“Mor, d’ya rememb’r when I said ya could only spook scum?”

Morel nods seriously.

“Well,” Wil grins, “I got’a friend who needs an ex scared straight. Ya up for it?”

—————————

Oswald Cobblepot, commonly known as “The Penguin.”

Morel’s target.

Morel is silent as he follows Cobblepot. Father told him that the inferior bird was “tryin ta date someone, but then gettin’ pissy when he got excited about somethin’ and proved he ‘as more of’a personality than just ‘is pretty face,” so Morel is going to scare him.

Well, terrify is a better word for what Morel is going to do.

Finally, Cobblepot enters an old, grimy apartment building not too far from the Bowrey. He has enough money for something better, Morel knows, but this was all he could get on such short notice.

The man’s apartment is on the fourth floor. Morel quietly scales the side of the building and cracks open a window to the apartment, slipping inside. Cobblepot doesn’t notice them.

Morel is silent as he sneaks behind the couch his target is face-planted on.

“Beware the Court of Owls”, he rasps, the sound seeming to come from all sides. (So what is he installed tiny speakers all over the room beforehand for extra Spooky Factor. You can’t prove shit)

“That watches all the time,”

Cobblepot has sat up now, scanning the room for intruders.

“Ruling Gotham from a shadowed perch,”

“Where are you?! Show yourself!” Cobblepot shouts. Morel can hear the fear tracing his words.

“Behind granite and lime.”

Cobblepot is standing now, scanning the room for anything amiss. He doesn’t spot anything.

“They watch you at your hearth,”

“Is this about the lounge? I didn’t blow it up! That was all Eddie’s fault-“

“They watch you in your bed,”

Cobblepot is shaking now.

“Speak not a whispered word of them,”

Morel draws two of his knives, the sound echoing around the room.

“Or they’ll send the Talon for your head.”

Morel flips out of his hiding spot, landing on the back of the couch with a knife in each hand.

“Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot.”

Morel didn’t go quite so far as to put on the old costume, but he is wearing all black and a specifically painted mask, so it’s not real far off.

“You have been weighed,” Morel moves closer. “You have been measured,” Closer still. “And you have been found wanting.”

Cobblepot still stands frozen five or so feet in front of Morel.

“The Court has sentenced you to die.”

Before their target can react, Morel dashes forward and jumps to draw a long, shallow line across his throat. Nothing that would require anything more than neosporin and a bandaid.

“But not quite yet.”

And then he’s gone, disappeared into the night.

smth ive noticed that drives me a little crazy is that like. english speakers are allowed to give ocs more "unusual" names (think like noun names or something similar). and no one bats an eye. but the moment someone does the same thing but the word isnt in english everyone throws a fit. like if someone speaks idk tamil or something and wants to name their oc the tamil word for like. window. or whatever. people get mad and go "waaaah wah thats a TERRIBLE name it sounds WRONG" meanwhile english speakers can name their ocs like paintbrush or smth all the time and no one bats an eye (which they shouldnt, its fine, who cares). its just very telling. why can people only have fun with it if its english

(OC) More Shiba drawings, but these are actually recent! This time I will share a bit about Shiba. A non-goat creature from the Nether (She is a Minecraft OC ww) who now walks with society. She can be briefly described as strange in any angle ww

Being a high school student who is also a transferee who also does not speak the native language in the area while simultaneously also not rlly having much friends nd also beefing with 2 different teachers is so not fun actually !!

I hate how I can never stay at a school nd always move around :/ I rlly need a decent social life bc I might kms

[wibble-wobbegong]

would any bilingual/multilingual baddies wanna help me with a school project? it would require a face to face call but we’d just be discussing the power of translation in poetry

[straykats]

hearing chan/people switching languages mid sentences makes me feel so valid

existential crisis feelings are hitting once again

also as a bonus to my previous post, I’m gonna really lazily translate some names as halfhazardly as possible.

mahito’s name means true person (真人: 真- real, 人- person)

hanami’s name is flower with an honorific attached, but it sounds like “花見”, cherry blossom viewing parties in spring/“花実” a word im too lazy to look up the definition for

and geto’s name

geto’s family name, 夏油

means “summer oil”

Salut! J'aime vraiment votre personnalité et je voudrais être amis. Si ce n'est pas le cas ! Je n'ai pas beaucoup d'amis, alors peut-être que nous pouvons être amis ? -Anonyme français

J'aimerais que nous soyons amis !!! Je ne parle pas français (ce qu'il y a ici est dû à la puissance de Google Translate) de toute façon, j'aimerais beaucoup me faire des amis !!

look at my boy. look at him. 

this is Pal(its a placeholder name)! hes 17. he wears socks&sandals. he knows a lot of random shit but has no opinions. also his spine is a bit fucked(beacuse his prosthetic is too fucking heavy for him)

hes a nervous guy and he finds comfort in having an authority figure to listen to, relying on others to tell him what is right(most of the time that person is either Tashi or Eenek). he tries very hard to appease everyone, but hes also not great at reading people....

ughh i have a shit ton of thoughts on this fella but i just cant put it all into words right now wnich sucks!!

alright one more /pos moment for the mcyts, squidcraft really has highlighted how crazy smart George is. I can't even think of any specific moments right now, but I know that was generally what kept coming back to me the whole time. man is SMART.

when it comes to languages, i have no chill but unfortunately, i also have no brains so its a bad combo

[whitefangz]

anyone else whos bilingual but doesnt live in a place where you regularly speak the language randomly get scared that youre forgetting it and go on a multiple day long duolingo kick to prove to yourself that you still understand it. or is that just me
