#oracle of secrets

[sefiaazure]

Farore too because why not 🍀

I used to purposely just visit her in the tree because I felt like she'd be lonely all by herself 🤧

[lace4forest]

I love the Oracle games tbh, after playing them and beating both they very quickly became my favorites in the series. Prob top 5 at last. (Well, ages is top 5, seasons is top 10)

Someone is also working on a Secrets fan game, so I'll probably talk about that later.

Oracle of Seasons, Din and Oracle of Ages, Nayru - "Farore how do you not get Kidnapped!?"

Oracle of Secrets, Farore - "Wouldn't you like to know weather boy-"

[thejazzywaffles]

It’s 2 AM and I've been playing Oracle of Ages a lot

You know, when people talk about The Legend of Zelda: The Mystical Seed of Courage, they say it was “canceled” in the sense of it being some kind of "lost game." But... I'm fairly confident that any completed work and/or concepts were either folded into the two existing Oracle games where possible, or were used as a basis for Capcom's next Zelda game, Minish Cap.

Heck, look at the map of Hyrule in Minish Cap. It doesn't resemble "Hyrule" at all and is more in line with something like Labrynna or Holodrum. To me, this just screams “they had a map sketched out & planned for TMSoC and didn’t wanna scrap all that work.” Obviously they couldn’t reuse any of the actually-programmed stuff, but any development materials could’ve been used as reference...

And if this map was originally planned as a GBC map, I could totally see locations that don’t have a dungeon in the final game having dungeons in the original TMSoC plans, such as the Graveyard area (and it would also explain there being a whole extra filler dungeon in the ruins south of the Tabantha Wilderness).

IDK, maybe I’m chasing shadows here, but I think at least some of the development material from the canceled 3rd Oracle game was used as inspiration for TMC.

Dick: *being pushed to the lab to test for a meta gene* come on guys, you know I'm a completely normal human

Steph: yeah, yeah, tell that to some other idiot

Tim: there's no way in hell you are a "normal human"

Duke: we have seen the truth

Cass: you can't fool us

Dick: this is ridicu-

Corrie: save it for the needle, dickface, you could have fooled us before you completely decimated the Legion of Doom and smashed your way trough the Watchtower's security before, and hear me out, you shattered Cyborg Superman's leg by shoulder checking him with a total weight of?

Jason, with the goofiest, biggest glasses he found over his helmet while holding the most obnoxiously big calculator on earth: his approximate weight is that of a wet kitten on a napkin

Corrie: that! Not to mention the shit with the Court of Howls talking about you as their "Grayson" you are a motherfucking prophesied warrior from some random ass cult!

Dick: B, you already did test on this, tell them!

Bruce: it's always good to be sure

Dick: Alfred!!

Alfred: worry not, master Grayson, everything is already prepared and ready to use

Dick: Babs?

Barbara, holding a needle: we are ready to go!!

Damian, helping with the testing: tt sit at once, Grayson, I intend for this to be done before my S&S session later today

Dick:... fine, why not? just the 38th test, not like I keep count or anything...

...

Cass: bullshit

Steph: that!!

Jason: you smell that?

Duke: yeah, it smells like bullcrap

Dick: told you

Batkids Secret Santa

I picked the character combinations with an online wheel.

Dick gets Stephanie a charm bracelet with a robin bird charm and a bat charm on it.

Jason opens up a library in Barbara's name.

Tim gets Jason a new, specifically less breakable, helmet/muzzle. Inside is a note that reads "see, told you I'll always be there for you."

Cass gets Damian a martial arts obstacle course. They compete against each other on it.

Duke gets Dick headphones that won't fall out while he's doing acrobatics.

Damian gives Duke a manga story he wrote and illustrated. The story stars his self insert "Damian Vane" and a character based on Duke. The character is knight themed as reference to Signal's name origin.

Barbara gets Tim a custom computer watch.

Steph gets Cass tickets to the gotham ballet.

Fun fact, a batfam secret Santa is actually canon. It's in Nightwing's Batman Urban Legends story, written by Tini Howard and collected in Nightwing: Fear State.

Jason wasn't part of it but I decided to include him anyway. One, I love him. Two, I could genuinely see him partaking after the character development he's been getting lately.

Shoutout to anyone who can name all the comics I reference in this post.

