The human torch getting two surprise visitors in the middle of the night!
I have a full mini comic of this which was inspired by @farshootergotme post about Dick Grayson's Robin being in the marvels universe
Their post got me thinking a lot about how adult Spider-Man would go through with helping Robin, like in the comics where Peter has definitely traveled through different universes before and also he connected to people that have also had access to the multiverse ( the fantastic four, dr strange, his clones, miles and so on).
And then I started thinking about interactions between Robin and the f4 or Robin and the other New York heroes/vigilante's and how that would be.
I also have several panels of Robin interacting with marvel heroes and I have no idea how to fit it in the story but I am determined to find a way for it

There's thunderous knocking on the door and it startles Eddie out of his sleep.
He needs a moment to readjust, but Robin isn't the type to give anyone even a second, so his brain catches something about a nut before it's quiet again. He blinks at the white ceiling above him.
"What."
"She said she's gonna grab some bread and doughnuts from the bakery," Steve murmurs next to him so he turns his head, suddenly remembering that he's in his friend's bed, and it's the day of their little party. 
He immediately snatches his gaze back up. 
"Why the fuck are you naked?!"
"Huh? Oh, sorry," Steve rolls in the sheets to cover up some of his body. He doesn't sound very sorry. "Must have shifted in my sleep."
Eddie eyes him with curiosity. 
"You weren't naked last time."
"Huh?" 
Steve lays on his side to listen to him, and with his bare chest and tousled hair, he looks way too relaxed for the circumstances. It is his bed, duh, but he's looking at Eddie all naked and sleepy and it feels... not wrong per se, but it makes his stomach churn in a new way. 
"When you slept over at the trailer, you had clothes."
"Oh," Steve frowns, trying to remember that day. "I guess I changed to use the bathroom and didn't bother turning back."
Eddie raises his eyebrows. 
"So you draw the line of doghood at peeing outside?"
"Don't call it doghood," Steve scrunches his nose in distaste. "I couldn't open the front door with my paws anyway. Otherwise, I do pee in Dinkleberg's garden quite often," he admits. 
"No way," Eddie grins at the information. "Do you shit outside too?"
Steve makes a face. 
"I did once. It felt too weird not being able to wipe, but his face was worth it."
Eddie bursts out laughing.
"You're so gross, man!" he says, pushing at Steve's shoulders so he loses his balance and falls against the pillows.
"You asked!"
"What if we—" a snort interrupts him and he falls forward, pressing his temple against his friend to find his bearings. "We can install a pet door for you? Wait, no, you're kinda big for that. If I wrap some rope against the handle, could you open it? I have a neighbor who really deserves some urine in his slippers."
Steve groans, pushing Eddie away.
"Well, who's being gross now?"
"I'm still not the one who shits in my neighbor's yard!" Eddie protests, but Steve is already leaving the bed with an indignant huff, and his body is suddenly on full display. "Dude!" he squawks, shielding his gaze from his friend's naked butt.
"Oh come on, we have the same parts!" Steve turns to him, but his dick moves along, making Eddie disappear under the covers.
"It's not about the parts, It's about human decency!" 
"Well, I'm not fully human, so..." Steve points out, but it does sound like he's opening his wardrobe. "And I walk around naked all the time."
Eddie thinks about it for a second. 
"Well, yeah, but then you're not—"
He cuts himself off. 
But then you're not attractive. 
"I'm not what?"
In his scramble for a comprehensive answer, Eddie escapes the confines of bed covers, hoping he'll provide more oxygen for his brain this way. But with his terrible timing, he emerges at the perfect moment to catch Steve's naked, bent-over ass just before it gets covered by a pair of boxers. 
Lord have mercy. 
"Not human," he finishes lamely, all coherent thoughts suddenly gone. 
Steve scoffs, turning around with his dick finally out of sight. 
"Yeah, I'm not," he agrees easily, way too easily, before grabbing a pair of jean shorts. "You can take whatever you want to wear," he motions to the open closet, already walking towards the door. 
"And for the record, I didn't shit in Dinkleberg's yard, I did it on his doormat," he adds before leaving the room, leaving Eddie to stare at where he disappeared. 
Tumblr media
Eddie's glad their mismatched group includes people who know the basics of barbequing and he doesn't have to get involved. There's also the card of "I helped with preparations so fuck off" that he can pull anytime anyone gives him the stink eye. This way, he can keep his distance and just observe. His scheming seems to be paying off and the seeds he planted in the little goblins and the dog-man himself, had taken root. 
Steve sits on the warmed ground while Robin's hand is in his hair, and El feeds him whatever she didn't like from her skewer. He's heard Dustin praise the burgers. Dustin. Everyone has been contributing to making Steve feel more appreciated, either with words, physical touch, or even small gestures, like Max bringing him an extra Coke from the cooler. 
So that was all great. But among his observing, Eddie notices some new things too. 
Like Steve's hairy chest. How his muscles move with each movement and how he absentmindedly rubs on his scars. The way the moles on his cheek jump when he smiles and his shorts fill out when he bends. 
Has it always been there?
Or more importantly, has Eddie always been interested in his friend?
He'd entertained the idea of fancying men ages ago but shoved it aside at the way easier, less problematic prospect of women, their tiny skirts, and the wild rocker chicks. So the gay thing isn't the scariest part, but rather the fact that he wasn't aware. 
Now he can't help but think that his whole 'helping a friend out' thing had ulterior motives behind it, conceived deep in his subconscience. Getting closer to Steve, spending time with him, touching him, oh god he's been touching him so much. He'd look at his hands in betrayal if he wasn't holding food. 
He takes a bite out of his hot dog but finds it cold and dry, which makes him wonder how long he's been people-watching instead of interacting with his friends like a normal human being. When he looks up again, he meets Steve's gaze and suddenly realizes he's making very unattractive open-mouthed movements with his jaw. Eddie clicks his mouth shut and forces himself to swallow, but thankfully, Steve seems to find it more amusing than disgusting. 
Not that it would matter if Steve found him unattractive and repulsive or anything.

Rewriting Teruteru Hanamura
Hey guys, today it's time for another rewrite post. That being about a certain chef.
That being Teruteru:
Tumblr media
Teruteru Hanamura is probably one of the most disliked Danganronpa characters. I personally do like him as a character and want to improve him, so this post is for that. Keep in mind that those are just my ideas, so you don't have to agree with me. Okay? Let's do this.
Personality:
I'll tone his perverted behavior heavily down. Unlike in canon, this guy is a true gentleman and while he is very perverted still, he only keeps it for fun flirting and teasing. He is in general very friendly and approachable and also has a caring side, towards those he likes.
He is open about his interests in kinks, but he doesn't talk about that, during eating and when he is in the kitchen. Because in his mind, eating is supposed to be enjoyable and fun, with dirty jokes "not fitting to the menu".
His accent change, when he gets mad, remains too.
Appearance:
Okay, here I won't change too much. I'll adjust his height a bit and make him a bit taller and more plumb. Another thing I wanna add is that his belt is full of cooking supplies, like spatulas and whatnot and his hat is a bit bigger, which also stores some cooked meals.
