Looking at the assortment of items on the foldable card table feels like she is looking at them through mist, as though they come from another world.

So, went to a pub today

I hate this sign. This was the 'other' one

Guess that one doesn't need you to be masc presenting... 🙄

To defend the wild ass gross womb-first vibes I got off the sign, this was the graffiti in the actual cubicle, so the world is still a good place

Thinkin' of WOF Au for DC, but like, it's a Gothamite and Fawcett thing. (And Amity Park if crossover)

Like those are the most magical areas in the world, even if Gotham is cursed as fuck. An unspoken secret of sorts that while they present themselves as human to outsiders, they are all Very Much Not.

Which means hilariously in the league, when everyone expects Batman to be suspicious and short with the new guy- even made bets on it- they are then shooketh when both visibly relax and start talking. And half the shared complaints don't make sense!

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

Now Gotham technically has no Queen, nor does Fawcett, but Batman and Captain Marvel are the closest things. Not in the traditional sense of back when they were in separate tribes (& maybe from a different dimension but shh that was millennia ago) but in the sense of, they're the ones patrolling and protecting the cities along with calling the shots in disasters.

Which does sort of change the dynamic they both have in their city. If one of them calls to arms, the city would follow them. They could declare war, and their cities (begrudgingly in Gotham's underbelly's case of strongest is in charge) would follow. And while Billy is oblivious, both Marvel-the-not-hivemind and Batman are. They know they have to be very careful.

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

I'm sure we all want Nightwing Bruce but no. Bruce, like both his mother and father and father's father and so on before him, is actually an Icewing. The Waynes however, have a case of melanism running in their bloodline. Thomas Wayne? Only his quills and part of his back were darker, but Bruce? Practically pitch black scales that shadow his eyes.

Now Alfred on the other hand, is a Nightwing. No special powers there, though you would hear many a child protest with how he seems to know everything.

Commissioner Gordon is a Mudwing, big stocky and very tired, which translates to his human disguise as a large trenchcoat. He finds this very amusing. Barbara similarly, is half Mudwing. Her mother was a Hivewing, making her a hybrid between both. Which does ironically mean that Batgirl does in fact have insectoid wings. Though that does ponder the question on if they'd all go by their original vigilante names.

Dick is a Silkwing. Wingless as he watches his parents fall and unable to do anything despite this place supposedly being safe for beings like them. He grows into his own, and his wings, when they come in, are dark Gotham colors through and through, with the deep blue of the sky he's come to crave.

Jason is a hybrid between a Mudwing and a Skywing. He's also an animus- not that he knew that. He doesn't find out until he's dying, telling himself to not die, to get back to Gotham, to his dad, his family- And then he wakes up in his Coffin, alive.

Now Cass, raised to be the perfect killer, is also a hybrid, just one between a Nightwing and a Rainwing, egg set out under the moon. Which succeeds, partially. She can't straight up read minds, but combined with her talent in reading body language on both human and inhuman bodies, it's a near thing.

Tim is a Seawing, borderline abandoned by his parents who seek treasures and more wealth as he's trapped back in a city where the water is dark and poisoned. But he's Gothamite, through and through, and he adapts. Scales darker than the original blues he was born with, and glow shifting to that sickly white of the Gotham's Bats.

Now Steph, is a full-blooded Rainwing, and can in fact change her scales, but can mostly be found in purples and golds. Though for a short time she was in another set of colors, thought dead before she slithered out of the shadows older and wiser than before.

Damian is his father's son, but he's also an Al-Ghul. The not-quite dragonet is half Icewing, and half Sandwing. And struggled to adjust at first, to a place so different from his first home where the only other dragons were blood related. But like any Wayne before him, he adjusts, and he adapts.

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

Billy wasn't a Beetlewing originally, and perhaps he would have hesitated if he'd known it would change him, would change his body and the last thing he had of his parents. But his friends, his Team and new family help. And he can pass as a Silkwing like their sort-of foster mother. All six of them can do so now, even if the others look more like hybrids themselves thanks to not being the Champion. They might not be, but they're his family. And that's enough.

okay how do i look

Love her even though I’m not supposed to ❤️ she keeps me up

[voluntarysubmission]

Reading the manuscripts from Alan Wake: American Nightmare is so funny because Alan loves his wife so much and really seems so sad that he was ever an asshole to her. He's pretty much writing "I sucked so much, I can't believe my wife likes me let alone loves me, I'm so lucky to have her, and I miss her so much, I just want to be back with her, I'm a better person now and I want to be a good husband for her".

