Prompt 115

“Seriously old man?” the rumbling voice nearly caused Tim to jump, his eyes darting away from where Ras was sitting, the Al Ghul almost seeming to perk. It was kind of hard to miss the man… teen… being? It was kind of hard to miss the owner of the voice what with how their hair looked like it was on fire. 

They motioned around at well, everything, crimson eyes looking exasperated. “Really?” They were definitely motioning towards him, interrupting Ras when he opened his mouth to talk. “No, I don’t want to hear it, I swear- Did he kidnap you?” That was definitely aimed at him. 

“N-no?” Tim was feeling slightly unbalanced and may be on hour sixty without sleep at this point, if the hour long nap was counted. “I need help finding my not-dad who's lost in time.” 

The being let out a strangled noise that Tim could nearly swear was almost another one, but couldn’t vocalize his slurred thoughts as the dude muttered something, motioning around as though he was tempted to strangle something or someone. 

Ras cleared his throat, looking almost awkward which was how Tim knew he had to be dreaming or drugged. Probably drugged. “Jordan, how good to see you, it’s been so long-”

“Can it Pops,” the being-named-Jordan scoffed, finger pointing towards the Demon’s Head. “Moms still pissed and isn’t coming back any time soon with you still pulling this shit.” 

Tim felt his brain stall, process for a moment, then process some more over what he just heard before his mouth ran before it could catch up. “Ras is married???”

I'm sorry you had to deal with people invalidating your pain when you were a kid

Thank you for the sympathy. I appreciate it.

While I won’t say it’s okay that people did that when I was a kid, and it did leave some lasting damage (both physically and relationship-wise that years later I am still trying to repair), I also don’t regret it happening.

Like yeah, it really sucked, but it also made me stop listening to the “kids over-exaggerate” “you’re too young to be in pain (dismissive)” “kids/teens are just dramatic” “kids just complain because they want attention/bored” rhetorics that I heard all the time. If I hadn’t experienced that dismissal myself, I could have grown up to be unsympathetic towards people as well.

It was a personal experience in learning kids deserve to be listened to and acknowledged, and that youth doesn’t guarantee health, that I don’t think I would have truly learned otherwise.

Thinks oh so hard abt the spiraling upwards clan founders, especially the birchclan founders. Silly lil kitties who's pasts are drenched in blood with the primary regret of not drawing it sooner

i didn't realize until recently how little fantasy stuff is in my world. sure they're all animals or dragons and they've got magic but there's no actual gods and i didn't even think about including magical artifacts or beings made of magic until a month or so ago. everything could've been so much cooler this whole time lol

Spillways by Ghost is such a Jason Todd song.

yknow. if i had a nickel for every time i had a huge crush on someone, never did anything about it, then reconnected with them several years later only to be told that they Also Had Feelings For Me or Currently Have Feelings For Me, except because of the time distance or other factors i/we cant/wont do anything about it and then i pretty much never see them again, id have two nickels. which isnt a lot, but it sure did happen twice.

Y'know what, yet another de-aged Danny idea where he falls into another world. But Clockwork sends Fright Knight to go watch over him to stop something bad from happening. The heroes of said world were not prepared, at all.

“A cold and friendless tide has found you -- Don't let the stormy darkness pull you down. I'll paint a ray of hope around you, Circling in the air -- lighted by a prayer...” ~“Candle on the Water” from Pete’s Dragon

Hi guys! So the recent Hogsmeade Festival quest surprisingly did spark a little bit of inspiration in me...namely, to give a little bit of love to our favorite Three Broomsticks owner, Madam Rosmerta! So I decided to do this drawing of her coming around to show my boy Jacob Cromwell some kindness and bring him a warm mug of Butterbeer. 

“Here. I’ve been trying this new caffeinated brew that’s got a shot of unsweetened cocoa powder mixed in. Reckon if there’s anyone who’d appreciate it, it’d be you.”

We learn canonically in year 5 that Madam Rosmerta felt warmly enough toward Jacob that she actually gave him a safe place to stay when the Ministry came looking for him post-expulsion. And yeah, the same was true for Rosmerta with Jacob Cromwell. In my headcanon, Rosmerta first became a barmaid at the Three Broomsticks while the Marauders were still at school, which made it so she was about nine years older than Jacob -- exactly the same age gap Jacob originally shared with Carewyn, prior to getting trapped in the Portrait Vault. Therefore Rosmerta ended up developing something of an “older sister” relationship with Jacob, who she initially found to be an incredibly curious and bright kid with a brand of infectious enthusiasm that was all his own. 

Over time, though, Rosmerta saw how much the Cursed Vaults and R’s influence was weighing on Jacob, at least from afar, since he wouldn’t confide in her the extent of everything going on. But from what she was gathered in passing -- hearing that his best friend Olivia had gone missing, learning that Jacob’s owl had died after carrying a Howler that went off prematurely...seeing how pale, exhausted, and gaunt this usually bright-eyed, energetic teenager had become, in his fifth and sixth years...Rosmerta gathered Jacob wasn’t doing so well. And then when he was expelled mysteriously by Dumbledore and rumors started swirling about him being involved in Knockturn Alley, Rosmerta stuck by Jacob and offered him lodging. 

One night, however, Jacob left his room and never resurfaced again. It wasn’t until many years later than Rosmerta learned why that was. And when Jacob did actually resurface at the Three Broomsticks again after being stuck in a Portrait for seven years, looking just the same as he did when she last saw him, Rosmerta -- now a full sixteen years older than the boy standing before her -- embraced him in relief, just glad to see that he was safe. She even invited him to stay at the Three Broomsticks again, until he’d finished studying for his NEWTs and found some way to support himself financially. Jacob accepted, but only after taking on some work part-time as a bartender mixing drinks, so as to earn some money to pay for his room and board. 

Once Jacob got all of his NEWTs and was able to enter the Wizarding World properly as a free man with a clean record, he remained in touch with Madam Rosmerta through Owl Post and even popped into the Three Broomsticks for a visit now and again, to visit his old friend. One such visit was right after Dumbledore’s death, upon hearing that Madam Rosmerta had been placed under the Imperius Curse by Draco Malfoy and thus unwittingly had helped the Death Eaters for nearly an entire school year. That occasion was one of the first times that Jacob actually ended up counseling Rosmerta, rather than the other way around --

“I know what it’s like...being forced to do things you’d never do, if you had a choice. It’s bogue. Totally bogue, worse than bogue. It’s violating and dehumanizing and...well, wrong. Everything about it feels wrong, you feel wrong. And it feels that way for a long while after, even when people say it wasn’t your fault and you’re not that person and they don’t blame you for it. ...But y’know...it does get better. It does get easier to look at yourself in the mirror and not just see the harm you caused. It does. ...I promise it does.”

In that moment, Rosmerta was actually left pleasantly surprised, to see just how wise this book-smart, people-dumb spaceman had become.
