Ooh. It’s part of Earth 27? That’s such a great fan project.

I figured the map was dense and undefined enough that it gave us some useful stuff to work with, but really it’s just a suggestion, hence my ? at the end of the introduction of it. It’s sometimes nice to have a map like this if only to suggest a new location for a scene than the conversation pit.

Or to provide some setting when Rossum’s army of RookBots and Androidlycias burst through the windows …

I’ve always loved those sorts of underplayed tells. Walter Koenig chose to have his Babylon 5 Psi-Cop Bester have a painfully clenched left fist throughout the series (never explained or even really pointed out on the show), giving him a slightly off, unhealthy / crippled appearance.

Okay, so this one’s going to go down a rabbit hole a bit.

I have, in the past, shared a number of fics by author Unpretty, over on G+. This is some of that, but as it pertains to Masks - all the stuff I’m linking is from the POV of Tim Drake. Some of it is so very much in the style of our game (mostly the use of social media), I had to share.

Note: in Unpretty’s DC universe, Tim Drake is a trans boy, and just… amazing and hilarious and maybe my favorite character she writes, which is saying something. I’m mostly mentioning this since my nephew’s transitioning right now and it’s on my mind (one of the reasons today is so crazy is surgery scheduling stuff).

(Also note: Much of Unpretty’s stuff is NSFW, but all the stuff I’m linking is fine. If you go digging through her other fic, though, be prepared. Her Squirrel Girl/Kraven stuff is adorable.)

Anti-social, Chapter 1 - Where Tim figures out Bruce Wayne is Batman. https://archiveofourown.org/works/8019937/chapters…
Anti-social, Chapter 3, Signal Boost - Where Tim gets adopted because he went and asked to be adopted. https://archiveofourown.org/works/8019937/chapters…
Anti-social, Chapter 4 - The one where Tim snapchats all the crazy crap that happens at Wayne Manor. https://archiveofourown.org/works/8019937/chapters…
Anti-social, Chapter 5 - The one where Dick talks Tim through some Bat-drama https://archiveofourown.org/works/8019937/chapters…
Anti-social, Chapter 6 - The one where Bruce is either drunk or concussed and Tim and Dick make him do an AMA while eating Greek takeout. https://archiveofourown.org/works/8019937/chapters…
Anti-social, Chapter 7, BRUCE WAYNE BANNED FROM WALMART [Snapchat Compilation] - The one where Bruce Wayne gets banned from Walmart. All of them. https://archiveofourown.org/works/8019937/chapters…
Anti-social, Chapter 8, Best of Bruce Wayne, Let’s Play (plus a surprise announcement) - I mean… the title says everything. It makes me cry with laughter. Special appearances by Barbara Gordon and Ray Palmer (kind of). https://archiveofourown.org/works/8019937/chapters…

As an added bonus, Bruce’s spreadsheet of reasons he is sad.

Perhaps we’re wrong. Perhaps the vanished island isn’t Iceland … it’s Frisland!

Reminds me of Jason and Link talking about each other…

I was trying to remember where I’d grabbed the idea of Jason’s “Grab hold of something and push against it until your hands literally tear free” and here it is.
