actors on actors except it’s supes on supes. And the first characters I’d stick in a room together is Homelander and John Walker

[magic-glasses]

Uhm. John would obviously hate homelander for being a murderer and insecure freakazoid, plus being an active insult to America?

John Walker is just a soldier with trauma and guilt from serving, and then when he became cap his mental state worsened to the point of him committing murder and losing almost everything. He’s a broken man, and I suppose a “complex” character.

He’s not insane, murderous, or a piece of shit (like a certain other blonde individual), he’s a mentally ill guy who did not very good things in result of said mental illnesses.

But if I even mention Loki, Wanda, Zemo, ect, y’all will hop up and down on their dicks so hard it’s just straight up embarrassing 😭

Anyway, sorry for the yapping. My autistic ass no like mischaracterization.

Edit: also it’s lowkey giving ableism considering how obvious his ptsd and bpd symptoms and coding are, but whatever.

Jason Todd Autopsy Thoughts

- When a body gets autopsied, the technician stuffs all their organs in a bag that gets sewn back up in their body.

- Jason Todd was autopsied

- when Jason Todd came back to life there is a high likelihood that his organs were still bundled up in a viscera bag

- Jason Todd could get shot in the chest and not flinch bc that’s not where his heart is (it’s in his belly, yum)

You’re a criminal, you’ve caught the Red Hood. Your boss tells you to gut him pelvis to sternum. You do. Slowly, a plastic bag full of internal organs slides out of his body and *schlopps* to the ground. The Red Hood is not phased. You immediately quit your job.

Side note from @ooglesdoogles :

If you inject the bag full of Lazarus water, will the organs form a second Jason Todd? Self-mpreg with his clone?

In a universe where Damian was raised by Bruce since birth and never was told his siblings were adopted

Damian, age 12 helping unpacking things at Dicks new apartment: whos that?

Dick: Who?

Damian: That guy in the photo with you

Dick:

Dick: you mean- my dad? I never showed my parents to you?

Damian: there is no way thats our dad

Dick: our? Damian you- you know I’m adopted right?

Damian:

Dick:

Dick: we are all adopted, Damian.

Damian:

Damian: Even Cass?

Dick: you were there at her adoption.

Damian: I’m twelve! Probably didn’t payed attention to it.

Dick: you never asked yourself why do we don’t call Bruce ‘dad’?

Damian: I thought it was some petty teenager thing!

Dick: I’M 26!

Damian:

Damian: is Tim adopted?

Dick: yes?

Damian: knew it.

As someone who is partially Roma/Romani, I feel the need to give my pov on how Dick is usually portrayed:

There is nothing wrong with being Roma and having light skin and/or light eyes. I see so many fans screaming about making Dick representative of Roma through his skin colour and so many people talking about giving him "roma features", but Roma people don't have a singular look (just like every other race and ethnic group), so insisting he be consistently portrayed as having "ethnic" features can sometimes overshadow the point of fighting for an "accurate roma dick grayson" within the fandom. The point is that the culture and heritage that dick would have experienced and grown up in until Bruce took him in isn't erased or neglected, and yes that can include racial discrimination based on looks, but in my opinion- he could be blonde with the brightest blue/gray eyes and as long as he's still accurately portrayed as being culturally roma, it's a good representation.

That being said- representing him as having darker skin and phenotypically common features (such as a large/longer sloped nose and semi-slanted eyes) isn't an awful way of acknowledging his ancestry. Fanart is an amazing thing and if you feel that Dick looks better with these features, that's great! But it's also important to remember that just making him brown doesn't represent much, so it's important to recognize ethnic characters while keeping the things that make them ethnic.

So tldr:

Brown doesn't always equal good ethnic representation, especially if the culture surrounding that character's story is ignored.

