does Jason have his belly button? Does Ra’s have his belly button??
Had anyone who’s swam in the Jesus juice kept their belly button?
Shouldn’t they no longer have their belly button??
OK HERES WHY
Belly buttons are technically scars! And the Lazarus pit heals everything
Even Jason said when he left the pit all his scars were gone DOES THAT INCLUDE THE MANS BELLY BUTTON? I need answers people!

depending on the character, most of the big two (DC, marvel) comics have a "on acquisition of power" rule (totally bullshitted the name for this don't bother trying to look it up), which in this case means any wounds they acquire AFTER their acquisition of powers doesn't scar, but any scars they had before remain.
this is why marvel's wolverine (can heal from anything) is sometimes drawn with small scratches on his face, because he didn't have his power when he was younger.
that being said it explicitly states the lazarus pit heals scars, so yeah anyone who got dunked would lose their bellybutton, RIP
the flashes probably would have theirs, unless they were born with their powers (impulse maybe? i don't know a lot about the flashfam unfortunately)
in some versions clark gets his powers as he ages, and doesn't start out fully superpowered from the escape pod, and if DC applies the on acquisition of power rule then it's entirely possible he would if he didn't have his healing powers when he got his belly button (about 3 weeks in humans)
also we (thankfully) don't know a lot abt kryptonian procreation so it's entirely possible clark and kara just. Didn't have the umbilical cord to cause the bellybutton, which would mean it's entirely possible Jon would have one but clark and kara don't
for kon it would depend on whether he had his powers from the start, if he even HAD an umbilical cord (or something similar) while he was "in the womb", and whether the on acquisition of power rule applies
raven: probably, since her mom was human, unless she was born with strong enough healing powers to counteract it
wonder woman: depends on how she was born, usually she's depicted as being closer to invulnerable than fast-healing, so that might change things too
arthur it would depend on how atlantean biology works and whether he had healing powers from birth, chances are he has a belly button because the pediatricians and delivery people would freak out and check (my maternity nurse family member says a lack of belly button does happen, but it can be very concerning and is always checked over) if he didn't
billy it depends, he probably would bc of the acquisition of powers rule, but it would be really fucking funny if he lost his
they would still have the indentation
Thanks I hate it

I love the ambiguity of the term ‘WIP’. Is it a project in it’s third draft? A final draft being queried? An idea I came up with six months ago and haven’t written anything about yet? You don’t know. Nobody knows.
Least of all the author
The best part about this being an uncaptioned picture is it is simultaneously “We know, but hey!” and also “there is an AUTHOR loose in a word processor”
There’s an AUTHOR loose in a word processor!
Nobody knows what the author’s gonna do, least of all the author.
When there’s an author loose in a word processor, ya gotta stay updated, so all day long you refresh AO3 going, “what’d the author do today?” The updates aren’t bad, sometimes they’re just odd. It’ll be like, “the author uploaded a 50k one shot they wrote in one night?” I didn’t know people who slept could do that.
There are quiet days where people are like, “it seems like the author has gone to bed and taken some time for self care,” and then ten seconds later the author is like, “I’M GONNA POST EVERY WIP I CAME UP WITH IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS. I’VE GOT INSOMNIA AND WRITER’S BLOCK, I’M AN AUTHOR!” That’s what I thought you’d say you fucking brilliant author! ❤️😭❤️
There were precisely zero reasons to come out and drag me so effectively like this.
I feel like I was called out specifically.
…Not so much that. But I can look at the OP’s post and say “ALMOST ALL OF THOSE.”
…I’ve got a WIP that’s been in progress since *1979*.
Can any of you beat that? ANY of you?
(reckless laughter) Come at me, [bro][s]. :)

Currently listening to the full cast version of Good Omens audiobook. Suddenly hearing Michael Sheen’s Aziraphale actually say the phrase “my dear” to David Tennant’s Crowley when I had always thought my best hope was a possible (and now realistic) second season where this COULD be a reality and I am just… can this day get any better?

high fantasy setting where its a popular superstition (how much of it is actually accurate is up to u) that saying the name of any kind of inhuman mischief-bringer will summon them (speak of the devil and so on).
in most places its still common practice to use the regular respectful euphemisms: fair folk, good neighbors, etc. but somewhere down the line the folks in this particular area got kinda sick of being so formal about these creatures, so now its local practice to just aggressively mispronounce their names.
now instead of goblins gremlins and demons theyve got stories of gerblins gemmins and dimmons.

barkeeper: the what. say it.

He has the most intense ice blue eyes. Honestly, he's almost a perfect example of a traditional Siamese. If his coat was kept properly, I think he would score well in cat shows.
what do you mean 'if his coat was kept better'? I am curious. I know siamese cats have an interesting coat, do you mean like... idk buzzing down the pale bits now that he lives inside so they can grow back paler or what? Idk how this works.
His coat is just very inconsistent in its coloring. Compare him to a prizewinning siameses:
granted, these are all wedge-heads rather than traditional, so just focus on the coat. See how smooth it looks? It’s almost a pure cream color, with only a bit of toasted marshmallow. By contrast, my boy above is Very Toasty Indeed.
I suspect this is due to him being an outdoor cat. Like you said, siamese coats are unusual since they’re heat-dependent. It only produces melanin in the colder areas: face, feet, tail, and ears. Since he was kept colder, he grew a lot of dark areas on his body as well. One day, he might be totally creamy again except for his points.
