Think About It

Random Wish Highschool AU

(Watch this guy's video, it's great, despite the talk of Christianity. I'm not Christian, but this guy knows what he's talking about, tries not to be redundant, and just generally has a pretty good video essay/analysis here).

That high school musical comment at 26:40 hath struck me with inspiration.

I now declare an au where a bunch of high school characters convince their grumpy teacher's wife to join their play/musical where Grumpy Teacher is the bad guy. It's very corny and it's supposed to be, because the wife only agreed to it as a cute joke on her husband.

The bad moments are intentionally bad, played straight, and people in the audience laugh because they know it's a joke on their teacher.

The plot is flimsy because the students weren't trying to write a good play, they were trying to make their class and school laugh.

Grumpy Teacher is grumpy about it at first, but comes around to it (he loves his wife so much).

(Because of the library in the movie, I'm gonna say he's an English teacher).

He takes the whole thing in good humor and uses the shoddy play as and assignment and/or final project, challenging his students to create a compelling story, and every rewrite that you've seen on the internet is a student's assignment.

He does this project every year now, and those student's little joke goes down in history.

What’s Your Favorite Non-Color?

Ex. sunset, ocean, galaxy, etc.

My pfp is my favorite color which I like to call Supernova. If you go to my account, my background thingy is also a space-y thing. That's my second favorite color, Nebula. Yes, I have grown out of saying "Galaxy (blue & purple)" is my favorite color but... space, y'know?

But there's always THOSE kinds of people. People who say shit like “tHaT’S nOt a cOloR” FINE! Non-color! It's my favorite non-color! *Gasp*

So now I go around asking people 3 questions: What's your favorite color? What is objectively the ugliest color? there are 3 correct answers. (Beige, Khaki, and Ecru. Even u weirdos who like beige or Khaki have to admit Ecru is disgusting.) & What is your favorite non-color?

So?

You do have a point, but I have seen some instances (fanfiction) where it’s done right. Where most of that is true and they still show her vulnerabilities without it being toxic, or putting other characters down. It’s really just about how much nuance is in the writing. How many layers.

And you’re right, not everyone would have Oracle feeding them info, but I think the BatFam would, depending on how close they are. I also just love crack fics where the Justice League thinks that Oracle is a computer program that Batman has made for the Watchtower in meet the Bat Family fanfics.

But you’re right. There’s no way that she does everything for everyone. Unless someone contacts her and says, “Pleeeeeeese help meeee” for whatever reason, she would stick to her territory.

Now the idea of her being an untouchable goddess just seems like a fun play at her name. You can have character dynamics with old jokes that say things like, “You dare disrespect the All-Seeing-Oracle?! Our Goddess?! You, young one, are doomed!” and it’s just a freakishly large blackmail folder.

And I do like the idea that she’s very smart. A better hacker than most. Being trained by the Batman only to exceed his teachings. Not that she’s omnipotent, but that she could get into practically everything, except for things like Lex Luthor’s hideouts for example.

But all that aside, that comes with good writing. When she becomes a one-dimensional, untouchable god character only there because of some shoddy representation of people in wheelchairs who can be anything they want to be, it’s an issue. When you have a story centered on her and don’t show her having imperfections, insecurities, or problems with certain aspects of life, she’s no longer a character. I do like Babs and I do think she can be used correctly. But when she’s just a means to an end, she’s no longer a respected part of the cast. And that’s not ok. You can show a strong character without putting the other characters down, and she can be strong in spite of her struggles.

TLDR: Babs can be written good cause she’s cool, but making her one-dimensional and/or hateable isn’t right and just kinda annoying.

My Opinion about Barbara Gordon as Oracle.

Oracle is a great character. Don't get me wrong.

My issue has nothing to do with her disability but more on how her writers and fans brag about her job and position in the DCU in an arrogant way.

I've met a lot of toxic barbara gordon fans who think she's an untouchable goddess who everyone has to worship and who thinks she runs the entire universe.

