“Psst! Old Geezer!”
“The fuck did you just call me–!” Dick Grayson was a lot of things–cop, detective, vigilante, handsome beyond mortal comprehension–but he wasn’t old! Twenty-three was not old! When he got his hands on that brat– “Oh, it’s you. You need to knock it off, kid.”
The kid in question had become something of a legend to the Central Bloodhaven Police Department. Detective O’Mallery had dubbed the kid “Stalky,” but Dick thought Lurky was a more accurate name; the kid lurked outside murder scenes, often showing up before the press… and sometimes, before the cops. Lurky was a short kid, easily half Dick’s height, and pale. He practically glowed, lighting up the alley Dick was guarding. He wore a black overcoat that swamped his tiny body, with the sleeves and hem cut to fit the child’s frame and a stiff gothic collar that reached his ears. Lurky’s black hair and blue eyes uncomfortably reminded Dick of—
“Nah, i don’t think i will,” the kid dismissed, shoving his hands in his pockets. “‘Sides, you can’t do anything to stop me.”
“I can arrest you,” Dick said, completely serious. “You’re interfering with a crime scene, again. I’d be well within my rights to do so.” The kid looked unimpressed.
“Okay, boomer.”
Dick resisted the urge to murder a child. Barely.
“Besides,” Lurky continued, “I just wanted to do my civic duty and inform you of the bloody knife three alleys over. Pretty sure it could help solve the crime scene there.” He gestured towards the apartment building behind Dick. “Andrew Grant-Williams, age 36, apartment 214. Right?”
“How the hell did you know that?”
“What, that thing with the knife? I looked for it, obviously.”
“No, about the suspect!” Dick glared at Lurky. “There’s no way you could have pinpointed who in the apartment died; did you steal a police radio!?” If he did, then Dick would actually have to arrest the kid.
“No, I didn’t steal a police radio. Yet.” Dick tried really hard to ignore that last part. He’d done far worse things as Robin, after all. “His wife told me.”
Andrew Grant’s wife, Patrisa, died four years ago in a mugging gone wrong. Before Dick could question Lurky further, Dick blinked and Lurky vanished just like Batman.
Even worse? Dick bothered checking the dumpster three alleys over and found, underneath a bag of kitchen scraps, a hunting knife, still bloody.

Koopaling Bracket - ROUND 3
time for the final round, already?
coming from the Left Bracket, we have Iggy "Hop" Koopa, known for his history of causing problems in Giant Land, Yoshi's Island, and Soda Jungle. he's got dorky glasses and inconsistently green hair, and most importantly for tumblr, he has his own weekly celebration! truly a force to be reckoned with in this tournament.
and the champion of the Right Bracket, we have Bowser Koopa Junior, the child of Bowser Koopa and Shigeru Miyamoto. the most recently introduced of the Koopalings, Junior's roles in his games tend to be very prominent, always eager to assist his father at whatever weird scheme he's cooked up this year.
two (quasi-canonically) brothers, each with their own dedicated fanbases rooting for them, and each with three not-quite-as-popular Koopalings behind them. but only one can be declared the Best Koopaling!

