#catalina: event

[clarissaweasley-10]

Imagine Gray calling a 911 meeting right after he and Lyra kissed. And then when they all have assembled, he just blurts out something like "I like Lyra Kane and we just kissed"(full stop.) All hell breaks loose with the rest already planning how their (Gray and Lyra's) wedding's gonna be like, the name of their kids and ofc teasing lil Gray bear for finally getting a girl...

P.S- Should l make a fanfic on this?

lyragray headcannons

okay!!

LYRA X GRAYSON HEADCANONS:

• once they started dating publicly, so many jewelry stores wanted to do gold vs silver photoshoots on them because they both contrast the colours so well (lyra with gold and gray with silver) + it would give the stores more popularity

• they can both sing very well

• the only time that lyra doesn’t have nightmares about her father shooting himself is when she’s sleeping with grayson <33

• they love going out for coffee dates but also make fun of each others coffee order (lyra believes that black coffee are way too bitter, and grayson believes that lattes are too sweet)

• grayson doesn’t like when anybody plays with his hair, but lets it slide when it’s lyra

• paparazzi have seen them getting back from fancy events/parties with grayson holding her heels and lyra wearing his suit jacket when it gets cold 💗💗 (also he totally picks her up and just carry’s her when she has her heels off tell me im wrong)

• lyra and grayson both have sweet tooth’s but only really for chocolate, so for movie nights they have chocolate desserts

• once they got stuck in a supply’s closet at some event because they wanted to go find a private place to make out, and when oren found them and got them out his brothers + avery made fun of grayson RELENTLESSLY

• not lyra though because she’s too scary (yes they’re scared of lyra but not grayson)

• grayson has started adapting lyra’s sleep routine so instead of him waking up at like 5, he’s started waking up at 6-6:30 instead (which lyra still thinks is so weird since she wakes up at like 8-8:30 every day and even later on weekends)

• but sometimes she refuses to let go of him and makes him stay in bed with her for a little longer, just so she can see him more in the morning

• lyra’s more of a dog person than a cat person whereas grayson’s more of a cat person than a dog person (still they both adore tiramisu)

• speaking of tiramisu, she’s started coming to lyra and graysons bed instead of xanders and xander sees it as betrayal

okay thats all i hope u like it!! 💗

[tarucore]

I’m going to hold your hand when I say this but some of you need to realize that if Devin Grayson used racist stereotypes in Nightwing 1996 writing Dick and Yoska then she was also using racist stereotypes writing Catalina Flores

the concept of an aggressive, sexually predatory Latina is not new, it’s not original, and frankly it’s tiring to see be repeated

acting like the way Catalina was/is portrayed in canon/fanworks is totally divorced from her ethnicity is how we get fics where Dick is triggered by hearing someone speak spanish (not even the specific pet names that Cat used, just spanish in general??!)

and I like Catalina as an antagonist, at least a secondary one, I think the Blockbuster arc has held up well compared to some other runs, I think that Devin is a decent writer with pretty good pacing for comic books which I can appreciate, and shockingly, I’m fine with the rape taking place in canon and the aftermath, as I know that the run was cut short (I’m a dead-dove fan and I’ve always liked any kind of whump, I can see why others don’t though and I understand that)

I also think that fanwriters need to be aware of bigoted source material, and that they don’t need to exacerbate these problems by flattening Catalina into a hypersexual, “crazy Latina” caricature which Devin even didn’t fully do in her run

I promise guys, there is a way to write her that doesn’t lean into stereotypes but still has her doing a terrible thing, I pinky swear

[starlooove]

“There is no fanfic on Stephs treatment I have checked” that’s like the whole point.

[xx-all-purpose-nerd-xx]

That fic had hurt/comfort in the title but Ao3 went down before the comfort.

Tf am I supposed to do now?

[supercool-here]

This is me right now. This has been me since last night. This will be me for the next couple of days

[idol-trickster]

She took a dainty sip from her glass, the taste dry and crisp against her tongue. It was something she thought she would never have again.

Smiling, she caught sight of someone familiar. The mask hid his face, certainly, but no matter what iteration of him it was, she would recognize him easily. The way he moved was as definitive as his smile.

