You know that one post shitting on Joker? Like 'Superman gives pity laugh' because his jokes are so lame? So in the community, every city has that hero mascot right? Like the main man, usually Justice League adjacent, so if there are hero representatives, a city probably got a villain mascot. The Batkids get a lot of shit for having a lameass villain.
Dick regularly cries to Bruce about this: "Do something about this B! Don't you see your children are suffering?! Jason is being bullied by the Flashes just because they have cool villains!"
(That was very much intended pun.)
Jason, holding Barry in a head lock while shaking down Wally -with a Bat stamped glove that's glowing and producing weird staticky sounds while Barbara and Tim watch from the sidelines taking notes- as Bart cackles at them: Do you not care for us at all!
Duke, screeching at the top of his lungs: He is not the Gotham villain!
Steph: We've got the Riddler, people!
Cass: Poison Ivy.
Steph: What? No, she's got her moments but Riddler actually represents the aspects of the standard Gotham insanity. We gotta think representation Cass!
Cass: Lesbian.
Damian: If we are talking about Gotham insanity, I believe Dr. Quinzel is a much better candidate.
Tim: You only say that because she recently called herself your nemesis.
Damian: Clearly, not even insanity can blind one so much they lose all sense, as despite appearing in your time, she has seen me as the superior Robin, I have recognition in the streets, whereas what did you have other than their pity.
Tim, who has an entire Rouge's gallery who's thoughts almost immediately went to Anarky 'want to do good despite struggling in his methods', General 'generally unpleasant boy who is inclined to animals and had usurped Anarky's position by rendering him paralyzed', and Ra's Al Ghul 'Ra's Al Ghul enough said if he trips on the goddamn stairs and his Pits spontaneously combusted Tim would happily hand Jason a get Tim to do whatever you want coupon', muttering: ..... I know who my Rouge's gallery mascot is.
Barbara: What about Harvey? Literally the duality of Gotham crazies, and he was district attorney so how's that for representative.
Jason: What? Ew, no, he's white.
Dick: Was he?
Duke: Uh, you're all sleeping on Catwoman? I mean, someone says Catwoman and they think Gotham.
Cass: Someone says Riddler they have to think if it was Gotham or Keystone.
Dick: Someone says Catwoman and everyone thinks of rooftops, Batman, and a Robin shooed away to the other end of the city.
Steph: What about Zsaz?
Everyone:......
Duke: Who?
Steph: Yeah, fair.
Everyone talking over each other on which hero is really the best representative:
Damian: Should bring honor-
Tim: -monologues are at least-
Steph: The design you know, we don't want a fashion disaster-
Cass: -should compliment our mission-
Babs: -makes at least a bit of sense-
Jason: -someone I don't want to put a bullet in-
(My vote is actually on Scarecrow.)

i do love my job but sometimes i think about how for the sake of me enjoying my job longterm i am going to have to hide myself and laugh along with homophobic/transphobic jokes made around me. when prompted i will mention the fact that i'm gay at work like im not exactly closeted i'm kind of very easily identified as a fucking dyke and i feel no shame in admitting that with my fellow tradesmen i just dont mention it if im not prompted to. i cope with the jokes as best as i can and a lot of them arent actual true hate but they do still come from a place of bigotry that makes me feel bad but because of the nature of the brotherhood i rely on having good relationships with the men around me in order to have a decent job or at least have a comeradery that will make the bad jobs i get bearable through the day

thinking about how josh always tries playing around WITH other teammates, but always interacts with diggs as if he is something extremely, extraordinarily precious to him. I'm not saying he doesn't care about everyone else, he cares about everyone, but when you're in love, the person you're in love with happens to cross your mind more times than a few.
Like. Josh throwing snow on Gabe Davis and not on stef (even tho he knows Gabe is very protective of his birkin !!) And just letting stef walk by snow-free while he and Gabe banter (in front of stef) (very important to note). Now, diggs was also wearing fancier things than Gabe in cost comparison. He had more than a birkin bag to protect.. Josh knows Stef loves living lavish, and his outfit was probably brand new bcs he also knows stef loves trying new things.. so Josh respects the boundaries that he knows and only plays around with Gabe, who's a little materialistic too but not as much as Stef.
Josh sees Stef coming, he stops talking to his teammates and does a little dance. He knows Stef finds his dancing funny, so he does some dancing!
Thinking about how they were paired during the pandemic, and had to bond literally over call of duty. Thinking about how Diggs was new to the game and how Josh never exploited him for it in the game, or complained about his skill level. Thinking about how Diggs recalls Josh always stopping to heal him as if the silly little call of duty game shenanigans were a honeymoon worthy of forever memory.
Stef keeps headbutting him in the middle of his pregame pep talk, instead of playing off that, Josh keeps his focus and doubles down on his leadership position by continuing his speech unphased. It's not ignoring, though, it's providing a stable foundation for Stef to bounce off of and keep him grounded. Stef's constant touches to allen during his speech let's him know he's doing good in what he's trying to accomplish: being inspiring while also being strong. Josh's strong composure let's Stef know that even with every headbutt, he's not budging, he'll always be right there for Stef to hold and remember who's there in his corner. There's someone stable in his corner, someone who isn't tired or intimidated by his energy, someone willing to observe the options and choose the best one without Stef having to even advise him on it
Although he's talking to everyone, he keeps his hand on STEF'S helmet to let him know He knows he's there, and He appreciates him being there. There's no joking about it. When stef pushes his way into the middle of the huddle just to be by Josh, it's not to hear how funny he can be or how serious, and while he can be either, it's just not the focus right now. The focus, the Need is simply to be By Josh.
And you don't get that kind of devotion from Diggs by playing around with his emotions, his wants, his needs. You don't get that kind of devotion by not being devoted yourself.
Josh Allen is 110% dedicated to loving his teammates, to loving football, and to loving Stefon Diggs.
Thinking about how much Diggs needs that .
