quick question, in a post you've said that as oracle, babs has mentored 4 teen heroes. the only characters i'm familiar with her mentoring are cass and steph, who're the 2 others?? :00
Tumblr media
Officially speaking, I was talking about Cass and Steph plus Charlie Gage-Radcliffe/Misfit (who Babs mentored in the back half of Gail Simone's Birds of Prey run) and Wendy Harris/Proxy (who Babs mentored over the course of the Oracle: The Cure mini and Steph's Batgirl run):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unofficially, she also lowkey mentored Lori Zechlin/Black Alice (briefly, in Birds of Prey) and Tim Drake (throughout the 90s and early 2000s):

dickbabs are the kind of best friends that dated when they were kids before realizing they work WAY better as friends and evolving into a sibling-like relationship where they cringe and fake-gag whenever someone brings up the fact that they dated
tim: hey remember when you two dated-
dick & babs: 🤢
babs, glaring: we dont speak of that dark time, timothy.
dick, in tears: how could you bring that up baby bird? i trusted you 💔
babs: see, look what you did. you monster.
tim: jeez okay, sorry. you guys are so dramatic.
dick & babs: *high-five as he walks away*

While technically goddy is not a word gaudy with the same pronunciation has the meaning of so extra it’s tacky so might have used a real word and Apollo just assumed she was making up a word

Ravenclaws are the most underrated house. Gryffindors are super popular, whether you like them or not Slytherins get a lot of recognition, and a Hufflepuff competed in a huge tournament and died (basically the reason for the plot of Order of the Phoenix). What do you think?
Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs are both pretty underrated
But I agree with all of this
Gryfindors, I love them but they're terribly overrated
HUFFLEPUFFS AND RAVENCLAWS DESERVE BETTER

Supremacy. Art by Maria Surducan, from Timemongers.
UPRIGHT: war, abuse, injustice
REVERSED: patriotism, nationalism
THE STORY: There are no good readings for the Supremacy card. It was also the most difficult to draw and name, and the last one to be finished. Conceived initially as the ”war” card, it was then called ”control”, but it never seemed to achieve the desired results in focus groups (…a very pretentious way of saying ”the message was not clear enough”). While senseless violence and the fight for dominance was always been a part in human history, its re-emergence in Europe (in the context of 2022 Russia’s attack of Ukraine) provided a sobering experience in the context of the ”Visions of Tomorrow” project.

An altar for Elain Archeron.
This also serves as a multishipper-friendly space. I enjoy and create content for most ACOTAR characters. Appropriate tags are used, please don’t join unless you are prepared to see content regarding various pairings. I don’t believe in supremacy. Be kind please.
Original work below the cut.
Elain x Azriel
Tumblr media
What Bloomed in the Darkgarden 42 chapters, Canon-Compliant, Slow Burn, Explicit.
Elain Archeron is not the trembling fawn everyone believes her to be. Years after Hybern’s war, she feels an awakening of power within herself. She soon begins mastering the art of Sight under the guidance of the lost Oracle of the Day Court. All the while waging an inevitable war of passion with a holy mess of a shadow-wreathed male who looks at her with all the longing in the world. And so perhaps a little more softly, a little more lethally, Elain begins her journey down the path unknown. For there’s something blooming within her- something softer, darker, and wilder than she can name, reaching for the song of the Void.
Elain x Lucien
Tumblr media
In Fading Hush of Eden Lost 12 Chapters, Canon-Compliant, Slow Burn, Explicit.
Elain Archeron takes up residence in an empty cottage in the highlands of the Day Court to study native plants. Lucien Vanserra is stepping into his role as a future High Lord in the city nearby, and visits her once a week to bring her provisions. Thus in the soft, desperate, hushed winds of summer’s end, what was once lost between them becomes found.
Viviane x Kallias
Tumblr media
Upon A Midnight Clear 7 Chapters, Canon-Compliant, Friends to Lovers, Slow Burn, Explicit.
There was loss. There was war. There was ruin. But before it all, there was him. And Viviane would freeze over the burning heart of hell itself to keep him from harm. To hold him close. To bring him home.
Lady of Autumn x Helion

She had a name. Not that anyone in the room was using it. But she had a name.

