I am officially starting my crusade to get more people into DC's Legends of Tomorrow so here is a list if reasons YOU should watch it:
- We've got time travel
- We've got aliens
- We've got magic
- We've got the vibe of all those holodeck centric episodes of Star Trek: TNG
- We've got superheroes
- We've got valuable life lessons
- We've got (SO MANY!!) openly queer characters
- We've got an asexual character!! Still falls under queer but someone said they should be mentioned individually and I agree :]
- We've got openly jewish characters
-We've got openly muslim characters
- We've got the deconstruction of toxic masculinity
- We've got found family
- We've got middle aged men calling each other "partner" with just enough room to think that maybe something is going on between them
- We've got betrayal
- We've got hurt/comfort
- We've got revenge
- We've got a team of nobodies glued together by the unshakable bond of friendship
- We've got a John Noble cameo
- We've got soulmates
- We've got changing your own fate
- We've got major character death
- We've got daddy issues
- We've got responsibly resolving daddy issues
- We've got irresponsibly resolving daddy issues
- We've got crossovers
- We've got everyone's favorite character, Beebo!!!
- We've got a reasonable amount of seasons
- We've got just the right amount of cringe for a show made in 2016
There is, however, one horribly downside...the show is only on Netflix. Having said that, it's not like we all don't pirate shit all the time anyway sooo...ya know.
I beg of you to please please please give DC's Legends of Tomorrow a chance!! I need to bring this fandom back!!

DAMIAN WAYNE SCHOOL HEADCANONS because school opened like 2-3 weeks ago and i need to cope
•since he is 15 years old, he is in 10th grade(not letting dc pull a tim drake and make him the same age forever)
•he used to love chemistry in the 9th grade because the first subject was alchemy if i remember correctly(dc can pry the "al ghuls are alchemists" hc(canon) from my cold dead hands)
but he lost interest in chemistry quickly after the subject passed.
•his all time favourite classes are math and art. im just sure damian's type of person that doesnt separate math and art from eachother
•why art is his favourite is a given but his favourite is math because math is a class based on problem solving(and also because he can do math easily)
but yeah ik his classmates are very very annoyed whenever he says "math is easy"
•I imagine him arguing with his english teacher the most for some reason. there is no reason other than damian is a very educated kid about the english literature(literature in general) so either he doesnt care or he correct his teacher on literally everything.
•i feel like he would either do a very detail research about the book he read and write a very long essay, or make a very short one and not enough detailed. no in between(because he misunderstood his teachers when they said to "keep it short")
•he begged his father to let him take an exam that lets him skil grades based on his level but his father refused so now he takes advanced math etc.
•him and duke see eachother in the morning regularly(insomniac duke, and damian who wakes up at 5.30 is real) and they sit down to talk about random shit till 7 am mostly(duke explained him the fnaf lore and damian talked about creepypastas real)
•he texts with maps both on their way to their separate schools and make plans to meetup after school to just hang out
•damian usually reads or draws in most of the classes since he already knows everything they are teaching but when asked a question, he does yap a lot(dc should bring back yapper damian ngl)
•bathroom breakdowns were very real for 9th grade damian(literally canon event for everyone with social anxiety or people who get overstimulated at school)
•still bullied just doesnt care about it and insults them/messes with them back to get back at the bullies(it stops after him also messing with them)
•he loves playing football and volleyball but not with his teammates(ik hes #3 frat boy hater i just feel it) so he only gets along with 2 of his teammates. i imagine their personality as scott and stiles from teen wolf so yeah
•has one(1) friend and two(2) teammates he doesnt hate in total(girlfailure and girlsuccess damian youre real to me🙌😼)
also he got multiple friends outside of school anyways lmao bro is anything BUT anti-social(to me hes also the type to join his schools projects etc or debate teams)
•he always calls his mother when he makes it to school and whenever hes leaving it because talia worries and he wants ease her worries(ultimate mother daughter duo)
•after school he has a yap session with nika and they talk about everything that happened to them that day(yapper4yapper gravebird my beloved)
•him and stephanie rant about school daily and talk about how much they hate it(but they both wont drop out since steph wants that med school degree and damian also wants it in the future(med student sisterisms real))
•jon may be going to a journalism school(i think??) but hes still a science nerd so their study sessions always turns into an argument about an equation or a science problem
>>> so i think thats it!! please tell me your headcanons too and help me cope with school also because i love reading about hcs(esp thosr about damian) <<<<

Back at it again with the half asleep prompts and boy howdy is this a prompt. Well kinda? It's more a rant of what I'm desperate to see more of in DP x DC fics with some ideas of how to utilize it within.
So we all know the episode where freakshow hypnotized Danny with the red rock. I desperately want this rock used more in DP x DC fics and would do absolutely anything to see it happen. I know the first one freakshow used was destroyed but tbh if it's a mineral there's definitely bound to be more of it.
So many incidences with so many villains could happen from this there's absolutely any possibility just take your pick!
There could be a Danny and Damian are twins au where Ra's finds out the heir he thought was dead was actually alive and has powers now! Even better yet all he needs to ensure complete and utterly obedience is one little red rock. This could lead to the bats having to solve a string of murders where someone literally just grips peoples hearts or something. Something that is subtle and doesn't show up very easily that's a complete anomaly. Then upon finding out it's the missing twin and mind control they have to break him free and help him recover not just physically but mentally!
Maybe there's an au where Danny is related to someone in the batfam or dating someone in the batfam. Joker finds out and finds out the kid can easily be controlled by a little red rock. He of course uses the hell out of this to fuck with the bats even going as far to torture this kid. This could really happen with any villain. It could also be a matter of Danny bing the newest bird in the family and a villain finding a way to control a bird and use them however they want to!
This could work with interactions with other heroes too! Imagine Lex Luthor finds out about this pretty incompetent preteen with such powers he could probably take down superman if he were competent with said powers and he finds out all it takes to control said preteen is a little red rock. Of course he would abuse that and force this kid to try and deal with superman.
Imagine Constantine being the only one to realize this random ghost kid is being controlled. The JL is after him for who knows what crimes and this guy has to explain no not all gosts are evil like the leading scientists suggest and that this one specifically is pretty harmless to humans normally but some asshole with a red rock decided it would be funny to force him to do bad stuff.
Imagine his protection core getting damaged from being forced to do bad and he literally almost fades from it and whomever saves him is absolutely pissed.
