fast facts on bat pollinators

source: https://www.batcon.org/not-just-the-birds-and-bees-6-fast-facts-about-pollinating-bats/

-Worldwide, over 500 species of flowers in at least 67 plant families rely on bats as their major or exclusive pollinators, including the saguaro cactus. mangrove and banana trees. Speaking of bananas, wild bananas are almost exclusively pollinated by bats. Many of the plants we rely on for food, fibers, and more are pollinated by bats.

-Bat flowers are often white or light-colored in an attempt to stand out against foliage or the night sky, but they also can range from brown and green to pink, fuchsia and yellow. While some of these flowers are quite beautiful, they release a musty, rotten smell to attract bats that we humans find quite unpleasant.

-But that's not the only way flowers attract bats. Some flowers have evolved features that enhance the echo of the bats' echolocation so that the bats can "see" them better, usually a concave bell shape. Other flowers have evolved to hang in long stalks away from the rest of the plant, also making them more "visible" to bat pollinators.

-Nectar-feeding animals often have long tongues and bats are no exception--the rare mouse-sized Anoura fistulata has a tongue around 8.5 centimeters long, making it up to 150% of its body length! That's like if you had a tongue nine feet long. Such a long tongue can't possibly fit in its mouth, so its tongue is anchored in its chest.

the girls definitely thought bruce was a villain when they used their x-ray vision the first time they stepped foot in the manor.

batonium had been going at this dating thing for a couple of months now and the girls are still on the fence about bruce. surely if he was another sedusa situation then it wouldn’t take months for his evil plan to unfold, right? they can’t deny that bruce makes the professor happy but the trauma from the sedusa incident was deeper than they realized. as much as they wanted to trust bruce, there was something within them that couldn’t, at the moment.

bruce was briefed by the professor about the unfortunate ‘ex’ cause utonium felt like bruce deserved to know. it’s not that the girls hate him exactly, they’re just super cautious. bruce completely understands and only works harder to earn the girls’ trust. part of his campaign was opening up more of himself to the little family of the man he’d grown to adore. well, as much as he could while still keeping the batman thing a secret and trying to unlearn his emotionally constipated ways. (he goes to therapy because he deserves and needs it)

and so, what better way to open up more about himself than to open up his home to the utonium family? of course, he picked a day where most of the batfam were busy. only dick and alfred were in the house, which is basically the best combination bruce could think of when introducing a prospective partner who has children of their own.

alfred and dick were wonderful to the girls and it was heartwarming to see how content it made utonium feel. bruce felt like he could get away with wrapping his arm around the professor’s waist and it turned out to be true when he only got a glare from buttercup and no demands to unhand her dad.

on the girls’ part, dick and alfred were effective persuasion to start sort of warming up to the idea of boyfriend bruce. granted, it would take some time for them to actually start trusting the man but it was a start.

bruce was giving the utonium family a tour of the wayne manor, dick tagging along with them and supplying an inane story that happened in every space that they walked through. it was great entertainment for the girls and utonium as well. the batfam is nothing but rambunctious to say the least. buttercup was starting to think that damien might be her favorite of the bunch (oh how wrong/right she was).

they eventually reach the study that had the secret entrance to the batcave and blossom just suddenly has this niggling feeling. she’s an intuitive girl and her instincts have never steered her wrong before, no matter how young she was. deciding to trust herself, she uses her handy dandy x-ray vision and could see what she could only assume was an entrance to a secret villain lair. she wasted no time flying to her father’s side and her sisters were close behind despite their confusion.

utonium immediately chastised his daughters while bruce and dick momentarily paused before looking at each other.

“dad, we told you! he’s a bad guy!�� blossom yelled causing her sisters to gasp and glare at bruce. dick couldn’t stop the loud cackle that pushed through his lips even if he tried. bruce looked confused.

“now what makes you say that?” utonium asked as he kneeled down. it had already been a few years since the science accident that created his daughters and while they were steadily growing, they were still quite small compared to his tall stature.

“he has a secret entrance to his villain lair behind the clock! bubbles and buttercup can look for themselves to prove that i’m telling the truth.”

after doing as their sister said, they flanked the professor with their assent that yes there IS a secret entrance to an evil lair there, we wouldn’t lie about it!

utonium knew his daughters had no reason to lie for something quite as serious as this so he could only look towards bruce for answers.

of all the ways that bruce could’ve revealed the batman to the professor, he didn’t expect that it would be like this. he had wanted to wait a bit more, maybe a year, before telling. and even then, he was hesitant about revealing the vigilante thing entirely. he was content to keep it a secret because he didn’t know how he could deal with utonium reacting negatively. it was only with the combined intervention of all his children and alfred that he even began to consider divulging his and his family’s alter egos to the utoniums. bruce couldn’t enter a relationship that he had hopes of lasting if he couldn’t share the single most important thing about him as a person.

he was really hoping that the moment he tells utonium would be under his own terms in which he had control over the situation but the girls just. poof. made all that hope go down the drain. he’d already been told by the professor that the girls were superpowered and that they had a range of abilities but it seems like he’d be putting x-ray vision into the list.

glancing at dick who was barely stifling his gighles, bruce sighed. “i’m not a villain or a bad guy. i’m. . . batman.”

now, utonium has heard of batman. who hasn’t? and ever since living in gotham, he’s been hearing more and more about the guy and he’s made an opinion. batman is good, though his slightly violent methods seem to suggest otherwise. gotham needs someone like the dark knight to keep things in check, and something that a lot of the public didn’t notice is that he was a lot more compassionate than they realized. why else would he send a gaggle of rogues to a psychiatric institution if not to give them the means to heal themselves? (utonium would feel differently about arkham whenever he finds out about the abuse and neglect that was prevalent in the facility.)

so when he heard buttercup say that the batman sounded very much like a villain name, utonium chuckled. and so, everyone’s attention was suddenly on him. his girls looked confused, wondering how he could laugh about this like it’s a light matter and he found himself smiling softly at them, silently wishing they’d stay this innocent for a little while longer.

