got a lil silly and made some content for me and @arcadegl1tch crossover au, Dissonance

[anriwritess]

The body had long grown cold when he found it.  

Battle worn hands trembled as he gingerly picked his daughter up, pulling her into his embrace. 

“Agnes” 

The body remained still. 

“Child” 

Her red eyes, always tinged with mischievousness when he called her so, remained shut. 

“My lioness” 

‘Ha! What lioness? I’m a dragon!’ 

“Didn’t you say you wanted to see the beach on your next birthday..”

Drip

Tears trickled down his cheek. Raphael barely felt anything. His heart had long since grown numb. 

“... It’s all father’s fault that he took so long.”

Drip

One drop fell on Agnes’ forehead, then another and another…

“Isn’t it pitiful that you had such a foolish father, Agnes?” 

Raphael gently carded his fingers through her coarse hair, just like he had done a thousand times ago. The lustrous hair had lost all its sheen, just like its owner. 

Like a candle that had been snuffed out. 

“Would you still be here if I hadn’t left..ha.” 

His voice cracked. Red eyes continued staring at the wall, unable to look at his child’s face. Unable to see her pallid face, so devoid of life, of arrogance, of joy..of everything that made her Agnes. 

“Your father doesn’t deserve to ask for forgiveness anymore.”

‘But I would always forgive father,’ Agnes fake sniffed, ‘as long as you buy me ten chicken skewers hahaha! And don’t say it's unhygienic! ’

“.... I’ll become the greatest swordmast..”

“Papa! You lost!”

Lost…indeed he did. He lost everything. In the span of a few days, his world flipped over completely.  

Everything slipped through his fingers as if it was nothing but sand. His wife, his children, his family..

What was the point of being the duke when he couldn’t even save his family? What was the point of a kingdom he sacrificed so much for when it took away all that he held dear? 

“Agnes…” 

Raphael’s lips curled upwards, insanity bleeding into his eyes. 

“..you’ve always said your father was a crazy bastard..” 

Hands holding Agnes tightened, pulling her even closer, afraid that she would disappear if he let her out of his arms for even a second. 

“Isn’t it time,” Raphael’s eyes glowed with unsuppressed bloodlust, “for the world to see what happens when you take the leash off a crazy bastard and let him run wild?”

my timelines as moon - the extremely condensed version.

cw for... child abuse i guess, and mentions of torture, death, and genocide under the cut.

alright. i feel a little self conscious making this post at all, but feel that i should have at least an overview of who i actually was on my blog.

so, when i talk about my timelines, i generally talk about the "first" and "second" timelines. they're named like that because i originally thought there was just one, then realized certain memories contradicted each other, and eventually figured out they were two timelines that just happened to be canon divergent in very similar ways. i kept the names for organizational purposes, but i actually feel a lot more connected to the second timeline... maybe in part because i know so much more about it.

i can sum up the first timeline pretty quickly, honestly. i was born in the rainforest, but within a few weeks, maybe months, mom and i were found and brought back to the volcano. my mind reading was obvious at that age, and, nightwings being nightwings, immediately conceptualized as a tool for others. i got to settle in a bit, although i was never treated like the other dragonets, but by the time i turned one i was being trained to be... basically a living lie detector and intimidation tool. i was used a lot in interrogations, eventually sometimes in torture, but it was really hard for them to get me to go along with that for... obvious reasons. i didn't really have friends, but i got along with deathbringer even though we both kind of creeped each other out because of our jobs. (he was a lot closer to my age than in canon (in both timelines), and would sometimes have to spend pretty long periods of time on the volcano, i'm not sure why.)

i pretty much stayed away from the rainwings being held on the volcano, but i had to go down there at some point, i don't even remember why, they needed some kind of information out of one of the rainwings and were feeling jumpy and didn't want to risk getting venomed i guess. i met kinkajou, she was nicer to me than literally any dragonet my age had ever been despite the fact that she'd have had every right to want me dead, and i spent literally the entire rest of my life following her around like a very traumatized duckling.

as far as i can tell, i spent my entire life in the rainforest after the volcano erupted. the time period right before the eruption is super hard to remember because i was having visions or nightmares pretty much 24/7 due to the impending eruption, and there's a lot of uncertainty over exactly what went down - i think i helped with one of the rainwing escapes, but i have no details, just sort of blurs of feelings and stuff. i can't rule out that i ended up attending jade mountain academy, but i really don't think i did - i sort of remember teaching kinkajou to read ? and sometimes i get flashes of young adulthood, almost all of which are set in the rainforest.

