Thinking about my eel aliens again...I think it would be very cool and pogchamp for them to have a sex-determining system where male anatomy is the default pathway, but development of the gonads is triggered via pheromone ratios so you only get 'true males' (aka individuals that develop testicles) in the extended absense of a breeding male and 'true females' (aka individuals that develop ovaries) if the pheromones produced by sex-neutral adults is predominent in the population and/or there is a breeding male present but no female, leading to a society where gender dynamics are essentially predetermined entirely by individual behavior and all the baggage that comes along with it)
(Sex-neutral adults are, admittedly, not entirely sex-neutral to begin with- they function as sneaker males do in many animal species, where they are capable of breeding a female behind the dominant male's back, thus escaping the need to challenge him directly. However, to avoid being a target of the dominant male, they produce vastly less of their masculinizing hormone, so they're barely fertile as a consequence)

I personally headcanon that the reason that the townsfolk all unquestioningly accept the farmer despite them being the weirdest person (?) alive is that they've all lived in the same tiny, rural, seemingly isolated town for most of their lives and have no real experience with someone from outside it. They probably just accept that that's just how cityfolk are, and it would be rude to question it. Like yeah, they sometimes barge into their bedrooms wearing a trashcan lid as a hat, present them with their favorite meal, and then fuck off to fish until they pass out at two in the morning, and routinely take one-way trips to Calico Desert with no way to get back, only to be spotted heading into the mines early the next morning, but they're from Zuzu city. Besides, that meal they pulled out of their backpack was pretty damn good

idk if this is accurate but i’ve felt like in previous seasons riz & gorgug have been one of the inter-bad kids dynamics we’ve seen the least of & this season has been so great in that aspect. gorgug having helped make some of riz’s magic gear. riz helping gorgug with his studies. the shared birthday party. gorgug’s gift to riz being something he himself made to protect riz. riz’s gift to gorgug being something he illegally grabbed to protect gorgug. gorgug who utilizes rage to put his body on the line for his friends & riz who will take deep levels of mental stress for his friends. even though it was within the context of a joke, riz calling gorgug an “absolute sweetie.” like yea they might not be in a band together or both part of a presidential campaign team or owlbears teammates, but they’d go to war for each other, because they’re best friends.

thinking about how the (greek) big three swore to never sire any more demigod children because those children are just too powerful (dangerous) and also thinking about how the characters that, arguably, seem to have the greatest proclivity for cruelty in the name of justice or vengeance are also the (greek) big three children... there's something there, a connection to be made I'm sure of it

Superbat parenting babies would be a breeze in my humble opinion. Bruce's medically well-versed enough and immune to even enhanced interrogation levels of sleeplessness, and loves kids and would probably be happy reading them stories to sleep every night.
And Clark could always tell if the kid swallowed fridge magnets/batteries/something else. Also, tell me which baby wouldn't enjoy Clark's presence and calmness. They'd be like little hamsters cajoled by the steadiness of his hold.

DP X DC PROMPT: DISRUPTIVE SUMMONINGS AU
Some time after Danny joins the Justice League, his Rogues find out and whine at him about how he's "hoarding all the good fights and we're all so boooored, don't be stingy!" so they come up with a summoning rotation where he calls on them to help deal with the kind of threats that requires backup. The JL is appreciative at first. They are less so once they realise how chaotic Danny's reformed Rogue Gallery can be.
(Batman especially wants them all gone, they're so unpredictable he can't plan a strategy around their madness. Robin hates Youngblood with the fire of a thousand suns and has declared him his nemesis. The Flash wants Clockwork to stop bullying him.)

I love the concept of Loki learning to accept Mobius's affection so much because it's basically:
Loki: Are you trying to seduce me?
Mobius: All I did was ask about your day and listen to you rant.
Loki: Not only that.
Mobius: I offered you a snack and told you it was okay to take breaks if you need to.
Loki: And what else?
Mobius: Uh... I guess I praised you? For doing a good job today?
Loki: Exactly. People don't do that much nice things in a row without an ulterior motive.
Mobius: ...They do, though??
Loki: Not to me!
Mobius: What the fuck dude, this is literally basic human kindness? Have you really been this neglected, do you need a hug??
Loki: And now a hug, too? You're shameless.
