So recently instead of fanfiction I've been reading comics, I found this great website that has completed copies of comics from like the 1930s, which is awesome. I've been reading Cassandra Cains run as Batgirl and the original Young Justice comics as well as Gotham Academy. There are also various others including the Lara Croft comic.
What else? I went and brought new arctic sheets yesterday they're purple and they were only $30 so yay!
Thinking about the Batman fanfiction that's been percolating in my head I've realised it's a combination of pre- and new-52, but only certain parts, I'm not the biggest fan of New-52 I feel like they really cut out a whole lot of character development and history, especially with Tim, I mean in the pre-52 universe he was a detective first and foremost he worked damn hard to make up for the fact that he wasn't naturally inclined towards athleticism, and then they were like Olympic medal gymnast who jumped in without planning to find out who Batman was- No, Tim Drake is a meticulous planner, he's a workaholic who has back up plans to the back up plans of his back up plans, he takes Bat-paranoia to the next level, I mean really.
I made a chocolate self-saucing pudding a few days ago, it was delicious. Pillow went away for a few days but she's back today so that's nice. I need to buy a new nail buffer. Teh Kitteh has been lazing in the sun a lot and chasing off other cats as is her way, we're getting new neighbors and Pillow and I have been a little worried about how that's going to go for us, because our kitteh isn't the most friendly but she likes to be able to wander around what she thinks is hers and the front lawn of our neighbors house counts to her, our first neighbor never seemed to mind she'd shoo her if she went somewhere she wasn't supposed to but she wasn't violent, and she was an elderly lady so we didn't have to worry about any excitable little kids chasing her, we have no idea what the new neighbors are like, they haven't moved in yet and it's all a bit... nervous/ nerve-wracking(?).
Heh another cat came by and teh Kitteh got her growl on, it really shouldn't amuse me as much as it does but eh I can't help it, I'm easily amused.

I miss writing. I miss my stories, being able to open one up and just keep going or to open an empty document and start. This computer doesn't have the right document software. *Sigh*
I'm still reading Batman fanfiction, and mentally writing it.
Easter was good, I ate many chocolate. I watched the new Beauty and the Beast movie and really liked it, the soundtrack is awesome, I also rewatched Robin Hood: Men In Tights, which continues to amuse me.
I start mentally writing things when I'm trying to sleep and yet now when I have an open window in front of me to write on ... nada. My mind is a blank space empty of words. Son of a monkeys brothers goat skin.
Right so last time I talked about my Batman AU idea, mostly focussing on Bart, the idea itself, however, is a massive BatFamily centric universe where people are happy, the idea started with one fanfiction I read where the Robin in the first season of Young Justice is Tim(1), then I read another one where it was Nightwing who founded the Teen Titans (in the cartoon) instead of Dick Grayson as Robin, and the Titans didn't know he had been Robin(2). There were others where Batman had taken in each of the BatKids earlier, one of the best (3) inspired me, and using my mind as a blender along with ideas from tons of other fanfiction. All of those ideas created the freaking epic BatFamily universe which seems to get bigger in my head every time I read a comic or fanfiction or even look at pictures, none of it is written down anywhere though because I can never seem to figure out how to begin.
The basic idea is that all five of the BatKids were found or adopted within a very short time of each other, Dick Grayson was Robin, but he grew up to become Nightwing and formed the Teen Titans; Cassandra Cain trains with Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) and after the Joker happens and Babs loses her legs Cass takes over as Batgirl; Jason Todd was the second Robin who left to become Red Hood and work in the Outlaws with Arsenal (who is a clone of the original Roy Harper) and StarFire; Tim Drake is the third Robin and he's the Robin that forms Young Justice alongside Impulse, Superboy, Artemis, Miss Martian and Aqualad; Damian Wayne is still in training and doesn't yet have a name. When Young Justice is formed no-one knows that there's been more than one Robin, the Teen Titans are an unaffiliated group formed by young heroes, the Outlaws tend toward more covert heroics, and the Bats all tend to be secretive so none of their teammates really have any idea about them.
All of that is just a basic outline of the whole thing which sits in my head getting bigger constantly and that I'm probably never going to post even if I eventually write it out. Some of my fanfictions are like that, really I only write them for myself just because that was what I wanted to read but I'm way too invested in it to actually put it out there. It's still strange to me how invested you can get in soemthing that wasn't even originally your brain child.
Well that's me for now.

Happy Good Friday!
The Roadtrip was awesome, we went to Hobbiton and drank at the Green Dragon. We saw lots of different family members and brought new books and honey scented things. Also we got rained on, a lot. Still it was a great trip and the playlist worked appropriately.
B-Dizzle made Pillow and I an egg hunt to celebrate Easter and now we've gotten paranoid about whether we've found them all or not, mostly because we keep finding more. Last night it was poring down with rain and we both went outside in our pajamas to find eggs so yeah we're not the best adults.
I've still been playing Skyrim I've got 3 of the add ons now Dawnguard, Dragonborn and Hearthstone; also I now have Witcher 3 and Dragon Age: Inquisition for reasons... good reasons. I haven't started playing them yet but the time will come.
I've also learnt that apparently one of my nieces would have a promising future as a con artist or extortionist, not really something you want to learn about your 9 year old niece but hey.
I'm back on Batman fanfiction but I was reading Young Justice fanfiction and now I want to write an alternate universe fanfiction where before coming back in time Bart Allen was rescued from the Reach by Tim Drake who subsequently gave him into the care of his younger brother before dying, and so Bart was raised by Damian, from between the ages of 3 and 9 when Damian was killed and Bart recaptured, Bart (being a genius, Bat-raised, Speedster) had already been planning a Time Machine and escaped alongside Neutron; the two then build the Time Machine and Bart travels back in time only something goes wrong and it takes him back too far and he ends up at Wayne Manor before Tim(a part of the alternate universe idea) ever helped form Young Justice, anyway cue Bart freaking out while conveniently surrounded by Bats who quickly realise that Barts Time Travelling is in no way just a vacation and end up getting a few pertinent details out of him before he clams up, the most important of these being that Damian is basically his Dad (which is a bit weird as Damian himself is only 9 at the time) after having all this proved and the Flash being brought in, everyone discusses what to do with Bart, Barry suggests the Garricks and Alfred eventually wrangled everyone into a agreeing that it'd probably smart to let the traumatised still grieving kid stay somewhere he feels safe which basically means with the Waynes. Thus Bart ends up helping Tim rescue Connor from Cadmus labs and form Young Justice and have lots of adventures eventually saving the world from the Reach. Everything is out of order and messy and Out of Character and people are happy.
Why can't characters just be happy? Is it too much to ask?
