I think an overlooked aspect of potential BatFam stuff is how, because Tim had his own rogues gallery, a lot of those guys would probably carry that beef on with Damian. Sort of a sins-of-the-father situation, or sins of the predecessor in this case.

King Snake, the Baffler, Jaeger, Steeljacket, Michael Lasky AKA Dodge, Scarab, Charaxes, Detectives Cavallo and Wise, Electrocutioner, the General, etc.

Also from last night’s Forward Unto Dawn fic research, because sometimes you go in looking to finish a story and end up with another plot bunny:

Sometime after Circinius, maybe a day or maybe several years, Sully tells Tom he’s sorry for hurting his foot because that biofoam could have saved Chyler. Tom is horrified that Sully feels guilty about this and tells him they didn’t know Chyler was hit, and she might have died anyway. Sully isn’t consoled by any of this. Tom finally says “Chyler wouldn’t want you to think this way, Sully, and neither do I.”

This is going to the bottom of the fic priority list because it might be a struggle to get this level of angst out. I only have so much capacity for that. And I have a hard time writing Lasky without his bride anymore.

Happy birthday to Michael "Mickey" Crespo!

Today is his -507th birthday!

Mickey was born on Luna to insurrectionist parents who died during an attack on a government building. He was placed in foster care, and enlisted in the UNSC at age eighteen, as military conscription was a requirement to leave foster. After his mandatory service, he chose to remain in the military, and eventually joined the ODSTs.

Mickey was part of the ODST squad Alpha-Nine during the Covenant attack on Earth. The squad was given orders to destroy the Covenant carrier Solemn Penance, until their orders were suddenly changed by Captain Veronica Dare. After getting separated in New Mombasa, Alpha-Nine would eventually regroup and assist Dare with her real mission: to secure a Huragok--an organic Forerunner construct with a natural drive to repair and an invaluable wealth of knowledge about both Covenant and Forerunner technology. They would succeed in capturing the Huragok, surrendering it to ONI.

After the end of the war, Alpha-Nine went right back into deployment against the Insurrection. Mickey resented fighting against humans immediately following an extinction war. After a standoff with an insurrectionist leader led to the death of the Rookie, Mickey's disillusionment with the war and the UNSC became exacerbated.

Alpha-Nine was offered admission into the SPARTAN program, which the remaining members eventually accepted. During his training, Mickey met Rudolf Schein, a fellow trainee and member of the United Rebel Front. Schein began to convince Mickey to join, but then died in a skirmish after he was found to have murderered another trainee who refused to join the URF.

Mickey met Schein's father at his funeral, and finally decided to quietly defect from the UEG. Alpha-Nine was sent to combat the rebels yet again, at which point, Mickey revealed his allegiance. He and Buck fought, with Buck knocking him unconscious and handing him in to Jun-A266. Mickey received a life sentence and was imprisoned on a Spartan training facility. These events led to the dissolution of Alpha-Nine.

When the Created conflict began, ONI scrambled to find a way to combat Cortana's Guardians, as the massive contructs were capable of oppressing entire planets without any way to fight them. Captain Veronica Dare began calling back the members of Alpha-Nine, including asking Buck and Romeo to free Mickey. Though Buck heavily protested, Dare needed someone with the URF's trust. She discovered a colony that possessed cloaking technology that the Guardians could not detect, but the colony was occupied by the URF. Dare felt that the only way to convince the colony to share with the UEG would be to bring one of their members.

Buck eventually relented, and Alpha-Nine, minus the Rookie, reassembled. Buck and Mickey spent much of this time arguing, with Buck believing Mickey to be a terrorist and traitor. They were eventually able to convince the mayor of Cassidy III to permit ONI to study the cloaking technology, but the colony was then attacked by a Guardian. Mickey saved Buck's life during the evacuation, and the iciness between them began to thaw.

Once back on Infinity, Buck convinced Captain Lasky and Commander Palmer to let Mickey remain free while the Created continued to be a threat. Mickey attended Buck's wedding, and Alpha-Nine was reformed as a Spartan fireteam. However, his fate after the hostilities cease (if they ever cease, it is Halo) is uncertain.

In canon (~2560), he is turning 30!

I forget the icons but: who would you actually want to have a drink with and who are you beating the shit out of?

I don't know if I've already made the joke but I would get a drink with Lasky so he gives me a flag of his glassed military academy like he did for the pov character of the fucking cookbook. Also because he needs to drink something other than whiskey and he's just so sad. But only Halo 4 model Lasky, Halo5 Lasky I would take as a case for work.

^ signs of a man coping so so well

I am beating the shit out of Michael Sullivan before I myself am blackbagged and sent to the Midnight Facility

Was clearing out my drafts and found this from my B5/Halo crossover mess.

