", something called a "warlock", and something called a "wizard", but what those terms mean in their respective contexts agrees neither with the Dungeons & Dragons definitions, nor with each other.

(Admittedly, these examples are from the 1980s, and are thus not free of D&D's influence; I picked them because they both happened to use all three of the terms in question in ways that are at odds with how D&D uses them. You can find similar taxonomies of magic use in earlier works, but I would have had to use many more examples to offer multiple competing definitions of each of "sorcerer", "warlock" and "wizard", and this post is already long enough!)

So basically what I'm saying is giving people a hard time about using these terms "wrong" – particularly if your objection is that they're not using them in a way that's congruent with however D&D's flavour of the week uses them – makes you a dick, but simply having this sort of taxonomy has a rich history within the genre. Wizard phylogeny is a time-honoured tradition!

Bat Boys as Dads Headcanons.

Dick, Jason, Tim, Damian AND Duke included.

This could be seen as how they are as partners with child/ren, or the platonic relationship they might have with their child/ren.

☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

Warnings: Made up Headcanons, SFW, wholesomeness

☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

☁️ - Dick

The type of parent to be so excited about having a kid that they’re annoying.

And, not just to other people, but to his own kid.

This man is nothing but *proud dad noises*.

Takes pictures of every single milestone.

Crying over every single tiny moment and achievement.

Coddles even his teenage children a bit. Has a crises when his teenage kid/s find him annoying.

The devastation he gets when his kid/s goes through the I hate you dad phase. (Literally cries to Bruce.)

When his kids become adults though, they end up better appreciating him. Because he is a good dad.

If you hand him a baby, he will coo at a them and make the most ridiculous noises. But, if they cry, he will cry with them.

☁️ - Jason

This man is terrified of being a parent. Will panic up until delivery of each child he has. Even if he has like eight. Panic every time.

If he finds out he has a secret kid he will have an existential crisis that would make Bruce’s coping mechanisms look healthy.

Doesn’t know what he’s doing when parenting, but he is the cuddle master. Solves most things with hugs and jokes.

Somehow figures it out and has the closest bond with his kid/s. (Also, he accidentally curses in front of them which makes him the cool edgy dad.)

Will sometimes make excuses for his kids mentally while being strict.

Will never use physical punishment on his children. Never. If he ever has to whoop his kid/s, he would hate himself.

He is teaching them how to use a gun. And, he is buying them a gun. And, how to change a tie. And, how to hotwire a car. His dad lore is friggin nuts

Freezes when handed a baby. Goes completely still. If he doesn’t move he can’t hurt it.

☁️ - Tim

The dad that would literally be a perfect parent by the book. (He’s read eighteen parenting books, and so many peer reviewed articles about kids, and he will follow parenting blogs.)

Best routine management, hits all the milestones. Very active in making sure his child’s needs are met, even if it’s in the most unconventional ways.

Gets horrible imposter syndrome on if he’s a good dad or not. (He is, but he’s insecure.)

Absolutely terrified of emotional neglecting his child/ren. Will drop anything if he realizes he’s neglecting his kids by working too hard.

He gets the most sleep in his life when his kids fall asleep on his chest. The only time this man will sleep is if his kid curls up in his lap or if they have a nightmare.

When his kids grow up he gets misty eyed remembering they way they used to nap against his chest.

If you gave him a baby he would hold perfectly, or maybe in a weird way that somehow makes them stop crying and helps with colic or gas.

☁️ - Duke

Freaked out about being a dad, but also not. He knows he’s going to love his kid/s enough not to screw things up horribly, but the anxiety is still there.

Not gonna lie, he does his best to emulate his childhood. It could be a good habit or a bad habit.

Sucker for nastolgia and will try to recreate memories from his childhood with his kid. Taking them to a park he played in. Going on a vacation he’s been too.

Not because he wants to force them into something, but because he wants them to have the best parts of his favorite memories.

Plus, it just heals his inner child a bit seeing his kid/s happy.

Will do the “Back in my day…” as a joke, and maybe will exaggerate stuff a lil bit. Just a lil though.

So, gentle with a baby, but doesn’t coo. But, will sniff. New baby smell? Yes.

☁️ - Damian

An awkward (at first) and overprotective, yet can be too hard on his own child/ren.

Knows he didn’t have a normal upbringing, but too egotistical to admit he’s out of his depth when it comes to raising his kid/s.

(He had college degrees and kills before he hit the double digits in age. Yes, he knows he’s not like normal people, but he falls into the trap that his kid should be like that sometimes too.

When he realizes it, he does correct. But, he’s learning too.

Will sometimes push his kids too hard to do their best. But, only at the hobbies they choose. He won’t infringe on their choices.

Loves his kids in a stoic manner, but he loves them deeply and fiercely. (Won’t cry, but will get misty eyed at times.)

Deeply appreciates Bruce, Alfred, and Dick after he becomes a father. The amount of gratitude he feels is overwhelming.

Son of a bitch is natural at holding babies. Worse, they like him. (And, he likes them.)

☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

A/N: Something I polished up to give y’all while I try to get to work on Part Four of Pregnant!Reader. Just some wholesomeness.

A/N: I had my neck tube taken out yesterday, and it’s kinda sunk in that I had cancer. (Yeah, it was confirmed. Stage one thyroid cancer, but it’s been removed.) Might have had a mild breakdown. My dad had a different cancer when I was a kid (four), so he’s been talking me through things since I have small children too.

