trying to describe poirot to my friend at trivia night: "if youve seen a detective who looks like this, thats him"

Usually it's women who buy from the feather shop, sometimes accompanied by tolerant men schlepping backpacks. But every so often a guy comes in, usually to buy a present, and as someone who's never really experienced guys shopping before, their efficiency in impressive. Guy comes in, I'll take that one, guy goes out.

The other day we had this massive bearded dude, 6'3 linebacker style, walk right in and declare in a gruff baritone "My fairy wings didn't arrive in time. I need some backup wings." We offered a massive pair of feathered green wings; he tried them on (tiny) and said "A little high in the back, but I'll take 'em." On his way out, by way of clarification, he said "I'm Tankerbelle."

I love the goths, I love the middle-aged street-clothes ladies trying something different, I LOVE the little kids, but Tankerbelle will always hold a special place in my heart.

(I spotted him a few weeks later and got the pic; pleased to see he was still rocking our wings rather than what he'd ordered earlier!)

Fan-made concept art for a Batfamily animated show mainly centered on Jason and Damian: characters are oversimplified and episodes would (lightheartedly) parody the comics

Left to right: Jason, Damian, and Duke.

There is a fanfic living in my head that I'll never be able to write (or draw, lately, with the art block), wherein they discover some kind of maguffin that turns back time, not in the sense that it makes you a 10 year old again, but in the sense that it goes back and undoes the bodily consequences of your life between 10 and now. And you get to be in the body of the adult version of yourself that you would have been if those things hadn't happened to you.

And I want them to then use it on lots of people, but specifically I want them to use it on Jason. I want him to be a short adult, with no scars, and a different face shape (because having lots of facial injuries will change how you look). I want him to be unrecognizable compared to before. And I want him to cry about it. And I want him to refuse to undo it, and to decide to stay in his new/old/original body.

Tim: So then the orc was like--

Duke: Uruk'hai.

Tim: Right, whatever, so then he grabbed him by the head and threw him into this other orc--

Duke: Uruk'hai!

Tim: Jesus Christ, Uruk'hai! Anyway--

Also Dick Grayson finger sparkles tattoos, but I don't have a reason for it beyond vibes.

If Jason has a J scar, I would like to petition for him also having face tattoos to cover/camoflauge it.

It just seems like something he'd do. And also face tattoos.

I drew everything on one layer, and decided to make the best of it.

It looks...not terrible.

Yeeeeeeaaaahhhh!!

Bao Pham and Duke Thomas. Have they interacted in canon? No. But all the best ships are that way.

Also, blasting Duke with my queer laser. It is now law.

Bonus:

[infrequentartfromnickie]

Based on this borzoi. This is very dumb.

[infrequentartfromnickie]

I heard we were drawing bad comics.

Duke reuniting with his mom after a treatment is finally found. He is so much taller than she remembers.

Based partly on this post that reminded me of his childhood nickname, Baby Bird.

Now that tumblr is trying out communities, what would everyone's interest be in a Duke Thomas community?

I figure in a community you won't get the filler posts where Duke is tagged but not actually involved in the fic/art, or where he's there as like audience reaction stand in. You'd be able to see/share Duke stuff that's actually properly about him.

Is there one already? Should we make one?

Okay, I know this ain't art, but I want artistic credit for it anyway because it was surprisingly difficult. My eldest is turning nine and he wanted a Minecraft cake. Yes, I fully sanitized the little guys from his toy box. They got multiple baths in hot soapy water and with the scrub brush. Look, the lil guy on fire left burn marks on the ground!

It’s ironic how Duke “better at hiding his shenanigans” is a trope when his narrative focuses the most on his daytime image and actions being broadcasted to social media for all to judge. Anything Duke does is probably monitored and recorded down. If anyone knows about public images being tarnished, it’s being branded as “irresponsible children apart of a gang” Duke. Plus he’s like a lighthouse beacon how sneaky can he be

[infrequentartfromnickie]

Why yes, Tumblr, I do think I'd like this content.

It's almost like....
