While standing in line trying to get some food in the southern Gaza Strip, he yelled at the journalist Fakri Ibrahim, saying: 'Send this picture to Israel and the world.'

I really think we deserve a random panel of damian wayne going to the bathroom with a water bottle in his hand. just for fun

#I want him to experience culture shock #there is no way that middle eastern boy who has NOT left his grandfather's palace ever in his life just moves to the us and fits right in #where is the discomfort? #where is the awkwardness?? #where is him being absolutely disgusted by microwave mac n cheese??? #where is him not knowing certain english words?? #where is him swearing in arabic when he's stressed?? #where is him asking alfred if he can make falafel for brunch???? #if you're gonna tell us he's a mixed kid MAKE HIM ACT LIKE ONE GODDAMMIT #damian wayne #damian al ghul #batman #dc #DC comics #thoughts #headcanons

Ahah what if we were so deeply interwined that it was like we filled the same space. What if no one could tell where you end and I start. What if whatever souls were made of yours and mine were the same. Ahah just kidding… Unless? 👀👀

the most common answer to this question is that Talia is half Arab and half Chinese. (though i've seen some people say she's only 1/4 Chinese too, so i'm assuming it's never really been confirmed.) Bruce is full white so most fans believe that Damian is half Arabic and Chinese from his mother's side and white from his father's.

it's really a bit ambiguous, so people kind of just draw him however they want. and i personally prefer it when he looks like a regular brown boy, since his Arabic heritage is more significant to his story. he grew up around his Arabic relatives and he can actually speak Arabic while his Chinese roots have never really been explored. i also think it draws a nice representation of how he's sort of a fish out of water in gotham, that he's obviously raised in a different environment than the previous Robins. i understand that for some people these may not seem like good enough reasons to depict him only as an Arab, but even if you wanna play the genetics card, the brown skin and the thick hair is biologically more likely to be passed down anyway. so this design in particular makes a lot more sense than just whitewashing him and drawing him like a copy-paste of Tim.

this is the ONLY damian wayne design i accept by the way. brown skin, a crooked nose, dark green eyes and thick eyebrows. keep that white-washed monstrosity away from me

ough... sorry for jumping in when you said you're still reading stuff, i hope this doesn't come off annoying or anything! but that thing the prev anon said about timkon is... a WILD take.

tim wasn't trying to "replace" kon, he was having a grief-induced mental health spiral and was doing anything and everything to get a chance of getting his best friend back. (the "resurrection of ra's al ghul" event goes over this too - tim and dick have a short fight that ends in tim crying in dick's arms because tim was tempted to use a lazarus pit to try and bring back his dad, steph brown, and/or kon.) it's an unhealthy coping mechanism he exhibits during a period of his life where he's experienced several catastrophic losses back to back, and he's coping poorly. moreover he literally apologized to kon for trying to clone him in adventure comics (2009) #3.

also saying that kon is created as a replacement for superman is true, but acting like he never has an established character outside of "replacement for superman" or that other characters treat him as just a replacement superman, is not. in world's finest three (tim and kon's first meeting) we literally see tim initially turn to kon for backup with metallo, a superman villain, and at first he's dismayed that kon doesn't have all of superman's abilities, but over the course of the two issues, he admires kon's use of his ttk and they establish a mutual respect with each other (they both save each other's lives at the end).

and generally, kon & clark have a very positive relationship in postcrisis comics (aka the continuity that the cloning stuff with tim happens in) - if you want to see more of it, i'd rec "adventures of superman" #506 and superboy (1994) #59 and #70. kon definitely has plenty of issues, but his identity and relationship to superman aren't really the ones in question. (although i'll admit there is the caveat that kon's [lack of] superman-related identity issues is kind of soft retconned in teen titans (2003), which is where the lex luthor retcon is introduced - fun fact, luthor has nothing to do with kon initially!)

this got long i'm SO sorry - it just gets my goat when people tell straight up lies about comics to people who are just getting into reading comics 😭😭 i hope i didn't come off aggressive bc thats def not my intention but i'm sorry if i did!! and i hope you enjoy your comic journey and have fun with it overall!!!

