âYou know, Damianâs half convinced you let it happen.â Tim scoffs. âSounds like him.â âNot like that. Heâs different now, he wouldnât say that.â âWhat the hell else am I supposed to think?â âYou confronted Azrael alone, in civvies, after heâd already beaten you up once just for getting in his way. Is it that much of a stretch for Damian to think you might have had a death wish?â âI didnât have a death wish.â Steph gives him a long look. "Sure."

Finally made Lilith's mother, Amara Whitestrike. Yes she is blind, though she can see just not in the traditional sense. Sees souls more so then she does any sort of physical form. She met Sanguinius when he was moulting and rolling in the sand on Baal Secundus, where she had to try and stop herself from laughing at the sight of him. Gotta draw her eventually, this is just a mock up so I know what she generally looks like without falling into same face syndrome. Also she wears earrings made from Sanguinius' fallen feathers that he made for her :3
Thought it'd be cute since I have these two as having a very silly and cute relationship; it helps that she understands him and is pretty much the main thing that is convincing him he's not actually a demon. She tells him his soul would be far more twisted then it is. He doesn't ask how she knows this, but knows it's probably due to how she 'sees' the world. Apparently it's quite colourful, was able to see the Emperor despite his illusion when he came to Baal due to said sight. Of course by this time Lilith was also born, due to the fact she and Sanguinius knew each other long before the Emperor came along. Has very good hearing and a very good sense of smell. It was well known that she could hear a raven guard trying to silently pass her by. Apparently Astartes also have a very strong smell to them-
#Also I changed her lore from being a rogue trader to being a woman from Baal#She's technically a psyker since she can use pryomancy#It's her main form of defense actually#she just doesn't use it often because she doesn't need to#how this woman avoids the chaos gods is anyone's guess though again#might have something to do with the fact she literally can see souls#as a result this woman could take one look at the Sanguinor and tell people what it actually is#Does she though? Well she's dead by then so no#not unless she get mysteriously resurrected centuries later via warp bullshit#warhammer oc#Sanguinuis x oc#warhammer 40k#warhammer 30k#I just love the idea of Sanguinius making stuff for his beloved like a slightly more resourcful crow#Sanguinuis needs to be bird#They may have also become like this because of wing touching and accidentally getting the hormones going#woman has a hawk for a husband that likes bringing her shiny rocks#She's fine with it less fine with hawk husband's tendency to bring her giant fucking scorpions after Lilith is born#She understands why but does tell Hawk Husband that if he wants to bring her food and he can cook instead of hunting#Does Sanguinius know how to cook? Debatable

decided to throw my hat in the ring and try making a playlist
it's mostly made up of songs i think lisa and creature would like, songs that I think would fit them, and songs I think fit the vibe of the film
#lisa frankenstein#spotify playlist#there are so many oldies songs on here lol#i just like the idea of murderous Bonnie and Clyde-esque couples killing people with oldies music playing in the background (Ă la TEOTFW)#also the reason why the music box theme from the changeling is there is because I think creature and lisa would love the movie#creature would def learn the song on the piano and play it for his wife#I also think âhappy endingâ from frankenweenie would play when he resurrects her#i feel like âintroduction (titles)" from edward scissorhands or âmain titlesâ from corpse bride could fit for the opening scene too#âque sera seraâ is supposed to be a heathers reference since the song plays in the beginning of the movie#âplease don't ask meâ reminds me of what creature would be thinking after finding out about lisa's crush on michael trent#âsomething stupidâ (the better call saul version) feels like it'd play during a montage of lisa and her husband#specifically a montage of them killing and dismembering people then getting rid of the bodies lol#âlove themeâ from flashdance just matches the overall vibe so well#this playlist really makes me want a TEOTFW-style sequel where lisa and creature go on a road trip and gather new parts for her#also taffy finds out that lisa's not actually dead and goes on a journey to find her (not to turn her in but just to get closure)#Spotify

yugioh darlings. how do we feel about bakura being a reincarnated thief (who stole from tombs) and he is interested in the occult, likely including seances and necromancy. how are we feeling about rpg au necromancer bakura
#there could be a whole adventuring party of just bakuras#a necromancer a rogue and idk what yami bakura would be#im a fake gamer i dont know that many dnd classes#im kinda leaning sorceror but i still feel like he should be able to stab people#wait given the zork situation would he be a warlock?#that or like. a fucked up paladin in that his justified moral outrage was twisted into something else by an evil god#do we have fucked up paladins? i think we oughta#so much of my rpg knowledge is from fire emblem but daggers only exist in fates#and none of the dagger classes really fit him#i know we have the canon rpg arc but. still.#plus the part where he became the change of heart#nothing can convince me that bakura is a white mage slash healer#i can accept necromancer or dark mage that also knows some healing spells but like the kinda fucked type#fantasy jonouchi who is obviously a warrior of some sort starts being more careful in battle when he realizes bakuras idea of healing is#making a temporary pact with a demon so they heal his allies. or communing with slash resurrecting a dead cleric

The wizards said the orangutan would be able to lead them back to the dungeon in a couple days.
