Damian, running down the stairs: The babies are coming!

Bruce: Excuse me?!

Tim: What?!

Dick: *murdered walrus sounds*

Danian: Alfred the car! Please! Let's go!

Bruce, running after him: W-Wait Damian what babie?! What babies?!

Car: *Speeds off*

*15 minutes later*

Damian, hushed voice: Am I too late?

Danny, shaking his head: She has only pushed out one so far. *points into a welping box*

Welping Box: *a large black dog with big ears, large curling goat's horns, a lion-like tail, and glowing fire-like eyes lays inside the welping box, panting with a round ripping belly and a single litte white puppy suckling*

Damian: Amazing. It doesn't have horns yet?

Danny: Urco grow their horns as they age, isn't that right Pearl?

Daisy: *Whines and lays her head on Danny's hand*

Danny: Such a good girl, strong girl. Sorry for calling you so suddenly, I hope your family isn't worried.

Damina: I told you to call me when it happened. Besides, there's no reason for them to freak out over some puppies being born.

[laughingsapphic]

[hdgnj]

Several hours later a *radiant* Damian wanders back into the house. Skin clear, crops watered etc. only to see the aftermath of whatever meltdown apparently happened while he was out. Damian? Doesn't even want to know. He got to see the puppies. Got to help Pearl. He does not want to be dragged into whatever drama happened while he was out.

Sadly for Damian? Alfred has a vested interest in watching Damian's dace when he realised this was because they didn't realise he was talking about Pearl. And somehow thought he was involved with a teen pregnancy in some fashion.

Bruce: What babies!?!?!?!?

Damian with slowly creeping horror, realising these idiots somehow forgot he loves animals. Just turns and looks at Alfred with a face that screams, you deal with this. And walks away.

Alfred: Miss Pearl safely delivered her litter. Four healthy pups. Master Damians friend breeds and trains support animals. He was most excited to see them born.

Dick: Pups? Puppies!?!?!? He meant a dog!?!?!? *Screech*

Jason: I feel like we should have expected that honestly.

Cass: Yes. He loves animals.

*Meanwhile*

Danny and Damian texting eachnother. Danny is crying over the idea they freaked at the potential Damian had knocked someone up. Damian!?!

liushen week day 2 theme - moonlight/reflection

Probably the last one on liushen week my drawing stamina is out 😭

[snapdragonnz]

i just found out about this bird (scale-crested pygmy tyrant) trying to find the most biodiverse countries and i feel tears welling up in my eyes because its so cute

why does it look like that i love him so much he's a little fella

[legsdemandias]

Do you think tumblr will ever learn the difference between “I’m defending this person because I agree with them wholeheartedly and I am also like this person” and “I’m defending this person because your behavior is dangerous and you need to stop”

[legsdemandias]

IMO, blurring the lines between “I’m defending them because they’re right” and “I’m defending them because you’re taking this too far” is step numero uno to cutting down the very existence of fair trial and democracy–even in places where saying that might seem a little dramatic. 

Mob mentality is extremely strong in humans and it’s also extremely dangerous. Mobs don’t think things through. Mobs kill and they destroy and they can’t be reasoned with. Someone trying to calm a mob down isn’t someone defending the ~problematic party~ It’s time we re-learn that.

[fernthefanciful]

Bruce pressed the palms of his hands against his eyes. He’s usually not one for such an open sign of distress, but he feels in this case it was warranted. And he was having such a peaceful morning, too.

“Did she just write ‘yeti doctor’?”

Bruce’s head snaps up at Steph’s voice, looking once again at the letter on the screen. “Dear Mister Wayne,” it reads, and that is where normalcy ends. “Thank you so much for taking in Danny, I was so worried when he had to escape our parents.” Which is already an extremely worrying sentence. Made even more worrisome with the fact that there is no Danny currently residing in his manor.

His family is in chaos. Tim has three screens in front of him, ranting about living firewalls to Barbara, while Dick leans over his shoulder.

