15 years of Dan & Phil - Major Arcana

It struck me that there has been 15 years since Dan and Phil met and my little goose brain connected that to the devil card number 15 (symbolised in dnpcrafts video) and so now you get a large post of me analysing year by year dnp in the major arcana.

DISCLAIMER: this is just for fun and because i am a silly jester who needed to feel joy while on video call with a friend. do not take any of this seriously, i am just a goofy guy with an internet connection and too much time.

The Fool - 0

we start at the fool, 2009.

"The Fool is young and vulnerable. He has not yet experienced the ups and downs of life, leaving him unaware of the magnitude of life's challenges, as well as the potential he holds. When The Fool comes up in a Tarot reading, you are encouraged to take on his open, willing energy and embrace all that lies ahead of you without worry."

The year dnp meet. The start of the journey. The fool is considered the main character of the Major arcana journey. Thus Dan and Phil are the main characters of this story, their story.

Both unaware of what the future holds for them, their life™ was only just at conception. I feel like this one is very self explanatory in context of them just having met, we as the audience are just introduced to the concept of Dan and Phil.

The fool energy (open, willing) is especially evident in videos like PINOF 1 and The Interactive Christmas Adventure where their silliness, and creativity really shine. This is an era of open, easy (almost naive) energy.

The Magician - 1

The year is 2010...

"The Magician card is a reminder that you are unique and have many gifts. These skills set you apart from the crowd and can help you begin new projects or overcome adversity. When The Magician comes up in your Tarot reading, it's a reminder that you already hold everything you need to move forward and accomplish what you've set out to do."

The year of Dan moving to Manchester and starting his Law Degree and Phil getting his flat in Manchester, PINOF2, Jamaica trip, and the conception of the forbidden video. We also have creative bangers such as "the inflatable lion of destiny", 'Blindfolded Catface Game', 'Dan and Phil get down' and 'The TREE'.

The boys are creating core parts of the Dan and Phil universe without knowing it. Together they have all the ingredients needed (see in the card imagery; the wand, cup, pentacle and sword) to create a fanbase and a successful career.

The High Priestess - 2

2011 baybeeeeee

"The most intuitive, connected card in the whole Tarot deck, The High Priestess is a card of awareness. This card urges you to listen to your inner voice and follow your instincts. Your mind knows far more than you think. When this card arises in your Tarot reading, stop looking for answers in the outside world. Turn within for the guidance you seek."

We have the Manchester apartment™, PINOF 3, the forbidden video leak and the first radio show. The relation to this, to me, really comes up in the forbidden video response. Having to turn inwards, the boys became insular, guarded and a wall was really put up between them and the audience to protect themselves. We can't speak to exactly what was happening for them internally and only make our assumptions based on what they outwardly expressed at the time.

The Empress - 3

2012

"The Empress is the most feminine card in the Tarot, and greatly encourages compassion, beauty, and love. She is deeply connected to Mother Nature, and her influence is powerful when you absorb the energy of the natural world around you."

"This supreme archetype of femininity also symbolizes fertility. It is The Empress who provides us nourishment and security. She is also sometimes seen as delighting us with flowers and fruit."

We have entered younow era. They also move to London this year, Dan officially drops out of uni, we get PINOF 4 and a second radio show. We also have the iconic tweet 'FYI i like vagina'. This year is known for being a difficult year in the Phandom. It has a reputation for 'no homo howell' and generally the boys being more reserved and insular with what and how they shared their lives.

In relation to The Empress card I think we can draw particularly on security. We know they had a stalking problem at the London apartment - a threat to their physical security, fans being hectic about their sexualities (particularly Dan) - a threat to their privacy. We also have Dan getting an influx of 'are you gay' on younow and having to reassert his ' straightness' lends itself to the femininity of this card. He had to play straight in order to keep himself safe. This card being for 2012 when we know they really withdrew from sharing themselves with us is quite the oxymoron but despite the withdrawing of their sharing with the audience we know they still had great success (got their flowers) in the coming years.

The Emperor - 4

2013

"The Emperor is a card of leadership and power. He is an authoritative force who has been through many experiences to achieve this status. He represents structure and solidity, and reminds you that you, too, hold immense amounts of power over your own life, and what happens to it."

THE BRITISH VLOGGER BOOM IS UPON US. The boys have gone through some shit™ at this point and are starting to establish themselves as Entertainers. They are on the grind, they are moving in the direction of establishing themselves as entertainers/presenters in the mainstream space marked by the beginning of the request radio show. Their Youtube numbers climb as does their power in the online world. As for them holding power over their own lives, I know Dan has mentioned not feeling in control of things like his audience at this point. But I think this card speaks to them really gaining control over their future career wise as a duo - even if they didn't fully see themselves as such yet.

We also have the Charlie Skies twitter fiasco this year - another threat to their privacy. Through this Dan in particular had to trust in the power he had over his own narrative in redirecting attention and deflecting Charlie's online attacks. He blocked him and protected his peace and as a result not a whole lot of the phandom knows about this beef. Dan and Phil are nothing if not good at diversion, distraction and hiding things from the internet (good for them).

The Hierophant - 5

2014

"The Hierophant is like a messenger from the heavens. He is experienced in spirituality and guidance, and his job is to bring these lessons down to us here in the real world. When The Hierophant comes up in your Tarot reading, you're encouraged to follow the rules, and to find a spiritual perspective on your current situation."

