It's not that I hate fanon or that I think fanon is inherently less intelligent or morally wrong, but a LOT of fanon is based in racism, misogyny, and classism that I feel like a lot of you accept without question.

WHY is Duke (Daredevil, son of a god, has never once allowed himself to be defined by anyone's actions but his own) relegated to a background role, only characterized by reacting to the whims of other bats?

Why is Babs - Birds of Prey leader and backbone of the hero society, tells Bruce to fuck off and die 4 times a day and is constantly ruining her relationships by being biased and unhinged - Gotham bound, the mature responsible mom of the group who never argues with Bruce and never gets in trouble?

Why is Dick, both a tactical genius and master manipulator, a himbo only appreciated for his sex appeal? Especially when he is both Romani (group of people demonized and condemned as hypersexual by their nature alone) and an SA victim.

WHY is Damian "feral" and "uncivilized" despite being raised as a literal prince? Half of you treat him like a sociopath with no hope of redemption for an unfunny three second joke and the other half of you go full throttle into Bruce's white savior bullshit so that Damian can be "redeemed". Y'know when you're not villainizing Talia and acting like Dick is his other parent, actually.

WHY is Stephanie - extremely intelligent detective who can't stand Bruce and has a living mother she loves - lumped in as another member of the Batfam, a blonde ditz who only cares about prank wars and emotionally supporting Tim?

WHY is Cass - intelligent, a grown adult, suicidal perfectionist - emotionally intelligent, primarily existing to support the characters around her, immediately accepting of everyone she meets regardless of her own morals?

Why is Bruce the golden standard? Enough so that though everyone in the fandom could agree that he's an emotionally unstable wreck, being considered "the most like him" is seen as a compliment and not the HIGHEST insult? Everyone would agree if I said that Bruce purposely self sabotages his relationship half the time and the other half he simply does things without caring about the emotional impact it will have on people because he has to be the smartest in the room, but if I said that makes him a shit partner and emotionally abusive parent the fandom would bend over backwards to argue with me.

Why is Tim "the best Robin" when Dick Grayson invented the mantle, it is impossible for someone to embody the spirit of Robin better than him because he made it and he created what being Robin means. Maybe Tim is the best in Bruce's eyes, but what Robin means and who has the right to give it over was a significant thing they argued about. Tim the high school drop out, and yet also somehow the smartest? Tim "the most like Bruce" except no he's not, that's Cass. Poor neglected, abused, victimized little Timmy (the rich boy at the elite boarding school with loving albeit busy parents and almost every instance of him being victimized by another character has either been racist bullshit - The Al Ghuls and Rose Wilson- or a complete 180 for the character that made no sense when examined through the lens of prior characterization - Jason for instance.)

Almost every fanon trope that gets passed around like gospel seems to deliberately push POC characters and women into the background and strip them of interesting complex traits and stories, usually for the purpose of fitting them all into bite sized incorrect quote character types and uncomplicated narrative roles that are not only completely divergent from canon, but primarily exist to prop up the two rich white boys.

Also the insistence that Bruce, a 20 year old at the time, should actually be excused for how much he mentally and emotionally fucked Dick up because really they're more like siblings! While deciding that Dick at the same age was actually the perfect candidate to be Damian's new parent/guardian...have you lost the fucking plot you don't even make sense to yourselves.

Okay I lied at the beginning, I do hate fanon. You guys are so uncritical about the media you consume it is BEYOND just letting people enjoy things and have fun. I guess it's one thing if you KNOW this stuff isn't canon and UNDERSTAND why these tropes are problematic and you engage with it as such, it's fine read and write what you want, but just spreading the same nonsense around and parading it around as "better than canon" (version of the character so bland and boring you've somehow made the old white men at DC look like geniuses in the art of representation) is just infuriating.

but jason having a soft spot for damian makes sense! dick is damian’s batman once before but damian was a responsibility not like a brother, when jason spent time in the LOA with talia and can connect to damian as brothers. they fight in the comics because writers ignore that. the dick favouritism makes you hate the relationship when there is something there! its not all bad!

You're acting like Jason and Damian meeting in the LOA is canon, when it is, in fact, not at all. Read the comic. It doesn't happen. That scenario only exists in fanfiction. You know what is canon though? Jason shooting Damian in the chest.

Going.On.Crisis Goretober, Day 1: Rot!!

Im already but hey this is for fun!! This was lazy and quickly slopped together and not really creepy but I love courtney so much I just wanted to do something fun. Yay zombie courtney!!

Heyyyoooo, if y’all follow me on twitter this isn’t a suprise, but here it is. It’s an animation that’s inspired by the panels of Damian and Goliathin robin:son of Batman, as well as the scene in httyd when hiccup cuts toothless free rather than kill him. I want to say that I’m a total amateur in animation, I’m not great at it and I don’t do it often and when I do it’s silly stuff like this which is almost entirely done from imagination. So is it amazingly done? No, but I did make it lmao, have a good one

Normal people:

Jason coming back from the dead angry and out for revenge using a crowbar as his weapon of choice only to bash in someone’s skull with one well-placed, Lazarus Pit-fueled swing and suddenly getting hit with a flashback of gargling his own bloody teeth and fucking losing it on the cobblestone of a random alley somewhere in the Narrows send tweet

Meet my DC OC, Impact!!! Some of this art is a little old, but it gets the point across.

Real Name: Tiffany ‘Tiff’ Moore

Main Alias: Impact

Citizenship: American

Occupation: Mechanic

Gender: Female (She/Her)

Impact is an intergalactic hero who works independently. After finding alien materials while scavenging for spare parts in a scrapyard, she was inspired to become a hero by all the stories she reads online! She takes to the stars, enjoying exploring worlds she only thought to be fantasy.

She’s a bit naive and overly confident (and also a bit lazy) but believes in doing the right thing, her strong points being her handiness and quick-thinking. She’s a bit of a rando (although the stray JL and JSA members she’s interacted with find her a bit annoying) but works just fine on her own.

I’m excited to develop her considering she’s been mainly a ‘drawing only’ OC for the two months she’s existed, so yay! She’s actually getting development! Hoping to draw her more once the art block leaves my body.

Drew @vexfulfolly ‘s low power Billy AU!! I’m going through a really bad art block rn so I’m not too happy with this but I simply cannot contain my joy for the design it’s so cute

[jumpuffed]

I TOLD YOU TO WATCH OUT 👹👹 @vexfulfolly AMAZING AU BY VEXFULFU HERE (may only be a community post tho)

i love the character design of billy in this au so i just had to draw it… loved it so much that i attempted to draw it in a different art style to try and match the au. i wanted it to be like those renaissance paintings/greek god paintings but it didnt turn out much like that 😞😞 am still proud of it tho!! 😜

[jumpuffed]

hihihi, back with a big one! this was heavily inspired by these two fics here: Injustice by AzuraJae & Darkest Secrets by WingsOfTheDamned! lots of little details in the video that i hope you’ll notice, and this is mostly focused on Mary’s reaction of Billy’s death. this is the finished product of the recent wip i posted yesterday. i’ll reblog with an explanation of the video if you guys would like to hear more. this is placed in the Injustice elseworlds!! lmk what you think 🫶🫶 (the flowers in the first scene are forget-me-nots and sunflowers, with one black dahlia in the center! do what you will with that information 😉)

[jumpuffed]

so, i was being indecisive again and couldn’t pick between the pixel ver and the og ver to post so you guys get both! billy on an elevator, dont know where hes going but hes a bit nervous (whole thing is up to interpretation) just watched a gameplay of elevator hitch and wanted to draw billy again so boom! there you have it 🫶
