#i have questions

[rynan16]

Excuse me Ras, I have a question. How do you expect to gain an hair from Tim if you’re having two boys marry? I mean, unless we’re going with trans-Danny here, but like, I don’t know, it always feels weird to me when people expect trans men to just like, be perfectly ok and comfortable with carrying a child like that??? Cause like, I don’t know, but I feel like that would be very degrading or like, dysphoric. I imagine this wouldn’t apply to everyone, of course, but I feel like it would be very rude to just, assume-

Tim Drake’s Worst Nightmare: Ra’s al Ghul’s Matchmaking Skills

It started with a mission.

Tim hadn’t expected to be sent after a new ghost anomaly, much less one that was human-shaped and strangely familiar. But when he found himself face-to-face with Danny—a teenager who radiated Lazarus energy like it was his second skin—things got weird. Fast.

Cue the League of Assassins bursting onto the scene, followed by a dramatic entrance from none other than Ra’s al Ghul himself.

And that’s when Tim learned the big, world-shattering truth: Danny was Ra’s al Ghul’s son. Not adopted. Biological.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Tim stood, slack-jawed, watching Ra’s beam with the kind of pride usually reserved for conquering cities. Danny, standing awkwardly next to him, scratched the back of his neck.

“Yeah, so, uh… surprise?” Danny offered.

Ra’s spread his arms wide. “Timothy! This is a joyous day. My son, Daniel, has found you at last.”

Tim blinked. “Found me?”

Danny shuffled nervously. “Uh, yeah. You’re kind of… important to the family now.”

Tim’s brain short-circuited.

The Heir Situation

Because here’s the kicker: Ra’s had been trying to get Tim to join the League for years. He saw Tim as a potential heir. But now, with Danny in the picture, Ra’s had an even better idea.

“Through Daniel,” Ra’s explained, practically glowing, “I can finally bring you into the family as I always intended.”

Tim pinched the bridge of his nose. “I am not marrying into the League of Assassins.”

Danny choked. “Wait, what?!”

Ra’s nodded sagely. “I see you are both shy about it. No matter! Destiny has a way of unfolding as it should.”

Tim and Danny exchanged horrified glances.

Danny and Tim’s Relationship

Despite the chaos, Danny and Tim clicked. Danny was chaotic but genuine, a refreshing contrast to the constant stress of Gotham. And Tim? Tim was the most grounded person Danny had ever met.

“You know, you don’t have to listen to Ra’s,” Tim pointed out after one particularly tense League encounter.

Danny shrugged. “Yeah, but if I don’t humor him, he gets pouty.”

Tim snorted. “Ra’s al Ghul? Pouty?”

“You have no idea.”

The Batfamily’s Reaction

When Tim brought Danny back to Gotham, the batfam had questions.

Bruce: “He’s… Ra’s’ son?”

Tim: “Yep.”

Jason: “And you’re… what, his fiancé now?”

Tim: screaming internally

Danny: “I’M RIGHT HERE.”

Damian, eyes wide: “Uncle?”

Danny grinned. “Hey, kiddo.”

Damian, flustered: “I—no. This cannot be.”

Ra’s Is Thrilled

Back in Nanda Parbat, Ra’s couldn’t be happier. Every time Tim showed up, Ra’s looked like Christmas came early.

Ra’s: “Timothy, you and Daniel are a perfect match.”

Tim: “In what universe?”

Danny: “Technically, several.”

———

Danny Was Happy.

That was the problem.

Tim might hate making Ra’s happy, but… Danny was different.

Danny liked being part of the League. He liked the structure, the weird family dynamic. He liked the purpose. And he was thriving.

Tim couldn’t ruin that.

Tim didn’t want to make Ra’s happy—he’d rather swallow glass—but he did want to make Danny happy.

And if that meant putting up with Ra’s al Ghul’s matchmaking schemes, well…

Tim gritted his teeth and endured.

———

Tim’s Inner Monologue:

“Being with Danny isn’t the issue. The issue is that it makes Ra’s happy. And I refuse to let that man win.”

Danny: smirking “You’re fighting a losing battle.”

Tim: “Shut up.”

Danny: “Love you too.”

HEY GUYS WHY IS SHE IN DARIUS' CABIN. GUYS. GUYS

IM NOT CRAZY. ITS THE SAME FUCKING DOOR

[cacodaemonia]

When I came across this post yesterday, I was surprised that op said they don't see people making art/moodboards/crafts/etc. for other people's fics anymore.

That and commenting on fics have been the main way I've interacted with fandom over the past like, 25 years, so I'd be curious to know what other people think in the tags.

For now, though:

I wanted to include podfics and playlists in this, but that would make the poll too broad, I think, so I just wanted to focus on visual art here.

One of the questions I have that was left unanswered... Is he wearing booty shorts, leg warmers, and socks? 3 pairs of tall socks? Socks and two bicycle shorts? Seriously, what's going on there.

wait a second

if Rhys(and) is approximately 40 years older than Tamlin.

And He sought Tamlin out for a friendship. Tamlin had 2 adult fae after him at the same time.

Not only that but how old was Tamlin when Rhys(and)’s mother and sister were attacked?

Pangpang has beef with Best

Before I begin my investigation, in the opening of Peaceful Property, the news reporter is telling about the teenager who died by suicide and the album cover to the left of the TV is The Virgin Suicides vinyl. I see you props department. Also, the little statue to the right looks like the World Cup trophy.

But anywho . . .

Pangpang has beef with Best!

I can't trust Best because Pangpang has some animosity toward him, and it's apparent to the people watching the live stream too. When Best says he and Peach are chefs, Pangpang responds to the camera that Best said he was a chef, but she says it sarcastically.

Then she says that Peach is a chef too.

Best overhears her saying this, so he interrupts her, smiling a little too much, and asks what she says, but she tells him she said it was a great house.

And this is when the watchers point out that she is being fake and doesn't actually like Best.

And when she is running out of the house, she screams "Home tour, my ass!" but it seems like she already didn't trust going over to Best's house and this incident only confirmed it.

Which makes me think that Best might be a show-off or was previously deceitful, and that's what Pangpang thought he would do because when Peach said he saw Best at the temple, Pangpang calls Best smug.

Pangpang has to know who Best is because he's pictured on the wall of dreams right next to Peach, which she looks at (and there is a little frown face pinned between Peach and Best in the picture covering up someone else).

But either way, when Peach defends Best, Pangpang hits him with the "Sure, Jan" look.

Because it feels like Best went to the temple not to bring offerings to the monks but with the intention of finding Peach since he needed a ghost out of his house.

And even though Pangpang acts like she doesn't remember him, he remembers her.

So it might be a bit before we see Best again, but I want to know why Pangpang is holding grudges to the extent of acting like she doesn't know Best, but Peach isn't. And if it has anything to do with why Peach's hand keeps shaking.

I wanna know if Best really is the Best Boy.
