Conversations between best friends has often led to some reckless/stupid/not thought out at all decisions.
Like one conversation the amity park trio had where Danny said that he couldn't see Tucker as a doctor (the medical kind) to which Tucker responded with "Alright, bet." and enrolled in medical school.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bruce Wayne and Tucker Foley somehow by coincidence *cough* clockwork* became friends.
And stayed friends even after Bruce dropped out and Tucker went on to finish med school.
It was a strange friendship that was mainly just Bruce calling Tucker from the weirdest locations and asking things "Out of curiosity, if an immortal nutjob wanted you to marry his daughter and become his heir what would you do? uh-huh, uh-huh, really? ok, thanks." and meeting up for coffee every now and then.
It was during one of these coffee meet-ups that Bruce confessed that he wanted to adopt a recently orphaned child by the name of Richard.
There was currently push back from people who didn't think 'Brucie Wayne' would be a good parent and from others who didn't want a random kid having a chance to inherit the Wayne fortune, the media was also having a field day.
Everyone kept asking him to "reconsider" and doing everything they can to stall/stop the adoption process.
Tucker, being the good friend he was, said "Don't worry, I got this" Stood up from the cafe table, walked to the nearest library and politely asked to use one of their computers, spent a good ten minutes on it, printed something out on the library's printer, walked back to the cafe where he left Bruce waiting.
And finally, he handed over the paper with the words "Take this." and continued drinking his now cold coffee.
Bruce was, understandably, confused. "What is-" "Trust me, it'll work." Tucker assured him.
That is how Bruce Wayne adopted one Richard 'Dick' Grayson.
And after that, Bruce went to Tucker whenever he came across a kid that he wanted to adopt, which was often.
It's one reason why Tucker will do everything in his power to make sure Danny and Bruce never meet for fear that the Gothamite might try to add the Halfa to the growing army of children.

Hiii everyone, say, how do your Hawkes go go about sharing their estate? If they do it at all? Is everyone free to come and go or are they more private? Or do they only invite their LI to stay? I'm curious!! :)
i love torchwood because everyone just does the most unhinged fucked up things but looking back at the stuff that happened leading up to it makes you go like "ah yeah fair enough, go on"
like if i died and my boss brought me back to life and his first question was about the code for the alien morgue i would have a fit too
and if my boyfriend got stabbed at my place of work i would absolutely rip open the rift through time and space if that made him come back (even if its only a very small chance)
and yeah if i lived for hundreds of years and saw so many people i loved grow old and die or get brutally murdered i too would be..... like that
Random thought, but I’ve always associated Anima Sola and fire with Jacob a lot more than I do Esau.
Idk what the general consensus is with this, but I see Dark Esau as more as a result of Jacob’s own self damage and how it’s pushed onto things around him. Esau wasn’t the one who coaxed the flames, he was caught in Jacob’s misdoings. Esau being left behind by a scared kid who didn’t know what else to do other than run.Jacob’s the unrelenting fire, but he can’t control what he starts. And maybe it’s also because Jacob’s my special baby, but to me he’s the fire boy. Only he’s not immune to his own actions.
I miss my basement/canon adjacent au a lot. I’ve considered writing a fic staring J&E. I really like them both and that basement world in general.
