does throwing a stone at a tank

make a child a terrorist?

is terrorism about resisting oppression? is terrorism about demanding your birthright to live safely and peacefully in your homeland? is terrorism about hating the killers of your family, your friends and your people?

accusations of terrorism are often weaponized against those fighting for liberation and sovereignty and dignity. the french settlers called the algerians terrorists. the indian government calls the kashmiris terrorists. the pakistani army calls pashtun activists terrorists. the turkish government calls the kurds terrorists. apartheid south africa called nelson mandela a terrorist. americans called the vietcong and the black panthers terrorists. the israelis call the palestinians terrorists. all oppressive regimes are connected. all oppressed people are connected. injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

#fares odeh #this is the justification that israel uses to imprison and kill palestinian children #accusations of terrorism are often weaponized against poc who fight for liberation #'wider impact: after odeh's picture became famous israeli tanks were told to start shooting at stone throwers' absolutely insane #free palestine #palestine #gaza #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #glory to the martyrs #long live palestine #death to israel #long live the resistance #save the children #palestinian resistance

While I do find it funny that henchmen in Gotham probably warn each other about the Red Hood because he's a bat who will actually kill you. I think it would be better if Jason was actually seen as some sort of savior or idol to like 90% of the goons scattered around Gotham. Doesn't matter who they work for, they all know Jason, former crime-lord that took over majority of Gotham's underground in one night.

---

Jason, years after the events of UTRH, now fighting crime alongside the batfam, except every goon he runs into immediately recognizes him, stops fighting, and starts begging.

the first time it happens, Jason assumes they're begging for their lives only to hear them begging for him to return to the crime lord business so they can work for him and not Gotham's current money-stingy, abusive rogues (Black Mask lol)

---

Jason showing up to patrol as backup for Dick in an overrun warehouse full of Two-Face's henchmen and as Jason's about to interfere, one of the men stops dead in their tracks and stares really hard at Jason until:

Goon: Oh my God, boss, is that you?

Jason, pulling out his guns, about to shoot:

Goon: Mr. Hood, sir???

Jason, halfway about to pull the trigger: Wait a min–Jeremy? Oh wow, it's been ages! How's the wife?

Goon (Jeremy): Oh my God it IS you, holy shit where have you BEEN? Me and the guys miss you, man!

Dick, with a knife at his throat: What is happening right now

Jason: Ahh, well, crime-lording just wasn't fitting in on the daily schedule. Tryna turn over a new leaf and all that

Goon (Jeremy): Aw, that's disappointing. We really liked working for you, right guys?

[Chorus of enthusiastic "YEAHS" from the rest of the henchmen (even the one holding Dick at knifepoint)]

Goon (Jeremy): Well, anyways, I can't beat you up knowing you're my old boss! You gave us the best health benefits! We'll just let you take the evidence and leave.

Jason: Aw, thanks guys :)

---

And that's why 95% percent of Jason's missions in Gotham end in success. Not because he's willing to kill people or because rogues are terrified of him, but because 90% of the rogues' henchmen once worked for Jason and fuckin love him lol.

#jason: are you sure your boss wont be mad? #jeremy: he's only mad like 50% of the time im sure we'll be fine #jeremy: also we hate working for him. #jason todd absolutely treats his employees well u cant convince me otherwise #dick after the mission: the HELL was that?? #jason fondly: just my goon children. im so proud of them for moving onto weapons trade instead of drug dealing :) #dick: that man was older than you. pretty sure most of them were older than BRUCE #jason: dont disrespect my family like that. #dick: Jason IM your family. i was literally held at knifepoint during your little reunion and you did NOTHING #jason todd #red hood #dick grayson #nightwing #batfam #batfamily #batkids #batbros #dc comics #incorrect quotes #headcanon #crack #fanatical posting

[Image ID: a digital drawing of an anthropomorphic dog character, floating underwater. The character is a humanoid African Wild Dog with webbed, otter-like paws. Her fur is primarily light brown, with dark brown and white splotches. Her ears are dark brown, as are her paws are dark brown. Her legs and arms have stocking-like white markings above the paws. Her face, chest, and the lower half of her tail are white as well.

She floats in murky blue water, one hand outstretched towards the light of the surface. She looks towards the light, but her expression is somber, resigned. The other, held low beneath her body, clutches a dagger. Blood rises from the dagger towards the surface, clouding the water. /end ID]

Also on my DeviantArt.

