Bruce with fae!Dick is just: I have no idea what this kid is or what is happening, but this child is mine now :)
I like to think he never asks what Dick is, he just don't want to know for the sake of his mental health
Ngl that was my first thought too ksksks
On one hand weāve got Bruce the worldās greatest detective but on the other handā¦ well, Bruce can only handle so much weirdness in one day and his new child is basically the embodiment of Weirdā¢ļø šš
Dick is just happily swinging from the chandelier and having animated conversations with a bird about the weather and meanwhile Bruce is just standing off to the side like :)))) my child isnāt like other children :)))))
Everyone else: awe, yes, everybody thinks that about their own kid.
Bruce, who just saw Dick rotate his head 360Ā° to keep track of a firefly only to then eat it and because it allegedly insulted him: yes :))))))

And if I said Finn and Lasko should be twins would yāall jump me.
If I proposed we called it the Dewdrop Twins Au (because water and dewdrop flowers) would yāall see the vision or nah
#I named the au before I remembered Lasko was an air elemental but Iām not changing it š#But do we see the vision. please dear god someone say yes.#itās giving brothers who are very distant now due to bad home lives when they did live together but still visit and check in once a year#the main thing they both got was shitty eye sight and round circular glasses from birth š#also the magic stuff??? Finn being the one who was always really into magic but Lasko being the one to actually have and harness it#and he canāt tell Finn?? imagine yāall please.#Iām writing this on ao3 BYE#yuurivoice finn#Finneas yuurivoice#finn yuurivoice#lasko moore#redacted lasko#redacted asmr#yuurivoice#redacted asmr Lasko#redacted audios#dewdrop twins au

#WODtober day 31 - Redemption
idk how much does it fit today's theme but I thought of Veronica's Sire. Back in 1920s (he went by name William Moore back then) he used to work as sheriff's hound and had not very high level of humanity (which went even lower after he murdered the whole mobster gang, that were holding Veronica). But over the time, and time spent with Veronica he regained his humanity back - Veronica is very humane and it usually is transmitted to people close to her. Even tho Veronica's embrace was very spontanious, judged by other toreodors, and honestly William would never pick her as his apprentice for the type of work he was doing - in the end it gave him personal growth he wasn't expecting and didn't know he needed
after 1990s William quit his hound job, Veronica visited him back then and tought him how to use computer and internet (THE FUTURE IS IN THESE TECHNOLOGIES!). It's was hard for 250+ years old vampire to get into it but he managed and it defenetely came in handy
Nowdays they go by name Kellen and decided to come out as nonbinary. They have their own lawyer office, help people, and as former hound sometimes give advice to vampires as well (related to keeping/saving the masquarade etc). Kellen values human life much more than 100 years ago and overal feel more comfortable in their own skin, good for them <3
#wodtober#vtm#vampire the masquerade#toreodor#vampire#vampires#I LOVE THEM SO I WAS HAPPY TO DRAW THEM MORE HAHA#im also glad that they got their own pros from making veronica a vampire#like..... being lovedš„ŗā¤ļø#Veronica Sugar#Moore#William Moore#Kellen Moore#my art#my oc#my ocs

Ok dude to a recent post of yours is have to know what other plants are sluts?
Rhododendron is the QUEEN of sluts. It will not STOP. Uprooting this fast-growing monstrosity is dick and half a ball because it has strong roots and woody stems; UK conservationists hate this stuff.
The most monstrous slut, Colonel War Crimes of the slut kingdom, is Giant Hogweed. Not ONLY is it voracious, not only is it huge, but this plant is NOXIOUS. You have to sequester it off when you see it and eradicate it in PPE. Actively dangerous just to stand around.
Other sluts are sitka spruces, mile-a-minuteweed, japanese honeysuckle, skunk cabbage... very aggressive invaders. The UK is under seige with invasive species since the island is REALLY unique in its soil chemistry. Once you deacidify it, you have a hard time fixing that.
#Funfact! Earthworms are invasive to America and they came from Europe/UK#American forests did not evolve for earthworms to break down leaf litter the way they do#The UK did#Im noticing that in the uk there's a theme of having large and small animals (humans worms hogs)--#That churn the soil in some way and the ecosystem really being built around that#So when you get a new plant that fucks with that cycle it causes brand new problems#Especially pioneer plants that would ANYWHERE ELSE help fix an environment#But moor and bog is *supposed* to be like this#Cw vulgar language#Bone babble

