“Question, what do you love your super for?”

TT!Robin: I love my super because of how he’s always there for me.

TTG!Robin: I love my super because he’s the best boyfriend I have!

YJ!Robin: I love my super for his determination to save others.

Injustice!Dick: I loved my husband, and always will for his kind soul.

The robins look at Nightwing concerned.

“You sound like he died—”

“He did.”

The robins:

I can't imagine Connor not rushing to Reader when they're giving birth. Or that he'd even miss it.

Like, imagine he's in a situation where he was originally being held hostage or something. But he hears Reader panicking and calling Alfred about them needing to get to the hospital for birth, and Connor turns into this machine of cold, calculative, determination. Uses every trick he's learned from the Bat Family under two different Robins. Just destroys all obstacles and threatens that he has to leave now. So either get out of his way or risk what it means when he doesn't care if you live or die. Breaks the sound barrier as he flies as fast as possible. Barely makes it in time to watch his baby being born and proceeds to allow himself to be used as a heating pad while guarding Reader and his new baby. While trying to do as much skin to skin contact as possible when Reader isn't holding them.

I don't think he'd allow Reader to go with the Bat Fam. Especially if it stresses Reader out.

But say he was off world for a quick mission again, and the baby was early? When he gets back, he's all confused as to why the Reader isn't at their apartment.

He then finds Reader, at the manor, crying from the stress of being a new mom while not even getting to use the baby things they picked! They're not in the nursery Connor painted for them! And the Bat Family won't. Leave. Them. Alone!!! They're going through heavy disassociation and depression. Cause being around all these people that they were sure hated them right before the baby was born? Makes Reader question if they only want them back because of the baby. It also makes Reader so broken.

How could they immediately love the baby, but couldn't ever bother with them?

Connor breaking the both out and flying back to the apartment.

This, this is getting too far ahead. But, it’s beautiful.

A fully yandere!Conner with a scared Reader that just had their newborn would be brutal and terrifying.

He wouldn’t kill anyone. That would just piss the family off more. But, they way he would cut ties with the family or anyone that sides with them would be done in such a cold buisness like manner, that they’d start doubting if they ever where actually friends with him.

Even Injustice!Superman had emotions.

But, Conner? That apathy is all Lex Luthor genetics shinning through. The part of him that makes it so easy to destroy those around him.

Though Conner is using it to defend his family, so he’s justified. But, it would be chilling.

Teammates would be paralyzed, and friendships shattered like some bones.

Do not fuck with his Reader or his child. And, God help you if you fuck with both of them.

As for the other part, I think that would make Reader have so many issues with motherhood if they were allowed to feel that way.

It’s so common for everyone to care about the baby and ask about the baby, when you’re basically at a physical low and exhausted.

I don’t think this would happen with Reader, thankfully. Being pregnant is a state that Reader was in to the family. A condition that bore results.

Some of the family, yes, would obsess with the baby right away. But, the big thing they the want is to watch Reader be themselves and a mother. They will ask, “Are you okay?” “Do you need something?” “Can I get you something?”

Those mommy issues are what’s triggering some of the absolute worst of their yandere tendencies. Anyone that intervenes on Reader being a mother to their child are a villain in the family’s eyes.

In his quest to be the most annoying brother ever, Jason realizes there are a lot more vigilantes in Gotham meaning a lot more people he can steal their costume and impersonate as.

Steph and Cass "borrowed" his motorcycle for a date. He's always wanted to be Batgirl, and he's got three iterations to choose from.

Tim stealing the last of the dessert. The original Red Robin is back in town.

Duke thinks he safe during the day but then news of another Signal, who doesn't even have the same powers as him, is running around town.

Dick can only be somewhat grateful because he isn't murdering people as them, but Damian is worried he's next.

Context: Jason dresses up as Robin in Teen Titans #29, as Nightwing in Nightwing #118-122, and Batman in Battle for the Cowl + Injustice. Red Robin was given to him by alternate universe Batman in Countdown to Final Crisis #14.

giggling—

chances that your vigilante persona would be stolen by Jason Todd is not low. definitely not zero. beware.

imagine if Bruce uses this to manipulate kids, lmao. and Jason hates to accommodate his father, but his role as the annoying brother is more important than any beef with his father. if he gotta be a material for manipulation just to make everyone miserable... well, the crown fits.

