I’m changing my username cause I made it ages ago and used the word depressed to just mean sad (and as much as it can just mean that) I haven’t liked my username in a while. I worry it doesn’t necessarily read like that and I don’t want it to seem like I’m aestheticising or cutesifying a mental illness 🤷

Anyway this is mostly just a heads up so that you guys know what to search for my account and so that when ppl see my old watermark on old posts they still know it’s me

Reblogging to add the context for anyone who doesn’t know about the spine incident TM

@torontofarmboi

The run & issues/where to read the arc:

It goes down in Batman & Robin (2009) - which is the run where Dick is Batman and Damian becomes/starts being Robin. The spine arc starts in issue #6 and ends in #12 but I would advise reading the issues before it (#6 is when he gets paralysed not when the story arc begins). Obviously my explanation has spoilers so heads up for that

(Also heads up if anyone decides to read the run - it’s a very good run, would absolutely recommend, we stan the dynamic duo 2.0 - but the run has a very uh- interesting way of writing Jason so maybe take his stuff with a grain salt)

Actual explanation:

Ok so, Dick and Damian (+Jason and his child sidekick but that’s not important) fight a serial killer called flamingo and during the fight he shoots and paralyses Damian

(Batman & Robin 2009 #6) (the panels are skipping over non-spine stuff)

This is back before he cut ties with the league of assassins so his mum comes to pick him up and the league heals him & replaces his spine with a metal, presumably titanium, one (+connects his nerves to the new one) so he’s not paralysed anymore

(Batman & Robin #6 + #7)

Skip ahead a couple issues and past the zombie Batman arc. Turns out Damian’s spine had a chip in it so that the league could control his nervous system via sci-fi Bluetooth and force him to kill Dick.

(Batman & Robin 2009 #11 + #12)

They manage to temporarily stop the nerve control and then take out the chip. The whole ordeal, quite fairly, really disturbs Damian who ends up leaving the league over it.

(Batman & Robin 2009 #12)

And so ends the spine arc TM

Seriously tho, I highly recommend this run, it’s so pivotal to Dick and Damian and is the basis for their entire relationship (for added points or if yall wanna go on a reading binge Red Robin 2009 takes place during the same time frame and obviously has some amount of crossover in terms of searching for Bruce after his “death”)

Damian’s prosthetic spine is my Roman Empire