Name: Dubior
Debut: Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Kirby's Return to Dream Land is very realistic, because it accurately depicts the phenomenon that, when you go to space, you will encounter funny robots flying about! What is their purpose? We don't know! There is, however, a sort of controversy or misunderstanding revolving Dubior.
You see, Dubior grants the Spark ability. Because it is a robot that runs on electricity, and uses all sorts of electric attacks! However, many people do not like this, and think it should instead give the UFO ability.
Perhaps I am in the minority here, but I disagree! Dubior may be a flying machine in space, but at least to me, it does not seem all that much like a UFO! It is just a funny robot. The UFOs in this series have all had a very distinct design trend, which Dubior does not follow. Besides...
What is a UFO? An Unidentified Flying Object. Dubior is not unidentified. It's Dubior! It says it right there on its health bar! Objectively, Dubior is not a UFO. It is just a FO. And nobody says FO.
What Dubior HAS always reminded me of is those little handheld vibrating massagers! You know, the ones with a central round part and three or four orbs that vibrate and you rub it on your back? It is a fun thing to be reminded of!
Anyway, Dubior is a mid-boss, and a very special one! As Kirby and friends journey across Popstar, they will encounter various mid-bosses as usual, culminating in a classic Mid-Boss Tower Level in which they are fought one after another, each fight taking place higher in the tower.
This tower is so high that it pierces the atmosphere, and Dubior is fought last, on nearly the top floor! It is no coincidence that the most alien of foes is only on the closest point of this planet to outer space. This foreshadows that it will reappear, and more often, on the distant planet Halcandra! This seems to be where it was created, but for what reason? We don't know!
What we do know is that in Planet Robobot, the Haltmann Works Company uses Dubiors as part of their invasion! I assume they reprogrammed or recreated ones they found on Halcandra, since we know they have been there. It is the only of their returning mid-boss arsenal to not be mechanized, which is amusing. How are you going to mechanize a robot? You're not!
Geez. I can't believe I've said so much about Dubior and I have not even gotten to its wonderful antenna thing! It's clear by now I find Dubior delightful, but to me, the antenna is its best feature. When it first appears and sees Kirby, the three weird floating rectangles seem to freak out, growing and flashing red and white, as if it would be saying INTRUDER ALERT INTRUDER ALERT.
Dubior is also a parent! Happy birthday to Dubior Jr.! I love love looove when things are named like that. This is a machine! You would think it would be named something like Dubior Lite or Dubior Micro, but no! This was Born, and Named, after its proud robot parent. As were its many siblings, because many Dubior Jr.s can be spawned! Mollusc Fans may notice that Dubior Jr. looks quite like a nautilus, with a body like a curved shell, and a brim above its eyes like the leathery "hood" of a nautilus! It is a strange decision, since Dubior's design does not appear to draw from any real creature, but of course I am very happy about it. I'm Mollusc Fans!
Finally, we have Dubior EX, who I do not have much to say about, but am including because it would be wrong not to. This one is pink, and with only one eye, positioned to appear slightly menacing as opposed to regular Dubior's wide-eyed innocence! I prefer regular Dubior, but EX is very cool on its own merits, too.
If after all this you still consider Dubior to be UFO-like, I'm not upset with you.

First of all, Happy Friday. :D If this sparks a imagine in you mind - FSF, High Lord Slytherin and Harriet Potter/Slytherin - grandfather and granddaughter.
Happy Friday! 💖
****
"Granpapa," High Heiress Harriet Slytherin says as she toddles into his office, "tea party time."
High Lord Tom Slytherin glares at his best friends, Lord Theodred Nott and Lord Abraxas Malfoy, as they silently laugh at him. He scoops his precious little serpent up in his arms and says, "Should we invite Granpapa's friends too?"
Harriet looks over at them, her emerald green eyes narrowed and her tiny lips pursed before declaring, "No, too old."
Tom smirks as Abraxas splutters gracelessly and carries Harriet off for their afternoon tea party.

Sleepy lab time
In honor of Donnie giving Mob a run for his money, (i'm honestly surprised he did as well as he did) i'm posting this now instead of tomorrow.
Basically, whenever CJ has a nightmare/can't sleep, Cass sends him to Dee. Not b/c she can't handle getting the kid to sleep, but b/c she knows if Dee does it, they'll both get sleep. Dee doesn't get a lot of sleep as it is so if using their shared child to con him into getting some works, well, she's not going to not do it.
Dee, on the other hand, is well aware this is what's going on but cannot turn away CJ cuddles on principle.

wednesday snippet
thx for tagging me @soreddieforit
He could feel the moment Evan froze, his features slackening from shock, “Excuse me?”
“I mean it wasn’t even that good,” he said offhandedly. “I’ve had better.”
“I’m a great kisser,” Evan looked at him weirdly, like he couldn’t believe the words that were coming out of his mouth.
Barty patted his shoulder mockingly, “Sorry mate, I mean E for effort but to get an O you’d need to-”
“Shut the fuck up,” Evan shook his head in disbelief. “You’ve gotta be kidding me right now. I know I’m a good kisser.”
Barty had to hide his smile from glee, “How many people have you kissed?” Barty scoffed. “I’m sure Emmeline has to tell you you're great ‘cause she’s your girlfriend, but as your best mate I consider it my duty to tell you the truth.”
