Hyderabad’s forensic genetic investigators have discovered a wildlife crime that involves the mystical mystery and how poachers might deceive the unwary. Little bits of plant material were sent to the DNA investigators in Hyderabad for examination. The plant materials were really the gonads of a male Bengal monitor lizard that the poachers in Tamil Nadu had killed. Through their DNA analysis,…

“Hello, Mr. Wayne. I’m calling on behalf of the Amity Park police department. I… god, there’s no easy way to say this. We found a dead body, and genetic tests identified you as the next of kin.”

A mixture of icy fear and confusion pooled in Bruce’s chest, and he felt himself lean against a wall for support. “What? Who? But, Damian was just here!”

“Don’t worry, it’s not him.”

“He’s the only blood relative I have.”

The officer sighed. “I dunno what to tell you. We don’t know. Kid was dead for months before we dug ‘im up, so identifying any other details towards his previous identity has been… difficult. We don’t even have any missing persons reports it could match. Quite frankly, we were hoping you’d know something, ‘cause we’ve been coming up blank.”

“I will,” Bruce rushed out unthinkingly, his mind still caught up on the word ‘kid’.

“What?”

“I’ll help however I can. Amity Park, you said? Where is that? I’ll book a flight right away."

“No, really, sir. I appreciate it, but you don’t need to do that. No offense, Mr Wayne, but you’re not a forensic analyst.”

The words ‘yes I am’ balanced on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn’t say them. Batman was the detective, not Brucie Wayne. But Batman didn’t have any reason to travel so far afield to investigate a single dead kid, so Bruce Wayne would have to do.

“I at least want to take a look.”

sorry to continually dump ideas into your inbox, but i have yet another. thinking of kryptonians having a mating cycle, and kon going into his first mating period not knowing why he’s suddenly so horny all the time and why he just can’t stop thinking of tim

Very few things bother me LESS than getting presents in my inbox, friend, trust me, haha.

So like, desperately horny needy-feeling and touch-starved Kon who can NOT figure out why he's so gd fixated on Tim to the point that he can't even get it up for anyone else despite being, again, Desperately Horny? And of COURSE Clark didn't give him the Kryptonian version of The Talk, because he's Clark and probably just distractedly told himself Kon was probably too human to need it and he'd just handle it if it ever actually came up, and Kara and Karen ABSOLUTELY assumed Clark HAD already handled it because Kon's HIS clone, and Kon ofc is oblivious to it even mattering or being a thing at all. Kon just thinks he's being a creep and a weirdo about his best friend and kinda hates himself for it.

Kon ALSO does not know how Kryptonians, like . . . actually reproduced, really. Like not in any real detail, at least. Birthing matrix? What's that??

Meanwhile, his Thinker-originated genes are sitting up and paying attention to just how RIDICULOUSLY bad they want to collect genetic material from the insanely smart and clever genius detective who knows a ton of stuff about cloning and forensic science and strategy and how to drive a Super-Cycle. They want that for their mate! They want that for their ONLY mate!! They want to throw their DNA in a test tube together and make a BABY with that mate!!!!

Kon, who is functioning on slightly higher brainpower levels than Kryptonian instinct but is also very uneducated about said instincts and the related methodologies of them, just thinks he's really unnecessarily into the idea of making Tim come in, like . . . whatever part of him, apparently, apparently his stupid horny brain doesn't even care, it just wants Tim to COME and it wants Tim to GIVE him his come, seriously it'd accept a fucking fertility clinic donation cup of it at this point, and HOW IS THAT A NORMAL SEX FANTASY, HUMAN-SOCIALIZED KON DEMANDS. HOW. HOW.

Mating cycle-brained Kon would absolutely, ABSOLUTELY go stick Tim's DNA in a birthing matrix if he could and not even think twice about it, of course.

And absolutely will, if Tim is dumb enough to fuck him when Kon finally snaps and jumps him while Clark's off-planet and not keeping an eye on what's happening in the Fortress. By the time Clark gets back from deep space, morning-after cycle-brained Kon is contentedly watching Kelex mix up a brand-new baby for him and Tim without having, like . . . actually been rational-minded enough to have ASKED Tim . . .

Clark, sweating: . . . I knew I forgot something.

Somewhere in Gotham, Bruce feels an inexplicable urge to get out the kryptonite and stab his best BFF.

I've been thinking about possible hankcon AUs I've never actually seen... Just imagine

Noir Detective AU

Connor as a young, brilliant but uptight federal agent. Hank as a grizzled, burned-out detective who doesn’t want a partner.

They’re forced to work together on a case neither of them wants. Their clashing worldviews make everything harder, until the case breaks open and so does their emotional distance. Classic “enemies to reluctant partners to… maybe something else.”

