Petroica

{RP Blog} Ex. Red Robin, Ex. Robin III Call me whatever you want at this point, I've lost all my cares (Tim Drake-Wayne from fanfic Petroica by IDoNotExistOk on ao3. Also running @kobranajapalida)

[petroicagotham]

Things they don't tell you when becoming a hero: - There's far too much drama to keep up with, and you WILL be a part of it (I have seen. So much.) - If you make a team they will be the dumbest people you have ever met, and you WILL become 10 times dumber just being near them - Inheriting a hero title is the worst. Don't do it. It will give you an identity crisis. - Trauma, but that should be a given at this point - Anything that can go wrong WILL, WITHOUT A DOUBT, go wrong somehow - No one ever stays dead. Don't count on it, even if you see the body

Anyways hi I'm going through drama, have a stupid ass team, inherited a hero title and am now having an identity crisis, have so much fucking trauma, and most people I thought were dead didn't even stay dead. I hate this industry (joking I swear)

[petroicagotham]

[starriest-lantern]

YES OMG

The Spanish incarsition

The carsades

The carsifixion

[petroicagotham]

Jesus Carst died for our car sins...

What kind of name is the Calculator anyways? I get the intent but surely you can choose something that doesn't make you sound like high school's most expensive piece of stationery.

[petroicagotham]

Reminder

You exist.

That's it, that's the reminder. I forgot for a couple of hours so I thought you should be reminded too.

[shutterbat]

Kitty got a bath and is clean now!

He needs a name…

He’s a really big kitty but he’s definitely not an adult…. Weird.

[petroicagotham]

Looks like a Maine coon, firecrest. They're one of if not the biggest cat breed.

Incredibly cute, by the way. Kind of reminds me of a crow with those colours.

Batcat III

Dick IV

Bruce VIII

Bruce VIV

Bruce X

Robin Eater 3000 (Edie for short)

[shutterbat]

Batcat is funny— I might do that

Wait— why are there so many Bruce-s? Bruce X!?

Robin Eater!?

[karambitgotham]

I forgot how many kids he’s at nowadays so I put a few likely options to be safe

The first bit of my time with the bats was a bit chaotic, but we got some jokes out of it. Our Robin at the time was briefly eaten by a giant cat. Named my first cat Robin Eater in its honor.

[petroicagotham]

1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... uh...

Fuck I already lost count. I know there's a lot more. I think your 10 is too low? Depends on how you're counting the kids.

[karambitgotham]

Gimme a moment, I’m sure Nightlight’s got a list

[karambitgotham]

Dunno about your bats, but I think we’re at nine? There’s an almost tenth and we’ve got three grandbats running around, but nine is my final answer.

[petroicagotham]

Jarro?

[petroicagotham]

Forgot this blog existed again.

Uh... what's a cool and relatable post... I hate condiments? Never hated a condiment more?

[karambitgotham]

The fucking condiment man soaked me in mustard six months, two weeks, and five days ago and I still gag every time I smell it

[petroicagotham]

You get me. If no one's got me, I know Bats have got me. No other hero truly sympathizes with me over the horror of condiments.

[shutterbat]

Woah, really? I wonder how big he’s going to get… and how I’m going to hide him from my parents when he gets big….

He’s such a pretty little guy

[petroicagotham]

They can get huge when properly taken care of. Make him used to being brushed. If you don't regularly groom him he might start shedding everywhere.

[shutterbat]

Oh, that’s smart. I don’t think either of us would like him having mats in his fur.

Okay— adding a brush to the list…

[petroicagotham]

A pet comb might do you better.

[first-boy-wonder]

[petroicagotham]

Mermanuary.

[petroicagotham]

Sometimes I forget I exist. Whoops.

TAG GAME! #1

If I tag you and you do not want to participate, feel free to ignore this. But I got a really interesting ask and would like to invite you to answer it yourselves!

If your muse were a fictional book genre, what would they be?

@morally-ambiguous-bird, @crowsinthecornfield, @grimprognosis, @jeremiah-e-arkham, @questionquery, @askd0ctorjcrane

[questionquery]

//basic answer, but probably either mystery or SF, lol.

@batwoman-or-whatever @crowsinthecornfield

[batwoman-or-whatever]

//dw, QQ, mine also feels like a basic answer but probably a noir/mystery thriller and/or psychosexual drama that explores themes of identity, purpose, morality, and what it means to be a useless lesbian in the modern era (lol).

@dividedbybinaries @pale-mans-smile @fuckinredhood @hackxr @ask-doctor-quinn

[pale-mans-smile]

// UHHHHH— I’d say he’s more of a psychological thriller with horror elements? Or supernatural thriller? I don’t know genres there’s so many lmao—

@hermesofeyes @e-nygmaofficial @bats-and-justice

[hermesofeyes]

//id say a good romance? A little heart break but mostly fluffy!

@temp-war-profiteer @c-0-lt @aguydressedasabat @h4v0c-st4rz @henchmen4hiresmiley @arkhams-knighted

[arkhams-knighted]

// psychological thriller ngl.. he's been through a lot

@robinstalons @bloodied-hands-of-gotham

@wayneenterprises-hr @theguybehindthechair

[robinstalons]

// fantasy prob. but like… modern fantasy. yk what probably also YA

@first-boy-wonder @babs-gordon-offical @gothamsfox

(y’all do not have to!)

[gothamsfox]

I'm thinking she'd be more like "Urban Grit-Lit" or "Contemporary Dark Fiction". She’s too gritty and violent for YA, and she’s too internal and philosophical for Action/Thriller.

@illegallyaliveredhood @teenager-bruce-wayne

@shutterbat

(idk who to tag you don't have to answer!)

[shutterbat]

/|\ probably something along the lines of a YA detective mystery ? Timmy is just a little stalker kid so idk lol

@petroicagotham @build-a-birb @lobo-baby

(You guys don’t have to answer !! I didn’t know who to tag :P )

[petroicagotham]

\\ Hmmm... Detective romcom. Petroica tries to solve a mystery, meanwhile everyone around him is living out a romance book and he has pretty much 0 clue that all that is going on. In the usual fiction fashion, it's greatly hinted that the 'canon' ship is, of course, the closest woman to him, but in truth everyone who read the book knows it was 100% his morally grey assistant and/or the culprit himself.

I don't really have anyone to tag, soooo... @karambitgotham (you don't have to answer!)

[shutterbat]

’s so cold. But ’m sticky ‘n sweaty..?

I can’t— my body hurts.

…how much cold medicine ‘m I supposed to have? I’ve only had one of those tiny little measuring cups worth in… two? Three days?

[petroicagotham]

Usually there's instructions on the bottle, gnatcatcher. You have a little bit every few hours depending on the medicine. You've got a fever. Is there someone you can ask for help? Housekeeper? Neighbour?

[shutterbat]

…I can’ read it. ‘s blurry.

Mrs. Mac doesn’ come back ‘til Monday, ‘n I don’ wanna bother anyone.

[petroicagotham]

Verdin, you're not bothering anyone, you're a sick kid. You deserve the help, and anyone who could help you out should. I wish I'd be able to come help you out, but it's uh... dangerous for me. Don't leave it up to chance, fairywren. Ask for some help from someone who can give it.

[shutterbat]

… I dunno who t’ ask. Nob’dy knows me well ‘nough.

Maybe I could call a clinic..?

[petroicagotham]

Call a clinic, a neighbour, or Mrs. Mac, nuthatch.

[shutterbat]

M’kay.

I will.

Call. Phone— okay, I can do this—

[petroicagotham]

Stay safe, firecrest.
