MY SHINING STARRRRR

[punkeropercyjackson]

Robin!Duke Thomas headcanons/rewrite because i'm in my feelings about him.If you think Duke's not a 'core Batkid' DNI and take your segregation somewhere else

He's the 5th Robin instead of Damian and The Riddler plot still happened but Elaine and Doug got jokerized during it so Bruce adopted Duke way earlier and he was 11 at the time

He is also trans,autistic,femme and afropunk!!2nd and 4th are canon coding but it's explicit here.Egg cracked pre-meeting Bruce so trans Batdad gets trans Batson gender affirming care like puberty blockers and makes sure nobody misgenders him.His Robin suit is Tim's Btas suit for proper repurposing,though it's adjusted from tighties to shorts and the pants/leg parts are ripped and the gloves are fingerless for that alt look

Alfred loves feeding him sweets and Duke always gives him the most adorable star eyes and thanks him because he may be rude but he'll be damned if he's mean to his granddad(his favorite sweets are lemon flavored frosted animal crackers)

He was pretty traumatized by loosing his parents and resisted Bruce's parentage at first due to it but came to embrace it as ultimately he's still a little boy who needs a parent to love and care for him.Bruce's reveal of his own orphan status certainly opted him to give him more of a chance but like a true Batkid,he never stops rebelling despite his unstoppable love for him

He arrives post-Under The Red Hood(movie compliant)but during Batgirl 2000(less racist and gayer)timeline wise so he bonds with Cass,Stephanie and Tim and they invite him on hangouts with 'the big kids' and Young Justice takes in Duke as an honorary little brother similarly to how Traya is treated as their little sister.Stephanie shows Duke all kinds of cool funky/cutesy/edgy things she's into which rub off on him per black siblings bonding and Cass seeks to protect Duke in addition and in thanks to him for teaching her some stuff about 'normalcy',like introducing her to arts and crafts and candy bars.Duke's Batgirl is not Babs,although they do get along-It's Tam and we'll get to that in a bit

Duke employs his powers in his Robin work and it earns him the nickname 'The Robin Signal' in reference to how often he uses his light to guide citizens to safety after him and Bruce take out the danger

His first solo/Year One Run is 'Robin 2007',literally,to distinct from Tim's run that wouldn't end for two more years.They got a crossover mini ofc ofc and it was called 'Robins 2009'

Robin 2007 had 53 issues and featured the introduction of Duke's love interest,albiet her debut as her own character was a good while before it in Aquaman:Luna 'Aquagal' Vásquez!!Luna is the Starfire to Duke's Robin i.e a black non-human girl who's bubbly,soft and princess-y but also extremely hardcore,well-hardend and lowkey mean and his longtime best friend from his sidekick days he's a slowburn perfect MADE soulmateisms couple with!!Their ship name is Thomquez but they're purely platonic until their mid-teens when new feelings ignite and riple into existense.Luna had her own run,Aquagal 2007 <3 Robin/Aquagal:Pals in Disguise was a super cute jumbo issue too!!(Notes:Luna is afro-argentinian,half atlantean half human and has white parts in black hair in a pattern that make her look like she has a constant moonglow halo on her)

Also Duke ships Stephcass so hard😭He was ooo'ing and making cheeky comments as soon as he figured out what was going on when Tim pointed it out to him and NEVER stops until they actually get together,which dosen't happen until Duke-yes,11-12 year old Duke-is an adult.He gives Cass tips on how to rizz up Stephanie after talking to Stephanie to figure out what would work best(turns out Stephanie really likes goth x pastel dynamic images/videos,mocking cheesy flirty memes,whimsical love quotes and X-Ray Spex lyrics)

Duke owns a walkman Tim gifted him and talks into it as a 'Robinlog' and it pops up frequently throught his entire existense as a character as soon as he gets it.Duke is also a big fan of My Chemical Romance,hip hop and disco music,black indie shit,classical literature(canon),video games,writing poetry and 'cutesy' diy(bedazzling,scrapbooking,homemade stickers,etc)!!As he grows up he takes up solarpunk bit by bit and same with glamrock!

