Tomarry AU where Harry knows everything but it's not because he is a time traveller, neither because he is a seer —

Pages and words have always been Harry's best friend. Living inside a cupboard did not help with his obsession. Rather, it was due to those pages that he survived. (He was 14 when he got his room instead of a bloody cupboard to sleep in.). The library was the only place Harry was able to hide from Dudley before they were sent to different schools.

When he was fourteen, and hiding from Dudley in the public library (he was mad that his gaming room was given to him.) he ends up reading a book he came to like very much.

It was a book about an orphan boy (like him.) who ends up going to this magic world (oh, how Harry wished) but sadly Tom ended up being hated there as well. Harry was awed by Tom's strength, but also angry (at the world how they let Tom down.) and angry at Tom for destroying himself to destroy what hurt him (or maybe he was angry at himself for not being able to do the same, maybe he was angry that he couldn't save Tom —) Harry was fourteen and it would seem he was angry at a lot of things.

(—that day Harry punched Dudley back after Dudley hit him. He didn't get to eat for a week straight.)

Jealousy is something he never let himself feel, because it wasn't a privilege he was given — not really. But one thing he was jealous of was the fact that Tom got to fly. (Harry wondered some nights — hungry and unable to sleep — what would he do if he got a magic letter? Would he have friends? How nice it would be to get to eat 3 times a day — how nice it would be to just fly away.).

Harry Potter loved Tom Riddle. Harry Potter also loved Lord Voldemort. The boy who died to be born as a monster. The boy who swallowed all the hatred so that he could hate the world in return (oh, how Harry wish he could burn down the world too sometimes — how he wish he could just hate hate hate and not care care care; maybe then he would finally stop trying look for approval in his aunt's eyes). Harry knew when started reading the book Tom was as cruel as he was strong. And he knew as he read the text, there would come a day Tom would burn the world like he was also burned. Even though he didn't agree with Tom's decisions most of the time he knew Tom. So yes, Harry Potter might not agree with Voldemort but he still loved him. And he wished that he could tell him that. Wished he could tell the man who was still a boy that wanted a family so bad that he stayed up for hours at night searching, hungry to find any living family there was, hungry for a belonging that he wasn't even deigned in the magic world. He wished he could tell Voldemort that no matter what he became, Harry would love him.

So imagine his surprise when he wakes up in a moving train — right after going to bed (instead of a cake he got a can of soup) the night he turned sixteen. Imagine how surprised as he sat there, in robes that he doesn't remember he ever owned. Imagine him freaking out that he got kidnapped as the door of his train compartment opened, and in came Tom Riddle.

Dunmeshi AU where they actually defeat the red dragon the first time yayyyyy! But then the Winged Lion gets his hands on Marcille oh nooooooo

Jason: I glad we’re brothers now and love each other or whatever but don’t expect me to show up to your school plays

Tim: how old do you think am??

Jason: *squints*

[oifaaa]

Jason dying was probably the best thing that could of happened for Tim bc let's face it if Jason hadn't died Tim probably wouldn't of became a hero until he was maybe about 16 - 17 and he would of been just 10 times more annoying like rich boy with no training just showing up getting in everyone's way Bruce would have to apologise to Steph for every negative thing he ever said about her not being trained enough to fight crime in Gotham bc this new kid is actually making her look like a golden child in comparison

hey guys, it’s ya boy, queen of never finishing anything because i hate my art and spent too much time on the sketch and ran out of motivation 😎

[cluescorner]

I cannot imagine being a Damian stan right now. You've got both Zdarsky's bullshit (where he clearly doesn't give a shit about your boy) and The Boy Wonder (where Juni Ba clearly gives so many shits about your boy) coming out on the same day. The whiplash must be insane. I hope y'all get some nice warm soup for your efforts jfc

[scintillyyy]

and the thing is that dick *did* need tim's emotional support and help during the beginning of the batman reborn era because dick's life was also falling apart and they did need to help each other badly and tim leaving him to fix everything and handle the city and damian by himself *was* mean and a bit selfish, but also if tim had stayed to do this, there would have been no real chance for good independent growth for himself (in-universe and narratively speaking) and staying to help dick manage the city would have also meant deprioritizing his own wants and continuing to push down his own grief to do what's best for the greater good and ignoring both his suspicions and what he felt he needed to do at the time (search for bruce, prove himself right, have a breakdown around the world as he figured out his place in it) to focus instead on prioritizing what was currently best for current batman/dick's sake. which is just. kind of a continuation of what he's done/tried to do since he showed up in alpod. (would therapy probably have been a healthier option to move past this? well, yes, but unhealthy coping mechanisms or gtfo frankly) (anyways despite the fact he left to ostensibly find bruce, which is still batman related, leaving is still what allowed tim to get into situations that made him solidify himself as the person he wanted to be moving forth into adulthood + get to the point where he is still helping batman but also is starting to prioritize himself over prioritizing batman's needs so leaving was the objectively correct decision for himself)

anyways, they were both doing the equivalent of putting on their own oxygen masks first here instead of prioritizing what the other felt they needed at the time. and that's okay. they're both allowed to be a bit selfish at this point.

