#the kids are all wrong: ooc

[necrotic-nephilim]

If you want to be bothered. Maybe this for dick and Bruce???

i ALWAYS want to be bothered these are always the highlight of my day tbh you're a delight for letting me just yap <3

Dick. For the canon isn't real square I am Specifically talking about the Tom Taylor Nightwing run. Usually I ignore bad runs but given this one is ongoing (though about to end THANK GOD and get replaced by Dan Watters who i have high hopes for since i adored his Sword of Azrael (2022) run but i digress) so I counted it. Especially since it's so debated if that run is bad or not, for some reason. I'm a 90s Nightwing truther. I love Dick so dearly and tbh recently I've been more enamored with him the more I read his Discowing era, I didn't used to be as big of a Dick stan as I am these days.

Bruce. Honestly where do you even start with Bruce. I want to fist fight him and also patch him up. He got me into comics and superheroes as a whole but I roll my eyes whenever he shows up in a story. He's a bastard and usually not a good father but also complex and should be dissected under a magnifying glass. I love him dearly. He's also just the worst. I think that's why I love him. I'm always a fan of unabashedly Complicated Asshole Bruce who's generally not always the best person, particularly not to the Batfamily and that being the driving force of his relationships with them, especially in shipping.

And for bonus points, Tim. Because know above all else, I'm a Tim Drake kinnie /deg. He's been my number one for a decade and I've yet to uproot him from my brain. He's literally the Worst half the time and I love him for it. And the canon isn't real refers to Tim Drake: Robin because... that sure was a comic. And that's about all I can say about it. Pre-Flashpoint Tim I miss you so dearly. I think it's fun that I want to put him in a blender and drink the juice but also want Nothing Ever to happen to him.

Sonic Forces and Sonic IDW AU - What if Tails met Dr. Starline earlier? (WIP)

The City, Scholar Square

Approximately 2 months, 3 days, and 12 hours since Dr. Eggman's victory over Sonic the Hedgehog

The first person Dr. Starline encountered in the City was a small fox kit.

Past the metal soldiers marching down the street, he glimpsed orange fur ducking behind trash cans and weaving in and out of alleyways. Before sprinting to a new hiding spot, the child shot a cursory glance at the squadron. Cautious, but not hesitant. Never hesitant, as though this dozen count of E-Series badniks were nothing more than simple-minded animals.

Dr. Starline was both irritated and… intrigued by the child’s naivety.

Perhaps he didn’t understand what he was evading. Ever since the inevitable victory over Sonic the Hedgehog, the City—and the planet, really—had been plunged into a delicious chaos. Despite the way Dr. Starline’s heart pounded, finally being at the epicenter of the Dr. Eggman’s highly-anticipated triumph, he could recognize the disorientation of someone so young.

Still, ignorance would be disastrous in the long run. He considered alerting the badniks and turning this into a learning opportunity. After all, he benefited from learning opportunities himself once upon a time.

Or, perhaps he did know what he was evading. Two months into a war, and even the youngest child couldn't be that ignorant. But if that was the case—why? Why would someone willingly put themselves in danger, knowing they don't stand a chance against such a force? Stupidity? Reckless abandon? Could this be a suicide mission?

The child disappeared before he could make a decision. Dr. Starline watched from the shadows of a parallel alleyway, squinting through robotic crevices to locate that orange fur. The squadron marched on, plunging the street into a dead zone once more.

A trash can sat adjacent to him, miraculously still standing after two months of raids. Once the last E-Series passed from view, a small blur darted from its hiding spot and toward the library. Frowning, Dr. Starline peered around the edge of the building, shamelessly curious about the kit’s destination.

He appeared to be running for another badnik, this one hunched over in defeat. Dr. Starline’s eyes narrowed. Black and red body. Gold bands at the wrists and a “helmet” to match. For a moment, he entertained the idea that he was staring at E-102 Gamma. But, no. That couldn’t be. Dr. Eggman scrapped E-102 years ago. Plus, this model was shorter, more broad shouldered. The fox kit, who’d knelt in front of the robot as soon as he reached it, moved to inspect the clear encasing on the badnik’s front, revealing a red insignia on its shoulder.

Omega.

Air caught in his throat.

His jaw dropped open.

