*headcanons your ‘hyper-sexualized by the fandom’ character as asexual*

[voiddaisy]

every time i consume new nightwing media a year is taken off of my life. why is he so tragic? has he sought out a psychiatrist? therapy? maybe some ketamine? does he need a dog? i can bark.

[mothpawbs]

ughhh i've been working on this for weeks and i'm so glad to be done with it lmao. anyways these are the designs for all of my oc queens!

[holy-obsession-batman]

about Jason’s problem with the no kill rule.

Y’all writing good stuff, if you’re writing BRUCE as the one most rigid about Jason’s method you’re WRONG.

DICK. Dick is the one who really can’t hear the "he’s trying to do good he just have different methods which involve killing".

Ever heard of Tarantula? Young promising vigilante who just happened to have the guts to kill because that’s what it takes? #Issue93 Yeah. Absolute trigger. Especially with UDRH happening RIGHT at the conclusion of the whole clusterfuck with Blüdhaven blowing up.

Edit: realized that the step before, when instead of 'Jason came back to life for real' the prevailing theory was shapeshifter… everything is just there to make him scream, huh

(Masterpost)

Hughie Campbell // Dick Grayson parallels in The Boys Season 4 (ep 6 + 7)

Spoilers below!!!

The Boys Season 4 Episode 6 ventures into the Tek Cave, a parody of the Bat Cave as a BDSM dungeon. Tek Knight fills the role of a perverse Batman, complete with a background as a billionaire orphan raised by his butler and an affinity for sidekicks.

Hughie Campbell goes undercover as Webweaver, Tek Knight's newest sidekick. This is the first tenuous connection between Hughie and Dick Grayson, Batman's original Robin (Hughie is not Tek Knight's first sidekick, but let's put that aside). The shape of the "V" on the chest of Hughie's Webweaver suit even resembles Dick Grayson's Nightwing suit.

That stuff is not meaningful on its own, but bear with me.

In Episode 6 Hughie is SA'd, a storyline which is not treated with the same seriousness as other SA plots on the show. Then in Episode 7, Hughie Campbell is SA'd by a shapeshifter pretending to be his girlfriend: Starlight. This is glaringly similar to when Dick Grayson is SA'd by the shapeshifter, Mirage, pretending to be his girlfriend: Starfire. This is the scene that caused me to start noticing the other connections.

On Hughie's storyline in ep 6 The Boys showrunner Erik Kripke said "Well, that’s a dark way to look at it!". This reminded me of Nightwing writer Devin Grayson's "I never said it was rape" comment when discussing Dick Grayson being SA'd by Tarantula (for those new to Dick Grayson's lore, yes this is a seperate event to the Mirage SA).

The Tek Cave stuff was an intentional parody of Batman. Is Hughie's storyline an intentional commentary on Dick Grayson?

What would this commentary be? We won't know until we see the finale. When Dick Grayson is assaulted by Mirage he is victim-blamed and slut-shamed by his girlfriend and team. Is Hughie in for the same treatment? Will his experiences be treated with the appropriate gravity that Dick Grayson's never were?

[fuck-edfrugs]

Need a fic where dick finally opens up about what happened with tarantula and mirage to his brothers and they just give a silent look to eachother. 2 days later tarantula and mirage are found dead.

because i've been thinking about wings of fire a lot i want to talk about my queen ocs! these are pretty new and subject to change but i like them so far.

bases are by k9pestilence on deviantart, with coloring/character design by me!

Queen Mirage of the Sandwings

she/her | straight | 56

pragmatic and cynical with a dry sense of humor, Mirage tends to make dragons quite uncomfortable when they first meet her. however, her penchant for kindness lets them warm up to her, slowly but surely. she is intelligent and enjoys collecting books and scrolls from around the continents. her single daughter, Arroyo, keeps trying to usurp the throne any way possible without actually challenging. Mirage chooses to see this as pathetic, but amusing.

Queen Fawn of the Mudwings

she/her | bisexual | 22

fawn's name is quite telling of her personality: sweet, whimsical, and empathetic. her kingdom is run by herself and her four sibs, whom she works side-by-side with to improve life for their subjects. Fawn enjoys interior decorating and fashion in her free time, and often has visits with queen Coastal to discuss their shared interests.

Queen Coastal of the Seawings

she/her | straight | 48

kind but reckless, many are watching Coastal in awe to find out when she'll end up dying from poor decision-making. despite this, her benevolence and altruism make her popular among her tribe. Coastal is an appreciator of art in all forms, and spends much time and resources on acquiring paintings, weavings, and sculptures. her wardrobe is also quite extensive, albeit impractical for swimming. Coastal has two heirs, twins Aegean and Carribean.