A/N: Thank y’all for all the asks wishing me well! I really appreciate y’all so much! Bless y’all!! 💕💕

dating jungkook - q&a

physical ideal type, how to catch his attention, as a boyfriend, love languages (give and receive), favorite type of dates, jealousy, etc.

based on tarot. i do not know these idols personally. energies are always changing. what i say is NOT straight fact. pls take it with a grain of salt!

what physical traits in a person is jungkook most attracted to?

well-balanced features

humble, effortless and natural beauty (i keep seeing bare faces in my mind's eye)

sophisticated, well-groomed and clean

takes good care of their appearance

curves! (especially the top area)

graceful movement

soft and pretty hands

elegance

❥ more specific traits could include:

red lips

baby face

sharp face

black hair

light hair

long hair

straight hair

white clothing

beauty marks

i keep seeing iu in my mind's eye, dressed in this long and beautiful white dress.

she sums up his physical ideal type in many ways. i can see him feeling drawn to people who have this fairy-like aesthetic.

however! i do have to say, i can see him feeling attracted to several types of looks. he's not as specific in his preferences as others; more open-minded in that regard.

for example, i absolutely see him liking girls whose aesthetics are on the “baddie” side as well. someone with tattoos or piercings, and more casual but edgy clothing. he for sure really likes it when someone just has a lot of sex-appeal.

one thing i keep getting though, is that he likes people who are well-put together and look after themselves. he definitely likes people who put effort into maintaining their looks, but don't look like they try too hard; let's say someone who works out regulary, eats healthy, takes care of their skin. things like that.

he seems like the type to like it when his partner can do both; glamorous and fancy on special occasions (like going to the red carpet together all dolled and dressed up), and more casual, laidback and natural when alone with him.

❥ possible rising signs he could feel attracted to:

capricorn

scorpio

libra

leo

what does it take to catch jungkook's attention?

he finds it intriguing when a person is intelligent, bold and wellspoken. lets say both of you are in a group of people; if all of you get into a discussion, and you're the one standing out by the way you express yourself in an eloquent, impactful and strong manner, that can very much intrigue him. people whose words have depth; a voice that doesn't raise often but once it does, it makes everyone in the room shut up and listen.

he feels drawn to individuals who are independent, knowledgeable, fair-minded and self-sufficient. i also keep hearing “frank” .. someone who's direct and honest with him. jungkook likes it when people aren't too shy or afraid to talk back at him, and humble him. he definitely enjoys a challenge and feeling like he needs to prove himself to someone first.

he also likes it when someone doesn't put him on a pedestal due to his status, and doesn't approach him with starstruck eyes, and unrealistic expectations he can't reach. he likes it when a person isn't intimidated or burdened by his presence, and is capable of simply putting his fame to the side; just see him as a human being.

how does jungkook act when someone catches his attention?

basically, man loses all focus. once someone actually catches his eye, that person can quickly become all he sees. like tunnel vision, forget about everything and everyone else, you're all i see. he can lose his inner composure, and get kinda obsessive of the thought of them. it's likely he'll struggle looking away and find himself naturally observing them a lot.

i'm in his energy, and i keep feeling like.. “oh wow, i need to be with them and approach them before anyone else can”

i can feel his possessive vein coming out quite fast, and him being worried the person might possibly be snatched away by someone else. so, it's likely for him to act quickly.

if there's an opportunity for him to get to them, he will for sure take it. though i have to say, he's definitely the self-conscious type to overanalyse things; like the way they reacted, and worry about the things he said in the heat of the moment.

how does jungkook act in the beginning of a relationship?

okay, this went deeper than i expected. i will try to keep it as understandable as i can.

as i mentioned before, and i keep getting this (the four of cups comes up without fail), this man can feel empty, lacking and apathetic a lot.. big part of the reason as to why he can get so attached to his s/o, is because he naturally puts the entirety of himself into his romantic partners.

jungkook's lovers can quickly become his safe space; his main source of comfort. the first place he seeks if he needs some peace. once he feels like he finally (this can take a while!) found a person he can comfortably pour his heart and soul out to, he can have the tendency to overdo it a little.

i just see him latching onto the person he's with, in hopes of them being able to fill this emotional void he can experience when on his own. he naturally expects a lot from them for this reason. like “i need you to fill the things i lack.”

i keep seeing an image of a diamond in my hand. imagine you found this diamond made out glass. you feel like it's so precious, because it gives you everything you asked for in life. it makes things seem brighter, more beautiful, enriches you. you will hold onto it for dear life, not ever letting it go anywhere else, out of fear of it slipping out of your grip; but this could potentially lead to the diamond breaking in your hands, since you just can't expect glass to be as hard as steel.

this reflects his dynamic with his lovers quite well; he can often make his partners the centers of his life, “dump” a lot of his expectations on to them, be immensely and obsessively protective over them out of fear of them being damaged, or taken away from him. however, this has the potential to put a lot of weight on their shoulders, which some people might have problems dealing with.

he can be contradictory in a sense, because make no mistake; jungkook will want to do all the work for you in a physical realm. it's almost like he overcompensates in the areas he's comfortable with. (especially acts of service)

he's the type to be like “don't work, i will work, you shouldn't tire yourself out. don't carry that upstairs, i will do it for you. are you exhausted? is one pillow not enough? don't worry, i will buy you two.” i can sense this genuine desire to make his lovers feel good in their relationship, and take care of them.

but, he's this case of.. you can't love anyone else in a healthy manner, if you don't learn to love yourself first.

he wants to give his lovers everything they deserve, and to an extent he does; but he still has his emotionally needy tendencies, since a lot of his inner issues remain unresolved. this as a result, can lead to jk naturally putting a lot of the relationship on his partner's back, without even intending to.

what is jungkook's love language? how does he like to receive and give?

