obsessed with the truly vast and desperately lost sadness that inhabits within logan. no one will look him in the eye, no one will level with him, no one will show themselves to him, he insists and insists and demands for a shred of human connection because he is a living dead man who doesn't know he has died. and he has died because he no longer can accept the love he craves even when it is offered to him: he is a starving man but his stomach has long ago shrivelled up and been excised, he sewed his mouth shut and doesn't even remember it. he is ostracized in his own empire, he is exiled from humanity, he has turned himself into a thing that kills everything it touches and then begs to be touched. midas king coded !!!!!

okay but the sibling energy
Marc (Oldest)
-weight of the world on his shoulders, is trying to be Responsible
-mom (khonshu) makes him do all the work
-trying his best to keep everyone’s lives separate but failing because the other two won’t listen
Jake (Middle)
-everyone kind of forgets he’s there till he acts out
-“Marc is married and Steven is a vegan… I’m gonna ask Dylan out on a date to a steakhouse :D”
-chaotic energy, interrupts the other two to kill a bitch
Steven (Youngest)
-spoiled, his finding out about them being killers is completely accidental, he’s been the one living a good life set up by Marc
-Baby
-“mom said it’s MY turn with the body” “we don’t actually talk to mom” “she said it’s my turn, Marc”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie gracefully gathers everybody during a discussion with R. Emmett Tyrrell and Emily Maitlis. Watch it here.
here’s the link to donate to george floyd’s official memorial fund if you are able to contribute. if you can’t donate, please share. being black shouldn’t be a death sentence.
Dick marries Kori and becomes the king of Tamaran. He leads the efforts in terraforming Venus to become “New Tamaran.” Thus bringing together Human and Tamaranian in what many are calling a “new golden age.” However he is nowhere near as famous as his daughter, Princess Mar'i Grayson, whom the media quite absolutely adores. His story arc would focus on fighting off Anti-Tamaranian terrorists and dealing with race relations in the media.
Jason rules over an immense Yakuza-esque criminal syndicate that punishes the worst of the worst. His relationship with the others is strained but they all still love him. His story arc would center around coming to terms with himself and Bruce after rescuing Duke Thomas off the streets and taking him on as his ward.
Tim takes over the mantel of Batman alongside Cass (focusing mainly on Justice League affairs) as well as Wayne Enterprises, growing the company to twice it’s former glory. His story arc mainly revolves around him dealing with corporate espionage and struggling to fill Bruce’s Legacy on the world stage.
Cass takes over the mantel of Batman (focusing mainly on Gotham) and creates a world class charity that helps those in need around the world. Her story arc revolves around her learning to become a mentor for Helena and dealing with everything that goes on in Gotham.
Damian becomes the leader of the League of Assassins, turning those who follow him into a force for good. Not all of the league follows him though and he remains at war with them in the shadows: “The Right Hand of the Demon.” His story arc would center around him coming to terms with his identity amidst the mess that his Grandfather had created.
Helena becomes Robin under Cass and still has yet to grow to her full potential. The hungry media gobbles up any information they can get their hands on, all speculating what the next “Wayne Wonderchild” will go on to accomplish. Her arc would center around trying to step out from Cass and her father’s shadow and go out on her own to try and be her own hero eventually leading to the reformation of the Teen Titans.

Idk what the rest of the Batfam would be doing but I do know that Barbara would eventually become the President of the United States.

