There We Have Her, Robin Steph, The Indomitable Human Spirit All Dressed Up In Traffic Light Colours!

There we have her, Robin Steph, the indomitable human spirit all dressed up in traffic light colours!

Powers include:

-Flight

-Enhanced athletics

-Enhanced healing

-Colour Swirl: releases a concussive hailstorm from the staff in the form of a bright colour shower

-Red Herring: produces an afterimage of Steph who attacks unsynchronized. Good luck predicting her moves when you don't even know which one is real. Which one of them is the real one? The one about to attack you with a beam of light -or, apparently, beat you up with the magic staff? Or the one coming down on you from the ceiling with a mysteriously acquired steel chair? Who knows, certainly not Cluemaster that's for sure.

As someone who struggles to evaluate pain correctly this pain is so helpful, but also don't hesitate to give details and a comparison along with your answer when you can! Because "really hurts but I can kinda speak so idk" didn't help, but "I need two people to get up and it hurts worse than that time I was bleeding out because of X" got me the help and pain relief I needed efficiently! Also don't hesitate to ask questions if you're unsure how to rate, like, "what number would a broken leg be" etc. Pain shouldn't be the standard

is it really true that the average person's pain level is a 0?

"It's snowing on the rooftop where they find eachother. Compact chunks of ice crunch under his boots, white covering the black grime leftovers of Gotham's pollution. From up here, the twilight can reach them, and it falls with the snow on the Red Hood in sick red hues."

Lantern AU part 2

(This is part of an AU in which some of the lantern corps work differently for a bunch of reasons, here's a post explaining it:

Kon: Holy shit, Rob, what's with the makeover?

Tim: Um yeah, so I guess I'm a Green Lantern now.

Kon: Well damn, I die and you become a whole new superhero? When did that happen?

Tim: Uh, somewhere between attempts 76 and 88 I think...

Kon: What?

Tim: What?

Cass: ...

Floating indigo ring:...

Cass: *squints*

Floating indigo ring: *flickers*

Cass: *tilts her head*

Floating indigo ring: *flips around itself*

Cass: *blinks*

The double dozen of goons she was busting: ...we could... Leave you guys to it?

Cass and the floating indigo ring: Shhh.

Steph: Hey dad, it's visiting hour.

Arthur Brown: Stephanie? What are you doing in jai-

Steph: *punches him in the throat*

Steph: *kicks him in the shin*

Steph: *punches him in the face with a bright green giant fist construct*

Steph, looking down at the green power ring on her finger: Now where did that come from

Bonus:

Hal, coming back to earth after hearing there's a bunch of new lanterns in the rough that spawned around the same time: So what's been up with Gotham?

Bruce: My blood pressure

I was having feelings about Victor Hugo's poem "Demain dès l'aube" (Tomorrow at Dawn) about his grief following the death of his daughter and Bruce losing Jason and I wanted to make a little comic with the text, but I'm scared to draw Bruce and can't seem to get the angel statue right, so here's a spotty translation of the poem so that you, too, can feel sad about it. Choices and sacrifices were made to keep the rythm and most significant parts, things got lost in translation that I couldn't salvage, but I still hope it helps sharing a little of its beauty.

Tomorrow as the land pales in the light of dawn,

I will leave for you see, I know that you await

I will go through the woods, and through the mountains high

I can no longer stay so far away from you.

I will walk with my eyes boring in thoughts my own

Unseeing any sight, unhearing any noise

Lone, and unknown, with a bent back and folded hands

Sad, and the day to me will be such as the night.

I will not gaze upon this dusk a golden fume

Nor the shade of the ships sailing to the harbour,

And then, as I arrive, I will lay on your tomb

A bouquet of holly and blossoming heather.

Victor Hugo, from the Poetry Collection «Les Contemplations» Book 4, Pauca Meae (1856)

This isn't even the poem I've read that fits them best, far from it, but I keep picturing Bruce walking from the cave (leaving the Robin suit) through Crime Alley to the cemetery and being sad about it and now you get to be sad too.

I tried to draw an illustration for the first fight scene of the protector chapter 5 but as it turns out I am not good enough for mid-air side profile battles yet, so have this magical girl AU semi-transformation batkid picture. Barbara is transformed in that picture, unfortunately I realized after drawing her facepalming that the outwards sign of her semi transformation, which needs to be discreet as she often uses it in public, are multicoloured smoke coming out of her eyes and mouth, which I couldn't draw with that pose. I'll try to make quality art of it sometimes though.

Fun fact: the fictional magical girl anime this AU takes place in is called "Starlight Lullaby" and spawns over more than fifteen 30 45 minutes episodes long seasons plus one reboot and two movies. It follows the adventures of the batfam, with some arcs centered around one character and some arcs putting the highlight on relationships and the family as a whole as they fight supervillains, mend their relationships and interact with dc superheroes with the powers of love and semi-sentient Gotham-specific constellations.

(Shirts : Cass' says "Volving", Duke's says "All Colours Are Beautiful", Steph has the Star Trek symbol, Tim is in his canon Oasis shirt (nerd), Dick's says Big Dick Energy, Jason's says "I survived my trip to Ethiopia" with 'survived' barred by a crowbar, and Bab's says "Silent, Tranquil, Fluid, Unafraid".)
