Just The Fandoms

women of dc week is a dc fan event dedicated to the women characters! women are vastly underappreciated in the wider fandom, and our goal is to give these women the love they deserve.

the event lasts a week from August 16-22 (2026), with each day dedicated to a genre of character (e.g. hero, villain, antihero). each day has two sets of prompts associated with it. these prompts are one word long and compliment each other in pairs (e.g. good/evil, laugh/cry). there are also a few pairs of prompts not associated with any specific day. you are welcome to use as many or as few prompts as you want, on any given day. these prompts are meant as inspiration rather than a hard rule. any type of fan works are encouraged!

there will be an ao3 collection for people's works they made for the event, and any work posted on tumblr will be reblogged here. be sure to tag this blog! late submissions are totally accepted, so don't worry about feeling rushed!

Day 4 of @dukethomas-week 2026!

HAPPY DUKE WEEK I TOTALLY DIDNT FORGET ABOUT IT!!

Missed day 1 and 2 (and now 3😭) so I’m mixing together pre-Robin and badly injured, but tbh I just wanted to draw baby Duke, AND a little unfinished Elaine and Duke art that I made a while ago but never posted

I love the trope of characters explaining the meanings of words repeatedly (He took 40 cakes. That’s as many as four tens!) like mojo jojo or in a series of unfortunate events! I like the idea of Duke having that after studying to take on the Riddler, but it’s more worded like it’s straight from the dictionary. Like mainly the word, part of speech, the definition, and an example.

(We are going to pretend it's still) day 1: Elaine & Duke

Captions cover the spot on the screen you put the information I need

The dialogue is captioned but not the song you have playing that the dialogue is responding to

You only captioned the person on the screen, not the person off screen who is also talking

No captioning of critical sound effects (alarms, bells, dogs barking, etc)

Speakers are not labelled at moments where it is not clear on the screen who is talking.

Captions cover the spot on the screen that you put the information I need!

Other d/Deaf people welcome to add.

@dukethomas-week Day 4 - Growth: Zero Year/Riddler

Panel redraw! 💖

(I low-key butchered the expressions 😑)

Zero year was actually one of the first full Batman volumes I ever read, and I still absolutely love it!

Og panel under cut

It's both a spiritual successor to GL: TAS and has some great John Stewart moments.

I really wish people would give it a read! Especially considering it features Aya, who is one of my all-all-time favorite DC characters.
