hii, can you write a headcanons for kimi as being boyfriend of a model? tysm!
world apart yet we fit
kimi räikkönen x model!reader
Tumblr media
kimi, despite his stoic exterior, secretly keeps every magazine cover or spread y/n is featured in. he has a hidden folder on his laptop titled "the most beautiful smile" which is just y/n's modeling photos.
y/n knows kimi hates attending galas or award shows with her, so she finds ways to make it fun for him. they create a secret game of counting the most outrageous outfits or spotting the most bored celebrities.
kimi isn't the most vocal with his feelings, but he always makes sure to pick y/n up from the airport after a long modeling trip, no matter how early or late it is. he has the biggest bouquet of flowers in his hand along with her favorite take out.
kimi knows healthy eating can be difficult during long modeling shoots. he preps little care packages of her favorite trail mix and healthy snacks to sneak into y/n's luggage.
kimi hates crowded restaurants, so after a race weekend, they have a tradition of ordering takeout from their favorite local place and having a movie marathon in their pajamas (which are matching).
y/n hides little notes with motivational quotes or silly jokes in kimi's race helmet before qualifying or the main race. eg- "my icemean, show them hell xoxo y/n/n"
kimi pretends to be grumpy when y/n gushes about him in interviews, but secretly he loves it. he'll catch her eye from across the room and give her a small, genuine smile.
y/n knows how much kimi values his privacy. she never forces him to be on social media with her, but she might sneak a goofy picture of him relaxing at home into her instagram story every now and then. (he pretends to be annoyed but secretly adores the attention).
kimi isn't the best gift-giver, but he always remembers those little things y/n mentions in passing. he once surprised her with a rare book on a finnish artist she'd admired from afar and he got it for her.
y/n encourages kimi to reconnect with his finnish hobbies. they spend summer afternoons going for quiet nature walks or fishing in the finnish countryside, just the two of them.
kimi, who hates flying, will conquer his fear and accompany y/n on certain shoots if it means they get to explore a new location together.
y/n knows kimi isn't the most expressive with words, so she's learned to read his emotions through small gestures. a raised eyebrow means he's proud of her, a small squeeze of her hand means he's happy. but kimi surprised her and with the help of sebastian as him teammate, he became more expressive and comfortable with pda.
after a particularly tough race, y/n will find kimi sketching in his notebook. it's a little-known hobby that helps him de-stress. she'll sit beside him in comfortable silence, drawing circles with her finger on his bicep, just being a calming presence.
they have a tradition of celebrating each other's victories, big or small. whether it's a podium finish for kimi or a major campaign booking for y/n, they clink champagne flutes (or milk if it's late) and celebrate each other's achievements.
kimi hates the male models who get to comfortable and makes it a point to stay as close to her as possible, causing y/n to jokingly call him her guard dog.
kimi and y/n adore eachother to the end of the earth. he calls her kulta <3
🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️

my take on challengers
1. not about the movie itself but i'm so excited for what seems to be the first occurrence of monoculture in a while it's so fun to all be talking about the same thing and it not being t swizzle related
2. i'm so sorry for this but i don't think zendaya has enough gravitas to carry the movie. like she's very good as the alluring figure you're attracted to right away but as soon as she starts speaking i can see the wheels turning in her head and it's clear to me she's not embodying the character as a person with a past and memories as much as emulating whatever emotion tashi's supposed to feel in a given scene. this is even worse in the "present timeline" scenes like i just did not get 30yo mom who is bitter and dissatisfied and weary at all her body language was the exact same in every timeline when she's supposed to be at very different stages in her life
3. continuation of the preceding point but there's no triangle if all three relationships aren't equally as entrancing!!!! and to me the scenes between art and patrick were a 100% more interesting than any of the scenes they had with tashi individually unfortunately. i just didn't get anything from zendaya
4. i like that the attraction between art and patrick was implied BUT it could have been taken further imo. we see patrick swiping (left or right i don't remember) on a guy on tinder so we know there's something going on there but what about art???? are we just supposed to think tashi repressed him so bad he just forgot about it??? (and yeah the final scene yada yada. i know. but still it felt like it still went unacknowledged for quite a while)
5. some of the editing choices were bad ie. the timestamps which were unnecessary after the first time (we could tell by the length of their hair!!!) and the slomo at certain points (when tashi was walking down the alleyway like it was a runway with her fuckass bob 😭😭😭)
6. the score fucks trent reznor and atticus finch you will always be famous
7. josh o'connor. how do you do it
8. blood orange during the almost threesome was so good. i need to know who is responsible for this
9. the non-chronological storytelling got kind of cheap for me at the end. it kinda did a disservice to the movie because it made it hinge on a bunch of big reveals we all had guessed a while ago so quite unnecessary in my opinion (and yes i know the back and forth is supposed to mirror a tennis match but to me this is style over substance and not in an interesting or original way)
10. all in all this is a fun movie but not quite all it's made out to be.....i think it could've been stellar if we'd had a real trio and a real presence at the center of the movie which i don't think zendaya can be quite yet!!! but ykw. we let keanu do it twenty years ago and we're letting john david washington do it now so zendaya should be allowed to as well!

