Curious question: does Thad interact with other clones in your opinion? What does he think about cloning and what are his thoughts on clones in regards to identity and being a clone of someone else? Does he seek out other clones or ignore them? To my recollection the prominent clones in DC besides Thad are Donna, Kon, Match, Slobo, and Damian Wayne has numerous clones.

//Yes!! Thad does interact with clones and happily so, or at least he enjoys getting to know other clones and bonding through the shared trauma experiences because that is a rarity for him.

Thad thinks poorly on cloning thanks to his own personal experiences as a clone such as how he was treated more as a tool/object/etc. than a person or a son, and how people have treated him because he's a clone. In particular, the comparison to Bart, how he can't seem to get out of his shadow, and how he's always connected to him or seen as secondary to him despite being his own person. An individual with his own life and wants and everything.

As for clones, Thad doesn't think negatively on other clones because they're clones. He empathizes with them. He wants to get to know them. He wants to form bonds with them because they're the only ones who truly get it. They have such a unique shared experience that only they understand.

He absolutely does seek them out when he's aware that an individual is a clone. As I've mentioned before he wants to foster bonds with other clones. Though of course like any relationship it might not work out just cause they're clones or they might not get alone with each other as people, but overall Thad does try to form relationships with other clones..

In conclusion: Thad would like to say, "Quit your job. Join my emo clone band."

How does Kon feel about the uno king?

Bart IS the UNO KING || Accepting

Kon does not vibe with the Uno King and the Uno King scares him a little bit. "There's a reason why we had to go to group therapy, burn the cards and sign that contract."

how does broose handle the damian reveal

Hi. I’m still trying to figure out the exact timeline I’m going this time around but for me, realistically, this Broose would be a lot better equipped to handle Damian. And I think that’s more credit to the Alfred and Bruce relationship as its written in this verse.

Alfred still can’t stop Bruce when he’s got a dumb idea in his head but he brings a lot of sense and reason to Bruce’s nonsense. And that ostensibly, this or my Bruce is written with so much Father energy that I think he’d be more equipped to handle emotionally the task of having a surprised child than the comics. 

And I think its also because at least my Bruce hasn’t gone through the whole traumatic and unnecessary event of the whole Crisis event that adds further turmoil to the relationship. This bruce just hasn’t had those universe breaking moments. He’s just some guy fighting bad guys in Gotham and maybe around the world but that’s it. 

So him finding out he’s had this child all along is more of a gift than what some comic writers might try to write as a burden. Because here is a man that is more in tune with his mortality more than ever, and understand what he might lose at any point and is not willing to squander it. Not anymore. 

So I think it’ would be a fascinating venture trying to see him be the good father and actually more equipped to handle the kind of life Damian has had to come out of before they meet.

@stonefoxy asked: (Skaar @ Ry) Gabby and I need you to film our tiktok dance Mention of @huneibadger Accepting Random Asks

ㅤㅤ" Using Gabby's or my phone? " He doesn't have tiktok on his phone, not that it would take him that long to download. He's not all that into social media for himself, he'd been trying not to have it on his phone at all. But with Gabby wanting to have some fun with her friend, he doesn't see the harm. As long as he's not pulled into it, maybe if he doesn't check the idea won't be brought up.

Also what are your thoughts on the fact that Young Justice did the "clone infilitrates the team and no one realised it wasn't actually the real teammate" thing twice? First Kon, then Bart, were replaced and no one was the wiser!

Accepting || Send me or my muse curious anons @stonefoxy

THIS!!!!

This is something I find so interesting! The fact this specifically happens at least twice (technically 3 or 4 times considering Match impersonates Kon twice, albeit he was jokerized the second time, and there's also a one-off gag where the whole team except Bart is replaced by robots and Bart doesn't notice) within the same team and that in both instance no one even noticed or realized that their friend was replaced is WILD.

Some scattered thoughts on this.

Wow how KonBart this is. They can bond over this potential shared trauma. (Sorry, sorry, I just really have them on the mind like that.)

It's really fucked up that the team didn't notice either time. Like it makes you wonder what their perceptions of Kon and Bart are. Like how is it they view their friends that allows them to assume Match and Thad are actually Kon and Bart. While, yes, Match and Thad are trying hard to make sure they are imitating their respective genetic originals as best they can, they're not exactly perfect. Though just considering these two times where there is a significant period of time where Kon and Bart are replaced (Kon was replaced for months according to YJ: Sins of Youth Secret Files. Bart is replaced probably weeks or a month, I assume,) it's a stab in the gut. It certainly has to be for them. We see it with Bart and how he discussed with Carol how he thinks people liked Thad's version of him better than they do Bart himself, though with Kon we don't really get to see the impact Match's impersonation does to him. He's angry at Match when he confronts him, but beyond that there's no discussion of how the long-term impersonation affects him. But I assume it's not good considering Match easily replaced him without anyone noticing until Kon showed up. Though at the same time I can also see Kon also being more pitying toward Match because Match is still following orders and being forced to impersonate him than being an individual. But who knows? Additionally, I think it's also interesting that this occurs with the two characters who probably have the biggest identity issues of the YJ group. One of Kon's major themes in the Superboy comics/surrounding his character is the theme of identity and defining who he is not only because he's a clone, but also as separate from Superman, as a hero, and as an individual. While Bart has to deal with identity in the sense that he is from the the future, his behavior is atypical from society of the 21st century, and that he is being forced to conform to more neurotypical behaviors or to become "normal" from a societal standpoint rather than being allowed to embrace his individuality and differences. I don't have anything substantial to say, but it's just an interesting coincidence.

Overall, I don't think there's a lot I can say other than these teens as a group are either a bit oblivious at times or very trusting. I think it might be a lenient opinion of the situation, but considering at most it happens 3 or 4 times (depending if you want to count the robot thing) and they don't really accuse or question each other then I think it speaks more to how they view and trust each other. They're so trusting of each other that the idea of impersonation doesn't cross their minds immediately, which is probable a "nice" thought/kind interpretation of the situation

Slobo runs his tongue over one of his sharp pointed teeth and shrugs. "I mean doesn't everyone participate in at least ONE prison break?"

@stonefoxy (Slobo)

Thad watched closely at how Slobo's tongue ran over each of his sharp teeth, maybe a bit too closely, before his gaze quickly shifted back to Slobo's eyes, and his ears perked at the words, 'prison break'.

"I mean," He tips his head to the side and crosses his arms, "Saying 'everyone' is a bit generous. Not everyone's like us." Thankfully.

The speedster's gold eyes flash with mischief, "But it sounds like you've got some thoughts. Maybe even a prison in mind, huh? Or are you just dangling a tempting hypothetical in front of me?"
