I did some photo drawings again, this time using the design @bluebellowl owl made for the twins (I love them so much; they are very fancy). Also featuring @evtraininguniversitys borrower Emmet!

I have some pictures from my trip under the cut, but I went to a train and plane museum! (Mostly train pictures)

Hi, I saw requests were open and I wanted to know if you could do a comfort Drabble. Today at my Uni there was a bomb threat, and I know it’s a very sensitive topic but if it’s ok could I have some Copia comfort? Im just not having a good day

I'm so sorry you had to experience that-- and I'm very glad you're okay! My college has had bomb / shooter threats before too, so I definitely know how terrifying it is. Sending love and hugs and good vibes. It's not very long but I hope this still helps.

fluff, hurt/comfort, sfw

Copia hugs you as soon as you open the door, your feet barely even making it past the threshold before you're bundled up in his arms. You can feel his chest pressed up against yours, rising and falling in tandem with soft breathes as he takes you in. Safe and unharmed, secure in his arms and at home.

You feel him begin to pull back, an apology forming on his painted lips, but your squeeze back stops him. You tighten your arms around him and cling, and your tremors make themselves known.

"Tesoro, you're okay... everything's okay." His voice is a low murmur, a warm thing as he guides the two of you over to the couch in the living room. He sits and before you can whine, pulls you with him.

You wordlessly curl in his lap around him as he continues to reassure you. A soft sob breaks loose from your chest, the relief and fear overwhelming.

You can cry it out as much as you need, or if you can't cry that's okay-- regardless, Copia will hold you for as long as you want, as long as you need. When you're ready to face the world again, he'll take you by the hand and give it a gentle squeeze and lead you to the kitchen.

He'll make your favorite comfort food and make sure you're hydrated especially if you've cried. When you're fed and well, he'll lead you to the bedroom for more cuddles. He's already called out for tomorrow, so you can take as much time as you need in his arms. He's here for you, he loves you dearly. He'll be sure to remind you of this, over and over until you feel okay again. And then he'll continue reminding you after that as well, never too tired to do so.

Cam fouling out of her final Stanford home game is the most Crinky Brinky way to salute the Stanford fanbase 😂

"Thank you for watching me foul out every week for four years. I've got one more foul out left in me and I've saved it just for you 😘"

cardinal concept

yandere platonic batfam with a resurrected reader

a/n: because as much as i love neglected reader, dead (then alive again) reader just has so much potential

the dynamic duo, batman and robin. bruce wayne and dick grayson. then, you came along; a result of bruce’s irresponsible coupling with a young woman he’d long since forgotten about. you grow up in the nastier parts of gotham with your mother, where you’re forces to grow up faster and become more mature, until she has an accident.

after you’re mother’s untimely death, you find yourself under his care. bruce is hesitant and unsure, he’s already struggled with raising dick. he doesn’t want to fail you too. he dances around telling about batman until you happen upon the batcave, at your insistence and a few instances of you following them, he relents and lets you join.

suddenly, it’s batman, robin, and cardinal.

bruce is initially unsure what to do with you, even after you become cardinal. unlike with dick, who needed to become robin lest he go down a darker road, you’re only cardinal because of him. it draws out an agonizing guilt, causing bruce to practically coddle you. but you’re emotionally intelligent, in a way bruce isn’t, you’re able to communicate with soft words and gentle reasoning instead of shouting matches and tearful pouting like your brother. you’re his angel, his sweet, understanding angel. it reminds him of his own mother. you’re kind, empathetic disposition is everything bruce needs in his life. because yes, to him, your brother needs his guidance. but bruce needs yours.

as for dick his relationship is with you as simple as this: he’s the big brother and you’re the little sibling. you can fight and argue, but you two always make up and head off to snuggle or play. you’re bond grows stronger the more time you spend on patrol— having each other’s back, getting into trouble with batman— or at school— although you’re in a younger grade, you still see your big brother at school and go to him when you have problems— or at home— snuggled up, watching a movie and eating snacks provided by alfred— you two are extremely close.

you’re little of family of four— including alfred, of course— is tight-knit. you fight and argue but always make up and you’re always there for each other.

until dick becomes nightwing and a scruffy teen named jason todd joins you. as close as you are with your older brother and father, you bond with him far quicker. maybe it’s because of how close you are in age, or maybe it’s because of your shared past experiences.