❥ give:

acts of service

whatever he can get done for you, he will. the type to try and cook your favourite meal because you said you craved it the other day, even if he's not the best chef in his eyes. he'd probably end up embarrassed, overanalyze your reaction and tell you he's sorry about the dish being so bad. the type to love helping you out with anything; e.g. give him the task of building a new shelf you bought, he will do it and put the entirety of his effort in. i can also see him loving to drive you around, or carry your heavy shopping bags.

physical touch

he'll love to just have you close to him. it's almost like everything's okay once you're near him and he can physically feel you with him. a lot of possessive hand holding, sneaky and subtle but electrifying touches. the type to beg for a kiss over and over because he can't get enough, even if you get annoyed at some point; that'd just rile him up even more. (he'd grin all smug and amused) also random insight i got, but he seems like the type to love carrying his partners around. whether that's in a playful manner, or during e.g. the foreplay of more intimate intercourses. (like carrying you upstairs)

quality time/physical intercourse

he has a very powerful drive, and is the type to bond and connect a lot over physical intercourse. confident, incredibly sensual, intense and passionate lover in bed. i do see him letting off steam this way as well.

❥ receive:

words of affirmation

i got the empress card, which is the mother figure.

jk likes receiving comfort, support and reassurance from his lovers. he wants them to give him this feeling of “this person accepts, and loves me for everything i am.”

think of a mothers love; it's pure, unconditional and forgiving.

he's someone who desires an intuitive, and emotionally intelligent person who can give him both; tough, and soft love.

someone who's tough and honest when he needs a reality check or fist on the table, as well as a sweet nurturer, who's able to attune themselves to him emotionally, and reassure him in a gently supportive manner when he's in need of it.

he just wants someone he can have that subconscious connection and natural understanding with; a person who can almost read his mind by just one look at his face.

what kind of dates does jungkook enjoy the most?

first of all, when it comes to dates; jk likes being the initiator. the one who plans it all and has the ideas. this seems to be another way in which he likes to flex and display his affection. planning romantic and beautiful dates. let me give you a few examples that popped into my head.

romantic dinner

high-end restaurant, roses, wine, live jazz music, candlelit, dim and warm lighting, kinda like the first scene in seven -> i can also see him liking to reserve the entire restaurant out in advance, so that you're the only people in there. or planning the dinner to be on a rooftop while the sun is setting. it just needs to feel intimate.. like there's no one, but the two of you.

night walks

i can see him loving to be in a calm and serene atmosphere with his partners. he's someone who would love sneaking out at night after a long stressful day, to unwind and comfortably walk along the hangkang together with his lover, and the beautiful night scenery surrounding them. just having deep conversations and enjoying each other's presence.

educating yourselves together

he'd love to learn something together. maybe take on a new hobby with his partner; like a cooking course, or learning a new language. engaging in some kind of sport, or gym dates.

one thing that keeps coming through, is him genuinely wanting to feel like they're a “normal” couple.

he's incredibly adamant on fiercely protecting his lover from all the negative attention or haters, and escaping crazy people who try to dig their nose into their business. but at the same time, he doesn't want the relationship or his partner to feel uncomfortable. he can often seek normalcy in his private life.

how does jungkook act when he's jealous?

cold. he distances himself. if not physically, emotionally. leaves you to figure out what's wrong on your own for a while. let's say jk caught you talking to some other guy across the room; he will hate the sight and it will trigger a switch in him.

he'll feel threatened by the guy. he just taps out of sweet and accommodating boyfriend mode, into his darker and resentful energy. jealousy is something which can trigger many of his inner fears and insecurities. he might silently take deep breaths to press down his frustration and try his best not to make it obvious in his facial expression, but his face can easily drop and grow increasingly serious.

i don't see him as the type to impulsively confront his partner or be very vocal about how he feels, but moreso internalize his negative emotions and try to process them by distracting himself with other things or withdrawing into his own space. a lot of that comes from him not wanting to explode in your face, honestly. you'll have to dig slowly and approach him in a very patient way for him to open up.

he will feel left alone, there's some sadness here. he'll feel wronged, and like his fears were validated. his judgement is likely to be very clouded in that moment; even if you want to explain it as a misunderstanding, it's likely he won't wanna hear any of it for a while. he might collect information on the guy you talked to though, like asking his friends who he is, etc.

never stop deal with this so this your periodic reminder that

⬇️

!! if you see someone write different online. unless they explicitly tell you something different. leave them alone. don’t comment on their write. don’t do anything unprompted to “help” without ask. it rude annoying we heard it million times promise. !!

⬆️

some people with language disorders. agrammatism. cognitive struggles. or write with symbol base AAC that not support grammar inflections.

yes we will sometimes write different than you use to.

yes it not “correct grammar,” you so observant (sarcasm).

no it not for fun, no it not choice, no it not writing quirk.

whatever you want say, we probably heard it million times. yes even if it friendly joke - n we appreciate you friendly. but please

great that it “actually help you read/understand better than full grammar.” some people may like you tell them that. but personally not want hear it too - my way write my disability, it about me n it not on purpose it out of my control. would rather you talk about how way break down concept (something can actually control n try really hard at) as easy understand.

