Sketches under cut.
Amazing art! It's such an honor for someone to be inspired to make this because of something I wrote :D <3
Looking at old pictures of myself to have an idea of how children look at that 8 to 10-years-old for Revival of the Fittest, and instead see the love of my life, Cirkeline (brown pony), and my best friend Latiffa (black miniature horse), Yes, Latiffa is chubby, but most of it was winter fur, and Cirkeline is pregnant in both pictures (the top one is in summer).
I'm also wearing the same coat in the Cirkeline and Latiffa pictures despite being 8 with Cirkeline and 10 with Latiffa. The coat seems to fit, so I guess that I just didn't grow in those two years. Especially as I'm 100% too big for Latiffa but still look tiny.

I just wrote Peter's last Christmas alive for Domestic Moments and it was so stinking cute.
I can already see people who read DM to either tell me it's cute or that I'm diabolical. Both would be true.
👍👍👍 I'd love a link when it's done!
Domestic Moments is a collection of one-shots and it's a spin-off of my Spider-Man and Batman crossover fic Revival of the Fittest, so I'm not sure how much you would like it, but in case you do Revival of the Fittest is here https://archiveofourown.org/works/61119337/chapters/156164167 and 92,000 words so far and Domestic Moments is here https://archiveofourown.org/works/62048506/chapters/158686402 and both are updated about once weekly
I think more people need to play around with Damian's speech. Don't get me wrong, I love the antiquated Victorian child style of speech, but also he's a teenager that swears plenty in the comics. We really need more scenes like:
Damian: Father, I regret to inform you that I have been assigned in-school suspension for the next three days.
Bruce: What, why?!
Damian: My classmate Kevin was disparaging a female classmate for turning him down, so I called him 'a rizz-less, basic-ass neckbeard bitch' and said I was going to fuck his mom and give her a son she'd actually love.
Bruce: *is completely speechless*
Damian: That is all I needed to tell you. If you will excuse me, I have homework to complete before dinner and patrol.
Idea for my fanfic Domestic Moments. Saved to be able to credit it
Hi, do you know where the "no meta in gotham" rule come from? I can't find anything about that. Have a nice day =)
Off the top of my head I think it's probably a combination of Bruce being depicted (generally) in comics/animated movies as not wanting other heroes encroaching on 'his' city, and fandom having a habit of taking minor traits and highly exaggerating them. In more recent decades, Bruce has been characterized as a guy who doesn't like to be seen as friendly, or approachable, regardless of truth. He's 'grouchy' and 'mean', and for the most part other heroes stay out of his city unless invited. Or, that's what he likes to present as a front.
The immediate example that comes to mind is the Justice League: War movie, that starts with Hal Jordan showing up in Gotham, but there are others scattered around. Comics and cartoons both.
To my knowledge, I don't think 'no metas' is something that was ever said in comics, I think it's a fandom creation, but there are a lot of comics and I could be wrong. I think it's fandom's way of reconciling Bruce's opposing 'stay out of my city, I am grumpy and a loner!' bullshit with his 'I have the biggest collection of found family and friends of any hero in DC and keep finding more' reality.
If anybody knows differently, let me know!
I should be doing so many other things but instead wrote the funeral scene from Dick's perspective for one of the prequals for Revival of the Fittest. I haven't cried that much in a long time
characterization cheat sheet: the batfamily boys
Hey everyone! I had the idea to compile a comprehensive list of different traits and attributes for each member of the batfamily based off of both canon and fanon interpretations. I think this could be useful for new members to the fandom, or those looking to write and/or draw for these characters. Remember that these will have a slight bias considering I, a fanon creator, am creating the lists. But I’ll try to make them as accurate as possible.
Appearances vary from artist to artist, so I’ll try to stray away from general details and add more little things you can consider in your art.
Bruce Wayne:
Age: 35-45
Appearance: Extremely physically fit, but signs of aging and prolonged exertion can slip through. Has a collection of scattered scars varying from fresh to fully healed. Strong, dark features. Conventionally attractive, but can easily switch to be foreboding/intimidating. Well kept in public appearances, but can look like death incarnate when in private.
Personality: Dual personas: “Bruce” (at home, but not as batman) and “Brucie” (public appearances like galas, news interviews). Bruce is stoic, well-read and educated, well-mannered, and occasionally can be witty and laid-back. Smirks rather than smiles. Brucie is loud, spontaneous, charming, and sometimes oblivious. He is the womanizer and scandal-maker. Often the actions of Brucie are motivated by Batman’s interests.
Speech: Bruce was mainly raised by as English butler, so his speech patterns are proper and smooth. Rarely uses speech fillers such as “uh” and “um,” except when interrupted while concentrating. Despite living in Gotham his entire life, he has not picked up the accent. His voice is newscaster American, almost impossible to pinpoint to a certain region. His speech as Brucie changes to relate more to the audience he is addressing. Speeches to Gotham high society will sound different than those aimed to the general public.
