Bruce is beekeeping age, but Artemis would still smash

I respect and agree.

Artemis (Amazon): Jason, your dad is at “beekeeping age.” You know what that means?

Jason refused to respond; he already knew where this conversation was headed. But Artemis took his silence as an invitation to elaborate on the slang term.

Artemis: It means he’s an attractive, middle-aged man—usually in his 40s or 50s. You know, the kind of guy who would keep bees and make his own honey.

Jason (monotone): That’s not something he does.

Artemis (undeterred): He doesn’t have to do that exactly. It’s just cute how he’s the cape crusader at night, but at home, he’s such an emo dork—like a businessman and a cool dad.

Jason pretended to examine his soda can, regretting that he had said anything at all. He wondered how the conversation had even started.

Artemis: He’s kind of cute—tough, tall, and handsome. How old is your dad?

Jason brought his hands together, trying to block out the thoughts swirling in his head.

Artemis: He’s definitely at "beekeeping age." Some Amazons even call him a DILF.

Jason (whispering to himself): I wonder if I killed myself and got thrown in the pit, would I forget this?

Artemis (looking longingly): He reads books, he’s always there for you guys. He protects you like he protects Gotham. I never had a dad, but my mom wasn’t even there for me like that.

Jason refused to respond, taking a long drink from his soda can instead.

Artemis (wistfully): The crazy thing is, none of my former partners—besides you, of course—have made my heart flutter like Bruce and guys like him do. I know you two aren’t close, but a strong man who loves you, supports you, and is conventionally attractive…

Jason examined his gun, debating what Artemis would say next while struggling to keep his boiling annoyance at bay.

Artemis (twiddling her fingers, lost in thought): Jason, I think I want to fuck your dad.

Jason (angry): No, really? I couldn’t tell!

---------------------------------------------

Later that day, Jason made a surprise visit to Bruce to discuss the earlier conversation. If he was going to live with that moment replaying in his head, the man connected to it would have to hear about it too.

Bruce: She said I was “beekeeping age?”

Jason (staring at his feet): Yes. And before you ask, it’s a term for an ‘attractive’ middle-aged man, usually in his 40s or 50s.

Bruce: How did she know I was in my 40s?

Jason: Oh my God, that's what you focus on?!

Bruce (alarmed): Sorry, sorry! I’m just thrown off by the fact that she said it—she’s your age, and that felt wrong to hear.

Jason: Yeah, she called you a DILF too.

Bruce: What’s a DILF?

Jason covered his eyes, cringing at the word.

Jason: Look it up. Because if I say the full acronym, I might shoot you in your kneecaps!

Bruce shrugged, then pulled out his phone to search for the definition. After reading it, he buried his head in his hands, exhausted by the world.

Bruce: I’m so tired of this. Why can’t people just see me as fairly attractive and move on?

Jason: Thank God we’re on the same page about this.

Bruce: Yep, yep, yep. I already had to get Selina to stop calling me "Daddy."

Jason nearly vomited at the thought of that word connected to his foster dad.

Jason: Yep, this is going to be a full session in therapy next week. Anyway, avoid her forever, or I'm going to lose my mind.

Bruce: I promise, I’m not going to do anything with her. That may have sounded wrong, but I wouldn’t because it's all kinds of messed up. I’m with Selina—she's my partner. Even if I were single—

Jason shot Bruce a glare, clutching a letter opener. Bruce nodded, cutting himself off before he could say anything that would make Jason want to stab him.

Bruce (ashamed): Have I paid you this month? I have not! Let me get my phone; I’ll be right back!

Bruce hurried out of the office, leaving Jason to collect his bearings. He pondered whether he deserved an extra paycheck after just getting paid last week, then shrugged.

Jason: Works for me.

[mintedwitcher]

Yeah I'm basically done with Athena's whole thing. You would think a Black woman in America would know better than to swallow the propaganda pills but y'know. Can't have cops on a major network being self-aware or anything.