How do they all fit into his hat? No clue. I am legally obligated, to not say anything about it/j
Past:
Teruteru had a diner with his mom and came from a poor background. The diner itself struggled at times, because of its remote location and the fact that the meals themselves aren't as "Flashy", as the ones in the big restaurants. Due to this, most critics who visit the place bash it and leave negative reviews.
Teruteru helped out in the diner as a kid, either to clean or to serve food himself. But his home life wasn't that happy either, because his father left the family, after Teruteru witnessed him in his bedroom cheating on his mom with another woman. He was 13 at the time and this even taught him, to treat women the right way. Adding to the fact that his dad was kind of a dick to his mom, he tried to become a gentleman of sorts, to not become like his dad. Like in canon, he has a few brothers, but those left with his dad, because he married a rich old woman for money. Something Teruteru can't forgive them for.
His perverted behavior and consumption of pornographic content, was due to him trying to cope with the divorce, because he did love his dad deep down and hated how mom had to do more work, because he wasn't there. Thanks to that, he also began to realise that he is attracted to men and women, a fact that bothered him for a long time. Until his mom found out and taught him that he didn't need to feel ashamed of how he felt.
Because he helped a lot in his mom's diner, so they can stay afloat, he did miss out on school mostly and his grades ranged from mediocre to atrocious, because he was busy with said work. Making his mom more worried about the future. Which is why Teruteru began to practice cooking more, to make sure that the diner can stay afloat and to possibly get more customers.
Koichi Kizakura, the scout at the time, discovered Teruteru when he went to dine there, after a long hard day of work. He then offered him that if he were to join HPA, then they'd finance his mom's diner. Of course, Teruteru accepted and willingly joined them, to make sure to become a better cook and so mom doesn't have to worry about his future.
Other Facts:
-Teruteru can cook most meals really well, except for omelette. For some reason, he seems to be struggling with making those and he tries to avoid making them, whenever he can.
-While he is open for most kinks, he draws the line with non-consensual stuff.
-Apart from cooking, he does like fashion trends and keeps up with them at all times.
-He sometimes tries to slip from gym class and math class, so he can work on his cooking skills. Keyword being: "Tries".
-He can speak a bit of italian and french, which he picked up from some of the customers.
And that's it. I hope ya liked this post and please like and reblog, if you appreciated my ideas for our dear chef. Till next time!

Talent Swap
This one's pretty simple. Kinda wish I added more to Byakuya's design as he's literally a tie and some short sleaves away from having Hajime's outfit. But, his hair is in a ponytail so it's fine. Makoto on the other hand, yeah. It's obvious a put more effort into him. He looks like such a dapper boy! Also, Byakuya's still a dick here and Makoto's still a sweetheart. Dunno how all of this au works in it's entirety. Like, maybe Byakuya's still a Togami but he's just in a different field or maybe he got kicked out via losing the competition. Also, no clue how Makoto got his dough. But, they're cute and the more I look at Makoto, the more it looks like he's trying to flirt with Byakuya and the blonde is just not having it! Or who knows. Maybe that clover in Makoto's hair is Byakuya's and he want's it back from the small, wealthy one.
Tumblr media
Breath
I had multiple ideas on where to go with this one. Some were more angsty though some were a bit simple or goofy. Like, one was them after a work out. Would be another sweaty Makoto for the books. Though, I didn't wanna draw another sweaty Makoto at the same time since I drew one yesterday. He shall return though! Another idea I had was Makoto using his breath to draw on a cold window. I already drew a more complicated background yesterday as well so I didn't do that one. Also, I kinda forgot I had this idea and got too inspired by their breath's converging and making a cute heart. So, this one became reality! Also, for this one specifically, dunno if this is a sunset or a sunrise. Dunno the season either. This is all just vibes. Another thing to note is one, small detail I wanna mention. The bracelet Byakuya has on is the Everlasting bracelet.
Tumblr media
This little guy! It's description is this: "A handcrafted item made with needle and thread. They say that once you put it on, it will never come off again." Thought it was cute and Byakuya likes it. At least I am PRETTY sure he does. Even not, it's cute so the heir has that Lowkey-Friendship-Bracelet swagger now. I feel it adds a nice touch though! By the way, Makoto totally has his on too. It's just buried under his mitten and hoodie. Also, yeah. That is a mitten. Would have drawn his actual hand instead but I committed to the mitten too far in.
Tumblr media
Still unsure on how to structure this since I'm doing both prompts. Also, this one I tried adding some comentary for fun. I also like blabber a ton about stuff so there's that too. I dunno though. Might play around with this with the other prompts. As time progresses and I do more of these weeks of doing prompt stuff, I'll see what I liek most. Buuuut yeah! Really happy how these turned out! Is a little strange taking a day just to do two drawings, but I'm glad I'm letting myself, just for this week, take time to just render my favorite gays. Been a while since I've done something like this so it's nice. Ah. Tomorrow's going to be fun breaking their spirits >:]

hello friend i have a question. do you have any tips for writing Gina's dialogue?
ohohoho well yes as a matter of fact I do!
To be honest, I'd say that writing Gina wasn't insanely difficult for me simply because prior to playing TGAA, I already consistently read a lot of historical fiction, a fair amount of which was set in Edwardian/Victorian England. So even if the books didn't have characters with Cockney accents as primary characters, there was enough slang and atmosphere and factoids that I absorbed that made it easy for me to write in Gina's voice.
So, that being said, my biggest tip is to read/watch more historical fiction set in the same time frame of TGAA and do so as a writer and not a reader/viewer. Openly set out to absorb the different mannerisms and speaking patterns of the working class characters vs the nobles.
The Sixth Victim by Tessa Harris (Jack the Ripper-centric what-if; there are 2 books following it that make up a trilogy but I didn't care for them as much as the first book, although they're still beneficial in terms of picking up slang/style/patterns) and the Below Stairs series by Jennifer Ashley (I've read the first two books; the second book even introduces a very Gina-like character named Tess) are some books that helped me a lot when I was writing my Gina POV fics (Hale and Hearty, the monster that is Truth or Dairy, and House Rules).
If you're more of an auditory person, this sounds silly but movies with Cockney-speaking characters go a long way in really getting the accent to sink in. I know they're considered caricatures, but Bert in Mary Poppins (Dick van Dyke) and Eliza in My Fair Lady (Audrey Hepburn) are both characters I could clearly draw up in my mind and "hear" as I wrote Gina, too. It helped me a lot with consistency. Both movies ^ are fairly long though, but you could probably look up clips of the songs or various scenes to get an idea.
I would also add that, although a Cockney accent is often lent to more comedic roles (Skulkins), when I wrote Gina, I didn't write in her POV to try and be "funny" or silly with the slang, even though she has some very amusing lines and trains of thoughts in my fics. For her, it's very normal everyday dialogue, not things she's saying to get a zinger in.
