Talk shit about Stolitz all you want, but do not ever say that Stolitz is toxic in the same breath as saying you prefer Striker x Blitz for not being as toxic because what in the ever loving hell are you smoking if you think one is better than the other?!!! SHIP WHAT YOU WANT BUT DONT SLANDER ONE SHIP AND THEN SAY YOU PREFER AN ARGUABLY JUST AS FLAWED SHIP???? DONT YOU ACT ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY

(ship what you want girlies, im not shaming ships here im just saying the irony was fucking hilariously POTENT)

as a chronic pain guy who always has something new wrong with him, like some kind of tendonitis hydra where every time i fix one joint another starts to fail, i have a lot of big wet-eyed opinions about baz's vampirism being maintained rather than cured and separate but similar ones about his leg.

[its-all-papaya]

was just reading a fic that made me think about the fact that i work daily with athletes in a sport where ice baths are very extremely common, and i am just now imagining what would happen if i was ever like 'hey guys, we're sending cameras with you today!' like. it's insane that f1 teams just do that.

....idk in a fandom this gigantic how are people already coalescing onto a handful of popular headcanons and scenarios that just become the baseline now, when the source material gives us literally limitless possibilities to work with

[scarlettfevor]

The only thing I want to add to pro ship / anti ship / whatever ship discourse is that if you're gonna be pro ship at least own that shit. Like I remember when I was in genshin people who shipped Diluc and Kaeya would always talk about how it was ok to ship them because they weren't brothers, even though they were explicitly called brothers in canon, like, several times. (at least in the eng localization) Idc if you ship them but at least pretend like you don't care if they're brothers instead of telling such obvious lies

[borealopelta]

i can't fucking do this anymore i fucking hate it hereeeeee

[impulsivedecisionsat3am]

either i can be an icon and make a final research project on trump x biden yaoi, or i can be really petty and make it about executive dysfunction and it’s negative effect on musicianship and then discuss it during band class so my teacher will overhear me talking about it

One thing that frustrates me sometimes is that the premise of the original RHATO team joining up together would not... take a lot to be made into something actually decent. Respect for the characters, really. Keep Kori's amnesia, keep Roy's isolation, but nudge the script a little:

Jason is vaguely familiar to Kori, because canonically they DID meet at least once when he was Robin (ignoring n52's everything tbh, the continuity still confuses me sometimes esp when some writers couldnt decide whether ot not 52 was a reboot or if they were going to keep referencing prior shit), but she doesn't remember, just has vague vibes and maybe he can help her with that if they knew each other? And Jason could try to help with what he can but he barely knew her, really. He's agonized bcs the only person he knows who might maybe help is Dick and he's Very Deliberately Estranged from the Bats.

Enter a tip from Talia. Maybe Jason reached out asking about the Titans, maybe she knows where he is and came to the conclusion that interacting with non-Bat heroes that he had a decently positive relationship before his death would be beneficial to him.

Roy's been off-grid since some time after Lian's death, pushing away everyone and deliberately running headfirst into things that could kill him. They're planning to televise his execution, but don't want to risk him getting rescued before that, but they can't hide from her spies. It solves a lot of problems then, doesn't it? Jason and Kori rescue him and he can help her with her memories and/or get her back in touch with the rest of their old team to help and Jason doesn't have to deal with any Bats himself.

But then they don't leave.

Kori's pretty content as she is, with people who know and have been helping her. Her memory loss isn't exactly life-threatening or anything and she's not in any hurry. Roy took one look at the two of them and came to the conclusion that he could help here, help both of them, and they won't judge him for what he's done or try to force him to reconnect with anyone before he was ready to face them/reality (if ever).

And Jason? Jason's a wounded animal snapping at anyone and anything that tries to come too close and covering up his own issues by fucking with shitty ppl & ruining their day. It's a bit of a challenge to make him chill out, but neither of the other two are afraid of that and he's already done all this to help them so why not return the favor?

Jason's the "leader", not because he's more qualified to lead a team but because he needs the feeling of being in control. There's only three of them and there's enough power & experience between them to compensate if anything goes off the rails & Roy's fluent enough in Bat from all his history with Dick to nudge Jason a little to the left if he has to. It's halfway between babysitting and a vacation.

(Amusingly this gave me the mental image of Roy & Kori in beach gear slurping colorful mocktails and Jason running around on an adult-sized child leash.)

You could even keep Roy/Kori, build it up slightly more, ect., ect. Just make it an actual relationship & not turning Kori into a sex doll lmao. I mean they were friends! Even without Dick they were friends with Each Other! & sometimes friendships can get sexual or turn into relationships!

None of this fixes like the racism & such in a bunch of the plot but that's a speech for whole different post I think, and I'm honestly not sure if I've got the chops to redesign all that. At the very least, it would be too big of a distraction from everything else I'm already easily distracted from working on lmao.

Not gonna lie, I really love crossovers so one of my first thoughts while reading Clipped Wongs was ‘what would happen if canon verse bros met CC bros?’ I imagine Leo, Raph and Mikey would not take it well, even if they knew everything that happened was because of a curse

i think it would start out very appalling for all of the canonverse bros, mostly because so much has been like. aired out from the events that went down in CL and forward, pretty much all of them were GUTTED for all of the things theyve gone out of their way to keep hidden because of this. unveiled all of their little complexes. got their metaphorical entrails ripped out. they're going to come out stronger in some ways and more fragile in others, like i think they'll be a lot more communicative/close but there's a lot of soft spots. with donnie especially, although that's obvious

but after that i think they'd soften and be more understanding. canon donnie (cv? i'll just use cv for shortening purposes) would probably even reframe the way his OWN brothers see him, seeing how the pain they inflicted on cc!donnie experienced influenced them all. and i think it would be unnerving to see how they all look at him like they're looking at a ghost (cc!leo especially...). he never had his entire identity shattered, i think it would be difficult him for him to process the depth of that pain

and imo i feel like cv!leo would find cc!leo uhhhh Uncomfortable. like WAOW that is a little too close to home, too vulnerable, bro chill. ESPECIALLY if we're talking pre-movie (little tangent but i always think its weird when people make leo get super closed off after the movie in fic because it feels antithetical to like. the themes? whatever. i think it'd make sense for him to be a lot more open instead of hiding behind all the bullshit like before, although he has some new things to be stressed about. honestly i felt like the point of all of that pain was for him to be a better communicator)

cc!donnie would probably find the cv alternatives of them a lot more comfortable because its a glimpse of normalcy. i dont think they'd treat him like he's made of glass or get weird and overprotective, which is a trap his brothers in cc are going to fall into even long after things have blown over (theyd go so ballistic when he's hurt!). and i think they would know how to handle him a lot better because they're not clouded by this intense guilt-driven bias, although i think their demeanor would gentle exponentially the first time they see him freak out/have a flashback. its a fun thing to think about frrr

The great thing about purim is that you don't have to worry about pronouncing the bad guys names correctly. Like. Why should we care if you say their names wrong. Hell, we explicitly blot out haman's (BOO) name.

Which is honestly great because I was invited to read a portion of the book of esther yesterday and was sooo worried about sounding stupid
