#jon red queen

[lucy-the-cat]

headcanon that there were at least two Newblood whispers out there and Jon murdered both bc the first one would have been hostile and the second would have been so bad at "curing" Maven that honestly he would have been better off dead

I just love how most of the Red Queen plot and conflict is rooted by personal grudges and family drama.

Like image ALL of this was caused by a Mega Boy Mom Karen 2.0👱‍♂️ and a Drifter who has a Hobby of Pushing Fishermen off cliffs🏔, playing 3D chess with hormonal teenagers with dangerous powers as chess pieces.♟️

Then Maven Calore casually pulling a Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame⛪️ cause Mare smooched 💏 his hotter, older brother and not his anemic ass.🤴

Disclaimer: I only enjoy this in a fictional setting. I can't handle it in real life.

Having more Jon thoughts because I have a neurodivergent fascination with him and refuse to be quiet -

So Jon is the one who pushed and killed Kilorn’s mentor, right? He did that to set into motion the plot that we read within the books, and so it really makes me wonder what Jon would’ve had to have seen in those other futures to have made him kill Kilorn’s mentor. One of the most obvious is Mare dying, sent off to war because she couldn’t find a job and so just became another dead body on the battlefield. And without the little lightning girl to act as a catalyst within the palace, where would that leave us?

I have no doubt that the Scarlet Guard, given just how giant it is, would’ve risen up with or without Mare, considering how small/maybe even insignificant she is within the rebellion when you really think about it. But the question is, would they succeed or would they fail? How many futures existed within Jon’s eyes where they fell like all the rest, and things within Norta remained the same? Or become significantly worse for everyone?

Now Norta had unrest building within the country for a while, and you can only oppress such a massive group of people for so long. But I know the fall of Norta would’ve been so much messier. For one, was Tiberias still killed? Was Elara able to execute her plan without Mare to act as a distraction? What about Cal?? Did he take the throne or was it stolen from under him like before? Did he die too??? Or maybe there were a few paths where Norta didn’t fall at all, and things never change. And all of these things determine Maven’s path during all of this, I think.

Why was what we read the best option in Jon’s mind? How much worse would those other endings have been? Why did he want this one specifically??

And then you also have to think about how every time Jon appears in the books, you know that it’s deliberate (god I love that thought so much, this character who always has some deeper purpose behind them every time they show up-). He’s there to change something, no matter how small that something may be. Like how he warns Mare!! That was to prevent another path from being followed so if he didn’t interfere at that point, what would’ve happened then!!!

When thinking about this there is just so, so many things to consider because there is a possibility that just about everything could change and it drives me fucking nuts because I LOVE IT SO MUCH I COULD TALK ABOUT IT FOR DAYS!!! I NEED SOMEONE TO UNDERSTAND BEFORE I EXPLODE

Personally, I think Dick wins

[dc-comics-enjoyer]

I have this hc that Bruce, although the genius and all, is not very good with names. He knows too many people and doesn't care that much. And when he starts giving the wrong name to someone ; either it's a temporary glitch in his brain, or that's their officially new one in his compartmentalized mind.

Bruce : I can't get a hold of Flash. I need him urgently. Have you seen Marty recently ?

Dick : Wally. And no, I haven't.

--

Bruce, putting a comforting hand on her shoulder : I promise you, everything's going to be fine, Sylvia. You just need to follow the plan.

Stephanie : I know, I'm ready to-- Wait, who ?

--

Bruce : That's enough, Bill ! The threat is on us right now and if you don't get this done--

Oliver : Oliver, Bruce. O-LI-VER. We've literally known each other for decades, you little shit !

--

Batman : This isn't funny, Amir. In the League, we won't tolerate this kind of--

Booster : Oh... Uhm, actually it's Michael.

Batman : I wasn't finished. So, now, you go ahead and reflect. I don't want you around here for today. We need the team sharp and focused. Lives are at stake. Can you understand that, Amir ?

Booster : I--

--

Bruce, getting back in the cave, taking his cowl off : I saw Ronny out there. He asked why you weren't answering his texts.

