I am extremely online but in like the Loser Way. if you try to make me use instagram or tiktok I fumble around with it like a grandma who has never seen a phone before. if you send me a tumblr screenshot however, I will tell you that not only have I already seen the original post but that I'm mutuals with OP

rabbits know and resent their place on the food chain

you! tumblr user!

Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"

So many green slime/plasm/ooze/pit options, ours for the taking. Mix and match non-Newtonian fluids to your hearts content. Is it the same stuff at different ripeness like bell peppers? Up to you! Or is it all entirely different things that just so happen to look near identical?

But wait there’s more, add in some extra states of matter for flavor, gases like Joker gas or scarecrow fear gas, or heck, banes venom is a liquid isn’t it?

Need plot points? Batman wondering where these teenagers keep coming from and why are we dealing with multiple inter dimensional threats all at once. (Why hasn’t anyone noticed or notified anyone about this?) Why are there two separate species entirely unprotected by the meta protection acts? (How many supernatural secret societies could there be?) Why is there a glowing flying robot with green fire hair chasing those turtles? (Depending on the version of tmnt why are the turtles able to do magic that can hit him back.) Is Constantine at fault for any of this? (Probably.) How did “born and raised in Illinois” Wes Weston even know about the “secret New York sewer” turtles to work on a conspiracy board with Bernard Dowd linking them and Killer croc to the rise of sewer pizza delivery drop off points? (Primarily being used by the homeless with no home address.) Bring in the third party after two of them have already met and try to make the third a tiebreaker for an argument only to end with “Doesn’t matter (nasty burger/bat burger/pizza) is better than both of em” and start a new argument.

You know, there was a Batman and Ninja Turtles cross-over event at one point, and I don't think I've ever seen a three point Convergence between the turtles, batman, and phantom come up in FF ever

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.
