Written by Kami Garcia

Art by Gabriel Picolo

Kori Anders' summer job at a ritzy Santa Monica beach club is fun, but she doesn't care about keeping up with the current trends, and she's not interested in rushing around to all the parties. She'd rather explore her inexplicable draw to the stars or hang out with her new friend, Victor Stone. Her sister, Kira, on the other hand, is the most popular girl around. With the hottest clothes, an even hotter boyfriend (the Tate Fairweather), and a take-no-prisoners attitude, she's Kori's opposite in every way. Their summer heats up when Tate's uncle asks the girls to participate in an EDS study his pharmaceutical company is running. During treatment, Kori develops some strange powers she never had before...and she might not be the only one. Can Kori persuade her sister to trust her before it's too late? And when a carload of teens with their own powers come looking for her to warn her about a creepy stalker, she'll learn that trust is a two-way street!

#damian wayne #guessing the WW backup is still Super Sons related. Trinity tell Damian not to become Batman in the future lol #Damian’s sleeveless Robin outfit looks kinda goofy LOL but it looks like he’s having fun 😭#i’ve been avoiding titles that only feature Damian on cover art especially without confirmation he’s in the actual issue but #some of the covers are really cute and who knows maybe someone might end up liking the comic!!#fun lil note but the writer and artist for the Red Hood webtoon are together again for the Lex story in the Spring anthology!#it’s just nice seeing comic creators have more opportunities to return #damian waynesday

Hello! I love your work, may i ask for a Navier Trovi/Cayena Hill x Record of Ragnarok. Thank you so much.

ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ- DEAR PRİNCESS

"That girl is the Emperor's sister. No matter how beautiful she is, beauty cannot be a true power."

Record Of Ragnarok X Cayena Hill! Reader

Beelzebub

Beelzebub was always cold and gloomy, with a heart made of a wall of stone.

You came across him while isolating himself from everyone, aware of his curse, while deep inside he was mourning his past.

No, it wasn't your beauty that impressed him. You... you looked like Lilith.

The same audacity, the same look. How could you, a weak person, look so much like Lilith?

The way you treat him makes him feel like crying. Partly like your domesticated, loyal dog.

He tries to deny it, but he likes the ways you don't resemble Lilith. You are spiteful, you have a strong will to live.You didn't want to be a puppet, you wanted to be the ruler, not the ruled, and you were.

Beelzebub knows you're using him, he's still a God after all, his Godly intelligence can't be underestimated, but sometimes he can't read you. You are so... Divine. At least Beelzebub thinks so.

Your desire for life next to his desire for death. You shattered all the walls he built around his heart in one go and he couldn't even stop it.

He is so helplessly afraid. One day, he may rip out your heart without even realizing it.

Please don't leave him. His sun, his moon, his love, his soul, his heart... Everything belongs to you.

Nikola Tesla

Nikola is a man deeply devoted to his work, it can be said that most of the time his eyes see nothing but science.

But every once in a while, after the protests of those around him or a failed invention, he has the grace to go out and realize the beauties he was unaware of until now.

You were just passing by him and he looked at you exactly like this ^°^

Actually, he thought you were a Goddess, but you didn't hear it from me, okay?

He is always enterprising in the things he is interested in, and you have risen to the top among the topics he is interested in.

The first thing he does to meet you is awkwardly follow you because he doesn't know exactly how to approach a woman like you...

He gave up asking Marie for advice because she was laughing when she told Nikola he had no chance.

Okay, maybe Marie was partially right because you were more beautiful than 97.5% of the beauty standards of Goddesses and human women.

Still, it is unknown why, you were the first person to talk to Nikola, you asked him his name (He grins whenever he thinks about it during sleepless nights, and it's been 6 months since then)

He's definitely a weird lover. In the end, you will either find him cute and take care of him, or you will run away from him to death. His puppy dog eyes are so cute though-

You weren't just beautiful either! You were strong, you were good at intrigue, you were smart, you could get what you wanted. You were exactly the type of woman he was interested in.

