Young Justice: Drunk Types

Tim: the Loving drunk

He tells you how happy he is you’re here, then it escalates to ‘I love you, I do’. Next thing you know he’s kissing everyone. (But he only gets that drunk in a safe environment)

Cissie: the Devilish Drunk

Cissie finds Tim’s antics hilarious and encourages him, she also dares everyone to do stupid things and is extremely likely to do the stupid things herself. Her and Cassie are deadly together.

Cassie: the Easy Drunk

Is easy in the way that all she needs is a suggestion of doing something stupid and she’s doing it, (nothing is unclimbable, nothing is inedible). Usually found giggling with Cissie.

Anita: the Aggressive Drunk

Tries to fight everyone and everything, fiercely protective over the group and also finds Tim’s antics hysterical. Has to be the best at everything.

Slobo: the Wandering Drunk

The kinda guy that will disappear for an hour and then come back covered in mud with the craziest story about a sheep and a old man (the nearest farm being miles away Ofc)

Greta: the Weepy Drunk

She can’t help it, she’s just so happy and grateful that the tears fall easily. Everyone takes turns holding her hand for a while.

And then the poor two who can’t get drunk…

Bart: the Sober Chaos

He isn’t drunk but he is right in the middle of the chaos, egging Cissie on, climbing things with Cassie and cheering on Anita. All while cuddling Greta and accepting Tim’s affections.

Kon: the Sober Mom

When he’s not chasing after Slobo, he’s playing mediator, trying to field Tim’s kisses and making sure they are all drinking water now and then.

“I sleep better if you’re around.” For the fluff <3

In the stark light of his kitchen, fresh from a post-patrol shower, Tim ponders himself.

Hmm. Ow.

Yeah. Just as he suspected. He prods a careful finger into his ribs—ow!—and hisses. That's what he gets for jumping between some asshole with a gun and the man's poor (hopefully, now, ex-) girlfriend...

He sighs. His careful self-examination before he showered didn't suggest that anything is broken; it's just gonna be a nasty bruise. Which is why he's here, standing in front of his fridge and pondering the freezer door. Or, more accurately, mustering up the strength to reach up, open the freezer, and reach inside for an ice pack, all of which is definitely gonna hurt like a bitch.

Okay. Nothing for it. He's used to pain. Tim takes a deep breath, steadies himself, and—

"What happened to your ribs?"

—leaps a foot clean into the air with a strangled "Eep!"

The pair of luminous blue eyes lurking in the shadows by his bedroom door blinks. Then Kon comes forward into the light, wearing an old T-shirt, boxers, and cat-shaped house slippers. His hair is adorably sleep-mussed, but his eyes are fixed on Tim's chest.

"Holy shit," Tim manages, heart racing. He braces himself against the island, adrenaline still thrumming through his veins. "You're worse than Bruce, dude! Where did you even come from?!"

Kon wrinkles his nose. "Your bed," he says. "What happened to you?"

Tim sighs, resisting the urge to pinch the bridge of his nose. "Took a bullet for a civilian. Usual stuff. It was just a handgun; I don't think anything's broken or anything, just forming up into one hell of a bruise. Why were you in my bed...? Were you waiting for me?"

Kon narrows his eyes for a moment, scanning Tim's chest. Then he relaxes, shuffling closer so that Tim can truly appreciate the majesty of his bedhead in the fluorescent kitchen lights. "Yeah, nothing's broken." He gives Tim a little smile. "And yeah, I mean, kinda. Ma's visiting Clark 'n' Lois this weekend, so the farmhouse is empty, so... I wanted to come see you."

A rush of warm, heady affection floods through Tim's chest. "...Yeah," he agrees, taking Kon's hand and intertwining their fingers. It's nice to be so clearly, unabashedly wanted sometimes. "I was just gonna grab an ice pack and let it sit on this for a few before bed, if you wanna sit with me...?"

Kon hums. He raises his free hand to his lips and lightly blows on it for a moment, then reaches for Tim; his palm is frigid against his ribs. Tim stiffens instinctively for an instant, then relaxes into his touch as the cold starts to numb the dull edges of the pain.

Man. Not to brag, but by dating his favorite Kryptonian, Tim really hit the jackpot.

"Who needs an ice pack when you have a clone boy?" Kon's eyes, sleepy as they may be, twinkle as he gives Tim a warm, dopey smile, clearly pleased with himself. If reaching up didn't sound so painful, Tim would be ruffling his hair right now.

As it is, Tim just smiles back and leans into him. His head falls against Kon's shoulder as the exhaustion of the night starts to creep up on him, and he sighs with contentment. "Not me."

"Not you," Kon agrees. He yawns, resting his cheek against Tim's hair. "...Sleepy. What time's it, anyways?"

"Around three." Tim slips his arm around his Kon's waist. "Wanna go back to bed?"

"Mmhmm." Kon hums. "I sleep better when you're around."

Warmth blooms in Tim's chest all over again. "Yeah," he says. "I know."

A Look Back at my Benji Fics 1: Kenji's Family

So the first fanfiction I wrote was called Sweet Survivor. This was right after season one and before we knew when season two was coming out.

I had written it as a gift to my sister, as we both fell in love with one Benjamin Fitzgerald Pincus.

However...all I had was my knowledge from the books and movies. I had no idea where the story would go. So like those Pteranodons...I winged it.

But seriously. It led to my own lore when it came to the campers. If I was going to write my own ending, I had to make some guesses and choices how I saw characters. And I would reuse these characters again and again.

So first: The Kons

(Btw, this was pre-Daniel Kon. And I will collapse as not to cause endless scrolling for passers by)

Kosei Kon

Kosei was what I hoped Daniel could’ve been.

I had created him between Season 1 and 2 of Camp Cretaceous when writing Sweet Survivor and kept him as “Kenji’s Dad” in every one of my fics since.

Kosei was someone who was selfish and needed a reality check. Someone who pushed his son to the side, but would do anything to keep him safe and sound. Who would be able to look at himself and do anything for Kenji’s safety.

Daniel Kon, he is not.

A lot of the background with Kosei was he was in construction and/or finance. I also put in a few fics he and Simon were best friends in their twenties and while Simon got more whimsical, Kosei got more serious. He was also from a traditional family who valued hard work, but not really family ties.