What a sentence, Chilchuck thought. It seemed to him that heâd been saying a lot of things with full sincerity that weeks ago wouldâve been total gibbering nonsense.
The others had wandered off into the city like tourists. Laios was spending the day in some kind of pet shelter for dragons. Senshi had mentioned bringing Izutsumi to check out the local dwarven cooking. Rats were apparently involved, to his total lack of surprise.
He had decided to hole up in the nearest bar that would accept a fistful of foreign coins. He was at the stage of buzz that felt as though someone was wrapping a woollen blanket around his head, and it was loosening his tongue.
âAnd heâs a good kid,â he was saying. âHeâs a good kid, heâs even a good fighter, but heâs got all the social skills of a dead donkey. This is a guy who hears that he has to eat part of his sister, and the first thing he says is-â
THE EGG IS PLACED ON TOP OF THE BACON?
He paused mid-ramble and blinked stickily at the stranger seated next to him. âSorry?â
WHAT STRUCTURAL SUPPORT DOES THE BACON OFFER THE EGG?
He blinked again. âItâs for,â he tried. âYou know. So you can eat the egg and bacon at the same time.â
INSTEAD OF CONSUMING THE ELEMENTS OF THE BREAKFAST SEPARATELY.
âRight.â
BUT IN THIS EXERCISE, YOU WISH TO REMOVE THE EGG FROM THE BACON.
âRight â right! The idea is if we take away the half of Falin thatâs a dragon, we can resurrect the human half of her.â
THUS UNFRYING THE EGG.
He screwed an eye shut and tried to make out the face of the stranger through the three images swirling in the hot, lightheaded haze. It looked like a very skinny face.
âIâm starting to lose the food metaphor,â he mumbled. âMy point is, the further we go to fix this problem, the worse it gets. And itâs not that i have a problem with resurrection â have you ever been resurrected?â
NO, BUT I HAVE BEEN WITNESS TO PART OF IT.
âSome people are weird about it. Senshiâs weird about it too, but heâs the one who suggested it. Anyways, itâs not that I have a problem with resurrection, I just donât like the idea of eating an old coworker.â
Another sentence that would have been nonsense barely a week ago. He tried to shrug and missed. âI guess they say, âEat to live, donât live to eat.ââ
A STRANGE THING TO SAY. A PARADOX OF SOME KIND, IâM SURE.
He was beginning to feel a slight headache. âNo, it means, like â treat food as a fuel, a necessity, donât get fussy about the experience of eating it.â
THEY ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. The stranger plucked a paper umbrella out of their drink. They twirled it thoughtfully between very skinny fingers. I WOULD RECOMMEND A CURRY, they said. IâVE ALWAYS BEEN FOND OF A CURRY.

i have to get this out of the way, re: dungeon meshi discussions
major spoilers ahead, obviously.
you know for a series that focuses so much on platonic and familial relationships itâs weird that dungeon meshi has attracted so much useless ship wars though. the most important driving force in the story is two sibling relationships (laiosâs search for falin, thistleâs search for delgal) and one of the central themes is how loving others way too much can lead to your downfall (thistleâs desperate attempt to keep his loved ones leads to his mental state deteriorating so much he starts torturing people he claims to protect, marcilleâs fear of losing her friends leads to her being easily manipulated by the main antagonist)
even with regards to falin. thistle wants to bring the âbrotherâ he raised back at all costs, he saw a young human woman as nothing more than a dragon, his tool. marcille wants to bring falin back at all costs, she didnât care about the repercussions of using monster meat instead of animal meat even though she was an expert at ancient magic and should know why itâs such a dangerous practice.
each and every single one of the major characters has some form of tragedy with their family one way or another: the toudens, marcille and her dad. chilchuck and his wife. senshiâs entire backstory. izutsumiâs hidden desire for a mother. namariâs father. shuro and his family. kabru and his mother(both tallman and elf). mithrun and his brother. thistle and the melinis.
even some of the minor characters: flamela and her dead twin sister. the twins and the floke couple. kuro being the closest mickbell has to a family. etc etc
as someone who has reread this manga several times by now, i wonder if people just⌠read it once as fast as they could and act like theyâre some sort of authority on fan discussion. iâve seen people brag about reading the entire thing in one sitting as if itâs something to be proud of. this manga isnât meant to be read that fast, thatâs how you get people claiming that laios doesnât reaaally love falin as much as marcille does.
to these people, laios just gets in the way, as if it wasnât his idea to go down the dungeon in the first place, it wasnât him who said his pain doesnât matter because falin suffered more than him, it wasnât him who felt immense guilt for leaving falin behind, it wasnât him who found her skull, it wasnât him who killed her to save her from her chimera form. i feel like people forget about the âtooâ part when marcille said âi miss falin tooâ
marcille knows how much falin and laios love each other. thatâs why she asked him if sheâs allowed to resurrect her and didnât act on her own. thatâs why when both times a shapeshifting monster copied marcille to trick laios, it was what she looked like at the time she was reviving falin.
as someone who DOES ship farcille, none of the romance is canon. this isnât meant to be anti-farcille. one of the post-canon comics is about falin gently turning down shuro because she wants to travel the world, âyou canât tie a dragon downâ after all. she wants to travel the world and find herself because she doesnât know who she is outside of marcille and laios. even marcille, who was hoping sheâd reject him, tears up because of how beautiful and tragic it was.
there are a lot of ship teases because what author doesnât like a good ship tease. but to say that dungeon meshi is a romantic love more than it is a story about family(both real and found) is a great misinterpretation of the text.