Maybe one day you'll love it too. Because according to Nikola's calculation, it's not that impossible.

Chapter Five

Series Masterlist

CW: None

The sun was shining brightly in the Spring lands as Evelyn sat contently in her mother's gardens, watching humans work for them while they could just use their magic to keep the flowers blooming.

She sat, smoothing her summer dress as a human stable hand approached her, hand behind his back.

"Hello, Lady Evelyn." The boy, whom Evelyn knew as Nikolas, named after his father like most human 'heirs' were, walked towards her.

She smiled at the boy, "Hi, Nik," Her eyes went to where his arms stayed, "What do you have there?"

"My lady, Alverndóttir," He bowed, and Evelyn smiled at his show, "I found these growing near the stables," Nikolas gave a small chuckle, pulling his hand from behind his back to reveal a small bouquet of wildflowers. "Ah, nothing much really, just these. Found 'em on my way here. Thought they might brighten up your day a bit." He offers the flowers to Evelyn, a hopeful grin on his lips. "You like flowers, right? I got these for you." He had a blush on his cheeks that Evelyn found positively endearing.

"So you killed them for me?" She decided to tease him, taking slight joy in how his eyes went wide with horror as he still held the flowers.

Nikolas stuttered slightly, "N-no, La-lady, that's not-" Nikolas was cut off by a sudden blush that spread across his cheeks, his gaze falling away shyly as Evelyn teased him. He fumbles a little with the bouquet, looking anything but composed.

"Ah… No, miss! I-I mean, I didn't kill them, exactly. They were already growing over there." His voice trails off into an uncertain mumble, struggling to maintain eye contact with Evelyn despite the playful banter between them.

"Relax," Evelyn giggled, "I'm only messing with you." Evelyn's laughter echoes softly through the garden, causing a ripple of warmth to spread through Nikolas' chest. His blush remains stubbornly present, though he attempts to shake off the embarrassment with a sheepish smile.

"Oh… Right. Sorry about that, Lady Evelyn." He takes a moment to compose himself before extending the bouquet towards her once more. "Here you go, then. For… umm… for making you laugh?" Evelyn accepts the flowers, her fingers brushing against Nikolas'. She takes a moment to admire the simple beauty of the wildflowers before looking back up at him, a genuine smile gracing her features. "You always know how to make me smile, Nik. Thank you... They're beautiful." She walked over to him, planting a gentle kiss on his cheek, her heart swelling with affection.

There's a certain sweetness to them, one that seems out of place among the hustle and bustle of the garden. The simple exchange has stirred something within both Evelyn and Nikolas, something unexpected yet not unwanted. His shoulders dropped in relaxation, "Oh, thank gods..." Smiling softly at her, his cheeks tingling with magic where she kissed him.

"Come sit with me," Evelyn patted the ground next to her, shuffling slightly to make space for him.

"I don't think that's appropriate, my lady." Nikolas bowed his head to her, handing her the flowers, marvelling at her powers as she brought those flowers to life and made the stems wrap around her arm, the flowers blooming brightly.

Evelyn’s laughter rings through the garden, echoing off the stone walls and causing butterflies to flutter in their cages. She shakes her head at Nikolas’ protest, finding amusement in his chivalrous nature.

"Oh, come now, Nik. We're just having a chat. It's hardly scandalous." Despite her teasing tone, Nikolas makes no move to sit next to her.

However, seeing the flowers bloom under her touch draws a gasp from Nikolas, a mix of awe and fear colouring his expression. He watches them blossom on command, mesmerized by this display of magic. Neither of them knew just how scandals it was for them to even talk unless it was Evelyn giving him orders, he was bound to follow.

Evelyn smirked gently, "That's on order. Sit next to me."

"Of course, my lady," Nikolas moved to sit next to her, eyes wide as Evelyn made the flowers in her hand grow to his.

