just thinking about matt's description from the campaign wrap-up of what the nein returning the beacon was like for essek as being like, "you've killed someone. you think you've gotten away with and then some randos show up and they found a BOOT in your front yard and they're like, 'hey! look what we found!'"

khoa & tim fake uncle postfic

because i’m thinking about tim’s fake uncle again and because i’m also thinking about ghostbat: au (loosely inspired by this) set during tim’s early robin era where tim does a version of the Fake Uncle thing, which coincides with minhkhoa khan sneaking into town to spy on bruce.

the thing is, khoa has been off the grid for a while and just learned about jason--both that bruce got another kid, and that said kid had a fatal run-in with the joker. bruce had told khoa to stay out of gotham years ago, but khoa isn’t about to let that stop him once he catches up on the news and pieces together bruce’s grief spiral that only recent calmed down with the appearance of a new robin. a new robin who is, conveniently, posting a veiled job offer for an? uncle?? on the internet, and doing it entirely on his own.

so khoa fashions himself a fake struggling-but-not-too-struggling actor identity and lands himself the position of tim drake's uncle. it’s a perfect way to peek at bruce’s life while flying under the radar, because this tim kid is very eager to keep his fake uncle as separate from bruce as possible. khoa expects to be in and out of this job in a month, maybe two, as soon as he’s sure bruce is stable and not going to crumble because bruce cares so much and khoa knows it’ll be his undoing one day and—anyway. it’s a temporary gig. the kid’ll have to come up with a cover story when khoa inevitably disappears, but that’s not khoa’s problem. and tim probably shouldn’t be making up fake relatives anyway, so khoa will be teaching him a valuable lesson. (the lesson: always make sure you have collateral on someone before trusting them. you’re welcome for the parenting help, bruce!)

except. it’s not so easy to leave.

after just two weeks khoa starts realizing that:

tim is bonkers

like, off the wall bonkers

and brilliant

bad combo, khoa knows from experience

tim desperately cares about bruce and dick and alfred

but does not see himself as part of the family (hence the fake uncle thing)

khoa also realizes that tim keeps secretly patching himself up at home (because he’s downplaying any injuries after patrols) and eventually khoa is like. “okay. i don’t care what happened*, but you do have to stitch that up properly. my fake self can’t be in trouble for child endangerment.” and he patches up a surprised and wary tim. this becomes a routine.

*(khoa knows what happened, he was stalking batman on patrol that night. like most nights.)

ANYWAY. basically what i’m saying is: identity shenanigans where bruce’s ex is lurking around gotham pretending to be tim’s uncle and tim doesn’t know about the ex thing and bruce doesn’t know about the uncle being fake thing and everyone is keeping secrets from each other. and khoa goes from “this is a convenient way to spy on bruce” to “if anything happens to this unhinged baby robin i will kill everyone in this room and then myself” and ends up co-parenting tim without bruce realizing.

also in between having concerning realizations about tim’s self-preservation skills and spying on bruce, khoa finds time to have fun with it. like imagine a parent-teacher conference at tim’s school. the school calls bruce to schedule because his contact info is still on file from when tim was staying with him. but obviously khoa catches wind of this and decides to also turn up, in full uncle disguise, and spends the whole time fucking with bruce and having a blast.

like bruce was kind of checked out last year when the conferences happened and now he’s starting to claw out of his grief enough to be present and engaged. especially now that tim is staying with his “uncle” bruce is like wait. wait. and is trying to make more of an effort, so he shows up to the conference. and then at the conference khoa is just lounging in his chair like, “tim fell asleep in class? good for him, i’ve been telling him to get more sleep” and bruce is trying to be Even Better Dad to compensate while his eye is just constantly twitching.

