The thing about kids is that they’re so little
So Absolute Robins am I right?
I've been reading about absolute Batman (not actually reading it so pardon any inaccuracies) but most of what I've seen about the Robins is how they've changed without Bruce's mentorship. Which is not my first impression of their introduction. In fact it's more the other way around.
The absolute universe, from my understanding is the 'what if' superheroes were the underdogs and didn't have their greatest assets/strengths. Instead those strengths were given to the villains.
For Bruce it's initially assumed to be his wealth, which true. You could also say it's the fact he's not an orphan. Now Joker is the wealthy Prince of Gotham. But when the Robins are introduced they're introduced as being raised by Joker. They already explored the idea that you can't have Batman without a Robin in the 1980s between Death in the Family and A Lonely Place of Dying. Which was why my first impression of the Robins was how perfect the scenario was. Bruce's great strengths are wealth (of course), motivation (read as: being orphaned), his detective skills, and of course his kids. (There's probably some other strengths but I degress).
So now to the Robins side. Yes, it's a world where they don't have Bruce's mentorship BUT they're also all heroes, which means the universe 'what if' theory still applies. They didn't have the guidance or resources of the Batman. And now they're being manipulated into thinking they're doing the right thing by the bad guy. Since, the heroes in the absolute universe are still trying to help out. It's more about all these kids/young adults who wanted to do right are being taken advantage of without Bruce's guidance and protection. Not necessarily just the 'what if' the robins where mentored by Joker.
So it's not 'oh look the robins aren't trained by Batman look what happens' it's a two way street. The robins don't have Batman just as much as Batman doesn't have his robins.
Which leaves me interested in how they're relationships will work moving forward. The Robins think Batman killed Gordon, but he didn't Joker did. But will this universe Batman help them? Will they help him? Or will the rules of the 'what if' hinder any advantages they could all have.
Thank you for reading my TED Talk.
Tbh they're probably all gonna die before anything can happen but it's nice to think about what could be if DC cared more about the Batfam in elseworlds and popular media.
I can't imagine being a kid in 1988 and calling into DC being like "yeah kill Jason haha cause you're toootaaaaally going to do that."
And then he dies. And you have to live with that guilt for 15 years. You killed that child.
I think the biggest issue with how Bruce raising Damian is written is that they act like this is his first time parenting.
Damian is the youngest and Bruce has raised other children before. Specifically raising Dick from about the age of 8 or 9.
It’s just weird to dismiss the others before Damian.

What's Your Name Kid
CW: fighting, typical blood and gore one piece has, mentions of slavery and all that comes with it, it's the auction scene in sabaody so all that comes with that, that's all I can think of
Summary:
It's been eight years. Eight years since Ace has seen Luffy, since those bastards took away their freedom. Ace has nothing left but the dream to save Luffy. His little brother deserves to be free. He doesn't deserve these chains, or the pains and aches. The only issue is, that Ace is broken.
Rayleigh is broke. He totally got drunk and gambled all his money away. Fun times. Luckily some bastard will buy him as a slave and Rayleigh will just rob 'em. Sounds like a great plan. But, there's something about the kid in the cell next to him that might ruin the plan. Or maybe Rayleigh's entire life.
Part 2 coming soon...
