What is Haven's Bar about?

Haven's Bar is about a guy names James Valentine who comes across a weird bar that's full of aliens! And it can connect to anywhere it wants. (Time, place, etc)

I started it in 2017 and it was a webcomic for a short while but I never got far in it. :( Oops.

But the main characters are James Valentine (Protag), Tyler Freeman (James' BFF), Charlotte Pretorius (Rebellion Leader) and Haven (Bar Owner).

A biomed student, a graphic design student, and a theology student walk into a bar…

The drawing without a background + the sketch because I’m not suuuuper jazzed about how it looks with one but it looked too empty without it

Also, I tried asking ChatGPT to finish the joke for me:

strap in for this week's fic flavor: the failsafe episode of season one of the young justice cartoon except the simulation just won't. fuckin. end.

(fics that inspired this at the end)

If I ever did sit down to make my own fic, I'd split it in 3 parts:

The Simulation: bits and pieces of the 40 years Dick lives after most everyone he knows has died

The Return: the immediate aftermath and healing from the trauma of having not-quite-actually lived a whole life only to wake up and find out it was all fake. nothing traumatizing about that whatsoever.

The Unintended Consequence: aka the twist I'd love to add and would hint to in the second part - finding out the simulation, through martian mind fuckery, pulled from the real world (and in many cases, from real minds). Dick meets a bunch of people he didn't think were real outside the confines of his simulated life. A bunch of rowdy, heroism-inclined teens across the years get to meet the sibling/friend/mentor figure they all dreamed up one night.

(actual idea snippets under the cut)

.

Dick Grayson is 14 and most of the world's heroes have died. He planned a suicide mission that left him the sole survivor of a doomed team he helped found. The invasion may have been stopped, but is this really the price he wanted to pay?

The first face he sees in the infirmary is Roy's, and he has to close his eyes and just breathe for a few minutes because for one painful moment he'd thought it was Wally. But this isn't the world where his best friend miraculously survived alongside him. This is the one where he got his best friend killed and didn't even give him the courtesy of following behind him. Behind them.

.

Dick Grayson is 27 and has lived longer without Bruce than with him. The invasion's anniversary is always a tough day for him, but that morning seems especially harrowing. He'll get shit for it later, but can't resist stepping out onto the balcony of the manor's master bedroom (Bruce's old bedroom) for a smoke -- his first since he'd promised to quit if Jason, just 15 then, did too.

"Bad habits tend to pile up," he'd said, a rueful quirk to his tired grin. He'd tapped the cigarette twice on the railing and added, lower, "and this one's especially nasty, huh."

He inhales, watches the sun creep across the horizon, and lets acrid smoke burn through his lungs for a long moment before blowing it out in a small cloud. His eyes water, but he doesn't cough. It tastes just as bad as it did the first time he smoked one, not even a year after the invasion and treading water as Robin proved insufficient.

There hadn't been enough heroes to go around then, and Dick had been trained by one of the best. It hadn't been fair, but it had been his plan that had ultimately stopped the invasion. His shoulders everyone's expectations fell on.

He takes another drag, then smudges the lit end against the rail he's leaned on when he hears a boot scuff purposefully against the roofing above him.

"Todd and Pennyworth will be upset with you."

He doesn't turn around. Damian doesn't jump down to join him.

.

Dick Grayson is 54 and wakes up in a room full of ghosts. He hears his long-dead father-figure tell his long-dead team about a simulation they weren't meant to win. A training exercise gone wrong and only half a day spent under their mentors' careful, if slightly panicked, supervision.

He looks at his hands, watching the way his gloves crease when he flexes them in and out of tight fists. He looks at his team, their eyes a little haunted but shoulders slumped with relief even as they grumble. Batman's heavy, gloved hand settles on his shoulder and the weight of it is a nauseating mix of foreign-familiar.

He opens his mouth. Closes it.

Tears prick his eyes behind his domino mask, and he tells himself the suffocating, acidic void building in his chest is just some leftover side effect of the ordeal and not the grief-guilt of outliving yet another family (no matter that they hadn't been real in the end).

.

Dick Grayson is 16-going-on-56 and well used to the coincidences piling up between his simulated life and the real thing. Some of it -- missions and villains he remembers cropping up -- he's marked for Bruce to review and sort as he pleases. Some -- security for the cave, team building anecdotes, and training regimens -- he's shared with the team. And some he keeps only for himself.

Tim is one of those. He knows it's not fair to the kid (so much smaller now than he ever was when Dick lived his simulated life), but he can't help being selfish just for this. Tim is the one kid he's sure he didn't make up, and if Dick's taken to babysitting the kid just to be near at least one member of the family he built for himself in the wake of the worst days of his life .... Well, anyone who says shit about it can happily stand in line to have their teeth kicked in.

