It’s so sick to finally post this! It was made for Gleason who received it as a print in New-York comic con today!

Thank you so much to @cer-rata who helped me do this and even let me have this amazing opportunity!

Damian trying to convert his friends to the shoujo side one by one!

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.

Damian, explaining why his best friends tried to/wanted to kill him when they first met: well you see once you've gotten the murder attempt out of the way the only place to go is up!

Noticing things

[incorrectbatfam]

I need Dick's reactions to Gen Alpha Dami and Jon, maybe if he's babysitting or chaperoning them both or smth? Thank you!

Damian: Grayson, my friends are coming over.

Dick: I'll run down to the gas station for some snacks.

Damian: Tt. That's nothing but chemically treated junk peddled by megacorporations who fund deforestation and violate human rights at the cost of our health and taxpayer dollars.

Dick: Well we don't have much at home so I'll take you out to eat.

Dick, muttering as he leaves: Deforestation and taxpayer dollars...

———————

Damian: Grayson, these are my friends. You already know Jon, Colin, and Billy. Meet Maya, Maps, Kathy, and Suren. Guys, this is my fossil of a brother, Richard.

Dick: I'm only 27!

Maya: 2024 minus 27...

Maya: You were born in the 1900s.

Dick: So, Kathy, where are you from?

Kathy: *stifles a laugh*

Kathy: Ohio.

The kids: *high five*

[at the arcade]

Dick: They're charging four tokens to play Doodle Jump? I played this for free on the school iPads in junior high.

Colin: Inflation.

Dick: How about your game, Suren?

Suren, wearing VR glasses: *whacks Dick with a plastic sword*

[at the prize counter]

Maps: I'll take that.

Maps: *points to a box*

Dick: What is it?

Maps: I don't know. It's a mystery. Now record me doing an unboxing for my gacha channel.

[at the pizza parlor]

Dick: Where's the menu?

Damian: It's the QR code on the table.

Billy: Mine's not loading.

Maps: Womp womp.

Dick: Here, we can use a print one.

Billy: *tries to zoom in on paper*

[at home]

Bruce: How was your day? Did you have fun?

Jon: Yeah. We even saw an influencer at the thrift store on the way back.

Damian: Tt, more like a they/them catboy Karen.

Bruce: That's... nice?

Bruce: *looks to Dick for an explanation*

Dick: *shrugs*

I don't know how I drew the first one really. All I remember was feeling so upset and projecting and the next thing I know, Damian's suffering in front of me. Good thing I also drew him some great friends to help him pull through! Really wanna do more of his crew. They're all color coded and everything! UGH!!! SO CUTE!!! Why must I be so busy? TvT As always, I often challenge my own artstyle, so their designs may change from time to time as I wasn't completely satisfied, but I'm happy to at least finally have them out there for y'all. -Bubbly💙

I watch people ignore Colin being Damian's first friend, using Maps to provide a love life in fan fiction, and forgetting Maya is Damian's sister. Suren no one even knows you. Colin, Maps, suren and Maya get behind me, and I'll protect you. I miss you so much.