Alfred has lifted a thick three-ring binder out of the care package that this Jasmine Nightingale has sent them, and is flipping through it. Apparently this binder contains all of the medical, psychological, and cultural information needed to make sure that Danny’s species can thrive. Because the missing teen that should be in his manor is not human, but some sort of human/ghost hybrid.

“Father, I think this warrants an emergency meeting with the Justice League.” His youngest says. “There is currently a government agency hunting Cujo and Daniel, citing laws that directly counter the Meta Human Protection Acts. This cannot stand.” Cujo, the green glowing, 10 foot ghostdog that delivered the package and letter this morning by density shifting into the dining room during breakfast. Damian was of course attached.

“Uh, Alfred?” Duke starts form where he and Jason have been emptying the care package, “there’s a huge first aid kit here, but most of it is glowing.” Jason, of course, is turning the high tech laser pistols over in his hands, getting a feel for the handling and grip.

Bruce let’s his eyes skim over the letter again, his eyes catching on words like “Ghost King”, “Infinite Realms”, and “vivisection”. “I know it takes Danny a while to open up,” the letter reads, “so I’m beyond grateful that he feels safe enough with you.” Except he doesn’t, because Danny is not here. Somewhere out on the streets of Gotham is a half dead teenager, hurt and alone. And Bruce didn’t know. Didn’t know any of it until his sister sent him a care package, because apparently this kid has lied to his sister that he’s safe, that he found somewhere to stay.

He doesn’t notice the sudden hush behind him until Jason breaks it. “Is that fucking Lazarus Water?!” Bruce lowers his head back into his hands.

“I will prepare a room for the young master.” Alfred sniffs as his footsteps go towards the elevator. “I’m finding this kid.” Jason answers, leaving towards the lockers “Wait, Little Wing! I’m coming with!” Well, at least Dick can hopefully keep Jason in line. He prays to Rao this doesn’t mean he has to deal with a half-ghost, immensely powerful teen that struggles with Pit Rage.

A small hand lands on Bruce’s shoulder. He looks up into the sparkling eyes of his daughter. “New brother”, she grins.

[fernthefanciful]

From @augundy's tags: #this is very himbo of danny#I approve#though I feel like he probably made up this lie on the spot while on the phone with Jazz and feeling incredibly stressed out and/or in pain#and/or extremely tired#and then he might've forgot about it after

From @geekyrie in the notes: "Bruce's first order of business is finding the teen he's supposed to take care of. The second order of business is most likely to ground him for giving him a heart attack, probably."

---

All in all, Danny’s life is going pretty well. Sure, he’s homeless on the streets of Gotham, but he hasn’t seen a white van in a few weeks, he can phase into gyms to use the showers, and he just found a coupon for a free fro-yo! So, yeah, life is great!

Which is of course when weird things start happening to him. He should have known it wouldn’t last. He’s just enjoying his fro-yo – blueberry, hell yeah – when a car passes him, breaks with tires squealing, and drives onto the sidewalk, coming to a stop uncomfortably close. It’s a nice car though, very sleek. Danny wonders what kind of engine it has, and if someone would notice if he took a look under the hood.

He never gets that chance. Instead a tall man with broad shoulders steps out of the car. He looks mad, and he looks specifically at Danny. Whelp, better keep moving then! Danny focuses hard on the next bite, looking down, and starts power-walking out of there.

“Daniel Thomas Nightingale-Wayne!”

Wait, what? He looks back to the tall man in the suit, and yeah, he’s still looking at Danny. More people stopped at the commotion, aaaaaaand great, here come the phone cameras. Tall man is walking towards him and Danny really doesn’t want to cause a scene, right now. Also the man is familiar. Somewhere.

“Where have you been?” oh, the man is still talking to him, “We’ve been looking all over for you. You can’t just disappear for six days.”

Again, what? “I’m sorry?” He tries, “also, I think you ha-”

“I appreciate the apology, chum, but you’re still grounded.”

“Wha- Grounded?!”