Bruce: Tim—

Tim: no, stop. i am doing what i want, and you cannot control me, i—

Bruce: you know, i have a Red Robin suit made just for Jason. i think he would love to try it on.

Tim, gulping: that's low. even for you.

Bruce: but it works.

Bruce: you still need to apologise to that kid from your school. you both made a mistake. once he apologises before you, you do that too, alright?

Damian: no.

Bruce, sighing: well. alright.

Bruce: JASON

Damian, panicking: FINE, FINE. DON'T CALL TODD.

Duke, storming inside the Cave: hey, B, what the fuck did i do???

Bruce: hm?

Duke: why Jason is pretending to be Signal.

Bruce, frowning:

Bruce: ...oh

Bruce: i think i was sleepy and mixed up Dick's name with yours when i was complaining to Jason.

Duke: MAN

Dick, sitting next to him: wait WHAT

Steph, sighing: you know, i think someone needs to explain Jason that there is such a wonderful thing as a cosplay...

Cass: you want to?

Steph: uh, no. that's fucking fun. you?

Cass: no. that's really amusing.

Steph: btw woke up today after a nightmare that i was B's Robin again... think we can ask Jason to pose as Batman any time soon?

Cass: sure.

[fancyfeathers]

(Okay, this might be a stupid idea, but is based on my first thought when I played Injustice 2)

Songbird and Injustice! Damian's first meeting.

Songbird: "Damian, is that you?"

Damian: "That's right, it's me. Surprised?"

Songbird: "No way, it can't be..."

Damian: "Why is it surprising? My superior strenght? My better lineage?"

Songbird: "You're white."

Damian: ".......what"

Songbird: "Why are you white? How can you be white? Where did your melanin go? Where are the Al-Ghul's genes? Damian Wayne can't be white."

Damian: "I-"

Songbird: "Are you even Talia's son in this universe?"

Burn It All Down

Injustice AU

I am laughing so hard, I can’t breathe, especially when I write Songbird in my head I imagine her as half Singaporean, but that’s just me and her race remains up to the reader.

But for the sake of this ask, let’s say she is Singaporean because I think that will be so much for funny for the context of this.

Like it is the heat of battle and Damian encounters Songbird from another universe helping the Insurgency and keep in mind in this universe, Damian and Songbird have never met, her mother never married Bruce and she raised their daughter on her own, but Songbird definitely knows Damian. So Damian just sees this girl staring at him who somehow knows his name and he thinks that she is probably the next Robin or Batgirl replacement but she just looks horribly confused and just…

She calls him white.

Why is this random girl calling him white in the middle of the fight. But it is only afterwards he realizes who she is, his sister from another universe. Ya that makes sense from how she talked to him and not to mention how she beat him up after she found out he killed Dick Grayson, it was fucking brutal.

[duskdawnallen]

okok drop songs that make u think of each batkid..... heheeheheh

omg okay omg so this. because i love. (i definitely do not have playlists for all the batkids) i know theres more batkids but the ones ive done are the only ones that i’m familiar with :,(

And that’s that!! This one was really fun, thank you pookie <33

im going to do bruce too because i want to and i can!

okay so this yes but also like imagine it with him to his kids (mostly jason but yk)

this also too, hear me out

also this omg

next up is dick

this is more like him as robin trying to fit in after leaving the circus you know?

im a strong believer of this one

this could for all the batkids but i like it being for dick the most since hes been doing it the longest yk

okay jason

self explanatory i hope

i really really like this one for jason too

this one might be a little silly but yk

tim time (hes a little tricky but i got there in the end)

apollo stop using musical numbers for the songs challenge go!

hear me out

mostly 90’s tim tbh

steph <33

yes, just yes

i was going to put this for cass but it’d fit both in different contexts

90’s steph? or at least the steph in tim’s robin run

cass

i feel like this is SO cass coded

also this one, you know??

this one is the same as steph but because she’s the perfect next batman so yeah

duke is a little bit difficult because ive read like 2 of his comics idk

i can see this one??

the whole we are robin arc

i also think this one

damian, fun fact the two physical copies of comics i have are both damian centred

this one is very damian coded but also idk if you know her, athanasia al ghul from injustice too

post damian leaving the league

okok this one? i feel like it fits, i can’t explain

maps - im not too familiar with her but ive read some comics to make a judgement of songs

this one heavily reminds me of her

also this one

this one might be because i saw a maps edit to this song but i also think its very her coded

lance, okay so hes not as well known and iirc hes been erased from canon and such, plus the fact he died in the same issue he appeared in but i love him

this one is SO him coded, trust him

this but lance is the lemon boy

this because he died in bruce’s arms

[frownyalfred]

Been reading Dimension Travel fics...

