#this man and a child does stuff for me

[puppetmaster13u]

Thinkin' of WOF Au for DC, but like, it's a Gothamite and Fawcett thing. (And Amity Park if crossover)

Like those are the most magical areas in the world, even if Gotham is cursed as fuck. An unspoken secret of sorts that while they present themselves as human to outsiders, they are all Very Much Not.

Which means hilariously in the league, when everyone expects Batman to be suspicious and short with the new guy- even made bets on it- they are then shooketh when both visibly relax and start talking. And half the shared complaints don't make sense!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now Gotham technically has no Queen, nor does Fawcett, but Batman and Captain Marvel are the closest things. Not in the traditional sense of back when they were in separate tribes (& maybe from a different dimension but shh that was millennia ago) but in the sense of, they're the ones patrolling and protecting the cities along with calling the shots in disasters.

Which does sort of change the dynamic they both have in their city. If one of them calls to arms, the city would follow them. They could declare war, and their cities (begrudgingly in Gotham's underbelly's case of strongest is in charge) would follow. And while Billy is oblivious, both Marvel-the-not-hivemind and Batman are. They know they have to be very careful.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure we all want Nightwing Bruce but no. Bruce, like both his mother and father and father's father and so on before him, is actually an Icewing. The Waynes however, have a case of melanism running in their bloodline. Thomas Wayne? Only his quills and part of his back were darker, but Bruce? Practically pitch black scales that shadow his eyes.

Now Alfred on the other hand, is a Nightwing. No special powers there, though you would hear many a child protest with how he seems to know everything.

Commissioner Gordon is a Mudwing, big stocky and very tired, which translates to his human disguise as a large trenchcoat. He finds this very amusing. Barbara similarly, is half Mudwing. Her mother was a Hivewing, making her a hybrid between both. Which does ironically mean that Batgirl does in fact have insectoid wings. Though that does ponder the question on if they'd all go by their original vigilante names.

Dick is a Silkwing. Wingless as he watches his parents fall and unable to do anything despite this place supposedly being safe for beings like them. He grows into his own, and his wings, when they come in, are dark Gotham colors through and through, with the deep blue of the sky he's come to crave.

Jason is a hybrid between a Mudwing and a Skywing. He's also an animus- not that he knew that. He doesn't find out until he's dying, telling himself to not die, to get back to Gotham, to his dad, his family- And then he wakes up in his Coffin, alive.

Now Cass, raised to be the perfect killer, is also a hybrid, just one between a Nightwing and a Rainwing, egg set out under the moon. Which succeeds, partially. She can't straight up read minds, but combined with her talent in reading body language on both human and inhuman bodies, it's a near thing.

Tim is a Seawing, borderline abandoned by his parents who seek treasures and more wealth as he's trapped back in a city where the water is dark and poisoned. But he's Gothamite, through and through, and he adapts. Scales darker than the original blues he was born with, and glow shifting to that sickly white of the Gotham's Bats.

Now Steph, is a full-blooded Rainwing, and can in fact change her scales, but can mostly be found in purples and golds. Though for a short time she was in another set of colors, thought dead before she slithered out of the shadows older and wiser than before.

Damian is his father's son, but he's also an Al-Ghul. The not-quite dragonet is half Icewing, and half Sandwing. And struggled to adjust at first, to a place so different from his first home where the only other dragons were blood related. But like any Wayne before him, he adjusts, and he adapts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Billy wasn't a Beetlewing originally, and perhaps he would have hesitated if he'd known it would change him, would change his body and the last thing he had of his parents. But his friends, his Team and new family help. And he can pass as a Silkwing like their sort-of foster mother. All six of them can do so now, even if the others look more like hybrids themselves thanks to not being the Champion. They might not be, but they're his family. And that's enough.

No. #Billy & Co ends up similar to Barbara & Steph lol #They're not adopted but here have rooms & credit card & a college fund & anything else u or ur foster parents might need #y'know i bet martian manhunter would get along with most dragon people over the 'so how do human again' #also just in case someone wants to #dcxdp #dpxdc #also had a random idea that this could be a fun white-collar crossover

