Yay More Magma Stuff Yayyyyy

@rated-r-for-fear and sent me this catcrumb comic with the comment “Nieyao” and she’s 100% correct.

Idk if anyone else remembers, but Batman canonically carries around Bat-cookies according to the Batman/Scooby-Doo crossover.

I LOVE to think Batman carries them around as snacks for Robin. I love it even more to think he uses said cookies to bribe Robin into good behavior in a similar fashion to Scooby Snacks.

Little Dick Grayson: I don't wanna go to some stupid Gala! U can't make me!

Bruce, in desperation: would u do it for a bat-cookie?

Dick: woah! Bat-shaped! Cool!

Bruce: andddd you can have another one after the party

Dick, mouth full of cookie: okay :)

Bruce, internally: thank fuck a parenting hack that works

Batman: stop! Don't kill him!

Red Hood: and why do I give a fuck what you-

Batman: would u spare his life for a Bat-cookie?

Red Hood:

Red Hood: I'm not a kid anymore-

Batman: they're fresh, look, still warm

Red Hood: ...

Red Hood: this works ONCE. This ONE time. Gimme that damn cookie.

Batman: of course

Red Hood: Fuck I've missed these what the hell does Alfred put in em

Bruce: go to sleep, Tim

Tim: I'm almost done-

Bruce: go to sleep now and you can have a bat-cookie

Tim: a what?

Bruce: a bat-cookie. See? Here, first taste is free. Try it.

Tim: bribery? Really?

Bruce: positive reinforcement

Tim: giving me treats like I'm some kind of dog?

Bruce: try it and then we'll debate the ethics

Tim [eats cookie]:

Tim:

Tim: okay

Bruce: Okay?

Tim: if I promise to sleep a full 8 hours I want two more and a glass of milk

Bruce: u drive a hard bargain but I accept

Dick: aw, c'mon, Damian. One picture. For me, to remember your first day of high school. Do it for a bat-cookie?

Damian: -tt- I've heard of these so-called "bat-cookies" Insulting. I am not a child. I refuse to participate in such an asinine tradition.

Dick: shame. Alfred made animal-friendly ones so you can share with Ace and Batcow. I guess they don't get any treats either, then

Damian: well

Damian: since it would please you so very much, I will overlook this patronizing lapse in judgment

Damian [tries one bite of cookie]:

Damian:

Damian: given Batcows higher food intake requirements, I will require at least a dozen.

Damian [takes another bite]: perhaps two dozen

Duke: you agree I did a good job today?

Bruce: yes? I suppose. Earlier, when you stopped that-

Duke: shut it. Don't care. Cookie me.

Bruce: excuse me?

Duke: I know about the cookies, old man. You've been holding out on me. The cat's out of the bag. I did a good job, I get a cookie. That's how it works, right?

Bruce: uh well

Bruce: that was a long time ago

Bruce: i had to discontinue that method after-

Duke: are you saying I'm not a valid member of this family because I was never Robin?

Bruce: of course you are! But I don't have any on me-

Duke: don't. Lie. To. Me.

Bruce: Okay! Okay. You're right, I'm sorry. Here, take it. Just... do me a favor, and don't go announcing to the whole cave you got-

Duke: YES. MY FIRST BAT-COOKIE! SCORE!

Every batmember in the vicinity: BAT-COOKIES ARE BACK????

Bruce: NO! stay back! Stay back you animals! Alfred! Alfred! It's happening again-

Alfred, sighing: I'll preheat the oven, sir

from a conversation with @guqin-and-flute about Cousin Dynamics irt their parents - A-Yuan is a very sweet and kind cousin and will be sympathetic over almost anything... but post WWX-return, no one has to put up with worse parental indiscretions than him, and he is not interested in hearing your pathetic complaints, alright?

also, like, A-Fu, considering that you have three whole dads in a triad long-distance relationship, and considering the very very complicated history between them, they have done EXCEPTIONALLY well to get you all the way to teenagehood before you got this very specific kind of trauma!

THERE HE IS

(You can find this comic on tapas / mangadraft and spoontasti’s fic on ao3)

You know what I hope we get to see? The coexistence in Will Byers of that kid being emotional as hell and tough as nails. 

He avoided Henry for a week while also communicating through lights and clawing at walls after being kidnapped, he resisted Henry’s possession for a long time and held out like hell even sometimes fighting hard enough to fade back in and momentarily snatch some control, not to mention living with those genuinely dangerous “flashbacks” for a year based on the season 1 finale as well as just living with the constant ability to feel him even after the possession ended. And you bet your ass he cries about that shit. And it isn’t despite the fact that he’s strong. It isn’t just not contradictory to the fact that he’s strong. It’s a big part of why.

Will didn’t lose himself. He didn’t go numb. He didn’t harden. Arguably one of the key differences between him and Henry is that he remained soft. He didn’t just fight to save his own life, he fought to save himself, a fight he continues every day. He is tough because he allows it to hurt.

There are two quotes that came to my mind:

“Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles, the grit of the cobblestones in her hair, and just spat out a tooth as she rises for another go.”

and

“Do you understand the violence it took to become this gentle?”

Interpret them together as you will.
