to me the temporary rift between dick & tim in the beginning of red robin can really be summed up as follows:

dick's actions & decisions at an extremely sensitive period are unfortunately actions and decisions that would be uniquely hurtful to tim based on tim's own personal history, complexes, insecurities, & fears

tim's actions & decisions at an extremely sensitive period are unfortunately actions and decisions that would be uniquely hurtful to dick based on dick's own personal history, complexes, insecurities, & fears

people generally aren't taking actions or making decisions specifically *at* another person, even if those actions or decisions end up feeling or being hurtful to someone else. everyone is the main character of their own personal story. and the reason dick & tim were able to overcome the fight completely with just a line reaffirming that despite the mutual hurt, they're brothers who will always be there for each other (which!! that line alone is actual far more of a confirmed resolution than we usually get in comics!! it is an absolute gift!!) is because once you get out of the fog and the acute issues that are heightening people's emotions settle, you do understand that hurtful things aren't always personal attacks especially when it is with a cherished and beloved family member.

You know I'm always going to ask for more Who Did This To You

thank you, friend 🥰

who did this to you (pt.4) // tales of blue part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | read on ao3

Eddie has never felt as displaced in his own home as he does right now, watching Robin’s back as she’s standing on the front steps, shoulders all the way up to her ears, just looking out at the trailer park that seems so eerie tonight. Liminal, somehow. It would make a great painting. Caspar David Friedrich’s Man above the Sea of Fog, but it’s Girl above the Trailer Park, painted in ugly, fluorescent light. Waiting for her best friend to come to someone else’s home. 

He wants to say something, but somehow telling her, Hey, your fear looks vaguely artistic really doesn’t seem appropriate right now. 

Something about it will forever be burned into his memory, though; from the way her fists are clenched around the sleeves of his black hoodie that swallows her even more now than it did on the floor, to the way the neighbour’s front porch light is flickering, leaving the mess of her hair looking like a wavering halo of fear and tension. 

He swallows his comments, remaining silently frozen to the spot. Not sure if he should move. Not sure if he’s allowed to, or if everything and everyone should be suspended in time until Harrington is back. Until he is okay. Until Robin Buckley is her jittery, restless self again.

no coherent thoughts, only the idea of nancy being thoroughly distracted by robin taking a lollipop apart with her tongue that she trails off mid-sentence in a conversation with someone else

January 2024: Fog, Birds & Glorious Green

Saturday's rainy, foggy walk:

It doesn't look like anything from here:

But this is the reality of melting snow & drizzly rain. I see one or two Wilson's Snipes almost every time I walk here this time of year. I've tried to take photos of the snipes on multiple occasions but the photos were all blurry sacks of suck. Your average Bigfoot photo is crystal clear in comparison. Snipes are fast, camouflaged & fly in a natural zigzag pattern. I imagine the only way I'll ever get a decent photo of one is if I find it dead on the ground:

First alien abduction of 2024. The only thing left was this poor bastard's hat on the driveway:

Bought a new bird feeder since the gray squirrels jacked the old one up & this warbler was the first one to try it out. Birds can be leery of new feeders because their dinosaur ancestors imparted to them the wisdom that all new things aren't necessarily good. After all, that meteorite was something new & nothing good:

With the freezing temperatures gone for awhile, we uncovered our cool season vegetables so they could enjoy some unfiltered light:

Brussels a'sprouting:

Not ready yet but this broccoli is getting there:

These two heads of cabbage are looking good:

Fog Robin's Egg Blue (#e0c6ff to #03d8bb)

[immobiliter]

new pride icon!! since i’m going all in on robin this month it seems appropriate lmao, plus this is me still trying to fend off the urge to put her on her own blog because i do not have time for three blogs i do not

also speaking of my lil baby lesbian, i have updated her bio page to reflect some st4 related developments and i’ve also added a couple of disclaimers: the first is about nancy/robin as a ship which i am absolutely not opposed to, but it’s not something i’m ever gonna autoship. imo it would need considerable development & plotting and i will elaborate on this when i eventually write a meta on the robin & nancy dynamic this season. the second point is that i lean on rebel robin (robin’s companion book/podcast) to supplement my own portrayal only in so far as it doesn’t contradict any of my existing headcanons. i’m fortunate that st4 has actually only affirmed some of my headcanons rather than blowing them completely out of the water, but since the companion novel is a supporting piece of canon, i’m picking and choosing what i like and don’t like from it.