Father!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

#caluuart #genshin impact #genshin #art #arlecchino #god she's just so. cool. pretty. ethereal. badass. #also I LOVE HER STORY QUEST SO MUCH!! I think it's definitely one of the best story quests in the game tbh. #wait uh arlecchino story quest spoilers below: #for one; the quest really gives even more depth to arlecchino's character. like yeah the whole thing is well. messed up. #it's an orphanage that raises orphans to be child soldiers after all. But it's also like. It's more.... humane? nicer? for the fatui anyway #which does bring me to the next thing. you know how arlecchino's like “if you're gonna leave the HotH you need to fight for it with ur life #I genuinely think that she's gonna just. straight up kill them. although it's not unlikely at all it turns out that (most of the time?) she #-just gives them a one trip to memory loss and set them free. which i do know it's kinda like death in genshin's lore but still. #I just find that pretty interesting. #also the cutscene where clervie says goodbye n stuff. It makes me cry EVERY TIME. ARGHHHH TRAGIC CHILDHOOD DOOMED YURI MY BELOVED :((( #clervie makes me so sad man. the fact that she just. accepts death. she really just let peruere kill her huh. crucabena when I fucking get #the hopelessness getting to her at that point. all attempts of freedom failed until that day..... GOD. and clervie finally getting closure- #-in the story quest as a spirit... I just..... man......... #on a lighter note :) #I got obsessed with a bloodborne OST LMAO. the uhh the lugwig boss theme. esp the sec phase one. it's SO GOOD. I first heard abt it in a- #-vid analyzing the ost musically. At the time i was like. woah. cool. what a cool sounding track. fast foward to like. a day before 4.6 #I'm watching a genshin theory video and I heard the music in the bg. I recognized it but I couldn't remember where I heard it from #UNTIL I REMEMBERED. and looked it up. And I have not known peace since. good music. #anw I've been rambling too much so yeah. gn my dear fellows!!

[welcometoteyvat]

arlecchino's official title is "father" when house of hearth members refer to her ......... please just one chance please please

#GOD. me when slightly more masc women #idk i really hope they keep that just bc it would be so nice to have some more canonical gender fuckery as little as it is #i hope they write her well because MAN she's been so interesting so far #. kind to kids; who also end up becoming essentially child soldiers; 'has her own agenda' according to childe.. #thinking back to my own post abt her and house of hearth: seems like she really does care abt the kids in her org (or acts like it well eno #enough . but ahskdjksfjl she could ofc be another person who knows how bargaining and equivalent exchange works. like. save your life for #a debt. win loyalty via small favors that are actually nice things and things she doesn't mind doing etc #think how bai.zhu operates but a lot more ethically questionable #please please let her be a well rounded evil. her design is already so cool (minus the long rat tail ponytail thing :\) #chewing on her and her motivations and backstory for enrichment #genshin spoilers #4.0 spoilers #fontaine spoilers #arlecchino #i hope! they make her self aware enough to know she's doing evil. or not evil but not morally great things . and i sure hope they don't #write it off as 'this for that. food/shelter for doing 'jobs' for me' when the job is literally . murder and spying and all sorts of other #stuff. or ig she can justify it like that but IDK all im asking is that she doesn't get the shogun treatment #teyvat thoughts #ramblings!

[acaciapines]

i need to talk about the dess raises kris au. or im gonna explode.

#chatter #GOOD TIMING TO THINK ABOUT AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY: EDITING UR TOH DAEMON AU LOL #like i can separate it out enough when im working lol but afterwards. oh its all deltarune babey!!! #been thinking a lot about dess and how i wanna write her #(aka im gonna canonize some mental stuff i've always kinda had in the back of my mind for her) #and GOD. dess. i forgive her for all her flaws <3 #but no shes sooooo fascinating to me in this au its just. she was Eighteen. right in the middle of a pretty bad psychotic break. #the only person ever in her corner (asriel) Did Not Believe her and has always been real shitty about her undiagnosed mental illnesses #(dw we will come back to this i have a LOT of ideas for azzy lol he is. uh. not the best at the start!) #and so like. of course when it comes to kris her best was never going to be enough. #but GOD im soooo fascinated by like. she does genuinely really truly care for kris. #yes its messy and caught up in a bunch of other things but she LOVES THEM #even if she cannot ever love them in the way they want her to (ie as a parent loves a child) #and is it fair for kris? no! course it isnt!!! #but theres no changing the past and so. this is kris's life now #and its dess's life now. and they just have to live with what happened #thinking about the like. 6 months to a year where it was just dess and kris (before chara) and. god. #GOD. YOU GUYS. #sorry this au is. um. i think it is my everything. like. #if you know you know (hi stars lol <3) but. man.........man. #i have a lot of thoughts about. prophecy. and when translating that out beyond just story and into like. the real world #cause lets be real prophecy doesnt exist but things w this power of 'you are supposed to be x and cannot be anything but x' DO and #god. the dess raises kris au is So Much. #also yeah another acacia tags essay they simply hit differently <3 #also enough to go into the main tag so #drkau #anyways lemme go back to editing lol

parts of you still linger here.

