Not Sure If I Should Dump All Of My Dsmp Art Here Or Leave It In The Past (aka My Twt)

Not sure if I should dump all of my dsmp art here or leave it in the past (aka my twt)

I love the posts that are like "Well this is very clearly the canon but y'all are So Desperate to ignore canon and warp it to whatever fantasy you have for these characters." Like yeah. That's what fandom is. That's what most fan-fiction is built around. The DC fandom specifically is basically built on picking and choosing which comics you personally feel in your heart are canon. That's the fun of it. "Y'all love to ignore some things just to make your character dynamics work." Yes. Yeah that's the point. Correct.

That one fucked up animation on YouTube, I’ve blocked out almost everything about it but I still distinctly remember the opening shot of the (indoor?) pool and smth about tentacles

calling all authors!!

i have just stumbled upon the most beautiful public document i have ever laid eyes on. this also goes for anyone whose pastimes include any sort of character creation. may i present, the HOLY GRAIL:

this wonderful 88-page piece has step by step breakdowns of how names work in different cultures! i needed to know how to name a Muslim character it has already helped me SO MUCH and i’ve known about it for all of 15 minutes!! i am thoroughly amazed and i just needed to share with you guys 

The conflict between Tim and Dick at the beginning of Red Robin is accidentally the most interesting thing to happen to their relationship in years but everyone seems to want to simplify it to either "Dick is mean and unfair" or "Tim is a selfish brat" when the BEST batman conflicts (of which this could be one) are the ones where everyone has a point.

But the thing that REALLY gets to me is that, whether they think Dick was right or wrong for his choices, everyone seems to act like it was a logical and unemotional decision on his part??? That choosing to not believe Tim's theory was obvious and immediate?

Imagine:

Tim strolls into the Batcave and gives Dick everything he wants on a silver platter:

Hey, none of this is real; you don't have to be Batman. We can be Robin and Nightwing again, and we can go save our dad! You don't have to move cities and derail your entire life and raise a kid by yourself.

You think Dick didn't want so badly to say yes?

You think he didn't want to throw away everything and run off with Tim, that he wasn't desperate for a way out of the terrible burden Bruce had laid on his shoulders?

But Bruce had entrusted him with everything. His city. His legacy. His kid. His kids.

Dick made the infinitely more difficult choice, because he wanted Tim to be right so badly but would not abandon what he had been entrusted with. Would not let Gotham fall. Would not abandon Damian to fester with no one to care for him.

Would not feed into what very well might be a delusion wrought from grief, no doubt hurting Tim in the process, just so that Dick could avoid reality for a little longer.

The bats have an entire group chat dedicated to keeping Tim from becoming a super villain.

At first they weren’t too concerned. Sure Tim was a little questionable, but he seemed normal enough, despite his sociopathic tendencies.

The issue originally started as a joke. Jason was complaining about how hard it was to take over and manage a majority of Gotham’s underworld. Tim had laughed and said he could probably catch up to Jason in about 2 week, probably less.

The entire family bet on it. And surprise surprise, Tim won…by a landslide. Did everything and more in a week. When asked how Tim just laughed.

“Please. I know everything about everyone in this city. Nothing happens here without me knowing.”

And hold up? Did Tim already have a control of the underworld before this because that’s cheating? No he didn’t but the Bat’s learned that Tim has built and maintained a massive informant system that spans across everything in the city and some outside.

When asked why he just shrugged. “Bruce locked me out of the bat cave one too many times when I was Robin so I had to find my own way to get information.”

Later they learn that Drake industries did not go bankrupt. Well it did, but Tim bought it for Pennie’s on the dime and it now goes by Jackson Industries and has been systematically funding and buying rights to a number of medical practices/studies/etc to then redistribute at affordable rates. The reason every civilian in Gotham has a rebreather is because of Jackson Industries.

Also apparently Tim is a majority share holder with LexCorp. Again when asked Tim shrugged and said something about one to many attacks on Con and being ready to sweep the rig from Luther’s feet at any given moment left the man a lot more paranoid and a lot more careful.

That’s not even touching on Young Justice. The bats found footage of their early missions and realize that they’re def a ride or die group and they would 100% follow Tim before they stop him.

So yeah. They have a chat dedicated to making sure Tim doesn’t tip over the very thin line to villainy because honest to god, they’re not convinced they could stop him.