"Before him kneel two followers. The Hierophant’s task is to pass down his spiritual wisdom and initiate the two into the church so they can take up their appointed roles. This imagery speaks to a shared group identity and a rite of passage to enter the next level. The crossed keys at The Hierophant’s feet represent the balance between the conscious and subconscious minds and the unlocking of mysteries, which only he can teach."

This year brings us the first Brit awards hosting, the radio show transitioning to the Internet Takeover, Dan and Phil Games and the channels continuing to grow. This card in particular I think relates to them and their relation to the BBC. In this card they are the two people in front of the Hierophant, learning and having knowledge bestowed upon them. This was a year of developing their careers into a new phase of mainstream TV palatability. Dan and Phil are stepping into previously unchartered spaces for just a couple of guys on the internet.

The Lovers - 6

2015

"The Lovers card represents the close relationships in your life. If it comes up in your Tarot reading, your love life is in need of extra attention. However, this is just as much a card about your values and decisions. You may find The Lovers come up when you are at a crossroads. Consider all the possible consequences of your choices."

Significant events this year include; TABINOF, TATINOF, Dan and Phil crafts, Japhan part 1, Brit Awards hosting and the channels growing. Japhan happening this year with the lovers card showing up is very sweet. Dan and Phil knew they had big events coming up for them in their lives so they carved out space for them to enjoy existing together by going to Japan.

We also know that at this point Dan and Phil were looking to move on from the TV Host type of space they found themselves in with the BBC. A crossroads of where they wanted to take the world of Dan and Phil™ . That gave way to TABINOF and TAINOF, stepping into an unknown space of Youtubers doing stuff in the real world once again. Phil mentioned in his video, 'Draw my LIfe 2' that they really had to trust that this was the correct move for them. A crossroads where they had to consider the consequences when investing their money into TABINOF and TATNIOF.

The Chariot - 7

2016

"The Chariot card is connected to your natural drive and determination, and can indicate an upcoming victory. This card reminds you that your greatest successes won't come through limited thinking -- when you combine the knowledge of your mind with that of your heart and spirit, you are an unstoppable force."

This year brought alot of reaping on benefits of putting trust in the crossroads that the Lovers card presented. We see the end of the Internet Takeover, the final Brit Awards hosting and the end of the TATINOF era. They combined their mind, heart and spirit and came out successful, winning 4 awards this year and having the huge success of TATINOF. They didn't allow themselves to be limited (by the BBC) and they succeeded. So, if they could achieve a world tour and a best selling book on their own... well what could come next??

Strength - 8

2017

"The Strength card represents courage, the fortitude of your heart, and your ability to withstand anything life hands you. If this card arises in your Tarot reading, you are reminded that you're strong enough to handle whatever you are facing and will come out of it with even more power than you had before."

This year, the boys move to their new London apartment (the fake apartment), Interactive Introverts is announced, Dan goes curly and the end of danisnotonfire branding.

We know from the video 'Dan and Phil Finally Tell the Truth' that Dan had begun to realise he couldn't stay in the closet any longer, which led to his mini breakdown on the balcony. He stated that he was worried if they went on tour with introverts he was going to have a very public meltdown. We also got the video 'Daniel and Depression'. Between the two of these things we can see how the strength card really came into play this year.

Phil has also talked about how they didn't know how they were going to get everything done this year. With Introverts tour looming, they were inundated with work and they really had to grin and bare through it. They had to trust their strength as a duo that they would come through this time together.

The Hermit - 9

2018

"The Hermit yearns to be alone. He knows that the only way to process what is happening in life is to withdraw from the noise of the world and create a quiet space of solitude. When The Hermit comes up in your reading, the answers you need will come from within. Be very still, and listen..."

This year is the year of the Interactive Introverts tour, the final PINOF, the gaming channel hiatus and Dan's video 'trying to live my truth'. The Hermit coming up in a year of them going into hiatus, is just very nail on the god damn head. I mean what card could be more relevant? It seems so self explanatory, I don't even know what to say.

The boys had to turn inward once again to assess where to go next in their careers. They talk about pausing to take stock of what they have done and where they will go.

Dan took a huuuuuge step back to go inwards and process everything he had been holding in and pushing through in the previous years as they were so busy with their career building. This was a year where they gave themselves permission to slow down and finally look inward for where to go next. This introversion beginning is seen at the start of 2018 in Dan's 'Trying to Live My Truth' video.

We also have Phil with his dizzy spells during this year meaning there was less amazingphil content. This could also be seen as an introversion. He had to slow down his public career of take care of himself and focus on his health.

The Wheel of Fortune - 10

2019

"The Wheel of Fortune is constantly revolving -- sometimes you will be at the top, and sometimes you will be at the bottom. This Tarot card reminds you that nothing is permanent, and, good or bad, you must cherish the lessons that this moment is bringing you."

"Good luck, karma, life cycles, destiny, a turning point"

Bare with me while I desperately try to refrain from top and bottom jokes due to the concision of the wheel of fortune card and dnp coming out in the same year. But truly this card represents a turning point and a destiny fulfilment. If BIG and COTY are not a destiny fulfilment and turning point then I don't know what is! The boys are living their truth, they are moving into a new era.

