dick wrapping his arms around duke and leading him away to discuss suit ideas: i’m glad someone appreciates my artistic eye

jason: imma kms, there’s two now

Dick: the only thing I regret about that shut is how high the neckline is.

Jason: …high? What do you mean high???

Dick: I said what I said

Jason: I could see 80% of your chest

bruce: i want you to take one good look on how damian came to be

clark: … oh my rao… i am dead beat aren’t i?

I love the Titans HQ from the 1999 Titans run. It is an underground compound but above it is a 3D hologram of a T-shaped tower. This is hilarious because the reasoning is that the T gets destroyed way too often, which is true.

They also have this flat platform that goes from shore to the island:

Titans (1999) #3

They are always having dramatic convos on top of it and Garth is always popping out of the water. It's also one of the more domestic titans hangouts. Throughout the series they have a whole lot of children running around including Lian who is the cutest.

The damage constantly being tested by Batman must've fucked Tim up. How often does small gestures, such as Bruce adding an extra spoonful of sugar, cause Tim to spend a significant amount of time analyzing for clues?

It would be exhausting to constantly monitor Batman and his demeanor

with summer fast approaching, a quick reminder to not point out anyone's self-harm scars, burns, stomach rolls, stretch marks, cellulite, eczema, psoriasis, etc. and a reminder that if you have any of these, you're allowed to wear revealing clothing and swimsuits. you deserve to enjoy summer too.

yes, it's just as nightmarish as you would imagine an evil empire being

This should not scare you away from unionizing; this should scare you towards unionizing. 

I’m a nurse. They have trackers that we have to wear at work at all times. They have a safety alarm in them and that was the reason I was told they made us wear them so they could help us if needed easily.

They are now measuring AND punishing us for not being in each room for so long. This doesn’t take into account of patients talking to us at the nurses station. It doesn’t count the time we spend charting or calling providers or talking to family members or taking patients to scans. So if I’m pushing my patient around the hall in a wheelchair, it doesn’t count as time with patients. It DOES counts how much time we spend at the nurses station and they don’t like when we spend ‘too much’ time there. They claim it’s because we should be in the patients room more (even tho some literally want to be left alone and rest.) it also sounds like the old ‘if you have time to lean, you have time to clean.’

I can’t help but feel it isn’t a coincidence with all the companies tracking their employees to prevent unionization. Hospitals are TERRIFIED of unions and even ‘warned’ us of the risks of joining one. This is common at many hospitals.

Thinking about my previous thoughts about Dick adopting Tim and decided to take a giant leap further-

What if Dick somehow ended up adopting all of his siblings before Bruce could (so they were never technically his siblings)? Like Tim comes and finds him and tells him to become Robin again and instead of being like 'lol no' he sees a tiny child and is like 'fuck i need to protect him' and then it just goes downhill from there.

Tiny assassin child? New daughter.

Girl fighting back against her father's evil plans? Another daughter.

Another assassin child? Son.

He and Barbara fight over custody sometimes but they are officially his. And Bruce is tired because he suddenly has a lot of grandchildren.

And then Jason comes back and is like 'thank god I avoided all this' and Dick's like 'NOPE you're mine now Bruce lost his chance'

I especially wanna focus on his relationship with Cass and Stephanie because I feel like these are the more underrated relationships in the fandom.

Like he would be so good to them, especially given their previous father figures. We find out in Batgirl #58 that Dick read Cinderella and acted out the parts for Cass:

He would provide Cass with normality in a way that Bruce never really could. He would sign her up for dance classes and all of his kids would gather round in his little apartment (or maybe a little house he gets once the number of kids passes two) and they would have movie nights or he would read them stories, letting each one choose a voice to read for.

And Steph! I truly believe he would see himself in her (though circumstances may be different) and give her the mentorship that Bruce couldn't give Stephanie when she was Robin.

The difference between Bruce and Dick being the father figure for the rest of the batkids is that yes, Dick has a legacy, but living up to it is not quite the same as living up to Batman's legacy. The same pressure isn't there because Dick knows what it's like to be in Batman's shadow, and he never wants his kids to feel that way. He encourages them to do their best, and praises where he can.

Sure, they achieve great things as Bruce's kids, but as Dick's?

They flourish.

I think Alfred would fund dick’s parenting adventures because a cop or gymnastics teacher or whatever job he gets cannot support 4,5 kids.

still amazes me that Jason Todd took over the criminal underworld of the most dangerous city in America as a teenager right under the nose of the planet’s greatest detective and some people still run with “Jason is the dumbest Robin”

Every time I advocate for voting people are like "no you shouldn't vote! Read this literature, it'll totally change the way you view voting!" And every single time it's the same fucking "you shouldn't vote because both parties are exactly the same so it won't make a difference who wins" bullshit wrapped up in some fancy language

"OP you need to read 'Voting is not Harm Reduction" OP has read Voting is not Harm Reduction. It opens with the acknowledgement that for the most vulnerable people, even a tiny degree of harm reduction can mean life or death and then continues to advocate for not participating in that harm reduction lest you "participate in your own oppression". Pardon me for not finding "vulnerable people should die for my ideology" very convincing.