Queen Whirlwind of the Skywings

she/her | straight | 62

the eldest of the queens, Whirlwind is respected across the continents. wise and diplomatic, she has elevated the sky kingdom to new heights with trade agreements and treaties with other queens. however, the high value she holds towards tradition and convention can sometimes hold her back. Whirlwind is good friends with queens Mirage and Coastal, and has several descendants, including heir apparent princess Burnish.

Queen Heliconia of the Rainwings

she/her | omnisexual | 33

flamboyant and charming, all attention falls to Heliconia wherever she goes. she marvels at anything new and interesting, which has had the fortunate side effect of increasing trade with the rain kingdom. all of this power tends to go to her head, however, and Heliconia has a reputation for vanity and overindulgence. her parties are legendary.

Queen Verglas of the Icewings

she/they | lesbian | 24

relatively recently ascended to the throne, Verglas was always taught by her mother to trust none but herself. stern and suspicious, but desperately wanting close relationships, Verglas tends to make unfortunate choices that push those she loves away the more she tries to hold them close. the only dragon who refuses to give up on her is princess Burnish of the skywings, with whom Verglas is in an on-again, off-again relationship.

Queen Arcana of the Nightwings

she/her | aromantic | 40

imposing, distinguished, and of very few words, Arcana is a dragon that commands respect when she enters a room. the definition of 'speak softly and carry a big stick,' she is slow to anger but extremely powerful in a conflict. she is also secretive, and prefers to stay out of the limelight and keep things close to her chest. Arcana has three heirs: prince Valor, princess Clarity, and princess Spectral.

Queen Tarantula of the Hivewings

they/she | pansexual/polyamorous | 19

bold, daring, and decisive, Tarantula knows exactly what they want and will achieve it at any cost. they are also loving and deeply protective towards those closest to them, including their sisters and their two partners, Lady Lacewing and Lord Horntail. they've recently hatched their first egg, containing daughter Midge.

Queen Laurel of the Leafwings

she/her | bisexual | 8

the youngest of the queens, Laurel ascended to the throne after her mother, Lady Sakura, retired from progressing illness. Quiet, clear-headed, and imaginative, she would rather be writing poetry than ruling, but does her best to provide for her kingdom. Laurel is currently in a quiet, long-distance relationship with princess Clarity.

Queen Metalmark of the Silkwings

any pronouns | demiromanic ace | 31

proclaimed a visionary long before she first donned the Silkwing crown, Metalmark is a brilliant dragon with interests in many fields of study. they've written works in philosophy, social science, and history, and enjoys collecting rocks. they're not the best at social interaction, making mental connections most dragons can't follow and often too frustrated to take the time to explain themselves, and is therefore seen as a slightly mad eccentric.

[snakeredbirdbatkatana]

Can be triggering be aware.

So I love the Al Ghuls I will defend Talia till the day I die a lot of the problems with the characters is shitty racist writing.

However, Ra isn't getting a defense from me overall he's a shitty person don't get me wrong his shit some of it is also shitty writing but canonically he treated Damian like shit treated his daughters like shit is creepy in general.

But I have seen some interesting writing where you change that because if you take away about 10 instances he's not horrible yah he murders but he wants to save the planet.

There are only a couple things that make me hate a character whole heartedly which are Rape, Child Abuse, any form of harm to children or animals. But if a character hasn't done that shit I am not putting them in the death note.

So if Ra doesn't do any of that shit I wouldn't mind him and I honestly wish he would be redone just a tad because I would like to like Ra. But not when we are abusing children or orchestrating rapes.

Aka DC stop being racist assholes also in general the way they do S/A in comics just is horrifying it's never addressed and then we pretend it's not Rape.

[illusi0on]

I don't know what to say here 😭

[tftword]

Imma need you guys to hear me out.... Earthspark season 2... They bring out mirage to hang with thrash, like nightshade has tarantulas, twitch has wheeljack, jb has grimlock, # has starscream, who does thrash have? No one! (I am not counting swindle💀) mirage and thrash act similar and mirage is currently a fan fave

[catalinaflores]

just curious about ur blog name. why did you pick this one specifically? i realise this sounds offensive but i dont know much about the character beyond her role in the gang wars and nightwing vol 2

ill attach a screenshot bc ik the page i have it on is basically unfindable on mobile but. i do have a genuine answer written up for ppl genuinely asking! i have found that most people who ask this do not care about the answer which is the main reason behind any general aura of hostility you may be picking up on if you have seen my previous asks abt this
