Fenton Coded
Tim... Tim just stared.
He...
Huh.
He had once entertained the idea that he wasn't really a Drake, a very long time ago when he overheard his mom and dad arguing and some words were said in the heat of the moment, but to be honest Tim always thought the obvious culprit of anyone being his dad would most likely be Bruce (Bruce even admitted he had a small fling with his mother but that was two years before her marriage)
But before little Tim's curiosity could really take hold on the idea, he had saw on the news Robin performing a Grayson flip and the hint of Tim not being a Drake left his mind. Robin was Dick Grayson! And if he was Robin that had to mean Bruce Wayne was Batman!
Then well... his stalking of the Bats started and the rest became history.
But now, as Tim was staring at his own DNA test, something he never bothered to do until that damned Demon brat wanted to make sure he was ONLY blood son of Bruce (and doing a DNA test something even Bruce never thought of doing due to well… how he was towards Tim during his first months as Robin)
He well…
He kinda needs to find out who this Daniel Jackson Fenton is.
(Tim finds out he isn’t a Drake, but also not a Wayne (because Damian wanted to make sure he was only blood son) but is instead a Fenton)

"On a night of wint'ry fog, the rune of Death was stolen. And the demigods began to fall, starting with Godwyn the Golden." Framed it to juxtapose the piece with Morgott and Mohg.

What Jason saw when Bruce walked off after he saved joker instead of him
Context:
Spoiler warning btw for
Batman: Under the Red Hood
batman under the red hood comic was where Jason todd was killed by joker, came back to life and sought revenge on joker, but Batman stopped him before he could truly kill joker. By throwing a bat-arang at his neck

I have a type:
Abandoned by their families,
Left to fend for themselves,
Have a fake birthday,
In love with their older brothers,
Will do anything for them,
Including LEAVING FOR FOUR YEARS,
Buy sentimental pieces of jewelry
Cheers to my sloppy drunks

— If you create us a kingdom, we will write the book of our future. The future of the Church, of the world we live in will be ours, yours, and your children's. You say nothing? Why do you think we wished you a cardinal? So you would be Pope one day. Carve us out a kingdom, Cesare, and be both king and pope. I am stunned into silence.
#this scene is just so powerful even though cesare didn't have lines#cesare was proven wrong after all the time he was thinking juan was the favorite...#he came to the realization that even though rodrigo saw so much of himself in him...#he still planned from the beginning to make cesare his true heir!!!#in this scene he was brought relief and a sense of validation after years of feeling inadequate...#like he always intended for cesare to succeed him in the church from the very startwhich was the only way that truly mattered to rodrigo#but ces has always viewed being the leader of the papal army is The prestigious position so he envied juan thinking rodrigo was favoring hi#and when rodrigo shared his dream of creating a papal bloodline to be passed down to cesare and his own son?#cesare's perspective shifted <3#the borgias#theborgiasedit#cesare borgia#cesareborgiaedit#perioddramaedit#tvarchive#tvedit#cinemapix#tvgifs#tvcentric#by jen

With the reveal that Aduo didn’t actually want to be the mother of the nation, looks like we now have a concrete path to a happy ending for Jinshi.
Though I actually really want to see him as the Emperor one day (at least for a time), it would be thematically appropriate if Jinshi takes not after the Emperor, but after Gaoshun and becomes the retainer of the future Emperor.
#knh spoilers#kusuriya no hitorigoto#the apothecary diaries#jinshi#aduo#maomao#looking at gaoshun and taomei#it does solve everything#jinshi would still be able to be close to the seat of power#and do good for the nation#in guiding the future emperor the same way gaoshun guided him#since he’s not power hungry he would have the emperor’s interests (not just as the leader of the nation) but as a family member at heart#and at the same time he wouldn’t be pressured to take in more than one spouse#maomao would be free to explore the nation as she pleases#the history of the owner of the jade plaque with the favored son of a former emperor#abdicating and eventually being given a name#seems to be foreshadowing for what will happen even if Jinshi’s true heritage does get out#I’m sure factions will try to use him as a piece#but in the same vein that maomao decided her own fate herself#it would make sense for Jinshi to achieve what he wants to do regardless of the circumstances of his birth#and it would be sweet if he took after his foster father#win win solution for everyone really#yeah ok I’ll be fine even if jinshi doesn’t become emperor as long as he becomes retainer#maomao would be better leading medical reforms rather than be an empress too#it would also be subversion of the usual chosen one will lead tropes#yeah no how about the secret prince becomes the mentor instead

