Probably my favourite scene from DSB by @batfambrainrotbeloved
(chapter 13 my beloved)
I'm still fucking obsessed with the fic and I did this in like. 6 or 7 hours with a sketch, paint, pen, colour pencil, procreate, and some good ol' Google photos editing
Special shoutout to my My Neighbor Totoro earrings they held the paper down long enough so I could get an unbent picture.
(unedited under the cut)
Without artblock I'm too powerful >:3 (2 paintings in a day babyyy)
This is- holy shit this is literally photocopied from my mind- but the way you put the fucking every- okay okay I gotta do a list to get all my thoughts out in coherence.
Arthurs patchwork coat?? Brilliance. Really adds to his character as like "Fuck this is really a guy whose just hit the gutter and fears reaching for the ladder, he will slip"
Cardinal perched, looming down like that?? PERFECT
The way their "eyes" seem to shine as Arthur tries to banish them??
Only to have the dialogue switch to THE CLAWED HAND- and HJAxfdjlkgds;A
Birds. (including the babygirl)
The little internal Block [It was no Bat] CHILLSSS
JUST THE DIALOGUE BUBBLES IN GENERAL
The art itself was already *chefs kiss* but the editing style just takes it to the next level and beyond- I bow to thee.

I was asked by @nader5555 to make this, if u cannot donate please please share this post. Copy pasted from a message i was sent:
"Only a Few Hours Left Before We Enter Our First Year of War, Genocide, Starvation, and Displacement A Final Plea from the Heart of Hell: Save Us Before Hope Dies 💔🔥 I am Abdel Salam, and I have nothing left but words written by a trembling hand ✍️. The war has not only destroyed our lives; it has taken everything from us. Our home, which was once our refuge, is now a pile of rubble 🏚️.
My car, my only source of livelihood, was destroyed in a sudden strike 🚗, and the work that sustained us is now a distant memory 💼. Today, I live in an endless nightmare. Under a sun that burns everything in its path 🌞🔥, my family and I sit in a worn-out tent, a tent that shields us neither from the summer heat nor the winter cold ❄️. Insects 🦟 invade the place, diseases consume our bodies 🩺, and my younger siblings cry from hunger and thirst 🍞💧. We have no clean water or a crumb of bread to ease our hunger. Each passing day deepens the weight of this hell we live in.
My Daughter Eman is Dying from Malnutrition 😨 My daughter Eman suffers from malnutrition; I have nothing to feed or treat her with. The deterioration of her health is killing me slowly. Every glance in her eyes, every pain she endures, crushes my heart 💔. How can I explain to her that what was once our hope has now turned into nothing but a mirage? The Night Only Adds to Our Pain 🌙 The night does not bring us rest; it only adds to our pain. We sleep on hard ground, feeling the cold in every bone of our bodies 🥶, with nothing but pieces of cardboard 📦 to cover us. My wife Aya cries in silence 🥺 as she watches our daughter’s future fade before her eyes. My mother Eman suffers from illness and needs urgent medical care 🩺💊.
My Father Ahmed is Sick with Cancer and Needs Emergency Treatment My father Ahmed, who is sick with cancer, needs emergency treatment outside Gaza, and the cost of his treatment is at least $10,000, not including accommodation. As he suffers from severe pain, I cannot provide the treatment he needs due to our dire situation.
My Siblings Are in Constant Suffering ⚰️ My brother Omar was unable to continue his studies due to the situation. My brother Nader could not take his high school exams, and my younger brother Mohammad suffers from brittle bones and needs treatment we cannot afford. Every day we live brings us one step closer to the end. Death surrounds us from every side: if not from hunger 🍽️, then from illness 🦠. And if not from illness, then from the despair that devours our souls. Where is Humanity? Where is the World? 🌍💔 We want to leave the devastated Gaza Strip to escape the machinery of destruction and killing and the severity of hunger and poverty. The cost of travel for each person is $5,000, and we are a family of seven members, bringing the total cost to $35,000.
