The German teaser trailer is bad at keeping secrets.

Apparently in German Ambessa say, "HALF of your council is dead" and "You will avenge your mother".

She's talking to Caitlyn!!!!!

And just like that Mel's survival is more assured ^_^

Cassandra: my vibes arent off i am cursed theres a difference

[a-confused-spoon]

Not to be a hater, but Cassandra didn't give a shit about Zaun and it's a bit weird everyone forgot about it.

It's a common theme when it comes to Piltover, how it's never about actually helping the people but rather looking like you are. That whole project was about her legacy and how it'd make her look like.

Think about it:

In the first act of season 1 enforcers had to wear a mask to breathe properly, meaning that the air was absolutely NOT clean at all- as a matter of fact Silco, of all fucking people, says very explicitly in ep 7 that he was the one who gave them oxygen

Cassandra took one good look at Vi and immediately referred to her as "a stray", aka something lesser than a person

Cassandra's first reaction to seeing her wounded daughter who's been missing for a day and came back with a zaunite was "sweety, you do realize how your silly actions reflect on the Kiramman's house, yes?"

Cassandra did NOT defend Vi or Caitlyn's case at the audience she scheduled for them, the only thing she managed to say was "look at my daughter getting unique info for our problem!"

Cassandra was still a corrupted politician who lost her absolute shit when Jayce came forward with the independence deal for Zaun

One document with her own claim about wanting to help doesn't change any of this.

I'm also not surprised at all that Caitlyn's first reaction is "Oh, this is something I can use", since she was the first in line to call her mother out on her bullshit; she knows DAMN WELL that the whole document about the ventilation system isn't about the people in the Undercity, it's there for her, next leader of the Kiramman's house specifically to see, and most likely use.

I'm all for the nuanced conversations surrounding Caitlyn, but I will never care nor like Cassandra OR the rest of the council (except Jayce, Heimerdinger and Mel, who all went through their journey about getting out of their problematic mindset and influences).

The fact that Caitlyn finds out about the ventilation system her mom made to help the zaunites have clean air because she thought that they deserved to breathe, and Caitlyn immediately weaponized that against them?Simultaneously demonstrating the dark path she is heading down while also implying that Cassandra would not approve of the path her daughter is going down.

going absolutely feral of the idea of core four young justice quickly learning that Robin is at risk of kissing whoever is closest to him after they all survive a long fight and subtly trying to make sure that they’re the one who’s in grabbing range when it happens (Tim just thinks they’re all suddenly worried about him because he’s human)

the girls, the boys, they all want robin

(this is so sketchy and messy, but the intention is what matters)

(prev / next)

[superbat-lmao]

A “buddy” vigilante story where Jason and Tim go back in time during Dick’s time as Robin, when the Worlds Greatest Detective was still young.

Basically, they significantly change the past and in the most annoying way possible. Tim knows that no one will know it was them and has been pretty morally flexible about the whole thing. They go down the list of rogues, down the list of siblings, bickering about it the whole time.

Jason kills the Joker, Tim rescues Cass, and both of them try and get one over on the other about their past selves.

Because Tim tries to talk baby Jason into stealing the Bat’s tires early while Jason’s out murdering Zucco, and Jason’s out snatching Tiny Tim and his camera from rooftops trying to leave him gift wrapped in the batcave while Tim’s out stealing info from Luthor.

It’s one giant clusterfuck but they’re successful because Tim and Jason combined are absolutely lethal and no one ever saw them coming.

Meanwhile, they keep running into Robin and absolutely losing it over seeing their oldest brother so young and angry.

Dick tries to track them down after they killed Zucco, he wants to ask why. What the hell they could possibly be doing or why that would matter to them.

Tim pushes Jason off a roof.Jason lights Tim’s ancient computer on fire. Tim tears a book in half. Jason takes pictures of Tiny Tim and sets them as his wallpaper. It’s a comedy, your honor.

