Leaves crunch and twigs snap as Jason, lead foot and tired, stomps back to their little campsite with his bag of sad looking tatos, onions, and herbs.
(Herbs were the real hot commodity in the Commonwealth, the only people who still had em after the war were the Vaults. Well except for rosemary.... and mint. Like radroaches those weeds.)
Jason was about 75% certain that the lady at the market stand had upcharged him for his handsome mug.
Fucking assholes. This was why he didn't leave Goodneighbor for too long.
His charge was still where Jason had left him, sitting prim and proper in the makeshift camp Jason had set up before he left.
As he approached, Damian glanced up sharply, his hand outstretched with a piece of jerky no doubt stolen from Jason's pack. He was feeding it to a-
Jason stops in his tracks.
No fucking way.
"Brat that better not be what I think it is."
"I wasn't aware that you had enough brain cells left to think Todd."
"That's a fucking baby deathclaw."
Indeed it was, about the size of a medium dog with claws the same length as it's head. The little ball of tanky lizard destruction took Damian's distraction as an opportunity to snatch the jerky out of his hand.
"This is Humphrey, I hatched her myself."
".....What?"
"Hatched her, do keep up Todd."
"How long have you had her?" Jason tries to run the rough math on how long deathclaws incubate eggs for a runs into the brick wall that is the terror that Damian just stole a deathclaw egg from presumably a deathclaw mother.
The fact that Damian was anywhere near a position to be in the vicinity of a deathclaw mother meant Talia was going to kill him stone dead. For good this time.
"Three weeks," Damian reports in a clipped tone. He says this while petting the tiny creature that Jason has no doubt in his mind could rip them both to shreds in seconds.
Jason had lost more than a few traveling companions to the claws of a pissed lizard, they're the kind of animal that just gets mad when you shoot it.
But this was also Damian, the twerp had some sort of uncanny nack for getting the creepy crawlies of the Commonwealth to listen to him.
Fucking damnit.
"Fine, but you're explaining this to your mother."
"Acceptable," Damian sniffs, holding out a hand to shake.
Jason, despite himself, takes it.

Rhaenyra and Jace parallel each other so much, I think if she had won history would have repeated itself with Jace's succession. They remind me of Arya and Jon's conversation about girls and bastards. Rhaenyra and Jace have one thing the other craves, she is trueborn and he is male. But she is a woman and he is a bastard so ultimately they face quite similar.
yes yes, i think it's interesting because as you say, they're both "outsiders" and by their very nature, they have a lot in common but because they don't quite have enough in coming, they never see eye to eye. i actually think a better comparison is jon and theon - jon and arya always see eye to eye and imo, both jon and arya understand well enough (even if they don't have the language for it) how being a woman and being a bastard work in different ways to marginalize them both, and i think they even have a bit of an understanding that a female bastard is going to be sexualized in a very different way than a noble born woman or a bastard boy.
but jon and theon, as far as we've seen them, are just incapable of seeing eye to eye. even though they are both part of an "out group" the other has what each boy desperately wants: jon has stark blood and theon has a noble name. jon has love and theon has status. they both see the other's faults intimately well but never take that nexxt step into realizing their faults are very similar. rhaenyra has the targaryen name, but jacaerys is a man. and because she's trueborn, she's incapable of seeing the position she's put jace in. but because he's a man, jace is incapable of seeing the situation rhaenyra was put in. they're in the same chapter but they're on a different page. not quite aligned and it makes all the world of difference.

I keep thinking about the Sports Festival in the khr mha crossover and I’m trying to decide who would win because the obvious choice is Hibari but it’s also incredibly in Hibari’s character to say fuck the race and decide to beat the shit out of the giant robots instead… basically either option of him breaking Bakugou’s ass or getting disqualified in the first round because he wanted to beat the robot’s ass is equally funny to me.
But beyond who wins the tenth Gen and go would bring so much chaos.
Spanner and Shoichi just flying to the end on a Moska. Tsuna diving down to give Izuku a lift over the chasm because good god that can’t be safe. The cavalry battle would be unhinged. Not to mention the 1 on 1 fights.

IT'S GOTTA BE..... BUT AT THE SAME TIME..... this manga DOES have really weird writing. like they have this habit of just COMPLETELY disregarding canon. like some may think my blog is quite canon divergent, but this manga fucking threw canon out the window and made up shit with no elaboration.
LIKE????? NO?????? heihachi believed kazuya to be DEAD. 'cos y'know... heihachi threw him in a volcano himself. he just wanted to use jin as a tool to get to ogre. that's why, y'know, he KILLED JIN in the end...
this manga is like a fever dream but it's a nightmare.
