Prompt 296

Through a series of miscommunication, the League is now under the impression that Batman, strange cryptid that he is, may or may not have given birth to the other vigilantes running around in Gotham. This was not helped by Bruce referring to all of his children, no matter how big they get, as his babies. Nor was it helped by Red Robin, in the middle of a narcolepsy-fueled imminent crash, mentioned how he had no mother. 

It also doesn’t help that no one is aware that they are in fact completely normal people, and not aspects of Gotham itself brought to life. Though really that’s on the bats themselves, because at this point they should at least count as undead.

If we think about it, Megatron must look anemic to the rest of the Cybertronian race.

Edited to add the tags on the post since I was told not to hide them :3

explained to someone my GREAT idea of fic where Regent Frigga murders Odin and then rules through her sons, and how this cannot ever be written because such a move would be way too bold and decisive for a woman destined to get fridged in the second movie :(

trying not to talk too much abt the bear s2 but im Really fuckin frustrated that even with everyone demanding that they’re sooo media literate and sooo smart that no one has talked about claire and the way she sparks audience discomfort. like, she feels out of place within the show because CARMY cannot accept that he is getting this good thing—she feels out of place in HIS life. she’s actually crafted to be the ideal girlfriend, with glowy bokeh lighting in a grocery store and beauty shot close ups and a sweet instrumental leitmotif to show to you, an audience member, that she’s too good to be true in carmys eyes. if you’re an audience member, she raises alarm bells in YOUR head because she raises alarm bells in HIS. he literally tells us that—that’s the crux of his final monologue, that he doesn’t believe he can have the life of food and wines best chef and a life of love and human connection. he doesn’t believe he’s deserving of good things because his family has always been so fucked, because nothing he’s ever tried to hold together has held together—except for his cooking. it’s done this way on purpose, to make you feel that anxiety that he feels around this relationship, and to make you question why you feel it too

qbadboyhalo died…. qbadboyhalo died On Screen. qbadboyhalo died on screen and was forced to make a choice between a home he hasnt seen in thousands and thousands of years, and his children. qbadboyhalo died crying out begging for his son to live. qbadboyhalo chose to live. qbadboyhalo lied to people about how much he was hurting. dapper hid from his sister to have a breakdown over his father’s death in private. qbadboyhalo’s body was a hundred blocks or less from them for most of the day. dapper is looking for that same body at the bottom of the ocean. i am unwell.

Best flavor of Lawlusan: Law and Sanji having a conversation about Luffy that keeps tipping back and forth between “He’s so reckless and stupid sometimes it literally makes me want to tear my hair out WHY is he like this why does he never listen I cannot STAND him” and “God I love him so fucking much. He saved me. He saved me and he’d do it again and again if he had to and I still can’t believe I’m lucky enough to have him. And to have YOU”

ep 4 magprotocol: a summary

[where-the-water-flows]

like on the one hand, obviously di feisheng wouldn't have been at all surprised when the first (second third however many were sent after him to their deaths) di assassin came for him, because he's im/ex-plicitly doing what he's doing (best at sword/founding the alliance etc) to keep himself safe from di fortress, and you don't do that unless there's, y'know, something to keep yourself safe from.

on the other hand. killing other di fortress kids clearly fucked him up! it was not something he wanted to do or enjoyed doing, it was something he was grimly doing because it was that or die, and also under threat of the mind control bug/ringing bell torture. even when he has amnesia, his nightmares feature him begging to know why they have to kill each other.

literally as soon as he physically can, he goes back to di fortress to free the other orphans, and when he's storming the gates, he very clearly uses nonlethal tactics on everyone between him and master Di. He bowls those kids standing guard over, but they show up at the end at the back of the crowd getting freed like everyone else, not really looking that worse for wear considering the second most powerful man in the jianghu just rolled through them.

so. how fucked up you think he was when he had to fight - and presumably kill - another di fortress orphan, after he'd escaped. after he thought he was free of it, after he thought that he was out?

the later ones, sure, it's awful but at that point it's sort of a numb horror of 'never quite free'; the first one, though, after however long of not having to do that, after maybe even convincing himself that he can just bide his time and get strong enough and no one will ever make him do that again, that between his skill and his (in)famous identity and maybe even the fucking alliance he's formed he's almost safe, that he's as free from the fortress as he can possibly be with the bug still in him....

and then he finds himself locked in combat, again, with another kid who knows the feeling of ringing in his bones and who knows that the only way this fight ends is with one of them dead at master Di's command.

(bonus round: how grimly grateful was he to be able to free the ones sent after him, even if it was through death - he at least could make it fast, make it...clean, ish, for a death in combat.

make it almost kind.

how long has he spent his life with that as the shitty back up/consolation plan - if he can't find a way to deal with the bug in him somehow, the knowledge that at least maybe he can get a few of them out from under the control of the fortress, even if it's just via the edge of his dao)

HELLO I AM ALIVE

So I know I haven't posted in like a year but @diedfromembarrassmentlikeasim and I were discussing this fic and then it spiralled into this discussion

Spread the himbo Bruce agenda folks

The most valid Bruce is the Bruce that goes from having a 100 life skills to 0 in one second. Look at him.

He knows how to hack into his FBI agent's computer. He doesn't know what red onions are. He can't kill people but he can kill houseplants like a professional. He knows how to create antidotes to any virus or poison. He doesn't know how to make tea without burning the mansion down.

Alfred has no hair and this is why.

i say this as someone who loves the lotus: the fact that there are people who love the lotus but hate teshin is unreal to me. and it's always exclusively because he didn't somehow magically know that she was brainwashed and wasn't nice enough to her before he knew she was brainwashed, just that she was someone wearing the tennos' dead mom's face and keeping them completely in the dark about not only her origins but also theirs. oh you love lotus because she underwent horrific trauma and loss of autonomy and is trying to navigate after having her world ripped away from her in the only way she knows? that's crazy, that's teshin's whole deal too. you love lotus because sometimes she makes mistakes but she's a deeply compassionate and selfless person at her core and everything she does is a testament to her love for others? that's crazy, that's teshin's whole deal too. you love lotus because she'd risk anything, including her life and her entire self, for her kids? that's crazy

Batman #148

Jason is too popular for it to be permanent trust !!

[imissthembutitwasntadisaster]

and listen feels very brave of the bear to say actually our protagonist who in season 1 we were trying to root for is in season 2 currently the worst person in the room! and it's not entirely his fault but it sure is in many ways and he's going to have to fix that! and you're still expected to root for him to get better! and I do! they're right!
