The Fall of Fair City - Chapter 8
The ride back to the lair was silent and tense as Dr. Two Brains drove. He insisted he was still fine to drive despite his henchmen's protests. "Are you sure your okay boss? Maybe you can lie down in the back if your not feeling well. Charlie and I can drive back." Joey had suggested to the villain. Two Brains didn't want anyone to worry about him right now. He felt fine. Sure his body was sore but that comes with age and nothing was broken at all. Dr. Two Brains grunted a bit as he clutched the side of his head again, feeling a headache which most likely came from getting blasted by that weird and infernal contraption. Two Brains could feel the henchmen staring at him with concern but not opting to say anything as to not agitate their boss's current mood. The mad scientist gave a mental sigh, while he was fine physically, his mental health was another problem. This time it wasn't the usual things one would deal with as a result of being fused to a vicious lab mouse with an obsession for cheese. He couldn't shake that vision he experience while out cold. On one one hand he swore it was a memory of his childhood. There were details from it that he could still recall today. On the other hand, it felt like he was having a nightmare, seeing that evil duplicate version of his kid self. Still, Dr. Two Brains couldn't help shake a cold feeling in his stomach that despite the fantastical imagery, that vision was all too real in a certain and strange sense. That sent a shiver down his spine. Becky anxiously waited for her dad to get home after dropping off the henchmen. Becky could feel Bob patting her knee in comfort, but it wasn't helping ease her worries or anxious thoughts right now. 'Maybe I should have taken dad to a hospital in the first place, or at least stayed with him until an ambulance arrived. I should have at least tied him up so he wouldn't have touched the machine in the first place.' Becky felt her worries and guilt eat at her. She knew her dad looked fine, but seeing her dad accidentally get shocked and hurt by an invention always made her frantic, anxious, and wracked with worry. Any incident that was like...that day, always made her feel this badly. That incident was always a sore subject in the Boxleitner household. Becky was suddenly snapped out of her troublesome thoughts when she heard the doorknob turning. She swiveled her head to see her dad walk into their home like nothing had happened in the last few hours. "Dad! Your back!" Becky exclaimed as she jumped up from the couch she was sitting on and ran towards her dad, giving him a tight hug. "Woah! Easy there kiddo, Still a bit sore from earlier." Dr. Two Brains joked as he winced a little from his child's elated hug. Becky quickly released him, looking sheepish and apologetic for forgetting. "Sorry." she muttered. "That's alright Becky. I understand what your feeling right now. Though it is a good idea to not reveal your emotions like that in front of people while your Wordgirl." Dr. Two Brains lightly scolded her, alluding to earlier. Becky flushed redder. "I know dad I'm sorry. I was just worried. You weren't waking up and I didn't know if you were okay." Becky began to explain frantically. Then she stopped as a thought came to her. "Was how I treated The Learnerer too mean?" Becky asked with concern. Dr. Two Brains sighed, his demeanor calmer, he knew why she asked that type of question. All courtesy of a certain alien bully. Dr. Two Brains knelt down and placed a gentle hand on his daughter's shoulders and stared right into her gaze. "No kiddo. The way you reacted was typical of how any child would feel seeing their parents hurt." He then kissed her forehead and straightened himself up. A warm smile forming on his face. "Let's forget about today and I'll make some of my special deep cheese dish lasagna for dinner and watch some tv later. Sound good?" The mad scientist suggest. Both Becky and Bob nodded very eagerly and happily at the idea. @melodythebunny @drtwobrainsstuff

In the wise words of the philosopher Curtis Mega, "A Spy is a spy is a spy is a spy is a spy is a spy is a spy" which roughly means "You will only think about spies are forever for weeks on end" I know I have been completely consumed by saf so I'm making it everyone's problem. I'm drawing every saf character daily!
I'm getting the n@zis out of the way so today's character is Hans, Joey Richters henchman

hey can i pls request ledger joker getting angry and possessive w reader for having a quick and meaningless interaction w one of his goons? thank u
Nobody Messes With My Girl
Ledger!Joker x Fem!Reader
Warnings: Violence, murder, just J things
Summary: One of J’s goons tries to make a move on you, he finds out, and things do not go well
Author’s Note: Hi anon! Oooh I like this idea! Sorry it took me so long to answer. I didn’t forget I promise. I hope I did this right. I’m not the greatest at writing a dark J. Also, I know you didn’t ask for a fem reader but I forgot to mention when I first started writing these that I write with a fem reader in mind. Two of my writings I left as a neutral reader but the rest I updated to fem. Anyways as always, enjoy!
Taglist: @alittlesmartcookie
Tumblr media
It was just a meaningless and actually somewhat weird conversation. Creepy men talked to you all the time. It was a sad fact of life. You thought nothing of it. But apparently J did. 
As you opened your apartment door, you walked inside and shut the door behind you. Just as you turned around, J was towering over you and he did not look happy.
“J? Are you okay? What’s wrong?” 
Before you could continue, you were silenced by J’s hand clamped over your mouth and his other hand holding your throat.
“Think you can fool me? I’m not stupid, y/n!” 
By now you were in tears. You pushed him away. 
“What the hell are you talking about?” You shouted.
J rolled his eyes. “Oh don’t play dumb. I have eyes everywhere. I saw you flirting with one of my men.”
“What? Flirting? J, what are you talking about?” 
J just looked at you dumbfounded. Maybe you genuinely didn’t know.
“Earlier today when you went out for some errands, you passed one of my men who was keeping watch over this place. You were talking to him for a long time. I saw it on the security footage.” 
“Ohhhh. That guy. You thought I was flirting? Eww no! If anything he was flirting with me. He started talking first. It really made me uncomfortable. Honest.”  
J relaxed a bit. “Oh. Sorry bunny.” 
He kissed your cheek apologetically but you could still see the fiery anger in his dark eyes. He said nothing else about the encounter and you guessed the matter was over. Boy were you wrong.
The next day
It was late at night and J had not come home yet. You were sitting in the living room doing some online shopping on your computer. You nearly jumped out of your skin when J burst through the door, dragging a bloody and rather distressed looking man behind him. You recognized him as the man from yesterday.
Oh no.
“J! What are you doing?!” You shouted.
“Settle down bunny. I’m just trying to prove a point.” J told you.
You didn’t like how calm he was. One of his henchmen was literally bleeding out on your living room floor. 
“C’mere.” J called you over.
You reluctantly obeyed. J leaned down in the man’s face. 
“Now, listen here, uh, Joey, is it?”
“Y-Yes.” The man stammered.
“Joey, this beautiful woman here is mine. You know that. That’s why you were tasked to guard this place. Yesterday you talked to her rather, uh, flirtatiously and made her very uneasy.”
