#transformers one#tf one#starscream#eisen art#digital painting#digital illustration#digital art#yeah... I've been obsessed w tf since i watched the movie in october#what's w the excessive use of rake brushes?? Good question. I wanted to emulate the feel of metal#but turns out my knowledge of how to use rake brushes are in fact. poor#starscream isn't my fav character it's actually d-16 but I really liked screamer's character design#it's such a refreshing take but still recognizable as starscream. the black accent w his classic colors is such a great design#also funnily enough whenever I see tfone starscream fanart his hips are always cocked#I started this piece a month ago so when I saw the other fanarts I'm pretty bemused. It's like everyone's a hive mind or something#or maybe it's just not starscream if he isn't cunty#anyway

*rolls up 15 years late with Avatar the Last Airbender thoughts*
So I've been rewatching clips from the show lately to refresh my memory while I'm writing my Zuko Alone fanfic. And last night I rewatched the clip where Iroh teaches Zuko how to redirect lightning and I have had thoughts about this scene for years so I might as well finally throw them into the void of tumblr.
So, this scene is insane to me, because at the end of learning how he could-hypothetically- redirect lightning, Zuko looks at Iroh and, completely seriously says "okay I'm ready to try it with the real thing now". Like, Zuko, the boy with a massive scar on his face from where his father burned him just looks at his uncle and says, "shoot me with lightning".
And yes, he's 16 and not thinking but that's part of the point because the amount of blind, complete trust Zuko has in Iroh to look at him and say "shoot lightning at me" after the insane trauma he had at the hands of his own father- that is WILD to me. Zuko literally trusts Iroh so much that he just assumes, without even having to think about it, that no matter how volatile and unpredictable the lightning is, Iroh won't hurt him because Zuko cannot fathom his uncle hurting him.
And of course, Iroh's appalled because Zuko's standing there with a massive scar on his face from when his father misused firebending against him and likewise, Iroh cannot fathom hurting Zuko. And since IROH knows how volatile and unpredictable lightning is and how it could literally kill his son nephew he is absolutely NOT going to use it just to let Zuko practice redirecting lightning, but he's so flabbergasted that Zuko would even ask him that that he just kind of splutters angrily that he will ABSOLUTELY NOT shoot lightning at Zuko. (it's also just another layer of how messed up Ozai is because he shot lightning at Zuko without a second thought later)
But I hope Iroh thought about it later and realized the amount of pure, unthinking trust Zuko has in him because ;-; the child didn't even THINK about it. "Okay uncle shoot lightning at me now. I know I'll be safe because it's you." I love them so much 😭😭
#avatar the last airbender#zuko#uncle iroh#have literally had these thoughts rattling around in my head for YEARS#makes their reunion at the end of season 3 even more heartbreaking and sweet because zuko was so afraid#that iroh would be mad at him ;-;#the consequences of the crossroads of destiny really haunted him haha ;-;#their dynamic isn't even in my story I was looking it up just for lightning redirecting reference but the scene brought back thoughts#I love avatar it's one of my dormant hyperfixations that can become a current hyperfixation at any moment#which is. actually what's happened to me xD#this could potentially be relevant considering netflix is doing avatar tv show things now#but I doubt they'll do the subtext anywhere near this well#*writes an avatar fanfic 12 years after I first watch the show* 16-year-old me would go feral over the story I'm writing haha#anyway enjoy my ramblings

The Chains Ages in Linked Universe.
I saw people talking about the Chains age in Linked Universe, and I have my thoughts on them.
I've done a LOT of research on the Links and how old they were, I even tried to figure out how long Legend was in Koholint for. (We go with old Canon because new Canon doesn't make since,(Footnote 1) but basically that's the last time we see Legend in normal Zelda Canon)
Anyways-
This is from Jojo's QnA doc on the Linked Universe Discord- ^^^
And this is my thoughts on their ages. Side note, I'm not going off of looking up their ages through google, I'm going off info you can find in game and cross referencing it with other games and the Hyrule Historia and Encyclopedia. Time was 9 in his game and that's about 20 years later so he would be 29. (Unless if we counting Majora's Mask, then he could be 30-32)
Twilight was a "Late Teen" (Also it does state hold old he is) so 17 making him 21 to 22.
