Bruce & Talon!Dick age swap

Okay so I saw a post about Bruce getting taken by the Court of Owls after his parents death to be Talonized and I raise you this. (it's only half fleshed out please do tell me your takes)

The Waynes are royalty in Gotham -- even if they haven't been part of the Court for a few generations. The Owls whisk away Bruce, not trying to talonize him -- they are arguing between themselves for custody. For regency of the kingdom, by raising the future king. This Wayne will be the next Grandmaster of the Court, they'll make sure of it. (should we get rid of the butler?)

9 years old Bruce Wayne is curled up in a corner, watching this, silent, still in shock. Something plop in front of him: Joe Chill's head.

The Owls get silent, and watch the Talon get on its knees in front of the young prince, who's still petrified. (Who ordered Talon to go get the Waynes' murderer? Not me. No one? Did it decide on its own? Its talonization is only halfway from completed. It's an interesting result though. Kneeling in front of the princeling, huh? It understood his place well. I don't think this initiative deserve punishment. Yes, good job Talon, the Court of Owls has now avenged the Waynes-)

Talon doesn't turn toward the Owls, its eyes are fixated on little Bruce, still curled up frozen. Slowly, Talon spread its blood-stained hands, tentatively opening its arms. Bruce's eyes widen, and there's a raging storm of emotions in those shiny blue eyes.

Gently, Talon place its hands behind Bruce's back and head and attract him on its lap, burying the boy's head in its stomach. Its movement are awkward, it is acting on instinct from memories it can't quite grasp, but it thinks this is how it is supposed to do it-

And then little hands curl into fist in the fabric of its uniform, and the boy's body starts shaking, and for the first time, little Bruce falls apart in loud, keening sobs, while Talon studious rub little circles in his hair with the tips of its fingers.

EDIT: I got a follow up here

Danny: Your mother!

Vlad: My mother is dead, Daniel.

Danny:

Vlad: She shoved me into a closet while saying that we were playing hiding and seek, and me, the oblivious boy I was then, obliged and was excited, not at all questioning that she knew where I was hidden.

Danny: Vlad-

Vlad: Then I watched on helplessly through a crack in the closet door as she was brutally stabbed to death right before my very eyes, terror running through my veins and fear gripping my mouth to keep it closed. I couldn't turn away, as I had a front row seat to each and every scream that they tore from her as blood slowly melted into the carpet.

Danny: Dude-

Vlad: Then I saw the life drain from her eyes and leave nothing behind but an empty husk that once was and the killer standing on top of her body. Before they left, I remember staring at her for an unknown amount of time before the police came and escorted me outside.

Vlad: Sometimes I wonder what difference it would have made if I stepped out of that closet.

Danny:

Vlad:

Danny:

Vlad: Anywho, enough about that. Would you like some cupcakes Daniel?

Danny, disturbed: Uh.... sure....?

Vlad: Great, vanilla or chocolate? Or perhaps lemon with some buttercream?

Danny: Lemon with buttercream please.

Vlad, going to his kitchen: Wonderful, wait one moment.

Danny is currently questioning how the hell a simple your mother joke forced him into a lore dump of his mother's death. On the bright side, at least he'll get some cupcakes out of it?

Dick: So, is your godfather always like this?

No matter what anyone says, Danny did NOT scream because he genuinely forgot that Dick was there, nor would he ever admit to being scared, because he wasn't scared.

i didn’t wanna hijack @silverstoning’s post of their thunderbirds/splatoon au splashtags, so i’ll make my own post for it but-! >w<

wasn’t expecting to get a smallish jumpscare of that upon opening my tumblr when i’ve been drawing THEM for the past few minutes… hours… xD i was like, ‘what are the chances of someone mentioning this, while I’m doing this-’

(excuse the horrid-ish watermark lol)

they still need tweaking but, i wanted to post them cause i, really wasn’t expecting to see someone else talking about a thunderbirds/splatoon crossover, yippeee 🤭

pls enjoy my renditions of Scott and Virgil as squidkids while i work on their brothers c:

so the testing of the "special functionality" the gamemaker update will add to chapters 1 and 2 will be saved specifically for the undertale twitter to talk about, not toby... is it that big?

