🍄🐸🍄 She/her with a bucketload of ADHD, a spoonful of Bi, and a pinch of the tism. I mostly post about fencing (my one true joy) whatever random book/show fandoms have grabbed my interest, or random creative writing stuff. Hope you’re having a good day!🍄🐸🍄
So, in World's Finest: Teen Titans, there's this scene where Bruce and Dick are discussing why Dick cannot go to the Teen Titans Convention with his friends, while Bruce is working on the Batmobile. (It's weirdly domestic even if they are in costume and speaking about being vigilante, because it's literally a teen being "Yeah, I know it's dangerous and a bad idea, but I still want to do it and hang out with my friend! Pls, let me go???" to his father who is fixing the car. I love it.)
And I couldn't stop thinking about how Jason loves cars, and all the time he and Bruce must have passed together working on the Batmobile. Dick sticks around but he isn't helping, and neither does Tim or Damian later, they aren't interested. Jason "stole the Batmobile's tires" Todd, Jason "told Two Faces his car is tacky" Todd must have asked if he could look and learn, and help, and Bruce taught him and let him with a small smile. Numerous good times between father and son, working on the Batmobile, while Jason talks about his day at school.
Jason who comes back and knows the Batmobile so well he tries to blew it up to kill Batman, before changing his mind (it's because he loves the car, he tells himself). Bruce getting a brand new Batmobile after Jason's death because working on the one he worked on with Jason hurts. Now, she sits in a conner of the garage of the batcave, and when Jason comes by for the first time, he recognizes the old car. Bruce breaking down everytime he works on his car in the months following Jason's death, because he is so used to having the kid helps and chats with him. Bruce offering to Jason to help him fix the Batmobile when they are trying to fix their relationship, and father and son falling back into the comfort of working together on the car.
Reblogging this again because I was fencing earlier and wearing leggings for the first time in months instead of my regular fencing pants and naturally the one time anyone has tried to hit my foot in months was then. The dude literally stabbed me in the one (1) inch of exposed skin between my sock and the bottom of my leggings.
I now have a giant welt there.
So, yes
Wear your fencing pants y’all
I’ve been asked before about why I wear knickers for every practice. The main reason is that SOME people will tear a hole right through your leggings with their blade. ………If someone is going to tear a hole in my leggings I want it to be consensual.
I’ve put off finishing this for so long (the adventures of Crowbar have been living in my head rent free for a long time at this point) but here’s a little fanart (badly drawn bird mask and all)
Y'all. Y'ALL. What if Jason was just a lil more attached to the bird motif? What if he didn't just take the name Robin because of Dick's precedent, but because he identified with the "rehabilitated baby bird" theme, the "my new dad helped me find my wings" concept? Objectively very cute, right?
But y'all. Just fucking imagine what that would mean post-resurrection. He wants to send a message that both the Joker and Batman would understand, but he thinks an old alias no one remembers isn't quite the way to go. The Red Hood isn't a name anyone fears anymore. It probably wouldn't mean a thing to the Replacement. And worst of all, it doesn't relate to birds at all.
So he tries to find a bird name that isn't taken, but that is much easier said than done. At one point, he's just scrolling through bird names, trying to find one that fits, when he lands on the corvids. And it hits him (metaphorically this time):

i'm conducting an experiment. everyone who's from an english speaking country state your country, regional area and what you call the following images. i need to see something
Why yes I do need to wake up early for a fencing tournament.
Why yes I am up late feeling a type of way about my evolving relationship with the sport as I grow and change and become less close with people I was once a team with.
Ugh. I don’t need to win tomorrow. But I do need to kill it in terms of my own performance. I can’t let the feelings of isolation smother me into having a bad time.
