Damian doesn't know who Santa Claus is and Danny tries to gaslight him into believing in Santa

Okay but, like, wouldn't even be gaslighting! Santa canonically does exist in the DC universe, I think I remember reading something about him fighting through an army in hell to give Darkseid a single piece of coal once?

So like, Danny doesn't have to gaslight Damian into believing Santa's real, he just has to pull out the proof (Danny has a binder of everything he knows about the Spirit of Christmas for the purpose of when he eventually goes to war with him, Danny hates Christmas so fucking much haha) and show him evidence that Santa is real.

Probably ranting the entire time about how much he hates the guy & Christmas and it's obvious that this is Danny's arch nemesis. His one true villain above all others. Pariah Dark? A nuisance. Dark Dan? Just a tuesday. Santa? That motherfucker is the bane of Danny's existence and he will pay for what he's done (spread Christmas cheer).

And Danny's the newest member to the family. Damian's been encouraged to get to know his new brother and try and bond with him a bit, make him feel like part of the family. So, obviously, the best way to do that is to help Danny in his quest for vengeance.

And of course Tim & Jason end of getting roped in on this. Damian's grown since he's first came to live with his father. He still is a little brat to his older brothers - he's the baby of the family it's his right - but he doesn't actively hate them anymore and can admit when their particular skills would be useful. Tim is the best at strategizing, and Jason is a combat master with access to all sorts of weapons. With all of them working together Santa has no chance, they will destroy him.

Which all just makes me think of something like this happening lol:

“What…uh, what are they doing?” Duke glanced between the chaos unfolding in the family room to where Dick was calmly seated in his favorite chair, sipping idly at a cup of coffee.

“Sibling bonding.” Dick said. There was that specific aura of calm around him that said that he’d already gone through several crisis and all the stages of grief at least twice. Considering the calamity and chaos the eldest batkid had seen over the years - and especially the last few months since Bruce officially adopted Danny and brought him into the fold - it was a bad sign that he’d reached this particular state of Done (TM) before noon. The earliest Dick even woke up was two in the afternoon.

Duke contemplated turning around right then and there - the particular combination of people all excitedly feeding off each other’s feral energy on the other side of the room was a catastrophe in the making he didn’t want to be anywhere near when it finally breached containment and spilled out into the wider world - but unfortunately he was cursed with the curiosity that afflicted all members of the bat clan.

“It looks like they’re plotting to try and kill Santa Claus.”

Dick turned to look at Duke fully for the first time since he’d entered the room. He had the eyes of one that was deeply haunted by the horrors they had witnessed. On the other side of the room Tim was ranting about anti-magic tech while Danny, Damian and Jason argued over what weapons would be most effective against a demi god. There were schematics of what looked worryingly like a rocket launcher looking device that - if the scribbles on the whiteboard someone had drug into the room where to be believed - was going to be rigged to shoot ecto-grenades.

“Danny hates Christmas.” Dick said, and Duke noticed for the first time that his hands around the coffee cup were faintly trembling. “He’s declared Santa is his arch nemesis.”

Duke blinked, glancing over to the others long enough to see Danny start frantically scribbling the words Christmas Nuke on the whiteboard. No one else was trying to erase it. Tim looked worriedly contemplative. Damian and Jason where both nodding in agreement.

He was going to regret this. “But Santa isn’t real?”

Dick’s eyes gained a faintly manic glean, and Duke could faintly hear the sound of porcelain creaking warningly beneath the desperate hold he had on his coffee cup. “That’s what I thought!” Dick said, with enough cheer to make Duke flinch back instinctively. “But apparently he is.” A distinct crack appeared in the cup, coffee dripping down into Dick’s lap. “And apparently they’re going to war with him!”

Well, Duke considered, at least that explained why he caught the four of them burning down the giant Christmas tree in the city center last night.

messed up how having a traumatic childhood still affects me and makes me unable to express my emotions properly

#personal #makes me feel like a proper dick. god i feel like i dont even deserve to be loved sometimes #what kind of person am i if i cant tell someone i love them even tho i do. the vulnerability of it all... afraid of the hurt that may follow #but i also know if im not vulnerable then ill be alone. and i dont want to be alone #im afraid if im vulnerable and say how i feel then i will stop feeling it. speaking it makes it so much more... real. idk #<- guy who needs soooo much therapy

[havendance]

I refuse to belive that Dick will die in any manner other than falling! He needs to die like his parents did! The last of the flying Graysons!