And thinking about a cross between BvS Bruce and the Comics version (I like WFA, but if not that, pick any comics version where Bruce is an-at-least-half-way-decent dad and the Batfam is more or less together).

Thinking about how Dick Grayson is BvS Bruce's Dead Robin.

Dick Grayson, who, canonically is Clark's honorary nephew and Jon's mentor/big brother.

Imagining what would have happened if Nightwing, due to interdimensional shenanigans, ended up in BvS timeline...

Or BvS Bruce ending up in the other universe and seeing Dick - Nightwing - as the leader of Titans, one of the most beloved heroes ever...and seeing the rest of his family, the family he never got to have, lost in grief for his first son...

I think giving Dick a Injustice-esque moment by shuttling him in from another dimension to challenge Bruce right before he tried to kill Clark via Kryptonite spear would have been very entertaining. Sure, Bruce's Robin is dead, but this man is almost the same in so many ways. And he's sticking himself right in between Batman and Superman without concern for his own safety, squaring off with Bruce like he does it every week (he does, in his universe).

I imagine there'd be a lot of breaking down in that Bruce's future. And Dick would be gracious enough to stay long enough to talk him through the whole "yeah you tried to kill Superman, that wasn't really cool but I kinda get why you did it" thing.

[alittlesongbirdchirps]

I just Rewatched Meet Joe Black.

So here’s an AU idea called Meet Bruce Wayne.

(If you haven't seen it the angel of death possesses the body of a man played by Brad Pitt who gets hit by a car.)

So instead of that imagine, it happens in the alleyway, Bruce was injured/killed along with his parents, and in that brief moment, the angel of death possesses his body/corpse.

Similar to the movie, he tells Alfred who he is and what happened to the body's owner.

Alfred of course feels despair, all the Wayne's are dead and some entity claiming to be the angel of death is possessing the young master's body.

It starts rough between the two, but the angel tells Alfred why he's doing this, and it’s the most ridiculous reason: He's taking a break, a holiday, and he needs a guide to help him understand the human perspective.

Alfred at first doesn't trust this entity and carefully ask

“For how long."

The being wearing Bruce's body stares blankly

"Until your time has come."

That sends a shiver up the butler's spine.

However, in the first few years, it felt like Alfred was raising a toddler, thankfully the media made their own conclusion about Bruce's sudden change in behaviour.

'Age regression as a result of trauma?'

The entity has taken Bruce’s name, Alfred doesn’t say anything about that nor does he care to ask if the thing had an actual name before.

And the longer he’s on earth, the more he begins to see the injustices in the world, yet he is uncertain what to do about them.

Until, some old novels, comics, and movies inspired him to become Batman. It follows canon pretty closely after that. (Well my interpretation of canon.)

(Ooo, also he's very awkward, he's still adjusting to being human.

So many emotions, thoughts and other things.)

When he first took Dick in, it was more like instincts.

He knows that the boy was supposed to die tonight instead of his parents, and he knows he would have taken the boy instead of them. So in a way he still does that, by taking him in as his ward.

Alfred scolds him, because what does a creature of death know anything about taking care of a child?

(Also, all the children he ends up adopting were all supposed to die the night he meets them, if Bruce didn't show up to the circus and talk to dick before the show he would have died.

If Jason hadn't taken the wheels of the Batmobile he would have taken them off the jokers unknowingly, and be killed.

If Tim never offered to become robin he would have been mugged and murdered, Cass would have died on the streets from an illness, and so on.)

(Also, Damien doesn't have any angelic blood in him, though Bruce and Talia did have a thing, Damien wasn't a result of that but Ra's stealing Bruce's DNA, since he figured out what Bruce is and thought making an immortal body in a sense.)

