Being Young has never been this Refreshing

I am a big fan of Super Smash Bros, I have been since 2011 playing Brawl. In 2014, I was so hyped for Sm4sh and chose to experience the hype for Brawl. And of course, Ultimate blows those 2 out of the water. Now, I haven't played the original nor Melee but I will. Despite being such a big Nintendo fan their 5th and 6th generation of consoles are the only eras of gaming I am lacking in experience. This is especially funny because a) I have a lot of knowledge about 90s Nintendo anyways and b) I have played significant amount of PS and PC games from this era. But back to Smash. I am so glad I was not aware of the competitive scene outside of comps at high school so I'm very aware of what the game fully has to offer. i.e I can enjoy it on a very casual level. And look I get it, a lot of items are very B.S but I love B.S. Assist Trophies and Pokemon are cool as hell. But I understand turning them off. But Smash Balls? Get out of here. My point is, though I don't regularly play with items I always have an advantage against my opponents online when the rules allow them. Also, some items like certain bombs or the S-flag are great additions that can spice the game up. Another aspect that is ignored in the competitive scene are the stages. For a little anecdote my friends play CS:GO. Personally I can't stand the game but even less can I stand their behaviour when playing. What especially bugs me is whenever they complain about the map they end up. Collectively, they hate about 4 maps ... which is half of them. I can't imagine playing a game where I hate half the maps or find them mediocre, it's partially why I don't play MK8 too much. Thankfully, in Ultimate, there are only 6 bad stages out of 100 and they're mainly due to gimmicks. Initially I was going to write about how lackluster the new maps felt but honestly they're pretty decent. The Odyssey, BOTW, and Splatoon are all great maps with the Castlevania one being one the best. And with the DLC the Persona one is also one of the best with the Fatal Fury, Tekken, and FE: Three Houses stages being great and surprisingly the Xenoblade one aswell. The issue is that's it, 15 stages with most of them being pretty generic showing off the world they inhabit. And there were only 4 new stages on launch! Only a third of the stages are great with the rest varying from bad to decent. I feel like I'm coming off across a bit wish-washy. Competitive smash has bled into the stage design and I don't understand how they can ignore stages like Fourside or The Great Bay but at the same time who would want to play The Great Cave Offensive? But of course the most important and most speculative aspect of Smash is the roster. You can definitely tell the newer characters from the old but that's not a disservice to either, although the DLC do feel a little busted. The initial new roster are all standout choices and feel very unique with the exception of Isabelle. I get that Animal Crossing is very popular and it should have probably had a new rep but do we really need Villager 1.5? Can you imagine if they added Louie from Pikmin or Ninten from Mother? There would be no problem. Smash has always had a problem with clones and I draw the line at Luigi, Lucas, and Ganondorf, the rest (Dr. Mario, Pichu, Falco, Young Link, Roy/Chrom, Lucario, Toon Link) can go! Sadly, I think the DLC characters are a bit worse. Min-Min and Pyra/Mythra are just bad. Bad characters and bad reps. Most of the rest suffer in one way or another. Sora is boring, Byleth is a good character but suffers from the FE effect, Terry and Kazuya are good choices but I'll go into them a bit later for now I'll just say it would have been nice to have a female fighting character, and Hero and Steve (and Pyra/Mythra) are a bit busted. Only Joker and Sephiroth are the only perfect DLC. (I've neglected Piranha Plant and Banjo but I will be bringing them up in the next post. For now I will say that Piranha Plant is perfect.) So, what would my ideal roster be?

You’re one of the best HOTD blogs out here!

Do you have any HCs for Aegon’s kids Jaehaera, Jaehaerys, and Maelor?

Omg thank you so much, ur too sweet😊

Jaehaera:

Jaehaera is either autistic (though idk if I wanna go that route bc it seems like that's how they're portraying Helaena as) or she might just have alexythymia which is a mood disorder

She was born first which is suprising since she was much smaller than her brother

She has night terrors after Jaehaerys is murderer and Aegon us actually the only oje who can calm her which surprises everyone, especially him. He sings to her (bc I want them to incorporate that TGC can sing😂)

She experiences random outbursts of crying or anger also after b&c and sometimes she doesn't even know what it's about

hates red, green, and black. Yellow is her favorite color

Hates Storms which is why she hated being at Storms End

Preferred to be alone or only the company of her twin before he died. She kinda doesn't feel that much for Maelor, like don't get me wrong thats her little brother but he's still a baby so you know