Genuinely there are so so many possibilities for any flavor of au you want! I am the number 1 fan and advocate of using this silly stone in fics I'm begging yall please abuse this little red rock bring ur spin on it to the world I desperately want more fics that utilize this!
#danny phantom#dp x dc#batman crossover#dp au#danny and damian are twins#writing prompt#damian wayne#danny fenton#lex luthor#superman#john constantine#justice league#tim drake#dick grayson#jason todd#the joker#dc joker#cassandra cain#stephine brown#duke thomas#barbra gordon#freakshow#ras al ghul#im begging#yall please

Hello there!!! I was wondering if perhaps you could do either Cybertronian seeker or human reader that is female and she (you could change it to gender neutral) where she is from the TFP universe and ended up in Bayverse and she TFP’s Optimus’ lover and she spends time with the bots (all of them survived they didn't die) and she has grown close to the humans. She also has been treating Bay Optimus in a very similar way that she treats her Optimus but the thing is she has trouble telling him that they are sparkmates or married in TFP. Therefore, when a conversation arrises amongst the bots in a meeting with Simmons, Galloway and Mearing, asking about her joruney here, it ends up slipping she is in love with Optimus and ends up explaining they're conjuxed... I wonder how the other bots will react and how Optimus would be and the humans? 😭 I love your writing and thank you! Bonus if it's hinted throughout that she was taken when Sideswipe tried flirting with her but it didn't stick.
That’s so creative! I think I know how to make this spicy ;)
BTF x TFP reader who’s Optimus’s lover and ends up in Bayverse
2nd person
female reader
malfunctions, drama, crossovers
romance, flirting, realization, last goodbyes
abbreviations: BTF = Bayverse Transformers; TFP = Transformers Prime
takes place in Transformers Prime AU where everyone lives and is protecting Earth
takes place in Transformers: Dark of the Moon AU where Ironhide and Jazz are alive
added characters: Simmons, Galloway and Mearing
“Stay safe.” Optimus said to you while holding you in his servos. He softly smiled as he brought you closer to his face.
“Don’t worry boss, I will!” you joked as you gave him a hug. You gave his face plate soft kiss, right under his optic, making his spark lit up.
A low hum escaped his chest as he gently stroked your head.
“Are you two done?” Ratchet say enviously, holding the ground bridge ready.
Optimus gently placed you on the ground. You rolled your eyes at Ratchet and chuckled as you walked to the ground bridge
“Someone’s jealous-“ Bulkhead said.
“I AM NOT- would you stop with that?!” Ratchet shouted, making everyone have a good laugh. Optimus didn’t budge though, he was looking at you, your beautiful smile and beautiful figure.
“See ya guys!” you said before you gave Optimus a special little wave before stepping into the portal. Optimus gave a cute little wave back as a tiny smile couldn’t leave his face. So wholesome!
You went farther inside, ready to go home, to Washington DC. Ratchet had everything ready and didn’t think anything could go wrong, no one thought. But oh… they had no idea…
Suddenly the ground bridge started making weird high frequency pulsing noises that were getting louder and faster. A sudden force, like stronger gravity, pushed you down onto your knees. You were groaning, holding your ears shut.
“RATCHET!!!” you exclaimed, trying to get up but the force was getting stronger as well as the noises.
Mass panic took over the base. They could hear you yelling.
“Ratchet, bring her back!” Optimus yelled. It’s odd to hear him yell like that which means he was extremely scared…
“I am trying, Optimus!” the medic panicked while desperately trying to fix whatever happened with the portal.
“Hurry up!!!” Miko yelled. She was scared she was gonna lose her bestie… “Guys! It’s changing colors!!!”
The ground bridge was now blue. Ratchet has never dealt with something like this. They kept hearing you begging for help. Then suddenly…
The portal aggressively closed, almost like an explosion, making the whole base shake. Everything went quiet. Ratchet tried turning it on again but it wouldn’t budge.
“Oh no…” the medic said. He frantically tried tracking you, looking all over the globe but… no signs…
Sorrow and fear were all over Prime’s face. He felt his spark ache.
“Wh-wh-what do you mean “oh no”???” Jake panicked.
“I-I don’t think she’s coming back…” Rafael said.
Bumblebee buzzed in fear, Arcee was asking questions as well as Bulkhead.
“She’s not in this dimension anymore…” Ratchet barely mouthed those words, trying to think of how to bring you back but… that’s gonna be a very difficult and long process…
“There must be a way!” Optimus said.
“There is..” the medic continued, “but Optimus.. this has never happened before… It might take days.. weeks.. months..”
“MONTHS???” Miko shouted.
“I-I just need to concentrate, alright!? I can fix this! I can fix this…” Ratchet tried to settle down and not lose hope.
Optimus was at loss of words… His lover, his sparkling… Gone. No one knows where, no one knows how. Everyone was flabbergasted, trying to think of any possible answer how this could happen…
“One way or another… we shall bring her back…” Optimus said. He lost everything already… he can’t lose you as well…
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
<> Washington DC, Bayverse <>
You found yourself in an alley in the center of DC. Getting up with a headache, you tried your best to scan your surroundings. You went forward to the main street, looking around.
“Looks like DC alright” you thought as you made your way to the right, heading home while thinking what the hell happened to the ground bridge.
Suddenly you heard a rumbling engine approaching, revving as the car slowed down, driving next to you at your speed. You looked to your left to see a metallic Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. Stunning. You chuckled to yourself and rolled your eyes, continuing to walk as you ignored whoever was in the car, thinking it’s just a guy trying to win you with his expensive car. IF there was anyone in the car…
You heard a seductive whistle, “Ey what’s up sweetheart~? Care for a ride~?” as the door opened.
“No, thanks.” you said, not even looking at the car.
“Oh come on cutie, it’s rude to reject a car like me~”
A car… like “me”? You heard that one before, Smokescreen has the same way of picking up girls. That made you look. You saw there’s no one at the driver’s seat. You stopped in your tracks… Putting 2 and 2 together…
“Sideswipe at your service, m’lady~”
All of the autobots should know you and you should know them hence they know Optimus. You realized the ground bridge’s malfunction meant yeeting you to a whole another dimension… In your case, some kind of a parallel universe. You decided to keep yourself together and act cool. You needed to investigate all this. And this certainly isn’t the time to tell a random autobot who are you and what is actually happening.
You took a deep breath and smiled, “Alright though guy~” you said as you got in. He closed the door for you and drove off.