Evelyn sighed softly in the large kitchen in the Spring manor, she had been up for hours, helping the staff the best she could, or as much as they would let her as they always ended up ushering her out.

She smiled, feeling her muscles turn under the mask, she should've gotten used to the discomfort her dove mask had given in nearly half a century, but it was always a wave of annoyance waking up.

Her fingers traced along the polished wooden countertops she sat on, reminiscing about the good old days when she wasn't confined behind this cursed mask. She loved to cook, it was one of her favourite pastimes, and the smell of freshly baked bread and the sizzling vegetables filled the room.

The kitchen staff were busy preparing breakfast, their hands moving quickly and efficiently around the various cooking stations. The clinking of pots and pans added to the cheerful morning atmosphere, contrasting starkly against Evelyn's melancholic mood. Her eyes roamed over the vast kitchen, taking in every detail, from the gleaming copper pots hanging from hooks on the wall to the rows of neatly arranged spices that lined the shelves.

With how long she had lived, she should've been used to the luxuries she had grown up with, but she had never gotten used to seeing her family estate as far as the eye could see, especially knowing Amarantha had made things worse for the common folk.

She was bathed and dressed in clothes apart from one of her usual gowns, the skirts of the gown were asymmetrical, a pair of riding pants under them as she made her way to her gardens, with her stomach full early, today she'd go check on Andras, pay her respect while she was on Lucien's border petrol, while Lucien took the place of their fallen friend. She shook away the memories of him before they consumed her, she needed to be stronger than her emotions, Andras knew what he was getting himself into.

Evelyn sighed, looking at a bouquet of wildflowers that she had in a little enchanted pot, but then again, losing people had never been easy on her.

"Someone's up early." Evelyn turned on her heel to find Lucien leaning against a wall, watching her.

Evelyn smiled softly at her friend, "How were the oils?"

"Perfect," Lucien rolled both his eyes to show her the fluid moment of his mechanical eye, a part of her felt him teasing. "Although I was hoping you would help with it."

"Of course you would," Evelyn smiled, the memory of her helping him after he had received that scar seemed so far away but yesterday at the same time.

Lucien chuckled lightly as Evelyn approached him, a playful glint in his russet eye. "Oh? And here I thought you enjoyed my company," Lucien replied with a wink, taking a step closer to her.

His presence was intoxicating, the faint scent of oils, cinnamon, and cedarwood, mixed with the subtle musk of his cologne. It was a heady mix, one that could make any female's heart race just a little faster.

"You know how much your assistance means to me, Evie," Lucien said, stepping closer as she stood in front of him. His tone was gentle, but there was a spark in his gaze like he was always flirting.

"Of course you would," Evelyn smiled, the memory of her helping him after he had received that scar seemed so far away but yesterday at the same time. She moved closer to him, her hand reaching out to touch his arm gently. "And I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy your absolutely annoying company."

The faint scent of flowers filled the air around them as Evelyn made her way through the halls.

"It should be," Lucien agreed, following her lead. "But I have a surprise for you." He slipped her arm in his, leading her.

As they walked down the hallways, the faint scent of flowers filled the air around them. It was a pleasant aroma that reminded Evelyn of her garden and the peaceful moments they spent tending to it together.

"I do hope it's not another task for me to complete," She teased, shooting him a playful glance over her shoulder. "I already have your work to do." "But then again, I am always game for a good surprise," She added with a smile.

Lucien led Evelyn towards the stables, a place she hadn't visited in quite some time, where a few stablehands were working away. As they entered, she couldn't help but gasp at the sight before her. In the corner of the stable, there was a beautiful new horse, looking newly matured, tacked up with reins, saddleless.

"Oh, Lucien!" Evelyn exclaimed, her eyes wide with wonder and delight. She rushed forward, her hands instinctively reaching out to stroke the soft coat of the animal. "Is this your surprise? Is it a he or a she?" She smiled as the horse neighed happily at her petting.

