Prompt 198
Now Bruce was not expecting to reincarnate upon his death. At least he thinks he died, he’s pretty sure he did. There wasn’t any other reason for him to be a well, literal baby. Around two he thinks, which fits well with the fact that it’s around that time that babies start forming memory recall, if he, well, remembered correctly.
But while he knew about reincarnation thanks to Shayera and Carter, he’d never exactly given it much thought towards himself. Because seriously, what were the chances of such a thing as him being given another chance?
So he was quite surprised at his situation, experimentally opening and closing pudgy hands that looked well, just a tiny bit off. He’d never been that pale before, he thinks, even back when he never went outside like, ever.
He turned his gaze towards the mobile above him with a sort of idle curiosity- a mixture of bats (ha) and other trinkets he wasn’t familiar with. It also caused him to get his first good look at his parent, asleep on a rocking chair right next to the crib.
Huh. They had the same pale skin he did, albeit in the light it looked like it was slightly tinted blue, and while their hair was white they didn’t exactly look old. They looked surprisingly well rested for raising a toddler too, unless they had a nanny or something similar… He rolled over, managing to very shakily push himself to his feet with the help of the crib.
Why was standing so hard as a toddler? And why did he have his memories of everything except how he had died anyway?
His head whipped up from where they were staring at his feet when he heard a snort, finding his parent awake and standing. Somehow silently enough that he hadn’t noticed- or he was that easily distracted by the unfamiliar giddiness bursting in his chest.
“Morning little bat,” his parent easily picked him up and held him while he inwardly sighed at the nickname. Of course his bat motif would follow him into this life. A low rumbling almost caused him to jump, his body relaxing before he could fully register the sound. The… purring?
Oh.
He wasn’t human this time around.

Spocktober + Trektober Day 12 - 3D Chess
I love this meme and I love the Animated Series and its janky ass animation :3 Also the fact that they gave Spock winged eyeliner. Iconique~
(ID under cut)
[Image ID: A black and white drawing of Captain James Kirk and Spock from Star Trek, specifically in the semi-realistic style of the 1970s Animated Series.
They are sitting either side of a table where a 3D chess board is in a late stage of play. Spock is sitting on the far side, hand over his mouth, contemplating the board with a raised eyebrow. Jim Kirk is in the foreground, tilted into the frame like the close-ups in the Animated Series, looking into the camera with an expression that could be anything, but is meant to be a smirk - his eyebrows drawn, mouth half-turned up.
There is text in the image. The text above Spock reads "My Vulcan science officer, not understanding how he's losing to me". The text next to Jim reads "Me, who's been eating his pieces when he's not looking".
Above the drawing is written "Trektober" and "Day 12 - 3D Chess" Below it is written "@aerialworms" and "Spocktober"./End ID]

OOOH BABY THIS ONE WAS A LONG TIME COMING.
NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE!!
YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A DAY LIKE ANY OTHER. A DAY OF ADVENTURE WITH YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS. OH HOW TIGHTLY YOU HOLD THEM TO YOUR CHEST, AND OH HOW TERRIFYING IT IS TO WATCH THEM GET EVISCERATED BY SOMETHING YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. MAYBE IF YOU JUST LISTENED A BIT MORE, IF YOU LET THE SMART ONE LEAD THE CHARGE, THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED. ONCE AGAIN YOUR IMPULSIVENESS LEADS TO DISASTER.
HEAR ME NOW, YOUNG TIDESTRIDER, YOUR STUPIDITY WILL BRING THE DEMISE OF EVERYTHING YOU WERE BORN AND FORGED TO PROTECT. HOW COULD THE PROPHECY HAVE CHOSEN SOMEONE SO USELESS?
I BET YOU WISH YOU CHOSE THE RIGHT LEVER.
FAILURE.