“this just gave stroke/seizure/whatever ‘funny’ ‘edgy’ disability” joke. not that anyone make it would listen but. shut up. it not funny to me it not funny to stroke survivors or to seizure havers.

decide stop apologize for exist if it hard read. even if you have receptive language / comprehension / reading / cognitive / etc disability - it unfortunate but conflicting accessibility exist. (yes, do understand actually, because speak from experience.)

if you want know what am say please at least put in some effort to read it.

if after genuine try, still struggle, do what you do when you see tumblr post in “perfect grammar” you don’t understand - polite ask for explain or rephrase or summarize.

it still english, or whatever language person use. unless you actual look for it be turn different language, it still english, no you not need “translate.” (no don’t care that “translate” okay in writing quirk community because again. not writing quirk)

not “fix.”

and. understand sometimes we can’t rephrase in different way, even if that different way include still write different.

personally am allow other people answer “can you rephrase” questions without go through me first, for now, because of this. - but understand this is reluctant compromise. because:

understand sometimes we still sensitive to other people rewrite explain in perfect grammar. because have long history of people refuse put effort in read our stuff but instead always give more attention to people who write perfect, even if their writing not any less complicated than ours. because have long history of be charity case n get unsolicit “help” “translate” when we never ask.

because have long history of be forcibly spoken for n be misunderstood. because people who answer may (& many times do) get it wrong & we then have to spend more effort chase down n correct when we already struggle with communication, n that other version always spread faster than our correction.

so know other people who write different, don’t allow people rephrase at all unless go through them first. please also respect that even if inconvenient.

n on that note.

unless we give you explicit permission to you (like “you specifically can do it” or like above “can do it if someone ask,” or “anyone can do it all times”). don’t. don’t rewrite what we write into correct grammar, into perfect grammar.

don’t give random disabled person unsolicited help. it not friendly it not helpful it rude n annoying. not your charity case. who even are you. no one asked.

none. of. your. business.

not need your fix. get off moral high ground.

n like everything. there some jokes n comments that *some* people who write different may be okay with if they friend with that person make it - sometimes opposite of what this post say. if you not friend with that person then. maybe don’t.

people who write different not all same. sometimes okay or not okay with different things. but. this general see.

the first time you hear about [stuff am tell you in post] probably 456737th time we re-explain it. excuse us for be exhausted n done n our time be tired n angry n impatient.

this been a PSA.

[glitter-stained]

The thing you need to remember about comics ages and timelines is that yeah it's messy there are retcons at stuff and it will never be clear and perfect. But also, DC has an interest portraying age the way they do. They have an interest in aging Barbara down so she can be Dick's pretty girlfriend with whom he raises a cute dog (and maybe a cute little family next perhaps?). They have an interest in trying to keep Tim young and draw him younger than he looks so they can milk his Robin's popularity for as long as possible. They have an interest in drawing Jason to make him look 40 when Bruce slits his throat, to make him look like a grown man fighting a teenager when fighting Mia even though they're the same age (though i mantain that mia is a little bit older), in having him call Tim kid even though they're the same age, in having him offer Tim a drink and Tim pointing out he's not legal when Jason isn't either. They have an interest in Jason looking older in Jim Aparo's art style in ADITF than he looked in precrisis or in 308. They have an interest in Steph magically looking older in War Games, where she gets tortured and brutally murdered, than the fun colourful round and much more youthful art from her Robin run. There are probably many more examples but bottom line it's not fucking innocent. DC knows how to hire artists that know how to draw children it's really not that hard. Characters who look young, characters who remind you that they are young, create more empathy; which is good when you want the public to continue to root for them, and bad when those characters challenge the status quo or that excess of empathy might create pushback after you decide to have them brutally murdered. DC can't have Batman grievously wounding and causing the death of his underage son, but if he looks as old as Batman? DC can't have Jason making a valid point about vigilantism being unsafe for Mia and relating with her with childhood sexual abuse subtext because it makes the heroes (and especially Batman) look bad, but if it looks like this is a grown ass man harassing a teenage girl, then it's clear who is the villain, it's okay, no problem. DC needs Barbara to be younger so the power dynamic between her and Dick fits their idea of a perfect little nuclear family much better and they can shove Barbara back into the role of Batgirl even though she is very much a girl rather than a woman. DC needs Steph to look older when she's tortured so they can be edgy without people being too horrified at them doing something horrifying, DC needs Jason and Steph to look older on the day they die because young looking= innocent which makes it so much harder to victim-blame. DC needs Mia to look younger than Jason so they can make it look like the good old "good victim/bad victim" dichotomy and even though that's not what the story is actually about, regardless of how much it disrespects Mia's character to do so. DC needs Jason to look ugly because it's harder to empathize with ugly people and it makes it so much clearer who is the bad guy and who is the good one, and it's a much easier dichotomy, so much more comfortable than challenging the whole mythos around which Batman is built. DC needs Barbara to be sexy in their traditional male-gaze way, because this is the audience they're trying to appeal to.