A very "I bust my ass, so you don't have to" mentality that backfires tremendously.

This would change during his second marriage and the Jurassic World incident.

I’ll go into Candy later, but she was the fuse that started the fire under his ass when it came to not only finding his son, but repairing their relationship. Most fics also had him a little awkward with his younger daughter, another OC,  since I had a theory Kenji was only raised by nannies and saw his dad once a day in person or on facetime. So he being around for nightly feedings and the terrible twos and first everythings were something he had yet to experience.

 Another funny quirk is he tries to learn about things he doesn’t understand, like phrases or other sexualities, hence why he’s a little overenthusiastic about Kenji being bisexual because “You’ve trained for this possibility, Kosei!”

A big part of making Kosei was making him terrible at poor communication and posturing instead of comforting his obviously emotionally neglected son. He would find it hard and way too new, but he was always written to, despite being a bit aloof and closed off, ready to finally step up when his son needed him for life advice or just to pass the time.

He’s also not afraid to put his career and reputation on the line when it comes to his children.

Candela "Candy" Kon

Candy was kinda a throw away line from Kenji and never mentioned again.

We didn’t know back then if she was his dad’s girlfriend, his stepmom or just an assistant for Mr. Kon. I went to the stepmom angle cause it almost felt like the scene from “Up” when Russel talked about his dad.

I really really reeeeeeally am tired of the evil stepmother trope.

So I created Candela Kon, Kosei’s wife.  (I will be referring to my OC Kosei Kon rather than Daniel Kon as Kenji’s father.)

I wanted her and Kenji to have an awkward relationship rather than a hostile one. It was more important to me that she was trying, and it just was…awkward. I 100% believe Kenji’s Dad, Daniel or Kosei, would marry without informing Kenji or Candy. And she would ream him out and immediately try to bond with Kenji, cause her husband may be a clueless dolt, but there’s a child now and his feelings are the most important thing right now.

Since Jurassic Park is located on Isla Nublar set in Costa Rica, I wanted her to be an orphan who grew up there and later immigrated to America before returning to work at Jurassic World.

Her being an orphan was never really touched on, but it would help her connect with Kenji, as she knows how it is to want parents and they're not there.

On top of that, she often had the stereotypical health crazes, though toned enough that it was more a pursuit of knowledge to see what was good or beneficial to her family. Hence why she would like Ben so much, as I wrote him not only as food conscious, but also with an interest in herbology for medical purposes. (More about that later.)

Before the series, she and Kosei would meet and start their romance because of a pregnancy that unfortunately didn’t make it to term. Candy would have built a relationship with Kosei, and both agree to stay married as they make each other happy and both love Kenji.

Carmen Kon

Carmen was the daughter of Kosei and Candy, and Kenji’s baby sister. In most stories, she is Candy's rainbow baby.

Most of the time she’s between the ages of yet to be born and 15. At any age, she’s a pretty chill little kid who loves games, her babysitter/nanny Dave and Kenji.

As a kid under 6, she’s obsessed with Kenji and later Ben. Usually getting very excited any time Kenji enters a room, she’s often corralled by Dave, who I love too much not to come back in every fic.

As a teen in Sweater Weather, she is very self-conscious, as she’s being bullied for not being like her brother by other schoolmates. She keeps to her games and loves the mall, but will have bad days where she shuts off her phone and walks around the properties. She bonds with Ben over being bullied and shares her interests in video games and gender studies.

So that's the Kons.

Thank you guys for dealing with my breaks. I am trying to write when I can. Have a good summer.

[bi-bi-birdy03]

Here's your warning now. Some of you might not like me for this, but I also don't care. Here are my opinions

Dick is so overrated and so over sexualized that it's disgusting. He's not a good older brother at all, and it's weird that people are always like dami sees him as a dad like ew. Also, the whole thing about Bruce being lost in time, like people always say that dick was hurting and stressed as excuses for the way he treated Tim, and like yeah, so was Tim. Some of the excuses are dick just lost his father, so did Tim and kon and Bart and Jack and steph, and Donna. Oh, but dick was in charge of a whole city, and it was stressing him out, he took care of bloodhaven by himself, and it's almost worse than Gotham. Like their grief and stress and trauma were not the same. Tim was going through it, and dick made it worse, and I sometimes hope Tim never forgives him for it. Like he's a bad brother a lot of the time he acts like he can only have one brother at a time. Plus he never threatened arkum like where the fuck did that come from.

Jason's not a good character and a whiney bitch who's whole personality is just I got killed and now i'm mad. others got killed, some just as bad as him, but they don't make it their whole personality like him. And the bullshit about him being all no more dead robins when he tried to kill 2 of them like the logic isn't there. Also the whole Jason is a hero for the people like no he's not when he came back he didn't give a shit about any one he was just throwing a hissy fit because he was mad, he did not give a shit about the people. You're thinking of Duke Thomas and Helena Bertinelli like you dont have to give him other characters' personality and character traits to make him more interesting. And the stupid ass headcanon about him being Hispanic is the most racist shit I've ever seen. What because he's poor, grew up abused, and violent he's Hispanic like this is the most offensive stuff as a Hispanic and you should be ashamed and it's mostly white people doing this to like fuck out of here. He was NEVER Tim's Robin, which was dick and it always will be like this is the dumbest take I've ever seen.

Stephanie is kinda irrelevant and doesn't really bring anything to the hero community, and she needs to be held accountable for the shit she did and started. People are always like she was just doing what Bruce said too for his approval but the same people turn around and say she never wanted anything to do with him and never wanted his approval and is so independent until you want to talk about her faults then it's Bruce's fault never hers.

Jon never should have been made he adds nothing to the overall dc universe and its dumb what they did to his character.

Alfred is not this golden grandfather character he's an enabler and helped Bruce psychologically abuse Tim for his 16th bday. Also all the shit he sees going on that Bruce is doing to all the kids and just let's it happen.

Fandom needs to be stopped like at all costs. They ruined the characters and their personalities so much. Tim and dami get along now and stopped fighting each other long ago. Let it go already them constantly fighting is boring their not buddy buddy, but they are not constantly at each other's throats either.

