We binge watched the show ‘Paradise’ today. Nothing’s made me more anxious about the state of the world other than, you know… the state of the world.
I had this really strange dream with Batman. Or where I was Batman/Bruce (?).
As per usual, people were trying to kill him. But in this universe, people found out Batman was Bruce Wayne, and all bets were off to get him done dead, ans many people tried to do it. Civilians, crime lords, even vigilants.
And among the vigilants were... Robins. A few of them.
On the beginning, it was Dick/Nightwing who saved Bruce from having his ass killed, as the news of who he was just got out, and he was getting out of Wayne Enterprises when some criminals started chasing them. I think Leonardo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles helped them escape. Idk why he was there but...
Going forth with the story.
Maybe Red Hood goons were chasing them as well, but I got the impression that either Jason was dead here, or he wasn't wanting to kill Bruce For Some Reason.
Bruce (me) and Dick make it to Oracle's stronghold. Bruce had a moment of tearful thankfulness, love and regret (for putting Dick into this life) that Dick was happy to be by his side as the world tried to off Bruce Wayne. He was even somehow having fun.
Anyway, me as Bruce decided to get there because Barbara was by our side, and we knew most enemies were not stupid enough to mess with her, and other robins liked her enough to not want to kill her even if she was harboring Bruce.
She welcomed us warmly.
One person did enter her fortress, though, and she only had time to put on her cowl when Cassie came in. She was pissed. I have no idea what Bruce did but whatever it was, I think Cassy was within her rights. She said something along the lines, "you know what to do to apologize, father" in a very Batman voice, and I'm not sure it didn't involve killing Bruce.
(She looked like she wanted to but ultimately wouldn't. Probably.)
She left after dropping something. Maybe something that would help Bruce, actually. I'm not sure where she stood on the matters of wanting to kill Bruce, but apparently a good part of her didn't want to. She was in good terms with Barbara though.
She left.
After that, there was a warning that Damian was trying to break into the defenses of Oracle's stronghold, and on this dream I knew he had not been in contact with Bruce yet, just that his mother had sent him to try and kill him. Bruce seemed happy though (or I felt that he/I was) as maybe there was a chance of meeting his son and becoming friendly.
No idea where Tim was. I am under the impression he was not a Robin yet. Maybe he was just stalking?
(Steph and Duke were also missing. Maybe they were also not Robins yet. Or they were trying to kill Bruce too. Lol)
As for who revealed Batman's identity, I think it was the Joker.
I woke up not long after Oracle said something about Superman. He was on his way, I think, and surprise! Not to kill Bruce. Something something Clark was in love with Bruce, but Bruce didn't know. Superbat Robin Apocalypse fic. The end.
In an apocalypse type scenario, assuming assuming no access to medications, would you survive?
I would die.
I would be fine short term but probably die in the long run
It wouldn’t kill me per say, but my odds of survival would definitely be lower
I would be fine (??)
i don’t know/secret fifth thing
Kou: Oh, remember that movie we watched last night? That scene... I mean the hand scene. I wanna try it, should be fun!
Goro: I do not think this is a good idea, V
Kou: Why so?
Goro: It was a cheap alien action movie. Moreover, both characters had five arms.
Kou: Don't see any problems here, we also can get five arms!
Had a weird convo with some dude about the apocalypse recently and I want you all to know if any of you fuckers are selfish or eat your neighbors in that scenario, I will make you into compost.
Apocalypse
Summary: Humanity’s gone.
Word Count: 358
Warnings: Apocalypse scenario, death implication
Pairings: Familial Moxiety
Notes: I’ll be honest, it’s been a long while since I’ve written. Words just didn’t feel right, but I got this out today! This idea has been swimming around in my head for a long time.
The world had lost its color when the Hunger struck. Virgil stood in a grayscale forest, the trees nearly barren. He pulled out a bottle of water and took a drink. He sighed, wondering how his life came to this. Just a month ago he was worrying about getting accepted into college. Now he was running for his life, evading creatures that no one knew anything about.
Virgil missed the colors. The sensory deprivation was getting to his head. He kept seeing things that weren’t there. It didn’t help that he had paranoia to begin with.
“Virgil! Virgil! I found another!” He was snapped out of his thoughts by his little brother Patton. He had a big smile one his face and was holding a four leaf clover.
Virgil smiled a little. “That’s great kid. Are you ready to go now?” Patton was the only thing keeping Virgil sane. The five-year-old didn’t exactly understand what was happening, but he still remained cheerful and childlike. He had their father’s cardigan wrapped around his neck like a cape.
Patton nodded, and they started walking until they hit what seemed to be a cloud. It didn’t move with the wind, and Virgil mentally screamed.
The fog came with the Hunger. Not much was known about it, except if you breathe in enough you’ll pass out. You’ll never wake up unless you’re carried out of the fog. If you never leave, you become a victim of the Hunger.
Virgil looked at his watch. It was 3:30. The sun would be setting in a few hours. There was no time to find a way around the fog.
Virgil squatted down so he was eye level with Patton. “Do you remember what to do when we have to go through the fog?” Patton nodded and pulled a kid’s surgical mask out of his Aladdin backpack. Patton’s lungs were much smaller than an adults, plus he was still young. The fog would take effect much quicker. “Very good.” He picked the kid up, and Patton buried his face in Virgil’s shoulder.
Virgil took a deep breath. “Now whatever you do Pat. Don’t look up.”
Daily Prompt #49 - What profession do you admire most and why? – By Geox
Daily writing promptWhat profession do you admire most and why?View all responses Picture me with a pitchfork in one hand and a dog-eared copy of Virgil’s Georgics in the other. You demand to know which profession I admire most. I answer with the quiet certainty of someone who has knelt in loam and felt the pulse of chlorophyll, the farmer. Why farmers? To begin with, theirs was the first job…
What you see (based on real events):
Me: "Alexa, turn off the lights."
Alexa: "Okay." *turns off lights*
Me: "Alexa, thank you!"
Alexa: "You are so very welcome. I hope you had a good day today."
Me: "Alexa, I hope you had a good day today too."
Alexa: "Thank you so very much, you have made me feel very special and unique. Like a unicorn."
What's going on in my head, 5 years in the future:
*Hordes of robots invading homes and buildings around the world*
Robot 1: *picks me up by the neck* "DIE, HUMAN."
Robot 2: "WAIT." *robot eyes narrow while looking at me* "HE'S ONE OF THE GOOD ONES."