Where are the compassionate hearts? Are you waiting for us to disappear into the depths of this suffering? Are you waiting until death takes us before you act? We are drowning, and we don’t have enough strength to scream for help 🆘. Will you let this cry go unanswered? 😭 Your donation today is our last thread of hope. With the little support I received, I was able to buy a simple phone 📱 to reach out to you. But the bitter truth is that what I and my family need is much greater. We are not asking for much; just enough to save our lives from this hell 🔥. Every donation, no matter how small, could be the difference between life and death for us 👐. Don’t Let Us Disappear in the Darkness of Suffering 🌑 Don’t let our story end here. Be the light that guides us to salvation 🕯️✨.
With every tear, with every pain, I write this final plea to you, Abdel Salam."
Just saw an ad for fucking Kellog's cornflakes wherein a shirtless blindfolded man tied to a bed is like "Wait.. are you... eating??" and it pans across the bed to reveal that his partner is, indeed, too distracted to have sex with him bc she is chowing down on corn flakes. Now I've been caught up in wondering whether:
a) John Harvey Kellog would despise this ad; the mere proximity of bondage-play to his brand name and beloved anti-porn flakes is unforgivable
b) John Harvey Kellog would enjoy this ad, because it shows a young woman forsaking the temptations of the flesh in favour of eating a wholesome and nourishing bowl of cornflakes
Cast your vote
A - that crunchy old man is rolling in his grave
B - it's literally demonstrating the flakes' intended purpose
C - what in the goddamn hell are you people talking about
"Are you sure you want to post this without tags?" What, pray tell, tumblr, would I add to this post to help it reach its 'intended audience.' #cornflakes #bondage
Tim finding out that he really, legitimately, was an unwanted child.
It all comes to light when he’s looking through his old medical records after loosing his spleen. He wanted to check that there were no allergies he had other than shrimp and then looked into his family. Of certain cancers or disease were common in his linage, he needed to be aware so he could lessen the risk as much as possible.
That’s when he discovers that his mother, proud !feminist’ and independent woman that she was, had refused several surgeries to remove her uterus or have her tubes tied but still had several abortions.
And by several, the papers literally mean several.
Seven whole abortions of children she didn’t want, yet both her and Jack refused to do anything to jsut… prevent any pregnancy in the first place.
They got it all covered with hush money so it wouldn’t get out to the public, but they ended up making a mistake.
Janet Drake went to a Gala when she was unknowingly pregnant and a woman, whose husband was the owner of a prominent news paper company, noticed several signs that Janet was with child. She pointed this out to Janet and when she saw the look of familiar realisation on her face, promised to keep it secret.
Just a day later an article was shown with a photo of Janet with a barely there bump and just like that, Jack and Janet were forced to keep their baby.
Maybe if they hadn’t made several public statements about being against abortion it wouldn’t have mattered, but hypocrites rarely win.
Tim finds several statements by doctors in their files, hidden away behind several fake files and private stamps, that show the couple had tried to figure out a way to ‘remove’ the child before it was born so it wouldn’t be a problem.
Tim even goes so far as to look at his parents search history around the time and sees in horror as it goes from searches on how to force a miscarriage to the financial benefits of a child.
That’s where Alfred finds him, frozen and staring at his screen with enough tears to make a puddle on his desk.
Tim, after skipping a few grades, is in Jason’s class (before his death obviously). They’re partnered up on this assignment (to propose who Batman’s secret ID could be). Jason tries to get ahead of the game by very jokingly suggesting Batman is his adoptive father Bruce Wayne (backed up with some extremely ridiculous and frankly made up evidence), sorely underestimating Tim’s innate conspiracy theorist, who proceeds make shockingly accurate leaps of logic and come to the correct conclusion
Jason: Get this, Bruce Wayne is Batman because he likes fruit and you know what else eats fruit? Bats.
Jason: Haha sike, as if—
Tim: No I think you’re onto something
Jason: *incredulous panic* Wait no what
Jason tries to distract Tim from independent research by simply taking up every available hour of the day. He accidentally very aggressively befriends Tim this way. Unfortunately, Tim doesn’t sleep and Jason can’t control what Tim gets up to in the dead of night.
