What did you think of Allison this season? While I did like the idea of her burning out and just going crazy with her powers the execution was not it. Like I know they were trying to incorporate her comic self but in a show which barely uses the comics the fact they chose the sa out of all things to adapt is so 😑

tw for mentions of antiblackness and sexual assault also tua s3 spoilers i guess

allison was really just spiralling in the messiest way which sure is what spiralling is all about but it was so hard to sympathise because of how cruel she was and this cruelty wasn't even a departure from her usual self bc this show has always made allison the most verbally aggressive (and not in a fun/funny way like five's constant jabs) because of the writers misogynoir (they tried to pretend this season that she hasn't always been written like this but. footage not found!) and yeah I was SO shocked they did the assault scene. it exists in the comics as an isolated vignette i Guess to show how fucked up they've all become but I think it was unnecessary then and is unnecessary now in this show. of course i am not saying this because I condone what she did but it's just so unfair of the writers to do this to the shows only black woman character (and the only black character to last more than a season 😑) because she is NOT coming back from that.

speaking of which it was sooooo dirty of the writers to finally acknowledge how allison and diego as the siblings of colour have been treated differently (of course allison was subjected to period-accurate racial trauma last season but nothing mentioned about diego and lila other than the unspoken implication of their institutionalisation because again. antiblackness. sadism.) only for diego to manifest his solidarity by? taking her to hatecrime fight club??? genuinely cannot tell if the writers intended the scene with them beating up racists as empowering or what. was diego doing that and calling it awesome while white boy luther expresses his earnest concern supposed to show us that diego 'gets it' or that he, her only living sibling of colour, is irresponsibly helping allison off the rails?? it just tastes bad!!!!

also on a less serious but connected note. perhaps it's because i've also been watching the lazarus project where a similar thing is done and executed wayyy better but making all of allison's bad actions the result of losing her daughter because of the time travel was not the move... this show has always explored themes of parenthood but allison's suffering alongside lila's (also rather sexist) pregnancy conundrum plotline has made this the weakest season for woc representation.

and then she/we went through ALL THAT for (my theory) reggie to shove allison in a hotel oblivion room to live out her delusions of family happiness because it could never exist for her in the real world. my guess if they get another season is she's gonna be put on ice for at least half of it while the siblings work to get her out but because of all the character assassination this season no one is going to want root for her anddddd. it just sucks. I'm so mad. this show is collapsing in on itself in every sense.

So does we are robin still happen in this universe or does duke go straight to the signal like in the reverse robins au? Does Tim also become Robin in this au too?

We are Robin does not happen but I do think all the birds used the name Robin as a sort of training name so at one point there was three Robins running around with the name and when they reached a certain level in their training they got to choose their own name, bc I kinda want all the kids to have been living together before Jason died Dukes parents are straight up killed by Joker when Duke is nine it's one of the things that contributes to Dick just deciding to go kill the joker after Jason dies

How would dukes powers work in the vampire au or does he just have normal camp powers?

Dukes actually one of the reasons why I decided a while ago that light wouldnt really effect vampires in my au, so he's able to have his normal powers while still being a vampire

Wow Im kind of mad it took me this long to find this project exists, I think what you guys are doing is amazing. Are there any spaces/jobs left on the project?

Hi!

Thanks so much for your kind words! Unfortunately we currently aren't looking for writers and artists. However, once we've made more progress with writing, we will be looking for sensitivity readers. So if you're interested in that, do keep an eye out for any future posts about it!

Something to do with Dukes beef with the riddler?

Alsjak ok VERY tempted to write the prompt legit as “Riddler Beef” BUT will def rephrase it 😂😂

For sure tho, I feel like we Bring it Up, but don’t talk NEARLY enough abt how Ready Duke was to throw down with riddler. Y’all he was a BABEY
