danyal al ghul memes because i don't think i've done those yet for this au.

(the jason one is in reference to the fanon headcanon/au that Jason and Damian potentially knew each other and interacted while jason was in the league. I've thought about it before in context of this au, but haven't thought about it enough to feel inspired or motivated to make a post exploring the idea)

(diablito means, as you can guess, 'little devil'. while i'm neutral to latino jason, i think the nickname is cute as fuck and was danny's main nickname from Jason. i don't wanna touch that timeline so im not gonna decide how old they were when Jason was there.)

Skulker: i am the ghost zone's greatest hunter! i capture and hunt creatures both rare and dangerous. Danyal: a poacher?? you're a poacher?? you poach animals??Skulker:...i sense i've made a mistake of some kind.

anyways that was the day that Skulker cemented himself as Danny's no.1 opp, and still remains there to this day even if he and Vlad are both viciously fighting for second. Out of everyone in the the AP rogues gallery, Skulker will be the first to be thrown under the bus in terms of 'o shit here comes phantom fucking RUN'.

Santiago exposing Louis by his emphasis on the second syllable borrowed from the French in front of everyone pulling his heart out and everything inside it - say New Orleans - the slow crawl toward the beginning of the end. Louis sitting in front of Daniel in Dubai with his voice picked clean of Louisiana. wouldja look at these fuckin dots i've got here

[peachdoxie]

The headcanon I like to follow for why Danny's ghost half was Like That after being torn from him in TUE is that the personalities of Danny's ghost and human halves are based on how he perceives them at the time of being separated. That's pretty much what happened in Identity Crisis, with Fun Danny and Super Danny reflecting the two aspects of himself that he wanted to espouse. So it makes sense to me that if Danny blamed his ghost half for his loved ones (and Lancer) dying and saw it/him as bad and dangerous, his ghost half when separated would act accordingly.

I want to prefeance this by saying I have never read any TMNT comics so this is a Genuine question to all TMNT fans:

Has there ever been a Raph that actually nicknamed Leo “fearless”? I know I've heard different Raphs refer to him as “their fearless leader” mockingly but has he ever straight up dubbed Leo as “fearless”?

Or is this just something fanfic writers made up about them?

“Peter Strums, [Micky] Signs As Pam Pardue, Left, And Lisa Breland Watch” - The Charlotte News, July 12, 1967

“The two girls [who won a radio contest to meet The Monkees] don’t say much besides ‘Hello’ so Mike asks them question about how they won the contest and then signs the autograph books and pocketbooks pushed toward him. He talks about ruining the pocketbooks while he is signing them then says: ‘You won’t an hours worth of shopping to be mad if I leave now? I have [to].’ Next Peter Tork comes in. But Peter doesn’t just enter the room. He bounces in, the string of little bells around his neck tingling. He is grinning and he has a guitar swung across his shoulder. Barefoot, he has on white bell bottoms, a suede shirt and a necklace of beads and shells. He’s got a good heart, that boy. He is in there upholding the Monkees’ image for humor and candor and trying to entertain the two girls. He talks — to everybody in the room — the photographer, the girls, his manager, me. ‘Hi, welcome. Do you play the guitar? I can tell you do. You are looking at my guitar.’ He plays several songs, sings and whistles, but when one of the announcers claps he stops playing and says: ‘Don’t do that. You separate us by applause. You make me the performer and you the audience. You applaud and you’re saying, "Oh, that was very nice. What else can you do?" Who needs that? ‘You shouldn’t applaud. You should just join in and dig. Just glow. I pick up on glows.’ About that time David Jones enters. He’s cute but unbelievably tiny, wearing only a blue bathing suit. Without any introduction he walks over to the two girls, says hello and sticks his hand out for the autograph books. Lastly comes Micky. All grins, he is introduced around the room. […] Micky is the Monkee that really thrills them. He’s the general favorite and obviously number one with little Lisa […]. She can’t take her eyes off him but still doesn’t have much to say. So Micky and Peter begin singing together, Micky is still smiling and Lisa and Pam […] are still acting hypnotized when the mini-dressed PR girl tells me, ‘I’m sorry. They have to go to rehearsal..’” - article by Kay Reimler, The Charlotte News, July 12, 1967 The teen magazine clipping photo 3 is from explains that Peter’s beads were given to him by George Harrison.