Eventually Jason gives up and fully embraces the hilarity of the situation because Tim is in too deep and at this stage he’s like “Bruce is an asshole anyway he deserves to have his secret ID revealed by a random 13 yo ha that’ll teach him to be a stupid stuck up—” (etc etc). And then the presence of Tim somehow acts as a sort of intermediary and improves Bruce and Jason’s relationship enough so Jason doesn’t end up running off to Ethiopia alone and dying, hooray!
AU where Tim wasn’t ever obsessed with the Flying Graysons or Batman and Robin, and thus never found out their identities. And then at 15 years old his class gets assigned a “fun” research project to propose who resident boogeyman Batman could be and, being the overachieving genius that he is, Tim gets sucked into a conspiracy theory rabbit hole and actually uncovers the truth. Mostly he’s mad that he can’t actually give his excellent presentation bc he can’t compromise Batman’s identity even more, can he?
Thinking about that series on TikTok where canon batfamily characters meet their fanon counterparts and I think all canon characters would have a sort of disdain to borderline hate for their fanon versions EXCEPT BRUCE. Canon Bruce would be seething with jealousy
Canon Bruce: so you’re saying… most of them live with you. In Wayne manor. And it’s not burned down every week.
Fanon Bruce: yup! All of them except Jason, he and I don’t get along very well you see… he’s always angry with me so the weekly family dinners are always tense ://
Canon Bruce, through gritted teeth: you see him regularly? Must be nice.
Fanon Bruce: it is! The kids can get a bit rambunctious at times but thankfully their older brother Dick is always there being the good responsible mentally stable older brother he is so there’s not much damage except the broken vase or two
Canon Bruce, glaring daggers: is that so.
Fanon Bruce: there’s also Tim, he can’t get enough of his coffee, sometimes I have to replace it with decaf just to get him to sleep!
Canon Bruce, who has found Tim napping in places he didn’t think was humanely possible to sleep in: hnn
NO LIKE in the ninjago universe. think about it. has anyone ever gotten sick from a bacterial infection at all? can legos even get bacterial infections?? interesting implications to think about here.
legos have genes presumably based on how cole’s mom died, and i’m pretty sure we’ve seen like viral stuff at some point, so viruses can definitely do their whole thing. that being said unless lego cells are that different from normal cells and they just cannot be affected by bacteria the way we can (which opens a whole can of worms) i have to assume that bacteria as we know simply does not exist and instead the inherent magic in the universe is what fulfills all things in the body that would require bacteria in our world. unsure if this applies to protozoa and all the other microscopic things but their role in life can also be fulfilled by magic. i rest my case
seeing as how we’re assuming bacterial functions in lego bodies are being handled by magic, it is quite possible that the magic in their stomachs thought whatever they ate was absolute shit or did not want to deal with the digestive process anymore for a bit. alternatively, whatever happened corrupted some of the magic shit in their stomach and so their body detected this and expelled the corrupted magic. boom, vomiting! (did i just imply stomach acid is magic in ninjago?)
i did assume that the legos had their own versions of cells- since the original forms of cells before evolution were basically bacteria, we’re going to have to accept that legos have evolution, which is an insane statement, well aware, and that there was some mass extinction type event for bacteria and other similar microorganisms, and the only bacteria that survived evolved into the cells that we see in living creatures
I did not understand but for what you are saying is that stomach acid is based on magic and legos are evolved into over protective anti bad bacteria systems?
Does this mean in the world of ninjago, you don't need to clean your hands if you holding food?
after careful consideration, no- if they don’t clean their hands, when legos eat, there’s a certain % of good magic and bad magic all around in the world and it’ll upset the balance of magic in your body if you get too much of that stuff inside you (this is also why you can’t take in too much food or water, because they too have a certain amount of magic in them, and it’ll upset the balance. BUT you can’t not eat or drink because then you’re not getting enough magic in you. this obviously goes with the nutrients and stuff but this is why ninjago people get hangry. trust me i am a ninjago writer.)