I know I've been saying this a lot, but I am really, really proud of this one. sometimes it's worth it to color with a brush instead of just using the fill tool.

as for the OC, this is Faith! she's a human/African Wild Dog/Timber wolf/giant otter hybrid, created (along with her parents and sisters) to be a weapon of war. due to certain events in her childhood, Faith has a debilitating fear of blood, which is less than ideal for someone who was made to be the perfect soldier.

the handlers who oversaw the training of her family dismissed Faith as unfit for combat, and her only use seemed to be as a hostage to keep the rest of the family in line. everyone sees Faith as weak, harmless, useless. even her own family sees her as the "little sister" who needs to be protected (never mind that she's older than all her siblings).

Faith is overlooked. forgotten. unwanted.

underestimated.

that's just how she wants it.

bruce 'tired single dad' wayne: *lecturing jason once again on something he did during a fight*

jason 'theatre kid extraodinare'' todd who immediately starts fake crying on the spot: do you just not love me anymore?

#dc comics #dc universe #dcu #batman #red hood #batfamily #batfam #bruce wayne #bruce thomas wayne #jason todd #jason peter todd #jason was never the angry robin #yeah bruce is weak to his children crying but especially jason #if jason can puke on command you best believe he can convincingly fake cry too #what's the point of having trauma if you can't use it to stop your dad from lecturing you? #bruce folds on the spot when jason cries which is why jason doesn't cry that often (jason doesn't want his secret weapon to lose effect) #most of the time jason just owns up to the things he did #so there really isn't any point in lecturing him because jason doesn't care about consequences #the first time jason fake cried in front of bruce after his death he was shocked at how it still worked #the reason why it works so well is because bruce thought jason was dead for around four years and grieved him for so long

i don’t think the big three kids are actually banned from teaming up during capture the flag. i think the stipulation is that they have to take the kids. so it’s like all the brightest and best fighters and most skilled members of camp, including those who have like. made even one plan in their lives, vs. ninety newly armed children who have been fed a breakfast of gushers in orange soda corralled by the most powerful and most impulsive demigods to ever live

#coming out of my studying haze to post this #bc i want you all to get my vision #a group of unhinged gleeful children with sharp weapons let absolutely loose #controlled by nico ‘biggest enabler of all time’ di angelo #jason ‘they asked for a puppy what was i supposed to do say no? i also wanted a puppy’ grace #and percy ‘who wants to blow up zeus’s fist with me? wear a helmet!’ jackson #against like all the smartest people at camp combined #sheer force vs. unlimited preparedness #it would be beautiful #percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #big three kids #percy jackson headcanon

Yeah I'm not overruling her. Listen to your mother kids.

Prompt 48

So does anyone know Soul Eater? Reapers with partners who can turn into weapons? Hear me out: DCxDP crossover where the phantom siblings have to flee and end up in Gotham, specifically in a certain Alley. Now the batfam aren’t entirely sure why Jason has started to talk gently to his favorite pair of guns or carefully clean them practically daily. Or why he treats him like they’re babies, but it’s getting more than a little concerning. And why did he name them Danny and Dani? And why does he have a rifle that he calls Dan that seems to set itself on fire?!

#dcxdp #dpxdc #Phantom siblings #red hood #batfamily #prompts #Jason: Huh I have 3 children now what d'ya know #Batfamily: Is something wrong? Is this a psychotic break?! #Phantom siblings: We gotta hide so the best thing to do is possess these weapons #Oh no we are now stuck in these weapons #Oh hey we can return to ghost form #Oh no we keep turning back into weapons #Quick find a liminal who can hear us to help #Weapon Partners Au

warning: long idea that came from u so u deserve to hear about it

was ranting to my sister about ur sketches cuz i fell in love with them and they are hitting at like 3 obsessions at once so points for u-

anyway I talked about the fenton creep stick (the joker panel) and my sister (who never watched dp) asked what it was, and after a confusing explanation we decided that a fenton creep stick can be any kind of object that is 1) long and swingable (like a crowbar or even a pipe) and 2) sturdy and not easily breakable

after being in the phandom I saw a lot of headcannons that after the ghosts appeared, the fentons started doing speeches at Casper, and they gave out fenton creep sticks "to be safe" or that the fentons sell those to Amity Parkers (THEY'RE NOT GUNS so they can do it) so pretty much everyone has one

adding those ideas to the fact that my sister thought at first that the stick had something to do with CREEPS (like pedos or stalkers cuz of the name) I now imagine the most famous design of fenton creep stick to be one of those stun sticks (that can not only be used on ghosts, but actual creeps!!!)

