Submas on Pokémon versions of Koinobori!!!
(These are real BTW!!)


It was rather windy today, which finally gave me the inspiration to draw these!! 😊
#pokemon#submas#ingo#nobori#subway boss ingo#emmet#kudari#subway boss emmet#koinobori#gyarados#eelektross#tynamo#magikarp#I meant to draw this on Children's Day (Japan) because these banners were often flown around that time but I missed it 😔#But I still had fun!! I enjoyed drawing the boys and the individual banners!!#I actually celebrated that holiday when I was in elementary school!! 🥹 Such fond memories....#The reason why I added Submas was because of Eelektross and Tynamo (Emmet)#As well as the fact that the word 'Nobori' (Ingo's JP name) is also present in the name of these banners!!#Also first time I've drawn Gyarados 😂 I've never drawn it before despite it being one of my favorite water types..#Magikarp is there but he's in the back 😅

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐒 𝐅. 、𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐊𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓
PROFILE. a self-righteous knight who is too willing to throw their life away, and too eager to charge into battle. underneath their stubborn exterior, they are riddled with the pressure of upholding a family title that has long been lost to time.
FULL NAME. artemis elise fröhlich
PRONOUNS. they / them
GENDER. fem-presenting non-binary
AGE. early twenties
HEIGHT. 5”1
BIRTHDAY. november 12th
OCCUPATION. knight
AFFILIATION. knights of favonius
ELEMENT. pyro
CONSTELLATION. columba bellicosi
WEAPON TYPE. sword — “herald of the dawn”
Now stripped of its original purpose as a vessel to store all the memories of an ancient god king, this sword has been passed down in the Fröhlich family since the dawn of time.
Once wielded by the god of memories herself, this sword was blessed by the winds and presented as a gift to her youngest child upon the morn of their knighting ceremony.
“You, who represent the grace and bravery of humanity,” said the Queen, “take this and go. Become a pillar of hope to those wallowing in the darkness, and guide the lost onto a chivalrous path. You, the Dovewing Knight.”
And so, the first Dovewing Knight set out, protecting the people of Cairnfelle and standing tall as a beacon of hope, just as they were requested.
At the edge of the world, when the brilliance of Cairnfelle collapsed and the mountains crumbled, the sword found its way tumbling back into the hands of its previous owner to defend her honor, and upkeep her legacy until the final trumpet sang … announcing her defeat.
With no definite home, the sword lay in the ruins of its kin, preserved well by the Anemo Archon and his will — until the day it found its way into the waiting hands of the inheritor of an ancient title.

CHARACTER STORY 1: eastward of eden
It is true that Artemis has long held resentment towards their older sister and past caretaker, Lilith. As a child, Artemis was refused of many things — including choosing their own clothes, partaking in certain activities, and having their own privacy. There wasn’t much they were allowed to do, and even the hobbies they enjoyed ended up ruined by Lilith’s excitement and pushy nature.
To this day, Lilith is unaware of the mental anguish she caused her siblings over the course of their entire childhood. However, in her own eyes, she has done no such thing, and has succeeded at being a “mother.”
Many citizens have told her, “My, you exercise much control over them,” and yet, she has failed to see the error in her ways. It is not entirely her fault, as she was forced into the role of a mother when she wasn’t ready for such a task. Even though she failed in many aspects of her parenting skills, there was one thing she has always truly succeeded at: caring deeply for her family.
However, no amount of love could undo the years of fighting and hurtful words thrown around between the siblings.
CHARACTER STORY 2: legacy
Long ago, in the days of yore, the archaic land of Mondstadt had been ruled by a monarch older than Decarabian. Her rule was rumored to last longer than his, and her birth is now nothing but scattered fragments along the wind.
When the Queen of the North Wind descended and claimed Mondstadt as her home, a mighty kingdom formed under her feet. Small huts grew to larger, firmer homes, and gargantuan cathedrals made of marble were erected in her honor. Trumpets blew, the wind howled, snow fell, and mountains as high as the heavens towered above humanity.
In later years, the prospering kingdom of Cairnfelle was officially born. Serving as a haven for travelers and poets alike, the kingdom sang with energy as it thrived under Queen Catalina’s guiding hand. The god of memories was exceptionally gentle, with a kind and compassionate heart that moved even the most stoic-faced men to tears. Her words were wise, her complexion glowing, and her promises true.
