What if… Ed had asked Izzy to go with them to the fancy party?
Izzy is glaring and grumbling while he does the ribbons on Ed’s beard for the party and Ed asks him to come with him and he pouts and makes big puppy eyes until Izzy eventually caves in. It doesn’t take much effort on Ed’s part, really, because secretly Izzy thinks it’s a good idea since that way he can keep him safe if things get nasty somehow, unlikely as it sounds.
So Izzy ends up wearing a stupid posh outfit and everything (he refuses laces and frills, but the thing he is wearing still has too many golden buttons, it’s ridiculous) and goes to the fancy party and oh, boy, refraining from stabbing those idiots is the hardest thing he has done in his life, but Edward is having a great time so he clenches his jaw and glares from a corner in silence.
And later, when Ed is angry and ready to kill those arseholes himself, Izzy is by his side in an instant, swiftly taking out a knife he has hidden under the many layers of stupidly fine fabric, because how dare those pathetic fucking idiots! Ed was having such a great time! In fact it has been a very long time since Izzy has seen Ed so happy, but he doesn’t want to dwell on that, he simply wants to kill those twats that have made fun of the great Blackbeard!
But then Bonnet stops them and does something… incredible. He effortlessly manages to make those posh idiots pay for being nasty to Edward and they set their own ship on fire themselves and while they are going back to the Revenge, the ship full of posh idiots burning slowly at their back, Izzy sees Bonnet in a different light. Maybe he is not such a useless twat, he thinks. Who would have thought?
“I’m sorry, I hope it wasn’t too bad,” Bonnet says then with an apologetic smile. “I never really enjoyed much those parties myself when I was back home…”
“Nah, mate, it was fun,” Ed says, smiling at him.
“Well, I didn’t enjoy it at first, but it got better by the end,” Izzy replies with a smirk.
And Ed sporfles loudly and puts one arm around Izzy’s shoulders and the other around Bonnet’s and squeezes both of them playfully.
“I’m sure the next one will be even better!” Ed says, smiling broadly.
Izzy groans loudly, but when he glances to the side he sees Bonnet smiling at them and thinks that maybe it won’t be that bad. If they can keep burning their fancy ships at the end of the party, it might even be tolerable.
(Bonnet promises Izzy to find him another outfit without laces or frills for the next party and Izzy can’t understand why he would need a new one, but when he says so Bonnet looks shocked and stutters “You-you want to wear the same outfit?! *gasp*)
(They spend quite some time arguing about the ‘crime’ of repeating outfits in posh parties and/or the ‘ridiculousness of the fucking idea’ and Ed just leans back and looks at them, having a great time.)

the main reason there exists a proportion of fantasy nerds who love to dunk on elves every chance we get is that elves often boil down to basically just "what if there were a bunch of conventionally attractive white twinks who live forever and are better than everyone else at literally everything" and that's kinda fuckin obnoxious
"elves would actually be way than everyone at--" don't care + didn't ask + throwing your skinny ass through a sewer grate

wait idk anything about the tevis’— why would tommy tevis call dick his son? would you be willing to give a quick rundown
After Dick failed to get himself incarcerated, he became an enforcer for a mob boss named Tommy Tevis. Tommy took Dick in and made him part of his family. Tommy considered him an honorary son and thought very highly of him.
Nightwing (Vol. 2) #107
He even told Dick that everything he had (his home, his reputation, his family, etc.) was Dick's as well. Lynette, Tommy's wife, told Dick that Tommy would let Dick do anything. The whole family loved Dick, including Tommy's 15 year old daughter, Sophia. Sophia actually had a crush on Dick, but Dick acted like an older brother to her, helping her with her homework and such.
While Dick was away from the family for a few days, the cops busted into the Tevis's home. Lynette got killed in the gunfire, Tommy got taken to jail, and Sophia got taken in by the state.
Dick, while mentoring Rose, broke Sophia out of the state home. He got Sophia to help him with the mob. Then, when Chemo fell on Bludhaven, Dick saved Sophia and left her with Amy. When they reunited at the hospital, Dick asked Sophia to leave the mob behind and join a boarding school.
So, yeah, that's Dick's relationship with the Tevis family.

Chat I don't think I considered that in little space I'd be sassy and more inclined to talking back and sticking out my tongue playfully and that the wrong right cg would take advantage of that and goat me into it so they can control correct my behavior.

I was holding my breath during this interaction. It was the first time they met after she left the shell in the ocean.
There is so much left unsaid between them. Why did he disappear and not say goodbye to her? Why did he even go into trouble to save her and give her his blood for so many years? She thinks it was because of the deal he made with CangXuan.
There is some initial awkwardness which is swiftly overcome by his usual teasing. He asks her if she is sad that Jing took on the role of the clan leader.
She explains that she has always dealt with bad situations so she never expects any happiness whatsoever. So when things turn out bad, she is not sad.
And he is like so you can never enjoy anything happy in your life because you always expect bad things to happen. And she replies that she focuses on the joy of the present moments.
And of course this discussion ends as usual between them: Let's go on a date!
