I don't follow you yet but I saw you reblogged the ask me anything post. Top 5 first Batfam members, then DC chars?

Asdghjk don't worry you don't have to follow me, I appreciate the ask either way!

Top 5 Batfam Members:

Cassandra Cain: I adore Cass with my whole heart. I think her introduction is one of the strongest character introductions I have ever read, and her Batgirl solo was by and large amazing. In particular, I love how it developed her perfectionist complex and low self worth, and how it showcased her sense of humor. Her character is complex and compelling and I love her.

Damian Wayne: Little shit (affectionate). It's a shame he almost never gets written well, because he might've had a serious chance at dethroning Cass. As it stands, I love him when he's written well, and can often enjoy him even when he isn't. His character arc of coming to question his upbringing and actively working to redeem himself and learn compassion is extremely compelling, and I adore the fact that he's a loudmouth arrogant little brat. Half of R:SOB lives in my head rent free. Actually tied with Duke but for the sake of this list he's two and Duke's three.

Duke Thomas: he has SO MUCH potential!! Bc he's a newer character his characterization has been pretty consistent with no major duds imo, which is nice for a change, but more importantly than that, he feels unique and compelling. I DESPERATELY hope DC starts actually exploring the concept of a daytime vigilante in Gotham and Duke's light powers, because both have SO MUCH potential. I really love his daredevil tendencies, natural smarts, and connection to the concepts of Gotham vigilantes and villains (long explenation necessary and im on mobile) as well!

Stephanie Brown: every day I kick myself for not getting off my ass and reading through the reading lists I have saved for her. I've liked her in everything I've read, from her more cynical Spoiler to her hopeful Batgirl, and I enjoy her backstory and personality a lot. She deserved better than to get fucked over by everything and everyone including the writers.

Dick Grayson: I tend to like Dick when I read him, though I admit to enjoying him the most when he's written as a flawed character with a tendency to push people away and lash out in times of stress than the emotional support batfam member. I like his style of heroing (when written as both flippity and sociable but calculating and hypercompetent), and think his sense of humor is fun. that said it's hard for me to get truly invested in him because, like most characters who've been around for very long, his characterization is highly dependent on the writer, and his history so vast it's nearly impossible to get through.

Top 5 DC Characters in general:

Koriand'r: Listen. She's the actual love of my lide. I ADORE her. The simple concept of 'alien from a planet that doesn't censor emotions' done beautifully, resulting in a truly unique character whose love and hate are deep and intrinsically intertwined. I love her stubborn love of life even in the face of all the horrible things she's experienced just as much as I love the hatred born out of them. Queen of my heart.

Cassandra Cain/Damian Wayne/Duke Thomas: tying them to cheat this list a little, but Cass is #2 and Damuan/Duke a shared #3, for reasons listed above.

Bette Kane: I just think she's Neat! I have a soft spot for both minor character and female characters fucked over by writers, and Bette hits both. I think the fact that she's an attention-seeking B-list hero mostly in it for the fun is a fantastic breath of fresh air, and I really appreciate it especially when she's also written as confident, competent, snarky, smart, kinda manipulative, and loyal to her friends.

Jaime Reyes: His 06 solo and particularly the Reach arc is a masterpiece. Admittedly, I haven't read terribly much of him outside that, but I adore the way it develops him and sets his character. He's such a staunchely heroic and kind individual, but is still vety much a teenager who gets angry, petty, and frustrated. His powers are cool as hell and his relationship to Khaji-Da stellar. I love how they had him learn strategy and rely on smarts, not because he's underpowered, but BECAUSE not all problems can be solved with power, especially not non-lethal power. Also the fact that his family knows his identity makes for brilliant and unique interactions and I hate all versions of him that remove it.

Diana of Themyscira: she has all the problems with popular characters that have been around for forever, and it does make it hard for me to feel like I truly know her or get invested with her, but I just ADORE her character as a concept, so I actually enjoy seeing different takes on her! I'm a greek mythology nerd and adore the world of Themyscira and Diana in general, her lasso of truth is a fantastically interesting weapon, and I think her base personality traits of very compassionate, truthful, yet a true warrior are very compelling.

where do you think scarlett leithold could fit? this rp looks amazing !

thank you so much ! i think she could fit in a lot of different families : steve rogers ( adopted ), loki & sigyn, hope van dyne, black tom cassidy & eilish sullivan, caitlin snow & ronnie raymond, stephanie brown & cassandra cain ( adopted ), dan espinoza & chloe decker & lucifer morningstar, eddie brock, kara zor-el, hal jordan & carol ferris, harley quinn & pamela isley, jason todd ( adopted ), hela & thanos, koriand’r & raven roth ( adopted ), natasha romanoff ( adopted ), stephen strange & clea, bruce wayne, oliver queen & dinah lance, warren worthington iii, michael jon carter & ted kord ( adopted ) !

and if you’re interested, some familial wanted connections she could fit :