Bruce dose not love them kids he loves the control he has over them. When they start trying to be their own person, he either beats them into submission or gets rid of them. He's a piece of shit.

Clark is also a piece of shit and needs to get more heat for the way he treated kon in the beginning.

The batfamily is way too crowded now. it doesn't work anymore. It peaked when it was Bruce, dick, babs, Cass, Tim, Alfred, and Helena. I like Duke and can tolerate Damian if he's written good but with them and the rows and even Kate its just too much.

I think one of the reasons that I don't absolutely love timber is because it feels kind of fake to me. Like it's too perfect that you have bernard Who already knows tim's identity And of course we never got told how And I just think it feels so ew to me because It feels like a cop out because tim has never Been able to tell someone his identity its either been told ( bitchman sorry batman) or found out through shenanigans (yj) or from plot (tam)

And I hate that. He should be able to TELL someone. Give him the decision. And I hate how this could be part of a whole arc for him and bernard. It can be something that feels real. I don't want this whole teehee I already knew the whole time and came to terms with it. I want drama. And I know the only reason that it's like this is because it's a m/m ship, and it's new. The writers don't want to upset people, but it just feels so fake the way it is now. Real Relationships have drama they have fights, and they have conflict. But dc is not gonna give us that because they are afraid of how it will be perceived. I think this is why I can't enjoy the ship as much as I want. I want Bernard to be suspicious of where tim goes at night or why he has to leave their dates in the middle of them or not even show up and cancel at the last minute. I want them to fight and make up and talk to each other about stuff. I want tim to finally be able to tell someone himself about who he really is. I want conflict because you know if it was a straight ship, they would have this. Guess what dc us in the lgbtq+ community have real relationships to. It's not just fine and dandy all the time for us. Also give benard back his fun goofy asshole personality and his HIGHT DC HES TALLER THAN TIM!

I know it seems like I hate these characters, but its mostly the fandom that ruined them for me and Meghan Fitzmartin fuck her she's ruining the charecters and her story lines are trash

What's your batfam hot take that will land you like this?

[kafkaoftherubble]

哼，看到她洗脸刷牙了，还以为妹妹已经打算睡觉了！

But she wasn't going to sleep! Liar!

She's just having a long late-night chat with Kon, and she's not using her earpods, and no matter how quiet she tries to be, my annoyingly good ears (it's our only good sensory organ, hahahah!) could hear them. Talking and talking and giggling and laughing.

这感觉... 挺难受的。

I'm feeling hungry despite the hour! So I made cereal drink.

Has swallowing your saliva ever felt so bitter and heavy?

Oh, but it won't last forever. As soon as I go to sleep it will be over for me. And it's not that bad.

I can hear airplanes flying across the sky above our house! I guess the outage ended for everyone else too. Wonder if Lyi had arrived at Bangkok. Probably not yet.

Ah. Perhaps They are right, too. I really should have gone to Bangkok with her. At this late hour, it'll be safer if I were with her. And again, I could meet Thai Auntie. She will help. Not just in terms of driving us to the hotel, but also... I think... I think I miss her.

Or maybe I don't miss her. I think I just miss those days, which she's a part of. According to memories, those were good times.

Oh, but we were too poor to actually afford to fly to Bangkok when Lyi asked, let alone stay there for days. I'm still too poor for it now, actually! Pointedly not looking at my bank account. My disposable income is just... It's just not it. Sometimes it seems like we live hand-to-mouth. And hey, I've got a project this week! So we were never gonna be able to join Lyi this whole time. Because I need to work.

Which I'm not doing right now. But that's because I'm hungry... and feeling a bit 难受。 Sister and Kon are still chatting happily. They are having fun.

I don't like it when They are right about something. Given what They usually say, whenever They are right, it's... It's not devastating or anything, but it can be demotivating. It kinda depends on what they were saying.

What they were saying before though... Having it proven right...

Oh, what am I doing? There isn't gonna be any relief. Which is why I'm here. If I put these into words They won't repeat it so many times.

Yea, sure. Maybe I'll agree with Them and say I'm feeling abysmally lonely. If they get one more thing right, perhaps They can celebrate to Themselves and leave me alone for a bit, ahahha! At least enough to finish work.

"No effects," huh...

Not surprising to hear it, but... To hear such conclusive language, even though it has never happened before and so there isn't even any evidence to lean one way or another? To just be told "it won't change anything" even though it has literally never happen before...

I know why they think so, or what mental state they are in to say this. But I don't think... That means I should accept it with my bubbly smile and an "okay!!!" and all that. I put a lot of my heart (metaphorically, since the heart literally just pump blood and do nothing) into trying to comfort someone despite our limitations.

I just didn't want to face the truth when none of these things seemed to be looked at. I didn't want to believe Them about how it's probably all scrolled past in the manner of looking at ads or the legal terms and conditions of an app. I heard Them but I really hoped it wasn't true. I went through the day hoping it wasn't true. I couldn't take it and asked. I got worried when the answer seemed to take so much time so I said, "oh, you don't have to say anything!"

But at the same time, the inability to prove Them wrong meant They kept talking. Throughout the day I already felt pretty unsure of my worth as a social person, so I really wished...

Ah, but I also rather know the truth. If they lied we could tell, I think. After all, their behavior already showed us enough. It's why They kept saying it.

I was the one in denial. I already know why they would say this and what they're going through, but...

I'm jealous of their best friend. Whether her physical presence helped or not, they still went to her as a haven. She was physically there for them. They could say it didn't help deep down inside, or that they weren't really relieved either, but she is still lucky enough to be physically present with you and hang out with you. You guys still spent good times together in the same damn space.

I merely wished I could have that same chance. Even if it doesn't help in the end, at least I got to be physically there with them. At least I would be able to try.

But, well. It won't affect anything. Our effort to make up for our absence was futile. Now I just feel like an idiot. Writing such long paragraphs talking about how much I want to help. Toiling to no avail. I feel so embarrassed, I kinda wonder if I should delete the bulk of it. I just know I felt so... embarrassed that I don't even wanna talk anymore.

