i’ve been on a damian-jason brotherhood kick lately but specifically like. weirdly close damian and jason. codependent to the point where it’s starting to get on the rest of the family’s nerves. they’re used to relying on each other in the league and now that they’re in gotham together they just revert back to their oddly dependant ways and everybody else just watches them coexist in slightly jealous fascination.
-jason tastes every piece of food damian is given to check for poison. even if alfred makes it. its not even a belief that damian could be poisoned, it’s just second nature and damian’s used to handing over a small bite and waiting for the nod to go ahead and eat.
-damian uses jason’s body like a climbing frame whenever he feels like it. they don’t exchange words half the time, he just decides he wants to sit on jason’s shoulders so that’s where he puts himself. jason’s used to being halfway through making himself a coffee and suddenly having to readjust his weight, or hold out an arm so damian can use it as a branch to climb up with. they don’t even notice they do it.
-jason picks damian up from school every day. they go out afterwards just the two of them and never bother inviting the others to eat with them. dick has literally ran into them when they by chance ended up in the same cafe and he watched the two pick a booth as far away from him as possible.
-when people are checking for if jason is around the manor they don’t even bother calling for him, they just ask if damian’s home or not, because if damian isn’t home then jason won’t be either.
-damian knows how to cook exactly one dish and it’s jason’s comfort food.
-one time damian crashed the fuck out at school and refused to come out from under a table, and when the teachers eventually gave up and called his guardian to help handle him, bruce just sighed and said ‘you want his brother’s number, i’ll email you it.’
-damian only ever falls asleep on jason. one time after he fell asleep next to jason on the couch, jason got up to grab a drink and when he got back tim had taken his spot, so he sat on an armchair instead. seven seconds later damian woke up, kicked tim in the side like a rabbit, moved to the armchair with jason, and fell asleep again.
-duke once saw jason tie damian’s shoelaces because damian didn’t want to pause reading a case file to do them himself
-Damian: can somebody help me reach this shelf?
Dick: sure i can-!
Damian: no.
Dick:
Damian: *stares at Jason pointedly*
Jason: ……yeah ok. coming.
Dick:
-one time alfred asked if anyone needed anything from the store and damian declared ‘todd needs new socks.’ and jason just went ‘oh do i?’ and when damian nodded he said to alfred ‘yeah i could do with a pack of socks?’
-jason has kept all of damian’s baby teeth. they’re in a tin kept under his ammo stash.
just those two having a connection that continuously baffles yet resigns the family to the fact that they have to deal with those two codependent idiots 24/7
Thank you for the 10 years and thanks Bells Hells for this adventure!
Updated this 8th anniversary piece to include Braius and did some small fixes.
you know it really isnt immoral, if you do it right, to raise cows and sheep for meat. so. well. i think there should be a story about, vampires who have a town of humans that they keep well-maintained, so long as the humans donate their blood once a month, like vampire blood farm stuff
but instead of antagonistic everyone's like. no he's a nice man you leave the count alone. he keeps us safe and cared for and he just needs a lil snack now and then, it dont hurt anyone. like a cow that loves the farmer and the farmer that loves the cow, even with both knowing one will end up on the other's table. because its like. its like. cows just have such pretty eyes, you know? they love you so much. i think it should be like that
the campaign i was playing my archfey warlock, Kairos, ended this past sunday so i decided to draw her post-game after her twins were born.
the imagined context for this drawing is that Kairos was returning home from a guild party and in her not so sober state, tackled her husband the moment she saw him. the twins decided it was fun and joined in
lil notes for any curious:
her husband's name is Gul'iard Wynfina, kids are unnamed however
Kairos was born human and named Helena Rivers, got isekai'ed (with her phone) into a half drow woman by her patron and took on the name Kairos Clerosis, wound up as Kairos Otsut after kinda becoming a demon and only got the name Kairos Wynfina post-game
Gul'iard was actually the first enemy the party really fought and killed together ( don't worry, he got better!)
the twin in the sprigatito pjs is male, the one with the cape is female
during the game, thanks to magic bean shenanigans, Kairos actually had a sprigatito hence the pjs; Gul'iard had a little hamster/gopher familiar that was dressed as a lil knight
if she looks familiar that's because the art i used for Kairos' token post becoming a demon was Ines from Arknights
The first time the JL met Marvel was during an alien invasion in Metropolis. The hero was new, and quite cheery whenever they interacted with him. He was like Superman 2.0., but more red and somehow more of a Boy Scout. In fact, speaking of Superman, the meshed together like peanut butter and jelly. Anyways, back to the point, when they first met him he was new and seemingly, emphasis on seemingly, naïve and inexperienced.
