I want you to remember:
The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.
Au fucking revoir Mister Prince
Does anyone have any Gotham Is Just Like That fic recs? Anything from a major plot point to something that’s stated as understood worldbuilding, nothing to see here.
What I mean by Gotham Is Just Like That:
-this fic I once read where a random old lady beat the joker to death with her purse and approximately 200 witnesses pretended to have not seen it
-yeah, yeah, the chemicals in the water, everyone’s heard of them
-Justice league tries to come to Gotham but the vibes are so rancid they have to leave
-“you got everything packed? Lunchbox, homework, gas mask, steel toe boots, pencil case?” “Oh no I forgot my pencil case”
-my prof was out so she called her friend from grad school Poison Ivy to teach class today and honestly she was a pretty good teacher
Etc.
I had to find this post. I read this in 2017 and it had a profound effect on me. I couldn’t stop saying it. It was echolalia. And now to this day, for seven years, I can still quote it perfectly Word for Word and often do when I do something stupid. This is the perfect post in my opinion 
i could watch brokeback mountain a million times and never not cry because it’s about the passage of time which is probably the saddest scariest thing in the world. they could have built a life together but ennis was afraid and he pushed jack away and there was so much space and time between them and then it was too late. the regret and the guilt and the being forced to grieve quietly….wishing things had been different wishing you had known better wishing there was still time, more time, one last time, any time. and the last scene i mean how doesn’t it kill you. One shirt inside the other like two bodies pressed together. shirts not worn in years. lost their smell. lost their purpose. like the fabric of a memory. it was TOO LATE do you understand….he could never get back there….to the good times. To his love. time kept moving on but their love never could. do you understand

backbeat is much more focused on john and stu's relationship (and stu being with astrid) than john and paul. that being said it was pretty interesting, and i thought they did a good casting job with actors that looked close to the quarrymen! kinda drags a bit but not that bad :3
OH MY GOD YES!!!!!!! FINALLY A MOVIE ABOUT STU!!!
i lied abt only posting abt this situation once, i just saw this lovely person’s comment!! passing it on to tumblr 🫡

Along the road heading towards the senkaimon, Renji who was at the very back of the group he was escorting, called out to Ichigo who was walking directly in front of him.
“……what is it?”
The distance separating them from the other three people ahead widened meaning their private conversation could not be heard.

Most sports books are like “I need to win championships so I can prove myself!!!” and then there’s The Foxhole Court where the main character is like “yeah so if I don’t win championships I will literally be executed because when I was 10 my serial killer father tried to sell me to a cult so my assassin mother stole $5 million from the yakuza and ran away with me, but it turned out that my dad was friends with the leader of the mafia, so now we also had a bunch of hit men after us, and almost a decade later my dad caught up with us and killed my mom and I faked my death, so I decided to join a college sports team to start my new life, but then I found out one of my teammates is a runaway from the cult my dad tried to sell me to, and not only that but the cult’s leader is the brother of the head of the Japanese mafia, so now both of them are after me too, and also the FBI keeps trying to convince me to testify against my father, but if I do I’ll have to go into witness protection because my dad’s friends will try to kill me and I can’t be a professional athlete while under witness protection, but luckily my uncle (who is the leader of the British mob) brokered a deal that will assure my safety if I win championships as long as I hand over 80% of my salary to the mafia for the rest of my life.” And that’s only the main character, I haven’t even mentioned how insane some of the side characters’ backstories are!
Basically this is the most unhinged book I have ever read and I love it so much