Was closest with her mom before the war, closest to aegon after b&c

She had a doll collection but not normal ones, like they all had something weird about them and some would stare but she loved them

For some reason I just imaginimagine scene where Aegon us really is distress and crying and stuff and she just comes and sits besides him. she doesn't say anything, she just sits, wipes one of his tears away and puts a hand ontop of his. It's oddly comforting and in that moment aegon feels like she's older than she seems, until she gives him her favorite doll as protection. He sleeps with it that night

Jaehaerys:

He's the loudest and most boisterous (borderline obnoxious; like bangs his toys on the ground)

Definitely gives Helaena headaches but after will pick a flower or dig in the garden to get her a bug later as an apology

Won't let anyone talk bad about his sister

unlike his brother he prefers to be indoors

Him and Jaehaera have their own secret way to communicate

They like to finish one another sentences bc they find it funny that it freaks people out

He honestly really a sweetheart

Loves sweets, especially honeycomb

Is loud sometimes just bc he want his fathers attention bc he's just at that age where the neglect is starting to kick in

Gave maelor a ball the day he was born and while laughing Helaena, Alicent, and Aemond had to explain he had to wait till Maelor was bigger to play (he pouted at that)

Was cross when confined to the Red Keep when the Dance started bc he wanted to see his Dagon Srykos

Insomniac (a nightmare to put to bed but in a funny way, like begging for onfomore story)

Sings to Jaehaera (not very well) to help her when she's scared of the storms

actually very affectionate but would pick his twin over anyone anyway (though his mother and grandmother are always invited)

Sleeps with a toy sword and tells Jaehaera that he's a knight that the sword is protection from any danger that might come to them, and tell Aemond he's going to be a better fighter than him one day and begs to be allowed to train even at six

Maelor:

He's alot quieter than his brother, though not as quiet as his sister

I can see him being very clingy to like anyone and just wants to be held constantly

he's the most unruly of the three, even more so after b&c and is prone to tantrums especially when his father is near in some hope of gaining his attention

He loves his toy soldiers and dragons and will play for hours

He is a little mischievous.he finds it funny to scare people, like just jump out of nowhere and yell boo. I also see him really liking hide and seek cause it helps with the scaring

he prefers to stay outside and is also ways getting dirty in the mud and dirt

The type to just randomly come up and give people rocks he found and nod to it expectantly as if he'd just given you something important (it's important to him okay 😂)

I think there's a sadness to him as well that he doesn't really understand or the distancness he suddenly feels towards his mother whom he used to not stand to be apart from (its bc of b&c but he don't know it bc he only subconsciously remembers it bc he's so young)

Likes jewelry and shiny things and has a hidden "lair" of treasure

Had a dragons egg placed in the cradle but it never hatched (it makes Aemond very fond of him but also makes him weary bc Aemond hates being reminded of that time in his life)

For his birthday one year Aemond actually got him a tot dragon and he named it...wait for it...Dagon (a simple childish name like how reckon named his wolf Shaggydog; Aemond tried to talk him out of the name but Alicent & Helaena wouldn't let him so he grudgingly agreed)

He's Daeron's favorite

I'm so sorry this took so long and that it's so short, this was kinda hard to do bc they're so young being only 6 and 2 and we don't know anything really about them but i hope you like it👍

Annalyne Sonata [IkeVamp OC]

Hey guys! I am so verry happy to finally being able to officially introduce my IkeVamp OC, Annalyne! ٩(●ᴗ●)۶

This is a very long post, but I hope you won’t be discouraged and will enjoy learning a bit more about her, and the story I imagined for her (^.^)ゞ

I also commissioned the MOST AMAZING ARTIST EVER @lemonsqueazie​ for drawing my baby OC! ღවꇳවღ She is my favourite artist, and also an amazing human being that I love very much. She is so attentive to what you tell her, always doing everything to meet your ideas and make the best art for you! I highly recommend to check out her blog @lemonsqueazie​ alongside her Instagram and her DeviantArt post about her commissions! You can also find all the infos here.

NOW, ON WITH THE OC! (๑ゝڡ◕๑)

Name: Annalyne

Last name: Sonata

Nicknames: Anna, Nana, Lyn

DOB: June, 19, 1995 (25 years old)

Origin: French

Languages: French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean

Height: 160cm (5.25ft)

Sexuality: pan

Job: freelance fashion designer, blogger, gamer

Passions: fashion, drawing, eating, baking, cooking, videogames, reading, music

Phobias: larvas and maggots, bugs (except ladybugs)

Lover: Leonardo Da Vinci

"Heh? What is this? Kinda like a storage room?"

