sorry i just wanted to call batman funny names

Tim: Welcome to this meeting of the Wayne family middle child club. Shall we get started?

Jason: Why are you in charge of this club? Im the first middle child, I should be in charge.

T: I'm in charge because you're in charge of the dead robin club. Plus as basically the middlest mild child I think I'm more qualified.

Steph: When did we vote on who was in charge?

T: STEPH!?! Why are you here, you're not even legally one of Bruce's kids?

S: but since you all consider me family I think I belong here.

J: Agreed

Duke: how often do you guys have meetings like this?

Cass: more often than you'd think

Duke: do they all start like this?

J: Yeah pretty much

Duke: um...ok.

Dick, walking in: oh what are you guys up too?

J: NOTHING GET OUT.

I noticed that there seems to be three flags for demi-aroace (That I've seen) so now I'm curious, which flag do you use/do you think should be used?

This is the one I use/like best, and it's just a mix of demisexual and demiromantic.

This one, which is the demi triangle with the asexual and aromantic colors (or something I'm not sure)

Or this one? The Demi triangle on the AroAce flag?

also please tell me if there's more I missed!

REDRAWING ICONIC JASON TODDS PART 2:

Gotham by gaslight

Tim/Dick/Jay are on screen for literal seconds but I love them all So Much.

I redesigned his outfit a bit because I wanted him in a fluffy jacket and boom. Little Jay

“This is our family now. Making something here. Taking something back from Gotham.”

“Make something else. Something better.”

Gee, thanks DC! You Just Turned Bruce Into An Irredeemable Ass.

So, at the end of Gotham War Bruce has officially lost everything. Alfred is still dead, Selina is "presumed dead" and Bruce is both financially and morally broke. Why, you may ask, is Bruce so much worse off this time? Let me count the ways.

He preformed a psychic lobotomy on Jason

The "it's for your own good" excuse only makes the mental rape undertaken by Jason's own father that much more heinous.

Just when you think Bruce can't sink any lower he does. When Dick recognizes that Bruce has lost it, he attempts to use a failsafe disconnect that Bruce himself built into the system. How does Nightwing get thanked for that? Well that brings us to number two on the list.

Batman attacks up his eldest son for doing what he's supposed to do when Batman has gone rouge.

Bruce beats him up because nothing proves you are in control of your sanity like hitting your children. While Dick is holding back, Bruce does no such thing. He hits Nightwing hard enough to send him flying. It could have gotten even worse if Tim hadn't shown up.

Tim arrives and attempts to talk some sense into Batman.

Tim tries to talk Bruce down. It doesn't go well. When Robin is trying to help, as he always does, Batman uses the attempt to reason with him to put the smack down on his son. Bruce could have killed Tim but apparently feels no remorse or guilt.

If there was any teeny tiny little doubt that Bruce will not win the Father of The Year award in 2023 it died a horrible screaming death when Batman abandons his children to potential arrest. Yes, he left a batarang for Dick and Tim but any glimer of possible hope associated with that action was instantly extinguished by Damian's reaction to Batman's callous betrayal.

Bruce abandons Damian.

Look at Dami; he's devastated. Since he came into Bruce's life, Damian has struggled with feelings that he can never earn his father's love and respect. Well, that negative self-image was reinforced in way that may never be repairable. Bruce just utterly destroyed a 13 year old child because of his inability to feel any kind of empathy.

And how does this all end? The best part is that Bruce takes all of his parental responsibilities and dumps them onto Dick.

Thank you Chip Zdarsky and Trini Howard. You've taken Batman from being an edgy anti-hero and made him into a callous monster. Part of me hopes that Bruce never comes back because he doesn't deserve his family.

The only positive aspect in this convoluted mess is that Damian and Tim will be far better off with Dick than with Bruce. Yes, Tim is mostly independent but he still needs guidance (particularly since Tim's first instinct is to try and save Bruce). Damian is essentially Dick's son emotionally anyway so this might help to sustain the positive character growth we've seen in him as of late.

The point of this rant is to wonder what on earth DC thinks they're doing. This story arc has been pure character destruction as far as Bruce is concerned. It's bad storytelling too; rushed, frenetic and massively disappointing.

Hasn't the popularity of Good Dad Bruce in Wayne Family Adventures proved that fans are tired of Bruce being a dark depressed and brooding edge lord? We all accept that Batman is a character with deeeeep issues who is in desperate need of therapy. I, however, draw the line at Bruce being an abusive a**hole.

In years to come when fans wonder when Batman jumped the shark, this is the plot line they'll point to.

I love you also in the most mundane ways

I love the dirty dishes in your kitchen and love the fresh sheets that you put on your bed for me

I love the mess in your apartment, love sitting next to you in silence as you do work and I just write

I love the hearts you form on public transport, first with two fingers then with both your hands as our eyes meet

and here we lie in dusky grey as outside fog devours the city whole

and I sink back to dreams of lavender and forests green

here in your bed there is no wider world that we’d be weary of or wary of

No, all there is is you and me

and when I wake again I catalogue

the 5 years worth of letters that I sent you

that you kept stored below your desk

and it’s been years since I held the lot of them

they feel like eldest documents of times long past

and at the same time I feel no less fond of you

I think the words have changed yet never did the meaning

and silent lies outside your window

a city of two million souls and more

and in here sit we silently as well

as there’s no words we’d have to speak right now

I love you also in the most mundane ways

I love the way you’ve kept the tea I gave you

and how it collects dust

you’d drink it when you miss me most

it seems that day is yet to come

You’ve never been a mind of many spoken words, and maybe you merely forgot the tea

but quietly I think: is this your way to say „each coming day I’ll love you more“?

Women we should keep in mind this International Women’s Day:

Women living in countries where they can’t vote yet

Transgender/genderqueer women

Women who suffered sexual assault and rape

Women suffering domestic violence

Women who are victims of human/sex trafficking

Women with mental illnesses

Women who still need to fight racism

Women with disabilities

Queer women

Women working in male dominated fields

Women who can’t pursue the education they desire

Homeless women

Women facing sexual harassment

Young girls who can’t go to school on their periods due to lack of sanitary products

Women who still don’t have access to basic reproductive healthcare

Women trying to leave their abusive spouses

after jason came out of the lazarus pit he trained under the best of the best in order to emulate their skills. for example, a poison expert showed him how to formulate toxins, an explosives specialist taught him how to make bombs, and a butch lesbian showed him how to dress

my favorite part of solitaire is when tori and michael start throwing snowballs at eachother and michael says "YOU'RE ALIVE!!"

that fucking sentence means so much to me, like i would give everything to feel that way right now

alive
