I know the intrepid heroes were largely joking about it, but the idea of kipperlily having a huge awful crush on riz is sooooo funny to me. Girl with longstanding anger issues and the capacity to orchestrate the death of a supposedly close ally in service of her goals with a crush on world’s most aroace boy. I fear the consequences will be nuclear
“The stone corrupts all those who wield it, it is fueled by their ambitions and dreams. So we need someone with no ambitions, no dreams, someone who doesn’t care about what the future holds for themselves. That’s why we found you.”
The first thought, in a moment like this, probably should not have been what came to your mind. Well, fuck you too, you thought, half incredulous and half apathetic. You leaned against the doorframe with one shoulder and eyed the group of three wizened people before you. Why was it always the elderly who came with big quests or brought important items that had to be hidden away?
Also, if you didn’t care about the future, didn’t that mean you didn’t care about the stone either? You might as well give it to someone else. Maybe someone better suited than you. There was this little girl across the street who had an acorn necklace and played in puddles and always sat very still until the every last stray cat felt safe enough to eat what she brought them. Maybe the stone should go to her, she at least gave a shit.
You debated arguing or refusing, but your disinterest won out in the end. “Sure,” you answered, holding out a hand for them to plop the stone into. You weren’t scared of it, especially since it looked utterly unremarkable. If you tossed it into a river, no one would be able to tell it apart from the other rocks.
The three wizened elders, apparently the smartest of their magic circle, exchanged grave looks and you waited until they were done with their silent communication and their leader stepped forward.
“We entrust you with the Stone of Possibility, never use it and always hide it,” they said, voice solemn and carrying the sort of undertone that spoke of great importance. You blinked slowly. “Give it to no one, no matter how noble their hearts, how pitiful their tale or how silver their tongue.” You couldn’t help but imagine a genderless person sticking out their tongue dripping with mercury.
My friend sometimes brings her six-year-old to our DnD sessions and my husband (the DM) lets her roll for all enemy attacks and sometimes he will show her a few figures and let her secretly pick what creature we meet next. Who needs encounter tables when you have a first-grader around
She cheers when the monster is winning.
DM: *places an ugly, slavering, repugnant, spine-tingling creature on the battle map*
Child who can barely see over the table: ᵗʰᵃᵗ’ˢ ᵐᵉ :)
amazing news for the bisexual community

I love when people get the mystery Brennan's laid in front of them and Brennan just so proud says "no rolls necessary"
brennan getting ready to infodump, happiest man in the world: no rolls necessary
She likes exploring space. There's so many alien cultures, and as a ghost she can travel very fast. After all, why would a ghost need to obey the laws of physics or thermodynamics?
Small problem though.
She came across a spaceship full of weird goods. It apparently belonged to some merchants, and she was having a little fun digging through their stuff. She didn't know what half of it was, but it looked cool!
The problem happened when she phased through a really weird, super reinforced crate; and found slaves.
Naturally, she freed them. Since none of them had any real combat training, she led the charge to take over the ship and kick the merchant slavers out.
Things...spitballed.
She accidentally got labeled as a Space Pirate, and is wanted by the Lantern Corp.
So why not live up to it?
While Danny and Dan get their educations and do boring hero and everyday life stuff, Dani become one of the most notorious pirates in space. She targets merchant ships and checks for slaves, and if there are any she forces the merchants out in the emergency exit pods and steals their ship.
It's gotten to the point where in just three years, she has a fleet.
She just wears a helmet so that Vlad or Danny or Dan or the GIW doesn't get any ideas and try to hunt her.
Then she gets word about a huge attack on Earth.
And, well...she's from Earth. She may be a wanted criminal, but she isn't about to forget where she came from!
She routes her fleet behind the enemy and launches a surprise attack. She has her people choose their favorite Earth hero and wear their symbol, so that Earth knows who to shoot at and who's trying to help.
Because of the magic users she knows the Justice League has, she can't go ghost around the magicky ones or they'll mess up her groove.
She grabs the heroes, escorts them to the Watchtower, gets in a fight, and is forced to remove her helmet.
The heroes manage to finally activate Earth's defense system.
Meanwhile, Dani finds herself face to face with a Green Lantern, who did have his ring aimed at her, but it's starting to dip to the floor.
"...You can't be older than fifteen. You're a kid?"
"You're...one of Bruce's kids?" Superman asks, voice strained.
Dani decides she doesn't want to deal with this.
Dani drops a smoke bomb/flashbang and books it; she has a ship to get back to.
one of the weird things i noticed watching the phantom menace yesterday is that when he first meets and fights darth maul, qui-gon and obi-wan both use it/its pronouns for maul. not sure what was going on there
the simplest explanation is the filmmakers want you conceive of maul as not-quite-human, some sort of demonic entity, being as he is an evil space wizard. the funnier answer is that the force gives jedi the ability to perceive people's pronouns and maul has some boydyke shit going on
Maul had some fun gender shit going on beneath the surface but it didn't get to figure it out after thinking nothing but how much it wants to kill Kenobi for 34 straight years
enbies will literally try to get homoerotic revenge on the man who cut it in half instead of thinking about its gender
Jay is not the best babysitter...
I fucking love these fics where all the batkids are all pretty small and they just get up to kid shenanigans while Bruce is sprouting gray hairs.
My favorite response to “that’s not a word” is “then why do you know what it means?”
Every time someone within 30 miles of me says “that’s a made up word” I am uncontrollably compelled to respond “ALL WORDS ARE MADE UP!”
In a college language class I took, we talked about the Jabberwocky poem and the professor had us try to explain every word in it. When we got to ‘outgrabe’ she asked why it was past tense and my response was “Cause the present tense is outgribe”. Her response was “That doesn’t answer the question but that brings up a better one. Why do you know that?”
Alfred, to Bruce: Now I know you SAY that the Batcave has kept everything up to code, but I recently spoke to a very reliable source-
Robin Dick: hi (:
Alfred: - and he has informed me that the floor is, in fact, lava. Which, I don’t need to tell you, is a pretty serious safety violation.
Headcanon where after so many arguments between the batkids and Bruce over his paranoia and complete disregard for his kids privacy, the entire family had compromised with (in the healthiest way possible) downloading life360 on their phones and that's how they all keep track of each other.
Now Bruce knew that this is mostly for his benefit and is supposed to be a healthy alternative for his unhealthy paranoia and helicopter parenting, but what he wasn't expecting was for his kids to start keeping track of him.
He's putting gas in his car and Dick calls him because apparently Dick has been watching him drive around on the app? And Bruce is currently at a gas station thats right around the corner from a Taco Bell and now Dick wants him to get food for everyone since he's already there.
He's driving home from a meeting and Steph calls him because her and Duke were shopping in the area and wants to know if he can pick them up, when he asks how she knew he was on the same street, he gets a "Oh I just like to stalk everyone on the app for funsies." as an answer.
Jason calls him and he can barely get out a hello before Jason cuts him off, "Bruce why the fuck is your phone battery on 5%, charge your damn phone" which completely stuns him because why does he know that. He clears his throat before answering. "Jason, what?"
"Everyone can see each others phone batteries on '360, now charge your phone." Is all he gets before Jason hangs up on him.
While I'm posting about my Tim and Jay opinions...
I sincerely believe that Robin era Tim wore a full, accurate Batman suit onesie as pajamas and if Jason ever saw him it would be like:
why small kittens are always either the most pathetic or the most evil creature you've ever seen
How the batkids managed to convince Bruce to adopt Tim
Meanwhile, Tim:
