Discussion time with Johnny

[melonsinthesky]

Here goes nothing, so here are some friends and more family of Damian (Jon's not his only friend)✨️

In case you ever want to read the comics I included some spoilers ig and pictures too!

Maya Ducard (aka Nobody)

So, Damian killed her father. Yikes. He is eventually forgiven in the comic series, Robin: Son of Batman. Which features one of the few depictions of brown Damian

She's his big sister (Damian being 10 y.o. in R:SoB and Maya 14 y.o.)

She was the first person of his siblings that he called by their name.

She helps Damian with undercover missions (as seen in Supersons), is a proficient fighter, also an ex-assassin, and the voice of reason.

Maya is black-latina.

Maya hasn't appeared in the recent timeline, last she was seen with Kathy (aka Beacon) in their own base.

If I'm not mistaken there's one maribat fic that's got her

She's family 💖

Suren Darga

Like Damian, they both are initially interested into following their father's footsteps.

The Darga and the al Ghuls are rivals. But DC hasn't mentioned again since R:SoB

He's arab too! Like Damian.

Suren is a magician too.

If you think the al Ghuls are stuck in past, the Darga's are way more in the past.

He's also pretty exaggerated. I think he was dead but got resuscitated (it's been years since I've read R:SoB and my English wasn't as good as it is now)

Damian relates and cares for him in his own way.

Colin Wilkes

He's an orphan, who's also a meta-human. Colin was experimented on, and when he's using his powers he doesn't look alike, he goes by Abuse.

He's a little bit like Jon, except that Jon is a little shit who never hesitates to fight Damian. Colin is a nice kid.

He appears a lot in Li'l Gotham. Damian takes him to the BatCave, and even lets his friend use a batsuit.

Colin hasnt appeared in a while because DC doesn't like Damian having friends or something.

Mia "Maps" Mizoguchi

She's from the comic series "Gotham Academy" (currently working on a fic that has the GA kids)

I never understood if Maps got a crush on Damian or on his weapon(?) But they're cute together

She's a bit eccentric, likes to wear suits instead of dresses.

Maps like cartography, that's where the nickname Maps comes from.

She gets into trouble a lot. Dreams to be Robin, well she kindda is.

Maps as Robin was a thing during the We Are Robin arc, and on one more newish solo issue which probably means there's more of Gotham Academy in the works!!!

I've read one or two maribat fics that feature her!

Kathy Branden (aka Beacon)

She's actually not Damian’s friend, she's Jon's.

Kathy is Jon's neighbor from when they lived in Hamilton County and he went by Jonathan Samuel White.

She's an alien like Jonny.

Seemingly DC was aiming to pair them.

So, Kathy and Damian develop a friendly relationship and ofc they're allies.

She lives on her own, in her farm along with Maya.

Mara al Ghul

Cousin of Damian

Damian left her blind on one eye while after sparring she launched a dagger at him and he did the same to her but :/

She's the daughter of Dusan al Ghul (aka White Ghost), older than Talia but because of his albinism he was discarded of being the heir.

They have reconciled

Athanasia al Ghul

She just appears in Injustice and she's Damian's bio-sister.

Daughter of Bruce and Talia.

She was kept hidden while Damian was away with Bruce.

I guess, Flatline (a love interest) and Connor Hawk enter into this category too but I don't particularly care for them. Flatline is a new character from the Robin solo and Connor was revived(? for the solo too ig

Here's a pic that's got Flatline, Connor, and Rose too bc she was important too

[bat-stuff]

Collin Wilkes headcanons: “He uses flirting as a defense mechanism. Not only that but he flirts with his friends just to make them uncomfortable and the closer he gets with the person the kinkier the comments”, can we get a post of the friend group reacting to Collin’s flirting in tier-wise-listing “least close with-to closest with” and how easy the friend he’s the least close with has it vs. the friends he’s closest too and how badly they have it dealing with his flirting. Not making assumptions but I am assuming he’s closest with Damian so it’ll be fun to see how you write him reacting to it please????

Of course!

------------------

Ok, so we've already covered that Colin enjoys teasing and flirting with his friends constantly but we haven't talked about how far he actually goes

Essentially, the more comfortable he is with said person the farther he feels he can push them.

So let's start with the person he flirts with the least: Jon Kent

The resident golden boy of the group, he could do no wrong

Now I'm not saying Jon and Colin aren't besties, because they totally are, but I see Jon and Colin having absolutely opposite viewpoints on life which makes it harder for them to relate to each other.

Like, Jon grew up in a country home with a happy family and was taught the best manners and to never judge a book by its cover.

Colin on the other hand never had much of a family or a home. He really just raised himself and took every questionable encounter with a person as a sign of danger.

Anyway, Colin teases Jon very subtly.

Mostly because he doesn't want to offend Jon and literally anything sexual just goes over his head

Colin: Hey Jonny boy, looking fine as always in that flannel.

