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.

Hey y’all deranged post here
If you ship ZADR in a weird way (like aging them both up (in the nsfw sense) or having Zim be the adult and Dib being a child) literally get off my blog your actually gross
Zim is a child (he goes to school with Dib, acts like one, talks like one and in general is a child) and there are plenty of characters who are YEARS old and who are still children (The collector, that one genshin character, Etc) Not to mention that space works differently than earth (No Duh.)
Now if I see any proshippers spout any nonsense or anyone saying ZADR is proship I will actually blow you up.
ALSO DNI PROSHIP IF IT WASNT OBVIOUS.

going through my drafts is like an archeological excavation because i found another azul wip i had forgotten about. this one is an au i wanted to write in which azul is a vengeful deity who had been forcibly put to sleep hundreds of years ago and is now only just beginning to awaken. the fate of one island rests in the not-so-capable hands of ace, deuce, and reader. and the dynamic really feels like this:

can we talk about how, in the light novel nanami refers to yuji as ‘sukuna’s vessel’ and gojo quickly cuts him off by saying ‘I’m not talking about Sukuna’s vessel, but a boy by the name of Itadori Yuji’. i think he may have also been thinking about himself in this moment as well. yuji who’s known as just a vessel and gojo who’s only known as the strongest.
