I am so amazing

[casuallytalkingtothevoid]

Thinking a very normal amount about Tim being joker junior.

Thinking about Jason dying and Tim becoming robin out of necessity.

Thinking about Bruce not noticing Tim has been kidnapped because surely, surely his parents would file a report. Surely Tim must have been dragged into going on a trip with them and just didn’t mention it.

Thinking of Bruce not questioning things correctly because he is too busy grieving the previous robin.

Thinking of Bruce just thinking Joker Junior is a random kid.

Thinking of Barbra being the one to notice instead.

Thinking of Barbra consoling Tim after he kills the Joker.

Thinking of her taking Tim and letting him heal in the Drake estate.

Thinking of a file Bruce Wayne makes called Joker junior, one that Tim never looks at, that talks about a kid who killed the Joker and has been missing ever since.

Thinking of, months later, when robin returns to Bruce’s side, it just so happens to coincide with the return of Jack and Janet.

Thinking of Tim thinking Barbra must have told Bruce, but he just never came to see him. And that’s fine, because it isn’t as if they are family, Tim is just here to make sure Bats doesn’t go off the deep end again.

Thinking of Barbra not telling Bruce, because surely he already knows, he’s the world’s greatest detective. Plus she isn’t one to talk about other people’s trauma when they aren’t around.

Thinking of Tim hiding his laughter, because Batman would never let him keep patrolling if he knew he was still having fits.

Thinking of Dick not being there most of the time, and when he is, he mostly spends it arguing with Bruce.

Thinking of Tim knowing that Dick must know because he hears them fighting about the joker being dead once, although he did leave pretty soon after when he feels the laughter bubbling up in his throat.

Thinking of Jason coming back, attacking him at the titains tower, and telling him that he’s read all his files and knows everything about Tim. Obviously Tim takes this to mean he knows that Tim killed the joker as JJ. Because why wouldn’t that be in his file.

Thinking of Jason not having time to question when the little Robin who replaced him starts manically laughing once he sees him, because as soon as he hears the familiar laugh the green takes over completely.

Thinking of Tim finally feeling in control of himself, but then worst year ever happens. His parents are dead, Bruce is lost in the time stream, all his friends are dead, Robin is stolen from him, and everyone thinks he is crazy. He starts to relapse.

Thinking of Tim actually going a little bit crazy after that, trying to clone Bart and Kon, joining the league of assassins, doing all those crazy things he did during worst year ever.

Thinking of Cass learning after saving Tim from the daughter of Acheron. There isn’t much he can do but explain after she witnesses one of his fits.

Thinking about years later, when everyone has relationships more akin to Batman: Wayne family adventures, Tim still feels a little out of the group.

Thinking of everyone getting mad when he talks about the Joker, especially if it’s in front of Jason.

Thinking of Tim going silent or making himself scarce everytime the Joker is mentioned.

Thinking of a Tim who finds an excuse not to go out when Harley Quinn is.

Thinking of a Tim who hasn’t had an episode in years.

Thinking of a Tim who watches Jason get all this support for his trauma, while he doesn’t.

Thinking of him going to Barbra or Cass anytime he has a set back because they are the only ones who seem to care.

Thinking of a Wayne family who doesn’t know.

Thinking of a Tim who Knows they Know, but they just don’t care.

Thanks to artfight, I’ve finally finished a detailed, official dbhc cub reference! :D

(I’ve put his Artifight description below the cut, which has a more detailed explanation of his timeline, lore, and aesthetics! >:3)

-ˋˏ ༻ ❁  OVERVIEW ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-

Name: C.B.F.N.4000 (Cub) Pronouns: He/Him Species: Android Height: 5’9’’ Associated Visual Themes: vex, ghosts, explosions, mischief, scientist aesthetic, potions, potionmaking, sleepy/tired aesthetic, conspiracies

-ˋˏ ༻ ❁  ABOUT ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-

CBFN4000 is an au version of MCYT Hermitcraft’s Cubfan, set in my DBHC (or Detroit Become Hermitcraft) AU! This au is inspired by the 2018 game Detroit Become Human, but not because it really has anything to do with DBH—I simply yoinked the android mechanics and incorporated them into the world of Hermitcraft. It began as a S8 au, and has roughly followed the hermitcraft timeline up to the present! 