my second timeline is easier to chart, but harder to sum up, because i remember so much more. i was born in the rainforest and spent more like a year there before mom and i were caught, so long enough to have figured out that i had foresight, and how to hide it and my mind reading. however, i was also very young and very scared and made the very stupid decision to reveal both powers when we were found because i thought it would keep both of us safer. which, i mean, i don't know, maybe it did. there was a very real risk of them killing both of us for a minute there. really not worth it, though.

since i wasn't a literal baby at this point, i was pretty much immediately put into use as a tool in mostly the same ways from the first timeline. i got a few more privileges, but i was also a lot more hated than in the first timeline (i actually had a scar from being woken up with a knife once when i was forced to sleep with the other dragonets, which was mostly done to punish me but also served to punish everybody else) and subsequently became way more of a bitch. i hung out with deathbringer in this timeline, too, and i actually remember going to him a few times when i needed to lay low in adulthood.

it seems like if i met kinkajou in this timeline it must have been off the volcano, but frankly i'm not 100% sure she was ever on it in the first place. (i think there might not have been many rainwings brought to the volcano at all, if any, because we knew how limited our time was? i'm still figuring this part out.) i don't remember much from the months leading up to the eruption because i was having an even worse time with my visions in this timeline. (it seems like this might be connected to the clearsight thing, because as far as i can tell that was mostly in the second timeline. i know i had much more debilitating visions in the second, and haven't found any evidence of, i don't know, tampering ? in memories of the first.)

i didn't go to jade mountain academy as a student, but at some point i was within range and heard darkstalker. most details of the whole debacle are fuzzy at best, but i know i was responsible for releasing him and partially responsible for killing him, alongside some portion of the jade winglet, but i can't really confirm much else from that period of time. (the details of the functional immortality spells were a little different from canon, thus my use of the word killing. no peacemaker, just a body.) i know i ended up going back to the rainforest after.

originally my powers were technically supposed to be secret, but all the nightwings knew so most of the rainwings knew, and then a lot of the icewing nobility suspected because after all that i started being brought to certain diplomatic events of all things while political relations were really dicey, i guess because glory was hoping i'd let her know if someone was planning to kill her, which i guess i probably would have but i don't think she even ever outright acknowledged what i could do. (i don't even remember what her excuse for this was, by the way, because i was barely an adult by the standards of every tribe but the nightwings, who very much considered me not full-grown, and also kind of directly responsible for the failed genocide attempt that had made political relations so dicey, from a certain point of view, but i do vaguely remember thinking she may as well have put a sign on me that said "assassin detector" or something.) i know there were a handful of dragons in probably every tribe that knew, but i don't remember why or how in any other cases. i think a lot of dragons could tell there was just something off about me.

i made a lot of deeply questionable personal decisions (including a not-insignificant amount of political meddling, completely unrelated to anything in the last paragraph by the way, i really don't know how i got myself into these situations, lately i've been blaming clearsight because it usually turns out to be true) at this point. details are not important, but i was, as mentioned before, kind of a bitch during this time.

i ended up becoming something of an archivist, i started spending time in the old kingdom because i liked the solitude but library visits turned into more rigorous archival work and then research projects and i ended up doing a lot of work annotating old nightwing propaganda, which was of interest to like five other dragons on the planet haha but i found it really rewarding and . i don't know healing almost. and i can only assume i kept doing that, because i really don't remember much past young adulthood.

i don't know if i've ever shared all that in one place. some of that i've known for years, some of it for months, so it was a little hard to put it all together (this is my third draft !) but i hope it'll be of use. i'm still getting comfortable sharing this but feel free to ask for clarification if you want (and genuinely believe it's appropriate to ask about)

you'll make it back.

Vampire Misunderstanding

So! Danny got adopted by Bruce Wayne, but he doesn't know that Bruce is the Batman. He is just supernaturally oblivious to all things Batman related going on in the House.

But he does notice that Bruce leaves home a lot at night, that he doesn't like to go out in the day and often has his parties at night, and once or twice he's caught Bruce with a bit if blood still splattered on his cheek.

So he comes to the only plausible conclusion. Bruce is a Vampire.

He starts trying to hint at the fact that he knows, but doesn't want to just go out and say it. What if Bruce reacts negatively to him knowing? He's dealt with enough Supernatural Beings to know that they don't like other people (and especially other supernatural beings) intruding on their lives.

So Danny decided to subtly hint at it.

He started asking questions like "So hypothetically, how would you deal with having a Garlic Allergy in Gotham?" Or "So if you had very sensitive skin that could sunburn extremely easily, how much cloud cover would you need to go outside?" And "So what's your opinion on a High-Iron Diet?"

Basically just tossing out questions and trying to Guage Bruce's reaction.

He thinks he's doing a good job!

