I've been brewing this post for far too long in my drafts, but I need more doomed!Bruce and Jason throughout universes. And it is not even always about the same Jaybin, dying in the warehouse scenarios!
Sometimes Jason is just a kid, who died in front of Batman, who maybe jumped in between Batman and the villain recklessly, to keep him safe, and whose blood stuck under Bruce's nails. His face haunts him in nightmares, still.
In other realities, Bruce meets Jason as a teen, and they never even get to become father and son officially - but they slowly get into each other's lives, until something awful happens, leaving a ghost of a smirking kid stroll behind Bruce's hunched figure for the rest of his life.
Or maybe it is one of these realities, where Jason crawls out of the Alley Crime himself, and manages to become famous in Gotham; the one, where he opens a charity fond, dedicated to people, who fight with the drug addiction. Bruce Wayne is sympathetic of a kid he meets during some of the events, and as they slowly start contacting each other more often, getting closer, he promises himself to protect him. Expect, Batman is late to save Jason Todd from the hands of yet another villain.
It could be the priest Jason Todd that meets bleeding out Batman on the stairs of the church, and who helps him out, for what he later pays with his life. Or they are not really vigilantes in any of these universes - just father and son.
And in some of these universes, they reconcile. In one of them, some of the medics connect the dots that a catatonic boy, who is covered in dirt, calling for his dad, for Bruce is Bruce's Wayne dead son, and try calling him. In another, LoA!Jason with his memory still being in a haze, crosses his path with Batman, before getting dipped in the Lazarus Pit.
But the point stands.
In all of them, Bruce Wayne is too late. In all of them, Bruce Wayne fails to save Jason Todd.
#i actually have a specific scenario in my head#basically early 20tish Jason who works as a bartender in Alley Crime#and Bruce (still Batman) who never picked up anyone after Dick#but his relationship with Dick is still strained#they try to mend things but more often than not they can't find a common ground#Bruce once visits this bar where Jason works too tired and mourning his parents that day and Jason amuses him#Jason not instantly understands Bruce is Wayne until he leaves him tips higher than 1k dollars lol#Bruce starts visit more#Jason shares his lore a little - he was picked up by the owner of the bar as a kid#they talk about books and about the fact that Jason saves money for college#Bruce helps him out ofc#he invites him to meet Alfred and Dick#everything is okay#and then... Joker happens#he takes Jason as a hostage bc he figures out that Batman knows the boy#Jason atp knows that Bruce is Batman but never confronts him about it#this time Batman comes in time#Jason tries to kill Joker but Batman stops him#so Jason doesn't kill him#they hug#and when they hug Joker shots Jason#of course Batman blames himself lmao#he might or might not fail to keep himself in check and kills Joker after this#but he instantly leaves his cowl behind because he can't allow himself to live with what happened#if you want a happy ending red hood can return in the same manner as in canon but without beefing bruce ofc#jason todd#bruce wayne#red hood#batman

they tried to rebrand as The Criminals but riz is literally the city council's treasurer and also turns out people in their late 20s don't really name their friend groups. so now they're The Intrepid Heroes
#fantasy high#figueroth faeth#kristen applebees#adaine abernant#gorgug thistlespring#fabian seacaster#riz gukgak#yes this is sorta from the same thing Ive been doing for future!riz lol. that riz is the same design basically#just the above board sona#u can kiiinda tell which of the bad kids I have a very clear vision for their future design and which I kinda wing it for lol#kristen's tank top is white and the coat is galaxy tie dye btw. I didnt have the energy to express that in ink but thats the ult version#adaine I truly imagine to grow up to be the perpetual t shirt and jeans person but she carries her sword everywhere#gorgugs truth is that shes just hot she can wear anything. but I do give him the skirt hike bc I love him#I really like skirt hike... such a fun thing to put in designs. if ur garment has no variance in how it falls or drapes u can do it urself#this is also a little bit of an exercise in how much of an accessory I can freehand from memory#fig's bass I straight up did not fact check for. just rawdogging it memory only. same with fandrangor and adaine's crocs#I did write in my funny little document that gorgug takes up baking and is good at it bc I think itd be good for him#to do basically chemistry and math that also feeds people#out of them... kristen and riz would be Good good at it. but riz would get way too stressed abt the recipe and kristen bakes by#eyeballing the texture. fabian likes decorating but refuses to get anywhere near the heat of an oven. adaine isnt good at it first try#and is like well my effort goes to other things actually. fig Loves baking and Nobody lets her into the kitchen#idk why this manifests so clear in my head. must be bc of recent foccacia events#living in the subtropics is hell for baking nobody try it ok? I tell u

