last line challenge

not sure if I've done a challenge like this before, but I got tagged by @vechter :) thanks!

rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like)

He hated this place. Well, that was uncharitable to the people he did like, but still…the city made his skin crawl. As a human, it was a constant weight and the feeling of eyes on your back. As the jaguar, it was so much worse. Every sense and sensation was turned to eleven, he could smell the blood and filth embedded in the cement, hear every argument or yell, every scream - and know that he couldn’t help everyone. His instincts lit like fire everywhere he went. Bette said it made him jumpy. Cats just didn’t fit in this place unless they were born here, and all the other guys, they were either street dogs or loyal hounds. Tom glanced over at Dick. Case in point.

rating every single genus of bat, 1/~222: Balantiopteryx

welcome to a new series at bowling-with-skulls, where i discuss every single genus of bat and conclude with a scientific ranking out of ten. ranking will be determined primarily based on charisma, which can be defined as cuteness, coolness, ugliness, cartoonish disproportionality, or an otherwise distinctive vibe. points may additionally be awarded for cool species names or unique adaptations. without further ado…

opening with a genus in the Yangochiroptera suborder, in the family Emballonuridae, Balantiopteryx, from Greek meaning ‘pouch wing’, is a small genus containing only 3 species of sac-winged bat:

thomas’s sac-winged bat (B. io)

grey sac-winged bat (B. plicata)

ecuadorian sac-winged bat (B. infusca)

these insectivorous bats are found in mexico and central america, and while i couldn’t find a picture of the wing-sac described in their name, it sounds really cool. both io and infusca are classified as ‘vulnerable’, while plicata is listed as ‘least concern’. all three species are on the small side, averaging just over six centimeters from tip to tail and weighing between 3.7 and 7 grams.

this genus scores high predominantly on the basis of their looks.

looka that shweet liddle facey face. das a baby, yes he is, yes he is a good baby, just a liddle guy, yes he is.

rating: 12/10

Did you talk about the winter warmth one already? Curious on that one too 👀

I did not yet! Though it’s probably not what you were gonna expect

So, this one is an old one so please excuse any bad writing. I am planning on editing it a lot once I finally continue writing it.

So! For context: this is a Bat! Jotaro au. Why a bat? Because I was talking with a friend and they sent an adorable picture of a bat so I went “what if bat, but Jotaro :0” And then I proceeded to make an entire crytpid creature from it called a ‘Chiroptera’ that I unironically love. HA

For this particular fic he can shapeshift into a little bat like a vampire, but that’s not how the universe/cryptid usually works. Just like my Mer au, I like my realism. So please excuse that, I may just write that out still, it depends. But yes, this has been my baby for a while and though the descriptions are a little wonky, I’m working on it. Bear in mind I wrote this like a year and a half ago probably, oops.

Oh yeah, it’s also yandere, so CW, bear that in mind. Mainly just stalking though

It was deep into the night. Hanging from a tree nearby, two vibrantly coloured eyes - almost glowing in the dark - stared dead at a window.

Inside, sitting slumped over at a desk, were you.

You’d fallen asleep half an hour ago, giving the creature outside a perfect view of you.

For months, Jotaro had hung outside your window like this, toes firmly planted around the branch, black wings wrapped around his body for camouflage and comfort as he simply observed you.

You lived on the edge of town, your house right by the forest. It was what allowed Jotaro to have watched you for so long and go on undetected.

The wind howled by, rustling the fluffy fur on his back and making a shiver briefly pass through him. He wasn’t made for being out in the open in this winter weather.

Almost as if to prove a point, snowflakes started descending from the sky, adding to the already present layer of snow on the ground.

It wasn’t storming by any means, but the curtain of white was somewhat blocking the creature’s vision.

You hadn’t been laying like that for too long but the Chiroptera knew that sleeping like that was not good for you either way.

The snow, the cold, and his underlying thoughts brought Jotaro to move.

Unfurling his wings, he stretched his arms out wide, feeling the leathery material connected to it stretch as he flexed his fingers.

