“that’s not accurate to the comics!!” I couldn’t care less, these r my dolls and I will do whatever I want to them, i’m playing house goddamnit!! lemme live in my delusions!! It’s called feeding ur inner child!!!

[reebmiester]

the comics aren't even accurate to the comics

[white-boy-hell]

ya’ll calling a headcanon a ‘mischaracterization’ is so funny bc Tim Drake drinking 40 gallons of coffee a day is a headcanon and Duke Thomas having 0 personality and being the ‘normal’ one is a mischaracterization but ya’ll seem to only have a problem w the first one.

[danitheclown]

every panel of duke I've ever seen is basically him:

a) being a sassy little bitch

b) thinking he is fucking hilarious while kicking someone's ass

c) knowing he is the shit and asserting dominance like God intended

I mean come on that guy wears bright yellow and black?? he knows he looks like a big wasp, he knows he looks like a venomous animal and he likes it

look at him go

superman's suit is so slutty... like man put your collarbones away you're making me blush

i wish i could say this more eloquently but watching these college solidarity encampments popping up around the world… watching university faculty use themselves as shields to protect their students from the police… watching these students put their own safety on the line to demand divestments… i’ve never seen anything like it, and every update moves me to tears.

"Bruce loves his children to infinity but sucks at communication" gotta be one of my favourite tropes.

What Bruce means: I miss you so much it hurts, you are a great hero, and I'm really glad that you still consider me as part of your life and share your thoughts with me.

What Bruce does: hums meaningfully in response to Dick's story.

What Bruce means: I'm sorry about everything that happened between us, I still love you and want to fix our relationship, I'm incredibly grateful that you don't avoid me.

What Bruce does: nods at Jason when sees him on the patrol.

What Bruce means: I deeply care about you, you are truly important to me, I worry about your health and I don't want you to repeat my mistakes, neglecting yourself for the sake of a mission.

What Bruce does: gives Tim a snack without any explanation.

What Bruce means: I'm very proud that, despite everything you were taught, you choose to be a good person and help people, you have a kind soul, and it's an honour to me to call you my son.

What Bruce does: gives Damian an intensive head pat.

Should I say that Cassie is a blessing?

They stare at each other's soul for a solid five minutes and it's basically a full ass conversation.

GIVE ME GOOD SISTER CASSANDRA CAIN

Cass, who knows Dick sometimes just needs someone to sit with him (he feels too much to articulate it all — every time he opens his mouth to speak, he chokes on his words. she knows how it feels. she doesn’t need him to speak to understand him, anyway).

Cass, who takes shit from everyone BUT Jason, because she knows Jason needs to be treated like a wounded dog, not an angry one (she famously gives him the “are you serious right now” look every time he snaps at her. He always apologizes right after).

Cass, who finds Tim on his bathroom floor, passed out from exhaustion, and drags him to her room to sleep so she can keep an eye on him and make sure no one interrupts his sleep (she constantly sees how exhausted he is, pushing himself harder and harder to prove himself to Bruce instead of acknowledging how exceptional he already is).

Cass, who knows that Damian is still a kid, and routinely watches kid movies or plays with LEGOS just so he can join her without being embarrassed (she knows that there is nothing more humiliating to him than his desire to just be a kid.)

Cass, who has never been afraid of Damian, not once, even when he is swinging his sword at her and calling her cruel things (she knows he was never taught to be gentle — his words hurt her but knowing that his anger will linger his whole life hurts worse).

Cass, who taught Duke how to read people better when he first joined the family so he never felt less than or out of the loop (she sees the insecurity on him like a heart on his sleeve — he is not beautiful yet, but he could be.)

Cass, who uses her brothers as canvases to practice her makeup skills on. Cass, who gives her brother’s relationship advice but says it like it’s the most obvious answer in the world. Cass, who forces her brothers to dance with her at Galas because they should be having fun. Cass, who still doesn’t really understand the concept of birthdays, so every few months gets a gift for each of her brothers so she makes sure she never misses one. Cass, who knows everything about her brothers, down to how they are feeling at each exact moment. Cass, who can take down any one of her brothers in a fight and pushes them to be better heroes. Cass, who loves her brothers dearly and would do anything for them.

jason constantly thinks about how replaceable he is. and not because tim replaced him as robin, but because when jason died, the world didn't stop. it kept on moving. the earth spun and everyone moved on, but jason never could. not even after he came back to life. sure, he had a new life with the league, but everything he cared about moved on without him. they didn't need him.

when he wakes up in the middle of the night, clawing at his throat because he is suffocating in that coffin all over again, he reaches for his phone to call dick. but then he remembers he isn't fifteen anymore. he isn't dick's brother anymore, either.

relating dc characters to phoebe bridgers songs will kill me. anyway

“coming down” (unreleased) is roy harper’s song (i read so much about him yesterday and immediately thought of this song for him. i mean come on!! i can and will dissect all of the lyrics in relation to roy, his relationship with ollie, and his sobriety.)