Things about One Piece that crack me tf up
not one single character has worn an eyepatch in over 20 years of this 1,000+ chapter pirate manga
there's like… laser guns and cyborgs and CCTV but everyone's still using sailboats to get around (with square sails no less)
there are canonically three different kinds of furries
Luffy hangs around all day with the only person in the world who knows where the Death Star is, but he doesn't give a shit
Eiichiro Oda has spent more than half of his life so far writing and drawing One Piece. at age 22 he created his first ever manga series and it became the bestselling comic book in history and when it finally ends he can probably just retire
Oda planned One Piece would last about five years. This was in 1997
Oda just casually confirming his universe has SECRET ANCIENT MOON CIVILIZATIONS with ROBOT ARMIES and FUCKING SPACE PIRATES, and possibly ACTUAL ALIENS… in a fucking chapter cover story. And then never mentioning it again for 14 actual real-world years
eat a devil fruit. is it the one that makes you a godlike indestructible force of nature, or the one that makes you a rubber band who can't swim? welp
Sengoku is one of the most serious characters in the whole series, he runs the military, but he has a giant stupid afro and a pet goat that follows him everywhere and he can turn into a giant buddha with an even bigger afro
Chopper was just vibing as an animal and then one day he ate a weird fruit and woke up with self-awareness and hopes and dreams and anxiety and now he has a medical degree? the reindeer, he walks like a man
Dr. Hiliruk is basically one of those hippie moms who tries to cure measles with essential oils and shit but he's also one of the most heroic characters in the entire series
it's one of the goofiest wackiest manga out there but when you look closely the setting is actually a morally grey hellworld mostly run by a corrupt government built on secrets and lies which only exists to support cartoonishly evil aristocrats who live on a mountain beating slaves all day, and the rest is either lawless wastelands or controlled by 10 foot tall invincible psychopaths who could easily take over the rest of the world if they didn't all hate each other
the Celestial Dragons commit horrific atrocities every 0.001 seconds but they all dress like fucking idiots and have Dr. Seuss haircuts
there's a guy named Dragon who has dedicated his life to destroying them
Luffy meets people and goes "you're my friend now" and they have like no choice in the matter
Luffy: I'm not a hero! also Luffy: I will not rest until I crush this cruel tyrant who is taking food away from little kids
his grandpa is a world-famous war hero and his dad is trying to overthrow the entire government but Luffy doesn't even care
characters will show up and be like "I'm an 800-year-old time traveler from a lost period of history" and the story is like "that's neat. time for fifty pages of men crying"
Buggy the stupid fucking circus clown with blue hair and a flying penis, who spent his formative years with the literal greatest pirate in the entire world and yet somehow completely sucks shit, has more screen time than the main character's mentor and beloved elder brother combined. love it.
now that Jinbe has joined the crew Robin finally has another person with more than one brain cell to talk to
Brook became a global rockstar while being a skeleton and his fans just rolled with it
the Marines show up at his concert and accuse him of being a random pirate from 50 years ago and he's like "yes I am that pirate and I'm quitting the music gig to go back to being a pirate, also I work for the guy at the top of your shit list!"
i love you so much one piece
23. Luffy's reason for not calling himself a hero is because "hero's share their food" and he absolutely refuses to do so
24. Luffy's superpower mode turns him into a Looney Toons sketch.
25. Luffy wants to be King of the Pirates. Brook, one of his crew members, does not know what the Pirate King is. The previous Pirate King, whose name the whole world knows, is just “some rookie whose name I think I heard once or twice” to him.
26. As a rookie, Ace declared he wanted to kill Whitebeard, one of the strongest pirates in the world. Whitebeard found him after he fought for five days, kind of kidnapped him, and just let him keep attempting to murder him until Ace became unfalteringly loyal to him. Ace was also free to leave at any time and face Zero (0) consequences for trying to kill Whitebeard. He became Whitebeard’s Second Division Commander soon after pledging loyalty.
27. Luffy’s dad raised his dead brother. None of them were aware of this fact whilst growing up. I don’t think Luffy himself knows.
28. Luffy once beat a god (kinda) by simply turning his brain off so his dodges couldn’t be predicted.
29. Luffy once fought undercover in a tournament under the name Lucy after having previously declaring that his name was Luffy. Everyone bought it.
30. There’s a guy known as The Surgeon of Death. His best friend is a polar bear.
31. He also wears a fuckass leopard hat.
32. When he needed a disguise, he simply put a basket over his head.
33. When Luffy was first putting together his pirate crew, he heard of this guy called Zoro the Pirate Hunter. He decided that was going to be his first crewmember.
34. When said pirate refused to join Luffy, Luffy blackmailed him by saying he had to join or Luffy would not save him from his execution. That guy very quickly became his First Mate and has been extremely loyal to him.
35. They once took a giant ocean geyser to a Sky Island. They got down by using an octopus as a hot air balloon.
36. Luffy has a crewmember whose dad left when he was little to become a pirate. Said father is in Luffy’s mentor’s crew. Luffy has met him and thinks he’s cool.
37. Luffy spent ten years learning how to throw a punch. Once he did that, he set off for the seas.
38. Luffy nearly drowned after he set sail. He survived by hiding in a floating barrel that got picked up by a nearby pirate ship.
39. Luffy fought a whale.
40. The aforementioned Buggy climbed the ranks to earn the most powerful pirate rank below Pirate King by bullshitting. Everyone, including the government, bought it hook, line, and sinker.
