Video evidence that Mark and Fraser totally did it. No other explanation for those looks. You can't convince me otherwise.
Song: Would You? By Touch & Go mixed with some voice clips
HOCKEY ROMANCE. It was the 90s and Due South was doing Hockey Romance.
(because come on Constable Benton Fraser is heart eyed and very thirsty.)
OMG, they totally did it! My innocent little brain did not pick up on that the first watching. 
"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."
Last year I finally had an excuse to illustrate this simple little Tumblr story I've had bookmarked forever for class.
I hope you like it :]
After watching the new Superman 2025 this has been floating in my mindspace and needed to be drawn. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ♡♡♡ Muy Blorbos

Superman 2025 was fantastic. I enjoyed literally every moment of it. Have some Robins instead.
Once again, I could not resist the calls of sibling dynamics

So You Want To Read Batman Comics But Have No Idea Where To Start
So: you’re new to the DC Comics fandom and are interested in Batman and his family. Maybe you already know a bit about them and are just looking to figure out where to start reading actual comics. Maybe you know nothing. Maybe you know a whole lot about one character but want to start reading more about another one.
Whichever it is, I’m here to help! There’s a wide range of Batman/Batfamily comics (for all ages, moods, and types of people), and I’m happy to meet people where they are and help people dive into comics. On that note, brace yourselves, because this is going to be a long post. Recs start under the cut.
—IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT READING COMICS—
Superhero comics are traditionally written in what’s known as runs; an author gets to have an extended period on an ongoing (or limited) title where they (traditionally) write in 4-8 issue story arcs; think of these arcs as chapters in a potentially never-ending book. These individual issues are colloquially known as floppies. So when I talk about “Tom Taylor’s run” on the Nightwing title, for example, I’m talking about the main author on the Nightwing title from March 2021-September 2024 (Nightwing (2016) #78-118). Every so often, titles end, the principal author on the titles switch up, or they’ll have “guest/interim authors” come in to do single issues or a single story arc.
These story arcs are then collected in hardcovers or ‘trade paperbacks’ (generally referred to as trades, occasionally TPBs); both collect the entire story arc (plus bonus/behind the scenes material, in some cases) in a single paperback/hardback book. Trades are super useful if you want to read an entire story at one time, want to be economical about your comics spending, and/or want to read things in order. Occasionally, if a writer has a particularly long run on a title or a big company event happens, you get published omnibuses that collect an entire event or run (or part of it, if the event is big enough); omnis are very expensive up-front, but ultimately they tend to be good deals and are often curated well. These collections are all generally also released digitally. Frankly, unless you’re into comics collecting, want individual issues for their pretty covers, or are supporting a currently ongoing run, I would default to buying trades/omnibuses where possible. It’s simply cheaper and easier for reading.
List Notes: Each character list is sorted vaguely chronologically according to a combination of IRL publication dates and the character’s personal timeline. Big caveat that these are not all-inclusive reading lists nor are the inclusions inherently indicators of quality; I’m just trying to hit major character highlights. You should also note that many comics contain multiple Batfam members due to the ridiculous number of crossover events and the solid integration of the Batfamily as a whole into each others’ books in the post-90s era. Comic rec tl;drs are given at the end of each character’s list. Most of the links will take you to Amazon/Comixology, but I also talk about various ways to access and read comics at the bottom of this post.
Secondary Note: DC Comics works in three universes: the pre-Crisis universe (everything published from the beginning of DC Comics until the Crisis on Infinite Earths event in 1986), the post-Crisis universe (everything published between 1986 and 2011), and the post-Flashpoint universe (2011-now).
In 2011, DC completely rebooted their universe following the ‘Flashpoint’ event. This new universe (interchangably called the New 52 universe, post-Flashpoint universe, or Prime Earth) drastically changed many characters’ histories, personalities, and relationships with each other (sometimes for the better, most of the time for the worse). The early years of the post-Flashpoint universe are an absolute incoherent mess continuity-wise; DC’s been trying to sort it all out over the past few years with the Rebirth and Infinite Frontier events (with varying degrees of success), and there are definitely some bright bits and pieces, but it is not my favored universe (though I will certainly recommend it where needed or when it’s good).