#i am sorry but i reread the time you won your town the race and i am experiencing emotions over it #still thinking about the one return of the the thief quote: #you will fall as your kind always fall when your god lets you go #carthago delenda est #dc #bats + birds + affiliated #dick grayson #last of the flying graysons

AU where Tim's family is connected to the Court of Owls rather than Dick's, and Tim decides to go undercover as a member of the Court

alt version and explanation under the cut

(Disclaimer: I know the court of owls storyline happens in the n52 continuity, but for my own sake (as i don't really like tim's whole deal in it lol) this AU is using pre-n52 backstories and characterizations)

In this AU, Janet Drake was a member of the Court of Owls, unbeknownst to Jack and Tim. Bruce eventually finds this out, but chooses to keep it from Tim to protect him. Tim, of course, finds out that Bruce is keeping this from him, and, feeling betrayed both by Bruce and his own mother, decides to infiltrate the Court on his own. The court has been sending him cryptic invitations ever since Bruce announced his initiative to improve Gotham, looking for a way into both the Wayne family and WE. As a member of the Court, Tim is able to gather information to help stop them, but in order to maintain his cover, he is forced into many situations where he is forced to choose between compromising his morals or compromising his position in the Court.

#tim drake #red robin #batman #court of owls #dc comics #the court of owls #dc fanart #i haven't fully finished the court of owls storyline. it lost me when they said that the graysons were connected to the court of owls #like. tim is right there. he has a mysterious long-dead parent who was both rich and gone literally all the time #that's literally perfect for this kind of story!!!!! why did they have to choose dick for it instead???? #anyway this AU concept kind of took over my entire brain the instant i started reading the story #the explanation is kind of long but i promise its even longer in my own head #i really do think an infiltration mission would have suited the court storyline best #bc then we could see all of the messed up stuff the court gets up to!!! #they have a massive torture labyrinth for god's sake!!!! give me some gladiator fights!! #give me some messed up human hunts a la the most dangerous game!!! #anyway. i might post more about this concept later #art #my art #weaverofink

Athena quite literally said “you embarrassed me so I’m going to let you die horrifically in my own temple”

Anyway, dethrone Zues 2024 is once again upon us!! Now including dethrone Olympus 2024!! 💃💃✨

#we have reached that time of year once more fellas #dethrone Zues 2024 #it’s my favorite holiday #the gods are dicks #they’d deserve it #we should make an annual week where we chant DETHRONE ZUES until it happens #like I don’t think Kronos should have won because he was worse but also percy should dethrone the gods #HOW COULD ANYONE ANY PARENT DO THAT TO THEIR KID LIKE OH YOU MADE ME UNCOMFORTABLE AT WORK SO NOW YOU SHOULD DIE?! #they deserve to be dethroned okay #it kind of proves what Medusa was saying like yes obviously Medusa was a monster she became a monster when she desided to be self righteous #and murder people?!! #but also she was right that the gods are monsters in the end too they have no sense of morality or right and wrong #percy jackson books #percy pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #percy and annabeth #percy jackson #percy series #pjo disney+ #pjo spoilers #pjo fandom #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo series #pjoverse #athena #goddess athena

hey, people! friendly reminder that artists, be they fanart artists or writers, do see the criticism you write on their posts and the vagueposting on certain social medias and it is not fucking okay. you have to remember that these content creators are people too, the very same way you are, and that they create content because they like engaging with a certain fandom.

i know i made a post about this a while ago when zar left the fandom but this post really made me realize how entitled people are in regards to consuming fandom material. fanart artists, the very same way writers do, get better over time, and many people in fandom, maybe not the majority, but still a good part, are amateur artists, and most of them are still looking for an artstyle that fits them. i joined this fandom in 2019, and i was really young back then. with experience, artists get better. or maybe they won't! that's fine too; however, this kind of criticism is both harmful and unasked for.

you are not entitled to anything. you consume media that people put out on the internet for free, and yet you're acting as if people are supposed to great godsent art; (fanart) artists and writers, listen to me. you do not owe the people who engage with your content anything. you decide what you want to do, and you should not feel pressured and obligated to do things you don't want to.

this fandom is really demanding towards the content creators they consider to be "good", and ignoring, to cite the previously linked post, the "mid" ones.

you decide what content you engage with. is it not your cup of tea? is it something that is not visually pleasing to you, or writing that is, by your standards, not good enough? do you just not like it? do not fucking engage with it. do not make other people feel bad about their art just because you don't like it. please, for the love of everything, understand that content is not created for you, and that people will not always produce the content you like. just scroll down; it's that simple.

