RAHHHHH this has taken me a year of on and off work and I’m so happy it’s finally done I’m so proud of how it turned out <33

Have some Sladin to beat the January blues💙

Full version on Bluesky. Nothing is happening but the position is suggestive, so it got cropped for tumblr's delicate puritan ass eyes. Peeps who don't have a Bluesky, I couldn't post it on Aethy because the servers are down, sorry!

(Dick is over 18)

It's @dcdarkweek! 🖤 

Couldn't resist drawing more of my Teen Titans apprentice AU for the "Tattoo" prompt.

Prompts Are Open!

Haha, HI. I am in fact alive, and we are doing this thing.

Hello, everyone! It is officially time to start our preparation for SladeRobin week 2024. It will run October 21st-27th, with one Free Day, so we are looking for eighteen total prompts!

Please go ahead and send your suggestions in via an ask! Reminder that:

Prompts must be short. Either a single word, short phrase, or short sentence.

Prompts should be easily open to different interpretations by creators, providing a launching off point for stories/art, rather than a detailed guideline.

If we receive multiple prompts that are very similar but with different phrasing, we may consolidate them into one to avoid the risk of multiple days running on the same ideas. So if you don’t see your exact prompt when the poll goes up, but there is one close to it, that will be why.

Failure to work within these guidelines may result in your prompts being deleted.

Prompts will be open through August 11th (because I am a busy lady), whereupon we'll put together a poll and hopefully have that up the next day for voting.

Don’t forget to check out our Rules and About posts if you’re new here.

Thanks for reading, and we look forward to receiving your ideas!

(I will update all the blog info shortly; don't worry about it.)

Dick is seventeen and completely on his own, so he's doing what he can to keep himself alive. Even if, for now, that means selling his body. Even if that means letting some cruel men do some cruel things to him. Because at least that's the kind of shit that pays well.

He doesn't expect Slade Wilson to walk through the door.

Before reading the comics, thanks to sladixk fics, i genuinely thought that dick always lost to slade, now I know that most times when he's and adult he beats slade no problem but it got me wondering how you feel about this canon-fanon difference

OHH this is a good question!!

i think sometimes fanon makes Slade a little... too badass. i think something some fanon fans don't understand about Slade in the 80s/90s is that he was like... kind of a loser? like don't get me wrong he was a main villain of the Titans for a while and he was certainly meant to be a formidable villain but this reputation he has in fanon almost supersedes him. (for example with specific plots: the fandom interpretation of the Judas Contract is Slade as the mastermind, but the writers have said that Terra was supposed to be the big villain manipulating everything. which is a ridiculous thing to put on a teenage girl getting groomed but, it does depict the intention of who was supposed to be "at fault" in that story) and don't get me wrong, i definitely love playing up the reputation and aura Slade has, but he really is a general contract killer on the level of like, Deadshot. personally, i wouldn't even put him on Lady Shiva's level, i think she far outranks him.

and to be fair to some fanon, recent comics have... tried to badass-ify Slade. some of his more recent Deathstroke runs are really trying to put him as this guy with legions of men underneath him who's this *deadly* killer who can take on Batman and Superman and all the like. and i just find that... boring? like, do i enjoy him being a smarter-than-average villain with a lot of connections? yes. but i don't think anything in his backstory really lends him to being as formidable as he appears in some fanfiction that puts him on this untouchable level. i would personally go as far to say i think *most* of the Batfamily could beat him in a fight under the right circumstances. bc Slade really is just Some Guy who got a serum from the military and went AWOL. (there's certainly more to his backstory than that, but at a glance, he's really not a trained fighter from birth like other characters are) and whilst i do enjoy Slade being formidable i have to admit, it was sort of fun when he was a loser? and i've gotten a kick out of certain comics that point out he's only a terrifying villain when he's up against teenagers. (Ghost-Maker calling him out on that is one of the funniest things, to me) like could Slade give Batman a serious fight? sure, but i don't see him ever winning unless you *really* nerf Bruce. and i really don't see him ever winning against most of the Batkids once they've got some years under their belt. Slade's scare factor was always tapered by who he was against, and he was a *Teen Titans* villain. so he's a little ridiculous and sometimes just sort of a weird loser. and i say that affectionately.