“I didn’t say two words to her!” Joey shouted.
You could see the sheer terror in his eyes. He knew despite his boss’ calm demeanor he was furious and was most likely going to kill him. J kicked him in his wounded side. The man screamed and clutched the wound.
“Don’t lie to me, Joey. You are well aware that I have eyes everywhere.” J shouted.
“Please J. Please don’t kill me. I’m sorry. It won’t happen again. I swear it.” Joey sobbed.
“Oh I know it won’t. You my friend are going to be made an example of. Nobody messes with my girl and lives.” 
J pulled out a pistol from his pocket. You shut your eyes closed and covered your ears, burying your face into J’s chest. You heard the muffled shot ring out and looked up. The henchman’s dead body was sprawled out on the floor. You prayed no one else in the building heard the noise.
“J! Why?!” You demanded.
“Relax, bunny. It had to be done. I didn’t like him anyway.” 
“Why did you do it here? In front of me! You could’ve done it at the hideout!” 
“I wanted ya to see. I thought he grossed ya out.”
You put a hand to your forehead and sighed. “I did not want to see this. And yeah, he did but you didn’t have to murder him in my living room! Look, you got blood on the couch! What are you even gonna do with the body?” 
Joker laughed. “Calm down, doll. I’ve got that covered and I’ll clean up. I’m gonna bring him back to the hideout and put him on display for everybody to see. Nobody’s gonna mess with you again.” 
You felt sick to your stomach. “That’s…great.”
Just as J had said, he took the body to the hideout and showed it off at his next meeting. The other henchmen got the message. You were completely off limits. They were not to even talk to you. Unless J gave them permission which would probably hardly ever happen. 
This whole ordeal made you realize that you had to be more careful. J was a very jealous man. You would never ever cheat on him but even simple conversations with other men was enough to set him off. You appreciated how protective he was towards you but sometimes it became too much.
Late night murder in your living room was far too extreme.

re watched fiona and cake and suddenly got an idea
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Professor Two Brains au! :3.
Steven still fuses with squeaky for a while he struggles to control his cheese craving however he finds a way to get rid of his craving for cheese. >:33333 (Winter King gave me this idea XDD)
Word girl is gone in this au. no one knows what happened to her or captain huggy face. it's a touchy topic for Professor T.B.
Professor T.B. is a hero unlike his OG counterpart. he has a team of smart mice as henchmen (or henchmice XD) and uses his gagdets to save the day
still has Charlie and joey (the other henchman) around
since two brains is the hero...who is the villain? well that's where Miss Static comes in. zany TV hostess who kidnaps people to put in her show ill reveal more later since spoilers >:3c iykyk shhhhh no spoiling guys
other doodles in under cut

tell us about wordgirl bestie!
Will gladly use this as an opportunity to talk about a few headcanons that are canon in mine and @c0de-0f-the-clans reboot!
I'll stick with the characters we've done line ups for for now. Which would be: Becky/Wordgirl, Huggy, Tobey, Dr. Two-Brains, Chuck, The Butcher, Charlie, The Other Henchman, The Whammer, Invisi-Bill, Big Left Hand Guy, Ms. Question, and The Coach.
Becky/Wordgirl (or course we're starting with the girl herself):
Bi. She just is. I don't make the rules. Yes I do >:3
Non-binary but uses she/her pronouns. Comes from noticing in the show how casual she is with referring to herself as "mister". Even lampshaded in the Thanksgiving episode when she says "no more mister nice Becky! ... Or miss Becky. Either one :)".
She's got two birthdays, the day her parents adopted her and the approximate date she was actually born. Her birthday is always celebrated September 28th, but her actual birthday is closer to December 16th.
Part of the reason Becky sucks at art so much is because she sees way more colors than humans can perceive. A color combination that looks good to her just looks ugly or like the same shade of brown. Though even without the whole "painting with colors beyond human perception" thing she just generally sucks at art.
Becky is autistic and stims by pulling and messing with her hair. We also decided she has a bee necklace and she fidgets with it too.
Her full name is Rebecca but goes by Becky.
She's currently 4'5" and the shortest in her grade. When she's all grown up she's going to tower over her friends at around six feet (or more).
Bob/Captain Huggy Face:
Captain Huggy Face is not his real name (or title but I'll get to that in a later post). It's just the name Wordgirl came up with on the spot.
Just like Becky, Bob is only his nickname. Robert is his full name in the family.
Pan.
Non-binary as well. Just his vibes.
By Lexicon standards, he's considered colorblind. By Earth standards, he's not fhdh.
In his late 20's, but part of the reason is for a different post.
Chuck the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy
Trans man <3
Demi pan.
Chuck's full name is Charles Edward Guy.
Chuck is in his early 20's, a headcanon we pulled thanks to a flashback in the show where Tim and Sally are clearly around the same age they found and adopted Becky but Chuck is oh so small.
Dr. Two-Brains
He stands at 6'5" but slouches a lot and therefore looks more like 6'3".
Technically has three birthdays! One for Steven, one for Squeaky, and one for the day the two fused.
Pan. Can and will flirt with anyone and everything.
In his late 30's.
The Henchmen
The other henchman is Joey Meatball. We both had different ideas of what his name was and thought the combined name was funny.
The two are romantically involved <3
Charlie is 6'7", the other one is 5'2".
Both are in their 40's.
The Butcher
He's 6'9". Big man.
His full name is Jack Edison Shepherd Jr. He went by Butch for a while as a kid, and it kind of stuck.
Bi
The reason he struggles with words so much is because he has an expressive language disorder.
In his early 40's.
Tobey
While he was the tallest kid in 5th grade, he's only gonna be 5'4" all grown up, and it's going to make him so, so mad jhkdg.
We have also hit him with the autism beam.
He had braces at some point, as evidenced by a retainer that can be seen by his bed in most episodes. We have however, just given him braces in our reboot.
Tobey has anxious attachment style. Something I can literally talk about in paragraphs (and have. Twice.) and will probably share another day.
His birthday is reverse pi, 4/13.
The Whammer
The Whammer is half Greek, half Texan, and 100% professional wrestler. His father is a Greek immigrant who got into the professional wrestling career where he met The Whammer's mother, a professional wrestler from Texas.
His real name is Adam Minos.
Was supposed to follow in his parents' footprints and apprenticed under his dad. Unfortunately, his powers where deemed illegal for use in the ring.
In his early 20's.
He's 5'8".
Gay.
Invisi-Bill
He is romantically involved with Big Left Hand Guy. :]
In his early 30's.
He has ADHD.
Stands at about 5'11".
Gay.
Big Left Hand Guy
He is romantically involved with Invisi-Bill. :]
He's related to one of the reoccurring bank security guards.
Has anxiety.
In his late 30's.