Annalyne is a very chill woman, taking things at her own pace and working hard towards her goals and dreams. When she doesn't work, she becomes a lazy slug chilling with a good book or videogames -part of why she is also a gamer-.

Her most prominent traits are definitely: her kindness, her humour -made of bad puns and references-, her caring side, her clumsiness and her supportive behaviour. Number one fan of her family and friends.

She will always go out of her way to make her loved ones feel loved, supported or just important. She can also easily throw hands if needed. No one messes with her or her close ones without getting punished.

She has a hard time trusting people. It looks like she is close to everyone, but she hardly confides in people. It takes a hecking long time to build a relationship of trust with her -due to some childhood traumas-

She is strong-willed and -way too- a tad stubborn. But she compensates by being very sweet and cute. She can be very anxious but eating calms her, explaining her chubbiness. Also, count on her for helping everyone.

She is very good at cooking and baking, and loves making things herself. She loves dogs, but honestly, she loves almost every animal ever. She has a talent with them, understanding them beyond reason: animals love her.

"Call me the PUNisher."

She is easily triggered by disrespect, racism, homophobia, bullying and abuse. She can kick your ass off if needed, being very rude and violent when angry -she already broke the arm of a racist, and slapped Shakespeare...-

Comte is the one engaging conversation with her, asking her if she likes this painting. She is hyper excited talking about it and Comte cannot help but giggle, finding a Da Vinci's fangirl in modern days being pretty rare.

How she met Comte:

Annalyne lives near Paris and absolutely loves museums. Therefore she spends a hella lot of time in the Louvre, especially contemplating Da Vinci's works. She meets Comte in front of Da Vinci's painting Saint-Jean-Baptiste.

They spend some time debating and chatting over Leonardo Da Vinci's life, works of art and other controversies. He smiles a lot throughout the whole chat, since he wonders how his old friend would react.

How she ends up in Comte's mansion:

Comte bids her goodbye after they have finally seen Mona Lisa from up close. She thanks him for the delightful conversation, happy she has met someone as knowledgeable as him on her favourite historical figure.

She is taken aback, quite surprised, and thinks the mansion is a storage room. Maybe the man is actually an employee? She is curious though so she walks through the hall and stares at everything in awe.

When he leaves, waving his hand, his pocket watch falls and Annalyne picks it up. She chases after Comte all over the museum and sees him going through a door. She opens it and ends up in the mansion's hall.

Who she meets:

While discovering the hall, she stumbles upon Leonardo who's asleep. She doesn't want to wake him up but God, she stares for a good minute at the sleeping man. "I have never seen such a gorgeous man..."

She walks past him and continues looking for Comte. But then, Napoleon appears and asks her who she is, and what she does here. She tells him she wants to find the gorgeous blonde man to give him his watch.

He offers to give to him in lieu of her. But she is wary of him, a stranger. And Comte appears, the noise having caught up his attention. He recognises Annalyne and is surprised she is there. She gives him the watch.

The first dinner:

Comte gladly accepts the watch and asks her if she wants to dine with him and the residents of this mansion. Mansion? She stares at him, dumbfounded, and frowns. "Mansion? Isn't that a storage room or something?"

Comte giggles and promises to explain it all over dinner. Her trust for Comte and her love for food makes her accepting the offer. How surprised she is upon seeing all these people gather around a huge table!

She sits down and gets served by Sebastian, under all the surprised looks. Comte then proceeds on explaining it all to her: how all the residents in there are famous historical figures, and how she is the past.

How she reacts:

She is surprised, but she believes in timelapse, magic, etc. So she just stares in surprise and shock but is soon overexcited to meet all these people who changed history and inspired her throughout her whole life.

She will ask a bunch of questions to each of them, questions she has always been curious about, like the rumours and alleged controversies. Even when she hears about not being able to go back in her time, she is strangely chill about it.

"Well, there's no helping it! I will come up with a lie when I go back there!" But she will write letters and leave them -along jewels of hers- in places she thinks her friends or family could find them in the future.

Meeting her soulmate:

Sebastian shows her her room and then tells her to explore the mansion if she wants to. What she does! She then remembers the man sleeping in the hall? He must be a historical figure as well, but who can he be...?

She wants to know so she goes to find him and stumbles upon him, nearly falling on top of him. He seems awake since he is sitting on the floor. He had heard her footsteps so he smiles at her. "Well, who do we got there, Cara Mia?"