So like, I know that I'm nit-picking when I say "actually according to any and all logic Jason is younger than Tim by a couple of months and than Mia by around three years". Or when I say "they should bring back Dickbabs' old age difference" or even interact with Dickbabs as if they still have that difference and refuse to interact with Tom Taylor's version of the ship. I know comics are incoherent and the timeline is messy; but just because it's messy, just because it's always been, doesn't mean it's innocent. So I'm gonna keep nitpicking, and I'm gonna stay an annoying bitch, because I refuse to allow comics to manipulate me out of my empathy. And because I don't see everything and am very aware of how easy it is to be manipulated even when you're careful, I encourage you to add to this with things you've noticed whether it's in portrayal or in art about character age, appearance, or any other device they might use to manipulate our perception of the characters -and what narrative these resorts serve.

tattooed fingers

trafalgar law x alt!strawhat!reader

tw: slight choking, jealous law hehe

wc: 1.5k, lowercase intended !

a remark about his fingers might leave you feeling speechless

the crew was lively as usual traveling the seas on the sunny. everything was where it was meant to be except for one unknown variable: trafalgar law. the current alliance your captain accepted without much thought was questioned by all your crew mates. still they held hope in their captains decisions, and welcomed the unknown pirate on the ship. it was obvious he wasn’t much of an engager; especially when he gave blunt responses to any of the crew mates attempts of conversation.

instead he was an observer. specifically an observer of you. you stood out in the group of pirates. it was hard for him to avoid looking at you. your confident demeanor, your bold personality, and your style of clothes were all setting his attraction levels on an all time high.

he fought hard to push away the thought of your fishnets clinging to your thighs, and how he would rip them open to do unspeakable things to you. he tried to deny any sense of captivation, but when he sees your choker hugging your neck he becomes angered that it isn’t his hand choking you instead. his attempts to ignore you seemed impossible with the way your boots clanked against the deck boards. the strain it put on him to imagine how you two would sound with one of your legs held in the air and him in between.

at the end of the day it didn’t matter. you were a strawhat, so he did the best thing to make sure you stayed away from him.

he never responded to you. he never looked at you when you talked to him. he never addressed you when he talked to the group. he needed to make sure you didn’t get close to him so he wouldn’t fall for you more than he has. he buried his feelings inside him in hopes they would go away on their own.

during the day you decide to show off the new garter belt you were gifted to your crew. you were excited to finally open it up and try it on. the belt wrapped around your waist perfectly and connected with a section that hugged one of your thighs. you tightened it as you expressed your excitement to your crew. nico robin had gotten it for you knowing it would fit your wardrobe perfectly. your sense of style made her your biggest admirer (second to law). you thanked her with a big smile.

after cooping himself within the sunny the tattooed man surfaces to the deck solely for a refill of his coffee cup. during his coffee breaks he did his best to avoid you. he made the grave mistake of overhearing your conversation with nico robin about the garner belt. his eyes gazed over to your figure, and the leather belt wrapped around it. he couldn’t stop looking you up and down while fighting his feelings from resurfacing. he watched as you two laughed together effortlessly, and how she tighten the belt for you. she was dangerously close to you for his comfort.

after your laughing fit with the woman you finally saw law glaring down nico robin. after constant horrible interactions you’ve found yourself to heavily dislike the man standing near you. you crossed your arms as you spoke to him in annoyance, “can we help you? the kitchen is that way you caffeinated freak.” you pointed to the kitchen on the other side.

law snaps out of his thoughts. in an attempt to hide his emotions he responds without much thought, “so why exactly are you dressed so edgy?”

you rolled your eyes at the pure hypocrisy coming from him, “says the guy who has ‘death’ tattooed on his fingers on both hands. youre the most edgiest man i’ve ever met.”

law glances down at his fingers as a realization hits him. the reason he was so drawn to you was you two shared so many similarities. having nothing left to exchange with this man you turn back to nico robin and continue your conversation.

he spent the rest of the day trying to steal glances of you, but them just being ruined by you being so close to nico robin. he didn’t understand why you were so attached to her. if he couldnt have you then why should she?

he hated the way your conversations flowed so perfectly. how you could talk to her for hours and she would just admire you. he especially hated when you touched her arm while laughing at her joke. if he couldn’t experience those things when why could she?

it went on for the rest of the day. the two of you becoming closer and closer. the sharing of intimate platonic energy went well into the night as well.

the last thing that broke his patience completely was went she asked you if you’d like the stargaze with her. he looked at you in disbelief when you agreed excitedly. he expected you to reject the offer. a ting of jealousy crawled up his throat as you laid close to her to share a blanket. she pointed to the different constellations to show you.

“look there y/n” she points to the sky at a group of stars. you tried to follow her finger to the stars and she talks, “thats called the andromeda constellation.”

“robin i dont know what youre pointing at!” you pout slightly. nico robin takes a hold your face to help you look at the constellation properly as she connects the stars together, “do you see it now y/n?”

you nod fast, “its so pretty robin!”

the women smiled softly while starring at you, “its pretty just like you y/n.”

you blush slightly. before you had the chance to respond you hear footsteps approaching you both.

law had enough of seeing robin all over you. he could deal with you two talking and laughing together, but laying under the stars together while she called you pretty? thats where he drew the line.

he towered over you. your annoyance all starting to come back again from earlier in the day. you sat up ready to shoot him a sassy remark before you feel him grab your arm and pull you up. you try to tug your arm away, “let go of me trafalgar! what the hell do y-“

before you could process whats happening you find a blue bubble engulf you both. law activated his power to get you both away and somewhere more private.

he mumbled in annoyance not expecting you to hear, “i couldn’t stand watching her all over you like that.”

you raised a brow, “all over me? what are you talking about?? thats just how we are. not that its any if your business anyways!” you yank your arm back and cross it.

a fire lights in his eyes as he narrows them at you slowly, “so you’re both all over each other all the time..? are you serious y/n-ya?”

you were confused at his sudden acts. he was making you feel like you did something wrong. the memories of law ignoring you or being rude still fresh in your mind. you scoffed, “i don’t know what the hell you’re trying to say right now.”