He's 5'1".
Gay.
Ms. Question
Trans and non-binary. She's non-binary in the sense that she dodges any questions about her gender. No matter what, she will make you second guess yourself when you try to give her a label.
She's Afro-Latina.
Bicurious, because she's also dodge the question jdfkgh.
Her civilian name is Anne Neasia.
In her early 30's.
Very tall woman. Stands at 6'.
The Coach
The Coach has dwarfism. He stands at 4'8".
He's related to Timmy Tim-Bo. It's why he keeps him around.
In his late 40's.

A shocking discovery
Dr.Two-Brains couldn't help but stare intensely at the DNA results within his gloved hands. The mad scientist was trembling slightly. His face went pale. Honestly the man never expected this. He just wanted to attempt to find out Wordgirl's identity. Well. Dr.Two-Brains certainly got more than that. His former mentee. His now archenemy. Whom he battled countless times. She was his daughter. How could it be possible? He thought back to a woman. He could barely remember her. His past had always been somewhat fuzzy. Sometimes he could remember something crystal clear. Other times he couldn't recall at all. The woman in his fuzzy memory was faceless yet it made his heart flutter. A feeling the mad scientist hadn't felt in so long. Could this be the mother of Wordgirl? The mother of Becky Botsford. Dr.Two-Brains plan had worked yet backfired on him at the same time. Guilt was starting to eat at him. He was fighting his own child. The one he mentored. Making his guilt all the more soul crushing. “Boss, are you okay? You don't look very good.” Joey startled the villain out of his thoughts. “Yeah. I'm fine. Just….failed my plan. Never found out Wordgirl's identity.” Joey frowned at that. Charlie followed him, giving him a concerned look. “I'm okay. Let's just start all over. A new plan.” Joey didn't seem to buy it but for the mad scientist's sake, he held his tongue. “Okay, Doc. What's the new plan?” Dr.Two-Brains thought about it for a moment. “New ray gun. This one will change things up.” Differently than what the other villains would think. It would merely stun Wordgirl. The information he just learned made Dr.Two-Brains feel so sick if he actually allowed the mouse brain to get as vicious as he wanted. Squeaky wanted to deal with the girl to permanently get rid of her. Though he would never actually allow that to happen. Though he couldn't let her know that. Or anyone really. The mad scientist immediately began designing and making blueprints for the stun ray gun. Making sure that it wouldn't harm her but merely subdue her. Dr.Two-Brains worked endlessly, forgoing sleep. When Squeaky got angry at him for not acquiring the cheese he so craved, he would make it so painful for the mad scientist. It was difficult to fight against him. Yet he had slight free will. He just had to compromise. “Squeaky, I promise you'll get the cheese. We will have so much. So please allow me to finish this.” That seemed to appease the mouse as the white hot pain that was inflicted on Dr.Two-Brains immediately eased up. He sighed in relief. Returning to finishing up the near completed ray gun. Tinkering with it until he was satisfied with it. The next day the villain and his henchmen struck a grocery store that just got a shipment of various cheeses. Dr.Two-Brains had to get it all for himself. Though his stomach felt like it was tied in knots. Facing Wordgirl, but he had to go through with this. He needed that cheese so badly. When the villain entered the store, they rushed straight to the dairy section. The henchmen filled their bags with cheese. Dr.Two-Brains snatched a wheel of cheese from some poor civilian. “Thank you for holding onto this for me.” He grinned evilly at them. Though the smile was wiped off of his face as Wordgirl arrived. “Stop right there, Dr.Two-Brains! You aren't going to steal all this cheese.” The mad scientist faltered, facing her. He attempted to banter back like usual. “That's what you think Wordgirl!” The villain dropped the wheel of cheese and got the ray gun out. Pointing it at her. The hero didn't seem bothered, knowing it would backfire one way or another for him. Unfortunately when he used the stun ray gun on her, the young hero let out the most blood curdling shriek. Her face twisted in pain as she fell to the ground. Dr.Two-Brains stared for a moment before racing to her. Visibly panicking. “No, No! I didn't I didn't mean to.” The civilians gave him the most harsh looks. “Grab her. We'll take her back to the lair.” Charlie and Joey both nodded. They took her into the van quickly.

bad news on tv, black ink revives me
(robert aeor high au p2)
masterpost
hi and welcome to my mcyt high school au! if you haven't read part one, i highly suggest starting with that.
…Huh. That’s interesting. So there is a new student, and chances are, based on the chair seated ominously by his side, Scott has a class or two with him. He’s, annoyingly enough, slightly interested about this so-called “Timmy,” wonders what he looks like-
or Scott finds out there's a new kid at school, and can't stop thinking about who they might be.
TW: internalized homophobia, self hatred, anxiety, bullying
Robert Aeor High is an exceptional school, very upper-class, with most of the students living most of their lives in mansions, surrounded by everything they could ever need. Scott supposes he’s obliged to count himself in this number, though his friends, all mostly lower-class typical income people, say he’s nothing like them. But he has grown up in a mansion, and even his cold, sterile home is still a mansion.
Scott is by no means popular, in fact, quite the contrary. He tries as hard as he can to stay to the side of all the drama, to stay safe within his own little friend group, to stay hidden, to stay safe. Sometimes it’s hard to blend in, though, when someone’s singling you, specifically, out. Especially when that person is Xornoth.
Xornoth is that kid at school, the one everybody’s afraid of, the popular one, the one who has several henchmen that bend over to do zir bidding, the one who everyone seems to have a secret crush on. Ze’s a tiefling, like Owen, but where Owen is a prismatic tiefling, able to be born any color of the rainbow, from dusky blue to the pumpkin orange of Owen’s skin, Xornoth is a dark tiefling. Zir skin is a dark, almost glowing, purple, and zir massive, twisting goat horns at least three times bigger than the non threatening orange spikes that peek out from Owen’s hair.
Xornoth is one of the main reasons Scott’s begun to dread going to school almost as much as going home, especially now that their bullying’s extending to the level of legitimate harassment.
Xornoth seems to have a perverse obsession with touching Scott’s snakes.
A gorgon’s snakes are like an avian’s wings, or a tiefling’s horns, or a celestial’s tail: you simply don’t touch them. Xornoth’s way around this basic human decency, however, is that since Scott’s a hybrid, those rules just don’t apply to him. It’s never made much sense to Scott, as though he’s defective, he’s still a gorgon, still a person.
He has feelings, and that’s the one thing Xornoth seems to disregard the most.
“Scotty, come on, I just want to see how they feel,” ze purrs. Zir two henchmen, Joey and a boy who Scott only knows as “Sausage,” snicker under their breath, smirks ghosting across their faces.
