#Red-Capped Robin

[blackrayser]

Born as a fanart of the board-game "Wingspan", it was selected to be printed on the official card in the limited edition coming this November!! 🥹🎨🐦

I really enjoyed paiting and discovering so many things about this adorable bird! 💕

[dreamzs338]

Red-capped Robin (Petroica goodenovii) is a small passerine bird, representing arid mallee, mulga, and bulloke scrubs across inland Australia.

The Red-capped Robin is one of the smallest and most brightly colored birds. It is also known as Redhead, redcap, robin red-breast, or red-throated robin. Local people across southwestern Australia called “menekedang”. In Kimberley, it is named “Kuburi”. It is a sexually dimorphic species of vibrantly colored robins in the family Petroicidae.

Vocalizations: Red-capped Robin’s call is a soft, dry tick, repeated slowly by both sexes. The song of the red-capped robin is low, insect-like rattling trill, dtit-dtit-dtrrr-it, repeated by the male.

Prompt:

A bit of dream and time magic become tangled on accident and result in robin!Jason sharing a dreamscape with one of the batfam post Ethiopia.

They can’t talk to or hear each other. They can only see each other.

It takes a while for the future Bat in question to figure out this is not just a nice dream where they get to spend time with a happy, carefree, safe Jason. And now it’s a race against time to find a way to convince him not to go to Ethiopia without using words. :)

Everytime I see Dick’s disco outfit I think to myself “oh honey… no…”

faintly reminiscent of watching elementary school boys start dressing themselves and choosing to wear neon orange nike shirts

Who Knows

Is it just me or does this scene have the same vibes to the Friends 'They don't know that we know that they know' scene. No? Just me? lol

Season 2, Episode 19: Parents Find Out

[snottertooder]

The Batman fandom is so irritating especially on tiktok and YouTube, I would rather throw myself in middle of a Maga crowd (and possibly get hate crimed) than read those comments bc 99.9% of them are arguing who would beat Batman, who the best Robin is(while pushing angry Robin!Jason todd/Murder hungry Damian Wayne Propaganda) (also forgetting about Duke and Steph the actual best robins) , The “heh… actually Bruce Wayne only loves Damian Wayne because he’s biological 😼” and Nightwing glazers.

Just shoot me atp it’s so atrocious, I once read someone say that Tim Drake can beat both Black bat and red hood but struggle with Nightwing…. Please let’s be real.. (this one was on Quora, arguably the worse one out of all the ones I’ve mentioned)

Of course they r different genres of story centered around very different characters and relationships and situations etc but i think also that just makes it funnier

ROUND 1B! MATCH 2 OUT OF 8

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Original Fairytale:

The girl, the myth, the legend. The one who started it all. She skips into the forest with head held high, unknowing of the wolf and the many, many retellings of her story. Something, something, puberty, something, something, men are wolves. Just let my girl wear her red cape and be on her way to Granny's, please and thank you.

I feel like in a lot of modern adaptations they get lost in making Red Riding Hood more a girlboss who fights back or making her secretly (or not secretly) the real wolf or having her and the wolf be love interests, they lose a lot of what made the original fairytale so good. AND SO CHILLING! We have been told this story so often since childhood we can forget how frightening it can really be. A lost young girl, punished for the follies of childhood. I also think that even in the "happy" endings when the huntsman saves her there is this sense that she will never be the same. Her childhood is over. And that's haunting! The horrors of unprotected innocence.

The Path:

Each of these girls deal with their personal demons- in this case, "wolves-" as they grow and mature on the path of life. Each of them represent a different stage of a young person's life as they go through the world and the different ways in which that world can turn on that young person when they allow themselves to get lost in a dense forest, culminating in their reflection on the life they led.

the path is just a really cool underrated game idk man

i just really really like the path 🤷‍♂️

I will admit I'm only familiar with The Path through Izzzyzzz's seminal video on the subject but her Vibes are pretty iconic

(Scarlet) Most underrated sister imo. Her story is hauntingly sad and has themes of "lost of childhood" in a completely opposite way from the original Red Riding Hood, a good twist on the story.

(Ruby) The most well-known of the Path girls and the most goth, I get very sad when I see her. I know "teen angst" is a joke but sometimes I see reminders of just how full of despair teenagers can be. Her self-destructive tendencies and her "Charming Wolf" are leading her down a path (pun intended) that could kill her if she is not saved in time. It's so easy to dismiss teenage impulsion but only the survivors can.

