“Get up!”

And he was up, hands above his head and everything. The guy in all black proceeded to pat him down along his pockets while pointing a gun at him otherwise. 

“How do you not have a wallet on you?”

“I’m a college student, I can barely afford tuition.”

That’s a lie, he was on a full ride scholarship, but they didn’t need to know that. 

“Oh you too?”

Did this bitch just say ‘you too’ ? No way.

“‘You too?’ Are you doing this to pay for college???”

Ancients, the school system sucked if he had to resort to crime for this.

“Yeah- you wouldn’t believe how expensive my major is, the textbooks alone cost more than my rent!”

“Holy shit, no kidding. Yeah, why are textbooks so expensive? Why am I paying hundreds of dollars for something that could have been a 2 dollar pdf?”

“Right! I tried asking my professor instead, but he said he’d fail me if I didn’t have the right materials! It’s driving me nuts. Like how am I supposed to pay for all this?”

How Dannt started making conversation with his own robber, he didn’t know, but he was happy to finally complain with someone. He hadn’t exactly made friends since he got here.

“Personally I buy used books, and the more trashed they are, the cheaper. Then, you can just use the pdf version but still have the textbook in class. It’s honestly so much easier. Or you can see if you can borrow it from the library and just bring it in for the classes he checks it, then return it after to avoid the fees. That option is a bit more troublesome though.”

“Oh shit, no way! That’s awesome, I never thought of that, thanks man! Man, I wish I talked to you sooner.” 

“Yeah, it’s all good, maybe just avoid the crime after this? There’s tons of online jobs you can do during class and stuff. I don’t know, there’s always another option than crime. You sound like a good guy, just desperate.”

The robber turned friend (?) lowered his gun and sighed before returning the items in the bag to everyone. He then apologized to the cashier and then to everyone else before giving Danny a hug (how long had it been since he’d gotten one of those?) and leaving. Danny was so proud of him he almost cried (again).

I know it's a bit weird and out of place, but that's bcs its a snippet from a fic I'm writing on ao3 😭

The bats are in awe. Eventually the Joker hears about this and comes to pick a fight. Everyone freezes, wondering how this will play out. Will he "tame" the Joker too? Gotham holds its breath...

Danny kicks him in the dick

Then peppersprays him while he's down. Then he uses the super nasa space travel level spray on glue he had developed as a science project tomake sure Joker can't move before calling the police.

Red Hood shows up at the next Rogue game session with snacks

The art is absolutely beautiful

I'm trying to guess who's who

Danny is the capybara

Two face is the rabbit?

Penguin is well yk penguin

Is the bird on top of his head is red hood?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the croc is killer croc

Okay so, i got my dm permissions set "everyone" rn cuz of the truce and the weirdest thing just happened.

I got a messege saying they had accidetally reported my account instead of someone elses, and that they got their friends to do it too. I looked at the account and they didnt seem like a bot so i talked a bit.

When i didnt seem worried about it they messaged again and told me to also contact this guy to do an apeal or something. Googled the guy, hes real and works for tumblr the discord tag didnt show shit, also the first picture of the guy that shows up is also aperently what he uses as a discord pfp.

Anyway i sent him a friend request on dc because im not in the business of giving random people my phone nr.

First of all he had one of those note thought bubbles that anyone can add to their profile that said "trusted tumblr staff member" which in not only sketchy but also a weird way to say that?? Anyway i talked to him too and he sent me a photo of his "certificate" when i told him i thoight this was a scam. And after i told him anyone could make a digital image with the tumblr logo on it he fucking blocked me.

Now some of you might be wondering "if its a scam then why is the account that messeged you so normal?" Well my tech suport friend says that the peron who messeged me probably had their account stolen in the same way. Now i for one have no clue why someone would steal tumblr accounts but tech support says that theyll probs start promoting crypto or something.

I had a fucked up situation at con today
