A Persuasive Argument - dpxdc
"Great!" Danny says, clapping his hands together to get everyone's attention. The dinner table falls silent as everyone looks towards him. It's a full house today and, honestly, Danny's a little nervous. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I gathered you here today."
"It's dinnertime. In our house." Duke mutters, while doing a very bad job of concealing his yawn. He holds his fork poised over the braised beef, but, just like everyone else, still looks towards Danny before tucking in. It's intriguing enough to wait.
"Yeah, no one misses Alfie's dinner." Dick says, with a brilliant smile that Danny can't help but return.
"Precisely! What better time to talk to you all than when you're all actually here!"
"Wait, I thought you came round to work on our English essays?" Tim asks, blinking owlishly.
"I'm afraid I've lured you here under false pretences, Tim."
"This is where I live."
"I would still really appreciate help on that essay though, I mean, what the hell is Hamlet even about? I just don't get that old time-y language, like 'Hark! A ghost hath killed me!' - absolute rubbish, what does that even mean?"
"The ghost never kills anyone in Hamlet, he's there to tell Hamlet that he was murdered. Have you actually read it?"
"No, but it sounds like you have. Tim, I want this guy to help me with my essay instead. I know for a fact that you haven't read Hamlet, either."
"So? We don't need Jason, I've read the Sparknotes."
"Hi Jason, I'm Danny, pleasure to meet you, summarise Hamlet in three sentences or less."
"Am I auditioning to help you write your essays? I can't believe you’ve gone through your whole school life without reading it, it’s good!"
"Hamlet, along with a number of other classics, was banned in our house because it portrayed ghosts as intelligent and sympathetic beings rather than evil, animalistic beasts. I didn’t even get to see The Muppet's Christmas Carol until last year with Tim! It was surprisingly good, and I hate Christmas because everyone always argued and it sucked. But we're getting off topic. I—"
"No, no, please go back to that, because what the fu—"
"Boys, please." Bruce interrupts, looking to the world as if he wants to hang his head in his hands. "Danny, you were about to say something?"
"Oh, yeah, Mr. Wayne! Thanks!"
"Please, call me Bruce."
"Well, that very succinctly brings me to my point, because I'd actually really like to call you dad."
Nobody says a word. Nobody even blinks, all as shocked as the other, watching open-mouthed as Danny pulls his laptop out from beside his chair. Bruce can definitely feel a headache coming on.
"Before you say anything, I've prepared a 69 slide PowerPoint presentation on why you, Bruce Wayne, should adopt me, Danny Last-Name-Pending. Please save your questions, comments, and verdict until the end, thank you."

Really, really happy with how this baby blanket turned out. The colour is great, and I'm choosing to ignore the flaws in the yarn (wtf cascade). It's superwash merino, so it is soft and easy to wash for my soon-to-arrive baby nibling!

Shaking Bells Hells by the shoulders again: You had a very good recon mission just seeing the other side of the Bloody Bridge and extracting basic info in a small town. Take a moment to report back to people in power all the useful things you already learned. Get more spells/supplies from them. Then continue to the heart of the enemy. Time is short, but probably not so short that you can't take an extra hour or two to do that. Keyleth can tree teleport and she knows where you were. She just couldn't immediately jump to you because she had things to do/settle first. It's a war, powerful people can't come to your aid at the drop of a hat.

cody being a character that values order etc thriving (as much as anyone could) on kamino, an environment that appears to be highly structured and emphasises these qualities (in many ways then, cody is a product of his environment - these are qualities which were encouraged on kamino, and therefore in order to survive and, by extension perhaps protect his brothers, cody actively cultivated these qualities in himself). thus, on being faced with war (which as much as he may attempt to enforce it, lacks the order suggested by kaminoan training) cody is at a (relative) loss. as much as he tries to plan perfectly, to impose order on that which defies it, ultimately he cannot do so completely. his inability to protect those under his command completely, to cody, appears as a personal failing (he can no longer exercise or rely on order / structure to protect those around him, the war cannot be controlled by him). therefore, whilst cody is a highly capable tactician and commander, in order to protect himself from the pain of losing brothers through (what is to him) his own failing, he isolates himself socially. this of course only makes things worse. in this essay i will -

How did all the mutanimals die in your universe, you know, so I can cry more after reading the Idw comics
The Mutanimals in the AU died the same day Splinter got nearly fatally wounded during the peace treaty.
Mikey would not find out about it until after Splinter's health stabilized and Leo recovered Raph's body.
The saddest part about it all wasn't the fact that they were taken by surprise, ambushed and died swarmed by foot soldiers. It was that they actually tried contacting the brothers before perishing, but nobody answered because the brothers and Splinter were getting attacked at the same time and trying not to die.
Mikey didn't even get to say goodbye properly.
