The Best Spider-man

Hmm actually Lucy Gray is different from Haymitch and Katniss and Peeta because her tragedy is she caused the games to continue. If the games hadn't become entertaining, they wouldn't have continued and she made it entertaining because she was an entertainer - she saved herself but she doomed dozens more because she performed too well and it allowed the Capitol to make the games a performance in the later years. Haymitch's tragedy is that he couldn't end the games, Lucy Gray's is that she continued them.

there is so much tony will never know because he died before he could learn it. he’d never know just how much the avengers meant to natasha. he’d never know how much ruin EDITH brought peter. he’d never know steve went back in time and got to be with peggy. he’d never know just how similar to him morgan is. he’d never know that thor adopted a girl. he’d never know how much better clint got.

he’d never know any of this, and he never will. but everyone else will remember why he sacrificed this knowledge.

sotr wasn’t nearly as nuanced as the other books, but i feel like that was intentional. it was meant for a broader audience, one who may not be able to pick up on the subtle meanings and hauntings. it was a very centralized point, unlike the others which explored a variety of topics, because collins didn’t want a single reader to miss it. in thg, everyone focused on gale vs peeta. in tbosas, everyone focused on coriolanus. she wanted to avoid this cycle of ignoring the point in favor of the romantic relationships or “hot” characters

this is the baby they insisted was a threat :(

im just saying trump and general ross have sort of similar mannerisms and speaking patterns

are we going to get an orange hulk next?

Finding out that Lenore Dove used orange to show her protest and rebellion against the Capitol only for that to be Peeta's favorite color. I am feeling some kind of way about that let me tell you.

i just realized “embrace the probability of your imminent death” is a wyatt callow reference

I've had this idea rotating in my head for a while about a specific scenario in a universe where nobody is ever clued in on the fact that the bats are related. They just assume that Robin, Red Robin, Red Hood, Nightwing, and everybody else just coincidentally happens to be Gotham (+Bludhaven) based like Batman is.

Do me a favor and imagine the aftermath of some stage five hall hands on deck crisis where everyone and their team has to gather for debriefing and for medical care. Everybody shows up with their respective teams, Nightwing with his Titans, Red Robin with the old members of YJ, Red Hood with the Outlaws, Batman with the JL ect ect.

Everyone is super tired from the battle and none of them are even given a moment to breathe before Red Hood and Red Robin start beefing on sight. Before anybody can even think to intervene, Nightwing, Orphan, Spoiler, Robin, and Signal join in and they all just start bickering at one another.

Everybody thinks they're about to fight. Like seriously start hashing it out. Thing is, YJ are RR's ride or dies. If RR starts fighting Nightwing then the YJ are gonna fight Nightwing. And then the titans are gonna fight the YJ because those are Nightwing's ride or dies. Same goes for all the teams and their respective leaders.

Everyone looks across the room going, "Am I gonna have to fight you? Man, I don't wanna fight you." They could not wanna fight because of the prior battle, out of respect for their potential opponents, or because they know that opponent would whoop their ass. But they'll still do it because that's their leader.

Eventually all of them stop their bickering, suspending the room in tense silence, as they stare each other down. Everybody is bracing themselves for the first punch and the JL is preparing to break up the fight, but instead the silence is broken by all of the birds turning their heads in one direction and yelling, "Daaaaaaddd!"

The room is dead silent enough that everyone can hear Batman's exhausted sigh echo through the room before it's followed by, "You're all grounded."

It's frustrating that you can come up with the plot of an entire fic in just a few seconds, but writing it all down can take anywhere from never to forever.
