quick doods of my favorite crusty hero man + bonus duckling

[spacedace]

I've seen the concept of Jason being adopted by various people other than Bruce while he was still a little tire stealing Crime Ally kid a few times, but I've yet to see anyone put forth the idea of Duke and his family taking him in.

Like, depending on the continuity Jason and Duke are only like 4 or 5 years apart in age, and we know for a fact that Duke was a terrifyingly brilliant kid already shaping up to be able to take down the Riddler in a battle of wits at the age of 9. Now throw in protective older brother Jason into that mix who didn't think twice about trying to steal the tires off the Batmobile and then try and hit Batman with a damn tire iron when he was caught.

Just imagine how terrifying it would be with the two of them growing up constantly feeding each other's unhinged Fight God and the Devil in a Waffle House Parking Lot at 3am and Win energy. Imagine the chaos they would cause. The terror they would strike into the hearts of their enemies- all before Duke ever even gor his powers.

They would be unstoppable. Just a pair of two of the smartest motherfuckers you've ever met who know they're smarter than you, and the only thing sharper than their minds are their vicious verbal take downs.

Also I just have the imagine in my head of Doug Thomas, half asleep early one Saturday morning stumbling into the kitchen after following the smell of breakfast to see his 8 year old son happily stuffing the most delicious looking pancakes imaginable into his mouth. Blinking in confusion as he realizes it's not his beloved wife cooking but some scrawny kid in worn out clothes, covered in engine grease and bruises manning the stove like a seasoned line cook - complete with the most foul mouthed swearing even Doug, a construction worker, has ever heard in his life and a cigarette tucked behind the kids ear.

And Doug has a moment where he's just staring, full on Who's Goddamn White Baby is That? when Duke pipes up to explain:

"This is Jason! I caught him trying to steal your catalytic converter this morning. His mom's dead and his dad is a deadbeat so he's gonna stay with us now!"

And oh. Well. Shit. He knows that look in his son's eye. Knows he's already lost the fight before it evan began. It looks like it's theirs. It's their god damn white baby now.

He's gonna have to call Elaine.

(Elaine, for her part, goes through the full range of human emotions when she gets home to realize that the boy Duke has decided they're adopting is the Todd boy Elaine has been trying to track down for months now.

She's Jason's social worker, not that she's been able to really do her job and help him when he's managed to stay under the radar of every single vaguely responsible adult in a ten mile radius. The one time he had been picked up by one of the few decent cops in the city and Elaine thought she was going to be able to finally finally help him, Jason had managed to climb out of a window of the precinct bathroom and disappear into the night.

He'd managed to steal the hubcaps of six different patrol vehicles while he was at it. Just to rub it in that there was nothing they could do to stop him.

Point was, the kid has been her damn white whale for almost a year. And now she walks into her home after a maddening unhelpful phone call with Doug about needing paperwork to adopt a child only to find the boy she'd spent so long looking for teaching Duke how to take apart and reassemble their toaster in the living room.

She isn't sure if she wants to laugh or cry.

She is sure that there's no way she's going to be able to convince Duke that they can't just adopt his new friend, not when she can tell that both boys have already gotten attached to each other in the scarce few hours they've known one other. Or when her husband is just sitting there eating delicious pancakes with such resignation in his eyes.)

'well if only pony followed darry's conflicting-helicopter parent instructions, then he would be safe from violence that the book has already illustrated as senseless' — some of yall start to sound like ronald reagan with these darry defense posts 😭 i just don't think the "crime" of being 14 and deserving a degree of personal freedom or autonomy is a bad or irresponsible thing for a teen to have actually!!

Prompt 216

“So we all know that Damian is trying to sneak in a new animal, right?” 

 “I mean, yeah, he only starts sneaking around like that when he’s sneaking something he shouldn’t be, and the box was pretty obvious…” 

“Are we going to ask about it or…” 

“Nah, plausible deniability when Alfred or Bruce inevitably finds it.” 

Later, Duke will regret listening to Dick and Steph, because there is now a massive fucking dragon glowering down at all of them from the back yard with nine heads. Each of which do not seem pleased. It might be time to question what Damian might have brought home this time…

a lil something i made🤭

There are so many books that I've read for school over the years and thought "Hmm, I'd probably actually enjoy this if I wasn't forced to tear through it under unreasonable time constraints without being able to digest it, just to develop analysis that mostly aligns with what my teacher wants to hear rather than what I think,"

feeling weird tonight. was my last first day of undergrad, and so now it’s spring quarter and my final project before i graduate is officially started.

was also my first class session without the same group of people i’ve been working with all year, new faces, new students, and a new professor. for most of you reading this you’re probably like yeah, no shit, but my school is weird and my last class spanned over two quarters and we all got really close and waking into class and not seeing the same faces and the same people i had grown accustomed to seeing every morning was weird and quite frankly really heartbreaking.

my favorite young butch lesbian i loved to talk about disablity justice and stone butch blues and judith butler wasn’t there (they’re 19? 20? one of the smartest people i know)

my favorite freshman with debilitating anxiety and perfectionism who reminded me so much of myself at his age wasn’t there stressing about a paper that isn’t due for another four weeks

my friend wasn’t sitting a few seats down from me yapping about her shitty ex boyfriend and giving us all the latest updates

my best friend wasn’t sitting in the seat next to me waiting to debrief after in class conversations or drawing little doodles of cats (this one hurts the most- and i realized i was going to miss her but it didn’t truly sink in until sitting in class today and realized i wasn’t gonna see them walk through the door- i wanna cry about it still)

i looked over at the board in class and instead of it being filled with silly doodles of flowers and snoopys and cats in all shapes and sizes and random sea creatures it was wiped completely empty.

my favorite professor was not there anymore to compare notes with over breaks, only accessible by email now

it seems silly to be so upset by a change in class schedule but this class, as maddening as it was, allowed me to fully come into myself this year. i formed a lot of relationships in this class that will stick with me forever and i learned so much about myself and my relation to disablity, academia and how i interact with the world.

i am so excited for this quarter. i really really am. but i’m also still actively mourning the loss of the community i built and lost and i don’t think that’s irrational. or maybe it is and i’m just crazy.

You know what @f4nd0m-fun I literally finished this last night, so here, have the lil baby hydra. From several prompts.

They're still mostly baby colors, which is all monochrome, but are juuust starting to get more colors like their underbellies and their heads are starting to lighten up, but will start shifting color eventually.

Which makes me wonder what kind of thing might happen if someone tries to study the realm hydras....

(Also have a prompt in the tags lol)
