Pickles has a pizazbox on top, yes. That good old warm rain in the spring! Steam is coming up from the concrete. Second piece of the spring collection! ^^

Charles is about to call them inside.

Dp x Dc prompt #4

After discovering weird energy readings coming from the Pit located underneath Gotham, Batman decides to check it out.

Arriving at the scene with Robin, the first thing they notice is not any escaped Arkham rogue or Assassin from the League like they had been expecting.

No, instead, next to the pit sits a random exhausted-looking guy. Next to him are studying materials which he seems to be working on, and he’s also holding a straw that’s dipped straight into the Pit, occasionally taking a sip.

prompt 01: gotham academy's mentorship program

“Mr. Wayne, thank you so much for finding the time to meet with me.” Principal Carson, someone Bruce, became more and more familiar with as the years passed, welcomed him into his office. 

“I hope my children aren’t causing you too much trouble, Mr. Carson.” Bruce chuckled lightly, sitting in the guest seat. 

“After your generous donations to the school, I would find that difficult to believe.” Mr. Carson laughed conversationally, before getting right to business. “Actually, the reason I wanted to meet with you in person rather than over the phone despite, I’m sure, your busy schedule was to discuss Damian.” 

Damian had come to the Manor about a year and a half ago, and had been attending Gotham Academy for almost 9 months. Bruce had hoped that going to school with other kids his age would help Damian become more sociable and learn about larger society outside of the Bat, Birds, and League, but that was proving to be difficult considering the almost regular calls Alfred received from the school about Damian’s behavior or actions. 

Bruce couldn’t help the weary sigh that escaped him, “I assure you Principal Carson, we-” 

“I think you're misunderstanding, Mr. Wayne. Damian is not in any kind of trouble.” Mr. Carson reassured, “Well, for now that is.” He chuckled dryly. 

“Ah.” Bruce nodded, letting his airhead persona take the lead, while still showing that he was paying careful attention. 

“In the last few years, Gotham Academy started a mentorship program, where the younger kids usually between the grades of 5-8 can get mentored by their seniors. Damian is a brilliant child, concerningly so I believe. His peers often can’t keep up with him in terms of academics, but he lags far behind them in social skills. I think Damian would benefit from the mentorship program, where he can have someone who can truly keep up with him intellectually as well as guide him socially.” Mr. Carson explained. 

Bruce considered this, letting the idea turn over in his mind. Perhaps this is what Damian would need. “You sound like you have someone in mind.” 

“I believe the best candidate for the job would be Daniel Fenton.” Mr. Carson handed him the student profile. “He’s here on a Wayne Scholarship, which he’s held for the past year. Mr. Fenton is currently in the 11th grade, his chosen career path is astrophysics, which he plans to pursue into college. His grades are outstanding despite his difficult classes, and his professors all share the same sentiment that Mr. Fenton holds one of the greatest minds in the Academy. He shares many of the same classes with Tim as well. He has a friendly personality and gets along well with most people, pretty athletically inclined as well. All around Mr. Fenton is what Gotham Academy hopes our student to be.” 

Bruce looked over the profile in his hand. Daniel James Fenton seemed like an outstanding student. Perhaps it was time to put him to the test with Damian Wayne. 

---

When Danny had been called to the office, because apparently they had assigned him a mentee, he had been expecting the worst. All the scholarship students had to sign up for the mentorship program to be on standby if a mentee ever applied. All the other scholarship kids had said it was just a formality and that none of them ever got called for it. But classic Fenton Luck. 

When Danny walked into Principal Carson’s office he was prepared to be faces with some snot-nosed brat who wouldn’t know how to take no for an answer and didn’t care about classes because they would just inherit their parents big shot company was what he was expecting. 

So imagine his surprise when he walks into a room to a liminal kid, probably around 12, who looks like he wants to be there as much as Danny does. Danny takes one look at the kid who’s trying to project himself as angry and menacing, but Danny could easily read the kid's true emotions of nervous-scared-anxious thanks to their shared less-alive-than-one-would-expect status. 

“Daniel, welcome. This is Damian Wayne. He’ll be your new mentee from now on.” Mr. Carson smiled kindly, gesturing for Danny to sit down. The liminal kid - Damian - scowled at him, projecting irritation. But all Danny could feel off of him was nervousness.

Danny was screwed, wasn’t he?

ML: How celebrity impacts your your day-to-day life? Does it make you lose your spontaneity?

LH: No, I'm pretty...spontaneous! I think it's an interesting journey. It's definitely not what you thought it would be. As a kid, when you see people on TV and you're like 'oh, it must be cool! this must happen, having money' all these different things but it's not all great! I think over time you just learn how to handle it. Ultimately, at some stage you realize that it's not really about you. It's a platform to do good. So, if you just have the right intentions, you can actually have a real positive impact. I think that's probably what it's mostly for.

