Hello!
Got any headcanons about Bruce and Khoa's training years that hasn't been shown in the sacred texts (a.k.a. comics when they're good)?
Feel free to ramble, I look forward to reading everything you write <3
You’re gonna make me blush, seriously. Accept this humble offering 😳🌹:
They used to exchange clothes a lot (half homoeroticism, half they just didn't care that much), so usually, when they were on good terms and traveling together, none of them bothered to pay attention to whose clothes belonged to whom, they just took whatever they liked, bitched about any piece that wasn’t to their tastes and made sure everything was packed when they left.
That made their separations a lot more embarrassing ‘cause they could either just take the first bag they saw and leave dramatically (running the risk of ending up with no underwear and no pants ‘cause they were all in the other bag) or have to stop to rearrange and separate the clothes, and THEN leave dramatically.
Can’t decide which one of them would get angry enough to just leave all the clothes, take only the equipment (the only thing they maintained separately) and go away. Probably both. And probably at the same time, leaving the clothes to be taken by their landlord/last mentor
I think they were constantly working on some project to improve the technology and equipment they had. Most often than not they would be making a competition out of it, but when they wanted to, they could work really well together, and since they didn’t have anyone else, they were the only ones they could go to when they needed help or a second opinion on something
I like to think bruce helped khoa to develop the fabric he uses on his mask to see through it even when it covers both his eyes, just bc of the angst of khoa carrying this proof of what they could accomplish together everywhere he goes
They probably stopped at all those technology fairs and stumbled upon each other accidentally more than once even when they were actively avoiding each other just because they couldn’t help being such huge nerds
Once they were in Australia and encountered one of these fellas:
and this is how khoa knows bruce is afraid of bats. <- also probably one of his fondest memories, ‘cause bruce was having the worst time of his life and he was laughing his ass off
The first time they went out to test their abilities fighting crime, khoa was already using his signature mask, but bruce (who refused the spare one khoa so magnanimously offered him) just made them stop at a random store and bought a zorro halloween mask ‘cause a) he couldn’t be bothered, b) he has a morbid sense of humor and c) he knew khoa would get pissed (on top of making fun of his name, I bet bruce also made fun of him insisting on covering his eyes with the mask for no good reason other than to look cooler).
Even when they were feeling an achillean rage towards each other, standing side by side or back to back in a room full of other people brought a sense of calmness and security to both of them, ‘cause they knew that if anything went bad in whatever situation they were in, they would be dealing with it together <3
#what me answering quickly to an ask??? unlikely but not impossible#thanks for the ask !#drac rambles#ghostbat#asks#batman#bruce wayne#ghostmaker#minhkhoa khan

HEY MY DUDES
Okay so we went down the Rabbithole with the Princess Bee AU and now I have a bunch of Nextgens I slapped together! Some may end up being yoinked over to HC/LL eventually but for now! Let's go down the list!
(Note: obvs I am limited in color pallet by the picrew so some colors are not accurate to the show so like. Take what their parents' colors are and roll with that)
Name: Dawn Mellifera
Gender and Sexuality: Female, Lesbian
Info: Chloé's daughter! Main character energy. Snarky as hell but genuinely kind.
Name: Louis Dupain-Cheng
Gender and Sexuality: Male, gay
Info: Oldest of the Adrienette kids. Got a lot of the high-energy and the occasional brain cells from his parents.
Name: Emma Dupain-Cheng
Gender and Sexuality: Female, Lesbian
Info: Charming and sweet middle child! Absolutely overthinks her romance options.
Name: Hugo Dupain-Cheng
Gender and Sexuality: Male, Aroace
Info: Baby of the family(by like a year and a half but still)! Somehow 100% done with everyone's romance nonsense. Soft and sweet, but boy has a TEMPER
Name: Blossom Lahiffe

Info: The older of the twins! A bit brighter and more cheery! Loves mystery novels and pranking people by switching with her sister
Name: Carmen Lahiffe
Gender and Sexuality: Demigirl(she/they), Pansexual
Info: The younger of the twins! Slightly more mature, but loves doing voicework. And also pranking people with her twin.
Name: Asphodel Couffaine
Gender and Sexuality: Male, gay/ace
Info: A bit peppy but morbid as HELL. I love him so much actually.
Name: Erika Couffaine
Gender and Sexuality: Female, Pansexual
Info: Dresses punk, acts polite enough that everyone assumes it's for aesthetic purposes rather than genuine, absolutely punk rock.
Name: Lê Chiến Summer

Gender and Sexuality: Female, Straight
Info: Absolute mom friend. Somehow the most stable of these idiots.
Name: Westley Keynes (Wambli)

Noah is a 25 years old human, they are 183 cm tall, go by he/ they and is currently thinking about themselves as achillean, but he is pretty unsure.
Noah is very much chaotic and a bit of a loose canon. They have an affinity for fire and burning things, which has rendered him a nuisance for many shelters, only shelter 1647 recognised their usefulness when it comes to dealing with beasts and attackers through their guns. He prides himself in their skills a lot because they feel empowered and accepted in the shelter they now call home. Beside their gunning skills, Noah is a big jokester and loves to alleviate grim situations with his humor and jest. He is also very much someone you can trust with your secrets, they will take it with them to their grave. He has a very strained relationship with Horatio, they are somewhat feuding.
Noah grew up in a town right next to the Rhine Falls in Switzerland. But their village got destroyed by the beasts and his family was killed, so he ran away. As they wandered, they came long many abandoned places and cities. In one of these, Noah found his first gun and was finally able to defend themselves. It took them quite some time until they came near the city dome, and when he arrived there, he met Khuki and Konton, an nephilim and a cambion. The two of them brought him to the lab, where they lived for some months until they found their home in shelter 1647. Noah quickly became the best weapon against beasts.
Noah is part of the expedition team. He has a very big interest in clocks, watches and pocket watches. They are a child of the internet, plus being one of few members with a working phone.

