#I have a bunch of info about him

[misano17]

I joined a dnd campaign, and this is my silly guy

…it’s Cy again. But he’s different cuz dnd <<33 more info about him under the cut <3

K, so he’s a Dhampyr. He’s my special little man who eats bugs, is repulsed by the taste of blood despite his cravings, and he really likes weapons.

Cy is a monk that comes from a, get this… monastic background 😮🤯. He grew up in a martial arts based monetary run by his father.

the monastery is called Abalone Mountain, and it specializes in jewel crafting.

Anyways, what’s Cy’s Dhampyr heritage about? When a hot lady vampire and a cringe fail monastery head both need an heir, and also both of them are denying their feelings for one another, what are the results?

a half vampire man with loving parents and a really goofy yah family curse (said curse is his great great great grand uncle, but this isn’t about him)

Cy tends to use his fathers last name, though his actual name does include both his father’s and his mother’s.

Cy is a way of the long death monk who uses a quarterstaff, and enjoys playing the viol and jewel crafting in his free time.

he’s also smitten for a rouge Illithid who he met on his first journey outside the monastery <3

also being Chaotic Neutral helps him stay goofy.

I would absolutely love to hear about your faves 👀 Tell me everything you know 👀👀👀👀

AAAAAAVUYCDTIGCTUGCH YOU'RE A GEM THANK U FOR THIS 😭😭😭💚

this is super long bc I'm Completely Normal abt J'onn lmao whoops 😂

omfg where do I start. FIRST THINGS FIRST. HE. MY BELOVED. J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter, my favorite favorite of all time. no really it's coming up on 8 years and I still love him sm 😭 my one braincell may wander off to new fixations but I always circle back around to him sooner or later.

I have like 4747058 images of him ofc but these are SO good bc they tell a lot about him ??? he's cute, he's silly, he's dramatic, he's sassy, he's the heart of the Justice League twenty times over despite DC refusing to give him any time to shine (I'm going to fight them with my bare hands for that).

I've never posted this but it's been in my drafts for ever so I'll throw it in here 😂 I have so many thoughts about him omg

ALSO I have a whole thing analyzing J'onn's moral compass & development through Justice League Animated, Unlimited, and some of the comics a while back so there's tHAT WHICH,,, was super good imo 👏

uuuuughghghghh I could talk about him forever 😭💚

When it comes to people Superman wouldn't want to fight, J'onn is top of that list, that's canon. He's OP as FUCK. He has most if not all Clark's powers, shapeshifting, intangibility, invisibility, phasing, telepathy, seriously his powers seem to never end ??? But he's terribly underutilized :") like I get it but come on DC,,,

J'onn is addicted to Oreos. no, really. in MM 98 issue 24 Blue Beetle and Booster Gold have this Super Funny Idea to hide all the Oreos from J'onn, and you gotta applaud the dedication to the prank bc they literally went out and bought ALL the Oreos from the ENTIRE vicinity of the JL Embassy building. J'onn proceeds to Hulk out and tear up half the city chasing them for it. It's revealed by Batman that Martians can get addicted to Oreos. At the end of the issue it turns out this is just a story J'onn is telling Diana but... he winks and asks if she's got any cookies, so it's up for debate if it's really just a story [I think there's some truth to it. bc it's very funny.]. And the Oreo thing comes up many times in many places including JLTAS 😂

He also likes sweet things in general !! he canonically drinks coffee with a TON of sugary shit to take off the bitter taste. I also made the hc that was the case for him just days before reading it in MM Identity and I'm very real for that 👏

J'onn is a cat person. One of his aliases is even an Italian street cat named Tommaso. And he has an orange cat named Double Stuff,,, of course 😂

however,,, he's totally a dragon nerd, he knows everything about dragons, he likes reptiles in general but dragons are his fav. He shapeshifts into draconic creatures all the time and he talks many times abt a specific species of moon nesting dragon called quonars. He also telepathically connected with an iguana once and it was a wholesome experience 🥺

J'onn lives in Colorado, in a suburb named Middleton, which is actually the name of a real ghost town! it's interesting that Denver is his preferred climate bc you can assume Mars was similar 👀

He is THE sass master. He goes toe to toe with Batman constantly. One of these days I'll just make a list of every sassy line he delivers in JLTAS but I think that would be a whole book by itself. There's a video of sassy moments from Batman: The Brave and the Bold that I watch 400 times a week. One of my favorite comic sass moments is when Batman expresses his annoyance at J'onn for leaving on the middle of an important meeting, which J'onn happily counters with a "you're so right, it would look bad on the League if someone just vanished at random all the time, huh Batman :)." he then also takes a crack at Bruce's lack of people skills. iconic.