law shot back without thinking, “i’m saying you need to stop that shit right now. i don’t want you cuddled up with someone watching the stars. i’m sick and tired of being in the background having to accept you be gifted stuff like this.” he loops a finger in the belt around your waist to pull you closer to him, “i like you too much for you to be tainted by these other people.”

you were shocked at the words coming out his mouth. he was probably just as shocked as you were, but the jealousy was overriding his chances of thinking logically. the thought of nico robin’s arm around your waist or the way she grabbed your face burned fresh in his mind. you pushed him away with annoyance setting back in, “all this caffeine is driving you insane.”

he shook his head, “you’re the one driving me insane y/n-ya” at this point he realized he couldn’t lock his thoughts away anymore. there was no going back, but did he really wanna go back when you stood in front of him looking so perfect?

he slowly raised his hand to your neck. he felt you tense as he brushes his fingertips against the skin above your choker. he stared at it with envy before he speaks in a commanding tone, “take this off.”

you hesitated to follow his instructions. you slowly open the clasp and take it off. the difference of having it off didn’t last long once it was replaced with law’s hand gripping your neck gently.

he smirked as he rubbed his thumb along a vein pressing on it slightly, “so what exactly were you saying about my tattooed fingers?”

Jason with his time in the league of assassins

Talia walks into the small modest room where Jason is livening in while he gets back on his feet, having a bunch of brain functions recovered takes a while to get used to. he's been doing physical therapy and occupational therapy for the last couple months, his dexterity isn't exactly back yet.

Talia: Jason? what are you doing?

Jason: well there's this thing I always wanted to try called stop motion animation, and well you got some lego's for Dami but he's a bit too small for them so.. I took them and have been animating. I was bored in-between everything, you don't have any good books I haven't already read.

Talia: well that is an acceptable pass time, what are you making?

Jason: oh it's a weird comedy spoof for kids about batman and the joker being nemesis's, I wanted to make it for Dami since well he doesn't know much about him or the other ones and he's only 3 and well it doesn't seem like much but the time I'm done he'll be 5 and be able to enjoy it. i don't know talia I'm bored and want to make something for him.

Talia: very well, if you so wish. I can get some people in to help you make it if you wish.

Jason: really?

Talia: yes, I can. it does sound like a nice gift.

Jason: oh thank you!

Many months of therapy complete, he starts to retrain and regain all the fighting skills he lost and learn some new ones. in the meanwhile, Jason and 3 other people have been making a complete feature film for Damian who's just turned 4, they were about halfway done and it was looking good.

Talia: so how's it coming along?

Jason: it's been hard and hurts like a bitch, but I'm getting better at flips!

Talia: no. not that, I mean the movie?

Jason: oh it's halfway done! me and the one man and 2 women are doing great we reshot the opening, and we are more than 68% done! so it will be ready by Dami's birthday.

Talia: he will enjoy it I believe.

Jason: of course he would, it's his first ever kids movie!

Talia: why yes it is!

many many many more months pass and it becomes Dami's 5th birthday and Jason and his crew had wrapped up, the voice acting was done mostly by himself, and the crew but he asked some of the league for other voices. eventually after scoring and mixing they met the deadline. they set up the league theatre and put the movie on.

lego batman: [voice over] Black. All important movies start with a black screen... And music... Edgy, scary music that would make a parent or studio executive nervous... And logos... Really long and dramatic logos... Warner Bros. Why not "Warner Brothers"? I don't know... Hmm... Not sure what LOA does, but that logo is macho. I dig it... Okay. Get yourself ready for some... reading. "If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change. Hooo." No. I said that. Batman is very wise. I also have huge pecs and a nine-pack. Yeah, I've got an extra ab. Now, let's start the movie.

Dami: momma? what's the movie about?

talia: your father

lego Alfred Pennyworth: Were you looking at the old family pictures again?

lego Batman: At the what? The old family... Oh, yes! I see what you mean. Look at that! The old gang. Yeah. No, I wasn't.

lego Alfred Pennyworth: I see. Sir, if you don't mind my saying, I'm a little concerned. I've seen you go through similar phases in 2001 and 2006 and 2008 and 2005 and 1997 and 1995 and 1992 and 1989 and that weird one in 1999. Do you want to talk about how you're feeling right now?

lego Batman: I don't talks about feelings, Alfred. I don't have any, I've never seen one. I'm a night-stalking, crime-fighting vigilante, and a heavy metal rapping machine. I don't feel anything emotionally, except for rage. 24/7, 365, at a million percent. And if you think that there's something behind that, then you're crazy. Good night, Alfred.

lego Alfred Pennyworth: Sir, it's morning..

Talia: *laughs*

Dami: *chuckles*

Jason: *smiles with accomplishment*

lego Batman: [Batman's song] Who never skips leg day?

Chorus: Batman!

lego Batman: Who always pays their taxes?

lego Batman, Chorus: Not Batman!

Talia: *wails with laughter*

Dami: what are taxes?

Jason: you'll know when you get older don't worry about it

The lego Joker: Are you seriously saying there is nothing, nothing special about our relationship?

lego Batman: Whoa. Let me tell you something, J-bird. Batman doesn't do 'ships.

The lego Joker: [Confused] What?

lego Batman: As in "relationships." There is no "us." Batman and Joker are not a thing. I don't need you. I don't need anyone. You mean nothing to me. No one does.

Talia: that is your father's arch-nemesis the joker

Dami: oh okay

Jason: please kill him for me

dami: okay Jason, i will avagange, e-venge, avenge your honour!

