You know what we need? Batfam Bloodbourne au
Preferably where they're all sent to The Dream but separately and when they all kill gherman and become baby great ones they come back to Gotham and it's Their Dream now. Just Gotham or the world and Gotham is Home and the most like Yharnam, up to you. But I'd love to see them struggle through the brutality, or make peace with it quickly for some (in my mind Tim would be the most stable, Jason would be okay but not great, Tim just seems so,,, adaptable to me, the most insatiable for knowledge so the most accepting of the consequences of getting that knowledge, pros outweigh the cons kinda deal) with the way others were changed and just unsavable. The people of Yharnam are beasts now and the kindest way to deal with them is to put them down even if it's not permanent. And then come out of it irrevocably changed themselves, more than just mentally. The effects it has on them and the world around them. How The Dream ended, but theirs just began and what if it starts in Gotham and slowly spreads? But they're the only great ones in this world so there's no old blood to corrupt people but that doesn't stop death being...odd. Unless they share their blood in experiments to Know what it would do and if they can use it safely for those they care about. (mad scientist Tim my beloved)
Do you see my vision? It's beautiful
It's wonderful.
Like no joke, I adore Bloodborne, I Love it (Even if I can't play it thanks to getting distracted by all the details in the surroundings & then get murdered lol)
And I wouldn't say Tim is the most adaptable, they all are, but Tim? Compartmentalizes, looks at things logically, straight up turns off his panic at times like it's a switch. But I am also very weak to mad scientist Tim. Even if they probably don't let him do human experiments (not that it stops self-experimentation sometimes)
Gosh I love this. Them still ending up found-family while these utterly horrible things happen around and to them. I wonder if they sometimes take a moment in the dreams and whisper about what they remember before this Living Nightmare. Names they don't know the faces of but know they were important to them. Memories they cling to as they try not to lose what is left of their humanity.
Oh my god, them being the only Great Ones after killing the previous ones? Wonderful idea, I adore it. I bet even if they can take human form still it would be... off. And the more one's Insight is? The more they can see that they're Other.
God the imagery of like, Gotham's moon always being red and thick fog settling across the city each night as their Dream begins is amazing. And I bet that they relish it. I bet they're relieved for normal murder and crime, compared to the Plague of Beasts they had been dealing with what felt like years. Time gets so meaningless with an Endless night full of Deaths over and over.
I bet Gotham looks even more Gothic than before. Actually, you know what? This would be perfect for a No Man's Land situation. For the city to be abandoned only to be held afloat by newborn Gods who no longer quite understand the humans, not with how long the Hunt has stretched on, but care all the same. Idk I just really like this idea in general lol. I am weak to eldritch AUs and Bloodborne is glorious.

Use this as an excuse to dump a bunch of Hatchetfield headcanons, go nuts dude
YEAAAA
(I want to say that Melissa is mentioned in this. Jus in case someone is uncomfortable with Hey Melissa references)
The nerds have a groupchat. Grace sends "Jesus loves you!" gifs every morning, and also a bunch of praying emojis constantly.
This one is just silly and nothing serious, but sometimes the Lords in Black when they are in human-like forms they like to play pretend and mock humans. They usually act as if they were siblings to make fun of that.
Ruth Fleming is a Tim Minchin and Bo Burnham fan. Her favorite songs are definitely Confessions, High School Party and Nerds (Studio)
Ted Spankoffski is ALSO a Tim Minchin fan. This one is unexplainable honestly, my brain just told me this hc and I went with it, but look, it makes sense to me. His favorite song is Beauty.
Shopper #4 has committed multiple crimes. Mainly tax fraud. I have no reasons for this one, I just know it.
People from Clivesdale know what Hatchetfield says about them, but they think it's in a fun way. They think that Hatchetfield residents pretend to hate them for the funsies and Clivesdale does it back in a playful manner, but they don't know that Hatchetfield, does in fact, HATE THEM and it is not a joke for them. Fuck Clivesdale.
Grace is always carrying a little teeny bible in her backpack, it is so damn small.
Frank Pricely is TRANS. this hc started as a joke but I started to take it seriously at some point. It's just the idea of it that is so funny. Frank basically came out with a friend of his by saying "Can I be frank with you?” and like, he told his friend that he was trans BUT he didn't know with what name to go by and asked him to help him chose a name, his friend thought about it and since he said 'frank' because he said the ‘can I be frank with you’ thingy and Pricely actually liked the name and then LATER ON his friend realized how fucking funny his name was considering that Frank is the capitalist ever and his last name is Pricely.
Ruth forced Grace to watch Jesus Christ Superstar.
Charlotte and Sam don't have any wedding pictures, so they don't have any visual memories of that day.
Char and Sam were high school sweethearts.
Ruth, Richie and Pete like to make gift exchanges every christmas and they get the stupidest shit ever for each other. And for some reason Ted also participates sometimes.
Mr. Davidson sometimes likes to write poems for Carol. I have no reason for this headcanon, I just think it's cute.
Melissa has watched The Human Centipede and it's her favorite movie even if she won't say it. She may say that she has watched it but isn't explicit about liking it.
Deb owns at least over 6 different pairs of boots.
When Blinky and Pokey are in a human-like forms, Pokey sometimes plays fullass one-man-shows for Blinky for the funsies.
Richie loves energy drinks.
Oddly specific (hyperspecific) headcanon that I came up with as a joke but now I think it's way too funny to let it go: Sam has a Samsung phone ONLY in the TGWDLM timeline. In any other timeline he has a different one, but in The Guy he has a Samsung. I won't even explain why I think it's too obvious and it would ruin the joke if I do explain.
The nameless background characters that Lauren and Jeff are playing in La Dee Dah Dah Day are both non binary and are also dating. Idk, I don't have explanation for this one, I just went with the vibes.
Melissa has a fullass document dedicated to cat pictures.
In CCRP they sometimes play board games, Mr. Davidson is usually the one who chooses the game.
I can't think of more right now so YES I WILL REBLOG TO ADD MORE LATER!!