14. And Satan said, Display this brand, and your loyalty, and you may feast beside me, and you may rejoice in the decadent weeping of angels!
15. We shall consume the pilfered fruits of Eden, who's loam lies marred in blood, and whose fields burn with our illustrious fires.
16. And from the nectar of those fruits, we shall further the supremacy of Hell, attaining power and sagacity to which we were forbidden.
17. You may receive the gilded visions of oracles, and gods stripped of light - you may reap wisdom and the inchor of transcendent knowledge.
18. You may receive immortality, and an eternal place amongst my kingdom - you may never know the ails of flesh, nor death's covetousness.
The book of Kings
the Second Doctrine of Satan Called Dominion

So, anyone who believes our FL is the unknowing reincarnation of Cang Hai, the ruler of Moluo and the lover memory of whom Chu Kong lost, raise your hands. That's everyone, right?
OK, so we first hear of our ML as some sort of big wig God of War who's been in seclusion to recuperate after his big battle with ruler of Moluo, Cang Hai.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Apparently that battle was so fierce, he not only lost half his primordial spirit, but his memories about the battle and surrounding events were wiped out. FISHY FISHY FISHY n1.
We then soon learn that Cang Hai was apparently a wise and popular ruler and leader of the six realms but ooops, an oracle said she's go evil and have to be offed. How convenient. Goodbye Moluo realm, welcome supremacy of current heavenly realm.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then Cang Hai somehow (via means unspecified and for reasons unspecified except "prophecy") went evil and how nice, God of War (and brother of current heaven ruler, hmmmm) Chu Kong appeared to defeat her. Fishy n2 swims to join fishy n1.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I remember LBFAD where the fairies kept telling the glorious story of their victory over the evil Dongfang Qingcang who led people who had the temerity to object to fairies conquering them. Hmmm, anyone is getting the same feeling?
It's pretty clear something way different went down there because not only is it clear Chu Kong has forgotten the battle, his shady royal brother remembers stuff he does not. He is VERY curious why his brother is willing to do love tribulations due to the fact that apparently CK is averse to any sort of romance for 30K years (which is telling in and of itself since that's the length of time Cang Hai has been dead.) Also, brother's reaction when Chu Kong confidently proclaims he can take evil evil Cang Hai down the battle with whom he does not remember but is sure had it coming is shadier than a giant maple forest. Fishy n3 swims to join the group.
Tumblr media
Then there is the last surviving royal of whatever who's been haunted by his whatever to CH and keeps thinking she will be resurrected and goes spare when he sees our marriage fairy and flashes back to CH who looks exactly the same.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The prince dude plain text tells him that the woman he's pining for 30K years is someone Chu Kong met and lost memory of.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the way he asks this, it's very clear that the official story is way way way off in a way he'd probably find huge to know:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Welcome Fishy n4.
Oh, and then Chu Kong sees FL on the bridge and gets an epic headache and begins remember vague flashes which are CLEARLY CLEARLY on above evidence with Cang Hai and it is one 100% clear that they were in love and whatever way that battle went, it did not go the way the official narrative says since we see him running after her in wedding clothes and holding her hand trying to prevent her from falling off a cliff Wei Wuxian style.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And now with 5 fishies we have a fish school and can dismiss the class.
PS Here is more evidence.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway, this is very different from the novel in the framing story so I am vvvv curious what they are doing with this.

I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ON EPISODE 3.. (SPOILERS AHEAD)
If the song “on the same boat” was 24 minutes long
AAAAAHHHH IT WAS SO GOOOOOOOD
hI i’M pErCy
why did i expect the oracle to sing like she did in the musical an not talk (tho you gotta admit this prophecy didn’t hit as hard as “AND YOU SHALL FAAAAAAAIIIILL (*FAILLLLLLLL*) TO SAVE WHAT MATTERS MOST IIIIINNNNNN THHHHEEEEE EEEENNNDD”)
“Annabeth” he knows what he wants what he really really wants and also chiron’s face
The parallels to cotg with the whole pushing down stairs thing…oh i love it so much AND THE PARALLELS
Percy choosing annabeth only because luke trusts her *slams head into wall*
also, the cgi was so cool for the shoes. Also i didnt know maia was pronounced ‘maya’ and not ‘ma-yee-ah’
i9
I love the dynamic between the trio this episode. In the books it was only really grover-percy and percy-annabeth (duh) i love the inclusion of grover-annabeth
The whole episode was just percy touching upon very touchy topics and me going euuughhogreaksl seeing annabeth and grover’s face LIKE STOP TALKING NOW!
I like that they expanded on the line about the betrayal. Felt like he didnt think about it till the end in the book but in the show it affects how he interacts with annabeth and grover
Percy preaching democracy
SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO THE CONSENSUS SONG THE BEST PART OF THE EPISODE
Its like if drive and on the same boat had a kid
Joe tracz reminding us that he wrote the tlt musical and dont pretend the consensus song is not ‘on the same boat’
The whole scene of annabeth hoarding candy from the grocery store was so funny. The little frustrated face #leahismyannabeth
Also alecto using annabeth’s pride
MEDUSA got the biggest glow up from the books to the tv show, like she was just a victim, yet morally grey. Also I KNEW THAT THE ‘NOT ALL MONSTERS ARE MONSTERS’ SCENE WAS GOING TO AFFECT THE MEDUSA STORY
The sets were so good in this scene
”i dont think annabeth is like that”
Grover distracting medusa, annabeth putting her cap on her, percy cutting off her head; name a better trio
Grover yelling at both percy and annabeth YOU GO GROVER PULL YOURSELVES TOGETHER
”I didn’t think we’d ever be friends” eehraeuiqigdsjkntouaeh that was mean but the dramatic irony
HE SAID THE LINE HE SAID THE LINE
Consensus song supremacy
Anyway, this was the best episode so far

