timkon fans we do NOT talk about this parallel enough like

what do you mean in one world kon died and tim adopted his colors to honor and mourn him

and in another world, tim is the one who died and kon adopted his robin mantle in all but name and moved to gotham and started working with batman in order to honor and mourn tim.

like...wow. they are so normal about each other :)

The Duality of a Silly Character

I not joking when say these to Kon panels were back-to-back, as in their comic panels, one of them, was on top of the other. There is meme potential here/

it's actually wild how well-written kon's self-loathing is whenever he's angsting over tana, cuz it's like, he thinks he's the reason why it always goes bad. it's never tana's selfishness, or her inability to catch spence's game, or her being so hard on kon despite his very blatant social ineptitude. it's heartbreaking bc it's not all him, but he never really sees that. even when he's dying in infinite crisis, somehow it's always him that's in the wrong and has to do the fixing. im so sorry the gods hate you, kon 😭

A common question I hear every other week about Clark and Kon in Superboy '94 is "Why didn't Clark take Kon in when he came back to life, and if not Clark, literally anybody else to keep him safe from Rex etc." which is FAIR question that can be answered fairly easily.

1.) Clark genuinely believed that Kon was in good hands. Clark had a very friendly relationship with Dubbilex and trusted him to be able to keep a close eye on Kon and keep him generally out of trouble. Unfortunately Dubbilex was lukewarm at best.

2.) He genuinely didn't know about most of the things that happened, because the writers kept them both Clark and Kon generally segregated into their own comics. It's just the story the writers wanted to tell.

3.) Clark had experience with Cadmus clones in the past and knew how adaptive and quick they were to function and thrive as their own independent people. He assumed Kon would have no difficulty.

Superboy's solo is a very compelling series with a lot of nuance, and while I would struggle to call it 'good' or even recommend it for casual reading, there is a lot going on behind the scenes that explains why things are LIKE that.

My Secret Skele-kon gift from @crow-eyed! They had the wonderful prompt of Kon having a mullet and it just spoke to me immediately! :3c

It was so much fun to draw and Kon having any long hairstyle is something I enjoy a lot as well. I hope you like it, Crow!

everyone who thinks kon is cool is being brainwashed by kon himself. kon wants you to think he is cool. he’s a loser. i love him anyways though
