The vibes on this guy... Maybe it's a Gotham thing

Continuation of my lil delusional crossover cause I still think it is very fun and also people seemed to like the first set of doodles :D

Walk with me (proceeds to be delusional)

I rewatched MAWS and The Batman right after the other and instantly got brainworms

It makes no sense but I am master of my own universe and can draw whatever inane thought I have so this exists now

calling in to editorial

in my head, though, after the events of red robin i am actually super inclined to have tim choose to get his ged & decide to go to college and i am inclined to have him choose to go to hudson university & my reasoning is thus:

listen, tim's desire for normalcy is definitely there when he's not having a breakdown (not that you need college for normalcy, just that tim's brand of normalcy is very tied up in school attendance so i like that as an idea for him). i can picture him meeting up with ives again and seeing all his own peers going to college would give him the desire to maybe give school a shot again, as a sign his life is finally returning to normal after bruce's return. (and fabnic's ending of rr aside, i think tim should be in the best place as he's ever been at the end of red robin on account of being able to find himself & be confident as red robin & getting his friends & bruce back)

i think he deserves to be the one to make the decision for himself and not anyone else. he'd only dig his heels in about not doing it if someone else were trying to pressure him into it (given his history of being told what school he's going to whether he likes it or not with the boarding schools & brentwood & his dad) & i think him *finally* getting to choose to go to college/school & where is super important to his autonomy. also, he was at his happiest when he got to go to the high school he chose when he first became robin (convincing his dad to let him continue to attend gotham heights high vs go back to private/boarding school). i just really like him getting to make the choice given he's got a lot of baggage with that choice being made for him in the past.

i know san francisco seems like the obvious choice because it's by the titans but i really like the idea of hudson university because it's got the, well dick went there so tim always kind of thought it'd be cool to go there to & he does a tour & he really genuinely likes it because it's away but close & he can maybe picture himself going there & let's say ives goes there too so there's a lot of plusses in tim's head to choosing there.

but given hudson university was the university dick went to but dropped out after a semester, it gives me my oh so favorite dick & tim being weird about things a la the first time bruce time tried to adopt tim & tim was super worried dick would be weird about it & he didn't want to step on dick's toes by wanting to go there & he doesn't want things to be weird that he's choosing dick's old university & then dick doesn't know why tim is suddenly being weird & it's very fun in my head. dick will be very proud of you tim, dw.

tim going to college in nyc gives him a chance for red robin college shenanigans a la brentwood. him going to san francisco for college imo would tie up his schooling too much with the titans. if tim goes to school i delight in it being completely separate from that so he can have his separate civilian shenanigans & give him a space to be his own independent hero, not just a member of the titans. gives him a chance to keep his home base away from the titans tower like the rest of his friends do.

i am unironically obsessed with adam west batman not only trying to be a good dad to robin, but actually succeeding. also love robin's insane energy levels and his ability to go from seething bloodlust to manic glee in record time. i think any superman worth his S would fit right into the family ^_^

Hurt/comfort prompts, 28. "No one's mad at you."

28. "No one's mad at you."

In the end, Kara is the one who finds him, hiding behind the clouds somewhere over the Pacific.

“Everyone’s worried about you,” she says, settling onto the same strip of sky at his side. Her skirt billows in the frigid breeze; the sun glints off her wavy hair. Kon’s tried to get her to actually maintain her curls, but she just shrugs him off and brushes them out, saying between flights and fights, her hair always gets messed up anyway.

He makes a noncommital noise, rubbing his fingers along the ridge of Krypto’s brow. Krypto’s tail thumps lazily against his back. “Mm.”

Kara flicks his shoulder. “Oh, don’t do that.”

“Do what?” Kon glances at her, wary. If she’s about to tell him off for needing some space after Luthor tried to fucking violate his mind, again, he swears he’ll scream. It doesn’t matter that the control broke after less than ten seconds, that Kon was able to fight it off successfully. It’s that that fucking monster won’t stop trying to turn him into a weapon, no matter what he does, and he’s… he’s…

Ten seconds, and he leveled half a city block.

