with a black fountain of faith at his lip

@ghostofadragon's batman/dc sideblog! call me clips & any pronouns - i like comics, animated shows (especially btas/2004), batman unburied, the arkham games, my own au (#clipsverse), and often other things as well! - header from hush #11

EDIT JAN '25: i'm pinning this post to my blog since it's more recent than the last pinned post; however my au is in constant motion/development and this may not be entirely accurate in the present day. it should still give a general idea of what's going on, though. i might make an actual starter-guide info post to pin one day.

also, this chart contains a clerical error. cass/orphan's background color should match the 'court of owls' domain instead of being blank.

-

SURPRISE! a shiny new relationship chart for (mostly) all of the current cv members! needless to say it is much... MUCH bigger than the old one i made back in 2022. i'm not even sure i put that one on tumblr. i've also included a handy key image for clarity.

some important notes:

A. this chart is not exhaustive - as unfortunately i am constrained by 1. my memory and 2. the amount of colored lines i can put in there without it getting incomprehensible. if you think something important/obvious is missing i probably either forgot, or it just wasn't physically possible to get into the image. take it with a grain of salt!

B. the "domains" aren't necessarily literal - it's more of an arbitrary mental categorization system and less of a guarantee that two characters are directly positively associated with one another. a shared domain can mean that characters either 1. share overarching narrative involvement (i.e. harley and the joker), 2. are involved in a significant conflict of interest (i.e. the al ghuls vs the court of owls), or 3. have spent significant time within or dwelling upon a particular part of the overworld (the sewers, arkham hospital).

this chart is also not set in stone! i change and develop details of this au all the time and that includes the interpersonal relationships of various characters.

also, the plaintext of the heads, and the old chart (circa 2022) for posterity:

i will not lie to you all, i think batman caped crusader is uninspired at best, but i AM excited for season 2 to come out for the sole reason it will give me more inspiration to daydream about my own fuckass au becoming a big budget tv show one day

AN ABSOLUTE BATMAN SHOW ANNOUNCED TOO??? FUCK YESSS

does your crane have nosocomephobia?

had to look this up but in a technical sense, sure. it's more motivated by his PTSD than an outright irrational phobia like one might have of like, spiders, but he definitely does have a severe and panic-inducing response to hospitals or hospital-like environments

Butch-ish Harley Quinn anyone?

I was studying old magazine pages and oops! It became scriddler.

Process pics that I think looked cool 👇

lying in bed considering the unexplored potential of an anticapitalist narrative that could be spun from joker originally being an ex ace chemicals employee exposed to inhumane working conditions. does nobody think about this. well i DO <- girl who has work at 6 in the morning tomorrow

“What’s love got to do with it” anon here, also wanted to say thank you for your scriddler playlist and fool in the heart fic. The playlist introduced me to some seriously great songs and the fic made me listen to fool in the heart on loop for weeks. What would my life be without Daniel Knox.

Unrelated, what’s your opinion on Batman the audio adventures scriddler? I think drug dealer scarecrow and geeky Boston accent riddler are hilarious together

thanks!!! truly daniel knox is one of my fav artists i've discovered in the past few years. i'm a big fan of btaa! btaa jon is one of my favorite performances from that podcast. i'm pretty ambivalent towards btaa scriddler but i do like them as characters individually. i also drew a pinup of btaa scarecrow that's findable on this blog somewhere...

Was listening to “What’s Love Got to Do with It” by Tina Turner and immediately thought about your cv scriddler fics especially the collision series. It was immediate and gutting. Had me almost heaving in the car hhhhh I love your fics so much they hurt me I love it. “it’s physical, only logical, you must try to ignore that it means more than that” “Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?” AAAAAA. All the lyrics are them I hate them so much.

CRAZY SONG PULL. I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY. i think about them often... their stupid back and forth... can't they just be honest already

enamored with this two-face moment so I had to redraw it

love love love when a particularly manipulative character is lying off their ass about something and then throws in one hauntingly genuine line
