Last time out, Billy confronted the Weird, who looks like the corpse of his father making a o_O face.

Billy’s mom notices he’s gone from the backyard, but it’s the Eighties, so she assumes he’s just roaming around the neighborhood. Or maybe she assumes a supervillain kidnapped him, just to put a capper on the week of her husband’s death and his corpse getting vaporized. She’s not doing okay!

( This WOULD have been around the time Skyhook was kidnapping kids in Metropolis. Stranger danger! )

AO3 Link | Owed a Favor (100 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Batman [Movies 1989-1997]
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth
Additional Tags: Drabble, Post-Break Up
Summary:

Alfred is a bit disappointed.

Alfred raised one eyebrow at his charge arriving alone for the night.

"I presume the absence of Miss Vale is the reason you insisted on driving yourself to the date?"

Bruce grimaced. "She's got a prime opportunity to do some reporting in Hong Kong," he deflected.

"And were I to inquire on the ultimate ownership of the press agency she will be going there for, would I find it under one of our ledgers?"

That got silence and a pointed removal of his coat at first, which Alfred took.

"No," Bruce said, relenting. "But someone did owe me a favor."

BWAHAHA, 2012! YES!

For people running ublock origins, a link where you can read this: Batgirl (2000) #28.

I revisited this issue today because I refound this exquisite redraw of a page from it, which if you don't have Tumblr you can see here. I adore the redrawn and racebent Steph, and the whole thing feels like an expression of the purest form of fannish love I know.

I had forgotten just how gloriously kinetic Damion Scott's work is, and how much I adore Cass and Steph's relationship as it's developed in the issue. I don't think you need much backstory for this issue other than "Cass was raised in silence by a man who made her learn body language instead of spoken language." There's all sorts of other canon going on outside the context of the issue, but this one's pretty complete as it stands.

Current Mood: incredulous
Current Music: Never running from a real fight

I haven't done this meme since 2011, but I refound it today and had a good laugh, so here we go:

Give me a character's name and I will tell you three reasons why it would be terrible to try to date them, have sex with them, or be in a long-term relationship with them.

For an extra challenge, pick characters you know I'm fond of. Anyone can tell you reasons not to date Cthulhu, after all.

For reference, my fandom list.

Current Mood: oh honey no
Current Music: I wanna fuck Jean-Luc Picard

AO3 Link | Paris Trip (150 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Superman
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Lois Lane, Clark Kent, Perry White
Additional Tags: Drabble and a Half
Summary:

It's business; why's Clark nervous?

"Lane! Kent!"

Clark hastily put his pen down and stood up, taking that first stride and nearly bumped into Lois. He paused and made the gesture for her to precede him, not that she'd ever done much more than glare. He followed behind her, and shut the door at Perry's irritable wave at that.

"Yes, Mister White?" Clark asked after Lois's more irritated "What is it?"

"Talk to Daphne for tickets; sending you both to Paris to cover their reaction to the Euro Parliament elections," Perry said. "Try not to get off-beat on this one!"

Lois smiled. "Thank you, Perry."

Clark was suspicious of that sudden shift in her voice and mood, but he followed her out with a 'yes sir', to go see Daphne. Paris might be an interesting place to visit, without it being about world peace or saving the world.

Lois seemed to see it as good.

There's no way any of this is in the tag system, so just enjoy a sequence of pretty art and taut suspense from an old-fashioned Western.

I wasn’t sure whether to include this one, or quite where to put it. It’s from mid-1988, but it includes a mostly earlier lineup of Justice Leaguers. And it has a droll, JLI-ish sense of humor, but in the end, the JLI and Superman are secondary players. The Weird is the hero of his own life, and that life attains more meaning from its brevity.

( If only we could say the same for his 152-page STORY. This abbreviated form may be a better reading experience. )

Not much Lesla fanservice this issue, but we do get a Superfamily Thanksgiving spread.

AO3 Link | Not Babysitting (100 words) by Merfilly

Fandom: Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) [2020]
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Renee Montoya, Dinah Laurel Lance
Additional Tags: Drabble
Summary:

With Dinah hurt, Renee keeps watch

Renee played with the beer bottle in that way she had when she really didn't know what to say.

Dinah turned her head that way, one eye still shut. "Don't have to babysit me. I'm not nine anymore."

"Ain't about that, chica," Renee rasped out. "It's about standing with my chosen family, and yeah, maybe it's about picking up the pieces I dropped then."

Dinah closed the eye that was still working. "You couldn't have protected me this time, either. I chose it."

"Maybe. Doesn't mean I'm willing to step out on you."

Dinah half-smiled. "Alright then."

"Damn straight, alright."

Oh, boy, emails from everyone's favorite dead sex criminal calling Trump the worst person he knows, and the Trump defense is "But look how transparent we are!"

I have Ben Vereen singing Mr Cellophane with Muppets to console me, because now I want a vid of 47 to that song once the files are released -- not necessarily that version, but it's my favorite one to watch.

In other news, the comment threads on Ask A Manager's post about what to do if ICE comes to one's workplace made me cry with both rage, for the obvious reason, and hope, because people really are trying to help each other through all of this governmental horror.

Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: J'onn J'onzz | Martian Manhunter, Clark Kent | Superman
Additional Tags: Drabble, Episode Tag
Summary:

Ma wants to make a better one

"Ma wants the measurements this year," Clark said as he sipped a cup of hot cocoa and peered over at J'onn.

The Martian chuckled. "I still have the previous sweater, and wear it on occasion," J'onn pointed out.

"She wants to make one that fits you, in the form you are most likely to wear one," Clark rebutted. "Please?"

"Do you have a measuring tape handy?" J'onn asked with good humor, setting his empty glass down. His form shifted to that of a nondescript average guy in a fedora and trench coat when Clark produced it, so they could measure.

Clark, if there's one lesson I've learned from you ...

... it's that choosing the greater good is never a sacrifice.
