Prompt 333
I once more believe Battinson Batman needs to be given a child. Or multiple. Multiple children. I am also once more rotating Ghosts Have Wings Au.
So Batman, still early in his whole vigilante career ends up busting a shipment, nothing too surprising there. Pretty usual honestly. Except for what was in one of the crates already open. Because it looks like some sort of gemstones but… perfectly spherical. Strange. Suspicious.
But it’s also late, er, early in the morning, and the GCPD is notoriously corrupt, so like, he’s not going to just leave the weird gemstones, each about the size of a plum or so. (Dear Gotham he’s apparently hungry, and might inwardly vow to never let anyone realize what his tired mind decided to use as measurement)
So he, unknowingly spurred on by more than just a slight bit of ecto contamination, takes the strange spheres back home. Just puts them in his pockets and heads back to the manor that they moved back into after the whole Riddler mess. (He even found a cool cave! With a bunch of terrifying bats, but they made a glass separator! For safety!)
But in Bruce’s defense of forgetting about them, he’s more than a little tired and hungry and just wants to sleep for a bit, y’know? So maybe he forgets about the gems as he falls asleep in the chair in the cave (Alfred was not pleased!) until he starts digging around for them. Erm. Did they fall out somewhere?? There’s no holes in his belt pockets…
And maybe these sort of things shouldn’t slip his mind, the spheres had felt Weird with a capital W, but he gets forced to a circus and there’s an… accident. So maybe he pushed it away as not important because there’s now an angry grieving eight-year old living with him and he’s panickedly reading any and all sort of parenting books he can get a hold of because he has no clue what he’s doing.
Yeah, maybe his back is itching like crazy no matter what he tries, and maybe he threw up the other day, but it’s fine. This is fine.
….
Oh dear Gotham those are feathers, this is not fine- ALFREEED!
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#Ghosts Have Wings#The difference between ecto contaminated & Liminal is liminals form Cores#Bruce (forming a core thanks to literally carrying cores) is now sprouting his own wings#Dick is ecstatic really because Holy Guacamole! Wings! Will he get wings?!#(He does indeed get wings from all the ecto Bruce begins to give off)#Does this count as mpreg? Bruce isn’t even aware poor dude lol#Bruce’s wings are practically Black 4.0 and trail flickers of shadow & flecks of metal like Gotham’s darkness has come alive#Dick’s start like a normal robin bird’s but shift into something akin to the night sky & a burst of glitter at the back#As his core develops from a baby to a proper storm core#His wings light up if hit with electricity & he adores the extra intimidation it gives him#Fuck it let Bruce get Jason early (catches the tire iron without fully registering because Liminal instincts are Screaming#To take this tiny ass ecto-contaminated orphan back home & bundle them up in feathers & blankets#The dad instincts are hitting this early twenty-something year old Hard#He might’ve nearly stolen tiny child Tim at one point (Tim came over because the power was out & nanny was late from an attack)#Leslie (tired): Congrats it’s quadruplets#Bruce: Wut#cryptid batman#cryptid batfam#they deserve it#as a treat#Tumblr don't delete my tags challenge