Her fingers curled around his bicep, pressing mouth to his ear.

"Care to dance, mi hiena tramposa?"

~@idol-trickster

@mori-me-oppa

Jiwoon didn't expect to feel the contact, followed by a sultry voice in his ear. A lesser, less confident man may have been startled into a jolt, but the idol only chuckled in surprise, looking over to see the woman clad in black, red, and white. Eyes made contact in the proximity, an interested smile given as he made sure to look over the avian-like mask.

"I didn't before, but with such an invitation, I'm interested in seeing what else you'll do to keep me entertained." A quiet breathy chuckle escaped as he turned to face Catalina as full attention was given; A daunting prospect to have such from the Trickster. Soon, a hand was held out to her in facilitating the offer, the predatory glow of amused eyes behind the smiling mask a sign of foreboding mischief.

[antoniojimenez]

WHERE: County Fair WITH: @linaxmae

While it went without saying that the fair wasn’t quite Antonio’s scene, when it came to his children, the opposite was undoubtedly true. For the last two hours, he’d watched, mesmerized, as the two of them leaned into all the sights and sounds around them, never once taking a single moment of it for granted. It was spectacular, really. And it was in those collection of moments that Antonio knew– he could travel the world over, see every wonder it had to offer, and none of it would ever come close to how he felt as he witnessed his children experience true joy. It was the sort of thing that money couldn’t buy, and it only made him yearn for more moments just like this. But with custody being an uphill climb and his duties with the cartel keeping him busy, he’d take whatever he could get. Arming them both with cotton candy, Antonio started to guide them towards the ferris wheel, only to have them both dart off course and directly at their aunt. Glancing up from the tops of their heads, he met her gaze, and offered up a curt smile. “Lina, hey,” he greeted, giving a small wave. It was no secret that the two of them weren’t as close as they’d once been, and Tony didn’t pretend not to know why. But it was still so strange to him, even now, how flesh and blood could feel so foreign to him. But he knew that was his fault– in the last decade, he’d spent more time abroad than home; inevitably, that created distance, both physical and emotional. “Didn’t expect to see you here,” he mentioned, figuring he’d dive into the small talk, even though he wasn’t particularly good at it. “We were about to head over to the ferris wheel,” he explained, nodding down at his kids, “If you want to join?” In some ways, it was an olive branch– surely, the two of them could put their bullshit aside for a moment, just for the kids. “They might even share some cotton candy with you.”

[pearlwestbrook]

location: in the greenhouse at the botanical gardens for: @cursivequiet

Tucked away in a corner behind a couple of large plants, Pearl had only taken a couple hits from her joint before someone came around the corner. She was half a second from throwing it in the dirt when she realized she recognized the face, and though it wasn't one she particularly wanted to see, it was still better than some stranger with a kid.

"Oh," she said tonelessly, lifting the joint again to her lips. "You. I'll share if you can not be annoying for five minutes."

[sohannabarberaesque]

You'll never guess what Peter Potamus just came up with in partnership with the Catalina Diving Clowder

Out Avalon way, on no less than The Magic Isle (and during somewhat slack times for the tourist trade more than anything, aside from the annual Avalon Harbour Underwater Cleanup), there's a new and potentially emerging tradition about to ensue.

No less than the Catalina Diver's Story Slam, devised and developed with much consultation between the Catalina Diving Clowder and the Ambassador for Diving among the Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera, no less than Peter Potamus. And, at least for the nonce, in a small-time venue in Beautiful Downtown Avalon, let alone the Casino (that being ruled out for the sake of testing audience response before considering same).

While it may not be The Moth exactly, the Catalina Diver's Story Slam can expect to have plenty of intimacy when it comes to divers of all stripes sharing tales of diving and the dive experience in any and all manner of conditions, snorkelling to SCUBA to rebreather--perhaps with at least one tale of a mermaid encounter or even one involving a dolphin-assisted rescue of a stranded diver.

And you have to wonder how many abalone dives off Catalina Peter Potamus and the Clowder went through to come up with the nuclei of the slam!

