my piece for @peppersonironi 's fic Duke Thomas VS. The "Good Child" Stereotype for the @dukethomasbigbang!! Check it out! It's hilarious!

[IMAGE ID: a five-panel digital comic. First panel: headshot of Jason Todd, a young Latino man with stubble and dark curly hair, the front section of which is white, he has a smartphone held to his ear and is standing in front of a bookshelf with an expression of annoyance on his face, while the speech bubble above him reads “But I was off-planet and-“. Second panel: Jason in the same position, noticing something off to the right and out of frame. Third panel: Duke Thomas, an African-American teen in a pink sweater with a pixilated heart on it. He’s peeking into the room Jason’s standing in and giving his brother a cheeky wave and a wink. He’s smiling like he knows something. Fourth panel: a wider view of the room. The camera is behind Duke’s head. Jason is visible from the knees up, he’s revealed to be wearing blue jeans and a white shirt with green sleeves. He’s eyeing Duke with suspicion and his speech bubble read’s “…who did you say was caught with the boombox, again?” while Duke lets out a small nervous laugh at his sudden confrontation with the consequences of his actions. Fifth panel: black and white digital drawing of the boys wrestling. Jason is enraged and on top of Duke, sitting on his chest, one leg wrapped around his brother’s head and one hand holding his head down while he tries to punch him with the other. Duke is tangled up under Jason, a determined expression on his face as he struggles while blocking the elder’s punch. END ID]

Fandom: DCU Comics

Words: 20,198 (chapters 2/6)

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Pairing: Gen

Summary:

The last thing that Duke expected on what was supposed to be just a regular patrol was being suddenly thrown five years into the past, coming face to face with a darker, more violent Batman than the one he knew, a broken family, and a Tim who was a foot shorter than Duke, and not even Robin yet.

A silent shadow flitted past him, just barely visible on the cave walls. He went rigid, tracking the shadow in the corner of his vision.

And then he dropped to the floor, just in time, as a familiar black gloved fist passed overhead. He just barely missed being hit by the punishing blow that would have landed right on his temple for a sure concussion if he hadn’t dodged.

“Batman?” Duke yelled. He somersaulted forward, just barely avoiding another strike. “B, what are you doing?!”

“Who are you,” came the growled response. A shiver crawled down Duke’s spine at the grim hostility in Batman’s voice that promised violence, and something tightened in the back of his throat.

Chapter 2 of my @dukethomasbigbang fic is up! Thanks to my betas for the project, @sultcnah and @ant-ifascottlang!

 This is my piece for the @dukethomasbigbang.

I worked with @peppersonironi who is a amazing writer, this is from chapter 5 of her fic! 

[Image ID:

Duke Thomas, a Black boy, Cassandra Wayne, an east asian girl, and Stephanie Brown, a white girl, are sitting on a four-poster bed. Duke is sitting cross-legged on the bed, his hands lifted as he addresses Cass and Steph. Steph lays on the bed with her head on Cass’s lap and her feet braced against one of the corner posters. Cass, in an oversized Batman hoodie, cards one hand through Steph’s hair.

my 2nd piece for @an-ace-bi-the-stars's fic, Signal Beyond, for the @dukethomasbigbang! s;sdfsdf i know Virg was only there for like 2 seconds but i love him ok?? he and Duke deserve to interact.

[IMAGE ID: digital art piece of two male-presenting African American teens, pictured from the hips up, standing and talking to each other. Static Shock (AKA. Virgil Hawkins, whose costume is composed of black pants, blue gloves, a white shirt with the Static symbol on it, a yellow belt, a trench coat type jacket with black on the hood and tops of the arms while the rest is blue, a white mask that covers the top half of his face yet leaves the eyes visible, and yellow goggles resting on his forehead. His hair reaches his cheekbones and is styled in dreadlocks.) is on the left and The Signal (AKA. Duke Thomas, who’s dressed in a yellow helmet with a black visor, black pants and belt, and yellow arm guards over a form-fitting jacket with yellow sleeves, black from the shoulders up to the neck, and a lightly armored yellow torso with a black stylized bat symbol on the chest) is on the right. ((For context, these two heroes are from the DCAU and normal DC universe, respectively.)) Static points and jokingly says “Your Batman has problems, man.”, to which Signal responds by playfully nudging Static with his elbow and saying “So’s yours.” END ID]

my 1st piece for @an-ace-bi-the-stars's fic, Signal Beyond, for the @dukethomasbigbang!!! Leap I've adored getting to work w u!! Seriously, y'all it's a great fic featuring two of my Favorite Boys, how could I not??

