slugs for brains

but most importantly i jus want suo to have a motorcycle, and i think itd also be funny watching him try to keep it from everyone else, especially bcs he doesnt have a house

and for the case that mikey and suo do get raised together and r close, i think their relationship would be fun, like mikeys childishness and suos snark, i can jus imagine how much they buttheads and probably get into impromptu fights, mostly started by mikey

but also also, the fact that suo would be getting more and more distraught by the day because of mikeys curse worsening by the day, hell maybe like with sanzu, mikey another episode earlier on and hes the one who damaged suos eye, yet still suo is devoted to being by his side and helping him bcs thats his day one, and suo leaves makochi when mikey disbands toman and disappears

dont kno why suo would go to makochi in this au, jus like im quite clueless as to why he did in cannon, so im jus gonna say he got kicked out of everyother school in a 2 hr vicinity for gang activities (i kno it doesnt make sense, i jus think its funny if everyone in bofurin, who sees suo as like an ideal student type, found out hes basically barred from all other schools [suos jus like: yeah this is the only school whod let me in after they saw my records, yall got really low standards, which makes sense, this school doesnt even have teachers, might as well still not be in school lol]), and this could be for either him starting to go to makochi for middle, or kinda switching it and having him only start to make an appearance in highschool and he is also seen as an outsider

i fear the possibilities r endless and i will not be getting any kind of sleep any time soon as i will be stuck thinking about this for a while

woah, thought i was gonna end this post but i jus remembered something super important, takemitchy and nirei. suo probably got whiplash the first time he saw nirei, especially since nirei was the first to bring up actual info on him. tho of course maybe that changes, or nirei a dif point in time alludes to this different gang or gangs hes been following in tokyo bcs theyve been very active as of recent, and suo is trying to not sweat bullets as nirei shares vague details of a captain named sun fei, or maybe jus a vague description but suo tries to brush it off saying theres plenty of people with earings and similar hair cuts, and nirei can help but relent bcs he also has some info on izana lol. but yeah maybe he keeps barely catching himself from calling takemitchy, nirei and vice versa. another maybe, maybe suo also helps train takemitchy.

and of course this can be mirrored with sugishita and baji, except suo internally appreciates sugishita for being quiter. or if we wanna get angsty, suo jas trouble looking at sugishita for a period of time bcs he keeps reminding him of baji or suo has a period of time where hes absolutely losing it everytime he sees sugishita fighting cus all he sees is baji dying, and it leads him to do a lot of drastic things to keep him safe

ok now i think im down..... for now

nevermind one last thot, chifuyu comes to pick suo one day (suos bike is in the shop or something) and he catches sight of sugishita and now theyre both spiraling. yippee!

suo did not beat nireis ass jus for them to get involved in whatever mess hes in, theyre supposed to want nothing to do with him, not save him with the power of friendship

i want him to get mad and desperately scream at them to get tf out, he doesnt want them there (in my personal hc its bcs he sees himself and his issues as a burden, and would rather stab his other eye out than see the people he cares about get hurt because of him [jus love suo whump, what can i say])

and i want everyone (that includes his brothers [btw is this a safe space, can i share how much i love rakta and bacchus, like please i need a whole damn spin off of them and suo]) to be frozen in shock, absolutely bewildered and bamboozled by this display of desperation

i also think it would make it that much better if suo is also visibly disheveled, like u can clearly see the toll that his duties has been taking on him, eyebags, his too big robe is slipping, strands of hair refusing to stay in place, visible weight loss, THE WHOLE SHABANG YKNO

or maybe it isnt even like a physical fight, class 1-1 + umemiya could be like confronting suo and some harsh words are thrown out and some of the kids rush out to defend him

Huey Freeman would make a great Robin. He is so goddamn skilled, so smart, amazing moral compass, and will keep Bruce's rich white ass in check. Can you imagine the shit Huey would get done if he had Bruce's wallet. I imagine there would also be a lot of disputes between the two, but what Robin doesn't argue with Batman.

And while I do like thinking of Huey being part of the Batfam, I do think (knowing his character) it would be more likely that his proximity to Bruce Wayne would be more like Steph, where there isn't any like familial or adopting/fostering ties between them. Kinda like how Tim used to be, where his dad was still alive so he really was just Bruce's neighbor in their real identities; just replace it with Granddad. Does that make sense? Or did I explain that poorly... sorry.

