Duke Thomas headcannons becuase please just write him as a black boy:

the first time there’s a summer rain at night after he moves into Wayne Manor Duke sets up the speakers and the floodlights and lives out his 00’s rnb music video dreams

after that Alfred will sometimes drive him around in the back of one of the cars when it rains at night because he doesn’t want his latest grandson to get hypothermia but understands that it is very important to live out 00’s rnb music video dreams

Duke teaches Cass the Usher watch this thing and originally they only use it to tell each other that they’re gonna do some dumb shit but then Cass decides she really likes it and uses it more than the actual sign

Duke and Cass have a theme song because they are besties and that theme song is black and yellow by Wiz Khalifa whenever it plays they drop everything to rap to each other and if anyone turns it off before it finishes they start it again even louder it becomes a great distraction technique for other batfamily members. they chose the song because of their uniforms but the first time a civilian sees how enthusiastic they are about the song they draw a different conclusion and they find it so funny that they definitely have to keep it as their theme song from now on

Duke lives a no shoes in the house life no matter who’s house it is or what everyone else is doing

He also keeps his Signal uniform exclusively in the batcave because no uniforms in the Manor seems like the natural extension for no outside clothes in bed

Duke sneaks scotch bonnets into the Manor kitchen generally timed with the occasions that Jason is around and in the mood to cook. Dinner those nights feature running eyes and noses from Bruce Tim and Steph along with all the milk in the Manor finishing. It’s great entertainment for Duke Cass Damian Jason and Dick

Duke has locs he lowkey thinks about bleaching the ends to match the aesthetic of his uniform but he’s unsure of if it will make him to conspicuous

When he first moved to the Manor he got pooled into the schedule to pick up hair shop (beauty supply store) supplies with the Fox’s because they’re all way too busy of people to be driving out of the way individually so it only made sense to add Duke to that. He and Tam also timetable his retwist appointments with her hair appointments for the same time

Duke is an instigator Jason and Tim will be having a petty squabble that is about to fizzle out but then Duke walks past them and just whispers a quick “if I were you I wouldn’t have that” and then an hour later a priceless vase is broken there’s holes in the wall and Tim and Jason have matching black eyes. Duke considers it a public service to provide Babs with entertainment for when Oracle hours a slow she agrees and doesn’t snitch on just how much shit Duke starts so he can get away with even more

Duke joins Jason and Alfred’s book club and the first book he picks is Beloved because like they’re in this big old gothic manor respect the aesthetic

One time Bruce walks passed Duke on ft to his friends and he’s performing “Wisdom” and Bruce thinks it’s something Duke came up with himself and is trying to be a supportive dad and is like “that’s great son” with a really strained smile and Duke just sticks to the bit like “you really think so?” bruce even more pained “yeah it’s amazing”

He also has exclusively satin pillowcases and gives everyone in the Manor a set because it’s good for the hair and therefore a good use of Bruce’s rich people money

Duke upon realising that he was gonna be adopted by a bunch of crime fighting pseudofurries and was going to join them in the crime fighting said this some white people shit and that’s why he chose Signal rather than some bioluminescent bird

So I never really know who is on multiple platforms. Like I get/find KinnPorsche content all over, some here, some TikTok, some Insta, and I do have a Twitter, but I very rarely go there, even before the chaos of the last few weeks. But apparently the KP authors, who are terrible people, have been extra terrible. IDK if it's info that's made it's way here, but they said at some point that during the VegasPete NC scene the audio was cut because it was too realistic, which is why that scene is only music. Sure whatever. Then on TikTok (though it started on Twitter) a clip of that scenes audio started going around. It first popped up months ago soon after that episode, but it's been making the rounds again, but it is a fan made clip. A very talented fan essentially ADRed/Foleyed the VP scene, and then posted it online. But apparently Daemi has been going around and harassing people commenting or sharing the clip saying the BOC and the actors are mad it got leaked, and blah blah blah. There's been no statement from anyone at BOC about the clips, since they know it's fake. But I keep getting videos on my FYP on TikTok saying don't follow the authors, not even for the drama, you need to just block them. And like, if I go on Twitter I might, I'm not against it they're awful, but I just never go there.

But one thing I really love about fandom in general is that when it's good, the fans will band together to exile any terrible people trying to fuck things up. It happened to a small extent with JKR. Everyone I know who's still into HP almost exclusively reads fics, and only buys merch from small shops, never anything officially licensed, which takes all the money out of JKR's hands. It's not universal in that fandom which is a bummer, but it's a pretty reasonable victory. I've also seen it with fans of the Whedonverse, where that man's thoughts and opinions don't matter in the fandom anymore.

So I never know exactly what people will have heard/read/learned about, so I'll give a brief explanation. There's a concept called 'Death of the Author' which relates to an author having no control over a piece of work once it's been sent out into the world. Once something is published or released, the intentions, beliefs, ideas, of the author no longer have bearing on it's interpretation by the consumer. Often these beliefs and ideas are subtextual, even possible accidental, since we all have inherent prejudice and biases that will appear in creative works. Sometimes those ideas are overt and purposeful. But once that work is out, the fan can change the narrative to whatever they want, and the author has no say. One of my favorite examples of this is the fan theory over Ron Weasley being trans, since JKR is a massive terf.

Now in general this will only apply to completed works, so it wouldn't apply to Daemi, who is still actively right the KP story. But they've been so terrible that KP fans have decided that they no longer desire to wait for that death, but instead have decided to take it up on themselves to wrest all control of KP from them by force. What I've decided to call Murder of the Author. Which is shockingly appropriate considering the genre of their work.

So...bottom line, don't support the authors of KP, they're terrible humans. If you see them on social media you should block them. They also do have separate KP merch that they sell, so if you are buying merch make sure it's from BOC. And I really enjoy being part of a fandom that has decided "we don't care if you created this story, you're being awful in real life and so we are confiscating it."

Daemi if you see this:
