stranger things pokemon AU

I mentioned posting these designs here at some point but I wanted to wait until ZA was out so here they are! These are from last year, there's a Patreon collection for all of my pokemon AU posts.

I've talked more about this on patreon but in summary:

Broken lineage

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

Bonus:

Despite the fact the he desperately wants to bring back his own pre-Crisis Earth (and save Lois while he’s at is), this Kal-L/Superman has to concede that Dick Grayson is just as wonderful on this “corrupted” Earth as he is on the “perfect” (Golden Age) Earth-Two.

And to Bruce, that’s enough.  As terrible as post-Crisis Earth may be, it is worth saving because of Dick Grayson.

The body won’t shed - this body won't shed - Chapter 1 - ucancallmeivy - Batman - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Like you can make up ur choice of bird or bat themed sidekick to ride along with batman during their tenure at his side and that's cool but the title is Batman&Robin. Like they are thee dynamic duo.

So what I'm saying is, in a reverse robins AU no matter whose sidekick is the first and what name they take inevitably the best team up is Gonna end up being 40+ yrold Bruce Wayne and 8 yrold Dick Grayson.

Like the drama there y'all!? Not just in sibling rivalry, because I'm sure they were all good sidekicks in their own right, but Dick and Bruce together are just different.

Dick as Robin comes out of the corner with a steel chair leaving everyone stunned because he's the best of them. It's not even a competition. If he's not the first then everything from the way he moves, the way he quips, the way he fights, makes him the last.

I can't imagine getting a new little sibling who is just suddenly like a fuckin prodigy out of nowhere. And like yeah obviously he's gonna make mistakes and get into fights with Bruce and constantly be learning.

But can u imagine those older Batkids getting to stand back and watch in awe as Batman&Robin is born. As this little kid who lost everything, home to no place but a circus cart and with nothing but the clothes on his back, creates a legend in Gotham. A legend the city holds their fuckin breath to see born because Robin is magic.

Just...like can u imagine how devestating and amazing that would be as a previous batman sidekick? He's not even a replacement for you because he's so different he's, dare anyone say, better.

To me the most poignant part of this Reverse Robins idea is that without Dick Grayson you don't have Robin.

Cuz when you get down to it every Batkid has worn the Robin costume, with the exception of Cass. (BECUZ Duke WAS ROBIN read We Are Robin 🙄)

Meaning every single one of those kids, in cannon, is chasing after the ideal kid-gilante that Dick Grayson left behind.

Every. Single. One.

And then a Reverse Robins AU asks you to think about those same kids without the shadow of Robin. Which is incredibly interesting! Because while I don't think Damian would create a worse or inherently less appealing/impactful first sidekick for Bman, on the contrary I think a young Damian would make an incredibly compelling and heartbreaking sidekick, he couldn't/can't create Robin. It's not who he is.

The same goes for Duke, Tim, and Jason who would follow after him. None of these kids could create Robin.

Fundamentally they can't, Robin's creation so singularly belongs and is unique to Dick Grayson, it's LITTERALLY the name his mother gave him.

But beyond that, the reason it's so poignant to me is that even after the RR Batkids have grown out of the roll of Batman's sidekicks, learned their own lessons, and moved on, I think the first time they see Robin still has to be a life changing moment for all of them!

So much of these charcters development belongs to or is in part because of the time they spent as Robin, because Robin meant something special to all of them.

For Damian it was legacy, for Duke it was the power to make a change, for Tim it was his childhood dream, for Jason it was a chance to fight back.

And I think while they still reach those developments being whatever version of Bman's sidekick that they were, when they see Dick Grayson's Robin they all think " I wish I could have seen Robin as a kid."

Because that's Robin's magic! He makes you feel like you can do anything! Like everything's gonna be ok!

Like grown up Damian,whose probably nightwing, feels, down to his bones, that if he could have brought a fraction of that magic to being the first Batkid maybe the early days would have been better. So he works hard to make sure Robin is safe to be that Symbol now.

And grown up Duke, whose the Signal, probably walks around in Robin merch and hands out Robin stickers to kids on patrol because he knows that Robin makes them feel powerful/strong. (Even if he's still probably looking out for mini fans of his own version of the batkid sidekick)

Tim, who I think definitely has to get lazrus pitted or joker jr'd in RRverse, at all of 19 sees Robin fly in his first days and thinks "I would follow that kid anywhere." Like Tim sees Robin and knows that if he'd seen Dick Grayson dashing across rooftops laughing as a kid he probably would have turned out so differently.

Jason, whose just barely growing out of the batkid sidekick mantel, sees Robin and yeah probably feels insecure about this little kid prodigy but also feels this very embarrassing sense of awe. Like at some point Jason just has to shake his head and make sure his astounding little kid brother doesn't brain himself and gets to keep the magic around a little longer.

Without Dick being the first, the idea of what a sidekick would be in general would change drastically, cause like he was not just the first Robin, he was the first sidekick. He defined what it meant to be a child hero. He created the Titan, setting a precedent of the next generation of heroes being not just coworkers but friend, having a deeper bond between each other.

The rest of the bat kids all were able to make friends quickly because because they had a place to go to do that, the Titans and teams after wouldn’t exist, at least not on the form they are in, if it wasn’t for Dick. The teams would probably be closer to a mini Justice League, or even more school environment like, sorta more competitive nature like it’s viewed more in the sense of a prerec for the Justice League. I think hey would still get to the point of close friendships, just not as fast or as many.

I just imagine the older hero’s seeing Dick Grayson creating the Titans, an instant friend group that trust each other not just in the field of out of it too and just feel the same of ‘I wish we had that’.

Dick is also beloved by the Justice as well, they watched him grow up from a protege to a peer they trust with their lives and to train their own sidekicks in normal cannon. Dick is a little gremlin, but he also is extremely charismatic and knows how to play that up around others a bit more.

All this to say not only so the bat kids feel a little jealous of Dick and Robin, what he created, but so would the other young heroes, he’s like that one friend that all the parents love and say you should hang out with them more, and it’s a little grating on the nerves but you also love them dearly. But also the bat kids would have to deal with the consequences of having a charismatic and seemingly well behaved little sibling, with friends and other people praising Robin for being a perfect young hero or well mannered when they know that last night on patrol he criticized the Riddler to the point of tears and last week he bit them to get to the last cookie first.

captain america magical girl AU - steve, sam, and bucky 

(I’m so sorry I erased the original post I’M SO SORRY! You can read this without the visual aids on AO3.)

March 10, 1917 - James Buchanan Barnes is born, and we were all officially fucked.

July 4, 1918 - Steven Grant Rogers is born, and somewhere in Brooklyn Bucky’s mother wept …

June, 1924 - Steve’s mother is bedridden from illness associated with Tuberculosis.

September, 1930 - 12-year old Steve and 13-year old Bucky meet for the first time in Hell’s Kitchen, where Bucky scares off bullies trying to steal Steve’s money. What were they doing in Hell’s Kitchen? No one knows. Steve tells Bucky he’s been living in the orphanage ‘on 8th’ since his mother’s death. Which is odd since Bucky was apparently at her funeral when they’re both legal adults in a flashback scene from the Winter Soldier. For the purpose of this timeline, info from the movies will take precedent over info from the various tie-ins. Meaning Sarah Rogers is basically Schrödinger’s Ma for the next 6 years.
