#[Thank you for the ask!]

[mourningsbane]

Rootstar, how was your relationship with your late sister? Is there anything you regret?

Also, are you scared of death? Do you entrust you have your 9 lives? Can you or your medicine cat even convene with StarClan these days?

"My greatest regret is thinking I'd have more time to fix things."

It rained the day of her funeral.

So is I alright if I ask this?

I've seen the post where everyone wants to be Tim's favorite, might I ask if you could combine it with the 'Tim will never be anyone's favorite' and the brain dead post spin off? I think it'd be super angst angsty if the bats realize tehy unitentionally screwed up with Tim.

Oh, this is such a good ask! and now I’m going to be feral about it, thank you. Combining all of those ideas? Buckle up because this is going to get angsty.

—

Tim Drake will never be anyone’s favorite.

He’s always known it, accepted it as fact, because it’s not just about how he’s never felt like anyone’s favorite—it’s about how he’s been conditioned to believe that no one could favor him. He spent so much of his life trying to make himself useful to the people around him, because if he couldn’t be loved, he could at least be needed. If they needed him, they’d have to keep him around, right?

So that’s what Tim became. The utility knife of the Batfamily. The glue, the fixer, the one who knew how to put everything back together even if no one ever thought to ask how he was holding up.

And if that meant sacrificing pieces of himself, so what? He was never anyone’s favorite. He had no illusion that anyone would fight for him, that he’d be prioritized. The mission came first. Gotham came first. Family was a distant second, if it ranked at all.

Then there’s Danny.

Danny doesn’t come in with the expectations or baggage the rest of the Bats have. Danny doesn’t know Tim as a placeholder Robin or a second chance or a stolen birthright. He knows Tim as Tim—sharp, exhausted, himself. And Danny thinks that’s amazing.

He says it, too, without hesitation. “You’re my favorite,” he says like it’s a fact. Like Tim has always been the first name on someone’s list.

And it’s such a foreign concept to Tim that his first reaction is suspicion. He doesn’t trust it—can’t trust it—because when has anyone ever favored him? Even when Danny shows time and again that he’s not going anywhere, that his affection for Tim is unconditional, Tim’s waiting for the other shoe to drop. For Danny to grow tired of him, to leave, to regret his words.

But Danny doesn’t. He stays.

And that’s where it all starts to unravel for the rest of the family.

They see it—the way Danny looks at Tim like he’s the most important person in the room. The way Tim slowly starts to relax around him, shedding the defensive, brittle edges he’s always carried with them. The way Danny makes it obvious—painfully obvious—that Tim is his favorite person.

It's then that it hits them.

None of them have ever made Tim feel that way.

They start noticing the cracks they’ve left in him, the ones they never saw because they were too busy leaning on Tim to hold them together. They think back to all the times Tim had been the one to put in the effort to maintain their relationships, the way he always came through for them when they needed him, but how little they ever did for him in return.

They see the way he hesitates when Danny shows him affection—how it catches Tim off guard every time, like he’s still waiting for it to be a trap. And the Bats realize they’ve conditioned Tim to expect exactly that.

It guts them.

Cass had always known, in the quiet way she read people, that Tim didn’t feel like he belonged. She saw it in the way he held himself—guarded, distant, bracing for rejection. She’d tried, in her small, subtle ways, to show him he mattered, but watching Danny with him now, she realized she hadn’t done enough, that there was so much more she could have done for him not to feel that way. She hadn’t known how deep the hurt ran, and the guilt settled heavy in her chest.

Danny... Danny treated him differently.

Dick, who always tried to be a good brother but never saw the way Tim’s shoulders tensed under the weight of being “good enough.” Jason, who hated him for wearing the Robin colors but never noticed how much Tim blamed himself for taking them in the first place. Bruce, who thought giving Tim responsibility was enough to show he cared, but never thought to give him unconditional support. Damian, who fought Tim at every turn but never realized how much Tim already hated himself for existing in a role Damian felt should have been his.