the family dynamics shift and change, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. dick grows more distant, going off with the titans. but that’s to be expected, he’s grown up now. you still visit him, of course. and he still pops by to see you. bruce, you notice, softens, almost. he’s grown accustomed to parenthood. jason is your favourite change, though. a sibling close in age, but still younger, so can justify (playfully) bossing him around. your family isn’t perfect, but it’s yours and you love it.

then, jason and bruce start fighting. dick goes off world. a fight with bane leaves you injured and out of commission. it’s just a rough patch, you tell yourself. until, suddenly, jason’s birth mother contacts him. something’s off about it. you want to tell your dad, however, jason is adamant you shouldn’t. reluctantly, you don’t, opting to go along with him just in case.

your gut, as it turns out, was right. you’re injured and unable to do much as the joker captures you and jason. you’re helpless to watch as your brother, your sweet baby brother, is beaten mercilessly with a crowbar. your voice is hoarse from screaming during your own beating and your body is sore, but despite it all, you still rasp out pleas to let your brother go. one child will be effective enough. the joker can spare one. of course, in his cruelty, he doesn’t.

you’re left aching, battered, and bruised. the ticking of the bomb serves as the count to your death. jason, brave jason, tries to gather enough strength to get up. and maybe, just maybe, he could escape if he weren’t focused on trying to save you. he won’t listen to your pleas for him to go, to leave you behind. he’s adamant upon accompanying you to your doom.

you hear the final ticks. with all the strength you have left, you move towards him. you cannot save yourself. you cannot save him. all you can do is die beside him. pressing your forehead to his, the last thing you see is your little brother’s face before the final tick sounds and the ensuing explosion consumes you.

and that’s the end of it, your journey, your life. you’re buried alongside your brother in a sombre ceremony, your uniform cased in glass as a memorial to bruce’s failures. he becomes angrier, loses himself. he’s lost two of his children and is fighting with his only remaining one. dick, is utterly furious, with himself and bruce. he blames bruce. for letting his precious siblings die, for starting them all of this heroic crusade. he blames himself for not being there, for being distant with you and jason.

alas, time marches forwards and batman needs a new robin, in the form of one tim drake. he’s a clever kid, one way too smart for his own good. one you used to babysit while his rich parents were away to earn some extra cash. it wasn’t right, leaving him with no one his age to play with. so, when you could, you’d come over. you’d soothe his loneliness. and for that, he’s forever grateful.

your influence continues beyond your death. for you life has impacted so many. barbara gordan, for example, who viewed you akin to a little sister. who fought alongside you as batgirl. you were loved by many as (Y/N) Wayne. your friends and family still hold candles for you. even as they accept your lose, they never stop fully grieving for you and the lost potential brimming inside you. then, there are those who you impacted as cardinal. as a hero, you saved numerous lives, including that of one stephanie brown, who will forever feel indebted to you and strives to become just like you.

the justice league, who knew you as one of the first sidekicks, who functioned like extended family, mourn deeply for your loss and offer sympathies to your father and brother. they will remember you and your tenacity, carrying on their pursuit of justice with you in mind. certainly villains, such as poison ivy and even harley quinn, are enraged with the joker. while you could occasionally be a pain, you were their favourite kiddie hero. and of course the likes of selina kyle and talia al ghul, your father’s paramours, women who became like family to you.

cardinal will be forever immortalized in the hearts of heroes and villains alike, your legacy of compassion and kindness living on in memories transformed into stories, your death a testament to sacrifice and love and heroism— except, that isn’t how it ends, is it? no. your story doesn’t end with your death, it’s how it begins.

and your real story begins by waking in the constricting confined of your casket, bursting out with inhuman strength, fueled by the adrenaline boost, and digging your way out of your grave, the cool mud giving way to harsh ground until you break through the service. that night, that stormy gotham eve, is the day you are reborn.

you flee then wander the streets of gotham until you regain your mind. you remember, you remember everything and you, you don’t want to go back. not to your family, not to your friends, not the life you once knew. you were given a new life. and this life, you would live for yourself.

sans your old attachments, you live encumbered, untroubled by past woes. yet, you seem to forget your festering memory, the mark you’ve left on people. you forget that while you may be willing to leave your old life behind, they aren’t as willing to let you go. especially when they learn you’re within reach.

I’m thinking of writing a fic where it is literally just Thomas getting hurt (intentionally or unintentionally) with varying levels of severity. (I might have a problem)

He’s old and his bones are fragile and there are so many stairs and the steps are uneven and the everything is a hard surface with point edges. He also refuses to rest or eat and engage in any form of self-care.