Honestly, I don't even think making her head a task force would do anything, she's too far up her own ass justifying everything she does. She didn't even bat an eye when her colleague pointed a gun at her son. Her family could've died, and she defended the cops who nearly killed them. (Yes she gave a talk to the rookie and humiliated the older cop, but that was only after Michael guilted her. She still insisted that Michael and the kids should've done differently in the moment, as if Michael hadn't done EVERYTHING right.)

I honestly don't think there is a way to fix her at this point. It's gone on for too long and she hasn't faced consequences for her behaviour in years.

Anyway, yeah the Ortiz storyline could've been SO juicy. Hen and Karen deserved to have their license suspended, because like it or not, they DID fuck up and break the rules. Hen broke into the group home. Karen stalked the mom of their first foster kid. Hen and Karen BOTH stalked the bio dad of Mara's little brother. And they didn't disclose to their lawyer OR to CPS that Maddie and Chim were their friends when they took Mara in. All of that is beyond reasonable justification to revoke their license, and yes, it sucks, but sometimes life just fucking sucks. There are consequences, and the fact that henren dodged ALL of them just by... what, entrapping a political figure and getting bailed out by fucking Gerrard of all people? It's weak storytelling.

Don't even get me started on the absolute bullshit that is Madney's plot this season smh.

non bucktommy related thoughts re: Confessions

henren have been together how many years now and somehow Hen's job is still a point of contention for them? seriously? after they had this talk before in a prior season and Hen had the chance to leave the fire department to be a doctor, and they decided as a family that staying with the 118 was the better choice? and now they want to drag that dead horse back out and keep flogging it for another dry and musty and baseless conflict? like hello yall COULD'VE had a good story for henren this year if yall had just let the Ortiz thing run its course naturally instead of shoehorning in some entrapment and weirdo legal logic that doesn't even come close to being believable.

and is it just as dry and musty to keep rehashing the "henren risks losing their kids" thing again and again? yeah, but at least Ortiz made it interesting. she could've been an amazing season-long villain but nope, let's wrap that up tight.

this season has consistently failed to deliver meaningful stories for the main cast (Buck excluded, until now). it's been all smoke and mirrors since the premiere, and I am bored.

[snownorites]

Some disjointed thoughts on Sua and her sister that I had yesterday cause I've seen some people on twt being really adamant that Sua was in the "loved before anakt" category and I don't think that's what the point of Heavenly Garden is personally

For one, I don’t think she's actually looking out for Sua here. (using WhataFruit's translation)

I think her intention was to make Sua feel bad about herself. The word choice is extremely deliberate: "you're so unkempt" "that is unseemly" "you're already dumb enough as it is". That last one is obvious but those first two I think are super important to understanding the kind of competitive environment "being" a doll must have fostered. She's trying to put Sua "in her place" here and make her feel like she doesn't actually deserve any of the favouritism Nigeh gives her because she's "stupid" and can't even play her part properly.

And Sua has every reason to believe what her sister tells her. Outside of her cruelty she's so nice, so gentle, she even plays with her and tickles her. Ofc Sua would assume that she has the best intentions and to me that's the point of why her sister acts that way. It's not about affection or love really, it's something closer to bullying. This way every insult, every instance of belittling however small stays with her and hurts her. Her pity of Sua may be "genuine" but it seems to be more mocking? Saying that she loved Sua to me feels a bit like buying into the performance.

The framing of the comic to me is also very interesting because the contrast between Mizi and Sua's sister is telling us that we need to consider their affects on Sua in relation with each other. Sua did not feel loved before she met Mizi.

Her saying this is supposed to show that her sister was all she ever knew in terms of human connection. "Back then" as in before meeting Mizi.

Sua thinks that her sister was actually the pitiful one all along but something really interesting is that it's not because she finally found self worth or because she knows that her sister was wrong about her being unkempt or "stupid", it goes right back to love. Her sister is pitiful because she didn't know love.