desperately need people to understand that alicent is a victim but she’s also an abuser and a perpetrator
that she actively makes choices to harm other women because of jealousy and envy and the greed deep in her bones because submitting to suffering didn’t get her what those women fight to grasp for themselves.
she is absolutely a victim, in show.
that doesn’t change that she abused rhaenyra and her children, her own son, most likely helaena given how she flinches every time her mother touches her, and is actively weaponizing the patriarchy of westeros against other women- rhaenyra primarily, but also mysaria and dyana.
she isn’t the moral, righteous force of good that even she thinks she is, she’s a wounded woman directing all of the rot, pain, and fury inside her at the wrong people and forces.
#anti team green stans#anti team green#anti alicent hightower stans#i don’t wanna say it’s anti alicent bc honestly it’s more ‘accept her for who she is bc she’s so much more complex and interesting when you#but i made this bc someone genuinely tried to say that the reason people hate her is that they don’t see her as a victim#most rational people know show!alicent is a victim#it’s the point that’s she’s an abuser as well#that makes them dislike her#that she’s a hypocrite and a traitor#i don’t even like young alicent bc i don’t at all think she was a good friend to rhaenyra#‘it’s not your place to question the plots of lords and men’ to the named heir#dismisses rhaenyra’s hopes and idealism entirely out of hand#is baffled that rhaenyra is more worried for her fathers happiness and mother’s wellbeing than her position#she knew as early as ep 3 that otto was conspiring against rhaenyra and never told anyone#condemns ‘targaryen customs’ only to wed her daughter to her son even younger than she was when otto dangled her before viserys#acts entitled to rhaenyras secrets whilst condemning and judgemental even though she did not give rhaenyra that same courtesy#made no attempt at apology for the insensitive comment of aegon’s birth#though rhaenyra DID try to apologize for the ‘imprisoned in a castle’ line and tried to comfort her#uses her power as queen to push past the space rhaenyra is trying to create because she feels heartbroken and betrayed#rhaenyra took part in alicent’s culture with prayer at alicent’s urging because she cared about alicent and alicent was trying to help her#alicent is never once shown to return that favor instead condemning it for ‘queerness’ and growing to later#erase and remove all targaryen and valyrian heraldry from the red keep to replace with her own#like alicent is a victim and i DO have empathy for her. but i don’t like her and never will#especially not after the way her stans behave#she deserved better than otto’s machinations and viserys’…. viserysness#but that can also be true whilst i condemn her actions and behaviors

Y'know, ever since I stumbled across Epic: The Musical by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, I've been somewhat surprised by the fact that there's been a boon in fanfiction relating to Greek Mythology—even if only primarily focused on the events of the Odyssey. Considering that I'm long since over my Greek mythology fixation faze from middle school about half my life ago (I've never read the Percy Jackson series, I just liked how wild the mythos was), I'm mostly indifferent to the topic, but I do have ONE gripe with all the stories I've been coming across lately.
There's this popular interpretation that Athena is Zeus's favorite child, but when you actually get down to assessing all available (AKA surviving) historical accounts/myths regarding the paternal fidelity of Zeus, it's pretty obvious that his favorite kid is Apollo. That being said, I'm pretty sold on the notion that Athena is at least the favorite daughter, with Artemis perhaps being a not-so-close second.
Honestly, percentage wise, I'd say Zeus's love for his kids goes 55% Apollo, 30% Athena, 5% to Artemis, and 10% split in varying degrees between EVERYONE else.
Ares has like -2 points if we only look at his portrayal in the Illiad lol. The Athenian account of him in Myths is NOT kind to him, despite the fact that he's undoubtedly the most decent male Olympian (never raped women, a good father, surprisingly merciful to mortals who genuinely slight him if they manage to impress or best him, and he was the protector of the Amazon women). As funny as it is, while Ares might be Zeus's least-favorite kid, I'd imagine that despite the differences between the two, he'd be Athena's favorite brother.
#greek mythology#epic the musical#Athena#Zeus#Apollo#I also like to think that no one actually cares about Zeus's opinions on people#like oh Ares is your least favorite son? whatever you sociopathic narcissistic megalomanical rapist#vs Athena who EVERYONE values the opinion of#Everyone would be SO flummoxed to know that her favorite brother is Ares#especially Ares HIMSELF#meanwhile I'm sure Hera's proud that the only stepchild she actually likes also favors her beloved son

