a quick PSA on pre-Robin Damian (again):

He has never called himself the "Blood Son". Those specific words have never come out of his mouth in a comic. In fact, Damian has only had dialogue regarding his bio status or another character's adoptive status like... three or four times.

Yes, pretty much all of those times have something to do with Tim in one way another. That's because Damian was less of a character, and more of a sword-carrying plot device when he was first introduced.

Damian's early writing lines up more with that of a minor villain than any supporting character. He existed at first only to rile up chaos in the Batcave for like, two issues, before his death in the fourth issue he appeared. He was introduced in issue 655 and killed by torpedo-submarine explosion in 658. Damian as a character was effectively "punished" for his earlier actions through a violent death.

You need to understand that early Damian (2009 mostly) didn't have a cemented personality or much characterization other than the basics that Morrison imbued into him i.e he was 10, an assassin, lax about death, very sarcastic/rude in tone, and weirdly spoiled despite his upbringing implying the opposite. Grant Morrison tends to write the large story concepts they like and they don't often adhere to any consistent/previous characterization (as seen with Talia) if it doesn't line up with the vision they want. Not even Damian's existence was kept consistent, as it's very hard to believe that Batman #656 Damian has the same backstory as Son of the Demon Damian or the Ibn al Xuffasch of Kingdom Come.

They didn't flesh out Damian a whole lot when he was first introduced, making him more of a spoiled rich kid who just happened to know how to kill people than the Damian that you probably think of. It took later comic appearances and other writers to add onto Damian's sporadic characterization - because he didn't have much major development after being created until becoming Robin and working alongside Dick.

To further characterize Damian as Robin, now that he needed to play against a larger cast and more established figures, writers needed to come up with ideas fast. So some writers played up his League backstory and wrote him colder, more logical and vaguely terrifying. They made Talia and Ras more and more ooc and abusive. They wrote dialogue for Damian that made him more of an annoying little brother figure, impulsiveness and all. Sometimes his dialogue with female characters drifted towards sexism, as clearly some writers can't write young boy characters without relying on shitty sitcom-style misogynist tropes. He got different moments, some skewing towards insanely violent or towards a normal child reeling from issues. This long trek of his writing was always changing in little ways until the reboot in 2011 and his first real death in Batman Incorporated, and then just continued on afterwards to this day.

In short, early pre-Robin Damian was a mess, and it took a long time for DC to develop him as a full character. (Even now, writers are still "figuring him out" and pulling ooc takes out of their asses). We have fun here.

I get so flustered from this scene because they were absolutely FUKKKKKKINNNNN that night and I am still so mad we can’t see it fully rendered

[necrotic-nephilim]

For the ask game: AU where during Tim's search for Bruce, Ra's agrees to help him on one condition: Tim will sleep with him. (It's probably some kind of scheme on Ra's part.) How their dynamic would change with more overt sexual undertone underlying their interactions...

for the ask game!

UGH i love this type of thing so much. in my heart, this is canon. to me. Ra'sTim my fucked up beloveds you two are so terrible for each other.

so what i think is fun and often misunderstood in fanon is that Tim didn't go to Ra's, Ra's went to Tim. so it's even more fun if Ra's goes to Tim, and has that condition he holds over Tim's head. offering all of Ra's' resources, full access to his computers, someone just genuinely believing Tim and working with him. i think, a lot of it would be a mind game for Ra's. sure he wants to fuck Tim, but more than that, he wants to see Tim's reaction. he expects an immediate no, in the way Tim is so hesitant to work with Ra's in the first place. he's pushing Tim's buttons and basically treating Tim like a rat in a maze. so when Tim says yes, and doesn't seem to hesitate too much. *that's* intriguing. because in a perfect world for Ra's, Tim says yes because of a genuine returned attraction. but Ra's isn't quite sure if that's the reason. it could just be because of Tim's search for Bruce. so Ra's would really push it, see how far he could take the sex. it's simple sex first, but Ra's gets more and more interesting each time. slowly working in kinks just to see where Tim draws the line in the sand, and if Ra's can convince Tim to cross that line.

on Tim's side, i think it's fun if you play with Tim being so deep in the closet he doesn't even realize he's bisexual, yet. so to him, sex with Ra's doesn't *really* count as sex. he knows Ra's is weirdly obsessed with him, and Tim wants to play that to his advantage. he likes the power that obsession gives him, within the League. so, if it takes some sex to satiate Ra's, Tim mentally views it as like, a training session. no worse than those unpleasant endurance trainings Bruce used to make them all do. and i like the accidental catch-22 of it. where at first, the sex does very little for Tim. but the more Ra's gets creative and kinky about it, the more Tim *actually* starts to enjoy it. Tim's bisexual crisis except it's over a centuries-old man showing him the joys of sadomasochism in an agreement that was supposed to be totally normal for Tim bc he just gets himself into these situations.

