A Penny and the Boy Pharaoh situation

I was having a good time here when I remembered Mr. Peabody and Sherman, I love them, and, as a bonus, Penny.

If I'm not mistaken, there's a time when Penny goes back in time with Peabody and Sherman and they end up in ancient Egypt, and there they meet this boy, who became a pharaoh early on (I think, it's been a while since I watched it and I don't remember well), and he falls in love with Penny, and tries to make her fall in love with him by giving her gifts, and when that doesn't work, he kind of tries to force her, but Peabody and Sherman manage to get her out of there and stuff.

So, I, at my peak of creativity-for-everything-but-new-caps-for-my-fics-or-for-my-au, thought; "Why not do a version of this, but with the Batfam?"

And now I have this in my head, like, there are two versions, where they go back in time, and because of their cryptid shenanigans, they get mistaken for deities or something, and the Egyptians try to workshop them, or, they end up on this other planet, or hidden world, like Themyscera, or something, and the people there look at these cryptids and think; "Oh! Exotic pets!" or something.

I don't know if I would put the entire Batfam on the trip together or if it would just be a few, but I definitely want Dick to be Penny.

Like, in my cryptid Batfam headcanons, I like Dick (as an adult) to have this seductive, mermaid-like vibe. You know what I mean? So he would definitely be the one to have a pharaoh/authority figure simping for him.

Like:

★•°=================•°•●•°•================°•★

Egyptians, seeing a flock of winged creatures, intelligent and clever, with animal characteristics:

Egyptians: *Looks at murals of their gods, human bodies with animal characteristics*

Egyptians

Egyptians: Are they deities? Demigods?

Batfam: *Cold sweat as they definitely don't want to cause changes to the timeline.* Uhm...

——

The Pharaoh, looking at a Dick, with all his natural charm, plus, the incorporation of the mermaid vibe into his cryptid persona: Is this what love at first sight looks like?

Dick, seeing as how his choice came to bite him in the ass in the worst way possible: Oh no.

Rest of the Batfam minus Bruce: *Outside cool, inside laughing like gazelles.*

Bruce, going into full protective dad mode: Do. Not. Even. Dare. You. *Squints menacingly at the Pharaoh*

——

The Pharaoh simping over Dick: Here *precious jewels and gold.*

Dick "raised as a billionaire's son after the age of 5, once even replicating the scene of Uncle Scrooge swimming in money when a kid" Grayson-Wayne: Uh... no need, sir *crooked smile that looks more like a grimace.*

——

Servants trying to put gold accessories and other precious stones on the winged demigod by the Pharaoh's orders: Wait please!-

Dick receiving small shocks from the wing sensors bc they were programmed to warn when something gets between the feathers and can make difficult to fly: GET IT OFF MY WINGS, GET IT OOOOOFFFFFFFF AAAARGGGHHHH- *Writhing in hatred and discomfort.*

The Pharaoh seeing that this is stressing the demigod instead of pleasing him: Damn it! Stop, stop before he hates me more-

——

Bruce, arms crossed: *Squinting suspiciously.*

The Pharaoh trying to gain the favor of the father of the demigod he wants to court: Hi *Nervous laughter.*

The Pharaoh: For you. *Shows typical offerings of the time for him.*

Bruce "Man that literally come from the future with his family" Wayne: What the- *Disgusted.*

The Pharaoh: WhAt DiD i Do WrOnG tHiS tImE!?!?

——

Bastard child crying:

The Pharaoh irritated: Get rid of th-

Dick, pissed off at the situation: DON'T YOU DARE FINISH THAT SENTENCE! *Cryptid growls as he cradles the child protectively.*

The Pharaoh in a cold sweat: I-understood... *Intimidated but also attracted?*

The child's mother: My son-

Dick: Take him *Hands the child to the mother with a gentle and friendly smile that he uses to talk to victims.*

The Pharaoh who only gets grimaces: Why isn't he like ThAt WiTh Me??

——

The Pharaoh: *Trying again (and failing) to woo Dick*

Dick: *Running away again*

Jason: HA! *points and laughs.*

Damian, being held like a feral cat by Jason: *Unholy screams of anger and disgust.*

Kate: Hahaha, it's like when Bruce had to run away from fangirls at school again!