(Also, as I stated not edited. It’s late here.)

The Batpoors: Bruce, Alfred and the Boys. Introduction.

"In a world darkened by corruption, crime and villains with postgraduate degrees, a figure who watches from the shadows is in charge of bringing them to justice and marking terror in their lives...

-Master Bruce, I think you should get rid of this cape, last time the police mistook you for a beggar."

Several decades ago, the Wayne family had prestige, a fortune built on excellent real estate management; Thomas Wayne was a respected doctor and his wife was a lady of society. They were returning from the cinema with their son Bruce when fate played their cards against them and, not having a will ready to protect the little boy, some relatives and partners took advantage of the situation to fill their pockets and leave the boy and his butler on the street.

With this change of circumstances, Alfred Pennyworth did his part to protect Bruce, helping him with his studies and teaching him to defend himself, to respect life and appreciate art, among other things. But he could not get the little boy to forget the pain for the loss of his parents and the injustice, not only the one that was committed against him, but the one that affected hundreds, if not thousands of people. Someone had to do something.

And there they were, in a small food local store during the day and in the evening, pretending to be ordinary people that nobody would think that at night, without exception, they were the vigilantes who were in charge of facing crime and saving the poor citizens of Gotham City, even if they didn't want to.

-Good afternoon! -Depending on the hour rather, it was common for anyone who entered the door of the small restaurant to be received with a very cheerful tone and a big smile from the oldest of the young people who were under the care of Bruce Wayne. And that his name was Richard John "Dick" Grayson. -How can I help you?

And what many people couldn't imagine was that this young adult with black hair, blue eyes, naturally flirtatious and with a pleasant appearance, was Nightwing himself who served them in person. But what they didn't know wasn't going to hurt them, right? Mainly if some other criminal or goons stayed to see in the restaurant to plan the robbery, coup or crime that they would carry out in hours or days. It was not for nothing that there were microphones hidden under the tables or chairs.

Timothy Jackson Drake, or Tim as the others called him, was a boy with blue eyes and black hair, who if you saw him for the first time or the umpteenth time, you would think that the boy had not been fed well in his entire life, that he required special ... care and cut his daily supply of coffee at least in half, which he wouldn't even do it if his life depended on it. A lot of people liked him because he knew how to get along with others, except for a couple of acquaintances of course. The boy came into the life of Bruce and company thanks to a flyer from the restaurant, which he found lying in several of the scenes where there were sightings of the bat and Robin, discovering their identities by going to the food place one afternoon and confirming it with his own eyes. Bruce agreed to integrate him into both his life and his night job to prevent him from going public with his discovery while serving him a strawberry shortcake and a chocolate milkshake.

Jason Peter Todd was the second of the boys to take refuge under the bat's wings. His short, sometimes on-and-off criminal career worried Bruce so much that he decided to turn him into Robin, thinking it would help set him on the right track. Which was not fully achieved after he was left in a coma from a beating, trying to do things on his own, being prohibited from acting on his own. His personality changed a lot after waking up in the hospital, and realizing that Bruce had not only integrated Drake as the new Robin, but he also turned down the opportunity to get his hands on the boy's fortune, just because he said his money wasn't something he had to handle.

- What a fool. -Thought Todd as he cleaned the floor that he had dirty without letting go of the soda that hadn't finished yet. -Uh?

Damian Thomas Wayne Al Ghul's presence came as a surprise not only to Bruce, but to everyone who knew him. No one could explain it, least of all him, as the 10 years old boy appeared in the restaurant kitchen from one day to the next saying, and confirmed by his mother, that he did not expect his father to not be as tall as he thought, as well as learn about their socio-economic level. Luckily, Alfred made it out of his sleeve that the child's conception possibly occurred during a "vacation" Bruce took a while back.

Talia Al Ghul almost had a fainting fit when she saw that her Beloved was not what she thought he was. Although almost immediately after, to the date, she proposed to him to give him an infinity of riches that no other man could dream of in exchange for him marrying her. Jason to this day still thinks that Bruce should accept, or at least be his "Sugar Baby"

Seriously, Jason.

