Hey Wes, I Heard A Rumor That You Were A Decedent Of A Ghost. Is It True?

Look to your left. The first thing you see is what you would hoard as a dragon.

Condoms. I am the safe sex dragon

I got a tired nurse who tells to rest and take my meds. Better than something evil, but I'd still get the place. It's Gotham and she's nice, I have no complaints. Best roommate I've had

You're about to close on your very own, suspiciously affordable and comfortable house. Just before you sign the contract, the realtor shows you the required legal disclosure: your new house is haunted by the type of presence you'll get from this spinner wheel.

Of course it is.

THE ERA OF VANISHING HAS BEGUN

They are not arresting people. They are vanishing them.

Rumeysa Ozturk wasn’t read her rights. She wasn’t told why she was being detained. She was walking to break her fast in Somerville, Massachusetts when masked men in an unmarked SUV pulled up, took her phone, slapped on handcuffs, and dragged her into a vehicle like she was some kind of national security threat.

She’s a doctoral student. A Fulbright scholar. A trauma researcher. But in Donald Trump’s America, she fit the profile: Muslim, foreign-born, sympathetic to Palestinians.

Now she’s locked in a for-profit detention center in Louisiana, hundreds of miles from her lawyer, after a federal judge specifically said she wasn’t to be moved.

They moved her anyway. Because rules no longer apply to those with badges — real or fake.

A MOVEMENT BUILT ON CHAINS AND COWARDS

Alireza Doroudi is gone too.

He’s a doctoral student at the University of Alabama, born in Iran, studying mechanical engineering. No criminal record. No warning. Just scooped off the grid.

ICE refuses to say where he’s being held. No public charge has been announced. His only crime appears to be existing in the wrong body, from the wrong country, in the wrong era.

Mahmoud Khalil was next — a Columbia student, arrested for leading pro-Palestinian protests. Trump labeled him a “radical foreign Hamas sympathizer” on Truth Social. Days later, he was gone.

Jeanette Vizguerra was taken from her Target shift in Colorado, chained at the waist.

Alfredo “Lelo” Juarez, a farmworker organizer, was dragged from his car at dawn in Washington. His window was smashed by federal agents. His voice silenced.

These aren’t isolated incidents. These are deliberate acts of political intimidation.

They are testing the system — testing us — to see how many people they can disappear before we stop calling it democracy.

WHEN ICE IS A BADGE — AND A COSTUME

While the real ICE disappears scholars, organizers, and mothers, the fakes are circling like vultures.

In South Carolina, Sean-Michael Johnson posed as an ICE officer. He pulled over a van of Latino men, screamed slurs, jiggled their keys, and knocked a phone out of someone’s hand. “You’re going back to Mexico!” he shouted. He wasn’t an agent — but he played one with conviction.

In North Carolina, Carl Thomas Bennett used a fake badge to sexually assault a woman at a motel. He told her if she didn’t comply, he’d have her deported. He held up a counterfeit ID and pretended to be the state.

And in Philadelphia, a Temple University student in an “ICE” shirt tried to storm a dorm building with two accomplices. They were dressed for the part, intoxicated by the illusion of authority, emboldened by the climate.

This is what happens when the state makes cruelty a brand. When a badge becomes a fetish object. When the line between enforcement and cosplay disappears altogether.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS THE CRIME

Let’s stop pretending this is a coincidence.

This is a unified strategy. The Trump administration is using ICE like a personal strike force — targeting international students, protest leaders, organizers, and mothers with surgical precision.

They invoke secret designations. They bypass due process. They manufacture pretexts out of thin air and rely on the fog of bureaucracy to hide the blood on the floor.

The point isn’t law enforcement. The point is deterrence. Spectacle. Control.

This is what political cleansing looks like when it’s dressed up in the language of national security.

They’re showing the world that resistance has a cost — and the cost is your freedom, your voice, your visibility, your future.

SILENCE IS CONSENT. AND WE ARE LOUD.

There is no middle ground here. No fence to sit on. No neutral position when people are being kidnapped in the name of the state.

ICE doesn’t need your applause. It needs your silence. Every time a student vanishes and the media shrugs, every time a woman is cuffed and the public looks away, the machine gets stronger.

They are daring us to ignore it. They are counting on our numbness. They are betting that we’ll keep scrolling.

We cannot let them win.

This is not border policy. This is not visa enforcement. This is not safety.This is authoritarianism with a PowerPoint presentation.This is fascism disguised as formality.

This is the state stripping people from the land and pretending it’s order.

Let the record show:

They took people.

And we did not look away.

We saw it.

We named it.

We raised hell.

And we did not stop.

DIE CLOWN!!!!

Give me a Tim that's the difficult child.

Like, Jason’s dramatic, Dick's angry, Damian is his father’s son, Duke is an angel, Cass is easy to work with. Give me a Tim that's difficult without trying.

Tim goes out of his way to avoid spending time with his family, even to his own detriment. Tim didn't spend that long as Robin, and out of that time, not a lot of it was actively by Bruce’s side.

Tim refuses any and all of Bruce's attempts to parent him—he figures if he's gone this long without a hands-on parental figure, he can go the rest of his life just fine. Tim hasn't listened to a single adult in his nineteen years of life and doesn't plan to start now.

He never shows up to Sunday brunch unless actively threatened and/or wants something. "Missed his family"? Never heard of her.

Tim lies often, believably and shamelessly to Bruce; it's a constant game of galactic dance dance revolution trying to pick out the truth, because Bruce knows that if he accuses Tim of lying about something he didn't, Tim won't be particularly offended but will take it as an excuse to not visit for the next three months.

He and Bruce’s dynamic works so well because Bruce doesn't really Know him and Tim likes it that way. They don't argue because Tim doesn't even ask for forgiveness, much less permission.

Out of all Bruce’s kids, let Tim be the one he can never vouch for. He would like to think that Tim wouldn't slowly skin a corrupt judge to get information, just to dump him off with Jason to finish the job, but he can't be sure.

Tim's siblings say, with conviction, that he would and has, because Tim drops in at their places regularly. They know him, and if they're being honest with themselves, he's the most likely to go to the dark side.

Tim that chafes under every single one of Bruce’s rules and as a result only works with Batman when he has to.

Tim loves from afar, because that's how he was raised. His parents loved him from other continents, most times, and that's his attachment style. That's how he learnt to love; it doesn't matter that he doesn't come home for holidays. He sends gifts and cards. He can love you and keep his distance.

Tim that loves by trading information and weather checks and tracking his loved ones and photo albums full of candids he took of you.

Tim that accepts Dick's hugs and Jason’s gruff affection and Damian’s sharp love and Duke's movie nights and Cass' odd gifts that appear in his apartment randomly, because he knows that's how they love and he's nothing if not adaptable.

Tim that isn't quite sure what Bruce would expect from him of not perfection, and strives for it daily.

Just. TIM THAT LOVES IN HIS SPECIAL MESSY WAY

Part 2: Doesn't work. Danny's parents are freaking out, they already failed once with Vlad (which is how AFO became aware of their work) and if it doesn't work, there is going to be dire consequences (like being turned into Nomus). So Danny goes inside the portal and to fix it (maybe he has some small energy quirk that he thinks will power it/or he's just quirkless), and gets ghost powers. Danny sees what AFO is doing is wrong and keeps his powers a secret so he can start putting a stop to him

the best part about this is actually how it ties to DP and sets itself in the BNHA universe. I could see this happening and it seems perfect!

Ha ha Danny gets to not be normal still