#the sims 4 #ts4 #liam #lyra #guiding lights #ts4 render #the twins make me sad :O: #them as teens because i'm really excited for the upcoming pack!! #ea please give us tree houses for this upcoming pack #nobody dies but lyra ended up rolling heir which means she stays on the island #which is ironic because she was always the wild child and wanted to explore in my save #and ended up being the one doomed to stay on the island #the lore in this save is convoluted but basically someone has to stay of the island to man the lighthouse #because this save is tied to open season #as a preternatural keeper in conjunction with emery #liam does get his own adventure because he goes to college and then does the globe e trotter challenge #and sends postcards n stuff back to lyra n mom/dad

Still thinking about Rebecca... Mr de Winter is like someone tried to recreate Rochester except he is worse

#listen... rochester might have had that woman locked fown in the atric but de winter killed his wife and ghaslighted the #second ms de winter throughout all the plot. like idk about the book but in the movie the man insists rebecca died by #accident and that poor girl is so so so desperate to believe him... jane had a clearer mind i think. #another thing: de winter literally treats his new wife like a child. just look at the first 30 minutes of the movie or so #he likes her because she is young. rochester might be a lot of things but at least treats jane like an adult #finally........ to be honest at least rochester does genuinely (after some point i guess) love jane. yeah sure still not a good man #but mr de winter??????? he married that girl on a whim and because he was so unbearably lonely and you can't convince me otherwise #jane sure was rather destitute younger of lesser social standing but she knew the world. she had a clear head. she was mature in #a lot of things. but the protagonist in rebecca is an orphan a destitute a much younger and of lesser standing than #her husband but on top of that? she doesn't know the world. she has never had to fend for herself. she is less mature in every way #laura watches stuff

[seaquestions]

been having casual gender thoughts, and im feelin the word nonbinary more than i have before. its not a new revelation and this changes absolutely nothing really cos ive known the specifics of my gender for a long time.. im more just like… ive been sorting thru the many things that shaped me as a person. spring cleaning but with stray thoughts in my brain. figured its about time i truly let myself chill tf out abt being not entirely a man (but the not-a-man bit’s just for me to fully perceive and comprehend).

#incoherent turtle noises #it does feel nice to say! feels like im coming to terms with a lot of the other stuff that overlap or are adjacent to My Gender Identity #that mystery 10% of my gender that isn’t Just A Guy is being rounded up and oh man its so much personal history contextualising it. #so me saying ‘there are layers to my gender identity im not Just a man’ is more like an odd byproduct of looking back at my childhood and #seeing the ways that the culture around me affected who i was as a child & who i grew up to be. #like hey man. everything is connected. i am just a series of tubes (like the internet).

#cw negative #its not that bad i just need 2 rant for a bit #because like why does my mother say such ridiculous shit sometimes #i went to go wash my dish and she said ah youre finally doing the dishes .. LIKE i try to but what do i do when my brother insists on doing #it everytime ! and takes it from my hands and blocks the sink and he’ll make a big fuss if i don’t let him do it ! #like literally scold me and tell me to put it down or else he’ll get irritated #i lightheartedly told her that and then she was like well yeah you're still a woman then went on about how its the womans job to [ . . . ] #its really the small things like that i think. she has such outdated beliefs. i hear her saying things like its the womans job to take care #of the house and her man and etc and i'm like ok i Know i literally won't win if i try to do so much as nudge her #but then she also talks about other things that just irk the shit out of me !!! the rapture abortion etc #the one time she told me to my face if she couldve aborted me she would have. making comments on my body and just #i don't hate her. overall we have a good relationship. but its just these small things and her gross outdated beliefs and how gullible she #can be and stuff like that. she tells me i have such an easy life but i can't bear to tell her i was ever suicidal or ever self harmed #because i KNOW she'd tell me i'd go to hell if i ever tried to kill myself #i know this wholeee thing might be really intense and sad and stuff but i'm totally okay /gen i'm just! awfully irritated #thinking back on all those dumbass things she's said and done like. agh;; #its not her fault i think ive noticed a lot of filipina women (or at least the ones around me) tend to hold those beliefs so she was prolly #taught these as a child but . come on!! im so tired of the misogynistic shit she says and . ugh #cw self harm mention #cw suicide mention

[hanatiny]

sorry for Ranting On Main™️, I just need to get this out of my system, feel free to ignore

