Damian: أحبك. (I love you.)

Y/N: I love you, too.

Damian: You-How did you-?

Y/N: Guess this is a good a time as any to tell you I'm fluent in Arabic.

"If I were to carry you on my back

And roam the earth with you, the sweetness of your love would make me feel as though I am carrying a rose... So I neither tire nor grow weary in that."

I'm feeling some kind of a way about Gideon the First again. There should be a dramatic story there. He must have been somebody, for Pyrrha to have loved him as she did. That man was a groundbreaking engineer. Quite literally a rocket scientist. He designed the ships intended to take humanity into the future, and he helped design the ships that eventually did launch; the very first faster than light vessels. He must have been a genius.

And it's so goddamn easy to forget that about him, because he's so quiet. Because his body wasn't his half the time we knew him. Because there was a boy on his block who used to buy him hand pies, and he followed that boy to the end of the Earth without even moderate complaining.

Why? Why did he do that? When he volunteered to take that nuke to Melbourne, holding the world hostage, who did he do it for? Did he do it for the love of his best friend, the man he'd known from childhood? Or ... his grandparents brought him up religious. Did he do it for his prophet, the voice of God? Was G— one of the first to worship John, even before the first bomb fell?

3 y/o Damian: *pats Jason's head *

LoA's Jason, with a soft smile : What's up, bǎobèi?

3 y/o Damian, while still patting him : I'm trying to wake up the skunk in your head.

LoA's Jason, squeezing Damian's cheeks with a bitter smile : xiǎo shǐ...

I started a modern AU Old Guard fic in Feb 2021 in which, a few chapters in, Nicky starts learning Arabic on Duolingo.

'You know what,' I thought, naively, 'I'll just do the first few lessons myself so I can use some of the sillier sentences from it in the fic.'

Just under 3 years later, I have just completed all levels of Duolingo Arabic on Legendary. The fic, while nudging at 100k words, is still not finished. I believe there is one brief reference to Duolingo in it.

It's a bloody hard won reference though.

Forgive me if I loved you so violently and so madly, for violence is my weapon to write and my weapon when I love. And madness is the last gold ring I place on your fingers.

Surprised to See Me?

I like to think that Jason sees Talia and Damian as ohana. But at the same time, Talia's like one of those Asian moms. So, Jason's also mildly intimidated by Talia.

Talia: Ya qalby! I'm so glad to see you! :D

Jason: *Violent flashbacks to the Talia's missile-aiming sandals*

In Arabic we don’t say “good bye” we say “فِي أَمَانِ اللّٰه ” which translates “I leave you in the care of Allah” and i think that’s beautiful.

• Palestinian literature recommendations - small books with a big impact •

Here’s a few recommendations for short reads. If you’re looking for small books to help you reach your reading goal before the end of the year or for when you need a shorter read to suit your time, these are all fairly quick reads but very impactful.

All Palestinian literature. Most of these recommendations are short story collections and mostly translated from Arabic. They each show the different ways the Israeli occupation has affected Palestinians. From the start of the Nakba, to the blockaded Gaza Strip, to Palestinians refugees in the diaspora.

* Shatila Stories published by Peirene Press, nine contributors (Palestinian and Syrian): Omar Khaled Ahmad, Nibal AlAlow, Safa Khaled Algharbawi, Omar Abdellatif Alndaf, Rayan Mohamad Sukkar, Safiya Badran, Fatima Omar Ghazawi, Samih Mahmoud, Hiba Mareb. Translated by Nashwa Gowanlock

* Men in the Sun and Other Palestinian Stories by Ghassan Kanafani, translated by Hilary Kilpatrick

* The Sea Cloak and Other Stories by Nayrouz Qarmout, translated by Perween Richards

* Minor Detail by Adania Shibli, translated by Elisabeth Jaquette

* The Book of Ramallah edited by Maya Abu Al-Hayat, various translators

Have you read any of these? Are there others any you would add to the list or recommend me to read? The Book of Gaza is one I have on my radar that I want to read at some point.

Kate Kane and Bruce Wayne are sitting in the living room. Kate Kane is spray painting a desk with a splatter design she's bringing back to her place. Bruce is reading a book about depression.

Bruce: Can you not stain my floor?

Kate nods, shakes the spray can and aims the spray nozzle directly can at the wood floor then returns to spraying the desk.

Kate: Damn thing got jammed. Whoops.

Bruce, exhausted: I shouldn't have even said anything.

Kate lowers her face mask.

Kate: Cuzzo, I forgot to tell you one last thing about the bat-

Bruce: Bar Mitzvah.

Kate: Yeah that, so Damien asked me about the trip we were going to. I remembered you never told him about it. I made the right decision... I told him about everything. He wants to go, so again doing the right thing and to respect your wishes, said he can go as long as you both agree. That's how Talia was brought into the mix.

Bruce Wayne, focusing on the book, but his left leg shaking with rage.

Bruce: How did you happen to bring her into this?

Kate: I asked Damien for her number and informed her about the entire event. Man that lady is hot when she's angry. She should be calling in about a minute. She probably won't be that mad... Don't worry about it.

Kate lifts her face mask back to her mouth and returns to her splatter spray paint project. Bruce let's out a long sigh right when his cell phone rings. He slaps the book to his face.

Kate: She's going to keep calling.

Bruce: I... Am aware.

Bruce reluctantly answers the phone.

Bruce: Hel-

Talia (on the phone): You himar! How dare you, ya 'ayuha alwaghad!

Bruce: Hey, I can let the jackass insult slide-

Kate: Cause it's true.

Bruce: Shut up! I will not excuse calling me a bastard!

Talia: Oh I'm so sorry it's just that I was told that you were going to a bar mitzvah and you won't bring Damien! Nope! Nope! You will not deprive our sweet son the enjoyment of meeting extended family or learning his Jewish heritage!

Bruce: Neither of us are practicing Judaism!

Talia: Doesn't mean he can't learn about it! I don't agree with a lot that my father does, but Dami deserves to learn about our heritage and the same goes for you! Has he even had his own Bar Mitzvah?

Bruce: No because he's not 13 and we're not JEWISH!

Kate: You are, Cuzzo.

Bruce: Practicing! We're not practicing!

Kate: Calm down, you're schvitzing.

Talia: Bruce Wayne, you better take that our tifl saghir latif that I spent 12 hours pushing out of my almihbal, to that party or I will wreck havoc on you! You understand me? I have people who can make you inconvenience you at every turn. Missing items, flat tires, dates with the Cat lady Take him to the bar mitzvah! NOW!

Ra Al Ghul in the background: That's my girl!

Kate: You tell him Talia! You tell him!

Talia: Tell your sister I said thank you!

Bruce: She's not my fucking sister! I will take him! GOD!

Bruce ends the call and storms as Kate chuckles softly.

Kate: His embarrassment brings me constant joy. Thank you whatever God hears me for that man.
