The Bat-Adoption Papers are literal Magic Contracts

So! In the Deified Batman AU (the AU where the Belief of the peoples of Gotham accidentally Ascended Batman to minor godhood), the Bat Adoption Papers would be a fun concept.

Batman is a God of The Night, Fear, and Protection. Specifically, the protection of Children, which is one of his biggest motivators. Meaning, it's a big part of his Divine Domain.

So when he, a God of Protection and Children, adopts his own Child? It's kind of a big deal.

His Adoption Papers basically become Magical Contracts that claim Dick to him as his own Son, basically turning Dick into a Demigod by the fact that he is the Son of a God.

Then each time Batman adopts a kid, they become a Demigod as well. Maybe after enough time, and after they forge their own Identities, they could become Minor Gods of their own? Idk, fun idea

Why do I bring this up?

Well, when Danny eventually joins the JLA, and runs into Batman, all he sees in a God of the Night, who takes one look at him, and then pulls out a Magical Binding Contract from his Belt.

Needless to say, he books it.

#Dpxdc #Dp x dc #Dcxdp #Dc x dp #Danny Phantom #Dc #Dcu #If they did become God's I like to imagine what their Domains would be #Dick becomes The Nightwing #God of Protection Jovality and Children #Jason becomes The Red Hood the God of Wrath Revenge and Protection #Tim becomes The Red Robin God of Intellect Mystery and Restaurants (heh) #Steph becomes The Spoiler Goddess of Mystery Puzzels and Fun (even though she never got adopted. Nobody really knows how she pulled it off) #Cass becomes The Orphan Goddess of Darkness Silence and Mercy #Duke is basically already a Demigod but be would be the God of Light Darkness and Riddles #Damien would be the God of Art Redemption and Animals #Danny saw a God who had multiple children bound by Contract and then saw him pull out that same contract while staring at him #He is rightfully scared #I imagine Constantine has tried to get adopted before so he can get in on that Demigod Making Contract #But he doesn't fit the bill for Adoption #Also he's old enough to be Bruce's Dad sooo... #Bruce is only vaguely aware of how his kids managed to Ascend #He doesn't know it was the Adoption Papers that did it #Also his “Adoption Sense” could actually be a legitimate Power of his now that I think about it

i have a counter argument to the 'only one person can boop bill' thing, mabel. she's the type of person to slap stickers on people, she would definitely be the type to also boop others occasionally and bill would be no exception. she probably doesn't do it to annoy bill like dipper would, but maybe as a form of a friendly gesture, kind of like those people who will lightly punch friends in the arm when they hang out.

You know what? Good point. Mabel would get away with more than most, as a fun-loving lady! Bill understands those impulses, and being a touchy person! He indulges in similar ones himself.

Though when Bill's not in the mood to be playful and gets booped anyway? The 'sister-in-law' status grants her considerable grace.

#answers #Though in addition to that - Mabel's general chaos and level of Fun Times is something Bill genuinely likes #Catch these two having one too many margaritas and slinging arms over each other's shoulders while singing too loud and off key #She'd have some leeway even without the brother situation #But Mabel gets a pass on things she normally wouldn't purely on the merit of 'this would piss off the spouse' #The thing about Bill is he's genuinely fun to party with - right up until he decides you're the pinata #Even now there are times when she thinks she's doing something 'cute' and Bill was NOT in the mood but just has to grin and bear it #Instead of breaking fingers one by one #Dipper is singular in his ability to get away with Pretty Much Everything #It's love yest but it's also communication and personality I'm afraid #If Bill DID call Dipper out on doing something Too Far he'd get an embarrassed and apologetic husband. With kisses of sorry. #Though in minor circumstances: he starts arguing with him #Turns out that bickering is a better way to deescalate with Bill than most other tactics and Dipper's a pro #Now Bill's gotta think semi-rationally to Win The Argument instead of acting on impulse. #And in the process of debate he not only: learns where his husband's coming from but has time to cool off #Congratulations Dipper! Your Nerdy Logic brain and ability to Rise to a Challenge prevent Bill from going immediately nuclear #Plus showing off that big sexy intellect of yours doesn't hurt #Whereas I see Mabel pushing one of Bill's few boundaries and then deflecting. She ain't great at conflict #Brushing it off and laughing; Jeez it was just for fun!! Lighten up already! #Exactly what Bill says when HE'S being a dick to someone! #Which is why he'd react Very Badly to that excuse #Ha ha! Fun! Of course Bill loves fun! You know what HE thinks is FUN #Barbecue. Flash-fried pork ribs. Where's that stupid pig #Dipper has to disarm that particular bomb and I highly doubt it's a pleasant process

Dr. Ratio accidentally gaslit players into thinking he doesn’t care about other people when that his core morivation. You go king!

