Also I cannot take drawing Timâs bowl cut. Will I do it again. Yes I love Tim too much not to đ Damian was hard to draw at first but idk it just clicked for me.
Cropped versions under cut
Just another Tuesday for the Batfam I guess.

Every single fic update there is an author trying frantically to find the right balance between a nonchalant aside of "leave a comment if you enjoyed =)" and clinging desperately to the coat tails of a random stranger, dragging along behind them on the street wailing "Please, please! I have to know what you thought! I'm desperate to talk to people about this! Ask me about the alliterative repetition! Ask me about the symbolism!"
HC that the average life expectancy in Gotham is actually four years higher than the national average because they collectively just keep refusing to die
So my Batfamily brain rot is back (not that it ever really left) and I just had a thought likeâŚ
If youâre a henchman/criminal in Gotham, seeing your life flash past your eyes is gonna be a somewhat regular occurance but⌠what if like⌠the thing that truly made a henchmanâs heart fall to his ass was when they hit Robin just a little too hard and this 10 year old kid just starts crying and goes âDaaaaaadddd!â
Thatâs the moment when they truly think theyâre going to die because said dad, the kid is calling for is a 6â6 demon from hell whoâs all muscle and shadows and vengance and a lot of Gotham still thinks heâs a cryptid
The henchmen all drop their guns and try to calm the kid down but itâs over in 5 seconds flat. Batman breaks several bones before speaking to Robin in the softest voice theyâve ever heard him use and the criminal world, who was already a bit hesitant to fight a kid have even more reason to take it just a little easy on Robin.
And like, I can picture different reactions with every Robin.
Like, for Dick, heâs ten and we all know he was the most violent Robin second only to Damian so maybe when heâs ten or eleven and has calmed down a little, a henchback who still remembers what a little shit he used to be decides to get back at Robin, slips on a pair of brass knuckles and BAM
And then, little Dick just stares for a moment in shock, cheek already starting to bruise, the criminals heâd been fighting all stay still because it was a nasty punch and thenâŚ
âDaaaaad!!!â He cries out in a whiny voice that reminds them that Robin really is just a kid and it all clicks into place.
Even Bruce wasnât expecting that, Dick has just started calling him dad and he still isnât used to being called that so to hear his kid calling for him in the moment where he is startled and hurt and a little scared⌠the henchmen donât even have time to react and they wake up in the hospital with concussions and maybe a few broken bones.
It doesnât take Dick long to calm down, it was mostly that the hit from a random henchmen really startled him and got him right in the cheekbone. But Bruce still finishes patrol early and Dick still hides under Bruceâs cape all the way to the Batmobile.
Then comes Jason and Jason was such a sweet kid, I headcannon he was the one that called Bruce dad the most often while being Robin. So one night during patrol maybe he finds himself fighting Penguin or Two-Face and itâs been a long night and he has an exam the following day and Bruce is fighting another villain at the other side of the warehouse
The point is, the henchmen and Two-Face start landing hits on eleven year old Jason in his gut and at some point he loses sight of Batman fighting on the other side of the room. Jason gets scared because heâs never really fought without Batman and while he knows that Bruce is still in the warehouse, he canât see him and the handle of a gun hits the back of his ankle and he falls and he sees Two-Face or Penguin or one of the henchmen getting ready to grab the front of his uniform and beat him up andâŚ
âDaaaaddd!â
The criminals freeze for a moment. Theyâve heard the stories of what happened the last time a Robin called scared for dad.
Theyâre fucked.
They all drop their guns and try to get Jason to calm down, but heâs crying just a little bit and calls again, his voice breaking and despite having been at the other side of the warehouse just a second ago, Bruce somehow drops from the ceiling and itâs over before the criminals can keep pleading with Robin to calm down.
Jason tries to apologize for âacting like a babyâ but Bruce is having none of it and carries him back to the Batmobile and Jason is happy to just hide his face in Bruceâs cape because he knows his dad will always be there to save him.
Then comes Tim.
