Hey, I started reading Robin son of Batman because of your recommendation (I literally have a print of your post on my phone to not forget lol). Honestly? One of the best things I ever read!!!
Thank you for opening my eyes! Damian has been one of my favorite characters for over a year, but I didn't read/watch much of him because of school, life (and probably an executive dysfunction in the mix).
Maya is incredible. I loved her.
I haven't finished all the issues yet, but do you have any other recommendations?
WAH this makes me so happy, i'm glad you still gave it a shot even with how busy life is!! ;v;
i’d love to give reccs, and i’ll try to go a beginner friendly route! tbh you can pick up whatever here, but since you've read R:SOB i’d immediately follow up with Batman and Robin (2011) #1-8! this first arc is what’s referred to in Maya’s introduction, and it's just. so good.
Main Books
Batman and Robin (2009)
Dick as Batman with Damian as his Robin!

Batman Incorporated (2012) #1-10
events leading to Damian's death - affects Batman and Robin (2011) from issue #18
kind of a tough read especially with how Talia's written, but a lot of iconic bits like Batcow, Damian's vegetarian declaration, Alfred the cat, "We Were the Best, Richard."

Some Raph and Ratchet headcanons (plus basically canon stuff):
they are so special to me
grandpa and grandson vibes
ratchet is glad to have an intelligent young human on the team, but also grows to enjoy raph's company in general
raph loves helping out the team, and gets really happy whenever ratchet specifically tells him he did a good job
ratchet enjoys raph's presence the most, because miko tends to be too loud and all over the place for his liking. jack is more bearable but he doesn't really like to sit in one place for a long time
which leaves raph, raph will sit by ratchet in comfortable silence and is careful making sure he doesn't knock over or break anything
sometimes they'll chat for a bit, but most of the time raph will be on his computer doing his own thing while ratchet does his
they both are very similar, but grow even more similar throughout the seasons
for example, raph begins saying things like "I needed that!" and takes on some of ratchet's mannerisms
(miko's like "oh great we got a mini ratchet now" and ratchet's just in the corner trying not to smile)
raph would totally have those mannerisms at home too (his family wonders where he got the phrase "I needed that!" and the little "hmph" from but don't say anything.)
he stands up for himself more, and things like that
"ratchet can you help me with this science proj-" *cue flashbacks to that one episode* "uhh you know what, nevermind!"
ratchet is very proud of his smart little human friend
overall they are the "grumpy man adopts child" duo and i love them

I feel the need to remind people because I’ve made mistakes like this before (covers safety when it comes to sh cuts)
988twt language not used layers of skin are referred to by their actual names/color descriptors)
Only tagged this way for reach, tw for some tags
I am pro recovery: anti recovery/pro @na dni (interaction on this post is ok, just don’t follow my account)
(Epidermis) cuts that look like cat scratches need to be disinfected either before or after breaking skin but can usually go without bandaids
(Dermis) if you hit white it needs to be disinfected before AND after, way higher risk of infection, I’d also suggest bandaging it as leaving these wounds in the open can cause complications
(Fat) if you hit yellow it needs stitches and or actual medical care, these have an insanely high risk of infection, bandages should be changed regularly and everything MUST be kept sterile
Don’t swim in rivers/creeks/the ocean/public pools with ANY open wounds.
along side this, try to keep track of major arteries to ensure you don’t nick them, as this can cause you to bleed out far faster then just hitting a vein; arteries are carrying blood away from the heart (it has more pressure behind it)
Symptoms of infection: Redness and swelling, heat at the wound site, pus or other drainage, fever/chills, swollen lymph nodes, delayed healing.
So what can be used to disinfect the site/blade?: skin safe alcohol, iodine, hydrogen peroxide (only for use on the skin, it’ll rust your blade), Vodka or Moonshine (burns like hell, BUT technically an option?), warm water (hot or boiling water for the blade, make sure to dry well to avoid rusting) and unscented soap (baby soap works well)
Always check that the blade you are using isn’t rusted nor showing signs that it might be starting to rust. (Stainless steel is your friend)
feel free to add on in comments or reblogs, I’m happy to make edits/add to this post!

Fuck it. Trans+genderfuck Helluva Boss headcanons:
Blitzø is a trans man. Literally nothing in canon changes. It just so happens that whenever he mentions his dick, he's talking about his incredible strap game.
Stolas does not understand gender. If he ever heard the term autigender he'd probably relate. His gender identity is also gay man
Moxxie and Millie are cis but love to do drag together for fun (and murder) ((and sex))
Fizz is nonbinary and goes mainly by he/they, and occasionally by she and neopronouns. They like to play with gender presentation, but he also feels like his connection to masculinity is important for him because of how emasculated they have been by fans and doctors due to their disability and fame
Bee is pangender and goes by she/her
Literally all of Blitzø's horse OCs are trans. This one is not even a headcanon it's just canon
Sallie May used to ask Millie to dress her up with the girly clothes their parents bought for Millie when they were kids, and Millie loved it because she wasn't particularly feminine and didn't want those clothes for herself
When they were teens (before the accident), Barbie, Blitzo and Fizz used to joke around about how none of them shared a gender
Verosika is a trans woman and she and Blitzø really connected when they first met, in a way neither was used to. For a while, they were in T4T heaven. She fell deeply in love with him, and frankly, he was starting to do the same (but he obviously wasn't ready to face this kind of vulnerability and pushed her away).
Unrelated but literally all of the succubi in Verosika's group are trans
Ozzie hunts transphobes for sport