Duke got exactly one year as Batman's Robin.On his one year adoption anniversary,him and Bruce had a fight over a case that scared him so bad he thought he was gonna fire him like he'd done to Stephanie so he ran away in the dead of night,straightup out of Gotham City(he was also smart enough to pack an oversized backpack of essentials to carry with him).He was found as the sun set as he tried to sleep in a cat alley with a family of fat calico cats he'd been taking care of on his lap by a 20 year old Jason,his departure taking place during Volume 2 of Red Hood and The Outlaws,a 2010-2020 release 120 issues run that takes place over 3 in-universe years.They have a short conversation that leads to Jason finding out Duke is his brother and combined with knowing he has nowhere else to go at the moment and Summer's(my dcsona)yapping about him thanks to their friendship,takes him with him to The Fortress,The Outlaws' base.Duke joins the team and finally makes friends his age in the other Kid Outlaws(which includes other black kids of all genders!!)but Jason is the member he's closest to

Luna comes in a significant amount of Rhato issues and even enough to be an honorary Kid Outlaw but mostly sticks to Aquafam stuff to avoid reducing her down to Duke's love interest.Duke isn't forced to kill but is a brutalist in his tactics thanks to growing up beating up bullies,Bruce's training and the influences around him and it scares him sometimes so he vents and asks for reassurance and they all gladly give it to him,including Luna,who tells him:'You could never be a monster or evil,Duke.You'll always be my best friend in the ENTIREST MULTIVERSE.And even if you were a monster or evil?I'd save you.You saved me when i didn't know i needed somebody to be heroes with to go on.I'd go there-ANYWHERE! for you too'Least to say,Duke is pretty sure this is the point he started seeing Luna in a different light(a girlfriend light.From 'I need her' to 'I need her to be my babygirl')(in the aave way.don't be weird)

The Kid Outlaws are a bunch of punk ass kids with a thirst for anarchistic justice,the fall of the crime system and extra thick milkshakes.They got the punk drips(including piercings done by the adult Outlaws!!)and everything and call eachother siblings and Duke is their leader despite being the youngest as he's the most capable and suited for the job.The KO includes Thad so they're kinda a 'sparkly sunshine boy/bad but sad boy' buddies duo and their inhereted powers and legacies are a source of bonding along with just liking eachother as people.Duke calls him 'The Thadman' and Thad had no choice but to warm up to it and Thad gets Duke to try out energy drinks with him and they collect trinkets and graffiti public property together and them and Jason are Prime Earth's variant of that picture of three black trans guys who just got their top surgeries all smiling together with bandages on their upper bodies

Duke and Jason are so inseperable.They do soul bounding over soul/dominican food(their 'this and yap' /hj),help eachother with hair care(Duke has a twists out and Jason is a dreadhead),are inside jokes lockout between them and their girlfriends,share a bed more often than not,play Animal Crossing religiously together and even got matching icons in The Outlaws group chat(set to Aang and Zuko because they're literally them!!'If we knew eachother back then,do you think we could have been friends,too?' is how Duke feels about Robin!Jason to Red Hood!Jason,,,,,).Jason loves Duke so fucking much and can't stop himself from doting on him and hyping him up nonstop and encouraging him to stop holding back his rage and impulses and jumping people for him and stealing/diy'ing gifts for him a lot and Duke does the classic 'i make fun of you to show you i think you're the coolest ever and how important you are to me' little brother moves to Jason and is protective of him back as he feels he deserves it after all he's done for him and will eternally do for him,most of all making him feel secure in his Robinhood(ha!!)

All the overexposure to so much and such intense science-y proterties and magic jazz and trazz caused Duke's powers to mutate from just dark and light powers to straight up reality warping(to add onto them-he still has his og power palette,it's too iconic to leave out).He gets stuck in a pocket dimension for a hot sec but Summer and Jason pull him out with Thad's help as an expert on that situation.The universe was trying to create the New 52 but Duke's Robinhood was stopping it so in a 20 issue arc to symbolize the 20 core Outlaws aka the 'Outlawed Robin Arc',even the slimest posibility of the N52 ever happening is erased headfirst headon by our titulary gang!Including Honorary Outlaw for two and a half months at the time Tam aka Batgyal!She awoke from her RR2009 coma and it lead to escapades of adventures with both Tim and Stephanie and she was given her own mantle by Luke,who thought it was about time she joined him officially and was her secret keeper on her vigilante life and sneak offs to reunite with Duke as her initial only motivation

In issue 39,Jason snarks he was just 'The Replacement Robin' and Duke defensively cuts him off with 'You were always my favorite Robin when i was little!I never even got to see you in action but you're my favorite for good now!' and Jason is struck clueless,completely unable to come up with a response but touched beyond words on top of his shock.And in issue 110,Duke sadly says '.........I was never a real Robin.I've been with you guys way longer than i ever was with Bruce-' and Jason cuts him off with 'Yeah,no shit you were never Batman's Robin.You're The Outlaws' Robin-You're my Robin and you always have been and you always will be' and Duke gets extremely teary but does a toothy grin too as they're happy tears so Jason smothers him in a hug in comfort and Duke's face takes up most of the final page and a text box reads on the same one:'Duke Thomas is happy.Jason Todd is happy again,thanks to him.They're eachother's Robin,on purpose and by choice'