Again Oracle is a great character but I don't like it when her writers and fans ignore, sideline, and dumb down other dc characters to prop her up.

I think she's a bit overhyped and her role is over-exagerrated.

let me explain.

Her fans think she's the brain of the DCU.

I disagree with this.

Barbara is smart but I refuse to believe she's DC's no. 1 most smartest character when the Brainiac Family, Lex Luthor, Detective Chimp and Mr Terrific are right there.

Her fans think she's the one and only tech support and central hub of information for the entire dc superhero community.

Who gave Barbara this title?

In what world where 10 billion+ people exist, is it possible to only have 1 person capable of using technology and providing information to people.

I don't think Barbara is that special.

There are plenty of DC Characters who know how to use a computer.

Who know how to research.

Who know how to hack.

Who know how to communicate with other heroes.

Who know how to use technologies

The Brainiac Family, Lex Luthor, Cyborg, Mr. Terrific, Danny Chase, Bruce Wayne, Tim Drake, Luke Fox, Blue Bettle, Green Arrow, Atom etc.

and Governments exist in dc too!!! There's literally Amanda Waller!

Batman has the Bat-computer in his Batcave

The Titans have a huge computer at Titans Tower.

The Justice League has the watchtower which has even installed highly advanced off world technologies.

You expect me to believe these characters don't use their own computers and resources and just wait on Barbara to hand feed them information???

Why are her writers and fans ignoring all these other intelligent tech users and information brokers in DC?

Why are they making Barbara the center of their universe.

Reastically, A lot of characters don't really need Barbara to do things for them.

They can do what she does.

A lot of DC teams have fully functioned and stood on their own without her help.

Her fans always say she's a huge part of the Justice League and Suicide Squad.

Yes she is a member but she's not an integral part of those teams and I'm sorry but she's not easily remembered as a member of those teams. She's forgettable.

Nobody knows who Oracle is outside of comics.

Oracle doesn't even exists in multiple Justice League and Suicide Squad cartoon shows and movies.

Again Barbara is a great character but her role and importance is over-exagerrated.

And I don't know if this is the right word but she looks like a cloutchaser to me since she's often shoehorned into other character's histories and into other teams she has nothing to do with to maintain her relevance. Worse she dumbs down characters along the way to justify her presence.

just like What Tom Taylor did in the Titans book when he shoehorned her into their team despite the fact that she's not a Titan and she's not needed. They literally already have Cyborg for tech support 🙁 what's worse is that Cyborg got sidelined to make her look more useful to the team.

Again I don't hate Barbara.

I just don't like the constant bias towards her.

I do think Barbara is Gotham's information hub, but I don't think she's the queen of the entire dc universe.

Overall i think she's better on her own with her own original supporting cast because Every other hero she touches gets dumbed down to prop her up including Dick.

Dick is an intelligent detective and he's also a good hacker. He's even hacked an alien computer before but the second he gets paired with Barbara, he stays away from technologies and gets dumber so he can be the himbo muscle and she can be the Brains behind their operation 🙁

Rexanidala (This is Only the Beginning- You WILL love themmmm)

Anakin: Fuck. Padme. I think I’m in love with Rex.

Padme: Rex is quite a handsome man, and he looks so cute when he tries to lie and he takes such good care of his brothers and-

Rex: Fuck. I’m in love with my married general. Padme’s very strong and pretty too tho-

They’re already breaking a bunch of rules when it’s just the two of them. What’s a few more?

LANCE BRUNER!! <333

I HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE!!!!

(I think. I choose to believe that)

When I had first discovered this hidden Batfam character, (before the the batfam was really a concept! (This little blond shit existed before Jason Todd!!)) there were about 8-9 fanfics of him on AO3. All published months or YEARS apart.

I made my first post on Lance in early October of 24 and my second post on Lance (and Duke because Duke) in early January.

We went from 8-9 to 12!!! (It's probably a coincidence) There are somewhat recent ones too! From this month!!!