As for Gina herself, her characterization, I feel doesn't necessarily say what she truly feels, only what she feels in that immediate moment. (In Truth or Dairy, even, after she says something that offends Ashley, she says that's not what she really meant, and he responds by saying that seems to be a tendency with people from her background, saying things they then claim they don't really mean.) I don't want to say she's emotionally immature, exactly, just that she hasn't ever really been respected or given the opportunity to be honest since she's looked down on (as of the first game), but Ryuu and Susato, Iris and Sholmes finally give her that chance so as of the second game, we see her start to be less defensive and confrontational. So, I think post-TGAA2, she wouldn't be as "tsundere", and somewhat more open/accepting of friendship/connections, and that would carry over into her being less thoughtless with her words - even if those words still are mostly Cockney-accented, lol.
Thanks for the ask, I hope this helps!

A Meandering Ramble on AI Art Because I Have a Cold and I'm here to Hopefully Not Start an Argument.
Okay, so I had someone comment on some post I made about writing advice that causes shame, and they decided to add the clarification that my words didn't apply to people who use AI in their writing. I responded, mainly saying that I saw their point, but that I'd say shaming someone who uses AI in any fashion is far more likely to just get that person to double down. They seemed annoyed by me saying this for a variety of reasons. I blocked them because if someone says "it's not my job to educate" it's rarely an earned perspective and it only reminds me how it's not my job to have a conversation with them.
It is my job to make too-long essays about things to help me process thoughts in a way other people might find interesting. So for your consideration I have a sort of wandering, cough-syrup addled Think Piece about AI art that is not pro-GenAI, but also doesn't just say fuck AI and fuck anyone who uses it because that is also wrong. I have a ton of links that I'm hoping are right, as well as a ton of outsider/folk artists, as well as a few AI artists I think are great.
Also there's a drawing of Link I did. He's nude. There's no dick but it's still very bad. He's either about to eat trash off the ground or he's screaming at a bit of hot dog.
Enjoy???
I mean I get it. I'm also easily aggravated by the type of person who is staunchly, aggressively defensive over Generative AI tools. They might be the kind to talk about the "democratization of art" and how genAI means anyone can be an artist. This line of thinking makes me very angry - not because I don't think anyone can be an artist, but because the fact that so many have been sold on needing some Big Tech start up to make that happen is infuriating. Anyone can already be an artist.
Anyone can be an artist. Anyone. Anyone can be an artist! This has been a case for a long, long time.
I get the sort of novelty of image and text generators. I'll go ahead and say what other writers might be unwilling to admit - if there was a provably ethical LLM I would absolutely love to collaborate on it for a project. The ethics of a lot of genAI is debatable - truly coasting on legal gray areas and hidden opt-out buttons - but it's enough that I'm not into it. Even without the practices of OpenAI, a company where every headline I see around it makes them sound comically sketchy. A lot of the reasons why I wouldn't collaborate with an LLM as they are now are the same things that would keep me from collaborating with another human writer (Maybe stealing, almost certainly wrong about potentially important things, loved by Elon Musk, ect.).
But I don't see myself ever using a genAI to do the entirety of any of the writing process for me - because I enjoy writing. I've been doing it for a long time now. I am objectively skilled enough that a select populous of people are willing to pay me for it on purpose, and since I find it fun and fulfilling I have yet to found a form of even minor automation that appeals to me.
But I also draw and paint, and I am far less skilled at that than I am at writing. I could certainly tweak at various Midjourney prompts to create something visually cool, but if I did that I'd be robbing myself the joy that came from trying to draw Link from Legend of Zelda from memory (he's either eating trash or lamenting his fallen lunch, I can't decide).
Tumblr media
My wife saw this and their first note was that he "looks like the Grinch". Their second note was that his ass should be bigger. They also drew the fart cloud. Collaboration. This was the hardest I've laughed all day.
If you're a person who uses AI to help in art, or to do the entirety of image/writing/music creation - at this point you have to know the arguments against it. GenAI uses energy for each output - more for images than text, probably even more for videos. But so do tons of other things.
I did my best to research and calculate, and it seems like every 100 outputs of genAI images uses roughly .29 kWh, which is the rough equivalent of three hours of streaming video, running a Dyson vacuum cleaner for an hour, or using an average microwave for 10 minutes straight. It also uses water to cool the servers, right? A lot of water during a time of looming water scarcity across the globe. It's pretty likely that the water is being reused through a closed-loop system, meaning the 16 ounces that are spent for every 5-50 queries on ChatGPT aren't likely to go to waste. But with the exponential spike of data centers being built - some in parts of the country that require far more water to stay cool - that's still a pretty big water footprint. It does good, useful things for society and it's also used for crimes. This is true for most technology. But it seems, from what I've seen, that the parts of AI that are the most accessible to the public at large (GenAI mainly, run by a select major companies) are the ones most likely to be used for questionable purposes right around now.
But in all honesty I don't imagine a majority of people using genAI are using it for crime, or even deepfaked nudes. It's happening, but I imagine that's a loud minority. I don't even think most people using it to tout about being artists. I imagine most people just find it novel, or an accessible way to get into a craft that otherwise feels unavailable for them for whatever reason.
For a lot of people with no experience in forming any sort of creative practice, the concept of a machine that can fairly effectively mimic the styles of existing artists without their consent might come across as inconsequential. It might even get harder to find that understanding as you get deeper and deeper in the practice of genAI art - which, as far as I understand it, removes the creator entirely from developing an individual style.
When I say style in this point, I don't mean a completely original perspective free of any outside influence. I mean a combination of background, influence, and medium used that allows someone to recognize you in your work without you needing to say you made it. I know my writing is not entirely original. I can happily list what I've been influenced by. At the same time, I've heard a lot that people can tell my writing just on paper without my name attached at all. I believe there are ways to train a genAI to create an effect similar to this, but I'm also certain that it would require a technological influence that most people using the main programs out there don't have.
Because there's good AI Art. I'm not afraid to say it. There's AI art that I find super interesting and would pay money to see. Anna Ridler created a piece called "Mosaic Virus" that uses machine learning to generate a morphing video of tulips blooming that changes based on the market value of bitcoin. She created her own dataset. This rules and I love it. 1 the Road is an AI-written novel composed across a massive real-world road-trip by Ross Goodwin, a creative technologist. I won't call him a novelist - but neither would he. He did strap a surveillance camera on the car he drove, rigged it with a microphone and GPS, and put a shit ton of effort into something I will say sounds abstract and pretty rad.
The AI artists I think that don't really struggle to sell and exhibit and overall collect accolades for their work, from what I've seen, tend to be people who put a ton of effort into the structure of the AI itself. The artists who create from existing programs are limited by what that program is trained off of, unless they alter or edit their work after the fact.
And I know people who do the latter. My own view on how valid of a choice that is depends on the intent of the work, the meaning behind having the foundation be generated, and how you choose to credit it once it's done. In a lot of cases I just sort of tend to wonder why people think they need the machine to start at all.
I get it's hard to start making an individual piece. It's even harder to start making art at all, especially if you were taught to think somehow that you aren't a "naturally creative person". If that's you then I'm sorry, because that means you somehow internalized a pretty terrible lie.
We're a creative species. Just because it doesn't fit within the deeply narrow spectrum of Marketable, Blockbuster, Bestseller Creativity, doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile.