“Ryn, Assistant Librarian of Natural Sciences. Reporting for Duty.”
—He/Him
—Achillean (mlm)
—Certified Pretty Boy
—“Two Toned Heart”
—Stoic and serious…most of the time, but secretly a hopeless romantic…fucking loser. Also, he’s overly formal. Should add that too
—Admin’s main goal: get him bitches (SUCCESS!)
—(———)—(———)—
Edit: I feel I should elaborate on my “No NSFW” rule. By “No NSFW”, I mean no NSFW RP or attempts to do NSFW RP. I am 100% fine with suggestive or even bluntly sexual jokes, as well as sexual references or implications. Hell, that’s like…60% of my humor. Just no blunt attempts to do an NSFW RP and no jokes of anything REALLY BAD (ex: r/pe, ab/se (especially due to Ryn’s backstory and history with ab/se, I don’t wanna put him through that man), actual hate crimes, etc), and we’ll be all good! (I had to address this bc I realized it was incredibly unclear if I was allowing jokes)
Edit 2: Also, something I must note. Ryn is terrified of unexpected physical touch, I have subtly showcased this in an interaction, but I feel like it should be pointed out.

Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary Romance, Achillean
Rating: 4 out of 5
Content Warning: Sexual content, Homophobia, Outing, Death of parent, Sexual assault, Drug abuse, Racism
Summary:
A big-hearted romantic comedy in which the First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales after an incident of international proportions forces them to pretend to be best friends... First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this side of the Atlantic. With his intrepid sister and the Veep’s genius granddaughter, they’re the White House Trio, a beautiful millennial marketing strategy for his mother, President Ellen Claremont. International socialite duties do have downsides—namely, when photos of a confrontation with his longtime nemesis Prince Henry at a royal wedding leak to the tabloids and threaten American/British relations. The plan for damage control: staging a fake friendship between the First Son and the Prince. Alex is busy enough handling his mother’s bloodthirsty opponents and his own political ambitions without an uptight royal slowing him down. But beneath Henry’s Prince Charming veneer, there’s a soft-hearted eccentric with a dry sense of humor and more than one ghost haunting him. As President Claremont kicks off her reelection bid, Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret relationship with Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations. And Henry throws everything into question for Alex, an impulsive, charming guy who thought he knew everything: What is worth the sacrifice? How do you do all the good you can do? And, most importantly, how will history remember you?
*Opinions*
You couldn’t breathe without hearing about this novel back when it was released in 2019. It was all the rage and won the best romance and best debut novel in the 2019 Goodreads Choice awards. At the time, I really didn’t have any interest in reading it. I didn’t consider myself a romance reader and nothing about it really pulled me in. However, after hearing all the hype and seeing that there is an adaption coming out soon, I decided to get it out of the library and give it a chance. I was pleasantly surprised.
Red, White, and Royal Blue follows Alex, the first son of the united states, as he navigates his complicated hate-to-friends-to-lovers relationship with the younger Prince of England, Henry. This relationship is complicated by both men’s political standing, the fact that neither of them is out, and that it is the election year for Alex’s mom to secure a second term in the White House. I am not going to talk about Alex’s journey of realizing that he is bisexual or anything else related to his and Henry’s sexuality because as a straight woman, I don’t have anything to add to that conversation. I will say that nothing happened that stood out to me as super offensive, but again, straight woman.
I did see some reviews stating that Alex was annoying and obnoxious, which hindered their enjoyment of the novel. While I agree at times that Alex is annoying and obnoxious, for me these traits made him more well-rounded than unbearable. Alex even admits that he is loud and can’t stop talking and just a lot and I think that is characterized well in the novel. As someone with anxiety, Alex always has to be working to push down his overbearing emotions is very relatable. While I think he swore a little too much, it took me out of the story sometimes, I cared about him and what happened to him and his friends. Henry was a bit harder to connect with, but that’s just because the point of view is close to Alex. He is still a likable character, but I felt as if Alex told me more about Henry than I saw in the narrative. The side characters of Nora and June felt well-rounded, but some of the others felt more like stereotypes of characters than real people. Nothing super egregious, but something I noticed.
The biggest detractor, and what most people point to in their criticisms, is the black-and-white view of politics in the United States. Alex’s mom is a Democratic woman from Texas that not only wins the presidency once, but twice. Her opponent in the 2020 election is an obvious stand-in for Trump and while the amount of horrible things he had been alleged to do makes Richards look like a choir boy, in the story Richards seemed like an over-the-top villain. I can’t get into any more detail without spoilers, but I think a horrible thing too much was added to make him believable. Again, we know enough about some politicians now that perhaps it just feels ridiculous to see it on paper. However, Alex’s mom and his family are depicted as honest and upright and always doing the right thing. It’s a great fantasy, but I cannot believe that any politician makes it so that we know their name without skeletons in their closet. That’s just how politics in the U.S. work. McQuiston stated that this story was part of her detail with the administration in power from 2016-2020, but at some points, the obvious fantasy of the politics pulled me out of the story.
I also had issues with the number of times that the novel touched on very important topics, imperialism being a huge one, and then never really addressed. I wish they weren’t mentioned at all, or really addressed. This light touching on and then pulling away took me out of the story.
The spicy scenes and romance hit the feelings they were supposed to it. There is a good deal of tenderness in this novel along with the desperate make-out sessions and risky blow-jobs. As a romance novel, I don’t have any complaints, but the politics of the novel and some of the lack of secondary characters take a star off my rating. I don’t think I’ll buy this novel for my shelves, but a 4 out of 5 reads.
