I'm So Honored - Blog Posts

Or both! It's in the works, but I'd love to read your take on it!

Ok, hear me out. An AU where Janet Drake is best friends with Lex Luthor, Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen.

They met in school, and she's a high society girl, not expected or allowed to be much more than a pretty face, but there's this trio of smart idiots (they did all sorts of stupid stuff at school, but they are overall very, very smart), and they're in all sorts of cool classes and extracurriculars, and she wants to learn

So, she snakes her way into the group with well-timed looks and blushes. They eventually include her in all their activities, and so she learns all sort of stuff that she usually wouldn't be allowed to learn, because they help her keep it in the down low. No, she's not taking classes with them, she's being a proper lady and cheering her smart friends on through the oh-so-hard classes.

At some point or another, they all develop a crush on her, fleeting as it may be (they're hormonal teens and they're required to flirt, it was bound to happen)

They flirt publicly, as it keeps the media from pressuring them into relationships— or so they thought. It backfires when they're adults, the media is demanding Janet settle down and stops leading all three of them on. But there would be a scandal if she picked any of them, so she picks Jack, someone who doesn't love her or she loves, but someone desperate enough to climb the social ladder to care if he loves his wife.

When he's not allowed to flirt anymore, that's where Bruce realizes that he actually liked her.

When Tim comes along, and Janet has to go on trips, she leaves him with her trusted friends. So, Tim learns a lot from his Uncle Lex, learns to shoot a bow from his Uncle Ollie, and loves staying with his Uncle Bruce and his children. He figures him out far too easily and does become Robin when Jason figures he's ready to pass on the mantle to his little brother (because they're brothers. Tim spends a lot of time in their house)

Bruce adores Tim, he really does. It just kinda hurts, that he's Janet's kid, but not his.

Eventually, Janet divorces Jack, and she gets to spend a lot more time in Gotham. But by now Tim is as much Bruce's as he is Janet's, so they co-parent the gremlin that is her son, which leads to a lot of time with Bruce.

Bruce treats her better than Jack ever did, and she trusts him far more. They have the memories of years together. Eventually, Bruce tells her the truth— that he never truly moved on from his best friend.

When they marry, sure it's a media circus, but also not a surprise.

She's also a good mom, to Tim as much as to Dick or Jason.

When Jason finds out Catherine is not his mom, sure he gets curious, but he has a mom already, he's happy. He does want to meet his bio mom, but he agrees to do so safely, not go alone. Fine, B, you can come with.

Joker never happens. Jason is disappointed when he finds his mom is not at all what he expected, and he has a much better one at home.

Eventually, when Damian comes into the picture, he's snappy with Janet. "you will never be my mother, you harlot!" but Janet simply puts a hand on his shoulder and speaks calmly, yet sharp as the blade he threatens her with

"You will not speak to me like that, boy. No, I am not your mother. But I am married to your father, and I hold the authority as such, so you will go up to your room, you will cool down, and you will never threaten or insult me again, or you will be grounded."

"You can't do that!"

"She can. She has my full permission to discipline my kids, Damian. In this house, she holds as much authority as I do." Bruce interjects

Damian, begrudgingly, learns to respect Janet, and eventually he does see her as a second mom

The amount of times Oliver or Lex visit the Wayne-Drake household is absurd, but sue them, they like their friends. This leads to a lot of chaos, because every time Oliver visits so does Roy, and Roy hangs out with Dick and Jason, while Damian sticks to glaring at everyone.

Meanwhile, they dote on Tim, because they sure as hell have a favourite nephew, and it's the one they watched grow inside the belly of one of their best friends, the one they all changed the diapers of, the one they've taught a lot of skills to, the one they helped raise in a way they never helped raise any of the other Wayne boys. They don't even try to hide their preference. Now, of course they like all their nephews, but it's always hilarious because when Tim is around his uncle Lex, he's ten times the evil mastermind he generally is, and Oliver encourages it, simply for the chaos, and so does Janet, while Bruce is downright terrified of the idea of Tim as a villain (everyone is)

These were my entries to Pragmagik's Legendary Beast of every type contest, and while none of them made the cut, I still absolutely love each of the Pokemon I made for this challenge. You guys think maybe one or two of them should be Mulvera canon at some point? More details about these guys down below

(Top Left) Sodeshi, the Fighting Type Legendary beast and The Student Pokemon Sodeshi trains its body to be as focused as possible, to the point it keeps the bell on its head still through any movement. It aims to become as powerful as the legendary beasts through its own power. (Top Middle) Yokana, the Bug Type Legendary beast and The Nymph Pokemon Yokana, unlike the other legendary beasts, doesn't run around the regions for reasons unknown. It prefers to relax and take its time, and also use its tail as bait for fishing. (Top Right) Mesako, the Ground type Legendary beast and the Mesa Pokemon Mesako act's as Ho-Oh's keeper of knowledge and history. The many layers that make up its back are said to hold thousands of years of historical documents that only Ho-oh can read. (Mid Left) Nekorei, the Ghost type Legendary beast and The Wandering Soul Pokemon Nekorei was once a great ally and friend of Ho-Oh who perished in a tragic accident. Nekorei was born from the soul of the fallen pokemon, following Ho-oh's trail as it questions why Ho-Oh failed to revive it like it did with the pokemon in the Burnt Tower (Center) Fafkishi, The Dragon Type Legendary beast and The Wyrm Pokemon Fafkishi radiates powerful Draconic energy, leaping across the land in a red blur so fast that people believe it flies. People leave it gifts of metals that it adores in return for its protection. It's believed Fafkishi represents the Legend that the Burnt Tower's tale became. (Mid Right) Nomizen, The Poison Type Legendary Beast and the Plague Bringer Pokemon Nomizen is said to spread tragedy like a plague, seeping a poison into the earth so great and terrible people akin it to liquid misery. It's long dirty fur collects and sheds toxic flakes. It's believed to be a representation of the tragedy itself of the Tower, though no one is sure if Nomizen is actually to blame. (Bottom Left) Kumoyo, The Flying type Legendary Beast and the Serene Night Pokemon Kumoyo dashes across the tops of clouds at night, often being seen as a soft light through the sky. Kumoyo is said to represent the peaceful night after the fire was put out, and as a sign from Ho-Oh that tragedies do eventually end. (Bottom Middle) Caitshi, the Rock Type Legendary Beast and the Valorant Pokemon Some stories say that the stones on Caitshi's back each represent a fallen warrior. Caitshi was brought to life from the soul of a hero after the original trio, to act as a guardian of the weak and as a thank you to those who helped save others during the Burning of the Brass Tower. (Bottom Right) Korosei, the Steel Type Legendary Beast and the Quicksilver Pokemon Korosei is a somber pokemon, dripping with mercury that flows along its back. It was born from the melted metal remains of the tower, as well as the sorrow of those left behind in the blaze. It has no ill will, however, as it has no anger. All it seeks to be is remembered and known.