Cub was the last android made during Season 8. While many of the hermit androids were made at the beginning of season 8 and a few were made for season 9, Cub was finished and activated mid-late Season 8, around the time when Hermits started noticing the Big Moon. Cub’s model ended up being a sloppy experiment in deviation, as Doc suggested they try to transfer deviancy to an android upon activation to try and avoid traumatic situations that might cause an android to deviate violently or upsettingly, such as Etho’s, Tango’s, or Mumbo’s experiences. While this went relatively well initially, it clearly wasn’t very thoroughly thought out, as Xisuma (who is normally so adamant and detail-oriented when it comes to assuring the androids’ safety with experiments like this) wasn’t truly himself due to external manipulation and mostly left a relatively young-deviant Doc to carry out the project himself. 

Cub, though adjusting to sentience rather well at first, very quickly became wrapped up in the Big Moon happenings on the server, new personality and inexperience to emotions like fear and ignorance completely overwhelming his young system. He became obsessive over the implications and consequences of the Season 8 Moon Apocalypse, joining the Mooners and spreading his conspiracy theories religiously throughout the server as he descended into madness. The insanity was like a virus to his programming, pervasive and all-engulfing, and Cub’s final attempt to free himself from the Moon’s impact with the Earth—to launch himself on a llama into space via potion-powered TNT(insane btw)— left his hands and feet singed and cracked to ruin.

The experiment, considered a horrific failure by a deeply shameful—and more awake—S9 Xisuma, left Doc and Xisuma with the decision to reset him for the new season, and they ended up pairing him with a hermit like they had done with the other androids until they had found deviancy enough to pursue their own projects. So, at the start of season 9 and fresh after a reset, Cub was paired with Scar. Naturally, because Scar is… Scar, Cub deviated almost instantly after being given to him, and very quickly adopted the iconic lazy, stoic, amused attributes normally associated with Cubfan. Scar’s tendency towards mischief and general shenanigans grew instantly on Cub, and the two were an immediate inseparable pair. So much so that when Scar began rambling one day about his Season 5 Hermitcraft Shenanigans (where deals with the Vex may or may not have been involved), Cub immediately stated he was interested in being in on it. Whatever “it” means. It’s unclear if Cub also made a deal with the vex or became connected to them in some other way, but… well, he got Doc’s help to trick out his eyes, hair, and back to best fit the part. Scar is very jealous that he can't magically make himself have the same features to match.

Cub is closest with Scar, but he gets along just as well with any of the other hermits! He’s close with Jevin and many of the other redstoners like Etho and Doc, who are the other two androids I’ve put on artfight!

-ˋˏ ༻ ❁  EXTRAS ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-

Cub's eyes can light up in the dark, and he’s the only android who has edited his programming so that the default state of his LED is white, not blue. It still will go yellow and red if his processors are working particularly hard, but he’s replaced the blue setting on his LED with white to better match the Vex vibe. Cub has all of the vibes of a fae. If that’s anything <3

Round 3 - Chondrichthyes - Squaliformes

(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)

The Squaliformes are an order of sharks that includes about 126 species in 7 families. These families include Centrophoridae (“gulper sharks”), Dalatiidae (“kitefin sharks”), Echinorhinidae (“bramble sharks”), Etmopteridae (“lantern sharks”), Oxynotidae (“roughsharks”), Somniosidae (“sleeper sharks”), and Squalidae (“dogfish”).

Members of the order have two dorsal fins, which usually possess spines. They usually have a sharp head, no anal fin or nictitating membrane, and five to seven gill slits. They are found worldwide in saltwater or brackish water. Most species are nocturnal or live in the deep sea. Bioluminescence evolved once in Squaliformes, approximately 111–153 million years ago, and helped the Squaliformes radiate and adapt to the deep sea, thought some of the families have since lost this adaptation. Members of the families Etmoperidae, Dalatiidae, Oxynotidae, as well as the Velvet Dogfish (Zameus squamulosus), still possess photophores, luminous organs, and exhibit intrinsic bioluminescence. While most species are small (less than 2 m long), the Sleeper Sharks are known for having some very large specimens such as the Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) which reaches a confirmed length of 6.4 m (21 ft) long, and the Pacific Sleeper Shark (Somniosus pacificus) (gif below) which could possibly reach lengths in excess of 7 m (23 ft). Meanwhile, this order also contains the smallest shark in the world, the Dwarf Lanternshark (Etmopterus perryi), which reaches a maximum adult length of 20 cm (8 in) long.

Squaliformes are ovoviviparous, giving live birth and sustaining their embryos by yolk and possibly also by uterine fluid secreted by the mother. Many have large litters, though this of course varies by species.

The Squaliformes date back to the Late Jurassic.

Propaganda under the cut:

Dogfish earned their common name after a group of fishermen reportedly observed Spiny Dogfish (Squalus acanthias) chasing down smaller fish in dog-like packs.

The Spiny Dogfish is a highly migratory species: one shark was recorded as travelling 8,000 km (5,000 miles) after being tagged in Washington state, United States, and found again later in Japan.

