“Haven’t You Noticed (I’m a Star)” from Steven Universe works so ridiculously well for Leo

[lemonyinks]

The idea of the newer legion members thinking that Lyle and Brainy hate each others guts when they are actually dating/married is hilarious to me actually.

[lollytea]

Delighted myself thinking about the witch kids again, specifically their various attempts to build a replacement portal during the Summer. I'm picturing lots of brainstorm sessions that stretch late into the night and when they get tired enough, they devolve into arguing over who gets the last piece of pizza or playing truth or dare or whatever.

Hunter is feeling really proud of himself for having helped Belos rebuild a portal before. He has experience! He can make himself super useful! And then Amity 'Woman in STEM' Blight is also aiming for the same thing. She's an inventor's daughter. Her Dad's main area of expertise is using magic to power technology. She has plenty of opinions on the mechanical side of things.

Hunter and Amity either click extremely well and are plotting away at a prototype immediately or they disagree on every trivial detail and cannot go five minutes without arguing about it. There's no real resentment here. They're both just used to doing everything themselves and struggle to work as a team.

I don't think the project would get off the ground without Luz. She keeps everybody from wasting time with dud ideas because she's already spent tons of time in the Boiling Isles attempting to build a portal home. She knows exactly what WONT work cuz she's already tried it. She's also got a knack for thinking outside of the box and knows that even though glyphs are rendered useless in this realm, they can still be utilized. If she draws just the right glyph combo and finds a bit of magic for the glyphs to soak up, she's pretty sure they can light this portal's engine up.

Vee reminds them that she's still got a supply of Hexes Holdem cards, which have been working pretty well for keeping her human form. Luz, who had forgotten those things existed, nearly hits the roof in excitement.

Vee doesn't contribute much to the whole construction process, but while she does supervise. She did a health and safety course while at Summer Camp and is diligently making sure nobody is getting their asses blown up.

Portal Building is not Willow's strong suit. She does not have Luz and Hunter's experience, Amity's engineering knowledge or Gus' enthusiasm for tinkering with human technology. So she does what she does best and offers support. She hypes her smart friends up. And when they start doubting that they're actually making any progress, Willow swoops in to encourage them that if ANYBODY can build a portal, her best friends can!! Once the team realizes that they're gonna need something super strong to hold the portal upright, Willow beams. Her vines!! Her vines are tough as hell!! She can do that!!

Gus falls behind a little at first. He might be a prodigy but his skills are quite dependent on the existence of actual magic, so he struggles a bit to find his purpose here. He's very eager to work with human technology but Luz knows more about them than he does. He's smart enough to offer ideas but Hunter and Amity always come up with them before he does because they're both annoyingly STEM brained and have gotten a bit competitive about it. Gus is given the task of gathering equipment for the portal with Vee and he tries not to pout about it. After they managed to track down a half busted TV at a lawn sale, Vee takes him to a petstore to cheer him up. Gus gloomily stares at the hamsters running in their little wheels. He idly thinks about an article he read in one of his human magazines. About how hamsters in wheels can create energy. Unfortunately, hamsters aren't magic.

Cut to 2 days later when the team realizes that the Hexes Holdem cards just aren't gonna cut it. They don't possess nearly enough magic to power up a portal. It's not gonna work. All the time they've spent on this, and it's not even gonna work. They need something else. Anything else.

Luz looks like she's gonna burst into tears. Amity is pacing back and forth. Hunter is like this close 🤏 to slamming his head against the wall in an effort to rattle a genius idea out of his brain. Willow is making a valiant effort to keep everybody from having a full blown meltdown.

Gus is staring intently at Flapjack who is pecking away at the floorboards again. Then he's like "Hey....hear me out....what if-?"

Random but I think Tim Drake should be a track and field kinda person like he should be really good at running but most importantly jumping 😭

Masterlist

PT.1   PT.2  PT.4  PT.5  PT.6  PT.7

Summary: Baby Danvers Get kidnapped and it’s up to Kara and Alex to do everything in their power to save them.

Warnings: Torture, kidnapping, graphic description of injuries.