Classic Buffet for Wedding Special - Catalina Room, Marina Village

A frequent pitfall of wedding buffets, however, is that they can be unattractive.

Congratulations!

A book similar to inheritance games:🎃

☕️: Academic rival jameson hawthorne fic.

🍂: A double date (lyra x Grayson) + (Avery x jameson )

thank you!!

for 🎃, im sure you’ve probably heard this before, but the naturals by jennifer lynn barnes. the plot isn’t exactly the same as it’s about a young group in the fbi called “the naturals” but it’s similar in ways like them solving things like the inheritance games. it’s more similar character wise though, as a lot of characters are very much like the ones in the inheritance games. there’s also the found family trope of ur into that, and also a similar love triangle!!

there’s also another book, called “heiress takes all”, and it’s said to be very similar to the inheritance games and oceans 11. i don’t know what it’s about much, (as i haven’t read it) but im sure if you search it up on amazon or goodreads you should be able to read the blurb!!

for ☕️, im assuming that u mean an au and im so sorry but i am TERRIBLE at writing au’s 😭😭 im also really bad at writing *character* x reader but i can still try and write those, where as au’s are just so hard for me 😭😭 im so sorry but if u want something else done feel free to request it again!!

for 🍂, sure!!

LYRA X GRAY + AVERY X JAMESON DOUBLE DATE HEAD CANONS:

• lyra and grayson show up a bit late (nothing extreme, just like 5-10 minutes) which surprised both avery and jameson because grayson is never late

• they found out after that it was because lyra wanted to match with grayson last minute and scrapped her whole outfit to match with his ☠️☠️

• they would probably go to a restaurant first, and then maybe go to a second location

• it started with small talk about their lives and days, but then slowly it turned into jameson and grayson seeing who can embarrass each other more by telling humiliating stories about each other from their childhoods 😭💀

• as soon as jameson reached the leather pants story though, grayson switched the topic and stopped with the whole competition

• lyra was curious but left it alone… for now. 😈

• lyra ordered a pasta, grayson ordered a steak, avery ordered fancy fish?? (idfk what they serve at fancy restaurants just think of the most expensive and tasty fish u can buy 💀🙏) and jameson ordered… chicken wings ☠️☠️

• lyra made fun of him for it and then jameson told grayson to break up with her

• in fact, lyra ends up making fun of him the whole night 💀

jameson to the waiter: “can i have some chicken wings please?”

jameson, once the waiter walks away: “I haven’t had chicken wings 3 months!”

lyra, snickering: “you look like you’ve had enough chicken wings for 3 months”

jameson gives her a wounded look and rolls his eyes, turning to grayson: “she’s mean, you should break up with her”

grayson, before he can even finish speaking: “no.”

later again that dinner…

avery: “should we get another side for seconds?”

grayson and lyra shake their heads, but jameson speaks: “can i get one? im still hungry.”

noticing grayson’s raised brow, he sighed: “don’t give me that look. matter of fact, i skipped lunch today!”

lyra, giggling again and muttering in a voice that jameson could just hear: “doesn’t look like it…”

jameson: “LYRA SHUT UP!!”

people ended up staring and as soon as the date was over and they were back at the house grayson called a beat down (just to give him an excuse to beat him up ☠️☠️🙏)

• once they do get back to the house though and grayson and jameson are done fighting, they watch a movie and jameson is secretly side eyeing grayson and lyra the whole time LMAOO

• lyra and avery end up sitting next to each other on the couch with grayson and jameson on the other side and, in whispers, gossip about them

• the boys can’t hear what they’re saying but spend more time trying to listen and hear what they’re talking about then actually watching the movie

• once they’re finished watching the movie, (and by watching the movie i mean lyra and avery gossiping while jameson and grayson try to secretly listen to them) lyra feels bad about all her fat jokes so she slips jameson a packet of gummies with a sorry note attached to them

• the gummies were from xander’s not-so-secret stash and now he officially has a fued with lyra but at least now jameson is going back to liking her 😊😊 (one hawthorne at a time people 😪😪)

THATS ALL I HOPE U LIKED THEM!! 🫶 (and im sorry again about not being able to do the ☕️ one, if you have another one u want me to do thats not about an au just lmk pls 😭)