what if who did this to you part 4 is tinged in the pale blue of max klinger’s l‘heure bleu and what if it’s so liminal it doesn’t feel real because the after never does when you don’t even know the before, and what if robin turns into a caspar david friedrich painting and what if steve becomes the blue that depressed robin but she loves him anyway and what if i just lose my mind about them

@entitytaken​ asked: ∗ o8﹕ sender shows up at receiver’s home late at night . (Steve and Robin)

non-verbal actions || NO LONGER ACCEPTING

🍦Robin yawned softly, rubbing her eye as she made her way to the front door. Her home was a simple one story, after all she was only living here with her father as her mother had passed away when she was young. Her father was out of town for a few days, so she didn’t have to worry about him waking up and wondering who the fuck was knocking at this hour. Opening the door, she blinked and squinted as she looked at him; confusion on her face.

“Steve...?”

When did Tarhos realize he was in love? - medieval verse

I was something very slow, he only expected Haruko to stay with the company for a month if that before getting on a boat and sailing back home, but the longer he and Haru shared their space and grew to learn about each other it got him wishing he wouldn't leave. But he's seen plenty of caged birds in life escorting nobles and fighting their wars, he knew why Haru stayed near him. He was intimidating, respected for the most part, and treated him like a person not an object.

And as weeks turned to months he found himself falling in a pretty big way, he was head over heels for him always affectionately calling him his princess or maiden, telling him all sorts of things that'd make anyone else cringe, but it meant the world to them. And his heart fluttered every time his affections were returned, but really- I think what really cemented it in his head that yeah he's in love and no one can take that from him is when Haru tied that piece of wheat around his finger and Tarhos promised he'd marry him when they both were free.

Though like yeah, he still uses she/her pronouns when referring to him to other people and calling him wife, but it's mainly just to protect him and Haru always has dressed like a woman anyway because of how he was taken when his town was destroyed.

Seeing Double

Part One, Part Two, Part Three

Summary: A ghost who looks a lot like Phantom comes to him in search of protection, and their newest member instantly agrees. He calls her his little sister, and sooner or later, Phantom also might end up with a new brother.

*bangs pots and pans together* @vixen-uchiha, @starlightcat04, @blueliac, COME GET Y’ALL’S JUICE!!!

Phantom smiled to himself looking up at the night sky. The event he’d been waiting for finally started a few minutes ago, the top right “corner” of the moon was dark with the tiniest hint of red on the “edge”. He was pretty grateful for being allowed to go outside for the lunar eclipse. Especially since the other members of Young Justice got to tag along as well. He could hear Wally explaining the specifics of the event to Conner below, but ignored it.

Phantom was well above the trees so he could get a perfect view of the lunar eclipse, so it wasn’t very hard to ignore them. Especially since he was so happy about what he was going to see soon. And by soon, he meant an hour or so. Since they were so far out from the city the civilization in general, Phantom also had an amazing view of the stars. It seemed like every second he spent looking at them instead of the moon, a new one would pop into existence. Or he’d recognize another constellation.

He leaned back so he was floating with his back facing the ground and crossed one of his legs over the other. He folded his arms over his abdomen and smiled fondly, acting as if he was laying on solid ground instead of being in midair. Then a small blue fog of smoke came out of his mouth.

Phantom quickly swung himself upright and looked around. He really didn’t want to deal with any ghost fights right now, he just wanted some peace. As he scanned the area around him, he noticed something in the distance. It definitely wasn’t a star, and it was too small to be a pod. It might be the ghost he had sensed being nearby.“Phantom?” Robin called out. The ghostly hero glanced down below.”Everything alright?” He asked.

Phantom nodded and went back to looking at the ghost.”Yeah, just a second. I think I see something.” He yelled back. He squinted his eyes to try to see if he could recognize the ghost. It didn’t take long for him to figure out who it was, and when he did, a huge smile broke out across his face.

“Danielle!!!” Phantom called out.

He quickly rushed towards his younger clone. He didn’t notice his friends calling for him, but he noticed that Dani had definitely spotted him since she was also hurdling towards him. They reached each other somewhere midway and Phantom slowed down enough before they practically collided with each other. Dani didn’t really slow down as soon as him and knocked him back a little, but he wasn’t too fazed by the impact and wrapped his arms around her.