He's also a silly little guy. The Batman 2007? J'onn OWNS the noir detective role, down to the cheesy old fashioned music. He also has like, a whole list of quotes he's just waiting to use when the time is right. He waited years to say "You're probably wondering why I've called you all here today." love him fr

J'onn is canonically kind of an adrenaline junkie. He loves driving, particularly an 87 Chevy Impala which he affectionately says "vibrates like a Chihuahua with a head cold." He once physically linked with an entire damaged spaceship to steer it out of danger and got carried away bc he was just having fun. He also said it was similar to the video games he plays with GL-- so he's canonically a gamer, too 😂👏

I 100% believe he's got anxiety or at LEAST separation anxiety [and that may be the case for the entire Martian race]. I already thought as much but then JLU issue 24 kinda confirmed it and it was devastating :") the League is taken over by Starro, J'onn is the only one who dodges the attack and he's left to fight his teammates which. is already awful for him. and it triggers flashbacks to a time on Mars when he was separated from his family in a nasty sandstorm. J'onn went pretty much feral with panic until he broke down and then forced himself to calm down enough to think of a plan. Meanwhile back with the League he's frantically trying not to panic again bc, while fire is a Martian's greatest weakness, "being alone is a Martian's greatest fear." I cried the whole time I read that issue and then I bought a copy LMAO. can DC stop putting him through the PTSD wringer for five seconds thanks

One short comic run J'onn spends the whole time being chased by the Martian god of fire, H'ronmeer, bc it turns out he was psychically keeping the souls of the entire Martian population tethered to the mortal realm. he's super powerful and HE'S GOING THROUGH IT. ALL THE TIME.

I don't have the context for either happenstance at this time, but J'onn has been both a Black and a White Lantern in comics. I have no idea what any of it means, either, I just know it's happened. I'll get there eventually. maybe. [I think he's dead for the Black Lantern thing so...probably...not...]

^^^ this is up there with the whole "J'onn was actually an advance agent for the invading Martian species but rather than let them use him as a weapon he essentially committed suicide after fighting the whole Justice League [beat them easily, it wasn't even a competition] and somehow this split his consciousness into like 4 different people" of comic runs that I really don't want to read [even though I own this one] :") help

I don't know what it is about forcefields but his brain just shuts off when he gets near one fr. Multiple times when there's a forcefield, EVEN IF HE KNOWS IT'S THERE, J'onn just yeets headfirst into it. He's just generally super impulsive tho ??? This guy is constantly jumping into action without a moment's thought. pls stop handing off the braincell to absolutely no one when there's danger, J'onn [he does not actually have the braincell at any given time. only Bruce has it. occasionally].

He totally enjoys starting shit. J'onn is Here for teammate drama. He once gave Batman absolutely what for and called him immature just bc J'onn was annoyed with his attitude. He sends people on League missions that will either bring out complete drama or make them find common ground. Though he says the contrary, J'onn is absolutely in the background of every team squabble with popcorn like Thor watching Tony and Cap argue. "You're all so petty. And tiny."

J'onn's name means "light to the light" and it's so poetic 😭😭 of COURSE he's the heart of the League. akdjfndckdnxkd

I'm going to stop there bc I could go on forever but I've held this ask hostage in my drafts long enough 😂😂 ENJOY THE RAMBLING THANK U FOR SENDING THIS ASK AAAA 💙

[hugoweavingbaskets]

Had a date at my place last night and I made it clear several times beforehand that I was going to need a lot of time to warm up to anything sexual and probably not anything on the first date

He got to my place at EIGHT O CLOCK AT NIGHT and I made him a drink and we settled in on the couch to chat. He seemed nice and there were moments of us connecting but it was clear to me that this wasn’t going to go anywhere since we didn’t have much in common. At around 9 (wait omg it just occurred to me that we had only been chatting for an hour?!?! It felt like it was 2 or 3???) the conversation had slowed considerably and he turned to me

Him: “so how do you want to get this started?”