The worse thing is knowing the next Lyns will still, due to our collective stupidity and thick skin, continue to write long paragraphs of our thoughts and sentiments even though other people just aren't in the headspace to give a fuck. Even if those thoughts were about them, it was still a bunch of nothing eliciting no fuck. Yes, because of their current state of mind! Which is why I can't even be mad! There's a reason! A good reason! A fucking important reason you already know! Yes, it was what I was trying hard to allay, too! To no avail!

They are not even fucking wrong. Because they have reasons! Fucking reasons! FUCKING REASONS!

And yet I feel so 难受。 And I can't tell them because fuck, they'll just feel even worse and then say shits like "I should have shut up" and "I'm sorry I can't ___." I already know that! I already know why you can't!

This is why I'm so miserable right now, innit? Because I already know what they're about to say. Or how they'll feel. And how nothing I say will help. The only relief we could provide, given our limitation, is words. But words are useless! Fuck, even your actual presence is useless—even if you never had the chance to prove anything, because you never got the chance to be there physically. It doesn't matter! It's already decided that you won't do jackshit! You won't alleviate jackshit! Your presence won't mean shit; that's how insignificant you are compared to whatever is in their head! YOU DON'T FUCKING DESERVE A CHANCE! IT'S ALREADY DECIDED YOU WON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

好一个自作多情！

Oh, the cereal is finished! Ah, damn. The time! I should at least finish up to EP30 before bidding farewell to the day.

I can still hear Sister and Kon talking in her room. Chuckling. Giggling. Enjoying each other's company.

I actually feel happy for them.

[the-fair-maiden-of-fandom]

okay so like??? as much as i LOVE the idea of tim just not realizing he was bi until bernard mentioned "oh yeah we were on a date earlier" i ALSO love my old hc that tim was just openly into dudes and girls and no one noticed

so like, one day, cassie's talking about a cute actor or something and tim just offhandedly says "yeah, he's hot" and everyone Stares.

he legitimately doesn't understand because like, "i wore a bi flag pin for all of june???? AND my phone's lockscreen is literally still a selfie of us at pride!!! i've hit on connor hawke so many times!"

[bougiebutchbitch]

You’re like the only Naruro blog I follow and none of my friends have read Naruto so please I must share my thoughts with someone ;-; So I’m at about chapter 300 of the Naruto manga and this is the first time I’ve actually consumed any canon content of the series despite having dipped my toes into the fandom content before. I have a few things to get off my chest. One, I don’t really get why the fandom HATES Sakura so much. Yes, in OG Naruto, she is generally useless, but more so bc she was so sidelined completely. Her first fight against the puppet dude in Shippuden was genuinely so fun to read, and she’s actually so strong, more than I thought just based on what I’d heard prior to reading the manga!! The worst parts about the mangaka’s writing really come out when she has to deal with her feelings for Sasuke, the damsel in distress trope hits horrifying new levels of awful. If the romance hadn’t existed, I think she could have been such a better character, because then the mangaka wouldn’t have to add his such shit writing of women outside of punch heal heal medical ninja™️. (Although I will say, I do love her friendship with Naruto and I think that was written great!) Like I really do like her character but the writing is just so bad sometimes. Secondly, Sasuke. Kinda. Unbearable. I know he’s out for revenge and all that, and that he has a redemption later on but for now🥲 I can’t stand him I’m sorry 🥲. 2 edgy 4 m3. And right now, he’s kinda just. genuinely stupid. And I can’t take it. This is totally just a personal thing tho, I get that it’s a part of his character arc. Finally, I sorta get the impression that the fandom (not on tumblr but in general) really take their interpretation of characters to the extreme, and have the most one dimensional view of characters. For example, Tsunade genuinely seems like an awesome Hokage, is one of Naruto’s biggest supporters, and all the fandom sees is her boobs. Sakura is “useless” and “evil” for not returning Naruto’s feelings. They think Sasuke is a cool edgy deuteragonist who can do no wrong despite doing so many things wrong. “He tried to kill Sakura? Good!! She was useless anyway!!” So many of my views of the characters has been completely flipped on its head now that I’m actually reading the series. My view of the characters before I started reading was so skewed by an awful fandom. I really did believe that Sakura was useless, and that Hinata was somehow a better character????? And that Sasuke was actually justified in what he did, and that Tsunade was a bad hokage, to name a few. Makes me feel so stupid that I just believed it. Anyway, thats my rant! I hope this isn’t too negative or anything, but people sometimes praise this series like it’s the peak writing of all time, when there’s issues like blatant sexism (just to name one) within the writing itself and the fandom. I am really enjoying the series right now and am looking forward to what happens next!

:SCREAMS AND CLAPS VERY LOUDLY: YEAH YEAH YEAH

The women in Nar/uto are done dirty BOTH by Kish/imoto and a fair proportion of the fandom. I understand why some parts of the fandom venerate Sak/ura to make up for this and act like she was written amazingly, but I gotta admit, I find that annoying as well jhfjfgjdgjf.

Tsu/nade is honestly one of the few women in Nar/uto who I genuinely love to watch! I love that she's allowed to be messy and drunken and a gambler, but she's also got a strong head for politics, and she's amazing on the battlefield. And honestly, who better to run a country than someone who can run a hospital??? You need a similar mentality, lolololol. Like, yeah, she makes some poor decisions! As does every leader in the history of ever. But she's fun to watch and this is fantasy, so that's what counts!

Her obvious love and care for Nar/uto and Kon/oha are so sweet. The forehead kiss got me all kinds of soft. What a badass granny! I also shamelessly shipped her and Shi/zune even as a kid, shhhhh

I think I love certain interpretations of fanon!Sak/ura a lot more than canon!Sa/kura - she does have INCREDIBLE moments in the show, which I adore, and she's allowed to be both physically strong and emotionally vulnerable, which is awesome. But so much of her arc centres on Sas/uke, the edgelord who I was mildly obsessed with when I first watched at 13, but now just see as your average... well, 16/17 yo EDGELORD, and it makes me roll my eyes up into the stratosphere. The ending of her arc will never not make me cringe. Especially since she has her bangs back... like... kish/imoto... mmm. I think I'm maddest that she has SUCH POTENTIAL to be an amazing character, and it wasn't really tapped into - it felt like she was constantly sidelined to focus on the boys' arcs.

