you know something I don't understand is how people make post red robin tim and dick like super angsty and have them avoid each other and not talk to each other when tim was out there calling dick his best friend on panel
diluc is ALWAYS the one who seems to (outwardly) not care about kaeya and yet he kept all his letters
also dont even get me STARTED on the letter Elzer wrote to diluc
kaeya staying there at the winery for a bit while diluc was gone???? staying in HIS OLD ROOM to be specific???????? kaeya misses his family SO much im sobbing screaming CRYING
kaeya would pace around outside. i bet he was remembering what it was like when he was a kid and he's wishing he could turn back the clock and make things better again
im literally never going to stop thinking about this my brain is full of worms and nothing else
i rant abt this a lot on twitter but like. why do ppl think thistle is an adult. like genuinely. its SO clear hes still young. its so frustrating and stupid. like yes hes old as fuck but hes still just a child. not a small child, but definitely still middle school age. the dungeon messed with aging. PLUS elves age way slower than humans.
and like. just fucking look at him.
im being 100% serious here.
how is ANYONE looking at this and going "ya hes an adult". get fucking real. he is eating gogurt. he shld be at school doodling on his tests and being offputting and friendless and eating alone at lunch.
do you think ryoku kui wldve drawn this if thistle was supposed to be an adult. genuinely. look at him and falin's mother-son relationship then look me in the eye and tell me thistle is a grown adult man. fuck off.
I wanted to put Haruka & Mikoto's sprites next to each other because I must make 0109 siblings content!!! there is hardly any! and then this happened. It looks like Mikoto is holding Haruka (kind of) and petting his head
now I imagined Haruka being anxious (because of his expression) and going to seek comfort & advice from Mikoto, who hugs him and pets his head.... 0109 siblings infested my brain sorry
haven't checked the wiki in a bit and omg. teehee im normal. THEYRE BROTHERS. doing backflips. ignore my scribbles i got excited and the wiki wasnt emotive enough about this alias
I’m thinking about Jason’s death. But more specifically Dick’s reaction.
Content warning for Bruce being a bad parent and Dick hallucinating Jason. Along with canon-typical violence/death
I think Dick was mad at first. He and Bruce were as close as two traumatized kids can be in a pseudo father-son relationship. It wasn’t healthy. Dick parented himself more often than not during his days as Bruce’s ward.
When Jason came into the picture he was angry. What was so different about Jason? Why did Bruce adopt him and not Dick? Bruce always treated Jason like a son. But not Dick. Not until it was a too late.
It’s not until after years of therapy that Dick realizes while Bruce can be a good person, he was a bad father.
Jason had everything Dick always wanted but acted like it was never enough. Dick thought he was spoiled and told him as much. Especially during arguments.
Just a little before Jason’s death, Dick finally started to come around.
Just like Bruce, he’d been too late though.
It kills him inside- to know that he became just like the man he swore to not to be.
He mourns Jason. Sees him in his sleep. In the mirror. In dark windows.
Jason haunts him for years- reminding him that he was too late.
When Dick finally starts to forgive himself -when ghost Jason finally starts sounding more like the kid he knew and less like Dick’s inner thoughts- he’s too late again.
Because Jason is back. Broken and different, but back. He’s angry- just as Dick had been those years previous.
It kills him to watch Jason do the same things he did. To call the latest Robin a replacement. To fight and scream with Bruce. To try and understand why he wasn’t good enough.
Years pass before they finally talk. It takes some liquor to loosen his lips. But when it finally happens, it’s like a dam breaking.
Dick sobs. He begs Jason for forgiveness. For being a bad brother. A bad mentor. For not being there for him.
Jason doesn’t forgive him immediately. He never even says it.
But he shows it.
Jason makes him ciambellone for his birthday. Keeps his favorite herbal teas stocked in safe houses. He lets Dick drag him to movie nights and game nights.
Jason listens when Dick talks about Blockbuster. And Dick listens when Jason describes what it’s like to die.
They always had been brothers and always will be. Both are fiercely loyal to each other. And there’s a silent promise they’ve made to ensure the rest of the Bats never end up like them.