i think one of the biggest changes would be Tim's sheer amount of power and immunity in the League would be even higher. *everyone* can tell Ra's is fucking Tim, he's not really trying to hide it with the way he looks at Tim and touches him in front of everyone. Tim tries to stay clinical and professional, but you can only look so respected working when Ra's is basically stroking your chest as you work. there are whispers, people keep tellin Ra's not to trust this random son of the Bat, but no one will say it to Tim's face. it'd give Tim more power over Ra's' operation outside of the Bruce search. sure, Tim can't change the nature of the League of Assassins, but he can. tip the scales a bit. pull Ra's back from being lethal in certain situations, convince Ra's not to engage in other places. Tim is careful not to overextend this power so he doesn't lose it, but everyone else sees just how much power Tim has. he even start working on taking people out from under Ra's, when Tim goes nuclear and leaves. like how Tim basically steals Prudence, he steals some other younger Assassins he thinks he can convince to come to his side. because he's with Ra's, he starts to command a level of respect so it's not a difficult thing to do. sure, Tim's just the kid keeping Ra's' bed warm. but also, he's the kid *Ra's* deemed worthy enough to be involved with, so it's a double-edged sword of both disgust and respect held for Tim.

it's so funny to me if Tim starts to catch feelings. Ra's of course has feelings, but Tim has never noticed his feelings for a man before so he's fucking panicking internally. and worse, he's not doing a good job of hiding it. Ra's is perceptive and has centuries of experience on Tim. so he can tell. he sees the look on Tim's face when Ra's does a genuine romantic gesture with no strings attached. and that's when Ra's really leans into it. the sex is one thing, but now it's courting. gifts, pet names, kisses, praise, the whole nine yards. and Tim doesn't outwardly deny any of it because he just... doesn't know what to do with it. he could handle stupidly good sex. but this?? this is new territory. he's constantly reminding himself Ra's isn't a good person. which isn't hard to do but still, Tim's just a little torn internally. also. i think Ra's would at least try to kill Captain Boomerang, if not outright succeed, as a courting present for Tim. and Tim is *horrified*, but then again, in canon, he almost personally killed Boomerang. so maybe. there's something nice about having Boomerang dead, while escaping culpability. Ra's thinks his corruption crusade is working on Tim and is absolutely gloating about it. they even go on a proper date.

but, in the end, Tim still backstab Ra's. i think Ra's would still try to go for control of WI, but would be convinced Tim would be totally okay with it and offers to share control with Tim. that's how Tim betrays him, he's allowed to handle so much of the paperwork, Ra's has no idea until it all goes through that he actually has no control. it's The betrayal. because Tim will always betray his love for what he thinks is the right thing to do. the infamous scene, where Ra's kicks Tim out of a window would go a lot differently. instead of a dramatic fight, it's deeply wounded betrayal. in canon Ra's always knew Tim was never in his pocket, but in this AU, he was naive enough to fall for it. and he's angry. he's angry at Tim, angry at himself. i think he'd straight up try to kidnap Tim. less "kick Tim out a window" and more "intimately hold a knife to Tim's throat" vibes. they part ways, but there's still. something lingering. the bridge isn't fully burned and Ra's is still going to seek out Tim when he needs help, and Tim will seek out Ra's. they'll never trust each other again. but they also can't seem to stop loving each other. Tim hides it from the Batfamily and Ra's never gives Tim that level of control in the League again but. the "i didn't know who else to got to." moments are inevitable and there are whispers in the villain community about how you better be careful around Red Robin because if you're not, you'll piss off the Demon Head. unspoken, deadly protection while still sort of trying to kill each other.

[evilasiangenius]

He didn't so much hear Armand come in as he felt Armand come in. Like a moment of nullity moving through the room, a presence that was not a presence. A ghost.

“Daniel...” Armand sat down on the bed, his weight depressing the mattress lightly.

“No...go away.” Daniel tried to turn away but he was sweating and shivering, too cold, too hot.

“It's all right, Daniel. I'm here.” Armand shifted, bringing his legs up and lying down beside Daniel, moving into Daniel's arms. “I'm here.”

“You feel good.” Daniel pressed his cheek against Armand's cool forehead, sighing. He wrapped his arms tight around Armand and it was as though he could feel the heat melt away from him, soaking into Armand.

“My poor Daniel.” Armand stroked Daniel's pale hair. Daniel had only the faintest roughness of stubble clinging to his jaw, and his mussed hair had been cut and clipped in a slick modern style that suited him. Even his ruined clothes were new. That man had taken good care of him.

