When reading Lord of the Rings, and it starts to go into how playful the elves are, or if it has elves singing a song...
I like to imagine it as Māori war chants instead.
It's cooler.

Damian, on his way to meet Batman for the first time, managed to find and break a Time Amulet. Clockwork is not pleased.
He was looking around the cargo hold of the plane he was on, bored, and found it.
Then he broke it trying to use it as a throwing star.
Time stopped.
Clockwork appeared.
"You are...irresponsible. Your time is warped. Your body is not the age it should be. You need more time to grow mentally. Your punishment will also be a blessing; I will correct your age."
Boom; four years of accelerated aging gone in an instant.
Damian is now six years old.
For those who don't get it; Damian was literally aged up by four years.

DPxDC Prompt
Danny doesn't have the best spatial awareness, you'd think he would given his bout as a vigilante, but his rogues all had the convenient ability of setting off his ghost sense and letting him know when to turn on his awareness.
So when he was taken in by Bruce Wayne in Gotham, far away from any ghosts or portals, he just didn't have any reason to be on guard. It worked well for him since his vigilante days were over and he could put all his focus on school again.
But you see, when he was first taken in, it was just him and his foster brother Tim staying at the manor.
Fast forward to now, Danny gets home from school to find not only Bruce waiting at the table for dinner, but a kid who looks surprisingly like Bruce??? The kid is small, rude and trying to be threatening in a way Danny doesn't really see as such, like the kid is like 8 how much could they really do???
Turns out a lot.
After Danny and Tim sat down and the introductions were made, Bruce filled them in on the situation that was Damian. Tim seemed to take it as a new puzzle, looking to Damian and Bruce periodically as if he could get answers simply by staring. Danny took it in stride, it isn't that unusually for a rich guy to have secret flings that result in children down the line.
Dinner was in full swing when it happened, there had been some bantering the entire time and many threats of bodily harm coming from Damian which weren't met with as many reprimands as Danny assumed it should. A distinct thunk sound was heard after a particularly harsh threat and Danny looked over to see a knife now embedded in Tim's chair where his head once was.
Before he could react, Bruce was standing with a sharp reprimand and Danny collided harshly with his chair as a new knife embedded itself in his shoulder. He cried out in shock, it has been over a year since his last ghost fight and honestly he forgot how much that hurts!
Aka, Bruce and Dick are forced to take Damian's threats more seriously when the civilian Danny is in the crossfire instead of just the trained vigilante Tim.

You know those fics where Danny and Damian are twins? What if we made them slightly angstier/different?
What if a bad reveal happens, and Clockwork de ages Danny to the age he was when he ‘died’ with the Al ghul’s?
Meanwhile, Damian had revealed his brothers existence, and a grave was made for his brother on the Wayne cemetery, even though they didn’t have a body.
One night, Jason and Damian go to the grave again, and hear a noise. A scratching sound that Jason knows far too well. Within a second, he starts digging, trying to get to the coffin. Damian notices that both his and Jason’s eyes are glowing, yet he doesn’t feel rage, only curiosity.
Jason finally reaches the coffin and yanks the top open, to reveal a crying de aged Danny, who was scraping at the coffin, thinking his parents buried him. It’s not until he opens his eyes, and sees his twin that he figures out what’s going on.
“Akhi… where are we?”

yo am i hallucinating or did game grumps get swatted like, years ago, and everyone kept quiet because they wanted to keep it under wraps?
because everywhere i search, there is no result, but i very clearly remember this happening.
so either it was a prophetic dream, or i had a weirdly vivid dream while i was in college
or i'm just straight up fucked up in the head but i swear this happened and now the internet is wiped there is no results

this one
Concept: fairy tale where the wicked step-parent (who is of course also some sort of warlock) transforms the princess into a swan, as one does, but rather than running off to mope around in a lake and be beautifully tragic, the princess decides to stick around the palace and cause problems on purpose.

Little Zuko and little Azula love Lu Ten. They love Lu Ten so much, they successfully smuggled themselves into Lu Ten's baggage when Lu Ten left to go fight.
Lu Ten, meanwhile, finds out that his little cousins snuck along for the ride way too late.
He knows they're gonna lose the fight.
He isn't about to let a couple of little kids die like that, murdered by Ba Sing Se soldiers too hyped up by war.
He may have been prepared to put his own life on the line, but he's not sacrificing Zuko or Azula's. But he also knows that if he flees the field with them, then Ozai will absolutely use that as an excuse to "punish" his own children.
Lu Ten does not want to know what that punishment entails. He is, in fact, more terrified by whatever it may be than the literal war raging outside his tent.
So.
So.
He swallows his pride for his country, his love for his father, and his dreams of being a successful general.
He grabs the kids, fakes his death, and runs.

Bruce is bad at cooking. No, like. You don't understand-
Alfred is not the only one who has banned him from the kitchen.
Bruce will watch a troll TikTok of someone deep-frying frozen spaghetti and do it for real.
Vicki Vale is clearly looking for proof that Bruce Wayne is not a dumbass, and the only way to shake her is...
To invite her over for an interview, without Bruce knowing, and let Bruce try to make them both lunch.
Examples of things he would actually try; Countertop Spaghetti, whatever the fresh hell is going on in this complication.

Vulcan: *sees human do something cute, clutches heart*
Human: WHO THE FUCK CROSS CONTAMINATED THEIR FOOD WITH MEAT
Just saw fanart where Spock is clutching his heart and because of where it is, for a moment I thought he was clutching his stomach
And it made me think about how if you were a little less knowledgeable on Vulcans, or even if you knew but it slipped your mind, you could see a Vulcan clutching their heart after experiencing great emotion and think they were suffering from nausea or hunger
So now I’m thinking about worried well-meaning Humans fussing over their Vulcan crewmate(s) whenever they see them do that (obviously it’s because the replicators need more Vulcan dishes, they decide)
