sorry i was quiet i’m just thinking about a young dick grayson finding out how the robin mantle ended up hurting everyone who took it
peter, when tony tells him to go back home and not fight the dangerous space aliens because he is a child who shouldn’t be putting himself into harm’s way:
something that stood out to me while reading sotr is just how unreliable of a narrator haymitch is, and specifically in how he views himself. he mentions how he isnt smart repeatedly, and i almost accepted that as a character trait because it’s so often said, but his actions show otherwise. he knows the repercussions of carrying lou lou while in the arena, he just doesnt care. he isnt stupid, he’s brave. “a hero is a person who fights for liberty instead of settling for comfort.”
rest in peace Maysilee Donner, you would have loved... all of it. you would have loved all of it
Peter, through the radio: on 3 cut the gray wire, ok? 1..2..
Tony: wait, I don’t have a gray wire! I have red, green and yellow.
Peter, scratching his head: that’s weird. I have light gray, medium gray, dark gray.
Tony: you do?
Peter: fuck. my bad, I forgot I’m colour blind.
Tony: you’re WHAT?
Peter: doesn’t matter, just cut the middle one.
Tony, slightly panicking: it DOES MATTER! My middle one could be different. The wires are all twisted!!
Peter: on 3..1..2..
Tony, overly panicked: PETER, STOP
Peter: *rolling his eyes*
Tony: wait, I’m coming to you.
Tony, running to him: point to the wire you want me to cut.
Peter, showing him: this gray one right here.
Tony, heavily breathing: okay, by the way, it green, kiddo.
Peter: ohh.. which one is red?
Tony: the one in your left hand.
Peter: wait, which one is that? I’m also dyslexic.
Tony: how. did I. not know. THAT
i love when you can tell that an author is including their all-consuming interests in their writing because there will be a paragraph about a random bacteria species and it’ll be completely accurate and irrelevant and i love it
actually i love the reveal that the only reason effie got involved with the hunger games at all was because her little sister needed her.

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."