You can only draw stick figures? Great maybe you should give one of them a hat and then he'll be a Hat Guy. You can't even draw a straight line? Sick, sounds like these are going to be some Wiggly Stick Figures and at least one of them will have a hat. That rules.
You don't know what to write? What if a guy bought a new hat? What if the hat was cursed? What if the guy was Naruto? I don't know man I've taken a lot of cough syrup today and most of my suggestions are hat-based, I'm finding.
People might give you shit. They might give "constructive criticism" - a phrase I learned quickly that people online use very loosely. And that can be scary and discouraging. I'm not going to try and say you should do it anyway because it's the Ethically Right thing to do because I have seen the way some people treat newer artists and it made me so fucking grateful I didn't share really anything I did online until I was pretty settled in my own personal vibe.
But if you use genAI because you think it does something you can't otherwise do - you can do things too. And it might be worth trying sometimes, even if you never share it. You might think it's bad - but if you don't treat that like a failure of your character it doesn't feel as important.
Might I offer as example - my son, Fart Ass Trash Link?
Tumblr media
My child. My legacy. My wife insisted that sometimes Link would go fully nude. I understand now that they were fucking with me.

Saw the post about sending you a dirty thought about your bias, here's mine
Yangyang and you being best friends since being pre-teens, occasionally you two kiss each other, just for fun, when something special happened or just when you feel like it, that's usually where you draw the line tho.
One time when there's another "special occasion" he asks if he can kiss you. Eventually it turns into a make out session with you on his lap, you both getting more horny with each second that passes. Then one of you goes "we've crossed the line anyway now, how about we do it in style" and you two end up fucking each other throughout the whole night, eventually wondering why you've never thought about doing this before.
I didn't plan on making it this detailed- hope you enjoyed that
i enjoyed it anon hahaha, mmhm just gonna add some spicy and detailed ss on your thought. hope you liked it!🌨️
yangyang can't resist the feeling of his burning body when he saw you, so he didn't hesitate to ask you if he can kiss you again, you agreed because you feel the same way too. the hot steamy make out session leds you both to the edge of horniness on every kiss, every grind of each others clothed core, both of you are aware of what you two doing and it seems like making out can't satisfy you both. "we've already crossed the boundaries yangyang, let's fuck now please. i'm so needy for you". yangyang take off his clothes also you, he positioned himself between your thighs and you spread wide open your legs to give him the sight of your wet dripping pussy, he slowly put his hardening cock in your pussy, slowly thrusting his length and your body jolts in pleasure "oh yangyang, that feels so food" cried out in pleasure, eyes staring at him looking fucked out already. "whats stopping us fucking back then, you literally feels amazing y/n. can't get enough of you". he groan, every thrust he hits the sweet spot deep inside you and your eyes rolled back and can't comprehend on what you want to say, you just keep moaning in feeling. "fuck you y/n, your pussy is finding a dick to be buried in your aching pussy right? and it's only my dick you've been looking for oh god". you nodded even you comprehending his words. the whole night yangyang and you spend fucking and can't get enough of your bodies.

Your addition to the monster post is... So nice. You seem like you're incredibly passionate and fierce and loving and using your sona as an example of a 'monster' is really, really strong. Thank you!
also. can I see the bug please. I would very much like to see the sexy legged beast if that's okay please
Thank you very much! I have an incredibly strong connection to my sonas and being a furry in general! My entire queer identity as a person would have been completely different if I didn't manage to find the fandom (if it would have even existed at all). My fursona is even the origin of my irl name, I just used her name to try stuff out, and it really stuck!
And yeah, I really vibe with the monster interpertation of my sona. I really wanted to write more in that post but I didn't have the time or words when I wrote that, and didn't feel like it would add much to the post to go even more in detail about that, it would be a repitition of what they already said
But this is a new post so I can say what I want here
As someone who's autistic and trans, and had major hearing issues when I was younger (I'm fine now, but when I was younger I once lost aroud 90% of my hearing), I was never the type to fit in. I only have ever felt like I fit in in places that are queer and/or neurodivergent (like furry spaces are). I am too familiar with being shunned by average people. Furries really are the best
One specific part about the monster example that really hits in the feels is the fact that I really was seen as scary at school. Because I was autistic, I had autistic meltdowns. And mine manifested in the way of anger issues. I was lost and confused of all the unspoken rules, and that caused me to lash out at the bullies. This was first a reason to bully me more, but when I got older, this got a bit scary. I was genuienly seen like a monster. A monster to try to agitate a little bit to get a ruse, because she was chained to a cage of rules. But the same bars that enchaged her, protected her bullies from being punished for their deeds.
That is why although my sona may seem fierce, she really is a sweetheart, almost motherly (Centipedes in nature are known to be very caring mothers!) Despite being seen as a monster, she is still kind to all. But if you wrong her, or even worse, a fellow monster, she won't hestitate to bite. She is only fierce as a defense mechanism. She does not want to be fierce. She wants to care. But she keeps on being fierce anyway. She had no other choice.
I want to say that I'm currently in the proces of changing into this sona, as my sona was a dragon for a long time. And the more I think about it, she is kinda the person I want to be rather than the person I am right now. And that's completely ok! She is still very close to me, as she is the origin of my irl name. I (still) need something to strive for, and she is the perfect way to do so. Especially when I was a younger queer, unsure of what I wanted out of my body.
To be loved is to be changed. And I am currently loving myself, and my sona.
It's only natrual that she will change a bit. However, she will always be the same creature in my head. After all, I am my sona, and I am all my previous iterations of yesterday -why couldn't she be as herself as well as all of her previous iterations as well?
And while I'd absolutely love to show you the sexy legged beast, the nature of this sona being fairly new means I haven't gotten the time to draw her very much yet, and the one real fullbody of her is nsfw and idk if I can show her because of tumblr rules, but here is a cropped version, and a emote of her being embaressed. (and you can dm for the full! I am not scared to show my full, beautiful body!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It kinda really sucks that I can't show the full here. A HUGE part of this sona is about the fact that she isn't a particularly girly girl, and that she has a big dick instead of a pussy. But she is still a girl! She might be embarrased about people wanting her, but that's because she is inexperienced! (They are 18+, don't worry) She is confident in her body and showing all of it of, because she knows that there will always be people that will be disgusted by her. But the love she receives by others makes it all worth it.
Honestly I could write a full article on how fursonas and gender (and queer identities in general) are linked. I don't think it's a coincidence that around 1 in 4 to 1 in 3 of every furry is not cisgender. (Less clear source, scroll down for the latest update: https://furscience.com/research-findings/demographics/1-3-sex-and-gender/) Heck, my very first fursona from when I was extremely new to the fandom was a girl- I had no clue back then that I was transgender. All I knew is that it felt right.
Lastly I want to say, despite really vibing with the monster theme, and it really applying to me and my sona, a big part of it (and what I mostly wanna draw with my sona) is trying to accept that we aren't really monsters. We are othered by society, but we are not bad monsters. We are lovely creatures, trying to love our lives like everyone else. We have all sorts of positive traits! I may have trouble understanding everyone, and yes, I am quick to anger. But you know what I also am? Like you said, I AM passionate, loving, and fierce. I am also intelligent, and have great marks in college, and am creative. And most of all, I want everyone in the world to trive to the point where it eats me up inside thinking about the evils in this world. Is that a trait you would say a monster would have?
