Hiram's thoughts on the masters: they stole his city and it's their fault his family died. they did everything wrong and now he's stuck in a cave forever. plus, they're super annoying.
Hiram's thoughts on Mr Transport: it is literally a baby, born two seconds ago on a train. it never did anything wrong and its two seconds old baby brain can't even conceive the concept of crime. nor the concept of not headbutting his shoulder but it's excused because it's cute.

scoundrel?? what scoundrel???? the magnificent mr cards (who ironically has more of a flower aesthetic going on) is completely unrelated to any "bandaged scoundrels" running around the neath. in fact it's never heard of the word scoundrel ever in its entire definitely long definitely ancient life. but yknow, hypothetically, if it did know the scoundrel, it's confident that they're really really really handsome and cool and epic and they're almost just as amazing as it is and you should totally donate all your valuables to them and stuff
Tumblr media
aaand because i like them too much, have a transparent version. the Creachure. the Thing, even.
#the scoundrel's flower theme vs the 'canon' cards gambler theme. the latter lost this round im afraid#i do really like how they came out though#yin art#fallen london#sorry for posting cringe (my art) in the maintag it will probably inevitably happen again#while im here: design notes!#in my head their robe is like. Heavy. very thick velvet probably getting very dirty dragged around on the floor everywhere#the little drapes around their body are probably gold of some kind. the bangles and rings definitely are#the flowers here are almost certainly fake compared to their usual ones.#do you know how much tax must happen on surface flowers going neathward.#the scoundrel probably spends half of their rent budget keeping their stupid aesthetic alive#their glasses stand out like their eyes while wearing the robe mostly due to cartoon logic#they probably mostly have their normal look on underneath. aka still have their bandages#the ones on their hands are fraying bc bat claws grow sharp and grow large. they're a bit fraught over it.#they dont like looking at any part of themself including the hands#it DOES help their mastersona seem authentic though. so that's a hashtag bonus#they mainly trade in luck and debts. and hijinks. they dont officially trade in hijinks but they definitely sure do get up to it#word is probably already starting to spread about how much mr cards hates boats.#surely this has nothing to do with the scoundrel's famed dislike of the exact same thing.#surely.#scoundrelventures

I moved to Gotham a few months ago so I could attend GCU. So far we've only gotten one visit from Harvey dent coming in to teach a class. (As horrifying as that was, he was actually a pretty good teacher). Anyway, now that I'm able to afford a phone I finally downloaded Tumblr. We'll see how it goes from there.

I like to think that when the batfamily inevitably runs out of money and jobless Bruce, Tim, and Dick* find themselves in financial need, Steph reveals that she's made thousands of dollars taking odd jobs around Gotham City that we just never saw bc Steph hasn't been in a comic for months. Nobody checked in on her and while they weren't looking she made 6 grand babysitting and playing piano at a local theatre. Bruce has to grovel for enough money to buff out a scratch on the batmobile and Steph is revelling in it. This is the closest she's ever going to get to being a supervillain
*(Cass and Jason don't need money to survive on account of being homeless as kids + Babs funds Cass' basic needs and Damian is on his mom's payroll, same w/ duke even if it's obvs not al ghul money)

Vesuvia Weekly: Date with Disaster
This... got away from me lol.
Julian is all set to go on a date with Damian. But something is making him decidedly more anxious than he should be...
Featuring Julian, my apprentice Damian, Damian's familiar Oswald the bat, and some brief appearances by Asra and Faust.
Almost 3000 words, content warning for anxiety and claustrophobia, just in case. Don't worry, everything turns out just fine! :)
_____________
It was really a rather simple date, considering how long it had taken Julian and Damian to plan. But that didn’t stop Julian from being nearly beside himself with nerves.
He should have been excited. It was finally time for Julian to prepare for that romantic picnic that he had promised Damian over a month ago. And then they would be off, spending a glorious night out on the town. Julian had plans. Secret plans. Plans that he couldn’t wait to surprise Damian with.
But for now, Julian was rushing around the little room above the shop, tripping over trinkets as he snatched up the last few things he needed.
Asra, who had promised to take care of things at the shop while he and Damian were out, watched with a raised eyebrow.
“Trying to wear a hole in the floor, Ilya?” Asra teased.
“Asra, as much as I enjoy our banter, this isn’t the time,” Julian called frantically over his shoulder. “Where is it, where is it, I told Damian I would pack a lantern, and I can’t do that if I can’t—?
“Did you mean the lantern on the shelf?” said Asra.