As for Sas/uke himself... A lot of his fans will happily ignore every awful thing he does just because he absolutely has a point about Kon/oha being terrible and needing reform (am I still pissed about how very little of importance changed in Bor/uto??? maybe so.... put the fucking frontline fighting age up to 18 at least, jfc). Like - don't get me wrong! I love that he does terrible things! I think he deserves to be a little bit unhinged, and it kinda suits his character as, again a 16/17 yo edgelord. That's just what they're like. But he's very much an Ends Justify The Means guy and I can't take anyone seriously who argues that a vengeful, bloodthirsty child becoming dictator of all ninjalands would've been the better option, actually.

THANK YOU FOR RANTING, I love to hear it!

"Tim, how many dicks have you seen? In person? Now how many have you tasted? Felt deep inside you?" Kon smiled at him. "It's not just your dick, though you ask me, it's pretty special." That alone made it sound like he only liked Tim for sex. "What I'm trying to say, is that once I had a taste of you - even your tongue - I couldn't get you out of my head. Believe me, I tried." "I don't know why I started crushing on you, you're a total nerd and you're bossy to boot. But hell, maybe that's my kinda guy and I just didn't know it yet." He answered honestly.

"Why do you hate the shades so much? What did those poor things ever do to you?" He asked with a playful smile. "No but really. Why do you always take them off me?"

Timothy noted that Kon-El did not respond to what he said about them in the future but did not press. He would pull back a bit more in the future to avoid making anything uncomfortable. They had already so much in a short time that Timothy was starting to feel like he was sometimes coming on too strong for Kon-El.��

“I know we will. And we will talk about that one. I am not even sure if I will have a performance issue with so many people around, even if they do not see it, so it is on the table as a maybe.” He wanted to be realistic, but it seemed Kon-El wanted to add another card. “Yeah, I do.” And what a fantasy it was. One he had pondered a time or two in passing but it did not involve him, just watching Kon-El with a woman. Another man, no. He fulfilled that space, but he could never be a woman in that sense because Timothy had always been cis. “I am a good fuck? Shit, I hope so, or you are a damn good actor.” Eyes went down to that finger, watching it. “On the table as a maybe. It sounds appealing.’ Though the thought of fucking a stranger made his anxiety spike a little. 

“That was a damn good night. I am so fucking happy you felt special because you are.” They would have to recreate it someday. The smile that stretched his face was all Kon-El’s doing. “Hey, I did not say it during sex. I thought it. Oh, you meant at the park not here. We were done already. That does not count as during.” he was teasing, not really upset if that was how he would be teased.

“Comparing how? Like my dick? Shit... Mine is pretty regular.” He suspected Kon-El only had sex with attractive people, which was a shallow thought, but none of them had a better dick? 

 “You can ask Twenty, but yeah, ask one more, buckaroo bear”

One of the things that always confused me about the Batgirl 2000s comic run was that weird relationship exploration with Cass and Kon. Like, wasn't she 18 and he was like at most maybe 16 at the time? Because isn't he supposed to be around the same age as Tim? Meaning he would've been 15-16 and I just find it weird that the writers would want a legal adult character to be with a minor, even if the age difference is small (being like 2-3 years). I know no comic run is perfect (I mean no one ever acknowledges that Bruce was lowkey neglectful towards Cassandra in anyway that didn't benefit the Batman and Batgirl agenda). He's all "David Cain abused her!!!!" But BRO you won't even teach her how to even fake having social skills. When I first read it in the early 2000s I was thinking "Okay, this will all play out in some logical and mature way" but it never really does. Any thoughts on this? (Also I am a Cass stan so please don't bully me I was so scared to ask this)

Yeah...DC isn't good with romantic relationships. I think Kon is supposed to be the same age as Tim, meaning, according to what Batgirl 2000 alone says, would give them about 3 years of age difference between him and Cass.

That being said, other comics dispute and mix up the ages of the characters all the time. Sometimes, Cass is the same age or very close in age to Tim (this is also indirectly highlighted by their different type of relationships with each other in the DC canon and DC alternate universes). Jen once told me about meeting some DC writers who admitted that a lot of the editors and executives kinda just forget what age group Tim and Cass are supposed to be in lol. Technically, there supposed to be slightly younger than Jason but then there was that comic where Bruce takes Cass to Jason's grave and says he's supposed to turn 18 but that doesn't exactly line up with Jason's actual return to comics and his age progression so its just one big old mess.

By now, Cass, Kon and Tim should all be adults but DC doesn't know how to do that. They have this idea that they gotta keep Tim perpetually 17 or he won't fill their dumb quota of Wayne boys being suck in the past (many of those poor writers and editors must have some serious dad issues. I feel y'all man but this ain't it). They also follow that weird trend of aging and de-aging Superfamily characters. So, who knows maybe Kon was 18 in the Batgirl run and then magically turned 15-16 again for Young Justice and Teen Titans 2008.

Another problem with Cass's age specifically is that a lot of the time, DC borders on infantilizing her cause some writers and editors don't know how to write neurodivergent characters. Yeah, it plays into the East Asian stereotype of infantilization but I think its more a problem of them not knowing how to write neurodivergents. They wrote it out of her character time and time again for a reason (cause heavens forbid we have a mentally disabled character whose also a badass.)

This is all coming from someone who has been infantilized all their life and still is for being Asian so. Yeah, DC isn't good at relationships or solidifying ages.

[oreo-bixch]

I need to air out my brain so have some of my

Timkon headcanons

Kon developed a crush first. He really tried not to, but just couldn't stop himself. It was out of his control, completely smitten before he could register it

Tim just thought of them as close friends. Ironic how he's so smart and yet so oblivious to his own feelings. It wasn't until Kon came out as bi that he took a step back and realized that it was strange just how happy he was to know Kon wasn't straight.

