Rotting brain

sometimes I decide to read DC... almost every time I remember why I stuck to the fandom.

Jason: *staring blankly into a streetlight* throwback to that time I didn’t realize astigmatisms existed and I thought everyone saw lights as the distant, brighter cousins to sea urchins Tim: *in the middle of bandaging his brother’s knife wound* *pauses* wait. You’re saying they don’t? Jason: Jason: we both need glasses

[chaoticbatfam]

#I ALSO THOUGHT THAT#HELP HOW DO PPLWITHOUT ASTIGMATISM SEE LIGHT?????

(the number of people i have accidentally enlightened with my jason todd wears glasses headcanon posts is insane) uh yeah apparently light is not. supposed to be spiky. i am not an expert on this because i have an astigmatism but i don't have glasses to treat it so. light continues to be spiky for me. pretty sure it's just supposed to be glowy.

[vghjvvhhj]

no no- I have glasses- they still look spiky! I can't- is it just like- an Orb of light? or like minecraft lighting????

[chaoticbatfam]

it’s not something that gets fixed with regular glasses. Idk, they have to do something special to the glasses I guess. I have regular glasses and light is still spiky for me

[stories-i-guess]

LIGHT ISNT FUCKING SPIKEY?!?!

WHAT

SINCE WHEN

[chaoticbatfam]

apparently since forever

[stories-i-guess]

BECAUSE I FOUND THIS OUT I DID A BIT MORE LOOKING

WHY DIDN’T ANYONE SAY THAT SUBTITLES WEREN’T BLURRY TO EVERYONE?!?!

[chaoticbatfam]

dude you need an optometrist

[aspens-treehouse]

Read that as optimist

[chaoticbatfam]

we all need one of those. it's the token "hey maybe dying wouldn't be fun" person in the friend group

[aspens-treehouse]

Where do I get one of those

[chaoticbatfam]

well in real life, i have no fucking clue. i don't have a single friend that lives in the same state as me. ONLINE, however, i have good news: i myself am an optimism chameleon which means i can sub in until you find a real one (maybe buy one? idk how expensive they are)

[saiaisaiko]

Fucking hell that derailed. Anyway, I'm happy to tell you all, that optimism in my irl friend group isn't a lost thing. All my friends are more the "life is good" type. I myself love life, nature and expiriencing things. So life is great!

[chaoticbatfam]

there are no rails on this website. “Off the rails” is our motto

[likeiknoworsmthin]

Ok, but... How is the "not spiky" light looks like? ¿Someone with NO astigmatism that can explain that for us? I'm really curious about that.

Also. I have glasses, still spiky. Looks pretty.

[graciehart]

In theory, maybe I get the “we’re all just playing with barbies, they’re fictional characters, no interpretation is incorrect because it’s an interpretation” argument. But actually no, not all takes are equally valid. Framing something as an interpretation doesn’t mean it inherently has merit. Some takes are completely incorrect and betray a fundamental misunderstanding of the source material. They just aren’t a reason to harass people or send death threats

Hi, new Mr. Terrific fans! Do you want to get to know him after watching the movie? Here’s a short and easy reading list for you!

Important details to note:

His name is Michael Holt

He’s a legacy character. There was a Mr. Terrific before Michael named Terry Sloane who has been dead for decades. He’s the reason why “Fair play” is written on Michael’s jacket sleeves.

His origin includes attempted suicide.

His mask has a purpose! It makes him a walking blind spot to cameras.

The New 52 Mr. Terrific is a completely different character.

Reading list:

The Spectre (1992) #54 (Michael’s origin)

JSA (1999) (He Joins the team in #11 and becomes chairman in #27)

Justice Society of America (2006)

Checkmate (2006)

The Terrifics (2018)

Mr. Terrific: Year One (2025) (A modern retelling of his origin. Currently two out of four issues are out. The third releases on Wednesday while the fourth comes out a week after that.)

If you have any questions, ask me at @fall-of-fall ! Happy reading!

I'm a very big fan of the “one of the ways Batman fights crime is by making the bad guys afraid he could be anywhere”. The “he’s not in every shadow, but he could be in any shadow” thing.

I think it would be fun to mix that with the way the rest of the batfam is drawn when they're in shadows:

the glowy eyes and splashes of vibrant colour, especially with Nightwing's symbol looking like it's actually reflective.

