Mafia AU with the batfamily, but it starts when Jason comes back as the Red Hood.

In this AU, Dick is the first one to find out about Jason being a crime lord. He finds out that his little brother is alive and running a gang and says "fuck it."

Is Dick currently a police officer and vigilante? Yes. Does he also immediately quit his day job to join Red Hood's gang as soon as finds out? Also yes.

Dick has a second chance with his brother. Is this brother a little murderous? Sure. Dick's tried to kill people too, though. Also, Dick is 83% sure Tim's got a kill count. It's fine.

So Jason is confused why Dick is willing to join a gang. The oldest brother says some cringe worthy stuff about family and Jason takes the action as the proof of love and loyalty it is (also, somehow Dick is just as terrifying to their enemies as Red Hood, but Dick doesn't kill them).

Tim, upon seeing Dick join a gang, instantly researches the hell out of this group. He finds out it's Jason, runs the stats for how crime has dropped in Crime Alley, and instantly starts working behind the scenes to create a smoother path for them. Without meaning to, Tim becomes the shadow boss for Jason's gang. The brothers are not aware that the other gangs, mobs, and rogues are wary of whomever it is that's smoothly guiding Red Hood's gang to success.

Red Hood is the face, Nightwing (though maybe a different moniker) is his right-hand man, and there's someone steering them to victory.

The startling efficiency of the gang and quick ascent drives Bruce into a paranoid bender. The man also has no clue where Dick wandered off to and why he's ignorning Bruce. Tim, as Robin, pretends to try to help Batman take down this group. This causes mass amounts of confusion because no one is aware that Tim is helping Hood besides Tim himself.

When Damian first appears in Gotham, he doesn't immediately go to Wayne Manor. He stalks it first. And what does he find? Tim is apparently shadow controlling a major mafia in Gotham.

As some convulted plan to dethrone Tim from Robin (and also because Damian is not aware that shadow controlling a gang is against Bruce's rules [like how he doesn't know murder is a big no no]), Damian decides to infiltrate Jason's gang. At first it's rocky cause Jason doesn't want kids in that line of work, but Damian being Talia's kid (and the chance to provide Damian a better childhood) has Jason and Dick adopting the child. They try to keep the runt out of the work as much as possible.

They all (minus Tim) grow closer until one night Damian overhears Jason lamenting to Dick about how the Joker is still alive. Jason hates that his father never avenged him.

Damian decides to fix that by killing the Joker.

When Dick and Jason confront Damian about this, he reveals Tim is controlling their entire mafia from the shadows.

Okay team, because what is a fandom without a flower shop and tattoo shop AU? The obvious setup would put Edwin in the flower shop, and Charles in the tattoo parlour, but I’m here for subverting tropes when I can, so I present to you Tattoo Artist Edwin Payne, and Flower Shop worker Charles Rowland (who would appreciate it if people could stop referencing “It Ends with Us” please k, thanx).

First of all, this AU is beautiful because it means Charles can be a regular who gets Edwin to do all of his tattoos. I want this boy covered in tats.

Second of all, this AU is beautiful because it begs the question of how Edwin accidentally landed himself a career as a tattoo artist. One day he was visiting his friend Niko, who lives above a tattoo shop run by the scary goth lady, the next thing he knows he is 5 years into a surprisingly successful career putting ink on people’s skin.

But Keir must have known, too. And said simply to Rhysand, “I want out. I want space. I want my people to be free of this mountain.” “You have every comfort,” I finally said. “And yet it is not enough?” Keir ignored me as well. As I’m sure he ignored most women in his life.”

Wow Feyre, what a wild thing to say after leaving your ex over being locked up in a mansion.

I think something that for me really sets aside Jack & Joker from other Thai dramas is its narrative structure. Thai dramas usually have a very simple narrative structure where things just keeps happening without a proper flow - I mean, something happens, it gets resolved, and then something new happen that keeps the story move; you know, all those little problems that aren't really all connected together (like, the main characters get together and then someone new appears that comes in between them; or it turns out that, idk, the family was homophobic all along, or that one of the characters actually had a complicated relationship with their family - things like these that are disconnected).