#refreshing question #loved the answer you can tell it came from experience and 🤌🏾 growth 🤌🏾 #i'm pretty ✨spontaneous✨ you don't say #presser: miami gp 2024 #lewis hamilton #f1 #miami gp 2024

Been a couple of years, but I still think fondly of Grace Monroe from Infinity Train for achieving that very rare redemption arc narrative of "the people you hurt are allowed to sever all ties, and you can still become a better, happier person."

#grace monroe #grace infinity train #infinity train #in a sea of demands that you must always forgive the people who hurt you no matter what #it was nice to see a plot that gave good weight to feelings and motivations on both side of the equation #hm. #come to think of it #it seems a lot of redemption arcs usually go the route #of redemption through death #or very quick if not immediate acceptance into team the people you traumatized #much more rare to see a redemption arc #where the one on the journey to redemption has to accept that at least some people they've hurt can't or won't forgive them #but that this doesn't automatically mean they can't become a kinder person #hell in grace's case it was pretty shocking/refreshing to see that it was precisely because someone set a hard no-contact boundary with her #that she lost someone she loved but still hurt #which really forced her to reconsider what she was doing #it was a true 'oh no not the quencies' kind of story #but also a 'you will accept the quencies and go forward with your life & hard gained knowledge' narrative #redemption arcs

Underrated thing about Mikami is how little he ever inner monologues or talks to anybody else or overexplains himself. Such a sexy trait in this series full of r/iamverysmart soliloquyers

#boring you say? #refreshing i say #hes giving us nothing except a blank page that says he loves kira and winston churchill #and what more do we need #this post brought to you by me being like god none of the DN geniuses EVER shut up do they #and then being like oh yeah i guess mikami was supposed to be pretty smart #p #death note #mikami

#Steven bap your own fluffy bangs. #Okay last connverse-related (but more Connie-focused this time) doodle for the day. 😅 #She's studying for colleg #College girl Connie #Maybe he can bargain. Five baps for one heal to feel refreshed again. #I don't know why but Connie suddenly showing up with bangs in the show made me think of a 'boy next door' look. lmao #I'm like. Do they looks like that? But my brain is telling me yup pretty much. So I just blindly agreed. #Well it do be like that sometimes. Sometimes you just don't know why your brain tell you something kinda sus. #Oki she get frizzy hair sumtimes that's my headcanon now #connverse #Steven Quartz Universe #Connie Maheswaran #skedoobles #Ngl I like it more if the animators kept Connie's bangs matted than fluffy. But also ngl I do kinda think making it fluffy is easier. #my shiz

aventurine is romani, apparently! i hope hoyo doesn't fuck up his writing, because 2.0 just came out and there's already racist dialogue against him (although it was prob intended to make the player uncomfortable.)

also possible origins of the word "Sigonian," from r/HonkaiStarRail/about_aventurine and tweet from scawamoochi

also check out thesilverhunt3r's post and its reblogs

more rambling - minor spoilers below

i can't wait for his sad backstory & probably-very-important role in the main story & for the other characters to start appreciating him more. i'm a little delusional BUT IT WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN TO SOME EXTENT

despite aventurine seeming just as sketchy as the other characters, i think he's a deliberate red herring (compared to: acheron, who's initially presented as trustworthy but is later revealed to be not what she seems. black swan, who offers to help the astral express crew, but doesn't tell them that she made a deal with aventurine involving them. firefly, who deliberately hides her past from trailblazer and repeatedly says she's NOT a stowaway... although that one wasn't hard to see through.)

aventurine has been surprisingly upfront with us. i'm sure he will still deceive us at one point, but in contrast to the aforementioned examples, i think he'll do it for the greater good of penacony. or at least... some kind of greater good? okay definitely getting delusional here since he's not very interested in heroics. but WE WILL SEE

i can't wait to make a full gambling team with aventurine + silver wolf + qingque + free slot?

#honkai star rail #hsr 2.0 #aventurine #hsr aventurine #penacony #another pseudo-spoiler: #sparkle's got a NASTY personality #it's refreshing but also off-putting for me #which makes me conflicted bc her design is pretty and gameplay leaks seem really good #but her personality is... uh..... i don't think i'll pull for her

How is the part fifth of the cult AU going?

Don't want you to feel pressure with the ask, feel free to ignore it. Take care❤️

It's currently just shy of 5k! I took a break for a bit, but momentum has returned. And I have some very fun scenes in mind I think people will like!

#answers #writing is hard #The break was needed but I am now refreshed #Also a few days off for the eclipse trip I made #That shit was rad #Even more fun: I'll *finally* get to one of the scenes I wrote previously #Then realized 'shit it's gonna take a while to get to that one isn't it' #Looking forward to when I get to copy/paste that into the document from my scene storage unit #Cult AU should only be six chapters and I'm pretty good at estimating length by now #But they'll be long chapters so there should be much to read
