#Dealer too

I am invested in this character. (Emotionally, narratively, romantically, sexually, frontwards, backwards, upside down, 360* no co)

DC x DP Prompt: Bruce is bad at emoting but at least ghosts are empathic (too bad bat kids are not)

Was reading Twincognito on AO3 when I stumbled across this gem again:

~

" “Danny, Tim. I was just…checking in. Is everything alright?” Curse his inability to make meaningful conversation when it wasn’t a life or death situation.

They glanced at each other and shrugged.

Then Danny hauled himself out of the bed and walked over to Bruce.

Bruce tried not to let too much excitement show on his face. "

~

Now I really want to read a story where Bruce adopts Danny post Meta trafficking and is being his usual emotionally constipated self. His kids keep getting mad at him because he's treating their new meta brother who was trafficked poorly (generally being stilted in conversation with him, walking away hurriedly mid-conversation, avoiding Danny when he's feeling really awkward, etc). They think Bruce is discriminating against Danny for being a civilian, meta, dealer's pick, but really it's just Bruce being horribly socially awkward. Danny knows this because of ghost empathy and find the whole thing hilarious. The whole thing comes to a head with the Bat Kids staging an intervention in the Bat Cave.

Sun is ummmm, not the most sane individual ( ゜▽゜)

Not exactly how it went, but it's a scene from Chap 30 in Dealer's Choice by @certified-handler (Which you should like totally read by the way 👀)

Young Enver and Virgil have captivated my thoughts today. Also, I realized that I have the power to give Enver a neck tattoo so I did :-).

They probably just did a heist or smth. Gonna celebrate by trying to kill each other.

KEEP TALKING TO ME

"It doesn't have to be like this / All we need to do is make sure / We keep talking."

@goobygnarp thank you for the inspiration 💚

PS i will leave too the pic without the dialogue bubbles layer: tbh this piece could look even better if worked on a vertical canvas but AGH time...

Prompt:

Both Jason and Damian think the other has died during their time with the League.

Jason, in his grief, goes back to his plans of making Batman pay and beating his replacement into the ground.

Damian goes back to his assassin training like a madman, vowing to find the person who took Jason away from him.

It all gets a little complicated when he finds out Jason may not actually be dead at all.

even if it is hereditary, so long as you don't force that sort of lifestyle on your potential kids it shouldn't concern you that much

it’s more like. i know what it was like growing up and i don’t wish that on anyone else. for a long time i was controlled by urges i didn’t understand, it was a form of torture almost.

i mean this in that food literally controlled my life—my choices, relationships, almost everything revolved around food. a part of it was definitely adhd but god it fucking sucked. so many of my memories ages 4-15 specifically have to do with an ache that’s hard to define but like. as a teen i was an impulsive liar that manipulated people in order to procure food 😭

my parents checked my backpack every day just to find countless wrappers, i can’t count how many times i was grounded bc of this. it actually made matters so much worse. what is a child unable to see friends or do ANYTHING going to do when they’re desperately in need of dopamine? lmfao

on the other hand… if we weren’t poor (parents constantly gone/working) and i was able to actually do things i enjoyed (ex: hiking, swimming, going to a friends place, being outside without 100+ degree temps) it would’ve been a totally different story. i want kids but i don’t want someone to grow up like i did, you know? as a child you just need and you can’t explain it

You design is so great I'm on my knees, you gave me motivation to draw Dealer fanarts in the first place 😭😭😭

I want to bite your version of him so much just grgrgrgrgrgrgrgrgr/pos

[logicpng]

Grabs you . Hi. Do you think , the Dealer would enjoy hugs. 12/10 hug shaped

you're giving me the opportunity to be very self-indulgent for a second and you understand i'm gonna grab onto that

but even self-indulgence aside i do think yes! the feeling of warmth is nice and just feeling more tangible with his uhh partial physicality, if that makes sense. you know how feeling air movement on the skin makes you feel a bit more alive?

the indulgence comes in the fact that i basically can't think of *any* situation that would go into that, within the setting? not really much of any good opportunity for it. but i can at least improvise

modern jiang cheng would have a really sick, intricate lotus tattoo that wei wuxian would never stop making fun of

Connecting dots tonight (didn't connect shit, I've connected them, etc) because of this post about item descriptions to do with Sampo I saw a few days ago and! I feel like there are so many interesting things that could be implied from this!! Because the recipe for the High-Tech Protective Gear is given to you by Bronya (before the IPC invaded Belobog!), who says this little interesting tidbit about it:

This is an item from before the Eternal Freeze, 700 years ago. Even to the rest of the universe, it would be SORELY outdated. It cannot be made in Belobog anymore due to the loss of entire eras. It is effectively useless; this recipe had to be somewhere gathering dust, kept around solely for archival purposes. There is no reason for Sampo to know about this item or have any idea how it works and yet. AND YET. He's just running around selling knock offs!!

He shouldn't even know how to make these, but the fact that he does means Sampo either

had the blueprints from off-world before he came to Belobog (most likely but also most boring answer)

broke into Qlipoth Fort and copied down the blueprints (completely plausible - he's possibly shown doing exactly that in his splash art)

found another copy out in the ruins of the old world (also completely plausible - Sampo is astoundingly resilient against both the Fragmentum and the cold, as noted by Lynx haha)

Meanwhile, the Inferior Protective Gear recipe comes from an NPC in the underground, and when she gives it to you, she talks about building robots and the robot fighting scene sorry about the quality I didn't have screenshots for her dialogue so I had to use wiki

Which makes me feel like it's safe to say that the inferior gear is mostly being used in the underground, especially by the vagrants and their robots for fights, because...well, who else would use it? Cocolia has made it illegal to explore too far into the Snow Plains, and besides, it's way too dangerous for most civilians even WITH gear. The Silvermane Guards are funded by official sources, they have no reason to rely on Sampo for armor. So it makes sense for an underground mechanic to know the recipe; there's probably not as much market for it up in the overworld.

And if you look at the descriptions, you can see why this probably wasn't something that could be made in Belobog anymore; it requires a charging system of some sort.

We know it's not a problem with the basic materials because all three ingredients can be found right in the administrative district. But the underground only has two of them; somehow, despite being in the planet's crust, and literally crawling with robots...there is no metal down there. It isn't found anywhere, sold by anyone, or dropped by anything. And metal just so happens to be the one ingredient Sampo replaces in his knock off version.

The Inferior Gear uses trash instead, something which, going by the words of that same mechanic, is MORE than abundant in the underground- any good quality parts are extremely difficult to come by down there.

Anyway, all his shadiness aside, I love the implication that Sampo is smart enough to be able to take this item that no one else on the planet probably knows anything about, and was able to figure out what he could replace, and how, and with what, in order to make it easily accessible to the people of the underground, even without access to overworld resources. Because his version DOES work! It literally gives you the exact same amount of defense boost as the IPC one!

Someone should absolutely still knock him around for it, though, world's most slappable face fr fjkdsjfdkjafk
