(What we have in mind for now are black dragons, with low density silver glitter, silver enamel, so that the pride flag pops)
*cracks knuckles*
So you know those fics/ideas where the batfam pretends to be winged cryptids (“loading and aspect ratio” by JUBE514 is beautiful, as is the series “f’ing demon bats” by KingJai) completly inhuman, entirely different, unknown species?
People start trying to like, study/classify them, along with other metas and species that are emerging. At first, they think the bats and the birds are different species, deciding to co-habitate, because- duh. Bats are mammals. Birds are birds. But then, why do they all have the same whistle chitter language? The same claws, fangs, cape-like base to thier wings? All the babies call Batman dad, what if its really a bloodline family? But if thats the case, then why are they so different?
The answer lies in the batgirls.
The bat… GIRLS.
Black bat, batgirl (all 3 of them), batwoman, all are female. The robins, nightwing, red hood, are all male.
The feathered members of the family are SHOWIER. They’re stealthy, sure, but they’re dramatic, using their brighter colors and their words to draw attention to themselves. Even red robin, the drabbest and most silent of the bunch, will get into loud debates with riddler and such. Clearly, these are displays to attract a mate. Just look at nightwing.
The leather-winged members, in the other hand, are quieter, talking less often, sticking more to the shadows and silent+violent takedowns. Black Bat almost never speaks. Oracle is never even seen. Spoiler is louder and more brightly colored, but who is Gotham to enforce gender roles onto their cryptid? They’re noticing trends.
But then… where does batman fit into this? His coloration is the closest to black bat. His fighting style fits in the shadows, not as flashy as other males of his species, so what gives? Is this theory just a theory?
No, of course not. The answer is obvious. Batman is trans.
Trans Cryptid Batman.
Idk how Duke fits into this give him a bird theme or smth.
BONUS POINTS if Alfred (grandpa gotham cryptid) is “revealed” to have lovely white feathered wings. Its meant to be a play on how he’s an angel looking out for them (an angel for putting up with them) but it kickstarts the whole thing.
(EDIT: more bonus points if Bruce is either A:actually trans or B: Bryce trying to avoid sexism, and cannot for their AFAB life figure out how they got clocked as biologically female)
Hey everyone! This idea has been knocking around my head for a while now, and before I commit any resources too it I thought I'd ask you all about it.
Some more info - the book would be a collection of short stories from all across the world I've been posting about for over a year now, as well as setting up some plot points for an eventual set of novels I want to write.
There would be 27 short stories - one from each of the lands of this world. For people who have read A Map of the Deadlands, think of that as a very little version of what this book will be
between these short stories, we follow the mysterious Curator, a figure cloaked in shadows and gold as he travels the Continent looking for curios to fill his museum with. What's his story? What's with the helmet? All stuff I'm excited to talk about in this book. Here he is.
Some of you might recognise that helmet from this video, and thats no coincidence! This video is a working trailer of sorts for this project, and when its done I'll probably launch the Kickstarter as a whole!
As for the actual Kickstarter, here's some of the nitty gritty.
I would be aiming for around £8,000. It looks like a lot, but its (nearly) one year of my rent. With that paid for, I can focus my all on getting this project finished
Kickstarter rewards? You know it. If you back, I would send you back lots of goodies, from Museum of the Continent merch, pins, prints, and even a character of yours appearing in the book!
Here's some of my work you might have seen that would be making an appearance in the book - from magic to monsters and everything between.
Anyway, sorry for the long post. If anything will come of this it probably wont be for a few months at least, but any support at all is very appreciated! And, again, if this seems like something you would be into please let me know, thank you!
Oh, and of course a name -
I was reading something on AITA that damaged me immensely
"Time blindness is an explanation, not an excuse. It means you don’t have an innate sense of time, not that you physically cannot see what time it is."
Hey, excuse me but that cannot be allowed. You're fucking with me again. First y'all've said you have inside voices then y'all've said you've inside pictures, and I know y'all don't Gumby like me (hyper mobility disorder :(( o no )
But come on. This has to be a joke. One person's delusion of grandeur.
My phone has been malfunctioning so that it shows the time in another time zone randomly and last week after a full day of doing stuff it showed me 11 am and of course I believed it until someone told me: no, it's 7pm. Why would i not. How on earth was I meant to know I hadn't just had a busy 5 hour morning. I'm reeling. I want a list of what's not wrong with my brain, stat!

What if when Tim went off to look for Batman when he was lost in time he bumped into Phantom.
They made a Deal
Phantom knowing CW helped him find Bruce and how to get him back safely, Phantom in return for reasons (hurt badly & recovering, or evolving in power) needed someone very ecto-contaminated (Ra's fault) like Tim, to be contained in.
From a magic user point of view, knowing very little of the GZ and how they work, Tim made a very powerful Deal with a powerful death being (High Ghost King Phantom: Hello!) and is now somehow pregnant (not really but they don't know that)
Danny while inside Tim inside his core can still hear the world outside normally and can share his emotions with Tim to communicate. Which looks a lot like Tim is speaking to his belly just like expecting parents do.
This could be angst or crack
or
my personal favourite, different genres for different pov's
Tim's would be happy, just regular getting his life back together being a total BAMF, coming of age type of vibe
The rest of the Batfam and other heroes pov would be angst, paranormal, psychological horror.
Misunderstandings galore
Dick regretting heavily his decisions which caused Tim to run away because he did not believe him and he has many Regrets.
Bruce feeling guilty that Tim felt the need to make such a decision as to make a Deal and end up pregnant just to bring him back.
Meanwhile the magic users have told the other heroes about Tim's situation and now think that he's going to give birth to the child of a very powerful death being and if something happens to Tim to risk the baby it would cause all of their worlds destruction.
so pretty much-
Tim-Girl Boss, Gatekeep, Gaslight
Batfam- Much Angst
Others- *panicked chicken noises*
