#smol robin is life

[yanderefairyangel]

Fun fact, in the japanese dub, Chrom and Robin call each other “半身” “hanshin”. The localization translate it by “other half” but literaly it means “half the body”. WAY LESS ELEGANT if I must say.

This is also referenced in this FEH comic : 

Kiran’s reasoning is due to 半身 meaning half the body in the LITERAL sense, when Chrom and Robin use it in a metaphoric sense meaning that’s their are two halves of a whole. 

Meaning that it’s what their japanese dub introduction sounds like

And yes I know that because I got my hands on clips of the japanese dub. 

By the way, anyone wondering, those events are not badly translated though the localization did a lot of stuff to make it sounds elegant compared to a literal transaltion, keeping freedom but still convying the same idea.

For instance when Chrom wakes up, he says that he won’t be able to use his catchphrase “There are better place to sleep than the ground you know” when the localizers have him says that he won’t be able to tease Robin for his long naps, which is more or less the same idea but... the fact that they erased an Awakening easter egg is unforgivable.

For the one wondering what they say about Emmeryn, Robin originally state “When we lost Emmeryn, Holy King Chrom’s sister, I swore that I would become his half so that we could make up for each’s other’s immaturity” (have mercy on me, it’s ugly I know, but it’s the literal translation).

And the one wondering if Chrom killed Grima making it canon when we all know that the sacrifice ending, that’s the translation again. When Lucina interacts with Robin she ask if Reflet-san comes with her father and he answers “Yes, I keep on fighting by Chrom’s side” 

before she declares this 

“I am not confident in fighting you, my father’s half-body, but I’ll do my best”... YES OTHER HALF IS MUCH BETTER!! OR USE THE FRENCH DUB SOLUTION (the french dub refers to Robin ( Daraen in the European version) as Le second de Chrom, in short his right hand man, but in French the pun with  半身 still survives due to the fact that well..; second is transparent so I guess you would understand)

But overall there is no weird thing of the localizations concerning Awakening’s plot being mistreated, they just erased easter eggs and sometimes over translated stuff that can creates confusion, especially when Emmeryn’s paralogue as debatable canoncity

And while it’s not really important, the localizers kind of change the original Lucina reunion scene because in the Original, Reflet says “ Chrom was really worried about you, he could not shut up” (literaly but it can also be understood that Chrom was noisy) and Chrom answer “There was no need to tell her, Reflet” or more literaly

Like I said it doesn’t really change much except Robin is being less teasing towards Chrom and erasing the fact that Robin is teasing Chrom the same way he calls Frederick Freddy Bear is an unforgivable crime against humanity

Asides from that the dialogue pretty much display the same idea except Chrom saying he was relieved to see Lucina’s face makes me wonder if he ever misses his OTHER daughter. No, not Cynthia! I am talking about baby Lucina !

And also, hanshin is your answer to “Why is Robin so small”. He is the small half.

Smol snippet because the angst hit me all of a sudden.

CW: mentions of death, mental fucking breakdown djxkd-, grief, angst, Sunday is sad :’’’’)), 2.0-2.1 spoilers.

(Disclaimer with a 2.2 trailer/livestream spoiler: I’m aware that she isn’t actually dead, but this is made in mind with Sunday who doesn’t know that.)

No mentioned gender for reader.

Writing under the cut (SFW):

“My baby, my baby. You’re my baby say it to me.”

Cradled in your arms he cannot even cry. He feels empty and lost. Sunday… what use is the name Sunday if there is no Robin to call after him? He failed her. Her, the one who shone so brightly in his life.

He can remember every birthday, every scrape, every “good morning” and “good night”. He can remember every “I love you”. Thinking about these memories, holding that light cone with a moment in time held so dear trapped within it’s frame- It fills the emptiness with something.

Sunday tightens his grip on you, fingers twisting in the back of your shirt as a silent sob wracks his body.

Anguish.

That is the name of the emotion that colors his empty insides with dark and dreary hues of blues and blacks; his heart with the color of life as it bleeds in her absence.

You pet the back of his head, holding him back just as tightly as he finally allows himself to fall apart in only the company of solitude and you. The seraph finally allows his wings to rest. The figurehead finally takes off the perfect mask.