not sure how widespread of a take this is on here BUT i was talking about it in a discord channel today and thought id post, Batman to me has pretty much always been somewhere on the Aro/Ace spectrum. i know he gets married to catwoman sometimes and in most of the movies hes very much shown to be attracted to her (or rachel in the dark knight ig), but as good as most of those movies are the character is never REALLY Batman yk
basically its been shown over the years in the comics that Batman very much so doesnt care for women's advances on him, whether they be catwoman, batwoman (kathy kane in the 50's, not that godawful prologue to the killing joke movie), poison ivy, or whoever; and this has been used fairly frequently to argue that Batman is gay, which sure fine i can see that point i suppose but clearer to me is that Batman doesnt have any interest in fucking ANYONE, let alone the scantily clad or leather suit femme fatales in his life. Batman doesnt have TIME for love or sex or whatever, he has time for his FAMILY sometimes (alfred, dick, ((GRAYSON, THE CHARACTER)), jason, tim, damian, and/or the other 200 bat people), or MAYBE his friends (superman and/or the justice league), but 99% of his time Batman cares about 3 things; Justice, Vengeance, and Being The Knight.
i mean cmon the man is barely even interested in being a Real Fucking Person; anyone who's a fan of Batman knows that Bruce Wayne is the Real "mask" and Batman is the true identity of the man. he cares more about stopping crime and villainy than sleeping or his company or anything someone like Clark Kent could ever possibly worry about. Anyone whos let their human identity fall so far from the rich boy standard to become nothing but The Bat i find HIGHLY UNLIKELY to want to bang the lady with the cat ears and skin tight suit robbing gotham museum #4987 for the umpteenth time.
i cannot possibly even begin to fathom a Batman who has any interest in anything sexual; now obviously there are exceptions like when he marries catwoman or most of the live action movies or even the Animated Series that more prominently features Bruce Wayne as an actual person, but Generally, as in the character and personality everyone thinks of when someone says BATMAN, i believe to be somewhere on the aro/ace spectrum.
of course he HAS had sex, damian wayne is proof, however its going to take a hell of a lot of convincing for you to tell me that damian wayne was born because of Batman's sexual attraction. (i mean i've not actually Read the specific comics that Damian comes from and such but it would feel very out of place to me personally, and to other people ive discovered) also yk theres a reason its referred to as an aro/ace spectrum right like. idk where exactly hed fall there but definitely somewhere on there based on my mostly surface level understanding of it, im not knowledgeable enough on it to really completely get across what im saying but im sure its clear enough.
Batman is just far too concerned with beating the shit out of any criminal he finds on the streets of gotham to bother with sex or relationships or whatever. thought id share my take
#batman#aroace#arospec#damian wayne#one of the key exceptions is The Lego Batman movie#that one ill concede lego batman is gay as hell. or bisexual if you think he was really attracted to wyldstyle at all ever

CREEPYPASTA HEADCANNONS
Okay so this is going to be just a few characters to start with, but I will definitely make a part two which has more characters!!
(This post includes Jeff the Killer, Ben Drowned, Eyeless Jack, Laughing Jack, Ticci Toby, Homicidal Liu)
(Also don't get mad at me for this post. ITS MY OPINION and you do NOT have to agree with it)
Jeff the Killer
• Okay so Jeff fans are WILD so please don't kill me if I say something you don't agree with☠️
• He is really proud of his new face. (I always see people say he is insecure of it but it's stated in his story that he thinks it's beautiful)
• He re cuts his face everytime it TRIES to re-heal
• His face cuts are VERY infected
• He isn't exactly close with anyone in the mansion but he gets along with Toby the most
• May act like he doesn't but he really does regret what he did to Liu
• Has attachment issues after what happened with Liu (he lost him and he was so close with him
• Definitely listens to old good Charlotte, all time low, and maybe even some never shout never
• Has bad trust issues
• Gets mad very easily
Ben Drowned
• Is pretty childish since he was 12 when he died and never really got the chance to mature
• Is close with sally (even though it took her a while to get used to any male presence and she still hates it) and they prank people together
• He loves Apple juice (idk why I think this😭)
• He does stuff to purposely annoy people such as poking them over and over again
• when he gets mad he side eyes people and tells them to shut up
• You will hear him raging at random times at night because he lost in a video game
• I think he gets more annoyed than he does mad like he will roll his eyes if someone is irritating him
• Sassy 12 year old
• Is OBSESSED with Halloween because he loves the way people in the mansion celebrate (some of them go outside in their normal outfits and trick or treat just to bring home candy for the younger ones of the house. Since they all look like they are in a costume)
• I know this is super stereotypical but he definitely listens to hyperpop since it replicates computer-typeish music and tones
Eyeless Jack
• He doesn't have eyes, but HE CAN SEE
• Sometimes when he is out of kidneys and is hungry but doesn't feel like hunting, he will teleport to hospitals and use his invisibility skills to take kidneys from transplant sections (if that's what they are called)
• He still feels human emotions but just has a hard time expressing them since he wants to forget his past
• Has SEVERE trust issues and it would be shocking if he EVER trusted a human again
• Feels sympathy for Ben (if we are talking about the Benjamin Lawman sacrifice story) since he was also killed/sacrificed by a cult
• Don't get me wrong he loves killing/torturing humans, but sometimes he only wants a kidney and when they wake up he dreads it
• Is VERY quiet and polite (when around other creepypastas obviously) and doesn't really say much
• I feel like he definitely listens to 2014 music that you would hear on road trips (example: Safe and sound - capital cities, am I wrong - Nico and Vinz etc.)