So, they tried to help him, much to Billy’s hidden annoyance. And he was annoyed! He won’t deny that. They were treating him like a newbie!
Like, the time Superman came to Fawcett and started critiquing every single thing he did in a fight against Captain Nazi.
Marvel and Captain Nazi(CN): *fighting*
Supes: *just hovering to the side*
CN: *throws a car*
Marvel: *catches it and puts it down*
Supes: “You know, you could’ve thrown that back at him?”
Marvel: “What?” *gets distracted and last minute dodges a punch, proceeds to fly far away from Captain Nazi*
Supes: *follows after him* “I’m saying you could’ve thrown the car back at him. Or the lamppost he threw you earlier. Or the hotdog stand.”
Marvel: “Why would I do that?”
CN: *flying after him*
Marvel: “What if he breaks it? That’s someone’s stuff. Or what if he deflects it? Property damage can kick your behind. How do you not know that?”
Supes: “Does your city not pay for it? Then again…”
…he was new, Clark thought. It would make sense for the city not to cover him yet.
Marvel: “What? Why would they? Wouldn’t that mess up taxes?”
Supes: “Now that I think about it, it really should.”
Clark was amazed as to how his taxes or rent never went up, no matter how much destruction happened in Metropolis.
Or the time Batman tried helping him diffuse a bomb even though Billy has had plenty experience already. They were at an alien site and trying to diffuse an alien bomb though so he supposed he could give him the benefit of the doubt.
Even if it was annoying.
Marvel: *squats down and rips off bomb lid*
Batman: “Careful.”
Marvel: “Careful what?” *looking at a bunch of wires*
Batman: *peers over his shoulder* “We don’t have enough informa—”
Marvel: “Uh huh uh huh.” *barely listening and snaps a blue wire with his fingers*
Solomon: *blabbling instructions*
Batman: *startles and jumps back*
Marvel: *gives him a look before snapping another two wires*
Batman: *baffled at how they aren’t literally dead, and wondering if Billy’s run into this tech before*
Marvel: *snaps one more wire and bomb powers off* “Alright.” *stands back up* “Man, I am starving. Your city has his joint called Bat-Burger, right? Is it good?”
Batman: “…Yes.” *somehow had a blank face but still conveying that he thinks Marvel is crazy*
Billy honestly didn’t know why he thought so. Sivana’s had more complicated stuff fit for random Tuesdays instead of long, dastardly plots or invasions.
Free Billy from these shackles of people thinking he’s a newbie as if he hasn’t done this longer than them.
Damian Wayne gets caught by the press while sneaking away and hanging out in civilian clothing with Red Hood and Bruce finding out they know each other isn’t even his biggest problem. his biggest problem is that the interviewer asked what his connection is to the crime lord and why they have on camera the guy calling Damian ‘habibi’, and, panicking about whether or not Bruce seeing this interview could leak Jason’s identity, to throw him off the trail Damian said that Red Hood is his parent.
Interviewer: wait. but… i thought that Bruce Wayne was your biological father?
Damian, panicking even more because both Jason and Bruce would kill him if people thought that Brucie Wayne was the Red Hood’s identity: what, don’t you support trans people? Hood was my mother.
Jason only finds out what Damian did when after a week of confusedly nodding at the trans pride pins people kept wearing and pointing out to him on the street, and Damian refusing to look him in the eye, Nightwing shows up during patrol crying laughing about how Bruce Wayne got asked during a gala about his secret affair with a crime lord and held his champagne glass so tightly it exploded in his hands.
Bruce, on the other hand, got sent the interview clip by Tim halfway through breakfast, whereupon hearing the audio start Damian climbed out the nearest window to get away. after a slightly paranoid text to Talia about whether or not she was in Gotham wearing a face covering helmet every night, be proceeds to freak the fuck out. he has no idea who the Red Hood is, or how Damian knows him. He also has no clue that Red Hood knows HIS identity, and fully plans on showing up to Wayne events in the helmet to antagonise Bruce by stealing food and demanding they talk about the ‘custody arrangements’ of their son. all he knows is that Damian broke a window in his haste to Not Explain Anything, and that Dick and Tim are wheezing hysterically on the other side of the house.