I have unintentionally developed this whole post-Vol 2/pre-flashpoint timeline for Booster Gold and his little time travel family. There are three major components:

Rip Hunter is not around anymore. He’s not dead, obviously, but it’s reached a point in their personal timelines where they’re meant to separate. Rip can’t mentor the younger version of his dad forever nor should he. Booster has learned everything he needs to know from Rip, and now it’s time to part ways and make their own choices without the future influencing them. While Booster does occasionally come across younger and less experienced versions of Rip Hunter, all future Rips have effectively disappeared. Now separated, Booster sets up his own base elsewhere.

Booster and Michelle raise Rani in Neo-Gotham. Specifically the early 22nd century. This is Neo-Gotham at the end of Terry’s Batman career. It is more or less implied that sometime in the 22nd century, a nuclear war breaks out and gives way to the next dark ages. You can’t leave traces/ripples if they’re wiped from existence. Booster is still active in the 21st century by virtue of being an established hero there, but once keeping up appearances is over, he returns to the 22nd. Michelle stays in the 22nd century and just lives her life there.

Booster’s mystery future wife is Trixie Collins. After reuniting at some nebulous future date and going through a whole crisis together, Trixie can’t go back to her (unfulfilling) life, so Booster moves her to the 22nd century. At some point, she and Booster decide to act on the chemistry from their early years, and Rip is unintentionally conceived. Booster decides to retire from the 21st century hero scene, and they get married. But pretty early on, they realize that they’re not really romantically interested in each other. It’s partly acknowledgement of comphet society and that they’re both decidedly on the far side of the Kinsey Scale and also Booster is more or less too traumatized to truly emotionally connect to another person anymore. Booster and Trixie are still on good terms, so they stay married (and eventually come to consider each other best friends). And by virtue of being married, Trixie ends up getting more involved in Booster’s time cop thing and starts handling his logistics. They make a great team.

So from here, my brain came up with the following scenario:

Rani wants to become a superhero.

Rani-centric story idea under the cut. This one really got away from me.

The 22nd century is absolutely not a good time to get into heroics, and Rani knows that. That’s exactly why Booster chose it.

Rani has her own super power set, but it's not combat oriented. But there is this desire baked into her soul, so she takes a page (a whole chapter, really) from Booster Gold’s book. She steals a power suit and a time sphere and… doesn’t quite succeed as planned.

Instead of 1990s Metropolis, Rani finds herself in mid-21st century Gotham, the height of the legacy generation of heroes. Much to Rani's annoyance, Booster asked Nightwing and a not-quite-yet-retired Batman to keep an eye on her. It's mostly to prevent anyone else from solidly putting together that "Gold Star" is the infamous Booster Gold's daughter. Having the Bats' backing also means Rani isn't just plopped into the world with no legal records or emergency contacts.

Rani's story is mostly hijinks and heroics.

She's a D-list hero who frequently finds herself teaming up with other heroes, but she struggles to connect with any teams.

She keeps running into Legionnaires investigating some sort of intricate time travel plot and finds herself fighting alongside them to save the world. Unlike the 21st century heroes, Rani does connect with the 31st century heroes.

Sometimes, Rani also gets caught up in the Carter family business and gets swept away on a few time traveling adventurers with characters like Gold Beetle, a younger Rip Hunter (and Jack Soo), and even her baby brother, Junior.

In her downtime, Rani works part-time and does a few odd jobs here and there. Her saving grace is that she doesn't have to pay rent since she "inherited" Booster's townhouse.

Specific plot points include:

Booster's old JLI teammates immediately recognizing that Rani is Booster's daughter. They are equal parts glad that he's out there somewhere just living well instead of dead in a ditch, forgotten, and also hurt that Booster never introduced his family to them and that they had to find out from his teenage daughter.

In Time Masters: Vanishing Point #5, Booster warps their home to the end of time in order to lose the time assassins that had been chasing them. Time pirates also got to Rani in order to get the location of Vanishing Point from her, but she doesn't know it since Booster (with Trixie and Junior) abandoned the 22nd century shortly after Rani left. While the Carters frequently visit Rani, Rani doesn't have the means to visit them.

Rani overcomes her avoidance of the 31st century in order to save the world. While there, she becomes an official reserve member of the Legion. She returns to the 21st century anyway, not yet ready to give up on it.