If it were Bart coming out he'd be like "hey, nice bro" but when Kon did it he found himself thinking "omg omg omg he likes guys?? He likes guys??? Omg I'm a guy, that means he could like me. Omg wow that's so wild wow...now wait a damn minute-"

It was about 3 months of mutual pining until they finally confessed

Altho they definitely told Cassie

Poor Cassie was itching to just tell them already but she swore she wouldn't, and she's a very reliable person, would literally take a secret to the grave. She spent 3 months sitting back watching Tim and Kon pine after each other while knowing how they felt. It was torture

Meanwhile Bart was oblivious lmao

Bart's a great friend but he's not so good with secrets. He's got a little problem where he speaks before he thinks

Finally Kon made the first move...well kinda

He was sooo ready to just tell Tim in person, and then he settled on maybe a phone call, actually no, a text might work better...or maybe he'll just wait another week

And so he decided to have Cassie do it for him, what can I say, our boy Kon is afraid of rejection

It's bad enough Clark didn't wanna be his dad, what if Tim didn't wanna be his bf? That'd be harsh

And so Cassie called Tim up one evening and spilled the beans, which was a huge relief for her, and Tim was pleasantly surprised

He was also freaking out

He didn't know what to do, he wanted to call Kon immediately and tell him that he felt the same way, that he wanted to be more than friends, to be boyfriends. But then he collected himself, decided he wanted to tell him in person. Someone's gotta put on the brave face

So he texted Kon, asked if he was free to hang out at the Manor, talk abt a little something that Cassie brought up.

Kon was so nervous but he agreed and the next day he went over to the Manor.

Usually Conner was really chill with the Batfam, the Manor was practically a second home, but this time he was hella awkward. Mans was nervous

But they sat down in Tim's bed and talked. They talked abt everything, how long they've felt that way, how much they've been wanting to tell each other, when they first knew, I mean everything.

Kon asked what this meant, what this made them? And Tim said whatever he wanted

Kon had come out just 3 months prior to this and in a way, this was Tim's coming out. It was all so new for them, and it was nerve-wracking and exciting and crazy. But they were ready, and so they decided they would be boyfriends

Idk I guess that's how it works but anyway

Cassie was sooo happy for them and could finally spill all the beans

"omg FINALLY!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT WAS TO KEEP QUIET ABT IT ALL"

And then Bart's just there like

"wait, Cassie knew? You told Cassie but not me??" >:/

Either way their friends were super happy for them

Tim told the Batfam abt a week later and everyone was super supportive and sweet about it. The Batfam actually likes Conner so they were excited for them

Alfred saw it coming a mile away, but he's happy for Tim since Conner's a good kid. A little obnoxious but they're a good fit

Dick was so happy for them, he likes all of Tim's friends and he knew for a while that they were a little closer than most. He accepted Conner into the family with open arms bc he's the best, like what do you expect

Jason was like "damn, didn't know u were bi. Cool tho, have fun dating ur annoying ass friend"

That's the extent of Jason's brotherly love

Damian was similar in that sense, he blatantly told Tim to his face that "Kent could do better but I suppose that's great news for you"

Bruce was happy asf for his son, being bi himself he was really supportive and proud of him. Plus Conner wasn't all that bad, yea he knocked over that expensive vase that one time and he's always yelling during sleepovers and he nearly ran over their cat that other time but hey, he's a good kid.

Babs and Cass and Duke were all happy for Tim too, Steph found out a few months later just bc her and Tim are exes. Not that there's bad blood between them, things just get a little awkward sometimes.

Kon didn't tell his family until about 2 months into their relationship. Except for Jon, he found out the same week but was sworn to secrecy.

Kon was really nervous to come out and tell his family bc he didn't know how Clark or Lex would react. He wasn't too worried abt Lois, he knew she would be supportive. But Clark and him were constantly at each other's throats and Lex wasn't all that good at listening or connecting to Kon.

Despite his daddy issues tho, both dads were really accepting of Kon and we're happy for him and Tim. Clark gave Kon the biggest hug and assured him that no matter how much they fought, he'd always be there for him. Lex also, surprisingly, hugged Conner and told him that who he loved didn't matter to him.

Kon and Tim's favorite date spot is this humble little coffee shop on a corner in Metropolis. Tim can feed his caffeine addiction and Kon can stuff his face on their freshly baked pastries

Altho Lex really wanted some of those WayneTech secrets

And yea those are my hcs on how it all started :)

I'll make another post for my other hcs since this one is long enough

[quotes-ig]

Sleepy Bois Inc Batman au

okay hear me out

Phil is Batman. he’s got the dad vibes and a chronic addiction to adopting chaotic children and their friends. he seems like he should be the most responsible one, but this dude runs around in a fursuit fighting crime every night, he’s not as mature as he paints himself. always trying to give his kids advice but they never listen to him, so the poor man’s just struggling to contain the chaos.

Kristen is Catwoman. she’s a mischievous queen, always causing trouble for Phil when she gets the chance. logically she seems like she should be the mum, and the kids love her, but she’s ascended beyond the need for children and leaves Phil to clean up their messes.

Wilbur is Dick Grayson, the first Robin and current Nightwing. he’s the oldest and has been with Phil for the longest, got best friend vibes with Techno and accidental mentor vibes with Tommy. he takes pride in his appearance and his fashion, and has called himself a pretty boy. he’s stereotyped as the nice one on the surface but is highkey unstable. got the most friends among the rest of the caped community

Techno is Tim Drake, the third Robin n current Red Robin. he’s a fuckin neeerrrrrrd. socially awkward dude who accidentally made friends with a ton of extroverts and has been suffering the consequences ever since. smart and dedicated when he cares, but he often doesn’t. the least chaotic, but mostly just because he’s completely dead inside at this point. would beat up TommyInnit without hesitation.

Tommy is Damian Wayne, the current Robin. his literal nickname is demon brat, need i explain more? also, gets way too attached to animals (cough cough Henry)

and then Niki is Cassandra Cain, the second Batgirl and Batman’s only legal daughter. she’s essentially part of the family, but is a competent enough adult to not need parental figures and so doesn’t often get involved with the petty drama. quiet and sweet, but can and will destroy you if need be. any moral ambiguity can be eliminated by just fighting for whatever side she fights for. she is always in the moral right.

like, it all makes sense. Tubbo is Jon Kent, the current Superboy. he’s Tommy’s best friend and spends half his time with SBI; he’s the only metahuman they’ll let in Gotham. he’s super sweet but powerful af (hacks irl), and will play up the innocent persona to get away with chaos. and then Superman would be Sparklez; a veteran in the field and Tubbo’s father. fond of but also eternally done with SBI’s bullshit. stays the hell away from Gotham.