VIDAR BJÖRK-THORSON & TOVA VIDARSDOTTIR, our CHARLIE HUNNAM & EMMA MACKEY fcs are looking for a CHILD / SIBLING connection who looks like BILLIE EILISH, MARGOT ROBBIE, HENRIK HOLM, ELLIOT FLETCHER, KATELYN NACON, JOE KEERY, JENNY BOYD, NAT WOLFF / UTP who is 17-19 or 23 you DON’T have to contact prior to applying at ofichvr / tofuisms. ( but you can if you want ! ) ( tova would… die for each of them, any time any place, but also… you know how ur sibs are your best friends but also your worst enemies? .. yeah. when they’re good, they’re reALLY good - but when they’re bad, mom or dad probably has to step in eventually to referee the arguments. the dynamic would prob be different depending on whether tova is older or younger ; if she’s the eldest, then her natural protectiveness extends to them, and if they’re older… well, same, but she’s probably a little bit TOO textbook ‘annoying younger sister’ a lot of the time. it is very possible that vidar isn’t close to this child due to him not being around for AWHILE - he was in the army from age 18 to early 30s but would come home whenever he was able to - which was NEVER enough! so they could have a relationship where vidar tries and ur chara just doesn’t want that, ur chara looks up to him but they don’t rly know how to interact , etc! it is also an option for the chara to be a TWIN but thats completely up to u! please check out vidar’s INTRO for background info and more fc options! )

THEORA TREVOR, our KATE SIEGEL fc,  is looking for a FOSTER CHILD connection who looks like CAMERON BOYCE, LISA TEIGE, AMANDLA STENBERG, KARAN BARR, DAVID CASTRO, RJ CYLER, ABIGAIL COWEN, PARIS BERELC, YARA SHAHIDI, IMAN MESKINI // PLAYER’S CHOICE who is 16/17. you DO have to contact prior to applying at WVTCHFUL. ( credit to rachel for giving me part of this idea !! theora works in the e.r. and one day a kid ended up there for some reason.when it came time for them to be discharged, they had nowhere to go and theora got temporary custody while they waited for the situation to be worked out. flash forward a few days, theora is attached and filling out the paperwork to become a foster parent.  )

( we all kno the stepford cuckoos. they and their sisters - two named dead, thousands of unnamed - are emma’s clones, and though they appear to be mature, are actually, chronologically, like, five or smth, cos they were grown rapidly in tubes. it wasn’t known from minute one that they were emma’s, but the minute this became public knowledge, she accepted it and started to think of them as her daughters. diamond form, telepathic hive mind, coordinated outfits ; how much more could u want? )

GRÁINNE CASSIDY, our SOPHIE RUNDLE fc is looking for her SIBLINGS / TWO OLDER, TWO YOUNGER who look like FINN COLE, OLIVIA COOKE, CILLIAN MURPHY, EMILY BROWNING, DOUGLAS BOOTH / ANY FACE CLAIM who are anything from 20-40 YEARS OLD. you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. ( do u want to play a member of a crime fam, but ur not sure which to pick? do u want to play an irish char, but dont know what to do? if the answer is yes to the first and no to the second, but ur ok with settling, then boy o boy do i have the crime fam for you ! mutant on their fathers side and mobster on their mothers, the cassidy-sullivan’s are honestly… p hot, if i say so myself. their matriarch was left the only member of the fam after they were wiped out in gotham about ten years ago, and now they’re all getting older, the kids are restarting that specific fam business. i love the idea of them all having like… conflicting ideals, conflicting ideas for their fam, conflicting LIVES. gráinne fancies herself the head of the family right now, and at least for the minute is continuing their loyalty to the falcone’s. her sibs could want to challenge her… could be happy working alongside her… could mayb not even wanna be apart of the family - it’s honestly up to YOU ! )

JEANNIE DRAKE KENT, our STEFANIE SCOTT fc is looking for a HALF SIBLING ( via warren )  connection who looks like ( EMMA DUMONT, ASAMI ZDRENKA, RYAN POTTER ANY ½ WHITE FC ))  who is ( 19-23 YEARS OLD. ) you DON’T have to contact prior to applying.

( he was born to two degenerates in camden, new jersey. neither good parents, but he never experienced it because he was very little when he & his seven siblings were placed into the custody of the state for neglect. they were a high powered family, two mutant parents, but there’s a possibility one of the kids was human. they can be siblings or half-siblings or even cousins. or even his twin sister!! they’d be 20 or older if they’re a (half-)sibling, bc percy is youngest. go wild. ) ( thalia, more )

Also, it’s completely optional but I think it’d be cool to continue the whole 3 W tradition when naming them! Feel free to contact me if you do have any questions!)

GMA Telebabad's September Revamp

Following the revamp of the Afternoon Prime beginning with Dahil Sa Pag-Ibig and Primadonnas on May & August 2019 respectively, GMA Network is ready to have another attempt to dethrone ABS-CBN's Ang Probinsyano & The General’s Daughter, Telebabad is going to have a makeover with three shows: Beautiful Justice, The Gift and One of the Baes.

