Dog Toy Plushies Have Fundamentally Different Souls Than That Of Regular Plushies. Unlike Regular Plushies,

when you think about it no wonder they called lucy the valiant, and i don't mean because she went to war. i mean because after the wars were over, she was the one on the battlefield, cordial in hand, tending to the dead and dying. she was the one with so many lives in her hands. she was the one having to make the call about who was gravely injured enough to be healed and who would keep suffering. lucy the valiant. lucy of the fire flowers. lucy of the healing hands. the queen who walked among the dying and tried to bring them back to life. how much must that wear on a person? on a little girl?

really, do you think peter's decree not to carry it into battle often was to spare the cordial, or to spare his sister?

Dick Grayson's unmatched success as a child vigilante makes a lot more sense when you remember the Court of Owls was a thing and that Dick was meant to be the next Grey Son.

There is no way that someone at Haly's Circus wasn't there keeping an eye on him while he grew up. A future weapon needs to be trained and monitored after all, and a circus, a place where weird skills are completely normal, is actually a great place to secretly train a child.

You know, just some knife tricks that translated really well into actual fighting. How to get out of restraints and pick locks while under a time limit. Death defying acrobatic stunts that coincidentally do wonders for parkouring. That sort of thing. Nothing that seems out of place for a boy growing up around circus performers to learn, but would literally any where else.

I mean, while I fully believe that most kids would want to kill the man responsible for their parents deaths, Dick was weirdly prepared to go through it. He tracked down Zucco with way more ease than any normal child should have too. He became the first child vigilante, for goodness sake. The first Robin! He only started getting formal training after he basically forced Bruce into it!

Bruce himself has no idea that this kind of competency in a child is unusual, considering he was much too blinded by the similarities between his and Dick's tragic orphanhoods.

Alfred is in a similar boat because he’s desensitized to weird children after he somehow managed to successfully raise Bruce 'The Batman' Wayne, so he doesn't clock the hyper-competency as abnormal either.

By the time the other batkids start popping up (Jason 'The Audacity' Todd, borderline-street rat with no fear) (Tim 'the greatest stalker in Gotham history' Drake, child genius, also bullied his way into becoming Robin) (Barbara 'raised by the only uncorrupt cop in gotham' Gordon) (Stephanie 'daddy issues and spite' Brown) (Duke 'Pretends he's the normal one and people believe him' Thomas) it's too late.

It would also explain how Dick got along so well with Damian out of all of them. Similar childhood with different approaches and all that. On some subconscious level, Dick recognises and resonates with the murderous ten year old assassin with strong familial ties to a secret elite assassin organization.

It isn't until after the whole Court of Owls and Grey Son reveal that suddenly Dick realises a whole lot of things about his childhood that suddenly make a lot more sense.

It's tiring, arguing with foreign dignitaries. Even after replacing the Fire Nation ones to people loyal to him meaning he at least doesn't have to argue with them as well, it's difficult. Chief Hakoda tries to work with him, at least, and the Northern Water Tribe delegation isn't usually actively working against him, but the various Earth Kingdom ambassadors are hell to deal with.

"At least our Kingdoms aren't ruled by insane, child abusing tyrants," one of the more temperamental Earth Kingdom men hisses at the Fire Nation woman he's arguing with. The entire room falls silent. Zuko's head snaps towards the man, gaze intense. Hakoda is already half out of his seat, ready for a possible fight. The servants have frozen. Once the shock wears off, the Fire Nation people look furious. They're proud and loyal people, after all.

Zuko, after taking a few measured breaths, asks, "Are you implying something?"

He doesn't understand how the conversation devolved like this. All he'd done was tell one of the scribes to make a note that he'll need to talk with his ministers about changing something else to the mandatory coursework for the schools. The man had muttered something about the Fire Nation not caring about its children and the woman had taken offence.

"If I may, Your Highness?" the servant next to him, a young girl not much older than him, asks quietly. Zuko nods his consent. "The Fire Nation regards children as gifts from Agni himself. They are to be nourished, loved and protected at all cost. What Ozai did would have led to a civil war, had the greater public ever found out."

"Do not speak on issues you have no knowledge of," the woman who'd originally been arguing added viciously. "Ozai was a cruel and despicable man as were Azulon and Sozin. As were most of the high ranking officers in our military. But they were chosen specifically for their ruthlessness and lack of soul, and do not represent our nation at its core. We are proud and sometimes angry people, but we are also kind and warm."

Finally some good fucking news

Imagine washing up on Dinotopia and getting a talk saying "unfortunately, you can't escape this island! You'll never go home or see your loved ones ever again" & then while you're crying they say "I'm sorry, you'll just have to live on the island of dinosaur communism for the rest of your life" and you look up through your bleary eyes and go. Wait what