Fantasy AU

Connor as a scholar, mage apprentice, or monastery scribe with rigid discipline. Hank as a fallen knight, exiled warrior, or mercenary with a drinking problem.

They’re sent on a quest together, maybe to defeat an ancient curse, guard a village, or find a missing artifact. Connor wants structure. Hank wants everyone to leave him alone. Cue arguments, slow trust, and long nights by firelight.

Dark Medieval AU

Connor as a monster hunter, emotionally detached, trained for efficiency. Hank as an herbalist, woodsman, or ex-soldier who understands people, not magic.

They travel together to stop dark creatures, cults, and political rot. Connor is quiet. Hank is blunt. Their growing bond becomes a question of who protects whom, and what makes someone human.

(it could be vice versa as well. Hank as a monster hunter, Connor as a herbalist etc. which fits them even more)

Mafia/Narcotics AU

Connor as an undercover cop working inside a crime syndicate. Hank as a disgraced former detective who knows how the system really works.

Connor is told to find dirt on Hank. But the more they interact, the more he realizes Hank isn’t corrupt, just broken. Dangerous secrets, moral gray areas, and blurred lines follow.

Academic AU

Hank as a university professor (literature, philosophy, criminology etc.) Connor as a grad student or research assistant with a spotless academic record and zero social ease.

They work on a project together, forced into the same orbit. Their connection isn’t some cliché “hot for teacher” thing, it’s two people, both isolated in different ways, learning how to connect.

Corporate Thriller AU

Connor as a cybersecurity analyst or forensic accountant. Hank as an internal investigator or ex-hacker turned security consultant (or something that just fits him more).

Together, they uncover corporate espionage or AI-related corruption. Cold efficiency meets jaded intuition. Mutual frustration turns into mutual respect.

Post-Apocalyptic AU

Connor as a medic, mechanic, or survivalist — calm and precise. Hank as a former cop, now one of the few who can keep people together.

They survive together, in a train convoy, forest outpost, or walled city. It’s not about dramatic declarations. It’s about sharing food, fixing things, and staying human in a broken world.

Historical AU (1940s–1970s)

Hank as a hardboiled PI. Connor as a government lawyer, war veteran, or journalist.

They team up on a case that exposes systemic injustice and in the process, confront their own alienation. Queer-coded, quiet, full of unsaid things and cigarette smoke.

Sci-Fi AU (but no androids)

Connor as a genetically engineered human, not artificial, but grown for perfection. Hank as military or intelligence assigned to monitor him.

Connor struggles with identity, not programming. Hank sees a person when others see an asset. Their bond builds not on rebellion, but choice and learning what “being human” really means.

And of cource, they fall in love with each other in each of these AUs and live happily ever after! Or... at leas quite happily.

I am very interested to hear you out about this theory o.o

ohh okay! ill gladly yap about it!

so when we get info on the UG's research in chapter 5, the report mentions that while Amaterasu was haphazardly just trying every sort of inhumane way to rush out their homunculus, the UG research team was studying... """"superior"""" specimens. now instead of unpacking the eugenics vibes coming off of that phrase, i believe they were studying people who happen to have supernatural powers like fortes.

so they picked number one among them, an obvious choice if you really wanna go for the Most Forte Of Them All.

forensic fortes are described as innate supernatural powers and talents that detectives honed at the WDO. if it's innate, is it a genetic mutation? it could just be magic, but boring, right? i at least think that a genetic mutation could be the case for number one.

so i was thinking, if it's number one's DNA specifically that creates the perfect homunculus, why is that? it's not like having a big wrinkly smart boy brain has much to do with regeneration, immortality, and sunlight. if anything, his pale ass looks weak to the sun.

but... let's take a moment to talk about stem cells. they're basically That Girl when it comes to regenerative medicine in both real life and fiction- they're good for makin more of themselves and for makin more of other cells. and regenerative medicine is precisely the thing mrs. furio was studying! and her research basically solves one of the things that makes homunculi "imperfect"

if i were to give a "scientific" (big quotation marks because none of this is based on real science) explanation for why coalescence works in my magical death god game, i'd say yuma has very special stem cells. perhaps they act particularly fast, first adapting to whoever makes contact with his hands, then going up to the brain to create the brain cells needed to mimic whatever cool new skill he's getting.

now this is.. a stetch, i know. but i think it makes sense for what it is. him having fast acting, highly adaptable stem cells that are especially good with regenerating the brain would be the perfect recipe for creating an immortal creature who won't zombify after a few trips through death's door.

as for the sunlight immunity.... idk man. maybe it's a skill issue?

thanks for asking!

