Don't mind me, I'm just about to do some character analysis over a fucking "hear me out cake" video
Ok so, the dragon bit is just really funny, even just surface level
Remus: I mean no-one else is gonna do a dragon right?
*Janus immediately putting an objectively more questionable dragon*
Vigil at the end: I didn't know dragons were on the table?!?!
I mean it's just haha funny. But if you start reading into it, you get more
So like, first off I think it's funny to think that Virgil's "didn't know dragons were on the table" is because it's supposed to be "hear me out"s, all your weird questionable picks. And to him, dragons are just not that weird.
Now a bit about what this means for remus. He's trying very hard to be seen as "weird, chaotic, unpredictable and gross" like truly outlandish, but he's not actually that "crazy". Like he's all "yeah no-ones gonna do this, it's so outlandish and weird" only to be followed up with someone having a wackier version of his pick, and it not even really being played up at all. And then someone thinking it was so vanilla it wasn't even an option! And also when he's like "no-one else has said daddy yet right?" Even though Janus already did.
He desperately wants to be perceived as outrageous, but some of the things he thinks are so outrageous really aren't. I just think it's really fascinating, and think you could definitely get more out of that. And It also sorta shows how both creativities desperately want to be original.
Also, in my heart Virgil is a tublrina, and his sensitivities on what's acceptable to be interested in is very skewed because of that. I just find it really funny to think about Remus trying to be quirky being all "I wanna fuck vampires, werewolves, demons, and dragons" and Virgil going "bitch that's basic! Everybody does" and various reactions ensue. Like Virgil is so used to people wanting to fuck a triangle that a dragon is just a no-brainer.
I keep thinking about this AU where Bruce just stays in college and becomes a doctor but still gets dragged into the superhero world.
Ok so Bruce is a doctor and is known for never turning down a patient because he’s still Bruce and he just doesn’t want anyone to die. He still lives in Gotham which is still a horrible place. He still tries to help Gotham by donating and creating his Wayne foundation but it’s hard because the inherent corruption in Gotham hinders anything he does this way.
The mob is still super active in Gotham and a lot of Batman’s rogues still happen because a lot of his rogues just happen with or without Batman. Poison Ivy still becomes an ecoterrorist. Penguin still becomes a powerful mob boss. Mad Hatter is still just the worst. Tommy probably still tries to kill Bruce. Just so many of Gotham’s rogues still exist, except there is no hero to stop them in Gotham. People try, but Gotham is never kind to any hero. Bruce is immensely frustrated by all this but he can’t really do anything. Hell sometimes Lesly’s clinic (cause I feel like he would work there) gets harassed and extorted to help heal mob members and crime wars. He hates this a lot but he’s trapped. He doesn’t have Batman training or gear, the best he can do is help where he can.
However there are still other heroes in this world and Superman is literally just a quick flight away. The JL forms without a Batman and they see Gotham as a powder keg. So they try to help when they can and sometimes they get injured. It comes to a head when a Metropolis (Lex Luthor specifically) and some Gotham rogues team up to get rid of the main hero pain in their necks. Lex creates kryptonite bullets and disperses them to the Gotham rogues to use. Lex sees this as a win because he can get Superman killed without doing much and the Gotham rogues see this as a win cause they have a big weapon against Superman.
So Superman gets shot at with kryptonite bullets. They aren’t the best so they hurt him but only one really makes it through and hits his skin. He has to call in back up and the JL comes to help. I can image Wonder Woman or Flash getting there first. They have no idea what to do because holy shit Superman was shot. That shouldn’t happen! But they’ve heard of this doctor in Gotham that’s supposed to be really good. Maybe Oliver or Dinah suggest Bruce idk. So they take Superman to Dr. Bruce Wayne.
Dr. Bruce Wayne is at his manor with Alfred and a young Dick Grayson (because I firmly believe Bruce would still adopt the kids) and then there is a knock on the door. Alfred goes to answer and in barges the Justice League with a bleeding Superman. Bruce is immediately on his feet barking orders to the JL to get equipment he can use and telling Dick and Alfred to stay back. He doesn’t know what’s going on or how freaking Superman is bleeding out in front of him but he doesn’t care. Bruce realizes quickly that the bullet is cause Clark more pain so it can’t be a leave the bullet in there scenario. He gets the bullet out and asks the JL how to help Clark heal. They say sunlight helps but this is Gotham! It’s polluted and over cast all the time, he won’t be able to get enough sunlight. Bruce remembers a sunlamp they have from a science experiment for Dick. He tells Dick to go get it and they pray that it works. It does by some miracle, though it’s no substitute for actual sunlight.
The League is grateful for Bruce and Clark is also immensely grateful cause holy shit he got shot. The Justice League has to now figure out how these bullets got out in the first place and well Bruce can’t help but be nosy so he mentions that a few of his patients, the mob ones, let it slip that the higher ups got into contact with someone in metropolis and Bruce knows Lex hates Superman. So he helps them out a bit too.
And after that any time they need help with some medical issue they go to super doctor Bruce. He’s also still Bruce and can’t ignore his detective brain so he helps them with mysteries too from time to time. Idk I feel like this still needs more fleshing out but I think it could be funny. Or sad. Or both.
