OOOOH can i ask about your Bludhaven geographical headcanons and place name fantasies??

HELLO!!! 🫶 I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get to responding to this, but in my defense I've either been in the woods no service or frantically finishing finals since the last time I answered asks 💀 but for your patience I offer you a paragraph from a potential dickie doorverse fic in the distant future:

[stephexmachina]

I can’t super think of any very meaningful Steph and Duke interactions. As the resident Steph expert, would you be able to help me out get a pulse on their dynamic?

The tragedy of this question is that there really aren't any. Steph was erased from continuity for much of N52, and while she was reintroduced around the same time Duke made his early appearances, they haven't majorly interacted in the entire decade since. Sigh.

They do have an established friendship in Infinite Frontier at least!! @a-bad-case-of-the-stephs (absolutely the real Steph expert here, everyone go follow her 🙏) very helpfully mentioned reading Steph and Duke playing mini golf together in one issue, and after a little bit of detective work I tracked it down to Urban Legends #3!! Steph, Duke, and Cass seem to have formed a little friendship trio. A cute idea, but it's not touched upon in any depth, and most of it seems to have happened off-panel.

It's a shame that DC seems intent on sidelining them both, because I can see their dynamic being super compelling!! Both are intensely driven people, both have been shaped by turbulent living situations, both had unconventional Robin runs that other Robins have tried to discredit—plus both are older sibling figures to Damian and have a close bond with Cassandra. So much potential there!! But alas. 😔

Overall their canon dynamic seems to be that of friends who hang out outside of vigilante work, presumably having become acquainted through Cass!! But there's nothing particularly remarkable about their relationship, and the details have been largely left unexplored.

I'm far from an expert on post-flashpoint events, though, so if any Rebirth experts have corrections or additions, they're welcome to take the floor!!

Roy wakes with a gasp, and he's half out of the bed before he remembers. (save me from myself, don't let me drown | dickroy)

The Titans latest battle is finally winding down, Donna and Kory tag teaming the exhausted monster of the week. (pseudocreobotra wahlbergi | gen: implied dickroy)

It's a rare day off for the Titans, most of them have taken advantage of the nice weather and are nowhere to be seen. (in the wink of a young girl's eye | gen: dick, roy, & lian)

Dick knows that Bruce is aware something is wrong, he's asked him four times this week already, if Dick is sure he wants to go camping with Green Arrow. (i'm trying to be cool about it | gen: dick)

Seeing her standing over their daughter's crib—one deadly hand caressing Lian's baby soft hair, with a gentleness that could make anyone forget the danger that being so close to her razor sharp nails poses—he feels the same rush he felt in Japan, that same flutter in his stomach at her beauty and power. (One Foot Out the Door (Before We Even Start | jaderoy, donnaroy, dickroy) NSFW

The closer Cass gets to home, the lighter she feels as she gets closer to the promise of food, the missed episodes of her favorite shows, and the oversized sweatshirt she stole from Dick's apartment last year—things that a few years ago she never would have considered important. (i'm so full of love i could barely eat | stephcass) NSFW

It was supposed to be a quick reconnaissance mission, a quick flyover in response to chatter on the internet; chatter that Dick thought could indicate that the Church of Blood had a base somewhere in southern Greenland. (i wanna feel you from the inside | dickroy) NSFW

"If you do that again, I'll throw you out that fucking window." (deaf, dumb, thirty, starting to deserve this | dickroy) NSFW

When Dick was nine he was punched in the face for the first time. (some have gone and some remain | gen: dick)

The sky opens up as they're leaving the coffee shop, Stephanie's holding the door open as Tam slides her other arm through her jacket sleeve. (so slow down, sit down, it's new | stephtam) NSFW

L and Z!!!

L - Your favourite fan artist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for?

i said azdick for a different ask & that is TRUE. however!! i would also kill to see more batgirl costume redesigns for steph. i don't love the babsgirl carbon copy vibe from 2009 (where's her individuality????) & i hate her current design with the muzzle & hood, so it would be such a dream to go "show me a stephgirl design that feels unique & meaningful the way the spoiler suit did" & see what they make of it!!

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go!

lately i CANNOT stop thinking that in a no capes au jpv would be a prosecutor nicknamed the Punishing Angel for his flawless track record & air of ruthless, almost divine competence. only the instant he exits the courtroom he deflates into this awkward, soft-spoken limp noodle of a man, & when people ask him how he does what he does he's like "um. well. im not entirely sure."
