I feel like the manor was built ontop of Alfred’s territory and he made an agreement with the Wayne’s that he would let them keep the manor there and even take care of it and put it under his protection and make it a part of his territory in exchange for money.
And then he grew fond of the humans and has a similar relationship with them as most fae have with shiny things. He absolutely loves them and he’s always the first one who realizes that Bruce has adopted another child.
(Sorry if my English isn’t very good/hard to read, English is my third language and I don’t really know how commas work lol)
Wally: How old is Alfred?
Dick: Whoa, you can’t just ask things like that, man.
Wally: Oh, sorry. I just, he seems kinda old, you know?
Dick: I’m pretty sure he’s immortal.
Wally:
Wally: Yeah, that checks out.
Roy: Didn’t he fight in a war or something?
Dick: Yeah, I think he fought in the Battle of Hastings.
A little ways over
Bruce: So, are you going to correct them?
Alfred: You have yet to determine my age, Master Bruce, and if you think I will succumb to such measly attempts as this you are sorely mistaken.
Examples of these gifts include:
A Tshirt with a cartoony fish pattern for his birthday. (Where did Sirius get it?? Stores don’t sell these in adult sizes?? And it hasn’t been made larger with magic because the fish are the same size as they are on the kids shirts.)
One of those fish shaped hats that are supposed to look like the fish is eating your head.
(Feel free to add more if you want to)
Cass could be both a hades child and a hunter
okay let’s talk about the bats as pjo kids because i have so many thoughts
bruce - hades kid. or honestly, just hades.
dick - apollo kid. no arguments. this boy is a circus kid, probably a theatre kid, and you expect me to not think he’s an apollo kid?
jason - ik a lot of people say ares kid but i strongly believe he’s a hephaestus kid.
tim- athena kid. idk it just fits.
damian - also an athena kid, and he would hate that he and tim share that.
steph - low key, can’t decide on one for her. she gives aphrodite kid vibes, but i’m not sure.
cass - hunter of artemis or hades kid.
duke - apollo kid, i think.
babs - i can’t decide for her either, maybe athena kid.
bonus: our fav gingers
roy - ares kid. 1000%
wally - strong hermes kid vibes.
kori - aphrodite kid. i think that fits well, but my mind can be changed.
bonus bonus: who some of them kin
jason - i think he’s a percy jackson kinnie *insert percy’s i’m not a god monologue*
wally - leo valdez. like these two have such similar vibes in my head. it’s the crippling adhd.
tim - annabeth. this boy is an annabeth chase kinnie and i know it.
The king/Ray/Mo’s dad: That sound is so awful that it makes me want to kill somebody but I can’t decide if it makes me want to kill myself, someone else, or both.
The trumptus. bwaaah
*panthea explodes*
Probably, yeah.
completely hypothetically if i were to release an EP that was centered around sapphic connections and the idea of loving and losing and worshipping women with a mitski-like sound and florence + the machine-like lyrics and a late 90’s vibe would y’all listen to it? completely hypothetically of course
Op’s tags are amazing
The CIA babysitter post is perfection and I am absolutely tickled at the idea of Senator Erica getting to sit on the Intelligence Committee. Her just staring down the director of the CIA like “you know what I know you wanna try again?” while somewhere in the distance Steve whoops like it’s an NBA championship game.
Also most classified items come under review to be declassified after 25 years with some exceptions so you know Murray is out there meddling. I just love it.
I am dying at the image of Steve watching an Intelligence Committee hearing on C-SPAN just because Erica is a part of it. Like, this guy does not follow politics. Most of the news he gets is second-hand from Robin and Nancy. He didn’t even start voting until 2008.
He has no idea what the hell this hearing is even about or what side he should be on. Honestly, he finds the ways that politicians talk without saying anything confusing and boring, but he’s watching to support his girl.
Eddie is chattering away to his livestream audience on his way upstairs to see if Steve is ready to leave for their lunch date. He pauses at the top of the stairs when he hears loud clapping coming from the living room and an enthusiastic, “That’s what I’m talking about!”
He fully expects to see some kind of sports game on the tv when he walks into the room, not…a democratic representative from New York.
And Steve is hyped.
He is sitting on the edge of the coffee table, as close to the tv as he comfortably can be and his knee is bouncing up and down like it does when he’s excited. And Eddie is…confused? He’s baffled? Wondering what the hell happened to his husband.
“…Stevie?” Eddie asks and gets promptly shushed. Steve doesn’t even look over at him, just waves his hand in Eddie’s direction. “Babe, are you suddenly interested in…energy security?”
