Diana loves Bruce and Clark because they remind her so much of the warriors she grew up with. The training, the strategy, the camaraderie…yes they’re their own heroes, but they share so much in the Big Three.

Politics hc for dc x pjo crossover
so this is more hc for the prompt I posted here
Themiscira
Themiscira’s Amazons can see through the Mist and they fight their share of monsters
Hylla’s Amazons are like another version of the Amazons powered by the myth like the Roman versions is different from the Greek gods
They keep mostly separate because of Fate bullshit—the Amazons aren’t demigods so they can’t choose not to follow the magic rules
(Even Diana, she’s animated magic clay, and Donna is her childhood-playmate-magic-clone, so not ‘halfbloods’)
Why Cassie Sandsmark didn’t go to CHB:
Now Cassie is an actual demigoddess.
But she became Wonder Girl right after getting her powers, before even knowing she was Zeus’ daughter
so the gods pretty much pretend she’s just a part of Themiscira’s sphere, Cassie herself doesn’t know of the Camps and the other demigods, because:
1) she’s in the spotlight as a member of the hero community, so she risks attracting the JL’s attention on the Camps (like a few magicians vaguely know of them but that’s all), and if they learn of it the heavy hitters of the JL can and will confront the Pantheon about it (the JL got too thoroughly Bat-magic-proofed to be fooled by a quick Mist trick)
2) Cassie’s existence is an infraction to the Oath of the Big Three, so it’s more convenient to pretend as if she doesn’t exist, to keep peace (while banking on heroing statistics so that she dies before accomplishing the Great Prophecy)
next part: Grayson kid at Camp Half Blood

