Tim Drake's 17th birthday

Today is Tim Drake's tenth 17th birthday. We wish him many good things as the years pass, hopefully including finally aging properly

[wellcome-to-chaos]

I was looking at some things because I'm getting around to making a lore post for Mystery and Aria, and I discovered that Mystery's pet cat/kitten was originally named Zack

Here is the "faceclaim" or whatever it's called for what he looks like^

[hells-morning-angel]

I'll get to answering RPS (Both DMS and Threads!) and Asks within the coming days! There's just a lot to get too, haha.

If i have a DM with you or a thread know that it will be responded too more frequently in these coming days! And if you have an ask, i will get to it eventually! Your free to ask more things and stuff!

OOC: we love psychoanalysis. i have been waiting for this day it needs to be picked apart for real honestly.

[...I realize that I meant to write starters for the #MonsterHouseParty last week, but things exploded a bit with work which affected my overall energy and time to write. I realize that the event is effectively over, but I am still interested in writing for it- or barring that writing with everyone who wanted a starter- so for the following blogs who liked this post, I will reach out to you either over discord or Tumblr-IM to see if you want a 'Party' starter or a more generic one - assuming you do not reach out first and beat me to it:]

Someone talking to me: I see you have riding boots on, riding horses must be so fun!

Me, who rides a funky little mule: Haha yeah

[despairs-memorial]

I won't go down without a fight....

[clock-corpse]

I swear most of you guys are either younger than I expect or older than I expect.

FAQ

Q: How many mods run this account?

A: There are three of us, although we have been told by our supervisors that Oracle can and will send alerts through us. To talk to us, say one of our names, “Maxi”, “Samuel”, or “Rusty”, if you want to talk to one of us specifically, or “Mods” or “the Mods” if you don't care who answers.

Q: Do any of you have specialties?

A: Rusty knows the most about the vigilantes and their histories. Samuel supposedly knows the most about the rogues, although he's never had to prove this. Maxi proofreads most posts and knows the most about mundane aspects of living in this city.

FAQ continued under the cut (OOC information at the bottom)

Q: Mod pronouns?

A: Mod Maxi uses she/her, Mod Samuel uses he/him, and Mod Rusty is genderfluid and won't care.

Q: Do we report villain or vigilante sightings to you?

A: You can, but you should probably send them to BatWatch or a crisis line. Since there are only three of us, we aren't on 24/7 like the crisis lines.

Q: Do I report it if I saw Batman and Catwoman making out on the roof?

A: We've seen that, everyone has seen that, please stop sending us pictures.

Q: Do I report it if I see heroes or vigilantes that do not live in Gotham?

A: Like BatWatch but unlike the crisis lines, we have filters for out of towners.

Q: Red Hood is a crime lord, not a vigilante, stop reporting on him.

A: Die mad about it. (Edit: Maxi and our supervisors said we can't say that.)

Q: Why do you talk about Wayne Enterprises so much?

A: They have so many events that you should try doing things in this city without running into something done by them.

OOC Information

Mod Maxi, Mod Samuel, and Mod Rusty in respective order

This blog is run by one person! If you want to talk to me specifically, talk to me in an ask by calling me “Ali”, “Mod”, or “OP” (my pronouns are she/they)

If you want to get in touch about things not pertaining to this blog, my main is @nookisms

All links on posts will be relevant to the content that's in the posts.

If you send an ask, I will answer it. Eventually.

You may notice (in the future) that I have posted about the same events multiple times. Since I'm running this like an official city account, I would think they would have monthly or annual reminders for their citizens. I don’t know if they do this irl.

Most neighborhood names are taken off several maps I could find of Gotham, but sometimes you just gotta ignore if things are canon and go with what feels right.

Will there be canon events? Everything is canon somewhere.

This blog's intended ambiance was inspired by Welcome to Night Vale, which is a normal podcast to Gothamites.

[wellcome-to-chaos]

To whoever tf that anon was who sent that to me, and other ace peeps:

What the actual fuck is wrong with you? I deleted your inbox send because I refuse to engage with such disregard for boundaries

[hells-morning-angel]

I’ll answer some asks in the morning and reply to DM Rp’s too! If anyone ever wants to do a public thread on the blog, you can comment here or DM! This is an Ask Blog but it doubles as a standard roleplay blog too!

Salvē imperator,

Apparently the word larva means ghost or spirit in Latin. (pronounced Lar-wah)

Makes sense. They are ghastly pale, widely considered unsettling, and aren’t easily understood by the human mind.

They are all around us silent but always there operating outside of what man thinks how the world work; No ideals, no dreams, and no gods,

Thoughts on these creatures Imperator?

(Thanks for listening to my autistic rambling on grubs,)

"They are also surprisingly robust sources sources of protein. Many cultures have subsisted on the larvae of insects since time immemorial. I have done so myself. I have eaten many substances mortals would consider 'unsettling' in order to survive. Did you know, Stranger, that an ancient culture once created a form of cheese infamous for containing living fly larvae? The flies were allowed to lay eggs within the rind and their maggots made the cheese soft, sour, and creamy. One had to consume the larvae alive. as the cheese was said to have spoiled once the maggots died. "

[...does anyone even use Tumbler's Instant-Messenger system anymore? I want to try and talk to some of my newer mutuals - even if only to try and see if connecting over Discord since that's my main activity location - but I'm not sure if I should just send asks instead at this point tbh.]

Great, everyone's coming down on me and thinks I'm a fucking idiot just because I didn't know who some singing computer thing is in some music I don't listen to because it's probably not mainstream enough for me to hear it on my American-ass radio stations. Sorry for not knowing shit. Guess I'm not supposed to ask if I don't know.