[cowbandits]

This is something I've never thought about before but is really interesting. What would you say would be better to represent the cultural side of his heritage then? Both in fan and canon works that is. I'm a big fan of dick grayson and I always love learning better ways to understand his character, especially parts canon tends to ignore

[ooglesdoogles]

Roma/Romani isn't a standard set culture, so in my opinon, I think picking a specific region or group of romani (such as lithuanian, turkish, US) can help narrow down the influence Dick would have on his early childhood- most likely in the forms of food, fashion, beliefs, and language. Look into traditions within these groups and really take into consideration how those would translate over an immigrant's life (speaking specifically about the idea that The Flying Grayson's were part of an international circus. If they're a few generations removed from being immigrants within the US, think about how the culture of the US would shape Dick's life when mixed with a home culture of Romani traditions.

Having him be physically designed to look more stereotypically Romani isn't a travesty, don't get me wrong. I love love love seeing characters that are canonically not white get any sort of nod towards that (cough cough damian constantly being whitewashed in everything but the fanart and fics), but small things like inclusion of language, culturally/familially-significant patterns on clothing/art or jewelry, handmade toys, foods, religions and other smaller, more specific features of cultural representation are good things to look into when writing about characters from other cultures. (Also note that if the circus was multi-racial/ethnic/national, those cultures would also influence him as a young child.)

And on that note: also keep in mind how significant these things are for the characters AND the real people. So many Roma have lost their lives and had their cultural practices stripped from them and the future generations, so there may be spots where information is missing or isn't common knowledge, and that's okay, but try to avoid making stuff up or adding in you're own twists. You don't have to be an expert on every part, just learn as you go along and do your research.

Thank you for the question!!

I don’t know if anyone has ever done this before but, here ya go… The Different Types of Fanfiction! 

I probably left a few out, but these are the most common, compared to their base fiction’s canon plot. Enjoy! XD

I'm always on my Bruce acted like Damian when younger shit, but I'm also on my Oliver was eerily similar to Cass when young bullshit

Look, that man might have been stranded on an island for a year(s) but no other person would get into that situation and decide that the most reasonable choice was to dismantle the drug ring on the island with nothing but a bow and barely any training.

So I like to think that Ollie was always a little fucked, just uncomfortably wrong in a way that most people wouldn't understand. that actually being why Bruce likes him when they first meet.

Him being unnaturally quiet, not when speaking of course, it's Oliver Queen, no one can get him to be quiet when speaking unless he wanted to, but quiet in the way of being able to sneak up on people without even trying. Just appearing in a room and scaring everybody, even when someone is keeping an eye on him, he'll inevitably slip away and reappear a few hours later in a place that he's not supposed to be.

when Bruce and Ollie first met, Bruce liked him because he kinda scared the shit out of him, there was a look to him that just set off of the warning signs in Bruce's head and of course that means that he needed to friends with Ollie immediately.

And later, when Bruce's mouth inevitably got him into trouble, he never had to worry about what would happen after he won because Oliver would always jump in first. people learned very quickly that you can't fuck with one of them without the other being there too.

in the first few months of Oliver being the GA, Batman comes to Starling for something and tries to slip away after being spotted, but Oliver is able to hunt him through the city. No matter what Bruce tries, GA is always two steps behind and getting closer. finally Bruce is able to lose him at the edge of town (Oliver doesn't lose him, he just knows that Batman is leaving and sees no reason to keep going after him) and decides right then that the Green Arrow is never allowed within Gotham, that no other vigilante is allowed in Gotham.

Years down the line, after the JL is up and both of them are in it, Bruce questions whether he should tell Ollie that he's the Bat, but Oliver already knows, has know since the first time that they fought side by side, because no one has fit so perfectly beside him since those days in school. the days that he was the blinding sunlight in front, the fist that everyone paid attention to, so no one noticed the dark shape in the shadows Oliver had cast, the knife that you didn't even realizes was there until it was being pulled out of your ribs. of course Oliver knew that Bruce was Batman, he would have shot him with an arrow on that first mission if he hadn't.