Jason: you have no idea what that means to me buddy *wipes away a tear*

Lego Robin: My name's Richard Grayson, but all the kids at the orphanage call me Dick.

Lego Batman: Well, children can be cruel.

Jason: when I first heard dick's name I unironically thought everyone was just calling him a dickhead so much that the name dick stuck, but nope turns out it's short for Richard. he even changed his name to dick, I personally would never. but he pulls it off flawlessly. *chuckles*

talia: I did not know mr Grayson preferred to be called Dick.

Dami: who's dick then?

Jason: oh he's your older brother.

Lego Robin: What? [Sees Batcave]

Lego Robin: It's the Batcave! Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygooo-! [Bumps into Batman]

Lego Robin: Batman, woah!

Lego Batman: You're darn right, woah!

Lego Robin: Wait, does Batman live in Bruce Wayne's basement?

Lego Batman: No, Bruce Wayne lives in Batman's attic.

Talia: *DIES OF LAUGHTER* oh Jason this is amazing.

Jason: I wish to impress!

Lego Robin: Hey, I was thinking. If I'm gonna be a superhero, and go on awesome superhero missions like this one, can we use code names? Mine can be Robin.

Lego Batman: I'm sorry, say that again?

Lego Robin: Robin.

Lego Batman: As in the small, Midwestern frail bird?

Lego Robin: Yeah, and I already have a catch phrase. Tweet, tweet, on the street.

Lego Batman: Hard pass.

Lego Robin: And a song. [singing]

Lego Robin: Fly, Robin, fly.

Lego Batman: Harder pass.

dami: *laughs so hard he coughs*

talia: habbibi careful, don't laugh so hard you will hurt yourself

Jason: honestly yeah you can hurt yourself badly.

LegoRobin: Wow! Look, it's the Bat-Sub!

Lego Batman: Wait, don't touch that!

Lego Robin: Over there! It's the Bat-Space Shuttle!

Lego Batman: Please keep your hands off that.

Lego Robin: Look, it's the Bat-Zeppelin!

Lego Batman: Don't touch that, either!

Lego Robin: It's the Bat-Train!

Lego Batman: No!

Lego Robin: It's the Bat-Kayak!

Lego Batman: No!

Lego Robin: It's the Bat-Dune Buggy!

Lego Batman: No!

Lego Robin: It's the Bat... Shark Repellent?

Lego Batman: [pause] Uh, actually, you can touch that. It's completely useless.

Talia: shark repelent is actually a quite useful invention why is bruce beloved not recognising it's full potential?

Jason: keep watching

Dami: does father have all those things?

Jason: sure does!

Lego Batman: We are gonna steal the Phantom Zone projector from Superman.

Lego Robin: [frowns] Steal?

Lego Batman: Yeah. We have to right a wrong. And sometimes, in order to right a wrong, you have to do a wrong-right. Gandhi said that.

Lego Robin: Are we sure Gandhi said that?

Lego Batman: I'm paraphrasing.

Talia: *laughs*

Dami: *laughs so hard he starts coughing AGAIN*

Jason: ghandi so said that btw.

lego Jim Gordon: [sees Robin for the first time] Who is that?

lego Robin: Hi, police man!

lego Jim Gordon: Is that your son?

Lego Robin: Yes, I am!

Lego Batman: [laughs nervously] Is that my son? No, that's just weird.

Lego Jim Gordon: It's weirder if it's not your son.

Jason: this interaction is based off an actual interaction between jimmy and Dick.

[batman and robin arrive at the fortress of solitude]

lego Batman: Hey, kid!

lego Robin: Yes, sir?

lego Batman: You're super nimble, right?

lego Robin: I sure am!

lego Batman: And small?

lego Robin: Very.

lego Batman: And quiet?

lego Robin: [whispering] When I desire to be.

lego Batman: And 110% expendable?

lego Robin: I don't know what that means, but okay!

Jason: bruce really did not know how to deal with a 11 year old child hellbent on murdering a mob boss, so he kept bringing him along on incredibly dangerous missions, it was always fine in the end but this sort of situation happened once.

Talia: really?

Jason: the expendable part was from a wayne tech family event, and they crushed it. but dick had to sacrifice himself to help bruce win, it was so funny. I was there.

Lego Batman: White. All important movies end with a white screen.

Talia, jason, the other 70 league of assassin members and Damien break out into applause for the movie.

Jason: THANK YOU ALL, but special thanks to Gerald, and lily and Rin!!!! I WOULD HAVE NEVNER FINISHED IT WITHOUT YOU THANK YOUUUUUUU

the audience bursts into a large uproar of applause.

What do u think of the prequels' characters fashion sense in modern context

Good question!

(I've been waiting for an opportunity like this haha!)

Rhian would enjoy wearing makeup, at least like eyeliner or something! He'd also be in debt for always getting designer brands. I think he would like most trends unless they are really flashy or tacky. I can see Rhian wearing some jewelry-- earrings definitely. Rhian would enjoy his natural curls, but maybe dye it from time to time. And Rhian would invest in expensive cologne and always wear it on him. Rhian at work or in public would be the type constantly applying touch ups, reapplying cologne, combing his hair, etc. Thrift stores are no nos for him-- new only!!! (Waste of money but okayyy) but then he'd also buy from Temu or Ali Express 🤔 Ah and his makeup is never drugstore. It's brand name makeup by celebrities or Clinque or something far from cheap.

