[birdw4tching]

You guys don’t even wanna know what we’re cooking on discord

[toddsolondz]

dick is leaving voicemails like No that’s fine ignore my call it’s not like i had anything important to tell you or anything. it’s not like i’m dying. even though i could have been. i’m not bleeding to death in an alley way or anything. but i could have been. and you would have missed the call. and all you’d have to remember me by is this voicemail. hope the concert was worth it tim

[toddsolondz]

and he’s doing this with 643 unopened messages and 329 missed calls up his ass.

[toddsolondz]

Reading golden age comics is like “what if some bullshit happened and everyone calls each other chum and you have like a 10% chance of seeing someone punch a Nazi” and it’s great. But then the silver age hits and it’s like “HI FELLOW KIDS 👋 GOD BLESS AMERICA NOTHING BAD HAS EVER HAPPENED THANKS TO GOOD OLD UNCLE SAM, YA DIG? 🇺🇸 BATMAN AND ROBIN KNOW OTHER PEOPLE TOO BTW THEYRE NORMAL 🦅 🦅”

[nitpickspot]

Golden Age comics aren't any LESS gung ho patriotic than Silver Age ones.

If anything they're by definition way, WAY more patriotic.

There's a cover of Batman handing fresh guns to an American soldiers. it was during goddamn WWII

[birdw4tching]

I know, I mentioned WWII propaganda in the first sentence of this post 😭 I’m making fun of the delivery and writing style and squeaky cleanness of the silver age, which happened to be emphasized by cheesy patriotic dialogue :p

Hiiii so @birdw4tching and I did an art trade, our prompt was disguises 👀👉👈

comic refs under the cut

[birdw4tching]

I did an art trade with the wonderful @nibblewinger 😋 their post is right here !!!

The prompt was “disguises” so here is Matches and Robin cnc fun, but Dick isn’t being a good actor

[birdw4tching]

I love this show

[three-semicolons]

Do you understand how many of my takes can be summarized by this????

[twistpixel]

you do miss babs dick same haircut. you do miss it.

[birdw4tching]

Why is babs constantly hanging out in dick’s apartment instead of him randomly climbing through her window and bothering her while she’s on her computer. We used to be a country

[birdw4tching]

Every time the titans tried to talk to each other about their problem it went one of two ways

1. “So and so has the same issue as I do. Must be normal!”

2. “So and so is in a situation that I recognize as bad and I have the extreme opposite of that situation. I’m so much more normal than that guy.”

So everyone think they’re the most normal and that’s why they’re like that

[dickgraysonsptsd]

some % of why dick grayson is so appealing to me as a reader who is a rape survivor is that like it is literally just like that sometimes. someone rapes you and you have to go to work and get groceries and do your homework and wash the dishes. sometimes you have to go to work or class or the grocery store with the person who raped you. maybe you don't tell anyone about it for five years and maybe you never tell anyone. you compartmentalize it most of the time because life won't let you put the tasks of living on hold for you to process it, and maybe sometimes you compartmentalize it because that lets you live a life where it didn't happen. literally just a relatable guy

[calebwittebane]

you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for an amazing reason

How dick Grayson deals with conflict

Dick Grayson 95% of the time: hey man you’re overreacting we’re all trying to do some good here so let’s calm down and work through this

Dick Grayson that other 5% : hey man we get it you have crippling ptsd bc of the plan that you fucked up and got your wife killed and we all have to sit here and lie to your face about it and tell you it wasn’t your fault when deep down you know you could’ve done something. And it’s even more sad because she had your pathetic excuse of a man self for a husband? Come on man, she must have been a saint if she wasn’t getting something somewhere else because we all know you weren’t… preforming… and she was definitely unsatisfied. Anyway I guess we’ll never know, sorry did I say we? I meant you because I know? Why? Because of the fact I’m not fucking bad enough at my job to get my fucking wife killed? You ever think about trying to be competent? No? Okay? Just a suggestion

[birdw4tching]

Dick trying to sound normal about Batman during the titans’ early years: yeah it’s all good sometimes I feel like we’re so intertwined I can’t tell who’s veins my heart is pumping blood through but we’re cool like that

[keysmashslushy]

in my dream world the Roygarth bullying turns lowkey psychosexual and Garth is Roy’s sadist awakening and one day this dawns on Garth and he is Not Comfortable with it

[keysmashslushy]

I need them to be sparring that turns into Roy mocking Garth whenever he gets him pinned (common occurrence) and Garth feels Roy’s half-boner against his hip and there’s a beat of silence as they both decide what to do about it but Roy keeps going and doesn’t acknowledge it and Garth feels slimy sick and is ruminating over it all week and trying to decide whether that was like how he feels
