Jason Todd: Mob Boss?

bbrae child in disney?

So I was scrolling through bbrae fancomics and art as one does, and some of it was art of what their children would look like, and I kinda noticed a theme. Most of them take a bit from both parents, like light green skin from Beast Boy and dark hair and/or magic from Raven. Sometimes they'd have animal elements or be able to shift.

And yknow, there is a Disney character that literally fits the bill on all of that...

like, cmon, she literally has a pet raven named Diablo

tldr; Maleficent is basically a bbrae child.

Has anyone thought about how Anakin could've given Echo a spare arm? With all the stunts he pulls, I'm sure he has plenty.

Oh my gosh I love this! At least one of each Big Three would be out of their era, and I love the idea that the iceberg from the Titanic was a sea monster

Where's the daughter of Neptune, Rick?

Like, seriously, where is she?

All the Big Three have at least two kids, one Greek and one Roman, one male and one female.

Zeus has Thalia, his Greek kid who emulates his lightning, and Jupiter has Jason, his Roman son who channels the winds.

Hades has Nico, who is the stereotypical Greek son of the lord of the dead, and Pluto has Hazel, his Roman kid who reminds demigods that he is the god of riches too.

Poseidon has Percy, his great demigod son who is just like the sea.

Where is Neptune's daughter, the child of the Earthshaker, who makes the ground quake when she's mad? Where is the girl who has a greater affinity with horses than even Percy or Hazel, who wins any horse race she participates in? Where is the demigoddess who is so much more comfortable in a lake than in the sea, because Romans associated Neptune with freshwater more than the sea? The girl that the legionnaires always blame when a fresh drought comes in, who's shunned because Neptune's kids are considered dangerous to have around, who understands Nico di Angelo on a level that the Greeks don't get, because she's considered bad luck too? The girl that immediately volunteered to go with Jason Grace when he quested to kill the Trojan Sea Monster, because he didn't know the ocean like she did?

Where is she, Rick?

An Easter Egg for Ezrabine/Sabezra shippers

So I was watching rewatching Rebels and noticed that in S1E15, it's revealed that the stolen TIE fighter that Ezra and Zeb "got rid of" was painted by Sabine.

Old news, but Ezra knew about it and Zeb didn't. You know blueberry boy showed it to her trying to impress, and it turned into hang out sessions where Sabine painted and Ezra...messed around with a wild Loth-kitten.

And of course it became their tradition whenever they were on Lothal and space mom and dad Hera and Kanan were being a bit overwhelming or whenever they just needed a break. They got to bond more, and Ezra named the Loth-kitten Sniffles because it was allergic to a certain kind of Sabine's paint and kept sneezing (that she totally didn't stop using as soon as she found out, she's a hardcore Mandalorian what are you talking about).

A TIE fighter is...pretty big. Painting all of it like that would take hours and hours of time, hours and hours of Sabine and Ezra hanging out, free from their parents Kanan and Hera and the Empire, and just able to be teenagers with joint-custody of a wild Loth-kitten.

Did anyone else ever notice that the Underworld kids are excluded even in their names?

Like Jason, Thalia, and Perseus are all mythological names based on great heroes or goddesses.

And then there's Hazel, Bianca, and Nico. Not connected to mythology at all.

Wizarding Blood-Purity is a Sham

I think that a lot of people forget that Salazar Slytherin wasn't racist.

And no, before you go all crazy on me just remember in the second book, when fear and anger and all kinds of emotions were running wild and everyone distrusted Slytherin House, students asked a teacher about what happened. And that teacher, a ghost who for all we know could have been there when it actually happened, gave an honest answer.

"Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed that magical learning should be kept within all-magic families. He disliked taking students of Muggle parentage, believing them to be untrustworthy."

Look at the language. Look at it, and understand that Salazar didn't see Muggle-borns as inferior, as worse. He saw them as untrustworthy.

Why, you ask? Well Professor Binns answers that as well!

"[The founders] built this castle together, far from prying Muggle eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by common people, and witches and wizard suffered much persecution."

Salazar didn't like Muggles because they were hunting his family, his people, and persecuting them with horrific violence. He didn't trust Muggle-borns because how could he know that they wouldn't betray the magical world and tell their families that the kid two villages over practices magic with him on Tuesdays?

And yes, witches and wizards had ways to make it look like they burned at the stake when they actually survived, such as the Flame-Freezing Charm. But young children, with little control over their magic? If they were caught or exposed, well, it probably wouldn't end well for them.

Plus, wizardkind is outnumbered by Muggles, by a huge amount. If a village of Muggles who hated and feared magic discovered that a family of wizards and witches was among them, the parents would be burdened with trying to flee from a few hundred people while protecting their kids (who can't control their magic).

