Bruce with baby!Jason and toddler!Dick

Dick figuring out words but moves like he has no bones, cartwheeling, and Bruce has to keep running before him because Dick forgets the room eventually ends and then gets his forehead straight into a wall

Baby Jason Soo sweet and affectionate. Doesn't know how to give Bruce kisses so he'll kiss Bruce by bitting (but don't worry he doesn't have teeth yet)

Baby Jason being carried by toddler Dick is SOOO cute. Alfred taking pics, he's a proud grandpa

Dick likes when Bruce holds him upside down and giggles so loud it echoes. Jason who sometimes get so tired but still want to stay awake to play with Dick and Bruce

Jason will eat anything if he sees his big brother eating too. Jason who loves to watch cartoon with stories. He'll nod along to what Bruce says to him

Bruce getting back from a mission, says "ouch". Jason sees it, says "ooouch?"

Bruce will be talking to Dick and Jason will start to cry because he wants to be included in the conversation! He'll even babble along

One of those grey but comforting evenings where there's lots of rain and wind, Bruce flat out dead (sleeping) in the couch, Jason napping in his chest, Dick between the couch and Bruce and using his arm (that is not holding Jason up) as a pillow, snoring

Jason that pouts when he's focused (playing with his teether). Isn't easily tickled but does laugh when Bruce kisses his feet

His first word is "dick"

My problem with RR Deadpool isn't that he is different, my problem is that he's completely stripped down until all left is a joke.

A humourous funny character, a comedy movie for adults. All trauma played down for fart jokes.

Exactly of what he should not be. RR's character depth is a tunnel painted on a wall, Will E. Coyote style. You look closer and there's nothing but a ground where fans are to dig to find development. And don't get me wrong, a fandom can and will make their own version of that character.

No, that should not be considered a character. That's a flanderization, a parody at best. Deadpool was killed in front of all of us and nobody cared. Not even a "Sad Clown" anymore, not the butt of his own jokes because humor is his coping mechanism, no suicidal ideation, no sadistic ambitions, no cycle of doing heinous stuff and killing innocent people and then trying to be better again. Because killing is a way of self-harm. No "Deadpool makes everyone run away from him because he is afraid of vulnerability and is drowning in his own loathing". No "Wade self-fueling prophecy Wilson". He jumps straight into wanting to be a hero without a single smidge of hesitation.

Which is poetic justice.

Of course, in the end, he would be seen as a joke; a desirable piece of meat for fanfics; a narrative tool and nothing else.

Consider: saying Rogueneto is a power imbalance ship and thus is toxic is a disservice to Rogue because she is powerful, both in actual superpower and personality

Here's me, more of a rant than anything:

Rogue's not a damsel in distress. Even if she can't absorb Erik directly – as it is the case in 97' but not most of other universe, including comics and animations (ie. Watxm or Evo) – Rogue can still keep up by absorbing literally everyone around. She's never helpless

Age gaps aren't intrinsically unbalanced. The term "power imbalance" can't inherently refer to an age gap because it means one of them can dominate decisions in a relationship because they have financial power, influence and resourcefulness.

Wouldn't Jean (as Phoenix) x Scott also be a power imbalanced and thus toxic if we applied the same rules to them because Phoenix is a million years older and also much more powerful? Or Storm x Wolverine, since Ororo is Rogue's age?

Not to say that X-Men 97' is the only place where they had a relationship close to teacher/student. He wasn't even her mentor. Yes, she was living on the citadel by an undisclosed amount of time, but let's remember that if she wanted to leave he wouldn't be able to stop her. And, if you consider a (legal adults) teacher/student to be inherently predatory... I can't do anything about that. Just never get close to colleges.

Saying that Erik took advantage of her, that this was grooming or abuse is horrible– please don't use real world problems to express your discontent with a fictional couple that doesn't even fit the term you're trying to use

And saying that Magneto was manipulative by offering a crown to her... He was asking. Rogue could step back– she did. Would you prefer he didn't and left her for Genosha? (Like she was going to do to Remy). Because, to me, Erik considering her fit to rule is romantic

I just have this vaguely shaped scene in my head involving rogueneto

Just. Soft. Gentleness that they both didn't have the opportunity to have before

Running away in a short vacation. A weak and the beach, alone but together. Rogue not having to worry over having her skin all covered, using summer clothes, Erik making them breakfast

Rogue having a tan for the first time in a long time. Them misty morning by the sea, sun bathing. Salty skins. Stargazing. Cuddling, talking in whispers, Erik tracing her tattoos

I have this burned vision of Rogue using a soft sheer robe and sundress, appreciating sunset, warm touching her skin like never before. The air made out of gold, wind sticky, their hair messy,

And Erik just hopelessly in love

I don't know if this makes sense but Dick and Bruce are kind of brothers (but not really) in the Lilo & Stitch way. It's Nani and Lilo. Do you understand?? Do you even get it? It's the bond that is not entirely one thing only, it's shifting to fit the circumstances. It's a parental love but they're siblings your honor, Bruce is his father no doubt but also Dick is just his little lad. Can you understand me???

Really?? Happy Nation playing five seconds before shit hits the fan?? The fact the lyrics just tells you what's going to happen I- the whole dance sequence?? He wanted to make her his queen,,

And can you imagine how touch starved Rogue is?? Imagine not being able to touch people for your whole life?? The dance started so polite, they floating and Rogue's on control and then as soon he has the green lights Magneto losing all filter– sir you're in public

The whole "we're travelling in time" right before Cable shows up trying to prevent the massacre from happening (?) telling people to stop the music, just desperate before death falls from the sky

Leech saying "Callisto's going to save us" but we just saw Callisto's corpse going cold, then "If not her, then Magneto," and Erik dying trying to do save them. "They shall be avenged" and angry tears of Magneto

Erik having to go through it all again, Erik dying with his heart broken but still saving Rogue because he do love her, having to prevent Rogue from jumping into danger and having to prevent Gambit too because Gambit would follow her into the depths of hell (just like he would). The thousand-words stare, their locked eyes

At first one must've thought that the whole telepathic headshot aimed to Jean but taking into consideration how more fierce and visceral Madelyn's reaction was I think it was directed to her actually, and Jean felt because of some remnant of psych bond

Cable's "not again-" (did this happen before?? How many times did he try to prevent this from happening?) "I'm sorry, mom" towards Madelyn I– is she dead now?

Not the first time Rogue feels Gambit skin being the only time she can't feel him. Feeling his dead body growing cold, not breathing, not being able to feel him

"we would carry the dream but never live it" got me thinking that maybe Magneto is dead despite my best hopes, that maybe Rogue is going to assume as the queen of a broken dream, a devasted land and grieving people

"how many?" well, most of them. Dazzler probably, Callisto definitely, maybe Shaw, maybe Moira, maybe Banshee

The episode starts as a love letter to mutants, to Xavier's dreams, and ends up in a bloodied massacre

Nothing's good gonna happen if you see the Watcher sneaking up and known time travellers scrambling around

I particularly love when Damian is made by genetically merging Talia and Bruce's dna because when he tries to claim being the true son his siblings can pull "you were made in a lab" card
