Prompt 86

Let it be said that someone breaking into Arkham Asylum was not something anyone was expecting. And let it be said that if one was to ever try it, they all- guards, residents, and doctors alike- would think they would be breaking in to break someone out. 

They are not in fact, expecting a child to be running through the halls giggling with everyone failing in catching him. Someone catch the child before he gets hurt or somehow makes it to the isolation ward! The joker is in there!

Danny is honestly having fun. Ms. Arkham- Gotham’s own Gatekeeper and daughter- is really fun! Sure he’d rather she not view the people within her walls as dolls and playthings, but he supposes she’s not exactly harming anyone. And honestly she could hold on tighter to a few of them to prevent them from escaping in his opinion. 

But he’s here to spend time with his new ghostly Aunt, not judge her, so he’s going to get the whole tour! Secret tunnels you say? Oh, a graveyard, inside your walls? That’s amazing! Isolation ward? Ah, where the naughty dolls go, makes sense! 

Well of course he wants to see it, lead the way!

"terrible change for the worse. come at once. do not lose an hour." "my news today is not so good, lucy has gone back a bit." i LOVE this about dracula. i love that the characters lie to each other in this wholly natural way, such as any person might. they lie by omission or make things seem less bad than they are bc to let others know is to worry them, and that most be avoided at all costs. lucy acts as if everything is all right to everyone who's not a doctor, and even then she doesn't like speaking about herself. seward straight up lies to arthur because he does not want him to feel even more torn between his father and his betrothed. there's such a day-to-day human way of interaction to these characters on the pages. even if they're fictional characters from a nineteenth-century book, this at least is something that is wholly recognisable to everyone who reads about them

#obviously van helsing doesn't tell anyone anything but i also would not say 'vamps are real btw' as a 19th century man #and expect my sceptical younger boyfriend who runs an asylum to take me completely seriously. #you know. #dracula daily #dracula #edit: only just realised i wrote call instead of come for some reason?? edited it but yeah

Just tripped and fell into a what-if scenario:

"What if Jonathan really had caught up to Dracula in Piccadilly and killed him in the street?"

Head lopped off. Kukri through the chest. The 'murder victim' turns to dust in full view of the gawking crowd. Then what? Then what??

Piccadilly Police: "So this man beheaded and impaled an aristocrat in the middle of the street."

Witnesses: "He did."

Piccadilly Police: "And the body..?"

Witnesses: "Crumbled into that pile of dust."

Piccadilly Police: "..."

Witnesses: "..."

Piccadilly Police: "...So has he named which magician he's working for or--?"

Witnesses: "No, he's just been busy kicking the dust into the horse dung piles in the gutter."

Of course, this is the best case scenario sillytimes version. Serious version? Jonathan only manages half of the process before some Good Samaritans tackle him; and likely get cut in the process. I bet he could chop Dracula's head off, but not manage the heart-piercing in time. He gets dragged off to jail. The Count's two pieces get taken to the morgue. And now Van Helsing, the Suitors, and Mina are all on a ticking deadline to stake Dracula's heart before sundown with Important Witnesses present to prove Jonathan's innocence and sanity in the slaying...

And if and when that happens?

That means the Drac Attack Pack are responsible for bringing the reality of vampires into the public awareness.

So.

Surprise, everyone!

Imagine the can of worms that would open around them, around the whole concept. Their original plan to head to Castle Dracula to end the Brides gets a LOT of extra tagalong company. Photographers are there. Ditto shady government sorts who, of course, are eager to investigate a way to turn vampirism into a benefit to the Crown. The Drac Attack Pack would be swamped with sensationalism. It'd be a circus.

Which all adds up to a belated understanding for me about just why Dracula had to get away from them in Piccadilly. If he had been caught and killed? God. What a mess it'd be.

#bet the real estate firm would get a business boom #hell yeah I want to get my house from Jonathan 'Vampire Slayer' Harker. Hey can you do the wall-crawling thing? Any knife tricks? #Van Helsing's professorial career is buried under questions about vampire lore. Say goodbye to the lesson plan #Mina can't take two steps without Disturbingly Interested strangers asking 'sooo what was it like?' 👀 #Art never knows peace at another aristo get-together #Quincey is considering moving into the woods and never coming back #Jack drops the asylum like a hot rock and follows him after the 100th question about whether he 'fed' Renfield to the Count or not #what a train wreck (positive) #dracula

You have officially converted me to miguel/batman

It's a out the bonding over loss, it's about understanding the impossibly complicated, poisonous love between you, your child, and a world that took them from you, it's about understanding the fury and rage and Injustice and deciding you'll have hope, and you'll often fail, and often regret it, and do it anyway. it's about redemption, it's about self loathing, it's about feeling like you'll never ever be good enough for anyone. And it's about letting someone prove you that's wrong.

