Bruce: Please bring home PURIFIED water with NO minerals added for taste.
Damian: We got spring water.
Bruce: NO.
Jason: With EXTRA minerals.
Dick: It's like licking a stalagmite.
Bruce: DON'T COME HOME.
Tim: Mmm cave water.
Whoever first came up with the idea of drawing a reunion of those two in re6 is a fucking genius
Anyways I often see other artists draw something for that kind of prompt so I wanted to join in because that's such a fun idea
Twilight’s eyes were wide with distress. He opened his mouth twice before speaking. “Is that another Link?”
The child on the beach coughed and spluttered, buffeted by the tide. Their small hands sunk into the waterlogged sand before they managed to crawl toward the nearest palm tree. A fairy hovered nearby, its aura dim with unease.
“That’s… me,” Time croaked. In his satchel, he felt the pulse of the Zora Mask—an eddy, salt-rich and so, so mournful. There was a similar feeling from the child on the beach. “I don’t know how, but that’s me.”
Warriors took a deep breath as if to speak. Haltingly, he began, “He looks like you. As I remember you, I mean.”
“What do you mean, remember?” Sky asked. “You knew each other before?”
“Not exactly,” Warriors answered when Time could not. The child on the beach began to sob.
“Why are we just standing here?” Wild asked quietly, his feet rooted all the same. “We should be helping him. We should, right?”
Anxiously, Time reached for his ocarina. The color was faded after so many years. “I don’t… I don’t think we can.”
“Why not?” Legend asked, grief and kindness poorly hidden beneath a scowl. “He’s hurt. He’s hurting. You’re…” He cleared his throat. “You’re just a baby.”
The child on the beach struggled to pull himself together. He covered his head with his arms and asked ‘why’. The Oceanside Spider House lay like a tomb ahead of him.
“This is the third day,” Time told them hollowly. His stomach rolled and rolled and rolled. He fought the urge to double over. “We can’t interfere.”
Wind glanced between child and adult. “But what if—”
“We can’t,” Time said again, searching the sky for that haunting grimace. The ground rumbled tellingly. “People will die. It has to happen this way.”
A portal opened behind them, promising a new world. “This is cruel,” Warriors muttered, more furious than any of the others had ever seen him. “There’s no point to this but cruelty.”
In the end, the nine heroes left Termina without truly entering it—tourists to what had happened during some brief moment in time within time within… time. They glimpsed a broken child and left him to his fate.
The child did not notice. He panicked, then he carried on.
Red Hood and his adopted goons but 19-year-old Jason taking his goons to the doctor because health is important and none of them have gotten a tetanus shot in the last decade.
The pediatrician wondering how to explain to Red Hood that she sees kids, not forty-year-old henchmen.
At least three goons sitting in the waiting area while they wait for the others, comparing their bandaids to see who got the best one.
One goon gets a Batman bandaid and the next week the pediatric clinic receives a bulk order of custom Red Hood bandaids along with boxes of Wonder Woman and Green Lantern ones.
Half the goons haven’t been to a normal doctor since they were kids so the one time Red Hood takes them to someone other than a pediatrician they are greatly disappointed by the lack of suckers and cat stickers.
fierce deity is chill actually, hes here to say hello
Dick has the build of a gymnast (obviously), Jason has the build of a hockey player, Tim has the build of a swimmer, Cass has the build of a ballet dancer, Steph has the build of a volleyball player, Duke has a build of a soccer player and Damian has the build of a martial artist.
And Bruce is overcompensating.
Because...
Sky made him a noticeably delicate spoon to cook with
And it was already well established in the chain that they know perfectly well Wild breaks *everything*
And then we see him using another Sky-made spoon in the art
I'm thinking it goes something like this:
Wild, approaching cautiously with Sky's favourite food in hand: Skyyyyyyy
Sky: Yep. Here you go. *pulls another elaborately carved ladle out of his bag and hands it to him*
Wild, giving food as an offering: Thank you... Sorry
Sky: *smiles and pulls more wood out* (he likes the excuse for more carving projects)
Halloween prompts year 2 day 2
Tim, as a child, went to a party/gala with his parents and ended up getting dragged into an Oiji board session when he was shoved off to go join the other kids.
It somehow escalated to a "bride of Satan" ritual but instead of Satan they chose the "king of ghosts" just to see if anything replied. Tim didn't believe in ghosts at this point and was goaded into being the bride. They thought the ritual failed after the flames of the candles turned green then purple then green again before blowing out entirely.
After Jason dies Tim makes a wish/prayer to anyone who could hear him. He desperately wanted his hero, his Robin, to live.
Phantom died at four and became the king of the Infinite Realms at 7. He was often lonely and hid his halfa status from everyone outside of the Far Frozen where he was raised. Both he and the Yetis guarded this secret zealously. Still, he craved contact from other humans and knowledge of thier world that was so different from his own. So naturally when he felt someone willingly sacrificing themselves to be his spouse? He only hesitated a moment before agreeing. Then he just needed his fiance to wish for something and thier engagement would be set.
Cue Jason Todd waking up in his casket.
Nothing really comes of it until Tim gets his first major injury from a bad guy as the new Robin and Tim wakes up to a giant nightmare fuel skeleton monster just chilling on his ceiling watching him. It had mandibles like a beatle made from fingerbones woven into one another and its face seamed the same save for the artistic inclusion of opals, pearls and other small bones that Tim couldn't identify. Its body looked like a mass of bones both human and animal while its many, many arms kept it stuck to the ceiling where dark empty eye sockets stared down at him. Two human skulls protruded from the creatures back, one watching the window and the other watching the doorway.
Tim screamed.
Danny just hoped his fiance liked his new bodyguard. He made it himself special order, he called it a BoneKeeper.

Much later
Batman, Zatanna, and Robin: *tries to summon ghost king*
Phantom: omg my fiance wants to meet me!
Phantom: I cant go like this! I want to meet him while looking my best!
Phantom: *sends note through in his stead stating to call back at a specific date and time*
Heroes: wtf? Is this a trap?
Day comes
Heroes: *summoning*
Phantom: *appears looking nice and very much a child* Are you my fiance?
Batman: ...oh god thats a child
Zatanna: ...oh god thats a child
Robin: *same age as Danny and unbothered* Whats with the bone monster?
Phantom: I made it to protect you! I heard that you guys used fear as a weapon. Is it scary enough?
