"I haven't really lived here in months. Place is probably a mess. In bed by midnight. When's the last time that happened? Never knew there were so many minutes in one night. No coffee, orange juice, milk or cereal. Breakfast's a wash. Maybe I could call for a pizza-- a cornflake pizza."

Cornflake pizza... may god forgives you because I can't, Dick Grayson. 😆

This scene. Made me so mentally unwell. Like. Spiritually unwell, even. A wave of nausea is the best way to describe it.

The daily planet runs a front page article calling superman the light of mankind

Cue the batfam launching a counter campaign in support of Signal,  the real Light of Mankind.

It starts as a joke but quickly derails into an all out war.

"trans people deserve love respect and dignity" - sweet nothing, pablum, easy to co-opt into nonperformative statements, it's giving Labour Party

"Public Official X's specific decision to Y is completely unevidenced and is harming trans people. Public Official X should resign or face consequences." - unco-optable, focused on justice, deliciously angry

Welp. Things get weird with the anesthesia department from time to time. Today a patient, left unsupervised for 5 whole minutes in their surgical ward, chewed their central line out...

"...We watched my parents fall to their deaths from a sabotaged trapeze rig-- murdered by a Grade B hood named Boss Zucco who was trying to extort money. --I became Robin, history's first kid sidekick. There I was the laughing boy daredevil-- Tearing through Gotham City with the great Batman himself. I thought I was the hottest item in town. But it wasn't all fun. I was on call twenty-four hours a day and you subjected me to discipline that would make a Marine Boot Camp look like a Scout Girl Cookie Fest. I was able to handle school work-- but there was no time for anything else. No football games, no dances, no proms, no girlfriends. Just Robin, laughing boy daredevil. Batman's faithful shadow. And where was Dick Grayson? Nowhere. Nowhere at all. Eventually I cut loose from you. I thought I was becoming my own person. But was I? I adopted this identity-- Nightwing-- A bargain basement version of Batman, and I continued to do as I'd always done. Wear a mask and fight the bad guys... I realized I'm not you. I was never you. I don't want to be you... I want you to have the Nightwing suit, here. -What should I do with it? -Put it in a trophy case. Give it to the Salvation Army. Burn it."

77. Ballad of the Walking Machines — CG5, JT Music

All the sins remain with the pain inside They reskinned my face, but the paint won't dry If you're alive right now, survive right now That's all you can do

Ohhh I'm so glad I finally get to draw to Ballad of the Walking Machines!! This one has been rattling around in my head since last year's wrapped drawings, but I was never able to put any of my thoughts onto paper!

On Bdubs' playlist, this song has always stuck to me as a representation of the other side of all of the horrors Etho's undergone over the course of Season 8, set during Destruction as Bdubs waits outside of the lab for what's supposed to be a relative simple diagnostic appointment, so he was told. As Bdubs, completely unaware than anything was even wrong with Etho until the start of the season, waits with baited breath to hear if his friend is okay, he's remind of their rough beginnings and how far he's come, both as a person and as Etho's friend. The tension that had come from a place of fear now comes from a desperate hope that Etho will be okay, and Ballad of the Walking Machines really well represents the juxtaposition between Bdubs' original fears of androids and his fear and hope in the present day that his dear friend will be okay.

I’D LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO POINT OUT THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN CONVICTED

The meme culture of internet has jumped on the bandwagon and I’m concerned that by making him the face of all the memes online we are creating a sense of inevitability that he must LEGALLY be guilty, because if not then why would we all be talking about him? The crime is ALLEGED and until ANYONE is convicted we deny, deny, deny

Ok I drew them with silly 'hats' to cover their ears too (Vasco is wearing ear socks)

Machete looks like a jester