Cairnfelle, as much as it prospered, gained an enemy from a distant land. With no choice but to face the beast she prodded, the Queen set out to befriend the raging phoenix that had enough of her games. Ever the charming soul, the Queen did not have to do much to make the phoenix bow to her every whim, and before the citizens of Cairnfelle had the chance to acclimate to the visitor, the two were to be wed.
There is not much to say for the years in between the joining of two god kings and the fall of Cairnfelle, but this: Four inexplicably brave and virtuous souls were born from the two gods — four demigod knights who carved the way for the future of Mondstadt: The Four Archangels.
The Blair Family — the origin of the Fröhlichs, is no longer the raging flame of life it had once been, but a snuffed out ember of its former glory.
Only in passing on the titles of the Four Archangel Knights can the present day Fröhlich family hold tight to what was once a name feared and adored by all.
CHARACTER STORY 3: composition
Many questions have arisen over the years; all pertaining to a certain facet of Artemis’ composition.
“Is it a curse?” They’ve inquired, only to wind up receiving a simple, “I’m not even sure myself!”
However, that it is a small white lie they’ve grown to tell. In fact, Artemis is very much aware of the reason why they consistently find themselves on the brink of death and luckily make it out alive. It is because of the unique composition their ancestor, Lowen, was made of: pure and unbridled wrath.
The story goes as such: In the days of yore, when gods and monsters still yet walked the earth, a beast born of flame and rage took flight. They seared their enemies and allies alike, and roused the hearts of warriors all across Natlan. They utterly refused to lay their past life to rest. In doing so, they made a promise to their newfound family. The wrath that lived inside them was nothing but a blessing, and deserved to be passed on through their children, and future generations. And so, the endless wrath that boiled in their veins was passed on — consuming the lives of their children, and overtaking the brilliant flames that became their descendants.
To be a god’s descendant has always been an honor in the Fröhlich family line… Yet, Artemis — like the direct children of the god of wrath — see it as naught but a curse; For what blessing could bring about destruction and the devastation of any living being in one’s wake.
VISION STORY:
The blistering pyro vision attached to Artemis’ belt was said to be a gift from the gods, and maybe even a gift from the long gone god of wrath themselves.
What else are visions besides gifts from the gods? A tool to wield, and yet another curse Artemis must deal with.
At the young age of eleven, Artemis was sent out on their first escorting mission. It was their first mission given to them by Grand Master Varka, who was elated to test their strength and endurance. Not many were willing to accept an escort from a child — as was the case with the Fontainian aristocrat Artemis was talking their ear off to. However, the man said nothing, as the child’s directional skills were second to none. It was only when they hit a bump in the road that the man questioned Artemis’ capabilities as a knight.
“I should’ve known better than to trust a child!” He yelled, waving his fist in the air as he pushed them aside and ran off ahead by himself in the rain, leaving the young Artemis to fend for themselves amidst a hoard of abyssal monsters.
Although panic was steadily rising throughout their body, they forced themself forward — slashing at every monster with a shaky grip on their sword. The rain poured, sagging their clothes, and dragging their arms down to the dirt. The grip on their sword slipped, as did their footing, and they tumbled to the hard ground with a rough clash.
Their shoulder-piece scratched the bridge of their nose on the way down, and a thick line of blood began to spill from the open wound. A rifthound drew closer, baring its teeth and snapping its jaw as its claws outstretched, striking Artemis across the head. A clap of thunder sounded, and amidst the ringing in their ears, Artemis felt the weight of ten large wooden planks collapse on their back.
Even so, they shakily grabbed their sword, their nails digging into the wet earth, and began to stand. Their blood boiled as a wrath they were only warned about once crept up to the surface, prickling along their skin until it caved inwards, tugging at their ribcage and burning against their racing heart.
In a flash of white and gold, the hoard of rifthounds lay motionless on the grass, their bodies turning to dust as Artemis panted heavily. The wrath inside their veins bubbled, and their vision turned red. It was all consuming. It was destructive, and it was total annihilation. They struck down every monster seeping from an abyssal pylon until finally, they tore the pylon in half with nothing but their blade and their bare hands.
The rain continued to fall as they dropped their sword and collapsed to the ground in a heap of sore limbs and bloodied grass. Their eyes fell close for a moment — at least, what felt like a moment — and when they opened, a shining vision sat amongst the pool of blood left behind by their foes.
Indeed. The god of wrath, whose curse ran rampant in their veins, rewarded them with yet another “gift.”