When Rhato concludes(and The Outlaws stay in touch forever),Duke comes back to Gotham to discover Damian's now Robin and literally laughs at the ridicilousness of the situation,quipping he's glad he already had a new mantle in mind and offers him a hat he thrifted when they meet,along with a smile and affection in his eyes.Damian snatches it from him,huffy and embarrased over the unexpected warm welcome by him but appreciate it and liking the hat only in secret(a yellow one with floppy cat ears strings and an edgy styled strawberry charm).Robins and Batgirls(2022-2023)was a helluva run starring Dick,Jason,Tim,Stephanie,Duke,Damian,Maps,Babs,Cass,Tam,Alysia and Nell and Jason's the only one who got thirst trap covers as it should be(Okay that's a lie,there were Stephcass thirst trap covers too LMAO.Faggot rights!!)

Duke has two core runs post-Robin:The Signal(2020-)and The Lights(2021-),the latter of which is his own team!!The members are Luna as Moonguide and his right-handwoman,Kiran Singh from the Wonderfam,Tanya Spears aka Power Girl ||,Jenni Ognats/XS,Mar'i Grayson/Nightstar,Jennifer Williams/Batika,Sin Harper as Arrowette ||| and the team baby,Darla Dudley as Shazam Girl and two upcoming ocs,a black male Star Sapphire who had his heart broken by a white girl💔and an X-Gene mutant from Earth 616 who ran away from their home dimension!!Duke's reputation as Robin proceeds him as it increases the shenanigans both in his civillian life and as The Signal and Thomquez are my fave classic black love tropes:'Thick baddie who stays keeping her mans fed' and 'Cocky ahh and playful but sweet and soft black dude who accidentally comes across as mocking x Nerdy feminine black girl who's not mean but pretends to be annoyed by his flirting with her because she's too embarrased to admit she actually likes him'.They do matching superhero names as adults to show they're married:Eris(Duke)and Selene(Luna)

Naturally,Duke is enrolled at Gotham Academy at now 15 and he mentors Maps when she comes along,including playing his game of Batwingman for her and Damian.Big hit with the GA girlies but unfortunately for them he only likes Luna and dudes who're mean to him(Woah,he's bisexual!I knew that!Also a Sonic The Hedgehog fan and his faves are Amy Rose,Shadow The Hedgehog and Sticks The Badger and he stans Penny Parker and draws gijinka fanart.Before i forget he also had his own youtube channel pre-Rhato and all his subscribers thought he died and he became a Creepypasta-)

And Batburger is his childhood happy place dating back to pre-Jokerization.He still visits Doug and Elaine and met Gnonom in Rhato only to pull a Percy Jackson and be spiteful and tell him off for his abandonment with zero forgiveness but realistically was still sad and hurt over his neglect so he let himself cry when he got back to The Fortress so Jason and Summer took him to Batburger to cheer him up and that led to his first visit to his parents in a long ass time.It and Batburger trips are part of his lifestyle obligatorily bi-monthly now

Oh the Gotham Police still hate him btw.He does all the work they gaslight people into thinking they do and none of the racism and assaults😔

Pride month

Bruce: Alfred, it's time.

Gotham City media: Batman has been seen in his pride month suits, it's wonderful to see Batman support the lgbtq+ community.

Jason: glad you support the gays, but when are you gonna lose the underwear over those suits? It's embarrassing.

Dick, stitching up Wally's suit again (he's inpatient y'all): he won't, the underwear is for the gays.... Don't look at Meower (Twitter but own by our queen Catwoman), my eyes can't unseen the thirst traps

Bruce: I'm just supporting my gay kids, is that so bad?

Tim: yes, mixing Brucie Wayne and Batman thirst traps, horny comments, and the league and villains blowing up your work phone I use is horrible... Aunt Diana shouldn't be calling you baby girl in front of my own eyes.

Steph: also homophobic you wearing that, nah, not on my watch I'm going to make suits so gay so cunty you will serve so bad joker will go to jail without fuss.

Cass: thank god, if I have to see those underwear again I will unadopted myself from embarrassment.

Bruce: the first suit was a good suit, haters gonna hate.

Them: ew... Stop

Duke: hey steph of not too overwhelming, think you can make all of us pride suits?

Steph: on it. Excuse me loser I have a job to do.

Dick: do you want to fix dipshits suit for me?

Steph: your boyfriend your duty to fix his shit.

Dick: he's lucky he's pretty.

Damian: Stephanie, a word on my suit colors... I think I want the trans flag.

Steph: is this you coming out or supporting trans kids?

Damian:... Both.

8 amazing trans books for trans day of visibility!

[vulnonapixes-dc-corner]

Whilst I don't really headcanon Tim as trans, I could totally see tim fake their dead and resurface as a woman a few months later.