Bruce, being held like a feral cat by Kate: *Unholy screams of anger and disgust.*

——

Duke nervous: uhn, what are you guys doing...?

Damian: Setting up a political coup plot to remove that unworthy pharaoh from the throne as punishment for his sins.

Bruce: *Covering Damian's mouth with his hand* More like a...prank, to stop him from chasing after Dick.

Damian squirming away from Bruce's hand: That's what I said, Father.

Duke: Oh I'm in.

Bruce: The more the better. Look, we gonna...*Proceeds to explain the state political coup plan that ends with the beheading of the pharaoh.*

Duke raised an eyebrow: I thought we don't kill if it's not necessary?

Bruce: The people will decide his fate.

Damian: And killing is indeed necessary in this situation.

Duke: *Shrugs* Okay, whatever you say.

Rewatched one of the Tom and Jerry movies called Tom and Jerry: The Lost Dragon, and it just seemed funny that Tom was considered the Mama throughout the film since he was the first person the Puffy saw when they were born.

And i joked around that Tom would look good as “The Mother of Dragons”, some type of Game of Thrones jokes was what i was toying with the film about

Though that was when i decided to start planning on making an AU about Jerry being a bartender and coming across Tom who’s the “Mother of Dragons”

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON SLOWBURN!!!

also another question (you can answer either) what do you think of sick fics?

these are like my favorite things ever i wanna know what you think :3

I LOVEEEE slowburn SOSOSO MUCH!!! ITS MY FAV!!! I especially love angsty miscommunication slowburn sm!! GOD GOD GOD ONE OF MY FAVVVV EVER IS COLLEGE ROOMATES SLOWBURN BECAUSE LIKE. IT JUST MAKES ME INSANE. I especially love when like one character is just super obviously flirting and way into the other one but the other character is like 'theres NO WAY. Theyre like that with everyone for sure'

I've actually never read a sick fic, mostly because I'm not a huge fan, but I have one in my drafts right now so that's fun!!

Wow so unrequited feelings fuckbuddies is not as fun irl as it is in fanfic

Sometimes a person tries to confess their love for their enemy and comes up with profound shit like, "Because I'd find you even if this entire divided world worked together for once just to tear us apart, your soul and mine are made of the same stuff, and we'll have to change atom to atom to be anything other than each others. Because even if you tired to stab me it'll only work to cut of some ancient infected wound, because you'll always be my savior, even if you try to hurt me"

Other times they say shit like, "Because maybe I like your stupid face."

"Remember when I said I would rather cut of my own lips than kiss you?Yeah, I might have been a little wrong."

"Maybe I don't hate being around you when you're not trying to kill me."

Wow, the first confession turned out pretty good. I'm trying to reach 500 follows pls halp

Can more authors balantly self insert themselves into the side characters who constantly voice their shipping feels at the most inappropriate moments that's just good stuff. Like

"I hate you!" "I hate you more!!" *appearing uncomfortably close to their faces from God knows where* "Now kiss."

Two same gender people *glaring intensely at each other* "that's gay babes"

A *compliments B* "I ship it bitches!"

Just top tier comedy. Love.

Pls help me grow by rebloging and following

My basic bitch trait is I'll always flip a table for the painfully cliche enemies to lovers trope of calling the other sweetheart or love or darling or shit derogatory at the start and both getting used to it and it slowly becoming affectionate.

AND, when they fight when they fight they don't call them that at all instead of it being condescending again because their relationship has fundamentally changed to the point of no return. AND and if their partner feels the absence and misses it so deeply realising the effed up. I will ascend to a higher plane bitch

Pls follow and reblog

Enemies to lovers things that make me go ahHh— Angst edition promt

After being vulnerable with each other and revealing their deep secrets, something brings them back on opposite sides and they're fighting (combat optional but preferred) and the villian's so frustrated that they're fighting when they don't want to but because they have issues™ they react by trying to hurt hero more than them, pushing them farther and farther making them angrier, until they say that one thing and the hero stops and then their face visibly crumbles, looking shaken and hurt and betrayed, BETRAYED. And because the villian sucks they feel satisfied for a sec before it truly settles and they realise what they did and immediately start to regret it but it's too late the hero saw them be pleased. It's already over for the hero.

