#bonding activity

[discordiansamba]

thinking about Keith returning to Earth for the first time in the AU where he's human but raised by the Blade anyways is so funny to me, because like... there's a missing persons report for him and everything. They probably found Heath's body some years after Krolia left, but there was no sign of his three year old son, so it's just been one of those cold cases for years. Then all of a sudden, here's someone who is calling himself Keith Kogane, who has apparently been living in deep space this entire time.

It's wild. It's catnip for conspiracy theorists and true crime people alike. People keep wanting to ask Keith dozens of questions, which he of course, has no interest in answering. He's really good at making himself scarce. Naturally, he doesn't even have any social media they can bother him or or even a phone that they could possibly get the number of.

Keith: Is this... normal behavior for humans?

pls give us kiba thoughts!! your bingo card on him has me going ????!!!!!

this ones gonna require an essay but as a Dog Science Enthusiast kiba is a character who is tailor fucking made to piss me off to a stupid degree

firstly i got into naruto proper as an adult who already had strong opinions about depictions of animals and especially dogs in media. id interacted with naruto before, but not any parts of it that contained kiba, so i didnt have any leftover childhood nostalgia fondness for kiba at all

secondly: kibas visual design. kishimoto has a really weird habit of giving dogs and dog-based characters very tiny pupils and irises in a LOT of white sclera, which is basically the opposite of how dog eyes work???

look at this picture of a dog with me. look at the bigness and the darkness of his eyes. now look at kiba and the ninken

all have HUGE whites of the eyes. if you see the whites of a dogs eyes, USUALLY (but not in all cases) its because you're getting whale eye

which is a sign of distress in dogs. not good!

thirdly: the way he talks with akamaru pisses me off too. i'm all for nonverbal communication methods, but this is like...this is some "what's that lassie, little tim fell down the well?? oh no!!!" type shit

like dogs CAN communicate with us, and it can be really detailed and thorough communication, but there are some things that just are not going to be possible because their methods of communication are purely body language based, unless kiba and akamaru have some kind of a psychic bond???? and i dont think they do

and i also kinda dont want them to? like weve already got pakkun and one talking dog is MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR ME...idk

#yamswers #snowshinobi #one of my comic thesises in school was entirely about reading a dogs body language #so i hate seeing the Real Actual Language dogs speak replaced or reduced or ignored in favor of ones that are more Human Centric #its also why the button dog thing stressed me out #like teaching ur dog to talk with buttons isnt a BAD thing especially since its a fun new activity for them they could be rewarded for #bonding activity #but ive seen people feel real ass guilt over it like. believing that they don't understand their dogs unless their dogs use human words #and its like!!!! no u dont NEED to use buttons to understand ur dog...theyre communicating with you all the time...if you watch and listen #honestly you need to be able to understand ur dogs body language to be able to teach them to use buttons in the first place #w/e. anyway. dogs communicate with us all the time and they do it so well. did you know they evolved eyebrows just for us??? to communicate #wolves dont have eyebrow muscles. but dogs do. and studies show that dogs who spend more time around people learn to use them more fluidly #can you imagine? evolving eyebrows specifically to communicate with a species so eye-focused? #the reason WE have huge whites of our eyes is to better communicate over distance where we're looking #ugh dogs are so fucking cool

Please elaborate on your twst Pokémon headcannons I’m very interested

I had planned on drawing everyone for this (I made a LIST!) but it. hasn't been going well. 💀 soooo here's what I have so far!

Riddle - Roserade (I was going with 'no legendaries', otherwise I would've given him a Shaymin) (and I don't think Togedemaru is actually a hedgehog or I would've given him one of those too) (...they kind of do fit though. hmm.)

Trey - Alcremie (clover/mint cream + strawberry/ruby cream)

Cater - DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD!

Ace - Impidimp (I feel like there's probably a better one for him, but I can't think of it)

Deuce - Scraggy (meanwhile I KNOW deep in my heart that this is true)

Leona - Pyroar (but like. a nasty Pyroar. just a grizzly old Pyroar with the shittiest attitude imaginable. they pretend to hate each other but secretly they are a bonded pair, do not separate)

#art #twisted wonderland #pokemon #poketwst #i'm trying not to pressure myself too much art-wise right now #but i would like to do more of the characters! #(especially considering this started with my insistence that malleus would have a dragapult) #gotta draw something i don't immediately hate first ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ #ANYWAY enough art angst! #i'm not aiming for full teams or delving too deep into lore or anything #just one or two per character that i think fit! #i was pretty torn on leona for a while because pyroar is at once the obvious choice but also. not really? #(i did consider luxray and ultimately decided it doesn't really fit either) #but i kind of love Nasty Lionboy's Nasty Pyroar #i think there's probably some. like. ~royal tradition~ that they all bond with this one specific breeding line or whatever #and leona deliberately chose just the absolute worst one #took one look at this shitty rude pokemon and immediately went 'that one' #falena was like 'are...are you SURE' and leona cops an attitude like 'i'm choosing my OWN pokemon you're not my DAD' #as pyroar is actively attempting to eat him #actually it probably tried to eat kifaji first and that's when leona decided he liked it #me: this is just for funsies i'm not doing lore (writes a whole fanfic in the tags)