guys twitter dot com doesn't like when you criticize toriel's parenting decisions. don't do it
#made a thread talking about the end of ch4 and both kris and susie's VISCERAL discomfort with drunk tori#and also made a few replies talking about how she repeatedly checked out that book about caring for humans#taking an over-generalization of humans to tell her what her kid needs instead of the actual kid#and the fact that she hasn't even attempted to help them brighten up their side of the bedroom..?#OR CLEAN UP THAT BLOOD STAIN IT IS ABSURD THAT SUSIE'S THE ONE WHO ENDS UP DOING IT.#and the fact tjat in ch2 she was just kinda like oh kris vanishes sometimes....... it's just a kris thing#and she didn't even knock on the bathroom door and ask (no one since they left but she didn't know that) if they were okay#in game time her tires got slashed yesterday and it unnerved her enough that she didn't want to let susie walk home#but chapter 4 she like completely forgets she has a child#kris goes radio silent until LATE into the night and she just doesn't notice. too busy drinking and dancing with sans#THAT fucks me up!#the game is not subtle about the idea that toriel and asgore have not been meeting kris's needs for a long time#but no one liked me pointing that out š.#asgore is just kind of a fucking disaster in this game i'm scared of him honestly#and toriel... i see that she's trying but she's also not?#there are a lot of things she overlooks because she doesn't know what to do and i understand that#but i don't think it's an excuse. as a parent it is her job to figure out what to do#and i can immediately see dozens of things she could be trying to do differently but she doesn't try them#she's a flawed person! sorry!#deltarune spoilers#for my tags my bad

Tubbo: I don't know my left and right!
Bad: What do you mean you don't know your left and right?!
Tubbo: I'M DYSLEXIC!!!
Bad: That's got nothing to do with left and right!!!
Tubbo: Oh my god, it literally does! That's not even a bit, it's like the main thing of dyslexia! [Laughs]
Bad: I thought it was just like, mixing up the letters! You're saying you actually mix left and right difficult?
Tubbo: MATEā EVERYTHING'S MIXED UP!
Foolish: You know what, we'll see you on Twitter, Bad.
Bad: Iā didn't know that, ok? I feel likeā that's not a real thing!
Tubbo: WHAT?!? I'm sat right here!
Fit: Hmm... That's a little problematic, isn't it? It's a little problematic. š¤Ø
Tubbo: This is just like the chairs! He hates everything about me as a person!

TRANSCRIPT
Bad: Go to the left, go to the left andā
Tubbo: I don't know my left and right! This way?
Bad: Left. Left left left!
Tubbo: [Shouting over him] SORRY!
Bad: What do you mean you don't know your left and right?!
Bad: You got it!
Tubbo: Thank you.
Bad: Yippee!
Foolish: [Laughs as he imitates Tubbo] "I don't know my left and right!"
Tubbo: I'M DYSLEXIC!!!
Foolish: [Chuckling] That was awesome.
Bad: That's got nothing to do with left and right!!! I think you're just dumb!
Tubbo: Oh my god, it literally does! It literally does.
Bad: No it doesn't!
Tubbo: I feelā Dude, Iā [Puts his head in his hands] Mate.
Bad: [Sounding a little less-certain] ...Does it?
Tubbo: Yeah, it does!
Bad: Does it actually?
Tubbo: Yeah, it does!
Bad: Wait, really???
Tubbo: YEAH!
Foolish: Way to go Bad, now you're just an asshole.
Bad: Aw... :(
Tubbo: That's not even a bit, it's like the main thing of dyslexia! [Laughs]
Bad: I thought it was just like, mixing up the letters! You're saying you actually mix left and right difficult?
Tubbo: MATEā EVERYTHING'S MIXED UP!
Foolish: You know what, we'll see you on Twitter, Bad.
Bad: Iā didn't know that, ok? I feel likeā that's not a real thing!
Tubbo: WHAT?!? I'm sat right here!
Foolish: [Laughs]
Fit: [Sarcastic] Yeah, it's not real guys, it's not real.
Bad: No, I feel like he's making this part up!
Foolish: You see how he was mansplaining it to you? He was kinda mansplaining it too...
Tubbo: [Rubbing his temples] Just mansplaining to me dyslexia.
Fit: Hmm... That's a little problematic, isn't it?
Bad: No! I'm just asking if he's being serious or not!
Fit: It's a little problematic. š¤Ø
Bad: So it really isn't obvious, like your words?
Tubbo: This is just like the chairs! He hates everything about me as a person!
#Tubbo#Badboyhalo#Arkanis#A Passagem#Bad#FitMC#Foolish Gamers#Foolish#Fit#February 20 2025#Not Bad with the accidental ableism PFT#I actually didn't know about that either though! Really interesting#I looked up some more facts about it and it's interesting that a lot of resources don't even mention that as one of the issues#Man when I was working with kids with different ''Developmental Disabilities'' I tried to do research on things#Partially so I could figure out better strategies to help them and partially because I was genuinely curious#But dyslexia was one of those ''Oh yeah I know what it is!'' assumptions#I know Bad's worked with students with similar difficulties so oops!#Just goes to show you should always be checking your biases / assumptions and you're never too old to learn something new#In Bad's defense though Tubbo and Foolish do pull pranks / lie sometimes. But Bad does the same thing so#Pftt#Foolish going ''I'll see you on Twitter'' really made me laugh#I was definitely wide-eyed listening thinking ''YOU'RE DIGGING YOURSELF A DEEPER GRAVE STOP WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD BAD'' pft#Very unfortunate series of events but it all worked out in the end#I empathize with Tubbo though it gets pretty exhausting explaining certain things to folks over and over#Even the ones with good intentions#Anyway#Edited#Lightly Edited