She smiles at the Italian nickname and tells him everything about her being here. He is surprised she is so chill about it but he smiles and introduces himself. "Well Cara Mia, nice to meet you. I'm Leonardo Da Vinci."

Upon hearing the name, her eyes widen and her breath catches in her throat. She stares, her heart beating faster every passing second. His smile is intoxicating and she cannot help but blush and stutter.

"W-well, nice to meet you, Leonar- huh Sir Leonardo? How, how should I call you?" He laughs."Leonardo is enough, Cara Mia." He smiles and pats her head before standing up. "Watch yourself, Cara Mia."

Her reaction upon the vampiric reveal:

After having talked with Comte and decided to stay in his mansion, she actually wonders how he could resurrect them. She decides to ask Sebastian, her new colleague, and he just shows her the Rouge and Blanc bottles.

"What's that?" She asks, pretty curious."Take a look and you will understand." She first goes for the Rouge and recognises the metallic smell of blood. She stares at Sebastian. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"They are all vampires. Except I, who is human." She widens her eyes, sueprised, and then goes "Aaaaah, that's how he did! Makes sense!" She smiles. "Is Comte the one who transformed them all or no?" "He did, yes."

"So, is he like, a pureblood vampire? A superior vampire who can turn humans into vampires?" "How do you know about this?" "Oh please, Sebastian. Cinema, animes, mangas and books are full of vampires."

Sebastian stares at her, bewildered. "And you are not afraid? They could easily feed off of you, even kill you." "Oh please Sebastian, they're more like puppies than wolves! If they were capable of this, you wouldn't be here!"

"Plus," she says while flashing a big dumb grin. "If they wanted to eat me, they would have already bitten me and emptied me of all my blood. They are not dangerous." Sebastian is shocked at how chill she is.

Her relationships with the residents:

She gets close to every resident ofthe mansion pretty fast, especially since she is not pushy, funny, kind, calm and knowledgeable on a lot of matters. They all grow a soft spot for her, even shyer and harsher residents.

Napoleon: they bond over cooking and baking. Also, since she is French, she can tell him about the impact he had on her country.

Mozart: music is common ground for them. She knows a lot about him and will sing for him, being allowed in the music room.

Arthur: writing sessions together, in his room or hers. They tease each other a lot and she is quick to react to his flirting.

Vincent: they are very close, bonding over drawing and painting. They talk a lot about art and have art sessions.

Theodorus: she doesn't let him win with his harsh replies and he likes that. She is strong and adores Vincent: he likes her a lot.

Isaac: she isn't pushy and gives him room so he likes talking with or teaching her a few things. They often meet in his room.

Jean: he likes how pure she is but she doesn't let him avoid her. She will do anything to befriend him and he gives in.

Dazai: sharing writing ideas brings them closer. They also laugh a lot because they are both airheads amd chaotic walking memes.

William: she likes his work but hates him. She will always avoid him, or shoot sharp daggers glares at him.

Comte: the father figure. She loves going to him to talk or when she needs some calm, and having tea together.

Sebastian: always laughing and teasing each other. She will flick his forehead when he assumes things for her.

Her relationship with her soulmate:

She is a Da Vinci's fangirl so of course, she is a mess around him. At first, she just blushes a lot, stutters a bit around him and she fangirls when he is not around. "Omg I can't believe I witnessed him sketching!!!"

They bond very easily since they both love arts. And Leonardo is very curious about her fashion style, her job, and basically how the world works in modern days -she spent an entire night talking about phones-

One day, he finds her sighing in her room: "what's the problem?". "Ah, nothing, I'm just, not comfortable in Comte's dresses. I'm more into trousers or skirts from my time." He is curious so she tells him about modern day fashion.

"Ah, so women wear pants and shirts. Whatever they want." She nods excitiedly."Yeah, and I hope one day men will be able to do so as well! Wear skirts and dresses and heels. But toxic masculinity is still pretty deep..."

"Wait for me, Cara Mia" and he dashes off the room, to come back later with a stack of shirts and trousers. "Here, take these. They're mine but for now, it will do. Tomorrow, we're going shopping for you."

And they do go shopping the next day, buying loads of men clothes alongside jewels and shoes. Also, they buy fabrics, needles and everything for Annalyne to sew her own clothes. He loves seeing her so happy.

She spends the next days adjusting Leonardo's clothes and the ones they bought to her chubby curves. And Leonardo surprises her by wearing a dress. They go have dinner like this: her in men's clothes, him in women's clothes.