“What?” Steve asks, giving him a confused look before returning back to the screen. “Oh, shhh. This is the best part.”
“There’s a best part of a government hearing?”
“Shhh, look,” Steve says, smiling when the camera cuts away from the director of the department of energy over to Indiana Senator, Erica Sinclair. “Look at how professional she looks! And she’s like. She’s doing amazing.”
“What’s her stance?”
“I don’t know, energy department bad?” Steve shrugs like it’s not important. “She called the director guy out on inadequate internal controls, said it hasn’t gotten any better since the ‘80s. She didn’t say it but she was definitely talking about Hawkins Lab and the ‘chemical leak’ in ‘83 and like, that guy knew it too.”
Steve turned back to the tv, “How cool is that?”
Eddie pauses, takes in everything Steve just said and then ends his live-stream abruptly, “Baby…was that not a real chemical leak?”
I hope they stay together and keep helping each other for a very long time.
Why did you give the last of your food to that poorly disguised mimic? You were finally at peace with letting go, but now this odd thing won’t leave you alone and is even turning itself into various items in an attempt to aid you.
Quite surprised there’s not a lot of these AUs considering how much Steve apparently sleeps around but anywho.
Teen Dad Steve who finds out one of the girls he’d slept with pre-Nancy is pregnant and he damn well intends on helping out however he can.
Turns out; helping means taking his son (his SON) and having full custody because the mom, no matter how much she wants to be involved, can’t take care of him.
Steve’s alright for the first 6 months of little Louie Harrington’s life.
But then his parents come home and shit hits the fan.
Which— fair enough. He was only 17 and already had a whole ass son, they were gonna freak out.
But kicking him AND aforementioned son out? With no where to go? No money? Barely a job?
That’s just fucked up.
But Steve makes do, and lives out of his car for no more than a month before finally landing his hands on a cheap trailer in Forest Hills.
He and Louie move in and sure, it’s rough. But he’s got a nice paying job at the Diner and yeah maybe he has to skip some classes to get extra money but it’s fine. It pays his bills and rent and that’s all that really matters.
It’s fine.
And then the second wave of Upside Down fuckery hits, and Steve’s suddenly in the hospital with a grade 4 concussion (whatever that means) and his top priority is to make sure someone is with Louie.
Enter Claudia Henderson, Dustin’s mom.
She takes care of Louie for as long as Steve is in the hospital and then some when Steve can’t be left unsupervised in case his head worsens.
And that’s how the Party is introduced to little Louie (as they all call him).
Steve’s stunned to find out that Mike and Lucas are so good with little kids, but the two of them love stopping by the Henderson’s (and later on the trailer) to see little Louie and offer to babysit for him whenever.
The other kids take a little bit of time to warm up to Louie (and the fact that Steve’s actually a parent) but when they do Steve never ceases to have at least one of them over.
And with all the racket brings in the attention of nosy neighbors.
Steve is well accustomed to nosy neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln next door to his parents were always looking to snitch on him for something or other.
But Miss Bottomette and her grandchildren Noah and Casey were sweethearts. Steve didn’t mind having them over for dinner or going over there. Miss Bottomette was the one to teach him how to actually put his cooking skills to work.
Linda and Tom, a newly married couple down the road, were quite eccentric but that’s what made them charming. Steve found their dog, Dasher, quite the sweetheart.
And even Mr. Knowles, the grouchy old man next door to Miss Bottomette, seemed to take a liking to Steve and Louie.
It wasn’t long before the story behind the new boy in 2718 New Bird Ave was revealed: Teen Dad Kicked Out.
Then the whole town knew. And while most people were nice about it, even supportive of how he had taken a step into his child’s life, there were always those people who sneered.
Steve ignored them, loving the life he was working on making for himself and Louie in the trailer park.
The only neighbors he never seemed to meet, despite the looming presence, were the Munsons, right across the street.
Steve knew about the Munsons. Well— he knew about Eddie Munson; drug dealer who was on his second run of senior year. Steve actually shared a few classes with him.
He’d yet to meet the mysterious Wayne Munson, but that was to be expected with work schedules.
And then Steve was graduating, and his parents didn’t show up.
But that was totally fine. Cause the kids, Claudia, Joyce— even Hopper with El— were there. They held up little baby Louie while Steve walked the stage.
He’d heard rumors of Eddie Munson having to retake senior year for a third time— but he didn’t dwell on it for too long. Because sure, he missed more than his fair share of classes and scraped by with a C+ average.
But he did it.
And then summer hit, Dustin left for camp, and the mall opened up.