41. There’s a Super Serious Samurai who was able to save the day by communicating via farts.
42. There’s a sect of furries that get a powerup and magical anime girl transformation under the full moon.
43. The government livestreamed a war. To the whole world.
44. When they cut it off so they could freely do shit that made them look bad, Buggy secretly continued the livestream. But only on him.
45. Luffy’s cook, Sanji, is a popular comic book character.
46. The aforementioned Surgeon of Death once fanboyed about Sanji with a completely deadpan face.
47. Jinbe, a pirate who formerly held a pretty high rank, who was the captain of his own crew, suddenly decided to join Luffy. Luffy never even told his crew that they were friends.
48. Luffy didn’t know who his dad was until several arcs in, when his grandpa found him and decided to tell him. Once he heard his dad’s name, he didn’t even realize that that was the name of the most wanted man in the world. His entire crew was completely baffled.
49. That girl on Luffy’s crew who knows the location of the Death Star? She was on the enemy’s side earlier into the story. At the end of the arc, she suddenly appeared on his ship, said “I’m on your crew now,” and Luffy just went “cool.”
50. Luffy loved his older brother, Ace, to death. Luffy was Ace’s reason for living. Ace tried to kill him for six months when they first met.
51. Luffy managed to break into the max security prison that had previously only had a singular person break out. He went to bail out his brother. 500 prisoners escaped that day.
52. There’s a secret Queer Club the warden has never found.
53. Luffy princess carried The Surgeon of Death for several chapters because he couldn’t figure out how to uncuff him. He had the keys.
54. A few of them were once slowly getting solidified in wax. Instead of being concerned with survival, Zoro chose to strike a cool pose.
55. Luffy’s mentor is in a ton of the openings. He has 20 minutes of screentime.
All of these are great
Soooooo, this one's for all my Ace fans out there. Especially the ones who love over powered Ace cause truthfully he was so epic and didn't get what he deserved. Also, bit of a spoiler warning for the new God Valley stuff.
The voice of all things is theoretically hereditary.
Which means, high chance Ace had it and just never knew it.

SERAPHIM AND GOD VALLEY SPOILERS: I love seraphim AUs, especially Ace ones. Also, Law seraphim since he's also one of my favorites. But the one big thing with Law is the obvious insanity duplicating the Ope-Ope fruit.
So I propose the idea that cloning the Will of D works a little differently. You can't control them. No matter the cyborg, technology, biology whatever. Since the Will of D is passed on through family bloodlines anyone with that blood has it.
This also works with Blackbeard (Yuck). Since Blackbeard and Law were officially warlords and the potential for seraphim is there. But! There's the problematic D.
Ace was asked to be a warlord but never accepted, though it would be a little funny if they took his DNA anyway. Especially since the reigning headcanon was them taking it while he was in Impel Down. But if they took it on a whim sometime before and then realized the whole Roger thing after would be kinda funny.
Anyway, in this AU it leads to a high chance of Buggy being the only additional normal seraphim.
Also, that the government still can't control the Ope-Ope no matter how they try to duplicate it. AND they still can't control Ace even after Garp and the offer of warlord.
Additionally, I think since vegapunk was a spy or whatever (I still haven't gotten past wano don't @ me) I think he'd be hesitant about Law's fruit. Might throw a lie in there about not being able to duplicate it since he's got the Will of D. Since Ace is a logia his fruit didn't work which would work in favor of this. And then who knows what Blackbeard's got going on with the able to have two devil fruit things (even though he only had 1 as a warlord, the Davy Jones family has something weird going on).
Thinking about going further back in the fic and show how Ace and Sabo met as kids and it just made me think about how they were fucking FIVE YEARS OLD.
Sabo ran away from home when he was FIVE.
Have y'all ever met a five year old?! THEY SHOULD NOT BE RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME.
Also five year old Ace getting into BAR FIGHTS. WHY ARE MEN BEATING UP A FIVE YEAR OLD THAT IS LITERALLY A BABY.
I'm so fucked up over the fact they met at that age. They absolutely had an unhealthy codependence back then. I cannot deal with those fuckers.
Actually my favorite thing to mention is Ace and Sabo's codependency. I love when people show the two with a platonic obsession. These two survived together. Fought, taught, and learned. The first person to truly care about them was each other. They would not have survived without the other. So many One Piece headcanons are just these two as little ittybittys