Sup, time watch Percy Jackson and share my thoughts (episode 3 spoilers below!)
Gabe, as the face in the oracles green mist is comedic gold.
Percy didn't hesitate before picking Annabeth, lmao. Bro was like, "Yeah, she'd kill me. That's important."
Percy: I trust you, Grover: I'll keep you fed
Percy trying to explain why he chose Annabeth and Grover over Luke. It's OK, dude 👌
Thalia would laugh at that joke.
Grover is stimming, singing to avoid getting in between an argument. Grover is me.
Give me the rest of the consensus song, please! I will use it well.
Medusa was doomed by the narrative
Annabeth’s mommy issues.
Percy's loyalty to his mom. Give the lady a chance before cutting her head off.
The song ;-;
Grover Underwood supremacy
And we can't forget, LIN MANUEL MIRANDA
Overall, cool, waiting to see how the handled the recent discovery that the Gateway arch is about 700 feet away from the Mississippi River. I'm placing my blue skittles on explosions.

The top two characters will be eligible to proceed into the bracket!
Propaganda under the cut.
Black Canary was submitted without propaganda.
Poison Ivy:
She started as a villain, but it's getting harder and harder for the writers to keep her in that position because she's literally correct.
Environmentally conscious and eco-friendly. Favours plants, is passionate about their growth and habitat, uses all natural fertilizer (it could be you! Visit Gotham now for more info)
Catwoman:
One of the original morally grey fandom girlbosses, she’s been breaking and entering and doing whatever she wants since the 40s! She’s a villain, she’s an antihero, she’s a love interest, she’s a manipulator, she’s got it all! Simultaneously one of the most iconic bad guys AND superheroes. Catgirl supremacy >:3
Harley Quinn:
She’s thee antihero
She's not a bad person. She does bad things sometimes, she does good things sometimes. Don't let no fixed morality hold her down, welcome to Gotham baby!
Ravager:
Shes the daughter of famed mercenary murderer villain deathstroke. She has historically toed the line between hero and villain. One of DC Comics' best antiheroes. She has more daddy issues than anyone else alive. She has a homoerotic rivalry with not one but two superheroes named cassandra. Shes willing to do what has to be done. Her dad mind controlled her at times and she went back to being evil. She has precognitive powers and enhanced healing. Shes deeply paranoid about her place in the teen titans when shes on the team. She totally wants to fuck wonder girl. she leaves the teen titans and works with the terror titans as a double agent. she wants to not be like her father. she wants to kill her father. shes a great fascinating character consistently done dirty by writers. shes a hero but shes done bad things and is a morally complex and fascinating hcaracter. i love her sm
Oracle:
im not even the peak babs stan and im sure theres other people who can explain it better but shes a really complex and interesting character and an undeniable girlboss. as the information centre of the superhero world as the mysterious oracle after being paralysed by the joker, she takes up a central role working alongside the infamously morally grey suicide squad with the dubiously villainous amanda waller, before becoming a core member of the bataman family in the 90s and 00's and leader of the birds of prey. shes tried to shoot people before despite working with batman. she manipulates her teammates. shes deeply morally complex and has an interestng relatonship with batmans code. she deserves to win because dc has done her horribly for the last decade plus, erasing her competence and her disability to regress her from a mature and complex woman and a cornerstone of the superhero community alongside some of dc's only disability representation; to a rookie hero or nightwing's arm candy. she fucking rules. dont hate.