i’m not gonna lie fandom alwaysoften feels like an actively hostile environment towards aromanticism. even if it’s not intentional most of the time. like the way everyone jumps towards romantic ships and prioritizes those relationships over everything else and stripping aro coded characters of their aromanticism to be like “normal people”. maybe everyone just needs to slip away just this once from the amanormativity whispering in their ears to kick aros to the curb

#the only fandom i’ve been in that isn’t actively hostile towards us is hermitcraft probably #many people here are focused on friendships and bonds and most people tag their ships properly #so if any hermitblr friends are reading my tags. thank you all genuinely #kiwi’s calls #aromantic #aspec #kiwi’s aspec posting

i need to get this out of my head before i continue clone^2 but danny being the first batkid. Like, standard procedure stuff: his parents and sister die, danny ends up with Vlad Masters. He drags him along to stereotypical galas and stuff; Danny is not having a good time.

He ends up going to one of the Wayne Galas being hosted ever since elusive Bruce Wayne has returned to Gotham. Vlad is crowing about having this opportunity as he's been wanting to sink his claws into the company for a long while now. Danny is too busy grieving to care what he wants.

And like most Galas, once Vlad is done showing him off to the other socialites and the like, he disappears. Off to a dark corner, or to one of the many balconies; doesn't matter. There he runs into said star of the show, Bruce who is still young, has been Batman for at least a year at this point, but still getting used to all these damn people and socializing. He's stepped off to hide for a few minutes before stepping back into the shark tank.

And he runs into a kid with circles under his eyes and a dull gleam in them. Familiar, like looking into a mirror.

Danny tries to excuse himself, he hasn't stopped crying since his parents died and it's been months. He rubs his eyes and stands up, and stumbles over a half-hearted apology to Mister Wayne. Some of Vlad's etiquette lessons kicking in.

Bruce is awkward, but he softens. "That's alright, lad," he says, pulling up some of that Brucie Wayne confidence, "I was just coming out here to get some fresh air."

There's a little pressing; Bruce asks who he's here with, Danny says, voice quiet and grief-stricken, that he's with his godfather Vlad Masters. Bruce asks him if he knows where he is, and Danny tells him he does. Bruce offers to leave, Danny tells him to do whatever he wants.

It ends with Bruce staying, standing off to the side with Danny in silence. Neither of them say a word, and Danny eventually leaves first in that same silence.

Bruce looks into Vlad Masters after everything is over, his interest piqued. He finds news about him taking in Danny Fenton: he looks into Danny Fenton. He finds news articles about his parents' deaths, their occupations, everything he can get his hands on.

At the next gala, he sees Danny again. And he looks the same as ever: quiet like a ghost, just as pale, and full of grief. Bruce sits in silence with him again for nearly ten minutes before he strikes a conversation.

"Do you like to do anything?"

Nothing. Just silence.

Bruce isn't quite sure what to do: comfort is not his forte, and Danny doesn't know him. He's smart enough to know that. So he starts talking about other things; anything he can think of that Brucie Wayne might say, that also wasn't inappropriate for a kid to hear.

Danny says nothing the entire time, and is again the first to leave.

Bruce watches from a distance as he intercts with Vlad Masters; how Vlad Masters interacts with him. He doesn't like what he sees: Vlad Masters keeps a hand on Danny's shoulder like one would hold onto the collar of a dog. He parades him around like a trophy he won.

And there are moments, when someone gets too close or when someone tries to shake Danny's hand, of deep possessiveness that flints over Vlad Masters' eyes. Like a dragon guarding a horde.

He plays the act of doting godfather well: but Bruce knows a liar when he sees one. Like recognizes like.

Danny is dull-eyed and blank faced the entire time; he looks miserable.

So Bruce tries to host more parties; if only so that he can talk to Danny alone. Vlad seems all too happy to attend, toting Danny along like a ribbon, and on the dot every hour, Danny slips away to somewhere to hide. Bruce appears twenty minutes later.

"I was looking into your godfather's company," he says one night, trying to think of more things to say. Some nights all they do is sit in silence. "Some of my shareholders were thinking of partnering up--"

"Don't."

He stops. Danny hardly says a word to him, he doesn't even look at him -- he's sitting on the ground, his head in his knees. Like he's trying to hide from the world. But he's looking, blue eyes piercing up at Bruce.

Bruce tilts his head, practiced puppy-like. "Pardon?"

"Don't." Danny says, strongly. "Don't make any deals with Vlad."