#Can’t wait for the 2.1 voicelines to drop and dumbass bitches to be like “he cares about Aventurine that much?” #Like yes have you been paying attention #This man is a chronic loser of the IDGAF war #Y’all see a slightly rude character and treat them like they are a psychopath #Is ratio autistic coded? I think he is? Can I say he is? Because I feel like the confusion is because of that #Me: ah yes a blunt way to get his point across because he respects his and the person he’s with’s intellects and wants to have a discussion #Everyone else apparently: Ratio is so meannn he hates everyoneee if you are stupid he wants you to die!! #At least that’s what it feels like 😭 #dr ratio #honkai star rail #Hsr leaks #aventurine

when you realize 75% of this app has zero media literacy, the reading comprehension skills of a wet gym sock and the attention span of a fucking goldfish, you won’t feel so bad about your work or take these opinions seriously. Expecting people with a 3rd grade reading level and the plagiarism skills of an amateur thief to have anything good to say about creative writing is asking too much . Lower you expectations.

#this is literally WattPad with a Van Cleef bracelet on #ppl migrating from that hellscape and coming to this hellscape to be even more annoying #bringing their negativity and atrocious writing with them #originality is a lost art #the girls are plagiarizing left and right #cherry chats 🍒 #send the flood #creativity is always going to bother ppl who can only follow trends and replicate what someone else is doing #I ain’t calling nobody dumb #but y’all possess some very modest intellect #they think bashing smut and certain hcs makes them scholars #and getting their opinions from tiktok and other ppl #you also don’t get cool points bc you hate a character portrayal either dumb ass bitches #but ask them to list the difference bw their there and they’re and they’ll seize up #“everybody has to start somewhere in their writing. #and the starting point is just stealing others’ works and recycling the same opinions #again y’all won’t be satisfied until this whole app is deserted #y’all keep drudging up nigga eren as if he’s the first character that has had this type of hc #y’all said the same thing about Bakugou and the Haikyuu characters #y’all just don’t want black women to have a safe space period #George bush you gon pay for your crimes #don’t argue with anybody who used to get their tests handed back to them face down

Dnd Manual: Mindflayers use Intellect Devourers as hunting dogs. They're very big, they run around like a bunch of wolves in packs to tackle people and hijack the body.

Me: Mindflayers realized there was a much more profitable market for people looking for a weird exotic pet than doing the 500 other illegal things they were doing and now we got White Women putting walking brains in little jimjams.

#TSB Draws #Intellect Devourers #Brains #Monsters #Dnd #Dungeons and Dragons #It never specifies WHAT they eat #they just absorb psychic intellectual information. #just leave them in a room with the edutainment channel on and they're good #a little greasy but still no worse than a hairless cat

just thinking of how the 10th doctor literally recruited Martha Jones for asking questions and then spent the rest of the season being annoyed at her for questioning him

#like my dude what did you expect #you were attracted to her intellect and inquisitiveness #don't sigh and roll your eyes every time she questions something #also that time he thought her butterfly effect reference was silly and then started referencing back to the future #and was like “martha keep up ofc im referencing back to the future” #also you don't recruit a medical student and not expect her to pick up on your ways #he was such a hypocrite that whole season #10th doctor #martha jones #doctor who

Booktokers will recommend the most brain dead, worse than wattpad, misogynist racist homophonic terf rhetoric filled “book” that’s 97% sex scenes and then look you in the eye and tell you they Refuse to read classic lit cause it’s “boring”

And like you actually didn’t have to tell me that I figured it out myself 

#this got me canceled on booktok let’s see how it goes on tumblr #anti booktok #anti intellectualism #classic lit #books #booktok #booktok books #collen hoover #the cruel prince #<fuck everyone who said that book was good #no not all classics are good. yes classics are problematic and lack diversity. no not everyone can read classics. #no you do not have to read classics to have good taste in books. intellect isn’t always related to what you read. #im trying to clarify everything I got called out for but I cannot remember everything

— The Uses of Intelligence, by Caroline Kizer, 1959.

