Sorry if you've done this already but can we see a Damian chart?

The Feelings About Damian Wayne Alignment Chart

Stephanie, Duke, Jason, Tim, Cass, and Dick versions. This is just my opinion, sort of based in canon but also on my interpretations of the characters! Open to change <3. Fun fact: Babs is actually the one who calls Damian 'little D' (in Battle for The Cowl)!

MYSTERY MAN

starring itoshi rin!

synopsis: you decide to go watch rin's football practice for the first time, much to his delight. his teammates struggle to figure out who you are and what you've done to their usually very grumpy rin.

requested by @checkoutmyflow! i hope i did your rq justice ^^

notes: first time completing a request! sorry for the wait >.< ALSO this is gn!reader :)

admittedly, you weren't much of a football fan, even though your boyfriend was a professional college player. you didn't really understand the sport, as you hadn't played it since second grade gym class, but for some reason, you had decided that today, on this sunny tuesday afternoon, you were going to drop by rin's practice alongside a football-for-dummies book to watch and hopefully learn a little about the sport he was so enamored with.

it would appear that they were in the middle of a practice match, as his teammates and him were wearing different colored pennies, and there was someone keeping score on a whiteboard.

you sat down on the bleachers quietly, not wanting to distract anyone from the game. your eyes scanned the field quickly, almost instantly finding rin's unique dark green hair. you tried your best to keep up with what was happening, quickly flipping through your book whenever someone did something cool to try and find it, but it proved to be quite difficult, and you found yourself very confused at the sport's intricacies.

despite your lack of understanding, the one thing you could observe and comprehend was how alive rin looked whilst playing. he was sweating, shit-talking, and scrambling around the field non-stop, clearly very tired, but his eyes had a certain glimmer to them that you didn't get to see often, and he moved around the field with immaculate grace and precision. you watched as he skillfully maneuvered around the field and how he seemed to be able to calculate exactly where his opponent would go. you didn't have to understand the sport to know that this field was a place where itoshi rin shined like no other.

rin took hold of the ball and began dashing across the field with it, his shiny hair blowing behind him. his eyes began darting around the field, his brain taking in and calculating every factor necessary to victory.

his brain certainly didn't expect to see you, his lovely s/o who knows nothing about football, sitting on the bleachers.

your eyes made contact for a brief moment before rin tripped over his own feet and flew forward, making literally everybody on the field stop what they were doing.

a brief moment of silence washed over the field before laughter soon took its place, his teammates jogging over to him asking if he was ok, and what the hell just happened as they howled in mirth.

he grumbled some excuse with red cheeks as he looked away, clearly very mortified. his coach decided to call a break, seeing as everyone had already stopped playing, and he grabbed his water before practically sprinting over to you.

"y/n," he breathed as he came to a stop in front of you, puffing a little from fatigue. "you're here."

you giggled. "hi, rin. i thought i should come watch one of your practices. i want to get to know all the aspects of your life, after all."

he leaned in closer to you to brush his hand against yours as you two chatted a bit. anyone could see the way his eyes softened as you spoke and how his shoulders relaxed at your every move. anyone even being his pretty-damn-stupid team.

in the distance, bachira, isagi, chigiri, nagi, and reo murmured amongst themselves, wondering about who you were - the mystery person mr. im-better-than-you-and-grumpy-all-the-time rin looked so happy to see.

"his sibling, maybe?"

"nah, i'm pretty sure sae is his only sibling."

"oh! what about his parent, then?"

"dude, do you have eyes? way too hot to be a parent."

"his lover, maybe?"

there were a solid 5 seconds of silence before they burst out into laughter once more.

"get out. itoshi rin, an s/o? no way in hell, dude."

"i doubt he could even keep anyone for more than a month. they'd get tired of his attitude real quick and leave just as fast."

"rin-chan probably isn't capable of loving anyone, after all."

despite their adamant denial of your relationship with rin, they could all notice rin's demeanor. he looked happier, more at ease, gentler, kinder, and overall, he looked like a normal person. who were you, and what had you done to their rin?

coach blew his whistle, and they watched as you gestured for him to get back with his team. they then watched with their jaws on the floor as he, itoshi rin, POUTED and SWEETLY PLANTED A KISS on your forehead before jogging off.

they all exchanged looks of pure shock as rin jogged back to them.

they all gave him a shocked look as he raised a brow.

"...what?"

When thinking of Apollo's injuries, I always try to compare him to Juniper. Juniper and Apollo were both still in the courtroom when the blast occurred, but Juniper left relatively unscathed. Seeing as Apollo protected her from falling debris, that implies that most if not all of Apollo's injuries came from the immediate aftermath of the explosion. NOT that explosion itself.