Jon, utterly confused: oh thanks, you too!

Colin, now also confused: You’re welcome?

Jon just doesn't get it and Colin feels genuinely bad about it

Colin has tried so many times to joke around with Jon

Jon Kent is just too pure for this world

Really he doesn’t tease Jon that much but that doesn’t mean he isn’t thankful to have him in his life

On the outside he jokes that Jon just doesn’t quite understand (which he really doesn’t) but inside he desperately doesn’t want to make Jon uncomfortable

Colin hasn’t had many positive friends like Jon in his life and he doesn’t want to lose that so he goes easy on Jon

Colin does frequently call Jon “Princess” and other random pet names

“Baby girl” is his favorite

---------------------

Next up is Billy

Colin and Billy have an interesting relationship given they aren’t that close because they don’t see each other very much

Colin just feels really comfortable around Billy

They sort-of get along, because Colin just destroys Billy

He flirts with Billy relentlessly, holding back absolutely nothing

And Billy hates it

And I mean he despises it

Billy doesn’t ever tell Colin to stop though because it wouldn’t mean anything in the end

Colin would find another method of verbally kinky jokes to torture Billy

Billy also knows that its just Colin showing his love

Either way, Colin uses any possible thing he can think of 

He almost baits Billy into responding to a normal comment and then goes in for the kill

He just throws whatever pops into his head first and hopes it will be enough to get a reaction out of Billy

And every time Billy has to retaliate with some offended comment

Colin: I like your shirt

Billy: Oh thanks I got it at Walmart-

Colin: You should take it off *winks*

Billy: You have got to be kidding me

Colin: You’re right, I should take you back to my apartment first

Billy: No you should get help, Colin

If Colin catches Billy on a good day, he’ll flirt back

And Colin can’t respond because he’ll just blush

If anyone flirts with Colin, and it doesn’t matter who they are, their sexuality or their gender, he will just combust 

Billy has only recently discovered this and now uses it to his advantage to shut Colin up

In the end they are good friends, even when Colin insists on making Billy’s life hell

---------------------

Last but certainly not least is Damian

Colin and Damian have the strongest relationship 

Colin was Damian’s first friend, the first person he truly trusted

Which was probably a mistake on his part because Colin doesn’t even think about being subtle with Damian

Damian is grateful to have Colin in his life, but the pain that comes from speaking with this ripped orphan teenager ruins his reputation as a cool, mysterious, rich boy

It is impossible to escape Colin Wilkes when you live in the same city and go to the same school as him

Damian can’t have a single conversation with any other student without Colin materializing out of literally no where to wrap an arm around him and join in on the debate

There have been times where Colin has kissed Damian on the cheek and called Damian “His Man” 

The controversy this causes with the press is absolutely hilarious

Gotham Gazette headlines read “Damian Wayne and Possible Secret Boyfriend...” and at every charity event Damian has to explain that he in fact is not dating this ginger boy, Colin is just his overly confident friend who likes to annoy him

Colin finds these ordeals hilarious and doesn’t stop 

And Damian has tried so hard to get him to chill but Colin just goes even harder the next time

Colin’s flirting with Damian can be downright dirty

And most of the time, Damian has no reaction

Most of the time

There are those very few times where Colin is like:

Colin: I would let you rail me, Damian

Damian: Whatever gets you to shut up

And Colin’s entire thought process is out of commission for the rest of the day

As I’ve mentioned, Colin doesn’t take flirting that’s directed towards him well, he just shuts down

And really if Damian Wayne were to say that to anyone, no matter who they are they would have the exact same reaction.

I mean, it’s Damian Wayne

[antanddecforever]

Since the next series of takeaway is the last for a while, I hope they change things up a bit. Maybe bigger, crazier Ant v Dec challenges? I’d love for ant and dec to be the ones saying the stuff to strangers in get out of my ear! Or even some celebs get their own back and prank the boys undercover like Jonny Wilkes did years ago!

I also don’t really want them to do the last show from America or somewhere other than the studio. I feel like the energy and excitement doesn’t come across as well when they’re far away. 🤔

Just my thoughts. If anyone else has any thoughts on this I’d love to hear them 😊

For my own personal reference, I'm putting a list of such books below to hold myself accountable.

Edit: Now the end of 2023, and here's a breakdown of my goal to read books I already had access to at the start of 2023:

[h1p3rn0v4]

Los europeos las apodaron las 'amazonas' y fue un médico e historiador francés, Edouard Dunglas, quien registró las hazañas de la guerrera fumadora de pipa.

Su desafío duró poco tiempo, pero sus acciones sirvieron para ilustrar el destino final de las amazonas de Dahomey.

A pesar de toda su valentía y habilidad, esta fuerza de lucha femenina se desharía antes del final del siglo XIX por la misma razón que las de muchas otras poblaciones indígenas del mundo: una potencia de fuego superior.