“M-m-m~ Wait till you meet my crew~ They’re gonna be sooo jealous~ What’s your name beautiful~?”
“Hey, I’m not here for you to show off.”
“Well then, I’m here for YOU to show off~” he chuckled, his beauty breaking people’s neck.
He made you hide a giggle, “I’m Y/N. And what about that.. crew you mentioned?” carefully choosing your words, trying to meet your surroundings.
“You haven’t heard about my crew? We saved your planet more than once! And we’re still protecting it.”
“O-oh yeah! Yeah I know, of course, pft! Our heroes. But uhm.. what are the names of your teammates, I was never really able to memorize all.” act cool, act cool.
“Ah well there’s Ironhide, weapon specialist, he’s a stubborn fella. Then there’s Ratchet, the medic,”
“Ratchet…” you thought.
“Jazz, Dino, Bumblebee- you probably heard of Bumblebee, that sucker got real famous.” your heart skipped a beat when you heard “Bumblebee”…
“And, of course, our leader, Optimus Prime~” he said that with pride.
This confirmed your theory that you’re in an alternative universe… You acted cool and chill, excited to meet them all. Deep down you were hella nervous… Some hope bloomed inside of you, considering there’s at least 3 autobots you already know.
…
The moment Sideswipe drove you into the base, you couldn’t stop looking around. So many cars and… people…
“So they managed to take advantage of them here huh… What a disgusting species we are…”
“I brought company!” Sideswipe transformed and said happily.
“Sideswipe, how many times do we need to tell you to stop bringing females into the base!?” Ratchet shouted, in his bot form, working on something with humans.
“Oh come oh man, look at her! How can you say no to such a cute faaace~?” he was gently pinching your cheek.
“Ow- ow ow ow! Sideswipe!” you laughed, trying to push his servo away.
“This is not a party garage, this is a base! Take your urges elsewhere.” Ratchet scolded Sideswipe.
A giant truck with Optimus’s colors caught your eye real good… Suddenly, he transformed, approaching you and Sideswipe as the ground shook a little with each step he took. He was ready to shoo both of you out but then he made eye contact with you…
Your eyes locked in his optics and vice versa… He slowly stopped in his tracks as he frowned and as his optics widened… You looked extremely familiar. Too familiar… As if he was getting flashbacks of something he never even knew he experienced. He felt like he knows you. His spark warmed at the sight of you… He slowly lined up with you, putting his knee on the ground.
“Do I know you, girl?” he asked.
“I.. uh..” you could barely speak, you felt waves of adrenaline strike your body, “Perhaps, sir… M-maybe I just remind you of someone.” you awkwardly chuckled.
He hummed and straightened. Confused and suspicious, he walked to the platform where Galloway and Mearing were working with Ratchet.
“Let her stay. She has valuable information.” he lied. For the first time in his life he lied… There’s something special about you he needs to confirm…
…
It’s been weeks. Months. You got closer with everyone, Sam even. You were an important member of the crew now. Everyone was surprised by your Cybertronian tech knowledge that Ratchet passed onto you back in the base in Jasper…
Optimus and you got extremely close as well. You treated him with kindness. Not just any kindness. You didn’t only have high respect for him as a leader, you were ready to lie down your life for him and vice versa… It seemed as if he became your guardian in this universe too…
He let you climb his shoulder, have relaxing rides with him, stay up late, watch the sky and discuss about endless subjects… He wouldn’t take his optics off of you. Scanning your beautiful face whenever he had a chance, trying to find you in his memory but his recognition system was not responding positively…
…
One day…
“I need a group meeting, ASAP!” Mearing commanded, walking into the base furiously as her assistant, Galloway and Simmons were barely catching up to her.
“A-are you sure, ma’am?” Galloway said.
“Yes, I am sure! And don’t call me “ma’am”. I am not a “ma’am” “ she said while going through all of her purses.
“I knew there’s something odd about her- I just knew it! Optimus told us he feels as if he knows her- and now the big guy is in love!” Simmons said like the alien nerd he is.
“Please, do not say that, it’s disgusting.” Mearing said while going up the platform.
“How would they have intercourse anyway- it’s impossible!” Simmons continued.
“Shut up, agent.” Mearing said before quickly organizing a meeting.
…
And there you were, sitting along with everyone while all the autobots stood there.
“WHO ARE YOU AND HOW DID YOU GET HERE-“ Simmons started.
“Agent. Let’s stay calm.” Galloway said.
Simmons sat down, rubbing his face, biting his nails and bouncing his leg.
You looked at Optimus. “You told them..?”
“Y/N, please understand that I had to. There’s something strangely odd going on. I feel like my system had deleted you from my memory… but I can still feel like I know you.”
“We’ve checked your ID, tried tracking you, your home, family… We couldn’t find anything. You’re not in the system.” Mearing said. “So where do you come from? Are you even human? Who sent you?”
All of this was getting you extremely nervous. You sat there, occupied with questions and so many glares…
“Okay…” you took a deep breath, “okay. I will explain. No one sent me, let’s start with that. It was all an accident… Apparently I come from a parallel universe where the Cybertronian war was also brought. And no I’m not talking about another planet, I’m talking about Earth- like a- a mirror! But with some minor changes. There’s an autobot base in Jasper, Nevada where I’m with my three other human friends and the crew… There’s Bumblebee and Ratchet and Arcee and Bulkhead a-and… You, Optimus…”
The whole base was silent… They couldn’t believe what they were hearing… Optimus walked closed to you, listening carefully.
“I moved to Washington DC recently and we’re using something called a ground bridge to teleport where we need to. When I wanted to go back home, the portal started malfunctioning and… here I am, I guess…”
“WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL US BEFORE-“ Simmons again.
“Agent, let her finish.” Optimus said calmly.
“Because I… I don’t know! Okay!? I was scared! I was hoping they would get it fixed in a few days so I could just leave with a status of Sideswipe’s ex girlfriend or something but…” you exhaled in frustration, “It’s been months… Who knows if they’re gonna get it fixed at all… That’s why I wanted to analyze everything you have here and see if I can ask for ANY help…”
Mearing and Galloway were aggravated while Simmons was like “I TOLD YOU SO!!!”. Ratchet was trying to calculate everything in his head while everyone else was just speechless.
“That’s why I was feeling this way since we met…” Optimus said.
“Yes… and probably because.. we have something special going on where I come from…” you said with a tiny smile.
