i appreciate the hc that jason no longer smokes because he died by smoke inhalation but have you considered he has never had a good coping mechanism ever and would have just added this onto his Fucked Up Shit To Do And Not Think About Too Deeply-post revival bingo card
- I mentioned before that I think Izzy is the one who thinks everything is a date, her preferred love language is quality time so for dates Duke always likes to walk home with her or just sit in a park together
- more often than not they will lose track of time and talk for hours. they never seem to run out of things to talk about either, from that movie Duke watched last night to the dumb meme Izzy scrolled past this morning or even a surprisingly heated debate over the objectively best pokemon (eelektross vs lucario)
- they'll always end up talking in the weirdest places too (like the middle of a roundabout or the elevator to a fancy hotel neither of them have heard of) but they don't really mind or notices when Izzy's hour 2 of her 'why all her partners need to binge watch cowboy bebop on their next movie night' rant or Duke ranking all his fictional crushes (Storm is number one followed closely by Ben 10)
- Duke and Dax have the most similar music taste of any of the group, most of their dates are looking around music store (cuz when your in a poly relationship of five at least one of you collects records) or going to live gigs together. Duke has consistently been to every single frown clown gig (except a few that he missed due to missions). Dax usually invites any of his partners in the audience onto the stage during the last song of every show and at this point any frown clown fans or regulars in the gotham hardcore scene recognise at least one or two members of the polycule.
- even tho Duke and Dax have the most similar music tastes Duke still prefers metal while Dax prefers punk music.
- Duke and Dax's first kiss was definitely at a batman's @#$& concert
- Dre and Duke butt heads most out of all the polycule, they don't really connect in the same way as the rest of the partners, and didn't really consider themselves dating until the polycule had been around for about a year.
- despite this they did work hard to improve their relationship and ended up falling for each other just as they fell for their other partners.
- Duke and Dre's dates are usually in the gym or doing some kind of physical activity, it started with Dre teaching Duke boxing when they were both robins and later Duke showed him fighting combos he practiced with Cass, eventually they started some different sports like rock climbing and trampolining (idk if those are considered sports tho) they always have this level of competition between them that they don't really have with any of their other partners. but it's sorta Duke and Dre's weird brand of love
- i think it was in my last post i mentioned that Duke has the weirdest date ideas, well Riko isn't far behind.
- a lot of the time their dates start out normal. they just rarely stay that way.
- like the time when they planned on having just a regular lunch date and ended up with them in metropolis, head to toe in superman merch and getting storage looks on the bus back to gotham. or that time they tried to recreate iconic kisses from movies and they ended up stuck on the roof of the wayne enterprises building with Harley Quinn and a box set of Powerpuff girls.
- people outside the polycule never believe them when they explain their dates to them but Izzy, Dax and Dre have gotten used to the special brand of chaos that comes with Riko and Dukes dates
this panel gets it across so well. kids all over Gotham in a fucking group chat putting together make shift robin costumes out of clothes in their closets. this is so fucking GRAH
i am having a great day then i remember there are people who don't view Batman: Son of The Demon and the canon bruce/talia characterisation and damian origin story.
batman does not have the right to kill ppl the same way cops should not have the right to kill ppl. the same way federal and state governments should not have the right to kill ppl. believe it or not murder is bad! also yes this DOES include the joker!
discourse about batman's no-kill rule is so funny. imagine if a dude was like "i personally will not commit any murders and if any of my kids do i will be unhappy" and everyone booed him
the fanon that dick was awful to his successors — being abusive to jason or mean to tim — is very funny to me because he categorically handled being replaced better than either of them did
The situation in Al-Shifa is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL. They're kidnapping people for torture and executing families on the spot. THIS CANNOT CONTINUE. TAKE ACTION NOW.
was scrolling through my notes and found a dump of words with one coherent sentence being "and even when i know the painting isn't about him i look for his life in the strokes of colour" and my sister looks over like "woah that's really romantic" and i had to go "thanks it's about batman"
