it’s very funny to grow up and become the age you used to think adults were so old and wise at and realize that their inner monologue was ABSOLUTELY “shit shit shit shit shit shit” the whole time

“I can fix him” okay but I can fix the narrative. I can recontextualize events and bring out depths of character. I can shift priorities and strengthen relationships and show that anyone can change with enough kindness and support, and that what you admired in him has been inside yourself this whole time.

There is something so special about teen superhero team dynamics, from Power Rangers to magical girls and everything in between.

I help you fight evil. I let you sleep on my lap when we get back home. I know everything about you, things your parents never will. We've almost died together. We study for tests together. We are discovering ourselves. I hope I still know you in ten years. You turned evil once. I still got you a birthday present.

an underrated detail in pride and prejudice is that elizabeth bennett was home alone on the day darcy proposed because she had a headache. can you imagine. this was in the pre-painkillers era. you're at home with a headache and then this asshole walks into the room and tells you he loves you and wants to marry you even though he hates your whole family and you're beneath him. imagine having to deal with that while also having a headache. she doesn't even have ibuprofen

Everyone's all "just let the speedsters kill" and "they're subjecting people to fates worse than death" and "please god, why, death would be more merciful than this" but no one stops to think that they do kill, actually. Surprisingly often.

They don't go to extremes to avoid breaking some sort of 'no killing rule'. They go to extremes because they know death would be a mercy. That or they aren't emotionally capable of killing that particular person. Either way, there's no logic involved. It's pure unregulated emotion.

[givemewallywestorgivemedeath]

Every time I post something fucked up that a speedster has done instead of killing people will tag the post 'sometimes its better to kill' and 'this is worse than killing' and I wholeheartedly agree, the stuff they do breaks the Geneva Convention 100%.

But that's... that's kinda the point.

Wally put Hunter in a time loop to relive his worst trauma endlessly because Wally wanted him to suffer for what he did to his children. Bart stuck Superboy Prime in the Speedforce and put him on a barren planet with red sunlight to make him pay for what he had done to Conner. Wally turned Thad into a living statue because he wanted Thad to know that he was inferior to Bart in every way.

These weren't actions taken under some misguided sense of justice. This was not behavior modified to fit a no kill rule. They did this because they wanted to.

They are good people because they want to be. They're heroes because they want to be heroes. They don't kill because they don't want to and they don't need to.

But if they want to kill? If they want to inflict suffering and pain? Then they will. There typically needs to be a reason for that change but once that criteria is met it's pretty easy.

[givemewallywestorgivemedeath]

This was all pure rage. Grief. Vengeance. They wanted to do this.

Do you know how many times Bart killed Thad in VR? Bart trained himself to hunt Thad down and kill him. He enjoyed it.

And these?? These were not idol threats.

They were ready and prepared to kill. They only stopped because they got new information that changed the situation. That's it.

sorry but the idea of bruce being dick's father in his mid 20s. he's always a little tired but otherwise he's young and looks it too. he can pick dick up with one hand to put him on his shoulders. he doesn't know jack about taking care of kids. they play a game that they both love where bruce picks him up and just like... throws him off of the spiraling staircase to watch how he catches himself in the air and lands unharmed. they play soccer together in the backyard and bruce is so young and spry and he can do a bicycle kick (dick goes to school and tells everyone that bruce can do a bicycle kick. not to flex but he's really cool guys.) he lets dick make dino nuggets as their dinner three nights in a row when alfred is gone and they make a stupid big everything but the kitchen sink sundae and split it afterwards. kid you're killing me, he says, because he has a sweet tooth that alfred doesn't enable. maybe sometimes they argue and argue bad, especially as dick grows up, but at the end of the day that's his dad.

one day like ten fifteen years later when damian is young dick looks at bruce and all the sudden what happened.... his dad has crow's feet and his hair is graying a little...! that sort of tiredness that people get as they age! he's still strong he's the fucking batman but when damian wants to play a game (being hurled off the balcony into the pool) bruce looks at dick and smiles and he's got lines on his face. he's aging. and that's still bruce but he doesn't laugh with his head thrown back anymore and he doesn't style his hair the way he used to when he was in his 20s and he's stopped wearing the loose button ups with the first button undone he wore when he picked him up from school in the convertible. his dad is getting older and even bruce wayne can't escape the passage of time. he tells damian no being thrown off the roof. damian protests. but grayson says you used to throw him off the staircase when he was my age. bruce throws his hands up and turns away and gives dick a look before he goes that tells him he'll be in his office and if there happens to be a loud splash from the pool... well that's none of his business is it.

PRECIOUS CINNAMON ROLL

[capsrecedinghairline]

Dick: “I’m not his real kid. I’m the only one he didn’t adopt.”

Jason: “I’m not his real kid. He didn’t avenge me, he doesn’t really love me.”

Tim: “I’m not his real kid. I forced my way into this family when he was grieving his actual son, he never wanted me.”

Damian: “I might be the blood son, but I’m not his real kid. I’m the only one he didn’t choose.

Duke: “I’m not his real kid. I’m the odd one out in this family, and technically I still have my parents.

Stephanie: “…”

Stephanie: “Every day I thank God I’m not his real kid.”

Bruce’s contingency plan for Green Arrow going evil is literally just the words “your kids would make fun of you for eternity if you lost a 1v1 with Oliver Queen” on a piece of paper

[bruciemilf]

Dick: You're Bruce's favorite, you know that, right?

Jason: I am LITERALLY not, but okay.

Dick: Yeah? Call him a bitch right now.

Jason: Wha- I don't, - I don't feel like it

Dick: Chicken?

Jason: I- Fine. Hey, B! In case you forgot, you're a bitch!

Bruce, reading the newspaper, only glaring a little bit: Hn.

Dick: Okay. Hey, B? You're kind of a jerk.

Bruce, immediately standing up: What did you say, Richard John Grayson?!
