Meat Marionette 7?? 8????

Thinkin of the lil robins and other kids and just, them trying to build Jarro a meat body maybe. Idk, still rotating Jarro and if he'd have one seeing as they had to build his human form via some different body parts and such...

Anyway did some sleep deprived sketches of each- though I just realized I didn't label Cullen, oh well lol. I like to think the first couple robins are all more flesh and exposed muscle looking as the Tunnels adjust to building bodies that can still, well, grow and develop. They've only just succeeded in building a body that can move and semi function with Bruce after all, and even then it takes a couple years for that body to shift into something more alive with like, a stomach and such that needs more than time in the Hive and some Lazarus water for food and hydration. And even then it's another year or so of the bodies needing to be fed via IV before everything actually becomes semi functional as well, a body.

But anyway, his eleven children!

Dick's body starts out the most simple, but is also the first that they discover that the meat marionettes can in fact evolve seeing as he starts to grow electricity-producing organs almost akin to something like an eel. Which is probably very distressing to Bruce because like, this is his baby?? Who can suddenly tase people which is fine, but what if it gets stronger?

Jason's robin body doesn't get a lot of evolution before the Joker Incident, and then it formed a cocoon to become the next form over a year or so. I do feel like his wings were fluffier and had some down still, not enough to prevent flight, but enough to slow down say, take offs.

By the time Tim & Steph comes around, their bodies have started to develop more armor similar to Bruce's. Like the bodies are slowly developing even when the Hive first creates them from the flesh walls as the Tunnels get better at building living moving bodies. Like it's still are mostly soft larva-esque chitin still, but It's still visibly learning.

And then with Cass her body is far darker, more similar to one of the Bats than the rest of the babies. There's still bits of color- bright yellows to warn for venom and poison- but it's such a sudden left turn that they're concerned about what the Tunnels might do next.

It's a relief when it goes back to more colorful designs with the next ones, even if Duke probably has ended up the most armored straight out of the flesh.

Honestly in general I feel like they're actually very soft if someone gets close enough to touch them. Like they look terrifying, especially in night when it's dark out, but compared to their parent & aunt they're like fluffy baby birds. Something the kids in Gotham are probably familiar with, because the birds will help comfort scared people and victims while Bruce takes care of whatever caused their distress. Sometimes just crouches down and pulls out a small puzzle or something from one of his bags while waiting for the police to arrive while distracting the kids, his own and not.

Jarro if he does have a body like theirs, meat marionette or made by them, I feel like it looks more like some sort of hybrid of whatever the batclan are and some sort of aquatic creature. Like an aquatic (swimming?) xenomorph compared to a runner or a drone. Visibly the same species, but looks almost like a similar caste or subspecies if that makes sense? But honestly if yall have any ideas I am open to them. ______________________________________________________________

Reminder that this Au is a combo of both mine and @phoenixcatch7 so check out their Possessed Doll au, and actually go check them out in general, they have a lot of fun ideas and drabbles <3

Because that's the same sort of vibe that Kate & Bruce give off #Like the kids are all human sized-ish and then there's the Bats who are... h u g e and deadly #Can eat someone if they really wanted to but chances are they probably haven't #I like to think they will eat raw and rare meat though #Gosh I think them and Killer Croc could be friends #Animalistic non-human looking friends because they'd understand more of having less human instincts #Waylon deserves to get a home & a job- like he only became a criminal because he couldn't get a legal job because no one wanted to hire him #Anyway gimme ideas if you have them #ALSO can I just say: the batfam using shed feathers and fur to weave into a big nest instinctively #They use it to snuggle in the batcave

i think. everyone should stop reading my most popular fics that aren't really that good and start reading the ones with 18 kudos that are significantly better

#this is about (just wanna be) somebody i'm proud of #yes i had fun writing it. but it's REALLY NOT THAT GOOD #also i cannot stress this enough: that fic was a fluke #it's NOT a good example of what i write. guys i'm so much better at the angsty character study fics #i promise i actually can get proper characterization. i had to sacrifice some of that for the light-hearted stupid cheesy premise #alas #no one in fandom actually cares about characterization #ngl sometimes i even wonder what the point of writing stuff in-character is if the flat #'characters reduced to a single trait that they may or may not even possess' #fics will ALWAYS end up being more popular than the ones with good characterization #anyway i know why the 18 kudos one is so low. it's the mcd tag. AND it's a gen fic centered around a character no one cares about #i wasn't expecting that one to do well #but it does suck that like. my most popular fics will never actually be my best ones #it's the same with bsd but THAT'S a whole other story #that's the phenomenon of everyone reducing bsd to the skk show and not giving the time of day to fics centered around anyone else #do u guys realize there are SO many other INCREDIBLE characters and dynamics???? #like i was doing that bsd fic rec event on twt and almost all of the fics recced were skk #meanwhile i was searching for anything NOT skk bc idk other ships and characters deserve appreciation too?? #and i don't even read much skk bc it's so hard to find anything that's. like. ACTUALLY good. #anyway. i don't actually care if you read somebody i'm proud of #but i hate that that's like. one of my most popular fics by a longshot #i have stuff that is so much better that people won't even glance at bc it's not tagged with the most popular m/m ship in the fandom #hello grace here