Daniel shifted, so he could move closer to Armand, so he could press his entire body against Armand. The fever was burning up inside Daniel, and Armand felt the twinge of that old fear, the fear of sickness and the death it brought. So often over the years he had seen Daniel shrug off coughs and chills that it had made him wonder at the strength of these modern mortals.

Death. His fingers brushed through Daniel's hair and Daniel sighed, turning so Armand's hand moved against his cheek. Just hiding under the skin, just beyond the bones. He wondered if he pressed his ear to Daniel's chest, if he could hear the little cells inside of him slowly dying, bursting and floating away.

“I won't let you.” Armand kissed his eyelids, speaking so softly that it was more for his own sake than Daniel's. “Not right now.” And he made that little cut on his throat and guided Daniel to to it. Daniel's dry lips moved against him, at first sluggish, but then he caught the taste of it and his mouth moved hungry.

ari give me dbf!jake thots pls oh my god

a heheh giggle maybe like

jake slips into your room while your dad’s in the next room. he’d catch you with your legs spread wide and your bottom lip caught between your teeth as your nimble fingers rub tight circles into your clit, your panties slipped to the side.

he watches for a few moments, salivating at the sight of you so desperate to get off and the sound of your concealed cries as you prod at your entrance. his cock strains against the fabric and his hand lowers to rub over the bulge before he inches towards you.

you take in his presence, skin tingling when he gently parts your legs further to make space for himself. jake's tongue licks a broad stripe up your clothed cunt and he hums before he slowly tugs them down your legs.

"look so fuckin' pretty spread for me, doll," he presses a kiss right above your clit and fists your panties in his hand.

your back arches, legs wrapping around his broad shoulders to pull him closer to your needy cunt, "please, do something. please, please, please,” you whine out, your heels digging into his shoulder blades.

jake bares his fangs, his hand coming down harsh on your clit, "quiet, kid.” he hisses as he reaches to stuff the fabric in your mouth, “now shut up before you get us caught.”

dan & phil always remind me of this quote from “my rainy days” (2009):

“since meeting you, i actually began wishing for more time. i want more time with you.”

they’ve been together going on two decades now. they forget how old they are, because it doesn’t matter when you’re with someone who sees you, loves you, and accepts you for all that you are forever. that love is what gives time meaning. because they just want every second they can get together. they even subconsciously rewrite the past, because the day they met was when their lives really began. they wanna share every moment, every experience, in this life and the next and the next…

one day they’ll be 4000 year old tortoises chewing grass and staring at the sunset, then maybe a lawyer and a phonetician meeting on a case, then space dust creating a planet or some shit. either way, one person accepting you can make all the difference in the world, and it truly has for them. who wouldn’t want more time with their soulmate, more time to be the best version of yourself with them

“TELL ME WHY YOUR HANDS ARE COLD”-JAKE SULLY

PAIRING: HUMAN! JAKE SULLY X HUMAN! READER

WARNINGS: FLUFF, MENTIONS OF QUARITCH HAVING CREEPY CRUSH ON THE READER, JAKE SULLY BEING A LOVE SICK FOOL, INSECURITIES ABOUT LOOKS, AFAB READER

One thing you missed about Earth was the makeup stores. It may seem pretty childish but it was the truth. You were often insecure about how you looked without some type of makeup on.

Luckily for you, the RDA head of security was more than happy to buy a luxurious gift of bright red lipstick for you. He left it with a note that had something like “your lips would look amazing in this color” on the packaging.

That little tube of lipstick never left your side and the shade never left your lips. Though even with makeup, your insecurities still got the best of you. One time Grace mentioned that your eyelash had fallen and you also broke down. You just seemed so embarrassed that something wasn’t right, that most of the scientists didn’t mention it in front of people instead sending a little hand movement to warn you.

Though some hadn’t picked on your feelings, like Norm. Honestly you couldn’t blame the man, you knew that your feelings were not very important nor easy to pick up on.

Norm had noticed your lipstick was smudged after you returned to lab after going to the bathroom. “Hey, [name] your lipstick is smudged”

You just replied with a cheeky grin, much to everyone’s surprise. Soon your response made sense, as Jake Sully wheeled in about five minutes after you returned. With dazed look in his eyes, to the lovesick smile and the dozen red lips scattered across his face.

AUTHOR’s NOTE: this is my first fanfic so sorry it sucks. “TELL ME WHY YOUR HANDS ARE COLD” will be series focusing on AVATAR/ATWOW characters w the red lipstick trend

Not me creeping up to the wordcount of the fourth longest book ever written

[torchickentacos]

do you have any pokeani fic recs for the classic vibe (read: the content is unhinged and wild)

Referencing this post- long reply but I give a few pointers in these fics' direction at the end!