Laughing Jack
• Is TERRIFYINGLY TALL. APPROXIMATELY 8 FEET TALL. Scary
• I weirdly feel like he sounds like tiny tim and pennywise combined
• Definitely thinks everything is funny since he used to be an actual clown and still hasn't forgotten those ways fully
• Listens to old classical music and 1920s-40s music such as tonight you belong to me - patience and prudence, and livin in the sunlight lovin in the moonlight - Tiny Tim
• Ben always try to prank him and he gets mad because he feels like he should be the one pranking
• Extremely scary and quiet most of the time, but he has very frequent mood swings that could have him jumping off the walls (literally) to just sitting on the floor staring
• Doesn't get along with anyone in the mansion except for Candy Pop and Jason the Toymaker
• Doesn't sleep and only eats the organs he pulls out of his victims
• Hates Issac because he basically turned him into this monster
• Has abandonment issues severely
• Is definitely claustrophobic ever since he had to be in that box for that long period of time
• Has a wind up thing on his back and he will play music (since he is a jack in the box and also a stuffed doll)
Ticci Toby
• Does NOT like waffles
• Is NOT an "UwU smol bean"
• hates being treated like he is less just because he is a proxy
• Likes to be alone because it can be a struggle for him to communicate due to his tourettes (not saying they can't communicate just saying it can come as a struggle when talking to someone new because of stress and anxiety which is a trigger for most people)
• Has bad abandonment issues
•Will absolutely REFUSE to kill anyone who resembles his sister in the slightest unless slenderman tells him to (proxies can not refuse slender)
• He loves fall and nature and loves to see the leaves turn green to gold
• Wears a lot of sweaters (this is kind of canon)
• Doesn't really get along with anyone in the mansion except for Jeff since they both like to complain about stuff
• It's harder for him to feel human emotions since proxies kind of have all of that erased
• Is quiet and when people talk to him he kind of just nods and shakes his head in response to what they say instead of talking back
• Listens to old Owl City and All Time Low
• NOT emo😭 (I always see people say he is...)
• Everytime he sees a car he thinks of Lyra and has a mental breakdown. Anything he sees that remind him of her he can't deal with
• LOVES RACCOONS!!!!
• Definitely got bitten by a stray raccoon because he tried to pet it
Homicidal Liu
• He forgives Jeff even though he basically ruined his life
• Is very peaceful and kind of came to terms with all that happened
• Very quiet and laid back
• Doesn't like loud people/places
• Hates conflict since it reminds him of that day the fighting happened
• Has EXTREME trust issues since him and Jeff were so close and he just decided to attempt to murder him while he was sleeping on the couch
• I have a feeling him and bloody painter get along since they share a couple of traits that are needed
• But all of this changes when he turns into Sully it's a WHOLE different story then
• Loves Christmas and winter
Hello guys!! That's all I have today but I will definitely make more parts with more characters! I apologize for how long it took me to make this I have had school and SO much more boring daily life shit☠️ I hope you all have a good day!!! <33
I'm also 100% willing to do marble hornets and every man hybrid head cannons but I WILL include them in the creepypasta section!! I do know that they are not creepypastas I just like the headcannon that they all live in the mansion together 😭

Clark and Kon react to Autistic Reader.
[Teen Titans (2003-2011) #10]
So, you can 100% blame me staying awake at 02:40 because I can't stop cackling like a crow being waterboarded on @gatorbites-imagines and his/it's/xyrs kyrtontian's purring at a frequency that humans can't hear headcanon. I'm autistic, and I hear shit on the other side of the building, sometimes on a different floor.
Cw: Swearing, idk else, unhinged/ blunt replies ( R giving).
__Clark Kent__
Clark having his super hearing, I feeling like he hears distracting noises constantly but feels like he can't say anything about them.
So when he hears a frustrated voice say,' Can we please fix that god damn janitor's closet door on the floor under us!? It squeaks all day'.
Clark is shooketh, I don't put it past him thinking you are possibly kryptonian. Like he did with Shazam. Probably try to phish out info to see, but bad at being subtle.
'Why do you keep bringing up Superman??', 'Oh.. Well I mean, he is this City's hero'. You probably read his inquiring wrong, and believe he thinks your SuperMan.
'The reason has to why my hearing is above average, is because my autism makes me more sensitive to sounds. I promise you, I'm not Superman. I could not live comfortably with such a jarring unpredictable schedule.' , you word vomited, pitching the bridge of your nose.
'Oh.. uh I'm sorry if I made you upset', the more exhausted tone reminded him of Bruce a lot, when he bugged him too much. 'Its fine, just so many people make jokes about it. It can get old fast.'
Basically the mf would be balanced between panic and false hope of finding a relative he could keep on earth.
__Kon-el Kent__
I feel like he's got so use to no one being able to hear his purring, he doesn't care to suppress them. At times when he's to lazy to do this hair himself, he gets one of his friends to do it. Not worried.
He just enjoys the comforting feeling and begins to pur away. For the sake of it, let's say Tim was the victim of doing Kon's hair.
Tim would be the first to notice you walking around the common room, looking like you are going insane looking for something. Kon not really caring has he doesn't see it has important.
'Did you lose something?', Tim questioned, pausing shortly from combing Kon's hair. 'There is a sound and I don't know where it's coming from', you kept walking around the room listening.
Tim would try to reassure that you'll get use to the sounds of building, the more you stay. At some point, you walk over to where they were on the couch, and figured out it's coming from kon. 'The sound, it's coming from you!?'.
Kon would be so confused and Tim would be too, for different reasons. Tim doesn't hear it, Kon is not sure if you're referring to him purring or not.
'Huh?', 'You, it's coming from you. It sounds like a rumble or some shit'. Well fuck, he can't really play that off. 'You're not suppose to be able to hear it..', his tone resembling that of Oz media reading a cursed post.
'Hear what, exactly?', Tim feeling more like a third wheel in the conversation and wanting to be in loop. 'Kryptonian's have an organ that can make a sound, the best way I can describe it in human experience is a cat pur. But, we can only hear it.', Kon tries to summarize.
Tim would be the one that's extra, and suggest a DNA analysis. 'Tim I assure you, my mom used the excuse of popping me out of her, far too much for me of too be found in a capsule.', you then explained the autistic symptoms you have. Sensitivity to sounds being one of them.
This dose not stop Kon from jokingly referring to you has his sibling from now on. Which would confuse everyone that wasn't there to hear this interaction. Kon being Kon, he wouldn't explain it anyone, because he feels like that would ruin the joke.