Warriors is also "Late Teen" (He was a trainee at the beginning of the war) making him 22 to 26
Sky is also stated to be around 17 making him 18 to 19
Wild is 117 and this would make him either almost 118 or just turned 118.
Legend just became "Of age" in ALBW and that's 16 in his era making 17.
Hyrule we know is 16 making him 18.
Four is 15 or 16 in Four Sword, but he isn't "Of age" so probably 15. making him 17.
And we know Wind is 13 almost 14. (He said it himself)
I just find it very funny the Toons are the youngests. Age explanation and footnotes below cut.
Time - He is 9 at the beginning of his game and becomes an "Adult" 7 years later at 16. This is one of the times it proves that 16 is "Of age" in the Zelda series. We aren't sure how much time has passed between Oot and MM, so we can guess he's 29 to 32 (Making Link in MM 10 to 12 as a good guess.)
Twilight - It's stated in a guide that he is 17. His game also was originally supposed to be a continuation of Oot and MM in the Wind Waker style, with Time all grown up and living on his own. But they changed it to what it is now. So it's just 17+4 or 5 making him 21 to 22.
Warriors - There is no official age and you do NOT need to be 17 to wield the master sword. All we know is that he's "Late Teens" making him between 16 to 19. Making his age in LU between 22 to 26.
Sky - He is stated to be around 17. Making him 18 or 19 (Even if we say he's 16, then he would be 17 to 19.)
Wild - he is 117 years old. We know this. it's been "Less than a year" so he could be almost 118 or already be 118, he probably doesn't remember his Birthday, so there is no saying exactly. (His Zelda should know though. Maybe.)
Legend - SO. I feel like people are gonna fight me on this, but I got the math and hours of research to back it. At the beginning of ALTTP, some guards say that Link shouldn't be out here or that he's too young to wield a sword (Or even start learning to) In BOTW Wild got the Master Sword at 12-13. And people said he was still very young and a prodigy, which means he was already learning the sword by that time. and we also know that in BOTW they think of "Of Age" as 17 instead of 16, meaning they probably make them learn stuff when they are a little older. There's also the connection to Oot, In Wind Waker its stated that Wind is the same age as Time when he Defeated Ganon (Making Wind Canonically 16) And Twilight is the age of what Time should have been when he decided to settle down, making him 17, which leaves us with Legend's age. Most likely taking Times age from the beginning of his game. LONG STORY SHORT- In ALTTP Link is between 9 to 10. NOW. The Oracle games, Link is still a CHILD, so before "Of Age" (Aka less than 16) A LOT of people call him a CHILD and wonder why he has a sword! making him most likely around 11 or 12. Same things with Link's Awakening. (FOOTNOTE 1). Then we have ALBW. Link has a job now and is learning to become a smith. so most likely after his return home, as well as he needs to learn this stuff before becoming a full adult, but then again he lives alone, so we could accurately say 15 to 16. SO LONGER STORY SHORT. We can say 16 and be GENEROUS. Making Legend 17 in LU (but probably closer to 16).
Hyrule - It's literally a plot in his game he is 16, making him 18 in LU.
Four - He is a Child in Minish Cap (So less than 16) and same with Four Swords. He has to be older than 12 because he was given a sword willingly. So between 13 to 15, but we can be nice and say 15 in Four Swords, making him 17 in LU.
Wind -
I do want to say, it's literally stated in his game he is the same age as Time when he KILLED Ganon as an ADULT. It's just the art style of the game.... He JUST turned 16, so people are still calling him a child. (Like how people call 18 year olds children in rl) But also he does look 12 in game... ART STYLE WHYYYYYY (also thats what Twi was supposed to look like lmaoooo)
---
FOOTNOTE 1 - The Encylapedia has wrong information that's easy to disprove and I want to throw it out a window. It also switched the order of the Oracle games and Link's Awakening, even though Oracle of Ages LITERALLY ENDS With Link taking the boat out to sea to head home, and LITERALLY Transitions to Link's Awakenings Opening. ITS THE SAME BOAT. I'm Gonna Cry- NINTENDO WHYYYYY.
