Now I wait for this to happen

this reminds me of the time in 2025 when someone pushed down the leaning tower of pisa and spacex donated $1.6 billion to fix it

Batmans "No Metas In Gotham" rule but all of his kids (the batboys in particular) are secretly Metas. A silly AU

Obviously, Dick has weird contortionist stuff going on. He's an acrobat gymnastic, he can twist any part of his body into a pretzel. But that doesn't explain him being able to squeeze into a vent system that even rats struggle to get through. When Bruce finds an 11 year old boy crying through the vents "daaaad I got stuck" he did not expect to find that Dick managed to squeeze himself through 20 feet of 6 inch wide 3 inch tall ductwork into a small pocket meant for a fan. Bruce was left questioning for months if Dick somehow popped a joint to do it, but nope... Dick just straight up has squishy bones. It's an at will thing, so no one's ever noticed it before. Bruce only finds out when Dick yells "think squishy thoughts!" to try and help Bruce free himself from a Joker death trap, and when questioned, is like, "Yeah.. my mom taught me to."

Jason gets mild elemental control. Nothing insane or super noticeable, but he manages to stay completely dry even during rainy patrol nights, fires seem to naturally pull towards him when he walks past them, lights flicker if he gets too emotional, ect. Bruce only found out Jason could do any of this stuff after Jason died and came back. It was raining hard that night. Bruce found his should be dead son. But Jason was dry as a bone. Half of Gotham was missing power, the street lights flickering madly every time the fight moved further down the street. The explosive Jason planted in the helmet seemed to be an all-consuming everlasting flare that was hell-bent burning Bruce.

Tim has night vision. It's not the most impressive or cool or weird, but it's so very helpful. The way Bruce figures it out is he finds Tim in the pitch black batcave, writing away in a notebook while reading some old case files from pre modern batcomputer era where Bruce had written down everything himself. He was attempting to solve cold cases in the dark. At first, Bruce is like "well maybe his eyes adjusted," but no. I (Seth) have been caving/spelunking irl before, it's really fun, but it's So. Fucking. Dark. It's literally impossible to see at all, even when your eyes slightly adjust. He starts to freak out the rest of the batfam by wandering the manor at night without any lights. Sick Tim, standing over Bruce's bed in the pitch black going "I threw up" in the most pained voice ever and Bruce nearly shits himself.

Damian is all sorts of fucked up and weird and I'm not saying the Lazarus Pit was involved, but why else does Damian have an utterly insane healing factor? It's basically impossible to cut him cuz it's like his flesh instantly heals. At first Bruce is convinced that Damian was just taught really well for an 8 year old kid, dodging so many hits, until he realized that actually Damian was incredibly sloppy, he just never worried about getting hit cuz he healed so fast. One time, his hand got chopped off and Bruce was about to have a mental breakdown cuz "Oh god I failed my son." And Damian just holds up his already reforming hand like "father, chill the fuck out."

subtle ways to include foreshadowing

one character knowing something offhandedly that they shouldn't, isn't addressed until later

the crow rhyme

colours!! esp if like, blue is evil in your world and the mc's best friend is always noted to wear blue...betrayal?

write with the ending in mind

use patterns from tragic past events to warn of the future

keep the characters distracted! run it in the background until the grand reveal

WEATHER.

do some research into Chekhov's gun

mention something that the mc dismisses over and over

KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU PUT. don't leave things hanging.

unreliable characters giving information that turn out to be true

flowers and names with meanings

anything with meanings actually

metaphors. if one character describes another as "a real demon" and the other turns out to be the bad guy, you're kind of like...ohhh yeahhh

anyways add anything else in the tags

which one of u was going to tell me that tea tastes different if u put it in hot water?

Ok but hear me out:

Nico's Italian right? So if he were to naturally swear it would most definitely be in italian. But he's also from the 1930s/40s so he wouldnt swear, he was raised better than that.

But Will is a country boy (even if Austin, Texas isn't very country (or so I've heard, I'm British, I have no idea), Naomi is and you can't tell me other wise) and has lived in camp with little to no adult guidance for ages. Sooo he should have a very potty mouth.

So while Will cusses like a sailor, you have his boyfriend saying 'fiddle sticks' in italian.

Unrelated note: Did you know that the italian equivalent of by golly/by Jove is giurabbacco which, I kid you not, literally translates to 'I swear by Bacchus'.

So like hypothetically:

[In the dining pavilion]

A very tired Will: *drops something* F**[*insert colourful language here*]

Little 1930s-Catholic-raised Nico: *in utter shock and whispering* ...you swear so much...giurabbacco

Mr D on the other side of the pavilion: yes?

I’m so happy about this!

Mostly because they would be an absolutely adorable couple :)

Theyna is 100% cannon you guys

I read more mythology and they were actually allowed to date women so I’m changing the rules in my books to more closely follow the real mythology of them

Me, not being on Tumblr for a few days and forgetting to check on blogs I follow:

time to go Stalk (/pos) my favorite artists/authors!

I CANNOT BE STOPPED 🗣️ (If my oc was in the pjo universe because WHY NOT!)

Nonbinaries, y'all NEED to pick different names. I have four friends named Crow and it's getting really confusing

I don’t know how to describe it, but Percy looks mildly traumatized in literally the best way possible

"You can do it, Percy"

GAHAHAHAHAHA I LOVE PERCABETH SOOOOO MUCHHHH ...