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐀
• hobbies: When they are home in Dornman Port enjoying their days off, they like to wind down by practicing the art of crochet. Not only is it soothing to sit by a windowsill while the afternoon breeze filters into their bedroom, it is also a hobby their late mother held dear. By partaking in this hobby, they feel closer to their mother, and can preserve her memory longer. Another hobby is sports. Artemis can often be found playing with the kids in the port during vacations.
• beliefs: The Fröhlich family have always dedicated their lives to the protection of Mondstadt, and hold a firm worship to a god king who has long been dead. Although they have accepted Barbatos as their new savior, they still hold their original god close to their hearts. Artemis has naturally followed this belief and considers their worship of the god of memories their religion. During rough times, they find solace in a temple far north and meditate there for as long as they deem necessary. Once a month, they offer up a few of their most important memories— a ritual that has been passed down in the Fröhlich family for over 3000 years.
(This act of offering up memories is akin to the way some worshippers will offer animal sacrifices to the god they serve.)
• about — fate: Artemis is a firm believer that fate will guide the worthy and ultimately lead everyone onto the path they are destined to walk. However, they do not include the meddling of gods and higher beings into this equation. They believe that fate is its own entity and not dictated by the Archons nor Celestia. It acts of its own accord, and the gods are mere victims of fate, as well. Not even Celestia will be spared.
• about — death: Artemis believes that death is a stepping stone to a greater afterlife. Akin to their many family members, they believe that life is temporary, and death is eternal. When one dies, they are not truly dead; for they are shedding their mortal shell and accepting their true form, which is the soul. The soul will live on forever in the afterlife, while the physical body is nothing more than a temporary shell to house said soul. With this belief, the Fröhlich family does not fear death, but welcomes it with open arms— greeting it like an old friend.

What's the deal with the master and cats??
I am unsure whether you mean a genuine question or you're being funny, especially because my blog is very ainley centered, but I am Autistic(tm) and so will answer literally. SO!!! 👁️👁️
The Master appeared, played by Anthony Ainley, in the last serial of Doctor Who (classic), called Survival. In this serial, there's a bunch of cat-like creatures (kitlings, they look almost identical to black cats just uhh sharper teeth I think... sometimes there's a real black cat sometimes a puppet thingy) teleporting people into a planet called "the cheetah planet". Which basically slowly turns you into a cheetah person, via a virus. The Master was trapped there and taking care of the kitlings and the rest of the cheetah people, who had been turned a while ago. He kept fighting the virus, but eventually, he turns as well, just, slowly. It kind of eats your dna and your psyche, turns you physically and has your mind want to hunt and do cat stuff I guess. (Now imagine him about to throw your glass from your table. Also yes cheetah people purr if you were wondering. Loudly.)
Also for some reasons those cheetah can howl here's a clip of him howling very camp very funny to me
youtube
Lookie he... He also pets one of the kitlings!! She's called Shadow. He's got a telepathic bond with her and can see through her eyes. Which probably means he's seen POV cat licks its butt which is also very funny to me. 😔
Dhawan as the Master later makes reference to this episode when he meets Ace and she says "last time I saw you, you were part-cat!" and he says "a man's allowed to experiment".
Besides EU stories where they're still dealing with the virus, I think that's it from canon. That is the deal with cats. However I personally think the Master is a very catlike character, if we're categorising them as dogs or cats the Doctor would be dog and the Master would be cat, in most incarnations at least 😔 The fandom seems to see this and draw the Master with cat ears. Or write him. Or they just like catboys. IT'S OKAY I LIKE CATBOYS TOO!!!! If you couldn't tell
Also also fun fact, in the eaglemoss classic Masters figurine set, in the magazine, there's an article on Ainley where the writer just keeps calling him catlike all the time 😭 from BEFORE that serial, the way he's dressed, the way he walks and moves and acts is very reminiscent of kitty. Interestingly enough he loses a bit of that when he changes outfit for Survival.
So yeah Master catboy furry canon
#ALSO I feel I sounded rude in that first sentence I am not trying to be I am just genuinely wondering!! And idk how to word it otherwise!#I love asks that let me ramble about the Bad Cat Man (tm)#WHICH IS UHH THE NAME THEY GAVE HIM IN THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THAT EPISODE AND ALSO A KID IN THE SERIAL CALLED HIM THAT#bad cat man fr 😔#lux rambles#lux answers#ainley#mewo#the master#etcetc

every robin gets a freebie
reverse robins in the aftermath of the death of filipe garzonas
A CD was in the mail within the next week, blank but for a note that slipped out when the envelope was opened. You should really trust in your birds more often, B. Learn from your mistakes for once.
