Damian Wayne gets caught by the press while sneaking away and hanging out in civilian clothing with Red Hood and Bruce finding out they know each other isn’t even his biggest problem. his biggest problem is that the interviewer asked what his connection is to the crime lord and why they have on camera the guy calling Damian ‘habibi’, and, panicking about whether or not Bruce seeing this interview could leak Jason’s identity, to throw him off the trail Damian said that Red Hood is his parent.
Interviewer: wait. but… i thought that Bruce Wayne was your biological father?
Damian, panicking even more because both Jason and Bruce would kill him if people thought that Brucie Wayne was the Red Hood’s identity: what, don’t you support trans people? Hood was my mother.
Jason only finds out what Damian did when after a week of confusedly nodding at the trans pride pins people kept wearing and pointing out to him on the street, and Damian refusing to look him in the eye, Nightwing shows up during patrol crying laughing about how Bruce Wayne got asked during a gala about his secret affair with a crime lord and held his champagne glass so tightly it exploded in his hands.
Bruce, on the other hand, got sent the interview clip by Tim halfway through breakfast, whereupon hearing the audio start Damian climbed out the nearest window to get away. after a slightly paranoid text to Talia about whether or not she was in Gotham wearing a face covering helmet every night, be proceeds to freak the fuck out. he has no idea who the Red Hood is, or how Damian knows him. He also has no clue that Red Hood knows HIS identity, and fully plans on showing up to Wayne events in the helmet to antagonise Bruce by stealing food and demanding they talk about the ‘custody arrangements’ of their son. all he knows is that Damian broke a window in his haste to Not Explain Anything, and that Dick and Tim are wheezing hysterically on the other side of the house.
and peeta was the song for the mockingjay to sing
This YouTube comment has been on my mind since I finished SOTR so this is what I came up with:
Lucy Gray was the mockingbird, living on the outskirts of district 12 and was there at the wrong time when they were forced to stay there after the Dark Days. They were subjected to the Capitol’s politics despite not being a part of Panem, technically speaking. Lucy Gray became part of the Games and, likewise, the mockingbird became affiliated with the Capitol through the jabberjay’s release into the woods, but it still continued to sing its own song.
Haymitch was the jabberjay, a Capitol tool that did what it had to in order to survive. The Capitol thought they could control them, but they retaliated in the form of rebellion. Haymitch refused to be a piece in their game and tried to end it, and the jabberjay, in the eyes of the Capitol, created a freak of nature that showed the Capitol’s lack of complete control.
Katniss was the mockingjay, a slap in the face of the Capitol, something that was never meant to exist. Together, the song of the mockingbird that lived on for generations and the stubbornness of the jabberjay that refused to die, the mockingjay had the best of both worlds. It was a symbol of rebellion and unity.
pepper: what an idiot. i can’t believe i’m going to marry him.
happy: well, you don’t have to—
pepper, looking at tony yell at dum-e for blasting him with a fire extinguisher: no. i’m going to.
*writes two paragraphs after months of literally nothing and it took three hours*
i’m so appreciative to suzanne for reframing the rebellion from the original trilogy as a “they saw their moment and took it” type situation and showing us that they’ve been trying, over and over, with so many failed attempts, to break the arena and incite a rebellion for decades. in this current political climate never giving up hope is so essential. haymitch wasn’t the first nor the last, and they kept going even when it seemed completely futile, and that’s what counts, and what ultimately saves them all.
im filled with brief panic whenever i get the “shields are up” page
ur additions made this so much better omg
i actually have mad woman for wanda and peter for peter in a folder for edits and am so glad someone sees the vision. like, especially with wanda cuz she was pushed until her breaking point and whenever anything goes well for her, it messes up. id probably go crazy too.
and castles crumbling for thor is SO perfect. he was the golden boy since birth and besides his slump in the first thor movie, hes generally seen as this pillar of strength and overall goodness. and then we see him in endgame, and he’s messed up. castles crumbling fits that so well (and ur so right they have a pattern of ignoring pieces that are too deep *cough* bruce banner having tried to kill himself being mentioned a total of one time *cough*
might i also add:
who’s afraid of little old me? for peter parker. he was so sweet in civil war, all obsessed and awe-struck by the world around him. and then you get to nwh and he’s seen what being spider-man really is, and he knows what he can do. also!
clara bow for peter parker: can you imagine being spider-man after iron man’s death? especially when your suit is LITERALLY the iron spider? spider-man is going to have to spend the rest of his life being compared to the man he saw die. additionally, the whole aspect of thinking being a super hero would be cool until he’s there, and he’s met all the avengers, and it sucks.
long story short for clint. “i tried to pick my battles til the battle picked me.” he wanted a normal life with his family, but after infinity war he knew he couldn’t sit around any longer, so he went rogue. then, endgame happened and he needed his family back, so he had to fight with the avengers again. and then “long story short, it was a bad time. long story short, i survived.” like, self explanatory but its basically endgame to the hawkeye show. he was in such a deep depression to begin, and then the last time we see him, he’s happy with the people he cares about and he really did make it out.
so long, london for tony stark: i think for this london refers to the avengers. specifically the lines “you say i abandoned the ship but i was going down with it.” to start: “you say i abandoned the ship” this could refer to anything from steve and tony’s argument in avengers 2012 to civil war, but id say it better works with civil war since that would suit the abandonment line. then, “i was going down with it” talks about his dying for the entire universe, and thats what the avengers stood for.
innocent for yelena belova: when we first see her, yelena is six years old and playing in her backyard. the next, she’s killing people.
bonus: nobody’s soldier by hozier is SO steve rogers

Whenever Haymitch insulted Effie's outfits during the main triology, it wasn't his fault, he was being possesed by Maysilee's ghost
Rip Maysilee Donner. You would’ve loved Cinna
it gets to the point where reporters start asking the rest of the batfam about it cuz they can’t get a straight answer.
they forgot the batfam is a bunch of assholes.
dick: they were born of the same laugh, but cass had to live in the winter woods
jason: they swapped bodies too often and started resembling each other
stephanie: they’re biologically twins, they just have different parents
damian: drake got surgery to look more like cain. he was even more disgusting before.
duke: they’re from the shining, swear on my life
bruce: of course they’re twins. it’s just that cassandra was born earlier.
so my siblings look like twins (they are not) and once again my bullshit brain was like hmmmm batfam. So here. Have some Cass and Tim twin content. Featuring my siblings’ and I’s answers to:
”are you twins?”
-
Tim: we used to be.
-
Cass: Legally? No. Biologically? No. Genetically? Also no.
-
Tim: you can see her too?
Cass: *fucking disappears*
-
Tim: we are, but we were separated at birth so she’s older now.
-
Cass: That’s a long story. So here it is! It all started in the summer of 1783…..
-
Tim: well, not until after the accident.
-
Cass: After the witch got us, no.
-
Tim: She’s actually a failed clone experiment. Or was that me? -
Cass: he’s actually adopted but we are biological twins.
- Tim: yes but we have separate fathers. - Cass: *Ditto from Pokémon sounds* - Tim: Well you see I was an only child for 15 years but around 1444 I was standing in the swamp, covered in frogs, but these frogs had human eyes. They also had human feet but that’s not relevant to the story— that’s when the biggest, Jeramiah, started to speak… - Cass: father actually summoned us from hell so we’re not related in any way except that we both possessed the same body for a while until Tim got a separate one. - Tim: I had one but she died five years ago this very day. She died in a tragic bathroom accident. Fell in the toilet.
maybe not every spider-man is trans but at least like… 12% of them are