And probably the worst headache Batman will ever get.

everyone panicking over Cassandra Clare saying a character we met in the first three tmi books will die in the first twp book 😭 which is understandable but I felt like we should keep in mind the book is literally called The Last King of Faerie and we first were introduced to the Seelie Queen in City of Ashes.... like shes kinda doomed it has to be her I fear

[casscainmainly]

So in Spirit World there's two separate panels that show Cass' family/loved ones. The first I think is more circulated:

The second is this one:

These line-ups are probably different due to space/convenience, but to overanalyse these panels for a bit, it's interesting who's present in which. Bruce, Steph, and Babs are present in both - makes sense, they're the most important figures in Cass' life. Steph is front and center in both, suggesting she really is Cass' favourite person ever.

Bruce is relatively big in the top panel, but much smaller in the bottom. The top panel explicitly is about "family," while the bottom is about people who "know and love you". Bruce becoming smaller suggests that Cass thinks of him as her dad, but the 'knowing' and 'loving' part isn't as secure for her. (This is probably not intentional but reflects their dynamic very well, particularly post-Cass being sent to HK and her unresolved feelings about that).

Babs is pretty big in both, and I love that she's Oracle here (the wheelchair in the bottom panel!!). This makes total sense - the time when Babs loved and cared for her most was when she was Oracle. Cass probably still sees and remembers her that way.

Onto the interesting stuff, which is Duke being missing for 'family' but present for 'know and love you'. I think he should be in the top panel, but maybe he's too new for Cass to consider him family? Everyone in the top panel is from the bg 2000 era, so Cass might think of that time as her true 'family'. Anyway, the fact he makes it into the bottom still shows they're close, and that Cass considers him someone who understands/'knows' her.

Dick and Tim being present for 'family' and missing for 'know and love you' is so fun. Tim maybe should be present in the bottom, but recent canon hasn't made them as close as they used to be (in BG 2000 and Red Robin). So they love each other, but not to the extent of anyone in the bottom panel; he's still definitively family though.

Dick is the same, but there's a lot more sibling rivalry and complicated feelings there. It makes total sense for Cass to see him as a brother, but to not think he 'knows' or 'loves' her all that much; they do get along, but I think they remember their mistakes with each other and think the other person still holds a grudge (they don't). Peak Dick-Cass dynamic to me!

So if I had to rank Cass' favourite people in the Batfam according to these panels, it'd be: 1. Steph 2. Babs 3. Bruce 4. Tim and/or Duke 5. Dick

hmm

hmmmm

[rookamell]

Ignore me I need to yell for a second about the almost kiss because I just watched it again and I might have gone a little crazy with the screenshots

Ok so we have Lucanis sauntering over acting suave. Because he is.

But then look how genuinely Happy he is to be there too! Look at how he's looking at Rook! Look at how much he likes them!!

^she has never been more in love btw. He makes her stupid. The wall lean has put her into a catatonic state.

Then obviously there's the look at Rook's lips. I do find it interesting that this happens After Rook touches him so it's not the touch that makes him hesitate. The touch only spurs him on.

Bonus I caught the face scrunch

And then look how close they get!!! I didn't even notice they got this close!!

Devastating. His eyes are still closed when he pulls away. He wanted to kiss them so fucking bad. I have very many thoughts on what might have happened here but I'm saving them for the fic. This screenshot made me take psychic damage.

Like look how much effort it takes him to pull away. He Knows he's hurting Rook. But also this has to happen, because he's not ready. I do always wonder if he's like... taking it upon himself to try and protect Rook from themselves a little bit too? 'At least I know I'm doing it' -> Rook might like me but they don't know exactly what they're signing up for so I have to pull back for both our sakes rn. Also I don't think Spite had anything to do with this. All the other times Spite said/did something it was a lot more jarring. I could be wrong tho that's just my interpretation. It's even worse when you compare how happy he just was! And he's not letting himself have that happiness!! Lucanis!!!

Homocide