A DC au where things make more sense to me
Bruce Wayne was only 8 years old when a common thug killed his mother and father. He was too young to understand why they wouldn't just wake up, the little dress pants that he wore to the theatre now damp with blood as he pushed, poked, and prodded his parents' heavy bodies. His voice grows more and more worried as time passes, for he can see the color draining from their skin ever so slowly, revealing veins that have begun to transition from blue to purple. His soft whine becoming a full screaming sob.
It's only after roughly half an hour of continuous wailing that lights appear in the surrounding houses and apartments. Disgruntled residents telling him to shut up, and more empathetic people checking on him from their windows. It was only one man that came out to see the horrors the boy had witnessed. Not too soon after, Gotham Police Department arrives with a young junior detective and his senior partner.
A grizzled Harvey Bullock, with sunken eyes from years of sleep deprivation and a rasp in his voice from the combination of chain smoking and hard liquor, orders James Gordon to quell the cries of the boy. Jim looks uneasy with his orders. He's never been good with kids, but he watches intently as the boy heaves deep breaths and chokes on the spit and snot pouring from his face.
A gentle hand touches the young Wayne's shoulder, clasping it as if to offer reassurance.
"My name is Jim. Can you tell me your name?" Jim is careful not to mess up the scene as he gingerly crouches behind the boy.
"B-b-br-bruce." The boy stutters, trying to collect himself. A Wayne must be strong. That's what dad always said.
"Bruce? I'm sorry we had to meet like this," says Jim as he tries to ask empathetically, "Bruce, do you think we can talk more? I have friends that can watch them for you. Why don't you take a break?"
The boy then looks behind him to find the gap-toothed sympathetic smile of a lightskin black man with freckles and ginger hair under the soft yellowed glow of street lamps. And in the night air are the screeches of bats as they hunt for insects...
. . .
10-year-old Clark Kent awoke from his sleep in a sweat. He could have sworn he had heard the sound of a gunshot as if were right beside him. His ears were ringing. He stumbled out of the motel bed, shambled to the bathroom, and promptly lost his dinner.
As he was cleaning up the sink which he vomited into, he went to twist the knob to rinse it out. It must have gotten looser since they were using it earlier. Before it stuck a little and, while not hard to turn, did require a little more effort.
As Clark removes his hand from the knob, he sees why it was so much easier to turn. He looks intently at the cracks in the plastic knob and when he went to tap it, it crumbled into hard, clear shards.
Clark laid back down thinking he must be in some fever-induced dream, but he had a hard time going back to bed. Not only did he feel as if he was moving faster than his mind was moving as he walked back to the bed, but as he laid there with eyes shut tight, it was as if he could see through his own eyelids.
Clark continued to lay down, now just staring through his eyelids at the ceiling above him. He decided to quiet his mind by thinking of home. He couldn't wait to get back home. He missed the farm. He missed the trees. He even missed his chores. He was ready to harvest the corn they had grown for the summer and play with the cows in the barn. He didn't like the thick air of Metropolis; it smelled of car exhaust and sewage. Though he honestly couldn't tell if that was the fault of Metropolis or the city of Gotham across the Delaware Bay. But the constant noise of cars and yelling, protests against STAR labs and sirens zooming down the streets, that was definitely Metropolis. The flash of cameras blinding him whenever Mama and Pop took him to look at the city. Eager journalists and paparazzi alike looking to get the scoop on anything and everything. Where there should be tall trees and bustling forests, there were instead skyscrapers and just behemoth concrete and metal structures. No, he wanted no part of it, he just wanted to be back on the Kent farm in Gallatin.
Eventually, Clark dozes off thinking about home and his friends there. He dreams of his best friend Alex and the lab in his garage. He dreams of his dad landing his STAR labs contract so they can go back home and start working again. He dreams of home but is seeing a man and a woman and can’t make out their faces, but their bodies don’t resemble Mama and Pop… It's while he dreams these things that his body begins to hover a little over a foot in the air.
A true sight for his mother and father to see when they go to wake him up for a city tour at 9am. Perhaps it's time to have the talk with Clark...
...
"ARES! GIVE ME YOUR COURAGE! ATHENA! YOUR WISDOM! KRATOS! BLESS ME WITH STRENGTH! HERMES! LET ME POSSESS YOUR SPEED! ZEUS! FUCK YOU!" A mighty high-pitched battle cry from young warrior Diana of Themiscyra. "YOUR LIGHTNING MAY HAVE LIT THE FIRES OF MY KILN BUT YOU HOLD NO POWER OVER ME!"
"Watch your words, Diana. We revere the gods. They allow us to live and bless us with what we need to live." Queen Hippolyta scolds her daughter. "Zeus heard my cries to mother a child and gave me you. I thank him daily."
"My queen, I respect you and the other gods. But I do not recognize Zeus as the King of Gods as that would make him my king. And I serve no man."
Her mother can do nothing but chuckle as lightning crackles across the sky. My daughter molded of clay and born by lightning. I think he sees your power and knows the threat you pose to him. I will protect you from him. Train you to be the best Amazon to have walked the Earth.
"Are you done praying child?" Hippolyta dawns her helmet and grabs her spear; shifting her feet to prepare for what comes next. Her stance is strong, she looks nigh unmovable. A necessary skill against her current opponent.
"Not yet, mater." Diana grins at her mother slyly. Without breaking eye contact, Diana retrieves her shield from the boulder she lodged it in during the last spar and unsheathed the sword on her belt. "ASCLEPIUS! KEEP MY MOTHER HEALTHY! PAEON! PATCH UP WHAT YOU MUST AFTER!" I will dethrone Zeus and protect those I love from tyrants like him.
Lightning strikes the fighting pit, leaving glass shards scattered across the arena. Fuck you Zeus, Hippolyta says in her mind and the spar continues...

implementing lore in RPs without telling skull. Anyway, there were actually lots of those meteors that hit Vandal Savage (50k bce) flying around in prehistory. A couple hit closer to modern day greece and made a whole bunch of people in this one tribe immortal. For a while they kept making immortal babies in relative pre-history peace, until one day, (~10k bce?) massive infighting broke out: whether this was because the men wanted women weakened through trickery or whether women rose up and escaped will depend on who you're asking/what continuity you're reading, but the immortal and semi-immortal women fled to an island in the mediterranean, where they used their magic cultivated from thousands of years of continuous knowledge, and raised a barrier separating themselves and the rest of the world, and forbid any man ever set foot on it. They called this island Paradise, or Themiscyra.