_____________________________
Ha ha ha, it's 04:30 and I get up at 05:00. This is gonna fun.. but at least my dad feeds my caffeine addiction by giving me offerings of energy drinks, in hopes to encourage my autistic brain to be okay with doing the dishes, and other medial tasks.
#Crow!Writes#conner kent#clark kent#x male reader#x gender neutral reader#this is my first attempt at bullet point fanfic style.#autistic reader

More questions cause I took a nap and came back with some.
Are there other angels that have wings that are functional? Is Jay the odd one out as per usual or is it common?!?
(Are all angels bird themed? And are their wings?)
This isn't so much a question as I silly thought, do you think he's opened his second eyes instead of the first ones when he first wakes up? Or both? Cause idk I just see Tim looking over and there is a bleary Jay with not his normal eyes open.
THE FEATHERS!! Are they other bird feathers? Do Angels and well Jay mainly need help getting the casing/shell off? Usually birds do it themselves but if they can't they have friends and other birds as far as I've seen. (Or in cases of pets, they have owners help if they're trusting).
Onto Tim, How did he hide his mythicalness from the orderlies and nurses and doctors of the sort while in the Mental hospital? Did he? Cause you show him wearing really baggy jeans to hide his legs and boots and such. Like unlike Jay he can't put a sort of mask on.
Does shaving his horns down? Or does it only hurt once it hits that one spot like nerves and blood supply and such?
He's got big ears, does that mean he can hear Jay more easily? And to further that. (Do you think Jays heartbeat is different then a normal human?) You wrote in the notes he's terrible at pretending to be human.
I'm sorry if some of these aren't answerable or don't make sense, they came to me through sleep deprived naps.
(Last silly question, can we use your art for backgrounds? Like a home screen on our phone or the desktop?)
so excited to answer all these questions ^_^!!!! Big ass explanation post incoming!
So firstly, angels having non-functional wings are very common and there aren't any documated “supernatural” cases where angels have actually flown. An unusually short angel may be able to glide or hover up to a taller ledge like how some Galliformes do. An Angel’s wings are mostly there for display! To attract or repel and for communication.
Jay is, as usual, the odd one out though. Many angels are more light than feathes so when light passes through them the most you can see is their face, wings, bones, and whatever part of them are also feather. Jay is unfortunately way more feathered than the average angel, of whom actually don't have that much coverage on them besides wings and face. Also, most angels have a very ethereal appearance too them, they naturally walk with grace and elegance and have bird-like mannerisms while Jay is awkwardly lanky, clumsy, and unnerving. He does still carry the bird-like mannerisms though.
For the second question he wakes up sometimes with he second eyes, yeah 💀. It is a bit unnerving especially when Tim didn't even know the marks on his face were eyes on his human form.
On the question of maintenance and preening for Jay’s feathers and other angels. Angels, again, usually don't have as many feathers as Jay does and the most help they need is with their wings on the back. Jay struggles reaching his back, his nape, and his wings. It's only a little extra hassle but he's figured that using a brush or back scratcher is the best alternative he has since he doesn't visit his family that often and he can't really expose his forms to his friends. Besides, he's never been at that level of bonding and/or intimacy with someone to let them help preen him!! Alex was a close contender but yk, that didn't go anywhere so really the only people he trusts are his family. (Tim eventually does get permission to help out and touch his feathers but that's for a short while before entry 72). Also some angels resemble real birds while others may appear as a combination of some, others don't even look like they're belonging to a particular species especially in wing type. They're all very naturally colored though ^_^!
Tim is a long explanation because well, the hospitals knew about his whole mythical-ness. His mother was a satyr too but she was really good at hiding it and taught him how to hide it too. It wasn't that hard since his horns hadnt grown in and his ears weren't too big but he still had the issue of the slender sickness. It got so bad the school took notice and she had to admit him (not that she minded, she wasn't the best mother). It didn't take long at all for him to be discovered a satyr and since then he has been in and out of the mental hospital, going back and forth between medical universities for observation, tests, research, and then back to the mental hospital for his “condition”. They weren't really sure what to do about it and once the original facility he resided in burned down he was returned to his mother's care (with medication now obv) and placed in high school. After his freshman year, his horns started to grow and he went from wearing hats occasionally to wearing hats all the time.
Shaving his horns down doesn't hurt him unless he shaves it too far down, then it’ll start to bleed. He spends a shitton of time filing them down though cause its pretty hard to shave them with a nail filer.
He does have significantly better hearing than everyone around him so despite Jay being pretty quiet when he enters a room, Tim can almost always hear him. With the addition to that question Jay does in fact have an irregular heartbeat. It's way too fast sometimes and way too slow other times and if it's too fast then Tim can hear it, he gets concerned for the guy a lot.
Whoop and for the last question, yes!! You can use my art for wallpapers and/or background ^_^!!
#marble hornets#marble hornets au#jay merrick marble hornets#tim wright marble hornets#alex kralie marble hornets#big ass rant#sol rambles#sol rants#oooooohohoho if anyone asks about werewolves I'll go crazy for this au bc I have a LOT to say about those guys and a lot of lore to go with

This album has made me so… uncomfortable. I’ve been a Swiftie since Tim McGraw and I can barely listen to this album. Matty Healy is such a gross human being, and I understand that most women get manipulated by a mediocre looking man once in their life, but it did it have to be this mediocre man? I feel the same way about this album that I did about getaway car? I love getaway car, but I didn’t listen to it for a very long time. I don’t know if that makes any sense. He’s an incredibly gross human being. That’s putting it very mildly. I think we put Taylor up on this pedestal of having perfect judgment, and she’s human just like anybody else, but this album especially has made me realize how much we’ve made her out to be perfect? Idk. I have a lot of complicated feelings.
I completely understand your discomfort, anon.
A consolation here might be that Taylor knows Matty isn’t a great person. In her TTPD essay, she wrote, “A smirk creeps onto this poet’s face because it’s the worst men that I write best.”