Mmmmm
"Losing My Religion" by R.E.M.
A Steddie break-up fic where Steve, hopeless romantic Steve, is in a whirlwind romance with Eddie. And Eddie who finally gets his big break and plans to leave Hawkins in the rear view. It starts slowly, just little things Steve doesn't take to heart: Eddie getting distracted in the middle of a cuddle session or a kiss or even sex, Eddie pulling away quicker (but he's still loving on Steve so he doesn't really care), maybe cancelling more on their date nights or claiming that he's got plans already made with the Corroded Coffin boys.
And then the space between them just gets bigger and bigger and bigger, and Steve is left behind in the dust. Abandoned again. He's always looking to Eddie, but Eddie's not looking back. They're arguing more. There's a knot, a strain weighing on their relationship.
When Steve begins to pull back, Eddie barely puts in the effort to keep him tethered. And Steve, gullible and hopeless romantic Steve, lets Eddie get away with it. Because any attention is better than none. Even if he's going to bed alone every night, waking up to a going cold space beside him. Even if he's biting his fist during an argument, saving the tears for a quick shower. Even if he has to choke back on his emotions, because any big outbursts he thinks will push Eddie further away. Will spiral them out farther.
But then Eddie just abruptly leaves. Leaves their life, their friends, Hawkins as a whole. And Steve has to get his number through Wayne, who thought the boys were still together.
And it's not until Eddie answers with a, "Hello? Oh—hold on, babe, somebody's on the phone," that Steve finally puts two and two together. They aren't even dating anymore. He hangs up before say anything.
Eddie's left with the distant sound of somebody breathing on the other side and the dial tone. Never to hear from Steve again.
...anyway!
#stranger things#steddie#steve harrington#eddie munson#angst#break up fic idea#I don't know if this would be an unhappy ending though if I wrote it...I don't think I can do that to my babies#I think they wouldn't talk to each other for a very very very long time. Like more than fifteen years worth of time.#But maybe Steve follows Robin out to California. Something about college and queer scenes or whatever#And he's in a queer bar with Robin#except she's abandoned him for the night to mack it with a girl in the corner of the club#he's tumbling outside to have a smoke. except he turns the corner out the door and bumps into somebody.#somebody who is a very very very healthy and attractive and obviously happy eddie. also having a smoke#and steve lets eddie light up their cigarettes#and they stand next to each other in mutual silence#steve is there contemplating them as a whole#until he promptly bursts into tears. still trying to stifle the way he used to when they were together#and all eddie can do is offer up his bandana. offer to wipe his cheeks#and it sends steve spiraling because eddie is still so sweet and gentle. even if they're total strangers now. even if they're fucked over#and then steve makes a dumb decision to get tipsy with eddie and they go back to eddie's and do y'know what#and he wakes up the next morning completely nude in eddie's bed. next to eddie who's got reading glasses on and reading#something completely domestic and warm#and steve decides he's had enough and asks if they could talk. if they could hash it all out. and that he'd leave afterwards if it's all ba#and eddie immediately is ready to listen. because he knows he deserves whatever steve has to say to him.#somehow it ends with the both of them crying. eddie profusely apologizing. yada yada yada#kiss kiss fall in love 2.0

What I say: hahaha free Rincewind from The Plot he doesn’t want to be here give him a break!!
What I mean: you don’t uNDERSTAND he has a SENTIENT ELDRITCH SPELL IN HIS HEAD AND IT IS POSSESSING HIM A LITTLE BIT. a Nd the point is that what the octavo TOOK FROM HIM wasn’t talent, it was the ability to try at all, even badly!!!!!!! and that’s WORSE!!!!!! that’s worse!!!!!! you see how that’s worse!!!!!!!! It’s noT ABOUT whether Rincewind would ever have been good at magic, it’s about the fact that something CHOSE HIM and now he never gets to find out for himself who he could’ve been without it!!!!!! he doesn’t GET to try he doesn’t GET to learn!!!!!!!!! He doesn’t get to find out!!!!!!! That’s the point that’s the point there is a sentient eldritch spellbook and it is Speaking To Him Inside His Brain and because it decided it wanted Rincewind, there’s an entire person Rincewind COULD HAVE BEEN THAT HE JUST DOESN’T EVER GET TO LEARN ABOUT. And that’s WORSE than if it had just taken talent in general, but it‘s especially worse for RINCEWIND, who Isn’t a wizard because he’s good at it, but because he wanted to try!!!! He wanted to learn!!!!!!!! And now that isn’t an option at all and it TOOK that from him!!!!!! And it’s even possessing him a little and his first instinct was to sass it for not being able remember how the universe began. everytime i think about him for 0.2 seconds i need to scream, throw up, hurl myself through the nearest wall, and possibly die of consumption. Roughly In That Order.
#PLEASE KNOW I AM NEW HERE I HAVE MADE THIS POST WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. YELLS.#I HAVE ABOUT 100 PAGES TO GO ON THE LIGHT FANTASTIC AND IM#LOSING MY MIND#GUYS I MIGHT LOVE THE SHITTY WIZARD#IM#JUST#INSANE!!?????????#HOW DO YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT RINCEWIND’S WHOLE SPEECH TO THE OCTAVO AND NOT BURST INTO TEARS AND LIE ON THE FLOOR CATATONIC#SOMETHING!!!!!! CHOSE HIM!!!!!!!!!#AND HE HAS TO JUST LIVE WITH NEVER KNOWING THE PERSON HE WAS GOING TO BE WITHOUT IT!!!!!!!#HELP ME I NEED TO BE SEDATED I NEED TO LIE DOWN#the paranoid android speaks!#discworld