I call this scene “Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money; the $#*! has hit the fan”.

—

(Lasky and Palmer are sitting across from Sheridan, Ivanova, and Garibaldi like a couple of kids in the principal’s office.)

Sheridan: Captain Lasky.

Lasky: Captain Sheridan.

Sheridan: You were transporting a war criminal.

Lasky: That’s right.

Sheridan: And you didn’t think I needed to know this before giving you permission to dock at my station?

Palmer: We didn’t think she would be a problem.

Garibaldi: Right. Who’d think a war criminal could be a problem?

Palmer: She was handcuffed and locked in a cell.

Garibaldi: And now she’s running around unchecked on our space station. I’d say your security’s a bit lax, Infinity.

Palmer: Listen, YOUR people let her on board—

Ivanova: *trying to stop Garibaldi and Palmer from getting into a shouting match* When exactly did you plan on telling us this? Because you WERE going to, right?

Lasky: What was I supposed to say? “Thanks for the help, Babylon 5, by the way we’ve got a mad scientist on board who can outsmart every sentient being in your galaxy or mine”?

[pause]

Ivanova: That would have covered it.

Sheridan: Yes! That would have been great!

This is maybe a week after Infinity’s unexpected appearance. They sustained some pretty bad damage and injuries, so the crew is up to its eyeballs in immediate crises and Halsey became something of an afterthought. Also she’s chained up in the brig, who’d think she could get out. She took advantage of this and slipped over to B5 somehow, possibly using Roland in a similar capacity to the override in Spartan Ops.

closed starter for @kryptonianclone

He was unraveling. He knew it. He was unraveling, and he knew it—and he didn’t care.

When his mom had died—his dad barely hanging on to life, too—he’d thrown himself into the arms of a living shadow, and he’d decided without caveat or reservation that he was going to follow that shadow to the only place that shadows could ever come from, could ever go. He’d accepted that descent into hell with open arms and a red, angry eye, staring unfocused into nothing.

It was uncanny how, after he’d made that decision, the rest of the people in his life had begun to drop like flies.

People he hardly knew—Michael Lasky, who just wanted to do good. Johnny Warren, who he thought he’d murdered. Dozens upon dozens of unsaved civilians. Classmates at Grieve—a frighteningly appropriate name for a high school for Tim Drake, omen of death, to attend. He’d like to say that he was being too dramatic with a thought like that, but if three made a pattern, then he’d already far surpassed that, well on his way to fact.

Because then there was Darla Aquista. And then Stephanie Brown. People he knew well.

His own dad.

And then—

The day Superboy’s memorial was held, Tim spent an hour in a restroom in the Hall of Justice, hurling until there was only acid left—and even that emptied out of him, scorching his throat in the process.

Not that his voice wouldn’t have been hoarse without it. He’d hardly slept after— …after That Day. He’d hardly eaten. He’d hardly cried, even, because he’d dehydrated himself as soon as the numbness of shock wore off on the first bitter, horrible night after the crisis, and he certainly hadn’t been hydrating enough since then. He didn’t even like to speak to people those days, because they mostly gave him pitying looks, and he couldn’t stand those.

It felt like he was doomed to them, though—because they drove him crazy when Kon died—and then when Bart died—

And they drove him crazy when Bruce “died,” too.

Even though he wasn’t dead. Tim knew he wasn’t. And he’d prove it, even if he had to do it alone. Even if he barely had anyone left to do it with, because they were—

Focus, Drake.

What he hadn’t expected, in this new mission of his, was for his attempts to find proof of Bruce’s life to lead him into a fight with a magic-user. A magic-user who was new on the scene in Germany—and god, he was really regretting not brushing up on his Deutsch because he wasn’t sure he even fully understood what was going on with the novice mage—considering that they were speaking backwards German, and he was rusty in normal German.

<<Hey—okay, listen, I know you’re scared—>> He held out his hands placatingly, struggling to remember inflection and vocabulary.

They didn’t let him finish his broken sentence.

Instead, they flung their hands back at him, thinking him to be attacking—

And then Tim was in what he thought to be a headquarters of some kind. It was one that he’d never seen before in his life, though, which was… more than a bit unsettling. Because he knew what every hero team’s headquarters looked like, and this… wasn’t one of them.

Admittedly, it did look like them. It resembled something the Titans—or maybe the JL—might have used. He really hoped that it hadn’t been taken over by villains. He didn’t have time for an outnumbered fight.

The universe didn’t seem to agree with him, of course—it rarely did. Because right as he thought maybe he could sneak out undetected, an automated voice announced his presence, and he was forced to bite back a sigh, as he readied himself for a sudden attack.

I went through my house and collected most of the books that I have not read. There are more, but I wrote a list of the 100 books that I want to read relatively soon. If I start the challenge today, it can progress throughout this year and go into next year. By the end of 2023, I want to have read all these books.

Happy birthday to Commander Michael "Sully" Sullivan!

Today is his -487th birthday!

Sullivan enrolled in Corbulo Academy of Military Science and was assigned to Hastati squad alongside Thomas Lasky, whom he befriended. He was not proficient in combat exercises but had a knack for hacking. After the Covenant attack on Corbulo Academy and his subsequent rescue by Blue Team, he joined the UNSC Navy.

While initially a cheerful teenager, the attack hardened him, and he developed the opinion that humanity should defeat the Covenant by any means necessary. This ideology, and his skills as a hacker, caught the attention of the Office of Naval Intelligence, who assigned him to Section One--its intelligence gathering division.

In 2558, Sullivan approached reporter Benjamin Giraud with an offer to conduct a series of interviews about the Master Chief. This, of course, was a propaganda front, and Giraud was fed false sources who would corroborate ONI's claim that Master Chief enlisted in the Spartans. ONI never intended to reveal the actual origins of the SPARTAN-IIs and intended to use Giraud to legitimize the story they created.

After uncovering information that conflicted with ONI's story, Giraud contacted Sullivan several times to confront him with the discrepancies. Sullivan maintained that any discrepancy was the result of bad records. Eventually, Giraud would stop trusting Sullivan and begin his own investigation, which would culminate into revealing the truth during a conference between ONI and the UEG. When Sullivan discovered this, he had Giraud captured and sent to Midnight Facility. Post-war, he was promoted to Senior Communications Director for ONI Section Two--its propaganda division.

In canon (~2560), he is turning 50!

[frogges-enlightenment]

In 1985, Barbara's Bakery introduced a new cereal with a fictional bird mascot: Puffins. The cereal was so named because of its distinct puffy granules of whole wheat and corn flour, and because animal mascots were a fact of the business. While this cereal was largely a calculated effort to capitalize on the trend of low-fat breakfast cereals, it had bizarre ecological and cultural fallout.

This cereal, for reasons unknown, caught the interest of many bird enthusiasts.

Notably, children's book author Kathryn Lasky was fascinated by the strange-looking cereal mascot. At the time she was best known for her massively successful novel The Capture. This book was the beginning of The Guardians of Ga'Hoole, a massively successful adventure fantasy series about owls. In book 2, The Journey, Lasky decided to include the fictional cereal bird that had so captured her imagination. Puffins in the Ga'Hoole galaxy were silly, foolish birds, a foil for the primarily noble and knowledgeable owls of the series.

Completely unknown to Lasky, an amateur ornithologist had also found the fictional avian cereal mascot particularly charming. While on a trip to visit a girlfriend in the United States, John Phillip Cartwright of Newcastle, England became obsessed with the idea of a puffin. In 1994, he had obtained a breeding pair of Parakeet Auklets. He believed that this diving and swimming seabird with a bright orange beak would be a good starting point for his goal: the creation of the world's first real puffin.

After four years of breeding for traits that best matched his favorite fictional bird, by 2003, Cartwright had successfully hatched a clutch of birds that looked like the bird on the cereal box. The puffins grew quickly, but while travelling to a birder's convention in London, 6 of the 9 original puffins escaped. While disappointed, Cartwright still had the remaining 3, so he was able to make a minor splash with what he described as a new species at the 2004 London Bird Fair.

Unbeknownst to Cartwright, the escaped birds both survived and thrived in the North Atlantic, successfully fishing and nesting in small rocky outcroppings in the North Atlantic. In fact, in the years following, they would be named as an invasive species, as they outcompeted many other seabirds for critical nesting space in that ecological niche.

The puffins continued to multiply, and a particularly dense hatchery formed on the Irish island of Skellig Michael. This island would be the site for the next chapter of the improbable but true saga of the puffin.

From 2015 to 2016, the island was the site of filming for the new Star Wars trilogy, with appearances in both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. However, the birds were considered immersion-breaking by the set designers, since the scenes were supposed to be set on a faraway planet.

As a result, creature concept designer Jake Lunt Davies suggested digitally covering up the puffins. Instead of fully removing them, he opted to map a silly looking alien face onto the puffin body. This effort was encouraged by higher-ups due to the promising merchandising potential of a cute Star Wars branded creature.

And that is how the puffin went from being a fictional corporate mascot, to appearing in an acclaimed series of children's novels, to a real creature, and then improbably back to being a fictional corporate mascot.