Even Steph, and Duke—all of them thought Tim was fine because Tim made himself fine. Because Tim was the one who fixed things, and none of them stopped to ask what he needed.

It becomes almost unbearable for them to watch Danny care for Tim, because Danny makes it look so easy. He loves Tim so openly, so obviously, that it highlights every way the family failed to do the same.

And Tim? Tim doesn’t even seem to know he deserves it.

It’s the wake-up call they all desperately needed but never wanted. They don’t know how to fix it. But watching Danny and Tim together, seeing the way Tim is finally beginning to believe he’s worthy of being loved, they know one thing for certain:

They can’t undo the past.

But maybe, if they try hard enough, they can make sure Tim never feels that way again.

Wait a sec... Did Big Leo know about Sprout's extra eye beans before sacrificing himself?? I can't remember now :c

I really love that you have Big Leo crows feet! They look like they've always belonged there.

I dont even think Sprout knows about them yet, they only just came in while he was asleep after the big fight update! And so, in comic, he has so far only slept and then slept again with probably no chance to realize they appeared lmao.

Big Leo has always had crows feet meanwhile if you look at some of my way older comics, then with the choice of not giving them to Sprout and also giving Sprout extra beans, it helps differentiate their faces even though they are both Leo <3

Erin is there any hints on where jason is in Peter's universe? Cuz I am dying to know

(and if there is a hint then looks like I am rereading lof for the 5th time in 2025)

hmmm not Jason, but I did give a hint about Cass and Damian in the Christmas one shot. Cass' is very hidden (it's one line) and only noticeable if you know about Cass being a dancer 🩰. Damian's is more overt because Peter actually got to see him in person. qe actually got to see and speak to Duke, but I haven't hinted at anyone else within LoF itself or the oneshot as far as I know. i can say that the oneshot gives hints as to possibilities for where the others are and where they ended up. right now, Duke is the firechief for Queens and Spider-Man has worked with him before. Peter doesn't remember him because he was so little :( and the community center that May ran got taken over by someone when she passed.

i don't want to spoil... but we will be finding out where everyone else is at. it'll be a minute, though

I will say that Peter's strong reaction to his parents' deaths is a big reason why no one would bring them up to his face for a while or go visit him, and then time and getting busy got the better if them. in this timeline they were close and saw each other, but they were mostly friends, not family, because things had changed. makes it a little tragic, in my eyes. they don't know what they were missing... this also goes for Dick's friends. some of our people are just regular, run of the mill citizens. others... 👀 both have their reasons which is why Peter ended up not being so close to them

[askthenewritoelder]

are you worried about Tulin developing a bit of a... flock of admirers now that he's a Sage and all? he and his peers are just about to hit the age where fledglings DO things about crushes after all, and there's not exactly a lot of boys of that age in the village, he's likely going to be QUITE popular maybe even this time next year, if he doesn't have a 'fanclub' or something already!

I wouldn’t be too surprised if Tulin caught the attention of other fledglings. If not, it’s only a matter of time until somebody takes interest.

Now that I’m thinking about it, Tulin’s been getting a lot of food ever since he became the Wind Sage. One time he brought back a bag full of meat skewers and pastries after returning from an outing. Saki and Master Revali were really happy.

So, Imperial knowledge (elder scrolls lore guy on yt) gathered some data and assessed that in terms of plumbing, in 4E everyone is still using pots to go to the bathroom. So here's my question.

You think the Dwemer also had to use pots? Or were they advanced enough to have toilets?? These are the real questions.

First off, Imperial Knowledge is such a fantastic channel. I can't wait for him to do the lore exam again because I didn't manage to do it last year and I'd love a chance to get a Lore Masters Degree 😌 (If I'd pass lol)

Here's the video mentioned

Now, as for your question? As much as I'd love to say that yeah, Dwemer had toilets, I don't think so. Mainly because, wouldn't you think that knowledge would then spread to the Chimer > Dunmer and then the rest of Tamriel?