"He’s frozen stiff, threatening claws now hovering down to the side—his eyes look huge in the darkness, that faint white glow giving just the slightest of his expression away. 

He still doesn’t strike."

- all because of you (i do right) by puppyblue on ao3, Chapter 1. @puppyblueao3 here on tumblr i think!

(does this count as a fic rec or fanart. both, probably. rambles under the cut.)

SO uh—i'm really picky about fanfiction. like. really really picky.

i dunno why exactly, but i kinda have a hard time reading them right away bc a) i'm not really a shipper and that's most fanfiction i've seen and b) i like when i can really imagine the characters saying and doing whatever it is they're doing.

y'know the whole "he would not fucking say that" meme? lmao that's me, but with fanfics and only to myself. (i know everyone has their niche and i'm not here to police anybody's fun, just curate my own.)

anyway all that to say that i really, really liked this one. a lot. it's canon divergent off of into the spiderverse, and if you can believe it the comic is literally not a spoiler bc it's in the summary of the fic. but if you liked uncle aaron or even just are a sucker for redemption (? ish?) arcs, i think you'd like it! with all the angst and chaos from atsv it's a nice change of pace.

[lbhslefttiddie]

me: we should get into hydrology or ecology or something geography related. we are good at geography and love stupid bullshit like that. its a viable career path with lots of options and historically speaking people do tend to be happier when they can afford to eat

also: okay but have you considered. going all-in on creative writing with a focus on programming and music design so that you could spend all your time creating video games in a basement somewhere

me: no i think i would like to have a stable income i think

also me: forsake everything to get into that interactive fiction course right fucking now

My friend (@momiji-manjuu *kisses*) had their bday in June and I made them a card. Now this was my first ever attempt to draw chibis and of course I chose to do it when I had a strict deadline, haha. So please be gentle *hides*

[thetarttfuldickhead]

So Jamie and Rebecca are on hugging terms now, are they? Since they’ve never really interacted much in the past I can only assume it’s because all of the dinners and double friend dates with Rebecca and Dutch Dude that Keeley’s started bringing both Roy and Jamie to.

Hiii kellie hiiii so i was thinking abt chry and flor friendship again....ahd most precisely when he lost myo....likeeee imagine him coming back from alien stage and getting rlly depressed because she just DISAPPEARED and flor has to slowly watch her childhood friend lose himself in grief....imagine........ + points if flor already had her son during this time..... (IIRC FLOR DIED IN ALIEN STAGE BUT WE IGNORE THAT!!!) anyways thoughts....

Hihhiiii hiii clowwnnnnn hihhiiii hehehehhe ,, sosssorry for getting to this very late..ouhuhhuhh, like. Close to New Year's Late

Anyways. Anyways, Chry and Flor... When Myo is taken away.... God ...I'm thinking of how it would happen and the situation... And I just .I dunno how old she was when she was taken (tho she was older because she remembers her parents, in a small way- at the very least she was 4-6?). I'm presuming you mean when wins the previous season (which is 38 for my lil brain of wanting a timeline).

Flora having to watch Chry just .. do the five stages of grief. ........ Just thinking on how Flor would try and help him thru it but yk. Still gets emotional (in an exaggerated way ?it is genuine but she exaggerates it making it seem like she doesn't at the same time). Explodes with more sans chry & papyrus flor ideas (just the whole "pick up your sock" type of deal. But also that one part in Aftertale p1: �� "Um, So... Sans. Now that we are alone... . I wanted to say something?" / "Hmm? Bro?" / "Okay... It has to deal with all your recent nightmares." / "... Ah. Bro you told me I didn't have to talk about it." / "Oh, and you still don't! If you don't want. I just... Sans. I know you better than anyone. And I also know you tend to... Well. You don't tell me much, Sans. I can tell you hide a lot from me. A lot about you.

And I also know... That you probably believe you're protecting me by pushing me away." / "..." / "But... Sans. I'm an adult... and a most dedicated brother and friend. And I can handle it. No- I want to handle it... side by side with you. Burdens just... Weigh less that way. For both of us, I think. And maybe you'd feel... Just a little bit better?"... yeah)

I dunno when Chry gets back, but I do somewhat think it would be around the time that Flor is 14-17 (right on 15 having seb), so .

