donna troy who goes to themyscria and feels…lighter. no one is ogling her, no one in the crowd is looking at her like a piece of meat, tracing every curve of her body. she didn’t even realize how accustomed she’d grown to it until it was stripped away completely.
donna troy who sees the amazons, big, bulky, and unapologetically strong.
donna troy discovering for the first time that she doesn’t have to suppress her strength
donna troy being around women who contradict everything she’s learned growing up about “femininity” and what it is to be “feminine” and yet discovering she’s never met women so truly and comfortably themselves
donna troy who sees diana with the justice league and the media in general; fierce, opinionated, a warrior through and through. and—despite being a mirror-image of her—can’t help but notice the differences between the way these traits are accepted in wonder woman versus the way they were accepted (or lack thereof) in wonder girl
donna troy who, when put into a [sudden] role of power (princess), expected to be questioned or second-guessed or under-equipped
donna troy who feels undeserving to be considered an amazon, let alone their princess, because every time she’s around these women, the most courageous and compassionate people she’s ever met, all she can think of is how inadequate she in
donna troy who had a failed marriage, was deemed an unfit mother to her child, and lost custody of her baby. only for her baby to die and her to be unable to save him, when her whole life has been saving people
donna troy who feels like she failed at the most basic aspects of womanhood
donna troy who is riddled with insecurities every time she’s in themyscria
Some dickjay fics will have Jason getting shy and Dick asking if he’s a virgin but what if instead he just blurts out that he’s not but it’s different this time because now he has a choice
Thank you for the ask, anon ^^ I wrote a little something for it :)
---
It’s said as a joke, and maybe it was kind of an assholish one, but the thing was that Jason made jokes all the time too, and Dick couldn’t have known—except that he could, but hadn’t cared about it at the time…
Well, none of that matters. What is important is Jason’s blue-green eyes going wide in the wake of his own words.
It goes like this:
Dick sees Jason’s hesitation in shedding his clothes and saying what he likes in bed, and says “come on, don’t tell me you’re a virgin.”
And Jason replies, “no, it’s just different… Having a choice about this.”
Jason’s an open book written in a language Dick doesn’t speak most of the time, but right now it’s not like that. Meaning is processed in a second, and Jason’s wide eyes are also interpreted: he hadn’t meant to say that. He did, and the knowledge is Dick’s.
A thrill runs through Dick’s body as he fully comprehends the situation. His first thought, though, is unkind. Worse than the joke is what passes through Dick’s mind for a brief second, the idea that Jason’s playing him for sympathy.
It’s not that, and Dick knows. He’s known for a while now, hasn’t he? Closed his eyes to what Bruce’s will could mean—used it against Jason because whatever it was his secret, Dick only cared about containing his brother.
There’s a shuffling noise which gets Dick out of his own head, putting a stop to the growing wave of guilt that was surely about to drown him.
Jason’s moving, swinging his legs over to the side of the bed, clearly intent on leaving.
“Wait,” Dick says. Jason looks at him, waiting like he said, and Dick doesn’t really know what to say. It’s a situation he doesn’t usually find himself in. “We can—I can show you things?”
Jason raises an eyebrow. “That’s not—” he pauses, gives Dick a pointed look. “Pretty sure I know a lot.”
The words hang between them, horrible in a way that makes Dick’s blood boil, but they are also said matter of factly, no drama at all. The words also make his mind wander, but Dick buried that deep, deep down.
“Yeah—” Dick agrees, trying not to let the words weigh him. “I mean, we can find out what you want. Together.”
There’s a moment of silence, and then Jason shrugs and nods. Dick wishes he could demand to know what kind of judgement is going inside his brother’s mind, why he is being given this.
Then again, maybe it’s better not to know, after all.
clark kent ticking the organ donor box on his drivers license automatically out of the goodness of his heart and then panicking because what if he actually dies somehow and some human gets a super heart what would even HAPPEN like he can't have his kryptonian retinas with laser vision donated to a random eight year old and so he has to awkwardly go back to the DMV to get it changed to not an organ donor but he's so embarrassed the whole time because the DMV employees will think he's a bad person that by the time he's done he has to go cry in the car
all (authentic) vc andrews novels are captivity novels but the only thing forcing the characters in place are their families. even in flowers in the attic, the infamous “locked in the attic” book, where the captivity is the most obvious, they have several opportunities to escape, and at one point discover they can escape at any time, but they choose not to out of loyalty to their mother. the two parts of vc andrews novels are realizing that they’re captive and realizing that they’re not captive.
steph who off-handedly mentions her time as robin in front of red hood once in the middle of a fight and he has no idea what she's talking about. when she regales damian—who's obsessed with the legacy of robin and his predecessors—he's just as surprised as hood. pure, genuine confusion, without a hint of malice. on her deathbed bruce told her of course you were robin. she only found out what his name was after he died. nobody ever brings up the fourth robin, the girl robin, in front of her except to berate her for being reckless and discourage her from being batgirl. tim was—is—furious that steph faked her death. she thought she was dead. her heart stopped. leslie wouldn't let her go back to gotham until she could move without fear of collapsing at any second. she still gets tremors, still feels overly cold no matter how warm it is. there were little girls she saved from muggings who looked up at robin with adoration in their eyes. nobody talks about steph being robin. batman held her hand when she died and promised her that her baby would be okay. steph is back and batman is dead. when she stands in the cave there is only one memorial for a dead robin. she can still perfectly remember the magical feeling of her first patrol by by batman's side, partners for once. steph doesn't know if bruce stayed by her side after her heart stopped, or what happened to her robin suit, which she hasn't seen since she last wore it. she doesn't know who to ask. she's not sure she wants to know the answer.
I know damian is overinvolved with dick’s gym job i know he’s emailing dick’s manager like hello. This is damian wayne. You are severely underpaying my older brother richard grayson. He is an Olympic level athlete teaching at your gym for (real actual numbers that hes researched) less than he could be making at a gym more suited to his skill level. Rectify this immediately.
What damian wants is for dick to have a nicer apartment and a new car mostly a new car. However dick likes his shitty apartment and the honda is 100% paid off and he Loves that thing he’ll be buried with it. Dick is picking damian up from his high school graduation in that thing. It’s already a decade old. He spray painted it blue when he got it (it was kind of a taupe color) and he’s not willing to physically or emotionally or monetarily go through the process of purchasing a car and then spray paint again. Damian Hates it he prays for the downfall of the honda he’s tried to figure out if he has matilda mind powers in that thing trying to total it with his mind. Dick keeps putting bumper stickers on it that say like MY CHILD IS A GOTHAM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GRADUATE! Damian tries to like convince him to remove them and starts sharing factoids about why you shouldnt personalize childrens items or have bumper stickers stating facts about your kids because predators can read it and use the knowledge to convince kids to get in a car with them and dick says “if you get into a car with a stranger both you and the stranger deserve whatever you do to each other” c tier parenting moment. He wakes up in the middle of the night later in a cold sweat and barges into Damian’s room and is like NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IF A STRANGER HURTS YOU IN ANY WAY I WILL NOT BLAME YOU OKAY. YOU WONT DESERVE IT. NOBODY DESERVES TO BE HURT. and damian (woke up from a dead sleep) is like get out of my room before i KILL YOU. C tier day all around.
