‘i’ve been having nightmares.’

the bird eater prompts

The fire escape is narrow, cramped with the two of them on it, but the air, at least, is fresh. Sort of, anyway; the smoking probably isn't helping, but at least that's familiar. That tastes the same.

Xu holds out her half-done cigarette in offer, because it's easier than getting up and finding the pack. Her slight shift sends an ominous creak through the weather-worn metal.

One day, all this old metal is going to rip right off the side of the building, and send both of them plummeting with it.

I hate New York.

But she loves Chi, so Xu turns her attention away from the generalized annoyances, and to the more immediate issue:

"--Do you want to talk about them?"

just curious but will you be writing for more characters?

 yes,  of  course  <3  decided  to  start  of  small  and  slow  to  prevent  myself  from  getting  overwhelmed.  ngl  last  time  i  did  this  ,  it  became  kinda  miserable  for  me  lol  and  i  promised  not  to  have  that  happen  again.  you'll  definitely  see  fics  from  different  fandoms  like  resident  evil  and  metal  gear  (  punished  snake  my  love  )

"i wish i was just a concept, not a person anymore."

❝ can't say i quite understand it, but i think i get what youre getting at. ❞

her voice is muffled through the cigarette hanging out of her mouth. her lighter isn't working no matter how many times she fights with it. grunting in frustration, she shoves it back into her pocket and glances towards the other.

❝ i mean, being a person is kinda bullshit, isn't it? it should be the coolest experience ever, but it's not and that's usuallt 'cuz of other fuckin' people. like damn, we can't let each other be? ❞

she's thinking too hard now. shoko has a habit of making her do that. she's starting to itch for that cigarette bad. or maybe it's just that uneasy, crawling feeling she gets when she knows she's dangerously close to being honest with someone.

❝ hey, i know you got a light, hand it over. ❞

Hello, will there ever be an outbox to go with our inbox so we can see the asks we've sent?

Answer: Hey there, @planetpluuto!

Thanks for your question. We have good news and bad news about this:

The bad news is that we’re not currently looking into making this into a part of Tumblr. The inbox and messaging systems need more general usability improvements before we might consider adding an advanced feature like this.

The good news is that there are already third-party tools that do just this, namely Outbox for Tumblr. Do note that this is a browser extension, however, so no asks you send in the mobile apps will be saved by this nifty plugin.

We hope that helps. Have a lovely day!

Hi! Would you mind elaborating on the differences in how Mike W Barr wrote Jason vs how he wrote Dick? I re-read Barr's run with Jason on TEC recently and concluded that he pretty much gave Jason the standard Robin Personality(tm) for almost all of it, so I'm curious to hear about the distinction (haven't really read Barr's work with Dick before)

hi:) why not read it? batman: full circle is a really good one... it's a sequel to year 2, and my beginning and my probable end is an intro to year 2... it's all interconnected.

"robin personality(tm)" is a category that makes sense only if you look at the wide batman media, but doesn't mean much when discussing specific titles, authors and runs... and i've seen plenty of people saying "well, jay in barr's run is just a carbon print of dick," just as people say "well, pre-crisis jase is just a carbon print of dick," but both are simply wrong if you care to read more and compare.

dick in batman: full circle has a much stronger personality than barr's jay does, and goes openly against bruce's orders, tricking alfred to leave the manor and follow bruce. and bruce is so much stricter with dick too. it does, of course, have to do with the tone of those stories—full circle is much darker than the silver age-esque series that jay stars in. but that also tells us something about how barr views their respective relationships and batman "eras" in general; in his interpretation, early years of batman were challenging and there was no space for leniency in the field. bruce was still burdened by many moral dilemmas that did not crystallize into his strict moral code yet, and let him at times slip into the 'darkness' of the cases he was working. but later, when jay comes into the picture, the modus operandi is already set; bruce has many allies and little doubt in his heart. jay is also his second kid (and parents often get more lenient with their younger children) and barr's version of him, similarly as much of jay's early robin run is both at times insecure, and eager, his innocence shining through the shadow of his backstory.

it is true that barr did not seem very interested in working with jay's background itself; a huge loss! but it's not that he was writing just any robin either; it's supposed to reflect a specific time in the batman mythos.

of course, both archetypes—jay's compliant little self and dick's stubborn "recklessness," were and are keenly (and often completely randomly) distributed to different robins at different times by different writers; but barr did make his own choices here.

