i was talking about this with maverick but this line in deadpool 2013 always struck me as interesting:

“fate delivered you to me” seems like an innocuous enough thing (if you ignore the bone breaking happening immediately after) but you have to remember that wade’s concept of a higher power is probably greatly warped by his awareness of a fourth wall. “fate” here is a standin for a literal written-down narrative (and, more broadly, for the writers). fate is a real existing concrete thing for comic book characters, whether they know it or not. it reminds me of this page from legion son of x where david, while not outright addressing the viewers, reprimands a hypothetical author (that he refers to as a god) and audience for condemning him to this by writing and reading on:

anyways. i like the line on its own, but when you examine it through the context of “fourth wall awareness as a substitute for religion”, it becomes way more interesting.

was playing one of those competitive combat games (random dice specifically if anyone was curious) and i was thinking about how tim would absolutely be one of those types of people who is incredibly competitive and would start very one-sided rivalries with anyone. and i think it'd also fuel him to become too fucking good at the games he plays

tim, playing some random competitive game on his phone:

random user: beats tim's ass

tim:

tim: oh it's fucking on, bubble_jester17392. *proceeds to fucking grind HARD on the game, becomes OP af, then hacks the game to make it so that they match again and beats their ass*

and i also feel like sometimes he might do some low-level stalking of some people, depending on how much of a vendetta he has against them and probably also his mood tbh. i don't think he'd really go too much further than that, because he does has morals and he is not going to become a villain over a video game and he stands by that, but knowing who information about the assholes that keep beating him at snake.io or whatever makes him feel better dammit. not that really anyone knows about the vendettas other than maybe like steph or kon

i did this in middle school when i got grounded lmaooo

if there is a screen

ao3 will be seen

Autism Speaks Canada is "concluding its operations" on January 31st 2025!

Me explaining Jason lore to a friend:

Me: So his dad goes to jail and then he takes care of his mom while she's sick and develops addiction but she dies and then he's on the streets, where he's like, starving. But then he tries to steal the wheels of the Batmobile and meets Batman!

Her: oh nice

Me: yeah, after a quick stint in a terrible group home he's taken in by Batman and becomes Robin and he's an absolute sweetheart, he has his issues sometimes but like they're so understandable and he's the cutest! And then he may or may not kill a man after finding the body of his victims who killed herself, and then he finds out his mom wasn't his bio mom so he runs away to find her, but he tells her he's robin and then she betrays him and sells him out the Joker, who brutally beats him up with a crowbar! And then there's a bomb that explodes and he tries to shield his bio mom from the blast! And she still dies! And he also dies! At fifteen years old!

Her: wait what

Me: and then he wakes up in his grave

Her : oh no

Me: and he has to dig himself out.

Her: what

Me: and then he immediately gets hit by a fucking car and is brought to the hospital where he immediately falls into a coma

Her: wtf

Me: and then he's catatonic because of brain damage

Her: ...

Me: It gets worse.

Headcanon that when Duke becomes comfortable with the family he instantly starts pulling the Black Card to win an argument.

The first time it happens is when Batman asks him to stay late in the cave to go over some reports but Duke is tired Damnit and B isn't listening to his protests so he pulls his best sad face and asks "Is it because I'm Black?" When Bruce says that Duke can't ask his siblings to cover for him. Cue the biggest panic that any of them have seen in a long time as Batman switches to Bruce and starts assuring him and telling Duke to go relax.

From there Duke has realised he's gotten a get out of jail free card that he uses carefully (Re: to get out of a gala early, to get his favourite food for dinner a couple of times.)

Using it on his siblings only works once or twice before they start on the orphan card that rarely works as they're all orphaned one way or another.

One time he used it on a villain and they almost instantly stopped beating him up to protest the accused racism.

same is true for trans men! (unless you get top surgery)

trans women r literally so cool theu get tits AND a prostate?? i thought only markilpler could do that
