i don't think we, as a fandom, talk about the fact that sam is a vampire.
what... what will darlin' do... what will sam do...
guys. GUYS. I NEED AN ANSWER. can you de-vamp-ify someone. are they just going to grow old and sam has to watch the love of his life slowly die before his eyes knowing he'll be left alone again after everyone he loves is gone.
GUYS.
like the same applies for porter but RIGHT NOW IM WORRIED ABOUT SAM
Ideas from @orville-duck 's headcanon that seer (castle audios) and actress Foster's listner are the same person.
Seer not trusting Foster enough to tell her about magic. Them explaining visions as migrains.
Them having a vision of Sebastian's death and that's why they pushed so hard for him not to stay with them and not let him and Foster get close.
Foster comming to glenwood for whatever reason. Seer having told Beth all about her. Them running into each other and Beth on the verge of punching Foster. Especially when Foster lk tries to get Seer back.
Beth being hired as the costume designer for a bit and having to work with Foster.
Ranger is a fan of Sophia. And Seer and her still being friends, she comes over to Glenwood and is at the den and Ranger is in the corner just kinds freaking out. Seer ends up getting a signed thing for them.
When Seer and Beth are moving they find a box of old stuff, like thier wedding ring and a photo album. And that's how Beth finds out about Foster.

astronaut: i mean, it was hard to keep track. somewhere around six months, if i had to guess.
nasa employee: damn.
astronaut: yeah.
nasa employee: and in those six MONTHS, the best zinger you came up with was “shoot for the moon”?
astronaut: hey, you know what, i had some other stuff on my mind!
nasa employee: i mean, i guess. it sounded like you found time to flirt with me each time.
astronaut: yeah, like i said. other stuff on my mind.

astronaut: sooooooo. you’re sure your mom is cool with me coming over for dinner?

nasa employee: well, i’ll have left overs from my mom, and you might too if you play your cards right. day after tomorrow?
astronaut: honestly, anytime is good for me.
If we ever get a Warden and Vega BA this is my formal request for there to be a scene where Warden sheds their glamour and afterwards instead of holding hands and kissing they and Vega touch horns and intertwine their tails while laughing
Alfred: Master Bruce, Damian is spending one night with John. You will be fine.
Bruce: Yes. Of course. I, a middle aged man, can go without coddling one of my children for one night.
Bruce:
Bruce, already dialing numbers: Tim, would you like to spend the night at the manor? We could patrol together like old times. We haven't done that since you told me you were dating boy Stephanie.
Tim: You mean when I came out as bi on Christmas on top of gargoyles??
Bruce: . . . Is that a yes, or?
Tim: No, sorry, I have a date with Bernard and the night off... I'm free Friday though! And I have this really cool case—
Bruce: Okay bye.
Bruce: Dammit! I hate when they have relationships and lives outside crime fighting.
Alfred: I am aware, Master Bruce.
Bruce, dialing another number: Hey, chum, are you busy tonight?
Dick: . . . Uh.
Dick, looking around the literal spaceship he's in currently:
Dick, looking to the Titans:
Dick, looking at the bandages covering most of his torso:
Dick: Yes—
Bruce, hanging up: I did not adopt this many kids to never be able to see any of them. I know you said no more, Alfred, but—
Alfred: Not unless you marry one of them many fine women you have charmed and have a child that does not dress as a flashlight, storybook character, or animal.
Bruce, groaning as he dials another number: Cass! Sweetheart! My only daughter! How are you? We haven't seen each other in a while. Would you like to spend the night and patrol together?
Cassandra: Sorry, can't.
Bruce: Why not?
Cassandra: It is... personal.
Bruce: . . . You guys have personal lives now?!
Cassandra: Tim is missing a spleen.
Bruce: Tim is irrelevant until he breaks up with his boyfriend and buries himself into his work again.
Cassandra: . . .
Bruce: That sounded bad.
Cassandra: Yes... Okay bye I'm going to go have rooftop sex with Stephanie now.
Bruce, staring at the phone as he's hung up on:
Bruce: . . . Do I have more kids?
Alfred: Do you?
Bruce: I do...
Bruce, reluctantly dialing another number:
Bruce: Hello, my sweet darling angel baby boy.
Jason, with gunfire in the background, deadpanning: Hi, Dad.
Jason, shooting two men in the head:
Bruce: So, how have you been?
Jason: I shot the Joker in the dick last week.
Bruce: And I'm very proud of you for avoiding anything important. How has being a drug lord been?
Jason, sighing heavily, running a hand down his helmet-face: I sold a lot of heroine and meth. Is that what you wanna hear? That meth sales are up?
Bruce: It's better than the cyanide craze that happened last month when Gotham banned divorce for a weekend.
Jason: Yeah. So. Did you need something, or..?
Bruce: Oh. Right.
Bruce: Would you like to stay at the manor tonight?
Jason: . . . Who's asking?
Bruce: Me.
Jason: Oh god.
Jason: Did Damian die again?
Bruce: No, no, he's just—
Jason: Where's Tim?!
Bruce: He's dating boy Stephanie.
Jason: F*CK, I HATE BLONDE PEOPLE! Always ruining my nights!
Jason: Dick!?
Bruce: He's somewhere doing something. He's alive. That's as much as I check on usually with that one.
Jason: What is Cassandra doing!? She's literally unemployed!
Bruce: Stephanie.
Jason: Is she trying to bag the entire family? Good for her, but dammit!
Jason: Okay. Uh. Duke?!
Bruce: He's apparently not mine "legally" and has a "Mom."
Jason: What about Selina!?
Bruce: Why don't you want to spend time with your Father? :(
Jason: Why don't you want alone time?
Bruce: Jason Peter Todd-Wayne, name a full year I went without adopting another child when the manor was empty.
Jason: . . . Damn it! I need to get a girlfriend! Or Roy in a dress! Or just Roy!
Bruce: Get custody of his daughter as well if you do. I miss having a child around :(
Jason: Yeah, but Gotham citizens did a petition to stop you from adopting kids.
Bruce: I don't understand why :/
Jason: Bane wrote a ten paragraph letter as to why.
Bruce: . . . So, you'll come over? :)
Jason: Fine! Sure! Whatever! But you're sitting in on the zoom call I have tonight with my therapist!
Bruce: Hrn... A fine sacrifice. I'll get the photo albums ready.
