“Over there is Drake, he’s with us because JL Light kept saying no to the teenage group so now they made him my and JLD’s problem. Also he kept trying to raise the dead. And kept succeeding.”

“It’s not my fault it’s so easy,” Drake muttered without looking away from his project. “And Batman wasn’t dead the last time. You bring back three people and suddenly everyone thinks you’re a budding necromancer. It shouldn’t be my fault I’m using the available resources for the best solution.”

Constantine somehow looked even more dead than Elle as he pointed to the teenager that had taken up residence on the counter, the rest of the space covered with no less than four laptops. “Do not see him as a role model. He broke reality that first time.”

Man, she already knew they were going to get along like a house on fire. Elle waved cheerfully at Drake. “Quack.” She said. Constantine just sighed and went for his lighter.

Drake looked at her in befuddlement. “Quack?”

“A drake is a duck yeah? So, quack.”

“I prefer the drakes being dragons route.” He said. “More mysterious and powerful.”

“Ah. Rawr then.” The lesser of the two options. Drake had clearly never met a true duck. Maybe Elle could sneak one in one of these days and introduce Drake to a better namesake.

#fanfic #wip hell #JL: hey Constantine can you babysit potential threat to the world #Constantine: I’m literally not a babysitter #he’s right he’s a father of two unholy terrors now #john constantine #tim drake #dani phantom #dc x dp #dpxdc #dc comics #danny phantom #‘why doesn’t Constantine talk British’ I hate brits next question

tmntov baz-l is finally real!! (hes been real 4 a while but i was struggling 2 art)

he's not a good person but he has an excuse for that (he's broke) (fully aware mechamorphs don't need clothes but just look at him, looks at that drip)

and there is his son, what a nice family 😇

This is just absolutely random but I was showing a friend the sketch comics I made for the tmnt AU propaganda

And as a joke she started reading every character with a British accent

But then I remembered that Raph was raised by Big Mama and it got me thinking

So now I'm making it canon that "Until I Found You" Raphael has a British accent

watching that terrible mexican episode of the great british baking show and my mother in law legit shuffles to the kitchen to whip out her old af mexican cook book to prove there's plenty of legit baking recipes they could've done if they weren't such racist twats.

#tgbbs #the great british baking show #mexican week #like its not even remotely difficult to find a diversity of actual baked goods that are culturally mexican #and not just....taco challenge #anyways #not that making actual baked goods takes away from the maracas adn terrible jokes but still #you're telling me you've ignored mexican wedding cookies??????#or polvorones???#like bruh first the terrible hispanic heritage month comic book covers that only featured food and now this #im so done

he is not amused.....

#barry steakfries #jetpack joyride #sketch #barry after you call him barreth for the 50th time and he's past the point of embarrassment and is now just grumpy about it #i'm in love with the fact his name's comically long and ridiculous #fuckin barreth mcsteakington friesenhausen.#one of the characters in AOZ has a ridiculous name as well (miss rubenstein sexypants) so i'm happy they kept that going in the vlog #i feel like he dreads going to family gatherings specifically because of that name because it's embarrassing #and he just has to put up with it for a night and a half #also i like to think craig would lightly tease him about it if he found out what his whole name is #he'd think it's actually kind of a cute name but also make fun of barry for it because it's funny seeing him get embarrassed #also speaking of that episode of the vlog: as an queenslander barry's mum is incredibly accurate to how quite a few people here are like #like her story about her friend getting hit by a bus after using the internet feels like something i'd hear a weird aunt or neighbour say #i think most of halfbrick's fans aren't australian so i find it really funny when people call barry british or get confused at certain term #and i have seen some people call barry british before and i feel this mixture of amusement and confusion about it #because 1. that's just really funny that people tend to immediately assume that pronouncing stuff like tomato as “tomahhto” = british #but also 2. have you even heard a british person. i assure you they often don't sound like us australians #especially with the many different variations in their accents depending on what area they come from #anyway.... barry grumpy :3 #i like how i always end up going on long tangents in the tags about random loosely related shit #it's the autism brain going off

everybody asking how hobie is so cool.... it's literally because he is black and from south london there is no other reason

#if hobie were some random white boy i wouldn't give a fuck about him like 🥱 ok but because he's black (mind u he was in the comics too)#and hes from south london hes special 😌 hes cool 😌#its so crazy seeing everybody switch up on london accents too cause u all think hes cool literally a month ago #it was innit bruv jokes now you're all trying to learn the colloquial language of south london and some cockney stuff too #mostly for fanfiction (😐.....) but now british accents are hot to some of you again. 2013 again. but its not as bad as back then