Jason felt bile in his throat. It was body cam footage, blurry and half obscured, of Robin and Garzonas on the roof. Footage that still clearly showed Garzonas taking a too-far step back, Robin lunging to reach him, and then…
But that’s not what happened, Jason doesn’t say. His tongue feels swollen and thick in his mouth.
Batman takes off the cowl solemnly. “Jaylad,” he says. “Jason. I’m so sorry for doubting you. I never should have…”
He can’t be here anymore. He can’t be in this cave, can’t stand Bruce looking at him like that, can’t stand to even be in the vicinity of the Robin uniform he no longer deserves.
He bolts for the exit.
“Jason!” he hears Bruce call, but he doesn’t stop. He can’t. Not even when he nearly runs into Alfred, not when Damian tries to grasp his arm, not when Duke asks him what’s wrong or when Tim yelps in surprise and drops his cane jumping out of the way. He just runs, out the manor door and into the night.
For a split second the figure on the roof is overlaid with Gloria. Beautiful, resigned Gloria, who was so scared of what Felipe would do to her that she would do anything to stop it.
Then he blinks, and he’s on the rooftop with the Spoiler.
“Relax,” Spoiler says, “I’m not gonna jump. I'm only three steps into my five-step plan for world dominance. Can’t leave that unfinished. Imagine the paperwork.”
“I dunno.” Jason’s hands are shaking. “You seem like the kinda freak who would enjoy that.”
Spoiler lowers her mask, and Stephanie Brown smiles at him.
“How did you do it?”
“Do what?”
“You know.” His voice wavers. “You know. You know what I did. How did you…why did you…what was the reason?”
“Does it matter?”
“Yes!”
“Call it tradition then, I guess.” Steph sounds almost amused. “Robin’s flock together.”
“But you don’t like me.”
“Who told you that?”
No one, but she doesn’t exactly go out of her way to talk to Jason. He just kind of assumed.
Tim’s awkward around him. Sometimes they’re fine, like when he wandered into the library where Jason was and asked if he wanted to get ice cream together. Other times he wouldn’t see him for three weeks. Jason tries not to think about the nights Tim has had dreams that left him cackling loud enough to wake Jason up the couple times he’s stayed the night at the Nest, or the things he heard Tim shout about little birds and broken nests when he was fear gassed.
It kind of sucks, being your brother's biggest trigger.
(Those three weeks may be a case of mutual avoidance, but Jason will never admit it.)
When he doesn’t say anything, Steph sighs. “How much do you know about when I was Robin?”
“Uh,” he says, caught off guard, “not much, I guess?” He knows that it was because something was going on with Tim. That’s about it, really. He asked once, when he was still new to Robin and the Manor. He didn’t ask again after he saw the look on Tim’s face.
“Bruce didn’t really want me. Damian didn’t think I was worthy of the mantle, and took every chance he could to remind me. Tim was pissed at me for it. None of them wanted me there, and I tried so hard to prove them wrong. To be the Robin I knew I could be.”
That…can’t be right. The few times he had asked about Stephanie Brown, Tim had nothing but good words to say. Bruce and Damian spent so much time wallowing in their regrets it was insane. For her to say nobody wanted her there, when her absence was a shadow that followed them constantly around Wayne Manor, was baffling.
Steph looks down at the helmet in her hands. “All I wanted was their approval, and it made me stupid. I overestimated myself. That’s how you get killed in this game, kid. Don’t get too cocky for your britches, and all that.”
Jason is shaking again by the time they get to the Nest. He hesitates at the window, sending a pleading look to Spoiler that she completely ignores ushering him in.
Tim spins around in his tricked out gaming chair, frown pulling oddly against the wide scars on his cheeks. He flicks his comm off. “Steph?” Then his eyes found Jason. “Jason! Thank God, we were starting to get worried about you. Duke told everyone to give you space, but…”
His mouth is too dry to say anything in response, so he just shrugs. Tim tilts his head, examining him, before looking at Spoiler questioningly.
She takes off her mask again, lowering her hood and shaking out her hair. “We need some help,” she explains, and nudges Jason forward.
He stays stubbornly in his place, head tilted towards the floor. Steph sighs. “If you don’t tell him,” she says, “I will.”
He whips his head around. “You promised!”
“My name is literally The Spoiler.” She bares her teeth at him. “I get that you’re nervous, kid, but I do not have time for this.”
“For what?” Tim says. God, Tim’s going to be like a dog with a bone with this. He’s never met a mystery he didn’t want to solve. “Just tell me what’s going on.”