John and Paul aboard a ferry crossing the Mersey from Liverpool Pier Head to Wallasey. Taken during the filming of “The Mersey Sound”, a documentary made by BBC producer Don Haworth
good things will happen 🧿
things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿
what pic or gif/video do you think is the best example of john looking at paul like he loves him?
Oh, Nonny. Why are you doing this to me? Where to even start?
Well, we know that for the Sgt Pepper shots they were told to project love through the camera, and John... turned to Paul. So there's this.
There is this photo that Pattie took where she herself says, “Something was going on.” So... we can’t discount this.
But also, for some reason the gifs of the BTS of MMT really get to me. It’s so casually lovely and intimate. I joked the other day that I’m starting the rumour that this was when they fucked and India was actually just the beginning of the slow fall out. So anyway. These are very important to me:
Also, this photo is the one that Paul himself uses to prove to himself that he and John loved each other. So, we can’t really do better than that.
We have to talk about whatever is going on here. Sweaty, totally into each other. Disgusting. I love it.
Videos
I love the promo videos for Ticket to Ride and We Can Work it Out. The second one just sends me because the others are SO done. George literally gives up and sits down and John and Paul are just vibing away. LOVE IT.
Another one is this interview - John just looks besotted with Paul for some reason. I mean... we know why. But it’s so cute.
Finally, I can’t let this go without mentioning John looking out for Paul when he’s sick. Yes please.
See what’s crazy to me about John and Paul is that they could’ve had it all. If they were normal about each other, they could’ve realized, hey, we can both be married to other people and yet still be close friends who write music together. It doesn’t have to be either/or, if we just feel platonic love for each other and romantic/sexual love for our wives then there’s no overlap and no problem! Right? Right?? Unfortunately they were not normal about each other, they were categorically insane about each other, and if there wasn’t something deeper there, there was literally NO REASON for the kind of push and pull situation they had going to happen, no reason for their incredibly messy breakup with all that heartbreak and jealousy and mutual pining.
ao3 is facing a ddos attack from an overseas right-wing anonymous group because it contains "degeneracy and disgusting things like LGBT and NSFW".
they're not the only right-wing group that is attacking fanfiction sites because of queer & nsfw content. the Heritage foundation, the US right wing think tank that writes laws for republicans, wrote an article about how "big tech turns kids trans" in which they're advocating for the Kid's Online Safety Act to pass because it will give state attorney generals power to sue websites for "potentially harmful content towards minors". in this article they point out websites like wattpad, tumblr, tiktok, twitter as sites that GOP attorney generals can and will target for censorship if this bill passes. all places where fandom, that's mostly queer, hangs out.
if you think this bill has no chance of passing because of all the red flags it poses, think again. it currently has 38 cosponsors in the senate, and is being pushed by the democrats as a "protecting the children!!" type bill.
there are left-aligned orgs in congress rn lobbying for this bill to pass. july is extremely decisive, because if KOSA goes through to markup it'll be bundled with the Earn It act, Restrict, and all the other bad internet bills and passed as a package, completely censoring the internet forever.
if you want to learn more about the bill, go here. also sign the open letter against it here
it's ESSENTIAL that you call your members of congress, specifically Maria Cantwell (you can call from out of state) and tell them DO NOT PASS KOSA. this site here connects you to your members of congress and gives you a short simple script to read off of! super easy and doesn't take much out of your day! please do this now!!
If you r still doing the fic recs, what are some good Bruce and Jason ones? I'm going insane
HELLO. oh my gosh. you know, since exam month has officially begun, i should be studying, but like, why would i do that when i could be doing this instead? this is like. so much more productive for my happiness.
it's no secret i am not normal absolutely totally insane about bruce and jason and OF COURSE i will rec you fics of them. i have 150+ bookmarks of fics just centred around them so i really tried to narrow it down to a few of my favourites. if you ever need anymore please ask again!
what a truly disastrous tragedy they are. the blueprint i fear. no fictional father and son has impacted me more. jason and bruce fic writers lace their works in crack because once you read one, you are stuck forever. there is no escape. trust me. anyways!
don't take your guns to town by kreestar
batman comes home from a night patrolling to find a 10 year old jason todd waiting for him in his kitchen. across gotham, at the same time, red hood is stopped by a 25 year old bruce wayne.
MY NOTES: no one is surprised at all that the first fic on this list is time travel. the characterisation in this was insanely good especially between young bruce and jason i loved their parts. so bittersweet and the ending was lovely!
I Will Always Be There For You by squashflower
There's a closet in the manor that locks you inside. It has no lighting or heating or air conditioning of any kind, and Jason, safe to say, wishes he could burn it to the ground. Or shoot it. One of the two.
MY NOTES: there is just something so good about stories where it switches from robin jason to an experience mirrored by red hood jason and this is the perfect example. so so good.
all the small weights by sparkycap