(Ginger) Girl is so queer. Love that for her.

(Ginger) lesbiam

(Robin) Little girl sees giant wolf and wants to take it for a ride. Nuff said. (Also her room is the scariest imo. A child learning about death and their own mortality is mundane but terrifying)

Please enjoy these pictures I took while birding on Sunday

Some sleepy goslings:

And some of their protective parents (THEY HAVE 6 PARENTS.  It’s takes a village I guess):

This brown thrasher, who almost got an old man to call the cops on me because he saw a sus girl taking pictures of some birds in the rain (I don’t know if that was the case, but I did see an old guy giving me the stink eye when I was flipping through my field book trying to ID this bird):

A grackle trying to figure out What The Heck Is Going On Down There?

And his funny little walk:

Somewhat blurry photo of a barn swallow flying around:

A red-winged blackbird trying to look majestic in the rain:

An his hard working wife bringing dinner (actually breakfast) to the table:

American Robin:

More photos of swallows flying.  This time tree swallows and the pictures are slightly better:

A tufted titmouse grabbing a snack in the rain:

An American goldfinch who is a Very Handsome Boi:

A white-breasted nuthatch crawling all over a tree:

An eastern bluebird hanging out with their kids (some juvenile bluebirds with a parent):

Indigo Bunting, pondering the questions and answers to life while chilling on a branch in the rain:

A downy woodpecker, trying to remember if this is a poll they can get bugs from on not if they whack it:

A black-capped chickadee, sitting still long enough in their life for me to take a picture:

An indigo bunting posing for me.  Thanks bud:

His wifey, looking for some food:

Another downy woodpecker, gazing off into the distance.  Probably thinking about food:

A female northern cardinal, considering what seed to eat next:

And her husband, keeping lookout I guess:

That’s all the birds I was able to get decent pictures of.  Here are some pretty flowers for you to enjoy too (as you can tell, it was raining on Sunday too):

All the Batkids have their own favourite Superhero (that’s not Batman), but it comes as a surprise when Damian says his favourite is Captain Marvel.

Captain Marvel, after being put on ‘Robin Watch’ after Batman had to disappear in the Watchtower for whatever reason: so … what do you like to do?

Damian, who vividly remembers Dick telling him to play nice or he’ll tell Batman about the 364 cats he’s fostered with Selina: I … like Cats

Captain Marvel, who has no idea what normal kids do: Oh, me too! My best friend is a talking cat!

Damian, intrigued: … elaborate

Captain Marvel, already showing Damian pictures of Tawny: This is Tawky Tawny, he’s a magic tiger that sometimes live in the Zoo! He’s also my best friend 🥰💕😍💕😍💖💗💗💗💗😍😊🎉😊😍😍

Damian, already calling Selina: I would like to meet this Tawky Tawny.

Later, Batman would start to panic when he couldn’t find Robin, but then would be shown a picture from Instagram of Robin, Catwoman and Captain Marvel in Fawcette Zoo, specifically the tiger cage hugging a massive Bengal Tiger, captioned “the most civilised tiger you will ever meet”. The next picture is a picture with the three of them having tea with said Tiger in a suit.

Bonus

Dick, Superman’s Number 1 fan: Oh please, he’s obviously the most like me! Captain Marvel and Superman look like they can be BROTHERS

Jason, forever a Wonder Woman Stan: HA, I heard that he WAS Wonder Woman’s Brother

Tim, hiding all his Cap merch: Oh yeah, he’s nothing like Red Tornado, so I’m good

Steph: why wasn’t I invited to the tea party …

Barbara and Alfred, tracking Captain down: Don’t worry, we’ll be invited to the next one

Cass, sensing something is off: … new … brother????

If you see Batman sulking in the corner, you saw wrong. If Batman sulks harder when he realises Barbara and Alfred figured out Captain Marvels identity before him and refuse to share… you’re a fucking liar.

