Planting dickroy seeds, a true calling 🙏.

Outsiders Annual

[tiger-in-the-flightdeck]

OT3???? 👀👀👀 IN DC ONLY!!

I have... I have so many.

In no particular order:

JoyFire, aka Jason Todd and his emotional support redheads

Specifically from Tynion's run on Outlaws. I just love Roy being so open and vulnerable with these two people who he loves more than anything. Being open and vulnerable about these two. And it isn't Blink And You'll Miss It kind of stuff, either.

The entire initial Outlaws series is about three people who need each other and openly love each other.

And one horny sub who desperately wants to get tag teamed by the other two.

Young Just Us Boys aka Team Mom/Team Dad/Team Baby

While I ship KonBart and TimKon a bit more than the three of them, these boys are a set, and they should not be separated. Just like... For everyone's well being, to be honest. I also HC Bart as Ace, so I see it as Tim and Conner making out on the couch while Bart plays video games until they're ready for snuggle time and snacks.

Conner is Team Mom, if that wasn't obvious

Challengers From Beyond, aka Donna Troy and the pain in the ass adventure with her ex-boyfriend and her best friend's baby brother who seriously just need to fuck and get it over with already

Animosity breeds sexual tension. Jason and Kyle are like one snarky comment away from making out against a grubby alley wall, and Donna is the only thing keeping them moving in vaguely the right direction.

Plus, they're pretty.

Batgirls aka Black, Blue, and Purple aka We Don't Need No Boys

Cass Cain, Harper Row, and Steph Brown. They are another group who are definitely a set who should not be separated. They don't get nearly enough love, and I'm surprised Harper wasn't included in the Batgirls comic.

Plus look at how good Steph would look with her dapper, tuxedo wearing girlfriends!

The octospouses and their computer :]

I thought I was clever giving them extra arms to help around the lab but drawing tentacles… help me. PAMA being a fish notorious for knocking fisherman out of boats (arapaima) is funny to me… and the bonus pun of araPAMA. :] Also, if anyone else wants to use the Mercraft Fish Mode tag, feel free!

🐟 Bonus Fish Fact: The blue-ringed octopus is extremely venomous.

[dol-dee]

So... you imagine DoL set in the early 2000s? ME TOO. Tell me more about that!

aaaaaaa yes I do!!!! (Sorry for the late reply haha. I kept forgetting to come back to this ask) I think I started to feel that way pretty early on, since there's hardly any electronics around in game.

You don't have access to a phone yourself (which, admittedly makes sense as an orphan) but electronics get barely mentioned in general. (I'm guessing the true reason for it, is that it would be too much of a hassle to implement electronics as a mechanic in game. bc arguably you should easily be able to buy a phone or w/e later on, if dol actually took place in our time) Named npcs often have phones to record you with (which I kinda forgot about tbh lmao) but unless in that context, phones don't get brought up at all iirc. None of the named npcs ever ask you for your phone number and Social media isn't really a topic of conversation either.

The only Computers that I remember mentioned in game are Leightons, Mickey's, Kylars and the one you can check in the police station. (I don't remember if Bailey even has one or not.) They are far and few between. They also all read as desktop computers to me and not laptops. Hell, the only gaming Console to ever be a topic of interest, is Robins. I don't think we hear of/see any handheld conosles at all. Even TV's rarely get mentioned.

Pop Culture, like manga, anime and games doesn't seem to be a big thing yet either.

All of that gives me the impression that most electronic is still pretty sparse and hard to come around and kinda reminds me of my childhood when those interests where still conisdered niche/nerdy and weird. The few characters that have desktop pc's seem to be ones that had/have enough money (like Kylar, maybe Bailey?) to foot the bill, are either in a high enough position of power to own one (like leighton) or they're involved enough in shady business that they might have the resources to have their own equipment (Mickey).

tbf a lot of my reasoning can be argued against or easily explained away, but I think dol is infinitely more interesting as a game/story when it's set during the early/mid 2000s, where most electronics were still hard to come by.

Oh and last but not least: it simply makes for easier story telling haha. I think there would be way more ""plot holes"" you'd have trouble explaining away if it was set during modern times. considering how much digital surveilance we have nowadays.

Aside from all the examples I just brought up, dol just has that 2000s grime to me. It's so grungy and dank in it's vibes that it always reminds me of that timeframe. Just has that kinda clunky/kitschy charm to it. (a more eclectic personal explanation is that the seasons in game still feel the way I remember them for my childhood. nowadays everything feels really out of wack thanks to global warming. Although I'm sure that people who are older than me would say the same haha)

to keep this already long post short(er lmao) I'm gonna go into some headcanons under the cut; Basically which Characters have electronics and why:

Avery: has an expensive af and extremely clunky looking (by todays standards) work laptop, that she sometimes lugs around. Also owned one of the first mobile phones. Those really big and blocky ones. Maybe even had one of those phones that were built into cars. However, I think shed be kinda annoyed by mobile phones*, even if she's extremely diligent in answering her calls. (the grind never stops) *based on this comic from 1919 about pocketphones: Mostly because she strikes me as someone who doesn't care to be overly accessible and also hates it when whatever shes doing at the moment gets disrupted by something else.

