I'm rewatching leverage out of nostalgia and some other emotion I haven't figured out yet, and I do think there's a story in "Maggie Ford Collins deals with having the most unhinged ex in her suburban book group, learns to hotwire a car, and gets her groove back, not in that particular order."

Don’t know if it’s against the rules to complete TWO egg projects. However I’m learning to become a silversmith and I’ve finished my first ring. It’s not perfect at all, but many hours of time and effort and a whole lot of learning are in it!

aaah is that labradorite? my favorite!

You can certainly pelt Killie with another egg, you've been such a good friend to him that you deserve to get him with an ostrich egg.

But in all seriousness that's a lovely ring, and you've been extremely busy this month, encouraging others, showing kindness and progressing your own creative works. Well done.

hey guys, there is only one adult ghost in the school. this means that the bus driver that drove Quinn's bus has to live with the knowledge that their bus killed 6 kids and the Marching Band Director had to live with the death of 6 students.

I’ve read some people that took this to mean that Damian is blaming his father for how Gotham turned out. If it were this scene alone, then that would be correct and would be out of character for him. However, the meaning of this scene is followed by this scene from the previous issue…

First, we need to understand the subject being talked about, which is this scene right here. Damian skipped school and his responsibilities as Robin to volunteer at the Gotham Hospital. Batman is teaching Robin he can’t drop off his responsibilities to do what he wants. Damian isn’t just dropping his Robin responsibilities, but his responsibilities at school as well. The problem comes that from Damian’s perspective, his father thinks it’s justified for him to do the same at his age for similar reasons and at a less extreme level (he’s not taking a plane to London to train). Bruce had Alfred, so it isn’t as if he had to live the life of Billy Batson. It’s pride that keeps Bruce from admitting that his son is doing exactly what he did at his age.

The second bit of context to keep in mind is Damian’s inner conflict. The reason he’s volunteering at the Hospital is because of the little girl he was mean to at the Gala that got injured. He feels guilty and places blame on himself if anyone gets hurt on his watch. This is why he’s being told to open up to his father about this. Batman understands Damian has these feelings and we see this in Detective Comics as well.

However, unlike in Detective Comics 1092, Batman isn’t aware his son is battling guilt. He never saw his son being mean to the little girl at the Gala or was there when Damian and everyone was trapped inside the Gala. Not to mention one of Batman’s flaws is that he will become so attached to a case that he’ll miss if any of his kids are hurting unless they tell him. Damian told Batman in Detective Comics 1092, but not in Batman and Robin with Momento.

Something I admire about Johnson is that while he is dialing Damian’s maturity back to when he was younger, he is tackling subjects that had been neglected or poorly executed between Rebirth and the events of Robin by Williamson. While Tom Taylor barely scratches Damian’s guilt driving him as Robin, Phillip Kennedy Johnson is willing to dive into Damian’s guilt and see where it takes him in this story. Does that mean Damian will quit being Robin and pursue being a Doctor? I’ll let Robin answer that question with this and three simple words:

Someone has to. Someone has to look out for his father, his injuries, his care, make sure someone is by his side and be willing to take the mantle and company if Bruce cannot be Batman anymore. If not Damian, who else will? He might be volunteering at the local hospitals or drawing comics, but his future is dead set on being Batman after his father because… someone has to.

AU where Jily and Blackinnon both have sons on July 31st, and the prophecy is about two brothers who will vanquish the dark lord.

Harry and his godbrother form their own Marauders group (which obviously includes Ron), and yes, Harry recognizes Ginny a lot sooner thanks to his brother. Lil Black has his heart set on another redhead, aka Harry's little sister, and he doesn't know how to come to terms with his feelings.

Headcanoning that in a modern setting, Barok would have, when he was younger, been into LARPing.

The desire to learn how to fight with a sword would have to come from SOMEWHERE. Also lil Barok would be cringe in any setting. I will not be taking criticism on this.

Favorite part of 7x05?

It's gotta be the implied scene where Christopher Diaz comes home from his mysterious "few days away" and is told by his dad that Marisol doesn't live with them anymore.

And Chris looks at Eddie with a full on teenage glare and says, "What. Do you mean. ANYMORE????"