Jason: Ronny... Who the fuck's Ronny ?

Dick, who knows who Ronny is because Bruce has been calling him that since their Teen Titans days : Roy. He means Roy.

Confession, as a DC Comics Fan:

I don't like the shippings Damian Wayne had over the years. Not anymore, at least.

For awhile, I've been seeing a TON of Damian Wayne stuff related to ships on the internet. From big ones like Damirae or Damijon to smaller ships like Damian x Cassie or Damian x Djinn or Damian X Emiko. Then there was Damian and Flatline (or Nika) that became recently canon in the comic run, Lazarus Tournament (check it out, I think its cool). These ships had a fair share of fans and I've been one of them.

Until... I eventually grew out of it. Why?

Cause as I grew older, I'm getting a change of taste and a refreshed perspective of things, you know? So, with how much research I gather from Damian's character and these ships, opinions change. Some I lost likeness than I usually did. Some I got bored with overtime. Some, I just didn't care for as much. Lemme clarify, I still think some ships are likable than others, especially their dynamics with Damian as a character. But when I look between the characters he interacts with and their histories... It kinda makes me wonder... Does it really work? Are they worth it?

First, lemme start with the demon birds: Damirae. Damian x Raven. This was the first Damian Wayne shipping I discovered as a fan of the DC Animated Movie Universe. I watched JLVSTT (terrible title) to TT:JC to Apokolips War and ultimately... I was hooked. These characters could relate and they had such heartfelt and bittersweet tragic terms with the storyline. I cried when they shared their first AND final kiss (don't judge, I'm sensitive, 😭). This ship was my first and I fell in love with it! Plus, these characters have always been and will always BE my favorite in any DC storyline.

As I got older and learned more about them in other continuities, I grew a change of philosophy... I DON'T THINK IT WORKS. Hold on! Before Damirae fans explode! Hear me out. I see the appeal. They're similar in experience and personality, the idea of Damian, being the Grandson of the Demon's Head, dating a literal demon sounds cool (even if Rae wasn't originally a demon-). There's a lot in terms of age and direction with storylines I can see being a problem. Though, from how I see things and I say this from personal experience; similarities will not always be great in relationships. Their personalities just don't bounce each other off well for me. Additionally, I feel like some fanfics between this ship just don't do their characters justice. In a short question I've had with another user, I can say, I agree that some fans interpret this romance like a demon x angel dynamic. Like, Damian being into taking over the world while Raven is easily swayed on joining such pursuit. While the idea is... interesting, it does bug me a bit. It doesn't suit well with their characterization in my eyes. Plus, I feel like in other continuities, Raven, in character, would either,

1. Not like his personality.

2. Act as some sort of sympathetic sibling/mentor to him.

Honestly, number two sounds more fun and has potential in my eyes. 💜

Second, the one and only super sons; Damijon. Damian X Jon. These two are my ✨ world ✨. I've followed up with their comic storyline through YouTube (I have yet to snatch the comics-) and WOW they are just so, SO entertaining to watch! Jonathan Kent was super adorable (get it?)! Damian was a little troll but I love it! The movie was also spot on — the animation, the writing, the characters, the moments were just dynamite pure! I will love these two with a passion till the day I die! However, as much as I love these boys in all my heart and soul, I DO NOT ship them. It's cute but I just don't see them being anything more than friends, to be honest. 🦸

Third, the recent grave birds: Damiline. Damian X Flatline. OMG, I liked Flatline! I thought she was so cool! Not to mention, her power to absorb the abilities of warriors she's killed has so much potential. Sure, there were times when I thought moments of her were unnecessary or annoying, but she definitely caught my eye because she was just that fun! Her relationship with Damian was... interesting enough. I do feel like the romance was there because they were in a literal death tournament... if you know what I mean. It felt rushed. Plus, she kinda betrayed him later on. I'm surprised we didn't get a reaction from Damian to this too. Eventually, I looked into Flatline's solo issue in New Evolution. I feel like this issue in particular is where Flatline considers Damian as an afterthought. It was also this line that stood out the most for me — "We'll see how long that lasts". This could mean their relationship may one day end short. And I believe Flatline is just as aware of this too. BUT. I don't think this is a bad thing. It could allow opportunities for her to develop without always being in a romantic role. I like the character, I just don't see this working for too long. It feels like the writers were trying to throw a goth x goth romance for the sake of the plot. 💀

I hear Flatline's coming back, though! I'm excited to see her return!