“I killed Filipe!” He blurts out and freezes, moving immediately to hide behind Spoiler. She doesn’t let him, grabbing his shoulder and holding him firmly to the spot.
Tim gapes at him. “You…” he trails off, slowly turning to Steph, who holds his gaze steadily. “The footage?”
“I have connections.”
“Of course you do.” He rubs a hand over his face. “How are we playing this?
What?
“We keep going along with what’s been presented to him,” Spoiler responds without hesitation. “B’s paranoid, but he’s also the king of denial. There’s no doctoring on the tape itself, he won’t look any deeper.”
“And Damian?”
“Like he gives a shit.”
“True,” he admits. “Duke wouldn’t care enough to check either way, so that just leaves Cass.”
Steph swears. “Fuck, Cass. Do you think she’ll say something?”
“Yes. Ugh, yes she will. Fuck.”
“Think you can talk some sense into her?”
“Maybe.” He squints at Jason. “I’ll probably play up the ‘ridden by guilt’ and ‘will never happen again’ angle. He definitely reads it.”
“What the hell are you two talking about?” Jason finally says, lungs fighting for air. “I—I killed someone!”
“Not according to Bruce, you didn’t.” Tim tells him.
“You want me to lie?”
“Yes.”
He looks at Steph imploringly, begging her to explain, but she doesn’t even look at him. “Chill out, kid,” she says, “We all get a freebie.”
“Damian got more than a freebie,” Tim points out.
“He’d tell you it was his right as the blood son.”
“Stop joking!” He shouts, chest heaving for air. “Just—stop it! Why aren’t you telling Bruce? Why are you making plans to lie to him? What’s wrong with you?”
Tim exchanges a heavy look at Steph, before reaching his hand out to Jason. Jason takes it, trembling.
“Plenty of vigilantes have to make hard choices when it comes to stopping people the law can’t touch,” he tells Jason gently. “I work with people who all choose different things. When it comes to people like Garzonas, who will keep doing it over and over with no remorse…it’s not a method I recommend, but sometimes there’s only one way to stop them. If Robin made that choice, I wouldn’t blame him.”
He can’t stop the tears from welling in his eyes, because this is Tim Drake saying it. Damian was the first Robin, yeah, and Steph left her undeniable mark with her cheer and wit, but Tim wore the mantle twice. He made it into something new, something a bit brighter in the dark nights. Then, after Steph, he made it into a memory. Bright yellow for her hair. Red for Superboy. Even after they both came back Jason wore their colors, because Robin was persistence, and spirit, and clever words followed by hard punches, and bravery and a million other things, but it was also hope and love and remembrance for the lost.
He wouldn’t forget that. “Why are you so okay with this?”
“You know I’ve had to make that choice too.”
Jason almost laughs, but refrains. He’s heard the stories. “Never sounded like much of a choice.”
“It was.” His eyes snap to Tim’s at the sudden edge to his voice, and Tim meets his eyes carefully. “I was fully aware of what I was doing. It’s not something I’ll ever do again, but it was my choice, and I won’t have that taken from me.”
“I don’t think I can be Robin anymore.”
“Well, we all have to give it up sometimes.”
“Are we really doing this?” Tim asks, after he thinks Jason has fallen asleep.
Jokes on him, Jason doesn’t think he’s gonna sleep ever again.
“Are you seriously getting cold feet now? I thought you loved lying to Bruce.”
“I don’t love lying to Bruce, it’s just—“
“‘—necessary sometimes,’” she finishes. “Whatever. Like you don’t love the thrill of it.”
Tim doesn’t bother denying it. “This isn’t just lying to B, Steph. This is—are we really going to cover up a murder?”
The room drops ten degrees.
“If you’re not going to back me on this, we can go somewhere else. Don’t want you getting your hands dirty or anything,” she sneers.
“You know I’ve always got your back,” Tim says. Jason thinks back to what Spoiler told him earlier about her time as Robin, and wonders if that might not be as irrefutable a truth as he’d always thought it was. “I’m worried about Jason.”
“You wouldn’t need to be if you would just help him out—“
“You saw him. The kid looks like a ghost. He looks like I did. Don’t—no, Steph, I’m serious. I’m worried about him. At least I didn’t have to hide that I killed the Joker. You think keeping this bottled up will be good for him? It’s going to kill him.”
“The alternative is telling Batman that his precious Robin killed someone. You remember how that went last time?”
There’s a long pause, and then he hears Tim hiss an exhalation behind clenched teeth. “Don’t bring that into this. Jason’s not me.”