Lucien watched Evelyn interact with the horse, a soft smile playing on his lips. He enjoyed seeing her like this, free from the burdens of the world, enjoying the simple pleasures life had to offer.

"It's a she," Lucien replied, moving closer to join Evelyn by the horse's side. "I thought since you love spending time in your garden so much, and are going out again after a few years you might also appreciate having a companion who also seeing the lands outside with you."

He reached out to gently pat the mare's neck, his fingers brushing against hers as they touched the animal simultaneously.

"She's so cute..." Evelyn cooed as the mare nuzzled against her.

"She is rather adorable, isn't she?" Lucien agreed, his voice soft and warm. He leaned in closer to Evelyn, their bodies almost touching as they continued to pet the mare. The warmth radiating off of each other was comforting, like coming home after a long journey.

"But I must admit," he continued, turning his attention back to Evelyn, "that I think she'll be even more adorable once she gets used to you." His russet eye twinkled with mischief as he looked into Evelyn's eyes.

"Oh I think she's already used to me." Evelyn smiled as the horse neighed as if saying, "Yes." Evelyn kissed over the mare's head, "What's her name?"

"She doesn't have a name yet," Lucien replied, his gaze never leaving Evelyn's face. "We thought we'd let you decide. After all, you're the one who will be spending most of your time with her."

"'We'" Evelyn raised her brow at him.

Lucien nodded, "Yeah, Tamlin found her abandoned in the woods, brought her home just a few days ago."

"What should we name her?" Evelyn asked, pulling the mare closer by her reins.

He paused for a moment, his gaze softening as he studied her face. "What do you think of the name 'Rose'? It seems fitting considering." He waved his hand at her mother's rose garden

Lucien waited eagerly for Evelyn's response, curious to see what name she would choose for the mare.

Lucien waited eagerly for Evelyn's response, curious to see what name she would choose for the mare. Rose was indeed a fitting name considering the mare's soft complexion and the rose garden that lay adjacent to the stables.

"That's a lovely name," Evelyn finally said, her eyes sparkling with appreciation. "Yes, let's call her Rose." She stroked the horse's nose affectionately.

"And thank you for this wonderful gift, Lucien," she added, giving him a grateful look.

As Evelyn climbed onto Rose bareback, the mare remained calm under her weight, Evelyn's skirts falling down the mare's side like a waterfall. Pulling gently on the reins, she guided the animal towards the exit of the stable.

"Well, I just need to gather some food and water for my trip to the border, Tamlin should have them packed." Evelyn explained, her voice filled with anticipation and excitement. "It won't take too long though."

Lucien nodded, understanding the gravity of her mission. "Take care out there," he said, concern lacing his words. "If anything goes wrong, don't hesitate to come home instantly."

He knew she was capable and strong, but he couldn't help feeling protective over her. After all, they'd been through so much together, good times and bad.

Their little moment was broken by Feyre wandering into the stables, as all the Fae in the room straightened, "Morning Fyere." Evelyn offered a soft smile and kicked Lucien gently when he stared down at Feyre.

Before Lucien could open his mouth for a sassy remark, Evelyn patted his head, slightly messing up his red hair as she squeezed her legs for Rose to move, "Well, you two enjoy, I'm out of here." She trotted out from between them.

авантура Цанмома у Београду

avantura Canmoma u Beogradu, or, the adventure of canmom in Belgrade

it's another one of these 'travels of canmom' posts! last time we went to Gamescom in Germany. this time I went to Belgrade for a company event.

I can't actually talk that much about this one because the main thing I was doing was cooking up game pitches for what we might work on next (kind of like a game jam but just for concepts), and while that was very interesting and I learned a lot about how to get ideas across in limited time and make judgements about what videogames might sell and how long they'd take to make and such... it is however probably not something I can talk in too much detail about yet, because we might end up making these games, so I can't be like 'the theme was x and we pitched y'.

so instead I will mostly talk about Belgrade! and show some of the photos I took that don't have game developers wandering around in them.

that's Nikola Tesla airport. did you know that Nikola Tesla was from modern-day Serbia (at the time, the Austrian Empire)? I didn't but I do now!

most of the week was spent in this fancy villa...

