WE ARE ROBIN 3.0
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
30 years into the batman's carrier the We Are Robin movement has decreased since its original formation six years ago, nonetheless, the youths of Gotham still come out to protect its nest.
This iteration of the team consists of three previous members who have stayed to mentor and give support to the five new recruits.
Shug-R mostly just does the hacking and planning but if needed she also acts as a field medic, since she joined the oracles her job became way easier.
Daxton Chill aka Alt is the mechanic/tech support for the team but unfortunately that makes him the least active member on the team during missions.
Isabella Ortiz aka redbird co-leaders with Shug-R, she is romantically involved with the leader of the Gotham Knights.
Nathan and Michael Hook have been both a pain in the ass and a blessing to Orpheus and Onyx for their incredible inventions, that intrigued Dax and he decided to give them a chance and, well, when four superheroes give you a thumbs up you can't say no.
Dexter Dent is the son of ex-supervillain Harvey Dent and [REDACTED], his father is VERY agonist of him being a vigilante even tho the hypocrite himself is one now, on an unrelated note the penguin seems quite fond of the lad.
Tiffany Fox has been surrounded by heroes all her life with you would think it meant she would have an easier time getting into the hero game but noooo it couldn't be so easy... Her Brother's solution was to put her with these kids as a compromise.
Aurora or as she likes to be called, hoopoe, hopes to one day become a great hero just like Bryne is.
Like any self-respecting superhero team they have their own headquarters called the nest, this one given to them as a first outing gift by Tim Drake who owned it first. Their range extends from the Hill all the way up to Robbinsville, when they patrol it's not unusual to team up with the night shift and the Gotham knights but they also find themselves paired with fennec fox of all people most of the time.
NOTE: for those who don't know who Nathan, Michael and Aurora are the first 2 appear in batman: black & white vol 2 #6 and DC power 2024 while Aurora is from batman: the brave and the bold 2023 #6-7-8, also the DCPU tag is to navigate my dc universe and We Are Robin 2.0-4.0 are placed in different points in the timeline so I don't wanna use them yet.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary:
You go out to a bar with your team and kwon sees an opportunity.
OR reader teaches kwon a few moves
notes:
I can't dance so I did my best describe it.
Also, if you are the person who asked me to write a fic of the reader getting hurt. I accidentally deleted your request, but that is something that i'm working on a little bit.
part one // prev part
1.1k written by:
S A R A H
You sat with Sam and Robby a table away from Dimitri and Eli. The bar buzzed with music and chatter, but you were more focused on your water (you didn’t like drinking, same as Robby, and pop was off-limits during the season—you were strict about keeping your body in peak condition). Sam and Robby were deep in conversation about Tory and Miguel, their voices low but laced with tension.
“ I hope Carmen is okay.” Robby said idly, spinning his straw in his glass “ Did you talk to Miguel before they left?”
Sam shugs, “ for like thirty seconds. We were excited to go exploring but now…” 
You nudged your twin with an elbow. “ You feel any better?” 
He scoffed, his lips curling into a humorless smile. “ No, honestly I'm actually thinking of adding rum to this coke.”
Sam smiled a little thinking he was kidding. “ Yeah right you don't drink.” 
Robby’s gaze dropped to his drink, his fingers tightening around the glass. “ might be the time to start, I've been screwing everything up since Tory put us on break and it's not even affecting her.” 
“ Like salt on an open cut.” 
“ Yeah, she's fighting better than ever.” 
 Sam leaned forward letting her arms rest on the table. “ Tory chose the other side and I feel terrible for her but we can't keep letting her get in our heads like this. We just have to accept she's against us.” 
You huffed, rolling your eyes. “ You guys are acting like we're at war, she's not against us.” You said with a shake of your head. “ She picked a different team because she was vulnerable, and a master manipulator took advantage of that. It’s not that simple. You of all people know that, you were talking about it last night.” 
Sam stared over your shoulders without replying, her facing falling. “ I'm gonna get some air.” She said getting up. 
Both you and Robby turned confused  following her gaze to the door. That’s when you saw them—Tory, Kwon, and a few of their teammates walking in, looking every bit like they owned the place.
Kwon stared at you and gave you a little nod. A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as he made his way across the bar.
Your back straightened unconsciously, and you had to put your hands in your lap to stop yourself from messing with your hair. 
Kwon stopped beside you, his smirk growing wider. “ Hey,” he said smoothly, his eyes locking with yours. “ Dance with me?”
Before you could say anything, Robby’s chair scraped back as he stood abruptly, squaring his shoulders. “ She’s not interested.”