And Tim gets found out while doing reconnisance and somehow he finds himself face to face with Bane who manages to wrench away his bo staff and Tim is just eleven and he is scared because Bane doesnât look like heâs going to hold back
All Tim knows is that the crack he hears must surely be his ribs either cracking or breaking and he canât breath and he can only muster enough air for a single word⌠and he calls for his dad through tears and fear
And at this point⌠at this point Batman has already lost a Robin, Tim may not be his legally but he is his son just as much as Jason was
Bane spends a month in the ICU
Tim is embarrased that he reacted like that. He thinks it makes him less of a Robin to called scared for Batman⌠for dad.
So Bruce tells him of the other two times it happened. Itâs one of the first times heâs spoken about Jason to Tim so bluntly.
Then comes Stephanie.
Stephanie never calls Bruce dad when sheâs Robin. Sheâs not his daughter and heâs not her dad. Theyâre not sure what exactly they are to one another.
As far as Bruce knows, Stephanieâs version of Robin never called out to him when she was scared.
What he doesnât know is that it did happen. Just once
It was the last time she was Robin. When Black Mask had her and she thought she was going to die
At some point while bleeding and feeling nauseous and so scared she could barely hear anything that wasnât her own heart beating wildly against her chest⌠she called for dad. Not for Arthur Brown, but for Bruce
Black Mask laughed at her
Stephanie never tells Bruce
And finally⌠Damian
Now, we know Damian would probably never be startled enough to call for Bruce out of instinct, so I can see 2 scenarios in which this could happen.
First, he sees another kid do it. He sees a kid close to his own age laughing and playing, then tripping and staying quiet for a split second before crying out for mom and dad and he just⌠assumes thatâs something kids do when scared and hurt and startled and does it mostly in an attempt to be a little more ânormalâ
Or, my favorite scenario⌠he hears of the other times it has happened. He overhears maybe Dick remind Jason of what Bruce did when Jason called out to dad as Robin. Tim maybe jokes that a Robin calling for dad is still the villainsâ greatest fear
So Damian stores that knowledge away as a battle strategy just in case he ever needs it⌠and maybe a small part of him wants to put it to the test, to see if his father would protect him as brutally as heâs protected the Robins before him
So some random night during patrol, heâs up against several henchmen, a few of them grab him from behind, trying to hold him down. Damian is fighting against them when one of them swings a cylinder of metal that Damian thinks mightâve been meant for the plumbing andâŚ
The henchman breaks Damianâs nose, thereâs blood dripping down his chin and staining his uniform
Now⌠it is most certainly not the first time heâs broken something, heâs more than used to the pain, in fact, he barely feels it. However, it gives him a chance to put his little theory to the test
And so Damian allows himself to sound like the ten year old that he is and in a whiny, teary voice, goes⌠âBabaaaaa!â (Bonus points if itâs the first or second time heâs called Bruce baba instead of father)
What Damian didnât take into account though, is that Batman and Robin arenât the only ones on patrol that night. They made a big bust. The biggest part of the operation was over but they were still fighting a few stragglers. The whole fucking family is here.
And they all hear his cry.
Damian doesnât think heâs ever seen a fight end so quickly. The henchmen only have a split-second of surprise before vanishing, being tackled or shot or having knives buried on their shoulders by his siblings.
The one that actually broke Damianâs nose is being beaten up by Nightwing, Damian doesnât think heâs ever seen Grayson so angry.
A shadow kneels in front of him, father. Baba. Heâs checking Damian and Todd is right at his side, both speaking in hushed tones, checking his injuries and wiping the tears that usually came with a broken nose.
And now⌠Damian is used to his father and Grayson treating him like a child, trying to be as soft as they can with him. Even Cain does it to some extent.
But⌠having Drake wrap an arm around him, calling him baby when knocking out one of the criminals that had hurt him âthatâs my fucking baby brother!â and continue to hold him later into the night on the couch, having Brown willingly give up all the snacks she keeps in her utility belt and promise to take him to Batburger the following day for milkshakes because he was âa champâ. And Thomas wraps his favorite blanket around Damian while theyâre fixing him up.
