Since the poll said longer posts with multiple types of Hybrid! Readers interacting with Taskforce 141, I'll start slow, and gain speed as I go. I'll start with Lioness! Reader, Bat! Reader, and go from there! I'm sorry if it seems short still!

Lioness Hybrid! Reader who doesn't like it when people assume they're weak, since they're smaller than the male Lion Hybrids, is automatically weaker. But they've never been allowed to go into the field to prove otherwise. Instead, they get placed on desk at every base, essentially becoming a glorified secretary, and it pisses them off. Over time they become irritable, then they start becoming increasingly agitated, until it gets to the point, that they're just flat out aggressive, and get traded around to different squads since people get tired of dealing with them.

Until John Price of Taskforce 141 sees their file, and decides to transfer them over to base. Immediately, all the personnel on base is put on edge. They've heard the stories of this hybrid, and they don't want to deal with that. Within a week of Lioness! Reader transferring, Price, Ghost, Gaz, and Soap notice that the hybrid seems agitated when they aren't put on missions or on regular training, so they have a small meeting, and decide to test out the abilities of Lioness! Reader. After Lioness! Reader is tested by doing the training regimen that Ghost follows, it's clear to the four men, that while the hybrid is smaller, they're faster and stronger than they seem, so Ghost makes it a point to read up on Lioness Hybrids, and comes up with a training regimen that will allow reader to train to their fullest potential. And it works, the hybrid quickly loses the aggressive behaviors once they start training with the four men, and soon they go on missions with the boys, getting results with brutal efficiency.

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

Bat Hybrid! Reader, who is forced into military sleep schedules, and gets sick easily because of the stress it puts on their bodies. Gaz is visiting the base that the hybrid is at, and immediately notices how bad it is, so he calls Price and explains what's going on, Price then calls Laswell, and there is an emergency transfer for the poor hybrid.

Bat! Reader is allowed to set their sleep schedule to follow their bodies needs, and it starts a discussion about meeting Hybrids needs in the military, and not always forcing them to conform to things, especially not things that will cause their bodies harm, like sleep, diet, and training.

Bat! Reader, who shows their strengths once they're recovered, being able to find things in absolute darkness, flying up to around 60 miles per hour on a regular mission, to 100 miles per hour in an emergency. Bat! Reader has an amazing sense of smell, and uses echolocation to help track targets and squad members alike, and being able to accurately differentiate who's who. But that sense of smell comes at a cost. Bat! Reader has issues with strong odors, causing the guys to get better ventilation installed in the barracks.

Bat! Reader, who likes to sleep upside down at times, so Price installs a pull up bar in their room, with a soft cushion on the ground underneath it, just in case they were to fall. They tend to get anxious alone when they're trying to fall asleep alone, so typically the guys will sit in there with them until they fall asleep, unintentionally starting a bunch of break times that forces the guys to slow down and breathe.

I ran out of ideas, it's almost 6 am and I have a migraine, I'll post more when my brain doesn't feel like mush.

Give me more Hybrid suggestions, or tell me if you want to see more Snake! Lioness! Or Bat! Readers again.

Bye!

Amnesia

Just have an idea and I want to throw some of what I've already gotten done out here. No idea how long it'll take between additions from me, but anyone who wants to add or continue to what I already have, feel free.

