boogie woogie woogie
I finally read the The Target. For anyone not familiar with this title, it heralds back to the Officer Grayson days. Dick is setup to take the fall for some dirty cops of the Blüdhaven PD and adopts the identity The Target to clear his name name for Reasons.
I came across this gem:
That’s right. They practiced throwing guns. As confirmed by Nightwing (1996) #33:
It called to mind another gun-throwing identity of Dick Grayson’s.
Flash forward to the New 52.
That’s right, Agent 37. Was is pure coincidence Agent 8 mentioned guns and targets? Or was it an Easter Egg?
Who could forget his iconic theme song?
His fellow agents may have given him grief over his choice of gun handling, but apparently Dick had lots of practice hurling those bad boys.
Finding these references is like undercovering buried treasure to me. I get way to much pleasure from it. Has anyone else found any good links from the old to the new like this?
Booooooooooooi
1. Stretchy bois
2. DIVERSE stretchy bois!!! Jake has a single, overbearing father and his mother passed away, Ricardo is a black teen with two successful parents who are never home, and Nathan is a Chinese (???? Not stated explicitly) teen with a massive, loving family.
3. Scott Menville (Robin, Teen Titans) and Steven Yeun (Keith, Voltron: Legendary Defender) voice two of the three main leads which is fucking amazing to listen to and provides great amv fodder
4. Main black character who used to be in a gang but pulled himself up and now helps manage and run the most successful company in town
5. Sly Chinese grandpa who finds out the kids are superheroes and instead of telling offers them a cover story if they need one
6. Bad ass female characters who don’t need no man (but still date because girls can do what they want)
7. Boys who aren’t afraid!!! To have feelings!!! And one who’s learning that thats okay!!!
8. Terrible humor and making fun of slang terms. So many puns about stretching.
9. Criminals who are only criminals because they don’t really have another choice who are given second chances instead of jail time
10. Really nice looking animation????
11. A continuous story arch but each episode is still unique to the show
12. Overall diverse show??? Like even background and side characters aren’t just white?? I haven’t watched the whole series and so far there isn’t lgbt stuff, but I wouldn’t put it past them.
13. Botany teacher who is WAY too into plants. And everyone loves said plants. Also botany teach is super protective of his students
14. Bois who enjoy some schoolwork but also hate it. You know, like a normal teenager.
15. Side character bully played by Josh Keaton (Shiro, VLD) who HATES Nathan (played by Steven Yeun [Keith]) which is fucking hilarious
16. Such polite bois who say please and thank you to the villains
In conclusion pls watch this show I’m so pleased with it thus far its worth your time I promise
So. For the past few days I’ve been hanging out with friends and in my head and on paper I’ve been brainstorming what fusions of the Ninja (from Ninjago) would be and behave like. I’ll work on the designs later but for right now I just want to share what my ideas are. Feel free to share you’re ideas or add more.
(And just for the sake of time and I don’t want to send my entire day writing this, I’m not going to write fusions including Lloyd, Nya, or Morro. I’m also not going to be talking about fusions with more than two people. Trust me, those will be posts for another day.)

Dad Jokes with Kratos
hot take: ‘chivalry’ is fine as long as it’s adapted to 21st century values. if you are a male, you SHOULD be aware that your female friends face certain issues that you as a male dont. acting on that awareness in a way that keeps your female friends safe, isn’t a bad thing.
like… opening doors isn’t rly chivalrous when it’s just a thing you ought to do for everyone. but real 21st century chivalry might be, like, standing between your female friend and the guy that’s trying to get her drunk, or offering to walk her home when it’s late.
if the ‘chivalry’ inconveniences everyone involved and you’re just doing it for your over-inflated male ego — ie, “no you’re the girl here, you HAVE to let me hold this door for you and do all these things for you even when you can do it yourself and im just slowing you down” — then it’s just outdated misogyny.
Secret identities
Suburban Batfam
Batfam goes undercover to infiltrate the community of a suburban neighbourhood in hopes of discovering a secret society
Everyone (mainly Tim and Dami) argue over who gets the biggest room
Bruce gets it because it’s the master suite
When the fam moves in, their next-door neighbours give them cookies
The neighbours seem a little too nice, so nobody touches them at first
Except for Tim, who wasn’t there when it happened
He thought Damian was a little too eager when he offered some to him, but he ate them anyway
“Why are you eating the cookies? I thought you said they were too suspicious.”
“I offered them to Drake the other day and he hasn’t keeled over yet, so I deduced that they were safe for consumption.”
The neighbours across the street are very nosey and (in damian’s opinion) ask too many questions
He’s as suspicious of them as they are curious about the batfam
When asked about why their dad isn’t seen much, the boys shrug and say that he works the night shift and saves lives
Damian feeds all of the neighbourhood cats, strays or otherwise.
He slowly amasses an army of cats
Selina approves of it. Bruce? Not so much.
He still pays for the cat food though
Jason acquires a dog somehow
Dick feels like he takes better care of it and that it should be his
Tim disagrees
It’s still up for debate
Damian eventually convinces Bruce to let him bring Titus over as well
Duke and the girls come over every other weekend for family night
They receive noise complaints every time
Due to a fight between Dami and Tim, the tv is broken and mario kart is officially banned from the house
One of Damian’s cats has a litter of kittens and everyone secretly thinks they’re adorable (except Dick, who readily says it to anyone who will listen)
Jason sneaks off to play with them when nobody’s looking
Bruce is no better
Nobody really knows how to cook except for Dick
It’s more like he can boil things and use the oven without catching anything on fire, but still
Jay can too, but nobody needs to know that
And maybe Bruce, but he’s too busy to cook
Dami can only cook eggs
He tries
Alfred visits every now and then to make sure nobody’s burnt down the house and drops off various sweets
His consideration is greatly appreciated
Tim isn’t allowed anywhere near the oven since the 2nd time he caught it on fire
Tim befriends a group of moms and speed walks with them every morning to hear about the latest gossip
Sometimes it helps with the investigation
Sometimes there are rumours about Bruce
Sometimes they’re true
Tim laughs them off while internally freaking out
“Did you hear?” -Kelly
“Hear what?” -Janet
“There’s a rumour going around that *Bruce Wayne* is living in our neighbourhood.” -Kelly
“No way!” -Janet
“Yes way!“ -Kelly
"Heheheh, what a crazy rumour, right? There’s *no way* somebody like Bruce would move to our modest neighbourhood.” -Tim, sweating nervously
They were invited to a cook-out pool party once.
Somehow, Jason caught the pool on fire
Never again were they invited to such an occasion.
Everybody keeps forgetting that Alfred isn’t around and consequently, forget to do chores
One time the dishes piled up so high, they collapsed on poor Damian
Bruce had to devise a chore chart to make sure everybody did their part in keeping the house relatively nice looking
Dick dog sat for one of their neighbours once and their daughter watched him through their security cameras.
She has a crush on him now & is a little stalker-y.