“No, you can’t-” Scott begins, only to feel unwanted hands brushing roughly up against his snakes, the fingers calloused and groping. Scott shrinks away, disgusted. “What is wrong with you?! How would you like it if I touched your horns?”
“God, Major, what the hell? Why do they feel like ice?” Xornoth asks, completely disregarding Scott’s previous statement, reaching zir curious hand out towards his head again.
“One, my name is not Major. Two, you know why, you’ve known why since last year. Three, stop trying to touch my snakes. Now.” Scott’s slowly backing away, and he can feel himself beginning to shake. He hates unwanted touch, especially directed at his snakes, and he knows that if he doesn’t get away soon, he’ll have a full-on breakdown in the middle of the hallway. He’d never live it up then.
“Aww, he’s mad!” Xornoth snickers. “It’s just a question, Major. Be civil. Now, as much as I’d love to stay here and hang out with you all day-” Joey giggles under his breath, pushing his hand up to his mouth- “I’m afraid me and the boys have things to do. Arrivederci, Scotty Boy!” Xornoth waves cheekily, zir eyes cruel and calculating, knowing ze’s hit him in exactly the right spot.
Scott watches as ze sashays down the hall, one arm wrapped loosely around Joey’s shoulder as ze talks animatedly to Sausage, rude laughter cascading from the boy after Xornoth says something seemingly very funny, presumably about him.
He hates Xornoth almost as much as he hates himself. 
Walking into his homeroom, Scott immediately notices that there’s an extra desk in the back row, right next to where he sits, alone, the furthest away from everyone he can get. He’s always chosen to sit in the far back corner whenever he can, because the less attention Scott gets, from students and teachers, the better it is for him. So the fact that now, there seems to be someone who’s sitting next to him? It doesn’t bode well.
What if whoever’s desk this happens to be another Xornoth, bent on tormenting Scott and making his life hell?
But as the students trickle into homeroom, the extra desk isn’t claimed, and Scott lets out a mental sigh of relief. Maybe it’s just a mistake, just a simple misunderstanding. Maybe it’s for a new person in a different class, someone who doesn’t share Scott’s homeroom, but instead has this class for math or something. That sounds plausible, and if Scott’s honest with himself, he’s slightly disappointed. There’s always a possibility that any given new person will be attractive, and Scott is in dire need of a boyfriend.
The thought slips out before he can stop himself, and immediately, he starts to spiral.
No. No, no, no, nonononono- he’s not supposed to think that, that isn’t allowed- Scott’s disgusting for even letting that thought breach his mind, he’s not gay, he can’t be gay, but he knows he is and that’s the worst part- Scott can feel the breakdown from before pressing even harder in the back of his skull, because from his dream father, his real life father, Xornoth being absolutely horrendous, and now a reminder of one of the many ways he’s utterly repulsive inside and out, it’s just too much for him to take.
Scott needs to talk to Shelby, the main therapist of their group, because though she doesn’t know that he’s gay (disgusting) she knows about the other things, like his father and Xornoth. Scott’s not ready to tell anyone other than Owen that he’s gay (revolting) yet, if ever. He’ll try as hard as he can to beat it out.
He whips out his phone and pulls up the group chat, making sure to prop up his textbook to hide the fact that he’s texting, as Mr Jau is very particular about that kind of thing. It doesn’t seem like anyone’s on right now, however, which is…not optimal for Scott. 
And if he can’t talk to Shelby, he needs to find a distraction. But then he remembers he’ll see Shubble next period anyway, and even if he can’t find something else to focus on, he should be able to make it the ten minutes before homeroom’s over and the real school day begins.
He’s just scrolling through his notifs now, finding a few from his mutuals, rolling his eyes affectionately at the crazed reposts of fanart. Then he notices that in the absence of him and Owen while they were walking to school, Joel and Shelby (the bus riders of the group), have been talking about something. Scott knows it’s wrong to snoop, but like, they put whatever they were talking about on the group chat, so they must have meant him to see it, right?
And now that Scott knows there’s something to know, he absolutely has to do a bit of “detective work.”
He scrolls to his last sent message, a hasty gn love yall xx that he had typed out before his father had come into his room for his nightly inspection of Scott last night, and reads from there. Owen, Joel, and Shelby hadn’t stayed long after he’d gone, trickling away at about eleven, which leaves him with a slight pang of relief that he hasn’t missed anything. The conversation had resumed this morning, while he and Owen were walking to school. 
He really doesn’t have much to do, and he’s secretly very curious what they were talking about, so he begins to scroll through the texts.
thesmallbeans: hey shelby you there
shubbleshrubble: heyo joel :)
thesmallbeans: did you see, there’s a new kid?
shubbleshrubble: wdym, i dont go on your bus ofc not you idiot
thesmallbeans: shut up your short you cant talk but yeah, there’s like a new guy, hes got wings so i think hes an avian
thesmallbeans: he’s sitting a few seats in front of me he got on the stop after mine
shubbleshrubble: huh we havent had a new student in a while much less an avian arent they rare? I think grians the only avian at school right?
thesmallbeans: FOR GOODNESS SAKES shubble YES theyre rare do you pay NO attention during species studies?!?! 
shubbleshrubble: ummmmmm
shubbleshrubble: anywayyyy
thesmallbeans: also no hes not the only one you’ve forgotten about beks
shubbleshrubble: oh right beky but shes a year lower so why would i remember her
thesmallbeans: i remembered her and i have like the worst memory arent gnomes suppotsed to be all wise and remembering things?????
shubbleshrubble: shut up joel
shubbleshrubble: im super smart you dont know anything about me
shubbleshrubble: im a mystery ;)
thesmallbeans: uh huh. sure
shubbleshrubble: oh shush
shubbleshrubble: anyway what does this new kid look like??
thesmallbeans: hes blonde and his wings are like bright yellow, hes pretty tall for an avian, blue eyes and hes wearing the girls uniform
thesmallbeans: like the one with the skirt i mean
shubbleshrubble: huh 
shubbleshrubble: do you konw his name
thesmallbeans: i think its timmy or something like that
thesmallbeans: oop bus pulling up gtg cya @ school
…Huh. That’s interesting. So there is a new student, and chances are, based on the chair seated ominously by his side, Scott has a class or two with him. He’s, annoyingly enough, slightly interested about this so-called “Timmy,” wonders what he looks like-
STOP IT, SCOTT. STOP. It’s the second time this morning and two more times than he can handle. He tries to convince himself the reason he’s so intrigued by this turn of events is because the new kid is a rarer species, because he’s supposedly tall for an avian, because he seems like an interesting person, choosing to wear the skirt uniform and all that. There are times when Scott wishes that he could wear it himself, but of course, his father would never condone such an unmanly outfit.