Sibling Saga (part 1/5)
Tumblr media
@tmntbestsibscompetiton
Raph and Milo have my favorite sibling dynamic because they're both the eldest of the bunch and feel a responsibility to protect their brothers. Milo feels it strongest as the elder sister (and the oracle), but Raph still has that protective brother inclination he has in the canon. It's a bit reduced though since he doesn't have the pressure of being the oldest and biggest, and being the team leader. With Milo in the picture, Raph is just the biggest.
For Raph, Milo is like...his personal hero. She's strong and kind and always gives it her all to protect them, and Raph wants more than anything to protect Milo back in turn. This is the moment in their childhood that really solidified that for him.
For Milo, Raph is the brother she has the closest bond with. He's her little shadow and someone she trusts to protect their family should she be absent. She adores his bold spirit and how he's unafraid to express his interests and joys. She's also the only one in the family to show any interest in wrestling, so Milo and Raph frequently watch together. Unlike Raph, Milo doesn't have a favorite wrestler as she just enjoys watching the performances and cheering alongside her biggest little brother.
(also, I believe in field-medic!Raph supremacy. He takes the relatively minor/everyday injuries while Leo takes the more in-depth surgical knowledge. If you've got a bad scrape or burn or flesh wound, you go to Raph. If you've got broken bones and potential internal bleeding, you go to Leo)
[fic below cut]
“And stay gone!” Milo shouts, waving her bokken threateningly as the dog runs back down the alley from whence it came.
Her breath comes out in ragged huffs and her left arm stings painfully, but at least the threat is gone.
Exhaling heavily, Milo puts the bokken on her back again and turns back to her brothers. Raph is curled protectively around Mikey, Leo, and Donnie, his spiky shell facing outwards defensively but a noticeable tremble in his shoulders.
“Everyone okay?” She asks, crouching down to them.
Mikey pops out of his shell and nods. “I’m okay.”
Donnie mumbles something Milo can’t quite catch.
"Donnie and I are okay too,” Leo says.
Milo nods. “And you, Raph? You were really taking the brunt of that,” she says, eyeing the sluggishly oozing scratches and the scuffed sections of his shell and shoulders, and a couple of scrapes on his legs from when he hit the ground.
He turns to look her in the eye, about to answer her when his eyes abruptly focus on Milo’s arm. “You’re hurt!”
Glancing down, Milo finds that the aching wound on her arm is a lot more visually distressing than she thought. At some point, the dog had lunged for her face and Milo put her arm up in a rising block to defend. Instead of sinking its sharp teeth into her face, it sunk them into Milo’s forearm. She didn’t think much of it at the time. It hurt, sure, but she could still fight and the threat was still present. So she kept going.
She hadn’t realized it was so deep until now as she watches the blood dribble down her arm, off her fingertips and splatter on the pavement of the alley.
“Oh. It’s okay, Raph. It’s just a scratch,” she says, trying—and clearly failing if her brothers’ expressions are any indication—to hide her profusely bleeding arm.
Raph pivots fully to face her, releasing their other brothers, who are circling, clearly torn between wanting to help and wanting to vomit—mostly the latter in Donnie’s case—though Mikey is visibly on the verge of tears.
Milo hisses a little in pain as Raph pulls her arm out between them to inspect her injury. Her heart breaks a little at the sad whine that comes from her little brother as he gets a clearer look at the damage.
The distant noise of the human city suddenly becomes less distant and Milo is starkly aware of how exposed she and her brothers are.
“Come on. Let’s go!” She hisses, abruptly herding her brothers towards the manhole.
Milo doesn’t relax until all five of them are safely sequestered in the cool dampness of the sewers and out of sight. Leo wastes no time climbing up onto Milo’s back and Donnie onto Raph’s shell with Mikey—the latter a little grumpy about being beat by Leo to his favorite spot, that being Milo’s back.
With the looming danger gone, Milo lets herself relax. However, Raph immediately starts pulling Milo along—thankfully by her uninjured arm.
“Whoa! Raph!” Milo exclaims in surprise.
“We gotta bandage your arm before it gets infected,” Raph stats firmly.
From his perch on Raph’s shell, Donnie nods. “No repeats of The Incident, dear sister,” he declares.
Milo grimaces, thinking of the ugly, puckered scar on her left thigh and the miserable sickness that followed the injury that caused it. Her brothers hadn’t left her side for a month as she’d been bedridden with a high fever, even after she’d recovered thanks to the medicine Dad brought her from the surface.
Admittedly, Milo’s a little surprised they remembered given it was four years ago now, but she’s also quite touched. Still, Milo wishes they wouldn’t worry so much about her. Worrying is supposed to be her job.