So now I'm thinking:

imagine if Gothamites realized that dangerous people get really uneasy when they keep seeing things that, out of the corner of their eye, might look like a vigilante. To the point that they avoid areas where, let's say, an old poster on the wall is just that shade of yellow that keeps jumpscaring them every time they turn. Or that old trash can that still has a patch of green paint that hasn't peeled away yet. Not even realizing what makes them nervous, just knowing that a particular place makes them jumpy. Stuff like that.

So to keep themselves a little safer Gothamites just start… adding little things like that in their neighborhoods. Nothing that outright references the Bats - stuff like that might get vandalised or just lose the effect if it's recognised, but things like:

- plants on window sills in flower pots or vases in bright colors

- little shiny trinkets in the windows that just might be mistaken for a flash of a utility belt

- colorful curtains get very popular for children's bedrooms

- someone sticking a piece of blue reflective vinyl on a chimney visible from the street, so that as you walk you see a little flash of electric blue when the light from streetlights hits it just right

- people painting a pair of dots with glow-in-the-dark white paint high up on walls by fire escapes or in dark alleys, that look like glowing eyes

So basically I want Gothamites to invent protective charms and amulets which have exactly zero supernatural properties and aren’t intended to have any, but still very much work lmao

Ok, this is canon in my heart now.

[tattooedzombigirl]

This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

[imanutcase-10]

Then bring me luck

[thirddeadlysin]

the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work

[likeiknoworsmthin]

Ok, I need a little luck, good luck potato. I have enough of bad luck (if you gonna give me bad luck at least make it enough to take me out of this life).

Dynamic Duo Adult Designs, not set on anything and was honestly afraid to touch it, thoughts?

[sweethotspot]

Dick: Okay, so with Bruce being on a mission with the Justice League, we need someone to be Batman.

Jason: So you just be Batman again

Damian: Actually, I strongly disagree with that arrangement

Tim: Don't tell me.... you think you should be Batman?

Damian: No, I'm aware I don't have the same attitude to be Father

Jason: really?... just the attitude?

Damian: I believe Cain should be Batman

Cassandra: Oh?

Dick: Umm.... Dami, I don't think-

Damian: Think about it. Grayson is too nice, Jason has way too much pent-up anger

Jason: Fuck you.

Damian: And well Drake is just..... Drake

Tim: Wow...

Damian: Cain is the only person who can match Father to a T.

Dick: There are many reasons why she can't be-

Jason: No, no, no, Dick. The demon child has a point

Dick: ..... um, okay then

(Later thar night)

Penguin: About time you showed up-

Cassandra (in Bat suit): You'll pay for your crimes

Penguin: ..... the hell am I looking at?

Robin: What?

Penguin: WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT? WHO IS THIS?

Red Hood: Batman, duh

Penguin: No, don't do that

Nightwing: Don't do what? This is Batman

Penguin: That's obviously a teenage girl

The Batkids: (gasps loudly and in sync)

Penguin: WHAT?!

Red Hood: How dare you assume his gender.

Robin: During Pride Month, too

Red Robin: (shaking his head) and here I thought you were an alley

Penguin: okay no just take me in

A little fanfic idea in my head cause I read this fanfic (multiple times)

You’re all Grounded by: SamLikesToRead on Ao3

So all of the teams are gathered together because of an alien invasion or some other large-scale event that required all of them to work together

All of the batkids are the leaders of their individual teams, as we all know, but they act completely differently

Smiling and relaxing happen extremely rarely, and they’re very ‘Batman’ when it comes down to it

They’re very strict and precise in their leadership. No joking around, no goofing off, no sarcastic quips

But suddenly, as far as all the other heroes know, they’re acting all friendly with these different heroes that they’ve never met before, or even purposefully antagonistic when they're usually level-headed and never provoke anyone

They’re very much so acting like annoying siblings to each other

And when Batman enters the room, suddenly they swear they’re useless

“B, open my Pringles, please. I swear they glued it shut.”

“B, do you have any juice boxes?” And they're just digging through his belt nonchalantly

Nightwing is just lying across Bruce’s shoulder, and Red Robin has stolen his iPad and is reading all the confidential information he has on it

Just stupid stuff, and they’ll whine if they have to do anything, complaining that they’re too tired from the fight, and Bruce will obviously give in

And then it’ll be revealed that the lazy couch potatoes are indeed his children. Whether there's a reveal that they're the Wayne family plus his bonus children doesn't really matter to me
