Kittens in the Dark

RENEGADE NELL (Ep.2)

I really don't like the narrative of "Bruce thinks if he hadn't made Jason Robin, Jason would have ended up as a criminal."

I much, much prefer the narrative Robins (2021-) gave us. Jason knows he did illegal stuff to survive. He did what he had to do. But has been called a crook, a criminal, a kingpin and similar stuff so many times and yeah, he is one, that he believes this narrative of "oh, I so would have ended up as a criminal." Jason does not have a high opinion of himself. He knows his skills, he knows what he is, but his self worth isn't big.

And then you have Bruce. Who doesn't think that at all. He expects Dick and Stephanie to still be heroes if they hadn't been Robin. But Jason? No. Jason would be successful. He would use his skills, combine it with a passion and help others that way. In #5, they were all in a simulation based on Bruce's idea of what their lives would've been if they hadn't been Robins. And Jason? Jason is a famous race car driver. So good that he wins and wins and wins. He has his own charity dedicated to his mother. Every single penny he wins goes to that charity.

Them but its a "sudden rainstorm" scene in some 2000's rom-com AU

a scooby doo series set in community college where the gang is in a criminology class and end up in a huge debate on the first day of class that leads to them starting a podcast talking about local urban legends, only to realize things aren’t quite adding up and they go to investigate for ~journalistic authenticity~ and end up solving a real-life crime disguised as supernatural occurrences. this happens every week and they’re frequently featured on the school newspaper. they only have twenty listeners

"When in Rome" 3.16 XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS

literally so embarrassing to have someone go "i don't go here" or "what's this from?" on my art and it's a rarepair/crackship that is in no way representative of the source material... and i have to be like. well you see, the rest of the restaurant's menu is not like this. i'm doing my own thing eating black olives right out of the can in the back-of-house. whether or not you want me to throw you a can, you have to understand that's not what they serve out front

Sometimes you notice someone eating good olives out of a can and that's what gets you interested in the rest of the auraunt

knitting/chrocheting while hanging out with friends is so funny like everyone shut up for a few minutes i have to count to 115. twice

It's a beautiful day to listen to Rick Astley.

— Yes, you can. You are a Borgia.

Friendly reminder that in a truly sibling display of affection, the bat siblings MUST bully eachother (lovingly)

Jason: I call shotgun

Dick: no

Jason: I said it first!

Dick: I was here first

Jason: you’re going to make your brother, your once dead little brother, ride in the back? I knew you hated me dickhead. I knew it! Bet you wish I was dead!

Dick: if you keep talking like that I’ll just stuff you in trunk like a good corpse

Tim: *already sat in passengers seat*

Damian: *is behind drivers seat*

Dick and Jason: oh hell no

Finding a more comfortable spot against the trunk of the tree, Belle took another bite of the juicy apple. She might be spoiling her appetite for dinner, but she never could resist fresh fruit.

After she had discovered the orchard on the castle grounds, Belle would often arm herself with a basket and shears and spend a couple hours picking the best fruit before taking a break under the shade.

"I thought I dealt for a maid, not a farmer," Rumpelstiltskin had said the first time he found her dragging the full basket into the castle.

"Can I be both today?"

He had tilted his head, both amused and bewildered by her ease. "If you wish," he'd said at last.

Belle had smiled widely (by then, she loved it when he was shocked into smiling back) and, well aware of his sweet tooth, had offered, "Make this basket easier to carry, and I'll make a pie just for you."

"I could demand you make one anyway."

Belle had given an innocent look. "But would it include that topping of golden raisins you definitely never steal from my pantry?"

So she had her enchanted basket, and in return she always made Rumpelstiltskin a dessert with the best of her harvest.

The orchard on the castle grounds was singularly blessed. Not only did it give fruit all through the year, but the taste was crisp yet sweet.

Her latest attempt at apple pie had almost made justice to the main ingredient, and she was hopeful that dessert tonight would be even more of an improvement.

For now, however, the ripest specimens were perfect for a snack while Belle paged through one of her favorite classics.

By now, she also knew to bring the largest blanket to spread on the grass.

"Lazing around again?" came the expected voice a little before midday.

He was making his appearance earlier now. It used to take him until the afternoon before he would interrupt her.

Belle liked the change.

She waited until he stood right at the edge of her makeshift picnic blanket, and then lifted her eyes from the book, granting him her brightest smile. "Hi, Rumple."

Rumpelstiltskin blinked and smiled back. He didn't even remember to grumble at her for another five seconds. "Shouldn't you be hard at work, my dear?"

Belle pretended to consider that. "I should be acting in your best interest, I think. And you do look tired." She patted the empty spot at her side. "If you sit down and let me read you a story, I'll make you a nice apple pie tonight."

Rumpelstiltskin narrowed his eyes, but he did sit down.

Belle fished another book, more to his liking, from her basket and started reading out loud.

Neither mentioned that she would have made that pie anyway.

The End

Here you go, a bit of Dark Castle softness because I wanted ask but Belle said she was on her day off and could we have a quiet day, please?

So... A Quiet Day.

By the way, I'm.half certain that these trees are not around in cànon. Rumpelstiltskin got them in a deal (bet, actually) when Regina instigated a fight between him and Belle, and Belle still wouldn't leave.

Sex Ed. helps stop all the rumors, lies and assumptions kids have about sex.

LMAO Jason holding a goon up against a glass display and telling him to be quiet so he can watch the televising of Dick's award ceremony is hilarious, THAT'S HIS BROTHER, YOUR HONOR, NOW SHUT UP HE'S TRYING TO LISTEN