Justice - 11

2020

"Justice is your firm-but-fair reminder that there is a consequence for every action. Whatever life is handing you at this moment comes from decisions you and others have made in the past, reflecting natural cause-and-effect. When this card comes up in your Tarot reading, make sure you are acting fairly in all your interactions with others."

Libra card!!!! This year we have covid hitting, a quiet year for content all round. We have the stereo shows starting up at the end of the year along with the phouse announcement. This year also featured Steve the pigeon (pigeon fest/rescuing a pigeon video).

When we look at cause and effect, the phouse is what comes to mind. They worked themselves so hard in the years previous and they were able to buy and design their forever home. The cause and effect of them coming out is also seen in their ability to be open with the audience that they are continuing to not only live together but purchase and build property together. If they had not come out, things like buying a house together would've raised so many more questions and possibly caused more issues for them and their privacy (fan speculation). This new era really hinged on them coming out and setting themselves up as an ambiguous couple. In this case the cause and effect really benefitted them.

The Hanged Man - 12

2021

"The Hanged Man tells you that sometimes small sacrifices are required to benefit the bigger picture. When The Hanged Man arises in your reading, you likely want to make a move but don't know where to begin. Lightening your grip on what's no longer working for you, or detaching from the outcome of your situation, can help you release yourself."

This year gives us the first joint video since 2018 in the form of 'something we want to tell you'. This marks Dan's return to being perceived online. Subsequently we have the book release in May, YWGTTN, and they move into the somewhat uncompleted phouse.

We get many iconic videos this year showing a shift in their on camera dynamic - a loosening grip on the wall they built up with the audience during the early years. They let us in on alot more of those moments that drive us absolutely insane, the smiles were off the charts and we started eating good again. They have begun trusting the audience with more of their authentic selves and silly dynamic. In Phil's recent video where he looks at old profile pics, he talks fondly about the silly icon pic from him and Dan during lockdown.

I think the sentiment of no longer caring what people think is really echoed in this years content. The boys are self assured and care less about what people have to say because they are successful and have nothing to hide.

The hanged man is shown in this loosening grip on hiding parts of themselves and allowing themselves to trust the audience more knowing that whatever the outcome they have each other and that in enough.

Death - 13

2022

"One of the most misunderstood Tarot cards, Death is not a card about physical death. The Death card speaks of cycles and is a reminder that all things must pass. Hanging on to situations from the past will hinder you from allowing new, better things to enter your life. In every ending lies a chance for a new beginning."

wad year/DD/wiqy

What can I say. Death card for WAD year? It just makes sense. A year where Dan and Phil spent the most time apart since they met in 2009, taking a break from the cycle of their everyday life.

We also got Dan's WIQY video, again reflecting on the last few years and essentially announcing his burn out. Giving up on being Youtube's 'golden boy' by speaking his mind about how he was effected by circumstances beyond his control.

Then we have WAD. The show being reflective of his past and the future for the earth. This year truly felt like a rebirth for Dan specifically. He was back on the internet, Dystopia Daily, being able to openly make gay jokes. He went back out into the world and found meaning in existence again. And once that meaning was obtained, he went back to Phil. A new beginning in how they both show up online, unapologetically themselves.

Temperance - 14

2023

"The Temperance card is a master of moderation. She encourages peace and patience, and reminds you to go with the flow of your life instead of trying to force its pace or direction. When Temperance turns up in your Tarot reading, it is a message to take things as they come, and remain flexible enough to change with the changes."

2023 brought us more DD, end of WAD, The 3rd Japhan trip, the Phude, and the return of the gaming channel.

This is a year of things slowly going back to routine for DnP. Dan comes back from tour, they go on holiday to Japan. Up until the gaming channel coming off hiatus 2023 was seemingly a chill flux and flow for dnp. The flow (this is a water heavy card) of their life returned to normal.

While DnP certainly didn't make this comeback with moderation (leaping straight into spooky week and then gamingmas as well as merch drops) they wouldn't have come back without a serious plan to keep their workaholic tendency's in check.

The Devil - 15

2024

"The Devil card carries themes of restraint and powerlessness. When it comes up in your Tarot reading, you are likely feeling stuck. The Devil has convinced you that you have no options, but this couldn't be further from the truth. You hold the keys to your own freedom, but it's up to you to open the lock."

So we all know the crafty video from this year has direct symbolism to the devil card. There have been many great analyses between the two so I won't go into that as much here. But what I will say is that I see this card for this year as an unshackling of themselves. We see them far more open and willing to trust the audience to be in on the joke rather than and us vs. them situation of the 2012 era. So rather than them feeling stuck I believe this symbolises them no longer being stuck and stepping into their most honest selves while still maintaining their boundaries.

That concludes my wee dive into dnp lore and how it relates to the major arcana. I am not someone with a huge amount of knowledge on tarot (just a wee bit from my own experience of doing a card read every so often but certainly not someone who has ever studied tarot), so if you are big on tarot absolutely chime in and add to this!! I am also so sure I missed dnp lore but hey I did what I could! Also big ty to @boardgamedanny for being on video call with me for 2 days in a row to suggest things and pipe in and also distract me horrendously. Also biiig thanku to my friend, Peter, who isn't on here but sparked this whole thing, with their tarot knowledge and my dnp brain encyclopedia.