Uniquely amongst sharks, Dogfish possess venom which coats their dorsal spines; this venom is mildly toxic to humans and is harmful only if the shark is manhandled.

As lanternsharks are often found in large numbers at a time, and with the eyes and beaks of cephalopod species much larger than them in their stomachs, it is likely that they cooperatively hunt in packs. They may use their bioluminescent photophores to keep sight of and coordinate with their cohorts.

Echinorhiniformes are relatively large. The Bramble Shark (Echinorhinus brucus) grows up to 3.1 m (10 ft) long and the Prickly Shark (Echinorhinus cookei) up to 4.0 m (13.1 ft). However, both species are known for being harmless to humans and docile, either tolerating contact or fleeing when closely approached, even though they are sometimes caught as bycatch or used for fishmeal and liver oil.

One record of a pregnant Prickly Shark (Echinorhinus cookei) was gestating 114 embryos! This ranks among the largest known litters from any shark.

The Kitefin Shark (Dalatias licha) is the largest luminous vertebrate known, typically growing 1.0–1.4 m (3.3–4.6 ft) long, though examples as long as 5.9 ft (180 cm) have been encountered. The shark’s bioluminesence is directed downwards from its front or belly. There are two hypotheses for this use of bioluminesence; either it illuminates the sea floor while the shark is searching for prey, or it is used as a counter-illumination camouflage when approaching prey.

The Kitefin Shark has a history of human exploitation. The meat is consumed in the eastern Atlantic and Japan, and the offal processed into fishmeal. The liver oil is utilized in Portugal, Japan, and South Africa. The skin is made into a type of shagreen useful in the making of furniture and jewelry, and is also favored for the manufacture of "boroso", a Spanish polished leather. A fishery targeting this species existed off the Azores from the 1970s to the 1990s, but collapsed when the Kitefin Shark population quickly declined, showing the high susceptibility of deep-sea sharks to human exploitation. The species is now listed as vulnerable.

The Taillight Shark (Euprotomicroides zantedeschia) has a pouch-like gland on its abdomen that emits clouds of luminescent blue fluid as a squid-ink-like defense mechanism.

The genus Isistius contains two species of “Cookiecutter Shark.” These sharks are notorious for biting small chunks off of larger animals in passing, often leaving round, cookie-cutter shaped scars. Cookiecutter Sharks sometimes travel in packs, and if their bite weakens a target and causes it to be unable to swim properly, they will pounce when the prey begins to sink. They will also consume whole smaller prey, such as squid. Their green luminescence is the strongest known of any shark, and is concentrated on their underside, but absent on their throat and gill slits. This creates a dark “collar” that resembles the silhouette of a small fish, while the rest of its body blends into the downwelling light via its bioluminescence. When a would-be predator approaches, the cookiecutter shark latches on.

Due to their deep sea habitat, most sleeper shark species are rarely observed and relatively unknown, making them some of the most mysterious shark species. The Taiwan Sleeper Shark (Somniosus cheni) is only known from a single adult specimen, a 1.34 m (4.4 ft) long pregnant female with 33 embryos, caught in 2017. The Azores Dogfish (Scymnodalatias garricki) has only been caught twice. Fewer than a dozen specimens of Frog Shark (Somniosus longus) have been collected, usually as bycatch. One species, the Longnose Sleeper Shark (Somniosus sp.) has yet to be formally described. Due to the nature of this tournament, I may be unable to even include many of these species in later rounds due to lack of good photographs. But they’re out there. Waiting. Hiding.

Greenland Shark (Somniosus microcephalus) meat is toxic to mammals due to its high levels of trimethylamine N-oxide, although a treated form of it is eaten in Iceland as a delicacy known as kæstur hákarl. To make the shark meat safe for human consumption, it is first fermented and then dried in a process that can take multiple months. The shark was traditionally fermented by burying the meat in gravel pits near the ocean for at least several weeks. In the present day, shark cuts are typically fermented in containers that are perforated to allow liquid to drain. The fermentation process converts urea into ammonia and TMAO into TMA, which then drains as liquid from the meat. The meat is then excavated and hung in strips to dry for several more months. In modern times, the Greenland Sharks used for hákarl production are purchased from fishing ships where the sharks were trapped in nets as bycatch, and are not intentionally targeted.

Greenland Sharks are one of the longest and slowest-lived animals on Earth. Pups are born alive after an estimated gestation period of 8 to 18 years. They reach sexual maturity at about 150 years of age. They grow at a rate of 0.5–1 cm a year. Their lifespan is estimated to be up to 500 years. They are the closest things we have to elves.