The first 2 building was just a simple 1-story building that was completely abandoned, so it wouldn't take long to search. Brainy and Nia checked the building, but it was empty there were a few box here and there, but that’s it, the second building was the same. Kara and j’onn Already checked the first floor and there was nothing. Getting to the last floor, both sister were starting to lose hope. They look around the last floor, but they didn't find you or the alien. “Brainy, are you sure those were the only location you found.” Kara asked desperately. “Unfortunately, yes, that’s all I have for now.” Kara sighed and looked at j’onn with tears in her eyes. “We will never find them in time.” J'onn took Kara in his harm.” Yes, we will ok well find them in time.”

 In a last ditch attempt, Kara used her super hearing. She was extremely surprised to hear a really faint but present heart beat, pulling away she concentrated on the sound. “What wrong?” He asked. "I think I hear something, It's coming from downstairs.” She followed the sound, it leads her to a wall on the first floor. “Hidden door, maybe.” Kara said, and J’onn shrugged. They looked around trying to find something like a button, a lever, anything that could reveal a secret door. Looking closely, Kara found a spot that wasn’t the exact shade of the wall, she pressed on it and the wall opened. 

 Behind the door, Kara saw the most horrifying sigh she could ever see. There was you on the floor covered in blood and bruises, your eyes were closed and if it wasn’t for the slight movement of your chest anyone would've thought you were dead. The was towering over you, he grabbed you by the neck and lifted you in the air. “Are you dead yet or do I need to continue?” He chuckled, he squeezed your neck more and with your eyes still close you weakly grabbed at he’s wrist. Kara was frozen there in shock, she couldn’t move, she just looked at you.

Your POV: 

You just wanted to die at this point, your entire body was hurting, you were so weak you couldn’t move nor could you scream in pain when he hit you or stabbed you with his sharp claws. 

 You knew he was there, you could feel his presence. You heard the door open, so you thought he was actually gone, but you quickly realized he wasn’t when he wrapped his hand around your neck and squeezed, cutting your flow of oxygen, you weakly tried to loosen his grip on your throat, but it was obviously a failed attempt. 

 Suddenly you were dropped onto the floor and you groaned at the impact. You heard some struggling then there were hands-on you, you whimpered and flinch in pain because the hand were touching one of your wound, you tried to move away from what you think was Vexok hands. 

 General POV: 

 “Get away from her!” J’onn scream, snapping Kara out of her trance. The Alien dropped you to the floor, right as he did, j’onn attacked him whilst Kara ran toward you. She placed her hand on your side to see how badly you were hurt, She heard you whimpered and try to move away from her, not knowing she was hurting you she pressed down harder to keep you from moving. A weak cry left your lips and that when she took her hand away, you shook like a leaf and try to move away again. “Sweetheart, it’s me, it’s Kara, it’s your big sister. You’re going to be ok. I know it hurt, I’m sorry. Could you open your eyes for me please?” Kara said, tears brimming her eyes at the sight of you like this, you slowly opened your eyes, even if your sight was blurred a little you recognized your sister’s bright blue eyes they were filled with worry. You cried in relief and happiness at the sight of her. 

 Behind her, j’onn made quick work of knocking the alien down. “Come on, we need to bring them both to the D.E.O.” J’onn said, Kara nodded and picked you up. You let out another weak cry of pain, which broke Kara’s heart even more. “I’m sorry, Honey, but I have to bring you to the D.E.O.” She said softly.

winn and brainy should have been roommates in season 3 and I will die on this hill

[owl-with-a-pen]

Didn’t even consider the possibility that Nia might use her dreams to give her and Brainy an edge in the games. That’s really funny to me. I think Brainy would 100% be in on it too, and completely ready to be like “how DARE you, she is very tired and she can sleep if she wants to” the second anyone tries to call her on potentially going into a vision during games. And he does genuinely want her to get some rest if she needs it but y’know... if she just so happens to see the cards in Alex’s hand...

Yes, you see my vision! 😉 Querl "card counter" Dox would absolutely not be above supporting his girlfriend's wrongs. Especially if it means getting a guaranteed win. (Meanwhile Alex gets closer and closer to tearing her hair out with every passing game night)

[superspoonie24]

The super friends come to Nia about their gender identity!!