No, but seriously, imagine it:

Angie finally becomes human and starts a successful DJ-ing business and lets go of alcohol. Dani becomes a world-renowned athlete and falls in love with a cheerleader. Cassandra makes it huge on Broadway and beocmes an EGOT Winner, as well as falling in love with a nice paramedic from New York. Bela gets her heart back and becomes a school teacher, while also mending her relationships with her sisters. As for Alcina? She finds love in an artist and continues to build the finest art collection in the world. Donna takes up doll-making again and gets over her anxiety, creating a travelling store that sells her own custom creations and flowers. And Miranda? She lets go of her love for MC and adopts a young girl, letting go of her evil ways and closing down the school, realizing she was a bit insane. MC dies of a cocaine overdose. Elena finally becomes free of the coffee shop and starts her own coffee chain, which becomes even more popular than Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. Mia's Pokemon collection ends up becoming the biggest in the world and she even gets her own character in the Pokemon games as a testament to how big of a fan she is. Heisenberg retires from his car repair shop and becomes a freelance welder. All the other students graduate and be successful in their lives. The Cass stans become stan twitter icons and end up becoming nurses. As all their futures unfold in the credits, Whistle by Flo Rida plays in the background as Cass arrives and starts to say "Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby, let me know. Girl I'm gonna show you how to do it and we start real slow. You just put your lips together and you come real close. Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby? Here we go!" And the screen fades to black, with a polaroid of all the characters waving and thanking the player for all they've done. Cue final credits. Then if things couldn’t get any better, Dan and Phil walk onto stage and kiss, holding the gay flag.

Hello fellow, WAD attendees! The first video I ever saw by Daniel Howell was Basically, I’m Gay. Truly an iconic video for my first ever time watching him and one that makes me oddity in Phannie circles. It truly changed my life. It didn’t make me realize that I’m gay - I had been out as a lesbian for roughly three years by this point - but it filled me with a sense of pride I’d never truly felt before. I saw my experience as a mentally ill, closeted (even to myself) teenager who dealt with bullies reflected in this man I’d heard of so often but had never watched. Soon I was watching all of his, and Phil’s, content - swept up by how funny he is, yes, but also kind, creative, and compassionate. I can’t wait to watch We’re All Doomed and everything he does in the future. 🖤

I don't own anything orange but I think Dan would approve of the all-black fit.

#wadgala #wad premiere #daniel howell #we're all doomed #meg speaks #i never take selfies but I tried!!! #excuse the random stuff in the background in the 2nd one lol #my mom has the better mirror so i snuck in her room to take these #my face

Marvel's Short Stories That Redefined Superhero Comics

In the rich tapestry of Marvel Comics, there are epic sagas and sweeping crossovers that capture our imaginations and define the superhero genre. However, some of the most profound and enduring tales are found in the pages of shorter stories—narratives that span four issues or fewer. These concise yet impactful stories have left an indelible mark on readership, the comic book industry, and how we perceive superheroes. Let's explore how these short stories, including "Powerless," reshaped the world of Marvel Comics

1. "X-Men: Days of Future Past" (Uncanny X-Men #141-142, 1981)

"Days of Future Past" catapulted readers into a dystopian future where mutants are hunted to near extinction. This tale of time travel and the consequences of prejudice resonated deeply. It showcased the potential for comic books to address social issues, shining a spotlight on bigotry and discrimination. Its influence can be seen in subsequent X-Men stories that continue to tackle real-world problems

2. "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" (The Amazing Spider-Man #248, 1984)

A single-issue masterpiece, this story touched the hearts of readers worldwide. It revealed the human side of superheroes, reminding us that these characters, despite their extraordinary abilities, are grounded in humanity. "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" humanized the superhero genre, emphasizing the impact these icons can have on fans

3. "Vision and the Scarlet Witch" (Vision and the Scarlet Witch #1-4, 1982)

While not strictly a short story but much shorter than "Demon in a Bottle", this series explored the personal lives of two Avengers in an intimate and relatable way. It demonstrated that superheroes are not just costumes and powers but individuals with complex emotions and relationships. "Vision and the Scarlet Witch" (not The Vision and the Scarlet Witch 12 issues series) redefined the portrayal of personal lives within the superhero genre

4. "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" (The Amazing Spider-Man #121-122, 1973)

The story that started the Bronze Age! This two-issue arc forever altered the perception of superhero storytelling. The death of Gwen Stacy was a turning point, showcasing that superheroes do not always emerge victorious and unscathed. It added a layer of realism and emotional depth to Spider-Man's world

5. "The Death of Jean DeWolff" (The Spectacular Spider-Man #107-110, 1985)

A gritty murder mystery within Spider-Man's world, this story proved that superheroes can explore darker themes. It demonstrated the versatility of the genre, showing that it could tackle complex and mature subject matter

6. "God Loves, Man Kills" (Marvel Graphic Novel no. 5)

This graphic novel delved into themes of prejudice and discrimination. It elevated the X-Men beyond mere superheroics, highlighting the allegorical nature of their struggle. "God Loves, Man Kills" made it clear that comics could be a powerful platform for social commentary

7. "The Trial of Reed Richards" (Fantastic Four #262-265, 1984)