Basic Summary: Tim Drake finds Jason Todd after he crawls out of his own grave but before the League of Assassins and decides to take Jason home to Drake Manor. (Title may change)

~~~

Prologue

Tim never thought he would ever actually be scared of Batman. But as he looked down on the alley below, Tim was terrified.

Batman was in a rage and he had been ever since he had come back from Ethiopia three weeks ago. Ever since he had come back alone.

It wasn't very hard for Tim to realize that Robin was dead. His Robin was gone. 

Tim pushed down the realization and bile it brought up as he dialed for emergency services. The criminal being beaten into the pavement below had only robbed a Walmart when he’d been discovered by Batman. Now he would be leaving in an ambulance. Tim only hoped that the sirens would be enough warning for Batman to get away.

Even as he waited, watching in horror, Tim began to think about how to save him. Bruce was a good man, damn it, and he was too lost in his own grief to realize how dangerous he had become. Batman needed a Robin. So Tim would find a Robin for him.

The ambulance arrived and Batman heard it just soon enough to disappear onto the gloomy fire escape above the alley. His form was nothing but a darker patch of shadow, but Tim had been following Gotham’s protectors long enough to recognize the tension in his gaze, the shaking of his shoulders. Batman was crying. 

His Hero… 

And then he was gone. 

Tim needed to get to work.

Mrs. Bennet: Is it Canon?

Mrs. Bennet is named Fanny

Fanon (I’m using this term to cover adaptations and JAFF), not canon. This one actually REALLY annoys me. Jane Austen almost always named first born daughters after their mother in cases where we know the mother’s name (Lady Maria Bertram - Maria Bertram, Mrs. Jane Fairfax - Jane Fairfax, Mrs. Frances Price - Fanny Price, Lady Catherine de Courcy - Catherine Vernon - Catherine Vernon Jr.). There are a few exceptions, like Lady Catherine - Anne de Bourgh, but that is probably because Lady C wanted Anne to marry Darcy, whose mother’s name is Anne.

With five daughters, Mrs. Bennet’s personality, and Jane Austen’s naming conventions, I find it nigh impossible that she has not named a single daughter after herself. Mrs. Bennet’s most likely name is Jane, followed by Elizabeth. 

Mrs. Bennet is old

Fanon, not canon. We are told that Mrs. Bennet was youthful and beautiful when she married. She has now been married for about 23 years, which probably makes her about 40. I honestly think the adaptations do her a disservice. My dream would have been a 40-year-old Kate Beckinsale. She did a perfect Lady Susan in Love and Friendship.

Mrs. Bennet hates her daughter Elizabeth

It’s complicated. While it is canon that Elizabeth is Mrs. Bennet’s least favourite daughter, however we never see her display any positive cruelty towards her. While saying that Elizabeth isn’t as pretty as Jane may seem mean to us now, people talk pretty frankly about physical appearance in Jane Austen’s novels. Mrs. Bennet is mostly talking about their relative marriageability. I think the idea is that Mrs. Bennet cannot understand Lizzy’s merits, and therefore she rates her low in prospects. However, Mrs. Bennet is indignant when Mr. Darcy insults Lizzy and defends her from the slight (in very foolish ways).

Mrs. Bennet is shrill/shrieks

Fanon, not canon. What Mrs. Bennet’s voice actually sounds like is entirely unknown. The point is that what she says is annoying/vulgar, not that she shrieks. Also, it’s sexist, frankly.

Like we need to sit down and think about the fact that instead of presenting Mrs. Bennet for what she is: someone who imprudently tries to game the marriage system and is hurting her daughter’s chances by not following the social rules of the gentry (mostly because she was raised lower class), 1995 P&P reduced Mrs. Bennet to shrill: “Ha ha, the stupid woman is annoying too!” 

Great.

Just what we needed to perpetuate the cultural problem of women not being listened to by men because it hurts their precious ears. No matter how you feel about her, it is galling that Margaret Thatcher lowered her voice by half an octave to be taken more seriously. One doesn’t have to have a low, masculine voice to be intelligent. I am a soprano and I actually express cohesive thoughts (I believe). Maybe it’s good ya’ll can’t hear my speaking voice...

Anyway, for all we know, Mrs. Bennet’s voice is a sexy alto. Also, if she sounded like that I really doubt Mr. Bennet would have married her. Nails on a chalkboard.

Half of JAFF’s start with some line like, “Mrs. Bennet’s shrill voice” or “Elizabeth heard shrieks” and I really feel like it needs to stop.

I'm always entertained by people doing those "canon VS fanon" memes where both are misunderstanding characters to such a violent degree 'cause like

Canon/Headcanon likelihood chart

So I've been thinking about @macdenlover 's "levels of headcanon" chart (about how heavily a HC is influenced by canon), so I decided to make my own scale about how likely a HC is to be true (including different levels of canon) using queer cartoon characters as examples :)

I just spent an hour making this because I was bored. Enjoy. Image description under the cut.

Inspiration:

ID courtesy of @hatreds-og-imagedescriptions (thank you!!)

[ID: a chart going from 10 to 1, with explanations of the ratings on the left and images of characters with queer flags and descriptions of said characters on the right.