That heavenly garden, Mizi, loving and being loved. If Sua felt love before anakt I don't really see why it'd be framed like this.

And the thing is that love is a super big theme in Alien Stage. You could very well argue that this is just how her sister shows love and since we don't have her pov the way that we do Io's or Ivan's there's absolutely no way to refute that the same way there's no way to prove that. But to me including Sua in the same category as Mizi and now Till feels really disingenuous. Mizi and Till felt loved before anakt and carried forward that love in all their actions. Sua did not and her actions reflect that.

I think that Sua's feelings of self hatred are a pretty important thing to also consider when analysing anything to do with her (and I'll probably have to do a seperate post about that because this is already so fucking long lmao) People don't pay enough attention to this and how a lot of it comes from the bullying she experienced

Before Mizi, Sua was objectified by everyone around her, humans and segyein alike. And maybe her sister was different and we'll see that in another comic but to me heavenly garden's intention is to reinforce that this bullying wasn't just the very overt kind that's shown above. Like with the new Till comic, all the material we get builds onto each other, Heavenly Garden gives context to just how sinister the bullying was.

And I don't say all this to say that people are wrong about her sister potentially loving her, maybe she did, but Sua did not feel loved or experience that love. It's weird that I'm seeing more justification and rationalisation of her sister's behaviour than people actually taking Sua's narrative into consideration and trying to understand how her sister fits into it.

[moonsrune]

Tyler closes his eyes and basks in the tenderness of her touch. It was almost like her fingertips were healing him, going over past injuries and filling them with light. He read once that Japanese people have this tradition where they fill cracks with gold. They call it kintsugi. That's how she makes him feel. Like all of his insecurities can be beautiful. Over the years, he tried to cover his scars up with tattoos, but some were still noticeable. Such as the burn marks on his arm. One of his foster father's thought he was an ashtray. Either that or he just enjoyed abusing him for absolutely no reason at all. Over time, Tyler learned not to flinch or make a sound. That only pissed him off more. He wanted a reaction and when Tyler refused to give him one, it got worse. He left that house with three broken ribs and fifteen stitches. "I don't know if its true but I feel like it is. I know there's parts of me I would like to have back." Tyler raises a hand and brushes his fingers over one of her dimpled cheeks. He wonders if she has any scars or markings he's not aware of. "Would you be jealous if I said yes, I have?" Tyler's eyebrows draw together, trying to read her beautiful expression. "I've given a lot of myself away because I didn't see myself as worth anything," he lets out a gentle sigh and his finger slowly moves down her neck over her collarbone. He notices she always wears a chain with a little B pedant. He traces over it before bringing his hand back. "My first time was awful, pretty girl. That's why it was important to me for yours to be better. I wasn't ready and I didn't enjoy it. It's just one of those things you wish you could take back. Do you have any of those moments?"

"That's why I like you." Or, one of the many reasons why. At this rate, she was losing count on how many there actually were. 5? 10? 15? 100? It could be any one of those numbers. Brooke a mental note to start keeping a tally, just in case she ever needed a reminder or he did, too.

While laying down next to him, Brooke notices the small scar tucked between the length of his eyebrow where there's a tiny patch of hair missing. To some, it looks like it'd be a fashion statement but she knows it's not. He told her as much already. But now, for the first time ever... she reaches out to touch and examine it. As if she knows there's stuff from his past he wants to share but isn't ready to yet. Maybe it's her subconscious's way of saying... he can open up to her, when he wants to. "Is that true?" If so, she could believe it. Since losing her virginity to him, Brooke's felt a tether to him. A part of her feels attached to him, forever. And no, maybe that's not what he means or maybe it's not even the same thing but it still doesn't change the facts. A part of her wants to ask how many people he's given a piece of himself to. She knows there's Nina. But, who else? Rather than voice the question out right, she strives for subtlety and something a little less intrusive. "Have you given away many pieces of yourself?" Was there anyone else he slept with that she knew? "You don't have to answer that, if it's too personal. Maybe tell me about your first time then. What was it like? Did you like her?"