“Why did it have to be her?” He can’t understand how this happened. How could his lovely, perfect sister be gone?

“I don’t know. I’m sorry, Sunday,” is all you can say. But that much is enough. He lets his tears wet your shoulder as he hides away from the reality of her death and the world. He’s grateful you’re here at least. In the back of his mind that’s fracturing and breaking to pieces, he wonders what he’d do if he didn’t even have you to hold him together. Would he fall apart? Lose himself entirely?

A dash of gratitude and love colors his bleakness in a splash of warm pinks and oranges- Like the sunset he watched with you in the dreamscape not too long ago.

She was everything before he met you. Being the older brother, she was like his first child. He can remember looking at her tiny, chubby face when she was still too young to talk, and thinking- “This is my baby sister.” He was supposed to take care of her- protect her.

Thinking of how someone killed her in cold blood and made those starlight eyes close forever… Deep reds formed.

Anger.

He would force the criminal into the light and bring about retribution for their evil.

“Will you help me?”

He asked, eyes almost manic and wings spread; looking almost like an angry, vengeful fallen angel in that moment.

You took his hand and he smiled, leaning down to kiss the hand that accepted his.

“Thank you, my love.”

I wanted to include how every older sibling’s first child is their baby sibling, lololol. And just. I can’t imagine how much grief he had to have been going through. OTL

I might edit this or add to it later this was just a blurb I wrote in like five minutes-

[mikakuna]

When Batman rescues a twelve-year-old boy from a sex-trafficking ring, he ultimately makes the decision to look after him for a few days, feeling responsible for his current condition. Revealing his identity to the boy is the logical next step. Building trust was important, and Bruce needed Jason to trust him. There’s one slight problem with Bruce’s plan. Due to the effects of the Joker Venom, Jason doesn’t remember anything about meeting Batman, let alone Bruce Wayne. In Jason’s eyes, he’s been trafficked. And the man who brought him is none other than Bruce himself.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/29237001/chapters/71790027

Jason’s background as a victim of abuse and childhood homelessness means it’s hard for him to trust, and to ask for things. After only a couple months in the manor, he still isn’t sure about Bruce Wayne.

https://archiveofourown.org/series/575182

When Bruce brings a new child home to the manor, Dick has a few choice words for Bruce about making him Robin. Convinced that Jason needs a stable loving family more than he needs a crime-fighting outlet, Bruce, Dick, and Alfred take on the challenge of bringing Jason up as civilian while still keeping their caped careers a secret.

Or: Bruce Wayne is a Good Dad, Dick Grayson is a Great Brother, Alfred is the Best Grandpa, and Jason is smol. Tooth-rotting fluff ahoy. (i'm linking this even though you read it for people who haven't yet! also i never read the ones with tim in it but those are a lot later in the series so don't worry, it's still jason and bruce centric)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/26730145/chapters/65210116

Jason Todd was kidnapped at nine-years-old and given two options. Work for his keep, or be forced to to work for his keep.

His life was not pleasant, but Jason was nothing if not a fighter, and dammit if was he going to let the hell around him kill who he was as a person. Or his dreams of growing up and going to college.

Those dreams suddenly came a little more into focus, when his idiot of a pimp accidentally tried to rent him to Bruce Wayne. Poor bastard could have never guessed he was the Batman himself. Heck, not even Jason figured that out, at first. And Batman had practically adopted him. (i loved this so much)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/49876537

Jason doesn't die at the hands of the Joker. There are a couple of things he and Bruce might need to work through.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55020211

“You will fix this,” Alfred corrects him. “You will fix this, and let Master Jason know that you don’t care about his sexual orientation, that it changes nothing. That you were mistaken in what you said to him. That you certainly didn’t mean to imply that you thought any less of him for his choice in reading.”

https://archiveofourown.org/works/22637476/chapters/54102781

Batman makes it in time to save Robin from the bomb. He doesn't make it in time to save Jason from the Joker.

Or Batman is too late in every universe, but Bruce Wayne doesn't have to be.

+ jayroy:

https://archiveofourown.org/series/1328723

i've linked this one in a previous rec list but basically, this is an au series where jason escapes an abusive relationship and meets roy!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30004014

It was just dinner with family. A family large enough to be an independent militia, but that was all. Nothing serious.

