[your-pal-nebula]

I always see people talking about how nice it is to have IRL alterhuman friends, and yeah, I agree, but can we talk about how sick it is to have alterhuman FAMILY MEMBERS

#it's my stepmom btw #she's an elfkin #she actually identified as an elf for quite a while before realizing otherkinity was like. a thing #i was explaining alterhumanity to her when she was like “oh yeah I'm an elf” #being fully genuine #im making yall so jealous I know #alterhuman #alterhumanity #therian #therianthropy #otherkin #otherkinity

omg sparrow fur just got confirmed to become the second leader of skyclan

Ok, that's good. I'll have to think of how to go foward from here.

If Sparrow Heart had died before taking leadership, I was going to write that as her being INFURIATED by it. Remembered forever as Skystar's stooge, his general, his loyal servant, but never having power of her own. And, generations later, she'd grab for it in any way possible.

With her being Sparrowstar, I'm going to keep her ambition and desire for power, but she had a chance to enact her vision in life. She was the first cat to inherit 9 lives, even, with how BB!Skystar is the first leader to die. She continued his "legacy," not out of any actual love or respect to him, but because it's HER TURN.

All these years of groveling, of having to bend and bargain around the desire of stronger cats, now it's HERS. She is the one who bargains, who makes others grovel. No one will make her scared and powerless ever again.

It's going to continue the ferocious rivalry between SkyClan and ThunderClan, especially as Owlstar takes power. Sparrowstar is definitely gone by the time of the River Kingdom's succession crisis, though, she's too battle hungry to rule for so long.

Or maybe Sparrowstar will end up inventing some kitty war crimes and become one of the first Dark Forest cases. After all, it's very in-character of BB!Skystar to not officialize an heir, and force Sparrow Heart to have to carve a path through his bio-kits for the power she is owed...

(Mumbling to self: and then that makes a pretty interesting claim for SkyClan during the River Kingdom succession crisis... "we need no claim to your throne to take it from you")

We'll see!

#better bones au #BB!DOTC #BB!Sparrowstar #Your honor. Women. #Still really fond of the 'arent you tired of being nice. Dont you just want to go apeshit' characterization #In any case I promise to treat her right I love violent women <3 #Her mom bumble is so conflicted OH my god #Juicy juicy juicy setup #Brother vs Sister as their exhausted mother who has had so much loss watches on helplessly #All of her friends are gone #She's just got her Emotional Support Grand High Priestess of a Slain God #Obsessed with this whole little overhauled family actually #Dyspraxic translator mother. Tragic angel guardian. Blood God Enthusiast who is actually a chill stepmom #And their children. Become-What-You-Hate and her brother Autistic Owl Man. They are powerful dictators.

Personally I find it really funny that based on what the twins said in the Book 2 finale re: having to tell their mom about what happened to Unalaq, it's literally canon that Unalaq's wife a) exists, b) is alive, and c) is just chilling in the Northern Water Tribe

She took one look at all the spirit fuckery her husband was getting up to and went "Well that's none of my business" and honestly I respect that

#oh and when I say spirit fuckery I mean it in both the literal and metaphorical sense. blame kat's latest raava and vaatu fic #yeah I'm just gonna start posting random LoK opinions on here now. this blog's been dead long enough #not really an incorrect quotes girly anymore sorry #not even a girl anymore. but you know #most of my red lotus and oc posting will remain on my personal blog though bc no one wants to see that #anyway. yes. Unalaq's wife. when I say the avatar franchise has a mom problem this is exactly what I mean #80% of characters don't have a mom. the moms that are alive either have little to no screen time or mentions #or they're basically Schroedinger's mom in the sense that they exist but not really #the exceptions being like. pema and suyin. and maybe senna though she also has very little screentime #my point is. the twins are younger than korra. I know avatarverse has a precedent for putting kids on the throne. looking at you zuko #but really we should have gotten unalaq's wife as chief of the nwt #introduced her in book 3 during the lead up to p'li's prison break #but that's just my objectively correct opinion #northern water tribe chief raspberry when #(according to avatar wiki her name is malina so I've been calling her raspberry in my head ever since I found out #malina means raspberry in russian that's why. probably in a bunch of other slavic languages too idk I'm not an expert #and she shares a name with katara and sokka's weird white stepmom from the comics which no sane person considers canon. so that's fun) #the legend of korra #unalaq