As a fandom, we do put her on a pedestal. Over the years, I have tried to apply a critical lens to my interpretation of her lyrics and of her as a public figure. Unfortunately, my critical interpretations have not been received well by her fans which is why I don’t feel like I’m part of the Swiftie fandom.
However, the backlash I’ve received from swifties won’t stop me from using my critical thinking skills.
I’ve known for years now that Taylor Swift is problematic so this album didn’t reframe her character for me. If anything, it was refreshing to see her be honest about her flaws. This is also why I love anti-hero and dear reader. She has stated that anti-hero is one of her most honest pieces of work. Keeping this in mind, her petulance, defensiveness, cheating tendencies, and narcissism in TTPD did not come as a surprise to me.
Even though her latest music has reframed Taylor’s character for you, I encourage you to accept her as she is - a narcissist, Hollywood billionaire who grew up as a child star with controlling parents. It doesn’t mean she can’t write incredible songs about love and loss. However, it does mean that she is extremely flawed.
At the very least, she is self-aware, “Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all.”

3, 9 and 12 for the hater ask game <3
3. a screenshot of the worst take you've seen on Tumblr -- ooh I have a screenshot, hold on.
yeah. Granted, its an old post back when the Tim/Damian conflict was more recent (I think 2013/2014-ish) but it's still very emblematic of those kinds of Tim fans. The kind of fans who treat Damian (a child) as an abomination who will never change while still excusing Jason (a young adult/current adult). I still laugh at this, its so egregious. "Jason never tried to kill me" sure man. sure. "--in no way suggests he's changed his goals at all" uh huh. "im not coming back to the manor" okay. goodbye. I swear some people treat this era like Damian was trying to alien assimilate into the family and destroy only Tim's life on purpose. Because of course everything's about Tim, nothing can be nuanced enough to include the 10 year old's trauma and everyone's else's grief into account, and if you excuse the child's actions then you're advocating for bullying/bad parenting/sibling abuse /s.
9. worst part of canon -- simple answer, how writers will always rehash arcs and the same "explorations of a character." More complicated answer, I'm not a fan of the way supporting characters have been erased in current/modern comics. I don't like when those characters explicitly created to support the main character's plot lines and expand their world are either completely gone or so sanded down they're practically splinters of wood. Some examples, I see mentions of Tim's wider supporting cast that are gone (idk Ives sounds interesting), theres the fact Maya Ducard hasn't shown up until very very recently, Harold Allnut and Leslie Thompkins vanished into the aether, Waller got super-butchered etc.
12. the unpopular character you actually like/why you should like them -- hmm. Kind of hard to answer since I can't gauge the unpopular ones in wider fandom. Technically, every character has their haters- ah wait. hold on i'm receiving a vision. ITS THE PARENTS. No matter which side of the fandom its always the parents (TM) that get disparaged and raked through the coals. Willis and Catherine Todd, Janet and Jack Drake, Crystal Brown, Talia al Ghul, I could go on probably. Yes, I do actually like all of them. Willis's abusive nature was a retcon and even if it wasn't, its still rooted in classist ideas of "Poor man will inevitably abuse wife/child because he is poor and unsatisfied, something something he didn't work hard enough for capitalism." Willis can be a subpar father, but hitting his child shouldn't be the only aspect to explore. Jason tried getting revenge for his dad's death, he loved him, what you do with that is more interesting to me than "Willis sucked and Jason hates him and Bruce is better/Bruce is equally as bad and Jason also hates him." Catherine and Crystals addictions are often portrayed as "absent and not nearly there enough to provide their child protection." Catherine's sickness/addiction was super up to interpretation until it was retconned to "full blown drug addict". Crystal was being abused and trying. Children can resent their parents over this, but sometimes you need to look past the character and at the actual writer who wrote this into canon. Did they or did they not hold their own bigoted views and insert them into the comics because that's what they wanted and no one stopped them? Janet was dead before she could meaningfully warp Tim and by all accounts she was loving to Tim even when she wasn't always there. All of Jack's flaws are so utterly banal and human and a clear signifier of the 90's/2000's ideas of parenting that making him more than a slightly pathetic and macho-oriented man just...doesn't make sense to me. And I won't get into Talia because we'll be here for hours. I will say that Talia is truly in a lose/lose situation because people will hate her whether she actually has a hand in Damian's childhood or not. To me all of these parents can be nuanced and interesting to explore, especially in situations without their children. I like writing about Willis and Catherine's childhoods. I like exploring Talia's relationship with her father. I like thinking about Jack being hopeless and still having redeeming qualities and Janet being so loved by him it destroys him when she dies. I just think the idea of "parents before they were parents" is neat! I love thinking about the people they used to be before a child, because having children is so changing. Was Willis affected by his own parents? Did Willis actually know Lady Shiva as friends or was there some crazy backstory we'll never get? Did Catherine have her own hobbies and dreams, did she always want a child and accepted Jason as her own so readily because it haunted her for years? Did Janet go into archaeology for a specific reason, was it a family passion? Did Jack meet Janet and covet her intelligence and independence? Did Talia dream of becoming a world-renowned surgeon and having that be accepted by her father wholeheartedly, having her successes be her own successes?
Disclaimer: If you vent using DC characters then thats entirely valid! I'm just weirdly neurotic about accurate portrayals and in no way am I an authority on any of the above.