#legend of zelda#zelda#linked universe#lu#link#character analysis#character ages#linked universe chain ages#I was left alone for 5 minutes#I have streams where I'm just reading the books and crying about the info in them#lu sky#lu four#lu time#lu legend#lu hyrule#lu twilight#lu wind#lu warriors#lu wild#Theres more games that state that 16 is “Of Age” but It's midnight and I'm gonna go play games with friends.#Yes I did the LU Character analysis' on Youtube#I went and researched for a year and a half all these boys and their games#giving each their own time to shine#This wasn't a quick google search this was actual hours of research XD#PLZ I'M GONNA SOB#NUMBERRRRS

what do you mean youre technically a detransitioner cause of terf bullshit?
it's a v long story but i detransitioned for a couple of years when i was 16/17, for multiple reasons but mostly because i fell into the blaire white/kalvin garrah chamber of "you have to be This way to be trans otherwise you're not real".
i was already Deeply insecure about myself and my 'passing' and i was led to believe that i couldn't want to wear makeup or skirts, and i couldn't choose not to have bottom surgery, and i couldn't do anything but bind for 12+ hours a day to the point that my ribcage is still misshapen. basically i thought that if i wasn't suffering enough doing 'feminine' things, i couldn't really be trans, so i should just go back to being a girl and suck it up.
the terf bullshit is because i'd seen a lot of terfs/detransitioners talking about the 'dangers' of testosterone and how it would turn me into a horrible ugly evil monster and how there was nothing worse than wanting to be a man. which combined with 'you need to fully medically transition to be valid at all' creates some very dangerous and upsetting feelings to cope with.
it also came from trying really hard to put myself in a little box before i realised that my sexuality/gender are very fluid and it's FINE for me not to have a label and just do whatever i want. when i was 19 or so i went back to using they/them (and eventually he/him) and changed my name again because even though i like doing 'feminine' things, i don't want to be seen as a woman.
tldr: i was conditioned by transphobic/terf rhetorics to think that i was being trans the 'wrong' way so i couldn't be trans at all, so i believed i must actually be a girl if i still wanted to do 'feminine' things. nowadays i am a transmasc who does feminine things because i don't give two shits about what any transmed prick thinks of me anymore.
#ramble#ok to reblog btw i'm fine with this being shared#this was meant to be a short version but this is just the whole story whoops#sorry i realised the way i phrased it sounded like i'm the detrans you see in the news#i'm Technically a detransitioner because a lot of detrans stats are people who go on to RETRANSITION#because detransition is often because of social stigma and not because you realised you weren't trans#so anyway. terfs are cancer and if you don't think their bs is harming children you're wrong#i know it's easy to say 'you should've used your brain and realised those people were wrong'#but like. when you're 16 you're SO impressionable. even if you think you aren't#especially when you're watching people who have been transitioning longer than you and you assume they know everything#i was in my mid-late teens when 'transtrender' videos were MASSIVE and i believed it!!! and i was Not nice about those people#all they made me believe was that being trans couldn't be colourful and comfy and fun. it just had to be Pain#i hope everyone who contributed to the 'you need to be this way to be trans' mindset knows how much hurt they've caused#nowadays i don't care. go and be stargender. we have actual problems to deal with not debates about neopronouns#anyway this was long. that's the story

doing this thing i call "reading every class high school lit book i missed out on" partially because as an english minor i feel like a lot of ppl in my english lectures have already read these books in higschool partially because high school english classes suck balls and i think the way they taught kids to read books was lame and dumb as hell and killed love for reading and i think some of these books they make kids read should never be experienced in a classroom setting
#the horror on my face when i talk to someone and they read catcher in the rye at an age below 16.... that should be a punishable offence#actually teaching catcher in the rye should be illegal. u are meant to experience that on ur own. that shit is between u and god.#the reason why i'm a separate peaceposting rn is because i see the homosexuality and analyze it for fun instead of being bored#if i had to read it in school i'd probably enjoy it less. imagine being quizzed on it. imagine having the themes spilled out for you. gross#if i got reading comprehension quizzed on any book i like i think i would kill myself in front of everyone forever#THAT'S JUST NOT HOW IT WORKS. AND WHY DO COLLEGES UNDERSTAND THIS BUT HIGHSCHOOLS DON'T#LIKE A 16-17 YEAR OLD HIGHSCHOOLER DOES NOT NEED TO BE READING QUIZZED LIKE 18-19 YEAR OLDS DON'T OKAY

i have this fic series i'm still working on where mihawk sort of becomes rayleigh's kid and spends ages 11-17ish on the oro jackson.
shanks and buggy imprint on him (bugs considers him a sort of older brother figure/sparring inspiration and shanks has a crush that eventually turns into full-blown love) and this is how i imagine they're like on the day mihawk sets off on his own haha.
