What's your timeline of the hero kiddos teams? Like which one was the first to be formed to which one is the lastest currently?

Sorry for the long wait anon! Feel bad but I'll try and answer now.

Ok, concerning the timeline of kid hero teams isn't totally solid or set but here's the basic outline:

Teen Titans (Dick) is first, obv. I'm debating whether to have the team debut when Dick is 8/9 or when he's a teen.

Kid Outlaws (Jason) is second. The team debuts when Jason is 9/10 (Dick would be 16/17 btw).

Steph's team is third. The team debuts when Steph is 8 (Jason is 10, Dick is 17).

Cass's team is fourth. It starts when Cass is 10/11 (Steph is 8/9, Jason is 10 and Dick is 17/18.)

Young Justice is fifth, when Tim is 10. Cass is 13, Steph is 11, Jason is 12/13 and Dick is 19/20. Jason and Cass are Robin and Batgirl at this point. I kinda wanted YJ to debut earlier but it didn't really work with all their ages tbh.

Should I make more teams, then Duke would be next, then a few years later Damian's team appears. I'm not sure when the Birds of Prey start, but they definitely exist when Cass is Batgirl, or at least a prototype version of it. The Justice League is established before all of this starts too. Here's a doodle concerning my Outlaw team for more specific info on them:

Now I wonder who are those guys at the end there...well another time. Got some rambling under the read more, got too long.

You know when it comes to timelines for my au, I just wanna say that I play very loosey-goosey with dates, ages and all that. Not only it is it way too hard to get any sort of canon timeline from the comics, I prefer the freedom that I get from a less rigid world. So the TrWh timeline only vaguely resembles the post-crisis one as its foundation, but I mix in pre-crisis, post-flashpoint, or even other media like Young Justice. Whatever I personally find to my liking. This universe basic premise is "everyone becomes heroes(or villains) earlier so I work from that.

But if you feel that the ages of a character is off or just plain wrong let me know, I'm not good at tracking numbers and dates. I do sometimes 'scrunch' up ages to keep some characters closer to a certain age group, only by a few years tho.

It would pretty useful if I had a big over arching timeline for the entirely of this universe but that is way too much work for me lol. I don't know how comic writers (or fans) do all that, too much info to sift through. I do have a small timeline for the batfam tho! Here, if you wanna check it out:

I made this like 2 years ago I think, and honestly a couple of details got changed at this point. Notice how the timeline got split at the end there, I prefer to keep my TrWh future in the air, who know what the real future is.

A slightly older batfam, a potential stop-gap name for Cass (Myotis) before she becomes Batman. A Robin Steph with Duke and Tim, along with Dax Chill and Riko Sheridan below. Tim becoming Robin as well, with Steph being the 'main' mentor Robin. With Damian finally joining the others as a kid vigilante. And a little doodle of an older Duke, maybe dealing with a TrWh version of We Are Robin?

And here's an adult Steph and Jason with their own sidekicks years in the future, don't know their exact ages. Steph with Nell Little as Starling II, and Jason with Sasha as Scarlet? and Tyler as Blue Jay II. Don't know if Jason's a hero, anti-hero or even anti-villain, or what his adult name is.

Well, that was a lot, sorry I took so long anon, I just got swamped with Life I guess. Hope you liked all that!

