BNHA AU ART (mostly)

Right now I’m doing fanart for BNHA. I mostly do traditional art, and also some sewing. I’m going to come up with my own AU for BNHA sometime this summer, hopefully. I also do some Sanders Sides stuff from time to time

Help Finding a Fanfic Please

This was a Pokémon fanfic that I read probably about a decade ago and I’ve never been able to find it again. I don’t think it was finished, I’m pretty sure that Ash could talk to Pokémon and he had a Weedle that didn’t want to evolve that he rushed to get an Everstone for, and he beat Brocks Onix with said Weedle, and I’m 99% sure that the fanfic was on Fanfiction.net. If anyone knows what fic this is I’d really appreciate a link to it, thanks a lot.

I just found this post reblog from 4 years ago and I said 10 back then, but maybe I counted wrong because now it’s 12 things that I haven’t done, and I’ve only sung karaoke for the first time this year, so logically it should have been 13 things four years ago, what did I do?!

[spikethecrazycat]

In Pokémon XY there is this one trainer, Gardener Grover, and his starting dialogue is like “if you beat me, I’ll tell you the real name of this garden!” And it’s either a joke because he says the name in the opening dialogue or he just never tells you! Because when you beat him, he’s like “well, I guess you’re good at Pokémon, and I’m good at gardening”

For some reason he just infuriates me every time!

[spikethecrazycat]

Sometimes(most of the time) I’ve forgotten what I’ve named my Pokémon and so when I bring out specific ones for a gym battle and the screen tells me Lucifer wants to learn Power-Up Punch(or whatever) or it says Hydra leveled up to level 29, and I’m fighting at an electric gym, I’m just like, who did I bring with me that has those names? Lucifer is my Lucario and I didn’t use him in the gym and Hydra is my Dugtrio and I really only just got him

The new wayne sibling concerns his family danny the new sibling can get anything you just have to ask the thing is no one can figure out how like it started small like tim saying god I'd kill for [hyper specific coffee brand he got one time 2 years ago from a coffee shop on a mission] and the next day danny places the coffee down infront of tim

Now danny refuses to answer how or where he got it from but the others of course have to experiment and so they start experimenting like they mention more and more obscure until eventually damian asks for a legendary magical sword and danny doesn't doesn't have it in the the usual 2-3 days they think it's bust but Don't mention anything

(Can't exactly reveal you were doing experiments our new brother and taking advantage of him as well)

Until a week later daimian wakes to a gleaming sword of legends on his bed

Meanwhile danny who is freshly traumatised is going if i prove myself useful they won't throw me out right?

Reply from @violetamaxwell

Danny makes some comment one day about something he misses from Amity Park. Everyone jumps at the chance to return the favors.

If this is before everyone realises why Danny feels compelled to get this stuff for them, Danny's reaction could be what tips them off that there some trauma response going on here. Maybe Danny is bewildered and even stressed by the gift, trying to think of some way to repay it and mentally berating himself for making the comment in the first place that made them feel like they had to go all the way to Amity Park just to get him this.

If it's after and the Bats have been trying to figure out how to make it up to Danny and also convince him that he's family now no matter what; this could be the big turning point where Danny finally realises that these people genuinely care for him and want him to be happy and he doesn't have to be useful or earn his keep because he's family and they love him.

[regonold]

I prefer the before so that everyone has a collective moment of oh shit we were taking advantage of our new traumatised brother of fuck alfie is gonna be so disappointed

And just imagine danny so stressed cus he said oh i miss the nasty burger at Amity park and the next day one just appears and the fam are all spying thinking oh ye we did a good job Danny's gonna be so happy but instead he's just oh fuck oh no I'm a monster I'm taking advantage of them oh god

*pointed batsibling stares at all the shit they got danny to hring them*

[mutable-manifestation]

Oh man okay but-

But this is the Wayne family, right? and I know you probably meant an actual burger but my mind first went to "they bought the rights to open a Nasty Burger so now there's one in Gotham relatively nearby and I just-

I'm just imagining this is post-TUE. Like. Clockwork didn't undo Danny's failure to save them but he refuses to go with Vlad. But before he goes full nuclear (running away to the GZ forever) he just like. Demands blood tests. If Aunt Alicia can't or won't take him there has to be someone else who he's at least vaguely related to that would take him in.