“You need to rest.” ~thereallionofbalamb

my muse is ill and refusing to rest | @thereallionofbalamb

"Yeah, well, tell that to the SeeD exam coming up," she groans, congested all to hell, sneezing and coughing her way through what has to be at least half a dozen tissue boxes at this point in the weekend.

What perfect timing-- she finally gets him to come down to visit her, and it's the weekend that every little child carrying every little germ in the world in Garden has decided to give them all to her as a gift.

Another coughing fit, another wad of tissue dropped into an overflowing trash bin. She groans again, and drops her head on her arms for a minute, covering up all the maps and data and reports that she's been staring at with a rapidly-reducing sense of comprehension for the last several hours. Of course, her elbow bumps the cup of tea, long since gone cold, spilling half of it over her papers before she can right it again with reflexes significantly delayed.

"Shit."

do you mind if i smoke?

the night air is cold. it nips at her cheeks and turns them the same shade as her highlights.

it feels weird having kostya back. every dream she's had since he left has come true - well, mostly. he's not taking her dancing or kissing her under the moonlight, but fuck it. he's here. she can reach out and touch him if she wants to. that's enough. that could be enough. she presses her shoulder to his.

❝ uh, duh, if you don't have one for me. ❞ she rolls her eyes before holding out her perfectly manicured hand.

What do you think what happend with tom and sara during the toonami hiatus? (08-2012 ish)

Not entirely sure...but! You know how in the first intro with TOM 5 and SARA v3 sounded like they hadn't seen each other in a while? So between seeing them together last back in 2007 (her showing up the April Fools run was apparently not canon) and her reintroduction in 2013, I think they separated for some reason. I like thinking that SARA voluntarily went to help someone. Perhaps an old friend/ally like the Dronomeks? Something also must've happened in between this time to make SARA have to revert to a face on a screen again and no longer a more physical looking hologram. Maybe it had something to do with the Absolution mk III's capabilities? Or cuz of their lower budget- I like to think them having more budget and less airtime back in 2004 is what made it so she was able to have a full body in the first place since it also means the ship is saving enough energy for it now that they were working one day a week and not five. No idea what happened between that time to make TOM 3.5 become TOM 5...they've been holding that story over our heads for over ten years now... Maybe all this could be explained...if they told us what HIS origin story was! And where did that version of the Absolution come from? Was mk II destroyed like mk I was? Was it revamped into mk III? Is it a completely different ship that just has a legacy title? Besides that...I'd say before SARA left temporarily, it would be interesting if Fusion fall was canon for them somehow- that at least explains what they were doing in 2011. Maybe some interdimensional shenanigans caused them to go to the post apocalyptic warring anime version of CN City or something idk. Before though...I also gotta wonder what 3 was doing during the 2007-08 timeframe when he essentially lent the block to his clone/twin. (Yeah that's canon by the way.) Unlike 5, I actually have a theory on 4's existence- he one was one of the other spare bodies in those pods seen in the Intruder when TOM 2 was first awakened that crash landed onto the planet we see him on after mk I exploded...as for why he looks like that...emergency repairs. Ship of theseus'd himself...heck maybe that's why he's 4...maybe he called himself 3 until something happened where his appearance changed greatly before meeting 3 and it just so happened to line up. Other than what I listed...probably the usually stuff, but just off screen?

The lap one👀👀

(obligatory disclaimer for having never read a barry comic linearly + major gaps in knowledge for other characters) god i tried to getting into barry and wallace’s relationship and started off w that comic where barry arrests him bc it was the only one they had at my library. downright egregious. idk if they have other origin stories, but if you had to write one for them, how would you reimagine it?

omfg that's such a horrible introduction to them 😭 however comma i like that their relationship is always antagonistic. barry just has no idea what he's doing with wallace and somehow always does the wrong thing.

in my head they meet when wallace is a toddler 😭 and barry's just always been around. his aunt-mom's on again off again boyfriend of ~15 years. why would wallace take him seriously 😭 here he is disliking barry on sight.

i like to think he was a precocious toddler. and this is off topic BUT i want a story centered around iris and barry, who are kinda-sorta dating, co-parenting wally and wallace. imagine being ~24 years old with a toddler and a 10-year old in your custody while working full time as a journalist..... literally how.

and it's interesting that wally and wallace have such different relationships with barry because they were all raised together. ofc siblings can have different experiences with their parents.

i think it's that wallace had daniel (his father-uncle) who was a better influence than wally had with rudy. so he didn't need barry the same way wally did.

also i dont think barry is good with kids. i think he likes kids but is too awkward to be good with them. wally is a fluke. like lightning in a bottle or something. anyway