#fic recs#dracule mihawk#akataka#mishanks#buggy#buggy the clown#shanks#akagami no shanks#red haired shanks#one piece#one piece fanart#op fanart#clearly my workaround to 'i should be working on my deadlines instead of doodling mishanks' is to finger-draw on my phone instead#on the plus side i'll never be tempted to go and fully render what was supposed to be a sketch#on the minus side i'm wondering if drawing with my finger takes up the same amount of time anyways.........#smh#anyways in this au i have this part planned where after shankd and buggy get into a fight over the chop chop#shanks comes crying to mihawk all devastated and annoyed and mihawk who is 16 and absolutely doesnt want to deal with a crying 12 year old#decides to fix things himself by showing buggy the pros of his devil fruit via forceful and incredibly harrowing sparring session LOL.#makes him see right away how much of a boon it is to never be able to get cut by a blade. it turns into an actually fun sesh#'cuz mihawk starts enjoying the challenge and the creativity and control and buggy starts wielding his knives in flying hands.#ends with mihawk berating him on how he treats his brother and how mihawk never wants to have to deal with shanks like that again#and also lowkey encouraging buggy by saying he's a resourceful kid and he's got people if he cant do things himself.#at this point in time shanks kind of wants mihawk to be his knight in shining armour so he's happy to hear what mihawk did#but mihawk is Fully Over bunking with two 12 year olds. ray please can he just set out on his own now. he's done it before. come on.#he is not a babysitter!!!!!!#tho these fics will focus mostly on hawk & ray jsyk#i digress

something very funny about roman spiraling and going on a firing spree, guiltily fessing up to his brother only to be met with instant support and validation, only for kendall to spiral directly after him and be met with roman completely unwilling to offer that same support in return. only, kendall goes up on stage and does completely fine and is lauded as a hero, meanwhile roman is left with the sinking feeling that he's not fine, that nothing he's doing is good or right or under his control, and now he doesn't even have "supporting his siblings" as a redeemable quality, because he went and fucked that too.
and of course by very funny i mean the opposite of that.
#and then his brother sent him a video of his dad telling him he always gets it wrong#succession#i have actual thoughts about this episode that have real substance but i'm not there yet. give me 12-16 hours.

"Don't you find it suspicious?" Barry asks Wally.
"Hm?"
"The attendees. It's such a weird hodgepodge of people."
"Really? Everyone here is well known in their fields of work."
Barry doesn't seem to believe him. Rude.
"It's true!" he insists, "Everyone here has at least two articles written about them."
"And how would you know that?" Bart asks.
"Because I actually read the news?" Wally says. That, and Dick let him in on the whole plan that's been cooked up. He's upset that he wasn't brought in earlier, but he's more than excited to watch the security footage from 'Phase One'.
Iris gasps mockingly. "You do? I don't believe it!"
Wally sniffs. "Believe it or not, Iris, I don't live under a rock."
"Could've fooled me!" Dick snorts from behind him.
Whirling around, Wally grins at his best friend. "Dick!"
"Hey, loser." He directs his attention to the other three at the table, "Mister and Misses Allen, it's nice to meet you. I'm Richard Grayson, but everyone calls me 'Dick'."
Bart snickers. "Unfortunate."
Dick grins and ruffles his hair. "What's your name, little man?"
"'m Bart Allen!"
"Nice to meet ya, Bart." Crouching down, Dick stage whispers, "Can I let you in on a secret?"
Bart nods.
"If you go back out the doors, turn left and there's another room there."
Bart playfully glares at him. "Try'n to get me to a secondary location?"
Dick shakes his head. "Well, if you want to hang out here with the boring adults..."
"Bye, Barry, Iris!" he calls, running - though it's closer to a slow jog for a non-powered person - off, leaving the room.
"You guys set up another room?" Wally asks.
Dick shrugs. "I know, when I was a kid, that I would've done anything to get out of this stuffy atmosphere."
"That's fair."
