#don't know their cryptids

[ironhoshi]

The amount of horror I felt when my 23-year-old coworker had no idea who Bat Boy or Mothman was.

forever obsessed with percy being weird. off-putting. strange even. a cryptid maybe. an urban legend if I may. my boy is the son of one of the oldest, most powerful gods, has been in FBI's records since the age of twelve, fought and won two wars against immortal beings, went to hell and back. I think he's allowed to be a little odd.

a few mothman sketches to celebrate us finally running into it in our Delta Green campaign. surely this isn't an omen of anything

#mothman #cryptid #delta green #operation: silent mountain #obsessed with drawing mothman like it's 2016 again. getting back to my roots #i don't imagine it having feathers. it's covered in smooth thick fur like an otter or pterosaur pycnofibers #over stretchy membranous ''wings'' like a colugo #sketch #roz can have little a specbio. as a treat #obviously in this case i don't think it's an actual biological organism but we don't know much about it yet #artists on tumblr

Prompt 240

You know what I think could be a really interesting premise?

Liminal-as-fuck Batfamily (and maybe all of Gotham itself) who aren't part of the Justice League. Like I am saying full on cryptid batfam who terrorize the criminals of Gotham and aren't well known outside of the city besides rumours.

And now throw in the Phantom team, either via Sam or Ellie or otherwise bringing the anti-ecto acts to their attention. I'm saying feral ghostly children barely being held back by Alfred from destroying the GIW buildings with their bare hands. Yes, that includes Bruce and Kate.

#dpxdc #dcxdp #prompts #cryptid batfam #cryptid batman #It'd be hilarious if Supes and Wonder Woman are the only ones aware of the batclan #The rest of the JL are freaking out when a government building implodes #Give me liminals who also have ghost instincts and ready to throw down at perceived slights #Territorial as fuck Bats who will hide team phantom under their capes like broody hens #Also let them share their emotions and real meanings when they talk #Like I'm not just saying slightly ecto-contaminated bats I'm saying LIMINAL AF #There have been multiple portals opened in Gotham and there's a literal undeath swamp and lazarus pits beneath it #the water alone is ecto-contaminated as fuck #Not to mention the potential for misunderstandings from the JL if they don't know much about the batclan or Gotham #And with the whole anti-ecto acts going on

The Wayne doll house

Have some haunted doll au, since it's been bubbling away in my mind.

The bat cave is large and sprawling, many layers and tunnels and hollowed out cracks in the walls. It takes many years to fully reinforce to prevent stray kids from tripping into stagnant waters or fall down crags as he once did. The doll cave, as it becomes known, is in one of the deepest, darkest corners, one where the lights of the furnished caverns above don't reach.

It's one late night sitting at the computer when it suddenly occurs to Bruce that his first encounter with a doll was at the well entrance, many levels above.

There was nothing there when he went back.

-

The justice league stared at the subaru. The subaru, having no eyes, did not stare back.

The seven of them had just finished a very long, arduous mission, and narrowly escaped government censure after the base they'd been raiding had turned out to belong to some corrupt official. With the alert up, they couldn't escape through city airspace, or even in their hero suits.

So civilian it was.

Batman had hotwired some bloke's car while the rest of them ducked into alleys and shop bathrooms, but the problem remained. There was seven of them. And five seats.

"I can shift into something more suitable for being carried," suggested j'onn, "but I believe one of us might have to hide."

"Foot well?" Hal tried, and everyone looked around at the tall, bulky, broad heroes.

"Think they'd have to go in the boot," Barry finally said. Everyone immediately turned to him. "No."

Batman spoke up before the discussion could devolve.

"I think.... I would be best for that."

The team stared.

"Batsy?"

Having no lungs meant he could not drag in the tired sigh he wished, but whatever force allowed this body to talk was capable of approximating something suitably resigned.

"As I am, I am... incapable of fully passing as human. It would be best if I remained out of sight."

"So just? Go change? I swear we won't be weird about whoever you are under the mask. Even if you're like, bald."

"Thank you, Wally, but I'm afraid I'm being serious." Reaching for the mask in broad daylight was unpleasant, but the glue and wires held as he gave it a few thorough tugs. "It doesn't detach."

Everyone stared. Clark reached out as if he wanted to check, but withdrew.

"Do you even have a civilian identity??" Oliver eventually asked. "Because at this point I'm genuinely not sure."

Wayne Enterprises and Queen Industries had a meeting that same evening. "Hn."

"Can we go back to the 'incapable of passing as human' part?!"

"We can discuss it in the car," he snapped, stalking past Barry and popping the boot. "In case you haven't forgotten, we're on a time limit."

For once, that seemed to encourage them, and batman, with great dignity, folded his joints and cape into the small space, ignoring Hal's mutter of 'what kind of contortionist -' as he slammed the lid. With a little shuffling he managed to activate his comms.

"I will inform the watchtower of our delay."

"Batman, they're tapping all outgoing signals, you can't -"

"It won't trigger," he interrupted, before he twisted his consciousness and sent it spiralling across the country.

Bruce awoke with a groan, stretching his limbs and taking a moment to marinate in his annoyance before he reached for the comm and voice modulator on the beside table.

"Batman to watchtower, we've encountered delays. If the Texan state government calls we haven't entered the state in six weeks. Batman out."

-

"Alien?"

"No."

"Reanimated corpse?"

"No."

"Uh... Demon?"

"Hm. No."

"You're not just a meta human, are you?"

"No."

"Vampire?"

"No."

"Robot??"

"No."

"Batsy, please, someone's got to win the bet eventually. How do we even know you're not lying?!"