Rogue Love Triangle
I am loving the Rogue-Remy-Erik love triangle so far. It has been complicated by *spoilers* deaths and disappearances, but it just all goes to strengthen and make Rogue a more complex character. The cartoon version of Rogue is the most complex and strong version of her and X-men 97 is just adding to that. No offense to Anna Paquin, but movie Rogue was too young and still not confident. We never got to see her grow into the sassy, strong willed woman we see in the comics. She is not only super strong, but has this inner fire that is super attractive and interesting.
I am one of those that don't mind Magneto as a love interest despite the age gap or the fact that he was an enemy for so long of the X-men. It just makes him a more interesting and complex character. He might not be end game, but I like matching him up with Rogue. He is very intelligent which make their conversations interesting and he is focused on a mission which adds stakes to their relationship. Magneto is fascinating by himself and is a dynamic character big enough to fill Professor Xavier's shoes. In Erik's eyes, Rogue is recognized as being the powerhouse we fans know her to be and is seen as his equal which is no small feat. With Magneto, Rogue becomes a Queen, not just a girl in the X-men. With Remy, there is deep love, but it's all fun and games.
On that note, I am huge Romy shipper and I loved Episode 5 and Episode 7. It made Remy into a hero and was particularly emotional for me. Rogue learned how much she truly loved Remy because Remy is her best friend. In the comics and cartoons, Rogue and Remy are really each other's best friends. They are Southerners who are full of life and full of regrets. They both have shady pasts where they were selfish or misled into fighting on the wrong side. Sometimes you overlook your best friend or take them for granted, but a big part of why Romy works or is so beloved is because they truly love each other whether or not sex was in the cards. They get each other and there is no one else that truly does.
I can't wait to see how the next few episodes play out!

is anyone going to talk about the blatant antonio/bassanio/portia parallels in the andrei/goncharov/katya dynamic and how scorsese literally said in interviews that he wanted certain scenes to have a shakespearean feel to them or do i have to write the meta myself

host by dog park dissidents, and any jrwi character >:3c (if you would rather tho, you can do an OC ^-^ i don't mind)
:DD heloo!! good song!! (no big cw's for this one, but there's a fair amount of cursing and Price riffs on Chip being queer like once bc. insecurity.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"One meal token says you can't make that jump," Reuben leaned against a drainpipe next to him, casual despite the considerable height beneath him. He brushed a stray section of hair behind his ear, raising a brow in Chip's direction.
"Oh, I can absolutely make that jump. But I don't need to prove it to you, asshole." Chip leaned out over the gap between buildings, holding onto the windowsill behind him with one hand. He let one of his feet dangle over the gap, the laces of his old boots swaying in the wet spring air.
"That sounds like you owe me a token, bitch,"
"I'm not a bitch!" Chip popped himself up, closer to the windowsill, and swapped hands, falling back into a half-dangle.
"I don't see you hopping that alleyway, though, do I? Really seems like little bitch behavior."
"I'm not your trick monkey, Reuben. Why don't you jump it if you're so insistant?"
"I don't have to prove I can hop it, I have all the tokens!"
"Yeah? And I have the apples we took last night," Chip smugly shifted, letting the bright red apples catch the light in the mesh pouch at his hip.
"If you're scared, you can just say that," Reuben crossed his arms, "I wouldn't be surprised, anyways,"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing. Just that I wouldn't be surprised if you're bitching out because you're pissing your little gayboy pants." Reuben wiggled his brows, cocking a cheeky grin.
"I'm not-- I didn't-- Reuben, I'm not fucking afraid!"
"Which is why you're holding onto that window like it's going to run away, right?"
"I'm not a bitch! Gimme the token," He swung himself around the windowsill and held out a hand.
"Uh, uh! Not until you hop the gap!"
Chip sighed, rolling his eyes, "Fine." He hauled himself back up and twisted, smearing his feet up the brick wall that now stood in front of him. He swiveled his head, looked, calculated, and aimed-- then leaped over a 3-story drop and rolled onto the roof of the next building over. He threw his arms up triumphant, "How's that for a bitch, bitch?"
