12 year old tim realizing robin’s not coming back to gotham and deciding that it’s Batman’s fault so he has to ruin the little bit of sanity and peace of mind Bruce has managed (read: struggled) to keep in his grasp:

[fantastic-nonsense]

Just Kanej Things: "To hell with revenge, to hell with his schemes. If Rollins had done something to Inej, Kaz would paint East Stave with his entrails." 🤝 "Her knives were in her hands. She’d kill them all. She’d pile the bodies to the rafters for the stadwatch to find."

“He’s all right!” Clary exclaimed, and Alec, Jace, and Simon came hurrying over to have a look. Simon slid his hand into Clary’s, and she wrapped her fingers around his, glad for the reassurance.

“So he’ll live?” Simon said, as Magnus sank down onto the armrest of the nearest chair. He looked exhausted, drawn and bluish. “You’re sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure,” Magnus said. “I’m the High Warlock of Brooklyn; I know what I’m doing.” His eyes moved to Jace, who had just said something to Alec in a voice too low for any of the rest of them to hear. “Which reminds me,” Magnus went on, sounding stiff—and Clary had never heard him sound stiff before—“that I’m not exactly sure what it is you think you’re doing, calling on me every time one of you has so much as an ingrown toenail that needs clipping. As High Warlock, my time is valuable. There are plenty of lesser warlocks who’d be happy to do a job for you at a greatly reduced rate.”

Clary blinked at him in surprise. “You’re charging us? But Luke is a friend!”

Magnus took a thin blue cigarette out of his shirt pocket. “Not a friend of mine,” he said. “I met him only on the few occasions when your mother brought him along when your memory spells were being refreshed.” He passed his hand across the cigarette’s tip and it lit with a multicolored flame. “Did you think I was helping you out of the goodness of my heart? Or am I just the only warlock you happen to know?”

Jace had listened to this short speech with a smolder of fury sparking his amber eyes to gold. “No,” he said now, “but you are the only warlock we know who happens to be dating a friend of ours.”

For a moment everyone stared at him —Alec in sheer horror, Magnus in astonished anger, and Clary and Simon in surprise. It was Alec who spoke first, his voice shaking. “Why would you say something like that?”

Jace looked baffled. “Something like what?”

“That I’m dating—that we’re—it’s not true,” Alec said, his voice rising and dropping several octaves as he fought to control it.

Jace looked at him steadily. “I didn’t say he was dating you,” he said, “but funny that you knew just what I meant, isn’t it?”

“We’re not dating,” Alec said again.

“Oh?” Magnus said. “So you’re just that friendly with everybody, is that it?”

“Magnus.” Alec stared imploringly at the warlock. Magnus, however, it seemed, had had enough. He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back in silence, regarding the scene before him with slitted eyes.

Alec turned to Jace. “You don’t—” he began. “I mean, you couldn’t possibly think—”

Jace was shaking his head in puzzlement. “What I don’t get is you going to all these lengths to hide your relationship with Magnus from me when it’s not as if I would mind if you did tell me about it.”

If he meant his words to be reassuring, it was clear that they weren’t. Alec went a pale gray color, and said nothing. Jace turned to Magnus. “Help me convince him,” he said, “that I really don’t care.”

“Oh,” Magnus said quietly, “I think he believes you about that.”

“Then I don’t…” Bewilderment was plain on Jace’s face, and for a moment Clary saw Magnus’s expression and knew he was strongly tempted to answer. Moved by a hasty pity for Alec, she pulled her hand out of Simon’s and said, “Jace, that’s enough. Let it alone.”

“Let what alone?” Luke inquired. Clary whirled around to find him sitting up on the couch, wincing a little with pain but looking otherwise healthy enough.

“Luke!” She darted to the side of the sofa, considered hugging him, saw the way he was holding his shoulder, and decided against it. “Do you remember what happened?”

“Not really.” Luke passed a hand across his face. “The last thing I remember was going out to the truck. Something hit my shoulder and jerked me sideways. I remember the most incredible pain—Anyway, I must have passed out after that. The next thing I knew I was listening to five people shouting. What was all that about, anyway?”

“Nothing,” chorused Clary, Simon, Alec, Magnus, and Jace, in surprising and probably never-to-be-repeated unison.

Memphis "Wild Child" Quezz Ruthless Shares New Mixtape, 'Y.N.S.'

A self-proclaimed "wild child" who has been making waves in the Memphis streets, Quezz Ruthless has no inhibitions when on the mic. Today, the young rapper looks to take the next step with his new mixtape, Y.N.S. Spanning 11 tracks, the tape is defined by Quezz's tumbling flow, which slices through Tennessee trap percussion with reckless abandon. The Grim Reaper Gang rapper's bars reflect his "Ruthless" artist name, showing no remorse for anyone who might cause an obstacle to his inevitable rise.