“That’s the fucking problem. You were his golden boy—“
“Seriously? You think I was the golden boy?”
“I’m hardly his favorite,” Tim scoffs. “Jason is.”
There’s a shocked silence. Then Stephanie scoffs. “You can’t seriously be jealous.“
“I’m trying to tell you it’ll be different from me. Have you seen him with Jason?” He waits, but Steph doesn’t answer. “He laughs. He laughs, he smiles, he’s fucking…happy. Jason makes him happy. I never did that. None of us ever—“
“Jesus, Tim,” Steph says roughly. “You made him plenty happy. Damian, Cass, Duke, you all make him laugh—“
“Not like Jason does.”
“You willing to risk the kid on that?”
A beat, and Tim sighs. “No. But it’s different now. Jason has us. All of us. It wouldn’t be like last time.”
“Jason’s not me.” He pauses, almost like he’s debating what he’ll say next, before he says, “He’s not you, either.”
Steph stays silent for so long Jason wonders if she climbed out the window and left.
Finally, she exhales. “He’s not you, and he’s not me,” she agrees, “but Bruce is always going to be Bruce.”
They sit in silence for a long moment. Finally Steph speaks up. “Are you really jealous of him?”
“No, Steph. Jesus.”
“You’re such a liar.” It’s affectionate this time, though, clearly poking fun.
Tim sighs, heavier than the teasing warrants. “It’s not him. It’s not him, and it’s not you, I just…I was never able to give up Robin on my own terms. I never…I never got to feel like I was putting it down. It never stopped feeling like—“
Stephanie doesn’t say anything. Eventually, one of the chairs slides back, and Jason hears a cane clacking on the ground. A cabinet opens. “Did you want coffee?”
“What happened to those awful sodas you were addicted to?”
“I assumed you wouldn’t want one,” Tim responds, voice dry. There’s no indication of their discussion in either of their tones. “Considering the first thing you ever did in this apartment was go through all my stuff and make fun of my taste.”
“Fuck it. I’m feeling abominable tonight, I should have something to fit the mood.”
“Shut up.” The fridge opens and shuts, and there’s a quiet thunk like a hand catching something out of midair. Then two drinks crack open.
“God, I forgot how awful these were.”
(some undetermined amount of time later)
Bruce: Dick you can’t kill Tony Zucco. Batman and Robin do not kill.
Dick: Steph said Robin gets a freebie >:(

Bruce: STEPHANIE-
#OKAY SO I HAD A TON OF THOUGHTS ON THE LINEUP OF THESE CHARACTERS AND THIS UNIVERSE AND I AM GOING TO PUT THEM HERE#duke joined batman first at 16 as signal- he's more of a barbara figure than anything else really bc he operates seperately from batman#but still works with him. (instead of we are robin it is we are batman. not as catchy 😔)#but he doesn't take the place of oracle and when bruce goes missing later he's the one who becomes batman. rip duke sorry man 🙏#damian as nightwing obvs#tim as the second robin then the fourth when steph dies to black mask while he's grounded#stephanie brown as the red hood#at least a stand in for him- she goes back to her identity as spoiler#while tim is operating as robin again. after her death he gets kidnapped by the joker becomes jj and shoots him#he's left disabled by the electrocution and torture and can't go out into the field so he becomes oracle#cass is batgirl rn and will still become black bat#and bruce is. u know. bruce#it was always my plan for this fic for jason to be overwhelmed with the guilt and come clean to bruce but because he has a much wider#support system and bruce has now had multiple children who have killed and so it doesn't go WELL but it doesn't go as badly as it would#in canon. bruce tells him he'll always love him but batman and robin cannot kill and jason agrees and thus moves on from robin#i make this sound calm. it would not be calm. but in my mind he's right about this batman and robin SHOULDN'T kill#bruce is also incredibly pissed at Tim and Steph for trying to get Jason to lie about killing a man#Noooot their best look even if their hearts were in the right place#i <3 mess + drama and bitterness#batfam fanfic#jason todd#stephanie brown#tim drake#reverse robins#also i'm not trying to cheapen dick's reasoning for naming himself robin. in my mind the og dick's love for his parents is so strong#it transcends time and space and makes it so that robin is ALWAYS a symbol of love and hope#and so i want to keep that spirit even when he isn't the first robin. later when he joins he will make the title his own#with his own extremely personal meaning behind it#in universe tho damian went out on the first day of spring to symbolize new beginnings#and the papers started calling him robin for the first bird of spring
