Note
the Background Default Canon thing always gets me when authors bring the Justice League into Bat fanfics. it's one thing to fudge the timelines because there was some big event happening that took everyone out of commission for a little while, or to play loose with what characterization would have been current for side characters, but so often none of the members they include were even on the League in the years surrounding the events they're writing about. just set your stuff in the DCAU at that point.
Ah yes, I am familiar with that irritation, particularly the "why are Barry, Ollie and Hal alive and members of the Justice League right now" form of it. Barry's the worst offender. Is this story set at any point between COIE and Flashpoint? Barry shouldn't be on the League.
But yes, there's so often a blindness to the fact that the 'classic' JLA lineup was basically absent between COIE and 1997, and had plenty of roster changes over the years from 1997 to 2011. It doesn't have to be perfect, but you could at least take a peek at who were core members around the time.
Because sometimes that sort of story is like "and then the Justice League showed up to help" and you're blinking going... which version? Did Bruce really call Maxima, Ray Terrill, Ted Kord and Captain Atom to help out? Because I can guarantee Bruce didn't want that list to turn up to help out.

A REDOLENCE FOR NIMS , O triple sob -- turned forty at midnight -- body at dawn booze-soddened but hopeful, knowing that the only thing to remember is dreams. Dead clear zero, Sunday afternoon in an attic of a closed resort on Lake Michigan with one lone duck riding the diminishing swells of yesterday's storm against the snowy cliffs of North Manitou: Whom are we to love? How many and what for? My heart's gone to sea for years. This is a prayer, plaint, wish, howl of void beneath breastbone. Dreams, soul chasers, bring back my heart alive.

UN DEJO PARA NIMS
Triple sollozo... cumplidos cuarenta a medianoche... el cuerpo al alba apesgado de priva pero confiado, sabedor de que lo único digno de recordar son los sueños. Neto nulo cierto, siesta de domingo en el alto de un albergue cerrado del lago Michigan con un único pato sobrenadando menguantes tumbos de la tormenta de ayer contra la riba nevada de Manitou: ¿A quién vamos a amar? ¿A cuántos amaremos? ¿para qué? Mi corazón lleva años en la mar. Esto es un rezo, queja, voto, brama de vacío bajo el esternón. Sueños, acosadores del alma, traed vivo de vuelta a mi corazón.

Forest Spirits
Stories of forest ghosts abound in the heart of the old forests, where sunlight seeps through in dappled patterns beneath a dense canopy. People believe these phantom-like creatures, believed to embody the spirit of the forest, to be the guardians of the natural world. With their quiet movements amidst the woods, they are more felt than seen—a whisper among the rustling leaves, a shimmer in the morning mist. A common depiction of forest spirits is that of enigmatic, elusive beings whose shapes merge perfectly with their surroundings. According to some traditions, they resemble wisps of shadow or light, while others see them as animals or humanoids covered in vines and moss. They can have an aesthetically pleasing or unsettling aspect, which reflects the forest's dual character as a haven of mystery and tranquility. Many civilizations honor and venerate forest spirits. People regard them as the guardians of ancient wisdom, their understanding of the natural world extending back to the dawn of time. It is thought that these spirits keep the ecosystem's delicate balance intact, ensuring that everything in the forest lives in harmony. A woodland spirit is believed to be fiercely protective of their territory; therefore, to enrage one is to invite calamity. Narratives of encounters with forest spirits frequently include their capacity to mentor and assist individuals who behave responsibly towards the forest. A gentle glow or a helping hand may guide a lost traveler to safety. In particular, healers and shamans consult these spirits in hopes of receiving knowledge about secret springs and medicinal plants.
Tumblr media
Various cultures' folklore depicts woodland spirits in a variety of names and shapes, each with its own special qualities and tales. The Kodama are tree spirits from Japanese mythology that live in old trees and bless people who respect them while condemning those who do them harm. In Celtic traditions, the Green Man is a symbol of rebirth and the cycle of growth. He is frequently shown as a face composed of leaves and vines. According to Native American beliefs, all living things are home to the Manitou, a spirit that guards and guides the natural world. But there isn't always harmony in the relationship between people and forest spirits. It is believed that these ghosts become resentful and even go into hiding as a result of human invasion and environmental degradation. In these stories, the formerly kind spirits transform into messengers of bad luck, revealing their fury through storms, failed crops, and other misfortunes. The spirits view the pollution and deforestation that result from human growth as direct insults, which upset the equilibrium and peace they work so hard to preserve. The stories of forest spirits all have a deep reverence for nature and an understanding of its inherent worth, despite the differences in representations and beliefs. These spirits serve as a reminder of the interdependence of all living things and the significance of living sustainably. They are the forest's spirit, an enduring presence that keeps watch over the always-shifting dance of life that occurs there. Stories of forest spirits serve as powerful reminders to recognize the ancient ties that bind us to the planet and its many kinds of life, as well as to maintain and safeguard our natural environments in the present era. The depictions of forest spirits in literature, art, and oral traditions continue to evoke awe and respect for the natural world. Paintings and sculptures frequently depict their forms entwined with the forest's flora and fauna. Poets and writers use the enigmatic nature of these spirits to evoke the magic and mystery of the woods, transporting readers to a realm where the boundaries between the natural and supernatural worlds become blurred.
Tumblr media
Modern environmental initiatives use the symbolism of forest spirits to promote sustainable living and conservation. In order to highlight the sacredness of the forests and the necessity of preserving them from degradation, activists conjure the image of these guardians. Through utilizing the rich cultural heritage of forest spirit mythology, their aim to cultivate a shared sense of accountability and environmental stewardship among people. The capacity of forest spirits to forge deep and meaningful connections between humans and the natural world is ultimately what gives them their enduring legacy. They serve as a reminder that the forest is a living, breathing organism with a spirit and soul, not merely a collection of trees and animals. These tales urge us to respect the ages-old cycles of nature, remember our role in the larger scheme of things, and treat the planet that supports us with kindness.