Additional Attributes: Bruce Wayne in all of his personalities is fiercely protective, and can easily slip into a deeper voice to intimidate. Bruce can be extremely empathetic and slightly impulsive when it comes to children who have lost their parents. As learned through his training to become Batman, Bruce is disciplined and can work for hours straight.
Dick Grayson:
Age: 23-29
Appearance: Dick Grayson mirrors a young Bruce Wayne despite their not being blood related. This could be a subconscious action by Dick to absorb traits of his father figure. His lean acrobatic body starts to set him apart from Bruce’s image. Dick manages to be well-built but still limber and flexible. His feet and hands are rough and calloused. His hair can get long but usually stays at a length in between Bruce’s and Tim’s. His eyes are bright blue without even a hint of green or brown.Â
Personality: In one comic I believe it was Superman who said that Dick Grayson is a universal constant, meaning that on every alternate earth or timeline, you can always rely on him to be good and pure. I think this really sums up who Dick should be. He is kind to a fault, and can sometimes be naive and not think things through. He loves to love, be that in his family, in his romantic relationships, in his friendships, and even in strangers. He is a chronic hero who only wants to see the world as a better place. But it’s important to note that Dick can get angry when pushed, and holds grudges.
Speech:Â Dick is an extremely interesting study in speech patterns. As a child he traveled with the circus, until he lived with clear-spoken Bruce Wayne and a proper English butler. So influences to his speech and accent come both internationally and locally to Gotham and Bludhaven. As a child living at Wayne Manor, Dick picks up a slight Gotham tinge to his accent with some British flourish in his vowel sounds. He regularly speaks in slang. As Nightwing he is able to suppress his unique speech to sound more evenly American.
Additional Attributes: Dick acts differently around each of his family members as to be what they need in a big brother. For example, he is more fatherly to Damian while to Tim he is more an equal. Dick can fidget and has less of an attention span than Bruce. He can use jokes as a coping mechanism.
Jason Todd:Â
Age: 22-26
Appearance: Hair is often long on top and shorter on the sides, sometimes with a white streak as a side effect from the Lazarus Pit. Tallest and heaviest of all the kids, very physically intimidating. Has a lot of scars and burns, and in some fan works he has a “Y” shaped scar the length of his chest from his autopsy. Never skips leg day. Green/blue eyes.
Personality: Jason goes through a lot of character development, but for this list I’m going off a timeline of post-Under the Red Hood, where Jason is on okay, yet still a little shaky, terms with the rest of the family. Jason has a hard time separating vigilante life and civilian life; his death as Robin ended his life as Jason Todd, blurring the lines between the two. Jason is legally dead, so he is basically building an identity back up. He holds some attributes from childhood: brave, impulsive, loud-mouthed, and street-smart. But his experiences post-Robin have made him a hardened loner. He lives modestly and with some semblance of order. He’s hard to foster a relationship with, but can be a passionate friend/family member when he opens up.
Speech: Jason probably has the least influence from Bruce and Alfred’s speech patterns, seeing as though he spent a lot more time with his biological family/on the streets than he did as a preteen in the manor. He is the definition of Gotham vernacular, with a rough edge. So much so that as a child, the high society gala attenders sometimes had a hard time understanding him. Often talks in curt, short sentences.
Additional Attributes: He has trouble expressing his emotions, more specifically anger and/or grief. Can both love or hate furiously. Inherently good, but sometimes does “bad” things. Protective over children, especially those living on the street. Very much a believer in “the ends justify the means.”
Tim Drake:
Age: 17-20
Appearance: Pale skin, dark hair. Sharp cheek bones and jawline, mostly from how skinny he is. His body isn’t technically “built” to be extremely athletic, but he’s forced a nice lean build from stringently working out. Easily loses and gains weight as a direct result of his work, causing fluctuations in his build. Five foot something, will eventually be out-grown by Damian. Long hair that can still be styled to look professional.
Personality: Tim Drake is very passionate in pretty much everything he sets his mind to. He feels as though he imposed himself onto Batman to become Robin, so he works twice as hard to prove his worth. He can be self conscious and deprecating. Tim as Robin or Red Robin is very different than civilian Tim; his hero personas can be bolder and more confident. Despite dropping out of high school, he values education.
Speech: Tim grew up rich, and his speech reflects an intelligence gained from private tutors. Despite this, he knows how to interact with those his age in using less formal language and slang. Often quotes books and movies. Can be awkward and stumble over his words when teased by his friends/family. He can manipulate people easily in business settings by talking fast and confidently while explaining complex topics.
Additional Attributes: Tim’s demeanor is directly tied to his varying levels of confidence and anxiety. Tim is has above-average intelligence and is diligent in detective work, but can still act like a teenager. He can be stubborn to extremes and will patiently play the long con. He does not cope well with loss.
Duke Thomas:
Age: 17-19
Appearance: Short dark hair, shaved on the sides and/or the back. Often wears the colors yellow and black. Around the same height as Tim, but a little taller. Stronger and heavier build more alike to Jason than Dick, but he’s still light on his feet. Expressive face that can give away his feelings easily. Still a bit of a baby face, but he’s still well-proportioned and conventionally handsome.