I had kind of an epiphany about why the Lone Star timeline is so terrible…at least in part. I’ve come to the conclusion that they seem to be trying to have two separate timelines going at the same time.

We have the in-universe timeline, which would be bad enough, as it is itself incredibly inconsistent and provides us with such gems as "the entirety of season 4 happens within 8 weeks." But to make matters worse, they're also trying to have the episodes occur roughly around the same date that they're airing in real life. And they add in references to the real-world airing date without any regard as to how this fits in with the in-universe timeline.

Season 4 provides some really good examples of this. In 4x05, Asha says that the mobile home rescue from 4x02 that led to Marjan getting in trouble happened on January 9, which would mean 4x02 was happening in January, the same month the episode aired. In 4x18, when Owen walks in on TK with a bunch of papers stressing about postponing the wedding, Owen jokes, "tax season was last month." In the US, tax season is in April, so this was a clear indication that 4x18 was supposed to be happening in May, which, of course, was the same month the episode aired. If you go by this, then the season took place over about 4 months, just as it did while airing. But these references to the real-world airing dates of the episode are included side-by-side with references to the supposed fact that the entire season is happening within the span of 8 weeks. For some reason that I can't even begin to comprehend, they are trying to have two separate and distinct timelines going at once.

This whole idea really hit me while I was re-watching season 2. Early in that season, they make some comments about the state of the pandemic that would make the most sense placing the episode in early 2021--which, of course, is when season 2 began airing. For example, Marjan says in 2x01 that it's been a year since there's been a decent military funeral, which was the state of things in the real world in early 2021. HOWEVER, the pandemic hadn’t happened yet at the end of season 1, so it must have started sometime between seasons 1 and 2. For Marjan's comment to make sense, a year would have had to pass between the seasons. Judging by the show's in-universe timeline, there's just no way. From things Gwyn and Owen say in the same episode about how long Gwyn has been in Austin, it seems more likely that the time between seasons was about 4 months. Clearly, they wanted to have season 2 be happening around the same time it was airing without any regard to the fact that it just wouldn't work with the in-universe timeline.

There is no way to reconcile these separate timelines. Of course, even if you take out all references to the real-world airing date and go by the in-universe timeline alone, you still can't reconcile it (8 WEEKS 🤯). But this whole two timelines thing makes it far worse!

bernard: would you still love me if i was a worm?

tim: That's actually an interesting question. There are a lot of recent studies that show worms do feel a similar sense of love as humans do. However, the answer greatly varies from whether this is a hypothetical where you have always been a worm, or a hypothetical where you get turned into a worm but we were previously dating. The first, would absolutely be a no. You would simply be a worm, I probably wouldn't notice you at all and you would not feel anything towards me, a human, either. The second would be extremely different and more complex; I would still have the memories of being in love with you but would no longer be able to talk to you or do things with you, as your brain and memories would become that of a worm. Of course there is the possibility of a way of turning you back to a human, which I would try to do relentlessly. Regardless, in this second scenario, I would still love you however wouldn't be able to continue to date you. I would of course keep you, if there was no way to turn you back, but it would be a similar situation of keeping a loved ones ashes.

im wondering what fusebox's gonna do for the next season i remember that when we learnt we would have themed seasons we all guessed casa amor was gonna be one of the themes and the other one that was highly speculated about was all stars so I imagine is only a matter of time...

[batfamhyperfixation]

Dick: oh my god, Jiminy Cricket is a bug because Pinocchio's conscience is always bugging him

Tim: and the boys turn into donkey's cause they spent too long acting like asses, are you really just realizing this now

Damian: then why hasn't Todd turned into a pet Donkey yet?

Jason: rude

I'm reading the yt coments of some TMA episodes (I had never before cause I see podcasts on Spotify) and now I truly believe that the biggest plot twist in the whole show was Jon being the youngest of the archive crew (and 27 at the first half of S1). Like half the coments of "A Guest for Mr.Spider" are "wait Jon was a 90's kid but that means he is in his late 20s?? wTF?" and prior to that is just "wow i love the archivist he is scrunkly old man".

Jon just convinced everyone - including the audience - he was 20 years older than his actual age and would happily keep the lie forever if Sasha hadn't figured him out via hacking.

Had an amusing realization about the arrogant audacity of Tim Drake.

Namely, during Hush, the actual Jason Todd finds and captures him when he's fully prepped for a fight with zero effort & then starts having it out with Bruce.

Time then aggressively insists it could never be Jason cos Jason was never that good.

I don't actually remember this happening? But then I'm also someone who thinks the whole it was actually Jason retcon was stupid which I know the reason Jason came back was bc of that scene from HUSH I still think it was unnecessary to go "oh that actually was Jason the whole time" bc you can tell the scene was written with the intention that it wasn't Jason and saying Jason and clay face did a switch a roo is soo dumb

thinking about how angela and nyla both had their daughters in s5, and how lucy needs to jump on the train and have a little girl of her own so i can have a new generation of rookie girl's running around stirring up all kinds of trouble for all three of their parents, and overall just having the best girlhood experience growing up together, having sleepovers and being silly.