But back to Damian, the boy with brown skin, black hair and green eyes had a couple of ... difficult days to adjust to what would be his new ... life. Actually, he's still struggling a bit to transition from a life as the heir to the League of Assassins to ... a life as the son of the Night's Vigilant, who sometimes has nowhere to drop dead. At least from day one, he secured his place as the King of the Playground of the public school he currently attends.

[cyb-by-lang]

Given your recent focus on Batman crosses, have you ever given thought to inserting Kei into other iterations beyond BTAS? I imagine Adam West Batman might be a bit campy compared to Kei’s typical attitude to sustain beyond a oneshot, and without the Robins Bale’s Batman might not be particularly enticing. And the whole Death Metal negative multiverse would be pretty miserable overall. Injustice would be similarly grim. I guess there’s always Young Justice? Or Injustice

I've thought about Young Justice before but, well, the later seasons sort of narrowed any interest I had. Just how it is sometimes.

percy jackson and the olympians tv show episode 2 thoughts

again, just copying my original thoughts from last week 😭😭 lots of rambling, screaming, and general freaking out ahead!

Literally the whole first part of the episode I was sitting on the edge of my seat wondering “is annabeth going to say it? is she going to say percabeth’s iconic line?? I will be so incredibly disappointed if she doesn’t” and then SHE SAID IT SHE SAID IT OMG I LOVE HER and Percy’s reaction lol “huh?”

dude Dionysus is actually perfect “PETER JOHNSON IS HERE” man I am so looking forward to all of their banter

uhhh not me saying chiron’s name wrong for five plus years now and only now finding out it’s KYron and not CHEEron *sobs*

the whole thing with mr d saying he’s Percy’s dad was so funny I was cackling the whole time lol and not Percy ACTUALLY believing him and then Chiron shows up and it’s like “uh wait a minute hold on”

okay it is totally weird realizing that none of these people know who Percy’s dad is or what he can do but everyone watching (or mostly everyone I’ll say) does UGH I FEEL OLD

the music growing scarier as Luke approaches ACK FORESHADOWING he’s kinda cute tho I love his hair

i absolute adore how they made Percy mad about the injustice of the unclaimed at this young age not just as a fifteen year old and I freaking LOVE that for him

Clarisse is amazing, perfect, and gorgeous in every single way

DEMIGOD IN A WHEELCHAIR ALERT 🚨

“is there a greek god of disappointment? maybe someone should ask him if he’s missing a kid” dude I feel bad but the way I lost my mind - walker’s comedic timing and inflection was on point

AND THE FACT THIS GUY HAS AN ANSWER BAHAHAH

OMG WAIT THATS CHRIS AS IN… CHRIS CHRIS??? CLARISSE’S CHRIS??? CHRISTOPHER FREAKING RODRIGUEZ?? AHHHHH

percy is breaking my heart bro praying to his momma and everything it’s ok honey

YES THE BATHROOM SCENE that was lowkey kind of anticlimactic…

ANNABETH YAY

the fact that she just calmly admitted she’s stalking Percy and he’s just like “okay” onto the next thing lmao

was it just me pronouncing Thalia’s name like TAlka and not THAlia like how it’s spelled *sobs* I am really bad at this apparently

luke is making it really hard for me to remember he’s a bad guy, he’s so charming and sweet!

YES CAPTURE THE FRICKIN FLAG LESGOOOO

”sunshine” IS SO CUTE I CANT IM FANGIRLING Annabeth is everything I ever imagined her to be

NOT PERCY FLOSSING OH MY

AND SINGING ROBIN HOOD AND LITTLE JOHN RUNNIN THRU THE FOREST OR WTV HES PERFECT I CANT

percys battle instincts are JAW DROPPING that fight scene was perfect

dude that claiming! Honestly didn’t picture the trident being so big but I think it kind of fits, bc how else is everyone 20 feet away gonna see it?

percy being so confuzzled when Mr d tells him he stole the master bolt is so funny “wHaT?!”