#would literally be sooo cool if my family could stop being patronizing/borderline condescending #treating me like a child is getting old very fucking quickly. my mom always jokes how glad I'll be once I [finally] move out and it's like. #''ok but what if it wasn't a joke'' (internally anyway) #telling me what to do & not do with MY money like I'm not a fully grown adult is so...... #like yes I've made financially questionable decisions before. but never before fighting myself for DAYS on whether or not I really want it #stop treating me like I'm 5 challenge (impossible) #and also acting like I'm lazy just bc you don't see me doing uni stuff like.. idk I work my ass off for those grades but go off I guess... #even then. I'm allowed to take breaks. I'm allowed to lie down and nap when I have headaches that refuse to go away. I have FEELINGS man... #being ridiculed for expressing said feelings & being sensitive is really Not It either like newsflash all this does is make me hate u <3 #I feel like this is just the tip of the iceberg but #shit like this is a big part of why 1. I haven't come out to anyone irl & 2. I refuse to voice my 'neurodivergence theory' out loud #because I know I wouldn't get taken seriously!! I fucking KNOW it!! and it sucks!!! #tw toxic family #tw negativity #(trying to not fall into the mindset of ''but others have it so much worse''....) #I don't particularly expect/want pity from anyone btw. I'm just really frustrated and don't want to bottle it up anymore

okay i’m gonna talk owk criticism in the tags for a sec 😵‍💫

#i do think that they’re reusing plot devices that have worked well such as the grizzled old man + cute child dynamic #but to say there isn’t anything being said in the show? i do disagree with !! #getting insight into how obi wan lived in those years #how he struggled with such guilt and pain #and how his connection to leia formed #i value that a lot !! #plus just getting any sort of leia character development is such a breath of fresh air #it’s not that i personally enjoy the show because ‘wow look at these characters u love!! they sure are doing stuff !!!!’ #it’s because i’m getting much desired insight !! #idk i think anyone who finds obi wan boring in the first place is going to think the show is boring so like 🙃 duh?? #this was a lil pointless and ramble-y. i don’t mean to defend a fuckin starred wars show of all things ofc #and it does always deserve criticism !! #it’s just a different perspective from mine i suppose :-) #like no shit if you dislike obi wan you’re probably not going to like a show centered around obi wan’s grief #‘this show adds nothing to the characters’ to YOU !! not to me !! #i always love a dive into obi wan and anakin !! and if i’m being honest !! #i actually love leia a lot more now 🤷‍♀️ i feel like she lacked particularly loving writing in the originals #anyways.txt

spent basically all new years day watching the entirety of flux and honeslty for a series written entirely by chinball it actually wasn’t even as bad as his eps from series 12. Half looking forward to moving on to the specials and finishing off this whole era

#his timeless child plotline is still dogshit though #not counting how hard the whole plot falls arat towards the end either #his insistence on making his whole era about rewritting and retconning the doctor's backstory into them ebing some sort of god figure #is honestly like the worst thing he does #and for that alone i wouldnt be completely upset if his whole era and all it brought to the table gets totally swept aside with davies #even the stuff i've really enjoyed from his time like the music/aesthetic choises #the new opening especially is probably my favorite out of the new series ones #but everything else he's brought to the table is so between middling and bad that it wouldnt surp[rise me if they go for a full shift #and still for as good as s13 was i can only really even say it was better than s12 #because if i ever wanted to revisit six eps from his era i sure as shit wouldnt pick these six #probably a mix of some of s11 and 12's best #anyway #gotta figure out what the actual viewing order is for s14 since they all seem to be specials and the site im watching on has been out of ord #but i prob wont watch it tonight #prob save it for some other day #give myself a break from chin man's antics

please let volume 2 be a total character reset im begging. ik its probably contrary to the popular opinion but i really think it’d be to the benefit of the server for people to make new characters and start new storylines and ideas

#look i love the discduo storyline! i love horror stuff! #i was genuinely disappointed when the prison break storyline didn't eventuate into anything! #but it's very much run it's course and to a degree it a) does prevent either person from just logging on and causing shit #and b) as someone else rightly said cdream has just become too much of a villainous influence #both in terms of how his still being at large does prevent other arcs from getting more space to breathe #and how we've come to a point where it's going to be difficult to escalate further - i mean mans has blown up a nation several times #abused a child and tortured several people through killing and reviving them. like what more do you do at this point? #also in general a reset allows people to come in with a clean slate and make content with people they dont normally interact with #and it also allows for people who are enemies or directly opposed in vol 1 lore to come together or team up #i have heard that they might be writing vol 2 lore behind the scenes which does make me a little bit eh #i'd love to see a bit more organic lore where shit begins just because someone has the audacity to steal something or kidnap a pet #or because some people form a chaotic group that influences the server in a way #and it just escalates stupidly from there #basically season 0-1 lore lmao. causing trouble for trouble's sake and adding onto it #but hey as long as theyre having fun and the pressure to go further above and beyond is alleviated a bit then hey #it's been too long since people weren't traumatised is what i'm saying lmao it's time to let the people breathe #and to let new arcs have room to flourish #ah yes long tags discussion. the meta of pointless-names dot tumblr dot com
