for the reverse tropes - I would love to see some bat related nursing home au, that just sounds amazing lol

"If you steal my favorite checkers game one more time, Hood, I will personally make sure the staff finds your switchblades."

Dick "Nightwing" Grayson leaned back in the most comfortable armchair in the common room of the Batmania Nursing Home in Gotham City. Across the table sat Jason Todd, often referred to as Red Hood, since - according to his own fairy tales - he used to be a feared gangster, back before the second hip replacement and the accident on the ice skating rink.

"As if. Nobody's afraid of you, twinkletoes. Just because you used to do gymnastics... doesn't mean jackshit now." Jason pointed the cane leaning next to Dick's chair, an elegant thing made from mahogany, it's handle shaped like a bird about to take flight.

"Gentleman, let's try to get along, yes? Anyone up for a game of chess?" Barbara Gordon's white hair was bound back into a stern up-do, the young nurse wheeling her towards the table barely visible in the presence of Batmania's very own Oracle. Rumor had it that there was nothing Barbara didn't know - and so far that had held true.

"I don't think we have time for chess today, Babs."

"Why? Are you scared, Grayson?"

"No, today is Thursday."

"Ah, you're right." Barbara smiled, all three of them having come into the common room for a reason after all. Jason had even put down his book (some brick by David Graeber), another weapon surely hidden somewhere on his body, in anticipation of what was to come.

Because on Thursdays all three of them welcomed their favorite visitor.

Young Timothy Drake, almost twenty by now. He'd started coming around some years ago, as an afterschool project his parents signed him up to, and now he visited once a week just to see his three favorite old-timers.

And it was quite obvious why they enjoyed his presence so much.

He talked to them.

Better yet, he told them stories.

"Okay, so last time I was here, Red Hood had just returned from the dead to lay claim on Gotham and take revenge on Batman, yes?"

"Finally someone appreciates how badass I am."

"You're not, Todd."

Dick grinned, leaning forward as if to hear Tim better, even though his hearing hadn't left him yet. Jason flipped him off, not daring to loudly interrupt again out of fear that Tim would stop his story.

"Well, the Red Hood is certainly trying to appear daunting in this particular story."

"And where am I in this, Tim?"

"Oh, Oracle is busy in her tower. Have I never told you about the Birds of Prey?"

Timothy Drake was smiling, the rapt attention of his audience invigorating. Barbara shook her head, and he took her hand, ready to guide her into the favorite part of this majestic and heroic universe he had created specifically for them:

Batman. Nightwing. Red Hood. Robin. And, of course, Oracle.

A story just for them.

The lovely @mightynein69 tagged me, and I haven’t done a tag meme in.... ages. So let’s go.

Favorite Ships:

Scanlan x Happiness (Also, you know, Pike. Because she’s the fucking best of us all. It’s weird, I ship Scanlan x Pike, and I do want Scanlan to be happy, but I’m also acutely aware Pike is so far out of Scanlan’s league, she’s on a different planet. But, she chose Scanlan so I stand behind her decision 100%)

for the ao3 ask game: numbers 16 and 3 <3

Hi!!! <3<3<3

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

Hm, that's hard to answer... but it's probably tied between the People's Alchemist (because I did a lot of worldbuilding for this and i had a lot of fun with it AND i think it has A+++ banter) and A Constellation Of Consequences (because it ALSO has a lot of cool worldbuilding and I really, really enjoy writing case fics that other people find enjoyable to read).

16. What’s your most common “Additional Tags” tag?

Both "Angst With A Happy Ending" and "Blood And Injury" are tied for the top spot at 14 :D I think that is pretty telling when it comes to me and the type of fic I write!