Sheās on my mind again and everyoneās gonna hear about it
#tmbs#tmbs oc#the mysterious benedict society#oc: ab moore#milligan wetherall#kate wetherall#her tactical haircut is so amusing to me#because itās a big character moment for her yknow representative of finally letting go of her mother#but also the haircut is awful#itās insanely uneven because of the angle at which she cut it and her hair being braided#and using Kateās knife of all things#and her hair is a tangly mess from all the adventuring#so she spends the rest of tpj with the worlds worst impromptu haircut#itās amazing#Rhonda fixes it up for her when all is said and done#so it all turns out eventually

Oh to build my own practice that is just...a celebration of community and connection. An awe and curiosity for science and nature and love for all the things that make us human
Y'know?
#ghost mumbles#idk how to tag this#im drifting further and further away from organized religion.#sometimes i find my lil spirituality boat back in the helpol harbor#but each trip back...feels like im putting more and more effort into being moored here#i dont feel as connected to helpols...but no matter what i feel comfort and understanding from my secular/atheopagan friends#hm.#pagan naturalism#atheopaganism

will never not be endlessly fascinating how people attach their identities or sense of selves to fictional characters to where when u actually talk about the story people get all in their feelings and shit bruh tighten up
#and ts funny bc ppl overidentify w these characters at the expense of the characters rich backgrounds#a brown muslim vampire who was turned during the inquisition the moor in venice is endlessly more interesting than the generic faceless fano#people have concocted#louis and claudia in new orleans have such a different past despite being blocks from eachother and its all so interesting theyre not just#faceless constructs of āblackā diversity bridgerton hires they come from a specific place and time but ppl dont give af#lestatās french background is essential to who he is in AUs meanwhile yall think brown/black are generic identifiers w no bg that informs#characterization and motives#then the majority of fandumb weirdos are losers who got high on their own supply and genuinely believe an entire 7 episode season means noth#ng#considering pre s1/ongoing s1 theories was that armand was lestat in a brown body this fanbase is sooooo stupid like#everyone is stupid and im dumber for it

"Word of god" canon: there's no good reason for the finger tape. He just thought it looked cool, added to the character "Maybe it makes him a better guitar player?" quoted from Randy himself š¤£
#this fucking nerd omg šš#unmasked ghouls#the band ghost#phantom ghoul#also got a selfie with lucy and told kayla and alyssa that im a fan#ok with kayla i said denim was a fan but still#alyssa's first time being recognized š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ#take it or leave it as canon/headcanon im just sharing what i found out lol#i love how he referred to the character as separate#like i remember chris did that with the dropkick a transphobe tweet#but idk i wasnt sure how they themselves saw it- playing characters vs just being in costume#i guess they are still characters to them even if they maybe dont use the names we gave them#they may know our names for them but based on comments from the motley zoo people it sounds like they dont use them#randy moore

what if what if i made an office au for poppy playtime
like maybe some inspo from time-wood's cosmic office romcom one of my friends said make it a sitcom and i think that'd be extremely funny actually hmmm cause i'm thinking the general story starts after the company goes through some financial troubles, people are laid off, and a few unrelated incidents happen that put the whole place in a shaky state
#already thinking about names and names and names and names#we've got dante de la cruz-- carson newman-- penelope palmer-- kiara w moore-- hayden m walker#there's a lot more but i'll probably workshop a few of them#cause i'm not *super* focused on making them mean more subtly but i want them to be like#if you heard the names you'd think āOh i can see that being a nameā and also think āOh i can see how that would come from thisā#i also wanna take a bit of inspo from the one grand galloping 20s au for mlp#the human designs in that au FUCK SO HARD#hmmm#poppy playtime#poppy playtime au#pyro screams to the abyss

