You're the expert on Sirius Black, obviously. Also Palpatine.

The first one is obvious, the second is both flattering and a dubious honor.

Jason and Damian, "It's not like I missed you or anything"

“It’s not like I missed you or anything,” Damian says, from where he’s leaning out Jason’s apartment window, trying to coax the neighbor’s cat to come visit. “While you were gone. I didn’t miss you.”

“You didn’t, huh?” Jason says, using the mirror he’s shaving with to glance Damian behind him. 

“Assuredly not,” Damian says, clipped. His back is still to Jason’s back, and quiet falls between them--there’s only the sounds of Jason’s razor dipping in and out of the water and Damian clicking his tongue at the cat. 

After a moment, Jason opens his mouth, ready to tease him about being in his apartment, when Damian says, “It’s just that Batman gets nervous when you leave for too long and don’t tell him.”

Jason freezes. He doesn’t say anything for a long while, only splashes water on his face to wash away the excess shaving cream. He’s mostly done, and he doesn’t think this conversation should involve a razor so close to his neck.

“Batman doesn’t get nervous,” he says at last. “And leave that damn cat alone.”

Damian slams the window shut and spins on heel to face Jason. His face is carefully blank, and Jason knows he’s fuming. 

“It’s entirely food motivated,” he offers, peeved. “And wholly attached to its owner, who is a little old lady you shouldn’t be petnapping from anyway.” 

“Grayson told me before you allowed The Joker to murder you,” Damian says, meeting Jason’s gaze with a cool look of his own, “that you had run away from Gotham.”

“Grayson,” Jason says, mockingly, fists clenching, “should keep his fat mouth shut about shit he doesn’t know.”

Damian folds his arms, calmly, not even bothering to defend Dick; it makes Jason angrier. 

“And,” Jason snarls, “you can tell Batman on your way outta here that his concern is noted, not needed, not wanted.”

 Damian sighs and lets his arms drop. He clasps his hands behind him and stands straight, his gaze shifting away from Jason to the ceiling. He doesn’t comment on the leak off to the corner when he says, “He does it to me, too.”

Jason blinks, startled out of his own anger. “What?” 

“Batman. Father--he does it to me too,” Damian says, giving Jason an annoyed look for not understanding immediately. “But he’s my father so I guess that makes sense.”

“He’s my dad too,” Jason snaps, then flushes, angry again, this time at himself for giving Damian and even Bruce that much, angry at Bruce for...everything, angry at Damian for bringing it up.

“Then call next time,” Damian commands imperiously, and he brushes past Jason and out the door before Jason can even chafe at the order.

Jason fumes about the brat all day, going as far as typing out a text to Dick (and deleting so he won’t have to talk to Dick) about keeping the kid in line. He isn’t planning to give anyone any type of satisfaction, but he can’t get any peace, so cursing Damian, he goes to the Manor for dinner that night and pretends to ignore that Bruce’s startled, scrutinizing gaze looks just a touched relieved, though his mouth presses thin when he sees Jason, and the entirely too smug smile Damian wears until Jason throws a roll at him.

You may not want to be remembered for you BRF RPF but the first scene I think of is the one where Charles and Diana argue about the trip to Disney World lol.

I feel like that scene just encapsulates our friendship at some level...totally absurd but also slightly pretentious

You want prompts? Claudia and Soren, "I trust you with my life."

“The thing is, Claudia,” Soren says, leaning back on his hands; he’s not looking at her, but up at the sky. She’ll know he’s scared anyway--she’s his sister.

“Yeah?” she asks. She’s watching him intently after her confession, and he can hear the tremble in her voice, so he looks at her and gives her a smile. 

“The thing is, Claudia,” Soren repeats, “I trust you with my life. But I trust Dad too.” He ignores the lurch in his stomach when he thinks of what Viren has asked him to do. “So maybe--”

“Soren!” Claudia protests. 

“So maybe he has a good reason! I mean, he’s Dad right?” he continues over her. “Dad’s smart, he knows stuff.” 

“I guess,” Claudia says doubtfully. 

"Maybe it’s more...” he screws up his face, trying to remember. “...Nuanced! Yeah, that’s the word.  More nuanced. Maybe it’s more nuanced than we know.”

“Maybe,” she agrees. 

He elbows her because she still looks nervous and grins when she looks up. “And anyway,” he adds, “you won’t have to choose!”

“I didn’t think so either!” Claudia says, perking up a little. “I didn’t think we’d run into any trouble! I only said it joking to Dad and then he was serious.”  

Soren fights back the grimace, and laughs instead. “See, you know better! I’m too fit to get into any danger.” 

She rolls her eyes and giggles as he flexes. “Yeah,” she says. “Yeah, you’re right.” 

“Of course I am,” he says, because he doesn’t want to think about how he’s not sure if his feelings are hurt or he’s just scared and trying to be brave.

He’s just right. He trusts Claudia--and he trusts his dad.

Headcanon meme: Remus Lupin

Headcanon A:  realistic

Lyall Lupin is familiar with the Black Family and he absolutely hates that his son is best friends with Sirius. He does his best to hide it, is cordial to Sirius when he comes to visit (which isn’t often), but Remus always kind of knows 

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

tbh any interaction between him and Snape in poa is HILARIOUS to think about. i like to think they had an off period around the same time and often ended up in the staff room together 

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

okay like remus’ life is heart-crushing and awful enough AS IS OKAY but i kinda think he was getting ready to have a big talk with Dumbledore about Sirius because his little talks with Sirius aren’t helping and he’s been trapped in that house for almost a year and something’s gotta give

what gives is Sirius dies of course and he never gets the chance to run interference :) 

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

tbh i accept most of JKR’s canon. 

this probably doesn’t make sense timeline wise so it counts, but i’d like remus visiting sirius in the tropics wherever he is. they both could use a Break

Jar Jar is a better character than Rose Tico.

you mean interesting, dynamic, compelling, original, naturally integrated into the storyline and has a real puprose?

he’s definitely better
