#did this for catgirl stephanie the most :)

[jasontoddssuper]

Here's my take,hope you enjoy

[punkeropercyjackson]

See the thing is i don't hate comparisons between Tim Drake and Percy Jackson because i'm a Tim anti or think they wouldn't get along,i KNOW they'd be besties but not for the reasons everyone thinks-Yes,Tim's a skater boy who loves running his mouth and has ego problems and VERY bad self-care habits and trouble being intentionally nice and has to deal with high school drama VS unhinged ass world saving bussiness and is scrawny and wet cat looking(affectionate).And i hate to tell you this but only one of those things is canon for Percy and it's the snark and even then they're not the same brand

Percy is poor(Tim's rich),is a swimmer,believes she's unworthy of the good things she gets and deserving of the bad ones and more,is very naturally sweet thanks to Sally's upbringing,didn't really have any consistent connection between her demigod life and what happened at school when she went to it,is a mom friend who's more put-together than most demigods by a fair shot and is canonically 6' and well-built and if she's any kind cat looking it's the transfem catgirl kind(no i will not elaborate,just know i'm right).Additionally,Tim's grunge goth and Percy dosen't dress punk because Rick's a coward but if she did she'd be pastel punk

What i'm saying is:Tim and Percy wouldn't 'bros who share a braincell'.They'd be chaos instigators and a found older sister/younger brother duo and Tim would take an instant (platonic)liking to Percy because she's so much like Stephanie and Percy'd force this poor kid into sleeping normally and rbf him into eating healthy and they'd play video games and go on missions and do meme challenges together and and she'd cure his touch starvedness with her latina swag and Tim'd always have her back when her hero status got doubted and do his best to return Percy's care of him and the poor girl literally wouldn't know how to respond because Nico and Hazel were too young to do it back but love every second of it.Also Tim lies to Bruce about needing money for mission stuff to buy her gifts and Percy paints his nails in super femme styles and they do eachother's hair and watch old cartoons and learn to do dances and make traditional recipes and other black sibling bonding activities and she's an additional Super to his Bat like Kon but that last part goes without saying

______________

Damian doesn’t have a birthday because I’m still unsure if Talia put the stolen sperm in an artificial womb or actually did it herself. Also some characters you may not know but I find them relevant. And I might not have got every single one either. The future part though is a lot less concrete, mostly cause neither gives full dates. The Dark Knight gives ages but not years and Beyond gives dates but not ages.

----------------------------------------------

Breaking things down a bit - The inner fam ;

Dick, Jason, Tim, Cassandra, Harper & Cullen, and Maya have all been officially adopted by Bruce in this universe

More or less in that exact order.

They’ve all kept their respective last names, but will occasionally hyphenate and tack on ‘Wayne’ to the ends of them.

Maya was brought home one day by Damian, who insisted Bruce take her on as a ward. Bruce was more than happy to oblige, tho noting how close of a bond the two children already had (and how they were already referring to one another as ‘brother’ & ‘sister’), he decided to just adopted her.

Barbara and Stephanie are not adopted

Steph is however a ward.

Bruce did ask to adopt her but she feels that it would be too weird for her to be legally adopted, since her and Tim are dating. ---She is however, considered by most of the family (in particular Harper, Cullen, & Cassandra), to be an ‘honorary sibling’.

Barbara’s father is still very much alive, altho Gordon and Bruce often joke about shared custody. (Also Babs agrees with Steph in that it would make dating Dick awkward)

Bruce still thinks of them like his own, and they’re considered as a core part of the family by everyone else.

Both also have their own respective rooms at the manor. Steph because she lives there, and Babs because she visits so often.

Claire is more or less an unofficial ward of Bruce’s.

In this verse he took her in after the death of her brother, and has been helping her to get the help she needs to recover; she’s been healing slowly but surely.

She’s formed a close bond with Duke.

She’s been getting training so that she feels less inclined to use her powers and won’t shave any more years off her lifespan.

Duke and Colin, while not officially adopted by Bruce, are his wards

Duke’s parents are still alive (though Jokerized), in light of this Bruce has offered to adopt him, but Duke politely declined. The offer remains open should he ever change his mind, however.

Colin similarly has been made an offer to be adopted, but turned it down for unspecified reasons. (ie; I haven’t decided yet if I want to go the ‘Tiny Boyfriends’ route w/ Dami&Colin in this AU, so I’m holding off on making them adopted siblings)

Helena, Damian, and Athanasia are all biologically Bruce’s children

Helena is from the future (or at least a possible future) in which Bruce and Selina have a child together. She refuses to tell them what year she’s actually from, or reveal much about her timeline.

