Ok ok ok so hear me out. I've seen a lot of stories and prompts where the Joker is scared of Danny. But honestly? Big scary ghost? Whatever, doesn't phase him. He's seen scarier. He's done scarier. Try again.
But you know what has been actually proven to scare the Joker? The IRS. So imagine this man's utter horror when one day an IRS agent just appears in his hideout and lets him know that he still owes them money. The agent gives him a deadline to pay his remaining taxes then leaves.
Joker immediately starts scrambling. He needs to come up with this money fast. No way he's making an enemy out of the IRS. But before that, Johnny? Find my accountant and give him the most painfully funny death you can think of.
For the next few days, Joker is running around, trying to collect the remaining money that he owes but he still doesn't have enough. As the IRS agent so helpfully reminds him every time he shows up.
On the day of the deadline Joker is still just short of what he owes so he pulls out his trump card. Begging.
That's how Batman finds one deranged clown killer on his hands and knees begging for a loan or at the very least some protection and he is utterly confused. It's at that moment when a young man appears out of nowhere.
"I'm sorry. It looks like you still haven't paid all of your taxes," he says in a frighteningly cheerful voice before he grabs the Joker by his collar and drags him into the shadows.
#dp x dc#dc x dp#dpxdc#dcxdp#winter's tales#you know what they say#if you can't beat them join them#or in danny's case agree to work with them to make up for some of the trauma his parents put them through

So, I haven't really made up my mind about Palworld yet, but one thing I am VERY sure about is that I am fascinated by how much it differs from the yellow electric mouse games.
Like, let's the theme of animal cruelty and enslavement.
Pokémon has to deal with accusations by Peta and others regarding capturing animals and letting them fight each other and everything. We even got an entire plot regarding this theme in Pokémon Black & White with Team Plasma. But Pokémon made it very clear - over and over again - that the symbiotic relationship between Pokémon and Humans was a very healthy one and that Pokémon were happy to be our "partners".
Palworld, on the other hand, just said SCREW IT and not only makes it very clear that animal cruelty and enslavement are not only part of the experience, they freaking EMBRACE it.
Not sure I like that as a concept all in all, but I appreciate the husle.

And nobody got in trouble.
Well, Mattel tried but without success.
Hello Mr. Gaiman,
My apologies if this is a dumb question... but is it going against copyright laws to write a song about characters from someone's book/show? I've been searching for the answer and can't find it anywhere. I've had sources say it's not and I've had others say it is. I have no clue which is telling me the truth. I was hoping you'd know the answer. Or know somewhere I could be directed to in order to find out.
Thank you!
It isn't.

3am Prompt/Au Idea
What if, like love evil Dick in DC Vampires, more power to him, but like, imagine for a second...
Bruce, after finding out one of his kids is the self-proclaimed Vampire King, just holds up his hand, gathers up said kids into a room and just-
"I am not mad-" Several exchange looks that are half alarmed and half guilty, seeing as they're unsure why they've been gathered up at this moment. "-nor am I disappointed."
Bruce, fully channeling dad mode, "But what did we agree on for world domination plans?" (Somewhere a snooping hero chokes)
"Not to do it when you're on world so you don't have to at least attempt to stop us?"
"Exactly. Now, which one of you broke the rule and now has new medical information you didn't inform Alfred of...?"
#batman au#prompts#batman#dc#dcu#batfamily#dc vs vampires#vampire dick grayson#batfam prompts#batfam#alfred pennyworth#dick grayson#bruce wayne#jason todd#tim drake#damian wayne#duke thomas#cassandra cain#stephanie brown#the entire batfam#he gathered All of Them into the room#Batfam all know Dick is a vampire but no one else has any clue what happened#Bruce (straight faced to the JL): False alarm meant to breed distrust I tested all of them#Bruce about his kids: Look if you can't beat em join em#“I couldn't stop them from vigilantism when they were children do you think I could stop them taking over the world NOW that they're older?

Huh, I didn't see that Popple had a redemption arc the first time I played.
#good for him though#There are few things more ''Mario'' than the sentiment that sometimes#you just need to obliterate someone into becoming a better person#be the one they want to join when it comes to ''if you can't beat them join them''

Watching all of Bdubs' faith in Etho drain out of him as he failed to beat the washed-up allegations was my favourite part <3
#he really said if you can't beat them join them#it's the way he tried to defend him until the second Scar kill and then continued to do so until Etho shot him sksndkakns#bdubs#bdoubleo100#ethoslab#etho#ethubs#limited life#limited life spoilers#limited life smp#trafficblr