Steve picked up a job at Scoops Ahoy, cutting back on his hours at the Diner but still staying there because the money was needed and the tips were lovely.
And he meets Robin Buckley, and actually talks to Eddie Munson every once in a while when he stops in with his band, and lets the kids sneak into the movies because he’ll be damned if he robs them of a normal summer.
And then Dustin comes back and their reunion is short-lived because Russians are hellbent on torching non-existent information out of Steve and he’s busy getting his third concussion and then there’s a fucking flesh monster and Billy and Hopper for protecting them and—
It’s not a good night.
But then he’s rushed to the hospital and he tries to call Miss Bottomette only for the call to refuse to go through and shitfuckgoddammit.
Because what about Louie?
Miss Bottomette said she’d be alright watching Louie until Steve got home, but Steve wasn’t able to go home until someone was able to make time to take him home.
Usually, he’d lean on Hopper for this stuff, since his parents were out of the question. But—
But Hoppers dead.
So he’s stuck at the hospital for another day or two until finally, Claudia comes to pick him up.
He’s with Dustin in the backseat of the car, anxiously bouncing his leg and biting at his fingers and nails until Dustin gives in and just holds his hand. Robin’s there to, having been able to leave after the first night but coming with Claudia to pick him up. Steve’s relieved to have them both close by, even if his hands reach for Erica subconsciously.
His trailer’s empty when he gets home, and Miss Bottomette isn’t answering the door.
Steve’s on the brink of a full blown breakdown before Mr. Knowles— bless his heart— points them across the street.
The Munsons apparently have his son and have for a bit now since Miss Bottomette had a minor seizure and couldn’t be left alone with Louie. Mr. Knowles assured Steve that she and the kids were fine and staying with him for the moment.
Steve wasted no time afterwards sprinting to the Munsons and knocking on the door. Dustin and Robin are close behind him, Claudia waiting patiently in the driveway.
The door is answered by a gruff looking old man that’s taller than Dustin but slightly shorter than both Robin and Steve.
“You Harrington?”
Steve nods so fast he faintly wonders if that’s how bobble heads feels.
They’re let in in no time and the old man— the infamous Wayne Munson— calls out of Eddie.
Eddie Munson emerges a moment later with little Louie in his arms, bouncing softly on his feet to keep the baby calm.
Steve is in front of him in a second, scooping Louie gently out of his arms and into his own.
He doesn’t realize he’s crying until Dustin’s rubbing his arms and Robin his back. Claudia is talking to Wayne, explaining what had happened (or the cover story version at least) and Eddie is hanging back a few feet from the three of them.
Robin takes little Louie in her arms and shoos Steve to the couch to calm down.
“Let him meet his auntie, Steve. You take a minute to breathe now, yeah?”
Steve was led to the couch with a soft hand on his shoulder from Eddie Munson, and they sat side by side while Steve worked on easing his breathing and to stop fucking crying.
Eddie’s shushing him and after a moment (and a clearly pointed cleared throat from Robin) Eddie wraps his arms around Steve’s shaking figure.
They leave the Munsons’ trailer is promises of new babysitters and a new friendship.
And then the fuckery that’s 1986 happens.
They would definitely do this.
I was at Costco yesterday and I walked by a man chanting under his breath to himself very intensely, "I'm not a homewrecker. I'm not a homewrecker. I'M NOT A HOMEWRECKER."
It felt like too unique of an experience for me not to steddify it immediately.
Anyways, Eddie sees Steve and Robin at the grocery store and assumes they're together because they're sharing a cart and bickering over their household groceries like a married couple, but he still finds Steve so attractive.
Steve catches him staring and throws him a flirty wink and a cute little finger wiggle back.
Which causes Eddie to sprint away, verbally reminding himself that he cannot hit on taken men, much to Steve and Robin’s great amusement.
Jason: People who sleep with their phone on silent or DND really don't give a damn about anybody.
Damian: If you decide to have a problem after midnight, that's between you and God.
Tim, very tired: …How do you set your phone to Dungeons and Dragons?
I hate when people lose something and then when they finally find it they say “It’s always in the last place you look.”
Like??? Yes, of course it is?? You don’t keep looking for something after you’ve already found it, right???
I personally think he’d:
Also be a werewolf.
Be killed by Fenrir Greyback on the same night Remus became a werewolf.
Not a werewolf and died because he accidentally walked in on Remus transforming at some point when they were kids.
Both 1&3, he died during a full moon as a child either because Remus accidentally scratched and killed him or he accidentally scratched himself so hard that he died. But no one knows for sure what happened that night.
