and hey, RACHEL was kind of a lame friend for listening to all of Anna's bogus stories for so long before finally opening her eyes, like girl should've seen what was going on after Morocco dropped her sooner! a sane person would've bailed after the first few obvious lies. I know she got manipulated but come on, use that brain a little! also she acted like such a wannabe "cool girl" trying to be BFFs with fancy fraudsters when we all know she's basic af from ohio or wherever. cringed seeing her constantly fangirling over the lies just because she thought it made her seem ~edgy~ and ~cultured~. major side-eye to that pick-me behavior if we're keeping it a buck fifty.

FIRST DANCE SONGS

DC various x Reader

Just some of my favs and what I think their first dances at their wedding would be like. What song they would choose, if they’d cry or not, etc.

Reader is gender neutral.

Contains: wedding dances, romantic relationship between character and reader, a shit ton of fluffy mushy thoughts, DC men are allowed to cry because yes.

Clark Kent — Easy choice; Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley. I can imagine this song being Jonathan and Martha Kent’s song when they got married. He has a 60% chance of crying; 70% if he catches a glimpse of Ma and Pa holding hands, softly singing the lyrics to each other. There’s also a game that wedding DJs will sometimes do to see which guests have been married the longest (if you aren’t familiar, they’ll call up all of the married guests to dance, and they’ll periodically say, “if you’ve been married for X amount of years, sit down.”), so I can imagine At Last by Etta James beginning to play after your first dance, and you and Clark would be smiling as you watch the last couple standing; Jonathan and Martha Kent.

Bruce Wayne — Just Breathe by Pearl Jam, and he’s 100% crying. That’s what happens when you make eye contact with a misty-eyed Alfred. He wouldn’t do any fancy spinning or dipping with you because he’s too busy holding you close (both to hide the fact that he’s crying and because he never wants to let go). Other songs that may start playing afterwards range from Check Yes, Juliet by We The Kings and Super Bass by Nicki Minaj (a surprise for the both of you). Also, a picture of your first dance may or may not end up on the cover of some tabloid magazine, despite any of your efforts to keep your wedding from the public’s eye.

Hal Jordan — No one was surprised to hear Stand By Me by Ben E. King start playing for your first dance. However, what they were surprised by was how watery Hal’s eyes were. He has a 50% chance of crying during your first dance, though he’d cover it up by laughing as he let you goofily twirl him around. The last minute or so would just be you two with your arms around each other, foreheads touching, eyes filled with love and adoration for each other… and then the beginning of Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey would cause you two to collapse into each other with fond laughter. Expect to see Hal absolutely shred the air guitar.

Dick Grayson — You’d probably have to get through a few ABBA songs before your first dance (because Dick is The Dancing Queen™), but it’s worth it when All of Me by John Legend starts up. I’d love to think that the two of you have slow-danced to this song under the stars as a date, so of course you two would agree on this song. Has a 75% chance of crying (despite crying earlier during the actual ceremony) because you’re just so stunning to him while you sway in each other’s arms. He’d probably want a more upbeat song to play afterwards, like La Da Dee by Cody Simpson or Sugar by Maroon 5, and he’ll absolutely dramatically sing the lyrics to you.

Jason Todd — A lot about your wedding may differ depending on if Jason is comfortable with an actual ceremony or not, but one thing that stays consistent is Falling Like the Stars by James Arthur as your first dance song. He’d probably have a 30% chance of crying in front of other people, but if your wedding something more private, that number easily spikes up to 80%. Be prepared to be held tight against him. Heck, he might not let you go even after the song ends. If you have a traditional wedding, he’d have an arm around you as the two of you sit down and watch everyone else dance to Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen.

Tim Drake — I can see First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes being your song. Tim’s not exactly a dancer, so it may be the two of you just swaying back and forth, but he’d gladly let a spin or two happen if it makes your face light up. The odds of him crying are pretty low at 25%, meaning the most you’ll probably see is the slightest shimmer in his eyes (but Cassie, Bart, Kon, and Dick are 100% in shambles as you two dance). He’ll stare at you with complete adoration, contempt with just being with you, along with a giant smile gracing his lips for the duration of your dance. Something punk-rock/emo like Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down by Fallout Boy has to be the follow-up song. I don’t make the rules.

Wally West — Because I imagine your first date being a Disney movie marathon, Can You Feel the Love Tonight by Elton John fits perfectly. He’d probably hum the melody while bringing your foreheads together, eyes sparkling if you hum along with him. Be prepared to be twirled or dipped unexpectedly (he loves catching you by surprise). I’d say there’s a 50% chance of him crying, since he might be able to hold it together until something preppier plays like Shut Up and Dance by WALK THE MOON (and yes, much like Dick, he’ll dramatically sing the lyrics to you). You two will do so many goofy dance moves together, I can guarantee it.

