Prompt 271

��Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone. 

“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion. 

Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files. 

“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued. 

“Is he coming to the Manor or…” 

Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”

Now wait one moment-

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

never gonna get tired of Aabria and Brennan playing dnd together, they know each other so well, they are so fun, they're clearly having so much fun ''does Evan have a grenade??'' ''idk will you let me? :)'', ''you know what I'm gonna ask'' ''yeah I throw myself in front of Sam, absolutely'', ''I'll give it to you, if you detach your shadow'' ''.....(pause, clearly aware that with Aabria as a dm, this will have Consequences) yeah I do it, I want to get all of them'', ''is my shadow back with us?'' ''no :)'' ''okay. (concerning)''

And that's just this episode, but there's so many little moments in all of their campaigns that really read as ''I will fuck you up <3'' ''I know and I am walking into it with open eyes <3'' from both of them, never hold any punches, because they know the other one doesn't want them to, just. Inflicting emotional damage on each other for funsies is a love language I guess?

It's beautiful

thing that solidified the idea that Asha is the female version of Theon was reading her ADWD chapters and realizing that she wasn’t trying to manipulate Theon into self-destruction and did genuinely want him to leave Winterfell with her and her men in ACOK. girl did not grasp that sexually assaulting her younger brother was going to result in him not being able to trust her ever again, on par with Theon not realizing that betraying Robb and proclaiming himself the prince of Winterfell was going to make everyone hate him.

Do you think if Curly could still speak clearly, would he try to communicate with the crew/Anya/Jimmy? I know it's unlikely he would say something, realistically, he is in too much pain to talk and in no state to think clearly, but still

I actually have a bit of experience with burn pain! I was accidently boiled (scalded) as a child and remember some of the experience.

The pain was not so debilitating or mind numbing at first. It's like the initial contact is numb and then it's like horrible mainly because of the exposure it causes to nerves and such. I do remember that while it was hard to think, I could focus, mainly on wanting the pain to stop, who was around me and where my parents were. I clearly recall fighting in the ambulance because I was in pain and didn't want people to touch me. I was pretty freaked out and in a similar postion to Curly (i was doped the hell up and theres like a picture of me wrapped liked a mummy smiling super hard). Curly is clearly cognoscente enough to track people with his eyes, stifle himself after Jimmy starts abusing him and to start panicking when Jimmy brings out the knife at the table.

I think the issue is he likely can't talk. His jaw is likely broken or somewhat damaged and he has no lips which means it's gonna be inherently harder to form words and sentences. That all said, we know his vocal cords are relatively intack as he can scream and laugh and audibly cry. You can still make sound without intact vocal cords but they would sound inherently different than what Curly is doing in game.

If he could talk I think he would still be in so much shock and grief he'd just blame himself or be desperate for comfort. He blames himself and would be apologizing for letting the ship crash. I think through the way he talks about it would tip the others off that it wasn't him. He's likely repetitive and repeating things in a similar vein before he ran in to the cockpit: "I should've-"s and "If I only-"s but mainly also not wanting Jimmy around him or actively being quiet around him. I don't think his sentences are super coherent and he knows that but he's understandable. I think he'd try hard to answer questions but depending on whose asking him and how, it's all a matter if he can handle the stress.

I don't think his psyche is broken but the dude is probably having like PTSD flashes, dissociating harder than before the crash and so hopped up on pain killers his mood is shifting drastically.

I read a Hound Ruby fic recently called I can almost hear the Hounds that I really enjoyed and it got me thinking about these two again.

Something that's been on my mind since I last drew them was that I wanted to find ways to distinguish Penny's look more from her usual appearance; she has the red lights and the twisted ahoge and she was scraped up a bit but I wanted to go further.

So I'm leaning more into the cyberpunk nightmare that is Penny's existence. While with Salem she probably looks as I drew her previously but once they leave they lack the resources to keep her in top shape in the absence of Watts' or military funding.

So wear and tear take its toll and they end up needing to use less than optimal parts as replacements; maybe they can scavenge parts from the Atlesian Knights on occasion too. The result is: she ends up looking more obviously mechanical.

When you idly think about Celegorm possibly being most like Nerdanel of all the sons of Feanor, and then you start thinking about Nerdanel getting a post-Darkening moral decay arc all of her own to mirror her son(s)'s.

i have an absolutely vital question: what would neon future scoundrel consider the worst thing about fallen berlin

it can't get away with anything anymore. quiet permanent murder? pretty much everyone has an online identity. bribery? tracked on 7 different websites from the moment the transaction goes through. strangling one of its employees to death because they dared to talk back about its horrible anti-labor business practices? it immediately gets clipped and reposted and it has to spend the next 2 weeks trying to undo its cancellation on twitter.

also its friends. it misses having those. not that it was ever exactly good at having them... but it misses them all the same.
