I took my son to a teen driving school yesterday called Street Survival, where they teach you the things they don’t teach in regular driving schools. Things like emergency lane changes and hard braking in your daily driver car. Also a skid pad and a slalom. Everyone should go this school, it teaches proper driving dynamics, not just the basics of driving. The streets would be a lot safer if this were a requirement.
Here he is having fun on the slalom, he did pretty well!

Imma need to read about street kids Jason and Billy meeting because these two are on opposite ends of the homeless twelve years old spectrum and by that I mean I can't believe Jason was the one who got accidentally trafficked*:
Jason: *successfully steals 3/4 tires of the batmobile, says "who says I took'em" and "try and catch me you big boob", hits Batman with a tire iron, successfully escapes capture for a couple of blocks, really makes him work for it.*
Billy: *is accosted by a stranger in a turncoat at night asking him what he's doing here*: "I am homeless and I have no money so I sleep in the subway because it is warm." /The stranger: "follow me."/ Billy: *immediately fucking does.*
Like, if I were Shazam I too would be giving Billy godlike abilities, because with these preservation instincts that looks like about the only way this kid is gonna live through the winter.
*I'm talking about Ma'gunn, pretty sure that counts as child trafficking.
#dc#jason todd#billy batson#captain marvel#shazam#robin ii#robin#batman & robin#dc comics#fawcett comics#god I love comics this is so silly#idk what the rules are for surviving at 12 years old on the streets#but i know they're not that#can you believe all of this dialogue is canon

Haunted car au pt 4
Previous
Jason was worried. He bet the new kid some good money to just put a sticker on the Batmobile. It would serve B right for parking it so close to his Alley, and let him give the kid some cash for new clothes. The kid hadn't come back, though. It shouldn't have taken him this long. He had watched the alley that Bruce had parked, only to see the Batmobile launch out from in between the buildings and speed off. When he checked the alley, there was no kid. He knew the kid would not have been hit by the car, too many sensors for that, but where was he? Jason decided to make a call.
“Hey, O? Could you check the cameras where the Batmobile was just parked?”
“What a surprise Jay, what am I looking for?” Babs joked lightly, Jason could hear her typing though.
“A kid, adoption bait, gave him a bet to put a sticker on the Batmobile to piss off B. He never came back out and the Batmobile just left. He isn't in the alley.”
“I see him enter, but the cameras in the alley are spotty. It looks like he may have gone under the car, but the static gets bad after that. It clears up a bit after the Batmobile leaves. I don't see anyone leaving from the other side, though.” Barbara hummed.
“Wait, did the little punk try to put the sticker on the bottom of the car? Cheeky shit. B wouldn't have seen that for weeks, he just did a tune up.” Jason chuckled. “Kid probably got a zap from the anti-tamper B put on after that prank a few years back. But where did he go after that?”
“I don't know Jason, the only other way out could be the storm drain, he is small enough for it.”
“Little guy is probably mad at me if he did get zapped, he will come back for the money though.” Jason paused. “Keep an eye out though, he is fresh meat here and is still learning the ropes.”
“Of course Jay, does he have a name? Age?”
“Danny, though he is gaining the nickname 'Scrappy' for his tinkering and rabid fighting style. I think he is about 14 years old, but he is tiny. Some 10 year olds here are taller than him. He is almost like a mini-me, so keep him from the fam as much as you can.” Jason let his worry bleed into his voice, knowing Babs would keep it to herself.
“Understood, I will give you a call if I see him. Let me know if you find him first?” Barbara asked softly.
“ ‘Course, O.” Jason hung up and looked down the alley again, hoping the kid would pop up demanding the money, and hopefully more if he did get zapped. But silence was all he got.
Next
I got a pretty good timeline and bullet points plotted out. Granted, one just says, "2ish days' worth of Shenanigans".....

You're mine now, old man.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#a-qing#xiao xingchen#A-qing's story kicks off so strong. You really get a sense that she feels strongly attached to xxc during the pre-empathy scenes#and that she has a strong sense of loyalty and perseverance with strong survival instinct#but then you see her before all the tragedy and you *immediately* learn she is a clever trickster!#She follows xxc not out of gratitude but out of a sense that this guy is her meal ticket.#xxc is kind and strong but most importantly *noble*#she can smell the self-sacrificing bright eyed hope on this stranger. She knows the mere fact she's a young blind girl means#he will protect her. The fact he gives her a little money doesn't hurt her justification but tbh she would have followed all the same#a-qing is *the* catgirl of all time actually. Follows you for the fact you provide food and shelter. Opportunistic. May grow to be loyal.#That's not even getting into the parallels here between these two characters and wwx (who is seeing these events play out)#the yi city trio are arguably the three split aspects of wwx: who he feels like (a-qing the opportunist) who he wants to be (xxc the noble)#and who he feels seen as (xy the vengeful).#one day I'll write a more robust analysis on that. prob in the tags though#(His a-qing parallels are also tied with the fact they both were street rat orphans who learned how to code-switch to be whoever#they need to be to feel safe. I have a lot more thoughts to share but augh another time...another time)