Me: “what do you mean”

Him: “you know… having some fun 😉😏”

Me: just completely silent for like five minutes trying to formulate an answer and also contemplating if I wanted to do anything. He was pretty cute and I am trying to be open to the idea of casual relationships but I realized that it wasn’t going to ever be something I could just plan ahead of time

Him: “so like… what do you want to do first”

Me: just STARING at my cup of water “I’m not sure I’m ready for anything”

Him: “it’s okay we can do it next time”

Me: oh yeah okay we’re never meeting again

There’s no moral to this haha just that dating is hard and I am picky and also not the type of a large segment of people so my options are limited and it is a little demoralizing 😋 but we stay silly :3

Gentle Noble Volume 8 has been delayed once again

WHAT IS HAPPENING

[bywandandsword]

Listen to me, listen to me If someone comes up to you, bouncing with excitement about an idea, but as they're explaining it to you, you realize the idea isn't feasible to achieve, DO NOT just pop this person's excitement bubble and walk away

You gently, tactfully, kindly point out the holes in their idea. Then offer solutions and/or get them to start brainstorming on how to make the idea feasible. At the very least, be encouraging

It sucks ass to be on the receiving end of someone popping your excitement bubble and leaving you totally deflated. And nothing will stop me from coming to you with things I'm excited about faster than it

.havign lots of thoughts about how npcs are portrayed learning about the nature of their universe in works

[yaminerua]

Rimmer deciding he’ll try to keep going with therapy sessions with Snacky the dispenser because even though he had only mistaken Snacky as Asclepius and all the help he thought he got from that session was all in his head he DID feel better after getting it out of his system and sometimes Snacky does have insight into some of the things he struggles with so why not keep it up? Snacky may not be qualified in that area but he has picked up a lot of potentially useful information just by being in the vicinity of intelligent people from various different fields. He was after all able to configure the stasis booths successfully. And besides, for Rimmer, getting things off his chest to someone who won’t be likely to use what they learn about him against him is better than the alternative of just sitting with it forever and never making progress.

Snacky will usually just let him vent, only offering advice if it seems fitting but otherwise most of the time Rimmer will talk himself round into some sort of realisation or solution on his own so there’s very little he needs to do other than be a listening ear.

But maybe one day Rimmer finally dares to bring up his insecurity around his sexuality and how he always tries to behave as expected, as he was raised to think and behave, but that it doesn’t come naturally to him and the whole thing always feels like he’s walking into an exam for a subject he’s never even taken. How he’ll pursue women and act the way he does but that it feels so much like an ill-fitting glove, a role he’s putting on and has been for years but he’s been too terrified to examine what that means because the alternative is something which was unspeakable of back on Io with all its uptight conservative traditionalist rigidity. So he just never dared think about it. Just pressed on as he always had been, trying to fit a mould he’s increasingly becoming worried he wasn’t made for.

Snacky tries gently to start suggesting some possible answers to all this but Rimmer is too flighty and immediately attempts to shut the conversation down, chickening out of hearing whatever Snacky has to say at the last second. He doesn’t want to know. He’ll just keep doing what he’s doing. What does it matter 3 million years in deep space anyway? He just wanted to get it off his chest, no advice needed, thank you Snacky, goodbye!!!!!

Snacky wouldn’t bother following it up at all if it didn’t continue to keep cropping up from time to time, the issue still evidently floating around unresolved amongst Rimmer’s many other anxieties regardless of how much he later insists he doesn’t actually want answers.

So instead of pushing the matter directly maybe Snacky decides to put the responsibility of learning about himself into Rimmer’s own hands and simply discretely delivers some informative pamphlets from the medical bay, info sheets on Asexuality for him to read at his own discretion to digest the information held within at his own pace.

