Cassowary!

She’s the youngest of Songsparrow’s dragonets and the half sister of Rune

Her older sister is Kookaburra (who’s still a WIP)

Although Cassowary is only younger by a week

Cassowary likes to read fictional stories and goth romance, often inserting herself into the protagonist role. Maybe if i ever write a story with all my OCs she’ll have a part in her POV

She gets her NightWing traits from Dingo, who is half NightWing and half WildWing.

She likes to keep to herself most of the time, having a small circle of friends. She has some sleep issues due to her NightWing side, having trouble sleeping at night and being very tired during the day

Re: the last ask

Making Dick bi and working in a shout-out to Tim's sexuality as well is one of those little things that really shows how well the Gotham Knights team understood their audience. Specifically, it demonstrates a really keen understanding of the difference between writing for a Bat-family audience as opposed to a Batman audience.

You can see that in a lot of little things throughout the game, to the point that I'm really impressed. It's in the design of Gotham, both in leaning hard into the exaggerated gothic architecture (have you seen the cathedral??) and the choice to go for a "neon noir" aesthetic rather than gritty gray-and-brown ""realism""; it's in the design and utilization of the female characters, favoring showing off their personalities over making them look "sexy;" it's in the way all the writing about Bruce focuses on his kindness and nobility and portrays him as a stern but obviously loving father figure; and it's in the little details, like how Jason gets e-mails from cooking blogs, his therapist, and his favorite bookstore. Heck, it's even in the nature of the various references scattered throughout the game, like which friends are sending emails to check in on which knight, and the specific street art projects that fill out that one collection side-quest.

It's one of those things where I'm not surprised if it reviews badly because most video game reviewers fall more firmly into the Batman fandom demographic. They're more likely to favor the Arkham games, with their inspirations in the grim & gritty dark ages, and since Gotham Knights didn't try to do anything new or special with the gameplay there's not much here for them.

But for the Batfamily audience, the people who really want to be playing Nightwing and Robin and Batgirl and Red Hood? They went above and beyond in understanding what that audience (in general) favors in their stories, and it's awesome.

So there are a few leaked pics from the next episode (including my girl Min!) on Reddit r/wotshowleaks, and Lews Therin is one! His uniform has a similar look to what you see in space set sci-fi series like Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek, and I am beyond happy about that given how I wanted it to be emphasized that the AoL was in our future despite being in their past.

Ok Oh my God what the hell happened there

I finished Moon Knight and the only thing I can soberly admit is that it was the most beautiful episode so far.

This is really not what I expected but I won't complain because I like happy endings??? Even tho whatever is happening with the "mental institution" thing fucked me up even more.

The only thing I want to know from anyone who's seen the leaked RE8 cutscenes is whether Chris still has the same voice as in the trailers.
