The Batwinged Stardancer is an elusive nocturnal wyvern whose body mimics the night skies. Speckled in bioluminescence, when taken flight it becomes nearly invisible mimicking the blinking of stars.  

I bounce between all the great Smaugust lists out there. The Batwinged Stardancer was a really intriguing concept so I went with that one.

This episode fucking hurts, but look at them 💜

There is nothing wrong and everyone is happy.

Gotham Twitter AU Pt. 25

<<Part 24<< Master List >>Part 26>>

They're taking Shrek off Netflix this July 31st and I am mentally unwell about it. I literally watch it multiple times (3-5 times) a week.

I have like over ten unfinished fics from multiple fandoms in my docs just staring at me, waiting for the day I finally breathe life back into them 😞

Tried a new thing in the last pic where it's just individual tweets instead of threads. What do yall think?

Six posts SIX DAYS IN A ROW, BABY!

Some of my personal favorite panels from s3 of Batman: Wayne Family Adventures so far

The Batfamily waiting for Duke and Bruce in the Batcave in episode 116 of Wayne Family Adventures.

I’m not saying Batman has his kids color coded… but Dick gets the blue cup, Jason gets the red cup, etc.

As black history month in America approaches, I really want to see more black batman/batfam content. Give Duke Thomas his flowers, more recognition for the Fox family. Fuck it even fanon versions, bring back John boyega red hood. And on that note if you think race swapping is wrong, question why Selina is allowed to be black in everything apart from comics (yes Eartha kitt but even then why was that fine for you). Black Bruce Wayne and all the interesting questions that brings to his character.

What does blackness look like in gotham. Especially with the state in batman comics today with the fear mongering present currently. What's it like for the average black person living in gotham city, do they actually trust their heroes? did they ever bring an unconscious bias to crime fighting and before we're quick to claim our heroes as perfect symbols of justice, think on their backgrounds and how much they'd have to learn and unlearn to get to that point.

Like more on Duke Thomas because imagine how that would have felt. Being black and in this city where the politicians don't help you, where you most probably had family members that did what the needed to do to survive and provide who came out of those choices with broken bones and scary stories about the creature your city hails as a knight. Imagine one day, in the middle of the day, when you thought you're alone and nobody was coming for you, you're saved. You're saved by a figure in bright yellow and when he speaks, his words are like yours and his skin is only a couple shades off and he most probably smiles and shines a little bit. Imagine the feeling of seeing a streak of yellow dart across the city and feeling like they're there just for you.

Luke: I was was talking to Damian once and he was like "oh I like old music" and I was like "oh really" expecting it to be like the Beatles or something. Turns out this kid likes listening to the earliest forms of recorded sound from the 1800s on the original machinery.

I originally did this back in July and didn’t post it but I saw a post of someone saying they have no idea what the appropriate ages for the bats would be so I present to you:

The Bat Age Breakdown (at least as much as I can gather from the thousands of timelines)

(if you don’t want to read my process, bottom has example ages)

So generally Bruce adopts Dick when he’s in his early twenties (I’m going to use 22) and when Dick is 8.

Jason is adopted at age 12 and when Dick is freshly an adult so I’m going 18, which means you’d need to add ten years to Bruce, making him 32.

I’m going to skip to Tim cause of how timeline works. Tim is definitely the most difficult so it’s mainly based on what I think makes sense. I’d say Tim was like 13/14 when Jason died, which would make Dick 21 and Bruce 35.

Cass is pretty easy cause her and Jason are very close in age (in most of our understanding cause her age is also kinda fucked) so she’d be 15 at this time. If you go with her being around Jason’s age, she’s younger cause he’s August and she’s January.

Steph I would say is about a year older than Tim. Tim definitely fucks with shit, because him and Steph dated but she’s now a college student and he’s still seventeen; so I’m just saying she’s older than Tim. So she’s like 13/14 at that point.

Jason’s been back for awhile when Damian comes around at around age 10, I’d say he’s like 20 so everyone else ages up accordingly. Bruce is 40, Dicks 26, Jason and Cass are 20, Steph’s 18, and Tim’s 17.

Duke comes in generally when Damian’s been with the bats for a while so I’d say Damian’s twelve when Duke gets taken in and Duke is 16ish. Once again everyone ages up accordingly and we end up with these ages:

Bruce - 42

Dick - 28

Jason - 22

Cass - 22

Steph - 20

Tim - 19

Duke - 16

Damian - 12

Not-main bats are harder so it’s just vibes:

Kate - 37-40 (younger than Bruce but not by too much)

Luke - 32-34

Babs - 28-31 (I like an older Barbara cause she was originally older, I also like her being close in age to Luke (I hc them as besties))

(This is just a base where everyone is in the family, they can be aged up and down as needed)

I’m not doing Alfred or Lucius, that hurts my head.

Me: explaining Batman, the Robins, the Batfam, and how they all entered Bruce’s life

My bestie: so it’s basically the cat allocation system but with vigilante children

Me: …….yes

Pt. 28 Gotham Twitter AU

<<Part 27<< Master List Happy B-Day Tim >>Part 29>>

Planning on doing a Q&A for Gotham's vigilantes (not their civilian selves). If yall want to leave some questions for them to be included in the AU, go ahead! I'll try to add in as much as I can.

I feel bad sometimes when I don't answer everybody's asks, but sometimes they're spoilers for things to come so I can't 😭
