Has dick really lost that many people? To make a whole ass list?

Well, let's see... (keep in mind I haven't read lots of comics so there could definitely be more than what I'm about to mention)

- His parents.

- A few (Teen) Titans members like Donna Troy (brought back to life), Wally West (more than once if I'm not wrong, but it'll depend which era you're reading) and Jericho (aka. Joseph Wilson). And there could definitely be more but I couldn't say for sure.

- Jason Todd.

- The people who lived in the same building as him who he was friends with, that's around 20 people?

- Haly's Circus was burnt down twice and I know one of those times at least another 20 people died and 100 were severely injured (remember many of the members in the circus were like family to him).

- Do we count the city? Because even though he wasn't close with every single person, Dick genuinely cares for the people of Bludhaven and Deathstroke killed over 100,000 citizens.

- Bruce Wayne (he was technically dead, even if in reality he was lost in time).

- Damian Wayne.

- Alfred Pennyworth.

- Tim Drake has died at least once but I don't know if it's happened in the main continuity or if his death has only happened in an alternative universe.

And I have a feeling there's a bunch of people I'm forgetting, but these are the ones I can mention off the top of my head. Not counting the Bludhaven Citizens, that's around 50 people or so.

If anyone can add more to the list, that'd be great.

BONUS:

[dbcoatl-art]

Couple more Alchemist! Noise doodles for ya, since you liked the first bit of sketches.

I also made Peppino an adventurer of sorts, and one particular quest he gets has him teaming up with the Noise of something. Maybe they're on the hunt for an outlaw or something, I dunno.

Noisette is also an alchemist, but she specializes in healing potions (Noise can also make healing Noise potions, but most of the time he prefers making ones that blow up in your face).

Grey Skies

[Prev]

A door creaks.

Rachel turns on the light to dimly illuminate a dusty room filled with unused furniture and trinkets. All the holiday decorations, the unneeded dresser, the boxes full of miscellaneous items that were only used once; they all reside here until a day comes when it's eventually remembered and brought back out momentarily.

She walked over to the end of the room, where a black case leaned against the wall, and pensively takes it with her as she leaves the room.

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

Rachel opens the case.

It's the violin. The violin that she received on her birthday in celebration of all of her achievements as a musician.

No one is in the house at this time.

The skies are layered thick with grey clouds, and the room echos with only the sounds of Rachel's footsteps tapping on the hard floor. Rachel breathes shakily as she sets up the sheet music on a stand, steeling herself to play.

She puts the bow up to the violin and begins playing.

It was just simple warm ups. Playing an instrument often require intricate and precise movements; similar to how athletes must warm up to prime their body before they start, playing music is just the same.

Feeling a little more confident, she decided to play an old piece she knew by memory. It wasn't a difficult piece, and it was one she mastered a long time ago. Whenever people asked her to play something upon learning she was a violinist, this would often be her go-to to showcase.

The clouds outside flashes briefly with lightning, but no audible thunder accompanies it.

As she played the final note, Rachel took a moment to pause. She turned her attention to her music stand, which held the sheets for the piece she was meant to play at the concert years ago. The last concert she was meant to be a part of before her hiatus. She assumes her position, determined to get through this piece, and starts playing.

She's off-tempo. She's playing too quickly and she knows it. When she comes across a long pause in the piece, she stops. Taking a deep breath, she decides to try it again from the start.

She starts playing again, slower this time. Although it felt more accurate, she finds herself becoming irritated. Her fingers felt stiff and heavy, as though they were rebelling against her. Parts that used to be fun to play and flowed easily now sounded almost stilted and forced. Halfway though the piece, she trails off and stops, unsatisfied.

She used to be able to do this. She used to play better than this. This isn't even a difficult piece. She used to like playing this.

She flipped back to the first page of the piece and started over.

She played the wrong note, so she'd start over. Her timing was off, so she'd start over. She didn't transition smoothly, so she'd start over. And over. And over. And over.

She never finished the entire piece each time. Halfway through, something would always go wrong. Something would just never be good enough. And each time it happened, her brow would furrow deeper, her frustration boiling, becoming more and more visible, until-

*CRASH!*

The music sheets are scattered everywhere. Her stand lays on the ground, toppled over. And Rachel stood, bitter and defeated.

This wasn't the first time Rachel has tried to play again, and it wasn't going to be the last, but it's always ended the same way. Every time, it's always ended in disappointment.

A streak of lightning flashed across the window and the sky rumbled threateningly, startling Rachel. Sensing a thunderstorm approaching, she scrambled frantically to re-collect all the sheets and put everything away.

She finds herself in the dusty room once more.

The light flickers as the storm threatens a power outage within the house. Feeling uneasy, she walks quickly over to the wall and places the violin case back where she originally found it. She looks back at it one last time as she exits the room and closes the door briskly as she hears another crackle outside.

Maybe one day, she'll be able to find joy in playing it again. But today was not that day.

Paleolithic Media Catalogue

Hello everyone :) Short story first: When I began brainstorming for my prehistoric story, I started wondering what other prehistoric fiction there is out there. I was not familiar with it and have not seen much. That's when I started my grand literature review and began a search for what fiction exist out there. I wanted to know what kinds of stories are being made with this time period. What are the common themes or recurring ideas (I found lots of humans and dinosaurs works. And time travel). Since I've had a growing collection on my computer, I decided I should keep on enlarging it and put it online. It's nowhere near complete. I'll slowly keep accumulating the collection as I find more. I only have fiction books and comics right now. I still need to work on the film section.

You can access the blog here!

As for where I am in my reading, the one's I've finished reading are Earth's Children series (book 1-4. Dropped it afterwards lol. I made a post on with fanart) Dance of the Tiger and it's sequel Singletusk (They were good! I'll upload my review on the blog), and Sisters of the Wolf (It was ok!). I got my hands on The Inheritors and excited to start reading it. I REALLY want to read the Shiva trilogy, but I found no PDF online... and it's out of print :( There is certainly old copies on ebay. And I want to read Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. There seem to be lots of good books out there.