365 DC Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…
October 11th - Manitou Dawn
Dawn and her late husband Manitou Raven hail from the Obsidian Age of Atlantis, circa 1000 BC. They were born in North America, from a tribe which would one day become the Apache Nation. Dawn and Raven were recruited by the rulers of Atlantis to join heroes from across the world so to form a ‘League of Ancients’ to address global threats. A time traveling Justice League helped this League of Ancients defeat Gamemnae and, afterward, Dawn and Raven chose to accompany the JLA into the future. Manitou Raven was made a member of The Justice League and later the Justice League Elite. Raven became obsessed in his work, attempting to decipher the ‘stony path.’ Dawn felt neglected by her husband and the two grew apart. Sadly the two were unable to reconcile as Raven was killed in action on a mission. Dawn took Raven’s magical staff as her own and became Manitou Raven, wielding the same magical powers once possessed by her husband. With these powers, Dawn was able to assist the Justice League Elite in defeating the traitor in their midst, the villains known as Menagerie. Since then Dawn has taken a semi-active role in the affairs of the Justice League. During the Infinite Crisis, Dawn was a pivotal player in stopping The Key, who had developed new, super-powerful telepathy. Manitou Dawn first appeared in the pages of JLA #75 (2003).

I don't know if it's just me but it feels like alot of the points people use to criticise Tim are things that can actually be seen with early Damian writing. The too smart, dangerous, over-competent and slightly murderous character doesn't really fit Tim as a character even though he's ascribed to that and criticised for it but it can easily be seen with Damian.
I don't hate Damian as a character, but I get what you mean about it being tiring that DC keeps pushing him to the top of the totem pole especially since the way the do that is by making other characters seem incompetent and by ignoring other characters. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Cass, Barbara or Tim have been on the Justice League but Damian as a teen younger than them technically is/was?
Oh boy. Late response on this, but I've been playing with it for a while.
Starting with the last point first: Tim’s actually the only one of those three who hasn’t been on a main universe Justice League at any point.
Barbara was a member of the JLA after the Morrison reboot for quite a while between 1998-2000. She’s also got the tendency to pop up in JL stories and events as one of the computer folk helping maintain their systems. She’s certainly more focused on her OWN team and I don’t think she’s ever been a member as Batgirl, but as Oracle? As Lian Harper says in Titans #1 (1999), she’s secretly running the League.
Cass was a member of Justice League Elite, a morally ambiguous Justice League spinoff coming out of one of the more confusing JLA arcs. She was placed on the team undercover as ‘Kasumi’ by Bruce essentially as a spy. In tone it feels like DC trying their hand at a The Authority ripoff before they gobbled Wildstorm up. Is it a good series? No, but it does mean Cass has been on a Justice League team with Wally, Ollie, and a bunch of Z-listers you’ve never heard of. (Someone is now going to defend oh Manitou Dawn to me and while I DO like her, she's a Z-lister, sorry)
Digression aside!
I think a lot of the time when people are arguing against a character, they are frequently complaining about the flanderised, fanonised version of that character that they trip over in fic all the time more than the character on page in comics. Not always! But those do tend to irritate people more.
In terms of "what people want to argue fanon Tim to be, Damian already is" sort of? I mean there are multiple fanon versions of Tim, but yes, "too smart, dangerous, over-competent and slightly murderous" is a common one among people who want to really insist Tim killed lots and lots and lots of people in Red Robin #8 (a reading I do not subscribe to). It is equally an okay but not great description of Damian, in that I would mostly place even early Damian as 'dangerously violent' not 'murderous' by BFTC.