[IMAGE ID: in a dark room The Signal (AKA. Duke Thomas, a male-presenting African American teen dressed in a black bodysuit with bright yellow boots, gloves, chest and shoulder pads, as well as a yellow helmet with two spikes on top reminiscent of bat ears and a pair of yellow escrima sticks in hand) leaps over Batman (AKA. Terry McGinnis, a white male-presenting teen whose full body is covered in a sleek black suit with spikes on the forearms and top of head- the color only being broken up by a silver utility belt at his waist, red bat on his chest, and white eye lenses). The two share a grin as they strike at a pair of Jokerz gang members from a spotlight, The Signal jumping high to kick the green Joker in the face while Batman sweeps low to knock the red Joker off balance with a strike to the hip. There’s an artist signature reading “Ook” in the bottom left corner. END ID]

[ID: Digital artwork of Duke Thomas—a Black teenage boy—vaulting over some unlabeled crates in a dark warehouse. His eyes are glowing yellow and he is dodging red and blue lasers that are shooting at him. It's night outside and the city skyline in the background is futuristic. He's dressed in plain dark green pants, brown dress shoes, a black t-shirt, and a brown leather jacket.] My second piece for @dukethomasbigbang!

There were very few times when Duke wished he’d listened to Batman. This was one of them. After touching the device he’d been specifically told not to touch, he’d ended up in some strange timeline where Bruce was old and incredibly grumpy and Batman was a teenager. Now he just had to figure out how to get home and what exactly he should do about the teenager who was clearly struggling to handle Gotham on his own.

This was my fic for the @dukethomasbigbang​! I want to give a huge thank you to all of my betas and artists for helping me with this - I couldn’t have done it without you. You’re amazing and I love you all so much.

This is the first chapter of my fic for the @dukethomasbigbang! I’ve had a lot of fun working on it, and its been such an awesome project. A huge thanks to my betas, @sultcnah and @ant-ifascottlang, who worked hard to help me whip this fic into shape!

There’s also some amazing art for this fic by @elliebelliegirl, @lantaniel, and @vigiilantism that you should absolutely check out!!

[queerbutstillhere]

Here are the pieces I made for @dukethomasbigbang ! Made for @crystalinastar 's fic which I will link here! I really enjoyed getting to do this art for Crys, and for getting to work with her throughout the event, and I'm grateful for the experiences and knowledge modding this event gave me!

[Image ID: a moodboard with nine images. The background is black, and the images are evenly spaced. The top left image is of a rusty axe, partially buried into a wooden log. The middle left image is of a lightbulb, cast in red light, with a red filament. The bottom left image is a black man curled up in fetal position in a solid white room, he's wearing black pants and nothing else. Middle top image is of a red neon sign that reads "We're not in Kansas Any More". The very center image is a black and white photo of a couple figures, but they are blurry so it looks like there are multiples of each figure. Bottom Middle photo is of a house on fire, there is smoke making the photo dark and obscuring the sun. Top Right image is of a bat flying, the background completely white. Middle Right image is a hand reaching out, the palm lit with red lighting. Bottom Right image is of a tree in a desert, the tree has no leaves, and there is a dune sloping in the background. End ID]

[ID: A title card for the fic. The image is of a boy’s silhouette against bright orange-gold sunlight. The boy stands in a forest, a tree in front of him. The title descends diagonally, reading, “This Shadow You Think You Are (Steps Into The Sun).” END ID]

this shadow you think you are (steps into the sun)

Summary: In what remains of the Dark Multiverse, Duke is a multiversal Batman, the Final Knight. In another multiverse, Bruce Wayne is testing multiversal travel technology in the right place and time, and Duke gets pulled into a multiverse that hasn’t been ravaged by Barbatos. Upon realizing the multiversal barrier breach appears to be a one-time fluke, Duke is stuck there. And with no mission, he has time to heal.
