themeletor | we run as thick as blood

dear the internet, who wants to talk with me about the fic i am plotting that is a rewrite of a batman beyond episode but expanded to take into account things like, for example, terry's similarity to a certain once-dead robin and also other intriguing parts of comic canon that i want to make click with beyond-era dcau? PROBABLY NOBODY, but if this sounds like something you or someone you know would like to explore, please say hello. i am kind of desperate.

some of the things i have to deal with:

- the struggle of getting bruce into the lazarus pit, especially given the specificities of the under the hood arc et cetera (this is the great big one, and the possible dealbreaker. i may have to seriously rewrite the episode to make this happen.)

- killing steph and damian (or, for once, NOT killing steph - and just sketching her as having given bruce the big fuck you, like dick and tim have by this point - but definitely killing the hell out of damian)

- getting babs out of the wheelchair and into generally walkabout (but imperfect) mobility -- less concerened about the tech and more concerned about keeping it away from "she was disabled but now it's the future and poof! she's completely 'whole' and happy and SPARKLE PONY SUNSHINE". what did she go through on her way out of the chair? why and how did she make this decision? who and what contributed to her process? how the fuck am i going to shoehorn this into the fic?

- TERRY IS LIKE JASON

- TERRY IS ALSO NOT LIKE JASON

- possible (probable) sexual tension. resolved, yes/no? i mean, really now. they're batman.

- the goddamn ridiculous events of resurrection in general; grant morrison i kind of hate you right now, you confusing bastard. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT.

- to be determined

(important postscript: for the purposes of this experiment, i reserve the right to believe that jason is basically nothing like the way he is being written currently. fuck you dc comics. fuck you a lot.)*

in unrelated news, i'm getting an awesome tattoo the wednesday after next. it's either going to be blackberries or A PIRATE SHIP, i don't know yet. i'll find out when my amazing rockstar tattoo artist emails me some sketchage.

also GUESS WHAT, I DON'T WORK TOMORROW. THIS IS AMAZING. I'M GONNA DO LAUNDRY.

*btw if any of the brave few still on my flist from '05 recognize a fraction of these shenanigans from that one thing i started and never finished? this is what happens when that SITS IN MY HEAD FOR FIVE YEARS.