But who knows ¯\_ʘ‿ʘ_/¯ Their ruins do have a shit ton of pipes (I know lots of them are steam though lol)

Do you have more clover and Asriel art :0

have at thee!

(The "Cosmic Cowboy" shirt was an ancient shirt of Starlo, Clover dug it out of his dads dresser like a racoon in a trashcan, and refuses to give it back.)

[fancifulsonicships]

ahhhh this is a great account !! i've been thinking about these type of ship names for sonic some time now, didn't know this format was called this way! could i request amy/shadow platonically? (btw i love ur names so far !!)

DAY 13: BLOODBLOOM DUO

The platonic pairing between Shadow the Hedgehog and Amy Rose.

Despite the negative sound, blood was chosen to note on their shared design colour of red. The colour red can also be a nod to anger, which they both express quite freely.

In Sa2, Amy is the one who gets through to Shadow using kindness and perseverance to see the good in everyone. This positive act from Amy is what sets Shadow on his character arc, finding his purpose and helping him to properly bloom.

💕 Rayllum from the ask game!

💕: who is more likely to make huge declarations of love in front of other people?

Callum. Always Callum. He loves saying sweet things to Rayla all the time, it embarrasses her to no end but she secretly loves it. It's at the point where other people living near them make bets on how long it'll take Callum to loudly declare some form of undying love to her - his current record is three in the morning.

Rayla prefers to show her affection in subtler ways, with little touches and hugs, but she humours him.

Our boy is champion of heartfelt speeches and will launch into one whenever she is the slightest bit sad.

favourite ditch headcanons GO!

(some of mine are that Titch princess carries Derek and that Titch is the cuddle initiator :])

YES TO BOTH OF THOSE

OKAY SO AGSHSHSGHDJDJJDKSHJJH

Okay so headcanon that Derek has a pink apron he wears when cooking breakfast in the mornings (so that titch can sleep in because he overworks himself) and Titch SAYS it’s dumb and it looks stupid but it makes him blush. Titch hates accidentally sleeping in because it’s “wasting time” so Derek tries to wake up before him and makes sure he at least can have a nice breakfast.

I love the headcanon that Derek really likes stars and Titch doesn’t really understand but likes to see Derek happy and they lie down in the fields sometimes and stare up at the night sky together.

I think that Derek loves pet names and calls Titch every cute little nickname name under the sun and Titch just calls him by his name (but also I think Titch calling him babe would be really cute too)

Titch gets overprotective of Derek and one time they were in town and maybe there was someone who was talking to him who was making him uncomfortable and so Titch comes up to them all 5’7 like HEY THATS MY BOYFRIEND >:[

I just came up with this now but imagine that there’s a creek on the farm that they swim in together

I headcanon Titch has a lot of random scars everywhere from farm work and small cuts and stuff don’t phase him but every time he gets a little injury now Derek FREAKS OUT and cleans and dresses it and Titch is just sitting there like “babe it’s litterally the size of a papercut”

I think that they’ve got a couple of dogs (like those farm type dogs) too

Ok last one for now Titch sometimes falls asleep at his desk. When it gets too late to do farm work he comes inside and does paperwork and sometimes falls asleep on it and Derek comes in and carries him upstairs (oh my gosh I just had a fic idea) even though I think stitch would definetly carry Derek around

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK JUNYU :)) I LOVE DITCH SO MUCH

Would Lamb like listening to Narinder's heartbeat and vice versa?

I would say so~

As for vice versa..