The man, wait – Wayne? Bruce Wayne?! Why would billionaire and himbo Brucie Wayne think he’s one of his kids? Mister Wayne crouches down, not caring about the dirty sidewalk and places his hands on Danny’s shoulders. “Sweetheart,” he starts and Danny absolutely does not melt, nope, “your sisters have been worried sick. Jason is stress-baking, Tim hasn’t slept in three days, and Damian has been – well you know Damian doesn’t show it, but I know he’s been worried.”

Danny is so confused. And now confused and slightly guilty. He doesn’t even know these people! Does he?

“Now come on, get in the car. I think Alfred was making one of your favorites for dinner tonight, and you can call your sister when we get to the manor.” Wayne’s hand on his shoulder is gentle and warm as he guides him, nothing like Vlad’s bruising grip.

“You talked to Jazz?” He asks as he’s deposited into the passenger’s side.

“Oh yes,” Wayne says, with a weird twinkle in his eye, “she’s been waiting to talk to you.”

And oh, oh no, that does not sound good at all.

---

Meanwhile the Gothamites are having a blast. Brucie Wayne full-naming someone only happens when his kids really messed up. Like, Richard swinging from the not-enforced chandelier in Mrs. Plotnik’s mega yacht messed up. Also this kid is obviously homeless. Does Bruce really get empty nest syndrome so bad that he’s now picking up random kids off the streets? The Waynes are so weird.

[cesiarune]

The rumors start. Like they always do.

The kid isn’t homeless. Well, he is, but that’s only because he ran away! Didn’t you hear Brucie? The other siblings are worried. So he obviously picked up a while ago. I wonder why he ran away?

Hey, did you hear? Daniel THOMAS WAYNE! Just Wayne as a last name! No other hyphenated names. Only the bio kid was named like that (because Al Ghul wasn’t official). This is another bio kid, isn’t it? Wasn’t Brucie’s dad named Thomas? The boy was obviously named after him.

Bruce Wayne has another kid. Not adopted this time though. You think that as the eldest bio kid, would that make him the most likely to inherit? And he obviously has beef with his dad. Think we can take advantage of that and swallow up some of the Wayne empire in a few years?

You know that kid who was fixing stuff for money and food in that street corner? Let me tell you, he’s the Wayne heir! Crazy!

The Wayne heir keeps running away? How do you know? Well, I suppose being that thin would have taken a long time starving. But maybe he has something like anorexia?

You think Bruce might have a bio daughter? I heard he said her name was Jazz.

The newest boy ran away because Brucie separated him from his sister?! That doesn’t sound right! But maybe…

Where is Brucie hiding these kids? And why?! All his other kids are public!

Do you think Brucie has an army of bio kids? But hidden?

Think Brucie’ll pay ransom for his illegitimate children too? Yeah, you’re right. We’d have to find ‘em first.

Did you hear? Wayne has tons of bio kids! Wonder why he hid them. Maybe they’re not acknowledged until they’ve passed some test! The youngest certainly excelled. Wouldn’t be surprising if he set them up so the best would inherit. We should watch this newest one. If it’s true, we might be able to tie the next heir to Wayne Enterprises.

Brucie’s newest kid keeps sneaking out and sharing his lunch with the street kids. He pretends he can’t eat all of it, but we all know that’s just an excuse to feed his friends. Isn’t that cute? Maybe he’ll manage to set up something the street kids would actually trust to eat at. The youngest did something like that for the animals too. The Wayne family’s bleeding heart breeds true.

Did you see that? White cars and white suits in Gotham?! What are they thinking? Wait, what are they doing? Someone get a bat! They’re shooting lasers at the newest Wayne kid!

[the-prairies-calling-out]

"Why do you buy books when the library is right there?"

Because publishing houses will not continue printing paper books if libraries are their only customers.

Also, I like being able to read at my leisure and generally have books at hand.