"Sorry to interrupt," Iris says, "But where did you two meet?"
The duo share a look. It's Dick who says, "I met him when he was visiting Bludhaven a while back."
Wally nods. "Yeah, he's with the BHPD; He got me outta some trouble while I was there."
"Trouble?" Barry almost laughs, "What happened?"
Wally blushes, clearly embarrassed. "Let's, um, not get into this right now."
Iris smirks. "Now, Wally, what do you have to be so shy about?"
This was not a story Wally wanted out. Fortunately, Dick was on his side. For now, at least.
"As much as I'd love to tell you how much cocaine got popped over his head," -he ignores Wally's indignant shout and punch to his shoulder- "I've got a few other people to meet. It was nice meeting you both. Please, I hope you enjoy."
***
There's a group surrounding Bruce, as is normal for galas, though it isn't intentional this time. Most of them are the One Percenter's that were invited to shift suspicions, but there are a few heroes and their families with him. Lois and Clark Kent being the most notable, though Oliver and Diana are here, too.
He's got eyes on his kids, too, making sure they're all okay. Like before, they all have comms in, but they're all umutted unless something happens. The noise, otherwise, would've been too much and obvious to the Supers.
Dick's just finished talking with the Allens, excusing himself and heading over to Donna Troy and Jackson Hyde are talking. Wally looks to be trying to follow after him.
Jason's off talking to Roy and Lian, though Dinah has her eye on them while Oliver's distracted.
Damian and Jon Kent are already walking out of the room. Because dinner's been served and eaten, he doesn't call his son back.
Tim and Duke have been gone for the past few minutes. They'd both left the ballroom as soon as they could, probably off to the room they'd set up away from the boring monotony of the gala. Most of the teen heroes were gone, too.
Cass and Steph are oth talking to the three reporters, though the two from social media seem more interested in online gossip than the Daily Profit reporter.
"Mister Wayne!" Lois greets, pulling his attention back to the group around him, "Are the rumors about you and Batman true?" There's a gleam in her eyes as she speaks. She knows something. She probably knew his secret the second she saw the wax seal. Good. More things to hold over Clark's head.
Bruce smiles at her. "What rumors?"
"That you hate each other." she says, "You've said, on record, that you think Batman does good for this city just in the wrong way; and there's rumors that he's said that you do good work, too, but he just doesn't like you."
He fakes hurt so obviously that everyone can tell he's either joking or he doesn't care, "Batman doesn't like me?" Shocking information, that is. Imagine that.
"That's only speculation, Mister Wayne."
"Please, Mister Wayne was my father, just as Misses Wayne was my mother. Please, call me 'Bruce'."
"Alright, Bruce. Would you mind explaining your thoughts on Batman? He's Gotham's hero, so why don't you like him."
"What is this, an interview?" he jokes. It falls flat, though the people around him chuckle, as social rules demand. "Miss Lane,"
"Please, it's 'Lois'."
"Lois, then. You're here as a guest, so why do you insist on working?"
She smiles sheepishly, though she doesn't back down. "I'm a reporter through and through, Burce, I can't help it."
He chuckles, "Well, then I guess I can help you put these rumors to rest." He pauses for a moment, feigning putting his thoughts together. "While I do think that Batman is doing good for Gotham, I can also see the flaws in his design. After all, he's only one man."
"Oh?" one of the others in the crowd around him asks, "Have you met him?"
"Only once; he saved me when I had been kidnapped a few years ago," the Gothamites in the crowd nod knowingly, though Luther - who's sneering not-so-subtly - shakes his head, "just after Robin appeared, I believe. And I think that's the thing I hate about him the most."
"Hate?" Oliver, who's near the back of the group, wonders. Diana must recognise his voice because she looks over at him and doesn't look away. Point Bruce.
"He never should've brought a child into his line of work. I can never forgive him for that." Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Dick and Jason both share a look. He's speaking loudly, so he isn't surprised they hear. He means it, though. "Back to what I was saying, though! Batman does good work, but there are other solutions he's either overlooking or choosing to ignore."
"Such as..?" Lois prods.
Such as murder. That goes against his Code, but he's considered it. Though he walks a gray line, Kal is there as his moral compass. It wouldn't do to upset his best friend like that. Torture is also a solution, but that's also off the table, though Diana is the reason for that.
