the suffering never ends
Roy: Damnit, I cut my finger
Jason: Want me to kiss it better?
Roy: That works?
Jason: Yeah, my mom used to do it when I was little
*later* Roy: I need you to punch me in the mouth
Artemis Fucking finally
It pains me that only 14,000 people can honestly reblog this
i need it i need it ineeditineeditineedit-
i can be normal, i swear
By the way. absolutely no pressure or rush on Jorge or anything, this is just a thought, but he did mention before that after working on other smaller projects, he does think he might write a full-length musical for the iliad
And I'm just thinking, because I literally cannot listen to Would You Fall In Love With Me Again without tearing up
If this is the power Jorge has in writing a song about Odysseus and Penelope reuniting, about love returning-
The Bloody. *happy elizabeth noises*
Out of the 130 options in the picker wheel here (all are gender neutral),
And yes: there is a 'no epithet' option in there.
I got The Oathtaker.
So I’m catching up on Batman lore and comics.
I NEED A FANFIC WHERE SOMEONE SITS DOWN AND TELLS JASON THAT BATMAN TRIED TO KILL THE JOKER, ALMOST STARTED A WAR, AND WAS STOPPED BY SUPERMAN.
It drives me insane that the only reason Joker is not in a lead box at the bottom of Gotham Harbor is he somehow magically became the Iranian ambassador (how?!) and the UN hired Superman to stop Batman from causing WW3.
AND NO ONE TELLS JASON!
Oh! I hear you cry, But he saved Joker’s life after Dick beat him to death! Jason deserves to be angry.
OH BULLSHIT!
Dick wasn’t trying to avenging Jason! He almost kills Joker by mistake in a moment of grief and Joker egging him on! Dick literally mourns after he realizes what he’s done, claiming by killing the Joker “Joker won.”
So why would Batman save the Joker? I’ll tell you why. Batman didn’t save the Joker for Joker! Batman saved the Joker to save Dick!
Dick is acting on revenge for the near death of Tim and despite it being Killer Croc who had captured and presumably killed Tim, Dick blames the Joker and goes on a poorly thought out vengeance quest that haunts him even when it doesn’t work. He’s spiraling the minute Tim points out Joker is dead. You really think Bruce couldn’t see the writing on the wall that actually killing someone would destroy Dick and try to minimize the guilt Dick would feel by not letting the Joker die.
His second son is dead. The third was just thought to be dead. Batman isn’t going to sit back and let his oldest kill himself!
(Now you could argue all that I’m saying is fandom rationalizations of weird character choices made by multiple writers over at DC (Disregard Canon). Batman does let Dick walk away in shame after reviving Joker. But if I chose to forget that Bruce PUNCHES Dick after Dick rightfully demands to know why Bruce didn’t try to tell him his brother died before the funeral, I can damn well recontextualize a stupid panel and scrape together a consistent character profile based on the versions of Batman that I like! Fuck you!)
So yes! SOMEONE PLEASE JUST TELL JASON WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AFTER HE DIED SO HE CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION FOR ONCE!
Childhood friends to lovers au
If my mutuals can’t rb this then we can’t be mutuals
One of my favourite things to do when writing Codywan fanfics is abusing the difference between "the General" and "his General"
because Cody always calls Obi-Wan the General, not a possesive but a title. That is the General that commands him and his brother. He refers to him as the General or General Kenobi and nothing else.
Until they grow closer. Until he starts to see Obi-Wan as a friend, then it becomes Obi-Wan, mostly when they're alone and no one else is there to hear it. The General, General Kenobi, Obi-Wan. A name, a friend, no longer is it General Kenobi, the distant image of a greater than life Jedi. He is a person now, too.
And when Cody slowly begins to fall, before he has even realised what is going on it becomes his General. No longer is it the general, a distant and detached title for a man that, until recently, was nothing more but someone that had to command him. Now it's his General, not a title but a term of endearment. That is the man who has protected him, has had his back a million times. That is the man who looked at him and saw a person, the one in the million of identical faces. This is the man who brings him Caff when they're staying up late doing their paperwork despite Cody never asking for it. This is the man who learned Cody's tells, who sits with him after particularly hard battles and has seen him at his lowest. That is not just any General, this is Cody's General.
It's such a subtle difference in how Cody talks about Obi-Wan but to me it has always had such a heavy weight to it.
“Hell no, I could kill you where you stand. I’m no pet, I’m a married man.”
THIS. THIS IS WHY EPIC IS GOING PLACES. THIS WHY ODYSSEUS IS THE SINGLE MOST AMAZING PROTAGONIST EVER. THIS ONE LINE. DO YOU KNOW WHY???
Alexander Hamilton, protagonist of the hit musical of the 2010’s: How could I say no to her? My wife will never know. No one has to know.
Also Alexander: This is the only way to protect my legacy. The Reynold’s Pamphlet.
Odysseus: Hell no, I could kill you where you stand. I’m no pet, I’m a married man.
Also Odysseus: You plotted to kill my son. You planned to rape my wife. All of you are going to die.