Tamsyn Muir's writing beyond The Locked Tomb
Y'all, turns out there's lots of imagery and themes in TLT that Muir was already playing with in her earlier fiction. A lot of it is easily available online, in which case I'll link to it. (The short stories that aren't can also be easily read if googled, to be quite honestâthat's how I read The Deepwater Bride and Why the Mermaids Left Boralus). ⢠The House That Made the Sixteen Loops of Time (2011)
5K. Short sort-of-cozy romance (?) with (you guessed it) a time travel loop. Explores a very queer potential relationship. CamPal enjoyers might find a similar sweetness.
⢠The Magician's Apprentice (2012, Lightspeed Magazine)
5K. This is the one that stopped me dead on my tracks. It features an older, male mentor figure called John (a âvery ordinary manâ with âdark eyesâ) who introduces the young, female main character to magic that has a terrible costâand to literature such as Lolita. This excellent post by @familyabolisher does an incredible job of analyzing the very deliberate intertextual links between TLT and Lolita.
⢠The Woman in the Hill (2015, Lightspeed Magazine, originally for Dreams From the Witch House anthology of Lovecraftian horror by women)
4K. Possibly my favorite! It's a straightforward Lovecraftian horror, centered on the image of the woman (is it human though?) trapped in an unnatural pool inside a cursed cave. Chain imagery too. It does something different from Alecto, mind, but you can see links, ways of playing with facets of a strong central image. It's fun to consider how reliable the two narrators are. Here's an analysis and afterthought from Reactor Mag.
⢠Chew (2013) 4K. Zombie abuse and cannibalistic revenge story ft. an uncanny woman revenant, told from the eyes of a traumatized German boy. I was strongly reminded of Harrow's conversations with the Body. Tamsyn gave an interview on the themes and her intentions. Interesting to read in light of Alecto, I think, although I don't think she's going the same route in TLT: âthe idea of post-war rebuilding connecting to rebuilding the body of the zombie; a Frankenstein who once rebuilt doesnât act as planned or desired. [âŚ] I love cannibalism [âŚ] itâs innately spiritual [âŚ] any afterlife she goes to, heâs going too.â
⢠Apothecia (2014, published on Tumblr and tapas.io)
Short webcomic where an alien monster tries to corrupt the ruthless human girl who holds it captive. Musings on responsibility and murder, mention of child abuse. The alien's speech patterns remind me of a Resurrection Beast. You get wonderful dialogue like âMurder is a profession. Job. Employment, you tiny leg dog. There you are, walking along. Walk walk walk. Now you are a walker. Good job. Special child. Murder is like this.â Art by Shelby Cragg.
⢠The Deepwater Bride (2015, Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine)
The opening line is: âIn the time of our crawling Night Lord's ascendancy, foretold by exodus of starlight into his sucking astral wounds, I turned sixteen and received Barbie's Dream Car.â Need I say more? Extremely fun. A novelette where a young queer girl from a clairvoyant family struggles with an apocalyptic event while being annoyed by another very plucky girl. Lots of descriptions with nerdy marine zoology terms. Close in tone to Gideon. In the background, someone dies EXACTLY like that one death at the end of Gideon, which makes me wonder what happened to make Tamsyn interested in this particular image. I also liked that Tamsyn is aware of Nightwish. No link, but you'll get a PDF immediately if you Google.
⢠Union (2015, Clarkesworld Magazine)
5.5K. Very weird, extremely Kiwi story about a town that gets sent lab-grown wives by the government, but they're not made the usual way so they're Weird and people have feelings about it. Fascinating and eerie description of non-human (in some people's eyes, sub-human) women (?) who cannot be observed to have recognizable feelings or thoughts, yet have some sort of inner life. Quite touching, very uncanny.
⢠Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower (2020)
Short novel (~200 pages). Very funny. I was reminded of Coronabeth because the whole plot is âprincess finds herself branching out into decidedly non-princess-like activitiesâ, but other than thatâthis is a fairytale for adults about people who make eachother worse. No particular links to TLT but a very fun read with some gut punches. Extremely Tamsyn through and through, what with the dubious morality and all.
⢠Why the Mermaids Left Boralus (2021, in Folk & Fairy Tales of Azeroth by Blizzard Entertainment)
Set in the World of Warcraft universe. Haven't read this one yet, will report back lmao. As with The Deepwater Bride, no link but I easily found a PDF of the entire compilation. It's illustrated!
