Thank you to @curiousbadger for kickstarting to memory of this au of @stan-the-cinnamon-roll-uris’s au outlined in Part 1 of this post where Eddie ends up a cat with Patty and Stanley ends up an owl and in Richie’s care and eventually coming back together. Enjoy some grumpy owl Stanley
Also you can best believe the losers are rallying around their comedian friend who has recently acquired an owl from somewhere presumably and is now allowing the bird to take creative liberties in his comedy writing
You’re challenged by gym leaders SKZ!
Brucie Wayne accidentally killing the joker
This happens before Red Hood is revealed as Jason, but after he shows up. Bruce is at a gala and has been very stressed lately, which is why he was so caught off guard with the Joker arriving. A big thing about today? It’s Jason’s adoption day anniversary. Bruce is barely clinging to being good.
However, Joker has a new laughing gas that he thought would make everyone fall into a catatonic state of laughter, striking a blow against all of Gotham’s elite.
That’s what he thought it would do.
Instead, it lowered inhibitions and increased their emotions. It also reduced their ability to think things through. Doing this to Bruce, who is stressed with Red Hood making moves and Justice League stuff getting more stressful and it being the anniversary of the day he could finally welcome his beautiful boy into the family, only to be face to face with the reason he lost his kid?
It only takes one comment about the old Robin for Bruce to go feral.
He isn’t thinking things through, isn’t focused on how hard he is hitting things, or where they are moving until he’s on a balcony with the Joker, and he’s distantly aware he’s been screaming about the clown having done enough-
Everyone watches, spellbound, as Brucie Wayne, under the influence of this new gas, pitches both the Joker and himself off the balcony, twenty stories above the ground.
Red Hood catches Brucie Wayne.
No one catches the Joker.
The morning papers scream about how the Joker died from Gotham’s prince being drugged, and how the city’s new crime lord kidnapped Brucie before he could die.
Everyone in Gotham is in disarray.
Dick is panicking after seeing the headline. (He was in Bludhaven.)
Tim is cursing himself. (He was home sick with the flu.)
Jason is struggling with his emotions.
Alfred is loading his shot gun.
This…….was supposed to be a small one panel joke. About, WKX being good at recognizing beautiful backsides? You know?
We’re all used to the eccentricities of each character, and the techniques the boys use to stay calm and focused during their games, but from an outside perspective Nishiura high school baseball team is absolutely fucking bizarre.
*Nishiura calls time*
Opponent team: oh they must be making a game plan, alright
*Abe goes out to stand in the middle of the field and hold hands with Mihashi while staring intently into his eyes*
Opponent team: what the fuck is going on???
*Abe calls Mihashi his pitcher, promises to take care of him for the next 3 years, swears that they’ll win for his sake, Mihashi is crying incoherently*
Opponent team: they know we’re in the middle of a game, right? do we need to get them a room or something….?
Opponent team: how are these freshmen staying so calm in such a serious game??? what’s their trick???
*Looks across to Nishiura’s dugout where Mizutani is screaming while Izumi and Mihashi tickle him*
Opponent team: ?????? do we need to call somebody?? is he okay?
*Tajima makes an impossible shot and gets several runs*
Opponent team: how cool is that prodigy?? he must be a genius
Tajima, immediately after finishing the game, shirt off, dick out: rice is a type of protein right??
Hanai: jesus christ how have you survived for this long
tl;dr:
Big hot shot team pre-game: This game will be pathetically easy – they’re just a bunch of freshies!! Practically toddlers!
*Nishiura during the game* Reads the pitchers’ movements, memorises each batters preferences, goes full-on klepto with bases. Wins.
Hot shot team: What in tarnation….
*Nishiura after the game* has players falling asleep on public bunches like a bunch of hobos, some of them half-naked, Abe yelling incoherently over the mess
Hot shot team: ….we lost to this?

Why are you so f*cking dense, Dokja!!!
"Would you fall in love with me again" but make it a ten-thousand-year wait
I love Byler because El deserves so much better than Mike, but Will deserves exactly Mike.
Now, I don't think Will deserves less than El or anything like that. I'm just saying that El would deserve to have Will's Mike, but instead she gets her Mike.
El's Mike calls her ridiculous and can't say he loves her.
Will's Mike bikes under the pouring rain to apologise to him and says stuff like 'Hawkins is not the same without you'.
El's Mike crumples her letters and throws them away.
Will's Mike keeps every one of his drawings.
El's Mike makes her feel like a monster.
Will's Mike makes him feel like he is not a mistake at all.
All in all, El's Mike is an asshole, but Will's Mike is worth falling for.
hes a luxury guys. appreciate him.
