LITTLE THINGS I LIKE TO BELIEVE ABOUT THE TEEN TITANS (‘03 show & comics based)

- Robin pays for damages caused by fights and villains with money from Batman and the team set aside two days a month to go help out cleaning the city and doing community service. It just always pisses me off when superheroes think work like that is too lowly for them bc they’re always fighting villains (and causing lots of collateral damage in the process)BUT PEOPLE DONT HAVE TO FIGHT TO BE HEROES 🤬🤬🤬

- Beast Boy has an overbite

- Doom patrol never really prioritized his education, at least not mento, so BB really only got a 3rd grade education before switching over to full time training

- Batman owns so many industries so why wouldn’t he own some sort of school district or academic program? I’m thinking he owns some online schooling services and Robin convinced him to let the Titans do self paced online courses to at least get their high school diploma

- ^^^ HOWEVER, there’s an initial placement test you have to take to determine your starting grade level. Cyborg is pretty much on track, a little advanced actually, and just needs to finish 12th grade before applying for some online college courses. (Major: Physiology, Engineering, or computer science). Starfire is a little behind but Tamaranian education is remarkably similar to Earth so she’s only behind by about a grade and a half. Raven is a similar case though she proves herself to be extremely smart and eventually works herself to her appropriate grade, and then beyond :D yayyy raven!!! Robin already got his high school diploma. Beast Boy, however, is wayyy behind :( he placed at 5th grade but struggled so much initially that he had to be moved to 4th grade instead. School is a huge struggle for him and he honestly hates how dumb he feels in the virtual classroom. Angst potential!!! But Robin helps him when he can and tries to build his confidence

- Ok so I think Mento & Rita were married, had a divorce due to a falling out but remained a team, then remarried sometime after the events of Homecoming. Just imagine all the titans getting dressed up and dapper for the wedding!!! Beast boy is the ring bearer!!! They all oversleep and end up losing their damn minds trying to get ready in time!!! Raven and starfire have to do each other’s makeup!! Beast boy gets ready the fastest and is assigned to make everyone breakfast but it all gets burnt so they get McDonald’s on the way and its hilarious!!!

- Remember how BB begged to do Boy Scouts but ended up having mento pick him up in the middle of the night from camp???? I wonder whyyyyy hmmmm (intense discrimination and bullying) hmmmm

Thank you so much for sending this, and sorry it took me such a long time to get to it 😭

Choosing was super hard because there are so many insanely good quotes in the books and I love several of them for very different reasons, but I'll try and give it a go anyways. So: five of my favorite Six of Crows quotes (because I still haven't read the SaB trilogy), in no particular order:

Kaz and Inej, on getting back up after a fall:

Get it together, Brekker, he scolded himself harshly. It didn’t help. He was going to faint again, and this would all be over. Inej had once offered to teach him how to fall. “The trick is not getting knocked down,” he’d told her with a laugh. “No, Kaz,” she’d said, “the trick is in getting back up.” More Suli platitudes, but somehow even the memory of her voice helped. He was better than this. He had to be. Not just for Jordie, but for his crew. He’d brought these people here. He’d brought Inej here. It was his job to bring them out again. The trick is in getting back up. He kept her voice in his head, repeating those words, again and again, as he stripped off his boots, his clothes, and finally his gloves. -Ch. 22, Six of Crows

Matthias asking for mercy for monsters/the "we are all someone's monster" observation:

“Nina,” he said, hand still pressed over the smooth skin on his chest where a bullet wound should be. “Nina, please.” “You know they would not offer you mercy, Matthias.” “I know. I know. But let them live in shame instead.” She hesitated. “Nina, you taught me to be something better. They could be taught, too.” Nina shifted her gaze to his. Her eyes were ferocious, the deep green of forests; the pupils, dark wells. The air around her seemed to shimmer with power, as if she was alight with some secret flame. “They fear you as I once feared you,” he said. “As you once feared me. We are all someone’s monster, Nina.” -Ch. 41, Six of Crows

Wylan and Kaz's entire conversation about disability and vulnerability while cracking Van Eck's safe:

He thumbed quickly through the ledger and said, “When people see a cripple walking down the street, leaning on his cane, what do they feel?” Wylan looked away. People always did when Kaz talked about his limp, as if he didn’t know what he was or how the world saw him. “They feel pity. Now, what do they think when they see me coming?” Wylan’s mouth quirked up at the corner. “They think they’d better cross the street.” Kaz tossed the ledger back in the safe. “You’re not weak because you can’t read. You’re weak because you’re afraid of people seeing your weakness. You’re letting shame decide who you are. Help me with the painting.” They lifted the portrait back into place over the gaping hole in the safe. Martin Van Eck glared down at them. “Think on it, Wylan,” Kaz said as he straightened the frame. “It’s shame that lines my pockets, shame that keeps the Barrel teeming with fools ready to put on a mask just so they can have what they want with no one the wiser for it. We can endure all kinds of pain. It’s shame that eats men whole.” -Ch. 18, Crooked Kingdom