Similar to a bat, his arms were his wings, though Jotaro’s arms appeared more human-like in shape than the actual animal’s did. When having his wings folded up, his arms and hands functioned the same as a human’s, simply having his wings folded by his body as much as he could - a clawed, seemingly four fingered hand at the culmination of it all.

Hanging upside down from his feet - toes curled around the large branch - Jotaro had no choice but to just drop himself.

Stretching his wings out, the leathery appendages extended as his fifth finger shot out sideways, almost doubling the size of his wing span.

Without much fanfare, Jotaro released the branch, dropping himself as he quickly flapped his wings, lifting his body in the air and turning around the tree he had just been hanging from; flying the small distance through the snow to your balcony window.

Landing on the stone almost soundlessly, the Chiroptera sat ducked for a few seconds before slowly standing up, seeing you still motionless at your desk.

It was rare for the bat to see you from this close and he raked his eyes over your form, appreciating you for a bit.

When those seconds were up, he reached his claw up to the handle of your window. Trying to open it proved no problem as he turned it and pulled the mechanism towards himself, the window opening without problem.

Wanting to keep the cold out, the bat-creature immediately climbed from your window into your room, shutting the thing behind himself and banishing the snow and cold.

Instantly, Jotaro felt like melting in relief, feeling the warmth of your house wash away the cold that clung to his fur. The scent of your room clearing his airways from the sting of the cold outside air.

Letting one last shiver rack through his body, Jotaro relaxed, shaking the snow off himself before slowly starting to step his monstrous feet over your carpeted floor; the pads of his feet splayed out, his toes spreading flat and wide. It felt amazing after the more rough bark from the branch he had been hanging on, but there was no time for that now.

Stepping forward, he cautiously approached your form, staying close to the ground for a bit as he moved closer.

Once he was close enough, he stood up fully behind you. Looming over your back and looking down.

Your head was dropped down on your desk, so innocently and calmly sleeping away, as if a monster wasn’t standing directly behind you.

A high pitched chirr left his throat as he crooned at how cute you looked.

So soft, so vulnerable. Any creature could come inside here like he did. You really were too naïve of what lurked out in the forest.

Bringing his left arm up, he gently placed his hand on the back of your chair, the neon colour of it contrasting wildly with the completely black appendage.

Reaching his right up, the Chiroptera gently moved your hair aside and away from the back of your neck, careful to not scratch your delicate skin with his sharp claws. Once it was exposed to him, he leaned down and nipped at the flesh, leaving his mark on you.

You stirred a little at the slight pain his bite brought, but were too deep in sleep to really register it.

Taking note of your reaction - or rather your lack of - Jotaro stepped around your chair so that your face was facing him.

With careful moves, the bat leaned down and slinked his arms under your body, leaning you into his naked chest before lifting you up slowly, making sure to not stir you.

A small noise left your sleeping form, making the Chiroptera freeze, but your hand merely grabbed hold of the fuzz that marred his side before you settled down again.

Calmed by that, he walked you over to your bed and lowered you down, feeling his folded up wings graze past your blankets as he did.

Once he was sure you were secure, Jotaro pulled his arms away from you, careful to not trap his wing under your body.

The hand that had been in the short fur on his side fell limply next to you as you melted into your bed.

Grasping the corner of the blanket, the bat tried to put it over your body as best as possible. After tucking you in to his satisfaction, he let his hand linger, allowing it to roam the material, his four clawed fingers pushing down a bit to take in how it felt.

He had never really felt any of this with his own hands, only ever having watched it from afar.

Debating for a second, the Chiroptera looked back at your window, seeing the snow had picked up so much so that it wouldn’t surprise him if it became a storm later.

Looking down on himself, he sighed softly, the fur he had only ran across his legs, back, sides and the top of his shoulders. His entire chest, face and arms were unprotected from the cold and if he had to fly out into the snow to find a cave or hollow tree to rest in, he would surely have a bad time if not freeze to death before he could.

Sure, he could go into his bat form to combat the cold, but the winds were too strong for him to fly in at that size.