...which is called the Villa Saga Paradiso. it must once upon a time have been some stinking rich family's holiday home, because it's a super weird building, with such features as a pool table, swimming pool, tennis court, library, and even a weird kinda stage thing on the top floor. definitely full of weirdly shaped rooms and interesting old furniture, it felt kinda like a place a moomin might hole up. so here's some pics of the place.

also the view was kinda insane...

also! here's a pic of a Serbian snail that came out rather nice:

anyway on Saturday we went into the city centre to do some more touristy shit. I went to the two places in Belgrade that presumably everyone goes, namely the Fortress and the Temple. but I also got some shots of the city centre...

(also a tram shot for the trams girls in the audience)

so as you can see, the vibes of central Belgrade are p Southern European sorta architecture, lots of pale stone walls and tiled roofs and the like. but you also have these crazy cool looking tower blocks from the communist period...

...which were unfortunately quite hard to photograph out of a moving car window.

But yeah, we were on our way to the fortress.

Belgrade Fortress has a pretty storied history. At one point it simply was Belgrade; even after that, it's been occupied by variously the Byzantines, Turks and Austrians, who all made various additions and modifications to the fortress, and sometimes accidentally blew it up. Nowadays it's become a kind of park and tourist area, surrounded by the river, and thus some pretty impressive views...

as well as various things that tourists might like to look at, like statues of dinosaurs and tanks, and people dressed Historically.

apparently you're only allowed 30 images in a post, so let me make another one for the Temple, which was the craziest building I saw, and the butt statue...

Hello can i request a RoR characters specifically in Gods: poseidon, thor, hades, buddha, loki. In humans: Adam, lu bu, qin shi huang, nikola tesla, jack the ripper x tamayo!reader. Thanks!

-You are a powerful demon, but you abhorred violence greatly, to the point of viciously scolding those who would commit violent acts in your presence.

-Those who knew of you, knew to not only respect you, but you fear you, as your powers rivaled the gods themselves.

-Your knowledge over demons were unmatched, except by Beelzebub, whom you’ve worked with in the past to work on a medicine together that would work on demons without hurting them, as most medicines didn’t work on demons, or it would hurt them.

-Your research became legendary, and many gods had approached you for your skills to research new medicine and new medical techniques.

-You soon earned the respects of the gods themselves, as well as their wariness, when you saved several of them in an attack from remnants of the giants.

-This was, however, after you attacked the giants, slicing your arm open, using your blood to chant a spell that tore the giants apart from the inside out.

-After your legendary battle, where you showed a fraction of your true power and then nursed the gods back to health, you retired to your quiet home, tending to a beautiful garden and helping those who would come to you for assistance.

-Poseidon- You were the only one that he deemed worthy of patching him up when he gets injured. You were surprised when he showed up, holding a bleeding gash in his arm, being injured in a sparring match with Hades. You patched him up, tending to his wounds with expertise, cleaning up the wound as the two of your spoke quietly about things that have been happening in his kingdom. You were one of the few individuals that he tolerated, and to Poseidon, that meant he liked you, much like his brothers, to a point. A small strand of hair fell over your eyes and Poseidon brushed it back, his fingers brushing against you cheek, which made you smile only slightly. Once he was patched up, he pecked the back of your hand gently, his way of thanking you, before slipping something into your hand and left. You looked down into your hand, finding a polished Lapis Lazuli stone, his way of saying thank you, which brought another smile to your face.

-Thor- He was a repeat patient of yours, as he was constantly going out to fight strong opponents, finding none that could challenge him the way he wanted, but occasionally one would get a good hit in. He was sitting on a floor pillow, due to his height, as you couldn’t reach him, standing next to him, patching up a bleeding cut over his eye. He leaned his head against your belly, his eyes closing, and you couldn’t help but smile, patting his head gently, as you knew he was upset, he wanted a challenge so badly. He sometimes regretted his own strength, as now he had none that could challenge him. Thor had challenged you, only once, but you had refused so earnestly, upset at him, that he never asked again. He was in awe when he saw you take down the giants by yourself with ease, in awe of your power, but he knew that you only fought because you had to. He remained in your home for a while longer, enjoying being doted on, just for a bit, laying his head on your lap once you sat down.

-Hades- He greeted you warmly, coming in with his arm wrapped crudely, a violent wound behind the bandages. He enjoyed your attention as you carefully patched him up, demanding to know what had happened to him, he liked to see you worried about him, it meant you cared. He had been attacked by some younger gods who ambushed him, managing to injure him, but he handled them swiftly, reaffirming his power to those around him. He played off that his wound wasn’t serious, but as soon as he was alone, he quickly wrapped it up and rushed over to your place. He was leaning his head on his hand, propped up, smiling softly at you, “You’re very beautiful, you know that Y/N?” you smiled softly, the faintest color appearing on your cheeks, “I suppose I am, since you mention it every time you visit me.” he grinned softly at you, chuckling as you finished your treatment, healing him completely, leaving no traces of a scar. He pecked your cheek, but you didn’t mind, tilting your head up to his lips, as that’s what he normally did to thank you, the two of you sharing a soft smile.

-Buddha- He walked in, whining out your name, finding you enjoying some tea. You smiled over at him, “Another cavity, my dear Buddha?” he pouted, holding his cheek as he sat in the exam chair, grumpy before you got ready, gathering your equipment. You checked out his teeth carefully, finding the tooth in question and started to prepare your treatment for him, not berating him as when it came to sweets, your scolding’s went in through one ear and out the other. He noticed your own pained expression, worried for him, and he looked to the side, feeling only a bit guilty that he had upset you. You finished with your treatment of his tooth and he sighed deeply, no longer in pain before he stood and wrapped his arms around you, leaning down over you a bit, making you giggle, “You’re welcome Buddha.” He rubbed his cheek against the top of your head, “Is there things I can do so I don’t get more cavities, except for giving up sweets?” You were surprised by his questions before you spoke, “Brushing more, if you have sweets, once your done eating for the moment, brush your teeth and rinse your mouth out.” He nodded softly but kept hugging you, just for a bit longer.

-Loki- He slammed open your door, “Y/N! I’m in need of urgent medical attention and only you can save me!!” you giggled at his teasing as he found you sitting at your tea table, enjoying some tea and snacks. He was quick to collapse to his knees, turning over to lay his head in his lap, pretending to be in agony as he held his hand up to you, showing you the papercut on his finger. You giggled softly, not having the heart to berate him, as he was one of the closest people in your life, he was always visiting you and never failed to make you smile. You disinfected his finger, wrapping it carefully, “Give it to me straight Y/N, how is it? Am I going to make it?” you giggled softly before you stunned him, holding his hand in both of yours, pressing a soft kiss to his bandaged finger. You couldn’t help but smile down at him as his hands covered his face as he flushed, making noises from behind his hands.

-Adam- He trusted only you with the care of Eve, not trusting the gods, as he knew that you had once been a human yourself, being changed into a demon early on in history. They were both very kind to you, Adam patting your head like he was your father, as you bandaged up Eve’s knees after she had tripped, treating her with such gentle care. Once you finished you made her giggle by giving her a lollipop, which also made Adam smile before Eve hugged you gently, stroking your hair gently. Adam patted your head gently, “Thank you, Y/N. We’re glad for everything that you do for us. I’m proud of you, my doctor daughter.” His words always made you misty-eyed, as he always treated you like a human, not like a demon, it made you happy.

-Lu Bu- Your strength is what originally drew Lu Bu to you, but he was shocked and a bit annoyed that you weren’t a fighter, actually disliking fighting. You were the exact opposite of him, gentle and a pacifist, only fighting when you have to, while he was violent and always seeking out fights. Which meant he was a regular visitor to your home, needing treatment. Originally he was fine about not getting treatment, but Brunnhilde dragged him to you after he got into a very violent fight; he won, but he was pretty roughed up. Lu Bu came to you after each of his fights, not wanting to deal with an angry Brunnhilde, but after the first several… dozen… visits he started to look forward to his visits. You were soothing, he liked being with you, but at the same time he was secretly hoping you would agree to fight him, at least once.

-Qin Shi Huang- He practically lived with you, after you helped treat him after he lost his arm, he was in awe over your medicine, as you regrew his arm with your medicine and treatment. After he was healed he was glued to you, wanting to know all about you research and studies, finding it fascinating, constantly asking you questions. You didn’t mind, however, you found his enthusiasm endearing, as he wanted to learn as much as he could, all while spending time with you, laying his head on your lap while you answered his questions patiently. You were always calm with him, you were soothing, he almost always fell asleep listening to you, which made you giggle, he was like a child at times.

-Tesla- Research buddies for life!! As soon as he met you he was shaking your hand rapidly, basically shaking you, rambling as he was completely elated to have someone new to talk to about research. When you invited him over, he spent almost two full days awake, wanting to look at everything he could before you actually knocked him out, putting him to sleep. When he came to you scolded him as his head was on your lap, grinning up at you while you chewed him out for not taking better care of himself. He became a frequent guest at your home, not for treatment, but to research and to get some rest, as he knew that you would force him to rest, and you were the only person he was willing to listen to.

-Jack- You were the one to fight Jack passed out due to an injury, having taken a blow to the head by accident, and you hauled him back to your place and tending to his wounds. He was surprised to find himself in a young lady’s home, greeting you as such once he was sitting, thanking you for the tea, which made you giggle, “You’re so sweet young man. I’m much older than you think.” He was stunned to learn that you were a demon, but you were unlike anyone he had ever met before, be it god, human, or demon. You seemed to constantly radiate calmness, which soothed Jack, finding you relaxing, and you bonded over tea. He would bring English style tea and cake over for you to try, and you would prepare him Japanese style tea and snacks. He was a good friend to make.

When Nikola was young - when her voice first started to change - people had told her that she'd never be a Chorister with an Armour of her own.

Her swordplay had always been solid, but her uncertain tenor didn't make the metal sing.

When she faced the early auditions, she'd left the other tryouts lying in the dust during the duelling portion. Oh yes, her blade danced in the light and played a lovely beat of steel on steel; there was not doubt she could make music out of violence.

But then the Choir Masters would stare at her expectedly and set out the little engines used to test a voice’s Vibrato. The intricate little contraptions always stayed stubbornly unmoving - her voice could not fuel them.

This was not news to her, of course. She'd known for a long time that her voice was wrong.

It wasn't until later that she found the right people - the ones who told her what she could do to change. They recognised something in her - a hunger to take the song of her life and recompose herself.

They taught her vocal exercises. They introduced her to alchemists who hummed chemistry to quiet combustion. They helped her learn how to move and breathe from scratch.

This is the power of community as crucible. This is the magic of songs you sing round the circle and change one note at a time until the tune feels like you.

And when Nikola faced the auditions again and sang out in her sure-footed alto, then did the engines purr out the harmonies to her melody.

She rose through the ranks of the Choristers and - honour of honours - was assigned to the Royal Guard in the city of Solo.

When the day came for the Prince's coronation, she stood in proud watch atop her Armour. She looked down from the place she had claimed, at the city in which she had remade herself, and felt pride hum in her heart.

Then the Prince did not arrive.

Then she saw the smoke rise from the east wing of the palace.

Then she heard the crash of metal on stone and caught the traces of strange discordant notes on the wind - and she knew it for Engine-Song.