HOWEVER, it is also important to compare outfits. Juniper is almost completely covered, with only the tips of her fingers and the short area between the end of her gloves and the start of her sleeves left uncovered. On top of that, she's wearing gardening clothes, which appear to be made from heavier materials designed to hold up to the wear and tear of working in the dirt. Meaning they're likely better at protecting her body from injury. This is likely why she was not really injured during the blast and didn't get hurt by the heat. It likely wouldn't have made much of a difference if she had gotten crushed by a giant slab of falling ceiling, but Apollo took that blow for her so she got out unscathed.

In contrast, Apollo's sleeves are rolled up to just below the elbow, leaving the rest of his arms exposed. On top of that, he's wearing a white button-up shirt, which tends to be made from light material and is not designed to hold up to damage. This likely resulted in him getting hurt during the initial blast. Depending on how high quality is vest and dress slacks are, they may or may not have helped protect at least a little. But, overall, his outfit puts him at a disadvantage.

I think the problem I encounter from this thought experiment of sorts is that I would assume that falling debris would give him more so blunt force injuries + contusions as compared to more, like... skin + flesh wounds. Which, I don't doubt he was hit by some rubble (as the game explicitly states that he was), but it would've left him with at best bad bruising and at worst fractures/broken bones. I've even thought about the prospect of him getting pinned under rubble and losing a leg as an alternate situation.

I do agree though that Apollo's outfit did affect how well he was protected, as I usually portray him with an increased amount of injuries on his lower arm + the back of his neck as compared to anywhere else. Take the convenient if not a bit eyestrain-y recent drawing I did, you can see that thought in mind.

(also note the lack of injuries where his bracelet is supposed to be)

I can, through further thought, see more burns happening on the back of his legs since his pants are only a single layer (presumably). The vest plus the button-up probably protects most of his torso, at least from the hot air, though only that (after all I do give him the shrapnel injury right on his side). The button-up alone (as in his upper arms) likely doesn't do a great job protecting, as you say, but it's better than bare skin.

I think my adherence to most of his injuries being burns comes from the fact that his arms are entirely wrapped, rather than having haphazardly placed bandages. It implies that it's a continuous injury that didn't cripple him enough to fully prevent movement. There does need to be at least one flesh wound, as one opens back up during the beginning of 5-1, but that's it.

Additionally, they should also have hearing damage, but as someone with little knowledge on the subject I don't focus on that too much, aside from them both being unable to hear anything immediately following the explosion.

How testing a bottle of ink started: full intentions of drawing Submas How testing a bottle of ink is going: Kirby gijinkas

Complete with slightly messed-up shading because I was trying to dilute the ink with water and it. did not go the best.

But I still like these bois. :>

I have been encouraged to complete the borb set, so hopefully I'll be doing Meta Knight and Morpho Knight sometime later.

Oh, and Dark Meta Knight. Kind of forgot about him for a moment, there.

Anyway, I hope you all have a nice day. :>

What’s really frustrating is seeing people say “Tommy should’ve known”/“How did Tommy NOT know about his behavior” and it’s just not something you say? Ever? It’s like asking Shelby how she didn’t see the warning signs. When you’re deep in it— when you’re THAT close to someone— you’re going to not see the red flags that someone on the outside might be able to see. Tommy’s an immature guy and he fucked over Dream, yes. However he’s probably reeling over the realization his “big brother” abused someone.

god, for sure. ive also seen people talk about how "if you saw him manipulating you and your friends why didn't you SAY ANYTHING!!!" and it's just ... i'm sorry uh. do you guys not. understand. like there's a power dynamic? there's a power dynamic here people. that's ,,, part of how manipulation in this manner works. like, i know people are saying this because they don't like the person in question, and while i'm not exactly their biggest fan either, being a shitty person doesn't prevent you from being a victim, and vice versa. like, just because you might not like this person or think that they're a shitty person bc of various reasons doesn't make victim blaming suddenly okay, you know.

farewell, my idiot son…

C5 Kaveh without getting Navia 😮‍💨😮‍💨 thank god. I think I’m gonna have to stop there. used up my intertwineds this month on stardust for that too phew

[echodoesstuff62333]

awkward question,

Hey, mutuals, especially the ones who I used to talk a lot to, can we be friends?

[sweetest-honeybee]

Happened on Instagram so it’s non of you here atm (has happened here but this interaction happened like 10 minutes ago) but just a reminder to like. Not just randomly ask to be friends or assume we’re friends. We don’t know each other, I’m not comfortable just having whole conversations with people I don’t mutually interact with in the first place

I think after mikes reasonably recovered from his car wreck, he experiences a devastating heart break similar to that of a had divorce or break up but instead it's about his car and the fact that it was unsalvageable and got heaped. they eventually get a new car but mikes so broken up he cant even look at it.he feels like its cheating. also he's a little bit traumatized and has to get used to driving again without being scared