He's aware it's been at least 2 years that he's been gone, and that she thinks he's dead and is more sad about that because he doesn't want HER heart to be broken, and hopes she's moved on, but also really wants to get out to be with her again? Thinking about her is how he stays sane in a place that actively gnaws at the mind.

I guess by AW2 he's become much more resigned to her thinking he's dead and less actively just thinking about how he misses his wife, but it's still very sweet that as soon as he realises she's being haunted, he's like "nobody endangers MY wife" and continues to terribly haphazardly try to save her.

Alice unfortunately doesn't get much characterisation through the games, and I hope she gets more screentime in future stuff, but it's nice that Remedy shows that Alan is kind of just a loving puppy even years into their marriage. And she loves him too!!!

Anyway I'm pretty much just pointing at Alan now and going "haha check out THIS guy, he LOVES HIS WIFE, what a NERD" but with as much affection as I can because I genuinely love it.

Nicky- Agatha and Rio's son- Wanda and Natasha Co-parent for fun basically- Rebecca has no part but enjoys having him over

The DarkHold's child form- Just likes to pretend he's apart of the family and claims Wanda and Agatha as his mom, making Natasha and Rio his step-moms for funnies.

#so minthara and her big wet eyes for durge might be complete soon The thing is, hers started off as just, like, a character fanmix for Minthara, but it just veered into containing so many songs about Minthara's capacity for all-consuming love that I have been trying to figure out if it's a Minthara/Durge mix now and needs to be titled as one

[sheepoftheseus]

TIGER TIGER is a zine i wrote last year & then rewrote coz i had more to say. it's about my small chinese mother & how she raised me to become a small chinese lesbian. both versions of tiger tiger are on my itch for free & i think reading both makes them hit harder

Chapter 4: Snowed In

Agatha / Rio E rated (eventually) TW: baby loss, fertility issues Summary: Agatha gets snowed in at her estranged wife/co parent's house. In chapter 4 they have a cosy night in and Rio longs for what she has lost.

Read from the start here

“But did you see him eat?” Agatha was insisting on the phone. “Sometimes he just pulls the hay out.”

Rio rolled her eyes. She had to pity Alice. Caring for Señor Scratchy under Agatha’s micromanagement was a nightmare. When they first started dating Rio had fed him a treat whole without breaking it up and she did not hear from Agatha again for two days.

“Yes, well, can you actually watch him eat the pellets?” Agatha continued, giving no sign she had noticed Rio enter the room. “I should be back tomorrow morning,” Agatha continued. “You won’t need to worry about the morning herbs.”

“Alice following orders?” Rio asked as Agatha hung up.

Agatha shook her head. “I swear to god if Señor Scratchy goes into GI stasis-”

“He won’t,” Rio cut her off. “The real danger is your house plants.”

Agatha’s anxiety dropped immediately as she fixed Rio with a glare. “Very funny. You know I wouldn’t keep-”

“I know, I know,” Rio knew fine well that Agatha would not keep toxic houseplants. They had learned their lesson once at 1am on a Friday night. Rio had left the bedroom in search of a post-coital snack and left the kitchen door open behind her. When Agatha had returned to fetch a glass of water she had found Señor Scratchy munching on the monstera. Señor Scratchy had frozen, clearly aware that this delicious treat was out of bounds and had scarpered across the wooden flooring. It had been an emergency trip to the vet, who was not a fan of stubborn rabbits, and then they had spent the night trying to feed Señor Scratchy activated charcoal every 2 hours. Rio had silently thought what she suspected the vet was also thinking: the tiny amount of leaf that had been nibbled was probably not enough to do any harm, but she wasn’t about to say that to Agatha who loved this little bunny with her whole heart. And so, she sat up with Agatha, forcing the syringe of activated charcoal into his mouth while Agatha held him still. Agatha had exiled the monstera to the greenhouse the very next day.

Rio was next to her now, their elbows brushing as they looked out the window. Another gentle flurry of snow was falling. There had been no question of Señor Scratchy staying when Agatha left. He was Agatha’s bunny, though Rio would be lying if she said she did not miss him. He like dawn, like her. They had often spent the mornings together, Rio brewing coffee while Señor Scratchy ran zoomies around the living room before flopping in his favourite spot under the couch.

“How is he doing?” Rio asked, fixing her eyes out on the snow.

“He’s good.” Agatha answered. “He’s on some anti-arthritics, more preventative than anything.” Rio nodded. She never liked to say, but Señor Scratchy was really getting on in years. In fact he had been for the last few years, but Agatha refused to see him that way.

“Nicky’s asking for hot chocolate, would you like some?”