Legend says every resident nearly choked themselves of either shock or laughter. And Leonardo and Annalyne really enjoyed it a lot and decided to do this at least once a week -Leo enjoyed the dress, actually-

The purebloodness revelation:

She catches very early on that he is a pureblood, without him even telling her. She is extra sensitive so she kinda feels auras and saw how Comte and Leonardo's eyes are similar. His genius made even more sense.

"Leonardo. Are you like Comte, a pureblood vampire?" She asked him while they were shopping for fabrics. Leonardo nearly fell out of surprise. "What are you talking about, Cara Mia?" "Well, you know..."

"Same eyes as Comte, genius who can do anything, super strong and intimidating aura. Open-minded as if you've already seen everything, and laziness that can be explained by already having done everything possible..."

He stares at her and then laughs, patting and ruffling her hair. "You're awfully clever and intuitive, Cara Mia. Yes, I am a pureblood. Does it change anything between us? "HELL NO!" she shouts. "But I've got questions!!!"

She drowns him under questions on everything he's done, seen, lived. They spend almost all of their time together, teaching each other about their lives and their knowledge. Residents are jealous of the Leonardo monopoly.

How it "ends" between them:

She is a strong woman and will go back to her time. But she promises Leonardo she will find him, right after returning to her time. He asks her what day it was, when she entered the mansion. "March, 15th, 2020."

When she leaves, while everyone is crying, Leonardo calculates. "Okay, gone for a month in her time, so she'll be in the Louvre in April, 15th, 2020. Ah. My birthday." He smiles. Almost 200 years, but it will be so worth it.

When she passes through the door, she is back in her time. Asking a guide what day it is. "April, 15th, 2020". The day they agreed upon, and Leonardo's birthday. She smiles and then proceeds to rush out of the Louvre to look for him.

But then she passes in front of Saint-Jean-Baptiste. Her favourite painting. A tall and gorgeous man is standing there, in a blue shirt and blue jeans. She feels it. She goes to the man, pats him on the shoulder, and asks: "Leonardo...?"

The man turns around, a huge grin on his face, bright golden eyes shining with love: "Was about time, Cara Mia..." she cries and throws herself at his neck; he spins her, crying as well, burrying his face in her neck.

"I missed you so much. Never do this again. 200 years was worth it but it was too long." She is a mess while crying. "I, I pwomiss Leo, I will neba leaf you again-" he laughs at her messy face. "Look at you, silly girl." He kisses her.

"I want you to see how much I love you in my eyes. They speak on my behalf."

Trivia facts:

She has a tiny water spray bottle she labelled as "Holy Water". Whenever a resident smiles or laughs, she opens it and "collects" their happiness. Thus, when one is talking shit about himself, she sprays the water on them.

"There, you have been blessed with Holy Water. Now love yourself or I agressively hug you." -the mistake on the label,on "thoughts" is intended, as it is is a mix between thots and thoughts, bitch thoughts she's gonna spray away.

She hates Shakespeare, Faust and Vlad. Whenever they pass by the mansion, she grabs the garden hose she labelled "Garden Hoes" and splashes water on them. "Oh no, you walking sin, stay away from my babies!"

She eats A LOT and puts shame on Theo when it comes to eating sweet things. They have pancake-eating competitions -and guess what, she wins-. She will be snacking 24/7 when nervous, anxious, sad and basically under negative emotions.

She listens to every type of music. She really enjoys any kind of rock music, and is also very knowledgeable on classical music. She likes to dance on Kpop and sing on Disney songs: her favourites are definitely I’ll Make A Man Out Of You and Why Should I Worry -in French-

She used to practice martial arts so she can beat the crap out of anyone being a little sh*t with her or her loved ones. She also has a very scary aura when furious, leading to most people just running away from her wrath.

She loves gossiping with Arthur. Whenever she knows about some rumours, or when she needs to talk about something that upset her, she goes to his room with coffee or tea. They both irradiate chaotic gossiping energy when together.

She is the mom friend, and becomes the mom of the mansion. She already told Jean to “get his bottoms in the living room to eat with all of them”, else she was going to kick his butt so hard he would be unable to sit or practice fencing.

All the animals LOVE her. Chérie is missing? She is cuddling with her in the patio. Lumiere is not under the bed? He is sleeping on her laps while she reads. King is nowhere to be found? She is playing with him in the garden. Snow White vibe.

She loves flowers and will put some all over the mansion. She puts one every day in front of every resident’s door, with a message written on a tiny piece of paper, something like: “You are a sweetheart and you deserve the best, keep going, dearie!”