WHERE IS THE ORACLE BRUH

final thoughts: okay, that episode was PHENOMENAL! Camp half blood is absolutely gorgeous, the capture the flag scenes were perfect. Walker is crushing it as Percy and that was genius casting and I will say that till the day I die. I cannot wait for the third episode! my only complaint is, where’s the Oracle?? I genuinely want to hear the prophecy! because if she’s not here now then how’s Rachel gonna become the next oracle? I will hyperventilate bc perachel was so good for percabeth’s growth hahaha. I really really hope she’s in the next episode! I guess we’ll see!

haha thanks for reading my chaotic notes

[pearlypairings]

I am contractually obligated to inquire about show me 2 but if I may be greedy I would also like to know about Robin Hood au and rustless heart 💕

as per our contract's agreements😏..... a juicy (unedited) snippet from show me where it hurts chapter 2:

The room smelled like a ship’s airlock, empty, mechanical, and with a strange stale odor from interacting with open space. Trip woke with a start, bounding upright and searching the cell for the subcommander. “T’pol!” he maneuvered into a low crouching position very fast, ignoring the stabbing pains of his sides. “T’pol?” He appeared alone in this barred room, lights still burning into his retinas and the cold piercing into his bones. She was gone without a trace. This was all his fault, they never should have trusted Salz’ta-por. Trip should have made her leave him behind. “Where is she?” Trip growled, hardly recognizing the sound of his own voice cloaked in fury. Where—is—-she!” The fear and anger overtook him, and he stood up, yelling around the room at nothing in particular. They had to be watching them somehow. So he screamed up at the ceiling, he banged around the bars of the cell, and he pounded on the floor to get their attention. If his ribs hadn’t been fully fractured before, they were now as they throbbed and prodded at the edge of his breath.

And ah fun! I know it's a different fandom than your usual, but for the robinhood au, I'm obsessed with this rarepair that consisted of Steve, popular, reformed jock, labrador retriever kind of guy, and Kali, a rough and tumble, punk girl from the original canon. In a robinhood/ period piece setting, I imagine Steve would be the sole heir to a noble family who desperately wants him to marry and consolidate their money/standing with another noble family. Where as Kali would be leading a band of street urchin orphans who rob from the rich and disperse to the needy. She'd attempt to rob Steve's family during a gala event and learns that he'd not exactly as careless and evil as she thought he'd be.....

rustless heart! my beloved <3 again stranger things rarepair for eddie and chrissy, but with a Polish fairytale twist :) (the original folklore ref). I'm rewriting and adding a ton more plot since the original is a bit...basic, but has an interesting enough premise. I've adapted their names to be a bit more Polish-influenced and I want it to be more of a love letter to my roots :) a snippet below:

Drenched in a stunning red-orange radiance, a majestic eagle, closing its wide wingspan, plunged into the river with a violent splash. A shrill, desperate wail echoed in response as the unfortunate victim was ensnared by its razor-sharp talons. In the midst of the struggle, the prince recognized the long brown legs and the elegant plumage of the prey as belonging to a grey heron.  Something pulled at the prince, a deep sorrow and sense of injustice incensed his beating heart. His servant Creel watched with bated breath, his features perked with morbid curiosity rather than shock or horror. Creel pet the mane of his mare, undisturbed. Edek told him to stand-by, while his heel dug deep into Ogień’s side, spurring him forward into the chaotic scene.

thank you for all the questions I love reflecting on my wips and realizing how much I really have going on at the same time. Juggling is my new talent lol!

“I loved you like the sun….” Kole says softly, to the deceased body of his soulmate. His tears running down his face as Damian tries to say sorry over and over again. Dick is shocked at their younger sibling taking the hit for him. Batman is frozen, everyone has stopped as the young teen is bleeding out of their head rapidly. It was already too late at the blunt force. Kole’s fiery hair started to deflate, not wanting to move by his lover, he stays. No matter how much someone tries to shove him off.

He wants to die by their side and be by their side for an eternity 

(Yes this takes place in the injustice world lol)

info: dc oc, adoptive son of Kory. Dick is not in a relationship with her but Barbra (sorry!) batsib!reader and Kole aka Koldond’r are the batstar of this relationship in this world.