It's the most words Danny's spoken to him, and there's a look in his eyes like a candle finding its spark. Something hard. Bruce presses further, "And why is that?"

The spark flutters, and flushes out. Danny blinks like he's coming out of a trance, and slumps back into himself. "Just don't."

Bruce stares at him, thoughtful, before looking away. "Alright. I won't."

And they fall back into silence.

Danny, when he leaves, turns to look at Bruce, "I mean it." He says; soft like he's telling a secret, "Don't make any deals with him. Don't be alone with him. Don't work with him."

He's scampered away before Bruce can question him further.

(He never planned on working with Vlad Masters and his company; he's done his research. He's seen the misfortune. But nothing ever leads back to him. There's no evidence of anything. But Danny knows something.)

At their next meeting, Danny starts the conversation. It's new, and it's welcomed. He says, cutting through their five minute quiet, that he likes stars. And he doesn't like that he can't see them in Gotham.

Bruce hums in interest, and Danny continues talking. It's as if floodgates had been opened, and as Bruce takes a sip of his wine, it tastes like victory.

("Tucker told me once--") ("Tucker?") ("Oh-- uh, one of my best friends. He's a tech geek. We haven't talked in a while.")

(Danny shut down in his grief -- his friends are worried, but can't reach him. When he goes back to the manor with Vlad, he fishes out his phone and sends them a message.)

(They are ecstatic to hear from him.)

It all culminates until one day, when Danny is leaving to go back inside, that Bruce speaks up. "You know," He says, leaning against the railing. "The manor has many rooms; plenty of space for a guest."

The implication there, hidden between the lines. And Danny is smart, he looks at Bruce with a sharp glean in his eyes, and he nods. "Good to know."

The next time they see each other, Danny has something in his hands. "Can you hold onto something for me?" He asks.

When Bruce agrees, Danny places a pearl into his palm. or, at least, it's something that looks like a pearl. Because it's cold to the touch; sinking into Bruce's white silk gloves with ease and shimmering like an opal. It moves a little as it settles into his hand, and the moves like its full of liquid.

Bruce has never seen anything like it before, but he does know this; it's not human. "What is it?" He asks, and Danny looks uncomfortable.

"I can't tell you that." He says, shifting on his foot like he's scared of someone seeing it. "But please be careful with it. Treat it like it's extremely fragile."

When Bruce gets home, he puts it in an empty ring box and hides the box in the cave. He tries researching into what it is. he can't find anything concrete.

Everything comes to a head one day when Danny appears at the manor's doorstep one evening, soaking wet in the rain, and bleeding from the side.

He couldn't go to #them because he didn't wanna put them in danger via Vlad. #oh that thing he handed Bruce? Yeah that's his ghost core. I have a headcanon (that isnt always applied) that ghosts can take their cores #out of their bodies at will and painlessly and without issue. and its common practice actually to do so bc they can be a not insignificant #distance away from said core before problems start to act up. and its common for ghosts to leave their physical cores at their lairs for #safekeeping because as long as the physical core is fine: so is the ghost. they can reform if their body gets destroyed. it also acts as a #fast travel sometimes. where they can reform at their core in an instant. its not inspired in the slightest by SU but i do see the overlap #most cores are pretty small for safety sake: its harder to hit if its small. and they're pr resilient too but its better to be safe than #sorry. so yeah. danny essentially gave bruce the physical embodiment of his soul and indirectly said #'if anything happens to me at least i'll be safe with you' #danny doesn't know he's batman btw #starry rambles. #was gonna go into danny becoming a vigilante beside bruce but im sleeeepy so i'll do that in a reblog. he's gonna go by nightingale if #anyone is interested. stereotypical but to be frank it is a *good* name imo. has a good amount of syllables and consonants to it #and the bird theme. and since its part of an ancestral name it has even more backing for it being bird-y without being meta

Tim came to three horrible realizations when he came back to his game to find Damian with his headset.

1: Damian has been trying to bond by mimicking him and he hasn’t noticed.

2: Damian does not understand trash talk in video games.

3: Danny is now getting the full brunt of Damian’s wrath and scathing remarks.

Danny is currently having a great time playing Doomed.

There is currently a gremlin on Tim’s mic.

They remind him for his rouges, it was a comfort he’s been missing at college.

Maybe he can introduce Ellie to him!

He thinks they would get along :3

Talia: Hello, Duke-

Duke, handing her the signed adoption papers: I'm already packed, let's go.

Talia: Huh. That was much easier than I expected.

Duke: I want those extra Christmas gifts. And to see the Lazarus Pits up close. And to get my own assassin besties. And to piss off Ra's, it's my turn already.

Talia, grinning: Oh, this is going to be a wonderful relationship.

His siblings (minus Dick) are so proud and Bruce is sprouting new grey hairs by the minute. Dick is busy updating his theory board as to why all his siblings like Talia.