Julian ignored Asra’s playful smirk and looked at the shelf. Which was a very obvious place for a lantern to be. Of course, it was right there. In plain sight. Julian sighed and grabbed the lantern, carefully shoving it amongst his ever-growing pile of picnic supplies.
Asra’s smile slipped away. “Ilya? Is something wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong!” Julian burst out. “Everything is fine. Tonight is going to be perfect.”
Asra hummed thoughtfully. “Of course. Then I’m sure you have a reason for packing one of Damian’s old Masquerade masks.”
Julian froze. He stared at the mask in his hand. He hadn’t even noticed what he had been grabbing. He felt his face heat up.
“It’s, uh… that’s not for the picnic,” he said. “It’s for later. Tonight. We’ll be going dancing, you know.”
Asra raised an eyebrow. It was clear that even Faust, hiding in Asra’s outfit as usual, completely doubted every word Julian said.  
Julian gave up. He put the mask down with a sigh.
“I… sorry,” he said. “I’m nervous. I admit.”
“I noticed,” Asra quipped. “But this seems a bit… more nervous than usual.”
“Yes, Asra, thank you for your observation.” Julian sighed again. “I can’t help it. I must be going mad from the stress of work.”
Asra’s eyebrows crept higher. “What makes you say that?”
“It’s the lack of sleep, I’m sure of it,” said Julian. “Usual Devorak nonsense, isn’t it? Or just… doctor nonsense. Always excellent at providing care, but the worst patient… hard, though, to get a good eight hours—or even a halfway decent five—when the past three nights came up with nothing but nightmares. And they only get worse, of course. Just my… luck…”
He winced. He hadn’t meant to say any of that out loud.
“Nightmares?” Asra repeated. “And the time frame seems… specific. It’s not… has anything happened recently?”
It took Julian a second to realize what Asra meant. “What? No. No, no, no, it’s nothing like that. Nothing’s happened. Everyone’s perfectly fine. Thriving, even. And we’re nowhere near any, ah, anniversaries.”
Asra nodded. It was good to know—and to admit—that no part of Julian’s sordid past was coming back to haunt him. Not at the moment, anyway.
“I’m sure it’s nothing,” Julian went on. “Stress. That’s all.”
He thought he had managed to successfully brush it off. Then Asra’s eyes flashed.
“Damian’s been giving you magic lessons, hasn’t he?”
Julian stopped short. “He… well, yes, but what does that have to do with—?”
“Have these nightmares been about anything specific?” Asra asked.
“Nnnoooot particularly,” said Julian, frowning in thought. “Just general foreboding. You know me. Once a thespian, always a… wait.” He let out a nervous laugh. “Wait, you can’t be serious. You don’t really think this all means something, do you?”
“The veil between the mortal and magical realms grow even thinner in dreams,” said Asra. “You’ve seen it yourself, Ilya. You may not have been able to reach the Hanged Man otherwise.”
Julian ran a hand through his hair. “That’s… uh, well, that’s true, but… I don’t know… mystic dream veils sound a bit…”
Asra didn’t let him finish his awkward attempt at waving that thought aside. “Ilya. Dreams like that—particularly repeated dreams—can be considered warnings. And you’ve been opening yourself up to magic lately.”
“You can thank Damian for that,” said Julian with another awkward chuckle.
Asra was far from distracted. “Ilya, please. This could be serious.”
Julian shut up.
“If the dreams have been getting worse the past few days, and came to a head last night… it might mean some kind of danger is approaching. And approaching quickly.” Asra frowned in thought again. Then: “Ilya. Tell me. What is the worst possible thing you can imagine happening during your date tonight?”
For a split second, Julian wanted to argue. A bunch of nightmares couldn’t possibly mean all that. It didn’t make sense.
But if anyone knew the ins and outs of weird magic visions, it was Asra. And if something bad really was on its way, Julian didn’t want to put anyone at risk.
He had to take this seriously. Just in case.
Julian thought about it for a moment. Of course, he had already considered the hundreds of things that could go wrong on a date like this. But those were all small issues. Forgetting one of the ingredients, tripping over something on the way to their picnic spot and spilling everything, not getting to see absolutely everything they wanted to see, Damian falling into another barrel… those were fixable. Minor. Things they would laugh about later. None of it warranted a sense of impending doom.
Except, perhaps, for one thing…
“The worst thing I can imagine…” Julian said slowly. “Well, I suppose the worst thing I can picture is something bad happening to…”
He trailed off. Asra’s eyes had widened again. Julian shot to his feet.
“Damian,” he gasped.
Julian didn’t waste any more time. If something bad was going to happen to Damian—or maybe already had happened—then he needed to find him. Fast.