Fourth, Damian X Cassie Sandsmark (Wonder Girl). This originated from the DCeased storyline, where the world suffered a zombie-like apocalypse thanks to Cyborg bringing the Anti-Life Equation to Earth. Though... To me, she just seemed like another "Jonathan Kent" best friend, than anything else. Probably just me. If there were more interactions, maybe I'll reconsider. 🦸

Fifth, Damian X Djinn. Now, I thought this had potential. They did seem genuine with each other and had nice conversations. Though, if the pedophile part wasn't involved (Djinn being an immortal deity), I'd probably give it a chance. But I don't really ship it because of that fact. 😓 🧞‍♀️

And finally, Damian X Emiko Queen (Red Arrow). I don't see much appeal to this ship. They had similarities, sure, but... that's about it. Damian just had a brief "stalker-crush" and that was gone. So, not much to be said there. Like I mentioned before, if there were more interactions between them, maybe I'll consider. For now, it's not for me. 🏹

This will be where my confession comes to an end. These are my thoughts and opinions. You guys don't have to agree with me but that's just how I see these ships regarding Damian Wayne as a character. Arguments are welcome in the comments. I'm fascinated by these juicy conversations!

Anyways, have fun! And I hope you enjoyed my post. Have a good day!

👋😉👍

Jason and Roy were packing away the leftovers. Though there wasn't much left considering just how many people came over to eat. "If I leave without complimenting Alfred, feel free to never let me come over again."

Jason chuckled. "Oh? Who said you were leaving?"

Roy grinned. "Trust me I had no plans on leaving tonight Jaybird. But I did have some plans," he winked at Jason.

Jason looked at him playfully, stuffing the last dish into a small bag. "I'd hope so. Or else tonight was gonna get really boring."

Roy lead into Jason slowly, kissing him softly. Jason smiled into the kiss, like a real genuine smile. They pulled away when they heard someone making a gaging sound in the doorway.

"Get a room you two. Jesus fuck." Damian poured a glass of the non-alcoholic cider.

Jason rolled his eyes. "Says you, now scram nerd."

Damian stuck out his tongue. "Loser," he turned and walked out.

Roy chuckled at the two brothers. "You two are adorable."

Jason shrugged. "I might be, but I know damn well that brat isn't."

"Mhm, mhm. Whatever makes you feel better."

He huffed, shoving the bag into Roy's arms. "It's Oliver's. Go give it to him."

Roy gave him a fax salute before grabbing the bag. "Yes sir."

Jason chuckled, rolling his eyes playfully. "Get out of here."

Roy placed a small kiss on Jason's forehead before turning to leave.

He sighed, placing his head on the counter. "Heard you helped cook. Wouldn't have expected that from you." Jason lifted his head up, looking at who just entered. There in the doorway stood Koriand'r.

Jason shrugged. "I was helping Selina mostly. She's actually a pretty good cook."

She grabbed the bottle of red wine. "So I've heard. She made the apple pie, right?"

He nodded. "And the rolls. Shit was homemade."

Her eyes widened. "Really? They were incredible."

"I know right."

Roy came back into the kitchen. "I'm bac- oh hello there Kori."

She waved, giving him a small smile. " Hey there Roy."

Roy walked over to Jason, placing a gentle kiss on his cheek. "They said thank you."

Kori smiled at them. "You two are cute. I better be the maid of honor."

Jon deserves more attention I think!!! He’s such an interesting character to me and I really wanted to make some art for him since I’ve never really seen any before :)!! I’m surprisingly happy with how this one turned out >:0

+ a version without such harsh overlay <3