"You don't," Batman said, not looking up from his paperwork and Flash groaned, letting his sticky notes fall to the floor as he buried his head in his arms.

"One day," he bemoaned to the keyboard, "one day we'll figure it out."

"Until then please keep your eyes on the monitors."

Flash groaned again.

Robin ducked under superman's arm as he scuttled down the corridor, laden with the night's haul of snacks. The real problem wasn't getting them - stopping league members from raiding the kitchen would be extremely counterproductive - but keeping them until he could return home to his human body to eat them. Batman had started searching him each time they left and it was really cutting into his daily sugar intake. Unfair! Just because he didn't actually use energy to stay up my night to fight crime, it felt like he did!!

'Oh, you're broken, Robin, oh, don't go out until the glue has fully set, Robin' his arm was fine! It wasn't like there was much crime to be fought on the watchtower anyway! At least not physically.

So he was pretty pleased with himself until he went to set the snacks down and found that the tar like glue they used had soaked through the sleeve and gotten all over his chocolates.

With his other hand, he tried to pry them off, wincing as the wrappers tore and stuck. He tried to shake it, ignoring the way his elbow rattled in the joint.

"Come on, come on - aw, cheezits."

The arm fell off. Robin stared despondently at the limb, surrounded by torn wrappers and dripping black glue where it connected to the elbow. The sour stink of formaldehyde filled the air.

He was going to be in such trouble with Bruce.

The click of the door jerked his head up.

Flash stood in the doorway, wide eyed. Robin stared back.

Flash screamed.

Oh yeah @dehydratedmockingbird have a thing

Thinking about forest entities. Lonely and smart creatures, tall as trees and with large lifespans… And this one desperately needs company. They live in harmony with other animals but it’s not enough for this entity. They need to socialize; they need a pair. Oh, but another one of their kind it’s not an option. They’re territorial beings, they hate each other. No, they need some other entity that doesn’t invade their space but can still hold a conversation, someone that can stay by their side.

So, they decide to acquire a human. They haven’t met one up close, but how hard can it be? They begin following around every single one that enters their forest; this causes a lot of panic between the townspeople. Is there a monster in the woods? The creature is usually good at camouflage and being unperceived, but their late curiosity has caused many people to become aware of their watchful presence, even if they can't directly see it. And the humans are freaking out.

It's not so bad, the blurry, totally-not-fake images of “the monster caught on camera” end up catching your attention, and there you are now. Wandering around the forest, trying to catch a glance of this creature.

The entity decides that this is a good one. They like you. It follows you around quietly, attentively, and slowly begin morphing their body in a way they think will captivate you. They forge a smiling mouth in their face, and the multiple limbs that branch out of their body grow hands like yours.

It is waiting, carefully now, for the right time to wrap its new arms around you and explore what else makes you tick. How can it become a human’s perfect mate.

Update: I'm writing it now.

#tree monster bf with 4 (or more) arms just to hug you ! #just imagine how it's teeth are shaped - it had never seen a human up close before #just a silly guy #with a silly sharp smile #i don't know how to explain this but tree-like beings are so wonderful to me #i wanted to find a ent or a dryad so bad when i was younger #so many trees where I live but where are the cryptids ugh #teratophillia #monsterfucker #monster boyfriend #jester's privilege to yap

If you have one, what’s your opinion on Keegan Russ?👀

Kee-Kee, like the two other members of the Holy Trinity of Masked Men, is a lovable gremlin in his own right.

Whereas Köthulhu is of the cackling, mountainous, cryptid kind that makes headlines because somebody snapped a picture of him out in the woods with his camo netting on and Ghost is of the grumpy peepaw, sleeping-under-a-multitude of blankets variety whose body is so used to coffee and tea that he almost always feels like he's crashing, and he arrived to work on time rather than early like he usually does because his lower back may or may not have given out that morning, Kee Kee is of the "Say Keegan P. Russ three times in the mirror and he'll appear in your vicinity rather than behind you" kind of gremlin. More than likely, he's raiding your fridge and when you catch him, it's a silent staring contest before he takes the food and goes back into the dark depths of his hiding spot which is probably your shadow or something, I dunno. lmao

#call of duty #keegan p russ #simon ghost riley #könig #konig #I don't know what the hell I wrote but shout out to the Three Masked Gremlins of CoD yore lmao. #In the name of the Peepaw the Cryptid and the Unholy Ghost.

quintessential 'Keith turns more Galra looking after his fight with the druid so he runs away from Voltron' AU except with the twist that his dad didn't die so he grew up knowing that he was half-Galra and has always had the ability to shift his form back and forth, but the exposure to quintessence + the corrupted wormhole locked him in his Galra form so now he's just jumping from civilian port to civilian port, figuring he might as well try and track down the Blade of Marmora since he can't go back to Voltron.

meanwhile, they're all looking for him, since he sent the red lion back to the Castle without him. the red lion thinks he's being stupid, but doesn't tattle on him bc she's not a snitch.

meanwhile meanwhile, Keith hasn't been successful at finding the Blade of Marmora, but he did find another rebellion... and wait. is that Matt.

(matt: huh. that galra kid has the same haircut as Shiro's baby brother. what a weird coincidence.)

#also heath and keith tell adam the truth about the aliens bc he deserves to know #they CONSIDER telling Colleen and Katie bc they do too but. well. they don't know them personally #and the Garrison IS kind of looking for the golden eyed cryptid that haunts the desert around the area... (which is of course. keith) #shiro and keith still get super close at the garrison bc shiro takes one look at this kid and is like. is no one going to mentor that

@naffeclipse I cannot begin to tell you how emotional I am over the CS ending - their happiness and chance at healing mean so much to me ;v;