⢠Undercover (2022, from Into Shadow, Amazon Original Collection)
Haven't read it either. Will edit once I do.
#TLT#TLT meta#The Locked Tomb#Tamsyn Muir#TLT analysis#Chew#The Magician's Apprentice#The House That Made the Sixteen Loops of Time#Why the Mermaids Left Boralus#Union#Undercover#Princess Floralinda#Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower#The Deepwater Bride#The Woman in the Hill#Alectopause#Tamsyn#tazmuir#Apothecia

is this a safe space. (kind)
wanted to try my hand at redesigning melanie and even writing a little for her since we still barely know anything.... criticism ahead (NOTHING TERRIBLE)
her design just doesnt. make sense to anything. its things mashed together and its cute but the more you think about it you go "....so why is this here exactly?" it reads more of an artists oc than a character that is crucial to a story.
so i decided "heh... how do i make most of this work." it leaned more into the tv head aspect, but i decided on a design that takes inspo from cartoons i saw as a kid! like max and ruby etc. i thought using the kids show idea would make it way more fun to write her post-resurrection. im a sucker for ai/characters that learn about their mortality and boundary break. Monika and Kinito Pet are big inspos. thought her learning about the game and her part in it would lead to some fun exploration into the elevator itself and whats behind it.... and more about folly eventually. not delving into the axosun cult i really think thats a poob centric story for the game.
!!pleasw dont take this as pure criticism. i think the potential for her character is really good!! (although i admit at first i was a bit upset she wasnt staying dead as a driving force, and i have seperate gripes about other designs) i just wanted to do this for fun really fast. im excited to see how the story continues!

Jane Espenson writing the majority of Spike episodes where he shows positive character growth, the fact that Spike is the antithsis of Angel and that Joss Wheadon hated his popularity can not be by coincidence.
I know I'm connecting a lot of dots with this one (that have probably been connected before), but she quiet literally wrote the episode where he is reintroduced in season 4 with "Harsh Light of Day", where he becomes part of the Scoobies with "Pangs", "Doomed" and "A New Man".
Then later on in Season 5 saved his character with the masterful "Intervention" where in the same episode she writes Spike creating the sexbot he also shows his worth by being tortured (where we see him being penetrated) and not breaking.
In the season 6 episode she wrote "After Life" where we see Spike's trauma of Buffy dying and how he is literally the only Scoobie to be able to look after her after being resurrected, as he himself has gone through the trauma of dying then digging out of his own grave. Also in this episode we see that he has now taken the mantel of Dawn's supernatural protector, out of surviors guilt from the events of the season 5 finale, and then later on how those events have haunted him every night. Jane then wrote Spike to be the only person in Doublemeat Palace to offer Buffy a way out of working there.
Season 7 Jane co-wrote the highly acclaimed "Conversations with Dead People" then "Sleeper" and "First Date" where we see Spike's fall to The First and where he killed people, but also where we see how he has risen in Buffy's eye's to being trustworthy in "First Date".
With all this being said you can probably understand now why I'd say a lot of Spike nuance is credited to Jane Espenson. To quote James in the SDCC 2012 Buffy panel "Joss would come up to me about 3 episodes in to every season and say he has no idea what to do with me", so this meant the other writers (mostly Jane) to take over with writing Spike. So you can see why it's not too far fethced to say she is the reason behind his popularity as she set a lot of the ground work after s2, outside of James's himself giving a masterful preformance. Later on in the SDCC 2012 Buffy Panel she says "we knew we had this amazingly verstial character largely because we had this amazingly verstial actor, we knew whatever we put infront of James he could do..." this shows that she felt comfortable making Spike into whatever she wanted.
For my last point, there's a lot of examples here that the fandom loves to highlight Spike's being Angel's opposite, like how Spike's treament of a Minor having a crush on him compared to the soul having Angel's. Spike's complete polar opposite on how he see's love as something postive to protect, where as Angelus's use of love as a tool to torture someone with. William loved and respected women where as Liam only used the ones around him.
This all leads me to the conclusion that Spike was more popular than Angel mostly because of Jane's input and groundwork on the character after season 2, and we all know how Joss felt about Spike's popularity and there's no way Jane didn't make all his postive traits the opposite of Angel by coincidence.
Thank you Jane for creating what I believe to be one of the best characters in media history and for being the original Spike girlie.
#btvs#spike btvs#btvs spike#spike#buffy the vampire slayer#buffy#buffyv#jane espenson#this is what happens when i dont have work a good amount of sleep and a lot of caffiene#merry xmas to the spike fandom i know how you all love a big write up on spike

TC DP idea
 I need there to be a Danny Phantom True Crime fic from an outsider POV. like Vlad died and they're investigating and they end up finding out about his contact with Danny. I'm imagining deaged Ellie and the suspicions around that especially if we also have deaged Dan who is literally a fusion of Vlad and Danny. Every single person they have talked to definitely is like if anyone killed Vlad it'd be Danny but also being like it probably be justified, which brings up so many questions for the police.