This storyline explored the legal ramifications of superhero actions. It demonstrated that superheroes are not above the law and can be held accountable for their actions. "The Trial of Reed Richards" added a layer of complexity to the superhero genre, reflecting real-world concerns

8. "Marvels" (Marvels #1-4, 1994)

This four-issue limited series takes a unique approach by exploring the lives of ordinary people in a world filled with superheroes. It delves into themes of powerlessness and how everyday individuals navigate a world where superhuman abilities are the norm. "Marvels" offers a different perspective from the eye(s) of journalist Phil Sheldon on the Marvel Universe, highlighting the challenges faced by those who can't match the extraordinary feats of superheroes

In conclusion, these short stories within the Marvel Universe have left an enduring legacy. They impacted readers by addressing real-world issues, challenged the comic book industry to embrace mature and diverse storytelling, and redefined how we perceive superheroes. These tales remind us that beneath the masks and capes, superheroes are reflections of our own humanity, and their stories can be as complex and thought-provoking as any other literary genre

Marvel's short stories have proven that superhero comics are more than just entertainment; they mirror our world and aspirations. These concise narratives have shown that profound storytelling can occur within the limited confines of a few issues. They have opened the doors for deeper exploration of characters, themes, and societal issues, and they continue to inspire creators and readers alike to push the boundaries of what superhero comics can achieve

In a genre often associated with bombastic battles and larger-than-life conflicts, these short stories are a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the ability of comics to engage our hearts and minds. As we celebrate the impact of these narratives, we are reminded that sometimes, the most significant stories come in the smallest packages

Dick Grayson’s Nightwing Suits (2/2) - Elseworlds/Multimedia Edition

Dick has appeared in quite a few Elseworlds (non-canon comic universes) and Multimedia projects. Most of the suits used in fantasy settings seem to take much of their inspiration from Dick’s early more flamboyant costumes. In recent years, he’s also worn jackets in two separate Elseworlds and one video game.

This isn’t a complete list of all Elseworld and Multimedia suits. A lot of Elseworlds suits are quite similar to the fingerstripes suit while cartoons have the habit of using a bird emblem.

Brothers of the Night Designed by: Michael William Kaluta (drawn by various) First Appearance: JLA: Riddle of the Beast (2001)

Riddle of the Beast is a fantasy adventure DC describes as their version of Lord of the Rings. The regalia and warrior suit Dick wears are clearly meant to draw parallels to Dick’s early suits with their focus on midnight blue and feather-esque stripes of gold.

Facets Designed by: Scott Lee First Appearance: New Titans Annual #10 (1994)

In their version in ‘Facets’ the New Titans rise in a magical world of sword and sorcery. Here too Dick’s warrior suit is largely inspired by the Mulletwing suit, which was his suit at the time. Even though the golden wings seem functional, they aren’t.

Unused Kingdom Come Suit Designed by: Alex Ross First Appearance: None

Dick Grayson appeared in Kingdom Come as the original Red Robin but, apparently, there were plans to make him Nightwing. The black suit has a dramatic cape and a beaked hood. A large golden bird emblem stretches over Dick’s chest. Alex Ross later repurposed the suit and used it for a Nightwing Chris Kent design.

Gotham City Garage Designed by: Aneke First Appearance: Gotham City Garage #4 (2018)

In Gotham City Garage, Nightwing doesn’t wear anything but a leather jacket with some clothes. A variation of his iconic symbol has instead been inked onto his chest. Because of his connection to Catwoman, the emblem is a cat. 

Batman: White Knight Designed by: Sean Murphy First Appearance: Batman: White Knight #1

Sean Murphy has designed a few different suits for Dick, but this is the one that truly features what a Nightwing suit needs. Apart from the jacket with emblem and suit combo, Murphy notably gives Dick a triangular mask. It also incorporates the bird emblem that The Next Batman Adventures popularized.

Futures End Designed by Sean Chen First Appearance: Batman Beyond (2016) #40 (2020)

Unlike most of Dick’s suits, the Futures End suit features a much narrower chevron. It is underlined by a kind of angular u-shape.

The Next Batman Adventures Designed by: Bruce Timm & others First Appearance: The New Batman Adventures S1 E2

The Next Batman Adventures marks Nightwing’s first appearance in a cartoon. This Nightwing suit is notable for its use of a chevron in the shape of a bird. This design element has since been incorporated into several other designs, including Nightwing Rebirth’s and Bruno Redondo’s suits for the comics.

Young Justice The Animated Series Designed by: Phil Bourassa (Lead Character Designer) & Various First Appearances: Young Justice S2 & S4

Unlike the comics, where Dick’s suits have gotten darker over time, in Young Justice Dick starts out with a small bird crest before changing to a suit with a large chevron and fingerstripes, though the blue is darker. The same trend can be observed in the DC Animated Movie Universe.

Harley Quinn the Animated Series Designed by: Shane Glines & Alex Wilson First Appearance: Harley Quinn S3 E2

The Harley Quinn Nightwing suit is much brighter and lighter with a large, light blue chevron and a blue-collar, but the most original aspect of this design is not the suit at all - Dick has brown skin, something which the Rom had previously only been drawn with for a brief time in the 2000s by Gregory Wright. This was quickly changed, as in Nightwing’s first appearance in the Harley Quinn tie-in comics he has pale skin.