And again, thank you, I got a couple of asks asking to see my sona because they sounded cool, and it's people like you that make the online world amazing to be in, stay yourself, and love yourself for who you are

Dear Door: I'll Need My Eyes Cleansed
I want to start by saying I have never seen that many dicks before in my entire life. I am in a state of shock. Yes, I'm an adult.
Tumblr media
I've found myself getting into boys love manhwa and it's been good so far. I chanced upon Dear Door by Pluto and what caught my eye was the suggestive cover and Cain's brown skin, so of course I was going to read it.
Tumblr media
After 152 chapters (I'm taking a break from the dicks) I am confident that this was PWP, porn with plot. A good plot. I sacrificed sleep a couple times to find out what was at the end of each twist and turn.
At first I'd halted my reading to continue with Painter of the Night because for the first few chapters the story seemed chopped in some places; like when Kyunjoon would say he's feeling pain, we wouldn't know why but it would be alluded to that something had happened. I kept wondering if I'd skipped a panel or something.
A Tiktok I saw of Cain and Kyunjoon's babies drew me back to the story. They were very cute. It motivated me to continue and once I got into it, I couldn't stop. Painter of the Night got forgotten, my personal project got forgotten, my sleep became an afterthought. At work, what got me through the day was remembering Cain and Kyunjoon were waiting for me.
I enjoyed their relationship, even when other couples were introduced I didn't feel an urge to jump ship. They had an opposites attract thing going on where they complemented each other, they communicated their feelings(mostly), they enjoyed each other's company, Cain teasing Kyunjoon was adorable and Cain is 101% dedicated to Kyunjoon and so was Kyunjoon... It was just cute.
Dear Door had that thing I like where when the demon starts to fall in love, his heart starts to feel funny and he's confused at what his body is doing.
Tumblr media
The plot of demons using humans as doors to hell meant we got an unhealthy number of sex scenes, with no lightsabers. Pluto did not censor anything and even magnified the sex scenes, such that we'd get multiple close ups from like different angles going on and on for almost half the chapter. The first time I saw it, the uncensored parts, I thought my sleep depraved self was imagining things. It had started out pretty mild and then everything was in my face, multiple times. Whew.
Let's just say the characters got into some kinky stuff along the way, Azaniel, bless him, was very curious and unashamed about it.
The true strength of this story was the fast pace, I never got bored, and how the characters were written and the dynamics between them. Sid was an interesting character, his yearning for love was truly pitiful. Understanding why Cain was playful and nice for a demon Lord was satisfying. Aaron's story was melodramatic. But, Satan could have been more diabolical, more scary... Just more.
Jinyoung was a victim. He truly suffered, I kept wondering how he's not the main character with how much he was suffering. It was sad, but he got a satisfying ending.
Something I can't let go of, is what the hell happened to Kyunjoon being a police officer? Did he quit? Was he fired? What happened there?
The beautiful art distracted me from any gaping holes in the story. The characters were beautifully designed and the colours were stunning. My favourite character design was Cain, in human and full demon form, then Ben in his mutt form then Aaron, I love his scars. Satan gets an honourable mention because of the red eyes.
And of course the babies. Look!
Tumblr media
And here is Cain. The floppy ears are so cute and I didn't expect I'd come to like the fangs but I am obsessed. Also, his blonde eyelashes... Uwu. I think I want to see more interspecies and how different artists portray them.
Tumblr media
And then some drawings just made me laugh. Oh that's the other thing, I had a few laugh out loud moments and that's always a win.
Tumblr media
Even the smut was masterfully drawn. I'll be honest and add the size difference between Cain and Kyunjoon threw me off a bit. I once saw on Reddit that bls tend to do this, however experiencing it with your own two eyes is something else. I want to know what inspired this.
In the end, I had fun. Though I'm kinda worried I won't find something else with beautiful illustrations + cute couple + action packed.
I'm thinking On a Leash next, I heard it's toxic so of course you'll find me at the scene of the crime.

Tumblr media
you can just taste the salt pouring from this man lmao. I only dismissed an entire medium as never being able to be art, why are you all whining
Tumblr media
1.) Myst released in 1993, the same year as Sonic CD. Calling it an example of games "from the infancy of the form" following the video game market crash of the '80s is laughable
2.) "I particularly didn't want to play one right now, this moment, on demand" - uwu I just shittalked this entire-ass medium and now people are saying I should try to know what I'm talking about before I talk about it and I don't wannaaaaa
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is just. Rude? Idk how else to put it. Your friend goes to the trouble of offering to fetch a game and a console for you, installing everything necessary to set it up - even offering to send the console back to Sony when you're done so you don't have to spend a single dime - and your response is to make some excuse as to why you can't do it.
You could have just said "no," Roger.
Tumblr media
yeah it's almost like talking out of your ass "purely on theoretical grounds" without engaging with the thing you're slagging off makes you seem too ignorant to hold a valid view on the thing you're slagging off. or something.
also "This is the gratitude you get for responding to comments at all" lol these salt levels could dry out the Dead Sea
Tumblr media Tumblr media
my man has never heard of video games with linear narratives before
Tumblr media
Billy cracked dick jokes, Ebert. Billy wrote his plays to appeal to the common people's interests, Ebert.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
then why are you talking about video games if you don't want to be told to play one? real "I'm a Sonic fan who hasn't played the games, stop telling me to play the games you're picking on me" energy
Tumblr media
The fuck is up with this weird capitalistic pitting of one art form against another? This isn't some zero-sum game where literature loses if video games win. Gamers read too, Ebert. In fact, many games take inspiration from literature, such as SH2 drawing inspiration from the themes of Crime and Punishment; The Witcher being based on Andrzej Sapkowski's book; and Metro 2033 springing from the self-published book of the same name.
I could name more. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream (Harlan Ellison even voiced AM!). Classic RPG Parasite Eve is a spiritual successor to Hideaki Sena's 1995 sci-fi horror novel. Beev will probably want me to add Castlevania as an example as well, taking the titular character from Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Category:Video games based on novels - Wikipedia
Acting like games and literature are two disparate mediums with no overlap is... frankly, deeply disingenuous. You spoke with fucking Clive Barker, Roger, you should know this. FFS.
Besides, anti-intellectualism runs a lot deeper than New Medium Bad. It has more fascist roots than simply "The kids want to play Fortnite all day and don't want to crack open a book!"
Tumblr media
Roger goes on this tangent about how it's difficult to find a definition of art that would preclude video games. Even the one he settles on, his view that art ought to teach him empathy for other people - which... has its limits and when taken too far, borders on requiring moral didactism in art; my man has never heard of art for art's sake - doesn't necessarily rule out games. Because video games literally require you to step into the player character's shoes.
Tumblr media
you are such a condescending ass, oh my God. could you not?