Brainy: he comes to Nia pretty early on. Like once they're friends and either when they start dating or before they start dating. He talks about how his culture didnt really have gender. Just.... Conquest. So when he joined the legion and stuff and they used he, he just went along. But he doesn't really know what it means. And well. He kinda wants to try she. And they. And Xe. Xe is very nice Xe thinks. And Nia is so supportive and helps xem research different identities to try and understand the language more. Xe appreciates the research. Agender sticks out to xem a lot. It just. No gender. Yeah. That fits. So Nia uses Xe/Xem for Brainy and also they make pronoun bracelets together! So if brainy wants to use a different pronoun that day, Nia will know!

Kara: it isn't until she's been friends with Nia for years, hell probably a decade that she talks to Nia about this. Nia helped her with her sexuality crisis a while ago. And now that her and Lena are engaged, Kara is really freaking out over if she identifies with the term "wife". She tells Nia that when Cat first named her Suoergirl, she had outrage over being "girl" when Kal-el was Superman. She accepted Cat's explanation. But it still felt... Wrong. Girl of Steel. Maiden of Might. It just didnt feel.... Right. She thinks back to krypton. About how she had conflicting thoughts even back then. But when she arrived on earth, her whole mission was to blend in. So being queer... Let alone gender nonconforming, was out of the question. So now that she is finally free to be herself. She can't help but dislike being girl. It's not that she doesn't feel girl. It's more like. She's more than that. There's girl and boy and everything in between. She's kara zor-el. Girl doesn't encompass all of that. Nia talks about being nonbinary and gender fluid. Kara likes those, but they don't feel quite right. Then Nia says genderqueer and a comforting warmth explodes in Kara's heart. They talk a bit more about pronouns, and Kara leans more towards they/them. But they do like he/him and occasionally she/her? Cause it's a part of them. Just not all of them. Brainy joins them in helping make pronoun bracelets, happy to share Xer experience with 'gender' and how similar Xe feel. Kara is very happy to have bracelets and to finally get it off their chest. They brainstorm possible new hero names and costumes. Kara isn't sure if they'll go through with a change, but it is really fun to think of new ideas. Maybe they'll give Winn a buzz. Or ask Cat for name suggestions.

Alex: she calls Nia while drunk one night having a breakdown over wanting to be esme's dad. But also being a mom. And it's so confusing because she always wanted to be a mom. So why does she now want to be a dad? Why is now when she likes the idea of growing facial hair. She's already been dressing masculine. But lesbians can be masc. But how can she be a lesbian if she wants to be called sir and he him and Dada. Isn't that a bad lesbian??? Nia comforts her over the phone, and is very tempted to come over to the house and hug her. She explains he/him lesbians exists and are so very valid. And that it's okay to want this. That she's not bad. She asks about if transmasc fits what Alex is thinking, and after a solid fifteen minutes of broken sobs, Alex quietly says "maybe????". Nia reassures them and tells them it's okay. She keeps the conversation light for now, but promises that they can talk about it again when Alex is sober. And they do. And Alex doesn't commit to an identity at first, but does admit that they want to use he/they. Nia congratulates him and Alex is very happy. And then a minute later has a breakdown over if Kelly will still want them. Cause she's a lesbian and don't lesbians not like men? That way at least. Nia reassures him and encourages them to talk to Kelly. Alex has a lot of panic. So they compromise and Nia sits with them while they talk to Kelly over the phone. Kelly is ecstatic to hear Alex' truth and reassures them a thousand times over that she still loves him and no gender identity will ever change that. Hell. She falls in love a little bit more seeing Alex embrace their full self. And seeing them with stubble and hearing esme call him "Dada" warms her heart (and maybe something else too). She loves her spouse and supports him 1000%.

Just started my LoSH read, and I perhaps hurt more heart more than I should have by starting with the reboot that got them there in Zero Hour. There’s something deeply tragic about the fact that every Legion of Superheroes is born out of the temporal ashes of their predecessors. They all live with the blood of their other selves on their hands, rarely ever knowing about it or having any way to change it… or any way to change the fact that eventually, it’ll happen to them.

[strangefable]

sorry for the unhinged spam. promise i'm done, there's no more to reblog in existence

[star-mum]

My one big beef with Criminal Minds this far is Penelope Garcia not being played by a Latina actress ;-;

[hyper-homo-reblogs]

hi im uhm. i may or may not spam rb some lotr stuff in a second. fair warning

[sm-baby]

@hootbon My brainy brain............. this is based in the fact that Able would reward his champion by giving them like a day to chill at their manor and be away from the circus for a bit... he's a little more forgiving so he allows them a change of clothes to make them comfy....