#this one is very easy to get strange angles with. because it's just got so many weird shapes on it#porygon#bald#even the original front-facing angle was strange and you could barely tell it's front-facing#hellā this angle you can at least tell what it's supposed to be#if you remember the realpokemon post. you remember#this thing also got like banned from the anime or some shit because of an episode that featured it giving kids seizures#fucking did i almost just type āseasuresā?? hello?? where am i#even though it was pikachu who initiated the explosion that caused the seizures. and iirc it wasn't even that many seizures#it was like the galaxy note7. where only like 20 or so phones actually exploded but it still got banned from planes#or maybe i'm remembering Every tidbit of information here incorrectly!#y'see folks. this is why i am not a reliable source of information#because i will not be fact checking any of this and instead i'll end off the post with ābut idk lolā#edit: it was a lot of seizures. and yes this justifies taking the episode off the air but i donāt feel like the pokĆ©mon itself#deserves to be banned from the anime is my point. plenty of folks still like this pokĆ©mon#hmm. i wonder if i maybe shouldnāt be spreading middle school rumors on the middle school rumors website

Asgore: Constantly makes his ex wife uncomfortable by continuing to hit on her, uses his child as a way to try and interact with her, is hinted to be working with Carol to create more dark fountains
Everyone: ...
Toriel: Gets drunk one time
Everyone: SHE IS SATAN SHE IS AN ABUSIVE ALCHOLIC AND A NEGLECTFUL MOTHER SHE NEVER SHOULD HAVE DUMPED HER SWEET AND INNOCENT HUSBAND-
#deltarune spoilers#swinging a bat at a hornet's nest but maybe some hornets deserve to get their shit kicked in#y'all have been Fucking Weird about Toriel for years now#because she committed the heinous crime of *checks notes* divorcing someone#and this isn't just deltarune toriel! People were fucking weird about undertale toriel too!#and we know for a fact she's justified in not being interested in asgore there because we know for a fact he murdered a bunch of kids!#And frankly. Genuinely. Even if Toriel did just dump Asgore because she just didn't love him anymore#even if there's no dramatic backstory reason. She just grew apart from him.#there are hints that even when their relationship was good she found him a bit frustrating#even if all of that is true#that's Fine.#that's a completely valid reason not to want to be with someone#you are not obligated to stay in a relationship with someone for any reason#deltarune toriel

[ID in alt]
More wartime/SiB timeline sketches, this time with some Goats :D
Asmund and Gormflaith are my ocs! I'm a big fan of when ppl use Asgore's old design as a base for his dad, so, of course I had to as well, hehe. And then I wanted Toriel to have a cool maiden name so, Eldis :>
#edit: had to move the tags up and rearrange stuff cuz they weren't working lmao.#sunn art#sunn ocs#dont repost#undertale#sib timeline#toriel#asgore#oc: asmund dreemurr#oc: gormflaith dreemurr#fanart#artists on tumblr#undertale fanart#i have toriels hair grown out a bit cuz i like to think she started buzzing it after. yk. her kids died ._.#tbh not totally hyped abt gormflaith's design.. might redesign her later but. for now we have this#i think the parents are just stiff to me cuz i was so focused on getting the design out that I didn't do good with the pose#maybe if i do more drawings ill like it more. idk. anyway#went on a name rabbit hole trying to research old swedish/germanic/norse-origin names that could combine into āasgoreā#Fun fact: asgore actually has a fairly close equivalent in Asger (germanic origin); derivative of ĆsgƦiRR; which vaguely means āSpear godā!#interesting stuff. anyways#asmund is āProtector godā while Gormflaith is āSplendid sovereigntyā. cool names And they can (kinda) combine into āasgoreā#(had to compromise with āGorā instead of āGoreā cuz i couldn't find anything with that specific spelling ToT)#Eldis means āflame goddessā. which i thought was fitting :)#all that to say: yall should go check out https://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Main_Page ; its helpful :)#MOVING ON. TAGS [see edit]#almost hit the tag limit with this one boys

