Red Blood Cell Girl Bringing You Oxygen On A Cute Little Platter And Then Curtseying

Counter take: Mary’s deadname is Billy and Billy’s deadname is Mary.

Like they both didn’t remember each other’s real name cause they used nicknames.

So the other’s real name always floated around in their head but they didn’t remember where they heard it. So they went “fuck it” and renamed themselves that.

new cap marvel take: Billy & Mary both trans. didn't recognise each other on being re-united bcos both had transitioned and changed their names.

Some random kid in a red hoodie (Billy) absolutely bolting past Flash: AAAAAA-

A bunch of JL members running after him: *confused yelling and questions being shouted at the kid*

Flash: *long sip from his coffee*

Flash: I feel like I should be doing something… I just can’t put my finger on what…

But can we talk about how much War Games hurt Bruce Wayne?

Like, seriously. This girl he cared so much for, practically his daughter, who he just wanted to protect died literally in front of him.

Like Steph started a gang war on purpose. And he still felt bad she died because Bruce just loves his kids SO much, even when they do villainous things.

And then he had to see Crystal (she’s Steph’s mom or something idk) blame BRUCE for her dying???!

We were robbed!! We should have had a scene where Crystal apologies to Bruce for blaming him.

And then all along Steph FAKED her death?? Like she put Bruce Wayne through all that pain for literally nothing, she was fine! and she got away with it scott free??

At the VERY least we deserve a hurt /comfort moment where Bruce gets an apology from Steph and all of his kids

Like it’s almost manipulative how she showed up just when Tim couldnt be Robin anymore while Bruce was emotionally really vulnerable and basically threatened and coerced Bruce into making her Robin. It’s really fucked up if you think about it. Steph definitely manipulated him. And then she disobeyed him and cursed him out whenever he tried to set healthy boundaries (firing her).

But he forgave her anyway because he loves his kids so much :(((( He’s a girldad!!!

Arcane is a story about the horrors of war

How no one is safe, no one is free from it, even after it ends

How war can destroy everything if it’s not quelled

There were so many names in that bowl

Arcane is a story of caution

It’s also a story of devotion

Singed is so devoted to his daughter he destroys countless families and nearly brings his people to ruin

His devotion is rewarded

Ekko is so devoted to his people and his land that he takes on more and more and more until he breaks down

Ekko is so devoted to Powder and to Jinx that he leaves a perfect life to save her

That he tortures himself, watching her die over and over until he can find the right words to save her from herself

He is punished for his devotion

Caitlyn is so devoted to the memory of her mother that she is willing to tarnish it to try to prove her love for someone no longer there to receive it

She is so devoted to the past that she is willing to let go of her future with Vi for it

She is both rewarded and punished for it in the end

Violet’s devotion to her family, bled into her devotion to Powder - Powder’s devotion to Violet bled into Jinx’s devotion to Vi

Vi’s devotion to Jinx is found in Jinx’s devotion to Isha and is reciprocated in kind

Vi’s generational devotion can’t save them but it does save her

She would trade places with Jinx in a heartbeat, just as Jinx would have for Isha

Vander is so devoted he places his family above his principles- working with those who oppress his people to keep his family safe

It’s not enough

Silco is devoted to his cause to the point that he is willing to go to the same depths as his adversaries

He’s even willing to kill his own people in the name of saving them

Sevika is also devoted to the same cause, enough so that she was willing to go on the frontlines, willing to throw the first punch against a much larger opponent

In the end her devotion leads her to working with the same people she’d once planned on attacking, for the benefit of her people, in honor of those she lost

Ambessa has a twisted understanding of devotion, so devoted to her daughter’s legacy that she kills in Mel’s name, a child just like her, breaking their connection in that very moment in the name of devotion that she was afraid of

Mel is devoted to her own principles, come by naturally and inherited from her brother, even after she is punished, banished for it, she remains ever devoted - not even Kino’s death or Ambessa’s makes her falter in her conviction- but it does change her

Viktor is so devoted to being good, over being great, over being remembered, he is so devoted to being good that he tells Jayce to destroy the one thing that can save him no matter he fears the ticking clock and Jayce, so devoted to Viktor, can’t

And when Viktor’s devotion is corrupted, Jayce takes it on

In their final moments Viktor, the truest version of him, tries to push through his fears and do one final act of good - save Jayce, he’s on the brink of death and he tells the most important person in his life to leave him

Jayce who had so much to live for, who could have done so much good still, so devoted to Viktor refused to leave him, no matter the consequences

Ximena is so devoted to her son she will do anything to save him, even stand up to the most powerful people in her city for him

It gives him time

It does not save him

She is still left alone in the end

Several background characters weave in and out of the main character’s stories, and time and time again we see them do everything for the people they love

Some are rewarded

Most are not

Arcane is a story of how war shows us the depths of our devotion, the lengths we are willing to go for it

Arcane is a story of caution

Stephcass is a good ship bc on one hand you have a girl who was suicidal since the tender age of 8 and on the other hand who have a girl who won't be suicidal out of pure spite

a very quick stephcass while its still valentines day bc i miss them

You just know Stephanie is every supervillain in Gotham's least favorite Bat to fight. Half because she never shuts the hell up and half because every last one of them went through a phase of assuming she was the least threatening of the Bats until they actually went up against her and took a sledgehammer to the kneecaps. Whenever new blood turns up to Gotham looking to make a name for themselves the veteran rogues give them the same orientation speech. Do not let the wisecracking fool you, the blonde one is fucking crazy.

I’m about to write Batfamily fanfiction starring ONLY the girls, Helena will be there, Babs will be there, Stephanie will be there, Cass will be there, Kate will be there, for the hell of it Dinah will show up.

The batboys you ask

Tim will be in one scene make a joke about zesti then never show up again.

Dick will be the supportive mom who’s serious and down to earth, only appearing when used as a plot device.

Both Jason and Damian will be tagged never show up and you will be lucky if they are even mentioned.

Bruce will be in Hong Kong.

Thinking about Mary Marvel picking up Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) from Justice League missions/meetings like she’s picking him up from school. And I’m not talking the N52 Mary where’s she’s much older than Billy, I’m talking TWIN Mary!

Mary Marvel: “sooo, how was it? Make any new friends?”

Captain Marvel: “yeah! And I met superman!!!”

Mary Marvel: “that’s nice Billy”

Billy, talking to a war criminal like Mr Mind: “Hey! Can you please stop that?”

Billy, talking to his siblings after they mildly annoyed him: “do that again and I’ll fucking end you and your bloodline”

Let him have that Cain instinct