Kwon barely glanced at Robby, he only had eyes for you. “ I’m pretty sure she can speak for herself, man.”
“ Robby cool off, it's fine.” You said, trying to defuse the situation.
Robby frowned, his jaw tight, but he didn’t say anything else.
“What do you say?” Kwon asked, his voice low enough that it felt like the rest of the room disappeared.
You hesitated, glancing at Robby, who was still standing stiffly. Then you looked back at Kwon.
“ Okay,” you said, taking his hand.
Kwon’s smirk turned into a genuine smile as he led you to the small dance floor at the center of the bar. “ I didn’t think you’d say yes.”
“ Why?” You looked up at him.
“ You don’t like disappointing your team.” He huffed. 
“ One dance won’t kill them.”
“ Just one?” He teased, slipping an arm around your waist. “ I plan to keep you here all night.” 
You felt your cheeks get warm, but put an arm around his neck anyway. “ One,” you repeated, though your lips twitched into a smile. 
“ Counter offer, ten and a kiss.” He said with a sly grin. 
Your jaw dropped, and your eyes went wide. “ Damn you got a drink in you already?” 
“ Nah don’t drink in season.” 
“ That right?”
He hummed swaying with you to the beat. “ That’s right.” 
“ Five and I teach you how to two-step and a shoulder dip.”
“ Deal.” He said almost before you could finish talking. “ Sounds like you know your stuff.”
“ My mom used to take me and Robby to bars all the time, I learned a few things.” You took both his hands and held them up by your sides. “ A two step is easy, all you do is step forward with your left foot, then follow with your right foot. Then go back, right foot first and repeat.”
“ Just go back and fourth?”
“ Yep, super simple.” 
So that’s what you did, a back and forth two step until he seemed to get bored and spinning you. “ Alright now show me the other one.” 
“ Okay,” you laughed. “ First thing, take my hand,” he did. “ Now you're going to spin me out, away from you.” 
He did as told, spinning you out and pulling you back in, “ Like that?” He asked. 
“ Just like that,” You encouraged. “ But when you pull me back, spin me in twice, so towards your body.” 
He did both steps again. 
“ Perfect next cross your arm over and slide while I drag my hand around your back.” You explained while showing the moves you were talking about. “ Now I do a half spin so my back is facing you and I am going to fall.”
“ A trust fall?”
“ Yes. There is more but I don’t think your ready to carry me on your shoulders.”
He scoffed playfully, “ I can, promise.”
“ Swear you won’t drop me?”
“ Yes.” He says, “ what’s the saying?”
“ Cross my heart?”
“ And hope to die, yes that one.”  
“ Okay in that case, grab my waist.” He did. “ I’m going to jump onto your shoulders, on three ready?”
“ Yes.” He effortlessly picked you up, and ducked his head under your spit legs. 
“ Next I’m going to swing my left leg around and you are going to keep hold of my right, when I do that my body will fall into your arms while I keep an arm around the back of your neck to support you. When we both are standing again you will spin me one more time with the hand you have around my thigh. Got it.”
“ Understood.” He yelled back over the music. 
“ Ready?”
“ Yep.” He confirmed. 
You did everything you said you were going to, albeit a little clumsy, with it being his first time, but at least he didn’t drop you like the guy who taught you did. He was spotting Robby, who was holding you, the two of you were only ten and thought it’d be a cool trick to show mom. Instead you got your first concussion, and Robby broke his nose when he fell face first into the floor.
Kwon steadied you as you spin back to him, his arm loosely draped around your waist. His grin was wide and infectious, “ real speed this time?”
He didn’t wait for your answer before he spun you out and back in while you giggled.

A Sydcarmy Christmas.
Tumblr media
Happy Holidays everyone! Please share your Sydcarmy Headcannons, I’d love to hear them all !!!
Here are some of mine:
• Carmy isn’t big on PDA, but he has a stash of mistletoe sprigs that he keeps in his pocket. Periodically throughout the Adamu-Berzatto Christmas celebrations, he will pull Syd into an unoccupied room and put that mistletoe to use.
• I feel like Sydney looooves Christmas. As soon as Halloween is over she is bumping carols around the house. She is absolutely making Carmy put on Santa hats and reindeer ears, the whole nine. I also think she takes so much pride in her gift wrapping. Her presents are so perfect that people feel bad ripping them open.
• I feel like Emmanuel Adamu has a fire sweet potato pie recipe.
• Emmanuel thinks Carmy is a wonderful chef, but doesn’t trust him to make the baked Mac & Cheese.