enjoy this idea cuz it sure gave me joy

asdfghjkl anon your brain wrinkles are amazing that idea is so funny to me. The anti-creep sticks are advertised all over town and it’s treated the same as a McDonald’s ad. No one really gives a shit but they still take note when there’s something new out.

And if you wanted to throw in the supervillain AU, I imagine it would go like this:

#pondhead replies #like imagine the jl just waltz through the dimension portal danny has been using #and this is the first thing they see #more than one creep stick was pointed at them when they were trying to ask about Fenton #they saw the branding and fenton merch and just assumed he kidnapped a whole town #and somehow made them into die hard fans #they don’t even realize they’re in another universe at first cause the amity parkers see a bunch of weirdos in costumes #and assume it’s Ghost Buisness #so they just defend themselves accordingly #god this is so funny to me #danny phantom #supervillain danny au #mad scientist danny #they are horrified that the Fentons give weapons to small children #imagine some random sixth grader is on par with Nightwing’s agility #probably because of ectoplasm enchancement stuff #but still that would be so jarring to see #a middle schooler goes toe-to-toe with Jon Kent in a game of tag #and can actually give a good fight to Damian #and the whole place is like this #and somehow Fenton IS STILL THE WEIRD ONE #sorry got carried away #hello to anon and their sister!!! #dpxdc

is it considered blasphemy to use the overtly detailed gundam aesthethic to try and draw a transformer? i also turned soundwave's battery gun into a lance because why not

#you don't need to answer that #i ended up binge watching several gundam shows and most of them made me cry #lookin at u gundam unicorn #but also why do people keep putting children with severe ptsd into mass weapons of destructions #anyway they apparently got some telepathy stuff goin on and i thought hey soundwave has that so here we are #transformers #soundwave #maccadam #tf soundwave #my art #transformers fanart #soundwave fanart #gundam soundwave

Salem: How dare you recruit children to fight your war?

Ozpin: Excuse me, how old was Cinder when you told her she'd only be free if she did exactly what you told her?

#rwby salem #like it was always a paper thin excuse cause SHE'S THE ONE KILLING THE CHILDREN #it's not like she put an age limit on the people the Grimm were tearing apart in Atlas or Vale or Beacon #and I doubt Tyrian would have cared how old Ruby was if she'd remained in Patch and Salem wanted a new test subject #but goddamn it is VERY clear that she is happy to use children as her weapons/chess pieces in her endless war #while condemning Ozpin for training them so they don't just die in her invasions

💥 Of mice and mischief! 💥

(ID: More Kirby series fanart of Shadow Kirby interacting with Squeakers, with a guest cameo by Dark Meta Knight. Top left - SK clad in the Bomb hat and his Kirby Fighters black-and-purple coloration, dashing by alongside a green Squeaker, both of them carrying lit bombs and laughing with eager mischief. Top right - SK being hurriedly carried off by a group of excited Squeakers, his eyes wide in surprise and little arms thrown back from the speed. Bottom - DMK standing stiffly as a gaggle of curious Squeakers huddles around and even climbs onto him, his fists clenched and his wings slightly curled, his mask tilted down and and hiding his eyes in the shadow of the visor, red lines of irritation zigzagging off of him. To our left, a word bubble sporting Daroach’s top hat reads, “Aww, they like ya! Ain’t that precious? Quick, Spinni, get the camera!” END ID.)

Part 1 | Part 2 (you’re here!) | Part 3 | Part 4 (coming soon!)

Sketch started btw 12/23 - 05/24, render started 05/21/24, finished 05/23/24.

“hey stop making jokes abt mass shootings in america”

“well u insult our accents which is classist so we’re both in the wrong”

#like yeah classism bad we know this #but joking abt dozens of children being slaughtered by an automatic weapon in school is perhaps just a bit worse than saying #‘it’s chewsday innit’ don’t u think
