I Can't Stop Thinking About An AU Where Multiple Universes Collide And A Bunch Of Alternate Bats Have

[Movie night at Titan Tower]

Cassie: I wanna watch Ocean’s Eight

Kon: I haven’t seen that one yet, is it any good?

Cassie: It’s brilliant.

Tim: No.

Cassie: [already cracking her knuckles and warming up for a fight] excuse you?

Tim: [arranging snacks on the coffee table] No, I mean we can’t watch it. I don’t know if it’s any good, I haven’t seen it.

Cassie: So then why can’t we watch it?

Bart: [nabbing a fistful of popcorn] Yeah, C'mon Tim. I wanna see Galadriel steal stuff.

Tim: No heist movies. I’m not allowed.

Everyone:

Gar: I- What?

Tim: B has strictly forbidden any of us from watching heist movies. Anyone who does gets benched. For six months.

Cassie: You didn’t even get benched for that long when you started that alien war.

Kon: Why the hell- [grimaces] I mean, why the heck-

Gar: You’ve seen Mission Impossible though? I know you have; you keep making references to it.

Tim: It’s a fairly recent rule. It came about when we all started getting along -relatively speaking -and having sibling movie nights. Of course, when watching heists you always start talking about whether they can be done or not, and it gets heated and then you have something to prove, you know?

Everyone:

Gar: Are you saying you’re not allowed to watch heist movies because you reenact the heists?

Tim: Yeah pretty much.

Kon: Oh my god Tim what the hell is wrong with your family?

Kon: [cringes] I mean heck. Dammit!

Tim: Clark ban cursing again?

Kon: Yes, but also SO not the point.

Cassie: [interested] How did Batman find out about this exactly?

Tim: It took a while for B to connect the dots but then Jason did a truly terrible imitation of Nicholas Cage after we… [pauses in thought] liberated a certain document that I’m not allowed to discuss, and he put it together.

Everyone:

Tim: So anyway, no heist movies. Wanna watch the Matrix?

Everyone:

Tim: [going through DVDs] Mean Girls? Pacific Rim?

Bart: [Finally cracks] Tim did you steal the declaration of independence?

Tim: The Godfather? We could have a marathon.

Bart: TIM??!!

Sonic - Hedgehog Biology Headcanons

(These apply to all the hedgehogs, not just Sonic!)

They're insomnicacs, thanks to being a nocturnal species forced into a mostly diurnal society. Whilst there are groups of hedgehogs who choose to live a nocturnal life with others like them, if you want to be part of general society you'll have to flip your sleep schedule.

Sonic's insomnia is even worse thanks to the energy that comes with his super speed; most nights he ends up going for intense long runs just to try tire himself out enough to get to bed. However, after particularly grueling battles, he'll drop light a log any time of day.

Amy makes sure to cover the bags under her eyes each morning, since otherwise diurnal people worry about her. 'This is normal', 'this is just what I look like when I live with you people', she'd tell them. They never listened.

You'd think Shadow would be set, living with a bat and a robot. And he mostly is, with Rouge favouring the cover of darkness anyway. However, he keeps finding himself in situations where he has to flip his sleep schedule to match. Spoonfulls of coffee beans come in handy.

Silver's future is still mostly diurnal, sadly for him. He's mostly managed to cope with it thanks to invented therapies and methods to help him adapt to the lifestyle, so it's always a stark reminder when he heads to the past and sees 'Team Messed Up Sleep Schedules'.

The rest of these will be more quickfire, since I can only fit so many hedgehog-headcannons in one post responsibly. </3 I'd delete the extra detail of the first one to match, but I can't bear to :,,)

When in an intense fight, they instinctivley huff, click, and puff their chests, with quills stood on end. It doesn't always intimidate as intended, it's moreso their violent glares that seals the deal. However, their screaming and hissing can really grate on the ears.

They're all lactose intolerent. Some choose to ignore this fact.