Despite this, it still catches him off-guard when he sees a familiar face pop up in one of Bruce's reports.

Jason Todd, caught boosting tires off the batmobile, is nearly the same age now as he was when Dick met him. He stares at the words, but none of them really sink in beyond the kid's name and address. He's moving before he's even made the decision.

He's used to the world kicking him when he's down - lived it for 40 frustrating years. But he has Bruce again. And things with Tim have been so good. And he's always been selfish when it comes to family. If he could just see Jason. If he could just meet him. If he could talk to him.

If if if if if--

I need to come out to my synagogue soon because my voice has dropped a noticeable amount and it's getting to the point where not saying anything raises more questions than not. The congregation is very progressive, albeit in a way that is sometimes too enthusiastic, and I need to find a way to let everybody know that both isn't a big attention-grabbing statement and lets enough people understand my deal that I don't have to field a million individual conversations

#I mean there's going to be questions and conversations obviously. I just want the least amount possible #Dgmr I'm reform Jewish in the Florida version of a blue haven (which is more uhhh purple). They'll be fine. #We have a booth at pride every year. Honestly they've all just thought I'm a butch lesbian since we joined when I was like 11. #Probably also think I'm nonbinary or something because I asked for the male traditional gift at my bar mitzvah #And wear kippot and yk. Call it a bar mitzvah #Idk. We had a guest come who was writing an article #And I told her my legal name then froze up when she asked my pronouns and told her to use whatever. Which definitely #Made her think I was nonbinary. Feel bad for leaving a bad impression esp since we discussed gender and Judaism #Like at this point I need to say something before the whole congregation starts they/themming me without asking #*Wrong impression. Whoops

More VN mockup art, this time it's Corpi the displaced jungle huntress. 🏋️‍♀️🍖🍫

I'm sure dating someone who spent twenty-odd years surviving in the wilderness of a death world with no context of a spacefaring human society would be interesting.

It’s still so fucking funny that my mom insists she’s not goth. She likes the Cure more than I do, she practically kins Morticia Addams and has had her as her default online avatar since the early 2000s, she loves gothic literature (she’s even read Lair of the White Worm and you gotta be REALLY dedicated to read that one ngl. AND she owns the movie on DVD), she has permanent Halloween decorations in her house, she practices the type of witchcraft that freaks other witches out, most of her friends when I was a kid were goth, when “whimsigoth” became trendy she admitted that it’s exactly how she dressed in the 2000s... 

But she’s like “No I’m not goth, because when goth split from new wave and post-punk I stayed at the new wave and the punk clubs instead of going to the clubs all the goths were going to” 

Like mom. Mom. It’s been four decades and we live in an area where there’s no clubs of any variety. I don’t think that’s the defining criteria for which type of weirdo you are anymore

#I mean ok technically there's two clubs. sort of #One is a bar that does goth nights but we don't go there because everyone my bff and I hate from our renfaire goes there #And the other is a club in New Haven where my godfather died on stage while playing in a ska punk band #That's not a slight against the venue in any way we just don't go there because it's a pain in the ass to get to. It's a good club

natsume is releasing a new harvest moon game that looks semi-decent... but I can't bring myself to support them at all. they're using the harvest moon name to trick people into buying because there are still a lot of people who don't realise story of seasons is the original harvest moon (natsume is the publisher, not developer. since then natsume split from marvelous but kept the name) sure the game looks a lot better than the lost valley (natsumes first harvest moon solo release) which I played for about 10 mins and couldn't bear to play any more of it </3 but it doesn't mean it will be any good.

farming sims are HUGE now. there are new ones being released every month it feels like, and I love that for me, but sometimes they really miss the mark. I personally prefer small maps for example, I prefer games focusing on the farming (not to say I don't like larger maps or anything but it can be a lot to manage, especially time-wise) I keep trying to enjoy coral island but it's HUGE and not entirely easy to navigate at first so it keeps putting me off 😭 it's really good in itself but I need more time with it me thinks

#also ci is Clunky to me. #i am waiting for further development on it. because i know i will love it! #i have been playing sun haven and i am IN love with it btw #it's kinda Big sure but you can adjust the length of the day and !! it's got fantasy aspects which i love #also its not grindy at all ... like it flows nicely and theres no stamina bar to worry about #i actually find myself doing a LOT with my day and working until it hits 11pm in the game #whereas some farming games the day drags or theres not enough to do and i end up sleeping early just to pass time #so i would highly recommend sun haven !!! #oh i also am playing harvestella but a little More slowly !! that's been fun so far <3 a bit slow to start but yes :3 #kye.txt