Salazar Slytherin didn't like Muggles or Muggle-borns. He hated them and feared them, not because they were inferior, but because they were dangerous. And while murdering children with a giant snake is not a good way to solve this danger to his family, people, and culture, it HAS to be seen that his actions were born not from arrogance, but from fear.

And there were Slytherins who knew this, long before Muggles had become so othered from wizarding society that some families started to believe that Muggles were inferior to those with "pure blood." Like Merlin, Prince of Enchanters, arguably the greatest wizard of all time, who founded the Order of Merlin to protect and aid Muggles, whose name has become synonymous with Muggle rights activisim. Merlin, a Slytherin.

If Salazar Slytherin was alive in the 20th century, he would laugh at the idea that Muggles were inferior. He would be the first to point out that Lily Evans and Hermione Granger, the brightest witches of their age, were Muggle-born. He would scorn the idea that pure-bloods were better, saying if that's true, why is Draco Malfoy, a pure-blood, second to a Muggle-born?

Salazar had questionable morals, to be sure (anyone who doesn't think so can re-read the Chamber of Secrets, where he hid a giant snake in a school full of children to murder the ones he deemed dangerous). But he never, never once thought that Muggles were inferior to wizards.

The Conundrum of Jason Todd's Autopsy Scar

Ok, so, recently I've been doing research on the different versions of Jason Todd and his life, death, and afterlife for reasons, and I stumbled across the discontinuity that is Jason's autopsy scar.

This post by pluckyredhead and this post by dailyjasontodd explain it pretty well, and when ruminating I realized that there is a perfect, literal explanation sitting in front of our faces.

Jason didn't have an "autopsy" if you mean someone performed postmortem surgery to try and find cause of death. That would have been impossible, since he most likely had a quick and quiet burial to hide his forensic ties to the Robin life.

No, what Jason had was experimental surgery done by the League of Assassins. I'm not an expert, but I think part of the reason Ra's al Ghul had an interest was because Jason came back to life for seemingly no reason. (and if that's not true based on current continuity or whatever, it's my personal headcanon anyway so)

Ra's wanted to figure out what made Jason live again. Part of that process would most undoubtedly include exploratory surgery that mimicked an autopsy, but didn't include permanent harm because they couldn't study what made him live if he was dead, right?

The scar is mostly fanon except for that one Robin variant cover, and most of the cause is to make Jason have more angst over his death and/or to freak out the rest of the Batfamily. But how much more angst would they, specifically Dick and Bruce, have when they realized that wait, Jason didn't have an autopsy, why does he have a scar, and then they find out that he has that Y-shaped scar because a secret league of assassins tried to cut him apart and dissect him to figure out how he was alive?

I don't think they would take that very well, to be honest. Especially if they found out that it was when Jason was catatonic, so no, there was no consent or anesthesia either. (and imagine the nightmares that Jason would have, not just of crawling out of his own grave and the Lazarus pit, but of being dissected alive and being able to do nothing to stop it)

TL;DR Jason Todd has a Y-shaped scar because the League of Assassins tried to dissect him, not because he had an autopsy in Gotham.

Game Idea

a subway surfers version with Ekko and the Firelights, cause idk why but the idea will not leave me

Jily vs Hinny

The way people say that Hinny is just a reincarnation of Jily pisses me off, tbh

Cause Jily? They're the "fell hard and fast" academic rivals to friends to lovers. Between Lily "sheer cheek and natural flair for potions" Evans and James "son of the inventor of Sleekeasy and co-inventor of the Marauders Map" Potter, you know that they were neck and neck in Potions grades. When James got a higher grade, he crowed as Lily steamed in the corner, and when Lily got a higher grade, she rubbed it in his face as he fell in love with her just a little bit more. Once they got past their "rivals" phase, they went from dating to married in less than two years - a bit fast, but everyone was eloping then.

But Hinny is completely jock friends to lovers. Like, Harry "youngest Seeker in a century" Potter and Ginny "secretly practicing Quidditch since she was six" Weasley were friends before the pitch, and at some points Ginny was Seeker too. The amount of ribbing and teasing on who did it better and "Nice shot, Gin, could have been a bit to left though," and "Of course, Potter, but make sure you actually catch the Snitch this time" thrown across the pitch. Their teammates were probably so sick of it. And this went on for ages, until they finally got together, and then the amount of pining that went on during the Second Wizarding War when they were separated, well. It took them years before Ginny (cause we all know it was her) popped the question.

Stop saying that its the same ship just because it's a black-haired boy with glasses and a redheaded girl. Both romances are completely separate, unique, and special.

tldr: DON'T EQUATE JILY WITH HINNY

I have learned that Sabine's Loth-cat is actually named Murley. So while Ezra might have originally called the cat "Sniffles," Sabine vetoed that idea mighty quick and gave the kitten a "name befitting the cutest member of the Spectres." Sniffles may or may not be used as a nickname when Sabine is not around :)
