How to be well-read without ever having to read anything by a white man ever again

Queer Desi Lit

In Batman & Robin 18, while going through Damian’s things, Bruce finds this note.

The idea of Clark sending Damian a list of movies he might find inspiring just rips my heart out.

The movies include titles about adolescent rebellion (On the Waterfront, Rebel Without a Cause), kids overcoming major odds to become successful and heroic (My Left Foot, The Miracle Worker), movies about justice, compassion, and heroism (To Kill a Mockingbird, China Syndrome, Gorillas in the Mist, Cool Hand Luke, Lawrence of Arabia).  These are tough, challenging movies, not patronizing kiddie fare.

There was pretty much no hint before that Clark had the kind of relationship with Damian that would prompt a note like this (they met once in canon that I know of)…I wish I knew the story behind this.

(This was a beautiful issue by Tomasi and Gleason, by the way).

Memories

Waking up, Jason was sweaty, shaking, remembering the worst moments of his old life like nightmares, the fight with Krios, the titan, taller than him, holding a golden sword, Jason cutted the Titan’s cheek, the ichor in his gladius, his own blood falling from his face, the romans, all of them fighting, thanks to Reyna’s powers, Krios, too sure of himself, standing without armor, the force of Reyna keeping him wake.

Weeping the tears, Jason sat on his bed and wrote the dream, sobbing under his breath, feeling guilty for forgot their names and faces, the people that raised him, the kids that played with him, all of them were erased by the power of Juno, his patron.

After writing down all of his memories, the sun started to rise, the light of Artemis’ cabin turn off, people went to the pavilion, the nymphs serving breakfast, Jason walked to the Hephaestus cabin, Nissa giving a nod, helping Jake Manson to walk, the boy still injured, using a cane to walk.

“Good morning, Superman” say Leo, stretching his arms, the hair of Leo dropping water, wearing a new orange shirt, his tool belt around his waist.

“Morning”

Leo and Piper always knew when was a bad night, and they always tried to comfort him, but the best idea was from Leo, a dream’s diary.

“You know man, you look bad, like, really bad, the Hypnos cabin would help”

“I have a date with Piper”

“S’ cool, but, can you wait to ask her to be your girlfriend in two days?”

The smile of Leo was devil-ish, his head started to smoke, the water of his hair evaporating.

“Your hair is burning”

Leo shaked his head, the vapour going away.

“Would you do that?”

“Why?”

“All of this people love to bet, so I bet you will ask her out in two days”

“Piper know about this?”

Leo smiled, nodding, getting closer to Jason.

“She gave me the date, we will share the profits”

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

What do we look like, homicidal maniacs?

Polyam day

Piper woke up, her limbs tired, her eyes itching, she didn’t remember how she got home, the last thing on her mind was studying in the library, a horrible migraine during a horrible day, thankfully, today was better, just her body sore.

The door opened, soft steps around the room, the curtain moving, a crack of sunlight entering the place.

“Morning babe, how was your sleep?”

Reyna was at the window, her hair loose, long, falling at her back, a towel around her neck, barefoot, she was brushing her hair.

“Let me.”

Piper sat on the bed, stretching her arms, holding the brush on the nightstand, brushing Reyna’s hair, kissing her neck, quickly, smiling at the blushing of her girlfriend.

“Are you fine?”

Annabeth entered the room, holding a tray, scramble eggs, waffles, a cup of chocolate and a glass with a flower on it, leaving the breakfast on the bed, she climbed on and kissed Piper, a chaste kiss on her lips, other kiss on her nose and one on Reyna’s cheek.

“Yep, better than yesterday,” answered Piper, putting the tray on her legs, cutting a bit of a waffle “but, how did I get here?”

“Leo found you knocked out on the library, we brought you home, made you take a bubble bath and put on pajamas.”

Piper smiled, feeling cozy, looking at her girlfriends.

“I love you, both of you.”