Give me the Booster Gold: Convergence plot line, and Rani has to deal with the aftermath.. or maybe just ignore the whole Convergence thing and straight up rip off the time cancer subplot. Booster is bouncing through time uncontrollably, and Rani , Michelle, and an older Rip are chasing him down until they end up in the 90s (Rani finally gets a glimpse of the 90s and is disappointed) and find Booster in Ted's lab. Rani takes the place of N52 Booster in this. Everyone goes to Vanishing Point, and Booster transforms into Waverider. That has some wildly angsty potential.

The time cancer plot ends with Waverider returning everyone to their intended times. There's no universe-shattering crisis this time, so it's more like Waverider just isn't fully in-tune with his powers yet and fixed the anomalies by instinct rather than intent. It does mean that Rani finds herself in the 31st century and needs to be rescued from a dead planet and her own panic attack by the Legion.

Rani, fully attached to the Legion of Superheroes, officially-officially joins their group and decides to permanently stay in the 31st century as a hero.

Other notes:

There are also some implications that Booster may be nudging events in certain directions to keep the flow of time steady. Unbeknowst to Rani, Booster pre-programmed a different year and location for her to land in and disguised it as a glitch. He may or may have also arranged for some run-ins between her and some Legionnaires.

There’s a little hint at an abandoned Rani-centric plot thread towards the end of Vol 2. My guess is that there was supposed to be a 31st century arc for Booster Gold where he'd earn the trust and friendship of Braniac 5. I'm also guessing that Rani, who is shown to be a literal super genius, is more important than initially believed. She was probably supposed to be returned to the 31st century to fullfil some sort of essential role and subsequently not be adopted by the Carters because DC is allergic to happy parent-child relationships. I will be ignoring this guess.

Rani still has PTSD from Daxam's destruction and suffers from anxiety in her day-to-day. While she should have been returned to her intended place in the 31st century, she was too distressed by 1) being unadopted by Booster and 2) being in the time Daxam was destroyed and Emerald Empress is lose. Altogether, it was decided that Rani would stay with Booster and Michelle (and Rip as well, at the time). Either way, Rani refused to step foot in the 31st century, so Booster only ever brought his son of the two to visit Brainiac. Rani's knowledge of the Legion is restricted to what Booster and Junior have told her.

hii where do you think someone should start with books on british politics, particularly the stuff you tend to post about?

omg hi!! if you want to read about new labour 100% the best place to start are andrew rawnsley's two books, servants of the people and the end of the party. combined they are about 1500 pages and they can be a little overdramatised but they are incredibly interesting and readable and batshit insane and homoerotic.

otherwise i've actually only read (listened to the audiobooks of) tony blair and peter mandelson's autobiographies and im not sure i'd recommend going through what i did with 16 straight hours of blair in my ear - @afieldinengland has read more books about them than me and might be able to give more recommendations :). ones i haven't read but intend to are alastair campbell's diaries, the rivals by james naughtie, and the new machiavelli by jonathan powell. i would also rec the documentary blair and brown: the new labour revolution, which is on youtube.

Wait guys, i just remembered that in 5th grade (i was 10) I wrote a george weasley fanfic where the main character was named Jemma and she was the secret daughter of Lily and Snape and she was raised by Snape, but he was nice.😭

I hadn't thought of that in years and I suddenly remembered it. I think I had blocked that out bc it was like a traumatic memory, i have no clue what i was on😃

Anyways I haven't tried to go back and read it, so I won't put the link bc it's probably so bad, but it's on quotev and i'm pretty sure it's called 'The Snape in Slytherin' if any of y'all are brave enough to go read it. Let me know how bad it is if you do bc i don't think i'll be able to. (BTW I DO NOT SUPPORT SNILY- I HAVE NO CLUE WHY IT WAS LIKE THAT)

While I was going to check the name, i found out that I also wrote one called 'The Life of Luna Evans' about Lily's twin sister. Her love interest was James's twin name Leo😭 (might as well have just written Jily fanfic)

I have no clue when i wrote this, i literally have no recollection of it whatsoever. This was 5 years ago and I didn't even realize I had had a marauders phase before the past year

I'm also pretty sure that I wrote some sort of MHA fanfic but i'm choosing to not look at that one for mental health reasons :)

I really shouldn't be sharing this but I can't handle this information on my own, so now y'all get to know.