...

Bruce is certain that he has adopted a Vampire.

Danny is a good kid, but he has a few oddities that are hard to ignore.

For one, his skin is constantly Ice Cold, but he never seens to be bothered by it. As if he was an Undead that didn't require Body Heat anymore.

He also seems to like Hanging out in the Graveyard outside, and when asked about it he says that he is comforted by the place. Just like the Vampires he has met in the past, who feel comfortable when surrounded by Death.

And of course the biggest reason for suspicion is the fact that Danny seems to be hinting at it to him.

He keeps asking stuff like "How would you deal with a Garlic Allergy in Gotham?", probably trying to hint that he is a Vampire who can't eat Garlic, or asking about easy to sunburn skin, saying that he is probably not a Daywalker.

Bruce hopes Danny will just come clean about it soon, he doesn't want to intrude upon the kid when he is so obviously nervous about how he will react.

A Quick Guide to Damian’s Furry/Feathered/Scaled Companions

LEFT: R:SOB #1 Cover RIGHT: R:SOB #6

GOLIATH THE BAT DRAGON

Introduced in: ROBIN: SON OF BATMAN (2015) #1

DAMIAN'S BABY AND BEASTY BESTIE!! On a mission during the Year of Blood, Damian kills the family of bat dragons guarding his objective. Goliath, despite being the youngest and last of his kind, forgives Damian. Goliath goes on to become one of Damian's most loyal companions, even featuring beside him in Batman Beyond (2016) #10, #11, #43-#47!

LEFT: B&R #13 RIGHT: B&R #4

TITUS THE DOG

Introduced in: BATMAN AND ROBIN (2011) #2

A Great Dane gifted to Damian from Bruce as an effort in fatherhood. Funny enough, Damian finds him a nuisance at first and briefly refers to him as "Dog". Titus is a good boy that follows Damian's every step, even joining Bruce on his mission to resurrect Damian!

LEFT: Batman Inc #1 RIGHT: Batman Inc #7

BAT-COW THE COW

Introduced in: BATMAN INCORPORATED (2012) #1

Bat-Cow, branded with a star signifying which cattle were contaminated, was saved from a slaughterhouse to run some tests (which they do find of a mind control variety). Damian declares himself a vegetarian, and calls her Bat-Cow! She also sorta has a running gag of literally standing in the face of danger to save the day.

LEFT: Batman Inc #6 RIGHT: Batman Inc #7

ALFRED THE CAT

Introduced in: BATMAN INCORPORATED (2012) #6

Considered a "hopeless case" by the animal shelter, Alfred gifts him to Damian. The cat is a bold lil guy, which Damian takes an immediate liking to, and names him Alfred (likely because tuxedo cat = butler lol). After hours of chicken, playtime, and scratches, Damian and Alfred become friends! He makes his first appearance alongside Damian’s first appearance as Batman in BATMAN (1940) #666

LEFT: Batman: Li'l Gotham #2/#1 RIGHT: Batman: Li'l Gotham #23/#12

*JERRY THE TURKEY

Introduced in: BATMAN LI'L GOTHAM (2012) #2 (Digital) #1 (Printed)

The Penguin unleashes an army of turkeys at the Gotham Thanksgiving parade which Damian turns into his own li'l turkey march by playing the trumpet. He ends up bringing one of them back for Thanksgiving dinner (as a friend), and Jerry becomes a fairly regular appearance in the world of Li'l Gotham!

*WIGGLES THE DRAGON

Introduced in: NIGHTWING (2016) #42

A sort of filler issue where Damian has been kidnapped for his blood by the "Crimson Kabuki" in Tokyo, and Dick goes through a series of boss battles to save him. The dragon's blood has been the group's main source of power, so it ends up teaming with the duo, and returns home with them.

Wiggles was originally named by a fan, "Shanootnoot" on Twitter!

*Goliath, Titus, Bat-Cow, and Alfred the cat have been Damian's main canon cast of furry companions, but SUPER-PETS SPECIAL: BITEDENTITY CRISIS (2024) may have just added Jerry and Wiggles!!

[puppetmaster13u]

Prompt 312

You know what I never see used in crossovers? The fact that the Rogues, Flash’s rogues specifically, will not only hold a funeral for any central city rogue that passes, but several, if not all, will don their costume and commit one final crime in their name, so their rap sheet has one final score. Like can you imagine that for a final send off?

Can you imagine being a ghost and seeing that?

The Rogue doesn’t even have to be liked by the others, they can be an utter asshole. And the tradition is still done. And I just think that’s beautiful in a way. 

[solroskajan]

I couldn't run from the vuzi thoughts any longer sorry.
