the way that everything abt carter and sadie’s personalities feels so grounded in their past is something i appreciate so much.
carter’s desperate need for stability plus his arc of becoming more comfortable being in positions of power and authority? so clearly come from his constant traveling and julius always being there to protect him while carter hides that it feels stupid to even point out.
sadie is rebellious and brash while having tremendous love+respect for authority figures like bast and bes not bc she’s contradictory, but bc she is so desperate for love and affection she didn’t get from her parents and is terrified that everybody in her life will ignore her, just leave her suddenly, or both.
it’s more than like contrast for the sake of contrast; carter and sadie’s differences feel real and fleshed out in a way similar foils don’t rly get in children’s lit idk
you know sometimes i do genuinely forget that damian is a highly trained child soldier/assassin and he was trained extensively in combat and was raised to be fearless, cold, & calculating... like sometimes he IS a bit psychopathic but he’s also just analyzing every single fucking detail about the person he’s up against and his surroundings... not only is he highly tactically trained but he’s also INSANELY intelligent & so powerful... like he’s a KID! sometimes he has a raging temper and other times he’s so disarmingly calm and sure of himself... that reads as something menacing & chilling and it’s so fucking interesting! combat that w his genuine empathy and caringness and how being a robin changed him too like. this kid will leave culprits alive and take innocents to safety (like saving cleo the cat and taking cleo somewhere safe) so you’re reminded, like a punch in the gut, that while he’s unbelievably capable, he’s also just a little BOY. he’s a CHILD

Where Reyna works in a coffe shop, and meets Thalia.
It was a hot day of summer, Reyna was sweating, standing in the cashier, fanning herself, looking at the empty café, the little place was hot, only a little window, small and impossible to open, the AC was broken, and won’t work for another week.
Thankfully, the day was to hot to go out, no dealing with rude clients.
The door opened, Reyna smiled, seeing her best friend walking in, Jason waved at her place, coming closer to the cashier.
“How’s it going?”
“Hot as hell, but no costumers.” Reyna sighed, looking at the empty tips jar.
“Same as always, for Piper and Leo too, they are in Leo the repair shop.”
“Lucky them,” muttered Reyna “Their AC is working.”
“I could bring some fans; Leo could build a small one.”
Reyna waved her hand, resting importance to the matter, making the beverage for her friends.
The door opened again, a bunch of girls walked in, loudly, the sat on the tables, one of them walking towards the cashier, all of them wore a leather jacket, Reyna catch the back of one of them, a half moon, with an arrow and a bow, were printed on it, the Huntress of Artemis, a gang of girls whom rode the country in motorcycles.
“Hey, Baby boy, could you move? I want to see the menu.”
The girl taking was tall, with short spiky black hair, a lot of piercings on her face, no make-up, something in her face looked familiar.
“I’m not a baby, Thalia.”
Reyna raised her eyebrows, dropping her eyelids, sending an accusing glare at Jason.
“I hope he’s not bothering you, I’m his sister, Thalia.”
“Don’t worry, he is a good guy, I’m Reyna.”
“I know, he loves to talk about you.”
One of the girls yelled, asking Thalia to stop flirting, Reyna blushed, finishing the order of Jason, ignoring the smile of Jason, full of mockery.
“I’m not flirting.” Thalia yelled back “But if you’re free this afternoon I could do it.” She added, winking at Reyna.
“She is free at six,” said Jason, while taking his order and going out.
“Do you want to go out on a date?” asked Thalia.
“If you’re not busy…”
“For a pretty girl, never”
@pjofemslashweek
i’ve been shot. stabbed. betrayed. beaten down and blown up. you think i’m going to give up now?
remembering how reyna was shocked at the amount of pain she felt when she was giving nico her strength for a brief moment because it was even greater than the pain she felt from her entire legion fighting against polybotes and drained her even more than sustaining scipio across the atlantic. he’s just 14. he should be graduating middle school/starting highschool, not keeping the pain and anguish of more than a legion of romans in battle inside of him AND having misery herself say he’s perfect.
rick what the fuck.
one of my favorite things is how the batboys are all close with essentially invincible aliens but the second they see the supers they’re just instinctively like hey how about i uhhhh jump in the line of danger for you anyways :)
Kaldur:
Dick:
Wally:
Conner:
M'gann:
Artemis:
And finally, everyone:
probably what I love most about young justice is how it perfectly conveys how fucking extra the bats are. like yeah that guy has gills and that guy’s a clone and she’s from fucking mars but y’know who’s an actual trip? y’know who’s an absolute goddamn nightmare?
Robin.
he’s not an alien. he doesn’t have any meta abilities. by all accounts he is a 13 year old child except his dad is fucking batman and he has all this custom built tech and crazy acrobatic skills and sometimes he just fucking vanishes without a word. like none of the team could even tell you what colour his eyes are and that is just the way he likes it.
the fucking bats man