He slides his phone back into his pocket, closing the textbook and pushing it back into his desk as someone walks into the room, and Scott cranes his head forwards, because is it him, is it the new boy?
Scott flumps back into his seat, realizing it’s only Joel. He suppresses a sigh; he should have known not to get his hopes up, but an avian? They’re the least-common sentient species, having been hunted to extinction for their wings by other species, most noticeably the seafolk. 
Their small stature and group nesting habits make them a predictable and easy to target people, and hundreds of avians are murdered each day, from the owls to the penguins to the canaries. It would be so interesting to meet a new avian, someone who seems to be neither an owl, like Beks, the one in the year below, or Grian, who’s a parrot.
Scott tries to convince himself this is the reason he’s interested.
But he realizes he’s been unfair, as Joel is never “only” Joel. He’s a celestial, and a sky celestial at that, so he’s almost inherently gorgeous, as well as extremely fucking tall. His light blue skin ripples with white cloud-like spots, his hair dark brown shot with a green streak that’s always reminded Scott of lighting, tied back into a short ponytail. A green laurel tattoo snakes down Joel’s right arm, his smooth, jewel-covered tail snaking along the floor behind him.
He stands at almost eleven feet, and he hasn’t stopped growing yet. Scott’s been friends with Joel for the longest time out of any of his closest companions, their friendship dating back to fourth grade, when Scott had nicked a few of Joel’s pencils during class. He’d thought he’d gotten off scot free (heh heh), but he’d been met at his locker by a glowering Joel, arms crossed and eyebrows raised.
Joel had been eight feet tall even then, and had picked up Scott by the scruff of his neck and put him on top of the lockers “to teach him a lesson,” in the celestial’s own words. But he had come back not five minutes later and brought Scott down, offering a profuse apology and saying he was working on “not being a menace.” They’ve been friends ever since.
Joel saunters across the room, taking his spot in the corner behind Scott, as he’s too tall for any desk this school has to offer. “Hey, Scott,” he grins in that cocky Joel way of his, “What’s up?”
“Eh, not much, you?” Scott asks, smiling back at him.
“Oh, you know, just…stuff.” He waves his hands vaguely, and Scott has to duck to avoid being backhanded by the unchecked limbs. “Hey, by the way, have you seen Lizzie today?” Joel’s eyes begin to go misty thinking about his not-so-secret crush. Scott’s pretty sure she’s completely oblivious of Joel’s affections, and he doesn’t know how that’s possible, but seafolk are notably fuzzy-minded when kept away from the ocean for an extended amount of time, so that probably explains why.
But Joel’s crush is still so glaringly obvious that even with how much Lizzie’s brain must be muffled, Scott can’t imagine how she hasn’t noticed so far.
“No, I haven’t, why?” Scott decides it’s best to humor Joel, to let him go on and on about Lizzie and how her hair cascades off her head and how pink it is and how much she looks like an axolotl with those frills that surround her neck and how her skin is so blue but not sky blue like Joel’s, blue like the ocean deep and dark, blue like the ocean Lizzie calls home. All Scott has to do is offer a few “mhm”s and nods, and Joel will be happy. Scott’s learned long ago that this is the best way to deal with Joel, because when he has something to talk about, ye gods, he will talk. 
“By the way, Joel,” Scott says, interrupting a detailed and decidedly very sappy description of how Lizzie’s eyes glitter in the sunlight, “Can you tell me more about that new kid who goes on your bus? I saw your texts.”
Joel looks slightly miffed that he’s been cut off, but diverts his attention to Scott nonetheless. That’s a first. “Uh, sure, what do you want to know?”
“For starters, you said he was an avian? What kind?” Scott leans forward, chin resting on his hands.
“Um, something with bright yellow wings? Like, almost solid yellow, no patterns.” Joel’s disinterested, staring off into the distance, almost certainly mooning over Lizzie, though silently this time (thank god).
“Joel,” Scott chastises admonishingly. “Now who doesn’t pay attention in species studies? The only avian types with solid yellow wings are canaries and some parrots- did the new kid have more upwards pointing or downwards pointing ear feathers?”
“Downwards pointing, I think,” Joel answers, “They were all fluffed out, though. His wing feathers too.”
“Okay, so he’s a canary,” Scott realizes, ripples running down his spine. “And the fluffed feathers means he was nervous. And understandably, starting a new school and all that? That’s a lot to take in at once. You said his name was Timmy?”
“Yeah, I think so,” Joel’s squinting, as if trying to find the answer off in the distance somewhere. “But I can’t be sure, he said his name kinda quietly when the bus driver asked what it was. Hey, why are you so interested in this new kid anyway?”
“Oh, no real reason,” Scott hastily reassures. “Avians are just so rare, though, and the canary bit is interesting too- they’re the least common avian type of all, and isn’t there a proverb about canaries being the harbingers of death?”
“Maybe,” Joel mutters, clearly not really engaging with the conversation. “I don’t really know- can I go back to talking about Lizzie now?”
Scott rolls his eyes and half-holds in an exasperated sigh. “Sure, Joel. Go straight ahead.” Scott’s still only half-listening, the rest of his mind wondering about the new kid; an avian, and a canary? That’s an interesting combination, Scott thinks, especially since, as he’s already stated, canaries in particular are one of the rarest avian types. 
The more he thinks about it, the more interested he is in this new student, and before he knows it, the bell has rung and he’s off to math. Waving goodbye to Joel, who stays in homeroom for his next class, Scott weaves his way through the hallways crowded to the brim with students of all species. Friends are snickering and chatting animatedly in little groups of three about the newest gossip or newest episode of their favorite series or loudly bragging about how gay they are.
Scott smirks dryly at that last one, his secret still held close to his chest. He’s so caught up in his own mind that he doesn’t notice where he’s going, and someone collides directly into his chest, causing him to stagger back a couple steps.
Now, Scott is by no means tall, landing squarely at around five and a half feet, but whoever’s collided with him is a significant bit shorter, by at least four inches, given the feel of it. This weirdly short person mutters a stammered apology, ducking behind Scott before he can get a good look at them, and by the time he’s craned his head back to try to catch a glimpse of his mysterious offender, they’re gone.
Scott doesn’t even notice the feather laying right at his feet as he rolls his eyes and enters his science class, the bright yellow plume flying up, up, up to the ceiling under the scuff of his feet, landing on the rafters far above the crowded mass below.

