I can pinpoint the moment that destroyed my life today:
It’s been a handful of weeks since Murderbot came within inches of having a new, organic governor module implanted in its head via infection - do you think, maybe, that’s also been hiding behind the redacted? Not the way everything else is, just as a deep-seated reminder of what it can’t afford to lose?
What a way to be told “I love you” - to be told “I will not lose you, I will not let go, I will do the hard part of holding on even if you don’t want me to”

collecting EVERY map/diagram/floor plan/data page of the various titans towers/hqs/bases iterations that exists (as far as i know). i think (?!) i have them all, but please, please, please let me know if you know of one i'm missing! warning: a very, very, very long, image-heavy post!
the lair/the hq under the disco club they ran as a front:
(New Titans Sourcebook for the DC Heroes RPG)
(JLA/Titans #2)
2. titans tower v1:
(DC Heroes RPG (1st Edition))
(New Titans Sourcebook for the DC Heroes RPG)
(New Teen Titans (1980) #7)
(Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #23)
(JLA/Titans #2)
3. titans hq 2/liberty island base (new titans/roy era titans hq):
(New Titans #125)
(JLA/Titans #2)
4. titans satellite (new titans/roy era titans era):
(The New Titans #125)
(JLA/Titans #2)
5. solar tower hq (from Teen Titans (1996)):
(JLA/Titans #2)
6. titans tower v2 (post-JLA/Titans rebuilt, Titans (1999) hologram "tower"):
(Titans Secret Files and Origins #1)
this last one needs a bit of explanation/a disclaimer. this is (afaik) the only really detailed breakdown we got of this (my favorite) version of the tower, and i love it, but the VERY important caveat with this is that this is not something that was ever actually published or even... finished. it's from the very rough first draft for a titans sourcebook meant to be a future add-on to the 2000s DC Universe RPG... which was cancelled halfway through. again, very rough draft that never even underwent any editing or revisions or fact checking, so take it with a grain of salt! but i think it's neat, so we're including it!

One guy. Er, I mean two, no, no! Four, four completely different guys, no correlation between them, no sir!
Started this around same time as this KID one. It should be same style proportion-wise. As I was messing around for fun/on purpose of finding something that more cartoony? simpler in flow?
Anyways, the design/style notes/thoughts under the cut, I did put lots of my exhausted braincells into Kaito/KID difference
Overall style inspos:
1) "I need to think of Sonic but like more human-y"
2) Miho Shimogasa (PPGZ/Kaito Joker/BatuSpi Toppa Bashin)
3) PSWG and SPvsW lol kinda, just from my head how I remembered em though
>Cone and Shin: Originally wasn't planning on putting shadows in his eyes, but without em he's straight up "People with blue eyes" meme. Creepy too much.
Neat and sharp a bit.
Cone is a pain to size correctly. I think I kinda got it right? But maybe he should had been just tad taller? You never know if he's like 95cm or 1m and something
Side note, but Cone's shoes really make me think of Sonic's-
>Shin and Kaito: Neat and bit sharp vs more laid back and messy. Also more puffy/round on corners? I basically want him to have puffy sleeves/sleeves that got some volume to em because it fits the magician in my eyes. Adds to hands/arm movement
Also Shin's eyes of more your blue/dark blue shades, while Kaito's of blue-ish purple
That's to say, I imagine/think Shinichi is the one who hunches more, while Kaito is the one who tends to lean back a bit/keep posture mostly straight (if he ain't sleeping in class lol)
>Kaito and KID: Kinda pathetic and messy vs your perfect phantom thief. More shadowy/half-closed eyes vs "oh he's bright awake and ready to go stupid go crazy". Some guy vs the charisma itself. That's to say, shadows cover Kid's visible eye most of the time. And he also has that grin...or his mouth hidden at all.
His hair appears bit more fluffier and neater, too.
I also tried to keep that juxtaposition with Shinichi of "more sharps vs more round" with him as well.
Overall, I like the thought of what if Kaito was more loser in canon, as in less people in school liking him, pitying for his family situation, etc, no entirely of course, because it's simply him, but feel it be more fun in contrast with Kid (and Shinichi)
Also, for Kid's cape...just didn't felt like drawing it here, you can excuse me, right?
I think that's all I have to say, but if there's anything ya wanna point out/hear, please ask away!~

shanks, four years younger than mihawk, is usually granted the "starry-eyed crush on the cool older boy" trope (with good reason!), so i was thinking it'd be cute to grant that dubious pleasure to mihawk in an age swap au instead.
mihawk, scrappy nine year old, gets picked up by roger for a trip on the oro jackson to the next island (roger just wants to feed the kid lol), and gets sweet talked into it by dangling a duel with rayleigh, the current world's greatest swordsman, as bait. when mihawk gets there, rayleigh says mihawk has to be able to beat his apprentices first, and gets his ass summarily handed to him by a thirteen year old shanks, who both impresses and embarrasses mihawk, as shanks beats him without even trying but he's so cool when he does it.
and so mihawk declares himself shanks's rival, and when he wins, shanks will have to listen to a request. and years and years later, when mihawk finally does win, that request--which he's never changed his mind about--is permission to start formally courting shanks. charmed, and absolutely having seen this coming after years of observing an obvious crush and slowly warming up to it as mihawk grew and changed between their meetings, laughs and just kisses mihawk straight-up.

Personally I think the ending of botw directly contradicts that whole stupid thing of "all the sheikah tech just disappeared in the middle of the night (and no one questioned it)", because even if that DID happen (if it's not in the game it's not canon, to me), what was up with Vah Ruta? Did it just shut down, then frantically start back up when it realized "oh shit, calamity's gone, I have to go fuck off into the sunset"? Like, it had to be operational to move to wherever it moved to, unless someone came along and teleported it all to who knows fucking where (which is like. Extraordinarily unlikely. There's like three people in Hyrule that could do that and none of them have a good reason to)
