DEAD DOGS FEAR NO HOLLOW CROWN
compilation
It feels like a lot of people have absorbed the idea that "Being mean is good!" without understanding why a lot of meanness exists and is in some ways encouraged in progressive spaces, and this leads to mean behavior being directed at intracommunity targets.
Being a mean gay is not about being shitty to your bisexual neighbor, it's about standing up to his shitty mom and telling him to get in your car, he doesn't have to stay under her roof.
Being a mean trans person isn't about being an asshole to people with neogenders, it's about being up in the face of people refusing to respect the pronouns of neogender people.
Being a mean disabled person isn't about dunking on people with "lesser" disabilities, it's about being utterly obstinate to abled people insistent that they can't possibly give accommodations for "just" that.
Being a mean marginalized person is something that you direct at people and systems directly and currently causing harm. Not at people you think have it easier than you. That is a lot harder to do. It's a lot of work. But if you're not willing to direct it at the right targets, then you are not just a dick, you are actively degrading solidarity and harming everyone in your community.
[ID: A drawing of Jon and Tim from TMA. They are both on a cot in document storage, a room full of filing cabinets and messy boxes, as well as fire extinguishers and stray clothes. Tim lies with his legs hanging off of the side of the cot. With one hand braced against the blankets, he leans down to kiss Jon on the forehead. He has his other hand in Jon’s hair, and his eyes are closed. Jon lies down fully, with his long hair fanning around him and a pained expression on his face. Jon is depicted as a thin, South Asian man with brown skin and black and gray hair. Tim is depicted as East Asian and pale, with dark hair that is growing out. They’re both covered in various scars. End ID. ]

× Summer started in May. It is still Summer, even though it is already the end of October.
× The scorpions are hiding. They are the sand, the wall, the cement. Only the green glow of their bodies at night alow us to slay them.
× There isn't a cloud in sight. The vast blue stretches hopelessly for miles farther than you can see. There is no end to the sky. There never has been, never will be.
× It's only 100°F outside. You thank the sun for being merciful.
× The rain is coming. You can tell by the wall of dust that's rolling toward your town.
× Monsoons have filled the parks with ponds. People swim and kiak there, happy that the ground was too hard to be pelted away by the rain. We do not wish to see what is underneith.
× The sun is bright and for once the wind is cool and gentle. You close your eyes and for a moment you imagine it's a lovely summer day. But it's only the dellusions of an early November.
× The lizards are about.
× The Cooing Doves gather in droves. They are mindless, yet organized. You wonder where they come from.
× Don't go into the desert at night. The military appriciates your cooperation.
× It's lightning storm season. The tease of rain is in the air, but it will never come.
× It's raining, it's pouring, it's unyeilding and destroying.

Damian is much better with animals than he is with people, and they’re much easier to understand.
Damian isn’t uncaring for animals, but it’s easier to express care for animals, he often stops patrolling to take in animals off the streets of Gotham
Bruce is very (not) annoyed by this, he pretends he hates the cat hair all over the manor and the cave but he actually loves it
Damian has a cow, three dogs (ace Titus and firefly), the bat cow, Goliath, Alfred the cat that he calls pennyworth like the actual Alfred, jerry the turkey, and Nicholas the Maine coon (a very large cat)
He loves pressure, Titus and ace laying across him as he sleeps is one his biggest comforts and easiest ways to calm him down, he hates other peoples hugs most times, so pressure from his pets his always best.
He took in jerry and the turkey during the first thanksgiving the entire family spent together, Alfred was originally going to serve him for dinner and made sure that Tim and dick kept Damian out all day so he wouldn’t adopt the bird (Alfred failed)
Damian loves the cave, he loves to train and just hide out in there, there’s so many dark and cold corners no one can see him in
He hides in the corners and rafters of the cave with noise canceling headphones on, sometimes listening to his favorite music as he reads, he reads books he stole from Jason or learns new languages.
Dick once found him up there and didn’t let Damian know he was there, he didn’t want to intrude on his personal space and just left, letting Bruce know Damian was safe in the manor
Damian wasn’t allowed to stim in the league but after years he finally feels safe enough to stim in front of other people.
He flaps his hands when he’s happy and not with the pets, when he’s with his pets he rubs his hands through his fur. Damian also likes snapping stims.
He doesn’t bounce when he’s happy but he rocks back and forth happily while flapping.
One of his favorite noises are bird noises, he likes their caws and coos and recreating them are some of his favorite vocal stims.
he only vocal stims with Jon, because Jon doesn’t care, he just smiles at him with that weird look in his eye Damian doesn’t know how to place.
Jon is damians favorite non animal pressure, he’s the only he actually likes hugging him. Jon always asks and Damian mostly always says yes, because Jon knows the exact right pressure. He squeezes just tight enough, Damian loves it.
Jon also always indulges his hyperfixations, Damian can rant for hours about his favorite animals and bugs, as well as listen to Damian test his new languages. (Since moving into the manor he’s learned Japanese, Spanish and mandarin)
Jon sends Damian pictures of every animal he sees and every bug on trees at his school, he also always replies to Damian as soon as possible. (He’s gotten in trouble many times at school)
Damian sometimes feels like he’s failed his father, because he never take up the mantle of the Batman, the greatest detective, when he doesn’t understand people.
Damian always feels failed whenever he sees his dad solve a cause, especially when he talks to people, how he can always tell when their lying, Damian never can, unless he knows them well enough.
Damian can solve mysterious on paper, but he never feels like it’s enough to be the greatest detective. Jon tells him he doesn’t have to be the next Batman, and even if he does, it’s so far away he shouldn’t worry about it just yet, and just to be content with being Robin
It takes Damian a while to just let himself be Robin instead of worrying about being good enough to be Batman
Damian takes up baking with Steph and Cass when Cass is stressed out, it’s calming to help them bake and talk while everything cooks
Damian slowly learns that he doesn’t have to force himself to make eye contact, that’s it’s okay to speak to father while tangling his fingers and staring at his feet, he won’t be seen as weak.
Just Damian being autistic cus he’s my new comfort character and I’m autistic