Quietly, Milo relents to letting Raph tug her along as Donnie, Leo, and Mikey chat loudly amongst themselves. When they return home, the three youngest dismount from Raph and Milo.
“We’re gonna go tell Dad what happened,” Leo declares.
Donnie goes rigid. “Wait! Leo, maybe Dad doesn’t need to know all of it—!”
He’s gone—Donnie and Mikey on his heels, begging for Leo to minimize their own involvement in the events leading up to their close encounter—before Milo can object, and Raph pulls her towards their designated med bay.
It’s just a small side room, nowhere near as impressive as Baba’s was, but in the years that Milo has lived with Dad, she’s found that none of them need anything near the level that she had with Baba. They’ve got a fairly robust stockpile for dire emergencies like broken bones and cracked shells, but the bulk of their medical supplies are bandages and anti-bacterial salve because that’s most of what they need.
Raph immediately bee-lines for the metal box covered in stickers that sits in the lowest cabinet—well within easy reach for their smaller brothers just in case they need it for whatever reason—and sits on the ground in front of Milo. Silently, she does the same, watching as Raph picks out the salve tube and cotton swabs and gauze wraps from amongst the collection of bandaids and gets to work.
They sit in silence for a while as Raph applies disinfectant and looks over the bite mark on Milo’s forearm.
And then…
“You shouldn’t have done that, sis,” Raph mumbles.
Milo starts. “Huh? Of course I had to do it, Raph!” She protests. “That dog was really mean and it could have hurt you all really badly.”
Raph’s eyes shine wetly. “But you got hurt protecting us…”
“I’m your big sister, Raph,” Milo says quietly as Raph wraps her injury.
“It's my job to protect you. I don’t mind getting a scrape or two out of it.”
His beak scrunches irritably at that, tears spilling from his eyes. “But if you’re protecting us, who’s protecting you?” He asks.
Milo doesn’t have a good answer to that. She doesn’t see herself as someone who needs protecting. She’s supposed to be the one doing the protecting. If there comes a day where that isn’t the case, then that means that Milo isn’t doing her job right.
She’s about to say as much when Raph continues.
“You matter so much to us, Milo. I hate it when you risk yourself like this,” he admits. He wipes his tears on the back of his arm and when he meets Milo’s gaze, it’s with a look of absolute determination. “That’s why Raph’s gonna to protect you right back!”
Milo finds herself chuckling at that. “Okay, sure.”
“I’m serious!” Raph protests, face flushing with his indignation.
“You’ll see! When I’m bigger, I’ll be able to protect all of us, just like you!”
Despite herself, Milo can’t help the warm, fuzzy feeling that blooms in her chest. She smiles fondly at her little brother.
When he wraps her arm, Milo turns the favor right back on him. Raph’s injuries are a lot more superficial than Milo’s but are more numerous. They’re giggling amongst themselves, picking through the selection of novelty bandaids when Dad comes stumbling in, Leo, Mikey, and Donnie shuffling sheepishly behind him.
“Green! Red! Are you both alright?” He exclaims.
Dad doesn’t even wait for them to answer before fretting over them both, looking visibly pained by the deep, still oozing bite wound on Milo’s left arm. Even now, little spots of red peak through the bandage, but not enough to warrant changing it right now. Later, definitely, but it’ll be fine until the bleeding stops completely.
“Oh, Green…”
“It’s alright, Dad,” Milo assures him. “It’s just a flesh wound.���
“Milo…that dog bit you pretty deep…,” Mikey whimpers.
“Yeah! What if you get rabies!” Leo shouts. “Are we gonna have to get you to a human hospital? Rabies is no joke! You’ll die from it!”
Donnie elbows Leo sharply in the side. “Nardo, that dog definitely didn’t have rabies,” he states calmly. “It was just aggressive and poorly trained. Still, our dear sister is at risk of infection. Who knows what that beast put in its mouth before biting her.” Donnie sticks out his tongue at the thought.
Dad exhales shakily and ruffles Milo’s hair, messing up the strands she has tucked behind her green bandana. She laughs, putting up a token protest against the show of affection.
“At least you all are alright,” Dad says.
“Of course we are!” Milo beams. “I’ll always make sure we come home safe.”
Raph shoulders in, pouting. “And I’ll make sure sis comes back too!”
Dad smiles softly, visibly relieved. “I am glad to hear it,” he says.
“Now. You’ve all had a trying day. How about some fruit?”
All five of them cheer, following their dad to the kitchen, and leaving behind the mess of bloodied cotton balls and torn up bandaid wrappers, the ordeal temporarily forgotten.
(But Raph never forgets the oath he made this day. Even if Milo admittedly didn’t take it very seriously, so sure that no matter what happens, her little brother will never have to shoulder her burden of safeguarding their family alone.)