"Not bad. Not really worth my hard-earned meal token though." He grinned, aiming his body toward another nearby roof, "See you at the soup kitchen tonight, bitch!" He hopped off, landing neatly on the tiled roof and hopping over to the next-nearest building.
"I-- Hey! Reuben! Get back here, asshole!"
"Go find your boyfriend or something, gayboy! I got shit to do tonight," Reuben twisted in the air, dropping down a story onto a windowsill. By the time Chip caught up, Reuben was lost in the crowd of the marketplace below.
"Asshole."

So like. I'm demisexual and demiromantic and. In general I never thought much of it in terms of "how it might effect forming relationships." Because while yes for me, the crush will take months to even exist and so will the sexual desire, the actual process on my end Appeared Similar to me on the surface right? Like... I find a person who's aesthetically okay or nice, who seems to be fun to talk to or hang out with. I ask them out, or they ask me out. We go out on dates or hang out as friends and wait to see if things get "serious." Which on my end, apparently different from their end (but I never thought about it much), was waiting to see if I'd even want to touch them or them to touch me. Seeing if I'd eventually feel butterflies and get excited that they looked at me and get all warm and fuzzy inside thinking about how cool and sweet and awesome I think they are. And if after a few to several months I felt nothing? I guess call it quits and be friends, or not even friends if we didn't even click that much. And like... I figured from the other person's end, people date and take things slow getting to know each other ALL THE TIME. Its not particularly weird if I don't want to kiss until we go from dating to committed. It doesn't really matter much if I actually like them or not until 3 months later, if the results of liking them don't really Have to progress until we are committed. Then yeah, they may want to be physical or be mushy, and by then I'll be on the same page as them so it's fine.
Absolute ramble about demi dating below ToT (obviously very colored by my own experiences and not universal to others by any means)
But :c real life is messy and unfortunately it does seem my feelings being different than theirs? Does make things kinda not what I'd hope. See, in real life, I would Hope if someone likes me and worries i don't like them they would SAY something instead of silently feeling rejected. Instead, people tend to silently think "I didn't get a first date kiss! They see me as only a friend! Better move on! (Even though THEY asked me out on a romantic date, so they said they want to date, the lack of kiss is a sign they don't want to date after all! Even though they Said Nothing of the sort)." Or they think "oh i think sex is normal after a month of dating, but my partner still hasn't even joked about sex or kissed me... yeah I guess they don't desire me, I'm gonna get serious with someone else who does" when like... goddamn all those people would have to do is... tell me what they are concerned about and let me answer. Yes, it's okay if they WANT a partner who kisses on date 1. That's fine to stop seeing me for. But if they don't really care about when a kiss happens, they just want to know I really Do want to be with them? They could've asked and assuaged their fears with the truth. And this kind of implicit stupid guessing game of X action or lack of action means Y even though my partner NEVER SAID ANYTHING goes on and on.
I'm straightforward and honest. I feel something or worry, I say it. If I didn't say it then I'm not thinking about it or going to act on it, because I think it'd be stupid if I acted on something I don't even try to communicate about first. Now to be fair, as I get older and people are more mature, communication patches up such situations a little better.
But just a little.
I've had a friend tell me I need to start telling people I'm demi on a first date AND tell them i need X months to get to know them before we can get X Y Z intimate. Which is kind of a shock to me, because I know some allosexual alloromantic people who wait to kiss until full on marriage. But I have to thoroughly explain why I need to wait a few months to kiss, or taking the seeing each other casual like friends for a while first, because otherwise people will just assume I'm uninterested??? Why is it an alloromantic who wants to wait a year for marriage is fine. But whatever, I'll take the advice next time and say I'm demi and explain. Said friend also said being demi means I may seem unavailable so maybe that's why I attract the unavailable who don't want relationships anyway and... oh boy. I don't even know how I'd go about fixing that. I can communicate Gratuitiously More, like to an annoying degree more so there's no doubt I've brought up how much I'm very much INTO long term dating for a partner I deeply love lol. But. Great. Great problem to have.-.-
Also as I've gotten older... I've realized the stuff I thought were full on lies like "falling in love in a week" might be real for alloromantic people. Like? I always figured you date casually to get to know someone, judge their compatibility and safety (red flags or green), and get emotionally attached over time. So the casual period when you are NOT committed is so if you see something incompatible or yikes, you can stop seeing them BEFORE you're so emotionally attached it's too emotionally painful to leave them easily, even if they are hurting you. I had no idea that for some people, genuinely, they feel intensely attached from the first few days and even though they're also looking for a good compatible safe partner... its extremely hard for them to ignore their intense fond emotions even if there's red flags. Also it now makes more sense to me how someone can "love someone one week then next month another." If you're alloromantic maybe a rebound really does work stronger: you struggle to break up with lover 1 due to strong feelings (or maybe alloromantics fall out of love as easily as they fall into it I have no idea), but you can meet a new person and quickly feel STRONGLY for them, which helps move on from the last one. Versus me who takes months to love (and trust me unfortunately lol demi ppl can fall for abusers too, you don't screen out red flags even given time to judge without strong feelings, if you haven't addressed your own trauma and the things you unconsciously gravitate toward ToT). So when I break up its like cool ill be unable to feel a crush for 6 months to 1 year at least. (Though I'm sure a demi person could rebound fine, there's such a thing as a crush on 2+ people you've known for a while, one relationship could end with another person around you also have a crush on etc).