do NOT apologize! i really appreciate this!!

i have a couple more people on my inbox yelling things like "how dare you even entertain the thought of them together!!!" i wasnt expecting to see so much passion on this subject when i first talked about it but it seems like DC comics fans have very strong opinions about that pairing hahaa

as i said in my previous reply to that anon, i really need to do my own reading before i form an opinion on the ship but your reflections seem very fair and i really appreciate the comic recommendations! and honestly, the whole reason i was interested in timkon was that their relationship seemed very complicated, and therefore very angsty, which is what i live for. so i do really understand why some people like it and some hate the idea of it. from what i've seen so far.... i like it. but i can't really speak on whether or not it is compatible with the canon dynamic of the characters. does that make sense?

also like on another note. HOW do you guys give such specific references when talking about these things?? 😭 DC universe seems HUGE and i have no clue where to start and then i see people giving like the exact issue number of events and stuff and i'm like.....HOW?? and also like. teach me. guide me. i'm lost 😭 HQJSKFKCJDJ

#anyway thanks for the explaination!! #in all honesty i enjoy how chaotic DC fans are #like why are you so obsessed with hating on a pairing?? but also i admire your dedication so much 😭 #and like. this debate will probably never end and that makes me giddy #lolll #on another note my asks are STILL always open for anyone. drop that essay i'm listening #asks #timkon #discussions #DC comics #dc

whenever i'm trying to talk myself out of buying something i don't need i always hear my old russian professor's voice echoing in my head: "WHAT??? WILL YOU DIE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE GRAVEYARD?" and then i make an unwise financial decision

Tim and Kon is so problematic for Kon's character. Tim tried to clone him over and over when Kon was dead. Which means he treated him replaceable, and Kon was created as a replacement for Superman himself. Instead of getting away from this toxic mindset, Timkon locks Kon in it. For his own mental health (that actually isn't too good) Kon needs to learn, that being Theater as a replacement/replaceable isn't a good thing. How should this work if the story is: that's your one true love forgive him

an interesting point of view! in full disclosure i think many people found my blog from the two or three posts i posted yesterday so even though i've been saying here, i guess it's not obvious enough that i'm very new to this fandom loll i started getting into DC like, last september. and i havent really been crazy about it so i've just been casually engaging with it. me and my little sister watched the og teen titan series and from there on i continued with dcau and then found super sons comics and now i'm just reading whatever i can get my hands on. but i really dont know much about this 🫣 i was trying to talk about a bigger issue i noticed in ship writing with those posts and after a few people pointed it out now i think tim and kon might not have been the best example for the point i was trying to make. that's on me. but it seems like there are many variations of their history together so, i guess i'll have to do my own reading before i agree or disagree with your point. (hope yall dont mind me talking about DC even though i know close to nothing about it. well to be honest i would continue even if you did mind because that's what fandom is for and honestly i'm really happy that i could evoke some fandom discussions here. i really enjoy that kind of thing :DD)

Here's the hill I will die on: Whatever one does or doesn't think of TimKon as a ship or who Tim is dating now or in the future, his feelings for Conner were a fundamental part of who Tim Drake grew to be, they shaped him as a person and as a hero, and his feelings for Conner laid the groundwork of realizing Tim was queer. Tim doesn't get to where he is now without how he loved Kon.

people are way too comfortable being dismissive of children and teenagers. if a toddler comes up to you and starts explaining skibidi toilet lore or if a 13 year old asks you if you want to hear about their mha ocs you have to listen with utmost sincerity or at least pretend to. this is the only way you will get into heaven.

#Last time i went back home my little sister showed me an oc story she'd been writing on a notebook #it was like thirty pages and i got lazy and couldnt finish it before i left again #as i was leaving at the door she was so heartbroken i felt like i murdered a million fairies #i asked her if i could take the notebook with me so i can finish but she said she needed it to write the rest 😭 #cant wait to go back in two months and finish everything she's written and let her talk about it for a good five hours #all i needed at thirteen was someone to care about the things i wrote #i dont need anything else if i can be that for her
