4am and im thinking about a time travel/time loop au where jason is reliving his death over and over again. its been years since that day in ethiopia, and more than terror — jason is tired. he sees this same event, word for word, metal against bone, blood in his mouth every day of his life. reliving it is no different than seeing it every time he closes his eyes.
until, he notices that the jokers smile growing wider and more sinister might not just be his imagination. then the third, or fourth time the day starts again, the joker changes the script. he can't help but adlib an extra insult in between the torture, too high with power and glee.
and all of a sudden jason is revitalised. in just one second, it's no longer I'm stuck in this horrifying time loop, it's We're in this time loop and I'm not stuck with you — you're stuck with me.
jason discovers new ways to torture (hyperbolically and literally) the joker now that he knows they're stuck in this impossible infinity together for a unforeseeable stagnant future. it starts as a game, only because the joker hasn't yet realised jason's the only one playing. it's too late when he realises that jason can do whatever he wants, because the day resets no matter what, and they'll see each other and jason will be ready with a new way to get his vindication.
very quickly, jason looks forward for the day to start again. he's still got 42 plans against the joker he wants to enact, and he doesn't think his thirst for revenge it yet quelled.
except — a couple miles away, someone else keeps waking up too. this is his worst nightmare come alive. the universe knows no bounds of cruelty and he's barely hanging on to the thread. what is this, the fifteenth, twentieth time he's been forced to relive this horrible day? he can't do this anymore. he's always too late.
bruce can never save jason.
Diane and young!Rick

⚠️BRIEF BUT NOT INDEAPTH DISCUSSION OF R WORD⚠️
Okay I just need to put this here because I cannot stop thinking about it(which is what tumblr is for so yeah).
There’s this one Captain Marvel fanfic I read that’s unfinished. I can’t for the life of me remember where I read it or the name, but it was def memorable.
Basically Cap is accused of r wording a younger female hero(who I think ACTUALLY did it to him as Billy but never said anything) so the League gets worried that he’s been touching the YJ team and throws him out. Cap hides, not transforming and staying as Billy as a manhunt for cap begins.
Constantine is the only person who knows who he is and begs him to reveal his identity, but Billy won’t do it. He’s not mad at the JL for what they did, to John’s annoyance, but he’s still traumatized(I think there’s a scene where Aquaman beats tf out of him, like I said it’s been some time).
I’m just sitting here, thinking about Cap going into hiding and Billy just growing up watching everyone who doesn’t know absolutely hate his hero persona. There are wanted posters around the world. Heroes regularly try to find him. The few times he’s mentioned by one on the news it’s with total disdain.
His sister and Freddy are completely outraged by this but Billy can’t help but be understanding. It’s not like he HAS to be understanding for him to be a morally good character. He just keeps thinking in favor of the JL. He tells them that, realistically, no one’s going to NOT believe someone when they make such claims, especially if the apparent perpetrator looks like he could throw a tank. ESPECIALLY x2 if the person who made the claim is a teenage girl.
How would Billy live his life, only being able to help from the shadows? How would magic users cope with KNOWING, but being unable to say anything because it’s the ONE time their champion has ever given them an order? How would it feel like for the JL and YJ? Believing that they did the right thing, but still feeling a gaping hole in their ranks?
They’d chant that it was right, it was right, it was right. But why does it feel so wrong?
Would the JL ever find out? Or would Billy have to gain the courage to tell them? Or would someone else entirely spill the beans, whether to use it for their own gain, or just be so completely tired of their self-sacrificial champion?
How would the JL react? How guilty would aquaman feel? How horrified would they feel when Billy starts defending them instead of asking them to step a few paces back? How would they feel if he began ostracizing himself if he went back to work with them? Not being able to look anyone in the eye?
Now you can see why I can’t stop thinking about it😅
Billy being the guardian of the Rock of Eternity which holds many of the most evil creatures in the world like the seven deadly sins is hilarious to me. Probably not canon but in this au every few years he meets up with the other beings who watch over a bunch of dangerous sinners. They use the meetings to share any strategies or mishaps so they can help each other be more efficient but since they’ve all been around for thousands of years minimum, they’ve pretty much optimized their systems so they spend most of the time gossiping and hanging out lol.
the funniest part of mockingjay was when Gale was like, ‘omg Katniss, Finnick totally has a crush on you,’ and the poor guy was loosing his mind being away from Annie
Do you know in the DC universe how Tawky tawny is either a talking tiger , a talking tiger that stands on two legs ,or just a tiger . My favorite version of him is when he’s Billy’s stuffed animal. Because I think it would makes for some really funny scenes.
imagine that the justice league had a mission were they had to protect some little kids and captain marvel comes over and gives the kids stuff animal tiger and says “ I’m going to need this back, but if anything happens, he’ll protect you” everybody watching is like “look at captain marvel his so sweet”. Then later some villain is trying to attack the kids and the stuffed animal that Captain Marvel give the kids turns into a real life tiger and it starts fighting the villain. Everybody looking and thinking “wtf”.
after the fight is over, Captain Marvel goes over to the Tiger end it talks to him before turning back into a stuffed animal.
Somebody random says “cap wtf was that” and Billy’s like “oh, this” holding up the stuffed animal “ this is Tawky Tawny He’s one of my best friends I’ve known him since I was a kid he basically taught me everything I know”.
Lorelei is literally that bitch.
She Knew SHE fucking KNEW that Lisbon and Jane were in love but couldn't acknowledge it and she absolutely knew what buttons to push and she tap danced all over them just to piss Jane off when she was caught.
Lisbon was the perfect bait. You can say things about Jane, but he won't care. Needle Lisbon or make fun of her? Jane's got it out for you.
Johanna: Annie's eyes are blue?
Finnick: They're a sea green, more aquamarine than blue.
Johanna: When was the last time she smiled?
Finnick: This morning, we were talking about starfish.
Johanna: When's my birthday?
Finnick:
Johanna: When's my birthday, Finnick?