Back to my point though about alloromantics. So like, they CAN love fast. And then comes the potential issue. I ask a person out, and will need 3+ months to crush (and more to fall in love). They either don't immediately like me, but if they do develop a crush it'll be faster than me. Or they already like me. In either case if they ever like Me, they'll like me sooner than I like them. Then they notice I don't get as obsessed with them or as horny or as clingy or as gushy. They might worry its not mutual. If they're dating multiple people, this might be when it's time to focus all love on another person who's acting just as crushy back. Or of they're dating multiple people, this is when other options may appeal more. If other dating options already like them, then that attention and gushing may make the other person more appealing for them (fair enough everyone likes to feel wanted). If they're dating no one else, they may still feel they aren't being given enough romantic intense Honeymoon stage attention, and not want to wait a few more months for it from me. If they NEVER like Me back, then I may appeal to them at first since I won't Honeymoon stage love dump on them or expect them to do it back. And they'll potentially leave me when they DO meet someone else they like. So we wither never become exclusive, or when I finally like them its one sided because I now have feelings for them but they've never liked me and never will. I'm just a placeholder for them until they meet someone they Do like or who gives them more of whatever they're looking for. So not a mutual love partner.
The alternative of course is make friends and only ask friends out once I already like them, so that I'm in that Honeymoon stage at the start of casual dating. So the other party feels wanted, feels intensely desired, and I'm acting like an alloromantic in the first stages of dating. The problem with that route? Is if I made friends, and we were friends let's say 6 months? An alloromantic probably doesn't like me if by then, they never developed a crush. They may not ever like me (wooh). Or, because they're alloromantic, they've fallen in love with one or a few people by then, and are already in a relationship. This second option is how crushes on friends have gone: I finally developed a crush, they're dating someone else. They're finally single, rebound with me since i ask them out when theyre single jnowing theyre likely to immediately get in a relationship again if i dont ask them out while theyre still single, then they move onto another person because it was more about them getting over their ex than liking me. And again, if they had liked me they couldve broken up and asked me out. Now of course, alloromantics can probably develop a crush years into knowing someone, instead of right away. So in theory they could meet me and NOT like me, then in a couple years if I ask them out, gradually develop a crush then. So far? I haven't experienced it. I know it's possible though so wooh for the people out there going through this dating route, I wish you luck on finding love.
Anyway so its just like... while on the surface I used to think oh, demi doesn't really effect the dating process! That's unfortunately naive of me. Logically I don't think it should, if everyone talked and communicated their feelings and wants and expectations and checked in about it regularly. But I had my assumptions on how things worked, and alloromantics have theirs. They don't know everyone else isn't also operating on the same implicit expectations! Just like I didnt realize they operated on theirs! I didn't realize a person might stop seeing someone just because they didn't get intense attention in a Honeymoon stage within a certain time frame. I didn't realize that if my dating partner Doesn't Expect me to do that, its possible they don't like me at all and therefore don't care if I show I like them or not. I didn't realize no one was going to say anything about these unspoken expected norms. I'm still not sure I have a solution for this either.