Ok so I’m not done with Voltron yet, but I’m on season 6 and have heard that !SPOILERS! Allura dies, Lance and allura get together, and apparently Lance ends up on a farm at the end? On season 6 I can definitely already tell that Lance and Allura have a sorta romance forming since Lottor is dead and Lance is getting more serious about his crush on Allura. And I feel like I really don’t like the way this is going. It just feels sorta out of place and while Lance has flirted with Allura in the past, it didn’t really matter because he flirted with EVERYBODY. Also I just don’t get it? Allura has never expressed interest in Lance and it sorta feels like the writers are using her. I think Lance getting serious about his crush on Allura isn’t too bad, and I wouldn’t really have a problem with it if it weren’t for the fact that they really DO get together in the end. It just feels kinda out of place and I kinda wished that Allura let him down. I’m not gonna say anything like “Lance should have ended up with Keith!!” Because even though I do ship klance A LOT, I don’t really mind that they don’t end up together bc there has been so many queer ships that haven’t gotten together and yk that’s just the ways things go sometimes (which kinda sucks but what can you do 😭) PLUS WE HAVE FANFICTION TO FEED US LMAO Anyway, what I’m trying to say is, I don’t care that Lance didn’t end up with Keith, I just wish he didn’t end up with Allura. LIKE DUDE. I honestly wish Voltron just didn’t have romance 😭 I personally just never saw Allura expressing ANY romantic interest in Lance and it’s kinda sad to know that they get together in the end, only for her to die. ALSO APPARENTLY HE GOT ALTEAN MARKINGS ON HIS FACE AFTER SHE DIED LIKE THATS SO SAD HES ALWAYS GONNA BE REMINDED OF HER like it feels like they did Lance dirty with this but idk hopefully they get better as I watch on (END NOTE: please don’t attack me for this. Again, I haven’t finished Voltron all the way but I felt like I just wanted to say something since I’m about to see this unfold in front of me. IM GONNA FINISH IT BTW!! I’ll probably make a follow up post about this once I do finish Voltron legendary defenders, so I can see how or if my opinion changed on this. TAKE THIS POST WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. READ OTHER POSTS THAT HAVE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY FINISHED THE SHOW LMAO THIS POST IS LOWKEY FOR ME TO SPILL THOUGHTS 😭 but yeah uhh ill make another post later to recalibrate my thoughts on the Allura x Lance stuff, and talk about the farm situation too because I don’t know much about it and I don’t want more spoiler lmao)

Do you have any headcanons or thoughts about Falin having a crush on Marcille pre-canon? Especially during her later years at the school/the years she was with Laios.

Just full on "awkward and slightly gnc teenage lesbian has a massive crush on the touchy-feely girly girl straight best friend" tropes everywhere. Even better bc it's the "best friend is also the popular girl while lesbian is the slightly ostracized quiet one" dynamic in school. Falin gets so so so good at not having a heart attack every time Marcille gets in her personal space. But she's so resigned to never saying anything bc why would a girl as blinding as Marcille ever like her back. She also doesn't make an effort to get over it either, she's just content to be trapped in that stable dynamic of silently being in love with Marcille while getting to enjoy CLEARLY being Marcille's favourite person. She gets so used to it that it's almost just background noise most of the time-- it would have to be, unless she wanted to be freaking out 24/7 bc Marcille is so goddamn affectionate.

Her feelings also definitely change throughout the time that they're in school together-- at first it was this "whooaaah pretty older girl" puppy crush that you can clearly see developing in the flashbacks we get (I think she doesn't even like... realize her fixation on Marcille is romantic at all until years after it starts, when she's 12-14 ish and all the other girls around her are talking about crushes). But then they get closer, over the years Marcille starts getting really attached and letting down her guard, and Falin gets to see the ridiculous side of her. She gets to calm her down from her tantrums when experiments don't work out, or help her clean up when something explodes in her face. I feel like the progression of her feelings from "schoolgirl infatuation" to "unrequited love" probably almost exactly corresponds to how slowly Marcille goes from trying to keep Falin at a polite but friendly distance (like she does with everyone else) to her facade completely eroding as she becomes her cheerful and ridiculous self again for the first time since her father died.

That's probably the saddest part: Falin knows that she's clearly Marcille's favourite person on the surface level, but she doesn't quite fully grasp the enormity of what that means to Marcille. She doesn't get that she's the person who made the world colorful again for Marcille, that she is the first person outside of Marcille's family to really and truly make her laugh. She just thinks she's the beloved but dinky little short-lived sidekick, one of many that Marcille has had and will have.

Part of it is that, despite Marcille becoming such a clingy and affectionate best friend, I think her initial demeanour already did its damage. You see Falin being super adventurous and weird at first, bringing Marcille berries and other stuff, only to be rebuffed by Marcille exasperatedly saying she's working or looking kind of put off by it. And by the time you see her a little older, shes already quieter and better at masking -- and I'm not saying that that's entirely Marcille's fault (being the weird girl at an all girls academy for almost the entirety of her teenhood must have been brutal, my god) but she definitely learned that she's a potential nuisance to Marcille if she doesn't tone herself down. She learned that Marcille most likely sees her as a weird little kid following her around bc she has no other friends. And for the most part, she was never given any reason to unlearn any of that.

And that all very very smoothly transitions into Marcille being her "first love that was never meant to be anyway" when she leaves the academy. Chapter closed in her mind: she loved and pined from a distance and that was that. Every now and then she'll see another woman with Marcille's build or her shade of hair and be like ":( I miss her..." But then just kinda move on with her day. Same with when she's going through her own spellbook and finds a note that Marcille left her/correction that she made-- she'll smile fondly and reminisce about how much Marcille doted on her, and then move on.