Lian disagreed. (one of my fav crack fics!!)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/52945642

a fic where the bats find out, one by one, that jason and roy are dating!

i really don't have much for jayroy since i'm pretty picky when it comes to jason fics and ship fics in general, but i'll reblog this if i find any others that i enjoy! in the meantime, hopefully these are some new fics for you to read!!

It has gotten very dark in the ask box and I’d like to remind everyone that Robin and Superboy are just little guys. Let them be little guys without giving them (more) life long trauma, okay? They’re smol and precious, they should be cherished

You know how Terry never got to meet Alfred in Batman Beyond? What if we could change that 💃✨️ how? Time travel shenanigans~

What if a villain wanted to play around with time travel and mess with the batman, choosing to do so by capturing Robin (Damian) in the present, and switching him with the future Robin, Matt (Terry's little brother or my personal OC, if you ever want to hear about her 👀). This causes a whole lot of drama and stress for both batfams of the past and future, but are determined to return things to normal asap.

Terry can't stand Damian when he was younger and full of angry smol energy, and Damian, while trying to find a way back home, is struggling to understand how Terry, a complete outsider to the batfam, became worthy of being batman above anyone else. This also becomes a brief hot topic of debate in the past with the other batfam and future Robin, who is making their existence there everyone else's problem.

Eventually, Terry gets along with young Damian, and Bruce works efficiently with future Robin (whoever they are), that they find their ways back to each other and beat up the bad guy. They all officially meet, and due to a time travel cool down, chill in the past inside Wayne Manor. Where they can all share Intel and some peace after the hectic event they went through. Terry answers vague questions about the future, and gets to meet Alfred for the first time, and he is happy that his Bruce had him in his life for so long. Near the end, I imagine he asks Alfred for a scone recipe that was lost, and makes it for his Bruce in the future. The end.

Aaah, I was typing and lost the main reason I was writing this ask in the first place, but here is my midnight rambling ✨️

I ADORE time travel shenanigans! And Terry is such a perfect person to travel through time to see these different, younger versions of the people he knows (and meet some people like Alfred that he had only ever heard about through stories).

I imagine Terry is a little weirded out by some of their younger counterpoints, and I definitely agree that Damian is probably the strangest for him to see, especially since Damian would be close to Matt's age.

I bet he is surprised by just how much Alfred does for the family and the influence he has on them (mainly Bruce). Terry and Alfred get along great, both stubborn with a take no shit attitude, though Terry cannot understand his need to stick to his butler role. Alfred for his part probably listens well. Terry might feel more comfortable talking about certain things (while talking around spoilers for the future) since it's a bit weird with the others. (it could be so sweet!)

And Terry making scones for future Bruce 😭😭😭

It would be such a good bonding experience for them. And it could be fun for Terry to realize that Bruce knows certain things due to the time travel mix ups. It would be so sweet!

Thanks for the ask! I love this!

WIP Wednesday: sappy, smut-free romance edition

This takes place a few days after chapter four of Moon-Crossed Lovers ends. Marc had cajoled a grieving Jack, who'd been a smol wolf blanket burrito, into taking a shower. Want cuddles? Shower.

--------------------------

[...] Marc resisted nodding off along with Jack on the couch. He and his brothers had slept there before they’d bought the used bedframe and new mattress and box spring now in the bedroom. As he had then, Marc peered through the partially opened curtains at the smattering of stars bright enough to pierce city lights.

Now with Jack in his arms it felt so different. His brothers, Layla, and Frenchie were as solid and supportive as ever, but Jack… he was different. Despite his optimism being dimmed at the moment, that and his kind, gentle nature had taken root in Marc. The world felt a little less callous with Jack in his life.

The werewolf curled against him twitched in his sleep. Smiling, Marc hugged him closer. He, Robin, and Bri could never replace Jack’s family, but they’d be there for him. If the Russells obeyed abuela and stayed away, it was their loss.

Jack’s eyelids fluttered open. “Coraźon,” he mumbled. “What time is it?”

“Just after midnight.”

Jack hummed, then asked, “What day is it?”

