Kon loves asking for opinions his Outfit of the Day and Tim is tired (but not as much as he’s tired of the boomers at Wayne Enterprises.)

concept: no robin is the best robin; each robin has their own unique set of skills, strengths and flaws, and they all shine in their own way.

same concept slightly to the left: there is no “worst” Robin. They’ve all fucked up and made mistakes. None of this erases the good they do or the ways they shine.

i can’t believe i hadn’t seen this reblog! YES. absolutely! this, literally this.

Damian Wayne lecturing his father in Batman: Hush (2019)

my extremely talented friend @achinghcarts has been writing these beautiful little snippets around the whole paddy/eoin/augustin idea and thus has inspired me in turn to write something as well. so, with her permission, i kinda wrote eoin's pov from this beautiful ficlet ! so if you enjoyed that, you might wanna check out the writing below:

he never planned for this to happen.

he's in love with paddy - has been for years, pretty much since the first time they talked on the sidelines after ambrose's rugby match. he's known, almost since then, that there's something between them, something special. even if technically they're just friends, he knows there's more to them than that, he knows that paddy feels it too. which is why he's always been okay with waiting - stealing touches instead of kisses, lingering looks rather than lips ever present in their shared times. all of that is more than enough because at the end of the day he knows that they both know there's more - and one day they'll unlock the door to that, together. he has never wanted anyone else.

which is why he never planned for this to happen.

and maybe that's why he didn't notice.

maybe that's why he didn't notice his smile growing wider when augustin handed him his pint that night and sat next to him.

maybe that's why he didn't notice that, despite the rest of the lads having left, he just grew more comfortable when augustin's attention was solely on their talk, their banter.

maybe that's why he didn't notice himself leaning closer, his face growing warmer. why he didn't notice the way his eyes dropped to augustin's lips, or the way his voice lowered the more his mind drifted.

and maybe that is why he didn't notice the moment the gap between them closed enough for them to kiss.

and eoin never planned for this to happen, no. but christ did he like it.

he liked the way augustin kissed him soft, as if he were asking for permission, as if eoin were delicate.

he liked the way augustin kissed him slow, as if he knew eoin had never kissed anyone before and needed to be shown what to do.

he liked the way augustin kissed him quiet, as if he didn't want any sound to disturb the peace and calm eoin felt.

-- but something else does.

maybe it's because eoin never planned for this to happen, so the universe sent a group of rowdy teens to cheer loud enough to break their spell, make augustin pull away.

and eoin never really planned for this to happen, but as he stares at augustin, surprised and breathless, there's one thought that resonates within himself:

he wants for this to happen again.

Please help us!

My father and I are in a very precarious and complicated situation.

Let me begin by saying we live in Portugal so none of the information gets confusing.

My father is disabled. He's deaf and currently recovering from a full knee replacement surgery (after 6 other failed surgeries).

I myself am chronically ill as well but I'm the only caretaker he has and also his secretary and translator for anything official due to his deafness.

My father has been on medical leave for over 3 years due to delays in his surgeries, as soon as the three years ended in July, we stopped getting his disability pension (local law, disability can't go over 3 years or they cut the pension) and his request for temporary aid from social security until he can work again might take months to be approved and during those months we have absolutely no income.

Meanwhile I'm also waiting for several doctor assessments and reports to get disability aid as well but thanks to new pandemic rules everything in that area has been delayed for months.

Add to that that the magazine I worked for closed down months ago and that I'm finding it impossible to get work where I can still care for my dad in the middle of the pandemic, and the result is that my bank account is literally in the negative numbers and we're very much broke.

We still have a hefty house debt to pay that piled on interest from last year, not to mention health expenses, food, gas, water and electric bills, and we have to pay for a ton of paperwork and red tape to get my dad (and myself) aid again.

This situation is very complicated and social security, the general health department, and the IRS, are making us jump through all sorts of complicated hoops and the meanwhile until we can solve all this we have absolutely no income for the next few months.

The local social charity center is helping by buying our medication, attempting to help with electric bills and occasionally providing canned goods but we are absolutely desperate and have nobody to turn to.

Of the only two relatives that could help us, one hates my father for exposing corrupt business practices and dangerous worker conditions in his factory so he refuses to acknowledge us; the other relative wishes he could help but his wife's Alzheimer's got worse and now they have to juggle two maids and a nurse to ensure her well being so they can't really help right now either.

I'm still taking commissions for my fandom rings and willing to write oneshots or draw sketches for any donators who want them but there's been no interest lately.

I tried to summarize the situation as simple as possible but if you want further details, you can ask me on DM.

I hate having to ask for help and I know I've done it before years ago, but the situation was never this dire.

Please, if you can help in anyway, any little bit is appreciated.

TL;DR - government is making my disabled dad and I jump through crazy slow hoops in order to get aid and survive and while we wait for that to happen we have zero income and need all the help we can get to survive.

“More to the point - did you get that information I needed?”

“Yeah. Her name is Cassie Sandsmark. A thief, a grifter. A specialist in getting in over her head. But Interpol lost track of her when she entered the States.”

OR, despite the fact Jason was only gathering information for his brother and was not to engage, he ends up running into Wonder Girl more times than expected. That’s not necessarily a problem until their encounters start being a little less accidental and and a lot less fleeting.