The DNA Mystery in Eucharistic Miracles

Throughout history, reports of Eucharistic miracles have fascinated both believers and scientists. In several cases, consecrated hosts—believed to be transformed into the Body of Christ—have exhibited human flesh and blood. Recent scientific studies have provided astonishing findings that continue to fuel discussion between faith and science.

One of the most compelling discoveries is the presence of human heart tissue in multiple Eucharistic miracles, including those in Lanciano (Italy), Buenos Aires (Argentina), and Tixtla (Mexico). Scientists, including forensic pathologists, have identified this tissue as coming from the left ventricle of the heart, specifically from a person who experienced extreme distress—a finding eerily consistent with the suffering of Jesus during the Crucifixion.

Another remarkable detail is that the blood type found in these miracles is AB-positive, the same as that discovered on the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo (a cloth believed to have covered Jesus' face). This blood type is rare worldwide but is most common among Middle Eastern and Jewish populations, aligning with the historical origins of Jesus Christ.

Perhaps the greatest mystery is that while human DNA has been detected, scientists have never been able to extract a full genetic profile. Normally, a full DNA sequence requires both paternal and maternal contributions, yet in these samples, the expected paternal markers remain absent. Some believers see this as a profound sign of Jesus' divine conception, while sceptics argue that the results remain unexplained.

Regardless of one’s perspective, the scientific evidence surrounding Eucharistic miracles is both fascinating and mysterious, leaving us with more questions than answers. Do these findings confirm the miraculous, or do they point to an unknown natural phenomenon? The debate continues, but one thing is certain—science and faith continue to intersect in surprising ways.

I came up with this when everyone was creating their own Scooby-Doo series ideas back around the time when I first joined Tumblr, but just never poster anything about it. Well, there’s never a better time than the present, right? Especially because I’m probably going to turn this into a fic on AO3 one day.

So, this series takes place in the future. The exact year doesn’t matter, but space travel is something that anybody with a functional ship (car replacements) can do and contact has been made with various alien species.

Here’s the character run down

Shaggy: The only child of two scientists. They wanted him to follow in their footsteps but Shaggy is much more into athletics than academics, though he didn’t do bad at school either. His parents were busy at their lab so they didn’t really pay much attention to him, so when he found a puppy as they were trying to track down a huge mutant creature that had escaped, they didn’t say no. He got into college on a track scholarship, since he was the best runner in the state, and decided to study Xenoarchitecture (Extraterrestrial Architecture) because he had to choose something and it was interesting at least.

Scooby: Shaggy found him in the woods as a puppy who has just finished being weaned off by his mother, and he has stayed by his human and best friend ever since. He does lots of things that normal dogs shouldn’t be able to do, talking for one. All of this is just glossed over by everyone until later in the series.

Velma: Wanted to be a detective when she was a kid, reading and watching any murder mystery she could get her hands on. Her parents discouraged it though because they didn’t want her to get hurt and they thought it was silly. So Velma got more serious about her studies (though she never lost her passion). Despite not having enough money for college, she got a full-ride scholarship for the intelligence she displayed. She majored in Genetic Engineering, but secretly took a minor in Forensics that she’s working into a major online.

Daphne: The youngest sibling, her politician parents continued the tradition of cutting their daughters off after high school so they could earn their places in the world before letting them back in. She had to work several jobs through college that taught her various skills, especially cause they would keep firing her because she would end up late due to having to change her uniforms and go to class. Despite her parents’ lack of contact, she does still have other relatives and political contacts when necessary. An overachiever perfectionist, she’s still completing her several degrees online at the same time as the gang travels around. Xenolinguistics, (Extraterrestrial Languages) Cultural Relations, and Xenopology (Extraterrestrial Anthropology).

Fred: Has the normalist childhood of the gang. Two parents who wanted him to do what made him happy and supported him all the way. He makes jokes about his parents adopting the rest of the gang and they would actually do it. Just as trap happy as he usually is, and still a himbo because why would you change the human golden retriever. He actually has two Bachelors degrees, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Most of his classes overlapped, so he just did both at the same time.

And the Mystery Machine (Fred’s pride and joy) is a freaking spaceship that they fly around in.  Everyone else in the gang agrees that it shouldn’t be able to enter hyperspace, but it does anyway through Fred’s sheer determination, will, engineering skills, and a lot of space duck tape.

Shaggy and Fred when to the same high school where they became friends and ended up at the same college. Velma and Daphne shared a dorm and, it took a bit, But they managed to become friends. Fred and Daphne meet at a coffee shop Daphne was working at and they hit it off and introduced their friends to each other where they got it off. So that’s all established at the beginning of the series, but at some point during the series the four just turn into a big polycule.

