Alien: how are you doing that task with your eyes closed?
Human, knitting with their eyes closed: muscle memory.
Alien: muscle what now?
Human, opening their eyes: our muscles learn how to perform tasks without us thinking about it. So I can close my eyes while I knit because I know how a stitch should feel, and my muscles can do it with very little visual supervision.
Alien: you can do regular tasks without seeing what you're doing? You just do these tasks automatically? Because your muscles have their own brain?? That's terrifying!
Human: that's not quite...
Alien: fucking terrifying
Human: OK yeah sure that's how it works. Why not.
Billy: I don't want to be adopted by anyone from the League. Batman asked and I had to buy him an ice cream cause I felt bad for saying no.
Freddy: Ha, at least no one tried anymore, right? Eugene and I have a betting pool, so please tell me they hate you
Billy: Haha. I mean, Wonder Woman kinda seems like she wants to? She pretty much tackled me into a hug and made me regret drinking coffee-
Freddy: Backtrack. Backtrack. Wonder Woman. Wants to adopt you.
Billy: I mean, yeah, but of course I said no-
Freddy: WONDER WOMAN. WANTS TO ADOPT US.
Billy: I don't see how this relates to you but-
Freddy, writing in the Shazam Fam GC: everybody buckle up new mom just dropped
-
Diana, proudly showing off pictures of her newly adopted kids: And this is my beloved Mary. My beloved Eugene. My beloved darling Darla, and my beloved Pedro, and my beloved Freddy, and my beloved Billy. They enjoy video games and snacks
Bruce, taking this as an obvious challenge, taking out the Batfamily Batalbum: This is Jason. His favorite hobby is murder
DP X DC Prompt #45
Gotham has a new rouge. Except he only steals food and medical supplies in great quantities.
(Jack takes Danny and runs to Gotham after a Reveal gone Wrong where Maddie tries to kill Danny)
Logically, I know that when League found out about Billy, he proceeded to act super mature and even manage to be the bigger person. However, if I was ten and a bunch of adults I trusted started yelling at me, I would start crying.
Human, talking to Alien about a bully: So, what you're never going to fight back?
Alien: I am of a prey species, we are not capable of fighting back.
Human: So, what? You'd just stand there and let something eat you??
Alien, flapping its flipticles in helpless anxiety: What else can we do? We are not born with the ability to do harm. We are plant-eaters.
Human: What's that got to with it? The most dangerous animal on Earth is a herbivore and it's a bulletproof tank of pure bloodlust.
2nd Human, who was listening in: Also most herbivores can and will eat meat if they get the chance to scavange on smaller corpses.
for the record, if you have never watched Farscape: it is a show about an American astronaut who gets stranded in space with a bunch of aliens. this description is technically accurate but tells you nothing about the actual experience of watching the show.
if it helps any, please consider that the main characters are, in no particular order:
a jock who’s very good at math and surprisingly good at feelings
an ex-space cop who combines the fighting-for-her-life aptitude of Ellen Ripley with the understanding-her-own-emotions aptitude of Seven of Nine
Space Javert
a big weird puppet friend with like 12 arms. you will want to hug him.
Fun Worf
“wow i wonder how she got so calm and centered, she seems very wise” “oh yeah i used to be an EXTREMELY violent anarchist and I’m holding onto my chill by my fingernails at all times”
like, what if Yoda had 0 wisdom to impart and was just a horrible little bastard man who only wanted to do crimes
alien girl on Space Rumspringa except she’s never going back because on her home planet feelings are illegal
put me in the 1 inch x 1 inch x 1 inch box coach!!! I'm all fired up, I'm ready!!!!!
I don’t know if anyone has ever done this before but, here ya go… The Different Types of Fanfiction!
I probably left a few out, but these are the most common, compared to their base fiction’s canon plot. Enjoy! XD
A mark on your forehead identifies the god you must worship to stay alive, usually by joining its local church or temple. Your mark is unknown, meaning an old, forgotten god sponsored you. To survive, you must either find an old temple to worship at, or do the arduous task of building a new one
Asterix fans, I had an idea...
