what is the reasoning for iron and A Certain Departed Master Of The Bazaar™ potentially being close btw? this is a genuine question. i'm curious to see people's take on this ship. go ahead give me the sales pitch

[captainlordauditor]

I understand the frustration with people not treating adopted family like it's real, but I do, actually, think that Damian, who met Bruce when he was about 10 and was raised from birth knowing Bruce as an absent role model, is going to have a fundamentally different relationship than

Dick, who was fostered from a culture that has a history of having their children forcibly separated from their community and assimilated into whiteness

Jason, who functionally disowned himself before Damian met Bruce

Tim, the guy who went so far as to fake a legal guardian so Bruce wouldn't adopt him right away, and whose biological father died when he was 16

Cass, who did not meet Bruce at all until she was 17

I don't, actually, think Dick or Tim would consider Bruce their father unilaterally without caveats. Even Jason's relationship is complicated by the fact that he did have Willis and Catherine for the first 10-12 years of his life, in some form. And I think it's very possible that Damian would not expect his siblings to grok his relationship with Bruce due to the fact that every one of them had another parental figure in their life at some point, in a way that Damian has not.

Doodle dump bc I wanted to post something part two (part one here)

Alcor outfit doodles, including my Clown Alcor, and Magical Girl Alcor! (Also him at a mermaid bar (at an embassy) mentioned in chapter two of RB, using @that-ghosts-art mermaid Dipper design) also an Off-Model Alcor from TBOB

Quarantine AU dipper (based on Giving up, Giving in by @toothpastecanyon )

More Clown Alcor

(The ballon was going to be human intestines but I forgot)

I think it’d be cool if Lucy Ann and Dipper sometimes hang out in their animal forms to be less noticeable. I don’t know how TAU vampires work, but for now I’m gonna say that Lucy Ann can only turn into a (vampire) bat, while Dipper’s most common animal forms are a cat, a crow or a raven, and maybe a bat when spending time with Lucy Ann.

I made Alcor a fruit bat (a flying fox specifically) for a few reasons

He’s fruity

They’re cute

Big and scary to a lot of people

Bigger than Lucy Ann’s bat form (I want her to be able to ride on his back)

Dark with golden-ey colors

base meme would have suited fine but i think this was a bit more accurate LOL

If you are in the UK and can take care of chickens, please consider offering a chance at an actual life to ex-battery hens who will otherwise be killed at their first moult at about six months old because it slightly reduces their egg production.

Industrial farming is a fucking dystopian nightmare. Please do your best to help the survivors.

stumbled across this old discarded newspaper yesterday in BG3 and I'm still laughing about it because

I just know they asked Cazador. I can feel it.

"Are vampires real? we asked the reclusive Lord Szarr who very confidently stated 'Of course not. Ridiculous superstition.' We are of course taking him completely at his word, especially as he was kind enough to ask us to join him for dinner later."

anything can be a fucked up parallel if you simply memorise every line of dialogue in three whole films and start attributing Profound and Tragic Meaning to perfectly ordinary words you use every single day

In the spy au

Does batman still get robins?

ABSOLUTELY

I feel like it’d be more parent relationship vs a mentor, the boys just being professional meddlers and bruce has to clip leashes onto their baby harnesses

the Scientist shares one thing with the Bazaar: despite being absolutely swagless and sad they keep getting game, with both the Scoundrel and the Silverer fighting over them while their dead lover is in the background, and the Bazaar having Penstock, Lilac AND the Efficient Commissioner all sighing dreamily at the thought of her

yknow what. comparing my reclusive ungodly tortured nerd guy to a depressed divorced space crab milf is Not the comparison i thought i'd be ever seeing in my inbox?? but keep cooking actually

Jim couldn’t actually prevent all inconvenient situations from happening forever. Hell, even if he did have the ability to, the amount of effort would be unreasonable. He liked sleeping in far too much to commit to that. Besides, the odd slip up from his coworkers kept things interesting -- nothing to solve if things always went right!

That, however, did not mean he was enthusiastic about the most recent fuck up. Failing to properly dispose of a dead boy, especially a human, was a different level. It was being looked at, properly, and by the types of eyes Jim’s gang was usually lucky to avoid real scrutiny from.