Sometimes she thinks about contacting Marcille but convinces herself that it's too late (she spent too many months focusing on getting Laios healthy again and didn't mean to go no contact, but ah well). It's only when she has a practical reason to be reaching out that would also benefit Marcille ("Marcille is studying dungeons and we need a trustworthy mage to go with us to the dungeons") that she feels like she's allowed/that it wouldn't just be 100% a nuisance.

I almost think she didn't expect Marcille to reply at all, only to get a telegraph (or some in-universe equivalent of express mail, maybe magical pigeon carrier) that's like. EN ROUTE TO ISLAND. LETTER TO FOLLOW. and she freaks out like AAAA LAIOS SHE SAID YES WE HAVE TO CLEAN UP NOW.

I do think getting a response accidentally sparks a little hope in her, judging by the way she acts in the chp 57 flashback-- she's pouty that Marcille sees her as a kid, gets really worked up about being presentable, and then tries to play it cool when she actually meets Marcille (as if she didn't freak out and force Laios to shave while rambling a mile a minute about Marcille). She's an adult now, really and truly, and she's seen and survived things that her 18 yr old self would have never even imagined-- then all of a sudden, the person she was in love with since she was ten years old appears, and she's so desperate to be seen as mature and competent. She's trying soooo hard to impress Marcille with her newfound combat and dungeoneering experience...

Only to fall right back into their old dynamic. RIP. At least she gets the girl eventually, even if it takes dying twice and being the core catalyst behind an almost-apocalypse.

just read the new mutants issue where Charles chose to stay behind in space and my god the juxtaposition between Charles trusting Erik and Erik joining the hellfire club and wondering at his own trust worthiness. I wonder how much of Charles decision was him ultimately trying to avoid the fact that his first class had seemingly betrayed mutant kind and not be willing to face them and how much of it was Dani and Illyana's reaction to him having Karma mind control Illyana. the fact that Illyana was depending on him to ease her mind through limbo and in choosing to stay he forced karma to do it instead, probably fucking up their relationship in the process.

I love him, this is crazy, how much of this is him trying to runaway and how much is this him not trusting himself to fix things and how much is it just him trusting Erik?

i keep trying to put into words my exact thoughts about the sitch but there really is a lot for one issue aintit... oh charles you and your brain...

....idk in a fandom this gigantic how are people already coalescing onto a handful of popular headcanons and scenarios that just become the baseline now, when the source material gives us literally limitless possibilities to work with

after drawing cold, i started thinking about how much they resemble eyeless jack, but the canonical version.

knowing that tiktok will be back under trump, esp after seeing that stupid little message on the shutdown page, is so exhausting. the braindead ppl on that app will literally eat it up so much, this is going to be such an exhausting era of misinformation even MORE than it's been and you can see it coming from a mile away

Some angst thoughts with you/Yuu after Jamil's overblot (with an extra dash of snake phobia because, uhh, personal experience):

Jamil thinks he knows why you avoid meeting his eyes - he doesn't realize you're still working on getting used to his presence in general, trying to keep at bay those memories of his overblot that seem so deeply ingrained in your mind.

In the right situation, just hearing Jamil's voice seems to take you back.

Seeing him from the corner of your eye isn't much better: those braids really look an awful lot like something long and slithery when your mind's primed for it, your mind anticipating the hissing snakes darting towards your face again.

You find it difficult to sleep with your bedroom door closed - it makes you feel too confined, with no way out.

Not that the new nightmares help your sleeping situation much, either.

Kalim keeps on inviting you over to the dorm for yet another get together. You know it would do you good to go, eventually, but you're not sure you're ready yet. So you come up with another excuse.

Went to the beach, took a cold swim, dried in the sun while reading Crime and Punishment and drinking iced coffee. Walked back home. Ordered a copy of Eroticism by Georges Bataille. Checked my bank account and realised I have enough money to spoil myself with a new perfume. Made plans with friends. Felt better.

gin, we need your critical opinion about megalopolis. was it really that bad?

i mean.

is it unwatchable? no. but also it is not good for sure. would love for it to be a case of "so bad it circles back being somehow good", but unfortunately no, becasue in order to achieve such a thing coppola should have gone camp and embraced the style instead of taking himself too seriously.

there are. ideas. that considered by themselves sort of make sense if you are desperate to find sense in this insanity of a movie, but whether within or without context for the large part they remain disjointed. and are anyway very cringe at core. i don't know how to put it kindly but the script just sucks. and choices were made.