Animagus who turns into a wolf or a very small dog.
I think him being named Romulus and dying tragically, especially if Remus accidentally killed him when they were kids, would be an interesting inversion of the Roman myth of the founding of Rome because Romulus is the one who kills Remus in the myth.
I just want to know the general consensus of the hypothetical
why didn’t gandalf just carry the ring to mordor himself with these tongs
Said couple are definitely Tim’s bio parents.
*Jason, Dick, Tim and Damian peeking out the window*
Bruce: What are you doing?
Dick: TVs broke, so we’re watching a couple break up across the street.
Bruce:
Bruce: I’ll get some popcorn.
That last one was truly epic
And here’s a comprehensive list of why I think so:
1. Järnspöken literally translates to The Iron Ghost(s) which works because Bucky has a metal arm and Steve thinks he’s dead (Bucky is the iron ghost).
2. The whole song has a theme of coming back to the place you used to call home, only to find that it’s changed while you were gone.
3. Some of the lyrics literally translate to:
“I don’t remember why, but maybe that’s the reason why I remember it so clearly.
Your big eyes, your brown hands, your sharp knees.”
4. Some other lyrics translate to:
“Someone’s laying in the grass with frosted over clothes, so still and white.
And the blue lights are blinking, imagine what you could do with a small knife.
And I don’t know why but I always return to this place.
It must’ve been something we did, something we said here that changed my life.”
5. The last two lyrics translate to:
Was it you I saw, like a shadow from my dreams?
Was it you I saw, you I swore to never forget?
Was it you I saw, like a ghost out of dead dreams?
Was it you I saw, did I finally manage to forget?”
Don’t just leave this in the tags.
Also considering Jason grew up poor what if:
Jason: You know, I didn’t even know that shirts without blood stains or bullet holes existed until I was like seven, lol.
Tim, *horrified in grew up rich*: HUH?!
Jason: Hey I saw this shirt in a thrift shop and thought you'd like it.
Tim: There are bullet holes in it.
Jason: It's Gotham, just be grateful I got the bloodstains out.
I love how it took him so long to think of literally just tugging it out with his hands or some pliers
Bruce changes his tactics when pulling loose teeth with every child due to reasons
---------------
Dick *looks nervously at Bruce tying the string to the doorhandle*: Are you sure this is going to work?
Bruce *confidently*: It's how my father did it. On the count of three. One...Two
Bruce: *Slams the door, forgetting his strength*
Dick *gets thrown across the room and into the door with the tooth still attached to his gum* : My nose hurts. Bruce?
---------------
Bruce: This is going to work. Just stand there.
Jason *eyeing the car with distrust* : Why can't we use a door?
Bruce: Doesn't work. I'm going to go slowly. Okay. Wave when the tooth's out.
Jason: *gets drags for two minutes*
---------------
Bruce *visibly annoyed as he ties string to Tims teeth*: Why do you still have your baby teeth?
Tim *confused as to why they're on the roof*: Dunno. Is it a bad thing.
Bruce: Doesn't matter.
Bruce *under his breath*: This better work.
Tim: Why are you sweating.
Bruce: Focus, Tim. I'm going to dropping this rock--Don't look at me like that. It's not heavy, like 25 pounds. On the count of three. One--
Tim: But--
Bruce*dropping the rock*: Two
Tim: *Falls*
---------------
Bruce: I'm just going to tug it out, Damian.
Damian: *screams*
it must be so awkward to be one of dionysus's kids at camp halfblood like not only is ur father literally twelve feet away from you playing cards with chiron but he's a campus meme. he is forced to stay legally sober because ur grandpa is mad at him. he burns through 80 diet cokes a day. he regularly fake claims kids in order to bully them into getting him wine. he's just some insane little guy. and he's ur DAD
I just made a sound like a choked pig because it’s the middle of the night and I’m the only one awake
canonically the way athena’s kids are born in PJO is literally insane what do you mean athena takes an interest in a smart human and then a child just shows up on their doorstep like annabeth is literally the immaculate conception SHE’S JESUS?! imagine you charm a woman with your insane autistic rizz about a topic bc you’re an Intellectual and the next day you HAVE A CHILD IN A BASKET ON YOUR DOORSTEP?! also that means PJO-verse Athena DECIDES to CREATE A CHILD FROM HER THOUGHTS whose whole life is about to be suffering and may not survive. like she may be the most darksided olympian
I’m reposting this so I can find it later and figure out what the titles should be.
