Question.

Does the Batfamily have contingency plans for each other???

Like when Tim inevitably goes supervillain/rogue, does the Big Bat bring out the ‘How to take Tim ‘resident smart guy of the birds’ Drake down and contained’ and it just includes a lot of sleeping agents and whatnot to make the guy sleep the caffeine away and turn normal???

If Dick goes bad, they just bring out hugs and affections and just hope the guy calms down becomes a big bro again and so and so forth?????

What about Babs??????? HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH A MASTER HACKER?????? ARE THEIR CONTINGENCY PLAN JUST…… BEG THE WOMAN????

DOES BRUCE HAVE A CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR HIMSLEF????????????????

Sith! Obi-Wan: Is it even possible?

Sith! Obi-Wan is such a fascinating concept to me, because it’s so unlikely. Like frankly it feels even less likely than Anakin’s redemption, and that redemption being so incredibly unlikely but still possible is literally the thing that makes the OT so powerful. Like it’s baked into the premise.

And Obi-Wan falling can’t be impossible, because that would take all the narrative power out of him always choosing good. But like, this man has literally had everything happen to him, and he doesn’t turn. He has moments where he has to recenter himself, but he always does it. He’s such a wonderful balance of “constantly looks like hot shit” with “but on the deepest level of his soul he’s untouchable.”

It should be impossible.

But I believe it at every turn.

People aren’t fucking around when they describe him as one of the best Jedi there ever was.

So I am fascinated by the idea of a Sith Obi-Wan, because what could possibly turn him?

Not torture, not loss, not grief, not losing his padawan, not having to fight his padawan, not beliving he’d killed his padawan, not finding out he didn’t kill his padawan, not watching over that padawan’s kid for twenty years, not death, not war, not walking away from Satine, not Satine dying in his arms, not losing Qui-Gon Jinn, not Dooku’s best efforts at temptation, not the genocide of his people, not being set on fire, not the existence of the Death Star, not twenty years of being a hermit, not Melida-Daan, not whatever Xanatos was doing, not every atrocity the Empire ever committed,

But it can’t be impossible, because he’s still a human, he’s not the Force itself.

I’ve read some Sith Obi-Wan fics, but they’re all either unconvincing on this point, or have to resort to saying, “Obi-Wan is a Sith but he’s not evil,” as though that isn’t the contradiction of all time (No shade to these fics, not everything needs to be perfectly convincing, and I’m not against writing a character in a certain way just cause of the aesthetic. I know how to use the back button; I kept reading cause I enjoyed them overall).

I just.

I don’t know. Do people have ideas? Theories? Fic recommendations?

Cause my only idea is an Obi-Wan who has literally never heard of the Jedi and was raised from an infant as a Sith and barely resembles the Obi-Wan we know at all.

Why do ppl think Mike looking down during Byler conversations isn’t romantic like what do you think Mike is looking at…to see if Will started growing facial hair before him or something 😒 Anti-bylers genuinely what do you think Mike is looking at when he looks at Will’s lips cuz he doesn’t do that with ANYONE else

I understand completely that at the end of the first season Jayce and Viktor's relationship could be seen as platonic. I understood it- but now? After what I just finished watching with my own two eyes? That is gay behavior. The queerest of queer

hello newsies fans! so I’ve spoken to a couple folks about writing sprace, but in my research I haven’t really found anything outside of fanon? is there any fanon newsies lore im missing out on? why exactly do we do sprace?

btw im not judging at all— love the ship and the art and the dynamic, just curious as to the origins

I'm starting to get more and more confused with every House episode. Why everyone is always mad at Wilson for not knowing what furniture he wants? I have literally no idea what furniture I would want, I would just do the same as him and buy smb something they like 😭😭😭

[galac-tica142006]

CUB what do you mean by this huh😭😭😭

[friends-arent-electric-blog]

Okay, I have to ask this, as a pretty new entrant into the D:BH fanspace, even though it's very embarrassing to admit I don't know considering I'm chestnuts-deep into writing a monster of a fic, but

Who is 'Nines'?

I mean, I understand from context it's RK900, but where did that name come from? Is it from someone's fic? Who started using it first?

Also, I swear I had no idea about 'Nines' when I named Five. I guess androids just lend themselves to numbered names that way.

I imagine what would be hanged on Jason’s (secret) wall. Rebirth outlaws has him use a hair straightener I swear hahaha. Let’s pretend n52 Starfire/Kori never existed….I love her and N52 really did her dirty, though I appreciate Roy and Jason as friends. I also want to draw Jason with bombastic side eye, so here it is 🙉

Ugh idk much about Roy cuz I didn’t know him prior to his Red Hood/Arsenal era but characterization aside, I like the friendship part, the other things that were/are being retconned seem horrible from what everyone is saying (i admit I haven’t read too deep into n52 outlaws ever since I got to the part where Kori decided to ask Roy for sex because that shit was terrible, so I also dunno much about the n52 outlaws) but eh, would be nice if Roy is kept as he is before n52 and still be friends with Jason y’know

Edit: I added a shaded version bc I wanted to 😭 and yes, such a Dick Grayson has literally been said by Jason in the comics lool

would someone here mind explaining citrus shipping to me? or why it's called that

Hello I’m frightened to admit that i still do not know what the “I’m bald” option on tumblr polls means

[das-a-kirby-blog]

you kin mk AND you're a popular metadede fan, right? perfect.

thoughts on metasusie? not my fave tbh but i'm okay with it and trying to prove a point to a person who bullied my friend.

do not care for metasusie but the fact y'all bully real people because of a fictional ship is wild to me 😭

[xlocalkatzx]

something i never understood about dreamtale

how is dream SUPPOSED to win?? i mean, technically, (from what i know!) in canon, Nightmare has like 999 lives, teamed with Killer, and can only be harmed by dream himself.

Dream has 1 life, and teamed with Swap. (99.8% sure this is true)

Listen ok. I love Swap. but.. up against someone with an lv of 19 or more, im not quite sure theyre "equals" in the end?

not to mention, hes still got his own AU?? he has his own things to do???

i dont know, its just a thought. i've always seen so much about dream and nightmare fighting and whatnot right. it always seemed like there was a crazy power imbalance??

ESPECIALLY in the "fanon" versions i see with this literal 5v3 they got going 😭 (IM NO HATER!! love that one too)

[definitelynotsipandshare]

i don't understand this logic. wdym there's no way they didn't notice? even if the photos were staged, people literally didn't notice while it was happening. he was right there and literally no one came up and said hey i saw jq at the dc concert today. they were walking in soho and not a single person tweeted that they saw jq and dc holding hands. wdym no way? how can you stage thousands of people not to react? are you guys delusional enough to believe that everything from the concert to the pap walk was shot in a studio with actors or...?

Hate a moment like this, coming back to the doc and realizing I have no idea how Hector was supposed to finish this sentence.