HBO Titans Designed by: Laura Jean Shannon & Joyce Schure First Appearance: Titans S2 E13

The Titans suit is currently the only live-action version of the Nightwing suit. Though Dick Grayson has been featured in several live-action movies and shows, he is almost always Robin, not Nightwing. No other character has held Nightwing in a live-action adaptation.

Gotham Knights Designed by: Laura Jean Shannon & Joyce Schure First Appearance: Gotham Knights (2022)

Dick’s latest video game suit incorporates him wearing a jacket as well. While the Arkham Games gave him the neutral chevron, Gotham Knights is using the more modern bird head in combination with it.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Hello, my friends! It's been a while, hasn't it?

I will try to be as simple yet thorough as possible. I'm back, but with many changes for this current time.

I plan to only open this blog for tumblr rp and shift focus over to solely Phil, as he's the muse I have the most love for at the moment. I will be clearing out and dropping all threads in the coming days, as the sheer amount has begun overwhelming me. However, I will allow us to sort of pick up where we left off in a new post if necessary, and I will be allowing pre-established relationships for future interactions if you so choose. All I ask is discussion of it first :)

I still haven't entirely gotten used to the new way of formatting threads, and this is partly why I left in the first place, so please have patience while I learn navigation. It's very frustrating to me.

While Phil will be the only muse on Tumblr currently, I am opening soft opportunity for people to rp with a plethora of characters over Discord. (NOTE: I can be extremely slow on Discord, but this does not mean I don't want to rp with you.)

To view the list and fill out a short interest checker, please click here.

To build upon what Chiropterica is, it is essentially a land I have built which plays upon Chiroptera and America, and is a world very similar to our own but has bat-people which can walk upright and have formed a society much akin to zootopia. More info on it here.

I may use icons on discord depending on what I have, but I don't expect anyone else to use icons if they don't want to.

TLDR;

I am back from hiatus, but the only available muse will be Phil, and I'm dropping threads to start fresh. I offer interaction over Discord with other characters. Please fill out my form :)

Fire On The Mountain (Rob Thomas)

Fire on the mountain * Through the fields, save yourself * There's evil in the garden * You don't see it, I can tell

Is This The End (Hidden Citizens, ft. Young Summer & Sam Tinnesz)

The future is almost stolen, * The past keeps us wide awake * The shadows among the broken, * Too late for us to save

Human (Civil Twilight)

There's one way out and no way in * Back to the beginning * There's one way back to home again * To where I feel forgiven

Brittle (Icon For Hire)

They call me difficult * 'Cause I don't fit in the lines * But I didn't get this far * Without any scars * I'm not brittle * Well, maybe just a little

You Are All That Matters

Hello, I have posted this somewhere in internet and decided to post here too since I’m intriguing by my friends’ activities here hahaha. So, please enjoy and I apologise if my way of writing is so messy since English is not my mother tongue. Some parts will be changed to adjust with the plots. I wish you could bear it and enjoy my writing.

Summary:

MWAF messaged you, offering you a huge deal to agree with; coming to Duskwood. This is your final battle, your purpose to be since in the first place. What are you going to face at the mine; a friendly welcome from the perpretrator or grief from the person to whom you are very important? Warning Episode 10.

Chapters: 1/?

< Previous Chapter | Next Chapter >

I was still stunned with what just happened few minutes ago. Michael Hanson came and got shot twice, thanks to the Jack Daniels. Apparently, Dan is right with his confidence around the gun. But how unfortunate we lost our perpetrator; he was almost on our finger tips, vulnerable and invaded by bullets, but Thomas did not understand the assignment very well.

“God,” I was sitting next to my bed and resting my head on the linen, staring above the ceiling of my studio. Both of my eyes are closing for a while as I was trying to reassure myself to remain calm. This nightmare that changed everyone’s lives, this long nightmare is nearing the end... we almost reached the tunnel.

You only need to hold out a little longer, MC. We are nearing the end of our path.

I was massaging my temples while my mind is wandering, remembering every word of Jake said. You are better right about this, Jake. You better be right. While still changing gaze with my ceiling, my cellphone that vibrating pull me back to the reality. One message pops off from its screen, it’s from Dan.

I have no clue since when Dan put his interest with me, put his trust on me. He is showing more positive demeanor toward me more than once. At first, how he told me about the reason he forgot his first day in Aurora because he took care of Lilly which put Jessy in difficult situation.  I don’t know if that counted though since I told him I would let him to help under one condition, which is telling his secret. But still, I had no clue if that was the secret. Then before Michael came, he told me the awful story about his father—or in this case, another douche bag—and right now, the man behind this screen was telling me another secret. How he testified against Phil.

MC: Jessy is going to kill you

I typed frankly, hoping him realized about what kind of future he will face.

DAN: I deserve that

Thankfully, he seems already prepared with what will happen next in his life; not just got stood up on date by the woman you love, but now you are the prey that ready to be hunted down by her. I glance to the screen as the pencil icon is disappeared.

DAN: No word yet from hackerboy?

MC: No, Jake hasn’t sent me any new messages

I frowned toward my cellphone, as if I could see Dan’s face. I know where this is going.