i will never understand why more people in their 80s don't commit felonies. you reach that age and surely there's something illegal you always wanted to do but didn't bc Consequences
dammit, GO FORTH GRANNIES!!! rob an armored car! hold up that bank! tunnel your way into fort knox! what are they gonna do, sentence you to 20 years? good fuckin luck with that
I believe the correct saying is: not the sharpest kned in the shife
Thinking about when I worked at a shitty restaurant + one night it was just me + 3 other women on closing shift, so some guy came in the back and waved a knife around, presumably for money but I’m not actually certain, bc he was met with the bartender holding a much bigger knife, a tiny teenager wielding a cast iron pan, an elderly woman holding up a crockpot of clearly boiling water, and me, turning on the meat slicer with eye contact for maximum effect. He left, but the moral of the story is not girl power or whatever, it’s just. Why the fuck would you threaten a room full of underpaid and sleep-deprived blue-collar workers surrounded by lethal weapons.
At this point it probably doesn’t even count as baking anymore.
I am in tears
This can be perfectly explained by the hc that he was also a contortionist on top of being a trapeze artist when he was in the circus.
Dick probably just considers this to be a maybe slightly exaggerated version of a jumping splits.
im rereading tom king’s mister miracle and there’s this action group shot
then i notice
I’m reposting this so I can find it again
Bartender: What would you like?
Sirius: *stares at the bartender* sex.
James: *sighs* on the beach... ummm.... Remus. He wants cocktail sex on the beach.
Sirius: yes, a cocktail, of course
Remus: *tries to hold back a smile* of course. And you?
James: cosmopolitan, please
Remus: *goes to make cocktails*.
Sirius: *whispers* but I didn't want a cocktail. Did you even see him?!!!
James: *laughs* yeah.
Remus: *serves cocktails* your cosmopolitan and your sex *stares at Sirius* on the beach.
James: *whispers* ask him for his phone number
Remus: *nods at the glass with a piece of paper with neat numbers on it*
Just a reminder that both of these things are still going on right now
taylor swift being person of the year? she has one of the biggest platforms in the world has said nothing about the genocide happening and continues to stay silent on it. we’re seeing journalists and photographers risk their lives to show us what’s taking place in gaza but sure! give it to the pop star
Do you mean @ p4perback ??
that one remus lupin tiktoker
This is absolutely fantastically and chaotically beautiful.
so many ppl on tiktok will be like ‘look at my epic style glow up omg my style used to be so cringe’ and it just shows them wearing clothes that were in fashion in 2015 and then clothes that are in fashion now like baby that’s what happens when u don’t have ur own sense of style
I call this drink a Turd Cola and despite what the name suggests it is very tasty. You will need a few ingredients for this recipe, I recommend your local grocery store (and I hope that Polly Chocolate is a thing where you live).
There’s gonna be a picture at the end.
Ingredients and supplies:
Your local grocery stores version of cheap off brand Coca Cola (because boycotting brands that support genocide is a good idea)
Fanta exotic (BUT PLEASE BUY A CHEAP OFF BRAND ALTERNATIVE IF YOU CAN BECAUSE FANTA AND COCA COLA ARE OWNED BY THE SAME PEOPLE!)
A bag of Polly’s milk chocolate, maybe even with Åhlgrens Bilar instead of the normal stuffing. (This can unfortunately only be acquired in Sweden so if you’re not in Sweden then you can just buy mini marshmallows)
Pizza (is optional but the bread crumbs floating around add to the experience. buy something from a local small pizza place and not from the really big chains if you can because most of the really big chains should be boycotted for the same reasons as most of the other things on this ingredients list)
A very large wine glass
Now that you have the ingredients what you’re gonna do is:
Pour in the (ripoff) fanta and make sure that you leave about half of the glass empty depending on how much you want of the other ingredients but really it’s up to you because you can always drink some if it gets too full.
Cola, make sure to leave some space in the top for the other ingredients
Put in a handful of the Polly chocolate/mini marshmallows and if you have pizza then you should make sure to leave just a little bit of extra space but now the drink part is complete
Dip in your pizza slice and let it soak for a bit before taking a bite.
Enjoy your pizza and your abomination of a drink!
The picture of what it should look like:
Here’s where part 1 is (I don’t know how to link it in the neat way plz help):
I’m a bit sick and am currently/have been somewhat delirious for the past few days.
(I still stand by my previous post about Bucky Barnes and disability representation and I will continue to even when I feel better)
Anyways, back to the point:
So naturally, I had the idea of putting honey on my left over pizza that I ate for dinner last night and it is so delicious that it’s crazy.
10/10 highly recommend
Here’s part 2:
