Prompt 333
I once more believe Battinson Batman needs to be given a child. Or multiple. Multiple children. I am also once more rotating Ghosts Have Wings Au.
So Batman, still early in his whole vigilante career ends up busting a shipment, nothing too surprising there. Pretty usual honestly. Except for what was in one of the crates already open. Because it looks like some sort of gemstones but… perfectly spherical. Strange. Suspicious.
But it’s also late, er, early in the morning, and the GCPD is notoriously corrupt, so like, he’s not going to just leave the weird gemstones, each about the size of a plum or so. (Dear Gotham he’s apparently hungry, and might inwardly vow to never let anyone realize what his tired mind decided to use as measurement)
So he, unknowingly spurred on by more than just a slight bit of ecto contamination, takes the strange spheres back home. Just puts them in his pockets and heads back to the manor that they moved back into after the whole Riddler mess. (He even found a cool cave! With a bunch of terrifying bats, but they made a glass separator! For safety!)
But in Bruce’s defense of forgetting about them, he’s more than a little tired and hungry and just wants to sleep for a bit, y’know? So maybe he forgets about the gems as he falls asleep in the chair in the cave (Alfred was not pleased!) until he starts digging around for them. Erm. Did they fall out somewhere?? There’s no holes in his belt pockets…
And maybe these sort of things shouldn’t slip his mind, the spheres had felt Weird with a capital W, but he gets forced to a circus and there’s an… accident. So maybe he pushed it away as not important because there’s now an angry grieving eight-year old living with him and he’s panickedly reading any and all sort of parenting books he can get a hold of because he has no clue what he’s doing.
Yeah, maybe his back is itching like crazy no matter what he tries, and maybe he threw up the other day, but it’s fine. This is fine.
….
Oh dear Gotham those are feathers, this is not fine- ALFREEED!
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#Ghosts Have Wings#The difference between ecto contaminated & Liminal is liminals form Cores#Bruce (forming a core thanks to literally carrying cores) is now sprouting his own wings#Dick is ecstatic really because Holy Guacamole! Wings! Will he get wings?!#(He does indeed get wings from all the ecto Bruce begins to give off)#Does this count as mpreg? Bruce isn’t even aware poor dude lol#Bruce’s wings are practically Black 4.0 and trail flickers of shadow & flecks of metal like Gotham’s darkness has come alive#Dick’s start like a normal robin bird’s but shift into something akin to the night sky & a burst of glitter at the back#As his core develops from a baby to a proper storm core#His wings light up if hit with electricity & he adores the extra intimidation it gives him#Fuck it let Bruce get Jason early (catches the tire iron without fully registering because Liminal instincts are Screaming#To take this tiny ass ecto-contaminated orphan back home & bundle them up in feathers & blankets#The dad instincts are hitting this early twenty-something year old Hard#He might’ve nearly stolen tiny child Tim at one point (Tim came over because the power was out & nanny was late from an attack)#Leslie (tired): Congrats it’s quadruplets#Bruce: Wut#cryptid batman#cryptid batfam#they deserve it#as a treat#Tumblr don't delete my tags challenge

Hey, time to overanalyze magic again. It makes sense to me -- follow closely now -- that earthbending would just be the control of rocks. It's all the minerals that come from the ground, and sure, even some artificially created ones as long as they have the same structure. But just rocks. Not dirt.
Why not, you ask? I invite you to consider what dirt actually is. It's lots of things! Some rock dust, yes, but also crumbled plants, and decomposed animals, and a variety of fungus, and bits of poop from creatures both microscopic and large. Basically, it's a mess of all things organic (plus tiny rocks).
You don't want an earthbender for dirt.
You want a necromancer.
#this throws so many elemental magic systems into chaos#can you imagine some character discovering this in-story?#did everyone just assume that the ability to move the dirt under your feet didn't go any farther than that#and no one ever thought to test it?#maybe it's super rare#and there's a lot of propaganda#either way I'm picturing someone scooping up a bunch of soil for whatever reason#and getting a dead bird or something with it#and no#that wasn't just swept up with the dirt they were controlling#the character stares at it. moves the feathers one by one without touching them#then has to make a Decision#about what to do with this knowledge#anyway somebody should write about this kind of thing#it's fascinating#writing prompts#magic#rules-lawyering the magic#earthbending#worldbuilding#I've mentioned before that you need a necromancer to fix rotten wood#this would fit in that same vein#it's control of dead things#and all that that entails

Bruce with fae!Dick is just: I have no idea what this kid is or what is happening, but this child is mine now :)
I like to think he never asks what Dick is, he just don't want to know for the sake of his mental health
Ngl that was my first thought too ksksks
On one hand we’ve got Bruce the world’s greatest detective but on the other hand… well, Bruce can only handle so much weirdness in one day and his new child is basically the embodiment of Weird™️ 😭😂
Dick is just happily swinging from the chandelier and having animated conversations with a bird about the weather and meanwhile Bruce is just standing off to the side like :)))) my child isn’t like other children :)))))
Everyone else: awe, yes, everybody thinks that about their own kid.
Bruce, who just saw Dick rotate his head 360° to keep track of a firefly only to then eat it and because it allegedly insulted him: yes :))))))
#ghost talks#fae dick grayson#creature dick grayson#the fair folk#the ones that live in the woods#and the space between a tree split by lightning#the beings from the moors#the birds without feathers#hehe translating our names for them into English makes no sense but it still turns out appropriately eerie#look I got told that a creature slept on the roofs to turn on the lights whenever we came out#and that we had to say hello and goodbye or it wouldn’t turn on the lights anymore#it was great#we always waved at it#pagan folklore#folklore#fae folk#jason todd#batfamily#dick grayson#robin#batfam#bruce wayne#Batman

Gull chaos
(Featuring wind in an au where the chain obtained Wings at some point which only gives wind an excuse to indulge in some seagull (food theft) shenanigans. Not without consequence it seems though...)
Ok maybe Wind was in the wrong here... In his defense One does not give a young pirate the ability to fly and not expect him to indulge in some winged heists. Especially if it includes fresh baked pie in the second floor open bakery window of the Lady who had wrongly accused him of stealing some sweet rolls he was considering BUYING. If he was going to be accused of something, let him actually commit the crime first for Hylia's sake! Was wind just proving himself to be exactly what She had accused him of? Yes, But will he get Pie from it? also yes! Wind snuck away from his brothers into the side alley and removed the cloak that currently covered his new feathery appendages. Wild had given each of them one to keep from arousing suspicion or unwanted attention during their supply run in the nearby town. It was a little uncomfortable but really not that bad. It only took a small running start, some wobbly flaps, and a few near misses with the walls to get up to the window. His wings were definitely NOT built for confined spaces, too long and much more comfortable with the open skies above oceans. He was careful to keep a good grip on the window ledge and inspected his target. Ooooo it was cherry! The smell made Wind's mouth water. He carefully maneuvered the desert into one hand and was beginning to plan the best route to ground so he could enjoy his prize in peace when a startled cry sounded from inside the building. The Baker had returned with another pastry in her hands too cool on the window ledge she had assumed was well away from thieves. Her face was frozen in shock and Wind stared back with a similar startled expression. It was then that the baker had spotted the pie Wind had in his grip. That seemed to break her stunned silence as she grabbed a nearby broom and started to the window. "STOP THIEF!- MONSTER-" Wind took this as his queue to leave, nearly avoiding a hit with the broom and letting out a squawk he would deny making for the rest of his life. He spread his wings to catch his fall and he was soon landing in a crowd of rather alarmed people. Not even bothering to contain the chaos now Wind Darted away from the bakery and in the direction he had last seen his brothers. Stolen pie held above his head as he ran. More Shouts sounded behind him as he made his escape. Where were the others? they hadn't been far when he had snuck off in the first place and even then he was only gone for a few minutes. Wait there was Legend and Hyrule by a potions stand! Both of his brothers seemed rather astounded as the chains youngest nearly ran into them yelling something about needing to leave while holding what looked like a cherry pie above his head and seemed to have lost his cloak somewhere. The shouts from behind soon gave them a rather good idea of what might have transpired. " REALLY Wind?!" Legend shouted as the now group of three were making their escape through the marketplace. "She insulted me!" "You STOLE an entire pie and have just maybe run all of us out of town!" Hyrule just as indignant about the situation as the vet. "I can't restock potions now!" "Not My fault everyone overreacts!" Wind protested. "Your Impossible!" Legend shouted again. "Wait can't we just fly away?" Hyrule seemed to remember that all three of them had recently been given wings and could therefore all escape relatively easily. They all went silent. "Well I guess we're just throwing subtlety out the window." Legend muttered but stowed his cloak in his pouch. His own Tawny and pink wings stretching out. "Technically that happened a while ago."Wind stated as he launched himself in the air "when I In fact stole this pie out a window." "We're going to pay that baker back, still you know that." Hyrule leveled beside Wind. Iridescent wings seeming to move impossibly fast.
Wind groaned.
The trio soon landed back at the chain's camp a few minutes later. Legend confiscated the Pie, stating If everyone was going to be affected by this mess then everyone was going to get a share of the spoils. Wind had dejectedly slouched by a nearby tree. He would have shared anyway, he thought with a huff. It was about an hour later that the rest of the chain made their way back to camp, All but wild seeming to have varying levels of irritation written on their faces. Wind was starting to wonder again if he had made the right call…It did not take long to explain what happened though they seemed to already know the gist of it.
It also turns out now the entire Town was on guard for “winged monsters” that could disguise themselves as regular hylians and the rest of them had barely slipped away without suspicion. Without several of the supplies they had originally planned on getting.
Warriors was about to launch into (what was sure to be a very lengthy) lecture about responsibility or something when something seemed to dawn on Wild.
“So you lost my cloak?”
Ah. Well now Wind was definitely sure he had in fact, goofed.
#herring writes#linked universe#lu wind#lu legend#lu hyrule#Seagull wind commits crimes#Unfortunately not without consequence#Maybe one day#One day it will be only silly birb hyjinks#have yet to name this au#Feel free to leave suggestions#Edit: this has a name now#Birds of a feather AU

