Jason, to himself: If I can catch Tim off guard when he comes back from patrol he'll confess about breaking my favourite Wonder Woman's mug
Jason, as Tim wanders in: Got anything to confess??
Tim, very very high off Gotham Harbor fumes: Ra's pickled my spleen.

want to be clear that if i ever talk about a headcanon and then later discuss a headcanon that is directly contradictory to the first one, that’s because headcanons exist in a quantum state where they are all simultaneously true and not true up until the point where i discuss it in detail, in which case that is the one that is true in that instance. schroedinger’s headcanons

I feel like bruce has, in fact, killed the Joker. Many times, actually.
But every time someone resurrects him. And every time, he comes back a little less human and a little stronger.
The problem is that jason thinks bruce is lying just to get him to forgive bruce, but then when jason goes to get some sweet, sweet revenge, just a week later, he sees the joker again, alive.
Oh dang. I love that, anon. It also made me think of some sort of twisted dyad/curse where by killing Jason, Joker tied their souls together. So when Jason comes back, no one can kill the Joker without killing Jason too. Imagine being Jason and still wanting Joker dead after that, too.

“One of the most solid pieces of writing advice I know is in fact intended for dancers – you can find it in the choreographer Martha Graham’s biography. But it relaxes me in front of my laptop the same way I imagine it might induce a young dancer to breathe deeply and wiggle their fingers and toes. Graham writes: ‘There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.’”
— Zadie Smith (via campaignagainstcliche)

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol
#I’m rereading a fic I read multiple times a decade ago#i printed it out on the company copier in the glass walled mail room at my godawful borderline-illegal internship#trying desperately not to look over my shoulders to see if anyone could somehow tell that it was not work-related#I’m pretty sure I still have those printouts somewhere despite having moved 5 times since then#so don’t write off your readers bb

also. i think accusations that bruce became less affectionate because there were no more hugs, piggyback rides, etc etc following jason's death sometimes fail to take into account that it's not that bruce got *less* affectionate it's that bruce's way of displaying affection changed in accordance with *what was considered appropriate levels of affection between men* in the 90s.
bc if you honestly look at the way the relationship that develops between bruce + tim from alpod to knightfall it might not have all the hugs outside of when tim's mom died and it's An Appropriate Time for a Man Hug, but it has smiles and banter and jokes. it has bruce worrying over tim and comforting hands on shoulders. it has bruce sending tim's entire boarding school class across the world to japan *just* to keep tim safe from the joker when he returns. it has bruce racing back to the manor at the thought of alfred and tim in danger there. it has cute nicknames and quiet pride. bruce is still falling in love with every woman who's nice to him for 2 seconds. he doesn't actually start being more of a distant asshole to everyone (not just tim) until the knightfall event and the knightfall event + the breaking of the bat was designed to make him grittier and harsher. and even then *as he's being colder* there's still all for one handshake with dick and tim in knightsend. there's still the worry over tim in contagion and legacy. there's the teasing, loving family moments in gotham knights. honestly if you compare it the amount of affection that tim receives from bruce is similar to and pretty much almost at the level of the affection bruce gives to *dick* during this era (probably not quite as much, but it's very similar in *how* bruce shows affection to both and it is similar in scope).
and it makes sense that they toned down the overt physical affection. they always would have. batman and robin still got constant gay jokes in the 90s as people moved further away from socially acceptable affection between man due to the stigma of homosexuality especially in the 90s following the aids crisis. batman's open affection for robin was *always* going to get toned down.
also if you're trying to sell comics to 14 year old boys, as they were, the last thing they were going to put in was a teenage character being treated with affection that seemed babyish to most teenagers back then. also with the popularity of the batman movies, they were also going to pander to the movie fans who wanted things to be more serious. hugs outside of An Appropriate Solemn Moment were NOT going to fly.

I feel like a lot of people don’t quite get what a butler is. The role tends to get rounded off to ‘male servant’ pretty regularly in some media, whereas actually butlers are typically not just servants but chief servants. The butler was generally in charge of either all male servants or just all servants, period, in the household of an aristocrat or other very wealthy person. This meant that butlers have often been fairly powerful and influential people, and sometimes even had a manservant or two of their own.
(Also, fun fact: Mary Roberts Rinehart, the early 20th century mystery writer who is widely credited with popularizing the whole ‘the butler did it’ trope was nearly murdered by one of her own servants, a chef whom she had passed over for promotion to butler. He came at her with a pistol, but it jammed, allowing her chauffeur time to wrestle it away and restrain him.)

Sladick Comic Index
Hello Sladick fandom! I'm pretty new to American comics and I find them pretty damn confusing but I still wanted to read about this beloved ship. So I decided to compile this list! It took several days of cross-searching timelines for both characters and bless be whoever runs the DCGuide because it saved me!
Without further ado, here's the list you might need if you want to read solely about Slade and Dick's interactions ;^) (although they may not directly interact in some, they could just appear in the same issue or be referenced, but sshh)
