Tried some softer coloring with this sketch.

I feel like i’ve said this before but koncass would be fire if the transfem-kon pitch wasn’t rejeted and we could see both of them explore their gender + sexuality as a sapphic relationship

I recognize it's by no means the most important part of her character but regardless it is very nice to be able to point out to all the masculinity worshiping right wing edgelord Batman fanboys that canonically Batman has a disabled Asian daughter who's ten times better at fighting than him.

People say the Batfamily is too big and then decide to cut out most of the women and/or minorities. Hm.

The brief mention of Stephanie in batgirl issue 2 sent me all the way back to batgirl 62… THE GUT WRENCHING ANGUISH IF IT ALL

if you think barbara isn't the most objectively powerful and dangerous member of the batfamily you are lying to yourself. who the hell are you ranking ahead of the woman who caused major chaos when she faked her death because the entire international superhero community relied on her too much for everything and that was annoying her by taking time that she wanted to devote to her immense underground technological network connected to every single nuclear bomb on and orbiting the planet

Ah yeas! How best friends hold eachother in (near) death hallucinations!

They’re such good heterosexual best friends!

My one actually major criticism of Batgirl 2024 this far (rather than small subjective things) is that it immediately puts Cass and Shiva against people who are an actual threat to them which underscores the danger for those who know that characters but doesn’t establish just how dangerous the two of them are in pretty much any other circumstances which means new readers won’t really get the significance.

I loved Batgirl #2 but god damn does Cass saying “Babs” feel unnatural. Honestly her calling Batman “Bruce” does a bit as well but not quite to the same extent. Like it was always “Oracle” or very rarely “Barbara”

I love writing about female characters I love making them silly and flawed and hypercompetent and moral at the same time and watching fandom's brains explode because they're not one dimensionally chill and supportive or mustache twirling evil and are allowed be jerks and overreact and make mistakes and still be good people worth rooting for or not even good just Interesting. This is very fun to do in male centered fandoms because sometimes they get so confused and scared like no she's supposed to be Nice to my fave guys why isn't she validating them and being supportive? Why are you letting her exist like that? She's being mean to my blorbo she needs to either be written as evil or erased from the narrative.

And every time I see that I get more determined to either make her meaner and have everyone support her or erase your blorbo from the narrative. She doesn't think about him at all actually he's irrelevant to the story now. Yeah sorry to break it to you she made him cry and everyone told her good job so he left the country. Also she's got a girlfriend and they're going to fuck in his house which is theirs now that he no longer exists.