Todd decides to stay the night at the manor. Which he never does. They all decide to spend the night at the manor when Damian still sniffles on the Batmobile and they have breakfast all of them together. Which Damian isnât sure has ever happened before and Cain gets Alfred to make pancakes with chocolate chips instead of blueberries.
They call him baby in hushed whispers but for once, it doesnât bother him even though it really should
But most of all, Bruce refuses to let him go for a good five minutes after he first cries for him. Smoothing down his hair and whispering that itâll be okay and just being soft in a way Damian has never seen before.
He sleeps between his Baba and Grayson and he knows that Todd and Drake and Cain check in on them at least twice in the night for some reason.
And he realizes itâs⌠itâs nice. Maybe this really could be an effective battle strategy to be employed again someday.

#mood today
The reason the number of women and children killed by Israel tends to be higher and remains significant is due to the fact that with the ongoing displacement, families tend to move in together, making the number of people sheltering together reach 30 or 40 people at times.
With that, the men of these families tend to let women and children take shelter during the night inside apartments and houses when available, knowing they provide more relative warmth and comfort, while men tend to seek shelter for the night elsewhere, usually in tents in open areas. This means that when Israel deliberately strikes homes during the night, the inevitable consequence is that the overwhelming majority of the people killed or injured will in fact be women and children.
Israel knows this and continues to deliberately strike homes, most of the time also knowing the exact number of people sheltering inside and even their ages. Women and children are not "collateral damage", they are specific targets that Israel had long deemed eligible, starting the day these women and children were born Palestinian.
The Devil only wants to be a Detective!! (Cover + Preview reveals)
SO here it is! A cover with several rough drafts of the pages I've done so far (I've got 7 pages as of now), I'll do the lining and render more when I've got the whole pages for each chapter!
I was actually planning to upload the whole chapter but my schedule won't let me... between college and preparing for two exhibitions (art and con) on May, I feel like I can't put my 100% on this.
And so I decided to put this project on hold and release the chapters starting on July 2024.
Hope you like this reveals for now! Thank you for all the support you gave me till today and I'll do my best! â*: .･. o(â§â˝âŚ)o .･.:*

hey guys, I could use your help with something! Sue is a Black disabled mother, migrant, and PhD student at Newcastle University who urgently needs solidarity. Newcastle University is reporting her to the Home Office in retaliation for her complaint about her abusive supervisor, in full awareness of her Stage 5 kidney disease. this is a life-and-death situation.
here's how you can help:
retweet Unis Resist Border Control's tweet about Sue's abusive situation at the University of Newcastle
sign the open letter to Newcastle University by 22 May
pass a motion with your UCU branch (template here)
donate to help Sue find a kidney donor, apply to Leave to Remain, pay solicitor fees, and cover living costs
Sue's story from the #WeAreAllSue toolkit:
In 2022, Sue Agazie, high-achieving in her field, was promised financial support for her tuition fees through scholarships and paid opportunities and enrolled into the PhD programme at Newcastle University Business School with this understanding. When Sue arrived in the UK in 2023, however, she learned that all of this financial promise was a lie; the scholarships that she had been promised never materialised. Instead, she has gone into horrific debt and is having trouble surviving.
For almost a year, Sue sought financial support for herself and her family, including grants and opportunities that would burnish the reputation of her supervisor and university as a whole. However, in that year, her supervisor not only prevented her from applying to scholarships and paid opportunities, but further controlled her research and day-to-day quality of life, with a high-level of surveillance, inappropriate supervisory practices, and escalating harassment of both her and her family.
These practices include this supervisor repeatedly preventing Sue from taking part in important professional development activities, such as research presentations, within the Business School. He also isolated her from her senior colleagues, forbidding her from attending particular activities they were facilitating, or spreading malicious rumours about them. Further, the primary supervisor repeatedly ignored Sue's pleas for support on funding applications and other opportunities that would alleviate the precarious financial situation into which she had been placed, telling her to âstop sending me links to scholarshipsâ.