At first I just thought this idea was fun cause I was watching the Boondocks and was reminded of just how much ass Huey kicks. But the more I think about it in my head (and the more I rewatch the Boondocks) the more I start using Huey to project some of the plot holes I feel isn't addressed in Batman comics (for lowkey obvious reasons) when it comes to the extent of systematic change Bruce could be making as Bruce wealthy billionaire elite who uses most of his money to be batman Wayne. And before anyone gets on me, I know Bruce does charity work and philanthropy, that doesn't change the fact that as a billionaire (which is unethical in itself) he could be doing more and there are certain systematic problems that Bruce isn't ever seen addressing in the comics.

But anyway, I could rant about that forever, but I don't really feel like it right now. Right now I want to keep thinking of how cool Huey would be as Robin. Him and Damian would probably have some epic sparring battles, swords and bare knuckles. I dunno if Huey would be a robin before Damian or something happens he does end up taking the mantle from Damian, even if it is just for a bit like with what happened with Steph. Y'all might hate me, but now I'm kinda thanking maybe he should just have his own vigilante persona, but also have a little moment where he took up the robin mantle in someone else's absence. Cause now I'm feeling that Huey wouldn't be the type to take on someone else's legacy but create his own yknow. Silly of me to pretty much switch up at the end here lol.

Also, with the way Riley finds a way to always reach his idols, I think it would be funny if he found a way to track Red Hood and try to get close with him because he thinks the crime lord is really cool. Bonus: also another way to bother his brother.

BUT then I also thought itd be great if the reason Jason is avoiding the rest of the Batfam is not because hes mad or anything but because hes cursed and hes constantly afraid that he might get the hurt or worse.

i also have a feeling if damain and house were to work in the same hospital, theyd hate each other and do their best to one up the other

dumb name, i kno, my bad (๏ᴥ๏υ)

who wants to see me take another one of my fav childhood shows and present them to the batfamily like some sacrificial offering. doesnt matter what u jus said cuz ima do it anyways :)

Okay so I'm thinking that Constantine and Benny's grandma are like old acquaintance, like maybe he picked up a few things from her. Or maybe he got himself stuck in the past and that is where he met a young Evelyn Weir and they really hit it off (romantically or platonically, whatever u want i dont really care, jus kno they got along). Until Constantine was forced to go back to his original time, but she still found a way to contact the man, though she's never used it. She had already moved on with her life so she decided it would be best if they went their separate ways. She'd hear tales and rumor about him here and there, stories that made her chuckle and reminded her of old times, but at the end of the day it was all still in the past.

Now why is this important. Well because the show ended on such a weird cliffhanger, I take that as permission to do whatever the fuck I want with it. So I'm changing the ending. The part where Ethan is in Vice Principal Stern's mind, I see it as Ethan pushing Stern to abuse the Lucifractor in a way that backfires on Stern. Not sure how exactly though cause the show never explained it, that magic nuke that they were all so afraid of went off and we have no idea what its effects are.

Like we know it like drains dark energy from vampires to a point where it can kill them, and that dark energy can be directed onto others. So I'm gonna say when Stern uses the Lucifractor it quite literally nukes Whitechapel.

Erica and Rory were able to make it out with Anastasia and the rest of the Vampire Council, of course cause we see that at the end of the last episode. But they never indicate anything for Ethan, Benny, Sarah, and Jesse. So in my head Evelyn gave Benny some sort of sigil for teleportation that leads to, you guessed it, Constantine or maybe the House of Mystery. Evelyn had kept it as like a failsafe, a way to contact Constantine only for emergencies. She decided to give it to Benny, telling him to use it if they need to get out quickly, that it will take them to a an old friend of hers.

So Benny activates the sigil and teleports into the House of Mystery where Constantine is in the process of getting drunk.

Constantine: *slowly looks up from his drink, taking in the disheveled kids (+ Jesse)* The fuck are you lil' shits doing here? Actually, how'd you even get 'ere? At this point, none of them know where they are or the fact that Whitechapel has been nuked (and everyone the know is dead ʘ‿ʘ). All they know (or well really just Benny) is that Evelyn trusts this man and that he could help them. Benny: I -uh. Hi . . . um- I'm Benny and uh these are my friends —except that one *points an accusing finger at Jesse, who just mockingly pouts with his hands over his heart* — and um my grandma sent me here. She said u could help. Uh Evelyn? Constantine: *head snaps up, eyes are wide, and the grip on his glass tightens* Evelyn?! Evelyn Weir?! Where is she? *stands up suddenly and unsteadily, swaying slightly* You're her grandson? *eyes bulging out of his head* She had kids! Benny: *side-eyeing Ethan, wondering if this is really the person his grandma was referring to when she mentioned capable sorcerer* Uh- yeah buddy, she had kids. And she's in Whitechapel currently in some sort of comatose/catatonic state because of some evil wizard dude who has the Lucifractor, and has just set off some magic bomb. So if you could help us out, like my grandma said you would, then that's be sick. Constantine: THE LUCIFRACTOR! Benny: Yeah, pal. Please try an keep up, we're kinda on a time crunch. Constantine doesn't even bother to let Benny finish before he's already scrambling away from the couch towards the fire place. He recites some words in Latin while flicking some powder into the fire place. All of a sudden the fire roars, bursting out and showing off an image. It shows a town on fire, there is a crater at the center with the surrounding areas being littered with the ruins of buildings. Not even the outer edges of this town were left standing. It takes a while before the group realizes they are looking at Whitechapel. It's unrecognizable, there is nothing but ash left.

