Back on my bullshit

I think of the first draft as an armature.

If I was making a beautiful bronze statue, I would need to make a clay model first. And, depending on the shape, before I even got out my clay I would need to get some good thick wire and create a basic shape for the clay to adhere to, so it doesn't all fall down. Once I have this essential 3D wire frame, I can start building and subtracting and refining.

But if I try to refine on just clay, it won't have enough of a core to hold it up. I'll sculpt a beautiful hand only to have the whole arm fall off and go smush.

The armature isn't the sculpture. It is the frame you build the sculpture around.

The first draft isn't the novel, it's a sort-of-novel-shaped thing that will hold up everything you build and beautify later.

He helps (while still trying to actively stop deans nearly cartoon level trying to kill himself bullshit) but the whole time he lets out a little whine of pain/horror every time she does something that shows she is a grown ass adult the same age Dean was when he got him at Stanford.

Bonus if we also get Jack deeply involved (who despite being god doesn’t have that kinda power over the empty so is pretty much just normal old Jack)

So this motley crew trying to rescue Cas is the daughter of his vessel who only just recently accepted him as a sort of guardian/step father figure. His son who is literally god but whose god powers are basically useless here. His brother in law best friend who is on the verge of constant tears every time his back twinges as he faces his age (which may I remind you plenty of hunters are the same age so it’s not even like he’s old for a hunter), with a side story of Dean trying to drink bleach every other night.

(And of course this rescue mission also somehow saves Crowley and Gabriel. Honestly probably like nearly immediately. Just to add onto the frustration of how difficult it is, but it’s ok cause they’re pulled into helping too)

Sunday Morning

we have omegaverse destiel at home | THE BOYS 5.05

bonus (likely thing for the world’s first omega to say):

Caduceus mentally "Whose gonna bury this guy when he dies? Everyone hates him, whose gonna take care of that? I genuinely can't think of a single person who isn't waiting for his death. Thats pretty sad. This guy is sad."

ten year old Tim Drake who already knew who Batman and Robin were, finding out he now has a secret tunnel in his garden connecting his house to their lair, and he’s just like ‘fuck yeah that’s cool.’ and starts exploring.

thirteen year old Jason Todd bored and fucking around alone in the batcave system when he comes across a fucking ten year old who knows his identity, clearly idolises the hell out of him, and is just kinda wandering around the cave system alone and completely chill about it. they see a super dangerous spider and Tim just starts info-dumping on the species. when asked if he has a curfew to go back home by he goes ‘uh, July i guess? that’s when mom and dad get back.’ it is early February.

thirteen year old Jason Todd who takes a minute and then goes ‘ok this is funny as fuck i promise i won’t snitch to Bruce.’

Jason Todd and Tim Drake being secret cave buddies. Jason Todd and Tim Drake hanging out in the tunnels and making fun of Batman and Nightwing from the shadows. Tim Drake who has to buy a whole new set of night-vision camera lenses for his new photo album that’s just photos and selfies of him and his new best friend Robin fucking around in the underground pitch-dark.

Jason Todd who dies, gets revived, is told by Talia that Tim Drake has ‘replaced him’ unknowing they’re already friends, and Jason who all he can think of is that time they played hide and seek in the cave system and Tim clung to the fucking ceiling via a stalactite for 45 minutes straight. Jason Todd who just looks at Talia and goes ‘yeah sounds about right for him.’

Jason Todd being told he has to deliver Damian to Bruce and he decides ‘absolutely the fuck not’ to the idea of even touching the front door. they have a Ring camera he is not getting caught on that bullshit.

Jason Todd who just goes to Drake Manor and uses Tim’s old entrance to get into the tunnels, his home away from home, dragging Damian along, until he gets to a spot where he can secretly signal into the batcave for Tim to sneak the fuck away.

fifteen year old Tim Drake who gets called into the tunnels to find the Red Hood, unmasked as Jason, presenting to him a random child which he declares to be the son of Batman.

fifteen year old Tim Drake who comes full circle and says ‘ok this is funny as fuck i promise i won’t snitch to Bruce.’

the cave boys are reunited. a third is added to the club. a new photo album is filled. when Tim brings Damian up through the tunnels into the cave he looks Bruce dead in the eyes and says fully straight-faced ‘this is your cave son. i found him wandering, he was born from the shadows of the bat.’

eleven year old Damian Al Ghul-Wayne who’s spent the past three and a half years under Jason Todd’s influence and sombrely declares ‘the cave birthed me for you, father. i am darkness. i am your child.’

*Superman looks around the battlefield and sees Jon fighting side by side with Damian and Kon knocking down invaders with Tim*

Superman: I uh... I don't think you do. Can you describe him?

Zod: Dark hair. Really smiley.

Superman: That doesn't really help. Jon's over there and Kon, who's more like a little brother really, is back there so...

Zod: Which of your sons named himself after a Kryptonian god?

Superman: Oh, you mean Nightwing! He's not actually my son, he's actually... I hate to say this but you really messed up.

*ominous green glow appears from above, casting a bat-shaped shadow over Zod*
