Telemachus, crying that he finally gets to meet his dad: “For twenty years, I never could outgrow you”

Odysseus, the short king, also crying: son, you are several inches taller then I am

I often see debates on what Jason actually listens in music, and I think we as society need more of "Jason listens almost everything, depending on his mood" flavour, actually.

Jason Todd, whose music taste just depends on the day or an hour of a day, and his family can't keep up with that.

The Batfam: (having a brief meeting in the Batcave, going over some case)

Stephanie, putting her papers aside: Okay, I am tired of pretending that I don't hear anything — what is with the screaming sounds from the manor?

Bruce, with noise-cancelling plugs in his ears: Jason's hard rock hour. Ignore it.

Stephanie, blinking: Okay.

Nightwing, in the middle of banter with goons: What? Why are you suddenly so scared—

Red Hood, storming in on his bike, with Taylor Swift's songs roaring: ARE YOU READY FOR IT?!

Nightwing: A-ah, checks out. But you should be glad, guys. The last dude got his shit beat out of him on the beat of "made it out alive, but I think I lost it" song with a crowbar. Taylor Swift is chill.

Damian, sitting down in the car, warily: Todd. Why are you escorting me to the school today?

Jason, shrugging: Alfred is busy.

Damian, swallowing down, eying at the music system: ...Okay.

Jason: (casually puts a classical music)

Damian: (sighs out in a relief)

Black Mask, at some point: Did the Red Hood guy just wrecked me while rapping Eminem?!!?

In the light of recent events I have a very vivid image of Poseidon or his sirens munching on WiFi wires

Is it considered plagiarism if you're copying your own comic?

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

I think everyone should take note of the storytelling in the Ithaca premiere during luck runs out

IMO, people should wear theatrical clothes more. Like, YES, obviously you should come clubbing in a ball gown, that’s freaking awesome. Hamlet shirt with extra lace and billowing sleeves? Perfect. A jacket with coattails and a top hat? We love that. Life would be so much more dramatic and interesting. Let’s prance down the street singing out of tune, in the rain, like we’re in a musical. Fuck yes.

I love the idea of Raph and Donnie having lasting effects!!! Are there any others apart from the eyes and maybe the hive mind thing? (Also does the hive mind thing affect how they interact with each other?)

Also I love your art!!! The comic is awesome, and I did not realise you were the one who made the awesome music video for the Cass Apocolypse series!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

Meanwhile:

They get a little mixed up sometimes...
