I know there are lots of different opinions on whether Max said Charlie or not and whether he said he had space for him or not but even without the audio I am taking two things from that clip
Charles walked past numerous other drivers to go and stand by Max and have a little catch up. I feel like their friendship has developed a lot lately and they are feeling more confident spending time together which is nice to see.
Charles walked away from Carlos and towards Max and I am taking that as symbolism in regards to his career 😂😂😂

Fanfic writer challenge (aftg edition)
1. list & explain the three lines/moments from canon that are most fundamental to how you write your fave character
2. challenge 3 more fic writers to do the same!
Tks for the idea and tag @mostlymaudlin !
I meant to sleep but couldn't stop thinking about this so here we go. ANDREW MINYARD:
1. Theres a lot under the surface (and under this break)
"How a man who viewed the world with such studied disconnect could kiss like this, Neil didn't know, but he wasn't going to complain." (TKM)
One day I'll share my essay on surface ppl versus depth ppl but just know Andrew is a depth person.
2. He knows Neil.
Neil asking Andrew how he can stand him after everything:
Neil reached for him, unwilling to let him leave without a real answer.
"No," Andrew said, and Neil's hand froze a breath from Andrew's arm. (TKM)
Maybe also indicative of his understanding of other ppl in general. Analyzes them, never forgets anything. Pretty much always knows what to expect. Neil is the only one who ever really manages to surprise him. But in this moment he knows what Neil will do, and he uses that to demonstrate his point.
Not the most important thing in this scene, which shows how Neil knows and respects Andrew's boundaries. Among other things. But still.
3. He's a self sacrificing asshole who sees things in black and white. Especially his own commitments and what it means to protect someone. Neil explaining to Aaron why Andrew killed Tilda:
"Why he—what? That isn't the same. He didn't do that for me."
"He told me he did," Neil said. "I didn't even have to ask him. He warned her to stop hitting you and she wouldn't. He had no choice but to get rid of her. ...
"Except I lied," Neil said, getting to his feet. "Unlike you, he's not angry that you interfered. I just said that because I needed you to understand." (TRK)
Andrew doesn't get angry, he gets even lol.
4. Bonus. He doesnt get angry, except when he does.... at how much he cares about Neil.
hotel scene:
"I'm sorry," Nathaniel said.
...
"Say it again and I will kill you." (TKM)
Like, is he bluffing? Is he serious? I don't think he'd hurt Neil (death threats are old hat at this pt) but I think it does make him absolutely livid that Neil would put himself in harm's way. Angry at Neil for being a martyr and making him worry, but angry at himself for worrying in the first place. Neil made him renege on his deal, which Andrew never does, but even after that Andrew still cares about him. And then Neil goes and gets himself kidnapped. How! Dare! He!!!!! And how dare Andrew for still wanting to protect this stupid little rabbit. Love him

Dc x Dp Prompt #6
“I’m a twin”, Damian said one night. He could feel the narrowed eyes of his family drilling holes on his back in disbelief. Not that he could blame them. Damian had never so much as implied being raised with a companion, much less a sibling.
“I had a brother”. Damian paused to recollect himself. He had not said his brother’s name out loud in over 8 years.
“His name was… Danyal”. Damian hated the way his voice wavered, but he could not help it. Danyal was everything to him, his other half. Their heart beat as one and when one heart stopped beating, the other one died with it. At least until his family put his heart on metaphorical life support without ever realizing.
“Where is he now?” His father asked, voice filled with knowing grief and a hint of betrayal. It had in fact been 6 years since Damian first showed up on his doorstep.
“Up there”. All eyes shifted towards the specific star he was pointing to. “Right before he died, he promised me he’d guide me from the stars. Unfortunately, the stars are not visible in Gotham, so my brother is unable to be of much help unless I leave the city.”
“Your brother is Polaris, the North Star?” Tim questioned warily, most likely in attempts to not offend him. Damian was aware of how stupid it sounded, but Danyal had promised, and his brother never broke his promises.
“Yes. Danyal is with the stars now, just as he always wanted”