[its-the-blob]

#public libraries are good because they let people access books they might never otherwise read#private book ownership is good because it's Yours#physical books are good because they last a long time and again it's Yours#ebooks are good because you can fit a whole library into the physical space of a single book and they're cheaper to produce#audiobooks are good because they're accessible to people with eyesight or visual reading issues and leave your hands free#in conclusion: all books are good and people should enjoy them however and whenever they can#(lest it be misunderstood I agree with you completely OP I just also really like books in general and it got away from me)

YES. all books. every kind

[howmanyholesinswisscheese]

Biggest fuck-up ever is that people have to pay to become doctors

[howmanyholesinswisscheese]

Like unironically we should be subsidising at least 50% of their educations. What do you mean we have a shortage of doctors we should have surplus. What do you mean they’re being overworked they should be treated like royalty, they can fix human bodies

[howmanyholesinswisscheese]

I don’t care if some of them are only doing it for the money. I don’t care if all of them are only doing it for the money. Intentions don’t matter to the stitches in my nana’s leg or the ten billion other lifesaving treatments we all get at a detriment to their finances and mental wellbeing. Entire cities are kept alive by just a couple thousand of them what are we DOINGGGGG

[phoenixyfriend]

There's a congressional act from in the 1980s that was "to prevent an oversupply of doctors" by preventing the creation of medical schools, and to freeze subsidies for residencies.

It backfired hard.

[queeranarchism]

Let me settle the 'is it fetishism and is it bad?' debate once and for all:

Being attracted to any kind of body is normal. Fat bodies. Trans bodies. Disabled bodies. All normal. Being extra attracted to a specific kind of body is normal too. Totally normal to have a type.

Not unlearning the societal stigma attached to those kinds of bodies, the people who inhabit those bodies, and the people who fuck them, to the point where you do any of the following:

Only want to date/fuck the person in secret.

Reduce the person to the feature that you desire and ignore the rest of who they are as a person.

Expect the person to be a walking porn fantasy instead of a real person with their own sexual preferences and boundaries.

Would no longer love the person if the stigmatized aspect of their body changed.

Consider yourself superior to the person, think the person should be 'grateful' that you love their body, etc.

See the person as a temporary adventure while planning to eventually settle down with someone whose body isn't stigmatized.

Is bad and harmful and you shouldn't be dating anyone until you've worked on your shit, because this makes you a very terrible partner. This doesn't mean you are a bad person with bad-fetishist-desires who can only desire people badly, it means you need to unlearn societal stigma so you can be a better partner to the people you desire.

Thank you for coming to me ted talk.

[likepetalswealleventuallyfall]

im laughing so hard because no matter what song you listen to 

spiderman dances to the beat

no matter what song ive been testing it and lauing my ass off for an hour

[creepymutelilbugger]

hey guys do you want to circulate the heirloom dancing spiderman again i feel like we could stand to do that

[cesiarune]

I’ve put pop, band, orchestral, opera, country, and even folk music on. He really does bounce to every beat. I wonder how. Do humans just have an innate timer that says it has to be set at this beat to sound good?!

[lightweightkate]

I’ve been cackling about this for like five minutes now

[uncharacter-istically]

[Video caption:

O-okay, let’s get into this, shall we?

*grumbling* Would you rather work for Lex Luthor or the Joker- *shouting* Lex Luthor, by like, a fucking mile!

Yes, yes, working for Lex Luthor is basically like being an Amazon employee that makes weapons of mass destruction, which is bad. Lex is like Donald Trump mixed with Mark Zuckerberg mixed with Jeffrey fucking Bezos, it’s not a great mix. He does not treat his henchmen well. Their lives still suck, and they are probably monitored on how long they take piss breaks for.

But let’s analyze what working for Lex Luthor is like versus the fucking Joker. With Lex you probably get a dental plan, a health plan, a paycheck, and the guy that you’re fighting really cares about human life. Superman will hit you just long enough to knock you out, so you’re not a treat, so he can stop the problem.

If you work for the Joker, your payment is you’re not fucking dead. You say one wrong thing? Bang. You don’t laugh at his jokes? Bang! You do laugh at his jokes? Bang! You think Joker gives a fuck about a henchman?

Who’s Lex Luthor’s right-hand-man? It’s a woman, you sexist, her name is Mercy, she’s awesome. Who’s Joker’s right-hand-man? Bob? Nah, he’s dead. Harley? Tried to kill her multiple times. Slappy? Who the fuck is Slappy?