A deep hum rumbled in his chest, “Special…” he also smiled a little.
“Aw man, there goes my girlfriend!” Sideswipe said. He made Dino and Bumblebee laugh.
“You’ll find a chick.” Ironhide nudged him, “There’s plenty of fish in the sea.”
“How do we get you back?” Ratchet asked.
“The only thing I can think of is that we somehow make contact with them. I have the coordinates but we will definitely need more than just that…”
“Hm… yes.. yes. I think we can-“ Ratchet got interrupted
“Or maybe she can stay.” by Jazz who now got all of the eyes on him in silence, “…Just- just a suggestion-“
“As much as I would love for Y/N to stay with us, we need to think about her safety. We must get her home.” Optimus started, “She is not safe with us. As similar as her life might be here, she belongs in the universe she came from.”
“Agreed! Agreed.” Galloway interrupted, “If we manage to make this portal, it would mean a huge step for humanity!! Do you realize how much we could do with it!? We could-“
“With all due respect,” Optimus interrupted him back, “this is not the time to speak about the advantages humans can take from this.” irritated by him.
Ratchet and some other autobots were already working on the ground bridge.
“Y/N.” Optimus leaned closer to you, “It is very difficult for me to say goodbye…”
“I know… It was nice while it lasted…”
“I hope I treat you the same way in every universe our paths cross… I hope you will keep warming up my spark back home.” Optimus said softly, quietly talking to you.
“I will… I promise…” you got emotional, stepping closer, hugging his face plate… Your heart aching, you were torn apart between two universes… But you knew none of this is right. You need to get back.
You made him smile, his optics spinning and expanding before closing as he sunk into your tender touch…
“I will forever remember you, Y/N… Now it is time for you to go home, my love…”
Well this ended up being longer than I thought lmao and way more emotional
Dividers belong to @patches-1105 ❣️

Vincent had a long days work ahead, files and documents covered his desk from top to bottom. However, he had just called you to his office, what could he need from a maid?
MINORS DNI/AGELESS BLOGS DNI/ANTI DC DNI/18+
Kinktober 2023 Masterlist
Warnings: Slight manipulation, choking, affairs, blowjob, cursing, teasing, crying, lust, one night stand? fem reader
1.7k words
This is so rushed i’m sorry Black Butler fans!!!
“Are you just going to stand there? I called you down here for a reason, now come�� he demanded, not even lifting his eyes off of the stack of documents on his desk. “Oh, sorry, yes master” you shuddered, jumping out of your trance and making your way over to his side, not forgetting to bow, “Why are you acting so shy and modest all of a sudden, this wasn’t the side you showed me the other night now was it”.
Your master, Earl Vincent Phantomhive had thrown the party of all parties a couple days before for all the elites, one thing may have led to another which ended in you sleeping with him. It was not what you had intended to do, you were his maid afterall, if anyone was to find out it would be a disaster. Why would he bring it up now? Especially considering after it happened he had said to keep it between you both.
“W~What are you talking abo~ ah” you shrieked ever so slightly as you felt a hand between your thighs, riding up your dress, “stop being so loud she’ll hear you, but back to why I called you here, will you be ever so kind as to help your master relieve some of this stress” Vincent asked as nonchalantly as could be, again eyes never leaving the papers.
“How would you like me to do that? I could get Tanaka to maybe make you some tea, let me go get hi~” “you know that's not what I want” he looked up at you, pushing his chair out from under his desk to grip onto your dress as you attempted to walk away. “But I’m just a maid”, “a maid who’s almost begging for me to touch them? How foolish do you think I am exactly?” he laughed, your eyes widening as his eyes turnt to you for the first time today.
“Ever since that night I’ve noticed you avoiding me, claiming to be unwell and taking days off yet you seemed perfectly fine to me when you were getting off to me in your quarters. Or did you think I wouldn’t know?” he crooked his head, wondering how you would dare to respond to those accusations. As you attempted to think of a lie he cut you off, “even now your dress has less petticoats, I can practically see your entire body, this was what you wanted no?”.
You couldn’t even deny it, this was a fantasy you had had for a while but you hadn’t expected it to play out like this. Not with him in control of the situation anyway, but you were not going to let it slip away that easily.
“A lady mustn't reveal all her secrets, my lord” you smiled, taking a step between the desk and chair before moving to your knees under it. “That's what I wanted to see” he smirked, freeing his cock from his trousers. A small gasp leaving your lips as he took it out, the night you spent together was nothing but a blur so you hadn’t remembered him being as big as he was.
As you took his piece in your hands you were met with a slight groan from him, letting you know how pent up he was, which was perfect for you of course. You gently moved it towards you, molding it in your palm as it grew with each movement.
“Show me what you’ve been so desperate to do.” Vincent grinned peering at you under the desk, “yes, my lord” you nodded, placing your fingers on the cusp of his cock, pressing tightly as you stuck your tongue out letting a drop of your saliva cover his tip. “But why must we rush, you like to tease do you not?” you jested, watching his thighs tense up.
Whilst you kneaded his aching piece in your fingertips he huffed, unsure of how you would steer the situation, “only one of us is in the position to do the teasing, you are still just a common whore that so happens to be my wife's maid”. Your body responded for you, tightening as he chuckled “Oh, does that turn you on?” he smirked.
Without another word you skimmed your tongue along his girthy shaft before parting your lips attempting to take his entire length in your mouth, your warm breath adding to the lingering burn in his stomach, “A~Atta girl, you got it”.
You bobbed your head up and down taking as much as you could, your saliva mixing with his precum engulfing his cock in a wet heat. “Fuuuck, full of surpr~rises are we”, he asked as his hand slid to your hollowed cheek, caressing it before bringing it to the back of your head, a slight pressure being added. His body turnt back to simultaneously finish his work on the desk whilst his fingers curled around your tied up hair.
You hadn’t expected the Earl to be so forward with you, not when you knew his wife could be almost anywhere in the manor, either way it was turning you on little by little. Your heated cheeks along with the large ache between your thighs almost taking over your body as you squeezed them together, allowing yourself that bit of pleasure.
Vincent's groans became sloppy and incoherent as your tongue slid across the slit in his piece before taking it back in, humming to allow it to slip back down your throat, the vibrations adding to the overwhelming closeness he was feeling. You slid a hand between the folds of your skirt, “f~fuck” you cried out against his cock as you ran your fingers across your sopping underwear, the friction from the fabric against your swollen clit sending you into a spiral. If only you could see the sloppy handwriting you were causing the Earl to have.