Listen this is crackhead territory but I fucking love the idea that pre-crisis Jason Todd /hated/ the costumes and wore them only out of spite. Youre welcome to pick between the green scaley panties or the deadass circus getup he gets from Dicks old stuff somewhere in the detective comics lmao they're both unique atrocities (Also ily Jinnie

"Jaylad, what are you wearing?"

Jason looks down at his clothes, raising his eyebrows dramatically like he doesn't see anything... wrong.

Jason looks back up at Bruce, eyes wide and incredibly innocent. Too innocent. Jason is definitely up to something, and he's definitely pretending like he isn't. "Um, clothes?" Jason says. "Gee, B, I thought you were a detective."

Bruce stares at Jason, trying to figure out what in the world would posses his newest kid to want to go out into town in a nice dress shirt and tie paired with none other than... bootie shorts. with holes in them. Pockets poking out through the bottom hems like Jason cut them with a dull pair of scissors but left the pockets intact just to make them look even more rediculous.

"Master Jason, won't you be cold?" Alfred asks, not sounding as bothered as he should be.

Jason grins and shakes his head. "Nope! I have warm blood."

Bruce resists rubbing his jaw with his hand in exasperation. "Jason, why are you wearing those... Shorts?"

"Oh!" Jason gasps and hits his forehead like he's just realized he's forgotten something. "You meant these? You see, Bruce, I've found I really like super short shorts! My legs feel so free, and I've decided I'm never going to wear long pants again—I cut all of them!"

"Good for you, Master Jason."

Bruce looks at Alfred with betrayal before returning his gaze towards the atrocity that is Jason Todd. He's definitely up to something. But Bruce won't fall for it. He takes a calming breath and turns towards the door. "Fine then," he says.

"Yeah, fine," Jason shoots back. And it's left at that as the three of them leave the manor into the city for a rare family dinner out.

-o-o-o-o-

It takes Dick a moment to realize what's going on. At first he didn't even realize that something was going on, in fact it was the staring from the other diners that called Dick's attention to it.

Jason is sitting at the table, one leg stubbornly resting on the wooden table and victoriously staying there even as Bruce keeps trying to knock it off. Which, well, isn't exactly out of character for Jason. The kid is persistent and likes to kick his feet up onto things. It's just, well, he's not exactly wearing the most appropriate pair of pants in the world for that kind of position.

"Ahh, feel the breeze on my thighs!" Jason says loudly halfway into dinner and Bruce almost chokes on his lobster. The woman at another table isn't so lucky as she quite literally launches a stream of wine from her mouth in a coughing fit. "My legs are so fr- mph!

Bruce landed his mouth over Jason's mouth just in time to prevent the boy from finishing the sentence, but the damage is already done. Dick and many more diners in the fancy restaurant are all now painfully aware Jason if hardly wearing any pants and is rather eager to verbalizes that he's hardly wearing any pants.

The manager is standing across the floor of the restaurant, looking painfully caught between asking a disruptive customer to leave and asking Bruce Wayne to leave.

After a few more loud comments from Jason, Bruce decides to see him and Jason out himself, head in his hands all the way until Dick watches them drive away.

Dick shrugs and puts all the doggie bags from their meal in the passenger seat of his car, knowing that Jason must be trying to get something from Bruce, and it must be important if public humiliation is his strategy.

He makes bets with himself on the way back to Blüdhaven of what it could possibly be about.

He thinks he has a good idea. And he wonders how long it will take for Batman to cave.

It only takes a week.

-o-o-o-o-

It was pure chance Tim managed to grab a picture of it. His parents were out—again—and he was lucky enough that the newest nanny was a bit of a ditz so she didn't even notice him sneak out with his new camera.

Gotham is a huge city, but it's a cold night which means the Dynamic Duo is more likely to start at the Narrows tonight rather than anywhere else in the city. Get the worst of it done to warm yourself up, and then deal with the rest of the city after you've already worked up a sweat.

But still, it was still just a bunch of luck that Tim happened to be staking out on the fire escape hanging over the exact alley Batman and Robin eventually end up in.

He notices quickly that Batman is annoyed about something, and Robin is babbling loud enough to be obviously proud of something. Perhaps the same something.

It's just chance that a fly runs into an electric bug zapper at the same time Tim takes his picture of the two of them, allowing just enough light for just enough time for his camera to get just the right kind of lighting for the photo. Batman and Robin quickly move on and Tim quickly runs home before the nanny notices him gone.

She doesn't notice him gone. He grabs a bowl of ice cream and retreats to his room to look at the pictures he's captured tonight.