 Danny lets these two police officers into his home into a house that's fully funded by vlads money after he's put down Dan and Elle for a nap. Danny is being so dodgy about his whereabouts but also fully not being shy about thinking that vlad got himself killed by doing something stupid. I also think it'd be very funny if they try and persuade Danny to tell them more by saying that they'll help set him up with some sort of financial compensation or job because his income to them has died but then Danny reveals that he probably gets everything in the will.Â
I also think it'd be very funny if Vlad isn't actually fully dead like he ends up getting Resurrected and it gets even weirder. If Danny and Vlad end up talking in front of people they are fully fighting Vlad is being all weird and Danny is actively like I wish you were actually dead. Everything either of them is saying is not helping the idea that Danny actively tried to kill Vlad.

Yandere Capitano thought
Genshin Impact 5.1 Archon Quest Spoiler Warning
So in act four of the Archon Quest we see that whole war and just the devastation it has on Natlan, over two thousand people who could not be resurrected. With Capitano lending his and his subordinates strength to the Pyro Archon it is only natural that he sees some of the most terrible of things in this war, including a very harrowing sight after he cleared out another group of monsters from the Abyss. It was near a remote farm house and he was going to help them evacuate to the stadium but he was far too late. When he goes to check the house everyone was dead, not a soul around except a young woman.
She was clearly not a fighter, crying, shaking and curled up in a corner while covered in the blood of her family. The image of this just sends him back five hundred years to all the people he could not protect, and this poor thing did not ask to be born in the nation of war and she clearly wants little to do with the traditions of her people with the pilgrimage and the night warden wars, so why should she be here?
The Captain does not have much time to dwell on her in the moment, just picking up the shocked girl and handing her off to his subordinates to get her to safety. Capitano had saved hundreds of people by that point but the people of Natlan had courage and she clearly did not, it just struck a chord with him.
He does not see her again until it is all over, while people are celebrating their victory, she is alone with no where to go and no one to be with, they were all dead. She is just sitting by herself while everyone else who fought is at least somewhat happy with their victory. Then Capitano overhears the words she speaks to another, one of the new heroes or perhaps the Archon herselfâŚ
âI wish I died with them.â
Her friends had started their futureâŚ
Her brothers and sisters were married or had their partnersâŚ
Her parents had each otherâŚ
But she has no oneâŚ
She is the only one left to mourn what happened to them, and no one there is there to truly comfort her because everyone else is busy or counting their own losses.
The Captain is able to recognize her potential self destructive behavior and is smart enough to have his subordinates keep a close eye on her after he heard that because there is just something about herâŚ
Then the next time he sees her is when one of his subordinates drags her to him, she is crying and yelling at them to let her go and at first the Captain is irritated that his subordinate would handle her like this, well that is until he is told what happened.
She tried to join her familyâŚ
In death.
In her mind she has nothing left to live for, but thanks to this the Captain has found his something to give his life true meaning again, to protect her from rotting away.
(Just when I was adding the tags to this I remembered the song Flowers from Hadestown and it just fits so well with this idea)

The Changes Through Time
And my project is finish! My gift to the CAS series and @somerandomdudelmao! (This is technically supposed to be for the 1 year anniversary of CAS, but I don't have the time to post it on the 12th and I don't understand the queue system lol)
I deeply love this series as I have made fanart for it before several times and honestly it really improved my art. Cass is also an amazing creator and I look forward to anything they post in the future.
(A bit of a spiel about the illustrations from this point on)
I was honestly going to go for more of a tarot card style with boarders and everything, but as I was composing the 1st illustration, I ditched the idea and just when for simple text. The third image (like how tarot cards read the past, present/current, & future) was going to be the present, but honestly I was confused enough trying to decide which illustration was the past & future with the first two. Plus the "current" state of the story doesn't have much significance yet (and references of them aren't made because it's generally their other outfits) so I went with their spirits!
1st illustration: Representing the start of it all with the current state of all the characters. Of course we didn't know the condition of Raph in the beginning, but since he remained static until Casey found him I believe it's safe to assume that he was in that state the whole time. This illustration is unfortunately my least favorite because it's not rendered the same as the others, due to it being the first fully rendered image I've done in a while. But oh well, I still like it for the most part.
2nd illustration: Representing all of the turtles resurrections with a group hug. Not much else to note about the meaning other than the fact that I almost gave Leo an arm that he does not have. This one was also the greatest to render as I had the most fun with the bright colors. This one is definitely my favorite.
3rd illustration: Representing the turtles spirits when they were dead. Though the last one was the best to render, this one was the best to compose as a whole. Mikey and Donnie were the easiest to do since their broken states were shown in the comic, but with Raph and Leo I had to be a bit creative. With Raph I wanted to show the lack of his senses due to being in a robot for a long time and everything being subconscious. It's not as strongly detailed as the others, but he did have the most stable conditions compared to the rest of his brothers. With Leo I wanted to display his lack of self physically. Since he was fading away, at first, I wanted his spirit to be more faded and weaker compared to the rest.