“Friday.”

“Mmm.” He stretched, nuzzling into Marc’s neck in the process. “Deadline’s Monday?”

Marc nodded, making his stubble snag Jack’s hair.

“Can’t you translate here?” He shifted to rest his now clean-shaven chin on Marc’s chest. His green eyes flicked to the coffee table. “Spread everything out on the table.”

“Has anyone ever told you you’re clingy?” Marc asked with a grin.

Jack sniffed, but his eyes were smiling. “Fine,” he said facetiously. “Abandon me in my hour of need.”

Marc sat up, propping Jack up in the process. “I had no idea that moving ten feet away was abandonment, but okay.”

Batfam kids age swap au. Damien is the oldest and Dick is the youngest, Tim is older than Jason, etc. and the kids were brought into the Wayne household in reverse order. I feel like this could have some fun ripple effects? 👀

oh yes yes ur so right age reverses are soo cool. im going to make this so damian centric

talia drops damian off at bruce’s, bruce having been batman a little while (about a decade?) and damians character arc is wildly different solely because he doesnt have anyone else to compete with. theres insecurity, yes , he is in a new environment, different expectations etc etc but he learns fast. i think hes more comfortable straight from the beginning because he only has to figure out how to be a good Son, not a brother (yet).

hes not robin he picks another cool name. very batman-esque but even more mysterious because smol. he jumps in, attacks and pops out again. everyone thinks hes a ghost of a victim or something idk

joker pops up because duh and damian straight up kills him this makes life very easy from then on. this is during the ‘i am figuring out the no-kill rule’

damian is studying to be a VET

hes the one who brings duke thomas home btw

duke thinks alternate identity damian is cool. this is good for their bonding

duke and damian consesnually kidnap other children together and they also kidnap new pets together

catwoman is in on this

idk about the other kids theyre just there ig. dick and damian make a very good duo when bruce temporarily dies or w/e and yeah theyre so cool together

[faithblob-says-things]

[some-random-fandom-chick]

I saw this incredible piece of fanart last night and my amateur tarot reading ass was *inspired* so I wrote in the tags that I could write an essay on the incredible choices. Two of my friends saw this and dared me to go ahead and do it so uhhhh here's an essay about fanart and tarot, I guess???

Assigning Tarot cards to characters is nothing new and has varying levels of effectiveness depending on the person making the art and the person viewing/interpreting the art. This set in particular is intriguing and has definitely had a great deal of research and love put into it. For the sake of transparency, I'm sticking with the Raider-Waite interpretations of tarot we can talk history another time Dick Grayson: The Fool The Fool is the first card of the Major Arcana, assigned the number zero for, to borrow a quote from the persona series, "its limitless possibilities." Historically, before its links to fortune telling, Tarot was used to tell stories and as such, The Fool is the first chapter, it's the hero starting out their journey and is who we come back to at the end of the journey. The imagery reflects this; a young man wandering along a path and getting a little too close to the edge, a canine companion at his feet perhaps playing with him or maybe warning him of the danger. We can't see what's over the edge of that cliff, perhaps it's just a short drop into some grass or perhaps it's certain death and we get no signs from the Fool himself as he seems either unaware or unconcerned.

The general meaning of The Fool is that you are on a new path, you are starting a new journey, it could go well or it could go poorly it's all kind of up in the air right now what these being your first few steps. The Fool often also describes an innocent, spontaneous kind of person. The exact manner of its position in a spread combined with the question asked determines whether this is a positive, negative or neutral sign in general.

Now, for how this pertains to our favourite acrobat~

His journey with his parents and the circus ended tragically. However, a new one soon began as he was taken in by Bruce Wayne. Neither of them had any idea how this would go, weren't even sure they would even bond but they did. Dick Grayson created the legacy of Robin and truly started a whole new path the day he went out for his first patrol with his foster father; he truly embodied the traits and keyword of The Fool:

Innocence Spontaneous A New Spiritual Beginning

And given how he sassed constantly and was incredibly showy with his acrobatics even as a Smol™️ I think we can all agree that he embodies these key words and phrases. There's more but again, some of those key words and definitions depend more on specific placements in a spready and specific kinds of questions so I'm mostly using the general overview meanings of the cards.