Thank you SO MUCH!!! And a happy new year!!! <3<3<3

[scattered-winter]

how do you have so many good ideas? please tell me about your fantasy world building for the weewoos

the answer is very simple it's because I 1) don't have any social life to speak of and 2) am filled with Constant Thoughts about the current hyperfixation (whatever it may be) so . there ya go

this is an au that some of my DC mutuals may have already heard about because I'm kinda picking and choosing elements of it to add to the 911 au. because I am a simple man who reuses my own ideas every so often and also because my worldbuilding has PEAKED with the monster in this. that said I will try to actually . make a new au instead of just copying and pasting everything. I'm not gonna cheat y'all that much. but I love the Hound with literally everything in me it is my most precious bit of lore from literally anything I have ever created (original stories included) so I am including it in this because i CAN. DC mutuals cover your eyes and look away because I lomve it soooo very much <3333 my most beloved skrunkly nightmare fuel <333333333333333

so in essence, the Hound is basically a cocktail of dark magic spells and curses all compressed into a neutron star of dark magic. it takes the form of a giant black wolf, but its form flickers and blurs as it moves, with particles of dark magic floating around in its wake (I am not immune to the anime flower petals effect <3). it can walk on its hind legs as well, and when it does, it moves in a very jerky, uncoordinated way (a la horror movie monster). but when it's on all fours, it's smooth and unnaturally graceful. basically it walks on its hind legs to frighten, and walks on all fours to hunt.

I have some rough sketches/concept art that is pretty old but still capture the general vibes of what this bitch looks like!

the Hound was created by dark mages long ago as a weapon against anyone who opposes them. it's the ultimate predator; once it has someone's scent, it can track them across continents and oceans. literally nowhere on earth is safe if the Hound is hunting you. no matter where you try to run, it will find you.

ownership of the Hound has been passed down through the ranks of dark mages as the centuries have passed, and much of the knowledge about its origins have been lost to time, so not even the Hound's handlers really have a full picture of what they're dealing with. it isn't a lapdog that follows orders to the letter. it's intelligent and independent, and it's truly, fully evil because it's literally made of evil magic from top to bottom. most creatures/people in this universe are at least multifaceted, but the Hound is literally pure malice and fear. it's my little skrunkly <33

the Hound has also sort of . passed into legend. it's in the stories parents tell their kids, it's woven soo deeply into the mythology of the world, and it even has a nursery rhyme:

ash like scattered pet-als eyes like flaming coal teeth like knives and claws like swords it'll always reach its goal a howl like whis-tling wind a roar like rumbling thun-der The Hound is coming from the dark to tear you all a-sunder skin like wisps of black smoke paws like creeping fog you can try and run but you can never hide for-ever it'll smell you from a-far it'll chase you to your bur-row The Hound is hunting through the trees and you'll never see to-morrow

largely inspired by ring around the rosie and how it is objectively a horrifying poem but turned into a kid's nursery rhyme. same concept

ANYWAY this is all coming into play because I have a very very vague concept of where the characters all are in this !! I still haven't decided if I want it to be lone star or 911 or both, but I think tarlos as royalty/knight would be SOO <3333 and the 118 as a squadron of knights would also be SOO !!! but in any case, no matter who I ultimately include in this au, they'll be coming face to face with the Hound and will have to try and find a way to kill it before it kills them. <3

writing meme #4

4. How much do you trust the reader?

This is such an odd question, cause I think there are a lot of ways you could interpret this? Like, is this is asking how much I trust a reader to understand cues or foreshadowing I’m trying to put into my work? Or is this asking how much I trust their opinions of my work? Or is it asking how much I trust them to actually tell me how they feel about my writing? Interesting. Anyway, all in all, I’d say I trust my readers quite a bit. The important thing about what I typically write - fanfic - is that the readers who are there and reading my stuff typically WANT to be there. They’re excited to have found it, and are excited to read the story, and for those who leave feedback, they’re excited to do so. So, I suppose I trust my readers a lot to read and to actually tell me what they think. 

ask me one of these writing questions?

[angryqueercrypted]

I'd love to know your reasonings and feelings behind gannet being the tower?

Much as I’d love to answer, I don’t want to go in depth about every bird and it’s choice of meaning without having the time to properly write down my thought process. One of the things I’m considering when I finish all 78 cards, (I will finish.. I will!) Is making a PDF book acompanying all the art discussing the ideas for the bird choices and the symbols etc :)
