hobie spent the necessary amount of time within a tyrannical system to learn its inner workings, subtly instigating and stealing guarded tech, all while agitating its leader with his mere presence. and when the system finally showed signs of imploding because of an anomaly, he skipped out just in time. not so he could ditch what looked like a difficult, unwinnable conflict, but so he could regather his resources and use what he stole to help put together a team of rebels. ones who are fully willing and capable of attacking the system from the outside and defending/protecting miles from miguel.
and that's spider-man, not as a friendly neighborhood hero, but as a revolutionary.

Hey it's just me and my new obsession.
C𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 are Violet and Xaden from 'Fourth Wing' by Rebecca Yarros.
Okay so there's this idea for a fic I've been thinking of.
The jl are combating something that can only be touched with magic, jl dark is unresponsive (they got stuck in another dimension again), and cap - their only other magic user - is too injured.
But when they start stressing cap just slams a sheaf of papers of the table like 'pick between yourselves what powers you want, it's one each. Ig I'll sponsor you for today'.
Everyone: what?
Cap, spreading the papers to show each has a letter... Spelling out a magic word?: I'm serious. Do you want a cool new power? Consequence free? For as long as you need?
Batman:... Are you saying... You can... Give out powers?
Cap: my powers, yes. Flash, put Mercury back. That's pointless.
It'd be a great chance to have him explain his powers as a sort of reveal, including why he doesn't do it (it divides his power equally and thus severely weakens him). Also it would be very funny, I think, to see the jl in colour coded marvel suits being basically patroned by Billy. Batman has a blindingly white cowl. Flash has a cape. There's so much 'wait this chill childlike guy from some random city is actually insanely powerful' potential.
But also:
Batman, slowly pinwheeling through the air: how do I steer.
Love the movie, love this beautiful family.
My (hopefully first of multiple but considering how slow I am....probably only) submission for the June Maribat Fluff Event! The prompt I picked for this was #19 Hyacinth: playfulness, sport.
I headcannon that Dick and Mari are long lost siblings and this is some candid shot of them having sibling bonding time by playing around on the acrobatics equipment that I'm sure is set up in the Wayne manor SOMEWHERE.
Someone, probably Stephanie (idk she's just who I see doing it) happens by and decides the scene is too cute and wholesome NOT to capture for posterity and post on the internet for lols send to the rest of the bat family. So standing on a balcony thats at viewing level (I imagine Bruce converted a ballroom or something when Dick was young still and left one of the misicians' balconies so he and Alfred could "supervise." Really Bruce just enjoyed seeing Dick so happy, he'd bring paperwork up sometimes and just enjoy the sound of Dick giggling in the background while he worked. And Alfred enjoyed seeing BOTH of them happy, the decor in the little balcony study was always the cleanest in the house as a result.) Steph just shouts "hey! say cheese!" At the top of her lungs and Mari and Dick just look in the direction of the shout with their big stupid grins still in place, mid swing.
Steph posts the picture on her Instagram with an appropriate caption and copious amounts of emojis and stickers, the fam melts over the cute. Bruce frames it, and makes sure that Alfred gets one too, each has a copy on their bedside tables and there's one on the mantle in the most used family room as well. Dick and Mari are too happy to care that they're trending on social media and continue their game of air tag.
There will be a drabble of my backstory for them soon, but it's not going to be nearly so fluffy (and thus not part of the fluff event). But there will be happy family feels at the end! So be on the look out for that too.
Hope yall enjoy and everyone is healthy and safe.
(P.s. forgive me, I've never drawn Dick before, nor do I draw men much in general, lololol*sobbing* I'll learn eventually. And backgrounds, one day.......)
Edit: @june-of-flower-fluff I think I did this right?
Yall wanna hear a kinda funny, kinda sad story about my grandmother and hetero-normativity?
Ok, so... when my grandmother was in her 50s (I was an infant), she met a woman at the Unitarian Church. And, as can happen when you meet your soul mate, this event made it impossible for her to deny parts of herself that she had fiercely hidden her whole life.
All the drama- their affair being found out, the divorce with my grandfather, the court battle over who got the house, happened while I was a baby. Even in my earliest memories, it's just Mama Jo and Oma, and my grandfather lived elsewhere (first his own apartment, then a nursing home, then with us.)
But here's the thing- no one ever explained any of this to me. No one ever sat down and was like "hey, Rosie, so do you know what a lesbian is?" It was the 90s. It was Texas. I think my mom was still kinda processing all this, and just assumed that like... I was gonna figure it out. Don't mention it, let it just be normal. Like I think my mom thought that if she explained the situation, she would be making it weird? I dunno.
But like. In the 90s, in all the movies I had seen and books I had read, do you know how many same sex couples I had seen? Like. 0. Do you know how many "platonic best friend/roommates" I had seen? A lot. I had no context, is what I'm saying.
I literally thought this was a Golden Girls, roommates, besties situation until I was like...I dunno, 11? 12?
It was actually their parrot, an African Grey named Spike, imitating my grandmothers voice saying "Johanna, honey, it's getting late", that triggered the MIND BLOWN moment as I realized that *there's only one master bedroom and it only has 1 waterbed* when all the pieces finally clicked.
Anyway. I think it's a real important thing for kids to know queer people exist, for a lot of reasons, but also because kids can be clueless and it's embarrassing to have your grandmother be outted by a parrot because everyone just thought you'd figure it out on your own.
Anyway, here is my grandma and her wife, my Oma, after they moved to Albuquerque to be artsy gay cowboys and live their best life. They helped run a "Lesbian Dude Ranch" out there (basically just with funding and financial support. As Oma has explained "traditionally, most lesbians don't have a lot of money" so they wrote the checks and let the younger ladies actually run the ranch.)
