Just asked her about it again and they still don't know where they got it from, but apparently it's from 2013?? And is a ground to plane missile? And was found by a hired cleaner, like it was literally stumbled upon by the poor guy (I'm digging back from years old conversations for this info)

They had moved out of there shortly after the missile thing happened apparently according to her so

what’s your funniest “ao3 curse” moment?

probably the time my neighbor tried to kill us with a propane tank?

[milk-n-dairy]

this reminds me of the time that one of my friends neighbors had an entire ass missile in their attic, that house has been burned down before too with the missile in there pretty sure

she's not even an ao3 author her neighborhood is just insane like that

Im just gonna let this be my first post but, I just encountered this in a batfam sickfic that I was reading and it had Alfred taking temperature in fahrenheit which makes sense because they live in jersey

HOWEVER

Alfred is from England and probably grew up with taking body temperature using Celsius and is probably more comfortable with doing so. Like yeah he most definitely knows fahrenheit, but he was the primary caretaker for Bruce for the longest time, so it would make sense for Bruce to naturally to be inclined towards using C when measuring temperature because that's what he learned from alfred

My evidence to back this up? I moved to the states when I was 5 and to this day I do not know how to measure body temperature outside of celsius (thanks to my mom only using C whenever either of us got sick) so I'm projecting this onto bruce, and most definitely the kids as well

Like I see Damian and probably Dick understanding Celsius better since they aren't from gotham originally, Jason grew up using Fahrenheit but was young enough to understand and switch between F and C, cass probably didn't know any temperature system so she most likely got exposed to C only due to Alfred and Bruce, while everyone else is knows F best and it takes them a second to convert the temperatures in their brains to understand how badly sick someone is

Tim is Janet Drake’s son left and right.

Tim HATES being Janet Drake’s son left and right.

Don’t get him wrong! He loves the woman but he would prefer… not… being her. She’s cold, manipulative and would not care about running you over if that’s the way to reach her goals.

Tim, sadly, is cold, manipulative and will not care about running you over if that’s the way to reach his goals.

It causes creeps in his family’s back every time that Timothy Jackson DRAKE shows up.

Bruce decides to show up to a broad meeting to see if his teenage son is doing good in his spot as CEO, and he almost leaves the room immediately when Tim starts to absolutely roast every decision ever made by Bruce or any other person in the room, with the most emotionless expression ever seen. It was all Janet Drake and Bruce was scared.

tim is on the thinnest ice for becoming a supervillain. the gotham rogues don’t know just how thin it is but they are well aware that out of all the bats (yes even the red hood, yk the crime lord) red robin is the one most likely to end up joining their rogue status.

most of the batfam are not aware of this, except for bruce, cass, damian, and jason.

cass knows just from watching him cause of course she does. she also found one of his Completely Normal And Not At All Supervillain-y Plans. she has him tell her the plans so he’s not spending weeks fleshing them out and it’s more like ranting to her. she does however keep an eye on him during his bad days cause some of those plans were concerning

damian was about to kill someone (very deserved, and also very early on in his career) and tim just drops down in front of him so damian is obviously thinking “oh shit he’s gonna tell them and i’ll be cast out of the family and oh god-“ and he just. “want me to help hide it or do you got it?” damian just blinks cause what. he thought tim was gonna be the most strict on the no kill rule

tim actually deliberately let jason know cause he pissed him off once (interrupted his nap). all he did was take over jason’s gang for a week, made it seem like he was red hood without jason knowing what was going on, make it better, and then insult jason and tell him how he could’ve done it EVEN BETTER but he just didn’t feel up to it. jason has both a newfound respect and fear of tim. he’s also a little salty about just how good tim ran his gang but that’s between him and the gods

bruce knows cause one time during tim as robin he rold bruce “if you kill anyone i WILL become a villain and you are NOT prepared.” and then forced bruce to go to sleep. bruce honestly isn’t 100% sure if that was a hallucination or not but he’s leaning to not. he also just doesn’t know what he can do about it cause that kid made him eat, sleep, shower, and take proper care of himself what’s he gonna do? bench him? bench the kid who benches batman once???

steph also learns but that’s cause she stumbled upon him literally about to take that step and instead of doing anything about it just called him edgy and that was enough to shock him back. she’s not gonna become one with tim but she jokes about them having a batman and catwoman relationship and that alone is keeping him from actually doing so

MORE IWATEX OCS YEAH

This is Iri (they/them) they were born on the Stratospheric and they want to be a teacher (If you can't read the text, check under the cut)

Iridescent (Iri)

Name Origin: having a shimmer that seems to change colors at different angles

Augment: Heightened empathy

Iri has always had a deep fascination with everything the world has to offer, and a never ending desire to learn. Iri is the type to remember insignificant things about another person, the way they fiddle with their fingers or how much sugarbug syrup they want in their blep tea. They love everything, from the smallest bug to the biggest stars. As much as it seems like it, Iri doesn't go through rose tinted glasses, they simply choose kindness as a form of resilience.