10: "Explicit canon. Clearly stated in the original media." Trans Barney from Dead end Paranormal Park. "Barney says "I'm transgender"".

9: "Implicit canon. Never explicitly stated, but 100% canon in the original media". Nonbinary Raine from The Owl House. "Raine never says "I'm nonbinary," but uses they/them and is never referred to as a man/woman (also, confirmed by Dana)".

8: "Creator confirmation. Never stated in the original media, but confirmed canon by the media's creator". Aroace Lilith from The Owl House. "While never mentioned/implied in TOH, Dana has confirmed that Lilith is aroace".

7: "Heavily implied. Never confirmed, but likely true (either by canon evidence or creator implication)". Genderfluid Nimona from Nimona. ""Aaand now you're a boy" "I am today" (anyway, the whole movie has trans/GNC themes)".

6: "Possibly implied. Hinted at in the original media, but could be explained as something else". Trans Doofenschmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. "Doof COULD be transmasc, or the whole "raised as a girl" thing could just be for the bit".

5: "Fanon. Never confirmed, but generally accepted by the fandom". Aromantic Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. "While only confirmed to be ace, most of the fandom also sees Alastor as aromantic".

4: "HC with evidence. Headcanons supported by a dedicated fan's detective work". Bisexual Mabel from Gravity Falls. "People have noticed bi flag stickers hidden on Mabel's scrapbooks".

3: "Canon neutrality. Could be true, could be false, but overall makes sense and doesn't contradict the original media". Genderqueer Pleakley from Lilo and Stitch. "Maybe Pleakley is genderqueer, maybe he just wanted to crossdress for the mission, who knows? That's why it's a headcanon."

2: "I made it the fuck up. Based on vibes, has absolutely nothing to do with canon". Bisexual Megamind from Megamind. "No evidence, no explanation, he just has Disaster Bi™ vibes".

1: "Um? No? But go off. Directly contradicts canon (but who cares, that's why it's fun)". Trans Stanley Pines from Gravity Falls. "Even though flashback scenes prove Stan is AMAB, some people HC him as transmasc." End of ID.]

Thinking about that series on TikTok where canon batfamily characters meet their fanon counterparts and I think all canon characters would have a sort of disdain to borderline hate for their fanon versions EXCEPT BRUCE. Canon Bruce would be seething with jealousy

Canon Bruce: so you’re saying… most of them live with you. In Wayne manor. And it’s not burned down every week.

Fanon Bruce: yup! All of them except Jason, he and I don’t get along very well you see… he’s always angry with me so the weekly family dinners are always tense ://

Canon Bruce, through gritted teeth: you see him regularly? Must be nice.

Fanon Bruce: it is! The kids can get a bit rambunctious at times but thankfully their older brother Dick is always there being the good responsible mentally stable older brother he is so there’s not much damage except the broken vase or two

Canon Bruce, glaring daggers: is that so.

Fanon Bruce: there’s also Tim, he can’t get enough of his coffee, sometimes I have to replace it with decaf just to get him to sleep!

Canon Bruce, who has found Tim napping in places he didn’t think was humanely possible to sleep in: hnn

[ditzybat]

Fanon Tim, a mysterious super smart hacker bro on the same level of Oracle, who’s also unhinged, caffeine dependent, morally grey, negative rizz, lowkey has the highest body count of all the bats, and is a badass: and I will watch the crimson blood, leak from you neck

Canon Tim, loser skater boy who plays DnD in his spare time, nap addicted, pulls hella bitches, strict moral code with the bad habit of seeing only black and white, and is also a major badass: woah, that kid is hardcore goth

*Markiplier voice* WAS THAT THE BITE OF 87!?!?!?

Dunno wanted to draw how Michael + his friends/the bullies reacted after the chomp.

what a day that must've been for those kids

Very stupid meme I did instead of studying for my finals

[violent138]

Bruce definitely trained all the Robins to abandon him if things got bad. He'd give them scenarios like him trapped under something in a fire, hypothermic conditions, he's too injured, and they need to get information to Lucius, and the list goes on. And to date, the only bit of training his kids have continually failed, whether in simulation or practice, is failing to leave him behind.

guess who just finished their taz balance relisten

This is more of a fanon Jason head canon but what if as an adult Jason found himself picking up various mindfulness hobbies and therefore has acquired lots of skills that contrast his character such as baking, knitting and/or crochet, gardening, film photography, birdwatching, ect. None of them ever really stuck around, but every so often he suprises people with the fact that he engaged in those hobbies. Here are some scenarios I envision happening:

- Damian has to bring something for a bake sale the next day and he doesn't want to ask Alfred because it's almost midnight and Jason is like "no worries I got you" and manages to make some pretty decent eclairs.

- Jason is wearing a sweater and Dick compliments it and Jason responds with "Thanks I made it" and Dick is confused because Jason can knit?

- He brings Alfred a jar of preserves and Alfred is like "???????" and Jason informs him that he grew strawberries in his balcony garden and thought Alfred would like some.
