What they don’t tell you about doing shit ur bad at for fun is that ur still worried about ppl seeing it 💀💀💀
#my Duke week shit sitting in my sketchbook 💔#sorry babe let him stay there!#I think for rebellion I’m gonna do Duke joins red hood au#remember when Jason asked Tim to be his Robin?#well idk Batman did smth Duke wasn’t fw and he decided to dip and Jason picked him up#not to rant like I like Jason and all but idk how I feel about y’all saying#‘he just kills drug dealers and thugs’#like IK in our minds Hes about community action and shit but canonically#he really just kills ppl and leaves it for the community to deal with#OVERSIMPLIFICATION IK DONT GET MAD ITS JUST NOT ABOUT HIM#anyways the point is I think Duke would give him a more nuanced look on ppl who commit these crimes in the first place#like Jason is very victim focus but Duke is very much about personal responsibility but part of that IS giving ppl the opportunity to grow#part of that IS the reformation of drug dealers and run of the mill thugs and sometimes a warning is all it takes#I think they could be a great contrast to Bruce and tim#in my mind they both obviously care a lot but they also lack so much knowledge on the average citizen#And tim specifically even tho he’s highly compassionate I like the idea of him having low empathy#and in my mind Duke is extremely empathetic but he’s a hardass and when it comes to his expectations#so like let’s look at Harley reformation right? tim wouldn’t FEEL for her like that but he’d be able to provid a lot of room for her to grow#like hed tolerate regression more if that makes sense#Duke would understand her plight and feel for her but he also says that it’s because he understands it that he can’t let shit slide#lowk like bruce….#so when it comes to the red hood thing Duke is like ‘don’t shoot first 🙄’ but also all bets are off when u step outta line bc the fact that#u had the chance to grow and chose not to? he doesn’t like it and it twists later on where Jason’s the one telling Duke that its ok for ppl#to regress and that self improvement isn’t linear for anybody (including him bc the crux of the issue is that Duke is holding ppl to the#standards he holds himself to) I feel like I’m overexplaining badly but like. I will clarify if asked#anyways it doesn’t matter this is staying in the drafts