Now fascinatingly Robin is The Fool but Dick Grayson, I believe, is the Reversed Fool especially as he gets older and starts to outgrow the ideal he created. The Reversed Fool is very negative thing; naive, poor and rash decisions, a lack of experience, impulsive, reckless, playing with fire and both a lack of compliance and obeying too much.

Dick absolutely flips to a Reversed Fool multiple times in his life and it's always when his personal world is about to shatter or has shattered. Realising he's outgrowing his father, not being adopted when Jason basically got adopted right away, surviving being raped twice, the loss of his team and friends as a result.

So yes, The Fool is utterly perfect for Dick Grayson, The Last Flying Grayson, The First Robin, Nightwing, The Next Leader of The Justice League

Jason Todd: Death Ah, Death, number 13, both a lucky and unlucky number depending on culture, the number is everywhere you look including, funnily enough, the average deck of playing cards. 13 cards per suit. Interestingly, playing cards were the predecessor to tarot for cartomancy.

Death is depicted as a skeletal figure in armor riding a white horse as he carries a black flag with a white flower insignia. There's corpses at the horse's hooves and a man, presumably a priest with the yellow robes, standing in front of him. Perhaps to drive Death back or perhaps to greet him, who can really say. All are standing on a riverbank.

The card itself carries several meanings, the main one yes being literal death and we could end Jason's section there but there is a great deal more to this choice. Death is a cycle not a definitive end. It is a sign that one cycle is ending and another is beginning, that much needed change is afoot and it is time to sit down and take stock of things. For Jason, he's been through this cycle multiple times; from street child to the son of a billionaire. He was the first to continue Robin and officially turn it from a one off into a mantle, a name and reputation to pass down. And then, he died and was quite literally reborn, wandering around as a catatonic or braindead corpse depending on your personal headcanon and which line of comics you're reading. And then he was reborn again thanks to the Lazarus Pit and has been through numerous cycles since then, again depending on which comics line you're reading and which games you're playing.

Jason is truly a man of Death.

As a survivor of poverty (and potentially domestic violence), he knew where to hide, where to get food and how to make money. And then he was caught stealing tires and the next cycle began.

As Robin, he was a breath of fresh air, known for his sweet attitude and often refusing to patrol until he'd done his homework. As powerful as Dick, likely picking up many of his little mannerisms as he learned the skills needed for a little boy to survive facing the many rogues of Gotham.

This cycle ended rather violently and abruptly.

As a body, part of him still held onto the ideals of Robin and as a protector. No one knew who he was, and he had no way of giving or remembering that information, but he had a reputation for beating up anyone disturbing the peace of whichever homeless camp he'd found himself in. All he needed was fire and some food and he was... as close to content as a catatonic person can be.

And then Talia arrived to kickstart the next cycle.

Red Hood was born in violence and fear and made his name in blood. He brought Death to those who refused to change and gave heavy warnings to those who hesitated and seemed stuck. And those who couldn't move onto their next cycle despite trying their hardest? Red Hood was the one to help them out and guide them to their next new beginning and give them the chance to leave old things behind.

And since then, that is the attitude he has stuck with, softening over time depending on storylines and writer. In many comics, he's fully reintegrated back into the family and a firm ally and in many others, he remains on the fringes still doing his own thing.

Interestingly, The Fool is considered Death's opposite with The Fool being beginnings and Death being considered an ending and isn't that just a fantastic way to paint the bond between the two brothers? Even across the varying Bat related medias, whether they're friends, family or foes, they are opposites of each other. Dick was bristly (mainly at Bruce) while Jason was literal sunshine. And now, Dick is a Leader while Jason is everything most of the Bats stand against.

Jason is not always happy with the changes he's been through but he never resits them so, unlike Dick, I believe he is not a reverse at any point. Jason never resists change, typically because he's never really given the chance to. He had no say in digging his way out of his grave or in his body being thrown into the Lazarus Pit and the less said about Gotham War the better. Jason is someone in constant flux, and so, perfect for the Death card.

Tim Drake: The Magician Now, some of my own biases may jump out here because Tim is my favourite of the male Robins.

