Hi I wrote a little thing based on this art by ultimatedirk (which is really cool go reblog it)
"I want to be kind," Sky says, and it is a decision. It is an act of mercy, the demon king spitting out a curse as he stays his blade, just long enough to give him a chance.
"I want to be kind," Four says, and it is teamwork. It is learning how to act in balance, to never stifle the part of himself that can see the best in people.
"I want to be kind," Time says, and it is a prayer. It is a plea to the universe to let him stay innocent, please, just a little. Just enough.
"I want to be kind," Twilight says, and it is a reflection of his home. It is what he was raised to be, it is his parents and his brother and his village.
"I want to be kind," Wind says, and it is a choice. It is stubbornness, paired with a sword he was never meant to wield and a power he was never meant to have. He made himself a hero, he can make himself kind, too.
"I want to be kind," Legend says, and it is a scream. It is sinking in nails and teeth and refusing to allow this, too, to be taken. It is pain and desperation and defiance.
"I want to be kind," Hyrule says, and it is quiet determination. It is finding the beauty in the broken, the kindness in the suffering. It is a search, but one that is worth it.
"I want to be kind," Warriors says, and it is a surrender. It is laying down his sword, allowing himself to believe that kindness is not weakness, is not an opening for betrayal.
"I want to be kind," Wild says, and it is a rewriting. It is a new identity, pieced together by his own hands, formed into what he wants it to be, and no one else can tell him that it is too soft, too gentle. He can make himself that way, and he does.
Whenever I remember the fact that I've had dirk strider as my tumblr header for 5 years straight I giggle (ignoring the fact that my username is literally ultimatedirk)
What if I was to say I’m making a discord server for the ARG welcome home? Would anyone like to join?
(If you do just ask and I’ll make sure to tag you when it’s officially out and for updates)
Below is fanart I found for welcome home. This is in hopes this will help spread my post. Please any sort of promoting would really help and make my day! Thank you.

I will add more later on. Like I said any form of spreading this would really mean a lot to me, and as for the artists I tagged I apologize if I may have caused any confusion when I tagged you.
30. What if you had the chance to build the next creative team for a Nightwing run, who would be a part of it?
Tumblr Creative Team
Nightwing #87
If I’m going to be in charge of the new DC creative team, if decided to go a different route and pick Tumblr creatives to build up a great team, to be honest there are so many better artists and authors than DC has in their arsenal, I’d love to see these fans take the reigns and make real positive changes to the Nightwing series.
I feel like the people I’ve picked are amazing artists, and fans who see Nightwing’s character in a similar way and would also be better at including his history. Here’s the team!
Penciller: @vanillabean-97 and @finalgirljasontodd
Vanilla for great pencil design of Dick Grayson and finalgirl for details
Inker: @stained-glass-sketchbook
I know I have designers, but I still love their outfit designs too and their tactical Nightwing suit is GORGEOUS.
Colorist: @ultimatedirk and @duckytree
Cover artist 1: @crow-sizna
I think it goes without saying, crow could put Bruno Redondo and Dan Mora out of their jobs
Variant cover artist 1: @lomakes
One of the original designers to make Dick Grayson the way I see him today, probably who Travis Moore bases their Dick Grayson in, especially love their appreciation for Dick Grayson’s best outfits
Variant cover artist 2: @sentine1ist
They have one of the most unique styles, the color and design all come together amazingly
Character design: @allineedisonedream
One of the people who just understands Dick Grayson is the Barbie of the DC universe, I love every design they come up with
PHENOMENAL flash fan, I think they should be in charge of the series when Jeremy is done, I honestly love reading their blog to catch up on everything flash
Look I know at this point I’m building a whole flash team too but it’s these tumblrs fault for being so good, and I’ve decided they’re gonna have a lot of crossovers that’s why the team is big
Flash editor: @pulsar-1919
Flash artist: @lightmare000
Flash assistant artist 1: @vvunderkind
Flash assistant artist 2: @artiificiial
I won’t even hide the flash favoritism at this point
Flash design: @absolutelynotsanebaby
Don’t @ me for cheating making choices is hard when there’s so many good ones😭
Titans Crossover Writer: @disco-troy
This blog along with lomakes, Danny, and starfire truther are go to titans blogs
Titans artist: @starfiretruther and @fatimajpeg
I really wanted star as a writer too but I can’t live without their art😭
Tim Drake Crossover Writer: @junkoandthediamonds
Absolute Tim Drake dictionary
Tim Drake artist: @clambuoyance
Great designs and great Tim
Booster and Beetle Crossover Writer: @melonnabar and @boosterblue
I know it’s two but it’s two characters and they’re both too good
Booster and Beetle artist: @frightshack
Batfam Crossover Writer: @arabian-batboy
Honestly, if I want a Batfam crossover I want the person who understands Damian the best, I love this blog
Batfam Artist: @ninalinovna
Outfit designer: @ghostpainters
Honestly could plan out all the landscapes too, they have such great attention to background detail and style
Their gradient coloring style is beautiful
There were so many more tumblrs I wish I could have included, but the team can only be so big!😭 please check out these tumblrs and give them a follow, they are my blorbo tumblrs 🥹🌸 also I haven’t fully explored every art blog here except for lomakes so don’t blame me if you find weird stuff🤷♀️.
Also, there were two tumblrs I REALLY wanted to include, but I can’t find them! One is the tumblr that did a painting of Wally West from Earth 18, but tumblr won’t let me search the numbers 18. Second is another amazing artist who draws Dick Grayson with purple hair at the end. If any of you know these tumblrs please let me know!
And a special thank you to @31dod for creating this really wonderful and creative challenge, it seriously made my month and gave me a lot of opportunities to express all of the things I like about Dick Grayson, I’ve had creative block for a bit but this really fixed it. I also appreciate all of their patience for how late so many of my posts have been, (including this one). The month is over but I hope you guys enjoyed my 31 days!
DPXDC Damian X Danny
Absolutely incredible Damian art by @stariver00 and slightly edited by me (If you would like this taken down for using your art, please dm and I will delete the post immediately)
Equally amazing Danny art by @ultimatedirk and again, slightly edited by me (Same as above, if you would like this taken down for using your art, please dm me, and I will delete this immediately)
[This post is meant for humor, it is a haha funny meme, please for gods sake don't take it too seriously]