Then you could round out the Batgirls with Minx as Barbara Gordon (scary, always angry and usually with good reason, good leader but bad taste in men) and SophieTexas as Stephanie Brown (chaotic, strong moral code but willing to get her hands more dirty than SBI is, good friends with Techno n Niki). the girls on the gamer girl smp are the Birds of Prey. Poki is Wonder Woman.

the first Teen Titans were Soothouse, and Tim’s Young Justice group is Techno’s 2017- friend group: Hanna as Cassie’s Wonder Girl cause she’s an ascended fangirl, Skeppy as Impulse because duh, Calvin as Kon Kent’s Superboy cause he’s cocky but for bloody good reason, and Tapl as Slobo because it’d be funny. also, black nail polish rights. BBH is Arrowette but with a gun. he made the mistake of becoming friends with Skeppy and has been struggling ever since, but at least he’s close with the new Green Lanterns. people usually underestimate him, but he has a fucking gun so

Tommy’s new Teen Titans group includes Tubbo, Wisp, Deo, and Drista. Wisp is Maya Ducard’s Nobody; great at combat and with strong oldest-friend vibes. Deo is Emiko Queen’s Red Arrow, cause whenever he shows up the violence escalates significantly and rapidly. and then Drista is like that new Teen Lantern girl, the kid who wasn’t actually chosen but hacked into the Green Lantern rings’ power source cause she’s a gremlin child.

Squid Kid was just a big brain Gotham dude who thought it would be cool to challenge Techno’s title of ‘World’s Greatest Detective’. Techno took this personally, and the two took turns trying to outdo each other by solving the biggest cases the fastest. Squid, though, was a student, and so to fund this feud he accidentally became head of Gotham’s biggest drug empire, in charge of the city’s supply of a new chemical colloquially called ‘potatoes’. it’s non-addictive but does give you temporary super strength, which is inconvenient in a city that pumps out a new supervillain every week. the rivalry still continues, though, and - despite Squid turning from wannabe vigilante to criminal mastermind - the two have almost struck up a friendship, or at least an mutual admiration for each other

Schlatt runs the Suicide Squad, alongside Minx’s Oracle. they broke Quackity, Fundy, and Eret outta jail and got bombs in them, to force them to pull off the most dangerous missions. Quackity was there in the first place because of Schlatt, but is now having second thoughts. i kinda want him to be Harley Quinn, cause he has a similar vibe with the SBI boys that she has with the Bats. Eret was there because he betrayed some heroes a while ago for personal gain, and hasn’t had the chance to atone yet. Fundy was there because he used to be close with Wilbur, to the point that he was often mistaken as his sidekick. he got sick of Wilbur always needing to be the leader and turned to the villains’ side. the two haven’t spoken since

finally, the Dream Team are Earth’s Green Lanterns; super powerful and with a lot of galactic clout. they’re pretty new to the scene, though, and so initially clashed with SBI, cause they kept trying to get involved in Gotham’s business. powers are strictly prohibited in Gotham. eventually, this beef culminated in a duel between Dream and Techno: if Dream won they could actually uphold their oath and protect everyone on Earth, if Techno won then they had to stay the hell outta SBI’s city. Dream still hasn’t recovered from the fact that he was beat by a guy with no powers, but it was close enough for Techno to enjoy teaming up with the masked man every now and then since

i’ve been thinking about this all night, man. i knew all this obscure comics knowledge would be useful one day, to make...an au...about minecraft youtubers...maybe useful was a strong word, actually

Plus? There WAS that whole "Anti-clone" bigotry floating around Krypton around the time the planet blew? Wanna bet that not only was NOT universal, but was one of the Cultural Issues that was tied to this or that? And came up and fell out of common belief every few centuries?

Very hot button. Like LGBT+ rights here on earth. So Kon being a clone? Not a big deal to some ghosts. Other ghosts WINCING and going "oof, ya, that must not have gone over well." Because in death they may have unlearned a lot of shit... but boy howdy did they LIVE during those periods.

Kara's initial reaction would have been expected to them. Not great. But expected. Where as more progressive/different Era ghosts are like "wait, WHAT?!" Because the only problem HERE is lex! He should be brought to trial! Clones are FINE. That's just a baby. But you can't just STEAL people's dna!

And Kon is like *eating Kryptonian dumplings, because every culture has SOME form of cooked dough around filling* huh. So grandpa was just... kinda Kryptonian homophobic? Clonephobic?

That weird realization that? Holy shit. Your ancestors are PEOPLE. And for all Clark's bio-parents were put on a pedestal? They very much WERE... just people. Flawed. Trying their best but wholly imperfect, not some shining paragons of The Perfect Kryptonians. Just two scientists trying to save their son.

Kinda trippy. He's ngl.

Cause like? Everyone keeps feeding into this... this LEGEND of Superman(tm). Of him being infallible. Of Krypton being this Tragic, Perfect, and Beautiful Utopia. That died. And now can never be anything BUT beautiful and perfect.

It's all Kon ever hears. Like tragedy porn. Oh poor Krypton. The land of no flaws. No poverty, no war, no evils. Shining cities and moral men. A planet of Supermen. Beautiful BECAUSE it's dead. BECAUSE it can never let you down.

Some shimmering dream, Kon's supposedly not worthy off.

But it's not, is it? Wasn't. It was just a planet. Full of people. Good, bad, and everything in-between. People. And then they all died. Cities gone. History lost. Story over.

And it could have been prevented. But... but Krypton isn't SPECIAL. Isn't some magical, superior, planet of wonders, just because it was a tragedy. Planets end all the time. They fight to stop it, but they can't always win. And... and it's all still here.

Not some fetishized memory on a pedestal, kept sterile and clean in a museum somewhere. But recipes and people. Petty arguments that aren't ever gonna end. Memes and alien fart jokes. Life in the afterlife. Gone but still alive.

It's? Better somehow, to realize that Kypton was.. was Just Some Place. Full of countries and politics and Eras. One planet out of countless billions and that the universe continued on. That it was special cause it was OURS.

His.

Not because it was somehow made of better things. Not shining and perfect. Just a foreign land. HIS ancestoral land. That floated around a star that would have been one of his. That would have had high-schools he might have attended. People he might have dated. Jokes he might have shared.

