fav episode 💖💖💖

[jesncin]

the worst part of being a j'onn fan is that there seems like there should be a lot about him! he's a beloved long-time member of the justice league, he's in so many fantastic comics and animated shows, there are a lot of fics and art with him, it's not like some of my faves where i know they're d-listers. but then 70% of it is based on the supergirl tv show, and the rest of the time he'll be in the group photo or have two lines or whatever. everyone is so mean to him :(

Yess you get it exactly D': J'onn is an iconic and recognizable character but when it comes to content (from both media and fanon) he has the energy of a d-lister. There's so few solos, and he's usually relegated to supporting character everywhere else.

A lot of writers don't know what to do with him that isn't a retread of Superman (or even Jor-El). While I understand fans saying "he's the heart of the League, his only family is the League" that does end up making him so tied to the League that he doesn't get to have a unique world, story, cast system of his own!

I think the Supergirl tv show did a pretty admirable job with J'onn as a character, giving him arcs outside of mourning for Mars like most of the comics do (don't get me wrong I love the angst but I want more stories!). He has a great arc with his dad there, and even reconciles with Ma'alefa'ak which is

everything to me.

WASHINGTON, D.C.

JULY 4TH, 2:00 PM

“All right, (hero), as you know, today’s the day,” says the blonde woman, Black Canary, as she places her hands on your back, guiding you toward the Justice League headquarters. You walk calmly, rejichiro perched on your shoulder. “Today will be just another day. I can’t fail this time,” you think to yourself as you walk confidently, being the first to arrive.

“You did so well,” the woman says, glancing toward the headquarters. You notice the figures but don’t look. You already know they’re Batman, Flash, and Green Arrow with their partners. Your fist tightens as you walk alongside the others toward the entrance. “Once again, here we are.”

—“So, this is the day it happens again, isn’t it?” Renjichiro comments, watching you as you prepare. You press a button on the choker around your neck, and your hero costume materializes. The same choker that, with a simple pull of the pin, will kill you and reset the timeline.

—“What number is this? The 140th? Or less? Or perhaps more? Aren’t you excited to see your friends’ faces again?” The voice of the mystical animal resonates in your mind, a memory flashing back to earlier.

"Ugh, I knew we’d be late!” Kid Flash complains, approaching with Flash. The group, now assembled, looks toward the grand Hall of Justice. Photographers, paparazzi, and fans surround the building, admiring not only the structure but also the heroes as they approach the entrance.

“Good to see we’re all here,” Aqualad comments, glancing at everyone.

“Have the five sidekicks ever been in the same place at the same time?” Kid Flash asks, raising his hand, prompting a serious reply from Green Arrow:

“Don’t call us sidekicks. Not today.”

“Sorry, it’s my first time in the hall. I’m a little emotional!” Kid Flash says, giving you a gentle nudge with his elbow. “Bet (hero) feels the same, right?” You ignore him, staring ahead with a neutral expression.

“You’re overwhelmed, Freeze was underwhelmed. Why isn’t anyone ever just whelmed?"

Upon entering, everyone marvels at the grand statues of the Justice League members standing above the doors—a breathtaking sight for all but you. You’re long accustomed to this place after countless timelines. You know it like the back of your hand, even in complete darkness.

“Maybe that’s why...”

Beneath the statues, the doors open, and Martian Manhunter and Red Tornado step out.

“Welcome. You now have unrestricted access to the academy, our fully stocked kitchen, and, of course, our library,” Martian Manhunter announces.

The group enters, admiring the surroundings—everyone except you. You’ve seen this place too many times before, across the erased timelines. You know every inch of it.

“Make yourselves at home!” Flash says, prompting Kid Flash, Robin, and Aqualad to throw themselves onto the chairs. Meanwhile, you and Green Arrow remain standing. You lean against a bookshelf behind the boys.

“A quick meeting to discuss four ice villains attacking on the same day. We won’t be long,” Batman says as the League members prepare to be scanned.

As the door opens, Green Arrow speaks, but you’re too tired of the same old routine to pay attention. In previous timelines, you tried stopping him, reasoning with him—it always ended badly. Sometimes he pushed you, tried to fight, or even attempted to kill you later. Now, you’ve learned to ignore it.

You’ve decided not to grow attached to anyone, no matter the member. Attachment always leads to problems. Your only goal is to complete the mission—nothing more, nothing less.

“You’re not ready!” Green Arrow yells, storming out. You roll your eyes. Overdramatic as always. You couldn’t care less about “joining the Justice League.” It’s just a title, nothing more, and it’s irrelevant to your mission. The League has hindered you more than helped in the past.

You follow the others toward the adults, picking up a hat the previous boy had thrown to the ground. You open the yo-yo hidden inside it, place the hat inside, and close it. Renjichiro’s weapons always seemed random, sometimes dangerous, sometimes absurd, or even playful objects like toys with unexpected powers.

“Stay here!” Batman orders, only for Robin to interrupt: “What?! Why?!”