"Now, now, Miss Lois, I think it' time we leave this discussion for now. It's been a while since I was last in Metropolis; how's your own city's hero doing?"
Subtle, Bruce.
Lois looks deeply into his eyes, and whatever pieces she'd been missing click into place. She laughs, "He's doing well, though I haven't been reporting on him lately. That's all Clark."
"Have you met Superman?" Miss. Crowne asks, pulling the conversation along.
Clark shakes his head. "Only once, but not nearly long enough to get a comment." Luther looks slightly upset. Loser. "Though I'd love to talk to him some more. Have you ever met Batman?"
The answer is no. Batman makes a point to avoid civilians who aren't victims or Commissioner Gordon. However, Miss. Crowne says, yes, she has met Batman, though he didn't stay long for a talk. She seems to be proud of [not] meeting Gotham's resident cryptid, though her wording entices Oliver to speak up.
"Cryptid?" Oliver asks.
Miss. Crowne nods enthusiastically. "Yes! No one knows where he came from or where he goes at the end of each night. One day, he just showed up, and he's been here ever since."
She continues to spin a fantastical tale about what Gothamites think about Batman and his Birds. Bruce smirks behind his drink. This reveal is going to be really funny.
***
Down the left hallway from the ballroom, by the bathroom, is the sitting room that was chosen as the 'kid's room'. As soon as dinner had ended and the mingling had started, the Wayne children had spread the information about the second room to all of the heroes that had kids with them. Arguably, this room was much more fun than the ballroom.
Tim and Duke had been the first two to leave the ballroom, mostly so that there was actual security in the sitting room. Duke didn't have a team affiliated with the Justice League, so he mostly floated between the sitting room and the ballroom, like Cass and Steph, but Tim was almost a permanent fixture in the sitting room.
The entire team knows who Kon and Bart are, so thy stuck pretty close to each other as the only familiar faces in the party aside from their families. They left the ballroom soon after Tim and Duke did.
Cassie came in a few minutes later, Andy Curry toddling after her, though it didn't seem like she'd noticed.
Tim meet Cassie at the snack table. "Cute kid," he said, looking over her shoulder, "She related to you?"
Cassie didn't jump, though it was a close thing. She turned to Tim before looking behind her. "Nope."
Humming, Tim crouched down to pick up the toddler. Andrina 'Andy' Curry. Arthur and Mera will be missing her soon. "My name's Tim Drake," he says to both Andy and Cassie, though he coos, "What's your name, hun?"
Andy giggles as e boops her nose before picking her up and standing. "A-dy!"
"'Andy'?" he repeats, "Where're your parents, Andy?"
She points to the door. "Dat way!"
"That way?" Cassie says, also pointing to the door, "Why'd you leave them?"
Andy stuck her tongue out. "Bo'ing!"
Tim stifles a laugh. "Can you tell me your last name, sweety?"
"Cuwy!"
"Curry?" Cassie guesses.
"Yeah!" Andy nods happily.
Tim nods. "Let's get you back to your momma, okay, Andy?"
"Boo!" she shouts, gripping his shirt tighter. Cassie laughs.
Shooting his friend a small glare, he says, "You gotta tell your momma where you are or she's gonna worry!"
Andy's face fell, distraught. "Momma sad?"
Seeing the tears, Tim hurries to say, "No! No, no,no! Hunny, she's not sad, but she will be if we don't go say 'hi', okay?"
Andy nods, her eyes still watery, but she wasn't crying, so Tim would take the win."
Cassie follows as Tim leaves the room. "You're pretty good with kids."
"You think?" Tim chuckles. It was part of his Robin training.
"Yeah, though I don't know how you're going to find her parents in a room of people."
Tim looked at her from the corner of his eye. "I memorise faces pretty easily," he says, "And I made the guest list, so they should be easy to spot. Especially if they've noticed Andy here missing."
He nods at Duke as he passes into the ballroom. Cassie waits outside for him.
Just as he said finding Arthur and Mera Curry was pretty easy. They were talking to Dinah Lance, Mister and Misses Elliot, Jason, and Roy and Lian Harper. It didn't seem like they'd realised Andy was missing yet, so this was going to be a fun conversation.