He hugged his sister considerably tighter than he usually hugs people, and spun around a bit as a small way to release some of the new, excited energy. Dani laughed a little as they spun, then he stopped.”How have you been?!” He asked excitedly.

“I’ve been great!!” She said. They both ended the hug with big grins on their face, very happy to see the other after months had passed. Phantom was about to ask her about her time apart from him, but she opened her mouth to speak.”I’ve seen so many cool things that I wanna tell you about, and guess what?!“ She asked. She held her mouth open and pointed at the upper part. That’s when Phantom noticed her canine teeth were a bit bigger than a regular human’s.”I’ve grown fangs, like yours!” She exclaimed. The older halfa gasped softly. He wasn’t quite sure what emotion had just swelled up in his chest a little, but he’s felt it before, and it was definitely positive.

Was it pride? Was he proud of her? He wasn’t sure if that was it or not, but the feeling remained.”That’s so cool, Dani! They’re fang-tastic.” He said.

Dani’s grin grew a little bit wider when he said that.”Why, fang you!” She said. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically from pure excitement to what looked like distrust. Her eyes looked at something behind him, and Phantom quickly turned around to see what or who it was that caused her reaction.

Megan was floating there.”Who’s your friend, Phantom?” She asked kindly. Phantom calmed down a little and smiled again. He glanced back at Dani again and noticed how she looked a little confused, but still defensive. He floated back to be next to Dani.

“Hey, Megan! This is my little sister. She has the same powers as me.” He said. Him talking with his friend so calmly and casually seemed to help Dani relax. Which was what he was hoping for.

Megan’s smile grew as she looked over at the other halfa.”Really?! You’ve never mentioned your relatives before!” She said. She held a hand out.”It’s really nice to meet you, Danielle. I’m Megann! Well, Megann is my Earth name.” She introduced herself. Dani glanced over at Phantom. He knew what it was she was asking and gave her an encouraging nod. With the affirmation that it was safe, Dani smiled and shook Megann’s hand.”Nice to meet you too.” She said with a small smile. For a moment, Phantom was happy that they hadn’t met her in some kind of fight or had a misunderstanding. Then he remembered something pretty important. Not wanting to make it awkward, though, he decided to try to play it cool.

He gave Megann a slightly apologetic look.”I’m sorry, but would you mind letting us chat for a bit? We have a lot to catch up on and talk about, and something tells me it’s going to get a little personal.” He asked politely. He tried to make it understandable and reasonable, and to him, that sounded like a good explanation. He’s been pretty private about his life before he joined Young Justice, anyways.

Megann nodded.”Oh, yeah, of course! I’ll let the others know what you’re doing if they ask.” She said. The older halfa agreed with that idea and nodded to show it. The martian turned around and flew back to the others, and once she was gone, Phantom glanced over at Dani.

She turned to him at the same time, also looking pretty serious. Seemed like they both had something to say.”You go first.” Phantom said. Dani remained silent for an extra minute. Phantom waited until an idea of what it was entered his head, and he didn’t like it one bit.”It wasn’t Vlad, was it?” He asked. Dani shook her head.

“I was... I was spotted by one of them.”

Those words briefly made Phantom’s core stop. The sweet moment suddenly turned way more sour than he was expecting. His eyes widened in shock and horror and they both floated in silence for a while. With each passing second, Dani looked more and more like she’d start to cry. Tears were slowly starting to form, but she was holding back.”I don’t want them to catch me... We both know I can’t go into the Ghost Zone, so... I didn’t know what else to do.” She said. Her voice came close to cracking at the end.

Phantom quickly pulled his mind back together. An urge to protect his sister began to block out the fear he also felt for her and he pulled her into a hug.”They won’t get the chance. I’ll do everything to make sure of it.” He said. He wasn’t entirely sure how he’d be able to actually protect her against part of the government, but he wasn’t lying. He was going to do whatever he could to protect her from the Guys In White. Dani hugged back.”Thank you.” She said.

“Anytime.” Phantom said. It was practically obvious to him. As long as his core was still vibrating and his heart was still beating, he’d protect her against anything.”But listen, my team doesn’t know I’m a halfa. They only think I’m a ghost. I think you should say the same.” He said. Dani nodded.