Iri is always there as a shoulder to cry on, but because they know the weight of other's feelings, it makes it hard for them to do the same.

I Was a Teenage Exocolonist is extremely funny because it has an extremely cutesy artstyle and the description makes it sound very cozy and positive and whatnot (and to some degree it is!) But then the game starts with multiple unavoidable(*) deaths and (usually) ends with either genocide or constant unending war, and tops off with potentially multiple loved ones dying early of stress related medical issues.

And sure its genuinely optimistic in tone, and even though the first ending I got was Pretty depressing, it did have its good parts. But like. Man the tonal whiplash is Strong

a series of events:

-about two days ago, I woke up and opened my phone

-see discord first thing. weird, thought I closed it before bed.

-i did do that. but apparently when half asleep i sent alighterwood a lot of texts about plot things that i apparently fixed.

-i then remember sending the messages but not the content of them

-there was also a voice message. was partly comprehensible

-realized i did in fact fix some plot issues and got some great ideas from whatever dream i had

-exit discord and see that i have my voice recording app open

-"huh?"

-click the first one. it was even more of what I sent to alighterwood, but not comprehensible at all. i do NOT remember this part

-leave it for a day, not worried about it

-come back later and see there's actually a lot more voice recordings than i think there should be

-they are ALL voice recordings of me, having woken up in the middle of the night to tell myself about shit i need to do for my writing. this is only intelligible because i managed to say a couple familiar names here and there. the rest of it makes zero sense whatsoever.

-there was one recording that is 5 seconds long

transcript of that:

(dead silence for 3 seconds, then I speak in a horrified tone, as if this hurt my very soul) "........................aint no limb? who took it?"

The bats had no idea what they were looking at. A very large vehicle that looked like it shouldn’t possibly be able to run was speeding around Gotham in no particular order. Almost as if it was looking for something. It took all of the bats over an hour to chase it down and contain it to question the driver.

A man with black hair and blue eyes that remind Bruce of his late father looks out the window, and says, “We’re looking for our son.”

A woman in the passenger seat that looks like Bruce’s mother adds, “The self sacrificial idiot jumped through a portal into another dimension trying to save a cat.”

The man nodded along, “It’s not really a cat though.”

“Well, what is it?” Tim asked, genuinely confused.

“It’s the alternate version of our son from a timeline where he went evil.” The woman responds.

“But don’t worry, he’s not evil anymore!” The man grins.

Bruce had questions. “But why would your son be a cat?”

“Because our daughter—the girl cloned from the current version of our son, that is—decided to shapeshift into a dog and chase him through the multiverse.” The man replied.

“So our other daughter, the older one, she decided to alert us, but she couldn’t wait, so now she shapeshifted ito a bird to try and catch them that way.” The woman continued.

“Are all of your children shapeshifters?” Bruce asked.

“Yep.” The man said proudly.

“Are you?” Bruce asked.

“It’s complicated.” The woman shrugged, “Using the GAV is faster.”

Bruce was very thankful that the cowl covered most of his face. Everything the people said just made his brain hurt worse.

Why are there so many gods here?

SO! One day, the Eternal Trio decided to Check if they had ant past lives using Magic.

They already knew that Tucker was the Reincarnation of some Pharoah, so maybe they were also some historical figures in a last life.

It does not go as expected.

Danny finds out that he was the Ancient of Space, and the reason Clockwork was so invested in keeping him from being erased from Time is because he's his Brother apparently.

Sam finds out that she was the Embodiment of The Green, and Undergrowths attempt at Adopting her was some scheme to become the Parent of his used-to-be Queen while she was in Mortal Form, therefore overthrowing her.

Tucker finds out that Duulaman was just one in a long line of the Reincarnations of the Sun God Ra, and that he had been quite a few more historical figures in the Past.

They were surprised to figure this out, but then they got curious.

They tested the Spell out on Jazz, and found that she used to be an Amazonian Goddess, alongside Pandora.

They test it on Dash, and find that he used to be Hermes, God of Travel and Speed.

Ellie was an Embodiment of something called the Speed Force, who was also a child of Space before their rebirth, apparently.

They slowly realize that almost every person of note in Amity Park is the Reincarnation of some kind of God or Spirit. And none of them seem to realize that.

Why are there so many reborn Gods in this town?

...

Constantine is actually asking himself the EXACT same question at that very moment, after a botched teleportation spell landed him in Amity Park.