I asked him if he can parallel park

now That's a question i think could get answered

#being on the receiving hand of the ordeal with the rp blog. especially one of the skelebros. u need to send smth that can be played with #to give u an example. i almost asked him what his star/sun sign was. you can spin it so many ways #star as in popular sun as a callback to wowie I can't believe I'm finally meeting the sun sign as in warning etc #he can also just give you a sign that doesn't actually exist. to keep in line with skelebros nonsense #yours is open to geometry jokes. lots of material there. good pick #answered asks

“Dennis is asshole. Why Charlie hate?”  “Because Dennis is a bastard-man!”

SOME THINGS I LOVE: [4/10] Friendships  Charlie Kelly and Dennis Reynolds, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia (2005-)

#dennis reynolds #charlie day #charlie x dennis #iasip #iasipedit #'can i give you some advice?' 'absolutely not' is a superior insult lmao #one of my favorite dennis quote i've decided #dennis: i hate everyone vs. dennis with charlie: best friend!!!!! i love u #like he's a dick to charlie too but here's my theory (go with me here) dennis needs validation right? like he's rly needy and insecure #so he needs ppl to validate their love/or whatever to him and mac (for example) does that all the time #so dennis feels safe being mean to mac because he knows mac loves him and always strives for his approval (also why dennis rarely gives it) #but charlie is fairly independant like he doesn't care that much what dennis thinks of him #so he doesn't always try to win dennis over the way mac does opposite is true actually #so dennis becomes very clingy and needy with charlie because he feels rejected by charlie because charlie isnt as codependent #does this make sense to anyone else? 'cause i'm onboard on my own theory here #things I love* #mygifs #usermissgalindaaa #mggifs #missgalindaaagifs #mine*

honestly bro there's nothing i respect less than going on a huge tirade to justify why u hate a woman character even if the reasoning is bad writing or whatever ..... don't make this about justice or representation or whatever ....

#also the reasoning. is always bad #u never see ppl doing this to justify hating a male character. w the exception of villains i think #like it's very obvious ur just trying to make up for smthn #i used to do this too but now i feel comfortable saying when i don't like a char cuz #i know i'm not a misogynist #here's an example i don't give a fuck abt hinata #u can try it too it's free and only hurts u if u think maybe u just have very specific ideas abt how women should be

[wrender]

hey everyone, I'm planning on doing a write up for my website about neocities accessibility sins (things like cursors not having pointer states), lmk if any of you have seen something that makes a website hard to understand or navigate

#my posts #neocities #websites #web design #accessibility #u can leave a reply here or send me an ask! nothing is off the table #a lot of the issues im gonna bring up are pretty minor #also i miiiight ask for examples of this if u can give them but if not its all good #im not here to start drama or tell ppl how to make their website #i just want to bring up some issues that people might not've thought about

[anominous-user]

#honkai impact #flame-chasers #thsc #the henry stickmin collection #you can scroll through #a-u doodle dump #for examples on how they would look #i say stupid bc this will either completely kickstart or kill my art motivation #but i need something as a sort of warm up before i go back to working on The Thing #i will be picky if its shippy and not in my tags page though #even though im neutral on most of them cuz i like giving ship art a little More than just the usual fluff #uhhhh #anominous rambling

i think it should be mandatory that everyone watch The Social Dilemma at least once every six months

#dear everyone saying that tumblr doesn't have an algorithm: yes it does oh my GOD. #i see people say this so often irt twitter and reddit migration #just because tumblr has a different feed system to facebook/inta/twitter doesn't mean the only things you see are exactly what you want #free of influence or coercion #simplest example is tumblr suggesting users and tags for u to follow. what do you think is informing its suggestions? #how does it know which blogs are similar? it's not by fucking chance #please i know we all clown on what a mess this website is and how poorly it delivers ads but let's not forget that that's a choice they mak #if tumblr wanted to deliver ads in the way other social media sites do they could. but it's part of the image they've created for themselve #hence why they feel they can offer a paid subscription to remove ads that has an off switch so u can still see their weird crazy zany ads #because they know how much we love to clown on their shit ads. they know users will screenshot and share ads if they're weird enough #and they want you to. they're not so incompetent that they can't get us classy ads lol. this is their brand. let's not forget that! #anyway this is all triggered by me sending someone (hi bunni <3) a post of misha collin's sfx make up in gotham knights that popped up as a #recommended post despite me never having watched it or searched for it etc. what triggered that post appearing was me searching/tagging spn #a couple times recently. and of course misha collins and spn are frequently cross tagged. anyway since then i have been bombarded with that #godforsaken show constantly on my dash #sorry to gotham knights enjoyers i get the appeal and i am a dc simp but it's just not for me ig #if u read all this i love u im kissing you sloppystyle and or giving u a firm and warm handshake and or a friendly nod like we're walking #past each other on a beautiful day <3 #my post