Chry would be like. Would probably know actually ...maybe. Flor only tells people she knows that can keep a secret and she trusts them. So who knows, but in some way she would ?tell him?? She thinks that would help. Having him know that (she might've lied thru her teeth when she said she'll be better and be more on guard.. because when seb was 2 almost 3, that was when she went away and gave him to Eddy <-belongs to bluemoonscape ) ,,.shrugs

Surprising no one (excluding myself because I'm plenty surprised), we have a part 2? Truly flying by the seat of my pants here. This happened because I tried a new tea blend today..

Part 1 of our Charmed/Practical Magic AU

Part 2

So Daniel takes Max back to his house because there's no way they’re going to sit through hours of lecture after this. Max is….freaking out a little. Rightfully so. But Daniel knows that Grace will fix him right up!

They’re at the ranch and Grace is waiting for them in the kitchen, she places a cup of tea in front of Daniel’s favourite bar stool.

“Mama, this is Max. I think we saw him coming.” Daniel announced, attempting to offer her back the agate crystal. She shook her head, motioning for him to keep it. She didn’t even try to touch it. Daniel shrugs and puts it back in his pocket because, well he’s used to his mom’s witchy idiosyncrasies.

“Hi. I… I don’t like hot drinks.” Max didn’t want to seem rude but he also figured it would be ruder to not drink the drink she offered.

“Good, so Mark was right this time.” Grace hummed before offering a glass of iced tea to Max instead. He took it hesitantly because he was sure the cup on the counter behind her had been a mug instead.

Max looked around the house, well the kitchen. It was one of those older designs, before everyone knocked down all their walls for an ‘open concept’ design. It all seemed normal, but something wasn’t right about any of this. He was tense, shoulders at his ears. Because the whole world paused…but this guy, Daniel, didn’t seem to be weirded out as much as Max had been.

“Hi Max, my name is Grace– I’m Daniel’s mother. Just have a seat and drink up and I’ll explain everything I can.”

“Something did happen!” Max’s eyes widened. He was just about ready to compartmentalize and pretend it didn’t happen but now… Now answers were being offered. He looked down at the iced tea in his glass warily. 

“It's just tea, some chamomile, rose and mint with some honey. To calm your nerves a bit. I promise.” Grace smiled a very maternal ‘I’ll take care of you’ smile at him and Max nodded and sipped the drink. He tasted the earthy tones and it didn’t taste like there was anything extra. But then again, he didn’t know what poison tastes like.

Everyone and everything looked normal, but Max thought there was….something about this house. He’d felt it the moment Daniel had pulled into the driveway. It wasn’t spine chilling per say but more like he needed to pop his ears. They weren’t high up in any altitude, if anything the house sat in a valley.

Max watches Grace as she bustled around the kitchen, mixing things in a bowl. It smelled lovely like there was bread in the oven. He felt like he was out of his body a little. Daniel was beside him watching him closely, he could feel his eyes on it. Max thought that the most interesting thing about this day would have been him fantasizing in class about how pretty Daniel was and maybe beating himself up about not getting his number.

Now though..

Max turned to Daniel, “everything froze today, that– that happened right?” He’d asked him that in the truck already on the drive over and Daniel had said yes then. He nodded again, saying yes now. But that made Grace freeze and rush over to Daniel and hug him.

“Congrats my baby!” She gushed and Max was even more confused now. 

“Thanks mama, I figured we’d talk about it after.” Daniel was sheepish and Grace kissed his forehead. Max didn’t think he’d be jealous of someone's mom, but here we are. Today was a day of wonders.

“What’s going on, truly.” Max whispered and Grace turned to him, she didn’t touch him he noticed.

“Max, this is going to sound like a shock, but our family, we’re supernatural beings. Daniel and I are witches.” Grace said calmly, watching Max’s reaction closely, Daniel looked stressed as fuck.

Max’s eyes widened, no shit. Well that’s….that’s something. But how did he come into all of this?

Luckly, Grace continued before he could ask. Because he didn’t think it would come out very politely.

“We think you might be one of us as well.”

Well, fuck. Not exactly how he expected this day to go at all.