The best case scenario of working for the Joker is that you fight the fucking Batman! And that presents its own fucking list of problems. If you stop Superman as a Lex Luthor henchman, Lex’ll be pissed, but he’ll be at least happy that Superman was caught. If you stop Batman as a Joker henchman, you better have a fucking coffin picked out yesterday.

This isn’t a fun hypothetical question, this is a screening technique that the doctors at Arkham use to determine your mental health! There is a right and a wrong answer to this question, and the correct one is Lex fucking Luthor. Thank you for coming to my fucking Ted Talk, have a nice day.

Bitch neither I work for Wayne Industries, they got better offers than work these clowns:

[gandalfsbignaturals]

batmans secret special attack is offering all of his enemys henchmen a living wage and guaranteed healthcare

[marble-arch]

They closed the portal. Amity Park stopped getting ghost attacks. Vlad and Danny's parents did not take it well, but they handled that too.

Until they realised it was keeping Danny from fulfilling his Obsession to Protect.

It affected his concentration first, his health second.

But he still refused to re-open the portal. Inflicting harm on the people he's sworn to guard for his own needs is anathema to the fulfillment of his Obsession.

Jazz suggests he divert his attention to another core part of himself.

His love for the cosmos.

Danny starts going on space expeditions in Phantom form.

He goes to Mars and brings back samples. Pokes around Saturn's rings. Takes a nap on Pluto.

It helps tremendously.

Until he starts leaving the solar system altogether. He meets new alien forms, makes groundbreaking discoveries he cannot share in a scientific journal.

It's wonderful. That's the problem.

Space as an Obsession is all-consuming.

When Danny thinks of getting back home to check on his friends and turn back into a human, decades have passed.

Danny does not grow while he is in ghost form. He still looks like a teenager. His friends are middle-aged.

His parents are dead.

And his human form is different. As his ghost form has accommodated his Obsession by developing space-related powers, his human body has adopted the traits of the alien forms he has encountered. They are subtle, but in a dimension where he is the only hero of Earth, they unmistakably mark him as other.

He makes a portal to the Ghost Zone and begs Clockwork to send him back so he can return to his friends and family.

Clockwork congratulates him on taking the first steps to becoming the Ancient of Space.

"I cannot give you back the decades you lost, because even sent back to the past you will be stuck in the same dilemma. You cannot stay grounded on Earth without acting as a guardian spirit, and space makes you forget your anchors to mortal life. What you need is to fulfill both."

"How?"

"In a dimension close to this one is a world of heroes you would thrive in. In that world, an organisation called the Justice League was founded to protect their Earth and galaxy from all who would seek to threaten them. Lend them a hand, and you will fulfill both of your Obsessions as well as grow in your role of Ancient. For every year you do so, I will give you three days, six hours and five minutes to spend with your loved ones in the past."

"What do you get in return?"

Clockwork tilted his head.

"I do not think you realise how dangerous the malleability of a halfa's Obsession is. If you start forcusing on the time you have lost too much, you risk developing powers that will let you unravel the timeline, to devastating consequences. I will do all I can to steer you in a better decision, both for your sake and this world's."

[merormerlin]

"Psst. Hey. Hey, butler guy. Is this Bruce Wayne guy, like, enslaving you?"

Alfred Pennyworth has experienced many things at the infamous Wayne Gala's. He's found front page affairs in the bathroom, watched Master Dick swing from the million-dollar chandelier, and personally pulled out a shotgun at the Joker.

He has not, in fact, had one of the suspiciously young looking busser ask him if he's a captive to his employer and pseudo-son.

New opportunities every day, Alfred supposes.

"I believe you will have to elaborate, young man." He replied, crisply. It wasn't the most peculiar thing he had been asked, not even this month, but it certainly got his attention.

"You know. The thread between you and him. If he's holding you hostage or something, I can help you." The boy— yes, now that the man had gotten a closer inspection, it was certainly more child than man— gestured vaguely to something only they could see.