Normally they'd just go with his parents' will but the person on his case is from Amity and thus aware that Danny and Vlad have major beef. And Danny is desperate. Like begging on his knees threatening to run away never to be seen again even it he has to take the phrase "go to ground" literally to not be caught (and Danny just means phasing through the dirt to the other side of the planet but the caseworker takes it as a suicide threat so now everyone involved in his case is absolutely tiptoeing and Very Against sending him with Vlad because what the hell did the guy DO to make a kid who just lost his everything unwilling to turn to someone at least familiar. To make it so he'd rather go with a stranger???)

Turns out he does have a relative - Tim Drake is his second cousin. Currently in the care of Bruce Wayne. He's not technically related to Wayne but given the guy's habit of taking in kids and Danny's horrible panic around going with Vlad they figure it's worth a shot. Plus Bruce might be the only one who could handle whatever legal battle Vlad might try to make of it.

That's how he ends up with the Waynes, desperately trying to be useful so don't throw him away and extra worried about it because Bruce isn't even really related to him and Tim's distant enough that they didn't know the other existed.

And when he says he misses Nasty Burger he's lost in thought, muttering it under his breath. But he misses Nasty Burger because he misses the afternoon's spent there with Sam and Tucker, or even the occasional family outings there when he and Jazz could convince their parents that, no, the hotdogs are too organized to deal with and they're all too tired let's get some food and sleep before we handle the revolt.

Danny misses Nasty Burger in the sense that he misses what was - but he's also traumatized about it.

And of course the Batfam would know his family died in a Nasty Burger, but everyone processes trauma differently.

It's entirely reasonable to think Danny might not have associated the disaster with the chain itself, but rather with just the sauce tank or maybe even just the explosion. The sauce is no longer permitted in the US, so the tanks wouldn't be there even if they were a part of the trauma.

And this is the first thing Danny has ever requested from them.

So they get a Nasty Burger up and running.

But when they go on a family outing-

When they pile out of the car-

When Danny finally takes in his surroundings, having spent the ride over staring at his knees and trying his best to be unobtrusive-

He curls into a tiny ball on the awful parking lot pavement and has a panic attack - only distantly aware that the Wayne's are panicking around him which honestly just makes it worse because oh no he's causing trouble what if this is what makes them throw him out - until he finally, mercifully passes out.

[ailithnight]

Bruce has fostered a lot of kids over the years. And while Bruce still keeps tabs on and even occasionally offers assistance to all of them, that doesn't make them family.

All of the batkids know there's this thing Bruce does. Where he figures out something you love and then spends a frankly ludicrous amount of money creating a space for that thing. When he surprised Dick with the gymnastic studio, Jason with his private reading room (separate from the Manor's main library), Tim's photography, Damian's art, Cass's dance, Steph's [???]*, Duke's [???]*; that's when they knew, truly felt, that they were family.

Everyone knows that giving them these dedicated spaces in the Manor, it's Bruce's way of saying "You will always have a place here. A home here."

And as well as they know this, they know Bruce has been itching to give Danny his Space since day 1. But Danny is so withdrawn. So reserved. Several months in and even the infamous Bats, all working together at this point trying to figure it out, still don't know what kind of space Danny would like. Not even Alfred had the slightest clue. Danny just, doesn't engage in hobbies or interests. That muttered admittance of missing his hometown's local burger chain was the very first time he'd expressed any desire since joining them.

Bringing Nasty Burger to Gotham, it's not Danny's space in the Manor, they'll still have to keep working on figuring that out; but Nasty Burger is something. It's something and Bruce has been so eager to give for so long now. He just wants, they all want Danny to know that they care for him, they appreciate him, he is one of them now and forevermore.

They just wanted to give him something.

But a panic attack so bad he fainted is not what they wanted to give him.

*Don't know Steph and Duke well enough to know what kind of spaces they'd get, but let's assume they have them anyway.

[dragonsrequiem]

Ever since the explosion, Vlad had been becoming more and more… unhinged. His Obsession- his only reason to exist- was destroyed.

Desperate for some way to hang onto the only piece of Maddie left, he fought as fiercely as he could to force the custody issue. It got so bad that the case worker worried that his fixation on this traumatized teen is a sign that there was inappropriate behavior beforehand that the other Fentons just didn’t know about.

He was sent to a grief counselor, who read the notes and saw red flags in his verbiage. It’s what got him to Gotham City.

Enraged, Vlad tried to overshadow B, but B spent enough time around mind readers to always pay attention to that fuzzy tingling in the head that came with someone attempting mental manipulation.

When the Waynes ended up with Danny, part of them wondered if it was a trauma thing, but reminded themselves that they didn’t know what he was like before. Maybe this was just him?