Victor Stone — “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is an underrated movie date idea, which is why I declare your first dance song to be Moon River by Audrey Hepburn. Slow dancing with Vic is so soft; he’ll gently sway with you and hold you so delicately. Not a big crier, so you’re at a 40% chance of that, but it’ll easily jump up to 60% if you rest your head against his shoulder or chest. Afterwards, I can totally see something like Without You by David Guetta playing. The energy on the dance floor would go from 0 to 100 when the chorus hits, everyone jumping on the dance floor like it’s a concert, while you and Vic spin each other around with warm laughter.

Kara Danvers — A few Taylor Swift and Kelly Clarkson songs later, you’d find yourselves dancing to Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers. It’s a classic, and I can totally see you two having your first kiss at an ice cream parlor with this playing in the background. I’d say there’s a 45% chance of you seeing happy tears in Kara’s eyes. There’d be a big smile on her face as she let you spin her, your arms wrapping around each other. And of course Teenage Dream by Katy Perry plays afterwards. Clark will come up to you two with a teary congratulations, and you’ll start doing a goofy three-way dance, and that somehow evolves into a giant conga line with Clark in the lead.

Jaime Reyes — I have this feeling that Jaime gets really insecure about himself, so Corazón Sin Cara by Prince Royce is the natural choice. It’s a reminder that you’ll love him as he is, just as he’ll love you as you are. While there’s a 60% of him full-on crying, there’s a 100% chance of him getting teary-eyed at the lyric, “solo sé que yo te quiero así” (I only know that I love you like this). He’s big on hand holding — he loves to rub his thumb over the back of your hand — so he’ll have at least one of your hands in his through the entire dance. After Royce fades out, I can see either Kiss You by One Direction playing, or Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley (you both forgot about the conversation you had about how funny Rick Rolling your guests would be… effectively Rick Rolling yourselves).

Zatanna Zatara — Like I’m Gonna Loose You by Meghan Trainor has that swing sound that Zee loves to dance to. She’d get a little playful with dips and spins, but that’s only to cover up the fact that she’s at a 75% of crying; you can tell by her breathy chuckles as she rests her head against your shoulder. I think it would be really cute if she did a spell to make the air sparkle like fireflies around you two near the beginning of the song. And she’ll definitely whisper an I love you backwards to you, something I’m sure you’d be familiar with in your relationship. Also, Magic by B.o.B was suggested by you as a joke, but Zatanna was like, “that’s actually so good,” so that’s the song playing afterwards. Whoops.

Keep in mind, Monika, that this is a VERY small sample size of what our world--indeed, my native nation in the United States--has had to deal with over time. This is just some of the stuff we humans in this universe have been able to capture on live film or tape, and we've been around for MILLIONS of years.

If you STILL feel brave enough to want to traverse this world, well...there's not much I or anyone else could probably do to stop you. But you deserve to know the truth--what it was you were ACTUALLY driven to kill the other club members for.

If you need some time alone to reflect and gather yourself, I understand. If you need someone to talk to, I get that too, and I'm here if you need me.

Take care and be good to yourself--and the other club members. <3

The man of a better tomorrow au will be set in the late 60s

It will see Superman in a world full of injustice and prejudice but also a world that began to fight against it

A big inspiration of Superman in this is the song "If I can dream" by Elvis

Robert Kennedy, Elvis, and Princess Diana are some of the inspirations for the behavior and vibe of this superman

Superman works best when he is the people's hero

Superman isn't clark kent, Clark Kent is Superman

Despite being someone with the powers of a God, he is one of the most human characters in comics. He doesn't need trauma. He doesn't need an edgy backstory,he is simply doing this because he is a kind person.

He does this because he loves his home, and everyone on it

This Superman will visit children's hospitals, volunteer at soup kitchens, race the flash for a fundraiser, save cats from trees, spend time with people that society deemed to be undesirable with no care for the consequences that people might view him with.

Stoops Issue 12 (DIY Issue) is now available!

So I've been doing this magazine for 9 years now and you would think I would have streamlined the process for releases, but being that it is still mostly a one person operation over here with no real industry support or ad dollars, I'm still just doing my best. Each issue hinges on whatever time and money I have to throw into it with hopes of breaking even but mostly coming to terms with the reality that I am spending what others may spend on mortgages, or cars, or alcoholism to put out a skateboarding publication for my own sanity, grasping for a sense of purpose, and for the few of you actually appreciate it. One day I will come to my senses and give it up, but for now, it is somehow still moving along with no drop in quality. And while I know this seems like a pity party of one over here, it is really my segue into the theme of the new issue. Issue 12 has a Do-It-Yourself theme where we explore the concept of creating spots out of nothing. Just as I am creating a magazine with my own resources, accepting the loss of funds to produce something that brings me joy, skateboarders have been doing this for years. Every spot built by skaters using their own hard earned money has no monetary pay off but brings them joy, as well as netting some happiness for others who get to enjoy using the product of that labor. This issue explores the DIY mentality in skateboarding and its importance.

You can order it here!

The Fleetwood Mac singer is the latest icon to have her likeness celebrated in doll form as part of Mattel's Barbie series of famous musicians, along with Tina Turner, Gloria Estefan, David Bowie and Elvis Presley. It will be officially released in November.

. . .

