Five Things Tim and Kon will never forget about Young Justice for amarin_rose


1) Tim's been called a freak a lot, but when in Young Justice, it wasn't an insult or an indication of failure to act with the appropriate social or emotional response. It was just a description. Dark hair. Short. Freak.

Even in Gotham, no-one said it quite like that.

2) Having a place that was theirs. Not a legacy, not like moving in to someone else's room. Even if it was an old hotel or a JLA back-up location, it was theirs, in a way that the Tower never can be.

3) Food. Everyone in YJ could cook, for certain definitions of the word “cook". That, combined with natural competitiveness and a refusal to admit there was something they couldn't do led to some of the biggest and most interesting meals any of them ever had. The smell of chocolate and orange, jumbalaya, grapefruit juice, maple syrup and barbecued ribs still makes them nostalgic.

4) The way, for a while, they couldn't rely on the JLA to back them up, or even to trust them, but they could rely on each other.

5) It was easier to get together than not.

6) While they were in space coming back to earth –and that took a long time, no matter how advanced the trip- Tim proved that he knew every line in Monty Python's Holy Grail, and was halfway through Life of Brian before they landed.


Five reasons Vril considers himself a perfect mate for odditycollector.

1. Obviously, when he puts his mind to it, he is capable of orchestrating the kind of sexual pleasure that most species aren't even equipped to handle more than once or twice in a lifetime.
2. This is true even he doesn't put his mind to it.
3. He likes parenting. There's something about seeing your own opinions being formed in another's mind, without any artificial programming, seeing them grow and form. It's like a cross between running a world and gardening.
4. Some would argue that he has, in fact, had limited social, sexual or romantic experience. However, a significant proportion of that was with the Durlan, which means that he is both reasonably knowledgeable about the biosexual preferences of a significant number of species and very, very hard to shock.
5. Frankly, at this point, his standards in a mate are pretty low. As long as they don't try to kill him, he'd classify it as a successful relationship, which must take the pressure off them for trying to live up to him.

The YJ one made me clutch my heart.

The Vril one made me giggle till I had a coughing fit.

Yay. :)

The Young Justice one is brilliant. And t'other made me giggle, even though I don't know who Vril is.

(Gosh, when I first read the title I thought it was five reasons why Vril thought he was a perfect mate for odditycollector, if you follow me.)

I'm *vastly* amused at your phrasing on the title of the second list. Vril/Karen OTP 4EVA!

(3) on the first list is worryingly plausible.

And I was yet another to misparse the title of the second list. *grins*

Young Justice made me whimper and Vril/Karen is my new OTP.

The food even more than the Monty Python.

Joining the "Vril/odditycollector? Bzuh?" list ... I love them both. Particularly the juxtaposition of 1-4 on the second list with 5 - a little desperate, is he?

Oh, Jam. PLS BE MY PERFECT MATE

Oh, the YJ one broke my heart -especially the "freak" one. Because for Tim, it would be a strange sort of badge of honor. That he would apply his obsessive compulsiveness to memorizing Monty Python lines? CLASSIC.

Just. Gah. I miss them so, so very much.

*sniffles* Aw, YJ, how I miss you... Also, Vril? *snerk*

[odditycollector.livejournal.com]

I love your lists.

However, after reading the other comments, I get the impression something went *terribly wrong* somewhere!

*traumatized!*
