Those rare times when even Jon has enough
(Gave up midway đâđť)
I ship it so hard
Even older Timkon art
Thank you for sharing this masterpiece đđđ itâs fantastic
I think we can all agree that this is the theme song for the batfamily
I have no context and I am desperate to know what led to Batman using a flamingo as a weapon
Batman: my real kids could beat my ass any day
when u grow up
Pre-Crisis Jason Todd, you are an utterly incomprehensible child.
Your compulsive acrobatics are adorable. Your ability to imprint on Bruce and call him your new father within a month is impressive. Your cute child powers are so strong that Man-Bat tried to adopt you. Your ability to phrase things in the weirdest way possible is matched only by Pre-Crisis Dick Grayson, and even then, you have proven yourself his equal in that regard.
Youâre insane, and I love that for you.
I think jason should get to wear skimpy provocative clothes as a treat.
Reclamation of his bodily autonomy via his sexuality and sensuality.
Leather pants that hug his thighs, crop tops that show his bellybutton (with piercing maybe!!) and necklines that show his cleavage. Makeup too. Glossy plump lips and smokey eyeliner.
Finding yourself attractive is powerful as fuck and he deserves that

I AM SO SORRY, BUT I WAS READING THE ASK, and my brain went just, oh, okay, Roy Harper--
Don't mind me, I'll just be here, screaming incoherently about how beautiful this is
Everyone always talks about how Icarus fell. Not enough people talk about how he flew.
About the boy who looked the sun in the eye and smiled. Who laughed as the heat blistered wax and feather, as gravity remembered his name.
They call him arrogant. Reckless. Say he shouldâve known better. But maybe he did. Maybe he just wanted to see how close a mortal could get to divinity before the world pulled him back down.
Because thereâs something sacred in the reaching. Something holy in the trying. And even if the fall is inevitableâ there is still meaning in the flight.
And far from the sun, beneath a sky choked in smog and sirens, in the bones of a city that never sleeps, another boy is born to that same story.
No prophecy named him. No legacy claimed him. Not shaped in fire, nor vengeance, nor divine right. He was not forged like a weapon, or claimed like an heir. Instead, he saw the shape of a myth stitched into Gothamâs skylineâa shadow stretching across rooftops and ruinsâ and stepped toward it with empty hands and open eyes.
He was not called. But he came anyway.
Like Icarus, he didnât wait for permission to reach. Tim Drake was a boy built from questions, sleepless nights, and the aching need to know. He was a boy carved from questions, sharpened by silence. The kind of boy who watched too long and listened too well. The kind of boy who stared too long into shadows and found himself staring back.
He pieced together wings from scrapsâ late-night stakeouts, news clippings and coffee-stained theories. A thousand tiny truths stitched together from silence. He studied the dark like scripture, read between bruises and newsprint until a pattern emerged.
No one gave him a path. So he drew one in ink and breath and quiet resolve.
Not for glory. Not to be seen. But because the pull of the sky was louder than fear. Because some part of himâdeep and unrelentingârefused to stay grounded.
And maybe that was the beginning of the end. Perhaps chasing what was already breaking was always meant to end in ash. Maybe he was never meant to carry the weight of a symbol sewn in grief. Maybe no boy can hold the sun and not burn.
But when the cracks came, he didnât look away.
He climbed. He reached. He flew.
And when the wax burned and the feathers tore loose, he didnât scream.
He smiled.
Because like Icarus, he had touched something divine. And he knewâ that to fall is to have once reached the sky and kissed the sun.