Alex: Canonically has a phone in game. To me it's a landline phone. They don't own much electronics beside it. They have no desktop pc and no mobile phone. (canonically the own a tv and I feel like they'd have a radio, maybe even an old record player) Bailey: It would make sense for them to have a desktop computer but I can't remember if they canonically (and with that I mean in game) do have one or not. I could see it either way tbh. As they strike me as a stubborn hard ass whos paranoid about electronics and quickly gets annoyed by it) They only own burner phones aside from the official landline phone thats designated for "over the counter" orphanage business. Eden: Has an old ass radio and an extremely dusty burner phone that bailey gave them once. They don't own anything else

Harper: has a mobile phone they got from Remy, it's purely for business. I don't think they have one for personal business. They own a pager though bc of the hospital. They probably have a desktop pc too if only for hospital stuff.

Kylar: Has a Desktop pc, their parents footed the bill for that many screened monstrosity (tbf i dont know enough to remember if old pcs are even able to have several monitors connected to them or not). Probably had a mobile phone once. Whitney stole it. They own a few consoles but they prefer pc gaming (pc master race /j) Some 2000s era games (with no consideration for an exact timeframe) that I think Kylar would be into are : Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines American McGee's Alice Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 / Persona 3 Portable The Urbz: Sims in the City The Sims 2 The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Robin: No mobile phone, the only electronics they keep around (until they inevitably need to sell them for emergency money) are an old tv and a gaming console. I have no concrete headcanons regarding the exact console and games unfortunately. (They seem to like superhero related stuff and I don't remember enough games that I associate with that direction of the top of my head)

Sydney: Has access to a landline phone but thats it. they don't have a mobile phone. Maybe they got to look at/ try out a pc at Kylars house once upon a time, but I don't think Sirris has one themself. I might be off with this but I could see Sirris being the one who bought a few early nintendo consoles like the SNES and Game Cube. Maybe even a gameboy.

Whitney: I don't think Whitney or their family is particularly wealthy so all of the access to electronics that they got, is either through wealthier friends, bullying or stealing. They have a mobile phone and probably a few handheld consoles they nabbed off their victims (in secret).

[teethingphase]

thank you so much for evil milf bailey genuinely peak. do you have a design in mind for harper?

my mind's harper is like a short FMA Shou Tucker (with a pathetic cute miniature dick) who is so insecure about himself that he can't initiate intimacy without the use of drugs or hypnosis in fear of rejection...

but hot sexy crazy doctor did also popped in mind, the type that gives evil vaccines or smthn

Hey hi you have piqued my interest and I would love to hear your thoughts on Jason and Roy's interaction in New Titans #20-21 :)

OKAY OKAY OKAY!!! SO THOSE ISSUES ARE SO SO SO IMPORTANT TO ME BC THEY SET THE FOUNDATION OF JASON'S RELATIONSHIP WITH AUTHORITY HERO FIGURES AND. ROY IS PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY POSITIVE ONE

Sorry for rambling about more than just Roy and Jason but I had to set a foundation for my points.

The only three people who actually speak to Jason at any point for more than a single line in those issues are Donna, Hank, and Roy.

Donna, as is plainly stated in the text, is not actually talking to Jason, but to Robin, and she expects him to act exactly like Dick Grayson does.

In the beginning of the story, this isn't particularly an issue, since Jason is very excited to be included and Donna isn't actually putting any kind of pressure on him. HOWEVER, as issue #20 progresses, it becomes really, really serious. Particularly in this scene:

Donna, who up until this point Jason generally worshipped in that way children always do, just showed him she's not only capable of extreme violence against her teammates, but also willing to completely leave the people depending on her behind. (I may not be the biggest Donna lorehead but I'm pretty sure this isn't something she does often. It is, however, what Jason sees her doing, and that's important.)

Jason, kindhearted, boneheaded Jason, immediately calls her out on this. He trusts that Donna is a capable and trustworthy hero and team leader, but the image of a perfect heroine has been broken.

Donna puts almost the... complete opposite kind of pressure on Jason that Bruce does. Bruce has trained Jason to obey, and to try and force him into a leadership role while three of your teammates are literally unconscious is, to say the least, stress-inducing to a little kid.

(oops, the Donna part got long. I have a lot of feelings about them, okay?)

The second person who interacts with Jason in those issues is Hank, who is, you know. Hank.

The first thing he says to Jason is mocking his age, which Jason seems to be pretty self-aware of in a negative way, being the only child in a group of 20-something-year-olds.

Then, he actively stops Jason from joining a fight and doing his part as a Titan:

It's the polar opposite of how Donna treats Jason in this issue. Hank sees Jason as incapable and unfit for being a Titan. It's both demotivating and incredibly insulting, especially when Jason was trying to do the right thing.

So we're 0 for 2 for grown-up superheroes being dicks to Jason.

Enter Roy Harper, stage left.