Okay, so if legos do lack bacteria, good and bad, their stomach acid define what is good for them and get rid of the bad. (Pythor vomiting up Overlord, I think, which is too much bad vibes.) So, they do need to wash hands which means there is *magic* bacteria instead of regular bacteria.
But since disease do exist like cancer, it means some diseases are gene based which means there has to be a point where legos could get sick from bacteria and viruses before their immune system gotten stronger which is why there is magical bacteria instead.
Have we found the answer about bacteria in ninjago in a shitposting post?
hmm. CONSIDER: have we seen anyone other than cole’s mom, an elemental master and someone who therefore deals with a lot of magic bullshit, get cancer in the lore? zane’s dad died a couple of years after zane was built, and we know his power source has some mystical bullshit happening with it, so it’s possible it may have something to do with it
i propose that while bacteria does not exist, an improper amount of magic in a person (too much or too little) either short or long term is what causes illness in the ninjago world. if you get sick/feel bad after getting stabbed or something? why the magic’s leaking out of you!! this doesn’t apply to everyone: some people can handle more magic (like most elemental masters) but if their body can’t (which would be where cole’s mom, zane’s dad etc fit in) then they’d get sick
now where is the proof that magic is everywhere in the ninjago world and is also what keeps living creatures running, therefore making the existence of bacteria useless? that’s right, THE TEA SHOP
literally how has no one thought about this? those tea plants are grown with specific types of magic in them, and brewing releases it!!! in season four, when chen takes elemental powers away from someone, he does it by zapping them, which would rapidly heat up their body. conversely, ninjago has like magical soul bullshit happening which is fairly obvious if you watch any scene with lloyd. in season five, ghosts (which are described as feeling cold by every piece of media ever, and as ninjago hasn’t contradicted this i can safely assume this applies here as well) possess someone by going into their bodies. this traps them in their mind almost like a lock of sorts, and their bodies would be cooling down!!
based on these canonical instances of getting magic out of living organisms and being able to use it, i propose this theory on the transferring on magic: the hotter it is, the easier it is to move.
returning to my normal point, however. bacteria is just stray magic particles!!
Does this mean djinns or any hot temperatures species can be easily take their power or be used as a power source for magic "bacteria"? Does this mean the venge stone is utterly cold? Does it mean the never realm, there is a lack of magic "bacteria" and have to use something else to stop diseases?
Also death does occur in Ninjago. Morro's body is a skeleton which means bacteria had to either rot his body or an animal ate some of it. (Edit: I remember that Morro's body probably scorch and burnt )
The skulkins possibly was alive once and might have rotten and eaten by bacteria. When the magic is out, where does the puscial body go?
i would imagine hot temperature species such as djinn don’t have a very big magic capacity in them, but they are able to draw magic very easily from the surrounding world, and there’s no real limit to that
when beings die in ninjago, they end up in the departed realm. their dead bodies could possibly function as a one way portal of sorts, and when a person properly dies (cannot continue bodily functions for an extended period of time) it just yeets them into the departed or cursed realm, and their body goes cold so it can’t let the soul back in
once magic leaves the body, as it can be considered as the main source of energy (i highly doubt the sun isn’t made of magic considering the lore) the body without it would slowly be converted into more magic by the magic particle bacteria
What about stuff that isn't alive like cheese? Cheese is conon in Ninjago and since cheese needs bacteria, fungi, and yeast to make its official cheese taste.
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK562892/#:~:text=Cheese%2C%20which%20is%20produced%20by,and%20filamentous%20fungi%20(molds).)
Does this mean that cheese has to be heated up and quickly cool down to just make cheesy goodness?
And since heat = easier to move magic bacteria, does this mean Wildfyre and Kai have an easier time to move their powers, unlike Zane? Does this also mean that Lloyd could be renamed as the magic bacteria Ninja since he has the power of energy and Magic bacteria is energy. Does this also break the 1st Law of Thermodynamics - Energy cannot be created or destroyed since more energy is created if a creature dies? Does your magic bacteria breaks the law of some science? /j
