The DickDami anon here; First, It is 100% your blog and yours to do what you wish. I'm also not saying police anyone's ships. I know a lot are unfairly hated but as of Robin (Volume 3) #1, Damian is 14 years old. That was last year. Even if you ignore the concept of Dick helping raise Damian, and that he is essentially a father figure to Damian, he is a child, and that is 100% pedophilla. That is illegal. That isn't a kink. Pedophillia isn't a kink.

But you are saying that, though. You are literally saying 'police this particular ship I don't like' and trying to couch it behind shock-value big-nasty-words. Gotta say, a very odd take from someone presumably either following us or participating in this week? We don't do that here. (Don't throw stones in glass houses, and all that.)

Damian is a fictional character. He cannot be a minor and he cannot be 'illegal' in any sense you're talking about, because he is not real. Fictional characters don't age in real time. They don't age at all, in fact, because their age is a figment of the imagination just like everything else about them. Damian also cannot have 'essentially a father figure'. He cannot be a 'child.' He cannot be 'raised' by anyone. Every single part of him is an invention from someone's brain.

That is literally all he is, is words and images on a page.

Fictional characters are not real people. No harm can be done to them, they cannot have trauma inflicted upon them, and they have no sentience, voice to consent, or anything else.

(If such depictions were in any way illegal, there wouldn't be book series that included it. George R.R. Martin, as an easy example, would already be in jail for Daenerys - 13 when sold, in the first book. 15/16, even in the show, and that's with a live actor! I can think of a handful of others off the top of my head, too.)

Words have real meanings. That one you're throwing around up there for shock value? It means real, damaging, things to real people. It doesn't mean 'teenage fictional character in a sexual situation'. It doesn't mean 'fictional portrayal of an unhealthy relationship dynamic' either. It doesn't even mean 'fictional representation of an illegal act'. It doesn't even mean all three of them at once.

It 100% doesn't mean anything you're trying to claim it does.

Now.

I will say it again.

We believe in 'Ship and Let Ship'. We also believe in KINKTOMATO (Your Kink is Not My Kink, and That's Okay). We believe that creating fiction of dark things is a natural human behavior, no matter what form that takes. We believe that each person is responsible for their own consumption of content, and must learn to moderate that consumption to be healthy for their individual needs.

We do not judge other people's kinks. We do not judge what they like to read about in fiction. We do not judge what they like to get off to in porn, written or otherwise. We do not judge what people create.

If these facts upset you, that's something you need to come to terms with on your own. If you need to unfollow us, or 'boycott' the week, or something else for your own health, you are more than welcome to.

This is the last we'll be responding to you, at least for now. We're here to have a good time with ships we enjoy, and while I personally do find great enjoyment in writing up answers to things like this, most of our followers aren't here for that.

If you want to come off anon and have a conversation in private, we'll be here. I honestly never get tired of this.

(No children were harmed in the making of this content. Obviously.)

Would it be ok to ask what rare characters participants are planning on writing about?

Absolutely okay to ask—however, that’s not something we know!

Participants aren’t assigned characters, nor do folks have to sign up for this; all people have to do is show up during the event with a work that fits a prompt about whatever rare character they like! It’s completely up to whoever decides to participate, what characters they plan on creating for.

If you know anyone who’s participating, you’re welcome to ask them! And we hope you stick around to see all the great rare characters content we hope to receive in May :)

under the red hood

Jason: Bruce, I’ve forgiven you for not saving me, but why haven’t you killed the Joker?

Bruce: oh god is that what this is about

Bruce: Jason, there’s nothing I’d like more in the world than to kill the Joker, but unfortunately, I can’t

Jason: what, because of your principles?

Bruce: no, because whoever kills the Joker becomes the Joker

Jason: ……excuse me

Joker, tied to a chair: it’s true!! I got to be this way by killing the last guy :D

Jason: you what

Joker: oh hey I know how to explain it!!

Joker: you ever see that movie The Santa Clause? it’s just like that :D

Jason:

Jason, frightened: what
