All Love is Conditional: an Analysis of Tim Drake...
lectorel:
One of the most common themes in my stories is Tim and Damian in a close, positive relationship, platonic and otherwise. It frustrates me how little the Tim/Damian relationship is explored in canon. I think, given the chance, the two of them would not just be close, but easily fall into an unhealthy, single-minded obsession with one another. They’re fundamentally the same in several...

Batgirl and Nightwing: date night
dcwomenkickingass:
Artist StudioMia has put together a very sweet set of page layouts for a comic called Gotham Nights that focuses on a date night for Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson. I’m not a fan of that particular pairing but the artists’ pencils are so charming and fun, I really enjoyed this.
The story opens with Barbara getting ready for a date with Dick. The story is simple enough that...
Batgirl #24: the Director's Cut by Bryan Q. Miller
dcwomenkickingass:
For those of you who haven’t bought Batgirl #24 yet, what are you waiting for? This issue, the very last with Stephanie Brown as Batgirl, is a wonderful tribute to the Batgirl no one expected. Over the last two years Bryan Q. Miller took Stephanie Brown from a supporting player to leading player and, in my opinion as well as many others, the star of one the best books month in...

After all the money spent for holiday stuff this year, I nearly had a heart attack seeing a message in my e-mail from the bank, saying that they couldn’t deliver a critical message and needed me to e-mail them back some info. Then I took a closer look at realized it had all the ear-markings of info-farming spam mail meant to trick people into giving financial info away. UGH! I hate those...

Me: (talking to my husband over dinner) It's gonna be pretty cold tonight. Why don't we light a fire in the fireplace.
My 8-year old daughter: (with wide-eyed horror) What about Santa?! He's supposed to come down the chimney!
Me: *brainfreeze*
My husband: (without missing a beat) Yeah, hun... Talking about roasting chestnuts on an open fire.
My 8-year old: *totally too young to get the joke*
Me: *totally gets the joke and elbows my husband in the ribs for it*

Preview for Teen Titans #4 →
Looking forward to seeing what this issue is about.
Although, when i read the last three pages of the preview, all I could think was “Tim living in Howl’s Moving Castle!”
Either that or he’s become the Great Magician himself…
Or maybe just stole the magic front door…

A guy in my psychology class said he thought...
Me: Okay so if orientation is a choice, choose to be gay, right now.
Him: No.

DC/KH crossover on the brain - Soundtracking via...
While I’ve been working on a story for a Secret Santa, I’ve had my DC/KH crossover haunting the dark corners of my mind. As I listened to various songs (mostly by a Russian singer named Origa, much of it music from Ghost in the Shell) on YouTube, I set aside a few in a new playlist for the start of this crossover story.
Here are the songs I’ve put together so far, which each...

The Second Time You Fall In Love With Someone «... →
Excerpt:
The second time you fall in love with someone, you’re going to feel so relieved. When you get your heart broken for the first time, you can’t imagine loving someone else again or having someone else love you. You worry about your ex finding love before you do, you worry about being damaged goods. And then it happens. Someone else loves you and you can sleep well at night.
Please...

“It’s Okay to be Neither,” By Melissa Bollow Tempel
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got in line for art, and I noticed that she still had not removed her hood. When we arrived at the art room, I said:...

Nobody Matters Fic Notes: Red Robin/Tim Drake
Notes that have come to mind about the character Red Robin/Tim Drake in the DCU/Kingdom Hearts crossover idea I’m playing around with:
He’s the first of the heroes to fall during the initial invasion by the Heartless, when the Teen Titans were the first responders.
The Heartless (Xehanort-led?) were drawn to Tim because of his extremely strong, but wounded/broken/tainted heart (like...