“funeral” is dick grayson’s song about jason todd

“scott street” is jason todd’s song to bruce wayne

“graceland too” IS SO STEPHCASS

“motion sickness” is how dick feels about bruce at times.

“killer” IS SO STEPH

[voiddaisy]

im using this to add a few more:

“punisher” is tim, about how the hallways of the manor and those who came before him haunt him.

“sidelines” is so duke about bruce taking him & feeling alive & having a purpose again

“waiting room” is ALL of bruce’s kids and i feel so passionately about that (it’s especially damian’s

someone also reblogged and said “i know the end” is jason as he is dying and i sobbed

[deansxharley]

listen, i have no idea what’s currently canon in dc comics and i really don’t care to BUT regardless of what continuity we’re in, i think jason todd might be the funniest character of all time. just the biggest hypocrite ever and i’m obsessed. like, so many people have pointed out how crazy it is to be pissed off at tim for replacing him as robin when he literally replaced dick while dick was still alive, but then to go and parade around bludhaven as a murderous nightwing while dick is (again) very much still alive and THEN form a team with dick’s ex girlfriend and best friend??? jason todd is THE definition of “replacement” or what the fuck ever he calls tim and i actually find it so funny. stay crazy girl <3

[palistani]

im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary

[palistani]

palestinians deserve the right to be able to travel freely in our homeland. to even visit our homeland. for us to have citizenship and rights to our own country. to grow our plants. practice our religions. live without fear that our children can be kidnapped by israeli forces on their violent whims. to not have our life savings poured into building a home for our families that are torn down without real warning by israeli bulldozers. to no longer be refugees. like this is real life. this is real.

we don’t want to be reduced to a never ending slogan. we want to put down our need for resistance. to rest & to live.

[voiddaisy]

my dc/dceu hot take is that if cleo cazo (ratcatcher 2) met jason todd, they would be be friends. i mean cleo and bloodsport are really close, and that guy has killed like thousands of people, so i don’t think she would have any hang ups on jason’s… lifestyle. and cleo would see past jason todd’s backstory, see past red hood, and really treat jason like jason. jason todd needs someone who sees him for who he is instead of what he has done, and when he realizes cleo does that, he would be so immediately drawn to her. they would be best friends and i will not take criticism on that!!!!

[cicadaphilosopher]

Tim Drake and Damian Wayne are autistic I don't make the rules, except that I do, so here are what I think their special interests were/are

Tim's Special interest as a kid was The Batman and now his special interest is cold cases/technology

Damian Wayne's Special interests are Animals and Swords, by swords I mean there origins, historical relevance, how they are made, ect.

[frownyalfred]

Jason to Bruce privately in the Cave: “That was the stupidest decision I’ve ever seen you make. Do you really think they’re going to want to be your friends once they find out the truth? If you could unclench for ONE minute this all could’ve been avoided—”

Jason at the Justice League meeting on the Watchtower ten minutes later: “If anyone even LOOKS at Batman I’ll rip their throat out. None of you fuckers understand how many favors he’s doing your sorry asses. If you’re too stupid to listen to Batman, that’s your prerogative. He’s the only thing keeping this damn satellite in ORBIT—”

jason will protect bruce with his life & stick up for that man to god, but will also cuss bruce out for fucking up and i stand by that

[voiddaisy]

Do you think that when Jason Todd was dying, head bashed in as he waiting for the timer to reach zero, he prayed? And not to God — he stopped believing in a god years ago — but praying to Bruce. Praying in the hopes Bruce would hear and save him. Praying and crying out for Bruce to forgive him for making such a mistake. Praying that when he died, Bruce would mourn his death?

And when Jason came back from the dead, hoping his father avenged his death, he found out that Bruce didn’t kill the Joker for killing Jason. And Jason stopped believing in Bruce, too.
