Issy cooked so hard here that she probably burned a new hole in the ozone layer. It's actually taken me a really long time to make this post because I keep stopping to stare at it. She got their individual vibes on lock, and somehow managed to make causing problems on purpose into a team sport.

Damian Wayne

Honestly just need to yap about him.

Damian as a character is often written awfully *cough* DCAMU *cough.* However, at his core, he is one of my favourite DC characters.

I love his Robin suit, his mild edginess, and his spiky hair.

Ships

Damijon - I love this one so much. My no 1 ship. I can accept them as just friends though too.

Daminika - Probs endgame in the current DC comic canon. Lowkey love it.

Damicolin - Underated. Better as friends but still a really sweet, rarepair.

Damirae - Ewww. Ewww. Eww. If you need my opinions on that, just search damirae on my blog. Its titled Damian ships or smthng.

Mantles

Robin - Love his 2nd suit (the current one.) Honestly one of the best robin suits. I quite like him as Robin tbh but I do feel like he needs to move on.

Batman - Oh helll nooo. Maybe only acceptable in a reverse robin au. Otherwise, it just is not it. Also, I hate his batsuit.

Other?? (Future) - Love the idea he ends up as crow. Honestly fits really well with his current suit. Would love to see it one day.

Headcanons

Has way too many pets - Oh he is an animal person alright. One of my fav genres of batfam tumblr posts is people making up new animal friends for him.

Doctor - So symbolic. His mama and both grandad's had medical degrees. Love it for him. Also as someone pointed out, he was trained to kill from birth, but would instead be saving lives. Also love the implication that he wouldn't have enough time to be a vigilante.

Jason and the league - Absolutely love the idea that Dami knew Jason pre Bruce. The idea that Damian at least knew someone when he came to Wayne manor is sweet. Talia knew he would be safe :)

Friends

Jon Kent - Supersons. If they aren't dating, they are honestly my favourite friend duo in the comics. Love it when they are in a trinity with either Lizzie Prince or Jack Kole.

Maya Ducard - Enemies to friends. Dami is definitely lowkey scared of her. She could and would beat him in a fight.

Irey and Jai West, Mari Grayson, and Lian Harper - oh this a pet peeve. I hate it when people pair them together. Damian is at least 5 years older than all 4 of them. It doesn't make sense for them to be friends. Like 11 year old Damian is not befriending babies and toddlers. I hate it when characters get their ages changed so they can be friends with others.

Others - There are so many so I will just list them.

Colin Wilkes, Suren Darga, Tai Pham, Jack Kole, Lizzie Prince, Chris Kent, Conrad Bishop, Milagro Reyes, Kathy Branden, Nika (Flatline), Rose Wilson, Connor Hawke, Ace West, and Maps Mizoguchi.

Notes

Oh that is another pet peeve. When DC retcons friendships. Oh, Suren and Damian? Cute. Who is Suren. Like I just got attached to this character and you've just got rid of them?

And another pet peeve. Obviously, you can write a character how you want, but I hate it when Dami is wrote to be rude. Not bratty, but outright rude. *cough* DCAMU *cough.*

Can you tell I hate the DCAMU?

Wonder Woman (2023-) #4

Last art post of 2025, and it's a big one...

@tamdrry agreed to do this for some reason, and man did they really lock in. This was a wild project on all sides I refuse to admit how long it took me to do all the redesigns and initially I'd wanted to post it after I finished the Trinity fic, but I'm taking forever, and this deserves to see the world.

Closer looks under the cut!

The Couch Hang

Left to right: Darla Dudley (Lieutenant Lightning), Kathy Branden (Beacon), Damian Wayne (Ifrit), Conrad Bishop (Star Sapphire), REDACTED (The Phantasm)

Cards Against Metahumanity

Jack Kole (Wonder Boy), Lor-Zod (Superboy III), Jeffrey "PJ Holt (Fairplay), Jon Kent (Superboy II)

Aqualad's #1 Fan

Suren Darga (Apostate), Colin Wilkes (Abuse)

Working Hard, Or Hardly Working?

Maya Ducard (Nobody), Mia "Maps" Mizoguchi (Robin VI)

...So yeah! That's it. Amazingly, the only two OCs are Conrad and REDACTED, the rest are just updates to forgotten characters. (Jack is a little cheating maybe, that boy is dead in canon and was never Wonder Boy, but you know, technically not an OC--)

It's a crazy year for many things, including amazing art. I may do a 2025 retrospective post later, idk, but It's been a lot of fun working with everyone, and next year is only going to get crazier.

"Photo op"

My wonderful friend @yrkhn did this for me, and like I don't have to say anything, really, look at them.

On a serious note, go check out his work. It's a bit of a rough time and he could use all the love and support we can offer. Maybe even snag something this gorgeous in the process, why not?

"First Pride"

Rennyk does it again, this with an incredibly pretty, gloriously lit and delightfully detailed depiction of Damian and Brian's first time at Pride.

..Jon is probably fine.

(3/3) Young Justice II

Jack: ...I dunno, cowboy, Cassie said the name was maybe literally cursed. Jon: C'mon bro, that's a little superstitious, don't you think? Jack: Superstitious?! Jack: Next you're going to tell me you don't believe in ghosts. Jon: Hey, I keep trying to explain, Ms. Moonlight isn't an actual ghost-- Jack: Girl, I am one of at least five people you know who are alive and used to be dead. Jon: Jack: Half of us here are also MAGIC-- Jon: Okay, but my point is, it's cool and Kon said we could use it-- Darla: Billy also mentioned things were kind of a mess. Darla: Apparently, a psychopomp went off the deep end, Darla: There was a reality show, Darla: A truly surprising amount of dubiously necessary nudity-- PJ: Some of them ended up tortured on Apokolips. Jack: Jon: Darla: ...Oh? PJ: They would loop the audio during snack time when I was small. Jack: Darla: Jon: ...Was it like...a normal snack time otherwise...? PJ: PJ: I dig the name. I would like to use it. Darla: Yeah, yeah, okay-- Jack: W-whatever you want, buddy. Jon: YES!!! Jon: This is going to be great!

It was not great.

Thanks again to @frishbi, she really cooked, I'm low-key still reeling a little bit here.

Variants under the cut!

You know, there are somehow all of the colors of the pride flag represented here. Not on purpose, but truly appropriate...