They soon ended the hug and Dani looked better than before. Phantom noticed something above and pointed behind her.”Look at that.” He said. Dani followed his gaze and let out a small, amazed “ohh” under her breath when she saw it. The lunar eclipse wasn’t complete yet, but it was getting there. A part of it was still white, but the majority of it was getting more and more red, and even looked a little orange.”I saw one of those before. Lunar eclipse, right?” She asked.

“Mhmm.” Phantom confirmed.

The two remained there for only a few minutes, watching the moon change ever so slightly, before Dani filled the silence again.”Can we meet the rest of your teammates?” She asked, turning to face him.

“Duhh! This way.” Phantom said, then flew to where his friends had set up camp.

It was a pretty short flight, and once there, his teammates were already looking at them. The group had used Megan’s bioship to fly out an hour or so away from the mountain and brought their own tents, and obviously some campfire snacks along with other necessities. They were all aligned in a circle with a sort of “entrance” facing the direction of the bioship. Phantom landed with Dani close behind and glanced back at her to make sure she wouldn’t get overwhelmed or anything. He wasn’t entirely sure how good her social skills were. She looked a little bit surprised, but overall okay. Phantom turned to his team.”Hey, guys! Hope you don’t mind one more.” He said, gesturing towards his sister. Dani smiled and waved at them.

Megan was the first of them to speak.”Not at all! Come on over, the eclipse is getting closer.” She said. Dani accepted the invitation and began walking over to them. Phantom obviously followed.

He noticed Conner looking a little surprised, but brushed it off since everyone seemed a bit surprised to learn that he apparently had a sister. Dani floated off the ground to be more at eye level with his friends.”How come all of your friends are taller than me?” She asked, glancing back at Phantom. He just shrugged and grinned.”I guess you just got the short end of the stick.” He said. Dani rolled her eyes and looked back at them.

“I’m Danielle! It’s nice to meet all of my brother’s new teammates.” She said. Robin held his hand out and Dani accepted it.

“It’s nice to meet you too. I’m Robin. That’s Wally, Artemis, Conner, Kaldur, and you’ve already met Megan.” He said. Phantom leaned closer to Dani and pointed at Wally.

“He doesn’t really believe in ghosts, so feel free to bug him when he’s not training or on missions.” He whispered.

Wally glared at him and Robin and Artemis both muffled a laugh behind their hands.”Hey!” Wally snapped. Dani gasped almost slightly offended, then grinned mischievously.

“Oh, I’d love to!” She said. Before she said something else, though, Conner spoke up.

“Megan told us you’re his little sister, but I didn’t expect you to look practically just like our friend. You could be mistaken for twins if it wasn’t for the age difference.” He said. He didn’t seem upset, and Phantom was a bit relieved about it. He didn’t think that Conner would start anything, but he had anger issues and had... negative reactions to being reminded that he’s a clone of someone who doesn’t like him.

Dani shrugged a little. “Well, yeah! I’m his clone, so of course I look like him and have similar powers.“ She said. The camp went quiet. The atmosphere wasn’t exactly heavy or intense, but it certainly wasn’t as happy and calm as before. Dani noticed the change and at first was confused, then she started to grow nervous. She glanced between Phantom’s teammates.

Finally, one of them spoke.“You said she’s your little sister.” Wally said. Phantom immediately hopped onto the defensive, but tried to remember about their treatment towards Conner and not mistake his confusion in his voice for something negative.

Dani seemed to make that mistake, though, since she began floating closer to him with a pretty nervous expression.”Yeah, because she is. Just because there’s no legal documentation or something doesn’t mean she can’t be my family.” Phantom said. Dani stopped right next to him and nodded in agreement. To her surprise and not her big brother’s, his friends all seemed almost a little heart warmed by this. Conner just looked surprised.

“That’s nice of you. To give her a family.” Kaldur said.

“I don’t see why I wouldn’t, but thanks?” Phantom said. Dani suddenly flew upwards and looked at the sky.

“Enough with the sentimental stuff, we’re going to miss it!” She said. The older halfa quickly remembered the reason they’d come outside in the first place and let out a small “oh”. He followed her lead and smiled at the moon once he was above the trees.

It was now completed and fully red. Sure, there was still a tiny bit of lighter red, but the huge majority looked a lot like blood. It was a little creepy, but Phantom still couldn’t help but admire it. It was amazing, and made him almost forget about the talk he’d need to have with Kaldur and Red Tornado, and possibly the rest of the league later. He’d think about that after the eclipse was over. For now, he was just going to enjoy the sight.
