you know what? I hadn’t thought about it in a while, but I am actually still very upset that we never got to see John Boyega give an impassioned speech to an army of hostile stormtroopers, and partway through the speech just one trooper lays her blaster down and takes her helmet off, and by the end Finn has won them over and they all take their helmets off as the music swells, which signifies their change of allegiance and also reminds us the audience that underneath all those indistinguishable white helmets are people with faces and personalities and hopes and dreams and connections to the Force, people who will be led by one of their own as they rise up in rebellion against the fascist empire that treated them like interchangeable cannon fodder.

we should have had that in a movie! and we didn’t! and I’m still mad about it!

started thinking about the john williams musical crescendo that would play over a long pan across ranks of troopers as they throw their helmets down and turn their bare faces up towards the light, full of joy and determination, and now I’m mad AGAIN

Have Finn’s speech be broadcast across the galaxy, and we see stormtroopers everywhere throwing down their arms and armor, abandoning their officers in a reversal of the Order 66 montage from RotS.

The sequel trilogy should have been about Finn, and I stand by that opinion.

Some of My Favorite Batfam Fic Tropes

In no particular order:

 - The batfam have their own language of chirps, trills, tweets, and whistles, and they use it in front of other ppl (civilians, the jla, whatever) and the other ppl go “what the actual fuck”

 - Bruce throwing the batarang at Jason Todd’s neck actually Does Damage™, and eventually the other members of the family find out and lose their shit

 - “Hey Tim?” “Yeah?” “Where’s your fucking spleen :)” “Lost it.” “LOST IT??

 - Damian calling his brothers Akhi :)

 - “How many kids do you HAVE??” -The entire Justice League

 - Jason going to Titans Tower, seeing Tim, saying “is anyone gonna parent that” and then not waiting for an answer.

 - Literal Toddler Tim Drake informing the Batfamily that yes he knows everyone’s identity, and really if you didn’t want people to figure it out you should stop showing off your extremely niche skills during patrols Nightwing.

 - “Dude your son is a crime boss.” “Ex-crime boss :/”

 - A Batfamily member hearing someone talk about their civilian identity (bc, yknow,, they’re famous) and just having to Deal With It because what the fuck else are they supposed to do??

 - The Justice League hearing about Batman and assuming he (& his family) are demons or vampires or some other cryptid, and then meeting him and finding out he’s just Some Guy.

 - The batfamily learning the origin of the name Robin

- The Justice League meeting the Batfamily and specifically learning who Red Hood is, and one of the heroes nervously asks “Didn’t the second Robin.. die?” and Jason just goes “yeah lol”

Got any recommendations for fic with these tropes?

I am SO GLAD YOU ASKED. I apologize for not getting every single trope in this list, and also having only one for a couple, I threw this list together semi-quickly :)

Quadruple Somersault: Baby Birds and Bat Caves

Don’t get attached to unpopular ships because you will run out of fic and die

Alternatively: create the content and become adored by like 3 people forever

Or a secret third thing: passionately create content for your unhinged pool noodle of a ship until those three people can’t help but also create something and then live forever on your happy raft of cringey little friends.

So I love the fics of the Batfam finding out Jason is alive and has been alive for a while through the mosy random circumstances, but what if he got got back to Gotham a bit saner and decided to just... see how long it took his family to notice him?

Like food goes missing from the kitchen and Alfred can't figure it out for the life of him until he catches Jason raiding the fridge at two am.

Tim sees Jason sneaking around the manor and just assumes he's hallucinating again.

Bruce notices things around the cave have been moved or are missing and scolds Dick and Tim, who keep denying it was them.

Stealing the batmobile's tires would be the opposite of subtle. So would be altering the display case in any way, including adjusting the nameplate to say 'Good Folder', 'God Soldier',, or gaslighting the inhabitants to think that it was always misspelled as 'Good Solder'.

It also wouldn't be subtle to subscribe Bruce to all of the tabloids and magazines that feature his... Exploits, nor would scheduling in media appointments.

Using a voice changer to leave suggestive voice mails implying Jack and/or Janet Drake still...linger on that summer memory long ago (fifteen years, perhaps? How old is Tim?) Would not be discrete in the slightest.

Neither would be living in his own room, using his own shower (while grabbing Bruce's products), eating at the dining room table, etc.

just saying, just about not as subtle as eight heads in a duffle bag.

Free piece of advice for the young people: there’s a particular type of embittered adult who will tell you that adulthood is a boring, tedious slog. They like to talk about the drudgery of middle class existence, and are for some reason particularly fixated on repetitive suburban aesthetics. These people are not your friends. Being in your 30s is better than being in your 20s, and literally everything is better than being a teenager. Don’t let boring people make you dread growing up.

this weekend at my job this trio of kids were coming up to me throughout the day begging me to look at a rusty spoon they had found in the creek by the dining hall because it was rusty and had some detailing and they were convinced it's an antique and i should put it in our nature museum. and every time i was either busy or they didnt have the spoon so i never saw it. but like. it's a spoon someone threw into the creek from the dining hall. finally at dinner im eating my pasta and having a bit of a break when the little trio comes up to me with the spoon and it sure is a tarnished rusty spoon. and im like "yeah ill look it over and ill let you know later!!" already thinking of ways to nicely tell them this is regular silverware from 2003. but then i look at the back and google the branding on the back and. those kids legit found a silver spoon from 1922. guess i gotta put it in the museum

OP is Gunther Stardewvalley

all pairings were submitted! oh god oh fuck. here's some submission notes

Korrasami:

Canon girlfriends/wives

Narumitsu:

Becoming a lawyer for the sole purpose of saving him from himself even though you only knew him for like a few months in elementary school. Unnecessary feelings. Grieving so hard when you think he’s dead that nobody can even say his name around you. Flying halfway across the world the second you find out he’s hurt. Matching wedding rings.

@bisexuallsokka @bi4bibracket the girls need our help!

When I think about American attitudes to parenting there's something that always comes to mind, but I don't know whether it's a real thing. All my life in American films and TV I've heard child characters addressing their dads as "sir" or being told off for not doing so.

Is that really a commonplace thing in American families, or is it just a shorthand way of showing that the character is a shitty dad?

There's still time to increase the sample size!

The Titans have their kids back!!!

Wally has all three of his kids, Iris, Jai and Wade, safe and sound!

Roy was finally reunited with Lian and her amnesia is gone!!

And Wally found Donna's son Robbie and Garth's son Cerdian alive and well (if you count being raised by Granny Goodness 'well') and he brought them back to Earth!!

All of the missing, erased and dead children of the Titans are back!!!! This is insane!!!