I'd like to say, my new solution could be telling new potential dates I'm demi, I need X time to get physical or gush emotionally, and then maybe ask to be friends first so if they have a crush on me the LACK of me gushing emotionally isn't weird because friends generally hold that stuff back. Then date once I feel something, so I can fulfill that expectation of flirting and emotionally involved when an alloromantic Expects such things to match their level of engagement. I'm not sure it'd work though. My gut says an alloromantic, if told to be friends for a few months first before dating, would potentially prefer other partners who could flirt/be physical/gush emotionally over them quicker, and would prefer someone they could immediately Express their happy crush feelings to and know they'd be returned (like saying compliments and holding hands and kissing and desiring each orhers attention Very Frequently). Alternatively, my gut says if they did still find me appealing if I ask to be friends first? Then either they have no feelings for me and enjoy the idea of an easy dating partner I'd be in a few months as they might think I'd have low expectations of them in exchange for them getting to Not Be Single, or they'd have feelings for me and be hoping unconsciously for an unavailable partner (which I'd represent as the unobtainable person who can't be dated for X amount of time) so things would go fine until we started dating and the person realized they didn't Actually want someone who mutually liked them.
-.- my anxiety of course, at this point, would love to tell me to research endlessly HOW to solve the problem. I'm aware that's my self destructive tendency whirling lmao, wanting me to read stuff that has no concrete answer but lots of conflicting confusing ones that no person can implement all the answers I'd find at the same time. And knowing I'd try to implement the contradicting advice, inevitably fail because it's impossible to do conflicting advice, then blame myself for being unable to solve the problem.
Because in reality... at least as far as I know (if you have an answer HELP me lol)... only thing a person can do is communicate a lot and as clearly as you can. And hope in good faith the other person does too. And then it's down to luck that you meet someone who does like you, and is willing to figure out how to make it work with you even if it's not the route they usually take. Even if it means a few weird months for them with no kisses or no intense-emotional-ttention from your end except purposeful friendly attention you give to try and match their effort. Then maybe, if someone really thinks you're nice and would like to try and see if it'd work out, they stick around and really date you for a while.

something i love about writing / metaing / thinking about kav.eh is just how complicated his personality is considering how many self-aware contradictions he holds. like, hes aware of how being naive is as good as securing your death in the type of life he lives but still falls for a keychain scam for the sake of helping others, continuously goes into the desert in unsafely conditions for himselr despite having a deadly fear of such a place following his fathers death, believing himself to be lacking of any dignity despite consistently giving away every possession and any piece of himself / his time / his spirit to everyone around him. refusing to make money in any place apart from architecture but still allowing his clients to treat him very cruelly, stressing the importance of him moving out and setting fully on his own two feet but spending the money / gifts on those around him the moment he recieves .... (the list goes on here)

Now it's my turn to grill you about twisted wonderland dating options
Between Malleus and HiMERU?
And between Vil and Shu? 🎤
God... You had fun with this one didn't you ya devil /j
Though it pains my soul because I absolutely adore Himeru as a character I... I have to say Malleus. He's just... It's just like you said at the very least for now he's well mannered he shows he cares and cares deeply and yeah he's a bit awkward and doesn't really understand his own feelings well (and at the very least from some of his lines you can infer he's definetly lying to himself about some of them just to cope, at least imho) he doesn't really wear the same sort of mask Himeru constantly has to out on. I feel like while Malleus confusion about his own feelings might make it difficult to get closer to him he isn't actively putting up a wall (like himeru would do) and just by talking eventually he'd get used to it and would be able to express himself a bit more freely. Also he's chill I'd listen to him rant about gargoyles and grotesques and I'd accompany him to walk around decrepit and desolate ruins any day. We'll cross the bridges of "this means your royalty now" and "your life spans are wildly different how will you cope" when we get there... Probably.
*inhales*..... Okay the difficult one is now god you're evil. They're just... They're like different flavors of the same person god what am I going to do... (Also I love them both extremely how dare you make me chose). Okay so... After thinking a lot about this a lot (I got this ask while walking my dog about uh.... Two hours ago I've been thinking about it ever since), I think I have to say Vil. He might be a perfectionist but I feel like it's a lot more focused on himself unless his goal needs to include other people. Yes he's very strict but partially it's due to his responsibility as a house warden and I think that as long as he sees you're putting effort even if you don't reach the level he's at that's enough to kinda ease up on you and let some things slide. In the hand Shu's getting better but he still would be very much pushy about his ideas and he believes is perfect and if you don't reach a certain level I feel like he'll definetly jumo at you and I cannot deal with that. Also I feel Vil is a lot more outwardly affectionate and a lot more able to read other's emotional states and actually take it into account more than Shu has ever been unless they explode in his face. Also from a more "how would I survive this situation and get to a point where I can be more or less comfortable" point of view, I'm prone to crying even when I feel extreme levels of anger and I think Shu would need the raw power of dry anger to be able to drive a point home while I might be able to manipulate Vil into being nicer to me if I just end up crying in front of him sjdldjdosodkskd

I don't think Eddie knows how much I love and adore him being nerdy and passionate about his interests. Quotes, references, long ramblings about his campaigns, discussions about his favorite bands. The way his eyes sparkle, the way he gestures, the way he beams. Please keep talking. Forever. I want to hear everything you have to say😭🥹🖤

DPXDC prompt: Spiritual Siblings
Bruce: My assassin kid can't be that normal!