furthermore, on the flipside, i think... sometimes, we woobify Dick a bit too much to my tastes. or, really any Robin who gets shipped with Slade but of course Dick is the standout in popularity and i find it's more prominent with him. it's really a general slash problem, in which one man must be the Strong Top and then other must be the Weak Bottom. and that manifests in Slade being physically larger than Dick (which in canon, ehhh i think the size difference would be largely negligible) and him being able to beat Dick. bc it makes for more fanfic scenarios where you can put Dick at Slade's mercy for porn, for angst, for whatever you'd like. Slade is a good pick if you want to really put Dick on the weaker side, bc you can play with healing factors and strength enhancements. so on a physical level, Slade will be stronger than Dick. does that mean Slade can beat Dick in a fight? historically, no. i mean, Slade trusted Dick to train his own daughter in the Renegade storyline, so i think this is a fact even Slade is aware of.

i don't think it's a bad thing fanfiction likes its big top/small bottom tropes. if you want to make Dick a submissive, pliant bottom who is going to lose in a fight to Slade for your dead dove porn, get it. i've probably written or will write the same. it's appealing and it's a very common trope for Dick. but it becoming the fandom norm does sort of nerf Dick, occasionally. i think some fans don't fully comprehend the actual level Dick is on, where he's very close to being an equal to Bruce, if not already Bruce's equal. in fandom Dick is sort of trapped in this "post-adolescence but not full adulthood" state that does not acknowledge he has been an adult running superhero teams for years. he was filling in for Bruce in the Batman mantle all the way back in the 90s. he can defeat villains like Slade, and usually without a lot of difficulty. to me the only time you can realistically make Dick lose and it be "in character" is either 1, to have Dick *very* early on in his Robin years (i think if he's past 16, he can beat Slade) or 2, very deeply wound Dick/have him in a psychologically altered state via drugs or something. otherwise yeah, i think Dick wins 99% of the time.

but fanfiction is fanfiction, and it doesn't *have* to be canon. esp if Dick losing to Slade is just a sexy prerequisite to porn. do i wish more fanon explored Slade as kind of a loser? absolutely. do i think Slade is *too* cool in most fanon? also absolutely. but those are my tastes and i don't begrudge anyone who just wants a strong, mean man to whump the shit out of their blorbos, which usually, is the purpose of Slade. i find most fanfic with Slade tends not to be exploring Slade's character. they're simply using him as an easy stand-in for a metahuman who's morally grey and very mean but has a nuanced history with Dick, or whoever else. which, very valid. not all fanfic needs to be a character study, but i do think it'd be cool to see more Slade-centric fics that *do* want to be character studies.

For Sladerobin Week 2024, Day 2: bickering while fucking

Slade gets hit with a magic truth bomb. Unfortunately, neither he nor Jason realize it until some unfortunate confessions are made.

“You've screwed with my operation enough, Red Hood!” The wizard shouts in a ridiculously overplayed voice. It's clearly meant to be his impression of deep and booming, but it comes off more like a bad attempt at opera. “This ends now! Face the truth of my might!” He throws the grenade at Jason, who quickly dodges out of the way, but fuck. It has some kind of magical heat-sink in it because it instantly adapts and veers its trajectory to follow. Slade is already diving forward. His reflexes are fast enough that he's able to detonate the grenade midair with a shot from his sidearm. His enhanced healing and his Ikon suit can take on the resulting shrapnel without any lasting impact.

Couldn’t get the idea of Slade watching Robin on his screens outta my head hhmfmfghfg obsessed

(Censored) Penis out version below.

I posted the uncensored version on r34 but it needs to be approved by mods before it’s publicly visible so I’ll just put the link in the replies when it’s approved.

Also some alt versions without background lineart since I think it looks cool

Late entry for SladeRobin Weekend 2023 Day 1: Secret Relationship | Bio-Father Slade Wilson | Drugged

[everydarkcorner]

And that's Bad Things Happen Bingo complete!

Hand Stomp

The springs in Robin’s cot squeal when he turns over, wriggling to find a position where the lumpy mattress is some way comfortable.

                He still ached from the fight with Cinderblock, muscles stiffening, bruises spreading.  Worse was the bruise to his pride—a bruise he poked every time he glimpsed his reflection in Slade’s uniform.  A bruise that ached deep in his chest when he looked up at the screens showing a constant feed of the nanobots rushing through his friends’ bloodstreams.

