THE UNHAPPY HIPPOPOTAMUS

By Nancy Moore, illustrated by Edward Leight

This is not terrible at all if both husband and wife are happy with their family. I don’t get my generation's people looking down on our peers who become parents, or have more than two children. Like, their measurement of happiness will obviously not match with yours. But why must we look down on them or feel contempt for them like this? So tired of this honestly. Having children doesn’t immediately make one's life soulless and joyless. For all you know someone's reason for living and happiness could be their children. Acting like you're better than them and having a holier-than-thou attitude just because of your personal choice only makes you appear childish, I'm sorry.

Bruce Wayne wakes up in the past, five months after Jason Todd died, and spends most days sat beside the grave because he never found out exactly when Jason had come back and he wanted to be there to save him when he did.

From an outside perspective, everyone is extremely concerned.

grimmichi is like. what if you were a monster who was only born because you clawed your way to the top of a thousand other souls and you had to fight for every moment of your existence in a world where you have no choice but to eat your fellows alive and the right to survive is forged from violence and the only way to have any power is to destroy everyone else so you become it you embody it you relish in destruction and then a stranger appears who calls himself a god and he promises you strength if you join him but after you become his slave he stamps you with the number six and sits you beside the rest of his toy soldiers and you can only watch as he plays king in your land and when you finally try to reclaim some autonomy your followers get slaughtered and you're replaced without a second thought and there's nothing you can do except become more bitter and more violent but then a weird weak stranger you damn near killed without even trying gets stronger gets as strong as you and gets stronger still except instead of using his power to oppress and destroy he uses it to liberate and protect and he spares you even though he hates you and he defends you even though you hurt him and he challenges everything you thought you knew about the world. like what do you even do. apart from fuck him of course

Please, I have 5 wips collecting dust and a trillion plot bunnies kickboxing inside my brain. Please work.

This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.