It took a moment to surmise his meaning, before Alfred's eyes narrowed.

Alfred was, although unnoticeable to the mortal eye, magical. He had been raised such, learned from gentle corrections and yellowed tomes of spells. When he had raised Bruce, still small and irate at the world, he had formed what one would call a bond. It bound himself to the boy, strengthening over the years, until he couldn't hide its existence like the others without concentration.

An untrained mind could easily mistake a cord into a chain. Heroic of the lad to ask, if unplaced and a touch dangerous.

"I am quite alright." He assured after a moment, and the relief that panned across the boy's face made him reevaluate his appearance. Short, skinnier than Alfred would prefer, and twitchy eyes and hair that had not been cut, leaving it stringy, hung over eyes too bright of blue to be normal. "Are you, lad?"

He looked uncared for in the way that raised the hairs on the older man's neck. A light probing for the busboy's tethers— whether to family, guardians or something else— came back with naught. His frown deepened.

It was imperative that children, until their brains fully developed and abilities settled, had something to anchor their magic. Families and organizations were remarkably protective of their young; for good reason: untended minors were easy pickings for cults and even more ill intents.

"Me?" His laugh did not strike as genuine when it came out. "Mister, I'm fine. I better get back to work though. Don't need them yelling at me, y'know?" A jerk of his thumb back towards the industrial kitchen areas beside the banquet hall.

"I understand, young man." Alfred did not in this situation; where were his guardians? "If I may— can I inquire your name?"

The boy's hand came to lift to the back of his neck. He did not need to be magical to read the mild anxiety radiating off of him.

"It's Daniel, er, Danny. Danny Nightingale." Was what the lad said, before pivoting and fleeing back to his work without another second.

Alfred supposed he had plenty of room if Master Bruce— doubtfully— wasn't fancying another addition to their ever-growing family.

Because as strange as Daniel was, there was something deeper at play.

[cesiarune]

[thelazydetectivecat]

The justice League never expected to have to console green arrow after she got "bullied" by phantoms son while they said son looked at him judgmentally.

Okay to explain the situation a bit better we'll need to go from the start phantom joined the justice League a few years ago became a good trusted member and all that good stuff but he's also made abundantly clear he's a father and being a father will take priority over his work which understandable.

And that he would rather see this planet burn to the ground then see any harm come to his child. Which concerning but at least he's being truthful (also can't really blame him)

Phantom is widely known for his puns and jokes and ability to distract the villain. Villains all seem to be on good terms with him despite the fact that he's on the other side except for a few that seem deadly scared of him due to and I quote "paternal scariness". Apparently they threatened phantoms family and phantom gave them an example of what would happen to them if they did. Point is the villains have heard of his son and tell others the same.

Normally they would think this is a security branch and tell phantom to be more careful except he doesn't care at all.

In fact he would proudly announced too anyone listening about any of his sons achievements to the point where you actually got tired of listening to it even batsy groaned one time due to how often this happens.

According to phantom his baby deserves the world and he will not shut up about him it gets annoying but manageable.

When phantom receives news that he's going on a world mission he calls the league and asks them to babysit his son while he's on the mission according to him the rest of his family and friends are unable to take care of his son and he doesn't trust anyone else so they were his best chance

Of course they accepted thinking nothing of it surely phantoms would be just as sweet as he described.

They were very wrong

At first phantasmo seemed like a very calm and collected child.

Until he wasn't.

Apparently he in green arrow were having an argument about something and he wasn't listening because phantasmo was a child so said child got aggressive. Verbally very fast

he started listing and critiquing every single thing green arrow did wrong from the moment he stepped foot in the space station got deeply personal theorized about the cause of his behaviors judged him on the blindness , told him straight to his face that a peacock could shoot arrows better than him telling him how with everything being unflattering and unattractive he might also need to grow impressive feathers to have even the slimmerest of chances of getting a mate and even more impressive feathers to stay. Then his idiocy during an argument is he exact reason why people don't want to deal with him.