I'm gonna be so honest anon, I'm not sure I want to actively rec some of them 😭 A lot of them are very of-their-time (usually 2007-2013) and, while HILARIOUS, often contain things that I really don't want to 'recommend' (homophobia, sexism, a lot of slutshaming, some REALLY out of pocket stuff that is not properly warned for, etc). OBVIOUSLY I am not reccing the yikes of things so much as the rest of it (the hilarious unhinged side), but the current fandomscape leans bad-faith and assumey and I'm just not keen to fuck around and find out tbh. Ye olde fic reccing takes a level of understanding of other time periods and attitudes and customs in fandom and on FFN that I'm... not sure that all of tumblr is always very good at tbh lol. If you guys really want me to and if we can all understand that it was a different time and that enjoyment of batshit insane fics does not equal agreement with everything said or depicted in them, then come back and I'll consider it again. But for now, I'm MORE than happy to tell you guys the best ways to find them on your own lmao. It's not hard once you get it down, and anything I'd rec, I've found through this method.

First off, FFN's search system is just frustrating imo. Between a less-than-intuitive UI and people not bothering to tag characters and ships and genres properly, using it the same way you'd filter stuff on Ao3 is a fool's errand (unless you're doing it by word count/completed/etc, which is objective and automatically tallied I think). You're better off using key words. I usually ignore the filters. The only thing I filter by is fandom at the start page (all of Pokemon is under 'games' in FFN and I don't bother narrowing it down to animeverse personally due to aforementioned mistagging or an entire lack thereof).

So, what key words do I use? When looking for that specific brand of insane campy 2000s kitschy wild unhinged stuff, I usually default to searches like "PS CS IS" (poke contest ikari, there's a lotta stuff in there, sometimes there's ORS/LGS/OS/ES/AS etc and you won't always know the acronym and it's just a surprise tbh) or trope related searches like "Assassin" or "High school" or "Vampire" other words you might find in a summary. You can also search by character names (in the search bar and not in the actual filters, which are not reliable in my experience). I'd say to go for tropes and AUs as far as keywords go. I'd ALSO say to not filter by completed, because that'll filter out a lot of two-week-passion-projects that someone dropped as soon as it got flamed, and there's some fun ones in there.

That's about it, but if you find one good fic then it's worth checking the rest of what the writer has. A lot of them have a bunch of unfinished fics and there's some hidden gems. Have a good time reading, and the search is half the fun! Come back with any funny lines you find if you want :)

Sights I am so desperate for a crumb of Cricket, can you please do a drabble/hcs of Cricket knitting lil booties for the dogs so they don't get cold toes on their winter walks 🥺

🖤 @slashhinginghasher

I made this special for you.

~~

Booties

A frown creeps across Cricket’s face when Two and Five come in from the back yard delicately stepping and shaking their feet as if in discomfort. Outside, frost coats the walkways and clings to the trees, and a thick layer of snow blankets the lawn. Record low temperatures, the radio had mentioned.

Indeed, when the frigid breeze billows in over the threshold and scatters a dusting snowflakes all over the floor, it chills her to the bone. Pity for the poor hounds settles heavy in her chest. There is no way they can go on their evening walks with Asa without injury to their paws.

An idea forms. When Asa leaves for work, Cricket completes her assigned daily chores in record time. Now, the afternoon is free to devote to her new project.

It is a miracle she has everything she needs: Stretchy fleece fabric in a color Asa won’t detest (she’d used it for making mittens), and leftover waterproof material from the boot covers Asa had asked her to make for…well, she doesn’t want to think too hard about that.

After several hours of trial and error and many fit tests with two very patient dogs, Cricket completes the final stitch just as the front lock clicks. Hurriedly, she slips eight handmade dog booties on eight excited paws. Quiet padding takes the place of clicking nails as the hounds rush to the front door to greet their master.

Cricket rounds the corner, gaze immediately assessing the disapproving crease in Asa’s brow as he stares down at covered dog feet. She waits until he turns his exasperated expression on her before explaining, “I didn’t want them to get frostbite.”

Cold, hard facts. He can’t argue with those.

The Collector’s shoulders rise and fall with his defeated sigh. He tosses the mail on the entryway table and strides away. The dogs still wear their booties.

Cricket takes great care in suppressing her triumphant smile. Today: Boots. Tomorrow: Sweaters.

If bryan said that nbc hannibal was fully inspired by bad romance by gaga, i would believe him