The Real™ way Selina Kyle joined the batfamily was like this:

Batman and Robin were chasing after Catwoman in the dead of night after she stole jewels. They are all leaping across rooftops until Catwoman hesitates at a jump. It is rather large, larger than the rest and it would cause a lot of damage if she missed, but if she tried, she might be able to calculate this right as to not get injured. But before she can do that, two figures come up behind her.

Batman: Give up, Catwoman, you're a coward.

Robin, devilish smirk: Some might even say you're... A pussy

Batman, turning around, not even facing Selina anymore: *gasp* Robin! Where did you learn that from! If you say that again, you'll be grounded- no it isn't funny, as your father, I will not tolerate that language, you are a child!

And during all this, Selina is just watching while internally like 'this dude needs some help raising his kid, like he is a mess' and then in true cat fashion, she just domesticates herself into Wayne Manor

#bruce is sitting at the breakfast table and selina comes waltzing in and bruce is at first internally like 'oh no how did she discover my #secret identity' and he starts panicking until Selina just like walks over to him and kisses his cheek and sits next to him while holding #his hand and he doesnt know what is happening so he doesnt say anything and robin comes in and says nothing about it #and Selina just lowkey starts seducing him while also acting like they have been married for 40 years and just sorta moves herself in #without saying anything and like Bruce is confused but lowkey starts falling for Selina and likes it all so he isnt gonna bring it up #plus since she moved in she hasnt committed any crimes so if anyone tries to bring up that he is sleeping with and unofficially dating a #villain he is just like 'i am doing this for the good of the community' #bruce wayne #batman and catwoman #batman and robin #batman catwoman #batman #catwoman #bruce and selina #bruce x selina #selina kyle #stepmom selina #dad bruce wayne #brucelina

I want to play pool again! I want to go to the pool hall like I used to with my dad … I remember when I was little, when my dad used to do competitions, I’d sit and watch him play with a Shirley Temple kicking my legs on a barstool. All of those memories are foggy now, but I miss it. Dim lights and the cues clicking and cigarette smoke…

#Now that I think about it #I probably wasn’t supposed to be there at that age… Oh well #cynthia original #The only time I get to play billiards is on rare occasions #Like when my family goes on a trip and stays in a rental house #they always have a pool table #and before my dad and my stepmom divorced we would always go out to bars on the boat and the entire family would play

[truckstoptigers]

i remember what you did andrew.

Another day another incident of parent being snarky as a joke for no reason I Don’t know why I bother

#my stepmom can be mean in specific ways for no reason #like it’s not like I’d call her Mean but there’s also no reason to be a dick like that #I offered my dad a substitution for making those like instant pancakes #and said smthn along the lines of ‘yeah cuz when I made them the Other way they came out kinda gross’ #and she was laughing and just ‘oh well no offense but anything you make is kinda gross’ #and I was like ?????? ‘okay fine then I’ll never make you anything again’ #she responded being like ‘oh well those things you made the other day—‘ #and I just said ‘that sucks I guess I’m not making you any again’ #(she then said ‘well it’s not rocket science to make them’ whilst still laughing) #I made one (1) thing that didn’t go immediately right . once #bc I couldn’t get the chocolate to melt properly #and she had my Whole Family (they came over for some reason) laughing at me for it #my aunt tried being consoling but sigh #can’t wait to move out truly emphatically #gotbeck #beck’s ranting again

Sharing this from a family text chain, because my uncle is one of those with unlimited crazy currency, and I want someone else to venture a guess what the fuck this means-

#this uncle had held a grudge against my brother for eight years for moving his pants once #we learned this recently #because this uncle is 87 years old and mostly blind and had bad falls and lives in a 3 story house by himself #and my brother offered to go clean out his house #and my aunt knew this and still waited until #until my brother had taken the train to where they lived to say oh Dan doesn’t want you touching his stuff because of the time #the time you moved his jeans #and my brother was tf- when was this? #and my aunt said when you first moved to Portland #and my brother was like when I moved to Portland in 2015?!! #and my aunt said well he couldn’t find them then #i think my stepmom did the right thing sharing a picture of their dog next #although when i added something i used ALL the emojis #family is weird #happy new year

what if the riddler was a female character? do you think fem riddler would be interesting?

