the Colchesters' dialogue at the end of Colin Alone

Colchester: In the car, hurry up. [they get in] Colin: Seatbelt. Colchester: *done with everything* Oh for the love of God Colin! [for a moment they just pant, understandable after running from the collapsing building] Colin: *confused* St. John... is this a taxi? Colchester: Yeah well the busses don't come out here, do they. Colin: *dark* No. No they don't. [more panting, sounds of sirens in the background as they drive away] Colin: *slightly incredulous, still trying to grasp the whole situation* You did... all this? Colchester: More or less. [pause] Colin: *calm voice, with only the smallest hint of teasing* How was Australia? Colchester: You wouldn't have enjoyed it. Colin: *concedes quickly, clearly no longer bitter* Probably not. *short pause* But I'd like to have been there. Colchester: *stammers uncharacteristically, struggles with what to say* I don't like you seeing this side of me. Colin: Ah... I could get used to it. *coy/hopeful smile evident in his voice* Colchester: *without missing a beat* That's what I'm worried about. *sounding more resigned than truly sad* Colin: *increasingly exhilarated, pure smiling adoration* It was... *struggles briefly to find a word for his feelings* amazing! Colchester: *more desperate now* Don't say that! Colin: Oh... *changes direction of thought* There's blood on your cardigan. Colchester: Yes. *brief, small huffs of laughter* It'll wash out. Colin: *also laughs quietly, like he can't help it* [pause] Colin: *calm voice, only very very slight desperation in it* Why did you leave me for so long? Colchester: I'm... uh... *collects himself once more* I'm sorry. Other things to do. Other people to rescue. I knew you were safe enough, until you weren't. *brief pause* You knew I was coming, didn't you? Colin: [inflection impossible to determine] Yes. *breaks off, clearly still reflecting* You did all this? ... For me? Colchester: Colin - Colin: You shot them! Colchester: Yes! Colin: ... I see. *brief pause, clearly still not completely sure how to feel* Thank you. *after another pause, another topic shift* Should I ask who they were? Who they were working for? Colchester: *voice that brooks no argument* Bad people working for something worse. That's what we're fighting now, it's why Torchwood are in hiding. Colin: What is it? Colchester: We don't yet know. But it's hunting for us as much as we are hunting for it. It's *small hesitation* another reason I hung back. Colin: *alarmed* Have you put yourself in danger coming for me?! Colchester: *almost desperate* Yes! But I... I... *stammers* I wouldn't leave you, Colin. Colin: *suddenly tired* I know. *musing* I guess I knew that all along. [pause] Colin: What now, St. John? Colchester: Now, I get you somewhere safe. Then - Colin: *interrupts him* Goodbye again? Colchester: A proper goodbye this time. And I won't be far! Or let you out of my sight again. I promise. Colin: But for how long. No- let me guess. As long as it takes. Colchester: *sighs* That's right, Colin. *darker* Whatever it takes. Colin: *almost dreamy* Saving the world... never change. *voice full of fondness* I wouldn't have you any other way. Colchester: ...Good.

Danny Is An Alternate Version Of Ra's Al Ghul And Flash Already Called Dibs On Adopting Him

Danny In All His Sleep Deprived Slightly Scuffed Up From A Fight Glory Is On His Way To Clockworks Tower To Hopefully Get A Nap And Maybe Some Homework Done When A Natural Portal Opens Up In Front Of Him And Proceeds To Unceremoniously Drop Him In The DC Verse Just Outside Of Central City Before Promptly Closing Leaving A Tired Danny Behind In A Run Down Abandoned Parking Lot.

It's Times Like This When Danny Regrets Putting Off Learning How To Make His Own Portals, Cause Now He Is Very Much Stuck For The Foreseeable Future And He Has No Idea Where Or When He Is. Luckily For Him However Central City Isn't Too Far Away, Unlucky For Him However Is That Once In The City He Realizes This Isn't His Dimension. He's Pretty Sure He'd Remember Something Called The Justice League.

So What Do You Do When Supernatural Bullshit Fails You? You Fall Back On Your Mad Scientist Roots And You Make A Portal Gun. So That's Exactly What Danny Plans To Do.

Unfortunately Staying Alive And Building Questionably Safe Portal Technology Requires Money And Supplies, So He Ends Up Wandering From City To City Doing Odd Jobs/Fixing Up Busted Tech For Cash Or Unwanted Electronics For His "Operation: Get Home" Needs. This Obviously Ends In A Few Superhero Encounter Shenanigans.

Though He Always Ends Up Back Near Central City, Both On The Off Chance The Natural Portal Will Open Up Again And Because Out Of All The Superheroes That Apparently Exist In This Universe The Speedsters Are His Favorite (Red Robin Is Solidly His Second Favorite Ever Since The Gotham Vigilante Gave Him A Large Coffee Filled With Enough Caffeine To Kill A Man).

Unbeknownst To Danny However Is That Every Hero/Vigilante He Has Encountered Has Come To At Least One Of The Following Conclusions; 1. Run Away Meta Who Is In Desperate Need Of A Good Meal/Adoption Bait. 2. Possibly Red Robin/Tim Drake Clone 3. A Good Kid But Could Possibly Be A Future Rouge If Left Unsupervised. 4. Did Bats Get A New Kid And Why Is He Here?