As the scene was at its peak you heard the door creek open, both of you freezing almost instantly, “Goodmorning my love, have you seen that girl anywhere?”. Although you could only hear the woman, you knew exactly who it was, Vincent gave you the fiercest of expressions before lifting his head to his wife, “Who are you referring to my dear?” he asked, acting oblivious.
“That maid you hired for me, I remember her saying she felt a bit under the weather so I wanted to see if she would like to take a stroll with me down to the river, the fresh air could do her some good I think” Rachel beamed, completely unaware of the scene just on the other side of the desk. Your body ran cold as she spoke, Rachel was the sweetest and most patient of women and always treated you almost like an equal yet here you were, sucking off her husband.
“Oh is that r~right”, “darling, are you alright?” “YES, yes I’m fine, don’t step any closer” he commanded, his body folding over the papers on his desk at your actions. The guilt of the situation had weirdly given you a boost, it was almost as if you liked this. In the middle of the conversation you had run your hand down his cock, toying with his balls.
“I think she’s c~closer than you t~think” he hissed, pushing your head further into him as you choked out, his crown hitting the back of your throat constantly as tears ran down your face. “Oh, okay dear thank you, I will speak to you once you’ve finished up those papers” she curtsied, pulling up the door to continue her search.
His eyes widened as he lent back in his chair, before he could even say another word you felt him shudder, and as if on cue he released, you could feel it cascade down your throat coating it completely, his breath hitching as you continued to deepthroat him, holding whatever remained in your mouth. “W~Well I didn’t e~expect this”, you could hear his subtle whines as the overstim started to consume him, the delirium swirling inside him as the suction intensified.
“G~od you’re fucking amazing, now cmon and show me the mess you’ve made”, his voice bellowed, watching you slow down, using your tongue to take in the elixir of cum and saliva encasing his cock cleaning him up. You could almost feel his member throbbing as Vincent used your hair to pull you off his cock. You gazed at him alluringly, tear stained cheeks on display as the trail of liquids from his shaft and the sides of your lips broke, allowing you to show him your tongue.
“Perfect, now swallow” he ordered, pulling you up from the ground to your feet, his piece still on display as you took it all down. “You have no shame do you, tears down your cheeks yet you didn’t seem to slow down as my wife spoke. She would be so disappointed in you right now” he sighed sarcastically, using his thumb to wipe the corners of your lips, your pathetic face almost laughable.
“Well? Why are you still in my presence, your ladyship is looking for you is she not?” The stern Earl scoffed, your body not even sure of how to react. “Oh, um, yes, my lord” you stuttered, slowly edging towards the side of the desk, his blank stare burnt into your mind as you turnt to face the door. Had this all meant nothing?
As you went to push off the desk you felt a presence, “How amusing” he cooed in your ear as you stomach hit the desks face, his body hovering above your back. “Taking our time are we? Well, what should I do with you now” he growled, a hand inching your skirt up as he nibbled your neck. His bare cock pressed up against your lower half, you needed him badly.
Watching your pitiful attempt at leaving was almost comical to the Earl, but he had never intended for you to leave so soon, not when he knew you were a whore with no morals. He was more than ready to make use of his wifes little expedition, your body was his for the taking and you were more than eager to give it to him. He would not stop until all his stress was gone.

Somersweet
Fandom: DC/Young Justice
Ship: Birdflash <333
Summary: A glimpse into Wally and Dick's teenage years; the first time Wally realizes why, even as a billionaire, Bruce refuses to give his son candy. Day sixteen of Miya and Mia’s Tickletober: sweets!
Wally has never really used his height against Dick. He’s always been taller, but he is also older, and speed was always more of his thing anyways. He was fine with Dick flipping through the air, cartwheeling down the halls of the Young Justice headquarters.
When Dick had suggested they go to Wayne Manor and steal some of the Halloween candy that Bruce had started stockpiling for the trick-or-treaters, Wally thought it was a great idea. Free candy and he gets to chill in a mansion? It was a done deal for him.
It was all fun and games when he thought he and Dick would just steal some candy and watch a movie, before he realized that Dick rarely, if ever, eats candy. It seems like the Dark Knight goes all out for Halloween, but rarely lets his own kid have any sweets. Wally can see why.
Dick is practically bouncing off the walls, running around in circles in the screening room, begging Wally to let him put his costume on so he can fight crime, saying he feels it’s time to “break bones and take names.”
Wally, despite really wanting to see what happens, tells Dick no, he is absolutely not leaving the room in the state he’s in. Dick pouts, and he does puppy dog eyes, and he begs, but Wally stands his ground. He finds it incredibly difficult, of course, he’s had a crush on his best friend for like three entire years, but his worry for Dick’s safety outweighs the cuteness of his puppy dog eyes.
Dick instead takes to jumping across the room’s chairs and couches, doing somersaults and cartwheels, doing triple backflips and handsprings. Wally, with his ability to practically watch seconds tick by in front of him, is having difficulty keeping up with how quick Dick is moving around the room.
“Walls, I am totally whelmed right now,” Dick says in the middle of a front flip off the couch, “like, absolutely, completely whelmed.”
Wally laughs, speeding over to stand next to Dick, “even if that were a word, I don’t think that's how you’d use it.”
“No, no,” Dick says, shaking his head while running towards another couch, “it totally would be. I made it up so I get to choose how it’s used.
“That’s totally not how language works, dude,” Wally says before finally deciding it might be time to reel Dick in. His flips and tricks are cool, but Wally is seriously worried that the sugar rush is going to cause him to trip over himself, which would be bad news for both of them.
Wally runs and grabs a blanket, wrapping it around Dick and bringing him over to one of the couches, all within the blink of an eye. Dick attempts to wrestle out of the blanket, but Wally continues to tangle him up in it. Eventually Dick manages to get completely covered, his body disappearing under the Superman themed throw blanket.
“Wally, let me out!” Dick laughs, muffled by the fabric.
“No can do, bird brain, not until you’ve got a little less pep in your step.”
Dick continues to struggle, arms flailing and poking out as he tries to reach for Wally to push him away. Wally, of course, has the benefit of sight, and decides to start grabbing Dick back. The two of them engage in this awkward, partially blind wrestling match for a minute or two before Wally grabs Dick and Dick recoils with a squawk, squirming under the blanket.
