Gotten back into the Young Justice comics. Might rewrite the entirely of the Young justice show to more fit the comics. Tell me if that would interest any of y'all.
Bart was canonically trapped in a video game for over half of his life, and he has a reaction time faster than the speed of light. There ain’t no way these people are beating him.
for science
big hater of people that erase bart from the narrative just to push timkon or treat him as stupid or an airhead or people that don't give time or depth to his relationship with tim or kon or cassie knowing that if it was either of them in his place people would not shut up about them
Young Justice but as text emojis, i don’t take criticism
Tim: 8|
Kon: B)
Bart: >:3
Cassie: ;P
Cissie: ^~^
Greta: X3
Anita: ,’)
Slobo: D:<
So if Speedsters can surround themselves and handle lightning just fine when they throw it and stuff, and lightning is 5 times hotter than the sun, theoretically a speedster should be able to survive on the sun. I’m Bart, and in this Ted talk-
HAWAIIAN SHIRT BUDDIES!
Im on my Jaybart shrap again 😩
Not me thinking about how everyone would react if Jay and Bart did start getting along, let alone seeing each other.
Tim wouldn’t be very surprised, just sigh very heavily. Kon would frown in disappointment and shake his head a lot. Cassie would be confused but also laughing a bit behind her hand.
The teams reaction to Bart complaining
Bart: Wally and I had a fight.
Tim: I’m sure he didn’t mean it.
_
Bart: Wally and I had a fight.
Kon: did you win?

Bart: Wally and I had a fight.
Cassie: next time, go for the eyes and then strike the throat-
inaccurate Core Four quotes #5
Tim: Comm check. Red Robin.
Kon: Superboy.
Cassie: Wonder girl.
Bart, in autotune: Impulse.
Everyone: ...
Tim: Bart, please tell me you did not-
Bart, still in autotune: Hack the commlink and program it in autotune? ...No?
*Tim sighs heavily*
Bart Allen is the only person who can actually flirt in the core four
Change my mind
inaccurate Core Four quotes #4
Tim: It costs 400 dollars to go see a therapist but it costs 0 to tell yourself "It be like that sometimes"
Kon, softly: Wha- No. Are you okay?
Cassie: Aren't you rich?
Bart: But, what if I start taxing you every time you say that?
Tim: Do you wanna die, Bart?
Bart: This is an economy, Tim. Nothing you do is free.
Cassie: Bart, who taught you that?
Bart, shrugging: I read it in a book somewhere.
Kon: uhm...
Cassie: Tim, you're literally rich, just pay for therapy.
Tim: No.
Bart: Why not?
Tim: Cause eat the rich.
Tim: Also student debt.
Bart: You're gonna eat somebody??
Kon: Bart, remember when we talked about metaphores?
Bart: That makes a lot more sense.
Cassie: You all need therapy.
Kon: And you don't?
Cassie: I punch things. That's theraputic.
Bart: What's therapy?
Kon: ...
Cassie: ...
Tim: ...
Cassie: Tim-
Tim, dialing Black Canary's number: Already on it.
Kon: Are you telling me you've never talked about your problems to anyone?
Bart: Why would I? problems are meant to be solved by yourself as a self discovering journy and bottled up emotions.
Kon: where'd you learn that?
Bart: Steven Universe.
Cassie: Guys, can we focus please?
Tim: She's on her way.
Bart: Who's on her way?
Cassie, wrapping a blanket around Barts shoulders: Shhh, we're gonna take care of you now.
Bart: But I'm fine-
Tim: There there, speed demon. You're in good hands.
Bart: ... sniffs thank you.
Kon: nods approvingly
A new reason for why Young Justice is all 17 and not aging. They started a Dionysus-style cult centered around Cassie to see if they could make her into a Goddess, and it worked. In return, she made them all her immortal companions'.
Tim Drake is Cassie Sandmark’s High Priest. The one who created a shrine, the one who called her ‘My Goddess’ to an alien, the one who brings offering—snacks, drinks, money, and such—, and the one who started it all.
