if i were to exist / to be okay with living, as a thing who does not live at all

When I was having a return to getting too wrapped up in stupid arguments the other day like a dummy, i started thinking about "Steph used a $1000 dollar microphone being evidence her family isn't financially struggling" thing

Then I remembered Steph specifically saying it was from Radio Shack analogue.

I kind of knew this without googling, but I did to confirm, Radio Shack has never sold S1000 parabolic microphones or like, any kind of mic like that. But I did come across this Someone did create a parabolic microphone OUT of inexpensive radio shack gear

So I'm going to pretend that's what Steph did from now on illustration aside. It's so fun to imagine her crafting this thing.

my gcese are finally over dude I’m soooo happy (gcese are like the exams up you take at 16 in England)

But animatic! My little pride and joy right now :3

Characters: Tim Drake/Kon-el: Conner Kent

Summary: Kon frowns. “Don’t tell me you’re retiring because you didn’t go to prom?”

Tim’s mouth twitches—it’s not quite a smile.

“I’m retiring,” he takes a shuttering breath, “because I don’t know how to want anything else.”

*************

The first time Kon meets Damian, he’s reporting for Robin Duty™.

He doesn’t have an opinion on Damian. Not a substantial one. Tim has mentioned him in passing and so has Jon, but his introduction to the Batfamily came at a bad time. Between being dead, off world, and Tim M.I.A, first contact hadn’t happened for them yet.

Kon feels a little bad—that the first time they lock eyes happens to coincidentally be the same moment he finds out that his best friend has apparently quit his mantle. He feels Cassie’s hand on his shoulder, steadying him as Nightwing makes introductions, and explains that the former Robin Tim has decided to step back.

dick grayson/roy harper || 4.1k, explicit sexual content, set during outsiders (2003) #17

Roy sighs, “Come here.” Dick moves towards him, sinking into all the dead space.  He’s never had to wonder whether he’ll lose this — this strange thing that lives between them, the way he knows when Roy is smiling in the dark, or can map the contours of his face in his head, even over a comm-line; this unspeakable awareness of each other. Like there’s a matching tether inside him. 

Sorry it took me so long to get to all of these, I’ve spent the last few weeks scrounging up every single resource I could get my hands on so that I could make a comprehensive list of which nicknames are canon and which are fanon and it took a SUPER long time. The bottom line is I ended up accidentally making a whole-ass Google Slides for every single batkid nickname, and while the whole project isn’t anywhere near finished yet, I managed to complete the slides needed to answer all of these questions. So...yeah! Here’s what I found:

Dickie/Dickie-Bird:

Jason seems to be the main nickname-user of the family, so aside from the aforementioned comics, there isn’t very much content of Dick being called “Dickie” or “Dickie-Bird”. (I also want to bring up “Big Bird,” which I see Jason calling Dick sometimes in fanfics. That one’s not canon anywhere, unfortunately.) Dick used to be called “Dickie” sometimes as a term of endearment during his circus days, but after that it’s not likely you’ll see any of his family members calling him something other than Dick. 

Little Wing:

Sadly, “Little Wing” hasn’t been used in any canon content after this comic, which is a major bummer since the fandom has turned it into one of Jason’s most popular nicknames (from Dick at least).

Jay/Jace/Jaylad/Jaybird:

(I didn’t list the comic sources for the more widely used nicknames since they’re so common in comics that you could find them pretty much anywhere.) 

I’d say that Bruce called Jason “Jay” far more during his Robin days than he does now, though that could be attributed to their more distant relationship nowadays. (Or maybe I just didn’t happen to read the specific modern comics in which he called Jason “Jay” or “Jace/Jase”.)

Yeahhh, sorry about this one. “Jaylad” is kind of the Schrödinger's cat of nicknames. The fandom ended up misconstruing the term over time. and losing the comma between “Jay” and “lad” so it became “Jaylad” and everyone just stuck with it.

The main person who seems to use this one is Roy Harper, as I haven’t yet found a comic in which one of Jason’s family members calls him “Jaybird”. You can open pretty much any comic with both Jason and Roy in it and expect Roy to say it at least once.

Timmy/Timbers/Timbo:

I haven’t seen anyone calling Tim “Timmers” in canon, but otherwise, most of the other common nicknames derived from Timothy are canon.

Pretender/Replacement:

I always found it wild how Jason never once called Tim “Replacement” in a comic, and yet we all managed to latch onto it anyway and make it his go-to nickname for Tim? That takes some dedication, man. Otherwise, Jason called Tim “Pretender” a few times during Batman: Hush, and that was about it. 

Baby Bird/Baby Bat:

I know a lot of people hate the nickname “Babybird” (for whatever reason), but honestly, I’m really hoping that DC makes it a thing because dammit, we deserve this breadcrumb at least. As of right now, the only batkid who has ever been called “Babybird” was Damian, and it was by his mom. (In fanon, it’s typically Tim who is called “Babybird” while Dick is “Dickie-Bird” and Jason is “Little Wing”. Who decided this, I have no idea but I’m not complaining.) I also included “Baby Bat” since I see that one pretty often too, and that one is sadly not canon either. The DC writers really don’t want us getting our hands on any family fluff whatsoever, huh.