Mattel says it designed the doll in honor of Nicks' 75th birthday, which was in May. It was inspired by her outfit on the cover of the 1977 album Rumours.

. . .

Nicks is known for her flared, fringed all-black ensembles, a look she's been honing since the 1970s. She told USA Today that after her first Fleetwood Mac tour she contacted a designer, Margi Kent, and drew her a stick figure wearing a handkerchief skirt and platform boots."I said to her, 'Margi, I want to wear this when I'm 60 because I know I'll be on stage when I'm 60,' even though I'd been in Fleetwood Mac all of eight months, and she said, 'OK,' and I went back in a week and by the time we did Rumours I had my beautiful black outfit," Nicks recalled.

. . .

Nicks — who just extended her current North America tour into next year — officially introduced "Stevie Barbie" on stage at New York's Madison Square Garden on Sunday night."I hope you all love her as much as I do," she said, holding up the figurine as the crowd cheered.And it seems people do. The $55 doll sold out on Mattel's website within hours of its preorder release on Monday, and quickly emerged on resale markets at almost twice the price.

Nicks, a longtime baby doll collector, played an active role in designing her Barbie.

The doll will be in stores November 10.

Top 5 Christmas Songs for a Cozy Evening by the Fireplace

The holiday season brings with it a sense of warmth, nostalgia, and togetherness. One of the most cherished traditions is spending a cozy evening by the fireplace, enveloped in the glow of the flames and the soft twinkle of holiday lights. To enhance this serene atmosphere, the perfect Christmas music is essential. In this article, we'll explore the top 5 Christmas songs that provide the ideal soundtrack for a relaxing, cozy evening by the fireplace.

1. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Judy Garland

The Soothing Classic: "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" was introduced by Judy Garland in the 1944 film "Meet Me in St. Louis." Written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, the song's lyrics were initially melancholic but were altered to be more hopeful at Garland's request. This classic has been covered by many artists, but Garland's original rendition remains the most beloved.

Why It Sets the Mood: The song's gentle melody and heartfelt lyrics create a warm and comforting atmosphere, perfect for a quiet evening by the fire. The message of making the best of the current moment and finding happiness in togetherness resonates deeply during the holiday season. Garland's soothing voice adds an extra layer of nostalgia, making it a timeless choice for Christmas.

2. "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" by Dean Martin

The Warm Invitation: Written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in 1945, "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" has been a holiday favorite for decades. Dean Martin's version, released in 1959, is one of the most popular renditions of this classic song.

Why It Sets the Mood: Despite the song's lack of direct references to Christmas, its lyrics evoke a cozy, wintry scene perfect for the holiday season. Martin's smooth, inviting vocals and the song's upbeat yet relaxed rhythm make it ideal for a snug evening by the fireplace, watching the snow fall outside. It's a song that celebrates the joy of being indoors, safe and warm, while winter rages outside.

3. "Silver Bells" by Bing Crosby

Capturing the Essence of Christmas: "Silver Bells," written by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans, was first performed by Bob Hope and Marilyn Maxwell in the 1951 film "The Lemon Drop Kid." Bing Crosby's version, recorded with Carol Richards, quickly became a holiday staple.

Why It Sets the Mood: The song paints a vivid picture of Christmas in the city, with its imagery of bustling streets, festive decorations, and the joyous sounds of silver bells. Crosby's rich, warm voice combined with the serene melody creates a feeling of peaceful contentment. Listening to "Silver Bells" by the fire, you can almost hear the gentle ringing of bells and feel the festive spirit enveloping you.

4. "I'll Be Home for Christmas" by Elvis Presley

A Song of Longing and Love: "I'll Be Home for Christmas" was written by Kim Gannon and Walter Kent and first recorded by Bing Crosby in 1943. Elvis Presley's version, released in 1957, brought a new depth of emotion to the already poignant song.

Why It Sets the Mood: The song's lyrics express a heartfelt longing to be home for the holidays, a sentiment that resonates with many, especially those who cannot be with their loved ones. Presley's emotive delivery and the song's gentle melody create a sense of warmth and longing, perfect for reflecting by the fireplace. It's a reminder of the importance of home and family during the holiday season.

5. "The First Noel"

A Peaceful Melody: "The First Noel" is a traditional English Christmas carol dating back to at least the 16th century. The song tells the story of the Nativity and the birth of Jesus, celebrating the first Christmas.

Why It Sets the Mood: The song's peaceful and calming melody, combined with its beautiful, simple lyrics, makes it an ideal choice for a tranquil evening. Whether performed by a choir, a solo artist, or as an instrumental piece, "The First Noel" brings a sense of serenity and reverence to the holiday season. Its timeless beauty is perfect for reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas while basking in the warmth of the fire.

Conclusion: These Christmas songs provide the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and cozy Christmas evening by the fireplace. Each tune, with its unique charm and message, enhances the warmth and joy of the holiday season. Whether you're spending time with family, reminiscing on past Christmases, or simply enjoying a quiet moment alone, these songs will help create a memorable and serene atmosphere.