Chaos, this child managed to find E-123 Omega? The last model of the E-100 Series? The most powerful of the E-100 Series? In all of the books Dr. Starline had read, none so much as hinted to the idea that Omega was still functional. Shortly after he was ordered to protect the capsule of the Ultimate Lifeform, Omega’s signal was lost and never found again. Dr. Eggman didn’t dwell, only moved on to bigger and better projects.

Was it possible Dr. Eggman found his lost champion and refurbished him for this invasion? Of course. Save the best for the war, not the battles.

The kit turned toward a toolbox lying against the library’s stone staircase. In one hand, he was holding something these miscreants must've passed off for food. With his other, he sifted through the box until he found a screwdriver and turned back to the robot.

Surely this child didn’t think… he could fix an E-Series? Attempting any would be a feat, even for Dr. Starline without glancing at the schematics first, but E-123 Omega, specifically? The corner of his mouth lifted. He couldn’t help but laugh.

He’d love to know how this child thought he was going to pull that off. Making sure the coast was clear, Starline decided to investigate.

“Hmm, that should have done it,” the child was saying as he approached. He scratched his head, frowning at the robot. “Man, I’ve been out here all morning. Sorry I’m not smart enough to figure it out for you, buddy.”

Dr. Starline glanced over the badnik, sorting through the files of information in his head. “Perhaps he’s in recovery mode,” he suggested. The fox startled, but he ignored him in favor of stepping closer to investigate. 

“Uh… What?”

“I recall the Gamma series possessing the ability to repair themselves after battle.”

Dr. Starline pressed his face against the chest window and attempted to commit the badnik’s innerworkings to memory. From there, his gaze trailed the robot slowly, considering every curve, every cut, every modification he could recall from the previous E-Series badniks. He wouldn’t forget this moment for a very long time; standing toe-to-toe with Dr. Eggman’s greatest soldier. If the child weren’t there, he may have pinched himself.

“That would make sense,” the kit said after a moment, turning back to the robot. “If not for self-repairing robots, he would really spend all of his time building new ones.” He laughed.

Dr. Starline glanced over, lifting an eyebrow. He almost asked what was so funny when he noticed the fox’s tails waving behind him.

Tails.

Plural.

... Of course.

“Where are your parents?”

Tails—an old nickname Dr. Starline remembered reading years ago that finally made sense—looked sideways at him. “Not here.”

“All alone, then?”

The kit bristled. “My friends know where I am.”

“Of course,” Dr. Starline said patiently. “Do they usually allow toddlers to roam free like this?”

Tails snorted. “How old do you think I am?”

Before he could attempt an answer, a laser shot past them. It bounced off Omega’s chestplate and ricocheted somewhere behind Tails. Another narrowly missed the hair on Dr. Starline’s head. Looking over his shoulder, his heart leapt at the sight of a dozen more E-Series bots marching toward them.

“Come on!” Tails cried, grabbing the doctor’s hand.

[stcries]

the struggle of looking for new fanart of one of your favourite characters, cough doey cough, and then seeing so much sexualised art on twitter and boom, your day is ruined.

[kittycatred]

Hmm... WAIT, RED-

You're able to talk to some of the others on this device, yes? Like Green and Blue? What if you texted them and asked one to go through the portal and find the coordinates of said portal?? Then you could use a compass to find your way back!

(ooc: I'm sure they're VERY available rn-)

hmm well.... that's an...idea...

however, knowing my friends...

if i were to text green right now he'll probably would just say "well MAYBE you should have listened to me !!" or something like that

...which, okay !! fair enough !! but i dont wanna hear that right now !! ugh....

and blue ?? they just got back from minecraft, i highly doubt they'd go back for a rescue mission for me right now, besides....last i heard before they left they had a headache, so the trip probably took too much of a toll on them to come help me anyways...

besides, even if they could....i dont wanna leave without ruben...

we've been through too much, he's always been there and helped save me, so now i have to help save him

[halffootguildofficial]

I heard you referring to kids, do you have children? What’re they up to?

"Ah. Kids. Yeah. I have them. Three of them, actually, but they're all grown up now. There's not much to say about them."

"My oldest by a day is Meijack, and she's most like me. Currently she works doing odd jobs on the first and second floor. She's the one who visits her old man the most. She's dedicated and reliable with a good head on her shoulders, I think. She takes it all as seriously as I do, which is a good thing. She knows exactly what she's getting into."