Lance content hath expanded, if only slightly, and thus, the world hath changed for the better.

I have a fic rec for Harry Potter

Warning: This fic is incomplete and posted anonymously.

With that out of the way, this is one of my top 5 favorite fanfics of all time, ever. It’s the only Harry Potter fic there.

The character that changes the most here is Draco (and Pansy), but everyone else is slight enough to be believable. It’s their choices and relations that change the story. (Like most good fanfics)

Now, there are no ships, but if you’re a fan of Dramione or Pansmione or Drarry or even Ronmione, you could definitely read it with those in mind. All the characters have very interesting dynamics with each other.

The houses thing: You won’t be able to unsee it.

Without further ado: Harry Potter and The Year That Four 1st Years Solved The Inter-House Unity Problem

Or Part 1 of A Ravenclaw, a Hufflepuff, a Gryffindor, and a Slytherin walk into a bar....

(I was on Reddit, someone asked for Harry Potter must reads, so I commented this. Thought I’d share.)

Who is Red X?

So first off, I loved Teen Titans (2003). I can openly admit that I am very biased to it, and incorporate it into my personal complicated au. In Teen Titans, Dick leads them as Robin. So lets talk about Jason, and how Dick becomes Nightwing. (In my au)

"Red X is Jason Todd!!" No. Red X is clearly Grant Wilson. It makes the most sense. He calls Robin "kid" implying that he is older, has a similar fighting style to Slade (because we know he and Robin are similar), and most importantly, Jason would not die and come back to find Dick in the Robin costume. (Unless it's a reverse au).

So since Robin leads the Teen Titans, still Robin despite not being in Gotham or with Batman, why would he become Nightwing? Here is my answer.

Dick finds a newspaper article about Batman and Robin in Gotham. Recently. He hasn't been in Gotham recently. There are speculations on why there are two Robins.

He goes home to confront Bruce, and finds a child that looks just like him, in a previous version of his costume. He argues with Bruce, he visits Clark, hears the story about Nightwing and Flamebird, remembers that one episode where Starfire went to the future, and returns to Jump City as Nightwing, unable to take Robin away from the kid, officially giving up Robin to Jason.

Jason doesn't any of know that and believes he has always lead the Titans as Nightwing.

(The newspaper is also a parallel to how Dick found out about Jason's death :D)

Do with this what you will.

I can't unsee it.

They probably don't even realize their gay and when they do, it takes them even longer to realize they're gay for each other.

"We're just besties! R U saying you don't cuddle w/ your bestie? Or do each others make-up, dress up, hold hands, sleep in the same bed, help undress, gossip, do each others hair…"

The Lesbian Vibes TM are immaculate.

I would like more of Them please.

Don’t try and tell me Lavender and Parvati weren’t those 90’s “It Girls”, I will only disagree with you..

For Femslash February

Slick Headcanons (and subsequent characters)

Instead of being executed, he was/found a way to get locked up in Coruscant prison.

When Boba Fett is arrested, Slick is the one to save him from getting executed/sent back to the Kaminoans. Somehow.

Slick is also the one to save Dogma from getting decommissioned or reconditioned, instead gaining a prison mate.

Boba has some sort of familial relationship with them, if only because of proximity.

Slick and the Coruscant Guard have some sort of understanding. (This is a different post about my au that will eventually exist).

Dogma doesn’t really warm up to Slick until he gets news of what happens to Tup and subsequently, Fives.

All three of them survive, and later have varying levels of closeness with Rex and “others”.

There’s more, but that’s a different post. This stuff can pass in canon. The rest are more… au-esque.

New headcanon tbh

Spider-Man (Peter Parker) is crazy strong, right?

Poor guy would probably break every stress ball in existence, without even trying.

So, hear me out: Custom made Vibranium stress ball!

He could probably put some kind of slime coating or smth to make sure he doesn’t cut himself on sharp metal, too.

With the added benefit of looking super badass to anybody watching/finding out what it's made of.