Highlights from my EU4 Austria game up to 1600s
#og post#eu4#pdx games#not in order but still funny#Had the worst RNG I didn't get any Personal Unions peacefully and had to fight wars to get Milan & Hungary & Bohemia & Brandenburg as PUs#Burgundy fully evaded my grasp and all of this got me so hated I got excommunicated and lost the election to Fucking Pfalz#I'm calling them the German name cuz it's more cringe then The Palatenate#(3 of the 7 electors are literally Theocracies what do you expect. Excommunication and the religious league wars were the end of me)#I got so pissed I switched to the Protestant side of the 30 year war and curbstomped Pfalz but only to sign the Treaty of Westphalia#Allowing me to gitch out and become an Easter Orthodox Christian member of the HRE (since it's peace between ALL Christians after all)#I can't even begin to explain how funny this is. Everyone picked sides based on me being Catholic!#When I switched sides all my allies were my enemies and all my enemies were my allies now.#Everyone lined up to kick my ass and I joined the queue. Then we beat up on some kid instead of me#Anyhow I also married into England without an heir and just... Got a Tudor as heir. The game pesters me to bring back the Habsburgs but no#It's better this way cause then I can try to take control over all the other Tudors (they hate me so that'd be hard)#England rebelled during my orthodox rebellion and so became an independent state seperate from Britian. Those are now two distrinct entitie#There's a England and there's a UK but they're nowhere near each other#And England wants to colonize overseas despit being landlocked. Like... No. Go back to paying me taxes!

I love love love drawing but I cannot draw poses in any circumstances
#anyway the Saint Bernard pmv is still a thing#STILL FIGURING OUT EACH FRAME SO I AIN'T SHARING SHIT BUT#I'm just at the “to remind me that I am a fool” part#which sounds bad bc that's literally the second line BUT. I figured out where all the pictures and posters go#so there's that#I have to draw Tobias in the mirror now as he grows up and I'm. SUFFERING#and then I gotta decide if “tell me where I came from” is a birds view of the town or like. the highway with the sign that says “Welcome to#“how I will always be/just a spoiled little kid” would be like him standing at the bridge and turning into a kid#“who went to catholic school” is the corrupted club (no fucking idea how you call the building in English so. club.)#the beat of silence is a stone falling into the river#“when I am dead I won't join” showing characters at their funeral the“join” beat showing Thea and his brother's family#and then on “their ranks” it shows like. “ghosts” of Thea's family (Thea as a child. Thea's dead brother. and Thea's dad in cuffs)#“cause they're both” side by side Iván and Thea “holy” Thea “and free” Iván#“and I'm in Ohio” Tobías family. his aunt and father. his aunt is staring emptily and his dad looks annoyed/disgusted#“satanic” his father “and chained up” his aunt#“and until the end/that's how it'll be” I have no fucking idea lol#“I said make me love myself/So that I might love you/etcetc” Tobías and Iván stuff Idk#“Saint Calvin told me not to worry about you” Thea's (alive) brother talking to Tobías before he leaves town#“but he's got his own things to deal with” show's her brother's wife and child behind them in the doorway#“there's really just one thing that we have in common/neither of us will be missed” Tobias and thea blabla symbolism#the silent beat after that is two stones in the river#I have no fucking idea what to do at the end tho#modern prophets#CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO TAG THAT

@maileesque iblings......
[image id: two sketches of my ocs. the one on the left is cass, a girl with straight long hair and bangs. she has big round eyes and a button nose. she smiles at the viewer, her hair and cape flowing behind her. she holds a smiling mask halfway covering her face with one hand and waves with the other.
the one on the right is a bust drawing of ed, a guy. he has a nose with a bump, thin lips, a hooded eye with an eyebag under it, and a spiky eyebrow. his straight, slightly spiky hair goes down to the base of his neck and half of it is pulled back, indicated by a little doodle of his side profile. he also has a splash shaped scar covering the left side of his face and stretching down to the side of his neck and shoulder. his left eye is not open fully due to his scar. end id.]
#olly scribbles#oc tag#ty for indulging me <33 i've had these laying around for a while djfkhjfgd#their full names are cassiopeia and edward and they're sooo.#like. they are all my anguish over siblings in media condensed into two characters#they're basically opposites but so so devoted to each other and. ohhghg#! lore dump from this point on !#ed is so smart but he can't do magic and cass is a magic battery but she's always depended on him for magic theory#she's super extroverted and very emotional as in. easy to anger easy to calm#he's not that much of an introvert he just kind of hates everyone lol#very closed off and bitter and he will keep his promises and grudges to his grave#short story long is that she joins aurelius (the villain) and ed follows her but surprise surprise! the evil suspicious guy is evil and#basically later kidnaps ed's crush (kai) to do experiments on him and ed helps break kai out and runs away himself#so. think claudia and soren#it's more complicated than this but he and kai also have a sort of percy-nico pact in which kai promises to save cass#but ultimately (spoiler) he has to kill her. which. um yeah.#ed has very complicated feelings about everything but he's justified in them is what i'm saying#also did i mention ed's a cane user. and that he gets to beat people up with his cane? bc he does#sorry for rambling SO MUCH jksdfgkfhjkdkj i am unwell over them. as you can probably tell