[cosmicpoutine]

dc girls be out there with codenames like oracle, spoiler, secret, and the best a man can come up with is "batman" please stfu

[speedforce-zoomies]

I’ve seen a lot of posts about the Batfam wearing the others merch recently

So I would like to add for consideration- the ultimate act of acknowledgment from Tim is him adding a sticker of your hero identity on his skateboard (list based roughly in the order he would have met them)

Prior to becoming Robin his skateboard only had stickers of the Batman, Nightwing, Robin, & Batgirl symbols (either NW Dick + R Jason or both for Dick idk if he would but you can’t tell me Dick’s biggest fan wouldn’t have at least consider it lol)

Then he becomes Robin and he slowly starts adding on to it

Oracle & Huntress get stickers added on super quick after their introductions though at the time he might have needed to custom make Oracle’s- maybe Huntress’s as well?

Spoiler hit him in the face with a brick when they first meet so even though he forgave her pretty quick it still takes him a moment to make/add her sticker on. (How long do vigilantes need to be on the scene before people start making merch, do y’all think?)

Impluse gets added on pretty quickly after Tim meets him. Superboy gets added on a while after their meeting because the two annoyed the HECK out of each other when they first met and Tim’s petty like that.

Tim was a bit suspicious when he first met Cass but AS SOON AS he gets over it he’s adding on a sticker. Like immediately.

While he meet Secret before the rest of YJ I’m not sure those meetings would have led him to making a sticker for her but once she joins the team I think he would.

Wonder Girl, Arrowette, & Empress like Impluse, gets their stickers added on pretty soon on after he meets them.

He later makes a custom one for Slobo.

Ray gets one too but not as quickly as the others & both Ray & Slobo get one quicker than Superboy did, relatively. It makes Superboy fume a bit lol in a way he didn’t with the girls lol.

Every time Red Hood is close to get his sticker added he does something that pushes the time table back lol. Sometimes Jason tried adding his own sticker but the skateboard is never where he can find it when he tries.

He added one for Batwoman, BlueBird, & The Question (Reene) because he thinks they’re cool (+ without even realizing that he also felt a communal pull to do so)

It took a bit of time after the whole “I left Gotham in search of Bruce who was lost in the time-stream” thing for things with Damian to settle. Tim added his Robin randomly without any fanfare and Damian pretended he doesn’t care (but he does obnoxiously brag about it when annoyed by Jason to bother him in return)

Tim was MIA & considered dead when Duke became Signal (if I’m recalling correctly) but Dick tells him about The Skateboard and when Tim comes back Dukes already ready and hands him a Signal symbol sticker. Tim is amused and immediately puts it on. Jason is frustrated.

When he starts working with Sparrow he makes one for her.

Also every time Nightwing changes his suit, a new sticker gets added on which makes everyone complain and say they should get more than one sticker if they’ve had more than one suit/super identity.

Tim responds by adding more Nightwing stickers

Dc x dp idea 119

Sam and Danny accidentally blow up social media. Except Danny just gets to laugh at the headlines.

Recluse Manson daughter and *insert Batkid name here* caught red handed

It was another fake out make out fiasco. Sam had agreed to go to a stupid gala. Only because vlad was going. Danny hated his eyes in front of his mom to make vlad take him along. He doesn’t trust the fruitloop.

Of course she and Danny were finding out why vlad had to come to this particular Galla in Gotham. It was some stupid overshadowing scheme. They put a stop to it and Danny phased them into the coat closet.

They didn’t think a reporter had managed to get into the gala. Let alone get a picture of them.

I learned today that when sunlight hits the Oracle of Secrets box, it paints my room with Such vivid rainbows. Huge fan of that. Good work.

Merry Portal-mas! Thought I’d make a couple scenes to do with Oracle Turret, and because it’s Christmas, I wanted to try and include everybody.

When Damian first joins the family, he is unaware of the bargain.

All parties must be in agreement to expand the list of members, and at first, Jason and Tim were concerned about whether Damian was trustworthy. Dick thought it would be a good show of trust, but had been outvoted.

When Damian found out about it, the circumstances were dire. On of the goons had a heart condition, and even non-lethal force had been enough. In the report, he had died of complications and pre existing conditions. Damian had no way of knowing that, but Bruce would not see it that way.

