Legal trouble Ra’s dcxdp AU
Because of how the dcxdp phandom treats Constantine, I feel like there’s a true untapped market for Ra’s too. To start with as far as I’m aware people don’t clown on Ra’s enough for basically being the Batman of DC’s immortal cast. Homie practically has a paid checkmark for immortality. No healing factor or actual youth abilities just skill and a pit that makes him younger. Anyway that’s to say this random self proclaimed immortal who in all of his wisdom named himself the demons head centuries ago, probably wasn’t super original. And whatever demons he likely named himself after probably aren’t too fond of the guy just like Constantine. But what’s this? A new High King of the infinite realms? With free access to the realm of the living? Well sounds like it’s time to give Ra’s the Constantine treatment; and give him a subpoena or a cease and desist.
Ra’s probably doesn’t believe it to be real, I mean don’t demons have better things to do than legal work? (“It’s probably just Tim, the detectives best child soldier.”) Probably not, because if any fic with Constantine is any indication, it seems that they are contract wielders, gossipers, and whiners. An excellent combination to spring on Mr diet immortal.
Now apparently failing to show up when served a subpoena can result in fines (and in extreme cases imprisonment) and because these guys are sneaky the fine print clearly states such fines or consequences exist, but the finer print says he doesn’t need to be informed so slowly his coffers get drained periodically. Alternatively, while he might not notice his coffers draining for a good while, he would definitely notice his pits draining. That’s one of the points where it could go a few ways.
Ra’s is not allowed to dodge the summons and Walker being Walker shows up to bring him to court, leaving everyone wondering where he went.
Ra’s dodging and thinking the prank is done with doesn’t notice for a while that either his coffers or his pits are slowly decreasing.
Situation One or Two happens and then while making his way to Ra’s, Danny realizes that while Constantine has the most overall paperwork, Ra’s has been the most consistent, making the two of them the sources of his greatest annoyance. Upon realizing that fact and discovering the pit exists he decides on some petty revenge giving him a second legal notice on the repossession of property of the infinite realms and while he’s the one who’s draining the pits, the others are draining his coffers.
Imagine Batman just going “The league of assassins has been quiet lately” with Dick saying “Yeah they’re always quiet it’s kind of their job” just for Talia to show up saying Ra’s is missing and the only clue they could find was a subpoena that they get Constantine to look at and confirm authenticity.
I think we should have the Batfamily treat the batarangs like business cards. For both branding and comedic purposes. I’ve only really seen the bats having personal batarangs a few times. Like yeah, they all usually use the company provided stock batarangs, but they also have their own personal ones that they use if they really need to send a message of who threw it. (Or pass the blame for throwing it by using someone else’s).
Imagine a league member meeting some random Batfamily member for the first time and asking for an autograph and then they pull out a business card holder filled with batarangs. I’d imagine Steph doing that (they’re pre-signed and have an professional looking address that leads to a Waffle House), and when questioned she’d just say “It’s important to make a good impression when making connections and a good business card can help keep you in people’s mind” just quoting something Bruce probably told her once.
Here’s some ideas on how I think they could look. Obviously Batman has the stock batarangs along with all the evolutions it’s gone through over the years, nightwing has his Wingdings, but the one that can drive personalized rangs home are the Robin disks, because it feels like it’s really back and forth whether robins have their own designed rangs or just use the bat ones. Spoiler and signal could use purple and yellow ones, and I imagine red hood uses the red bat emblem on his chest. Orphan’s could look like stock batarangs at first glance but upon close inspection you’d find the stitched mouth design embossed or engraved in it. Red Robin I feel like would either keep using Robin disks but red or he’d redesign them using his “double R” logo.
I got nothing for the extended Batfamily since I haven’t read pretty much anything with them but off the top of my head I’d imagine Kate using batarangs that are outlined with red like her hair.