fuck. im officially doing a first round of editing for the long fic and i immediately have to shuffle some characters around, i have joey as like a henchmen rn but i think i wanna switch him to a good guy position that i didn't realize i needed, but that leaves a henchmen position open that technically chris is best to fill because i have sid as his apprentice and sid can just lowkey get promoted real quick from apprentice to main guy so chris can be henchmen, OR leave everything as it was and put alessandro in as new good guy. which i just thought of rn and i kinda like because alessando has a face for medieval fantasy and i was just thinking yesterday that it was too bad i didn't put him in
it started as a joke trying to put them all in and now its much less of a joke
frankly though, chris is problematic and i wanted to shuffle him around anyways because he really doesn't have a vibe for medieval fantasy. i might just get rid of him for now anyways and promte sid and just sorta hope a new slot opens up at some point

"perfect! Also have we met before?" Miss static asked the two henchmen. They shrugged given how they never met this woman before in their life. Miss static stared at them harder. "Funny because I'm getting a small sense that we have before. Eh who knows. Either way it's pleasant to meet you two." She shook both of their hands crossing her arms to do so.
"Well its nice to meet you too Miss Static." Joey spoke in an unsure tone. He glanced at his boss who gestured to them to distract the strange woman while he worked. He and Charlie silently nodded and went back to speaking with Miss Static. 'Good she's distracted. Now I can work on getting her back home to wherever she came from.' Professor Terror thought. A part of him also want to meet his counterpart and "talk" to him about what happened to his Becky. One step at a time though.

Fair City Vs The Facility RP
(here is my rp promise Melody 😈)
Dr. Two Brains blinked his bloodshot eyes as the alarm clock blared on his nightstand. It was another night of lack of sleep. Groaning, the mad scientist lazily reached his hand over and bonked the snooze button on the alarm. Two Brains slowly got up and out of bed. All the while clutching a pink unicorn plush toy tightly to his chest. He walked to his bathroom and rubbed his face with one glove, feeling the stubble and whiskers that had not been shaven as often as he did before. He placed the unicorn toy down in a safe spot before approaching the bathroom sink as he began to wash his face and brush his teeth. One of the small amount of hygiene practices he still has the energy and motivation to keep up with now a days. After cleaning his face and teeth, Dr. Two Brains just stared at the mirror for a bit, seeing a reflection that had seen brighter days. With a deep sigh, Dr. Two Brains left the bathroom and began to head out of his bedroom and into the living room of his evil lair. He paused mid step and stared back at the pink unicorn plush. With tender care, the villain picked up the toy and cradled it in his arms. He stared at the toy with affection, yet bitter pain in his red/pink eyes. Time seemed to stop for the mad scientist for an eternity, but only about 8 minutes had passed before the scientist placed the toy gently back on his bed. As he opened the door to his bedroom to leave, he turned back again to face the unicorn toy lying still on the bed, something he did many times before ever since that horrible moment in his life. "Don't worry Pawni." Dr. Two Brains spoke softly, again holding back sobs coming from his mouth, "I'll try to find her again today." He then closed the door behind him, leaving the toy and all the memories it held, in total darkness.
Joey and Charlie frowned with concern towards their boss as the mad scientist slowly ate his cheesy breakfast. The henchmen had to force their boss to not forgo his eating habits and to keep up his strength in spite of everything. They both sadly knew the source of their boss's new forlorn, depraved. and sorrowful state. It was about four months to this date that Becky and her pet monkey Bob had vanished from Fair City without a trace. At first, Dr. Two Brains didn't suspect anything was amiss when his daughter and her monkey had not come home one Friday evening for dinner. The mad scientist assumed that they were at a friend's house and he had forgotten or not heard Becky tell him of her plans which was typical for him especially since his brain had become scrambled due to his fusion with Squeaky. Even when The Butcher had successfully committed a crime the next day and Wordgirl nor Huggy had shown up to stop him was not too much cause for alarm. There were rare moments when Becky would be too busy in her civilian life to show up to a crime but she would always make it up later. What caused Dr. Two Brains to truly start to panic was later that same day when Chuck committed a crime but this time the new hero Kid Math showed up to stop him. When Chuck asked where Wordgirl and Captain Huggy Face were, to the villain's total surprise, Kid Math had no idea either. The boy said he tried visiting them at the spaceship hideout but they were not there. He was just about done searching the city for the duo when he saw Chuck committing a crime. Of course, distraught with the news Wordgirl and Huggy were missing, Chuck passed the news in the villain's chat room on his phone while in jail. The news soon reached Dr. Two Brains who was now becoming increasingly worried to his not knowing of his pinky's whereabout's, started calling the Ming's and the Heaslip's. He wanted to believe his earlier assumptions that his daughter was just being busy with her friends and taking a break from her hero duties. His heart only sank further and further when each parent proved him wrong. Dr. Two Brains then called Mrs. Botsford, one part for a last check to see if she was with the family and when again he was proven wrong, to asks the District Attorney's help to find his child and her monkey. Weeks passed, missing posters were put up, Becky and Bob's case ran on the news a few times. Violet and Scoops rounded up all the kids and teachers from Becky's school to help look. It was all for naught. When he was able to contact him, Two Brains and Kid Math worked out a facade to convince the citizens that Wordgirl and Huggy were just visiting Lexicon and Kid Math would take over until they came back. Only Scoops, Kid Math, Dr. Two Brains, and the rest of the EVA knew the truth from that lie. Dr. Two Brains began committing less and less crimes, his reputation as the #1 villain falling. But he didn't care. He would give anything to get his daughter back, anything to see her and Bob alive and well again. To the mad scientist's amazement in all this, Squeaky wasn't pushing Dr. Two Brains to steal cheese to satisfy their obsession. It seemed the mouse brain was also truly saddened by Becky's disappearance. It had been 4 months since Becky and Bob's disappearance, but Dr. Two Brains was not giving up until he found them. He just wanted his daughter back. The mad scientist finished his meal and slowly got up and headed towards the entrance of his lair. "I'm going to take the van and search again boys. Call me and let me know if you receive any phone calls concerning Becky and/or Bob." Dr. Two Brains commanded his men in a slightly emotionless voice. The henchmen just nodded solemnly. "You got it boss." Joey responded. "Take care out there." A small, grateful smile crept upon Two Brains' lips. He knew the henchmen were worried about Becky and Bob as well as his own health. Dr. Two Brains gave a slight nod and headed out the door to the van. He drove away into the city, continuing his search for his child and monkey. The only thing he left behind was his lab coat.

i finally got the whole blog set up and fancified to my liking :3
now that that’s out of the way, hi, i’m ale, and design is my passion. i drew all of our refs for Exploration, and now i’d like to divulge some details about why we designed characters the way we did!
i’ll be going in lineup order, so feel free to pull those bad boys up and follow along :]
Cpt. Huggyface
at Raven’s request, we have made him look more like a creature. we really wanted him to look like no Earthling monkey, so that it was less obvious compared to Bob, the other monkey in Fair City.
we’ve removed his shirt. Huggy can change color at will, and blue is his most iconic color, so we decided to just. make him blue. 
his lightning bolt insignia is also blue. this is because it isn’t actually an insignia, it’s a scar. it’s grown over with fur now, but the color changing is still a little off in that area.
we gave him an aviator's helmet because he is one. it was a lot more interesting than his original.
his antenna curves slightly because i thought it looked stupid sticking straight up.
another note on his antenna: it's not part of his helmet, it's his actual antenna.