It's weird to realize... he's bi-racial. Literally. Half Kryptonian. Half Earthling. A child of two planets, but one of them is dead. But for the first time in his life? He gets to listen to Kryptonian grannies argue over the right way to make various dishes. Listen to a teenager from the fall of Krypton explain (rant) how his favorite show never got an ending. Learn the FINEST cringe Memes.

People are arguing over which house he's from. Apparently Lex's features mean he no longer "has the El cheekbones". He didn't even GET Lex's cheekbones. But his great-grandma's family's making a pretty convincing case, and they DO have dumplings...

He can't wait to tell everybody back home. Next time, he's bringing the Team. They'd LOVE it here.

Superman has access to a whole doomsday escape ship of information about Krypton, it’s culture and kryptonian biology. Plus the AI of his father and Supergirl if she already arrived.

Superboy, does not. He maybe barely has the information Cadmus figured out or speculated about Superman (if they actually shared that with him) and whatever Robin could find hacking the Justice League.

You know where you could find an entire planet’s worth of people to ask: the Ghost Zone.

Dani trows her arm about Kon’s shoulder and cheers “Yes! Road Trip, Baby!”

[paladin-of-nerd-fandom65]

If in the reboot Chris was still on phantom zone and some years later when Jon got a mission about krypton and it's phantom zone he backs of the mission with a kid who don't ever want be separated of him that kid would be Chris

So now everyone have to help Jon with the kid, who can be his brother or child depending of age.

Chris being shy and don't talking to anyone but Jon,Kon and Damian.

Well…….

Jon would be still a kid during this hypothetical Phantom Zone mission (cheerfully ignores the Bendis age up) therefore Chris would be Jon’s brother ;-)

So yes, poor Chris feeling so shy in this timeline with familiar faces yet somehow something slightly…different like his Dad Clark having another son besides him.

Thankfully, Chris and Jon bond together almost immediately and the latter is more than happy to help the former adjust to a new life on Earth with his family and him.

As for Clark, Lois, and Conner, it’ll be similar to the situation when Wally reunited with the Titans as in just one handshake to them restores their memories they have with him making the reunion all the more happy despite Conner only having met the kid during the later stages of New Krypton Arc.

So yeah, Chris might feel all sorts of emotions that can be overwhelming given everything’s that’s happening and his return, but Jon and the others will be there for him, even Damian though their meeting was kinda like how his first meeting with Jon went, and yes expect Jon bursting into the Batcave to make sure Chris is alright and tell Damian to knock it off lol

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF YOUNG JUSTICE: DARK CRISIS 5

....yeah, I’m fine with it, for the most part. 

I understand the critique being made. It might be a little sloppy in the execution, some of Mickey’s talking points hit a bit too close to home for reasonable critiques of how these particular characters have been treated over the years especially since YJ has a heavily LGBTQ fanbase who’ve long hoped that YJ would be ALLOWED to be more inclusive, but I can tell Mickey is meant to represent the toxic mindset that prioritizes cis het white fuckboys’ preferences above the opinions of the diverse fanbase Young Justice actually has. 

At least, that’s what I think it’s driving at. Like, I think Tim being queer is playing a big role here. Look how Tim coming out split the overall DC fanbase at large when it first happened. I don’t see it a lot, because I’m on tumblr where majority opinion is pretty much YAY BI TIM! but I still see the youtube comments trying to pretend their distaste for Tim’s “sexuality retcon” has nothing to do with homophobia and that it’s “just not canon” - sucks to suck, man, it IS canon now. 

That’s what this comic is MEANT to be critiquing, I think. And like, Mickey is WRONG about Young Justice being what he wants them to be. He’s trying to MAKE them be versions of themselves they NEVER were. Whether you thought that was obvious enough (or if I’m just full of shit, lol), is up to you. 

On to commenting on individual panels. 

I LOVE Tim struggling to identify himself with the minority group. Identifying as queer is NEW to Tim, and it’s hard to let go of your privledge, especially when you fly under the radar. Tim’s a cis white man who’s identified as straight for a long time - he’s just not used to being subjected to homophobia or microagressions. He’s long been an ally, but he’s just not used to saying “I” yet in this context, and I love that little inclusion. 

YES, VERY GOOD! 

...yeah, I don’t like this. I hate that Cassie is my least favorite part of this series, but she’s kinda unreasonable. For one, like, why is Bart apologizing at all? HE wasn’t fooled. And Tim and Kon had their suspicions as well, even if they WERE somewhat fooled. And why does Cassie ASSUME they were fooled? And even if they were, how does she know they weren’t under some form of influence to think it was her? There’s just a lot of assumptions Cassie’s making here, and while Cassie can be abrasive at times, this comic isn’t really selling me on the idea that Cassie’s been done dirty over the years. Cassie HAS been done dirty over the years, but this comic doesn’t make me too sympathetic. The girls have been written all over the place, sort of similar to how Kon’s been up and down as well, and it’s just... WEIRD for a comic so concerned with feminism to do its own gals dirty like that when THEY WEREN’T EVEN IN THE FUCKED UP WORLD. 

I’ve seen that Anita will be showing up soon, and I’m kinda fucking NERVOUS about it, because if this is how Cissie and Cassie are written, what are they gonna do to poor Nita? 

So, as per my notes above, I think Tim being queer is playing a big part in Mickey’s... eveything. Because HIS perfect (racist, sexist, homophobic) world was BEFORE Tim came out. Now one of his “heroes” is intrinsically changed from what he wants him to be. He’s been trying to FORCE Tim to be the straight-presenting 14-year-old he used to be, but Tim’s not cooperating, so the world really DOES have it out for him. Bart, for all HE’S not cooperating, is still pretty much what Mickey expects him to be, only he’s eaten a library since then so he’s not “the dumb one” like he expects. And Kon is... Kon is having a crisis, ok, but he loves his friends. 

lmao this is just a funny panel 

Uh, oh, and Tim and Kon were just really gay with each other the whole comic, but I didn’t take pics this time because there were a lot of them and I’m just not as surprised this time. Nothing more noteworthy than what’s come before. Some fussing over Tim, general touching, you know the drill by now.
