#duke of tone

[nob1969guitar]

さてさて…

Effects bakeryのクリームパンブースターですが、大きい音で試してみてもHX-StompのEP擬きと音の違いがよくわからず、これならHXので良いか〜…と、なりまして。

OD系の音が最近必要になってきたのでMXRのDuke of Toneを仕入れて仕込んでみました。YouTubeでみて良さそうだったのと、コレならスペースに収まりそうだったので…

実際に音出しした感想は…コレ、良いですね〜。最初はちょっとハイ寄り過ぎると思ったのですが、それもトーン絞り気味にすれば問題無しでした。ギター側のボリューム操作にもしっかり追随してくれるし。全体的にゲインは低めであるけれど、ゲイン上げても音が破綻しないし、自分が苦手なTS系みたいなやり過ぎコンプ感も無し。もう一台欲しいくらいです。

duke and jason as dumb stock images! these were really fun to draw so i'll probably do the other robins

[stoopystuppy]

since i gave these stickers to someone, i can finally post them >:DD

[logicallyblind]

you don’t understand the amount of money i would be willing to pay for a batfamily related film shot in the style and feel of the live action scooby doo movies from the early 2000s oh my god-

bonus points if you say how it turns out

[majimasleftasscheek]

I look at your little Majima doll and I instantly think if I push his stomach it’d give me catchphrases

gotta have the classic "KIRYU-CHAN" and then he spouts some curses, some insults, says bumblefuck every so often

rarely he'll go off about those weird martial arts movies he watches

if you throw him, he'll make that REEEEEE noise

if you press both his handsies he starts singing 😊

The art bug came at me with a vengeance for blood. It demanded Duke Thomas and who am I to deny that?

(And yes, I used glitter watercolors on the boi. It just felt like the right thing to do. He is very shiny in RL. The pictures just don't do it justice, smh)

Doug and Elaine Thomas: A timeline since DC is incapable of being consistent

Zero Year, They are introduced

Endgame, They get Jokered™

Death Metal, about seven years of continuity are added back to the timeline, their ages are now up in the air

Batman Rebirth, Elaine goes missing

Batman Urban Legends 19, Elaine is found and cured (but what about- ssssshhhhh)

DC Power 2024, THEY ARE DEAD APPARENTLY

literally yeah! ugh its so anoying, i think these are things that would simply be best addressed with a Duke centric ongoing, yep yep yep i don't make the rules you just Gotta make a Duke solo run ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [shrug kaomoji] its the only way!

This is why I hate discussing Duke. If you say that Duke already has a family, that he is not Bruce's kid (because he isn't and that's OK!! Adults can be important to kids as mentors, teachers, friends, and not be their parents! Steph is not his kid, Barb is not his kid, and people can independently have familial type relationships without actually being family) without someone accusing you of hating POC characters. It's frustrating. I like Duke a lot. I hate talking about him.

Thats not what i was doing? I was agreeing with you. Duke is important to the batfamily but he isn’t Bruce’s kid, and that nuance is often lost because people in fandom like black and white no-nuanced relationships to play with. I wanted to make a joke about the often-left-out-of-conversations Duke being Thomas’ favorite because of a coincidence of his name, and because i rarely see Bruce and Dukes relationship discussed at all.

In the same answer i mentioned why i like acknowledging their relationship as explicitly familial, (mentorship being part of that), not because you were doing that thing but because I have often seen other people wave away Dukes relationships specifically in a way I have not seen with the other batboys. I see it with Steph and Babs and even Cass.

I also just think Duke and Thomas would get along and I like the idea of him being the favorite.