E. Gadd has an unfortunate habit of treating near-death experiences like cool skateboard tricks, like... I'm glad you thought my method of not getting torn to shreds by a malicious, powerful ghost was entertaining professor, but next time could you at least not eat popcorn while it happens?
#however#he's lightheartedly unconcerned about his own survival too if the gooigi research journals are anything to go by#so at least it isn't a one-way street#he's just kinda... like that#Luigi's Mansion 2

it is funny though how kids' shows are so so so careful about death, no one's ever killed except MAYYYYBE the big bad, all those random side characters are fine, here have a quick shot of them before we leave just so you know they really did survive that 50-foot drop into a stormy sea,
and meanwhile kids' books nearly all agree that it's not an adventure until it has a body count.
#to be clear I don't mean the heroes killing people#that's frankly a separate question#but bad guys come with collateral damage#even if they're nameless extras who are never described as more than a body in the street#and quite often the friends the hero meets along the way#will not all make it to the end#edit: actually I do also mean the heroes killing people#atla being so so so careful to show random mooks surviving and having the fire nation take prisoners all the time#vs animorphs going 'yeah we kill people. yeah we've got ptsd. what of it'#vs that one vivian vande velde book I read where the protagonist is really really stressed#about creeping up on a mook with a rock to bash him on the head#bc *what if she kills him?* she's just a teenager she doesn't know how brain trauma works she doesn't want to be a murderer#to be clear animorphs and this book are on the same page

Haunted Car Au part 13
Previous. Masterpost
“You done figuring out the sound files yet?” Duke asked while tapping on the hood of the Batmobile.
He was excited to hear a campy “Yes, Sir!” Come out of the open windows of the car.
“Neat, first off, any files that have your name in it?” He was a little disappointed, but still snorted to hear the tragic ‘Noooooo’ from Darth Vader.
“I think Red Robin has some pronoun type files in there, what are yours?” A mix of sir’s, dude's, and bro's were played until Duke had to stop the guy.
“Ok, what about age?” He wasn't expecting to get a straight answer, but when the car played a Scooby-Doo cut of ‘those meddling kids’, he was confused.
“So a kid?” Duke questioned. He got a weird mix of 'Ehhh', 'Kinda', and 'close enough' type files.
“We can worry about that later, any ideas how you got stuck?” A short ‘Nope’ with a pop on the P played.
Talking to the car guy was strange. Getting answers could be easy or turn into 20 questions trying to clarify an answer. So far, Duke knew the person:
is male or male presenting
a meta
has no clue how he possessed the car
has a good understanding of current memes
was possibly in their teens (probably a bit younger than Duke, but older than Daimian)
was a street kid? (When asked where he lived the car played “Why should I worry” from an older Disney movie about homeless animals in New York or something. He had to look it up.)
has a good sense of humor
and is taking their situation in stride.
Duke really had to wonder what their life has been where this is not a vast problem to fix…. And whether or not he should argue his ‘notification tone’ being a choir singing.
He really does not get paid enough for this, but it is better than the other stuff Gotham throws at the Bats.
“Mind if I get you up on the lift and check the engine? Might give us some clues.” After an affirmative from the car guy, Duke got to work.

#dp x dc#dc x dp#dpxdc#haunted car au#not totally happy with how this one turned out#but dialog is kinda wierd when one side is memes and audio clips.#but hey its is getting closer to the fun bits#but slow plot lines for now#next chapter amuses me though#also please remember I am using more the Batman Wayne adventures mixed with cherry picking of other comic runs#so.... come characters might be a bit ooc#that being said#next chapeter has plenty of cursing and simular language#but yaknow... Jason and Duke in the same room#I like to think they default to street manners and not Alfred approved ones#Duke Steph and Jason together just desolves into slang and neighborhood rivalry#not always friendly either#thats my headcannon anyway#Oliver and Company was one of my sisters favorite movies#100% Dick cries throughout the entire movie#Jason and Duke mock/rate the survivability of the animals#Damian took home any stray that he could catch after watching it#Cass helped

Everytime you draw machete and Vasco as ferals I can't help but imagine them as Italian street dogs that are beloved by the locals and are like celebrities like that one cat in Poland
.
#that's cute but also makes me a little sad#stray animals usually do#if they're street dogs and a regular sight in the neighborhood they should have some kind of#snazzy nicknames given by the locals#answered#anonymous#are there a lot of stray dogs in Italy? I've never thought of it#I think Finland has essentially none#they can't survive the winter

Here you go!!
Silver in a pretty dress, that ISN'T her usual one!
Some of you may already know this, but I LOVE drawing frilly and poofy dresses! ESPECIALLY when they're moving!!!
I love the ways the folds rearrange themselves!!!
This first dress wasn't really inspired by some barbie doll dress, just a random redesign I guess??
I feel like the lineart isn't that visible though, but I'm too lazy to fix it lol
Aight, up next is a request!!
This dress was requested by @tea-132 and I thank them!!!
It's REALLY pretty and I would've missed out on it otherwise aqnd it was extremely fun to draw so thanks a lot :DD
here it is!!
And yes, before you ask, she will come in more poses I just need to figure them out and nothing seemed more fitting for this dress than the 'joyful-walk-with-a-new-skirt' pose!!
I will say that I totally put no effort into the design on the outer lace and ibis Paint was a giant help with the stars (I love you ibis, marry me <333)
I'm happy with how it turned out and be prepared to expect more dresses soon
I will draw them until y'all are drowning in them
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
#cinderella boy#cinderella boy webtoon#silver#pretty dresses#I love pretty dresses smm#I love it when they twirl really majestically too!#I you haven't I really recommend putting one on right now and waltzing down the street#fuck it#sing your heart out while you do#Where did the dress come from?#Chase: He Prunella do you still have that barbie land magic princess playset? It's for...a project I'm doing over the summer#Prunella just gives him the deadest of deadpan stares 💀#She's DEFINETLY judging him for that one lol#How would Silver an Prunella interact??#Maybe Prunella could teach Silver some valuable survival skills#Silvers boutta go through her tough-guy survival arc lmaoo