I don't think he would be t h I s physically abusive to her (not directly anyway)-- its more the clothes he wanted to hurt rather than her herself U_U he might've just felt like being rough cuz it was Able related.

Also I can't draw it because It's late but I imagine the next panels would just be them sitting in her room, Pomni being groomed by the dummies while Caine just fucking STARES and doesn't leave until she's fully back to her ballet clothes.

Oh my god congrats on 7k!!! So so SO deserved in every way imaginable

Thank you lovely!!

Sirius Black x fem!reader ♡ 731 words

It’s embarrassing, how much time you spend in front of the mirror before Sirius arrives. You fix and fiddle until you’re nearly unrecognizable to yourself, until your face is a word you’ve said too many times and it’s lost all meaning. You started out with more eyeshadow than you have on now, then you’d wiped that off and tried out a lip technique you’d seen in a tutorial online. You’ve used one makeup wipe already, front and back and all folded up to get to the clean corners, and you’re honestly still not sure if what you’ve ended up with is decent or if you just can’t look at it properly anymore. You hope your dress is enough to distract Sirius if it’s horrid. 

You’re seriously considering wiping it all off and starting over again when the doorbell rings. Your heels click on the floor as you hurry to answer it. 

Sirius looks surprised when you open the door, as if he hadn’t expected to find you on the other side. “Hi,” he says. 

You smile anxiously. “Hi.” 

He’s wearing a suit, which you’d been expecting but bowls you over nonetheless. Sirius manages to make it look both formal and relaxed, his dark hair tucked behind his ear on one side and his jacket unbuttoned suavely. 

Remus claims it isn’t a big deal, this banquet his university is having, but it is. It is for Remus, because he’s receiving an award, but also (privately, selfishly) for you, because this is the first thing you’ve gone to with Sirius as his date. You’ve been on dates, and you’ve already met his friends, which he says was the important thing, but part of you is savoring the privilege of this. That he’d asked you to Remus’ event as his date. 

“Hi,” Sirius says again. He blinks at you, slow and hard. 

Shit. 

“It’s too much, right?” You take a step back from the door, hand itching for a makeup wipe. “I can take it off quickly, we’ll still have time to make it. I’ll do something simpler.” 

“No,” he says, “don’t change it, it’s…it’s nice.” 

You cringe at the hesitation in his tone. You catch your reflection in the mirror by the door, panicked and overdone, as you turn back towards the bathroom. “I promise it won’t take long. I don’t know what I was thinking, the lips are way too much.” 

Sirius’ fingers wrap harshly around your wrist, stopping you. “Don’t you fucking touch the lips,” he says. 

His eyes catch yours in the mirror. You’re frozen. Once it’s clear you’re not reaching for the wipe anymore, Sirius loosens his grip, fingers skimming up to your shoulder and toying absently with the strap of your dress. He looks almost caught in a daze. 

“Fuck.” He expels a breath. “I wish I could kiss you without fucking them up.” Your lips part in surprise, and Sirius closes his eyes like he can’t look at it. He compromises by dropping his lips to your shoulder. He kisses the bare skin reverently. “You look stunning.” 

Your heart hiccups. “Really?” 

You realize the second after you’ve asked that it sounds like you’re fishing for compliments, but Sirius doesn’t seem to care either way. He meets your gaze in the mirror again. 

“Very,” he says. His brows bunch as if in distress. “You’re killing me, gorgeous. I can’t decide whether to go to Remus’ thing and show you off or keep you here to myself.” 

You laugh. It dislodges some of your nerves. “We’re definitely going to Remus’ thing,” you say to him. “He’s winning an award.” 

“He’ll win other awards, won’t he? He’s brainy.” 

“I also didn’t get dressed up like this to stay in.” 

“Much sounder reasoning,” Sirius admits. He sighs dramatically. “Okay, but do me a favor and give me a smacker so those pretentious shits know we’re together, yeah?” 

You raise your eyebrows at him. “A smacker?” 

“A kiss, doll.” 

“I know what you mean,” you laugh. “You want me to get lipstick on your face right before this posh dinner?” 

“If it looks half as good on me as it does on you, sweetheart,” he gives a winsome crack of a smile, “no one will have a bad thing to say about it.” 

