i like when people say "how could you eat an innocent animal" because it implies it's okay to eat guilty animals

#Pluto #SPACE! #science #tumblr polls #1) kids are capable of learning SO many things—teach them about dwarf planets alongside the 8 big ones! #2) Pluto is a planet for me because I memorized the order via a song in Spanish & can only remember them that way (y Plutón dundundun!) #3) don't know how to break it to you hamburgurl but people disagree on the number of continents #(different regions say different numbers; are Africa + Asia + Europe 1 or 2 or 3; do North and South America count as 1 or 2; etc.) #anyway #amazing that people will quote “why do kids need to know about planets” on the “why don't U.S. kids learn about other countries” site #(don't get me wrong school kids should learn about their own planet AND their solar system) #(but also the reason U.S. kids may not learn about other countries until 6th grade is because social studies is taught progressively) #(you learn about: 1st your family; 2nd your neighborhood; 3rd your town/city/etc.; 4th your state; 5th your country) #(for some reason I also learned solar system in 5th grade and ancient civ in 6th and kiiiinda skipped ever taking geography)

Banshee boy?

Both you and @franticvampirereads asked about this one 😅 I guess it's a very intriguing title?

This is a twist on an idea I had for a wingfic AU ages ago, where people's souls manifest as ghostly wings that only a handful of people can see (in this case, Tim). I never got very far when I toyed around with it before because I didn't have much beyond that, and then I struck on the idea of making it a familial trait. And that gee, if someone went through a big life change like becoming a vigilante, that would probably reflect in their soul somehow.

So far it's a weird team-up of Tim and Jack trying to figure out what to do with this kid that Tim found who has very unusual/kinda messed-up wings.

Whatever is going on with this kid, they're dangerous. Lethal in a way Tim hasn't seen since he parted ways with Lady Shiva. Logically, he should back away, head on home, hang up his cape for the night and forget all about this.

Except for how pure logic doesn't always always have a place in Robin's world. The kid sets off all of Tim's internal warning bells, but they aren't attacking. They're hiding, the boney wings curling around them to try and make a protective shell. To shield something broken from a cruel world.

Something aches in Tim's chest, and he moves closer before dropping down into a crouch, careful to telegraph each of his movements ahead of time. "Hi, I didn't mean to scare you. My name is Robin. What's yours?"

One wing flicks outwards, the bony tip spearing through his chest though he can't actually feel it. The move reveals a single pale eye, which blinks out at him from under the cave of the cardboard. It seems to wander aimlessly at first, then fixes on his center mass, piercing and focused.

The kid slowly unfolds, the arm under the outstretched wing reaching out to touch the R on Robin's chest.

Tim lets it, lets him. Doesn't even consider attempting to stop it from happening. He's too busy trying to remember how to breathe, how to think. Well, at least now he has some kind of explanation for the state of this kid's soul.

If anyone in this world is entitled to skeletal wings, it's Jason Todd.

Why bother arguing in support of trans people if you’re not trans?

very simple concept called believing in human rights

Chapters: 6/8 Fandom: Batman - All Media Types, DCU Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Tim Drake/Jason Todd Characters: Tim Drake, Jason Todd, Barbara Gordon, Bruce Wayne, Colin Wilkes, Background & Cameo Characters Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Tim Drake is Not a Batfamily Member, Civilian Tim Drake, Jason Todd is Red Hood, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Scars, Roommates, Notfic, Not Beta Read, Other Additional Tags to Be Added, Orphaned Tim Drake, Marriage of Convenience Summary:

Tim gives him an incredulous look. “Is this really the way you guys do things? I’m sorry, but do you really think it’s okay to marry someone you barely know and create an entire person—a baby, one that’s going to need someone to look after it for 18 years or longer—just for money?!”

“That’s not…” Jason makes a frustrated sound. “Look, you’re 19, right? We can talk about the intentional baby acquisition when you’re legally old enough to drink. By then we’ll know if our marriage can sustain a child. But I think it’s worth a try.”

-

After civilian Tim Drake gets trapped in the Bat Cave following multiverse shenanigans, he enters an arrangement with the crime lord Red Hood in an effort to gain access to a trust fund with some very particular requirements.

Very curious about That Fucking Handprint

Is it a "gripped you tight and raised you from perdition" kinda deal?

also asked about by @bi-bats and @ladytauria <3

i wish i has more to say about that one lol but there's not much to it. i wrote this:

Tim stares at the dripping red graffiti, frozen somewhere between shock, disbelief, and maybe I can cut off my leg. Just get rid of the thing, of that mark on his thigh, and the whole problem goes away, right? Tim wonders what mark Jason has, and hopes it's as stupid as the fucking handprint on his skin, exactly the same the one painted on the wall, mocking him in more ways than Jason had even intended.

for a three sentence prompt fill like seven years ago and have always loved the idea of exploring it in a full fic but just... haven't. i don't even have like ideas about the plot or what jason's stupid soul mark is. but i have hope for someday!