[bluegiragi]

Hey, I’ve recently read through your hybrid comics and I got a bit curious. Graves blood was flowing through the cockatrice wich made it possible for him to control it, that atleast how I understood it. And Soap kinda mauled that thing… Does that mean he now has some of Graves blood inside him to? So theoretically, would Graves be able to control him as well or is that not how it works? I’m a bit confused but also really intrigued right now

Yes, that is how it would work! That is, if Soap wasn't a werewolf. But as he explained, werewolf blood cancels out the influence of vampire blood (they have a natural immunity due to some generational beef their ancestors once had). So Soap's completely fine at the moment :)

Halloween AU!!!

hey so. i put SOOOOO much effort into this au and for what? at least it ended up looking cool? anyways Halloween is my favorite holiday and i just HAD to make something for them!

i had a LOT of ideas for what everyone would be, but i really wanted to stick to a certain theme cause it's based around Halloween. i knew i had to have a vampire, werewolf, and a witch. cause like... obviously. iconic Halloween stuff!! but i took some liberties with everyone else and i think they turned out pretty cool!!

Jason was originally a fox shifter (which i still love and might draw art for some day) but i went with a bear in the end. is that because i thought about tiny bear cub Jaybin and wanted to cry? yeah. yeah it is. i KNEW Steph was going to be my werewolf though i started doubting myself when i went to draw her. turned out to be my favorite drawing on here which makes sense cause she is my light my love my daughter my will to live and all that jazz

Tim was actually gonna be a harpy but thank god i didn't go for that in the end. Duke was the one that was a bitch and a half trying to figure out BUT!! comments on the post asking what y'all thought led me towards Psychic so THANK YOUUUU everybody that commented!! (specifically those who thought of ghost!! Duke and Tim ended up being a perfect duo in this au)

Babs was pretty easy to figure out what I wanted for her. I read somewhere that they are seen as protectors of forests/ are considered spiritual authority figures and also.... she looks cool as fuck. Did not expect how easy it was to find a ref for a deer in a wheelchair though? I can never find the right hand or face angle reference but that was super easy???

For Bruce there was literally no question he HAD to be human. it's literally so funny that everyone who knows Batman thinks he's a spooky vampire but he's human. his first son, however?????? THAT'S the vampire. I knew Dick had to be a vampire too. A little nod towards that one comic run but in my au nothing bad happens ever 🥰 Damian also being a bat shifter is very on purpose because how funny is it that he's a bat man. Literally not a single person in the League thinks that Bruce is telling the truth about being human. Bruce you are NOT beating the secretly a vampire allegations.

adding in Jay's hilarious joke it's so fucking funny:

Alfred is actually a demon. I CAN NOT remember who made this post so if someone can help me find it, it would be appreciated!! because this was inspired by them!!! but somewhere i saw someone talk about Alfred being a demon that Thomas and Martha made a deal with (i think it was for an au idea?) and I just HAD to put it here. Alfred looks so human and everyone expects it, but he's definitely not. I put the ??? because it's so fucking funny. see if you can spot the 1 hint i put on his drawing that something is amiss!!

Peter is from an alternate dimension still, but it is not a world of creatures like him, it's just the same as LoF canon except Peter grew some extra limbs and eyes. He finds that it's actually pretty easy to fit in with the Waynes. Hard to feel like a freak when a guy can turn into a fucking bear, or your dad is a vampire, and the teenagers in the family are trying to summon ghosts or make potions.

additional doodles for this au:

i am still debating whether i am going to draw something for this au or write a oneshot, but i DO want to do something with these for Halloween

[askthenewritoelder]

What's your opinion about the heat death of the universe that will inevitably arrive no matter what we do

………This sounds like a question for @geniuseccentric, but I guess I can share my personal thoughts.

If this is going to happen as you say, all the more reason to treasure every experience while you’re here. Don’t let the end of the universe stop you from living life to the fullest.

[pokeberry5]

Hi for doodle request, can I see Tim showing Damian pictures he took before being Robin?

i got carried away thinking about them

the reality lol:

i think it'd be funny if what finally brought them together is damian gaining a grudging respect for tim when he learns about the obsessive lengths tim went to in the lead up to his assumption of the robin title and tim realizing he's found a fellow devoted dick grayson admirer (just-nightwing admirers and dick-grayson-friends don't count)

bonus:

they're both fanatics
