Some spoilers for The Secret Hours
“Look… what name they got you living under now?”
“Max.”
“Max. Jackson Lamb.”
“Nice to make your acquaintance, Jackson Lamb.”
“Look, this one here’s Cartwright Jr. Try to only hold it against him with one hand, cause with your other I’m going to need you to keep him out of trouble. Unless you’ve got…standing arrangements to play bridge, or whatever it is the old and useless do.”
“It’s chess in the park, actually. But I’m sure if my hands get full, your lad here can move a pawn or two for me. Can he read a chessboard?”
“I’m not even convinced he can read.”

"When the past meets the present, the present always wins, but the victories are fleeting, mere technical knock-outs. The present wins every battle, but the past always wins the war."

i really was fooled by this "standalone" nonsense (well alright it is standalone but it would be not nearly as fun if one hasn't read the main series) lol familiar faces, or rather voices on every turn
this is a prequel (well alright not a prequel, a backstory inside a side story), and Jackson Lamb's fart by any other name would smell as horrid

Whenever Bill sees KingOfNJ's fics through Stan's eyes he just thinks they have the same taste in fanfiction (disgusting. unthinkable) continued
#Alex Hirsch saying Bill is a secret lowkey fan of Duchess Approves is the funniest thing ever actually#Stan to Bill's face: FAKE FAN. LOSER. POSER#Stan to the internet stranger with aggravating yet thought provoking takes: I think I WILL spend 5 hours on Ao3 gleefully debating this guy#anyway secret identity. enemies to lovers. slow burn 500k- jkjk potential is there tho. don't tell me its not#Theoretically the computer room whitelist shouldn't let Bill contact the outside world but the therapists are thrilled Bill made a 'friend'#Stanford has no idea but is also happy Stanley has a friend.

Much is made of the frostable glass wall in First Desk’s office - and not just in this book. But they are rather cool. I attended a workshop of sorts I guess you could call it, somewhere they had one of those. Definitely one of the more amusing aspects of the day :p

Does the JL know that YJ has just casually been beefing with darkseid??
imagine there’s a all hands on deck battle against darkseid and everyone is there but darkseid points out the nearest yj member (it’s probably Bart) like ‘you!!! You managed to escape with your lives last time but this meeting will be our last’ and for a split second Clark’s so fucking confused bc we haven’t fought in years wtf are you talking about then he hears ‘oh shit, look it’s Doug’ and everyone turns to see Bart nudging Kon going ‘he’s talking to you…damn he must still be mad about the coal’ and kons shoving him back bc ‘you were the one fucking around with his coal, you fucking walnut’ while Cassie’s being scruffed by wonder woman bc they’re trying to avoid being around when the jl finds out and tims having a very intense silent conversation lecture about why tf there’s at least half a dozen yj mission reports that mention an assailant named ‘Doug’
then Constantine shows up with Greta and everyone (including darkseid) starts yelling and if you don’t know her Greta seems like the one with the ownership of the braincell in yj (she is not but I guess she looks like it from a distance if you squint) which goes one of two ways:
retired-civilian!greta is giggling and waving excitedly to each member of yj along with hal before she practically tackles each of them in a tight hug while the titans, jl, & jl: dark lose their collective shit bc Constantine brought a tiny civilian dressed in pastel floral prints from head to toe into an active battle with fucking darkseid, a civilian who doesn’t register as a threat in any capacity until she makes eye contact with darkseid and gives him the most disgusted look imaginable “Doug… you look…well.” and then like three jl members have to stop her from leaping at darkseid while Hal’s like ‘no! No no, bad Greta! We don’t fight supervillains with…what is that?? I really fucking hope that’s not a gun…Is-is that fucking silly string?! Greta no we don’t silly string supervillains! We’ve talked about this!’
or
never-retired!/recently-out-of-retirement!greta who does the same thing but when she notices darkseid she rocks his shit in eight seconds flat and starts muttering about ‘that fucking Doug, always ruining my goddamn day’ and Hal is the first one to recover from the shock/confusion but only to tell Greta she’s grounded which gets another irritated ‘fucking doug!’ while Wally and Barry are losing it at Mach 6 while Bart tries to explain himself also at Mach 6, Cassie manages to catch Wally’s exasperated ‘where the fuck did you get Doug from?!’ And responds with ‘Apokolips’ in a tone that means they’re questioning his intelligence which leads to more screaming bc ‘so you knew who he was?? Why didn’t you come to us??’ and they all back up Kon when he claims they told Lex bc that means they have at least 3 hours of freedom while Lex is getting yelled at by the jl (and honestly every cape over 24)

BART!#Bart: I’ve never crashed the ship! Kon was racing supercycle and HE crashed it!#Wally: WHO GAVE YOU A SHIP?? WHO LET YOU DRIVE IT??? What fucking moron-#Bart shrugging: idk some guy maybe?? Or I found it?? This was forever ago 🤨#More than half of the jl go home in distress and yj gets the most attentive helicopter parenting for the next eight months#Tim ends up spending at least 12 hours going over every case that mentions a Doug seven times with batman

Thinking about Tim and Cassie as narrative reflections of each other -- about how they both started out as normal kids with no obligation to their mentors, good kids who just wanted to help, and how gradually, bit by bit, that choice they made as thirteen-year-olds lowkey ruined any chance they had for a normal life
#it's 'thinking about the consequences of the amazons attack' hour again#like. y'all cassie was wanted by the government. she literally didn't have a secret identity anymore so she had to live under a fake name#her mom had to flee the country#and even before that she kept on getting kicked out of schools because administration thought it was too dangerous#to have wonder girl publically attending their school#i feel like tim's life-ruining abilities are well documented at this point. but ugh cassie.#they way they reflect each other#tim drake#cassie sandsmark#cassandra sandsmark#red robin#wonder girl#young justice#young just us#dc comics#gnome talks comics#meta#timcassie
