So first off, I loved Teen Titans (2003). I can openly admit that I am very biased to it, and incorporate it into my personal complicated au. In Teen Titans, Dick leads them as Robin. So lets talk about Jason, and how Dick becomes Nightwing. (In my au)
"Red X is Jason Todd!!" No. Red X is clearly Grant Wilson. It makes the most sense. He calls Robin "kid" implying that he is older, has a similar fighting style to Slade (because we know he and Robin are similar), and most importantly, Jason would not die and come back to find Dick in the Robin costume. (Unless it's a reverse au).
So since Robin leads the Teen Titans, still Robin despite not being in Gotham or with Batman, why would he become Nightwing? Here is my answer.
Dick finds a newspaper article about Batman and Robin in Gotham. Recently. He hasn't been in Gotham recently. There are speculations on why there are two Robins.
He goes home to confront Bruce, and finds a child that looks just like him, in a previous version of his costume. He argues with Bruce, he visits Clark, hears the story about Nightwing and Flamebird, remembers that one episode where Starfire went to the future, and returns to Jump City as Nightwing, unable to take Robin away from the kid, officially giving up Robin to Jason.
Jason doesn't any of know that and believes he has always lead the Titans as Nightwing.
(The newspaper is also a parallel to how Dick found out about Jason's death :D)
Do with this what you will.
Obviously not sponsored since I'm literally nobody here, but it's genuinely so cool that I can post my headcanons, thoughts, and theories without feeling like I'm lost in the shuffle.
I cannot say just how amazing it is that I could be analyzing how the Force works in the shower and realize... I have a place to put that now. It's not just me and whoever is willing to listen to me ramble about my stupid shit. Now other people are reading my stupid shit... and they like it.
Now again, I am small. Just a few days ago I reached 100 likes added together from... 7 posts + a repost. Which is bananas! But not someone whose... y'know, big. But the little that I have is honestly just great.
I mean... I'd seen a lot of Tumblr posts filled with amazing content, but I still didn't get an account. Idk why, just felt like I didn't need it or that I'd never use it. Or maybe it was just stubbornness towards the end. I needed a good reason. Something I could only find here.
That was when I found out about an obscure Batman character named Lance Bruner (I made a post about him, u should read it). I wanted art of him. It only existed here. They cut me off the "Classified: jk make an account :) and I did. And honestly, I'm really glad I did. This is pretty worth it. This is the most I've ever posted on a platform (unless you count the comment section) and honestly, and most importantly, I'm having fun.
I would like a story about Duke Thomas being able to see ghosts as another facet of his powers.
And like… Him just vibing in the manor, only to see a blond ghost kid following around his family, with funny, unappreciated quips.
Who are you??
I’m Lance. I’m technically your older brother.
Chaos ensues.
(Dick, Bruce, and Alfred do NOT talk about Lance and therefore, no one knows that they had another brother named Lance Bruner).
Growing up is realizing that Riley, Maya, and Lucas should have been a throuple.
The most unrealistic thing about those senior mirror of the triangle (Thor, Nikki, and Francesca) is that they didn’t come in and say. “Triangle? Ya, we’ve been there, but then we realized that we (Nikki and Francesca) like each other too. It all just kinda fell into place after that.”
Considering that they both tried to give the other their happiness (“he’s like my brother” both times) and the fact that the triangle has lasted so long, mostly without major jealousy, (they talk in out like a functional poly relationship) they should’ve. And they didn’t. Because it’s Disney.
It cool
Due to popular request, here are some dividers inspired by Greek gods:

Hephaestus

Picture this:
Dogma, having Slick as his prison-mate, and finding out what exactly happened to Tup and subsequently, Fives.
The rule follower, who killed a Jedi traitor, and instead of being reconditioned or decommissioned, gets locked in a cell.
Having regular conversations with Boba Fett (who tried to kill a Jedi) and Slick (THE traitor clone) while constantly coming into contact with the Coruscant Guard (Who have all kinds of bad going on).
Then Order 66.
I see Dogma’s name becoming even more ironic than it already is. Anarchist!Dogma burning down Empirical bases.