Nothing else to be said that wasn't said before, but I am very glad that I started reading CAS. I've never felt more invested and moved by a fanmade comic before, so this experience is actually life changing for me. And seeing others fanart for it only inspired me! I am truly amazed by Cass and this series. Happy early 1 year anniversary

Wayne Brothersâ Gala Girl
synopsis: Bruce Wayneâs galas are held every once in a blue moon, but when they did occur, every Gotham socialite was sure to attend. The eldest sons of Gothamâs favorite billionaire always wound up in some trouble to entertain themselves, this time the brothersâ idea of fun was a beautiful woman who looked almost as bored as them.
notes: Jason Todd & Dick Grayson x reader, 3rd person pov, little bit đśď¸, inspired by the painting above.
The Eldest Wayne brothers found themselves in the quietest corner of the gala, bored with no idea of what they can get into this time around to beat last galaâs âperformanceâ as they would call it.
âWe could set off the fire alarm,â Dick suggests lazily to his younger brother.
âWhat are we twelve? Most of the people here already think weâre still fifteen.â
âNo, they think youâre still fifteen because you were legally dead for like four years.â
âShut up, dickwad.â
âHER!â Dick exclaimed, âHer, her, her, her!â
âYou were Robin not a fucking parrot, her what?â
âThat beautiful beautiful woman right there that looks even more miserable than we do with those tuxedo vultures circling her.â
Tuxedo vultures was spot on. These rich pigs had her trapped, all trying to win her attention one at a time, attempting a better pitch than the last guy. Any kind of manners that were instilled in her from an early age couldnât apply after the third man insisted that he was the perfect man for her, actually, the perfect man for any proper woman, brains or not. All of the men here were the exact same, they believed their money and family were enough to flatter any woman here, that having any form of a likable personality or distanct traits besides snobbery was, ânot something women really wanted.â
The woman couldnât control her eye roll after the second attempted joke was made, averting her gaze where her eyes landed on the two men who already had their bright eyes on her, Bruce Wayneâs oldest sons.
She didnât have a problem with the Wayne Family of course, she was after all attending their gala, it was just some of the guests that she wasnât so fond of.
âWhat about her?â Jason looks over to who Dick was fawning over. Jason wasnât blind, actually his vision only got better after he was resurrected, he too thought that the woman was beautiful, maybe one of the most beautiful women heâd ever seen, which is why he immediately shut Dick down, knowing what he was going to try to do.
âNo, Dick. No chance, leave her alone.â
âI donât think she wants me to,â Dick replies as the woman returns his famous flashy grin with a soft smile.
Dick had been trying to get JasonâŚwell more out there after the whole dying, coming back to life, and then out in the public eye again thing. Jason died young, he barely got a chance to live his teenage years so whenever Jayâs attracted to someone, he starts acting like a teenage boy but at the age of twenty instead of sixteen.
Dick, make every girl swoon over him since his Robin days, Grayson mastered the whole girl thing by now and is trying to be his not so little brotherâs tonightâs wingman.
âFollow me,â Dick whispers to Jason, not taking his eyes of the beauty across from him.
Dick and a hesitant Jason make their way over to the group of men that were all secretly jealous of their father, probably jealous of his sons too, interrupting the lifeless conversation and taking all of her focus off the vultures and onto him and Jason.
âGood evening gentlemen, how are we doing tonight?â Jason almost gagged at his at his brotherâs fake politeness, he was always the better one at socializing, his charming personality didnât stop at women.
âRichard Grayson, boy youâve certainly grown up since I last saw you!â An older man around Bruceâs age greets him stirring up the rest of the men.
âDick Grayson huh, pleasure to finally meet Gothamâs new prince.â
âI hear youâre very popular with the ladies,â the group erupted into laughter, these men really love any jokes to do with a woman donât they?
âAnd you must be Bruceâs other son, Tim is it?â Jasonâs takes his eyes off the woman to give the man a slight scowl, he promised Bruce heâd behave tonight.
âNo, no, thatâs Jason the one thatâŚâ one of the men tries to begin to tell the epic tale of Jason Todd.
âSay, we would love to stay and chat but our date has been waiting for us for quite a bit now,â Dick quickly interrupts him before Jason pulls out any kind of weapon on these men and offers his hand to the woman.
She places her hand into his thinking that sheâd rather be a damsel in a in distress in need of saving by a knight, or in Gothamâs case a masked vigilante, instead of spending another moment with some men that are old enough to be her father thinking about howâd she make the perfect trophy wife and the younger who simply want to get laid after the gala. As Dick pulls her away from the hungry drunken men, she offers her hand to Jason who gives her a confused and flustered look.
âIf Iâm not mistaken, Mr. Grayson said our date,â she says to him in the most soothing and charming voice Jasonâs ever heard.