Occasionally they find themselves craving bugs and berries, as well as to hunt them. One of those foods is far more socially acceptable than the other. I'll let you work out which.

Really disgusting foods and smells remind them of poison, and will make them instinctevly self-anoint. Some find this funny to watch/do, but others think it's disgusting and bordeline taboo. Due to the latter, the less 'uncouth' of society mask the urge.

Their eyesight is naturally abysmal. This means that many hoglets will get lazer eye surgery as soon as it's safe, but some use glasses, contacts, or go back to their roots and rely on their ears and nose.

Winters are pretty hard for them, as their body fights to hibernate. Productivity dips in these months, combined with other hibernating people. If they can't get enough sleep, which is likely, they're likely to suffer from seasonal depression. This behaviour also kicks in when exposed to prolonged cold, so most hedgehogs prefer to only go to cold places out of necesity, or for a relaxing holiday.

They can lose their quills for a variety of reasons, including sickness or stress. It took solid days of work to clean the Resistance HQ of shedded pink quills after Amy's duty was over.

You might hear a typical persons stomach rumble when hungry, but hedgehogs will start to chirp. It's a cute noise, so those trying to keep up appearences do their best to stay well fed.

Are fedoras really that bad?

YES YES THEY ARE

Heheh look at this art

Last minute operation

2 things I've found very helpful as an uneducated american when I'm working on characters who're from countries I'm not very familiar with:

1. Look up "[country] online art gallery". This is great for getting ideas of how to draw/stylize people of that ethnicity without unknowingly dipping into racist stereotypes. Landscape art, particularly of streets, is also great for getting a feel of the country that doesn't have the "impoverished undeveloped/untouched simple living" bias you get a lot of when you're looking at pages aimed more at north american/british tourists

2. Go to that country on google maps, pick a spot in some random town/city, and just wander around in google street view. This part is also for getting the vibe of what the country is like visually, and in addition you're going to see way better examples of what the average person living there looks like (peoples faces are usually blurred in streetview, but often visible in photospheres), and typical clothing, than searching "[country] people"

Also, the firefox extension "TWP translate web pages" translates web pages in real time, directly on the site, no hassle. If you use that, Google translate to change your search query into the country's primary language, and change your search region (option right under the search bar in duckduckgo, don't remember how to in google sorry) you can search for and read pages that are actually from that country. I use that all the time when I want to research more specific things.

Very helpful things to add to your other research

Here me out Hal

Platonically or romantically, either way.

"is your ame characterization like shy or socially inept or something" NO he likes talking to other people he's just so viscerally weird not even he knows what to do with himself about it. hyper individualism under capitalism and the alienation and competitiveness and etc etc etc that comes with it. etc. tags.

Thinking about my previous thoughts about Dick adopting Tim and decided to take a giant leap further-

What if Dick somehow ended up adopting all of his siblings before Bruce could (so they were never technically his siblings)? Like Tim comes and finds him and tells him to become Robin again and instead of being like 'lol no' he sees a tiny child and is like 'fuck i need to protect him' and then it just goes downhill from there.

Tiny assassin child? New daughter.

Girl fighting back against her father's evil plans? Another daughter.

Another assassin child? Son.

He and Barbara fight over custody sometimes but they are officially his. And Bruce is tired because he suddenly has a lot of grandchildren.

And then Jason comes back and is like 'thank god I avoided all this' and Dick's like 'NOPE you're mine now Bruce lost his chance'

Richard Roxburgh and Kate Beckinsale in Van Helsing (2004)

Danny a Rogue in one of DC city, but not the "I'm gonna kill everyone cause' I HATE LIFE !!!" no, he's "Oops, call the hero I accidentaly made a superweapon that I cannot stop (for the third time this week) !"

The Super Hero doesn't know what to do with him and you cann see Danny cheereing from a stand while the hero is battling the thing in a désolation landscape