Walking through doors that say “Do Not Enter”, waving for others to follow him.
He becomes a legend in The Rebellion. Very few know that he’s a clone.
He’s known for never respecting authority… which makes it all the more shocking to others when he respects and follows Captain Rex without complaint.
Maintains a good relationship with both Slick and Boba.
Totally where’s a black leather jacket.
The loss of his twin (Tup) weighs heavily on him in quiet moments of seriousness.
Takes to starting riots against the Empire.
Great at riling up support for the rebellion.
He's with the rebellion right now, but once talk of a new republic seems feasible, he leaves. People say it's because an agent of chaos cannot flourish in peace. In reality, he remembers the republic he lived in. He has trauma.
Warning: This fic is incomplete and posted anonymously.
With that out of the way, this is one of my top 5 favorite fanfics of all time, ever. It’s the only Harry Potter fic there.
The character that changes the most here is Draco (and Pansy), but everyone else is slight enough to be believable. It’s their choices and relations that change the story. (Like most good fanfics)
Now, there are no ships, but if you’re a fan of Dramione or Pansmione or Drarry or even Ronmione, you could definitely read it with those in mind. All the characters have very interesting dynamics with each other.
The houses thing: You won’t be able to unsee it.
Without further ado: Harry Potter and The Year That Four 1st Years Solved The Inter-House Unity Problem
Or Part 1 of A Ravenclaw, a Hufflepuff, a Gryffindor, and a Slytherin walk into a bar....
(I was on Reddit, someone asked for Harry Potter must reads, so I commented this. Thought I’d share.)
(Watch this guy's video, it's great, despite the talk of Christianity. I'm not Christian, but this guy knows what he's talking about, tries not to be redundant, and just generally has a pretty good video essay/analysis here).
That high school musical comment at 26:40 hath struck me with inspiration.
I now declare an au where a bunch of high school characters convince their grumpy teacher's wife to join their play/musical where Grumpy Teacher is the bad guy. It's very corny and it's supposed to be, because the wife only agreed to it as a cute joke on her husband.
The bad moments are intentionally bad, played straight, and people in the audience laugh because they know it's a joke on their teacher.
The plot is flimsy because the students weren't trying to write a good play, they were trying to make their class and school laugh.
Grumpy Teacher is grumpy about it at first, but comes around to it (he loves his wife so much).
(Because of the library in the movie, I'm gonna say he's an English teacher).
He takes the whole thing in good humor and uses the shoddy play as and assignment and/or final project, challenging his students to create a compelling story, and every rewrite that you've seen on the internet is a student's assignment.
He does this project every year now, and those student's little joke goes down in history.
(Do you like my dumb picture? It has nothing to do with this post but it’s here)
It's important for people to realize that the thing that finally broke me -the thing that made me make an actual account here- was a very, VERY, obscure Batman character named Lance Bruner. (Look him up srsly) I learned about him one night and that same night, I needed fanart of him, was givin the "whoops: classified jk get an account" and you know what. I fucking did. It hasn’t even been a week since that night btw. First post the same week I create this account. Woohoo!
I HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE!!!!
(I think. I choose to believe that)
When I had first discovered this hidden Batfam character, (before the the batfam was really a concept! (This little blond shit existed before Jason Todd!!)) there were about 8-9 fanfics of him on AO3. All published months or YEARS apart.
I made my first post on Lance in early October of 24 and my second post on Lance (and Duke because Duke) in early January.
We went from 8-9 to 12!!! (It's probably a coincidence) There are somewhat recent ones too! From this month!!!
Lance content hath expanded, if only slightly, and thus, the world hath changed for the better.
I can't unsee it.
They probably don't even realize their gay and when they do, it takes them even longer to realize they're gay for each other.
"We're just besties! R U saying you don't cuddle w/ your bestie? Or do each others make-up, dress up, hold hands, sleep in the same bed, help undress, gossip, do each others hair…"
The Lesbian Vibes TM are immaculate.
I would like more of Them please.
Don’t try and tell me Lavender and Parvati weren’t those 90’s “It Girls”, I will only disagree with you..
