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??

Batfam AU where after Jason's adoption and him becoming Robin, he and Dick just don't get along At All. They basically can't even be in the same room.

Tim notices this because of his stalking and just can't let it go. Nightwing and Robin are his heroes, his idols, they can't fight! Reality doesn't fit with his imagined idealistic version of the Waynes who are a perfect happy family.

So naturally Tim decides it is his duty to do something about it. So he creates a series of elaborate plans to force Dick and Jason to interact and work together in hopes it will fix their brotherly relationship.

This does eventually work but Tim accidentally becomes Gotham's newest rogue in the process. Whoops.

Bruce: *spits out coffee*

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

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!)

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.

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.

[magicpiano]

One thing that I think most 'Tim joins the batfam early' fics miss is that Tim, a very intelligent and independent child who has been doing a dangerous hobby for years, would hate being adopted actually. All the new rules meant to keep him safe? At best annoying, at worst he feels like he is in prison.

To Tim, he just lost his freedom, privacy, and independence, no matter how good the batfam is in reality.

"I need to tell you when I am leaving the house, where I am going and how long I will be gone? The bare minimum parents typically ask from their middle school aged children? No."

Normal good responsible parenting would be torture for Tim.

BEWARE THE GREMLINS

Jason had a friend. Now, there was nothing wrong with having friends.

Hell, Dick was the first to say that his little brother needed to come out of his shell and make some friends.

Even Bruce had friends, somehow.

Why not Jason?

The problem with Jason's friend, Tim Drake, their neighbor, was that he was as much of a gremlin as Jason himself.

A gremlin who was too smart and easily bored, which combined with Jason's intolerance to the galas he had to go to as Bruce Wayne's son, became a deadly mix. 

And it led to the following situation: the Derricks' son had been taken away for inappropriate behavior, and most of his friends were drunk. 

It didn't take a genius to figure out who did it, especially considering that Patrick Derrick was an asshole brat and liked to remind Jason that he was a charity case who will be replaced as soon as he gets too old (and Christ, the first time Dick had heard it, he had to stop himself from punching a thirteen-year-old in the face. The implications on Bruce, God, made him angry.) and Jason was very inclined to take his little revenges.

He ran a hand through his hair, “You two. Explain.”

“I was minding my own business,” Jason began. “Then Patrick came up to me and he told me that since I'm going to be thirteen soon, I won't be a new model anymore. “

Dick thinned his lips, “It's not the first time he's said that. Why did he end up making a fool of himself in front of everyone this time?

“Well, I'm used to insults by now, and I know how to control myself. But Tim intervened to tell him to stop, and Patrick..."

“Patrick said to shut up and that I'm a son of a bitch, that everyone knows how my mother has so many important partners for our company,” it was Tim's turn to say, the frown on his face making it seem like younger than his nine years. 

Dick had heard the rumors about Janet Drake, but had never given it much thought. Especially since the rumors had her as Bruce's  lover, and the less he thought about his adoptive father's sex life, the better it was.