Rafal would mostly use baggy clothing/hoodies and sweatpants and dark colors at that. Mostly black. He'd wear the same shirts (meaning, same kind but different actual shirts. Not that he doesn't change at all because I do think (or hope) he does practice hygiene.) I can see him have a helix piercing and wear a bunch of rings, and maybe one necklace that doesn't stand out too much. Rafal looks like the type to always cut his hair so it doesn't get too long-- one, because maybe he thinks he looks unpresentable and two, because I think Rhian would attack him for not maintaining himself enough. I think Rafal would have small tattoos you can barely see or are hidden by clothing, but never sleeves of them. And I think they'd be simple, symbolic things. Also, I can picture Rafal trying to dress like an edgy bad boy and get the leather jacket thing, though he wouldn't look bad with it. He *sometimes* wears some fragrance, but it isn't as strong as Rhian's. He also goes to thrift stores and finds nice things.

James: He'd be super fancy, but also have loads of tattoos. I think he'd wear his hair long and many times try to go in a tank top or something. As long as it isn't an important meeting. James would also be big on name brands but actually not be affected too much financially by it. And he isn't so quick to jump on trends, especially if they are too tacky and humiliating for him. He may also like some jewelry in order to show off his wealth and status. Also, I think sometimes James tries too hard to fit into "old money" type aesthetics and be too snobbish. He would constantly have dress shoes, or boots. He thinks sneakers are beneath him. He would also like leather, mostly for cost and fake leather is a disgrace. He can sense a knock off of a name brand from a mile away.

Aladdin. Nothing much. I think he'd be those kids that try so so so hard to act gangster. Or, unless he's with Kyma, he's sloppy and always messing up his outfits.

Kyma: Presentable, modest (meaning not too attention grabbing or over the top), and I can see her wearing pearls! She'd carry nice handbags. She wouldn't be ashamed of hand me downs or thrifting, as long as it's something wearable and lovely. Her emphasis is more on cleanliness and keeping her hair neat. She'd use natural makeup looks more often. Sometimes she wears heels, sometimes, clean sneakers or flats. She doesn't follow trends or believe in shiny and new in the fashion world.

Midas: I feel like he has perfect hair everyone envies. It's perfect curls and a lovely color. He prefers wearing gold to silver. I don't think Midas would like trends too much-- or care. Especially if something is too attention catching or tight and suffocating. He'd have earrings that are small and not too noticeable. I think Midas would go for classy or "professional" vibe. He'd like golden or darker colors, though maybe with some shades or red, he wouldn't look bad. Midas would be the kind who would ALWAYS have killer shoes. (Canonically, he wanted to pick pocket to buy boots.) They would be like Clark's or something. Rocker bottoms. Name brand sneakers. And well, nice boots.

(I only mentioned "main" ones, but if anyone wants me to do Marialena, Peter Pan, etc, feel free! Just do it in the comments or ask box!)

Thank you so much for the ask, anon. Feel free to ask anything else!

can we get another wife rant

I miss your rants

oh man haven't I sang her praise enough?

That was a trick question, it's never enough. This whole situation brought a lot of things to light, at least for me. A lot about how I conduct myself and the people I surround myself with, the choices I make and how many of them I regret - having Sushi as my wife is not one of them. I don't think I even understood how much she changed me until I sat down and thought about it for the past two weeks. I mean.. I changed myself a lot from when I was a kid, but Sushi? Pushed me to change even more. I think that's just the type of soul she is. Ya'll remember how I said I was an angry, spiteful quiet person when Sushi met me? Man, I was even worse before that. That was the mild era - growing up changes your perspective I guess. I digress - man, I was a horrible kid. Think.. anti-SJW reddit edgelord to the worst degree. And then somehow turn that into a trans man who goes to drag karaoke shows, plasters and makes ceasefire posters and is married to an autistic woman. I think that if my 13 year old self saw myself now, he'd try to kill me or he'd be so ashamed he'd dig a hole and never get out out of it. wanker back to the topic - While the change was for me (freshly discovered I might be a man and generally no longer coping well with all the issues in my life at the time. ''edgy'' didn't feel as good as being kind did), I'm glad I pushed myself head first into it. I think that if I didn't, I might have missed my soulmate. Man did she change me more. Or, well, I did, for her. I wanted her to like me so bad I ditched my horribly edgy (toxic? Hard to say, I don't think I fit into an all man friend group all that well. We were drifting apart by then either way since all the jokes became.. distasteful by time time i stopped viewing the world as a joke and more like injustice to the people i was making fun of) friends to hang out with her more. Found new people that broadened my horizons, changed my views. Made me speak. Perfect timeline in the end it seems, since we're married

.. I still find myself in my 13 year old selves shoes sometimes. I try not to, sure, I try to pick the nicest decisions daily, the kindest outcomes, but that's just in the way I... choose to behave?. I wasn't always like this - this is just a conscious choice I keep making every day I wake up. I feel like everyday I'm trying to make up for my 13 year olds actions. Sometimes I wonder if I'm lying to myself and others. Aaand I still laugh at horribly edgy jokes. I mean, just look at the one that got me in trouble. Million different ways I could have worded that, and yet. Feels like I'll never TRULY outrun that kid or the way I grew up... And then she comes in and reminds me that I already changed a lot and that I still have the power to change even more. She reminds me that love is forgiving and patient and that sometimes you ought to get a slap on the wrist and alllll you get to do it accept it and be better. Sometimes I'm truly, utterly jealous of her radiance - I fight to be better, while it seems like she was brought down to this world as an angel already. bleh