Maybe it's because Jack and Joker has a pretty solid and complicated plot, but something that I really love about it is the way everything that happens is connected, everything is a direct consequence of the characters' actions. It's like this since the first episode until the last one - the plot is brought forward by the characters' actions, everything they do has consequences on everything and everyone else. Like, Joke seeks Jack's forgiveness, so he wants to steal the ring for him, and he works with Tattoo and Hoy -> Tattoo steals the necklace which causes problems for everyone -> they need to steal the necklace back -> Jack meets Rose again, which causes everything else to happen, etc etc

Everything is connected. And I think it all comes back to one of the series' themes, which is that everything we do has consequence, that even if out intentions are good we can't predict what our actions will cause; that we live in a community and that we cannot think about ourselves only bc every time we do something that can end up influencing someone else's life. that we can't be selfish in a community.

Is it just me or does Black Spy have a hearty appetite?

Here is a compilation of Black Spy basically having a healthy appetite (usually to the point of fault):

And this last one, of course, is probably the most disturbing food related prank/trap, which I had exposed in a previous post:

We all knew exactly where this was gonna go...

Anyhow, this makes me wonder why Black has quite a bit of a healthy appetite. I mean, we all know he has fallen for food related pranks on multiple occasions, especially in a few of the strips from one of the paperbacks (specifically "The MAD Fifth Reports of Spy vs. Spy," which was later reprinted for the first portion of "Spy vs. Spy Casebook of Craziness," except for the "Spy jr vs. Spy jr" strip from right at the beginning of that same paperback book). Apparently, some say that Black may not be getting paid enough (considering that it has been shown that his boss has put him through hell on at least a few occasions; *cough*Doggie Bagged*cough*). A few might say that the dude probably just likes food, plain and simple. Both of those assumptions could be possible, especially the first one. Either way, this makes me think that there might be a possibility Black Spy could probably be a potential candidate for the Big Eater trope (at least during Prohias's era, of course), to the point of fault that is. I wouldn't really be surprised as the images I provided basically say it all, or at least most of it.

Bonus:

(Taken from "Danger! Intrigue! Stupidity!" which is, of course, a reprint of "The All New Secret Files of Spy vs. Spy.")

The images of the Electric Spaghetti were screenshots taken from MADtv. That short was originally a one panel opening gag a little over three decades prior during the strips' early years.

I do not claim ownership of any content. Spy vs. Spy belongs to the defunct MAD magazine and Antonio Prohias.

"'BLACK MARKET' IN COAL CADI TO BOOST PENALTIES," Toronto Star. October 14, 1943. Page 2. ---- Jails Driver 60 Days When Load 896 Pounds Short ---- OFFENCE PREVALENT ---- "A" Police Court, City Hall, Magistrate Browne. "Stealing coal is a very prevalent offence and is increasing all the time. Citizens pay for coal and do not get it," declared Magistrate Browne in sentencing Jack Russell, a coal driver to 60 days in jail on a charge of stealing coal from his employer.

Mannis Frankel defence counsel, pleaded with the court to reduce the sentence. "There is a black market in this city, and if stealing coal continues I am thinking of increasing the penalty," replied his worship.

Fred Downer. city inspector, stated that at a house on Applegrove Ave. where accused delivered a load of coal, "I measured and weighed the coal and found it 896 pounds short."

Russell claimed he delivered all the coal that was on the truck. "I did not steal any," he said.

George Shelley admitted stealing an overcoat from a parked auto, and was sentenced to three months. The accused was seen taking the coat and was chased by a citizen and handed over to the police," testified Det. Roy Perry.

Four years in penitentiary wan the sentence given Michael Berenda, [PICTURED, RIGHT] who pleaded guilty of wounding Mrs. V. Hapichuk, causing her bodily harm. Complainant said accused had been molesting her for some months. "He wanted me to live with him. I refused. He said he would kill me. On Aug. 4 I was on my way to work with another woman and was beaten up. I was in a hospital nine weeks," she said.