Like she faked her dead as Timothy Drake, who got murdered by lex Luther during an meeting and came back as Dorothy Wayne, new adopted daughter of Bruce Wayne.

People say that she was adopted because Bruce was grieving or that she is the result of an one night stand, but the rumor mill was taken down pretty quickly by the Wayne enterprise.

Dorothy works as an photographer and takes the most inspiring and hopefully photos of Gotham .

Also sibling time:

Damian did the most research out of everyone. Like he is a product of his raising and is still doing his best to relearn everything. He came to the decision that his "brother" was such a disgrace to their family cause she had to act like a man. He also tried to help her find a new name by leaving small notes with various names on her stuff.

Duke was extremely happy to her coming out, cause it meant that she was trusting them. Not that he ever questioned her, but the bats have a weird way of showing trust.

Stephanie just knew. Like she didn't even blink and literally answered "nice"

Cassandra is also extremely supportive, calling her "little sister", "pretty girl" and stuff. She is also the reason why the rumor mill was destroyed.

Jason helped her with faking her death. Like, she came to him asking if he wanted to murder Timothy Drake and he got really worried for a second. She explained, they hugged and got lex into prison.

Babara is the one that coordinated all the surgeries and medical appointments.

Dick cried when she told him and then laid all his love to her. He then gave her the numbers to all the make up/hair/nail salons he trusts

On the boyfriend part:

Both Bernhard and Kon are just so in love. Like even more as before, cause their partners is finally her true, happy self.

Even if Bernhard had joked that they are now the proper thing high school romance drama.

(Kon kissed him silly after that)

DC AU where everything is the same except it's in Brazil

okay okay that's a good one!

Gotham = Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Metropolis = Fortaleza (CE), Central City = Brasilia (DF), Star City = Salvador (BA), Bludhaven = São Gonçalo (RJ) i know looking at the images it doesn't make much sence but trust me

The Kents are from the backlands of Ceará, but Clark moved to Fortaleza in search of work years later as an adult.

The Waynes are subcelebrities and have CERTAINLY already had about 7 false exposures that gave them a headache to deny on our late Xwitter (X + Twitter, it's a meme)

Jason is definitely the kind of person who refuses to go to McDonald's, but instead, every weekend he and the Outlaws +Duke go to a favela diner owned by some old lady he met when he was homeless, and each of them eats, like, three Brazilian-style hot dogs.

Indigenous Wonderfam, Black/Mixed Batfam (yes even Bruce. the only exeption is Cass and Damian are still Asian/Arabian, just mixed) and Superfam and i don't know the others well enough to tell

memelord Steph but by accident she's just too silly

Tim had a YouTube gameplay channel as a kid, but he lost the password and so he created a new one to post his theories. Every couple of months Steph reminds him of this and he's two seconds away from deleting it by hacking YouTube out of embarrassment, but he knows she has the videos downloaded.

sorry this is mostly just batfam lmao it's the media i have more contact with but i'll try to remake this post in the future ^^

[punkeropercyjackson]

Jason makes it his life's mission to be Duke's number one support.Duke's hungry?He already has things like food bars,drink boxes,etc with him he started carrying specifically for him and if there's a kitchen near you bet your ass he's going to it to cook him a full meal.Duke needs a sparing partner?He's already in a fighting stance before he finishes the sentence.Duke wants to play video games?Jason either joins him as his Player 2 or carefully listens to him enthutiastically infodump as he plays.Duke's feeling insecure about his Robin status?Jason tells him what a paragon of the mantle he is and how no matter the time or reality,he'll always choose him and no one else as his Robin.Duke can't sleep?He lays down with him as his weighted blanket and dosen't leave until he's slumbering safe and sound.Duke needs backup on troublemaking?Jason had The Outlaws' tech build them matching beepers so he could have him on speeddail.Duke needs anything for any reason or just wants something?Jason will give it to him and refuse not to no matter who or what tries to stop him.Duke is Jason's whole not world but multiverse bro.His lil Sun Pocket

[batboopp]

transphobic parents will be like “this is our beautiful daughter Brittany💕” and Brittany looks like this

[oldmannapping]

Fic: Misunderstandings (2/2)

Summary: Jason comes out in the Batfamily chat. Everyone is super chill about it.

Excerpt:

Jason:

I’ve realised I’m owed several years’ worth of backdated Pride Month gifts. I’m registered with Park Row Armoury and Explosives but will also accept donations in my name to Gotham’s Emergency Food Relief Centre and The Trevor Project.

Tim:

Pride Month gifts aren’t a thing.

Jason:

That’s very transphobic of you to say

[anime-villian-irl]

Okay but Jason but trans femme aromantic and a lesbian owns my heart. She is real nowhere but my mind but gods she is glorious.