And according to everyone else who was watching he said even more things which led them to now

Phantasmo is staring at green arrow judgmentally

Phantasmo: seriously? You cry like a baby whose favorite toy got taken away from them because of critique?

Green arrow: *sobbing like 5 year old* YOU SAID A VACUUM HAS MORE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE THAN ME HOW DOES THAT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ARGUMENT?!

Phantasmo: because during our argument you showed low levels of intelligence emotional intelligence being one of them. I was just pointing it out seeing as it was hindering your sight

It kept happening Phantasmo kept critiquing people with facts and being extremely blunt which led them to a spiral

After that batman decided Phantasmo could maybe benefit Gotham so he brought him with him in the hopes not to terrorize the others. Only to immediately lose him a day later.

He was missing for a week. A week of batman spiraling trying his best to find the kid before anything happened to him and as well as the rest of the league's concerns before phantom came back to murder him.

That was until....

"uh B? Did you take another one in? I think I'm having a therapy session with a 10 year old-"

Turns out he got bored and decided to explore the city and eventually found his way into becoming a black market therapist. What's that you may ask? we may never know.

This situation just kept continuing

Superman took him in? Started a business that could arrival lex luthor's with the motto being "if I can't fight. I'll beat a billionaire with their credit card" which ended up sending lex to the hospital one day.

Green lantern? Tried to hypnotize hal with a lantern that's conveniently green on top of him in the middle of the night chanting some kind of ancient song. He screamed and fell out of the bed

Aquaman? He became an undersea monk. Wonder woman? He became a cult leader. Starfire? He found a interdimensional portal. Zatanna? He almost convinced someone to become food. Cyborg? He made a soup kitchen in space. Found Talia al ghul and tried convincing her to adopt him. The flash? Hit him with a flask

The struggles continued with every new person to take him in.

The league are at their wit's end. The child cannot be controlled in fact that child is controlling them.

it becomes a group project of survival.

The league couldn't wait for phantom to come back.

HI LET’S SHARE NICOLE’S WORDS ON THE SUBJECT! 

It has been literal years but every time I see Martin’s tweets posted somewhere and his word is shared as truth while her post is not shared it sort of reiterates the fact that we trust men to speak about feminism more than we believe women who experience it. 

Interesting, innit? https://medium.com/@nickyknacks/working-while-female-59a5de3ad266

[wiseacrewhimsy]

Reading her account of how their boss treated her blows me away. Men are so emboldened that they will literally admit to illegal discrimination casually and face no consequences.

[the-geek-cornucopia]

In all the years of seeing this post I’ve never seen a link to her side. Didn’t even know she’d written one.

[pluts04]

Adding screenshots of her post. His whole post is there without needing a link. Hers should be, too.

Also, she posted this is 2017! It’s fucking 2020 and I’ve seen his side of this for years, but it took 3 years for her side to make its way to my dash…

[thou-creature-of-the-deep]

I’ve reblogged his story at least twice; it’s time for Nicole’s.

[samsaragalasinzaraxazeal]

Reblogged him, bout time I got to reblog her.

[lythic-dreams-deactivated202509]

I’ve never seen either side of this story, so sure, I’ll reblog this.

[prokopetz]

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

[prokopetz]

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

[buggyhuman]

Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have

[red-garden]

SY: And you wanna know the thing that kills me the most?! Your writing had so much story potential— you clearly show you can world build well, and your characterization of Bingge was fascinating. Even your prose was similar to ‘Dawn of the Red Mountain’, which won awards!! Clearly you know how to write well, but you’re such a fucking coward you never commit!!!!

SQH: Wait you read ‘Dawn of the Red Mountain’? As in critically acclaimed novel ‘Dawn of the Red Mountain’? By author Xiang Fei?

SY: Yes, though you clearly didn’t or you would know how to write male leads with complex relationships to papapa and strong platonic relationships.

Always remember that the EU did a study in 2013 about the effects of piracy on media publishers and found that there is no correlation between piracy and sales! (And then they tried to hide that study bc that's not the result they wanted)