the general roller coaster of my thoughts today after the 'Paradise Lost: Wonder Woman' project announcement:
me: "I'm terrified, this could go REALLY well or REALLY badly. Paradise Lost is fantastic but it's an insanely difficult story to pull off because it relies so heavily on prior events and a fuckton of pre-established lore...and frankly it should never be a story you go to as the first Wonderfam story in a new universe."
them: "oh it's not a Paradise Lost adaptation, it's a pre-Diana Amazon history/lore story focused on political intrigue on Themiscyra. Also James Gunn specifically tweeted that he liked Wonder Woman Historia."
me: "I WON! EVERYTHING IS GREAT AND SUNSHINE AND ROSES!"
them: "ok but they announced it with that one New 52 panel depicting evil Donna Troy leading the (rapist) Amazons as they kill a bunch of men and called it a 'Game of Thrones-type story'"
me: *head in hands* "and I'm back to being terrified"

low effort jokes about DC hqs
"Fortress of Solitude" but everyone knows about it and Supes keeps bringing people there
Batcave – aren't all caves bat caves? (case in point)
Themiscyra = "them is scary" and they (Amazons) is
Titans Tower def has a Mandel effect about it a la the Statue of Liberty thing
The US government (and probably others) definitely has weapons aimed at the Watchtower and the only thing keeping them from firing is the fear of the debris falling back to Earth
"Arrow Cave" is funny, "Quiver" is cool, and Ollie is too lame to have come up with either of those on his own (ily Ollie, im just spitting facts)

DCU Television
“Creature Commandos”
Tumblr media
Writer: James Gunn
In Production 
Release Date: TBD but prior to Superman: Legacy
Creature Commandos teams up Frankenstein, a werewolf, a vampire and a gorgon to fight Nazis in World War II. Gunn’s version adds Weasel and Rick Flag Sr. to the team
The actors cast to voice the characters on the show will also play the roles in live action later on in the DCU.
“Waller”
Tumblr media
Writer: Christal Henry (Watchmen)
Executive Producer: Jeremy Carver (Doom Patrol & Umbrella Academy)
Release Date: TBD but prior to Superman: Legacy
Season 2 of “Peacemaker” has been put on hold. Team ‘Peacemaker' will  instead appear alongside Viola Davis in Waller; which is a continuation of Peacemaker. 
“Lanterns”
Tumblr media
Per Safran, “Lanterns will focus on two of the best known members of the Green Lantern corps.: Hal Jordan and John Stewart; who investigate a mystery that plays a really big role leading us into the main story that we’re telling across our film and television.”
The Greg Berlanti Green Lantern show for HBO Max, is no longer moving forward.
“Paradise Lost”
Tumblr media
This story was compared to Game of Thrones and is set on the island of Themyscira before the birth of Diana (Wonder Woman).
“It’s really about the political intrigue behind a society of all women,” Safran said.
Added Gunn, “How did that come about? What’s the origin of an island of all women? What are the beautiful truths and the ugly truths behind all of that? And what’s the scheming like between the different power players in that society?”
“Booster Gold”
Tumblr media
“Booster Gold,” allows the DCU to fully stretch into outright comedy. A fan favorite among devoted readers. Safran called Booster “a loser from the future who uses basic future technology to come back to today and pretend to be a superhero.”

What was the deal with Themiscyra? They were the biggest pack weren't they? Heard it was constantly drama filled and that a upper staff was the owner of it.
LMAO i ran Dioscuri, Alula made tht shit after joining our allo pack, copy pasted our rules, knew where we liked to keep territory, made their territory RIGHT next to it, accused us of targetting them, let his entire server talk major shit about the dioscuri players until he was forced to stop. They were shitty and kept bringing their allos back to life despite constantly dying to stay alpha. still cant get over them trying to force us to not use an ingame screenshot cause mono got killed in it LLL. I believe it was 13+ so prob having all the younger players in it led to all that. They went LOOKING for fights with other packs outside of game
