10 Beautiful Places To Visit In Jordan

[puppetmaster13u]

Prompt 74

When a new black-haired blue-eyed person appeared in the manor, one could easily be forgiven for thinking that Bruce’s adoption problem had struck again. So color many a batkid surprised that no, this kid isn’t a new sibling, no he didn’t get grabbed from the street, and actually he’s here for Alfred. Apparently Alfred never found it important to mentioned that he has a husband- that the kid kind of implies isn’t human what with the casual way he says he himself is half human- and that this kid is apparently their child. For once it’s Bruce’s turn to come home to a surprise sibling. 

Danny on the other hand just learned that his Clockpa has a semi-mortal partner who has offered to take him in, (in another dimension even! And there’s aliens!!) while the ancient takes care of some stuff at home. And yeah it’s in a rich-manor but Sam has proved that not all rich people are evil, and based off of Mr Pennyworth’s stories the Waynes weren’t bad either. Though based off of the others’ reactions perhaps he should wait to mention that there wasn’t one new family member but three…

Scrolling through AO3 and saw something I wasn't expecting: Hal and Jason fics. And usually, the Jason Todd-ification of DC fandom is not my cup of tea. But. There's an interesting concept there. Just not one I've ever personally seen addressed.

And that's:

Hal actually fucking did it.

Every single thing Jason fantasized about at the height of his wrath? Hal actually did it. Hal killed his mentor and his tormentor, Sinestro, with his own hands. And he decimated the friends that didn't stop his tragedy, killed the comrades that didn't care for his grief, and reduced his all-mighty masters to nothing. He actually ripped Henshaw to shreds.

Hal is the dog that bit back. The dog that not only bit the hand that fed, but went for the throat next.

Hal is the League member that went bad. There's many parallels there to Jason's narrative, should one want to look for them.

Moreover, Hal's pain became a palpable, all-consuming thing that devoured everything. Hal's tragedy, his grief and his rage and his pain, was so great it caused a literal Crisis (the second crisis ever! Out of only seven!), tore reality apart, erased entire timelines. It had long-lasting effects on the entire universe for years to come. (On a more personal note for Jason: It hurt Batman. On a deep, psychological level.)

It mattered.

But it also did not help. It didn't make Hal feel better. It didn't fix anything, despite how desperately Hal believed it would. It, in fact, made everything worse. Hal regretted all of it.

And I think Jason Todd reckoning with that tale would actually be a genuinely interesting way to explore his character.

I'm not caught up enough to know whether these two characters have ever interacted in canon, but I think I'm well-read enough to say: probably not. And if they did, probably only superficially.

But I think there is room for a very interesting conversation between these two characters.

Hal being basically the embodiment of Vengeance for a time is also an interesting element, if the timelines were shifted around so that Jason crawled out the grave before Hal's rebirth. Like. There's a foundation for one hell of an interesting dynamic here.

Today's 'amazing character concept we hear almost nothing about' minor WoT character is Aisling Noon, a Tuatha'an woman who chooses the Green Ajah and becomes an advisor to the King of Shienar. (She's also one of the sisters captured at the Black Tower.) What kind of journey did SHE go on between being taken to the Tower and choosing the Battle Ajah??? There's a story there!

Also: imagine if she had been one of the Aes Sedai who ended up with Perrin's forces & therefore around Aram...

Just reading some comics and saw a panel I thought you might like. :)

ah fuck, characters reminiscing always get to me ;__;

but i will never ever get over that fond way these two talk to and abt each other. especially when they’re poking fun, you can just hear the love in their voice it’s SICK.

the halbarry love language is annoying each other, but even more than that, it’s being each other’s exceptions

Prompt 166

So Danny is going to blame this on Vlad. Everything was going great, his parents had accepted him, Ellie is home for a while as was Jazz, Vlad was going to ghost-therapy along with Jordan to both get over apparently very bad obsession-sickness, and it was finally summer break! Which meant camping, and no ghost stuff for the first time in forever. 

He should have known everything was going too well, because that’s just the Fenton luck isn’t it? So he was going to blame this entire thing on Vlad, even if it might maybe be his own fault just a little bit. But how was he supposed to know the glowing rock formation that looked sort of like a portal was actually going to do something?! 

Urgh, he’s not going to deal with dimension travel, he already has to deal with time bullshit thanks to his peepaw! At least they’re all in this together and haven’t gotten separated? Ugh. This is going to be annoying.

Hal's Childhood

I was thinking a bit about Hal's childhood and thought that the poor kid must have really been alone for most of it and worse, it is very likely that he grew up being considered a problem child or a bad son. The classic kid that parents set a bad example for or that teachers complain about at every family meeting, but that no one goes out of their way to understand or help. I think about how terribly lonely and frustrated his childhood must have been. Being labeled as a problem child that no one (not even his family) wants to engage with. Then his growth spurt, he has to stop being a child before everyone else and it's not because he wants to but because his terrible family situation forces him to do so. So he grows faster than average, but it is not because he wants to but because his bad family situation pushes him to become independent and responsible for himself even though he denies that he is. So as he grows older, his self-image worsens, although he is never willing to accept it. He sees himself as stupid, irresponsible and gross, so since that's all people expect of him, that's all he gives them. No one sees beyond that and neither does he. When people give up on him and end up leaving him he justifies them, he doesn't like them, but he understands them.

Who would stay with someone like him for too long? He has nothing to offer them.

Then everything changes until Barry arrives, who is the first person to genuinely believe in him without expecting anything in return. He thinks he's cool and nice despite him going out of his way to prove otherwise and then Barry calls him 'Pretty Intelligent and there's something inside him that rebuilds and heals. It had never healed until then. And then Barry dies and he's left alone again, he feels abandoned again.

The first person who finally showed a sincere interest in him abandons him and he can't help but feel angry at Barry for leaving him alone when he promised not to leave him alone. But he also feels guilty and sad, he feels as if everything around him is gone because he will never be enough and so he dies and keeps thinking that he is still the troubled kid his teachers hated because of his restlessness and bad grades. When he revives that thought haunts him and when he meets Barry for the first time he can't help but feel upset, but he doesn't stay mad at Barry for too long, because Barry is still that weak spot he knows he has, but will never admit why he is too proud. And when he revives he comes back to Barry because he reminds him that maybe you do deserve to feel loved and supported, that maybe at the end of the day someone as pathetic as him could have someone.
