do u think jason todd would be a good teacher and follow up question, what do you think bruce's reaction would be if he learned jason was actually alive and an english teacher in park row (au where jay became a teacher instead of red hood)

OOOH, OKAY (thank you for this ask, it's given me so many ideas)

Jason gets his GED, enlists in a university at 17 and gets his qualification to teach at 20 and so by 21 he's a teacher at Park Row High. He primarily teaches English but is also the cool teacher that students go to for anything an everything, especially because of how young he is. He occasionally helps out with gym class and takes part in a lot of school events.

Jason enjoys teaching so much and has gotten so many compliments on his teaching style and how it helps students and so he decides to offer tutoring on the side, both for high school and university students.

Stephanie Brown, recently enrolled at Gotham University has been struggling with an English essay (a course she took because she thought it would be fun) and decides to contact the English teacher from Park Row High for tutoring that everyone has been talking about. This leads to them becoming friends and Tim, the stalker that he is, gets suspicious of this tutor Stephanie has befriended, and immediately digs into the guys background, leading to a big reveal eventually that Jason Todd is alive, and a teacher.

Bruce would be so happy and proud. There probably would be a part of him that's relieved that at least one of his children is not a crime fighting vigilante anymore. Bruce would be fully supportive of Jason's career and would probably get a copy of Jason's teaching certification framed and put up in his study

imagining Steve and Billy becoming frenemies to lovers, but in that transitional period where they’re just starting to do sleepovers and cuddling and kissing and stuff, Steve’s parents are home for a week and during that week they get to know the boy who’s become their son’s best friend.

and Billy’s charming, he stays for dinner and helps clean up afterward, he and Steve watch the game with Mr. Harrington sometimes, they roughhouse in the hallways while Mrs. Harrington yells at them to take it outside or to quiet down - just teenage fun. things best friends do in front of their parents.

and it’s nice. because Billy doesn’t have this easiness with his own family, he isn’t allowed to just relax and move easily through a home, he doesn’t get easy affection like he does when Steve kisses his cheek in private or when Mrs. Harrington gives his arm a gentle squeeze in silent ‘thanks’ for drying the dishes, or a friendly pat on the back when he helps Mr. Harrington out around the house.

it’s kinda weird, too. being in a home that isn’t filled with constant tension. yeah, the Harringtons all argue, like how Steve talks back to his parents and how his parents argue with each other. but, it’s never bad. no one ever gets hit. and it’s weird.

Billy’s favourite memory, though, is when Steve spent just a little bit too much money on his daddy’s credit card and Mr. Harrington gave him a full-on lecture in front of Billy, telling him to ‘not waste money on dumb shit Steven’, even though it’s literally just food and movies and stuff for the two of them when Mr. & Mrs. Harrington are out of town for one of those business trips.

and sure, Steve’s dad has been unknowingly paying for their dates for a month, but there’s no harm in that, right? they should be happy their son found a boy his age to hang out with!

after the verbal lashing, Steve is as red as a tomato and groaning his embarrassment out into his hands as they cover his face, all while Billy laughs at him for getting caught and fucking chewed out over it like a little kid.

the cute pout-glare combo that Steve gives him makes him laugh even harder and he makes sure to slow his giggles enough to kiss that pretty pout off Steve’s face.

Why are they making Loki x Sylvie a thing they're so best friends coded.

And how heartbreaking would it be if that Nexus event wasn't caused because they fell in love with a variant of themselves, but rather because no Loki is supposed to have friends.

[radiosummons]

Used to stick together

"You're my best friend, I'll love you forever" (would you come with me?)

(It would get you so)

"We could be the greatest"

"It doesn't matter if we're never rich or famous" (would you come with me?)

(It would get you so)

Honestly kinda love the dynamic Lee and Ed have going on. Like two frenemies. I love two frenemies who work together.

Fingers crossed they don’t kiss and have some weird romance in the end bc I would actually lose it

so, in canon, thrushpelt was very kind and friendly to bluefur basically since her first day of life, when he was already a full warrior

idk, might just be me, but it really gives me the feeling that he liked her since then or around that time and this with their big age gap makes me deeply uncomfortable about their relationship

i might've missed some posts that explain this, but how will thrushpelt and bluefrost's age gap and all this stuff be in this au?

Its been a WHILE since I read this book so I don't remember how much they interested before blue was an adult buuut in RoC they didn't interact much before Blue was an adult!

Tbh I don't really care for their relationship that much romance wise, I love them much more as bffs sooo in RoC Thrush had a crush on her after they became friends but he eventually moved on and they were bffs for life! One of the things on the list of many that sent Star Bluefrost down hill was Thrush dying in the fire during the first arc :P

"Luke and Vince today. Look, there's always something between them and it always is Luke's fault. Gabs, I don't wanna be that guy. Resentful, passive-aggressive.... You know, petty ain't cute. And I gotta be cute if I'mma be back on the market."

"You're not just cute. You're kind. And you're gonna be one hell of a catch."

[robyn-i-guess]

liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

[a-study-in-bullshit]

"I love you , I'm glad we're friends"

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

The math just adds up!

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

Peter and Flash have the potential to have such a funny relationship