I’m seeing the Dani Dami combo gremlin duo, and I gotta say, great take, love the energy. Same to be said for the Jon Dami Dani trio, but I really feel like they’re missing a perfect opportunity considering the amount of times people write them as going to the same school. Because instead of Damian needing to go “Oh no, there’s two of them” about Jon and Dani. He should really be reserving that for the unprecedented combo of Dani and Maps “I will crawl through the secret tunnels of my school and meet Killer Croc in the sewer and make him an uncle” Mizoguchi. We could be having Damian looking at Maps, turn to Jon, and turn back around and now there’s Dani standing by and definitely enabling whatever insane plan Maps has come up with this time.

Alright new Brucie Wayne headcanon time.
We all know the classic “airheaded Brucie Wayne doesn’t understand the prices of everyday objects because of his wealth” take. We also generally know that even as Bruce Wayne he probably still has a fairly skewed understanding of what counts as affordable due to being in the rich part of the city. Realistically even as Batman he probably objectively knows what the economy of Gotham looks like for the most part but is still a little out of touch due to basically never going into a supermarket.
Now for the twist, what if during those years away training and basically becoming Ryu from Streets, he did end up learning the price of commodities like food and clothes, BUT he only knows it for other countries currency.
Imagine if that knowledge casually translated to Brucie, where he’s giving an interview or he’s on a tv show like jeopardy or family feud, and they ask him some question like “How much do you think it costs to buy 8 apples?” And Brucie Wayne just pulls out some random currency to approximate it. Almost nobody knows what the current exchange rate is between these different currencies off the top of their head and Brucie doesn’t seem to be able to convert it either.
It becomes a whole thing, where anytime someone asks Brucie how much something cheap costs he’ll answer in any other currency besides the U.S. Dollar.
Now imagine if someone decided to specify that his answer needs to be in USD, he just takes a moment stares off into the distance and when they decide to finally ask if he’s alright he just goes “oh no sorry, I just needed to convert it. It’d be about x amount of money USD.” Just completely blowing the concept that yes, Brucie Wayne is capable of converting between these random currency exchange rates off the top of his head, yes he can do math mentally, and yes he knows what the price of these everyday goods are, but only in other countries, thereby proving previous claims, that he was just getting lucky pulling random numbers off the top of his head, were false.
Even more remarkable is sometimes when it’s looked into, the only places with prices as low as Brucie suggests in that particular currency are basically slums which brings up a whole new slew of questions, like “WHY DOES BRUCIE WAYNE SEEM INTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH THE SLUM PRICES OF THIS TINY TOWN IN ANOTHER COUNTRY”
Just adds a whole new dimension of lore to Brucie Wayne that Gothamites could go nuts over.
I’ve been going nuts listening to HalaCG’s “Gambler” song, if anyone has any recommendations for similar sounding pseudo-operatic songs. I need to hear them.
Just remembered that Samus Aran has genetic modifications, and then thought about her saying “Scott Steiner math” and now I’m surprised nobody ever uses that for incorrect quote memes cause like, “I’m a genetic freak, I’m not normal…” and “I got 141 2/3 chance of winning” are some insane quotes. Especially in full quotation
Just started playing ZZZ, and somehow I’m the only one of all my friends who’s going to be playing it so I guess I might be a ZZZ blog for a bit so I can talk about it. I love the animation style, the squash and stretch is really funny, the Cunning Hares are epic girlfailures and a lot of the expressions remind me of Girls band cry. I’ve got some grinding to do it f2p but here’s hoping my fellow shark, Ellen, comes home.
Got Von Lycaon from the standard banner at 50 pulls, now I just need to get Ellen to come home like that
If Nerfs are supposed to be the Star Wars equivalent for cows, do they have a profession called nerfboy that every other child thinks would be rad or does bounty hunter and outlaw just fill that niche
It’s so Joever, we lost the Ellen 50/50 yesterday
Got Koleda at 76 pulls and am now working to speedrun as many pulls as I can before the banner ends. I’ve stocked up 30 more pulls and don’t know how many more I can stockpile before it’s joever for good
Meanwhile I got sharkboo at 30 pulls so here’s hoping Ellen decides to feel the same this time.
I did manage to c6 Soukaku for nine total soukakus pulled so far
TOP 0.01% LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
I got the Top 4.47% on this English Vocabulary test
