Idea that won’t leave me alone: one of those Bruce adopts all his kids as Tinies AUs where toddler Jason is two and his favorite person in the WORLD is his big brother. But he’s just barely learning to talk so when he says his brother’s name…in comes out as “Ick.”
Leading to—
Jason: Icky!! Icky!
Four-year-old Dick Grayson: I’M NOT ICKY!
Jason, insistently: ICKY!
Dick, getting progressively more upset: STOP CALLING ME ICKY!
Jason: No! Icky!
Dick: No! YOU’RE icky!
And escalating until they’re both crying—Dick because Jason won’t stop calling him icky. Jason because his big brother won’t play with him.
This happens at least once a day. Bruce is so tired.
one thing about me is i AM going to get angry and annoyed the SECOND i see anyone claim tim drake is an underrated character/robin/batfam member
that boy is one of the MOST loved character i have ever come across, he was hugely successful after jason and the first robin to get his own solo run
that is not an underrated character
now my son duke on the other hand
we as a society need more tim drake and damian wayne brotherly bonding
Y'all, I think that the shonen fandoms I enjoy need to up their hurt/comfort smut game. Like, half of these characters have tried to kill themselves, and the other half have had to pull them from those cliffs with their own bare hands. You're telling me that jokey gratsu fucking is the best you can do? Have you considered the amount of feels you can put into that shit? Gray and Natsu have both lost a ton of people they care about, and now you have the opportunity to write a couple of stupid possessive boys going at it and you're gonna JOKE THE WHOLE TIME?? I want the "I will show you how much you mean to me, I will make you understand. I would crawl inside your ribcage if I could, I would eat you alive if it kept you safe." I WANT THE FREAK SHIT. I WANT THE DYNAMIC OF "you're the only one who can cool me down" AND "you're the only one who can keep me warm"
IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK
The union busting firms are scared
this shit fucked me up
Superman is literally the character of all time, what if we made a guy who just loves the entire world. he loves the entire world so much but he's different and he has to hide so he's deeply lonely. he comes from a planet and a people he can never truly know because they're all dead. he isn't mean or bitter but he is always angry because he sees injustices happening and it hurts him. and what if we made him able to hear it all constantly. also he loves flying and collecting weird alien creatures and he's powered by the sun.
hate solas or not romance him or not whatever like. i dont understand how he doesnt drive everyone CRAZY as a character.
like. have you ever just sat and thought about. what it must be like. the trauma. the shakespearean sadness of being the only person that remembers DEATH not being a thing.
and you feel so insane because youre going around telling people “no you dont understand the world as it exists now is fucking horrible people used to not DIE.” and theyre like “its fine as it is just let it be and let us live and die as we are”, desperate for you to acknowledge their personhood. Meanwhile your entire race is the victim of genocide and slavery and cultural erasure, what little magic remains in the world is shunned and mages are systematically imprisoned for being fucking born and people die of old age and its because of you. and now its your cross to bear to atone for ALL of that and justify to people that the world could be better but no one else knows anything different so they dont get it and just know they dont want to die.
And so the only way you can cope with the trauma of that is by treating the world and everyone in it like it’s a bad dream.
Its just so existential. It’s like what if you could talk to God and ask him why he made the world but he was just some vaguely pathetic dude and his answer was “it was a mistake and i regret it every day”.
there is nothing more attractive than a man who reads.
A movie scene that has always stuck with me for some reason has always been when a young superman either gained/lost control of his x-ray vision. The panic, the horror, the overwhelm... I dunno, something something sensory overload and autism. You feel me? I relate too much to superman and he wasn't even my favorite hero as a kid. Maturing is getting attached to superman.