Now: let’s get started, shall we? Lists below the cut (please click here to view the most updated version of this post on desktop via my blog instead of on mobile/the dashboard, for easy readability and formatting purposes):

I was just thinking about getting back into comic reading, lol 
Boimler's breakdown at the recruitment stand
I'm having feelings about this again. He repeatedly failed what is arguably the easiest test in the Federation. You just have to be willing to let people die and prove that you're still going to function as a captain on a bad day. HE FAILED IT SEVENTEEN TIMES. THAT IS SEVENTEEN MORE TIMES THAN THE I, EXCRETUS TEST. LOWER DECKS MADE A SECOND PROTAGONIST WHO WOULD RATHER GIVE UP HIS AMBITIONS THAN TO GIVE UP ON PEOPLE.
Gotta love Boims. He’s a neurotic mess, but he cares, very deeply. He believes in Starfleet’s ideals. But he believes in people more.
All the power to all the people. Seriously though, Boimler is awesome. 
OK, so I have not been watching the Andor show. I know there’s some sort of big new character relationship development that everyone feels cancels out him with Jyn, but I feel like their relationship really made this movie. 
Might be the greatest Hunger Games edit I’ve ever seen omg
Ohhh, very creepy

I feel old, I remember reading this when it was first posted. I think it was on livejournal. 
Love local coffee shops. your “refugees are welcome here” sign goes really well with the one that says “bathrooms are for paying customers only”
You’ve clearly never had to deal with people doing hard drugs in the grocery store bathroom and it shows.
Bro I literally manage a coffee shop with an open restroom policy, and I prioritize enforcing that policy and making sure everyone feels comfortable. I’ve dealt with everything from the easy end of the spectrum (people quietly doing hard drugs) to a lady ripping all her hair out and setting it on fire in the sink. I clean up after this stuff day after day and I still feel VERY strongly about the fact that human beings should be allowed the basic decency of a place to poop. Yes, I very frequently end up having to kick someone out of the bathroom for doing drugs, and when I do I always offer them a cup of water on their way out. Because they’re a person and I give a shit…
It’s safer for people to do drugs in (clean) public restrooms than it is for them to do it on the street. It’s also ableist to deny someone the use of a bathroom. There are countless gastrointestinal disorders that cause bathroom urgency and potential incontinence. There are other conditions, like pregnancy, that necessitate quick and easy access to restrooms.
also what makes you think a paying customer wouldnt misuse the toilets in some way, and a person using it without buying something would?
contrary to popular beliefs people with money do drugs, and homeless people need the toilet just like the rest of us
Having a sharps container “for medication injection” in our bathrooms has dropped the amount of needles I find in the bushes and planters down to a whole 2 in the past 4 years since we rolled them out. I used to find them so often I got in the habit of wearing cut resistance gloves in 90 degree weather in case I had to pluck napkins out of the landscaping.
I read a lot of the notes and I really can’t say enough how the “you couldn’t pay me to clean up other people’s shit” comments kinda piss me off. It is not that serious, it’s really not. You dump a bunch of Triade III on it, let it sit for 10 minutes, wipe it up.
If it’s watery you throw absorbent on it like you do throw up, we use a kitty-litter type clay based absorbent. You put a trash bag in the dust pan and sweep it all into the bag.
Takes me 15 minutes to clean an absolutely destroyed bathroom stall in a place that sees THOUSANDS of people daily. It’s a shopping and restaurant area that opens up into a nightlife location after 5pm, with some bars opening at 3pm and several restaurants becoming full nightclubs after 9pm. You pay for parking, but anyone can walk in off the sidewalk and not pay a dime and just hang out until 2am.
On a busy night I cover 3 location’s restrooms (2 venues have multiple rr) but on slow days I’m covering around 7. 7 buildings, thousands of drunks, I get a LOT of bio spills.
Our sharps containers are toolbox-looking things that hang on the wall with a flap that allows things to go in but not come out, ever (rip to like 5 phones that I know of), when full it gets closed, locked, and sent to be incinerated. I literally never touch a needle anymore. If I find one on the ground outside we have sharps shuttles which are long plastic tubes that look like giant tampons with a flip top, you put it on the ground, step on it to hold in place, and sweep the sharp into it. Takes like 20 seconds.