nintendo switch 2, more like nintendo I am switching to literally any other method of playing video games
#prices are insane#like let's not forget that the wii was released right before a global recession#and during said recession they still made sure to include controllers ANd wii sports AND SOMETIMES even wii play - TWO FREE GAMES#do not fact check me on this too harshly pls#but i remember we got a bundle with 2 controllers and 2 games and it still cost $300 at most#adjusted for inflation that had to have been cheaper than the non-bundle switch 2 going for $450+ today#i am yelling and swinging hammers at nintendo at the US and at billionaires#like nintendo did you forget you're still the baby game company and you have to actually care about kids and their families' budgets#or are you solely catering to making mario games for 30 yr old sweaty twitch streamers now

Dc x Dp Prompt #5
Demon Twin AU only Damian never had a blood son phase and has ābiological siblingsā (how absurd):
Damian would like to start by saying he is not at fault for this⦠miscommunication. Truly, how was he to know sharing the same blood as Jasmine and Danyal would make them āsiblingsā? Not once has anyone mentioned such absurd claims. He has never and will never treat either of the two the way he would Richard or any of his other siblings, but apparently sharing the same donors when being created automatically makes people siblings.
Worse, father is upset at him and mother for āhiding awayā two of his āchildrenā from him. Richard and Thomas will not stop staring at him. Todd, Brown, and Drake will not stop laughing. Cassandra has not stopped looking at his body language since this whole encounter started. Alfred is giving him his patented disappointed face he oh so hates but what is he to do?
Damian was not hiding anything or anyone. Jasmine and Danyal have not nor will they ever be his siblings. They are the children of Jack and Maddie Fenton just as Richard and the rest of them are Bruceās children. Blood has nothing to do with family. They are at best āgod-siblingsā or ācousinsā if father refuses to believe they are simply childhood companions.
There is barely a hint of emotion as father purses his lips while his siblings continue looking on at him in disbelief. Damian is not understanding why they are having trouble comprehending such simple logic. It is common sense to know that siblings are the children at least one of your parents have raised other than yourself. Parents are the people who raise you. Talia raised him therefore she is his mother. He lives with Bruce who is now raising him and therefore he is his father.
Neither Talia nor Bruce raised Jasmine or Danyal, therefore they are not siblings. It is merely coincidence that he shared blood with both Bruce and Talia. After all, every time heās visited Amity Park, most children look nothing like their parents. How can it not be coincidence when it is clearly far more normal to raise children who donāt share an ounce of blood with you, than those who do.
How can it not be normal when Jack Fenton took Jasmine in so easily knowing he didnāt share any dna with her? Even more so with Danyal who doesnāt share even a drop of blood with either Jack or Maddie. Look at yourself father. Out of all your children, only one shares your dna. Do not try and pin this on Damian for being the only sensible person in this family. Blood siblings, ha, donāt make him laugh.
#dc x dp#dp x dc#dc x dp prompt#dp x dc prompt#dc x dp crossover#dp x dc crossover#danny and damian are twins#they and Jazz are all bio siblings through Bruce#but only Jazz and Danny think of each other as siblings#Jazz is Bruce and Maddieās kid#Jack is infertile#Talia being a great bff to Maddie offered up Bruceās dna#this changes everything and nothing at the same time#Damian never called himself the only blood son#Talia and Raās never instilled it into him knowing Jazz and Danny were around#Damian still had a superiority complex but only because he was heir to demon#the batfam told him to call Jazz/Danny to fact check#unfortunately for them neither Jazz or Danny knew this either#they were all taught that blood didnāt mean shit by both the league and their parents#for Damian this included Bruce too (which he is now slowly regretting)#it also wasnāt until the batfam saw danny that anyone found out danny and Damian were twins#no one in amity ever really thought about why danny and damian looked so similar#amity park is big on adoption#very few of them actually gave birth to their children#this only enforced the thought that raising a child who you sired isnāt common#Damian uses amity park as a reference for whatās considered normal#Bruce almost had an aneurism when he found out about Dan and Ellie

i like leaving easter eggs in my art the way a squirrel leaves acorns stashed around. I put them there and then I forget they were ever there in the first place
#someone fact check me on that tho#pretty sure its some random trivia i picked up from being a hardcore wild krats kid#fox mug continuity is not something i remember doing but i find it very funny in retrospect
