Jon being raised by his grandma means that he has old lady hobbies btw.
He enjoys knitting and embroidery, collects flowers to press and frame, grows plants anywhere he can fit them in his flat, is part of a book club (he hates most of the books they read) and a stitch 'n bitch, and he plays solitaire with real cards.
He baked a lot pre-avatar nonsense (that shit is time consuming, even in a nicer AU) and still has his grandmother's cribbage and chess boards and her vintage gramophone, even if he never uses it.
Jon has the spirit of an 80 year old woman and he's okay with that.
And little Timmy, well, he felt bad for that God. Years, centuries of work only to be forgotten?
It would be like completing homework four weeks early and having everyone forget he'd done it!
So from age seven and up, Tim would start praying to this God. He had the same name across multiple languages, and Tim opted to just use what all of those names would be in English.
Phantom.
What started at first as a side thing became his predominant religion by the accident of developing a habit and continuing it over years.
When he prayed to Phantom, he felt like he was being acknowledged in a way that praying to other gods just did not provide.
Even when he kind of went agnostic, he'd always toss up a little prayer to the Almost-Forgotten God.
He didn't expect, during a kidnapping courtesy of Joker after a rather shitty patrol, for said God to manifest in front of him and fight Joker with his fists.
Or; the reason Danny survived the portal accident (sort of) was because he was already in the process of being deified by someone who was alive at the same time he was, making Tim his only worshipper. Danny doesn't find this out until way later, and finds the guy who technically kept him alive to thank him-only to find him about to be tortured by a clown. Danny loses his shit.
Padme Amidalia asked AT LEAST once whether Anakin was into *her* or into her badassery. She was how he looked at Rex, decided it was both, and then proceeded to kick Palpatines ass in public for meeting with A 9 YEAR OLD boy when he was a senator.
Obi-Wan tells EVERY news station that asks that Palpitine KEPT ASKING until they HAD to say yes. Anakin reads it, thinking it’s about two different people and says that that ‘sleemo shouldn’t have EVER been granted access to a kid like that’!… a lot of things are put into perspective after that. Padme and Anakin bring Rex into their couple. Everyone is happy except Palpitine.
Jason: holy fuck… I’m stealing that.
Tim: fine, whatever.
Jason: I swear to God, if you cross me, they'll never find your body
Tim: And if you cross me, they'll never STOP finding your body.
Headcanon that when Tim first started as Robin, he promised himself that he wouldn't die like Jason, and then proceeded to live out of sheer force of will.
He gets shot in the heart or blown to smithereens, and fifteen seconds later, he is picking himself off the floor like it's another Tuesday. Won't even acknowledge it happened. The type of guy to slap a bandaid on a stab wound and walked away with a flat line on a monitor.
He lives out of spite, solely so he can look at his siblings and go "Well, at least I didn't die" whenever one of them annoys him. With the amount of improbable stunts Tim pulls, Damian doesn't even think he is human anymore.
(Bruce loves his son, but sometimes he adds holy water into the coffee maker just so he can be sure Tim did not join the demon realm. Jason is less subtle about pulling Tim into churches to see if he will burn and melt. He does it a grand total of 7 times before Dick hosts an intervention about how loving your brother means you have to stop trying to exorcise him.)
Give me unhinged Timberkon.
Give me Bernard stalking Red Robin the same way Tim stalked batman. Give me stalker Kon, who while stalking Tim when he's overwhelmed by the world, discovers Bernard and chooses to stalk him too- just to sus him out at first, but slowly it becomes an infatuation. He's listening to both their heartbeats at night.
Give me Bernard realising he's being followed because Kon isn't as subtle as he thinks. Bernard stalking SB back, creating a theory board dedicated just to him.
Give me Tim stalking SB when they're at the tower and he's bored. Tim stalking Bernard to make sure he gets home safe. Tim realising that he's not the only one keeping him safe when he spots a flash of red and blue and leather speed off and out of sight. Tim realising that Bernard has been stalking his hero persona, that he has several boards of photos and newspaper clippings about him and Kon, about the bats and the core four.
Give me Kon, who would die for either of them, put himself in the way of immense danger, become stupid and reckless in the name of protecting what he loves. Would sacrifice himself in every scenario to ensure Tim and Bernard are safe.
Give me Tim who would infiltrate the government for his boys, would do anything, hack anything to assure their safety. Would bug their house just to make sure nothing ever happened to them. Would go insane trying to bring them back if he ever failed.
