I gave myself a writing challenge and I am fascinated by it
So basically I put the robins in a randomizer to give them a new order/role (because I just...kinda wanted to see what would happen + I like role-reversal AUs) and got results that are giving me a fucking brain blast.
Stephanie, the first sidekick who defines the role
Tim, the sidekick who dies and comes back wrong
Dick, the sidekick who saves Batman from himself
Damian, the sidekick who was never supposed to be a sidekick but would go on to prove everyone wrong
Jason, the youngest sidekick who is still the Kid Wonder
...So this is fucking wild. I've got some ideas and several of these fit perfectly (Dick's role is pretty similar to his one in canon), but some of these are fucking INCREDIBLE to explore (Steph being the first Robin is something I never even considered but tbh I kinda love it).
I probably won't write a fic or anything because tbh I don't like publishing my writing that much, but I might expand this into a full AU and post about it. I might randomize other stuff too (ie, stuff that I cannot change vs stuff that I cannot keep the same) but this fucking rules as a starting point.

The more I am working on Theodosia's design and character, the more I am regretting having her dead even before the beginning of the story.
Gods, the shenanigans that I could have had with her and Dottie just being little shits together alongside Phillip and Charlie and swapping places and just having fun (to say nothing of what a huge support she would have been for Dottie in regards to Jacob), and how much of Dorothea's pesky impish attitude is coming out with her twin.
Ah, well, sometimes mistakes are made when planning, I guess.
I will just have fun with her in the Genshin!AU and have all the shenanigans of the twins there.

psst! imagine you, me, claire, and luck going on a double date to the theatrical premiere of the wizard of oz in 1939 uwu
favorite movie ??? double date to the premiere of my favorite movie ????
i like the idea that our inserts go to the movies together pretty frequently, especially after the first time they go to see one and after they become closer friends — usually at your suggestion, but it's not like my insert particularly minds; even if she's not as gripped by whatever we go to see as you are, she still enjoys the experience and has a good time and relays everything back to claire when she gets home lol.
so this time isn't any different, save for the inclusion of luck and claire — in which, i also like the thought of you saying something to the effect of "seeing if felix wants to join us" and me saying that i'll ask him as if he wouldn't give me the entire moon if i asked for it. Wife Guy of All Time. — but also the fact that my insert would've already been wanting to go see it. the original book was one of her favorites, after all — she can't not watch the movie adaptation on the day of its release.
that said, she's a little skeptical, all things considered — something something, adaptations never being quite as good as the original — but not enough that it's anything more than a brief worry in the back of her mind. she's more caught up in the company she's with to dwell on it too much.
but when we actually get to the theater — and when the movie actually starts — oh my god, she's enthralled. the scenery, the music, the colors — suddenly she feels like she's a little kid again, and all she can do is just... stare. and smile. and hug claire's arm because she'd probably be bouncing in her seat otherwise lmao.
she's definitely still humming the songs as we all leave the theater; and when you ask what her thoughts were on the movie, she launches into this whole tangent that goes on far longer than she really means for it to. later, she'll get embarrassed that she acted that way at all, but in the moment, she doesn't mind — and neither does anyone else. claire obviously doesn't — he thinks it's adorable — but i imagine that both your insert and luck find it kind of endearing, especially given how otherwise quiet and borderline stoic my insert is most of the time.
it'd be a lot of fun, i think <3

I do think icebeast is like. Not something with potential in the current era but Bobby’s nebulous age makes things so weird like the peak was those of comics where they’re always going on dates together and disappearing when the lights go out when Bobby was ~16 and Hank was ~18 but they really seem to want to make Bobby younger retroactively (and probably Hank a little older too, like compared to jean and Scott). It makes shipping them frustrating
That's a fair enough concern anon, honestly Bobby definitely has one of the strangest ages in comics, like he's not quite as bizarre as whatever Franklin and Val have going on or Kitty and Jubilee but he definitely has a weird one... like again I do think IceBeast is definitely in the text and I think writers would really benefit for admitting Bobby had a crush on him. Also, I think that while Hank is maybe not as unattainable as literal angel Warren, he still is very much so a private crush / fantasy from the best friend thing, and the fact that he's the oldest of the 5. But yeah it is kind of weird how Bobby has shifted from being a kind of childish 16 year old to being more like 14 or maybe even 13 with how fans and writers and artists talk about and depict him in those early days and recontextualises that dynamic into being more one-sided than it might have initially been.

fighting for my life trying not to send eujean....... opinions on kaeya/albedo? (also feel free to do eujean too if you want lmao)
(kaebedo is on the left, eulajean’s on the right)
i’m not particularly attached to kaebedo but i think it’s nice, it’s one of those ships that i mostly know about bc a lot of my friends like it. personally i appreciate them as individual characters more, but i think there’s a lot of potential there, especially since they both have ties to khaenri’ah and i’m sure there are tons of parallels that i haven’t even thought of (also i’m sending them to superhell just bc of kaeya’s voice line about albedo)
i’m constantly having eulajean brainworms i don’t think i need to explain that one. the reason why i don’t feel like it *needs* to be canon is bc i’m perfectly fine with interpreting it on my own <3 having a more obscure, non-canon ship can be more peaceful sometimes anyways