Bonus

Flash: …

Captain Marvel: …

Flash: so when do we get to hug the magic kitty

Captain Marvel: FOR THE LOVE OF-

Tawny, not even a week later: ✨I’m so popular✨

Marvel not Caring

I feel like the few times Billy needs to get something over with, he just doesn’t care. Like honestly, I’m going to connect this to my Marvel Compilations post. (In that post I just talked about how Marvel could be a clip farm and the potential vids he would have) Let’s say these are all from the 8 minutes and 47 seconds of the Big Red Cheese tweaking out vid. Cause why not?

One day, Marvel’s doing patrol. See, he wants to get it done with, hopefully with no major villain attacks happening, because Darla has a school play, and he wants to see her, even if she got cast as a tree. But of course, things didn’t go his way, especially just when he needs to start heading out for the play.

*vid opens up to Marvel floating in the sky looking down at a Female Villain*

Female Villain: *attacking people and causing general havoc*

Marvel: *looks around for any cameras and doesn’t see the one recording the vid*

Female Villain: *sees him and his about to do something*

Marvel: *winds hand back (as if he needed to) and backhands her like an abusive husband*

Any Nearby Civilians: *cover their mouths as they look away. A good chunk of them sped walked away*

Female Villain: *knocked the fuck out*

I’m telling you right now, a good chunk of the comments on that video were something along the lines of ““that’s not right,” I whisper to myself as I speed walk away” or ““You don’t hit a woman,” I think to myself as I step into the safety of my car and drive away.” All stuff like that.

The day after that…

Marvel: “I just ended the problem as soon as I could, guys! I don’t beat women!” Superman: “We know! We know, but did you have to it so… so ferociously?”

Marvel: “Ferociously?”

Flash: “Dude, you looked like you’ve been waiting to do that.”

Marvel: “I haven’t! It was just effective, and I was on a time crunch.”

Flash: “Time crunch?”

Marvel: “Yeah, I had to see this person I know go be in a play.”

Batman: “Hn. You could’ve just said you wanted to see your child’s play. I’ll admit I’ve done something similar when Robin was in a play of his own.”

Superman: “Yeah. If the play thing is true, that’s a valid reason for any father to do that.”

Marvel: *a little confused as to why they assumed Darla was his kid* “Uh, yeah. I didn’t want to miss it.”

Flash: “Who was it for by the way? Junior or Mary?”

Marvel: “Neither.”

*silence*

Marvel: “You guys don’t know her. She isn’t a hero.”

Flash: “Dude… you have another kid? Why do you never tell us these things about yourself??”

Then, there’s another clip of Junior and Marvel. Beast Boy recorded the audio for shiggles and hid behind a wall but was surprisingly met with:

Marvel: “Okay, you know what, Junior? I don’t care that you’re disabled. Put your hands up.”

Junior: “Dude, I am not fighting you. You’re stronger than me.”

Marvel: “So? You’re only a little bit weaker. If you paid Mary like five dollars, I’m sure she’d fight with you. Now anyways put your hands up.”

Junior: “She’s not even here! And, hey- hey- Stop that!”

A lot of crashes and bangs could be heard for about 30 seconds. The video then ended.

Then, there’s another clip of him and Mary sibling arguing, but of course, most people think that Cap’s her and Juniors dad. So, when they say certain things, people tend to view it more extremely.

Marvel and Mary: *arguing*

Marvel: *says something completely outlandish that you should absolutely not say to a child*

Mary: *barely blinks and says something right back*

Marvel: “Oh so help me Gods, if we weren’t related, I would scrape your face across the pavement.”

Mary: “Oh yeah? Well if we weren’t related, I would skin you with a butter knife!”

The two proceeded to continue arguing before they somehow make up mid insult and go get ice cream like nothing happened.

Bonus:

Black Adam and Marvel: *floating up in the sky*

Black Adam: “You know, you’ve never said anything remotely similar to that to me.”

Marvel: “What’re you talking about?”

Black Adam: “I would scrape your face across the pavement.”

Marvel: *nearly has a heart attack when he says that*

Black Adam: “You said that to the girl. You’ve shown more disdain for that girl than you have for I.”

Marvel: “Uhhhh…” *panicking cause he doesn’t know about the video*

Black Adam: “Do you… not take me seriously?”

Marvel: “No, no, no, of course I do!”

In this AU, Marvel doesn’t really throw much shade at his villains aside from the occasional comment and that’s it.

who let red robin out of the house like this? do his parents not love him or something??