Bart Allen is Cassie Sandmark’s second most devoted follower. He brings her snacks, shiny things, and beautiful new disastrous inventions. He is the second to call Cassie Sandmark his Goddess.
I can’t think of anything for Kon at the moment but that’ll probably change soon lmao
19 year old Phantom woke up strapped to a table in a lab in another dimension. He hadn't been to his home dimension in years for various reasons he really didn't want to discuss and spent most of his time in the Infinite Realms exploring with Ellie.
Danny casually phased out of his restraints and began wondering around. He heard the sounds of combat several floors down and figured that was why there was no one bothering him at the moment. It wasn't long before he came across a room filled with literal infants in hospital cribs and the only thing Danny could think was oh ancients, I got cloned again.
Needless to say he made several duplicates of himself and picked up all five children, cooing at them until they settled. Before making a portal back to the GZ Danny created a virus out of ghost lightning (something Technus taught him) and infected the computers to erase all data on it, regardless of wheat that data was.
By the time the Young Justice team burst in lead by Kon the information was already half destroyed and the clones that were made of each of them and the mysterious pit creature were gone.
By the time Tim managed to stop the virus there wasn't much left on the computers that was useful. They got a tiny bit more information on the pit creature, basically just 2 pictures of it. One of it sleeping in a talk filled with Lazarus water and one of it asleep restraints to a metal table. Other than that it was noted that its blood was a much much more potent version of the Lazarus Pit and was capable of bringing inanimate objects to life and at times giving them sentience.
They did get some camera footage of Phantom waking up, and everything that happened after, including the portal he made.
Kon was distraught that his little clone child was gone.
-----
Five years later Danny was none the wiser that most of the kids weren't his biologically. Not that it would have mattered much to him anyway. Danny had no idea why his daughters hair was blond. (Cassies clone) He didn't know many people from his extended family due to his parents being disowned long before he and Jazz were born so he just assumed it skipped a generation or two. Besides, she and one of her brothers (Dannys clone) had the same icy blue eyes as him. One seemed to have the same auburn hair as dannys mother and was ridiculously fast (Barts clone) and the biggest one (Kons clone) loved sunlight and danny made extra sure to bring him out to sunny areas often after a health scare early on. He already learned out to shoot lasers from his eyes and Dannys only concern was that the lasers were red instead of pink or green, which was unusual.
The smallest and smartest of the pack (Tim's clone) was very clingy and affectionate. He was almost always with dannys clone either playing together or being menaces to society. There was rarely an in-between.
It was on one of thier little adventures (Danny looks away for two seconds and the whole lot of them are gone) that they wondered back in to thier home dimension and got noticed pretty quickly due to Kons clone very obviously having kryptonian superpowers.
Here's were the problems start.
can we talk about this?
i get that this person is referencing the fact that she's drawn beautifully but cassie has always been a tomboy i don't get why they started making her more girly, they're stripping her of her og personality.
she actually looks like sabrina carpenter, stop this
bring back my tough girl!!!
I thought about them again, i really like when halloween specials show characters in fun costumes, specially when the characters already usually wear costumes…
Teen Titans/Outsiders: Secret Files and Origins (2003)
Cackling over this one panel of Cassie and the griffin that ate her homework. We need more Cassie and Greek myth/monster shenanigans.
if you go into Tim Drake comics with the expectations that tumblr and fanfiction have given you, you are going to be met with the rude awakening that is feral asshole Tim with minimal reaction to social cues. Like yes I love him. Yes he is self-deprecating and kind of insecure. Yes he's a genius and yes he's been screwed over by his family a lot. He is also a bit of a dick.
I can’t get over the fact that this IS the most likely ship name for them

DCxDP Persephone 2.0
(Somehow, even when I come up with an angsty scenario it turns into zany comedy hijinks. Send help.)
Cassie, Tim, Kon and Bart are hanging out, just chilling, when a glowing green minotaur pops out of nowhere and yoinks Wonder Girl into another dimension.