When he finally does sit down and read them, after much procrastination and several attempts at throwing away the pamphlets before someone like Lister can see them, at first he feels kind of hollow, because he has to accept and face the reality that there really had been something missing there the whole time, something different that he had been overcompensating for. But after a long while of just sitting with the information he eventually accepts it reluctantly and is in a way somewhat relieved to have a reason to drop the performative act without it meaning or implying that he’s gay or anything instead…

well.

Snacky has thoughts on that too, of course, and has a selection of appropriate pamphlets set aside for future use when the time is right. Because it will crop up eventually. But for now it’s best to take this one step at a time. Rimmer needs time to fully process this first big revelation and discovery about himself. He needs to work through how he feels about it, how he feels his family might have felt about it, and whether he ought to even give a smeg about what any of them would have thought about it!

Unpacking the rest of himself will have to wait. And Snacky has a sneaking suspicion that once that particular process begins he’s going to have quite a lot more therapy sessions on his plate.

I gotta confess it is so much more fun talking to Sal as if he is a separate person like he wants and not a member of the system. He's super creative like. Its just fun.

[charlietheepicwriter7]

Despite Danny's best efforts, no matter how much time past, Amity Park refused to see Phantom as a hero.

Sure, there were pockets of support, particularly among teens, but most of the town blames Phantom for the property damage, saying if he didn't fight the ghosts then it wouldn't be so bad, to that time he got mind controlled by Freakshow and "attacked" the mayor. It wears him down. It wears Tucker and Sam down. Jazz can only try to support them all.

Then one day, a member of the Justice League visits. Someone minor, and kinda a jerk... maybe a Wonder Twin? Zan? Whatever. They don't investigate; they don't look deeper. They listen to the town folks and declare the ghost hunters, Red Huntress and the Fentons, to be the official heroes of the town.

Worse? Danny Phantom is officially considered a villain to the Justice League. Tuck hacks into the Watchtower and confirms that they have a file (a heavily inaccurate file) about how to defeat Phantom.

Danny doesn't think he can do this anymore.

A few weeks later, a young villain escapes into Amity and demands (begs) that Danny help them escape from the hero after them. No idea who, I can't find a lot of info on teen villains in DC, so let's fudge some ages and make it Kyd Wyckyd from the Teen Titans cartoon. Danny agrees, because to hell with the Justice Losers, and they defeat the hero, becoming friends in the process. Kyd confesses that they became a villain after being ostracized bc of how they look, and they've been trying to avoid villain organizations because HIVE was abusive, but it's really hard to be a villain alone bc of all the heroes.

Sam gets an idea. Tucker agrees with the idea. Jazz is just happy they'll end up making friends.

The next day, the Teen Villain Alliance is formed, ready to assist with any teenage illegal shenanigans their allies might get into.

Some notes:

It's created to be a healthier option for teen "villains" to connect with others and support each other.

It's more important that this is for Teens rather than Villains. They're tired of adult villains taking advantage of them. The TVA would rather ally with a teen vigilante than with an adult villain.

Again, no idea who the teen villains are, but Klarion is definitely here. He leaves the Light for the chaos of the TVA. Maybe Ember is there too?

Timeline wise, this is around when Tim is still Robin, but Damien has arrived at Wayne Manor.

This is because, when it comes time to try to infiltrate the TVA, they'll have a convenient child-assassin who has none of the monitors of a teen hero that Phantom immediately picks up on.

Damien, who at this point has been abandoned by his mother, dismissed and scolded by his father, and has had no success at carving his own place in the family, jumps at the chance. He is then surrounded by peers who don't insult him or try to change his behavior (too much; jazz is trying to help him find healthier methods of expressing himself). He... might not want to continue being a spy.

Danny, Sam, Tuck, and Jazz are the founding members.

Danny reinvents himself as the High Prince of the Infinite, Prince Phantom Dark. He got kingship from fighting Pariah Dark, but since he's still alive, he's only a prince. He steals the last name Dark as an intimidation tatic against those in the know; only Danny would have the balls to claim family with Pariah.

Sam works as a powerless villain, but she might no be powerless? Either way, Danny gives her a bunch of repurposed Fenton tech, and she buys the rest with her parents credit card. She does NOT care if that's traced back to the Mansons. She would choose something goth, maybe something spider related or even bat?