He knew Damian was in the forest, stocking up on some ingredients to help restock the shop. So that was exactly where Julian headed.
His fears were only confirmed when Damian’s familiar, trust little Oswald the bat, collided with Julian before he even set foot in the wood.
Damian never traveled anywhere without his familiar. Oswald was his constant companion. If they had been separated, then something was very, very wrong.
Oswald bounced off of Julian’s chest, landing in his waiting hands. Julian hastily checked him over. The little bat looked distinctly ruffled.
“Oswald, what happened?” Julian asked frantically. “Where’s Damian?”
Of course, Julian couldn’t understand Oswald. Not the way Damian could. But the sound the bat made was unmistakably one of alarm. Oswald hastily took to the air again. He flapped a circle around Julian’s head. Then he zipped off, flying deeper into the forest.
Julian immediately followed.
------------------
Damian tried to keep his breathing steady. It didn’t work. Gods, he never should have gone back here. He knew the caves in the forest could be dangerous. And of course the recent heavy rain would have caused problems.
He’d been so foolish. He’d thought he knew the paths well enough. He thought he could handle any magical trouble that might come his way. He’d thought that the rare and highly useful nettles that grew in this particular little cavern would have worth whatever risk there might have been.
Not this. It wasn’t worth this.
Damian couldn’t stop his mind from reeling. From berating himself over and over as the panic took over. He should have paid attention. He knew the signs of a landslide—or dirt-slide in this case. He knew that any rocks and rubble perched on top of the caves were a bad omen.
But he’d notice too late. It wasn’t until he heard the rumble. Until he saw the cavern grow dark.
Oswald had just managed to slip out before the cavern entrance was completely sealed off. Now Damian was stuck. In a space that was far too small. And felt smaller and smaller every second. He couldn’t see. He was too panicked to breathe. Any thought of using magic had completely left his mind. All he could do was scrabble against the rocks that kept him trapped. He cried out desperately, hoping someone, anyone would hear him.
At last, someone did.
“Damian? Damian, love, where are you?!”
Hope rushed through him. Damian pressed himself even closer to the rocks. He privately thanked all the gods that Julian could be very loud when he needed to.
“Julian!” he shouted. “Julian, I’m here!”
For a brief moment, he was terrified that Julian hadn’t heard. But at last, a response. Julian called his name again.
“I’m here!” Damian called again, hopefully for the last time. “I was an idiot, there was a landslide, and—”
“It’s alright!” Julian shouted. “It’s going to be alright. Are you hurt?”
“N-no,” said Damian. “I’m fine. Just… just get me out of here, please.”
It wasn’t fully the truth. He was a little scraped up, thanks to making sure Oswald got out. But he wasn’t worried about that. Not when he was stuck here, with no light, with stone all around him… 
“Alright.” Julian’s voice, though still loud, was still wonderfully reassuring. “Just try to stay calm, love. We’ll get you out of this, not to worry. Just need to find the right…”
His voice faded into incomprehensible mumbles. Damian started to hyperventilate again. He could almost feel the cave walls pressing in on him. And the sound of Julian trying to find a good way to dig him out did not help. Not when Damian had spent so long trying to dig himself out, just for it to end in vain…  
Then Julian cried out in triumph. “Found it! Damian, darling, step back a bit, if you can. And keep your face covered.”
Step back? In this impossibly small space? There was no back to go to, he could reach out and hit the wall.
On sheer nervous instinct, his arm flailed out at that exact thought. The walls next to him were certainly close. Enough for him to bang his upper arm. But there was nothing behind him. Not that he could touch, anyway.
It had to be enough space.
He stepped backwards. Once. Twice. Then, on the third step, his back hit the rock wall. Damian’s breath caught in his throat.
“Damian?” Julian called. “Are you ready? Is everything alright?”
Absolutely no part of this was alright. But he had to get out.
“Ready!” Damian called, trying to keep his voice steady.
If Julian gave a verbal reply, Damian didn’t hear it. But he did hear the shifting of rock. Loud enough to make Damian wince. If something went wrong, if the lost even more space…
The world rumbled. The debris covering the entrance to the little cavern shifted. Damian’s arms flew upwards, covering his face of their own accord. He heard a horrible sound: all the rocks crumbling to the ground. A burst of fresh air rippled through his hair.
“Damian!”
Julian’s voice. Gods, Damian had never been so glad to hear it.