Obviously, Cassie is so not down with the whole kidnapping thing, so she starts beating up all the Greek mythological monsters in sight. Soon enough, Pandora pops out of the woodwork and orders everyone to stand down.
Pandora: *sigh* I ordered you to escort her here, not drag her kicking and screaming. Ugh, it's impossible to hire competent help these days. Come child, we have much to discuss.
Cassie: Uh, it's an honor to meet you ma'am, but why am I here?
Pandora: It's quite complicated I'm afraid. To make a long story short, a few years ago the tyrannical ghost king was defeated by a young ghost hero, and by right of conquest the crown passed to him. However, since he has not yet reached the age of majority a regency council was put in place until he is old enough to be formally crowned.
Cassie: What does that have to do with me?
Pandora: You see, your father, Zeus, wishes to make an alliance with this new power...
Cassie: Oh no
Pandora: ...and so he has offered your hand in marriage to the young prince, as he once did Persephone's to Hades.
Cassie: That fucking asshole!
Pandora: And the regency council has accepted on the prince's behalf.
Cassie: *cracks knuckles* So, what's your opinion on patricide?
***
When Cassie meets Danny, she fully expects him to be some pompous asshole.
Danny: I am so fucking sorry!
Cassie: Huh?
Danny: *wrings hands* I'm sorry you got dragged into this mess! This was not my idea! But the council are a bunch of stuck-up jerks who think this is for the good of the realm and...
Cassie: So the wedding is off?
Danny: Well... unfortunately Clockwork is the one who floated the idea? And he only gets directly involved if it's like, end of the world kind of stuff...
Cassie: Who's Clockwork?
Danny: The Master of Time. He uh, helped me prevent a potential future where my soul got merged with that of my arch-nemesis and I miiiight have wiped out all life on Earth. But uh, that timeline is gone and you don't have to worry about it!
Cassie, muttering: Chronos?
Danny: So I think we might be stuck with each other, unless you have an idea on how to get out of this?
Cassie: Well my friends are bound to come rescue me, so...
Danny: Stall?
Cassie: Stall.
Queen Dora, popping in with a dozen handmaidens, a measuring tape and hundreds of dress and fabric samples: ~ Who's ready for a makeover? ~
Cassie: Oh gods just kill me now
***
Cassie and Danny both go full Bridezilla in an effort to delay the wedding, nitpicking everything from the clothes to the flower arrangements.
Cassie: I am not wearing some poofy monstrosity to my wedding. I want a tux! If anyone's gonna wear a dress it's gonna be him.
Danny, posing in front of a mirror: What do you think, can I pull off a mermaid cut?
***
Eventually, they can stall no more and the day of the wedding arrives. Zeus is there to give her away as the father of the bride. Cassie tries to stab him with the cake topper.
The wedding proceeds, they are standing in front of the Observant who is officiating. Cassie is glaring murderously at Zeus. Danny just looks resigned. Suddenly, there's a loud screech and a bang. The team has arrived to crash the party...!
...by literally crash landing the stolen Specter Speeder on top of Zeus.
*smash cut to a flashback of Tim reading the Drs Fentons' research and breaking into Fentonworks*
Tim, Kon and Bart pop out of the smoking wreckage.
Tim: We object!
Observant, outraged: On what grounds?!
Kon: Wonder Girl can't marry the ghost prince, because... because I'm marrying her!
Tim and Bart: Wait what?
Danny: Oh thank fuck *rips off his veil and dress and chucks it at the Observant* Cassie, do you want to marry Superboy?
Cassie: I do!
Danny: Then by the power vested in me by the Crown and Ring, I now pronounce you Super and Wonder. You may kiss the bride or whatever.
Cassie dip kisses Kon in front of the assembled ghost citizenry. Tim and Danny disappear into a broom closet during the wedding reception. Bart demolishes like 90% of the buffet by himself.
***
In a dark room, Clockwork is repeatedly watching Zeus get pancaked in slow motion and chuckles to himself.
