You don't even need to be a journalist, experts LOVE answering these kinds of questions. I, a regular-degular idiot, recently contacted the Smithsonian asking what kind of ink to use on mineral paper for maximum longevity, and I got a very detailed response in under 48 hours.

Going down by bi-monthly Batfam vampire au rabbit hole and why can I never find any duke vampirism? He would be such a funny vampire I’m so serious

He would make it SO glaringly obvious he’s a vampire, drinking blood in public and saying it’s juice, not touching anything silver or anything with garlic in (the worst part about being a vampire to him) and he wouldn’t enter a single building without asking

But, he can make himself show up in photos and mirrors, by making a illusion of himself around him to any outsider it would look the same and show up on camera, so anytime anyone tries to prove he’s a vampire they just can’t, they can’t take a picture of him to be like hey he’s not showing up that’s vampire shit and he drives people insane

On a similar vein he can go into the sun by every so slightly diverting light rays so they don’t touch him and he doesn’t really think about doing it, he just does it

I’m just saying duke as a vampire is a untouched comedic gold mine

[guysandcorpses]

peace and love but if you’re writing duke and you have him being eager—or even willing, really—to be called a member of the bat family, you’re writing him wrong. i absolutely think he should be considered one, but he should always be reluctant to accept that he is. he does NOT wanna be lumped in with those freaks. hes still not the normal one tho.

Reading comics and looking at fanart is not enough. I need to hug Duke Thomas.

a complete Marvel Universe rewrite

here me out- I know I don’t post on this blog anymore and that it’s been entirely DC BUT- I’ve been working on something.

Sometime around August last year I had a spur of the moment idea and started working on an entire rewrite of Marvel Comics, starting with the X-Men.

I’ve been working on this for around 10 months now and I’m still working on the X-Men side of things, so I thought “fuck it why don’t I talk about this”

I’ll admit I was not a giant X-Men fan until I started this project but damn have they grown on me even if I still don’t know as much as other fans probably do.

BUT I would absolutely love to learn more about the X-Men from people and to share all the ideas and work I have put into this project since it began all the way back in August.

[superheroesiguess]

should I make a new profile for social media edits or do it here and restart this blog?

Ivy: I’m still trying to figure out why you like me.

Harley: Because you’re sweet and funny.

Ivy: Well Penguin says I’m mean and grumpy, so one of you is lying.

All the Duke Thomas (w/ Batfamily) Hugs I Could Find

⭐ Duke and Bruce:

There are none (yet), so the closest affectionate gesture I could find between these two was this tender fistbump:

All-Star Batman #1

And this almost hand-holding moment, kind of:

Detective Comics #983

⭐ Duke and Cass: 

Batman and the Outsiders (2018) #3

Batman Secret Files: The Signal #1

Batman and the Outsiders (2018) #8

Batman and the Outsiders (2018) #9

⭐ Duke and Dick: 

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures #10

[thebatcreature]

So this is how Duke's eyes look when he's using his powers right?

One of my favorite and very specific interactions on batman fics is ‘batman finds out Jason is alive and the league of assassins is involved somehow and immediately calls talia':

Batman: What did you do to my son?

Talia: Which one?

Batman: What

Talia: Always a pleasure to talk to you, beloved *hangs up on him*

Drabbles from a fic that may or may not ever be written

In which Tim and Jason stumble upon a plot convenient device that transports the user into a different dimension/universe. Except it’s broken and they don’t know how to work it yet so after they accidentally trigger it they’re pretty much just tripping through the multiverse in the hopes that maybe they’ll eventually end up back in their universe

————————————

Jason, after killing his 28th Joker and saving baby Robin Jason for the eleventh time: You know, this isn’t too bad

————————————

In a universe currently experiencing a zombie apocalypse

Tim: Hey look, it’s your people

Jason: You’ll be one too if you don’t shut up

————————————

Jason: *cackling*

Tim, horrified: I can’t believe I just punched Batman.

Jason: *cackles louder*

Tim: He’s so YOUNG right now.

Batman who’s been doing this for like three weeks: Hey! I’m above legal drinking age!

Jason, practically wheezing: Oh my gosh you punched baby batman

————————————

Jason: How many times have we stopped a world ending scenario by getting rid of a big red button?

Tim: Fourteen.

Jason: Some people have no creativity.

Tim: What are you waiting for, a big blue button?

Jason: Well I’m just saying it’d be nice…

————————————

Tim: This is so weird.

Jason: It’s unnatural is what it is.

Tim: This is Gotham! There’s not supposed to be *sunshine* here.

————————————

Jason: So let me get this straight. You are… Ratman?

Bruce, dressed in a large rat costume: Rats are terrible.

Jason: Uh-Huh. So how’s that working out for you so far?

Tim: Just please tell me your secret base isn’t in a sewer or something.

Bruce:

Tim: This is the worst timeline.

————————————

Damian: You mean to tell me that in your universe I have SIBLINGS?!?

Jason: Uh, yeah? There’s like fifty of us on any given day. Are you seriously an only child?

Damian:

Damian: FATHER! You must rectify this immediately!

Tim: Is this a greener grass situation or is he plotting our murders?

Damian: Two more children will not kill you!

Jason: I’m thinking the first.

Damian: I AM NOT THAT BAD!

Tim: Can we record this to show Damian later?

————————————

Tim: Did we do it? Are we back?

*Batman flies into the sky and punches an alien who lands about a mile and a half away*

Jason: Yeah, I’m gonna go with no.

Tim, fiddling with the dimension device: Dangnabit.

————————————

Jason, looking at a nineteen year old Bruce Wayne: Oh, I’m regretting all my life’s decisions up to this point.

Bruce: So does that mean you’ll train me?

Tim: Where’s the computer?

Bruce: The what?

Tim: *now five seconds away from a breakdown*

————————————

Jason: You’ll send this to the Justice League when we get back, right?

Tim, filming Batman using a glorified pogo stick and a slingshot: Obviously.

————————————

*Barbara and Bruce together*

Tim: I will never be able to unsee that.

Jason: I think I may need to gouge my eyes out now.

————————————

Jason: Oh, oh, this is somehow worse.

Tim, watching other Tim and Barbara on a date: Why is the multiverse so weird?

————————————

*sees a dinosaur batman*

Jason: I am suddenly filled with such a morbid curiosity…

————————————

In a no capes universe

Tim: So this is what it’d be like if we all got therapy.

Jason: And yet somehow Damian’s still here.
