Ballister says trans rights
Inspo:
I swear I’ve gone my whole life not understanding what was even slightly attractive about Ryan Gosling but him being Ken has completely changed my mind.
The man is flawless. A hero. Adorable. Top tier. A perfect Ken and dare I say it, a perfect 10
The equivalent of calling your teacher 'mom'... yes this is an excuse to draw wet cat ballister 🫡
headcanon that the smaller batkids steal the bigger ones' hoodies and jackets. and by "bigger ones" I mean literally anyone bigger than them.
jason gets the short end of the stick because dick and all his little siblings take his. tim's the only one bold enough to go for the leather jackets (well, and cass, but they're way too wide in the shoulders for her) but it's not uncommon to find dick or stephanie in a dark red or gray hoodie that smells of motor oil and gunpowder.
damian usually takes dick's hoodies, but they're very oversized on him. on the bright side, there are thumbholes in the sleeves of all dick's hoodies, so he can still use his hands. the thumbholes make them a hot commodity in the winter.
there is a tim-steph-cass jacket pipeline. steph steals tim's hoodies and cass takes them from steph. hence tim stealing jason's leather jackets -- steph won't take them, so he gets to hold on to them until jason realizes and takes them back. sometimes cass will also steal duke's hoodies, but she always returns them clean and neatly folded (unlike how it goes with the rest of the family, in which they are returned only under threat of blackmail or with long rounds of negotiation).
this is an extremely long-standing ring of jacket theft. you cannot leave a hoodie unattended in wayne manor. damian doesn't actually own any hoodies, and cass only owns one, because there's so many other people in the house to "borrow" one from. nowhere is safe. steph once broke into dick's apartment to steal his warm hoodie, the one with the fuzz on the inside.
but it goes the other way sometimes. jason leaves things in the pockets of his leather jackets for tim -- film for his camera, hand sanitizer, half-filled punch cards for local coffee shops with "drink water too, fucker" written on the back. cass will tuck little slips of paper in the cuffed sleeves when she leaves hoodies out. the notes don't say anything, but they have little smiley faces and hearts on them, and steph has taken to doing something similar with corny jokes. dick just straight-up leaves candy in the hoods of his jackets.
it's a game, it's a love language. it's simultaneously annoyance and affection. there's nothing like wearing a hoodie that's too big for you, that smells like your family, to make you feel safe.
Me thinking of the Nino/Alya and Andre/Audrey parallels while thinking of the Adrien/Marinette and Émilie/Gabriel parallels while also thinking of the Marinette & Adrien & Alya & Nino friendship and Gabriel & Émilie & Audrey & André frienship parallels:
I love how this show does everything in pairs 🙂
- André and Nino are both into film direction. André never truly followed his dream but Nino has a chance to.
- Audrey and Alya both working on media by Audrey being the head of her fashion magazine while Alya is head of the Ladyblog.
- André/Audrey clearly in an unhappy relationship (that might be full of secrets
cough ZOE cough) vs. Alya/Nino being completely honest with each other and resolving their issues rather quickly and maturely for being 14 year olds. - Gabriel and Marinette mirror each other by: being into fashion design, coming from a middle class/poor (in contrast with Adrien and Émilie) background, being disapproved by their love interest's parent/s. Gabriel taints his victims with the power the butterfly grants while Marinette cleanses them with the ladybug.
- Émilie and Adrien are both kids with strict parents in a higher class status, sunshines that desire to see the world on their own. Émilie created with the peacock while Adrien destroys with the cat.
- Gabriel & Émilie & Audrey & André have been friends since before the kids were born
- Émilie starred in André's film while Adrien starred in Nino's project back on s1
- Audrey discovered Gabriel and befriended him while Alya found Marinette and befriended her
- It is very likely that Audrey knows that Gabriel is Monarque while Alya was told by Marinette herself that she's Ladybug
And right now i don't remember anything else lol
BONUS ROUND!
- Luka and Nathalie are both the couple's friend and confidant that knows their secrets and tries to help as best as they can.

if you are dealing with extreme heat or even just. moderate heat in your area right now. 80f/26c is when it starts getting toasty for a lot of people. if you are in a heat wave and you have not done yourself the favor of googling fucking "heat exhaustion symptoms" i am shaking you violently right now. look it up. burn the symptoms into your brain. heatstroke is no joke and it can and WILL sneak up on you before you're aware it's even an issue. ohh my god