Roll Credits
Just to add to this, the entirety of the core-four/Tim's era of sidekicks are all drawn in incorrect ages at some point (or all the time in Barts' case)
Going off their ages in the original YJ comics, Tim is 2 years younger than Jason Todd (who will be my reference point), Bart and Cassie (I think) are both a year older than Tim (making them 1 year younger than Jason), and lastly KON IS THE SAME AGE AS JASON!
Which is something to think about since Jason is drawn like a man going through a mid-life crises but Kon is still drawn early 20s (or younger.)
Therefore, (going off Jason's' age being 22-23):
Tim: 20-21
Bart and Cassie: 21-22
Kon: 22-23
Personally, I think Kon and Cassie are the only two that are drawn to their correct ages (including Jason) and DC need to get their act together and get everyone's ages in order.
"Bart's aging has always been everywhere so it's not invalid to draw him like this [9-11 years old]."
Incorrect. While Bart's aging has been variable throughout the comics it has always been explained by a very clear and blatant events preceding the aging.
The youngest Bart has been in the comics barring flashbacks, and literal one-off aging time shenanigans, is 12 which was a thing for all of 3 pages then he rapidly aged to 14 and was stable for a long, long time.
Bart did not experience any changes in his aging (baring one gag issue where he was a toddler, and the Sins of Youth arc where he was an adult temporarily) for at least two years comic-time.
After apprehending Superboy Prime, Bart was aged to an adult, against the advisement of Geoff Johns and Mark Waid he spent time as The Flash until he was given a mercy kill.
Bart was brought back to life by Brainiac 5 in Legion of Three Worlds where he was reset back to his original age before he was aged up, landing him around 16-17 years old.
Flashpoint happened and he was taken out of comic continuity.
Bart come BACK into comic continuity but we are uncertain what his age is - and this is also something he himself is noted as saying he's not sure what his age is either. Logically, if he never aged while in the Speed Force then when he popped back out he would still be around 17 years old. This is the youngest he can be. Tim, Cassie and Cissie meanwhile aged around a year since Flashpoint and their ages are nebulous. Kon's age as well is uncertain.
Realistically, the Core Four should be in the 18-20 range at the youngest, but if we're going to be 'fair' and accept the reboot fucked age relationships up - then their last posted ages anywhere from 16-18 would be valid.
Bart is not being drawn anywhere near that age group currently in the current run of The Flash and is consistently being depicted as smaller than Jai. This could be valid, as 13 year olds can be VERY BIG and for some completely at their adult height - but the thing is Bart is being drawn SMALLER than he was pre-Flashpoint.
I am so sorry I am so agitated. Even being FAIR it doesn't add up or make sense.
Fixed typos and an error.
I wanted to draw out a character sheet for some of my favorite Titans/ Young Justice kiddos. I also wanted to redesign some of the more obscure forgotten heros who have potential to be really cool characters but DC kinda drops the ball with them constantly or ignores their existence altogether.
From left to right.
First Page/ Second Page:
Starfire, Raven, BeastBoy, Donna Troy, Terra, Nightwing, Kid Flash, Zachary Zatara, Impulse, Wonder Girl, Superboy, Red Robin, Miss Martian, Klarion and Teekl, Supergirl, Ravager, Aqualad, Arrowette, Blue Beetle,
Batgirl, Traci 13, Kid Devil, Jinx, Aquagirl, Arsenal, Solstice, Bumblebee, Bombshell, Mas y Menos, Spoiler, Orphan, Slobo, Bunker, The Empress, Superboy ll, Robin, Red Hood, and Secret.
Update! I think I fixed the problem! Also added a section with just the Batfam cause I love them.
been messing around with some Cassie redesigns lately where i basically take the elements of her past costumes that i like and shove them in a blender. I still have some more tweaks in mind but 🤷♂️
Do you think Young Justice has picked up sayings from each other? Like do they say fraggin' or oh Hera in an everyday conversation. they already call everyone 'Kid'. Like Kon in the middle of Kansas 'THANK Hera! That's over.' And all the civilians are like 'wtf?'