Roy is the only member of the team to both acknowledge Jason as a teammate and still speak to him like the child he is without being patronizing or mocking, despite his conflicting and complicated emotions on the mission they're going to, because Cheshire. He keeps himself friendly and inviting to Jason, forces himself to joke around, because Jason is a child who shouldn't be responsible for Roy's Whole Ordeal.

He actively humors Jason's worship and wonder of superheroes, but still jokes around with him like Jason is an equal and not a kid he's babysitting.

He offers Jason company and empathy, and encourages him to share his view of the situation, once again treating Jason as a team member worthy of being listened to, but not particularly of being in charge of anything. Jason, for his part, pays attention to what's happening with Roy, and expresses concern over what Roy's feelings on the situation might be.

(long pause to admire how beautiful Jade looks in this story. anyway)

This scene is also really important, I think. Not only for the obvious reasons of Lian Being Revealed, but because even though Roy is reeling from the knowledge that he has a child, he still has space in his thoughts to care about Jason and want him safe. Even though Jason's attempt to lighten the mood was... less than optimal. Lol. I love him so much

Jason is there for what some may argue is the biggest part of Roy's development as a character, and even though he's secondary to everything that's happening, Roy still considers Jason an important part of the situation. He still takes Jason into account, despite desperately wanting answers from Jade.

I have nothing to say about those panels but look at them. my babies. jason is so so worried. his new friend is not ok and he cant help :(

TLDR: Jason's interactions with most adult heroes are.. pretty bad, (Not all. Shoutout to my men Joey Wilson and Garfield Logan,) but Roy is a major exception to that rule. He's compassionate and funny and a hurricane of emotions, and he's the first adult outside of Batman and Nightwing to canonically show Jason a little bit of kindness. While not in any way backed by canon, I do think that Jason's interactions with Roy filled him with determination to be a good hero and earn other people's trust. Those two issues have very small interactions, but I do believe they're some of the most important pieces of original Robin Jason content, largely due to Roy's presence.

In preparation for DickRoy challenges I would like to humbly ask for comic recs to read so I know more about their relationship. Pivotal moments? Most feels. That kind of stuff. Sorry if you’ve already listed this, couldn’t find it in ur blog!

Someone else actually made a dickroy reading list back in like 2018, so I'll list their post. However, it's not up to date with more recent comics. But. I'll list newer ones from what I can remember off the top of my head.

Nightwing (Vol. 4) #43

World's Finest: Teen Titans

Green Arrow (Vol. 7) #14

Uhhh. I mean. Dick and Roy are both in Titans 2016 (Roy's there until #22 and Dick's there until #27) and Titans 2023 (Roy doesn't join until #16 though). But like. Don't bother with them unless you really want to.

"Hey" says a teenager in a black hoodie, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, startling Leonidas, he is fully covered without a bit of skin showing and big circular glasses

The only visible part of him are his eyes, the "whites" are completely yellow

"Youre magic righ7?"

( @graffiti-translator )

"... I mean, I am indeed a magic user but I am not really in the mood for this." She replied as she looked at him carefully.

"And I can tell you were looking for Leonidas, not for me, and I right?" Aemie sighed

Harper expected to open her eyes and see the bland, monochromatic office of her temporary work home. Six months of working in the States on a temporary contract had been a great way to extent her career despite missing Daehyun terribly, but gave him a chance to complete the difficult case he'd taken on without her hovering.

The excitement came rushing back when she opened her eyes to the familiar view of her boyfriend working through his files; her little naps during her lunch break in his office had always been a source of comfort for her. Despite still feeling a little sleepy, she smiled and lazily walked to where he sat at his desk and plopped herself in his lap.

"I missed this," she mumbled as she nuzzled her face in to his neck. "Six months was too long." Not even their hour long face time conversations every night were enough to fill that void inside of her. "Oppa. I'd rather quit my job than leave on another little contract like that again. I can't believe they talked me in to it. I'm happier here with you -- mother and father wondered why I wasn't so perky when I stayed with them, too. You're my family, now."

@dencesin // are we surprised it's Harper (it's been a moment forgive the length)

💚 Memori

Aaaaand the last prompt, right as the year comes to an end! My 100th published fic, for The 100 :P

—

DAY ONE.

“Oh, float me now,” John gagged. “That tasted even worse than I expected, Green.”

He put down his bowl of algae and choked down a wave of nausea. As he looked around, seeing all their expectant faces, he felt himself begin to stumble, out of breath, his vision turning dark, as if the lights had been deemed.

He reached out to knock out Emori’s bowl down. “Don’t- don’t drink-“

“Murphy?” he heard.

“John? John!”

“Oh shit.”

“John? What’s happening? What did you do?!”

He didn’t faint immediately. For what felt like long minutes, John was convinced he was in agony. Set to die in the same wretched place he’d been born, leaving Emori alone amidst its grey walls.

A poor joke, after everything else his short life had thrown at him.

read the rest in ao3.

if people on youtube could stop being annoying over the fact that my icon is homestuck for long enough to read how old the comment is that they're replying to that would be great.

i'm so fucking tired of this