[taywans]

as a person who grew up in hk, studied in britain (not oxford, unfortunately, i cant flex that) and is still experiencing the effects of british colonialism to date, babel was the perfect piece of fantasy / alt historical fiction that i could have dived into this week. truly the most well-deserved hate wank fiction i've ever read about bigotry.

icb stumbled into this book blind, didn't read the blurb properly or anything, just knew it would be good based off the ratings and hype. imagine my surprise when i figured that it was set in canton? and mentions the opium war within the first chapter? that shit got me hooked so fast. and then, all the interspersed references to idioms + hanzi radicals were so satisfying. robin explaining the word dan4 / 旦 to ravy against the backdrop of sunset is just. <3 my heart cannot take it. my only gripe is not hearing robin speaking in canto when he was in canton ( guess they couldn't be bothered to engage a cantonese speaker for the audiobook .... @ audible . lol )

also r f kuang out here doing gods work. like what do you mean this isn't a way to raise awareness in european cultures about the injustices that have been wrought upon colonies. :))) because lbr no average person will pick up a history book on the opium war where it doesn't concern them. repackaging it into internationally-parseable fiction tho ??? best way of getting people interested and talking about history. 10/10.

[melonteee]

I can't tell if i'm imagining it bc i'm already bothered by some of the LA characterization or if it's genuinely the case that they for some reason have Luffy speaking for other characters a lot in the LA??? Like with Koby in ep1, or to Zeff about Sanji in one of the eps during baratie and it just

don't feel right

You've noticed right because I picked up the same thing. Luffy is meant to encourage those around him, not speak FOR them LMAO. There's a reason in Water 7 he yells "Robin, say you want to live!" instead of "ROBIN WANTS TO LIVE!! LEAVE HER ALONE!!" lmao like...Koby not getting that moment of standing up for himself against Alvida due to Luffy's inspiration was so wasted, and Luffy standing up for SANJI was honestly so damn annoying when SANJI...CAN HOLD HIS OWN?? He's LITERALLY meant to be a hot tempered brat who PICKS THE FIGHTS?? Like this relationship between Sanji and Zeff is something that Luffy is meant to be observing, not meddling in. There's literally a scene in the original where Zeff says some rude things and Sanji gets angry and PICKS A FIGHT, and ofc Zeff kicks the shit out of him in front of Luffy AND all the Strawhats, BUT LUFFY JUST WATCHED AND WENT "HEY THAT'S GREAT, NOW YOU CAN JOIN MY CREW" LMAO

Instead Sanji gets turned into this sad little art student who can't yell back at daddy so Luffy yells at Zeff FOR him like?? LMAO?? IS THIS LUFFY AND SANJI AT ALL?? Again it's just changes being made to hammer in the fact Luffy is SUCH a good guy we need to be TOLD he just won't stand for injustice!! Or whatever the hell good guy crusade it is that they're going for here. It's like they white knighted Luffy's character it is SO weird.

[fancyfeathers]

I'm just imagining the incredible, awesome epic fights there could be between the gang and the Injustice universe (and ofc, the yandereism because their parents now refuse to let their kids go, specially since some are dead in their universe). Like, Supergirl squaring up against her evil dad, Huntian fighting against a version of the woman who taught him everything, Blue Lantern suddenly remembering what she learnt from Saint Walker and recovering her hope to fight off the Yellow Lantern Hal and beating him. Songbird having to deal with Robin and beating his ass (please it would be therapeutic for her)

This can go two ways: They're now trapped there because people like Black Canary are too traumatised to lost her son again, despite knowing that Apollo it's not really hers...or them suddenly showing up in the original universe and meeting their Darlings, trying to replace the versions of themselves from that world to stay.

Burn It All Down

Injustice AU

Oh my god, that one scene with Kara and Clark in the second Injustice game, she is so betrayed and horrified that when she sees the truth of what is happening in this world, because her mother would have nothing wanted this, just because she is dead doesn’t mean this is right. Even though she doesn’t get along with her dad from her universe, he would still never fall to that extreme. She can’t even look him in the eye, especially when she sees Superman kill Billy Batson, he was just a kid. Though she would never win against Superman, she may have all her Kryptonian powers but her human DNA weakens her powers, she can bend steel but she can’t beat the man of steel. In this universe Clark has lost everything, he never got that perfect life that she was raised in, he didn’t get to raise his universe’s version of her, no that was taken from her when her mother ended up dead when she was pregnant with her because of the Joker. She could be his second chance, they all could, never mind that she come two decades late than she should have.

“No…no how could you?! Mom… she would have never of wanted this!”