Give me Bernard who would kill for them. Who would readily bloody his hands in the name of love if it ever came to it. Who would use everything he learned in that cult to ruins someone's life if they hurt what was his.
Give me timberkon who's love is so whole, so intense, that it cannot be contained by ethics nor morals.
Violence isnt the answer… unless it is.
Anakin: Ahsoka, pay no attention to them. The worst you can do to them is act like they don't exist.
Ahsoka, disappointed that she can't bite them: Yes, master.
-
Obi-Wan: Anakin, think. This isn't how Jedi behave.
Anakin, reluctantly relinquishing his grasp on his opponent's jugular: Yes, master.
_
Qui-Gon Jinn: Excuse me- do you think you can say that to MY PADAWAN?
Obi-Wan: Master, no.
-
Dooku, handing Qui a knife: Defend your honour.
Qui-Gon, shaking: I don't think this is how Jedi-
Dooku: I want no excuses.
-
Master Yoda, steadily pushing Dooku forward like he has wheels: MAKE HIM BLEED, YOU WLL
Dooku: MASTER NO
Yoda: A WUSS, A JEDI IS NOT
Sifo-Dyas, scrambling forwards: NO!!
Theres a moment of doubt as Luke brings his saber down on a slavers neck, teeth bared in a feral grin. And then he turns to the children, dropping to his knees with a gentle smile and its gone.
Theres a moment of doubt as Leia sneers down at an Imperial from her place on the senate. The anger she expresses when she finds out he was tortured in one of their cells makes it disappear.
I love the idea of people trying to hold Luke and Leia being the children of Darth Vader against them.
The idea is just so… funny?
Like, you’re going to tell Leia Organa that she’s a bad person? Leia Organa, who refused to give up the location of the Rebel base even when it meant her home and family were blown up in front of her? Leia Organa, who has only ever treated Vader like gum on the bottom of her shoe? Leia Organa, who has been apart of this rebellion practically since she was born?? You’re going to try and convicne me that she could be evil, just because a guy who didn’t even raise her is half of her DNA?
Or are you going to badmouth Luke Skywalker? Luke Skywlaker, who blew up the Death Star? Luke Skywalker, who singlehandedly makes Imperial remnants either run for cover or try to kill themselves? Luke Skywalker, whose best friend is an astromech droid?? That guy is destined for evil??
Just imagining someone trying to spin it against them, when really, their paternity is a point in their favour. These two who gave up their whole lives for the Rebellion, who spent years fighting what seemed to be a hopeless war, who are both so passionate and good that it is impossible to dislike them. They came from something so dark, and yet…
They coud use it as a metaphor, following the fall of the Empire and the beginnings of the New Republic. They could use it as evidence that people deserve second chances and not to be judged for what their parents have done. They could use it as yet another reason why they are way cooler than anybody else-
Like, I know that a few stories try and make it out to be this terrible thing that they try to hide as long as they can. But if the guy who blew up the Death Star and (as far as I know) killed the Emperor and who is singlehandedly trying to bring back the Jedi Order, known for being peacekeepers and great came up to me and told me that his dad was Darth Vader, I think I’d pat him on the back. Like, good job. Your dad sucked, but you really inherited his ability to pull of capes-
I can’t imagine finding out that Darth Vader had children and then wanting to prosecute those children. Not after those children spent four years fighting on the frontlines against Darth Vader. Not when those children are Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker. It’s just so unrealistic. Anybody who would want them punished for Vader’s crimes would take one look at Luke’s goofy little face or Leia’s little itty-bitty stature and immediately change their mind.
I'd like to write this, I'm gonna write this :) except Alex is gonna be so OOC and so is the monster. :)
so i was listening to "The end of the line" by The Stupendium and went- "hehehe train conductor alex" and it spiraled- SO
the "eaten" idea of the bad ending but alex remembers that clyde said it would eat them after freeing winfrey (and simon telling them about clydes different idea of care)- so when they do free winfrey, alex bails and stumbles across a old train station and tries to see if they can use it to leave eastridge and ends up accidentally making a deal with a monster that takes the form of the trains engine- feed it and be the conductor and alex gets safety, food, and shelter
and well- its better than getting eaten
He was lonely and bored. His wife leaves so often, why not have his nephew, his girlfriend, and his best friend stay here forever!
Hades offering them something to eat literally killed me. Hades is like "the smart one's gone" and immediately tried to keep them there forever.