• Richie, Cicero and Emmanuel and maybe Ted (not Neil) perform old school R&B versions of carols, with the harmonies and everything for the family. (ex: Silent Night by the Temptations). Richie and Ted are definitely toasted on spiked egg nog and the older fellas are stone cold sober. Richie and Ted are genuinely trying their best to get the vocals right which makes it 10x funnier.
• Carmy is super uncle. He buys his niece/nephew waaayyy too many gifts to the point where Shug gets annoyed because they won’t have space for everything in the little kids room. He gets Eva the super loud gifts that he knows will annoy Richie
• When they first got together, Carmy wasn’t into the big family Christmases so he would try to whisk Sydney away to really nice vacations so that they could just spend their Christmas holiday one on one.

Okay I’m pissed. Read WFA’s We Are Robin’s chapter. Sure, it gets the themes right, whatever. There isn’t a lot of good to say about getting the surface level topics correct, it’s just accurate.
What I’m mad about is Troy. The casual dismissal of Troy’s death as “wishing to not let untrained kids play vigilantes” or whatever.
Tumblr media
That’s not what Troy’s death represents at all. Troy’s tragedy was so much more than that.
Tumblr media
I actually was taken a little by how most of Duke’s friends reacted after, Riko Dre and Izzy, they kept going despite how scary that was, that fascinated me a lot. I thought more of them would react like Dax did, lose just a tiny bit of hope, especially Riko who also admired a batfam adjacent symbol like Dax did. Troy was the loss along the way, but they knew long ago it was a risk since they started their journey. Might be because the story was so short and had to move quickly anyways, but it still shows that Troy’s death was part of their motivator, not their obstacle. Their path is to save lives, including their own.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
YES IT WAS YOUR FAULT! It absolutely was his fault!!! Forget about sugarcoating it!!!!!!!!! Stop making Duke sugarcoat the batfam’s guilt for no reason either, it’s just weird. Ewwwwww *shudders* 😰 Just let it be man!!!!
i just find this pitiful expression of Troy’s death a bit annoying. Just a little bit.
Tumblr media
“Them” “I” not “We” ?????????? Ughhhhhhhhh how could you have Duke refer to We Are Robin through “them” pronouns instead of “we” pronouns UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Shug-R and Oracle…. I mean that was the seemingly natural conclusion to a side support, but Shug has shown to get in on the action too, albeit less so. I have no clue if she’s even tech smart, she just uses a computer? If WFA assumes going on a computer means you’re tech smart then idk how to break it to them. It’s fine to mention, i just wonder why it feels like an off note, could’ve easily integrated Shug by having her text them herself, to feel more involved instead of separated. But i digress
Dre smiles too much. It’s weird. I’m creeped out everytime.
Oh man, Riko would’ve soooooooooo hit Damian. Since Izzy wasn’t there to beat him up again.
Half of this story not about Duke, which is fine but i didn’t realize WFA switched over their formatting, they combined 2 chapters into 1 to make it longer i think. Might be a Season 3 only change?
this might the the only time the WFA artist attempts to draw canon accurate Duke ever instead of this 🥺 sad nervous scared face that makes me want to punch his face in, and he looks so funny (i also think the smirks Tim does looked funny too, and out of place but i’m unsure why. I just have no idea why Tim is smirking so much or so strangely, but yeah)
Tumblr media
So Duke’s We Are Robin appearance isn’t over? Is this an arc?? So i still have to wait and read more chapters just to see Duke??? Horrendous idea, how dare.
We Are Robin’s canon accurate designs might look cooler if drawn by Starbite 🤔 right now they just look bland for no reason. I mean, their actual outfits had more detail, and Riko is just wearing some rando clothing for no reason

They keep saying they won't show the baby becuz of rumors...but the rumors r becuz they won't show the baby. Just show the baby. Everyone else did when there baby was born. Then rumors will stop. Have the verified Henry Cavill IG page post the baby
Facts shug!
A simple post that says
Welcome to the world_____ born on July____2024....
Would have been the post he needed to back everyone off the rumors.
But if you think about it shug, rumors started when he never wished her a happy 1st Mother's Day last year , and she didn't even post about it being her first Mother's Day. Which was quite weird 💯 %
Then he posts a Father's Day post instead asking for advice like a single dad looking for help from other single father's.
And let's not forget she wasn't in the photo with him in the nursery. He took the picture with his phone at an angle that showed he took it himself, and he never mentioned her at all in the post. She just commented delusional blah blah blah...