Damian: Well, I’m completely emotionally stable by Amity Park standards. The problem is with you. Obviously.
~~~~~
Damian had long found peace and home in Amity, so he did not worry that the new family and Gotham might not accept him.
Sure, Al Ghul had lived without any contact with his biological father all these years but he could safely say that he had a happy childhood. First years were hard and he was raised more as a weapon than a human being. Even so, after that a ghost who decided to become his brother appeared and everything changed.
Damian still does not know what Ra's owes Phantom but Danny has a right to take him, without prior notification, to live with Fentons, to visit Aunt Alicia at her farm, and to make Vlad’s weekends much less calm and boring. Danny jokes that he just steals him as a hostage when Al Ghul does not pay taxes for using Lazarus Pits. Whatever the reason, he already has a family that loves him.
However, he still wanted to make an effort to fit in this one too. The model of conduct certainly was his older brother. No, not the oldest, of course. To be honest Dan wasn’t the kind of a man that could charm you from the first minute. But Danny, in Damian’s experience, had a calming effect on people. So he tried to act like him.
And, yeah, for lack of experience, he was more fun!Danny at home and super!Danny on patrol but he also really tried not to get any of his own assassin personality in his new-self and was tired of it. He couldn’t get a 100% match. Fine. Still doesn’t look like anyone in this house really likes him, so whatever.
Damian understood why Bruce didn't like his company. Jazz had long ago explained to him the importance of voluntary consent. His mother did a terrible thing. Al Ghul was not a child and therefore he was ready to admit it. However, he also understood that children were not responsible for the actions of their parents.
As a biosocial being, he wanted to be more than just a painful reminder of what had happened to Bruce. Wayne's ignoring of his existence was rude. But Damian wouldn't force this man to spend time with him just because he was legally obligated to take care of his well-being. He wasn't going to prove anything to Batman, and he definitely didn't need his attention. The care of his real family is enough.
But Damian really tried to get along with new potential siblings. He even shared Sam's and Danny’s special jokes with some of adopted kids 'cause he didn’t want them to feel like he put himself above them. He wasn't good at showing emotions but he was as open as the assassin could afford to be to strangers.
But they all obviously expected something from him. And it reminded him of the League in an unpleasant way. It was easier with Fentons. Almost everyone in Amity Park was saying what they thought, and Damian didn’t have to waste time decoding potential conspiracies.
Damian missed movie marathon nights with Sam, Tucker, and Danny. And he hoped Dani had time to bother Vlad in his absence.
It was so weird here. When Danny and Valerie were fighting, they would gather at the dinner table anyway. When Damian wanted to have combat training with Drake here, he was forced to stay in his room. A very strange punishment. And undeserved one too.
Al Ghul felt quite calm and fine sitting at his easel and painting the people he left behind. An unusual subject for his paintings. But, Ancients, he missed Amity.
He missed Jack's bone breaking hugs, Maddie's Ecto-Contaminated food, arguments of Sam and Tucker, cozy art class with Mr. Baxter and even Vlad's done look. He missed Danny telling him about the stars. He also missed sword practice with Dan's boyfriend Fright Knight and he missed Dan's stories about his other youth. He missed literary evenings with Mr. Lancer, Clockwork and Ghost Writer. He even missed the hours-long Jazz lectures. He missed the dance of death and life. He missed being looked at without expecting anything from him. He missed the crowd. In the league, he was never at one with himself and in Amity he was always surrounded by people who were not afraid of his fate as the heir to the said League. This Manor was full of people, but for the first time in his life he felt lonely. Damian has to admit that he felt left behind. Of course, he understood that people needed time to build relationships, but he could have sworn that even he didn't need that much time to connect with Fentons. Maybe this is one of the tricks of the Clockwork? Then this one is not funny at all.