Personality: In my works, I’ve often described Duke as having a “sun-shiny” personality. He is one to not even think twice about putting others before himself. Duke uses his own personal experiences to guide him as a hero rather than suppress his emotions. Duke went from being an only child to having a large family, so he can sometimes feel overwhelmed. He is on friendly terms with every member of the batfamily, as well as many other heroes. Duke is self-sacrificial and is still learning how to effectively work as a detective.
Speech: Duke grew up in a middle class Gotham family, so his speech is influenced by his parents as well as his city environment. Duke has a mild Gotham accent and speaks a lot in modern slang. He hasn’t had much influence from Bruce and Alfred, considering he hasn’t lived with them for long. It’s possible that as he grows he will pick up some influences from Bruce and Tim’s way of speaking, but will most likely hold onto the accent of his childhood.
Additional Attributes: Duke is a metahuman vigilante in a city where Batman typically bans them, which causes a bit of an insecurity and a perfectionist drive. These are exasperated by the long line of history preceding him, as well as the fact that he involved himself in the Robin movement rather than being handpicked by Batman. He and Tim can relate in that way. Duke is an ardent student of Batman and is dedicated to the cause.
Damian Wayne:
Age: 10-14
Appearance: Looks similar to Bruce when he was the same age, yet stronger and with tanner skin. His hair is expertly cut and styled, but still age-appropriate. He is the shortest of the batkids, but still has a lot of time and potential to grow. He pretty much won the genetics lottery with Bruce and Talia as his biological parents, and is made for athletics. He has some scars that stand out with their pale coloring against his tan skin.Â
Personality: Damian is slowly becoming less of a brat, to put it bluntly. He admires his family and tries to mimic them, but will never confess it. Damian is quick to judge and will voice his opinion no matter how scathing it may be, both as civilian and hero. Damian is slowly realizing he may not want the Batman mantle as quickly as he planned. Jon is a perfect foil to Damian, and often makes him a better person when they’re together.Â
Speech: His speech is proper and formal. Prefers formal titles: ex. “father” over “dad” and last names over first. Damian is at least bilingual (Arabic and English), and can switch between languages easily. Most of his speech patterns developed from his tutors in the League, and more recently, Alfred. Influences like Jon and Dick have introduced him to a more modern, laid-back way of speaking, which he sometimes utilizes when relaxed.
Additional Attributes: Damian has problems with authority, especially those that he doesn’t respect like his teachers at school. He can be arrogant and childish ever though he often acts like he knows everything. Damian is still a child and has much to learn from batman and family as well as unlearn from his time at the League. Dami was forged to be a ruthless warrior, but now has to find a balance between the hero Robin and the child Damian Wayne.
Hope this helps someone! Feel free to add on if you think I missed anything. Just please remember to be civil and respect different interpretations of these characters. Let me know if you want another one of these posts outlining the girls or other characters.

This is just some heights for my story Batman/Spider-Man fanfiction Revival of the Fittest :) https://archiveofourown.org/works/61119337/chapters/156164167
Thanks google
This is hilarious
I have seen nothing of the 7th season of Voltron and I hope Adam is a nice man that Shiro can at least have a neutral relationship with after Adam seeing that Shiro isn’t dead (and recover from that shock) and Shiro can maybe even get a hug because that poor man has been through so much and he’s only like 26. That being said, if Adam knew Keith and still let a 17-18 year old Keith live in that old shack for a year, I’m gonna slap that man so hard that he wished he had never met the hunk of a man he thought he was going to marry and the man’s unofficially but stil kind of officially brother-son. I get that Adam’s life probably felt like it was gone with the man he loved being blamed for his and the crewmates horrible deaths, but both he and Keith could have used someone to lean on who knew Shiro.
Shiro and the Black Lion had fused into one so Shiro could probably, with the Black Lion, choose who could and couldn’t control the lion. I sure hope that doesn’t mean he made sure Keith was forced into leading just because he thought Keith could lead. I mean, maybe he could now that he’s 20 and had 2 chill years with a wolf and his mother but at 18 Keith wasn’t a good leader
I need Keith to be mad at Krolia. Don’t get me wrong, I love her already, but Keith very clearly has deep emotional issues due to the way he grew up. I need him to call his mom out for leaving him to fend for himself and setting him up to have abandonment issues. Keith has a lot of internal turmoil and he needs to release some of it by telling her exactly how shitty it feels to be left alone. Remember after season 4 when Steven said he got real emotional recording for voltron? I feel like we could definitely see Keith having an emotional break down REALLY SOON. I feel like it would be good for him to get it out of his system.
Of course, I want Keith and Krolia to get past it and hug and all that jazz. But Keith needs to call her out first.
I know they get two years together having no one else than each other (and the wolf) and Keith sees why Krolia left but as someone whose mother kicked them out for nothing at 15, I couldn’t agree more
Broken Part 9 (previous, next - coming soon) (start)
Yay, time to save Keith!
