I think I figured it out.

Phoenix is Trucy's dad, but he's Apollo's dad friend.

oh. I think my fears about Chiefcake passing from old age were more on point than I realized. she's acting very weak right now.

and it's late on a friday, when all the rabbit-specific vets have closed. I'll call around anyway to see if at home euthanasia is an option tonight.

Abby and Into the pit Oswald have similar “friends”..

actually i think sony should take their sweet fucking time with beyond the spiderverse cuz even with the time they took with atsv it wasn't enough for the animators to have proper working conditions. like take ten years i don't fucking care, people can bitch and moan but i would rather know the employees aren't working 8hours a day plus overtime for 7 days a fucking week to get a movie about spiderman done cuz "waah waaaah i wanna see it" people won't shut up and sony demands their film be made for the profit of it all

Idk I just had the intrusive idea of the JL or some hero investigating the GIW or some other group with suspicions of them keeping merfolk or similar what with the giant tanks and what's shown in their paper trails over the years.

Only for Big Ass realms naga to swim by the observation window in the water.

From top to bottom, left to right: Valerie, Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Danny, Ellie & Dan

Like I am saying 30ft (9.1m) at the least from head to tail, probably bigger in giant rooms. And like, visibly has been there for a while. Like the GIW have been studying them as the only available specimens after they hypothetically destroyed the portals.

The GIW is the ghost investigation ward after all, not extermination. Though that doesn't mean they're exactly treated the best either- more akin to something like a snake or crow, like semi-intelligent animals like dolphins, chained to make taking samples & dragging them from the ecto-infused waters easier.

And maybe they're a little feral, muzzles on save for feedings preventing them from talking, if they even remember how to make noises that aren't in the words of the Zone anymore.

Maybe they've convinced themselves that it could be worse, they could've been killed like Vlad, like an animal that had bit too much, over and over. Maybe they've convinced themselves that this isn't so bad, even if they're treated less than human, even if they've not seen the sun for who knows how long now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Design Thoughts?

-Metal Core Valerie, her scales are literally made from it, in blacks and reds like molten gemstones. Her scales are sharp too, designed for easily cutting through stone. Lots of spikes that glow when channeling energy.

-Plant Core Sam, scales designed for plant seeds to catch hold and take root not unlike a sloth's fur, hiding the sharp thorn-like ones lining her backside. Also, acid. Blacks, greens, and flashes of bright purples & greens that hint at the poisonous nature

-Storm Core Tucker, very thick scales designed for going through the sand with side spikes that help channel electricity. Has both a rattle and a pair of stingers that could hypothetically 'plug in' to things as well. Some of the most bioluminescence of the group.

-Ocean Core Jazz, she is the most aquatically designed out of all of them, with lures all across her body that mimics the lights reflecting off water, tricking the mind from noticing her. Large carp-like scales and several rows of teeth. Lots of blues in coloration with hints of oranges & yellows like a sunrise at the sea

-Space Core Danny, with large amounts of spikes and 'vents' that cover him in an aurora if he were free. Spikes with their own miniature gravity forces, twisting the area around him as he moves. Black iridescence & swirling white-blue patterns like galaxies are painted across his body

-Moon Core Ellie, covered in fine needle-esque scales not unlike how actual moondust is. Very rough like sandpaper and a fin that mimics the tail of a comet tinted ecto-green. Mostly monotone colors otherwise.

-Sun Core Jordan, with similar vents to Danny but with flames and plasma. Thick fur at the end of his tail not unlike how Vlad's was, with thick scales that allow for swimming through molten material that could melt anything and anyone else. Blacks, whites, blues, almost like white-hot coals

So we all like the “if you die then I’ll burn down the world” trope but there’s something so powerful and beautiful about living on with their memory instead. It’s not “because you’re dead the world has nothing worth saving in it” but “everyday something in this world reminds me of you and I’m glad for it even if it hurts”.

It’s “I’ll bring your kindness with me wherever I go and someone will remember it even if they’ll never know I borrowed it from you.”

It’s “This is what you would do.”

It’s “I’ll remember you for you and not for what the people hail you as.”

And it’s so painfully beautiful.

I think at one point Ra’s was a good grandfather.

This is kinda approaching what I consider to be “my” canon, that being Ra’s slowly losing his mind due to his age and the losses he’s experienced.

I have this idea of Damian being like 6 and him finding a fledgling crow with a broken wing. He kinda just sits there and examines it for a while when Ra’s comes up behind him.

“What do you have?” He asks, groaning as he bends down beside Damian.

“I think he’s hurt, Grandfather.” Damian tells him.

Ra’s hums. Damian watches in awe as his Grandfather ignored the pecks as he gently maneuvered the bird to take a look.

“Oh, dear.” He tuts. “Looks like a broken wing, poor thing.” He places it down and stands. “Come along now, Damian.”

Damian hesitates, “Can we not help it?”

Ra’s picks up Damian. “Habibi. Life is full of tragedies. But the body of this crow will feed other scavengers, and those scavengers will feed the predators. That is the way of life, my dear.”

“But, he’s not dead yet.” Damian argues. And looks up at Ra’s with big puppy dog eyes.

Ra’s is a strong man, but not strong enough here.

So, he helps bring the crow inside. Ra’s carefully creates a splint for the crows wing and Damian helps Talia cut up some food and give the fledgling some water.

The bird heals and Damian cries when they have to release it. But smiles when the crow comes back to visit every couple of weeks or so.

As the years pass by, Ra’s begins to lose himself. He doesn’t notice it, but his loved ones do. No one is sure what the cause is. Perhaps it’s exposure to the pit. The brief madness one experiences after a dip might have a prolonged and permanent effect after so many uses. Or maybe the human brain is not designed to be alive for so long. It doesn’t matter in the end. Ra’s becomes cruel, unsympathetic, and short tempered.

Talia loses faith that the man before her is her Father when he raised a hand to Damian. Her Father would never. Her Father is lost.

Luckily she stopped him before he could hit her baby. She sends Damian to Bruce to keep him safe as she stages a coup. Talia was planning to anyways, it’s clear her son is not an assassin.

Idk, I don’t know if this makes sense. Just seeing a bunch of Al Ghul discourse on my dash and thought I’d add my two cents :3

you know that post that's like the best way to deal with conspiracy theorists is to suggest an even wilder conspiracy (ex. "did you know the moon landing was faked?" "you believe in the moon?")?

well that but with tim and bernard. every time bernard gets a little too close to the bat secret, tim suggests something insane and then goes to great lengths to find (or occasionally manufacture) evidence for his stupid theory.

-----

bernard: okay hear me out, what if the second robin came back to life and is now red hood

tim: okay but what if red hood is actually joker from a different dimension where he didn't go mad and his life of crime escalated?

-----

bernard: i think the youngest robin might actually be blood-related to batman

tim: maybe the youngest robin is a literal demon that batman summoned and bound to him

-----

sometimes he goes a little too deep down the rabbit hole and manages to convince himself of his theories. And, on one notable occasion, one of theories actually turned out to be true and helped solve a case.
