#the red rose

“The subplot with the red rose comes out of nowhere!”

Interesting… cuz I went back and checked Season 1…

Here’s a moment from Mel’s flashback when her mother Ambessa slices off the head of the princess of a conquered nation. Huh… that necklace sure looks familiar…

Oh yeah, cuz it’s the same one the Red Rose gives her in season 2. The very same pendant Mel uses to beat Ambessa with!

Oh and talk about foreshadowing? Here’s the same episode of Mel waking up from her nightmare. Her head is literally positioned where the pendant is in her abstract painting of the same scene.

And all the red paint splotches coming out and radiating from it look a lot like rose petals… it’s almost like they’re saying she’s at the heart of what that pendant means!

I dunno guys… upon looking back at Season 1 it sure as heck seems like they were planning this all along and it doesn’t come out of nowhere but was cleverly foreshadowed and alluded to before they went into greater detail in season 2…

The General of Alexandria, because there has never been a day when I haven't been a little bit a lot a bit obsessed with her. Pretty sure she was my awakening, you know? Or at least a part of.

But also, I just felt like she deserved actual pants, and a little bit of cleave coverage.

just imagining a teeny tiny tim being absolutely devastated about jason’s death, that he manages to get on to dark forums to contact a mercenary for a hit on the joker’s life.

and who happens to be that mercenary? deathstroke.

tim wires money from his (admittedly very high) allowance to slade, who finishes the job within the week — news outlets are going crazy as nobody knows who pulled off such a stunt — bruce is confused, and dick is both grateful, that someone took the bastard who killed his baby brothers life, and angry, because bruce wasn’t the one to do it.

slade however? wants to investigate, someone finally had the gall to order a hit on the joker and he’s a little curious to see who it is.

only come to find a little boy all alone in a big house who spends his nights following around a vigilante in a furry suit.

and, well, slade hasn’t been the best parent, and probably doesn’t know how to deal with an average kid, but who can blame him when he begins to train tim into becoming a mercenary just like him — after all, how else is he gonna defend himself on the streets of gotham when he gallivants around with an expensive camera, a sign basically saying ‘kidnap me!’ strapped to his chest?

so what if the kid becomes robin and uses those skills in the cape? that’s batman’s problem to figure out.

Wow, this one's very old fanart! Big Boy Beowolf

EDIT 12/18/24 - I didn't expect this one to be so popular! Out of curiosity, would folks be interested in a print version of this? Let me know via comment and I can get to work on prepping one up on my INPRNT!

A closeup because I love her.

For the record, I was also going to try out a totally different style when I started, but I got carried away and started colouring. Because I love her.