Whatever. It was fine. Jim could deal with it. He just needed to get ahead of it -- frankly, he was willing to let his gang all burn if he had to because he could always find another damn one. It’d just be annoying. He was probably getting scoped out, and either he was going to get arrested or having someone supernatural pull him aside. At least, if someone hadn’t looked incredibly hard for a long time, Jim didn’t look like he ran the gang. He looked like he was borderline one of their victims -- working for them, sure, but being sold for his supernatural beauty and allure, and the reason he didn’t run could be explained by Stockholm syndrome. Not a key target, at least, just someone who knew what was going on.

He found himself an appropriately isolated building, because the more people around the more cautious he had to be with his power. Couldn’t fully let loose, but he never really could, anyway. As expected, hoped, someone did show up. Tall someone. A nice benefit. Jim faked a little jump in surprise, a quick intake of breath, then someone schooling themselves to appear calm despite an undercurrent of anxiety. Eyes just a bit too wide to look comfortable. Fingers twitching like they were avoiding a nervous tick. He eyed the -- surprisingly angry -- man carefully, and waited for him to speak first.

Necropunk: Vampiric Order of the Crossroads

The second largest institution in Eutoria, if you could call it one institution, is the disparate nomadic tribes of Vampires roaming the land by road to find the leftover mortals from the Archlich's raids for children so that they might feed another day longer.

While many of the roamers, or Mosquitoes, tend to find bodies and drain them in haste just to slake their hunger there are wiser vampires on the ground who know to keep a person alive as a blood bag to prevent going mad with hunger. These vampires tend to lead the lower level groups and are known as leeches, holding on as needed and not letting go of their position. Mosquitoes tend to follow Leeches knowing that a Leech will only keep a prime, healthy body and discard the others to live or die in the aftermath. Both vampires tend to survive by burrowing and waiting out the cycle of day to night by temperature alone. While this causes many overstarved Mosquitoes to die, it also makes them and Leeches much harder to hunt by more daring mortals.

A Leech who is worth their salt as a leader and survives for some time will then garner the attention of the more stable vampires who operate in vehicle caravans. Due to their more wild and erratic movement, willingness to make deals with larger mortal settlements and knowledge of the roadways the leaders of these caravans are called Finches. Finches only take in a Leech when they can prove that they can keep their blood bags alive without their Mosquitoes fighting back or causing more chaos in the process. The Finches then either bring them in as muscle to keep the caravan, or flock, safe or they train exceptional Leeches so that they may split a flock when it has grown too large or become harder to manage due to more erratic personalities. Flocks do collapse however, usually when a Leech who starts their own caravan encounters another flock they do not know and the new Finch either cannibalizes the flock to build a stronger one or is crushed by the more well established flock and their resources are taken.

The final and natural progression of these names are the Bats, Vampire Lords so insular and self reliant that they need little to none of the support the flocks or Mosquito swarms provide. Instead, the Bats have a deep knowledge of the now primal necromancy of the land and as such have created powerful vehicles constructed from the bone and stone of ancient crypts and, holding such constructs together with their sorcerous magics, operate two wheeled speed vehicles faster than anything short of a dragon. These crypt-drives can only be tamed by sorcery and even some of the most trained wizards or priests cannot manage to recreate the devices. Bats are so charismatic and well versed in mortal society that they know how to not only build trust in mortals but can convince some to serve as a source of blood of their own free will, which is surprising as the six existing Bats known to the crossroads could each decimate a human settlement on their own, as some have to prove their power.

Of note the twins Orphie and Phillie, indistinguishable from one another, were said to move so fast some thought they were quadruplets as the former towns of Charity and Eastwind were torn asunder simultaneously, broken bodies everywhere to be found but not a drop of blood was wasted between the two ghost towns. Each town left a survivor to tell the tale, though said survivors were never seen after the next dawn. Many of these tall tales are hard to put much faith in without first hand account, but another cannot be denied.

Silver Smoke, the youngest of the Bats in appearance, burrowed a small road large enough for their crypt-drive in Cragsteel Mountain. This is taken as fact for two reasons; the hole exists clear as day between the settlement of Propriety and the last road to the Archlich's Citadel, but also that Smoke seems to have left all the ore mined from the act for Propriety, which on top of being used to make locks and bars for all the buildings was also used to make a small statue of Silver in the middle of town as both acknowledgement and warning to remember that no metal could keep such a being out of their homes.