Pilot Episode: It’s graduation week and their teachers start disappearing, the suspicion is on a purple hooded figure who has a mask reminiscent of a prominent alien species at the college. The gang decided to investigate as tensions grow. Once they solve the mystery, the day before graduation, they decide that they’re going to travel and solve more mysteries. Daphne goes along with them anyways since she moved her courses to be online. As they take off into the stars, a figure with high tech binoculars watched them go before turning to make a phone call.

The idea is for it to be Episodic and also have an Overarching Storyline that involves actual monsters showing up. Kind of like how Milo Murphy’s Law is if you’ve ever seen that.

[zephyr-ro-emenki]

Ok, first off, you forgot the Al Ghul's and the League of Assassin's.

Second off, I'd use either Mad Hatter, Professor Pyg, or Calender Man. I chose these 3 because they're generally regarded as B-Tier/C-Tier Batman Villains, who are genuinely scary as fuck when you stop and think about it. I'll go over the movie plots for them all individually, but I wanna ask a third point.

Third Point, what's the limit on using the pre-used Batman Villains? Because I'd like to use some of them in the plot, but not as their Villain selves, but rather as they were before they became Villains. This story, no matter who I choose as the Villain would be a Very early tale in Batman's History, around year 1-3ish, so I'd have alot of Characters as their non-Villain Identities, such as Harvey Dent, Harleen Quinzell, Victor Fries, Jonathan Crana, Edward Nygma, Thomas Elliot, Selina Kyle, Roman Scionis, Carmine Falcone, Arnold Wesker, Pamela Isley and Kirk Langstrom. All of them would have varying roles from background cameos, plot roles, to being mentioned in passing.

The base story's year depends on the Villain. If the Villain is Calender Man, then this story starts off in year 1 Batman, and will play out over the next 2 years in universe as it ends in Year 3. If it's Mad Hatter or Professor Pyg, it's year 2 Batman as he's gotten his baby licks of crime fighting in and is getting his groove on by fighting his first ever "Well what the fuck" sort of Villains.

For the Calender Man story, it's more an Adaptation of the Long Halloween storyline, where Calendar Man is a Serial Killer who makes his killings around Holidays and specific dates, with the story taking place over 3 years it allows me as the director to create 3 variations of the Batsuit, 1 for each year, to appease to toy makers, and Give Batman reasons/explanations for a majority of his more advanced detective equipment in his early days as being made to find clues and track Calendar Man. Story would start with Batman taking down Drug operations between the Falcone and Scionis crime families, with a side plot in the first act (year 1) about Jim Gordon beginning to trust Batman and mentioning in passing his little girl Barbara who's only 7 at the time. I'd also have further side moments in between the search for Calendar Man where Bruce Wayne gets time to simply be Bruce Wayne, hanging out with Childhood and College Friends Thomas, Harleen, and his newest friend, Harvey Dent, who just got brought into the DA's office staff as a Junior Deligate out of college.

Act 2 would cover Year 2, finding more info on Calendar Man's murders and Past as Batman brings all the evidence to various experts depending on what Clue's or trails were left behind (Going to Dr. Isley if a specific plant needs to be identified, Dr. Fries if the Calendar Man used a freezer to hide/stash the bodies until they're removed and dumped on important dates, with Dr. Edward Nygma working as the resident forensic scientist for the GCPD, and Dr. Langstrom being the one you go to in case an animal was involved or if there was risk of rare genetics playing into their deaths.

During the third act (3rd year) they grow ever closer to catching the Calendar man, with them finding evidence of him planning his next attack of Hayley's Circuis, who's performing a show on a Holiday I haven't decided yet. The intended target of his murder this holiday is Tony Zucco, a crime boss working for the Falcone Family, who Calender Man was convinced to go after by Roman Scionis, now going by Black Mask. During the fight against Calendar Man, Tony Zucco sabotaged and ended up killing John and Mary Grayson. Calender Man would surrender afterwards to the police, as he holds himself to a tight moral compass of "only 1 person must be murdered on a Holiday per year", with the death of John and Mary Grayson's violating his code. Bruce Wayne, at the Funeral for the Grayson's, approaches the Grayson's son, 8 year old Dick Grayson, offering to take him in, coming up with the half-truth that he was in attendance at the show, and went through a similar situation, offering to take Dick in. And finally, As Calendar Man is being shipped off to Arkham Asylum, he is introduced to his Arkham Psychologist, Victor Crane, who promises to try to... fix him.

I can cover the Mad Hatter and Professor Pyg story later, but the base story is of Human experimentation and Mind Controlling the people of Gotham, with me more likely tieing both Villains into 1 movie.

You get free rein and a blank check to write the next Batman movie but you can’t use any villains who have appeared in any previous live-action Batman movies. That means you can’t use Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, Riddler, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Dr. Freeze, Scarecrow, or Bane.