"Excuse me?" he said, placing his hand on Arthur's shoulder, "Sorry to interrupt, but Andy here was wandering off on her own, so I figured I should bring her back to you."
Mera turned, gasping a bit, though it was probably mostly for dramatics. "Andrina!" Gently, she takes the toddler from Tim's arms, "You were supposed to be with Jackson! Why did you wander off?"
"Bo'ed." Andy huffs.
Arthur chuckles. "Thanks for bringing her back, ..?"
"Tim Drake," he offers his hand for a handshake, "I'm Jason's little brother."
"Squirt," Jason acknowledges, "You sticking around?"
He shakes his head. "Nah. I'm gonna go back to the sitting room."
"What?" Roy chuckles, "Too important to stay with adults?"
Tim raises his eyebrow challengingly. "Andy had the right idea. You adults are pretty boring."
The entire group laughs as he excuses himself, leaving the room quickly. He meets Cassie just outside the door.
"I'm Cassie Sandsmark," she says, holding her hand for a handshake.
Tim accepts, "Tim Drake."
"I know. You're pretty famous, y'know?"
He groans. "Don't remind me, man."
"Not all it's cracked up to be?"
"Not even close."
Cassie laughs and Tim joins her. It'll be a weight off his shoulders when his team finally knows him in and out of costume. Though, he knows they'll be hurt at first, they'll more likely find this prank hilarious, especially when he shows them the Cave footage of Phase One.
He and Cassie find Bart and Kon in the same corner as before, though they both have food and there's more people in the room.
"Hi," Tim greets, "I'm Tim Drake. I'm glad you could make it!"
"Connor Kent," he then points to Bart, "That's Bart Allen."
"Cassie Sandsmark," she says.
They all shake hands and merge conversations. For a moment, Tim can imagine that there's no secrets between them.
Eventually, the conversation turns to the Gotham Vigilantes.
"You know the rumors, don't you?" Tim says.
"What rumors?" Kon asks.
He watches his teammates for a seconds before glancing around the room and leaning in to whisper conspiratorially. They lean in as well. "That the Bats and his Birds aren't human."
There's a pause.
"Excuse me?" Cassie blinks.
Tim nods. "No one's quite sure where or when Batman showed up. And the others? None of them seem quite human. Some people think that Batman was created by the sheer amount of magic that's cursed the city."
Bart tilts his head to the side. "Gotham's cured?"
"Yep! Didn't you know that? Can't you feel it?"
"Drake," Damian says from behind the three heroes, startling them, "What are you doing?"
Tim shrugs, leaning away from his friends, "Telling my friends about the magic in Gotham."
"Tt. Baseless assumptions."
"Half of the rogues in the city are undead."
"What?" Kon half exclaims.
"The other half have PhDs in different fields." Damian refutes, "Your point?"
"Yeah, that's fair." Tim agrees, "Konnor, Cassie, Bart; this is my little brother Damian. Damian, this is Konnor Kent, Cassie Sandsmark, and Bart Allen."
"Pleasure to meet you." He was not convincing in the least.
"Nice to meet ya, little dude," Kon smiles.
Damian scowls. "Do not call me little."
"Aww!" Bart coos, laughing, "He's so cute!"
Damian bristles like a cat. "I am not-!"
He's cut off by Jon Kent throwing an arm over his shoulder. "Dami!" he smiles, "You've met my uncle now!"
Cassie does a double take. "You're an uncle?"
Kon shakes his head. "Yep."
"Jon," Damian says, significantly calmer now that his friend is here. "Remove your arm from my shoulder or I will remove it from yours."
Tim clicks his tongue. "Don't be like that, Dami. Who's your friend?"
"This is my nephew, as your heard," Kon introduces, "Jon Kent."
"You're Clark and Lois's kid, huh?" Tim asks.
"You know my parents?"
"'Course," he shrugs, "They've covered quite a few of the events that I've been to."
"You say that as though that's something to be proud of," Damian snarks.
"Shove off, Baby Bat."
If anyone asks, the slip was purposeful.
The group freezes.
For a long moment, their little corner is silent.
"No fucking way." Kon swears. "Red?!"
Tim barely hides his snort. "Surprise."
Damian sighs. "Nice going, Drake."
"Oh, shove off, brat. I was gonna tell them anyway." Quieter, he says, "Though, the meeting I was arranging is redundant now."
