I wonder if speedsters in the DCU get that ADHD buzzy thing where you end up in paralysis because you have so many things to do that you can't do any of them. That must be even more annoying when your brain runs at hyperspeed.

You and Bruce were in his office, you let out a puff of smoke as you stood by the window. Taking in the view.
"You know, in Arkham, there wasn't any bars on the windows. More like, plastic glass, so blurry I couldn't even see the moon clearly." The cigarette shortened even more as you took a long drag from the cigarette.
Bruce watched you from his desk, an unreadable expression on his face. You look so. . . it's hard for him to see you as who you are right now. Deep down Bruce knew you'd change some way after Arkham. Which was his sorry excuse for not visiting you. Only reading three of your letters, and stopped, he felt shame when it came to you. For which one of you, he doesn't know.
There are times, he did feel shame of being your father. Horrible, he knows. He's the worst father alive. And that's when he feels shameful of himself.
You let out a small sigh before turning to Bruce, you see the complex expression he had.
". . . You know Daddy, I don't think I ever seen you smile."
You walked closer to his desk and took a seat on one of the chairs. Bruce just silently stared at you. You still call him Daddy. He wanted to feel happy at the fact one thing stayed the same with you. But the way you said it. You said it in such a mocking way. Like it was a joke. Him being your father was a joke to you. It hurt. He rather you call him Bruce in the most hateful way you could.
"Y/n, I'm sorry-" Bruce tries to apologize, but you cut him off with the wave of your hand.
"I'm not here to fish out any apology from you."
Silence fills the room. You sighed again, putting out the cigarette by dropping it into a glass of water. You stood up and approached the vinyl player, you start it up as Bruce raised his brow in confusion. You turn around to face him
"Come on daddy, let's dance." You approached the older man, grabbing his arm and tugged him to stand. Even with how random your request was, Bruce complied, and you two began to slow dance together, the feeling was foreign to both.
The slow music continued as you two danced. You let your head rest on your father's shoulder, staring blankly at nothing. Bruce squeezed your hand. You began to realize. You have never been this close to Bruce. Always 4 feet away.
"When I was a little girl, there was this daddy daughter dance at school. . . I always wanted to dance with you like this. But you were busy. I understood, but it still hurt" Your statement caused Bruce to hold you a little tighter. Before he could attempt to apologize. You spoke up to shut him down.
"Don't you dare apologize."
The two of you continue to slow dance. You closed your eyes as Bruce rests his chin on your head. Closing his eyes. The two of you swaying to the music.
This moment should be a peaceful, loving moment between a father and daughter. But it felt more like an ending to a story that was going nowhere.
"Daddy, I have a question for you."
Bruce hummed in acknowledgement, still holding you tight.
Your eyes slowly open. "Have you seen Mommy recently?" Your question caught your father off guard. Visibly frozen. You lift your head up and see his expression turn a little sour.
"Why?" He spoke, slightly offended. Your spending time with him, why not focus on him?
"She's been missing. For a month. Not even her own family knows where she is. . ."
"Well, I don't where she is. I haven't had contact with her for years."
You sighed and pulled away, turning your back to him. A sign to show you were upset with his answer. Bruce frowns a little at you pulling away, his arms stayed up, almost to reach back for you.
"She visited me, every week, for several years. So please, understand I need to find her." You really were hoping to see if Bruce knew anything. But of course, he disappoints you with nothing. Again.
🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸
You got a text from Rex; your grandfather needed you back at the manor. You didn't have enough time to get your things from your old room, so you left Bruce in his office, walking to the front doors, where Alfred waited for you with your coat, along with Dick, Tim and.. . someone else you didn't recognize. But you focused on Alfred, and gently smile to the older man.
"Thank you for the food, Alfred, probably the one thing I missed the most while locked up." You spoke in a joking manner as you turned to let Alfred put your coat on for you. Alfred smiled a little.
"Thank you, miss."
You look up and give the three men a small nod "Dick, Tim . . . And?" You gave the third man a small look of confusion.
"I'm sorry I don't believe I got your name." You adjusted your coat as you stared up at the man and gave him your hand to shake. But the man just stared at you, Dick had to nudge him to snap him out of it.