He immediately opened his eyes… and blinked against the sudden light. That didn’t stop him from dashing out of the cavern as fast as his legs could carry him. He collided with Julian, his feet nearly flying out from under him as he stumbled over the rubble. Julian scooped him up. He pulled Damian as far away from the cavern as he could in the split second before Damian’s legs gave out completely.
Damian was breathing heavily. He buried his face against Julian’s shoulder. Julian held him gently, rubbing calming circles on his back.
It took a long moment for Damian to catch his breath. To stop shaking. And even then, he didn’t lift his head from Julian’s shoulder just yet.
“Gods,” he mumbled. “I hate it when I get like that…”
“Get like what, love?” said Julian, his tone still soothing.
“I… I completely lost it,” Damian admitted. “I didn’t even think about using magic…”
Julian stopped patting Damian’s back. He froze in total surprise. Damian smiled sarcastically, even though he knew Julian couldn’t see it.
“Claustrophobia sucks,” he said. “I don’t recommend it.”
Julian stayed frozen for another heartbeat. Then he laughed. Gods, what a glorious sound.
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Julian gently kissed the top of Damian’s head. “But you know it’s nothing to be ashamed of, don’t you?”
Damian mumbled into Julian’s shoulder again, a noncommittal noise. Then he finally lifted his head.
“How did you find me?” he asked. “Oswald?”
Oswald made a soft noise at them from his upside-down perch on the nearest tree.  
Julian went slightly pink. “Ah… well, yes, sort of. Oswald found me, really. But there’s a bit more to it than that.”
Damian gave him an expectant sort of look. So Julian told him everything. About the nightmares that he had refused to talk about for the past three days. About Asra figuring out that it might have been some kind of prediction. Talking about it made Julian look just as nervous and shaky as Damian had felt only moments ago. Now Damian was the one holding Julian steady.
“Hey,  Julian, it’s alright,” Damian said gently. “I’m sorry for worrying you so much.”
“I’m sorry you were caught up in all that,” said Julian. “If I had been there with you—”
“You still wouldn’t have been able to talk me out of going into that cavern,” Damian said with a little smile. “I had my heart set on those nettles.”
Julian’s eyes widened. “Nettles? That’s what all this was about?”
“Yes,” said Damian, unashamed. “Rare nettles with very valuable magical properties. You understand. I know you’ve done some dangerous things to acquire some of your medical supplies.”
“I… can’t argue with that,” said Julian, sounding very much like he wanted to argue with that. “But Damian, my love… we need to be careful. Especially around magic.”
Damian raised an eyebrow. “Is that what’s bothering you? The magic part of it?”
“I, uh… no?” said Julian. “Maybe? I don’t mind that you’re looking for supplies for your shop, love, of course I don’t, I only—”
Then, finally, Damian understood. “Julian… are you upset at yourself for not listening to your dream? For not trusting your magical instincts?”
“I didn’t even know they were magical instincts,” Julian said guiltily. “I never even thought to question them. Or, uh, to tell anyone about them, really. And thanks to that, I completely ruined our date.”
Damian couldn’t help it. He laughed.
“Julian, you did not ruin our date. You did the opposite, really.”
Julian stared at him, dumbfounded. “I… but, darling, that’s… uh…”
“You just heroically dashed to my rescue,” said Damian. “I can’t imagine anything more romantic than that. What better way to start a picnic? It’s like something out of those plays you’re so fond of.”
Julian looked taken aback for a moment. Then he started laughing, too.
“You’re just as fond of them as I am, love,” he said.
“I don’t think it’s physically possible for anyone to love theater as much as you do,” Damian said playfully.
“Touché,” Julian chuckled. “And speaking of theater… I have a surprise for you later.”
“Sounds wonderful,” said Damian. He wasn’t particularly surprised. But he would let Julian have his moment. He earned it. “Why don’t we start on that picnic first?”
Julian flushed. “Well, ah… there is a reason for that…”
“You left the basket in the shop, didn’t you?”
“I was worried about you!” Julian protested. “I didn’t have time to think about something like—”
He was quickly silenced when Damian caught his lips in a kiss. Damian smiled playfully at him as he pulled away. Julian was too stunned to respond.
“Come on,” said Damian. “Let’s go back together and pick everything up. We should tell Asra what happened, too. I’m sure he’s worried by now.”
“Probably,” Julian admitted.
They went back to the shop hand in hand… and quite possibly sticking a little more closely together than they normally did. Anything to make each other feel better.
Oswald, for his part, seemed very happy to be dropped off under Asra’s care after everything was said and done. He didn’t want to get involved with all the mushiness that was bound to happen during their date.
And it was quite mushy. But that was exactly what Julian and Damian had been looking forward to all this time.