More than just the Demon.
#ffxiv#digital art#zenos yae galvus#venat#endwalker spoilers#will forever be fascinated with this man#look guys look- the literal embodiment of wol's wings of hope LOL (and me going hehe about that and footfalls)#the part of me that adores digging into the nuance of character writing (intentional or otherwise) is just latched onto zenos#and venat-- they cant just give us two characters who get really important 1v1 duels#and ask really important questions#and love the MC and are willing to risk themselves so unconditionally#and have them not live rent free in my brain#--and maybe this tiptoes into the realm of crack theory so beware there will be a lot past here--#but I cant help but think zenos is akin to an oracle or warrior of light but was tempered/corrupted by zodiark#or some strange happenstance of varis (who shares visual traits to golbez before 6.0 ever came out and the dark mana burst)#and carosa (who it seems zenos got his looks from- and he already looks like he has ties to venat and argos like minfillia does)#was he a result of the eternal chess match between the two parties' machinations? or just some strange twist of fate?#another day of him being “emet's successful experiment” (again- intentional or no) making me thonk#theres something so strange about the final days dreams and how dark aspected he is- that his void abilities are more tied to him tbh#yet his mannerisms beyond just what he's been through almost reminds me of light corruption and the uncanny calmness#we see in most beings associated with the light in any significant way and like second phase eden shiva#he almost has all the marks of someone who shouldve already had the echo or blessing of light but for one reason or another#was unable to hear hydaelyns call#of course it doesnt help i mentally associate him with connections to zero and how she was corrupted before she was even born#and durante- who states uncanny ability and connection with light and darkness and yet favors dark magic more#i simply live with the idea that zenos' soul was an eternally faithful companion to wol's and#this time the cardinal sin of separating the pair finally happened to rather dire consequences lmao

my hyperfixation reignited with the chapter today ahaha
[ID: A marker drawing of Olruggio from Witch Hat Atelier. He has a distressed expression and is drawing a spell that is emitting fiery light. A large number of "curtain leeches" are closing in on him behind him. END ID]
#witch hat atelier#tongari boushi no atelier#tbna#olruggio#arthur art#im so happy with how that lighting came out oo my god#there is a touch of digital to add a 'burst' texture but nothing else needed touch up for once

SHERLOCK | Martin Freeman as John Watson
#inspiration for creating gifs was the wonderful @meandhisjohn#he emerged from the mist like a ghost with sadness etched on his face like the imprint of a recent storm#In his eyes a shadow of despair lingered but at the same time an unrelenting thirst for life beat in his heart#the world around him seemed empty a lifeless canvas devoid of color and sound#his brown jacket rough and worn a symbol of the storm raging within his soul gave him a harsh yet captivating appearance#and at that momen like a beacon of light in utter darkness he met him#their gazes met and the world around them burst into vibrant hues#as if a painter inspired by a divine muse had poured his palette onto the canvas#john lost in the abyss of despair suddenly found purpose meaning in his existence#he was like a ship tossed about in a tempest finding sanctuary and calm in a harbor#their encounter became a turning point illuminating his life with a gentle light comparable to the first rays of dawn#breaking through the darkness of night#love immense and unfathomable enveloped their hearts forging them into one#It was like a magical elixir awakening forgotten feelings and dreams#martin freeman#mf/serial#bbc sherlock#john watson#sherlock#sherlock bbc#benedict cumberbatch#pilot
