Oh good! I wasn't the only one who had this thought!

The boy deserves a dragon though, let's be honest

Paladin and his Demon Lawyer by Ever HARMAAN

“You see my dear boy, given a few smites and my expertise on well executed prosecution, they’ll never see us coming.”

“Why are you interesed in helping me?”

“Chaos, of course. No one expects the introduction of demonic litigation.”

things i've learned about fandom

◾ You don't need your ship to become canon to be valid.

◾ Fanfic doesn't need to be ideologically pure when it comes to canon. Or even when it comes to your own headcanon. Fanfic is not meta. Fiction writing doesn't need to be your fannish mission statement. (Unless you want it to be.) Feel free to explore ideas in your fic even if they aren't "right."

◾ Meta is not canon. Not even if the meta is from someone with a million subscribers. You're allowed to pick and choose your own headcanon, even if someone makes an hour-long youtube vid about why their meta is Right.

◾ The actor is not the character is not the actor.

◾ Complaining about a ship will never endear people to the alternative ship that you want them to prefer. Never.

◾ Likewise bashing that one character who "gets in the way" of your ship (or even taking attention away from your fave) is plain nasty. Just say no. (Fandom's own history is littered with the bodies of characters whose crime was that they were in the way.)

◾ Everyone has a bias in interpreting media. I do. You do too. Your "it's obvious" is not someone else's obvious. Subtext is always seen through your own lens.

◾ It truly doesn't matter if someone ships something that you don't. Even if you hate that ship. I can't tell you how much it doesn't matter. Also there is a 99.9999% chance that you'll never change each other's minds about how you interpret the media no matter what you say, so doing battle over it is beyond pointless.

◾ Online fandom can cluster into echo chambers, giving a warped sense that "everyone thinks [X]" when that's far from the case. Even people who ship the same ship aren't going to agree on things. (And really there's no need to.)

◾ Your fannish experience is not universal. Just because you haven't personally seen something in your echo chamber bubble doesn't mean it doesn't exist. (e.g. fans being horrible to other fans) If only I had a dollar for every time I saw someone write indignantly "I have never seen any of my fellow shippers do this!" in order to dismiss a complaint. (I've probably even written this myself once upon a time so I owe myself some money.)

◾ Which leads to "Curate Your Experience." Being involved in fandom should be enjoyable. If it's causing you real life stress, time to think about letting some stuff go, whether it's making yourself crazy looking at things you know you don't agree with, or even following someone that's bringing you down.

So....I've been dealing with A LOT of mental health shit lately, hence my long absence. I'm starting to get back on track and am seeking treatment.

To help myself along, and maybe others along the way, I made a Facebook Page to chronicle my journey from beginning and beyond.

So if anyone wants to follow along, you're more than welcome to.

[dick-g-ayson]

so, there may have been some asks about timkon

and I am going to use this as an excuse to rant about them TimKon is about soulmates, about a relationship transcending time and space, about an ultimate human experience of wanting to know another soul and wanting to be known

I mean, how can you not get invested, if they

started out with this👆 amazing bickering\banter but also working well together, even despite driving each other MAD, and finishing their first meeting with

not just Superboy saving Robin,

but also Robin saving Superboy in return?

They’ve also self-assigned themselves the roles of Bart’s parents even though it was the first time the three of them were together

They can be the ultimate childhood friends to lovers au, not only because they literally grew up together, getting those experiences of friendship like never before, where they didn’t have to hide their superhero identities , but also

because they’ve shared a lot of secrets (like that time when Kon found out that he’s got 50% Luthor’s DNA and Tim was the only one who knew) and shouldered responsibility together Even before I start anything about the undeniable romance that’s so visible in the way they just are around each other, the bond between them as friends, each other’s confidants and support,  is so, so important, to the smallest detail

(like when in the 90s comics Tim took the time to record the episodes of a TV series Kon loves, when Kon was lost in the other dimension and couldn’t watch it)

because they always have each other’s back

(would you guess that Kon’s the invulnerable one, when Tim feels like he needs to hold him after they both suffered from the same blast that threw them like 20 feet back?) This is a relationship of trust and equality and mutually supportive partnership. This panel looks super fun, just two friends goofing around:

but, if you look closer, there’s this:

Because they know each other, the good and the bad and all that’s in-between, both being able to recognize when the other needs help, when something’s not okay

This is a page from Tim’s Red Robin run, the worst year of his life, the year of bad decisions and multiple near-deaths. Here, Kon’s just come back from being dead, and he managed to figure out Tim and what’s bothering him in a matter of seconds -  something no one else, neither Tim’s friends nor his family, managed or cared enough to do during that year  ‘I know what guilt can do to you, Tim‘ - do you understand how important this is for Tim, a kid whose parents never cared enough to get to know him, a kid who still thinks that people want him around only for his usefulness? Because what Kon is saying here is I know you, I see you Because, honestly, they’ve always been looking at each other?

Even in the smallest ways (this👆 panel is from Red Tornado’s, the first mentor of Young Justice, thoughts about them. This is an outsiders perspective on them)

They are always there for each other, always each other’s first choice

Because they also can’t really be without each other - this bond between them transcends death itself. I mean, Tim doesn’t know how to live without Kon:

‘I couldn’t lose you, too (…) I know it wouldn’t have been you, but it would’ve been something‘ - have you ever heard anything more romantic in your life?

And, yes, let’s not forget the cloning attempts

and what Kon’s death did to Tim

(note how there’s a photo of just the two of them at Tim’s bedside table):

and also how Tim changed his costume because red and black were Kon’s colors?

The connection they have is so special that they tend to gravitate towards each other in all of the different continuities, even when they don’t really know each other 

(👆Kon’s a clone who’s been alive for just a few month, and he and Tim’s barely just met)

Let’s also not forget that there’s a universe where Tim died

And Kon took his place at Bruce’s side

(do you want to think about this with me? How he probably wore Tim’s utility belt after Tim died? Good, now we’re both sad) Comics establish this unimaginably close relationship between the two of them, the one that brings them together throughout different universes in the Rebirth continuity, where a lot of illogical and weird things happened and Tim forgot about Young Justice for some reason, the alternative universe evil!Batman Tim talked to him about Conner 

‘You know how much he matters to us‘

no wonder Kon’s the first person Tim remembers when Zatanna brings his memories back

And also Kon rushes to the rescue as soon as Bart mentions that he’s not alone in this weird alternative dimension where Kon’s been stuck 

Kon and Tim love and trust each other

The chemistry between them is so obvious that even some of the DC authors admit it

This two literally do not know how to live without each other, they grew up together and respect, love and trust each other. No matter the circumstances, the universe always finds a way to bring them together. And that’s probably why I, as a writer, find them so compelling, why I haven’t let go of them for so long, why I keep putting them into different Alternative Universes, into different circumstances with the same outcome, again and again - the two of them always finding the way into each other’s arms.

I know it’s too late… (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)  Happy birthday Jason😭❤

Glorious

The War of The Roses Altercation

{Day 1}

Dick: the war of the roses was so stupid

Steph: well yeah. Everyone knows who was in the right

Dick & Cass: Lancaster

Steph & Tim: [at the same time] York

Everyone:

Dick: HOW COULD YOU-

Steph: ARE YOU-

-

{Day 3}

Jason: [walks into kitchen, stops, and blinks] what the hell? Why are you wearing roses?

Alfred: they are having a disagreement

Jason: about?

Dick: Tim and Steph are Yorkists

Jason:

Jason: oh hell no gimme one of those red roses we’re settling this

-

{Day 6}

Alfred: Nice to have you home again master Damian

Damian: [nods]

Alfred: I would suggest avoiding the living room. Masters Richard and Jason and Miss Cassandra has claimed it for the Lancasters

Damian: [pauses] are you suggesting a room in the manor has been occupied in the name of the red roses of Lancaster?

Alfred: quite. Master Timothy and miss Stephanie has also barricaded the sun room and proclaimed it Yorkist territory.