[inter-st]

I Would Do Anything for You

I'll smile when you speak, remember all those times I was hoping for something, and shaking my head from all I had done... But you never left me.

I've fallen in love and it's better this time than I've ever known.

[swordmaid]

i am wide awake thinking about that post canon jb au again when I should be sleeping …!!! such is the nature of the jbrainrot…

[puppetmaster13u]

Thinkin' of WOF Au for DC, but like, it's a Gothamite and Fawcett thing. (And Amity Park if crossover)

Like those are the most magical areas in the world, even if Gotham is cursed as fuck. An unspoken secret of sorts that while they present themselves as human to outsiders, they are all Very Much Not.

Which means hilariously in the league, when everyone expects Batman to be suspicious and short with the new guy- even made bets on it- they are then shooketh when both visibly relax and start talking. And half the shared complaints don't make sense!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now Gotham technically has no Queen, nor does Fawcett, but Batman and Captain Marvel are the closest things. Not in the traditional sense of back when they were in separate tribes (& maybe from a different dimension but shh that was millennia ago) but in the sense of, they're the ones patrolling and protecting the cities along with calling the shots in disasters.

Which does sort of change the dynamic they both have in their city. If one of them calls to arms, the city would follow them. They could declare war, and their cities (begrudgingly in Gotham's underbelly's case of strongest is in charge) would follow. And while Billy is oblivious, both Marvel-the-not-hivemind and Batman are. They know they have to be very careful.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure we all want Nightwing Bruce but no. Bruce, like both his mother and father and father's father and so on before him, is actually an Icewing. The Waynes however, have a case of melanism running in their bloodline. Thomas Wayne? Only his quills and part of his back were darker, but Bruce? Practically pitch black scales that shadow his eyes.

Now Alfred on the other hand, is a Nightwing. No special powers there, though you would hear many a child protest with how he seems to know everything.

Commissioner Gordon is a Mudwing, big stocky and very tired, which translates to his human disguise as a large trenchcoat. He finds this very amusing. Barbara similarly, is half Mudwing. Her mother was a Hivewing, making her a hybrid between both. Which does ironically mean that Batgirl does in fact have insectoid wings. Though that does ponder the question on if they'd all go by their original vigilante names.

Dick is a Silkwing. Wingless as he watches his parents fall and unable to do anything despite this place supposedly being safe for beings like them. He grows into his own, and his wings, when they come in, are dark Gotham colors through and through, with the deep blue of the sky he's come to crave.

Jason is a hybrid between a Mudwing and a Skywing. He's also an animus- not that he knew that. He doesn't find out until he's dying, telling himself to not die, to get back to Gotham, to his dad, his family- And then he wakes up in his Coffin, alive.

Now Cass, raised to be the perfect killer, is also a hybrid, just one between a Nightwing and a Rainwing, egg set out under the moon. Which succeeds, partially. She can't straight up read minds, but combined with her talent in reading body language on both human and inhuman bodies, it's a near thing.

Tim is a Seawing, borderline abandoned by his parents who seek treasures and more wealth as he's trapped back in a city where the water is dark and poisoned. But he's Gothamite, through and through, and he adapts. Scales darker than the original blues he was born with, and glow shifting to that sickly white of the Gotham's Bats.

Now Steph, is a full-blooded Rainwing, and can in fact change her scales, but can mostly be found in purples and golds. Though for a short time she was in another set of colors, thought dead before she slithered out of the shadows older and wiser than before.