Book tropes & dynamics i love (in no order)

*literally has a knife to their throat* "wait, youre kinda cute"

My girlfriend doesn’t remember this but the way we started dating is quite literally an enamies to friend to lovers pipeline.

Said pipeline goes as follows

In 6th grade math class we had to do an assignment with a partner and my favorite person happened to be in that class so obviously I was gonna pair up with her, but she had decided to do it with somebody else instead. My autistic 11 year old self thought of this as a rejection and so I didn’t bother trying to find somebody else to partner up with.

Well doing the assignment myself wasn’t an option for some reason so the teacher tried to pair me up with the only other kid that didn’t have a partner. But because this person wasn’t me favorite person I couldn’t work with them. So I threw a fit and was sent to the little side room that the classroom had to fill out a “green sheet” (basically a behavior sheet).

So I did that and then sulked under the table because what else was I to do. About half way through the class the teacher being the kid in with the paper and leaves us to it. Despite how much I hated it I worked with my now mortal enemy (at least in my mind) to complete the paper. At the end of class we leave and go about our lives (and the teacher ripped up the green sheet so like what was even the point of having me do it wtf miss Gardner)

I ignore the kid in the halls because I am incapable of letting go of anything and for some reason I saw the fact that the teacher forced us to work together as their fault. Covid hits, school closes, Covid more or less ends, school reopens and the kid is in my choir class.

Time has passed so I’m more or less Indifferent to their existence in my space. My friends become friends with them tho so over the course of a month or so I become friends with them. Then in November my boyfriend at the time tells me that my now girlfriend has a crush on me. My bf was poly and so our relationship was kind of an open deal so after class I decided to ask the person about it.

WELL APPARENTLY WHILE I HAD MY HEADPHONES IN BEFORE TALKING TO THEM ABOUT IT THEY STRAIGHT CONFESSED TO ME AND I JUST DIDNT HEAR IT. SO HERE I AM LIKE AN ASSHOLE LIKE A MINUTE AFTERWARDS GOING “hey so, Kodi said you have a crush on me. Is that true?” AND THIS ABSOLUTE SAINT JUST GOES “yeah. I just told you that”

So anyways like the idiot who didn’t know I was aromantic yet I was at the time I asked them if they wanted to date. They say yes, we start dating, a year later she tells me she’s trans, nada bing bada boom I have a girlfriend with a gorgeous flower name (Dahlia), she has a fucking idiot as a partner and life’s all good.

Then I decided to tell my best friend (the favorite person from 6th grade the worked with somebody else forcing me to work with my now gf [thanks Janie couldn’t have done it without you]) about the whole story and this mf says “oh so like real life enemies to lovers. Your love story is a fanfic trope”.

And oh my god.

I both hate and love that fact with all my heart

(Dahlia my love if you see this I’m sorry I was such a cunt in 6th grade)

Enemies to lovers exept it's Enemies to Crime fighting detective adopts criminal because they realized they just needed some proper parental guidance in their life

Let's face it,

Having an enemy sounds waaaayyy more interesting than having a soulmate. I want somebody to deeply stare into my eyes with passion as they insult me, and I stare back just as deeply and passionate while also insulting them. Somebody that I have LOTS of Tension™ with.

Life's boring and predictable. Give me someone that's the opposite of that, not someome that the universe decided to pair me up with.

In other words, fuck kisses! I WANNA FIGHT!!!

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

Sometimes I pause and wonder why I like childhood friends to lovers tropes so much especially when there’s mutual pining involved and both of them kinda just not saying anything but still not dating/sleeping with anybody else either even when they think they have no chance. and that’s when I remember I’m Demi-aro and ace no fucking wonder I like that trope, its almost as if it’s the exact situation in which I would ever be in a relationship but nope I have not a clue why I like it, none at all.

A cheesy, cringy romantic trope that I go weak in the knees for is when character A and B are looking at the sky and character A says "the stars are so beautiful" and then character B says "yeah. beautiful" but they're looking at character A.

I go feral every time
