No wait, random worldbuilding idea:

A people who have an age-old tradition, that when warriors left home to go to war, their family that remains home prepare funeral goods for them while they wait, sewing them the clothes and preparing the tools and all that they will be buried with - to emotionally prepare them to the hard possibility that the one who left will not return home alive. If the warrior returns, their burial goods are all burned in a bonfire that is lit for the celebration of their return.

And to this modern day, mothers of the culture will tell their children "fine, but let me take your measures for burial clothes before you go" as a way of telling them that something they're about to do is lethally stupid. Sharing stories about just how dramatic their mothers are, someone tells their group of friends that his mother once actually took out a measuring tape to start taking his measures when he said he's leaving home for a work trip.

And another one goes "pfft, yeah. This one time I went to a rock concert and came back home to mom sitting on her sewing machine, fucking making me a funeral coat."

How I imagine the final fight going.

I see your extended universe (and heavily agree I made a chart about it in middle school) and raise you also that the Wish List also takes place in this world but is just removed.

I bring this up to theorize that the Time Tunnel is related to the afterlife tunnel described in Wish List and that the creatures of the Time Tunnel might be related to the demons/sinners (cannot remember actual name rn)

Head Canon time

Well, this is less a head canon, more a theory (A Colfer Theory). My belief is that all of Eoin Colfer’s main stories (Airman, W.A.R.P, Artemis Fowl, Fowl Twins and Supernaturalist) are all part of the same universe. Specifically, they’re all about extraordinary members of the same family. 

But I’m not saying they’re all Fowl’s, I’m saying they’re all from Angeline’s side of the family.

Spoilers for much of Eoin Colfer’s books. Go read them. They’re really good.

Oh thank god I'm not alone in that fear!! (hi prev here)

I totally agree on giving Steph back her agency, especially with a good competent writer for her.

I could even see there being a possible story using talking around the pregnancy if the writer wanted to go for a 'can't even think about it completely' thing (especially as a way to smooth over discontinuity of it not being mentioned at all since the baby was born) that led into a character arc around Steph coming to terms with and/or maybe opening up about it with someone she's close to (my vote would be Cass but I'm a shameless StephCass lover lol)

Also to be clear I wasn't worried about fans pigeonholing her but more DC itself since I don't really trust them with much cause ya know *gestures at just about everything*.

Just because DC are cowards who refuse to grapple with the fact that they made the 15 year old vigilante pregnant only to allow her to allude to it two (2) times after the fact doesn’t mean we have to be.

Take my hand. Let’s give Stephanie Browns pregnancy lasting thematic significance to her character and take into account the mental scars it likely gave her together. Let’s draw her with a c-section scar. Let’s draw parallels between Steph and Crystal and Steph’s view of motherhood and responsibility. Let’s talk about how despite purposefully making the choice not to know the gender of her baby after giving birth Steph genders the baby female on her deathbed.

just encountered the exact opposite problem of when people name babies instead of future adults. one of my classmates named her son octavius maximus. girl we are naming future adults not future roman emperors

mildly funny when someone gets divorced out of your family and your relationship status becomes like. ex-uncle. ex-stepsibling. yeah we shared holiday dinners for years and now you're just some guy to me. c'est la vie.

Messages from the Birds of Prey.

Reading DC comics from back in the day and having other characters casually call up Oracle on the regular when they needed information is just making me sad man. Barbara Gordon used to be at the center of the goddamn universe. She used to be the go-to gal for everybody in the cape and cowl community. She was the glue that held the world together. The freaking JSA went to her whenever they were in a jam for christ's sake. Now what the hell does she have? She lost just as much as Cass and Stephanie did in the N52 if we're being honest.

i wish i could point at my mom and be like ah yes thats the tool that gave me social anxiety but comically my parents were actually fairly chill. like i was never threatened with punishment but kid me decided to construct my own rules and then lived in constant fear of breaking them. like girl at least it makes sense when the catholics get haunted by guilt. what was my excuse.

dan and phil’s tastes in men baffle me because based on their personalities you’d think dan would be into conventionally attractive men and phil would be into weird street magicians or court jesters doing yoyo tricks but no it’s dan who’s into anthropomorphic tigers and pharmaceutical logos and himself and phil’s the one lusting over muscly hunks posting thirst traps on tiktok