WordGirl
we have her a ponytail for her ease of flying and fighting people. keeps it from getting in her face.
one little flyaway on her ponytail is star-shaped - because stars are WordGirl’s shape :]
we also gave her a star-shaped mask to make it easier for her to conceal her identity.
the neck of her cape is now a little turtleneck, it keeps her warm in those high altitudes.
her gloves and boots are based off how they look in the comics. also i like drawing defined shoes :]
WordGirl has blue eyeshines because she has a nictitating membrane, like a cat. also, her eyes are star-shaped because those are her shape.
her sclera are slightly yellowish, due to her powers. her eyes are also more of a dark red for the same reason.
you can't see them, but she has little fangs. adds to her alienness.
Becky
Becky has two upward flyaways on her head. this is because she has a bee motif (spelling bee), and those are the antenna
her headband has a small gold thing at the end, because it doubles as the headband for her helmet.
also has star-shaped eyes, but hers are slightly smaller, and less obviously noticeable.
has a bee necklace, because of her bee motif.
the pleated skirt was an accident i drew before looking at a reference. but i drew those pleats, so i had to keep them.
we gave her skirt pockets, because pockets are a nice thing for skirts to have!
we kinked her and Wordgirl's hair. she deserves curly hair with volume <3
Tobey
he has stupid hair. one of his cowlicks looked very awkward, so i decided to make it reminiscent of his robits antennae.
he has sectoral heterochromia - we agree that Tobey has heterochromia, but we agree slightly stronger that his eyes are blue.
his knees are a little scuffed up. i picture he's fallen off the robits a few times and scraped em.
his socks are lowered slightly. he's older now, so we thought his socks should be more reasonable.
Steven Boxleitner + Two-Brains + Squeaky
Steven's ref is chocked full of references to his fate as Two-Brains.
first is the tail-like flyaway on the back of his head. it's inspired by a comic character, and is meant to be reminiscent of a mouse tail.
the same goes for Two-Brains's two brain, it's shaped like a mouse to resemble Squeaky, and the flyaway of the hair tuft under it is meant to be her tail.
i noticed that Squeaky actually has a little bit of a snaggletooth, so i gave that, along with the normal mouse chompers, to Two-Brains.
his bowtie resembles mouse ears
on Steven, his lab coat sleeves are actually tucked into his long gloves. on Two-Brains, they are cut off.
Steven wears a button-up shirt tucked into his pants. Two-Brains wears a t-shirt.
Two-Brains belt is falling out, because Squeaky does not care for clothes and TB must put them on as fast as possible.
inspired by the same comic character as before, the tail of his labcoat is also meant to resemble the tail of a mouse.
Steven has dressy shoes, with spat-like coloring that matches with Becky's. Two-Brains has sneakers that are inspired by a lot of furry art i see where their toes are out - TB does not have his toes out, but the lines are meant to resemble paws.
Squeaky does not let TB tie his laces.
Squeaky herself resembles a dumbo rat, despite being a mouse. Her not looking like the ideal mouse is what lead to her being on sale.
Two-Brains has little chin whiskers, because mice have So Darn many. that's also what his little zigzag flyaway is meant to resemble.
Chuck
Chuck's lettuce is a bit more leafy and his eyes are dots to add to his innocent, cuteness factor.
Raven told me he has pickles, so i drew a little pickle on him.
Chuck has freckles that resemble the crumb of white bread. or he has a crumb that resembles freckles.
he has a turtleneck, we didn't think his ma would want him to go out without a sweater.
we couldn't figure out his shoes - so we decided to make them rainboots that look like green olives.
Butcher
we gave him blue eyes because it's good contrast.
i gave him a little face bandage because i thought it would be funny if he cut himself shaving.
i gave him a little chest hair. you can probably guess why :,]
gave him generic loafers based on a line where he mentioned his shoes not having laces.
Lil' Mittens
gave him mittens <3
he now has a little red collar with a bell, because i think once Butcher lost him once, he had to make sure he never lost him again. his collar is red because it's the meatiest color.
The Whammer
we once came across a furry wordgirl au, and started to think about what the other characters would be. obviously, we decided that Whammer was a bull. we decided to take that idea and run with it, and make him a cute little cowboy.
he has cow ears. Raven pitched the idea, and initially i put them on his helmet, and then where human ears would go. Raven eventually had to kick me and tell me to put them were cow ears would go. Raven was right.
i think cow eartags are really cute, so i had to give him one.
initially, i gave Whammer an anti-nursing tag on his nose. Raven thought it was too much and told me to make it a nose ring. you know, like a BULL.
i get nervous when a character design uses too many colors, and everyone agreed that Whammer's outfit was really ugly. so we decided to make it purple and orange, like his mask, to make those "his" colors.
Invisi-Bill
Invisi-Bill is a neat little creature, and ever since i started drawing him, i decided to give him elf ears for no real reason than to make him more creaturelike.
in A Questionable Pair, it's shown Invisi-Bill has his ears pierced. i look advantage of his long ears and gave him an earring with a chain.
he has I cufflinks because he's Invisi-Bill! yay!
he has a tooth gap because he is my favorite and i have a tooth gap :]
he has 2-tone wingtip shoes because he is my favorite i like 2-tone wingtip shoes :]
Big Left Hand Guy
blhg has slightly darker skin, because i think he's related to the stout, tan-skinned bank guard.
i gave him a cane based on a mention in the fanfic BLHG's Big Dilemma by DandyMaximilian. helps him not stand knocked over slightly.
he has one gay earring, based on the designs of rootbeertime. i just put it on the right ear. i think it's funny he would do that.
Ms Question
has yellow sclera, because that's the color her eyes were when she first got her powers.
i've seen at least two fanarts of her with question mark earrings, and i think it's really, really cute.
we thought that her little black wrist braces were silly. we decided to full-on give her black gloves.
Raven really loved the little gold trim of WordGirl's boots in the comics, and wanted to give this lady also with red boots the same touch.
The Coach
none of us really care for The Coach, so he is basically the same as canon. except for his cuffs!!! i had to fix his cuffs!! they were the wrong color!!!