"I don't personally know how gamers can learn about other human beings despite the entire conceit of the medium requiring you to assume the role of another person, but whatever, I'll give you guys this one because I've run out of things to say. Perhaps one day gamers will learn to have refined tastes like me, the Movie Review Man. anyway y'all losers, I got better things to do despite the fact that I typed out this wall of text poorly defending my position"

hi! sorry if you don't know the answer, you're an active spardacest artist so i thought you might know. is there any specific reason many artists (especially asian i think) draw vergil with a pussy? not dante, not nero, but vergil
Hello! Honestly, I don't know how to answer this question besides... the vibes I guess lol? I'm very active in several spardacest discord communities and have been since the start of 2021, and I can tell you that as far as people hc'ing them to have a pussy or hybrid genitals, the overall trend seems to be "if one of them has it, then they all do" - with a slight focus on whichever boy is that person's favorite. I think there's just a very strong influx of people specifically drawing Vergil with it, whereas you'll find most of the Dante/Nero pussy content in writing and general speculation/scenario playing in discord servers. As to why people want it at all - honestly, I think it's just that dmc as a whole tends to resonate a lot with many non-cis people who like to equate the "demon" thing as almost an allegory to themselves. I know dmc was THE fandom that helped me get over my own bottom dysphoria (and now I actively prefer when at least one of the characters has a pussy when I couldn't stand it at all before lol), mostly because before it felt like there was a black and white choice between - either full on escapism (everyone has a dick, therefore I don't have to think about my own feelings about my own genitals that bring me grief) or making the characters trans (which works great for some people who feel like they need the relatability/representation! but for me it just felt too close to home and reminded me of things I didn't want to think about in the safety of my fictional mindscape.), whereas with dmc a lot of the common attitude seems to be "who cares? They're demons, they can be trans if you want but they can also have a pussy just because, there doesn't have to be any deeper reason for it" and that attitude really helped me, because the possibility to have it without any baggage helped me dip my toes in to the point it doesn't strike that chord of raw primal grief in me anymore - and in being ok with it in fiction, helped me be more ok with my lot in real life too. Now, of course that's just my reason, and not everyone has to have an in depth serious reason for liking it! some people just like it when their fictional blorbo has a pussy, lol. As for why Vergil specifically - like I said, it feels like in the end, it truly is a lot more evenly split than what the art you see might suggest, but Vergil does have a certain intrinsic something to him that just reads... womb-like, I guess, to me and many other people. That's not to say he necessarily reads as feminine - I think all the spardas have their own masculine/feminine attributes and they're all pretty neat for being, at the core of it, masculine men with softer edges that you would not usually see portrayed in popular media - more that I think there's something in his sharpness, in his specific brand of anger, (not to mention all the symbolism he coats himself in) that feels very pointedly afab, I guess if I had to intellectualise it. Also it's just very emotionally poignant to me specifically to imagine him being the birthing parent to Nero, because of all the emotional baggage and turmoil that would add to their relationship/imply about the situation.
Sorry if this doesn't exactly answer your question, and for all the waffling about gender! I just think the spardas are very neat and I love to think about their pussies (for all of them)

Her sisters arrive one after the other, she can't tell if it's a fast process or a slow one. At one point she was here alone, emptiness and cold, only sharp claws made of her own claws and the pain that was going away too quickly, the blood stopped being bright smoothly and her only entertainment was watching it. Bird was the first, so fierce and sweet, all pale skin and disheveled black hair, her reddened face was the sweetest and roundest she had ever seen. Despite a slight fright, Bird accepted her quickly, she compared their hair, skin tone, claws that came out of their skin between their thin fingers, "Mine" was said hoarsely and intermittently, most likely it was the first articulate thing she brought said.
She hugged her, all softness and warmth, and decided that no matter what, the bird would remain her most beloved. Lille was the second, quiet and very smart, with books and beds for them, paper and something bright in color made of tiny thin wood: "reading and drawing in the quality of daily leisure at their age range is enough." They were reading. And they painted. Something they remembered from memories that didn't seem to belong to them. And they didn't understand how they knew the letters, because no one had ever taught them - there was only green liquid and this room. Damian was the only boy, his skin was golden brown in contrast to their whiteness, and his sparse hair was the color of the meat cutlets they were given for lunch. And it's tiny. Very very Tiny. Defenseless. Couldn't stand, couldn't sit, could only lie down and sometimes cry. Baby.
She held him, a tiny lump of a bunch of tiny tissues and soft limbs, hugging him to her and instinctively made quiet soothing sounds strange to herself. But Damian liked it. Then there were loud strange noises, a lot of red that slowly faded and she was no longer interested. And the one who called himself the father. The one who said that he can only give them freedom. Someone who is not good but can find someone good. He had black hair and eyes like all of them, and his skin reminded her of Damian, she felt him as close as her sisters, she believed him and took his hand. Her sisters did the same, Damian was gently tied to him with a long cloth. He was a father and she regretted that she and her sisters, too tiny Damian, would lose him very soon. Her father gave her a name, a beautiful name that was the best sound in the world and which her father pronounced with such strange deep feelings - Itsuko.
AU in which the Batboys, except Damian, he is still a boy, these are girls, Akihiro's genetic children who were born as part of the Weapon X restoration project sponsored by Lex Luthor. Akihiro rescues them and is about to give them into the care of Batman. Akihiro calls the eldest (Fem!Dick) in honor of his mother and adds the ending "Ko", which means child in Japanese, thereby saying: "you are my child and I love you."
Motherfucking yesss to all of this!
Tumblr media
I want to know more. MORE I SAY!
Lex starting up a new Weapon X program with using Akihiro's DNA instead? Aki giving the batkids to Bruce? Are the Bat kids also Bruce's kids? Is that why? What is happening? Where is my many many chapters of plot? You must continue this! I need to knowwww
Fuck do the kids inherit the Wolverine Gene? Are we looking at the Sisters situation where only one is a mutant? Akihiro named them and then he LEAVES THEM? Why? You must tell me!
I must see more of this. If you post up this story on AO3 I demand you tag me so I can read this brain genius you have made

So starting this with the obligatory "I don't support using AI generators to emulate an existing artist's style and really wish there were ways to work with willing artists to make an ethical source to train these, because as a tool to be used by an artist it could be interesting", just to get it out of the way. I get that people being dicks and emulating existing art to avoid paying artists is shitty af.
I decided out of curiosity to see if I could get Mage.Space to emulate the way I currently draw: a thick-lined, cartoony style that I at least think looks pretty solid. This site has a feature where you can add an image you have to your prompt to lead it in a certain direction (again, I know people use this for shitty purposes. See my above statement)
I used this sprite of Curt that I'm using for a remake of a game I put on Itch.io:
Tumblr media
He looks pretty cute, right? My style has its flaws, but I think it looks good. I'm proud of this sprite.
I uploaded this with the prompt "a cartoon of a cute blue man with fishlike features". These are the awful, awful results.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Again, it had my EXACT sprite for reference. I even specified that I wanted the image to be cute!! Half of these didn't even try the "fishlike features" part of the prompt, and the one that did made his ears into fish??? They're all so bad I don't even know where to start...