~~~~~Phone call~~~~ Damian: Mom, I want to go home. Maddie: I'm so sorry to hear that, sweetheart. What happened? Damian: Just…Nobody likes me. Why was I sent here? I'm not weak. And my brothers are quite capable of protecting me from Raas. I don't need Batman for this. Maddie: We'll figure it out, champ. Moms love you, remember? I'll talk to Talia, okay? Your brothers and sisters are already on edge and ready to steal you right during the patrol. Damian: It would be nice, but it would put a bat on their tails. So lock them in thermoses if they bother you too much. Maddie: But that won't stop Jazz. Damian: I missed the part where that's my problem. Maddie: Well, it will be your problem if she comes to your doorstep with your childhood photos and moralizing.
~~~~~~~~
It's his birthday. And he was always excited about it. But now, looking at the pile of gifts, he realizes that these people don't know him at all.
And this is the family of the best detective in the world? Maybe yes, but none of them bothered to really find info about him or ask him about his likes. Damian's a stranger here, and that's obvious.
The lunch container, which he will obviously give to the Boxing Lunch when he's in the right time interval, tennis rackets that Youngblood might like, The Graveyard Book…
Valerie had already read it to him and Dani before it was published. Thanks to Clockwork for his little miracles. The book reminded him of home.
Obviously this one is from Jason. And well, Damian doesn't think it was a pun on his life in Amity, more like Hood's inside joke about death but Dami will definitely leave this thing in the room at the Manor and maybe take it with him to the GZ or Amity Park.
~~~~~~~
When they gather at the festive table, Damian realizes that he has to make some kind of speech. He tries to be as brief as possible in his report.
Damian: Todd, your gift is appreciated. And I found a potential use for items that were given by others, Bruce.
Damian never called Batman his father. With Maddie and Talia, calling both moms wasn't weird, especially when Jazz explained to his biological mom that he wasn't trying to replace her. But with Wayne, it was different. Both women took care of him, they deserved this title. Wayne provided for his needs, but his core heart didn't feel like they were close. Surely there's nothing wrong if they're just Bruce and Damian? Obviously, they both don't enjoy each other's company.
Jason: So, do you like books, little demon? Damian: Sometimes reading is quite relaxing, I should point out. I'm not indifferent to Stephen King and Lovecraft. Jason: Personal recommendations? Damian: Cujo is one of my favorites. Jason: Not a common opinion, huh. Damian: It reminds me of my family. Damian tries to smile like Danny does, but Jason's twitching eye clearly indicates that he screwed it up.
~~~~Dick and Jason synchronously drop their forks as an excuse for a conference under the table.~~~~ Dick*whispers*: How's the situation? Jason*whispers back*: If the boy asks for a dog, don't be fooled. He will be happy to dance on our graves.
~~~~Cass knocks over their heads, urging them to return to their seats.~~~~
Damian: So how good you are at fading and sliding,Todd? Jason: Why did you ask? I can't, of course. Damian: Because you're dead. It seemed to me that this was a completely understandable interest. Jason: Wow, what a jerk. Damian: I wonder why your own incompetence makes me a jerk? Even my sister could do this when she wasn't dead for even a month.
Jason, for some reason, looks awkward, although he has never been embarrassed before by the idea that a girl could be stronger than him.
Jason: Your sister? How old was she when... So it's all about age. Damian rolls his eyes.
Damian: We're the same age. It seems like it was four or five years ago. To be honest, I don't remember. I wasn't around then. I'll ask Danielle the next time I go to the cemetery to visit her. Dick: I'm so sorry, Dami. Where is she buried? We can take you. Damian: There's no need. She has no grave, as there was nothing to bury. Bruce sighs loudly and covers his eyes with his hands. Damian: It's just easier to contact the afterlife in places like this, you now? Duke: We are very sorry, dude. Damian: Don't be. People come and go, and then come back if they haven't finished annoying you. There's no point in regretting the past. Her creation was not the most ethical thing but everything is going as it should. At least that's what Grandpa says. Considering that the old man is older than time, I prefer to believe him. No one plays with fate without his permission unless they want to get hit by the clock. Tim now looks like he's going to throw up and Damian hurries to move his plate closer to him. Jason: Yes, Bruce, this is definitely your son. Damian: Did I say something wrong? Dick smiles faintly at him but still doesn't find anything to say. Damian shrugs and goes back to eating asparagus. People outside of Amity are so weird.
Signal looks at Damian suspiciously as he carefully rearranges the plate of soy sausages away from himself. Did he take him for an idiot? Everyone knows that even vegetarian sausage bite and fight no worse than those with meat when they come back to life. It's not Damian's fault that he doesn't have an ectoblast with him and wants to have extra distance from the opponent.
~~~At the same time, in the walls of Wayne Manor~~~ Dani: The operation codenamed "Get Haunted Idiot" is declared open. Danny and Dan *salute*.