Not taking too long to decide, the man turned back to you, the ears on top of his head twitching back and forth for a second before he carefully climbed onto your bed.

Wary to not touch you, he placed one foot on the edge, reaching over your body and putting his weight on his arm as he put his other foot on the edge of the bed, his toes securely curling around the frame like it did the branch outside as he now carefully stepped over your body.

Completely getting on your bed, smushed between your body and the wall, Jotaro lowered himself down.

He had been waiting so long to be this close to you.

Bringing his knees up to his chest, he curled up into a little ball, spreading his right wing out over himself as a blanket as he placed his chin on your stomach gently, sighing a deep yet content sigh as he allowed his muscles to relax completely.

He hadn’t been this warm and comfortable since he was a pup, sleeping under his mother’s wing.

Twitching his foot a little as he settled completely, he pushed a little more into your side before closing his eyes, your blankets firmly in his left fist as he fell into a rest in the wee hours of the morning.

I love not being new to tumblr but still being clueless as to what means of interacting I should take in certain situations.

If I agree with someone and wish to expand, do I comment or reblog? And why?

If I see art I like, does reblogging mean anything? I have maybe 2 followers and don't tag my posts. Like 3 cool people here know I exist and that's only because I occasionally bother them. Hell, IS it bad manners to occasionally just poke people for silly shit? (I'm doing it anyway)

Is just liking a post bad manners? Must I also reblog? Is merely liking a post something people give shit for?

When do I pm someone? When do I ask someone?

How do reblog games work?

Do I really have to reblog the "If you don't rb ur bad!!" posts? No. Lol. Lmao, even. Rofl, if I may.

My answer to all of these is fuck you I HATE all of you and hope this site MELTS to the GROUND and when it DOES im going to PEE on the molten REMAINS that lay where a SHITTY echochamber of DUMBness and STUPID once stood. ("Waa waa curate your experience" CURATION ISNT ENOUGH I NEED THESE PEOPLE TO EAT IGNEOUS ROCKS (You're right tho teehee))

I will do what I WANT because you all are but little ANTS inside of my PHONE at the MERCY of my every WHIM. I do not LIKE this app enough to LEARN the RULES of how to USE it and will USE it how I WANT.

Also happy pride month to 2 of said 3 people I occasionally bother. The 3rd person is lucky I forgot them or I would bother them just as much. @glassbirdfeather @transgender-chiroptera

I'll remember you, third person. And I'll tag YOU in my midnight essay-like blogs that go no where. Be afraid.

CHIROPTERA "mentors" (aka random people Damian hangs out with that aren't Bat-related and gets weird life advice from) in order of the current wip so I can keep track of them:

Bette - learning about Kane history as it connects to the Waynes and more about Bette's perspective on being a vigilante, as well as a family as it pertains to the outsider (an adult who knows what you don't)

Tom - learning about legacy heroes in a different context and meeting Ted, getting into personal arguments over what being a son means when you have no father (an adult who knows you too well)

Violet - a woman burning and a child furious, the meaning of violence and what being a cult weapon aimed at strangers will do to you (an adult who won't hold back)

The Creeper - the musings of a being of chaos and the hysterics of a child unraveled, prowling the nightly streets in search of something (an adult untethered by sentiment)

Rory - a man haunted and child who can't see the ghosts, careful release and grief, facing morality and questioning your "goodness", the sunrise but not the conclusion (an adult who has answers)

Calvin - a brief moment in a diner between a man drifting and a child running, getting advice on attachment and when to stay (an adult who you can't become)

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/20RZ4Im by RevengePanda Jason recognizes the kid on the news, he realizes, when he idly glances up from his book to the TV playing silently in front of him. That’s not unusual, per say. Kids from Crime Alley, from the Narrows? They make the news all the time, and he knows, or knew, a lot of ‘em. They’re always warnings, tragic and broken, and even if they don’t use the kids’ names, he can usually recognize the faces the headlines are paired with. They aren't usually being labeled as "domestic terrorists" on national television, though. But maybe Percy Jackson's just always been an outlier. Jason remembers he was a pretty weird kid, from the very few times they met.
