The Batkids: *all sitting on the floor huddled around a phone*
Bruce, walking up: What are you guys doing?
Tim: We're playing a new game. Its like truth or dare, except it is only dare, and all the dares are decided by a random word generator set for verbs, if we need more context we can randomly generate a noun too. Here, Steph is next, watch.
Steph: *clicks the generate a word button* 'appreciate'? *Clicks for a noun* 'Scene'? Am I supposed to go to a play? Look at the top of a mountain?
Damian: you have to get to the top of the hill, adequately appreciate the scene, and get back before your next turn, otherwise you are out
Steph: *gets up and runs out of the house*
Jason: My turn *presses the randomly generate a word button* Request *presses to randomly select a noun* cookies. Fuck yes! Alfred!
Cass, soaking wet, signing: not fair
Bruce: hey, I saw Dick's car out front, where is he?
Duke: he got 'vanish'
Tim: Still better than that time Jason got 'die'
Damian: me next, 'read'
Jason, walking in with a plate full of cookies: you gotta read and finish Pride and Prejudice before your next turn.
Damian: That's impossible! Without Dick that is only 5 people before me.
Tim: Impossible if you sit here complaining. Better hop to it.
Damian: *running to the library*
Duke, stealing a cookie: you wanna try, Bruce?
Bruce: maybe just once *clicks the button* 'grin'
Tim: Batman has to smile for an entire day fighting bad guys and dealing with the Justice League
I also like the idea of Bakugo coming home from a long, overseas mission only for you to be surprised when you meet him at the airport cuz he’s twice as beefy and four times more scary looking.
random ghosts opinion: thomas having one-sided beef with byron was much funnier than him relentlessly pursuing alison and they should've leaned into that more as a running gag for his character
I was thinking about the Chosen One, as I'm always doing, and... I realized something really disheartening.
Chosen has never won a fight while fighting for the right side.
His first fight with Alan? Right before he can teach him the lesson he deserved, he's captured and enslaved by Avast! for years. His second fight with Alan? He comes out on top this time, but it was that victory and the subsequent rampages that made the Dark Lord, his only ally, go off the deep end.
His grudge match with Dark? He's holding the advantage most of the fight, but is immediately overwhelmed when Dark puts on the wristbands. Even when he goes full bash brothers mode with Alan, the high point of their character arcs where they mutually forgive each other and work together as an incredible team, they lose to the ViraBot army. To add insult to injury, that practically nullifies his earlier win against the singular ViraBot.
The Mercs? We don't even see the fight that preceded it - we begin in media res with Chosen full-bore fleeing. His fight with Victim in the Box? What fight? That was a torture session where Victim was holding all the cards from the very beginning.
It just really has to sting. Imagine being THE strongest person in your universe 99% of the time, and one day, you look back and realize that every single time you were fighting for the right cause, you completely and utterly lost. Your only victories came when you were still a villain. You are a being created for and defined by your world-shaking strength, and you are always being overtaken by villains who are careful strategists, making concerted efforts to never give you a chance to breathe until you're worn down and defeated.
It gets hard to feel like you're living up to the name "The Chosen One".
Thinking about Pro-Hero Dynamight falling in love with a lawyer because he has to keep going into court to give witness statements.
It’s about the only thing he can tolerate when he has to take time out of his day, time that could be spent doing literally anything else other than giving evidence. Whenever he sees that you’re assigned to a case it’s as though his entire demeanour changes, instead of paying attention to the judge or the sentencing his focus is now on you across the room. Paying a little more attention whenever you start speaking to give your opening statements.
And when it’s his turn to approach the stand, he’s always a little combatative because he cherishes the way you scrunch your nose irritation whenever he tells you to repeat yourself, because you know from experience that he heard every fucking word.
You make it your mission to give everyone that can’t afford legal aid a chance at a fair trial, so you don’t discriminate who you counsel— something that irks Bakugou to no end when he finds out you’ve chosen to defend a scummy villain that he caught red-handed. Storming into your office after hours one evening— still in full hero costume and seething because he doesn’t want you to do it.
There’s something so important about Gillion - who never heals himself, who rushes into danger, who hides his wounds- facing death and realizing he isn’t unafraid as he was raised to be. He uses his magic on himself to help with the exhaustion, to keep his life intact. And still he tries to comfort Jay and Chip while he’s coherent, being realistic about his chances but refusing to make it painful. Wanting their possible last moments to be light, to be about seemingly inconsequential things, small favorites that still mean the world to him purely because they’re Chip and Jay’s favorites. And then when all is said and done, he makes a raccoon for Jay. He talks about raspberries for Chip. He uses his last saved up arcane energy to try desperately to stay awake, and it works, and it saves him in the final hour.
It’s just. There’s something about how he hasn’t had a chance to rest since the Feywild, really, truly rest. How this whole time he’s been down on himself and taking extreme risks. And now, at what might be the end of it all, he realizes he doesn’t want to die. He wants to live. And not to be able to save others, not to fulfill his destiny, not out of obligation to anyone else - but purely for himself. For all the little things. And though it’s not quite healing in the literal term, his nearly final act was spent trying to save himself - and it worked.
Headcanon that Killer sometimes tries to do puppy dog eyes when he wants something, forgetting that he doesn't have eyelights so he's just staring with big empty voids
Danny is forced to a gala. A Wayne gala to be specific. Wouldn’t you know vlad won’t let him out of his sight. Cuts him off.
Keeps calling him his son. Overall creepy vibes.
Maybe the investigation wouldn’t have been so intense if he hadn’t be calling Danny his son. A little digging leads to Amity.
Leads to a rigged election.
Leads to the Giw being discovered.
Danny for his part is laughing at vlad. Man got caught the the justice league for his alter ego Plasmius. Then for helping fund the Giw. And for establishing in town restrictions about ecto entites.
Danny just wishes they would stop trying to question phantom.
I feel like we need to know the beef why doesn't he like Harper or is that spoiler territory