The answer to this entire issue is to TREAT SANITATION WORKERS BETTER not make going to the bathroom a fucking ordeal. Pay me I will clean your bathrooms, let homeless people piss with dignity!!!
Harm Reduction. Works.
I can finally unveil this personal project! My comic version of chapter one of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, which I finally managed to get to shortly after SOTR came out. This was a unique project for me that I've been working on, on and off, for the past year or so. Lots and lots of fun, although I did mess up in some parts (typesetting :') ) and the limited color pallette was a unique challenge. Rest of the chapter under the cut! Hope you enjoy :)
this is so cool!!!!!!
What an a amazing project! 🤩
"What's the point of Tim Drake? There's nothing he brings to the table that the other Batfamily members don't have" buddy, I don't know how to help you understand that 7/8ths of those other people WOULDN'T BE THERE if it weren't for Tim Drake
the thing about Tim is that he, more than any other Batfamily character (except MAYBE Dick), is responsible for helping create the 'Batfamily' as a concept. Dick as Nightwing was basically completely on his own, and Jason as Robin rarely interacted with anyone outside of Bruce & occasionally the Titans.
Post-Jason's death/pre-Tim, Babs was Oracle but didn't work with Batman (she was introduced as Oracle through her work with the Suicide Squad and then with the Birds of Prey; reintegrating her into the Batman books happened a bit later) & Dick was, again, a solo hero. 1988-1989 is really the only time when you can truly say Batman was a solo hero. It's only when Tim becomes Robin that it stops being "Batman the solo hero" and even just "Batman and Robin" and the "Batfamily" starts actually being a thing.
And because of the way that Tim was introduced, a large part of that is directly because of Tim. Tim sought Dick out, for example, and their developing relationship was honestly a big catalyst to helping Dick and Bruce get back on good terms with each other (this was after the retcon that Dick became Nightwing because Bruce fired him from being Robin):
Tim's function as a character has ended up being the person who helped Bruce build a network of people, both his kids and other Gotham-based vigilantes, that he could rely on outside of himself. Of the Batfam, Tim is second only to Dick in how many heroes he's connected to and works with. He led Young Justice and his generation of the Teen Titans, he's worked with Justice League members independently on several occasions, and he cultivated several relationships with independent heroes (both in and outside of Gotham). Tim literally knows everyone.
Steph definitely never would have been Robin OR Batgirl if she hadn't met Tim and had him vouch for her on multiple occasions; so much of her early narrative arc is (for better and for worse) wrapped up in how she and Tim interacted with each other. I'd like to think that Bruce would take Cass in independently of any beliefs he had about his parenting abilities, but Tim's presence gave him the confidence he needed to be okay with doing that again. Tim wasn't his kid, but he still convinced Bruce he could be a parent again.
So many members of the Batfam (like...at least 4) exist and/or are on good terms with Bruce either because they came into the family through Tim or are connected to the family because of Tim changing Bruce's mind on Batman working with partners and Bruce taking in children in need. Tim helped bring Dick back into the family, was the first person to accept Helena as a hero, helped set the stage for Cass's introduction, was the vehicle through which Steph became part of the Batfam at all, and helped Bruce get to a point where he didn't summarily dismiss Damian out of hand when he was introduced.
Like...Tim is the living embodiment of the stubborn refusal to accept the concept of Batman as a loner hero. In many ways, Tim is the glue that holds the Batfam together (not Dick, as stereotypically thought, or Bruce himself).
Anyway IN CONCLUSION:
The reason Cass is able to say that the Batfam is a family and not just a team by the time Jason is resurrected and Damian is introduced in 2005/2006 is because of Tim. If it weren't for Tim, the Batfamily wouldn't exist, and people need to start acknowledging that
Tim’s still my fav 🥰
top 20 favourite book-only asoiaf characters (as voted by our followers) ⤷ #5. satin
Satin, they called him, even in the wool and mail and boiled leather of the Night's Watch; the name he'd gotten in the brothel where he'd been born and raised. He was pretty as a girl with his dark eyes, soft skin, and raven's ringlets.
Tim-o-tay is how I pictured him