Damian: this is unacceptable

{later}

Steph: [hollering] HA YOU SUCKERS WE GOT DAMIAN NOW

Damian: THE SITTING ROOM HAS BEEN CONQUERED IN THE NAME OF THE NOBLE HOUSE OF YORK

-

{Day 8}

Jason: [yelling from the west side of the house] ROSES ARE RED-

Tim and Steph: [from the east side] BOO

Steph: FAKE NEWS

-

{Day 10}

Duke: [just stepped into the foyer] Hey Bruce

Bruce: Turn around.

Duke: what?

Bruce: [intense] turn around and walk away. Trust me, it’s for your own good.

Duke: [peering past Bruce] is that Damian and Cass fencing on the stairs?

Bruce: That’s not important

Damian: [loudly] Yield, you Lancastrian dog!

Duke: I feel like it really is

Bruce: [pushing him out the door] come back in a week

-

{Day 11}

Bruce: [hurrying down a hallway] WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?

Steph: [tumbles out of a doorway, spins around and faces Dick who’s holding a stick] You cur! You shame your house with your cowardice!

Dick: Hardy words from a lady who’s losing!

Duke: [sticks his head out from a room further down the corridor] Steph! This way!

Bruce: Wait, didn’t I send you away?

Duke: [meets Bruce’s gaze] Long live Damian of House York! The one true king!

Dick: You made Damian king?

Duke: He’s the only one who’s comfortable using the royal ‘we’.

-

{Day 13}

Alfred: I feel I should inform you that the “Yorkists” have stormed the “Lancastrian” stronghold. We will be needing a new chandelier.

Bruce: [rubbing his temples] why?

Alfred: I believe master Timothy finally made use of those explosives he made from pilfered kitchen supplies.

Bruce: [groans]

[there’s a crash from another part of the house, followed by a loud 'whoop’]

Bruce:

Bruce: that was not one of the kids.

Alfred:

Bruce: Please tell me Selina didn’t get involved in this

Alfred: [awkward silence]

Bruce: Alfred?

Alfred: [walks away]

Bruce: Alfred?? TELL ME SELINA DIDN’T GET INVOLVED! ALFRED?!

-

{Day 14}

Bruce: [walks into the living room to find all children collapsed onto various sofas and pillows]

Bruce: [peering at Cass and Damian, who are sharing an armchair] weren’t you mortal enemies?

Jason: [lounging next to Duke] nah

Bruce:

Bruce: When I left to go scream into the void- I mean get some pie -you were locked in a furious battle in the east wing.

Dick: [laying upside down on the couch] ran out of steam

Steph: [munching on popcorn] we’re watching Legally Blonde, wanna join?

Bruce: But-

Cass: Did you say there’s pie?

Bruce: I- who won?

Tim: Who cares? hand over the pie

Bruce:

Bruce: Are you telling me I just lived through a two week version of the 30 years’ war and you don’t even care who won?

Duke: [waves him off] it wasn’t the thirty years’ war, B, if it was we wouldn’t have fought to begin with. I mean it’s clear that the Protestants were in the right that time.

Damian: [sniffs] I think you mean the Catholics

Everyone: [eyes each other]

Bruce: oh no

Dick: HOW COULD YOU EVEN TH-

Jason: THE CATHOLICS??

Steph: THOSE GREEDY LUTHERAN BASTA-

Tim: -CORRUPTION! UNSCRUPULOUS, UNCONSCIONABLE DEEDS-

Cass: [flips the coffee table]

[dick-g-ayson]

Batman: [at the bat computer, scowling at the screen]

Red Hood: tough case?

Batman: I believe there’s a new villain in Gotham

Red Hood: oh?

Batman: there’s been a number of cryptic messages left around the city.

Red Hood: [pauses] really?

Batman: whoever it is is using a code I can’t decipher. It changes with each message.

Red Hood: Hm. They sound pretty smart

Batman: [grunts] I thought I’d cracked the code for one of them. [points at the screen] this one was left on the wall of the public library, I thought it was an adaptation of the Dewey decimal system, but the result was nonsensical.

Red Hood: ...what’d it say?

Batman: “these are better than Catwoman”

Red Hood: [coughs to cover a laugh]

Batman: obviously that’s not right so I’m back to square one. So far they haven’t made any moves but I’m certain they will escalate sooner or later.

Red Hood: uh-huh. What do you think they’re after?