The man snapped out of it and quickly took your hand and held it as gently as possible. You took notice of the scars on his calloused hand. He spoke in a nervous tone
"Jason, Jason Todd"
You instantly come to a pause.
"I- Uh, Jason Todd?" You know the name. Very well. But the name doesn't fit the face you remember.
But the look on everyone's face says it all, you know this family would not lie about this. You stepped closer to Jason, your hands hovering over his face, Jason could see your eyes glossed over with incoming tears that never fell.
" How. . .I thought you were dead. . ." You spoke in almost a whisper.
Jason lets out a weak chuckle.
"I thought you were dead too."
No words could express how much he missed you. When he came back from the dead, back into the family. No one dared to mention you. Even when he asked about you. They acted as if you were dead. But you were only a few miles away. Locked up. The thought alone angers him, he could have saved you sooner.
"Heh, I seem to get that a lot." You coil back and felt your phone buzz. Your ride was here.
"Do you have to leave Miss? It's late, why not stay for the night." Alfred tries to have you stay for at least a night.
"You just got here" - Dick
"The crime has gotten worse lately"- Tim
"Please. . .?"- Jason
You sighed as you opened the door,
"Sorry boys, no can do. Maybe another time." You gave them a small smile and turned to the car that was here to pick you up, but when you took a few steps down the staircase, you turn around where the entrance door was still open with Alfred and the boys stood.
"Oh, and Jason" Hearing you speak his name, Jason immediately perked up
"It was good seeing you. . . alive and all." You gave him a small toothy grin, before finally getting into the car.
🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸
Do you understand, how angry Jason was right now? After all this time thinking you were dead, his sweet little sister gone, you were alive, in a cage full of crazy's. He doesn't care if you took a few lives. You didn't mean too, it was an accident.
He was furious with Bruce for letting you get locked up for so long. Because you're staying with the Falcone's, a bunch of criminals that resort to anything if kept on the top.
"She was alive this whole time, and you knew."
Not only was it Bruce, but Dick knew to. Of all people to keep this away from him, Jason wouldn't think Dick of all people would lie.
"No one said she was dead Jay." Dick tried to calm Jason in some way.
"No one said she was alive!" Jason was quick to snap at Dick who just frowned at Jason's tone.
Your reappearance was indeed a shock to everyone and a lot of them are still trying to process it. As for the ones who never knew of your existence, they were trying to find out more about you. Your name has never been uttered, no pictures of you. Nothing. It was like you never really existed.
Thank Tim for that. Who had to remove you completely, so the Wayne name had less pressure on them. But now Tim is trying to gather what kind of rehabilitation you were in. He felt suspicious of your return. The way your eyes would bare into everyone in a sort of creepy way. As if analyzing them, Tim knew if he brought it up to either Bruce or Dick they would not listen to him. Especially by the way they reacted to your return.
So he was lucky Cassandra and Duke came to him first.
"The way she stared at me, I don't know man it gave me the creeps." Duke wasn't saying this out of meanness. You were genuinely making him uneasy every time you glanced at him, even more nervous when you gave him a smile.
Cassandra felt threatened by you. No one but her noticed how you stared at her the most.
"Something isn't right with her." Was all Cassandra said. Something was indeed wrong with you.
". . . Well, she just got out of Arkham, maybe she's a little. . . ?" Duke trailed off. Not wanting to say the word crazy just yet.
Tim silently listened to Duke and Cassandra's concern about you.
"Haven't you known her longer Tim?" Duke questioned.
Tim sat back in his chair as he let out a small sigh. You might have not noticed much, but he was always watching you. From the moment Bruce took him under his wing. You were small. Quiet, and simple. Not like that was a bad thing. At that time Tim wanted excitement, thrill. And you were none of those things, due to the fact you were practically a toddler.
But now, your different. Of course. It's a no-brainer Arkham would change you, he saw it coming. But your change was, unsettling. He hoped you would stay for him to find out more. But it seems your occupied with the Falcone's at the moment. Whatever it is, he's going to find out.