Damian is Bruce’s son by Talia. He came to live with Bruce when he was 10.

Athanasia is Bruce’s daughter by Talia, although she was more ‘created’ than ‘conceived’ (ie, very much like those spare clone babies Talia had floating that she showed to Damian in the comics).

For clarification, she isn’t a female-clone of Damian. Talia used a sample of her own DNA and a sample of Bruce’s to create a new embryo.

When Damian was sent off to join his father, Talia had Athanasia born; aged up to ten years old to match her brother. She kept her a secret, hidden from Bruce and Damian, training her in the ways of the league for the next three years, before having a change of heart and sending her daughter to meet her brother and father.

Terry, Matt, Nissa, and Max are all from a future timeline that was wiped from existence somehow, they managed to time travel back to the past to survive.

Terry and Matt are (because of genetic tampering done by Waller) biologically Bruce’s sons. Terry is aware of this information. Matt is not.

Since they didn’t arrive with them, Terry and Matt believed Nissa & Max had died. However it turned out that their device had been damaged somehow, causing the timing of their arrival to be off by a year.

Breaking things down further - The extended fam ;

Kate and Beth are identical twin sisters, and are Bruce’s cousins.

In this verse Beth recovers from her ‘Alice’ persona and adopts the mantle of ‘Brightbat’, working alongside Kate as a vigilante.

Bette is the youngest cousin of Kate, Beth, and Bruce.

Jean-Paul isn’t related to anyone, nor is he adopted by, or a ward of Bruce.

He does however work closely with the family, and is considered an extended part of it. He’s like an honorary cousin more or less.

Luke also isn’t related to anyone, but works closely with the batfamily, earning him a spot as an honorary member, even if he's not a part of the core family.

Tiffany is Luke's youngest sister.

She's taken to training with and helping him out on the field. Don't call her his sidekick though, she hates that.

Helena B. has close ties to the batfamily, although she isn’t part of the core family, she is always welcomed by them, and in turn will always aid them when they need it.

She’s particularly close w/ both Barbara & Dick, as well as Cass. She also gets along well with Jason.

Mary isn’t officially integrated as a part of the core family, but she does live with them, having been brought to the manor to live by Babs, who she has grown close to.

She appears to be around 19 years old, in actuality she is much older. Because of the process she underwent when being made into a Talon, she doesn’t age physically.

She was taught sign language from Cassandra, although she still prefers writing as a means of communication.

While Babs fills the role as an older sister type figure for her, Mary seems to have latched on to Secret Six team-member Thomas Blake as something of a (reluctant) paternal figure.

Charlie isn’t exactly a full fledged part of the Batfam, so much as Babs has taken her under her wing and started to mentor her.

She lives with Barbara, and is generally introduced as her cousin.

Carrie is Barbara’s second cousin on her mother’s side, who randomly showed up on her door one way after finding out she had a relative in Gotham.

Eventually she discovered Babs was Batgirl and pleaded for her to mentor her.

Basil has gone from a former Gotham rogue, to a redeemed and trusted member of the batfamily.

He's particularly close to Cassandra, and has become somewhat of a second father figure to her.

Selina really is on the family friend/extended family cusp, with Helena’s arrival edging her a bit closer to the latter. --She’s not quite a part of the core family, but with a daughter from a potential future timeline showing up her dynamic definitely changes.

Her and Bruce have, as you can expect, had a thing. They have in fact, had several things. They’re very on-and-off.

When they’re 'on’ their relationship is sometimes left open (bc y’all kno I’m all about that poly)

Selina being the alleged long-lost daughter of Carmine Falcone is canon in this verse.

Kitrina isn’t quite a part of the batfamily on her own, however as Selina’s protege she’ll make appearances here and there during times of need at her mentors side.

Kitrina is Selina’s niece (unbeknownst to her, tho Selina knows.)

Maps is one of Damian’s very best friends, and has taken full advantage of that to worm her way into the (at least somewhat) inner bat circle.

She’s is --as Damian keeps reminding her -- a vigilante in training and is always asking him to mentor her so she can join in when he goes on patrols. She's even volunteered to be the Robin's sidekick.

Breaking things down even more - The outer fam;

M is for lack of better explanation, like that close family friend you have who is sort of like the cool/fun Uncle. He helps out here and there, gets along w/ most of the fam, and pops into the manor uninvited every now & then to get a rise out of Bruce.