Mother's Day of 2024, in my opinion, is what made it all very weird for not mentioning the woman who was carrying his first child on her day.
Weirdos....😂
Something smells like bull shit shug😏

Everyone who has ever, even slightly, been Robin
*In official, DC-endorsed media 
Total: 100 (i think)
FYI:
my definition of a ‘Robin’ is extremely vague. For example, I’m counting Lois Lane because she went to a costume party as Robin, and I’m also counting ‘Boy’ from Batman: the Return of Bruce Wayne because he had the domino mask paint and was clearly a stand-in for Robin. Et cetera.
They’re organized chronologically by their first appearance as Robin
Also this is heavily dependent on DC Fandom Wiki, so please let me know if I missed anyone or if anything is inaccurate

Bittersweet AU:
The Robins that Bruce is now working with Is the 'we are Robin' groups so it's Isabella Ortiz, Riko Sheridan, Daxton Chill, Dre Cipriani, Troy Walker, Darcy Thomas, and Shug-R. And Duke of course, as the Signal.
By now they are all between the ages of 18-21, most attending Gotham U. Despite them coming from all walks of life, they are incredible tight-knit. They formed an on campus group called "Be a Hero Everyday" to promote doing acts of kindness and standing up for those around you. They'll host fundraisers, and do community service and encourage others to spread the good. It's was Isabella and Riko's idea

Gang Starr - Moment of Truth (31/03/1998)
Tumblr media
"Moment of Truth" es el quinto álbum de estudio del dúo de la East Coast Gang Starr, conformado por el legendario DJ Premier nacido en Houston, Texas y la leyenda del Jazz Rap Guru “Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal” de Roxbury, Massachusetts pero ambos con orígenes en el rap de New York, el álbum fue lanzado hoy 31 de marzo de 1998 bajo el sello discográfico Noo Trybe Records, subetiqueta de Virgin Records. Fue considerado uno de los mejores álbumes de rap de la época y es ampliamente reconocido como uno de los álbumes más importantes en la historia del hip hop.
Tumblr media
El álbum cuenta con la producción de DJ Premier, quien es conocido por sus intrincados arreglos de samples y beats innovadores. Las letras, escritas y rapeadas por el fallecido MC Guru, se centran en temas de la vida callejera, la lucha por la supervivencia y la importancia de mantenerse fiel a uno mismo.El álbum incluye canciones emblemáticas como "You Know My Steez", "The Militia", "Above The Clouds" o "Moment of Truth", todas las cuales se convirtieron en éxitos de la radio y son consideradas clásicos del hip hop.
Tumblr media
En 1998, el rap de la costa este de los Estados Unidos estaba en una fase de evolución. A mediados de los años 90, la costa este había dominado el panorama del hip-hop con artistas y grupos como Jay-Z, DMX, Big Pun, The Lox, Mobb Deep, Canibus, Black Star, The Fugees, Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, entre otros comerciales y de la escena Underground, además, de las recientes muertes de los raperos 2Pac y Notorious B.I.G. donde el hip-hop vivio una ruptura y empezó a buscar nuevas formas de expresión.
El hip-hop de la costa este en este período se caracterizó por un enfoque más oscuro y agresivo en las letras, con beats duros y ritmos lentos tipo Boom Bap.
El álbum "Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life" de Jay-Z, lanzado en 1998, fue un gran éxito en la costa este y en todo el mundo, y se convirtió en uno de los álbumes de hip-hop más vendidos de la década. Otros álbumes notables de la costa este de 1998 incluyen "It's Dark and Hell is Hot" de DMX, "Capital Punishment" de Big Pun y "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" de Lauryn Hill, que fusionaba el rap con el soul y el R&B.
Tumblr media
Gang Starr - Moment of Truth
El álbum ha sido el mayor éxito comercial del grupo hasta la fecha. Moment of Truth debutó en el puesto número 1 en la lista Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums, vendió 97.000 copias en su primera semana vendiendo más de 500.000 copias siendo certificado Oro por la RIAA el 7 de mayo de 1998. El sencillo principal, "You Know My Steez", se convirtió en la segunda aparición del dúo en el Billboard Hot 100 en 1997, alcanzando el puesto 76. La revista Spin lo clasificó como el álbum número 16 de 1998. Pitchfork también lo clasificó como el 16º mejor álbum de 1998.
El disco cuenta con la aparición de artistas como K-Ci & JoJo, Inspectah Deck, Hannibal Stax, M.O.P., Big Shug, Freddie Foxxx, Krumb Snatcha, G. Dep, Shiggy Sha y Scarface.