late night talking
Tumblr media
synopsis: though he always has been a tough nut to crack, you and scaramouche have grown to be best friends. however, on a late-night phone call with him, he finds himself drowsily enamored.
content: modern au, gn!reader, second person, romantic pining (scaramouche), (supposed) one-sided love, fluffy as shit
Tumblr media
In hindsight, staying up until 2AM just to talk in mumbled whispers on a school night isn’t the smartest idea. However, when it comes to you, there are no smart ideas in Scaramouche’s mind.
“Oh, and we need to check out that carnival coming sometime in June,” you were saying, extending a finger as you list off another activity.
“Mhm,” Scaramouche hummed absentmindedly. As much as your energy is infectious, he can’t deny the way his eyes start to flutter shut every now and then. Even his grip on the phone falters, the device hot from the nearly 4 hours you’ve been calling for.
“We could also visit the aquarium, the coffee shop behind the—“ You continue the list before you cut yourself off. A single glance into your screen paints a clear picture as to where Scaramouche’s mind is right now.
“Scara? You good?”
“Hm? Uh, yeah,” he murmurs, rubbing away the sleep from his eyes. However, a small yawn escapes him that’s a bit hard to miss, “Keep talking.”
To that, he hears a stifled laugh instead of a verbal response. He glances over to your portrait on his phone, taking in the way the faint artificial light hits your face. How the shadows of your room seem to frame your features so perfectly and the fact that your smile—
“Nah, I’ll stop for tonight. Wouldn’t want you to die from a lack of sleep,” you eventually reply with a chuckle. Scaramouche can hear (and barely see) you flip over in your bed, pulling the covers over your body.
In this new angle, he gets to see a new perspective of your face. A part of him wishes he could just reach out and tuck away that stray piece of hair laying on your forehead. Perhaps if he was there with you, you wouldn’t feel the need to go under the covers for warmth.
Instead, however, he just nods.
“Fair. Guess I’ll catch you tomorrow,” he replies softly, a wind-down from the previous energy the call carried.
“Yep, see you,” your lips curve into a gentle smile.
Scaramouche only replies with a cough, trying to cover up the faint blush as he finds himself getting flustered over your pixely face.
“Sweet dreams, Scara.”
Before he can open his mouth to reply, you already hung up. Though a part of him wishes the call lasted a bit longer, the other part is glad you didn’t have to hear whatever was about to slip from his mouth.
After a few seconds, he sighs and places his phone on his bedside table. He then proceeds to bury his face into the silky case of his pillow as his tired fists come to gently slam against the mattress. Nothing much is heard from him except for a few unintelligible mumbles.
Eventually, Scaramouche flips over onto his back as he stares up at the ceiling. Faint glow-in-the-dark stars from his childhood seem to stare back at him. He lets his eyes flutter shut as a small chuckle escapes his lips.
“Who needs dreams if you’re the sweetest thing I have?”
Tumblr media
notes: just another random babble :)) im not the best at writing dialogue but it’s better to do it once in a while
i really like writing scara as this silly little loser rather than a sadistic asshole (atleast in modern aus) (a bit delulu)
ah also i kind of forgot about the harry styles song up until right before posting this, but let’s say it’s loosely inspired 👍

All the empires leaders sitting in opera boxes at the Rivendell Opera House.
Joel is upside down in his seat, completely bored because they're singing in Elvish and he doesn't get it/ doesn't care.
Lizzie is about to fall asleep and frost over because at night the mountains are freezing cold and the air is dry and she had to stand for HOURS to get her dress altered and her hair curled and she wants to go home but it'd look bad.
Fwhip is shooting pebbles and candies from his pocket at Jimmy, who's trying and failing to ignore him. They're about to get into a heated argument and Fwhip is refusing to deescalate things.
Gem's tugging on Fwhip's collar trying to get him to be quiet because she's flipping back and forth through an Elvish translation book to follow the plot.
Sausage is crying because he can get the emotional message of the opera and even though he doesn't understand it the beautiful music is making him emotional.
Joey is completely sloshed, on his 7th glass of wine and giggling at one of the actors who winked at him from the stage.
Shrub and Katherine have left the opera house in their boredom and they're at a tavern two blocks over, watching drunk men have an archery competition.
