It is truly wild how much that, like, having a Following on any social media makes you this weird poppet onto which people project their weirdest hangups. Does the thing have anything to do with who you really are? Nope! But it sure says a lot about that person, the things they project onto you.

Like, my friend, this is a parasocial relationship you have with that person. It's just a negative one. Your obsession does nothing to them, and it's bad for you.

DP x DC: Animal House

Danny can apparently shapeshift, and that’s great!

or it would be great if it wasn’t for the fact he got stuck as an eldritch cat. On the plus side, he can talk to animals like this. Downside: He lacks thumbs and his powers seem to be on the fritz. 

Luckily, he got picked up by the Waynes who seem to think he is some kind of alien cat. It’s actually pretty cool. Lots of soft things and window spots to soak in some sunlight, and, hell, the homemade cat food actually tastes pretty good.

Plus he’s been making friends!

Alfred the cat and Titus are his favorites. Ace is cool but he’s more like an uncle figure. Batcow is chill, but Jerry the turkey is an asshole. Then Dick brings his dog Haley aka Bitewing, so Jason brings his dog Dog, and the whole batfamily of pets is there vibing with Danny.

Then a family emergency happens requiring all hands on deck. Everyone is out of the house and even Alfred is too busy in the Batcave keeping an eye on things to pay attention to the animals. So that can mean only one thing...

Party time!

Danny invites all the DC animals that I remember exists. Krypto the super Dog, Comet the Super Horse, Streaks the Super Cat, Beppo the Super Monkey, Rec the Wonder Dog, and of course Bobo T. Chimpanzee aka Detective chimp, the worlds greatest detective, and the alcoholic ape that’s going to supply the whole party with booze

That’s right, Danny is hosting an animal rager at the Wayne manor, and between his malfunctioning powers, the other super powered animals, and a lot of alcohol, things are going to get WEIRD

anduin was 17 when varian died, 17 when he went to the broken shore and found shalamayne. he was 17 when he started throwing away who he was and trying to become varian because that's who he thought the world needed.

now he's 25, only just realizing he's become who he was so terrified of becoming for his tween/teen life like oh my god... 8 years of frontal lobe development were dedicated to trying to be someone else. do you get it does anyone hear me

I’ve heard some criticisms of when this could’ve taken place and Damian having forgotten his pets. Something to understand is that the comic itself isn’t entirely blaming Damian. The narration is clearly speaking about the Bat Family as a whole. In the line, “They mean well, but their lives are complex,” it is talking about the Bat Family. Damian just happens to be the only one taking responsibility when his dad and family should’ve taken equally responsibility for letting Damian down.

It’s also clear this is an apology to the fans. When a comic apologizes to its fans for anything, it recognizes where the story went wrong. It only fails when it never did. So, let’s first ask the question: did any of the recent comics neglect to mention all the pets seen here? Yes. Even with their appearances lately, it’s often been Goliath during two separate occasions by Joshua Williamson.

The second thing to recognize is how these pets get into this situation. According to the comic, they were taken to a farm on the outskirts of Gotham. It clarifies that “Our people in Gotham rarely had time for us.” Again, the Bat Family (not Damian specifically), didn’t have time for them.

Next, it says that those at the farm spoke about scientific value before sending these pets to a bio-tech company. The people at the farm were likely those The Bat Family thought could be trusted. If we go by past continuity, we can likely assume the Bat Family that put the pets on that farm was likely Bruce or Dick. This is because during the events of Gotham War and Zurr Failsafe, the Vandal Savage buys off the Bat Cave and nothing is ever said about the pets. Even Batman leaves Jason alone after lobotomizing him.

Claiming this story is placing full blame on Damian is completely unfair and ignores any subtlety. It also ignores the terrible storylines that would have placed Damian in this situation. Damian would not have been able to care for his pets properly. The Bat Cave wasn’t there, he was being thrown between his father and brothers, his father was being possessed by Zurr-En-Arrh, Failsafe was making a mess of things and Damian had to depend on his family to do what he couldn’t at the moment. Is it fair to call it negligence just because that’s from his pets’ perspective or because Damian is the only one taking responsibility.

This storyline is creating a parallel to what happened with the pets and what’s been going on in DC. The name of the Bio-Tech, Morrison Bio-Tech, gives us a much deeper meaning to this apology. Just as the Bat Family have complex lives, so do the writers and artists at DC. We don’t know what goes on in DC and it’s easy to place the blame of bad writing to one writer instead of recognizing the whole DC company. If Damian represents the writer/artist and the people at the farm that sold his pets as DC heads, then this demonstrates that negligence over the DC story and characters aren’t often on the writers/artists alone.

I enjoyed this storyline personally. The only criticisms I’ve heard are the ones I’ve explained. Thankfully, it’s from a small minority, but still nitpicky to me.

We were friends. I used to go out every night and feed him. I didn’t wanna touch him. I was so strong, I could have hurt him. So, I practiced being gentle. And then, one day, I pet him. And he purred. And everything was okay. I felt like an alien on Earth for so long, and he helped me feel like a human.

Happy Halloween from the farmer boy!

