“I wish I could offer you a King who is greater than I am. I can’t turn into someone else; I can only be me. But I have discovered that I too am stronger than I thought I was.”

I love both iterations of this kind boy and his dragon.

[pluckyredhead]

Is it just me or has a lot of fandom forgotten what "AU" means? It's short for Alternate Universe. I keep seeing people talking about, like, "fake dating AU" or "only one bed AU." Unless your characters exist in a world where a) beds don't exist or b) beds exist in such abundance there could not POSSIBLY be only one of them, that's not an AU. It's just a regular degular story.

[pluckyredhead]

Okay I truly expected this to get like 5 notes, what is happening. Anyway some of these tags are bonkers. "An AU describes anything that doesn't happen in canon" bestie that's what fic is. You're literally describing fanfiction. Is there a huge category of fics that just summarize canon that I'm missing? What on earth is going on.

And for the "what about canon divergence" folks out there:

Fic where the Avengers are starship pilots or cowboys or, idk, cavemen or something <- THIS IS AN AU

Fic where Bucky becomes Captain America in the 1940s instead of Steve <- THIS IS ALSO AN AU, just the canon divergence kind

Fic where Sam and Bucky hook up during or after TFAWS <- not? an AU?? just because they didn't film it???

"What about if it's an AU where the Avengers are all giant slime creatures AND there's only one bed, that's an Only One Bed AU" bro c'mon.

Eah Headcanons

- duchess, briar, and cerise are super tall

- maddie can tell the future. not very far into it but just enough that she knows what’s about to happen

- sparrow paints his nails black. for some reason this fits him so much and I don’t know why

- dexter codes video games in his free time and asks humphrey to test them

- the mad hatter owns several tea shops and accepts every form of payment (even telling a joke or riddle)

- I feel like bunny would cut her hair at home every so often (don’t ask why I just feel like she would do this)

- also alistair and eyeliner? I saw someone on tiktok say this and I don’t know how to feel

- apples mother had a private chef make her healthy meals because she’s scared apple will become unhealthy and therefore unfairest

- ashlynn carries bandages and stuff for hunter because he’s always getting hurt and refuses to get his wounds fixed

spellify wrapped 2024 in ever after high headcanons

apple having an identity crisis because chappell throne dethroned one reflection from her number one spot and she usually puts her wrapped on her story and she's panicking because what if her followers thinks something different about her and *cue gay panic*. darling also has chappell as her top artist but she just posts it without caring what others think and apple stares for hours at darling's story.

raven isn't surprised her top artist is tailor quick and posts about it and goes about her day. dexter sees her story and also posts that his top artist is also tailor. he tries to bring this up when he sees her that day and tries to mention that he has some extra eras tour tickets and if she would like to come. unfortunately raven had plans that day but maddie overhears their conversation and volunteers to with dexter. dexter ends up going with maddie and while he wanted to go with raven, he still had a fun time.

hopper posts that his top artist is *NCHANT and cupid and briar roast him alive. he spends an hour fighting for his life defending his wrapped in their groupchat and it ends with him agreeing to listen to the playlists they send him. briar sends lady yaga mixes while cupid sends sabrina charming mixes. cupid and briar wonder how hopper got such bad taste in music when they don't hear nchant at any of the clubs they go to. hopper bites his tongue and doesn't mention that they sing and dance to nchant at bookball practice instead of practicing

[wormpiratesblog]

imagine being raven and apples' dorm neighbors. one night they'd be like "I HOPE YOUR FUCKING FAMILY DIES" "THAT MAKES TWO OF US!" and the next morning it's like "morning sweety :)" "i made you coffee! <3"

[timmydraker]

Tim, doomscrolling on his Twitter and reposting all the memes about him surviving being Kirk-ed before the Kirk-ed himself got Kirk-ed: ha ha, that’s hilarious

Tim, waking up in the middle of his sleep with a cold sweat: that was my offical account…

Tim, thinking about how much of a HR and public image nightmare this is going to be and how Tam and Lucius are tear him a new one and Bruce will probably give him those sad dad eyebrows or the scary bat-glare because Tim’s technically celebrating murder: oh no…

Tim, not even two minutes later: eh, he shoud’na died from something so easy to survive then.

Olympics AU: media coverage… and then some ;)

[jasontoddscrowbars]

Jason: Everytime I think about Twilight I think about how if I was dating Edward, if I got diarrhea in his house, that everyone would hear every little sound.