George Patterson stated he was leaving his home on Maria St., Oct. 4. "I saw the two women." said witness. "Then I saw accused strike, one over the head with a hammer. He hit her a second time and she fell and he hi her again. I chased him and he pulled out an open knife and slashed his throat. I called the police.

Dr. D. P. Philip said Mrs. Haplchuk received two skull fractures and other injuries.

M. Frankel, defence counsel, said accused cut his throat.

Charged with stealing radio parts from their employer. Hishashi Fududa. Charles Kadota and Yukin Watanabe, Japanese, pleaded guilty. Histoshi Moriyama, also a Japanese, admitted stealing two electric motors from his employers. All were remanded to Oct. 21 for sentence.

Sergt. William Martin stated he found about $200 worth of radio parts in Kadota's room. "In Fududa's room I found $20 worth of parts and in Watanabe's room radio parts valued at $55," he said. "They all admitted taking them from the radio firm where they were employed. In Moriyama's room I found two motors he said he stole," said witness.

"There is no suggestion they were going to send messages or anything," said T. Elmore, defence counsel. "They are efficient workers"

"They are efficient thieves," said Magistrate Browne.

DRIVES CAR ZIG-ZAG ---- D Police Court, City Hall. Magistrate Pritchard. A fine of $25 and costs or 70 days was imposed on Norman Claridge, who pleaded guilty to careless driving.

Constable Ella testified he had observed accused driving in a zig- zag manner on the wrong side of Fleet St. early today. There were four persons in the front seat of the car and accused had been drinking and was in no condition to drive, the officer said.

"If the two pedestrians had not quickened their pace, or if they had stopped walking until I got past, I could have cut in front of them and the accident would have been avoided," declared Pte. Themas Walker, who pleaded not guilty of dangerous driving.

Testimony disclosed that Jack McLean, 38 of Shafisbury Ave, had died of injuries on Oct. 3 after having been in collision with a motor- cycle driven by accused on Sept. 29 at Weston Rd. and Northlands Ave.

George Devano said he and Mr. McLean were crossing from the southwest corner of Northlands Ave. and Weston Rd. to the east side of Weston Rd.

"I was slightly in advance," he said. "Mr. McLean took a more diagonal course. I observed a motorcycle and automobile a block away. The first Intimation I had of the accident was when I heard the motorcycle sliding on its side along the pavement behind me. No warning signal had been given, Mr. McLean was lying unconscious."

Witness did not think the motorcycle had been travelling at an excessive rate of speed.

"I find there was an error of calculation on the part of accused in Judging progress of the pedestrians crossing the street, and I find that accused is guilty of careless driving. The penalty will be $35 and costs or one month," said his worship.

IGNORES ARMY CALL ---- C Police Court, City Hall, Magistrate Prentice. "The letter was delivered to your home and there was no reason why you did not receive it," commented Magistrate Prentice, sentencing Maria Priola, to 30 days in jail for failure to report for military service.

Douglas Morrison, chief of records for selective service, said accused was ordered to report for military service on Aug. 27, but so far as he knew had not done so.

Joseph Spalla, mail carrier, said he delivered a registered letter to accused's home about two months.

Priola said he did not receive any letter during the past two months. "I did not do any dodging aaround," he said. "I have now joined the army and am supposed to report today."

Gerrard G. Dennis and Charles M. Conron, jointly charged on three counts of breaking and entering, pleaded guilty. Both were remanded to Oct. 21 for sentence.

"Conron was on three jobs, while Dennis was alone on the rest," said Detective A. Morrison.

"They seem to have a penchant for French doors," remarked Crown Attorney Malone after the detective recounted how entries were made by breaking a glass in French doors at the rear of the houses.

"Dennis has a long, bad record. but he has been helpful in connection with these thefts, and has served four terms for exactly the same kind of thefts." [AL: Berenda was married, with no kids, a Polish immigrant with a poor mastery of English, and worked as a factory hand at the same place his victim worked. He was convicted of wounding. He had no previous criminal record. At Kingston penitentiary he was convict #7473 and worked in excavation, but was transferred by January 1944 to the low-security Collin's Bay Penitentiary. From there he was paroled in late 1945. He never came back to prison.]