Danny is Nightwings Son(Angst)

@ Two of my favorite creators @wolfsrainrules and @wolfjackle-creates

While in jail for the murder of Blockbuster, it is discovered that Catalina Flores(Tarantula) is pregnant. Even though it was only once, it only takes once. Due to the length of her sentence, the baby is put up for a closed adoption and is taken in by the Fentons. They raise Daniel as their own, and he looks enough like them, with his black hair and blue eyes, that no one questions it. Even though his unruly hair is too curly, his nose is too strong, and his skin darkens under the midwest sun to a shade none of his 'parents' have in their families.

Unfortunately, Vlad finds out about this when he tries to use Jack and Maddie's DNA to make Danny from scratch. Vlad is furious. His whole focus is on Maddie. On his need to not be the only one of his kind. And while Danny is still a halfa, he is not Maddie's son. He's now flipping between trying to kill Danny and trying to steal custody to make Danny his son and no one else's. During these events Danny's halfa status is revealed along with the fact that he's adopted. When Danny finds out he, Tuck, and Sam hack into his records and find his birth mom. Finding out his mom is a murderer is not something Danny ever wanted to know, but he does now and he flees to Bludhaven, the location of Nightwing, to ask him about his mom and hopefully find out who his Dad might be.

I don't have a lot more for this scenario, but Nightwing does not take being confronted by his son, conceived through rape after 14 years, very well.

LADIES FIRST ⤵ GRAYSON HAWTHORNE X LYRA KANE

ABOUT: 1306 words

STORY: grayson and lyra get a little distracted on their way to a formal event

WARNINGS: uhh i mean its grayson and lyra so i guess kinda suggestive but like its fine

requested by @maybxlle <33

A/N: they're such a hot couple im gonna cry

Grayson stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his tie for what felt like the hundredth time. It didn’t really need to be fixed, he’d done it right the first time, but he had nothing better to do as he waited. The hotel room they were sharing was small; despite Grayson obviously being a Hawthorne, they hadn’t gotten a fancy room. Just a simple one with a bed, a bathroom, and a closet.

That was mostly insistence from Lyra. 

He forced his hands down to his side as his eyes focused behind him in the mirror. The bathroom door was closed, and had been closed for the past hour. “Lyra,” Grayson finally called. “How much longer are you going to take?”

“You can’t rush perfection,” her muffled voice responded through the door. 

“You’re always perfect. I don’t see why you need to put in all this effort.”

“Flattery isn’t going to hurry me, Gray,” she sang.

Grayson sighed. He turned around and walked away from the mirror and towards the door. When he checked the time on his watch, it read 5:30 PM. “It starts at six.”

“I know,” Lyra said. “It’s a five minute drive. We’re fine.”

“I have to get there early,” he told her, growing more impatient. “Avery asked if I could give a few words before it starts.”

“What? Why you?”

He laughed, a sound that very few people got to hear. “You wound me.”

“Want me to kiss you better?”

“You can’t kiss me through a closed door.”

She didn’t respond.

“Lyra,” Grayson repeated, his tone growing serious. But there was a smile on his face despite himself. “I’m about five minutes away from going in there and carrying you out.”

“Five minutes?” She echoed. “I’m going to need at least six.”

“You’re impossible.”

“And you love it.”

He didn’t argue with that. 

Instead, he stepped closer to the bathroom door and hesitated for only a second, his hand hovering over the handle of the door. But then he opened it, willing to deal with whatever complaints he got from Lyra. 

But the moment he opened the door, Grayson froze. 

Lyra was standing in front of the mirror, doing the last touches of her makeup. He didn’t really know what she was doing, what brush did what, any of that, but it didn’t matter. He could only stare at her in awe, enchantment, adoration, in love as she applied her lipstick, paying him no mind.

The dress she wore was a deep red that hugged her curves in all the right places. It had a small slit on the bottom that stopped just at the top of her leg, just before it revealed too much. 

Her hair was styled perfectly, falling down past her shoulders with such grace that he wondered if she was real. The lipstick she’d just finished applying was a matching shade of red to the dress, and the rest of her makeup only made her even more stunning. 

