To Keep Thalia And Jason As Siblings, Jason Could Have Been Trapped Inside Casino Lotus

i saw ppl reblogging this from a bit more than a year ago and i.. really had to do a redraw 

The question is: why do people not share the artwork of their favorite creators? Stuff they like?

There has been post after post complaining how the dynamics and the like/reblog ratio on tumblr has shifted drastically over the past few years. Where people used to reblog heavily over liking the new ratio is often times 1:4 to even 1:6 reblogs to likes per post.

Don’t you know how devastating that is?

Imagine working on something for hours, days, weeks or even months. You put in on the Internet and people nod to it and pass by. No further encouragement. Nothing. At best it gets stolen on a different platform and someone else gets the praise for it.

Reblogs are the equivalent of saying ”Hey guys! This person did something amazing that I like! Check them out!“ Likes don’t get validated by the algorithm. Only reblogs matter. No wonder people are walking out and finding other media as Twitter or IG. Their ratios aren’t great, but better than tumblr.

If you have the audacity to cry about content creators abandoning their blogs because they feel unheard, you’re most likely part of the problem.

Creators of all sorts feel discouraged from creating more as their content doesn’t get seen as tumblrs algorithm and new guidelines simply fuck them over. Reblogs expose them to new audiences and new possible fans.

The only reasons why people don’t (immediately) reblog I can think of are

A) people liking stuff to place them later in a queue/reblog them

B) people want NSFW stuff hidden from their blogs

Even then, case a) is a strong one, case b) flimsy at best. You do realize that you can create more than one blog? Make an NSFW one? Tumblr isn’t like Instagram where you have to compete to comply for a certain aesthetics and where you have to fight for followers and sponsorships.

You have this huge platform where people do their craft for free and you’re not even willing to share it.

Do not engage with this post just to add shitty arguments.

Love Language

It's the last day of Jasleico week, and it's time to talk about love languages.

I think Jason's is physical touch, imagine little Thalia holding her baby brother, and sleeping together because Jason won't calm unless he's hugged.

When Lupa takes him, he sleeps surrounded by wolves, and they lick him and the pups of the pack play with him, and, sometimes, Juno appears to change his clothes and talk to him, and feed him with human food.

He loves cuddles, and Leo is more willing to give it than Nico, they put together two beds in Zeus Cabin, and the hug all night, Jason kisses him when they woke up, takes him by hand to the showers and the dining pavilion; in New Rome, Jason owns a place, and the mattress is king-size, they cuddle in the sofa, and kiss a lot, Nico comes along too, but the boy is shy, he's blushing and rambling, but at the end he let it go and enjoys.

Nico always starting the contact with Jason, they're walking and Nico holds his hand, after the campfire Nico hugs him and kiss his cheek, he would go to the Zeus Cabin, or drag Leo and Jason to Hades' and sleep, he holds Jason's hand, while Leo is over the blond boy, and, if he had a really bad nightmare, he will hug Jason really tight, Jason always smiles when Nico do this, never pushing him to go farther.

Leo's language could be words of affirmation, the boy needs to hear he's valuable and loved.

Jason has a lot of compliments for him, followed by physical touch, he would say something about Leo's project and kiss his forehead, nose, neck or lips, when they cuddle Jason would kiss all Leo, giving compliments "I love your back dimples, this mole is lovely, your skin is soft, you are warming." And etcetera.

Nico will go to Leo's workplace, sit at his side, look at his work and say something "The metal butterfly you build are beautiful, you're a genius, nobody thought that solution." If Leo creates something for Nico, he will go to Leo and talk about its usefulness, and compliments the design, he is quieter than Jason, but Leo loves the two boys.

Nico's language is acts of service.

He's a little careless of himself, Leo and Jason take turns to look after him, making him eat and have a good sleep schedule.

Jason will clean the Hades Cabin when Nico is on Hades' missions; in the apartment they share, they have a chore schedule, but, if Nico is too tired, Jason will help.

Leo will build things, to help with the housework, when Nico says his powers drown him too much, Leo designs mobile aids, canes that transform in weapons, it could shrink and one spend candies.

They take Nico on dates, the search for antique shops, especially the ones with the '40s antiques.

They just love each other, and love in their own unique way.

I made a Batfamily-centric DC timeline that covers Pre-52, New-52, and Rebirth content in one slideshow, so here it is! Feel free to use this as a resource for fanfic/fanart references, sources for comic issues, or if you just want to read me narrating the DC universe with way too many puns and memes

*softly* good for him...

Recommeded reading for Dick Grayson / Robin and Nightwing

This is an updated repeat of a couple of lists with reading recommendations with Dick as Robin and Nightwing (Pre-Flashpoint) that I’ve made earlier. But since I wrote them as answers to asks, the posts don’t have a headline, and I find that they can be easy to miss (for me, when I want to look something up…) So I thought I might as well make a new, single post of them.

The stories are in what I imagine would be an in-universe chronology. They are from all periods, ignoring that the Golden/Silver age stories and Bronze/modern age stories have at times been considered two different universes. Most of them are stories that, at the time of their publishing, were canon and in continuity. None is explicitly Elseworld, so you can certainly imagine that they have happened ;-)

To be honest, not all of these comics are examples of great storytelling. Older superhero comics, for instance, are definitely something else compared to modern comics, for better and for worse. I’ve picked some because they are “the first time” or significant in some way (e.g. the first time Dick was almost killed, when Bruce has to fight to keep custody, an infamous fight between Dick and Bruce, the most well-known different origin stories, panels that are often quoted); others because they have a cute or fun moment. I have also included some books that I don’t like myself but are well-known.

Storytelling has changed a lot since Dick was Robin. Back in the Golden and Silver age, with very few exceptions, comics were stand-alone short stories. In later decades, it’s usually arcs that span at least a couple of issues and some stories have consequences for years.

Dick has been an active team member since the 1960s, and he has arguably been at his best in some team titles, but I still don’t have a lot of team books here. I find it difficult to, off the top of my head, recall any “special Dick issues”.

Obviously, these are very personal preferences, and the list is based on what I’ve read and remembered best.

Robin the Boy Wonder. Detective Comics # 38 (The original origin story. There has been maaany more since then – I’ve made a list just with origin stories….) (1940).

Batman: Year Three. Batman # 436-439. (An origin story where Dick spent some time at a nice orphanage before he came to Bruce.) (1989)

Robin Annual vol 2 # 4. (Another origin story, where the Gotham authorities remove Dick him from the circus, and he is put in the Gotham City’s Youth Center. Not my preferred but it’s well known.) (1995)

The Gauntlet. The Batman Chronicles #1. (The test before Batman let Dick start out as Robin.) (1997)

Grimm. Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #149-153. (A story set when Dick is new as Robin and still uncertain about his place. For a while, he wants to leave Batman and stay in a children’s underground paradise.) (2002)

Robin: Year One. (Traumatic events during Dick’s first year as Robin. He was nearly beat to death by Two-Face. When Bruce said he was not permitted to continue as Robin, Dick ran away because he didn’t think there was a place for him at the Manor any more.) (2001)

The case of the honest crook. Batman #5. (1941)