Las agojie vestían uniformes a rayas azules y blancas o túnicas de color herrumbre y llevaban consigo una gran cantidad de adornos y amuletos en sus cinturones.

Estaban armadas con garrotes, cuchillos, lanzas y una selección de armas de fuego compradas a comerciantes europeos, incluidos mosquetes de chispa, carabinas y trabucos.

Pero su arma más temida era una espada parecida a un machete de un metro de largo.

Era tan afilada que, cuando una segadora lo empuñaba con las dos manos, podía cortar a un hombre por la mitad con un solo golpe, lo que la convertía en el arma ideal para las agojie cuando estaban en guerra con reinos rivales pues recolectaban las cabezas de los enemigos caídos.

Naum Gabo - Ana One - Glasgow electronica duo’s 20-year retrospective LP (Optimo Music)

Ana One is a new compilation on Optimo Music which assembles 10 tracks by Glasgow’s Naum Gabo (Jonnie Wilkes & James Savage). Spanning 20 years, it exposes the many slants to Naum Gabo’s sound and is testament to their unwavering commitment to remaining unattached to any scene. We hear early unreleased lo-fi post punk disco experiment “Red Cones” (2001) and one of their releases on Kompakt Extra from the notorious “Speicher” series - “Galore” (2004). There is film music in the form of "Dino", evidence of their inter-planetary synth prog adventures like "Black Lab", a cover version of Scottish new wave band Fingerprintz' "Wet Job" and exclusive new productions like Sleep C'Mon (2021 Bass Mix). The ten tracks are lovingly re-mastered by James (conveniently the mastering engineer for the majority of the label's output).

世界最遅tulaladd2020best DL list

年間ベストを始めて以来、初の事態。

なんと9か月遅れのポスト。あと3か月で次の年ベスの発表時期じゃないですか…唯一にして最大の理由が、もちろんあるにはある。

暗夜行路のような唄声が車内から眺める某庁舎前の雪景色と甘酸っぱい感情を喚起させるRY Xや、このリストには登場しない自分用に作ったプレイリスト（日本語ラップ編、シティーポップ編）をひとりで何度も諳んじては胸を焦がした。それらの音楽が本来持つ資質にプラスして思い出補正でランクインした作品がいくつかある（最たるものがサントラ部門かな）。そんな変化があった2020年でした。

それを除けば、音楽ライフは基本的に前年を踏襲。つまり引き続きapple music依存型で、DIG活動もほほ休止（荷物の山に埋もれたタンテをセッティングし直せるまともな精神状態じゃなかった…）。落第生の体たらくをここ何年も続けてるわけです。とはいえ昨年と比べれば、リスト入り作品の数が格段に増えた＝それなりに楽しい音楽生活が営めていたのも事実。その充実を支えたものがアルゴリズムって点がものすごく納得はいかないけれど。（毎年書いてるけど、手当たり次第サブスクを横断する中で「もう一度聴きたい」と思えたものが以下のDLリスト。感覚的には昨年より緩い5枚に1枚。それでも昨年比3倍の約250枚！）

いつまで延命できるか分からないローカルラジオを継続できたのもラッキーだった。相変わらずみんなとあーだこーだ言いながらいろんな曲を聴く時間が音楽ライフを豊かにしてくれました。感謝。過去最高に音楽への熱が薄いテキストになっちゃうけど、9か月遅れだと致し方なしか。

三ツ星評価のうち、エル・ミシェルズ・アフェアのシングルはラジオの一戸くんレコメン、今年も熱量が持続しているサウスロンドン・ジャズ・シーンのマンスール・ブラウンEPはおなじみWOZNIAK星くんのオススメ、ほかにも人から教わってお気に入りになった作品が少なくないのは、サブスクじゃ届かないリアルの強みが感じられて、そこだけは希望があるのかな。

特筆するとすれば、Bartosz KruczynskiのEARTH TRAX以来追い続けてきたリズムセクション・インターナショナルが、旬のサウスロンドン・シーンと地下ハウス/テクノ・シーンのメルティング・ポットだったことが分かって興味が再燃させられた個人的な事件。そのセンセーションのグラウンド・ゼロにあたるTHE COLOURS THAT RISEの発見が今年No.1の成果かな。

唯一職場で音楽談義ができるために相互レコメンに特化したLINEを展開中のT氏に教えられたエディ・チャコンのアルバム、そのエディの復活劇を手掛け、若林恵さん経由でずっぽりハマったソランジュ『A Seat At The Table』の禅的ミニマリズのデザイナーでもあることが事後に発覚したジョン・キャロル・カービーの2人は、今年ならではの幸福な時間の中で何度も繰り返し聴いた一生の思い出確定盤。ジョンなんか3カテゴリーに分かれてのランクインだもんな。　

さて2021年。あと3か月しかない。今年はやる？やらない？いろいろ越えるべきものが多くすぎてそれ以前の問題かもしれないなけど。
