Tim : Can I bother you for a second? Damian: You're always bothering me, but go ahead.

Taking the opportunity this Valentine's Day to say that I think both Daryl and Carol are romantics. Their environments before the apocalypse may not have fostered it, but their ability to express strong desires for and feelings of romantic love comes across very clearly in their relationship with each other.

Daryl often gives Carol gifts— a Cherokee rose in a beer bottle, a similar-looking flower on her dinner plate, a bracelet he wove himself, and presumably that ring with the turquoise stone. Flowers and jewelry are classic symbols of romance, so there's that of course, but much like his character, Daryl's gifts are nuanced. There's always a deeply personal meaning behind each one whether it's to symbolize hope for getting through shared tragedies or running away to New Mexico. He lets them speak the words he can't, or at least not as eloquently. He wants to make her happy. Making her feel happy, safe, and loved makes him happy.

The shot of Carol reading a romance novel titled Denim Dreams in S7 of the flagship show could amount to nothing more than a stereotype given to a former housewife if we let it, but like the tabloids she admits to reading later on at the Commonwealth, the book actually functions as Carol's glimpse into a life she believes she can only admire from afar, but not seek for herself because she doesn't deserve it, not even when her very own "denim dream" comes knocking on her door. But she shows Daryl her romantic side in the things she does for him like bring him food, cut his hair, and adjust his poncho and yes, that all sounds stereotypical. Carol isn't a housewife anymore. She's transformed into a strong survivor who will eliminate any threat to the people she cares about by any means necessary and that's why we root for her. Taking care of the man she loves doesn’t make her weak. Sometimes it means feeding him and sometimes it means traveling across the Atlantic ocean to bring him home. She puts his wellbeing before her own.

Daryl and Carol are soulmates and life partners. They're each other's "forever" valentine. I want that to be explicitly clear in The Book of Carol. They've earned their romance.

The Caryl ship after NYCC

I am what happens if you put Jade West and Cat Valentine in a bowl and mix thoroughly.

okay i know that everyone has tim get hit with deaging powers in fics or headcanons, but i would like to see one where a tiny ittybitty damian pops up from his discarded robin costume on the floor and the family has to deal with a baby demon child.

tim in his red robin suit holding up a one year old damian wrapped in his robin cape: uh, i don’t really like babies very much, we need to get you to agent a

damian imprinting on the first vaguely parental shaped figure he sees:…ummi?

tim getting that mama bear sense of ‘lifting a car for your baby’ maternal love: i will kill everyone and then myself if you were to ever get hurt habibi

and i think it’ll just be hilarious to see damian’s interactions with everyone else because they’ve never had to deal with him so vulnerable and vaguely friend shaped.

dick on the verge of tears: he screamed when he saw me and ran to tim, to tim, then tim glared at me and told me to never touch his baby again - HIS BABY JASON

jason: you poor thing??

and an awkward bruce, who’s never actually dealt with babies despite being a father of (vaguely) nine kids, trying to interact with this chubby little toddler.

bruce: hello baby boy

damian throwing a knife at him giving the biggest cutest belly laugh when bruce catches it:

tim smooshing his chubby baby cheeks: isn’t he such a cutie patootie ?

Tim: I could fix Batman

Jason: No, I could fix Batman. But then I fucking died and accidentally made him worse instead

Jason: But when I come back and try to make him worse on PURPOSE, suddenly he won't do it!

Tim, deadly serious: I would've killed The Joker for you

Jason: Aw, thanks Tim

Tim:

Tim, whispering: I could fix Red Hood...

Jason: Stop it

What if I was a lonely brooding man but my features softened as I stared at you adoringly?

bruce wayne dropping in on the batboy's conversations randomly, hoping that he'll hear something intellectual or interesting, but instead gets hit with the stupidest shit he's ever heard in his life, every time.

jason: "hey dick can you tell tim that armadillos aren't real?"

dick: "...why would i tell him that???"

jason: "because he thinks they're real?"

dick: "jason."

tim: "I TOLD YOU!!!"

Dick: "Oh hang on, before we go out I just need to check something."

Jason, annoyed, leaning over his shoulder: "Are you hacking Blüdhaven PD? You know you can just go to work tomorrow and log in right?"

Dick: "Shut up for a second. I need to focus."

Jason: "Are you-- are you destroying evidence related to Nightwing??"

Dick, ignoring him resolutely as he finishes up.

Jason, cackling: "Oh my God, wait 'till Batman finds out you're a corrupt cop."

End of the world, might as well start serving cunt about it