Is this how you roll?
”You can just call me Jake,” their teacher said the first time they met. “The title’s ridiculous and we all know it.“ ”Yes, sir,” Berenson’s new students chorused obediently (Yes, Prince Jake.) (Ax called him prince from the very beginning - it was respect, it was allegiance, but do you think maybe it was also something else? A reminder, that they follow him, he holds their lives in his choices, and he is not - can never be - one of them. He knows this by the end; Ax knows it in the beginning.)
Jake would have been very unremarkable, if he hadn’t walked through that construction site, if the Yeerk expansion had not come to Earth in his lifetime. His family is well off and he’s not much of a follower (good leaders make poor lackeys, there’s a reason that there’s an officer track), so he wouldn’t have been likely to go into the military, and he wouldn’t have thought much about public service, I think–he’s not the type to want to play detective. He might have volunteered as a firefighter, a way for him to turn his big frame and athletic experience into a real world task, but he wouldn’t have worked as one full-time.
He would have gone to college and gotten a degree, maybe in history (if he ever even realized that he loved history, without a war to prepare for), maybe in whatever seemed reasonable. Business, perhaps. He would have tried out for a few basketball teams, but probably never would have done particularly well on them. He would have graduated middle-of-the-road, not terrible, but not great, and gotten a job, and married, and maybe had children. He would have been a great father, but nothing special in the rest of his life, except.
Except.
The handful of times when something went wrong–then people would wonder how he learned his steadiness, where he got his level head, whether he had always been so confident in command.
Then the crisis would pass, and Jake Berenson would go back to his comfortable, quiet life.
He would have lived an unremarkable life, but he might have been happy.
Instead, when he tells people to call him Jake, they agree and nod and call him sir, sir, sir.
Me: 👌
Narrator: But things were not 👌
That is technically a Saturday….
But we managed to circumvent the technical difficulties and now we offer you the Mod Picks of the week :D
This is a short one, sorry guys!
Mod Aurora:
To Be Enough by graysonsflight ( @gothamsgrace) Rating: Teen and Up Audiences | Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply | Pairings: Dick Grayson/Barbara Gordon, Dick Grayson & Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson & Jason Todd| Words: 2952 | Chapters: 1/1 | Status: Complete| Summary: She and Dick didn’t talk about it often, but Barbara knew that whenever Dick and Bruce fought, Jason’s adoption was the elephant in the room. She wondered if Bruce knew it too. Commentary: I love everything this author writes - and she is especially spectacular when it comes to a Bruce who cares for his children, but doesn’t always know how. And when it comes to a Dick Grayson that only wants love.

ways i have tricked people into thinking i am competent:
bought a really nice looking fountain pen
that sounds like a joke but fountain pens are cheap as shit and when you use one people look at you like you’re a fucking wizard
this hero 901 cost me $3 on ebay and i don’t know why people assume that this is a pen for intelligent people but they do
it works better when i am using a nice notebook and not the avengers notebook that makes it look like the hulk is grabbing my sweet pen
i write in code which for some reason leads everyone to assume that i am some kind of da vinci motherfucker, instead of the reality, which is that i am writing about dicks and don’t want anyone to know
it looks like i am constantly taking notes on everything which is both intimidating and inaccurate, just the way i like it
i bought a usb clicker/laser pointer for $11 and now it seems like i’ve got this shit on lock, like i am so pro at giving presentations i even own accessories
holding a clicker makes you seem at least 10% more like you know what you’re talking about i’m pretty sure
i check the weekly freebies on creativemarket every monday so now i have a huge folder of pro-looking website themes and powerpoint templates and fill-in-the-blank resumes (also a lot of autumnal clipart and watercolor flowers and script fonts but that is less relevant)
i bought a ceramic coffee mug at world market years ago and it makes me look like a productive coffee-drinker because no one knows it’s full of hot cocoa
i don’t know why drinking coffee makes you look busy it just does even though i’m pretty sure it statistically reduces productivity
bonus: not only does no one know i’m just drinking Depression Chocolate but they think i am being Environmentally Conscious rather than Poor As Shit
extra bonus: i can take a sip whenever it looks like someone is going to ask a question and then they ask someone else
i almost never have to answer questions and i leave the room a lot because i have to pee constantly so double extra bonus
“That’s a very good question, and one that deserves an in-depth answer, so if you’d like to leave me your card I’d be happy to discuss it with you later one-on-one” aka “how DARE you suggest i waste everyone’s time answering this question right now” aka “lmfao i have no fucking clue what you just said please let me secretly google that okay”
bonus: now it seems like you are a sophisticated grownup who assumes everyone has A Card and if they have to settle for writing their email on a scrap of paper you can feel smug about it even though in your heart you know that you are no better
i’ve got anxiety and poor impulse control and anxiety about my poor impulse control so i generally say jack shit about shit and this constant silence is often misinterpreted as aloof observation
no one knows that my air of mystery is actually a bad case of the shy and i am too shy to correct them so it works out
when i’m on my laptop and i don’t want anyone to notice how much i’m dicking around i turn the brightness way down so they can’t snoop without being obvious
at least one window of notepad++ with some random html page or css stylesheet in it makes randos assume you are some kind of genius doing some genius shit, unless they are CS major randos, in which case i guess find an intimidating looking excel spreadsheet and hope for the best
