Stephanie Brown means to have her father out of her life by any means necessary. These means include disguising herself to trap him in a clever little scheme that means Arthur and his crew might rot in jail or the stocks before he can get back to her and her mother. But this crew is hunting something a little different, and there’s no way to predict how quickly she’s tangled in this net of her own devices.

(A historical AU based in a world where merfolk become common knowledge sometime in the 17th century and are fished and hunted commercially through the 18th. This story is placed somewhere in the 1720’s.)

i bet Bruce recalls Dick's childhood super fondly and does not at all remember that his kid would try to stab him with a pencil if Bruce tried to "help" with math homework a little too diligently

[blinday]

Bruce remembers Dick's childhood the same way fanon does lmao

I saw your Whaler AU (I think I'm remembering the name right???) and I was just wondering (if you have them readily available and/or in production or whatever) if you could give us some descriptions or charts (I think that's what they're called???) of what the characters look like? I love how they look and it seems like a fascinating AU! But most of them are kind of half bodied and can't see very well. And I know art takes a lot of time and effort, so ignore this if you need and/or want to.

well I do have some quick references of the most prevalent crew members! (with Stephanie and her stupid dad featured prominently in the center)

When I figured out that a typical sailing ship from this era took a crew of about a minimum 25-30 men, I did write out some short snappy bios of about half of them just for color, so I'd have names to grab hold of if I needed someone doing something. You can pretty much assume that Steph has beef with everyone, since she's fifteen years old and has a chip on her shoulder the size of Greenland. Here are the ones I've got for the crew I've actually sketched out:

and here are my favorites:

you know when little kids get spooked and they just start clamberin

[skecherss]

i love how you draw steph she real is just a little guy

gotham is exactly the right amounts of wet and socioeconomically unstable to have spawned an INSANE grunge scene you just know their local shit is like the sonic equivalent of getting hit over the head with a car battery

[schistcity]

bruce wayne has his finger on the pulse of gotham's underground music scene he's like "listen to this" and he puts on a cassette he bought for $10 from a guy under a bridge and its like 90 minutes of some guy crooning in a flooded warehouse with a guitar amp they found in the river and there's active gunfire in the background of half the songs

[schistcity]

gotham grunge band "arkham fire" debut album "DYING ALL THE TIME" becomes the world's first snuff record because their guitarist is killed by the joker in the middle of the fifth track and it is unequivocally considered their best song

[kyoguru]

schistcity and i have spent the last week designing and editing a music festival poster inspired by @lushloooser​ post about skrunkfest

IF YOU GUYS NEED ME FORGET ABOUT ME BECAUSE I’M GONNA DIE GRINDING ASS AT SKRUNKFEST

@schistcity I have been laughing for five minutes.

Blüdhaven rivalry ranked above human right violations

I do think cass would have no concept of traffic tickets. People would leave a ticket on her car for not paying the meter or whatever and she'd be like that idiot police man littered