Hello I too am here for fae!dick it's getting me through the workweek
One of the Other things I am VERY intrigued by is Too Many Teeth. It feels a little Uncanny Valley to me. Because you see it, you know it's Wrong, but you're not entirely sure why, and even if you could explain it, who is going to believe you?
Dick has too many teeth? OK well how many teeth SHOULD he have? Maybe there are a lot of people out here knowing how many teeth one should have, but are people cracking open their mouths and letting you count them? Maybe his wisdom teeth came in weird. You don't know.
Anyway I don't know if this is in line with any folklore but Dick stealing people's teeth? Like if he whacks someone in the face and a tooth comes out, does he pick it up, dust it off, and stick it in his gums? You had your chance, it's his tooth now? It's not just Too Many Teeth, it's a collection of teeth.
Hehehe okay, some more lore time!
So line in the sand is: there is no line.
Thereās no rule to the other beings. The fae creatures I grew up with did not follow any logic. They changed a bit with every retelling of the stories and every time you thought you caught a glimpse of them through the stained glass of the kitchen window theyād have some other feature youād never heard of or seen before.
So when I say too many teeth I imagine anything from āteeth that look crammed into a human mouthā to āseveral rows of teeth like a sharkāsā depending on what you expect to see and what the other being feels like looking to others on this fine day.
On this note, it would not be too far fetched to imagine Dick would collect teeth like a giggling magpie, only to adorn himself with them or shove them in his own gums when he feels like it.
You know, being a vigilante has the added benefit of being allowed to knock out criminalsā teeth every other night anyway. āØ
Uncanny valley indeed š
#fae dick grayson#lore time#pagan folklore#faerie#the other things#the ones in the moors#the things with eyes from the water#the horse with sharp teeth#the boy giggling in the reeds#dick grayson#Nightwing#Robin#ghost talks#I love talking about this lore#looking back on it the stories we got told as children were pretty fucked up#but we loved them so much#we went looking for the other beings#batfamily

I don't wanna call it off // But you don't wanna call it love // You only wanna be the one that I call baby!
#my art#artists on tumblr#digital art#i want them to fake date#i imagine it goes like this:#aria wants to go and network at a big fashion event but she has no one to go with. if she showed up alone her reputation would tank#but aria is also such a polarizing unpleasant person that the only other person who can stand to be around her is robin#bc she's unpleasant in the opposite way lol#so aria is like ugh fine i'll ask robin to be my plus one -_- whatever#and robin is like i get to go to a big important event ? wow what a great opportunity to ruin aria's reputation#but then aria sees her all dressed up nice and being touchy (since aria isnt used to affection shes like. this is disgusting š³)#anyways idk how it ends but they dont end it happily lol#my ocs#robin anderson#aria moore#fashion lesbians#i have smth brewing that im gonna drop later >:3c get ready for more tma stuff from me..........

Anyway you know when Eliade said that for religious man religious spaces provide landmarks in the otherwise total homogeny of secular existence? That's what the Bits are in early fieldnotes they're points of reference in an otherwise featureless landscape.
#so much of spn but British is me trying to create a specific Vibe and that Vibe is isolation! it's about not knowing where you are or where#you're from! it's about being faced with absolutely nothing you recognize.#the vibe is meant to be like moorland#you ever walked on a moor? it's all the same it's so easy to get lost#I was on Dartmoor for four hours once and near the end this terror just gripped me#because even when there are other people it's so alone#all that to say. the vibe is meant to be looking at an absolutely undifferentiated landscape and knowing it's your job to differentiate it#this a post from your girlie who has big ambitions for this story and what it says about loneliness and is struggling to meet them#supernatural but british