Damian is his father's son, but he's also an Al-Ghul. The not-quite dragonet is half Icewing, and half Sandwing. And struggled to adjust at first, to a place so different from his first home where the only other dragons were blood related. But like any Wayne before him, he adjusts, and he adapts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Billy wasn't a Beetlewing originally, and perhaps he would have hesitated if he'd known it would change him, would change his body and the last thing he had of his parents. But his friends, his Team and new family help. And he can pass as a Silkwing like their sort-of foster mother. All six of them can do so now, even if the others look more like hybrids themselves thanks to not being the Champion. They might not be, but they're his family. And that's enough.

[swagging-back-to]

worst trope is found family separating as soon as the antagonist is dealt with.

[neopuff]

shego/drakken // anything for you

[viktorharmonia]

havent been online much but i wanted to talk about a specific character that has been extremely mischaracterized and in my opinion deserves better

This guy

I think Volo is an unique character, pretty much misunderstood, but his personality/character is what makes him one of the best characters, i wouldnt count him as a villain even if he summoned Giratina, his pokemon team says otherwise as they require friendship and specific items in order to evolve them, i think this guy loves his pokemon, hell he would die for them.

What upsets me is how the fandom views him, he's portrayed as an evil creep who still wants to take over the world by defeating Arceus WHICH BY THE WAY is not true, he wanted a world with no pain and suffering, you cannot tell me he is just like Cyrus, those two have different goals and ideals, One wants to create a world with no pain, and the other wants to make a world in their own liking and vision, giving an example of the Distortion World as this is what Cyrus wanted exactly.

The other view of the fandom is portraying Volo as a p#dophile, shipping him with literal kids (Akari/Rei, Akari mostly) and treating it as if its nothing bad, we may not know the protagonists canonical age but can only accept/speculate that they are 15 from the PLA dialogues, but if the protagonists actually were adults then their models wouldnt look like they were still teenagers/kids, this is literal pedophilia right there and i dont think Volo would be interested in romance with kids (i headcanoned him as aroace/asexual cuz theres no way this guy would want to be with anybody)

Aside from Volo being the main antagonist/villain in PLA, i think it was stupid to make HIM of all people a villain, Hisui takes place hundreds years past where it was very difficult to survive, i dont knoe much about Japanese history so correct me on that one thank you. with these kinds of conditions i wouldnt even THINK about making this guy a villain, i bet he had a very rough past, how the hell can you make this guy a literal enemy, i may not be a professional writer but i do think it would be better to make Volo rather a good guy and actually want to help people not suffer, afterall the Ginkgo guild is all about selling things/helping people in need with resources they found (may be wrong on that but shut). Also i would portray Volo as an isolated guy, since he (POSSIBLY) had a traumatic past and he was all alone (we have no idea where his parents are/what happend to them), he might have been more distant with people but thanks to the Ginkgo Guild he was able to connect with other people bit by bit and socialize with them and stay positive to not make them feel bad.

(sometimes im wondering what kinda bullsh#t im writing but hey thats just my vision of this guy who i think deserves a lot better than just "haha im evil fear me and my gigantic worm")

[rubberbandballqueen]

when i was a kid, i kind of hated it whenever my dad would use "because you are a part of this family" as a reason for me to do chores n stuff, but recently at work i started telling kids, "because this is a community space, and you are a part of this community" whenever they'd complain abt having to pick up stuff they didn't take out, and shockingly, that's all it takes to make them obediently clean up after each other

[textualviolence]

screenshotting this tag because i’m not trying to start a fight but. with all due respect i could not disagree more

[obstinatecondolement]

I give my dad's brother a pass on never contacting us, as he is more broadly shunning all of my dad's side of the family. He was adopted and was treated like shit by my grandmother, because she a) didn't want to adopt and resented her adopted children, and b) was a fucking racist to her black adopted children, so he doesn't consider us to be his family. Particularly now that he is in contact with his biological mother and half-siblings.

He's also chronically depressed to a very disabling degree and lives in another country, so like... there are barriers to communication there that are different to the rest of the family not talking to us because they think we're embarrassing and messy.