~~~Several Days Later~~~
Damian: So, this is Dan. Danny says we keep him as a GIW repeller. Dick: And Danny and Dan are.. Jazz: His brothers. I'm Jazz by the way. Elle and I are his sisters. Damian: I feat the criteria to participate in their name cult, so they took me. Dan, Danny, Dani and Dami. Dan *ruffles Damian's hair* : I prefer to call this biting threat Damn, to be honest. Dami: Shut up, DaNtE, they almost wrote Dark in your passport, you idiot. I can't believe I thought I missed you. Danny: Wow. Rude. Your grandpa would be disappointed. Great job, lil one.

“Babe, I missed you.”
You wrap your arms around Lando just as he enters your apartment.
Not just yours, though. His as well.
You've been living together for the past year. Although you're used to the solitude because Lando travels across the world for the races, the place still feels empty without him around.
The feeling of joy and happiness that fills you whenever the bell rings and when you see it's him- it gives you a thrill.
Long distance is hard, but there is some strength in holding on to a relationship while being apart. It's challenging. It's frustrating. There are days you crave his presence and touch. There are days you wish he was beside you to keep you together.
You've known Lando since he was a kid. From his go karting days to his F1 stint, you've always been a pillar of support beside his family. Being raised in a humble background, you're still not used to the glitz and glamour of Monaco.
You keep falling apart again and again in this foreign country, without your family, without any support- and Lando isn't there to pick up the pieces.
You start sobbing, losing yourself in the hug.
“Y/N, what happened?” He pulls away and gently wipes your tears.
“I miss you so much. It's so painful not having you around.”
He gives you a sad smile.
“I know. But I can't help it, love.” He tucks a strand of hair behind your ear. His touch is electrifying, a feeling like none other, especially considering that you guys rarely stay together.
“Lando, I-woah!”
Lando carries you to the room, bridal style, catching you by surprise.
“Would you like to go for a drive?” He asks you, placing you on the bed and plopping down next to you.
That sounds like a fun idea. You're willing to spend as many moments as you can with him. You're feeling a little emotional, and this might be a good distraction.
“What about drive-in theater? There's a screening of The Notebook.”
He chuckles. “You'll never get tired of this movie, will you?”
“Never.”
*****
You're sobbing throughout the movie. Lando hands you the tub of ice cream you're both sharing. It's hard to find privacy amidst the stares that people are giving to the both of you- considering Lando’s celebrity status. But you're getting used to it.
You decided to match hoodies. He's wearing one of your favourite black Playboy hoodies with the purple logo at the back. You have a similar looking one but in grey.
Just as the movie ends, your ice cream too.
“I'm hungry,” your stomach growls as if on cue, and a blush spreads across your cheeks.
“Burger and fries?”
“Yes!” You make a fist pump.
You reach McDonald's. Lando parks the car and you both enter the restaurant.
There are stares again, of course, so you feel a little conscious about your appearance. Lando places his hand at your back, guiding you to a seat and also as a reassurance that he's there with you, no matter what.
You place your order. You're both sitting, waiting and chilling, but you're suddenly interrupted by a little girl walking towards your table along with her mom.
“Lando!!!”
Lando smiles at the girl.
“Could I please have a picture?”
“Sure,” Lando gets up and stands beside the girl. She gives you both a toothy grin. “What's your name, love?”
“I’m Diane. Who is this with you?” She points at you.
“This is my best friend, Y/N.”
“Wow! Could I have a picture with you as well?” She gives you an innocent look, and your heart skips a beat. You click a picture with her.
“I think you're really pretty,” she tells you, before taking off a bracelet that she's wearing and giving it to you. “Please keep this.”
You beam at her.
“Thank you, love. I'll keep it safe. I think you're really gorgeous too.” Diane blushes.
“Thank you,” her mom says. “Let's go Diane.”
She gives Lando a hug and then leaves.
After spending a few hours at the McDonald's, you both decide to go for a walk.
Fans keep on approaching you. Most of them are so supportive and sweet. By the end of the day, you're feeling better and you've earned quite a few bracelets.
As the night approaches, you're tired. But your heart is full of love, grateful for all the kindness that you received today. As a thank you, you decide to post a picture on Instagram.
Lando is leaving for Japan tomorrow. You're going to miss him. But you're willing to go through this tribulation- as long as Lando gets to live his dream.
You're lucky to have someone like him in your life. And to be honest, he's very lucky too. No matter how many hardships and ups and downs you face in your life and relationship- you will always have good people around. Today has proved that.
You're willing to make it work, and so is Lando. That's what matters in the end.