MC: I can practically hear your undertone

DAN: He missed all the action

DAN: When everything went crazy up in here

DAN: He was just gone

DAN: Kinda weird, isn’t it

I narrowed my eyes toward his last text, sending him my replies right away.

MC: What are you trying to say?

MC: You think Jake is the kidnapper?

MC: That’s ridiculous

DAN: I’m just saying

DAN: Hackerman disappears

DAN: Crowface turns up

DAN: Pretty weird

DAN: But what do I know

Jake is always such a red flag to Dan, after knowing his story about his father, I kind of understand Dan. He just worries and wants to protect his friends. Jake has done everything to help for finding Hannah and now Richy, he already proved that he is one of the good guys, but still and all, Jake is still such a danger to him. I just wish I could tell Dan and the others that Jake is Hannah and Lilly’s half-brother and this kind of misunderstand will just be vanished and they can fully trust him.

I tossed my phone to my side and not reply him again. I don’t think it’s wise to reply Dan any longer; I’m afraid I will be full of rage and end up spilling the beans. I stood up from my position and walk out to the kitchen, feeling to have a cup of tea to calm down my nerve. Tonight feels longer more than ever.

Having cup of tea indeed managed to send the signal toward my body to loosen up a little bit, but seems like God hates me because when I’m back to my bed, there is new message that I wished I never got.

UNKNOWN: MC

UNKNOWN: There is a hatch in the ground close to the waterfall at the Grimrock

UNKNOWN: Beneath that is a tunnel which leads to the Ironsplinter Mine

UNKNOWN: That’s where Hannah and Richy are

I gasped after reading the messages; I put my cup next to me and concentrate to every word there. Grimrock. Ironsplinter Mine. Hannah and Richy. I clenched my jaw trying to process everything that happens. So, that’s why Alan couldn’t find them, because there is secret passage that everyone didn’t know.

MC: Why are you telling me this?

UNKNOWN: I will let them both go

UNKNOWN: Under one condition

No. I already knew what his intention. LadyLotus from Dark Mystery Forum already warned me about the offer I will meet in the future and she said I should decline it. But, Michael suddenly turned to me and gave all the details about where Hannah and Richy are. It means he trusts me, it means he also wants it to end. Without another stage of overanalyzing, I was writing him again, trying to know what is the demand.

MC: What is the condition?

UNKNOWN: I want you to come to Duskwood

MC: What?

UNKNOWN: Nobody will get hurt

After everything that happened, only for me to come to Duskwood? For what, Michael? Why is it so important for you that I come to Duskwood?

MC: Why, Michael?

MC: Do you really think I believe you?

MC: After everything you have done to us?

UNKNOWN: Come to the Grimrock and they are free to go

UNKNOWN IS NOW OFFLINE

He didn’t answer any of my questions and just went offline. I check my screen to see if Jake is online and hoping him to read along our messages, but he’s still missing. I didn’t think twice and let my fingers typing some messages toward Michael.

MC: Sure, but please wait a little longer. I’m kind of far away from your comfy place right now

MC: And don’t message me until I do

UNKNOWN IS NOW ONLINE

UNKNOWN IS NOW OFFLINE

No doubt I almost tear up while my fingers were trying to delete some messages that Michael and I have discussed earlier right away; removing the evidences so Jake would never knew Michael’s demand toward me. It feels so wrong, but I know it’s the right thing to do.

Well... how did you like it? I wish you have a great time reading it. I will update as soon as possible. Thank you for spending your time to read this and even leaving your print here.

Thunder Only Happens When It's Raining (ao3) - Nefertiti1052 (Succubusphan)

whatever they say, your soul's unbreakable (ao3) - happy_endings15

The Crown S5E2 Commentary: 

Non-Spoiler Version - It’s a Philip and Diana centric episode; interwoven as separate stories. A solid Diana episode that’s warming me up to Elizabeth’s portrayal of her. The Phillip side was entertaining knowing what’s to come. Kind of feeling mixed feeling about the dynamic between the new Phil and Di but more on that under the cut. 

Spoilers Under The Cut: 

"I gave up the great love of my life for something new" Lmaooo foreshadowing Ohmygod Philly totally took advantage of the sad-horny pipeline shdkdks

Ummm why is Di just spilling secrets to everyone??? OH it's James Colhurst Oh fuck is her phone being tapped wtff

Penny dearest he's got liver spots WHY would you have an affair with him??Boy you were literally fine a minute ago what's going on??? End of life crisis?? All the double entendres alluding to their future affair is so funny pls I can't even

I'm cackling at James looking like a school boy from Eton returning home for the holidays sjdkdk

She sounds and looks like Di for sure just the mannerisms hmmm I need to watch rewatch some of the old Di clips after this Okay I'm warming up to her

I'm sure Philip was a horse boy before this but the way they never showed it but now he's become The Horse Boy is funny af Oh giving her gifts buddy you're playing a dangerous game

Andrew Morton feels shady I wanna listen to these tapes I wanna cryyyy Diana my beloved 😭😭 Oh gosh James

I'm glad Di's got a good system now; she's finally getting stronger Lmao Di these aren't your friends dhdkjdd Bro wtf this is terrifying the way James got hit and Morton's home was robbed

Penny you fucking snitch stay out of it

The dyanmic between this Di and Phil is off and they don't have the natural (familial) chemistry that Emma and Tobias had

Not Philly trying to hide his emotional affair Not Lizzie talking about God watching over them 🤡🤡

LIONEL RICHIE!! The soundtrack is popping off

Omgg she published the book! Good for her Lmaooo Andrew Morton be spitting facts Oh gosh she looks brilliant in that Queen Mary tiara - one of her most iconic looks tbh

"All Out War" God I'm terrified for her.

