First Time Meeting Damian

"#this is a real thing btw red food dye causes hyperactivity and mania in children who are sensitive to it#one of the origins of the ''sugar causes hyperactivity '' myth#sugar doesn't cause hyperactivity#but CANDY can definitely cause hyperactivity if it has trigger dyes in it'

since i last looked into this, the science has moved on from "most children will react badly to food dyes (not just red 40) but it most significantly messes up adhd and autistic kids" to "we're looking into the possibility that exposure to food dyes is actually causing learning disabilities in the first place"

like i said in the tags this is another example of why, when a big trendy debunk is going around that seems to go against direct observational evidence, it's worth looking into, because "sugar doesnt cause hyperactivity" was the drum to bang about ten years ago when it is plain to anyone affected by these dyes or who supervises children that are affected by them that yes, a lot of children (and adults) DO go apeshit if they drink enough hawaiian punch or eat enough swedish fish or pink cupcake icing and there is plenty of replicated in vitro human research showing as much. it's not the sugar, but candy and processed food and entertainment drinks containing these dyes can cause illness and altered behavior just like people have been observing after kids tear through a pound of assorted halloween candy. i personally had an incident on an airplane with a dose of liquid Benadryl that kept me awake for about two days when i was 4, and a a teenager noticed that drinking red gatorade would cause a weird euphoria.

anyway this is usseful info for adhd/autistic adults, people who supervise kids of any age or brain type, and in general if youre interested and able to make food choices for yourself (not everyone can obviously)

The Internet seemed to really like the previews I posted of NYC bullying Spider-Man, so here is that episode in its entirety. Enjoy!

finally, someone who gets it

“and the universe said…”

Dick : I’m so damn smart

Jason : No. You can’t be the smart one. Tim is The Smart One

Dick : …

Dick : Well….’if you can’t be the sharpest tool in the shed you can always be the hoe’

Jason : that’s one hell of a mother fuckin’ silver lining if I’ve ever heard one

that moment when you realize that one of your best friends is trying to adopt every orphan in gotham

Death is a social construct.

Batman Timeline

Here’s a (mostly) cohesive timeline for dc’s Batman if time actually meant anything in comics. Brought to you by me reading way too much fanfiction and my need to know about how old Bruce is.

Parents die when he’s 12

Starts to travel when he’s 18

Becomes Batman at 23

Dick becomes ward and robin at 12 and Bruce is 24

Barbara becomes Batgirl at 17 when Dick is 13 and Bruce 25

Dick goes independent at 16 when Bruce is 28 and Barbara 20

Bruce takes 11 year old Jason in 6 months later

Barbara is paralyzed at 23 and Bruce is 31 making Jason 14

Jason dies at 14 less than a month later

Tim becomes Robin at 10 and when Bruce is 32

17 year old Cassandra becomes Batgirl when Bruce is 34 and Tim 12

Jason comes back when he’s 17 and Bruce is 34 with Tim 12 and Dick 22

Stephanie arrives at 14 to team up with Tim who is the same age when Bruce is 36

Damian shows up when he’s 10, Bruce at 37 goes missing, Dick Becomes Batman at 25 pushing 15 year old Tim to Red Robin while Stephanie becomes Batgirl and Cassandra 20 becomes Black Bat

Duke becomes Signal at 15 when Bruce is 39 and Damian 12

Currently Bruce is 40, Tim is 18, Cassandra is 23, Damian is 13, Jason is 23, Barbra is 32, Stephanie is 18, Dick is 28, and Duke is 16

So I really only put the people that I consider the batfamily? Not all of them consider Bruce a dad but that doesn’t mean they aren’t family. I think they’re all his kids tho?? In the sense that they’re kids that aren’t his sons or daughter but he loves and is responsible for... if that even makes any sense.

In terms of his sons and daughter I think they would b Cass and the male robins. Maybe Duke but he has parents, right??? It could just b that he’s new, tho. Everyone else is family and isn’t any lesser they just never saw Bruce as a dad.

I gave Tim a lot more time as robin bc he just did a LOT as robin so he went from the boy with the least time as robin to the one with the longest. This also means that he’s have to figure out that Dick is Robin at 6 and met him as a flying Grayson at 2, but Tim’s known for being a little obsessive and this was a traumatic event at a young age so I’m just rolling with it. He doesn’t start sneaking out for photography til 8 in this tho.