Batman: I think they might be aiming to found an underground society, similar to the court of Owls. Their ideology seem to be connected to the superiority of people with enough intelligence to decode their messages, not unlike Riddler.

Red Hood: [straight faced] sounds serious. You got a name for them yet?

Batman: I call them “the cryptologist”. It seemed fitting.

Red Hood: very intriguing, this

Batman: [turns to face Red Hood] I don’t want you to get involved. I believe them to be both unpredictable and highly dangerous. Promise me you will stay away from this.

Red Hood, who’s been leaving the cryptic messages to mess with Bruce: [nodding seriously] he does sound awfully dangerous and sinister

-Later-

Tim: did you seriously waste one of your codes on a vine reference?

Jason: [unrepentant] it was the library, what did you expect me to do? Not make that joke? It’s like you don’t even know me

Tim: I often wish I didn’t

Jason: [peering over Tim’s shoulder] Are you done?

Tim: [leans back to survey the code he just etched into the paint of the Batmobile] just about

Jason: [contemplative] you know, those calligraphy lessons your parents made you take as a kid really paid off

[dick-g-ayson]

[at the watchtower]

Superman: [just arrived to an emergency meeting] what’s going on?

Green Lantern: We don’t know. There’s been a series of sudden attacks all over the world [points at a map].

Flash: [points at an uninhibited piece of land in the Middle East] there was also a more destructive attack on a couple of buildings here. It looks like some sort of base, we suspect military, that was completely blown up and then flooded somehow. The real worry is the tech used in the attacks, though. It’s way beyond anything that’s on the market.

Superman: [peering at the map] oh that’s just Bruce

The League:

Green Arrow: wait, the Bat is doing this?

Superman: [nods] I assume those are League of Shadows’ bases. Kon said the bats were on a rampage because Ra’s said something distressing to Tim.

Flash: ...and the explosion?

Superman: probably Tim, Jason, and Damian.

Green Arrow: why does Damian care if Tim is distressed?

Oracle: [through the speakers] they just like starting shit

-Meanwhile-

Spoiler: [arriving at the smoking ruins of Ra’s home base] I cannot believe you guys decided to start without me

Nightwing: [trying to pull a rabid Robin away from a league member] It was less of a decision and more of a race

Spoiler: [arms crossed] you lot never invite me on family outings

Nightwing: [flabbergasted] what family outings?

Spoiler: like the time you went on vacation to the Grand Canyon

Nightwing: you mean when Batman was moping about being a bad father and dragged us along on the hike from hell? Hood almost killed all of us for real that time

Steph: well-

[there’s an explosion nearby, followed closely by the sound of gunshots and Red Hood cackling maniacally]

Steph: [pauses to look around] where’s Red Robin?

Nightwing:

Red Hood: [from the other side of a hill] Yes!! Now try the flamethrower!

Nightwing: shit

[dick-g-ayson]

Robin Musings, as per Martian Manhunter

aka J'onn J'onzz, The Last Martian, Ph.D. (Creepy Psychology), M.A. (Costume Design)

Robin I

Ah, it is Batman's bat-baby

How lovely, I am reminded of my babies

Why yes, green is my favourite color

However did you guess

Ah I have made the child happy

Batman as you know I sadly have no children anymore

Could I sometimes borrow this one please

Robin II

Hello angry child

I sense you have a lot of inner pain

No I was not being a creeptastic psych doc

What even is that

Here, have some martian tea, it calms the nerves

Oh no

I miscalculaed the amount of tea to use

The child is sleeping

Hide before Batman finds out

Robin III

This is getting ridiculous

Batman has severe unaddressed psychological issues

He shouldn't be having children willy nilly

As a good friend I will take this one

…

Why can't I read your mind

Please this is scary

Why are your mental defenses so strong, this is unheard of-

Robin IV

Please stop

Your thoughts are TOO LOUD

I am having a migraine

No I do not want a waffle to cure my ailments

I am a martian

I am quite sure that I cannot digest refined flour

Robin III again

Oh thank the stars

Peace at last

Let us continue to sit here quietly

Robin V

What

Why

So snippy

Calm down small child

A thought occurs

*shapeshifts into Nightwing*

Success, the child is smiling
