they're so grown now
Batman: Remember, we’re on Justice League business. Be on your best behavior
Robin!Dick: Watch yourselves, everyone! Batman: This applies mostly to you
Robin!Dick: Oh- You bite ONE guy and suddenly no one trusts you! Batman: You bit his finger off.
Robin!Dick: I SPIT IT BACK OUT-
Justice League: *stare in concerned silence*
Miss Piggy's response to misogyny and fatphobia is physical violence and I think we should all take something from that
Eddie graduates, finds himself a shitty job that he keeps getting promoted at, and now he’s the manager.
That’s how he found himself wearing a tie, sitting across Goddamn Dave, the district manager, being told that he has to hire one of his friend’s kids, “And the kid’s friend, they’re a pair apparently.”
Which…what is this? Chain store nepotism? It’s bullshit.
“The kid’s not all there, head injury,” Goddamn Dave tells him. “Go easy on him.”
Then it turns out the kid isn’t even a teenager looking for a summer job. It’s twenty-something Steve Harrington from high school??? With a dog. And a lesbian.
“Service dog,” Steve says when he sees Eddie looking at it. “A dog with a job.”
“More of a hobby,” his friend - Robin, Eddie recognizes her - says. “He doesn’t get paid. His name is Steve.”
“His name is NOT Steve,” Steve - human - scoffed. “His birth name was Steve. He changed it.”
“They’re twins.”
Eddie does not roll his eyes into oblivion because he’s a goddamn professional. He just rolls them to the back of his head where Gene Simmons reminds him that if he wants to rock and roll all night, he needs to be employed.
He informs them of their shift schedules and barely gets through Steve’s when Robin says, “We have to work the same shifts. It was on our resume.”
Steve adds, “Also, we need to leave early today.”
Eddie thinks, goddamn Dave.
Steve Harrington showing up to Hellfire made sense.
He knew the kids. After The Incident of which they Do Not Speak Of, he knew Eddie. There was a friendship there that was pulling him into Hellfire’s orbit, and the elder members followed their leader's cues when it came to jocks who had decided to redeem themselves and evolve into beloved town hall heroes.
Showing up to Corroded Coffin’s recently restarted band practice required a bit more adjusting, but it was fine.
Everything was fine.
Steve showing up in the middle of a heated, completely nonsensical argument with Eddie, was also, unfortunately, growing to be something normal and fine--but arguing over Jeff specifically?
That was a little harder to ignore.
“That’s my Robin.” Eddie had started, pointing sternly towards Jeff as he marched up Gareth’s driveway.
Steve rolled his eyes.
“You already claimed Gareth as your Robin, you can't also claim Jeff.”
Yes I can! Because I have two--no, no, three!” Eddie counted on waiving fingers, “I have three Robin's, Grant’s one too!
Jeff blinked, before turning to his other bandmates. “Any idea about what this is about or…”
Nope.” Gareth refused to even look at the duo arguing. “And I don't want to know.”
“Okay then.”
“They each have different specialties,” Eddie was animatedly arguing, having stopped in the center of the garage to square up to Steve. “So combined they make up one Robin.”
“That's not how that works!” Steve loudly scoffed, arms winging out in a way that disturbingly, looked like a move he had copied from Eddie.
He got a smirk in return. “Don't be mad because I'm more popular than you are these days, Steven.”
Oh now they were approaching dangerous territory-- Eddie was getting smug.
A smug Eddie, Jeff knew, was an obnoxious Eddie. The kind of obnoxious that refused to let things go and claimed victory over random bullshit. The type of obnoxious that would take weeks to kill, with them all suffering through Eddie’s crowing in the meantime.
Given the look on Steve’s face, he knew it too.
There was only one way to prevent the monster known as Smug Eddie, and that was to cut him at the knees before he properly got started.
Something no member of Hellfire had ever before managed to accomplish--on purpose.
Steve, Jeff thought, was not a member of Hellfire.
With a sudden and distrustworthy narrowing of his eyes, the ex-jock asked. “Didn't you say Jeff bakes?”
“No--” Eddie spat instantly but it was too late, Steve was already turning and--oh God, trying to pull Jeff into this shit.
“Yes--hey Jeff, man, do you bake?”
“Uh…”
Grant looked between Steve, Eddie and Jeff, before taking one giant step to the right of them all.
The traitor.
“Don't answer that!” Eddie commanded, stalking around to put himself between Jeff and Steve. “Do not answer that!”
“I--yeah?” Jeff answered anyway, confused to hell but choosing to trust Steve on this one.
Unfortunately for Corroded Coffin as a whole, and Jeff specifically, what they were missing was the fact that Steve could be a downright petty bitch.
“What’s the hardest thing you can reliably bake?”
It took a moment for Jeff to realize Steve was still talking to him, given his eyes were locked onto Eddie’s.
“I like doing those kind complicated swirls with frosting sometimes?” Realizing how that sounded he quickly added; “To make cool patterns and shit!”
Steve nodded once, before boldly declaring: “I'm taking Jeff.”
Eddie sputtered.
“No you are not--”
“That way,” Steve said, steamrolling right over, “you have two and I have two.”
“Were not sharing cookies here, Steve!”
“I know,” Steve retorted and oh God, now he sounded smug, “because Jeff and I haven't baked them yet.
“No--no! Jeff, Jeffery look at me.” The older teen whirled around to face Jeff, face serious. “You are forbidden to bake with this heathen.”
“Wow, controlling much?” Steve drawled, moving fluidly around to stand shoulder to shoulder with Eddie, facing Jeff. With a weighty sincerity, he said, “I would never tell you what to do.”
“Yes he would! Yes He absolutely would!
“What the fuck.” Jeff muttered, as they both continued to stare at him while maintaining their argument with each other.
“You made eye contact, this is on you.” Grant told him.
20 minutes later and Jeff would finally announce he was not going to do anything with anyone until after band practice.
20 hours later, Steve would invite himself into Jeff’s house with a bag full of baking ingredients and a look in his eye that terrified Jeff more than Jason ever had.
2 days later, Eddie would loudly declare Jeff’s status as a traitor, only to renounce it five seconds later after Gareth shoved one of the cookies they baked in his mouth mid rant. Only then would he agree that Steve could have Jeff as “his second Robin.”
Unfortunately, he did this in front of the real Robin, who, as it turns out, can give one hell of a rant.
(Later, Jeff, Grant and Gareth would loudly declare Robin their Queen and expert in all things Steve and Eddie, going so far as to present her with a Burger King crown to seal the deal.
She would proudly wear it, despite all the bitching it caused from Steve and Eddie.)
drawing things my teenage self would eat tf up
No wonder bkg can't stand his ass
“[insert dc comics thing] is not canon anymore—” i’m gonna be so fr i haven’t cared about what’s canon and what’s not ever since they killed alfred in order to further bruce and damian’s character development. bc to acknowledge the different canons is to acknowledge that alfred pennyworth, my ideal man, is dead. therefore, to me, nothing is canon unless i like it. and that’s not even to mention damian’s furry arc.
