Also, if something is unlinked, assume that it doesn’t have a link (or message me to ask and make sure)

Here’s my ao3

My Works:

Vulpine Vignettes: (Main Story Completed)

On AO3 | On Tumblr

It’s a wholly self-indulgent fic urban-fantasy with a jiuwei hu (chinese fox demon) Tim Drake, Dragon Bruce Wayne, and a Werewolf Stephanie Brown. There’s magic, family bonding, good parent janet drake, world building, and a dead joker! There it’s also timkon endgame, so do with that what you will ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To Brace Upon Benign Feathers (In progress)

On AO3 | On Tumblr

this is my reverse robins wingfic au where i do my best to world build! it’s in its infancy right now, but there are a few works up on ao3 if you want to drop by and peer at it. so far, it is mostly angst and miscommunication, but it’ll get better! the last two fics in the series are both hurt/comfort if that’s more to your taste :3

Cursed Object Au/ And yet the Clock Twists Back (Complete)

On AO3 | On Tumblr

It's one of my works on tumblr (y'all seem to like it alot) and it centers around the 4 of the batboys (dick, jason, tim, damian) who were together when they encountered this cursed pendant. Jason was the last to be sucked in, and he manages to do… something just as he's thrown back in time

Phoenix!Tim au/ A Heart of Glowing Embers (In progress)

On AO3 | On Tumblr

this is another one of my tumblr fics that yall seem to enjoy :3 it’s basically what it says on the tin, where tim is a phoenix, but here’s the thing- he gets taken by ra’s as he’s trying to revive “jason”, and things begin to happen

Of Gem-Like Scales and Soft Seal Pelts (Complete)

On AO3 | On Tumblr

This is my submission (?) for 2024 Mermay! featuring Superbat subtext, selkie!jason, siren!tim, and mer!dick. it’s medival adjacent, but isn’t too historically accurate (but neither are mermaids, sirens, or selkies). most of the substance is on ao3 tbf, and it’s mostly a flood of links on tumblr

Local Eldritch Horror Monster Just Wants Hugs… (Complete)

On AO3 | On Tumblr

An au where tim is a creature that’s sort of a mix between a windigo/shadow monster of sorts? it’s fully complete if you’re into that, so you can binge it all at once. this one doesn’t really have a presence on tumblr other than me mentioning it once, so that’s that

"oh, batman, you are my finest creation, my favorite child..." & "oh, batman! my favorite son!" // "and while i know this may sound perverse, gotham is like my wife. and i would do whatever it takes--have done--to protect the woman i love." gotham city talking about batman in batman (1940) #452 & 454 // batman talking about gotham city in batman: the world (2021)

great comics to read in succession . especially RIGHT after your philosophy friend spent like 4 hours telling u abt different concepts by freud & how a lot of the batman mythos applies to it & such 😭😭

[theunfairfolk]

The minotaur was a prince.

[theunfairfolk]

Do you ever think about how we’ll never know if the minotaur could’ve learned to speak? To communicate in any way? What kind of a life could he have lived if he wasn’t torn away from his mother and tossed into a prison for the crime of being born? Do you think of the stories that describe the infant as “ferocious” as if that excuses what was done to him?

Do you think about how the only names we know him by are ones taken from his jailer, the man who locked up a child and sent countless others to their doom? At the very worst he was a pawn caught up in the crossfire of an angry god and a foolish king. But truly he was just hurt. Abused. Neglected.

The prince of a kingdom that feared and reviled him.

[theunfairfolk]

[theunfairfolk]

“but he eats people!” yeah. good.

[emptymanuscript]

Note that the monster name is his father’s (His mother’s husband’s) name.

Minotaur. Taur (Taurus) means bull. Mino (Minos), he is the legal son of King Minos. It’s his patrilineal line and a physical description.

His Jailer gave him his own name.

There’s surely something there about projection. The son is serving time for his father’s crimes.

Literally in this case. The Minotaur is a curse from the gods on Minos because Minos dishonored his contract with them. He promised that if he was made King of Crete he would sacrifice his best bull to them. He became King and sacrificed another bull in order to keep that wealth of his best bull. So the gods gave Queen Pasiphaë a lust for the bull and made her bear the minotaur.

Minos was certainly meant to be reminded forever of his transgressions in the face of his child.

But here we can return to this alternate take. Minos has Daedalus build the Labyrinth and confines the Minotaur inside it, feeding it by sacrifices sent in to be killed. Was that the gods’ intent?

Or did the gods grant him a choice? To atone for his sins by caring for the consequences, to do what he should have done in the first place and give up his pride to be the bigger person for the sake of others. To honor the contract of Father where he failed the contract of King.

And Minos chose instead to make his son the whipping boy for his own crimes. To project his crime, which caused the Minotaur, onto the Minotaur.

Is it both projection and victim blaming? I will punish you for my crimes. I will punish you because you are the consequence of my crimes. I will punish you because better you than me.

I'm not mourning my teenage years because i falsely believe all girls have a magical adolescence I'm fucking mourning it because i didn't get to be a real person. I'm really fucking glad you can talk about how being a teenager wasn't perfect, i didn't exist.

[ricky-tiki-tah]

I love how the biggest space guys on tumblr right now, Dr. Captain Ryland Grace and Simon the Convict, are played by Mark “send me to space I don’t care if I don’t come back” Iplier, and Ryan “oh my god please don’t send me to space. Why are you sending me to space?!?” Gosling.

I just think that’s hilarious

[renxiss]

happy pride and summer!

[littlefankingdom]

I think I'm going to write ONE reverse Robins fic and it will just be about 8 years old Dick being "totally normal" about the father of 4 that is fostering him. He refuses to acknowledge that Bruce is his father, he already has a father who is dead, and he calls the others his siblings, but he bites them extremely often to get them away from Bruce so he can get him for himself.

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

[razzmothazz]

we were lonely kids having fun together. do you remember?

[gloomshroomofdoom]

I’ve heard that Duke would go to sleep at night because he’s a day vigilante. Which, maybe. But he is a day vigilante. While in high school. There's no way he can do all of his homework when he has patrol, but he also has other things he’s doing during the evening, like eating and solving his cases and stuff.

Bro has gotta be pulling multiple all nighters. Or just not doing his homework (which I could also see). But more likely it’s the former.

I also think he would sneak into the batcave at night to help them work on theirs and compare notes if they have overlapping criminals.

I also love the idea that Tim hates the fact that everyone is always on him about how “he never sleeps” and “he has a caffeine addiction that should be studied” and that “he doesn’t ever take care of himself” when Duke is right over there and he knows for a fact that this is day two of him being awake with no breaks.

I also like the idea that sometimes people notice and force Duke to go to sleep.

Everyone: Tim, go to sleep.

Tim: what about Duke? He’s still awake. Pick on him.

Jason, his head jerking to where he is and seeing him for the first time: oh yeahhh. Why the fuck are you still awake, day patrol?

Duke, who forgot to turn invisible: shit

I know this is a tiny part of the wider problems born of diet culture, fatphobia, classicism, and racism but like god the idea that "healthy" food must inherently taste bad has completely ruined us as a society.

[lastoneout]

Every time you feel bad for having coffee with cream and sugar or ranch on your salad or putting extra butter and salt on your veggies I want you to imagine the spirit of John Harvey Kellogg in front of you and then I want you to kill him with a real gun and eat your delicious food in peace.

Tumblr already has a personalization algorithm it's called my beloved mutuals who have great taste and only wish to psychologically damage me sometimes
