So this low-key makes no sense but:

Bruce has a metagene. It is that any cape he wears has a pocket dimension. The robins have an uncontrollable urge to hide in it.

It doesn't even need to be a legitimate cape. He was playing superheroes with a besheet when he was seven, and he pulled a medieval battle axe out of it. The Wayne's have never owned a medieval battle axe. Alfred, Thomas and Martha were extremely confused and concerned about it's origins.

Yes, I know Bruce isn't a meta. But it'd be really funny if he was. Especially with such a specific, weird power. That's how he fits all the stuff in his cape.

Like, snacks, and weapons, and Tim swears that one time he saw him just make a whole motorcycle appear from it.

Dick was cold on patrol once, and Bruce opened his cape, and just thought nothing of the fact that Dick just disappeared into it, dismissed it as a result of a really heavy warm cape.

Dick found himself in a warm, cozy, dark place, and immediately decided to go there as much as possible. He then told Jason, who didn't believe him at first but then found himself in the pocket dimension and was like "fuck yeah this is awesome".

He didn't tell Tim, and Tim didn't feel as if he was allowed to ask Batman to hide under his cape even when he was cold, so it took several years of vigilante-ing before Tim figured it out.

Damian didn't really have any chances to hide in Bruce's cape before he was lost in time, the cape didn't work the same for dick, and by the time Bruce was back, Damian believed he was too old for such childish things as seeking shelter in his father's cape.

The robins just think that Bruce got his cape enchanted somehow, and just didn't care to tell them in typical Bruce fashion. Bruce has no idea about this and is just happy that his kids like him enough to feel comfortable with him during patrol.

Little Grayson and his Talon Knights

Got a new idea cooking in my head.

Another DPxDC idea.

A reborn into DCverse Toddler!Danny but also Dad!Dick and Talons.

Danny is reborn into the DCverse (either he's a clone of Dick, a created test tube baby, OR a kid Dick unknowingly had during his amnesia year) and wakes up in the Court of Owls who finally have their Gray Son and will turn him into the greatest Talon ever.

Thing is, Danny still has his ghost powers (King Danny? Idk leaving it open, either that or just able to control clean ectoplasm) and knows whatever fruitloops have him, this will not be fun. So, when none of the Owls are watching him, he uses his abilities to influence a few Talons and they all book it out of the place.

Danny later finds himself walking the dirty Gotham streets with a few Talons, one holding his hand while the others hide in the shadows in case they need to protect the baby Talon they all care for.

Of course, the sighting of a Talon holding a toddler's hand catches the camera's and Oracles attention very very fast.

One of the Batboys is sent out, not Dick he's on a space mission right now, and whoever it is, is shocked to see a toddler that has a LOT of similarities to Dick.

Question for the researcher Sif stuff. Seeing as Loop is a star would Sif be able to see them clearly or would they still need to either feel their face? [Though clearly Loop wouldn't let that happen but you know.]

They would be able to see Loop well! The researcher's relationship with Loop (who is still Start Again siffrin in the au btw) is actually really interesting, cause siffrin does not remember time loops but he can vaguely sense it after all his studies, and since they are almost magnetically pulled toward stars, they always find Loop.

Something something about all the firefam being infected and needing to cure a part of themselves before they can move forward on their journey and this 2 parter is to get them to that place.

Something about buck being trapped outside - separated from his team and it representing how he’s felt his whole life - separate - the odd one out - on the outside of things - abandoned - nothing he does being enough.

Athena fighting against the system - and trying to do so from within a part of it but it pushes back against her but she hasn’t realised it yet.

Hen - always under pressure - needing to justify her existence because of who she is - a black lesbian - but her team that’s around her help to relieve that pressure.

Chim - the person who takes himself out of the equation in acts of selflessness - unable to save Kevin from afar in the past but can help save Hen here and now - even while infected.