I also have a basic subscription to Adobe Firefly, so I tried there with the same image:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok what the hell. Half of these are JUST FISH. And the half that are human have wobbly lines and amateur proportions that feel like Adobe is saying something personal about what it thinks of my art style. I apparently can't draw well enough for Adobe to see my art as anything above a middle school How To Draw Anime For Beginners book.
Is it weird if I say that this is kind of a blow to my self esteem about my art? It's not even good enough for AI Generators to copy it with an EXACT IMAGE TO WORK ON. I know that there's a lot of artists that have trouble with people emulating their art on here, but I was trying to make my own stuff! I DREW that sprite of Curt! And AI Generators responded with "huh this looks like absolute dogshit, guess that's what you want"

I agree with so many of these points! Honestly I've had these same gripes myself! I do like damien but I agree he's got issues from a writing perspective.
though I will say. Some of these things happened because of bad adaptation bullshit choices! Comic writers forgetting multiple important things! I read Damien's orginal orgin comics/ the Grant Morision run. And it still had a very found family vibe.
Because a lot of fans ignore this but Batman couldn't handle Damien. They fought all the time it was a mess it was heavily hinited that Damien being the product of Bruce's rape didn't help matters.
So Batman nearly dies/ fakes his own death for a while. And Dick and Alfred end up co parenting. With Damien as the Robin to Dick's Batman. And Damien starts out saying Dick isn't family/ isn't blood and has no influence on him.
Only for Damien to end up embracing Alfred and Dick as family outside of blood ties by the end. There's even an issue with Damien questioning if he's evil because him and Dick end up fighting a bad guy who is murdering the family members of criminals due to this mindset. At about the same time Damien realizes out Talia's love is disturbingly conditional.
Where Alfred tells him its ok for damien to define himself outside of both Talia and Batman! The entire run emphasizes blood does not matter!
I don't care what anyone says Dick Greyson is Damien's dad along with Alfred. They made him the boy he was today. Batman didn't do shit!
Yes! Damien works as Dick's Robin he does not work as Batman's Robin. Damien works best when is with either Jason or Dick. But so many writers force this obnoxious blood purity father, son duo.
In my unpopular opinion Batman works best when you don't draw too much attention to him as a father. Because at least in the things i've read/ seen. I think batman is frankly terrible as a parent. Even some of Dick's issues can be tranced back to the fact Bruce is emotionally stunted. After Jason there was no coming back from that.
I do wish they'd do more with cassandra in general she seems cool as a character. The girls do get sidelined in the batfamily for males. I wonder why (sarcasm). It is true though that dc doesn't seem to know what to do with Tim.
"And I'm sorry I don't care how skilled you are as a child assassin, you are still a child. Like in the Animated movies he should not be able to beat Deathstroke in a straight 1 to 1 fight."
Its annoying because Damien got his ass kicked/ kidnapped in his introduction comic run! Damien would get over confident and get his ass handed to him. The Grant Morison run did a good balance of having Damien as skilled but also showing he still had a lot to learn. Also the author knew audiences needed to see Damien humbled every once in a while.
Dc animated Damien is way too good and its freaking obnoxious. Yes Slade should be able to take him out!!!!!! I also hate the storyline where abuse victum's become perfect powerhouses due to abuse. Its not how that works!
"Fifthly. For Damian's character arc to really work/make sense ot has to be acknowledged that Talia is not a good mother."
Ugh! Talia needs to be treated as an abuser period! Once again orgin run made that abundantly clear. I honestly think the run for all its criticisms does handle talia as an abuser well.
They even do a passible job with the subtext that Damien is the product of Bruce's rape. Batman is visiblly uncomfortable around her. He looks almost painted whenever talia's obsesstion with him is brought up.
But then dc animated is like nope lol! men don't get raped and Bruce is just so hot for her and eww! I do feel bad for Talia fans but if the writers want Damien around. Talia's rape of Bruce will always be the elephant in the room. She roofied him!
Though I will add my own gripes why is Jason made so evil in Damien's orgin comic. I know he was in his villian era but trying to kill Dick was WTF! it was like the writers needed a shadow damien or something and slotted Jason into the roll.
Asking out of curiosity, but why do ya dislike Damian Wayne? I ask this not in a acussitory manner mind, as my only exposure to Damian is in non comics material such as those animated movies he popped up in. More so curiosity cause he seems to be a very controversial character among the main comics fandom itself.
He is controversial. There are a few reasons, some I could change my mind on with better writing and others would take a lot more for me to get behind him. I'll start by saying if you're reading this and are a Damian fan don't continue, you aren't gonna like what I have to say so don't both hate reading for the sake of it.
Firstly the concept of the Bat Family for the most part up until that point was about Found Family. Let me be clear I'm not saying it was sunshine and rainbows and they all got along great all the time BUT it was about broken people finding each other and trying to work together to make a difference. The very concept of giving Bruce a blood son ruins that, you need only look at most Damian fans when the debate on who should be Bruce's successor comes up, they will always say Damian despite the fact he has shown NOTHING to prove he deserves it, their only reason is he's the blood son. While yes being both biological and adopted kids is a thing that exists and most real people can do it and it works most DC writers are not adopted parents and dont know the specifics of how you depict that balance and it shows. It reeks of weird blood purist, anti-adoption vibes that just aren't good. Like the rise in "bad parent Bruce Wayne" towards Jason and Tim and some of the others (not sure he knows Cass's name anymore) conveniently corrolates with demon brats creation. Coupled with the fact on more than one occasion writers have seemed to make it seem like Damian does indeed mean more just cause he's blood related. I just don't like it. I wasn't overly fond of Helena Wayne (although she was better cause she was from another world instead of the canon one) and I don't like Damian for the same reason.
Secondly he was forced as Robin. As I said in a recent post up until Damian the role of Robin had only really been changed when it was necessary. Jason was made Robin because DC wanted Robin to be a kid again but readers liked the storylines they were getting with young adult Dick Grayson so they promoted Dick from sidekick and created Jason Todd. Likewise when Jason died there was no Robin, Dick wasn't about to go back to being Robin and Jason was dead thus Tim was created to fill a role that needed filling. Even Stephanie was made Robin due to Tim being unavailable for a long period of time (i dont remember the specifics but i think it had to do with his family finding out about Robin) so even when she lasted not even a year, she was still filling a vacamcy instead of being forced into a role that was already filled. Damian however was just created. They had not taken the proper steps to develop Tim out of being Robin naturally (and before people come at me with "oh he had plenty of time" Dick Grayson got FORTT YEARS and Damian is coming up on nearing 2 decades so shut up) and thus his creation has directly led to the problem we have right now in DC were we have TWO Robins cause they demoted Tim back to being Robin when Red Robin didn't work out (and 3 batgirls but that ones Barbara Gordon's fault). Coupled with the fact his introduction came right after the revival of Jason Todd thus basically screeching to a halt any real meaningful development that plotline could have had because suddenly DC had a shiny new toy to play with. Damian's creation was a turning point for Batman comics and not a good one, because it contributed to the derailing of multiple characters arcs and plotlines and some have still not fully recovered.