Pix is the only one paying attention but he keeps mumbling to himself about random plot points throughout the performance, loud enough that if he wasn't in a box with his advisor, other patrons would be shushing him.
Pearl is asleep, just fully passed out in her box because she wanted to go to bed two hours ago but Sausage begged her to come so he wouldn't be lonely.
Scott is regretting inviting all of them and just sitting at his box with his head in his hands.

So I’m currently sick and feel like crap so I’m gonna spit out some random TLNM headcanons.
- Kai is captain of the lacrosse team and he’s suuuper popular in school. He used to be more popular before becoming friends with Lloyd, but still popular when he’s not around lloyd
- Nya isn’t quite as popular as her brother but she’s still popular. Also known as the “cool edgy kid” - a lot of people think her and Cole are dating.
- Cole is super quiet, always has his headphones on, and most people think he’s a delinquent. (He is, as he sm0kes underage, but people don’t know that)
- Reason he always has his headphones on is bc he gets overwhelmed by the noise of all the people. Music helps calm him down. (Also, it keeps people from trying to talk to him)
- Jay is a band kid. You can’t change my mind on this. He plays trumpet and is actually pretty good, so he plays in the jazz band and stuff. (I’m an orchestra kid and have no idea what I’m talking about)
- Jay’s orange scarf was a gift from his birth parents. It’s one of the only thing he has to remember them by, and he’s super attached to it.
- Zane is freakishly tall. You can always see him in the hallway and he stands out (I mean hello, he has white hair)
- Pixal is part of the friend group and lives with Dr. Borg, her maker. People don’t know that she’s a robot as she has a pretty good human disguise and understands people better than Zane does
- Pixal goes by “Pix” in school
- Zane and Pixal are valedictorians of their grade and often jokingly beef over it
- Zane also spends almost all of his time at school. Anyone texts the gc saying “anyone still at school?” And Zane will always be there, usually in the library.
- speaking of Zane, he lives with his maker, Dr. Julien, and was homeschooled most of his life up until highschool, when Dr. Julien decided he needed real social interaction and enrolled him
- Nya and Kai live with their parents Ray and Maya, but they’re not home often, usually working or jobhunting. Their dad has trouble keeping a job.
- due to this, Kai and Nya usually spend most of their time afterschool at school, too, both being on sports teams. (Nya plays volleyball)
- Jay lives on the very outskirts of ninjago city and is driven to school by his parents every day
- Lloyd spends most of his time either at home or with his friends, seeing that he has no where else to go where people won’t hate him
- Tried joining almost every club to find acceptance, but the second he joined everyone else quit, so he eventually gave up
- There’s probably a thing at school called “The Garmadon Touch” that’s similar to the Cheese Touch from Diary of a Whimpy Kid. All of Lloyd’s friends have the Garmadon Touch and are very proud of it
- Cole, Nya, and Kai protect Lloyd (and the others) from bullies
Ok that’s it thanks byeee

"How's that big salmon stuff going these days?" Cub asked. He had stopped by the farm to ask him about custom fireworks, and noticed the wide, deep river that now separated his farm from xB's place.
"Oh, it's going wonderfully, Cub. See this river? They're very happy with it, I can assure you," Beef said.
"Salmon wanting a river, that's hardly a surprise," Cub said.
Beef chuckled to himself. "Well, no, though I still don't really know why they wanted it, though. Maybe it was just to look pretty. And they are fish, after all."
Cub shrugged. "Yeah, I know that feeling."
"Did I heard you'd started covering your base with skulk? How's that working out for you?" Beef said. "Not possessed again, are we?"
"Pfft, nah, it just looks better than the grass, that's all. Makes all the bright colours stand out," Cub said.
"Sure, sure," Beef said.
"Just like you're not taking orders from a fish, hey?" Cub said.
Beef laughed this time. "I guess we both know what that kind of thing's like. Not that there's anything weird going on with the salmon. I just do what I'm told, and they wanted a river, so. I got False to make me one."
"No, of course not. Nothing weird going on here," Cub said. "We just do as we're told. The rewards make it worth it."
"Yeah, something like that," Beef said.