I love Pharaoh Tucker, so I think he should get magic powers? Since pharaohs of old were considered the balance between the real and the divine. He's still a tech guy, now he's a tech and magic guy.

Jazz isn't really a villain, more of a team mom who's planning on using everyone's psyche's as her thesis paper. You know what, that's her callsign, she's Psyche. Sometimes she flirts with Nightwing.

Yaaaaay 😍 new shorts/movies starring with the most precious human being ever 🤩

[signedsfs]

I've got some great fuckin news

Once again got a bee in my bonnet to spend a night doing obscure fandom research to make a point, so. For all those people who keep making the annoying, "Tim keeps '''stealing'' other peoples' names" comments -- have a table.

Everyone with a check mark has used that codename at some point in DC's 80+ year continuity -- Elseworlds and alternate dimensions/timelines count, adaptations (movies, video games, cartoons, etc.) don't unless they've got comic book tie-ins, and neither do in-universe dream sequences/illusions/fantasies/other narrative elements that are objectively "not real" within the boundaries of the fiction.

A purple marker indicates an element that only applies in Elseworlds or alternate timelines. Yellow is for the originator of the legacy title. Star symbol is for borderline cases/extenuating circumstances/it's open to interpretation (with some further elaboration below).

The "other" column is just there to account for people who've held lesser or non-legacy titles, like Renegade, Wingman, Arkham Knight, Drake, Redbird, Talon, Deadman, Black Bat, Orphan and Catwoman.

Point being: the people who have actually gone through the most legacy titles in this family are Dick, Babs and Jason, tied with 5 each (again, not counting "other;" if we counted those separately Dick would've had by far the most). Tim is tied with Steph AND Helena Wayne, so unless you're whining about them "stealing other peoples' names" you're just wrong, and they're all only one higher than Damian, Carrie and Bruce.

This is a legacy family that passes their codenames up and down the inheritance line. It's what they do. It's not a legitimate criticism to level at one character and not the others. Please get over it.

EDIT: I realize after posting this that I missed some colors on the table, mostly with Babs' Elseworld only roles (Batwoman and Nightwing) but I'm too tired to go back and correct them; refer to the info below for more details.

---

Further elaboration on some of the lesser known/niche cases:

- Bruce uses the Robin ID in Superman & Batman: Generations

- In the second half of Thrillkiller ‘62, Babs cuts her hair and dons the Robin costume worn by her deceased partner Dick to get revenge on his killer; however the only name ever used for her in the series is Batgirl

- Cassandra was a member of the Robins orphan gang from Dark Knights of Steel.

- Duke was a member of the We Are Robins gang, as well as the aforementioned DKS orphan gang, and has appeared as Robin in a couple of Elseworlds, including I believe a White Knight spin-off.

- Cass was Batwoman in one of the versions of the Titans Tomorrow, as was Bette Kane, depending on changes to the timeline.

- Babs is Batwoman in the Batman ‘66 comics and in the 1980 story “The Secret Origin of Bruce (Superman) Wayne”

- Earth-3 Steph is Batwoman in Young Justice 2019.

- Helena Wayne is Batwoman in the possible future story Last Rites

- Tim is a member of the Batgirls vigilante/little league baseball team in the DC Bombshells universe, as is Cullen Row. Some call them the “Batboys” instead. I call those people cowards.

- Helena Bertinelli wore the costume that would later become Cass’s signature Batgirl look during No Man’s Land. However, she was more often referred to as “The Bat” and her Batgirl status is up to individual interpretation.

- Dick didn’t originate the Nightwing name, it started with Clark in the Silver Age.

- Steph has never been Nightwing. The panel where she appears in the costume is a Black Mercy illusion that happens only in her own mind. It’s a dream sequence.

- Barbara was Nightwing in the Smallville Season 11 comics.

- Terry was briefly Nightwing in volume 4 of Batman Beyond.

- Damian briefly became Nightwing after accidentally killing Dick in the Injustice series.

- Dick is Oracle in the “Eight Wonders of the World” version of Earth 2 (aka the Black Superman dimension)