Ethan, Benny, and Sarah are taking a moment to come to terms with the fact everyone they know and love is dead (they don't know Erica and Rory made it out) and their home in general is now a wasteland. Constantine is lowkey mourning Evelyn (again). Jesse, honestly, doesn't really care, but he's got nothing better to do so he decides to stick around.

I dunno how long it takes, but eventually Sarah is the one to point out that they should probably find the Vampire Council. The Vampire Council had moved to one of their other locations, Gotham. Things had mostly been kept on the down low, because everything was being handled mostly in Whitechapel, so no one was aware of the Gotham branch of the Vampire Council. Except for a few magic users, like Constantine.

I dunno what kind of conflict I want. It could be like a vampire civil war now that Anastasia has decided to establish herself in Gotham, conflicting with whoever was previously in control while she was in Whitechapel. The bats would get involved and work with Sarah, Ethan, Benny, Jesse, and Constantine. There would be a moment where they could find out that Erica and Rory are still alive, feel some relief and joy, only to learn that the two are being mind controlled by Anastasia and being forced to be her soldiers.

I also had this idea where it could be a war between the Court of Owls and the Vampire Council. . .

Ethan and Benny are the perfect adoption bait for Bruce. Though I imagine that Benny would fall under Constantine's care more. Mainly because Benny quickly realizes how strong of a warlock Constantine is and wants to learn from (also clearly this person was important to his grandma, and he might be forming an attachment with the guy now that she's gone). I also believe that Constantine would find himself growing fond of the kid as well, and may even be in awe at the amount of power Benny holds (clearly seeing pieces of Evelyn in him).

The rest of the batfamily is quickly growing attached to Ethan, I mean cmon, who wouldn't. He such a cute lil' nerdy guy. And Bruce can grumble all he likes about magic and whatever, but he also can't deny he's growing fond of the kid. Ethan is trying to suppress the grief of losing his family, instead choosing to put everything into whatever is going on with the Vampire Council. He also may be wary at growing attached to more people, or even the idea of becoming part of a new family so soon after he lost his own (also wanna take this moment to establish Ethan, Benny, and Sarah are traumatized and fiercely protective of one another, completely unwilling to see the each other hurt or in danger). The batfam notices this, I like thing Cass is the first one to bring it up with Ethan who just brushes it off.

I like to imagine him and Duke hitting it off because its clear, while the rest of the batfam is chill with them, they still dont get what its like to be a meta or have magic in Gotham/under Batman's scrutiny. It leads to them being way more confident to just fuck around with their abilities with one another. I'd also find it funny if the bats get used to just handing Ethan shit and waiting for him to tell them whats up with it, except for Bruce who still doesn't like magic and grumbles about contaminating evidence (which is lowkey fair). Like Tim comes up to him with a knife, cause he can't be bothered to deal with this kinda shit (he's got 10 other cases on his desk and a company to run) and he's complaining about how there's no finger prints on it, and Ethan just touches it and is like "yeah, the butler did it."

I think it's be cool to play around with the fact Stern had cursed Ethan to use his fear against him, which was seeing all the people he cared about dead (which is like almost true now). Like Ethan gets hit with fear gas but he doesn't react much to it because he's already been through this. The rest of the batfam are wondering if it doesn't affect him because of his magic and Ethan's just like "Oh no, it is. Just I've kinda already done this whole fear conquering thing before so. . ."

Sarah on the other hand, the moment she finds out Erica is alive and under Anastasia's control is doing everything in her power to get Erica (and Rory) back. SUE ME I THINK THAT ERICA AND SARAH ARE CUTE TOGETHER AND THEY'D BE A WAY BETTER COUPLE THAN SARAH AND ETHAN! I MEAN COME ON BADASS LESBIAN VAMPIRE COUPLE! I wanna see them hold hands and be soft with each other, while simultaneously being completely ready to pulverize anyone who even dares to look at the other wrong!

I also believe that Stephanie and Rory are basically twins separated at birth. Like they meet and everyone is like "Oh god. There's two of them now."