"My Flertom's young, but she's talented, personable. She found a party that's doing her right and she's been sticking with it for the past two years. Last she told me, they've managed to get to the fourth floor and are looking to get to the fifth this next dungeon run. She's just like her mother."

"And Puckpatti... She's... Well. If you meet her, you'll realise how special she is. She managed to find a group of gnomes who wanted to do a research project on basilisks on the second floor. Apparently they're trying to learn more about their natural behaviour without human interference, their territories, their hunting patterns... the works. She's supposed to trap them, they apply some magic tracking spell, and then they release them and use the spell to collect data on them. If they're lucky, apparently they can start making basilisk venom antidotes using some of the poison they can collect from them."

"It all flies over my head, of course, but she seemed real excited about it when she was telling me about it. If they're successful, her name gets put on some research paper. Weirdest contract Dandan's ever had to negotiate, he told me. Problem is, it's a long term project. She's supposed to be down there for two months. My other two have been doing this for a few years now, but Puck... this is her first expedition, and she's my youngest.. It's only natural that I worry about her."

roleplay idea: barton's trying to say this BS that he's 'good at processing grief' when your muse was a witness to the absolute rage-filled and deranged rampage that barton went on after julien was killed by the joker in which he brutally hurt all but one of his henchmen (he killed the last one because he told him he was 'crazy' and that he 'better kill him, or he was going to tell his boss that barton had been there' and he literally just snapped, went 'you know what, i think i will kill you AND also let the joker know i killed you so he knows to never come near my family again' then killed him. like HUHHH?) at the time with your muse being like this

[lady-shadow-and-darkness-da]

Whenever I see people saying that Dazai's an asshole and doesn't care about anyone I laugh. Guess he did a good job of fooling you buddy.

[tragedia]

i won't lie, part of the reason i keep replaying this game is just stuff like this or this.

[eatend]

⸻ maybe I should keep dropping hot takes , maybe i can get perma blocked by Laios wanters. In all seriousness though ! I do have a lot of disagreement with fanon collective hc ╱ view on him.

⇢ laios likes women, laios likes women, laios likes women ⇢ laios has a weird crush on marcille ! ⇢ laios has no trauma that made him dislike humanity, he just is ⇢ laios parents aren't even that bad they were just regular ass parents that needed laios to be normal for ONE second ( dead ass his nightmare is getting a proper job and getting a proper family. ) ⇢ laios was wrong for that toushiro name incident ⇢ his autism / mental illness is not an excuse for his offensive and awful treatment of people's boundaries ⇢ his family were pretty well off, laios is a privilege white man ⇢ he was a shit brother and a terrible friend.

[stormcried]

Good morning babes!! I’m finally awake and I’ll be finishing my drafts in a bit, but I REALLY wanted to knock out some HC’s for drakes main verses that I reallly feel the need to throw down because I really wanted to get across WHY Drake is such an asshole / rude to other people in his Misfits verse because there’s literally a reason why he as an 12 nearly 13 year old is out here disrespecting people and all around has this ‘leave me the fuck alone’ attitude.

[revvnant]

i sit and stew on a post so potent about the victim blaming that goes on in wider fandom headcanons about these characters that goes unnoticed because it's never overt or even intentional and i eat my hands because it's the jumpscare games for kids with their parents' credit cards.

[talentforlying]

coming up with OCs: fun! whimsical! best time of my life! having to actually write the screenplay for the movie of their life that's been playing in my head this whole time:

[mad-hunts]

so... i've been thinking about auriel again because i actually did have an account for her once upon a time (just on another platform) + all i can remember is doing this roleplay on there with barton immediately asking the person whom told him they saw her was whether she was okay because she had went missing with no trace for years after all. and additionally, this was also while shedding tears like there was NO tomorrow, which is 😭 like he isn't a good person, y'all, but he does have his moments where it actually seems like he genuinely cares about people

[austerulous]

Okay, so I had been alternating between the beta and legacy editors, but now I think I’m ready to commit to the bit with the former.

[millenniumdueled]

sorry I haven't been more active on my muses lately my brain is just. not. working.

[spxnglr]

Rewatched Aft.erlife today for the first time since I saw it in the cinema and tbh, my perspective of it has changed a fair bit...but I'm still not making it canon for my Egon.