this sounds pretentious agshdhd but to me writing is a lot like music

#a lot of your emotional impact comes not just from the words you use #but the cadence in which you construct #it’s not only what is being said by the characters but the rhythm you give to their actions #in the wider emotional landscape of the piece #like. im thinking specifically of smut rn since I’m struggling so hard w writing some shdhdjf but for that specific example it’s VERY MUCH #like music imo #there’s a particular kind of rhythm you notice in writing that’s obviously very new at that particular kind of subject matter #and depending on what the focus of that writing is gives the piece its rhythm #and I personally think u can draw a correlation between work that’s primarily intended to be titillating #and the seamlessness of the piece’s rhythm #it builds very often to a specific kind of crescendo both in pace and in subject matter lmao #wow I am nerding out about this shdhdjdjdjdm #tunes titters #not sfw

thank youuu @jackredfieldwasmyjacob for letting me know about this video because <3333 once again the two aragonese contestants from OT singing a jota, this time "la magallonera" (translation: "the woman from magallón". juanjo, the guy, is from that town!)

#looooove love love love. no words either bc they both have really nice voices #this jota is one of the 'softer' ones tho where u dont need a shrill voice or to sing so much from your chest #(im not an expert in jotas but i can give some examples of other jotas if yall want!) #z puya cosetas #operación triunfo #ot #Youtube

kpop stans wouldn’t recognize live vocals even if they smacked them in the face

#granted that companies are now smart and use imperfect prerecorded vocals but like it’s not that hard to tell sometimes #if companies let those ppl sing live and stopped giving them choreos that are unsuited for live singing (and yes i have a specific example)😐 #and like i 100% understand that dancing and performance are very/equally (sometimes more) important than good vocals but i still think they #should not be disregarded entirely #like u can make choreos that are good and fun and intricate and still allow them to sing live! #anw hashtag let * sing live

as a certified Aromantic Asexual (I should make myself a certificate) I genuinely don't Believe there is systemic oppression that specifically targets Aromantic or Asexual people.

I do however believe that people Cannot be normal about ppl who don't have sex or romantic relationships, and that can Really Impact Aromantic And Asexual People.

Also like. Aros n aces are still. Experiences Other forms of oppression that can interact with the aro and/or ace-ness

#Like. Woman doesn't get married. Maybe aro maybe illegal for her to marry who she wants maybe no fuckin reason. She's probably gonna get #Some shit for it but that's primarily misogyny. While it does affect aro ppl disproportionately bc. Yeah. It's not based on them being #Aro it's a conicindental intersection. Also can y'all be normal about sex and virgins #Anyway slightly related dreaming of a world in which it was better acknowledged that sex repulsion while common for ace ppl #Was not synonymous w being ace so we avoided the ace discord phenomenon that a bunch of gay/lesbian/bi ppl mis identified as ace #Bc they couldn't deal w the idea of having sex w a person of the same gender #With the idea of actually having sex bc it was treated as gross (sex repulsion as a result of society) or that trauma survivors #Misidentified as ace bc they had issues w sex bc trauma. Also that sex repulsion wasnt like an identity but rather a Symptom that could be #Either a problem or neutral. Who else's brain was boiled by ace and also inclus/exclus discord and came out thinking everyone was fucking #Stupid. Like both sides had Points but it was mostly just bullshit and no one fucking talking. Also ppl kept talking about ace ppl #''stealing resources'' and multiple ppl joked Abt that which is a problem bc that means. A BUNCH OF LGBT PPL DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHAT RESOURCE #THEY HAD (anyway looking back on it. Idk if ace ppl were even taking up resources or anything like the common example was LGBT shelters #Bc like if u were gay u might be kicked out of a normal shelter but if u were ace u would probably not get kicked out so if an ace person #Went to an LGBT shelter then they might've taken a bed from someone who needed it more which. I guess is theoretically possible but also id #If that ever fucking. Was something to actually give a shit Abt. Correct me if I'm wrong) #ALSO the idea of ''all gay ppl should go to hell'' ''oh do bi ppl only half go to hell?'' sure thats probably a problem but also. A LOT OF #THOSE WERE EVERYONE DOING IT INCLUDING GAY PPL? LIKE THE FUCKING ''ALL GAY PPL SHOULD BE ON AN ISLAND AND THE POPULATION AUFNFJNSAJ'' #like does anyone else remember that. Everyone was making those stupid fucking jokes. This is just a rant Abt me being on Tumblr without an #Account for years and the psychic damage I've accrued. Anyway fuck AO3 goodbye
