Still thinking about that scene after the Richas no-armor near death scare, with q!Bad taking him & q!Felps to the church cemetery
How it started with Bad explaining that the other day, him and Dapper came to the cemetery to sing happy birthday for the eggs who passed on. Then him just bluntly telling Richas:
“Do you want us to celebrate your birthday here one day?
Like… that hit hard. for q!Bad this statement carries a lot of personal weight- he was there for each egg death, and felt each harder than the last. seeing a death message in chat genuinely scares him to the point he’s developed these crazy trauma reflexes to go save them. every single month on the eggs’ birthday he visits the graves to leave presents and sing, tells them about the happenings on the island, how their parents are doing, how much everyone misses them. that he’s still doing the best he can to protect their siblings.
Seeing Richas endanger himself with that risky behavior is rightfully upsetting.
But he still explained to Richas that he’s not trying to scare him by bringing him to this place and saying all this about life and death, he’s trying to educate & show that there’s so many people on the island who care about Richas and would be upset if something happened to him. especially if it was some silly death that could’ve been easily prevented if he just protected himself better with armor. he hopes that Richas could understand that, even just a little.
And before leaving, Bad made sure to take a moment to speak directly with the graves:
“See, guys? Don’t worry. I’ll do everything I can to keep your sibling safe, okay? ….Even if it’s from himself.”
gut punch. this whole scene hurt. but we all really love this little egg sooo much <3

duke thomas and tim drake being close includes:
- some of the craziest your mama jokes gotham has ever heard
- their brothers genuinely losing their minds (duke keeps taking away their eyesight for seconds at a time so tim can shift everything around and gaslight them into thinking nothing happened)
- gotham is so quiet when they patrol together… too quiet (tim is an enabler to duke’s schemes. rogues are genuinely suffering)
- TIM BEING DUKES ROBIN. DUKE LOOKING UP TO TIM AND NOT SAYING ANYTHING. TIM KNOWING AND TAKING CARE OF DUKE.
- way too big house parties tbh they both have tons of friends and they keep having them all over at the same time so there will be 30 or so people over the manor every other week. it’s genuinely more chaotic and stressful than galas.
bonus angst insert here: tim was mad at dick for giving robin away to damian because tim meant to give robin away to duke. duke never even wanted to be robin (for reasons i can explain) he just wanted his brother, but tims ready to go on his gap year in hell, leaving duke behind in gotham, kind of like how tims parents used to leave tim.

Every time someone calls Falin not a full-fledged character, or just a plot device, or whatever, I honestly get so annoyed. If you can make up a whole personality and backstory for some random man in any other story, let me be obsessed with a woman the the entire narrative is literally centered around!! She is so interesting and I love her shut up shut up shut up

This kills me that they think queer Palestinians don't already exist. Just because you don't hear about them doesn't mean they aren't here. They just have to hide.
Laws won't make us disappear. They will just force us to hide more. It's a dangerous way of thinking to believe that making our identities illegal will make us disappear. Because what stops them from making us illegal in the rest of the world then? They're already trying to erase us, if they now start to think they can make us cease to exist just with a bunch of laws, you can be sure that they will try as hard as they can.
Queers existed before straight bigots gave us the authorisation to exist. We didn't pop up when you made us legal. We fought for our rights. We rioted. We said "We're here, we're queer, get used to it" long before you graced us with the right to walk by your sides. We were here before. We'll be here forever. No matter what you do, no matter the laws. We've always existed and we'll always exist.
We're here. And we're queer.