This is EXACTLY the kind of question that Batman: The Drowned should have answered for me, but unfortunately fem!Bruce was too busy stabbing fem!Aquaman to death with her own trident and getting Gotham wiped off the face of the planet in reprisal. Like yes, #girlpower, but I would have really just preferred several group shot panels of Batman's entire genderbent rogues gallery.

But assuming this ask is more inquiring as to what would have happened if Riddler was created as a female character... interesting question!

Riddler only had three appearances before being adapted and arguably codified as an "A-list" villain in the 1966 television series, Detective Comics #140, #142, and Batman #171 (the last of which came out in 1965, and served as the basis for the show's pilot). I think it's likely that a female Riddler would still have been picked up for the show, since Catwoman had only had four appearances in the 1950's and still managed! Given how many female villains the show invented for itself (not to mention its compulsion to have a prominent woman hostage or henchgirl or both in every single episode), I think it was pretty desperate to get some attractive actresses on screen for the audience to look at.

Personally I think Riddler being a woman would at the very least have improved the movie (which is the only Batman '66 media I've seen all of), since it would have split the United Underworld 50/50 down the gender line. I'm guessing a female Riddler would have crushed on Batman as much as every other woman who existed in his presence on this show, though possibly on the grounds of seeing him as her intellectual equal? I feel like she still would have been stuck in the pre-00's Poison Ivy territory of obsessive unrequited attraction.

She definitely would have been a part of the Gotham City Sirens... like, actually a part of the GCS, not just a side character there to get put thrown around for the laughs because of Paul Dini enjoys writing Riddler and got removed from Detective Comics.

And I hate to say it, but unfortunately she probably would have permanently reformed after Dini's run (assuming he still would have made her a private detective). Ivy's gotten a handful of good villainy moments since the New 52 reboot, but at this point she's really only an anti-villain at best. Also unfortunate, but I don't think a female Riddler would have ever gotten to wear a suit, and also in the 90's she would have 100% been put in a question mark boob window version of Sue Storm's 90's costume:

#earth 11 #kathy kane #is my best attempt at tagging earth 11 bruce. like all of her names are just the names of other female batman characters #riddler #edward nygma #just realized i didn't really say whether i would find her interesting or not #i think she would be really fun up until the early 2000's #at which point she would reform and just become one of the 50 million detective side characters in batman comics #which is also what i think is what would happen to the existing male riddler if for some reason dc let him reform permanently #however at least a female riddler would still get to show up whenever the gotham city sirens hung out #wait oh my god. do you think she would have a thing with catwoman? #and then it would be harlivy and riddlecat.... #that's kind of cute actually. i kind of want to live in that timeline #although on the other hand. no way would we have ever gotten zero year or twojar #which would be rough for me because i love those stories #hmm. who would have replaced riddler in those #lmao my first thought was cluemaster but. probably not #actually HORRIFYING thought. would female riddler and cluemaster have dated.... #riddler being stephanie brown's stepmom would be hilarious but every other aspect of that concept. just gag me #OH also i think that basically nothing about the plot of batman forever would have changed at all #but riddler would no longer be the villain of batman 2022 #okay i officially can no longer remember if i was making a point #hopefully something in this stream of consciousness answers your question #the REAL question is whether or not dc would allow a female riddler to be annoying and to that my answer is: i sure hope so #being extremely annoying is intrinsic to the character and it would be assassination to exclude that #of course getting beaten black and blue by batman FOR being annoying is also intrinsic to the character #so. maybe for optics reasons they would avoid that
