What if Damian grows up to be short. He’s just, forever small, tiny, ball of fury.
I just think that all that anger compressed would be hysterical.
He walks up to villains and they just go “you talk a lot of smack for a guy that can slide under a door crack” and it takes all his self restraint (and an exasperated Nightwing) to not slit their throats on the spot.

Thinking about what kind of role Sugar would take if she lived in the hotel with everyone. I’m not sure if she’d work for redemption on purpose. Rather I think it would be more of like Angel’s deal in the beginning. She moves in because of course they wouldn’t turn her away, and maybe she helps around the place since she doesn’t plan on actually being redeemed.

horribly short summary of what im trying to accomplish here, but if you were to read a fic featuring character, a soldier honorably discharged and is officially off the battlefield and yet he can’t seem to shake off the war from clinging to his body, and he’s basically a bit of a mess and feels incapable of returning to ordinary life and there’s you, the sweetest thing in the whole world, and he keeps trying to tell you he’s no good and you’re there to help him with everything (and it kills him a bit, to see you wasting your time to help him, and it kills him because he feels like he shouldn’t be the type of person who needs help) and !! just slowburn and falling in love and just read the tags for the vibe ok, who would it be for

Wouldn't it be neat if Buggy was a Ren Faire performer and Shanks was, like, the local carpenter or something hired to fix one of the stages after some performers -- Mohji and Cabaji, probably -- put a hole through the floor. And it just so happens to be Buggy's stage, too, and Shanks bumps into him and just becomes absolutely smitten...
Like, Buggy absolutely chews Shanks out for being in the way while he's trying to practice, or for him leaving tools scattered around, or, really, anything and everything even if it can't really be helped. Buggy finds a reason to be annoyed, anyway, and makes it a point to complain in the most over dramatic way possible, like Shanks was deliberately trying to ruin his show. And Shanks, just... Finds it endearing? Maybe even likes it? Too much? He likes this funny man with the big red nose and vibrant blue hair who can simultaneously cuss him out with his sharp tongue while juggling equally sharp knives...
And even after the work is done on the stage, Shanks just keeps finding reasons to come back? Like, "Oh, these boards are awful loose wouldn’t want anyone tripping," or, "Those support beams are a lawsuit waiting to happen," and, "Ya know, there's like half a dozen code violations here, actually. Maybe I can just..." All the while he's already brought his tool bags and sometimes Benn, who is torn between annoyance and awe at the increasing level of stupidity of the excuses Shanks seems to find and that the production keeps fully believing and paying him for, all so that he can shamelessly flirt with a glorified clown.
And when that clown starts to flirt back -- albeit with violence and insults -- and things around the Faire end up broken and in need of skilled labor. Well...

It’s not that I don’t get why people think Anthony Lockwood is like Kaz Brekker, but can I ask you to consider THIS:
Nikolai Lanstov
Let’s look at the facts…..
1. Smiles all the time? Check. It’s a top detail for both
2. Lying Charmer? Check. Lockwood “lies like a politician”, lives with a guy for a year - that guy never learns what’s in the spare room. Nikolai keeps a whole-ass second identity a secret from a whole-ass country and is actually a politician.
3. *ahem* complicated relationship with parents and siblings? Check
4. Has a supernatural gift but the scariest thing about them is how well they read people and use them? Nikolai wins in the end because he gets what people will do. He uses his mind and that’s why the Darkling gives him the Demon treatment - to take that off the board. Lockwood digs at people and then smoothes it all away again depending on what he wants/needs. They play people for strategy, necessity, and sometimes for fun and that’s brilliant and terrifying
5. Somehow simultaneously has No Money and All the Money? Lockwood has a massive house in Central London, posh manners, signs of Family Money Tm -runs his business from home and has soooooo much mortgage. Nikolai is a king living in a palace - so broke he might legit lose a war because of the No Money
6. Absolute simps over their much more powerful wives? Hell yes and we’re here for it.
Lucy-Zoya parallels?
George-David parallels?
Holly-Genya?
If anything the Crows fit more with Flo……
Who’s with me?????