Jason as those AO3 authors who have the worst tragedies happening to them and yet still continues to pump out his new chapter every week
Some poor, unbeknownst Gothamite: âMy favorite fanfic writer hasnât posted or updated any of their fanfic in like four years. I donât want to bug them but Iâm always hoping for them to come back. I hope their okay :( â
Jason, in between cutting off right hand mens heads and antagonize black mask, like Really Living It Up: âhey, sorry, guys! I know itâs been forever! I literally died and clawed my way back from zombiehood, but Iâm back now! Hope you enjoy this new chapter!â
actual canon things that the teen titans (from the 60s) have called each other. No Iâm not kidding. Thereâs even five hoursâ worth of proof below the cut. Â
(Iâll edit this post as i continue reading the rest of the run, but hereâs for #1-25, so if you see this as a rb, you might want to check the original post for updates)
keep in mind that the nicknames get tossed around, so really, thereâs like one or two nicknames that are just between two people, whereas other nicknames are said by the whole team (in a very serious manner, too. Theyâll be at the verge of death and itâs like âtwinkletoes, catch!â)
⢠âBig Brainâ, âGeniusâ (in a non-sarcastic way) || Wally to Dick (SPECIFICALLY he has said âi dig you, genius!âÂ
⢠âRobin-o!â âRobin-bobbinââ || Wally to Dick
⢠âBrainyâ || Garth to Dick
â˘Â âBug-eyesâ || Wally to Dick
â˘Â âBoy Wonderfulâ || Wally to DickÂ
This isnât a nickname but once Donna was asking whoâd like to dance with her (they were like 14 max) and then Wally was busy, and Garth was reading, and Roy wasnât in that issue, so Donna turns to Dick and heâs like âno, wonder chick! I have ___ to doâ and DOnnaâs like âRobin, youâre such a downer! BUt i forgive you- because youâre so cute!â and i just slkfdjksjgsg same
And this goes unsaid, but Dickâs got this hole âHoly ____!â thing going on, and itâs hilarious
⢠âBoy Bulletâ || Narrator to Wally
⢠âTwinkletoesâ (sometimes spelled Twinkle Toes) || Dick started it, but then it stuck so now everyone calls him that
âChuckle-brainsâ || Dick to Wally
⢠âScarlet speedsterâ âScarlet Jokesterâ || Dick to Wally
⢠âKid flasherooâ (sometimes he just calls him âflasherooâ || Dick (and occasionally garth) to Wally
Wally uses âold englishâ and heâs done it so much it just stuck to the other titans (wally also says âyoâ a lot)
â˘Â âGnatskullâ || Garth to Wally
⢠âDaring young man on the flying trampoline!â || Donna to Wally (in just this one issue)
â˘Â âFlasherâ || Roy to Wally (and as they grow up thatâs more of a consistent nickname)
â˘Â âLover boyâ || Donna to Wally
⢠âWGâ || I mean it stands for âwonder girlâ so i wasnât going to add it but they DO say it a lot so-
â˘Â âWonder galâ || Dick to Donna
⢠âWonder Chickâ || Literally all of them at some point to Donna. Yes really. the all call her things like that, but thatâs the way their friendship rolls, you know? Beucause in other issues, other guys have tried to talk to donna like that, and donna beats the shit out of them if they push it too hard <3 They also call donna things like âWonder Dollâ and âbabyâ, âgorgeousâ , âDollâ and things like that and honestly i think itâs cute (in return, she has called them things like âHandsomeâ, âLuvâ, âLover boyâ. Itâs not romantic, though (in the end of the run, Wally confessed his feelings for Donna, and she let him down gently, but this didnât change their relationship in such an impactious way)
⢠âDoll-faceâ || Wally to Donna
â˘Â âBlue eyesâ || Roy to DonnaÂ
Donna also says things like âMerciful Minerva!â and âShades of Pluto!â âGreat Hera!â Things like that.Â
Donna tends to say âHola!â a lot and its so cute sfskjg
⢠âWonder babyâ || Wally to Donna
She also gets called things like âbeautifulâ by the members, ALL the members of the titans, and I just think thatâs really neat
â˘Â âMy pretty missâ || Roy to Donna
â˘Â âLuvâ || Wally to Donna (as you can see, thereâs a crush going on here)
⢠âSea fleaâ â Webfootâ (sometimes spelled web-foot) || Dick to garth
⢠âGill-headâ || Roy to Garth
⢠âSmarty-gillsâ || Donna to Garth
Iâve also noticed how Garth (aqualad) uses a lot of alliteration in like,,,, everything??? Boy will say âHoly hagfish!â or âJumping Jackfish!â and âbarrelling Barnaclesâ and âMurminâ moonfish!â âHoly hammerheads!â âLeapinâ Lumpfish!â âhowling houndfish!â âDragginâ Dogfish!â and its just skjdfhskjfsdgkjs
⢠âBoy Bowmanâ || Wally about Roy
⢠âshaftyâ || Dick to Roy
â˘Â âHandsomeâ || Donna to RoyÂ
ps. thereâs this one time they were taking a summer job as a team (by this time, roy was part of the team), and they were in their superhero costumes, and then Dick just pulls out swimsuits for everyone (because the summer job is in civvies) and i just found that beautiful because current batman has plans on how to destroy his teammates (just in case), and then Robin goes and buys swimsuits for his and i just skfskjrshtajrs (teen titans 1960s #11)
I also would like to bring to attention this one issue (issue #12) in which Donna is listening to the radio and sheâs dancing, and sheâs the only one that likes that station, and the guys just âOkay, you have fun, weâll be downstairs training!â and i just like it a lot because theyâre not like âyou MUST. train with us, because you need to get better and-â ⌠yeah. Theyâre just friends and I love that sosososososo much.Â
They also say things like âBoysâ (Donna to rest), and âGangâ, and Dick usually says âteamâ when refrerring to them whole as a group, and itâs just my favourite thing because you can see how (unlike the rebirth and new52 teen titans), theyâre all friends and they show so and itâs just so endearing okay?
andddd as promised, there are like 2098534520 panels below, with the nicknames (and some panels that just made me really happy) (theyâre not in order and the captions are keyboard smashes so read at your own risk)
Keep reading