Gets along well with Dick and Jason. (Tends to team up with the latter to tease the former)

Cullen seems to have taken a real shine to him, and has asked if M would mentor him since starting to consider becoming a vigilante. (M however is unsure he's the right fit as a mentor for the kid, since his crime fighting methods tend to be a bit brutal)

He’s not married to Apollo in this verse, though they do have an on-again-off-again type relationship (so I can occasionally hook him up with other people w/o leading to drama).

Zatanna also falls into the category of close family friend.

Her and Bruce have been friends since childhood, making her one of his oldest and closest friends.

Also her and Bruce have had a thing once upon a time. (There might still be some feelings on both sides, I’m keeping options open here...)

Violet isn’t part of the core batfamily, and she doesn’t work quite closely enough with them to be considered part of the extended fam either, but in this verse she’s close friends with (and maybe dating) Harper. which has lead to her working a bit more frequently with the bats than she usually would otherwise.

Calvin is an ally of the Batfam & comes to help them when called upon.

He gets along really well w/ Dick. Circus boys gotta stick together! ...No really, they've got like a whole act worked out together.

Tatsu is another close friend and trusted ally of the bats. Though she doesn't work often with them under normal circumstances as she usually has her own things going on, when they're in a real pinch they can call on her, knowing she'll answer.

Lonnie's position within the batfamily is...complicated, as he doesn't always see eye to eye with some of them.

Despite not always getting along (with Bruce in particular), he does help out the family from time to time when they have need for him, and has admitted that he prefers being friend over foe.

Gets along best with Stephanie and Harper.

Had somewhat of a rivalry with Tim when they were kids. They're both (mostly) over it now.

Sort of awkward around Jason since it's highly possible Lonnie's biological father is the Joker... in this verse it totally is canon

Whatever is left to break down ;

Lincoln - aka Thomas Wayne Jr - Bruce’s younger brother that he was unaware most of his life that he even had.

(I’ve not really decided what to do with him yet, he’s only been fleshed out in this verse far enough for me to have decided that he definitely exists here, his backstory will mostly follow comic canon but after that I don’t know yet)

Thomas is Bruce (and Lincoln)’s father from an alternate timeline where he didn’t die (so, again, also not a huge divergence from comic canon, except this one isn’t an asshole who tries to ruin his son’s life and break his spirit whilst claiming it’s to help him...)

(I haven’t decided yet what to do with him. Do I want him to also be Batman?? Do I want him to have retired??? We’ll see... He, much like Lincoln in this verse, hasn’t been fleshed out beyond ‘he exists’, yet.)

What if catwoman and batman swapped roles? With Bruce raising the robins to be thieves but he doesn’t force them to do the crimes with him. And selina raises the female bat kids as cat girls. Selina also raises starfire too after rescuing her from the citadel when she crashlanded.

Also includes this prompt:

So can we have an au where catwoman is a heroine while Batman is the burglar? With them both still having a decent relationship - @mostie01

Selina surveyed the newest member of their small team critically. Starfire, as the girl with the ginger locks calls herself, was a skilled fighter though Selina needed to make sure that she learned to trust her own skills more than the special powers she possessed. The powers were good and well and very useful, but she needed to trust herself first, then they could move to controlling her special abilities. Besides, Selina did not want her two girls, Barbara Gordon, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelley, to get hurt. Once they had trained enough, they might be able to face those abilities that needed to be observed and cataloged first. 

Now she just had to find a way to keep her little Catgirls away from Batman’s Robins. Not that she and Bruce where a good role model for them. Speaking of her lover, she wondered what he was doing…

“Too loud,” bellowed the man clad in black suit from his position high above the ground. Selina would say that he was too strict with the Robins, but he needed to train them to the best of their abilities. Everything else was not acceptable.

They needed to be able to defend themselves, he needed to know that they were safe AND he had to be absolutely sure that they never lost the right path. So right path was a word that was hard to define. Some would say that stealing and thieving was wrong. But they were stealing for a purpose. They took from those, who had too much, to give it the poor and those, who needed it the most. It was one of the reasons, why the first Robin had called himself Robin. It was a homage to Robin Hood, the outlaw hero. 

“No Dick, not like this,” Bruce sighed. “Do it again, just slower. And Damien, you forgot the surveillance system. It this were real, you would have been spotted and have at least a dozen guard at your back.”

“I would knock them all out,” said the boy proudly. Despite the dire situation, Bruce had to smile slightly.