“girls, remember how i told you about how townsville was before? how bad guys would always do bad things and that the people there would be too afraid to even go out of their homes?”

“yeah!” exclaimed buttercup. “but then you made us and we beat up the bad guys!” she looked very proud of that statement, as did her sisters. when utonium glanced at the waynes still standing in front of them, they both looked confused. utonium sighed.

“yes. you beat up villains so that they’d go to jail and everybody would be safe. it’s the same for batman.”

“oh.” they still looked unconvinced, but the professor always told them the truth. it was only dick’s comment, that batman was friends with superman, that made the girls release the tension that was holding them up. their shoulders relaxed as they regarded bruce with a curious look. bruce nodded at them, confirming everything that’s been said about him.

“so… you won’t hurt us mr. batman?” bubbles hesitantly asked and isn’t that heartbreaking, that the thought of bruce harming them was at the forefront of their minds

bruce kneeled on one knee to be eye level with utonium’s daughter. “i promise you, i would never harm you, your sisters or your father intentionally. if i end up being mean and hurting you guys, you have my explicit permission to beat me up.”

bubbles giggled, the most trusting of the three, and held out her pinky finger. “pinky promise? and you can’t break it ever.”

since they were still at the age where pinky promises were sacred, blossom and buttercup also held out their pinkies with determined looks. bruce’s lips quirked into a small smile, bringing up his own pinky to seal the deal with each of them. “i pinky promise.”

dick, when recounting what happened to the rest of the family when they arrived back at the manor and bruce was driving the utoniums back to their apartment, had a lot of to say about how adorable the girls were and how funny it was when they called bruce a bad guy.

jason had to interrupt him. “wait, what do you mean they beat up criminals in their hometown? aren’t they like, 3 years old?”

it was at that point everybody realised something. sure, damian was also young when he started as robin but that was mostly due to the hellish and dangerous training that he was put through under the league at such a young age. was it the same for the girls? what it they were being forced to do it? sure, they had powers but they were still children.

although they expected to feel excitement about meeting the utoniums soon, now they could only feel a small sense of dread.

favorite underrated headcanons? any characters you want, go wild!

Hello, Rio, nice to see you here 👁👁

I'm gonna tell you one I just elaborated today while shenaniganing 'round Twitter. Ladies and gentlemen (gn), you can't tell me Dante is not good at something that he proposes himself to do. This man is capable of playing more than just one instrument, he skates flawlessly above the ice on dmc4 and hell, I suspect he even actually knows how to act after that whole Shakesperean sequence with Agnus. If that man wants to he can, I don't know, plant himself a mini-orchard or a mini-garden. Please let him take of some plants, it'll be therapic for him.

But in contrast, I'll say it: He's outrageously bad at cooking, and we all know this worldwidely. No, he can't cook for his dear life, get this dork outta the kitchen as soon as possible before he burns it down completly. He may or may not had done it once or twice, and he just wanted to make himself some coffee...

And that's pretty much all of it for now! Thank you for coming and stopping by!

#yes i want dante to talk with his lil strawberry blossoms on a daily #LET HIM HAVE HIS LIL STRAWBERRY FIELD #cerezzz.askz #vampy-bats #devil may cry #dmc headcanons

i need i need someone to write a fic or SOMETHING about the ten minutes between in season 3 when thirteen held the medicine out to seven and said "take them off," and then in the next scene he's in his casual clothes. and i don't mean anything smutty or anything. i don't think that'd fit there. i just mean if i don't even get to mildly grasp the raw romantic tension fuck it the raw tension PERIOD during that i am going to fucking DIE. i'm going to explode okay? you can't tell me that these two gaylords, already sufficently down the fuck bad enough for eachother, okay, didn't either have the most tender and/or raw tension filled moment while thirteen bandaged

THIS PART OF HIS FUCKING BODY

THIS SCENE STARTS ONLY WHEN HE'S PUTTING HIS CLOTHES BACK ON BECAUSE THE DIRECTORS HATE ME PERSONALLY.

BATONIUM AGES

okay so i started thinking about the specific ages of the utoniums and the batfam more and i think i’ve settled on something.

googling the professor’s age states that he’s either in his mid 40s to early 60s which gives me nothing at all. so i’m going to assume that when the ppg were made, he was like 46 years old.

the ppg just incarnated into the world as full on children and they have been depicted as being around 5 years old. so we’re going with that. considering the timeskip of a few years i’ve kind of established in the batonium au, the girls would be now 8 or 9 years old physically which would make the professor about 49-50 in the current timeline.

now, the hard part. the batfam’s ages. honestly, everytime i search bruce wayne’s age it’s the most fuck all thing ever. it’s the same with dick. and basically every other batfam member. goddamnit dc pls make my life easier 😭

so since the batfam’s ages are up to fuck all, i’ve taken someone’s headcanon ages from quora as a basis for my own age chart thing.

bruce wayne: 45

dick grayson: 27

jason todd: 22

tim drake: 20

damian wayne: 14

cassandra cain: 22

stephanie brown: 20

professor utonium: 49-50

ppg: 8-9 physically, they are technically 3-4 years old

the events of powerpuff girls (og show) happen about 3-4 yrs before this au so there we go. i hope this makes it easier for me to visualize the au in upcoming installments 🥲, also make it easier for you guys too. and this also means that damien isn’t the baby anymore 🫶🏼