But Kara doesn’t say that. She just pretends to shudder, nudges his arm, and says, “The weird grunting thing. You’re spending too much time with that Bat of yours.”

…Oh.

Kon’s defensive, devastated thoughts grind to a halt.

“He’s not mine,” Kon mutters, cheeks heating. It’s—weird. You’d think a living weapon wouldn’t get humanizing characteristics like “picking up mannerisms from people he loves”, wouldn’t you? “And I was not Bat-grunting.”

“Sure, cousin. Denial is the first step.” Kara pats his shoulder.

They sit in a strangely companionable silence for a few minutes. Kon keeps rubbing Krypto’s head, scratching behind one ear and then the other. The wind whistles and whips around them; Kon’s jacket and Kara’s skirt flap noisily.

Her hand comes to rest on his shoulder again. “…Kon, no one’s mad at you. You know that, right?”

Kon bites the inside of his lip, hard. “I’m mad at me.”

He half-expects her to exclaim indignantly that he shouldn’t be, that it wasn’t his fault, that he can’t possibly think that. She gets mad at anything that seems unfair, including a lot of Kon’s thoughts about himself; he still remembers how pissed at him she was when he said he didn’t think he count as a real Kryptonian, not like her or Kal.

But instead… Kara just sighs. Slides her hand over and drapes her arm over his shoulders. Pulls him into her side. Kon’s stiff for a moment, but he’s never been good at turning away from comfort, even when he doesn’t deserve it. He’s weak like that.

“I know,” she says, the wind whipping the words from her mouth. “I still… Everyone tells me what happened to New Krypton—to my mother—wasn’t my fault, but even now, I have trouble believing it.”

It’s almost laughable. Kon’s half of a city block was far less damage than the destruction of the entirety of New Krypton; what Kon is feeling now is only a drop in the bucket compared to Kara’s pain. And that wasn’t her fault. This, today, was his. They’re not at all comparable.

“Say what I know you’re thinking right now, and I’ll spike you into the ocean,” she threatens.

Kon snorts. “Won’t say it, then.”

“Stop thinking it!” Kara lightly swats the side of his head. Kon almost laughs.

 After a moment, he sags further into her side. “…Thanks,” he mumbles. She only hums, threading her fingers into his hair, and for a little while more, they sit together in the wide blue sky.

“You wanna fight someone, you fight me” seemed like a silly rule at first. but after there was more than one batkid living in the Manor at the same time, suddenly the prospect of having to spar with Bruce on the mats because you couldn’t stop yourself from throwing a punch at Tim earlier is terrifying.

concept: stephanie brown gets caught doing vigilante level gymnastics and stunts as a civilian. she panics. then tells onlookers she’s just practicing to audition for Wipeout. …she then proceeds to actually have to audition for wipeout.

she gets in. she competes. she aces the obstacle course and wins the 50K prize — and the rest of the hero community recognizes their shiny new ‘get out of secret identity jail free’ card

Seriously stop posting j*yroy it's literally the worst ship out there

You guys are really annoying, you know that? Lucky for me, annoying is where I live, and I just got a recent bonus that I feel like burning.

So here's what we're gonna do:

From now until 11:59 PM EST on Halloween (Oct. 31st), I want the folks reading this to reblog with your favorite Jayroy headcanons. The fluff, the angst, the crackpot humor, all of it. For each reblog this post gets, I will donate $1.00 USD to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund to aid the victims of the ongoing genocide.

BONUS: if you want me to reblog your headcanon with my own "yes and," just make a donation yourself at the link above and DM me a screenshot of the final page as proof (personal info omitted of course). It can be any amount, even just a dollar/euro/whatever denomination you use.

I believe in us. We have the power of gay ships and spite on our side.