And, because a whole lot of luck, Tim finds himself being the first to know about the costume change, besides the criminals who found themselves at the wrong end of the bat-fist tonight of course.

He stares at the picture for a long time, thrown off.

"Huh," Tim says quietly to himself, "Robin's wearing pants now. Nice."

-o-o-o-o-

If Jason knew beforehand that jacking the batmobile's tires, hitting Batman with a tire iron, and calling him a big boob would not only land him the position of Robin, but the costume as well, Jason would have hit the jerk a little harder.

But that's okay now. It took some time, but he finally has a decent pair of pants to fight in now.

And besides, it was totally worth it to watch Bruce look halfway dead from embarrassment for an entire week until finally cornering Jason and begging him to wear proper pants.

Jason did, for a condition.

He smiles, cherishing the image Bruce's horrified face every time Jason mentioned how good the breeze felt on his exposed legs.

Yeah. It was so worth it.

1st I have to say this b4 I repeat the post from fb. This is a place where I can speak my mind freely without judgement, speak my peace even. Which is exactly what im gonna do so prepare for a read. So think what u want idc, but the last thing I wanna do is tick some1 I know off cause on some level there's a mutual appreciation & respect regardless of my impression. And anyone that reads this isn't obligated to understand my opinion & I dont expect u to. With my brain its my thought process to let information out of my head so I can put things aside, observe & absorb more lol. Writing is another tool or coping mechanism for my anxieties & other psych ailments, treatment for my mental health depends on it & other hobbies in other words, especially during shutdown, something to focus on. Heck even youtube is recommended by my doctor if it keeps me happy lol. But because ill be working again, I may not have time to do alot of things I like sadly..idk i just wouldnt want to be burnt out & focus on more important things. I have a high respect for anyone working around people during this time & it must worrisome for u too, means I have to keep on my toes as well soon..its a scary world out there for an introvert but I was killin it in NY too. It was just a slow steady process with all the limitations & moving my life up there wasn't easy to begin with but I pulled through & did it all...only for it to be taken away.

So, I'm an Irish, German, Canadian,British Mut from tucson. Maternal & paternal immidiate families lineage mixed made me, including my NY blood from my bio dad. The rest is all over Europe but u get the idea. Tucson may be where i was born & my 1st home without a father & raised not knowing (were mardi gras babies btw 😒)

But NY is & will forever be my 2nd home i dont care what any1 says, I felt I belonged there. Its the other half of me quite literally.Theres a memory that's really been bugging me. Last day b4 i left it, a bald eagle flew across my path in the sky no joke going NE & I was departing back to the SW. I chose the eagle years ago cause I identify with it. including the background symbolism in different phases of my life that included them lol, but to actually see one was just amazing.

They symbolize strength+freedom in general despite it standing for the country from sea to shining sea lol. Also Braviary was always in my pokemon team besides pikachu since its gen came out lol. I've always been strong, whether some believe it to be true or not is their problem, only I know the things I've gone through. Point is different ends of the spectrum its always been with me throughout in some way & im glad i got to share it with someone that gave me the freedom I needed.

But yea I experienced what its like to be there & got to know that part of me even if I didn't find him & maybe didnt care...I feel I was meant to be there. I was in touch with my roots, lower Temps & above sea level rather than high temps & below sea level 🤣 I loved everything about my time up there. It'll always be a part of me, & I hope to see it again. But I digress.