A midsized omnivorous enantiornithean bird from the Northern Kantishian. It is, despite its bright colour and distinctive song, rather elusive as it favours the highest parts of the tree canopy. Its feathers, especially the tail ribbons, are highly sought after by the Am-Wiek peoples, but the bird itself is rarely trapped and decorative use of its feathers depends on found shed feathers. Among the Am, feathers from this bird are never traded: they are a sign of a blessing from a forest spirit, and trading the feathers would insult the spirit. They are, however, sometimes gifted: the gift of a red ribbon feather is the highest courting gift and highly auspicious.
#'tober#i've been drawing exlusively birds for the past couple days and still have many birds to draw on my list.#so i might start posting them without much description though i did manage to whip something up for this one#this is also a bird drawn from feathers i'd drawn in other stuff HOWEVER i have not posted those drawings yet so no closeups for that one.#enantiornithes#birds#fauna#speculative biology#speculative evolution#worldbuilding#uanlikri#antiole world#art by me

I just had another comic idea and I refuse to start another draft about it, but Medic carrying Studentenfutter with him and just snacking it together with Archimedes-
#60 seconds till mission begins rambles#Studentenfutter is like trail mix but without the candy part; its superior in any way; don't try to change my mind I die on this hill#The word literally translates to “student feed” and supposedly comes from rich students enjoying nuts/raisins as snacks back in 1800#Anyways I just like the idea of Doc pulling up some cashews from his bag; eating some; immediately passing one to Archimedes#Just two birds eating nuts on the battlefield; nothing to see here. Archimedes would have the glossiest feathers because of this#I just like the idea of Medic occasionally giving his birds a snack while on duty; it contrasts so nicely with the gunfire around him

Y'know I was sitting here this morning with the hot spring rambles on my brain, specifically thinking about if the hair washing is close enough to preening to make Grian's birb brain happy
And it just really hit me how unfair hhau world is to birb Grian in particular. Birb brain wants preening from Scar and to show off for him, but being noticed is what's most dangerous for them. T-T
-🎀
hhau world is cruel to birb grian. besides just turning his wings into big shining targets and a huge liability, grian can't have anything his instincts want and crave and yearn for.
preening (as much from himself as from scar—he can't get any version of it and it's driving something in him despondent and mad), idle touches to his feathers, using wings for nonverbal language, using them as a comforting warm blanket on cold nights, flying... the list goes on.
he's a grounded bird that sometimes contemplates if he wouldn't be better off without his wings. that's what this world's done to him.
and oh gosh the things he'd like to do now that him and scar are openly horribly in love? all the new instincts and cravings and urges? all of those things he equally has to stifle and bury deep down... all those things that he feels insane need for but an even bigger terror of them—an emotion that doesn't belong, should never have been put there, and yet it's so deeply rooted and entangled through him now, so much so that it feels insurmountable and irreversible...
it's honestly unfair and so very sad, yeah 😭
#ange answers#ribbon anon#hhau#grian angst#if you can't tell i have deep feelings about hhau grian#he's dealing with a LOT#he gets self destructive urges from it sometimes#and a constant unending dose of anxiety#wouldn't it be lovely if scar and grian got together under better circumstances?#pesky bird perching on scar and showing off his feathers and using them emotively#teaching scar how to preen him and then promptly melting under his touch#but no they can't have that#scar tells him a bunch of times during various points#that he'd be okay never touching grian's wings if that's what grian wants#but if grian wants the touch#even if it's terrifying and it's incredibly difficult with all these mental barriers and trauma and fears#then scar will always be open to trying whenever grian feels ready#without rush#baby steps#all that#because he wants to give him everything grian needs

i've seen a few comments before (not on here, just in the past on other sites) frustrated and confused about why the oldest dream never talked to yoo joonghyuk. or anyone for that matter. why couldn't he just say something, anything at all? did he feel nothing as they suffered? couldn't he have helped somehow?
and there's a lot i could say about this and a lot of various layers and details and perspectives. but in the end it all comes down to this:
not a single one of us can talk to the characters in a book we're reading.
that's just how it works.
#beso babbles#orv#orv spoilers#(next part is just my rambling that could be ENTIRELY incorrect its 4AM okay ashdjfg)#in addition here's my hot take: i don't think yjh actually talked to od the one time he said he did#i think he is a little liar who thought the one reason kdj wouldn't kill him is if kdj thought it'd doom the timeline#and he thought kdj wouldn't feel assured unless some higher power than yjh confirmed it would be fine#so he LIED to get kdj to KILL HIM because he and kdj are BIRDS OF A FUCKED UP FEATHER#i'm not saying he lied about knowing the timeline would be fine without him. i just think he reached that conclusion through other means#like. its a perfectly reasonable conclusion to make if you consider that the cut film effect exists.#how are you gonna splice n dice different timelines if one of them doesnt exist anymore once yjh regresses? you CAN'T is the answer#so i think he could be sure the current round/timeline would be fine if he regressed into a new round/timeline even w/o talking to od#anyways. i could be 100% wrong about all that!! i likely am ashjdfg but it's. it sure is something to think about!