If anyone spots something wrong I’ll either correct it or tell u why it’s wrong so pls do point it out bc I like talking

Some Robin shenanigans

Now the judge will choose a winner in the dog contest

Damian: *thinking* Cant decide, they're all cute and they're mine now

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Bruce: Shall have left you in that corner where i found you

Jay: BUT YA DIDNT

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Tim: Jay's emotions are like fine wine

Dick: why's that?

Tim: they stay bottled for years and can kill if opened incorrectly.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Jay: sO YOU HANGIN OUT WITH KON

Tim: Ja-JASON IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK

Jay: I WONT HESITATE BITCH.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Jay after getting back his memories after the lazarus pit: well when lifes gives you lemons

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Tim throwing Damian off the rooftop: tHIS BITCH EMPTY, YEET.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Damian: Why stop at capitalism? Destroy everything.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Robin!Dick: look at my... swings leg to show shorts not pants

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Tim: Thanks for helping me out on this case, Jason.

Jay: Cual gracias, encuerate

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Jay: I DID IT TO CLEAN GOTHAM

Tim: cool motive, still murder.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Bruce, looking for Damian: Have you seen my son? He's about this tall, clearly gay but we haven't had "the talk"

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Jason: big spooky fan me

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

#onlyingotham you dont know if someone is talking about the restaurant or the vigilante.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Tim: wHEN WILL YOU LEARN. WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THAT YOU ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES?!

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Damian: I’ve only had Titus for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Damian: I've only said I love you to three people. My mom, my dad and my dying grandpa. And one of those I regret.

Jon: Which one?

Damian: Grandpa. He got brought back to life and so i now look like an idiot.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Dick: The English language can not fully capture the depth and complexity of my thoughts. So I'm incorporating Emoji into my speech to better express myself. Winky face.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Tim: That stuff with us is in the past. We talked about that.

Jason: I know, but that was before you saw me in this dope ass tux. I mean you must be freaking out.

Tim: Oh, I really am. I'm really into rented clothes. I love how many butts have been in them.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Tim: Actually, B, I think we were kind of hoping we could work the case together.

Bruce: Oh, are you two no longer-

Jay: Smooshing booties?

Bruce: Yes, that's exactly how I was gonna finish my sentence.

Jay: Figured.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Dick: And our second option is surveillance footage of Tim soliciting drugs using perfect grammar.

Tim: It's not that weird to say, "may I have some cocaine?"

Dick: It is.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Jason: So how'd you convince the whole squad to betray me? What'd you offer them?

Tim:  I asked them if they wanted to embarrass you, and they instantly said yes.

Jason: I'm not gonna lie, that turns me on a little bit.

Happy birthday Percy Jackson the only valid YA protag just coz right after he fought Medusa and killed her at age 12 his FIRST order of business was to mail her head to mount olympus just to piss off zeus, known for blasting people and cursing them for pissing him off

Did you know that you can make fake 3D pixel art in Blender by just like turning anti-aliasing off?? And pixelizing post-effects? Sounds super simple but it took me forever to figure it out.

trying to get your story together like:

Explaining your story to a willing ear:

“I really like your story! is there more?”

“I like this character, is there more about them?”

When they ask “What happens next?” and you haven’t figured it out yet.

When you have figured things out but you haven’t written/drawn anything yet, and trying to figure out how to:

The last one. Some serious ideas floating around aaaaannnnddd nothing much to see for it.

You never see classical inspired sculptures with POC.. So this is really something to me. Absolutely beautiful.

preddy

it’s all “accidental hand touch” this and “brief longing gaze” that, where’s my support at for “reaching up and fixing someone’s collar for them” crew??

the intimacy disguised as helpfulness! the lingering contact! the optional subdued “you look nice” as they stand too close!!

expand your pining vocabulary people

Jason: Whenever I’m feeling down, I think about how Batman in all his 6 foot, Batly, manly glory put “Bat” in front of everything he owned and that really keeps me goin’.

Dick: Oh no that was actually me.

Dick: He didnt- he didn’t name anything it was just “Cave” and “Computer” and I was like let’s spice things up a little y'know?

Jason:

Jason: You just exist to ruin my happiness don’t you?