#THEMMMM #just #them interacting would be amazing theyre so similiar. miguel is/was a scientist and constantly felt guilty about helping poor neighbourhoods #only to go back to his luxurious apartment. YOU TELL ME THATS NOT BRUCE RIGHT THERE #yall dont wanna hear me scream about this au where spiderbat is in an established relationship currently divorced #and jason is the Canon Event #just IMAGINE miles and gwen getting the biggest whiplash when hobie and red hood have a secret handshake apparently?? #'i really gotta say-- i thought you were scary' ' wha-- jason? jason's my best mate! little puppy eh?' #gwen eye twitching: oh your best friend yeah ok. cool. cool cool cool cool-- #bruce is Very Unwell in that verse lmao #text #spiderbat #miguel o'hara #bruce wayne #ignore this this is my admission latter to the asylum

My darkest, most depraved dreams are finally coming true: The Asylum is ripping its limiter off and making its own Destroy All Monsters. Mega Shark! Sharknado! Five-Headed Shark! Mecha Shark! Other monsters who are inexplicably not sharks! Oh yeah, and it's coming out next week.

I usually draw my characters from memory, so they get changed a bit over time... but I looked at this character's original 2014 art for the first time in a while, & redrew it according to my 2023 sensibilities. what is the red thing though??

#traditional art #original art #character design #anthro #furry #art improvement #coloured pencils #image id in alt text #lonely dog draws #oc tag #oc (wolfgang) #as u can see he started off as a feral cat but i feel like he fits in an anthro form better. + his pupils were star shapes #he's always kept his purple waistcoat though :•j #why does he have a ball on him. well he is a prisoner of sorts in the b uhhh ableist horror asylum #YEAH.... i could change it bcuz it makes me cringe a bit but i wouldn't know what else to do with him #(& associated characters)

[fallout-lou-begas]

turns out batman: arkham asylum (2009) is the absolute perfect 7/10 metroidvania with a really cool and distinctly exaggerated creepy asylum environment to explore, and a genuinely endearing overload of late-2000s video game design cliches (audio tapes, walk-and-talk cutscenes integrated into the gameplay, characters bark repetitive voice lines if you do things other than the objective, following glowing trails of stuff). it holds up!

and then there's the goons. the endless horde of large and stupid and large meatheaded goons who say shit like "i ain't afraid a da bat..." and "da jokah's gonna rule dis city!". they have yet to be surpassed, they without a doubt remain the high water mark for bad guys to beat up in video games and a landmark achievement for goons in general

#the GOTY edition is also like $5 on steam right now #probably the perfect price for this game tbh #the worst flaws are the boss fights suck and detective vision isn't very fun to have on all the time #and the combat is pretty mindless unless you're playing on Hard in which case it's HARD. #and yeah the whole creepy asylum full of tortured incurable patients and one-dimensional prisoner thugs is obviously not great ideologicall #but like. it's a batman game. you're gonna get loons and goons. #batman #arkham asylum #louposting

Humans Are Space Orcs and Transformers (some ideas)

Okay, a few posts on the topic "humans are space orcs and transformers" inspired me to expand this topic. Maybe some ideas from one of my reblogs will repeat, but what can I do.

The canon of transformers in all works has extremely belittled humans for an obvious reason — the central theme is cool robots, and people are templates for the viewer's projection (or budget savings, because it will be easier to draw / model people, so you can save on reducing the number of frames with robots).

But if we move away from this and look towards the realistic relationship between humanity and Cybertronians, then we could come up with a bunch of interesting situations that few of the creators have thought of.

For example, transformers consider humans weak and pathetic because we are small and organic. Yes, realistic for a first impression. But why don't people treat them the same when they first meet? We humans are very sensitive to technology, because we know that even an industrial robot can fail, because the more complex the technology, the more variables that can break. Just look at the reaction of the owner of the car, if it was even slightly pushed by something (if there was no person inside, of course). Where are the people who start panicking at every fight, where is the human who is on the verge of a heart attack looking for the number of the nearest car service station after hearing that their Cybertronian friend fell into the lake? Eventually we would have realized that transformers are tougher, but the initial reaction would have been like this.

Although, why wouldn't Earth be a dangerous place? After all, water getting inside the transformer frame, stones and sand getting stuck in the welds of the transformation, cold and frozen water could be a huge constant problem, since this is a non-standard environment for their kind. But this is usually skipped, although it could be a plot reason for friendship with people who could help with this, since they are familiar with similar problems with their equipment. Yes, in some continuities it rains acid on Cybertron and all that, but this does not make the Earth some kind of paradise in comparison.

Why is there not a single moment where a hyperactive person tries to find some softer place on a bet, a wire or an energy line, for example, and bite? People like to mess around like that, especially friends. And how much Cybertronians can be surprised by their friend's phrase about wanting to eat them because of tender feelings (it won't help if they find out about the case of the plane being eaten).