Wally does it again, and this time it produces a giggle, Dick’s hands coming up to produce a barrier, though he still can’t see Wally’s next move.
Wally makes a grab for Dick and manages to wrangle him into a hug, the human burrito now trapped in his arms, and he makes quick work of skittering his fingers wherever he can reach, getting a wheeze and high-pitched giggles from his best friend.
“Wahahally nohoho!” Dick squeals, unable to struggle due to both the blanket and Wally’s arms trapping him.
“Aww, does that tickle?” Wally asks when he starts rubbing his head into the crevice of Dick’s neck and shoulder, “Is someone’s neck ticklish? What about your ribs? Does this tickle?”
Dick shrieks, going limp against Wally and trying to figure out any possible way of escape. He hears when Wally decides to count his ribs, and he desperately tries to get out of the redhead’s grasp.
“Dickie, you gotta hold still,” Wally teases, “counting them from under the blanket is hard enough, if I lose count I’ll have to start over!”
Of course, Wally loses count about five times, each time starting a new round of tickling on Dick’s upper ribs, which gets him crying out through hysterics.
“Aww, where does it tickle?” Wally asks when he’s ‘forced’ to restart again, “Does it tickle here?”
He goes back in to get Dick’s top rib, and Dick shrieks, begging for Wally to stop, promising that he’ll finally calm down.
When Wally feels as though Dick has been positively tickled silly, he finally stops, releasing his grasp on Dick, allowing him to fully reveal himself from under the blanket.
Dick comes out with his hair a mess, curls falling in his eyes. His face is red and he has a huge smile plastered on his face, tears trickling from the corner of his eyes. He looks happy, and Wally thinks that he wants this to be the last thing he ever sees, Dick smiling at him, joy written across his face.
Dick pants, throwing a fake glare Wally’s way, “you’re-”
Dick is interrupted when Wally leans in for a kiss, soft and timid, and it takes him a second before he even realizes, before he’s kissing back.
When they pull away they’re both smiling, sharing identical, smitten looks. The fondness in Wally’s eyes, Dick realizes now, had always been there, he had just never taken notice.
“Dude, I’m-”
“You’re whelmed, aren’t you?” Dick asks with a little smirk on his face.
Wally just rolls his eyes, going in for another kiss.

[“When house hunting a few days earlier, two landlords had turned her away on account of her kids. One had said, “We’re pretty strict here. We don’t allow no loud nothing.” The other had told Pam it was against the law for him to put so many children in a two-bedroom apartment, which was the most Pam and Ned could afford. When talking to landlords, Pam had begun subtracting children from her family. She was beginning to wonder what was most responsible for keeping them homeless: her drug conviction from several years back, the fact that Ned was on the run and had no proof of income, their eviction record, their poverty, or their children.
Children caused landlords headache. Fearing street violence, many parents in crime-ridden neighborhoods kept their children locked inside. Children cooped up in small apartments used the curtains for superhero capes; flushed toys down the toilet; and drove up the water bill. They could test positive for lead poisoning, which could bring a pricey abatement order. They could come under the supervision of Child Protective Services, whose caseworkers inspected families’ apartments for unsanitary or dangerous code violations. Teenagers could attract the attention of the police.
It was an old tradition: landlords barring children from their properties. In the competitive postwar housing market of the late 1940s, landlords regularly turned away families with children and evicted tenants who got pregnant. This was evident in letters mothers wrote when applying for public housing. “At present,” one wrote, “I am living in an unheated attic room with a one-year-old baby….Everywhere I go the landlords don’t want children. I also have a ten-year-old boy….I can’t keep him with me because the landlady objects to children. Is there any way that you can help me to get an unfurnished room, apartment, or even an old barn?…I can’t go on living like this because I am on the verge of doing something desperate.” Another mother wrote, “My children are now sick and losing weight….I have tried, begged, and pleaded for a place but [it’s] always ‘too late’ or ‘sorry, no children.’ ” Another wrote, “The lady where I am rooming put two of my children out about three weeks ago and don’t want me to let them come back….If I could get a garage I would take it.”
When Congress passed the Fair Housing Act in 1968, it did not consider families with children a protected class, allowing landlords to continue openly turning them away or evicting them. Some placed costly restrictions on large families, charging “children-damage deposits” in addition to standard rental fees. One Washington, DC, development required tenants with no children to put down a $150 security deposit but charged families with children a $450 deposit plus a monthly surcharge of $50 per child.5 In 1980, HUD commissioned a nationwide study to assess the magnitude of the problem and found that only 1 in 4 rental units was available to families without restrictions. Eight years later, Congress finally outlawed housing discrimination against children and families, but as Pam found out, the practice remained widespread. Families with children were turned away in as many as 7 in 10 housing searches.”]

welcome to my comics blog! :]
HI! i am kelso, this is my comics blog. i mostly read post-crisis bat comics, but i’ve been branching out to some marvel (black widow, s-man 2099, and captain america specifically) & GA stuff.
my top 3 bat characters are babs gordon, tim drake, and jean-paul valley. i read post-flashpoint stuff almost entirely for duke thomas. when i’m not being bat-obsessed, i mainly like mia dearden, cassie sandsmark, and bart allen. i’m never going to stop begging DC to bring back sebastian ives.
general housekeeping for my blog... my main is @strangesickness where i blog about movies, but honestly i'm more active here. i write fan-fiction. if you want to send me a prompt feel free. i can't promise i'll answer it but i'll try to give it a go :]
old fandom rules apply to this blog. sals. ykinmkato, ship tomato, dl;dr, etc. i’m never going to bash anyone for their ships, even if it isn’t my thing. tumblr lets you exclude tags for a reason. speaking of shipping, i multiship and will give basically anything a go, but if i had to list a few favs: jeantim, dicktim, jaytim, pamlina, timkoncassie, jaytalia, brujim, and dukedick would probably be them.

Keep Telling Them
Warning: this article may include some triggering images and heartbreaking truths so please be aware.
We are in a constant battle between light and dark. John 1:5 says, “The light shines in the darkness, the darkness has not overcome it.” But some days it feels like it comes awfully close. Yesterday, two young children were shot getting off a Metrobus. Last week a 6-year-old shot his teacher. And the first person killed in the DC area for 2023 was a 13-year-old boy. There are new signs in the District that say “Thou Shall Not Kill.” I am sure you have seen stories like this or seen the families that were changed forever by these moments. If you do not have a story of loss in your community that changed everything and you will never forget, you will. As radio people, we are called to speak God’s Word directly into the hearts of those fighting darkness right alongside us. I was reminded of the darkness I will never forget in the world about 4:30 am one morning.
