why is it that when artists change something about damian to make him more individually recognisable its always an irrelevant detail.
you can give him a middle part but you cant give him brown skin? idk! maybe its just me but with every feeble attempt to modern white boy-ify we stray further and further from damian being damian, characters change and evolve all the time both appearance and story wise but with damian it seems artists/writers just want to culture purge him and call it character development
btw thats not to say I hate the hair exactly I love a middle part dami as much as the next guy but you can definitely tell what theyre trying to do by white washing, sticking him in the new suit AND giving him robin default hairstyle number two

A general tip for students who are sending those dreaded Religious Absence Emails to your professors: Rather than asking permission to take the day(s) off, politely let them know that you will be taking the day(s) off.
In other words, consider not saying this:
"May I miss class on [date] so I can observe [holiday]?"
It's not that there's anything wrong with the above, per se. But because it's phrased as a request, it risks coming across as optional — a favor you hope to be granted. Problem is, favors are not owed, and so unfortunately asking permission opens the door for the professor to respond "Thanks for asking. No, you may not. :)"
Instead, try something along the lines of:
"I will need to miss class on [date] because I will be observing [holiday]. I wanted to let you know of this conflict now, and to ask your assistance in making arrangements for making up whatever material I may miss as a result of this absence."
This is pretty formal language (naturally, you can and should tweak it to sound more like your voice). But the important piece is that, while still being respectful, it shifts the focus of the discussion so that the question becomes not "Is it okay for me to observe my religion?", but rather, "How can we best accommodate my observance?"
Because the first question should not be up for debate: freedom of religion is a right, not a favor. And the second question is the subject you need to discuss.
(Ideally, do this after you've looked up your school's policy on religious absences, so you know what you're working within and that religious discrimination is illegal. Just in case your professor forgot.)

I kind of don't like how a lot of people forget that despite all the angst and the drama around Dean and Cas they are fundamentaly best friends.
How many times did Dean say it throught the entire show? Bobby in season 6 saying "Well, you just lost the best friend you ever had."
For Bobby to say that, knowing Dean better than even Sam in some regards, how many times had Dean been sitting with Castiel on the couch in his living room?
Cas doesn't sleep, and rarely does Dean, with the Apocalypse looming right behind him.
So all they had left, in those quiet nights were each other.
And they were okay with it, because they liked each other's company.

Danny’s room has much more personality than the rest of the house- vintage NASA posters are hung on the walls, clothes are scattered haphazardly along the floor, and a laptop being held together with several strips of duct tape on top of a pile of partially finished schoolwork. There are polaroid pictures of him with his friends, set lists and posters from concerts. The red suit from new year’s is still in its dry-cleaning plastic and hanging on the inside of the door.
Tim’s looking at the glow in the dark stars on his ceiling, and when his eyes drift back to Danny, his shirt is off over his head.
Tim’s mouth goes bone dry.
Tim being thirsty about Danny part...... one... million? but I mean, can you blame him? Look at how Pretty he is.
Chapter 24 of Better Halves (and other such falsehoods) is up and I've been sitting on this piece for AGES waiting for it.