This behaviour would culminate in the primary supervisor verbally abusing Sue a number of times, and maligning Sueâs husband, alleging that he has been too lazy to financially support her. These inappropriate supervisory practices belie Newcastle Universityâs commitment to gender equality under the Athena SWAN Charter, for which it holds a Silver award, and for which the Business School holds a Bronze award.
An environment of terror and retaliation
This environment of surveillance, harassment, and terror has grossly impacted the health of Sue as well as that of her spouse and children. In particular, her kidney condition escalated to stage 5 kidney disease, a severe and terminal illness that causes disablement and time-sensitive, highly-delicate medical needs, during this ordeal. The National Kidney Foundation in the United States indicates that âstress and uncontrolled reactions to stressâ can âlead to kidney damage.â These compounding issues have also understandably affected Sue's studies, although she has bravely persisted in her research, meeting important deadlines.
Sue raised these issues using relevant avenues of informal complaint, including her supervisory teams and student support services; there are multiple complaints that have been raised in this department. However, she did not receive sufficient support. Further, her severe health issues were not treated with the urgency and importance that they deserved. In October and November 2023, Sue's supervisor accused her of allegedly plagiarising his work in what Sue sees as a malicious act of retaliation and victimisation over her informal complaint, and an attempt to sabotage her reputation not just at Newcastle University, but to prestigious global networks. Following all of this mistreatment, Sue filed a formal complaint against her supervisor in February 2024.
Newcastle University is closing ranks
The university came back to Sue on 5 March 2024 with its response, alleging that she had fabricated the complaint against her supervisor in retaliation for his accusations of research misconduct against her, painting this vulnerable, disabled African student as a malicious liar. The supervisor even denies the relevance of her terminal illness and implicates her young child's behaviour in his response, while maintaining that her terminal illness "has nothing to do with her studies or work pressure here". Sue maintains: âDuring the time that I was supervised by the primary PhD supervisor, he neither kept in regular communication about my disability nor did he signpost me to relevant services within and outside of Newcastle University that could help me. It is dangerous for the primary supervisor to maintain that my disability would not have affected my studies. His comments show a gross level of disability discrimination that does not befit the reputation that Newcastle University seeks to cultivate as an inclusive place.â
Now, the university is claiming that Sue is not "engaging" sufficiently with the programme, and is threatening to report her to the Home Office, despite a written promise in January 2024 that her status would be unaffected due to the ongoing complaint process, and full knowledge of her terminal stage 5 kidney failure. Adding more insult to injury, Newcastle University Accommodation Service has been hounding Sue for rent arrears, even though they know she is critically ill and in a complaint with the university, surviving with the support of Food & Solidarity. Sue has pleaded with the universityâs Accommodation Service for a rent freeze, indicating her urgent health complications and her complaint underway with the university. In all correspondences, the Accommodation Service has ignored Sueâs pleas for clemency. There is real fear that the Accommodation Service will evict Sue, her husband and their child. This will, no doubt, cause real precarity to Sueâs already fragile health condition.
We are appalled that the Newcastle University Business School is utilising obvious misogynoirist tropes to close ranks around a disabled Black migrant student who has been treated horribly, and weaponising her precarious migrant status against her as she attempts to seek justice. We are also aware that Sue is not the only student in this situation and that there have been other complaints in this department. It is a stark illustration of the pernicious institutional racism at Russell Group universities that a disabled Black migrant woman with caring responsibilities has been treated this way not only by a supervisor, but by the institution, as well as the abject way these universities instrumentalise migrant students from the Global South as sources of income that they can afterwards dispose of.
Sue maintains that this ordeal has not diminished her resolve to complete her PhD studies at Newcastle University Business School. She says, âI want to finish my PhD research. But for that to happen, Newcastle University must provide the necessary support for a disabled student in a non-abusive environment. I hope that the university listens to me and we can come to a resolution on this matter soon.â