“Please, you cannot even beat Jason,” teased Tim, who was lounging nearby, waiting for his turn. Damien turned to him and sent him a rude gesture.

“Damien,” scolded Bruce, though it was only half-hearted. As long as the boy understood each other, without breaking into fist fights, then all was still well.

Almost all was well. He still had to come up with a solution to somehow separate his boys from Selina’s girls. Speaking of which, he wondered what the female Cat was currently doing…

Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns DLC Localization Blog #1

Howdy, everybody!

We’ve been busy with E3 here at XSEED, but don’t think for one second that we’ve forgotten about the Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns patch and DLC. We’ve been working on it for several months now, and I’m happy to say that it’s close to completion.

First, let me give you some general information about the patch/DLC, and the effort necessary to localize all of it.

The Japanese patch contents, released in four updates over six months, contained about 210,000 Japanese characters. While this is around a tenth of the total game text, it was still no mean feat to localize, as we anticipated when discussing it in a blog several months ago. We were lucky to have one of the translators who worked on the game back, and I filled in on about a third of the text myself. Our editors were Danielle--by now a veteran of the series--and Nick, who was the project lead on the first Story of Seasons and is a master of puns. Given this, I assigned Nick most of the text for new marriage candidates Woofio and Stephanie, and he did a really bang-up job. He kept a running list of scribbled dog puns while working on Woofio’s text, and as the frowny face indicates, sometimes things got a little ruff.

Look for these in the DLC!

In Japanese, Woofio’s doggerel is mostly expressed with the sentence ending “-wan,” which is the sound that dogs make in Japanese. His Japanese name—Wantatan—even uses it. This is similar to how cats and catgirls use “-nyan.” Woofio’s Japanese dialogue does contain some animal puns and references, but the brunt of the work of characterizing him as doglike is done through the almost constant use of this “-wan” grammar. Because English doesn’t have a similar structure, we had to get a bit cleverer (and by that I mean dumber) for our text. That said, we were careful not to overdo it, as that wouldn’t have been true to the spirit of the text either. I don’t know about Nick and Danielle, but I had a lot of fun localizing the DLC.

Having fun with a rejected eShop icon.

The two new characters are additions worthy of being listed among the series’ strange lineup of secret marriage candidates, but there’s also a lot of content included for those with no interest in fursuing Woofio or Stephanie. There are several events for those who have already gotten married or built great relationships with the three towns, including a post-wedding visit from your family. From what I’ve seen online, players seem to either love or hate Daryl, but I think it’s fun to watch how he interacts with your spouse. And, of course, your spouse’s reactions are very cute too.

Daryl, your serious dad, meets your husband, the guy in the dog suit.

There is also an event where you host a little party for the bachelors (if you’re playing as a male MC) or bachelorettes (female MC). In this event, the variety of dialogue you’ve come to expect from this game is on display, as the characters make comments on whichever interior design you’ve chosen for your house. The DLC also features a lot of new dialogue for each marriage candidate, as well as some new costumes. As you might have heard, you can also now have a child with Inari, the secret marriage candidate. The patch/DLC will also be applied to your current save data, so you won’t have to start a new game for this to happen if you’re already married to Inari.

If you couldn’t guess, Stephanie’s favorite color is pink.

You’ll have to wait a bit longer for a breakdown of the exact details of the patch/DLC (including price and release date…sorry), but the free patch will include some bug fixes, typo fixes, and a new menu that will let you purchase the DLC from the eShop. One of the bug fixes is the Ludus Beverage Bash progress stopper. This was the first thing I confirmed when we received our first version of the patch data. We’ve also fixed the bug that won’t let players designate a furmiliar from the 7th spot or lower on their pet list. For typos, we’ve been able to fix the major issues—the seasonal suns being mislabeled in the cellar, the repeating dialogue in a few events—as well as some other issues that players have pointed out. A lot of these fixes are thanks to your feedback over the past few months.

As far as Woofio puns go, this one is pretty tame.

The free patch will also include text from the Japanese patches that we consider to be “fixes” rather than added content, such as tutorial text listing out the contents of each ingredient group used in recipes, and a warning from the part-time job recruiters to pick up delivery orders before the shop closes.

Reaction to Trio of Towns in North America has been really wonderful so far. I think that’s a testament to how much the game both refined the series’ mechanics and included a level of character detail that was previously unseen. I’m excited for the patch and the DLC to improve the experience for players even further. Stay tuned for more updates.