[phillipdiffy]

yes kate is an icon also hope she and lizzie are friends. what other classic disney shows should have a revival? i know they've already done raven, kim possible & the proud family but are there any other shows you would have wanted to see a more mature version like what lizzie was meant to be? i think phil of the future could be fun, getting to see phil & keely reunite as adults. - 🤶

a phil of the future revival could be cool! I'm not sure how they'd incorporate the changes to tech in the years since but I think they could do a lot of fun things with that. I think a Hannah Montana or Wizards revival could be a lot of fun! For cartoons I'll say I'd love to see another season of Gravity Falls (but like I'm totally fine with how it ended they did the right thing ending when they did I just also miss it lol). Also you didn't ask, but I'd also like to see Lemonade Mouth 2 and Teen Beach 3.

Dick Grayson’s Nightwing Suits (1/2) - Comics Canon  Edition

Over the years Dick has had many Nightwing suits. Some of them look quite different - especially in his first decade as Nightwing - while others have gotten slight variations over the years. Dick’s most recognizable Nightwing suites can be seen above.

70s-80s suit: DISCOWING Created by: George Perez First Appearance: Tales of the Teen Titans #44 (1983)

Dick’s first Nightwing suit is the most colorful of the bunch. It owes its name to the popular disco fashion of its time. Even though the darker fabric of Dick’s first costume is often colored in a darker blue, it’s actually intended to be black. The variations of the suit mostly differentiate themselves by the height of Dick’s collar and the deepness of his neckline. On some occasions, the golden feathers already get replaced by the golden squares more prevalent to Dick’s second outfit.

The origin of Dick’s suit depends on his Nightwing origin. In some cases, it was his father's old aerial suit that later got repurposed by Alfred to make Dick a suit, while in other cases Starfire made him the suit. In Nightwing Year One, we see that Deadman also had a suit inspired by John Grayson’s aerial suit.

90s suit: MULLETWING Created by: Tom Grummett First Appearance: The New Titans #88 (1992)

Dick’s second distinct Nightwing suit owes its name to his hairstyle - though on some occasions Dick had his mullet in a ponytail. While it retains the same blue-black-gold color scheme, the blue isn’t as prevalent as before. In some cases, Dick can use his golden wings as a parachute. Ironically, the golden feathers had by then been replaced by golden squares. The outfit mostly stayed the same over the years. Only his belt comes in slight variations. Though the most recent modern versions of it that appeared during the New 52 and in Future State: Teen Titans are quite different from the original suit.

90s-2000s suit: FINGERSTRIPES Created by: Brian Stelfreeze First Appearance: Nightwing (1994) #1

Dick’s most famous and beloved suit was created for his first solo-comic. It rarely changed visuals in an obvious way. Mostly, the arm and shin guards were drawn differently depending on the artist - Rick Leonardi made them much more obvious and bulky, reflecting street fashion in the early 2000s, while Jim Lee slimmed them down, making them almost invisible. While on Titans, Phil Jimenez decided to color Dick’s shin guards blue. It’s one of the more obvious design deviations from the initial suit. Though this design started with Dick having a long ponytail, early in Nightwing (1996) his hair was cut, which became the most iconic version of this design.

2011-2014:The New52 Red Suit Created by: Jim Lee & Cully Hammer First Appearance: Nightwing (2011) #1 (2011)

This is an awkward one. The suit is mostly known for doing away with the blue color scheme and the fingerstripes and is therefore not liked by many fans. That only changed a little when Brett Booth did not only bring back the fingerstripes but also gave Dick some nice stripes to accent his hips. Interestingly the concept art put Dick in black and blue instead of black and red. In an interview with Polygon in 2021, DC co-publisher Dan Didio said that he had several arguments with artists who wanted to make the suit blue.

2016 - 2021: Rebirth Suit Created by: Javier Fernandez First Appearance: Nightwing: Rebirth #1 (2016)

When Rebirth was announced, one of the first things Dan Didio proclaimed was that Blue Nightwing would be back. While the fingerstripes remained sorely missing, the Rebirth suit grew on people. The suit remained largely consistent. The quite thin chevron-bird became thicker as time went by. Brett Booth brought the hip stripes back for this costume while he drew Dick on Titans. He also gave the costume a more distinct collar.

2022 - Now: Redondo Suit Created by : Bruno Redondo First Appearance: Nightwing (2016) #88 (2022)

Redondo’s suit saw the return of the fingerstripes after about a decade without them. His first concept art introduced some other changes that sadly didn’t make it into the comics. Redondo’s primary design innovations have been in the gadgets hidden in Nightwing’s escrima.

Nightwing’s Shoes Some artists like to give Dick’s Nightwing shoes some extra flourish.

Nightwing’s Jackets Some artists occasionally give Nightwing a jacket, either plain or emblazoned with his crest. There are also two Elseworlds Nightwing designs that include jackets.
