So Peter thinks he doesn’t recognise him - despite the fact that Dami asks about Peter between visits and wonders why he isn’t around.
Until Dick sends him this video:
[cameraman Dick trying to stifle his laugh, steps into the batcave and slowly approaches a crouching Damian]
Dick: (leaning in) Whachya doing over there Damian?
Damian: talking to peta
Dick: huh? where-?
[Damian, entirely too nonchalantly, turns around with a huge fucking tarantula in his hand]
Damian: See. Peta.
[tarantula scurries]
Dick: DAMIAJNDOENESAAAAHHHHHHHH
[the phone drops - the video cuts mid scream]
The accompanying text: it’s still on the loose pls help 😭
Oh I could tell you where your lillies went…but you wouldn’t like it 🙂↔️
I’m kind of in the home stretch of its first arc and I’m looking for some insight from a readers pov regarding characterisation, tone of voice and general plot progression.
everyone remembers EXACTLY where they were when they read the first snippet of Mark of Athena at the end of SoN..Rick had me TWEAKING & locked inn
The wait between books back then…it wasn’t for the weak
“What’s your fav hp ship” you can’t just ask me that. It’s personal. It’s private - there are LEVELS to this… I need to know how far along the ship pipeline you are to reveal mine
Like don’t have time to explain why harry x Luna works when im in the trenches of bluna discourse…mamas busy
This was my Luke if anybody cares
Bonus points if you recognise him too 🤭
I literally though he and the movie actor were the same person and like Annabeth I get it - if he looked like that you couldn’t convince me of nish
To Japan. As detailed through timestamps:
5pm - pregame
Tim has been day drinking at previous event and comes to the pregame mildly tipsy
On the contrary Jason forgot to skip his meds that evening (for the first time?!!) and is consequently suffering stone sober
(He’s tried to leave three times already and plans to perform an Irish goodbye)
Dick is a little tipsy but he’s saving it for the main event
Peter has accidentally had too many Shirley temples (unaware that they weren’t clean) and upon discovering so, has begun adamantly repeating that he’s ’not even drunk yet’. This will only worsen with time.
6pm - The drive
Tim ordered the Uber - he sent a venmo request to Jason and to no one else
“You scamming little freak that ride was not $60.”
“Oh yeah I added $40. For GST.”
“That’s not how GST works! You kno-YOU KNOW THIS! How the HELL are you running a conglomerate-“
Peter “I will listen to just about anything”Parker was on aux earlier but got muted when his megaplaylist wouldn’t stop playing brown noise
“why don’t you sort this shit by vibe? why is there a Rihanna song next to minecraft ambience? What is going on -?you know what- stop. GIVE IT HERE-”
Dick has been suspiciously quiet throughout the ride and it’s because he’s wearing earplugs. He and Peter have been sharing a packet of trail mix through the gap between the front and back seat since the trip began.
6:30 - Dessert stop
The first bar they go to is super dead so they ditch without buying a round (Peter grabs a sparkling water bc he feels bad 💔)
They stop at a dessert spot across the street that Tim insists they visit
Jason ditches halfway to go god knows where because the line is LONG
Dick starts chatting up the people in front of them to pass time (social anxiety fears him)
They end up getting invited to a street festival which they spontaneously decide to go to.
But then they’re walking and guess who they find near the Sanrio pop up entrance with bags fucking galore
And Jason refuses to elaborate aside from claiming “it’s a write off” but??
“you don’t even pay taxes??”
7:45
They’re in the centre of the street stalls line up and everyone has split off to explore the stall on their own
8:00
Tim is FaceTiming Steph obnoxiously loudly by the trinket stalls
Dick is taking selfies with his sakura shaped ice treat, ignoring the small gaggle of girls gearing up to approach him (he’s been asked about the club he Hosts at…three times already)
9:50
Overstimulated, Jason went into an alley for a mandatory shut up and smoke break.
Peter’s joined him but those spiked jelly shots from earlier are WORKING and the jet lag is making him sleepy so he’s crouching
But now they lowkey look like shady criminals from afar
Local authorities have circled the area twice to check on the gangsters in the shadows practically scaring the hoes
They end up having to go home early bc if it

This was just a silly idea that came to me while working on my Peter in Gotham fanfic so hope yall enjoyed :)
This is especially hilarious if you consider annabeths old actress’s Miley Cyrus ass stare
Like who is she trying to possess omgod stop
Pjo headcanon:
Percy “does not and will not make eye contact while talking and is struggling to pay attention” Jackson
vs
Annabeth “making direct eye contact 24/7 even if no one’s talking and is constantly taking in information” Chase
I heard someone say that all your hobbies can be traced back to a single moment which made me remember that when I was in elementary school, my sister and I would have "storytime" late at night after my parents went to sleep. And it would just be me rewriting the ending of shows we watched when we didn't like the endings. Chat I was literally writing fanfiction for wild Kratts.
Headcanon: Percy and Annabeth, as a result of being a loving, functional, equitable couple, have caused no less then 8 break ups among their acquaintances.
Annabeth's friend in New Rome watching Percy run two blocks to the drug store to get her Advil for her ankle, because she left it at home that day by mistake:
Friend: Gods, how did you train him that good?
Annabeth, barely paying attention to what she said: huh? Oh I didn't train him much, really. I taught him Ancient Greek, some myths and stuff. I mean, I guess I kind of trained him in battle strategy? But that was more of a "learning on your feet" kind of thing.
Friend: No I mean train him to do whatever you ask, or do things without even asking.
Annabeth: What?
Friend: Like if my back was hurting, I don't think my boyfriend would run two blocks to Walgreens for me.
Annabeth: That's fucked up.
Friend: You ... didn't teach him to do that?
Annabeth: To be nice to me? No, I didn't.
Friend: Ugh, you're so lucky.
Annabeth: I ... think I'm going to kill your boyfriend, actually.