1.) Beautiful Justice

First on the lineup is Beautiful Justice starring Yasmien Kurdi (from Hiram na Anak, Hindi Ko Kayang Iwan Ka, Sa Piling ni Nanay), Bea Binene (from Dragon Lady, Kapag Nahati ang Puso, Mulawin vs Ravena) and Gabbi Garcia (from Sherlock Jr., Pamilya Roces). This is Gabbi’s replacement to the cancelled Rosang Agimat following Eddie Garcia's death last June. This marks Yasmien’s 1st primetime series after 5 years since Rhodora X. They will be joined by Derrick Monasterio (from Inday Will Always Love You), Gil Cuerva (from Sahaya, My Guitar Princess, Super Ma'am, My Love from The Star) and Victor Neri (from TODA One I Love, Inday Will Always Love You, Super Ma'am), with Gabby Eigenmann (from Contessa, Inagaw na Bituin) on a special participation role. Knowing that Victor is a known action star back in the day, he helps train the cast members to make sure that every scene is accurate and mirrors real-life situations. Beautiful Justice involves the lives of Brie Cuevas (Gabbi), the heiress of a tech company, Kitkat Bernardo (Bea), a beautician, and Alice Vida (Yasmien), an NGO volunteer. Their lives will change when Ronnie (Gabby), Alice’s husband, Kitkat’s brother, and Lance (Derrick), Brie’s boyfriend, all who are PDEA agents, died on a failed mission. It will be discovered that Black Pentagon, a powerful drug syndicate, is behind killing their loved ones. With the help of Vin (Gil), another PDEA agent, the three women will unite and bring their special skills with them to track down Black Pentagon and seek justice for what they lost. Joining the powerhouse cast of Beautiful Justice are Bing Loyzaga (from Kapag Nahati ang Puso), Valeen Montenegro (from My Special Tatay, Sherlock Jr., My Korean Jagiya), Kevin Santos (from Daddy's Gurl, Kambal Karibal), Carlos Agassi (from Victor Magtanggol), Angela Alarcon, Erin Ocampo, Will Devaughn (from My Love from the Star) and Vincent Magbanua (from The Cure). The series is directed by Mark Reyes who previously directed The Cure and Cain at Abel on primetime and his directoral chore since Inagaw na Bituin. With Beautiful Justice becoming Ang Probinsyano‘s 14th challenger, it remains to be seen if the girl power in Yasmien, Bea & Gabbi can get even with Coco Martin. Catch Beautiful Justice Weeknights at 7:45 PM after 24 Oras on GMA Telebabad.

2.) The Gift

Christmas is a few months away. With the Ber season on a roll, GMA will bring in an inspiring story to primetime with The Gift. This upcoming primetime series stars Alden Richards (from Victor Magtanggol, Destined to be Yours), along with Jo Berry (from Onanay), Jean Garcia (from Ika-5 Utos) & Elizabeth Oropesa (from Pamilya Roces, Contessa, Impostora 2017), with TJ Trinidad (from Ngayon At Kailanman) on a special participation role. Alden will portray as a blind person in the series’ later episodes. The Gift tells the story of Joseph (Alden) who was separated from his real life mother Nadia (Jean) after his father Gener (TJ) died when he was young. He grows up living a simple life in Divisoria with his adoptive mother, Strawberry (Jo) who sells fruits for a living, and adoptive grandmother, Lola Char (Elizabeth) who is a self-proclaimed fortune teller in Quiapo. Sep continues to find the silver lining amidst the harsh realities of life. One day, Sep’s life will change when he gets in a near-death experience, resulting to his loss of vision. On the bright side, Sep has been given the ability to see things beyond the naked eye. Joining the stellar cast of The Gift are Mikee Quintos (from Onanay), Ysabel Ortega (from Pusong Ligaw, On the Wings of Love), Martin del Rosario (from My Special Tatay), Mikoy Morales (from D'Originals, Sirkus, My Special Tatay), Rochelle Pangilinan (from Alyas Robin Hood, Onanay), Betong Sumaya (from Haplos, Inday Will Always Love You), Divine Tetay, Christian Vasquez (from Asintado, Ngayon At Kailanman), Thia Thomalla, Victor Anastacio & Luz Valdez (from Destined to Be Yours, The One That Got Away, The General's Daughter). The series is directed by L.A. Madridejos who previously directed My Special Tatay. This serves as a reunion of Jo Berry, Mikee Quintos and Rochelle Pangilinan who were part of their previous Telebabad series Onanay. Catch The Gift Weeknights at 8:35 PM after Beautiful Justice on GMA Telebabad. However, it's Third show One of the Baes to be led by Ken Chan and Rita Daniela who came from My Special Tatay will air on September 30.
