I recently learned an old French euphemism for bisexuality. It means to be powered "by sail and steam," and it absolutely comes from a specific flavor of 19th-century ship.

HMS Terror and Erebus were bisexual, you heard it here first.

Happy Pride!

Gotham's Eldritch King

DP x DC Prompt

Ever since Bruce was young, he could tell that his home of Gotham has been... alive in some way. Despite all the things that should make the sky smog filled, the sky remains mostly clear, especially during the night, when the stars are out.

That feeling has not vanished, after all these years being Batman and getting his family bigger and bigger. He's even begun to feel... something that is in the city, helping them somehow.

It was a normal night of patrolling Gotham for them all, stalking the shadows, stopping goons, and occasionally the big players, but they are also on the lookout for Talons, as the Court of Owls is planning something, and they don't know what it is.

They had gotten their answer when Oracle reported that the Court of Owls was no longer hiding, as she spotted them in the estimated center of Gotham. Of course, they are accompanied by their entire Talon force as well.

When they get there to try and stop whatever they have planned, they finally learn why the Court of Owls is no longer hiding themselves. They plan to summon a being that has existed since Gotham's founding to control Gotham. Now, they really need to stop them before that happens.

They couldn't reach them in time to stop the summoning. What emerged from the Lazarus colored summoning circle was two massive arms, both as dark as the night sky and littered with stars. Next was a humanoid head and torso, both the same as the arms, but the head has pure white flowing hair, and the eyes are a few shades different than the color of regular Lazarus Waters, there also seems to be no mouth for the being. A crown floats above the head of the massive being. Tentacles have also emerged from the summoning circle, and all of them are as dark as the night sky and littered with stars.

The leader of the Court of Owls looked overjoyed at the successful summoning. But when the leader ordered for the being to attack them, it didn't. Instead, the being had grabbed the leader and absorbed them into it, turning the leader into one of the many stars littering it's body. None of them noticed that the Talons are kneeling to the being.

The being then turned its attention to the Batfam. But none of them don't feel afraid of it. They all can feel that this being doesn't wish to harm them. In fact, they feel it's happy to see them, like how a parent feels happy to see their child after a long time of not seeing them.

"My Knights"

The entirety of Gotham hear the being say while it still looks at the Batfam.

if they don't physically threaten each other at first sight is it even a good ship?

after attending many corroded coffin shows and practices, Steve tries the drums.

he’s a fucking natural, something about repeating beats and banging things.

with the band dwindling out to just Eddie, and the occasional Gareth, Steve starts playing with them.

practice becomes the two of them in Steve’s garage, much to the dismay of his shitty neighbors. Eddie even gives Steve a few guitar lessons.

Gareth joins in on bass (which he also enjoys) at the live performances.

at those, Eddie makes sure to deck Steve out in a outfit fit enough to “be associated with us,” and eyeliner.

which Eddie all too soon regrets—when after the set, the makeup is dripping down Steve’s face, hair stuck up every which way; he’s drenched in sweat, in Eddie’s clothes.
