There's A Stairway To Heaven And A Highway To Hell, But The Midnight Train Goes Anywhere. Trains Are

I think we should have the Batfamily treat the batarangs like business cards. For both branding and comedic purposes. I’ve only really seen the bats having personal batarangs a few times. Like yeah, they all usually use the company provided stock batarangs, but they also have their own personal ones that they use if they really need to send a message of who threw it. (Or pass the blame for throwing it by using someone else’s).

Imagine a league member meeting some random Batfamily member for the first time and asking for an autograph and then they pull out a business card holder filled with batarangs. I’d imagine Steph doing that (they’re pre-signed and have an professional looking address that leads to a Waffle House), and when questioned she’d just say “It’s important to make a good impression when making connections and a good business card can help keep you in people’s mind” just quoting something Bruce probably told her once.

Here’s some ideas on how I think they could look. Obviously Batman has the stock batarangs along with all the evolutions it’s gone through over the years, nightwing has his Wingdings, but the one that can drive personalized rangs home are the Robin disks, because it feels like it’s really back and forth whether robins have their own designed rangs or just use the bat ones. Spoiler and signal could use purple and yellow ones, and I imagine red hood uses the red bat emblem on his chest. Orphan’s could look like stock batarangs at first glance but upon close inspection you’d find the stitched mouth design embossed or engraved in it. Red Robin I feel like would either keep using Robin disks but red or he’d redesign them using his “double R” logo.

I got nothing for the extended Batfamily since I haven’t read pretty much anything with them but off the top of my head I’d imagine Kate using batarangs that are outlined with red like her hair.

Thank you silly shark Sunday, my beloved

fuck it im posting it anyway Digital love silly shark sunday🤭💓💞

Whenever I see someone refer to "Victorian era-" for places outside the UK I'm tempted to start saying shit like "Han Dynasty era Rome", "Soviet era Australia" etc

Just remembered that Samus Aran has genetic modifications, and then thought about her saying “Scott Steiner math” and now I’m surprised nobody ever uses that for incorrect quote memes cause like, “I’m a genetic freak, I’m not normal…” and “I got 141 2/3 chance of winning” are some insane quotes. Especially in full quotation

I just had a silly Genshin thought regarding the citizens of mondstadt.

What if they as a whole were weirdly competent at escaping. Like we know that windtrace was made with the intention of recreating rebels escaping from hunting tyrants but what if a bunch of their games were also meant for practicing escaping. Imagine if the adventurers guild practicing their puzzle solving, or archery was made with the intent of cracking locks , or spotting and dodging guards. What if their poetry practice is a way to practice weaving words to run circles around captors or find loopholes in contracts. Mond is the nation of poetry and freedom, and no cage physical or otherwise can hold them.

Picture this, someone managed to kidnap a mondstadter then they get annoyed with them and close their eyes for a few seconds, then they open them and they’re captive is just gone, manacles or binds just lying on the floor of an open cell. Nobody even heard them leave and you’re certain you would have heard the door open with that way it’s been squeaking for months. (You could say they doubled down their training after the dottore incident from the comics if you wanted to be really nitpicky and stay lore accurate)

Or another one, a Liyuen businessman or a Fontainian scam artist think they’re about to trap some poor bum from Mondstadt who doesn’t know any better just to have the tables turned cause the Mindstadter had some open ended flowery words that allowed a specific loophole giving them an out and trapping the offender at the same time.

Expanding on this thought to the other nations, I can’t decide if it’d be funnier if it was just mondstadt who had this develop due to their separation from the divine, or if each country had their own specialized developed skills.

So if anybody wants to take this concept and run, feel free, I’d love to hear other ideas regarding what the other nations would be good at.

Some short ideas for the other nations if anybody wants to try expanding on it: Obviously there’s liyue being a nation of contracts, commerce, and business, as well as natlan’s people having a significantly higher degree of combat proficiency to the average NPC. Fontainians I would imagine have more legal knowledge that they can use for good or bad, but breaking/skirting laws seems like it would give the average Fontainian hives. Sumeru is interesting because they have the literal split between untouched Traditions (eremites and the Sand), and propagandized traditions (scholars and the Green), as well as a second ideological split between knowledge (average Akademiyan scholar) vs wisdom (Nahida, the average citizen with common sense, and the coup troupe). Like the old saying “knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.” For both Inazuma and Snezhnaya I’m not sure what they could be good at since their ideals are eternity and love, as well as the fact Snezhnaya is not out at the time of making this post, but if you can come up with something feel free to add on.

I’m seeing the Dani Dami combo gremlin duo, and I gotta say, great take, love the energy. Same to be said for the Jon Dami Dani trio, but I really feel like they’re missing a perfect opportunity considering the amount of times people write them as going to the same school. Because instead of Damian needing to go “Oh no, there’s two of them” about Jon and Dani. He should really be reserving that for the unprecedented combo of Dani and Maps “I will crawl through the secret tunnels of my school and meet Killer Croc in the sewer and make him an uncle” Mizoguchi. We could be having Damian looking at Maps, turn to Jon, and turn back around and now there’s Dani standing by and definitely enabling whatever insane plan Maps has come up with this time.

can you reblog a two-part post in the correct order?