So him having a panic attack and passing out in the parking lot confused and devastated them even more. How could they make this right?

Ironically, it took a rogue attack to figure out something helpful. Danny’s clothes had seen better days but they knew he hated the pricey clothes as much as they did, so Dick and Tim took him to the mall nearby. Decided that a day spent together getting to know the new brother might help more than talking had done. (Let’s face it: the Batfam on the whole are NOT known for sharing their emotions.)

They were passing the local gadget shop when they heard a ruckus. Condiment King was on a rampage. Thinking on their feet, Dick noticed that Danny hadn’t mustard (heh) any awareness of the world around them. Tim pulled Danny into the store while Dick noped out for a wardrobe change and to stop this.

He sent a text to Tim, “Figure out what he was looking at. I’ll ketchup shortly.”

Well, within 15 minutes the attack was over and Condiment King didn’t relish being disarmed and made to wait with mall security.

Dick changed back quickly and caught up with them in time to see Danny staring lovingly at a telescope that was being advertised as the “closest commercially available for private ownership alternative” to the James Webb telescope.

His eyes almost sparkled with delight as he got into a discussion on the technical details that made this better than the others on the market. It was the most happiness they’d seen on his face since arrival in Gotham, but it shut down quickly when Dick asked if he’d seen anything he liked. Tim actually kicked his leg for that when Danny was sidetracked.

Fortunately, Tim had noticed something else… Danny had asked the shop keeper if they happened to have any schematics for the telescope while Dick had been tending to the food court reject.

Tim knew Danny wouldn’t accept a gift yet, but maybe he could help on the next project Tim was planning to propose to Wayne Enterprises- a program to develop and distribute an astronomy system, combining the latest in technology for telescopes with software that would make those views of the heavens accessible to kids in areas with too much light pollution to see the stars or too small an income to afford the top-of-the-line advantage of communities with more population.

Sure enough, when Tim *accidentally* left the initial blueprints on the table while sneaking a mug of coffee from the kitchen, he returned to find Danny had caught a few calculations that Tim had left out to check Danny’s level of interest.

Tim thanked him for help and played it off. The next day, Bruce thanked Danny as well and asked if he wouldn’t mind working on the project with Tim, who’s been pulling too many all nighters lately (what’s this lately malarkey???)

Worded like that, it led Danny to feel like he was getting to help the family while they used this as a way to start learning about him. And if Bruce got him a telescope better than the ones at the gadget shop? “The Wayne Tech branch developed this as a prototype model for the telescopes in the program. Feel free to tinker around with it if you’d like; sad to say, but with most of us having grown up in light and otherwise air polluted ways, we don’t know much about telescopes.”

With Danny feeling like he had a way to contribute, his walls started to come down a bit.

Unfortunately, Bruce Wayne was not the only rich man to discover what made Danny tick. (*Cue dramatic music* dun dun duuunnnn)

[spikethecrazycat]

I don’t know if you picked Condiment King for this reason or not, but he would be a terrifying villain for Danny to encounter, his whole family and his friends were killed by an explosion caused by a special sauce, a condiment, if you will. Danny Fenton the only one to actually fear Condiment King.

The Worst Decision That J. K. Rowling Made Within The Original Harry Potter Series

This has nothing to do with her now, or her views, or the movies, or the additional books that she wrote, this is just about the original series.

The fact that she made Ravenclaws’ mascot an eagle and not a RAVEN! Like, it’s literally right in the name, and ravens are one of if not the smartest birds. It just makes no sense to me, if she had made the mascot an owl, I would at least understand because owls are wise or whatever, but an eagle?

The other mascots all make sense, for Griffindor they probably didn’t want to have one house with a magical creature and made the mascot one half of the griffin (because the other half was taken by Ravenclaw [which honestly makes it have even less sense in my opinion]). Then they have a snake for Slytherin, probably because of the founder’s ability to talk to snakes. As for Hufflepuff, I guess they could have picked whatever they wanted to as long as it was hardworking and/or loyal, so a badger is fine.

Most Ravenclaw merchandise has a raven depicted on it, I hardly ever see eagles being mentioned as the mascot in and out of fanfics, I don’t know if Rowling remembers that she made eagles the mascot for Ravenclaw and just doesn’t care that everyone gets it wrong if if she just forgot about it along with everyone else.

Maybe we should have seen the signs about Rowling from the very beginning with her first questionable decision.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Click For Quality

I’ve decided to post each step separately, so here’s the finished line art with all of the included details that don’t need to be colored, next week I’ll start to color it.

