civilian tim au where he ends up being close-ish friends with the waynes (being one of the few non-corrupt rich folk) but every conversation ends up with him Desperately trying not to let them know that he knows. like / socialite: oh, cass darling! how'd you break your arm? // cass: skiing. // tim, who knows Damn well poison ivy broke batgirl's arm last night bc He Was There: haha what a life you live cass anyways-

AU where Tim has known who the Batfam are the whole goddamn time and pretends all his life not to know.
And the family all love Tim and will only go to the galas and shit if he’s there because he’s Nice and Sincere and seems to always give good advice as an observant third party. And if they ever need a favor or whatever from him he’s all “No problem!” Doesn’t ask too many questions. Gives them the benefit of the doubt. Just a true friend. One time Cass said “cause a scene” and Tim didn’t even ask why, he just comically tripped and knocked over the nearest ten foot ice sculpture.
So of course the batfam all secretly want him to know the truth. Like, yeah. It’s against the rules but Tim is their friend! He deserves the truth! He’s so trusting and honest with them and it makes them feel so guilty. Like everytime someone cancels lunch plans w/ him cuz of crime, he’s always so cool and understanding?? And they all feel so bad lying over and over to poor Tim who just naively believes them
So then individually all the batfam have the idea to “accidentally” let it slip who they really are.
One time Dick got “caught” wearing his Nightwing outfit and Tim was just like “Holy shit! Nice outfit! Way better than my Halloween costume” “Halloween? Tim, it’s August.” “Right? So cool that you’re into it enough you’d plan so far ahead” “uh. Yeah. Okay. Halloween. Sure”
Damian is at a gala when he curses and walks off to the bathroom, dragging Tim along with him, telling him he needs help resowing his stitches
Damian’s shoulder has a bite mark taken out of it courtesy of killer croc. Damian tries to explain, come clean about why he has this horrible wound,
“Drake. I’m sure you must be wondering why I have-”
“Oh, no. No need to explain. I know you love animals. And if you happened to break into the Gotham zoo to try and free the alligators and accidentally got bitten? Well, I’m sure Bruce doesn’t need to know”
“…yes. that is… exactly what happened. Truly, Drake, your detective skills are adequate. Even impressive”
“Don’t go all sappy on me here, Damian”
“-tt-”

Is this how you roll?
I’ve got. All kinds of bad feelings about this. They literally put a kid on the front lines for the purpose of tanking a specific knock out weapon and I get it’s a good match up but also? He’s like 16? He’s a teenager and he’s terrified out of his mind.
You know what this reminds me of? The very first chapter when Bakugou was being attacked by the slime villain
Familiar isn’t it? We got to wait for the right quirk and let this kid fucking die in the mean time. Here they got the right quirk but it’s in a kid and he might die in the meantime.
Like I’ve been giving shit to the Villain Liberation Army about their fucked up ideals but I can’t deny it’s really just an extreme fast forward of what this society is already headed towards. And by extreme I mean kinda accelerated. This society will fucking fall apart without “the right quirks” and the heroes perpetuate it too, we’ve seen where it fails so many times now with Izuku’s quirklessness, with Shinsou, and fast forward to Kaminari here who couldn’t really say no since the entire plan hinged on a teenager absorbing the power of a fully grown, willing to kill zealot.
All this is knowing that taking too much electricity will literally fry his brain. (But that’s a gag right like All Might coughing up blood from an old injury that took out a fair amount of his organs is a gag too.)
But it’s okay because he gets his moment of badassery right? Every thing is fine as long as they look cool doing it and win (or lose making a grande finale and leave mourning in their wake cough Water Hose Duo and Koufa cough). That’s what All Might did too.
What really kills me is how through the entire chapter Kaminari keeps looking backwards at where his friends are in the “safe zone.” We get multiple panels where he’s looking around and all the heroes are charging forward and it’s so obvious that he’s scared and confused. He’s way in over his head, he’s been at hero school for less than a year and now he’s on the front lines supposed to be defending the very heroes he put his hope and trust in with his life.
Look at the composition of these two panels. Which side is the dialogue really addressing? What’s wrong with your society that a single disbeliever will bring it down? Who’s making children put their lives on the line to fight for an ideal they don’t really understand?
These are zealot words, fighting words, and smack dab in the middle is this kid who’s basically being raised in a military institution to become another soldier to die for them.
This is what being a hero means in this society.
You’re a daycare worker, watching over toddlers, when the imminent end of the world is announced. It becomes increasingly clear none of the kids’ parents are going to show up as the end inches nearer.
My viral soup post hasn’t gotten reblogged in a while and needed to be updated, and @redheadmystic asked me about it today, so here’s a brand-new master post of soups, including most of the ones that were on the list before, as well as some newer favorites. I’ve made many more soups than just this list over the past year, but these selections are my very tip-top, most enthusiastically-recommended picks.
Chef Michael Smith’s Thai Coconut (Red Curry) Soup with Chicken & Noodles
Not A Curry’s Thai Coconut (Green Curry) Shrimp Noodle Soup with Tofu
Nigella Lawson’s Cold Cure Soup (onion, orange, lime, ginger, cinnamon, chicken: your house will smell like heaven)
BA’s Chicken Khao Soi (very rich; will stick to your ribs)
BA’s Tom Ka Gai (if you can find galangal, it makes this soup)
Ellie Krieger’s Savory Carrot Cashew Soup (healthy & vegetarian)
my recipe for Pasta e Fagioli
my recipe for Creamy Spring Onion, Pea, and Zucchini Soup (easiest imaginable prep)

my adapted version of Caldo Xóchitl(-ish)
Smitten Kitchen’s 44-Clove Garlic Soup (don’t be afraid of the number; it’s surprisingly refined and understated)
Yvette Van Boven’s Daube Provençal (stew beef marinated in, then simmered with orange, olives, and a whole bottle of Côtes du Rhône)
BA’s Poached Cod with Tomato & Saffron (note: I double all the ingredients but the fish, and add olives and capers, to make this more like a stew than a poach)
America’s Test Kitchen’s brilliant Creamy Cauliflower Soup (nearly dairy free, but super creamy)
my own recipe for Vichyssoise, adapted from a 1962 recipe in Gourmet
Alison Roman’s Spicy Noodle Soup with Mushrooms & Herbs (vegan)

Julia Turshen’s Chicken Tortilla Soup with the Works (requires a huge pot and an entire afternoon. Worth it.)
Elaine Louie’s completely brilliant Miso French Onion Soup (vegan if you leave out the melted cheese at the end)