Thirdly his character upon introduction was already redundant. He's a child raised by assassins.... OK well we already have Cassandra Cain. He's a Robin willing to kill and will really test the Bat Fams moral compass. OK well as I said we'd already revived Jason Todd and he was already taking the fight to the Bat on the no kill rule. Literally the only unique thing he had upon introduction was that he was a blood relation to Bruce which I personally do not think should mean anything. But DC starting from that point going forward started to have a horrible undercurrent of blood purity. The only thing I can think that he is semi unique on is being biracial but even then not entirely his since Cassandra is biracial as well AND they never do anything with him being biracial. Plus if they really wanted to they could have reconned one of the existing Robins to be biracial without derailing multiple other characters plotlines.
Fourthly. He's an obnoxious and annoying brat 90% of the time. Like I get it, being raised by Talia (although there's conflicting information on of he was actually raised at all since the timeline does not seem to add up for his age and at one point he was grown in an artificial womb and artificially aged but that's been retconned but the timeline still don't add up if he's not artificially aged somewhat. His back story is a mess I ain't gonna make heads or tails of it) will inevitably result in a very arrogant child afterall Ra's and Talia's egos rival Lex Luthors. BUT they want us to believe at times he can back that up. And I'm sorry I don't care how skilled you are as a child assassin, you are still a child. Like in the Animated movies he should not be able to beat Deathstroke in a straight 1 to 1 fight. He just shouldn't. Both are highly skilled assassins sure but Slade is like 6 times Damian's age, double his size and at least 3 times his weight. There is also the fact that his dark, brooding, arrogant, cruel character sort of worked when he was Dick Grayson's Robin cause it was flipping the established dynamics for Batman and Robin. But when he's Bruce's Robin it doesn't work, we no longer have that little bit of sunshine that Robin is meant to bring to Batman (and don't think I haven't noticed how Batman's character has got crueler and darker since Damian became his Robin) while Batman is meant to be a guiding hand for Robin to keep him on the right track.
Fifthly. For Damian's character arc to really work/make sense ot has to be acknowledged that Talia is not a good mother. At best she's deliberately raising him in a dangerous environment and at worse she is actively abusive. It's the only way you can justify half of his character traits and why he's even here in the first place. Here's the issue for all I dislike Talia as a character... I don't believe she's an abusive mother. One thing that seems to be consistent for Talia was that she did love her family. Talia's flaws for me are in her inability to choose a side and her entitlement towards Bruce and other men (well and the whole worldwide genocide of anyone not League of Assassins). Now I am more willing to accept this one as just being how new Talia is but I don't blame some of her fans who feel miffed about this however they do have to acknowledge that there's no real way to do his story without her either being an incompetent parent or a down right bad one (but don't worry Talia fans Bruce is also awful nowadays so she's not alone there....)
Now his arrogance and overall unlikable character can absolutely be fixed with good writing. I hated him in the Animated movies (kid you grew up in the mountains leaving to kill you SHOULD NOT BE LECTURING BRUCE FUCKING WAYNE ABOUT STOCKS) but I'm quite liking him in Boy Wonder where it's actually tackling his own sense of entitlement and showing that he needs to learn from his predecessors rather than acting like he's better than them purely because he shares dna with Bruce.
BUT the conceptual issues I have won't go away quite so easily. It's why if I'm asked if I could wipe one Robin from existence, it will always be him. He could be written wonderfully, he could get a comic run that is the best written thing ever and I will still always say him when asked that question. And I know I'm not alone on that.

Tumblr media
it's already semester break and you had decided to have a sleepover for a week at your best friend's place—knowing her well that she'd ask you for a sleepover if you didn't propose the idea first when she had to watch her parents leaving to have a holiday in another city, away from her and her menacing older brother, yeonjun.
you had known yeonjun the time you befriended his sister, finding him to be cold, brooding and the whole package of 'dark grunge emo boy' ever since the second year of high school. he also never greeted you properly whenever you came to have a sleepover or a study session with his sister—only giving you a side glance, eye roll and then left the living room for the two of you once he slammed his door closed.
it had been a while and he gradually warmed up to you, giving you a curt nod as a greeting or buying you and his sister some snacks whenever he left the house to the nearest store. "here," he dropped a bag of snacks and drinks you requested, holding out his hand—telling both of you the exact number you had to pay before leaving with a small hum, lighting up his cigarette and leaving the house again to meet his friends.
"so, how's study?" was the most dreading question one could ask to a struggling student.
"it was fine," you replied with a smile, trying to conceal your pain over the fact that you had to take some classes before the next semester. feeling something on your thigh, you looked down and found yeonjun's hand resting on top of it comfortably—playing, tracing and drawing random shapes over your bare skin, giving you slight goosebumps and burning sensation once he stopped right on the end of your skirt.
his hand slipped underneath, running his index finger over your clad slit and giving a slight pressure over your sensitive nub—ignoring your stare while finishing down his dinner before pushing your panties aside, shoving two fingers inside you. it wasn't much but enough to make you full and squirming on the seat.
it was always the same once the two of you found interest in each other two summers ago, stealing some time to have a quickie or quick make out when there was none to catch you—enjoying the thrill of getting caught by your friends, his friends and his sister.
"jun, we cannot," you breathed out, watching his lips leaving marks all over your neck and collarbones while ignoring your plead to stop—left hand gripping the backside of your thigh, wrapping it around his waist while the other pushing your waist against the wall.
leaving your skin with a sloppy 'pop', yeonjun looked down to see your eyes and placed his fingers under your chin, eyes looking dangerous as always. "say it again," he licked his bottom lip, following your gaze as it shifted away from his face and starting to unbutton your pajama shirt, feeling your waist under his palm, "i take that as a 'we can' then," he rasped before pushing you down to his bed.
taking off his shirt, he ran his fingers along your bare skin and pressed kisses between your chest. "does my sister know you're here? on my bed? fucking her brother?" he gave your left breast a squeeze, rolling the nipple between his fingers before giving your right one a light suck, tongue flicking over the sensitive nub and leaving it alone with a gentle bite.
cocking his head to the side, his smirk got wider and started to coo at your vulnerable state. "what a whore. sleeping with your friend's brother behind her back," he spread your legs, massaging your thighs slowly while watching you dripping down to his sheet—still wet from the dinner.
smearing lube all over his length, he ripped open a packet and rolled the condom over it before pressing the head against your entrance, making sure you were ready to take him slowly. "fuck, whore like you are nothing but a hole for me to fuck, huh?" he gasped, watching you swallowed him with ease while keeping the noise down, avoiding any suspicion from his sister.
circling his thumb around your clit, you let out a mewl and dug your nails into his back, looking at him with glassy eyes and flushed cheeks. "jun, please, i'm close," you begged, feeling all familiar coil inside your stomach that always ready to burst out whenever yeonjun was around you—whether it was an arm length or deep inside you, yeonjun always knew your body well and how to make it cum without any effort.
"then cum for me," he looked down, gripping your waist tightly before increasing his speed and slamming his hips against yours harder, "show me how much of a dirty whore you are for my cock, slut."