@bongo-clash I thought you might like to see my drawing with all of the little details, like little runic circle feathers, jellyfish bells, flowers (of some kind), peacock eyes, frost bitten lips (the most human feature that the being has), clouds, pearls, smoke, and a strange curving feature where the neck might be that unfolds into an eye.

I like to take every little detail from a description of something and make sure to include it, even if it doesn’t completely fit my first idea, get ready for more details that will only show up in color!

[ktkat99]

Headcanon that the real reason all the other Justice Leaguer's avoid Gotham is because there is a running joke with the Gotham press that every hero in Gotham is either Batman, or a Robin.

Superman stops an attack drone from burning down a city block?

NOPE! News headlines read "Is Robin's new ability to fly proof he's really a vampire??"

Black Canary busts a smuggling ring?

"Batman's second female Robin. Will she last longer than the first?

Green Arrow catches a bank robber?

"Green Robin's facial hair and exactly what citizens think about it, page 3."

[spikethecrazycat]

Green Arrow being called Green Robin is probably the funniest thing I’ve read all week

Bots are different now, I think

In the last week, I’ve gotten ten or more new followers and all of them have profile pics of beautiful women and no title or posts, they have to be bots, right? At least some of them, it just feels a little strange.

AO3 Fanfic Tags #3

Here’s a tag that I’ve been seeing a lot, but unlike the “a+ parenting” tag, this one seems more 50/50 about what people decide it means to them.

“Blank Is A Little Shit”

To me, that tag seems pretty light hearted, like “my little brother is being a little shit today” or “my best friend just pranked our teacher, he’s such a little shit” and I’ve seen people use it that way.

But I’ve also seen it used for much more antagonistic characters that make me think that the fic is an AU where they are not as bad or are friends with the protagonist, but then I read the next tags and it’s like “John Is A Little Shit” “John Bashing” “John Kills Your Favorite Character”

I propose we introduce the sister tag to this, because one or two words can change the whole meaning of a sentence “Blank Is A Piece Of Shit” Though, I’m sure that it’s already a tag.

[spikethecrazycat]

AO3 Fanfic Tags #2

I made the first post in this series like a year ago, but I have found another tag to talk about:

“Fantastic Racism”

I just think that this tag is so hilarious because I didn’t understand it at first, and maybe I still don’t understand it so correct me if I’m wrong, but this tag is basically warning people that there is going to be racism in the fic, but that the racism is against fictional races, like elves, centaurs, wizards, and anything else that doesn’t exist.

It is not in fact a tag telling you that this fic that you are about to read has some fantastic racism in it, in case you are into that sort of thing. I was very confused the first time I saw that tag, and the next few times as well, mostly because some of the fics took place in modern times, so I didn’t really get it until I realized that they meant “Fantastic” as in “Fantasy” and not that it’s great.

Your Writing Doesn’t Have To Have A Deeper Meaning

Your writing doesn’t have to have symbolism or a moral or mean anything other than exactly what you wrote.

I wrote a fanfic for my creative writing class final (though, I did change the names) and half of the class thought that it was about how drugs are bad for you.

Which makes no sense in the context of my story. My story was about two cannibals meeting another cannibal and them going out and killing some guy and eating him. But as they look for someone to kill, they find some druggy passed out in an alleyway, but they don’t eat him because they don’t want to get sick from the drugs.

I just wanted them to be logical cannibals and maybe make a joke about them only eating organic food, it doesn’t even make sense that they thought it was about how drug use was bad, because the druggy lived in the end (or he at least wasn’t killed by cannibalistic teens) it was the clean guy that died!

The rest of the class thought that they were vampires.

And in a class of less than 20 people and an assignment with no prompts, two people wrote about cannibalism, which I thought was funny

[spikethecrazycat]

AO3 Fanfic Tags

All of us in any fandom, as a community, have come to the agreement that the tag “Blank’s A+ Parenting Skills” means that that person is a horrible parent, so much so that if you put that tag for someone that is an actual good parent, they have to add an extra tag saying something like “for real” or “this isn’t sarcasm” or “actually A+ this time”

[spikethecrazycat]

Fanfiction Tags on AO3

I’m going to start a series of posts talking about things I’ve noticed about fanfic tags, originally it was going to just be one post, but I’ve thought of too many things.

These are things that don’t make sense to me, things I find funny, and tags that we as a community have all agreed mean something that they wouldn’t for other people.

This is just my starting post that I will reblog with links to my other posts at some point.