#and please for the love of god understand these people don't owe you anything #it's your choice what kind of content you engage with and like i said these people don't owe you anything #and just because you don't like the content they create doesn't mean you have to be a dick towards them #and you're surprised by the amount of people and leave when so many are so egotistical regarding the content they want to engage with #in order to change this you have to understand that the way you act and the way you consume is a problem and you have to work on yourself #and improve your responses to the art that is given to you for free like people who take time to do what they're doing #like your consuming this media that people put out for free and yet you still complain about the way that this media is put out for you #please for the love of everything understand that your actions have consequences #marauders fandom #fandom rant #fandom discussion #fandom discourse

the thing about dan is if he got famous now as a solo creator people would think he was sooo mysterious and impossible to get close to but we literally can’t see him that way bc he spent 10 years being the sweet boy making people feel at ease and putting stickers on his face with his 4000 year old tortoise bestie he shares a braincell with

#like seriously try to imagine dan coming on the scene at like 28 #with zero lore #i’d be like ugh he seems like a lowkey dick i bet he’s really rude when the cameras are off #i think i probably wouldn’t take the time to dive in #which is sad in a way? bc he is so so wonderful but idk something about us knowing him like we do #and knowing how wonderful he is #he’s never beating the babie allegations #can’t fathom knowing dan without knowing the decade of comfort and kindness and vulnerability #that wasn’t always healthy but god it formed an unbreakable bond #he’s the most friend shaped and i’d love to know if people who just now heard the name get that #i can’t imagine just knowing this dan and not having the privilege of knowing phil’s dan #if that makes sense

June 1983. Lex Luthor and Brainiac get a makeover, with updated character designs courtesy of Ed Hannigan. Luthor's green-and-purple battlesuit was an upgrade, but the real winner was Hannigan's new robotic Brainiac. In his previous humanoid guise, Brainiac hadn't been exactly intimidating, with his pink leotard and white cuffs and collar, but his new form was actually frightening. (If you're wondering, this arrived at least a year and a half before THE TERMINATOR.)

The new origins were not a reboot so much as a revamp. The Brainiac chapter, written by Marv Wolfman and pretty obviously inspired by STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, has Brainiac's previous form disincorporated and rebuilt by a planet of living computers. During this process, the mind of Brainiac experiences a series of surreal visions, depicted with suitable gravitas by Gil Kane:

This experience leaves Brainiac convinced, a) of the existence of a supreme being, whom he calls "the Master Programmer"; b) that this supreme being seeks to destroy him, Brainiac; and c) that Superman is really the Master Programmer's "Angel of Death"!

In his terrifying new form — if Brainiac's appearance wasn't creepy enough, he and his new octopus-skull starship are actually part of the same living machine, whose cables and circuits can become animated at will — Brainiac redefines his own role as follows:

In customary evil robot/computer villain fashion, the reborn Brainiac's personality is coldly and ruthlessly logical, but all his logic is based around the premise that his new mission is to build an army to kill God! His principal strategy is to depopulate whole worlds, leaving a handful of survivors whom he then forces to fight for him, since they have nowhere else to go and no alternative other than instant death.

In short, this revamp put Brainiac firmly in the big leagues of cosmic supervillainy, in every respect. Everything DC has subsequently done with Brainiac, both in the comics and elsewhere, has been a significant step down, both conceptually and graphically.

#comics #action comics #marv wolfman #gil kane #ed hannigan #dick giordano #brainiac #lex luthor #superman #as comic book villains go #“scary robot who wants to kill god” is hard to top #original flavor brainiac was mostly kind of obnoxious #this brainiac is a “call out the whole justice league” bad guy

michael is my absolute favorite character in the entire show. if he has a million fans im one of them. if he has ten fans im one of them. if he has one fan it’s me. if he has no fans, i’ve been shot dead and had my soul put in a meat grinder. if the world is against mike, i am against the world.

#yes he is my special little tiepsny but he’s also one of the most interesting characters to analyze and his story predicts so many things #also he’s one of the most complex characters that never actually toes the line between good and evil #he’s so clearly good but the way he’s been framed as unlikable so the reveal in s5 of his pov hits harder is gonna be insane #he is not kind but by god is he loyal and full of love #he’s such a spiteful bitch but it really does come from a place of love #like he really does love lucas and that’s part of why he was so pissy about him trying to be popular but you see him try to be a little #understanding when he and dustin confront him about the game #obviously he was a huge dick for not actually going to the game but from his pov lucas was abandoning them for ‘balls in laundry baskets’ bc #eddie skewed his perspective about the whole thing in his rants about nonconformity #honestly the way lucas and eddie have directly contrasting roles in mike’s life is something i can’t wait to talk about in the big analysis #mike wheeler #byler
