The young prince Damian Wayne was raised to be the heir to the fearsome League of Assassins -to follow in the footsteps of his deadly mother, Talia, and the Demon's Head himself, his grandfather Ra's al Ghul. But everything changed when his father, the Batman, reclaimed him and brought him back to Gotham City. As Robin, young Damian suddenly discovered he was merely one of a number of princes, preceded in the role by his "brothers" Nightwing, Red Hood, and Red Robin...and Damian doesn't care to be merely anything. But when his father is forced to leave the city on urgent business, and a rash of abductions is accompanied by whispers of a demon stalking Gotham's dark alleys, Damian will find himself battling alongside his adoptive brothers- and in the process, learning what the mantle of Robin really means! Visionary writer/artist Juni Ba makes his mark on the timeless story of Batman and Robin, synthesizing the characters' complex history into an accessible and heartrending fairy tale!

Hello again! I was the person who messaged last week loving on your drawings of happy Anakin just as I finished S05 of TCW. Update - I’ve now officially finished the whole series & you were right, the feels are. IMMENSE. In hindsight maybe I should have paced them out a bit more cause I’ve been randomly crying whenever I think about the finale for too long ever since 🥲 ANYWAY, your beautiful disaster trio drawings continue to be a v strong balm for my disproportionate emotional reactions! But please know I would very literally pay you for drawings of an au where Anakin is saved & gets that hug from Ashoka 💔
Hii!! Oh yeah, I cried for a while and still can’t rewatch some arcs that were just waaay too sad. The pain is real. And I still get the chills and tear up when I hear that last song Burying the Dead 🥲 it was too powerful haha. Hopefully you feel a little better! You’re too sweet! 🥰💕

Do you have any headcanons for Ravio?
Yeah, a few! Took me a bit to get to this sorry about that—
He’s a bird whisperer! He can understand Sheerow very well, and generally is just really good with birds. They also like him a fair amount too :3
He and Link (or Legend for lu) have a lot of similar mannerisms and it’s really weird for Link when he first meets Ravio because um. Why do they scratch their noses the same way??
Adding to that they also do some funny twin stuff like say words at the same time and finish each other sentences, but that only starts happening near the end of albw when they know each other a bit better. It’s still really weird for Link tho (and Ravio)
He’s known Hilda for a long time, and watching her grow more and more desperate to save their world and Yuga more or less corrupt her over time really wrecked him
That being said though he does really admire her love for their home. It matches his own, as messed up and falling apart as it is... it’s still his home. And he loves it. (though Hyrule is pretty amazing, all that life...)
I can’t remember if this is canon or not (I don’t think it is) but I like him having a little gap between his front teeth, it adds to the bunny thing :>
Also that in Lorule rabbits are legendary creatures, like unicorn level, and Ravio always liked stories of them growing up, so... that’s why he decided to make his hood the way it is.

so ... demons coming right after elegy, in the middle of the cancer arc is a crazy choice and i know it means something. please share all your big brain thoughts on mulder & demons?
well...it's kind of like...in elegy, they're being haunted by the future (omens of scully's impending death), in demons, they're haunted by the past (visions from before samantha disappeared). both are highly metaphorical, and both are intrusive, even though he sought out the second. the first is too much. the second isn't enough. and after elegy it's becoming clear that...nothing will be enough. she is so close to death that she can see it. she can't...hide it from him, anymore. she's been dying for a long time. and she doesn't make him face it. she never has that moment where she tells him to just get over it. she never has that moment where she tells him to just accept it, stop avoiding it. she goes to all of her appointments alone. she bleeds alone. even in elegy when they almost argue over it, she tells him that she is fine, and then she goes outside and cries in her car.
but she's not fine, she's so close to death that she can see it, and he knows that. he's so eternally aware. mulder's fatal flaw is that he can see the world, he understands every underlying system, he knows people and how they think. and when he says "i refuse to believe that," he knows that doesn't make it go away. in elegy, he tells her that he's afraid, and she tells him that she's fine. it is a system established long before this particular death sentence.
in the script notes for the last scene of never again, it is remarked that: “if it were ever going to happen, it would be now. as they maintain the silence.”
the way i see it, never again is when they knew. they are not escaping each other. they are dying together. you are coming down with me. (hand in unlovable hand). and then, in the very next episode, comes a diagnosis. they are dying together. and they are dying now. silence is maintained.
so what does she do, after her diagnosis? she buys a journal, and she writes. she writes him letter after letter after letter. begging forgiveness. begging grace. begging courage.
the page that he found, that he read, this is what it said:
“mulder, i feel you close, though i know that you are now pursuing your own path. for that i am grateful- more than i could ever express. i need to know you’re out there if i am ever to see through this.”
i need to know you’re out there. a few months later, in demons, a gun to his chin on the floor of his childhood home, does she feel that he’ll be “out there”? she finds out she doesn’t have much longer to live, maybe weeks, in the next episode, and she doesn’t tell him. she maintains silence.
there’s so much discourse over the choices that mulder makes in demons…it was selfish, it was stupid, it was confusing…i see people ask all the time why he would willingly do something that causes everyone to kill themselves. the answer, of course, is that mulder wants to kill himself. that’s not new, we all watched pusher. (scully watched too). in redux it’s revealed that the “gethsemane” of the episode directly following demons is not scully’s inevitable and closely impending death, it’s mulder alone in his apartment with a gun.
i’m really uninterested in attempting to moralize these decisions…what’s “selfish” at the end of the world? i think demons makes people uncomfortable. to watch a dying woman care for her reckless partner. i also think that’s…the point.
demons is desperate. there’s an obvious desperation in mulder, of course, but also in scully.
throughout season four, we’re watching scully die. she’s getting smaller. she’s getting weaker. she’s getting sicker. but as it progresses, scully is realizing that mulder is dying too. and it all culminates in demons. and what can she do but be afraid? what can she do but get down on the ground and hold him? what can she do but write about what she fears will happen to him? she won’t be there.
nothing will ever be enough after elegy. and there’s nothing that he can do that’s enough. he can’t save her (so he thinks). and…he can’t solve the quest before she dies. he can’t give her the answers that she’s dying for. demons to me is such a last ditch effort. such a hail mary. she deserved to know the capital t Truth, before she’s gone. and i think they both know that maybe, when she is gone, it will never be found.