re:polyam, omg I am pretty sure we’re a similar age but how do I be you when I grow up
seriously though if you don’t mind sharing a bit about your experience, have you always known you would embrace da lifestyle, anything you wish you knew, anything you would change?
haha aw anon! 💕
mmmmhhmmmhm did i always know… kneejerk reaction is to say no, but i’ve also never had any real interest in ‘traditional’ relationships. i grew up in a single parent household and so i always had a model of happiness in independence. i’ve never ever dreamed of getting married or settling down or other ‘relationship escalator’ activities. when i was a babygoth, tim burton and helena bonham carter were my relationship goals because they lived separately but had their houses connected by a hallway or smth? idk i forget the details.
really though my transition into actually doing polyam for real was very very clumsy and full of mistakes. i hurt people i loved during the process and i desperately wish there were things i could have done over differently! but i don’t think that’s a feature inherent to polyam, it’s just the nature of humans being dumb fuckups sometimes (quitting drinking alcohol was also a major factor for me here in learning to not be a dumb fuckup anymore).
things i wish i knew: surviving financially as a (for all intents and purposes) single person is HARD. one of the most difficult times i’ve had wrt poly is when a partner bought a house w his primary long term girlfriend and i was like… i might not ever be able to afford this, because there’s only one of me. the world (certainly in the UK anyway) isn’t set up for one income. if you’re gonna do the solo poly type thing, you HAVE to think about this. also, the importance of talking bluntly about stuff and not just hoping they’ll read your mind (and vice versa)! and the LOGISTICS. i work two jobs (see point 1 above) and so just trying to fit everything in and see people regularly is a frustrating struggle sometimes.
but also, the good stuff: that seeing one partner somehow makes things feel fresh and sweet with another. how good it feels to be able to explore different facets of yourself with different partners. the sense of openness that comes with realising you don’t have to restrict yourself to one mode of being, that you can choose endless possible futures for yourself (and this includes the possibility that i might wanna settle down and be monog with someone one day! i doubt it, but i might!) andddd my favourite form of foreplay: discussing other people i find attractive with my partners. show me the porn you’re watching! tell me your fantasies about someone else entirely! tell me about the sex you’re having! idk i feel like people in the kind of monog relationships where it’s considered a cardinal sin to even admit the concept of finding other people attractive (and yes, i know, not all monog relationships etc etc) are really missing a trick here. oh my god it’s hot.

For the character ask game whose name I forgot… I am also requesting Jon if that’s alright. If not may I request Sasha?
Okayge sorry I'm answering Sasha first because ive got the brainworms right now. Thanks.
First impression: So the first appearance of Sasha we get is the Michael statement I think? Or the calliope bit. I don't really remember. Anyways I think i heard of her before in the fandom perhaps. I... Honestly don't remember what idea of her i got. Maybe that people missed her and wished she had more time lmao
Anyways, her first appearance rolled in and in addition to everything Jon said about her (that she was smart and competent) it struck me how much sheer main character energy i got out of her. She's brave too i feel like. I loved her dynamic with Jon! And her voice is so neat. Idk. I think it was love at first sight (first listen)
Impression now: So i don't feel like listening to the rest of the podcast changed my impression that much, cause obviously, yknow, she has no screen time LOL. But I explored her character on my own a bit i think. She's very only superficially analysed by the fandom i feel and it makes me sad :( anyways she's my wife and my prettiest princess and i love her and i want to wrap her in a blanket and give her everything good and turn her into an eye avatar and feed her innocents trauma lmao. I want only good things for her and she's not dying again on my watch :/
Favorite moment: I think it's when, during the prentiss attack, she gets out of document storage to save tim. It both shows how much she cares and also her absolute bravery and selflessness to the point of foolishness. We were all screaming for Tim to notice Jane. And this badass motherfucker was the one who actually went and jumped at him to get him out. Girl! Hell yeah! Also her quick thinking, she ran towards the exit after that. And the fire alarm... I love her discussion with elias after that, and her recalling her time in artefact storage... And then she dies. The best really are gone first (this says a lot about martin i guess lol. SORRY XD)
Unpopular opinion: So like, you know in episode 161 or 162 when she's talking with tim and she says it could never have worked between them? I feel like a lot of people saw that and went "she's aro" and like power to you obviously hc what you want but i feel like basing it on this singular piece of dialogue is. Meh. Like... Sometimes two people who are hot and smart and funny and nice and allo and get along well just won't work romantically and. That's fine that's normal. Idk yeah that's just that. My hot take!
Idea for a story: gosh. Ummmm. Need to come up with a new one. It's about sasha... And... Okay i want her to interact with elias. What are they doing? Okay okay NO i think sasha and the not them should argue and maybe pull each other's pigtails. In heaven or hell or purgatory or the inside of sasha's mind whatever. I think that would be quite fun.
Favorite relationship: you know what? I was all for Michael & Sasha's fun little thang and I still am. Bite me.
Favorite headcanon: mmmh. I think she would be an excellent eye avatar and wouldn't have many qualms with losing her humanity. I don't think she cares about hurting people because she digs into their lives, at least if it's people she doesn't care about. Like she's nice to her friends, but everyone else? She might actually be a bit of a bully and I am all for it.
Thank you for the ask!!!; i mighte do jon later maybe idk. Bye for now.

I then get to write a Tim Drake twelve issue maxi where I bring back Tim's civilian friends in a fun but serious story about starting to grow up, and by the end Tim has a new identity.

For the ship thing. I want Simi. But....make it Dragon au.
enjoy :D
who hogs the duvet
it’s definitely seb, he loves the softness of the blankets all around him! kimi is much much more comfortable with sleeping without anything (the perks of being finnish)
who texts/rings to check how their day is going
mmm actually i think actually both? but mostly kimi because he is usually very worried and protective over seb! (and seb is the only person that actually can make him willing text or call someone, true love <3)
who's the most creative when it comes to gifts
it’s kimi and we both know it, he loves to add things to seb’s hoard and the gift are always super meaningful!!! i love u childhood teddy bear i haven’t forgotten about u 😭🖤)
who gets up first in the morning
seb, he usually is the one that has to literally drag kimi off of the bed (it’s either seb or the kids demanding attention usually)
who suggests new things in bed
two words: breeding kink (no i will not elaborate and yes i am embarrassed about this but come on it’s kimi’s fault)
who cries at movies
seb, especially during his pregnancies. the hormones are horrible
who gives unprompted massages
it was seb in the beginning BUT after the pregnancies (yes, i know again) it’s kimi doing it to seb (“because you deserve it for everything you do, seppi”)
who fusses over the other when they're sick
both, in different ways: seb is a very very big worried mother hen but he is usually very gentle, kimi is very authoritative and like “seb you have to take the medicines i don’t care about your protests” (which also matches with how seb and kimi are sick bc i think seb is more bratty and whiny while kimi is usually calmer and more subdued)
who gets jealous easiest
kimi. KIMI. for all their “ah ah red dragons” jokes, when people actually try to flirt with seb (way more common that people would think) he gets PISSED how dare ppl talk like that to HIS mate?!(seb was more jealous in the beginning btw)
who has the most embarrassing taste in music
i honestly have no idea, we all know seb loves 80s/90s rock (me too) while kimi likes more modern stuff? i always imagine seb “making fun” of kimi’s taste when he listens to rap or something, but then again seb did get taylor’s outfits sooo…
who collects something unusual
well, seb collects trophies/shiny stuff, kimi collects jewels (that he gives to seb). maybe it’s seb bc of the taylor stuff askdks
who takes the longest to get ready
i imagine seb because of the ✨insecurities✨ (and also the jewelry. did i tell you how much jewels kimi gifts him?)