Percy forgets to print his paper and somehow manages to leave his computer at home. Annabeth is still home when he calls, and she logs into his computer, prints it for him, and brings it to him before the deadline with his favorite smoothie (she had time to spare, and her best friend was stressed).
Percy: You're amazing, babe. Thank you so much.
Annabeth: Of course. See you later. Love you!
Percy: Love you too!
Some guy in his class: You're so lucky. My girlfriend would never.
Percy: Oh, why not?
Some guy: I don't know. She just doesn't do things like that for me. And the smoothie? Fuck, you're lucky.
Percy: I mean, I know I'm lucky, but ... I don't know, it didn't even occur to me that she wouldn't do me a favor.
Some guy: And she doesn't, like, call you stupid for forgetting?
Percy: No. I mean, she might call me seaweed brain, but that's different.
Some guy: She didn't call you seaweed brain just now.
Percy: You're right she didn't ... hold on [calls Annabeth]. Hey are you mad at me? Well, it's just that I did something silly and you didn't call me 'seaweed brain.' Well, sure anyone could do it, but I did it. No, it doesn't hurt my feelings. Yeah, I like it. Thanks, I love you. [hangs up]. You should break up with your girlfriend by the way.
So when he walks past Tim in an alcove at Gotham U cozied up awfully close with someone else he doesn’t initially say anything (but by god he’s judging) and when he makes eye contact with him a few days later sucking face with a different girl at the library cafe, Peter makes his disapproval KNOWN.
Missions at Mt Justice don’t change and he doesn’t ask to switch teams or anything drastic - but there’s next to no banter between them anymore. No silly games or witty jokes - Peter just clocks in and clocks the fuck out now. And no can even say anything because - he responds! And he still works just fine when they’re paired up. He also listens / replies when spoken to - he just isn’t friendly anymore.
In fact - he totally shuts down any conversation Tim joins and gets the coldest look on his face which is BAFFLES EVERYONE???
Because holy shit Peter doesn’t like you?? Do you kick puppies for a living - what the hell???
They’ve never really seen Peter mad before. Annoyed - sure. But this ice out is a new one and honestly kind of scary.
And Tim is ???? So confused. Because he has no idea what Peter’s upset about since he hadn’t actually noticed him that day.
Now - Jason obviously finds this hilarious because hell yeah fuck that guy (he knows they’re open he’s just saying choosing to say NOTHING).
Dick doesn’t know what to make of it because he’s pretty sure they were open? But now he’s doubting it because weren’t they just celebrating their anniversary?? (Zatanna mentioned it in passing but his ass was naaawt listening 😭).
No one’s told Damian why Peter doesn’t like Tim right now but he doesn’t care and finds the sudden switch gratifying (he never liked the guy anyway).
Artemis was concerned about the team’s harmony at first but has since decided to stay out of it since it hasn’t affected their work.
But Wally’s been avoiding him too?? Because someone told him a mutated version of the rumour and he now believes Tim tried to bribe Peter to hide his cheating.
[Wally: it’s all alleged but man, who knew he could be such a douchebag?
Roy: (scoffing) it’s a bitch move, that’s for sure.
Jason, who is now hearing a frankensteined version of his own rumour repeated back to him: oh yeah…it’s just - crazy. Really. But you know I heard….]
Everything comes to a head when the rumour gets back to Steph after she comes back from a covert mission so this is literally the intervention that follows:
Artemis: (holding the bridge of her nose) So. We’re gathered here today because I feel there’s been a bit of a misunderstanding.
Tim: there’s no misunderstanding. Spidershit over here’s been spreading FALSE rumours about me-
Peter: I SAW YOU WITH MY OWN EYES YOU PATHOLOGICAL LYING PEICE OF-
TIM: YOU’RE THE MANIPULATIVE LOS-
Steph: shut up! Both of you!
(Silence. Jason coughs)
Artemis: Now does anyone have anything to say before we start? (Sighing) Yes, Pete?
Peter: I get why Steph, Tim and Wally are here. But why’d you call Jason too?
Jason: (Standing up, dusting his pants) he’s right, there’s been a mix up.
Artemis: Sit down Jason - (gestures haphazardly at Wally) just - tell them what you told me. About Tim.
Wally: I…just said that I personally don’t feel comfortable being on the same team as someone who pretended to be an angel of music to manipulate a young girl into loving him with the ultimate intention of keeping her with him forever through fear and…coercion?
Steph: …
Tim: …
Peter: ….dude - what
Artemis: (audibly taking a deep breath) so I don’t know why he just recited the plot of Phantom of the Opera verbatim - but if you think for a second that I’m going to let you walk out in that zeta tube Jason Todd without an explan- SIT DOWN.
Jason: (slumping back in chair, groaning) For the record - I DONT EVEN GO HERE
(The issue was resolved pretty quickly after that)

Jason using his theater knowledge for chaos🤩 another silly behind the scene moment from my fic 🫶
