I HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE!!!!
(I think. I choose to believe that)
When I had first discovered this hidden Batfam character, (before the the batfam was really a concept! (This little blond shit existed before Jason Todd!!)) there were about 8-9 fanfics of him on AO3. All published months or YEARS apart.
I made my first post on Lance in early October of 24 and my second post on Lance (and Duke because Duke) in early January.
We went from 8-9 to 12!!! (It's probably a coincidence) There are somewhat recent ones too! From this month!!!
Lance content hath expanded, if only slightly, and thus, the world hath changed for the better.
Obviously not sponsored since I'm literally nobody here, but it's genuinely so cool that I can post my headcanons, thoughts, and theories without feeling like I'm lost in the shuffle.
I cannot say just how amazing it is that I could be analyzing how the Force works in the shower and realize... I have a place to put that now. It's not just me and whoever is willing to listen to me ramble about my stupid shit. Now other people are reading my stupid shit... and they like it.
Now again, I am small. Just a few days ago I reached 100 likes added together from... 7 posts + a repost. Which is bananas! But not someone whose... y'know, big. But the little that I have is honestly just great.
I mean... I'd seen a lot of Tumblr posts filled with amazing content, but I still didn't get an account. Idk why, just felt like I didn't need it or that I'd never use it. Or maybe it was just stubbornness towards the end. I needed a good reason. Something I could only find here.
That was when I found out about an obscure Batman character named Lance Bruner (I made a post about him, u should read it). I wanted art of him. It only existed here. They cut me off the "Classified: jk make an account :) and I did. And honestly, I'm really glad I did. This is pretty worth it. This is the most I've ever posted on a platform (unless you count the comment section) and honestly, and most importantly, I'm having fun.
Picture this:
Dogma, having Slick as his prison-mate, and finding out what exactly happened to Tup and subsequently, Fives.
The rule follower, who killed a Jedi traitor, and instead of being reconditioned or decommissioned, gets locked in a cell.
Having regular conversations with Boba Fett (who tried to kill a Jedi) and Slick (THE traitor clone) while constantly coming into contact with the Coruscant Guard (Who have all kinds of bad going on).
Then Order 66.
I see Dogma’s name becoming even more ironic than it already is. Anarchist!Dogma burning down Empirical bases.
Walking through doors that say “Do Not Enter”, waving for others to follow him.
He becomes a legend in The Rebellion. Very few know that he’s a clone.
He’s known for never respecting authority… which makes it all the more shocking to others when he respects and follows Captain Rex without complaint.
Maintains a good relationship with both Slick and Boba.
Totally where’s a black leather jacket.
The loss of his twin (Tup) weighs heavily on him in quiet moments of seriousness.
Takes to starting riots against the Empire.
Great at riling up support for the rebellion.
He's with the rebellion right now, but once talk of a new republic seems feasible, he leaves. People say it's because an agent of chaos cannot flourish in peace. In reality, he remembers the republic he lived in. He has trauma.
Instead of being executed, he was/found a way to get locked up in Coruscant prison.
When Boba Fett is arrested, Slick is the one to save him from getting executed/sent back to the Kaminoans. Somehow.
Slick is also the one to save Dogma from getting decommissioned or reconditioned, instead gaining a prison mate.
Boba has some sort of familial relationship with them, if only because of proximity.
Slick and the Coruscant Guard have some sort of understanding. (This is a different post about my au that will eventually exist).
Dogma doesn’t really warm up to Slick until he gets news of what happens to Tup and subsequently, Fives.
All three of them survive, and later have varying levels of closeness with Rex and “others”.
There’s more, but that’s a different post. This stuff can pass in canon. The rest are more… au-esque.
So first off, I loved Teen Titans (2003). I can openly admit that I am very biased to it, and incorporate it into my personal complicated au. In Teen Titans, Dick leads them as Robin. So lets talk about Jason, and how Dick becomes Nightwing. (In my au)
"Red X is Jason Todd!!" No. Red X is clearly Grant Wilson. It makes the most sense. He calls Robin "kid" implying that he is older, has a similar fighting style to Slade (because we know he and Robin are similar), and most importantly, Jason would not die and come back to find Dick in the Robin costume. (Unless it's a reverse au).
So since Robin leads the Teen Titans, still Robin despite not being in Gotham or with Batman, why would he become Nightwing? Here is my answer.
Dick finds a newspaper article about Batman and Robin in Gotham. Recently. He hasn't been in Gotham recently. There are speculations on why there are two Robins.
He goes home to confront Bruce, and finds a child that looks just like him, in a previous version of his costume. He argues with Bruce, he visits Clark, hears the story about Nightwing and Flamebird, remembers that one episode where Starfire went to the future, and returns to Jump City as Nightwing, unable to take Robin away from the kid, officially giving up Robin to Jason.
Jason doesn't any of know that and believes he has always lead the Titans as Nightwing.
(The newspaper is also a parallel to how Dick found out about Jason's death :D)
Do with this what you will.
(Do you like my dumb picture? It has nothing to do with this post but it’s here)
It's important for people to realize that the thing that finally broke me -the thing that made me make an actual account here- was a very, VERY, obscure Batman character named Lance Bruner. (Look him up srsly) I learned about him one night and that same night, I needed fanart of him, was givin the "whoops: classified jk get an account" and you know what. I fucking did. It hasn’t even been a week since that night btw. First post the same week I create this account. Woohoo!
I would like a story about Duke Thomas being able to see ghosts as another facet of his powers.
And like… Him just vibing in the manor, only to see a blond ghost kid following around his family, with funny, unappreciated quips.
Who are you??
I’m Lance. I’m technically your older brother.
Chaos ensues.
(Dick, Bruce, and Alfred do NOT talk about Lance and therefore, no one knows that they had another brother named Lance Bruner).
Warning: This fic is incomplete and posted anonymously.
With that out of the way, this is one of my top 5 favorite fanfics of all time, ever. It’s the only Harry Potter fic there.
The character that changes the most here is Draco (and Pansy), but everyone else is slight enough to be believable. It’s their choices and relations that change the story. (Like most good fanfics)
Now, there are no ships, but if you’re a fan of Dramione or Pansmione or Drarry or even Ronmione, you could definitely read it with those in mind. All the characters have very interesting dynamics with each other.
The houses thing: You won’t be able to unsee it.
Without further ado: Harry Potter and The Year That Four 1st Years Solved The Inter-House Unity Problem
Or Part 1 of A Ravenclaw, a Hufflepuff, a Gryffindor, and a Slytherin walk into a bar....
(I was on Reddit, someone asked for Harry Potter must reads, so I commented this. Thought I’d share.)
Spider-Man (Peter Parker) is crazy strong, right?
Poor guy would probably break every stress ball in existence, without even trying.
So, hear me out: Custom made Vibranium stress ball!
He could probably put some kind of slime coating or smth to make sure he doesn’t cut himself on sharp metal, too.
With the added benefit of looking super badass to anybody watching/finding out what it's made of.
Anakin: Fuck. Padme. I think I’m in love with Rex.
Padme: Rex is quite a handsome man, and he looks so cute when he tries to lie and he takes such good care of his brothers and-
Rex: Fuck. I’m in love with my married general. Padme’s very strong and pretty too tho-
They’re already breaking a bunch of rules when it’s just the two of them. What’s a few more?
It cool