My phone started buzzing a strange signal I did not recognize and, as you probably have experienced, anyone trying to reach me at that time needs to talk to me. I jumped up and grabbed my phone; flipping it over, I saw the notification for an Amber Alert. For most everyone, seeing that on your screen might be a reason to put your phone down and go back to bed. But for me, it was this heavy reminder that a little girl went missing years ago named Amber..
My husband and I were working in Dallas/Fort Worth radio when Amber Hagerman went missing. Most of us that receive an Amber Alert don’t know that it was named after a precious little girl. Her smiling face started scrolling across television screens when she was snatched while riding her bicycle with her brother. We covered it on air (we were in Country radio), and we prayed off air. My nieces were about her age when all of this was happening and I remembering begging God to bring Amber home and keep my nieces safe.
Groups of people searched, churches held vigils and we reported each day until a sock was found in a ravine. That lead to finding Amber and the mourning began. And the decisions to do more to help find children who went missing. his type of darkness in our lives brings people closer, looking for answers. I will never forget the collective sadness we all felt.
That night, I laid back down with a heavy heart. Then God reminded me of my only part in fighting that level of evil: keep showing up and telling them about Jesus. It can feel like too much sometimes and our human brains will try to go into “fix” mode but all we must do is turn on the mike and keep telling them about Jesus. We may have heard stories of radio people who could not show up after a disaster, who left their listeners and their coworkers without the voice they had come to know and love. We have grace for them and hope they are now where they feel God would have them.
For the Called, God will equip us to stand strong and minister when evil appears to win. It’s right in Genesis 50:20, “As far as I am concerned, God turned into good what you meant for evil, for he brought me to this high position I have today so that I could save the lives of many people.” Next time your phone buzzes or rings and you find yourself on the end of terrible news, you can reaffirm for yourself that you are doing what God has called you to do. Because you keep showing up and telling them about Jesus.

Jason's first eight kids, in order of when he obtained them, as posited by me
Nadiah, found at two years old. Vaguely middle-eastern looking, but her records are woefully incomplete so it's anyone's guess. He found her in an apartment curled up next to a corpse for warmth, and once he picked her up she refused to let go of him for the next twelve hours. She's a bit hyperactive and scatter-brained, and enjoys coloring on everything (Jason had to invest in a tiny whiteboard so she'd stop scribbling on his walls).
Two months later he picked up Darius at age six. He's of Romanian descent, with ink-black hair and dark brown eyes. The boy was taken into foster care after his mother killed his father in front of him, and ran away from his foster home due to untreated PTSD from said event. He's skittish and flight-prone, and wouldn't let anyone other than Jason or Nadiah come near him for the first three weeks of living with him.
Six months later he's all but gifted one of his goon's kids as a newborn, a small girl named Katina. The girl's bio mother knows she isn't cut out to be a parent and trusts her boss with the kid's safety and wellbeing. Katina is an extremely well-behaved baby who's more than happy to spend time with her family, and so long as she has something soft and fuzzy to cuddle she's okay with anything.
A year after that come a set of twin boys, Darshan and Karan, age four. They're of west indian descent, and their mother died in childbirth- they were being raised by an auntie, but she was an accidental casualty of an attack by Black Mask's forces. Darshan is the more adventurous one of the two, always leading his brother into ridiculous situations, while Karan is the one who manages to get them out of danger before anyone realizes what's going on.
Four months after the twins, and two months after Jason's moved to a bigger house to accommodate his growing family, Xinyi shows up on his doorstep demanding to be adopted. She's nine years old and was adopted by one of those vlog families, but when they kept filming her in invasive or humiliating ways for views she fought back, leading to them wanting to "return" her. Jason takes her in, and on a completely unrelated note Gotham ends up passing stricter laws on monetizing children like that, with Bruce lobbying the hardest.
Two months after Xinyi, Darius brings home a boy named Alon, age seven, and asks for him to be adopted. Alon was raised mostly by his mother who had recently passed from lung cancer, and he's a shy, quiet boy who prefers to solve puzzles rather than interact with people.
And four months after Alon, a scared and desperate thirteen-year-old girl named Emma comes barreling into Red Hood's life, begging for his protection. She was disowned by her parents for being trans and knew that Red Hood didn't hurt kids, plus she had a mean talent for throwing knives and a willingness to fight dirty, so she's figuring that even if he doesn't want to take her in she can at least work for him. It takes all of fifteen minutes before all the other children have accepted Emma as one of them, at which point Jason throws up his hands and decides to invest in a bus.
I love this. Please consider making this an entire fic. Because this is the best and as someone said recently, I am all for seeing DC characters be very parent shaped

my proposal for tropes we as a fandom should adopt in all fanworks going forward: Duke Thomas edition
So every fandom has tropes and characterization quirks that have been generally accepted into fanon and, like, maybe? they were originally based on some obscure comic panel from the 80s or something but it doesn’t really matter because we’re all just,,, cool with it? Like for example- in the dc comics fandom, an art piece could show 3 of the bats that look virtually identical except one of them is holding a box of cereal so that one is obviously Dick Grayson. . . Y’know?
Anyway, these things usually come up naturally I guess but I’ve been here a while and it’s finally time to put my foot down. It’s high time for Duke Thomas to be more in fanon than “the sane one.” Because he might be the relatively new guy but he is certainly fears no gods or laws of the land just as much as the other bats, lemme tell ya.
TL;DR here are character quirks (”canon-based” or otherwise) that we should all really latch onto seriously I’m begging y’all to make at least one of these happen-
Duke “Habitually Jumping Out of Moving Vehicles” Thomas
This one’s actually based in canon y’all; Duke did indeed yeet himself out of the back of a cop car and off of a bridge (in We Are... Robin). Normalize Duke’s wearing knee and elbow pads as Signal because jumping out of a car turns out relatively fine once and then suddenly Batman’s rooftop disappearing act seems mellow compared to the amount of times Gordon has whipped his head around to see a now Signal-less backseat.
Like, he’s going 60 mph?? And he didn’t even hear the door open?? and tHE DOORS ARE STILL LOCKED??
Imagine this leaking into civilian life and Bruce waking up to a blurry photo of Duke mid-escape from a limousine on the front page of the Gotham Gazette.