#I really loved this one... gave me such a more fond and expanding perspective of intelligence. #One of my favorite things I've read this month. #So many intellects exists; and yet their attitude towards it can entirely rearrange what intelligence even means- #-and how it takes form. Either in their life or to them or their work and arts. Etcetera... #I've never really thought about intelligence within the context of your attitude towards it and how you specifically equip it; we're sort- #-of taught that intelligence is amalgamated all into this one thing but it's often much broader than that in practice. #And that's just so fascinating... WHATTT! #poetry #the uses of intelligence #caroline kizer #the poetry foundation #quotes #excerpts #words #philosophy #writing #intelligence #poetry on tumblr #poetry on intelligence

My one pet peeve with way people do worldbuilding for rainworld is everything is always 'eh its a purposed organism thing' for anything like slightly cool and out there. You dont get just how WEIRD evolution can get. Imagine how weird it could get with evolution backed by a bunch of guys also throwing things together generations ago. There are ants that explode on command as a defense mechanism and lizards that can fire slime blasts from their tails in REAL LIFE, is "they made this bug electric on purpose" the best you can do. No they did something fucked up to a bug a billion years ago and now its extra fucked up

#purposed organism stuff works best for extreme alt variations on existing organisms like spearmaster is #but most purposed organisms from the past have probably evolved so significantly the purposed part is relatively minor #like slugcat are implied to be the ancestor of some pathetic little pipe cleaning slug #so assuming natural evolution theyve gained limb use #social behaviors and fairly high intellect #thats a big evolutionary gap #what does remain is all the fucked up mecha beasts which appears to at least be implied to be like #organic metal. if that makes sense

It's crazy how seeing a single Jenny Holzer artwork will physically make me ill.

#I can't even engage with them much because they make me so viscerally uncomfortable. #Every single one is so visceral and makes me think 'I'm not that right? I hope I'm not that' #in the most deluded way because I suspect what I hope I'm beyond is entrenched in my condition as a human being. #I'm not an animal! I'm not an animal! I cry as I slowly shrink into a corn cob. #Anyway last night was crazy. As a firm proponent that freedom is an activity of the intellect and the imagination I kind of+ #didn't know thinking could make you feel that bad. #l33chsp34k

Vance Hopper post revival!

This bombastic loud little man is 14 1/2 years old, he likes hockey, pinball, rock n’ roll, and peanut butter “Koogle”.

I wanted to try and set established designs for the ghost boys after being brought back because I think after having to go through what they did they’d obviously not come back the same in my opinion.

I think post revival Vance would probably take his trauma and turn to smoking, and getting into more fights to try and help his pent anger.

I definitely think he would have a meltdown and cut his hair to gain a sense of control in his life because I think the Grabber grabbed his hair during his time in the basement, and him cutting his hair is a way to take back that control.

I think Vance would have control issues, both before and after dying because of home issues and other things in his life.

I also tried to lean more into the “Billy Hargrove look” because I think it’s cool and I also tried to add more playing card motifs in his design by adding a club necklace and a spade badge on his sleeve.

More ghost boys will come after Vance, I just wanted to show y’all my perspective on the au and how he would look in it ^^

#pippi art #necromancer finney au #vance hopper #tbp vance #vance hopper fanart #I think he’d take being revived back the worst to be honest. because he’s so angry and upset over what happened in that basement and how #it’s unfair that he had to go through that along with being kept there the longest #I’m playing into the cutting hair trauma trope but I don’t care. because I do think the grabber tried to pull Vance’s hair at one point #also playing into the spade symbolism. with how it represents #death. intellect. and action #things that I synonymous with Vance #but yeah I took a lot of inspo from Billy. and I wanted to change his clothes because I don’t think he’d be okay after what happened #also I think Vance would get an ear piercing! like a diamond or a heart something card related!! #but yeah I hope you all like my silly little au and silly little design #:P #also I don’t know why but I think Vance would absolutely love peanut butter! like I included a koogle peanut butter snack just for that s #so yay! happy little headcannon!!

every episode this season ending with Nandor looming over Guillermo saying some shit like "Did you really think I would not find out? Your dark secret? The betrayal? *long pause with glaring* that you went to the supermarket without me even though you know I love to ride the horsey machine at the front" and every single time Guillermo tenses up as if he's convinced Nandor actually figured it out this time

#wwdits spoilers #what we do in the shadows spoilers #i love guillermo but he really thinks nandor is a man of intellect lol #what we do in the shadows #written by me

i don't wannaaaa write fic i just wanna make a huge doc of pokeani headcanons and minute lore that no one cares about except me :D

#what's the bureacracy behind the pokemon league like? #what's the media discourse around contests like? #how does professor cerise have enough money to fly ash and goh wherever they want? #it's all so intriguing :0 #i don't think i'll be touching the legendary/mythical lore with a 10 ft pole though #shoutout to everyone who has the bravery and intellect to do so!