I don't think it's great in terms of complete accuracy for either of them, but yeah, if you boil things down, it's closer to Damian's actual character than Tim's.
In terms of DC pushing them: yeah, Damian by being THE Robin between 2009 and 2019 or so got a solid editorial pitch as a central character, because 'Robin' as a title has that extra cachet outside of intense comics nerd circles. There were events and storylines that centred his position as The Robin, but equally it comes out in basic things like...which characters are prioritised to appear in anthologies! If we are writing a Batman Christmas story, let's have it feature Bruce and Damian, or Bruce, Dick, Damian and Barbara. And so on.
Now whether Damian's getting prioritised over every other 'kid' of the family is a murky discussion - there's a place for the conversation that certain writers in particular had a tendency to focus on Damian being Bruce's biological kid, over and above the adopted children - but generally it comes and goes in waves and with what stories are pitched. It's very clear when you read comics that some writers just like using particular characters more than others. There's often stories written where to make the story work, someone has to be left holding the idiot ball or being needlessly aggressive, to provide conflict, and writers who do this obviously have to choose someone to do it for them. If a story is centring Damian, generally he isn't going to be the one who finds out he's wrong after providing the conflict. If it's centring say Tim, then Damian might be used to push the narrative forward. And when a writer does like one character more than another, they might choose the one they don't intend to write often as the one who gets stuck being idiot ball.
TL;DR: on some occasions Damian might be being prioritised. On others he isn't. He got a lot of spotlight to himself during the 2010s; that's been more balanced since then (honestly Dick has been the one hogging spotlight for the last few years, if anyone).

ended up doing the whole Superfriends/Ultimen/Runaways gang. More or less the same meta as my last post on the group, but with a couple variations. All presented here in a kind of rough sketchbook format
I left out Vulcan this time, but Virgil kinda fills the “Son of Vulcan” role (this I rolled Black Vulcan, Son of Vulcan, and Juice all together under the expanded Shazam/Garden of Eternity umbrella). He’s the youngest hero here, but sort of brings everyone back together.
Tye is a metahuman patterning herself after the mythic hero Manitou Dawn, as well as a popular Black Metal singer and percussionist in several groups. She has the size-changing powers and super-senses of the Ultimen!Longshadow.
Eduardo is a little further afield: his primary power is teleportation like the YJ version, but he also spent some time training under the mystic Extrano, giving him a wider range of abilities on par with the Superfriends version. He briefly dated Bunker, but he and Miguel decided they were better as friends (occasionally hook-ups notwithstanding, I mean Ed’s beautiful, fuck)
Goldrush is here, but now she’s kind of El Dorado’s archnemesis, on account of her powers are a direct result of experiments by the White Dragon
Asami’s reworked to be a sort of weird fusion of the Superfriends’ Samurai, Ultimen’s Wind Dragon, and Sam Koizumi, all filtered through 90s anime tropes. She’s a metahuman with aerokinesis powers, but “Wind Dragon” here is a yokai she’s consolidated with her powerset through her sword. She was actually originally inspired by Red Tornado and was elated to meet both the mechanical Tornado and Cyclone.
Katana was her sidekick for years before Tatsu married Maseo and moved to America. Maseo’s death and Tatsu willingly taking on Soultake was a point of contention between the two, leading to Tatsu to break from her mentor entirely and agree to join up with Task Force X as a handler.
pls ignore how small Tatsu is, none of these are to scale with each other, I just messed up and didn’t get around to fixing it yet