Inej vs. Dunyasha on the Church of Barter rooftop, refusing to be cowed on her own turf:

“The blood you spill is the blood of kings,” seethed Dunyasha. “You are not fit for such a gift.” Inej almost felt sorry for her. Dunyasha really believed she was the Lantsov heir, and maybe she was. But wasn’t that what every girl dreamed? That she’d wake and find herself a princess? Or blessed with magical powers and a grand destiny? Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway. Inej raised a brow and slowly wiped the blood of kings on her trousers. -Ch. 35, Crooked Kingdom

And Inej at the harbor...hopeful, in love, and ready to take on the world with her boy and her ship:

Had she really thought the world didn’t change? She was a fool. The world was made of miracles, unexpected earthquakes, storms that came from nowhere and might reshape a continent. The boy beside her. The future before her. Anything was possible. -Ch. 44, Crooked Kingdom

How had ryukitann got together? 🤔

sorry this is a little rushed, but in general i think this is the gist of how they’d get together

procrastination is starting to have its consequences finally

whatever you do, don't imagine a young J Corvin waiting every day at the end of their drive, hoping today is the day the mail carrier finally brings a letter from their very best friend

our happy ending

[ID: a digital painting. The left features a grey hourglass seen in the A Sorrowful Farewell at Curtain Call card sets. The sand is filled with orange star, pink heart, and green shell jewels. The bottom edge has been broken from the inside, spilling out the sand. Footprints lead towards the edge of the drawing, where Wonderlands x Showtime is walking together towards an orange light. They are wearing the outfits seen in the Our Happy Ending trained set. Text in the middle reads "I know the ending will be a happy one", the final lyric of the song "What Sort of Ending Would You Like?" /end ID]

Quality Educational Assessments

I’m trying to flesh out some Auradon classes for my own nefarious purposes, and like, we all know that Remedial Goodness class is a joke class that’s been set up as an excuse for Fairy Godmother to lecture the VKs on morality and goodness while not actually teaching them anything.

but lmao these tests.

SELL THE CHILDREN TO THE WITCH, but NOT BEFORE YOU SCARE THEM INTO EMPTYING THEIR POCKETS FOR YOU.

Only answer to a groggy Dream? is cold, wet nose poking Wanderer's cheek and louder purring. Little heated motor, keeping Wanderer warm and safe.

Screaming, crying and throwing up about this oh my god!!!! That feeling when something is so warm and sweet it makes your chest hurt? Yeah that’s this. I couldn’t get this out of my head all day so have a little funky sketch of what I imagine in my head. Wanderer low key based off my bedhead 😅

MY HEART 😭🤧

I miss this space family on the regular!

i relate to peter parker because i’ve had six crushes this year alone

damn son save some for the rest of us!!

Makarov after Price practically steals his family and refuses to give them back: You really are the most devious bastard in New York City

Hello. Given you asked for asks, here's a query I'm most certainly not legally obligated to make: What are your opinions on Ishmael and Hong Lu? To be clear I'm speaking of them individually and not as a ship but if you'd like to talk about that I would like to listen

I like the both of them a fair bit!! I started liking Ishmael a lot more after her canto (as has been happening to me with every other character) and to be honest, I really appreciate her specially because i feel she didn't get a lot of love previously. Always saw people calling her boring and such but to me it was always kind of evident that she was just... Very closed off, and maybe too paranoid for her own good. I really like the contrast she has (but mostly had, since she's been notably making an effort to better herself, which I also love to see) with the rest of the group. To many she came off as the voice of reason, which made her reactions in Canto V feel more drastic. However I always saw some excessive paranoia and worry on her that clashed with the carelessness of many of the other sinners... I also really dig how her meeting Queequeg again was written, the hug and all, it was very heartfelt (cried really hard on the canto finale. I miss doomed sailor yuri)... I really hope we get her to have more specific interactions with other characters as well, make her personality and the changes to it shine a bit more! (Still bitter about people calling her boring)

As for Hong Lu, to be honest, I don't want to form too much of an opinion YET. Mostly because I haven't read the book and, we don't know a lot about LCBHong Lu either. Though his character is very interesting and promising in my opinion, it surprises me that he hasn't had that many interventions, but it does make sense if you think about it. Considering the whole thematic of being very sheltered, whenever Hong Lu talks it's almost always to say something family related/compare things to childhood experiences. I do relate a bit to that and Im very excited for the corresponding canto as well... I do wish I had more to say about him but I've been a bit slow on reading source books and Hongloumeng definitely won't be my fastest to finish LOL

On the ship, to be honest I have no particular thoughts! I like most ships between sinners and at most I'll just be sort of neutral about the ones I don't really engage with I think. To me.its more about the portrayal and characterization than the pairing itself + very open to shipping one character with multiple different characters both separately or at the same time too, don't care if it's romantic/platonic/secret third thing. I really like the Jade whale ship name though we should name more pairings like that I thinkm. Also it IS funny to have a paranoid, weathered sailor hanging out with this freak who didn't care to move when acid started falling from the stomach ceiling of a whale...
