Sorta a continuation of this post.

I’ve been thinking more about reverse robins AU with Duke as the Dick/Nightwing parallel, and I have some ideas.

So like, Duke came first. He was the light to Batman’s darkness. I don’t know if he would start off with Signal or another mantle and become Signal later on, but he definitely had the bright colors from the start. Batman might be the Dark Knight but Duke was Gotham’s (K)night Light. Batman fought what hid in the shadows but Signal chased the shadows away, provided a guiding light home. He was the Sunshine when the never ending grey clouds got too thick. He was Gothams hope and inspiration for a brighter future.

But don’t forget he was also a menace. I don’t think it would go down exactly like it did in the comics, it was the early years for Batman-and for the villains as well. After Duke’s parents were gone (maybe by Joker still turning them mad with Joker gas in Joker earliest year, maybe year one for him or something else) he started planning. He started working harder in school, focusing on the sciences to one day make a cure but also would go out looking for his parents, like in canon. He would stumble into things way bigger, overhearing plots from villains and mafias and decided to become an inconvenience for them. Letting the airs out of tires when no one was watching, a fire alarm pulled right before an attack, door stoppers on the outside of each door to a warehouse trapping the villains who where planning inside. A sudden strong of bad luck befalling the main terrors of Gotham. It didn’t go unnoticed, especially by Batman. Duke kept his streak of being unseen until one night he crossed paths with the Bat.

Bruce for his part would have know about the little boy who lost his parents in the attack, and it would have also brought up some memories for him as well. He would have kept a small track of him, but noticed he was in foster care so didn’t do much until one day he came across the reason behind all the karma the villain have be having. Looking into the boys eyes and seeing the same fire that he had, blazing more fierce as Duke explains how he will find his parents and save them, and if he could prevent more bad things along the way he will. Something pinging in Bruce’s soul, this kid lost his parents like he did but not fully, and he still had hope among the need for justice, something that had faded so long ago for himself. He took Duke back that day, promising that he will find Duke’s parents, and kept a closer eye on him after the fact.

Duke noticed that after that day it became like clockwork, he would sneak out, search Gotham, cause a little chaos, get caught by the Bat and brought back to his current foster home. Bruce did some digging, looked for Dukes parents but also found out that Leslie Thompkins was the person in charge of Duke’s case. After a few weeks of the new schedule he met up with Dr. Thompkins. They talked about how Duke has been bounced around from home to home and sneaking out to find his parents almost every night. After a long conversation, and not as much convincing as one would expect, Duke found himself being driven to his next foster home, Wayne Manor.

Okay I’m going to leave this here for now. I ended up writing so much more than I though I would lmao. I have more ideas and will probably continue this soon.

Hi

It's been brought to my attention that there are people out there who are sadly plagiarising my work again.

1. This is not okay.

To clarify, while I'm very happy for people to take inspiration from my stories (in the same way you might any book you read from a bookshop), I don't want my work used or reposted without credit.

I'm not going to go into lengths on why it is wrong to plagiarise someone else's writing. I don't think my tumblr post is magically going to change anyone's mind, especially as if you've followed me long enough you know we've done this rodeo before.

So.

2. How to tell when writing is plagiarised

It can be very difficult to tell when something is plagiarised, especially if we have never come across the original work before and have no reason to recognise it.

I don't think it's realistic for everyone to vet everything they come across online for plagiarism, but it's also something I don't see talked about a lot for fiction.

These questions to ask yourself are not foolproof and not applicable to everything. But I think they can be a start.

If the writer has posted more than one story, is there a similarity across them? While writing style can change across an author's different pieces, there is still usually going to be a similar feel across stories if they came from the same person. Writers have voices and quirks and little things that are specific to them. If every piece feels wildly different then it might be coming from different places. This is probably going to come down to gut reaction and instinct in the first instance. But that's okay. Because that gut reaction is just there to make you think twice and maybe investigate more thoroughly.

How much are they posting? Can people churn an extraordinary amount of words out? Yes, sometimes. But...as a general ballpark, no. Writing takes time and effort. If someone is coming out with enormous amounts of writing every day or week or month or whatever, then this can be a hint to look a little closer.

Do you ever see hints of their writing process? Can the writer talk about their characters or what they want out of the story or anything like that? Do they ever post a story organically in response to a request or whatever? Not all writers know in-depth everything about their story or characters or plot, but the main point here is that the finished product is the tip of the iceberg. If someone is a writer than there is more going on beneath the surface of the posted stories.

I hope this helps!

“Izzy emotionally abused Ed into being Blackbeard for years”

My sibling in Calypso, that is your headcanon. That is not information we were given in the show. It’s fine to have headcanons but please don’t act like other people are wrong for having different headcanons for periods of time that we did not see in the show.

#ofmd #our flag means death #like there’s much more to support the idea that Blackbeard was something Ed and Izzy built together #and that Ed’s discomfort with the Blackbeard persona was a recent development #that he never properly actually communicated with Izzy #but I’ll concede that that’s also just a headcanon #there’s literally no evidence that Izzy has been abusing Ed for years

The great reddit blackout is happening today to protest reddits plan to charge third party apps outrageous prices to continue to make reddit accessible to people with disabilities and those who moderate large subs for free using bots to keep the communities safe and free from hate. Some threads are going dark until the 14th, some till the end of the month when it's officially decided whether the increased prices will go through, and some are going dark forever.

Don't let corporate greed win. Stand with your community, stand with your disabled friends, stand with those who create a space for those who have none and don't let them fall

#reddit blackout #reddit #we can resist the future they want for us #community #disability #blind #sight impaired #moderators #disabled community #resist #i stand with you #the world is built on the people who run things for passion not greed

I’m tired of seeing AI generated stuff. Ethically it’s shit, yeah. But more than that it’s fucking ugly. The warped text, the odd placement of objects, the lack of objects (like fingers and stuff)- it’s hideous. And it’s so baffling to see large scale companies use it and it just looks like shit. And the ai generated scripts and ai generated voice actors too- like??? Hire a writer! Hire a voice actor! It sounds awful! I tried to use Duolingo again recently and couldn’t get past how unnatural the shit sounds. Yeah you’re cutting corners but you’re cutting them with a wonky ass knife. The quality is poor. Pack it up.

Day at the Pumpkin Patch

With the beginning of fall in New England, one activity Valerie always looks forward to is visiting the local pumpkin patch with her little sister Valentina. After completing their yearly tradition, they get the best spiced apple cider for themselves and head home to carve the pumpkins they picked out. 🍂☕

that's it it's done i had a feeling it was going to end today a lot of things were happening very quickly a lot of storylines being wrapped up

but it ended.....it really ended

i'm not sad but i'm not happy i wanted more but i'm also ok with what was made and i'm glad it got an ending instead of just petering off

this was all done for free in one person's free time after working their job they'd come home to draw and interact with the people who loved their work this was all done for the love of a story and characters

i'm not gonna stop making fanart of it i still have so much wips for it and i'm of course gonna go back and reread everything now with knowing eyes of what's to come and seeing all the little hints

this is something that's gonna stick with fans for a long time

if we never get a season 3 of rise, i can be content with this being our season 3

C.A.S. is canon to me

so thank you @somerandomdudelmao
