ghosts - batman: haunted knight
[ID: A multi panel sequence of Bruce Wayne as a child on Halloween. He's dressed up in a Mask of Zorro costume and is excitedly running down the stairs while holding two swords, calling out for his mother happily. He tells her that he's ready to go trick or treating. Martha Wayne has her hand on his shoulder and is smiling as she tells him, “your costume looks great!” Bruce replies, “Thanks, I made it myself. Alfred sorta helped. Is dad home yet?” Martha draws her hand back hesitantly and says his name. Bruce already knows that that means there's bad news. He tells her, “don't tell me,” before she continues and says his father called. Bruce has his head down, angrily finishing her sentence, “he's gotta work late!” He looks out the window as if his father will appear and says, “It's not fair! He promised he would take me trick or treating!” Martha soothes that she knows as Bruce repeats, “he promised,” to himself disappointedly. She tells him, “But there was an emergency,” which makes Bruce snap, “There's always some emergency!”
Bruce continues to stand in front of the window as Martha looks at him. Bruce announces, “I'm gonna wait for him. Even if it takes all night!” as he tensely clenches the handle of his sword. Martha reaches out for him sadly and suggests, “Bruce, I could take you out myself. Or, we can call some of the other children at school and go out with them.” Bruce, as an adult, somberly says off panel that, “she doesn't know...” as his kid self stares out the window still. His hat casting a small shadow on his face as he tells her, “There are no other kids to call. I have no friends at school.” Martha says his name again but doesn't know how to comfort him. Instead, she just silently places a hand on his shoulder. We see a silhouette from far away of her standing next to him as Bruce waits for his father to eventually come home. END ID]

i've had more than one friend harassed over fanfic/shipping now and i'm so fucking done.
i know i don't have a lot of followers and i'd hope most people around here don't do it but if you think this is in any way acceptable, unfollow me. there are real people behind the screen and bullying them and sending them hate is not justifiable at all.
if you don't like something, unfollow/block/ignore. move along.

Some Info on Plunder Hunt
Hey all, saw some folks posting about Plunder Hunt & wanted to share official statements from Hawkules.
First, here's a link to the newsletter about Plunder Hunt for general info.
Second, here's Hawkules statement (via the official P101 Discord) in regards to the feedback we've received thus far:
Begin Quote:
"Real talk.
When a sister company of ours, a game studio of three cool developers, showed us their Pirate game we got excited. We have this really cool chance to help promote the work of people we want to lift at essentially no cost/humanpower to KingsIsle developers. We can share the world that many people know and love and give a neat game a splash of recognizable Pirate101 visuals.
Launch strategy aside.
This mobile game is NOT taking resources from Pirate101.
It IS a bonus. A bonus game with familiar characters. A neat option to include in your gaming world if you dig it.
If you don't like it, that's totally cool.
Please don't review bomb an indie studio's first major step into the limelight though. Your feedback on how to make it more fun is very welcome. That small dev team is facing a tidal wave of,,,,, let's call it Responses that is frankly uncharacteristic of this community.
This partnership came from an earnest group thought of "hey this would be cute and neat :D"
Please, please don't let this cute lil game get you upset. It has essentially 0 impact on Pirate101 development.
EDIT: Yes, we know about the ads. We all agree it's a problem. Please standby for news about that…." End Quote
Again I won't speak personally on this because I have 0% involvement with anything reading Plunder Hunt, but it bares repeating: "Please, please don't let this cute lil game get you upset. It has essentially 0 impact on Pirate101 development"