who is the most tidy and organised
seb!!! he is the one that goes to dust his trophies and organize all his hoard everyday
who gets most excited about the holidays
probably seb? because he has all his family there (he loves going to his parents and talking with his siblings, being with them is very important to him) while for kimi (esp after the thing with his mum) the holidays are much more painful :(
who is the big spoon/little spoon
both as dragons and humans kimi is the big spoon and seb is the little spoon (sometimes they do switch tho they are not that fixed on it!)
who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports
both of them!!! ex f1 drivers and all, you know (they don’t argue about it tho)
who starts the most arguments
they don’t argue much but sometimes it’s kimi (he doesn’t do it intentionally, it’s just that he gets really overwhelmed sometimes and he is a bit aggressive?)
who suggests that they buy a pet
they don’t have pets in the au… but it would be kimi he loves dogs so much
what couple traditions they have
flying together!!!
what tv shows they watch together
not a tv show but idk why they definitely watch documentaries about everything skdks
also anything with dragons so they can shit on it
what other couple they hang out with
i know it’s stupid but the ones they are friends with 😭 (like norstappen, charlos, lewis and his partner, nando and his partner)
how they spend time together as a couple
they do a lot of stuff together, being mates and all! they talk, they cuddle, they spend time together in silence too, all those couple stuff. also they shift and go fly together a lot, and they spend time with the kids!
who made the first move
it was kimi, after he saw seb flying away! and yes, seb was shocked the whole time
who brings flowers home
kimi!!! he knows seb loves flowers and nature and he loves to give him gifts as well (even if they aren’t shiny)!!! in particular i think he gives him sunflowers :)
who is the best cook
it’s seb! i think he loves cooking both for kimi and the kids because they always compliment him a lot (and we know he loves compliments)
i am insane about them btw akdjsje

you mind sharing you thoughts on dc x genshin? maybe some gunbug as well 👀?
I have two major genshin x dc aus
My archon bats au
And my jaime gets transported into teyvat au
With some ramblings about jason and jaime playing genshin together thrown in lmao
My archon bats au is my biggest one
This is going to be Long
This is all of the art that ive done for the archon bats au recently, i also posted abt it earlier but eh, beams it down
I also messed around with some of their titles
ALSO their "god names" are their vigilante names basically
Like dick would be referred to as nightwing in worship by the church of mondstat
Anemo archon dick because of the whole performing aspect as well as yk FLYING graysons, i had to
Also he can save people from falling now hehe
Geo archon jason bc zhongli was brutal during the archon war
Electro archon talia bc the ideals of eternity feels very much like something that talia would lean towards, and then that leads to damian as wanderer, which is very OW I love it so much
Lil baby duke which i partially pulled from batwheels as the dendro archon, he's the first one i thought of and nahida has a thing about analogies and what's analogies but poetry
Tim as furina is just AAA gives me life, he's Red Robin's humanity and has to play the part of being a god and instead of being behind the camera, he's in front of it, and he's hoping that none of the thousand words that a picture is worth sees through him
Bruce as the hydro dragon sovereign is kinda a no brainer bc he's all JUSTICE and impartiality and also the melusines are his CHILDREN istg he cannot stop being a parent
The archon quests would pretty much play the major beats the same, but the small details would change, like dick doing trapieze and aerial stunts instead of being a bard like venti, or jason being careful with his spending and paying attention to how much mora he uses and makes, or inazuma being based off nanda parbat
ANYWAYS onto my jaime genshin au
Basically during a fight he gets thrown through a portal to teyvat with no way out on his end
Khaji is dormant for a while, so he's mostly on his own
He settles into liyue and gets a primary job as yanfei's law partner and does odd jobs just for extra mora on the side
He travels sometimes, but he can be content a little, given that he gets a grasp on how teyvat works and how theres not really targetted dimensional travel
He gets a vision, his ambition of practicing law carrying over, and he would basically be like a anemo claymore yanfei, if that makes sense, if he were in the game his stacks would carry over and become yanfei's stacks if that would even work idk im just brainrotting
He's kinda an oddity but not really as known as a traveler as much as, well, the Traveler
He's just vibing and surviving until the justice league notice and pinpoint him and collect him jaja
Onto my gunbug genshin stuff
Jaime's main team is cyno, yanfei, chevrus, and lisa, and in coop it's just cyno and yanfei
Jason's main team is navia, nahida, kokomi, and hu tao, in coop it's chevrus and hu tao
Half the time jason brute forces with just navia and since he has her built it works
Jason goes to jaime's world while jaime's farming scarabs and he just hears gunshots as jason mows down sumpter beasts while farming meat bc surprise, jason loves cooking in genshin
Jason's favorite area is flueve sindre and jaime's favorite is between port ormos and chenyu vale
They absolutely take the boat rides in chenyu vale together in coop
Its law
Jason is a dramatic mf and whenever he has coop turned on he changes his pfp and card and signature to be a character and then just sits at a place where the character frequents
Like sitting chevrus at a bar in fleuve ceandre
Or navia in Poisson
Gunbug in general is just AA they're so jsjsj
Ive seen jason as a social worker and jason as a social worker with jaime as a lawyer is so AAAA
Jason and jaime stumbling into their shared apartment after patrol and jaime cusses him out in spanish while patching him up bc jaime has a healing factor and jason doesnt but acts like he does and it is infuriating JASON BENDITO SEA DIOS
Like jason will STEP IN FRONT OF JAIME AND TAKE THE HIT FOR HIM
Jason is turning jaime grey jajaja
Tysm for the ask im currently going feral
#rose finch fic rambles#jaime reyes#jason todd#gunbug#jaime reyes x jason todd#jason x jaime#jaime x jason#blue beetle#jason todd x jaime reyes#red hood#blue beetle genshin au#bat archons au

So I had a thought
In Harry Potter there are a good amount of mixed people (not just racially) like half giants, half goblins, people with veela blood, a child with a werewolf parent, etc.
So ya know how I am doing an hpxdc crossover series?
What if Lex, frustrated about being unable to make a stable superclone, somehow got Harry's DNA and made Conner that way? Like Wixen are super compatible with other beings that are human shaped but are humans themselves.
So Harry ig goes to Gringotts to set up something for Tim and the goblins are like what about your other kid and he's like what other kid???
So finding out about Conner and what lex did and if Clark acts all idk this is weird Harry is like Bruce we got a free Baby! He doesn't even ask Clark for child support but he does ask if he wants visitation
Now that send me down like does Conner have magic? Does he go to Hogwarts or Illvermony because lex didn't know Harry is a wizard (he knew he used Magus DNA but thought he was like Zantanna and Harry is fucking offended) and he doesn't know about the wizarding world so Harry has to speed teach Conner (who is a fast learning baby "omg baby you are so smart just like your brother!" "Which one?" "Jason, obviously!""?????isn't he...adopted???")
The way Tim would be jealous Con gets to go to magic school and oh God what house to put this boy in??? I have never been super into kon so maybe Slytherin or Gryffindor. He's smart but doesn't seek knowledge like Jason or Bruce or Tim does. He is a hard worker but like he doesn't give Hufflepuff like Dick does. He is cunning sometimes like a Slytherin but it would be funny if he's the only one of Harry's kids to go to Gryffindor lmao
I still don't know if I want to ship him with Tim or m'gann. Maybe he stays single or God forbid he gets with a Weasley lmao. Oh God if he got with Rose Granger Weasley or like Tim and Rose fight over him while Hugo just swoops in and steals him lmao
I have thoughts okay?

For the ask game, 19, 20, and 22?
whumper-dumps ask game
19. Opinion on all hurt no comfort?
20. Opinion on little hurt all comfort?
22. Most controversial whump opinion?
I've answered 19 here so I'll do the other two. Thanks so much for the ask, Tris! Appreciate it ^^
~
20. Opinion on little hurt all comfort?
Hmm... I'd say it depends. If the little hurt includes something like referring to a major traumatic event like an abusive episode or a torture event or soft things like sickfics, then yes. Y. E. S. I'm all for it. Gimme the feels and the comfort to go along with it. But if it's something like Character A got a bullet graze or had a little wittle panic moment, then... meh. Mid.
I want strong emotions. I read fanfiction for strong emotions. My brains needs to be constantly stimulated by strong emotions in order for me to live through another day without wanting to tear someone to shreds just because they chew a little too loudly. (Side note: I read somewhere that it's because of trauma that your brain is constantly stimulated and stuff, so... yeah idk what to say about that).
But when there's that underline of angst? *Claps hands and tears up, swiveling in my spinny chair* I love it.
If it's done right, then I like it even more than hurt no comfort.
22. Most controversial whump opinion?
I love talking about controversial topics.
To myself.
Or to someone who I know will agree with me.
It's not because I'm prejudiced, it's because I can't handle confrontations. But! I'm going to... try and share something because I did not think there would be controversy amongst the whump community, but I'm not surprised that there is.
Okay, after doing some research... I'm still at a blank.
Though I did come across some interesting notions between whump lovers and non whump lovers.
Some people think it's sick to torture a character with stuff like abuse and rape and everything. (Which just makes me question: It's okay if the torture seems unrealistic like an alien beam blast, but not what humans do every day like hit their kids? But anywayyyy.) Uh, well, there are a lot of reasons people do that. One article which I read on whump (can't believe there are actual articles about this, it's just so normal to me), said that a Tumblr blog said that whump is born out of love for the characters. You can do your own research on that one, cuz it'll take too long to explain.
For me, that's actually true. I love reading hurt tim drake fics because... well, im not completely sure. It's not because I get endorphins while seeing him in pain (except when I'm writing 🤭), it's also that I... like seeing him push through and react to the whump. I like how different authors have different ideas of how he would behave in not-so-ideal situations. I like how there are different ideas on which situations he would find himself in.
But most of all, I like seeing him in situations where he can get out. Where he can escape that situation. Where I cannot. The same goes with writing, I like imagining up whump situations because I can imagine that character also making it out.
There are so many reasons. Some of which are I like seeing Tim get the love and care after the whump sometimes because he deserves it, I like seeing Tim react to his situation with bravery because he's someone who is brave, I like seeing Tim be helpless in situations then have someone help him. It all resonates within me and I like it.
As for situations where I haven't been in, I like seeing him in those situations because I love his character. I love the way he reacts to environments because all the comics and other media are literally about him reacting to situations. Fanfiction is the same thing, except they're different situations with different people who have different ideas.
There's so much difference in the world, and I love seeing it.
The different which I don't like or don't agree with, I click out. It's as simple as that. I click out and either rant about it to myself while pacing my bedroom or write a counter fic and use moments which I didn't like in that fic and recreate it to what I like. But I'm not rude to the author of that idea, because... people are different! Ideas are different! Difference exists!
So, I think on the topic where people think some whump in general is bad and sadistic and gruesome, I think they're different too. They have their reasons, we have ours. Difference exists. And I've grown to live with it. So should you.
~
That was long, I was expecting some length, but not... this much. I love ranting. I don't get to rant much without being criticized, so this was great because I've never ranted about whump before except to myself. Thank you so much for the ask, Tristi! Enjoy discerning this mess! /lh
