since you’ve asked so nicely

Rui as the fox was what started it all for me. Like “great shows can’t be made alone” and the fox talking about all the wonderful things that would happen if he were to be tamed… Rui’s craving for connection just fit the fox so well.

The other three I mostly chose for like, scenes/dynamics I wanted to see with them. So Tsukasa and Emu are the little prince and the rose respectively bc of their back-and-forth of *wild statement* *exaggerated frustration* but ultimately Tsukasa does want to take care of her (thinking of him calling her “our stubborn little princess” in his Smile of a Dreamer card story). And like the prince’s arc from running away from the rose because he can’t keep up with her requests before he realizes he needs to go back to her and Tsukasa’s begrudging assistance in the main story to swearing to help Emu save the stage.

And Nene’s the aviator for largely the same reasons: her and Tsukasa’s bickering just makes me think Nene would absolutely get fed up with Tsukasa insulting her sheep and just draw him a box instead. And her role as the “normal” one in the group also lends to it (emphasis on the quotes). She calls everyone in the troupe crazy for accepting a robot while she’s the one piloting the robot. She’s grown up, let go of being childish, but she’s still listening intently to the little prince’s story.

But like your casting is so so good! The longer I think abt it the more I love it. Like little prince Emu’s asteroid hopping is so perfect; she’s meeting all these grownups who care only about sums and wealth and other pointless things and it’s all just very odd to her. And Rui drawing the boa constrictor is heartbreaking. He’s trying to convey something through his art that nobody around him can understand… And Emunene being the little prince and the fox. They’re absolutely this quote from the fox: “Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow.” And the slow, deliberate process it takes to tame a fox, and how long it took to get Nene to come out of her shell while Emu constantly reached out to her; they’re adorable. And Tsukasa will cry and throw up if he isn’t special ur so right. Tysm for responding to my ask!

OOOOOOOOH MYJTJ IT'S SO CUTE I CRIED FOREVER I LOVE THESE SOMUCH THANK YOU FOR SENDING YOUR DRAWINGS I T____T emu rose is the cutest ever ever ever. i love YOUR CASTING SO MUCH. here i throw this before i go under a readmore to scream

Dick was an absolute asshole to jason when Bruce first brought him in

Dick and Jason’s first meeting has happened a stupid amount of times, but the first one (with a recognizable Jason Todd), Batman #416, Dick adjusts pretty well. They meet because Jason messed up a drug bust, which Dick is understandably frustrated at him for because he has no clue and no context for who this kid is. But after confronting Bruce about it, he makes it up to Jason. He gives Jason his old Robin costume as a sign he’s accepted the kid (which replaces the instance with the very first Jason Todd pre-crisis where Dick was the one who offered the Robin suit in the first place).

Swapped out his so caller ‘brother’ for a new model and didn’t even have the decency to TELL tim about it.

First off, Dick didn’t give Damian the Robin suit. Alfred did. By the time Dick came back after the Battle for the Cowl fiasco, Damian had already gotten Alfred’s tacit approval and contradicting that absolutely would have made things worse. He was trying to keep his 10yo little brother from running off because if Damian chose to, there was basically nothing he could do about it. Dick was trying his best to keep things from falling apart, and sure he didn’t do everything perfectly but he was trying his best to keep things together after his dad died. I’m sure Dean is a good older brother but he never had to deal with managing sibling conflicts without both of them thinking you like the other more by the end.

And the idea of Dick trying to put Tim into Arkham was literally never in the comics or anywhere else. That is I’m pretty sure entirely a fanon creation because I haven’t seen a reference for it anywhere. The only times Dick went after Tim were to get him to come home because he loved his brother and worried about him.

Anyways, Dick loves his brothers, and tries his damned hardest to make everything work, but when you have four younger siblings who are trying their hardest to kill each other, it is not easy. Please keep us elder siblings of multiple little siblings in your heart.