#9 What if...
Harumi took Lloyd's destiny, but Destiny didn't like that?
A LEGO Ninjago fanfic
Destiny holds its threads in a tight embrace. Weaving more colors into its grand tapestry while cutting frail strands mercilessly.
But even the dead strands remain, tucked into the corners of the weave because Destiny will never let go of its strings.
Even the smallest, least favored thread has its place. But don't fool yourself into thinking Destiny doesn't play favorites.
Destiny will always have its favorites after all.
Often people fool themselves into thinking Destiny favors them. Thinking they can demand destiny to let their wildest wishes come true.
Oh, how Destiny laughs at them. So foolish to think Destiny would possibly favor them!
Those who are favored by Destiny always know even if they wish to ignore the truth.
Destiny favors those destined for greatness. Even if greatness means anguish.
People, of course, then blame Destiny for their subpar lives, and their deaths.
Foolish they are to think Destiny would care. For all Destiny is possessive, as everything they live is theirs, so too are their deaths.
[Lest Destruction take them, but that’s off topic for today]
Destiny is but a guiding force. A gentle or iron hand is up to the individual.
People may think their paths are set in stone, but no. Their paths are set in pencil, and one's will marks their way in pen.
But Destiny never believed in equal lives and equal struggles. That would make their loom oh so boring, you see.
For gold will always be gold.
And you will always be less.
Still, you have the free will to think you can amount to more.
The will to live.
The will to act.
That is all up to you, my dear.
…
Oh, you think you're so special to be a favored of Destiny’s?
You truly believe you can mess with its tapestry so brazenly, and It will sit back?
…
Ha, Destiny will tear you apart my dear.
…
Power is always so enticing. A taste of the poison that has you addicted without a cure.
*Sigh* I guess you’ll have to learn the hard way.
…
You’ll learn how Destiny is something you’re born into.
No matter how much you strive and hunger, you will never be any better than the sewer rat in Destiny’s eyes.
You’ll never be those treasured threads that Destiny helped spin from Creation. The strings held so tightly and brightly on Its loom.
The strands that It'll never let Destruction take.
…
Now go. Foolishly try to prove you’re favored, you're loved, by dear Destiny.
But don’t say I didn’t warn you.
…
Bye-bye!
××××××××××
Harumi gathers a lot of power to change Destiny, so she is the green ninja adopted daughter of Garmadon, and Lloyd is the abandoned Jade Prince.
Lloyd doesn't know why everything always felt so wrong, like this itch in his body that never went away, but then he meets the ninja, he meets his dad (the good one), and he sees her — the once Jade Princess from his memories, now the green ninja. And he feels furious. Those powers are his birthright, as the grandson of the creator of Ninjago, a descendant of Creation and Destruction in Oni and Dragon ancestry. They will never be her’s, and she’ll soon learn what happens to mortals that play with powers beyond their control.
It’s why Destiny always favored Lloyd, and Harumi was a mere footnote to Destiny, a cockroach that didn’t like to die if you will. It’s Lloyd’s birth rite to be the Green Ninja, and it will never be Harumi’s try as she might to change her destiny.
And so, Lloyd will fight, his will strong and unmovable. He'll fight to save his and his families’ destinies before Harumi threatens the whole loom to collapse with her meddling.
In other words, this a role swap au that Destiny hates and will not allow, but that doesn't mean that It will do all the heavy lifting to get things back on track. No, that's the true Green Ninja's job.
First - Previous - Next "What if...?"

One thing that will forever bug me about Jiang Fengmian:
Why the hell didn't he just fence off an area of Lotus pier and keep Jiang Cheng's dogs there??? I'm pretty sure that manner is big enough you could set things up so wwx and the dogs never have to see each other and jc could still keep his puppies
#mdzs#jiang cheng#jiang fengmain critical#is it cuz he favored wwx over his own son? ya probably#usual disclaimer: no i am not blaming wwx for any of this#i understand this plot point as a reader but i dont understand it as a person#let jc have his dogs god damn it

the borgias truly went off in 2.10 'the confession'. specifically, where devastated rodrigo buries juan with his own hands, being intercut with everyone happy and celebrating lucrezia's betrothal, and being perfectly juxtaposed with dark and light. we get to see how rodrigo always saw juan while carrying his body (and that's probably how he sees all his children) as an innocent little kid instead of a broken soul. which was one of the most touching and well-crafted scenes that have ever aired on tv btw!! the whole sequence is also backed by a moving piece of tragic music that matches how guilty rodrigo feels about making the family hate juan by pressuring his inadequacy, making him full of misguided notions of defending the family's honor that led him to go wild. and setting him up to be envied by cesare. the murder made rodrigo reflect, and the viewers can tell that he has never told his eldest son that he sees himself when he looks at cesare, and that he has always held him in high regard but with a different dream and vision for him, despite cesare's wrong assumption that juan was rodrigo's favorite. and all because he always had a self-loath. to accept cesare as his favorite, he has to accept himself first. plus the cliffhanger? peak cinema imo.
#it's crazy how this episode and those sequences occupy my mind#cesare and juan are convinced that the other is somehow more favored and less deserving...#and each one is concerned that the others are getting something more and better....#and then there is rodrigo; a father who's sincerely and also misguidedly devoted to both his faith and his family#but he unintentionally fucked up his sons lives#rodrigo borgia#cesare borgia#juan borgia#the borgias meta#the borgias#text post
