Thinking So Very Deeply About That One Lady Who Got So Mad At Me For Beating Her On Duolingo That She

i was talking about this with maverick but this line in deadpool 2013 always struck me as interesting:

“fate delivered you to me” seems like an innocuous enough thing (if you ignore the bone breaking happening immediately after) but you have to remember that wade’s concept of a higher power is probably greatly warped by his awareness of a fourth wall. “fate” here is a standin for a literal written-down narrative (and, more broadly, for the writers). fate is a real existing concrete thing for comic book characters, whether they know it or not. it reminds me of this page from legion son of x where david, while not outright addressing the viewers, reprimands a hypothetical author (that he refers to as a god) and audience for condemning him to this by writing and reading on:

anyways. i like the line on its own, but when you examine it through the context of “fourth wall awareness as a substitute for religion”, it becomes way more interesting.

hate when people are like "trust your gut! listen to your intuition!" like okay well my gut is telling me every person i lay eyes on is hunting me for sport and my intuition is saying i should find a secluded cave and live there forever so what do you suggest i do with that information

12 year old, 4'4ft Jason: Tall people really act like they earned their height

17 year old, 5'10ft Dick: Short people really act like we stole their height

Bruce, internally: [don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh-]

[Years later]

19 year old, 6'2ft Jason: Hey, remember when I stole your height? Good times

24 year old 5'10 Dick:

Dick: First oF ALL, YOU SASQUATCH SIZED BITCH-

Bruce, internally: [DON'T LAUGH, DON'T LAUGH, DON'T LAUGH-]

this actually sounds like it'd be so fun to write tbh. itd be the perfect opportunity for a fairly well balanced angst/crack fic

Au where Jason is under the impression Talia told Bruce Jason was alive and just moves back to Gotham to get back to the life he missed. GED, college, part time job, etc. Runs into one of the bats at a coffee shop one day and is confused why they just fainted

Being hyperfixated on mcyt is so embarrassing. How do I tell people my favorite thing in the world for the past year 1/2 has been this guy.

Tim: You can say 'Have a nice day!' without a problem.

Tim: But you can't say 'Enjoy the next 24 hours' without sounding vaguely threatening.

Jason: How the fuck did you get into my safehouse again?!

literally them

was playing one of those competitive combat games (random dice specifically if anyone was curious) and i was thinking about how tim would absolutely be one of those types of people who is incredibly competitive and would start very one-sided rivalries with anyone. and i think it'd also fuel him to become too fucking good at the games he plays

tim, playing some random competitive game on his phone:

random user: beats tim's ass

tim:

tim: oh it's fucking on, bubble_jester17392. *proceeds to fucking grind HARD on the game, becomes OP af, then hacks the game to make it so that they match again and beats their ass*

and i also feel like sometimes he might do some low-level stalking of some people, depending on how much of a vendetta he has against them and probably also his mood tbh. i don't think he'd really go too much further than that, because he does has morals and he is not going to become a villain over a video game and he stands by that, but knowing who information about the assholes that keep beating him at snake.io or whatever makes him feel better dammit. not that really anyone knows about the vendettas other than maybe like steph or kon