(Tried finishing this during my lunch break at work cuz I’m working late today)

I'm sitting and looking at somebody's take about the scene of Willow Tail's death

"Clear Sky is fabulous here, and the deaths look karmic. Willow Tail dies blind bc she was so blinded by her wish of revenge she put innocent cats under threat and led to deaths of a medicine cat and an innocent kit. And Wind Runner, who prevented Moth Flight from saving Tiny Branch, lost a life to an injured leg just like he did. Beautiful."

Ig I'll just leave it here like a tribute

"the deaths look karmic" is the only correct thing in this passage. Yes, the writers ARE obsessed with punishing women, gruesomely zooming in on how much pain and suffering they're feeling when those horrible bitches finally get their comeuppance. Glad they can at least recognize torture porn when they see it.

Go one baby step further-- why do the writers keep choosing to frame the women as primarily responsible when Clear Sky is the same violent, egotistical tyrant he always was?

Willow Tail does die blinded-- by Clear Sky. The way he is constantly brutalizing every woman and foreigner in front of him. Just like how he was smacking Moth Flight before he ordered Red Claw to go up into the tree to beat the shit out of Micah and confiscate medicine, because he doesn't care when people die of treatable illness.

But, sure. Sure, it's Willow Tail who caused the death of Micah, when she sees Moth Flight's face sliced open by a known serial murderer and jumps to her defense, and then learns that Red Claw has been ordered to attack a doctor.

For those who haven't read Moth Flight's Vision, btw, Willow Tail is revealed to be the villain all along because she was planting rabbit bones on the border. This made Clear Sky mad because Wind Runner said "make your cats respect the borders YOU invented, bc MY cats didn't eat those rabbits" and she didn't just accept his answer of "nuh uh."

That's why it's totally the WOMEN'S fault that Clear Sky was throwing this tantrum, and not his own. Being offended is a totally valid reason to deny medical treatment and do assault and battery. Why would you ever hold a man in a position of power accountable for his own actions?

Wind Runner also didn't kill Tiny Branch through medical neglect. Clear Sky did. Can't believe I'm still saying this.

HE was the one who prevented Acorn Fur from getting help. He keeps insisting that he never needed Micah or any other foreigner to heal Tiny Branch's ailments. He didn't want Micah when it was a cough, and he didn't want Moth Flight when it was a fox attack.

-Said in the Sap Confiscation Scene

-Said as Tiny Branch is dying, confirming that yes, he DID stop her from getting the help right away.

Wind Runner PROPOSED an embargo at a meeting that SkyClan was absent for, AFTER Clear Sky had already insisted on denying medical treatment to Rocky and got Micah killed. Wind Runner's hypothetical embargo was broken less than a minute later when it's revealed SkyClan was late by several hours because Tiny Branch got attacked by a fox.

Here's how long they're held up by Wind Runner, though. All 214 words, less than a full page in dialogue, of it.

How long would you guess this took? Was everyone here speaking at 0.025 speed? Did someone hit the slow motion button? Were they escaping out of a time bubble?

Why's Shattered Ice never mentioned as killing Tiny Branch, btw? The one who actually did physically hold up Moth Flight (but not the other three Medicine cats, Dappled Pelt, Cloud Spots, and Pebble Heart), even if it was for less than 30 seconds? When he's not even from Wind Runner's Clan? CURIOUS INNIT?

I need to remind you that he was also responsible for preventing Acorn Fur from being fully trained. That was HIS choice. HE closed the border. HE stopped Moth Flight from completing Acorn Fur's training. HE is in the middle of a book-length hissy fit about being told what to do.

And, yet, Moth Flight is held up for less than 5 minutes after Clear Sky forced Acorn Fur to save his son alone until signs of infection set in, and this is all Wind Runner's fault.

So he later kidnaps Moth Flight, expecting Wind Runner to just trust that THIS time he takes a hostage he's not starving them like he did to Jackdaw's Cry, and not launch the two Clans into war. Redemption arc, btw.

And then he gets to be framed like a hero even though he is 100% responsible for every single one of his actions and escalated the situation at every turn. ZERO consequences for him, because him letting his own baby suffer and die was "punishment enough."

The bloodthirsty tyrant, child abuser, woman beater, and known liar was totally justified because It Made Him Sad When Wind Runner Didn't Trust His Word :( This was all actually an evil, scheming woman's fault for planting bunny bones, lol. So she totally deserves getting her eyes ripped out.

At MOST, the narrative considers Wind Runner and Clear Sky "Equally Bad", but only Wind Runner and Willow Tail get personally punished. With death and agony. Surely, SURELY this is not because of writer misogyny? In the Arc of 7 Fridgenings? Perish the thought.

Anyway, glad that I've curated my dash enough to not see that take out there in the wild. Who would even write something so ridiculous, Gray Wing?

Not sure if its only canon FNV chars for the requests, but if not, I’d love to see how Cicero would react to a kitten (because he gives me ‘big burly biker who brings their tiny kitten with a custom jacket around with them everywhere’ vibes- I’m not sure if that’s common elsewhere but well, it is here lol /pos)

The biker comment made me think you meant Nemo so I decided to draw both lmaooo.

Cicero would cry of Happiness, for sure and Nemo would be very, very fond of kittens. A rare moment where the two are relaxed and happy.

Also rare Nemo not wearing his bear pelt.