Grayson found himself unable to look away. 

He could only stare. No words managed to escape him. No praises, no compliments. Just the way his eyes traveled her up and down, like taking her in for the very first time.

Lyra put the lid on her lipstick and turned to him, a grin making its way onto her face when he saw him.

“Did I manage to make the Grayson Davenport Hawthorne speechless?”

Grayson blinked a few times, struggling to find his voice. Speechless he certainly was. 

“You always do, Lyra Catalina Kane.”

Her smile widened. “I am honored to have that power. Now since you forced your way in here, could you please help?” She asked, turning around so he could see the back of her dress, where the zipper was only halfway done. He nodded.

There was a moment where they stood in silence, intimately close to each other, his hand pulling the zipper.

“Zip it up, Grayson.”

“Yes ma’am.”

Once the dress was zipped up, Grayson let his fingers stay on the small of her back. They stilled there for a moment before his hand slid up to her neck. He leaned forward, pressing his chest against his back.

“You know,” he whispered in her ear. “This dress doesn’t leave much to the imagination.”

Lyra laughed, turning around to face him properly. “Is that a problem?”

“Depends on who’s looking.” His hand found her leg, slowly making its way up it.

“Don’t worry, Grayson,” she told him, leaning into his touch. “I’m not dressing up for anyone but you.”

He nodded dumbly as his hand wandered its way under the bottom of he dress. “Mhm.” 

Lyra took in a sharp breath.

“If you keep this up-”

Grayson interrupted her by pressing a kiss to her neck.

He felt her shiver underneath his touch. The kiss was slow at first, letting his mouth linger for a moment, feeling her warmth and being able to smell her sweet perfume. 

Lyra’s breath caught, her eyes fluttering shut as she leaned towards him. Her hands gripped the bottom of his suit jacket, careful not to undo the effort he’d put into his outfit. Still, she held onto him like he was the only thing keeping her steady.

Grayson’s hand paused just under the fabric of her dress, knowing they couldn’t take it too far. 

Not yet.

He placed another kiss right under her ear, his breath hot against her skin. “If I keep this up then what, sweetheart?”

She swallowed hard. “Then we might be late.”

Grayson chuckled before he leaned back just a bit, locking his eyes with hers. “And would that be such a bad thing?”

“Depends on what you have in mind instead.”

Without breaking eye contact, Grayson tilted her chin up to further face him. He then closed his eyes and closed what little space was left between them as their lips connected. 

Lyra responded eagerly, moving with equal intensity. The kiss deepened as they leaned impossibly closer to each other, as if trying to merge into one. Her hands made their way up to his shoulders, pulling him even more towards her. His hand found the back of her neck, slowly so as to not ruin her hair. 

When they finally broke apart, after what felt like a million years, they were both breathless, their faces flush. 

“We should probably get going,” Grayson said, his voice unintentionally deep. He cleared his throat. “Jameson will question us if we’re late.”

“As if he doesn’t always.”

Grayson watched as Lyra collected her things from the counter, hastily tossed it into her handbag, and pointed to her shoes on the floor. High heels that would take more time than they had to put on.

“It’s fine,” she said as she went to pick them up. “I'll put them on during the drive there. Let’s go. Can’t have you being late.”

But Grayson was there in a heartbeat, snatching the heels from the floor. Without a word, he slipped off his own shoes. 

“Gray, I love that you’re trying to be gentlemanly, but it’s just a walk downstairs-”

“Wear my shoes or I’ll carry you.”

Lyra paused for a moment, as if considering her options. With a defeated sigh, she stepped into his clearly oversized shoes. “Better?” She asked. “Now that I look like a clown?”

Grayson shook his head, smiling.

“Not a clown. A queen.”

“I can’t with you,” she said, laughing despite herself. “Okay, let’s go.”

Grayson led her out the bathroom door. He checked that they had all their belongings, and then checked his watch. 5:46. He’d have no time to practice his speech before giving it, how wonderful. 

He didn’t mind, though. It was worth it. 

For Lyra.

He opened the door with one hand, holding her shoes in the other.

“Ladies first.”