"Anyway, about those fireworks..."
-
Beef crouched by the river once Cub was gone, thinking. The salmon filled the river, the only fish he could see in the water. Something about them memerised him, watching their glistening bodies move effortlessly through the water.
Who'd have thought an offhand comment would lead to this? Not Beef. But stranger things had happened, so whatever. And if it helped him and Skizz go up against Doc and his sand nonsense, well. The solidarity was nice.
This wasn't...
Something about Cub had got him thinking, though. He wasn't- possessed, was he? No, that can't be it. Possessed was what Cub was, with the skulk. Not- no, you definitely couldn't be possessed by Big Salmon. Definitely not.
And yet, the question remained at the tip of his tongue, almost daring him to ask it. Perhaps he was in too deep. But what did it matter now? Big Salmon would take care of him.
-
Cub felt the echoes of something in the water as he swam across. He saw the salmon and smiled, thinking nothing more of them. If Beef wanted to serve some fish, well. That was his decision to make. He wasn't any different, right? He wasn't possessed by the skulk this time. It was different. There'd be no need to call on Pix and False to splash him with every potion known to the world to cure him.
But the skulk still whispered. Cub was scared of it at first. Wardens were dangerous creatures, and he'd decided to mine straight into an ancient city. He felt that was not a random act. The skulk had drawn him in, for reasons unknown, and now he was in their thrall again.
He'd been afraid of that, to be honest. Knew all along they were lurking, waiting, lying dormant until the right moment. Perhaps now was the right moment, he thought, as he continued to spread skulk across the grass, watching it shrivel and die as the skulk took over. It spread a silent darkness across his base, one that made the base feel much more ominous.
Why was that important? Cub didn't know. Didn't question it. Continued to simply harvest all the skulk from the ancient city and spread it up here instead. As if he was bringing it to life out here. And, sure, placing it seemed fine, but he'd felt the sheer joy when he'd spread it by killing Scar. Scar had felt it too. They didn't mind killing each other for sport anyway, so it was fine. It was fun to see how far it spread.
-
Cub thought about Beef's river. Beef thought about the salmon. False cradled her rivers safely in her briefcase. Gem did her best to hide the horrors that lay under the water in her base. Grian had never been the same since the fishing took hold. Maybe....
Beef stared at the river. Reached down to touch the water, felt one of the salmon nip at his fingers as if it was expecting food. He offered it some meat from his farm, numb to the sight of it feeding from his hands, tearing the flesh apart.
Maybe- Maybe Cleo was right. Maybe there's something about the water this season. Or-
-
Cub sunk his fingers into the skulk, sighing in relief as the skulk brought him radiant calm. Yes. Yes. The skulk whispered. Cub closed his eyes. Gasped at the vision the skulk sent him of how his base will look. Smiled as Scar killed him, his life sacrificed to the skulk as it snaked out around him, spreading further and further. All would be skulk. All will be skulk. He would make sure of that.

Anything for Sloy and Lyarrah? I don't know how to spell her name ;-;
What's going on with the rest of the recap team? Are they demigods? Legacies? Random mortals that Pix made friends with that can see through the mist somehow? The possibilities are endless!
I just made the Hermitcraft Recap trio a bunch of Athena/Minera descendants that decided to put their observation skills into, apparently, stalking another camp rather than using their skills to help their own.
Because out of all the things the descendants of the goddess of wisdom could focus on, it's on the happenings of the other kids that has less wisdom than the entire world collectively.

i think getting really into kinda esoteric/nonstandard/maybe inconvenient mediums of digital art would be a fun lil autism hobby. like drawing in kid pix, flipnote studio, passpartout, the krita scratchpad u use to test brushes, the markup feature of microsoft word, the lil e-signature boxes you get at the doctor's office, that kinda stuff. things which you can draw in but maybe aren't designed for properly making art, or if they are, otherwise have some gimmick or whatever. idk I'm just kinda fascinated by them. like it's the digital equivalent of going to an art class and your teacher making you paint w a bottle of ink and some random sticks from outside
i would name some more obscure examples if I knew them but alas I don't have any in my brain rn. idk if this makes sense btw