The Magician is number 1 in the Major Arcana, the first ally the hero meets in the story and often, the catalyst of the plot. So it only stands to reason that the card also typically describes a person or a catalyst in a situation. The Magician stands in a garden with a table at his side. On the table are items of power; a wand, a chalice, a sword and a pentacle, the signs of the Minor Arcana. He holds a wand in his hand as the infinity symbol sits above his head. A man of power and knowledge but in a slightly different way to the other knowledge based Major Arcana cards.

This card is a beginning. It is power, focus, action, transformation and mastery of a kind of wisdom.

And doesn't that just describe our favourite little stalker to a T~?

Tim is the catalyst that brings Robin back to Batman's side and keeps Batman from drowning in grief after the loss of Jason. Tim himself transformed a few times as he gained experience and mastered the skills needed to assist the city during the 90s as the digital age arrived. He learned to fight, he learned to negotiate, hack, not trust books by their cover (sometimes the woman is in fact the villain and not a hostage... the 90s were very weird and so was he and not always in a good way) and even eventually gained a team of his own.

Tim is constantly taking action, age and experience just help him hone those skills and temper them with his intellect. This shows much better by the time he takes up the name Red Robin, a suit and mantle he stole from a terrible man so that any questionable choices he made would not be connected to Robin and therefore, to Dick. Tim is in the middle of the action for many huge plots in his run as Robin: Knightfall, Contagion, Legacy, Cataclysm, No Man's Land, just to name a few. And each time, he is tested and comes out of it with a whole new understanding of himself.

Much like Dick, Tim also flip flops between the Upright and Reverse meanings of The Magician but his changes aren't as clear cut. Because yes, he has hidden talent but at the same time, his planning isn't always the best (especially in the earlier days) and I think we can all agree that he has some control issues. He has bouts of selfishness and depression and arrogance. The former is understandable for a 13 year old and the latter two are kind of expected with the vigilante lifestyle and the amount of people he's lost over universes and timelines, and also he's the second best detective in the world, the arrogance, annoying as it can be, is unfortunately well earned.

Tim is in the unique position of being both the upright and the reverse all at once usually at the same time. Because of course he is.

Damian Wayne: The Hanged Man Oh Damian, the layers you have are intriguing and you do not deserve the hate you get.

The Hanged Man is number 12, considered a powerful number in folk practice as well as maths. We are at the halfway point of the story, our hero has been through some trouble and is now forced to stop and take stock and finally think.

A man hangs upside down from a tree, tied there by one ankle, leaving another leg to swing freely. Both arms are also free. Perhaps he was strung up, perhaps he asked for assistance to do this. There is inspiration from mythology here, primarily Odin of Norse mythology. There are quite a few meanings here: you are either already unstuck (upright) or need to get yourself unstick (reverse), you either need to pause or sacrifice. The Hanged Man is both simple and something of a paradox and as a result, can be a tricky card to properly read when it does turn up.

And stuck or recently unstuck is pretty fitting for Damian.

He was very much stuck in an awful situation with the League of Assassins. Yes, it may be a group that fights for the natural world but it is still a cult of assassins and killers. Damian was born into a cult and he will spend the rest of life getting himself unstuck from the various ideas and behaviours he learned whilst there. He has learned to let go of things, he has sacrificed many of his original ideals and therefore some personal ties, he was on the path to being a sacrifice and was able to get out and back to his family.

He was the reverse of this card; unsatisfied, bored, listless, he was sacrificing so much of himself for the ideals of his mother and grandfather, he was stuck and there was no resolution and frankly, he wasn't looking for one and didn't believe anything was wrong.

And he is now the upright; altruism, commitment, flexibility, adaptability, breaking the past. He's gained a new unique perspective on things, he gaining independence and either been through unwanted changes or was part of the unwanted change. Damian absolutely embodies this card and all of its paradoxes and complexities. I would provide more canon proof if I had a greater level of familiarity with it so unfortunately, his entry remains short.

And it absolutely makes sense that The Magician is its opposite; The Magician being of action and The Hanged Man being contemplation and Pause.

In conclusion, OP, you're fantastic and when my brain isn't partially fried, I might try and figure out where darling Stephanie sits in regards to the Major Arcana