It was Dick who approached him.

“Trust me. It’ll be okay. It’s just a conversation, you’ll see.”

He’d taken them both to a cafe in Metropolis.

“Clark owes me a few favors. Keeping Batman from listening, and not listening himself, are relatively easy ways to fulfill them.”

Jason and Tim were waiting for them. Damian bristled, not expecting the two of them and their attempts at civil appearances.

“What is this?”

Jason and Tim didn’t look amused and waited for them to sit down. Dick sighed, realizing they would be no help.

“First off. This is a neutral space. No information from this conversation will be shared to any party not immediately present, used as a means of threatening another party present, or discussed in locations that are susceptible to the information being discovered by another party. Damian, before we continue, you must agree to those rules. Jason, Tim and myself have abided by them for several years. There are more stringent rules around the information we will discuss, but this general basis must be agreed to before we continue. You may opt out if you wish and we can head back to the manor.”

Damian wrestled with his decision but little of it showed on his face aside from his usual scowl.

On the one hand, information was being kept from him that he could find useful. One the other hand, he would have to enter into an agreement with three dangerous individuals that would know if he went back on his word with any of the information. If Batman was not already privy to this information, there is a reason he does not know it. Damian would be unable to determine how to share the information without knowing how it’s protected.

“… Fine.”

“I need more than that, Damian.”

“I agree to your terms. The information will not be discussed, shared, discoverable, or used as a threat.”

A look passed between the three older vigilantes before Dick blinked and nodded.

“The three of us have a shared agreement regarding information that gets shared with Bruce. Things that would get us in trouble if he found out. There are a couple of rules and stipulations about the types of information, but basically, it boils down the a mutual non-aggression pact.”

Tim cut in quickly.

“In the course of our night jobs, you will make mistakes. Things you couldn’t possible have known about. And rather than allowing Bruce to fixate on things that aren’t preventable and out of our control, we regulate what he knows of those situations.”

Jason sighed and leaned back in his chair.

“When we fuck up and don’t want to get bitched out, we keep secrets from the old man. Early in knowing boy blunder here, we didn’t trust each other. To avoid involving B, we agreed not to eat on each other.”

Damian paused, considering.

“Then you all know what happened to one of the men from patrol a few weeks ago.” There wasn’t a question in Damian’s words, but Dick nodded anyways.

“Yeah, we know about his complications. That’s why we wanted to talk to you. We’ve been debating letting you into the pact since you came to live with B, but we weren’t sure how you’d take it.”

Damian tsk’d.

“You did not believe me trustworthy of such information.”

Tim tilted his head at him and said, “No, we didn’t.”

Damian nodded and thought about his options. If they were to be trusted, presumably they would keep information from Father. However, he would also become complicit in keeping information from Father, information he would not know the nature of until he agreed.

“What is the benefit of such an agreement?”

Jason chuckled and Dick started talking over him.

“We have all agreed to keep this information from Bruce. Meaning, if it looks like he’s getting too close to anything, we step in and help each other prevent that. It also means if we have a situation that arises and we need B to be kept out of it, we contact each other and it’s dealt with in real time.”

Tim nodded, adding “When I was going over files and alerts related to the case from last week I saw the coroner’s report of your guy. I could have altered the records right then and covered up the trail from the beginning. We have our own protocols for dealing with B and shared resources.”

“What is it that prevents this information from being shared?”

“Mutually assured destruction,” Jason said coolly.

“What Jason means,” Dick interjected, glaring, “is that the severity of the information is enough. As much as Tim or Jason doesn’t want B to know something, neither do I. If all of us work together, we’re good enough to keep it from him. The threat of any of us failing is enough of a deterrent because it would mean our own secrets coming to light. All information shared is of equal severity.”

Damian blinked, momentarily stunned.

“There is no punishment to ensure compliance?”

“Nothing aside from whatever B’s reaction to the information will be. And perhaps his reaction to finding out we kept it from him, if he figures that part out.”

All things considered, it was a fair deal. Not as secure as Damian would like, but better than nothing.

“I will require time to think about this proposal. But my original agreement stands. Will this be enough to ensure that the coroner’s report will remain in its current form or must I provide additional proof?”

“No, that’s alright. We’ll meet back up two weeks from now, we’ll need your answer by then.”