Bobby - the leader but from the sidelines - instructing and guiding but never truly part of things - being the one to perform hens surgery to save her life and sacrificing’ himself to get the antivirus is him getting to be a part of things and have someone lead him for a change - all playing into his doubts about his abilities and skills as a captain - and proving him to be the best captain

Maddie - always having to listen and support from the sidelines - like with Daniel - listening to her parents decision to pretend he didn’t exist and having to support Buck because they wouldn’t/couldnt. She’s just rediscovered her voice and now she’s going to use that power to help save Chim.

Eddie - being absent - a metaphor for who Eddie truly is being absent from his life - not getting to be a child because he was forced into a parental role by Helena and Ramon meaning he was absent from his childhood - when you figure out who you are - not present in this episode - but now he is figuring out what is important to him - Chris and the family he built in LA - and that will lead him to return to LA

It has been SO long since I've done CotL art, and might I say, I forgot how much I love drawing my favorite worm! I've even messed around with his design and I'm loving it!

The context of these basically boils down to the Leshylamb au idea I have where Leshy is very much not down for the whole "kill and entire species" plan his siblings have, even setting aside that the sheep in this au are a large faction of his people and he may or may not have some blossoming feelings for a certain one (╹ڡ╹ )

I've always hc'd that the bishops all represent dualities, ya know, like famine and bounty, pestilence and cure, war and peace, and chaos and order. Now, Leshy isn't the god of fate or anything like that, but his domain is definitely tied to it with how fate and prophesy are kinda the most orderly something can be. A predetermined outcome.

Leshy tries, but he can't sway his siblings to spare the sheep and to not make their inevitable demise worse, so he instead begins plotting on a way to at least mitigate the damage. What? All the sheep have fled the towns on the edge of Darkwood? How could he have known? He's been VERY busy bolstering his following in preparation for the loss of them. I think his only act of true outward defiance of their plan would be to openly not have his people join in hunting the sheep, the rest of his and his followers' actions would be much more underhanded with lots of plausible deniability.

I dunno, just a thought. I'm not great at building stories :P Still gonna fiddle with the idea tho, maybe I'll try drafting little story snippets?

thinking about how Humans Are Space Orcs stories always talk about how indestructible humans are, our endurance, our ability to withstand common poisons, etc. and thats all well and good, its really fun to read, but it gets repetitive after a while because we aren't all like that.

And that got me thinking about why this trope is so common in the first place, and the conclusion I came to is actually kind of obvious if you think about it. Not everyone is allowed to go into space. This is true now, with the number of physical restrictions placed on astronauts (including height limits), but I imagine it's just as strict in some imaginary future where humans are first coming into contact with alien species. Because in that case there will definitely be military personnel alongside any possible diplomatic parties.

And I imagine that all interactions aliens have ever had up until this point have been with trained personnel. Even basic military troops conform to this standard, to some degree. So aliens meet us and they're shocked and horrified to discover that we have no obvious weaknesses, we're all either crazy smart or crazy strong (still always a little crazy, academia and war will do that to you), and not only that but we like, literally all the same height so there's no way to tell any of us apart.

And Humans Are Death Worlders stories spread throughout the galaxy. Years or decades or centuries of interspecies suspicion and hostilities preventing any alien from setting foot/claw/limb/appendage/etc. on Earth until slowly more beings are allowed to come through. And not just diplomats who keep to government buildings, but tourists. Exchange students. Temporary visitors granted permission to go wherever they please, so they go out in search of 'real terran culture' and what do they find?

Humans with innate heart defects that prevent them from drinking caffeine. Humans with chronic pain and chronic fatigue who lack the boundless endurance humans are supposedly famous for. Humans too tall or too short or too fat to be allowed into space. Humans who are so scared of the world they need to take pills just to function. Humans with IBS who can't stand spicy foods, capsaicin really is poison to them. Lactose intolerance and celiac disease, my god all the autoimmune disorders out there, humans who struggle to function because their own bodies fight them. Humans who bruise easily and take too long to heal. Humans who sustained one too many concussions and now struggle to talk and read and write. Humans who've had strokes. Humans who were born unable to talk or hear or speak, and humans who through some accident lost that ability later.

Aliens visit Earth, and do you know what they find? Humanity, in all its wholeness.