(more under cut)
Duke “Puzzles are my Passion” Thomas
Duke is ~canonically~ very skilled at both solving and concocting riddles (as a child during that time where The Riddler just,,, controlled Gotham, he worked non-stop on riddles, trying to make the perfect one). Please y’all- let Duke solve puzzles. Have the other bats ask him for help after 36 hours straight of brooding over some brainteaser that Duke works out within the half-hour. He texts a picture of the solution scribbled out on loose leaf in the margins of his pre-calc homework because this boy shows his work.
My guy is a word-cross FIEND. A mind-sweeper speed-runner. That guy who mails into the Gazette to correct a solution in the “fun & games” section and also ps that photo is not of me I am simply a polite young man who is much too busy writing into the paper in the year 2021 to jump out of limos-
I also would love to see this integrated into the type of cases he investigates / runs into on his daytime patrol. Like, obviously the criminal activity is going to dramatically differ before and after sundown, but that doesn’t make Duke’s work any easier or less important. It’s a different skillset; he has to work differently. Instead of jumping into fights, halting mob meetings, saving civilians in dark allies, etc. Duke has to sort through all of the moving pieces before they all converge into something catastrophic.
It’s a known fact that criminal organizations in Gotham make and execute a lot of behind-the-scenes plans during the day specifically not to run into the bats. And Duke knows and monitors this shit all by himself; his work is crucial to logistics and information gathering for the bats as a whole. Now criminals have like, a 2 hour gap between bat-shifts to try and get stuff done. But Duke would 100% set traps on timers or lead them on this pre-set convoluted goose chase to distract them until the night bats come out and to let himself enjoy the whole thing playing out on the news while he finishes homework that’s due at midnight.
Duke “I Know a Guy” Thomas
So in going off of the basic concept for the “We Are. . . Robin” run in combination to his general likability, Duke has a lot of friends all around Gotham. Okay, sure, he doesn’t have a Super best friend or a Speedster on speed dial, but he does know this guy who details cars up on West 35th and will tell them all about the new mods on Black Mask’s transport vans if they come through the third floor window and bring takeout.
Bruce and Tim will be waiting for the facial recognition software to identify at least a partial match off of security cam footage when Duke pulls into the cave, takes one look at the screen, and says “Oh, that’s <insert name, address, abridged life story, and known associates here>.” This also brings in the opportunity for Duke to have some sort of perfect recall for faces, voices, names, etc. which I think could be a really cool element for his position as the batfamily member who has a lot more personal interaction with the people of Gotham.
I’m also into the idea of a lot of people knowing/telling stories about Duke. Not to reference the Chuck Norris meme but almost like the Chuck Norris meme lmao. Think about Jason mentioning his brother to someone and she replies, “Duke Thomas? Like that Duke Thomas? The one who swam across the harbor because he said it’d be faster than the subway and it actually was?” These stories have varying levels of truth to them but Duke will never confirm nor deny when he gets random calls from family members yelling “you dID WHAT”
So those are my top three, and the following is a little speed-round of headcanons :)
Duke has a super expressive face. Like when he’s relaxed around family, you can tell exactly what he’s thinking and how he’s feeling by his visual reactions to things
Duke rotates through picking up new and revisiting old hobbies at a pretty rapid pace. Some hobbies include: bullet journaling, origami, viola, cello, synth, conversational basics in multiple languages, up-cycling and embroidering clothes
Duke has a really fucking adorable smile. He can’t help it. He’ll try to grin sarcastically or smug to be annoying but his smile just cannot be anything other than endearing. He also has a very specific booming laugh that’s an absolute treasure to hear, because it’s the most genuinely happy thing ever.
Duke unironically enjoys Signal by Twice even though the first time he heard it was after Steph had set it as his morning alarm.
So.
Come and get your food, I guess.
Feel free to add on if you’d like! I’d love to see anything you guys write/draw/etc. based on anything from here if you feel compelled to do so!
Stay safe and be well :)

Idk if it’s just me but I feel like no one talks about how the ableist version of Babs affects Steph and Cass to a detrimental amount...
We literally had Steph and Cass ERASED in New 52 when Babs was Batgirl. Let that sink in. Fans had to beg DC to bring those two back and DC had them gone because of their misogyny, racism and classism. Barbara is their perfect Batgirl because she is a white woman that can be reduced to a love interest.
The best version of Barbara is when she was Oracle PERIOD. She was independent, badass and good representation. When Barbara is Batgirl (Post-Oracle) she is a land mine to all other batfamily members including herself. Which is why it pains me when I see readers shit on the Batgirls comic because I fear that if the comic is not successful, there is a very real chance that DC might try to erase Steph and Cass again. Yes their characterization is fair to criticize but the team can be changed in the future with a better writer/editor who understands these two better.
However, I am 100% against abled Babs but I am suspicious to others who are hating on the Batgirls comic solely for that reason alone when abled Babs is in EVERY SINGLE bat book? You can dislike the comic for their bad characterization (and yes the ableismon DC’s part) but I don’t see the same criticism for abled Babs in other bat books (not as much anyway). It kind of makes me think that you don’t actually want to see Steph or Cass anymore, and use DC’s ableism as an excuse for their comic to fail. Bad comics come out a lot, but no one says that a comic should fail because of a current writer. For example, a lot of people are criticizing Tom Tayl*r for his Nightwing run, but no one is saying that Dick shouldn’t have a solo anymore, people are asking for a new writer and for Dick’s comic to succeed. Abled Babs is also in the comic but fans aren’t saying “let’s not support the Nightwing comic!” They are trying to make DC hold accountability and for a writer change because of Tayl*r’s own ableism (See what I mean?). it’s this weird hypocrisy and it reeks of misogyny/racism/classism. There should be a double standard, we don’t want Steph and Cass’ comic to fail. Steph and Cass DESERVE a solo and they should have the chance to keep it for their sake. (I want to clarify as well that Dick’s solo shouldn’t be canceled either, it’s obviously not his fault).
It’s a very messy situation because I don’t want to support abled Babs but I don’t want to lose Steph or Cass either. These two have dealt with DC’s bullshit just like Barbara does, and maybe even more since Steph got killed off at one point and they got erased from the timeline a few years ago (and still can if this keeps up), but we have to acknowledge that Steph and Cass get affected too when abled Babs is there. That’s all.
I want Barbara as Oracle back, and I want Steph and Cass treated with respect.
