For as little screen time that they ended up getting, I suppose Oars one-shotting all the general zombies shows how overpowered he is

Thinking about Dick and Roy as kind of parallels to each other.

Both taken in by heroes. Both raised as sidekicks and partners but not quite sons. Both ended up coming of age with distance between them and their mentors.

But then things start to differ as adults.

(Correct me if I'm wrong on anything with Roy, because I only know pieces and I'd love to know more.)

Dick is constantly pulled back into Bruce's orbit by force or by choice. Roy seems to have a more... active role in deciding when to let Oliver back into his life.

Roy raises Lian, getting to have her as a center of his world, and establishes himself as his own hero.

Dick is a bit more stuck in the shadow of Batman. Every marriage attempt gets destroyed. Every new balance found gets toppled by catastrophe.

Roy actually gets a life outside being a hero. Dick's whole world revolves around the superhero community.

It's just very interesting that the things DC seems so eager to erase from Roy's story are the things that let him grow up and become his own person.

Which, now that I'm thinking about it, also maps onto Dick. Every time he gets Free of Gotham’s everything, something pulls him back into it. Like an unwilling or unknowing Peter Pan, he's not allowed to grow up, not really.

And after all the reboots and retcons and resets, their relationship gets lost, too.

Idk, man. I miss when things for "adults" also meant growth and maturity. Not just tits and senseless violence.

Shy. Nervous. Respectful. Those are the emotions radiating from Cal as he looks around his and Jaro's shared quarters. Jaro had time to move what few personal belongings he had in before collecting Cal from his (now former) clan, and he is curious to know what the little one thinks of it all.

Or, to be more accurate, he wonders what each object could tell him.

Ah. That may be part of the reason for the nerves. Although Jaro is quite certain nothing in here could cause any kind of emotional upset. However, that is not for him to judge. He is not the one gifted with psychometry after all.

"Do you sense anything alarming here?" he asks Cal.

Cal shakes his head. "There are lots of echoes though."

"Is there something you want to know more about?" Jaro is aware that Cal has been taught to rein in his curiosity where possible. They will need to find their own balance with his psychometry, especially within their own living space. "What's mine is yours, Padawan. You need not be afraid."

"It's, uh, it's not in here," Cal says. "I think it's in the 'fresher. It's kinda loud."

Most unexpected. Jaro feels an eyebrow twitch as he allows Cal to go on ahead of him. In the refresher, Cal points to an item so tiny, Jaro has to lean in to see what it is.

Of course. Master Yaddle's comb. She'd give it to him years ago, not to use (his hands are far too large) but as a reminder that she had used it to maintain his Padawan braid whenever she needed to add new markers of his successes and achievements... or whenever it simply grew out or became tangled and messy. Jaro had placed it in here for Cal to use, not thinking that Cal would be able to read its past.

"You can pick it up if you'd like," Jaro says. He crouches down to Cal's level, scoops up the comb, and holds it out to him. "I left it here for you to use, but of course I did not pause to consider the echo it may have left in the Force. It belonged to my master, long ago, and she gave it to me after I was knighted and made me promise to give it to the first Padawan I had whose hands were small enough to use it."

Cal giggles as Jaro waggles his fingers. He reaches out and plucks the comb from Jaro's palm. His gaze goes distant as the Force speaks to Cal in a language Jaro cannot understand. Honestly, he cannot even perceive what it is Cal does, only that his connection to the Force is strong and deep, albeit following a different path to the one Jaro's takes. He watches, fascinated, as Cal breaks out into a smile and laughs, returning from the past in amazement. "You were so much bigger than Master Yaddle she had to stand on a stool to reach your head even when you sat down!" he cries out in delight, both hands clutching the comb. "She really liked styling your hair. It was like meditating to her. She hummed while she worked."

"Indeed she did." Jaro had almost forgotten about that.

Cal looks up at him. "You still braid all your hair the way she used to."

"Master Yaddle was wise in all that she did."

"She... she's gone, isn't she?" Cal asks, head dipping, foot scuffing the refresher's tiled floor.

"She is, Cal."

"I'm sorry, Master."

"I know, and I do miss her, however she is one with the Force now, and I take great comfort in that." Jaro can tell Cal isn't entirely sure what that means. A lesson for another day when he is a little older, perhaps. "I will certainly share more stories about her, however, I am sure she would be very happy to know I have kept my promise and given her comb to one who can use it."

"Me?" Cal asks.

"Yes, Padawan, you."

Cal holds the comb tight. "Thanks, Master. I promise I'll look after it!"

I for one am glad they didn’t de-age Hayden because now that I am older 18 year old Anakin looks like a baby but it turns out that 40 year old Anakin would still have been the hottest Jedi in the galaxy and it’s good to have that confirmation.

sneak peak into the editing process for a single sentence in an 80k book:

draft 1: "Alice, unlike Derek Zoolander, can turn left." thoughts: hmm, not everyone will get that reference. let's run a poll on social media to see if people get it the poll: people do not get it decision: gotta change it

draft 2: "Alice, unlike that lady she used to work with, is comfortable turning both directions." thoughts: this is based on a real lady I used to work with who would not make left turns in her car. second thoughts: this reference is even more illegible than the first one. decision: gotta change it.

draft 3: "Alice, as a certified bisexual, is comfortable turning both directions." thoughts: this is cute! i did it! second thoughts: this is fucking meaningless. decision: gotta change it

draft 4: "Okay. Alice can go right. Righty-ho, then." thoughts: BERING AND WELLS SECRET REFERENCE but otherwise simply comedic and voicey? decision: LET'S KEEP IT (at least until draft 5)

Me making my first BG3 "Honor Mode" character: She is called Fayfira, she's a halfling who lost her husband and son in a bandit raid and shortly after she'd finished burying them, she was abducted by mindflayers. She's so done with all the bullshit and has gone from housewife to barbarian!

Everyone's focusing on the crew's total failure to look in the dirt boxes, and I'm just fixated on:

Men much relieved when search over, and went back to work cheerfully.

okay but WHAT ABOUT PETROFSKY??? Do NONE of his crewmates care that he's just GONE? What is the rationale here??

"Welp, no monstrous stowaway after all! Guess ol' Petrofsky must have fallen overboard! Good riddance, we never liked his ass anyway."

A Haliced scene for your thoughts: Hal and Alice campaigning for a public notary candidate in 2011 and trying to solicit Fred, who of course has the time of his life fucking with them (Fred: Well golly gee, what does a public notary even do? Hal: *preparing the nerdiest and most oblivious spiel he’s ever given*)

All Hal had to do was cover Elm, Spruce, and Maple Street while Alice got the rest of the neighborhood. And their campaign only made it as far as next door. Alice returns home to find Hal has sketched the entire inner workings of local government across three flyers on Fred's porch while Fred stands there nodding along with his coffee...

Honestly the way s2 wasn't about Alice attempting a third party campaign for mayor against Fred and Hermione just because she could... smh. (but we did get chic out of her s2 plot so... I will allow it)