[parent-teacher conference shenanigans with contributions from @cairoscene, @90kon, & @mammutblog:]

teacher: i won't sugar coat it, tim is very nearly failing literature

khoa: ah. a ridiculous subject anyway.

teacher: i notice tim is very... isolated. he doesn't seem to engage much with his peers, even when they try to initiate conversations with him

khoa: well children are idiots, i don't blame him

teacher: tim got in a fight—

khoa: did he win?

khoa: oh tim’s getting an A in science? we should celebrate. i’ll take him to get ice cream for dinner. we usually do that anyway but this time he can have extra sprinkles

bruce: that’s not— [deep breath] in my experience tim has trouble remembering to eat a balanced diet when left to his own devices, which is important to his growth at this age.

khoa: yeah of course. that’s why sometimes we get frozen yogurt instead

bruce: tim is lactose intolerant

khoa: [pulls out a packet of lactaid] i know

anyway!! after a bunch of shenanigans and awkward actually-taking-care-of-tim moments, something big happens where bruce and tim are in deep trouble and khoa breaks cover to burst in and rescue both batman & robin and all secrets come out. tim is shocked that he didn’t figure out who khoa was (in tim’s defense, he’s had a Lot going on) and bruce is soooo mad he didn’t see through the disguise, but also bruce is. grateful. that khoa has been there for tim, especially when khoa finally gets to do a full “get your head out of your ass” rant about the various ways tim has been pretending to be way more okay than he is.

khoa: if you’re going to CARE about people so much the least you can do is! pay attention to them!! this kid is your problem, act like it!

bruce: sounds like he might be Our problem now

khoa: only because i don’t trust you to get the job done 😤

(ALSO because khoa is literally there to lurk and observe he notices the league slipping into gotham and they end up rescuing a resurrected jason early.)

anyway i just think the concept of khoa being tim’s deus ex machina adult is so fun. like tim is on some international mission with young justice and it seems like all hope is lost and then freaking ghost-maker swans in and takes out all the enemies and gives tim a whole rant about How Is Bruce Letting You Run Around Like This, Does He Know What You’re Getting Up To In Your Spare Time, Where Even Is He. the vibe is ghost-maker dropping a (carefully patched up) robin on wayne manor doorstep with a sticky note on tim’s forehead reading TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOUR THINGS.

(bonus au of this au from aubrey where bruce DOES see through khoa’s disguise:

Tim: Bruce, this is my uncle--

Bruce: ANTON?!

Khoa: 😘

Tim: oh my god DID YOU FUCK MY FAKE UNCLE, BRUCE?)

also please look at this khoa and tim art again for the vibes

Hal and Barry have such great besties dynamics in this comic (and basically everywhere else)

have a very adorable comfy camping Barry everyone.

My hc on this is that the earth GLs and the flashfam are like two families that are family friends with each other. All these GL-flash pairs have great character dynamics I love every one of them sm asdjhlsfkhajskfhasdsss

next time maybe I can make an edit of faster friends to show some kyle wally dynamics

Bart doesn't seem to have his own lantern yet but maybe he's just the family's baby

yet again thinking abt that entry in amity's diary that said "i called my teacher mom again"

and how that's not too unusual for little kids to do, but for a teenager to do that *multiple times* generally means there's something deeper going on there

and we learned that yeah, amity's definitely got plenty of mom-related issues

now what i'm really curious about is the exact reason

was it the more bittersweet reason that amity was so starving for parental affection that her brain immediately latched on to the teacher as a parental figure the minute they gave her positive attention/praise?

or was it the even sadder possibility, where the teacher was *scolding* her, and she automatically called them "mom" as a fear response?

Thanks to @quinnsteria we have some Dino Squad concepts! And the character notes are gold (transcriptions below)

Max/T-Rex: good instincts, charm, class president, BMOC; risk-taker, hot-dogger, jock, easy smile and laid-back demeanor, serous de facto leader. Tom Cruise's "Maverick”, big ego, feels like he's leading the Marx Brothers onto the beaches of Normandy. He was winning in life and lost this so he's now a bit bitter

Fiona/Spinosaurus: Billy Murray + "Old" Rosie O'Donnell, speed freak. easy going, fast driving, tomboy-athlete, quick wit, need for speed. When not burning rubber she's “kicking it” with the guys.

Caruso/Stegosaurus: wants to be cool at any price, changes personality at will, bit funny, bit like Scooby, empty headed ego. Thinks he's better than others, ultimate wannabe, incredibly vain and self-centered, attention span of a gnat. Every new passion is his ticket to mega-stardom. A teen version of Ben Stiller's Zoolander, "I'm too sexy for my shirt”.

Buzz/Pteranodon: false hero, scared, bitchy funny, bit like Shaggy, tough-talking loudmouth, all show no guts. Wants to be a tough hero, but afraid of own shadow. The bigger they are, the harder they fear! Joe Pesci as the Cowardly Lion, turned Cowardly Dino.