20 years later, the mercury have not changed lmao
youtube
#phoenix mercury#i can't believe this guy doesn't have any storm merc games uploaded but w/e#it was a good game actually#the wild thing is that dt is like th 4th option for most of this game#and at season's end she was first in points first in stocks first in assists second in rebounds and first in field goals for the team#not everyone can be that person.......#obviously there is a different pace and style of play#also again it is wild that the merc shock and mystics all finished at .500 but the merc missed the playoffs#bc there were more teams in the western conference#that being said it is impressive as hell that they won the title the first time they made the playoffs since 2000#tamara moore is also interesting as a player bc she too is a guard but i feel like at least in this game#she moves so similarly to dt and she's wearing the knee socks and a bun#and they handle the ball similarly you know how dt loves to palm the ball moore does a similar thing#and dt has not changed the way she's moved in 20 years so it's not tough to id her#so penny's not in the game she's at an aus camp but in the july 5 game vs the sparks she and anna deforge are both in#and they are also very similar looking in 240p#plus penny as we know is 13 anna is 30 so they both have the 3#fun fact this is also the first tech of her wnba career#it's not a fun one tho#but you watch these early games and you see why she has to fight with the refs so much#Oh and another thing sometime between 2004 and 2024 the sparks changed the shade of yellow from a vibrant beautiful one#to something very ugly and pale. Pls change back. Yellow is so good when done well but is so easy to do poorly smh#Realizing they were in purple this game but yellow in the 7/5 game. Point still stands#and the old purples are better too league wide

š - odette + nicole
NICOLE found a stray golden lab on her way on to base and scooped him up and brought him in with her. named him cassius. heās the entire squadās dog but she trained him and named him and pays him the most attention so itās really her dog. he really only answers to her anyway.
ODETTE has her army of spiderlings of course but thereās one in particular that hangs out on her shoulder a lotā unnamed as of yet but sheās there and will lift a leg as a wave. odette thinks so, at least.
#oc: nicole moore#oc: odette haliƧi#asks#alex#in my head that spider is names ischia but i canāt just rip that from a real animal name i know abt NENFJSN#also the dog is a motif. a metaphor for nicole being an animal that is largely domesticated but#canāt really take the neurotic prey animal mentality out of the creatureā dog or otherwise

Play for Today: The Cry (BBC, 1984)
"It's best forgotten about."
"You're not gonna be making a complaint?"
"Complaints? We're not making any complaints! We don't want to know about any complaints."
"Complaints against who?"
"Well, the police."
"Who should I complain to about the police?"
"Well, the police, I suppose."
"What good would that do me?"
#play for today#the cry#1984#christopher menaul#derek mahon#adrian dunbar#michael duffy#doreen keogh#breffni mckenna#carol moore#rio fanning#john keegan#michael gormley#peter quigley#oliver maguire#derek lord#birdy sweeney#stella mccusker#denys hawthorne#one of the very final Plays for Today before the series was formally shelved in mid 1984; adapted from a short story by celebrated Irish#writer John Montagueā this is a shortā tightly wound entry among those final plays. it concerns a Northern Irish journalist returning home#and witnessing first hand the casual brutality of the Ulster Special Constabulary (commonly called the B Specials) in the late 1950s#the focus however is not on the act of violence which opens the playā but on the reactions of the local populace: Dunbar's journo decides#to write about the event (pushed by his fatherā a revolutionary who'd rather his son used a gun than a typewriter; the scenes of them#debating political activism could very easily have been laid on too thick but actually they're pitched just right). he's met with fearful#silence at every turnā with nobody willing to speak up and face inevitable reprisals. it's a horribly tense piece; through modern eyes i#kept waiting for some terrible fate to befall Dunbar (ie. his being killed) but actuallyā as the play makes clearā his terrible fate is the#disillusionment he suffers: in the people he once respected who he now views as cowardsā in the system he once felt neutral about but now#detestsā and in his own ideals about using a free press to bring about substantial social change peacefullyā which now appears impossible#Menaul ends the play with news coverage of the violent suppression of protestors a decade later; it's a powerful end to a powerful piece