He’s exhausted and faints in the Vatican gardens. He’s walking and talking with Tedesco when he briefly blacks out from hunger and falls down a flight of stairs. He’s talking with Vincent and trips into the turtle pond. He then catches a cold because he decided to fall asleep on his soaking clothes.

He’s the victim of an assassination attempt. He hit his ankle against his desk and is down for a good 10 minutes. There’s a car bomb. He gets a false positive that his cancer is back. He gets a visit from the US Vice President and gets heart burn which everyone assumes is a heart attack.

This all happens in the span of a year so everyone is incredibly on edge.

Thomas has a crisis “the Lord saves me each and every time. I am not worthy”

Vincent is on the verge of a panic attack. He best friend/wife is almost dying all the time but by the grace of the lord is saved.

Aldo is 100% having panic attacks in his office every morning. The anxiety of today is the day his friend dies is a lot of his shoulders.

Ray is just following Thomas around at this point. Yes, he’s now the personal secretary to the Pope but his Holiness has also asked him to follow Thomas around.

Tedesco has made a strong effort is being near Thomas and forcing him to eat Italian food because he cannot have this man fainting on him again. It was already an offense to his Italian-heritage that someone was next to him hungry, his grandmother would have his head for that. Also, everyone assumed he had pushed Thomas down the stairs in the beginnings which was just rude because that is not his style. Aldo was particularly upset at him and had refused to even entertain his pleas of innocence until Thomas woke up.

Sister Agnes had seen to it that all meals are served and eaten and ordered the nuns to report back on any and all suspicious behaviors from the Dean.

The liberal and conservative wing of the Curia have miraculously come together not out of a shared vision for the future, but pure genuine concern for their fellow Cardinal because what the absolutely fuck is going on?

Cardinal Benitez moments I wish had made it into the film.

I was discussing Conclave with my mum and said that while it felt very fitting for an unknown actor to get his break with Cardinal Benitez, I thought the role could have been played with more nuance as he felt a bit one-note to me. Mum countered that she thought Carlos Diehz didn't have much to work with as the script 'just called for him to occasionally show up and look holy.' So I looked back through the book and found that Benitez does have a lot more varied moments which might have given Diehz more to get his teeth into if they'd made it into the film.

when he gets into a tiff with Bellini ON ARRIVAL at the Casa Santa Marta. Bellini says 'you probably shouldn't have come and now that you have come you probably can't go back' and Benitez is like 'well that's not up to you on either count, is it?'

then two minutes later Lomeli (book!Lawrence) is explaining the procedures of the Conclave and Benitez is like, 'aw heck, Bellini was right, I shouldn't have come.'

at dinner when Lomeli says, 'I must introduce you!' and Benitez is all 'nooooo I wanna just hide behind this pillar all evening because I'm shyyyyyyy'

(Lomeli trips over his own feet to reassure him both times it's really sweet. And I just think these moments of doubt help to highlight his courage. It's less impressive if he's calm and self-possessed the whole way through.)

In his conversation with Lomeli about whether or not he should vote for Tremblay, he almost accuses Lomeli of idolotry - worshipping the church rather than God! The Dean of the College! The largest cardinal!

And he says you're more likely to encounter the Holy Spirit in the victims of violence he's helped in his missions than in the Curia; he is NOT shy about throwing his experiences in people's faces and making them REAL uncomfortable if he thinks it will make his point.

(You can see the echoes of this conversation when Lawrence/Lomeli says to Bellini, 'I thought we were here to serve God, not the Curia - in the book, he's clearly taken Benitez' words on board)

After the bomb goes off and they're discussing what to do, Benitez gets up and says, 'excuse me, I guess this isn't proper procedure but I think what we should do is all agree to go back to the Sistine and elect Lomeli as pope' and it really makes you think, wow, this has NOT been the procedure but maybe it should be? If these people really were all united in desire to do what was best for the church and the world, wouldn't they just be able to sit down and openly discuss who they should all vote for instead of all this shadowy politicking? And Benitez cuts through that and it's actually this suggestion that triggers Tedesco's Islamophobic rant.

So yeah. More shyness and doubtfulness AND more fire from book!Benitez.

YOU think cardinal lawrence voted for himself as an act of pride and the bombing was god punishing him for it, EYE think cardinal lawrence voted for himself as an act means of taking on yet another burden he didn’t believe he was worthy to bare and the bombing was god intervening on his behalf, WE are NOT the same