Forcing himself to snap out of this teenage haze, Jason takes her hand earning a smile from both her and his brother.
âI hope you donât mind us whisking you away like that, you just seemed like you werenât enjoying yourself,â Dick started, never dropping his darling smile.
âI donât mind at all, I needed an excuse to get away from them,â the woman looks back at the men as they watch the brothers walk away with their âprizeâ in envy, âgod theyâre pathetic,â she sighs.
âTell me about it,â Jason mumbles beside her.
âAll night Iâve been surrounded by these people that only talk about their money, their jobs, their mansion and penthouses, itâs a bit exhausting, they really canât think of anything else to discuss. Itâs fascinating that they really think thatâs the way to win over a woman.â
âWell I can promise you weâre a lot more interesting than that,â Dick laughs, âWe also have access to all parts of the manor, how about Jason and I give you a little tour?â Dick states rather than asks earning a questioning look from Jason about what heâs planning.
âIf you insist.â
Jason knew how Dick wanted him to jump into the dating pool. He frequently tried to set him up with either other vigilantes so he wouldnât have to worry about his partner 24/7, or an ordinary Gotham citizen where Jason could escape from Gothamâs criminals and Red Hood duties to enjoy a semi-normal life. What Jason wasnât understanding was why Dick had a chosen a woman that he was madly attracted to as well.
As Dick began his small tour of the manor, Jason stood awkwardly alongside the woman who was attentively watching his older brother and the places he showed. Jason didnât know if he should join in or take over, make some small talk, he was sort of frozen in place and shy. Youâd think that the big bad Red Hood who always had a mouth on him since he was Robin and would break Batmanâs moral code would be the last person to get nervous around a pretty girl, maybe Red Hood wouldnât but Jason Todd would.
âAnd this is the library, Jasonâs favorite place in the manor,â Jason was snapped out of his thoughts when Dick mentioned his name, âonce he comes in here you wonât see him for hours.â
âBig reader?â It took a moment for Jason to realize that the question was for him and not Dick.
âYea, um, yes, I love literature.â
âReally, would do you love to read?â She was now fully focused on Jason who was struggling to maintain eye contact as his cheeks and ears were colored red.
He couldnât keep his cool physically but he could try verbally, âclassics,â he responded simply, not adding more to his portion of the conversation to which Dick internally sighed to.
âDostoevsky, Shakespeare, Austen?â The charming woman tried to get something out of the boy.
âAll of them, and more of course,â Jason gave her a shy smile.
She heads towards the leather chair that Jason always sits in, making herself comfortable in his spot.
âThis where you sit, get lost in all those stories you read?â
Something about her sitting in his chair made his blood rush. The way that she had made it look twice the size bigger being half the size of Jason, the way she relaxed into his chair, sinking into his molding. The boy was so mesmerized he forgot to answer her question.
Dick noticed and decided to swoop in, âMhm, right here,â Dick drags now standing over her, âheâs a very smart guy you know with all the books he reads, runs in the family.â
She slowly shifted her gaze from Jason to Dick who was getting closer and closer, âI guess the looks do too, interesting for adopted brothers,â earning a smile from both boys.
âExcuse my brother for his shortness, we usually occupy ourselves with stunts at these galas, not beautiful women,â Dick says switching the attention back onto Jason, âhe can get pretty shy.â Normally that statement would earn a punch to the shoulder or at least a nasty remark but Dick was right, Jason was pretty shy around pretty girls.
Dick and the mystery woman were now smiling at Jason who was leaned against the wall, close enough to where he can see the rise and fall of her chest, but far enough from engaging the way Dick was.
Dick gently tilts her head up with his large calloused hands forcing their gala girl to look up at him, âWhat do you think of my brother?â
Now it was the womanâs turn to be painted red, âI think heâs one of the most handsome and intriguing men Iâve ever seen.â
âAnd me?â Dick pouts.
âI think youâre one of the most handsome and charming man iâve ever come across,â she says in a sultry tone that lures the boys in like sailors to a siren.
Both Dick and Jasonâs blood is rushing, relishing in the fact that this goddess of a woman found the boys to be worthy of her attraction, that nobody else at the gala was as good as them.
âTell me something, both of you,â she starts, âwhy stray from your usual chaos and shenanigans to show me around your manor?â
âYouâre much more intriguing than anything we had in mind,â says Jason surprisingly boldly as he moves closer to her.
âYouâre the most entertaining here tonight, baby,â adds in Dick who quickly got back his confidence after a brush to his ego.
âI heard I was beautiful too,â she teased, trying to get the higher ground again.
âI bet you get told that a lot, donât you angel? You think thatâs what those pigs were telling her Jay? How much of a pretty girl she is,â It was too late though, once Dick Grayson got wound up, he got complete control, âNow you tell me something doll, did they tell you how sexy you look in that dress of yours?â She shakes her head no, any kind of witty and teasing responses wiped from her pretty head, âAw, well thatâs just wrong, Jason tell her how good she looks in that dress.â
Both eyes are on Jason, waiting for his compliment, âShe looksâyou look stunning in that dress,â Dick was waiting for more, he knew Jason had the vocabulary he just needed the push, âYou suit my color, redâs my favorite,â now they were getting something out of him.