Rodger/Styracosaurus: Chris Rock + MacGiver, under appreciated, gets no respect, makes cool multi-tools... “and it also makes great cappuccino!” Why? Because it can! wise-cracking, limitless technical skills, drives others crazy with an endless practical jokes.

#ngl the phrase ‘he feels like he’s leading the Marx Brothers onto the Beaches of Normandy’ #is gonna be living in my head rent free for a while #max actually has something in the notes here… too bad it didn’t really shine through in the show #Fiona is sonic the hedgehog I think lol #also buzz is shaggy confirmed #and I love that he’s described as ‘bitchy funny’ #although I feel like his cowardice didn’t really come through. I don’t remember him being especially cowardly 🤔 #on the other hand Caruso being Scooby meets Zoolander is both correct and hysterical #and Rodger… #the juxtaposition of ‘endless technical skills’ and ‘gets no respect’ is sending me #that is a perfect description and I love him for it #dinosquad #dino squad #rolf maxwell #fiona flagstaff #erwin caruso #neil buzzmati #rodger blair #dinosquad official art #which is a tag I never thought I’d get to use lol #concept art #art #character notes #quinnsteria #dino mod

Hello! Is there any chance you could do Nahanananggal? One of my favorite designs in the series :3

Day 18 - Manananggal (Request)

Race: Femme

Alignment: Neutral-Chaos

April 15th, 2024

Admittedly, I had no idea what I was getting into with this design. Having never played V, the game in which she first appears, I wasn't expecting to find much from a demon this late in the series, yet the Filipino influence in V gave birth to a strange, freaky, and frankly sick looking demon.

A witch from the Philippines, Manananggal is a strange, almost vampire adjacent bit of mythology typically used as a boogeyman of sorts. The strange folklore surrounding this being goes that it's a witch who takes the form of a beautiful young woman at day, yet shifts into a hideous form at night, typically infiltrating homes and villages to feed when the sun goes down on clueless families. Her name means remover, and that is exactly what she does, as the witch will typically target families expecting a baby and, when the sun goes down, will suck the blood of the fetus with a long proboscis, typically killing it.

My personal theory about this is that Manananggal may be a sort of explanation for stillbirths, as the idea of killing a baby while still in the womb coincides heavily with a stillbirth, as well as an early pregnancy, as some myths say that the witch may deliver the fetus far earlier than expected as well.

Typically in Filipino folklore, when it turns to night, the Manananggal will separate its torso from its chest, sprout wings, and the way to kill one is also connected to this hideous transformation.

At the left-behind torso of the witch, in order to kill a Manananggal, one must spread cloves of garlic or salt all over it. When the witch is to return when the sun rises, this will apparently remove the spell, causing the monster to burn alive in the sunlight, and be unable to rejoin with its body.

In terms of design, Manananggal is very faithful, appearing with a separated body from her torso in the sheen of a beautiful woman. The batlike wings and proboscis-esque tongue are very common in depictions of this monster, and overall, she has a very unique yet faithful design. Unfortunately, I cannot give a gameplay overview on account of not having played V yet, but this demon is shockingly well designed, and connected to a very underrepresented bit of mythology in the SMT series. 10/10 for me.

Now, I have to wonder, would a Manananggal find a lucrative business in abortion?

SLAY.

I'VE NEVER SEEN LEGO MONKIE KID, WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

GAY MONKEY'S FIGHT EVIL /J

NO BUT ACTUALLY, IT'S BASED OFF THE CHINESE NOVEL JOURNEY TO THE WEST! THE MAIN CHARACTER, MK, HAPPENS UPON REDSON AND HIS MOM TRYING TO FREE THE DEMON BULL KING GUY (Redson's dad, actually) AND IN THE PROCESS, MK ENDS UP WITH MONKEY KING'S STAFF AND BECOMES HIS SUCCESSOR-

IT'S A VERY COOL SHOW AND THE FANDOM'S CHILL FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN!

[the offcolor AU is a personality change! Inverting everyone's personalities & color pallets, MK (usually loud and excitable) is quiet and overall a downer, Mei (usually rambunctious and quite proud of her heritage) is disciplined and actively doesn't like her heritage seeing it as something that lost her her childhood, Redson (usually very pissy and arrogant) is timid and more mellow, etc etc!]