So she leapt into the pilot's chair of her Armour and she went to do what she had made herself to do.

Balancing real-life stuff so I couldn't do this over the weekend. So tonight here are my thoughts on Detective Comics #1087 (all of it, main story and side).

Cass's appearance in the main story is brief but still has a great weight around it. There's just something I love of Ram V where every small moment still has overtones to everything that's gone on in his run.

Every side character on this quest Batman has been through gets to shine. It hits me with utter 😄seeing the payoffs occurring in this run that have been built here or throughout other stories. These payoffs are just SOOO good and these aren't even the "end" ones.

For Cass, it's being her and just not giving up. STILL fighting, still honoring the bat symbol, and the legacy of the Batman. Aka reasons why we love this character 101.

ust the way she's introduced in the issue? chef's kiss

That extra added, "Oh they boned and know it." just by the added panel of Cass's eyes narrowing. SOOOOOO good I was little squeeing in gittiness at it. Something that's consistently happening since 2020. 😊

Likewise, you can feel that "ending" coming as Batman readies his schemes, the Orghams entering their's, Gotham too, and of course the twist we all saw coming given last issue with one other party throwing their hand too.

I'm really curious to where this all goes from here on out, and honestly I feel like a broken record but I cannot wait to see the payoffs. Like I know and feel these are all gonna be earned.

Oh sure, we might get a reset on some (Two-Face and Mr. Freeze), but man; Ram V's characterizations of both are leaving an impression on me. Something for me to continue spouting top of my lungs, "This is kino and enjoy the ride." to anyone who hasn't picked it up.

The art by Christian Duce and Stefano Raffaele is just 🔥 with the coloring by Luis Guerrero just stunning too. DC since 2020 has been killing it with the colorists they've got sprinkled throughout their books. Just makes everything the artists draw pop more.

What else can I say of the main story? Other than it just keeps delivering every month. But hey we're getting more kino with Ram V with the New Gods. That's gonna be great and curious to see where he goes with that.

The secondary story is something I've been hoping to see since the character showed up in this run, and that was some Jean-Paul Valley goodness, and not only do we get this here.

We get Dan Watters back on writing him. Oh sure, he couldn't get Nikola back, but hey Francesco Francavilla on it? Oooooh sign me up! Seeing his Cass was a delight at long last.

The story itself is just rooted in SOOO much back lore with Dick and Jean-Paul. You can take it as the perfect case to their history with one another (and it isn't pretty). I'm kind of glad we got this in the story to show this wasn't forgotten.

That this isn't just a united heirs to Bruce working together. There's still some stuff there from past that causes spite and mistrust (aka KnightsEnd).

In that regard, Dick is right to be this way. He's given Jean-Paul multiple passes and well every time Jean-Paul fell back to the conditioning he went through.

But again, Cass being Cass. Her coda is stone. "You can change. You can." Even when she was at the brunt of it too, she still that beacon holding for that hope this is the time Jean-Paul defeats his inner demons for good.

Again, it's a nice balance between the three characters. An actual reason Dick would be no trusting, and Cass being, "TRUST HIM." Given all she's been with Jean-Paul due to No Man's Land. I wasn't expecting this to be remembered on my 2024 comic bingo card.

That's something I wish someone would dig further into. That Cass could be that rock for Jean-Paul, kind of like how Steph is for Jason currently. Or Oynx was for Cass (kind of hoping that this is revisited on when she arrives in BoP) or currently Cass bonding hard with Barda.

Again, layers upon layers here. Why I enjoy this run currently for all of this.

Detective Comics #1087 continues the ride and makes me appreciate this run even more. Like, again this feels different to me. To have Cass entwined to a modern Batman epic?

Oh sure she has sprinkles in Batman runs or past Tec runs. But here? Not just the fan service appearance but characterization and history.

All the reasons why people love this character are all here. Leaving me ☺️🥺every single time I read an issue of this run. I can't wait to have the whole thing collected and just read it all.

Gonna be great.
