Bruce with fae!Dick is just: I have no idea what this kid is or what is happening, but this child is mine now :)

I like to think he never asks what Dick is, he just don't want to know for the sake of his mental health

Ngl that was my first thought too ksksks

On one hand we’ve got Bruce the world’s greatest detective but on the other hand… well, Bruce can only handle so much weirdness in one day and his new child is basically the embodiment of Weird™️ 😭😂

Dick is just happily swinging from the chandelier and having animated conversations with a bird about the weather and meanwhile Bruce is just standing off to the side like :)))) my child isn’t like other children :)))))

Everyone else: awe, yes, everybody thinks that about their own kid.

Bruce, who just saw Dick rotate his head 360° to keep track of a firefly only to then eat it and because it allegedly insulted him: yes :))))))

just thinking out loud but the Steve going to college because believe it or not he’s finally found a very specific course that catches his interest and it happens to be in Fort Wayne so he can still check in on the kids. It gets even better when Robin and Nancy decide they want to stay local too so they all pack together and get excited (and nervous) about moving.

The time comes and they leave Hawkins and suddenly it’s the first proper day of classes. The three of them are spread over the campus so Steve treks alone to his first class, the reason he chose the college in the first place: Introduction to Folklore.

He’s so ready to learn about something he’s finally interested in. Doesn’t pay attention to the usual seating conventions and social status, just wants to know where they’ll be starting, cliques and popularity contests a long gone part of his life.

The professor is in her stride, painting a picture with her stories of creatures from folklore and the origins, Steve can’t believe it but he’s genuinely excited to learn for once. The pinpoint accuracy focus on the professor is shattered when a voice erupts next to him

‘That’s great and everything but shouldn’t there have been a moth man lover sighting by now? Where is the justice for this noble creature I ask you? I know there’s monster fuckers out there professor.’

The professor slowly engages the guy in conversation but Steve is seething. Who does this guy think he is? Does he think this is a private class just for him? That Steve isn’t paying good money to be here? So pen clenched in a white knuckled hand Steve lets his bitchy temperament get the better of him ‘I thought this was a folklore class? Not a self insert romance lit course’ he clearly says it too loud because the boy next to him. The one who started all this turns to Steve and raises an eyebrow, a smug smile on his face and lets out a ‘huh interesting’ and what’s Steve supposed to do with that? And more importantly what’s Steve supposed to do with the fact that the guy is stupid hot with this long hair, tattoo combo and that the smug look on his face definitely made Steve’s heartbeat thunder in his ears? Out of rage on behalf of his fellow students, of course.

Turns out it doesn’t matter, the class is over and Steve is running out the door, determined not to get caught by those eyes again.

It starts off a Thing between them. Every week the guy, Eddie, will challenge the lecturer with some inane point that Steve refuses to accept he actually believes to the point of Steve firing back an argument at him. Eventually they are full on debates in the middle of the class that the professor has to mediate after eddie decided that standing on the table would be appropriate (of course, not to be outdone, steve followed).

They absolutely do not have a thing for each other and the rest of the class absolutely do have a sweepstakes on when they’ll get together

what i think marauders characters would think about taylor swift

(part 2 - includes the emeralds/slytherin skittles + emmeline vance, emma vanity, & amelia bones)

the emeralds:

regulus - he'd love taylor swift!! regulus' favourite albums would be ttpd, midnights & red tv. i don't make the rules (yes i do) 🤷‍♀️ his favourite songs from each album would be 'loml,' 'question...?' and 'treacherous' (which he'd never admit, but it's true)

barty - i can see barty saying he hates taylor just to piss of reg, but if 'king of my heart' came on, he'd vibe and def wouldn't turn it off (he associates it with evan 👀) (wanna unpack why that is, barty?)

evan - loves her. period. his fav album is reputation and his favourite songs are 'gorgeous,' 'don't blame me' & 'delicate' !! (he associates them with barty 😙😙)

pandora - her number one song on spotify wrapped EVERY YEAR, without fail, is 'i hate it here' by taylor. second top song is 'never grow up (taylor's version)'. she's a speak now tv girl!!

dorcas - also pretends to hate taylor, but 'the man' by taylor is on almost all of her "favourite song" playlists so 😋😋 she's a lover girl at heart, but she tells pandora (she's the only one who knows she likes taylor) that her favourite is evermore

the others <3 (what is their group name?):

emmeline vance - genuinely doesn't listen to taylor swift much, but would never hate on her or say anything against her. she just doesn't know much of her music or much about her, so she doesn't judge 🤷‍♀️ will listen to fearless tv with mary if asked though!!

emma vanity - she's a huge swiftie and she's LOUD about it. everyone knows she loves taylor; her favourite album is lover & fav song is 'cruel summer' (emma liked it before it blew up, and she makes sure to add that whenever she tells someone)!! emma is alsooo a huge red tv girl, but more the lover girl side of red, yk?? like she LOVES 'begin again,' 'run,' as well as 'forever winter'

amelia bones - her and emma bond at first bc of their love for taylor and just music in general !! amelia doesn't seem like it, but she's an evermore and, strangely enough, debut type of person. her favourite all-time taylor song is 'a place in this world' !! a close second for her is 'dorothea'

the month of august is an anomaly. in the mornings i am pondering the meaning of life and twirling my hair around my index finger and in the evenings i am chopping off my thumb trying to cook pasta while wondering if someone will ever love me as much as i loved you.

Sugar Plums

If you live in a Western country like myself, you've likely heard the story or Poem 'The Night Before Christmas' It's a Christmas tale, written during Victoria England in 1823 By Clement Clarke Moore in the Troy Sentinel. It established a lot of things into long standing Christmas tradition. The hanging of stockings, a flying sleigh pulled by reindeer and their names, Santa (Still being called St. Nicholas) is descried as fat, jolly, with a white beard who comes in through the chimney. It's all pretty consistent with what we picture a snapshot of Christmas to be.

So what the hell are sugar plums? "The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;"

When I heard this as a kid, I pictured it as some kind of candy or desert that was light an airy. After all, there's a ballet song called the 'Sugar Plum Fairy' so it must be absolutely magical. And it was! For it's time.

One of the reasons we don't have sugar plums to look forward to anymore is because, frankly, we've been able to procure better Christmas goodies. Sugar plums were chopped up dried fruit and nuts, formed into a sticky ball then rolled in sugar. Fruit was a huge treat for the Victorians, so being able to not only have sweet, dried fruit but ALSO dip it in sugar must of been an absolute treat for children.

If You want to try these yourself, I have a recipe I found.

Sugar Plums

You will need: 3oz Dried Prunes (longevity, clears obstacles) 1oz Dried Dates (Rebirth) 1oz Dried Apricots (Rejuvenation, eases anxiety) 1oz Dried cranberries (Celebration, Rejuvenation, Bring people together) 2oz Walnuts or Other Assorted Nuts (Wishes, Prosperity) 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon (Success, Happiness, Prosperity) 1/4 teaspoon Cardamom (Love, Courage) 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg (Luck, Happiness, Prosperity) 1/4 teaspoon Cloves (Love, Friendships, Protection) Teaspoon of Honey (Happiness, Prosperity, Love, Friendship) 1/4 teaspoon salt Course Sugar

Chop your dried fruit and nuts until very small and fine. Add your chopped fruit, nuts, spices, salt, and honey to a bowl. Mix until well combined in a large ball. This is going to take some arm strength.

Once your lump is mixed, start rolling out smaller balls with your hand. Use the palm of your hands to help shape the small ball. Once you have your small ball, roll it in your sugar.

You have now made a sugar plum. Repeat until all the mixture has been rolled and covered.
