Paying a Price.

I want more Dad!Tim stuff. (And once again a deaged Danny and Ellie idea)

So let's go do that.

So you know those DPxDC AUs where Tim makes a deal with either Clockwork or Danny to carry Ellie? Or Tim is a reborn Danny whose carrying Ellie instead (love these btw) in order to get Bruce out of the time stream.

Well what about instead of just Ellie, it's both her and Danny.

Danny and Ellie who were badly hurt by the GIW that they both had to revert into their cores. They are saved by their friends/family and are taken to Frostbite. There they are monitored and looked after only until they can finally the reform but they run into a problem. The two can't return to their home dimension due to the GIW activity and they cant stay to long in the Infinite Realms cause they are still halfas. Then one day CW appears to speak with Frostbite over something important about the two.

Meanwhile in the DCverse.

Tim might have figured a way to save Bruce from the timestream. A being known as Clockwork might be able to help him if he manages to summon the powerful 'Ancient'.

However he knows summoning and requesting it's help he will have to pay a price.

If it means getting Bruce back he'll do it...

Vigilante! Fem(?) Reader x Yan! Batfam

this was written for pride month but got lost in the backburner like reader does in this fic LOL enjoy.

Hear me out.

The air in the Batcave was unusually charged tonight — something thick in the atmosphere beneath the sterile hum of computers and the occasional rustle of papers. The debrief had dragged on for nearly an hour now, and you’d grown used to the quiet way they left you out of things lately. Small patrols. Surveillance duty. Backup at best.

“Our target is a woman,” Bruce said, voice low but firm, eyes glued to the holographic projection in front of him. “She has a . . . particular type.”

You barely reacted. Just kept your eyes on the mission board, trying not to flinch. You knew that tone. It was his version of easing you in. Something was coming.

“[E/C](s) eyes, [S/C] skin, [Insert personality here].” Tim read out. Face growing more amused by the second. “Isn’t that just . . .?”

“[Y/N].” Bruce spoke your name sternly. But you know it’s his version of being gentle.

“Yes? Am I — going on a mission?” You gripped the seat you’re on tightly. Sat up a little straighter.

You hadn’t been included in the thick of the action in months. Not since that one hostage incident where you got grazed and they all collectively lost their minds over your “recklessness”. You’d been suffocated with soft assignments since. Night watch. Equipment checks. Quiet rooftops. You were sick of it.

Across the room, Dick leaned back with a lazy smile. “Hang on. Isn’t the target . . . straight?” He interrupted.

That was all the excuse Jason needed to lean in and smirk. “Sorry, sweetheart. You’re on back-up again.” He added.

You shot both of them a deadly glare. You knew damn well neither of them were sorry. They loved this: swaddling you in bubble wrap under the guise of concern. Tucking you away where their pretty little bird wouldn’t get bruised.

“Wait that’s it? Just cause she’s straight, I’m getting benched? Bruce! Tell them!” You protested. Mad at how easy it was for them to put you on a shelf like fine china even though you’ve had years of experience under your belt at that point.

Bruce didn’t look at you right away.

He only sighed, dragging a hand across his mouth — a habit he had when he was caught between his instincts and his logic. Protective to a fault, yes. But he was also the one who trained you. The one who knew your capabilities down to the muscle.

“Go ahead.”

“What— Father that is—“ Behind him, the table rattled as Damian slammed his palm down against it, eyes ablaze.

Bruce silenced him with one look and then nods to you.

A light envelopes your body.

There, standing in front of them, was still you — same eyes, same presence — but cloaked in a more “traditionally” masculine build. Strong, sleek, defined.

And to the boys?

Hot asf.

Dick blinked slowly almost falling off his seat. “Oh.” Then, very softly — “Oh no.”

He buried his face in his hands. A second passed.

Then his voice, muffled:

“I hate how hot that is.”

Jason coughed into his fist, averting his eyes a second too late. “…Goddamn.”

“If I start swingin’ both ways,” he muttered under his breath, “it’s gonna be your fault.” (As if he wasn’t already queer in the first place)

Tim’s jaw had actually gone slack. “That’s—wow. Okay.” Quickly snapping a photo of you to save in his endless amounts of folders.