Jason: that would just be a deal breaker for me.

Jason: I’d spend every waking second worrying about passing wind.

Damian: how often do you think about Twilight?

Jason blushes.

Dick: better yet, how often do you think about dating Edward?

Jason: I don’t-

Jon disappointedly: yeah Jason.

Jon: raise your standards.

Jon: fantasize about Carlisle. He’s rich and he’s a doctor.

Tim, grinning: is that why you’re dating Damian?

Jon:

Damian turning to Jon as if this was news:

Jon: no.

Jon: yes.

Jon: partially.

Jon: but I love you too, either way even if you were an Edward.

Damian: gee, thanks.

Tim: ehh. Husband goals, everyone.

Damian: Father.

Bruce: Damian, whatever you and your siblings are doing is distressing me. Please stop.

Bruce:

Damian: Anyways, that is all, Father. [walks away]

Bruce, completely distracted, staring at the ceiling: Besides the fact that my children are all horrible, conniving little creatures of chaos? Everything is dandy.

Alfred: Good. I've been meaning to look for you.

Bruce: Why? Has something happened?

Alfred: Oh yes, quite. I just washed a spoon.

Bruce:

(Spoiler: he doesn’t.)

We're Adopted?!? by schrijverr - https://archiveofourown.org/works/52631458 Summary: When Bruce’s kids end up on the Watchtower due to a set of unforeseen circumstances, Jason first tries to get the League to believe that they’re all biologically related to Bruce. He tries to avoid having Jason give everyone a sex talk by reminding him that he’s adopted. This leads to all his kids pretending that this is the first time they’ve heard of it, much to the horror of the League and the exasperation of Bruce.

When Did You Adopt Our Kids? by Deathpetal - https://archiveofourown.org/works/70539141/chapters/183280286 Summary: As the Justice League keeps expanding, more and more younger gen heroes join the fight with them. But something weird keeps happening, they seem to be more comfortable with scary Batman than their actual mentors. And to think, it all started because Batman wanted to find a playmate for Robin the first… OR: five times the Justice League were baffled to realize their proteges liked interacting with Batman, and the one time they found out why.

Bring Your Kid to Work Day by Lazy_art_girl - https://archiveofourown.org/works/27843808/chapters/68169583 Summary: The Justice League is hosting a "Bring your kid to work" day, but no one told Batman. Fortunately (but not for Batman) his kids have him covered.

Bring Your Robin To Work Day by lemonlimemadness - https://archiveofourown.org/works/60815992 Summary: “So!” Dick says with great fanfare, throwing himself across Bruce’s designated chair with nary a care in the world. The Justice League look on with a mix of befuddled awe, like they’ve never seen a child dressed up like a traffic light before. Which they haven't. Bruce mentally steels himself as Dick clears his throat. “Why am I here, you ask? Well, when two people love one another very, very much-” “You’re adopted.” Bruce says. Or; Bruce lets Dick attend a Justice League meeting on the Watchtower. Bruce has regrets.

All of My Issues (buried deep inside of me) by loreoftheforgotten -https://archiveofourown.org/works/47343901/chapters/119296552 Summary: Everything about a gala was unbearable, but at the very least it would give him time to observe the Waynes outside of their suits. It isn’t often he interacts with them as civilians - and really using the word interact is being generous - so at the very least, he has that to look forward to. Sometimes he feels a bit odd, practically idolizing this family that only knows of his existence because of his last name. But it helps. The loneliness that sometimes feels far too suffocating to be intangible is always lessened by the Waynes. Tim likes to pretend that he’s a part of their family, that they know him and don’t scold him for his fidgeting and actually listen to him. OR Tim has made a mistake, he fell asleep and missed his parents leaving the gala and now Bruce Wayne - otherwise known as freaking Batman - thinks he's being abused. Not wanting to cause any more trouble, Tim agrees to stay at Wayne Manor until his parents get back so that Tim can prove they are good parents. They're not abusive, or neglectful or anything! But the longer Tim stays at Wayne Manor, the harder it gets to pretend to be normal. But he can't let himself be a bother, or the Waynes might just abandon him too.

His mother would criticize him for making a project plan without doing a SWOT analysis first, but he figured he could get away with breaking corporate protocols for this particular project. Tim’s 7 step plan to get Bruce to adopt Jason, he wrote with a flourish. *** Or, eight-year-old Tim hatches a plot to convince his neighbor to adopt the street kid he brought home with him and gets more than he bargained for in the process.