All Flash Knows Is That He Saw The Kid First And Therefore Has Dibs. Suck It Bruce.

Fast-forward A Few Months And Danny Gets Hurt During A Rogue Attack While Trying To Help Some Civilians Get To Safety (Old Hero Habits Die Hard (Ha Die Hard) And All That Jazz) And He Nopes Out Once Everyone Is Safe And When The Paramedics Are Busy With Other People Unaware He Left A Blood Sample Behind.

One DNA Test Brought To You By Paranoid Bat Concerns Of A Possible Red Robin Clone Later And They Find Out That Dannys DNA Matches One Ra's Al Ghul.

They Now Think Danny Is An Escaped Ra's Al Ghul Clone.

"Good" Acting

i have a theory that a lot of people say acting is "good" when they're emotionally moved by it, and a lot of cishet white people have a lifelong habit of not listening or empathising when minoritised people speak, so minority actors get called "bad" even when they display some pretty fucking amazing technical skill

Prompt 170

Once again on my Ras & Danny being training rivals thanks to time travel bullshit. 

Look, Danny knows about the league of Assassins, but he almost dies of laughter when he realizes it’s the modern name of the league of Shadows. He’s an adult now, has been for a while, he’s allowed to find the situation he’s found himself in amusing. Hell, his sparring buddy who is somehow still alive is laughing too. 

And no one else knows what’s going on, okay? This random man walked into their secret base, completely ignored the many assassins trying to stop him, and called their illustrious leader a “Little Bitch Man” and they are now fighting?

The fighting is familiar, but why the fuck is Ras cackling and saying things like “Ayreh Feek” back. Practically saying “Fuck you,” while laughing and oh Pit, they’re Bantering this is terrifying, why has Ras not won yet, why has this man not died yet and- bodies aren’t supposed to bend like that what the fuck- 

Ras on the other hand, has One friend, who is immortal like him, actually remembers the shit he complains about, is also down for saving endangered animals, and actually knows how to spar! It’s not a proper spar unless someone loses at least a hand that has to be reattached! And honestly, people nowadays should know that the proper greeting to an old friend is to instantly try to kill the other. 

[starry-bi-sky]

"Uhp-uhp-bup-bup." Danny says loudly, cutting off the crime lord bleeding all over his living room. He presses a finger to his lips, despite knowing that Red couldn't see it, and stifles his rage behind a playful smile.

He's lucky he's facing the kitchen, his back turned to Hood. He can see the fury green of his eyes reflecting back at him in the chrome of the sink, he's threatening to crush the rag in his hands. His vision is futzing out in the corners of eyes.

"We don't speak the 'J' name in this household." He says in almost a sing-song, because if he doesn't, then the Gotham oil sitting, boiling, behind his teeth and coating his tongue will spittle out and Danny's already haunting his apartment just by his mere presence. He doesn't want to haunt it more.

He can hear the whine of the lightbulbs, threatening to burst like a popped balloon. He turns the water off and and rings the rag out tighter than he perhaps should.

"You don't like the clown?" Hood asks him, and Danny's not sure if he's mocking him for it. There's a knowing lilt in his voice that throws back Danny to their first meeting on that balcony. If he were anyone else, Danny might've just punched him.

His heel turns sharply towards him, a tight smile on his face and an even tighter look around his eyes. At least he knows that the green has faded because the pounding behind his eyes are gone, his grief-born, death-made rage sizzling back beneath his veins. "I think you already know why, Ridin' Hood."

A grief like this don't stay buried, after all.

i think matthew would be scared of furbies. i think he'd see one and go oh gosh oh what IS that while laughing nervously and looking side to side like he's in a locked room with an ambiguously aggressive dog and not a toy made up of fluff and plastic. god forbid he finds out you can learn the language. | don't know what all that was, sorry man, anyway, hashtag rewind?

[temperamentalaquarius]

no way I just saw a post saying that Tim was Clark's favorite Robin. y'all are just straight up not reading comics at this point 🤣 why tf do you think that Dick's superhero name is kryptonian??? Clark basically co-parented Dick with Bruce. it's why Dick is Like That. if you don't like Dick fine that's cool he doesn't have to be your cup of tea but I'm begging you to stop taking away Dick's canon relationships, traits, and abilities and applying them to other robins. No wonder y'all think he's boring you're literally taking away all of the parts of him that make him interesting. Also not super related but Tim is NOT the CEO of Wayne enterprises, he was technically ceo for a whole 45 minutes and 26 seconds PLS stop subjecting me to this

universal healthcare is not broken and anyone trying to convince you it is is delusional and a dckrider for big health insurance. yes there are wait times but waiting for care is Not the same as being denied care.

in america your physician prescribes care and an insurer can still cuck you out of it because someone across the continent who has never met you can say: doesn’t seem medically necessary. Leaving you to handle a bill that is wildly inflated by the same insurers that just denied you.

let me drill it through your head you can pay thousands a year in premiums and still end up sick and financially burdened for years by One incident. no insurance company is Avoiding going broke by denying claims. theyre doing it to profit off your misfortune and your illness. Because healthcare fundamentally does not cost the amount that they claim it to be.