âIâll be sure to think of you when I wear red again,â god she was good. Dick had to bring the power back to him and Jason again, this all quickly became a game to him, his real entertainment for tonightâs gala.
âAnd what if we got rid of the red,â Dick slips the strap of her dress off her shoulder causing her to shudder, heâs in control again, âhowâs that look?â
âFuck,â Jason whispered under his breath.
âI think Jason feels the same way about it as I do,â with how quiet it was in the library his whisper was heard easily by the two, âwhat do you think pretty, you think itâs better?â
She felt like how Jason felt in the beginning, mesmerized and stunned. From Dick talking to her so confidently and his usage of pet names, to the way Jason was losing his fucking mind over her.
âYâgonna answer me or are you gonna keep looking at Jay with fuck me eyes?â Dick wasnât jealous, he was trying to tease the two, get them riled up.
Before she gets to respond thereâs a knock at the door, âMaster Richard and Master Jason, Master Bruce requests your attendance for at least another half hour.â
âWeâll be right out Alfred,â Richard quickly answered before Alfred could barge in on the scene, âshall we?â
Dick heads towards the door as Jason and their gala girl slowly fix themselves up, avoiding any kind of eye contact with each other.
Dick stops Jason before they head back out to the gala, âYouâre welcome, Jaybird.â

I love your au!!! I love how the hylian duo look like gremlins, I LOVE the expressions and sass constantly and the changes to the lore, the worldbuilding and also the emotions (OUCH). I love their relationship with purah and each other and the new champions. I love the depth you gave Yona and her relationship with Sidon and Mipha. I love how link feels comfortable talking to sidon in addition to sign, I don't know if he does that with anyone else but Zelda unless its absolutely necessary (eg: just launched out a cannon and is paragliding down, so hands are busy) (side note: i love how much of an adrenalin junky/gremlin he is!!)
I do got a few questions! Will the pair get the sheikah slate again (so say link has the slate and zelda the pad), and can both slates do the warping and item storage (food, ingredients, armor, weapons, etc) (if so: no WONDER link was so upset! His collection!)
Does link have access to the ultrahand abilities (ik you said not The ultrahand, but what about fuse or ascend or rewind etc?) Where is the mastersword??
Does Link still have the champions' abilities, or did he lose those when their spirits moved on at the end of botw?
I know these are a lot of questions but I can't stop thinking about it!! The last few updates sent me back rereading the whole au and now its just vibrating in my head and giving me no piece
This is long and rambly, just know I am very much enjoying this au! Its silly and fun and touching and cute. Thank you for working on it!!
Oo some notes (also ty for circling my au haha im glad other people fixate like i do)
(Prewarningâ i did not finish totk despite putting triple hours in it, so a lot of this story is being written while playing, though i know the big broad strokes thanks to cultural osmosis and video essays. A lot of Familiar Familiar builds from my playthrough with BOTW over TOTK, so the sheikah influence is significantly stronger and I will always choose botw characterization over totk characterization as a result.)
That aside
1. Sheikah slateâs dead. Rest in pieces, linkâs rare collectable korok poop. Purahâs extracting as much data as she can to put on the purah pad but you can see the dread in her eyes whenever she has to tell link resurrection is not possible.
2. No idea about the zonai arm powers yetâ im thinking about ascend, but the longer i go through this story the less likely ill hand it to him just due to immersion breakage. He and zelda will be getting sheikah gadgets from purah though! Maybe ill have a scene of him wandering through the sky island shrines, but without zelda warning rauru he and sonia wouldnt have prepared anything for the hero of the future. (But i DO love ascension and fuse. Lowkey dislike the building mechanics from a concept art pov because the green glue makes me want to cry, but itâs FINE i GUESS)
2b. Master swordâs chilling in korok forest. Link put it back in this au because of Reasons (part of his and zeldaâs characterization in this au is to discard their past roles and embrace the present, not as knight and princess but as hero and researcher. They both have to face the reality those roles arenât dead, but itâs a work in progress. I may also never address it. This âone off hehe lemme draw some guysâ idea quickly spiraled into a web comic series so apologies for the vagueness, because i too am watching them adventure with dread and awe and i donât know where theyâll go with it. They literally write themselves.
3. Rip champions, their ghosts are Gone (but their influence remains. You go mipha, keep haunting the narrative girl, i love you)
I know that some of these story notes donât quite match up to what totk states is stone cold canon, but thatâs the joy of fan work! Anyways sorry for folks who i have NOT answered asks ofâ i have a lot of them and Iâm much better at the drawing and writing part then the socialization aspect (please feel free to peak in to my zoo enclosure ever so often though. I need the enrichment)
#ask#ah enough people asked these questions that i feel i should have a disclaimer#i may have 190 hours in totk#i still have no idea whats happening#brain emptier then a can of air