Where is this here: — Energon is delicious, right? — For us, yes, but you can't. — ... — No, this is fatal poisoning for your kind! — I'LL DIE TRYING, JENNY, GEORGIE, WHERE'S THE CAMERA?!

Where is the test drive of all the possibilities of your metal friend? — And then you jump and transform around me! — I'm afraid you'll be crushed. — Okay, let's try with the dummy first.

Why has everyone forgotten Astoria's legacy and is no longer trying to inter-species romance? Where are the strange courtship on the part of humans, such as going to a premium car wash, trying to synthesize delicious energon for a date, incredible rage against someone who somehow offended a love interest? In the end, it's also a great ground for tragic stories, people don't live long, and Cybertronians are constantly putting themselves in danger. And longing after a moment of attachment in time is just as sad as a human's attempt to somehow preserve the memory of a seemingly immortal and invincible friend, which there is no one else to keep, and this, too, will not last long.

Humans are described mostly as useless friends who, for the convenience of the plot, are usually taken hostage or simply useless in this war as a species.

And it's just surprising. Humans. Useless. In the war. Humans who fought before they took a stick and a stone in their hand and from that moment improved weapons, skills and techniques of conflict management. Humans whose military demands move science to the same extent as industrial ones. And we wouldn't have found a way to fight alien robots? The first question that the military would ask scientists is how to break through Cybertronian armor and at what temperature it melts (and don't ask where they will take samples). Having suffered in the early stages, we would have regrouped and thought about what to do next. People are small, so they will fight back much more fiercely if they are cornered by someone big. This is quite common among animals, so it would be a natural thing among humans. To set traps using our specific landscape, to drive the enemy there with the help of energon, which can be poisoned, even if they take it away, they will still get hit. It didn't work out to fight with our weapons — we will improve, it didn't work out too — we will steal their weapons. Open war is not an option? You can fight a guerrilla war.

And it's not worth saying what a real nightmare we can do if the government delays recognizing the extension of humane treatment laws to Decepticons. If this law is often violated in conventional wars, then it's scary to imagine if it will be abolished here in relation to the enemy at all. And if researchers with a scientific interest get involved in this... History has a huge number of examples of what our curiosity is capable of. — And then, later, we realized how to turn off their pain receptors! — Yes, but it wasn't necessary anymore.

Allow a mad scientist to make a mecha suit out of a dead Decepticon and send the most reckless soldier to the battlefield. Not as the most effective combat unit, but as a intimidation and demonstration of what we can do with your dead brothers in arms. I have no doubt that someone would have thought of it (well, I thought of it...). Adaptivity, ingenuity, quick learning, desperation and recklessness — this is the main weapons of humanity.

And who said that transformers will necessarily be effective in war? The fact that they have been fighting for millions of years does not mean that they are doing it successfully, just the opposite (Even your vaunted IDW shows some kind of sucks instead of logical fighting). In the end, they have soldiers and units of military equipment are the same thing, in which case both are lost. In addition, if humans can retrain soldiers and transfer them to other duties, then you will not force those who transform into a tank to replace the seekers when there is a shortage. Moreover, in most continuities, in principle, Cybertronians have difficulties with reproducing numbers, because it's cool to get adult fighters and members of society at once, but when this process depends in most cases on your planet, which is most often a little dead, or some artefacts, then scores with humans begin to be compared. With certain difficulties and with the expenditure of time, but humanity can reproduce itself independently in theory wherever there are suitable conditions for the life of our species. Probably winning option could be a superweapon to blow up the entire planet at once, then yes, it's successful.

Well, just go to any forum ala "Why mechs from anime sucks!" and there will be an essay for a thousand pages about the fact that such a humanoid form is ineffective in war with a whole list of methods for breaking these things (hit the joints and the head — the very first rule).

Oh, you can say, "But in IDW, people were doing something there!". No. The humans there were mostly exposed as idiots, who, as it turned out, acted according to the plans of the Decepticons. Humans weren't even allowed to be evil on their own! They can be shown as good and evil, your favorite gray morality (which never really existed in IDW), but there is no this, just another stick in the Atobot wheel from the Decepticons.

It's just that sometimes I want to tell the authors of works on this franchise to decide not to include humans at all or, since they had to bring in their participation, AT LEAST TRY TO WRITE A STORY LOGICALLY. I understand that many authors are stuck in some kind of teenage "humans are not cool!", especially those who are responsible for the plot of comics, but this does not justify laziness in terms of the plot with people. Even if you were forced, well, at least try to do the job well and efficiently, and do not turn everything into some kind of fan fiction with crushing "stupid and pathetic flesh". It hasn't been entertaining anyone for a long time.

I'm not asking to include humans in every story, but maybe it's possible to try something new for them at least once in more than 30 years of franchise history? Humans are boring just because the authors don't want and don't know how to work with them, that's all.
