unrelated to anything but also i just thought about tim's oyl suit again. "they were his colors" how exactly did everyone working on this comic go "yeah we can just publish that. #nohomo #guysbeingdudes #bromance" like......... ????? like not just "they were his colors" but the way jimmy quietly goes oh. genuinely the kind of mental gymnastics required to write and publish this and be like yeah that's normal heterosexual guy behavior. my god

#timkon #ik this is rhetorical but like #the answer is definitely that tim’s stories have had gay undertones the whole time right #like nobody clocked it bc that’s just always how they’ve written tim #every tim arc is just like #tim found a new Guy to obsess over #maybe it’s batman and robin #maybe it’s that guy he watched undress in the locker room #maybe it’s his teammate #maybe it’s his other teammate #maybe it’s his internet boyfriend #maybe it’s his roommate at his all boys school #i’m not going chronologically here but you get the idea #and then in between all that it’s like #an arc about how he doesn’t want to have sex with his girlfriend #an arc about how his girlfriends pregnant but he did not have sex with her #an arc about him and his sister elaborately faking his own death so he doesn’t have to have sex with a girl #and then sometimes he fights crime or learns to skateboard or whatever #that’s just a Tim story

Who’s the worse dad?

View the brackets here. Reasons for submission under the cut.

Jack Drake:

Listen I do think he loved Tim but by God that doesn't make their relationship healthy

Rudy West:

I mean fuckin look at him

he keeps on abusing and manipulating his son, and has even hit him multiple times in comic issues. he constantly puts down Wally's dreams, he's a despicable person. he even collaborated with siblings to create AN ENTIRE CULT just so he can keep his son under his own fingers. no wonder Wally's more receptive to Barry, eugh.

there was definitely a thing with a cult mixed in with the normal bad parenting

so i've been on this site for a hot minute and i've always operated on the idea that if you're here long enough you'll end up with at least one popular text post but uh, maybe that's not true? so, i wanna know

#my last two blogs were for marvel fanfic #you don’t have to say anything. i know #and for both the one i ran in middle school and the one i ran in high school #i was cursed with the same affliction #where i wrote a dumb under 1k fic purely for a silly punchline #and both times not only did it breach rare pair containment #but i had ppl from other fandoms tagging it like #idk who these ppl are but this is sooo blorboxblorbo #do you know how far outside of my tumblr curcle you have to go to find ppl who don’t at least vaguely know who the avengers are

patiently waiting for my favorite fan artist to reopen commissions rn so i can politely offer them my whole pay check to draw jason with tboy swag

#dc #jason todd #got the jason brain worms again i fear

[tribibble]

the funny option would be if jason got programmed to feel anxiety with every spike of adrenaline and it did not alter his behaviour at all because that's just how he normally is.

DC is set to release a "faux-simile" reprint of Batman #428, originally published in 1988, with an unpublished alternate ending.

This issue is famous for the death of Jason Todd, the second Robin, at the hands of the Joker. However, the twist here is that in 1988, fans were allowed to vote on Jason's fate, and they chose his demise by a narrow 72-vote margin.

Decades later, Jason Todd was revived as the Red Hood. The alternate ending, created by the original creative team, will finally be revealed to fans when the 'Faux-simile' edition of Batman #428 is released on December 12.

#dc #jason todd #do i already have the deluxe death in the family collection with the alternate ending? yes #will i still be spending money on this? also yes

Magdalene Visaggio’s rejected proposal for Kon

#dc #kon el #i have not enjoyed a current superboy story since i was like twelve but this hurts #like do i think this arc sounds like a repetitive slog through every old interpretation of kon? yes #do i still wish we could’ve had trans femme kon? ye absolutely #i think most of all this is a crushing blow to all of us dc fans with secret delusions of one day becoming dc writers #and getting to make our favorite characters trans #bc regardless of how original some of the identity crisis content is #the textual justification in her proposal is actually v solid #like ye kon DOES make a great trans allegory #and i didn’t expect dc to approve it but it still feels unfair for a publishing company that makes like #stories about empowering physical transformation and stress over secret identities #to reject a proposal to turn that into an explicitly trans story

I don’t know why this is interesting to me but their names mean the exact same thing

#dc #tim drake #this post made me realize exactly how stupid giving tim the middle name jackson is #but also tim was fully just named after tim burton bc those batman movies were coming out at the time so #feels weird to read into what his name choice says about his parents

Question for nerds

Do NOT vote if you are not a comic nerd.

What counts as "indie" vs "big 2" (as waters can be muddied with Vertigo, WildStorm, etc) is up to personal tastes

#5 but i think there needs to be a third axis for indie #bc i’m terms of actual ongoing comics rn #i’m reading like 1.5 dc books zero marvel and like everything from image #but i read a lot of older dc so technically that’s the dominant publisher for me i guess?

[tribibble]

young justice thought they could slip in a 10 second jason n dami cameo and i’d be normal about it. think again

#dc #batfam #jason todd #damian wayne #sobbing over this fr

[tribibble]

this is like the funniest exchange in all of dc history. they let the riddler say fuck and he immediately follows that up with ahoy hoy. there has never been a better written line of dialogue

#batman unburied #t minus 3 days til more unburied riddler content #but also op noah fence but him getting shot #and then saying i’ve been riddled and then nothing else until basically the epilogue #is ACTUALLY the funniest part

I feel like we've been seeing a lot of Jack and Janet in comics lately. What's going on.

wait people actually didn’t know Jason killed people? I thought that was a joke

#dc #jason todd #stop this made me laugh so hard #literally me age 12 #buying 80s comics from the flea market for five cents a pop #instead of blowing my allowance on full priced new comic books #reading jason!robin like wow! he’s literally so me! i bet everybody loved this guy so much when these were new #can’t wait to see what happens to him next!