"Hold on, hold on, hold on!" Bart interrupts, 'What's going on?"
Sighing, Tim leans against the wall. "B decided it was time to tell our teams our real names, but, in true B fashion, he's being dramatic about it. We've pranked the Justice League, and I have the footage if you wanna see."
Cassie holds up her hand to make him stop talking. It works. "You're Red Robin. Which means you're Robin."
"Yes." Damian confirms.
"That means that Batman is Bruce Wayne." she says. It takes a second for her words to really sink in. "What the hell!"
"Are you gonna keep freaking out, or do you wanna see what we did to the Justice League last month?"
"Are you bribing us?" Bart asks, almost apauld.
"Is it working?"
"Yes."

wip posting just to get something out there, and it's def a mixed bag!! the only thing more inconsistent than my posting schedule is my art style RIP
#wip#yapping below#1. sinnohtrio group pic where nothing bad has happened yet... dedicated sinnoh post coming soon#2. personalizing dawn and lyra's togekisses with different coloring and markings based on region. there's lyra's omelette :]#3. timeskip red and leaf except it's just pikachu#4. top left is all the assets i made for my cs final project! a little cherrim themed browser game#then there's sprites for my champion dawn; cool concept methinks but it's definitely a work in progress. peep the giratina hairclips#some vaugely lugia/ho-oh inspired protag ideas for a hgss sequel#anddd a bunch of background doodles. goldenrod flower shop and a very saturated mt. silver#in timeskip there shall be a proper town at mt. silver's base to officially bridge kanto and johto (and make lyra's work commute easier)#5-7 is me spitballing ideas abt pokemon biology#dratini & dragonair are forever sea snakes to me!!! though i do enjoy the amphibian interpretations#also i didn't know dragonite island was already a thing from pokeani... rip wyverse dragon master lore#i think crobat looks goofy no matter how you stylize it. silver and his big bumbling bat that insists on grooming its trainer. so unserious#there's a togekiss page too but then i remembered egg groups are a thing so i'm revising parts of it#i spent so long trying to come up with a reasonable wing-to-body ratio for togekiss and crobat. literally useless when dragonite can#apparently fly around the globe in 16 hours. are you Kidding me. dragons weren't even merging with jet planes until gen 3.#OK that is all. sorry for the lack of uploads wah#i'm like a ferret hoarding all my doodles until the quantity > quality lever switches in my brain to give the 👍 to post#i did made a spam blog but who knows if i'll actually post on there lol! probably for non-pkmn related stuff

WIP Game
Rules: You will be given a word. Share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that start with each letter of that word.
Tagged by @cerealboxlore
My Word: Marvel
I decided to use chapter 16 of LoF for this because I've been working on it today teehee
M- "Maybe because it was because Peter was introducing Loki and Dick for the first time, and he remembered what the Bats thought about the God."
A- "Also, it would make Thor sad, so I’d ask that you not kill Loki. Because you totally could, I believe you.”
R- Resurrection?
V (I don't have a V sentence 😔💔)
E- "Everyone needs backup at some point, fighting alone doesn’t help anyone. But especially someone Peter’s age. He’s done a great job at taking care of himself and this situation, but that doesn’t mean he has to. We’re more than happy to take some of the burden. And this is how we operate. If you don’t like it, or if your Avengers don’t like it, then they can take it up with me.”
L- Loki got a kick out of that part of the story. At one point, he created an illusion of little action-figure sized Batman, Robin, Nightwing, and Spider-Man on the dashboard, and had them re-enact the scene as best as Peter could tell it. “For the visuals.” Loki had smirked. And he had asked Dick, “What do you think? They look just like the real thing, no?” To which Dick had replied “Why did you make my head so big?” and Loki had sworn that his head just looks that big normally and he ‘Didn’t do anything to the illusion, really, Grayson, do you think so little of me?’ Which made Dick’s eye twitch.
I'm tagging @mockingjaylad !!! :3 your word is "BIRD"
#this was fun!#did it while taking a brain break#the last two being excerpts was because i was gonna share them anyway#honestly debating if the resurrection part even be brought up right now#actually i'm eyeballing my draft and wondering if i need to rewrite half of it#erinwantstowrite#ao3#ao3 fanfic#leap of faith ao3#chapter 16