You decide it’s not worth arguing with him. Your dark lipstick looks very pretty on his cheek all evening.

Kidnapped PT.4

PT.1   PT.2  PT.3  PT.5  PT.6  PT.7

Summary: Baby Danvers Get kidnapped and it’s up to Kara and Alex to do everything in their power to save them.

Warnings: Torture, kidnapping, graphic description of injuries.

Kara flu you out of that building and to the D.E.O. Alex, Lena and a medical team were waiting for you and Kara. It took sometime, but they manage to patch you up pretty good. Kara was so worried each time you needed surgery, she as the ability to ear what was happening, but she couldn’t bring her self to do it. She was too scared to hear something like, you flat lining. When you weren’t in surgery she could be there, you required a lot of stitches and since you hate needles, Kara was there to hold your hand. Of course Alex was keeping a straight face the hole time, but it broke her heart to see you like this, weak, in pain and crying most of the time. 

You’d lost a lot of blood and if Kara and J’onn had come just a day later you’d be dead from either blood lost or hunger. He broke all your ribs and gave you 7 stabbed wounds 3 in your stomach, that did touch some organs, but it wasn’t that bad, and 2 in each leg. You were going to stay at the D.E.O for a while to let your body time to heal enough for you to go back to your apartment with someone of course. 

“Are you ok hon?” Alex ask putting more pain medication in your IV, you gave her a weak smile. ’M fine.” “I’m going to see j’onn I'll be right back.” You nodded and Alex left the room. The medication was acting fast and made you exhausted. “Go to sleep, little one, you're safe now.” Kara said reassuringly, “Could you lay with me.” She hesitated a little but agreed. 

“I’m going to see the bastard.” Alex said walking passed j’onn with rage in her step. “Not alone, you're not.” He says, walking beside her,“ I can go alone.” “You could, but what I want is information, not he’s death.” J’onn said. 

They interrogated the alien, but he didn’t give anything except, the reason he tortured you. When he said it, Alex was horrified to ear that it was all her fault, that she was the cause of your suffering. If she hadn’t killed his brother, none of that would’ve happened. “Why not me! Why didn’t you come after me? Why them!” Alex said getting closer to the glass. “Because I wanted you to feel what I felt when you murdered my own brother right in front of me.” He said with a calmness to his voice that chilled Alex's bones. ” Well, you failed.” The alien smirk for a second, then it faded. “Yeah, sadly, I did.” He said, Alex glared at him and stormed off. 

She went straight to the med bay, and she sees you and Kara together. Upon seeing her sister pace back and forth in front of the med bay, Kara got off the bed, careful not to wake you, and she walks up to Alex. “Alex? What’s wrong.” Kara asked, seeing tears in her sister's eyes, Kara grabbed Alex by the shoulder to stop her from pacing. “Alex what’s wrong?” she asked again. “It’s all my fault.” Alex said, full on crying at this point. “What’s your fault?” “It’s my fault they were tortured.” “What, how is that your fault?” Kara asked, Alex wiped her tears, but they just kept falling. “You remember a few weeks ago, when 2 Alien robbed a bank and kept people hostage?” “Yeah, what about it?” Alex hiccuped and continued. “Well the 2 alien were brothers and well one of them was about to kill someone, so I had to kill him. Well, Vexok, wanted revenge, so he kidnapped and tried to kill Y/N.” Kara nodded and hugged Alex tightly, rubbing her back. “Alex, none of that is your fault, you did what you had to do to save people, ok? It’s his fault, not yours, and I'm sure Y/N will not blame you at all.” Kara said doing her best to comfort her sister. 

They eared your heart monitor go off in the med bay, and they immediately ran in the room. 

 Down in the holding cells 

After Alex stormed off, J’onn tried to get some more information out of the alien, but the alien wouldn’t give anything. He tried to read his mind, but there was something blocking him. “Why can’t I read your mind?” J’onn ask eyes glowing red. “I have faced many beings like you but no one was quite as strong as you but steal your mind will never be strong enough to compete with mine.” Vexok said arrogantly, after a few second passed and j’onn gave up and walk out of the room. 

Going to the common room, J’onn walk up to brainy. “Hey brainy?.” “Yes, j’onn.” he replied. “Could you give me as much information as you can on the alien we’ve just captured?” J’onn asked. “Of course.” Brainy said, already getting to work.