But in regards to the relationship itself, emphasizing on what i said b4. Just as it i got "settled" in it was gone & I had no clue what was happening without my knowledge, the whole plan to bring me back, all of it, the whole chain of events that unfolded the way it did starting with leaving a marriage in the 1st place to be with him i mean come on lol. Chasing a dream that didn't play out the way we had hoped. I took leap of faith & I ended up starting over twice in 1 year with no benefit of the doubt. I still have my ny health insurance for the rest of the yr, I have to add it to my list to apply again in az. Ive been wearing the wrong prescription glasses for 6 months under quarantine & they're just now getting to stage 4 of opening lol. Just understand how frustrating that actually is for someone like me & u totally get it 😅 U want to take care of business but sometimes you're limited & gotta work around it. had all that covered there & then was told I settled, wrong thing to say & its no wonder I didn't blow up in his face right there & then 😒. But I have retraint & can control myself. Though it was out of my hands the new relationship didn't have to go sour, been just as long if not more, could've actually thrived given the proper balance with room to grow. Idk, Sometimes I honestly don't think anyone believed in me. I mean I have no debt, no record, no kids, im a clean slate type of girl lol. Yes I did end up feeling unappreciated, underestimated, a bit neglected, insecure about my body, ashamed for being myself, & I shouldn't have to feel that way at all & if that happens there obviously something off. I just didnt know what it is he wanted & needed, i wanted to help & be a good partner to this dude but why is it bad to ask the same in return? I shouldn't have to drastically change myself to fit someones standard i know, but...i needed the old him back, I missed the old us & wanted to get back to that.. Was always so closed off & probably ended up in his own head who knows, maybe there was guilt for some of the things he did & didnt want to hurt me anymore, spare my feelings any more than it did b4 it was too late.idk whatever the excuse i still don't know what triggered it all to fail so easily & i don't think i ever will. But ending up with the conclusion that I was the problem, its narcissistic to even believe that & i won't accept it. Not when he can't confront his own issuse & put blame onto himself too.. it was a low blow & literally felt like my heart was pierced at the sound of it. If im to blame its the other way around as well. My point of view wasn't acknowledged so this is my take & experiences of happened so plz dont hate me for speaking my truth.

But yea I can tell when somethings not right & feel strong empathy for others emotions. I knew something was different, there were signs everywhere since the mistrust started & during the last half of that time with him I questioned everything but sat in my own headspace as well as he did just thinking about it. If anything we failed eachother, the blame is on us both but idk what else i could've done to get through to him. That's the stubbornness, he wouldn't budge. Despite how things went down..Leaves me to think, what was the point of having me there in the 1st place, to not follow through with our shared hopes & dreams but instead spiral into such resentment for me that the interest faded. But at the at the same time...even if it ended early for him, I didn't give up & I fought to keep us okay which it was for the most part. Hindsight is 20/20, it definitely wasn't negative all the time. In fact things were great between us & acted like goofballs together, that right there is a friend despite if the stronger feelings weren't mutual. Nobody with hate in their heart acts like that, he was good, the best, cheered me up when I was down, shared interests & did things for eachother. But that alone makes me question what was truth & what was fiction sometimes ever since the trust between us started to fade. Am I in the right to feel what im feeling right now? Im angry & upset yes very, but the kindness he had throughout..he did care in his own way...which makes things so much harder.

Tripadoodle if some way you're listening, I hope u know now where im coming from. For your own benefit & quest to be a better man like you always wanted...actually try. Head my advice. Making yourself better shouldn't be put on a womans shoulders to do for u without her getting lifted in return...its alot of weight to handle for 1 person to carry lol. Get off your ass & build on yourself, learn from everything that happened & become better for yourself & the sake of others, Because it starts with u. Go to church if possible or watch them, it really does help. Even from across the country I still want u to do just as good & help u as a friend. You promised we could remain friends & im holding my end of the bargain whether u like it or not lol it was your idea during the ride here. All I wanted in the end was to not lose u in my life completely...but i should be patient i know.. Theres more space, im not contacting u directly & respecting that, eventually ill stfu lol but I feel I need this rn. I should hate u,but I cant hate u, I do still care, u had that affect on me so much that I can't really listen to others when they say ur a douchbag lol, u were still my rock the whole time even if u didn't feel the same after a while & u did help me alot as well. I see the good in people & u are good, with well balanced snarkiness & humorous sass to boot. light a fire under ur own ass & ull be okay lol. Never stopped believing in u. Ive seen what you can do, you're very smart & know your sh*t, u will go far lol. And as a friend I'd lend u my strength if I could but the most I can do is pray for things like safety/protection, healing, forgiveness, guidance, etc. Leave it to God if u feel compelled to. Give zanabell a hug for me.

God i talk way too much 😅 No im not doing any of this for attention, I want my voice to be heard as well as a possible learning experience if it had that effect on anyone. The things we learn build character & help us understand a little more about ourselves. Probably shouldn't share cuz its nobody's business, yea ive thought of that too.. But its a blog lol, Tumblr allowed it to be that space, opinions and rants are allowed & encouraged. Nothing wrong with that 🤷‍♀️ so who gives a crap.

These are pictures of the NY sunrise & AZ sunset. Clouds always get me cuz of the shapes, used to to take pics of them all the time. once saw mario holding a hammer when I was a kid 😂 3rd & 4th pic is a split rainbow, never seen that b4...either someone found the gold or its deciding whether or not to connect. Probably was connected but I missed it lol. But then I looked behind me after the split 1 disappeared & a double rainbow was forming. Nature can be scary but also beautiful