Even Damian looked momentarily stunned. “Tt.” He looked away sharply, muttering something about illusion spells and how it was irrelevant.

You raised an eyebrow. “Well? Do I pass?”

Thinking about Black Widow Luo Binghe.

Hear me out -- so just like in canon, Shen Qingqiu self-destructs to save Luo Binghe, dies, and Luo Binghe steals his body to put on ice while he looks for methods to resurrect him. But unlike in canon, staving off decomposition is simply not that doable for a matter of years, even with cultivation and Luo Binghe pouring qi into the process. The qi costs are still high, so is Xin Mo, and now Binghe also needs a special artifact that can actually preserve Shen Qingqiu, but that runs on blood sacrifices.

To get the thing working, Luo Binghe feeds it a bunch of prisoners from the Water Prison. Then he starts kidnapping cultivators to drain for his own qi reserves, but that's difficult, controversial, and he can't use the same victims for the blood sacrifice afterwards. Frankly, between one thing and another it would be easier to satisfy Xin Mo with dual cultivation, and focus on finding victims for Shizun's Snow White style glass preservation coffin without having to choose between using targets for one or the other. Especially given that, if he finesses it, Luo Binghe can extend the use of his sacrifices and get more out of them with fewer deaths that way.

He's pretty sure that Shizun would want fewer deaths.

Of course, he is not a fan of the logistics of the plan itself, but he'd do worse things to one day be reunited. He consoles himself that he's building up bedroom experience for one day being with Shen Qingqiu, and that it doesn't really count because his heart's not really in it, and also if Shizun got to spend all that time in brothels then it's only fitting that Luo Binghe be his equal in this as well. It still doesn't make it pleasant for him, but it makes him able to tolerate the necessity of it.

So Luo Binghe ends up marrying a string of rich and powerful figures -- mostly the villainous single fathers and mothers and evil uncles of harem members from PIDW, rather than their daughters -- and coming up with creative ways of making all their deaths a few months into the process look like accidents. After the third one people are undeniably wary of marrying him, but there's always someone with a big enough ego to think they'll be an exception, or stupid enough to believe that it really has just been so much bad luck up to that point. It helps that the universe is predisposed to let him hit it.

When SY wakes up in the shroom body and hears about Luo Binghe's succession of marriages, he's not surprised. What he is surprised by is the bisexual graveyard of toxic dilfs and milfs that has replaced the harem.

What did he do to cause that?!

And what does Luo Binghe mean that he wants to marry his own shizun now? Is this his new method of revenge??? Binghe, you don't have to marry someone to kill them!

SORRY FOR PARTY ROCKIN!!!!

[ayushipop]

the violence in bottoms (2023) is so satisfying in a way i don't really know how to put into words. somewhere between the violence against women that movies sometimes shy away from too much but also Lean Into a little too much (spectrum of either not depicting realistic violence/harassment due to discomfort with it or the "you can't hit her she's a girl!" concept vs gratuitous sensationalized violence). like it's that "boys will be boys" kind of roughhousing that girls are excluded from if the narrative frames them as too delicate / feminine / untouchable. and i see them beating the shit out of each other and it feels Good. they're not untouchable dolls nor are they objects to project malice and gratuitous violence onto! it's not even fully about the empowerment or seeing girls be able to fight back (which does feel amazing in its own right and the movie does a great job of delivering it) like even seeing like, idk black widow beat up a bunch of guys in a marvel movie doesn't feel the same as how bottoms does it. it feels unpolished and grounded and realistic and satisfying. #girlswillbegirls

FINALLY POSTING THIS STUPID YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he's an imp who got fused with a subspace tripmine and now basically works like one and harvests souls to eat them to feed himself he's an exploiter who mostly annoys people in classic games (his favourite one being SFOTH), playing casual at first but then pulling subspace mines and other nefarious tricks at people

[dallaswinstons]

'well if only pony followed darry's conflicting-helicopter parent instructions, then he would be safe from violence that the book has already illustrated as senseless' — some of yall start to sound like ronald reagan with these darry defense posts 😭 i just don't think the "crime" of being 14 and deserving a degree of personal freedom or autonomy is a bad or irresponsible thing for a teen to have actually!!
