Coffee-ghosties - Chronic Coffee Drinker

love myself a cockroach of a character. i look at them and go ”how is that fucker not dead? they should be dead. they should be dead ten times over. how are they not?” and 90% of the time the answer is a combo of sheer stubborness and homosexuality

A random comic from the lovesquare au during an arc where kons self esteem as superboy was really low. There was supposed to be a part before this explaining it and a whole actual plot but I gave up on it. It mostly revolved around the perceived distrust he believed Robin had for Superboy, as well as criticisms from the public regarding his actions (sort of like in some of the ‘94 comics) making him question himself. I drew the above comic basically a year ago but since I gave up on the other one I might as well just post this now.

Oh, Archivist, we're really in it now

As somebody who has written Batfamily fanfiction (mostly for myself but I have like two things public), Bruce Wayne's relationship with his kids will always be the hardest part.

Yeah, I could fanon it. But I do try my hardest to be at least vaguely canon-compliant in terms of characterizations/relationships.

BUT the history of Bruce Wayne as a father changes depending on the author you read, which Robin is Robin-ing at the time, and what trauma Bruce happens to be going through. Is he going to be deeply supportive of his kids and attend their events and be both awkward and proud? Is he going to hit his kids? Who knows, certainly not DC writers.

(I'm of the opinion that Bruce Lost-His-Parents-At-A-Young-Age & Adopted-Kids-Like-Him-To-Build-A-Family-He-Didn't-Have-As-A-Child Wayne ABSOLUTELY should be a Good Parent[TM], albeit a bit Overprotective Dad. But there are only a handful of authors who follow this depiction)