When Batman gets hit with fear toxin, he worries about his Robins. His Robins think it's their job to deal with it. Jason wasn't aware anyone still included him in that group, but according to Tim, he's the only one available.
MY NOTES: fear toxin the trope that keeps on giving. best thing about this though is that the actual fear toxin is not the main part of the story, and i think it was handled so beautifully and maturely in a way i haven't seen before. i cried (twice).
-> just an aside, but i think you should read the other bruce and jason work by this specific writer. they're all insanely good.
Mermaid Tears by minnow_doodle_doo
And if real mermaid tears were what Jason wanted the world to have, Bruce would make Aquaman cry glass.
MY NOTES: teehee sorry for recommending ur own fic in ur ask minnow but this fic is just so sweet and special i need everyone to read it. a wonderful look into that all encompassing love bruce had for jason when things were much simpler for them.
Aftermath by ivy_and_ivory
Now: Batman is in Paris, pulled there by a case that extends beyond Gotham’s borders, when circumstances lead him to a badly injured Red Hood – who might hold the key to Batman’s investigation.
Then: The Red Hood storms into Gotham, begins to stake his claim on the criminal underground, then abruptly disappears – but only after he breaks into Arkham Asylum and leaves the Joker dead in his own cell.
Or: A study of why Bruce couldn’t kill the Joker, what would happen if someone else could – and how you move on from the aftermath.
MY NOTES: you know when you find a fic and you're just like. oh my god. this is it. this is exactly what i wanted. this is all that matters. yeah. that's this fic to me. im sort of obsessed with the idea of batman bonding with red hood without making the direct connection that it's jason.
A Straight Blade by Sparkypants
"What happened to your face?" Bruce asks, reaching his hand for Jason's jaw. "You're bleeding." Jason bristles, cheeks turning pink. "I cut myself shaving." He says, and wipes at the cut with the cuff of his hoody. Damian makes a clicking noise with his tongue, "I'm amazed you haven't taken your own head off." He snarks. Jason shoves his chair away from the table, temper flaring. "Well it's not like anyone ever taught me, is it." He hisses. He's five years late, but Bruce finally teaches Jason how to shave.
MY NOTES: i am so okay so normal about this fic. such a sweet little happy story but i was literally looking down at my screen squinting through my blurry vision because i was tearing up. the unknowing domestic simplicities of being father and son (hysterical sobbing)
Stargazer by LemonadeGarden
Jason Todd is seriously injured during patrol one night, and is forced to stay at the manor to recuperate until his injuries are healed. To pass the time, he makes a list of things he never got to do before he died. Except there's one small problem: most of them involve Bruce, and Jason doesn't really think Bruce cares all that much about him anymore. This is a story about how wrong he is, but I made it sad anyway.
MY NOTES: okay so i think the best way to end this post is with the first ever bruce and jason centric work i ever read that changed the chemicals in my brain forever. THIS is the fic that made me really latch onto their relationship and want to see that reconciliation and recovery. THE roadtrip fic ever.
*slams hands on table* SOMEONE GIVE ME A WHUMP FIC WHERE TIM IS RECOVERING FROM BEING JOKER JUNIOR BUT HE HAS LAUGHTER FITS,, AND AT ONE POINT JASON HEARS ONE AND STARTS LOSING IT AS WELL AND THE BATFAMILY IS SCRAMBLING BC THEY’RE NOT SURE HOW TO HELP BOTH AT THE SAME TIME
do u have any good qaf fic recs that takes place after the show ended. either bri going to nyc to see justin, or justin coming home
Hey anon!
These are some of my most favourite fics to read for britin in this qaf universe, I have tagged one story but please check out their story archive to see what else they've written. Some are continuing on from canon and some become AU. All these wonderfully talented writers capture their voices so, so well and for me it feels very realistic and true to how their story would continue. So I wish you well on your reading endeavour and make sure to give these amazing people lots of love in their comments because fic writing and all writing in general is such an art form and definitely not something I could do!
I would also suggest checking out the writers bookmarks where you can find other stories and fellow writers they love so you discover new stuff that way also.
I'm actually so behind in reading myself as I'm usually too busy giffing them I haven't had time to catch up, so I will be flooding their comments as soon as I can. I will tag some of the writers that I know are here on tumblr and if anyone else has any recs or wants to plug their own stories please do!

tumblr added another secret feature. if you make a post and just type "gullible", it turns it into a different message. tell me which one you got!
If the batkids had a podcast
Redhood: I was a pretty easy child-
Nightwing: You were.
Redhood: Straight A's and everything. Like, I would be hanging out with Batman- (laugh) I would be- You know right?
Nightwing: Yeah.
Redhood: Just chilling. No patrol day. And he would be like "what do you want to do?" and I would be like- "Read! :D"
Nightwing *chuckles*: "Homework!"
Redhood: "Homework!". And then- And then I fucking died-
Red Robin: WHEZE.
Redhood: I fucking- Don't be a easy child.
Red Robin (chocking): Don't be a good kid.
Redhood: Don't be a good kid. Start- I don't know– Start throwing shit on fire or something.
I adore Jason interacting with his goons, so I was wondering if you have any fic recs of Red Hood doing crime lord-y things? or just him interacting with the people of crime alley in general.
Ugh, no. I want some though. I know I’ve read some, but I can’t find them right now, and none of my searches yielded any results. I just want fics with Jason being a crime lord and having a bunch of goons and having to constantly pinch the bridge of his nose in exasperation is that too much to ask
Anyone else have any?