                It was too loud in this damn place.  Not in the way Titan’s Tower was loud, with chatter and bickering and pounding footsteps and the electronic trill of video games, but a low, grating mechanical white noise.  Humming computers and the whir and clank of Sladebots and those fucking gears, forever grinding away high in the ceiling.  Robin could hear them even in this little cupboard of a room, groaning and scraping together.

                He was never going to fall asleep here.  Not if Slade kept him for a hundred years.

Hello everyone!

I'm posting today to let you all know that I have decided, after looking at everything going on in my life, to skip this year's week. I'd debated just pushing it back, but honestly I don't think I'm going to have the time to give you guys my proper attention this year.

(For a snapshot, I have: gotten engaged, am currently anticipating a potential legal fight with landlords and therefore am not positive when or if I will need to move, the company my fiance works at is teetering on the edge of going out of business, and the holiday season is upon me at work.)

We WILL be back for our mini event in May next year, so expect to hear from me sometime in February-ish to start polling for prompts and to nail down the exact dates.

Thank you all for being excellent people with very good taste, and remember that you are always free to use any of the prompts from our previous events if you want some inspiration in the meantime. 💜

Dick has been under the care of Lord Slade Wilson since he was eleven years old, since Bruce lost the war and Dick was taken as a hostage to keep his family and their allies in line.

For the most part, he’s been left alone. He only ever sees Slade during meals, his education and training left to various tutors. It suits him fine—he'd rather not spend time with the man who is barely more than his captor if he can help it. But it seems reaching his eighteenth birthday has changed the game, and Dick can't tell if it's for the better or not.

Chapter 2 now posted!

WIP game ♡

rules: you will be given a word. share one sentence / excerpt from your wip(s) that start with each letter of that word.

tagged by the lovely @disniq (coughs ages ago coughs) thank you bb i love these!! this was actually really hard to do tho, holy moly

word: CAPE

C

from sladedaddy x sugarjayby, my jayde wip for sladerobin week that is not getting done in time 😭 (i'd add more but the rest is in bullet points 🤣):

"C3-C4," Deathstroke manages to say before passing out.

A

from chokehold, aka the wip where khoa and jason are fuck"buddies" because they both have the hots for bruce:

After he'd seen Batman and decided to strap a bomb under his car, to finally be rid of the man who'd haunted him since he could think past green. Bruce had been a ghost hanging over his head, choking him with his presence, the miasma seeping into his pores. Ghostmaker had been a revelation. Jason knows death intimately, and although she is the closest thing he's ever come to being at peace, he's never welcomed her with open arms. If it were up to him, they wouldn't meet for a long, long time. She'd come to him again that night at Ghostmaker's behest, with all the hits that met their mark and the single, beautiful slide of a blade through flesh and bone. It had been brutal and obscene, the ease of which he tore into a boy half his age like it was a game. Jason wasn't innocent anymore; he had blood on his hands through no one's choice but his own, and yet he knew Ghostmaker was dripping with it, savoring its taste, not drowning in it like he was.

P

LMAO this is actually from the same sugaring fic that above C excerpt is from:

"Please. I think you know I'm not just any 'boy', Wilson." He stresses Deathstroke's name in blatant challenge. Slade just narrows his gaze at Jason. Then: "The Bat's second bird," he says flatly. His grip tightens around Jason's throat; Jason gasps in pain before his air is cut off completely. There's a glint in Slade's expression that's almost curious. "I heard the clown killed him." But Jason couldn't answer the question even if he wanted to, red-faced with wide, watering eyes… and hard and aching in his pants.

E

from bruised and bloodied chapter 5, which hopefully i'll update soon:

Everything from Roman taking out one of the Gotham underworld's boogeymen to the fact that he'd hired Deathstroke to do it—to the fact that Slade is training Jason—it sounds like some kind of twisted, fucked up fairytale. Everyone knows how this story ends: with Little Red Riding Hood taking step after step into the wolf's maw herself. Jason remembers the weight of the gun in his hands earlier, the force of its recoil and the deafening sound it had made in his ears. He wonders if that's enough to get out of Roman's grasp, or if he'll need some huntsman to save him; he worries about whether anyone even can save him, be it Nightwing or Slade or even Batman himself. He thinks of Gloria and figures it could be worth dying to try.