Songbird is a little upset that she has to work with how father in the Insurgency when they get stuck in this alternate universe, she honestly has no idea how to feel about this and that is strange since Songbird almost always has something to say, she’s normally the smartest person in the room and she has never felt more clueless besides the fact that she is anger, so incredibly angry that a word like this could possibly exist, a world worse than the one she came from. Oh then when Songbird finds out about what happened to Dick Grayson, she is ready to kill. She never got along perfectly with Dick but he never deserved to die so when she sees Damian wearing his suit she is about ready to bash his skull in and she would have if she didn’t inherit her father’s no killing rule, so instead Damian ends up with a fractured skull, arms with compound fractures, and a number of broken ribs. She walks away like nothing happened, guess that’s just what happens when you lead a team of superpowered runaways for years.

“I’ll be sure to tell my universe’s Nightwing to steer clear of you… deranged little brat.”

Blue Lantern ends up the worst out of all of them, in this universe she died in the early days of the Regime, in this universe she never even became Blue Lantern. Then her twin brother went to join the Insurgency with his skills as a hacker and programmer because he knew his sister would have never stood for something like this, but this only ends up with him getting captured by the Regime and he gets locked up instead of killing him in hopes of rehabilitating him since Hal cannot loose another child. Then Blue Lantern and the others get pulled into this universe and something just breaks in her when she sees Hal wearing a yellow lantern ring, even if she has had her problems with her universe’s Hal she knows he would never turn to fear. It gets to bad that she looses hope, and she looses her power, she looses their first fight, her power ring dying on her, and then her face is revealed and Hal just stops, it’s her, his little girl that he lost. She gets captured first out of her team, locked up but she is not treated like a prisoner, a nice room, actually good food though it is slightly drugged, clothes that she actually likes they belonged to this universe’s version of her. Then this world’s Hal comes to visit her everyday, though she doesn’t talk to him, lost in the endless sea of depression that masks her hope that is buried deep down. It is only when Hal asks her about the other ring on her finger that she remembers what truly brings her hope and what she needs to get back to…

“In fearful day, in raging night…”

“Did you say something?”

“I said, In fearful day, in raging night, With strong hearts full, our souls ignite, When all seems lost in the War of Light, Look to the stars, for hope burns bright! So fuck off poser!”

Apollo, he has a hard time here, not only did Oliver die in this universe but so did he. He feels so conflicted about what he should do, he wants to help, but he already died in this universe, what if he dies again? What will happen to Blitz? He is more hesitant than usual, having to distant himself from his team while he gets his head on straight, but the person who gets it back on probably is Huntian, and that should be taken quite literally. Huntian slaps Apollo across the face and yells at him to get his head on straight since there are people dying in this universe, being controlled when they should have their freedom and Apollo became a hero to prevent what happened to his mother from ever happening again so he better pick up that damn bow and shoot straight. Though it doesn’t take long for Huntian to get captured either, getting caught when trying to save Blue Lantern and locked up beside her, but his ancient weapons and skills certainly get noticed, especially by Diana. In this universe, Huntian’s family never died and he is just some law student in Maine, but this version of him is promising, Diana asks him to join the Regime since he was raised by the Amazons and could help keep order and control, but that is not what he believe in whatsoever, he believes in protecting and caring as that is what a true leader will be remembered for at the end of the day and because of his actions in the past people will help him in the future meanwhile everyone will turn their backs on Diana in the end. Then just to prove him correct, Apollo is the one who saves Huntian, shooting Diana in the shoulder and knocking him out with his bow.

“What took you so long, sunny boy?”

“Nice to see you’re still alive, King of Ithaca.”

“…shut up.”

Young justice robin

As a Batman fan originally, anytime a gotham villain shows up in young justice all I can think about is how Robin feels interacting with the people who he's been fighting a large part of his life. Obviously he's used to them, but at the same time now he has people who's not used to them watching and helping.

I imagine it feels like your friends from one school meet friends from another.

And obviously at this point Jason wasn't even Robin yet, but during the battle with the Injustice League in season one we hear joker make some comments about always wanting to tear up a robin.

I HC that dick has almost every major battle locked away in his mind, including that one. So when Jason is killed those comments replay on his mind in a way blaming himself.