“This is a League mission,” Aquaman says, walking off with the other heroes.

“You’re not trained!” Flash adds, shocking Kid Flash. “Since when?!”

“Not trained for this team,” Flash clarifies, gesturing at the adults.

“There will be other missions,” Aquaman says before Batman interrupts: “But for now, you stay here.”

You feel a hand on your shoulder. Black Canary looks at you with a reassuring smile. “I hope you understand, (hero). But I know you do—you’re smart,” she says, patting your head before walking after the others.

“Glad we didn’t bring, you-know-who?” Green Arrow asks Martian Manhunter, who nods in agreement as they follow the rest. The door closes behind them.

Au where Sierra is obsessed with uncovering the "mystery man" himself (Noah), instead of being in love of Cody.

Anything is better than her canon plotline, but I feel like this works really well because of how the Canon set it up. Like, Noah being Chris' assistant and being incognito since s2 was highlighted a lot in the celebrity Manhunt episode (S2. Ep 27.) but nothing came from it. He remains a mystery and a background character despite the impact his actions could've been. (Y'know, with the trashy writing. I mean, he exposed Alejandro to Owen and the rest of the team but it doesn't come up until it's convenient to the plot!)

And what is Sierra? A HUGE fan of total Drama and knows too much of every other person in the cast. Everyone but Noah and Alejandro, but her not knowing anything about Noah hits harder cause he's an og.

Their dynamic and arcs could go so many ways.

Manhunt (2024) - ep. 7: The Final Act

[thank-god-and-you]

Now that I've had a week or so to digest it, I need to post about my appreciation of New Year week's Sukeve scenes.

[FULL THOUGHTS IN THE REBLOGS, THIS IS JUST PART ONE.]

The whole week was so beautifully done. Monday's ep was heartfelt and hopeful, Tuesday's was hilarious, and the moment it was announced that Kevin Rundle had Wednesday's and Thursday's, I knew we would be in safe hands. There can be a stigma about men being in wlw spaces, but it's so clear that no one on the EE writing team understands Suki and Eve's relationship the way he does. He has consistently given us the most incredible, beautiful scenes for the two of them, and there was no one else I would have trusted to have delivered the wedding episode. Take a bow, sir.

(Good to see Walford police being as useless as ever by deciding that a dying murderer who is a danger to his family broke out of prison to...commit suicide, on the 'evidence' of an anonymous call and an abandoned bag with no body. Case closed, job's a good 'un, no need to verify any of it! Also, they were conducting a manhunt...but didn't think to check the abandoned flat just around the corner. Great job, guys.)

ANYWAY, I appreciated the lovely little family moments on Monday. It was so nice to finally see everyone (minus Nugget) as a proper unit, happy and supportive of each other, and Suki and Eve just basking in the chaos.

The scene in the kitchen was so special, seeing Vinny and Ravi in particular throwing their full support behind the wedding was such a nice moment after their actions last year. I don't know why, but Ravi kissing Suki and then instigating the group hug really made me emotional. It's crazy to think that literally every male Panesar/Gulati besides Kheerat has attempted to kill or been complicit in an attempt on Eve's life, LOL. Suki really is Eve's soulmate for her to forgive all these idiotic men and not run a mile in the opposite direction.

(The Yolande and Suki scene was also very powerful and beautifully written, I loved these two survivors coming together and it ultimately giving Suki the strength to press on with her life regardless of Nish's looming presence.)

The hen night was in turns heartfelt and hilarious. Loved seeing all of the women gathered together, just generally having a good time. I always enjoy seeing Suki and Eve being incorporated into the wider community.

Eve being there to comfort Suki about not hearing back from Ash, and Suki correcting Eve when she said that it was Suki's time to be happy with it being their time to be happy, and the little sway in the rain were so lovely.

HOW Nish was able to lurk in the shadows and wander around in front of the club without anyone recognising him is another thing, but whatever, LOL.

The moment between Priya and Suki was one of my favourites. Priya has been such a wonderful addition to the family dynamic, and I really hope we continue to see her relationship with both Suki and Eve develop into 2025. I've loved seeing Suki going from subtle hostility to grudging respect to reluctant acceptance to genuine affection for her (and the same in reverse). And Eve is going to be losing Stacey soon, so it would be nice if Priya could fill that role for a while (but no one can ever replace the Bap Van Wives duo, sorry).

Suki's reaction to Eve's 'I have never slept with a woman' made me laugh, it was so cute. Yes, girl, you do sleep with one particular woman!

Will always appreciate Suki and Eve being complete horndogs for each other. It's so refreshing to see two older women clearly portrayed as loving each other (lots of sweet physical touches, words of affirmation, always there to support each other), but also really fancying each other as well.

(I always thought getting the "beg" scene pre-watershed was unbelievable, but a middle-aged lesbian dipping her finger in champagne and then suggestively putting said finger in her wife-to-be's mouth on the king's BBC...good LORD!)

And it literally carrying over to the actual wedding day, haha!