Short for Yung N**** Sh*t, the tape was created in honor of Quezz Ruthless's brother and biggest inspiration: the late Big Scarr. Y.N.S. hosts "Big Scarr Flow Part 2," in which Quezz channels the style of his older brother to get off some of his toughest bars to date: "How you a ape but you scared of Gorillas/I walk around with your stash in my denims/B*tch, I'm the big dog, I'm king of the kennel," he spits. The tape's final track, "Ain't Stoppin'," produced by GRAMMY-nominated production duo The Trillionaires, features a posthumous verse from Scarr himself, as Quezz resolves to never stop paying tribute to his brother's memory. In the video, shared today on Quezz's YouTube, the young rapper holds a candlelit vigil for his brother, before going out in Memphis in his foreign and making the city his own.

The tape is home to "Y.N.S.," a turbulent recent single, which Quezz dropped on his YT channel last week. Featuring an additional appearance from fellow Memphian BlocBoy JB on "Smiling," Y.N.S. is available everywhere via Wild Child, LLC, distributed by Connect Music.

Quezz Ruthless is one of the most exciting young rappers in the bustling Memphis rap scene. He first earned notoriety with his guest spot on Big Scarr's "MJ," which has over 85 million global streams. Quezz built a cult following in Memphis with his 2023 mixtape, Wild Child, which has over 10 million streams. The rapper's catalog generates over 200k on-demand streams per week across platform.

With Y.N.S. out now and much further to rise, Quezz Ruthless looks to honor his brother's memory by going as hard as he can. Stay tuned for much more.

Raditz definitely has a harem of women he spares from worlds he's conquered. They usually tend to him whenever he's back on the ship, brushing his hair out and cleaning his armor for him. They're also the reason why he usually skips out on training-he'd rather be doted on by his ladies than exhaust himself on a pointless endeavor.

They have to make themselves useful to him otherwise Vegeta will kill them. Raditz can only make excuses for so long before his patience snaps so they usually stay very close to him.

Also imagine going from having your world devastated by a monster only to have the same guy purring in your lap a week later after he spared you. The whiplash.

think the whole gang should visit emrys’ tiny village on the way to baldurs gate so they can witness how every village girlie was obsessed with her a bit and how she’s clearly flustered but also goes right back into the mode of kissing hands and bowing respectfully and offering flowers to old ladies and everyone asking her to carry stuff so she does. village butch hunk style.

Why Fitz is the One of the Most Thematic

In my opinion, Fitz is one of the most thematic character in the series besides Rayni or Prentice. He is a Vacker, and the Vackers are the epitome of elven culture. Yet, in the Vacker family there are scandels and hidden darkness, and the perfection that needs to be maintained in being Vacker becomes crippling to the family members. Likewise, being an elf and being apart of the elven society seems so perfect and everyone is happy on the outside, but so many flaws and ugly cases are swept under that rug of perfection. Both of these prove that no system really can be perfect and things have to change at some point. So, while Fitz has built his entire life around being a perfect Vacker, under glaring scrutiny, the world around him is changing and suddenly these systems that have built him up are crumbling down, so he too is breaking down. Without the expectations of being the perfect Vacker and elf (like having a strong ability, being the best at foxfire, finding the perfect match on your match list that will make your children the strongest etc etc), he seems...useless. In fact, Rayni (who I mentioned to be an incredibly thematic character, who REALLY highlights how the systems are flawed) points this out in Stellarlune, calling him a "backup" and questioning what his real use is.

I mean, imagine everything that once made you great being stripped away, and realizing everything you worked for your entire life was all for nothing because apparently it's all wrong. That's what is happening to Fitz, and what will happen to many elves if Sophie can bring true change to the Lost Cities (why did that sound kind of like those summaries on the backs of books).

Fitz’s struggle as a character illuminates how superficial elven success is, and how elves should find meaning somewhere other than being perfect, having the strongest natural ability, having the greatest status and such. It’s pretty satisfying when you look at him that way. Just wish he’d be promoted from the role of Love Interest, and that Shannon would actually explore his character, because it could be really powerful to the story.

in regards to the King Shadow arc the Archie comics had, I’ve never understood why Sally was just standing around while Shadow became a tyrant. You’re telling me she just gave up her power the moment they got married? That’s not the gal I grew up with >:/

So I made a minor AU where she became a tyrant too. Queen Sally proudly wears King Shadow’s symbol and his colors. Together, the two of them protect their kingdom by any means necessary.

Early 2024 Reading Plan

got a hardback copy of Iron Flame for Christmas!!

But first I’m going to read Ruthless Vows, gonna order it with my Book of the Month Subscription. I technically need to read it first since I’m lending my sister my hardback copy of Divine Rivals and I don’t want too many books to pass in between me reading it and Ruthless Vows. So gonna be on a hold a little bit.

And then after reading those I’m gonna re-read Fourth Wing on kindle and then read iron flame. So I’ll keep updated on my timeline but that’s how it’s going rn.

Aware that new SJM book is coming in Jan, but I haven’t read any crescent City books yet- I’m turned off by the tech lmao. So goal these next few months maybe to power thru.
