Danny having immediate beef with bruce because “i know a thing or two about child endangerment and letting preteens out on the streets of a notoriously dangerous city in colorful costumes to fight criminals without any sort of superpowered advantage certainly is it”

[cod-dump]

Preteen!Ghost: Where the hell is Dad? I haven’t seen him all day!

Nik: Sorry, I got hungry

Preteen!Ghost: … what?

Nik: I’ll get you a new one *leaves the room*

Preteen!Ghost: NIK?!

(Ten minutes later)

Preteen!Ghost: I THINK NIK ATE DAD

Preteen!Gaz: *looks up from his book*

Preteen!Gaz: What-?

Preteen!Ghost, crying: HE ATE HIM

(Three hours later)

Price, walking through the front door: I’m home-

Preteen!Ghost & Preteen!Gaz: *run through the house and tackle him in a hug while crying*

Price holding them: Whoa- what’s wrong?!

Nik, cautiously from the hall: I’m so sorry

Price as the boys start screaming: WHAT DID YOU DO??

Okay so I've been thinking about @nonbinarylocalcryptid Astyanax lived/daddy odysseus au. Which is some good shit in general. Yall should check it out. But specifically I'm think about what it would be like for this child to grow up on calypso's island. He would have been what ? 3-10 there??

Hey! Are you ok with people tagging you in fanart they do/making fanart of your rewrite? Your Crookedstar rewrite has me in SHAMBLES and I need to make fanart for it like. Right now

I'm more than ok with it! I try to collect it as I get it over here on this post, which is also linked on my pinned. You should also check out the TVTropes page that @halogenwarrior maintains, I look at it myself time to time because she updates it pretty frequently and I like learning about tropes that way lmao

You can also feel free to ping me as you please on whatever thing you're making that I inspired! That thing on my pinned post asking people to not ping me on OTHER people's posts refers to people going to the personal works of others and making comparisons, asking me questions about my au in other people's replies, etc. Stuff that wasn't considerate to the OP.

All of BB's concepts are free to use and change as you'd like! Credit's not necessary, but I do like seeing what people are up to.

I only ask that you do not steal drawn art to pass off as your own, as I have collaborators you need to be respectful of, and would also personally like to consider doing commissions or adopts at some point. I don't want any mishaps about people thinking those would be free to use.

ALSO BONUS APPLEKIN MARKING SYMBOLISM:

I stopped writing the draft where I did because I had written a lot and had wanted to share at that point, but with the new update on BB!Oakheart being BB!Crookedstar's adopted brother I've already accounted for the apple-leaf-shaped markings that are on his eyes.

("Applekin" cats come with these very subtle eye markings that aren't particularly noticed in-universe, as an artsy visual sign of them all being part of a family. They're going to show up on everyone from BB!Appledusk all the way down to BB!Frostpaw.

You can see them okish on this chibi I did of Silverstream, but unfortunately last time I drew Oakheart he was dadly weaning sunglasses so they're not visible. Here is a picture of the crabapple leaf it's supposed to look like)

They begin to develop the moment that Crookedstar betrays Mapleshade. Slowly, subtly, over the course of moons. So slowly that no one seems to notice it except Crookedstar.

At first, he thinks he's just crazy. Worrying too much, seeing things that aren't there. But his brother's previously creamy eyerims start to sharpen. At the back corner, a streak lines the lashes back. The smooth edges of the color spike, as if needle-sharp trout teeth are carefully being planted, one prickle, one week at a time.

No one else seems to notice it but him. But he gets the message. Mapleshade "gave" him this family-- and she wants him to know she's going to take it away, too.

So please, feel free to do with that as you will~

I feel like writers, official and fan writers alike, forget how young Jason is, but also that it makes sense that Jason as a character would carry himself as older than he is. When you do the math utrh Jason is like high school senior/college freshman years old doing mob boss shit. Like my brother in christ put that duffle bag down and go get your GED. Barely even old enough to be in the club he needs to take his ass to the homecoming game

I love researching for a fic

I needed to know details of Kon-El first popping out of his test tube and deciding “Yup, it’s superhero time baby”

And I also really like Captain Marvel, in fact I was researching for a fic involving the both of them as found family

So imagine my absolute delight when I find out it was a bunch of newsboys who helped break Kon out before he was done incubating and had his mind control code put in his head. Y’know, the same kind of kids Billy would be around as a newsboy/jr reporter in his older canons I like to pull from

And then I see this

And my mind clicks and thinks “That kid looks like Billy.”

And this the thought comes in of “What if this was Billy and he and Kon met before his whole superstardom thing?” To which I lumped it in with my “Billy adopts Conner (in some way shape or form)” thoughts, and now I have my Marvelous!Kon AU

Aka, Superboy meets Billy and is integrated into his found family before the world even gets the chance to know there is a Superboy. Then, when he does enter the main stage, he’s Marvelous, one of Captain Marvel’s partners in crime fighting alongside CM3 and Mary Marvel.

Leo, what has been your favorite “to-the-death” activity thus far? I feel there has to be a workshop-to-the-death somewhere in that hotel.

LEO: I think maybe Magnus was right about talking about the past… I’m not sure I’m ready to do that yet, but thinking about it and doing things that remind me of my old life, it feels like progress. prev ask (also about activities!)

Bruce gets the kids early AUs really do be looking like this

(Ignore the fact that this is literally from a parenting fails snapchat story)

RiAAU Sasha's complicated relationship with her adoptive parents, Percy and Braddock, stems from an awkward mixture of unconditional love, resentment over their inability to protect her from Grime in her childhood, and their fear of what she's become.

It was practically impossible to hide anything from Alfred. A life spent with the British Secret Service gave you some ability to find out things, and not put up with other people's nonsense.

Bruce had even tried to hide his plan to become Batman from him, trying to sneak into the cave when the butler was busy or sleeping, only to get the surprise of his life when one night he found Alfred in the cave, in front of the computer, a raised eyebrow and only one thing to say.

“Obviously no one checked those broken ribs on you. Let me do it. You also have a stab wound that we need to take care of.”

So, the butler found young master Dick's attempts to hide the fact that he had a secret guest in his room almost sweet. 

However, the game was good when it didn't last long, and after a morning spent cleaning up the results of the young master's games, Alfred thought it was the moment to put an end to It.

“Your friend doesn't want to join us?” he asked, while Dick froze like a deer caught in the headlights.

"Friend? What friend?” the kid asked him, feigning ignorance, without any hesitation. He was learning Master Bruce's lessons well.

Alfred raised an eyebrow, “Well, if you don't have a friend visiting, why are there two bowls of ice cream on the table?”

Dick widened his eyes, probably calling himself stupid for such forgetfulness. It wasn't his fault, after all he was only ten and likely ADHD. 

Alfred waited patiently for the answer. Which came with a nervous laugh, “Oh, well, you know. I've got a sugar addiction.”

“Mhm…so that's why you had double breakfast today?” 

“I'm a growing boy. Furthermore, I work at night..."