Kid Math
when we decided to give Becky a bee motif, we also decided that Kid Math should also have a bug. we decided on making him a termite, because Hexagon is a math-based society, and architecture is pretty mathy.
we replaced his cape with wings. it adds to his alien nature. additionally, winged termites are young creatures who are sent out to scout for new territory. Kid Math is young, and it relates slightly to our arc for him.
he has hexagon-shaped eyes to contrast WordGirl's star-shaped ones. 
he has compound eyes like a fly, and orangey sclera, to add to his buginess and alienness.
he has little fangs.
Mr. Big
mostly the same as canon, but i upped his bunnyness and fancied his shoes.
his tie is now striped to resemble his mind control beams.
i thought the little kerchief in his pocket looked ugly, so i replaced it with a itty bitty squishy bunny.
he also has bunny cufflinks :]
The Squishy Bunnies, i guess
i just made them cute. i couldn't bring myself to draw their canon designs
Leslie
basically the same as canon, but bunnyed her up a little. we thought it would be funny if Mr. Big had no dress code, aside from "one bunny item", so we gave her a bunny hairclip and bunny earrings.
her choker is black now because we didn't think the purple really needed to be there
Granny May
made her hair more curly, because she is a black woman.
made her pearls slightly more yellow, because they're old.
her pearl necklace has a little diamond shape on it as a button to turn into her metal suit.
made the band on her dress green and a bow, because we thought it was cute and old ladyish :]
gave her a cane, because she's a little older than she used to be. also, it's a new weapon against WordGirl
Colonel Mustard
gave him some hair back. mostly because i thought his exposed cheek was ugly, and figured i'd give him the paws back while i was at it.
Victoria Best
we thought it would be fun if she wasn't really blonde.
i lowered her pigtails and made her ties bows, because she's a little older now, and the bows were cuter.
at the request of Robin, she now has freckles to resemble her brother.
we gave her slightly pinkish nudey eyeshadow, because we felt like she would be the type to wear it.
her eyes are inspired by ocular albinism, her eyes are blue, but in certain lights, become red, like when her eyes glow.
her skirt is pleats now, like Becky.
we gave her mary janes, because they're kinda like Becky's silly shoes, but Better.
Lady Redundant Woman
we made her slightly paler, to resemble a blank piece of printer paper.
made her eyes CMY, like a printer.
her downward-facing eyelashes are meant to resemble ink dripping from her eyes.
canonically she has lips, but none of us thought the pink suited her. so we gave her a cute black upper lip, like ink.
we pinked her suit slightly to moreso resemble the magenta of a printer.
i made her belt a floppy disk. i just thought it'd be funny.
we gave her boots a white trim, because Raven thought her boots were white.
Maria, Charlie, Meatball
basically unchanged from canon

Drive-Away Dolls.
D: Ethan Coen (2024).
Drive-Away Dolls is a queer road-trip comedy that uses a dildo as a McGuffin and directly references some of Sam Peckinpah’s and Quentin Tarantino’s most violent scenes and it’s a delight. Margaret Qualley (sporting a Texas drawl that’s distracting for a bout thirty seconds) is Jamie, a free-spirited lesbian who has just been kicked out by her cop girlfriend (Beanie Feldstein performing a charged-up movie-length slow burn) after one infidelity too many. When her best friend Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan doing yeoman straight-person duty) plans a weekend birding trip to Tallahassee. Jamie tags along and turns it into a tour of southern lesbian bars. She also convinces Marian to use what turns out to be the least competent drive-away service in history which gives them a car with an EXTREMELY illegal cargo that sets a couple of mob enforcers (Joey Slotnick and C.J. Wilson as a gonzo version of Tarantino mob henchmen). 
The film is more screwball farce than black comedy involving a congressman (Matt Damon), the 1960s groupie band The Plaster Casters and an irritable chihuaha. It has just a touch of drive-in disreputability and more than a little buddy-movie heart. Reccommended.

I am on absolute terror for our dear Interviewer, and while Koslowsky seems to be having a blast, I NEED him to get back to the group. These are vital and important and my life is naught but screaming until I know what is going on. BUT.
Whither my loves, Joey and Salvatore? Dare I hope for their return? I keep expecting them to pop up and fix everything and keep being disappointed. BRING ME MY KINGS AMONG HENCHMEN.
Joey and Salvatore? Haven't seen them in a while. I did get some of the coffee though. Wait, was that today? Or last week? Or last year?

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers
Reactions As I Read: ● that bird is a lot more than “twice” the size of a normal falcon ● wow, this art seems… very rushed
Tumblr media
● 👏👏
Synopsis: The Gotham University campus is terrorized by violent falcons. Batman and Robin watch a political rally held by G. Gordon Godfrey, who decries all superheroes. Godfrey insists that superheroes are holding humanity back, and they will witness the triumph of the common man once all superheroes have been eliminated. There is massive support growing for his movement. Robin makes an off-hand quip about wanting to retire, and Batman mentions that he does hope to retire someday. Robin is surprised and asks Batman how he can retire when he's dedicated his life to saving the world. Batman explains that he swore to fight crime and protect people from its ravages. He looks forward to the day he can hang up his cape. They spot one of the birds attacking a student, and Batman lassos the bird. It's revealed that someone broke into the Natural Science Building, and the falcons escaped. Batman rushes to investigate but tells Robin to stay behind with the wounded student. This angers Robin, but Batman insists that protecting the victims of crime is always more important than catching criminals.
It's revealed that the Penguin is behind this scheme. The Penguin has kidnapped a scientist named Doctor Baird, who is breeding experimental peregrines for a wealthy financier. The birds are extremely rare, and Penguin plans to hold them hostage with Baird for a large sum. Batman bursts in and attacks the thugs. The Penguin threatens to kill Baird with his umbrella sword unless Batman relents. Batman is forced to let the Penguin escape.
Batman does extensive research on falcons to figure out the Penguin's plan. Following a lead about falcon nesting habits, Batman discovers the Penguin's hideout. The Penguin and his men wait for Baird's Arab shiek financier to pay their ransom. Batman attacks what he thinks is the Penguin, but it is revealed to be a decoy, and Batman falls through a trap door. The Penguin has his falcons attack Batman. Baird begins to break out of his bonds using a table knife. Batman uses one of his gadgets to force the falcons to flee. Baird sneakily puts falcon bait in the back of Penguin's pants. Together, Batman and Baird get the birds to attack the Penguin instead. The Penguin's henchmen are easily dispatched. Batman throws a net over the falcons and captures the Penguin.
The next day, Bruce Wayne and Jason Todd watch the news in Wayne Manor. They are reporting on the Godfrey rally, and they mention that Batman and Robin were seen watching. Jason asks Bruce if Godfrey is right. Bruce says that Godfrey is right about one thing. He was surprised by Doctor Baird's resourcefulness and skill in dealing with adversity. Bruce says that the "triumph of the common man" is assured, whether or not there's a Batman to help him.
