Sean's grandma, who passed away last week at 96, in the 40s and early 50s based on the clothing. She always loved to be put together, and she was so bubbly and sweet and kind. I only knew her as a sweet old lady with a witty sense of humor that she shared with her husband and passed to her children. I love these photos. Seeing that the brightness and light that I've known for 20 years was always there. She and Sean's grandpa travelled all over. He won sales contests at work and they got to go on several European trips as a reward. Grandpa told us about winning the contest to go to Italy when he drove us to the airport in 2019.

Grandpa has Alzheimers, and he so clearly worked hard to remember what was happening as we all showed up for the funeral. After we got through the ceremony, I ended up being the only one sitting with him in the living room, and he told me several stories over and over. Where he grew up. What his military service was like (he trained on howitzers and other large guns after being drafted for Korea). And he told me two stories I will hold very dear for the rest of my life:

He was working at Sears & Roebuck, and there was going to be a company party. A work friend asked if he was bringing anyone, and he said no, he wasn't. The work friend said, "Well, I think I know someone you'll like."

"And then he introduced me to my wife," is how Grandpa finishes that story.

And the other: After his service in Korea, he was discharged sort of by surprise. He was in Japan, and was told "Get on that truck." He figured he was getting reassigned. It was only when he showed up at the headquarters did he find out he was getting discharged. He got on a boat and got dropped off in Seattle. He called Grandma to get him. She did. And they married shortly after.

She will be deeply missed. I'll never forget going to their house my first Easter I was dating Sean. It was the first time meeting his grandparents and his aunt and uncle and cousins. I had super itchy eyes all day, and the next day, I had to call Sean and tell him to call the family and tell them I'd had pinkeye while I was there. Somehow, no one else caught it.

The last thing the pastor did at Grandma's service was have us do a call and response they always use at Easter. I'm not religious at all, but to have that be the closing moment, from Easter to Easter, it felt really nice.

Must be a Sugondese joke.

Need a teen! Bruce au where he’s exactly like Justice League! Batman and Battinson in one. That mf put the fear of every god in Ra’s Al Ghul.

Everytime he’s in a room with someone over 30 “Teenagers” by My Chemical Romance plays in the background.

Despite that, in his own way, he’s as gentle as can be with his league. Give me a young Diana who’s getting spat on and ripped apart by the media in a way not one of her male teammates get.

And she’s Wonder Woman. She shouldn’t be affected by it. And she is, anyway. Bruce relates to that in an uncomfortable degree.

“When I first became Batman, weak men tried standing in my way, too. “

“And what did you do?”

“I stepped over them.”

He has a tiny Robin he occasionally has to keep on a leash.

Give me somewhat teen mom Bruce who struggles to wrangle his unruly six year old who likes flipping from rooftop to rooftop and thinks fighting Bane is a piece of cake.

“If Tati can do it, so can I!”

“Dick,” he paused, before handing him a handfull of candy. “Wonderful emotional manipulation. Good job.”

“:D”

DC x DP Prompt: Bruce is bad at emoting but at least ghosts are empathic (too bad bat kids are not)

Was reading Twincognito on AO3 when I stumbled across this gem again:

~

" “Danny, Tim. I was just…checking in. Is everything alright?” Curse his inability to make meaningful conversation when it wasn’t a life or death situation.

They glanced at each other and shrugged.

Then Danny hauled himself out of the bed and walked over to Bruce.

Bruce tried not to let too much excitement show on his face. "

~

Now I really want to read a story where Bruce adopts Danny post Meta trafficking and is being his usual emotionally constipated self. His kids keep getting mad at him because he's treating their new meta brother who was trafficked poorly (generally being stilted in conversation with him, walking away hurriedly mid-conversation, avoiding Danny when he's feeling really awkward, etc). They think Bruce is discriminating against Danny for being a civilian, meta, dealer's pick, but really it's just Bruce being horribly socially awkward. Danny knows this because of ghost empathy and find the whole thing hilarious. The whole thing comes to a head with the Bat Kids staging an intervention in the Bat Cave.

it's so funny how da2 is widely considered to be the disgrace of da games and was also made like in a year or something but it still managed to create one of the most popular characters in the franchise. varric literally became da's in-game official narrator. anders has a wikipedia page with a controversy part highlighted. everyone is talking about solas now and for a good reason but his importance to the lore & plot is literally off the charts and he's also a god. fenris made people go crazy like that while being just a guy from a side optional quest you can accidentally skip
