^"He Was Right, Of Course." (/she/them) Seriously Though Me Too He Had It All Figured Out

there may possibly be one slightly hinged bat but sadly he is usually busy dusting Wayne Manor

I love when comics imply that Jason is a common gossip topic in vigilante and criminal circles.

Like in Batman and the Outsiders (2019) #6, when Jefferson says "From what people tell me... [Batman] gets kids killed."

And in Gotham War Red Hood, when Simpson tells Jason "they say he trained you."

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

I feel like this has to end in a variation on a closed loop, right? Of the 'dude vanished bc his son went back in time to save him from vanishing' variety. Except instead of just getting pulled forward Odysseus is compelled to take the slow path for the sake of his future family.

Having never considered the concept of a highschool retelling of the Odyssey until that one post mentioned them in passing, I'd like to give my own pitch: the Odyssey meets Back to the Future meets whodunnit.

Odysseus is the central figure of the story, of course. He is also one of those high school protagonists who is inexplicably surrounded by half a dozen girls, because emphasizing that aspect of the Odyssey is funny to me. There's Penelope, his actual girlfriend; popular girl Circe; poor little rich girl Calypso; freshman Nausicaa; and Athena, who is older and solidly in bro territory with Odysseus, but still adds to the overall effect of him being surrounded by girls. (Is she a goddess? Idk. Probably she has some other kind of power, like riches or genius or both.)

The cast is rounded out by some of his Odyssey crewmen, maybe a few Iliad Greeks, and Telemachus, a new kid at their school who quickly becomes friends with Odysseus. For about half the story, things focus on slice of life, Odysseus's schemes, and the students' various personal problems. Incidents from the Odyssey are nodded toward, but not directly retold.

Then you get the Back to the Future part with the reveal that Telemachus has traveled back in time twenty years, with the help of future Athena, to solve the extremely cold case of his dad's disappearance by investigating his high school life.

Future Athena was only able to discover that someone from his high school circle was involved; in their time, there were just too many roadblocks set up between her and the truth. And she can't get inside access to those events as her adult self. So it's up to Telemachus to get to know his past parents, investigate their friends, and chase down the clues to discovering where his father's been all his life.

...While hopefully not raising the suspicions of his teenaged, but still infamously clever, parents in the process of this totally straightforward and not at all emotionally taxing mission.

Tiny alien gets a pet

I always found Molten Man amusing for how quickly he speedran his descent into villiany. Especially since he's not a criminal beforehand, just sort of a jerk. Normal Dingus to Straight-Up Supervillain in, at most, 15 seconds. Dude's face heel turn was a pirouette.

This series has singlehandedly cured me of my tendancy to roll my eyes at canon divergences...

Update: just listened to the suggested soundtrack and hey guess who just solved a lifelong mystery about what song is in a heirloom musicbox. This series, HONESTLY.

Geralt x Dandelion (Jaskier) in The Witcher books Masterpost

I thought I would make a masterpost for my "I Can't Believe It's Not Fanon" (otherwise known as..."facts that sound like Geraskier fic writers made them up but are, in fact, book canon") series.

I will add to this post, so rb it and keep an eye on it. I have at least one more big post coming up.

Geralt rescuing Dandelion from kidnappers (and slaughtering and threatening a bunch of people for him)

Geralt plays it cool, but secretly loves Dandelion's singing

Geralt and Dandelion Domesticity (sharing beds and clothing)

Geralt and Dandelion Domesticity (pooling money and Dandelion bullying racists)

Geralt is Dandelion's specialest boy (Dandelion defending Geralt)

Dandelion is Geralt's Most Important Damsel (Geralt defending Dandelion)

Geralt and Dandelion patching up each other's wounds

Geralt learning Dandelion's real name

Sweet quiet moment of Geralt asking Dandelion's advice (and Dandy begging him not to kill a dragon)

A doppler turns into Dandelion to protect itself from Geralt and it gets more interesting from there.

So the tag is I Can't Believe It's Not Fanon, and I also do a series called Canon or Fanon in response to asks. But since the tag system on tumblr isn't great, there are the biggies. Just thought I'd make it a little easier on you guys.

I feel it must depend on your definition of salad, which at its broadest (a dish made of ingredients tossed together and/or suspended in jello) can be stretched to cover literally any food.

if you could only ever eat soup or salad for the rest of your life, which would you pick?

Soup, there's a variety of soups and if i had to choose one it would be tomato soup my Dad's recipe
